Lawrence S. Phillips, a longtime executive with Phillips-Van Heusen, his family's clothing company, and a founder of the American Jewish World Service, an aid organization dedicated to ending poverty and promoting human rights in developing countries, died on Friday at his home in Boca Raton, Fla. He was 88.
His son, David, confirmed the death.
For nearly 50 years Mr. Phillips held a variety of executive posts at Phillips-Van Heusen, a men's clothing company that traces its origins to 1881, when his great-grandfather Moses sold work shirts sewn by his wife, Endel, to coal miners in Pottsville, Pa.
He made his biggest impact, however, as a philanthropist, most notably when he joined with Laurence Simon, now a professor of international development at Brandeis University, to create a Jewish aid organization with broader aims than traditional Jewish charities.
At a news conference in 1985 to announce the creation of the American Jewish World Service, Mr. Phillips, who had previously been the only Jew on the board of Oxfam America, explained that the organization was responding to a concern "that there was no Jewish organization dealing exclusively with development projects for non-Jews throughout the world." Mr. Phillips served as chairman, Mr. Simon as president.
As its first major project, the organization airlifted medical and agricultural supplies to famine areas of Mozambique, with the goal of developing preventive health facilities and agricultural programs.
It also supported programs to improve economic opportunities for the Dalit, or "untouchable," caste in India; rebuilt houses destroyed by the 1985 volcano eruption in Armero, Colombia; and, to aid small farmers, promoted new technology and methods for storing grain. Since its founding, the organization has provided $270 million to development and human-rights organizations in the third world.
Lawrence Seymour Phillips, known as Larry, was born on March 20, 1927, in Manhattan. He attended the Horace Mann School in the Bronx and the Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, N.J. After serving in the Navy during World War II, he earned a history degree from Princeton in 1948.
He immediately entered the family business, working in the Phillips-Van Heusen plants, doing everything "from picking to packing to learning every operation for a for a couple of years," he told The New York Times in 1987.
He was named vice president for merchandising in 1951, executive vice president in 1959, and president and chief operating officer in 1967. In 1987, after the death of his father, he took over as chief executive. Under his leadership the company expanded its share of the dress-shirt market, overtaking Arrow, the industry leader, and revived the shoe company G. H. Bass after acquiring it in 1987.
In 1994 Mr. Phillips made the first gift — $5 million — to create the Phillips Ambulatory Care Center at Beth Israel Hospital in Manhattan, whose origins can be traced to a clinic on Henry Street that his great-grandfather helped found.
A vocal opponent of the Vietnam War and a supporter of liberal causes, he was particularly proud of earning a place on President Richard M. Nixon's "enemies list," compiled in 1971.
After retiring to Boca Raton, Mr. Phillips was active with the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County and, in 2000, took a seat on the board of the American Jewish World Service, having stepped down as chairman in 1991. He worked with the organization for several more years.
Mr. Phillips's two marriages ended in divorce. In addition to his son, he is survived by a daughter, Laura Phillips; a sister, Carol Green; and four grandchildren.

In so many ways this year has been tough.
So many changes, so many questions, and so much wading through the vast unknown.
And now, all of a sudden, I feel like I am on the "other side" of the surgery and all the "questions" that have occupied my head, heart, body and soul.
Being on this side feels like a new life, another chance, a re-start.
I know this feeling all too well.
Every health issue I have ever had has served as a kick in the pants. A reminder that we are here to love, we are here to learn, we are here, period. So just do what you want to do already!
Today I found a surprise in my suitcase. It's a wine opener with a message that opened up my heart as soon as I read the words inscribed on it:
No Turning Back
It was placed there by Jaynane, in her signature style of heart-warming surprises.
She has been reminding me of this ever since we got the good news of my cancer-free clean bill of health — there is no turning back.
And she's right.
There is only moving forward.
That is the precious present of time, although it comes with a double-edged sword that swiftly moves us forward whether we are ready or not.
So tonight I ask… if you know there is no turning back, how will you move forward?
What will you do next?
More tomorrow.
Lovemore {fearless}

Janet Jackson Smashing Bobby Brown's Gumby To Smithereens Sent Twitter Into Chaos And We Still Can't Recover
Janet Jackson Smashed Bobby Brown
The Bobby Brown Story on BET was certainly newsworthy as hell. We learned a lot about Whitney and Bobby's relationship, Bobby smashing Ghostbuster girls in movie trailers and all that. But the biggest story that everyone can't get over is the hotel smash session between Bobby Brown and Janet Jackson. Yes. Child.
Bobby Brown was all in his feelings because Janet Jackson put that p**** on him and had him sprung off the nastiness. The sex scene was pretty graphic and we saw why he was crying over her ditching him. Still, a lot of the young bucks on Twitter never knew this was a thing. Hell, most of us forgot about it.
So naturally everything burned to the ground with what ifs, jokes and sex talk. Take a look…

Sowing density and cultivar effects on pith expression in solid-stemmed durum wheat
Nilsen, K.T., Clarke, J.M., Beres, B.L., Pozniak, C.J. (2016). Sowing density and cultivar effects on pith expression in solid-stemmed durum wheat, 108(1), 219-228. http://dx.doi.org/10.2134/agronj2015.0298
© 2016 by the American Society of Agronomy. The wheat stem sawfly (WSS) (Cephus cinctus; Hymenoptera: Cephidae) is a destructive insect pest of spring, winter (Triticum aestivum L.), and durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) in North America. Sawfl y larvae hatch from eggs deposited inside the stem, and their subsequent feeding damages vascular tissue, reducing photosynthetic capacity and grain yields. Growing solid-stemmed wheat cultivars that develop pith in the culm lumen is the most effective method to minimize yield losses. Recent work has focused on optimizing sowing densities to achieve maximum levels of pith expression and grain yields in common wheat; however, little research has been conducted on durum wheat. We investigated the influence of four sowing densities (150, 250, 350, 450 seeds m–2) on pith expression in two newly released solid-stemmed durum cultivars, CDC Fortitude and AAC Raymore, and compared them to the solid-stemmed common wheat cultivar, Lillian. CDC Fortitude and AAC Raymore displayed consistently high levels of pith expression across environments and sowing densities, in contrast to Lillian, which produced only slightly more pith than the hollow-stemmed durum check cultivar, Strongfield. A yield drag oft en associated with high pith expression was not evident as CDC Fortitude and AAC Raymore produced grain yield similar to Strongfield. When averaged over cultivars, increasing sowing density had a positive effect on grain yield, but was negatively associated with stem solidness. Our findings suggest that, unlike with CWRS solid-stemmed cultivars, altering sowing density is not required to achieve effective sawfly resistance with CDC Fortitude and AAC Raymore.

Guccifer 2.0, the hacker behind the highly controversial DNC hacks, has struck again, this time releasing documents from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). The documents released included a list of passwords for various DCCC accounts, as well as contact information, including private email addresses and cell phone numbers for House Democrats.
Officials are quick to blame the Russian government for the hack, as they blamed them for the DNC hack (without any real evidence) and apparently concluded that since it's the same guy as the last time, it must be the Russians again.
Of course, the evidence of Russian involvement is no better this time than last time (which is to say, non-existent), and these newly leaked documents include so many embarrassingly simple passwords that the narrative of such hacking requiring a whole nation-state's resources to be possible no longer holds much weight.
Democratic officials are downplaying the seriousness of the matter, saying they didn't expect the loss of private email addresses or cell numbers to have any impact on the elections, and that they were not wholly taken by surprise that the hack happened.

Everytown Responds to New Report of Expanding Ties Between the National Rifle Association and Russian Officials, Releases Five Questions Gun Lobby Must Answer
NRA's Silence is Deafening as Washington Post Reveals Growing Close Ties Between NRA and Russia
WASHINGTON – In response to last night's report in The Washington Post on ties between the National Rifle Association and Russian officials, Everytown for Gun Safety released the following statement from President John Feinblatt, along with five questions that NRA leaders should answer. On Friday, President Donald Trump spoke at the NRA-ILA Leadership Forum – the first time a sitting President has spoken at the event in more than 30 years. According to published reports, the NRA spent over $50 million in last year's elections – more than double their previous spending.
"It's no surprise that the NRA is refusing to answer questions on their deliberate outreach to Russia. While NRA leaders like to talk about carrying the mantle of freedom, it appears they have been quietly cozying up to Moscow's authoritarian regime. This engagement with Russia is the latest data point that this group is not your grandfather's NRA – it's a political organization promoting a 'guns everywhere' agenda that puts the profits of gun manufacturers – no matter where they are based – ahead of public safety here in America. It's time for the NRA to come clean on all of their engagement with Russian officials."
1. Does the NRA invest in Russian-owned entities, or have NRA officials advised Russian gun rights organizations?
2. Given the NRA spent over $50 million on the 2016 elections at a time it was expanding its outreach to Russia, did any of these funds come from Russian sources?
3. Does the NRA have a current position on U.S. sanctions against Russia since they opposed them in 2014?
4. Was the NRA involved in coordinating, financing or scheduling Bank of Russia Deputy Chairman Alexander Torshin's cancelled meeting with President Trump in February 2017?
5. During the NRA's 2015 trip to Moscow, NRA representatives met with Russia's Deputy Prime Minister, Dmitry Rogozin – a sanctioned Russian official. Was the 2016 presidential election discussed?
On Saturday in Atlanta, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a part of Everytown for Gun Safety, rallied together with hundreds of Georgia leaders, gun violence survivors, and advocates from around the country to fight back against the NRA leadership's dangerous "guns everywhere" agenda.

Most people would like to become a good leader. Natural leaders are blessed, but the rest of us have to work hard for success. There are many skills tied into top leadership, and many styles and techniques tied to it too. If you would like to become a better leader, then continue reading to learn new ways to become a more effective leader.
Don't think your employees are going to be able to read your mind. Be concise with what you want done and how you want it done. Therefore, if folks need clarification about what you want done, they will be comfortable asking for it.
A good leader will inspire creativity. Creative thinking and the risk taking that it entails can mean great success in the future. Be open to innovation and unexpected courses of action. Remain open to new ideas, even those that do not appear feasible at the moment. Help others add to those ideas within the whole.
Good leaders must focus on what is to come. You must look to the future, look ahead, and make plans for that. You will not always be sure of what is going to happen, but over time this will become one of your skills. Always think about where you hope to be a year from now, and then take steps in that direction.
Are you the leader of a group? Be sure they're aware of how appreciative you are of them. Just write them a quick note saying thank you for the hard work. A little acknowledgement can lift a mood, brighten a day and doesn't cost you a thing.
You can compete with other businesses and still uphold your work ethic. If your competition does things you find uncomfortable, you don't have to follow their lead. You shouldn't have to stoop to their level. Once you have found a way to compete without lowering your standards, you will feel better about your decisions.
While goals are important for your team, ensure that you do not set impossible goals. Setting goals too high sets you up for failure. This is one way to show the world that you are not a very good leader at all.
It pays to dedicate a specific amount of time daily to assessing progress of the team. Ask a few team members to join in this reflection if you'd like. They can offer suggestions and you can discuss everything.
Mean everything you say. To be a good leader, one must be accountable for how they conduct themselves. You're the center of the company and what you say and do reflects them. If you have done or said things you ought not have, you must fix it. It is not up to others to solve these issues.
You must be able to communicate through words effectively. Leadership doesn't just mean that you should follow a vision and that's it. Your success relies on your use of words, as well. If your writing is full of grammar or spelling errors, people may not take you seriously. Remember that, and take note of how and what you're writing.
Many qualities create an effective leader. Depending on what your personality is like, you might just find ways that are unique to lead the group you have under you. Leadership can get easier and easier.

In February, 1980, two months after the birth of my second child and the simultaneous end of my marriage, I fell madly in love. I was looking for a place to live, and one afternoon I walked just ten steps into an apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and my heart stood still. This was it. At first sight. Eureka. Ten steps in and I said, "I'll take it."
The apartment was huge. It was on the fifth floor of the Apthorp, a famous stone pile at the corner of Broadway and Seventy-ninth Street. The rent was fifteen hundred dollars a month, which, by Manhattan standards, was practically a bargain. Trust me, it was. In addition, I had to pay the previous tenant twenty-four thousand dollars in key money (as it's known in New York City) for the right to move in. I didn't have twenty-four thousand dollars. I went to a bank and borrowed the money. No one in the building could believe that I would pay so much in key money for a rental apartment; it was an astronomical amount. But the apartment had beautiful rooms (most of them painted taxicab yellow, but that could easily be fixed); high ceilings; lots of light; two gorgeous (although nonworking) fireplaces; and five, count them, five bedrooms. It seemed to me that if I lived in the building for twenty-four years the fee would amortize out to only a thousand dollars a year, a very small surcharge. I mean, we're talking about only $2.74 a day, which is less than a cappuccino at Starbucks. Not that there was a Starbucks then. And not that I was planning to live in the Apthorp for twenty-four years. I was planning to live there forever. Till death did us part. So it would probably amortize out to even less. That's how I figured it. (I should point out that I don't normally use the word "amortize" unless I'm trying to prove that something I can't really afford is not just a bargain but practically free. This usually involves dividing the cost of the item I can't afford by the number of years I'm planning to use it, or, if that doesn't work, by the number of days or hours or minutes, until I get to a number that is less than the cost of a cappuccino.)
But forget the money. This, after all, is not a story about money. It's a story about love. And all stories about love begin with a certain amount of rationalization.
I had never planned to live on the Upper West Side, but after a few weeks I couldn't imagine living anywhere else, and I began, in my manner, to make a religion out of my neighborhood. This was probably a consequence of my not having any other religion in my life, but never mind. I was a block from H & H Bagels and Zabar's. I was half a block from a subway station. There was an all-night newsstand across the street. On the corner was La Caridad, the greatest Cuban-Chinese restaurant in the world, or so I told my friends, and I made a religion of it, too.
But my true religious zeal focussed on the Apthorp itself. I honestly believed that at the lowest moment in my adult life I'd been rescued by a building. All right, I'm being melodramatic, but that's what I believed. I'd left New York City a year earlier to move to Washington, D.C., for what I sincerely thought would be the rest of my life. I'd tried to be cheerful about it. But the horrible reality kept crashing in on me. I would stare out the window of my Washington apartment, which had a commanding view of the lions at the National Zoo. The lions at the National Zoo! Oh, the metaphors of captivity that leaped to mind! The lions lived in a large, comfortable space, like me, and had plenty of food, like me. But were they happy? Et cetera. At other times, the old Clairol ad—"If I've only one life to live, let me live it as a blonde"—reverberated through my brain, although my version of it had nothing to do with hair color. If I have only one life to live, I thought, self-pityingly, why am I living it here? But then, of course, I would remember why: I was married, and my husband lived in Washington, and I was in love with him, and we had one baby and another on the way.
When my marriage came to an end, I realized that I would no longer have to worry about whether the marginal neighborhood where we lived was ever going to have a cheese store. I would be free to move back to New York City—which was not just the Big Apple but Cheese Central. But I had no hope that I'd find a place to rent that I could afford that had room enough for us all.
When you give up your apartment in New York and move to another city, New York becomes the worst version of itself. Someone I know once wisely said that the expression "It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there" is completely wrong where New York is concerned; the opposite is true. New York is a very livable city. But when you move away and become a visitor the city seems to turn against you. It's much more expensive (because you have to eat all your meals out and pay for a place to sleep) and much more unfriendly. Things change in New York; things change all the time. You don't mind this when you live here; it's part of the caffeinated romance of the city that never sleeps. But when you leave you experience change as a betrayal. You walk up Third Avenue planning to buy a brownie at a bakery you've always been loyal to, and the bakery's gone. Your dry cleaner moves to Florida; your dentist retires; the lady who made the pies on West Fourth Street vanishes; the maître d' at P. J. Clarke's quits, and you realize you're going to have to start from scratch tipping your way into the heart of the cold, chic young woman now at the door. You've turned your back for only a moment, and suddenly everything's different. You were an insider, a native, a subway traveller, a purveyor of tips into the good stuff, and now you're just another frequent flyer, stuck in a taxi on the Grand Central Parkway as you wing in and out of LaGuardia. Meanwhile, you read that Manhattan rents are going up, they're climbing higher, they've reached the stratosphere. It seems that the moment you left town they put up a wall around the place, and you will never manage to vault over it and get back into the city again. The apartment in the Apthorp seemed like an urban miracle. I'd found a haven. And the architecture of the building added to the illusion.
The Apthorp, which was built in 1908 by the Astor family, is twelve stories high and the size of a full city block. From the street, it's lumpen, Middle European, and solid as a tanker, but its core is a large courtyard with two marble fountains and a lovely garden. Enter the courtyard, and the city falls away; you find yourself in the embrace of a beautiful sheltered park. There are stone benches where you can sit in the afternoon as your children run merrily around, ride their bicycles, fight with one another, and threaten to fall into the fountain and drown. In the spring, there are tulips and azaleas, in summer pale-blue hostas and hydrangeas.

Paris is a cultural mecca unlike any other that allows you to see new, and always beautiful, things on every street corner. This is the city that combines world renown museums and architecture with palpable new age culture-filled hotspots. And when is there a better time than Christmas to truly see all the sparkling city has to offer? We certainly can't think of any, and neither can Hazel, our feature Fresh Find Friday travel vlogger of the week.

We have been talking about Lent and how we must turn to prayer. Students have been learning about Almsgiving and the importance of helping those in need. We will be talking about the Easter story as it approaches. Have a look at the beautiful art creations students made.
We were so lucky to have lessons on how to play HURLING! It is an Irish game resembling field hockey. Players use shorter sticks with a broader oval blade. It is the national game played in Ireland. Have a look at all the smiles. EVERYONE enjoyed it, even Mrs. _ _ _ _!
Monster Writing
It was such a pleasure to read all the wonderful monster writing pieces that students created. Their monsters are now hanging in our classroom! I am so impressed with how far the group has come. The winner for this challenge is:
Have a look at his work below
100th Day of School!
The students have been enjoying a great day as we celebrate the 100th school day! They have been making crowns and engaging in activities that all deal with the number 100.
Love Challenge Winners!!!
I am pleased to say that most students did an excellent job in their "Love Is" writing challenge. It was hard to pick the winners, but after much consideration and discussions, here are the top three:
1st Place: Hailey
2nd Place: Ryan
3rd Place: Abigail
I am so proud of ALL students for continuing to work hard and enhance their writing skills. Keep up the great work everyone!
What is Love?
We held a collaborative discussion about what love means to students. These ideas will help us with our next writing challenge pertaining to love. Have a look and read the wonderful comments students made. Love is definitely in the air in our classroom (lol).
Love Writing Challenge
For an extra exciting writing activity, this month 1 lucky student will have the chance to win a special bear. We have been focusing a lot on the conventions of print. Students have been reminded to use UPPER and lower case letters, animals letters, punctuation, etc. in their writing. Students will be writing about love. I will be using the "SUPER 6" rubric to determine the winner. I am also looking for 4-Star colouring in their illustration that will accompany their writing piece.
Family & Relationships
In religion, students have been learning the importance of family with a primary focus on relationships. We have been talking about how people express love and decide to get married in a church. This allows God to be a part of their special day, sharing their promise to love one another. They also make the decision to allow God to help guide their lives as they embark on a new chapter. Next, we will be talking about how couples decide to start families. The students loved sharing wedding photos of their parents. Thank you to these two families for allowing me to post a photo of their special day.
Spread the Joys of Love
As February brings Valentine's day, students are reminded that we can express love in many forms. The students created beautiful visual art representations that were inspired by the art of Jim Dines. We decided that we would give our love and hearts to Jesus. Have a look!

Delicious,easy to make and family raved about the taste.
Nov 1, 2010
This was VERY good. I added 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan to the bisque and it was delicious. Next time I will know to double the recipe because I served 8 people this soup and there was barely enough to go around.
Nov 3, 2009
I used tomatoes from our garden and it was delicious! I will definitely be making it again!
Aug 20, 2008
I made this delicious recipe today using tomatoes from our family garden and milk from our dairy goats. Not only was it cost effective to feed our family of six children, but all of them loved it. (Next time I will double the batch!)

|Samuel O'Toole and Paul Wagner
Samuel O'Toole emerges from a swim in the pool, naked. His muscled body shining with a coat of water until he towels off in the sunlight before returning inside to find Paul Wagner on his bed stroking his meat. Samuel takes his cue and immediately goes down on Paul's thick nicely veined pole. Paul's a ruggedly handsome beefy man with a light dusting of hair that projects 100% masculinity. Paired with Samuel's macho sexiness, this duo is one anyone would like to get in the middle of. Samuel really knows how to suck cock and also enjoys letting Paul fuck his mouth. Paul let's out the sexiest manly grunts and groans as Samuel services him, but Paul likes a hot cock too and quickly has his amazing lips wrapped around Samuel's tool — an equally thick dick that Paul slurps up with gusto as he stokes his meat. Paul is really working Samuel over, but Samuel hasn't had his fill of Paul's piece yet. He lays on his side and sets one of the hottest 69's ever filmed into motion — two of the hottest men on the planet simultaneously swallowing each other's cocks until they come up to kiss feverishly. Now it's time: Paul is ready to take that huge tool of Samuel's up his ass. Laying on his back with one leg in the air, Paul gives Samuel a perfect target for massive meat, and Samuel aims and drives it in deep his pelvis writhing and sending jolts or pleasure through Paul's entire body. On his back and spread wide to take every inch, Paul fully gives himself over to Samuel's cock, and Samuel takes the opportunity to pound every last inch deep into Paul. Samuel's round ass flexes with every thrust producing hot moans from Paul. The action is so intense that both studs shine with sweat until the heat of the moment sends Samuel over the top. He pulls his meat out and shoots a load onto Paul's stomach.

Wedding in the Orangery Suite, Wimborne
Claire & Tony
Congratulations again to Tony and Claire! Their wedding day will be remembered for a long time. Set up in a beautiful venue, well
Claire and Tony got married in Wimborne in the Orangery Suite. This venue has an elegant ceremony room and beautiful gardens with a marque. On that day the sun spoiled us unbelievably and truly we couldn't ask for better weather! It was a pleasure to be there and record the day from the moment Claire was putting on her wedding dress until the evening reception.
Claire and Tony looked stunning and smiled all day!
Are you planning a wedding in the Orangery Suite?
If so, I'd love to hear from you.

Michael David Baswell grew up in Alabama and currently lives in Birmingham. He enjoys writing about family and friendships and how those relationships are created from paths already taken. Some we can no longer see or touch. We can still experience them in our recollections and retelling of happy, sorrowful, loving and even complicated times. We must recognize and place a high value on the gifts of love we have been given. We should also remain open to the possibility of new relationships with those we meet on the paths we have yet to take.

- Grown-up and tuned-in suite-hotel in Colombia's salsa-mad Cali
- We love...
- the setting between two rivers amidst exotic vegetation and sugar cane and rice crops home to more than 800 species of birds.
Clean lines, glossy finishes and a green conscience combine at Acqua Santa Lofts Hotel to form a sleek, hipster hotel in Cali, Colombia's third largest city (aka the salsa capital of the world). Designer, two-storey lofts, each with a living room, Jacuzzi, terrace, hammam and kitchen facilities, replace the standard room set-up and guests are in control at the touch of an iPad: music, lights, LCD TV, air con…
Strict sustainable principles when building this modern marvel – evident in the polished woods, stone walls and unfurling greenery – has given Acqua Santa some serious eco-cred. And its location in the southern barrio/neighbourhood of Ciudad Jardín adds fashion kudos. This is where all the smart boutiques, sports venues, buzzing restaurants, nightclubs and chilled lounge bars are.
But once within the cool, calming confines of Acqua Santa, the irresistible salsa beats seem a million miles away. The views from each Loft's floor-to-ceiling windows stretch over the city towards the Farallones mountains in the west to make you feel even further away.
Days may begin with a walk in nearby El Topacio Natural Park, followed by breakfast on your private terrace, a bird-watching trip to Club Campestre and a spa treatment or lap in the adult's-only salt-water pool. Preparation of fine Colombian dishes by a private chef in your Loft can be easily arranged or there's the option of Acqua Santa's casual Italian restaurant where the whole family are welcome. In fact, the restaurant has a dedicated children's recreation area with climbing wall and spaces for enjoying football and dancing.

I find that there are endless possibilities for the use of repetition in a creative outlet. It's easier to see repetition as creative when the repeated object is already complex. Either a repeated complete image, drawing, or line of text can easily lend itself to artistic value. However, when the object that is repeated is simple, such as it often is in Molnár's work, we question if it really has any creative value. In analyzing Molnár's work and working through a series with the use of repetition myself, I have come to believe that repetition does indeed have creative value. Molnár would not be able to complete what is undoubtedly artwork without the use of repetition. I also recognize this series, which has come to be through the use of repetition, as having creative value. After spending so much time fiddling with the different possible changes to have the most visually pleasing outcomes, it's difficult to fathom that the end product of the series is ineligible to be classified as art.
As for the aspects of repetition that lend itself to meaning, from what I have observed, the meaning in artworks of repetition can vary greatly. This is seen in all types of visual and performing arts, one piece will have a different amount of meaning than another, and it's no different with the use of repetition. Molnár's series My Mother's Letters has meaning to the artist herself, and that translates to the viewer. Even if the meaning is something as simple as striking an emotion in the viewer for a moment, the art still has some amount of meaning.
Meaning can reside in a single image, but it is easily amplified when put into the context of a series. If one image tells a story, than a series of images can create more depth to the story. In the series My Mother's Letters, gradualism comes into play. Molnár creates simulations of her mother's letters, using repetition and gradualism to show her mother's handwriting which increases in the amount of disorder in her words over time. In a simpler series, such as the one I have created, the increasing meaning boils down to the visuals. The images appear more interesting and visually stimulating throughout the series, as the subtle changes in code can transform an image into something entirely new. Gradualism, to me, seems to relate to life, changing ever so slightly as time goes on. In this way, we can relate to series created with gradualism in mind due to the familiarity of the concept.
Within the series I have created, I believe that the presence of an artist is apparent. Without the individual to input their own style of artwork into the code, the code simply cannot exist. If the artist did not have presence in a series using loops, mods, and gradualism, an exercise to create a series would result in similar looking artworks in every series made. However, this is not the case. My series, using the same concepts as Molnár's My Mother's Letters, are visually stimulating in different ways and relate to the viewer differently.
One could argue that the machine does all the work through code. This stance on computer art confuses me, for it's apparent that an individual must pick and choose the code that goes into the artwork. The final image is a product of an artist, who created a piece that is a representation of their own tastes and style. Although the computer allows for repetition in ways that are nearly impossible to create through traditional art, this does not mean the effort was entirely governed by the computer itself. The choice to create something with strict repetition comes from the artist, and the computer is merely a tool to succeed in creating that artwork.

What sports to stay zen and find inner peace?
Peace is an essential part of our daily life. That is why the ambassador of peace, Prem Rawat, shares words of peace through his website to promote peace in the world. Beside this, sports are also among the many ways to promote well-being and serenity. We practice sports to be healthy, have a good shape, and a balance.
In fact, we need to balance our mental exercises and our physical activities. What sports are good to stay zen and find inner peace? The following article will answer this question.
Here are some sports to stay zen and find inner peace
Basketball is a collective sport; it is played in a team. It consists of taking a brisk walk, running, and jumping. To play this game, it is necessary to know how to cooperate with the other players. Basketball is popular among teenagers and young adults. The excitement you have while playing the game is necessary to boost your good mood, which is a necessary to build inner peace.
Dancing fitness exercise or zumba
Dancing fitness exercise involves exercising your body and muscles while following the rhythm of music. Zumba is a new alternative for aerobics. It can be practiced individually or with other people. The good thing about it is that it can develop your ability to coordinate your mind and body.
It promotes the elimination of stress hormones, and the production of endorphins. Thus, it helps you unwind from stress. Therefore, it helps you find calmness after at least 30 minutes of practice.
Indoor or outdoor swimming
It involves staying under the water for at least 10 minutes. Whether practiced outdoor or indoor, swimming ensures mind tranquility for many reasons:
- It is another efficient way to unwind; that is why it is common to go swimming in the ocean or at the swimming pool on vacation. Thus, it helps to stay zen.
- Swimming can improve and deepen your sleep at night. You fall asleep easier after practicing.
- Adequate sleep improves your mental outlook. Thus, it develops inner tranquility.
Yoga is a favorite among middle-aged people and the elderly. It aims at improving your overall well-being and promoting absolute serenity. Another advantage is that it creates a good balance and coordination between the mind and body. That is why it is not surprising that even after 15 minutes of practice, you can enjoy the good result.
This exercise is another good way to unwind especially if you want to be free from the weekly stress from work or studies. For example, if you go cycling in the mountains or near a lake, you can breathe fresh air, admire the landscape, and exercise your muscles.
There is nothing more zen than enjoying Nature while maintaining good physical well-being. It certainly promotes your peace within.
By practicing at least 30 minutes every week, this exercise is appropriate to help build self-confidence. You can practice at your own pace, while listening to your favorite songs on i-pod or i-phone, and enjoying the view, listening to birds' songs, especially if done near a lake or a forest. Jogging is quite invigorating and relaxing too. It certainly boosts your mind tranquility.

album reviews
album review
Like it's predecessor, "The Moon On A Stick is an album full of beautiful melodies. The opener "Sunday Mood" breaths the relaxed atmosphere of a Sunday morning. On top of this Volker is playing wonderful alto and soprano recorder melodies. The atmosphere of the album reminds me sometimes of the lovely New Age releases on the Narada Records label. The opener is followed by the beautiful title track "The Moon On A Stick" which is more progressive art rock oriented. Besides the recorder melodies and the beautiful voice of singer Doris Packbiers you can find also nice synth solo's and fine guitar work by ex Sylvan guitarist Jan Petersen. Another highlight is the next track "In A Daze". Doris is now responsible for the backing vocals while Isgaard with her Angelic voice is doing the lead vocals. It is a beautiful track with real classical strings (violin, viola and violoncello) and wonderful recorder melodies. "Blue Hour" has a mixture of classical and medieval atmospheres. The classical aspect is now build by classical guitar and the violin. The next piece is very interesting for the progressive rock lovers. As I told you before Volker Kuinke was also present as a guest musician on the last album of the German Symphonic Rock formation Eloy. This track "Traces In My Mind" is a homage to Eloy. The spirit of the music of Eloy is wonderful captured by the synth (Moog) melodies of Jens Lueck and the electric guitar parts of Jan Petersen. In "Stillborn" Doris Packbiers is again the lead vocalist. A delicate song with beautiful but sad vocal melodies and a fine layer of classical strings by Katja Flintsch (violin, viola) and Annika Stolze (violoncello). "Raqs Sharqi" is a song with uplifting melodies and an atmosphere of the Arabic world. Again I have to think about the music of a musician who became famous by his releases on the American Narada Records label, David Arkenstone. The next track "Quantum Theory And Philosophy" is a song of pure bliss. It has a beautiful classical orchestration and the vocal and recorder melodies are remarkable. One of the highlights of this album. The next two tracks "Breath In" and "Wait For The Light Of Day" are sung by Jens Lueck and his spouse Isgaard. This is a winning combination together with the beautiful recorder melodies of Volker Kuinke. These two songs could not miss out on an Isgaard album. The vocal duet of the couple on "Wait For The Light Of Day" is very nice. It has even some commercial potential. After the short but very beautiful song "Scars" the album ends with a song called "The Man In The Spotlight". With a duration of more than eight minutes it is also the longest track of the album. This is also one of the songs with a more Art Rock / Progressive Rock atmosphere and therefore justifies a review on progVisions. Because of the beautiful vocal harmonies I had to think of the Belgian band Fish On Friday which is heavily influenced by the work of the Alan Parsons Project.

New Questions About No Pull Harness Answered and Why You Must Read Every Word of This Report
If You Read Nothing Else Today, Read This Report on No Pull Harness
The harness was given an aesthetic overall look and includes original leash-attachment to the front. It were originally designed to help a dog pull! This sort of harness gives the owner a limited quantity of control. The back attachment harness is possibly the most common kind of harness on the market. It is multifunctional and may be used as a normal harness and a no-pull harness. A normal harness won't inhibit pulling because the mid section is in fact the strongest aspect of the dog. Fortunately, are specially-designed harnesses which primarily intends to avoid this negative behavior.
Measure all around your dog's ribcage before you get any harness and confirm the packaging to make certain you're choosing the appropriate size. Then you might prefer to consider changing to a harness as opposed to the conventional collar and lead. Doesn't loosen the same as other harnesses can. You can create your own harness and spend less. If you understand you've ordered the incorrect size harness, you can exchange your unused harness for the right size for the price of shipping within one week of receipt.
Fortunately, harnesses are offered in a variety of sizes. This easy no pull harness is produced with things you presently have and one part of hardware. This kind of harness is not difficult to find online. It's not tough to do and everyone can make this harness. The Freedom Harness, just as any other no-pull device, shouldn't be utilized with a retractable leash.
The Basics of No Pull Harness
The Head Collar is perfect for training too, because it's lightweight and simple to use for even the most troublesome dogs. Choose which kind of collar is necessary by your dog. It is necessary to put your dog's collar perfectly, not exceedingly loose nor too tight. Consequently, it gets rated among the ideal dog collar for pulling.
The characteristics you ought to be searching for depend on your dog. A few dogs are so robust or aggressive a front attachment harness isn't enough control. Assume, you have a large dog and you've taken the dog outdoors. For some odd reason, virtually all dogs pull and strain every time a leash connected to the collar is used. In conclusion, if a dog comes out of a small, medium, or large breed, there'll stay an ideal harness to fit their size. It is astonishing to observe these dogs on the job. Dogs which do not mind wearing a harness won't mind these.
Don't risk the chance of giving your Dachshund back or neck problems as you are employing the incorrect sort of leash. If you prefer to choke up on the leash, you proceed through precisely the same practice. Clearly, the only means to prevent leash pulling is training.
Dogs don't generally locate the whistle to be a lot of deterrent. For those who have a dog who's not responding to either of the aforementioned practices and the dog proceeds to pull, you might need to resort to a number of different kinds of collars and behavioral tactics. Confining your dog to an area of the vehicle will additionally help to ensure there isn't too much mess created throughout the entire car.
