Artists and cultural operators in Gaziantep come together for educational programs and meetings in order to strengthen the cultural milieu of the city and ensure the sustainability of this atmosphere. The program, initiated last year with Anadolu Kültür, aims to empower artists and support cultural events. The project's objective is that arts and culture can encourage new ways of working together to create a more enriching, vibrant and inclusive cultural environment. 'Social Change and Arts' is an important example of how creative practices play an active and effective role in social issues.
The program consists of three workshops: Art and Culture for Social Change; Culture Management; and Visual Narrative Development. The Art and Culture for Social Change Workshop is designed to increase the knowledge of different aspects and methods of art, present critical approaches, develop creative perspectives, and contribute to the creation of more socially inclusive art productions. The workshop, held 26–29 April, addresses a variety of social issues such as migration, cultural encounters, collective memory and identity. The Culture Management Workshop, on 6–7 June, aims to strengthen participants' knowledge, competence and skills to manage artistic and cultural projects. Five filmmakers and five photographers meet in Gaziantep for two days at the Visual Narrative Development Workshop in July 2019.

Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954)
2012-01-11 10:05:54
The U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education, declaring state-mandated school segregation unconstitutional, was perhaps the Court's most important decision of the twentieth century. Prior to the Brown decision, seventeen states (including all eleven states of the old Confederacy) and the District of Columbia either permitted or required racial segregation in public schools. Although such segregation relegated black children to poorly funded separate schools and imposed on them the stigma of second-class Citizenship, many states were determined not to allow black children to attend school with whites.
Since the 1930s, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) had brought a number of lawsuits challenging various aspects of racial segregation in education. Early lawsuits included challenges to the exclusion of blacks from white state university graduate and professional schools. After the Supreme Court in 1950 held in Sweatt v. Painter (1950) that the exclusion of black students from the University of Texas Law School (requiring them to attend a fledgling racially separate law school) violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the NAACP brought a number of lawsuits challenging racial segregation in elementary and secondary schools. Eventually, five of these suits—filed in Delaware, Kansas, South Carolina, Virginia, and the District of Columbia—were accepted for review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court in a unanimous decision declared state-mandated school segregation unconstitutional. The unanimity was hardly a foregone conclusion. After oral argument in the cases in 1952, the Court was sharply divided and scheduled reargument for 1953. In the meantime, Chief Justice Frederick Vinson died; his replacement, Earl Warren, worked skillfully and successfully to build unanimous support for a decision striking down segregation as violating the equal protection clause.
In its decision, the Court concluded that relegating black children to racially separate schools ''solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.'' Quoting from the district court in the Kansas case, the Supreme Court elaborated: '''Segregation of white and colored children in public schools has a detrimental effect upon the colored children. The impact is greater when it has the sanction of the law; for the policy of separating the races is usually interpreted as denoting the inferiority of the negro group . . . . Segregation with the sanction of law, therefore, has a tendency to [retard] the educational and mental development of negro children and to deprive them of some of the benefits they would receive in a [racially] integrated school system.'''
In issuing its landmark decision, the Court postponed for one year the question of remedy. The Court heard argument on the remedy issue and on May 31, 1955, issued a second decision in the case, a decision that came to be known as ''Brown II.'' In this second decision, the Court directed lower courts to supervise the desegregation of southern school districts with ''all deliberate speed''—a directive that some white Southerners interpreted as signaling the Court's willingness to tolerate some delay.
The Brown decisions did not lead to the immediate desegregation of southern school systems. Although a few communities did desegregate their schools in a token fashion within the next few years, most southern school districts refused to take any action. By the fall of 1957, only 0.15 percent of black children in the eleven states of the old Confederacy attended school with whites. Even this extraordinarily modest level of school desegregation provoked intense controversy and sometimes led to violence. For example, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus caused a national crisis when he ordered the Arkansas National Guard to bar nine black students from desegregating Central High School in Little Rock in 1957. President Dwight Eisenhower was eventually forced to deploy federal troops to defuse the Little Rock crisis. Southern resistance would continue. On the tenth anniversary of the first Brown decision—May 1964—only about 1.2 percent of Southern black children attended school with white children, and in a few states, such as Mississippi, desegregation had not even begun. In the meantime, the Supreme Court, with a few exceptions, remained largely silent on the issue of enforcing the desegregation mandate of Brown.
After Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which included a fund withholding provision for entities (such as southern school districts) that engaged in racial discrimination, the pace of desegregation quickened. In 1965, the Office of Education of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) issued a set of guidelines defining for school officials minimum desegregation standards that must be satisfied in order to retain federal funding. These guidelines, coupled with the threat of losing federal funds, contributed to an increase in school desegregation. Moreover, lower federal courts during the late 1960s began to insist that southern school districts had an affirmative duty to increase desegregation levels. In a series of decisions in the late 1960s and early 1970s, culminating in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education (1971), the U.S. Supreme Court reentered the fray and insisted on significant desegregation. In the Swann decision, the Court legitimated the use of extensive school busing as a desegregation remedy, a decision that had an immediate and profound effect on desegregation levels across the South and in several northern and western cities as well.
Although Brown did not lead to the immediate desegregation of southern schools, it did contribute to a renewed insistence among many blacks that racial segregation was morally and legally wrong and should be opposed. While the full impact of Brown would not be felt until after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the decision was nevertheless a crucial event in the development of civil rights in American society. Moreover, Brown helped legitimate the notion that it is sometimes appropriate for courts to step in and overrule legislative bodies that have enacted laws that serve to harm racial and ethnic minorities.

Spero Lucem is a Swiss luxury watch and accessory brand founded by Yvan Arpa, the watch making expert, visionary and entrepreneur who lead and propelled some well known Swiss watch brands such as Romain Jerome, Artya and Black Belt Watch. Inspiration of this new watch brand is the City of Geneva, the world capital of horology industry. The brand is already creating waves in the industry with some world firsts such as Tourbillon Minute Repeater with crazy hands, Functional watch gear trains at the heart of a writing instrument and the Functional watch gear trains embedded in a knife.
Inspiration: Geneva, the ultimate reference
The smallest of the world's great capitals is renowned well beyond Swiss borders. As an historical crossroads and an ideal location for exhibitions, Geneva now shines more brightly than ever thanks to its role as the watch industry's global epicenter. It has taken until 2013 for a brand, Spero Lucem, to decide to inscribe Geneva and its fundamentals within its genetic heritage. This Fine Watchmaking label is reaching well beyond merely placing a prestigious name on a dial. It is not merely laying claim to a geographically circumscribed form of excellence or to a favourable terminology.
For Spero Lucem, Geneva is its very reason for being, its point of reference and its home. Everything about it is inspired by the city, including its own name taken from Geneva's famous motto "Post Tenebras Lux" which appears on its municipal coat-of-arms as well as on various public monuments. In actual fact, the motto in full should read "Post Tenebras Spero Lucem". It is a Latin translation of a biblical phrase from the Old Testament Book of Job (Chapter XVII, verse 12). "Noctem verturunt in diem, et rursum POST TENEBRAS SPERO LUCEM". It means "They have turned night into day, and I hope for the light after darkness". According to the meaning of the full passage, it can also be translated "After calamity, I aspire to happiness".
In Geneva, the age-old values of craftsmanship have been raised to the rank of an existential quest. The original values of artistic crafts and their precious traditional practices have been meticulously perpetuated while simultaneously cultivating legitimate curiosity for scientific and industrial innovation.
These values owe a great deal to the traditions of hospitality and tolerance that were reinvigorated almost 500 years ago by a major historical episode: the Reformation, which was officially adopted in Geneva in 1536. This spiritual movement, embodied by Jean Calvin (1509-1564) and imbued with a renewed sense of sacredness, represented a clean break with the politico-religious powers of the time. It overturned the structure of authority and instated a whole new order. Geneva thus welcomed those fleeing from persecution, including countless talents and artisans who brought their skills and expertise with them.
To this day, the City still owes its prosperity to this patchwork of cultures and to this spirit of openness towards the world; some refer to Geneva's economic fabric as "an economy of assemblages", a term especially well suited to watchmaking – and a philosophy forever ingrained in the signature values of the Spero Lucem watch brand.
The Fundamentals
By banishing luxury and ostentation, the Reformation fostered the development of watchmaking. Goldsmiths were obliged to find new avenues through which to express their skills and the asylum granted to a number of artisans and craftspeople persecuted in France for their religious beliefs contributed to the recognition of the various watchmaking trades. The first known exponent of this craft who appears in official records as of 1574 was a watchmaker from Burgundy named Charles Cusin.
Spero Lucem is a brand whose vocation is to pay tribute to Geneva and its fundamentals. More than just an anthem of praise to the Calvinist city, its enigmatic and historical name reflects a tradition and a history that remain an integral part of daily life. These are fundamentals to which Swiss watchmaking in its purest original sense owes a substantial part of its identity. Spero Lucem is thus shaping its creative interpretations in complete harmony with Geneva's watchmaking traditions, through developing its innovative, finely crafted movements as well as its astonishing 'non-watch' alternatives.
Brand Logo
While the name Spero Lucem is inspired by Geneva's coat-of-arms and its original meaning, its logo faithfully reproduces several of its extremely meaningful details in black and gold. To the great satisfaction of devotees and purists, it is the very emblem of Geneva that represented the starting point for the Spero Lucem logo: the tail of the imperial eagle enthroned on the official insignia opposite the famous keys, against a Swiss-red background.
The eagle with its parabolic force is a call to victory and to taking flight towards the much hoped-for light. It embodies the positive attitude of creative thrusts, the mastery of take-offs and soaring flight, playing with hot and cold air currents. Meanwhile, the key of which the unlocking end points skyward, speaks of pastoral jurisdiction and of opening doors in an era when the City was surrounded by imposing fortifications. It illustrates the access to knowledge long held captive and exclusively reserved for the elite. A closer look reveals that the head of this key comprises a cross brimming with metaphors: encounters, exchanges of knowledge and skills, crossroads of differences, free passage… and Swissness.
The imperial eagle and the Geneva key, both faithful representations of the City of Calvin, harbour values that are far more intense than any other kind of symbols, derived from obscure historical events or filled with crusaders' battles and other bellicose episodes. Spero Lucem instead opts for luminous values based on a combination of humanity and iron-clad determination. The protective, majestic eagle and the liberating, inspirational key together herald Spero Lucem's grand entrance on the Fine Watchmaking stage; its inventiveness in the field of horological complications; its mastery of the most accomplished mechanisms; as well as its innovative spirit giving rise to unprecedented blends of technical developments.
Spero Lucem hallmark
Surrounded by the stylised flamboyance of the feathers adorning Geneva's imperial eagle and framing the outline of a redesigned emblem bearing the letters SL and the famous pastoral key, the Spero Lucem hallmark gives a sense of relief and depth to the chosen surfaces of specific components.
Origins of the brand
Located in the Eaux-Vives district, a stone's throw from Lake Geneva and the famous Jet d'eau, another symbol of the city's international renown, the Spero Lucem brand has been created through a rare convergence of horological competencies and a shared love of fine craftsmanship.
It all began with a Geneva-based manufacturer Yvan Arpa, CEO of Spero Lucem, decided to kick off the adventure of this benchmark brand by acquiring a precious facility brimming with expertise and equipped with machines operated by passionate enthusiasts. The Spero Lucem story thus began with the acquisition of SC2 SA, located on the Rue du Clos in Geneva, a small but well-reputed Geneva-based watch manufacturer specialising in the development and production of prototypes and acknowledged for its mastery in the field of high-end watch exteriors and gemsetting.
Building on 25 years of experience, SC2 produces creative, technical and aesthetic treasures for a prestigious customer base composed of world-famous Swiss Fine Watchmaking brands. It is grounded on a bedrock of expertise in the art of gemsetting and on a thorough knowledge of precious stones, teamed with modern technologies.
SC2 gives shape to concepts by meticulous machining of prototypes providing a concrete expression that may lead to production in small and medium-sized series. Entirely at ease in the field of watch exteriors, it also produces various small parts for mechanical watch movements such as plates, bridges and oscillating weights. It painstakingly machines all shapes and sizes of watchcases, dials, hands, bracelets and buckles. In the field of jewellery, it has come to specialise in exceptional creations, in gemsetting delivering high added value, and particularly in invisible setting.
About Yvan Arpa, CEO, Spero Lucem
He secretly dreamed of orchestrating a sincere tribute to his city. Known for having – much as in the time of the Reformation – overturned certain conventions to the point of being occasionally perceived as a watchmaking revolutionary, Yvan Arpa is far more than just an exceptional creative force and a high-network individual skilled in attracting media coverage. Above all else, he remains deeply awed by the purest watchmaking skills.
The territory of a traditional Geneva-based brand, built on references firmly founded on signature classicism, opens up whole new vistas for this maverick, multifaceted personality. A talented designer, prolific creative and one-man think tank, Yvan Arpa fell deeply in love with this domain where no one expected to find him.
At a time when research and development are constantly generating new techniques and when technological progress regularly sparks innovative processes, the Spero Lucem brand created by Yvan Arpa offers him a whole new role. One that involve expressing his thirst for authenticity and his respect for benchmark historical watchmaking, and doing so in a judicious and refined manner.

Spero Lucem has chosen one of them, the great-grandson of a watchmaker named Louis Marc Golay LeCoultre (1869-1929), to oversee the development of its exceptional calibres. For 25 years, after earning his Swiss Federal Certificate of Capacity as a Watchmaker-Repairer, Pierre-Laurent Favre exercised his talents in developing stellar horological complications within Geneva's most prestigious watch Manufacture, Patek Philippe. From 2003 onwards, he developed their Fine Watchmaking department. In 2010, he founded an entity entirely dedicated to the finest expression of horological arts in the Eaux-Vives district of Geneva. Known as a top-rate "motorist" (a watch industry term for movement makers often supplying prestigious brands), he is particularly acclaimed for the reliability of his products, whether tourbillons or other complex mechanisms. Pierre-Laurent Favre is now dedicating his natural curiosity and his passionate inventiveness to supporting the watchmakers of Spero Lucem.
Yvan Arpa created for Spero Lucem a world première stemming from an unusual alliance between major, well mastered and reliable complications – the tourbillon and the minute repeater – along with a playful innovation of which the apparent visual simplicity is matched by the additional complexity of the mechanism. Perfectly mirroring the visual identity stemming from the key featured in Geneva's coat-of-arms, Spero Lucem was born from the convergence of brilliant and complementary career paths. A union of cutting-edge knowledge stemming from all sectors required for the development, production, fine-tuning and international marketing of exceptional timepieces destined for the ages.
– La Cllémence – Tourbillon Minute-Repeater with Crazy Hands
– La Jonction – "Tourbillon Jumping hours Retrograde minutes"
– Avenue du Mail – Geneva Imperial Eagle Pen
– Boulevard des Tranchées – Letter Opener Knife
– Lux Fuit – Jewellery Line
Declaring unswerving allegiance to Geneva, the Spero Lucem brand embodies the quintessence of benchmark Swiss horology, imbued with excellence, innovation and audacity. Dedicated to the original values of these skills so closely bound up with the city that inspired its name, the brand lays claim to an ultimate level of finishing; a rare degree of mastery in the field of horological complications; a philosophy based on a return to fundamentals; as well as several world firsts.
Spero Lucem, a unique and concrete tribute to the history of Geneva, is established in a truly authentic location in the Eaux-Vives district, 300 metres from the famous Jet d'eau, another symbol of the "City of assemblies" aspiring towards the light… Spero Lucem.

Insurance Underwriter Vs. Insurance Agent Salary
The insurance industry protects its policyholders from large, unpredictable expenses by paying for sudden damage and liability in exchange for regular monthly payments. It can cover real estate, personal possessions, automobiles, health and death. Both underwriters and agents are necessary for insured customers. Their salaries differ by job title, employer and location.
Insurance agents earned a mean $29.06 per hour or $60,440 per year as of May 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The lowest-earning 10 percent averaged $12.56 per hour, while the highest-earning 10 percent received $54.78 per hour or $113,930 per year. Agents sell life, property, automotive, health and casualty insurance to clients. They can look forward to job growth of 22 percent from 2010 to 2020, according to the BLS. Underwriters evaluate the degree of risk for insurance and decide whether to accept applications. They averaged $32.46 per hour or $67,520 per year, with a low of $18.14 per hour or $37,720 per year and a high of $51.67 per hour or $107,460 per year. Their job-growth rate for the decade starting in 2010 is expected to approach 6 percent.
The largest employers of agents in 2011 were insurance agencies and brokerages, which included agents who worked for themselves. They accounted for more than 70 percent of the total 327,780 positions and paid a mean of $29.18 per hour or $60,690 per year. The top-paying employers were services for management, scientific and technical consulting. They averaged $45.59 per hour or $94,830 per year. The biggest employers of underwriters were the insurance carriers who provide insurance policies. With more than 70 percent of the total 92,840 jobs, they paid a mean of $32.91 per hour or $68,460 per year. The highest pay for the positions belonged to other financial-investment activities such as portfolio management. Mean wages in this area ran $39.22 per hour or $81,580 per year.
The state with the best employment for agents in 2011 was Florida with more than 11 percent of the jobs and mean wages at $59,440 per year. The state with the best-paying employer was Massachusetts with mean salaries of $36.88 per hour or $76,720 per year. For underwriters, the state with the most job opportunities was New York with almost 10 percent of positions. Average salaries were $38.74 per hour or $80,580 per year. The highest pay was in Connecticut, with a mean wage of $40.16 per hour or $83,530 per year.
Metro Areas
The city with the highest-paid agents was San Francisco, where a high cost of living pushed average wages to $52.09 per hour or $108,350 per year, according to the BLS. For underwriters, New York City showed the highest number of job opportunities, with 5 percent of the total positions nationwide and mean wages of $41.92 per hour or $87,200 per year. The best pay was in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with mean wages of $43.81 per hour $91,130. New York City ranked second for pay.

All of your videotapes are handled with care while the video conversion to DVD process and post-production work are underway.

As an additional benefit and at no extra cost, we will edit out those annoying blue screens, very poor video segments and long stretches of nothing—like those moments of forgetting to turn off your camera. Our aim is to provide watchable and entertaining video rather than include useless footage on your newly minted DVD disc(s).

Well it came. And it went. How did that happen?!
I am talking Christmas of course. What else? And why is it that no sooner do we hear the cries of "He's been!*
(As the Middle of the Darling Daughters sagely once remarked: "He always comes...) than it's the Day After Boxing Day and I am cooking Turkey Pilaff. Or, what my family cruelly terms: "Leftovers."
think it's only fair that I take my turn at centre stage in the kitchen today. I have been a proper wash-out for most of Christmas, struggling to keep going as I waged war with the Dreaded Lurgy, armed only with Anadin Extra and assorted grandchildren
to keep my spirits up. You may have missed the blog - if so, my apologies. Though I hope you were far too busy enjoying a Lurgy-Free Yule to notice.
Despite it all, I have any number of highlights to share
- and we still have our Second Christmas, hosted by the Eldest of the Darling Daughters and family, to come. I will restrain myself to relating just a few of the funniest so far.
Christmas Eve at Winter
Wonderland in the historic centre of Cardiff. Here come two likely looking elves, all sticky-out, pointy ears and red, jingle-bells caps, plus a large machine labelled "The Goodometer." The Goodometer, in case you are wondering, is a machine which tests
out, for Santa's benefit, how good you have been in the months leading up to the Big Day. To take the test, all you had to do was to place your palm on the hand-symbol and the machine lit up - Green for Good, Yellow for Questionable, and Red for "Oh, dear
me, no, I'm not sure you will be getting a visit from the Big Fat Man this year."
Six year old Sam and I were fearless. We placed our hands carefully on the spot and both were rewarded with a green
light. Not that either of us had been in any doubt, you understand, but it was good to have our saintlinesss recognised. Even if only by an elf with pointy ears. The Son And Only went next. His behaviour, apparently, has been distinctly questionable.
He put on a brave face but we were pretty sure he was worried. Next it was four year old James's turn. Except that James is far too clever to be caught out by an elf and refused point-blank to be tested. We think he had a horrible suspicion what
the Goodometer would say...
Christmas Day and Mr B and I are unwrapping two identical-looking presents from one of the Sons-In-Law. The presents turn out to be mugs - mine is inscribed "Always
Right" while Mr B's has the motto "Always Wrong" written upon it. This leads to a merry debate among the family as to whether the Son-In-Law has mixed up his labels and given us the wrong mugs. I can see that Mr B and I will be fighting over who gets
to make the coffee in future...
On sitting down for Christmas Dinner, we all wore the Christmas crowns I had made. Mr B and the Son-In-Law both complained bitterly that the crowns hurt their
heads, due to the fact that they (the crowns, not their heads) had been cut out with pinking shears. The Youngest of the Darling Daughters said everyone had to wear their crowns, regardless of pain and discomfort, on account of it being Christmas. She
is A Girl After My Own Heart. I have been asked by at least one faithful reader (that'll be you, Sian) to post a photograph of my famous crowns, so here you can see them modelled, with great dignity, by grandchilden Jack and Hazel.
Then suddenly it was Boxing Day and we were in Panto-land to watch Hazel Bagel in "Jack and the Beanstalk." Regular readers will remember that Hazel's starring roles include not only a villager and a goblin but also, unforgettably,
a burger bun. I don't want to spoil any surprises for anyone who may be about to watch this particular panto for themselves so all I will say is that the scene is a dream sequence involving five dancing cows, plus two halves of what was obviously a burger
bun but could have been a pancake. Or a flat cushion. And something green. Which might have been a lettuce leaf. Or a flattened gherkin. It goes without saying that Hazel was nothing short of superb as a burger bun. She played the part with
real style and panache - you just knew people would be leaving the theatre commenting: "That burger bun will go far..."
Today we're playing games. We started with the Game of Life which had us
all pondering why nobody ever gets divorced or dies, or gets sent to prison in the version of the game we are playing. We do our best to spice it up, by allowing same-sex marriages, for example, but really the Game of Life could definitely be updated
to reflect the grim realities of life. We have decided to write to the makers of the game with a few of our best suggestions...
However there is something to be said for a game which
had all six of us playing ending up as millionaires.
Even if we will all still be eating "Leftovers" for dinner tonight...
lovely and heartwarming - an inspiration to us all x
Love this story told as ever beautifully.x
What a super account of a special event. I loved meeting you last night and seeing your creation come together. I'm so pleased you got so much from the activity
I have broad shoulders x

Brand 11: Billy Jealousy
I started with my husband who says HANDS DOWN his favorite product is the Billy Jealousy Hot Towel Pre-Shave Treatment. This product takes you right back to the barber shop. He uses this product EVERY time he shaves. He loves the fact that it adds a little bit of heat to the same old routine AND....since he has a rather thick, course beard....the heat actually helps to soften his skin and beard up a bit for a much closer and more comfortable shave. I remember when we first brought on the line, one of the guys here in the office put some in my hand and told me to rub my hands together. The heat generated is really impressive and unique. Definitely unlike any product I have ever stumbled across and a keeper in both my household and my father-in-law's.
One of our warehouse guys only uses the Billy Jealousy Three-in-One Body Wash. He says that this is his favorite body wash because it lathers fabulously, moisturizes his skin, AND he uses it as his shaving cream. The bottle lasts him quite a while too and is only $20! It smells oh so manly too....in a good way!
Another staff fave is the Billy Jealousy Sucker Punch Face Scrub. I teased the guys saying they simply like it for the name....sucker punch..hehe! Much to my surprise, the fellas were able to give a great explanation of the product saying that "I guess it exfoliates....just makes my skin feel and look softer." Gotta love a man's explanation for things. This scrub has unique ingredients like Tahitian volcanic black sand, crushed walnut shells, neem extract, white and green tea extracts, and vitamins. This unique combo penetrates the skin to remove dirt and impurities and reveal smooth, softer skin. "Sucker Punch will give you the edge you need to go all the way, champ."
If you have a man who thinks he's too manly to use anti-aging products....then maybe he will reconsider with either Billy Jealousy About Face Anti-Aging Serum or Billy Jealousy Combat Lines Face Moisturizer. Better yet....get them a Christmas gift that is practical AND they will love in the Billy Jealousy Shave3Some.
This week Billy Jealousy is our first featured brand during our 12 Brands of Christmas promo. We will be giving away THE HITS VOL. 1 kit including FUZZY LOGIC SHAMPOO, OCEAN FRONT BODY WASH, and HYDROPLANE SHAVE CREAM. This kit is valued at $60....but wait, there's more! We also have 6 2oz size products to give away too! Wanna win? Just follow us on Facebook for details on how to enter to win, FREE professional advice, FREE samples, games, and so much more!

The Lego Movie Review
I was very unsure about this movie. But it ended up being one of the most heartfelt movies I've watched in a long time.
The Lego Movie obviously takes place in a Lego universe where all the different sets are connected as different worlds. For example, there's the normal city world, a Wild, Wild West world and Cloud Cuckoo Land to name a few. The story follows Emmett an ordinary construction worker who lives a normal life, watches normal TV and listens to normal music (I bet that song is stuck in your head now…sorry!). Emmett, while at work bumps into a woman called Wyldstyle, another lego figure he finds incredibly attractive. She is looking for something and, surprise surprise by no coincidence at all, the item she is looking for is stuck to Emmett's back.
But another storyline connects to this one. Lord Business, the overlord of the city has come up with the Kragle, a magical object that can glue lego together and stop anything from being created. The 'master builders' as they are called, Lego people who can make things out of Lego pieces of course don't want this to happen. The item stuck to Emmett's back is the 'piece of resistance' that can stop the Kragle and he is seen as the chosen one from a very vague prophecy. Along with the master builders Emmett has to be the bravest he can be to defeat Lord Business and make sure he doesn't glue down the Lego-verse forever.
Now that's all well and good, until the ending.
It turns out that the Lego world isn't real and is in fact lego pieces in a home's basement. A little boy is playing with the pieces and it is father, who he has envisioned as Lord Business, that wants to keep the Lego pieces as ornaments rather than the toys they were designed to be. The little boy manages to show his father all he has built and what he has been doing (basically the plot of the Lego part of the movie) and his dad realises that, that is the point of Lego. In the end, they end up playing with the pieces together. It's a great plot twist with a huge heartfelt ending that adults and children alike will love.
Most of the movie is for children and so the comedy is too, but it isn't so dumbed down that an adult can't enjoy it too. I went with my grandparents and brother to see this movie (we're all over the age of 16) and we all loved it. It's a kid's movie, but with meaning, and the film actually had a lot more depth to it then I ever expected.
You think of Lego as a toy. But the movie is so much more. Yes, of course they got loads of toys bought out because of the movie, and people spent millions buying it for their kids but the moral of the story is what really matters.
It has a great cast, a great storyline and even better characters. The lengths Lego could go to with this movie was crazy. From including the superheroes, and the Green Lantern being the most annoying character ever, to even The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as well as a host of others. It also paved the way for Lego Batman which was a movie I absolutely adored.
If you haven't seen this movie you are really missing out. It is a great film and you will not regret watching it. Just wait for the ending, if you're not sure where the story is going, wait for that. It'll give you goosebumps, I promise.
What do you think of The Lego Movie?
Until next time.

Nandamuri Balakrishna is currently busy to begin his new project in the direction of V V Vinayak. There have been a lot of rumors about the project but nothing has been confirmed to date. The actor and director have earlier teamed up for the film Chenna Kesava Reddy long back. The buzz is that the current film in this combination is said to be the sequel for the movie.
Meanwhile, the interesting buzz is that Shriya Saran is going to play the heroine in this film. Apparently, Shriya Saran has decided not to act in the films after getting married but there seems to be a change in the decision. Balakrishna and Shriya Saran have recently acted in the films like Gowthami Putra Shatakarni and Paisa Vasool. Considering the rapport, Shriya Saran is said to have accepted to be a part of Balakrishna's film and if this happens to be true, it is the first film after the marriage. The complete details about the project will be out soon.

If you are facing difficulties with paying your rent and have made an agreement to repay your debt with Housing Rent Account Monitoring Team, no further action will be taken.
Step one
The Housing Rent Account Monitoring Team will send out a reminder asking for the amount owed to be paid immediately. If you are having trouble paying your rent you should contact the Housing Rent Account Monitoring Team to discuss the problem and make an agreement to repay the debt.
Step two
You will be served with a Notice of Intention to Seek Possession. This is the first stage of legal action, which could lead to you losing your home.
After receiving this notice you have 28 days to pay off the whole debt or to make an agreement to pay it back in regular instalments.
Step three
If your debt increases, your Housing Management Officer will send a further letter warning that court action to repossess the house will begin. Even at this stage, you can still sort the situation out by contacting your Housing Management Officer and agreeing a repayment plan. If you are taken to court the costs can be in the region of £320 and you will have to pay these.
Step four
Legal action will be started against you at the County Court. You will be invited to a court hearing at which the court can agree to repossess your home or order you to pay back what you owe and court costs in weekly payments.
Step five
If you do not keep up with the terms of the court order, your Housing Management Officer will apply for a warrant to remove you from the property, which you will be charged for. You can make an application to have a further court hearing. However, you need to pay for this hearing and arrange it yourself with the County Court - your Housing Management Officer can advise you on this process. If you lose your home because you have not paid the rent, you will not usually be rehoused.

Web Authoring in SharePoint 2010
Hi, my name is Kevin Reynolds and I'm a Program Manager on the SharePoint team. Today I will walk you through the process for creating the page above, from creating the page to having it go live on the internet. I will show you the enhanced Web Authoring experience in SharePoint 2010, including editing content, applying styles, using the new UI, changing the layout of the page, and even applying themes to your site. I would highly encourage you to create your own Publishing site and follow along to get a personal feel for the SharePoint 2010 Authoring Experience.
Create New Page
Let's begin with creating a new page. To create a new page click on the Site Actions menu and choose the New Page option, now in the dialog that comes up type in a name for the page – for this example we will use SharePoint 2010 Communities - feel free to insert your own name. Here is what you should currently see:
Now click Create on the dialog. A new page is created and you can see the Ribbon ()at the top of the page that exposes the most common options that you will use while editing the page. The page should look a lot like this:
Add and Edit Rich Text
Now let's add some content into the Page and then we'll get back to exploring more options available in the Ribbon. For this example I'll add in the following text:
SharePoint 2010 Communities: Work Together Effectively
As part of the 2010 release, SharePoint Communities provides a comprehensive, flexible platform that empowers people to work together in ways that are most effective for them. Allow your people to collaborate in groups, share knowledge and ideas, connect with colleagues, and find information and experts naturally.

If that last sentence doesn't mean much to you, no worries, you can just use the menu as a set of styles on your text and leave the HTML markup thoughts to the experts. Now take a moment to play around with the text yourself, apply some fonts, apply some colors, highlights, font size, or adjust your paragraph alignment. No rush, I'll wait…Really, it's ok you can come back and continue the blog in a couple of minutes…Welcome back, here is roughly what the current page will look like depending on the formatting you've tried out:

For this demo I'll be using a custom page layout – In a later blog I will show you how to create your own page layouts. Click on the Image on right layout and noticed all the new fields that show up and how the page is laid out differently now.
Insert a Picture
The new layout that we have chosen has a Page Image control that allows us to insert a picture onto the page in a specific location.

We have also enhanced the theming capabilities in SharePoint 2010 to make it easy to apply a new set of colors to your site. This will give your site an updated look and feel which can easily be created and updated as your needs change. To update the theme of the site go to Site Actions and choose Site Settings, this will bring up a new page with a bunch of links, click on the Site Theme link, and now you will be in the new theming UI for SharePoint 2010.
We will cover theming of the site and this entire UI in a later blog post, for now let's update the theme that goes with our content, in the large box with a list of theme choose the Ricasso theme, and click OK at the bottom of the page. Now navigate back to your page and you'll see that the colors of your page have been updated, according to the new theme that you had chosen:
Apply a New Master Page
The page is really coming together, now we will see how easy it is to change our Master Page. The Master Page is the main component with theming that gives a site it's look and feel. A master page defines where the company logo goes (or if there is one), where the Ribbon shows up, where the search box is, and all the common elements that should apply to every page. To update the master page go to Site Actions, choose Site Settings, and then on the Site Settings page click on the Master page link.
In the section labeled Site Master Page, click on the drop down box that currently says nightandday.master and change it to v4.master. This tells SharePoint that for this site you want all pages that you author to us the v4.master master page. Now navigate back to the page that you've been creating:
Now that you have all the right content and the page looks good, it's time to get it live.
Go Live
To make the page available to others you will submit it for approval using the Ribbon. This will send the page off to the appropriate approvers for these pages and they will review it and then publish it to customers. To submit this page for approval go to the Publish tab and click the Submit button (), this will bring up a new dialog that will check the spelling and allow you to add comments for the reviewer of the page , add in a comment and click Continue, this will start the approval workflow for the page, a new form will come up, click Start, and now you will be taken back to the page. Now the approver will review the page and Publish it to go live.
You have now created your first page in SharePoint 2010 and you already know how to add pictures, insert videos, change the layout of the page, update the site theme, change the master page, and publish the page to go live. We will go deeper into each of these topics in future blog posts.

Ryan Gosling takes the center seat here as Agent K, a Blade Runner working the rough and tough streets of dystopic Los Angeles some 30 years after the original film. His mission remains the same as Harrison Ford's Deckard's was back then: Track down and "retire" any renegade humanoid androids -- AKA Replicants. The film opens with K in the middle of one such investigation, as he interrogates a potential Replicant. Is this latest target human or isn't he? And what does that mean to K? You'll have to watch the film to find out, though the throughline of Blade Runner 2049 asks an even bigger question: Does it really matter anymore who's a Replicant and who's not?
While the basic concept of the original film is maintained here, the Blade Runner world has evolved and changed in meaningful ways since Deckard was first seen slurping noodles and bitching about his ex-wife. Roy Batty's violent escapades on Earth did not mean the end of Replicant kind; no, the Replicants and the humans around them have just adapted in the years since then. The result is a line between human and Replicant that is even more blurred than it was the first time around, and the effects of that blurring bear a heavy emotional weight for the characters and the viewer.Much of what's really happening in director Denis Villeneuve's (Arrival, Sicario) film has been kept out of the marketing, and having seen the film unspoiled, it does seem a shame to ruin any reveals - even what's going on in that first scene with the possible Replicant. This is perhaps a unique aspect of Blade Runner 2049 in that we often go into movies these days – especially big-studio franchise films – knowing most of what's about to go down. Entering this film mostly ignorant is the best way to approach it, and mercifully, we've been allowed to do that without having to go into full media blackout mode.Villeneuve (along with his screenwriters Hampton Fancher, back from the original film, and Michael Green) has made the kind of movie that seems almost impossible to pull off these days: a $100-million-plus extravaganza that's more art film than cookie-cutter action spectacle. Shot by legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins, every image in 2049 is gorgeous and dripping with color, life, and feeling. Indeed, the film's nearly three-hour running time may seem daunting to those going in, but it's mostly earned, allowing the director to fully realize the mood and atmosphere of the piece. Not only have Villeneuve and Deakins successfully recreated the world of the original Blade Runner, they've also expanded it beyond the confines of Los Angeles to farms, the Nevada desert, and city-sized junkyards. Even while a huge neon Atari sign and wisps of the Vangelis soundtrack from the 1982 film keep us anchored in Deckard's film, the sight of a giant, living holographic billboard accompanied by new music by Benjamin Wallfisch and Hans Zimmer puts Agent K front and center in this brave new Blade Runner world.
As for Deckard, and Harrison Ford for that matter, it takes a while to get to him, but the infamous mystery surrounding the character and the events of the 1982 film are the mountain that 2049 builds upon. And when Ford finally does show up, it is well worth the wait. This is not phoned-in Ford or my-agent-told-me-I-should-do-this Ford. No, this is Ford the legend, who brings a quiet, sort of gut-wrenching interpretation to Deckard and what he must've gone through in the past three decades.Gosling, meanwhile, plays K like a private eye who's had a bellyful of pain in his tough life, and he and Ford work off each other perfectly. Which isn't to say that the two necessarily like one another; a fantastic scene of conflict between them amid a malfunctioning holographic casino show has to be seen to be believed, not just for the visual dazzle that Villeneuve achieves but also for the back and forth between old dog Deckard and the young gun K.
The rest of the cast is also impressive. Again, careful avoidance of spoilers prevents one from saying too much, but Ana de Armas, as K's love interest/gal Friday Joi, is stunning in a unique role that begs for post-viewing discussion. Ditto for Sylvia Hoeks as Luv, the lieutenant of new corporate baddie/super-scientist Wallace (Jared Leto), supplanter to the Tyrell Corporation. Hoeks proves as great a threat as Roy Batty ever was, while Leto is in the film just enough to not overstay his welcome. Guardians of the Galaxy's Dave Bautista has a small but important role, bringing a restrained pathos to his character. And while Mackenzie Davis, as streetwalker Mariette, is unfortunately given less to do than the others, she does share a memorable scene with de Armas and Gosling that is simultaneously sad and enthralling and manages to comment on the unreality of modern-day social media personas without being heavy-handed about it.Of course, that's what Blade Runner has always been about: identity. As Deckard says about Roy Batty in his original narration in the 1982 film, "All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got?" The filmmakers of Blade Runner 2049 continue to ask those questions, bringing new and fascinating variations to the theme, and satisfactorily resolving Deckard's story along the way.
Blade Runner 2049
Perhaps one of the greatest fears fans had about a Blade Runner sequel was that it would simply replicate (ahem) the innovative and influential visual style Ridley Scott established in that film, while filling it with some kind of standard good-vs.-evil Hollywood cop tale. It's a huge relief to see that Villeneuve and his team are well aware of what the original film was about and show enormous respect for it. Instead, 2049 plays off of the themes, plot, and characters of the 1982 movie without cannibalizing it or negating or retroactively ruining any of those elements. Rather, it organically expands and grows what came before. It's a deep, rich, smart film that's visually awesome and full of great sci-fi concepts, and one that was well worth the 35-year wait.

Has your office chair seen better days? Is that broken wheel being propped up with a telephone book? There are so many office chairs available today that it can be overwhelming when trying to make the right purchase for you. This is a complete guide to buy a mesh office chair in Canada. Here's to hoping by the end of this post; you will have no doubts as to what you want!
Mesh office chairs are made from breathable material and have a patio screen look to it, for lack of a better description. This makes it more difficult to wipe clean. It is known for its durability. It is available in a few colors, making it a fun choice for those trying to brighten their office environment.
There are several styles and features available.
Armless or with arms chairs
This includes drafting and task chairs. The arms can be adjustable or flip-up to make an armless chair if need be. Adjustable arms are part of the ergonomic design and provide more support while typing or writing.
Adjustable backs
An adjustable back enables the chair to fit the contours of your back and can be adjusted forward and backward for enhanced lumbar support.
With or Without Headrests or Footrests
These include adjustable high back chairs, regular high back chairs, and computer chairs. These features offer extra neck and leg support for the comfort of the chair user.
What makes an office chair ergonomic? The following: back and seat adjustability, enough seat width and depth, mellow seat padding, seat pan front edge "waterfall", lumbar support, full-scale back-to-shoulder support, adjustable armrest, stable 5-leg chair base, easy-to-roll casters (wheels), no pressure produced on knees and anti-static is an add-on feature. Be sure to check out our ergonomic chair guide.
Folding chairs for office parties or gatherings. These are the same as a standard folding chair but made with mesh.
Yes, they are available in mesh! They are foldable and very portable. Nor do they take up much space when packed into your trunk.
Then there are other factors to consider such as size, wheels and the type of seat. Most office chairs are a standard size for the average height person 5'5 to 6' and up to 250 pounds. Those who are shorter should look for petite chairs (yes, they are available!). For those larger than average, whether in height or weight, big and tall chairs are available. Mesh is a cheap office chair option for those on budget.

On June 27, 1999 I did a loop ride to Oakridge. The only other time I've rode to Oakridge was several years ago when I went up Brice Creek, over the mountains, and came back Hwy 58. I tried a different way this time as Hwy 58 is not pleasant to ride on.
I started the same as the previous time, up over Garoutte, past Dorena Lake to Culp Creek. Then I left my previous route, turning left onto the Lower Layng Creek road. After about a mile this yeilds a nice view of Wildwood Falls. Several miles later it runs into Layng Creek road proper (Forest road 17). This little valley was for quite some time the sole water source for the city of Cottage Grove. It still provides about half the water for the city.
I had never been beyond the end of the pavement on this road before. It proved to be quite rideable, not too steep, and not too much loose gravel. There was a sprinkling of the white irises along the side of the road. They come out later up there than they do at lower elevations. After four and a half miles of this, I reached the Patterson Saddle, elevation 3200 feet. A sign indicated that the road ahead reached Hwy 58 in 5 miles. Instead, I turned right onto road 1714.
This road is a bit steeper than road 17, but has even less loose gravel. It climbs quickly above the trees, giving a nice view of the Layng Creek valley. After about three miles road 5847 comes into road 1714 on the left at an elevation of about 4000 feet.
Several miles down road 5847 I got this view of The Sisters. A bit further I noticed a patch of beargrass in bloom alongside the road. Further still, around a bend, the road was a bit washed out, though still rideable on a bike. About a quarter of a mile further, where the road to Kreuger Rock takes off, was a sign indicating that the road I had just come down was closed. Gee, there wasn't a sign at the top!
After reaching Hwy 58, I turned right towards Oakridge. I stopped at the Greenwater rest area just past Oakridge to refill my water bottles. Then, a couple miles further, I turned right towards the Hills Creek lake, after another mile another right onto road 21, and after yet another mile, another right onto road 2102. This road is not too steep, but after all the climbing that I'd already done, seemed a bit worse than it is. This is one of the roads that the Tour de Lane uses, so it can't be all that bad.
After climbing above 2000 feet there was a lot of beargrass along the road, compared to just the one clump I saw on 5847. In nine miles it climbs to about 3800 feet, then ends at road 5850. A left onto 5850 took me up to 4800 feet at Holland Meadows where I saw lots of yellow fawn lilies and trillium. Off in the distance I could see Bohemia and Fairview peaks. A few miles further, road 17 takes off on the right, and drops down to Brice Creek after four miles of ok gravel road. From there it was an easy 26 miles more to home.
I rode One hunred one miles, climbed 8900 feet, and had no mechanical problems, in spite of riding on about twenty miles of gravel roads.

Le plein pays
Jean-Marie Massou - Complainte 3
It is often thanks to the precious existence of seriously involved stalkers that we can still get sometimes hit in such a fundamental way by the extreme purity of an outrageously sincere recording.
During the last years, french director Antoine Boutet developped deep links with the character of Jean-Marie Massou, strong rural figure who spent 30 years of his life digging a cavern in the center of France. Being the only one to know how to access this narrow tunnel, he sculpted various figures in the rock. There, surrounded by these beautifully obsessive signs, he started recording on tapes mind-blowing a capellas echoing in the natural reverberation of the place.
Product of a unique encounter between two men, Antoine Boutet's documentary Le Plein Pays allows us with a constant care to visit a rough world of thorny branches, heavy stones and forgotten dust: there, Massou lives. There, the speaker of his portable radio screams in the trails as a daily fellow. And there, he talks: begging us to stop breeding. The fouling of maternity. The fear of overcrowding. Adoption instead. Or men with men, women with women. All along the 45 minutes of a tape's side.
Similar to the silent woods suddenly inhabited by this voice, the movie setups its own immersive magic tempo. As the title says, it is a dive into a "rich land", not only a sole encounter with a man, but also with his environment, and what he makes to fill it up with grace.
Highly recommended national release of the movie is planned on November 3rd, alongside a DVD edition.
A website also exists, built by Antoine Boutet for Jean-Marie Massou, with more sounds and videos:

Beautiful voice, if one set aside the guy's rather moronic philosophy in the excerpt you offer. Would like to see the film, anyway.RépondreSupprimer
Sorry maybe my translation was incomplete: it's actually more obsessively strange than prude: anti-procreation, but not anti-sex. That's why he invites boys to go with boys and girls with girls, which is an option I wouldn't describe as moronic.RépondreSupprimer
Yeah, when he says boys with boys, it's not to play soccer ... I should have been more preciseRépondreSupprimer

Read time:
Dr. Jonathan W. White, associate professor of American studies, has published Midnight in America: Darkness, Sleep, and Dreams during the Civil War. This unique history explores what nighttime was like for soldiers, slaves and civilians during the Civil War. It also includes a chapter on Abraham Lincoln's prophetic dreams of assassination.
In researching this book, White discovered more than 400 dream reports in Civil War-era letters, diaries and reminiscences. This research reveals an intimate, emotional side of the war that is rarely seen in other histories. Library Journal recently called Midnight in America "unique and innovative," "fascinating reading," and "a vital addition to all Civil War collections."
"This was a fun project to work on," says White. "Normally I work in political and constitutional history, but Midnight in America got me thinking about other aspects of the war – ones that are usually overlooked by historians."
White specializes in Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. More information is available at his website. He is also on Twitter at @CivilWarJon.

Large businesses spend millions to reach, teach and convert their targets audiences, yet some small business owners (who have little or no budget) think it will be easier for them to make and keep sales. It is not easy, but it can be done. It may not take millions, but it will take time. That is the simple equation.
- Understanding what a CTA (Call-to-Action) is and what it is not
- Understanding that not all CTAs are Equal
- Make your sign-up process easy and engaging and that will improve your conversion ratio.
- Check out Tip # 4 in this series
- When trying to create the right CTA, keep your potential relationship in mind and not selling. Make it clear "what's in it for them". If you put selling first, in your CTA you may make a great sales person but not a great business owner.
"But here's the catch with getting started with CTAs: you can't just slap "Click Here!" on a neon button, insert it on your website, and start racking in the clicks and leads. There are several crucial elements you need to include in a CTA if you want to entice people to actually take an action from your content." - HubSpot.com
No matter what you decide, please always include the most relevant and powerful CTA you can imagine with your messages and offers; and be patient. Try different approaches. There's no such thing as an overnight success. But there are best practices, so do some research and use them.
I'd be happy to work with you in developing CTAs for your unique requirements. Take advantage of a complimentary consultation and I promise you'll come away from our call with some useful information!

Ford Arts, Beats & Eats announces big sponsorship commitments
The future of metro Detroit's most-attended Labor Day weekend festival looks a little brighter.
Ford Arts, Beats & Eats organizers on Wednesday announced $1 million in new partnership commitments through 2018, including the continuation of Ford as title sponsor. Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort also expanded its role to presenting sponsor through 2017.
AB&E founder Jonathan Witz said the title sponsorship extension — via Southeast Michigan Ford Dealers and Ford Motor's Detroit Region — is a huge lift for the festival. Meanwhile, Ford gets to showcase new vehicles at the four-day event, which typically draws hundreds of thousands to the streets of downtown Royal Oak, where it has been held since 2010.
"It's like our backyard," said Amy Marentic, Detroit regional sales manager for Ford Motor. "It's just a great event for Ford and the community."
Festival organizers also announced several additions to this year's festival, which, as always, will offer a mix of food, arts and craft vendors, music (national and local) and family-friendly activities.
■The Detroit Institute of Arts is returning to the festival while bringing two new programs. DIA Away: Think Like An Artist will allow hands-on art experiences in the museum's mobile classroom trailer. Each day of the festival, the DIA will also present three onstage art demonstrations.
"We show the people how art is created from start to finish," said Witz.
■This year's "Move to Beats 5K and 10K" will be presented by Life Time Fitness and take place Sept. 5. The entire race course will be lined with live DJs and bands. "We wanted to come up with something fresh," Witz said. "It feels very original."
The races will benefit the Life Time Foundation and the Rock CF Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to public awareness of cystic fibrosis. The Life Time Foundation improves children's nutrition through school lunch programs.
The entertainment lineup will be announced in July. "The 2015 Ford Arts, Beats & Eats festival will have the best entertainment lineup ever," Witz said.
