When Venus prepares to make Her grand entrance into Sagittarius, we can expect more "Jupiterian" opportunities for love: perhaps some personal growth in our relationships and partnerships, or something (or someone) who brings "higher Truths and Wisdom" to our eyes (and senses). Because Venus Herself said "I do what with whom I want," we could also expect that a partner may say "I'd like to be more expansive and indulgent with myself in some pleasurable way." (Your imagination does not need suggestions if you have a swinging lifestyle already.)
Where would one find Venus in Sagittarius (aside from the bedroom)? Perhaps love or just enjoying social connections or making new ones in places like universities, colleges, religious retreats, ashrams, houses of worship, in legal studies or advisement, at the casino (Sagittarius likes to bet big--see you at the baccarat table, Mr. Bond, or at the Las Vegas Million-Dollar Poker stakes); publishing that steamy romance novel that you've always known is more autobiographical than you want to admit until now.
Or...because Sagittarius is the sign of the Centaur, perhaps you may consider looking for love at the horse races, or even (if you're in the right crowd) at the polo matches. Since running is also a Sagittarian sport, perhaps the track & field events or even at the cricket matches.
Oh. One last thing: since our Venus-in-Sagittarius theme is Lady Godiva, a suggestion: if you ARE looking for love in an equestrian environment, may I suggest that proper attire be the rule? Saddle up, I say, and ride--perhaps (cough) reverse-cowgirl-style?!

When do books and photographs enter the public domain?
(Or what Wikipedia can't tell us about these artworks)
8 September 2015
When do books and photographs enter the public domain?
(Or what Wikipedia can't tell us about these artworks)
8 September 2015
This is the second article of our short series examining intellectual property frameworks in the Middle East and North Africa. These laws permit or prohibit free, open and lawful sharing of information, data and creative works. In this second piece, we center on the copyright for books and photographs. You can read our first article here.
According to most intellectual property frameworks, the legal protection of an artwork starts when the work is published. Then it extends throughout the author(s) lifetime(s) and can be prolonged for a limited period of time after the death of the author(s). Once the copyright expires, the artwork enters the public domain. According to the current Wikipedia definition:
Works in the public domain are those whose intellectual property rights have expired, have been forfeited, or are inapplicable. Examples include the works of Shakespeare and Beethoven, most of the early silent films, the formulae of Newtonian physics, Serpent encryption algorithm and powered flight. The term is not normally applied to situations where the creator of a work retains residual rights, in which case use of the work is referred to as "under license" or "with permission".
In our first article, we centered on the meaning and importance of the public domain. We also discussed copyright protection for folklore, an expression of art of a special and significant value in the Middle East and North Africa. But other artworks exist as well which we are exploring here.
Thus, we briefly illustrate copyright protection for books and photographs. We also draw particular attention to a legal provision known as freedom of panorama. The latter enables anyone to publish photographs, documentary films and other works depicting public places without restriction.
The easiest case is literary works, also known as books. The most common copyright protection is N years after the author's death. Once this time span expires, the book enters the public domain.
In some countries, though, the protection starts from the date the photograph is taken. And yet in other countries, the protection starts from the day the photograph is published.You may have noticed that Iraq imposes two types of protection. Thus, one lasts for 50 years after the author dies; the other lasts for five years from the day the photo is published. Kuwait is also present in both categories. Yet, it imposes much longer delays; thus, a photograph will not enter the public domain for 50 more years after its publication.
A short illustration of what these copyright restrictions mean. The below image of Florence Owens Thompson, a mother of seven and a migrant pea picker, was taken by photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936. Lange was one of the several photographers tasked by the US government to document the effects of the Great Depression on Americans. The image, entitled Migrant Mother, was published just several hours after being taken. It is now in the public domain in the US. Lange died in 1965.
So, did you do the maths?
If we were in Libya, this image would have been in the public domain since 1941 (5 years after the photo was published). If we were in Kuwait, the photo would have been considered in the public domain since 1981 (50 years after it was published). Finally, if we were in Bahrain, the image would still be under copyright (70 years after the photographer died).
What is freedom of panorama?
In a nutshell, freedom of panorama (FOP) means that anyone can take photographs and videos, create other images (e.g., paintings) of buildings and sometimes sculptures and other artworks which are permanently located in a public place. Under the FOP provision, the creation of images, videos and derivatives happens without infringing on any copyright that may otherwise subsist in such works.
In the next part of this sequel, we will do our best to explain and discuss a significant proportion of the artworks that exist today. As you may have guessed it, we will focus on films and other types of expression referred to as collective works. The latter exist alongside productions named joint works. It is complex but less of a headache than one would fear (we promise).
Till then, get in touch and share your thoughts, comments and feedback.

Control is an interesting topic. A topic that deserves many more words than I care to offer right this second.
It's the anniversary of my Dad's death tomorrow. While I have very vivid memories of that day, I also have just as vivid memories of today 3 years ago too. It's weird seeing yourself as you before the event and you after the event as almost two entirely different people. I remember feeling a similar way after a great friend died suddenly. It sounds a bit mental written down really but I know I'm not alone in that idea, so I'm probably not mental.
Not consciously on my mind and not affecting me in a more typical manner, instead I've been near constantly on edge for a good few days now. A particularly stressful (but exciting) piece of work probably didn't help matters but ultimately I think there's just a certain amount of transference afoot there.
I've been sleeping terribly too. The past week I haven't been able to sleep until about 4am. It wouldn't be so bad if it was a simple matter of 'Oh, can't sleep. I'll just go play a game or read a book for a while then' but instead it's hours of self doubt and worry. Fun.
It ranges from worrying over my career choices and chance of success, worrying about my Mum's health, worrying about my own health (in both cases it's hypochrondria but I suspect it's perfectly reasonable given the suddenness, yet predictable signs, of my Dad's death) to more frivolous worries such as my single status.
It's all stuff that'll go back to the back of my head soon enough once this time of the year has passed but it's a bit crap while it lingers there.
Back to control though. These past few days have reminded me why I love gaming. It gives you control and escapism. The main times I've felt myself once more have been while playing games (mostly Medal of Honor) and it was a similar tale in the months after my Dad died. Maybe it's pathetic to admit but being able to control something, even a game, can really help your mental wellbeing. I've no doubt about it.
Anyway, I'll go back to normal soon enough. The next two weeks won't be great I suspect. His funeral was the 25th (delayed due to waiting for the coroner who took forever – you wouldn't believe how complicated things can get if someone dies suddenly at home compared to dying in hospital) so there's a lot of memories associated with those two weeks. They were an exceptionally strange couple of weeks where time stood still really.
I don't normally open up as much as this on my blog but sod it, I'm going to press the publish button anyhow.

In a dispersed two-phase flow, the mixture chokes at a velocity well below the vapor choking velocity, as shown by the velocity at the throat of a converging-diverging, two-phase, supersonic nozzle. The formation and abruptness of a normal shock wave in a two-phase mixture depends strongly on the coupling between phases, particularly upon droplet size. As droplet size becomes small, the mixture behaves as a continuum, and sharp discontinuities can occur at velocities above the two-phase choking velocity but below the vapor sonic velocity. An approximate analysis is performed to incidate the droplet size at which continuum behavior might be expected to occur. A numerical model, which includes the drag, buoyancy, Basset force, and the force associated with the virtual mass effect, is used to show droplet-size dependence in two-phase normal shock waves. For the examples presented, continuum behavior apparently is approached at droplet diameters between 1 and 2 μm, even through normal shock waves.

Sacramento County Republican leaders Tuesday took down offensive material on their official party Web site that sought to link Sen. Barack Obama to Osama bin Laden and encouraged people to "Waterboard Barack Obama" – material that offended even state GOP leaders.
…Taking credit for the site (sacramentorepublicans.org) and its content was county party chairman Craig MacGlashan – husband of Sacramento County Supervisor Roberta MacGlashan.
The Bee asked MacGlashan about the content after seeking his reaction to hate-filled graffiti that was spray-painted over an Obama display on a fence at Fair Oaks Boulevard and Garfield Avenue.
…But he defended his Web site. "I'm aware of the content," he said. "Some people find it offensive, others do not. I cannot comment on how people interpret things."
MacGlashan said he would "consider people's complaints" before taking any action.
By Tuesday night, much of the questionable material – which ranged from depicting Obama in a turban to attacking Michelle Obama – had been removed, replaced with political cartoons attacking Obama.
It's something you have to see to believe. Well, maybe not, but here it is anyway.
Honestly, I think the Sacramento County Republicans ought to walk a little bit of their talk, and get themselves waterboarded before they recommend it for someone else. They wouldn't have to go very far either. The group Iraq Veterans Against the War were offering demonstrations in Los Angeles. I'm sure they give one to the Sacramento County Republicans if asked.
And they'd at least join the ranks of people who actually know what it's like, before recommending it for someone else.
What? They didn't do anything to deserve waterboarding? Neither did most of the people we've locked up.
Coalition military intelligence officials estimated that 70% to 90% of prisoners detained in Iraq since the war began last year "had been arrested by mistake," according to a confidential Red Cross report given to the Bush administration earlier this year.
Yet the report described a wide range of prisoner mistreatment — including many new details of abusive techniques — that it said U.S. officials had failed to halt, despite repeated complaints from the International Committee of the Red Cross.
ICRC monitors saw some improvements by early this year, but the continued abuses "went beyond exceptional cases and might be considered as a practice tolerated" by coalition forces, the report concluded.
The Swiss-based ICRC, which made 29 visits to coalition-run prisons and camps between late March and November last year, said it repeatedly presented its reports of mistreatment to prison commanders, U.S. military officials in Iraq and members of the Bush administration in Washington.
That hasn't bothered us, and I bet it doesn't bother the Sacramento County Republicans either.
But I bet they don't step up and walk their talk.

Before Internet, before technology, people in need of apartments to rent would roam the streets of big cities for days and nights n order to find a nice announcement. Now, the times have changed and specific applications and websites can offer us fast and accurately filtered information to our comfort. The fact that renters can now see a convenient list of all the apartments to rent on a single webpage surely provides a big help.
What Is the Catch?
But there is always a downside. The fact that the desired apartments or houses are not seen by firsthand at the beginning, can cause problems. That is why the first thing renters should be careful about is first to actually see the houses by themselves, then continue their search.
Personal Taste
People who aim to satify their need for shelter in such a way to serve their personal preferences, naturally have to be careful about many diffrent aspects other than just the house, like the flat renting location of the house and knowledge about the elegant parts of the districts. So, this process can always be harder than previously thought. Most of the time, decisions solely based on luxury judgements or monetary considerations turn up in bad ways. In order to avoid bad results, all said aspects should be taken into consideration in order to reach a good outcome.
Meet the Owners
It is always a good idea to first meet, speak, get close with the landowners. Then you can discuss the renting price of the apartment. After all, you will be giving them money every month and you will constantly be in contact. Second, you will both show yourself to be a nice and good natured person, and have the opportunity to judge the person firsthand.

The Next Gen National Arts Network is a coalition of artists and administrators from all over the United States who have set out to chart the course for being future leaders of the arts field. This effort is lead by a coalition of millennial and future leaders who support one another through networking, skill sharing, and sharing resources. We come together face-to-face where possible to build strong bonds over time.
This is not simply an organization, but a movement to develop emerging and mid-career arts leaders, primarily under forty years old, preparing them for leadership positions. Additionally, Next Gen seeks to build bridges between the past, current and future generations of leaders to produce a more thriving field and sustainable life in the arts.

soul sucking at its finest...
The rise in tribute bands disturbs me, even if I enjoy the performances themselves. The fact that the largest acts in this town are cover bands, and that such acts seem to be the new growth industry nationwide is pathetic. I don't begrudge people making a living playing music, but I wonder how you can spend your life playing other people's songs and really call yourself a musician... Playing covers was the least amount of fun I've had in a band, and that involved maybe two or three a night. I would rather work on my own music and not play out, than play other people's music to a bunch of drunk assholes... and so I do.

A short resume is given about the nature of exceptional points (EPs) followed by discussions about their ubiquitous occurrence in a great variety of physical problems. EPs feature in classical as well as in quantum mechanical problems. They are associated with symmetry breaking for ${\cal PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians, where a great number of experiments have been performed in particular in optics, and to an increasing extent in atomic and molecular physics. EPs are involved in quantum phase transition and quantum chaos, they produce dramatic effects in multichannel scattering, specific time dependence and more. In nuclear physics they are associated with instabilities and continuum problems. Being spectral singularities they also affect approximation schemes.

Azienda Agricola Abbona
The vineyards of Marziano Abbona, a vintner and farmer of great sensitivity and dedication to environmental protection, are set in the Langhe area, in one of Italy's regions best suited to winegrowing.
The vineyards of Marziano Abbona, a vintner and farmer of great sensitivity and dedication to environmental protection, are set in the Langhe area, in one of Italy's regions best suited to winegrowing. The winery was founded by Celso, Marziano's father, who had the foresight to recognize the area's potential for the production of top-quality wines. About sixty years ago, he planted the Doriolo vineyard in an area whose soil composition, exposure to sunlight and surrounding environment made it the ideal choice for the production of Dogliani Dolcetto wine. Marziano took up his father's challenge and passion and, with the greatest care, patience and insight, he was able to produce wines of the highest quality, in which aromas and colors blend to give nectars reflecting the spirit of one of the Langhe area's most highly regarded vintners. The same can be said about the non-autochthonous grape-based wines, in particular Cinerino, made from Viogner grapes, which is an extremely enjoyable, charming and aromatic wine.
The great red wines, from the above-mentioned Dolcetto to Barberas and Nebbiolo in all its versions, represent the perfect blend of quality, balance, charm and structure. The vineyards, which cover an area of 52 hectares, are planted with some of the most famous Crus: Doriolo (Dolcetto), Rinaldi (Barbera), Bricco Barone (Nebbiolo), Pressenda (Barolo), Terlo Ravera (Barolo), Cerviano (Barolo), Occhetti (Arneis) and San Luigi (Dolcetto, Viogner). From these wonderful and luxuriant hillsides, on cloudless days, you can take in the whole view, from the Monviso mountain to the sea, as far as the city of Torino, at a breathtaking glance!
The wine cellar, built in August 2006 and spreading over an area of 2500 square meters, is where the careful processing of grapes, combined with the use of state-of-the-art technology, takes place to obtain wines reflecting the painstaking work done in the vineyards and meeting the most demanding tastes. The many national and international recognitions received by Marziano's wines, which appear on the wine lists of famous restaurants, have proven him right. Marziano, aided by a highly-professional staff, makes wines enjoying all wine lovers' approval, from the most to the least demanding who go for a second glass for the pure pleasure of indulging in their taste.

Gums, Gaps, and Crispy Chips: How to Safely Remove Food Lodged Between Your Teeth and Gums
One of the risks of tucking into a bag of popcorn or chips is that a piece of chip or kernel shell may become lodged in the gaps between teeth or even in the gums themselves. Most of the time this doesn't happen, but when it does, it can drive you to the brink of madness. However, when trying to remove lodged kernels and chips, you need to be careful that you don't damage your teeth and gums in the process.
If you currently have food debris lodged in between your teeth, take a deep breath and follow these tips to remove it.
First off, Don't Be Too Rough
No matter how annoyed you feel, do not get too rough with your teeth or gums when trying to dislodge trapped chips or kernels. While it is normal for your gums to become irritated and swollen when food is trapped between teeth or under gums, you can make the situation much worse by being overzealous.
Refrain from using toothpicks or any other hard foreign object to remove trapped debris. You might cause a gingival abscess to form. A gingival abscess is an area of infection within the soft gum tissue that is caused by trauma. As a result, jabbing and scraping at your gums when trying to dislodge a stubborn piece of food debris is inadvisable.
Use an Interdental Brush to Remove Debris
Unlike traditional toothbrushes, interdental toothbrushes are designed to slide between your teeth. This makes them ideal for removing tightly lodged food like chips and kernel shells. If you currently do not include interdental brushes in your oral hygiene routine, now might be a good time to start.
You can also buy disposable interdental brushes from your local pharmacy or department store.
Waterpiks Are Gentle and Effective
Unlike floss or dental tape, waterpiks do most of the work for you. They are also gentler on your teeth and gums. Simply position the head of the waterpik under the area where the food is lodged, then use the stream of water to coax the food out.
Rinse with Warm Saltwater
When food debris becomes lodged between teeth or gums, your gums become swollen in response. This causes the food to become lodged even more tightly. Saltwater works by reducing the swelling of your gums, making it easier to remove the lodged chip or kernel. Once the swelling has come down, repeated rinsing may also help to dislodge the debris.
If you are unable to remove the lodged debris yourself, book an emergency dental appointment. Although you may be experiencing pain and discomfort, this is an issue your dentist can deal quickly. Remember that they have the tools necessary for such an operation. You do not. Don't take chances with your teeth and gums.
