By Roberto Finelli, Peter D Thomas
In keeping with a longtime interpretation, the transition from Hegel's materialism to Marx's materialism indicates a innovative improvement from an abstract-idealist concept of changing into, to a thought of the concrete activities of humans inside historical past. A Failed Parricide via Roberto Finelli deals an cutting edge studying of the Marx-Hegel courting, arguing that the younger Marx remained structurally subaltern to Hegel's certain notion of the topic that turns into itself on the subject of alterity. Marx's early critique of Hegel is represented as a 'failed parricide', depending upon an organicist and spiritualist anthropology derived from Feuerbach's presumed materialism. purely in Marx's mature critique of political economic system will he be ready to go back to this 'primal scene' and bring a particular idea of the position of formal determinations in social and political modernity.
First released in Italian by means of Bollati Borighieri Editore as Un parricidio mancato. Il rapporto tra Hegel e il giovane Marx, Turin, 2004. Translated through Peter D. Thomas and Nicola Iannelli Popham.

1, p. 298, translation modified. 34 chapter 1 Instead of being for itself, as a being, it is simply a relationship with itself but through the negation of its alienation from itself. When I say that I am for myself, I not only am but I also negate every other in me, I exclude it from me insofar as it appears as external. The being for oneself, as a negation of being another, which is the same negation in front of me, is the negation of the negation and is, therefore, an affirmation. 41 The principle of one, therefore, corresponds to a fundamental, if not definitive, mode of the construction of subjectivity: that of the certainty of the self procured by means of a relationship of autonomy-opposition with others, a certainty that is the basis upon which the world of the subjective free will, of right and the law is built.
Epicurus objectifies the contradiction in the concept of the atom between essence and existence. He thus gave us the science of atomistics. In Democritus, on the other hand, there is no realisation of the principle itself. 24 c) The atom, considered conceptually and not materialistically, signifies pure individualism – which is the negation of any relativity, of every possible relationship with another existence. The consequent realisation of this principle occurs in Epicurus's physics, which is distinct from the atomism of Democritus due, above all, to its theory of clinamen.
Such heterogeneity passes into contradiction when a determinate and finite figure of the first ambit claims to embody and exhaust in its limits the quality and universal extension of the second. Contradiction, therefore, here means that the idea, in its totalising universality, cannot be confined by the limits of the material and its figures. As a consequence, when this occurs or when the finite claims to present itself in its particular nature as a universal and absolute, it cannot help but come into conflict with itself and, therefore, negate and sublate itself.

Šejla Kameric
Arter - Space For Art
Šejla Kamerić's solo show "When the Heart Goes Bing Bam Boom" was packed with more visitors than you might expect at a nonprofit art space; perhaps the title struck a chord with the people of this nervous city. Placed at the building's entrance, the giant teddy bear BFF, 2015, made of secondhand clothing, fur, leather, fabric, and used plastic bottles, and Liberty, 2015, an installation using Plexiglas letters, LED lights, and metal spikes, probably helped attract curiosity-seekers from the streets. The teddy bear is out of all proportion to genuine love. Liberty is basically an old store sign (the spikes are to keep birds off): Consumption affects everyone and is easily mistaken for freedom.
Adding to the interest in Kamerić's work is the fact that she is a Bosnian who has experienced the atrocities of war and a sense of "otherness" in the middle of Europemajor issues of

Background The UPAASF newly-elected officers and board members have chosen Education and Leadership as the twin themes for their projects for the next two years. The Association plans to establish the Philippine Heritage Learning and Leadership Institute. When fully functional, this Institute aims to be the first and only non-profit educational center that will educate Filipino American youth about their Filipino roots viewed from a historical and cultural context. Course content will be delivered through a student- centered, project-oriented integrated curriculum. Classes will be conducted by distinguished instructors who are well-known and respected expert in their fields of study. The hope is that the more our Filipino American youth know about the land of their parents, the more likely they might get engaged and involved in its development and progress.
To kick off the Institute, two 2-week cultural camps will be held this summer targeted at Fil-Am Middle School students: one in San Francisco from July 8 to July 20; and one in San Jose from July 29 to August 3. Classes are held every day from Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM with lunch break at 12 noon to 12:30 and recess at 10:30 AM to 10:45 AM and 2:00 PM to 2:15 PM. A field trip and graduation ceremonies are scheduled on the first and second Saturdays of the camp duration, respectively.
Ms. Hydra Mendoza, San Francisco School Board President and Education and Family Services Advisor to SF Mayor Ed Lee, is the program's Honorary Chair. Co-chairing the project are Sonia Delen, UPAASF Board Member and Letty Quizon, UPAASF President.
Susie Quesada-Woolf, EVP of Ramarfoods International and a former CA Middle School Teacher, is Lead Instructor and heads the Curriculum Development. The following are on board and will teach aspects of Filipino culture: Susie Quesada-Wolfe on History and Geography, Ron Quesada on Music, Jay Loyola on Dance, Oscar Penaranda on Literature, Cocoy Ventura on Cuisine, Crisanta Malig on Costumes, Ester Delen on Conversational Tagalog, and Ichie Diaz on Science as applied to Filipino industries.
To create cultural awareness and interest among Fil-Am youth 10 to 16 years old residing in SF/Bay Area.
Primary target consists of parents belonging to Filipino families who regularly send their school- age children to summer camps. Typically these families have parents who work all day and usually enroll their children in summer camps because they cannot leave their children by themselves in their homes. This fills the need for a place to drop off children while they go off to work the whole day and the lessons and social benefits the children get from these summer camps are added advantages. These families normally spend about $ 200 to $300 per week per child for quality learning camps like the Y and Parks and Recreation camps.
Another target market includes parents who have always wanted to send their children to Filipino cultural classes to learn their heritage but have not found these in their communities. These parents are too busy to teach their children about their home country and its culture and history so having a cultural camp like this is an answer to a long-felt need.
These camps are the very rough equivalents of Saturday Chinese schools, Indian schools, etc. that other ethnic groups send their children to to teach them about their native cultures.
The camps will be open to children of Filipino heritage aged 10 to 18 years old.
This program is made possible through the donated time and talent of the instructors and program chairs. To cover expenses for class venue rentals, classroom materials, and field trip expenses, a minimal registration fee of $300 per child will be required.
The second sibling who attends the same camp will be entitled to 30% discount and the third sibling will be given a 50 % discount on the registration fees.
Partial and full registration fee support will be available to financially-deserving students. For more details about Financial Help, please contact Letty Quizon or Malu Yee.
After the program is piloted this summer in the two areas of SF and South Bay, the UPAASF plans to start a Fundraising Campaign to create an endowment so that the program can continue every year and even expand to year-long classes, if feasible.

Ah, the good old days of angst and eyeliner. For us former emo kids, there was never a greater time in music than the early 2000's. The screaming, the constant guitar riffs, and the feels when the lead singer just "got you."
1 You could never use enough eye liner.
Whether it was wing tips or the cat eye, you knew that your look was not complete without the heaviest of all black lines on your eyelid. The black represented more than just the fact that you stole your mom's eyeliner; it represented the color of your soul.
2 Your pants will never be as tight.
You took your cue from Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz. There was never going to be a skinny jean that was tight enough to match your punk rock vibe. You not only felt super hip wearing pants that were four sizes too small, but you also experienced the pain of losing circulation in your calves.
3 Your scene kid hair cut was so on point.
No one understood that this wasn't just a phase and that you actually did love having all of your hair covering your face. People not being able to see your eyes just made you all the more mysterious.
4 You still wear your Vans with Sharpie drawings.
The white and black checkered low tops were the uniform for you back in the day, but you just had to fill in the white spaces with Sharpie because you were so painfully hip. Even though the shoes have holes where your toes are these days, nothing hugs your feet quite like those babies.
5 Your head bang was almost too good.
The mosh pit was your second home and where you felt comfortable being around people that shared your suburban angst. Your skank and pogo were something that My Chemical Romance would be proud of.
6 We started the grey hair trend.
Speaking of My Chemical Romance, lead singer Gerard Way came out with this new 'do way back in the prime emo year of 2005. Slow your roll hipsters. If you think that your new grandma-themed hair color was inventive, you're forgetting that the scene kids deserve the credit.
7 You can finish these song lyrics.
"I chime in with a haven't you people heard of…" and "My father took me into the city…"
8 Hot Topic was the sh*t!!!!!!!!
You had the discount card, all the coupons, and you knew the cashier. When you and your emotional sqquad were aimlessly walking around the mall on a Sunday, this was your first stop. And you still stop in for band merch when it's on sale.
9 Speaking of stores, did you ever actually buy anything at Zumiez or just steal the stickers?
Your locker, your notebooks, and every inch of your accordion folder was plastered with these logo stickers because you just had to. You never really bought anything there, but a simple trip inside this store meant you'd find yourself walking out with approximately 55 of these stickers.
10 Energy drinks were totally necessary.
When life was hard in your cul de sac and Algebra was really getting you down, that energy drink was just the next step. How were you supposed to practice your screamo scream at 3AM if the long day wore you out?
11 Warped Tour.
Need I say more?
12 Summer and winter clothes were exactly the same.
The way to show the world that you were a true emo kid was by wearing chain gaucho pants and your long sleeve mesh tee shirt in the middle of July. Heart so cold, that layers were a must – even in summer.
13 You're welcoming it all back.
With the summer Fall Out Boy tour and Brendon Urie releasing new music, you can almost feel the music of you teen sadness coming back in full force. While nothing can match the musical glory of a year like 2007, maybe the new age of emo is finally reappearing.

At approximately 13:50pm BST engineers began to rotate all web application servers in the EU Public Cloud as part of standard update processes. At 14:14pm BST the Interact application in this region encountered a significant service outage.
As part of an update cycle, multiple web servers are rotated into usage before existing web servers are rotated out of usage and decommissioned. This ensures we can update the application without any downtime or loss of service. During this period there are usually double the number of servers in use serving requests, and opening database connections to the SQL Server cluster in use.
At 14:20pm BST Interact engineers had identified the problem as a significantly higher than expected connections to the SQL Server connection resulting in connections being stalled and web servers becoming unresponsive. This was caused by the rotation process described above. At this point, engineers manually closed all SQL connections from the old web servers.
At 14:28 BST this process had been completed, and the old web servers were taken fully out of rotation. This resulted in service being resumed as normal. By 14:31 BST all servers were responding well within acceptable parameters and the service was fully restored.
We are reviewing processes going forward to improve resilience around the deployment processes specifically with the time period between initial deployment and retirement of older servers to help mitigate similar issues going forward.
The US Public Cloud environment was unaffected during this time.

OneLogin Gets Hacked | Myki Emergency Report
Earlier today Identity Management company OneLogin reported a breach of its data-center located in the United States, putting 12,000,000 people at risk.
Reports indicate that peoples passwords, notes, private certificates, API keys and tokens, as well as the decrypted private data of customers could be at risk.
OneLogin claims to offer users secure access to their cloud and company apps on any device. The company is asking users to change the passwords of all accounts stored on it's platform, as well as revoking and regenerating all the keys and certificates.
This isn't the first breach OneLogin has faced, they reported a public breach last August, when some of their customers' private data was hacked.
The problem here is that because all of users data is stored in OneLogin cloud, when they get compromised the way that they did today, all the accounts get compromised. This is a huge problem because it requires a full reset of all accounts, keys, and certificates that every single company uses.
We hope that OneLogin will be able to quickly determine the extent of the hack and remedy the situation.
At Myki, we are working on a safer alternative that decentralizes password certificates and keys across users devices instead of storing them in the cloud.
For more information visit: https://myki.co/portal
For now, change the passwords of all of your accounts and make sure that you do not use the same password across any services.
We will keep you updated on any further developments!

Page 2: The Office of Fair Trading
In the UK, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has the job of ensuring that markets are competitive, that firms conduct their business fairly, and that consumers' wishes and interests are properly considered.
The OFT is an independent organisation. Its powers come from consumer and competition legislation, including the Competition Act 1998. It is currently headed by the Director General of Fair Trading (DGFT) and has a permanent staff of officials. The Director General is appointed by the Secretary of State for Trade & Industry (Rt Hon Patricia Hewitt MP) and takes overall responsibility for creating a climate of competition in the UK. The OFT is accountable under the law for its actions and always endeavours to be open, fair and transparent in its decisions. However, under the Enterprise Act 2002 these arrangements change, and the powers of the DGFT will be transferred to the OFT Board, of which the DGFT will become the first Chairman.

The shapes of various molecules are determined by their bond angles. A bond angle is the angle formed by the imaginary lines that join the nuclei of atoms combined in a molecule. Any two-atom molecule has a bond angle of 180 degrees, which means it is essentially a straight line. A three-atom molecule can have a bond angle of 180 degrees; otherwise, it must have a bond angle that is less than 180 degrees, such as water, which has a bond angle of about 105 degrees. As the bond angle gets smaller and smaller, the atoms of a molecule often become more and more crowded.
Journal # 22
a. If the bond angle in an atom was very small, how might we expect that to affect the stability of the molecule?
Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) is a model that helps predict the shape of molecules. The way atoms and nonbonding electrons are attracted and repulsed by one another determines the shape of the molecule. There are many different shapes that simple molecules take on, such as linear, bent, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, tetrahedral, octahedral, and trigonal bipyramidal,
b. Draw Lewis diagrams for methane CH4, and ammona, NH3. Both of these molecules are tetrahedral even though they have a different number of atoms. Why?

A beautiful 19-year-old girl, Reshma Bano Khureshi from Mumbai, India has an amazing and unique story. The young woman is a true hero, having saved her sister's life from a vicious acid attack by her husband.
Reshma has since gone on to be an inspiration to women and girls all over the world, even landing the chance to walk the runway during New York City's Fashion Week in 2016.
During the spring of 2014, Reshma and her sister were walking together when her sister's recently-estranged husband and two of his friends approached them and attacked.
"My brother-in-law was angry that she had taken their son," explained Reshma. "To take revenge, he came to attack her with acid but before he could, I jumped for her rescue. I did not know he was carrying a corrosive substance. The next thing I knew was that my skin was scalding and I could barely see anything."
The sulfuric acid attack left Reshmi without her left eye and her face was very badly burned and disfigured.
Over the next nine months after her accident, Reshma had to endure five facial skin-graft surgeries. She became depressed with the way she looked, and the treatments were very expensive for her family. Reshma considered suicide multiple times over the course of the aftermath of her surgeries.
She had lost the will to live, and she was in constant pain. When the time came to look at her reflection in the mirror, she was anything but happy with what she saw.
"I fell unconscious," she recalls. "I was a beautiful girl but now all I saw in the mirror was a scalded face with one missing eye."
Just when it seemed like Reshma would be spending the rest of her life hiding from her own reflection, her luck turned around. She met Ria Sharma, CEO and founder of Make Love Not Scars, which is an organization dedicated to ending the uncontrolled sale of acidic substances.
It turned out to be a life-changing occurrence for Reshma. Ria helped Reshma fund her surgeries, and even got her started on a rehabilitation program that brought Reshma back to life.
Reshma soon became a part of Make Love Not Scars' crusade through multiple ad campaigns to stop the sale of disfiguring acids, and to reach out to women who were victims of similar circumstances.
"I am hoping my participation will give them a confidence that they do not need to hide behind the veils," she explains.

Hugo Pinell, infamous for his role in the 1970s "San Quentin Six" prison break attempt, was killed Wednesday during a riot at a maximum-security prison outside Folsom, state corrections officials said.
Pinell was among more than half a dozen people injured when an estimated 70 inmates began to fight in a prison yard shortly before 1 p.m., according to agency spokeswoman Terry Thornton. Corrections officers responded with pepper spray and warning shots from rifles, a written report from the agency stated.
After the riot, five inmates were taken to area hospitals with stab wounds and others were being treated at the prison.
Pinell, 71, had been in state prison since 1965 on a life-with-parole sentence for a rape in San Francisco County. He was given another life sentence for killing a prison officer in 1971.
He was part of an Aug. 21, 1971, attempted breakout from San Quentin State Prison, in which six people were killed: three officers and three inmates, including George Jackson, founder of the Black Guerilla Family.
The prison gang has played a controversial role as a radical faction for civil rights. Activists in prison to this day continue to mark what they call a "prison rebellion" as Black August, often with fasting.
Pinell received a third life sentence for attacking two officers, slitting their throats, in that escape attempt, and had spent the majority of his time since then in solitary confinement and had participated in a 2013 statewide hunger strike protesting those conditions. Thornton said he was transferred from the isolation unit at Pelican Bay State Prison to California State Prison-Sacramento, where the riot took place, in January 2014.
CSP-Sacramento is located adjacent to the historic Folsom State Prison and is built to house inmates in high security, including solitary confinement. It houses about 2,300 prisoners.

No Room for Interpretation
Ignoring the law's authors, the FDA creates a self-serving DSHEA definition.
April 2012
Despite growing public outcry over its proposed New Dietary Ingredient guidelines, the Food and Drug Administration continues to doggedly advance an NDI draft that could dismantle the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA)—and take away your vitamins forever.
Senators Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), who helped write DSHEA, requested NDI guidelines be withdrawn and retooled in December 2011. But by January, the FDA had already rejected their request. The agency is instead choosing to interpret DSHEA in their own self-serving, freedom-destroying way—even when Hatch and Harkin are telling the FDA the exact meaning of the words the senators wrote.
There is no room for interpreting DSHEA when you're face-to-face with two key authors of DSHEA! An equivalent scenario might have the FDA arguing with James Madison about what the US Constitution means—even though James Madison is the one who wrote the Constitution!
The FDA's unwillingness to accept DSHEA's true meaning straight from its authors seems to have sinister undertones. By turning a deaf ear to Hatch and Harkin and instead fabricating their own meaning, the agency appears to be attacking the essence of DSHEA. Make no mistake: Without DSHEA in its original incarnation to protect us, our vitamins will vanish.
Misinterpretation's Folly
FDA is misinterpreting DSHEA in many ways. For one, the FDA interprets that a manufacturer must submit an NDI notification for every product that contains a new dietary ingredient. Hatch and Harkin reveal DSHEA's true intent was an NDI notification for the ingredient only. Leave it to the FDA to propose a system so illogical, inefficient and redundant! Why submit paperwork on dozens of products, when submitting paperwork for one ingredient would achieve the same exact goal?
Another key misinterpretation is the FDA's narrow take on DSHEA's definition of "dietary ingredient." By interpreting that nutrients such as amino acids and synthetic vitamins "do not count" as dietary ingredients, the FDA seems to be trying to limit which nutrients could be used in supplements. Conveniently for the FDA, this will keep manufacturers from developing new nutritional ingredients and products. Even though Hatch and Harkin verify that DSHEA says synthetic vitamins are fine, the FDA is stubbornly choosing to ignore reality and create their own definition, which will enable them to control your health freedom.
Empty Shelves
If the FDA's draft guidelines become real, the immediate impact will be a massive recall of supplements that are already on health food store shelves. Any products containing new strains of probiotics, cutting-edge nutrients such as astaxanthin and ubiquinol or synthetic vitamins will all be pulled.
How bad will this be? One recent estimate suggested that over 50% of all supplements on the market might be recalled—at a cost of billions of dollars to the nutritional supplement industry. The end of health freedom as we know it might be near—unless we fight back right now.
A Call to Action
We must actively protect DSHEA, especially after the FDA's rude rejection of Hatch and Harkin. Don't let the FDA's New Dietary Ingredient Draft Guidance advance another step!
Show your support to our friends who are representing health freedom by sending faxes to Senators Tom Harkin at 202-224-9369 and Orrin Hatch at 202-224-6331. In addition, fax and call your state's elected officials—tell them that keeping DSHEA safe from the FDA is a top priority!
And stay tuned for more news: The supplement industry is soon joining forces for a major call-to-arms against the FDA's proposed NDI guidance. Visit www.NHA2012.com for more information!

LOS ANGELES — A new in-depth piece from Wired.com dispels popular notions about the intersection of adult entertainment and technology, painting a much different picture through the eyes of several industry executives in the trenches.
In the feature entitled, "The Porn Business Isn't Anything Like You Think It Is," writer Cade Metz profiles Chris O'Connell, Jesse Adams and Jen McEwen and the trajectory of their company MiKandi, the world's largest app store.
"The adult industry has a very large content library, with, to use one of the buzzwords of the Internet, a very long tail," O'Connell tells Wired. "You have so few viewers for each piece of content."
The article also explores the long-held perception that the porn business is driving technical innovation, covering topics such as the evolution of tube sites, piracy and the emergence of VR porn while also examining the state of digital distribution and the challenges facing the industry.
Boodigo and Wasteland founder, Colin Rowntree, and XBIZ president and publisher, Alec Helmy, also weigh in on the future of adult.

July 1939
volume LVII
number 7
page 480
FERDINAND SOR, one of the most renowned guitarists of all history, has been acknowledged as also the greatest composer of original music for guitar. Born in Barcelona, February 17, 1780, he died in Paris, July 8, 1839. His musical talent showed itself quite early, for at the age of five he composed little pieces, which he performed on the violin or guitar. Musicians who came in contact with the boy soon recognized his genius, and his parents were persuaded to place him under a teacher for instruction on the violin and violoncello. So remarkable was his progress that after a few years he entered a monastery of his native city to receive a thorough general education including lessons in harmony and composition. Young Sor soon discarded the violin and violoncello, owing to his becoming fascinated by the guitar, and from this time it commanded his undivided devotion.
When at the age of sixteen he left the monastery his teachers had every reason to be proud of him, for he astonished musicians by his unrivalled technical proficiency in guitar playing and his profound knowledge of harmony and counterpoint. He became a member of an Italian opera company in Barcelona, which afforded him opportunity of becoming acquainted, in a practical manner, with the art of song and instrumentation. Inspired by this association, he wrote an opera, "Telemacco," which had great success in Barcelona and later in London.
Sor now journeyed to Madrid, where members of the aristocracy became interested in the young artist, and here he composed several symphonies and quartets, some church music and a number of Spanish songs. After the outbreak of war between Spain and Portugal we find him as captain in the Spanish army, and, several years later in Paris, where he resumed his artistic career, associating with all the musical personalities of that period.
In London
In 1809 Sor went to London, where his extraordinary skill on the guitar and his beautiful original compositions created a furore. Up to this time the Spanish guitar was scarcely known in England and, this new instrument presenting, in the hands of an artist, a new phase in tonal art, was hailed with delight by the elite of society. Teaching and composing now kept Sor fully occupied, and these years in England represent the most prosperous and successful period of his career. In 1817 he appeared as soloist in a concert of the London Philharmonic Society, at the Argyle Rooms.
While Sor was popularizing the guitar in England, Giuliani was doing the same in Austria and Russia, finally going to London where there was great rivalry between the two artists. Each of the great masters had his partisans and there were Sor Clubs and Giuliani Clubs. But eventually both left London, Giuliani traveling to Italy, Sor to Paris and later to Russia. There he wrote a funeral march for the obsequies of Alexander I and he composed also the music of the Ballet "Hercules and Omphale." Returning again to Paris and London, he wrote the music of the ballet, "Le dormeur Eveille," and the fairy opera, "La belle Arsene." In 1831 Sor, with the violinist Lafont and the pianist Herz, performed Hummel's trio, the "Sentinelle." The "Harmonicon" of February 1831 stated: ''Ferdinand Sor stands at a vast distance from all other guitarists, both as a performer and composer."
Ill health now forced Sor to restrict his public appearances; and, hoping that a change of climate might help him, he returned to Paris but to no avail; and, after a painful illness, he died on July 8, 1839.
Ferdinand Sor was a composer of distinctive genius. Aside from those already mentioned he wrote numerous works for the theater-operas, ballets and pantomimes, amongst them "The Fair of Smyrna," ''Le Seigneur Genereux," "Le Sicilien," "Gil Blas," and "Cendrillon." Of these "Gil Blas" and "Cendrillon" were quite popular for many years and were produced at the Royal Opera, London, and also in Paris.
As a composer for guitar, Sor stands above all others. One critic of that time wrote: "What Mendelssohn is to the piano, Sor is to the guitar." Others have spoken of him as "The Beethoven of the guitar."
Up to the time when Sor came upon the scene, most so-called sonatas and other works for guitar contained long passages in single notes with occasional basses on open strings, although Carulli, Aguado and Giuliani had already cut loose from this system and had greatly improved the method of writing for guitar.
Sor, with his thorough training in harmony and counterpoint and experience in instrumentation, soon found that the guitar was capable of producing three and four part harmony; and his original compositions for guitar show the hand of the master. Upon his method are built the modern school of Tarrega and others. Without the study of Sor's "Etudes" and other guitar compositions, the present day guitarists cannot expect to reach the top.
His "Method," the result of many years of observation and teaching, is a remarkable work containing numerous examples of technical nature and a great deal of text, giving explanations of everything pertaining to their execution. His four volumes of "Etudes" cover almost all phases of guitar technic and at the same time are melodious and from beginning to end contain nothing but beautiful harmonies. The first one of these "Opus 6" (12 Etudes) was evidently too difficult for beginners and he later on wrote "Opus 31" and "Opus 35," each consisting of 24 Etudes. A student will do well to begin with "Opus 35, Book 1," then "Opus 31, Book 1," follow these with "Opus 35, Book 2," and "Opus 31, Book 2," and after these are thoroughly mastered, one is ready for "Opus 6," and later for "Opus 29," 12 Etudes of considerable difficulty. Of his "Fantasias" the Opus 4 is perhaps the easiest one, but withal quite effective. The second, third, fourth and fifth Fantasias, Opus 7, Opus 10, Opus 12 and Opus 16, require more advanced technic. The "Variations on a Theme by Mozart, Opus 9" is one of the most effective of concert numbers and can be found in the repertoire of all the leading guitarists; this is true also of several of the Minuets in "Opus 11." Other numbers of outstanding merit are Grand Solo Opus 14, "Sonata, Opus 15," "Grand Sonata, Opus 22" and "Second Grand Sonata, Opus 25." The "Opus 22' is undoubtedly his greatest work and demands the utmost technical proficiency and musical insight from the artist. While at first a student may find the music of Sor rather difficult, he will soon discover that the left hand fingering employed will prove logical and practical.

THE GREAT DEBATE: Natural v. Synthetic
[This article published in YARN Magazine No.15 September 2009]
So, where do you sit on this heated topic? Opinions tend to be fairly well divided, however, I can be found sitting comfortably in my usual place, on the fence watching the battle rage!
And before I go on … my thoughts on the subject are purely my thoughts – sure there will be lots of conflicting opinions and emotions and that's great! What would life be without the odd stoush or two?
Let's examine the pros and cons.
Wool, as we probably all know, is very warm, has good water-resistant properties and is flame retardant, being more likely to smoulder than burn. That's apart from the fact that it is natural, smells and feels divine and has that certain feel-good factor because you know you're doing the right environmental/ecological thing.
On the other hand, even the softest wool can be unbearably itchy to quite a number of people with sensitive skins. Also, when it does get wet, it takes a fair while to dry on the body and you get colder. And not everyone is that crash hot when it comes to washing precious woollens – nothing compares with that feeling you get when you lift your beautiful jumper out of the suds to find it's become ideal for Mini You!
Talk of synthetic fibres seems to evoke a pretty heated response from some folk, making them sound unwholesome and somehow sinister. Yes, we know they are light years away from the real thing but, my oh my, they are light, warm, quick to dry, fairly indestructible and come in the most amazing range of colours and textures. Most of them can be bunged in the washing machine, on all the wrong cycles, and still come out looking chirpy. For me, their major drawback is their flammability and that must be added into the equation when planning a knitting project, particularly if it's for children of all ages and the elderly.
When the decision is particularly hard, I have my own set of guidelines. Essentially, I let the project tell me what I should do. By being too pragmatic about the aesthetic versus ethical question, are you going to compromise the end result? Don't sabotage the overall effect and sacrifice the drama of the project – maybe it really does need the zing that some synthetic yarn can add to it. You can get too hung up on the ethics and end up with something dull and boring!
Mix and match the fibres to get the effect you want. Mix the 'good' with a bit of the 'ugly' to achieve the outcome you want. And goodness knows the cost of natural fibre can be prohibitive in these fast-moving financial times. Don't let your feelings on natural v. synthetic prevent you from the enjoyment you get from practising your craft.
Ask yourself …
does the natural fibre do the job? It doesn't matter how you feel about it – if it isn't appropriate for the job or plain just doesn't work – get over it and bring on the synthetics! Life's a compromise and so it can be with yarn selection. Ease into it gently … make your next project 50% natural and 50% synthetic or 75%/25%.
To sum up – there's room for everything. So, make something that looks good and makes you happy, regardless of its genealogy. Happiness is the key to everything – and that's according to my hero, the Dalai Lama. He cracks me up – have you ever seen a religious leader who giggles so much!
Here's to happy knitting, lots of colour and texture and plenty of giggles in our lives!

Letters to the Editor
Biscayne Bay part of Everglades Restoration
In South Florida, we are either too wet or too dry. This year we've experienced an unusually wet winter which has wreaked havoc on the entire Everglades system. It has been a challenge for water managers to balance the needs of the natural system with flood control. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) was passed 16 years ago to address this.
Since then, the state and federal governments have been slow to show progress. In addition to the critical problems of the northern part of the Everglades ecosystem and the releases from Lake Okeechobee into the eastern and western estuaries, we need to remember that Biscayne Bay is in serious decline as well.
The Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands (BBCW) project is intended to restore natural coastal wetlands habitat by redistributing freshwater flows in Biscayne Bay and Biscayne National Park. BBCW will provide increased water storage in wetlands east of the coastal ridge to protect against saltwater intrusion and will thereby increase resiliency against sea level rise.
During my tenure as a Governing Board member of the South Florida Water Management District I highly encouraged the agency to begin the first Phase of BBCW, which has not been completed.To fully restore Biscayne's coastal wetlands, habitats, and nearshore fisheries, we need to move forward with the second phase planning.
Miami-Dade is the only county in the nation that is home to two national parks and is a major contributor of the tax funding that is ultimately used for the restoration of the greater Everglades ecosystem. Biscayne Bay is critical to the ecological and economic viability of Miami-Dade and, therefore, should be as equally important as other estuaries in the Everglades system.
Biscayne Bay cannot afford to wait and neither can Miami-Dade.
Irela M. Bagué, former governing board member, South Florida Water
Management District, Miami

Quantitative tests can be used to fit test all types of tight-fitting masks including FFP's (disposable), half and full face masks.
Quantitative tests can give an objective assessment of facial fit and provide a direct numerical result called a Fit Factor.
The most widely-used quantitative method for RPE fit testing is the Particle Counting method, a title ascribed to the TSI Portacount Plus. The Portacount Plus measures the number of ambient particles inside and outside a face piece and proves a numerical result which is the ratio of the two over a given test period. For more details on test exercises and pass levels go to the HSE 282/28 Protocols.

The price of second-hand real estate in Spain registered an increase of 0.9% during the third quarter of this year, which means that the price currently is about 1,636 euros per m2, according to the latest housing prices index of portal Fotocasa. Therefore, it continues the trend that begun in the previous quarters, i.e., the price of second-hand housing in Spain experienced positive or negative slight changes.
At the same time, the increase of 0.9% is the second largest figure recorded over the last nine years. It was surpassed only by the index in the second quarter of 2015, when property prices in Spain rose by 1.1%.
According to annual statistics, the cost of resale real estate in Spain fell by 0.6%. In general, it should be noted that the annual price indices show a chaotic behavior in the last year with slight increases or insignificant decreases.
The cost of housing in Spain reached its historical peak in April 2007, with the value at about 2,952 euros per m2, and since then the overall decrease has been equal to 44.9%. In addition, communities that have suffered the "bubble" in the property market in Spain have been La Rioja, down 57.5%; Castilla-La Mancha (53.5%), Navarra (53%), Aragon (52.6%) and Murcia (50.5%).
According to statistics by the Spanish regions, eleven of them have a positive quarterly change compared to June 2016. The Canary Islands, for example, recorded the highest growth, with a rate of 1%. They are followed by the regions of Andalusia and Valencia, with 0.8% each, and Madrid, with an increase of 0.7%.
From the point of view of the average price, Basque Country (2,735 euros / m2), Madrid (2,260 euros / m2) and Catalonia (2,021 euros / m2) occupy the top positions in the ranking in September 2016 as the most expensive Spanish autonomies for the purchase of second-hand homes. By contrast, Castilla-La Mancha (1,044 euros / m2), Extremadura (1,104 euros / m2) and Murcia (1,140 euros / m2) are autonomous regions with more affordable to purchase second-hand property prices in Spain.
As for the big cities like Madrid and Barcelona, in September 2016 the growth in property prices in most neighborhoods was recorded here. In the case of Barcelona, in the third quarter of 2016 real estate prices increased in all areas of the city. The greatest growth occurred in the district of Sant Martí (5.9%), followed by the Old Town (Ciutat Vella) (3.6%), Eixample (3.3%) and Horta-Guinardó (3%) .
"In recent months we have recorded price increases of up to 10% in some areas of the city of Barcelona. Therefore, in some districts of Barcelona, such as Les Corts, now buy a house or apartment is more expensive than in the Salamanca district of Madrid. The increase in demand for flats and apartments in Barcelona, due to the low supply of existing residential real estate in the city, leads to increases of prices, even in some neighborhoods that are situated far from the center like Sant Martí or the area of Horta-Guinardó. Therefore, we can say that prices of residential properties in Barcelona start to return to normality after several years of declines,"- explains the head of the research department of Fotocasa portal.

and Receive Complimentary E-Books of Previous Editions
Consumers have long been in contact with each other on a variety of topics such as watching a movie or going to a restaurant. Communication with family, friends, and relatives provides consumers an outlet to share information and experiences with others pre- and post-purchase. Word-of-mouth providing a flow of information among consumers which affects purchasing behavior and without cost to the businesses is of interest to academicians and businesses (Lang, 2006: 1; Mangold et al., 1999: 73). In today's information society, consumers are exposed daily to a large number of information and messages (Cakim, 2010: 3). However, there is no time to investigate such a diverse array of such information. Therefore, consumers seek a way to obtain reliable information by communicating with each other. In the past, these communications which were more regional and local have changed shape with the advent of the Internet and in recent times the concept of electronic word of mouth has been raised.
As the Internet has become an important communication tool, the world has become increasingly interdependent (Yoon, 2008: 1) as there is now a computer in almost every home. This improves access to the Internet via forums and social networking sites that are the repository of information through which consumers may transmit their opinions and experiences (positive or negative) to a great number of consumers without the limitations of time and space. By sharing these opinions and experiences, consumers seek to achieve some social benefits.
Consumers can contact many people and create their own social networks via online communities, and can protect and upgrade their own image depending on the social environment. Therefore, consumers share information which they believe can benefit themselves. In this manner, consumers can portray themselves as informed and intelligent in the eyes of other consumers. Benefits such as making friends and upgrading their image to show loyalty consumers can exhibit positive attitudes towards companies that they use products many years. For this purpose, they praise the company to othe consumers to ensure more custoemrs and profit. Some consumers have not full information about the products and services. Uncertainty as a result of the lack of information has caused consumers to hesitate before buying.
Consumers who have information share their information and experiences with uninformed consumers to help and facilitate decisions. Sometimes word-of-mouth behavior can be performed to express the anger and resentment that is the result of negative experiences. Also, as a result of negative experiences, consumers can share experiences with other consumers in order to seek advice. These online reviews become almost a business and some companies offer incentives like web miles and points for each review.
In addition to the above factors, culture also greatly affects consumers' word-of-mouth behavior. Some studies in the literature stated that culture is associated with the word of mouth behavior (Dawar et al., 1996; Money et al., 1998; Liu et al., 2001; Komlodi & Carlin, 2004; Okazaki, 2009; Lam et al., 2009; Schumann et al., 2010; Chu & Choi, 2011; Pookulangara & Koesler, 2011). The explanations above show that motivation and culture are effective concepts on review writing behavior in electronic word-of-mouth, but there is no study integrating these two concepts. This situation played an important role for determining the subject of the study. After determining the subject, the research model was developed by examining related literature. The conceptual framework was created to ensure integrity and related literature was examined. At the end of the study the findings are explained.

Visiting Eastern Europe is an enjoyable step back in time and a top travel destination. Here's the scoop on what you need to consider when trying to get there.
Getting To and Around Eastern Europe
Eastern Europe has been open to travel for roughly 15 years following the fall of the Soviet Union. Much to the delight of travelers, Eastern Europe has proven to be an incredibly beautiful and charming slice of old world Europe. From Prague to Budapest and everywhere in between, Eastern Europe offers much to be admired and prices are cheap.
Catching a plain to the far east of Europe isn't particularly difficult, but it really depends on the exact destination you are trying to reach. Most countries are reached by first stopping in Western Europe, but direct flights can be found depending on your departure location.
The high season is summer, which means prices can be a big concern if you have a tight budget. This may not bother you. If it does, the key to flying on the cheap is to shop across all the online travel sites. They offer dramatically different prices, even for the same flight! Determine a general range of dates you want to leave and come back. Then start hunting. Flights leaving after midnight can be significantly cheaper than flights during normal hours. Since you will be sleeping anyway, it makes sense to save some bucks.
There are two other pricing options that can save you a bundle on high season rates. Consolidators purchase bundles of open seats from airlines for flights that aren't traditionally full. You can save significant money, sometimes as much as fifty percent, buy purchasing from consolidators. The biggest savings occur when you buy from them at the last moment, but you risk all of the seats being sold.
If you are flying during the high season, you can also get a steal by booking a seat on a chartered flight. Chartered flights are small airlines that typically only fly during the high season. They tend to be a bit amateurish, but are definitely cheap. I've paid as low as $450 for a round trip booking to Budapest when an online booking would have run me over $900. If you go charter, try to upgrade to first class while booking in. For $75, I was able to do so on a flight from Paris to Los Angeles. It was the best $75 I ever spent!
Flying domestic in Eastern Europe is not for the faint of heart. The planes are a bit old and, well, they aren't always known for reliability. Most people simply hop on a train. If you must fly domestic, find a local resident to buy the ticket for you. Prices go up significantly when foreigners walk in the door, as much as triple the normal price.
Eastern Europe receives top marks as a travel destination. After 15 years of freedom, jumping a plain to the location of your choice shouldn't be any more difficult than any other location.

Hail Damage-Insurance Claim
Our Hail Damage Insurance Claim was a breeze with our Professional Roofing Contractor. The roofing contractor proposed a new roof installation for us. The Insurance Claim indicated and allocated funds for roof repairs for the main section of the home. The flat porch area was not even addressed in the Hail Damage Insurance Claim report. Our roofing company notified the State Farm Agency about the over site by the Insurance Claim Adjuster. The Lead Project Manager was obliged to schedule an appointment with the Insurance Claim Adjuster for a re-inspection.
The process was quite involved for the roofing company had to complete a drawing of the home's roof line for resubmission of the Insurance Claim. The measurements of the roof top had to be exact for the claim to be accepted. Our roofing company provided us with a detailed description of the new roof replacement process as well as the cost to be incurred. The Insurance Claims Adjuster found the additional Hail Damage on the upper slopes of the roof structure thanks to our roofing contractor.
The Hail Damage Insurance Claim process was prolonged due to the re measurement and assessment of the main roof structure. The installation of the new roof would be delayed an additional two weeks awaiting for the State Farm Insurance Company to release the funds. Our roof needed some roof repairs completed while we awaited the new roof installation to begin.
The crew of construction guys came out and placed a tarp on the entire roof system. A news agency reported that our house looked like a "A big blue smurf" with the tarp flapping in the wind. While we were awaiting the new roof to be installed, we had another large storm which caused more Hail Damage to our home. The tarp even had large holes that were visible from the ground.
Our Insurance Claim for the Hail Damage arrived on Monday afternoon with a check attached. The cost of the roof had been depreciated which I had not expected. The Insurance Claim was not clear about the allocation of funds. The roofing company sent out the contractor in charge who educated us well on how we would be able to recover our depreciation after the completion of the new roof installation. Jim was very helpful in the break down of the funds from the Hail Damage Insurance Claim. We are extremely happy with the way our Hail Damaged Roof was handled by our local roofing company.

Formed in 1958 the Clermont County Historical Society has recorded Clermont County Ohio history for over 50 years.
The Moselle was a brand new boat, built in Cincinnati it was only a couple of months old. It was, in 1838, regarded as the very best steamboat of its day. Its Captain and owner, Captain Perrin, was young and had great ambition. He was determined that the Moselle maintain the reputation as being "the swiftest steamboat in America." The Moselle's reputation was well deserved for her "quick trips" have rarely been beaten since.
"It seems that the Moselle was racing with another steamboat, as was the common practice in those days, and had stopped at Hillsboro to pick up a family-along with goats and chickens-to transport them to Cincinnati. The Captain was determined that the stop was not going to cause him to lose the race, so he opened throttle and put full steam ahead. Passengers who survived reported later that they felt the floorboards of the deck grow hot under their feet, and many of the men tried to get the Captain to cut back on his steam as they were afraid of what might happen. But he refused, and even when he pulled into port in Cincinnati, he refused to shut down the steam that he had built up, with an eye toward catching up to the other boat that was using the opportunity to take the lead. As he pulled out, the boilers let loose and a horrible holocaust ensued."
The Moselle left Cincinnati on the afternoon of April 25, 1838, between four and five o'clock bound for St. Louis. There were an unusually large number of passengers on board, between 280 and 300. A large crowd was there to see the Moselle off because her renown as the finest and swiftest boat on the river were great attractions to the public. About a mile up the Ohio from Cincinnati the Moselle stopped to take on some German immigrants. An experienced engineer on board noticed that steam had been raised to an unusual height. One man even left the boat, in fear, as the immigrants were brought onboard. It was when the boat was shoved off from the shore that the explosion took place. The whole vessel forward of the wheel disintegrated, the remainder floated down stream for about a hundred yards and sank, leaving the upper part of the cabin out of the water.
The explosion was reported to be unprecedented in the history of steam, it's effect was that of a mine full of gunpowder. All four boilers blew simultaneously, the people on deck stood no chance of surviving. The Captain was standing directly over the boilers and was blown across the river onto the Kentucky shore, which was about 1/4 of a mile distant. Another person was thrown a hundred yards with such force a part of his body (his head) penetrated the roof of a house. Of the 60 or 70 uninjured people who jumped into the river, less than a dozen made it to shore. Of the estimated 280-300 people on board 81 were known to have died, 55 were missing, and 13 were injured.

Deathmatch: The goal of a deathmatch game is to kill as many other players as possible. FFA means its all versus all. Players have an infinite amount of respawns with full armor with an modified buy menu that allows you to pick and choose youre weapon of liking. This game mode is perfect for warming up and is used by many to practise aim and reaction times.
Execute: The T team setup to execute onto a site with ~40 seconds left and the CT team is typically in a fairly standard setup. Grenades are automatically thrown for the T players and the rounds plays out the way counter-strike plays. The game goes through pistol rounds, forcebuy/lowbuy rounds, then standard gun rounds. Players can use the guns menu to select some preferences: whether they want to have an AWP, which M4 to use, and what site they prefer to play on the CT side.
Retake: Competitive-minded gamemode. The idea is that the T players spawn in a bombsite with the bomb, while the CT spawn on rotation routes and try to retake the site and defuse the bomb.

A journalist in Northern Mexico has filed a complaint against a local businessman for assault and threats.
Journalist Víctor Rubén Hernández Guerrero, director of the Semana Ahora weekly newspaper in the state of Durango, says that he was assaulted and threatened in a restaurant by businessman Javier Quiñónez Ruiz.
Hernández Guerrero told CEPET, the Centre for Journalism and Public Ethics in Mexico, that on the 8th of November he was having breakfast in a restaurant when Javier Quiñónez Ruiz – former president of the Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry – approached him and started insulting him.
"I asked him how he was doing, to which he replied, 'Here, greeting a fucking reporter,'" says Hernández Guerrero.
"Despite that, I suggested that we have a coffee, that we hadn't chatted in a while, but he told me, 'I want to warn you to correct the contents of what you publish.' He then hit me in the chest.
"When I reacted and turned to look at him, he punched me twice in the face," said Hernández Guerrero.
The businessman who the journalist alleges attacked him is the brother of the substituting senator Juan Quiñónez Ruiz, about whom Semana Ahora has published critical coverage concerning his alleged ties to drug traffickers.
Report of this incident was originally circulated by IFEX, the international freedom of expression exchange. You can read more about the details here.

Serene Song (White charcoal and studio pencils on black paper): I once bought a pack of charcoal pencils that included a white charcoal. I finally came across a picture that would use that pencil. The shot I drew this from had stage equipment in the background. I left that out of the picture and instead placed a single red rose on the piano using studio pencils.
At the Hockey Hall of Fame (Pencil on paper): I had a picture of my nephew pretending to leap over the boards while outside the Hall of Fame. It was drawn for my brother-in-law.
Carolyn (Pencil on paper): There was a movie made in Canada in the 80s called "Breaking All The Rules." It was not a great movie but did have a few scenes that made me remember it a couple of decades later. One of the stars was Carolyn Dunn. This was a screen capture of the girl who said, "You love my underwear?"
Beagle (Pencil on paper): Is it possible to not love the beagle? Charles Shultz loved it so much that he used the breed for Snoopy.
Greg (Pencil on paper): I was looking for something to draw one day and found this picture for a tuxedo ad. I just think he looks like a Greg.
Husky (Pencil on paper): What can you say about such a beautiful dog. It was the profile of the animal that caught my attention for this drawing.
Holding Hands (Pencil on paper): A friend asked me to draw this one for her friend. How do you not love this pose?
Collie (pencil on paper): One of several dogs I drew. I've always loved this breed of dog, possibly because of watching Lassie when I was young.
Study of Dürer Praying Hands (White chalk and black pastel on blue paper): This was homework for one of my master's techniques classes. The assignment was to copy "Praying Hands" by Albrecht Dürer. Although I'm happy with the result it obviously doesn't compare to the original. More about Dürer can be found at the Artsy Albrecht Dürer page.
Sarah (Pencil on paper): Whenever I feel like doing a drawing and can't find a suitable picture, I can go to Sarah Slean's website and find a good pose. Seriously, has this lady ever taken a bad picture?
Audrey Tautou (Pencil on paper): Amelie herself. I want to relearn French so I can watch this movie without having to look at the subtitles.
A Christmas Secret (Pencil on paper): When my nephew went to see Santa for the first time, the picture that was taken had this perfect pose. There was no way I could resist doing this drawing.
Golden Retriever (Pencil on paper): One of the most beautiful dog breeds, I enjoyed the look of this picture, the dog sitting in the tall grass.
Theo (graphite on paper): The son of a friend of mine, I used a picture she had on social media and drew this as a surprise.
A Girl and her Dog (graphite on paper): Sometimes a picture just pops up and screams to be drawn. This was one such picture. A friend on Instagram posted it and, well here it is.
Drawing is one of my favourite hobbies. The reason I love doing it is there really isn't much involved in the cleanup. Painting (especially oils) is a bit more time consuming when finishing for the day.
I use mostly pencils for my drawings as they have a large range of hard to soft giving me a great range of tonal values but I also really enjoy the classic feel of using silverpoint.
