The Society for Ecological Restoration annual conference is in Manchester 23-27 August and James Brady has put together an outstanding Arts Programme.
"During the conference, two internationally renowned cultural venues in the city of Manchester will host GAIA – Resonant Visions: an exclusive cultural programme consisting of UK and world premiere artists' film screenings, accompanied by public talks (with artists, ecologists, activists and scientists, etc.) associated with the conference theme of ecological restoration and resilience.
The events will be artistic co-ordinates and complimentary to the conference. Both responding and acting independently of the conference, they will expand and explore restoration and resilience from the neighbourhood to international scales, and from political, ecological and aesthetic perspectives.
How environmental activism, creative resistance and grassroots/indigenous movements can operate (both as a powerful metaphor and a real-world agency) for 'resilience and restoration' towards a post-fossil fuel world, are core themes which these events will also address.
Manchester is the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution: the unprecedented human technological shift which changed Planet Earth and crucially brought about the evolution of this Anthropocene age. It is therefore meaningful and poignant that a collection of moving image 'visions' of our changing planet are brought into the heart of what is one of the world's first Post-Industrial cities.
The core cultural venues pledging their support for SER 2015 in the city are The Whitworth Art Gallery and HOME. A special suite of eco-artist films will also be hosted at Manchester Central during the conference itself, providing an integrated cross-disciplinary aesthetic engagement for delegates."

Open Call for Entries: Biodiversity/ExtinctionJuly 21, 2015
ASCI (Art Science Collaborations Inc) is currently calling for works for an exhibition in the New York Hall of Science (deadline 23 August 2015). ASCI has involved two really interesting jurors – Elizabeth Corr from the Natural Resources Defence Council and Paula J Ehrlich from the E.O.Wilson Biodiversity Foundation. The exhibition announcement highlights key themes and issues,
The Paleolithic cave paintings at Lascaux, France are a magnificent record of early man's portrayal of the biodiversity of his surroundings. Artists have continued this long tradition, finding endless inspiration from the shape, color, pattern, texture, movement, and sounds of our natural world to create art in all expressive media. Taking the example of birds: Leonardo keenly observed and drew the flight pattern of birds in an attempt to invent a flying machine; Alfred Hitchcock used bird sounds as a psychological metaphor in his film, The Birds; Audubon's self-published opus, Birds of America, proved his dual genius as a naturalist and artist; and a growing number of contemporary artworks are being created in reaction to avian species extinction, such as Rachel Berwick's "may-por-é," "Zugunruhe," and "A Vanishing: Martha" installations.
Today we are learning the importance of the conservation of Earth's biodiversity for more than its innate beauty, capacity to inspire art, and to lift our spirits. It is acknowledged by scientists and even governments around the world, as the key indicator of the health of our planet's ecosystems. And, a rich biodiversity underpins ecosystem "services" (such as recycling of nutrients, purifying water, removing carbon dioxide and adding oxygen to our atmosphere, and sustaining habitat for animals and organisms like trees, and seeds that produce food), that are essential for human sustainability on our beautiful planet.
In his 1998 book, Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge, the esteemed Harvard biologist who coined the term "biodiversity," E.O. Wilson, argues for a return to the ideals of the original Enlightenment, including the bridging of the sciences and humanities. It is in this spirit that Art & Science Collaborations is organizing the "SCIENCE INSPIRES ART: Biodiversity/Extinction" exhibition at the New York Hall of Science. We hope to demonstrate the wide diversity of visual tropes that today's artists are employing to reflect upon the crisis of biodiversity loss and species extinction. We are seeking images of original art executed in any media for this international show.
Further information including guidance on submissions is on the ASCI page.
Caledonian Everyday Discussion Pt 3 of 3May 12, 2015
For the third in the series of Caledonian Everyday discussions (2pm Saturday 16 May, Summerhall) we have a panel comprising foresters (managers and researchers).
At the first panel (12 April) we were provided with an historical trajectory of the issues that Forestry Commission managers and researchers have been asked to take on. We started post war with pit props (a short hand for the role of forestry in the economy) through biodiversity (in the 80s) and community (in the 90s). But the shape of our forests, particularly the ancient woodlands such as Blackwood of Rannoch, have been affected by social and economic changes (human conflict) over a much longer timespan. This historical trajectory is from the period of Jacobite Revolts to the present.
Our second panel (9 May) started with the ways and reasons the Squamish First Nations people spent a decade taking back legal control over woodlands (Beth Carruthers). They were supported by the new Roundhouse Arts Centre in Vancouver who's initial artist in residence project ended up lasting 10 years.
We went on to explore C19th logging on Rothiemurchus Estate (Scott Donaldson) and on to contested languages of forestry and the ways that poetry, for instance, can inflect political discourse (Amy Cutler). We ended with the democratic intellect in Scotland (Murdo Macdonald). Imperial and post-colonial, institutional and critical, understanding and misunderstanding, ran through this conversation.
For the panel on Saturday 16 May (2pm, Summerhall) we'll take a different trajectory again.
Given an increased understanding that everything is connected, what do we need to be sensitive to in managing both ancient and urban woodlands, commercial plantations and even new sites for forestry such as the NHS Estate? What is the role of the arts and humanities? What is the role of cultural institutions?
To address these questions, we have a great spectrum of people involved in forestry including Bianca Ambrose, David Edwards, Richard Thompson and Rick Worrell.
Recently moved from the mountains of North Wales, Bianca Ambrose is a social forester, researcher and writer known for her work on public engagement and community connections with woodland who is now based in Bristol. A strong thread within her research work is to understand more about the motivations behind people's engagement with woods and forests, how people feel themselves to be connected to place and with nature, and how this translates into group action and personal satisfaction. The concept of biocultural diversity and the complexities of socio-ecological systems are embedded within her work and thinking. Using environmental sociology and human geography as her epistemological frames of reference, biocultural diversity and socio-ecological systems are manifest as woodland and forest scale cultural landscapes, where agency is directed by culture, place presents the natural resources, and a cultural landscape results. Bianca's recent work in the UK has involved research collaborations with community woodland groups, and communities involved in urban greenspaces both of which included travel to work in the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland. Previously, she worked in an international context exploring the biocultural diversity of tropical forests and semi-arid rangelands across the world in countries including Cameroon, Mali, Ethiopia, Nepal, India, and the Philippines.
David Edwards, Senior Social Scientist at Forest Research – the research agency of the Forestry Commission – started his career as a forester on rural development programmes in West Africa and South Asia. In 1997 he re-trained in African Studies at Edinburgh University, with a doctoral thesis on the environmental history of southern Tanzania. He joined Forest Research in 2004, where he leads a new programme, 'Integrating science for policy and practice', which aims to demonstrate how to conduct applied interdisciplinary research in ways that enhance its impact. He has a keen interest in the environmental humanities and has been collaborating with artists Tim Collins and Reiko Goto, and a diverse range of partners, to help realise the cultural meanings associated with the Black Wood of Rannoch, one of the largest remnants of ancient Caledonian pine forests in Scotland. In doing so, he has explored the contrast between the official instrumental discourse of 'ecosystem services' and the private narratives of aesthetic and spiritual connection and empathy with nature held by many ecologists and foresters – and the prospect that these less tangible values might be incorporated better into environmental decision-making.
Richard Thompson, Native Woodland Ecologist for Forest Enterprise Scotland – realised his vocation at the age of ten and spent his formative years doing voluntary nature conservation work. He has muddy boot origins having trained as a forester and worked for a few years supervising harvesting and forest management. However, his interest in nature conservation soon led to an appointment as a conservation forester in Mid Wales and subsequently, a project leader in Forest Research's Northern Research Station, specialising in the ecology and silviculture of upland native woodlands. Richard now provides strategic and site based advice on native woodland management on the national forest estate focusing on the restoration of planted ancient woodland sites, the improvement of condition in ancient semi-natural woodlands and the restoration and expansion of rare woodland types such as montane scrub and Atlantic hazelwoods. The aesthetic complexity of the "natural" environment and palimpsest of cultural use form important facets of Richard's interest in native woods.
Rick Worrell is a self-employed forestry consultant who specialises in the management of native and broadleaved woodland. He has been involved in woodland survey, planning, management, research and policy development; working for private owners, Forestry Commission, local authorities and environmental charities. He is one of a small group of people who argued for native woodlands to be brought into the forestry in the 1980s; and has made a career out of working with the forestry profession to develop the collective competence to manage them. After 25 years we are only part way through that process.
He owns a small ancient oak woodland together with 4 other families, near Aberfeldy, where woodland management becomes personal and collective, and gets entangled with family life. He also, after many years of trying, persuaded a commercial forest owner to sell him a couple of acres of spruce plantation behind his house, which he is restoring to native woodland.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
Caledonian Everyday Discussions Pt 2 of 3April 24, 2015
Should artists seek to change the world? That's where the first discussion ended, having explored the history of pit props; the potential for a poet to contribute to the constraints that a forest manager might have to take account of in planning the management of an area of woodland; the development of ecosystems services assessment and in particular the cultural dimension; Gaelic and the subaltern, and how to protect a bramble patch in Central Scotland. A more reflective and detailed summary of these discussions will be forthcoming in due course.
In the meantime we are very pleased to announce that the next panel (2pm Saturday 9 May 2015, the Anatomy Lecture Theatre, Summerhall) will have on it:
Beth Carruthers is a philosopher, theorist, artist, and curator known internationally for her work and research over three decades exploring the ethics and aesthetics of the human-world relationship. Her primary focus is on the transformative capacities of aesthetic experience, and of the arts in human relations to environment and other beings. She has collaboratively across the arts and sciences on the SongBird project (1998-2002), and in 2006 created a research report for the Canadian Commission of UNESCO on art in sustainability focused on sci-arts collaboration. She has recently begun a collaboration with a neuropsychologist on a project studying interspecies aesthetic engagement in part by imaging the patterns of human brain response to birdsong. Over the past decade she has been developing a theory of "deep aesthetics", arising from the aesthetics and ontology of Merleau-Ponty, and studies in psychology and cognitive neuroscience. It proposes that aesthetic engagement is potentially transformative of reductive ontology, and hence of cultural practices, looking toward more sustainable futures (see Carruthers, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2015). Her most recent publication is "A Subtle Activism of the Heart" in Piper and Szabo-Jones, Sustaining the West: Cultural Response to Canadian Environments, from Wilfred Laurier University Press (May 2015). Also note: "Returning the Radiant Gaze: Visual art and embodiment in a world of subjects" in Brady, J., Elemental, from Gaia Project/Cornerhouse (forthcoming). Beth lives in unceded indigenous Coast Salish territory on Canada's west coast. She is irregular faculty at Emily Carr University of Art + Design at Vancouver Canada, and currently a researcher at the University of British Columbia.
Amy Cutler, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, School of English, University of Leeds Amy's main academic research focuses on modern literature and its engagement with environmental politics and with old and new geographical imaginaries of Britain. Her specialist areas of study are coasts and forests in popular, small press, and avant-garde writing. She writes on problems of language, symbolism, and definition in particular environmental imaginations. Amy is the lead academic on the new cross-disciplinary White Rose network, Hearts of Oak: Caring for British Woodland, based at the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield, and York.
Murdo Macdonald, Professor of History of Scottish Art, University of Dundee. Murdo's doctoral thesis (University of Edinburgh, 1986) explored the relationships between art and science. He was editor of Edinburgh Review from 1990-1994. He is author of Scottish Art in Thames and Hudson's World of Art series. His recent research focus has been as principal investigator of an Arts and Humanities Research Council funded project Window to the West/ Uinneag dhan Àird an Iar: Towards a Redefinition of the Visual within Gaelic Scotland (2005-2011). This is a collaboration between the Visual Research Centre of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design at the University of Dundee and Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, the Gaelic College in the Isle of Skye. It explores the inter-relationships of contemporary art, Gaelic language and culture, and art history. A further research interest is in the generalist ideas of the cultural activist and ecologist Patrick Geddes.
Scott Donaldson, Creative Scotland. Scott is responsible for film education and environmental development. Scott studied literature, film, education and environmental management. He taught photography and media in London colleges and Scottish universities, photographed for Scottish Natural Heritage and programmed cinema and education at macrobert. From 1997 – 2010 at Scottish Screen, Scott promoted film and moving image education in statutory and tertiary education. Since 2010 at Creative Scotland, he managed the Creative Futures talent development programme and continues to promote film education.
The following and final discussion on 16 May will have a panel of forestry managers and forestry researchers.

For those of you who are observant you'll notice that we have reduced the number of discussions from four to three – the one this Saturday 25 April has been cancelled. Look forward to seeing you on 9 May.
Caledonian Everyday Discussions Pt 1 of 4April 7, 2015
As part of Sylva Caledonia, one of Summerhall's contributions to Edinburgh International Science Festival, we are holding a discussion, Caledonian Everyday in four parts. The first part will take place on Sunday 12 April at 2pm at Summerhall (Anatomy Lecture Theatre).
We are very pleased that Paul Tabbush, Chair of the Landscape Research Group (Bio), will join the exhibiting artists to discuss key questions imagining the future of forests in Scotland.
The key questions are:
- Who knows what (and who decides) about the ancient woodlands of Scotland?
Management of forests is no longer restricted to issues of extraction vs biodiversity. In a field including wild and free forest (no management), community management and extraction, and a science-based biodiversity management system, what are the various implications? Who decides? Who benefits? Who speaks for the forest and other living things?
- What can the arts and humanities contribute to well-being of non-human?
The iconic and of the everyday: where is the Caledonian forest embodied in the central belt? Can a deeper ecological community and its aesthetic experience be nurtured within a city? Is it a bonsai forest or a living ecosystem?
- How can the arts and cultural institutions of Scotland enrich our relationship?
Attachment and the challenges of creating connections: do cultural institutions have a role in the public awareness and well-being of ancient forests? Do the institutions of Scotland enrich our relationship with ancient Caledonian forests? What are the examples of practice in making these connections?

The subsequent panels will be held on:
- Saturday 25th April, 2pm
- Satuday 9th May, 2pm

how much is too little, too much, or just enoughMarch 20, 2015
The 12×12 project grows out of the powerful story of a North Carolina pediatrician, Dr. Jackie Benton, who ten years ago gave up a luxurious home to live in a 12' by 12' off-the-grid house and permaculture farm. The World Policy Institute used this idea to develop a project with the Queens Botanic Gardens, which has grown to an international network.
A creative team, comprising well-known NYC-based architects and artists including Betsy Damon, David D'Ostilio, Simon Draper and Christy Rupp, decided that the project must include all the key substances of living lightly: water, energy, and food. After careful planning, they decided on the following: two 12' x 12' structures will take the form of a book-like house that consists of living walls based on the DNA double-helix weave-like design; a rain-collecting upside-down umbrella rooftop with a waterproof layer and root barrier; a moisture retention product (such as a rainwater collecting solar panel rooftop); a drainage system and filter fabric made of flow forms that channel rain water into a large container, to be used as the main water source; an erosion cloth; and a space inside the houses that will be open to the public during the daytime (to be securely locked during the park's closed hours). Once erected, the space will encourage interaction through slide-out walls that will prompt participants to read/write/reflect about their individual houses and our planetary house and share their visions via daily web posts and social media. Readings from the book Twelve by Twelve and conversations will be held adjacent to the installation, where artists will facilitate interaction and imagination.

Opportunity: UrbaneJanuary 14, 2015
"But cities are not just made of bricks and mortar, they are inhabited by flesh-and-blood humans, and so must rely on the natural world to feed them. Cities, like people, are what they eat."
Carolyn Steel, from Hungry City: How Food Shapes Our Lives, 2008
With 66% of the world's population expected to be living in urban areas by 2050, now is the time to ask- how will we sustain these populations within the competing uses of city space? Have city dwellers lost all sense of connection with the rural, and in doing so, alienated themselves from the production of the very sustenance that keeps them alive?
Urbane, a cross-disciplinary exhibition, aims to address these questions and provoke further consideration of these issues. Embracing discourse around the growing energy and attention being drawn towards local growing initiatives and food projects, the exhibition will act as a platform for the exchange of knowledge between artists, architects, scientists, writers, policy-makers and community groups to address the need to more fully embed our food system within our everyday urban lives.
Urbane will run 19-24 February 2015, with talks, workshops and performances activating the gallery space to create a forum to better understand the unique attributes and possibilities existing within Scotland's urban and social environments for a more sustainable and equitable future.
Submission Guidelines:
Deadline for submissions 23 January 2015
Works of all mediums will be considered for the exhibition, with a preference for interdisciplinary collaborative works. Works will be selected for their cohesion and ability to sit within a group show in the Tent Gallery, a street-front project space located in the Art, Space + Nature studio, a space where direct dialogue between the University and the public can take place. The dimensions of the gallery are roughly 6m x 6.5m x 2.5 m in height, so works must sit well within this scale of space.
Please send a digital copy or photos of your work along with an artist statement and description/interpretation of work to Allison Palenske at firstname.lastname@example.com by 23 January 2015 at 5pm. Email attachment sizes must not exceed 5MB, please provide links to a Dropbox file location for larger files. Only works that have already been created will be considered, unfortunately we cannot accept proposals for new work at this time.
Preference will be given to artists proposing a performance, talk or workshop surrounding their work. Applicants will be informed of curators' decisions by 26 January 2015.
By entering, the artist confirms that if successful, they will deliver finished exhibition quality pieces to Tent Gallery, Evolution House, Edinburgh College of Art no later than 15 February 2015. Artists must be able to pick up their works following the end of the exhibition, or provide return postage, no later than 1 March 2015. Whilst due care and attention will be given throughout, artists should note that the artworks will be sent, exhibited and returned entirely at the owners risk. Artists are liable to make their own insurance cover, if required. Works should be sent suitably packaged and will be returned in the original packaging. Artists whose work is of a fragile nature should discuss this with the organiser before sending the works. Any further questions can be sent via email to Allison at email@example.com.
33 dagar/33 DaysDecember 14, 2014
"33 Days" – an exhibition by Ingrid Book and Carina Hedén
20.11 2014—15.2 2015
KONSTHALL C , Cigarrvägen 14, 123 57 Farsta, Sweden
33 dagar/33 Days is an exhibition by Ingrid Book and Carina Hedén, and an investigation into the life of insects existing in a habitat of Damson trees (Prunus Insititia). The first Scandinavian findings of Damson, the "poor man's plums", are from the Viking age. The thicket measures 26 x 13 meters and is situated a few hundred meters from Grimeton Radio Station, on the west coast of Sweden. It's a large-scale radio station for long wave transmissions and wireless telegraphy with the US from the 1920s. The Grimeton Radio Station of Halland is included in UNESCO's World Heritage list.
The Damson thicket is surrounded by an agricultural landscape with monoculture. It's a fragment of an old cultural landscape and represents an endangered biological heritage. The insects have been filmed in high resolution (4K), with a camera that "sees" more than the human eye and that reveals a "new" visual reality. Vegetation observed from the inside with the ultrafast reactions of the insects versus standstill and slow-moving time.
A diary of the unexpected behaviour of insects and their encounters (with man and his machines as an alien element) – during a rapidly proceeding summer.
Another work, "DRIFT, what about Callisto?", questions the usage of pesticides in today's industrial agriculture.
Works in the exhibition:
Video: "33 dagar från ett krikonsnår" ("33 Days from a Damson thicket"), 115 min, 2014
Video: "DRIFT, what about Callisto?", 28 min, 2014
Posters: "Superweeds"
Ingrid Book and Carina Hedén are two artists based in Oslo. In their work – photography, video and installations – they actualize ethical and social questions in the intersections of architecture and urban and regional landscapes. Exhibitions of their work include Midlertidige utopier/Temporary Utopias for the Norwegian Democracy Investigation (Museet for Samtidskunst, Oslo 2003), News from the Field about urban agriculture (Bienale de São Paulo 2004), Militære landskap/Military Landscapes (Festspillutstillingen in Bergen, 2008). They participated in the Moderna Show 2010 with the series of photos Bexells Stenar, ett undangömt monument (Bexell's Stones, a hidden monument).
The exhibition 33 dagar/33 Days also marks the end of our two-year long exhibition/investigation Sustainability – What Do We Actually mean?*, initiated by the Konsthall C work group in January 2013.
In connection with the opening of the exhibition, Thomas Bøhn, researcher/professor in gene ecology at the University of Tromsø, gave a lecture.
About Thomas Bøhn: "My research interests are focused on the effects of modern biotechnology, and in particularly of genetically modified orgamisms (GMO), on experimental model systems and on real food-webs. At my institution GenØk I'm particularly interested in risk assessment and effect studies of modern biotechnological products. One focus has been on the food quality and ecotoxicology of GM-plants (for example Bt-corn or Roundup Ready soy) in a feeding model with water fleas (Daphnia magna), also in combination with chemical stress factors (herbicides and other chemical pollutants). In the field, I work with the consequences of modern biotechnology on biological diversity and food-webs, both in terrestrial and aquatic systems. I also have a great interest in evolution, biodiversity, ecological interactions and invasion biology."

Dominik Panzio Budapest Very poor quality
I stayed there for two nights but it will never happen again.
Although, this is a fairly cheap accommodation (not the cheapest) and we should not expect too much for our money, it was absolutely disappointing. The bed was poor quality and the bed linen also and with holes. There was a small wardrobe, three beds, two chairs and a table. On the table there was three not too clean glasses and a jar with thick layer of limescale at the bottom of it. No tap, no fridge or TV. There is a shared fridge ground floor and a dining area. There is nothing on the other floors only toilets and showers. I had to leave every time the room when I wanted to was my hands or the glasses. It means that other people have to do the same and it is almost impossible to sleep. The walls are thin and I could hear the person next door clearly.
In the morning when I left my room, the cleaner was complaining to her colleague about the guests who did not wash their glasses before they left. "I would not provide glasses for these either." When I told her that she is not right, they said that I can stay somewhere else next time if I am not happy here.

I found and killed him twice in my game
It's easter egg challenge like easter egg achievements for Donkey Mong and Chubby to killed them. Random and rarest to find. You will find them in no time while playing game. If some of you can't find them in 1st playthrough then do it in 2nd playthrough, join other player or friend game or so depend your luck to find them.
Tip for Donkey Mong, he is random in same spot of course many forums and here mention it so if you can't find him first time then quit to main menu then reload and go find him if nothing do it again until you find him and kill him off. I got achievement hour ago, I have few times reload to find him. So chubby and Jenkins is natural progress for me because found them regulars in random places.
Quick short note as I found them: (maybe help you to find)
Donkey Mong - Alway random in same spot in SW Eridium Blight. There and here explains already and myself too. If can not find him then keep doing reload game until you win yourself to find and kill off in same spot.
Jenkins - Found him in chest right before big Goliath in wide open area in The Fringe (part of side mission where you have killed big Goliath with big chest on his back).
- Another Jenkins I found and killed him in Lynchwood, I found him as he wander around nearby Bandits in almost first area when you arrived wide open area after train station with fast travel and vendors anyway found him in alleyway while I killing bandit enemies and saw Jenkins and killed him off for more loots.
I yet didn't saw Jenkins in either main areas you lots mention it. I found him as I explain above it's Lynchwood and The Fringe is another chance to find him. He just like luck based for anyone find him.
Chubby enemies - Found some of them in my game. I knew and remember killed Chubby Spiderant in cave in Frostburn in early game and found few Chubby Spiderants in The Dust by doing missions and leveling up in natural progress. Also found Chubby Varkid in Caustic Caverns. Also there notice bit more numbers then rarest chubby enemies to find in late playthrough (I am in late playthrough and at Eridium Blight moment). :P
All those are random for you find and you will have them in no time by playing natural progressions.
Gearbox Software loved rarest, secret and random things for people to find.
Enjoy Easter hunters.

How Japanese Verbs Really Work: A Primer • /r/LearnJapanese
https://www.reddit.com/r/learnjapanese/comments/3fkogx/_/, posted 11 Aug by peter in grammar japan language learning toread
A lot of textbooks and websites try to teach you functional Japanese and ignore the grittier parts of the grammar. Unfortunately, this means many learners miss out of the structure and beauty (and structure!) of Japanese that, while complex, might help put things into place. This primer is designed to get you more familiar with what is actually going on with Japanese conjugations. It won't cover everything and may even tell some "simple truths" (aka, white lies you'll unlearn later) but it will get you started on achieving a deeper understanding of Japanese verbs.
Henn na, the weirdest hotel in Japan?
jpninfo.com/17194, posted 7 Aug by peter in japan robotics todo travel
On check in you have the options of speaking to either a humanoid robot or a dinosaur wearing a bow tie! The humanoid robot has been designed to mimic a human being as well as possible. This receptionist blinks, appears to breath and can even make eye contact. Sadly, however, these robots cannot hold a conversation and so to check in you can use the touchscreens to the side of the front desk. Your bags are then taken by a robot too and for left luggage a large robot arm will pick it up and place it in a locker for you.
Narita airport to get SIM card vending machines | The Japan Times
www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/07/17/business/tech/narita-airport-get-sim-card-vending-machines/, posted 18 Jul by peter in communication japan mobile travel
The cards, aptly named Prepaid SIM for Japan, can be purchased along with smartphones, mobile routers and smartphone accessories at the vending machines, the Tokyo-based telecommunications firm said.
The airport will have two such machines, for Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, with only credit cards accepted for added ease.
NTT Communications said the SIM cards are priced at ¥3,450 for one week and ¥4,950 for two weeks. Both types offer a maximum download speed of 150 megabytes per second and 50 Mbps as an upload speed. If the data amount exceeds 100 MB a day, the network speed will slow down.

Change trays | The Japan Times
www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/05/23/reference/change-trays/#.VW_ccKrRZTf, posted 4 Jun by peter in business culture history japan
The cashiers I interviewed all agreed that the trays are convenient because there's less risk that someone will drop a coin and set off a scramble to retrieve it. The trays also make it possible to spread out the bills and coins so customers can see at a glance that they've been given the correct change. And as one shopkeeper explained it, offering change in a tray feels more polite than simply placing money in a customer's hand. "Japanese prefer not to touch other people's hands and the tray creates desirable distance," he commented. "So you could say that using a tray is an expression of reserve as well as an extension of good customer service."

The Famous Foods Of Every Japanese Prefecture [North, East, Central] - Tofugu
www.tofugu.com/2013/01/29/famous-foods-of-every-japanese-prefecture-central-north, posted Jan '15 by peter in food japan list reference todo travel
So, I've been doing my research. Because there are so many prefectures and so many famous foods, I'm going to be breaking this article up into two parts. One for North, East, and Central prefectures of Japan, and one for West and South prefectures of Japan. At the end of the second part, we'll also include a printout that has a map with numbers on all the prefectures corresponding to a list down below it. That way you can print this out, take it with you, and go on a rompy food excursion in Japan.
Each prefecture will be given 3 famous foods with the exception of a few (like Hokkaido, which is really, really big and tasty). While there are many other famous foods in every single prefecture, these are the ones that seemed to be the most famous.

2008 Final Report: Integrated Science Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen – Health Criteria
Notice EPA has released the final report, 2008 Integrated Science Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen - Health Criteria and the Annexes, as announced in the July 11, 2008 Federal Register Notice.
The Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) for Oxides of Nitrogen – Health Criteria document represents a concise synthesis and evaluation of the most policy-relevant science and will ultimately provide the scientific bases for EPA's decision regarding whether the current standard for NO2 sufficiently protects public health.
U.S. EPA. 2008 Final Report: Integrated Science Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen – Health Criteria. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/R-08/071, 2008.
Oxides of nitrogen is one of six principal (or criteria) pollutants for which EPA has established national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The Clean Air Act requires EPA to periodically review the scientific basis for these standards by preparing an Integrated Science Assessment (ISA), formerly called an Air Quality Criteria Document (AQCD). The ISA was prepared as part of the review of the primary or human health-based NAAQS for oxides of nitrogen. The Final NO2 ISA evaluates and integrates the newly available health evidence, and contains the key information and judgments formerly found in the AQCD. A series of Annexes to the draft ISA provides more extensive and detailed summaries of the most pertinent scientific literature. This is EPA's latest evaluation of the scientific literature on the potential adverse health effects resulting from exposures to oxides of nitrogen, particularly nitrogen dioxide or NO2. There are significant new data, particularly epidemiological studies, that strengthen the evidence for these effects since the last scientific review document was released in 1993.
|Dec 2005
|EPA published a Call for Information on Oxides of Nitrogen in the December 9, 2005 Federal Register Notice.
|Feb 2007
|EPA hosted a workshop on the assessment of health science for the review of the NAAQS for Nitrogen (NOx) and Sulfur Oxides (SOx).
|Aug 2007
|EPA releases the First External Review Draft for an External Peer Review and public comment.
|Oct 2007
|EPA hosts a Science Advisory Board (SAB) CASAC Meeting and external peer review to review and discuss the draft report.
|Mar 2008
|EPA releases the Second External Review Draft for external review and public comment.
|Jul 2008
|EPA releases the final ISA.

Paradise Found: Islamic Architecture and Art
14 Mar 2014 10:00
Sherbrooke 688 : 688 rue Sherbrooke Ouest Montreal Quebec Canada , H3A 3R1
A cinematic journey of discovery across the Muslim world, narrated by Waldemar Januszczak, revealing awe-inspiring architecture and art objects that evoke the history of Islam. We meet local historians and experts along the way, as well as an array of weavers, calligraphers, potters and jewellers. The discoveries include the stunning architecture of Samarkand; the surreal mud mosques of Djenné, Mali; the inspired urban planning of the ancient Iranian city of Isfahan and the world's first great (and possibly greatest) mosque in the Syrian capital of Damascus. The result is a stimulating introduction to a set of globally significant aesthetic traditions.

That was shitty, but we had heard stuff like that about Brandon before the book.

We learned not so much in BLL. The ND AD was a pain to deal with that Martin put up with for the sake of the series. Brandon didn't appreciate the series (he thought MSU was a bigger game, despite the evidence presented to him), and the other ADs didn't like him. Also, Brandon trusted the last deal with ND & didn't negotiate like he should have, again despite advice otherwise. So ND might have walked anyways, but Brandon made it easier.

|Well, when you come in & and announce to your staff that

Brandon gets kudos for how he handles stretchgate, for giving Hagerup one more chance, the student-athletes like him, there's a regent who still speaks highly of him, and I think it's his secretary who thinks he's a good guy. Its just that there is so much negative stuff that outweighs that.
Brandon had multiple chances to provide input to the book, and chose not too.

I've started reading BLL. Part of the reason Hoke's salary is so high is that Brandon didn't negotiate Hoke's salary before he hired him, so Brandon could imitate Canham's press conference when he hired Bo. So Hoke's agent had the better negotiating position.

|Correct me if I'm wrong,
but an athletic scholarship is NOT contingent upon a certain level of play, unlike an academic scholarship being contingent upon maintaining a certain level of scholarship (ie, GPA).
If the student-athlete is in good academic standing, hasn't violated the code of conduct rules or team rules then those are the breaks if he doesn't perform as well athletically as projected.
Therefore, why should "We could thus arguably say that Player X now has – through no fault of his own – reached a point at which he is failing to live up to his end of the scholarship-for-play bargain." even enter into it?
The more this becomes the way college sports operates, the more I agree that they should be paid. Because if you are going to manage the roster like a pro team, then pay them.

Here is a special edition 20th anniversary release of the number-one New York Times best-selling novel that reignited the entire Star Wars publishing phenomenon - unabridged for the first time. The biggest event in the history of Star Wars books, Heir to the Empire follows the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia after they led the Rebel Alliance to victory in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.
Five years after the Death Star was destroyed and Darth Vader and the Emperor were defeated, the galaxy is struggling to heal the wounds of war, Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting twins, and Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of new Jedi Knights.
But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor's warlords - the brilliant and deadly Grand Admiral Thrawn - has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic. For this dark warrior has made two vital discoveries that could destroy everything the courageous men and women of the Rebel Alliance fought so hard to create.
The explosive confrontation that results is a towering epic of action, invention, mystery, and spectacle on a galactic scale - in short, a story worthy of the name Star Wars.
More in the Thrawn Trilogy we have. And listen to all of our Star Wars titles you can!
©1991 Timothy Zahn (P)2011 Random House Audio
"Best book I've read this decade"
Definitely. The story keeps you guessing right to the end, and intertwines with the rest of the Star Wars universe perfectly.
Mara Jade was a fascinating character, she is in every part of the book, but you don't know who she felt is until the end.
All the characters voices were perfect, sounded like the original actors from the movies.
Definitely. I sat in my car just to listen to this book.
"Greatest Star Wars voice mimic ever?"
Yeah, I haven't read the print version but with Marc Thompson's acting this must be better. He gets every single character spot-on. Plus the voices he created for Thrawn and Pellaeon are instantly classic and unchangeable. I liked Thrawn so much because of Thompson's portrayal that I went ahead and got the "Outbound Flight" audio book after these. Unfortunately compared to Thompson's Thrawn voice, Jonathan Davis' attempt in "Outbound Flight" falls flat on its face. To be fair, Thompson's Thrawn trilogy was released after, so had Jonathan Davis heard Thompson's Thrawn voice before recording, perhaps he would have impersonated it expertly.
I listened to all three of his renditions of the Thrawn trilogy and I'm listening to his "Escape to Witch Mountain" at the moment. He seems to be great all the time.
Well it's pretty long so no, but in a few sittings.
The first and second books in this trilogy are grand. The third is good too but the whole Luuke thing flies out from left field and just plain could have been done better. And just when you figure out what's happening the fight is already over, with some lack-luster fumbling intervention by Mara Jade. Most people would probably say that the Luuke idea was ridiculous, but I for one will say it could have gone over great if more attention was given to it rather than just rushing it out as an odd end to the series. An otherwise spotless 3-book masterpiece.
"Marc Thompson at his best."
Absolutely, this audiobook was fantastic. Anyone who has ever watched the original starwars trilogy wants to know what happens after return of the Jedi, and the Thrawn trilogy brings you the answers in a glorious fashion.
This series introduces Mara Jade, so that is my obvious choice. She now the right handmaiden of Talon Karrde who has taken over after Jabba's demise. She is surrounded in mystery, and always leaves you wanting to keep listening and figure out just what is goin on!
There is not a single thing about Marc Thompson's performance that I didn't like! Anyone who has ever heard his narration knows he is the best around. Excellent voice and subtle back round noises make for a great performance and really immerse you in that galaxy far far away.
The empire has a new leader now.
Overall, great audiobook, awesome performance, good storyline. If you get this audiobook you won't be disappointed. This is a must for any starwars fan.
"Entertaining story, but over-acted"
The plot to the story is pretty good. There are some situations that seem out of character for the characters, but overall generally consistent with the series, and the original stories.
Mara Jade is definitely over-acted.
"Great Read, From Beginning To End!"
I loved this Trilogy! (I refer not only to this book, but to the entire Thrawn Trilogy because in my opinion it cannot be judged except as a whole)
It continued the Star Wars experience for me and kept me hooked form beginning to end.
Marc Thompson has a real way with the voices of each character, very convincing!
I think it is a great "first place" to begin after you have watched episodes 1-6. You do not have to have read any of those books to enjoy these.
"Surprise! This holds up 20 years later."
Twenty years ago, I eagerly devoured these books. At the time, Star Wars was over and there were no toys, comics, or movies on the horizon. This was a neat throwback to my childhood favorite, but I soon discarded it because of the things that bothered me at the time: the omniscient chess master of a villain, the mysterious femme fatale, and way too many callbacks like "I have a bad feeling about this." I donated my old hardcovers to the local library.
Earlier this year, I tried the audiobook of "Scoundrels," also by Timothy Zahn, and the entertaining reading opened my eyes to he older books in the series. Marc Thompson performs a one-man theatrical reading of the book, bringing fun, unique voices to each character. My favorite is his Distinguished Southern Gentleman impression of Billy Dee Williams (Lando). He also gives a Ricardo Montalban "Rich Corinthian Leather" reading to Talon Karrde, a new character. It's silly, but it works.
Thompson also nails Harrison Ford's Midwestern bray (Han Solo) as well as the Californian meditative Jedi as portrayed by Mark Hamill (as Luke Skywalker). Various posh accents (Thrawn, Winter, Mon Mothma) and the "harrumph harrumph" of Pellaeon are delightful as well.
So how's the book today? Perhaps the prequels have lowered my standards, but Grand Admiral Thrawn, Mara Jade, and Talon Karrde are more memorable than Count Dooku, Jar Jar, or the other doofuses in Episodes I and II. I still think Mara Jade's backstory is badly presented, and we are frequently told but not shown how smart Thrawn can be (clearly, he's been reading ahead). It would not make a good Star Wars film, but would be passable as a Game of Thrones-style miniseries. As a one-man radio play, it's a winner. I recommend checking out these books in audible format.
"Hoped for so much more"
I purchased this book based on the over whelming positive reviews.
I'm about 1/4 of the way through the book and am getting very bored.
Much of what I have a problem with other reviewers have stated on Amazon's reviews of this book: a dark Jedi that can communicate with Imperial troops light years away, a secret animal that can cancel out the Force, and the gratuitousness use of cliches from the movie. They all make it difficult for me to listen to.
My biggest issue though, is that the narrator turns Leia into a whining little girl. It's disrespectful to the character.
Overall, I'm feeling the same disappointment that I felt while watching The Phantom Menace when it came out. I had such high hopes and expectations that makes the disappointment all the worse.
Natural News Forensic Food Lab Director
"Incredible production, world-class performances"
Narrator Marc Thompson is unbelievably good at character voices. He's the Jedi master of Star Wars voices. His performance, combined with superb sound effects and background audio textures, makes this a vivid, heart-pounding performance.
A definite "can't miss" for all Star Wars fans. Possibly the best audio book you've ever heard in the series.
"They did a really good job of adapting this"
The cast and crew of this piece made Zahn's book come alive, and I very much enjoyed it. The sound effects are jolting if you are expecting a quiet listen however, but I have to say it is well done.
"Good trilogy to re-read before episode 7, 8, and 9"
I liked this one better the second time around. I read them 15 or so years ago. I think the Marc Thompson performance was the key. His voices along with the Lucas soundtrack in the background really helped.
My guess is that episode 7 will be 15 to 25 years past Return of the Jedi. So I think this series is a good filler between the two stories. The series introduces a lot of new characters that keep reappearing in later books so it will be nice to see how they use in the movie's to come.

Would not recommend
December 2012 stay
The temperature in the room wasn't adjustable, it was very hot at night.
Very poor breakfast, no bagels at 8.30.
Shuttle bus wasn't available because of holidays, but staff confirmed that bus will come as scheduled.
Room was very clean and hotel
has nice facility.
Overall good experience for what you pay.
Great off season hotel, GREAT staff!
We were only at the Capitol Skyline for one night, but I would happily stay there again. MY wife showed up with a cold, and the front desk attendant hunted down tea mugs and honey for her to make tea to soothe her sore throat. Service above and
beyond the call. The rooms are *huge* and comfy, well appointed, and the public areas are an interior decorator's playground and truly unique. Word of warning, there's evidently a poolside DJ dance party at the pool Fridays in the summer, so make sure you book a room to the front in you want to get any sleep. Walking distance to the Washington Senators stadium, but not much else. Shuttle bus to the sights is a nice plus. A great value and I would happily stay here again.
This hotel was very nice roomy comfortable and clean. I would recommend this hotel. Staff was very helpful andpand polite
Visiting Washington
We rode the free shuttle and then walked back to the hotel.
Get reservations to see the White House months in advance.
Good business location
this hotel is perfectly located for my work when i visit DC. It is also a good value. i stay there once or twice a month for work. It is sort of bare-bone (e.g. no room service or restaurant for lunch or dinner). many of the rooms need to be
upgraded some, but they are clean with nice TVs and work space. WiFi is fee and parking can be free depending on how many days you stay. There is one guy that works the front desk who is very professional and responds to any concerns i have had. not everyone is so responsive.
it was a money saving stay
cheap and clean rooms... not far from dinners and airport.
Not bad
Good to stay for one night. Good location and good view.

Leadership Quotes and Sayings - Page 2
I can no longer obey; I have tasted command, and I cannot give it up.
– Napoleon Bonaparte
Remember the difference between a boss and a leader: a boss says go – a leader says "Let's go!"
– E.M. Kelly
Leaders become leaders because they speak more.
Dare to be a leader not always to be a follower, dare to stand alone not to follow the crowd.
A leader is one who does not care about his rank and role but remains always responsive to lead, shoulder responsibility, and achieve the goal in such a way that everyone, in and outside the team, respects him for touching their revered souls.
The ability to inspire rather than enforce loyalty is a critical quality of leadership.
– Geoffrey Hindley
Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
– Albert Schweitzer
Leadership is action, not a position.
A leader is is simply a follower who follows what he believes in.
In life, always seek to be the driver, not the passenger.

Caraballo found guilty on multiple countsSTAFF REPORT | October 02,2013Frank Caraballo was found guilty of murder today by a federal jury that spent two weeks hearing his case in Rutland. At just before 3 p.m. Wednesday, after close to 8 hours of deliberation, jurors returned guilty verdicts on all but one of the counts against Caraballo, 31, of Holyoke, Mass.
Jurors found Caraballo guilty of killing 31-year-old Melissa Barratt of Brattleboro, whose body was found in the woods of Dummerston on July 29, 2011. While jurors found Carabello guilty of causing Barratt's death, they returned a not guilty verdict of actually pulling the trigger of the gun used to execute Barratt.
That partial acquittal will have little effect on the potential sentence that Caraballo faces. Of more significance was the jury's finding that while Caraballo was guilty of distributing cocaine, heroin and crack cocaine from March to July of 2011, they decided there was not evidence to support the government's charge that Caraballo had distributed inexcess of 280 grams of crack cocaine. That determination changes the sentencing potential in the case from a mandatory life sentence to a potential life sentence on that charge alone.
Caraballo also faces potential life sentences on the other three charges that he was convicted of Wednesday.
He was, in total, found guilty of: Conspiracy to distribute heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine; of being a felon in possession of a firearm; of using a firearm in furtherance of drug distribution; and of murdering Barratt.
No sentencing date was set in the case today. However, judge Cristina Reiss gave the defense 20 days to file post-trial motions.
