text: U.S. Southern District of Ohio Judge Ed Sargus, left, swore in state Sen. Lou Gentile during a ceremony Sunday at Eastern Gateway Community College. More than 100 people attended the ceremony, and Gentile thanked everyone for "making this a reality and for letting me serve you in the Ohio Senate." He also offered the crowd a word of thanks for standing behind him. "The measure of a good friend is not when times are good but when they are bad," he said. "Thank you for standing by me through a tough election. We prevailed and now Eastern Ohio has a strong voice in Columbus." Also on hand for the swearing in were Gentile's family, from left, Josette, sister; Carmella, mother; and Lou, father.

We are over some field $k$ of characteristic $0$. The general linear group $\mathrm{GL}_n$ canonically acts from the left and from the right on the space $\mathrm{M}_n$ of all $n\times n$-matrices, and thus also acts from the left and from the right on the ring $k\left[\mathrm{M}_n\right]$ of polynomial functions on $\mathrm{M}_n$. Differentiating these two actions yields a left and a right action of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ on $k\left[\mathrm{M}_n\right]$. These actions are Lie algebra actions, and thus can be lifted to algebra actions (again, a left and a right one) of the universal envelopping algebra $\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)$ on the space $k\left[\mathrm{M}_n\right]$. Explicitly, these are given by
$L\left(E_{i,j}\right)=-\sum\limits_{l=1}^n x_{j,l}\dfrac{\partial}{\partial x_{i,l}}$;
$R\left(E_{i,j}\right)=\sum\limits_{l=1}^n x_{l,i}\dfrac{\partial}{\partial x_{l,j}}$,
where $E_{i,j}$ denotes the elementary matrix with $1$ in cell $\left(i,j\right)$ and $0$ in all other cells, and $x_{u,v}$ are the coordinate functions on the space $\mathrm{M}_n$ (so that $\sum\limits_{i=1}^n\sum\limits_{j=1}^n E_{i,j}\cdot x_{i,j}=\mathrm{id}$). Of course, $L$ stands for left action and $R$ for right action.
So we have two maps $L$ and $R$ from the algebra $\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)$ to the algebra of polynomial differential operators on $k\left[\mathrm{M}_n\right]$.
Question: Why are $L$ and $R$ injective?
Actually I am not sure they are, since...
Motivation: ... this question comes from reading
Roger Howe, Tôru Umeda, The Capelli identity, the double commutant theorem, and multiplicity-free actions, Math. Ann. 290, 565-619 (1991)
(I can send you the paper should you wish), where the authors claim (on page 567) that
$L\left(\mathfrak Z\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)\right) = L\left(\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)\right) \cap R\left(\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)\right) = R\left(\mathfrak Z\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)\right)$
(where $\mathfrak Z\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)$ denotes the center of $\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)$) because the images of $L\left(\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)\right)$ and $R\left(\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)\right)$ in the algebra of polynomial differential operators commute with each other. It's this "because" that makes me think that $L$ and $R$ are injective, as otherwise I don't know how to prove that the intersection $L\left(\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)\right) \cap R\left(\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)\right)$ is inside $L\left(\mathfrak Z\mathfrak U\left(\mathfrak{gl}_n\right)\right)$. Maybe I am just blind?

Show that a the cone $xy + yz + xz = 0$ cuts the sphere $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = r^2$ into two equal circles and find their area.
I have been trying to substitute one of the variables, say $z$, from the equation of the cone and putting that into the sphere; this looks like the wrong approach though. Could someone please help me with this?

I understand how HTTPS connections work, and I also understand they they require a certificate to know that the secure connection you have is with the right server (and not someone pretending to be the right server). My question is, how are these certificates secure? Why is it hard to fake them?
SSL is based on public/private key cryptography. This means that
A certificate is a public key with information about the owner attached to it. The owner can either be a person or a domain.
When you visit https://stackauth.com, the server will present its certificate to your browser. The browser checks that the name in the certificate matches the name of the website you requested and if the expire dates are valid.
Then the browser checks whether the certificate was signed by a certificate authority that the browser knows as trustworthy. Anyone who creates a faked certificate has the challenge to get it signed by a certification authority that is trusted by the browsers. There may be a chain of signatures from intermediate certificate authorities which needs to eventually lead to a trusted one.
If any of those checks fails, the browser will show you a warning and require confirmation. If all the checks are passed (or overridden by the user), the browser will use the public key from the certificate to encrypt some information that only the server can decrypt. This information is used to setup a secure session in a couple of more steps.
The main issues with this model is that the certification authorities are the weak link. There is a huge number of CA, that are directly or indirectly trusted by the common browsers. All of them can issue faked signatures, and this has allerady happened a number of times in the past (e. g. Verisign, Comodo, Diginotar).

I can't think of a good title for my post, sorry about that.
I've got a lunch box (called a bento box) Basically it's a plastic box with a plastic lid with a rubber rim around the lid to create an air tight seal with the top is on.
Now when I microwave my lunch (take the top off, stick it in the microwave to heat the contents, then take it back out and put the top on) it creates a vacuum such that sometimes I really need to pry the lid off with a fork.
How does this work? Does it have to do with the lid and base being different temperatures?
My very rudimentary understanding of physics is that the hot gases should be expanding and pushing outwards. I would think that would make it easier to open when the contents were hot.

sunday portrait 145
001. As I've mentioned already this week I've been pretty ill. I still don't know whats wrong with me so I'm going back to my Mum's for a week or two tomorrow to relax and take some time off from the city. I'll take my bloggy stuff with me, including my Tripod so hopefully I'll be able to keep blogging while I'm away but I'm not really promising anything. This blog is really taking a turn for the worse at the moment and it's making me worry even more about making stuff for it. Argh! I just wish I had focus!
002. I made a video called The Great Expectations Tag which I uploaded tonight on my Youtube Channel. I've been a bit quiet on the Youtube front because my iMovie just won't export the videos I've already made. It's driving me crazy so I don't know why it's being such a pain! It's a really cool styling one I made about two weeks ago but I just cant get it to work! So frustrating as I'm so proud of it and spent a while working on it!
003. I cant wait for January to be over, it's always the month where I have no money, no motivation and no desire to get out of my bed. Today we went and played in the snow and went to the Death exhibition and the Wellcome Collection. I highly recommend going if you're looking for a quirky and free exhibition in London. Me, Dal and Matt all then went for dinner at Vapianos, another place I highly recommend in Central London and then came home to sleep and defrost. Currently sitting under a huge pillow fort trying to think about what I need to pack to go home as well as thinking what products I need to take with me!
004. It's my year anniversary since I moved to London today! Oh how time flies when you're having fun! I've had a strange ol' year and not really done half the things I intended to do when I took this massive risk on moving to the big city. However for some reason I cant imagine living anywhere else. I take for granted so much that I live in one of the most inspiring cities in the world and I really need to do more with my time here!

Get well soon! But there is something about feeling ill that just leaves you wanting to just curl up in something soft and eat junk food; aka not do anything remotely productive.ReplyDelete
Love Joyce
Hope you feel better soon! xReplyDelete

If you're not feeling well, take a break! Your body will thank you. Drink lot's of water/hot tea with honey and ginger :)ReplyDelete
London for one year? Wow, time's flown by. I remember when you were in the process is moving.
Get well soon!
Feel better soon! Jealous that you're poorly but you still look great!xxxReplyDelete
I do YouTube vids and edit using iMovie. If you need a hand, I can try help. I always click share>export movie and use the 'medium' selection. If you've moved the videos you've recorded from the file they were in before you export then iMovie can't find them (if that makes sense).ReplyDelete
Be positive, you have so much going for you. Sounds like it's not being well which is contributing to your feeling down. I've been ill & it started off just me feeling crappy & down, then turned into a cold, then a horrible cough which I'm still getting over! Go home, have time with your Mum & come back with a fighting spirit. Don't dwell on what you haven't got done, it al happens for a reason. x
You look amazing here, you can't tell that you're unwell! Get well soon!ReplyDelete
Love your coat :)

I hope you feel better soon! Doesn't help that England is so freakin cold! Come and join me in sunny Florida. It's chilly for us, but probably warm for you!ReplyDelete
Is it just me or am I the only one that want the snow to dissapear. I haven't even been snowball fighting or snowman maing this year, I just can't be asked to do it this year! <3 xoReplyDelete
I hope you feel better soon Lily. I find that even a little time out from the city does the world of good.ReplyDelete
I know what you mean with Youtube videos not working. It is the most frustrating thing in the world as it takes so long to put together and then upload.

Welcome to the Healthy eating module for children aged 5-8 years. This module supports primary school children learning about healthy eating, as depicted by the eatwell plate and is comprised of a comprehensive Teachers' Guide and three Key Facts;
Key Fact 1 - Food is a basic requirement for life;
Key fact 2 - People choose different types of food;
Key Fact 3 - We all need to eat a variety and balance of food to stay healthy, as depicted in the eatwell plate.
The Key Facts are the key messages and skills children need to know and ensure that children's learning is coherent and progressive. The Key Facts feature differentiated information for different aged children, including worksheets, PowerPoint presentations, food cards and photographs and interactive whiteboard activities.
Interactive activities
This module is supported by four exciting activities. These are:
Make a balanced plate (The eatwell plate and its food groups.)
Make a healthy lunchbox (Create a healthy lunchbox in line with The eatwell plate.)
Unmuddle the meals (Investiagte a range of meals and food groups from The eatwell plate.)

Bangladesh now certified Muslim-free
Fixture list getting a touch repetitive.
chuz - as someone with Bangladeshi heritage, i find that a hilarious pun!
Stretch - download some logos, dude!!!
I actually teach a kid in South Korea who is half Korean and half Indian who is more Indian looking than Korean. His name is Korean, so it is possible to get a dark skinned Korean kid. Hines Ward from the Steelers is half Korean, and I imagine if his dad had left him in Korea he would have a Korean game. I know it is a bug but it is possible in my honest opinion.
Let's hope this one can shoot to kill...
Couldn't help myself...but he sure did while he was England manager...
And it just had to happen...
The actual game commentry was better "Kums slots it in."

Oh Think of the joy and pandemonium if this actually happened, Im an Arsenal fan and even I agree with most NUFC fans that Ashley is a knob, and not the kind you get on a door!!
Seriously. Is there any point to this sort of tactic?
Ian Emery completed nearly the same number of passes as the entire opposition combined (177 passes).
Hah! I always knew she's into Italian football!
This made me chuckle. I know it's Smyth instead of Smith, but they are quite a double act
Yo dawg, we heard that you like to play at Borjomi Stadium, so we put a Borjomi Stadium into your Borjomi Stadium so you can play at Borjomi Stadium while you're playing at Borjomi Stadium.

Just had a legendary news headline.
Took me bloody ages to get but then I realised how great/cheesy it is:
Gr-andy Taylor!
Funny for me because I won. Flip the coin and I'd be STFU.
2 nil up away. Opponents miss penalty 1, and 2, and I score after the rebound off that.
So many yellows and reds.
Jamie Carragher: goal machine.
All from set pieces but all on default settings.
lol did you not just double jamie carraghers goals FOR liverpool in this game (still couple behind his goals against liverpool)
Do you like orifices then Ross?
which one is the out-of-favour orifice? Englighten me CP
Wife had a kid recently, they're all out-of-favour
I hope Portsmouth aren't in League Two because of you
edit - oh wait, you're playing Tonbridge What year is it?

Portsmouth almost got relegated from League Two last season!
Well I don't know if this is funny, but part of the west stand of the Constant Vanden Stock has been closed:
Any idea if this is permanent?
Found this 'well known' maestro plying his trade in Cyprus!!

Wish I had kept a well timed injury one of my strikers once had - from a corner, headed the ball in and then, in what I thought was a fantastic new celebration in FM2011, he sat down in front of goals while the other players ran around flapping their arms. Took me a few seconds to realise that he had a cross above his name
brill name for this guy

And that screenshot really ****es me off now. Scott Richards He keeps scoring against me in the annoying Sampdoria 3-4-2-1 which I can't find a tactic to use against them to break it down reliably (I've been relying on long shots and my star striker to single-handedly do the job in recent years).
Thought this was quite funny when I saw it...
Ermm... I said Tonbridge, you may have misheard me.
Im sorry guys. I win this whole thread
That is brilliant, best one around. :P
Not a funny screenshot, but a vid.
Antonio Valencia, new Everton signing, gets his first Toffees goal against former employers Man Utd.
However, he apparently breaks his nose whilst nodding in with his face at the back post!
Note how he's actually clutching his face xD
LOL this one was very funny
i though 8 million euros was pretty expensive for a burguer, but only Half Burguer? (Look at his name) Thats outrageous! Didnt know these things were so expensive in germany!
Meanwhile... Star Fleet wins again!
you should get Borg to play for Romulas
haha yeh, its awesome
Their manager is Nero!
Strange miss...
@Coolcon2, St Mary's is a very reputable stadium I'll have you know! Anyway, I have 2 to share with you all:
I'm not an alcoholic, I swear!
And another...
Even the most myopic inbred scouser can't see this coming to pass...or even getting close.
A little trilogy of of screen caps that will surely amuse everybody who is not involved in this game. Ie. All you and not me.
A few players here seem a little red. I was kind of hoping one of those grey looking players, normally not much good, would wonder off the street and put on some boots, or especially gloves. Alas no.
Link 1
Can you guess how many players I have around the club rooms who normally put on gloves?
Link 2
Can you guess how many goals, in the upcoming ravenous City Derby, the opposition score from clear cut chances?
Link 3
At least the game didn't get stuck, especially since the game rules were broken with no GK on the bench.

Or you could holiday through the match and the game will sort it out for you.
Meanwhile at FA headquarters...
"Ok, so we failed at the World Cup, but decided to stick with Fabio Capello. Then we failed at the European Championships and now Fabio has retired, we really need a boost for English football in our next appointment..."
*shakes head*
Otherwise, there was no actual way of getting grey players. I think this is because in the Australian league the squad registration rules and salary cap is quite strict. Only 2 teams, seniors and youth.
So I cant register the whole youth team for senior football because it would go over the salary cap.
He was tackled from behind 1 on 1 with the goalie, and my def sent the ball straight into his own goal.
To bad the striker went for a penalty....
diving? didnt know it was ingame
It's August 2012 and England has just successfully hosted the Olympic games.
So successfully it seems, that the IOC decide to award them the games again in 2020.
I just couldnt believe my eyes when i saw this result after my first CL game - not only did they lose to a ten man team the own goal came after the sending off
This guy just popped into my youth squad. One of the best players of his generation too
Not that i am exactly in the FA Cup for money, but
less that the sqaud payout
Bit of a jip really...
Already posted these in a different thread, but I feel their good enough to be posted twice:
It appears my scout already has tried Dzeko's, but was unimpressed:
And for this price it better be good:
But enough of the bad jokes. I'm obviously talking about Dick:
I just had one on my game which said Shakespeare (some regen manager) appointed manager of dulwich hamlet, had a little chuckle
This guy has to be the world's least prolific striker!!
With his team 4-0 down, Wilson somehow managed to give away a penalty and damage himself in the process. Something tells me he didn't win the lottery that night.
Three substitutions THAT early? One injury, but still... Seems rather silly to me.

Some cards, like Voidslime, counter abilities - but they say they can't counter mana abilities. Why is that?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Because mana abilities get special treatment that prevents countering: they resolve instantly, without first going onto the stack. That leaves no opportunity to target them with anything - such as a counter spell - before they resolve.
Rule 605.3 describes this for activated abilities (as in Elvish Mystic), and rule 605.4 describes this for triggered abilities (as in Lotus Cobra).
Note that Voidslime's italicized "(Mana abilities can't be targeted.)" is reminder text. It's a statement about how these rules work, not a specific limitation of Voidslime.
Rule 605.1 defines what counts as a mana ability. At the time of writing, it has to meet three criteria: "it doesn't have a target, it could put mana into a player's mana pool when it resolves, and it's not a loyalty ability." This means Deathrite Shaman's first ability is not a mana ability.

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. – On the strength of senior Katie Eskew's 5-over-par 77, the Anderson women's golf team finished in a three-way tie for seventh at the rain-shortened 17th annual Agnes McAmis Memorial Women's Golf Invitational on Tuesday.
The tourney, hosted by Tusculum College at the par 72, 5805-yard Link Hills Country Club was turned into a one-day event after Monday's opening round was washed out.
Lee University (303) claimed the team victory by a one-shot margin over runner-up Carson-Newman (304), while Wingate (314) and Converse (317) finished third and fourth, respectively. King (322) was five shots further back in fifth, with the host Pioneers garnering sixth after a 325.
Anderson (327), North Greenville (327) and Shorter (327) shared the seventh spot, while Lincoln Memorial (329) rounded out the top 10 teams.
Wingate's Caitlin Starrs earned individual medalist honors after firing a 1-under-par-71 to edge Carson-Newman's Mary Tunnell by two strokes.
Eskew's effort gave her a share of ninth place on the day, while junior Sarah Timms shared 28th after a 9-over-par 81. Sophomore Garyt Hamilton notched a share of 44th after carding an 84, while fellow sophomore Braiden Furtick fired an 85 and finished in a tie for 50th. Junior Natalie Feder posted an 87 and closed the afternoon in a tie for 56th.
Next up for the Trojans is the three-day South Atlantic Conference Championship, slated for Sunday through Tuesday at the Sevierville Country Club in Sevierville, Tenn.

This Week's Liturgy
January 18th, 2015 (see other dates)
Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Discussion Questions for Reading 1Can you hear God's voice today? How will you answer?
Reading 1 1 Samuel 3:3b-10, 19
Reading 1 ReflectionSamuel was a young boy who grew up in the Temple. His teacher was Eli. God loved Samuel very much. In this story, God calls to Samuel in his sleep. Because Samuel is not used to hearing God's voice, he runs to Eli, thinking his teacher has called him. When this happens a third time, Eli tells Samuel to answer God by saying, "Speak, for your servant is listening." For the rest of his life Samuel listened to God. He became a great prophet among his people. God speaks to us in many ways, especially in the sacraments and through God's word in the Bible. Sometimes God speaks to us in the beauty of nature. Often he speaks to us in the events of our lives. Most of all, God comes to us in the love and in the needs of other people.
Discussion Questions for Reading 2How do you care for your body? How can you respect your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit?
Reading 2 1 Corinthians 6:13c-15a, 17-20
Reading 2 ReflectionThe Greek city of Corinth was a bustling seaport that was notorious in ancient times for immorality. The new Christian community there found itself surrounded on all sides by examples of all kinds of sin of body and mind. Paul reminds his readers that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who dwells in us.
There are temptations in our world, just as there were in Corinth. But when we respect our bodies and use them as God teaches us, we are fully alive and free from vices that can make us slaves. Drugs, drunkenness, sexual sins—these have no place in the lives of children of God.
Discussion Questions for GospelWhen Jesus enters our lives with the gentle call of his grace, how will we reply? Will we be busy with other things, afraid he will ask too much of us? Or will we trust him? Will we be open to his call and a new beginning in our lives?
Gospel John 1:35-42
Gospel ReflectionThe reading tells us about the call of the first disciples. Followers of John the Baptist responded to the gentle invitation of Jesus; they came and stayed the whole day with him. Then these disciples called their friends to join them. One of them was Simon. Jesus told him that he would be called Peter, or Cephas, a Greek word for "rock." One day the Church would be built on the rocklike faith of Peter.
Proclaiming Faith Activities for Primary Grades
Speak, Lord, We're ListeningIn the first reading, Samuel listens when the Lord calls him.
We, too, have to listen carefully to what the Lord says to us. Have the students practice listening carefully with the following activity. Have the children sit in a circle. Begin by whispering a short phrase into the ear of one child. Have this child whisper what he/she has heard to the next child in the circle. Continue in this manner until the phrase gets back to the first child. Have that child say what the phrase was. Some examples of phrases to whisper include, "you are special," "you are loved," or "I am with you always."
Come and FollowIn the gospel, Andrew and Simon Peter followed Jesus. Play "follow the leader" with the children. As the children walk behind you, following you, sing this song to the tune of Frere Jacques:
Come and follow, come and follow,
Me today. Me today.
Follow me where I go, follow me where I go.
One and all. One and all.
Proclaiming Faith Activities
Spending a Day with JesusImagine that you are Andrew (or Andrea), one of the disciples who followed Jesus. You have spent the whole day with Jesus and have introduced your brother Peter to him.
On the top half of a diary page, describe what your day was like. What were your impressions of Jesus? Tell what you felt as you listened to him speak.
Then return to yourself in the present. Take a moment to share with Jesus something that is on your mind right now—a joy, a sorrow, a hope, a prayer. Then, on the bottom half of the page, write a short note or prayer to Jesus about your concern.
Answering God's CallSamuel heard God's voice calling to him in the Temple. God calls to us, too, throughout our lifetimes. God asks us to lead lives worthy of those who care called to be temples of God. Read the situations below and tell how you think God would call you to respond in each situation. Ask a family member to evaluate your responses and to score each answer from 1 to 25. Then write a prayer asking God to give you courage to always respond in a way that would please God in situations like these or similar ones.
Some of my neighbors are making fun of a handicapped person!
God calls me to . . . .
I see a newcomer in school who seems to have no friends.
God calls me to . . . .
A fellow student asks to copy my test answers.
God calls me to . . . .
My brother or sister wants to watch a TV show I don't like and there is no other TV available.
God calls me to . . . .
A Prayer for Courage
Why is prayer important in making decisions? Write your own prayer for courage.

Blow Us Up, Blow Us Down, We Will Stand
When you've lived in "tornado alley" all your life you become used to spring storms. Bad ones. The old joke about Oklahomans is that when a tornado siren goes off we run to the front porch instead of the cellar...well that's really true! When I was a kid, the designated shelter in our home was the hall coat closet. When the sirens sounded we always had to throw a bunch of things out of it just to get in. It was kind of a family joke.
This was no joke.
My son, his wife and two of my three grandsons live in Moore. Let me just say up front that they are all fine. Their house wasn't damaged. But it was a very close call. Less than 1/4 mile. Andrew called me to let me know they were okay before I even knew the tornado had happened. We are so blessed and I know it. But nevertheless, this one effected me deeply. I was pretty much a nervous wreck all week thinking about what could have happened. I think part of it was the children. The sight of the wounded children and demolished schools evoked memories of the Oklahoma City bombing more that any other event in the 18 years since.
Andrew and his family rode out the storm in an in-ground shelter that Elizabeth's mother had given them. Sadly, her mother passed away unexpectedly on Mother's Day. But I believe she was still watching out for them from heaven. Andrew, who is a middle school teacher in Moore public schools, just "happened" to be home that afternoon. Elizabeth just "happened" to be off work and, on a whim, decided to pick up their sons early from school / daycare. I can just see Diane up in heaven shaking her finger and saying "I gave you that shelter Elizabeth, now go use it!"
I must confess that I haven't always been happy to be an Oklahoman. Even now the Oklahoma legislature can make me grind my teeth in frustration. But this last week, watching everyone in the state pitch in to help... well, it made me very proud to share that heritage.
You can blow us up. You can blow us down. We will stand.

HUGS and prayers continue. I have a distant cousin who lost her home, one of her children was injured, another cousin was in one of the schools (she is fine).ReplyDelete
We are all shaken by the violence of this storm.
So glad that your family was spared. Bless them all.
Thanks Carol, Hugs and prayers to your cousins as well. So sorry they lost their home.ReplyDelete
Wow! What a scary time for you and your family. What a blessing that your son and his family were kept safe.
I want to let you know that your blog post is listed in today's Fab Finds post at http://janasgenealogyandfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/2013/05/follow-friday-fab-finds-for-may-31-2013.html
Have a great weekend!
I am so happy to hear you and your loved ones are safe. What a terrible tragedy. I have been thinking of you lately -- both for this reason, and because I read about the church in Oklahoma City that opened its 100 year old time capsule recently. Included in it were letters that families left to their descendants in 2013. I was kinda hoping that you might have been one of the lucky recipients....ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Kathleen. I hadn't heard about the time capsule...so cool! Sadly my family didn't arrive in Oklahoma until 1920. :( But I wonder what those ladies in 1913 would think of us today!Delete
It's blowing your way again. :( Hope you are all safe!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Kathy! We all managed to survive another week of Oklahoma weather! My son in Moore had some wind damage (a fence) but otherwise is fine. Appreciate the thoughts.Delete

Wednesday, April 25.
There's a convivial buzz when I arrive at the Terra Kulture gallery on Victoria Island one steamy weeknight. By now this low-wattage hum has become as familiar to me in Lagos as the deep, throaty thrum of the city's ubiquitous generators – a salubrious din of feminine flattery and real estate tips, punctuated by the guffaws of men with paunches as robust as their portfolios. The scene is virile, expectant; there is a giddy awareness among us that vast sums of money are about to be spent. The view from the far side of the Third Mainland Bridge might be one of squalor, injustice, and unparalleled misery, but at tonight's art auction, the cream of Lagosian society is prepared to do what it does best: put on a show of conspicuous consumption.
The men are in linens and monogrammed shirts and sport jackets with pocket squares; the women are elaborately made up and accessorized by their men. I suspect the collective cost of the fashionable eyewear in the room rivals the GDP of neighboring Benin. The walls are hung with works by contemporary masters like Ben Enwonmu and Bruce Onobrakpeya, but it's not a stretch to say that for many in the room, the paintings amount to little more than expensive wallpaper. The action is on the floor, where some complex social pecking order is no doubt being reaffirmed. After a protracted bit of foreplay, the night's emcee steps to the podium. "Please put your phones on vibrate, so you do not interrupt someone who is going to spend some millions," he says, to approving laughter.
In 1999 the Nimbus Art Center in Ikoyi held the first auction of contemporary art in Nigeria, bringing in N22 million (around $1 million at the inflated official rate at the time, though closer to $250,000 at the black-market rate). It was a clear indication that a local market for contemporary Nigerian art existed. Nearly a decade later, in April 2008, Arthouse Contemporary Limited held the first of a series of auctions that quickly became de rigueur events for a small but dedicated band of serious collectors. Their first auction netted N76 million ($630,000); just seven months later, a second auction brought in N93 million ($770,000). Arthouse owner Kavita Chellaram told Arise magazine in 2009 that the April auction had a 90 percent success rate. "The second one took place in the thick of the credit crunch when, in auction houses elsewhere in the world, sales had halved," she said. "We still managed to sell over 80 percent of the lots."
The auctions were a revelation. The appetite for Nigerian art was ravenous among local collectors. Onobrakpeya's panel work "Greater Nigeria" sold for a record-setting N9.2 million ($75,000); Yusuf Grillo's "Blue Moon" for N8.8 million ($72,000). When the London auction house Bonhams held its first "Africa Now" auction in 2009 – a show dominated by Nigerian artists – the country for the first time seemed to be carving out a small but vocal niche in the global art world. Yet the burgeoning scene in Lagos – like so much in this megacity – is largely booming behind closed doors. "How much is known of the local collections being put together now in Lagos?" asks Jess Castellote, in his preface to the gorgeous coffee-table tome, Contemporary Nigerian Art in Lagos Private Collections. "How many people outside a small circle of art enthusiasts in Nigeria are aware that several of the top collectors in Lagos acquire an average of 100 contemporary art works per year and that these works are not kept in New York, London or Brussels, but in Lagos? How many people know that in Lagos alone, there are well over a hundred full time visual artists living off their work?"
Private collectors are driving the market, but even the most avid buyers, like Yemisi Shyllon and Sammy Olagbaju, are relative unknowns to the general public. Clearly the booming art market is benefiting from the broader economic surge across Nigeria, and the emergence of a professional class with the disposable income to nurture it. (Shyllon is an engineer; Olagbaju, a banker.) The fact that many of these collectors spent significant portions of their lives abroad has no doubt helped to import the Western idea of art as a status symbol. It can be a worthwhile investment, too. Peter Areh, owner of Lagos' Pendulum Art Gallery, told Arise, "Before now, people were looking to stocks and shares [as investment vehicles], but when they began to see that you could buy art for one naira today and sell it for three naira tomorrow, the market expanded."
The lots at Terra Kulture are moving briskly. My companion Uzo – who was born in Nigeria, but only recently returned after schooling in the States – is busily making notations in the margins of her catalog. She's just begun to take an interest in the local art scene, dabbling, dipping a toe in, not sure whether her interest is the start of something – collecting? curating? – or a passing phase. Like so many of the restless young returnees I've met these past two weeks in Lagos, Uzo is looking for her niche here. You see them in Bogobiri, hunched over their MacBooks, fussing with business plans and proposals. There's a gold-rush mentality among them, a sense of impending fortunes to be made with the right idea. If not a new app or a VOD platform for Nigerian movies, why not art? Certainly this world has its own aphrodisiac appeal; during a round of fierce bidding for one hotly contested lot, the spiraling figures send a nervous buzz through the crowd. The build-up is excruciating, exquisite. When the hammer drops and the painting finally sells for more than N8 million, the ovation is swift and spontaneous. There is something distinctly Lagosian about our applause at this spirited burst of spending. The effect it has on the room is contagious. When the lot number is called just a few minutes later of a painting Uzo has had her eye on all night, she gets a restless itch. The bidding stalls at N150,000 – just under a thousand bucks, an amount she's trying to talk herself into. But she's too slow to decide; the hammer falls. She sighs, scribbles the final bid in her catalog, and dog-ears the page for future reference.
After the last lot is called and the crowd files out, you can feel the high mood of the night beginning to dissipate. A certain uneasiness, an unfulfillment, settles in the bones. Uzo – still readjusting after years in the Pacific Northwest – admits there's a degree of ennui to the Lagos life. "When you spend some time here, Lagos is so small," she says. "You can only hear so many times about someone's big house, their new car, their trips to Ibiza."
I'm reminded of a conversation I had one morning at Bogobiri, when Chike, the hotel's charismatic co-owner, was bemoaning the country's "sleepy middle class," who spend their days burying their heads in office work and their nights knocking back overpriced drinks at the Radisson Blu. I could picture them, the same Nigerians you see on billboards and in TV ads, cheerful families in bright dresses and polo shirts eating Indomie instant noodles and washing their hands with anti-bacterial soap. It's hard for me to begrudge them their sanitized, corporate-branded happiness. But Chike was resolute. The long-simmering insurrection in the Delta was still on a low boil, he said; the violence in the north had grown increasingly harder to contain, and was threatening to spread south. Across the country, there were deeply entrenched issues of economic inequality that no one had the courage to address. "We're a nation at war," said Chike. "People don't realize that."
"The middle classes are looking after themselves," said John, the publisher of an educational magazine. "That's the reason there was no African Spring, or Nigerian Spring. Even at the bottom, there's a greedy spirit. People are just fighting for themselves."
There is more than a shred of truth to this. Across classes and cultures, Nigerians are famously complacent. What shocked – and heartened – so many about January's Occupy Nigeria protests was that for the first time, millions of Nigerians were able to cut across class lines and find common cause with one another. (Worth noting is the fact that it took removal of the fuel subsidy – one of the few tangible goods from which all Nigerians benefit – to do it.) Should such unity be so hard? For decades this country was ruled by a succession of military strongmen, followed by elected leaders whose track record has been spotty at best. Corruption, repression, thievery, and brutal thuggery have been systemic and indiscriminate for so long that you'd imagine victimhood alone would serve as a kind of rallying cry. Yet here you run into the curious inverted logic of Nigerian life, where the government's crimes and failures, coupled with a general malaise, have instead turned the average Nigerian into an island, cut off from his neighbors. The admirable self-reliance you so often find has a darker political dimension: it allows the country's leaders to – often literally – get away with murder. Without accountable leaders, Nigerians are forced to fend for themselves; and because they're accustomed to doing so, they end up lacking both the willpower and the political muscle to hold their leaders accountable. "If there's no water, you go get a bucket," a man once told me. "If there's no light, you turn on the generator."
Speaking with Chike and John that morning, I found myself in the middle of a very Nigerian sort of conversation – one in which political, social and economic decline are directly tied to a general moral waywardness, a straying from Providence and Scripture. "There are no fruits of Christianity in this country," said Chike. "It doesn't matter if you are a Christian or a Muslim, because it has no bearings on your day to day life. If you are Christian, you go to church for two hours on a Sunday morning, and that's it." The pastors, he said, were a farce: they passed around the collection plate, passed it again, and only after the second offering did they spray the congregation with holy water. The worshippers pushed and shoved, muscling their way forward to receive his blessing. And the country's leaders were no better, hollowed out by a cancerous moral rot. Someone mentioned in passing that the former military ruler Ibrahim Babangida had recently been seen in a wheelchair; he had a young boyfriend who had "almost tore apart his rectum." "This is what they're getting up to," said Chike. A look of disgust passed across his face. It was as if some Biblical prophecy had come to pass, with even the decrepit infrastructure and the failures of NEPA part of some broader judgment. "The Lord said let there be light, and there is darkness in Nigeria," he said.
Driving toward the mainland later that week, I notice a government billboard proclaiming, "The sun shines on all Nigerians, no matter who." This might be true, for the sun does not discriminate; but the fruits of Nigerian life, as Chike pointed out, are more fickle. The shops along Awolowo Road – AV Posh Interiors, Exclusive Lights, The Great Room ("…bespoke interior design") – are no more meant for all Nigerians than the lunch menu at Chardonnay or the velvet-roped bacchanals of Bacchus. Yet this is true of any society; and, again, it is hard for me to begrudge a man his happiness on the sole basis that he's managed to succeed in a country where most haven't. Not all the wealth in Nigeria has been plundered; not every hand has been tainted by some ill-gotten government contract, a 419 scam, a dash. This might seem like an obvious point; yet so much of what seems obvious to me here in Lagos would seem less so if you were reading the morning news in New York, or Sydney, or Berlin.
One afternoon I'm having drinks with a friend in her apartment on V.I. – a beautiful penthouse pad with 180-degree views looking across creeks and mangroves toward the harbor, and the distant blue-gray smudge of the Atlantic. Container ships chug through the narrow channel separating us from a small island dense with coconut palms. The island looks idyllic, untouched. I've read of secret hideaways dotting the lagoons surrounding Lagos, playgrounds of the rich and famous: an elite antithesis to the floating slums of Makoro. Late in the day the sun is dipping, the light softening. From the 13th floor of an apartment tower on one of the world's priciest pieces of real estate, it seems possible to keep Lagos – this manic, unhinged metropolis – at arm's length. But my friend tells me about the day she saw a bloated corpse drifting along the water below her window. A few days later, another. "That was really sobering, to see that," she says. "It makes you realize there's a whole different world out there. We're so safe and protected here."
After dinner her housekeeper tells us a popular story that has made the rounds in Lagos. A man is returning to Nigeria after 17 years abroad. His brother, who is a soldier, arrives at Murtala Muhammad to welcome the prodigal home from Germany. But the flight is delayed, and when he returns hours later, there is still no word of the arrival time. After a long wait, the man decides to go home, reasoning that his worldly brother can find a taxi to take him to his house in Ikoyi. It's late when the flight finally lands, and because the roads are dangerous, there is no taxi driver willing to drive to Ikoyi. The hotels near the airport are booked, so the driver suggests dropping the man at the police station, where he can pass the night safely until the driver returns for him in the morning. The next day, when he arrives at the police station, there's no sign of the man. The duty officers – who only arrived that morning for the day shift – have heard nothing of this man, who has mysteriously vanished in the night; they were only told of a confrontation with an armed robber, whose bullet-riddled corpse was left in a nearby ditch. Fearing the worst, the driver approaches the ditch and sees the body of the man he had brought there the night before. His heart is racing; he suspects foul play. He goes to the home of the man's brother in Ikoyi to tell him the horrible news. The soldier accompanies him to the station to make some inquiries, listening impassively to the same denials. But he recognizes his brother's clothing on one of the off-duty policemen, and the driver spots a suitcase the man was traveling with: it had been full of U.S. dollars, the man had told him, that he was bringing into the country. They say nothing and part outside. The soldier returns to Ikoyi and makes some calls to his army friends. A truck arrives, full of heavily armed soldiers. They return to the police station and begin shooting indiscriminately, killing dozens. "In fact, it was horrible," says the housekeeper, shaking her head. The bloodbath was total, a purge. To this day, the police station has never reopened. Within weeks, a low-budget movie had hit the streets of Lagos, elevating the story to myth. The housekeeper says I can find the movie at any DVD shop.
"That was this Nigeria at that time," she says.

TIL there is a 3rd deals.woot-cowboy :O
I'm CyberCowboy pretty much everywhere I'm at on the internet. Started back in 90's when I was rodeoing and spending a lot of time in cyberspace, it became my Compuserve name and stuck.
Awesome find. Thanks!
strange but the detail says
" The credit expires on May 31, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PST."
Looks like @cowboydann has a protege... no one wants to be an Indian?
@themave: yea Usually they have an expire date, but I couldn't find one (didn't look close enough apparently) thanks for adding that.
@themave: Maybe a typo?
However, you do have a limited time to Tweet:
"To receive this offer, you must click the button above to follow Amazon Instant Video on Twitter and tweet the above message between April 27,2012 at 12:00 AM PST and May 1, 2012, at 11:59 PM PST."
Not sure whats up w/ typo on expiration date, but confirming it worked for me. I got an episode of peanuts for and an episode of Lunar Jim for and both were charged for .00
Cool. Thanks
@snooty2toes: Probably because they didn't want Amazon sending tweets through them. Or don't have twitter.
Just tweet, then delete,
and still get your 3 bucks.
@cybercowboy: not say "hatters gonna hate", for a start.
I haven't tried out this amazon product yet. Thanks!
An error has occurred while trying to connect with Twitter. Please try refreshing this page. If the problem persists, please try again later.
Keeps giving me that error :(
@jeremytheindian: Pffftt... @cowboydann was my protege :)
@capguncowboy: @cowboydann: Awwwww snap.
Worked for me...nice find...
@jeremytheindian: Truefax, I learned everything I know from him, also he was black triangle first :P Funny thing is @cybercowboy has been wooting longer than both of us, while my account was created in 2009 I had only checked it out about 10 times in between then and when I made my first woot purchase back in june of 11.
They make it so easy
I'm an active wooter, not so active in forums or deals though. I'm not even sure exactly what I need for the black triangle.
This one went smooth as silk!
If you want to unlink your Twitter account after collecting your $3, go here:
Thanks for this one. MI4 Ghost Protocol for 99 cents? Here I come!
99 cents for a rental isnt a bad gig at all good find
Nice!! Thanks OP!
Here is why I won't do this and will downvote it, as much as I love Amazon:
It wants me to install a Twitter app to "Authorize Amazon to use your account" to:
Update your profile.
Post Tweets for you.
I have no apps authorized on my account and won't allow this one. Am I wrong or being too cautious?
@jrhusc: Totally entitled to do as you wish, however as has been said multiple times you can have it send a single tweet, get your $3 and then unauthorize the app and never have it send it again.
That said I've had the Amazon app connected to my twitter account for about a year and a half and it has never caused a problem or sent a tweet without asking first.
@jrhusc: Or you could just create another Twitter account just for this and authorize the app. No need to use your primary account.
This is biased against those who do not have Twitter. Sad face.
linked, tweeted, got $3, revoked, deleted. All in under 2 minutes.
@sfcchase: Yes. I ended up doing just that.
@thedogma: similar to how the deals that aren't free are biased to those who don't have money.

"The heart of the resources for formative practice is the digital library, an online, interactive clearinghouse for educators, as well as families and students that will be user-friendly, searchable and collaborative," she said. As a member of the consortium, Wallace and other members will "vet, identify and submit resources to the digital library."
Wallace has served West Liberty University as a fellow in its Institute for Innovation in Education for several years. The Institute for Innovation in Education's mission is to advance education through innovation in teaching, learning, leadership and entrepreneurship and to develop new plans and programs to advance the academic mission of WLU.
He holds advanced degrees from Ohio University, George Peabody College for Teachers at Vanderbilt University and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and has served in cabinet positions in Ohio, as a health care CEO and a senior school district administrator. He is a longtime member of the graduate faculty at Muskingum University, has taught at universities in four states, is a licensed school superintendent in three states and writes syndicated monthly newspaper columns on a variety of public policy issues.
SELECTED: West Liberty University's Angela Rehbein, assistant professor of English, has been selected as a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Scholar. Her fellowship award includes a $3,900 stipend and participation in a seminar.
She was one of 16 teachers selected from a large number of applicants from throughout the United States chosen to attend one of the seven summer seminars for college and university teachers, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Rehbein will participate in the seminar, "Reassessing British Romanticism." This five-week program will be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and will be directed by Stephen C. Behrendt, George Homes Distinguished University professor of English at the University of Nebraska.
Rehbein joined the faculty of WLU in 2011. Prior to that she was employed at the University of Missouri, from 20062011 as a graduate teaching assistant, where she also served with the Center for Distance and Independent Study from 2010-11.
She earned a bachelor's degree in English from Fairmont State in 2002, a master's degree in English at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2005 and a doctorate of English degree from the University of Missouri in 2011. Her research specialties are in 18th century British literature, British women writers, postcolonial literature and theory and women's and gender studies.
The NEH is a federal agency that each summer supports seminars and institutes that make it possible for teachers from a broad variety of institutions to work in collaboration with peers and to study with experts to improve their skills.
BENEFIT COUPONS: Local residents can eat good and do good through a program offered by neighborhood McDonald's restaurants through July 14.
For just $2, McDonald's customers can purchase a coupon book filled with deep discounts for their most popular products, including Big Macs, fries, Egg McMuffins, Premium McWraps and several McCafe beverages. The books include coupons for Steelers and Penguins merchandise and Herr's snack products at Walgreen's.
All proceeds from coupon book sales will benefit local chapters of Ronald McDonald House Charities. Last year's coupon book fundraiser generated almost $80,000 for RMHC chapters in Pittsburgh, Morgantown, Erie and Altoona.
Ronald McDonald House Charities provide a home away from home for families of seriously ill children who travel to distant hospitals in search of life-saving medical care for their children. RMHC also provides grants to nonprofit organizations that helps improve the lives of local children in the areas of health and medical research, education and the arts and civic and social services, according to officials.
For information, go to www.rmhc.org.
NOMINATED: Bordas & Bordas founding partner Jim Bordas has been nominated to the West Virginia Access to Justice Commission.
Nominated by the West Virginia State Bar and Chief Justice Brent D Benjamin, Bordas will work with the commission to identify barriers faced by West Virginians when using the civil legal system.
He also will assist with addressing existing and proposed laws and regulations that may adversely affect access to justice in West Virginia.
"It seems all too often the poor and minorities feel they are without a voice in their everyday problems that sometimes can only be resolved by the courts and those who work within the justice system," Bordas said. "It is my hope and intention through my efforts on this very important commission to promote ways for those disenfranchised people to obtain the benefit of counsel when sought.
"This is not to say that one will be guaranteed legal representation but rather a person will be promised an ear to hear their concerns and or complaints so as to be provided direction for assistance even though an answer may be 'you have no claim based upon the facts." Certainly the goal of every person in the justice system should be to listen attentively and to treat all those whom with whom we have contact with the greatest respect."
Bordas & Bordas, based in Wheeling with offices in Ohio, practices throughout the region.

GENESEO, N.Y. - The State University of New York at Geneseo has received recognition for demonstrating a voter turnout rate higher than the national average for college students in the 2008 presidential election.
Tufts University awarded Geneseo an honorable mention in its 2008 Campus Votes Challenge for achieving a turnout of an estimated 65 percent. Geneseo was among more than 40 undergraduate colleges and universities across the nation who participated and one of 15 to receive an honorable mention. Tufts calculated the national average for voter turnout among all 18-24 year-old college students to be 59.7 percent.
"Much of the credit for Geneseo's good response goes to student organizers who strongly encouraged their fellow students to register and vote," said Tom Matthews, director of Geneseo's Leadership Education, Development and Training program. "They organized candidate forums, residence hall functions related to the election and did a great job of mobilizing students in getting them interested in selecting the next leader of our country."
Voting rates for the contest were calculated with assistance from students at participating institutions, who gave permission to have their votes verified against the public voter records by an independent, third-party organization. The records only indicate whether or not an individual voted and do not include how a person voted.

I would usually call the waiter by trying to catch his eye or raising my hand eventually. But I suppose there are other customs depending on the region of the world. What are those? Is snapping ones fingers always considered impolite?
In Western countries, it's usually best to be discreet about it. When in doubt, always look around and see what the others are doing, in a normal-sized restaurant there would be always people around ordering and clamoring for attention, so get some clues from there as well.
Generally, I'd usually try to make eye contact the waiter and communicate my desires without them having to come around, i.e. if I'd like to ask for the check I'd make a discrete gesture as if signing a paper, most waiters (especially in restaurants) would understand what I mean, even if we don't quite speak the same language. If I just want to order more of the same (most likely, beer or wine) I'd point to it and raise a finger or two. This applies even more for busy places where waiters are always running around, and their efficiency is key.
To draw their attention for other purpose, I'd slightly nod upwards and maybe raise two fingers slightly when I'm sure they see me, that usually does the trick.
I wouldn't raise my hand unless waiters continuously ignore me, and I wouldn't raise my voice to be heard -- I'd speak to them when they pass around me. However, inordinate waiting times would reflect on the tip I leave in the end, if any.
I also make it a point to always be polite and considerate with service personnel, even in countries where some degree of servitude is common.

I have a raw material which melts at $96\ ^\circ C$. My aim is to make water content evaporate at temperature below this temperature. I can apply vaccume oven for this. I want to know at what pressure the water evaporates by keeping low temperature so that the material doesn't melt.
Water will evaporate as long as the relative humidity of the surrounding air is below 100%, although the process may be (very) slow. You seem to be confusing evaporation with boiling, but you don't need to boil the water in the material to dry it.
It depends a lot on your configuration, but you are probably better off blowing hot dry air over your material than creating a vacuum, because then water vapor molecules will be moving away from the surface of your material by diffusion, which is normally a much slower process than convection.
Still, if you want to boil the water content of your material, your guide should be the vapor pressure of water at your temperature of choice, which you can check here. As an example, the vapor pressure at $90\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}$ is $70\ \mathrm{kPa}$, so if you heat your sample to that temperature and have a vacuum of less than $0.7\ \mathrm{atm}$, there will be boiling.

About The Manufacturer
Related Categories
An Italian designer best known (and justly famous) for his Bertoia Diamond Lounge Chair, and the whole series of chairs and tables that followed from that design. A proponent of leaving space and air in his designs, Bertoia was a pioneer in using bent steel as a design tool and material, which led to the creation of durable, reproducable, and delicate looking chairs and tables.
Bertoia is without a doubt in the pantheon of great designers, and must be included amongst the greatest of the mid-century movement, including Mies van der Rohe and Eero Saarinen. In fact, Harry worked on the production of the Eames Molded Plywood Division of the Evans Product Company, and even made wedding rings for Charles and Ray Eames. In the 1950's, Harry Bertoia designed his wire chair collection, which remains one of the most recognizable forms in the designer furniture world.
