Kuznetsova's Building of the Baikal-Amur-Main (1976): Paleckh Lacquer Miniature According to Marxism, Social History of Art and Semiotics.
Alyssa Ovadis
Palekh; its history is a striking example of how wisely the revolution can link the past with the present. Palekh will always represent poetic images of the people.
—M. Gorky [1]
Kuznetsova's Building of the Baikal-Amur-Main (Fig.1) [2], a 1976 Palekh lacquered miniature box painted during the time of the Soviet Union, could be regarded as a "striking example of how wisely the revolution can link the past with the present" [3]. This work shows a typical Soviet subject matter; however, Palekh art is not specific to the Soviet era. In fact, the village of Palekh is known for its miniature paintings from as long as the 17th century. Kuznetsova's lacquer box is therefore part of a larger scope of works, which could be described as a "miniature painted on a box or case with a dynamic composition and distinctive coloring, in which vermillion fused with exquisite gold patterns … heightened by a black background" [4]. Palekh art could arguably separate into three distinct time periods: the pre-Soviet era, the Soviet era, and the post-Soviet era, each reflecting the socio-political state of Russia at its time. A clear pattern of this sociopolitical reflection emerges through comparison of Kuznetsova's Building of the Baikal-Amur-Main (the Soviet era), with works of its past (the pre Soviet era) on the one hand, and works of its future, (the post-Soviet era) on the other hand. In order to get a better understanding of this pattern, it is essential to analyze Kuznetsova's Building of the Baikal-Amur-Main from a sociopolitical perspective. It would therefore be useful to discuss the work first through semiotics, then through social art history and finally through Marxism.
A semiotics approach presupposes an understanding of a work's meaning through a deciphering of its signs, "semioticians share an interest in understanding how people and societies utilize signs to embody meanings and values and to communicate them to one another" [5]. A semiotics approach of Kuznetsova's Building of the Baikal-Amar-Main therefore assumes a clear visual description of the work. The general theme of this miniature seems to be construction and the work itself appears to be separated into four distinct parts: construction of a bridge, construction of a railroad, cutting of trees, and protest or celebration. In terms of color, this lacquer painting is typical of Palekh miniature art, it has a black background and vermillion colors that stand out. The clearly equal proportion of trees, machines and people in this work may suggest the feeling of a thematic that focuses on the transformation of landscape (nature) into construction, a transformation that alludes to the economic revolution. And so the train, at the very center of the miniature, seems to travel at high speed, as if embodying, in and of itself, the tone of this revolution. Green appears to prevail, being the color of the trees as well as the train. However, the color red also plays an important part in this miniature. At first, it may seem somewhat hidden within this prevalent green, yet it clearly plays its ideological role in details. In fact, the red flag is a central communist symbol of this miniature. According to Morel, red is the color of revolt, violence and revolution [6] and flags permit identification of individuals to a community. It has a rallying role, one of federation and even propaganda [7]. The star on the train may be a symbol of extraversion, production and dynamism, while the train itself suggests a vector of evolution, as well as a pathway towards good [8]. The groups of people working together refer to kolkhozes, a Soviet installation that regroups individual farmers into small communities that work and share everything together. A semiotic analysis of this painting therefore suggests a communist iconography and can be seen within a series of other Soviet Palekh art, which includes other fundamental communist imagery as well. A vocabulary of ritual was in place. It included such concrete symbols as the worker's hammer and peasant's sickle, and the more abstract forms of spotlights, red bunting, and futuristic designs evoking the striving and utopian ambitions of the new state [9].
Interestingly, however, a semiotic analysis of Kuznetsova's work may perhaps not only be based on what signs are present, but also, seemingly, on which signs are absent. In fact, this miniature completely lacks religious symbolism. This is important because religious symbolism was once essential to Palekh art and its exclusion is an equally important symbol in and of itself, it shows the Soviet abstinence to religion, and thus implies a change in the government"s agenda, from a pre-Soviet to a Soviet era. The exclusion of symbols is telling of Pierce"s discussion on semiotics, "a sign cannot be defined in terms of the system to which it belongs, say gestures or dance steps, but must be interpreted in the light of the way it has previously been understood" [10]. Arguably, the signs of communism that are integrated into this miniature (the actions, the objects, the colors) are propaganda. It idealizes communism through the people, who are depicted in relation to their happiness. Hilton mentions this idealization of figures as being typical to Soviet art, "healthy bodies, plentiful food, colorful garments, bright sunlight, and happy faces also supported the optimistic propaganda of Socialist Realist depiction of holidays" [11].
The signs in this specific miniature can be regarded as object symbols, defined as "material things or representation of material things of special significance, which are transported by members of the group to the demonstration" [12]. Within Kuznetsova's work, object symbols would thus include the red flag, the star, and all the symbols of construction. However, upon looking at other Soviet Palekh art, the other two types of symbols emerge: time symbols, defined as "dates, which commemorate events of special importance to protest groups and which occur at least once a year (that is, on anniversaries) thereafter" [13], and place symbols, defined as "specific locations at which events of special importance to the protest group took place or which are expressly dedicated by the group to such experience" [14]. An example of time symbols would be Soviet Palekh miniature lacquer boxes depicting the holiday of May first, such as Yermolaev's 1975 Palekh celebrates the First of May (Fig. 2) [15], and an example of place symbols would be Soviet Palekh miniature lacquer boxes depicting revolutionized Moscow, such as Smirnov's 1960 Moscow Kremlin (Fig. 3) [16]. The idea of utopia, often linked to Communist thought, is also present in Soviet Palekh art. According to Bloch, the fairy-tale aspect of these lacquer miniatures functions as an allegory to suggest the underlying propaganda of Communism as a Utopic regime [17]. Interestingly, a semiotics analysis of these works is not unusual for the Soviet Union since it seem as though the creation of these works of art was itself based on semiotics. In fact, Volosinov writes on the subject of ideology, language and semiotics, arguing that "the domain of ideology coincides with the domain of signs. They equate one another. Wherever a sign is present, ideology is present, too. Everything ideological possesses semiotic value" [18].
A socio art historical approach presupposes an understanding of a work's meaning through the tracing of changes and evolution of the beliefs and values of a society and its people during a certain time. Analyzing Kuznetsova's Building of the Baikal-Amur-Main in such a context presupposes an understanding of Russia's evolution into the Soviet Union as well as the Soviet Union"s evolution into Russia. The Soviet Union should therefore be regarded as a middle ground between the pre Soviet era and the post-Soviet era. It will therefore be necessary to see in which way Palekh art, an art of the people, is able to reflect the status of its country. With a look at past and future works, it will be possible to identify these pieces with social realism, the intertwining between art and society, since "all genuine art leads us by a detour, which may be longer or shorter, back to reality in the end" and since "a work of art is communication" [19]. Likewise, it will be important to note that this lacquer miniature is an artwork that becomes an active piece of culture; it is itself "part of a historical process" [20]. Palekh miniatures, which have always been an art of the people, are here again directed towards popular mass, as propaganda within a familiar framework.
Historically, the artistic history of Palekh began with icon painting. And in fact, up until the revolution of 1917, which instated secular art, religious subject matter was central to Palekh art. This can be seen in an eighteenth or early nineteenth century Palekh icon, Transferring the Relics of St.Nicholas (Fig. 4) [21]. Russia of that time was highly religious, "the lively market for icons … suggested a profound religiosity among the Russian people" [22]. After the Revolution the demand for religious iconography fell "but despite the change from religious to secular themes … the artists of Palekh have preserved a continuity of style" [23]. Interestingly, a similar but inversed process occurs in 1991, at the fall of the Soviet Union. The secular Russian government of the USSR dives into a religious rebirth, bringing Church and State back to proximity. These changes can be seen through Palekh art as well, with miniatures such as Smirnova's 2001 Bible Stories (Fig. 5) [24]. While prior to the Soviet Union Palekh produced icon painting for a Russia that was highly religious, post Soviet Union Russia seems to be doing the same. In fact, post 1990's, the Soviet ideology has been replaced by a religious ideology. Keeping the original Palekh style, Palekh artists now focus on a new subject matter, a new propaganda, that of religion. Interestingly, however, the style of Palekh art itself does not seem to have changed from these ideological shifts. In fact, the style remains identical from nineteenth century icon painting to twentieth century representations of Stalin and partisans. Instead, there is only a change of subject matter, a change which embodies a whole new propaganda: "stylistically close to seventeenth-century icons and manuscript miniatures, the lacquer paintings of the 1920's and 1930's and later also reflected current events" [25]. They had the "ability to convey contemporary propaganda and at the same time retain its traditional elegance" [26].
The idea of using Palekh miniature lacquer painting as a ground for propaganda is a strategic one in itself. The government plays on the familiarity of this genre (Palekh), on the one hand, and the camouflaging of ideology, on the other: "familiar styles were intended to make the propaganda accessible and acceptable" [27] since a "nostalgic image reassured viewers that traditional patterns of life would continue under the new regime" [28]. In fact, the use of art as propaganda in the Soviet union, has been explicitly discussed by the government. "Krushchev has declared that art will be "directed in a planned way "as one of the most important intellectual weapons in the fight for communism" [29], with the goal of inspiring people by the "heroic struggle […] towards a new life" [30]. To answer the question of who such art is for, it can obviously be said that icon painting of the seventeenth century was for the people who acquired icons for their own spiritual use. While art is inevitably based on the government's agenda, the Soviet era nevertheless directed its art to the people and in one of Lenin's memorable speeches he declared that "art belongs to the people" [31]. Thus, in the same way as Clark's books "served to bring out the political implications of the work of Courbet and Manet within the historical horizons in which they were produced" and in the same way as they "suggested that the painting of these artists may have served an active role in the creation of social and political attitudes" [32], it could be argued that Palekh art also expresses the political implications of its time and, through propaganda, serves as an active role in the creation of social and political attitudes.
The question of the artist also emerges through a social study of the history of art. In fact, according to Plato, "the artist is an eccentric element in a well-ordered or egalitarian community … because he is an exception he becomes in some sense a parasite – but a not of the people, but of the elite whom he can flatter and amuse, and who will, in return, give him the means of subsistence" [33]. According to Read, such a parasite-artist process is clearly demonstrated "in Soviet Russia, where the artist is dependent for his very existence on the approval of a political minority" [34]. Such a dependence of the artist can thus be seen with Soviet Palekh miniature lacquer painting, which expresses the artist's uneasiness to this new subject matter. However, the artists have clearly no other choice but to adhere to this new political ideology in order for them to survive.
A Marxist approach presupposes an understanding of the artwork's meaning in relation to commodity. Tangherlini speaks of commodities as having "use value and exchange value. The use value of a commodity stems from its ability to satisfy human needs, and the exchange value stems from its fixed sum distribution" [35]. Palekh lacquer miniatures are part of popular art, art that is sometimes not considered as art, however, its relation to commodification went through important changes as the pre Soviet era evolved into the Soviet era, and as the Soviet era evolved into the post-Soviet era. In fact, in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, Palekh art was precious and more importantly it was an "author work". A limited amount of artists produced art in the village of Palekh, and they each had their own recognizable style associated to their work. The signature of the artist therefore played an important role in Palekh art. With the Soviet Union, however, a shift occurs. This shift affects not only the subject matter and ideology of Palekh art, but it also affects the status of the artist, making him less visible behind the work of art, "neither its place of origin nor the specific techniques of that time and that particular art form, nor imitation of or influences by preceding works, … nor the biography of the artist … none of this interests Idealist aesthetics". Thus, the work of art becomes, "to this way of thinking … truly a windowless monad, closed off in its … insularity" [36]. The Soviet era brought about the transition of art for art's sake to strictly a commodity.
With the post-Soviet era, that is, with the arrival of capitalism, the transformation is complete. Palekh lacquer miniature boxes have become commodities in the modern day capitalist Russia. They are now mass-produced and almost completely alienated from any authorship. They are disconnected from their authors as nothing is known about the production process. Interestingly, it can usually be said that a commodity evolves into art (such as Warhol's Campbell Soup); however, in this case, it can be said that art has evolved into a commodity. This is mainly seen through tourism and the purchase of souvenirs since Palekh miniature lacquered boxes are one of the main products to be seen in Russian souvenir stores. They have become kitsch and it is the trajectory from pre-Soviet to post-Soviet era that traces the evolution from seventeenth century icon painting to twenty first century kitsch art. Wood argues this specificity of commodities, which are now governing what was once known as Russian art and has now become a product.[37] Once again, the issue of the artist as creator recurs. In fact, in the same way as ideology and propaganda are often inevitable rules by which artists survive, commodity also seems to have this survival aspect attached to it.[38] Another problem of the commodified Palekh lacquered miniature boxes is the concept of reproduction. Since most of these works are being mass produced, they are no longer hand painted. Likewise, they may carry the name of Palekh, but they are actually produced in Moscow, in St-Petersburg, or in factories of Siberia. The commodity therefore has a problem with aura and authenticity, or rather, with the lack of it.
Even the most perfect reproduction of a work of art is lacking in one elements: its presence in time and space, is unique existence at the place where it happens to be … The presence of the original is the prerequisite to the concept of authenticity [39]. Palekh art is thus entering a new age, the age of mechanical reproduction, and age in which the aura of the work of art is what withers, "the technique of reproduction detaches the reproduced object from the domain of tradition. By making many reproductions it substitutes a plurality of copies for a unique existence" [40]. Another characteristic of commodities is that there is always an immediate pleasure of looking at them. With Palekh art, there is this same visual attraction. In fact, it is once again this visual, colorful, attraction, the beauty of these boxes, which attracts viewers and buyers, and which camouflages the stranger (the political ideology) in the work. Propaganda therefore works as a commodity by visually attracting the buyer (with colors, familiarity, allusion to previous Palekh art) and then swallowing him with subtle allusions to politics and economics.
All three art historical methods: the semiotics, social history of art and Marxist approaches, appear to meet into one single interpretation. They all seem to arrive at the same conclusion. A conclusion that deals with the notion that Kuznetsova's Building of the Baikal-Amur-Main is a work of propaganda, which introduces the ritual vocabulary of communism into the stylistic framework of the Palekh tradition. An overview of this work, as it is placed within a wider range of Palekh art, implies the idea that it mirrors Russia's socio-political state at a given time. These three art historical methods thus appear to be complimentary in revealing the underlying connections between politics and art in Russia.
Through them emerges a clear view of the manner in which on one hand, a nation's traditional artifact (such as Palekh art) skillfully adapts to the needs of the current regime in order to survive in this very regime; and on the other, how that regime uses and abuses of this very artifact in order to implement an ideology of its own in a context, familiar to the nation.

referee Paul Devorksi told him that he had gotten his 10-minute miuosndcct for going after a superstar.""He specifically told me I got it because [Kovalchuk] is a superstar, and I can't go after a superstar," Avery said of the dialog that took place in the box with 9:07 to go in the second. "I told him I make $4 million. I'm a superstar, too."Thats crazy if its true

Sometimes it's a missed reservation, sometimes a restaurant that doesn't quite measure up to it's hype, and in this case… it's the postal service. The postal service has interrupted my noms.
A while back I entered a contest – the Gluten-Free box giveaway. The premise is the business owner has put together a delicious assortment of items – all gluten-free. It's a great idea for a gift for someone who is eliminating gluten from their diet (either because of allergies or general health choices) for birthdays, or thank-you gifts. The business owner also suggested it would be a great care package for a university student, and I thought it would be awesome to leave for the pet/house-sitter or babysitter. Other than just trying a few new tasty things, I also thought it would be great just as pantry-filler for when gluten-free guests come over (since so often our house would be a snack wasteland for those who have gluten sensitivity!).
But… the postal service has interrupted my noms. I won a mini-pack to sample some of the items, but the package never arrived! I can only imagine that the postal service has either lost the package or redirected it somewhere else. Could it be a problem of crossing the border between Canada and the USA?
I've been having a few struggles with postal issues lately. I ordered a shirt from Toronto-based independent (typically one-of-a-kind) designer Toxic Vision, and it never arrived. I had hoped to wear it to a concert, but then the designer ended up re-making the shirt and it finally arrived well past my anticipated arrival date. Too late for the concert, but I'm sure I'll find another occasion to wear it! I also placed a VIP order for the reunion tour of Moist – one of my favorite (soft) metal bands back in High School, and the poster that was supposed to come with the order didn't come. I wrote and let them know, and it did arrive… long after the concert itself mind you; too late to have it signed by the band.
Right now I have a huge order of CDs and other music merchandise coming from Finland's Levykauppa Ax, including new releases by Stam1na, Amoral, and Metsatoll, along with a host of others… here's hoping it doesn't get delayed (or worse!) too!
If you're a business person who relies on the postal service to deliver your goods, have you had any challenges lately with Canadian deliveries? If you're a Canadian, have you noticed your packages taking longer or higher frequencies of getting lost than before? Or do I just have bad luck? Comment in the field below!
On that note, if you're in Calgary.. these delicious cupcakes in this post are from the Gluten-Free Foodgasm bakery I've blogged about before.. go nom!

They walked a prospective circuit through the woods and this was estimated at .75 km. SAC will help develop a specification for the composition of the path and from there a costing can be fixed and this will form the basis of any funding requests.
SAC have provided maps that show areas where the land is held in private ownership. FHMCC will make contact to understand the owners position.
Please be aware that the community council can access funding from sources closed off from South Ayrshire Council hence this approach. As our project moves forward we will keep the connection with SAC and our neighbouring Community Council, Belmont, Kincaidston.

Medallion Signature Guarantee
What is a Medallion Signature Guarantee?
The Medallion Signature Guarantee is used for selling, redeeming or transferring securities, such as stocks, bonds or mutual funds. The transfer agent requires the signature of the owner(s) of the securities to be "guaranteed" by a financial institution before they will act upon the transaction request. The Medallion Signature Guarantee procedure is more complex than a notarized signature procedure.
Since Chicago Municipal Employees Credit Union accepts liability for any forgery, we are required to verify more information than is needed for a signature to be notarized.
Why do I need Medallion Signature Guarantee's?
One of the main purposes of the Signature Guarantee is to protect the securities owner(s) by preventing fraudulent transfers. When Chicago Municipal Employees Credit Union processes a Signature Guarantee, we are not only verifying that your signature is genuine, but that you are the appropriate person to sign the request, and that you are acting within your legal capacity to sign the transaction request form.
What do I need to bring to the Credit Union if I need a Signature Guarantee?
In order to expedite the Medallion Signature Guarantee process, please bring the following:
- 2 forms of identification, one being an un-expired photo identification such as a drivers license or state issued ID card
- a document proving your ownership of the security you wish to sell, redeem, or transfer, such as a recent account statement
- verification of the approximate value of the securities involved
- in special cases, we may need other documents that demonstrate your legal capacity to act on the account (for example a will, power of attorney documents, trust documents, death certificate, small estate affidavit, etc.)
- all joint owners of the security, as they will also need to sign. The joint owners will also need to be present and to present two forms of identification
We have the ability to process signature guarantees on transactions up to $100,000. If your transaction is larger than this, please contact the issuer of your security to request assistance in finding another local Signature Guarantor to handle your request. To ensure prompt and accurate service, please call ahead and the our staff will fill you in on all details of what documents you will need and with whom you will meet when you arrive.

Human rights on the Internet
''We should fight crime, including on the Internet, but not at the expense of freedom of expression''. Kristian Bartholin, Deputy Secretary to the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention, summed up the discussion in this edition of ''View Point'', Europe's first human rights talk show.
Using the metaphor of a group of diverse people trapped in a hole, before breaking free, this video spot encourages people of all backgrounds not to tolerate discrimination of any kind.
View Point - Death Penalty
The Council of Europe pushes its campaign for worldwide abolition into new territory with this in-depth look at "why death is not justice", and focuses on how the criminal justice system can deal with offenders.

Healthy Tips for Traveling Professionals
Planning Ahead Can Go a Long Way
For those with jobs that require travel, balanced diets have a tendency of being forgotten or left in the departure drop-off lane, right? It's OK—we understand that long airport layovers, stressful meetings and lengthy agendas can take a toll on our bodies, mentally and physically, which is why we want to help. Staying fit on the go will not only maintain your health and well-being but can also improve your business performance. With that said, let's look at some ways to stay healthy on those tiring business trips.
Set Boundaries
When you dine out, the temptation to try the tastiest (and sometimes heaviest) meals on the menu seems inevitable, but luckily, there are ways to satisfy your taste buds without going overboard on the calories. SparkPeople offers the following tips:
- Limit fried foods and select baked, broiled or grilled options whenever possible
- Portion size is important
- Choose entrees or sandwiches with fewer than 250 calories and no more than 10 grams of fat, or entire meals that have no more than 500 calories with fewer than 20 grams of fat
In addition, ask for dressings on the side and load up on veggies (whether steamed or very lightly sautéed in olive oil). When it comes to the alcoholic beverages that find their way into dinner meetings, it's important to sidestep high-calorie drinks like the Long Island Ice Tea, White Russian and Margarita. Instead, try diet-friendly choices like light red wine, light beer or simple mixes with low-sodium and fresh juices, club soda, seltzer water, sparkling water or diet soda.
Pack Snacks
Packing wholesome snacks and sandwiches will help you curb hunger pangs while enabling you to stay in control of what you eat. Below are some suggestions for healthy eating en route to your destination.
- Fresh fruit
- Part-skim string cheese sticks
- Whole-grain crackers
- Homemade protein-rich sandwiches
- Veggie slices
- Low-calorie and heart-healthy nuts
If you simply cannot pack snacks ahead of time, you can request low-cal, low-fat choices at the airport—or whichever place you may be traveling from!
Keep It Moving
Taking the time to exercise should be a priority, even on the go. Keep in mind, though, that it shouldn't feel like work (since you are already traveling for work.)
For example, if you arrive early to the airport with much time to spare, or if you're feeling antsy during a long layover, you can walk up and down your terminal. Walking is surely one of the best ways to shake off hours of being seated, and it can prepare you for the rest of your journey.
Let's switch it over to the hotel room, where the envision of ordering room service and turning on your favorite television show seems heavenly. While it is, try to complete some kind of workout before getting comfortable—after all, doing something is always better than doing nothing. Hotel rooms are perfect for light aerobics like jumping jacks, or other exercises like push-ups, squats and lunges.
Entertain Yourself
We eat when we're bored. It happens. Psychology Today states that listening to a favorite band or treating yourself to a new audiobook could decrease your need to look for dopamine fixes in food. Other ways to entertain yourself in the midst of traveling? A book, laptop, magazine, crossword puzzle or an iPod loaded with music.
The importance of planning ahead and controlling your eating habits at home are the same as implementing a healthy eating strategy and staying active on the go. With low-calorie and nutrition-packed options for your business trips, you'll be able to stay slim, focused and motivated!

Ever thought what's happening under the road you traveling on? ever walked through those darkened subways below the roads. with Spray painted walls and beautiful graffitis jake and his friends with lots of enthusiasm and fearlessness jumping all over the trains of the cities. dodging down on tunnels and running fast as they can with a heavy cop chasing them with the donut in his hands.
Subway surfers, name describes itself. Surfing around the subways. It is a neverending endless running game . just dash dodge and run for life from the fatty cop chasing you. It's the little bit similar to Imangi game's temple run but it does not require sensors in your phone, you don't have to tilt up your phone to move your character left or right, Just dash it along. Swipe through 3 different lanes jump over the obstacles or dodge down to some other obstacles. While running through the abandon railways of the city you just have to collect as many coins as possible to unlock various widgets for your avatar. like new clothes, dashing headphones, booming jetpacks, jumpy pogo stick and none other than jake's favorite the groovy skateboard. Not just jake you can choose among jake's friends. what's making it worth playing for hours? the new and daring challenges. yes, you have to complete some amazing daily challenges to get yourself been ranked up on the leaderboard. connect your endless running daring game with facebook and challenge your friends to beat up your score. So guys, its time to pull up your socks to experience the new and never ending experience of running through subways.!
the game comes under the genre of an arcade. So exciting and easy to play. even a toddler can play beat your high score in it. it gets intense after every few miles your player run. there are very few things you need to take care about.
Swipe up with your finger on the screen to make the jake jump, to overcome your hurdles between the train tracks and also to collect coins, the player does not jump high enough until you have super sneakers.
Swipe your finger down to roll to pass through the low obstacles. 3.Swipe right and left to switch the lanes.
Double tap the screen to activate your hoverboard Which helps you to collect more coins will protect you from crash
Collect glowing power-ups for boosts. There are four different powerups that you'll come across while playing:
Jetpack - Makes you fly above the train track and lets you grab additional coins.
Super Sneakers - Makes you jump higher.
Coin Magnet - You'll attract any nearby coins without having to touch them.
2x Multiplier - Doubles your current score multiplier (e.g. x4 now becomes x8).
1.You will see some tracks which goes over the trains ,Choose them rather than being on ground beacause, they will help you to avoid hurdles and to collect more coins
2.Sometimes your timings doesnt get matched with your player , to be a horse of a long run jump over the small hurdles instead of rolling down, it will help you to move you player faster.
3.A hoverboard will prevent you from any crash. So for the long run it acts like elixir through your game . The time you hit the train while your are on your hoverboard , only the hoverboard will disappear not your player . Double tap your screen to activate your hoverboard
Android users can get this game from the play store, hough its iOS release took place last year, the new game by the creators of Subway Surfers wasn't previously available on Android until now. Blades of Brim is also an endless runner, but it's gorgeous aesthetics plus outstandingly refined gameplay easily make it one of the best titles within this genre.

The love story b/n 2 pple from different background (1 english, 1 mexican i think) the language barrier does not hinder the love blossoming b/n them. Not even the different country of birth! The story of 2 colleagues, secretly in love with each other, but the lady just couldn't afford to let go of her psychotic brother who requires her care & attention 24/7.

Terrance has been rated in the top 50 at his position by espn,invited to the reebok allamerican camp in Philly has been a standout player on every team he has played on.

Here is some additional info: Thomas also burned bridges by dropping 2 other recruits in the state of Florida, one of them was already signed! This young man has a 4.3 GPA in high school. This looks really bad.

The Wolfson High School coach has been winning and developing quality talent. He had a quard sign with Marquette also! Sounds like a high school that a coach would want to be on good term with.

Three high schools, each in a different area of the state (Orlando/central FL area, Jacksonville/notheast FLarea, & Pensacola/northwest FL area).

That is quite a negative start.

The Great New Zealand Pie Cart
Lindsay Neill
Publisher:Hachette New Zealand Ltd
Pie carts are a much-loved kiwi institution. In the 1950s and 1960s, in the days of the six o'clock swill and long before the advent of sophisticated cafe culture, where else could you be assured of a hot feed and a warm welcome, in any sizable New Zealand town? Colourful characters gathered around the cart, enjoying the company and the hot food. The menus were small and the food basic - but this was part of the appeal. Nothing fancy: just pies and sauce, sausages, maybe oysters in season, eventually burgers, sometimes chips. The carts remained popular throughout the 1970s, but are now an endangered species, gradually disappearing as the range of dining options have multiplied in every metropolis. The authors have travelled the country to capture the pie cart stories, before they become extinct. Illustrated with an extensive selection of photographs and graphics, this book is a warm tribute to the owners and operators of those quirky fixtures dotted around the country: the glorious pie carts.

DHL wins three categories at the 2006 Asia Logistics AwardsBonn, 10/11/2006, 11:30 AM CEST
Readers of Lloyd's Freight Transport Buyer Asia magazine have awarded three prizes to express and logistics company DHL at the 2006 Asia Logistics Awards. DHL was named Operator of the Year in the Express, Air Freight and Contract Logistics categories and is the only company to receive multiple awards this year. The company was also a finalist in the Sea Freight Forwarder, Project Forwarder and Ethical Responsibility categories. DHL is the runaway market leader in the express and logistics sector in the Asia Pacific region.
Criteria for the awards, which are highly regarded in Asia, include reliability, costs and level of customer service as well as the ability to be able to appreciate and understand the customer's business.
The awards follow a series of initiatives recently implemented by DHL in the region, including a US$110 million expansion of the Central Asia Hub, the launch of a strategic alliance with Malaysian air freight operator Transmile to expand current service offerings, US$3 million to build a logistics facility in Cengkareng, Indonesia, a US$1.58 million project to build a cargo hub facility at the Incheon International Logistics Center in Seoul as well as a state-of-the-art Asia Healthcare and Life Sciences Hub in Singapore.

CoolSculpting CoolMini
The latest CoolSculpting fat freezing innovation
CoolSculpting just got even better! CoolSculpting by Zeltiq have just launched a new CoolMini treatment applicator for double chin removal. The new CoolMini is an effective non-invasive alternative to double chin surgery and the good news is, the results are long-term. We have seen huge successes with this treatment already and the photograph below shows the results of a coolmini treatment.
This nifty little applicator has also been created to treat troublesome areas such as bra fat (inner arm bra fat), knees and ankles which were until now, notoriously difficult areas to treat.
How to lose chin fat with the new Coolmini?
The CoolMini procedure works in exactly the same way as our other CoolSculpting treatments, using controlled cooling to target and cool the fat cells beneath the skins surface (leaving the skin unaffected). Over time your body naturally eliminates these fat cells and once they're gone they're gone for good . After treatment, targeted fat cells are eliminated for good. Untreated areas will have no change in fat cell distribution.
Does this treatment require downtime?
As all other CoolSculpting procedures, it takes about an hour per area. You can return to normal activities immediately, without any tell-tale sign of anything having been done, apart from a little redness which usually disappears very quickly.
How long does it take to lose the fat?
You may start to see changes as quickly as 3 weeks after your treatment and will experience the most dramatic results after 2 months, but your body will continue to flush out fat cells for up to 3 to 6 months following treatment.

Waterfall has been working to transform the lives of people in remote communities in Gujarat and Rajasthan since 2011.
The Rajasthan region has arid deserts and water is a scarce commodity. Building wells in these areas has transformed the lives of people and animals, with people having to travel less to get clean drinking water, giving children access to a better quality of life, and minimizing disease.
We are pleased to report that just in 2015/2016, eight wells have already been completed in the Barmer district of Rajasthan, a region famous for its carved wooden furniture, hand block printing, and handicrafts.
Wells have been erected in Barsa, Hameerani, and Bane Ki Basti. These are simple villages where people make their living through agriculture and other small scale and cottage industries. The provision of wells has significantly enhanced the quality of life of those who reside in these villages.

Rated 5 out of 5 by grandmaL from Finally a solution to my problem!!! I am spring cleaning like I have never before. I have albums upon albums of pictures! At least 35 years of pictures! After going through each and every one, keeping pictures that would mean something when I hand them down to grandchildren and family, this is the greatest! I can label each storage case and still keep them all together. What a space saver! I have freed up 2 bookcases of albums! Most were dusty and some of the pictures were lose as time had ruined them. I might even order more for future pics taken and already have a great place to store them. This item is awesome!

Rated 5 out of 5 by bargin shopper from fantastic photo storage. I have several Each inner box holds 100 4x6 or smaller photos, with a secure snap on each small box, then the outER box is sturdy to hold the weight of the full containers, they can be stacked and have carrying handles on the outer case. It's made of heavy plastic. I have several of the larger cases that hold over 1000 photos, you can see the top photos through the 100 photo cases.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnieBananie from Excellent storage for photos and negatives I needed to organize my photos and negatives and this storage container is perfect! If I ever have to grab the container(s) in a hurry (in case of an emergency to evacuate my house due to fire danger for example) this photo storage container is PERFECT. I have wanted to have something like this for a very long time and am glad I bought two. Previously I had purchased a larger one from LTD and am very pleased that I did.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PaulaD from PHOTO BOXES I like the quality, very durable, but was surprised they did not hold 5 x 7 pictures as this is what I wanted. Probably my fault as the dimensions were listed but I went by the picture and thought they were big enough. Still really like them and would recommend as much safer for your pictures than photo ablums

Rated 4 out of 5 by gma v08 from separate containers within I love the separate containers and the room to label them for easy reference, however it couldn't get anywhere near 600 photos in this unit. Will probably buy more of them in the future if they are still available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 68gal from Great Storage It was time to organize 42 years of photos that had been accumulating in the drawer. I love that there were six containers in the box; I used one for each of my children and grandchildren. Now I can locate pictures in a snap.

Rated 5 out of 5 by beckaya from A easy way to store photo's I started by buying 3 of these boxes. Than I bought 3 more and I need to order at least 3 more as I keep finding pictures. I have them sitting neatly stacked on the top of my book shelve and my photos are sorted, labeled and protected. I didn't count the number of photo's in each section however it was a lots.

Wet Foot Dry Foot
Nowadays immigration is very common and usual in the world, but especially in
America, Europe and those countries which are considered powerful, strong in economy
and other systems of government. There are a lot of legal and illegal immigrants from all
over the world in the united states of America. But the question is: should we allow
illegal people to stay?
First of all I'd like to discuss how people enter the USA. It's easy to cross the
USA's border legally. Some people come to visit with tourist visas, student visas, some
of them with work and study visas, but majority of them decide to overstay their visas and
they become illegal immigrants. The drawbacks are: they can't work or study, they can't
have medical insurance and for many reasons they have hard time and can't find their
place in the USA.
Now I'd like to talk about under what conditions we should allow people to stay.
The first criteria is people who regularly pay their taxes, the second one is immigrants
who live in America more than 10 years and are appropriate to this country by defending
the law. I think in this case there could be also considered intelligent, educated and
skillful immigrants to stay, because their brains and experience will be useful for this
country. America should use these clever people. I suppose the USA must allow people to
arrive in America if they have medical problems, if they want to get a good education, if
they seek political asylum. As the USA has a lottery for getting a green card, it means that this country needs thousands of immigrants every year.
In conclusion now America more or less should let all the illegal immigrants stay
in this country and have all necessary documents that needs any independent American
person, of course if a person didn't do any crime. And then it will be significant to take
all kind of visas under a strict control.

Insanity really set in and by the town he seized power 2 months later in January of 2009, 72% of Americans thought that four years of his policies would benefit this nation.
I guess I take some solace in the fact that the number is down 11% from four years ago...and I am BETTING that by January of 2013, Americans will have an even lower view of the future...
Which, while sad, would also be more realistic.
We are experience Jimmy Carter's third term.
gallup BS
Democrats are nearly unanimous in their positive feelings that the next four years will be better for the country, with 94% saying so versus 4% who think things will be worse. Republicans are nearly as united but in the opposite direction, with 11% saying the country will be better off and 86% seeing the country souring. Independents are more upbeat than not about the future, 51% to 40%.
WOW 11% have stopped living under rocks
Roughly the same percentage don't know who the Vice President is.
I think too many people are doing too much "medical" happy smoke in this country. That or meth.
I think I've heard of Gallup. They're the ones who said we would have a president-elect Romney right about now.
My God. How deluded can people believe. The economy is a mess. 23 million unemployed and more losing their jobs every day. It makes no sense. People have really gone mad.
So 54% are too stupid to see a freight train coming straight at them.
54% of the country are absolute MORONS! And 65% were absolute MORONS in 2008!!!!!!
Apparently, as long as the MSM keep telling people everything is swell and Obama is terrific people really do buy it. Apparently staring down the barrel of total economic devistation doesn't phase people as long as they have that warm glowing happy talk on the flat screen.
Better off four years from now — because BO will finally be out of the White House (we hope)?
Wishful and hopeful thinking?
Must be disappointing for them to see their dear Leader down some though remaining upbeat that a good number of the Jim Jones followers are still on the Obama bus..
"Despite the smiles and the uplifting rhetoric, Romney's message was essentially one of austerity: we'll have to suck it up and tighten the belt before it gets better. And America did not want to hear that message. It burns."
Don't worry..........be happy.
54% are optimistic? Makes sense to me. 51% re-elected the Marxist Despot. There is no statistically significant difference between those two numbers.
In 2008 65% of the people thought things would be better because the Food Stamp President would be leaving office in 4 years. In 2012 54% of the people think things will be better because the Food Stamp President will be leaving office, but he will have screwed up the economy so bad that 11% have given up hope.
A majority of Americans are complete morons, cowards, and lazy scum.
President reagan must be spinning in his grave...Along with the Founding Fathers...
We are officially 10-years into the "thousand years"...
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Characters Discussed
(Great Characters in Literature)
Madame Shih
Madame Shih, called the Matriarch, the widow of Chia Tai-shan and the oldest living female ancestor of the family Chia. In her eighties, she rules with authority and grace her large families in two palace compounds. Although she shows favoritism to her grandson, she is fair in her judgments and unselfish in her actions. She sacrifices her personal wealth to aid her decadent descendants, but she herself never compromises her integrity.
Chia Cheng
Chia Cheng, her younger son. A man of strict Confucian principles, he manages to keep his integrity in spite of calumnious actions against him. Extremely autocratic and strong-willed, he is puritanic as well. Although he loves his talented son, Chia Cheng cannot condone his frivolous ways or his lack of purpose; hence he disciplines the delicate boy too severely.
Madame Wang
Madame Wang, Chia Cheng's wife.
Pao-yu, Chia Cheng's son by Madame Wang and the favorite of the Matriarch. Born with a jade tablet of immortality in his mouth, the boy is thought by all to be favored by the gods and distinguished among mortals. He is extremely handsome, sensitive, and perceptive, though delicate in health. He is also lazy, self-indulgent, effeminate—in short all the things his father does not want him to be—and he lives surrounded by faithful maidservants whose loving care is most touching. His character develops as he associates with his beloved cousin, Black Jade, and her cousin, Precious Virtue. His loss of the jade amulet causes him great pain and trouble, especially when his parents and grandmother decide on the wrong wife for him. When Black Jade dies of a broken heart, he turns to scholarship and distinguishes himself and his family, renewing their fortune before he disappears in the company of a Buddhist monk and a lame Taoist priest. His filial piety in redeeming the reputation and fortune of the Chias atones for all the trouble he caused his family. Precious Virtue, his wife, bears him a son to carry on the family line.
Tai-yu, called Black Jade, another of the Matriarch's grandchildren, a girl born into mortality from the form of a beautiful flower. Delicate in health and gravely sensitive, the beautiful and brilliant child comes to live in the Matriarch's home after her mother dies. Immediately she and Pao-yu sense their intertwined destinies, and their mutual love and respect develop to uncanny depths. Given to jealousy and melancholy, she finally wastes away to the point that the Matriarch will not allow Pao-yu to have her in marriage. Black Jade dies when Pao-yu marries Precious Virtue, who is disguised as Black Jade.
Pao-chai, called Precious Virtue, the demure and reserved niece of Black Jade's mother, brought into the Matriarch's pavilion as a companion to her favored grandchildren. Obedient to her benefactress' wishes, devoted to the handsome Pao-yu, loyal to Black Jade, and generous to all the many Chia relatives, Pao-chai well fits her name. Her virtues are the more remarkable in the face of the many trials placed before her, especially in giving herself in marriage to one who loves another. She is the model Chinese wife and companion, a great contrast to her brother Hsueh Pan, a reckless libertine.
Hsi-feng, called Phoenix, the efficient but treacherous wife of Chia Lien. At first a careful manager of the estate, she eventually indulges her greedy nature, lends money at high interest, and finally brings disgrace upon the Chia family. Her jealous nature causes tragedy and unhappiness among the loving members of the household, but she dies repentant.
Chia Lien
Chia Lien, the husband of Phoenix and the son of Chia Sheh by an unnamed concubine, an idle, lecherous man unfaithful to his wife. After the death of Phoenix he marries
Ping-er, called Patience, a devoted maid of the household.
Chia-chieh, the young daughter of Phoenix and Chia Lien.
Chia Sheh
Chia Sheh, the Matriarch's older son and master of the Yungkuofu, one of the two great palace compounds of the Chia family. He is a man of ordinary talents, holds no important official post, and takes little part in the affairs of his household.
Madame Hsing
Madame Hsing, the wife of Chia Sheh.
Ying-chun, called Welcome Spring, the daughter of Chia Sheh by an unnamed concubine. Although the Matriarch and Chia Cheng oppose the match, Chia Sheh marries her to Sun Shao-tsu. Her husband beats her, and she is miserable in her marriage....
