This old celluloid backed mirror is the size of the celluloid advertising paperweights but this one has a metal loop handle. The picture is a woman, probably from the late 1800's by the dress and hairstyle, with a small porcelain cup raised to her smiling lips, note the raised pinkie finger. There is no advertising and no maker. The mirror is set in a painted black metal ring.
The celluloid portion measures about 3 7/16" in diameter the overall length is about 6 5/8" and is in good condition. The celluloid is nice with no cracks or splits and light scratch wear. The mirror side has dark areas around the outer edge where the silvering is gone but it is not cracked or broken and in generally good condition. The metal ring and handle have some paint loss.
The pictures are not shown at actual size. Please refer to the description for actual measurements.

Let your work be shown to your servants,
and your glorious power to their children.
and your glorious power to their children.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!
Psalm 90:16-17
On Sunday Luke and I had the privilege of seeing two people from our church get baptised. We were even blessed enough that there was a spot-o-sun for the occasion, although of course with an ample supply of wind.
One of the sisters getting baptised read out Psalm 90, as it was a Psalm that had really helped her in her conversion. She read it in Italian (being Italian herself, not because she was suddenly given the gift of tongues), and I was curious to read what it said in English.
The verses above really struck a cord with me today, so I thought I would share them with you. Maybe it's because I've been thinking about work a lot and how to glorify God in the workplace, what with trying to get back into the whole 8-5 thing after summer holidays. We have also been discussing relevant topics in theology class, where we've been reading John Piper's book "Don't Waste Your Life".
As a Christian, the work that we do is work for God, and this is the work Moses (the author of this psalm) is asking God to bless. However, before we can even begin to do work for God, He must work on us first. As Bible commentator Matthew Henry writes:
"God's servants cannot work for him unless he work upon them, and work in them both to will and to do; and then we may hope the operations of God's providence will be apparent for us when the operations of his grace are apparent upon us."
Though we were once dead in our trespasses and sins, it is because God resurrected us through the power of the Holy Spirit that His work can be, as Moses says, "...shown to your servants," and His "...glorious power to their children."
Interestingly, John Macarthur believes this psalm was written as the older generation of Israelites who had left Egypt were dying off in the wilderness (Num. 14) and they were now looking to their children who would inherit the land.
However, I think this is also a prayer which can be prayed by all parents: that they would know more of the Lord and their children would see God's glory.
Furthermore, I think verse 17 is a petition that we should continually pray: that God would help us in our work, whether this be our ministry to our friends and family or our physical work. That HE would establish pretty much everything we do. As Matthew Henry rightly says:
"We are so unworthy of divine assistance, and yet so utterly insufficient to bring any thing to pass without it, that we have need to be earnest for it and to repeat the request: Yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it, and, in order to that, establish us in it."

The hunt for the new Indian cricket coach has come to a standstill, with prime candidate Graham Ford's withdrawal from the race. It takes more than just vast cricketing knowledge and experience to be at the helm of the job that has become cricket's answer to Real Madrid, the Spanish football club which has become unmanageable over the past few years.
The job pays very well, undoutedbly. But the pressures and expectations associated with it outdo any kind of financial satisfaction that a coach can gain. The Indian cricketing system is way too complex for coaches, who have to come through a thousand influences and interferences before making their mark.
Ford's withdrawal is also a sign of how the BCCI has actually "hyped" the job into the cricketing stratosphere. English hope John Emburey has also rejected the offer made to him. I think a home-grown coach, who has seen and done it all, should be in the mainframe for the job. But even yesteryear heroes want to stay out of the pool of controversies that it generates. The lack of applications speaks for that.
In the end, it will all come down to the players getting back to their best. A rejuvenated India did produce a commanding show in Bangladesh, but the challenges that lie ahead are way tougher.....

It's been
leaked revealed that eBay founder Pierre Omidyar is creating a "mass-media organization" (a.k.a news channel) and will be backing it to the tune of $250 million. While the project doesn't have a name or a solid editorial team yet, former Guardian investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald is heading up the venture, and documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras and The Nation journalist Jeremy Scahill have also joined the team.
While Omidyar has a huge personal wealth — estimated by Forbes to be $8.5 billion — so far he has largely stuck to philanthropic ventures through his company, the Omidyar Network. His interest in journalism first became apparent in 2010, when the tech entrepreneur backed a news startup, the Honolulu Civil Beat. The site seeks to provide transparent coverage about local civic news in Hawaii through high investigative journalistic standards and old-school reporting. This year, he was approached about buying The Washington Post and it was during the negotiations that Omidyar got wind of Greenwald's idea for a news startup. And, the rest is history — or not quite, since the project hasn't actually gotten off the ground, yet.
What can we expect from this news site? Judging by the barn-storming success of eBay, one hopes for great things. In an interview, NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen said the key to the venture's success is its point-of-difference in the online news space. The focus is on tailoring the delivery of news content to each individual reader, as well as striking a balance between, in the words of Rosen, "voicey blogging and traditional journalism."
The type of journalist hired to write for the channel will be a different breed, too. Omidyar says the company will look for "independent journalists with expertise, and a voice, and a following." It's an exciting sentiment, and we agree with Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post when she said, "Given how effective he was at creating a whole new definition of retail with eBay, as somebody who's in the media space, I'm interested to see what innovations he will come up with in this space, which I think will benefit all of us." Watch this space, indeed. (The Independent)

So, some random criteria to compare these two delightful countries, starting with the bottom line:
(If you think this is a lazy, rehashed way of covering two months' travel, cf Egypt vs Sri Lanka, you'd be right)
Tourist costsThe Jordanian Dinar is worth more than the British pound - a recurring surprise to Dave - and Jordan cost us more than most other countries we visited. In Petra we paid £7 for a beer. But then car hire was £18 a day, and a day snorkelling in the Red Sea was a fiver.
Blighty meanwhile seems to have tripled costs since we left. The bus from Inverness to Skye for two suddenly cost more than a week's car hire. Coffee was £3.50, an average pint £4.50. Daren't look at hotel costs. What just happened, or are we stuck in a Dixon of Dock Green netherworld?
Winner: Jordan
|Wadi Musa makes everyone look good
The UK wins for range, from the jagged Cuillins to Dorset's Jurassic cliffs, with much else inbetween.
Jordan is less varied but it has the top bit of the Great Rift Valley and Martian mountains exploding from the desert. Cool.
Winner: a tie
Old stuff
|Getting bored at Jerash
While the UK obviously doesn't have anything Biblical or Greek, it has Stonehenge and a million tumuli, castles, churches and stately homes up to the modern day. Something for every century, though don't expect to see Jo hanging around.
Winner: another tie
But it was a welcome change from Indian, especially as Dave would go green just hearing the word, "Paratha", which Jo for some reason would often sprinkle into conversation.
Average British food. Enough said.
Winner: Jordan
|Berneray Beach ©Coralbox
BeachesBritain has 11,000 miles of coastline while Jordan has sixteen.
Jordan's coast has a view onto Egypt, Israel and Saudi Arabia, which is original. It's a nice temperature there in winter but stupidly hot (Dave yes, Jo no) in summer. The stretches of sand are just that.
The beaches in the Hebrides have white sand, blue sea, green islands and no people. Put your toe in the water and it also goes blue (see below) but nothing beats the view. And the UK has 1000 other beaches to suit every mood.
Winner: UK
|Dave. Dead Sea. Slightly sad
You can drink the tap water in both countries.
And then there's the Dead Sea, so buoyant you can't swim because your legs and arms are jacked in the air like a flailing beetle. Love it.
Winner: Jordan
Being sensible
After India, it was like a huge champagne bath and we just loved everything. But with hindsight we can still say that Jordan is safe and fascinating and one of the top five countries of our trip.

Blessed is your glorious
and holy reputation,
worthy of praise and raised high above all others forever.
Blessed are you in your glorious,
holy temple,

Hymn of the Three Young Men (Prayer of Azariah 29-33 CEB)
The Word of God
Psalm 93
The Lord will rule forever and always.
The Lord rules!
He is robed in majesty—
the Lord is robed,
clothed with strength.
Yes, he set the world firmly in place;
it won't be shaken.
Your throne is set firm for a very long time.
You are eternal!
Lord, the floods have raised up—
the floods have raised up their voices;
the floods raise up a roar!
But mightier than the sound of much water,
mightier than the sea's waves,
mighty on high is the Lord!
Your laws are so faithful.
Holiness decorates your house, Lord, for all time.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and will be forever. Amen.
The Lord will rule forever and always.
Psalm Prayer
Christ our King,
you put on the apparel of our nature
and raised us to your glory;
reign from your royal throne
above the chaos of this world,
that all may see the victory you have won
and trust in your salvation;
for your glory's sake.
Scripture reading
Hebrews 9:24
Christ didn't enter the holy place (which is a copy of the true holy place) made by human hands, but into heaven itself, so that he now appears in God's presence for us.
Silence may be kept.
Happy are people who grieve,
because they will be made glad.
Matthew 5:4
Intercession and thanksgiving
Prayers may include these concerns:
God's royal priesthood, that it may be empowered by the Spirit
Those who wait on God, that they may find renewal
All people, that they may acknowledge the kingdom
of the ascended Christ
The earth, for productivity and for fruitful harvests
All who are struggling with broken relationships
Other intercessions and supplications may be offered as the Holy Spirit leads.
O King enthroned on high,
Comforter and Spirit of truth,
you that are in all places and fill all things,
the treasury of blessings and the giver of life,
come and dwell with us,
cleanse us from every stain
and save our souls, O gracious one.
An Orthodox prayer
The Lord's Prayer
As our Savior taught us, so we pray
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and forever.
May the grace of the Holy Spirit enlighten our hearts and minds.
Alleluia. Amen.

|Main Lodge - Dining and Bar
The lodge was very easy to find by following the directions provided and as we got near, junctions were well marked with MRL carved wooden signs. The parking area is located about 100 metres from the main lodge. The benefit of this is that early morning noise of cars starting, and car doors opening and closing as people leave for game drives is kept to a minimum for guests that are still sleeping. We strolled from the parking lot along the path to the large thatched bar and dining area. We were warmly welcomed in the main lodge bar/reception area and took a moment to admire the river view, large papyrus floating islands and hippos splashing in the water near the opposite bank. What surprised me about the lodge location is the close proximity to the river.

The food was a stand out part of our stay. Fresh ingredients combined with homestyle cooking made every meal enjoyable. The food wasn't greasy in the slightest. Freshness all around. We started the mornings with coffee brought to our veranda. A press full of Ugandan coffee is a great way to start any day. Breakfast is made to order with your choice of eggs, bacon, sausage, beans and mushrooms served with homemade toasted bread and juice. The breakfast was great with the best scrambled eggs I've had in awhile. Lunch is served buffet style and consists of cold salads, freshly sliced vegetables and homemade bread. Refreshing lunch to break up a hot dusty day. We also tried out a packed lunch to take and eat on our safari drive. We were given a choice of several sandwiches again on homemade bread accompanied by fresh fruit and juice. Dinner is a set menu consisting of three courses. Dietary restrictions and vegetarians can be catered for, you just need to let them know. Our first night the starter was vegetable sticks and guacamole, followed by steak, roast potatoes and vegetables and finished with a dessert of lemon cake which made me feel like a kid again since it tasted just like my Mom's recipe. On night two we started with tomato soup followed by roast chicken with rice and vegetables and a chocolate slice for dessert. There is nothing I can fault with the food at Murchison River Lodge.
|Main lodge looking over The Nile River
It is evident that a lot of thought and pride has gone into the design and layout of the lodge. Since the owners have a young child themselves, they have thought of things to make families with children comfortable like a children's play area and swing under a tamarind tree, a children's menu and early dinner times. Chris one of the owners, was around during our stay and his passion for the place really shows in the way that he interacts with his guests.
The drive to the park gate is a mere 5 minutes away and within 20 minutes you can be at the Paraa ferry. There are two routes to the lodge, the much shorter route takes you through the park and the longer more scenic route skirts the park and avoids park entry costs.
What I enjoyed most about the lodge was it's rustic wild feel without sparing any comforts, the attention to detail and non pretentious nature of the place. There is something about the Murchison River Lodge that I can't quite put my finger on but when you're there you feel very relaxed and at home. A place where time matters little and relaxing is foremost. If you're planning a safari to Murchison I would highly recommend this little gem.
Since visiting, we are happy to inform that Murchison River Lodge has started building a swimming pool.

The ARC+ fleet got underway in good conditions earlier today as they set out on Leg 2 of ARC+ from São Vicente in the Cape Verde Islands to Saint Lucia. Conditions at the start were good with a NE wind of around 15 knots blowing across the start line. The port of Mindelo is in a basin however, and frequent gusts from the mountain made for a lively start as the multihulls cross the line at 1245 and the monohulls at 1300 hours local.
The first catamaran across the line, was the Outremer 55 Light Charm, owned by Lara and Joe Grosjean, and their son Cobin. They were quickly followed by the Sun Reef 60 Loft Fine Line, owned by Israel Perlov and skippered by Ilya Romanov, and the Outremer 51 Cayuse, owned by Marsha and Hal Haltom
First across in the monohull Cruising Division was the Spanish Beneteau 50 Quiviana Primero followed in the centre of the line by Mupi and Summer Star. All the other boats followed in quick succession with some coloured sails up and the start line was all clear within 10 minutes.
Shortly after leaving the start the yachts entered the channel with São Vicente to portside and the mountainous Santo Antão to starboard. This sustained the lively wind conditions as the fleet headed off to the west.
Special thanks to Lutz Meyer-Scheel, General Manager of Marina Mindelo, and all his staff for the preparations and hard work, the Maritime and Immigration Police of S.Vicente for their support during the fleet's visit, and Kai Brossmann and his team on Boat CV for assisting on all the repairs requested by the fleet.
The yachts are expected to make landfall in Saint Lucia from the 25th of November onwards. Their progress can be followed on the ARC Fleet Viewer by selecting ARC+ and by reading the logs which the boats write from sea.

The last few weeks and the furore concerning Romanian stray dogs occurred due to the death of a four year old boy. After accusing strays of his death, it turned out that there was no DNA match between the boy and the stray dogs. It then turned out that there was a witness. Anyway, here are some CCTV footage obtained by Cancan. The link to the original story is here. What follows is a English translation.
Images filmed staggering shortly before being killed Ionut: Ionut Andrei running through the park completely unsupervised
Please visit the website to view the full film.
Cancan got some pictures baffling that nobody has seen before. Tei park's cameras captured the last moments of the play the two boys before they cross the fence to left field
There are pictures with a strong emotional impact. The boys family Anghel, Ionut, 4 years and Andrew, 6 years old, in a moment of joy and play, a moment that is not predicted by any tragedy that was to follow. Oddly, in shooting with little boys, grandmother missing. One of the rooms located in the middle of the park Tei, has captured images of the two, running alone on an area big enough, without being in any way supervised.
E at 9.21. Andrew, the eldest first appears. Run fast enough on the main alley, beside the fountain. Too fast for his brother, only 4 years ago that remained serious. The small beam enters the camera almost a minute away from his brother, who is well ahead. Tiny and he runs as fast as possible, but it can get, and when no longer sees his brother stops at the intersection of two alleys confused, not knowing where to go excact. Finally we spotted times, great times we cried and then, slightly insecure resume running.
In these images, the boys head to the other end of the park - from the area that supposedly came out. Most likely continued to run until they made a complete turn around wells and the end came to the playground fence bordered by broken fence that had to enter a "different world". In the world, small and insecure, confused and tired may have been lost.
In the minutes that pass by image, the park animals. Parents, grandparents accompanying their children or grandchildren, mothers walk their babies in strollers, young go hand in hand holding. Granny has two brothers, most likely, in the area where he sat when he arrived at the park. And that, according to witnesses, it's not the same as indicated in the reconstruction of old on tv, but to the center of the park, just opposite. Far beyond the playground.
Starting at 9.23, Anghel boys no longer appear on any of the nine cameras located in the middle of the park and the "cover" a good part of the main driveway. No it's not seen their grandmother. Even after 10.30 when supposedly old has noticed the absence and went to look for them.
Barely 11 and 20, make their appearance in the middle of the two guards, who once supravegeasera park at their posts observation. It sits in the center and looked in all directions. It should be noted that the park is very well maintained and guarded, both in areas with swings, as well as the main or side alleys. There have been cases where children have lost their parents, but were quickly spotted. Linden Park is not necessarily a complicated park and areas are large, with large openings. So at 11.20, two employees of the security company sits centrally and watch children carefully. It may be a coincidence, but it's possible that men of old have been announced as not find grandchildren.
Time 11.36. It's been 2 hours and 15 minutes after the boys were filmed by a surveillance camera. At that time, the room number 1, situated at the entrance of the park, it surprises Andrew, eldest son of the family Anghel. Go fast, accompanied by a tall, well-built, with dark hair. Young wear shorts, a white shirt and red plaid sneakers and I hand you the boy. Enter the park, the man sees the guards and headed directly toward them, and the images are captured inside the park Room 4 of the same angle where more than two hours ago, both boys had been filmed.
The man considered "key witness" in the investigation gestures showing it on the boy. The child remains a step back and wait, and the guards look the man in the gesture that is supposed to be my grandmother. An interesting aspect to be emphasized here. In the area where they stopped the man and child sprawl dog most likely of another man who stopped to talk with others. The boy does not seem to be afraid and sits near quadruped, waiting for adults to finish speaking.
The three men and Andrei turn then to the end of the park. State Bank that the grandmother and when arrived at the park. The area where visibility is poor is old, but it may refer to the old men find her and I "teach" children. The same camera filming him the man who brought the child when, in less than three minutes after it left Andrew. He is young grandmother told about probably rebuked her saying that he found the child "just in Bamboo "(at Tuzla) and urged her to take care of him once. 's pretty obvious that the boy did not tell the rescuer or has a brother who has fallen prey to dogs and who remained on the land left. We can assume that the man would have called the police or even personally would have gone to look for the little guy. But he took the boy's hand and led him back into the park, where baiatl told her grandmother would expect. From oldies statements result even she did not know right away from Andrei Ionut what happened, but only after he calmed down, the boy told him that his brother was killed. Dogs.
Besides existing question marks in this terrible case amounted others. How long has it been, in fact, when the children were gone until she realized that her grandmother never return, running to the bank on which it stood? How could that little boy of four years, you see aabia running with his small feet - to cross such a trail through the wilderness, the moors, through an area where no adults not venture? How was it possible that both guys go down a ravine with a difference on more than three meters, inclined at 45 degrees. And then to wander through a dense forest, full of noise, garbage and carrion birds?
How to Laguna Tei guards that they let Andrew take to the streets using their gate asked him how to come to such an area? And who is, after all, the man who saved Andrew? W e would have told him it would be perhaps very useful survey.
In tomorrow's edition will return with new details and images. Who we be introduced to the "key witness" who took on Andrew grandmother in the park and we can help you make contact with him or we may provide information about him is asked to contact us at the address or email@example.com telephone number 0741 226 226.

BÖWE BELL + HOWELL introduces new data services offering for small to mid-sized mailers
Thursday, August 26, 2010
Press release from the issuing company
Wheeling, Ill. – BÖWE BELL + HOWELL (BBH) today announced the availability of a new service offering that provides small to mid-sized mailers with access to the kind of sophisticated document and data-processing capabilities that are traditionally found only in high-volume production mailers.
"BBH Data Services is an economical option for smaller companies that want the benefits of an automated document factory, but that want to avoid capital investments or additional overhead," said Nick Kepf, BBH general manager and executive director of Business Continuity Production Services. "Creating a full-service data-processing environment is expensive, and smaller companies may not have the tools and skills to build or support a large IT infrastructure. We give them the benefit of having advanced processing capabilities without the expense of ownership."
Specific services now available include document composition and recomposition, production integrity, postal compliance, online archiving and electronic delivery. Applications are tailored to operational needs and support all major print file formats. "We can help customers optimize print data for processing on their mailing equipment, and provide expert design consultants to create high-impact documents," added Kepf. "And, using solutions from our postal solutions team, we help mailers comply with government and USPS requirements."
BBH Data Services has a world-class data-processing facility to provide customers with a protected environment that includes multiple Internet carriers, redundant power, fire-detection systems, the highest level of security available and 24x7 management.
BBH Services facilities have achieved multiple certifications and regulatory compliances, including ISO 9001:2008, HIPAA, SAS 70 and PCI-DSS.

The last time I talked about my hair I was thinking about cutting my locs short but worried about the change and letting go. I think I'm past it now. I had a trim about 3 weeks ago. There were pieces hitting the "danger" zone. See how much was cut off? Very little. I missed those little pieces but I got over it. I always do. It is just hair -- I'm holding my breath just a little bit while writing this.
|A lil trim
Today I had a consultation with a stylist. I bit the bullet and took a drive to the land of locticians. We agreed on a layered cut with bangs or shorter hair framing the face in front. I'm going to take some images with me of what my vision is.
Below is a small sample of the the pics I've bookmarked.
|Love the cut and the bangs
|Length and shape is just right
|Color? That would be new.
|Love the bangs
|This is NOT my inspiration. Wowza that's a lot of hair!
Have a dramatic hair change story? Good experience? Bad?

What happened to appreciating pure aesthetics? My problem with Americans: If you can't wear it, use it or sit on it... you say, fuck it. Why isn't aesthetic pleasure a commodity? Why do people prefer to look at beige walls? Why can't people see the value of a line or a curve or chiaroscuro? There was a time in my life where I valued my optical experience over all else. It was the best part of my life. I can't imagine a life without a visual feast.
Daria Endresen
I'm really kind of diggin' this photographer's style. Her name is Daria Endresen. She is a digital artist/photo-manipulator that works out of Oslo, Norway and Paris, France. Oddly similar to one of my favorite painters, Odd Nerdrum. See more at her website

Global Status of Billfish
Atlantic Ocean
Marlin, sailfish, spearfish and tunas and other tuna-like species in international waters of the Atlantic are under the jurisdiction of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT). Scientists frequently use the term "overfishing" to describe the situation where a stock is being fished at a higher rate than can be sustained. Similarly, the term "overfished" refers to where a stock has been reduced to below a targeted management level. Currently, Blue marlin are overfished and overfishing is still occurring with the stock at roughly 39% of the biomass that would produce maximum sustainable yield (MSY).[1] White marlin are overfished and overfishing is continuing[2] with the stock currently at less than 25% of the biomass that would sustain MSY. Attempts to do quantitative assessments on sailfish have not been successful due to lack of accurate catch and effort data from all harvesters, but trends in catch-per-unit-effort – an indicator of stock abundance – have fallen consistently since the 1970s.[3] There has been no effort to attempt any assessment of the spearfish species of the Atlantic and we do not know if populations are at sustainable levels.
Pacific Ocean
International management authority in the Pacific is shared by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) and the West and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). There has never been an assessment of the status of black marlin in the Pacific, but landings trends over the past thirty years have been generally declining. There have been contradictory results in recent assessments of Pacific blue marlin status. A 2001 assessment by the IATTC staff [4] and a 2003 effort by collaborating scientists [5]show the stock to be fully exploited. In contrast research done in 2002[6] to develop a broad-based estimate of pelagic ecosystem species shows that blue marlin had declined the most in abundance of any of these tuna-like species being at only 21% of their pre-1960 abundance. No conservation measures are in place for either blue marlin or black marlin on the Pacific high seas.
The most recent (2007) assessment by the International Scientific Committee for Tuna and Tuna-like Species in the North Pacific (ISC) revealed that North Pacific striped marlin have been severely reduced in abundance and the spawning potential ratio (SPR) is estimated at 9% of maximum.[7] SPR is often used as a guideline to gauge the health of a fish stock and the usual targeted levels are 20% to 40%. It is useful to note that data available for this assessment was only current through 2003. As a result of this study the ISC recommended that the RFMO with jurisdiction over this stock, the WCPFC take action to reduce fishing mortality. The WCPFC has not taken any such action,[8] and the stock continues to be overfished with no conservation measures in place.
There has been no effort to assess the status of sailfish or spearfish species in the Pacific. Neither the IATTC or the WCPFMC can provide accurate advice on the health of the stock and no conservation measures are in place. Recent catch-per-unit-effort data from the recreational fishery off of Central America has generated cause for concern.
Indian Ocean
The Indian Ocean high seas fisheries are the responsibility of the Indian Ocean tuna commission (IOTC). The Indian Ocean is home to blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin and sailfish. Although fishing pressure on tunas has increased dramatically in recent years [9] and tuna catches have dropped precipitously over the last two years[10] there is no assessment and little useable data available to determine the health of marlin populations.[11],[12] The IOTC cannot advise on the status of these billfish species and no conservation measures are in place.
There has been a general lack of responsible action to protect billfish species across all the world's regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs). For the four stocks with existing scientific status assessments, two are severely overfished (Atlantic blue and white marlin) and two (Pacific striped and blue marlin) are either fully exploited or overfished with contrary results in the published literature. Of even more concern is the lack of any determination of status for most stocks and the indifference of the RFMOs to correcting this situation.

Anyone Recognize These Vintage Lamps?
Q: I bought this wood and metal lamp recently. I need to know more about these lamps (second one below). The seller said they were from the early 60's. They are used but work well. Is it possible for anyone out there to identify the name or the manufacturer of these lamps. Any information is appreciated!
Sent by Sudha
Editor - A beautiful pair of vintage era lamps which we hope someone out there may identify.

Realm of the Coin
A direct hit, and a new, good word:
At one point, Lakoff makes Chomsky (an academic arch-rival) looks reasonable by comparison. He also wants to take credit for Obama. Take a number, George.
It is sometimes difficult when reading [linguist, progressive, and "Don't Think of an Elephant!" author George P.] Lakoff to know where his political advocacy ends and his cognitive-linguistics scholarship begins. When I ask him about that, he acknowledges that his political celebrity has put a strain on his scholarly work, but he insists that he has not abandoned linguistics for politics: "The work I do in politics is linguistics, it is linguistics about political subjects — it is advocacy linguistics." That means, he says, "I do a simple linguistic analysis, and then I say based on that analysis you should do this, this, and that. But it all rests on doing the linguistics."
Owen Flanagan, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University, is even more skeptical than [Steven] Pinker, declaring Lakoff a member of the "neuroenthusiasta," his term for cognitive scientists who overstate the implications of their research, and the journalists who breathlessly hype their findings. According to Flanagan, brain science is only helpful to the extent that it tells us something we don't already know. To illustrate his point, he offers an analogy: When children learn how to ride a bike, something changes in their brains. If a scientist offers parents a detailed description of that neurological transformation, it might be interesting, but it won't help children learn to ride a bike.
At one point, Lakoff makes Chomsky (an academic arch-rival) looks reasonable by comparison. He also wants to take credit for Obama. Take a number, George.

Disclaimer: Do not try this at home. This sort of writing should only be done by JK Rowling and trained professional idiots.
I was dazed all throughout my next couple of classes. Fortunately, said classes were History of Magic and Divination, so no one noticed.
I liked Hermione. Looking back, I suppose it was obvious. Really obvious, in fact. Why didnt I see it? Only took me five bloody years. Hell, after the Yule Ball
("And Viktor Krum?") That bloody slimy Bulgarian git had better keep his bloody hands off of her or Ill rip them off and shove them up hisoh, shut up, Ginny.
Anyway, no one really noticed that I was acting differently until dinner. Apparently Im known for eating a lot, though why I was not informed of that is beyond me.
"Whats wrong, Ron? Youre not eating like you usually do," Hermione said, leaning across the table to feel my forehead. "You feel a little warm. And youre flushed. Maybe you should go down to the hospital wing?" Of course I was flushed, she was inches away from my face. Shes been closer than that, I thought, but it wasnt really registering.
"Yeah, maybe," I said. "Ill just head up to the common room and snogsnag a couple hours sleep then. Heh. Bye!" I rushed away before I could see if I could fit my entire bloody leg in my mouth. You know, if I bothered to laugh at the times you embarrassed yourself in front of Harry
not so funny now, is it?
Hermioned set the password for the Fat Lady the day before and it wasnt really something I was about to forget. "Free the house-elves," I muttered as I went in. I ignored the few people in the common room, although I made a note not to sit anywhere near the fireplace until I saw exactly what Fred and George had done to it.
I went upstairs to my dormitory, and, having nothing at all better to do, I got to work on a Transfiguration essay. Did I mention I had nothing better to do?
I got about a foot done before I decided that I would rather hug a Blast-Ended Screwt than continue. I would just do the respectable thing and finish it during lunch the day it was due. I did, incidentally, and Professor McGonagall said it was some of my best work. ("Not that thats saying much.") Who asked you?
Harry came in after Id been staring at the ceiling for about an hour and sat down. "Alright mate, whats wrong?" he asked.
"What whats wrong? Nothings wrong. Just realised Im in love with one of my best friends, and I have been for years," I responded.
"Aww, Im flattered Ron, but youre not the Weasley Im attracted to," Harry smirked. I hit him with a pillow.
"Shut up. Its Hermione."
"Of course it is. It always has been."
"Wait, you knew? And you didnt tell me?" I was about to hit him again.
"Well, it was rather obvious Ron," he said. I would have told him he sounded like Percy, but he went on. "I mean, in second year, who did you go into the Forbidden Forest for? Who did you throw up slugs for?"
"Hermione," I muttered. Damn him for being so
There was silence for a bit. I really was getting tired, and he was half-asleep soon. "Hey Harry?"
"Just how many people know?"
"Go out into the common room. Count the people in there, the people in their beds, and subtract Hermione. That covers it."
The next day, two days ago if youre keeping count, I was able to act perfectly normal around Hermione. Of course, I had help.
"Mrnn Mione," I grunted through a mouthful of eggs at breakfast. Laugh if you will, but my elbow was butter-free, thank you. Which is more than you can say around Harry half the time.
"Dont talk with your mouth full," she said instantly. "I see your appetite is back."
"Yeah. Guess I just needed a good nights sleep." I took a drink of my pumpkin juice and went on. "So, did I miss anything important after I left?"
"No. Just some late post fromjust some late post." Something in the way she said it made me suspicious. Perhaps it was the way she backtracked, or the way she suddenly looked away when she said it. Or maybe it was the way she was blushing like a rose on fire.
"Really? From who?" I asked.
She mumbled something I didnt pick up. "Whats that?"
She sighed. "Viktor."
"Ooh, post from Vicky." ("Nice, Ron.") Yes, I know I was a prat. Refrain from commenting until Im done, I got a lot worse.
"His name is Viktor, not Vicky. And he never did anything to you, Ron, for you to dislike him so much."
I scoffed. Truly, he didnt, but still. "I dont care if he snogged Celestina bloody Warbeck. Write to whatever eighteen-year-old Bulgarian gits you want."
"He is not a git, hes very intelligent, and what a horrible thing for you to say!"
"Okay, Hermione, Im horrible. Sorry."
"Thats not what I meant and you know it!"
"Never mind then!"
Harry had, apparently, been watching from the sidelines for a while, and took this moment to hazard a leap into the conversation. "Good morning!" he said far more cheerily than was usual from him.
"Hmph." Hermione turned her face away from me rather sharply and greeted Harry.
I took a piece of toast and used the butter as a flavouring ingredient, and not as an elbow lubricant. Ow! Fine, I wont mention it any more. No need to hit me.
"So Hermione, are you ready for the Defence Against the Dark Arts test?" Harry asked, probably trying to lighten the mood. With schoolwork. Thats how bad it was.
"Im not sure. Professor Renard said the Erectus Charm would be on there, didnt she? She never got through the name without giggling," Hermione responded, flustered.
"Whats it matter? You know how to do it," I pointed out. "For that matter, you know everything. Thats one of the perks of being a know-it-all."
Hermione didnt bother to respond, but I imagine she rolled her eyes. She was looking through her bag for her Defence Against the Dark Arts textbook, so I couldnt be sure.
She slammed it on the table and flipped through it. Her brow furrowed as she concentrated on the pages, her fingers swiftly but gently tracing their way through the words, like a swan riding on the clwell, er, thats not exactly important.
"Ah!" she cried, finding the spell. "The Erectus Charm. It leaves the victim standing perfectly straight, unable to bend his neck, waist, or knees."
"Well whats the point of that?" Harry pointed out. "They can still use their wand."
"Yes, but you can get out of their way, and its not as if theyre about to follow you. They cant move their legs. And theres no counterspell for it, you just have to let it run its course."
"Well, lets hope shes not teaching that to the seventh years. Imagine the havoc the twins would wreak with a spell like that," I observed. Just then, the bell rang, and we ran off to be tested on the Erectus Charm and other such temporary-but-incurable curses.
You can yell at me about Krum now.
Really, go ahead.
The snogging will commence soon, never you worry. It just takes time, and patience. Rome wasnt built in a day you know. Theres been unresolved sexual tension for five years now; they can wait a few more chapters.

"kung fu legends" in Mandarin & Cantonese (by equivalent of BBC, recommended! of Hong Kong) rthk.hk 香港電台網站: 功夫傳奇
rthk.hk 香港電台網站: 功夫傳奇
I previously blogged this, but didn't realised the title was only in Chinese.
suggestion is that you bear it and watch it, if you have simple mandarin understanding,
especially recommended for those that have penchant for asian kung fu films, this is the real stuff!
we have to get UFCs in China and get some of these guys into the ring, my guess is that the present UFC Champs will be annihilated..
pure speculations of course! ;-)
Joi Ito's BBC - Podcasts - Interview and my thoughts of elitist clubs in purely on and off-line world.
BBC - Podcasts - Interview
Joi Ito 30Jul10
Fri, 30 Jul 10
27 mins
Joi Ito is an investor in early stage internet projects and he has backed some big successes including twitter and flickr. He thinks that about one in ten of these start-ups returns a decent amount, but the big ones -- the Googles and the Yahoos -- come once every five years. The trick he says, is to be in position when they arrive and his formula for doing so is a curious mix of networking, Buddhist philosophy and serendipity.
very interesting interview..
I have followed the startup scene for a while and this podcast explains how it works, with all these goodie goodie events (leWeb, WeF, TED, DLD), and scratching each other's backs.. and in some instances created brilliant companies.. and tweetups.. yes, generally its access for all, but glad its accepted that there is this elitist club that exists.
I also adopt the class 1 strategy of helping (in someway curating a non profit elitist club) but in the mostly offline business world.. but barrier to entry is much higher, sadly not as much return (yet) as they are all very focused and industries are mostly insulate from others so far (still, for real or perceived)!
Its definitely harder work but we are getting there!
very interesting indeed.
happy flying about and spending time on 'our causes'...

apparently need to bring it to VET, to see the Vet, it will cost UKpounds £10.00 to see him/her at Pets at home, which does not include any treatment/medicines etc.
it would fend for itself in the wild (if it can survive).. and procreate..

My different point of view: China ratings agency says U.S. blocks it from entry | Reuters
China ratings agency says U.S. blocks it from entry | Reuters
I personally think they have a chance but not by trying to convince other regulators to approve them.
There is and must be another way, given the fact that China is the growth engine of the world economy whether or not Chinese Yuan devalues..
maybe one should look at ratings from another angle.
just a thoughts, if one could play a different game, why play the games that other has been playing and it has proven it is not optimal?
just a different point of view.

my 3 comments re Billionaire Brothers Looking To Move Up - Forbes.com
Billionaire Brothers Looking To Move Up - Forbes.com:
"The Fungs' interest in high-end fashion makes sense. According to a World Luxury Association Report, by the end of 2009 luxury product sales in mainland China accounted for about 25% of the global total, replacing the U.S. as No. 2 in the world. China's luxury fashion market grew at an estimated 12.1% in 2009 and is expected to become the world's largest by 2015, Trinity says."
This is a great article,
it highlights key trends which came out time & again, during my discussions with key CXOs in group and individually from MNCs and Entrepreneurs (chatham house rules but I met top guys CEO, COO, head of Business unit (most profitable) of luxury brand, government advisors/lobbists, Government e.g. Citi group, Remy Cointreux, Dior, Capital Today, APCO worldwide, CBBCs etc. )
Where key trends I have observed are:
1.) 2nd and 3rd tier cities have populations in times more than major european developed countries, competitions are much less however, so get there first & maybe even be the 'first' category/high end/premium brand amongst the local population (despite they might not even have considered buying such products), make sense. (of course, product/service might need to be adapted to local tastes/expectation/requirements)
2.) basis of competition might have shifted due to local culture/market structure, as I have previously tweeted briefly on @GarethWong, reason for the earlier profitability and scalable & sustainable growth (& profit) of KFC vs. MacDonald was due to KFC created their own "efficient" and profitable fulfilment arm that meet their own requirements, able to deliver AND keeping cost down. Li & Fung as mentioned in the articled did something similar!?
3.) Wealthy population as viable domestic market for not only foreign brands but also local developed brands. As China will have the most number of millionaires worldwide, it stands to reason that one can 'create' and 'adapt' for this population. However, their taste is being developed as we speak, it is mostly western worshiping so far, but that might most likely be due to lack of choice also.
there are many more but sadly I have only got time for the above three today (well on & off line to prepare for it), I just don't understand how other bloggers can write great and long articles..
back to meeting people in person which I prefer above all else (the pleasant ones anyway!).
Great heritage programmes world over should have these freely broadcasted ..
like BBC's internet revolution.
well done guys!

how do you hide it ? :(
Every time you install or remove another drive recycle bin will auto enable itself on those drives, if someone knows how to completely turn it off leave commit please.
For Windows 7
1) Run Group Policy (Start-Run-Type "gpedit.msc")
2) Goto User Configuration-Administrative Templates-Windows Components-Windows Explorer
3) Enable the "Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin" policy
For anyone who's curious how to disable the recycle bin in Windows 7 for all drives from the command line, this registry edit seems to work:
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoRecycleFiles /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Non-command line equivalent:
1. Use regedit.exe
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
3. Create a new DWORD named NoRecycleFiles with value 1.
I searched for hours for this before getting anything close to this answer (I ended up having to use a little intuition and just try this registry edit under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hoping that it would apply globally as I only found a solution for the current user: HKEY_CURRENT_USER).
Thanks Ben!
The Recycle Bin icon isn't on your desktop??That's odd Anyway, the Recycle Bin can be set to deetle stuff when the folder reaches a certain size.You don't have to manually deetle stuff in that hidden folder. Manually deleting the stuff will not make your computer slower. If you leave the stuff there, then that won't make your computer run slower either.

I've Moved!
Hi and thanks for stopping by.
I've moved from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. Effective January 22, 2010, you can find me at The OCD Chick.
Hope to see you there!
New York Gets Jack'd! 24 Season Premiere Live Diary – Part II
Welcome back! It's time for Part II of my epic 24 Season 8 premiere live blog. In case you missed Part I from last night (which covered 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm), you can check it out right here.
When we last left off, we had tallied a total body count of nine through the first two hours (nine in the first hour, zero in the second).
Here's our cast of characters so far: In addition to "I've got a plane to catch" Jack Bauer, Chloe O'Brian and President A. Taylor (the A stands for Awesome), we met:
- CTU Agent Fembot (Dana Walsh) who has a secret trailer trash past and is engaged to…
- CTU Agent Freddie Prinze Jr.
- NYC Director Hastings (I don't have a nickname for him yet) UPDATE: WE HAVE A NICKNAME: CTU Chief Bubba Hunch
- A new presidential chief of staff who may or may not be trustworthy (no nickname yet)
- Arlo the incompetent or idiotic CTU analyst (who may or may not be a mole)
- Level 1 Bad Guy (aka Horace Goodspeed and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog) who appears to be leading a conspiracy to assassinate…
- President Omar Hassan of generic Islamic nation (aka Slumdog Millionaire Who Wants To Be a Millionaire Host), in town to sign a landmark peace treaty
- President Slumdog Millionaire has been interviewed by and appears to be having dirty western thoughts about the journalist Meredith Reed (aka Jessica Stein)
- Jessica Stein may or may not be just a decoy in the plot to assassinate President Slumdog Millionaire or actually involved.
So here we go with my live diary/would-be Tale of the Tweets for Part Two of the premiere of Day Eight of 24. Let's get to the ass-kicking and body count, shall we?
Reggie Bush Bear and Beary Fitzgerald are at the bar! #yesiamafootballdork

NFL Survivor Post-Mortem and Divisional Quick Picks
Without survivor to play for, I just couldn't get motivated to do a full preview and picks post. Plus I'm still devastated over losing last week thanks to Green Bay's failure. After the come back! And winning the toss! Oy, Packers. You killed me. And everybody else for that matter. One guy picked Arizona. He won. The survivor pool is, to quote Iron Chef, "o-vah!"
Survivor Post-Mortem
1. I apologize to the Cardinals and Cardinals' fans for not picking them last week. I say this not just because it knocked me out of the survivor pool, but because I should have picked them based on the fact that I went to a game at University of Phoenix Stadium this season. And it was an awesome crowd. And I had so much fun. Just look at this picture!
2. More importantly, I really should have picked the Ravens. If you look at my pre-game preview, I was not sold on the Patriots at all. And I hate them. So I would have aligned my rooting and gambling interests. Which is always ideal. Oh well.
Divisional Quick Picks
I don't have time to do a full pro and con breakdown for this weekend's divisional games, but here are my quick picks:
Saints over Cardinals
- This comes down to home field advantage. Both teams have big-play capability and are in some ways mirror images of one another.
- The Saints are at home, the crowd will be insane, so I'm taking the Saints.
- Also, did you see what Green Bay did to the Arizona defense last week? Yeah, me too.
- I think they miss Boldin more this week than last. Just a hunch.
- Caution: takeaways can disappear. Saints had 26 takeaways this season, 3rd in NFL. The Packers taught us this lesson last week. Just something to keep an eye out for.
- P.S. I would gladly root for either Arizona or New Orleans over both Dallas and Minnesota, but alas, I have to choose.
Ravens over Colts
- I don't like the Colts' lying down the last two weeks and the football gods will punish them.
- The Colts have lost their last 3 games coming off the bye week to start the playoffs.
- Ravens have momentum and Ray Rice.
- Flacco is healthier.
- Plus, the Michael Oher factor. Do not underestimate the Michael Oher/Blind Side factor
- Also we know that Indy's home field advantage no longer exists since they moved to the new dome.
Cowboys over Vikings
- This hurts. A lot. I hate both teams so I would really love to see them both lose. Seeing as that's not possible, I am picking the Cowboys. They are playing great and I think they will contain Brett Favre.
- On a personal note, I will root for the Vikings because even though I hate He Who Shall Not Be Named, I have a lot of friends in the land of 10,000 lakes, and they love their Vikings. So Go Vikings!
- But I'm picking the Cowboys. Sorry.
- I need to shower I feel so dirty.
Upset special: Jets over Chargers
- Yes, the Chargers are hot. Yes, the Chargers are at home. Yes, the Chargers are everybody's favorite to go to the Super Bowl.
- But I'm sticking with the recipe of great defense and great rushing. The Jets have both. The Chargers do not. Period. End of story. I said last week that great rushing and defense wins playoff games on the road. I'll say it again.
- And if it rains, that benefits the Jets.
- Plus, Revis shuts down Jackson. I am worried about Antonio Gates.
- I expect to lose this one, but might as well go with my heart.
- I do like the Jets to cover even if they don't win outright.

Four Brothers and Four Wives
I don't remember posting this picture before. These are four of my father's eight brothers and their wives.
Of the eight people in the picture, only one is still alive, Ruby. Ruby is the first lady on the right. Her husband Jack is behind her. Jack was at Pearl Harbor and had his 15 minutes when he saved Eddie Rickenbacker's life in the Pacific.
The next is "Bus" or Robert Ray. He was a lineman for a R.E.M.C. company. He almost became a professional wrestler. He had a reputation for being very strong. In front of him is his wife Zelma. Their only son Jerry was a pilot, shot down and killed in Viet Nam – In a way, it took their life from them.
The next was Stanley who fought at Normandy at D-Day but didn't like to talk about it. He and his wife Sarah had two sons.
The last is Doug. At one time Doug was scouted to be a professional baseball player. He was one of the funniest and wittiest people I have ever met. His wife Lolagene was a great story book reader for kids at the library.

The next meeting of the Gothic Reading Group will tackle some fiction by J.S. Le Fanu, as we head into the nineteenth century and look at some classic 'Victorian Gothic.' Le Fanu has been on the cards for some time, having been one of the first authors suggested by GRG members in the 2012-13 year; it's great to finally take a look at some of his work. Our flagship text for this meeting will be Le Fanu's great vampire novella Carmilla. In the following preview blog Lauren Nixon picks up where the last session left us and takes a look at Carmilla's place in a broader tradition of vampire fiction, pre- and post-dating the Victorian period.

Recollections - 2013-14 Session Six: Selections from John Stagg's The Minstrel of the North
Last week the Gothic Reading Group met to discuss a selection of pieces by the largely forgotten Romantic poet, John Stagg. Much of the conversation revolved around Stagg's place in relation to an existing scholarly understanding of the 18th and 19th century Gothic. This has lead Mark to produce a longer blog post than usual, framing the group's discussion of Stagg within a broader set of musings on canonicity and the Gothic. Rest assured, no substantive conclusions will be reached. If you (quite understandably) just want to read about Demon Lovers and Vampyres, skip ahead to the sub-heading.

Foreshadowings: John Stagg, A Forgotten Gothic Poet
This week the Gothic Reading Group will boldly go where (to the best of our knowledge) no scholars have gone before as we tackle the forgotten Romantic-era poet, John Stagg. Ahead of the session Mark has been pondering where best to situate Stagg in our existing sense of eighteenth and nineteenth-century Gothic writing and doing some background research on the author's career. The results are quite interesting. . .

Recollections - 2013-14 Session Five: Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982) and Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968)
The Gothic Reading Group met for our first session last week, with a screening of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and an accompanying discussion of its source novella, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? As always, we were keen to break some new ground. This was our first meeting discussing two different media and, perhaps, our first meeting discussing material that wasn't as obviously 'Gothic' as our usual fare. Part of our remit with the Gothic Reading Group is to explore materials at the periphery of the accepted 'Gothic canon' (or beyond!) and our discussion did us proud in using these materials to tackle the relationship between Gothic and Science Fiction. In the following blog post Kathleen reviews some of that discussion and asks how we might use the Gothic as a route into interpreting related materials.

On Monday, fertilizer and seed seller Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE:SMG) announced that Chief Financial Officer Dave Evans has resigned from the company to take a similar job at Columbus-based Battelle, "the world's largest nonprofit research and development organization."
In a public statement, Evans described his mixed emotions leaving Scotts but that the opportunity to take a dream job with an organization boasting "a commitment to science and technology for the greater good" appeared too strong to resist. Nevertheless, Evans says he will remain with Scotts until it has filed its Q1 earnings report in mid-February and will furthermore work "actively" to help the company locate and hire his replacement and provide for "an orderly transition."
Scotts shares tumbled on the news regardless, ending the day down 3.7% at $44.01.

This is the bathroom afterwards. We made the ceiling vaulted and painted the walls in Leaden by the Little Green Paint Company. It actually does not feel that dark when your in there. We added a free standing bath. I found my lovely Art Deco mirror in a charity shop which cost£5.00 and I love it.

The Edmonton Arts Council has created several documents that offer a vision for arts and culture in Edmonton.
The Art of Living
The Art of Living is an exciting step towards fostering a sustainable and progressive cultural environment in the City of Edmonton – an environment that integrates culture into everyday life and one that strives to retain and attract cultural practitioners.
Public Art Master Plan
EDMONTON PUBLIC ART MAP is a Public Art Master Plan that was approved by Edmonton City Council in September 2008.
TIX on the Square Promotions Toolkit
This tool-kit is a practical approach to getting ready to dive in and promote your event through a variety of tried-and-true techniques.
Audit of the Edmonton Arts Council's Programs & Offerings
Edmonton Arts Council (EAC) began a process to audit its practices and policies in the context of cultural diversity and sustainable support for the Aboriginal arts community. Since these audits were completed, and accepted by our board, the EAC has made considerable progress on a number of the recommendations.

Cultural Investment by the City of Edmonton, 2009-2012
Report prepared by Kelly Hill, of Hill Strategies Research Inc.
In 2013-2014, the Edmonton Arts Council participated in a study with Hill Strategies Research and six other Canadian municipalities of similar size/population (Edmonton, Richmond, Saskatoon, Windsor, Hamilton, Oakville, Halifax) to benchmark municipal investment in the arts, culture, and heritage, and to track variation in investment levels since 2009.

EAC History
The Development of the Edmonton Arts Council
The creation of the Edmonton Arts Council (EAC) was a long and, at times, annoyingly slow process but, in retrospect, that slow pace was ideal and resulted in a stronger, sturdier organization with amazingly solid support from all parts of the community.
Economic Impacts of "Arts and Culture" in the Greater Edmonton Region - 2005
The "Arts and Culture" community in Edmonton is an established and very vibrant part of Edmonton's mosaic. This study provides an analysis of the economic/financial impacts that the "Arts and Culture" sector has on the economy of the Greater Edmonton Region.

I read a lot of marketing and advertising blogs. I read a lot about innovative advertising and cool strategies. We get those email forwards or postings on Facebook with all the cool billboard ads. We all go "That is so cool." In fact, as I'm working on this, WordPress is popping up links for me to add at the bottom (which I will) about 15 cool billboards or creative advertising.
But it's all sort of a mystery. How'd they come up with that? Where'd they get that idea? Because it's nice for us to admire it. As consumers. But as marketers, advertisers, or just communicators, there's a danger of re-creation. Of hacking your own wheel out of stone and going "Look what I invented." Not so fast, there, Mungo.
I'm a marketing and advertising professor who has to help students figure out how to create their own innvoative stuff, not re-create some innovative stuff somebody else did (thus making it quite non-innovative for the students). So I'll do the same thing here that you see on other blogs, showing the cool stuff, the strategies. But I'll try and add the seeds of how it was either done, or how it might have been done, or at the very least, how it is an example of a creative process that a student could learn from to create their own stuff.
I'll also look at stuff that isn't in a marketing context at all (or at least, not advertising). Street art & graffiti, art installations, or anything else that strikes me and talk about how it might be harnessed for a strategic purpose. Making a new connection between two currently unconnected things: That's creativity.
So it's like a class, only without being tested at the end. Unless you are one of my students, in which case, POP QUIZ, get out your pencils…
