10.0.0 - 2017-04-04
standard just turned 10.0.0! 🎉
As with every new major release, there are lots of new rules in 10.0.0 designed to help catch bugs and make programmer intent more explicit.
standard is more popular than ever – 330,000 downloads per month! It's even
more popular – 670,000 downloads per month – if you include the
shareable ESLint config
that we also publish.
The most important change in 10.0.0 is that using deprecated Node.js APIs is now considered an error. It's finally time to update those dusty old APIs!
Deprecated APIs are problematic because they may print warning messages in the console in recent versions of Node.js. This often confuses users and leads to unnecessary support tickets for project maintainers.
Some deprecated APIs are even insecure (or at least prone to incorrect usage) which
can have serious security implications. For that reason,
standard now considers
usage of
Buffer(num) to be an error, since this function returns uninitialized
program memory which could contain confidential information like passwords or keys.
Instead of
Buffer(num), consider using
Buffer.alloc(num) or
which make the programmer's intent clearer. These functions exist in all currently
supported versions of Node.js, including Node.js 4.x. For more background,
see this Node.js issue.
We also improved some rules to support common patterns in code bases that use React, JSX, and Flow.
When you upgrade, consider running
standard --fix to automatically fix some of
the issues caught by this new version.
New features
- Update ESLint from 3.15.x to 3.19.x.

Buffer.alloc()) are used instead of
- Enforce callbacks always called with Node.js-style error first (standard/no-callback-literal) #623 (3%)
- Functions named

undefined, or an
Erroras the first argument

9.0.0 - 2017-02-28
It's time for a new major version of
standard! As usual, this release contains a
bunch of awesomeness to help you keep your code in tip-top shape!
We've added several new rules designed to catch potential programmer errors (i.e. bugs), as well as rules to make programmer intent more explicit in certain circumstances.
This release continues our trend of tightening up rules so that, wherever possible, there's one "right" way to do things. This design goal is intended to reduce the time that teams and maintainers spend giving code review feedback in pull requests.
When you upgrade, consider running
standard --fix to automatically fix some of the
errors caught by the new rules in this version.
Note: If you use the Chai test framework, you will need to make some changes to your tests to improve their robustness. Read about the changes you need to make.
New features
- Update ESLint from 3.10.x to 3.15.x
- 3 additional rules are now fixable with
standard --fix
New rules
(Estimated % of affected standard users, based on test suite in parens)

8.3.0 - 2016-09-29
The last release (
8.2.0) added ES7 support. This release (
8.3.0) adds ES8
support ...just 3 days later!
This release should eliminate the need to specify
babel-eslint as a custom
parser, since
standard can now parse ES8 (i.e. ES2017) syntax out of the box.
That means
async and
await will just work.
- Support ES8 (i.e. ES2017) syntax.
8.2.0 - 2016-09-26
For many users, this release should eliminate the need to specify
babel-eslint as
a custom parser, since
standard can now parse ES7 (i.e. ES2016) syntax out of the
- Support ES7 (i.e. ES2016) syntax.

- Update ESLint from 3.3.x to 3.5.x
- Around 10 additional rules are now fixable with
standard --fix
8.0.0 - 2016-08-23
This release contains a bunch of goodies, including new rules that catch potential programmer errors (i.e. bugs) and enforce additional code consistency.
However, the best feature is surely the new
--fix command line flag to
automatically fix problems. If you ever used
and ran into issues with the lack of ES2015+ support, you'll be happy about
standard --fix is built into
standard v8.0.0 for maximum convenience, it
supports ES2015, and it's lightweight (no additional dependencies since it's part
of ESLint which powers
standard). Lots of problems are already fixable, and more
are getting added with each ESLint release.
standard also outputs a message ("Run
standard --fix to automatically fix
some problems.") when it detects problems that can be fixed automatically so you
can save time!
standard v8.0.0, we are also dropping support for Node.js versions prior to
v4. Node.js 0.10 and 0.12 are in maintenance mode and will be unsupported at the
end of 2016. Node.js 4 is the current LTS version. If you are using an older
version of Node.js, we recommend upgrading to at least Node.js 4 as soon as
possible. If you are unable to upgrade to Node.js 4 or higher, then we recommend
continuing to use
standard v7.x until you are ready to upgrade Node.js.
Important: We will not be updating the
standard v7.x versions going forward.
All bug fixes and enhancements will land in
standard v8.x.

The Stories We TellMy husband and I had a fairy tale beginning. But as you know, fairy tales often have a dark side, too; and this is the journey, the transformation, the catalyst of any true fairy tale. For nothing light can exist without darkness; and the mind must have it's play.
Lately I've been observing my mind change the fairy tale story, so that the very same words that began our journey have now become the shadow. For example, "our marriage is a test of faith and obedience, it is hukam." This once inspiring line has now become a source of doubt within me: He's just doing this out of duty; he doesn't really want to be married. There are other examples but this isn't a post about my insecurity (because we're not supposed to reveal it!); it's a testament to the power of the mind and the stories we tell ourselves.
This polarity exists in everything. But what I find fascinating is that the polarity stems from the same thing--like a flip of the coin--there's only one coin but there are two sides. So the story that once inspired great confidence in my marriage and its origins, now plants seeds of insecurity and doubt. Why? Because my mind is telling a different story with the same words! In the same way, the things we find most charming about someone in the beginning often become the source of our greatest aggravations later. How is it possible? It's simply the nature of polarity; and it's our job to watch the play and come to neutrality. To no longer attach to any story--negative or positive--and simply be. Simply love. Simply share.
Drop the story. Forget about the plot. Quit telling yourself how things have always ended. Just be in the moment, and let yourself be. Be to Be. Be Free.

The over-ear headphones
Now they look much better than the last ones
Better design and not too shabby 40mm drivers Although I can see comments coming about the micro-USB
Ooh those look comfy, and with 40mm drivers I can see myself blasting away the tunes. Hopefully they have at least a 12 hour battery if not more so I can jam all day
According to the manual they should have 20hrs from a 2.5 hr charge. Hopefully some of these will be up for testing
Sweet, and yes I am with you on the testing part
Anyone know how long the aux cable is? This looks better than the last post of over the ear style
Looks nice. I'd like to test those out. But what's with the micro-USB . - Sorry just had to mention it @ndalby. But the ear pads could be a little larger for those with larger ears.
Theses headphones needBT 5.0 USB Type-C charge inputBraided audio aux cableHard case leather or braided nylonDeeper ear padsI could also see a similar wired design and adjustable microphone being used for gaming earphones / headset.
If these headphones are around my budget level i would so buy them they remind me of my old Sol Republic Master Tracks headphones that I used to have
Deeper earpads? They already look pretty deep to me.
Bluetooth 5.0 would be nice, but at the same time, what audio benefits does it provide? I was under the impression that bluetooth audio quality depended less on the bluetooth version and more on the audio codec.
Also, I don't think I've ever bought a pair of headphones that came with a hard case, and that includes some pretty nice over-ear options.
Those look super comfy but on the heavy side. It will be interesting to hear reviews when it comes out.
Not much deeper maybe another quarter inch but it would help a lot if you intended to wear these headphones for hours on end or if these are ever adopted into wired gaming headphones.
Bluetooth 5.0 because it has double the bandwidth And better range.
I have a pair of Klipsch on-ear headphones that came with a leather hard case that I was extremely impressed with the Protective hard case and was a major selling point and protect the headphones keeping them looking brand new.
I would gladly pay 200$ give or take 25$ for headphones with all of my requested features.
Great suggestions for future versions! I'm sure @AnkerOfficial and @AnkerTechnical are listening
To recap the main differences between these and the SoundCore Space...
We're looking at 2.5 hours to charge vs 3, and the design is a little different, as @ndalby mentioned. This leads me to believe it's a smaller battery because the input appears to be identical.These are also slightly heavier at 288g vs 259g (10oz vs 9.14oz).Impedance is 16 vs 32.
Everything else looks to be the same (driver size, frequency response, BT version/range, etc.)
I really like to see these discussion before the product official released.
If that is true then why do not announce tentative products here directly rather than the proxy of the FCC?
Before the product is officially released, it actually cannot be exposed too earlier by our employees.
Now available on Amazon.
wow Im digging these headphones hopefully i test them out or buy them after saving some money and there kinda not too expensive

For those of us who are considered to be from the millennial generation, security and comfort is something many of us have struggled to find at times. With a political system that only seems to come together when it serves to keep us down, following in the meek footsteps of the Baby Boomer parents who worked endlessly to keep us safe and sound, a majority of us are left wandering through life feeling numb and without purpose.
At least that's the story that the Charleston, South Carolina-based new-age blues band Stop Light Observations is telling in their new track "Security".
The song begins with the eerie echo of xylophone notes, and is soon after commandeered by frontman Will Blackburn, who goes off on a poetic tangent about the false sense of security that the millennial generation seeks through consumerism and endless labor.
"I guess this is reality/ this product I must really need/ when I get it I'll be happy/ all I need is security," Blackburn croons in a soft tone. The song itself is bright and spontaneous, featuring a bellowing and harmonious bridge that wakes the listener up from the mundaneness of everyday reality.
"Millennials have gotten to watch their parents achieve moderate to great success on average, while also getting to observe successes lack of happiness that it fulfills. We spend our lives working so we can provide for our children instead of spending time with our children. America is experiencing a numb state, and as a millennial I feel confident that my generation can speak for this truth the best. We have been spoiled to the point where material has no luster. I believe a great shift is on its way and "Security" is my way of saying it," band member John-Keith Culbreth stated.
Stop Light Observations has also taken a crack at the American political system with their cover art for "Security" and their previously released single "Aquarius Apocalyptic".
On "Security", the cover art features a cartoonish rendition of Hillary Clinton with hair made of scandalous emails. On "Aquarius Apocalyptic", the band uses a similarly styled picture of Donald Trump, who has his hair made out of cold hard cash. These two new tracks, along with their first single "Dinosaur Bones", will all be featured on the band's upcoming album Toogoodoo, which is scheduled to drop on August 26.

I applied for a writing residency at Vermont Studio Center in June 2014. I got the news that I had been accepted a month later in late July. I had heard great things about the residency. As for the town it resides in, Johnson, Vermont, I had never heard of it. No one else, it seemed, had either. Being from New England, however, I spent some time in Vermont: a family vacation here, a school ski trip there and even a few times post-college when I was invited by my roommate who was born and raised in the state. So while I didn't know about Johnson specifically, I knew I could count on a small town in Vermont to be quiet, rural and beautiful – a nice change from my usual city life.
I was going to write so much. I brought a short story to work on and the ideas for the ones that would follow it. And as I tried to write these stories, stories taking place in New York City and Los Angeles, I stalled. Not quite writer's block but it felt all wrong. Why was I writing stories about cities far away? Why did I need to come here to write these stories? And what about the stories of Johnson, Vermont?
Setting aside my city stories and my laptop, I left my studio and headed into town. I visited the shops and the restaurants. I talked to employees and to my surprise, many owners of these businesses. I sat at the coffee shop for an hour and mostly just observed the flow of patrons coming to caffeinate. I did my laundry at the Laundromat and a woman approached me for conversation. I revisited stores and people I had met. I visited the public library and the one at the college – I checked out books at both. I was able to help out in an art class of the elementary school and interacted with third graders. I even chopped a good 6-7 inches off my hair just to see if the hairdressers would share any good town gossip with me (they did). I talked to as many people as I could.
Of course, being a writer and being in Johnson, Vermont for the sole purpose of writing, I wanted to retell the stories that were shared with me. Again, I found some challenges. While I was in the right place to tell these stories, I didn't feel I earned that privilege yet. A month is long enough to get a feel of a place but it's not long enough to really know it. There are people in Johnson who knew me by name after a few weeks, others recognized me as a friendly face but to many, I was still a stranger. I came and left Johnson, VT as a tourist. And how do tourists remember the story of their time in another place? Snapshots.
The following ten stories, attached to postcards, are the snapshot stories that I took with me to remember my first (hopefully not last) time in Johnson, Vermont.
I. Oh no, I've only been up here for three – four – five – ten years. I'm originally from Wyoming – New Jersey – New York – Newburyport, Massachusetts.
II. I moved up here when I was a kid. Used to go down to the river with bubble gum stuck to a paperclip on a string. I was able to catch some big fish. That's how I got the nickname Blue-eyed Trout.
IV. One time we were robbed. He took a candle and the cashbox. He was pretty stupid though – put his face right into the camera! And then he grabbed a Pepsi out of the fridge and left. He was caught.
VI. Do you know Blank Space? By Taylor Swift? It's why I painted these flames in the background.
VII. He fell asleep at Penn station and missed his train – the only train to Burlington. He could catch a train to Connecticut and I could drive four hours in the pouring rain to pick him up. I asked my mother what I should do. "Go get the bastard," she said.
VIII. He almost always got the soup. Today's soup was split pea soup. It reminded him of his mother. She used to make pea soup. The secret to making a good pea soup is to make sure it never gets too hammy. This pea soup, like his mother's had the perfect amount of ham.
IX. I'd rather live here with my parents than with some asshole somewhere else.
X. They came, they sang, they... well, then they left. They always do.

I recently finished Jesus and the Victory of God (JVG), volume 2 in the Christian Origins and the Question of God series by N.T. Wright. Prior to that, I first read volume 3, The Resurrection of the Son of God (RSG), and later volume 1, The New Testament and the People of God (NTPG). Much like this blog post's title, these books are rather lengthy. Not including the appendices, bibliographies, and other indices, they are 476, 662, and 738 pages for volumes 1-3, respectively. It took me several years to slog through these books, not because they are boring—on the contrary, Wright's writing style is exceptionally engaging—but because I am a slow interactive reader. Now that I finished these 3 volumes, I need to save up to get the fourth, which is something like 1700 pages at the cost of about $80.
Before I dive into the next volume, Paul and the Forgiveness of God, I believe I should sum up the first 3 volumes for my own benefit to ensure that I am rightly following Wright. Below is my brief synopsis of the first three volumes of this series.
The New Testament and the People of God
The New Testament provides stories that show elements of praxis and symbols pertinent to the Second Temple First Century Judaism of which Jesus was included and out of which Christians emerged. As such, it is not a privatized spiritual guide but a public proclamation of a subversive narrative about a creator and the world. Indeed, ". . . history, literature and theology belong together" (NTPG 471). The story—history, literature, and theology—are "rooted in Israel's past, and designed to continue into the world's future" (476). In addition, the New Testament "repeated the Jewish claim: this story concerns not just a god but God. It revised the Jewish evidence: the claim is made good, not in national liberation, but in the events concerning Jesus" (476).
Jesus and the Victory of God
Jesus was a eschatological kingdom prophet/Messiah by vocation who
believed himself to be the focal point of the people of YHWH, the returned-from-exile people, the people of the renewed covenant, the people whose sins were now to be forgiven. He embodied what he had announced. He was the true interpreter of Torah; the true builder of the Temple; the true spokesperson for Wisdom. (JVG 538)
The result of his life, death, and resurrection was to bring about the return of the King—YHWH.
Now, in the conclusion to the volume, Wright states practically out of nowhere that the resurrection, however it is to be understood, was the validation for Jesus as Messiah and to give any relevance to his words and actions long after his death (659). He went on to state,
But if he was an eschatological prophet/Messiah, announcing the kingdom and dying in order to bring it about, the resurrection would declare that he had in principle succeeded in his task, and that his earlier redefinitions of the coming kingdom had pointed to a further task awaiting his followers, that of implementing what he had achieved. Jesus, after all, as a good first-century Jew, believed that Israel functioned to the rest of the world as the hinge to the door; what he had done for Israel, he had done in principle for the whole world. It makes sense, within his aims as we have studied them, to suppose that he envisaged his followers becoming in their turn Isaianic heralds, lights to the world. (660)
I believe volume 4 will be focused on Paul's missionary work to be the light unto the world and to bring about Jesus' vision for his followers to implement what he had achieved, but RSG is all about the resurrection, which he did not cover in JVG.
The Resurrection of the Son of God
History does not work in logical or mathematical proof theorems; it works in the probability of unrepeatable events. The resurrection is one such event, and Jesus' resurrection as an event sufficiently and necessarily explains the later Christian belief about Jesus as the Son of God and not the other way around. No other explanation will suffice. The resurrection of the Son of God itself has three meanings. First, "Jesus is Israel's Messiah. In him, the creator's covenant plan, to deal with the sin and death that has so radically infected his world, has reached its long-awaited and decisive fulfillment" (RSG 728). Second, "The resurrection constitutes Jesus as the world's true sovereign, the 'son of god' who claims absolute allegiance from everyone and everything within creation. He is the start of the creator's new world: its pilot project, indeed its pilot" (731). And, third, "The resurrection . . . declares that Jesus really is God's Son . . ." (735). He is what would later be described as the second person of the Trinity. The resurrection shows God's involvement in his creation, that he exists and acts in space and time (735-6).

How to escape10th April 2017
I finally got in at sixish yesterday, my daughter eagerly trying out her new special shoe for her dislocated toe (even when she'd been told the amount she walks on it). Impossible to hold her back! By them time everything was sorted we managed to crash at almost eight, completely knackered.
Anyway, on with the story
My uncle's farm was my main idea behind the inside of the mill, picturing the thin stairway and solid black front door made from thick oak. So when zombies poured into the mill, Wilhelm and Tom were able to hold them off for a while at the door before it collapses inward.
Of course, becoming trapped and somehow managing to find a way to escape is what zombie books are all about so a door into the yard out the back was smashed down. Now they were surrounded and the only way was up.
But I'd already worked out where their path was taking them. The tight stairs allowed Wilhelm to hold the dead back longer before they finally became trapped in a room overlooking the river and…the waterwheel. I'm not sure where I pictured it from, the idea of them climbing out and leaping into the water, but I've definitely seen a few mills in my time. I visited Aberdulais waterfalls where the watermill is shown and I know there used to be one where my parents live. There's a history of several in the Neath area, so perhaps its this that made it come to me.
Either way, the precarious route out almost takes our three survivor's lives and they soon find themselves swept down river.

Filing an appeal for a sentence reduction is similar to filing any other type of appeal notice. By learning the proper procedures and filing your appeal on time, you may be able to get your or your client's sentence reduced.
Find a friend, family member or attorney to assist you in an appeal if you are still in jail or prison. While institutions offer law libraries, you will often need outside help to get forms filed and fees paid.
Get an appeal form. Appeal forms are often available from the clerk of the court. Make sure you get the proper form, however, because there are different appeal forms for a sentence reduction.
Determine who will receive your appeal form by checking with your local court clerk. Some states have clemency boards that are solely responsible for sentence reductions, while others rely on local judges.
Fill out your appeal form accordingly. Be sure to fill in all fields and attach any necessary paperwork to notify the court of your request for a sentence reduction.
Ask for a fee waiver form if you or your client cannot pay the filing fees. Make sure to fill out this form and hand it in when you file the rest of the appeal paperwork.
Hand deliver the appeal to the court or governing board to make sure it arrives on time. Don't forget to pay any filing fees.

If I ruled the world, I would want to know what kind of a messed-up set of circumstances had brought this strange situation into being. Is it some sort of zombie apocalypse? Because if that's what's occurred, then it boils down to me wandering around the deserted city with a rifle shooting the undead through the brain, and that's all there is to it really. Maybe looking for a woman of child-bearing age to restock the planet with humans. Although you've got to say, in defence of zombies, that they are unlikely to pollute the earth as badly as we, the predead, have.

REPRESS ALERT: Understood to be the work of Earl Jeffers, this fresh slice of white label edit goodness comes with four chopped up jams honed for ultimate dancefloor impact. First up is "Thank You", which takes a tough house backdrop and throws some fiery soul down on top of it in a manner you could imagine Moodymann dropping with satisfaction. "Badadu" meanwhile heads into a more delirious headspace, the sampling meeting with fierce showers of synth FX and a generally raucous arrangement. There are no prizes for guessing what "D-D-D" samples, but it does so with all the fireworks you would want from a house re-rub of such a classic. "The Paper" makes for a fine finishing move with its choppy vocal slices and swooning strings.

PeerGuardian Interview
December 10, 2003
Thomas Mennecke
PeerGuardian has become one of the more essential tools of the file-sharing trade. Considering the ferocity of the RIAA's campaign against the P2P world, the community has been quick to counter this strike. PeerGuardian has stepped up to the challenge by providing software that blocks known IP addresses, typically from the RIAA and its minions, from scanning your shared directory. We would like to thank PeerGuardian for their time and efforts, and
for conducting and contributing this interview to Slyck.com.
Speak briefly about the origins of Peerguardian.net and it's current state.
PeerGuardian.net was born from the need [to] have a unique portal to solve PeerGuardian application problems.
"Eremini" originally conceived the idea and founded the site. The forums at Methlabs, while very useful, were not providing all the answers that we were looking for, so these forums were born. However Peerguardian.net has become more than just a support tool for the PeerGuardian application. We have grown in size and improved the content, we have created Firewall support forums, International support forums, and we have also created a news team which cover most of the P2P related news around the globe.
One of our biggest assets is the PGIPDB (PeerGuardian IP Database) where we have concentrated almost the 80 % of the resources with the invaluable help of Seraphiel who works on the maintenance of the Database, also "DingDongDing" aka "ddd", and "Bluetack", who is the Owner of the site and Administrator.
"Bluetack" has created the Block List Manager, which now interacts with the PGIPDB his help, commitment effort and patience is what really has us only on this day. His dedication is invaluable. The continuous effort to improve our site is what we all have to look to for an example.
Is there a limit to the number of IP ranges that can be blocked?
The amount of IP ranges that are specifically anti-P2P is finite, so the scope of PeerGuardian as an anti-P2P blocklist is also finite. However, there are plans to generate other lists that cover other types of blocklist such as Government & Military, Hacker, Spammer, Spyware and so on.
No limit so far, as I'm blocking well over 7800 IP address for testing and everything is still working fine.
Until IPv6 becomes the standard then there are only so many IP addresses that you can have, it's just the matter now of finding out what is where and how to address them.
I think there is no limit on the IP ranges that we have covered how ever should not be more than the 25% of the net ( I hope.)
PeerGuardian.net is not only forum support, but is also a portal of Internet security. Tell us about it's features.
The forums are predominantly support based, for people wanting to know about PeerGuardian, IP blocking using firewalls and discussing the PGIPDB. We have International forums for those that would prefer to speak in their native tongue, and regular news. Beyond that, there are members only tools for converting the PGIPDB blocklist to different formats and getting network information about Internet addresses. We also have an IRC server where users can chat with us for more interactive assistance.
Well from my point if view as News Editor I am interested in the news that we provide in the portal. Since PeerGuardian is now becoming widely used, with as many as 1 million downloads, and more than 7000 members on the forum, I thought that it was time to start publishing the news that is important to our community. While this is a new venture, we aim to provide information on our (very specialized) area of interest. We do not aim to compete with other news providers, but simply to place an unbiased view of the conflicts that affect the digital world today. We are also interested in covering issues in places outside the United States, an area often ignored by major news companies (many of which still do not address the issues of privacy in any real depth).
The other areas of our portal are far more developed, such as our guides and FAQ. We also now have direct database access, and we keep track of the issues users face from the various anti-P2P organizations, and use some of this to judge the IP ranges that we need to block. It is a challenge to work like this: we are beginning to realize the scale of what we are up against. However, I believe that we can achieve our aims, the way the Internet works, means that we can eventually check every single IP address through the whois databases, and the rest is just detective work on behalf of our users.
PeerGuardian.net has become like a centre for the PeerGuardian project, as well as many other aspects of privacy and security, and we must not forget our responsibility to our members. We're more than just a little underground forum now.
Well thanks to the effort of people as Seraphielx, Dingdongding, Bluetack and the_dial_up_boy (Bullet) we have formed a security forum where we discuss applications that have as they primary goal to get information about companies so we can improve our security measures.
Why do they (the IP range enemies) monitor us; what are their priorities?
Its all about money. The economy is down and they want cash, plain and simple. The companies are not doing that well in their business because people are not spending as much money on music and movies.
Well it think they mostly are searching for warez people which I think is good, however the methods are not the right ones, big corporations can't violate our rights to protect their profit margins.
I feel today that the web is sort of like where an average pc user is swimming in a sea full of sharks. Is there something that you would say to the average user?
If you don't have a firewall, get one. Internet privacy is a valuable commodity which we should all aim to preserve.
If your blocking their IP address then you can at the least keep a few of your arms, because if you are blocking an IP address that computer cannot connect to your computer.
Keep informed. Visit our site or any other related place, support the places that dedicate his effort to give you security and information, read every day about what is out at the market and share the info with others become a part of the solution and no a part of the sued ones
Yes, do not give up. The more people stand up against law changes and breaches of privacy, the more likely we are to be saved. Remember that the issue is about money, if the scanning is not cost effective, then RIAA etc will not take part. People are beginning to realize that in a world of free speech that corporations do not control the rights to the Internet. What would happen if books were publicly burnt for being incorrectly distributed? I think people would start noticing the situation then.
The exclusive Peerguardian.net initiative is to defend the P2P community. However, are you comfortable leading this attack against powerful copyright holders?
PeerGuardian and its community are working on passive techniques to go up against the anti-P2P organizations. The initiative does not actively attack anti-P2P organizations, and although others are doing this, it is not what we are about. In the end, however, we are two sides of the same coin, we just have different approaches.
If the P2P developers agree to some law which will legalize their networks, would there still be a reason for an user to continue to use PeerGuardian?
Yes. Regardless of whether P2P becomes truly anonymous for the masses, PeerGuardian and IP blocking will still play a role in Internet security. Increasingly, users have their PCs on and connected to the Internet permanently, and it will continue to be wise to block any traffic that has no business connecting to your pc.
Yes, even if P2P was totally legal do you want companies connecting to your machine? There would be no reason for that.
Well, we are evolving as most of the people over the network, we have [gained] experience and get a lot of feedback from our members so we will adapt our tools to the times to come. Why keep using PeerGuardian? Well, I think we have a good application and is getting better every day we offer security to our members and you will never need to stop that you need to be safe all the time. Besides we are free .
How do see the file-sharing/digital distribution situation in the future? Is this a time of great transition?
Well, humans evolve and are in that continuous transition, so I think we will see some changes in the future in the way all the information is passed or shared between users. I hope to see a really low CD cost, the capacity to decide which song I want to get without paying 15 or 17 $ for the only good song from a cd, and the capacity to do what ever I want with my song once I have purchased it .
There are many new developments, all working towards a safer environment for P2P file sharing. I think that the future looks exciting, as we have seen that the P2P communities will not just roll over in the face of threats from large corporates, and I hope to see more developments which will allow the P2P world to flourish.

Conventional wisdom would have it that information asymmetry increases higher you move from the cutting edge. In economics, this translates into the belief that individuals know what is best for them and individual choices are reflected in the market mechanism. In case of governments, this underpins the case for decentralisation.
Richard Florida highlights the challenge of NIMBYism in easing zoning regulations and expanding housing supply in cities. The prevailing institutional mechanisms give an effective veto to local residents in such land-use decisions. He points to a new paper by Paavo Makkonen that, among other things, has this to say
The paper joins a growing chorus of urban economists and urbanists who call for shifting land use decisions away from the local level and toward the metropolitan or even the state level. This would make it more possible to design a policy that encourages an increase in overall density—but would also require checks and balances to prevent abuses of less-advantaged neighborhoods.
This is clearly an example of a failure of excessive community empowerment. Local land owners privately appropriate most of the benefits of the city's development, for which their contribution is marginal or negligible. And they are sufficiently empowered to oppose any efforts to socialise even a share of these benefits.
This reminds me of one of the less discussed problems of the current model of urbanisation, one this blog has raised on several occasions. As cities grow, the scarcity of buildable land intensifies driving up property prices, forcing redevelopment and gentrification of blighted and more affordable localities. In fact, the entire urban core becomes gentrified, with those who cannot afford housing being marginalised to the suburban doughnut. Even the affordable housing mandates in all these cities are only marginally useful since the rents are so high that such units are affordable to only the middle class. This is a serious market failure in the prevailing models of urbanisation in developed countries.
Interestingly, the politics of urban areas in developing countries like India may have, unwittingly, become good antidotes to the wholesale gentrification of Indian cities. Slum-dwellers, collectively, form influential political constituencies. In other words, the frustrating failure to progress with slum-redevelopment on Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in India may after all be a blessing in disguise.
It is perfectly plausible, even most likely, that if these slums get redeveloped with a combination of good housing units for slum dwellers and commercial developments, then its gentrification is almost inevitable, only a matter of time. Even with all the regulatory restraints on resales, it is impossible to fight the inexorable dynamics of market forces, dictated by rocketing prices in the city's central areas. The incumbents are most certain to sell off and be displaced further away from their livelihoods.

In this LTA post, I talked about the different parts of a training plan: long slow runs (LSRs), speedwork (tempo runs and intervals), and easy recovery runs. Today, I want to cover how to use these pieces to build a training plan that will help you improve. There are lots of places out there that will give you a training plan – I linked some in the previous post and a google search will bring you tons more – but for people who want to build their own plan, or to better understand how to construct something on their own, I want to share what I've learned to try and help.
There are almost too many resources out there, and when you start a training plan there's a lot of fear in it: will this work? am I wasting my time? Since Healthefficiency is all about the value of your time and how best and most efficiently to use it, I think understanding how to build a plan is valuable — because if/when you realize how all the pieces come together and understand how they're working for you, you gain trust in your plan. Worry less; run more; train happier.
Before I start in on the plan stuff, though, there are a couple things I want to state upfront.
The first is a basic rule: You aren't going to get any better/faster unless you run more.
This might sound obvious, but really, you need to understand this before you launch off into any sort of training plan: you aren't going to get better or faster unless you run, you run more, you run harder, you run more. You have to do the workouts and push yourself and keep changing up that speed and increasing that mileage. You have to stick to it. With running, you get out what you put in. And the result is, if you keep putting in the same thing, you're going to get out the same thing.
Let's imagine you have a friend who is a runner; I have a good handful. But let's think about this: let's say I've got a friend, 'the' friend who struggles with her running. She constantly bemoans the fact that she's slow: she'll never get faster, she'll never improve, no matter what she does she doesn't get faster, she'll never be as fast as other people. Now, on one hand: there are always going to be people faster than you; being slow sucks, I get it. I'm an asthmatic runner: I'll never be as fast as many other people, either. And seeing no improvement is really disheartening.
But when I look at her workouts, her "training schedule", and I see her running the same 3 or 4 miles each time, at the same speed, on the same trail or over the same path. She doesn't run with any consistency – some weeks she'll run that 3 miles thrice; others she won't run at all – and she doesn't run with any goals: there's no long slow run to build up a base, there aren't any targeted speedworks, there's nothing. She'll complain to me, "I even did intervals and it didn't work" — as if doing an interval workout once makes you immediately faster on your next run out. Her interval workouts aren't a part of anything — she isn't going anywhere with them, and she doesn't know how to make them more useful. Overall, it's still that same 3-4 miles on that same path with that same low frequency. To me, this is the definition of "health inefficiency" — I mean, yeah, she's running, and that's awesome in itself, and good for her, but: she isn't going anywhere with it.
It's really frustrating to me, as a friend and a runner, to watch that. And when I as a friend offer to help build a training plan or send resources, the answer I get back is always, "I don't have the time for that." Ignoring my arguments to the contrary, the point here is: you won't get better unless you run more. If you don't have the time to actually train, don't expect significant improvements. If you want to get faster, make some time. It doesn't actually take that much time to get better if your workouts are designed and targeted, and you're dedicated to consistency.
The second thing I want to point out before we launch in here is who my target audience is. If you are just starting to run – if you're on the beginner side – I welcome you to keep reading to educate yourself, but I would also suggest you start somewhere like Couch to 5K, because there are a lot of really awesome beginner training plans out there and I'm aiming for people with some running experience already. On the other side of things: if you already run like 50 miles a week and you do 6 marathons a year and you regularly do "quarters" and "doubles" and your long runs are like 30 miles — I'm not really aiming for you, either, because you probably know all this. That doesn't mean you aren't welcome here! Just, this is a blog about efficiency, and if you're too new or too experienced, this stuff isn't going to be the most efficient use of your time.
I'm talking to people who are running their first 5K and want to train for it. Or maybe they've done a 5K and want to train for a half marathon. Or maybe they've done a couple 5Ks casually and want to get faster. Or maybe they've been puttering around running for a few years and want to start training more concretely. That's the genre of running I'm in, and that's the level I'm talking about.
What I'm talking about here is "standard procedure" type stuff. I've done a lot of research and read a lot of opinions, so what's here are general "rules" you can follow to put together a plan which will help you get faster but not push you so hard you injure yourself or just crap out. If you feel like something different will work better for you, feel free to work it in; I'm just trying to compile information to give you a general idea of how this goes.
I'll be using myself as an example as I talk about putting together a training plan. I haven't run consistently in a while, so it makes a good reference. When starting a training plan like this, I'm assuming you can run at least 3 miles / 5K without stopping, at a decent clip, and that you run a couple times a week and are hitting maybe 8-12 miles a week as a rough start. If you aren't there yet, you can still use this info, but you should build from where you are to about there before you start pushing yourself in other directions too.

The logistics base is the first of its kind for China, which will use it to support "naval escorts in Africa and southwest Asia, (UN) peacekeeping and for humanitarian support," the statement said.
It will also allow China to evacuate its nationals in a crisis, support anti-piracy activities off Somalia and work with other nations to "jointly defend the security of strategic passages."
The Chinese navy has long assisted in anti-piracy missions in the Gulf of Aden, as well as UN peacekeeping efforts throughout Africa, but the base will be the country's first naval base abroad.
China started building the base in Djibouti, home to around 800,000 people, last year. It will be stationed just a few miles from Camp Lemonnier, the only permanent US base in Africa.
Djibouti, which is about the size of Wales, is at the southern entrance to the Red Sea on the route to the Suez Canal. The tiny, barren nation sandwiched between Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia also hosts troops from France and Japan.
Foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said Wednesday that the base is "primarily used for the better fulfilment of international obligations."
"China is committed to peaceful development. China's defence policy is defensive in nature. This has not changed."
In a June report, the US Department of Defense said the strategically-situated camp, "along with regular naval vessel visits to foreign ports, both reflects and amplifies China's growing influence, extending the reach of its armed forces".
The Chinese defence ministry rejected the assessment, saying "China is not doing any military expansion and does not seek a sphere of influence."
Beijing has made extensive infrastructure investments throughout the African continent as it seeks to gain access to natural resources and open new markets.
Chinese banks have been major funders of at least 14 such projects in Djibouti, valued at 14.4 billion dollars in total, including a railway line that will halve transit times from Djibouti to Ethiopia's Addis Ababa.
As part of its investment strategy, it has also pursued civilian port projects in countries like Pakistan and Sri Lanka that can accommodate Chinese naval vessels, projects some analysts believe is intended to strengthen China's strategic presence in the region.
Beijing has rejected those concerns.
In a Wednesday editorial welcoming the PLA's announcement, China's state-controlled tabloid the Global Times made no bones about the base's purpose.
"It is certainly the PLA's first foreign naval base," it said. "It is not a supply point for commercial use."

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The Bank of Canada has been puzzled at times, unsure at others, and not shy about saying what it doesn't know, a frankness that helps its credibility but has left markets struggling to adjust.
"I don't have to remind you how many sources of uncertainty we face," Bank of Canada Stephen Poloz said in Santiago on Friday, reiterating what has become the bank's candid assessment of puzzling times. [L1N1DC1I8]
Under Poloz's tenure, the bank has opened up and adjusted communications in ways that markets generally like, even if it comes with more volatility.
Since he took the helm in 2013, the bank dropped forward guidance that gives a direct hint on the next move in interest rates. It also put ranges around its U.S. and Canadian growth expectations, effectively broadening its forecast, and moved to a risk-management approach to monetary policy.
However, unlike its U.S. and British counterparts, the bank does not publish minutes of policy meetings, which would shed light on policy discussions and possibly show dissent or unanimity around decisions.
While including some frank language about what he does not know, Poloz's message has become more nuanced and often more difficult for markets to understand, if only because more information does not always add clarity.
"Markets like clear road maps to central bank policy," said Frances Donald, senior economist at Manulife Asset Management in Toronto. "What Governor Poloz has given us is a more complex and complicated road map."
Last month, a surprise admission by Poloz during a press conference that policymakers had considered cutting rates roiled the Canadian dollar, in part because no mention had been made of that option in the bank's statement hours earlier. [L1N1CP0BY]
Poloz made the case for incorporating uncertainty into policy decisions in a 2014 discussion paper, saying that for policymakers, uncertainty was not an abstract but "a daily preoccupation" - an admission that picking specific forecasts and targets was a fool's game.
He said the purpose was to "inject a little more realism about uncertainty into the narrative" and trust markets to deal with the flow of data.
In its October monetary policy report, the bank used the word "uncertainty" 12 times, both in reference to external forces and the bank's own expectations.
Last year, stumped by the stalled recovery in exports, Poloz told a reporter that "if you get some good ideas, let me know" - a candor some appreciate.
"Personally, I think it slightly enhances their credibility, basically admitting that there are a lot of things they simply can't know at this point," said Doug Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets, in Toronto.
Central bank watchers expect to see more of that language in the bank's statement next month as it tries to assess the impact of the U.S. election.
Given how exposed Canada's economy is to global factors like oil prices, market players say the central bank has no choice but to acknowledge the unknown.
"It's hard to say there's a better alternative," said Rahim Madhavji, president at KnightsbridgeFX.com, in Toronto. "You want transparency, you want them to give the information they're giving."
Some worry that the more information the bank gives, the harder it is to know what matters to decision-makers.
Last month the bank said that it was dropping one measure of core inflation in favor of three measures, confirming what many analysts had already suspected - that the bank was looking beyond the headlines everyone else was watching.
The bank has also put bands around its growth forecasts and discussed alternative ways of measuring the output gap - a tough task because potential output can only be estimated, and may be influenced by global demand, two factors that have seen the bank repeatedly revise their estimate of when the gap will close.
"In one sense, they're being very obvious about their own limitations," said economist Dana Peterson at Citi in New York. "On the other hand, they're providing less and less information that would pin them down to anything."
For now, it's an honesty some are willing to try.
"Not having a crystal ball is fine," said Scott Smith, director of hedging solutions at Cambridge Global Payments, in Toronto. "But pretending you have a crystal ball and mixing up the messages is obviously a lot worse for markets."

Mandibular Dislocation
What is a mandibular dislocation?
A mandibular dislocation is the separation of your mandible (lower jaw) from your temporomandibular joint (TMJ). When this happens, your lower jaw does not go back in place on its own.
What causes a mandibular dislocation?
- Opening your mouth too wide: This may happen when you laugh, yawn, sneeze, take large bites, or vomit. Some open mouth or dental procedures may weaken the muscles around your TMJ and lead to dislocation.
- Tooth problems: Teeth that are missing, worn, or not lined up correctly can prevent your jaw from working correctly.
- Trauma: Mandibular dislocation may be caused by a blow to your chin while your mouth is open. This occurs most often in car, motorcycle, or bicycle accidents.
- Unstable joint: This may be caused if your jaw muscles are weak or become too tight. Seizures and certain medicines may cause weak jaw muscles.
What are the signs and symptoms of a mandibular dislocation?
- Dimpling in front of your ear
- Drooling
- Inability to open or close your mouth, or move your jaw from side to side
- Pain and swelling in front of your ear
- Teeth that do not line up
- Trouble speaking, eating, or drinking
- Unequal sides of your face
How is a mandibular dislocation diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will examine your jaw and face. He will ask about your other medical conditions and medicines you are taking. Tell your healthcare provider if your jawbone had been dislocated before. He will look for signs of a mandibular dislocation or other problems, such as a broken bone. You may also have any of the following:
- X-ray: X-ray pictures will help your healthcare provider see your TMJ and check for swelling or broken bones.
- CT scan: This test is also called a CAT scan. An x-ray machine uses a computer to take pictures of your jaw. The pictures may show if your jaw is dislocated. You may be given a dye before the pictures are taken to help healthcare providers see the pictures better. Tell the healthcare provider if you have ever had an allergic reaction to contrast dye.
How is a mandibular dislocation treated?
- Medicines:
- Anesthesia: This medicine puts you to sleep so you are comfortable while your jawbone is put in place. It may be a shot of numbing medicine or may be given through an IV. It may also be given as a gas that you breathe while you are asleep. Your healthcare provider will work with you to decide which anesthesia is best for you.
- Muscle relaxer: These help to relax the muscles of your jaw.
- Sedative: This medicine is given to help you stay calm and relaxed.
- NSAIDs: These medicines decrease swelling and pain. You can buy NSAIDs without a doctor's order. Ask your healthcare provider which medicine is right for you, and how much to take. Take as directed. NSAIDs can cause stomach bleeding or kidney problems if not taken correctly.
- Sclerosing agent: This medicine is given as a shot into your TMJ. This helps tighten your jaw and prevents it from moving too much. You may need a fixation device after the use of a sclerosing agent.
- Fixation devices: You may have wires or elastic bands to prevent you from moving your jaw.
- Manual reduction: This is a procedure to put your jaw back into its normal position. You may need a fixation device after your manual reduction.
- Surgery: If other treatments have not worked, you may need surgery. Surgery may be done to tighten the ligaments around your TMJ and make it more stable.
How can I manage my symptoms?
- Support your jaw: For several days after your dislocation, try not to open your mouth widely, such as when you yawn. If you do, support your jaw. If your jaw has dislocated before, you may need a chin strap or bandage to help keep it from happening again.
- Eat soft foods: You may need to eat only soft foods for some time after your jaw is put back in place. Soft foods include applesauce, baby food, bananas, cooked cereal, cottage cheese, eggs, gelatin, pudding, and yogurt.
- Use ice: Ice helps decrease swelling and pain. Ice may also help prevent tissue damage. Use an ice pack, or put crushed ice in a plastic bag. Cover it with a towel and place it over your TMJ area for 15 to 20 minutes every hour or as directed.
- Go to physical therapy: You may need physical therapy if you have had multiple jaw dislocations. A physical therapist will work with you to help make the muscles in your jaw stronger. This may help to stop your jawbone from dislocating again.
What are the risks of mandibular dislocation?
- Surgery puts you at risk of dental or gum injuries, and stretched jaw ligaments and muscles. You may have pain, temporary nerve problems, ankylosis (joint stiffening), or bleeding in the jaw joint. Your top and bottom teeth may not line up correctly. Even after treatment, your jaw may dislocate again.
- Without treatment, your mandibular dislocation may lead to further problems. Your pain may become worse and you may have trouble eating and talking. Scar tissue may form around your dislocated jawbone, which makes putting your jaw back in place more difficult. You may have facial nerve problems, hearing loss, and cranial (skull) injuries from the dislocated bone. If the dislocated bone goes into your skull, you may have life-threatening damage.
When should I contact my healthcare provider?
- Your symptoms do not get better, or get worse.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
When should I seek immediate care?
- Your jawbone moves out of place again.

Cloud Services
Cloud has been a buzz word for quite some time now. If you are not an organization which is already on cloud, you are going to be the one soon. But what exactly the cloud is all about and how it is different from SaaS, has been quite confusing for companies and both the words have been used quite interchangeably, so what the real difference is.
Cloud is a metaphor of Internet through which a service provider virtually provides
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) for the end users to use an application
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for the technical folks to develop an application
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) for an organization to use infrastructure
From both cloud vendor and a cloud client's point of view- The true leverage and cost effectiveness of Cloud based services lies in the maximizing the utilization of resources. If a vendor is providing these services to an organization through internet but without sharing it with anyone else, it is not a cloud nor is it cost effective for either of them. This service is nothing more than a web based application much like an ASP one.
Different cloud customers use their own versions (an instance) of an application whose original copy lies in the datacenter of the vendor and this vendor can:
Have his datacenter
Be a third party
Be a hosting vendor
Now why it is so important for organizations to switch to cloud based services and what makes Cloud such a wonderful offering to an organization. The beauty of Cloud lies in the fact that it is a much superior delivery model than any other model so far due to:
Cost as it is a "multi-tenant" model
Technology like virtualization makes it much more cost effective for the customer
Scalability which sets no limits to the utilization of resources
For a client, it is more of "Pay as you go" model. Unlike in-premise based resources, a client does not have to keep paying extra dollars for unutilized and underutilized resources and as per the organizational requirements, a company can opt between a Public Cloud and a Private Cloud. On one hand public cloud makes it much more cost effective for an organization to utilize the resources but on the other hand, in order to maintain the privacy and security of data clients can opt for a private cloud also. And since a cloud application is specifically designed to run in the cloud environment, it already addresses the Storage need of information and data backup by replicating data repositories into the underlying cloud storage structure. And since client controls the very fabric of their cloud storage, so the additional copies of the data can be created offline if the need be.
Rite Pros Advantage
In order to provide the most cost effective cloud related services, Rite Pros' has partnered with some of the top Industry leaders. Rite Pros' partnership is strictly based on our vendors' "Stability, Reliability and Responsiveness" to our clients.
We, at Rite Pros', firmly believe that by adopting a Rite Pros' recommended Cloud based infrastructure, you can not only save ridiculously huge amount of time while taking advantage of the upward scalability of cloud, you can save enormous money by scaling down when the additional resources are no longer required.

China just finished the largest floating solar power plant
The largest floating PV solar power plant with a capacity of 40MW was just completed in Huainan, south Anhui province, China.
Floating solar power plants are becoming increasingly popular across the globe due to their ability to reduce water evaporation in many applications, while the cooler ambient air, due to the water location, notably in hot and humid environments, limits the solar panel's exposure to the 'temperature coefficient' that results in performance degradation as ambient temperatures increase.
The floating solar plant's central inverter was deployed at the floating plant that featured the integration of the inverter, the transformer and the switchgear, as a turnkey station. In addition, the combiner box was also customized for floating power plants applications, enabling it to work in a stable condition in such environment with high levels of humidity and salt spray.
The floating plant is located on flooded land with the depth of water ranging from 4 to 10 meters. A 20MW floating system in the same region had been the largest operating since early 2016.

We've been mesmerized by James Bond since childhood. And then GoldenEye 007 came along and turned his console appearances into some of the most anticipated in gaming. Too bad, then, that none have stood up to Rare's masterpiece and the superspy mantle has been taken up by younger, less British playas. But EA's had a secret weapon in development for years, and in third-person, no less. Could it break the FPS shackle to put 007 back on top? Absolutely. Lacking only the stellar multiplayer of GoldenEye 007, Everything Or Nothing nonetheless may be the best console Bond ever, with rich varied gameplay that has something for everyone.
The over-the-shoulder view is what 007 needed all along. After all, espionage is all about voyeurism, and now we get to see every detail. This is a full-on translation of the filmic Bond, with voice work by a stellar cast (Brosnan, Judi Dench, Willem DaFoe, Shannon Elizabeth, John Cleese, and Mya) complementing large, nearly lifelike models based on the cast. The franchise's signature elements are all here: driving, flying, action, stealth, and style, all done consistently well.
To capture the agent's modus operandi, every level is peppered with potential "Bond Moments" -- spots where you can race a motorcycle at speed between a giant statue's legs, narrowly escape fiery death, or simply take out a cadre of guards in style. Stealth is the key to certain moments, and James can silently creep and make stealth kills with ease. Some actions generate a slo-mo camera that celebrates your achievement. Bond Moments are optional (though necessary to fully unlock the game), but they really give the game a unique character.
007 may be known for his gear, but EoN doesn't go overboard, equipping the spy only with the essentials, like coin-size grenades, slick spider bombs, and a rappel device. The spiders are the key to hidden areas and otherwise inaccessible Bond Moments, but the rappel is an unexpected surprise. It instantly engages as you leap from ledges or cliffs, and levels aren't shy about making use of the device.

Ethan Stern
March 6, 2012 in Sculpture & Contemporary Art Glass, Visual Art
Pushing form beyond the expected anatomy of the vessel, Ethan Stern uses glass to investigate the emotive potential of objects. Beginning each piece by creating a blown, geometric form composed of multiple layers of color and pattern, Stern then creates patterns and textures by cutting into the surface after the piece has cooled. While blown glass typically reflects light and is shiny and dense in appearance, a richer, more luminous effect can be achieved from the simple shifts in hue, density and opacity, which are a result of the process of engraving. These engraved marks, like the stroke of a paintbrush on canvas, leave evidence of the artist's hand and are intended to create an expressive sense of motion, rhythm, weight, and depth.
Glass is not a forgiving material. It demands an involved process and requires careful planning and manipulation. As the most direct way for Stern to leave his mark, engraving has become his voice within the medium. The process of carving is a reductive one; material cannot be added once it is removed. This action of continuously revealing layers adds a significant amount of weight to each step and the choices made, allowing the process to play the ultimate role in defining the relationship between the surface and form of each piece
"At the most basic level, my work is an ongoing exploration of abstraction and the expressive qualities of form, color, texture and light. I use glass as a catalyst to help answer questions about how we see our environment, the objects we use everyday and the spaces we occupy. I am very aware of how my physical surroundings influence the qualities of each piece. I live in an urban area and work in an industrial part of Seattle. I cannot help but allow the hue of the day and the contrast between the engineered and natural landscapes permeate my sense of beauty. Translating this information into my recent work has led to imagery and form inspired by design, architecture and the visual deconstruction of my surroundings.
In the past, my formal investigation has been limited to shapes that are flattened and sculpted to have geometric edges and tight corners creating a strong silhouette. I have been drawn to this way of working not only as a means to explore pure form, clean lines and minimal composition, but to create a canvas for texture and pattern on the surface. While these forms have allowed for a significant amount of exploration, I have become interested in a more direct investigation of the role architecture plays in my artistic practice and the human interaction with physical surroundings."
Stern's newest work attempts to examine how objects on a human scale can be viewed as architectural. How much does scale influence our interpretation of beauty and perfection? Drawing from the idea that architecture can be more than a building, more than a large square structure which functions before it speaks, Stern feels challenged to investigate how we relate to the objects we live with. Can balance and contour dictate how we interact with the materials around us? If standing in front of a building hovering above you feels imposing, what happens when its form has no right angles or tilts and curves like the human form? Through blown glass objects reflective of these architectural forms, Stern investigates how our urban environments directly influence our human experience, while allowing the work and process to interact with the public in new and exciting ways.
