Det Vackra Livet
Philip called me up a day in September 2010. He was working on songs for the third The Mary Onettes album as far as I knew, so I was surprised to hear he had written two songs in Swedish that he wanted me to hear. He sent "Kristallen" and "Juni berättar" over … and I was instantly blown away of their verve and beauty! I immediately pleaded him to an album with Det Vackra Livet.
The coming two months Philip sent me one or two news songs every week, each one of stunning quality. The whole album was finished in less than eight weeks time and one has to wonder where the inspiration came from.
It turned out he had been going through his grandmother's memories over the summer and the little everyday stories had affected him deeply. He had also discovered the works of Swedish/Finnish poet Claes Andersson (now a member of parliament in Finland) and become inspired by his way of writing.
And somewhere there in the summer of 2010 - among poetry, memories and sentimental flashbacks - Det Vackra Livet was born. /Johan, Labrador Records

Alan Wilkis Makes Prints
PRINTS is a series of singles by Brooklyn-based recording artist and producer, Alan Wilkis. For each song or "print," he first writes an instrumental piece and then collaborates with a different vocalist, sometimes together in the studio and sometimes via the web, until the "print" takes its shape. By drawing both himself and his collaborators out of their respective comfort zones, Alan hopes to push each "print" to new and unexpected heights.
Alan chose to name the project, PRINTS, largely because a "print" implies a certain beautiful simplicity, as well as an ability to stand alone as a piece of art. "Printing" can also refer to the act of rendering a recording session into a single audio file. Also, "prints" and "Prince" sound alike... and Alan really likes Prince.

Dempsey Wins!
Dempsey. They both went to high school together in Davis, California and until recently, both lived there (Adam moved to San Francisco about 6 months ago). After parting ways with the third member of their previous band Dempsey came into being with Niels and Adam continuing to make music but taking it in a completely different direction.
After aimlessly making a few tracks together, Adam created the beginnings of what is now "Late Night" and decided their sound had been found. Nine months and a lot of hard work later they have now released their first EP, and are already in the preliminary stages of their next. Despite the bit of distance between the two, they maintain a collaborative dynamic through constant file sharing and frequent trips up and down the PCH.
Sounding like what would have happened had the Mark Gardner out of Ride fell out of love with the Byrds and in love with synthesizers, listening to Dempsey is like listening to "Chrome Waves" through a "Time Machine." Hazy post apocalyptic dream pop for the synthesized generation is what these guys are all about and that's something worth taking a Ride for.

BEEEEEEP Art, Let's Dance!
A sugar rush of synthetics and beats, FALD are a rush of everything to the head all at once. One can't help but think of someone like Figure meeting Barcelona if they were German while trying to place where FALD are coming from. It's all very upbeat and filled with pop thrills from the get go and so ridiculously catchy you might need an antibiotic to help clear your brain.

Lets Go Swimming
Fans of Washed Out, Starslinger, Gold Panda, Baths and the like should be drawn to this in a pre-gazing, dream pop way. It's all shimmery with a slight 80's hue and is rather incredible and with names like Neurtron Wireless Crystal, Swimming are destined to be on a Dr. Who episode.

Grimes Has A Vision
Visions arises as Boucher's fourth release in less than two years. Her debut album, Geidi Primes (2010), was followed by Halfaxa (2010), which was arguably one of the first witch-house or lo-fi R&B releases and most recently she issued Darkbloom earlier in the year.
Visions sounds as if Tron got lost in a cold stark post CPU world ruled by indie pop kids in anorak's. It's twee but it's also harsh and minimal and while that sounds like a bit of a strange combination it works and works well. Claire's voice is something special to hear and with the synthetic atmospherics meandering behind it her songs take on something even cooler.

Out Of The Races And On To The Big Broom
Despite still have a really bad name, the band's music is ridiculously good. Sweeping, slightly large in scope, and so full of emotion that they seem to be sponsored by Kleenex RACES are very good at what they do. This is indie rock gone wide screen and it's awesome. Their EP, Big Broom, will be released on November 15th and we're willing to race you to it.

Enjoy Merge's Hospitality
Formed in 2007, Hospitality has evolved from a bedroom project to a 4-piece collaborative group destined to take over the world...or maybe just some corner in Brooklyn. The angular, intricate, and intelligent compositions of Hospitality signal a sophisticated new pop voice.
Singer Amber Papini's idiosyncratic songwriting and incisive lyrics coupled with the band's rich arrangements on its self-titled debut explore youth, New York, and the bittersweet commingling of past and present in a way that feels just right, right now.

New Navy Set Sail
New Navy balance sparkly guitars with front man Ben McInerny's smooth vocals, delivering strong bass-lines and breezy indie grooves to great effect. Sounding like a version of Foals or The Whitest Boy Alive on permanent vacation, the band fuses "world music" vibes with hooks that are far too easy to latch on to and come up with something refreshing.

Twiggy Frostbite Hides In The Darkness
The saga of these occasional songs is something that we don´t understand the beginning of nor the end. It's just continued at random intervals and while we dwell into it´s beauty we can not help to wonder what will happen next. I guess that only Elin, Anna-Karin and Emma knows the answer to that question. The question is if it really matters, as long as they present such amazing fragments of beauty.

It Pays Rewards For Equal Dreams
Rewards (Aaron Pfenning, Co-Founder of Chairlift) has debuted the brand new Eddie Mars remix of his single Equal Dreams featuring Solange Knowles and Blood Orange aka Lightspeed Champion. Released through DFA Records digitally and in 12" vinyl this past summer.
Pfenning assumed the name Rewards (a moniker he's actually used since 2003), after he spent the better part of last year touring with We Are Scientists, Brandon Flowers, Suckers and Warpaint, and released three broodingly romantic singles ("I Used To," "What a Loser" and the achingly beautiful "Two Cardinals").
Now here he is on DFA making some rather lush, Creation-ish, synthpop that people like Justice have no clue how to make!

Sea Pinks Have Excellent Peripheral Vision
The band went on to record their first studio EP a few months later. Peripheral Vision was released in January 2011 on 12" vinyl also on CF/ Records. Like the tape, the EP quickly sold out in a matter of weeks. Now, nearly a year later, the band return with their second full length album Dead Seas which includes 10 brand new songs as well as Peripheral Vision for those who missed it the first time.
While still being rooted aesthetically in 60s garage and 80s indie pop the new songs, explore ideas around decay and renewal (both emotional and physical) as embodied by the imagery of the sea and water in general. While that may all sound heady and overly thought out...it's not...and the songs have a fantastic jangle about them which sort of hides the fact that they can kind of be depressing.

Clubfeet Have The Last Words
The single has been remixed by some of their friends and you don't want to miss these. Indie producer Andrew Maury, aka RAC, drops a chunky, catchy mix that works equally well in clubs, on the radio, at home, or through the sound system at the local planetarium while extremely high.
Next up, London-bases The C90s turn in a remix that is synth-heavy, twisting and turning into a slab of pop-funk that will shake any and all booties.

Monarchy Don't Want to Dance With You
You see, Monarchy are back with another synth-pop gem, You Don't Want To Dance With Me, due for release in late October. After the undeniably catchy summer single Maybe I'm Crazy, the duo slow things down with the irresistible YDWTDWM (say that three times fast), featuring guest vocals from Britt Love.
The song's pulsating bass line and hypnotic, layered synths provide the perfect backdrop to showcase Britt's sultry sound as she duets with Monarchy's Ra Black.
Riding on the success of their critically acclaimed debut album Around The Sun and with this killer single (completely new and re-worked) set to do the business, Monarchy's year looks like closing on a high even if they still think it's June.

The Caseworker Takes On A National Runner
It's not every day you hear a song about a long-distance runner from Ethiopia, much less one that sounds like a long lost Ride tune. But in the case of...er...[The] Caseworker that's exactly what they've written.
With 'National Runner', [The] Caseworker have an instant pop classic on their hands. The song's consummate balance of drone and chime features a heady mix of hypnotic guitars and driving rhythm section, all perfectly offset by Conor Devlin's starry-eyed vocal. Learning that the track is an ode to famed Ethiopian Olympic long-distance runner Miruts Yifter makes all the more sense after being doused in its heady atmosphere.
It's an awesome tune for someone that's famous for one heck of an Olympic race and if it's any indication how the rest of their music sounds we're in for a marathon.

Learn The Tennis System
Matty Taylor (vocals and guitar), Misha Bullock (drums and, on occasion, guitar), Christopher Norman (guitar and, on occasion, drums), and Guylaine Vivarat (bass) are masters of loud and dirty anthems, but rising above the noise that blankets them are Taylor's beautifully sung, dreamy lyrics inspired by both love and art. Listen hard, and through the distortion, threads of melody emerge; these are picturesque songs, full of woe, optimism and yearning.
Working with Ryan van Kriedt (Asteroid No. 4 and The Dead Skeletons), the band experimented with cello, bells, xylophone, synths and organ to add dimension and complexity to its sound. The result of that experiment is called, Teenagers and it features the tune Arcane.

World's End Girlfriend Finds Seven Idiots
World's End Girlfriend hails from Nagasaki Kyushu, Japan and currently resides in Tokyo. Fascinated by his father's classical music collection, he began his foray into sound at the tender age of 10, creating his early compositions on keyboard, guitar, tape recorders and computers. To date he has composed more than 600 songs, for the most part unreleased testaments of his early experimentation.
Brand new album Seven Idiots shifts seamlessly from catchy pop hooks to elaborate orchestrations and brutal IDM drones, it's an irregular pop album to say the least. Think Bis without vocals on acid and you kind of have an idea where World's End Girlfriend is coming from!

We've made things that don't even relate to the sign industry. We have fabricated art sculptures for exclusive sub-divisions and animated signs and figures that move about and even preform useful works. We have designed and manufacture in-plant traffic control systems for large industry as well as signs and flow plans for their roads and parking lots. We are proud to say that we are truly a one-stop shop for anything in the sign fight but will venture with confidence into other areas for fabrication.
We begin any project with a study of what will be expected from our manufactured product. Any sign or communication device should be first of all be effective. This simply means that it has a job to do and that is to attract people into your business and here is where the rubber meets the road.
According to the type of business, we design a sign or logo system that defines that business. The design must be like a magnet to the eye as well as cosine enough to project its message in near split second timing. We are always aware that the viewer in traveling on the road and not only preoccupied with the safe operation of their vehicle but picking up things in their periphery. It is in this zone that our sign must work its magic.
This discussion can go on and on but suffice it to say that we are well aware of the psychology required to make this work. We throw ourselves totally into this and love every minute of it. Of all the products we make, we intend for them to last for a very long time and do a good job for you.

Format: Double LP
Label: Slowscan
Country: Netherlands
Price: $37.00
|2014 release, edition of 350 (300 + 50 A.P.).

Soloists play according to any predetermined plan. Two soloists play in the studios and two phone into the studios and play their parts through the phone system. The 'scorer' works from the main broadcast control room of the radio station and controls the mix and effects of the various inputs. He determines the final signal or output. The "orchestra" selects their stations and maintains them throughout the performance. If possible, stations should represent various genres or segments of the community, such as Chinese language, soul, Spanish language, rock, popular tunes, spiritual- and Bible-toned stations.

Why Cliff Villages?
is flat!
Along this edge - sometimes at the top, sometimes at the bottom and sometimes half way up, runs part of the A607 between Lincoln and Grantham and dotted at intervals along 10 miles of this road are what are known as the Cliff Villages.
Nearest to Lincoln at the top of Cross O'Cliff Hill, where the A15/A607 climbs up from the Trent valley onto the edge, is Bracebridge Heath, a fast growing village (some would say a fast growing suburb) right on the southern outskirts. Here the A15 and A607 part company and a couple of miles along the A607 is Waddington - a large village partly uphill, partly downhill, with the well known RAF station which which until recently hosted the biggest military air show in the UK. Then comes Harmston where the village hall is home to the Cliff Villages U3A. Next is Coleby and then Boothby Graffoe, two attractive villages where, in common with the other cliff villages, houses are built predominantly in the local limestone. Just past Boothby is Navenby, one of the larger villages along the edge which has excellent shopping facilities for a village. Sort of attached to Navenby is Wellingore where the road drops down off the edge as soon as you pass All Saints' Church. There is then a stretch of nearly two miles before you come to Welbourn where the William Robertson School educates the children from miles around. Finally Leadenham, halfway up (or down) the Edge, which is at the junction of the A607 and the A17. Since the bypass was built Leadenham no longer has to live with heavy lorries struggling up the tortuous road on the steepest part of the edge on their way from the North of England to East Anglia.

A Brief History of Energy
The very first energy source was the sun providing heat and light during the day. Later fire was discovered by a lightning strike, producing another source of heat and light.
Thousands of years later we discovered that the wind could be harnessed and we began to use sails on our boats for transportation. Later we began to use windmills to turn water wheels for grinding grain.
Throughout history, we have made lots of discoveries using energy. Before 1850, wood was our main source of fuel for heating, cooking and producing steam for powering steam engines for the railroads. Other sources of energy were water, wind, coal and some manufactured natural gas.
Natural gas was used as early as 500BC by the Chinese. They would find natural gas leaking from the ground and use bamboo to pipe the gas for use in boiling sea water to remove the salt.
Around 1816 manufactured natural gas, made from coal, was first used for street lights in Baltimore, Maryland.
From about 1850 to 1945, coal was the main fuel source. Wood was still an important energy source for heating as well as natural gas for lighting, but water and wind were used less.
For most of the 1900s, oil and natural gas were our main fuel sources. Electricity was used more in the late 1900s. From about 1945 to the present, nuclear and solar energy along with water and wind have played a larger role in the production of energy. Other alternative energy sources being used today are geothermal and biomass.

Vitaliy Katsenelson
Vitaliy Katsenelson was born and raised in Murmansk, Russia (the home for Russia's northern navy fleet, think Tom Clancy's Red October). He immigrated to the US from Russia in 1991 with all his family.
Vitaliy is a Director of Research / Portfolio Manager at Investment Management Associates, Inc (IMA) a value investment firm based in Denver, Colorado. After receiving his graduate and undergraduate (cum laude) degrees in finance from University of Colorado at Denver, and finishing his CFA designation, he wanted to keep learning.

He is currently on sabbatical from teaching for awhile.
Vitaliy has written articles for Financial Times, Barron's, BusinessWeek, New York Post, Forbes.com, among others. He has been interviewed in Barrons, The Wall Street Transcript, Value Investor Insight, Welling@Weeden, BusinessWeek, BNN, CNBC, and countless radio shows.

DETENTION OF THE DEAD (2012) movie review
Detention of the Dead (2012) d. Mann, Alex Craig (USA)
From the title alone, you know if this is your particular flavor of undead gutmuncher. Working alongside director Mann, Rob Rinow adapts his stage play for the screen and earns deserved kudos for opening it up beyond its primary library confines. But where the film is lacking is in its lack of ambition – the elevator pitch of "The Breakfast Club meets Shaun of the Dead" is all good and fine, and the two adapters meet the mashup requirements with gusto, but it never achieves the heart of either of its inspirations, content with spoofing without innovating. (The lackluster tagline of "When there is no more room in Hell, the Dead go to Detention" is indicative of the no-net play in store.)
The good news is that Mann has peopled his cast with capable performers who lend some welcome personality to the (intentionally?) thinly drawn stereotypes. Jacob Zachar plays our unlikely nerd hero, ably matched by cool goth girl Alexa Nikolas. Preening screaming cheerleader Christa B. Allen wants her ROTC candidate boyfriend Jayson Blair to defend her, while stoner Justin Chon and jock Max Adler just want to board and bash another day. Predictably, these disparate characters with their inherent share of conflicts ultimately band together against the common enemy shambling the hallways, but there's plenty of time taken for each character to reveal they are more than meets the eye. In some cases this works, but we hear more quip-heavy jabbering than is necessary or desired whilst waiting for the next undead insurgence.
My biggest problems with the film are twofold. For starters, it has a terminal case of the insider cutes. All the students are named after horror characters (Ash, Brad, Janet, Eddie, Willow, etc.) and they hole up in – wait for it – the Savini Library. Wah-Wah. Zachar and Nikolas, being the "weirdo outsiders," are of course the resident zombie geeks well versed in the genre tropes. (Wouldn't it have been more interesting to have the jock or the cheerleader know a few things?) But more importantly, in spite of special effects designers Daniel Aaron Phillips and Troy Holbrook's best sanguinary efforts (and there are some ghastly grinners in the mix), the film is toothless, lacking any lasting impact.
Detention is fun in a very generic way, and for that it serves as a more-than-competent time-waster, but sitcom humor and paper-thin machinations are all Mann really seems capable and/or willing to offer. In an overcrowded field like the zombie subgenre, this horror fan is hungry for more than just efficiently polished filmmaking and half-hearted homage.

Scalloped Flower - Sizzix UK
- April 23, 2017

- 2 Comments
Hello people!!
I have had an exciting time shopping over here because my Chinese online suppliers finally got in Distress Oxide Inks, and I was SO EXCITED I bought them all!!!
After watching everyone play with these new inks I knew I wanted to make a cool background with them. The consensus is in: it's really easy to make cool backgrounds!! :)
Because they're pigmenty they stay wet longer, and it's much like working with watercolours. The ink moves and blends and that oxide-effect??? Swoon....
But the star of the card is definitely these pretty flowers. They were the inspiration for the colours and the focus of the whole design.
thanks for stopping by!!

How do you do? My name is Jane Brown; I welcome you to our capital and to one of the largest and oldest cities in the words. London is more than 2, 000 years old. Modern London was founded of two ancient cities, London and Westminster. The population is about 8 million people. London is divided into 4 parts: the City, Westminster, the East and the West End. London is a very beautiful city, all its famous sights you'll see from our red double-decker. The first bus service in London started in 1829.
One of the most interesting places in the City is the Tower of London. It was built in 11th century. Over the time the Tower of London has been a fortress, a royal palace, an observatory, a prison and even the King's Zoo. Now it is a museum. Not far from the Tower of London is the Tower Bridge. It was built in 1894 across the River Thames. Its two parts can be lifted for ships going up the river. All in all there are about 30 bridges across the Thames.

Hi, I'm Ben! On the right side of the Thames we can see Saint Paul's Cathedral. It is the greatest monument and of the most beautiful English churches. The famous English architect Sir Christopher Wren Built it in !7th century (1675-1710); it took Christopher Wren 35 years to build it. This magnificent building is a unique example of the English Baroque and the most powerful architectural statement ever made in London.

Ladies and gentlemen! We continue our traveling. Now we are going to the North America where two English-speaking countries are located – the USA and Canada.
The United States of America is situated in the central part of the continent. It is washed by the Pacific in the West by the Atlantic Ocean in the East. The continental part of the USA consists of two highland regions and two lowlands regions.
The five Great lakes are joined together and flow into the Atlantic Ocean. The Great Salt Lake is the of the country. The main rivers are the Mississippi, the Colorado, the Columbia, Saint Lawrence River and Hudson River.
The USA is a very large country, so it has several different climatic regions.
The population of the is more than 236 million people. In the USA live many nationalities, among them Afro-Americans and Indians – native Americans.
The United States of America is a federal republic consisting of 50 states and headed by the President. The USA government is divided into three parts: the President, the Supreme Court and Congress, which consists of the houses – the House of Representatives and the Senate. The capital of the USA is Washington, in the District of the District of Columbia.
A group of our students visited the USA last year. They took a lot of photos and now they invite us to the photo exhibition named "America – far or near?".
Student 1:
Слайд 10
Like any other capital, Washington has a lo of visitors every day. It was chosen by first president George Washington as the permanent site for national capital and was named after him. George Washington led the America army the War for Independence. Washington Monument commemorating the first president looks like a tall column, also called "the pencil".
The of Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson – the third president. This is Jefferson Memorial.
This is the Lincoln Memorial, built in honor of Abraham Lincoln – the 16th president. He wrote the Emancipation Proclamation and freed the black from slavery.
Student 2:
Слайд 10
Now have a look on another magnificent memorial. This is granite mountain. Faces of four Presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln are carved in Mount Rushmore, in South Dakota. The sculptor of this memorial was Godson Borglum. Many people come to see this monument every year.
Student 3:
Слайд 10
The beautiful home and the residence of every President is the white House. This is the oldest public building in the Washington, D.C., it consists of 132 rooms.
The tallest building is the Capital; this also the most famous building the USA, because all the laws are made there.
Besides the Smithsonian Castle, Supreme Court and the National Air and Space Museum are worth visiting.
Washington is not a typical American city. There are no skyscrapers, because nobody will build a house higher then the Capital. But there are a lot of public gardens, parks where you can rest and sit in the sun.
Student 4:
Слайд 11
To contrast different American life-styles I want to tell you about New York, the biggest city in the word. There you can see all the worlds' races and nationalities. The Statue of Liberty is the symbol of New York. It welcome millions of tourists and emigrants to the United States. It was presented by people of France in 1884. It is the Largest statue ever made.
This is the New York sky – line, which conn4cts different parts of the city. A lot of buses, cars, electric and other trains cross it every day.
Visiting New York for the first time you will be deeply impressed by the modern architecture. Everywhere you can see skyscrapers. The biggest of all is the Empire State Building. But the tallest skyscraper in the world is in Chicago, Illinois. It is called Sears Tower. There are the fist skyscrapers called Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower.
Student 1:
Слайд 12
There are a lot of sightseeing in the USA, not only memorials, skyscrapers and high-speed roads. There are also a lot of museums, especially on Broadway, cinemas, music halls and picture galleries.
3) динамическая пауза:
Thanks a lot for your photo exhibition. Now take a rest and do some easy exercises.
My heads upon my head I place,
On my shoulders, on my face.
Then I raise them up and high-speed
And make my fingers quickly fly
Then I put them in front of me
And gently clap: one, two, and three.
Слайд 13
There are also two countries where people mostly speak English – Australia and New Zealand. We are planning our trio to Australia next summer. Before traveling we looked for information in the Internet and we've made our own Internet site including most interesting facts about Australia. It was named "Unknown Australia".
Student 1:
Слайд 13
Do you know that Captain James Cook discovered Australia in 1770? Не claimed this part the land of England. In 1901 Australia bесаmе а nation within the British Empire; in 1931 it gained independence from Great Britain.
Student 2:
Слайд 13
As for geographical position Australia is situated south of Asia, between the Pacific and the Indian oceans. It is located in the southern hemisphere that is why it has summer when we have winter, and has winter when we have Summer. In fact Australia is а continent, а country and an island at the same time. It is the smallest continent in the world.
Student 3:
Слайд 13
The official name of the country is the Commonwealth of Australia. It is а federal state and а member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The head of state is the British Queen represented by the governor - General. The Commonwealth of Australia consists оf 6 states and 2 territories.
Australia has а parliament in each state and the Federal Parliament of the Commonwealth.

The image of Stalin vs. Trotsky is very powerfully portrayed in this movie. Stalin has spoken negatively against Trotsky behind his back and Trotsky has numerous times disagreed with Stalin. For example, before Lenin died, when Stalin found out that Trotsky had come to see Lenin, he was furious.
After Lenin's death Stalin started to plot his own block with Zinoviev and Kamenev on his side, going against Trotsky and thinking of ways how to get rid of him or replace him.
They portrayed how much the citizens trusted Stalin very dramatically, when Stalin's wife was on he train, a women ran up to her begging her to pass Stalin the news that they are in miserable conditions. They believed that the great comrade Stalin would never allow these conditions.
I agree when Martins says: "...his decisions were purely political..." he was rude to his son, wife and all others that he could not benefit from. It was portrayed that in his world "the strongest survives." He co-operated with those party members that could push him forward and work for him.
Stalin, as a symbol of authority and respect was haunting everybody, it was like Stalin looked down on you every where you go. When he called Yagoda, he came out of the shower,with a terrifying face expression, not taking his time to dress, walked to the phone with his back straight and with a serious attitude. This scene showed Stalin's power over the people.
b. Which section(s) of the movie would you consider least accurate and/or limited in gaining an understanding of the rise and rule of Joseph Stalin?
The attitude of people surrounding Stalin was at times unbelievable, Stalin's wife was shown as very independent, with her own ideas, and always disagreeing with Stalin, even in public. I do not think that Stalin would allow such attitude towards him.
The free way he talked with his comrades also looked impossible, he had to portray himself as a man to be scared of and as an authority.
b) What was very inaccurate was how Stalin's wife was portrayed. I doubt that she was actually that independent and willing to criticize Stalin. Also I highly doubt that for such a long time as it is shown in the movie she had no Idea what kind of crimes her husband was commiting.
The way Stalin appointed new NKVD leaders and got rid of opposition was also well projected and gave a more details picture of how people close to him were in greater danger than the rest of the population.
Another comment that portrayed Stalin's personality was ''thank you for your ideas'' which he said after a meeting in which he did not let annyone interrupt him.
I also believe that his wife was in no way so independent. I also think that his daughter, when she got older was always showing him that she wasn't scared of him and that she was not under his control, but in this case it might really have been the case.
correct me please, did he actually say that?!!
and they stopped someone else in the corridor, not boris. u find that accurate whence boris was the actual one stopped?
b) The big exaggeration is the way Stalin's wife acts and reacts to him and his actions. She is very open about her thoughts and opinions, and seems to be not one bit afraid of him, until the moment when she tells him about how the woman told her to pass on to Joseph that their wood is taken away, and they do not have any food, etc.
She seemed to be a great woman-always willing to help anyone, but Stalin chose to disrespect her and always put her down. Nadezhda decided to take Stalin's son from the first marriage into the house, even though he had never told her about Yakov. She tried to make the best possible living conditions and environment for everyone, but it did not work and she wasn't thanked.
Basically, the way Nadezhda tried to be outspoken, seems to be least accurate information.
B. i found every scene where there was no Stalin or Bolshevik leaders get shot an inaccurate and limited understanding to Stalin's gaining power. i specifically want to point on the scenes where the daughter comes in with a short dress, watches Charlie Chaplin or when the wife goes home to her parents. whenever we see Stalin in uniform or when we see some people getting shot then that helps us understand Stalin's history. other than that, everything else seemed irrelevent to Stalin gaining power
The only part of the movie that I believe might not be too accurate is with Stalin's wife. For example I find hard to believe that she was able to criticize and shout at her husband during a party event where many people were gathered. I think this scene was merely added to make the movie more interesting. Also of course Stalin's death scene was exaggerated in order to make the end of the movie more interesting.
The main weakness of the movie, I believe, which is also supposed to be one of the main themes, is the relationship of Stalin and his second wife Nadezhda. Her strength and independence shown in the film seems very artificial and unrealistic. What I longed for was to closely see the relationship between Stalin and Trotsky, I think Trotsky's intelligence deserved more credit. Even the story of Stalin could be turned into a sentimental, and I'd go as far and even call it a cliche, Hollywood film. The director often ends up manipulating and exaggerating some actions of the dictator, which screams out Hollywood.
B. Unfortunately, some small details aren't described accurately. The most common example is the exaggeration of the emotion. For example, Stalin's wife reaction was exaggerated.

SAO PAULO, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Brazil's leading presidential candidate, far-right politician Jair Bolsonaro, said in an interview aired on TV Bandeirantes on Tuesday evening that he is not willing to sell state power generation assets, suggesting he is against the full privatization of Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras SA.
In the interview, Bolsonaro said that selling more generation assets would leave Brazil "in the hands of China." Shares of Eletrobras, as the company is known, opened sharply lower. Preferred shares and common shares were down around 7 percent half an hour after the opening in Sao Paulo. (Reporting by Carolina Mandl Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)

in the kitchen with: sweet paul
I'm sorry to admit that I never got past the photo of (alias ) with Tanner, so I don't know what to say about his recipe. Just kidding! We are always happy to shake it up here and explore other recipes that aren't pasta dishes (even though we love pasta!). Paul is a favorite here at design*sponge, especially for the crafty ladies. We thought you'd enjoy seeing how he is in the kitchen, given his food and prop stylist skills. So click here to view the recipe for Paul's Spinach and Scallion Risotto or just click "read more" below.
New this week is wine pairing by the ladies at and Nectar Wine Bar, Jai Jai Greenfield (owner) and Beth Baye (manager, Nectar) in Harlem. Especially when it comes to culinary experiences, I like to try new things. On a recent trip to New York, I visited this enoteca and was greatly impressed by the owner's enthusiasm for wine and ease with which she explained how to navigate the shop (organized by the grape, not the region, so you get a cross cutting of all geographic regions within one section). I thought pairing this Harlem-based wine shop with Brooklyn – based design*sponge was a great match! Have a great weekend! –
About Paul: He moved to NYC 3 years ago to be with the love of his life. He had been working as a food and prop stylist, crafter and cookbook writer in Scandinavia for 16 years, and was very ready for a change. So he sold everything he had and just moved and never looked back. He has been very lucky to find lots of great work, working with some great magazines and some even greater photographers. Paul feels he has found
my his niche in the U.S. as a food and prop stylist and a crafter. He currently lives on the upper west side in New York with partner Otis and dog Tanner.
Spinach and Scallion Risotto
{Paired wine: Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Brut Rosé}
Serves 4
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 red onion, finely chopped
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cup Arborio rice
juice from 1/4 lemon
4 1/2 cups good quality canned chicken stock, heated
1 large bunch fresh spinach
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup grated parmesan
4 slices parma ham
Heat oil and butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Sauté onions and scallions until tender, add rice, cook, stirring until well coated. Add lemon juice, cook 1 minute. Add 1 cup of stock, cook, stirring frequently, until absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring until most of the liquid has been absorbed. This takes about 20 minutes. The rice should be al dente, creamy but with a little more hard center. While the risotto cooks, wash the spinach and wither it in a little water. Cool and press out the water. Chop coarsely. Crisp the parma ham in the oven.
Remove from heat, stir in butter, spinach and parmesan. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with the parma ham that has been fried crispy in the oven.
Why Paul chose this recipe: Risotto is for me the ultimate comfort food. I love rice and the mixture of the hot creamy rice, the fresh spinach and the cheese of all cheeses, parmesan. I mean, what's not to love?
I like my risotto very creamy, and I must say I never order risotto at a restaurant. The disappointment of a bad risotto is to much to bear. This is a very easy recipe, and the result is really good. I never use white wine in my risotto. Just a little lemon juice to get a little acid going.
Which wine?
For this dish, we'd choose a wine that not only highlights the green notes of the dish but also cleanses the palate of the rich elements in it. Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Brut Rosé, a Champagne-like wine from the Lombardy region of Italy, fits the bill. It has bright, tart strawberry notes that complement the spinach and scallions, while its creamy bubbles and mild acidity cleanse the palate of the butter, salt and fat from the other ingredients and ready you for the next creamy bite. This sparkling wine is made from the Pinot Nero grape (more commonly known as pinot noir). –Jai Jai and Beth

Electrical Energy
Recently in science we have been learning all about the different types of energy. We have been learning about light energy, heat energy, and electrical energy. Today students worked more hands on with electrical energy. Students were given a battery, a flashlight light-bulb, and a piece of foil (that acted like a wire.) They were also given a piece of paper that had many different ways the battery, light-bulb, and foil could be put together. They first had to guess whether they thought the light-bulb would light and then they had to work together in a small group to see if they could get it to work. They did a great job of working together and had a great time. Above is a picture of one group working together!

City Hall Tour
On Tuesday, March 6th, both third grades from Washington Elementary and the third grade from Libertyville Elementary got the opportunity to visit City Hall and hear the Mayor speak. We also got to hear from our City Administrator, Jeff Clawson, and our new Fire Chief, Scott Vaughn. They got to see one of the city's fire trucks and hear about some of the equipment the department uses. It was quite a treat for the kids. The kids learned about what it took for them to get involved in public decision making. They all got a turn sitting in the city council seats and got to take part in a motion. Below are two photographs of two of our classmates sitting in these seats. We had a beautiful day at City Hall. Thank you Mayor Malloy, City Administrator Clawson, and Fire Chief Vaughn!

Let the Testing Begin
Next week, February 6-10th, we will begin the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills. Please make sure your child gets a good nights rest, eats a good breakfast, and gets to school on time these days. We will be testing first thing in the mornings.
Halfway through the testing time each day we will stop and have a snack. I am looking for parents that would be willing to donate snacks for the class. Some examples would be: crackers, granola bars, fruit, or cereal bars. Please let me know as soon as possible if you would be interested in helping out.

This is former home of Harrison D. Horblit, a former textile executive, and is the home of Jean M. Horblit, Harrison's wife. He died of a heart attack on March 14, 1988 at Danbury (Conn.) Hospital. He was 75 years old and lived in Ridgefield, Conn.
For 30 years, Mr. Horblit was president of Colonial Fabrics, a textile manufacturer in Manhattan. The company was closed when he retired in 1966. He was a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Business School.
"A widely known and respected collector of antique books and manuscripts, Harrison D. Horblit was also a philanthropist who, along with his wife, Jean, has made often incalculably valuable contributions to many organizations -- including those interested in the history of Ridgefield. Born in Boston in 1912, Mr. Horblit graduated from Harvard in 1933 and became a textile executive. But his avocation as a collector made him known around the world. His specialty was antique books and manuscripts related to the history of science, mathematics and navigation, and his own book, One Hundred Books Famous in Science, is still considered a bible in its field. Much of his collection of rare books and manuscripts, including many items from the 1400s and 1500s, was donated to Harvard's Houghton Library. His wife, Jean, gave a large collection of early photographs and daguerreotypes from as early as 1839, to Houghton which, in 1999, mounted a major exhibition, The Harrison D. Horblit Collection of Early Photography. Mr. Horblit was also interested in local history. In 1973, when a group of Ridgefielders tried to buy a 1780 English print of the Battle of Ridgefield at a Sotheby's auction, they quickly ran out of money. Mr. Horblit stepped in and eventually paid $16,000 for an item Sotheby's had valued at under $2,500. "This print belongs in Ridgefield if it belongs anywhere," Mr. Horblit said at the time. Three months after his death in 1988, Mrs. Horblit donated the print to the Keeler Tavern. She has also been a major benefactor of the new Ridgefield Historical Society. Jean Horblit was born in New Haven, attended Columbia University, worked as a textile converter for Colonial Fabrics, a former manufacturing division of Marshall Field & Company, and eventually became the head of its Designing Department in the capacity of fabric stylist. She is a collector of antique Japanese woodblock prints, illustrated books and maps known as Ukiyo-e or "images of a floating world," which cover scenes from everyday life of the people. Her prints and books have been exhibited at the Hammond Museum, Princeton University, and Katonah Gallery, and a rare 17th Century map of Tokaido was shown at the New York Museum of Natural History. "
"The Horblit home itself, a magnificent English Georgian-style mansion meticulously maintained by Mrs. Horblit, is an important piece of Ridgefield history. Built in 1930 from limestone imported from France, "Oreneca" was all but abandoned by its owner, Philip D. Wagoner, after the death of his wife a few years later. When the Horblits bought the place in 1965, the property was so overgrown they did not know the house overlooked Round Pond. Avid yachters, Harrison and Jean Horblit sailed the Maine Coast for two months every summer for many years."
The home sits on 11.76 acres overlooking Round Pond. It was last sold on December 16, 2004 for $6,950,000.

"Want your Project reporting to look like this?"
Then this is the class for you! The big difference between our class and ones you'll find elsewhere is that we go beyond the tool knowledge to share real world experience with these questions.
- How should I approach my BI need?
- What things should be considered when creating dashboards?
- What are the best practices?
- How much is this going to cost me to license?
- What security aspects should concern me?
Why you should take this course
To save you and your company time and money. Project management depends on great data. It's the lifeblood of your team for making decisions and taking action. You need data for decisions and you are spending a lot of time and money currently, trying to get to that data.
According to Forrester, half of a department's annual reporting needs are ad hoc, which works out to be about 50 reports a year. They also added that the fully loaded cost of an individual report is $3200-$6100 per report. Each report can eat up up to 32 hours of time to develop and test. That's hundreds of thousands of dollars spent in throwaway report investment.
Learn a faster, cheaper way to explore your Project data. Power BI is well suited to enable quick ad hoc reporting where you spend the majority of the time developing the data set, rather than the individual report. This helps you save money and reduces the cost of developing ad hoc reports.
Who should take this course
If your company uses Project Online and you are a:
- Manager
- Business Analyst
- Power User
- Project Server/Online Administrator
- SharePoint Administrator
- Consultant
You need this class if you are expected to use data from Microsoft Project to do your job effectively. The class assumes no prior knowledge of Power BI and Data Concepts
What is required for this class

We describe a tunable two-color CW light source sufficient for realizing a coherent Raman transfer between two molecular states that are more than 0.5 eV (120 THz) apart. The simultaneous frequency stabilization of 901 nm and 655 nm light was achieved by locking diode lasers to a single ultralow expansion cavity with dual wavelengths coating. By utilizing offset-locking and optical phase-locked loop (OPLL), we ensured a large mode-hop free tuning range (> 2 GHz). The obtained short term linewidth (<10 Hz) and the linear drift of frequency (65 mHz/s) were both sufficient to eliminate the influence of laser linewidths on the efficiency of coherent Raman transition.

Nov 26, 2012
Someone can have the ability to make command decisions that steer an organization whether it be large or small but that person is not a leader until they find someone who is willing to follow them. In the last year and a half, I have written about a few of the incidents that I have been part of, mainly the tornado that hit Springfield on June 1 and the ice storm that we had last year around Halloween. Just the other day though, I added another one to my list.
In the downtown area of my city, we had what started out as a simple gas leak. That all changed when four miles away, sitting in our office, I heard a loud bang. The building with the leak exploded with two of my crews only a short distance away. Thankfully, they were okay, but we were called to action to organize and take care of close to twenty people who were injured. Everyone involved is still counting our blessings that no one was killed.
In moments, the people that I had in the streets started to mobilize. Crews cleared the hospital. People in their homes, not 100% sure what had just occurred started to put their uniforms on and head to work. I took the new supervisor I was training to take my spot and started a ride that felt like it took an eternity down to the scene. It took about twenty minutes to get organized, get a staging area setup, and to really start getting a grasp on what we were dealing with but once we did, we were ready for whatever would be thrown at us. The response from the EMS community was amazing. At peek, we had more than twenty ambulances in our staging area ready to do whatever it took to make sure every patient got out of there. The unsung heroes though were the fifteen people who showed up at the office who were not even scheduled to be in that day ready to jump on ambulances and go wherever they were needed. With all of the trucks that we had assigned to the explosion, we were able to back fill into the city with trucks that had come in just to help out and cover all of the "regular" emergencies we deal with on any given Friday night.
When it was all said and done, and I was able to sit back and armchair quarterback the whole thing, I found some decisions I would have made differently but in the heat of the moment, I think everything went about as well as it could have. The reason for this was not because I was making decisions or giving orders but more because I had an awesome command staff that was offering their input and I had a great team of responders from a variety of services who were all willing to do whatever my staff and I asked them to do.
As my career wraps up here in Springfield Massachusetts, I have had a number of ups and downs. It was nice to go out having had one last chance to work with so many terrific people. If any of you who were there with me happen to read this, know that you have my heartfelt thanks. Thank you for believing in me, trusting me, and being part of my team.

- Glen Legere sagt am Nov 23, 2010 @ 10:27 PM: I'm guessing there will be no more Romanian Podcasts? Too bad, as these lessons were VERY useful - especially hearing Cristina speak as any native speaker would. For what it's worth, thank you for making these available.
- Tristan Euchran sagt am Oct 28, 2011 @ 06:33 PM: Why, why, why do these all these podcasts begin with super-loud music? Is it an unwritten rule? Check out the podcasts at <language>pod101.com to see what I mean.
- Tristan Euchran sagt am Oct 28, 2011 @ 07:15 PM: Think of it from the listener's perspective. We have the volume turned up so we can catch pronunciation nuances. In addition we listen to multiple casts in one sitting. Instead, we are rewarded with metal music between casts. The NY jazz is nice though.
- Sam sagt am Oct 31, 2017 @ 05:25 PM: Just writing to say thank you for these podcasts. I think maybe everyday life got in the way of more episodes - we've all tried keeping New Year's resolutions, so I completely understand! I hope you're all doing well, and please know that you're still helping people learn many years on. Thanks again!

SPRINGFIELD – State Rep. Keith Wheeler (R-Oswego) issued the following statement today after Governor Bruce Rauner announced plans to restore $26 million in state funding for social service and public health grants; including those for autism services, assistance for the homeless, maintaining the Illinois Tobacco Quitline, funeral and burial assistance for the poor; and other important social services. The Governor's announcement comes in response to new forecasts showing the state estimated to bring in an extra $300 – $500 million in revenue for this year than previously anticipated.
"I applaud the Governor for taking action today to restore grant funding for initiatives that serve some of the neediest individuals and families in Illinois," Rep. Wheeler said. "The uptick in the state's economy generating the extra revenue to make this restoration possible is an indication that the Governor's pro-growth policies have already begun to make a difference in changing the jobs climate in Illinois. Creating more Illinois jobs for Illinois families will enable us to continue to prioritize funding for essential human services and public health initiatives like the Governor did today."

You pass through these two easy opportunities for 'focusing on breathing' every single day: 'getting into sleep' and 'waking up from sleep'.
Wondering why I suggest practicing during these two time periods when you are lying down?
The answer: This way, you don't have to allot your useful time or even sit up for this practice. Thus, the two giant 'excuses' for missing the practice or disliking it are killed in one shot.
Another equally important reason is that practicing during these two time ramps – entry into sleep and exit out of sleep, has a powerful healing effect. It weakens and gradually eliminates the current stressful style of thinking, feeling and responding.
The state of mind and body with which you enter sleep influences its quality, duration and healing effect. The state with which you exit sleep and begin the morning activities, influences how you respond to the stressful situations during the day. Practicing this relaxation even for a short time, during these periods, disrupts the perpetual cycle of stress twice every single day, a wonderful reversal of a destructive process. As the practice becomes spontaneous over a few months, it eliminates the stress altogether! Many practitioners vouch for this.

Brendon and Wendy and their children have a passion to see the Lord Jesus magnified among the peoples of East Asia, particularly in rural areas where there is no church.
Brendon has a strong spiritual connection to this region having come to Christ while visiting East Asia on a personal study tour. Wendy was raised in a highly multicultural environment and as an adult served and lived among African refugees.
Over the past few years we have worked, studied and ministered in a major East Asian city, before more recently moving to a village.
The Father has called us to reach Jesus' lost bride among a poor, Muslim ethnic group of 2 million people. Having achieved fluency in the national language we are now transitioning to phase two - local language and culture learning. Our mission is to joyfully make Spirit-empowered disciples who will become leaders of a Jesus movement.

Findings uncover the existence of an extra-ribosomal complex consisting of PDCD2L, RPS2, and PRMT3 and support a role for PDCD2L in the late maturation of 40S ribosomal subunits.
PAD4 citrullinates the Arg-Gly repeat region of RPS2, which is also an established site for Arg methylation by protein arginine methyltransferase 3 (PRMT3).
two genes coding for ribosomal proteins (S2 and L10a) encoded tumor antigens recognized by HLA-A26-restricted CTLs
rpS2 is methylated by PRMT3 in vitro and is also methylated in cell lines. Deletion analysis of the rpS2 amino acid sequence identified a N-terminal Arg-Gly repeat as the methylation site.
the nuclear targeting domain shares no significant similarity to already characterized nuclear localization signals in ribosomal proteins or other nuclear proteins
These findings suggest that the nuclear form of FGF3 inhibits cell proliferation by interfering with ribosomal biogenesis.
These results suggest that in addition to its catalytic function, PRMT3 may control the level of rpS2 protein in cells by inhibiting ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of rpS2.
RPS2 or other aberrantly over-expressed ribosomal proteins might promote cancer and be excellent therapeutic targets for treatment of the disease
rpS2 co-fractionates with PRTM3 and is methylated by it.
ribosome protein rpS2 is hypomethylated in the absence of PRMT3, demonstrating that it is a bona fide, in vivo PRMT3 substrate that cannot be modified by other PRMTs
Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 40S subunit. The protein belongs to the S5P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. This gene shares sequence similarity with mouse LLRep3. It is co-transcribed with the small nucleolar RNA gene U64, which is located in its third intron. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome.
