In sexual relationships, much can go unsaid between two people. The pain the fear, the unworthiness conversations can keep people separate from each other. Those feelings breed disconnection and dissatisfaction. While one partner can be happy the other can be in complete despair and tormented by their partners' very existence. The lessons … Continue reading Expressing The Unsaid

A real Migrants World
No Borders - A world of migrants by Haider Rashid, with Elio Germano, is a short film about the oldest drama of the exile, of being migrants, to seek a new home when the real one is lost.
The short film has won the first edition of MigrArti prize at 73rd Venice International Film Festival, which gathered the 16 winners of the announcement of MiBACT productions, to promote film projects capable of contributing to the enhancement of the cultures of immigrant populations in Italy, with the aim of comparison, intercultural dialogue and integration.
A MigrArti project submitted by the Ministry in December 2015, with the need to facilitate as much as possible the knowledge of the cultures of "new Italians", to overcome fears, mistrust and prejudice and with the aim, in the long term, to seek and recognize those reality in Italy dealing with migrant populations, which are now an integral part of our territory.
Haider, Florentine director of Iraqi origin, is a second-generation Italian, the long-discussed one in our newscastsyou creating so much alarmism; Elio Germano, actor, social activist passion, is the narrator, able to empathize.
Filmed in the "Center Baobab" in Rome, repeatedly evicted by the police and the "No Borders" of Ventimiglia, the film uses virtual reality as a tool to immerse themselves in the lives of shelters and offer a different point of view from that of traditional media, through the cancellation of distances.
"My personal and professional path leads me to work with a look that tends to the vision of the future of an Italy where hospitality is part of a long-waited journey towards multiculture" says Rashid.
MigrArti deserves attention, as this groundbreaking documentary film.

Can't change hostname or FQDN on Ubuntu 14.04 LEMP droplet
When I set up the droplet (for lack of an imagination at the time), I set the name to "main". I have one droplet, so that seemed fairly logical. So I set up root ssh access and type "hostname" and it gives me "main". Same deal when I type "hostname -f". Well, I'm trying to set up Exim4 to send mail from my Django app (I only need to send, not receive) and I added "127.0.1.1 main.mydomain.com main" and "<myip> main.mydomain.com main" to /etc/hosts. I then executed "service hostname restart" and "hostname -f" only returned "main". I even rebooted (something I try to avoid doing) and it still comes back "main". Not sure why this is...
I'm guessing, but I'm not 100% sure, that's why when I use the command "echo test message | mail -s test firstname.lastname@example.com" I'm not getting an email at firstname.lastname@example.com (too many emails???). If it isn't absolutely necessary to have hostnames set up to use exim or sendmail (does anybody know if sendmail is installed by default on Ubuntu LEMP droplets), I'd like to avoid it because its caused me such a headache.
Any help will render me eternally grateful to your apparent awesomeness.

Bridger's Baldy
I like timing my hikes for two reasons – first, knowing how long a hike takes so I know what hike I can pack into the time I have. Second, I like to know my pace, judging my fitness and comparing different terrain. Last week, Mike E and I had a conversation about how, at our age, we need to combine fitness and fun. We're not old (we're not 24 either) just busy, so every moment has to be budgeted, efficient, effective.
Got to the trail head about 4:30, timing it just right to avoid the after work onslaught. There is only one car in the upper lot. The Dog and I plan on hiking Baldy via the Sypes trail head. I haven't hiked in about a week and a half because I have been very busy with my various work projects so I wondered how my body would respond.
After the short uphill at "burn out bulge" (you know, the little overlook about a half mile in. It's last uphill on the way out and I usually charge it. Hence the "burn out") my body clicked into the first warm up stage and the dog and I hit our pace, her canter becoming more fluid and springy and my stride lengthened. Half way through the second switch back leading up to the overlook I feel my body lighten, my lungs relax all the life tension cut loose and rise away from me. I grin and step up the pace another notch.
It took me an hour and 15 minutes to get to the Bridger Recreation Trail junction.
Three miles an hour up hill, even stopping to pee, snap photos and space out on the view. Not too bad, I told myself, a little worried I would be out of shape. But, just the opposite, I had a lot of energy and stress to burn off. But, even at this pace we are passed by a mountain biker and two people training for the Ridge Run. It just makes me hike faster, even jogging some sections.
We leave the junction and enter the steeper section, skirting the buttressed ridge and entering the shadow of the opaque mountain hood. This brings a little relief as we push up, ever mindful of the pace, the train of thought and mountain lion habitat. Meditation, footwork, positivity, awareness and, always, back to breath.
We summit in two hours and 10 min.
At the summit I sheepishly ask another Ridge Runner trainee, who had come up from the M, to snap a shot of me. Since I am a photographer, I rarely indulge in photos of myself or "snap a shot" because I feel weird demeaning my photographic gear and process in that way. But, instead of 15lbs of camera gear hanging off my belt and chest, I have a little point and shoot in the cargo pocket of my shorts, so the only thing being demeaned is me. I do miss my 11-16mm with the polarizer for the scenic shots.
…took some photos, listened to eagles, let the wind and the shadows from clouds play across my face, gentle breeze just teased the sun out from the clouds, hazy rays are dusting the valley, the dog snoozes… - my contribution in the summit log.
For an extra workout we run all the way back to the car, pausing briefly to admire the steaming pile of mountain lion shit in the middle of the trail that wasn't there on the way up. Hi Kitty. Good Kitty.
It takes about an hour to get to the beer wrapped in a coozy, which is wrapped in a sweatshirt to keep it cold. Beer always tastes best after a great workout.

"The international e-commerce platforms that App Store and Google Play build provide an opportunity for all independent app developers to launch their products without any assistance from traditional publisher. However, even though the rise of app games has created a wonderful market opportunity for independent developers, there are still many things left (law, marketing, promotion) that those independent developers cannot accomplish by themselves. I am looking forward to share my experience and networking to the Hong Kong E-Commerce industry through my participation at HKFEC. –Mr. Derek Hsu said"
Mr. Hsu with his intensive background both in Taiwan and regional for E-Commerce in gaming industry, he is definitely a good leader to share his success to Hong Kong's E-Commerce market.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – How'd you like to play with your Weiner all day long?
At least one company thinks you might want to.
HeroBuilders.com, which has made custom action figures of various political figures ranging from Sarah Palin to Jimmy "The Rent Is Too Damn High" McMillan, has now made one of Anthony Weiner.
The Weiner doll is dressed in his underwear. A large blue sticker near his groin reads "Tweet This."
There are two versions of the doll. One is $39.95, and is a standard doll. The other, for $49.95, is described as being for "adults only."
Emil Vicale, president of the company, says it has been an exhausting few days since they came up with the idea for the doll.
"It went from idea, to molding, to production to getting the word out" in fifty hours, Vicale said. "I'm losing my mind, my ears are bleeding and my eyes hurt."
The company is in the business of grinding out doll versions of people in the news. Vicale knew when the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal story broke that there would be interest.
Sales are going well.
"It's doing pretty good. The sales should be a few thousand by the end of this week. I'm pretty pleased with it," Vicale said. "I actually thought there would be much more interest."
But which version of the doll is selling?
"The more expensive version is the version everyone wants, and there's a reason for that," Vicale said. "99 percent of all the orders are for the more expensive version." The company dubbed that version the "Weiner Weiner" doll.
The anatomically correct version features a flexible appendage that can be bent in several directions. Vicale said when they were designing the doll, they decided to be generous.
"I made him look like a super hero," Vicale said. "We're 'Hero Builders' after all – this isn't Ken."
Would you purchase an Anthony Weiner doll? Is this too over the top? Sound off in our comments section.

If you are dreaming of being as good as a professional singer and wanting to improve your singing voice
After all singing is such a natural and normal way of expressing yourself and your emotions that to ignore or suppress them would be a tragedy.
Singing makes us react positively to each other and to others and can really make the world a much better place to live in and anyone who wants to sing like a professional singer can do so if they really want to learn how.
It matters not where we travel to in the world we find people love to sing and every nation has its own particular and traditional expression of song.
However in this modern world with its sophisticated systems of communication singing and songs have become more international and commonplace for everyone to enjoy and this is why it means that it is possible to learn how to sing just like a professional singer and then sing in any country in the world.
Just imagine how you would feel after training yourself to sing like a professional singer being able to stand on a stage anywhere in the world and sing your heart out in front of an audience or more pragmatically singing to your friends and family at social functions.
Think of how you would feel having the trained confidence to appear on stage in an opera or to entertain an audience with a full vocal range, hitting every note with full professional perfection perhaps hitting notes higher than you ever had before in your life giving you such a high in confidence and this is possible because you can learn to sing like a professional singer .
There are many ways in which changes can be made to allow you to achieve a better voice as follows:-
Sing with the range and control of a professional singer.
The possible chance of adding an extra octave to your voice.
Improving your singing voice beyond your wildest dreams.
Get the best out of your voice range and more.
The facility to pick and choose from practical exercises to improve vocal control.
Singing practice with original soundtracks.
Training on how to be successful at auditions like X Factor or American Idol for instance
Training on how to sing in harmony.
Learning how to sing with a band.
You can have training on how to sight read music.
Train yourself to have a perfect pitch ear.
Pick up new singing skills.
You can have personal help with singing problems that might occur and more.
Basically, whatever your reasons for wanting to improve your singing it means that anyone can develop their singing skills to possibly professional standards.

Herbs For Horses?
We have an extensive range of herbs for horses ranging from Agnus Castus (often used for for the stroppy mare) to Veteran Supplement (a general supplement for the older horse). Horses being natural herbivores often spend time looking for herbs within the pastures they graze.
Worm Egg Counts?
Faecal worm egg counts and tapeworm saliva tests will provide information which will help our SQP's to advise you on an overall horse health plan including worming when necessary. Worm egg counts can help to identify those horses that have a burden and are the heavier shedders of infective larvae on the pasture and testing for tapeworm help us decide on the frequency of specific tapeworm treatments.

When you're putting on your size 15 trainers do you ever stop to wonder who invented the sports shoe? Trainers go back to the late 18th century when people wore rubber soled shoes known as plimsolls. Around 1892, the U.S. Rubber Company came up with more comfortable rubber trainers with canvas tops, called Keds. By 1917, they began to be mass produced.
That same year, Marquis Converse produced the first shoe made just for basketball, called Converse All-Stars. In 1923, an Indiana hoops star named Chuck Taylor endorsed the shoes, and they became known as Chuck Taylor All-Stars. These are the best-selling basketball shoes of all time. Trainers went international in 1924 when a German man named Adi Dassler created a sneaker that he named after himself: Adidas. This brand became the most popular athletic shoe in the world. Track star Jessie Owens wore Adidas when he won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics. During the first half of the 20th century, sports shoes were worn mostly to play sports. But in the 1950s, kids began wearing them as fashion statements. Even more teens followed the fad after seeing James Dean in sneakers in the film Rebel Without a Cause.

AUSTRAC CEO Paul Jevtovic said that the record $45 million civil penalty serves as a stark reminder to all reporting entities that there are serious consequences for non-compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act).
"Today the court found that Tabcorp had contravened the AML/CTF Act on 108 occasions over a period of more than five years," said Mr Jevtovic.

We have the same shirt! We bought it at the same time too, so we can't say its an accident (mine shrunk in the dryer though, so it needs to be worn over a tank top now :( We actually own a lot of the same clothing - probs from our mutual love of Martin & Osa, which has sadly closed now. It's owned by American Eagle, and they shut it down to make a kid's store. Gross.
macy's necklace
uo (kimchi blue?) top
martin&osa shorts
The denim cutoffs and simple pendant necklace are low-key, while the lacy top dresses up the outfit (and shows a little skin!) in a fun way. Its a lovely day-to-day combination.
We have always shared a love of fashion, so it's fun to have her back, if only for a few days. She was exhausted from traveling, so it was lovely of her to let me take a few photos ^^
Who knows, maybe you will see more of her before her last days in MN are gone!


text: Hi there! I'm DiMMaX and new on this forum. I looked for an answer to my question in these great forums but I couldn't find the right answer. I hope I'm doing right with posting the message in this section. If not, please redirect me I play bass for several years now and I recently joined a new band. This band's focus is Trip-hop / Groovy / Jazzy which was my main motivation to join them. However, I'm that kind of player who never needed any effects but now that's catching up with me.... I now realized I do need some effect to get to what I'm looking for. I'm sure some of you will know what I'm talking about when I talk about the phat deep bass sound from Portishead - Massive Attack and such,... So, my question is simple: which effect(s) is used to get to that kind of sound? The kind of bass you can hear in 'Numb' from Portishead is a very good example (download here). So I'm not looking for the playing-techniques or scales etc,.. just wondering which effect(s).... Maybe some tips about equipment? Any good tips? Many thanks in advance! DiMMaX

I decided to write a follow up post about the new computer.
This is mainly because you guys got interested in knowing some extra things about it and I didn't want to ruin the last post by modifying it that much.
So here's a little mention love:
Patrick Griffin told me on twitter that he wanted to know all the gory details of the geeky stuff involved with the new computer.
Justin Ledvina wanted to know how much did it actually cost to build this computer.
Linda Bond got interested in knowing more about the video camera and the new computer's price.
And last but not least important…
Daniel Sumner who suggested a testing experiment to see the performance of the new system by running a few programs simultaneously.
So without any futher ado, let's jump right to it.
Computer Hardware Internals
These are the core requirements you'll need to build a new computer from scratch.
Computer Case – $41.98
To me, computer cases are irrelevant these days. I just see them as the "box" you use to keep all the internals together so you don't really need to spend a fortune on this component.
My choice was a Black Gaming ATX Tower that was around $40 bucks and what I liked about it was the frontal ports (USB*2 / Audio / e-SATA*1)
Having these frontal ports is very useful when you work a lot with headphones, microphones, flipcams, tablets, etc.
The Amazon similar is the Cooler Master Elite 430 Mid Tower ATX Case which has almost the same price as mine and almost the same specs.
Power Supply Unit (PSU) – $92
For this I went with a known brand for Mexico (Acteck) 900 Watt ATX PSU which was around $92 on my local shop.
While you can get a 900 Watt PSU for less than $50 dollars on Amazon, I wouldn't recommend to get one of those.
If I had to buy my PSU through Amazon I'd be aiming to get the Corsair Enthusiast Series 750-Watt ($104.99) although I would be a little bit concerned about its 750 Watts.
I'd be way more comfortable with the Corsair Enthusiast Series 850 Watt model (a bit extra power) but that can be a bit pricey at $134.99 so it all comes down to your budget.
Central Processing Unit (CPU) – $299.99
This is the absolute CORE of your computer.
You try to save money here and you are literally downgrading your computer performance directly.
You have two options for this component, AMD or Intel.
I have used many AMD processors before. They are great, perform excellent, reliable, don't need insane amounts of cooling and the best of all, they are really affordable.
But… if you read my last post on building a custom pc you'll see that I built my computer based on Mac specifications so I went with Intel.
(my latest processor was a hand picked Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz and was decent enough three years ago. That's also the same exact processor that powers my old Macbook right now but I really need more power for video)
Anyway, my choice for the new computer's processor was the Intel Core i7-2600 Processor 3.4GHz 8 MB Cache Socket LGA1155
It was simply the best I could buy without robbing a bank.
Motherboard – $89.99
This is where you hook everything up and your motherboard's choice will depend highly on what you are building your computer for.
In my case I just needed something that was compatible with the Intel i7 processor, that had USB 3.0 ports, SATA 6.0 GB capable ports and that could handle a lot of RAM.
I chose the Intel Desktop Board Media Series ATX for 2nd generation Intel Processors model DH67CL which is not an expensive model at all and actually, it is a very simplistic motherboard.
Far from superior but it gets the job done.
The dual independent video output with DVI-I and HDMI ports was a nice addition although I knew I was going to push myself a lot farther with a separate video card.
It is nice to see the internal video is robust too.
Also, bare in mind that this motherboard does not comes with VGA ports. (We are building a high-end computer here after all)
Memory modules (RAM 4 x $21.99) – $87.96
I went All-In with the ram modules and bought four sticks of Kingston ValueRAM 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 for a total of 16GB.
I love Kingston memory modules but if I could actually have a choice (I bought everything I could on my local shop) I would have bought the Corsair XMS3 4 GB 1333MHz PC3-10666 240-pin DDR3 Memory Kit for Intel Core i3 i5 i7 ($22.99) hands down.
The difference is only one dollar in price and (17) Kingston reviews vs (113) Corsair reviews gotta says something.
Fun fact: My system actually supports up to 32GB in Ram and Corsair currently sells 8GB memory sticks (4 modules x 8GB = 32GB!)
If I actually think I need the extra horse power at a later time, I'm definitely going to go for it.
Video Card – $179.99
This was actually a suggestion from my friend at the local shop.
Disclaimer: I am not a gamer and don't know anything about high performance video cards. I used to hard code programs 20 years ago (when I was actually a gamer) to trick my computer into thinking it had extended memory and make it jump through hoops and more so I could play the games I wanted but today, I think I'm just old now (lol) and don't know anything about games or video cards.
So with that out of the way, I got the GeForce GTX 560 1024 MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 2DVI/Mini-HDMI SLI Ready (256 -bit) which has an "XLR8 (ACcel ERate) Enthusiast Edition" legend on the front.
From what I understand, this is one of those best bang for the buck kind of graphics cards and apparently is just an amazing deal.
Hard Disk Drive – $157.99
I knew in advance I wanted to have a Solid State Drive on my new computer (spinning-less hard drives) but I couldn't find this kind of drives anywhere in Mexico so I had to order mine through Amazon and wait an eternity for someone to actually bring it to me from the USA (they don't ship electronics to Mexico)
This kind of hard drives (Solid State Drives or SSD) are definitely not cheap so my plan was to use a SSD for Operating System files only and use a Firewire external drive for common work files.
With that said, 64GB was really small considering the amount of space that software needs today and so I decided to take it up just one notch to 128GB. (the Crucial 256GB M4 Solid State Drive was a bit out of my reach at $299.99)
So my no-brainer choice was the Crucial 128 GB m4 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive SATA 6Gb/s and I am literally blown by its performance.
Hard Drive 3.5 to X 2.5-Inch Bay Converter – $7.99
If you decide to buy a solid state hard drive for your desktop computer, you should know that these hard drives are way smaller (2.5 inches) than a regular hard drive (3.5 inches).
In other words, they won't normally fit inside a regular drive bay unless your computer case has a space specifically designed for that.
Even though I never move my computer cases around, I don't like the idea of having a dancing component inside my computer case so I bought a 3.5 to 2.5 Inch Bay Converter to securely fit my SSD inside of the computer case into a regular drive bay.
Optical Drive (DVD Burner) – $26.39
For this I got a Sony 24X SATA Internal DVD+/-RW Drive but it could have been anything really.
I barely use DVDs now but they come in handy when you need to install stuff, so get your favorite brand and just get on with it.
Just make sure it is SATA though, because if it has the old IDE connector, you may not be able to install that on your new motherboard.
Computer Monitor – $225
I did not buy a new monitor as I am just using the one I had before, which is a BenQ America G2220HD 5ms 21.5-Inch Wide LCD
It looks very good and it also has both connectors (VGA and DVI) it doesn't comes with speakers (thank God) and I'm pretty happy with it so far.
Keyboard – $13.99
For my keyboards I don't use anything fancy, whenever I need one I just go to Wal-Mart and buy any USB keyboard that doesn't looks like it's from a Science Fiction movie (I can't use ergonomic keyboards at all)
The one I'm using right now is a Logitech Keyboard K120 and even though I have had better keyboards before, it fits my purposes perfectly.
Mouse – $17.11
This is the same case for keyboards. I don't really have a preference for computer mice but I normally use either Logitech or Microsoft.
For laptops I use the Logitech Wireless Mouse M215 which has a very small nano receiver which I never take off from the usb port (I don't recommend using this mouse for prolonged periods of use)
And for desktops I normally go for bigger ones but as with keyboards, I don't get any fancy weird-looking mices. I just get something I can fit on my hand and move it freely and comfortable.
Let's Go For A Quick Recap
We have reviewed the following:
- Computer Case $41.98
- Power Supply Unit (PSU) $92
- Central Processing Unit (CPU) – $299.99
- Motherboard – $89.99
- Memory modules (RAM 4 x $21.99) – $87.96
- Video Card – $179.99
- Hard Disk Drive – $157.99
- Hard Drive 3.5 to X 2.5-Inch Bay Converter – $7.99
- Optical Drive (DVD Burner) – $26.39
- Computer Monitor – $225
- Keyboard – $13.99
- Mouse – $17.11
(Please let me know in case I forgot to include something although I did not consider anything apart from a computer itself. Hence, speakers/headphones)
Grand Total: $1,240.38
Live Demonstration
I recorded a live video demonstration with the new computer on YouTube.
The video is long so you can just skip to the 4:10 mark and check it out from there.
So there you have it.
A fine tuned high-end machine ready to rock for only $1,240.38
The cheapest iMac starts at $1,199.00 and I'm pretty sure I could even trim costs to get this custom PC under $1,199 but remember, this is not a Mac vs PC competition.
I own both systems and I think that each one has its pros and cons so I use them as I see convenient.
This guide is just a way to show you that if you do your due diligence right, you CAN build a very high performance computer with a very low investment.
Disclaimer: Putting the computer together is NOT an easy task and connecting something incorrectly can lead to fry the whole thing (believe me, I once was a hardware noobie too and learnt that the hard way)
Technical Questions?
If you have any questions on this, compatibility issues or how can you upgrade your computer or whatever you need, feel free to ask in the comments section and I'll be more than glad to help you out in case I know the answer.
Take care, have a great weekend and thanks for reading!
Bonus Picture
That used to be a computer that came second to none. ;-)

Rick Hoffman is still surprised that self-saboteur sometimes-villain Louis Litt has become a fan favorite on USA's Suits. "I was with my girlfriend in the mall here in Toronto, and we couldn't get out of there for four hours because people kept coming up and saying such nice things about the show," he says. "I just think that they're, like, tricking me, and they're gonna punch me in the face. It's insane." But it's because fans have grown so invested in Louis' rehabilitation that tonight's episode (USA, 10 p.m. ET) is such an emotional rollercoaster. Harvey lashes out at Louis as the firm's losing clients and associates are being poached. "This is what's so great about the writers: Before these six episodes started, Louis was in Siberia and no one would want to talk to him, including myself — I get so heartbroken when I read that he does these things," Hoffman says. "The first episode back was Louis' bumbling relationship with Sheila Sazs [Rachael Harris], which is light and fun and it gives that side to Louis. And then here comes the real heavy blow with Harvey, where Louis really gets what I think he deserves."
Watch a promo for the episode, "Blood in the Water," below. Come back to Inside TV tonight for more of our interview with Hoffman in which he talks about Louis' best scenes from the hour — which is one of his favorites.

Eric Koepele is leaving his post running digital ad sales for Hearst TV to join Ziff Davis. This is the third high-profile media vet to join Ziff Davis since ex-Time Inc. (NYSE: TWX) exec Vivek Shah teamed with Great Hill Partners to acquire the company in June. Koepele, who was with Hearst TV for four years, takes on the role of SVP of Sales & Marketing for the tech publisher, which owns PCMag.com among other titles.
Before Hearst TV, Koepele was a VP for ad sales at Cnet. While there, he was helped develope the sales team structures and training for CNET.com, Download.com and News.com. Part of his strategy at Cnet was to expand the range of advertisers on its sites beyond the natural tech marketers, something Ziff Davis might be interested in replicating. In his role at Hearst TV, his group oversaw 25 markets across the country.
Shah and his investment partner bought the company a year after emerged from bankruptcy. With its heavy debt load completely erased, Ziff Davis' advertising has also been doing pretty well, Shah has said. The strong return of display advertising, particularly in the tech area, suggests that there might well be something to back up that claim. Furthermore, the fact that media vets like Koepele have been signing up for jobs there is another indication that a turnaround at Ziff Davis more possible now than at any other point over the past few years.

18. [T03868] Ships bearing up for Anchorage Exh. 1802
known as The Egremont Seapiece
Canvas, 47 × 71 (119·5 × 180·3)
Signed 'J M W Turner pinx' lower right
Coll. Bought from Turner by George, third Earl of Egremont (1751–1837) possibly in 1802 at the R.A. but in any case he owned it by 1805 (see below); by descent to the third Lord Leconfield who in 1947 conveyed Petworth to the National Trust; in 1957 the contents of the State Rooms were accepted by the Treasury in part payment of death duties.
Exh. R.A. 1802 (227); R.A. 1892 (131); Tate Gallery 1951 (5); R.A. 1951–2 (182); Agnew English Pictures from National Trust Houses 1965 (30); Brussels 1973 (63); R.A. 1974–5 (72).
Engr. By Charles Turner in the Liber Studiorum, published 20 February 1808, entitled 'Ships in a Breeze'. (Rawlinson 10. There are considerable differences from the original, which no doubt account for the alteration in the title as the ships are no longer 'bearing up for anchorage' in the print, the composition of which is a good deal more concentrated. There is a drawing for the print in the Turner Bequest CXVI-M.)
Lit. Petworth inventories 1837, 1856 (North Gallery); Burnet and Cunningham 1852, p. 111 no. 70; Waagen 1854, ii, p. 37; Thornbury 1862, ii, pp. 5, 397; 1877, pp. 98, 199, 200, 570, 594; Bell 1901, p. 79 no. 98; Armstrong 1902, p. 230; Collins Baker 1920, p. 123 no. 33; Finberg 1924, p. 39; 1961, pp. 79, 465 no. 76; Rothenstein and Butlin 1964, p. 16 pl. 18; Reynolds 1969, p. 46; Wilkinson 1972, pp. 143, 154; Joll 1977, pp. 375–6; Wilton 1979, p. 82, colour pl. 68; Gage 1980, p. 250; Ziff 1980, p. 168.
There are a good many studies for this picture, some of them of great beauty, in the Turner Bequest, mainly in the 'Calais Pier' sketchbook (LXXXI): pp. 64–5, 66–7 (left-hand part of composition only), 72–3 (the most finished study, reproduced inside the front covers of Wilkinson), 88–9, 112–13, 115. Some of these are inscribed in Turner's hand 'Ld. Egremont's Picture' when he evidently went through the sketchbook in 1805 (a number of drawings are inscribed: 'Study not painted 1805' which fixes the date). Further preparatory drawings occur in the 'Dolbadarn' sketchbook (XLVI), on pp. 114, 115 and 118. There are some much slighter studies in the 'Studies for Pictures' sketchbook (LXIX) pp. 29–32, 40 verso–41, 91. In some cases the connection is clear, in others more tenuous. These drawings emphasise the care Turner took over the composition which, in its finished state, does perfectly illustrate the title, showing in detail ships sailing, coming up into the wind, shortening sail and dropping anchor. Professor Bachrach has drawn my attention to the similarity between the ship at anchor (although Turner has shown it as greatly elongated) and a model of a ship which Turner owned (now in the Tate Gallery).
This picture attracted almost no attention when at the R.A., the critics concentrating mainly on The Tenth Plague (No. 17 [N00470]) and after that on Fishermen on a Lee-Shore (No. 16) and the watercolours of Scotland. The only paper to mention it was the Daily Advertiser and Oracle for 5 May which wrote: 'That which struck us amidst the crowd and bustle which prevail at the first opening of the Academy as the best, is a scene with ships beating up to gain anchorage. It is indeed a most forcible and judicious performance, well drawn and admirably coloured.'
Such neglect seems extraordinary after the attention paid to the Bridgewater Seapiece the previous year (see No. 14), especially as this great early masterpiece goes even beyond its predecessor in its dramatic rendering of a stormy sky and turbulent sea.

St. Anne's Mission
There is an historical island off the Potlotek First Nation in the Bras D'or Lakes. It has been a meeting place for the Mi'kmaq of the maritime provinces since time immemorial. The island has been called by different names. It was called one name by the French and another by the English, but to the Mikmaw it was and still is, simply called, Mniku. (island) It was chosen by Father Maillard missionary, 1735-1762 for his ministry to the Mi'kmaq. He said the first mass on the island on a boulder in 1742. In the early 1750's he was able to build a chapel.
Mniku, the little island is the oldest reserve in what was the colony of Cape Breton island. Mniku became a reserve when Grand Chief Michael Thomas asked for and was granted a land grant in 1792 by the new provincial government. The purpose of the grant was so that a new mission church could be built on the island.
Chapel Island Reserve, Called Barra Head until the name change in 1958 compared to the historic island, is relatively new. It was given it's land grant in 1834.
There has been an annual mission on Chapel Island (mniku since 1742, making it the longest continuous mission in Canada. The Present church on the island is the sixth church, the fifth one burned down on December 11, 1976.
Pow wow is a tribal gathering to renew social and spiritual ties. Great respect is shown to the drum at a gathering. Tobacco is offered to the spirits called by the drum and to the spirit of the drum itself. Songs to the beats of the drum have the power to unite people. There are festive dances, dances of war and conquest, honor and family. joy and mourning.
The community has a big role in the organization of a pow wow. There are strict rules. For example, liquor or drugs are not allowed in the pow wow grounds. There are security people working around the clock to make sure that rules casino online are followed. A sacred fire is lit at the beginning of the pow wow and is not permitted to go out until the pow wow is over. Firekeepers take turns watching the fire to make sure it doesn't go out. Some communities provide booths, tents or canopies for the sellers.
It is the community's responsibility to provide breakfast and an evening feast every evening of the pow wow. A give-away is held at the end of the pow wow. The first pow wow in Chapel Island was held in 1993. It was organized by George Marshall. It has been held annually ever since. It starts on the third Friday of July and ends the following Monday.
Mi'kmaw Mid Winter Feast
Feast (Wi'kapaltimk Aqtapuk) is an ancient Mi'kmaw Feast. It was celebrated shortly after the first new moon of Punamuiku's(January) Mid-winter was the end of the year and the start of the new ceremonial year for the ancient Mi'kmaq.
The Mid-winter Feast purpose was the presentation of thanksgiving to all the spiritual forces, especially to the Great spirit, for the blessings of life, health, and sustenance and the privilages of social life." Our ancestors had elaborate celebrations and this being their main one, it was most likely celebrated by speeches, dances rituals and fasting.
The Mid-winter feast was re-newed by Lillian B. Marshall in Chapel Island in 1989 as a result of supporting and showing our appreciation for our hunters who risked prosecution by joining the illegal moose hunt in the Cape Breton Highlands on September 17, 1988 that was staged by the Union of Nova Scotia Indians. The Union was protesting the lack of government action in settling treaty rights disputes, claiming a right to do so under the treaty of 1752.
The Feast has continued to the present day. It consists of a one day thanksgiving celebration with mass at the Chapel and a big meal with traditional mi'kmaw food and entertainment afterwards. It's held on a Sunday following the first new moon of January.

Cosplayers were everywhere at PAX East. The costumes were ridiculous. These people have to spend months making these costumes. This was the most interesting part of the show. It was like Halloween and everyone had to dress up as a video game character. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. A word of warning, I would say some of the costumes would not be in a PG rated movie. You've been warned!
The End.

Not many tasks are more challenging for today's fundraiser than mounting a campaign that has to succeed across a wide range of different media. But, increasingly, fundraising and social change campaigns are required to work in more than one medium, often in several. Truly the twenty-first century fundraiser has to be a master of communication. To get one central message across consistently and effectively deploying all of the available media demands consummate professionalism.

It is almost my favorite time of the year: full fledge fall. I have always loved autumn because of fall fashions (love layering), falling leaves, the smell of decay, cooler weather, pumpkin spiced lattes, and mushrooms. David and I are mushroom hunters. This keeps us outside when the weather is less than perfect. It's actually fun to be out in the misty rain with decaying leaves just to spot their strange shapes, odors, and colors. We eat what we know is safe, very obvious ones, but mainly I just love mushrooms for their strangeness. (And when I say we hunt mushrooms, I must add that we are all about the non-psychotropic types). It is almost prime mushroom time here in the forests of Washington. We went out today and saw a few. It was nice to see after the dryness and hotness of our freakish summer. Since we are mushroom fans, we are always happy to spot mushroom decor. I'm always on the "hunt" for mushroom home items. I love this toad stool found at Velocity. It's a bit costly at $297 and many local artists in the PNW can create one of these for much cheaper. But, anyways, I love these but I didn't know how to use it without looking too cheesy, nerdy, hobit-ish or make it work with what I like. I found this Parisian apartment online and fell in love with it. It is very whimsy, but still classic and functional and totally what I am in to.
It is a very inspiring room for the fungi fanatic. Every detail is so interesting. It's classy and a bit unexpected. This is how I want our house to be. A bit stuffy but with a sense of humor. I love the beach pebble lilac grey walls of the sitting room/dining room area against the contrast of the pickle green wallpaper. (I must add I adore the dog paintings, wouldn't it be cool to have Gig paintings over a formal sofa like that?) I feel this space is so charming and functional. Plus, it doesn't hurt to have a location in Paris, amazing woodwork, perfect hardwood floors, and towering ceilings.
It's nice to think about decorating again and not the boring stuff of a renovation such as peeling wallpaper, popping staples, demolishing walls, and restoring hardware.

What is a Transport Assessment?
The National Planning Policy Framework states that all developments that generate significant amounts of movement should be supported by a Transport Statement or Transport Assessment and submitted with a planning application for the development. It will then be used to determine whether the transport impact of the development is acceptable.
Transport Assessments are normally produced by specialist transport planning professionals such as Sanderson Associates on behalf of developers and are used by decision makers in the planning process.
A Transport Assessment is a comprehensive and systematic process that sets out transport issues relating to a proposed development. It identifies what measures will be taken to deal with the anticipated transport impacts of the scheme and to improve accessibility and safety for all modes of travel, particularly for alternatives to the car such as walking, cycling and public transport.
In some cases, the transport issues arising out of a development proposal may not require a full Transport Assessment to inform the process adequately and identify suitable mitigation. In these instances, it has become common practice to produce a simplified report in the form of a Transport Statement. There will also be situations where the transport issues relating to a development proposal are limited, and no formal assessment is necessary.
Transport Assessments should consider the impact of the development on all transport modes, set out proposals to minimise the impact of the development on the transport network and promote measures to encourage sustainable transport. To this end, it is a usual requirement that a Transport Assessment is accompanied by a Travel Plan that will be implemented as part of the development proposals upon occupation and sets out measures to encourage sustainable transport.
The Transport Assessment process and the development of measures to encourage sustainable travel should be developed through consultation with the relevant authorities. This is an iterative process that often requires a number of revisions to the development proposals and sustainable travel measures before it can be agreed that the transport impact of the development has been reduced to a minimum. At this point the residual transport impact is assessed and mitigation measures are designed as necessary. The diagram below outlines the normal approach:-
This iterative approach to the Transport Assessment ensures that improvements to sustainable modes of transport are always considered first, with measures to increase the capacity of roads or junctions only considered at the end of the process to mitigate the residual traffic impact of the development.
Transport Assessments identify the impact of the development in 'person trips', which are then broken down by transport mode. This normally involves the use of the nationally accepted TRICS database that enables the calculation of person/vehicle trips rates for different forms of development. Alternatively the use of bespoke survey data from other development sites are used, which can give a more accurate estimate of trip generation if a suitably representative site can be found in close proximity to the development site being considered.
Once development trips have been estimated, the distribution of trips can be predicted though various techniques, including gravity models or using existing travel pattern information or other empirical data. Information is also gathered on any existing person/vehicle trips from the existing use of the site and these are discounted from the network, to produce a net increase or decrease in trips within agreed assessment periods, which are usually considered during weekday AM/PM and weekend peak hour periods.
Once the net trip predictions are known, the local transport network is examined to establish whether capacity exists that can adequately accommodate development trips. When assessing the traffic impact on the highway network, this usually requires assessment of the immediate highway links and junction connections, with the scope of assessment limited to the highway network where the potential for material impact is anticipated. The traffic assessment will potentially include junction modelling of traffic movements in existing, opening and future design year scenarios, which are normally at least 5 years hence. Surveys of existing traffic flows on the local network are required to establish the base situation, with traffic growth factors applied to predict future design year conditions, derived through the National Trip End Model (NTEM) forecasts or other empirical data.
Based on traffic surveys undertaken by Sanderson Associates at various locations throughout the United Kingdom between 2005 and 2011, it is clear that traffic volumes have not increased to the extent previously estimated. In some cases base traffic levels have decreased by up to 10% over this time period, resulting in improvements in network performance rather than capacity problems that were previously forecast. These changes in traffic growth forecasts have now been recognised by the Department for Transport and can be calculated using TEMPro software.
Where the traffic assessment identifies that the level of additional traffic movements cannot be accommodated by existing infrastructure, then off site highway improvements need to be considered to ensure that the impact of the development is neutral, i.e. that it is no worse than existing circumstances. Similarly pedestrian/cycle routes and public transport facilities are examined and if improvements are necessary to accommodate development trips, then improvements need to be considered to these facilities to encourage access by sustainable modes.
The operational safety of a development is a key consideration and a detailed appraisal of the recorded personal injury accident records for the local highway network is usually required, determining casualty, linked factors and common problems that may need to be addressed as part of the development.
The assessment concludes with a summary of its findings and recommendations outlining the developments compliance with National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF Updated February 2019) and Local Plans.
Local Plans are produced by each local planning authority and is the key to delivering sustainable development that reflects the vision and aspirations of the local community. Planning decisions must be taken in accordance with the plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise.
Local Plans are designed to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. To this end, they should be consistent with the principles and policies set out in National Planning Policy Framework, including presumption in favour of development.

Making 283 Useful Ideas from Japan was an "information design" exercise, i.e. communicating a large body of information, in the shortest amount of readers' time, with a high memory retention coefficient. Coming up with the design was easy. Pictorially representing the book's diverse objects, situations, and concepts took a bit of thought. Eventually I ruled out photography because, in my experience, the likelihood of mass-producing truly engaging photographs was slim. Additionally, the logistics—assembling/coordinating the objects and environments, the stylist, the photographer, his/her assistant, etc.—would be complex and expensive. Illustration seemed the way to go. The following is what resulted, as later chronicled in 13 Books: Notes on the Design, Construction & Marketing of My Last . . . (2001).
"Illustrations were executed in an intentionally awkward Japanese graphic style called heta-uma ("bad-good"; "clumsy-tasty"). I had originally wanted to employ a U.S.-based illustrator who could draw in the straightforward, perfectly clear style then prevalent in the New York Times. But working with someone not currently living in Japan would, it seemed, present authenticity problems. The tiniest of details often differentiate things Japanese from Western. I would have had to present the illustrator with photographs of every conceivable object and/or explain at great length how things Japanese look. A lot of cliched visual information would sneak in anyway. Ultimately I selected Shack Mihara, a Tokyo-based illustrator who captured the peculiarities of his society with well-placed visual asides that made the book much more accurate and entertaining than it would have been otherwise."

Technology titan 'Apple' has continued its journey of massive sales for iPhone, generating revenue on a much larger scale. It is recently reported that 'Apple' sold 61.1 million iPhones in the quarter, bringing in $40.3 billion in revenue, making this the second biggest quarter for iPhone sales and overall profit in its history. Apple's previous quarter was its largest ever for iPhone sales, selling a record 74.5 million units and posting $51.2 billion in revenue.
Apple CEO Tim Cook states: "We're seeing a higher rate of people switching to iPhone than we've experienced in previous cycles,"
However this time last year investors were complaining about its low and slow iPhone sales, but with 'Apple' selling over 135 million iPhones in last six months such concerns doesn't matter much. It is clear that iPhone is a popular choice among people by its continuation to be purchased in such huge numbers, but as usual, Apple didn't break down sales numbers for each iPhone.
Apple also made more money last quarter in China than Europe for the first time ever, with $160 million coming in from the region versus $120 million in Europe. That's an increase of 71 percent over the same quarter in 2014. A year ago there were doubts about whether China was ever going to be much of a market for Apple – this last quarter it sold more iPhones in China than in the US.
"We are thrilled by the continued strength of iPhone, Mac and the App Store, which drove our best March quarter results ever,"

David Westbury has sent me a new version of the Photon graphics viewer, along with a new version of the PHGTK toolkit of graphics conversion functions.
Photon now supports output to PIC files with a command such as EX Photon,infile$,outfile$;command$ and the \m16\m32\m33 mode number switches. It is now possible to save converted files from Photon in a mode other than the current display mode, as long as you use the mode switches, otherwise it defaults to the current screen mode.
Dithering is now possible for 256 colour files, to produce better colour output in mode 16 from Photon.
PHGTK: the author says "Small update to PHTGK, I have combined separate parts into one whole."
