Germany: stronger economy raises Merkel vote hopes
From online shopping firms to banks and autos, profits are up at German firms. As David Pollards reports, the results come as industrial output points to solid growth, giving a boost to Chancellor Angela Merkel as she bids for a fourth term in September's federal election.
With five months to go to a federal election, it's what Germany's ruling Conservatives wanted. The weekend's local election victory boosting Angela Merkel's hopes for a fourth term as Chancellor -- just when the economy is blooming. New data shows industrial output up 1.4 per cent on the quarter, orders up for a second month in a row, exports at a record high. (SOUNDBITE) (English) GLOBAL FINANCIAL ECONOMIST, COMMERZBANK, PETER DIXON, SAYING: "It's fair to say that the economy is benefiting from a recovery in global growth. Certainly that's one thing which helped the German economy. You're starting to see a little bit more of a boost coming through from the consumer side as well." And for corporates too, there's a fair wind... The day's results show Commerzbank beating forecasts with a 28 per cent rise in Q1 profit - in part thanks to one-off factors. Continental raised its outlook for tyre and car parts sales - it expects business to remain strong. And job vacancies in Germany have hit an all-time high as Europe's biggest economy expands faster than its workforce. (SOUNDBITE) (English) GLOBAL FINANCIAL ECONOMIST, COMMERZBANK, PETER DIXON, SAYING: "I think across the whole of corporate Germany is a sense that, you know, companies have had to tighten their belts. I think to a large extent workers have bought into that. And obviously that's starting to pay off, now that activity levels are picking up." This didn't pay off for Munich Re's results. Hurricane Debbie not only battered Australia in March - but the claims that resulted also hitting the German insurer's profits. While Germany's still massive trade surplus could also be a headwind - in relations with global trading partners. As Merkel heads towards a national vote, that's potentially on the list of problems she faces. Even if for now the domestic economy isn't.

A town in Nottinghamshire is hoping to reach its goal of free wi-fi for visitors by asking local residents and businesses to chip in for the cost of the service.
The Business Improvement District (BID) partnership in Mansfield has already secured £100,000 from the government to bring free wi-fi to the area, but is taking a leaf out of savvy startups' books by raising the remaining £38,000 required through crowdfunding.
More than £5000 has already been pledged on the campaign page from residents and businesses keen to draw in visitors with the offer of free wi-fi.
Customers are increasingly demanding free wi-fi from local businesses. In a report released last year, it was revealed that nearly one in five (18%) small businesses had given out their personal wi-fi details to customers so they can access the web from their premises.
Mansfield BID manager Sarah Nelson told the BBC the plan could give Mansfield a boost: "There aren't many towns that have free wi-fi for visitors.
"People will be able to stay in town a lot longer. They won't have to rush home to get on the internet", she said.
Do you offer free wi-fi in your business premises? Let us know in the comments below.

Determining The Perfect Promotional Product For Your Company
People ask us all the time what promotional product would be best to use for their business. Ahh…is this a question you've wanted to ask, too? Well, here's the answer……drum roll, please! It's different for every business. Ugh! Not what you wanted to hear, right? Did you think the answer would be easy? Sorry! It isn't. But, here's a tried and true way to determine what the answer is for YOUR business. Think about finding your company's perfect promotional product like you would think about finding the perfect home for your family. It's all about location, location, location! You can find the prettiest home, with all the rooms you want, beautiful landscape and it's even got stainless steel appliances and granite countertops! BUT, if it isn't in the school system you want or near your job, it isn't the perfect home for you because the location isn't right. The same is true of a promotional product. It might be on sale or a really pretty color or you just personally want one of those products for yourself. But, is that the best product for your business? Think about your ideal or perfect client. Where do you think they might be when they think of needing someone in your industry? If the product you're considering purchasing can't be used where your customers and potential customers are going to be when they decide they need a business like yours, then it isn't the perfect one for you. Here's an example: For a bank, one perfect client would be someone looking to purchase a new car. Many people will need to acquire a loan from a bank to be able to purchase that new ride. Where do you think people are – physically – when they determine they need the assistance of a lender? Well, they may be in their current car so consider products like an air freshener, a plastic folder to hold their car insurance papers or a coffee tumbler. They may also be at the mechanics, so a wall calendar with your logo would be easy for all customers to see. Does having a promotional product with your company name on it, in the right location, at the right time, guarantee your company will get their business? Well, consider these statistics: - 83% of people like receiving promotional products - 47% keep promotional products for over 1 year - 88% recall the name of the advertiser on the product - 85% do business with the advertiser I'd say those are pretty good odds in your favor! If you still can't determine what products would be best for you, give us a call at 419-358-0700 or send an email to email@example.com. We'll be happy to help!

19 January 1964, pp. 24-25
A doctor wields his scalpel to restore life to an art that has been dead for many years from age and neglect. For the past two years, Dr. Gregorio G. Lim—a physician by profession and painter by avocation—has been collecting old Philippine santos (religious wood statuettes) of the 17th, 18th, and 19th-century vintage. Not very long ago, he started adding to his collection some religious paintings on wood panels which he salvaged from the heaps of statuettes in the shop of an art dealer.
At that time, very few collectors would have bothered about the paintings because the pictures were hardly recognizable and would have taken so much time and expense to clean and restore them. The avid an curious arrtist that he was (and still is), Dr. Lim did not allow himself to be fool or daunted by the deteriorated appearance of the paintings. With a good amount of patience and ingenuity, he believed that he could retouch the pictures back to their original looks.
Dr. Lim's interest, resourcefulness and imagination have paid off. Today, he has about a hundred of the wood-panel paintings in his collection—"veritable art treasures", in the words of the doctor who considers them more colourful than the sculptured ones and certainly more fascinating because of the challenging task of restoration.
The problem of restoration is manifold. First, the old paints have become powdery so that they often peel off at the slightest touch. Second, the many years'accumulation of dirt and mud has almost become an integral part of the original paint. There, too, is the discovery of two or more pictures over the original painting; thus, the removal of these ''over paintings'' taxesone's knowledge of how paints behave after application.
Dr. Lim cautions those who would attempt to do the job of restoration to exercise utmost care. ''Many good paintings have been lost,'' laments the doctor, ''because of careless or impatient hands''.
For an idea of how painstaking and time-consuming the work of restoration is, Dr. Lim describes in detail his first experience with a centuries-old painting. ''I came upon a badly painted-but clear picture on an old panel which nobody paid attention to, because it had no artistic quality. What attracted my attention were several small cracks in the paints. Peeling off a very small area, I discovered old paints underneath. I bought the panel and and did the scarping of the overlaid paints with a surgical knife. After carefully exposing the middle areas of the panel, I was surprised to see the outline of a face and neck partly hidden by a smaller second painting of the Madonna. The third and topmost painting was superficial so that it was easily scraped off. The second overlay, however, proved tough because it was very adherent to the original. The removal of this second picture taxed my patience. I did it meticulously, pinpoint by pinpoint, especially on the facial area. Then, with little retouchings, the masterpiece in its original form was uncovered.''
Despite a busy daily schedule of preserving or restoring health to ailing bodies at the Blessed Heart Hospital where he is the director, Dr. Lim manages to find time for his restorative art in painting. His usual hours for his hobby are from four to six in the early morning and late at night when "I can no longer sleep after a medical call.''
Dr. Lim's hobby is in itself a distinct contribution to the historical and cultural wealth of the country. His restored paintings have brought to light the fact that during the Spanish regime, many unknown—and most probably untutored—Filipino artisans displayed remarkable skill in their production of religious works which, in some cases, bore amazing resemblance to the style of classical masters.
As for his own paintings, Dr. Lim's works rank among the best in the country. He has won various awards in art competitions both here and abroad. These include first prize, APAA exhibit in Atlantic City; award of merit, 1955 in New York; second prize, 1958 exhibit, AAP, in Manila; and honourable mention, 1960 exhibit, AAP , Manila. Specializing in still-life, Dr. Lim, has had several one-exhibits sponsored by the AAP of which he was once president; from 1956 to 1958.
The 56-year old physician-painter is a 1935 graduate of the UP college of medicine with anatomy and surgery as his field of concentration. In 1955, he took advanced courses in general medicine at the University of Vienna, after which he practiced at the famous John Hopkins for two months. At present, he is president-elect for 1964 of the Philippine Academy of General Practice, secretary of the Philippine Medical center and member of the Juan Luna Centennial Commission.
The skill and dedication that Dr. Lim has shown in his profession he has brought to bear on his avocation render in symbolic form the saying that life and art are one and indivisible.

Young Gun + '69 Charger = Bodacious B-Body
Illinois' license plates wear the motto: Land of Lincoln. Judging by the many Mopars we've seen on the streets and roads of the Prairie State over the years–whether or not they were sold new by Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge–the slogan Land of Mopars might be a better one.
It would go perfectly on the plates that Tyler Harvey's '69 Dodge Charger R/T wears. The Young Gun from Villa Grove, Illinois, got his Charger as a high school graduation present, though it was far from the condition you see here. "It was in pretty rough shape when I got it," he says, but it was a '69 Charger–a car he'd always wanted to build. Though rusted in many places, it was complete, and all the glass was in good shape.
After the non-running 440 and other parts that were bolted on–or in the case of the A-833 four-speed, held on by screwdrivers–came off, it was time to derust the body. The roof, the firewall, the upper quarter-panels, and doors are still used from the original car.
With help from a company in the resto-parts business, as well as a specialty salvage yard, Tyler found the replacement metal to make his Charger's body whole again. "Most of the reproduction parts I got from YearOne," says Tyler. "I also got parts from a Mopar salvage yard north of here, in Oregon, Illinois, called Mopar City." Tyler, his dad, and grandfather–who helped him on the restoration–made several trips to the ten-acre, all-Mopar salvage yard for needed parts. He says, "One was a four-speed crossmember because the original one was eaten away by rust. We also got the rear framerails up there."
The Harveys had the engine machined at G&G Machine Shop in nearby Rantoul, and then assembled by Ebby Bergfield–with Tyler's assistance–at Ebby's Pit Stop in Arcola, Illinois. The 440 was bored .030-inch, zero-decked, then built up with Speed Pro 10.7:1 pistons on stock rods, a polished and balanced stock steel crankshaft, stock heads, a Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam with Mancini valvesprings, plus an Edelbrock RPM intake with a Speed Demon 750 carburetor. Ignition is thanks to a Mopar electronic system with a high-output control box, an Accel super stock coil and wires, and Power Master's chrome alternator and high-torque starter. Also starring on Tyler's 440 are Hooker headers and 40-series Flowmaster mufflers.
The four-speed that came with the Charger was replaced by a Keisler five-speed conversion with a Tremec TKO 600 gearbox, hydraulic clutch, pistol-grip floor shifter, and actual fasteners that were up for the job. Speaking of strong hardware, the chassis got its share of it with Master Power brakes (slotted discs up front, drums in back), rebuilt front and rear suspensions, and a manual-steering system that Tyler prefers over power.
The Harvey family, aided by friend Randy French, got the Charger ready for paint, which was also done by an Illinois craftsman. Harold Good at Good's Body Shop in Arcola applied the PPG F8 green paint, and Tyler applied the bumblebee stripe in back (thanks to a Mopar Muscle how-to article).
Four and a half years after Tyler got the Charger, Mopar fans got a good look at it at the '07 Mopar Nationals, where he took home the Young Guns Best in Show trophy as well as a Second Place prize in the Modified Charger class.
Is driving a big car like a B-Body Charger a pain without power steering? Not if you ask Tyler. He says, "I really like the old stock manual steering in it. I wasn't alive back in the day when that car was new, but I wanted it that way. I like having my manual shift, manual steering, and almost the biggest engine block I could have, with none of the goodies. That's what got me into old Mopars; that's how I wanted it. When I'm out on the open road, nothing makes me feel better. I don't know when I've ever passed another car and not gotten a thumbs-up or a double-look. It's a good time!"
And better times are ahead for the Young Gun and his Charger. He tells us, "I do have a few upgrades that I'd like to get done before I bring it back to the Mopar Nationals. I'd like to get my dash and gauges repainted so the gauges look cleaner. I'm also looking into putting woodgrain inserts across the dash. I'd have to do a little modifying with my CD player in there, but I've always liked the woodgrained dash look. It wasn't originally on my car, but neither was the five-speed or a lot of stuff that I have on it. Also, I'm looking into putting some new headers on. My old ones are starting to discolor a little bit."
Finally, advice from one Young Gun to potential ones: "Keep holding on to your dream. If you have a car, don't let anyone take that away from you. I've had a lot of people say, 'That car's way past re-doing.' If you really want to do it, keep working at it and don't listen to them. It does get hard sometimes, and sometimes it seems like it will never end. But I'm a firm believer that if you keep working hard, and keep your head on straight, eventually you'll get there. It's a great hobby to be in. It's a good investment, and the results and payback are great after you're done. There is nothing better than driving around in my car because I built the thing back up from where we got it–in bad shape and as rusty. Nothing makes me feel prouder than thinking of the four years of all the sweat, blood, and time that went into it."

The Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has announced to offer an oil exploration bid for the oil resources of the Red Sea in Q1 2018
The announcement comes in light of the results of 2D and 3D seismic surveys which are presently being conducted in the Red Sea, as reported by Egypt's Daily News.
The companies currently conducting surveys are considered to be designated for several areas in the Red Sea, said the source.
The result is expected to be sold to companies that intend to examine them during preparing for the participation in the bid. According to the source, the bid is planned to be offered by the middle of next year.
The Egyptian Holding Company for Natural Gas (EGAS), which owns and manages state stakes in different gas projects, has granted permission to four international companies to explore oil and gas in four sectors of the Mediterranean.
According to the source, there are minimal investments of US$306mn and signing grants of US$10.5mn to dig eight wells and conduct three-dimensional seismic surveys.
The winning companies include BP and Eni, a subsidiary of IEOC alliance, to explore sector four in North Ras El Esh, said EGAS. In addition, the IEOC, BP and Total alliance were awarded sector seven and north of Hamad.
Italy's Edison was awarded sector 12, with BP being awarded sector 14, EGAS further added.

Acquisition adds to company's vision to unify the front and back office; Manages social and mobile savvy workforces from hire to retirement
Company also acquires the business and assets of Less Software and introduces FinancialForce SCM
San Francisco – November 18, 2013: FinancialForce.com, the company revolutionizing back office applications, announced today that it has acquired Vana Workforce, a global human capital software provider and maker of a leading HR application on the Salesforce Platform. The acquisition represents a significant step in FinancialForce.com's vision to revolutionize the back office by eliminating barriers inside and outside an organization. The new app, FinancialForce HCM, is available immediately and is already working with FinancialForce.com applications at several companies. The company also announced today that it has acquired the business and assets of Less Software including the firm's Supply Chain Management (SCM) solutions.
Vana Workforce, to be re-branded as FinancialForce Human Capital Management (HCM), provides integrated HRMS, talent management and recruitment capabilities, allowing a consistent user experience across these solutions. As a native application built on the Salesforce Platform, the new application will be instantly unified with FinancialForce Accounting and FinancialForce Professional Services Automation (PSA), creating a single line of sight across an organization. This will allow true, front to back office visibility and a single user experience across the entire enterprise.
Customers using Salesforce CRM, FinancialForce HCM, FinancialForce Accounting and FinancialForce PSA are able to take advantage of cross-departmental reporting, analytics, workflow and collaborative capabilities including Salesforce Chatter. This unified and social working environment, along with the inherent mobile capabilities, is critical to the adoption of self-service HCM applications that touch every employee in a company.
Known to be user-friendly and easily deployable, Vana Workforce is also easily extensible and customizable. Combined with FinancialForce.com's existing back office applications, FinancialForce HCM can nimbly serve the needs of small to mid-sized businesses while also meeting the cross-departmental and complex integration demands of global enterprises. Together, FinancialForce.com provides back office cloud solutions that are optimized for social collaboration, mobility and front to back office visibility.
"With the acquisition of Vana Workforce and the launch of FinancialForce HCM, we are once again demonstrating that the time to remove barriers between departments is now," said Jeremy Roche, president and CEO at FinancialForce.com. "Providing front to back office visibility has always been our priority because it allows our customers to make smarter and more cohesive business decisions. Now, we are able to extend that promise further with HCM to help companies manage their most important asset – human talent."
"Vana Workforce and FinancialForce.com have always shared the same goal—to unlock the power of the cloud, social and mobile capabilities in order to engage employees and gain real-time insight for our customers," said David Vanheukelom, co-founder and CEO at Vana Workforce, and newly appointed HCM General Manager at FinancialForce.com. "I am very pleased that Vana customers can now further extend that intelligence across the back office with FinancialForce.com, without changing UI or platform, and am excited about our shared vision for HCM innovation."
"This acquisition underscores our belief that people are the most important driver of growth," said Roche. "This application will enable our customers to invest in their people in modern way, which ultimately will help grow both their top and bottom lines."
FinancialForce HCM is available today on the AppExchange and can be continued to use as a standalone solution or used with any other FinancialForce.com application. For more information, please go to: financialforce.com

Califon United Methodist Church presents the story of the birth of Jesus as a Live Nativity production. It is the kind of production that memories are made of.
Children and adults participate as the holy family, angels, shepherds and magi. This year, Real animals join the production. A donkey or small horse escorts Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. Bleating sheep and goats follow shepherds to the fields. Sometimes an alpaca plays the part of the camel when the three wise men travel to visit the new-born King. And it all happens indoors in the church in mid-December!
Every year, the production is different, utilizing the talents and suggestions of our members. Children sing, dance, sign (in American Sign Language), or play the bells to old and new Christmas songs. Some cast members may have lines, while others may not, but all have period costumes. Not all roles are played by children. Adults and teens can play Mary and Joseph, the magi, angels, and shepherds.

March 12, 2013 – A literacy initiative, founded by a Georgetown student and supported by numerous university departments and the surrounding community, will provide books to underserved children in Washington, D.C., for the second time this year.
The Bring on the Books drive, created by Sohayle Sizar (C'14), will provide new or gently used books for children up to age 15 in any language.
The drive began in February and runs through April 5.
Last year the drive collected 3,300 books, 2,300 more than the 2012 goal. This year's goal has been raised to 3,500, but Sizar hopes that number will be exceeded.
Community Partners
This year partners include the White House Office of Correspondence, PNC Bank in Georgetown, the Burleith Citizen's Association, the Washington International School, the Latin American Initiative at the Brookings Institute, Friends of Georgetown Library, British School of Washington, Hyde-Addison Elementary School, Ritz Carlton and Deloitte's Rosslyn, Va., office.
"Georgetown's Bring on the Books Drive unites institutions, organizations and individuals in the belief that all children deserve the opportunity to have a book to read," Sizar says. "But this belief begins within the community and starts with bringing our neighbors together."
"That's why this year the Bring on the Books drive is reaching out to individuals and organizations in D.C. to collect books for D.C. youth," he adds. "My goal is to put more books in the hands of children in D.C. schools."
Core Commitments
"Every child deserves to experience the friendship of a book," says Provost Robert Groves. "It is this relationship that changes lives, that inspires and invigorates children from all types of backgrounds."
Groves says Bring on the Books "believes in this friendship," and is for the many children who will receive books from the drive.
"Faith, service and the promotion of literacy – this project wonderfully fulfills Georgetown's core commitments to interfaith dialogue, service to others, and education of the whole person," says Melody Fox Ahmed, the Berkley Center's assistant director for programs and operations. "With Bring on the Books, Sohayle makes the important connection that the promotion of knowledge and service to others are two shared callings that are vitally important across the world's great faith traditions."
Richard Roe, a Georgetown law professor, uses some of the books for his Literacy and Law course, which includes students conducting literacy activities at least an hour every week.
"This year, our students tutored at Jubilee Jumpstart, an early learning center in Adams Morgan for mostly Hispanic children under age 4," says Roe, who directs the Law Center's D.C. Street Law Program, "and the Latin American Montessori Bilingual Public Charter School (LAMB)."
Donation Spots
Georgetown students, faculty and staff can donate books in bins located in Lauinger's Midnight Mug and the Georgetown Bookstore, in two campus coffee shops – Uncommon Grounds in the Leavey Center and the Intercultural Center's More Uncommon Grounds (MUG) – as well as Saxby's on O Street.
Books may also be mailed to: 1608 Leavey Center, Georgetown University, Washington, DC 20057.

Lee: The Lee Marvin Anthology
Lee-The Lee Marvin Anthology
Crime Factory Publications
Pub date: March 3rd, 2013
Lee Marvin looms large. Lee Marvin was no John Wayne or Clint Eastwood. Lee Marvin was different. There is a scene in the film he did with Charles Bronson called Death Hunt. This scene doesn't appear in every print of the movie but I know it's out there. Marvin is pulling guns out of a trunk. He grabs a pump shotgun and he works the action on it. Between the expression on his face and the natural way he handled the weapon, to me, this scene perfectly shows why Marvin was different from the rest. If you have seen what I'm talking about or can at least picture what I describe, you know.
Lee is an anthology of fiction inspired by the life of Lee Marvin. It contains stories by Scott Phillips, Heath Lowrance, Johnny Shaw, Ray Banks, Jake Hinkson and Andrew Nette, among others. The stories are are set in chronological order beginning with Hospital Ship by Adrian McKinty. Set in 1944, it's about Marvin laying wounded on a hospital ship in the Pacific. Jake Hinkson's Out on the 101 is a noir tale set in 1954. Heath Lowrance's 1961 set The Man Who Shot the Duke is about an event that could have happened on the set of Liberty Valance. Cameron Ashley's 1966 set Just Swell is about Oscar night debauchery. A quest for a bigger gun in the film Point Blank leads to mayhem in 1967 Mexico as written by Eric Beetner. Did you know Lee Marvin almost played Quint in Jaws??? Down Mexico Way set in 1972 talks about just that.
In my eyes, anthologies are hit or miss affairs. Very few are solid all the way through. When you have one with a premise such as this one, the bar is set high. I loved it. It was original. In some of the stories you can actually hear Marvin's voice. I was thoroughly surprised with how good this collection was. I highly recommend it. The downside is that if you're not a big Lee Marvin fan, you may not be into this collection. Most of the stories are set around his films so if you know the films, you will find yourself smiling while thinking this could have happened. This is not a crime collection so others will be put off by that fact alone while reading. These are stories of drinking, fighting, and fucking. I can only wonder what Lee Marvin would make of this collection

21C Org Design
How would conceive the design of a 21C organization based on the new realities of our highly dynamic, connected and participative world? Or, as Jon Husband puts it so eloquently in his definition of "Wirearchy", how would you create "a dynamic two-way flow of power and authority, based on knowledge, trust, credibility and a focus on results, enabled by interconnected people and technology". This is what we came up with.
The first step was a conceptual capture of "spaces" that make up the "whole" of the organization (they contain everything that is part of it) – for Sceenius this was the Experience Space (where our expeditions take place), the Production Studio (where the magic is created) and the Business Lounge (where we anticipate new magic and new relationships). You can further break spaces down into subspaces and begin to approximate it with people (or roles) that will work closely within these spaces.
The next step is to create a structure around these spaces. The obvious one here is a holonic structure, although the conceptual space is more akin to overlapping Venn diagrams (which helps to see overlapping roles). But it's close enough, so that we can begin formulating what is part of the structure and what is not. We used Nestr (http://nestr.io) for this exercise and for now it provides a raw shell which we will begin to populate with people, roles and tasks over time. The structure reminded me of the Recursive Structure that I posted about in 2013 [1], maybe it will come close to it.
The bottom layer is tactical, this is where all the action takes place from inside the previously defined spaces and holonic structure. We are using Ryver (http://ryver.com) to provide us with a work chat/activity stream that maps nicely to the previous spaces and subspaces. Don't create too many channels (or forums in Ryver's tool) as this tends to fragment your activity and posts cannot be followed easily. Instead, use a single stream that is categorized into the main spaces and refined using an evolving folksonomy (using #tags).

Web Safe 2k16 is a unique web experiment: "a literary/graphic project exploring our memories of the pre-broadband Internet." The website's design concept is driven by the 216 colors in the "web safe" palette used in websites from the 1980's to the early 2000's, colors suited for viewing the web on VGA monitors with limited color ranges.
Each color was assigned to, or selected by, a contributor who used it as a writing prompt to craft a 216 word essay sparked by the thoughts that color evoked. Often this brought forth a memory crystallized in the early-Internet era that the popularity of the web safe color palette serves as a frame for. But the essays run the gamut - from clear to abstract, from concise meditations to manic prose-poems typed in all-caps.
The project was directed by a trio: conceptualized by Brooklyn artist Ben Sisto (who took the universal web gray, #cccccc), edited by writer Josephine Livingstone (whose color-meditation on #00CC66, a muted green, is beautiful), and developed by writer / coder Joe Bernardi (who opted for the grape-purple #CC6699, and sometimes writes cool think-pieces about videogames).
The 216 contributors are an eclectic who's-who of artists, technologists, educators, writers, and others engaged in new media, mostly based in New York City.
The more well-known contributors include New York Times tech and culture writer Jenna Wortham, who took a bright shade of pink, #FF3366, and paired it with a reminiscence on Black Planet, a now-defunct MySpace-era social network.
Adrian Chen, The New Yorker writer known for his probings of the darker corners of cyberculture (example here), picked #33CC00. The vibrant green moved him to recall "Attack, Retrieve, Capture," a 2D space battle videogame he'd played a lot in the mid-90's.
Browsing the site, arresting snippets jumped out at me from artists taking the colors in deeply personal directions, or on the other hand, panning out to try and say something era-defining about that period of the Internet.
"There are two persistent and coexistent metaphors for the Internet: the cloud and the cave," wrote Allen Riley, new media artist and a teacher at Brooklyn's Beam Center, in his response to #33CC66.
Yesenia Padilla's take on #CCCC66 is a potent recollection of the effort to create a virtual avatar whose skin color matches hers, only to find that color variation on other monitors render it a sickly green.
Web Safe 2k16 is a high-concept nostalgia trip to a place that doesn't exist anymore, like a walk through a city that has been radically changed - buildings demolished, new ones erected. If the Internet is a city, it's a city with cranes that never stop swinging, a skyline in constant flux. A city we're still trying to find ourselves in.

I really like silhouette paintings, pictures, cut-outs, any kind! When I was about 8, My mom and I went to Tennessee where we had our silhouettes cut out of paper while we sat in a chair and I thought that was just the neatest thing! I had these two small canvases left over from another project I did for one of my co-workers and I wanted to do something with my puppies on them. I thought it would be neat to somehow have a silhouette of them, but I had to figure out how to get one. I originally thought I should find one of their pictures and cut it out, but I didn't have a really good one. Then, I just googled it, and BAM, perfect Lab and Chihuahua silhouettes to use!
I printed these out on some card stock printer paper (I have a TON left over from out wedding I'm trying to find things to do with lol) and cut them out. Then I just taped them to the middle of the canvases and painted around them, including on top of the edges of the cut outs. After the paint dried, I peeled them off and had to touch up just a little with some white paint where it tried to bleed underneath.
I love them! I hung them with our [sort of] engagement pictures over the couch. Everybody loves them, next time I'll get a little more wild on the color!

This little Celestite Cluster is pure intergrown crystals without the normal matrix base. It is more unusual to find only the crystal mass by itself without the base but this one's crystals have grown so tightly packed, that it doesn't need a base to hold them together.
It is darker and denser than I usually find in Celestite, and it isn't even the cluster-type I'm normally attracted to, but yet there is just something about it that is hard to NOT like, and I tried to capture all the angles in the photos.
Celestite is an angelic-like energy crystal–usually very high-frequency and delicate. It is one of my favorites. This is not delicate, but it is high-frequency, so my take on this would be warrior-angel type, more like "ArchAngel Michael" frequency to this small cluster. It's a little no-nonsense, power-pack that makes no claims to delicacy, but gets the job done–period. It definitely has an interesting feel to it.
Someone out there is meant to have this little "Celestite with attitude." Only you know who you are.

Building custom operating system images is a lot of fun. I enjoy the challenge that it presents and the frustration of working out the small issues. The past few days have presented me with a rather interisting problem that even relentless searching on Google couldn't resolve. I found out today that Windows 7 can only have sysprep run against it a total of three times before odd things start to happen. Maybe this was common knowledge to some system admins but it sure is hard to find documented proof of this.
In my case it was an administrator account that wouldn't auto logon to finish the deployment. The account was left as disabled even though the unattend.xml file clearly was setup to enable the administrator account. It took a support call to Microsoft and a good long conversation with one of their engineers before we came to this conclusion.
So what is the proper way to create, capture, deploy, update, capture, etc…?
According to the Microsoft engineer I was working with they recommend building your image in a virtual environment and using the snapshot feature before running sysprep against Windows. When you need to go back and update the image later on you can restore to that snapshot, make your changes and take a new snapshot before syspreping and capturing again. This will always keep your rearm count down and you won't have to worry about any of the strange issues associated with it.
SO, I get to start that project over again now but at least I've learned something new and hopefully I can setup a process that will perform better in the end.
PS: I am aware that there are other ways to get around the rearm count issue, such as setting the SkipRearm parameter to 1 in the unattend.xml file. These methods work but they still are not recommended by Microsoft.

Hempstead Town Supervisor Anthony J. Santino and the Town Board proudly passed legislation in April that would raise the purchase age for tobacco from 18 to 21 in Hempstead Town. That new legislation has been filed with New York State, as required by law. Now, Hempstead Town wants to ensure that tobacco retailers have proper signage at their businesses to alert consumers of the measure.
"We want to make it abundantly clear that in Hempstead Town you must be 21 years of age in order to purchase tobacco products," said Supervisor Santino.
Under the new legislation, businesses selling tobacco products must clearly post signs indicating that the sale of those items to persons under 21 years of age is prohibited by law. If in violation of the law, a business or other establishment that sells tobacco to a person under the minimum age would be subject to penalties under New York State Public Health Law 1399. The law provides for fines of up to $1,500 and potentially the revocation of a license to sell tobacco products.
Retailers can obtain the signage that should be placed in any location in Hempstead Town where tobacco products are sold by visiting www.toh.li and printing out the 11 by 8.5 inch sign. The sign may also be accessed here.
At the Town Board hearing on the subject, a representative of the American Lung Association noted, "If a youth reaches the age of 21 without smoking, the chance of them ever doing so plummets to 2 percent."
In addition to cigarettes, the Town law takes aim at other unhealthy alternatives to cigarettes that contain harmful toxins, including cigars, chewing and powdered tobacco, liquid nicotine, shisha, bidis, gutka, herbal cigarettes, rolling papers, other smoking paraphernalia and electronic cigarettes. According to findings released by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, e-cigarette use by teenagers tripled nationwide between 2013 and 2014 and increased nearly 10 times for high schoolers between 2011 and 2015.
"There is clear cut evidence that raising the age for tobacco sales will slash the smoking rate significantly and reduce the number of smoking-related deaths," Santino said. "I am committed to protecting young people, and passing legislation that raises the age for tobacco sales helps achieve that goal."

Technical Assistance Panels
Public agencies, private firms, and nonprofit organizations facing complex land use and real estate issues in the greater Los Angeles region can get expert and objective advice with the help of TAPs —Technical Assistance Panels — offered by the ULI Los Angeles District Council. A TAP can save immeasurable research, time and costs.
TAPs can provide a variety of services including, but not limited to:
- Evaluating specific development and land proposals or issues
- Assessing overall development strategy and business planning for public agencies
- Developing criteria for evaluating development proposals
- Evaluating growth issues including economics and management
- Analyzing reuse potentials of existing properties
- Identifying key economic and land use issues relating to public/private land use situations
TAPs are a one to two day session in which a local government, non-profit organization, or private firm asks the Los Angeles District Council to provide access to expertise on a specific land use issue that they may not be able to obtain through any other means. The sponsoring organization develops three or four well-defined questions that it would like the panel to address and the scope of the assignment is such that the panel can adequately address the issues in the one-day session. The district council brings together a knowledgeable and diverse panel according to the unique needs of the organization. Prior to the panel convening, the sponsor prepares and distributes briefing materials to the panelists.
To take advantage of this resource, contact Technical Assistance Panel Chairs, Ryan Altoon and Andrew Fogg.
If you are a ULI member, and would like to inquire about serving as an expert panelists, please email your biography to Cyrice Griffith.

Conquest Abroad and Repression at Home
By Christopher Carrico
"Civilization originates" Stanley Diamond tells us, "with conquest abroad and repression at home." Diamond himself had seen both firsthand. Stanley was a WWII veteran who served in North Africa, and, like many American men of his generation, went to University on the G.I. Bill. He completed his PhD in cultural anthropology at Columbia University in 1951. His dissertation, Dahomey: A Proto-State in West Africa, was based mainly on historical research, and dealt with aspects of state-formation in West Africa during the era of the transatlantic slave trade. Along with Eric Wolf and Sidney Mintz, Diamond was part of a left-wing student cohort at Columbia who had studied under Julian Steward and Ruth Benedict, and who later came to be among the principal architects of North American Marxist anthropology during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
While his dissertation earned him an immediate reputation for being one of the brightest rising stars on the scene in American anthropology, the quality of his work and his reputation were not enough to earn him a secure place in American academia during the 1950s. Because of his well known left-wing political commitments he was dismissed from his teaching position at UCLA during the McCarthy Era purges and black listings. Unable to find academic work in the US for three years, Diamond spent part of this time in Israel doing ethnographic research in an Israeli kibbutz and in a nearby Bedouin mountain village.
Diamond's best known teaching gig was at the New School for Social Research, where he began working in 1966, and where he founded and chaired the Department of Anthropology. His best known work, In Search of the Primitive: a Critique of Civilization (1974), was a collection of essays that had been written in the turbulent political atmosphere of late 1960s and early 1970s. These essays developed a general theory of state formation, and used anthropology in the service of the critique of the exploitation of capitalist and tributary states, and of their imperialist wars of the present and the past.
Well known for his contributions to humanist anthropology, Stanley Diamond was also the founder of the prestigious journal Dialectical Anthropology, and was an accomplished poet — publishing poetry chapbooks Totems (1982, Barrytown, Ltd.) and Going West (1986, Hermes House Press). The poet Gary Snyder said of him: "Stanley Diamond is an upper-upper Paleolithic intellectual-hunter on the track of the biggest game of all—the State."
Of the entire post-WWII generation of North American Marxist anthropologists, perhaps only Eleanor Leacock's work was more ground breaking. Both Diamond and Leacock were incredibly influential on the theories of state formation emanating from the research of American Marxists such as archaeologist Thomas Patterson and anthropologist Christine Gailey, and the work on primitive communist societies like that of Canadian Marxist anthropologist Richard Lee. I recite the lineage of this "little tradition", written against the grain of the dominant traditions of positivist scientism and post-structuralist obscurantism, not only as a way of honoring my ancestors and my elders to whom I am grateful, but also, to call attention to the nature of intellectual commitment in academia, and its inseparability from commitment to one's concrete politics within the societies and communities where we teach and write, and within the societies and communities where we conduct our research.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, anthropology was still widely thought of as the study of "primitive" societies. Indeed, among many laypersons and academics worldwide, this is still how the field is generally understood. The contrast is of course, is with the "civilized" societies in which sociologists and other social scientists historically worked. Diamond's purpose when he wrote In Search of the Primitive: a Critique of Civilization was to use the modes of production and reproduction that Marx and Engels had called "primitive communist" as sources of critique of the so-called civilized societies. Diamond found in anthropology what Marx found in Hegel, the world presented standing on its head, and Diamond's project was to try to show us the world right-side up.
Diamond's "primitive" was much like Rousseau's, whose ideas Diamond believed Marx and Engels carried to their right philosophical and political conclusions.
On any occasion that I have to talk or write about the pre-state societies, about societies without economic classes, about societies that are kin-based and egalitarian, it is the work like that of Leacock's and Diamond's, and all of the anthropologists who stood with the party of humanity, that have enabled me to be able to talk more clearly about the inhumanity and oppression of state-base, class-stratified societies that like to think of themselves as being civilized.
Civilization, indeed, began with conquest abroad and repression at home. And, of course, its ongoing reproduction is still impossible without imperialist wars and domestic exploitation, repression and discipline.
Civilization originates with conquest abroad and repression at home.
I sat and reflected on these words from Stanley Diamond on the day of November 13, 2010, as the Black is Back Coalition marched on Washington to demand an end to U.S. imperialist wars. Anthropological studies such as Stanley Diamond's dissertation, Tom Patterson's Inca Empire and Christine Gailey's Kinship to Kingship help us to understand that the processes of class exploitation at home, and aggressive wars of conquest have been characteristics of state based and class stratified societies since their origin. These are not separable processes, but rather, interrelated aspects of a continuum of the violent and coercive process of the extraction of surplus value in both tributary and capitalist state-based societies. Patterson does an excellent job of emphasizing the fact that, since their inception, class stratified societies have used conquest and imperial expansion as one the main ways of attempting to resolve the contradictions that are inherent in the reproduction of all class stratified societies. When the crises inherent in state-based societies reach their more advanced stages, the intensification of exploitation at home, the escalation of repression of dissent and resistance at home, and the escalation of wars of conquest that bring ever wider areas of territory under a regime of tribute taking or of capitalist exploitation under the control of imperial elites, are part of a single inseparable process. As the U.S. Civil Rights movement progressed from the demands for reform in the 1950s, to the more radical demands of the 1960s, one of the characteristics of this movement that made it such a threat to the American status quo, was increasing recognition that the fight against exploitation of poor people and people of color in the United States was the same struggle and the same fight as that of the movement against the war in Vietnam, and its subsequent regional expansion into a war in Laos and Cambodia. Leaders like Martin Luther King, whose original goals were reform-oriented and moderate, came to be ever more conscious that "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." It is for this reason that the violent suppression of domestic dissent embodied in programs such as the FBI's COUNTERINTELPRO, aimed particularly at the destruction of the African American Civil Rights movement and at the American Indian Movement, intensified as these movements more strongly aligned themselves with the movement against the Vietnam War. Movements today, such as the Black is Back movement in the U.S. are at the vanguard of the movement to resist attempts to co-opt Black America, and American liberals and leftists, into unconditional support for the America's first Black President (however exploitative, violent, aggressive, and repressive the domestic and foreign policies of the Obama administration have turned out to be.)
Neo-liberalism, Chemical Warfare, and the Rape of the World by Finance Capital.
In some ways, as vile as the programs of repression and assassination of the 1960s were, they by no means reached the scale and intensity of the destruction that has been inflicted upon the Third World and on poor and working class peoples of the U.S. and other advanced capitalist nations during the years since roughly 1980. While an elite comprador class has thrived in parts of the Third World, this capitalist success has come at the price of the immiseration of millions of poor and working class people, and a regime of thinly disguised genocide by economic and by military means. Simultaneously, the United States has experienced over three decades of stagnating and declining wages of its working class, and the mass incarceration of its underclass. The U.S., supposedly the world's protector of freedom and equality, has now long had, by far, the highest incarceration rate per capita of any country in the world. The overwhelming majority of these prisoners are non-violent drug offenders, from communities that were deliberately flooded with heroin and crack cocaine by the CIA, the DEA, who worked in collusion with international drug cartels as a way to fund right-wing paramilitary forces and dictatorships in the Third World, as well as a way of destroying historically oppressed peoples living in the internal colonies of the capitalist metropole. The defeat of national liberation movements, and anti-imperialist insurgency in the world's poorest countries was intimately connected to the everyday warfare that was taking place on the streets of America's poor communities. The warfare at home took the form of systematic police brutality, mass incarceration, and mass murder by means of the deliberate spread of drug addiction and gun violence, and the deliberate failure to take any rational measures to prevent the factors involved in the spread of HIV/AIDS in America' most vulnerable communities.
These processes are well known in America's Black and other oppressed minority communities, even while middle class America lives in deep denial and willful ignorance.
The New Danger
Shortly before 911, and the Bush administration's subsequent wars of aggression in Afghanistan and Iraq, rapper Mos Def wrote a song that seems prophetic in retrospect. The song, entitled "War", would later appear on his studio album The New Danger. The ideas expressed in this song show a clear and conscious awareness of the intimate connection between repression at home and conquest abroad, that Stanley Diamond, in a very different way but in the same spirit, was trying to express since the time of his now obscure and relatively forgotten dissertation defended at Columbia University in 1951. Here is what Mos Def had to say about conquest abroad and repression at home:
Palestine, Kosovo, Kashmir
It's no different than the avenue that's right here
An increase in the murder rate each year
Paramilitary unit keep the streets clear
Curtains up on the theater of warfare
Dramatic politics nightly performed here
Worldwide from Colombia to Columbine
Gun holders keep the dollar signs on the line

Reviewed by Jason Zingale
wenty years ago, Mel Brooks had no problem convincing us of his comedic genius, though I'm not so sure you can say the same thing for him today. After his last film ("Dracula: Dead and Loving It") sucked it up real good at the box office, the veteran writer/director disappeared from the public eye, and regrettably, so did the memory of most of his films. Cult classics like "The Producers," "Spaceballs" and "Young Frankenstein" (two of which don't even appear in this set) continue to be discussed today, but what of Brooks' other films? Both "Blazing Saddles" and "History of the World, Part I" witnessed a small renaissance in the early 90's after the release of "Robin Hood: Men in Tights," but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who's seen either of these films more recently. This isn't to say that Brooks enthusiasts no longer exist, but it's just that they've been waiting far too long for several films to be released on DVD, and now that they finally have, it's quite the unexpected disappointment.
And therein lies the problem behind "The Mel Brooks Collection." Apart from the films being released on DVD (five of which are appearing on disc for the first time), there's nothing supplemental to the movies that would cause a stir amongst fans. Eight films in all, including the previously released "Young Frankenstein," "Blazing Saddles" (not even the 30th Anniversary Edition), and "History of the World, Part I," the box set also includes the following: "The Twelve Chairs" (1970), "Silent Movie" (1976), "High Anxiety" (1977), "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" (1994), and the non-Brooks-directed WWII comedy "To Be or Not to Be" (1984). After hearing these selections, many would be quick to ask: "but what about two of Brooks' best-known works 'The Producers' and 'Spaceballs'?" Sadly, they're not here, and though 20th Century Fox was able to secure the rights for "Blazing Saddles" (a Warner Bros. property), they were unable to include the two MGM films in this collection.
Even worse, of the eight films that appear in the set, only four actually contain some sort of bonus feature, with the supplemental material for both "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein" previously made available in their respective single-disc releases. The only new material on the set is in the form of a three-minute making-of featurette on "To Be of Not to Be" and a twenty four-minute HBO special ("The Legend Had It Coming") on the "Men in Tights" disc. Truth be told, this isn't particularly good news for fans who already own most of these movies, and while it's nice to finally have them made available on DVD format (by far the most important being "Robin Hood: Men in Tights"), it's simply not worth spending seventy bucks for. And why should you listen to me? Because, unlike some other film critics, I can type with an English accent.

How to Read Painting : a short survey of Western European Painting, has now sold in excess of 50,000 copies. To mark the publication of the book by Bloomsbury in October 2014, Rideal gave a Lunch Hour Lecture at UCL (live streamed and available online) and lectured at the The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge and The Wallace Collection, London: works from these collections feature in the book. It has been translated into Chinese, Spanish, Turkish, Korean, Polish and Russian. Published by Rizzoli, USA (April 2015), her launch lecture at the Nelson-Atkins Museum, Kansas City, introduced the concepts behind the publication and linked these to their 1869, Raphaelle Peale painting, explaining how his drapery relates to her own art production, she gained an Art Fund grant for her USA research and travel. Rideal's strands of research inter-connect and are explored through lecturing, exhibiting and writing about visual art. FREEFALL, her fifth solo show in the USA was held at Gallery 339, Philadelphia in October 2014. The University of Massachusetts held a retrospective of her work in 2001 and she had three solo shows at Lucas Schoormans Gallery, New York, in 2000/01/06.
Drapery and portraiture are important research themes. In Philadelphia, Cloth Cascades, was projected by night onto an adjacent gallery wall. Rideal showed MOI NON PLUS, her film revealing the importance of narratives that can suggest meanings locked within dumb textiles at the Erotic Cloth colloquium, University for the Creative Arts, London (20/03/15), her paper Erotic Cloth Echoes in Film is published by Bloomsbury Academic 16/02/2018. This work was rooted in a previous commission for the exhibition Cotton: Global Threads at The Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester University (2012). A British Academy Grant enabled her to film the cotton industry in India.
The essay, Golden Years?1905-1950: a non-digital world, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (2012) continued research previously realised in her books - Insights: Self-portraits, (The National Portrait Gallery, 2005) and Mirror/Mirror: Self-portraits by Women Artists (NPG & Watson-Guptill, N Y. 2001). Rideal is co-author with Kathleen Soriano of Madam and Eve, published by Laurence King, 16/04/2018.
Rideal's work was included in History of Photography: Series and Sequences, at The Victoria and Albert Museum, alongside images by Muybridge and Fenton, February-September 2015. Her work was acquired by The Portland Art Museum, Oregon, The Whitworth Art Gallery (2014), New Hall, Cambridge (2016) and the British Academy (2017) it can now be found in over 20 public Collections including, Tate, The Yale Center for British Art, George Eastman Museum, University California Museum at Berkeley, USA and The Museet for Fotokunst, Denmark.
At the Slade School of Fine Art (UCL) I have contributed to teaching, supervision, curriculum development and assessment.
My paper, Exposing the self and juggling the uniform, was the keynote lecture at the conference Autoportraits en costumes, at the University of Nantes and the Beaux Arts de Nantes, 23-24/11/18. Straw Poll was a paper delivered at the ON PAINTING conference in Manchester at the Whitworth Art Gallery on 31/11/15.
My essay for the catalogue Straw Camera, was published in connection with the exhibition, Fishing for the Moon celebrating the work of Michael Farrell, who worked at the Slade from 2003 - 2015. This was part of the Photo Club Salon, showing photographs by staff and students at the Slade School of Fine Art.
My Slade Summer School courses, Collage (2015) and Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal! (2016, 17, 18, 19) focus on making connections between drawing in the studio and drawing in museums and art galleries. I continue to involve myself with UCL public engagement, including the Slade Salon and at the Bloomsbury Festival of Light, I was part of a panel with Berry Chevasco discussing, Light in Art, Literature and Architecture.
