The Green Kingfisher is, most days, my most favorite bird. It is so improbable. Not much bigger than a sparrow, with that massive beak, and that intense green. The rust breast on the male just adds to the beauty of the bird.
It has not been an easy bird for me to photograph. They only live right down along the Mexican border, and I only get down that way once, or twice at most, a year. They are common there, meaning that they occur at least in small numbers where there is appropriate habitat, and are regularly seen…but seeing one and getting close enough for a good shot are two different things.
This is a small bird. Worse, the feature structure, typical of a diving bird, is very fine (waterproof tight) so that getting real detail means you have to be very, very close and have very, very good light.
All of which is to say that this is one of my best shots of a male Green Kingfisher to date. I like the greens. I like the pose. I would have liked, even using what amounts to a 1600mm lens, to have been closer.
Zeiss PhotoScope 85FL at 40x (as above, about equivalent in field of view to a 1600mm lens on a full frame DSLR). 1/80th sec. @ ISO 100. Metered at about f5.6.
In Lightroom, I moved the Blackpoint considerably right, added Clarity and Vibrance (a little), and used the Sharpen Landscapes preset.

1950s skull ring, ads, Captain Science, eternium, Lucky Pirate Ring, lucky skull ring, lucky skull ring history, lucky skull ring paintings, lucky skull ring photos, skull ring
In October 2011, we ran a 1950 ad for the Lucky Skull Ring – made of Genuine Eternium! A reader believes he has one of the original Lucky Skull Rings – minus the jeweled eyes. He sent us this photograph (below.) He would like more information on the secret origin of the Lucky Skull Ring. Visit our Contact Page and drop us a line if you have stories, ads, anecdotes, or photos of your own Lucky Skull Ring to share with us.
Our reader had this to say about his historic ring:
"When my dad was in high school in the late 1940's, he worked a summer at the community pool. When the pool was drained for the winter, my dad found this ring. He told me he thinks that it used to have "jewels" in the eyes. He gave it to me about 30 years ago. I wore it for a while and then put it away. I was looking through an old jewelry box the other day and came across the ring. Out of curiosity, I started doing web searches for skull rings and came across the old ad on your website.
The ring is just as shiny as the day my dad gave it to me 30 years ago and probably the same as the day he found it. So that "Eternium" stuff must be really tough :-). I suspect it's stainless steel, because it is not magnetic and it's fairly heavy (3/8 oz. or 13 grams.)"
2016 Update: The legend of the Lucky Skull Ring lives on! Kurt Spitzner of CinchSet kindly sent us a photo of "a real live kid sporting just such a ring." The image below features a young actor in a 1955 Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse Club serial called The Adventures of Spin and Marty. Visit Kurt's historical archives to find out more about this series!
Below, you can see the complete original ad page from Captain Science #1, 1950. It displays the name and mailing address of the company selling the Lucky Skull Ring and also the Lucky Pirate Ring: the cryptic "Montrose Co," sporting a New York address with no zip code. Curious! Maybe that is a clue for you astute researchers of Lucky Skull Ring lore!
The legend of the Lucky Skull Ring continues to sweep the globe in this painting sent to us by reader Matt Eddmenson. Check out his website and get hip to him on Instagram to see even more art inspired by The Lucky Skull Ring!

Importance Of Seal Coating.
Sealcoating is putting a layer of protection against to asphalt to pavements or even roads to guard against potential damages by oil or even rainwater. Before application of the seal coat layer, ensure that the surface is clean to enhance sticking together of the blend. This article will be explaining the benefits of using this layer to asphalt pavements.
Soft surfaces are easily washed away by water or sometimes if they contain elements that are reactive, they can easily react with water to form a compound. In similar manner, the oil contains materials like carbon or hydrogen that are very reactive and hence can corrode easily some soft surfaces. Hence, we can say that, if the elements are not well that is water and oil, they bring a lot of destruction to our surfaces, more than they help us.
Improves the ability to negate changes of the asphalt surfaces. This means that it helps hide crevices on the pavements and even helps the parking line look visible. We therefore conclude that, the surface is in a position to resist corrosion caused by these two surfaces.
Improves against the harm the sun rays. The UV rays help in deepening the cracks and thus making the surface very susceptible to corrosion. This means that it is very possible for the surface to go bad very quickly with the help of the rays from the sun. The rays are harmful in that the help in widening the cracks.
Act as water proof. The coat cannot be able to allow water particles to pass through the pores or the materials. The coats particles are closely knit together such that they cannot allow water particles to go through.
Protection against the carbonic acid rain. Pollution of the atmosphere is in such a manner that we have a lot of carbon (iv) oxide being released into the atmosphere that later falls in the form of carbonic rain that causes corrosion. The acidic rain penetration is hindered by the presence of the seal coat.
The coating smoothens the surface such that the debris are washed quickly by rainwater or something like that. The debris brought when it rains are washed away easily by rainwater and also it is easy to sweep such a surface.
Reduces the maintenance cost of the pavement since the rate of corrosion is greatly reduced. This is so practical especially in areas that receive heavy downpour throughout the year or places that are used in packaging oils or other chemical substances.

YUBA COUNTY — Yuba County Sheriff's Detectives have arrested three suspects in connection to the deadly shooting on Highway 70.
On May 22, Alejandro Escobar, a 36-year-old father, was killed while riding in the backseat of his nephew's car.
A second passenger was also injured and has since been released from the hospital.
Detectives were able to identify the suspect vehicle — a gold Nissan — using security footage from over two dozen businesses across Yuba, Sutter and Butte counties.
Thursday, authorities arrested two parolees, 20-year-old Avery Sanchez of Sacramento and 21-year-old Vivion Wallace, after serving a search warrant at a home in Linda.
Both Sanchez and Wallace were charged with murder.
A third suspect, 19-year-old Juan Antonio Barajas, was identified as the driver of the suspects' vehicle.
Barajas was located and arrested in Citrus Heights. He was charged with accessory.
All three suspects have been booked into the Yuba County Jail.
Investigators said the motive for the shooting is still unknown and they do not believe the victims knew the suspects.

Dental Implants: The Good and the Bad
Gaps or holes in your smile caused by missing teeth can cause embarrassment and difficulty eating or speaking. Dental implants have been developed as a reliable and natural method of tooth replacement. It involves implanting an artificial root into the jaw so that it ultimately becomes part of your jawbone, and placing a crown on top to create a new tooth. The procedure has become very popular, but as with most things there are both good and bad qualities about the treatment. Consider these pros and cons as you make your decision whether implants are right for you.
- Look, feel, and function like real teeth
- Do not slip, even during eating and speaking
- No embarrassing sounds or messy pastes
- Don't affect neighboring teeth
- Titanium material allows normal biting force
- Permanent restoration
- Restore confidence and youthful look
- Risks exist as with any surgery
- Pain, bruising, or swelling can occur at implant site
- Temporary bruising or swelling can occur to face and gums
- Damage to adjacent nerves may result in pain or numbness in the area
- Infections sometimes occur
- Requires several dental visits to complete the process

Oral Health Concerns for Middle Aged Folks
As we age, our birthdays tend to bring new oral health issues along with them. It's a fact of life that our teeth and gums are impacted by our age. Here are some common problems to watch for, and suggestions for treatment.
Gum disease
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are vital to avoid gum disease. The first stage is called gingivitis and it's reversible. If untreated, it can lead to a very serious advanced stage called periodontitis. You may not experience signs of gum disease, so practicing good oral hygiene and seeing your dentist are the best ways to keep it at bay.
Tooth sensitivity
If cold or hot foods cause you discomfort, you have a common problem called tooth sensitivity. It can result from decay, worn fillings, gum disease, broken teeth, or exposed roots. Your dentist may recommend toothpastes designed to reduce sensitivity, or other treatments based on the cause of your problem. Good oral hygiene can help with sensitivity also.
Missing teeth
If you are missing any teeth, it not only looks unappealing but it can also affect your ability to eat and speak. Your other teeth may move, and bone loss can occur. Discuss treatment options with your dentist because you might be able to restore your smile. Bridges, implants, and dentures are a few of the dental advances that might help.
Dry mouth
Medicines and some health conditions often cause your mouth to be overly dry. Having a dry mouth is uncomfortable, but it also can seriously impact your teeth and gums. Without saliva to naturally clean your mouth, the risks of tooth decay and other problems increase. Ask your dentist to look for signs of decay, and to help you identify the cause for your dry mouth. Be sure to tell your dentist about your medical history and medications.
Oral cancer
Oral cancer can include your gums, lips, cheeks, tongue, jaw, throat, or soft palate. It sometimes begins with just a tiny spot or swollen area, so regular dental checkups can help catch this disease early. A variety of treatment options are available, but early detection makes a difference.

Cleaning Your Dental Bridge
Dental work can involve time and expense, so taking good care of your dental bridge is key to keeping it in ideal condition so that you don't have to replace it. Diligent cleaning and care will allow you to enjoy the benefits of your bridge for as long as possible. Here are some tips for cleaning your dental bridge to keep it in tip-top shape.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush at least twice daily, so that both your teeth and the bridge are cleaned. Brush around all sides of the bridge to remove food particles. Your bridge is not immune to plaque buildup and potential decay, so cleaning it as well as your natural teeth is important.
Flossing is especially necessary with a dental bridge. It is recommended that you floss twice daily, usually before brushing. Use a bridge floss threader to clean around and under the bridge. Many dentists recommend using superfloss, which is made of stiff end threaders, spongy parts, and regular parts of floss. The stiff end threaders make it easier to floss under the bridge, while the spongy floss is helpful in cleaning the wider areas. The regular portion of the floss helps remove plaque from the teeth near the dental bridge.
Mouthwash such as Listerine kills germs that your toothbrush may miss, and also reaches areas that other tools can't. Rinse with mouthwash at least once a day.
Visit your dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings. This will ensure that your bridge fits properly and remains in good shape, as well as helping you maintain overall oral health.

Enjoy Modern Replacement Teeth with Dental Implants
You may not realize it, but estimates suggest that 69 percent of adults have lost at least one tooth. While many people think that it's not a big deal, just one missing tooth can compromise your oral health and appearance. Alignment problems, bone degeneration, and additional tooth loss are common issues that occur from missing teeth. Dental implants offer solid replacements for lost teeth.
Constructed from biocompatible titanium, dental implants are small posts inserted in to the gums, functioning as the bases for prosthetic teeth. A skilled surgeon will securely place the implants so that these restorations will withstand the rigors of speaking, eating, and daily living. Implants can replace one or missing teeth as well as serve as the anchor for dentures or bridgework.
For optimal results, you need a full evaluation of your oral health. Your dentist will evaluate your whole mouth to make sure you have sufficient bone structure for the implants. If the doctor has concerns, he or she may suggest a bone graft to solidify the supporting structures.
With dental implants, a trained specialist will surgically place the small posts into your jawbone. After surgery, your mouth will heal and the bone will fuse with the posts to create artificial tooth roots, a process called osseointegration. In three to six months, you dentist will permanently attach prosthetic crowns to the implants, giving you a complete, beautiful smile. Care for the implants as you would your natural teeth, which includes brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist for regular checkups.Read More »

text: Campus City Law Here's what people at Ohio U and in Athens are tweeting about DACA By Marilyn Icsman Posted on September 6, 2017 5 min read 2 1 1,327 See what the Athens community is saying about the Trump administration's plans to end DACA. Ohio University President Duane Nellis recently pledged to fight the Trump administration's recent announcement that it is ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. He said he'll lobby members of Congress in person to protect Ohio U students who are affected by DACA. Here's what people in Athens have to say about the controversial comments by Trump's administration and DACA protections. Some think DACA has to be changed before it's passed by Congress. If #DACA actually had broad, cross-ideological appeal and was good for the nation, Congress would be eager to pass it as a proper law. — Robert Venosa (@robert_venosa) September 4, 2017 DACA as executive action should be "wound down", but Congress should pass an actual statute that does the same/similar. — Jake McCoy (@jakehmccoy) September 5, 2017 But many in the Ohio U and Athens community have spoken out against the announcement. Proud to have my name on this statement denouncing the Trump Admin's #DACA decision. https://t.co/jgzcRMNSMV — Zach Reizes (@ZachReizes) September 5, 2017 This account does not support trump or any of his actions. I completely stand by the immigrants and their families. #DefendDACA https://t.co/L9BdR2aTOM — Rua Rïna/رينا رؤى (@ruar7na) September 5, 2017 A fun prank to play is to round up millions of people and send them to a country they've never seen with no support. #daca — Barry Hanson (@HansonBarry) September 4, 2017 Others mentioned elected officials and urged them to support DACA. @senrobportman if you don't stand up for #daca, you're what's wrong with this country — Carl Franz (@AthensFranz) September 4, 2017 Gov. John Kasich tweeted his appearance on CBS This Morning, where he opposed the Trump administration's plan to rescind DACA protections. Dreamers didn't choose to come here, but they made the best of it. We should welcome them – Ohio welcomes them. pic.twitter.com/gZKgsnIcgb — John Kasich (@JohnKasich) September 6, 2017 But some stood up for Trump, tweeting their support for his decision. If my lease was up on my house I wouldn't be going around saying boo hoo. Maybe just maybe I'd sign a new lease. How is DACA any different? — Zach Mathews (@XZACHMATHEWSX) September 5, 2017 Thank you trump now maybe American child will have opportunities worth dreaming about — Justin Young (@j2104young) September 5, 2017 One man expressed his doubt that Congress could take on DACA along with other pressing issues. Does @realDonaldTrump actually believe that Congress can address #DACA, #Healthcare, & #TaxReform at the same time? — Buddha Hagman (@Buddha_Ohio) September 4, 2017 And an Ohio U student called out "Beckies" — a slang term used to describe white people who are ignorant or uncaring about racial issues. W/o DACA these kids wouldn't have the support or the funds to go to college at all. Ever. Check your privilege Becky https://t.co/3xcJV0DsaJ — devón (@devbot13_) September 5, 2017

By the time all the items are packed in the box, it is stuffed and must be well taped.
Operation Christmas Child is a wonderful way to spread joy, hope, and love.
My recent days have been more inside than out. I have been cleaning out my Christmas storage closet, trying to decide what decorations to use this year.
Of course, I wait until after Thanksgiving to begin that decorating. So glad the sun is bright today. My mood is better on a clear sunshiny day.
Have a great day!

With an ever-changing technology landscape, even the most seasoned executives tend to be more reactive than proactive about hiring developers. Over the last few years, experts have recommended an agile approach to tech recruiting, which involves adapting based on short feedback cycles. We even made the argument for building tech teams with that approach back in 2015.
At the same time, KPMG and Harvey Nash found that 65% of CIOs still feel that a lack of talent holds back their organization. So how can you strike a balance between adapting to unexpected change and supporting your company through developer hiring?
As part of a process known as strategic workforce planning, talent acquisition leaders seek to align their priorities with the needs of their companies. With just a few months remaining in the year, this is an ideal time to start thinking through this, especially from a tech recruitment standpoint. In this post, we'll explore why it's essential to have a long-term plan in place to maintain and grow your technical staff.
Accenture recently found that over 61% of executives feel that from a talent standpoint, they are not prepared to adapt to a technology-driven world. The key word in that sentence is "prepared." Considering that technology impacts every company and industry, HR executives should anticipate and prepare for any marketplace volatility.
What do we mean by volatility? Let's use data science roles as an example. In 2009, Hal Varian predicted that in the next ten years, the most in-demand jobs would be statisticians. Fast forward to 2018, where we find that IBM projects that the demand for data science professionals will increase 28% by 2020.
Now, think back to your developer hiring priorities just a couple of years ago. How closely were you following the buzz around data science, and how much pressure are you feeling to hire a Data Scientist today? While technical workforce planning won't make it easier to recruit these in-demand developer types, this work will help you build a candidate pipeline before the competition reaches a fever pitch.
A study by ADP found that even though executives agree that strategic workforce planning is essential, there's little consensus over what it actually means. While 36% of respondents said that the primary objective is to retain key people and avoid skills gaps, another 33% believe that the outcome should be to understand and find the talent they need for the future.
Considering that 90% of developers are employed at least part-time, and 34% switched jobs within the last year, it's clear that recruitment and retention should influence your technical workforce planning. The good news is that ADP's survey shows us that HR leaders are free to establish their own outcomes for their long-term planning.
Your company probably has business objectives that it wants to meet over the next few years—and as a result, your workforce strategy should be designed to support it. Meet with engineering managers to review their roadmap for the next few years, which should also be aligned with your company's goals. To guide your conversation, start with the questions below:
Not only will the answers help you understand future hiring priorities, but they also highlight gaps on your recruitment team. For some teams, this might lead to additional recruiting headcount. For others, this might justify increased budgets for sourcing or employer branding tools.

Jaguar Land Rover has announced it needs to find 4,500 redundancies as part of its plan to save £2.5 billion over 18 months. The aim is to reverse its recent slip into loss from a profit the year before.
That's in addition to the 1,500 job cuts announced last year. Most of the redundancies are going to be in the UK, so the company will be losing more than one in 10 of its people here.
Jaguar Land Rover says it's sitting amidst a perfect storm of difficulties, caused by Brexit, trade tensions with the US, a rapidly falling Chinese market, and dropping diesel sales coupled with the costs of certifying to the WLTP standards, and investing in electrification.
This all sounds awful, but it isn't that simple. Other European rivals face most of those headwinds.
While a no-deal Brexit would be uniquely troublesome for JLR, the UK is of course still in the EU today. Similarly, US President Trump's proposed tariffs on cars have yet to materialise.
JLR has done well over the past few years and grown rapidly. Just seven years ago it employed fewer than half the people in Britain than it does now. It has grown its range – Jaguar's E-Pace and F-Pace SUVs, the electric I-Pace, the XE, the Range Rover Velar.
It has also invested in engineering and manufacturing. That includes, sensibly, growing its global footprint by opening plants in Slovakia for the Discovery, in Brazil and China, and getting the I-Pace built by Steyr in Austria.
Even so, JLR is only about a third of the size of BMW or Mercedes, and vastly smaller than the VW conglomerate that shelters Audi. JLR sometimes says that being comparatively small makes it nimble.
Today, on the other hand, it is saying that being small makes it more vulnerable than they are to these headwinds.
But Volvo is also small, and has just had a record year, in the process overtaking Jaguar Land Rover for global sales numbers.
The diesel difficulty is indeed especially pungent for JLR. Many of its critical vehicles are big SUVs where diesel is seen as more or less a given. But it hasn't been as quick to exploit the potential of petrol plug-in hybrids as Volvo and BMW.

The passage of a $689 billion Fiscal Year 2018 National Defense Authorization Act provides more than $273 million to fund improvements and construction projects aboard Base Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point Air Station.
Last year, Camp Lejeune received $49 million and Cherry Point received $12.5 million.
The measure passed the U.S. Senate on a vote of 89 to 8 with three Senators not voting on Monday. Both North Carolina Senators — Thom Tillis, R, and Richard Burr, R — voted in favor of the NDAA.
Tillis applauded the passage which included several key provisions including a 2.1 percent, across-the-board pay raise for soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines plus funding for eight projects aboard Camp Lejeune and a $15.671 million vertical lift fan test facility at Cherry Point in Havelock.
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro and Fort Bragg in Fayetteville will receive funding as well. Seymour Johnson is budgeted for $26.4 million, $6.4 million for KC-46A storage and $20 million for a tanker truck delivery system, while Ft. Bragg will divide $57.778 million between four projects for Special Operations training, administration, maintenance and reliability improvements.
"The Senate passage of the NDAA reaffirms our nation's commitment to supporting the brave men and women in uniform and reestablishes America's commitment to a strong national defense and protecting its interest abroad," Tillis said in a Sept. 18 press relesae.
In addition to the monies slated for North Carolina bases, the bill also includes provisions secured by Tillis that assist veterans who have been exposed to toxic burn pit; requires the Department of Defense to issue a one-time report on significant security risks to the national electric grid vis-à-vis risks on military readiness; modernizing the DoD and VA healthcare collaboration; expand eligibility for TRICARE Reserve Select and TRICARE Retired Reserve which will allow Guardsmen and reservists who are eligible for the Federal Employee health Benefit to purchase TRICARE Reserve Select or TRICARE Retired reserve; and authorizes $27 million to augment military family readiness programs.
Now with the Senate's approval, both houses will take the bill to the conference where any differences will be negotiated before a final version is sent to the White House for President Donald Trump's signature. Tillis expects the Senate and House to work "quickly" and believes it will be signed into law by Trump "shortly after."
The NDAA was established by Congress in 1961 to "authorize aircraft, missiles and naval vessel appropriations," according the Committee on Armed Services website.
Tillis said through a spokesman Wednesday that he "often visits North Carolina's military installations and saw first-hand the need for improvements to the living quarters at Camp Lejeune, so that became a priority for him this year."
Tillis sits on the Veterans' Affairs Committee and the Armed Services Committee where he chairs a subcommittee on Personnel.
Burr's office did not respond by deadline to a request for comment. Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point officials were unavailable for comment by deadline.

Sanjay Jha answered the iPhone. Now he's working on a reply to Apple Inc.'s hot-selling iPad tablet.
Motorola competes to develop rival to Apple's iPad tablet for Verizon
Motorola Inc. is one of three companies, along with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and LG Electronics, vying to supply a tablet device to Verizon Wireless by the end of the year, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam told an industry gathering this month.
Verizon may pick more than one vendor, as it did with smartphones. Winning top billing, especially for the crucial holiday season, is important, as Motorola found out with the Droid smartphone last fall.
"Whoever gets that Verizon spot, it's a critical position," says Rob Enderle, president of San Jose, Calif.-based consulting firm Enderle Group. "Without (Verizon), they won't get the volume to stand out from the crowd."
The long-predicted convergence of computer and cell phone is finally taking off, first with smartphones like the iPhone and now with tablets, which can do more than a phone without the bulk of a laptop computer. Mr. Jha needs to compete in both categories to return Motorola's mobile devices unit to profitability after a spinoff slated for the first quarter of 2011.
"This turnaround won't just come on the basis of cost-cutting," he told Crain's recently. "It will come as a result of our innovating and taking advantage of leading in these converged spaces."
Mr. Jha, CEO of the mobile devices unit, said only that a tablet is among the "possibilities" for Motorola, and a company spokeswoman declines to elaborate. A Verizon spokeswoman declines to expand on Mr. McAdams' remarks.
Schaumburg-based Motorola must move fast to capitalize on fast-growing demand for tablets. Apple sold 1 million iPads in less than a month, staking out a dominant position in that market. "It's important for any competitor to get out there sooner rather than later," says Susan Kevorkian, a California-based analyst at International Data Corp. who predicts the number of tablets sold worldwide will more than double to 17 million next year from an expected 7.6 million in 2010.
While that's a fraction of the 277 million smartphones expected to be sold next year, tablets carry price tags averaging about $600, compared with about $450 for smartphones, IDC says.
But tablets are more like PCs than phones, attracting deep-pocketed competitors with strong brands and more expertise in computers. Dell Inc., whose small-screen division is based in Buffalo Grove, is planning to launch a tablet with AT&T by mid-year. Lenovo Group Ltd. and Acer Inc. also are chasing the market.
As in smartphones, Mr. Jha's tablet strategy relies heavily on the combination of Google's Android software and Verizon's consumer reach. It's a bet that saved Mr. Jha last Christmas and kept his turnaround alive.
To stand out among the suppliers wrestling for shelf space at Verizon, Motorola must come up with attractive features and unique software touches, which have often eluded the company in the past.
"Verizon has every reason to play the Android guys against each other," says Joe Beaulieu, an analyst at Chicago-based Morningstar Inc. "If Verizon says, 'We'll carry your tablet,' what happens if they push HTC's tablet instead of yours?"

|Untitled, 1981
the first time in more than eight years, a vast collection of paintings by the
late artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) is on view at Gagosian Gallery in
Chelsea. The last time a show of this caliber was mounted for the artist was in
current exhibit is remarkable in scale, featuring more than fifty works, many
of them on loan from private collections.
results are breathtaking. Many of the paintings are massive in size—like
they're trying very hard to contain Basquiat's energy—and yet the repetition in
themes and language (many of his works include textual elements) bridge his
beginnings as a graffiti artist with his later embrace of color blocking, lush,
loose brushstrokes, and primitive, searching lines. Yet nothing here appears dated
or off point; even nearly three decades after their completion, all of the work
feels contemporary, almost timeless.
he was considered in his lifetime, Basquiat remains an original, using
combinations of painting and drawing in oil stick and a mix of visual and
written language that together create a kind of poetry not before seen in the
1980s, but co-opted today by many.
himself recognized Basquiat's genius, and the two shared an exhibit of
collaborative work in 1985 at Tony Shafrazi Gallery, then in SoHo, and the
first time I'd seen Basquiat's work in person. The card for the show was a
photo of both artists in Everlast boxing attire, like they were about to go
head-to-head in the ring.
the first minute I laid my eyes on the work, I felt Basquiat's larger-than-life
ambition. Little did I know that he was also a firecracker destined to burn
fast and bright enough to self-extinguish just three years later. And
though I was a know-nothing teenager at the time, I was also a painter and I
followed closely the goings-on in the New York art world.
That same year,
shortly after Basquiat's work was exhibited in the Whitney Biennial—as official
an art world coming of age as one gets—he appeared at my door via the cover of
the New York Times Magazine, looking as elite as one could
in a three-piece suit and bare feet. I was smitten.
I thought, that was fast. In less than a decade he'd gone from living on the
streets and writing his SAMO (SAMe Old shit) graffiti, to becoming an international art
star. It was all the legitimacy I needed to run off to Manhattan, dripping
turpentine in my wake.
|In Italian, 1983
a painter was suddenly a formidable job, and the art market was on fire with
neo-expressionists like Eric Fischl, Julian Schnabel, and David Salle selling out
month into the semester, however, the stock market crashed. Warhol had died earlier in the year while Basquiat's existing heroine addiction worsened, leaving the artist isolated and severely depressed.
By 1988, the art boom was
instantly over, and Basquiat—by that point emotionally sick and alienated from
his meteoric rise in popularity and physically sick from his excessive drug
use—was dead at 27.

Created from the blood of vampires in the middle ages, the stony and stalwart Atlas serves his mistress with all of the power of the mountains upon which he was fashioned.
Unlike many of the Gargoyles who fled the Tremere after the Rebellion of his kind, Atlas serves his mistress Circe in Baltimore, MD for his own reasons, reasons he's not likely to speak about to any save the tiny group of Kindred that he trusts.
Atlas is the grim perveyor of whatever violence Circe deems neccesary, and is physically an unstoppable powerhouse. His impressive command of the Gargoyle's discipline Visceratica also allows Circe to keep up on everything that occurs near her through Atlas, a job that Atlas finds quite suitable to his silent, watchful personality.

Kelly St. Claire was enjoying her life as a mother of two with a successful career as a hairstylist when she suddenly felt as though something was missing from her life.
"I love beauty. However, my passion also lay in holistic and energetic healing," Kelly explains, "I didn't know the term 'multi-passionate' at the time. I just thought I was flighty and that in order to get into my holistic health work I'd have to leave my beauty work. I struggled with it for a long time."
The urge to expand in to healing eventually led Kelly to take many holistic workshops in order to stretch her knowledge base and get inspired. That's how she found Southwest Institute of Healing Arts!
An Education in Wellness
"[SWIHA] was perfect for me!" she says, "It became obvious that this was put in my world for a reason, so I signed up for the Holistic Wellness Practitioner diploma with a focus on holistic nutrition. I also received an intense education in life coaching and hypnotherapy."
Kelly soon realized that she wanted to step further in to the realm of holistic nutrition and also pursued the Holistic Nutrition Wellness Practitioner diploma, choosing the Natural Foods Culinary Specialist option.
"All of the teachers were amazing and supportive. Dr. Kelly Clough pushed me to be excellent in writing my research papers. He was honest, tough and I appreciated the feedback. It helped me develop."
In the middle of her studies, she found out she had cancer in her body which would require a radical procedure. She understandably found it difficult to focus on her studies.
"I went through my 'dark night of the soul'. I realized that I was a wounded healer and, through my darkness, I learned to appreciate the divine messages I received. I found myself alone in many situations and learned how to love my own company. It was a painful but profound experience."
"SWIHA worked with me as I took a leave of absence. I reached out to the school and had full support as I finished strong," she says, "I came back and felt the purpose and the drive. I motivated myself and disciplined myself to do the work. I took my education seriously and wanted to do the best I could."
Nothing could stop Kelly once she discovered her purpose: "I was drawn to helping others who suffered as I had. I had once fallen into the trap of emotional eating and realized that my weight had crept up. My body image was poor and I hid out. I was very critical of my body. I worked hard to overcome this and now feel beautiful and able to help others!"
Kelly adds: "The cancer and emotional challenges were obstacles in my path, and I feel ecstatic and proud that I finished strong with a 3.90 GPA! I thank SWIHA for being compassionate and encouraging me."
A Beautiful New Career
Today, Kelly is a Health, Beauty & Wellness Coach who focuses on challenges surrounding aging, emotions and body image.
"I help people feel confident and beautiful!" says Kelly "I am still a hair and beauty stylist and realize how healing a good experience in the salon is. I have the privilege of working in people's crown chakra. I connect with them on a sacred level whether they realize it or not. I spread love to my clients!"
Through her beautiful new career, Kelly has found a deep sense of confidence and pride and feels strong in her ability to help others. She offers local group coaching, guided conversation circles, private coaching, classes, workshops and even home parties!
"I found my niche, in a huge way," Kelly explains, "I'm passionate about helping those who suffered as I had with poor body image and emotional eating. I help people learn about holistic nutrition and my whole approach is to make it fun and enjoyable. It's a great feeling to be so strong in my purpose!"
When asked about her greatest lessons, she says: "I learned that I am an exceptional person and my coaching and teaching will help people. I learned to be compassionate with myself and to allow myself time to heal. I am now free from cancer and smiled upon by the Divine."
Her wisdom for future healers?
"Take your studies seriously and have gratitude for the fabulous opportunity you have here. Persevere, ask for support if you need it and, most of all, finish strong. Don't give up!"

From the discovery of mass graves full of dead dogs to live-baiting scandals and shocking reports of injury and death at tracks, the greyhound-racing industry has made its systemic abuse of animals blatantly clear.
Generally, if greyhounds who are new to racing don't win or place in their first six races, they're sentenced to an early death. An estimated 18,000 are killed every year in Australia – simply because they aren't deemed fast enough to win races. Eight thousand of those killed are puppies.
The dogs who do make it to the racetrack are at significant risk of sustaining serious injuries, such as head trauma or broken hocks or legs, during training and racing. The intensity of the racing also means that dogs can suffer from seizures (from a lack of oxygen) and cardiac arrest.
Because they're forced to work for profit, greyhounds are treated as possessions rather than the sensitive, loving animals they are. They're often confined to tiny, barren pens and kennels, completely deprived of human companionship and stimulation. They're left in these sad conditions for up to 23 hours a day.
In 2016, the New South Wales government commissioned an inquiry which concluded that the greyhound-racing industry is incapable of reform. Then Premier Mike Baird stated, "We simply cannot and will not stand by and allow the widespread and systemic mistreatment of animals." And yet the government continues to permit this rampant abuse of "man's best friend".
The only thing that will guarantee that dogs are protected from cruelty is a ban. Please ask Premier Gladys Berejiklian to shut down this industry.

Hi everyone!
Outfit Details: Top (Similar) / Skirt (Similar – On Sale!) / Flats (Similar – exact ones are still in stores though!) / Bracelets (Similar) / Earrings (Similar)
Does everyone like the background change? 😉 I had to be on campus earlier this week for a meeting, and I figured while I was there I would take advantage of a little variation in the scenery to shoot some outfit posts.
Let me just say that shooting blog posts in public is pretty awkward, especially because I'm used to doing them near my house where no one else can bother me. Major props to all of the street bloggers out there because I don't know how you do it all of the time with everyone staring at you.
This outfit is an old one from my closet, but it's one of my favorites. I've gotten so much use out of this simple white blouse from H&M, it's crazy. I always tend to keep away from white clothing because it just gets dirty and dingy looking so quickly, but I'm thrilled I decided to grab this when I had the chance.
This anchor skirt I bought forever ago at J Crew (probably four years ago, at least). I'm a shameless sucker for anything nautical, and I get so excited when I have the chance to bust it out during the summer. Plus, I thought the skirt worked well with the water behind me (which is about as close as I'll get all season).
I finished the look off with some red lips (my favorite red lipstick EVER), nude flats, and some fringe bangle bracelets that were free from a Lilly Pulitzer GWP at the end of May.
Here's another song that I'm totally obsessed with at the moment. I cycle through music like it's water, haha.
What's your favorite summer outfit?
Thanks for reading!

inadvertent lycopersicoid ambiguity
Just to clarify the whole cheese and tomato issue - my previous post (particularly the cheese section) might have given the impression that cooked tomatoes are a bad thing. So just to clarify: cooked tomatoes are fine. In fact if you're giving them a good solid cooking you can even leave the innards in, seeds and all. It all ends up as a sort of amorphous red mush, anyway.

The hearings and new disclosures cast a harsh spotlight on the immense energy of the tech companies at a time when there may be renewed interest in higher regulation for the industry. The expansion of enterprise capital entails not only excessive-tech firms and venture capital companies, but additionally middleman companies reminiscent of legislation corporations, accounting companies and evaluation facilities.
And lots of occasions, your prospects could not need to truly "personal" the developments – a license proper can typically do the trick. Facebook, Twitter, Google and different tech firms are about to face some close scrutiny from the House Power and Commerce Committee, which has oversight over the tech and telecom industries.
This is a record of the world's largest expertise firms by revenue from Fortune International 500 journal. Higher Washington is quick changing into a hub for innovation and high expertise firms. Our tech corporations are growing world class innovations, however too few of them realise their potential as they struggle to cost-successfully scale their gross sales activity," says Scott.

slow cooking guide
for tips on preparing and cooking food with a slow cooker. Soon you will be using your slow cooker not only to prepare a main dish but also for appetizer, side dish, and
Many of us think of slow cooker recipes as being for cold weather meals but they really are the perfect recipes for summertime also. It is always comforting to know on those cold winter days that you will have a warm meal waiting for you when you get home. What is nice about slow cooker recipes in the summertime is that you can still come home and have a hot meal ready but you don't have to worry about an oven that has been heating up the house. The house stays cool and you get a hot meal. Use your slow cooker to make a complete meal or just use it to cook a side dish to go with something cooked on the grill during those nice spring and summer nights."

The cover art of this year's Arts Midwest Conference program book features a painting of the CJ Walker Theatre in Indianapolis by Jerome Neal. Learn more about the project and artist Jerome Neal in our previous posts.
Walker Theare in Indianapolis. Photo by Esther Boston.
The Madame Walker Theatre is the jewel of Indianapolis' historic Indiana Avenue. Today, it is the only remaining vestige of the Avenue's once-bustling nightlife culture and a lasting tribute to the woman who built it, America's first self-made black female millionaire, Madame CJ Walker.
Erected in 1927, the building not only functioned as the headquarters of Madame Walker's business operations but also housed a movie theater, concert hall, ballroom, doctor's offices, coffee shop and a restaurant. The Walker Theatre was the hub around which much of the neighborhood's commerce and recreation grew and a source of pride for local Black residents, offering a beloved alternative to White-owned businesses that often provided Black patrons with second-rate goods and services. (A circumstance pointed to in the Walker Theatre Drugstore's slogan which promised "positively no stale seconds, inferior or refuse merchandise will be used, stocked, or sold.")
Walker Theatre, by Jerome Neal
The Walker's concert hall has presented Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Patti LaBelle, Michael Bolton, and Lena Horne. And the Walker's Grand Casino Ballroom has been home to local jazz greats like Gregg Bacon and Lonnie Lester.
An integral part of the Indianapolis community for close to a century, today the Madame Walker Theatre Center is dedicated to preserving the legacy of Madame CJ Walker by providing cultural education, promoting social justice, supporting entrepreneurship and empowering youth to become the next generation of business owners and civic leaders. The Center seeks to empower, educate, and entertain using their historic building as a venue for celebrating cultural diversity, rich heritage and cultural traditions, primarily through art from the African-American perspective.

Well as finances get worse and worse I've finally lost all hope on saving money towards getting Autodesk Maya. The prices seem to be getting higher and higher but what bothers me most is this:
Australian store Maya $6000-7000
USA store Maya $3000-4000
It's now gotten so far out of my budget that Autodesk software officially costs more than a second hand car.
I'll admit, it's been a long time since I've used Blender but with the releases for 2.6 the navigation has gotten a lot more user friendly and easier to use. I never thought I'd get comfortable in Blender but I did. I managed to get cosy with it. And that was the final straw so to speak. Autodesk prices went to high and Blender became more efficient. Whenever my finaces improve I will surely be donating to blender and buying a few things on their store.
I use to find blender so hard to use. My biggest issue use to be getting textures to just do what I wanted but later I realised it was a bug. Now it's gone far beyond my expectations. I also never thought that I'd fall in love with Blender but it's happening. Slowly but surely, I'm starting to love it and use it with more ease. However Metasequoia is still my modelling favourite.
Eventually when I get past the practising stages I'll share something worth while and then when I get around to building my game I'll post some screen caps of the progress here.

Thai inspiration mixed with Indian flavours bring irresistible tastes to Greenwich
A new restaurant launched recently in Greenwich has been the hot topic of discussion in several ladies' groups on WhatsApp and Snapchat. The foodie vegetarians have been swearing by the chilly paneer and many culinary aficionados were dropping in from quite far-away postcodes to try it – posting pictures and giving elaborate descriptions. I thought it was too much ado over cottage cheese and ignored it.
Soon the non-vegetarians followed suit, raving over Indo-Chinese food, a complete banal street food sold galore (often in open carts) in Indian cities; and a big hit among students and young professionals living on a tight budget. But the difference with this restaurant was the customising of good and fresh quality ingredients without losing that raunchy edge.
Having spent years foraging the street stalls in India to avoid bland hostel food, it was hard to resist the temptations of tasting this in the heart of London to bring back memories and flavours from the past.
The menu clearly said Thai and Chinese, but I could smell my Indian roots somewhere. So I decided to drop in for a meal to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was a Sunday and we were lucky enough to meet the proprietors, (and find my Indian roots) brothers Kumar Sunil and Executive Chef Bhola Prasad who had opened shop in Toomai Square.
Executive Chef Bhola Prasad (left) with Kumar Sunil
They coined the name "Toomai" from a short Indian story about a young elephant. The revelation of starting Toomai Square came from a visit to Thailand. Witnessing the thousand-hand Guan Yin performance which emulates the abilities to render assistance, learning the folklore and myths of the Himmapan forest and its hybrid animals gave them the perfect visual representation for Toomai Square.
The brothers grew up in the North East part of India, where influences of South-East Asian food like Vietnamese, Thai, Tibetan, and Chinese is quite prodigious. The Chef combined Chinese cooking styles with Indian flavours and Thai exotic ingredients to get that clever combination which instantly appeals to the palette. Greenwich is the first branch opened by the brothers after their successful launch of the first Toomai Square in Lambarde Square with another partner.
Executive Chef Bhola Prasad was a Senior Chef at one of the famed-for-good-food five-star hotels in Kolkata, India – Hotel Hindustan International, lovingly called the HHI. He was poached by some top-notch Indian restaurants in UK where he worked during his initial years before venturing out on his own.
The extremely humble and approachable Chef was down-to-earth when he said that although his food was greatly appreciated by many celebrities, he did not recognise most of them.
"I've taken pictures with cricketers and Bollywood personalities who wanted to meet the Chef after enjoying their meal at the restaurant, but I couldn't recognise many Hollywood actors and musicians. I just went with the flow and took some pictures with them," he laughed honestly when I asked if he could share some pictures with us if I was to write a story on his food and journey.
And this simplicity and honesty gets reflected in the food. The ingredients are sourced directly from Thailand, China, and India. Starting with some classic Edamame beans, to a spicy honey-glazed chili veg served with honey-grazed green chillies, a fresh portion of Thai calamari, spicy chilli paneer or spicy chicken drumsticks, the flavours, freshly-made sauces and the taste hits your buds.
The mains were amazing too, with the yellow Lobster curry, Chicken Manchurian to Black Cod with ginger, shiitake mushrooms and some slow-cooked lamb curry in coconut milk and peanut (probably Thai) that melted in the mouth.
I tried a coconut lassi, that was fabulous, but my friends loved the mango lassi too.
Our Austrian birthday girl went bonkers with the chilli paneer, swearing that she would turn vegetarian if it could taste so good. She packed some for her lunch the following day.
The famed Chilli Paneer
I felt happy after the meal, and for the unique initiative by the brothers, made so affordable. The bill was around £50 for two, and we ate till we burst from our seams. Bhola Prasad, the Executive Chef shared, "in our family, stories have always been shared over a good meal. Through Toomai Square we want to share not just our heritage and food with our patrons but also our journey and story. We want Toomai Square to be an experience they won't regret and definitely won't forget."
Happy Customers

The Israel Defense Force has sent teams to Russia to participate for the second year in a row in the International Army Games which began on Friday, July 27 in Alabino, near Moscow.Story here.
Teams from Belarus, Syria, Tadjikistan, Iran, Russia and Serbia were slated to take the field on the fourth day of the games for the individual tank biathlon contest in Alabino, near Moscow.
Altogether, 189 teams from 32 nations representing Europe, Asia, Africa, Central and Latin America are participating in this year's competition. Included are 28 contests with tanks, snipers, and various air and sea disciplines.
The games are scheduled to conclude on August 11.
I'll tell ya what. If we could guarantee the safety of our boys then we should go. If you're worried about security then do what it takes....sanitize them, throw away their phones and give them stuff from WalMart...strip the tank down to bare bones...either get a bunch of new guys just out of Ft Benning or pick some seasoned guys that are squeaky clean...the point is if Israel can go then we should man up and play too.
Does it mean a thing?
Will I expect us to even finish in the top ten?
Nope, that just wouldn't fit the narrative, but we can set the ground so that the public understands the true purpose of our participation.
To open up another front of military cooperation with those that we've never worked with before.
If the US, Israel and Russia (with Syria and Iran tagging along cause daddy told them to) can work together to deconflict a war zone then certainly we can play nice enough to participate in an international game.
