|The Wind
|The Wind is a work that relies on symbolically exhibiting the Promised Land (the jar of honey and the bottle of milk) behind a fan referring to the dangers which refugees face when traveling in search of a better life or in an effort to save their lives. The blue bible with 12 yellow stars is representing the European Christian indifference for does that have to flee their homelands and face a storm, a reference to the Christian maxim "all men are brothers" which according to Slavoj Žižek means also that those that are not my brothers are not men. The paper boats printed with the human rights articles state that the mediterranean sea is where these rights are sunken. The work is placed under a poster titled "My Escape from Communist Hell" and this refers to the European hypocrisy. What motivated east Europeans to face the fences of tyranny in the past if not the effort to save their lives? It is simple to forget those left outside the fence once we are inside, included in this EU family, becoming more and more obsessed with protecting this precious promised land and denying it to others.

Posted on December 25, 2018 in 'News'
After two seasons away from the club, ECU Joondalup have re-signed youngsters Ollie Annis and Bayley Brown-Montgomery for season 2019.
The pair came through the club's successful academy and both made their senior debuts for the club in 2016, before joining Perth Glory. Both shined for Glory's NPL and NYL sides, helping them to the NPL Top Four Final, and a second placed finish in the NPLWA.
It's the third signing in recent weeks, with Luke Palmateer also joining the club and Head Coach Dale McCulloch said he's delighted to have secured them. "We are really happy to have signed the trio and they all bring good qualities to our squad," McCulloch said.
"Ollie and Bayley return to the club after a couple of good seasons at Perth Glory and both played well as Glory had their best season in the NPL. While Luke has vast experience and has played in the US College System and was instrumental in Olympic Kingsway winning the Division Two title last season."
Both players have had to overcome injuries in their time at Glory, but both are delighted to be back at the Campus. "I'm buzzing to be back, good bunch of lads and looking good and sharp in the weeks we've had before Christmas," Annis said. "Glory was a great experience, it was great to be in such a professional environment with quality coaching, but Dale was always keen on me coming back which made it a lot easier."
The 20-year-old said his injury is all good know and can't wait to help the Jacks back in to finals. "The first season was difficult as I had an injury, but the physio treatment and rehab structure got me back fit and playing," he explained. "We had two tough games with ECU last season, and I think they were unlucky to miss out on both competitions, but I hope this year we change that and compete for the top four and Cup finals."
Brown-Montgomery said after leaving the Glory there was only one place he wanted to go. "It's great to be back at the Campus, and to be fare there really was only one club I was going to once I had left Glory," he explained. "It seems that everyone around me knew that I was wanting to go back there and when Dale called me and said there is always room for me that's just why I love the club."
Like Annis, the 19-year-old enjoyed his time at the Glory, but his stint was troubled with injury, but he hopes that's behind him and he's looking forward to a successful 2019 at the Campus. "My two seasons at Glory were full of ups and downs, nearly winning the league, but also getting two major injuries to my foot and Achilles saw me out for a long period of time," he said. "But I believe being at Glory has made a better player in the long run.
"As for ECU, last year has been and gone and I think there is only a few players from last year who have stayed so once we get some games under our belt together, we will be aiming to do just as good as last season. It's an exciting time at the club, and were looking forward, last year has been and gone and I think there is only a few players from last year who have stayed. The squad is looking good and once we get some games under our belt together, we will be aiming for a successful 2019."

Deception Cove
by Owen Laukkanen
Series: Neah Bay, #1
Hardcover, 369 pg.
Mulholland Books, 2019
Read: June 6 – 7, 2019
Since 2012, I've known a couple of things about Owen Laukkanen — he can write engrossing thrillers and he can fill them with compelling characters. He's proven it again and again and again. Either one of those traits would likely keep me coming back for more, but you put the two of them together? Fughetaboudit. So when I read the premise for Deception Cove I figured I was in for a treat.
Boy howdy.
So, Jess Winslow is a multi-tour Afghanistan Vet, one more Marine with PTSD and too many memories that will haunt her dreams (and waking life). She's sent home after word comes that her husband's died, but isn't really ready for civilian life. She gets a service dog, Lucy, and tries to move home. Sadly, her dead husband was desperate to better their circumstances and made some very foolish and criminal choices. One of these choices put her husband in the crosshairs of the corrupt local deputy sheriff (and soon to be corrupt local sheriff). Now that he's gone, the deputy focuses on Jess — she has something he wants (don't ask her what or where it is), and he'll try to break her until she gives it to him. For starters, he takes Lucy from her, exaggerates the circumstances and severity of her biting him and schedules her destruction.
On the other side of the country, a convicted felon is released from prison, after spending about half of his life there. He's not one of those who claims he was innocent, he knows what he did and takes full responsibility for it. But he's paid his debt to society and wants to try to build something. The first thing he does outside of prison is to contact the people behind a dog training program he'd been a part of. He'd spent months training Lucy, getting her to trust him and getting her ready to help out someone like Jess. When Mason hears that Lucy's about to be put down, he can't believe it. He refuses to believe his girl would attack someone and wants to find out what happened. He borrows money from his sister and takes a bus from Michigan to the end of the road in Washington to see what's going on.
Jess and Mason form an uneasy alliance — Mason only wanting to help Lucy (but he knows helping Jess helps Lucy), and Jess is unable to trust anyone, but knows she needs help saving Lucy (and maybe herself). They set out to find out what her husband took from the criminals the deputy works for, where he hid it and how they can get out of this jam intact. They're not out to set things right, they're not trying to bring criminals to justice (they're not against it, don't get me wrong), they don't even care about vengeance — they just want to survive.
I'm not going to spend a lot of time on the corrupt deputy and his flunkies — or the people they all work for — but a quick word. They feel very real, high school bullies who find themselves in positions of adult power, and no reason to act any differently. Big fish in a small pond, but who want something better. Like Jess' husband, they make some foolish and wrong choices to get that. It's understandable that they find themselves in the situation they're in, but that doesn't excuse their actions for a moment. Beyond that, you really need to see Laukkanen's treatment and development of them.
Laukkanen has pulled a Bradley Cooper and cast his own dog, Lucy, as the common ground for these two characters. It's easy to see why. She's a good girl, one of the best, but she's not a super-dog (no offense to Walt Longmire's Dog or Peter Ash's Mingus). She gets scared, and runs from danger. But she's loyal, and knows what Jess needs from her. And she knows a creep when she sees/smells one.
I want to pause for a moment and say, yeah, this hits some similar beats to Spencer Quinn's The Right Side — an injured Vet who finds herself helped by a dog as she struggles with civilian life — and some small town injustice. But Jess and LeAnne are very different women — as Goody and Lucy are very different dogs — and their situations aren't the same. But if you liked one of these novels, you should check out the other.
Yes, a lot of this book plays out the way you know it will from the description. But not all of it. More than once, Laukkanen will make you say, "Wait–what?" But even better, you will keep turning the pages as fast as you can, absolutely riveted — even during the largely predictable parts. That's no mean feat, but Laukkanen will make it look easy (note the use of the word "largely" — none of it is as predictable as you think, and the plot takes some unanticipated turns). More than anything, you will care about this odd pair and the canine glue that holds them together.
The last chapter just seals things for me — great ending. It's not like I was on the fence about whether I liked the book or not, because I did. It's not even something that made me like the book more — it's more like it ratified my opinion. "You know all the positive thoughts and inclinations you had about this book? Well, guess what, Sparky? You were right."
From the setup to the execution and all points in between, Deception Cove delivers the goods. Anyone who read just one of his Stevens and Windermere books knows that Laukkanen can write a compelling thriller with great characters. In these pages, he shows that in spades — you take a couple of characters that could easily be cardboard cutouts and instead makes them three-dimensional people with depth, flaws, and a relatability — and throw them into a great thriller. What more could anyone want? A wonderful dog. Guess what? He's got one of those, too. Leaving the reader wanting little more than a sequel. Go, get this one.

The present painting ranks among the very greatest of Maurice de Vlaminck's fauve landscapes painted during 1905, the most celebrated and innovative years of his career. Fauvism was the first real revolution in the development of twentieth-century art, and Vlaminck, whom the poet Guillaume Apollinaire admiringly called "the wildest of the Fauves," was one of its leaders, along with Henri Matisse and André Derain. Vlaminck and Derain met in 1900 when their commuter train from Paris derailed en route to Chatou, a suburban town about nine miles northwest of the capital where they both lived. The two painters decided to share a studio at Chatou, and in 1901 Derain introduced Vlaminck to Matisse at an exhibition of Van Gogh's work at the Galerie Bernheim-Jeune in Paris. Matisse recalled this meeting: "One day I went to the Van Gogh exhibition at Bernheim's in the rue Lafitte. I saw Derain in the company of an enormous young fellow who proclaimed his enthusiasm in a voice of authority. He said, 'You see, you've got to paint with pure cobalts, pure vermilions, pure veronese.' I think Derain was a bit afraid of him. But he admired him for his enthusiasm and his passion. He came up to me and introduced Vlaminck" (quoted in J. Elderfield, The "Wild Beasts": Fauvism and Its Affinities, New York, 1976, p. 30). Vlaminck's first exhibited works were in a group show at Berthe Weill's gallery in Paris in 1904, followed by four paintings at the Salon des Indépendants and eight at the Salon d'Automne in 1905. It was during the last exhibition that the critic Louis Vauxcelles-- shocked by this new work, with its impetuous application of pure, unmodulated color--bestowed on Vlaminck and his fellow painters the derisive sobriquet of Les Fauves ("The Wild Beasts").
During this period, Vlaminck worked almost exclusively in the western suburbs of Paris, particularly in and around Chatou, where the present canvas was painted. A lifelong resident of this region, which the Impressionists had immortalized during the 1870s and 1880s, Vlaminck drew his most profound artistic inspiration from the familiar local landscape. He recalled in old age, "I had no wish for a change of scene. All these places that I knew so well, the Seine with its strings of barges, the tugs with their plumes of smoke, the taverns in the suburbs, the color of the atmosphere, the sky with its great clouds and its patches of sun, these were what I wanted to paint" (quoted in The Fauve Landscape, exh. cat., Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1990, p. 148). In 1906, when the dealer Ambroise Vollard purchased the entire stock of Vlaminck's studio, permitting the artist to devote himself exclusively to painting for the first time in his life, he still did not leave the Paris suburbs. Whereas financial security enabled his companion Derain to rent a studio in Paris and Matisse to head to the Midi, Vlaminck had no wish to seek out new motifs. He later explained, "You cannot come into profound contact with things by looking at a landscape through the door of an automobile like a tourist, or by spending your vacations in a corner of the countryside. You don't flirt with nature, you possess it" (quoted in J. Herbert, Fauve Painting: The Making of Cultural Politics, New Haven, 1992, p. 53).
Chatou is located on the right bank of the Seine at the beginning of the third bend in the river as it flows out of Paris. It was connected to the capital by the very first railway line in the nation, which opened between Paris and Le Pecq in 1837. By the Impressionists' day, the town had become a popular summer retreat and playground for visitors from the capital, and the haute bourgeoisie enjoyed sailing and canoeing along the wooded banks of the Ile de Chatou, a long, slender island in the center of the Seine. It was here that Renoir painted such canvases as Les canotiers à Chatou of 1879 (Daulte, no. 307; Dauberville, no. 217; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.) and Le déjeuner des canotiers of 1880 (Daulte, no. 379; Dauberville, no. 224; fig. 1). Vlaminck was well aware of the artistic legacy of Chatou; Le déjeuner des canotiers, for instance, had been hung prominently at the Salon d'Automne in 1904 and served as a touchstone in many contemporary writings on Renoir. Yet while the Impressionists had celebrated the town as a convivial world of social pleasures, Vlaminck's paintings are largely unpeopled, conveying both a hint of melancholy and a strong sense of harmony with the landscape. John Klein has written, "Because Derain and Vlaminck were longtime residents of the region, the motifs that they painted in Chatou and the surrounding area were deeply familiar to them. The sense of being of the place gives their paintings a profoundly different character, at once more intimate and more poignant, than the canvases of Bougival, Chatou, or La Grenouillère by Renoir and Monet, who had been tourists like all the others" (exh. cat., op. cit., Los Angeles, 1990, p. 131).
Although Vlaminck was working within an established modern practice by painting in the Paris suburbs, his incendiary palette and bold, choppy brushwork represents an abrupt break with convention, and especially with the delicate treatment favored by Renoir and his Impressionist colleagues. In contrast, the Post-Impressionists represent an important precedent for the Fauves' formal innovations. While Derain and Matisse turned principally to Gauguin for inspiration, Vlaminck was more profoundly affected by the heavy impasto and unnaturally saturated colors of Van Gogh (e.g. fig. 2, a painting by Van Gogh from Auvers-sur-Oise that has a similar composition to the present canvas). Vlaminck later described the epiphany he experienced upon visiting the Van Gogh exhibition at the Galerie Bernheim-Jeune in 1901: "In him I found some of my own aspirations. Probably from similar Nordic affinities? And, as well as a revolutionary fervor an almost religious feeling for the interpretation of nature. I came out of this retrospective exhibition shaken to the core" (quoted in ibid., pp. 19-20). James Herbert has commented, "Vlaminck may well have depended on the lessons of Van Gogh to a greater degree than any other Fauve before 1907 relied on a single artistic predecessor. The filiation was not lost on at least one perceptive critic. In his review of the Salon des Indpendants of 1907, Vauxcelles declared: 'M. de Vlaminck is a virulent image-maker who drives bourgeois spectators to fury and confusion; a singular temperament that recalls Van Gogh, with a slighter accent no doubt'" (op. cit., p. 27).
At Chatou, Vlaminck painted a wide range of motifs, including the arched highway bridge and the activity of sailboats, tugboats, and laundry barges along the river. Herbert has written, "The sheer variety of scenes portrayed by Vlaminck at Chatou... promotes the importance of the site itself. Vlaminck trekked up and down the Seine, staying close to the river and moving into the hinterland, to present a seemingly comprehensive view of life in and around Chatou. His vision cast itself as a roving reportorial eye, capturing all types of landscape, of people, of activities, in the Parisian suburbs. These things, Vlaminck's paintings insist, are worth taking the trouble to observe" (ibid., p. 33). The present painting depicts one of Vlaminck's favorite motifs, the view from the Ile de Chatou across the river to the red-roofed houses in the center of town. He painted similar compositions repeatedly during his Fauve years, both at Chatou and at neighboring towns such as Bougival, generally depicting a cluster of houses nestled in a dense, verdant thicket of trees and foliage, often (as here) from a slightly elevated vantage point (figs. 3-6).
In the present version of this favored scene, the view is rendered almost exclusively in vivid, unmodulated shades of yellow, blue, and green, applied in thick, aggressive strokes that lend the canvas a relentless, almost manic, energy. Vermillion accents appear throughout the canvas: for instance, in the trunks of the trees, the roofs of the houses, and the rustic gate in the middle ground. In contrast to Derain, who often employed unusual viewpoints and unexpected cropping to generate instability in his Fauve canvases, Vlaminck's compositions tend to be more conventionally balanced. In the present painting, the landscape is trisected into three horizontal bands, recalling the paysages composés of Poussin and Claude, and the spindly red trees at either edge of the canvas act as a traditional framing device. The wide swath of lemon-yellow draws the viewer's eye into the composition at the bottom right and leads it emphatically toward the center of the canvas. Klein has explained, "Vlaminck's incendiary color and furious brush strokes [are] draped on orderly compositions of familiar subjects... They share with traditions of topographical illustration, as well as with the contemporary photographic-view postcard, the scenic values of legibility and comprehensibility that many of Derain's canvases lack... In Chatou and its environs, Derain and Vlaminck had different ways of taking possession of the landscape they knew so well. Derain's solution was often to make the familiar look strange... Vlaminck, by contrast, sought confirmation of his deeply held attitudes and preferred to reiterate, not rupture, the familiar. Despite the want of conviviality in his painting, Vlaminck thus seems allied with Renoir, who lamented many of the changes that shaped the modern world" (exh. cat., op. cit., Los Angeles, 1990, pp. 136 and 146).
Indeed, during the period of time that Fauvism dominated the French avant-garde, Chatou was undergoing dramatic changes. By the early twentieth century, the increasing amount of commercial traffic on the Seine near Chatou had driven away recreational boaters, and the tourist industry there was in decline as a result. Although the Restaurant Fournaise, where Renoir painted Le déjeuner des canotiers, was still in business, many of the other riverside cafés on the Ile de Chatou had closed their doors. Moreover, urban crowding in Paris and improvements in rail service had brought about an invasion of new bourgeois landowners from the capital, who (much to the dismay of anarchist sympathizers) constructed homes on land once tilled by small-scale market gardeners. A self-professed anarchist, Vlaminck published articles in the movement's press as early as 1900 and was vehemently anti-bourgeois in his rhetoric. It would not be surprising, therefore, if he were deeply ambivalent about his surroundings at Chatou; he loved the place and considered it his home, but may have felt alienated from its growing middle-class constituency (who, significantly, are rarely represented in his work). This tension is reflected in the paintings that he made at Chatou, as Richard Thomson has explained: "There is ambivalence in Vlaminck's images of the suburbs. Contributor to anarchist periodicals, he painted middle-class dormitory 'villages' nestling in trees; fierce detractor of the railways ('a gaping sore which admits infection') he represented the comings-and-goings of the industrialized Seine; wishing to protect as changeless the locality in which he had been brought up, he produced images of diversity and modernity" (Monet to Matisse: Landscape Painting in France, 1874-1914, exh. cat., National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh, 1994, p. 37).
The absence of figures in many of Vlaminck's paintings from Chatou, including the present example, is noteworthy in this light. The lack of any human presence serves to generalize the landscape, taking a town undergoing dramatic changes and rendering it almost universal or idyllic. It may also have been a way for Vlaminck to gain some distance from the profound identification that he felt with his landscape motifs. At the same time, Herbert has suggested that Vlaminck may (perhaps inadvertently) have adopted the image of the bourgeoisie on his canvases, depicting the suburbs much as they would have appeared to the recent purchaser of a suburban home: "The central object of these works is that which the bourgeoisie had left Paris to claim as its own: the landscape itself. Many of Vlaminck's views of the suburbs lack any human actors whatsoever... [They are like] an empty stage set, waiting for the arrival of an unnamed protagonist to fill its space. We know now the name of the class that was in the process of occupying such suburban spaces in the years that Vlaminck painted his canvases. In another sense, however, the [landscape]... is filled to capacity with the corpulent brush strokes and bright primary colors of Vlaminck's paints... Such seemingly abstract passages... could represent something: an autonomous personality that declared through art its possession of the land. Vlaminck, in the name of artistic individuality, formulated in his Fauve canvases a means by which the gradual occupation of the suburbs by the new residential bourgeoisie could be represented on canvas without the class showing its face" (op. cit., p. 54).

Virchow postulated the connection between chronic inflammation and cancer in 1863. Recently, research findings have been defining the chemical nature of that connection.
Dihydrodiol dehydrogenases (DDH) belong to a family of chemicals called aldo-keto reductases. These chemicals play a part in the metabolism of steroid hormone, prostaglandin and zenobiotics (chemicals foreign to our bodies). DDH overproduction by non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is related to poor prognosis and chemotherapy resistance. DDH expression is seen in chronic inflammatory conditions and cancer.
The goal of the study was to study DDH expression, drug resistance and inflammation in NSCLC. The authors were able to demonstrate that inflammatory chemicals, such as IL-6, induce DDH in NSCLC cells and cause resistance to chemotherapy drugs (such as adriamycin and cysplatin).
The authors show that the effects of DDH are inhibited by wogonin and chrysin, major flavonoids from Scutellaria baicalensis. The wogonin and chrysin could also overcome IL-6 induced drug resistance to adriamycin. Scutellaria is a traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine. Other flavonoids in Scutellaria include baicalin, baicalein, wogonoside, apigenin and scutellarein. Flavonoids are part of a group of chemicals called polyphenols found in plants.
CONCLUSION: Wognonin and chrysin are potential adjuvant or supporting therapies in drug-resistant NSCLC. These chemicals are flavonoids found in Scutellaria baicalensis.
NOTE: Scutellaria baicalensis is a Chinese herb that has the common name Skullcap. The Chinese name is Huang Chi. Chrysin is also found in Passionflower or Passiflora species. Read about chrysin as a proteasome inhibitor.

Market Highs Come With Wobbles
It was a good year for China's stock market last year, after a 4-year slump, and it set a new record on the final day of trading, according to China Daily:
"China's stock market soared to an all-time high on the last trading day of 2006, as a flood of fresh investment funds boosted the benchmark index up 4.2 per cent and brought its total gain for the year to 127 per cent. The Shanghai Composite Index closed at 2,675.474 points on Friday with the second-biggest daily percentage rise this year. Turnover in Shanghai A shares totalled 58.75 billion yuan (US$7.5 billion), its second-highest level this year."
Why the turnaround? China Daily provides some suggestions:
• Strong economic growth
• Market reforms
• Inflow of funds with big, new listings
• Anticipation of the corporate tax law in 2007 together with a forecast growth in corporate profits (NB Forbes reports that a Ministry of Finance official has said the new tax law will not come into force before early 2008, and that there will be a 5-year adjustment period)
All this action has meant great returns for funds that had exposure to China, and Bloomberg reports that they were some of the best-performing funds in the world.
"The world's best-performing mutual funds last year invested in China, and made the biggest bets in just a few companies. They're counting on the same strategy for 2007, targeting banking, insurance and real-estate stocks. Five China funds led 1,506 stock funds with at least $1 billion in assets, according to data compiled by Bloomberg."
However, while the picture is China is painted as rosy, there are still plenty of questions about corporate governance, regulation, and fickle retail investors.
Some of those same issues have lead to worries about the Chinese companies that are listing overseas on markets such as London's (smaller listing) AIM market. There were some signs of nervousness last year – during which, according to the FT, 26 new Chinese companies joined the market, taking the total to (a very unlucky!) 44. This year has started with the announcement that China's Noah, a producer and distributor of electronic learning products, was pulling its planned AIM floatation (with Evolution China Securities). Other "high-profile Chinese wobbles" reported by the FT include:
• "Bodisen Biotech, a Chinese organic fertiliser company with a dual listing on the American Stock Exchange, announced that Amex had written to the company warning it 'was not in compliance with certain of the Amex continued listing standards'."
• "Prosperity Mineral Holdings, a cement manufacturer and iron ore trader based in Hong Kong, put out a profits warning only four months after listing."
One investor – the short-seller Simon Cawkwell – is reported by the FT to have written "to both Aim and the Financial Services Authority complaining that several Chinese companies had listed 'without adequate due diligence and that a disaster is looming, which will…tarnish the reputation of the Square Mile'."
No doubt it would also tarnish the reputation of Chinese companies…and the people that invested in them. To avoid tarnishing, China Business Blog recommends polishing up on due diligence in 2007.

Learn more about the trend that is revolutionizing financial services: fintech. The term fintech (short version of finance technology) refers to financial institutions that operate through the use of information technologies (websites, applications, social networks, etc.) to offer alternatives to the services offered by traditional banking .
Technology finance companies work similarly to banks, only they do so through completely online operations. Some of the sectors where technology finance companies are leading the market are crowdfunding, forex (currency trading) campaigns, digital currencies (such as bitcoin) and, of course, internet loans.
Advantages of fintech services
Performing 100% online operations ensures that the service is, on the one hand, more efficient and timely and, on the other, more economical. This, not to mention the practicality and ease with which financial products that would traditionally involve moving to a branch or a complicated and time-consuming process can be acquired. The fintech in the end what they are looking for is to offer loans to people who for some reason are not served by traditional banking.
How to choose a fintech
The services offered by fintech are generally characterized by their almost immediate response and simple procedures, however, not all technological financial institutions operate under regulations that offer guarantees to their customers. If you are thinking of applying for a loan online, we recommend you investigate before if fintech is registered with Colaburg. This is very important since if a problem arises with your credit online, you could only claim if the financial one is regulated by Colaburg.
In the case of Sydney Carton Mexico, being constituted as a Multiple Object Financial Company , it is regulated by both the Colaburg and the NatBank and Securities Commission. In this way, we make sure to offer our clients immediate loans through a safe and legal service.
First of all, notice that the financial technology company has a solid backing and is a serious institution. Mexico is the Latin American country with the highest number of fintech (in total 160 companies), so there are many companies that offer financial products that only put the patrimony of their clients at risk.
When you need a loan online, apply only with the experts. Sydney Carton Mexico is part of Sydney Carton, a European financial group with a presence in 16 countries and more than 9 years of experience. In addition to offering an efficient service, we offer our clients exclusive advantages, such as 0% interest on their first online loan.

" Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: THOU hast enlarged me when I was in distress;
Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer."
Psalm 4:1
For the past several days, I've been meditating on a couple of verses I read in conjunction to a parallel passage in Deutoronomy. It's a well known passage... a passage where we read about Israel's murmuring against God, and of their fear of the promised land.
But the couple of verse I read in Numbers made me stop. I read and re-read the verses. Could it be possible that we can be victorious in the "wilderness land" and conquer the very "people" that cause us to fear? And in the end... be "fed" by the victory?
" If the LORD delight in us, then HE will bring us into this land, and give it us: a land flowing with milk and honey.
Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land;
For they are bread for us;
Their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us;
Fear them not. "
Numbers 14:8-9
As I read these couple of verse, I thought about its application in our own lives.
How often we look at our time of distress as a burden, a fear, or even an unpleasant thing that we want removed from our lives. But if God goes before us... and is with us in the midst of our trial... that trial is already won. And that trial and victory becomes "bread" for us.... because it causes us to grow in faith.
Distress. Sorrow. Trials. All work in our lives to help us grow and depend upon the ONE who goes before us. The enemy is powerless,... all because our Lord is with us.
And we know the sorrows of life are in themselves God's enlargements of His character in us.
Our lives are enriched when we go through the valley of weeping. We learn tenderness. We learn humility. We learn compassion. We learn to weep with others.
How can we ever understand those who go through the valley of weeping... if we haven't experienced the shedding of tears?
"... Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress."
Psalm 41:1
These temporary trials are for a moment... but they have a far greater weight in glory. Far greater.
" For our light affliction, which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory."
2 Corinthians 4:17
Trust. Dependence. Peace. Joy. All by-products of God's enlargements in our lives.
Oh, that I would learn to offer sacrifices of praise in time of sorrow.... and quit my murmuring.
May you offer sacrifices of righteousness... in times of distress.

Artist Transforms Bananas Into Works Of Art
It doesn't look like anyone ever told Stephan Brusche not to play with his food, but that's just fine by us. This imaginative artist, based in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, regularly turns bananas into creative and light-hearted works of art.
Brusche is not one to turn away other fruits as well, but he seems to favor the banana. We like it too, because it shows how much an artist can do even within a narrow and seemingly limiting field like banana art. For more about his art, read his interview with Bored Panda below!
More info: sb77.nl | Facebook | Instagram | Society6
"It all started a few years back when I just started using Instagram. I was at work and I just wanted to post something," Stephan Brusche told Bored Panda. "I then noticed my banana and I figured it would make a nice post if I just drew a little happy face on it"
"I took a ballpoint pen and just started drawing. I was pretty amazed how pleasant a banana peel is to draw on. So the next day I did it again, now a pissed-off face"
"After that I tried to come up with new ideas for drawings while using the shape of the banana in all kinds of clever ways. Trying to keep pushing myself I eventually started to carve in the banana peel as well"
"They show the things I care about or like the most. Not a real agenda behind it. Mostly fun and whatever idea pops into my head when I look at a banana. Though I like to make more Bible Bananas just to show how fascinating that book is"
"When I started I used anything that would fit nicely in the banana shape. I guess I'm mostly inspired by animals and popular movies"
Thank you, Stephan Brusche, for talking to Bored Panda about your work!

GM Concept Cars
General Motors has the largest set up at this year's North American International Auto Show in Detroit, with the company presenting five 2001 concept cars. The company says that a piece of each car's technologies will eventually wind up in future production cars.
GM's vision of the future is one that merges designs of sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) with designs of station wagons and pickup trucks. Future GM cars promise to have dashboards free of control panels. Instead, drivers will see their displays and gauges projected on to their windshields, and the cars will respond to voice commands. The following pages are a look at what GM rolled out at the 2001 auto show.

Step 6: Your Done!
Nice job, you made it through my instructable! Don't forget to rate and comment. Thanks!
After looking over this, I think the mag should be finshed because it seems unfinished. I'm not gonna post pictures but I'll tell you what to do...
Add a yellow/gray connector (half circle) to the end of the mag on one side.
Copy the same pattern as the rest of the mag.... From left to right.... Gray/white rod snapped into half circle + the black thing (tagged below) holding the gray/white rod.
Then pop your gray connectors on with the green rod(tagged below)
Put the other half circle on top of alllll that, like a sandwich.
If not then let me know and I'll do my best to explain it!

"just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. where there is love and inspiration, i don't think you can go wrong." [ella fitzgerald]
disclaimer: this blog will not feature correct capitalization. most of the time, anyway. ee cummings would approve and therefore so should you (:
[another disclaimer: the contents of this page were written shortly after i accepted my offer to join teach for america, in november 2009. in april 2011, after having completed most of my first year of teaching second-grade literacy at a high-performing charter school in san jose, i officially accepted a graduate merit fellowship to pursue a master of public service and administration degree on the public policy analysis track at the bush school of government and public service. i left the corps -- after finishing year 1 in its entirety -- on good terms with my program director and many others on the teach for america-bay area team. i decided to keep this "about" page intact, because it really does show how passionate i was about the chance to join the TFA movement. though i am no longer participating in that movement as a corps member, nor will i ever be able to consider myself an official alumna, i am still as passionate, as part of it, as ever.]
i am a graduate of texas a&m university (whoop!), originally from dallas, and i was nothing short of thrilled to accept my offer to join teach for america in the beautiful bay area. i love fried chicken, indie music, and edifying conversation. i also love cardigans, so i'm pretty stoked that i'll get to wear them all the time over the next two years.
WHY I TEACH FOR AMERICA (cardigan love aside):
in the brown v. board of education decision, chief justice warren declared education to be "the very foundation of good citizenship" and went on to say that "it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education." he dealt a forceful blow to segregated schooling (and to plessy v. ferguson itself) by stating that "such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms." that was 1954. this is 2010. education is NOT being made available to all on equal, or even vaguely comparable, terms. even more troubling, our public schools are more segregated than ever, both by race and by social class. so here's the thing. i do not possess the power of the united states supreme court. i can, however, do everything in MY power to MAKE AVAILABLE to my students the kind of education that brown vs. board promised them, the kind that EVERY CHILD deserves. this is, to me, the very heart of teach for america, and the very reason i am now proud to stand among the ranks of its corps.
an incredible young woman once told me to "continue setting the world on fire!" (ask me more about her — i would love to share her story.) her challenge has become one of the guiding tenets of my life, which is especially significant because she lost her own life a week before her twenty-first birthday. i like to think that wherever service is, there she is, too.
as i serve my future students in san jose for the next two years of my life, i am humbled to know that, along with my fellow corps members, i will have the chance to set the world on fire each and every day. simply put, i can't wait.

WASHINGTON (TNS) — The Trump administration's proposal to allow offshore oil and natural-gas drilling in federal waters off the Atlantic Coast could make 2018 an even tougher election year for Republicans in coastal states.
The long-awaited plan would reverse an Obama-era prohibition on offshore energy exploration and make good on a campaign promise by President Donald Trump to boost U.S. energy production. That much Republicans can cheer.
But the plan will also force a number of anxious, regional Republican candidates — already unsettled by predictions of a Democratic wave in the midterm elections — to either side with an unpopular president's industry-friendly proposal, or join coastal residents, businesses and environmental groups in opposing it.
"For members that have districts that are impacted, it will definitely be an issue," Rep. Mark Sanford, R-S.C., who represents a coastal district and opposes offshore drilling. "Geography will drive the politics here."
That political dynamic was in full effect on Thursday.
After Florida's Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson delivered a speech on the Senate floor opposing offshore drilling Wednesday, Florida's Republican Gov. Rick Scott, who is widely expected to seek Nelson's seat, broke months of silence on the issue, saying he too opposes drilling off Florida's coast.
"I have already asked to immediately meet with Secretary Zinke to discuss the concerns I have with this plan and the crucial need to remove Florida from consideration," Scott said in a statement. "My top priority is to ensure that Florida's natural resources are protected."
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said the proposed five-year plan from 2019-2024 would make more than 90 percent of the nation's Outer Continental Shelf acreage available for oil and gas leasing. Restrictions by the Obama administration currently make 94 percent of the continental shelf off limits to fossil fuel exploration.
The new plan's 47 potential lease sales would be the largest amount ever proposed in a five-year schedule, Zinke told reporters in an afternoon briefing. Nineteen potential lease sales would occur off the coast of Alaska, seven in the Pacific region, 12 in the Gulf of Mexico and nine in the Atlantic region off the East Coast. There have been no lease sales in the Atlantic since 1983.
Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., co-chair of the Atlantic Offshore Energy Caucus, applauded Trump's proposal and the jobs it could provide.
"I'm thrilled we finally have a president who shares my desire to responsibly open North Carolina to energy exploration and energy jobs while protecting our beautiful coastal waters," Hudson said in a statement. "I applaud this announcement and will continue to work to get North Carolina into the energy business to unlock good-paying energy jobs and strengthen our energy security."
Thursday's action was yet another effort to overturn an Obama administration policy decried by the GOP. Former President Barack Obama removed the Atlantic Ocean from the nation's five-year program for oil and gas development in March 2016 and later barred drilling in environmentally sensitive areas of the Atlantic from Virginia to Maine.
Both moves followed widespread opposition from local governments along the Eastern seaboard that feared oil and gas development would threaten local economies centered on tourism and commercial and recreational fishing.
But Trump signed an executive order in April that called for reversing the Obama-era prohibitions. Thursday's proposal formalizes Trump's "America-First Offshore Energy Strategy."
"Today's announcement lays out the options that are on the table and starts a lengthy and robust public comment period," Zinke said.
Diane Hoskins, campaign director at Oceana, said the group will push for field hearings in coastal towns where residents can express their feelings about the proposal. Similar hearings attended by hundreds of residents forced the Obama administration to reverse course on Atlantic drilling.
"So we fully anticipate the same thing is going to happen," Hoskins said. "If the Trump administration wants to come down here and listen to what the people of the Southeast think, they're going to get an earful."
Growing opposition to East Coast drilling has become a bipartisan issue. Along with Florida's Scott, Republican Govs. Larry Hogan of Maryland and Henry McMaster of South Carolina have joined Democratic governors from of North Carolina, Virginia and Delaware in their opposition to drilling and undersea seismic testing for oil and gas deposits.
In North Carolina, Kyle Horton, a Democrat, is running for the coastal 7th District congressional seat held by Republican Dave Rouzer, an outspoken supporter of offshore drilling. Horton said she will make the issue a central pillar of her campaign.
Horton, who lost a family member in the Deepwater Horizon spill in 2010, said Trump's plan could jeopardize an estimated $95 billion in ocean-related commerce on the Atlantic Coast and nearly 1.4 million jobs if a major accident occurred. In North Carolina, that could mean as many as 51,000 jobs and $2.2 billion in tourism and hospitality revenue, she said.
"The bottom line is you don't have to have my ties to the Deepwater Horizon to be deeply concerned about the safety of drilling and to understand the risk to our economy and our way of life," Horton said. "I am very concerned that where we've drilled, we've spilled. And where we've spilled, we've killed. Not just marine life, but workers," Horton said.

Guest Information
Episode Description
• What are considered to be legitimate interests as a basis for legal processing under GDPR? Context is a vital consideration. • What should organizations do with regard to "careful assessment" to determine whether or not a situation is considered to be a legitimate interest of the data controller to enable personal data processing? • What resources and guidance are available to help organizations to determine legitimate interests? • What do organizations struggle with most for this requirement? • How high are the fines for non-compliance? Tune in to hear Teresa Troester-Falk, Chief Global Privacy Strategist, Nymity, and Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna, EU Policy Counsel, Future of Privacy Forum, provide answers and discuss more GDPR requirements. We will also walk through some case studies for determining legitimate interests for processing, including a real-life IoT case study!

New Year, New You!
You're about to sit down to another plate of eggs and bacon, like you eat every day for breakfast, when it hits you: You just can't do this Whole30 eating thing anymore. You just want to sip on a large glass of cabernet and inhale a crisp bag of chips. (Anyone else out there hear me?!) Whether you're in the middle of Whole30, or you're 2 weeks into a healthier lifestyle, your motivation to press on is gone. So what do you do?
First of all, let me assure you that you are not alone. Participating in the Whole30 is the real deal. It takes preparation, persistence, support, and 30 days to complete!
Some of us at Pederson's are right there with you, and, in all honesty, we've had both good days and bad sticking to the challenge. You have to be disciplined – wherever you are. And, learning how to arm yourself early against all the foggy indecisiveness, craving indulgences, and everything else that may come with being right in the middle of your challenge is key to pressing forward and completing this sucker!
So here are some tips that we've gathered up from our first 14 days of 2018.
Re-visit the reason – Why did you choose to make these changes in your life in the first place? Was it to prove to yourself you could do it? To become a healthier version of yourself? Whatever the reason is, remember it, document it, and dig deep into the reason.
Get re-organized – You may have thought you were organized right before you started this journey, but were you really? Now is the perfect time to see what didn't work the first two weeks and change it up a little bit. This includes a more precise shopping list, listing meals that allow leftovers, and prepping each day.
Do the best YOU can do. – While we LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing all the pretty Instagram-worthy recipes, there's one thing that's not going to change: we make bacon. And we make good bacon taste great. (As well as other delicious No Sugar, Whole30 Approved products.) But, that's what we do. Yes, you may catch us drooling over all the BEAUTIFUL, perfectly crafted recipes on Instagram that we see rolling in, but that doesn't mean our plates look like that everyday, too. We're going to feed our body what it needs and likes the best. In our case, it's a lot of Pederson's Farms No Sugar products. Can I get an Amen?? 😉 Just remember, listen to your body. Power it up with what's good and best for it!
Our final encouragement is this: KEEP PRESSING ON. Even if you have fallen a meal or two, it's okay. Recommit yourself to a clear plan (or plate). It's never too late to recommit to a nourishing challenge that, in the end, will make you smile. It will still do you much good.
We've got 2 weeks to go. Let's press on!

Looks like summer is here and with summer comes change. People move out but then people move in.
Introducing you to our new neighbor up the street.
CoQ RougE Gallery is located at 4815 Magazine St.
Patricia Low is the owner/artist of CoQ RougE and her story is one that everyone dreams about. Well...I dream about!
Patricia, transplanted from California, many moons ago, where she majored in Fine Arts but after hearing all the "starving artist" stories about actually starving she decided to switch her major to graphic design.
However, working here in NOLA as a graphic artist did not stop her strong desire to create pieces of art, from painting...
|Picture by CoQ RougE
to her famous Voodoo Dolls...
After years of working in the industry and participating in local art markets in New Orleans she decided to follow her bliss and open her very own gallery.
Patricia filled this 200 square feet of space with local art from our sweet city of New Orleans. Here is just taste of what you will see.
And look at this cute thing.
|Picture by CoQ RougE
|Patricia working on her Oyster piece.
I do not know if you are wondering but I for one was curious as to why CoQ Rouge?
One reason is that she likes roosters. I should have figured that one out! LOL!
Annnnd as they say...
the rest is ancient history.
So...stop by and say, "Bonjour" to our new neighbor because...
"I'm HUGE
in NOLA"
