An Archive of Stones, to be periodically activated, speculated upon, damaged and finally gilded with fiction is a project which addresses the use and significance of stones in contemporary art, as well as their narrative or linguistic potential. Neither an exhibition nor a lecture in traditional terms, this project is, if anything, an archive that is meant to be activated through narrative, speculation and inevitably, misinterpretation. Intended to function not only as an interrogation, which is not so much exhaustive as it is comprehensive, of the use of stones in contemporary art, but also as an ad-hoc, ever changing ritual based on the reading of stones. Taking the most rudimentary, mute, supposedly meaningless and indigent objects of so-called pre-civilization, which have already been rendered strange through their transformation into objects of culture through art, the archive proposes to function as a language itself– a language whose signification and mode have yet to be determined. For instance, while this language could function in the most fundamental way, as in tools for every day living, gesturing, at best, new, if primitive forms, it could also be of a more divinatory or mystical order, depending on who uses it and how they do so.

Glycemic Index
Many are approaching your problem of weight loss with the hope that they are front in a logical manner. Some stay for awhile by the belief that are making its task in an appropriate manner. Very few have carried out the necessary training to give the best chance of success. There are some principles that are widely accepted as having any relevance, for example: * cut or significantly reduce animal fats, simple carbohydrates and processed food. * Add or increase, the consumption of fiber, complementary nutrients and water, which is the special liquid. For more specific information, check out endocrinologist. * Address of special circumstances, medical condition, allergic reactions, and the important demands of lifestyle. We see now in detail a little more. Reduce fat some argue that fat, especially animal fat is not a problem.
However, it is undisputed that the grease is loaded with calories and excessive calorie intake is not useful. Therefore significantly reduce animal fat, if you remove it by full is intelligent. Cut carbohydrates all carbohydrates are not the same thing. Some simple carbohydrates stimulate the body to produce too much insulin, which in turn stimulates the cells to store fat. High levels of sugar in the Glycemic Index (a measure of the effect of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels) will contribute significantly to this unwanted effect. Sugar sugar cut is simple uncarbohidrato and deserves a special mention. It has no virtually no nutritional value and in the best of cases will give you an energy boost that last bit. Choose more complex sugars, or even honey.
While honey can be considered as a simple sugar is known to possess other beneficial properties. Cut processed foods highly refined and processed foods?they are deficient in nutrients. Many of the elements tend to lose, including fiber and vitamins. But the most critical aspect may be undesirable as bleaches, emulsifiers, colouring matter, ingredients preservatives, etc.

I met Francis Chester, owner of Cestari Sheep and Wool, last spring at the TNNA Tradeshow in San Diego. I really liked the yarns he was producing and enjoyed talking to him and hearing his story about how he and his family got into the yarn business. In January I placed an order with Cestari and when this beautiful, rustic yarn arrived I new immediately that I had to knit a sweater with it.
I searched on Ravelry and fell in love with The New Treeline Cardigan by the Purl Bee, I especially loved Elly's beautiful version . I bought my yarn and began swatching. As I was knitting my swatch I noticed how lovely the stripes looked on the "wrong" side and made a decision to knit the sweater in reverse stockinette. With all those stripes going on I chose to skip the few stitches of ribbing that run along the front of the sweater where you pick up for the button band.
I was so excited to start this new project and the timing was perfect. For my 39th birthday my husband and I took a road trip to Whistler, B.C.; an ideal time to cast on my first sleeve. I was able to finish two sleeves that weekend ( I actually knit three sleeves, I had to rip one out because I forgot to switch to larger needles after the ribbed cuff, grrr!).
When I got home from vacation I started on the body of the sweater. The edges were rolling where the button bands would be but I carried on thinking that once the button bands were in place the rolling would stop; (remember how I chose NOT to do the few stitches of ribbing…). Every chance I got I worked on the sweater and was excited to be heading off to Squam soon, 8 hrs of knitting on a plane and then a finished sweater that could be photographed along the shores of Squam lake. When I arrived at Squam I noticed that my stitch count was off and spent my first evening there ripping back to where I joined my sleeves! So disappointing! My classes at Squam were wonderful but I was so distracted with my unfinished sweater, all I wanted to do was finish it. Unfortunately, the sweater was not completed at Squam but I did get to try it on and have my friend and cabin-mate, Karen Templer, snap a few photos. The sweater was a little snug but fit well even though the fronts were still rolling.

My flight from Manchester to Seattle was delayed by a few hours so I was able to get a lot of knitting done. By the time my plane touched down in Seattle I was almost ready to bind off. After 11 hours of knitting, my fingers and wrists were tired but I was thrilled!
The next day I completed the sweater, washed it and layed it in the warm sun to dry.
I love it! I love the yarn and love the pattern. I love that it was knit from coast to coast. I love it even though there are a few things I might do differently next time.
So what would I do differently? For starters I would go up in a needle size for a slightly lighter fabric (although, with wear, the fabric is starting to relax) and I would not ignore the few stitches of ribbing. The button band does have a tendency to curl but it is also relaxing over time.

On Thursday, Selena Gomez revealed on Instagram that recently had to undergo a kidney transplant operation because of lupus. The singer posted an image of herself in a hospital bed, holding the hand of her friend (and kidney donor) Francia Raisa, explaining that the procedure is why she has been lying low most of the summer.
Gomez first opened up about her battle against the serious illness back in October 2015, after she took some time off from music to go through chemotherapy. Since then, the former Disney star has also spoken out about the depression, anxiety, and panic she has apparently suffered as a side effect of lupus, which she says prompted her to check into a psychiatric facility in Tennessee last summer.
In her new Instagram post, Gomez wrote that she had been out of the spotlight for part of the summer (presumably after appearing at the Met Gala in May with her boyfriend, the Weeknd) because of her kidney issues. That's why, the Coach collaborator noted, she hasn't been promoting her new music, although she said she feels "extremely proud of" it. Gomez wrote in her caption:
So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery.
As for Raisa, Gomez wrote that her friend had given her the "ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney." She went on to say, "I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis."

HONOLULU – Hawaii Gov. David Ige has formally requested a presidential disaster declaration as Tropical Storm Olivia gets closer to the islands.
The declaration asks President Donald Trump to declare the State of Hawaii a major disaster in the event that heavy rains and wind from Olivia cause significant damage and losses.
The governor is asking for direct federal support from Department of Defense assets for strategic airlift between the islands; temporary power generation at evacuation centers; technical assistance related to points of distribution and debris management action planning.
In addition, the governor is asking for immediate access to federal resources for search and rescue, potential medical evacuations, mass care and sheltering commodities and additional temporary power generation capabilities.
Ige also signed a memorandum granting state employees on the islands of Maui, Lanai and Molokai administrative leave as the state prepares for severe weather. State offices on Maui, Lanai and Molokai will be closed on Sept. 12.
However, state employees who fall into one of the following categories are required to report to work, unless it is determined that the employee can be excused — departmental disaster/emergency coordinators, disaster response workers, and employees whose work involves continuing crucial operations/services, such as hospital workers and correctional workers.
All public schools and Hawaii State Department of Education offices in Maui County will be closed Wednesday, and afters-chool activities remain canceled for Maui, Molokai and Lanai. All other schools statewide will be open Wednesday.
"In order to give our families on Maui, Molokai and Lanai time to prepare, and with the early release time on Wednesday, we will be closing all Maui County schools and offices in anticipation of the storm's arrival," said Superintendent Dr. Christina Kishimoto. "We appreciate everyone's patience during this time as we work with our partner agencies to monitor the storm, and we will continue to make decisions based on the safety and well-being of our students and staff."
The Hawaii Department of Transportation is preparing for potential impacts to state routes on Maui and is focusing on pre-staging plans for Hana Highway (Route 360).
HDOT responded to over a dozen landslide and tree fall events on Hana Highway between Aug. 23 and 28, and urges those unfamiliar with the route to avoid the area. A variable message sign will be posted in the Twin Falls area (approximately Mile Marker 2) to warn motorists of the potential for landslides. The VMS may be removed if it cannot be anchored to avoid causing potential threats in high winds.
HDOT continues to coordinate with federal, state, and county officials in preparation for Tropical Storm Olivia.

cwick (Chadwick Matlin, deputy editor): Now that I have spent the last 10 minutes making sure I know how to spell Mönchengladbach, I am eager to convene today's gathering of the best soccer brains on the internet. We're taking a break from the English Premier League this week to discuss the Champions League, which starts again Feb. 16. There are 16 teams remaining, and is it just me or are the matchups pretty enticing for a Round of 16?
grace (Grace Robertson, FiveThirtyEight contributor and author of the Grace on Football newsletter): Yeah, this feels relatively stacked.
Who's the most chaotic fictional football coach? | FiveThirtyEight
ryan (Ryan O'Hanlon, FiveThirtyEight contributor and author of the No Grass in the Clouds newsletter): When no one is good … everyone is good?
tchow (Tony Chow, video producer): Feels like the round of 16 in the Champions League never disappoints but that's probably just because you're desperate to be done with the group stages. But yeah, there are some pretty great matchups this year.
grace: Coronaball aside, Champions League knockout stages are consistently the best games I watch all year, so I'm excited.
cwick: So let's spend our time talking about the juiciest of those matchups, starting with …
BARCELONA vs PSG
cwick: Two storied sides, two new coaches since their previous Champions League campaigns, two teams in third place in their respective leagues. Barcelona has a 67 percent chance of moving on, according to FiveThirtyEight's model. What should people be watching for?
grace: Whether PSG Coach Mauricio Pochettino has had enough time and buy-in to develop a specific plan for this, or whether it's just gonna be about who has the best individuals on the day.
ryan: It's sort of soccer's version of Mahomes vs. Brady, with Mbappé vs. Messi.
cwick: What's Kylian Mbappé's version of Mahomes's impossible sidearm throw to the end zone?
ryan: Trying to beat Barcelona without Neymar or Angel Di Maria?
tchow: This first leg gets clouded a bit cause Neymar won't be playing. Otherwise, Neymar playing against his former club would be the story.
grace: Barça, for all its troubles, has the best xG difference in La Liga, per FBRef. They're in better shape than many assume.
ryan: I feel like we're underselling this. IT IS MBAPPÉ VS. MESSI!
[637 International Club Soccer Teams, Ranked]
grace: With Neymar out, I wonder if the smart play might be for PSG to get grindy and just hit Barça on the counter with Mbappé.
ryan: Barcelona has struggled against pace in the Champions League for what seems like forever. Even without the two main guys to get him the ball, Mbappé is the ultimate pace problem (in addition to everything else that makes him so great).
cwick: Last year we spent a whole chat sorting through Barcelona's mess, and how it could right its ship. Yet now it is way above PSG in FiveThirtyEight's SPI metric. So is it righted?
ryan: I think it's righted — for now. It has the best xG differential in La Liga, Lionel Messi is back to being Messi, Antoine Griezmann actually looks alive, Frenkie de Jong is starting to come good on his potential. But beyond this season? Yikes.
For example:
grace: It's "righted" in the same way as the train line in China that works on a pirated version of Adobe Flash. Nonetheless, I'd put it as slight favorites here. It's basically kind of stable for the time being.
ryan: PSG also hasn't looked like the totally dominant PSG of previous seasons. There's a legit title race going on in Ligue 1. Toss in the injuries to Neymar and Di Maria, and I'm with Grace (and SPI).
grace: It's a question of whether Pochettino can pull a rabbit out of a hat.
tchow: I wouldn't be so sure though. Barcelona is also dealing with some injuries of its own and its defense has been pretty spotty. I think Grace and Ryan have the right game plan for Poch though. Barcelona has the highest possession and is the highest passing team left in the Champions League. Just let it have the ball and hope to hit it on the counter.
ATLETICO MADRID vs. CHELSEA
cwick: OK, to Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid vs. Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea. We spoke about this match a bit during our last chat and how interesting the tactics will be as Tuchel figures out how to beat Simeone's fortress. Our model has it basically even, with Chelsea slight favorites at 56 percent. The match has been moved to a neutral location in Bucharest because of European COVID-19 travel rules. Does that sort of thing matter right now?
ryan: I think it matters a tiiiiiny bit on the margins; you lose whatever percentage of home-field advantage comes from getting to stay at home.
grace: I think it matters more than it might because Spain and the UK both have not insignificant travel times to Romania.
ryan: Probably doesn't matter in enough of an asymmetrical way for us to really worry about it in terms of projecting the outcome.
tchow: So you think Atletico Madrid will win too?
ryan: If this one ends 0-0 after 180 minutes, I would not be shocked.
[Will A New Manager Matter For Chelsea?]
grace: I can see a scenario where Callum Hudson-Odoi breaks a record for most touches at right wing back while he's the only person in space against Atleti's compact block.
tchow: I will fully admit that a Hudson-Odoi RWB transformation and a revitalized Marcos Alonso was not what I predicted under a Tuchel Chelsea.
ryan: Chelsea has morphed into an uber-possession-heavy-bad-shots team under Tuchel so far. That's the worst kind of team to be to break down Atleti. At the same time, Atleti is generating the fewest non-penalty xG per game of any of the non-Porto teams left in the tournament.
grace: I can see how Tuchel might go about it, stretching the play with the wing backs to break down Simeone's style, but I just don't think it'll already be as well-drilled on it as it'd like to be.
tchow: It's just tough for me to see Chelsea beating this Atletico Madrid team over two legs. Everyone is familiar with Simeone's defense but that system this season is formidable thanks to an extremely effective striker in Luis Suárez. I'm sure people think Atletico leading La Liga has more to do with Real Madrid and Barça struggling but I don't really think that's fair.
cwick: FiveThirtyEight's model, which has Barcelona and Real Madrid as better teams than Atleti, disagrees.
ryan: It's sort of tricky. It's wildly over-shooting its xG on both ends of the field so far this year and is on the verge of walking away with La Liga. Simeone's teams always tend to overperform the models, but not like this. It's probably not as good as its record.
grace: In the numbers, Atleti is kind of the same as ever. Last year it was fighting for top four and this time it's a favorite for the title, because the football gods decided thus.
cwick: If there were any player I could see making a blood sacrifice to appease the football gods, it'd be Luis Suárez.
ryan: Are we sure he hasn't done that already, like, at least three times?
tchow: I'm positive that's already happened. You don't bite people for no reason.
grace: He didn't do it one time and it ended with Liverpool blowing the league title, so he's made sure to do it every time since.
ryan: He's waiting until Atleti has mathematically clinched La Liga this time.
LIVERPOOL vs. RB LEIPZIG
cwick: Speaking of, let's talk about a foundering Liverpool side. As I mentioned — and was laughed at for mentioning! — a few chats ago, it needs help scoring goals! And it's going up against an RB Leipzig side that is best in the Bundesliga at preventing good looks for their opponents, judging by xGA. FiveThirtyEight gives Liverpool a 62 percent chance at moving on.
tchow: Honestly shocked we didn't start with this matchup but maybe that says all you need to say about how Liverpool fans feel about the state of their club at the moment. As a neutral observer, though, this is one of the most enticing matchups in my opinion. I have no idea what will happen.
ryan: I think this is a pretty good matchup for Liverpool. It has no center backs, and RBL's leading goal-scorer in the Bundesliga+Champions League is a fullback.
tchow: This might sound ridiculous but is it possible that RB Leipzig has the best fullback in this matchup? Angeliño has been ridiculous. (Man City's Angeliño, I might add.)
grace: Leipzig has been really good and, as Chadwick mentions, uncharacteristically great on the defensive side. Liverpool has needed to find a way to get higher up the pitch somehow, and having its new center backs should help? Even if they're center backs who have never played for the club.
I feel fairly confident that Liverpool would take a draw in the first leg if offered right now, then try to better integrate this new look defense before the second leg in a few weeks.
ryan: I still don't really understand how RBL is doing what it's doing. It's getting goals from basically every position in the starting 11; no one else has more than four in the league. Might work well over a long season, but these matches so often get decided by a couple of individual moments, and RBL just doesn't really seem to have a guy set up do that. Liverpool has a bunch.
cwick: To Tony's point, though, it does feel like this is a lost Liverpool season regardless of what comes next. Does it have any chance in the Champions League even if it makes it past Leipzig?
tchow: All you Liverpool fans have already won one recently. Now you're just getting greedy.
ryan: It absolutely could win another! SPI rates it as the fourth-best team in Europe right now, and that sounds about right.
cwick: Which really gets at this "nobody is good this year" idea.
[Liverpool Can't Buy A Goal, And Its Title Defense Is On The Ropes]
grace: Liverpool isn't worse in terms of xG from last season, but variance has swung hard in the negative direction. It could absolutely break for it in the Champions League knockouts. This sport is definitely stupid enough for that to happen.
cwick: Depends on its blood sacrifices.
ryan: The Virgil Van Dijk sacrifice was more than sufficient, imo.
tchow: It is the Lunar New Year today and it is the Year of the Ox. Maybe Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's being on the team means it's in the cards for Liverpool.
cwick: It's very fashionable to be AOC right now.
grace: Jürgen Klopp has noted left-wing views, that's why he signed AOC.
ryan: I wonder if he'll use Liverpool's Green, New defenders after signing them each to a Deal.
What makes LeBron James so great | FiveThirtyEight
DORTMUND vs. SEVILLA
cwick: OK, on to Dortmund vs Sevilla. A lower-tier matchup but, uncharacteristically, we haven't heard Ryan talk about Erling Haaland in a while. FiveThirtyEight has it basically even, with Dortmund slightly favored. Is this a weaker Dortmund side than last year, when it lost to PSG in the round of 16 but finished second in Bundesliga?
grace: Borussia Dortmund — a team no one would guess has the best xG difference in the Bundesliga!
ryan: FBref just released a cool new player-scouting tool and it sums up Erling Haaland perfectly. He runs into the penalty area and then he shoots — and that's it:
cwick: is that not what a striker is supposed to do??
ryan: That's why he's so good! Keep it simple, stupid. Also, imagine if he figures out how to do all the other stuff.
tchow: I think this is both a weaker and more unstable Dortmund side than last year. It's sixth in the Bundesliga right now and has also just gone through another manager firing. But Haaland in the Champions League is something else entirely. On the other hand, this Sevilla team did just beat Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal so…..
grace: Haaland does his one thing better than anyone in the world, Jadon Sancho is having an underwhelming year but it's still a great year by anyone else's standards. Giovanni Reyna is coming along nicely. Jude Bellingham looks legit. Youssoufa Moukoko could be the next Haaland, if such a thing is even possible.
ryan: Dortmund seems like a legit darkhorse pick to me. It's declined a little bit since firing Lucien Favre, but it's super-talented and it's way better than what the Bundesliga table suggests.
grace: Sevilla, on the other hand, I'm just not sure is all that. Dortmund has had a meh year but with upside, Sevilla less so.
ryan: Sevilla is just so … meh. They're averaging 1.5 goals per game in league play — worst of the remaining teams.
tchow: From a roster standpoint, Dortmund seems to have all the necessary weapons. Is Edin Terzić the right (caretaker) manager to put all those pieces together, though?
ryan: Roberto Di Matteo did it with a much worse team!
grace: He's been around Dortmund for a while without ever being the guy it's turned to before. Look, every third person on the street in Germany is a genius tactical thinker, but I don't see a huge reason to think Terzic is particularly special.
ryan: He might not need to be, though. Dortmund's talent is that good. I wouldn't pick it to win, but it's capable of knocking off anyone in the field.
tchow: You don't have to score a lot of goals if you also don't let in goals. Isn't that how football works?
ryan: My favorite zen koan: It's easier to win when you score more than one goal.
[The Mewis Sisters Are Playing Soccer Together Again. This Time, It's At The Highest Level.]
grace: Tony favors the José Mourinho tactical approach.
tchow: That's the rudest thing you've ever said about me.
cwick: We're running out of time and Tony has a Lunar New Year's dinner to attend to. Of the four remaining matchups, two are likely to be blowouts: Manchester City vs. Mönchengladbach and Bayern Munich vs. Lazio. So, take your pick of which to discuss: Juventus vs. Porto or Atalanta vs. Real Madrid?
tchow: We gotta do Atalanta, no?
ryan: Obviously.
grace: Porto isn't very good this year so Atalanta-Real.
ATALANTA vs. REAL MADRID
tchow: Atalanta is the unofficial club of FiveThirtyEight soccer chats.
grace: It traditionally is, but the team has been kind of … not quite itself this year?
tchow: Yes, Grace, but we can't just ditch the club cause it's having an off year.
tchow: I have this hypothesis that last year's Atalanta squad could beat this season's Real Madrid in this matchup.
cwick: Tony always trying to find the time travel angle.
grace: This was supposed to be the year Atalanta tightened up, but it just seems to have shaved a bit off the attack without adding defensive solidity.
ryan: It's funny. Real and Atalanta have pretty much exactly the same goal-differential in league play this year: plus-0.9 per game.
[Sue Bird And Megan Rapinoe Have Gotten Better Together]
grace: I'm just bored of this Real team. It's the same players under the same manager doing a lot of the same stuff and it's just getting dull.
ryan: It got walloped by City last year and really wasn't too impressive in the group stages this season. SPI doesn't love Atalanta — shame on you, algorithm — but I see this as a 50-50 matchup.
tchow: It would be one thing if it was doing the same stuff and it was working. But it's been so inconsistent this season. It ended up winning Group B but it was a lot closer than it should've been. I think having Eden Hazard in and out of the lineup this season certainly doesn't help and he's gonna miss this first leg against Atalanta.
ryan: Sergio Ramos is likely out for both games, too. Atalanta seriously might have the two best players in this matchup: Duvan Zapata and gangly ole Josip Iličić.
grace: The year is 2030 and Karim Benzema is still Real Madrid's top scorer.
tchow: And Luka Modrić is still its No. 10.

Famously shot on location in West Norfolk, and set against the backdrop of the American War of Independence, this film divided the critics on release.

Your Value Strategy should include three components:
- 1. Establish the current value of your business today.
- 2. Determine the future value of your business based on your dream scenario (also known as your exit strategy).
- 3. Create an operational plan to optimize and then capture the maximum value within your designated timeframe.

Main Article Content
The current national park management did not fully take into account the sustainability of socio cultural benefits, particularly for indigenous communities. Therefore the park's performance achievement on the aspect of socio cultural required to be assessed by using tested management standards. The research objectives were: (1) to measure the actual verifier and assess the indicators formulated by the Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation and Bogor Agricultural University in Gunung Halimun Salak National Park (GHSNP), (2) to analyze the validity of management performance indicators of GHSNP (3) to measure the achievement of each indicator based on a minimum standard of performance, and (4) to formulate recommendations for improving management standards. The results showed that: (1) the actual value of management performance indicators for GHSNP was good for one indicator and fair for four indicators. There were four indicators that could not be measured and assessed; (2) eight of the nine indicators which have been tested in the field were valid; (3) the achievement of performance indicators for GHSNP management on the principle of socio-cultural sustainability has achieved its minimum values; and (4) the standard management of national park should be completed because field results showed that, there were difficulties measuring the verifiers and assessing the indicators. This research found that there were inconsistency on the terminology used in the standards, lack of operational definition, difficulty in using the norm, and verifier inappropriate with actual condition.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reportedly went out to Windsor yesterday afternoon after they and the Duke of Sussex wrapped up the day's engagements, according to multiple outlets. Their children didn't join them, though a few articles note that they plan to introduce them to Archie when he's a little older. The visit apparently lasted over an hour.
According to Katie Nicholl for Vanity Fair, the relationship between the two couples is on the mend now that Harry and Meghan have moved from Nottingham Cottage to Frogmore Cottage. Per the article:
Aides say that relations between the onetime "Fab Four" have improved in recent weeks. and that both couples want the royal cousins to grow up to be close. "Things have been a lot better since Harry and Meghan moved out of KP, it has given them all some space," says a source close to the brothers, referring to the couple's decision to leave Kensington Palace for their house at Windsor Castle earlier this year.
Meanwhile there's no official word on how long a maternity leave Meghan will take, but the general consensus is that she'll return to work in October and likely pop up for a handful of big events over the summer. We're almost certain to see her at Trooping the Colour next month, while it remains to be seen if she'll turn up for other seasonal anchors like Wimbledon, Ascot or Garter Day.
Harry, meanwhile, has continued carrying out previously schedule engagements, but is expected to take at least a brief paternity leave in the next couple weeks.
Which is just as well because he and Meghan reportedly haven't hired any staff yet. They're expected to hire a nanny closer to when Meghan returns to work, but in the meantime they're without a housekeeper or chef, etc. as they settle into their new home. This isn't particularly groundbreaking – William and Kate followed a similar template when they were living in Wales, and they also delayed hiring a full-time nanny until Prince George was a couple months old.
There's also speculation that Harry and Meghan intend to raise Archie as a "private citizen." I'm not sure that's really news since that was incredibly apparent by their decision to forgo all courtesy titles for their son, but a few royal reporters continue to be upset a birth certificate hasn't been released yet (thus allowing them to confirm whether or not Meghan gave birth at home or in a hospital). I think this is much ado about nothing – the couple presented Archie to photographers within 48 hours of his birth, and we'll likely see him again courtesy of his christening.
As for whether the Sussexes will release official photos of him around milestones such the Cambridges do, I don't know, but thanks to Cambridges we've been through this all before. We saw George very sparingly in the early days, and if you compare access to him with how frequently we've seen Prince Louis in the last year, it's night and day. The Sussexes will figure out their comfort level as time goes in and it's worth remembering that it's only been a week(!)

It hasn't been a good year for foldable phones. We thought it was going to be a great one with Samsung and Huawei coming to market with their own foldable devices. Samsung famously had to postpone the launch of the Galaxy Fold after numerous test units failed and now Huawei is having problems of its own. It says that it now won't meet its September launch date.
The revelation came at a press event in China with Tech Radar getting the lowdown. Huawei apparently says that there is "no possibility" of the Mate X being able to meet its launch window in September. That's its second launch window, by the way. It was originally slated to be released in June.
While Tech Radar doesn't have the details as to why the delay has come about, Huawei does seem to be sure that the phone will arrive sooner rather than later. All it's saying right now is that it will come out in 2019, although that isn't filling us with confidence one bit.
Samsung went back to the drawing board with its Galaxy Fold and promises to now release it next month. This comes after revisions were made to the display and folding mechanism in an attempt to prevent a repeat of the failed screens that we saw when press got their hands on devices a few months ago.
None of this is particularly likely to inspire anyone to buy a foldable phone, at least not initially. Our recommendation would be to hold off picking one up for now, assuming the Galaxy Fold or Mate X ever find their way into stores.

Cycling: Tour de Yorkshire cancelled in 2021
LONDON (Reuters) - Next year's Tour de Yorkshire event has has been cancelled because of continued uncertainty about the COVID-19 pandemic, organisers announced on Wednesday.
This year's race at the end of April was also cancelled.
James Mason, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire who organise the event along with Tour de France owners Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), explained the early decision.
"During these uncertain times Welcome to Yorkshire need to focus on the immediate needs of the industry without committing both financial and human resources towards any activity or event that we cannot be certain of," Mason said.
"Whilst it is very disappointing that we will be bereft of this wonderful race for another year the decision we have made it the right one and perhaps the only one we could make."
The multi-stage race, which attracts the world's top teams and riders and also thousands of amateurs for a sportive over the hilly roads, will hold its next edition in 2022.
"We will collectively do our best to re-launch the event in 2022 and give the chance to the world's best riders to be on the Yorkshire roads in front of one of the most enthusiastic audiences the cycling world has ever seen," Yann le Moenner, director general of ASO said in a statement.
The event came into being after the hugley successful Grand Depart of the 2014 Tour de France in Yorkshire.

Killer of fallen patriot Aaron "Jay" Danielson was killed in shootout with US Marshals and local Sheriff's deputies. "Michael Reinoehl Dead," Heavy reports.
He had been interviewed by Vice prior to his death (the police scanner mentions the shooter from Portland, at the time of writing this I hadn't seen verification outside of news sources like statements from law enforcement), and claimed he shot Danielson because he was protecting his friend from being stabbed.
I found that to be quite interesting, considering the video shows the victim walking away before being called out as a Trump supporter, then upon turning around was shot in the chest (apparently through his mace which explains the gunshot and simultaneous puff of what looked like smoke). The whole incident was very odd if you watch the vehicles in the area and the camera man's lack of any physical reaction to the sudden gunshots (i.e. jumping or dropping to take cover).
When Reinoehl decided to do the interview, I wonder if he realized that by claiming he shot Danielson in self defense he was giving an open admission of being the shooter.
Other than that, if the District Attorney of Oregon didnt play catch and release with these people, they both might still be alive today. Reinoehl was cited July 5th for having a loaded gun while resisting arrest at a BLM riot, and subsequently charges were dropped before the end of the month, and then the July 26th he tried to wrestle a gun from someone and got himself shot in the arm. He spent zero time in jail and didnt get so much as a ticket for either incident.
Less than a month before that he was caught street racing at speeds over 110 mph with his minor son (in nice cars for a communist snowboard instructor- Cadillac and Subaru), while both were under the influence, with his young daughter riding shotgun. If he had to do time in jail for his award winning parenting, he and Jay Danielson would possibly be alive today.
Not very much information available yet on this story. I'm sure the Leftist Mainstream Media will twist him into another martyr, but to be perfectly honest there is a chance he was too white for the Leftists to bring that type of attention to.

To run Firefly in parallel you need libraries of IntelMPI which are located in "lib"
directory, which itself is a subdirectory of the IntelMPI package.
You should afford Firefly the (full) path to those libraries. For that
use either export or setenv depending on your shell environment:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=here-put-the-path-to-the-libraries:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or with setenv
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH Ā Āhere-put-the-path-to-the-libraries
*Be aware that you IntelMPI libraries are compiled in 32 bit!

Eva Longoria, an ardent supporter of Obama tells us that it is a huge mistake to vote for a misogynist such as Mitt Romney. And what are Eva's credentials and standing in the political arena? She got her degree in kinesiology from some podunk college in Texas. Kinesiology? That's the study of basically 'working out.' Eva has spent her entire life working on herself, practicing yoga and pilates, emerging herself in the world of cosmetics and body image all the while promoting one and only one person: herself, Eva Longoria. And now she tries to come across as someone who cares about others. That's quite a stretch, much like Ghengis Khan, who was a master of wiping out populations deciding he needs to spread himself out a bit and seek a gig in the nursing profession.
Fading singing star Cher Bono is the poster child for the leftists who call all conservatives idiots, while she herself dropped out of high school to pursue her singing career. Recall, she's the one who called Harvard MBA grad George W. Bush 'stupid.' That's like Michael Moore calling supermodel Twiggy 'fatso.' It just doesn't quite resonate with anyone with even one ounce of intelligence.
Ditto the resume of Barbara Streisand. She is a radical whacko lefty, who scolds Democrat office holders constantly for not going further to the crazy left. Babs dropped out of high school to hit the nightclub circuit as a singer. I also recall her labeling Dubya as an idiot, much akin to the emaciated has-been pop singer Billy Idol calling the hulking body builder Lou Ferigno a weakling.
These Hollywood morons have absolutely no standing in the poltical arena. None whatsoever. All of these stupid Hollywood types should stick to what they do best: look good on TV and on the big screen. Leave the important conversations to those of us who actually took the time to inform ourselves on the issues of the day.

Innovation in the OpenClinica community occurs on many different levels and in many places around the world. The 2012 OpenClinica Conference earlier this week brought together a diverse group of clinical and IT professionals to share first-hand a lot of the innovative, cutting-edge work being done within our community. Mobile, compliance, best practices, SAS, were all key themes at this year's event. I was very encouraged by the growing enthusiasm for OpenClinica, and came a way more excited than ever about our collective ability to positively transform clinical research.
Here are some photos on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/2012-OpenClinica-Conference/228070113945322
Thanks to everyone for helping to make the 2012 OpenClinica Conference the best yet!

PSA are in allegiance with the American Nicaraguan Foundation, set up by philanthropists Don Alfredo Pellas and his wife Theresita. The Foundation operates a range of projects in Nicaragua supporting impoverished communities across the country, with 120 workers taking on the Foundation's main objective: to alleviate poverty. It covers a local school, orphanage and medical centre, and is one of the country's biggest suppliers of medicine, ensuring supplies reach small, rural hospitals. This is an incredible cause and we welcome you to experience and be involved in the work the foundation does during your holiday to Nicaragua.
The charity has a particular focus on Nandaime, a town next to Nekupe Lodge, where we always recommend our clients spend a few days. The American Nicaraguan Foundation has done significant work with the local community here; they are devout Catholics and are building a church in the village so that the community do not have to walk miles to find a place to pray. They have also built wells and a whole new area of housing with aluminium roofs (as opposed to mud), in order to protect the local residents against the severe rains they experience throughout the months of September & October. From Nekupe, a lodge that offers adventure and relaxation in a beautiful setting, you can get involved in the ANF's local projects as much or as little as you please. Many of the proceeds from Nekupe's tourism operation go towards the ANF and you can learn more about this during your stay.

Ache Records
Hot Hot Heat / The Red Light Sting split 12" LP
Year: 2000
Artworking, Design, Pre-Press
Sometimes you forget that you contributed a hand in a monumental, landmark release. Going back way into the archives I decided to render what remaining files I had for this release to present in the archives. The Hot Hot Heat / The Red Light Sting split LP was released in Y2K on Vancouver's Ache Records and put Canadian new wave/synth punk on the map. Hot Hot Heat only a few years later rocketed to naughties fame with a run of albums they released on the famous SubPop label and later major labels Sire and Warner Brothers. At the time it was all the product of a local scene, and I was one of the few graphic designers with the tools to put it all together. This design was produced within my first couple of years designing for proper releases and I'm still proud of it to this day.

While being on summer break, I am posting pictures from our classroom from this past year. It's been nice to look back on some of the activities we did, and to start thinking of new ideas for next year!
My Piggy Bank
This activity was so fun to do with the money stamps (from Scholar's Choice). Students can use the stamps to fill their piggy bank and then count the coins they used. This activity is part of my Easy Print and Prep pack:
Geo-Board Letters
Our students love using geo-boards, and these task cards were the perfect way to integrate literacy into the activity. You can find them from Play to Learn Preschool.
Roll and Stack Sight Words
Another fun, play-based sight word center that can be used throughout the whole school year! Students have to roll the die, then stack the sight word cups, then repeat! Our students kept rolling and stacking until their towers fell down!
Salt Trays
Another activity that can be re-used all year. The salt is put in these containers, and then you can put the tops on and store them until you are ready to use them again. When we took out the salt trays this time, we encouraged students to write sight words or make pictures. Our students love this!
Do you have a favourite activity that you did with your students this past year?

Brighton Pier is good for fresh doughnuts - or was the last time I was there!ReplyDelete

Oh dear I do believe you just convinced me to do a donut run before work !ReplyDelete
Happy Canada Day to you :) Your Emily is very talented, doughnuts are not that easy.ReplyDelete
We actually have paczki i.e. round doughnuts (without a hole, but with rose hip jam) and we think of them as traditionally Polish ;) We eat heaps on Fat Thursday.

I have never made doughnuts before but I love them. In Greece they're not very common but I can get used to anything this delicious!ReplyDelete

looks yummo - a talent there - Happy Canada day to you!ReplyDelete
Mmmmm donuts !ReplyDelete
Happy (belated) Canada day! I found a doughnut on my walk on Monday - swallowed it whole before 'she' noticed what I was up to. I don't think the boy who left it on the grass while he was playing hide and seek was best pleased though - he spragged on me and I had to wear my lead all the way home...with a tummy full of doughnut - bliss!ReplyDelete
How did I miss this delicious post?!ReplyDelete

Why hand-wired amps?
What makes hand-wired amps different than those with circuit boards? Not having trace circuits allows us to install tone in the amp at the bench. We can tweak and fine tune the sound as we go, or if need be, we can easily change parts without destroying the board or the wires. Hand drilled eyelets allow us to use full-size capacitors and resistors that add depth of tone with which circuit boards cannot compete. The point to point wiring affords some wires to stay away from one another while allowing proximity to others enhancing the sound resulting in Amps That Sing!
We snapped a few quick shots of boards yesterday while they were being cut and again today while they were being wired to show you their individuality and (we think) beauty.
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

The internet can be dangerous and scary. We've seen the lists of ideas for better cybersecurity. The problem is, the tips aren't helpful unless we act on them.
We know we should use long passwords and change them regularly. But do we?
Here are three reasons to encourage you to make yourself safer from cyber scammers and hackers, followed by four tips to put into action.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. Bad things really can happen on the internet. A smooth-talking con artist on the other end of the phone can charm or bully you into revealing your Social Security number or credit card number, or malware can monitor your keyboard and capture your password to your favorite website. Criminals use this information to access your credit cards and bank accounts, especially if you use the same password for multiple accounts.
Make a plan you will act on. Think about what's on your computer or smartphone that you don't want to lose or give away. Keeping that top of mind can help motivate you to take steps to prevent you from being a victim of cyberattacks.
Maybe you know you won't keep track of different passwords on all your internet-connected devices, but you are more likely to regularly update a strong password on the server in your home. That can be a good option if all your connections come through that one point of entry.
The time is now. Experts warn of a triple-threat these days. First, scammers are taking advantage of COVID-19 uncertainty, from offering phony cures and tests to promises of financial assistance. Second, with more people working from home due to social distancing, there may be fewer office-based security measures in place. Third, the FBI warns that increased use of mobile banking offers more chances for cybercrime.
October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which can be a great time to act on this year's theme, "Do your part, #BeCyberSmart—If You Connect It, Protect It."
Here are four cybersecurity tips to keep you safe.
Use strong passwords and change them regularly. Many sites and apps make changing your password easy to do by clicking on the "forgot your password" link. The best passwords are at least eight characters and include different types of characters. Try using a memorable verse from your favorite song and adding a few numbers and special characters ($ ! _ &) or even a space.
If you are like most people, remembering all your passwords is a challenge. Choose a security option based on the value of what you're protecting. The options to secure your bank and retirement account passwords might be different than how you store your social media passwords. Password apps keep them in one place and may be a great option for some passwords, but you can be in big trouble if you forget the password that lets you into that app.
Keeping passwords on paper in a notebook might be more secure than using the same password for everything, depending on how hidden that paper is from other people at the office or kids at home.
Install software updates. Apps and operating systems periodically send updates. Install them. They often include protections against the latest security threats.
But remember: Those updates come from the apps and not emails or social media notices. An email containing an update may be a scam. Instead of clicking on the link, go to the app's website to see if updates really are available.
Use two-factor authentication. That's just a fancy term for a technique that adds an extra layer of security to a password.
Banks increasingly use this system. When you try to connect with your bank, it may text a code number to your phone that you type in to complete the sign-in process for your account.
Answering a security question is similar to having a password. Both are something you know. That won't provide the same level of security as a second factor, which will be something you have, like your phone to receive a passcode, or something you are, like a biometric fingerprint—which is in addition to something you know, like a password or security question.
Think before you click. Be wary of any offer or link that comes through the internet, whether by email or social media, or even a phone call instructing you to get online.
Don't click on a link unless you know for certain what it is. Ideally, you should be expecting to receive the link.
Even emails from friends should be suspect. Hackers can impersonate someone you know to send a link or an attachment. Both can result in you downloading malware that can take control of your computer in ways you may not be able to detect. If you have any doubt—whether it's a link to a software update or an attachment to a funny cat video—call the person to find out if they really sent it.
To take advantage of the great promise of the internet, we must recognize the peril. These simple steps can keep you reasonably safe.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month
Connected devices are an integral part of how we communicate and access services essential to our well-being. Data collected from these devices can include highly specific information about a person or business, which can be exploited by bad actors for criminal gain.
National Cybersecurity Awareness Month is recognized each October. Weekly themes this year focus on understanding and following security hygiene for connected devices and home networks; maintaining the security of connected devices for remote workers; the pivotal role connected devices play in the future of health care; and the overall future of connected devices.
If everyone does their part—implementing stronger security practices, raising community awareness, educating vulnerable audiences and training employees—our interconnected world will be safer for everyone.

At home, it was Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Chopin, while at nursery school, it was the likes of Elvis Costello, T. Rex and Grace Jones. She still remembers the thrill of discovering the radio dial at the age of six, and would listen to everything from pop, rock, dance and Motown, to funk, soul and reggae, then later, indie, hip-hop and jazz. Learning to play the piano and flute (both to Grade 8), as well as ballet, brought her even closer to the sensibilities of music.
It was at the age of 15, while in a discothèque in Tunisia, that for a brief moment DJ Aïcha's life stopped spinning. A sound, more funky and brilliant than she'd ever heard before, removed the ground from beneath her feet and catapulted her into a new musical galaxy. It was Khaled's "Didi". She now left the well-trodden path of Anglophone music behind. Upon returning to London, she would go to several gigs a week, from Manu Dibango to the Art Ensemble of Chicago to Hermeto Pascoal. After the channel tunnel was built, she would often travel to Paris to get hold of the latest releases by Algerian, African and French pop artists.
She obtained a degree in Media Studies & Communication from the University of Westminster, which culminated in a thesis entitled The Songs We Didn't Hear – the reasons behind and impact of European radio music policies. From 1998 to 2004, she contributed to Charlie Gillett's Saturday Night show on BBC London. since 2002. From 2005 to 2012, she worked for Sveriges Radio as co-producer, together with Lennart Wretlind, of the acclaimed programme Klingan and the online global jukebox SR Världen. In 2012, Klingan was awarded Stora Radiopriset by Radioakademin. She has also compiled exclusive albums for Nascente/Demon Music Group. In 2013, she started Music for Museums, an enterprise that designs soundtracks for museum exhibitions and cultural spaces.
She lives in Stockholm, Sweden, from where she is tuned into the sounds from around the world, and sometimes beyond.

Academic exchange is an important pillar in the German-Indian Sustainability and Climate Change Dialogue. Conceived on practice-based needs, it serves to strengthen the scientific foundation for bilateral cooperation as well as joint higher education activities. Part of the scientific base is the joint analysis of problematic trends in Germany and India, ones that affect the transition to sustainability. Amongst them are their human drivers and social impacts; related to this - and of extreme importance - is the notion of governance for a transition to sustainable development. In order to tackle complex environmental problems, the ground needs to be paved for transdisciplinary communication across national borders, involving academia as well as non-academic experts from business and politics.

Pencil, 3½×5½ in.
I was going to try to write a poem to go along with this sketch, but i haven't been able to get very far. (I almost had a haiku, but trimming the story to fit in such tight format cut it to the point where it didn't make any sense.) My poetry skills are pathetic.
Anyway, the mood i'm going for is that of a woman who's been repeatedly beaten by her husband, maybe even has children who are being abused by him, and has finally Had Enough. Tonight, after he falls asleep, she's getting out the meat cleaver…

Akera soluta
(Gmelin, 1791)
Order: ANASPIDEA
Superfamily: AKEROIDEA
Family: Akeridae
Indo-West Pacific.
Channel between Récif de l'Infernet & Barrier Reef, 20°36.2'S, 164°11.0'E, 12-15m, in Lagoon, off Koumac, New Caledonia, grey sand substrate, 11 October 1993, shell length 15, 20mm, AM C200438. PHOTOS: Bill Rudman.
Akera is a primitive representative of the Anaspidea (Sea Hares). It has an external shell which protects the visceral hump, but is not large enough to contain the whole body. The shell is only lightly calcified and empty shells are easily broken. It lives in muddy environments and the body has a streamlined shape, designed for burrowing. The anterior part of the body is able to extend out, much like a bivalve's foot, to assist in burrowing. In general, the shape of Akera is very similar to bubble-shelled cephalaspideans, like Atys, with a headshield, no head tentacles, and with the sides of the foot folded up to form parapodia. This similarity in shape was the reason that until reently many workers considerd Akera to be a cephalaspidean, despite its internal anatomy which is clearly anaspidean.
Little is known of the biology of Akera soluta other than it sometimes occurs in very large numbers. It apparently spends much of its life buried in sandy mud, with only the head end of the body emerging. This explains the unusual colour pattern with the mottled pigmentation, apparently camouflage colouration, restricted to the anterior parts of the body. The shell of Akera soluta grows to about 45mm in length.
The European species, Akera bullata, has been the subject of many studies. It is herbivorous and capable of extended periods of swimming.
