Weather is something that is unique to a region and, in essence, defines a specific place. In the Maritimes, a large part of that includes the rain. Our weather connects us. It is something we all experience despite our various backgrounds. Weather is the topic that we most often broach with strangers or in casual conversation. RAIN/PLAINS celebrates and embraces this often under-appreciated but place defining and connecting element.
RAIN/PLAINS is a simple but dynamic pixelated two dimensional paint installation. Lines of blues and greens cascade down the wall in a variety of tones. The composition and interruption of lines creates a feeling of falling. While the colours and tones create depth within the two dimensional plane of the wall. The bright contrasting orange pixels interrupt and contrast the rain, representing us, unique separate entities surrounded and connected through this experience and place.
Abstracted through pixelation, RAIN/PLAINS looks to create not a visual representation of rain but the idea of it. The pixelation is also used to connect the piece into its surrounding architecture by referencing the grid created between the wood slats on the ceiling and walls. In essence, RAIN/PLAINS adopts the inherit architecture as its basic framework while using tone and colour to create a depth of plane, playing with both two and three dimensionality.
Building Blocks seeks to engage the local community with the building of their public spaces. It seeks to more mindfully connect us with our surroundings, and encourage us to become involved in the placemaking of our community spaces. Through a series of workshops, the community would tour the site and buildings, returning to a nearby public space for discussions and the creation of mosaics of their experience. These mosaics will be cast into the concrete blocks that will become the art piece. With the final shape and location of the piece being dictated by the discussions during the workshops.
Sitting in our offices and places of work, we are often disconnected from the outside world. SWAY intends to more directly connect us to the ebb and flow of outside. In SWAY, an entire office is inhabited by a grid of swaying string moved by a tiny motor whose movements reflect the wind outside. Participants enter the office through the grid of swaying string to a small void in the centre. There, they stand, enveloped.

The PODS Series aims to act as a vehicle to engage the viewer with the various natural phenomena that surround us, defining our locations but are often overlooked and under-appreciated.
Light/Shadow is a 7' in Diameter by 5' high POD constructed with bent wood trusses, plywood and conventional lumber. The POD is tilted to maximize the play of the sun on the structure. The viewer can enter in two sides with the third open side covered with a crisscross of wooden pieces acting as a filter for light. As the time of day and weather changes, the experience of the pods changes. Direct sunlight creates beautiful crisp light/shadow play inside the pod, while angled sunlight causes the crisscrossed wooden elements to glow. Light/Shadow reengages us with the nuances of light in our surroundings.
Jury selected. Constructed in situ for Art in the Open 2016. Wood lumber. 8' x 8' x 10'.
OCULUS aims to direct our gaze upward to frame the ever changing sky. Built with uncut 2x4's, OCULUS uses conventional building materials to create a space for the viewer to interact with and experience above.
The PODS Series aims to act as a vehicle to engage the viewer with the various natural phenomena that surround us but are often overlooked and under-appreciated.
Tactile Interactions is a 6.5' in Diameter by 6' high POD constructed with bent wood trusses, plywood and conventional lumber. The pod is divided into six sections with three of those being open and three of them consisting of bent wood trusses that become grass covered lounge seats.
Human beings have a complicated relationship with nature. We tame it. We revere it. We abuse it. Tactile Interactions invites the viewer to reengage with nature through a medium that is highly cultivated but extremely emblematic of our connection to nature, grass.
Grass is the medium we often see around us to denote 'green areas.' It is the cultivated/manicured symbol of nature. We walk on paths through it, but we don't often actively engage with it. Tactile Interactions draws the surrounding grass up into benches to reconnect the viewer with the experience of their surroundings in a physical manner while connecting with each other.
Funded by a Creation Grant and Arts Infrastructure Grant for New and Emerging Artists by New Brunswick Arts Board.
Canopies surround us. They are above us in the tree branches and leaves. They are below us in the ferns. As we move through the forest, we are surround by these levels of canopy. For this project, nearly a hundred collected logs and branches were erected within the criss cross remnants of a clearing's root structure. They echo the vertical elements of the nearby canopies. The participant is invited to mindfully move through and sit at the centre surrounded.
Pavilion One is an exploration in biomimetic forms and alternative structures. Situated on a farm in PEI in, it takes inspiration from the double curvature and the overlapping pods of the surrounding grain fields. The arched interior is reminiscent of a gothic arch. The semi-opaque covering protects the viewers from the weather while allowing the shadows from the adjacent trees to envelope the structure.
Word of Mouth is a collaborative project between Michael Fernandes, Adam Read and myself. Originally conceived as a structure to house Michaels during his residency at the Confederation Centre of the Arts in PEI, the project evolved to explore the line between art and architecture and the relationship between public art and the public.
Created in situ. String, surrounding trees. 10' x 12' x 12'. In collaboration with Christian Démoré.
THRESHOLD is an exploration in defining thresholds within the natural landscape. Thresholds are the divides that denote one space from another. They can be solid walls, blocking out and sheltering us. They can be less obvious like a decks edge. While walking through the surrounding forest, the spiderwebs were the thresholds of the forest, dividing one space from another. They became the inspiration for this piece. Layers and Layers of string were interwoven between trees and fallen logs, creating a defined separate space within the forest that was still visually connected to its surroundings.
This piece explores building community and place while engaging with the enivronment around us. Over a series of weaving workshops, the community would be provided with materials and given instructions from various diverse teachers to weave ribbons. These flowing ribbons would become the ceiling of a newly defined public space. The final piece will be hundreds of woven ribbons hanging above in a treed area, slowly blowing in wind.

Bodegas Fillaboa Albarino Seleccion Finca Monte Alto 2016
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
Bodegas Fillaboa is owned by the Masaveu family, who traces their winemaking history to the 14th century, almost the beginning of Spain's wine tradition. Although the family has since diversified into different business sectors, about 30 years ago Jose Masaveu Herrero decided to resurrect his family's winemaking past with the purchase of Bodegas Murua in the D.O.Q. Rioja.
In the patient pursuit of excellence, Sr. Masaveu gradually added two more wineries to the family's portfolio: Pagos de Araiz in the D.O. Navarra, and most recently Bodegas Fillaboa, purchased in 2000. The winery is situated in the province of Pontevedra, near the town of Salvaterra de Miño, which is located on the River Miño separating Spain from Portugal.
Named after the rías, or estuarine inlets, that flow as far as 20 miles inland, Rías Baixas is an Atlantic coastal region with a cool and wet maritime climate. The entire region claims soil based on granite bedrock, but the inlets create five subregions of slightly different growing environments for its prized white grape, Albariño.
Val do Salnés on the west coast is said to be the birthplace of Albariño; it is the coolest and wettest of all of the regions. Having been named as the original subregion, today it has the most area under vine and largest number of wineries.
Ribeira do Ulla in the north and inland along the Ulla River is the newest to be included. It is actually the birthplace of the Padrón pepper!
Soutomaior is the smallest region and is tucked up in the hills at the end of the inlet called Ria de Vigo. Its soils are light and sandy over granite.
O Rosal and Condado do Tea are the farthest south in Rías Baixas and their vineyards actually cover the northern slopes of the Miño River, facing the Vinho Verde region in Portugal on its southern bank.
Albariño gives this region its fame and covers 90% of the area under vine. Caiño blanco, Treixadura and Loureira as well as occasionally Torrontés and Godello are permitted in small amounts in blends with Albariño. Red grapes are not very popular but Mencía, Espadeiro and Caiño Tinto are permitted and grown.
Albariño has enjoyed a surge in popularity over the last couple of decades. This grape claims dual citizenship of both Spain (in the Rías Baixas region) and Portugal, where it is widely planted in the northwest and is known as Alvarinho. In recent years, plantings have increased throughout California.
Tasting Notes for Albariño
Albariño is a dry, white wine with a complex aroma profile often including orange blosson, freshly cut grass, jasmine or geranium. Bursting with rich, ripe flavor, Albariño can show flavors of lime, pear, melon and white peach. The best examples boast zingy acidity and while typically fermented in stainless steel to preserve this purity, oak-aged examples can provide a weighty yet refreshing alternative to Chardonnay.
Perfect Food Pairings for Albariño
Albariño loves seafood, and can be paired with a variety of marine delicacies. Its distinctive waxy texture and lemony acidity make it perfect with fresh sardines, oysters, octopus or squid.
Sommelier Secrets for Albariño
Albariño is considered an aromatic variety, and actually shares characteristics with Viognier, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Muscat. If you enjoy these elegantly perfumed whites, chances are you'll love Albariño.

(9:30 a.m. AEDT) -- Cunard has chosen Melbourne over Sydney as its main homeport when based in Australia for the 2019-20 summer. The Queen Elizabeth will spend a record 101 days down under, operating six roundtrip cruises from Melbourne and two from Sydney.
Itineraries will include South Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea between December 2019 and March 2020.
The new 2020 Australian deployment will be almost double the length of Queen Elizabeth's scheduled 54-day season early next year, which will see the ship sailing from Sydney and Melbourne during February and March 2019.
Cunard senior vice president Simon Palethorpe said Queen Elizabeth's two-month 2020 season reflected the importance of the Australian cruise market to Cunard as well as Melbourne's growing attraction as a cruise hub.
"Over the past few years we've seen unprecedented growth in demand for the Cunard experience in Australia so it made sense for us to invest further in the market and extend the sailing season of Queen Elizabeth even more in 2020," Palethorpe said. "Our new 2019-20 summer season will not only feature more cruises, it will also offer some exciting new itinerary options which we hope will entice even more Australians to experience Cunard's legendary service and style."
Palethorpe said the December arrival of the 2,080-passenger Queen Elizabeth meant it would spend Christmas in local waters -- a first for Cunard's current fleet of Queens.
The festive voyage from Melbourne to New Zealand is scheduled to spend Christmas Day cruising the Tasman Sea, Boxing Day in Fiordland National Park and New Year's Eve in Auckland, enjoying the world's first firework spectacular as a new decade begins.
Other cruises from Melbourne will include South Australia and Tasmania, before sailing to Sydney for two roundtrip voyages including a new 14-night cruise to Papua New Guinea, featuring the line's maiden calls to Conflict Islands and Kiriwina.
Other maiden visits for Cunard during the summer season include Esperance in Western Australia, while it will be the first time for Queen Elizabeth to go to Albany, Whitsunday Islands and Darwin.
Launched in 2010, Queen Elizabeth is the youngest in the cruise line's current trio of Queens. Highlights include a a ballroom, a two-storey library, 10 restaurants and cafes, a games deck featuring paddle tennis, croquet and bowls, and a three-deck Royal Court Theatre seating 800 guests and offering private boxes.
Full details of the 2020 World Voyage season will be released on March 13, with the program scheduled to go on sale on March 20, 2018.

Royals' streak reaches four with 7-4 victory over Tigers
Suddenly, nothing stops the Royals.
The winning streak hit four games Thursday afternoon when the Royals completed a three-game sweep of first-place Detroit with a 7-4 victory at Kauffman Stadium.
Not bad considering the Royals went six weeks without winning consecutive games before their current surge, which began Monday with a 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels, another first-place club.
The Royals built a 3-0 lead Thursday before Detroit struck back with two runs in the fifth inning and two more in the sixth. The Royals responded by regaining the lead with a two-run sixth before adding insurance runs in the seventh and eighth.
Yuniesky Betancourt had two hits and two RBIs in leading a balanced 13-hit attack that included contributions from every starter. Billy Butler, Willie Bloomquist and Mitch Maier also had two hits. Alex Gordon and Alberto Callaspo hit homers.
And here's when you know things are going right: Butler blunted the possibility of a Detroit comeback by turning a hot liner by Miguel Cabrera into a double play in the ninth inning.
That was the fifth double play of the game the Royals turned on defense.
The Royals used five pitchers, each of whom spent most or all of the season at Class AAA Omaha: Lenny DiNardo, Yasuhiko Yabuta, Roman Colon, Dusty Hughes and Carlos Rosa.
Colon, 2-1, was the winner. Rosa pitched the ninth for his first career save and became the 128th pitcher in club history to record a save.
The winning streak boosts the Royals' hopes of avoiding a fifth 100-loss in eight years. They are 55-85 and must go 8-14 or better in their remaining 22 games to avoid triple figures.
The victory also pulled the Royals to within 5 1/2 games of the Indians in their quest to escape a last-place finish in the American League Central Division. The two teams open a three-game series Friday in Cleveland. DiNardo made his first big-league appearance in more than 13 months. He held the Tigers to two runs and seven hits in five innings. He surrendered two soft runs in the fifth inning after a misplay by Maier in center.
DiNardo's chance for a victory slipped away when Yabuta coughed up a run in the sixth inning by sandwiching two singles around a wild pitch -- the Royals' MLB-leading 81st wild pitch of the season.
Detroit starter Jarrod Washburn also settled for a no-decision after the Tigers rallied back from a 3-0 deficit. He allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings and was positioned, briefly, for a victory.
That sixth inning was a mess after Yabuta retired Marcus Thames on a pop to short. Brandon Inge singled to left and went to second on the wild pitch. Wilkin Ramirez tied the game with a single up the middle.
That finished Yabuta.
Colon induced a grounder from Gerald Laird that scooted under Betancourt's glove at short for a single that moved Ramirez to second.
The Tigers started the runners on a 1-1 pitch to Adam Everett. That led Gordon to break toward third, and he couldn't recover in time when Everett pulled the ball past the base.
Ramirez hurdled a diving Gordon and scored the go-ahead run on what turned into a double for Everett. Colon prevented further damage by retiring the next two hitters.
The Royals shook it all off.
They pulled even immediately in their sixth when Gordon cranked a 403-foot homer to right against reliever Zach Miner. Betancourt then drew a walk and went to second on a bunt single by David DeJesus, who extended his hitting streak to a season-high 11 games.
Bloomquist popped out, but Butler pulled an RBI single through the left side -- and the Royals were back on top at 5-4. It was Butler's second hit, which marked his sixth straight multi-hit game.
Colon allowed successive one-out singles in the seventh before exiting with runners at second and third with two outs. Hughes, summoned for a lefty-lefty matchup against Curtis Granderson, induced an inning-ending grounder to second.
The Royals extended their lead to 6-4 in the seventh against three Tigers' relievers. Singles by Brayan Peña and Maier, 6-5, finished Miner. Fu-te Ni loaded the bases by walking Gordon before Eddie Bonine yielded a sacrifice fly to Betancourt.
Hughes pitched out of a two-on, one-out jam in the eighth by getting Placido Polanco to ground into a double play -- the fourth of the game by the Tigers.
Callaspo's homer in the eighth boosted the lead to 7-4 and extended his hitting streak to 10 games. It had to survive a video-replay review before becoming official.

Chimpanzees and Xanax=Moment of The Year/
Educational gold was unearthed last week by a chimpanzee, Xanax, and a face-transplant.
I have this thing I do to encourage good question asking--Good, Better, Best. I give the kids some piece of stimulus like a YouTube video, article, or picture, then give them a set amount of time to write down as many questions as they can about the subject. I then have them chose their best ones to share, then rank them out loud according to good questions, better ones, and the best ones.
I hand out the "best" sparingly. Those are the questions that reveal the student sees a few layers into the issue. Those are the ones that get at the problems that aren't easily recognizable, like power-struggles, unseen actors, and universal implications. Big picture things. The goods and betters are just the questions that aren't there yet. "Good" is for questions that sit on the surface and usually deal with basic facts that either aren't directly answered in the thing I show them or that they just missed because they weren't paying attention. "Better" is for questions approaching "Best."
So I was browsing the internet and came across an article about this woman being released from a study involving a face transplant because her body began to reject the face. I read on. Turns out she was the lady in the news a few years ago that was mauled beyond recognition by her boss' chimpanzee. She lost her eyes, nose, lips, ears, and hands. This chimpanzee named Travis had been a model citizen for fourteen years of it's life, a "town icon," another article noted, then just went nuts one day.
Travis the chimp had been "rambunctious" the day of the event. At one point took his owner's keys off the counter, unlocked the front door, and walked around tapping on car doors, apparently indicating that he wanted a ride. My kids wondered about the word "rambunctious," though as I explained, they practiced it very well. Travis' owner then gave him "tea laced with Xanax," but to no avail. The owner then calls her friend/employee over to help, but when she steps out of the car, Travis goes nuts and mauls her. His owner proceeded to grab a knife from the kitchen and stab the chimpanzee to get him off her friend, but he just kept attacking. The owner later described him looking up at her like, "Mom? What are you doing?" After a while, he leaves her for a police car that just pulled up, goes over to the driver door, opens it, and then is shot by the officer fearing for his safety. Travis runs off into the woods, then later returns to his nest in the house where he dies.
This heartbreaking story had a lot going on. A lot of problems, issues, feelings, and conflicts. I knew I had to bring this to my class. I was worried because the facts were graphic and the story could evoke strong emotions, but this was the world they were citizens of. These were issues and the news of the world they occupied and have to learn to exist in. It was one of those teacher moments when you weigh things based on their developmental ability to cope and in this case, it seemed within their ability. I have to admit though, I was mostly driven by wanting to see what questions they would come up with.
I read them the article, played them an audio clip of the 911 call, then showed them an interview with the victim after a visit to Congress where she argued for stricter laws regarding keeping wild animals as pets. Needless to say, they were riveted. And the questions--they were gold.
- "Why is she allowed to keep a wild animal as a pet?"
- "Did the owner get her money back?" This question still intrigues me: did it come from the idea that a customer should be reimbursed for the loss of goods (Travis being shot), or because the owner was sold a "bad" chimpanzee?
- "How was the owner able to transport Travis through states (from Missouri where she bought him to Connecticut where she lived) where it wasn't legal to keep chimpanzees as pets?"
- "Has the victim laughed after the accident?"
- "What did they do with Travis after he died?"
Then, someone asked this question, and the whole lesson transformed:
- "What if the drugs affected him?"
It was something that hadn't crossed my mind in the slightest. What if the Xanax that the owner had given Travis to calm him down somehow had a negative reaction? Once that question was asked, like I said, the whole lesson transformed into a discussion between the students. A passionate discussion where they looked each other in the eyes, where they listened to each others ideas and built upon them. It felt like the holy grail of education. It was one of those moments that reminds you why you committed to this thing.
They started talking with each other about how drugs negatively affect people and how thats what could have happened with Travis. They brought up the point that these were drugs for humans and maybe hadn't been tested on animals.
The discussion suddenly evolved into a debate. It became a question of who was at fault: the owner, the friend (she had gotten a new haircut), Travis, or the drugs (One student added in the drug company for not putting a warning label on the Xanax). Students were standing up out of their seats to counter another student's thoughts. At one point, I stopped them all to jot down their claim (who they thought was responsible) and any support they could think of for their claim. This was so they would have some ammunition for continuing the debate and to incorporate the few students that hadn't found a foot-hold yet. They identified all sorts of possible problems within this. Did the owner know this would happen? Is it irresponsible to give someone something to eat or drink without knowing the effects it may have? One quiet student came up to me and asked in his broken English, "Don't humans and chimpanzees have, like, a relationship?" I struggled for a moment to understand what he was trying to say, and then momentously realized he was referring to the genetic similarity primates have to humans as an argument for why the drugs could have not been the cause. The debate went back and forth for longer than I could have hoped until I had to cut it off with fifteen hands still in the air. I had students raising their voices, trying to get their thoughts heard. As they cleaned up for the day, they splintered off into little groups to continue the discussion.
It was pure magic.
I realized that these moments are what I want to go after. They are defined by engrossment, multi-dimensional thinking, and deep questions. Questions feel the most important. If I can teach a student to ask good questions, I can leave them feeling confident they're on a path to life-long learning. When they can see deeply into a problem or a topic and ask questions that get to the heart of the thing, Im pretty sure they leave with better understanding. And better understanding leads to better connections with other information and ultimately, more questions that encourage more seeking out of answers. It becomes a viciously beautiful cycle that drives (and pulls) a person forward into learning.
I think this lesson was effective thanks to the novelty and seriousness of the topic and because it turned into a debate that required them to chose a side. Turns out they love real and serious things--and choice.

Ever wonder how to set up your dining room or if you have done it correctly. We have some designer tips to help you turn your dining room into a destination.
The first thing to remember is that if something is working for you, don't listen to the experts, just enjoy your creation. That being said, here are our:
Designer Tips for Laying Out Your Dining Room
1. get the biggest table your room can fit. That way when you have a big gathering you can seat all your friends and family comfortably.
2. if you are worried about traffic flow with your big table do not leave chairs at the ends of the table unless specifically required by your guest list.

A food delivery startup had chosen to implement Kronos version 7 but didn't have anyone on their in-house IT team who was trained to work on the platform. So when their HR and Payroll departments ran into problems exporting data in their preferred format, they reached out to Surety Systems.
Surety Systems was able to serve as an unbiased resource to create custom reports in Kronos and build out several unique interfaces including a custom API integration. Surety continues to work with the client on a time and materials basis to this day, supporting their team's Kronos needs. Because of Surety, this startup is able to leverage a tool like Kronos without the expense of bringing a full-time resource in-house.

Most of the time I'm in blissful ignorance of what other restaurant reviewers are doing. I suppose it's laziness really; I don't read as much these days as I should. In a perfect world we reviewers should talk to one another, so that we don't all end up reviewing the same place on the same day. Thankfully that doesn't happen too often - there are now so many restaurants in Ireland that the odds of it happening are getting longer by the week.
There are times however when what other reviewers have written come to my attention. A case in point was a review by the Sunday Independent's Lucinda O'Sullivan a few weeks back. It was a funny and well-written piece about her adventures in a Brazilian restaurant. It brought back memories to me of an experience I'd had many years ago in an Italian restaurant in Clontarf. A couple of weeks later I read a review by my TV reviewer companion Tom Doorley of the same Brazilian restaurant. Tom had really enjoyed his night there and there had been no drama as there had been for Lucinda. It was interesting to read to differing accounts of the same restaurant.
As it happens, my South American friend Isabella Weibrecht and I had been planning a trip to this same Brazilian restaurant, which is called Brasil Churrascaria. For one reason or another our dinner kept getting postponed and in the meantime Lucinda's and Tom's reviews had come out, so by the time we finally got to go there, I had some idea of what I could expect. My friend Isabella spent many of her formative years in Brazil, specifically in Sao Paolo, so she was the perfect companion to explain the niceties of Brazilian dining to me. She also speaks Portuguese, so we were able to communicate well with the staff of Brasil, all of whom seem to be either Portuguese or Brazilian.
The dining room is small and unpretentious, very simply decorated and it seats maybe thirty. The kitchen takes up the room alongside and there's a couple of tables in there too by the window. First impressions then are of a simple eaterie, the sort of place that Italians call a trattoria', the kind of place where the food is the main interest, not the surroundings. Before we did anything like look at menu or wine list, Isabella ordered both of us a caiperinha, that quintessentially Brazilian drink of rum and lime juice with lots of crushed ice. The word refreshing' doesn't really do caiperinhas justice, it would be all too easy to drink them one after another. Since I was driving and Isabella doesn't really drink, that's where the caiperinhas stopped.
A churrascaria' is the basic Brazilian dining experience. You get a lot of salads and hors d'oeuvres, but the main event, the centre piece, is meat. Lots of meat. Meat in quantities that would make a vegetarian blanch. Carnivore quantities, not delicate little slices. Hunks of meat - pork, lamb and beef laden onto plates as though to feed a New Testament multitude. I did of course look down the menu, which is priced at the lower end of average, even though Id already made up my mind. Most of the main courses are priced from 16.50 to 23, although a large T-bone steak will cost you 28.50. Mostly the menu lists steaks, stews and fish dishes. Some of the Brazilian classics looked tempting, but as I said, when you're in a churrascaria, meat is what they do best, so that's what we both ordered.
It's a 30 deal: you help yourselves to the buffet of salads and then you get your own industrial quantities of meat for your main course. I'm not a man of small appetite, so I was sure I could handle whatever came my way, but Isabella is svelte and slight and I did wonder if she could cope with the portions. Being a smart lady she didn't do what I did, which was eat far too much from the buffet.
There was a reason for that. The buffet is L' shaped, but at first I only noticed the long side. I'd already filled my plate with black beans, a green salad, some grilled aubergine slices and some potato salad, when I noticed the other part of the buffet. Since that contained a lot of things that I like, like a squid and octopus salad, cold meats and smoked salmon there was nothing for it but to go back and try those things as well. Not smart, really, because when our grilled meat platters arrived there was enough to feed eight, I swear.
I did try, I really did. I ate two cuts of grilled beef, a large pork sausage, and then some lamb before I surrendered and stopped. The meat platter didn't look any emptier than when it had come to the table. With the meal cleared away we sat over one last caiperinha for Isabella and a couple of espressos for me. Maybe it was the sound of Portuguese being spoken so close to the kitchen door, but the chef / proprietor came out and spoke to us. It was a tri-lingual conversation: Portuguese to Isabella, good Italian to me and the odd word of English. I didn't mention the war (the one with Lucinda) and discovered that before moving to Dublin he'd owned a large and posh churrascaria in Manhattan. I even got to see the photos. It seems that nine-eleven was a disaster in more ways than one; many restaurants got hit in the subsequent fall-out, including his.
Because of that we now have another style of ethnic dining in Dublin and one that should appeal to meat-eating Dubliners. It's simple and good and not expensive. Our bill for more than we could eat came to 87, including the caiperinhas, mineral water and coffees. If Brazil gets into the final of the world cup, this might just be the place to celebrate.

West Ham coach, Bilic tasks Sakho to stay focused
West Ham United manager, Slaven Bilic has tasked Diafra Sakho to focus on the team after an unsuccessful attempt to force a transfer to the French side, Stade Rennais.
The Croatian confirmed the attempted move by the 27-year-old which might not have been sanctioned by the club.
Bilic has advised the Senegal international to put in his best for the London outfit if he is ready to 'get a new contract, or play again for Senegal, or get a move.'
"There are so many issues, so I have to pull up the Diafra Sakho file now," Bilic told Sky Sports.
"Yeah, Diafra wanted to go. But also, that issue is not quite black and white. Did he have permission, permission on paper or just a form or an SMS? I don't know.
"The fact is he wanted to go there. He did a medical, but the club decided not to sell him and he's back.
"So I told him 'Diafra, you are fit? I know what you can do. Sit there, hopefully now you are going to get fit and I am going to help you get focused here.
"He's been training. He came back - he flew to Rennes last week, a couple of days before the end of the transfer window - but he's been training since.
"He looks good in training. Hopefully, he is going to stay like that for a long time. Because he will know that until January he is a West Ham player.
"That's the way he's going to get a new contract, or play again for Senegal, or get a move: if he plays good."

I'm new to Logos and just purchased Logos 8 platinum.
I'm having difficulty navigating the Atlas feature (Biblical Places Maps).
I'm thinking that there's got to be a basic table of contents or something where I can browse the different maps that are available, but it's not intuitive to me at all.
I've scoured all the training vidoes I could find and searched youtube. I can't find anythign giving a tutorial on how to use the Atlas feature, and it would really help me to be able to figure this out.
All I can Figure out is that the arrows in the upper right of the panel take me to a new set of maps, and then I can see a few to choose from in that category. But I don't know the order of the categories/sets, or the content or anything. It seems impossible to navigate.
The video for maps on the Logos website looks easy to navigate. But that's for Logos 7, not 8. The maps feature in Logos 8 doesn't look anything like what's i the Logos 7 video.
Hi Kevin
Welcome to Logos and to these forums.
Kevin G. Thompson:I'm having difficulty navigating the Atlas feature (Biblical Places Maps).
The two things you mention - Atlas and "Biblical Places Maps" - are quite different with the Atlas Tool being the recommended way to access maps, etc (the Biblical Places Map resource was used by an earlier tool and still contains some very useful information)
If you open the Atlas Tool - available in the Tools menu - you will see something like this:
You can filter the Atlas - example below
and then clicking one of them gives information related to that event and where the place fits in
This should match more closely what you have seen in the videos as this didn't really change between Logos 7 & 8
Hope this helps - and please post back if you have further questions.
Thank you for this Graham!

By Vera Martirosyan/Vera&Football
Khoren Hovhannisyan, the legendary player of FC Ararat Yerevan (Armenia) and the ex-USSR national football squad, is the guest of our program entitled "Outside the Pitch."
As reported earlier, a friendly match devoted to the 60th birth anniversary of Hovhannisyan will be played in Armenia's capital city Yerevan on March 28, and between the ex-USSR and world stars' teams.
And below is an abridged version of our talk with the legendary Armenian footballer.
Mr. Hovhannisyan, why was it decided to hold a friendly match between the [ex-]USSR and world [stars'] teams?
Initially, we thought that it will be between the [ex-]USSR and Armenia [national] squad. However, the process of preparation delayed a lot, and in the end we decided that it would be better this way; such a thing has never been held.
The makeup of the [ex-]USSR team was determined quite easily, whereas younger footballers, who have not played with you, are playing in the world [stars'] team. How was it achieved to interest [the likes of] Gattuso, Boban, [and] Stoichkov?
They are the friends of my friends. We wanted to invite many other [football] stars [to this friendly], but it was not convenient for many [of them], since there are other events on those days.
[And the] eternal question in football: Who is the King of Football? Pelé, or Maradona?
You can't compare them. Pelé was the king, but Maradona is not inferior to him. Today, it is also possible to put Messi among them. For me, these three are the best football players in history.
ACBA-CREDITAGRICOLE BANK has prepared a gift for all football fans. Starting March 9, bank's clients who will obtain MasterCard UEFA Champions League card will get presents with Champions League and MasterCard logos. Only the first 1,0 - See more at here.
You can watch above the video of the entire interview (in Armenian) with Khoren Hovhannisyan.
To note, football legends Gennaro Gattuso, Marco Materazzi, Hristo Stoichkov, Zvonimir Boban, Jari Litmanen, Jean-Pierre Papin, Vincent Candela, Aldair, Patrick Berger, Faustino Asprilla, Dario Šimić, Mário Jardel, Edílson, and Serginho will be playing in the world stars' team during the aforesaid friendly devoted to the 60th birth anniversary of Hovhannisyan.

In general such treatments are as diverse as the finished films are. But as far as I know the biz the advertisers want to get a very focused and very custom product (ad) to feature their product. So you should work out the benefits and aspects that make this product unique. You dont' want to write a trewatment for sunglases in general - you want to write an ad for THEIR sunglasses: So use the brandnames etc.
> > What happen to the visual description if it is not going to be producted but still the advertised product's or the company's name is already writen and suggested in the manuscript? Would it be an "illegal" attempt to advertise the product and the company itself without their knowledge?
As far as I understand it: if they are not going to make the film, why should you keep the treatment? If your intent is to add it to your resume, then ask them first.

WASHINGTON:–Captain Kristen Griest became the US Army's first female infantry officer this week, the Army said, in a milestone for the US military as it opens up combat roles for women. Griest was one of two women who made history last year after becoming one of the first female soldiers to pass the Army's grueling course to qualify for the elite Rangers unit. Earlier this month, the Army said it had approved requests from more than 20 women to enter the infantry and armor branches, both of which face the possibility of combat. The armor branch includes tanks.–Reuters
Army Times, which first reported the news, said Griest was expected to graduate from the Maneuver Captain's Career Course on Thursday. Last year the US military said it would let women serve in all combat roles, a historic move striking down gender barriers in the armed forces.
As of mid-2015, nearly 12 percent of US forces deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan were women. They represented about 2 percent of US military deaths in those wars.

Every 51 minutes, choice person dies in an alcohol-related traffic collision. In 2012 alone, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents, accounting for nearly one-third of all fatalities.
You can find more drunk driving statistics on the Mothers next to Drunk Driving (MADD) website here.
Drunk Driving Prevention In America
In the outlook of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns put it on to educate American drivers practically drunk driving? This article will offer a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.
Buzzed Driving
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private concentration groups, advocating for widespread appreciation of something called buzzed driving. in view of that what is it?
Buzzed driving is a very simple concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed shortly by the bloodstream and common tests, in the same way as a breathalyzer, can sham the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving once a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or far along is illegal in every state. At that concentration, drivers roughly speaking invariably experience sedation and slower tribute times. In extra words, its simply dangerous to drive afterward that much alcohol in your system.
Buzzed driving is suitably having a BAC demean than 0.08% but higher than 0.00%.
One Beer Wont fine-tune The way I Drive
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One relation from UC San Diego that evaluated accident reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than moderate drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, in the distance more dangerous than driving sober.
The genuine misery is that American discharge duty and public policy tend to see upon 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. below that stock and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a smash increases steadily and adroitly from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no unexpected transition next comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is safe in the firm analysis.
The explanation from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal cause offense Prevention. You can approach a summary here.
The Worlds Stance upon Drunk Driving
Much of the world has even more rigorous limits.
China has a real limit of 0.02%
Japan uses 0.03%
Frances legal limit is 0.05%
Germanys is 0.05%
Sweden uses 0.02%
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia every have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized behind uncompromising fines, and your car can be impounded.
In fact, North America (including Canada and Mexico) is one of the worlds single-handedly regions to use 0.08% BAC as its true limit.
Has The excite Worked?
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public relief announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving awareness campaign. upon their website, they report that their ads reached approximately one half of all American adults more than the age of 21. And that there was a significant bump in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned roughly the situation of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.
And even if public awareness is no question important, Americas legislators have yet to answer to our other conformity of buzzed driving. In fact, bearing in mind most declare governments deal with to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers below 21 or target understandably that they wont tolerate any driver taking into consideration a BAC higher than 0.08%.
Only mature will tell whether or not welcome governments follow through upon the current research. support in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas authenticated limit to 0.05%, but no allow in has yet to forward this stricter limit.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Another recognition has been to contextualize drunk driving, to define it in terms of unorthodox tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol exploit and abuse. The underlying premise to this rouse is that some drunk drivers acquit yourself vehicles while impaired because (in in view of that many words) they cant back it. And if you get substance dependent persons treatment, you might take some impaired drivers off the road in the same gesture.
Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In line following recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more relation than contrast between alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.
This stock of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a assay released by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of all drivers who were killed in crashes and tested distinct for drugs along with had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the suffering is mixed. And the answer might be, too.

Chanel No. 5 is known as the perfume of now and forever. So no surprise that every 55 seconds, the world has a bottle of perfume is sold. Seductive aroma and flavor from noble synthetic jasmine,llang-ilang, bergamot, iris flowers, sandalwood, amber… of Chanel No. 5 remained virtually unchanged for nearly 90 years.
In 1921, Coco Chanel perfume put Ernest Beaux manufacturers six perfumes for her choosing. The result, her favorite type of year (coincidentally, the year is Coco's lucky number.) Since then, the fragrance is associated with famous names like Marilyn Monroe, Catherine Deneuve, Nicole Kidman … and now face a French actress Audrey Tautou.
Do you think the people of this beautiful material, and farmers found in Grasse, Provence, France there exists a link? The answer is yes. It is the aroma from the delicate white flowers on his hands. August every year, Joseph Mul and employees go to all the fields in the remote southeastern France. They had to manually shut off the fragile jasmine to make Chanel No. 5, the most famous perfume world. 70, Joseph Mul is the fifth generation member of a family worked long years in the perfume industry. Flower farm house he was associated with the
famous name Chanel No. 5 from the early days of the new release. Indeed, Chanel perfume formulas have to say the exact origin of jasmine flowers are used as raw materials. This formula is very homogeneous and even featured product line of Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette or Eau Perfume Premie're.Joseph Mul, said: "It's expensive jasmine flowers in the world. They are priced at 20 to 30 times higher than those grown in Egypt or India.Grasse enjoy the special favor of climate. In summer, the waters in the town of Côte d'Azur, the sun never too hot. The advantage is always kept at temperatures above 18oC at night and never exceeded 28 degrees Celsius in the daytime. It helps to jasmine quality reached levels where the upper class. Flowers are fragrant sweet, gentle and less concentration than other varieties of exotic flowers. Maybe they will release the fragrance of Chanel No different. 5 if planted somewhere else. "
Many celebrities and charming like this puts on perfume. It has always been sold in the busy shopping center such as Galeries Lafayette of Paris or Printems. It's a different world harvests of jasmine Mul his family in this town of Grasse.
Mr Mul particularly emphasized the processes pick flowers not be limited. This is a job that requires meticulous high. Jasmine bloom only at night. At six o'clock in the morning, people wake up to pick them and carefully placed in a wicker basket. Average per hour, a person can be hand-picked half kilogram flowers.
Manual work takes place during the three month season, starting in August. Along with his brother Marius, Mr. Mul recruit at least 70 people each year to harvest a field in broad 5 acres of jasmine. Many of them are members of his family. He said: "I worked with him in our home. Generation which also contribute to both. Therefore, we have quite a team for each harvest standing crops. "
Once harvested, jasmine should be dealt fast. "We have to flower into even Hexane extraction solvent. If left out, if only for a short time only, the aroma will be modified ", Jean – Francois Vieille explained. 20 years, he did the job turn into a solid, jasmine, caramel color to be transported easily.
During harvest, farmers work hard here not including the time for flowers to be picked every day. They must be very careful because you know you are working for a luxury fragrance company. To have a kilogram petals, they have to pick about 8,000 flowers. 350 kilometers new gram produces a kilogram of solid-grams mentioned above, is priced from 9,000 to 10,000 euros.
This year, new regulations from the International Association IFRA fragrance into effect in January 2010 caused some anxiety favorite perfume. It could be an end to the legend of Chanel No. 5. First, in all fragrances finished, jasmine natural rate will be capped at 0.7%. The purpose of this is to ensure users will not have allergic reactions with jasmine.
However, Jean-Pierre Houri, IFRA heads, have dismissed this concern: "Chanel No. 5 is not affected by the provisions of IFRA. " A Chanel spokeswoman said the new rules are made, they immediately check the percentage of jasmine extract the finished product. The good news is no perfume bottle that violate its standards.
Back to Grasse, perfume capital of the world, where the perfume industry turnover reached 600 million euros per year, the farmers have never claimed anything. The only thing he is worried Joseph Mul jasmine plant roots are infected with fungus. But he also said it had planted 205 area flowers in case the crop was attacked.
So far, not a jasmine harvest any lost revenue. Growing conditions this year are also very favorable. Therefore, we have every reason to believe Chanel No. 5 to burst into our world is still passionate about perfume for many years.

Picture it -- a boot for every soldier, sailor, airman and Marine killed in war since 9/11. That's almost 7,000 boots.
Seven THOUSAND. Breath-taking. Heart-wrenching. Poignant.
That's the kind of impression officials with Survivor Outreach Services (SOS) on Fort Campbell, Ky. are trying to make with their Gold Star Week and Hero and Remembrance Run Oct. 27 to Nov. 1.
Every year the friends and families of Fort Campbell's fallen gather on the Army post to remember the lost. SOS is collecting the boots for a memorial that will line the route of the 5k Remembrance Run. The memorial boots will be tied and placed with a photo of a fallen service member, their name and rank, date of death and place of death. Each boot will represent one service member.
But with Gold Star week less than two months away, boot volunteers are scrambling. According to this story they are short 6,000 boots -- 3,000 pairs -- and they need your help to make this project happen.
Yes, you.
Fort Campbell wants military boots in any condition (yes, any!) and any color. You and I both know that you have old Army boots sitting around headed to the trash can. Instead of tossing them, why not donate them?
This isn't the first Army post to do this project. Tripler Army Medical Center's Fisher House started it two years ago.
Want to send in your used boots? This is how. Please include a note that you are contributing as part of 1-327's boot drive.If you are local to Fort Campbell: Drop those bad boys off at the Fort Campbell USO, Family Resource Center or ACS.
If you are far away: Mail them via UPS or Fed-Ex (sadly the ACS building doesn't receive regular mail. Weird, I know.): Here is the address:
2703 Michigan Ave.

Is it true there are no such things like the best indicator. There is not a single indicator that is better than any other or that can guarantee my profits! What is the purpose of each indicator? What they serve and how to use them correctly? Indicator types how many of them? How much can I learn?
Have you done the "Pipschool " ?
No, I have not done yet. Should I?
If you're new - absolutely essential !
@Falstaff, okay I am going for it. Hah, but feeling tired sometimes.
I agree with you! BabyPips School is the best course for the new Forex traders!
I like Alligator with moving averages. though i'm not a pro, but it works great in the majority of times
Indicators in my opinion are just used to confirm how you think price will move, never make decisions from them. I use bollinger bands every time, never goes away for me.
I like Moving Average and RSI! Although, I am a news trader but these 2 indicators help me to get swing points of market.
The best indicator is the one you can read and the one that provides you, as an individual, with good trading signals. Which indicator that would be exactly tends to be very subjective.
I am reading and learning now from BabyPips school. However, I am asking here because I can get many points of views through one question. How you guys treat or see forex trading from your own side. This makes me feel excited. It is way more interesting than I thought but for sure it is a long process which makes me feel bored sometimes.
Hello, @Luke_Ronchi can you put some details here. How do you do it!!! So, I can learn things from you. Thank you so much for your response. I hope you will reply soon.
Your word hit me good. It should be this way. What I can read and the one that provides me. It depends or varies person to person. I think I need to find out which is tends to be very subjective.
People often underestimate how subjective trading can be - strategies, indicators, time frames, they all differ from person to person. One should be willing to test and experiment until they find what they need.
You are on the right way! All of the best.
Oh and MACD. Study the MACD, it's movements, and it'll become your favorite indicator
Everything is subjective here in trading. And all subjects vary from person to person. Whose gonna willing to test and experiment every subject until they find the right one? It is really hard. Don't know how to deal with it.
There is probably no such thing as a single indicator that will give you 100% guarenteed profits all the time, reliably ever day. Also many will state that to use indicators only is not reliable, but price action is the main 'indicator' of when to buy and sell.
The main places to learn the indicators is through the babypips school, various free lessons by the brokers. I used the free webinar courses from XM and Forextime. Another free information source is Wikipedia.
I would recommend Moving averages to start with for basic analysis. It is the most common and easiest to understand.
For example; I will use daily moving averages (MAs) of 55 and 200 periods. These give me a very good idea of a trend direction and if there is a trend. For example, currently the MAs are pointing to an up trend in the EURUSD. Should I buy now? No, I need further confirmations. Another tool I use is the ADX. It confirms if there is a trend. Currently it is below 25 (on the daily chart), so I am not trading (In fact the ADX is trendless / ranging for all the majors I trade, therefore I am out of the market / not trading).
So far I am being shown that the EURUSD in in an upwards trend, but that the trend has stopped. Now I wait for confirmation of a new trend before I trade again. Another tool I use is the RSI. If it is in overbought or oversold territory it can warn me of a potential change in direction. Recently it warned of highs at around 1.2 on the EURUSD, this was an excellent time to take profit. Currently it was high and is heading down.
In summary, some indicators indicate when a trend is in action or not, some point in the direction to trade. Other swill warn you when the market is about to turn. Thinking in this rough way, we could look for indicators when a market is about to turn, then look for when a trend is about to begin and finally trade in the direction of the trend when all the indicators line up properly. This is just a rough idea of the potential logic of one way to use different indicators together.
As an example, currently I am not trading as I an getting ranging readings on the daily charts for EURUSD (and other majors). So I wait for other indications that the market has started moving or trending again. There are some indications from the RSI and ADX that when a trend resumes it will be of a weakening EURUSD position.
This is one small example of how I use the technical indicators. There are others I use too, such as the Ichimoku Cloud, Stochastics and basic trend analysis. There are various other techniques I use to actually trigger trades and exit trades when the technical indicators give me the background of what is happening in the markets.
Anyone who wants to become steadily profitable.
The other people all make up the statistics by becoming part of the 97% who don't, and eventually drop out, and there's a huge turnover of them in the markets.
Price action pure and simple. Learn this and lagging indicators can stay in the box. Best time for this is 4.30am GYM ready for Frankfurt and London opens. Majority of days you will be done by 10am GYM.
