Potters Bar skier Robert Poth crowned giant slalom champion
10:05am Thursday 21st February 2013 in Sport
Potters Bar skier Robert Poth has become the English giant slalom champion in the Under-16s category.
Poth commanded the field from the start of the competition in Bornio, Italy, with his first run of 42.00 giving him over a second lead.
This was backed up on his second run (42.31) which enabled him to fight off Iain Innes and Jordan Fellows who finished second and third respectively to gain the victory.
The race was under a new format for this age group, with competitors now taking part in two runs, with both times counting towards the final result.
This change has been put in place before the British Championships later in the season.
The aims of this being to better prepare the young skiers for further International Ski Federation races.
The victory signalled a successful start to 2013 for Poth who also won the FIS international children's event 'Ski Interkriterium' becoming the first British competitor to win the Under-16 competition in 15 years.

Sister of Lubbock Woman Killed in Lockney Saturday Speaks Out About Her Death
By: Monica Yantosh
Updated: October 15, 2012
Only a week before, Diaz celebrated her 25th birthday.
"She was a great mom, loved her kids," said McGowan. "I have kids and she, all of our kids were each other's kids, you know, she was always about the kids."
According to Floyd County Sheriff's Office, Diaz was found Saturday in the home of 50 year old Edward Hernandez, who was her boyfriend. Hernandez had called police himself to tell them about the murder.
He's been arrested for the murder and is currently in Hale County Jail on $500,000 bond.
"When I find out my sister's been murdered by this son of a b***h who says he loved her then, you know, I couldn't believe it," said McGowan. "My first reaction was this is all a lie, its a nightmare I can wake up from but it hasn't happened."
McGowan says Diaz wanted to leave her boyfriend, Hernandez, to spend more time with her children.
"They argued and fought all the time but never once did we hear about him laying a hand on her," said McGowan. "She told him that she didnt want to be with him anymore, that she was leaving him to go back with Rowland, which is her husband to be with her kids and he told her if he couldn't have her then nobody could."
McGowan hopes by speaking about her sister's death, she can keep another family from feeling this kind of pain."I don't want this to be somebody else's family going through what we are," said McGowan.

If you're trying to compare the two, then it's apples and oranges. The GoFlex Home is a network storage system and the GoFlex Desk that you mention is a standalone USB drive.
And the shipping is only "free" if you have Prime.
This doesn't allow, does not have wireless functionality.
They shouldn't have mentioned that it does, they are merely suggesting that if you connect it to your wifi router then you'd have it available wirelessly like you would anything on your network.
Still a good price, a bare internal 3TB is going for $157 or more on 'egg and this has a 3 yr warranty, although some reviews mention hassles installing software that's only available on the included CD or by contacting Seagate, required use of their software instead of a standard standalone NAS, and internet registration for the software.

For the seasoned LARB reader — or indeed, for almost any contemporary reader — neither Greil Marcus nor David Thomson should need an introduction. Marcus, the author of such books as Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of the 20th Century and Invisible Republic: Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes, is one of our most flexible and surprising interrogators of the American grain. Thomson, author of more than 20 books, including The New Biographical Dictionary of Film and Try to Tell The Story, may be our greatest living film historian. Recently, Marcus and Thomson sat down to discuss matters ranging from the origins and complexities of Thomson's new book, The Big Screen: The Story of the Movies, to our predilection for vile protagonists. A heavily edited version of this conversation ran recently in Sight & Sound, but LARB is pleased to present their rich and engaging dialogue in full.
GREIL MARCUS: Let's start with your new book, The Big Screen. I'm a very slow reader, but I tried to just roar through it, and it was completely impossible. It's a ruminating book, full of echoes. The ideas, the references, the words in the sentences, the construction of the sentences, they continue echoing throughout. So if you just read for information or read for plot, you're not watching the movie. It's 525 pages long not counting notes and texts, and no pictures.
DAVID THOMSON: Well there are pictures to come. There are two photographic insets.
GM: All right, there are pictures. But I haven't seen them, and didn't miss them. And I think in fact, if you show a picture of the ending of Bonnie and Clyde, where Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are being ripped to pieces, which is a moment you come back to many times in the book — do you show a picture of that?
DT: No.
GM: Good — because you don't need it. It would just take away from the reverberation that's already there. I found the greatest thrill in this book to be its sentences. You bring something into such perfect focus, something that's so right and so swift that you'd completely miss it if you didn't read it all. You've got an argument throughout about the nature of the screen in relationship to a human being, to the human eye, human memory. Starting with Muybridge, going to video games and past that to wherever past that will be. You raise any number of issues outside of cinema proper, having to do with social life, with cultural and individual memory, having to do with community, with the whole idea of communication and what it means to live in a democracy. What kind of culture does democracy produce? What kind of culture does democracy depend on? But that's not how the book reads. The book reads like floating down a very, very long river. And the boat doesn't change, the occupant of the boat doesn't change. But the weather changes, the terrain changes. The people you pass who you meet on the river, who you see on the shore are continually changing. In other words, to me, regardless of the other arguments you seem to be making that might seem to be of greater import, this is a self-referential book in the richest way. About The Pass...

"Good results with Tempstar 7000"
This natural gas furnace worked well for the 15 years I had it. The only issue I experienced involved a clogged orifice that frequently prevented the gas from igniting. But once I got that replaced it worked well. Only other issue was that I couldn't turn on just the fan to circulate the air, but I think that was due to poor installation.

The Tigers, facing their third left-handed pitcher in three days, dropped an 8-2 decision Saturday to Hernando in the deciding third game of their MHSAA Class 5A second-round playoff series.
Caleb Goff went the distance for Hernando (21-7), striking out four and scattering six hits to earn the win.
"In high school it's unusual to see that many left-handers," Saltillo coach Johnny Bolen said. "I think they have four left-handers. They did a good job."
The loss ended the season for Saltillo (18-14), which extended the series Friday with a 2-1 victory at home. Hernando won the series opener, 6-1, here on Thursday night.
"I'm proud of my guys, they competed and we had a good season," Bolen noted.
Hernando's Goff (7-2) got plenty of support from his offense and his defense. The black and gold Tigers collected 12 hits against Saltillo pitching.
"He threw strikes; that's what you want in Game 3 situations," Hernando coach David Lara said of his pitcher. "We've got three left-handed pitchers we used in this series. All three did a good job.
"We were able to play good defense behind them and scratch out a few runs."
chargers next
Next up for Hernando is a best-of-three state quarterfinals series this week against Oxford. The Chargers eliminated Ridgeland in two games in their second-round series.
"Oxford put us out in the second round last season," Lara said. "We want to at least have a good showing and go as far as we can."
Josh Brown gave Hernando a 1-0 lead in the first inning with an RBI single off Saltillo starter Cosby Repult (6-6).
Saltillo answered in the top of the third to go ahead 2-1 when leadoff batter Kyle Young hit a two-run homer off Goff. He plated Hunter Harlow, who had singled.
"We had been hitting the ball well, but we struggled this series," Bolen said.
Caleb Gowen had two RBI and Josh Brown one in Hernando's three-run third inning.
The home team took a 6-2 lead in the fourth on a two-run homer by Drew Rutledge off Saltillo reliever Blake Wiggington.
Tim Rowe had an RBI double and Stuart Chick an RBI single for Hernando in the fifth and sixth innings.

Q. After sitting in the garage for the winter, my lawn mower won't start. It appears no fuel is reaching the carburetor. If I spray starter fluid or put gas in the carburetor, it will start, but then it shuts down. What could be the problem?
Fruit and flowers combine to create a fresh display
It is not surprising to many that the staid Royal Horticultural Society's decision to allow garden gnomes – humorous creatures commonly associated with the landscapes of the unrich, the unfamous and the untasteful – at the Chelsea Flower Show this year elicited a variety of responses.

A girls' burden: hauling water in Lofa County, Liberia. |
UNICEF's overall objective in the water and sanitation sector is to promote the survival, protection and development of children, and to promote behavioural changes essential to realizing the full benefits of water and sanitation services.
These and other objectives cannot be met without the full participation of women. In much of the world, women and girls are traditionally responsible for domestic water supply and sanitation, and maintaining a hygienic home environment. As managers at the household level, women also have a higher stake in the improvement of water and sanitation services and in sustaining facilities.
UNICEF aims, through its country programmes, to promote the equal rights of women and girls and to support their full participation in the political, social, and economic development of their communities – UNICEF Mission Statement
UNICEF is working to ensure that women are directly involved in the planning and management of water supply and sanitation programmes, and that hygiene promotion interventions are specifically designed to reach women and girls.
UNICEF-supported programmes also strive to address the inequities suffered by women and girls related to water and sanitation services.
Women and girls bear the burden of fetching water – and as a result miss out on opportunities for education, productive activities or leisure time.

Distribution of the water collection burden among women, children under age 15 and men in households without piped water on premises, 25 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, 2006-2009 (per cent) |
Women and girls also pay the heaviest price for poor sanitation. There are many reasons, beyond the health repercussions of inadequate sanitation, for why it is a priority issue for women and girls:
Freedom from imprisonment by daylight
In many cultures, the only time available for women or girls to defecate, if they don't have a latrine, is after dark. Apart from the discomfort caused by the long wait, this can cause serious illness. And there is also a risk of harassment and assault during the night-time walk to and from the communal defecation fields.
School enrolment and attendance
The lack of safe, separate and private sanitation and washing facilities in schools is one of the main factors preventing girls from attending school, particularly when menstruating.
Reduce the burden of caring for the sick
The health and lives of more than half the world's children are constantly threatened by environmental hazards as they get sick through contact with excreta in their environment. Caring for sick children adds to the already heavy workload of women and girls.
Protect pregnant women from diseases
About 44 million pregnant women have sanitation-related hookworm infections that pose a considerable health burden in developing societies.

GmailFS: Using a mail account as a filesystem
Why let a 2 Gigabyte email account go to waste? GmailFS lets you use Gmail as a storage medium for a mountable filesystem.
Google's Gmail webmail system [1] has been heralded as a new vision for Internet mail. A Gmail account comes with a full 2 GB of available file storage. According to the company, a Gmail account means you never have to throw away any messages. Of course, offering 2 GB of storage to a Linux user only opens the door for more innovation. It wasn't long before the Linux community had a whole new use for this 2 GB storage space that was completely different from Google's original intention. GmailFS, created by Richard Jones [2], uses the 2 GB Gmail storage space as a network-based, mountable Linux filesystem.

Romney Can Still Win The Election
Of particular interest was Mitt Romney's image. The commentators said his campaign was "small and tactical" and "mostly reactive to the president".
They all agreed that from here on, Romney needs to be straightforward and assertive in communicating his beliefs and ideas to the American people.
"If you are Mitt Romney (...) you get yourself together put fundraisers aside; you go to the public, make speeches and some commercials which show America what you stand for, what you're going to do and why the American people should follow you," said Wall Street columnist, Peggy Noonan who called the Romney campaign "a rolling calamity" in her WSJ column earlier this week.
David Corn, the Mother Jones journalist responsible for breaking the story on the 47 percent video, was not so forgiving:
"People look at him and don't see a steady hand," said David Corn. "The problem with the campaign is the candidate: Mitt Romney has been campaigning for seven years, being all sorts of different things and not having a core message in his pursuit of the presidency."
This lack of consistency was further thrown into the spotlight by President Obama's campaign, which they said succeeds in this area.
"The Obama campaign strategy comes from the president. He puts together his vision [and his] policy agenda; they're his own ideas and [he] puts it together into a political strategy. It seems much more integrated campaign, " Corn said.
Another point that was brought up during the commentary was Romney's poor handling of the Libya crisis, and how his inflammatory and misplaced statements in the aftermath of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens' death has led Republicans to consider bringing in an "old hand" to lead Romney through the campaign.
Noonan encouraged this action in her column where she mentioned James A. Baker III (he ran Ronald Reagan's campaign in 1984 and George H.W. Bush's in 1988) as a potential candidate.
CBS Political Director, John Dickerson also agreed with the necessity of bringing in an "old-hand":
"Gov. Romney jumped in the middle of the Middle East crisis(…) and then he disappeared on the issue. We've since learned that this administration at first, thought that this uprising in Libya was something that bubbled from the ground [but] now they're calling it a terrorist attack. Well, what went wrong? What did you get wrong in the first place? Why weren't you securing the embassy how you should've been securing it in the first place? These are points that a Republican can make, that Mitt Romney needs to make since he is the one who jumped in, but he hasn't come back to it. What an old hand might do is say 'look you have to prosecute the case against the president in this way and not just let it be'."
By considering bringing in someone to lead Romney's campaign for him, the Republicans look as if they have lost faith in their candidate.
What may directly cost Romney his candidacy then, are not his rash statements or his campaign's passive, reactive attitude, but rather Mitt Romney's disconnect from the majority of the country (and now, seemingly, his fellow Republicans). A disconnect so marked, that the commentators diagnosed Romney as having an "authenticity problem" which is acting as a barrier between him and ambivalent voters who are wary of extending Obama's presidency, but prefer him to a candidate that is perceived as having "no rudder".
In a telling interview on Meet The Press this Sunday, host David Gregory asked the Republican presidential candidate about what he thought of his "out-of-touch" image. One which was recently reinforced by his comment that "his job is not to care for those [47 percent] people."
"Those people that try and minimize the feeling and connection that we have with the American people are missing the mark pretty badly and are trying to divide Americans based on who has money, and who is able to achieve success and who does not have as much and frankly, Americans are not defined by whether they were succesful financially or not, we are a nation that has come together."

ASA clears Channel 4's 'Bigger. Fatter. Gypsier' ads
Channel 4's controversial ad campaign for the TV show Big Fat Gypsy Weddings will not be investigated by the Advertising Standards Authority.
Big Fat Gypsy Weddings: poster campaign escapes investigation
The ASA received 316 complaints about the ad campaign, which shows the tagline "Bigger. Fatter. Gypsier" against a photo of two traveller boys and another of dressed-up young girls. The campaign was created by Channel 4's in-house operation, 4Creative.
The ASA has been considering the complaints for the past week and has now decided not to investigate the campaign.
The general nature of the complaints to the ASA were that the ads were offensive because they were racist and denigrated Gypsy and traveller communities and that the ads featuring children were offensive, irresponsible and harmful because they might encourage bullying.
A spokesman for the ASA said: "We carefully considered the complaints and, while we acknowledged that the ads might not be to everyone's taste, we noted that both the images and the text reflected the tone and content of the programme they promoted.
"For these reasons, we did not consider the ads were likely to cause serious or widespread offence or be seen as irresponsible or harmful and will not therefore be taking any further action."
Earlier this week, the programme's sponsor, Honda, distanced itself from the programme and the ad campaign, but then updated its statement to say it had approved the campaign as recently as last week.
In an updated statement, Paul Ormond, the general manager, corporate affairs, at Honda UK, said: "Both Honda and Channel 4 approved the poster campaign, which uses the word 'Gypsier' – the focus of complaints.
"The word 'Gypsier' refers to the fact that the series provides greater insight into the communities featured – it was never intended to be offensive."
Earlier this week 17-year-old Romany gypsy Pip Mckenzie wrote an open letter to Channel 4 on his blog in which he told of how the last series of 'Big Fat Gypsy Weddings' contributed to the bullying of traveller children.
Mckenzie said he was disappointed with the ASA's decision. He said: "I have received a lot of support from the gypsy and traveller community as well as the settled community who have expressed their anger both with the advertising campaign and the show itself.
"It is unfortunate that the ASA seem oblivious to the public outrage at Channel 4. However with the issue receiving a lot of media attention I hope that this will not be the last we hear of it.
"The campaign for equality for gypsies and travellers has strengthened significantly since the Dale Farm eviction and with support growing everyday I am confident Channel 4 will see the errors of their ways."

Looking To Choose If Online Payday Loans Are To Suit Your Needs?
May 21st, 2013 by posterGet urgent $ 300 online payday loan lenders direct Austin, TX no credit check fast approval friendly services. You can also apply urgent $ 400 payday loans direct lender Memphis Tennessee within one hour
Are you experiencing difficulty spending a costs today? Do you require some more bucks to help you get through the 7 days? A payday loan can be what you require. In the event you don't determine what that may be, it is actually a simple-phrase financial loan, that may be effortless for many people to acquire. Nonetheless, the following tips let you know of a few things you should know initially.
You will find a large number of firms that give away online payday loans. Ensure you do your homework for just about any business that you will be contemplating working together with. Be sure that there were content customers previously. You can do a web-based research of the company and study testimonials.
Should you not have ample resources on your check to pay back the money, a payday loan company will encourage you to definitely roll the amount more than. This only will work for the payday loan company. You can expect to wind up capturing oneself and never having the capability to pay back the money.
If you find oneself bound to a payday loan that you just are unable to pay back, phone the money company, and lodge a complaint. Almost everyone has legit grievances, regarding the higher service fees incurred to prolong online payday loans for the next pay out time. Most creditors will provide you with a deduction on your financial loan service fees or curiosity, nevertheless, you don't get when you don't request — so make sure you request!
Do your homework on any loan providers you are interested in for a payday loan. Don't choose a company just because they appear great in tv commercials. Do online study, concentrating on consumer recommendations, prior to deciding to give any company your own details. You will have a far better financial loan practical experience if you choose a trusted company.
A better option to a payday loan is to start your own personal unexpected emergency bank account. Place in a bit funds from each income until you have an effective quantity, like $500.00 roughly. Instead of accumulating the top-curiosity service fees that the payday loan can incur, you could have your own personal payday loan proper at your banking institution. If you have to utilize the funds, start preserving again right away just in case you need unexpected emergency resources later on.
Take into account online shopping for a payday loan, when you need to take one particular out. There are various web sites offering them. If you require one particular, you will be previously limited on funds, why squander gas driving all around looking for the one that is wide open?

Documenting the times can help you bear in mind, so that you have no troubles with your banking institution.
Restrict your payday loan borrowing to twenty-five percent of your complete income. A lot of people get lending options for additional funds than they could ever dream about paying back in this particular simple-phrase design. By getting just a quarter of the income in financial loan, you are more likely to have enough resources to get rid of this financial loan as soon as your income lastly arrives.
Since loan providers made it really easy to get a payday loan, many individuals use them when they are not inside a situation or unexpected emergency situation. This will trigger people to come to be comfortable making payment on the high rates of interest so when an emergency occurs, they may be inside a horrible position as they are previously overextended.
Restrict the total amount you obtain coming from a paycheck loan company to what you can reasonably pay off. Some loan providers make an effort to lure you in to a debt snare by providing additional money than you really need. Acquiring you into trouble will mean more income for these people.
Determine what service fees the paycheck loan providers fee just before using the services of them. You may have to pay as much as 40 percent of what you loaned. You may have to pay out a 300-500 pct APR. That amount will go even better when you don't pay out on your following pay out cycle.
Sign up for your payday loan first thing within the day time. Numerous creditors have a stringent quota on the amount of online payday loans they could provide on any day time. When the quota is strike, they near up retail outlet, and you are out of luck. Get there earlier to avoid this.
When you sign up for a payday loan, you will be actually taking out your upcoming income in addition dropping some of it. Alternatively, spending this prices are often required, to acquire by way of a limited press in everyday life. In any case, knowledge is potential. Ideally, this information has motivated you to definitely make educated decisions.

Wineglasses with fantastic "dragon" stems, sometimes known as serpent glasses, were first made in Venice in the late sixteenth century. They became popular and were widely produced in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Northern Europe by the middle of the seventeenth century. Though difficult to make, serpent glasses were once fairly common. Due to their excessive fragility, however, early examples, such as this one and two others in the Robert Lehman Collection, are relatively rare.

Newstalk ZB
By: Newstalk ZB staff | International News | Thursday August 16 2012 6:04
The Duke of Edinburgh has been taken to hospital in Aberdeen by ambulance - the third time in eight months he's been hospitalised. Sky News reports that the palace says it's a "precautionary measure". Prince Philip was at Balmoral Castle with the Queen. It's the third time the 91-year-old has ended up in hospital in the last eight months. Daily Express royal correspondent Richard Palmer says Buckingham Palace is giving little away at the moment. He says they're waiting for a full assessment from the experts at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary before they release any further information about how serious this is. The editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, Ingrid Seward, says this is a clear message to the 91-year-old, to slow down. She says it's really his age that's against him and the amount of work he does, and that she thinks he's probably physically and mentally exhausted. Ingrid Seward says the operation he had at Christmas gave him more energy. He says he's very much a doer and not a spectator, and this is his problem, he finds it very difficult to slow down. The Royals had been touring on the Isle of Wight in the last few days. |

The near pristine environment of Antarctica will in time come under a threat in future as the world's oil supplies dwindle, a University of Canterbury expert said today.
The polar continent may need greater protection to save it from exploitation by increasingly desperate oil-hungry nations, UC's Gateway Antarctica director Bryan Storey said today.
While mining is banned by the Antarctic Treaty, pressure may mount on Antarctica - the final frontier. The Madrid Protocol was signed in 1991 by signatories to the Antarctic Treaty banning mining; this is up for review in 2048. The Madrid Protocol became law in 1998.
Antarctica is known to have minerals, oil and gas deposits. Coal has been found in Antarctica; and iron ore is present in surface rocks and has been traced deep under the ice. Rocks in Antarctica have been suggested to contain oil or gas.
Professor Storey said a high proportion of ethane and heavier hydrocarbons has been found in drill holes in the Ross Sea region. The Wall Street Journal years ago quoted estimates of 45 billion barrels of crude oil and 115 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Scientists drilling the Antarctic seabed have found a very high probability that oil and gas deposits exist just off shore from Australia's Davis and Mawson bases.
``We have every reason to believe that Antarctica has the potential for large mineral and oil resources. If we go back more than 180 million years Antarctica was the centre of a large continent Gondwana the geological history of which I have been researching for over 30 years,'' Professor Storey said.
``All the neighbouring continents that Antarctica was connected to, South America, Africa, India and Australia have all large mineral resources and many of the relevant geological formations continue into Antarctica.
``Furthermore Antarctica as a result of having separated from those continents is surrounded by sedimentary basins that are likely to contain substantial oil resources.''
It is widely assumed that the Madrid Protocol ends in 2048 but this is not the case, Professor Storey said. The Protocol can be "reviewed" if one of the Antarctic Treaty consultative states asked for a review after 50 years that was 2048.
However, the big question is, will the protocol last the duration or will economic and political pressure for resources result in mineral resources being extracted from Antarctica within the next 36 years? Dr Storey said.
``Anyone who has worked in Antarctica does not want it to happen. My hope is that we will eventually get the message about climate change and move away from a carbon based economy and not be so dependent on oil and oil based products. Hopefully this will happen before the pressure to extract resources from Antarctica becomes a reality.''
Professor Storey will be delivering an address on the issue at Icefest in Christchurch on Saturday.

Refrigerant leaks in eighteen RTU's - acidic condensate
This has got to be an air quality issue:
So we have a customer - a moving company - that owns an A/C storage warehouse with eighteen rtu's. Every one of them has refrigerant leaks. Most of the units are about eight years old, but refrigerant is leaking even in units that are 1-2 years old. There is a noticeable accelerated corrosion on the evaporator end plates and drain pans.
We have just received results from water tests we did on the condensate, and the pH is between 4.3 and 4.8. Pretty low, right? Has anybody seen this before? What might cause it?
The only lead I have is that I think they are running propane forklifts inside. Could the exhaust somehow make the condensate acidic?

That's probably a good guess. I've seen the condensate from 90% furnaces eat through copper drain lines and etch 1/4" gouges in concrete.Also saw vtk's vented backwards so the exhaust sucked right back into the intake, rusted out heat exchangers in less than 3 years. Seems like tin end plates wouldn't stand a chance.

The National Community Stabilization Trust is a national nonprofit organization working with the nation's largest financial institutions and local housing providers across the U.S. to reclaim neighborhoods hard hit by high levels of foreclosure and abandonment. The Stabilization Trust supports the stabilization of distressed neighborhoods by ensuring local housing providers have the right tools to transform empty, foreclosed properties into community assets that increase the stock of affordable ownership and rental housing for working families.
The Stabilization Trust helps communities pave the path to neighborhood stability in two ways:
Creates a bridge between financial institutions and local housing providers across the country. The Stabilization Trust provides the only nationwide platform that gives local housing providers a clear, consistent, and straight path to acquire foreclosed and abandoned properties from financial institutions.
- Provides flexible financing to support and expand local programs. By leveraging scarce public and non-profit resources with flexible private funds, the Stabilization Trust ensures that local housing providers have the capital to make investments that have a deeper impact to create vibrant, stable communities.
Formed in 2008, the Stabilization Trust is sponsored by six leading national organizations in the housing and community development field, and was created expressly for the purpose of assisting local communities to weather the foreclosure crisis.

Grant Museum Exhibitions
The Micrarium | On now |Previous Exhibitions
The Micrarium: A Place for Tiny Things
The Micrarium is a place for tiny things - somewhere to come and explore the microscopic specimens at the Grant Museum.
often said that 95% of known animal species are smaller than your
thumb, but have you noticed how most museums fill their displays with
big animals? We intend to right this wrong, and in January 2013 we built The Micrarium.
We have converted an
old office/storeroom into a beautiful back-lit cave displaying some of
the tiniest specimens in the collection, on wall-to-wall microscope
slides. Museums very rarely display objects like this, and we are
experimenting with an aesthetic way of doing so.
Video and more information are on the UCL News page and there are a number of posts about it over on our blog.
On now
Artist Sarah Cameron
from the UCL Slade School of Fine Art was commissioned to develop a
huge mural for the Grant Museum's foyer. What she came up with was a
trompe l'oeil of a museum cabinet filled with our objects.
painting has been made so that from the angle and height of the
artist's eye, the solid wall looks like a three dimensional cabinet,
enticing the viewer – in a quest to align and distort the illusion – to a
position of questioning.
The shifting perspective is
indicative of the individual nature of peoples' experiences of the
collection. This runs parallel to the Museum's perceived role: the
pursuit of taxonomic investigation. The collection is modified according
to its viewer.
The painting was made without the use of digital
aids, grids or formulae. You can read more about the artistic concept
and process here.
Visitors often ask whether we ever add to the collection. This mini-exhibition displays some of the specimens we have acquired recently, and explains why we only accept things that we can use, and that we have to say "no" to most objects we are offered.
QRator: Current Questions and iPads
The Grant Museum is a centre for discussion and dialogue.
Ten of our displays have iPads attached asking visitors to get involved
in conversations about the role of science in society and how museum
should be run. Visitors can respond on our iPads, on their own smart
phones using QR codes or the Tales of Things App, via Twitter using #GrantQR and @uclmuseums or on their home computers.
Get involved in the conversations at http://www.qrator.org/
These questions will change every few months. The project - called QRator - has been developed in partnership with UCL Centre for Advanced Spacial Analysis and UCL Digital Humanities, funded by UCL Public Engagement Unit.
Previous Exhibitions
It Came from the Stores
- July- August 2012
Only 5% of the Grant Museum collection is on display in the museum, the rest of the collection is material not suitable for display but is used in teaching and research. Many visitors ask us about our stored collections and this pigeon hole installation displays a small selection of material otherwise undisplayable….. until now.
Buried on Campus
April-July 2012
A huge mass of human bones was discovered in UCL during construction
work in 2010. This installation displays the investigations undertaken
to discover what they are and why they were buried. Remains of at least
84 individual people and many animals have been identified. Uncover
where they came from and what we can learn from them in this unusual
exhibition co-curated by UCL forensic anatomists and osteologists.
The UCL News article can be found here: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/news-articles/1204/120423-buried-on-campus
Art by Animals
February-April 2012
Do animals make art? This exhibition includes paintings by apes and
elephants and examines whether they are artistic works or just pointless
lines on a page.
Placing their handiwork alongside animal specimens and historical
documentation we explore why some animal creations are considered
valuable and creative, while others are dismissed as meaningless.
Here is a video about the exhibition:
Fish in Science: Zebrafish at UCL
October - December 2011
Fish have been used in science since the early 20th century. Working with the UCL Zebrafish Facility,
the Grant Museum's new pigeon hole exhibition looks at the role of fish
in science, focusing on zebrafish. Because of the transparency of the
embryos and their high reproductive rate, zebrafish became a popular
species for developmental biology in the late 1970s. More recently this
popularity has extended to human disease research such as cancer and
tissue regeneration studies - including cardiac and spinal regeneration.

I am delighted to have received a copy of Sara Bronin's article, The Quiet Revolution Revived: Sustainable Design, Land Use Regulation, and the States, published in November of last year by the Minnesota Law Review (93 Minnesota Law Review 231-73 (2008)).
Those of you who attended Sara's workshop on the topic know that the article begins with an important observation: Contemporary land use regulations have failed to keep up with recent developments in design. Builders looking to save water and energy, employ recycled materials, and improve indoor air quality often encounter obstacles from local land use ordinances. Consider, for example, the clash between solar panels and aesthetic concerns or the tension between new energy-efficient windows and historic preservation. Much of the piece tours the reader through these conflicts and illustrates how progress in sustainable design will depend upon an improved regulatory approach.
In the published version, Sara has added a theme exemplified by the title: The Quiet Revolution Revived. Sara builds upon a 1971 book The Quiet Revolution in Land Use Control by Fred Bosselman and David Callies, in which these scholars predicted a growing role for state governments in land use regulation. Sara explains why tradition and local officials' fierce claims to autonomy prevented this revolution from materializing. Yet she argues that the new emphasis on sustainable design may prove to be this subject's shot heard 'round the world. She is entirely convincing in her argument that national regulation of land use is unlikely and regional cooperation very difficult to accomplish. Thus she asserts that regulation at the state level is the best hope for environmentally sensitive land use controls. Particularly useful are her examples from Connecticut, California, and Arizona of how states can guide localities in a "green" direction without trampling on local autonomy. Whether the law will evolve in this direction, of course, remains to be seen. But her concluding note that we plan to repair or replace 75% of our building stock over the next two decades, and that sustainable design can cut greenhouse gas emissions by 30% make it imperative that serious attention continue to be devoted to this topic. Congratulations Sara!

The jewelry produced in the 19th century is characterized by a stylistic eclecticism that takes its inspiration from all past styles—Gothic, Renaissance, Greek, Etruscan and Roman, Rococo, Naturalistic, Moorish, and Indian, all tinged with the Sir Walter Scott–Lord Byron Romanticism of the period. The futility of transferring forms of artistic expression from an era in which they were the result of organic aesthetic development and of adopting them for objects that reflect only a gesture of romantic admiration is evident in the painting by Jacques-Louis David (Louvre, Paris) immortalizing Napoleon's coronation ceremony in 1804. The painting provides documentation on the precious ornaments worn by the ladies who were present. In their jewelry, the conventional, rhetorical Empire style appears as a strict, uninspired interpretation of Classical motifs, a far cry from the exquisite Neoclassicism of the 18th century.
Besides mass production, the 19th century saw the establishment of large artistic commercial firms that produced high-quality jewelry suited to the requirements of the prosperous new bourgeois class. While always satisfying very high standards in regard to technique and materials, these firms tended, from the aesthetic point of view, to reflect the tastes of a bourgeois clientele, which are usually quite traditional.
The oldest of the firms was the one founded by Peter Carl Fabergé in St. Petersburg in 1870, which took over from the firm his father had started in 1842. Fabergé attained great renown at the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1900, where for the first time he put on display all the imperial Easter eggs that he had created, together with a selection of other "luxurious objects." Fabergé used a greater variety of precious and semiprecious stones than almost any other jeweler in history. He had a strong preference for the Louis XVI style but also made numerous objects in the Italian Renaissance, Rococo, and medieval styles, as well as in the so-called old Russian style, which is a mixture of Byzantine and Baroque elements. Decoration with enameling, too, was one of the main specialties of the Fabergé firm.
In Paris in 1898 Alfred Cartier and his son Louis founded a jewelry firm of great refinement. The firm was distinguished for a production characterized by very fine settings, largely of platinum, which were designed so that only the precious stones, always selected from the very purest, were visible. At the beginning of the 20th century, Cartier was the most famous jeweler in the world, supplying jewels to the king of Portugal, the duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the grand dukes and princes of Russia, the Prince of Wales, and other notables.
In the United States in 1851 Charles Lewis Tiffany (father of Louis Comfort Tiffany, one of the most original of the Art Nouveau artist-craftsmen) began producing silverware according to English "sterling" standards in New York City. In 1886 he introduced the Tiffany setting, a special type of fork for the setting of diamonds. Among his clients was President Abraham Lincoln.
Other high-quality jewelry firms founded in the 19th century were Van Cleef & Arpels in Paris, Bulgari in Rome, Asprey & Company in London, Black, Starr & Frost in New York City, and Patek Philippe in Geneva.
The development of the movement called Art Nouveau at the end of the 19th century represented a reaction against the imitation of ancient styles and the emphasis given, in the creation of jewelry, to precious stones. The material used for Art Nouveau jewelry was prized not for its intrinsic value but for its ability to render a design or to carry out chromatic effects. The new jewelry was made from any material that would best express the new symbolic or decorative ideas. Vegetable and animal components, together with the feminine figure, formed the basis for compositions made of flowing lines of rich plastic and chromatic effect and antistructural, dynamic design on a high artistic level.
In Paris, through the works he presented at the Salon du Champ de Mars in 1895, René Lalique (1860–1945) achieved a position of European renown and importance. Lalique personified the Art Nouveau jeweler-artist, his works providing evidence of such highly personal taste that they can be compared to Renaissance jewels. They lean toward a symbolism carried out by the use of milky or watery blue-green colours; of stones such as the opal; of disquieting animals such as the snake, the owl, the octopus, and the bat; and of feminine figures, usually enigmatic, mysterious, and dreamy. Enamel, ivory, vitreous paste, and engraved glass were often used by Lalique to obtain pictorial and plastic effects in his jewels.
Unlike Lalique, the jewelers Georges Fouquet (1858–1929) and Henri Vever (1854–1942) expressed themselves through more synthetic geometric forms. The pendant representing a butterfly by Fouquet and the bracelet and ring for the actress Sarah Bernhardt (both in the Périnet Collection, Paris) show a carefully thought-out stylization.
The Czechoslovak graphic designer Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939), who worked in Paris, created a number of jewelry designs, transferring his brilliant talent as an illustrator to precious stones and metals.
In the United States the floral style in jewelry found one of its most highly personal interpreters in Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933), one of the greatest of all American designers. In the creation of jewelry he expressed himself at first by transferring to Art Nouveau forms the colourful Oriental and Byzantine style that so fascinated him. Later he adopted Lalique's French Symbolism, on which he set his own stylistic mark. His development of the richly coloured, iridescent Favrile glass created an international sensation.

This chart serves as an indication only. Exact sizes may vary depending on individual body structure. Bibs might pull when standing upright- this is normal. Assos products are tailored for the cycling position. Cut anatomically without movement restriction on the bike.
Assos garments are cut to fit a cyclists' body. Meaning, Assos contours your body, protecting it without applying pressure when you are on your bicycle.
Not buying the right size (too big or too small) will either result in comfort, performance, or longevity problems. If a garment is too big, it will provoke skin irritation (because the garment moves around causes friction) and it will not keep you dry enough (the Assos "als" principle cannot function properly). When a garment is too small, the seams and fabric are under too much stress and this wil result in fabric pilling and deterioration.
