Determined Construction Accident Lawyers Protecting Your Rights in Springfield & Peoria, IL
Skilled attorneys help you recover damages after a worksite accident
Working in construction can be very dangerous. Every day, you're exposed to hazards, including heights, heavy machinery, dangerous chemicals and even negligent coworkers. When an accident occurs, you may be partially or totally disabled and unable to return to work to earn an income for yourself and your loved ones. At the Illinois construction accident law firm of Boshardy Law Office, P.C., our lawyers have years of experience handling construction accident compensation claims and delivering dependable legal guidance and personal attention. Trust us to aggressively seek the workers' comp benefits you need after a construction accident.
Common causes of construction site accidents
With all the dangerous situations and equipment at the typical construction site, accidents happen regularly. The following are some of the most common we see:
- Inappropriate safety devices. If your employer has not provided you with appropriate safety gear, you may suffer serious injuries. Safety gear may include hard hats, straps for properly securing loads and safety harnesses to keep you from falling from heights.
- Struck by falling items. Tools, equipment and unsecured building materials can fall on you at a construction site, resulting in lasting injuries. Even objects falling from a shelf can cause injuries to your head, neck, back, shoulders and spine.
- Overexertion. Construction is a physical job involving long hours on your feet and performing the same tasks repeatedly — sometimes in bad weather. You may also be asked to lift and move heavy objects. These actions may cause repetitive trauma injuries to the joints, extremities and other areas of the body.
A construction accident law firm can help you seek damages
Our attorneys work hard to get you the workers' compensation benefits or personal injury settlement you deserve after a work injury on a construction site.

Update: Applications are now closed. Thank you for your interest.
Read here for an update about the next steps!
Original post:
The cold weather is barely behind us, but ODHK Admin series is waking up from its hibernation slumber. We left last year's admin discussion with a rough outline of what we wanted for ODHK's incorporation, but it also became clear that the structure of the organisation and its legal footing are two separate steps which can be taken in turn. So we are now moving to form an Executive Committee for Open Data Hong Kong. For the overall structure of ODHK, the Executive Committee (ExCom) is responsible for the leadership of ODHK, whereas Working Groups (WG) will form the operational backbone of the organisation. WGs can be either project-specific (e.g. hosting a LegCo Hack, or building a FOI portal), domain-specific (e.g. Open Science, Data Journalism), or dedicated to a particular function (e.g. Communications, Events). The WG leads are responsible for coordinating their operations, and act as a link with the ExCom by seeking its support for plans and informing them of developments. The ExCom itself is a group of five individuals which is responsible for:
- Strategic and tactical decision-making for ODHK
- Coordination with Communications WG to make plans and decisions public
- Interfacing with WG leads
- Incorporation of ODHK within 6 months.
As one of the goals of the ExCom is to define the terms of incorporation, the positions on ExCom will soon be up for re-election. We are limiting the initial terms of ExCom membership so the leadership structure can be independently decided upon from those who will take up leadership of the incorporated entity. Anyone can apply to become a member of ExCom by sending in their responses to the following questions:
- What's your vision for the organisation?
- How do you see your role in getting there?
- Why are you suitable for the coordination of ODHK?
- What do you see as being the greatest challenges for ODHK?
To apply
Please provide your answers via this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1cc8TAJYFsNdNXbykA3tesJC2kwn922mdcpv7-d732uc/viewform The applications are made public for review by the membership. Applicants can then discuss with one another to form teams of five people who think together they would present the best possible leadership for ODHK. Once a team is formed, it will announce its ticket and strategic goals to the wider membership. At the next Admin meeting, the teams will seek the approval of the membership. Anyone who was attended at least one ODHK event is eligible to vote. Voting is anonymous. The team with the most votes is elected. The event and deadline dates are:
- 13 Feb : This announcement was posted
- 28 Feb : Deadline for applications for ExCom positions
- 7 Mar : Deadline for teams to announce themselves
- 25 Mar : ExCom election at Meet.17 [edited]
As a voluntary organisation we will always rely on the passion and goodwill of our members to lead projects, to take up positions and to contribute where they can. The existence of a ExCom won't change that. However, the ExCom is there to support the WGs and the idea is that members can take their projects up with the ExCom which will then see what resources can be made available to support the project. ODHK wants to act as a catalyst for Open Data projects, so that we can support great ideas and cultivate different approaches to infusing Open Data into the way Hong Kong is run. Very much looking forward to your applications and to see what we can do together for Open Data Hong Kong.

It's no secret that Toyota is having major issues with its vehicles as of late. Business Week is examining ways in which American automakers can use the recent recalls to their advantage.
With Toyota's reputation now muddied, American automakers are poised to inherit its customers. The trick, according to analysts, is to draw business to their side without seeming predatory in doing so. "Disparagement or gloating," GM marketing chief Robert Lutz wrote in an e-mail, "will only trigger a sympathy backlash in favor of Toyota."
Detroit doesn't have a whole lot to brag about right now, but new developments could change the game in the near future. The Chevy Volt, set to debut this fall, is four times as fuel-efficient as the 2010 Prius and will produce enough units after 2012 to take a large bite out of Toyota's share of the hybrid market. Ford's recent focus on smaller, sportier cars such as the Fiesta and Focus also threatens to pull some of Toyota's younger, less loyal customer base away.
However, the Detroit automakers are not the only ones looking to capitalize on Toyota's problems. Honda, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai and others could also gain market share when all is said and done. Whatever the case, Detroit's window of opportunity won't stay open for long. "If you're going to grab market share from Toyota," says Consumer Reports, "you have to do it in the next nine months."

Jonathan Williams The Lord of Orchards: an anthology
Jeffery Beam is an old friend and a wonderful poet whose work is often celebrated here. In 2009, a year after the passing of Jonathan Williams, he and Richard Owens published online a "festschrift" of remembrances and appreciations in honor of Williams and his accomplishments as small press publisher (especially of The Black Mountain School poets), photographer, writer and cultural bloodhound in a lifelong pursuit of a "poetics of gathering." The print version, with many excellent additions, has now been published.
The image above is my copy of the book, from Prospecta Press, and my copy of a postcard*, pictured on the back of the book, which I received in 1980 from a dear artist friend who purchased it at the Gotham Bookshop. I met Jonathan Williams at a small press fair in Carrboro where we each had a table. Over the years, Jargon Society titles and broadsides of JW's poetry have come my way and kept me intrigued with the noble, eclectic, Epicurean curmudgeon of Highlands.
The title of the book comes from a JW poem:
the Lord of Orchards
selects his fruit
in the Firmament's
JW had many titles, most of his own epistolary stylings: Lord Nose, the Colonel, J Jeeter Swampwater, Big Enis. He was also called, by Hugh Kenner, Custodian of Snowflakes and Truffle-Hound of American Poetry, in honor of his indefatigable efforts to find and preserve culture, some found in the oddest places. He was a champion of Outsider artists, a curator of obscure literary references and a model for all those who shared or admired his "deep affection for the strange." With Jargon Society Press, he presented the world with much important writing, well after his heyday of publishing cohorts at BMC, where JW enrolled in 1951 in order to study photography with Harry Callahan.
The BMC connections are strong but complicated,as described in Ross Hair's essay in this book, entitled "Hemi-Demi-Semi Barbaric Yawps" – Jonathan Williams and Black Mountain College. He came late in the existence of this doomed educational icon, and immediately developed a strong but somewhat antagonistic relationship with Charles Olson, who JW found to be "an extremely enkindling sort of man." As publisher, JW helped establish some BMC reputations but also applied his always broad skills as book designer and editor to create a unique body of published work that celebrates the visionary creativity to be found in the South. Mr. Hair well describes the way JW's absolutely wide-open close attention and curiosity regarding all cultural phenomenon, in his poetry and publishing, provides a balance to the hyper-masculine and exclusionary influences of Olson's BMC era.
The anthology, like the original online feature, contains four sections: Remembering (memorial writings), Responding (literary analysis), Reviewing (his photography), and Recollecting (appreciations of Jargon Society Press). Additions included in the print version include letters between JW and his first partner, Ronald Johnson, a recounting of the publication of White Trash Cooking, and transcripts of interview/film sessions with Neal Hutcheson. Congratulations to Jeffery and long live the memory of Jonathan Williams, a true original. My favorite JW broadside, reprinted from Pairadaeza for a reading at NC Wesleyan College, reads thus:
*Poet's Silhouette (1951): Looking Forward to a Lifetime of meditation on a Text by R.B. Kitaj. NYC 1978, Artists Postcards.

The BMCMAC Fires All Cylinders for Ray J's Paper Snake Show
Something Else Entirely
Ray Johnson, Dick Higgins + the making of The Paper Snake
The summer 2015 show at the Black Mountain College Museum in Asheville presented newly re-discovered archives of publication material for Ray Johnson's The Paper Snake, designed and published by Ray's good friend Dick Higgins in 1965 as the second title from Higgins' Something Else Press. Curator Michael Von Uchtrup found the production material in a large brown paper envelope among the many items in William S. Wilson's Ray Johnson archive. The envelope lay unopened for 50 years. The exhibit displays original collages, design proofs, an autographed copy of the very rare first printing, and various related material, including hilarious "promotion flyers" produced by Ray for the book. The show came on the heels of the reprinting of The Paper Snake by Siglio Press in 2014.
"The show is full of mysteries," stated Von Uchtrup at the opening reception on June 5, 2015. The Paper Snake is nearly as much about Dick Higgins' "translation" of Ray Johnson's ideas as it is a record of one stream of Ray's voluminous sendings. Higgins selected and sometimes altered the material, often to Ray's dismay. Many of the proof pages and original art for the book showed significant differences from the final book, and a few bits of the text seemed to be written by Higgins. Still, the book and the show are filled with lists, tiny plays, letters, quotes from reading, and all the other unique fusions of art, communication and humor found in Ray Johnson's work.
This was a show to read more than to view. Though greatly enhanced by several early collages on loan from Bill Wilson, the bulk of the show was devoted to images directly related to The Paper Snake. Large proofs sequenced on the wall enabled one to actually stand and read the book in proof form.The display tables held much dense typescript that usually rewarded closer inspection. A special treat was the audio-visuals: three audio-cassette records of performance works by Ray Johnson, a Dick Higgins poem recitation, and 1965 8mm films of Ray. Even the book selection on the sales shelf offered a wide and valuable range of titles relevant to the show, including of course, the book itself. The reprint was issued in the same print run as the original, 1840 copies. Siglio Press calls it a "vertiginous,mind-bending artist's book … far ahead of its time."
The events surrounding the show not only illuminated the book but also presented a fine example of the wonderful work done by the BMCMAC staff and its presenters in providing context and local artistic collaboration to deepen our connection to Black Mountain College. The day after the reception, the curator was joined by Julie J. Thomson for a freely flowing discussion based on slide images of the career and artistic significance of Ray Johnson. Julie has set herself the task of discovering "how one becomes an artist like Ray Johnson," and her close reading of resonances within the book and her honest embrace of the ambiguity and occasional frustration of dissecting Ray's inscrutable processes made for a fascinating sharing. Michael Von Uchtrup is working on a biography of Ray, and he emphasized many learnable moments derived from close attention to the materials in his discovery. Julie and Michael's reminiscences of interviews and anecdotes echoed a strong theme in the documentary film about Ray: no one really knew Ray Johnson, or everyone knew a different side of him. Julie and Michael's perspectives on the show were offered in full length essays in the large brochure accompanying the show.
On July 3rd, a full audience enjoyed the presentation of "In the Arm of Flowers", a performance by Megan Ransmeier and Julia Rich. The themes of correspondence, communication over space, and isolation played out in dance movements, readings and evocative vocalizations by the two artists. Their performance was based on three years of correspondence, and was dedicated to Ray's work. In the exhibit's final public event Alice Sebrell gave a strong introduction to the screening of "How to Draw a Bunny", the award-winning 2002 documentary featuring 1995 interviews with Christo, Chuck Close, Roy Lichtenstein and others.
This array of features was capped by the publication of Volume 8 of Black Mountain College Studies, which was dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Paper Snake as well as the exhibit under discussion. It includes essays, interviews, and many topics for further exploration. With Sebastian Matthew's 2010 show on Ray's early years, the BMCMAC has provided a Ray J fan (and past correspondent) like myself with a rich set of experiences and learning opportunities. This exhibit provided the general and artistic community with another window into the unique and ground-breaking work that emerged from BMC. It took some fairly esoteric and technical materials and turned them into a show and event schedule that provided for a very enriching summer at the BMCMAC.
At BMC Conference, Performances and Activities Rival Academics
Late September 2014 brought the 6th edition of Re Viewing: Black Mountain College, and my experience, as always, was to be re-invigorated with the vast lessons to be learned from attention to the process and people who inhabited that magical place between 1933 and 1957. This year's conference had writing as its theme, but the over-all thrust of the events took us well beyond the Olson era at the end of the college's life, which is usually the focus of BMC literary topics.
The conference is sponsored by the Black Mountain College Museum and Art Center, whose reception for an art show of Dan Rice's work is seen above. The BMCMAC is growing fast, with a growing permanent collection of BMC art and a newly announced expansion in downtown Asheville. Their conference has been held past two years at UNC-A's Reuter Center, a lifelong learning institute which serves as a slightly cramped but otherwise excellent venue. It was well attended by presenters from across the country, with a small international contingent as well. A special feature of the conference is the appearance of individuals directly connected to the college, and this year's prize was Ted Dreier, Jr, who spent his childhood there as his father Ted Sr. played a major role in college life and the business/finances of BMC. Ted Jr. shared many stories during the Sunday campus tour. It was also a great pleasure to meet the grandson of John Dewey, whose educational philosophy was a foundation of BMC.
The simultaneous events always means selection and rejection (or sneaking out and listening a bit). I started with electing for a writing workshop with Jeff Davis, who helped inspire the cut-up project pictured at the top of this post. Jeff had us participants write two words on a deck of 52 cards he provided. Then we dealt ten out and built poems with the selection using a couple of different procedures. We were emulating the "procedural writing" process used by BMC alumnus Jonathan Williams in writing his poem "Mahler: for Symphony No. 7 in B Minor." It was fun and Jeff offered enthusiastic appreciation for the ironies and amusing juxtapositions in the poems as we shared them. Jonathan's press, Jargon Society, is now under the auspices of the BMCMAC.
The next session also drew me to a decidedly non-academic presentation, where Ted Pope offered his unique brand of performance poetry. After a mesmerizing rendition of intricate classical guitar by his son, Ted set the tone for his own work by whipping his arrangement of antlers on a tree stump. This was followed by several energetic rants, including one that gave BMCMAC vice-chairman J. Richard Gruber "a whole new perspective on my home state of Kentucky." Ted's anarchic approach brings to life some of the spirit of the college, but also evokes a rich sense of the mountain man, wily and cultured in his own way, and helps define the sense of place that was a thread throughout the conference.
Mary Emma Harris, preeminent BMC researcher, and Vincent Katz, keynote speaker, focused on the growing international recognition of the importance and value of Black Mountain College studies and the profound model of experiential and self-directed education its history represents. The editors of the upcoming Anthology of Black Mountain College Poetry discussed their criteria, reflecting the strong literary importance of Olson and the Black Mountain poets as well as the diverse examples of good writing that permeated the entire span of the college's existence. Ray Johnson, my default interest at all conferences, is included in the anthology, and his writing is also featured in two newly published books: a new printing of Paper Snake and Not Nothing: Selected Writings, 1954-1994, both from Siglio Press. I honestly did not attend enough hard core lectures to report on the literary ideas at the conference, but instead continued my trend of taking in the active and participatory opportunities. They continued to be very rewarding.
When I walked into "Notes for Time and Place, an Improvisational Drawing Performance," I not only did not know what to expect, I did not recognize the mechanism sitting on the presenter's table. I might have, because I had seen a much earlier version. Mercedes Teixido has arranged the construction of a Jeffersonian copy machine, built in consultation with the curators of Monticello, and she uses this marvelous machine in her art endeavors. We were given written instructions (in duplicate copies), to peruse the Black Mountain College titles spread out on the table, and to read a passage aloud when the impulse struck us. The written "rules" stated that if we read a passage, she would make a drawing, and we could have one. As a group, we took a little warming up but eventually all of the audience read something aloud, and just as with Jeff Davis's "Chance of Magic" workshop, there were fun juxtapositions with and reactions to the readings.
Mercedes herself just listened and worked quietly. She patiently placed twin sheets of paper into her marvelous machine after each drawing, and after some time she spread out the twin line drawings for display. We were invited to take one of a pair, leaving her with a documentary set. It was a truly unique experience, and we all bonded a bit through listening to each other read. It was one of the best acts of artistic community-building I have ever seen, and highly appropriate to this conference about a college where art and life, the interior mind and the artistic act, were irrevocably entertwined.
The culmination of my conference experiences came with Re Weaving, a theatrical reading of letters between Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov. Monika's work attempts to expand our perspective on theater through unusual spaces, modes, or interactions between actors and audience. This performance drew on the powerful phrases of the original exchanges between Duncan and Levertov, but also enacted the spirit of BMC itself with its fresh approach and innovative techniques. The selection, repetition and rhythm of the words built an amazing dynamic between two very powerful and convincing characters ensconced in a stripped down, yet utterly convincing physical set.
This was another performance offered as an alternative to the academic presentations, this one outside on a patio of the Reuter Center, with the readers/actors under a rustic wooden trellis filled with vines. A few simple props (most magnificently exemplified by a manual typewriter) served to evoke the personal spaces of two people who send their thoughts and feelings across the continent. At times, they react in real time to each other's missives, at times the rapid exchanges represent an argument: there were no limiting rules in the creation of this dialogue. The power of the characters seems enhanced when they take their inner thoughts outside of the defined theatrical space: when David Novak stalks the character of Robert Duncan up the landscaped slope outside the trellis, it is as if he has left the theatrical space but taken us with him, witness to his silent but fully projected thoughts. Monika, who also stepped away as seen above, did her own magic with space, joining the audience and thrusting her hand up like a precocious schoolgirl at the famous Mr. Duncan, asking him the questions that beleaguered this passionate but probably unconsummated intellectual couple. It was a strong, effective and moving performance, honoring and exploring the range of artistic modes that characterize Black Mountain College.
But wait! Hang in there for the BMC campus and farm tour!
For me, the best was last this year. I finally took the Sunday tour, mainly because David Silver had asked me to read for his farm tour and I was thrilled to contribute, in a way however small, to this wonderful event. Mary Emma Harris started us with a tour of the original resort bought by Black Mountain College in 1941. Midway through her exposition of the dining hall and its central role in college life, Ted Dreier, Jr and his wife arrived, and Ms. Harris (as did David Silver later) graciously conceded the speaking stick to this true alumnus of BMC college life, as faculty kid and later as student. He shared wonderful memories about being allowed to sit at meals with students, about the tragedy of his brother's accidental death and the memorial construction of the Quiet House, and the communal exchange of the bulletin board in the student-constructed Study Hall.
The property purchased by the college is now divided: Camp Rockmount continues to host hundreds of boys each summer, but the upper reaches, including several original cabins and the farm area, still belong to the family who purchased the land from BMC in 1947. The son-in-law of that family, Leigh Maher, is on the BMCMAC board, and joined us for the tour of his part of property.
David Silver followed up his amazing multimedia event at the Hunt Library with a bang-up tour of the farm. He had several people read relevant passages as we stood in front of the barn and silo. Silver's numerous presentations have made it clear that the the farm was central to the life and very existence of the college, and that its abandonment in the final years not only left the students hungry enough to eat frog legs, but signaled the coming doom of the end. And yet, as Mary Emma Harris said, the real point is that it lasted as long as it did on such precarious financial ground, and lasted long enough to generate waves of students and ideas that permeate American art culture to this day.

Looking forward to attending the BMC conference at UNC-A's Reuter Center Sept. 26-28. Last year I did a silkscreen of an ancient motif – this year I am responding to the writing theme of this year's event with a give-away piece of hand-laid paper incorporating randomized sentences cut from a variety of sources.
I cut hundreds of sentences from some old paperback books lining my letterpress shop – the criteria being variety and nothing post-dating the lifetime of the college. These were spread out and "shuffled" thoroughly, then dropped into the vat of pulp a few at the time as I formed the sheets. Minor lifting and adjusting did not interfere with the groupings and each sheet has fun juxtapositions with occasional strong ironies. I made 52 to take to the conference.
The use of chance and spontaneous order is characteristic of some of the best-known BMC artists. I look forward to learning more about its use by Jonathan Williams in a writing workshop conducted by Jeff Davis, where he
"will replicate in brief form the procedure Jonathan Williams developed when he wrote the section in in his long poem Mahler for Symphony No. 7 in B Minor. After steeping himself in Mahler's work, he availed himself of an "hallucinatory deck" of cards, and wrote on those cards the 110 words that were the "private and most meaningful words of [his]poetic vocabulary," and then, using different rules for each of the movements, he wrote the amazing poem!
The cards I made have already helped me engender a long list of favorite phrases and it will be fun to distribute them to the wonderful folks that attend these conferences. Long live the spirit of BMC!

Book Arts, Farming Fueled Black Mountain College
The 2013 Black Mountain College conference, held at UNC-Asheville, covered much ground, as always, with reflections and insights regarding the methods, influence and legacy of the experimental college that is both revered and obscured in the history of 20th century education and art. I always come away with one or more real breakthroughs in my thoughts about these topics, and this year the BMC farm program really came to light in the presentation of David Silver. Tom Murphy spoke of the print shop and letterpress operations, and both of these sessions offered rich, practical examinations of the processes and their implications. As always, the foundation of factual knowledge and interpretation laid down by Mary Emma Harris in her 1987 book, The Arts of Black Mountain College, is acknowledged and utilized by all presenters. Ms Harris continues to lead BMC research efforts, and presented this year about BMC approaches to material studies. She showed how the low-budget humble materials used by Anni Albers and others provided a freedom and at the same time an enforced discipline on the students. "You mustn't forbid the possibilities of the materials," and in the notes of Ruth Asawa from Josef Alber's class, "the whole cosmos is entertaining". These topics were applied to Asawa, BMC sculptural artist, by Jason Andrew, who showed how Ruth Asawa's zero-based explorations of the culture of handicraft, and her highly artistic use of negative and positive space, helped lift craft into the perceived realm of art in the mid twentieth century. Christopher Benfey, the featured speaker whose ideas I discussed in the previous post, gave a keynote speech which emphasized a similar theme: "Starting at Zero!" Get your hands involved with available material. Then make an honest response to the materials, including the industrial process involved. The conference highlighted the synergy and profound influence derived from the joining of the design philosophy of Albers and the progressive education ideals of John Rice. Experiential education and the approach of design as a "form of justice between man and material" made BMC the birthing place of many new currents in American art.
The BMC farm was a rich source of experiential education, surely, and its operations offered many practical lessons in form and design. David Silver of the University of San Francisco described how students, with Ted Dreier's supportive oversight, had a huge influence on the development of the farm. From Harris's book: "In the first year [1934] a vegetable garden was started by Norman Weston [BMC student and "treasurer"] and other interested community members. The college leased a 25 acre farm with a vineyard and apple orchard…" John Rice was not enthusiastic but didn't mind as long as faculty obligations were not needed. In 1938 the farm went to the future Lake Eden, was expanded in 1941 and by 1944 "was producing most of the beef, pork, potatoes, eggs, dairy products and some vegetables used by the college" (Harris again). Last year and this, Silver offered rich detail into how the farm emblemized the integrated systems, the balance of discipline and freedom, and the "use what you find" attitude that characterized much of the college's history. His research anecdotes, from local farmers such as Bass Allen, who taught the students how to farm, to the very Albers-like egg lists that recorded every oval, both entertain and enlighten. Mistakes, both horrible and hilarious, were made. But students gained invaluable experiences, including the closest thing BMC offered in the way of physical education. Molly Gregory, who taught woodworking and maintained the mechanical shop, took over the farm in the later years of the college and operated it at a profit. Silver's admiring portrayal of her BMC work showed that, like Asawa, she helped create an atmosphere that bridged the gap between artisan and artist, that found a space for sublime work of the hands.
Of particular interest to me was my own arena of artisanry; the letterpress printing and other book arts that were pursued at BMC. Tom Murphy from Texas A&M Corpus Christi recounted printing efforts that were of practical help to the college but eventually played a role in the establishment of literary forces and the Black Mountain Poets as important threads in the history of BMC. Again with the support of Harris's history, he described how Xanti Schawinsky, a noted graphic designer, helped obtain type and a press for a print shop in Lee Hall on the first Blue Ridge campus. The bulletins printed were "not flashy' and in fact were conventional products that advertised the best face of the college to outsiders. Students like Ed Dorn and John McCandless received hands-on learning and were able to design and effect their own projects. The print shop had a long hiatus before and during the war, but in 1946 was resurrected as part of the wood shop and used in writing projects involving Jimmy Tite, Harry Weitzer, and Ann Mayer. A visit by Anais Nin in 1947 was the catalyst for new literary publications, including Poems by M.C. Richards in 1948. This set the scene for the Olson years, when BMC nurtured energies that traveled to the west coast, Paris, and North Carolina's own Jargon Press, published by Jonathan Williams. (A fun footnote to the latter is that the BMCM+AC has acquired the imprint and publications of the Jargon Society!)
All of these insights need fuel themselves to become realized. The first session of the conference highlighted the newly emerging resources for such work. UNC-A's Ramsey Library is digitizing and organizing web pages for several BMC collections. The Western Regional Archive continues to add collections,including the BMC Project papers, generated and collected by Mary Emma Harris. The state archive has selected BMC documents in their online archive. The Black Mountain Studies Journal offers ongoing scholarship in the field. Rich resources indeed!
Design is not decoration, design means an understandable order. It is understandibility. It is not beauty. If it is understandable, it is beautiful. Josef Albers
Book arts came up in one last surprising setting – Julie Thomson's highly stimulating talk on Ray Johnson's commercial design work. She offered the quote above and astounded the audience with images of standard New Direction titles whose covers were designed by Johnson and one of his mentors, Alan Lustig. She pointed out that Ray J had done prize-winning poster work back in Detroit, was a perfectly competent graphic designer – and helped promote the idea of integrating typography with visual art and design.
Congrats to the BMCM+AC for another great conference!

Dr. Jacobs,We just completed our third IUI. As far as testing shows, our problem is exclusively male factor. They prescribed progesterone suppositories but said they are optional. Is there any real benefit to taking the progesterone if my wife is otherwise healthy and the lining looked good on the pre-IUI scans. We are not fans of taking unnecessary medication given potential side effects, etc. Is progesterone a "more-is-always-better" medication? When we had her progesterone checked 7 days after the prior IUI, they said the level was "beautiful."Thanks in advance for any advice.
Not all programs add progesterone supplementation for IUI cycles. I do. I think of it as cheap insurance. It is the same hormone the ovary makes after ovulation.Good luck.

text: Response to Pinker's "Finding a non-moralistic solution" on bigthink.com The development of a fool-proof method of administering medicine seems to be at odds with the conclusion of Mr Pinker's article in this week's N.Y.T. magazine and paradoxically, I find myself at odd with both. To sum up the arguments set forth in the article "The Moral Instinct", a quote by Anton Chekhov "Man will become better when you show him what he is like", suggests that human beings, learning from their mistakes, will do the right thing once they've understood the process whereby they do wrong. As a variant on the old Socratic " Know Thyself", this would entail human beings taking responsibility for their actions, which the above-mentioned non-moralistic solution – to my mind – goes against. It may be the most "cost-efficient" in terms of probable consequences but it does nothing to cause individuals to be more responsible, which is what the article suggests. On the other hand – and this is where I find myself oddly at odds with both postulates – I don't happen to agree that human beings do learn from their mistakes. To illustrate the point let me compare the "moral" sense to something else that doesn't really exist in the real world, but would seem to be just as necessary for survival: the healthy sense. We all have a variety of factors to consider to keep us on track for a long and healthful life. In fact we have more than enough information now that could result in a large number of people living long past their usual use-by dates. As made evident by the many ways in which we make ourselves unwell, it would appear that no matter how much we learn about our physical selves, we're not very good (responsible?) about putting the information to use, mostly because the decisions we make (where are Mr and Ms Damasio when I need them?) are made on a pre-conscious level. Whatever attributions we make – rationalisations – are justificative, not preventive. To sum this idea up: go ahead and develop as many fool-proof ways of preventing humans from making mistakes that cause pain to others, because their "sense" of responsibility will need a whole lot more developing before they can be trusted to make non-moralistic "moral" choices.

Women always struggle with having their hair on their face. And obviously everyone knows that ponytails are the best way to stay fresh and looking knit in a hot summer day, but they can be really plain and flat.
So, to really change things up and help you with some ideas to update your pony tail game you'll receive some of the most useful tips and tricks to really enhance that pony every day of the week without looking the same over and over again.
That's why a messy hairstyle is something that as well as being on trend, it helps you look cute and simple but not boring.
Now, let's go over some of the basics.
You should take some time into choosing the best hair elastic that suits your hair. For thick hair is always better to go for a material that doesn't stretch that much and doesn't feel too tight.
While with thinner hair is better to get one from a really elastic material that helps you loop it several times around our hair so you hold it safely.
The most common change in a basic pony is probably when you take a piece of hair that is either plain and brushed or braided, and you wrap it around the start of the pony so you can hide the elastic.
Another one that has become really popular is the Ariana Grande half-up half-down look, and is correct to say that a lot of people have made several variations of it.For a more out of the box look, braid your hair when it's already being held by the pony, so you have this flawless braid that comes out of a simple and great looking pony tail.
To keep on with the half-up concept, here's an idea: Braid the top of your head until you reach a point near the crown, then take everything and hold it in a ponytail, and that's it!
You can absolutely add some hair extensions if you wanted to, especially if you want to give more volume to this look. Having really big and thick is never too much for having a pony, so start testing different ways to put it together and just have fun!
You must always remember to pull the pony a little tighter than you usually do, because gravity will make you pony get looser throughout the day. By doing that, you prevent the whole pony from falling apart too quickly.
Take some time to really explore your hair and decide what kind of hair elastic is better for you, and how you can use your hair to change things up a bit!

Nice girl, but the photos are too darn edited.
Let´s call the little piggy " Fritz" or "Henry" haha.
How can any girl be this cute and sexy and pose for such beautiful photos with her legs spread? A gallery like this is what makes me so glad that I have a Met-Art subscription.
You just cannot improve on Jeff Milton. They just don't get any finer. Her face, her breasts, her incredible butt and pussy, WOW! She is the cutest and sexiest EVER!
Did I express myself adequately ?
I'm still in love with a girl named Jeff and I love her! I loved this set and Rylsky is at the top of his game. I would love to she Jeff is a short dress (not tight) with lots of upskirts!
Great idea .
Just once I'd like to know what her real first name is.
Can't be in lust with a Jeff. Unapologetic about that.
None of the girls use real names for their own safety. Jeff is the name that she chose. No one knows why but she could have picked Bob and it wouldn't matter.
You could call her Melvin and she'd still be FINE!
A Jeff by any other name would look as sweet. :)
Jeff, my darling; you are as close as it gets to perfection. I love everything about you. I love your tan lines. 10+++.
Mr. Rylsky, you have once again done a fantastic job. Congratulations.
The photography, namely the color correction and lighting, is shameful.
Disagree 100%.
Ok, since I've posted earlier that Jeff rarely rates low marks for the sets she appears in and you obviously feel differently, with particular respect to the execution of the photography, can you clarify how "... the color correction and lighting, is shameful"? Do you see obvious color casts in the shadowed white areas of the bedspread? Is there an obvious color tint to Jeff's overall skin color (especially noticeable in the pale, untanned areas)? Do the white painted walls exhibit some unnatural or unrealistic color? Do you feel the highlights are blown out? Are the shadows dark and muddy?
Just curious as to what your statement was based upon. Being specific could actually be helpful to Mr. Rylsky in the execution of his forthcoming sets.
What an absolutely sweet, girl-next-door looking girl, but with a bod for sin. This girl named Jeff is so heavenly, I'd do her even if her name was Bruce or Katelyn (or whatever, if you know what I mean.
I think Jeff is one of the best, but this bedroom is killing me. Its one of the ugliest rooms I've ever seen, at the same time the contrast make Jeff almost jump off the page.
Jeff is as stunningly beautiful and sexy as ever. What a face what a body & as always, all beautifully photographed by Mr R
There are a couple of times when we all wish we could say "I wish I'd been there for that." Here are a couple of mine ...
1) A dark bar with Rylsky and a friend sitting and talking and the friend says "I have a friend who knows a girl ..."
2) The first time Jeff walked into Rylsky's studio.
3) Rylsky walking down a street and he sees Jeff for the first time.
Cant believe anyone could rate Jeff less than a 10. Really beautiful body and a cute face aswell.
I agree.
Will never understand how the numbers work out. A mystery.
How could any MA patron rate this less than a 10? Really.
@ Notregde
When you write "this", I assume you mean the gallery Nirasu? The votes for Nirasu are supposed to reflect this gallery only; and to grade Jeff's, and Rylsky's input (maybe even the location).
There are Rylsky "haters" who will downgrade his work no matter that lovely Jeff is the model.
Even on Jeff's model / bio page there are obviously members who do not rate her as a 10. You and I might disagree, but life goes on.
Beyond words Incredible and Awesome. Request more.
Jeff, beautiful as ever, lovely as ever, pretty as ever... She is special.
Only four visits from our lovely little angel Jeff this year... ): I'm hoping 2016 will be a better year for Jeff lovers! (:
(Raises hand)
It's Jeff! What can I say that hasn't been said a thousand times before! I am amazed that her sets no longer carry that coveted red banner but those of us who know and love her will always place her in that best of the best category. Her combination of sweet, spicy and girl next door is pretty hard to beat and her body and facial beauty is second to none! Jeff will always be a the top of my list as I am sure she is on Rylsky's too.
In any such system there are a zillion things that effect the outcome. I know for a fact the ratings we see are looked at as not all that relevant since they only represent a very small % of the total members. When you look at the numbers what your seeing is a couple hundred peoples votes when Met has ten of thousands of silent members who do not participate in the comments or the ratings. The numbers of views , favorites, and downloads are much more revealing and they are numbers we really don't have access to. As for the volatility of the ratings you have only to look at overall percentages to see why they can flux so rapidly. Between #1 and number 185 there is only 1/4 of 1 % At this moment there are 16 model at 9.19% . There are 20 girls at 9.24 The #1 spot so the loss of one tenth of one percent could drop a girl from #1 to #21. If you give a model a nine you are saying that she is in approximately the 200th position! Scary numbers! At this moment in time Jeff is back at #1 but that could change any time.
Agreed. MET surely uses more reliable metrics like downloads and page views to truly determine the success of a particular set or model. The ratings system is fun to have, and a good conversation starter, but I doubt it's worth taking anywhere nearly as seriously as some of our fellow members do.
Its fluctuations are probably by design, for the sake of variety. MET's been around for so long that new models would have a very hard time breaking into the top of the list if every rating from every set were taken into account.
I thought about that yesterday. When I saw that a new set was coming, I took a look at the top models page, At that time, Jeff was #3. Today she's #11. In fact, yesterday Kaleesy was #1, and as of when I type this, she's in the 30s. K has said the "Top Ten" banner is based on who qualifies on the day the set is scheduled. But the ratings change so much from day to day, it's a "luck of the draw" thing.
I wouldn't be overly concerned. The ratings system, I'm sure, is more for show than anything else.
Believe MA system can be a bit like those TV shows where the viewers vote. That is nice, but, producers have the clout to determine the best outcome drawing the most viewers. We just don't understand the constraints they are dealing with.
The ratings system always seems to draw a lot of speculation, but believe me, it is all 'done by computer.' There is NO manipulation of the numbers.
She is quite cuddly.
That like saying "mines are dark" or "water is wet" - but many members completely agree with your observation.
As a matter of fact, I don't ever recall seeing anyone saying "Aw geee ... ANOTHER set of this dumb blonde! She looks so dopey - her boobs are obviously fake and her ass is enormous. I wish she'd find another photographer." I can't honestly recall anyone ever saying anything bad about one of Jeff's sets.
What I keep thinking is ... "How lucky is the guy/gal who is attached to this little wonder?"
One lucky motherfucker. The standard of education on this forum is quite high , obviously my observation about Jeff being "quite cuddly " is facetious . Any " Red Blooded American " would cuddle
her to death . Grizzly Bears come to mind . I wonder if I dress up in a big Teddy Bear suit , she might give a me cuddle.
The other thing that continually runs through my mind is "This is how Jeff looks like all dolled-up at her best. What does she look like first thing in the morning with "bed hair" and no makeup?" THAT's what I'd like to see conveyed in a set.
If we knew that , we would not give a fuck , because we (me ) had just had the best night of my life.
@ Arkie2
Be careful what you wish for.
Well, I could live with that. I'd really like to see what she looks like in "everyday" life, complete with "everyday" clothes. I'm rather sure that, even fully clothed, in the right circumstances, Jeff would still garner high marks.
I've never really expressed it before, but Jeff is one young woman whose beautiful little derriere I would love to take a gentle bite of.
Lovely Jeff!
I really like her hair and tan lines in this gallery.
Speaking of tan lines, do you know if she's ever appeared in a bathing suit - either a conventional two-piece or perhaps a lovely one-piece? Lots of women look good in two-piece suits but somehow, looking good in a one-piece takes a special "something" to pull it off.
Jeff appears totally nude from the beginning in almost all of her sets. She does wear a bikini for the first few shots of "Sommar," though.
Agree with you about one-piece swimsuits. I love how they cling lovingly to the wearer's body.
Sommar is one of the sets I've missed somehow along the way. I'll have to check it out.
With Jeff's beautiful derriere and those oh-so-delightful breasts, I'm sure she'd fill out a one-piece suit quite delectably - with room to spare.
And while I'm rambling on about a "wish list" for Jeff, a black bustier, panties, garter belt and sheer black stockings (with heels of course) is high on that list. Somehow though, with Jeff's rather young and ebullient charms, I'm not so sure that black would be "her color" - sometimes that color works better with women who look a bit older - but what the heck - it's the Holiday Season and sometimes "Santa" brings you just what you wish for. ;-)
You need to check out her "Postolje" set over on RylskyArt. :)
I like her hair in tan lines in ANY gallery, but I take your meaning.
Just as an informal survey ... does anyone NOT like Jeff Milton or can they find fault with any part of her anatomy ... in ANY set ... ever? I don't think I can recall ever seeing any negative comments about Jeff.
There are some sets of her that are better than others, but the lady has never had a dud, to be sure. What's amazing about her is how she's gotten better over time. From day one, photo one of her "presenting" set, I fell in love, but compared to what's come since, I would probably rate that set fairly low if I made a list.
I've watched all her sets (who didnt) and she always was close to perfection to me. :) But it seems there are people who rate her 0...
It's beyond me why anyone would rate her "low" on the ratings scale. Breasts too small? Derriere too big/small? Not enough smiling? Set was uninteresting? Blonde & not dark-haired? No bush (well ... that's one where more than a couple would down-rate her). Too "bubbly" or "artificial"?
I think that anyone who wouldn't like Jeff just has no real appreciation for a beautiful young model who likes to show herself to us (personal opinion here).
Absolutely agree 100 percent.
I especially love, Love, LOVE Jeff's pose in #89, #90 and #94. Sexy, tempting, and so, so inviting. Happily, we see that pose in many of her sets.
Absolutely devastating.
If you're with your lady friend, and you get to witness that view in person, you're having a good day.
If Jeff ever retires from modeling, the world will be a sadder place.
It's not possible for the world to be sadder place, really.
Maybe she can retire from MA to SA.
That may be nice.
Nothing lasts forever in this business, but I hope she's the exception.
She will - and we all know it - an then there will come the wailing and gnashing of teeth and a flurry of people downloading her archived sets that they'd missed.
But on the bright side, maybe by then we'll all have 3-D holographic internet displays in our homes with full sensory access.
116 excellent photos of the amazing Ms Milton. Another wonderful visit with this beautiful little sweetheart. Always a wonderful delight. Jeff is so very cute, as cute as cute as a button, as cute as a kitten, as cute as cute can be. And who could deny Jeff is so very sexy and enticing? Such a perfect little doll.
How about a basket of kittens playing in a pile of buttons, Neil? (;
How about as cute as a basket of kittens undoing Jeff's buttons? :)
How about a basket of kittens gently probing for Jeff's button?
Jeff Milton is Met Art Royalty. She has earned herself a permanent spot on the top shelf of all time greatest MA models. That amazing pretty innocent face with that awesome bubble butt of hers and her showing it off are just some of the reasons why.
I think my favorite three word phrase in the whole wide world is "new Jeff set." Holy moly, I adore this woman.
Just amazing in all the amazing ways she can be amazing.
Jesus, this model is an angel come to earth.
A beautiful face, a fantastic body, she seems so innocent yet arousing.
They say Helen of Troy was a beauty that launched a thousand ships.
But Jeff Milton is the beauty that raised a million erections. (Or substitute a more literary expression, if you please. LOL.)
Seems apt tp me and has the added benefit of being politically correct as well as spot-on.

In the case of natural and ornamental materials, the presence of both surface colouration and surface topography is often such that manual inspection, along with many conventional imaging techniques, fails to isolate physical or structural defects in the presence of complex and random patterns.
In this project the concepts of photometric stereo are adapted and extended for application in manufacturing environments. A case study on the high speed inspection of ceramic tiles is used for the analysis of surfaces at production line rates of up to 30 m/min. This new technique, for the first time, demonstrates a genuine and commercially attractive potential for the practical automated quality control of complex surfaces. A commercial system, based on this research, is currently being developed.
Photometric Stereo (PS) emerged in 1978 and has developed into a robust technique for object shape recovery using a simple methodology. However, it has largely remained dormant in its range of application. The classical application of photometric stereo (CPS) has been based on the interaction of collimated, uniform lighting with stationary continuous Lambertian surfaces. Although the technique is widespread, in the main it has remained essentially a laboratory tool, which is capable of recovering discrete surface orientation information for the regeneration of surface form.
In this project we have adapted the classical static approach into one which is able to handle dynamic scenes. The key to the adaptation of PS for moving scene analysis lies in the multiplexing of directional light, acquisition, and object location. In CPS the object location and the vision system components can be and are fixed. In a dynamic environment only the vision system components can be fixed, if any. Consequentially, the classical approach can no longer be applied due to the breakdown of that particular type of multiplexing which is based primarily on being able to observe the same point at the same location from the same reference position at any time within the process. In a non-static scene the observation of the same point at the same location may not be possible if there is a temporal difference between observations. The separation of image capture by time is now likely to be subject to some degree of miss-registration and this in turn is likely to de-couple the consistency of the brightness-gradient based relationship between the corresponding pixels of the photometrically disparate images. To overcome these issues the system is able to capture multiple images instantaneously, i.e. without a temporal difference.
The results are amazing. It is as if you can separate the surface colour by peeling it off the surface geometry!
A patent application has been made in connection with this work.

Space Birthday Party
If you have decided that you are going to choose a theme party for your child's birthday party, you should choose a theme that suits your child's interest. Don't worry if other children have already had similar parties, it is quite likely that the same themes tend to appear time after time.
One of the most popular theme for children between the age of 6 - 8 is a space birthday party and it is easy to prepare. Here are some ideas that might be of help.
Space Birthday Party Invitation
You can make your own invitations in the shape of a star, planets or rockets. Decorate planet shapes with glitter and gold or silver paint. The ribbons or strips of red cellophane from the base of the rocket for the flames.
You can also make invitations using Microsoft Word, insert some free space theme clip arts ( see example on the right) and print it on a colored paper of your choice.
You can also decorate, draw or put glitters or space scene stickers on the envelope, or you can ask the birthday child to write his/her friends name on the invitation.
Making a space theme party decoration is easy, you can try some of the ideas listed below.
- Lay the party tables with a black or dark –blue cloth, then straw with silver stars moons and planet shapes to create a celestial look.
- Plain cups and plates can be decorated with start and planet stickers.
- Get lots of dark or silvery balloons, it will add an awesome effect.
- Use large sheets of black paper or material to cover the walls, decorate it by cutting some stars using construction papers.
- If you are having a night time party, the glow in the dark are ideal, the kids love them , you can buy inexpensive ones in the party shops.
- If you have more time you can make mobiles of different planets using Styrofoam balls and complete the solar system and hang it on the ceiling.
You can make some real space food, it is a good idea to put a sign on each dish and explain what it is. Here are some ideas to start with.
- Star or Moon biscuits – this is when biscuits cutters shaped like stars and moons will come in handy.
- Meatball or cheese balls can be labeled - Moonballs.
- Birthday cake recreating the landing on the moon with a toy rocket on top, an American flag, or simply dust one or more star shapes over deep – blue icing.
- Flying Saucer Pizza
- Little Milky Way and Mars Bars for treats.
Games and Activities
- Films such as "Lost in Space" or "Star Wars" would help set the scene
- Guessing Game - Activities could include guessing how many planets (marbles or jelly beans) there are in a jar.
- Meteor Hunt - Cover tennis ball with foil and hide the balls around the garden before the party, then get the kids to find as many as possible – the one with the most wins.
- Star Gazing - This might be over the top but if you are having a night party you could rent a telescope, and each kid can have a turned looking at the sky at night time, I am sure this will be a hit for the kids, and a real astronomical experience.
- Play Space G : e.g. Planet Dash
How to Play Planet dash
Prepare large sturdy cardboard cut-outs of all the planets
Write the names of the planets and scatter them around the garden.
Have the kids gather at a starting point, after which an adult reads out the name of a planet. All the kids run to the planet then the next planet is called out and so on. . .
This could be done as an elimination game with the fastest child winning.
Take Home Bags
- An ideal treat bag could include: glow in the dark stickers or the glow in the dark necklace; toy aliens, silver hair gel, glitter pens, space scene stickers.
- Space Theme Coloring Book - you can purchase them or you can download 4 - 5 space theme coloring pages from the internet and make it as an A4 coloring book and kids can color it at home or while waiting for their parents to pick them up.
Not interested in Space Birthday Party. . . how about?
- Alphabet Birthday Party
Some ideas on how to host an Alphabet Party, suited for children aged 6 -8. Invitations, decorations food, games and activities and take home bags.
Sounds like fun! I usually am in charge of games for parties. I can use some of the ideas here. Thanks for sharing!
Great Party Ideas!!!
Were the children a bit older, and maybe even for these, an adult who has an interest in astronomy would be nice. If he had a telescope, he could really show them something on a clear night. You might be able to see the ISS from some locations and the Southern sky, from what I've heard, is spectacular. One of those gadgets which projects a star field in a room is also neat. I liked your HUB.
These are great ideas. Planning a girls party is not a challenge for me since I have been doing so for 17 years, and have four girls. Now, I have to switch gears with a little boy. (Of course your ideas would work for both)Thanks for the great hub.

Glossop 17
Ashton 27
THE only Ashton action on Saturday was the second team's outing at Glossop as the first team's match with Broughton Park was cancelled.
Glossop took an early lead with a converted try, but following that, the game was a stalemate with neither team threatening much until Ashton woke things up with their first score.
Chris Gill's astute kick saw Paul Emery run deep into opposition territory before handing on to Jon Kerr who passed to Gary Bromley.
He was stopped short but, from the penalty, the ball was spread out to Andy Platt who sent Matt Davies over.
Platt's penalty gave Ashton a one-point lead but, with half-time approaching, Paul Round forced his way over for a 12-8 interval advantage.
The second half began with Round again showing his ability, wrong-footing Ashton's defence before slipping the ball to a team-mate for another try.
Ashton replied well though as Ben Riley went over, the try converted by Andy Gibson.
With the bit between their teeth, the visitors added another try when Lee Causer scored from Gill's pass.
Emery then had the last word as he broke three tackles to score by the posts, Gibson easily converting.
- ASHTON have linked up with Tameside Sports Development Unit to arrange six taster sessions for newcomers to 'try' the sport out.
They are hoping to attract people over 16 to the classes at the St Alban's Avenue ground, beginning on Wednesday, March 31 at 7pm.
The sessions are free, but further information is available from the club on 0161 330 1361, or from their website at www.aulrfc.supanet.com

Vector Calculator
by Joseph Frye
Submitted : Spring 2012
The C programming language offers a library of math functions located in the math.h header. However vector calculations are not contained within this library. During this project I hope to create my own library of vector functions which I will call the vector.h header. I will include functions to form vectors from points, multiply vectors by scalars, calculate the norm of vectors, unit vectors, dot product, angle between vectors, cross product, angle of the orthogonal vector, scalar and vector production of V1 on V2, and to find the triple cross product(parallelepiped volume). As the equations get more complicated they will start to call from functions that have already been declared. I created the functions so that I will be able to use the functions in different programs as long as I include calculate.h .
After creating all these functions I will make a program that will be able to ask the user to pick between all these functions. It will then ask the user to input the proper points and/or vectors and call from the library of functions to perform the requested calculations. After performing the calculations the calculator will return the answer accurate to two decimals.

A concept is an idea or thought, so the term conceptual art means actually 'idea art' – or artwork about concepts. Though the Catholic Church remained a significant patron of the arts throughout the Renaissance-from popes and other prelates to convents, monasteries and different spiritual organizations-works of art were more and more commissioned by civil government, courts and rich people.
In Venice, artists such as Giorgione (1477/78-1510) and Titian (1488/ninety-1576) further developed a technique of painting in oil directly on canvas; this system of oil portray allowed the artist to remodel an image-as fresco painting (on plaster) didn't-and it would dominate Western artwork to the current day.
The influence of conceptual artwork additionally stretches method past the early 1970s with modern artists similar to Martin Creed , who is sometimes called a conceptual artist, championing the importance of the idea and technique of art making over the art object.
Yinka Shonibare's European ballroom dancers in luxurious African-print fabric gowns dramatize the absurdities of political violence as history repeats itself, whereas Sammy Baloji envisions choreographies of memory and forgetting in the haunted ruins of postcolonial deindustrialization.
Renaissance artwork continued to be celebrated, nonetheless: The 16th-century Florentine artist and artwork historian Giorgio Vasari, creator of the well-known work Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors and Architects" (1550), would write of the High Renaissance because the end result of all Italian art, a course of that began with Giotto in the late 13th century.


text: ?4thewin 1,751 Report post Posted January 11 Learn even a little bit about Luka Doncic, and it's easy to believe. He has the size of a wing, rebounds like a forward, but handles and passes like a point guard. He is described as competitive, poised, and obsessed with basketball. He has dominated his peers at every age. He's now playing as a professional against grown men and seasoned veterans — and he's still dominating. Doncic is competing in the second best basketball league in the world, and through 31 games has more than held his own. He has been both one of the highest usage players in Euroleague play, and at the same time one of the most efficient. Pick-and-rolls captained by Doncic have had the highest points per possession, by far, compared to all others in Euroleague play, and same for ACB (Spanish) league play. (According to Synergy Sports, minimum 100 pick-and-roll possessions.) And, oh yeah: there's still a month and a half until he turns 19. https://cleaningtheglass.com/midseason-draft-review-luka-doncic/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Collagen, one of the most abundant proteins of the extracellular matrix, provides structural integrity in the human body and is responsible for multiple interactions with cells and other matrix molecules. Many common diseases, such as arthritis, diabetes, and cancer involve abnormal regulation or reactivity of collagen and certain collagen genetic diseases result in connective tissue disease or aortic aneurism. The objective of this proposal is to develop a mechanistic understanding of the interactions of the collagen ligand with its receptors and to understand the molecular basis of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), a genetic disease that results in brittle bones. We propose to use an integrated approach based on NMR in conjunction with computational, biophysical methods, and in vitro functional assays to provide unique structural and dynamic insight these questions.
The specific aims of the proposal include 1) characterizing the structure and dynamics of the interactions between the integrin I domain and collagen;2) defining the sequence dependence and molecular mechanism of Gly mutations leading to collagen diseases: prediction of OI phenotype and 3) characterizing interactions of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and integrin I-domain receptors with triple helical motifs that contain imperfect (GXY)n sequences at, or near, the binding regions. In order to achieve these aims we will develop some novel methodology designed to 1) achieve better structural and dynamic characterization of the collagen model peptides;these are long anisotropic molecules that are difficult to characterize by standard protocols and integration of NMR and MD simulations will provide a new approach for investigation of these unusual systems. 2) Using statistical approaches, develop consensus sequence patterns that define lethal and nonlethal phenotypes in OI;these will be used to begin to establish predictions of phenotype based on sequence and conformational fluctuations. The biomedical importance of collagen has led to increasing interest in the structural and biological role of this protein makin the collagen triple helix an extremely important target for probing sequence-structure-function relationships and for understanding the molecular basis of collagen/receptor biological interactions. Characterizing the collagen triple helix conformation and dynamics alone, and in combination with its binding partners, will help understand its role in disease and ligand recognition, and aid in drug discovery programs.
The tremendous biomedical importance of collagen makes the collagen triple helix an important target for establishing sequence-structure-function relationships to understand its structural and biological role. We will develop an integrated approach based on NMR in conjunction with computational, biophysical methods, and in vitro functional assays to provide insight into the recognition mechanism of the collagen triple helix with integrin and to understand the molecular basis of genetic collagen diseases arising from mutations. These studies will provide new insight into drug therapy approaches that target the unique triple helix motif.

Last week I attended my first Summit on Customer Engagement. This 2-day conference, which is the longest running conference on customer advocacy programs, had sessions on all aspects of customer advocacy, customer engagement, customer marketing, customer success and customer reference management.
"The 2017 Summit was perhaps our finest learning and peer networking experience ever. It included speed networking, eight or nine birds-of-a-feather sessions, keynotes by top thought leaders in customer advocacy and engagement including the most visionary CMO in the world, plus our innovative sponsors, such as RO Innovation."Bill Lee
Surrounded by other customer-crazed marketers, I had a great experience listening to speakers and learning from the experts in this field. I honestly didn't know what to expect from the event, but I arrived with an empty notebook (ready to be filled with ideas) and an open mind. I wasn't disappointed. Here are my top 3 takeaways from the conference:
1. Customer Program Managers Must SHOW Execs the Tremendous Value They Create
Customer advocacy and related engagement programs have information about their firms' leading customers that far exceeds the knowledge of anyone else in the firm. However, oftentimes the C-suite isn't aware of the full potential of this knowledge and what it can do. So customer advocacy professionals have to find ways to SHOW them. That includes presenting them with more relevant KPIs & metrics – including the influence these customers have on revenue. In Bev Barnett's presentation on Executive Buy-In, she walked through tips and ways she's been able to secure executive support of her reference program on a greater scale, as well as helped attendees score their own programs in this regard through a live workshop.

— Ian Levine (@SalesbyIan) March 8, 2017
Awesome segment at #SoCE @BevInTech! Loved the gems you shared from your CMO.
— Tyree Long (@Frente_fin) March 8, 2017
2. Customer Advocacy Is the Gateway to Revenue Growth
Perhaps one of the most popular sessions of the conference was Nick Mehta's (CEO of Gainsight) Keynote on the role customer advocacy plays in customer success. Nick reinforced the voice of the customer is more powerful than ever before and not only should anyone touching the customer be listening; we should be using it to fuel Marketing & Sales. Customer success managers have the goal of creating happy, successful customers. Those happy customers become advocates that can be leveraged to drive referrals, social proof and customer references that in turn drive additional revenue.
Some great takeaways from @nrmehta of @GainsightHQ at #SoCE. Customer Success + Customer Advocacy = profitable growth pic.twitter.com/kZzx7Ceztl
— Alicia (@Taggio) March 7, 2017
3. The Right Technology Stack Is Key for Managing Successful Customer Programs
"I think my key takeaway is that the leading programs for Customer Engagement have found that a robust platform is key to managing their business."Rhett Livengood
Finally, in talking to my peers as well as the other sponsors at the show, it was clear that the right technology is key for enabling customer programs to thrive. Ceridian is a great example of a world-class program that leverages the right technology stack to achieve success. Howard Tarnoff, Senior Vice President at Ceridian, calls it the "4 legged stool": Salesforce.com (CRM), Gainsight (customer success platform), RO Innovation (customer reference management) and Influitive (customer advocacy engagement). This technology mix has brought Ceridian great success and driven millions in revenue for their company.
It's clear that customer engagement plays a large role in the success of peer-to-peer marketing and selling strategies today. For additional tips, download "The CMO's Guide for P2P Selling".
