Community Supported Art
There are still a few shares left for the 2018 season.
Read on to find out how to get yours!
One of the most fun programs The Arts Partnership operates and hosts is our Community Supported Art program. Watch our video and see if you don't agree!
Modeled after the Community Supported Agriculture program, our CSA also operates under the goals of being local, sustainable, community-driven and fun!
50 shares are sold each season. A share includes:
- Three fabulous parties for you and a guest May 9, July 12 and September 12
- An art taste, experience or performance and piece of art to take home at each party
- Wine tasting from Bernie's Wines and Liquors
- The opportunity to meet the artists in a lovely, inviting environment where you have already supported them with your purchase of the CSA, so there's no additional pressure to purchase
- The chance to meet new arts supporters and reconnect with friends
So, who is this program for? It's for arts supporters, people interested in getting to know our arts community better, people who love the idea of an "art sampler surprise", high-end art collectors, people just starting to think about beginning an art collection, people who love amazing food and wine, people who love to directly support artists, people who are committed to local and more. In short, it's for YOU!
One great aspect of CSA is that you can split your share up to three-ways, so that each of you and a guest get to attend one party. You can also split it in half, but don't ask us how you will determine who gets which pieces of art–that's your fight! 🙂

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – Russia, which has veto power in the United Nations Security Council, said on Monday Iran should not face new council sanctions over recent ballistic missile tests as the tests did not violate a U.N. resolution.
The tests last week drew international concern and prompted a meeting on Monday of the 15-nation Security Council. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power called the tests "provocative and destabilising."
When asked if Iran should face new sanctions, Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said: "The clear and short answer is no."
Speaking to reporters ahead of the closed-door meeting, Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon urged council members to take new "punitive measures" against Tehran over the launches, which he said were a direct threat against Israel.
"We cannot and we will not bury our heads in the sand in the hope that the Ayatollahs act responsibly," said Danon, whose country has been a strong critic of the nuclear deal between Iran and major powers last year that relaxed most international sanctions against Tehran in return for curbs on Iran's nuclear programme.
Washington imposed sanctions on 11 companies and individuals for supplying Iran's ballistic missile programme after a series of tests last year, and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the latest tests were a clear violation of U.N. resolution 2231.
Washington has said the tests did not violate the nuclear deal, but a separate part of resolution 2231, which was adopted in July.
Over the weekend France said the European Union could impose its own sanctions on Iran because of the missile tests.
"We are in a case of non-compliance with (resolution) 2231," French U.N. Ambassador Francois Delattre told reporters on the way into the council meeting.
The meeting, convened at the request of Washington, was unlikely to result in any council action. Most international sanctions against Iran were lifted in January, although limited restrictions on Tehran's missile programme and a U.N. arms embargo remain in place.
China, like Russia, has a veto on the council and can block any punitive action against Tehran. Chinese Ambassador Liu Jieyi did not address the issue of sanctions directly.
"It is for the council to decide," he told Reuters. "The most important thing is to carry out the nuclear agreement, that's the most important thing."
British Ambassador Matthew Rycroft made clear London shares the view that Iran's launches of ballistic missiles that appear capable of delivering nuclear warheads were "in blatant disregard of resolution 2231."
Resolution 2231 "calls upon" Iran to refrain from certain ballistic missile activity. Western nations see that as a clear ban, though council diplomats say Russia, China and several other council members agree with Iran's view that this is merely an appeal to Tehran to voluntarily refrain from missile work.
Iran has also said that none of its missiles are designed to carry nuclear weapons.

Mystic Realms
The Mystery of REALMS
When Lilly works with you she basically observes you for a few minutes and will know which Realm you came into this lifetime with.There are many realms but working with the archetypes she has discovered that the four major ones also represent the four survival archetypes and the four strains of DNA. Doreen V writes about these realms in her books and says there are many but Lilly realizes that there are actually only four. What Doreen and others are actually experiencing are the souls archetypes. These Realms are Angels, Elementals (fairies, gnomes, sprites, leprechauns, brownies, elves ), Wise one and Star. When we know ourselves through the realms we can stop judging others. For example, a fairy, better known as the elemental, likes to flirt and if she is in the presence of a Star , who is shy and withdrawn , it is not because the star does not like her, they do not vibrate at the same frequency. Which realm do you originate from?

Fred Phelps Sr. founded the infamous Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. The only mantra of Phelps or the church appears to be "God Hates Fags." This afternoon word came out that Phelps is dying at Midland Care Hospice in Topeka. Our church is unanimously made up of people that Phelps would call fags.
In a very emotional moment for our congregation this evening, we prayed.
"God of all comfort. Join us at this hour. We come to you with broken hearts at the many things that Fred Phelps Sr. has said and done to the detriment of countless people. We come to you in our brokenness with a belief that you heal the broken places with your love. You have called us to love even the vilest of people. So tonight we pray for your child and our brother Fred Phelps Sr.. We ask that you take all the pain out of his body. We ask that you be present with Fred and that he know your love. We pray that even at this moment may Fred also know our love for him and all the others who have abused and treated us like shit. We love our brother Fred and we pray for his wellness in this life and in the next. Amen."
When we completed our time of prayer, there were a few tears in the room. It was as if God had reconciled many of us to someone we thought we never would be reconciled to. There was also a sense that Phelps represents so many of those who have spiritually abused us in the past. I don't know if Fred Phelps Sr. will die tonight…but I do know that whenever he does he will be taking the love of our people with him.

Chicken Biriyani Beggars Pouches
3 recipe photos
READY IN:1hr 20mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb skinless chicken piece, cut up,washed (I used boneless thighs)
- 1⁄2 medium onion, sliced
- 24 cashew nuts
- 4 tablespoons raisins
- 3⁄4 cup ghee or 3⁄4 cup cooking oil
- 1 medium onion
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garam masala
- 6 cardamom
- 2 whole green chilies, seeded and chopped
- 1⁄2 cup yogurt
- 2 sprigs cilantro, chopped
- salt
- 16 sheets phyllo dough
- 1⁄2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup creme fraiche
- fresh cilantro, chopped to sprinkle on for garnish
- Mix the cayenne powder, coriander powder and tumeric powder, set aside
- In a clean food processor grind the medium onion, garlic and ginger to a paste
- Dry the chicken well and chop finely, but do not grind ( a couple of pulses in the food processor will do fine
- Heat the oil or ghee in a pan and fry the onion slices to golden and set aside
- Do the same to the cashew nuts and raisins and set aside
- Add the ground paste and dry spice mix to the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then add the chopped chicken
- Cook the chicken in the spice paste for a few minutes, turning it over a few times with a spoon, until it is no longer pink
- Add the green chilies, garam masala, whole cardamom, yoghurt, coriander leaves and salt to taste
- Let the chicken simmer in the sauce until the chicken is cooked and the sauce thickens
- Remove from heat and let cool
- Cut the phyllo sheets in half, so you have 32 squares
- cover the phyllo with plastic wrap and a damp towel while working so it does not dry out
- Place one sheet of phyllo on your work surface
- Brush with a little melted butter, especially the edges
- Place a second sheet on top in the opposite direction to make a cross, brushing this sheet with melted butter as well
- Place two more sheets in the same manner (criss crossing and brushing with butter) on top of the previous sheets of phyllo (you will have 4 layers, criss crossing each other
- Divide chicken mixture into 8 and place 1/8th of mixture into center of one of the layers of phyllo
- Sprinkle 1/8th of the cashews and raisins on top
- Loosen the sheets of phyllo with a flat metal spatula or knife and using your fingers, carefully lift and gather the phyllo (as if making a pouch) encasing the chicken in a bundle with a loose flowing frilly top
- Pinch the gather together and hold for 5 seconds
- This will hold the package closed
- Place each purse on a lightly greased baking sheet and repeat with remaining chicken and phyllo
- Refrigerate until ready to bake (this can be made in advance up to this point)
- When placing the chicken on the sheet pans, leave enough space between the bundles to that they will become crispy on the sides when baked
- Preheat oven to 375*F
- Place the pans with the beggars purses on them into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, until nicely crispy (do not overcook)
- To serve place one beggars purse on a warm plate, with a dollop of creme fraiche on the side, sprinkling the chopped coriander on for a garnish
- If you wanted, two of these purses could be served as a main course along with a spicy basamati pilaf

Yolk-shell nanoparticles: New avenues for developing nanoreactors and delivery vehicles
J. Liu, S.Z. Qiao, S. Budi Hartono, G.Q. Lu
Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, AU
Keywords: yolk shell, mesoporous materials, delivery vehicle, nanoreactor
Abstract:Yolk–shell structures are a special type of core–shell structure with interstitial hollow spaces between the core and shell sections. Their unique architecture suggests exciting potential for applications such as drug delivery and as nanoreactors. However, synthetic routes towards these materials are not straightforward and lack controllability. Herein, we report a surfactant-based strategy to synthesize highly uniform and monodisperse yolk–shell nanoparticles with porous shells.It is important to note that the yolk-shell nanoparticles prepared by this method possess highly uniform particle size and porous silica shells, and the pore size and the shell thickness can be tuned in a certain range. The method can encapsulate cores of different size (less than 700 nm), shape and composition, including SiO2 spheres, Au particles or magnetic Fe3O4 particles, within the shells. It is also possible to create a hierarchical structure composed of a mesoporous SiO2 nanoparticle within the mesoporous shell. These nanostructures show a three-step release pattern for the model drug, ibuprofen. The yolk-shell materials such as those developed in this work could lead to new avenues for developing nanoreactors, drug/gene/DNA/siRNA delivery vehicles, as well as photonic crystals.

Breast Augmentation Revision Before and After Patient 1
This female patient came into our offices seeking a breast augmentation revision one year after she had undergone a breast augmentation procedure elsewhere. During her breast augmentation procedure, 375CC moderate profile saline implants were used. As you can see from the "Before" pictures, her breast implants had bottomed out, creating an unfortunate, un-aesthetically pleasing contour to her breast profile.
She desired a repositioning of the implants, with increased fullness to her upper breast area, or as it is also known, the upper pole area. Her breast augmentation also resulted in repositioned, upwardly-pointing nipples that she also wanted to correct.
During the breast augmentation revision procedure, her saline implants were re-positioned and filled to 500 CC through an inframammary incision in order to give her upper breast area the fullness that she desired. The pocket in which the implant was held was then internally tightened to correct the bottoming out of the implant.
After fully recovering from her breast augmentation revision, the patient reported that she experienced not only the fullness to her upper breast area that she desired, but that she also experienced a corrected centering of the nipple, with the added correction to the upward-facing aspect of her nipples. This is due to the proper repositioning of the implant as well as the internal tightening of the implant pocket.
Before her breast augmentation revision, her breast were C-cups, and afterwards, due to her desired increase to the upper breast region and subsequent increase in size from 375CC to 500CC, the patient's breast are now D-cups.
She has reported that she is extremely happy with her breast augmentation revision and is very satisfied with all the corrections as evident in the "After" pictures.

At base level, TV and movies can simply be chewing gum for the eyes or easy entertainment. However, at their absolute best they can literally change our lives – sending us some kind of personal message or offering answers, hope and inspiration for how to move forward through our lives. When we have watched a well-made movie or TV program which illustrates courage, defiance and triumph or just paints a picture of an ordinary life handled in some extraordinary way, it can move us to re-evaluate our own life and implement changes. Sometimes these great movies and TV shows can simply make us grateful for our life, count our blessings and help flip negativity to positivity.
These are four of that type of TV show and film which have rocked my world and inspired me.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer – 1997 to 2003
I didn't watch this show from the beginning but was eventually dragged almost kicking and screaming and very skeptical by an already converted Buffy enthusiast. I didn't want to watch a small blond girl kicking ten bells out of vampires but strangely enough this is the least of what this wonderful TV series is about. The supernatural and vampire slaying is just the platform used to tell tales of very human struggles, conflicts and issues.
There is humor, drama, tragedy, failure, heroism, courage, cowardice, self-sacrifice and self-preservation – in fact every human emotion is drawn to the fore – we laugh, we cry, we rage and we hurt.
Through 7 seasons we watch the characters grow and mature at a realistic rate until we come to feel we know them as friends. We watch them fail, make mistakes and stray so far off the right path we wonder if they will ever be found again. We watch them rise above their struggles and we watch them triumph. Some of the most important issues of society as a whole are addressed here (including all the shades of grey which that might involve) along with very personal stories and struggles which all of us will be familiar with. Not once but a thousand times did 'Buffy' make me rethink my life, my perspectives, my goals and my values. Ultimately, 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' inspired me and continues to inspire me more than any other film or TV show I have ever seen.
On a Clear Day – 2005
This gritty UK-made film has us watching 55 year old Frank fail at every turn with his family, his work and his life in general. Even his failings are not spectacular but mundane everyday small tragedies which are happening around all of us, all the time. Frank is ordinary which is why, when he suddenly takes it into his head to attempt a cross-channel swim without any swimming talent or even a starting fitness point, his family and friends laugh at him. Much to our shame we laugh along.
Frank and his family's story carry us along on a truly inspiring journey – right up until the end.
There is nothing cheesy or schmaltzy here and Hollywood happy endings play no part but it is nonetheless heart-warming and thought-provoking through its realistic platform of rawness – a signature mark of British-made films. Frank's ordinariness and ultimately his ordinary heroism will give each of us something to connect and relate to.
It's a Wonderful Life -1946
With all the films which have come after it, 'It's a Wonderful Life' hardly seems to be original in either it's theme or conclusion but if you can watch this and not be touched then your heart must be made of stone.
George Bailey is on the verge of committing suicide on Christmas Eve having gradually watched one dream after another slip from his hands. His guardian angel intercedes and shows him, through a series of flashbacks, all the lives he has changed and touched and how ultimately he has played a hugely significant part in creating the community which thrives around him.
The film makes us ponder on how the tiniest of our acts can lead to the most momentous things – each starting and going away from us like a ripple in a pond. This in turn urges us to evaluate our own attitudes and perspectives. We all get so tied up in the small stuff that sometimes we fail to see the bigger and rather more revealing, beautiful picture.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind – 2004
Initially you will wonder what on earth is going on in this film. From that intriguing start it goes on to explore the emotions of pain, broken hearts and grief and poses a question which each and every person who has seen this film must have pondered on. Would you, if you could, dispose of all your pain and misery, even if that meant wiping your memory of all that caused it?
As the film develops we are urged to really look at what pain is – not just as a challenging emotion but as the other side of the coin to beautiful and wonderful things. Pain is not possible unless we have cared deeply first and quite possibly had all the love and happiness that brought with it.
Incredibly thought provoking, this film also teaches us about accepting life with all its ups and downs, all the good and bad and what part emotion plays in our lives.

In the past 20 years, the worldwide education has changed quite a bit. This change was duo to the fact that kids lost interest in watching cartoon and all those interesting documentaries and instead, started playing video games. But, what is the real effect of video games and are they getting more and more educational, or are they simply a waste of time as our parents suggest? Without further wait, let us go straight into the effects of video games and their impact on the today's educational system for kids.
New way of education
Our ancestors would not understand the way education is passed on to the next generations. Moreover, most of our grandparents are surprised by how much time we spend in front of our TVs absorbing all the information. The top of the iceberg is definitely the fact that more and more children under the age of 7 have iPads and Tablets of different kinds, and spend a lot of time using them. During breakfast, lunch, or any other activity, kids use their tablets to watch videos on YouTube, play games whether they are of the educational type or just regular games, and do certain things to keep them occupied. However, most of the games designed for kids are educational and include at least one field of education. Some cover math, other geography and science, but those video games like Poptropica cover many things in one. Your child will have to use all of his brain skills to solve puzzles, problems and conquer all the quests which game has to offer. This is the new way of education, which so far proves to be working.
Improved Working memory
Did you know that by playing video games, your kids improve their working memory which is very important at later stage of life when job and demanding projects become their everyday routine? Video games require them to use more than just one part of their brain, and since they are repeating the process over and over again, your kids tend to improve their brain coordination overtime and to improve their thinking capacity. Moreover, their working memory is boosted to the point where they easily recognize patterns and shapes and their imagination is inspired and boosted immensely, leaving them with creative ideas and "outside the box" way of thinking. This becomes a very unique and valuable trait when it comes to solving problems.
Modern education
Believe it or not, but even schools and colleges started using technology to moderate their way of teaching. Some tend to play slide shows to present their material to the students, other use personalized applications and social media to connect and communicate with their students. Education is evolving, but with every evolution comes a downside; less and less books will be read, less and less relevant information will be transferred and before we can realize, the world's educational system might be completely changed. And perhaps one day in not so distant future, robots might be your professors?
Learning through visualization
One of the best things which video games have to offer is learning through visualization. By facing different problems and tasks, a player learns how to solve every bit of problem and transfers the same skills into real life. Also, at some point, you have to gain leadership, item management and trading skills, along with many other skills which will help you develop into a business person.
Gaming is not studying
People tend to abuse the video games and since it is so easy to get addicted to them, avoid the educational part and just continue playing video games for the sake of having fun. This is where most problems start, and labeling gaming at this point as "educational" would be faulty. So it is very important to control the amount of time your kids spend on their computer and iPads to prevent them from developing chronic addiction. The only time to do it is while they are kids, for once they get stuck in the infinite loop of gaming, all that education inserted into video games will become pointless.
Gaming does improve certain fields of your brain and thinking, but it has a lot side effect, like aggression, becoming anti-social, uncontrolled behavior and many other similar effects. But, looking at the world right now, with e-sports on the rise every day, more and more kids and children turn towards gaming and want to pursue a professional career at it. Yes, gaming is educational but only if controlled.

In this article we will discuss:
It's not a crime to have weed in Connecticut, but growing it is a little different. It is not a surprise that many marijuana users wonder how to grow marijuana in Connecticut. The simple answer is to grow small amounts and not get caught. In Connecticut, growing just a small amount can be a serious problem, so being careful is extremely important.
Medical marijuana
Connecticut has an active medical marijuana program that covers many conditions. The conditions include:
- Cachexia
- Cancer
- Crohn's disease
- Epilepsy
- Glaucoma
- HIV or AIDS
- Intractable spasticity
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Parkinson's Disease
- Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Patients with doctor's recommendation can purchase marijuana products from licensed dispensaries. They are allowed to have one month's supply at a time.
The problem with the Connecticut medical marijuana program is that patients are not allowed to grow marijuana in Connecticut. Instead, they have to purchase pre-packaged marijuana and marijuana products at an expensive price. Patients who cannot get to a dispensary, or who cannot afford to purchase from them are forced to suffer. Get your medical marijuana card at marijuanadoctors.com. It's very easy to get and not expensive.
All other marijuana
Connecticut has decriminalized small amounts of marijuana for adults. This means there is no jail time for possessing up to a half ounce of marijuana. Instead, there is a fine of up to $500. However, if you have more than a half ounce you could go to jail even though it is technically not a crime. Connecticut also has a tax stamp program on large amounts of marijuana as well as mandatory minimums for large growers and dealers. More about decriminalization at this link.
Grow marijuana in Connecticut
Connecticut is not friendly to marijuana growers. Based on their laws, all growers, medical or not, are seen as marijuana sellers. They don't even consider small growers in their laws – they start at any grow yielding less than a kilogram of marijuana. That is not an amount any home grower would be capable of. Because of this, it is very important to grow as little as possible at a time to reduce the risk of looking like a dealer. When you grow marijuana in Connecticut, you need to look like it is for your personal use if it is actually for your personal use. Even better, you need to not get caught.
For tips on how to not get caught growing marijuana, download and read my free Marijuana Grow Bible. It is full of information on how to grow marijuana in Connecticut that is discrete, strong and beautiful. Most importantly, it explains how to do so without getting caught. Even though Connecticut is decriminalized, its marijuana growing laws are far from kind.
The state of hemp
While Connecticut has made it very clear that it does not want its citizens growing marijuana, it is actively pursuing a hemp industry. Hemp, if you didn't already know, is a close relative to marijuana, except it is missing (or really low in) THC. Hemp is used in textiles while marijuana is strategically prohibited. Obviously, they realize the benefits of cannabis.

The Department of Labor has announced a proposed increase to the salary threshold for employees to be
exempt from overtime laws. The proposed salary threshold will increase from $23,660 per year/$455 per week to $47,476 per year/$913 per week (with some exceptions). This proposed change is anticipated to be effective as of December 1, 2016. In preparation for this change, Human Resources, with input from VPs/Deans/Departments, will re-evaluate positions not meeting the new salary threshold to determine future overtime eligibility.
Human Resources will be presenting basic information regarding how the changes may impact employees at UND; what the new salary threshold means, why a position might change from exempt status to non-exempt status and what that entails. If you, or someone you supervise, could be impacted by the federal law change, or if you would just like to learn more about the changes, please come and join us.
Two information sessions regarding the changes in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) will be held be held on the following dates:
Date Time Location
July 12, 2016 9am – 10 am Gamble Hall Room 3

EDGEWATER, N.J. — SoJo Spa in Edgewater offers seven stories of saunas, baths and therapy rooms, but the hidden gem could very well be at the very top.
The rooftop infinity pool -- touting a spectacular view of the New York City skyline.
And Instagram users are taking note. You don't need an expensive camera or high-tech phone to capture the beauty in the view and serenity of the moment.
Just scroll through the Edgewater or SoJo geotag on Instagram to see for yourself. After all, that's where many of the customers heard about the spa in the first place.
Like Bella Guerriero (pictured above).
"I heard about it through social media and I was like, 'I need to go see this place,'" she told Daily Voice. "It exceeded my expectations."
The same goes for Long Island's Tessa Gluck, 24.
"I loved all the pools," she said. "There was nothing I didn't like."
Located on part of the old Alcoa factory site, the spa attracts customers from across the Hudson River looking for a day-cation.
"SoJo Spa Club is a unique spa resort that redefines relaxation," its Facebook page says.
Let's break it down by the numbers:
7 pools including a water slide, 5 saunas, 4 therapy rooms, 3 lounge areas and 3 dining areas.
A day at the spa will cost you between $50 and $70 just for admission. Massages and other services come with additional charges.

By Steve Galster.
As I watched that naughty, furry, fanged baboon leap into the back seat of our car –pushing aside and scaring the hell out my friend, Tony–, I thought to myself: there's no big city in the world quite like Nairobi, Kenya.
Most developing world capitals are fast becoming concrete urban jungles, but Nairobi still has real jungle. Much of the city is gushing with green natural beauty, hosting a balance of 3.5 million people and an astounding array of wild animals and plants. Traffic is terrible because the roads are narrow. And when trucks are not over-turning they are bellowing clouds of diesel exhaust. But the city's voluptuous flora really complements the polite, easy-going people –many of whom are walking home along the roads–, to soothe one's soul from a bad day at the office. Green Nairobi feels grounding. My high school biology teacher, Tom, once told me "people are instinctively drawn to green because it subconsciously registers as water, which we are hard wired to seek." The large trees and plants here attract critters too. Eagles and storks hover above lush, personal gardens. The occasional wild pig can be spotted romping near pedestrians. But it gets better. You can be meeting lawyers in a busy downtown office complex in the morning, then drive six miles out and be looking at rhinos, zebras and giraffes in the afternoon, not in a zoo, but in their own natural environment.
Living so close to nature reminds one that we are all animals with similar basic needs for food, love and security. Basic security means shelter, as well as protection against those wanting to steal your food, love or shelter. So it was ironic –and hilarious– that the baboon knocked aside ex-Special Forces army officer Tony, and successfully snatched our food. Then there the big guy sat, peeling off the plastic cover and eating an entire cake in front of us all, refusing to share even a crumb with the other baboons that arrived to offer perimeter defense against the growing paparazzi. This baboon was a lone operator, and reminded me that animals too are capable of greed and corruption, or he was just having a bad day.
Like the wild dogs and vultures we saw earlier that were hunting in packs, we have come to Africa to form a hunting team. But we are not looking for wild animals. We are tracking down those who are killing them. In the past month alone, 11 tons of tusks, the remains of some 1,000 poached elephants, have been seized by Thai and Singaporean authorities. Rhino horns and big cat teeth were mixed in the same hidden containers. All were coming from Africa, some smuggled out of Congo, the rest out of Mombasa, 440 kilometers southeast of here. No arrests of the masterminds have been made yet. Based on our experience, we worry there never will be unless we stick our noses in. So we have come from Asia, invited by like-minded Africa-based partners, to team up.
Rumors still circulate that drug traffickers and terrorists may be behind the multi-million dollar shipments of death, which were destined for Laos and Vietnam, presumably for onward sale to China, the world's largest market for elephant ivory. Whatever the truth is, green and easy-going Kenya and the surrounding region have dark sides that may offer clues. Some of the tusks seized in Asia already had confiscation markings on them, suggesting they came from government stocks. Was it someone with access, and if so, in which country? Kenya is often a transit country for wildlife traffickers. Or was it worse? Just before the first seizures, 400 kilometers north of Mombasa, ethnic Somali, Al Shabaab gun-men randomly executed 147 students inside Garissa University, representing a shocking calling card for the Kenya government, which has been sending troops into Somalia since 2011 to fend off these terrorists. Elephant Action League investigators reckon that Al Shabaab derives 40% of its salaries from ivory trafficking.
An elephant tusk carved by top-end sculptors can fetch $300,000 in China, while rhino horn is now selling for over $70,000 a kilo as medicine in Vietnam. That's a lot of bullets, or a fleet of nice cars for a crook or corrupt official. In any case, this is no country for old men or traditional conservationists. So we have hired people like Tony, a former Australian SAS army officer, to help us find, train, and support Africa's finest. We have hired former police and wildlife wardens from Kenya and South Africa, as well as former FBI and DEA officers with global experience in fighting organized crime. We have a genius analytical team that scans the horizon for data, then weaves it into intelligence packages to support law enforcement. I call them "Zero-dark-wild". We are forming a pack. And we are connecting.
Connecting is the key. Our team, Freeland, can't fight poachers and traffickers on our own. We're small and we're an NGO. But those can be strengths too. We move quickly and bring good people together and catalyze action. In this case, it's about bringing good, brave and smart people together from Africa and Asia to stop this poaching madness. In the last year alone, over 25,000 elephants were slaughtered for their tusks to feed the ivory trade. Rhinos are hurting too. Last year Africa lost around 1,500 rhinos to poachers and there's only 25,000 left.
There are excellent men and women here in Africa circumventing bureaucracy, corruption and death threats in pursuit of the poachers and kingpins behind this killing. But they need help. They need modern training, money, equipment, and from what I can tell, they need a supportive international spotlight. Not just to help their morale, but also to protect them against crooks and corrupt elements that would otherwise seek revenge. It's easier to rough someone up in the dark than it is when they're in the news. We have trained and supported some incredible officers in Asia for the past 15 years who have overcome similar challenges. We will build a cooperative bridge between these African and Asian officers, allowing them to piece together the criminal puzzle and then dismantle it. We will shine a spotlight on their successes. And before the syndicates develop deeper roots or grow new heads, another part of our team will already be working furiously to get inside the consumer's head to turn that wildlife demand switch off.
While organized crime and corruption are not new to Freeland, Africa represents somewhat new territory. So, unsurprisingly, some members of the wildlife conservation community here are still wary of our arrival, sniffing around us to see if they will fight or join us. They don't want us getting in their way, and they don't want us to steal their food or territory. We do need their help on this hunt.
Last year we financed 20 African and Asian investigation teams to gather and share intelligence on poachers and traffickers. It paid off. Investigators from Africa's "Lusaka Agreement Task Force" and Chinese agents worked hand in hand to sting an ivory trafficking ring made up of African and Chinese criminals in Nairobi. The Chinese even took several of the crooks home and stuck them in jail. Initiated by Freeland, "Operation Cobra" resulted in hundreds of arrests and seizures and has now been adopted by INTERPOL as a permanent project. Some of our African friends remember this success and have invited us to join forces on this mission.
Which is what? Just saving animals?
What instinct motivates people to risk their lives to save elephants, lions, rhinos, tortoises and other creatures? Is it the thrill? Maybe, partly. My favorite anthropologist, Joseph Campbell interpreted the daring action of soldiers who risked their lives on perilous helicopter rescue missions because "by God, it makes you feel alive!" He also explained that a man who pulled a stranger back from falling off a high cliff at the risk of falling himself represented an inner sense of connectedness to one another. If you die, I die.
But animals? Profits from wildlife poaching and trafficking are strengthening crooks and terrorists who in turn threaten people. So protecting animals is also about human security. Moreover, I think we're connected to animals, biologically and spiritually. Anyone who stares into the eyes of their dog or cat knows what I mean. I got the same feeling watching a giraffe in Nairobi National Park. On a bad day, I can even relate to that selfish baboon, or those hard-working dung beetles pushing those giraffe poop boulders up the hill with impressive perseverance. I also have my own crazy theory: Our souls need a host when our bodies die, and some of those hosts are animals. Perhaps we are instinctively wired to prevent extinction so that our own spirits live on.

... come on own up the last 10 days of my life where did they go?? It seems them upstairs are having a big joke with me at the moment and I can quite honestly say hand on heart I don't know where the last 10 days went!!!
I know I had a fab time teaching at Bee Crafty, the Fairy castle class went really well although I don't know if the girls will ever forgive me for all the cutting out LOL but we had a lot of laughs and a yummy buffet lunch, thanks Sam, oh and I now have an addiction to cheese straws LOL Next month is my reverse canvas class won't you join us??

I know hubby came home on Monday for what we thought was 36 hours that ended up being 12! And I made a yummy dinner although the chilled out evening of wine and films went awry with the opening of the chinese laundry and evil paperwork to be done while he was around!
And I know I have been creating like a creating thing, although some of it I can't share at the moment! I also know I am in Yorkshire Dog sitting Stan's sister for mum and dad who are having a weekend in Belgium and Stan is in his element and I do know that hubby is stuck in Egypt! Grounded along with thousands of others ... wonder when I will see him again???

What is your background and how did you get involved in the car wash industry?
I have been around the car wash business my entire life. I will never forget growing up being on vacation with my family, we would always stop by a car wash just to see how they operate and for my dad to see if he can capture any new ideas to bring back to 7 Flags. I could not for the life of me figure out why we always were stopping at these different washes. Now that I am fully immersed in the car wash industry I am doing the same things my dad did. Being a third generation in a family owned business comes with a ton of pressure to keep the business growing and up to the standards set the previous 52 years.
Tell us about your business?
7 Flags Car Wash is a family owned and operated company that has been serving Solano County's car washing and car care needs since 1964. 7 Flags offers full service car washes, exterior washes and auto detailing in our Vallejo, Fairfield, and Vacaville locations, along with express car washes in Vacaville and at our Sunrise Car Wash in Citrus Heights. From a fast and convenient exterior wash to a full service car wash that includes vacuuming, windows cleaned, dusting of dash, and from car detailing to express lube and oil service, 7 Flags covers virtually all of your auto's cleaning and preventive maintenance needs.
What is one of the biggest challenges you see facing the industry? What are the biggest opportunities?
There are many challenges facing the car wash industry in the coming years, the main challenge that is staring all California operators in the face right now is the drastic rise of minimum wage. It is going to be a great challenge to keep our labor goals in line, while still giving the customer the quality fast service they have come to expect. Some other challenges include water conservation, this came to the forefront during the drought, but we can always get better. One big challenge that we are already starting to deal with are the self-braking vehicles going through car washes, as technology continues to improve hopefully all manufactures will have a setting in the vehicle that makes them compatible for going through car washes. Some of the opportunities include the fact that there are so many more people driving which as we all know is creating more traffic, but as a car washer it also means that there are many more customers available for us to wash. Another opportunity that has surfaced recently is the cities cracking down on their residents washing their vehicles in their driveways due to the waste of water and the negative impact on the environment. We have seen a great impact of new customers that have never tried a tunnel car wash before since the drought started.
Why did you decide to join the WCA Board of Directors?
The main reason I decided to join the WCA Board of Directors was to follow in the footsteps of my father. He has gotten a great deal of information from all of the different car wash boards he has served on over his 50 years in the business. I am very eager to learn from all of the great minds that are serving with myself on the Board, and hopefully provide some insight to help others.
What is WCA doing that you are most excited about?
The most exciting aspect of the WCA for myself is they are evolving with the times and trying multiple new things to continue to help car wash operators on the West Coast.
How long have you been a member of WCA? What value has WCA provided to you and your business?
7 Flags has been a proud member of the WCA since its inception, and it has provided a myriad of different values to us over the years. The most important value that we have gained of the top of my head is the workers compensation insurance that we have gotten from the WCA through the Western Carwash Insurance Program.

Frantic as a cardiograph scratching out the lines, Day 124: Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #93
Every day this year, I will be examining the first pages of random comics. Today's page is from Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #93, which was published by DC and is cover dated July 1969. Enjoy!
This issue of SGF,LL was reprinted in the second volume of Diana Prince: Wonder Woman, the trades collecting those halycon days when Denny O'Neil took Wonder Woman's powers away. Those are some crazy, crazy comics, and in the middle of it, who else but Bob Kanigher would write a story where Diana starts dating Superman, Lois gets jealous, trains in martial arts to fight Diana for him, and then … gets totally bitch-slapped for her efforts while Superman looks on, laughing. Our Dread Lord and Master could do an entire year of "I Love Ya But You're Strange" on Bob Kanigher comics, I'd reckon.
But it's this first page we're concerned about, with the traditional splash page giving us a hint of what's to come before we loop back and find out how Lois got in this pickle. Kanigher gives us some basic information – if Wonder Woman is flying, she must have her powers back. This alludes to the fact that in her own title, she doesn't have powers. Kanigher also helpfully provides a clue as to what's going on in this comic on this page, too, which is nice of him. Lois narrates that Wonder Woman has Superman fooled with her "flight stunts" and that she helped Wonder Woman steal Superman away. Ooh, it's so dramatic! Kanigher sums up the new situation for Diana in the bottom left – she lost her powers, Steve Trevor was killed – so that we're not completely lost.
Irv Novick drew this (the credits in the front of the book don't list an inker – presumably it was Novick himself – or a colorist or a letterer), and he does a nice job. Superman and Wonder Woman are clearly flying parallel, but because of perspective, they appear on a slight angle to each other. The regular clothing on Diana adds to the oddity of her flying, and Novick draws our eye from the two flying heroes to Lois, dominating the scene in the bottom right, where our eyes would naturally go. Lois cries far too much in this issue (and, from what I've seen, in every other comic she ever appeared in back then), but at least it's not too obnoxious. What makes this era of Wonder Woman so weird is that O'Neil/Mike Sekowsky on the main title and Kanigher/Novick in this issue really tried to make it "mod," so while the women in this book aren't quite as cutting-edge as perhaps the creators wanted, they aren't trapped in the 1950s. Diana has a nice, mod style, and even Lois has a nice hair style that looks more appropriate for a working woman in 1969 than we might expect.
This is an insane comic, even weirder than the main book was at this time (which is saying something). But Kanigher and Novick make sure that the first page sets up the entire story nicely, which is awfully swell of them. I'm sure Greg Hatcher digs this comic beyond all reason, and that should be good enough for you!
Next: KALUTA!!!! No, he hasn't appeared yet in the archives. That's the way it is sometimes!

Report: ISIS kids told to play 'soccer' with human heads
'Long-term strategy' depends on desensitizing children to violence
A London-based think tank's new report details the depths of depravity Islamic terrorists will sink to brainwash children: Decapitated heads are given out to be kicked like soccer balls.
Petition Congress to 'halt Muslim immigration now'
The Quilliam Foundation released "Children of the Islamic State" on Monday, a comprehensive study of strategies and tactics employed to fuel jihad for generations to come. Letting children play with human heads after executions is one of several ways ISIS normalizes murder.
"The filming of such events is an attempt to promote the idea that the general public support executions. Children have been seen to eagerly seek a front row seat, demonstrating that they are not shy to watch such killings in public," the report reads. "Additionally, children in [ISIS] regularly witness stonings, crucifixions and beheadings. Children not only get desensitized to violence, but they also deem these practices as normal, and eventually defend them. Children have been seen accompanying prisoners to their death and, in one example, distributing knives to adults before a mass beheading."
The group's research lends further credence to reports of children playing with decapitated heads last year.
"In Palestine Street, I saw two members of [ISIS] playing with a severed head as if it was a football," Amjad Yaaqub, a 16-year-old refugee, told Agence France-Presse on April 6, 2015, from Damascus, Syria.
Nikita Malik, a senior researcher at Quilliam, told Newsweek on Monday that ISIS has used children at least 254 times in propaganda between August 2015 and Feb. 9.
"Thirty-one percent of these pictures and videos show children involved in state-building events, such as in schools, and participating in outreach events. This demonstrates how the group is attempting to portray itself as a legitimate state, showing the programs put in place for entire families looking to make hijra [migration] to the so-called caliphate," she said.
Malik added in her report that children are targeted because they are a "blank slate" without the cognitive abilities to understand what their abusers are doing. The terror group values these "blank slates" so much that roughly 31,000 women have been impregnated as a result of recruitment efforts.
"ISIS is recruiting these women in order to be baby factories," Mia Bloom of the Center for Terrorism and Security Studies at the University of Massachusetts Lowell said in September 2014, Breitbart News reported. "They are seeing the establishment of an Islamic state and now they need to populate the state."
ISIS, which President Obama infamously referred to as a "J.V. team" during a January 2014 interview with the New Yorker, now controls large swathes of the Middle East and North Africa. Malik warned the magazine that some of these children will make their way into Western countries.

"Children emerging from the Islamic State will not know anything about the world around them," she said. "They will not have learned the proper social skills needed in order to be a contributing member in a Western society and women will not have the education required for any sort of job. What they will know, the boys at least, is how to operate small arms and light weaponry. They will know how to fight. They will know violence, bloodshed and loss. … We need to prepare our communities in order to reintegrate them into society."
Islamic terror sends Christian persecution soaring

Oak Mead Café
Take some time out from exploring The Jurassic Coast and our beautiful surrounding area to visit our Oak Mead Café.
Tim and Trish are getting into the swing of café life. They have had a change around and made it their own.
They are still cooking the ever popular Oakdown full English breakfast but also have a wide choice of other hot and cold food available – including Roll Over hot dogs, tasty cakes, made to order paninis, artisan pizzas and plenty more. They are also serving barista style coffees and various teas.
No description of Oak Mead Café would be complete without mentioning the Italian Gelato which Tim and Trish make on-site.
Oak Lodge Café is open 8am – 8pm 7 days a week. It is also open to non residents
Opened on May 1st 2006 by District Councillor Mike Green, the Coffee Lodge offers a warm welcome and somewhere to relax with a range of coffees, teas and cold drinks together with a tempting selection of cakes, pasties, toasted sandwiches, cold sandwiches and light snacks.
Our centrally positioned play area's have swings, climbing frames many new items, an embankment slide, and our pride and joy is a fantasticplay tower-this gives hours of play pleasure, all equipment is on a modern safety surfaces.
One play area is on our main park and the second one is on Beech Grove adjacent to the café and Oak mead Golf.
A quiet room is set aside in our amenity building for those wishing to watch TV or play pool or table football.
We also have a "borrow/lend" book section for you to browse.
Oakdown now offers a network of wifi repeaters around the Park. Oakdown has made a large investment into this project, having had many obstacles to jump its been a timely process, the wifi network is supplied via a satellite location on the Park, internet speeds from the local exchange just couldn't cope with the demand, we are currently installing extra repeaters in areas where there is limited coverage, so be sure to check the availability before purchasing a voucher. (Due to Oakdown's Rural setting signal strength can be intermittent)
Oak Mead Family Golf and Recreation Area is immediately opposite Oakdown to the west – the meadow which has the Field Trail leading to the Donkey Sanctuary on its northern boundary and our Victorian Reed Bed and Bird Hide in the south west corner. Oak Mead has been planned from the very start as a family attraction and opened for all to enjoy in Summer 2003. The course is a 9 hole par 3 and 748 yards long.
The Golf is open all year round and is OPEN TO NON RESIDENTS. Please pay at the shop and collect your equipment (if required) and a score card

Intuit pushed out a press release today announcing "availability of the new QuickBooks app for Mac, a brand new app designed for the Mac OS that brings the power and benefits of the QuickBooks Online ecosystem to Mac users".
Is this an early indicator that QuickBooks for Mac is slated for retirement? Nothing in the press release indicates that this is so – except that the product landing page for QuickBooks App for Mac suggests that it's an upgrade from QuickBooks 2014 for Mac.
Here's the portion of the landing page for the new QuickBooks Mac App touts it as an upgrade from QuickBooks for Mac 2014.
As near as I can tell by looking at the press release and description in the Mac App Story (here) the QuickBooks App for Mac is most likely some type of wrapper around the QuickBooks Online web based solution. Good clues are the that press release touts it as "brings the power and benefits of the QuickBooks Online ecosystem to Mac users". Leading me to wonder why Mac users couldn't just access QuickBooks Online via a web browser ?
My question now is whether we might see an eventual phase out of the QuickBooks for Mac application in favor of the QuickBooks App for Mac.

Various phosphonium bromides, some of which contained a carboxylic acid functional group, were synthesized from trialkylphosphines and alkylbromides or 11-bromoundecanoic acid. 11-(Diphenylphosphine)undecanoic acid was synthesized from diphenylphosphine and 10-undecenoic acid using AIBN as a free radical initiator. Diphenyl-bis( 11-carboxyundecyl )phosphonium bromide was successfully prepared from the reaction of 11-(diphenylphosphine)undecanoic acid with 11-bromoundecanoic acid. The reported reaction of various aldehyde and ketone tosylhydrazones with dimethyl phosphite was repeated in our lab with no success. Consequently, a modified procedure was developed and used to obtain intermediates of the type (CH30)2(0)PCR1R2NHNHTos in good yields. The reaction time, which appeared to contain an induction period, for the different tosylhydrazones with dimethylphosphite ranged from 3 to 30 days and varied in each experiment. Although several experiments were run, the conditions which speed up the reaction have not been identified . Thermal decomposition or reversibility of such intermediates was observed when recrystallization was attempted. Knowing the properties of these intermediates, their reduction with sodium borohydride gave the desired dimethyl alkylphosphonates in good yields. Unfortunately the dimethyl acetophenylphosphonate could not be obtained. In an attempt to study the stereoselectivity of the dimethylphosphite addition .to tosylhydrazones, camphor and norcamphor tosylhydrazones were used. U nfortunately no addition products were obtained. Consequently a different approach was undertaken. Dimethyl and diethyl benzylaminophosphonates were prepared from benzalaniline and dimethyl or diethylphosphite. It was observed that the dimethylphosphite reacted faster than the diethylphosphite, and gave an improved yield. To probe the stereoselectivity of this reaction, camphor and norcamphor anil were used. Unfortunately, camphor anil did not react with the dimethyl phosphite. In contrast, norcamphor anil did react with dimethyl or diethyl phosphite to give the desired norcamphor aminophosphonates. It was shown by 1 H, 13C, and 31 NMR that these reactions selectively gave one isomer. Correlation of our 13C NMR data for dimethyl and diethyl norcamphor aminophosphonates with that reported for different exo and endo 2-norbornyl phosphorus compounds led us to conclude that the exo-norcamphor aminophosphonates were obtained. Asymmetric synthesis using the dimethyl norcamphor aminophosphonate and methyl lithium was attempted to give the corresponding chiral phosphorus product; however, no reaction was obtained.

Other finalists included Landor Associates and 2MG, both in San Francisco, and an undisclosed New York shop, according to the client.This is Isabella Fiore's first ad agency relationship, said client CEO Debbie Coleman. The 4-year-old company has relied upon public relations up until this point, she said."Isabella Fiore is a fashion company and we wanted something that was going to be very creative and inspirational," Coleman said. She added that TBWA\C\D's "energy and creative, cutting-edge presentations" led to its selection.Robert LePlae, president of TBWA\C\D here, noted that the shop was attracted to the brand in part because it does not currently have a client in the women's fashion category. He also noted the client's growth potential and the staff's enthusiasm for the brand as factors in the agency's decision to pursue the business.TBWA\C\D is working on corporate identity and logo development for Isabella Fiore. The client is still determining its ad budget, but future efforts will likely focus on print, said Coleman. In addition to its beaded, embroidered and hand-stenciled handbags, Isabella Fiore also offers leather goods and gift items. The company introduced a line of shoes this month. Plans to launch home design and loungewear products are also in the works. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kgBHMB copy Adweek Adweek

Two million motorists in Scotland are being targeted by the launch of a new monthly car magazine
car mag follows a spate of activity in the motoring sector, which has seen an outbreak of staff poaching and re-vamps on the back of the major new launch from Dennis Publishing – Test Drive Monthly.
Thecarmag takes the format of a 100 page glossy and has identified a niche by claiming to be the first quality Scottish car magazine "written by Scots for Scots". Dundee based motoring journalist Jim McGill is editor and has set up the privately-funded company McMedia Scotland from which the title will be published.
McGill claimed there was a need for Scotland to have its own car magazine as well as national titles. According to the Scottish Motor Trade Association, there are more than 2m Scottish motorists and the automotive industry in Scotland generates an annual turnover of £7bn.
He told Press Gazette the magazine will take a strong news line as well as covering consumer motoring, car reviews, industry news and motorsport from Scotland and abroad. The launch issue gained coverage in its own right for its story that 60 per cent of Scottish drivers ignore advice on using handheld mobile phones.
"There will always be a hardcore news line. We want to establish it as a car magazine that becomes a voice for car drivers in Scotland.
"I have felt for many years that there was a need for a Scottish voice alongside the numerous British publications.
That's why, after carrying out detailed market research, we decided to launch Scotland's own motoring magazine."
The title has been produced by a core group of six freelances – Hugh Hunston, a contributor to The Herald, Daily Telegraph freelance Brian Laban and Alan Douglas of BBC Scotland.
McGill stressed there would be an emphasis on "top quality editorial, design and photography." He has signed up a number of personalities from the world of motorsport.
Thecarmag will have a cover price of £2.95 and a print run of 25,000. A total of 18,000 copies will be sold via car dealership groups and the remainder will be sold on news-stands through John Menzies.
McMedia Scotland is hoping to widen the distribution further once the launch is underway.
