CANNAZYM is a high-quality enzyme product. It consists of more than 12 different kinds of enzymes to which vitamins and extracts of desert plants are added. CANNAZYM speeds up the process of breaking down dead root material and activates the micro-organisms. In addition to this, CANNAZYM facilitates the improved absorption of nutrients and increases the resistance against pathogenic organisms.
The threat
In a root system that functions well, roots die and new roots are formed. The remains of roots that died form an ideal growing substrate for pathogenic organisms. After the pathogenic moulds have multiplied in the dead root material, they are a threat to the healthy roots. These are easily affected, and will lose an important part of their function. This causes stress to the entire plant and stunts any new growth.
How does CANNAZYM work?
Enzymes are substances that speed up the reactions in living organisms. (Example: enzymes play a vital role in our digestion).
The enzymes in CANNAZYM facilitate fast conversion of dead roots into minerals and sugars. This is important, as they make up a valuable source of nutrients for the plant as well as for the soil environment. A fast breakdown of root remains creates a balanced air and soil hydrology in the root environment. Furthermore, putrefaction and consequently the formation of toxic substances are prevented and the risk of an infection by pathogenic moulds is considerably reduced. This is ideal for your plant. The soil environment is improved, as the minerals and sugars that are formed as a result of using CANNAZYM, are important for the bacteria located close to the roots. These bacteria provide the plant with extra protection against diseases that are caused by moulds and facilitate the exchange nutrients and vitamins with the roots. This results in improved balance and an increased absorption capacity.
Increased health
CANNAZYM contains several easy-to-absorb vitamins that stimulate the plant to form new roots. A well-developed root system uses of a lot of young growing-points. Elements like calcium, magnesium and iron are absorbed exactly by these growing-points. Furthermore, a substance that has been isolated from desert plants has been added to CANNAZYM, as a result of which the plant's natural defence system will be improved. Activation of the defence system of the plant increases the protection against pathogenic organisms. A defence system that functions optimally allows the plant to react quickly against an imminent attack; eventual damage will be prevented or limited.
The above-mentioned information also explains why CANNAZYM is indispensable with the reuse of growing substrates; the root remains will be rapidly broken down and transformed into advantageous nutrients; infections will be prevented and the air/water relation in the root environment will be improved.
contains more than 15 different enzymes. CANNAZYM is enriched with special vitamins and extracts of desert plants. CANNAZYM speeds up the breaking down of dead root material, activates micro life, makes better absorption of nutrients possible and increases the resistance against pathogens.

Active Release Techniques Soft Tissue treatment (ART) is a patented, state of the art soft tissue movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART.
ART is based on scientific evidence that confirms that muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue develop adhesions within and between them as a result of various injuries. These adhesions cause the motion of muscles or joints to be altered, resulting in a wide variety of symptoms including pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling.
Only those certified in Active Release Techniques can effectively render treatment.

What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation refers to a skin condition where there is an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color causing a darkened area. Although it is medically harmless, it is unwelcome to those who suffer from it on cosmetic grounds. It either occurs when there is an abnormally high concentration of melanocytes for melanin production or when melanocytes are hyperactive.
What are Signs and Symptoms of Hyperpigmentation?
The most common signs of hyperpigmentation include age or liver spots. In some cases it may be present as birthmarks if present from the nativity. Darkening of the skin on a specific or a wider area is the most prevalent sign of hyperpigmentation. During hot seasons, you will probably notice that your birthmarks become darker when exposed to sunlight.
On realizing any unusual discoloration of your skin, you should immediately consult a dermatologist to rule out the possibilities of skin cancer. Provide a full list of medication you take to avoid misdiagnosis.
What are The Causes of Hyperpigmentation?
Sun Exposure: This is the most common cause of hyperpigmentation. The sun triggers the production of melanin which acts as natural sunscreen for protecting harmful rays of the sun from reaching your body.
This is the reason why your skin becomes darker when exposed to sun. However, excessive exposure of your skin to the sun can cause hyperpigmentation.
- Hormonal Changes: These are responsible for specific types of hyperpigmentation such as Melasma and choalasma. The two conditions occur in women when estrogen and progesterone triggers overproduction of melanin following your skin's exposure to sun light. Certain birth control pills which affect hormonal production also cause melasma.
- Heredity: You are at an increased risk of suffering from hyperpigmentation if any member in your family including your parents, grandparents or great grandparents suffered from the same. According to health experts, certain genes are responsible for passing on traits from one generation to the next.
- Botched Skin Treatments: Use of some cosmetic products or undergoing skin surgeries can at times lead to hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation can also be worsened if treated with intense pulsed light emissions if administered improperly. This calls for extra caution when selecting your physician.
- Celiac Disease: This refers to an immune reaction towards consumption of certain food types that contain gluten, rye, or barley. With celiac disease, your small intestines are incapacitated and thus can't absorb some important nutrients. This often impairs a number of your organs including your skin leading to hyperpigmentation among other serious complications.
Types of Hyperpigmentation
- Melasma: It is characterized by brown to grey patches that mostly occur on your forehead, chin, nose, cheeks, or on the upper lip. You can also get them on your neck or forearms. The most common cause of melasma is prolonged exposure of your skin to sunlight. Stay away from sun or use a sunscreen to fight melasma.
- Chloasma: Also referred to as the "mask" of pregnancy, chloasma is also caused by exposure of the skin to the sun although it only occurs in pregnant mothers. It is believed that hormones progesterone and estrogen triggers overproduction of melanin when a pregnant mother exposes herself to the sun.
- Solar Lentigens (Sun Damage): Also known as Sun Damage, solar lentigens refer to dark (hyper pigmented) spots caused by exposure to the sun's UV light. They can occur as a group or individually. They appear as brown to black flat spots and can affect anyone regardless of age.
- Freckles (Aka Ephelides): These consist of flat brown or red patches that disappear with a reduction* of exposure to the sun light. Freckles darkens or increases* in number the more you expose your skin to the sun.
- PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation): These refer to a variety of spots with a range of colors usually left behind following pimples infections or wounds. They are mostly caused by acne and scrubbing an inflamed area increases* their occurrence. They are best treated with OTC products containing alpha hydroxyl acids.
What is Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation?
Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation consists of temporary or permanent discoloration spots left on the skin following an inflammation. The good news is that majority are treatable with OTC products although some can last for a lifetime. Scratching an area that has acne increases* the chances of post inflammatory pigmentation. Sensitive skins are more susceptible to such inflammations.
Aging and Sun Exposure
Baking in the sun is fun but as you age a number of skin complications starts to emerge especially when harmful sun rays alters melanin production in your body. Wrinkles and age spots are some of the common problems that come with aging and exposure to the sun.
On the negative edge, tanning of the skin from effects of the sun increases* your risks of suffering from skin cancer. Sun cause damages to elastin fibers causing your skin to sag. The skin loses its ability to stretch and becomes easily bruised and easy to tear. Mostly, sun exposure and not aging is the main reason that most people don't retain a youthful skin later in life.
Hormonal Change and Pregnancy
Pregnant women experience drastic changes in hormones estrogen and progesterone. Majority of women undergo significant changes in their skins' appearances during pregnancy. Luckily, most are short-lived although some like stretch marks can be permanent. The mask of pregnancy or hyperpigmentation at areolas is the most common type of skin change in vast of pregnant moms. The darkening can also occur at the abdomen, genitals or Linea Alba.
Hyperpigmentation on the face or melasma can be accelerated by exposure to sunlight. It is therefore recommendable for pregnant mothers to wear sunscreens daily or to avoid undue exposure to sunlight.
Hyperpigmentation Treatments
Wearing sunscreens is the preliminary step towards preventing hyperpigmentation. Sometimes though, it can catch with you unawares. Luckily, there are several treatment options available including home remedies, creams, or prescribed medications. Some home remedies can react with your skin and worsen your skin condition especially if you are not aware of your skin type. Going for prescribed medications entail undertaking extra costs and spending time that both could have been put in to better use.
The most convenient treatment approach is the use of skin brightening creams which are specially formulated for different type of skins. They contain naturally extracted ingredients that will tone the color of your skin eliminating all those dark spots, wrinkles, freckles and offer protection against harmful rays of the sun. They are also convenient to order and easy to use without possibilities of any side effects.

Oasis of world-class racing
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - For most horsemen, the tiny Persian Gulf state of Dubai is far from home. It is also the place to be.
The world's richest race will be run here Saturday night in the Arabian desert, with $6 million at stake in the Dubai World Cup and $9 million on the line in five other Thoroughbred races at Nad Al Sheba racetrack.
"If they want to be internationally recognized, they have to come onto the world's stage and be part of it," Dubai World Cup chairman Les Benton said. "We've got the best race meeting in the world."
They have the best in March. The Dubai World Cup has grown into the Breeders' Cup of the spring, offering $2 million more in purses than the Breeders' Cup. While the World Cup program does not yet rival the championship races of autumn, there is no shortage of quality Saturday.
Sakhee, who is trying to solidify his claim as the best horse in the world, starts favored in the Dubai World Cup at 1 1/4 miles. Xtra Heat and Caller One, two of the fastest sprinters in America, go six furlongs in the $2 million Golden Shaheen. Val Royal, winner of the Breeders' Cup Mile, is favored to win the $2 million Dubai Duty Free at about 1 1/8 miles on turf. There are three other races with international flavor.
More than 80 Thoroughbreds from 15 countries race in four Group 1's and two Group 2's in a one-night festival that carries a distinct European flavor. Many of the runners eventually will campaign in England, where the Godolphin stable, owned by Dubai's ruling Maktoum family, wins many of the top prizes each year.
A crowd of 50,000 is expected Saturday night at Nad Al Sheba; the global television reach is more than one billion. The forecast called for temperatures to peak in the low 80's Saturday afternoon, but it could be as much as 10 degrees cooler by the evening post time.
Wagering is not allowed in Dubai, but the World Cup will be offered at most tracks in the United States. If he wins, Sakhee will be one of the lowest-odds winners in the seven-year history of the race. English bookmakers list him at 2-5.
Winner of the Arc de Triomphe and runner-up by a nose in the Breeders' Cup Classic, Sakhee has pointed for the Dubai World Cup since returning to Dubai last fall. While the 5-year-old's workout on Wednesday morning was ordinary, his 2001 form makes him a standout. Frankie Dettori rides Sakhee, who has won 8 of 12 and earned $4.2 million.
The World Cup pacesetter will be Western Pride, who would have been the only American-owned starter, but was purchased by a Saudi prince earlier in the week. Pace handicappers making a case for Western Pride have underestimated the Godolphin factor. Godolphin starts four runners, and speculation is either Best of the Bests, State Shinto, or Street Cry will be employed as sacrificial rabbit to ensure pace for Sakhee.
The strategy could benefit Japanese star Agnes Digital. A winner of five straight races, Agnes Digital is sure to produce a solid finish through Nad Al Sheba's three-furlong homestretch. Saudi-based Crimson Quest also has won five straight against lesser competition, and may take down a share.
A race festival would not be truly international without U.S. representation, and opinion in Dubai is the sprint race is a foregone conclusion. No fewer than five American runners are entered in the Golden Shaheen, led by the brilliant filly Xtra Heat and last year's winner, Caller One. Others are Men's Exclusive, a 9-year-old who is acting much younger; Fair Grounds-based Bonapaw; and a potential upsetter - the fast California-bred Echo Eddie.
Wesley Ward trains Men's Exclusive, but assistant Blake Heap has supervised the gelding's preparation in Dubai, where he finished second last year. "When we came over last year we didn't really know what we were doing," Heap admitted. Men's Exclusive overcame shoeing problems, feed problems, dehydration, and a bleeding episode to finish second. This year, Heap said "everything seems to be going our way."
That includes the likely pace. Said Heap: "They're all speed horses - we have to hope they hook up hard - and then we'll come running." Echo Eddie has improved daily leading to the Golden Shaheen. Trained by Darrell Vienna, he is being handled in Dubai by Vienna's assistant Scott Chaney. Echo Eddie is versatile, he can finish, and his American speed figures put him in the thick of it. English bookmakers list him at a tempting 25-1.
Dubai Duty Free: Good omens
"Insha Allah." It did not take Val Royal's trainer Julio Canani long to adopt the frequently used Arabic expression. It means "God willing," and Canani is getting all the right signs that his Breeders' Cup Mile winner Val Royal is the right horse for the $2 million Dubai Duty Free. When Canani won the BC Mile with Silic, he had saddlecloth 12. Val Royal wore 12 when he won the BC Mile last year. Same number for the Duty Free - 12.
"I think it's an omen, I believe in things like that," Canani said, "Insha Allah." Val Royal also has supporting form. He has won 7 of 11, had an ideal prep early this month at Santa Anita, and has trained well in Dubai. Val Royal caught an unexpected break when the horse Canani feared most - Nayef - elected to run instead in the Sheema Classic.
Val Royal's rivals include Del Mar Show, trained by Bill Mott. It was Mott-trained Cigar who helped put the Dubai World Cup on the map in 1996, when he won the inaugural running of the Dubai World Cup. Mott returns with a horse of lesser class, but one that is fresh and dangerous.
Jim and Tonic, billed as the best advertisement for international racing, won the Duty Free last year and returns at age 8. The past year, Jim and Tonic has raced in the UAE, Singapore, France, and Hong Kong. Other Duty Free contenders include Godolphin's Noverre and No Excuse Needed.
UAE Derby: Godolphin vs. 'Reality'
Is there a Kentucky Derby horse stabled in Dubai? Probably not. Six Godolphin runners contest the $2 million UAE Derby at a mile and a quarter, including likely favorite Essence of Dubai. However, the most likely winner of the 1 1/4-mile race is South American import Second Reality.
A winner 8 of 11 in Argentina, including two Group 1 races vs. older, Second Reality has been stabled with trainer Jerry Barton in Saudi Arabia since Jan. 1. "If he's the type horse he's shown us, I don't think they can beat him," Barton said. "Put it this way - if I was running against him, I'd say how can you beat this horse?"
Godolphin's 3-year-olds have not impressed on form, and the most attractive colt physically is still a maiden. Ibn Al Haitham's seasonal debut was delayed because of a skin condition, so his first start of the year comes against high-strung Norfolk Stakes winner Essence of Dubai and Second Reality.
* Three American runners - Peeping Tom, Grey Memo, and Blade Prospector contest the $1 million Godolphin Mile on dirt. In the $2 million Sheema Classic, Group 1 winners Nayef and Toubougg figure to dominate the mile and a half turf race.

Another drone video of Islay, some nice beautiful sunny views in this one. Good views of a big surf in Machir Bay. Interesting views from under some of the old bridges, something not seen before. Enjoy:
Tag: Machir Bay
A belated look back at the Islay walking week 2017
In April I went to Islay for the Islay walking week and more. For various reasons I haven't got round to write about the week so far, better get my act together now. As hoped it turned out a great week, even the weather largely held up.
Not having been on Islay for a year due to my heart operation I only went on three walks this time, freeing up some time for other activities. One was taking pictures of the remaining red phone boxes on Islay before they disappear. Here's one of them at Ardbeg:
But back to the walking: As mentioned I went on to three walks, the opening walk on the Oa, the long walk out to Bholsa and the excursion to Jura. I had considered going to Colonsay and Oronsay, but having been so many times already I changed my mind and in the event the ferry was cancelled that day anyway.
The walk on the Oa was beautiful, the weather turned out better than expected and the Sun came out for the most important part of the walk along the steep cliffs (a very heavy rain shower arrived just as we got back to the road and were arranging transport back to the cars, couldn't have timed it much better). While it was hazy for most of the time the views were impressive. It even cleared up for a short time and we could see over to Ireland.
The walk to Bholsa in the far north of Islay was educational, as it was led by geologist and book author David Webster. He explained how the landscape had formed, where the rock formations came from and much more. Some of the rocks are of volcanic origin, were once 1,800°C hot and located in what's Iceland today (hope I remembered that correctly).
The last day took us over the Sound of Islay to Jura for a walk north along the shore. From Carragh an t-Sruith lighthouse we looked over to the construction site of the future Ardnahoe distillery. Unfortunately some quite heavy rain set in soon after we left the lighthouse after lunch, ruining some of the best photo opportunities. I'll have to revisit this during my next visit. Luckily the rain stopped and by the time we returned to Port Askaig the Sun had come out and we could sit out in the garden for an after walk drink and look back at a great week.
On my non-walking days I was busy with a variety of other activities, including catching up with friends, visiting Bruichladdich and Laphroaig distilleries, visiting Islay Ales brewery, trying out the new Peatzeria pizzeria, walking on the beach in Machir Bay as well as Saligo Bay and birdwatching at Gruinart.
In summary, a great week! Looking forward to both my next Islay visit in June as well as the Islay walking week 2018.
New video: Beach walking on Islay
Just back from Islay, a report from the walking week and what else I was up to last week will follow in the coming days. For now just a very simple video, the views when walking along Kilchoman Beach in Machir Bay on the west coast of Islay:
Yes, over 5 minutes of not much happening (well, apart from the waves rolling into Machir Bay and breaking as they approach the beach). I hope you find it enjoyable and relaxing. In a way a follow up to the Do nothing on Islay for 3 minutes post from a few years ago.
New Islay video: A Whirlwind Tour of Islay
Announcing the relaunch of the blog this morning I hinted there might be a second 'Christmas present' coming up. Having only finished editing it late in the evening on Christmas Evening I still had to upload it this morning. But it all worked out and I can proudly present my latest Islay video. It's a bit different from the videos I've made previously. To start with it has music. Then it's monochrome. And it's quite fast paced. A bit of an experiment, I'm very curious to see what people think. Here it is:
In 4.5 minutes I'm taking you on a quick journey around Islay, taking in as much as possible in such a short period. Admittedly some of the selections were influenced by the availability of footage, in other areas I had to make difficult choices what to show and what to omit. Here is a list of the places you can see in chronological order:
- Port Ellen buoy
- Port Ellen lighthouse
- Port Ellen warehouse
- Port Ellen houses with passing Islay Coaches
- Port Ellen Maltings
- Port Ellen pier/marina and village
- Laphroaig approach from loch
- Laphroaig smoking pagoda
- Laphroaig stills
- Dunyvaig castle and Lagavulin
- Lagavulin distillery
- Bowmore distillery approach from sea
- Bowmore Main Street
- Round Church
- Barnacle Geese in front of Port Charlotte
- Barnacle Geese at top of Loch Indaal with Paps of Jura

I still think that's quite impressive for 4.5 minutes, also a sign of how much Islay has to offer. It might be too fast and hectic for some, but then it might be exciting and fresh for others. I'm normally not a big fan of music for videos (certainly for my videos) and prefer more natural sounds, but here it felt appropriate so I used some. To avoid any rights issues (not to mention that the lyrics I feel often don't really fit) I didn't use any big hit(s) known to many but used some free music offered by Google. No lyrics, so no risk of conflict there either. The style of music will probably not be to everyone's taste, I like the speed and energy in it.
Now it's over to you, I hope you enjoy and like the whirlwind tour of Islay. Let me know what you think.

Six Lexington projects were recently named finalists in the Knight Cities Challenge, which during its first two years awarded grants totaling $787,400 to three other local improvement projects.
So far, there's not much to show for that investment. But project organizers say wait a few months, because things are taking shape behind the scenes.
The largest Knight grant was awarded in 2015: $550,000 to the North Limestone Community Development Corp. to help buy a vacant 1920s bus terminal on Loudon Avenue at North Limestone for use as a common market, a local food processing and distribution hub, and a business space for neighborhood entrepreneurs.
The Lexington Transit Authority owns the building, which it first planned to demolish and replace with a new headquarters. Preservationists persuaded Lextran to build itsheadquarters a few blocks down the street.
Because the old bus terminal was bought with federal funding, Lextran is required to sell it at fair market value. The appraisal process and construction of the new headquarters has delayed the sale, but bids were due Wednesday. NoLi CDC and development partner Chad Needham submitted a bid, NoLisaid president Grant Phelps said. Needham has renovated a number of homes and commercial buildings in North Lexington.
Neither Phelps nor Lextran spokeswoman Jill Barnett said they knew whether other bids were made for the building. Lextran's board meets Feb. 15. Barnett said she didn't know what if any action would be taken on the sale then.
Phelps said he hopes NoLi CDC will be the successful bidder. "Our goal would be to enhance employment opportunities as well as economic development opportunities in the North End by creating businesses and jobs and increasing access to fresh food," he said.
Last year, the Knight Foundation awarded two grants for Lexington projects. The largest was $150,200 to the Lexington Public Library Foundation for Phoenix Forward, a demonstration project this summer to integrate Central Library programming into adjacent Phoenix Park.
The library is working with the city's parks and recreation department to organize programs in the park each Saturday during June and July, and during other family events this summer, said Rob Parmley, the Central Library manager. Details are to be announced in May.
The library also is working with designers on improvements for Phoenix Park, including seating, lighting and music elements for use during programs, said Anne Donworth, the library foundation's director. Designs will be completed by March.
The library tested some of its ideas last March, when a temporary children's play area was installed on Central Library's first floor, and lawn chairs and straw bales were put in the park for socializing.
One of the library's biggest challenges in expanding family programs into the park is that for years it has been a gathering place for transients, who use Central Library's restrooms and public-access computers, or just want to get out of the weather.
Donworth said the library has been working with several other organizations to try to minimize those issues, including Lexington police, the city's new Office of Homelessness Prevention and Intervention, and Anderson Communities, which owns the Park Plaza apartments next door. But many challenges remain; it is a public park and a public library, and transients are part of the public, too.
The grant includes money for extra security during library events, as well as event staff, some of which is likely to come from the city's summer youth jobs program.
The Knight Cities Challenge also awarded an $87,200 grant last year to the Downtown Development Authority for a project it called Parking Lot Diaries.
That project's goal is to gather ideas and test concepts for engaging people at a city parking lot along Vine Street that will become part of Town Branch Commons, a 2.5-mile long series of small parks downtown along the historic path of long-buried Town Branch Creek. The future park is across Vine Street from the Transit Center, which 5,000 pedestrians pass through each day.
Last October, the authority set up booths at the Transit Center, the parking lot and three other locations around town and gathered 996 ideas from more than 600 people, said Hannah O'Leary, the authority's project analyst.
Among the most popular things people wanted to see around the park and Transit Center were more greenery; furniture and resting places; safer pedestrian crosswalks and bike lanes; places to get coffee and food; and public art. The authority plans to install a temporary "pop-up" park in the parking lot in May to test some ideas gathered from the public.
The Knight Cities Challenge is a project of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, which supports community improvement projects in 26 cities where the Knight brothers once operated newspapers, including the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe 2014
The costliest Rolls is one truly expensive car. It ranks up there with the super exotics, but Rolls-Royce affirms its level of class and prestige cannot be supplied at $300,000. It's clearly directing that at rival Bentley, yet as much as a half-million-dollar car should offer only a courtly, stately air and be limited to the likes of royalty, the Drophead Coupe is by far the fun, informal Rolls-Royce. It demands sandals and a golfing shirt, early afternoon shopping on Rodeo Drive, and weekend yacht trips that begin on Thursday morning. Thank the yacht-inspired teak deck that stows the convertible top and the yacht-like locomotion from the 6.75-liter V-12 engine. After all, wind-blown hair is the least of your worries. You're just looking for the perfect spot to stop, take in the views, and open up the picnic-ready trunk lid to create an impromptu table seat for two. Far from reality? Maybe so, but this is how your life appears when you're rolling around in such an exquisite, expensive specimen.
Price: $469,900
Engine: 6.75-liter V-12
Horsepower: 453
0-60: 5.6 seconds
Top Speed: 149 mph (limited)
Transmission: 8-speed automatic

Social Evolution & History
Soc Evol Hist
Published/Hosted by Uchitel Publishing House.
The Social Evolution & History is a semiannual international journal that serves the needs of all scholars seeking for an understanding of how human societies developed in the past and continue to develop in the present. The Journal acts as a forum for debate about key issues and concepts in the field, challenging and re-examining the boundaries of the search. As well as original research articles, the journal includes critical notes and a book review section. The Social Evolution & History a semiannual international journal publishing researches on the basis of its originality, importance, interdisciplinary interest. The Journal's aim is to contribute to the integration of such fields of knowledge as anthropology, history, sociology, and also philosophy and theory of history. Such integration has been lacking until now, though its necessity has long been felt acutely by the academic community. In the current situation of continuously increasing knowledge and professional endeavor, any attempt to introduce new methods of integrating facts with social theory, and to establish interdisciplinary links, would appear to be especially valuable.

Flora and Fauna Potomac Fiber Arts
May 23, 2017 - June 25, 2017
Event Navigation
Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery announces the opening of the juried show Flora and Fauna on May 23, 2017. The show will close on June 25.
For this show, our artists look for inspiration from the living world of plants and animals: extant or extinct, real or imagined, from the microscopic to the charismatic megaflora and megafauna.
This show will also highlight the work of artists Jeanne Bohlen and Floris Flam. Jeanne Bohlen has a passion for the fiber arts, with ecoprinting, knitting, tapestry weaving, dyeing, and spinning being her current areas of interest. Her favorite part of ecoprinting is the sense of discovery that accompanies unwrapping the bundle and seeing the shapes and colors that have been imprinted on the cloth. When weaving, knitting, and dyeing it is color that she find most exciting, and when spinning, it is the feel of the fiber as it moves through her hands.
Floris Flam has sewn since childhood. She has been a quilter for 30 years and a dyer for 15. Her wall hangings are inspired by the geometry of the world around her. Her work is abstract but often suggests architecture, influenced both by her having grown up in New York City and by her travels. She loves color, visual texture, and spatial ambiguity. She works intuitively and interactively, generally starting from a palette of colors rather than from a sketch. Her piece are machine quilted using a wide range of thread colors to add texture, reinforce the composition, and provide a further layer of interest.

Shining City On The Hill
Walking next to the River Aln one morning was a spectacular experience. It was a quiet and peaceful morning. Everything around me took that nice blue color that is quite common before sunrise. Then all of the sudden I happened to look up towards the castle to see that it was glowing bright gold and stood out over everything else around me. It was absolutely a stunning show of light and color.Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

At Coatroom — a new nails and waxing salon in Arlington, Va. — salon staffers are called upon to write and produce their very own magazine.
In our industry it's pretty common to wear a lot of hats to get the job done; most techs also act as their own bookkeeper, PR person, and head of maintenance. But here's a new one: At Coatroom — a new nails and waxing salon in Arlington, Va. — salon staffers are called upon to write and produce their very own magazine. The publication — not surprisingly called Coatroom — is available for clients to peruse while soaking in the pedicure tub or waiting for their nails to dry.
"The magazine is a collaborative project — an effort across the whole team," says Coatroom's owner Justin Cook. "We thought it would be a fun project, and our goal is to provide a new type of salon experience, so curating our own magazine for our guests just made sense."
Cook's hope is to create a community hub for the neighborhood by covering topics like nail and beauty trends, local events, in-store promotions, and a rotating "Girl's Night Out" feature highlighting the D.C.-metro area's diverse fashion and beauty community.

Why can you drive down the projects in HipHopCultureIsGreatVille, USA and see BMW 5 series and Lexus model cars parked in front of 500 square foot.. homes?
If your first reaction is to read the above and regard it as a stereotype, then you are deluded.
My sister in law is in charge of child protective services and constantly tells stories of how these welfare recipients drive up in $50,000+ cars, wear tons of gold/platinum jewelry, have Gucci bags, and are asking for government hand outs to help pay for their kids.
Deluded liberals allow this.
Can't really blame the black race for it. They are either victims of slavery or victims of not getting enough from the government.
Barack Obama met with Al Sharpton and other "African American leaders" to discuss the president's "plan to strengthen the economy for the middle class and continue to build ladders of opportunity for those striving to get there," according to the White House.

Interesting post although I believe misleading. Honestly at this
point I don't think any of our leaders/polititians do anything with
race in mind. I believe they understand that now race isn't as
uch of a driving factor as it used to be.

Hello, Brent here. Just wanted to share with our brides and grooms the latest fashion editorial video that we edited for LA's Filler Magazine featuring Mary Elizabeth Winstead. This rising star is best known for her leading role in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, and now she's starring in the biggest horror movie to hit the screen this weekend: "The Thing". (I'm going to watch this movie ASAP, but I'll make Vanessa stay home. I don't want my unborn child being exposed to any horror!)
In case you haven't seen the trailer for "The Thing" then grab a handfull of popcorn and make it a show.

The Department of Commerce announced this week that U.S. companies can now export some crude oil to Mexico. There is a vigorous debate in Washington over crude oil export policy. Exxon and other industry groups lobbied to remove the prohibition on exporting crude oil.
President Dwight Eisenhower issued an executive order to prohibit crude-oil exports. The theory was to use cheap foreign oil and preserve our domestic crude oil reserves. U.S. government estimates of the size of our domestic reserves vary greatly over time. In the 1930s, estimates held that the U.S. would run out of crude oil in a few years.
Several years ago, before shale-oil discoveries, the U.S. imported over 50% of our crude oil. With the increased US production our imports have plummeted and our production has increased. For example, in 1994 we produced about seven million bbs day and imported six million bbs. In 1997, we imported 10.7 million bbs. In 2014, we produced nine million bbs and imported six million bbs. If trends continue, the U.S. in two decades could be self-sufficient in crude-oil production, some estimates contend.
Mexico produces three grades of crude oil: heavy, light and super-light. (Extra-heavy oil is in the government's plan for auctioning petroleum blocks. Mexico's refineries were built for light crude oil, which, as a percentage of Pemex's total production, has been shrinking since the 1980s.
"Today, with U.S. light shale oil in abundance, it makes sense to swap Mexican oil for oil produced in the United States," observes George Baker, publisher of an industry newsletter focused on Mexico.
According to Dr. Tony Payan of the Rice University Baker institute Mexico Center, this permit to export U.S. crude to Mexico really is important. There are several reasons this is important for both Mexico and the United States.
First, for Mexico, this means that it will be able to export most of its oil, which is heavy crude that requires heavy investment to refine, and import lighter crude from the United States, which requires less investment to process. This will enable Mexico to increase its profit margins in refining.
Second, for the United States and North America, this marks another step in the further integration of the energy markets, with a freer flow and even swaps, such as the one I just indicated, so that everyone gains from this.
Third, this specifically means for the U.S. that as the country comes closer to becoming an energy exporter, its markets abroad expand as well preparing the ground for a future that may include U.S. exports in a way that we have not seen since the 1970s.
Mexico exports of crude oil to the US over the past few years have fallen as the Mexican oil production has fallen substantially. The Mexican national oil company eight months ago applied to import 100,000 bbs a day, which the Department of Commerce now grants. This Mexican concession is not a major reversal of our export prohibition policy. This can be viewed as a swap of quality light U.S. crude for Mexican Maya crude for blending. The Department of Commerce does allow US crude oil to be exported to Canada and some to Japan.
