To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Subject: Digital Performance Institute
Hello all:
It's been a bit since we've communicated with you (collective you!).
A lot has changed since we began DPI -- technologies have changed -- the economy has changed -- oh boy, has it! Our stock of equipment that we loaned out is woefully obsolete, and we no longer have the same space to make available for rehearsal. We're working to renew the assets we have to offer DPI project, but first we thought we'd ask the DPI community what you need and what you're interested in.
There are a bunch of relevant questions. For example, the cutting edge in technology continues to shift. Projectors are virtually a commodity. Consumer-based technologies that are hooked to the internet are everywhere -- from the iPad to Android and the Kinect. Mobile apps are ubiquitous. Mobile and virtual projects are now extremely possible. Where does performance happen?
Society is changing. What are we making art about now? What is the relationship of the arts to the community? The economy is affecting the arts, jobs are scarce and we're struggling with basic systems like education and healthcare. Are these subjects for art and artists?
Before we figure out this year's strategy and program, we to speak to you all about those changes -- how you're responding. What technologies are you thinking about. What themes are you exploring. If we're going to continue to assemble resources support experimentation, what direction should we take?
If you've got some time to jot down some thoughts, please send them on. We're also going to convene a series of discussions at one of our new offices in midtown -- 488 Madison Avenue, 19th floor. The first will be Tuesday January 25th at 5:30. If you'd like to come, please let us know!
Come and make your opinion known!
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Patrick Kearney
Demographic Info
|The Freeway Killer, The Trash Bag Killer
|1940 (Texas, USA
|Trash Bag Murderer, The
|Tony Stewart
Patrick Kearney was born in 1940, in Texas. He was born the youngest of three males in his family. He was often picked on throughout his childhood. Some experts believe that being bullied contributed to Kearney becoming antisocial and he began to fantasize about murdering people.
Kearney's serial series is thought to have begun in 1968, at the age of 28, and ended when upon his arrest in 1977. Kearney would typically pick up male hitchhikers or men from gay bars and then murder them. Unlike many serial killers, Kearney would get sexual satisfaction after he murdered his victims. He was known to shoot his victims, usually without any warning, and then engage in intercourse, mutilate and dismember the bodies. Kearney earned the nickname, the Trash Bag Killer, because after he murdered and dismembered a victim he would wash the body parts until the blood was drained from the remains. The body parts were then placed into separate plastic bags. All of the victims remains were found along the sides of highways, in the United States, between Los Angeles and the Mexican border.
Many experts believe that it took detectives until 1975 to begin investigating the Trash Bag Killer because there were a number serial killers in the 1970s, who were also located in California. At this time, the Hillside Stranglers were abducting, torturing and murdering young girls, the Zodiac Killer was sending letters to the police for the murders he committed, the Zebra Killers were murdering people at random with machetes, Randy Kraft was kidnapping, castrating and murdering young homosexual males and William Bonin was murdering young homosexual males and disposing them on the sides of highways. However, as more Kearney's were discovered, police began to notice that he was the only serial killer, at this time, who cleaned the dismembered body parts of his victims.
On July 1, 1977 Kearney was arrested with his partner, David Hill, for the murder of John LaMay. Hill was cleared from having any involvement in any of the murders, while Kearney confessed to have murdered 35 people. He was found guilty on 21 counts of murder and was given 21 life sentences. There was not enough evidence to charge him for the other murders he confessed to.

If you have a group looking for quality Arizona corporate event, banquet or private party entertainment, look
no further than THEY improv!
Whether you'd enjoy an improv comedy show, interactive game show, murder mystery dinner or a team building workshop, THEY improv can provide you with an Arizona private party, banquet or corporate event that will help you have an enjoyable evening for all !
THEY improv leads the way for Arizona murder mystery shows for private parties and corporate events that come to you. With a cast of detectives, quirky suspects and plots customized to each group we perform for, THEY improv will have your group trying to discover whodunit while laughing the night away. For mid-sized groups, we have a team building version called the Cambridge Solution using the bosses as characters and teams working together to solve the crime. And for smaller groups, THEY improv has a game show version where the participants play all the characters in a mix and mingle party designed to get people to talk to each other and have a great time in a no-pressure environment.
Improvisational comedy is a great way to have an ensemble entertain your group. The nature of this show is lightning in a bottle. There are moments that can never be repeated because everything is made up in the moment. The audience shares the creative process and can be active participants in the fun.
Game shows invite your group to participate more directly through actually coming up on stage and being put through TV Show-styled game shows to compete for not very expensive prizes (we wouldn't want anyone unhappy that they didn't win). With a wide selection like our version of the Family Feud, the Match Game, Minute to Win It or the Newlywed Game, there is something to take care of your group. For larger groups and to increase participation, we also have Trivia Night shows that have each table or group competing against every other group, Audience Olympiads that divide your audience into 2-3 teams to compete in games, and What's the Deal? as an offshoot of the Let's Make A Deal TV Show. Simply contact our director to talk through the best options for your group.
For families, this can take the form of celebrations for weddings, engagements, bachelor and bachelorette celebrations, birthdays, reunions, anniversaries and just about anything else you can think of. For gatherings for children, they have their own birthday needs, Sweet 16s, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, Project Graduations, After or Post Proms and holidays that are focused on the kids.
In general we do not provide the venue, but instead come to you. Working with so many groups of such different sizes, it never made sense to have people come to us. Besides the great restaurants, catering facilities, conference rooms and hotels, THEY improv can even come directly into your home. This can provide the most intimate of options for your amusement for family gatherings or an out of the office evening of bonding. With no pre-defined location, this opens whole new ideas and possibilities that you might not have even considered previously.
We also provide stand-up comedy options to entertain a variety of functions. This ranges from simply providing Emcee services to having one to three comedians on-site to entertain a banquet. The prices have a wide range due to a large and diverse group of available talent. Contact us for more details.
All of these are excellent ways to boost employee morale at meetings and incentives awards gatherings providing new ways to get staff to work together for team building while they feel that the program is just to show your appreciation for their hard work. Whether you are looking for employee recognition, an office holiday party, Halloween or Christmas gift exchange or simply to have a good time, we have ideas that can help your organization with its bonding.
THEY improv works hard throughout the state. This includes not only the populous area of the Valley of the Sun, but in the Northern and Southern parts of the state as well as the tourists of Lake Havasu City. They each have their own personalities and it's more important than ever to have entertainment that understands the various personalities and can adjust accordingly.
The resorts of Sedona, Scottsdale and the areas around Tucson have distinct needs for both employee meetings and incentive awards as well as major family gatherings. Because many of these resorts are four or five star, the expectations for customized entertainment is key and THEY improv is used to making the audience the star.
Arizona private parties for families or corporate events are improved through these techniques. And the tourist industry is improved through a variety of hospitality training and team building workshops.
THEY improv is proud to serve the entire Grand Canyon state including Phoenix, Scottsdale, North Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Prescott, Ahwatukee, Mesa, Chandler, Pinal, Gilbert, Surprise, Tempe, Glendale, Peoria, the East Valley, the West Valley, the Verde Valley, Sedona, Lake Havasu City, Tucson or anywhere else.

Identifying emerging risks

The terrible events in northeastern Japan have been a chilling reminder not only of the susceptibility of this part of the world to violent seismic activity but also of the chain reaction that can be triggered by a single natural catastrophe. A recent report published by the International Risk Governance Council (IRGC), analyses fundamental risks which, if not properly addressed, can have complex knock-on effects.
The report, entitled "The Emergence of Risks: Contributing Factors" is authored by leading international authorities on the subject, with support provided by Swiss Re's Emerging Risk team.
One of the risk factors cited by the authors – there are also others – takes on macabre significance in the aftermath of the catastrophe in Japan. Described as a "Loss of Safety Margins," this risk entails "cascading failures, where a failure of one component in a system can cause failures of other components. The more tightly the components are connected, the faster and further a shock or failure can propagate throughout the system." One only need recall the consequences of the breakdown of the cooling system in the Kukushima nuclear plant in the wake of the tsunami.
With regard to addressing emerging risks in complex systems and organizations, just one of the strategies the IRGC report proposes is "enhancing the capabilities for surveillance, data collection, knowledge development, scenario planning and formal uncertainty analysis."

The Gentlemen of Iceland Airwaves- Erling from Fufanu
Finally it´s happening! Only one month to go! And now it´s time for the Gentlemen of Iceland Airwaves. It´s the band that you cannot miss this year. It´s Fufanu!
They´re in the middle of making a new album and their first single Sports was recently released with an amazing music video. They´re the perfect mixture of Depeche Mode and Joy Division and always bring an amazing stage performance that will make your jaw drop. I met up with Erling with the good hair and of course we did the Airwaves talk!
What is the best thing about being a musician from Iceland?
It´s so cold outside most of the time in Iceland, so it gives you a great excuse just to stay inside all day and do your work.
How many shows is Fufanu playing at Iceland Airwaves?
We play one gig on the festival and one off venue.
The Prodigy was my favourite band as a kid and when I heard their songs I always wanted to play drums. Also the band Mínus was the coolest and the best band in Iceland when I was starting, they inspired me so much and helped me a lot. If it wasn´t for Mínus I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be doing this.
Im definitely going to see the Sonics, we play before them.
Yes I´m excited about it. We are focusing on a lot of things at the moment, we have shows in London and Seattle before Airwaves, so I have a lot of rad feelings right now.
Yeah just have as much fun as you can, stay open minded for new bands and dress right, it´s gonna be cold outside and sweaty inside.

Letter From the Editors: March 17-23, 2014
Crimeans effectively woke up the morning of March 17 in
a different country after casting ballots the day before in what many residents
of the Crimea and Russia saw as a vote to right a historical wrong, and many
Ukrainians and members of the international community viewed as a gross
violation of international law. Could Russia's annexation of the Crimea be the
first stage of a gathering of Russian lands under the Russian flag? Will
Transnistria be next in line? (Incidentally, that region of Moldova has
asked Russia to include it in new annexation legislation the State Duma is
drafting for the Crimea.) What about southeastern Ukraine? The immediate
consequences and further implications of the Crimean referendum on secession
from Ukraine and accession to the Russian Federation are analyzed in this
issue's first set of
featured articles.
President Vladimir Putin, in an address to the Federal
Assembly, lauded and defended Crimeans' decision and justified Russia's
response, while deriding the West for double standards, skewed interpretations
of international law, ideological self-righteousness and strong-arm tactics
against other countries, especially Russia. Commentators Aleksandra Samarina
and Ivan Rodin characterize Putin's address as a mobilization speech: a call to
arms to defend Russia's rights and dignity, and to protect it against external
and internal enemies, the so-called fifth column. Could Putin be stoking the
besieged fortress syndrome?
As if
to help us answer that rhetorical question, the Russian government last week
utilized a recently enacted Internet censorship law to block the Web sites of
several "fifth columnists": radio station Ekho Moskvy, independent online
publications Ej.ru and Grani.ru, and Kasparov.ru, the homepage of opposition
leader Garri Kasparov. The so-called "Lugovoi Law" authorizes the Russian
government to block Web sites if they promote unsanctioned antigovernment
activity. While not as technologically advanced as the "great firewall of
China," commentator Viktor
Davydov wonders whether Russia's new approach to Internet censorship is
designed with an eye to the Chinese philosophy and methodology.
while Ukraine has been the focus of much attention lately, it is not the only
region of geopolitical interest to Russia at the moment. Polar ice melt in the
Arctic is revealing new money-making ventures, as well as latent territorial
conflicts. The Arctic is also attracting the interest of some unlikely
actors – China, for example. What allure might the
Arctic hold for Beijing, and what could this mean for its relations with

Letter From the Editors: March 10-16, 2014
The Crimean Supreme Council's
declaration of independence on March 11 was a political shot heard
round the world, as the autonomous republic gears up for a March 16
referendum to determine whether its people wish to join Russia. A Kiev court
fought back against separatism by issuing a ruling to arrest Crimean prime
minister Sergei Aksyonov and parliament speaker Vladimir Konstantinov.
Meanwhile, Crimean Tatars want no part of the referendum, although the newly
installed authorities in the autonomous republic are offering unprecedented
promises. On the Russian side, economic experts warn of the financial impact of
Crimean annexation: Igor Yurgens tallies the losses from threatened Western
sanctions, and Natalya Zubarevich explains the consequences of increased
subsidies from Russia's federal budget. Commentator Kirill Rogov says that the
resulting long-term isolation of Russia from Europe would make the Crimea a
"Trojan horse" for ordinary Russians: As in the Soviet days of "confrontation with
the West," it would lead to economic ruin – a technologically backward
country driven by commodities exports.
Aleksandr Rubtsov
expresses a strikingly similar opinion in this week's Russian News section,
comparing the country to a nuclear dreadnought that is suddenly reversing
direction in a "global regatta" of social and economic progress.
Digest's second feature explores perspectives on what repercussions Moscow's
recent actions could have on an international scale. Eduard Lozansky urges the
West to engage positively with Russia to avert a repeat of the cold war. Sergei
Markov is also concerned about a cold war, but a new kind: geopolitical, rather
than ideological. He says the US should stop pushing its own economic agenda in
Ukraine, and that both Moscow and Washington should support a neutral Ukraine.
Disarmament expert Vladimir Orlov points out that as the West tries to oppose
Moscow's expansionism on the grounds of international law – by invoking
the 1994 "Budapest memorandum" in which the US, Great Britain and Russia
pledged to uphold the territorial integrity of Ukraine – it finds itself
in a bizarre catch‑22: If Western countries support the legitimacy of the new
government in Kiev, they implicitly acknowledge that the Ukrainian regime that
signed the memorandum is no longer viable – and, therefore, the document
itself is no longer valid. This loophole certainly gives the Russian
authorities legal support – as if they didn't already have overwhelming
political support!
evidence of that support, Nezavisimaya gazeta's Aleksandra Samarina and Aleksei
Gorbachov recall the 446‑1 State Duma vote in favor of intervention in the
Crimea. At the same time, they see signs that Russia's nonparliamentary
opposition opposes this policy, but is keeping quiet for now in anticipation of
the Moscow City Duma elections in September. As if to belie this claim, Novaya
gazeta published a strong statement this week by Yabloko leader Grigory
Yavlinsky, in which he accuses the Russian authorities of trying to destabilize
Ukraine by discrediting its fledgling government. In a similar vein, Yulia
Latynina cites past examples to show how Putin is fabricating imaginary
"fascists" (i.e., the new authorities in Kiev) to justify aggression in
Ukraine. Georgy Bovt goes even further, claiming that Putin's pragmatic
concerns are being overridden by his thirst for power and revenge against the
West, not to mention his paranoia about NATO expansion.
of which, a Kommersant source in the US State Department says that it's
"basically a done deal" that the North Atlantic alliance will offer Georgia a Membership
Action Plan (the next step toward full accession) if Russia annexes the Crimea.
On the
other side of the world, China
and Japan are watching the situation closely. Both are wary of rocking the
diplomatic boat with Russia, but China in particular does not want to shelve
the economic development plans recently worked out with Ukraine.

Ramzan Kadyrov Rushes to Ukraine's Rescue; and
Germany's Unenviable Position
What do Vladimir Putin, Viktor Yanukovich and
Ramzan Kadyrov have in common? Besides a penchant for tightening the screws,
the above troika shared
their feelings with the press this week. Ousted Ukrainian president Viktor
Yanukovich, missing for a week (ever since he disappeared in Kharkov),
resurfaced in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, where he gave a press conference stating that he is still
the only legitimate leader of Ukraine. Referring to the new government regime
as "fascist thugs," the exiled leader condemned their Western supporters and
called for an end to the violence that has engulfed Ukraine.
leader Ramzan Kadyrov, not to be outdone, chimed in with a call to friendship
among the peoples – Russian, Chechen and Ukrainian – on the pages of
Izvestia. He also harshly condemned Right Sector leader Dmitry Yarosh for
calling on Chechen outlaw Doku Umarov to intensify terrorist attacks against
a press appearance of his own from Novo-Ogaryovo, Vladimir Putin supported
Yanukovich, lamented the difficult fate of simple Ukrainians over the past few
geopolitically charged centuries, and offered his support to Yanukovich, as
reported by Nezavisimaya gazeta. At the same time, Putin struck a conciliatory
tone on the Crimea, stating that even though the Russian Federation Council
this week authorized him to use force if necessary, that time has not yet come.
doesn't seem to be buying, however – the new government has announced a mass
mobilization and training exercises to be held across Ukraine. Some
experts, such as Viktor Davydov of the Moscow Times, are already comparing Putin's appetites
to those of Hitler and drawing parallels between the Crimea and the
Austrian Anschluss. Yulia Latynina, always one to look on the practical side of
things, draws up her own list of pros and cons on annexing the Crimea –
and declares the price too high for Russia. Making the disputed peninsula a
part of Russia is also going to pose some financial and purely infrastructural
costs, writes Kommersant – from bringing pensions in line with the Russian
average to figuring out how to bypass Ukraine to get gas and other necessities
to the cut-off region.
the Crimean crisis has spooked some of Russia's CIS neighbors. Moldova, for instance,
is calling on NATO troops to make sure that Russia doesn't repeat the Crimean
scenario with Transnistria – another long-simmering territorial dispute.
EU, on the other hand, is more spooked by the prospect of introducing sanctions
against Russia, writes Nezavisimaya gazeta. Germany in particular is going to feel the sting,
since Russia happens to be the fourth largest partner for the German machine-building
industry. Experts point out that Europe is being pressured into punishing
Russia economically by the US – which has very little at stake, unlike the
Europeans. Will economic implications triumph over political considerations? It
can't be ruled out. After all, to quote George Carville: "It's the economy,

Why Germany thinks sanctions against Russia are a bad idea
As possible EU sanctions against Russia loom, Berlin has the

At no time in history has the procurement professional been able to create so much commercial value. The rapid pace of technological innovation has empowered procurement teams with new levels of insight not possible a few years ago.
Perhaps not surprisingly, by embracing new technologies such as cloud computing, analytics and machine learning, procurement has been instrumental to the success of their organizations. They are increasingly viewed as strategic business advisors, taking ownership of an umbrella of corporate initiatives, from cost control to risk mitigation to innovation management.
Attend this webinar, hosted by Paul Cook, VP of Global Sales, at Rosslyn Analytics, and learn:
- Key considerations when choosing the right cloud analytics solution

"After last week's epic failure to repeal and replace Obamacare, President Trump is -yes, rightly- pressuring Republicans to keep to their seven-year promise to you, the American people. They are desperate for the promise to be fulfilled," said Hannity. "Republicans appear now to be throwing in the towel on repealing Obamacare. The President, he is 100% committed to holding their feet to the fire and so are we here on this show."
"Republicans are apparently ready to give up. I'm sorry there's no excuse. It's pathetic, it's inexcusable. It proves that we now have a republican party that is not only spineless, and gutless, and lacking leadership and unity. What do they stand for? What is their identity" asked Sean.
"Republicans in Congress, you have a choice to make," he warned. "You can keep your word and start doing your job and passing bills and keeping promises, repeal and replace Obamacare, or literally keep making excuses why you can't implement the President's agenda and your agenda."
"My message to you lazy people in DC is stop the vacations, get to work, because when you fail it's the American people, the forgotten men and women in this country who end up hurting," Sean added.

Black Ruthenium Electrolyte
For black decorative coatings - ideal as a perfect final finish
RUTHUNA® 479 Black is the perfect final finish for dark to black surfaces for decorative applications. The black ruthenium electrolyte is strongly acidic and has a long lifetime. It is easy to operate and primarily used for rack plating.
Depending on the degree of blackening, the abrasion resistance of the layers is good to very good. Applying a strike gold layer as an undercoat is strongly recommended. If palladium-nickel or palladium are used as undercoats, strike gold plating will partly not be necessary.

Your advantages:
- For perfect decorative dark to black final finishes
- Degree of blackening adjustable
- Good colour constancy
- Strongly acidic electrolyte with long lifetime
- Simple bath maintenance
- Good to very good abrasion resistance
- Suitable for rack and barrel
- Accessories
- Bathroom fittings

Dr. Paul Nurse is the president of the British Royal Society and the president of the Rockefeller University in New York City. In 2001, he won the Nobel Prize for his research on DNA and cell division.
Fred Guterl, writing for Scientific American, asserts Nurses global platform of experience renders him especially proficient in the cultural differences between European and North American scientists. In a recent interview with Scientific American, Nurse makes some interesting observations about the state of science in the international arena (Culture of Creativity October 2012, pp. 5253):
There is a massive collaboration going on in science. More than 35 percent of articles being published in the highest-quality journals are now internationally collaborative, up from about 25 percent 15 years ago. Collaboration is increasing and probably will increase to a very surprising level. (p. 52)
Notice Nurse is highlighting the powerful collaboration that is occurring. In the midst of all this wonderful collaboration, he observes the cultural distinctives that exist too:
There are some cultural differences in the way we approach science. In the U.S., for example, theres a particular emphasis on the individual. In Europe, the focus is more on collaboration. In the Far East, there is interest in generating large quantities of data, the bedrock on which science works. (p. 52)
Nurses comments are very exciting. They illustrate the power of diversity. Even though scientists all speak the same language of science, they still approach their disciplines at least partially from their cultural backgrounds.
Being a scientist certainly means you maintain the rigors of your discipline and the integrity of your scholarship. But it never robs you of your unique insights and approaches that derive from who you are culturally.
In the business worldand indeed in all areas of our liveswe can prosper from this understanding. We can allow the common language we speak to unite us. Simultaneously, we can respect the unique cultural differences that enrich us. Extensive collaboration in the midst of rich diversity promises higher quality for everyone.
In reflecting on the diverse mix of scientists working together, Nurse concludes:
The cultural mix is very enriching. (p. 52)
Nurse views the power of that diversity in conjunction with shared goals as being so effective, it will even bring nations together:
Scientists speak the same language. We understand one another in different countries because we deal with things in similar ways. We take a common approach to problems. Science is a catalyst that can break down the gulf between nations. (p. 53)
In your professional life, and in your personal life, think about the things that unite you with the people around you. Then think about the unique differences that exist, and choose to view them as assets rather than barriers.
You might be surprised at how much you have in common.

The Bundesliga title contenders kept up the pace at the top of the table with a routine win at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday
13.03.2016 21:24:18
Borussia Dortmund continued their pursuit of the Bundesliga title as they secured a 2-0 result against Mainz courtesy of goals from Marco Reus and Shinji Kagawa.
Thomas Tuchel's side were able to maintain their five-point gap behind leaders Bayern Munich on Sunday as the title race heats up.
Reus was on hand to open the scoring for the hosts after he latched onto Gonzalo Castro's ball from midfield, sweeping home confidently beyond Mainz goalkeeper Loris Karius.
BVB were made to wait until the second half to make all three points safe when Kagawa picked up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's cut-back before slotting into an empty net.
Watch Goals: Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Mainz
Dortmund were on top from first whistle to last, with Karius called into action to deny Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, among others.
Marcel Schmelzer got a chance to break the deadlock midway through the first half after cutting inside from the left and dancing past two opponents, but Karius did well to keep out the full-back's right-footed shot.
Castro prevented Mainz from taking a surprise lead shortly after when he cleared Stefan Bell's low shot off the goalline, with Dortmund custodian Roman Burki already beaten.
But Reus was on hand to put Dortmund ahead on the half-hour mark, as he coolly slotted his 10th Bundesliga goal of the season beyond Karius after latching onto Castro's clever throughball.
Karius then did well to rush off his line and gather before Mkhitaryan could tap home Schmelzer's low cross from the left, preventing a second Dortmund goal shortly after Reus' opener.
Mainz's keeper again showed his class early in the second half when he denied Kagawa from close range, blocking the Japan international's toe-poke from five yards out with his legs.
Aubameyang was next to be frustrated by Karius in the 51st minute, with Dortmund's top scorer denied twice in the space of 30 seconds.
Reus tried his luck from a difficult angle at the hour mark, before Mkhitaryan blazed over.
Reus then wasted a gilt-edged chance after being set up by Mkhitaryan, before Kagawa eventually sealed a vital win, tapping home from close range after some good work from Aubameyang.

On Thursday we were asked to take pictures of the food at Seven47 again. {Yep, I took such fab pics the first time, they wanted us -- me-- back for more}
We were there for Slider Thursday. There are nine different kinds of sliders -- crab cake, philly cheese steak, regular cheeseburgers, etc. They're really good and definitely a good price. Anyway, we hit the side patio again and took pics of all nine kinds of sliders.
Here are some of them:
They look pretty darn good right? They definetely taste as good as they look. If you're in the Norman area on a Thursday... go! Or, really, any night...they serve food seven days a week.
Here are a couple other pics I took after the serious slider photography was over. I think they turned out really cool.
Those are just pics I took because I really liked the light coming through the beer bottles. I love that the focal point in both is a little different. I think I'm starting to get a hang of this photography thing.

It's funny how it can take a good clearout or spring clean to remind you of all the snippets and forms of community surrounding you. At the start of this week, I started clearing out my room and moving things about in order to create more space, and in the process, I uncovered multiple mini treasure-troves of souvenirs, birthday cards, school reports, a yearbook and christmas gifts that I had received over past years.
Opening each one felt like unlocking a forgotten mental safe of memories and friendships that defined those points in my life. Especially finding the more detailed or written-in cards, and a few unopened ones, in a strange way reminded me of who I was at that stage, and who I have grown – and continue to grow – into. After being distracted from my original spring-cleaning task for long enough, I came to realise how your 'community' – your supporters, friends, family, mentors, teachers, even employers or colleagues, can extend far beyond your consciousness of its existence.
It can be easy to discount certain 'invisible' members of your community, especially if we do not hear from them as frequently as those closer to us. Even if simple gestures such as Christmas or birthday cards can seem generic or empty, to an extent, its sender did think of you and consider you a part of his or her community, enough so to extend such a gesture of acknowledgement and well-wishing towards you.
Inevitably as you go forward in life, you will lose some of those relationships and networks, but it is somewhat exciting to think back and witness how these members of your community have somehow shaped you, inspired you, taught you a lesson and more. Plus, if you're ever feeling unsure about your growth or who you are and what you have accomplished, looking through these little accounts of yourself written by people who are important to you can re-affirm the positive elements about you, but also enlighten you to some constructive (mostly constructive, but not always!) criticism about yourself that you may have worked on since then. In a way, I like to think about it as a sort of autobiographical diary.
Flipping through these souvenirs felt quite therapeutic, and turned a rather mundane task into a pleasant and fulfilling one! Despite this, it made my task slightly harder as I felt reluctant to dispose of them but hey, I guess part of moving on is letting go….

Portland Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association (NBA) star, Al-Farouq Aminu and veteran, Olumide Oyedeji and 10 other players have been selected to represent Nigeria at the 2015 Afrobasket championship holding from August 19 to 30 in Tunisia.
The list of players selected was made available on the twitter handle of the Nigerian national basketball team, D'Tigers, @NigeriaBasket on Monday.
Others are Michael Umeh, Ben Uzoh, Chamberlain "Champ" Oguchi, Michael Gbinije, Stanley Okoye, Jamal Olasewere, Olaseni Lawal, Alade Aminu, Ike Diogu and Andy Ogide.
The D'Tigers were on training tour of France where they played series of friendly matches under the watchful eyes of Newly appointed coach, William Voigt.
It remains to be seen when Nigeria – often seen as one of Africa's countries with the most basketball talent – will win their first-ever AfroBasket title.
Over the course of the past 20 years, Nigeria accomplished three second-places (1997, 1999 and 2003) as well as three third-places (1995, 2005 and 2011), making this year's AfroBasket an opportunity to write a new chapter in their basketball history.
Nigeria saw off Burkina Faso in two FIBA Africa Zone 3 qualifier games early this year to secure qualification for Africa's biggest basketball tournament and have been drawn in Group A along with hosts Tunisia, debutants Uganda and the Central African Republic (CAF).
Three years ago, they stunned the basketball world by beating the Dominican Republic as well as European powerhouse Lithuania and Greece in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament (OQT), to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics. It was Nigeria's biggest basketball achievement so far.

There are many stories of the beginning but they all begin with light. For the Ancient Greeks, Chaos sprang from the nothingness, her life a stark contrast to the Void. From the joining of Chaos and the Void was Light. That light, for many Polynesian's, was the Voice of Io – the all-father. When he spoke, the darkness was illuminated and the empty spaces were filled with expanding life. His songs became the fabric of reality, each thread an infinite piece in that tapestry of the universe.
The Dawn of Time is part of an ongoing series of watercolor and ink paintings called Out of the Darkness. This series retells the movement out of savagery and violence through a lens of shared global mythology. Pieces 1-5 of Out of the Darkness were awarded second place overall at South Bay Contemporary's All Themes Considered juried show, 2014.

How to properly clean a baby car seat
There are so numerous options to choose from when deciding on this baby device. No matter the decorations or the extra accessories the main point of it is the child's safety, which is vital to their well-being. These seats have been proven to reduce injuries when used in the proper way.
Every state in many nations requires children in these at least until age four and then the laws may vary from state to state on whether the minor requires a booster seat or not. Most children do not grow into regular restraint belts until around age seven or eight. The primary functions of these are to prevent the child from being ejected from the vehicle.
The first one, the child, will need is a newborn or infant which seats from four pounds up to twenty pounds. It is rear facing which helps the child to be comfortable, secure and safe. Next, the child will need a bigger one which is for children sizes forty pounds to eighty pounds. This seat can be rear facing or front facing.
A crucial thing to remember when purchasing a baby car seat is that the seats do have an expiration date. Most models expire after five or six years, due to the plastic drying out and degrading, which makes it more prone to cracks and not as safe. Also, buying used seats is not a good idea because you never know if it had been in an accident and if it was it is not a good idea to be used.
Adults can withstand the shocks and minor injuries that go along with moderate crashes but children cannot.
So, you want to know how to clean baby car seats in a proper way.
Sanity is important especially when we have babies around. As a parent, we will try to make everything clean so that our baby can live in a better environment. However, cleaning the baby car seat is the most difficult task to do, and we need to know each step very clearly to clean it up properly and make it last longer.
So, let ' s discover eight tips now..and it is this.
First, put away all the toys and remove the seat from the vehicle and place it on a blanket.
- Use a vacuum to clean the dirt, and pay close attention to the areas that hard to reach.
- Clean the plastic portions with gentle soap and hot water
- Now, remove the cover, and the best is to wash it with your washing machine ' s gentle cycle. Hang the over to dry and try not to use the dryer because it might shrink at some point.
- Some covers are not allowing you to remove it; therefore, you will need to spot clean the dirt by using the soap (please double confirm if the cover ' s material could clean with soap by checking it through the manual booklet) and try to leave the vehicle's door open for few hours for removing the smell.
- Make sure that you did scrub the baby car ' s arm and bottom as these are places where most dirt located
- Wipe the toys that you take away earlier
- Re-install the seat into your vehicle and make sure all it is installed it safely and properly

Take a good look because to the left is the first image we have of the new LG F92000, dubbed as the "non-smart phone smart phone."
Newlaunches.com states,
"It has a built-in QWERTY keyboard that helps it to be a messaging-centric device. The QWERTY keyboard slides out of the side and is kind of a take-off on the LG F9200. It features a 1.3-megapixel camera and a music player too. It provides instant access to Facebook right from the Messaging menu."
The phones is not one that we would recommend for web-surfing, however, since it only has 1xRTT speeds.

Five things to watch: Football vs Western Michigan
MSU football took its first steps in putting its 3-9, 2016 season behind them by defeating Bowling Green last Saturday in the Spartans' season opener.
The Spartans, now 1-0, look to ride their momentum into Saturday's game against Western Michigan.
Here are five things to watch in Saturday's contest:
Lewerke's performance: After an impressive outing last week, quarterback Brian Lewerke will look to sustain his momentum against Western.
In his third start of his MSU career and first this season, the redshirt sophomore started slow, overthrowing and underthrowing open receivers. But Lewerke stayed calm and got into a grove.
The 6-foot-3 quarterback finished the game completing 22 of 33 passes for 250 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for a team-high 69 yards on eight attempts.
"I thought Brian Lewerke played well," head coach Mark Dantonio said. "I thought he was in control of the offense. I thought he got out of problems, so that was very positive, which we knew he could do that. I thought the biggest thing that he did, I thought very well, was he led, and he didn't get overwhelmed by the situation or when things didn't go quite right. He didn't let that bother him, and I think he's only going to continue to get better and feel more comfortable in what he's doing out there."
Limiting turnovers: Saturday's matchup is a good test to see how the Spartans will rebound from their fumbling mishaps against Bowling Green. The Spartans fumbled the ball four times against the Falcons, with three being recovered by Bowling Green, including one that was returned for a touchdown.
Junior running back LJ Scott had two fumbles lost in the win, but Dantonio said that his turnovers are not anything to be overly concerned about.
Containing Darius Phillips: In the Spartans' last matchup against the Broncos, MSU was unable to contain return man Darius Phillips.
Phillips fielded four kickoffs against the Spartans in 2015, recording 185 kick return yards, including a 100-yard touchdown return.
"Well, you certainly understand that he's a factor in any football game, and so whether it's on punt or it's on kickoff, we have to work extremely hard to counteract what he's doing," Dantonio said. "So that will be a challenge, and our guys will know what's going on. He was a virtual unknown to us on that particular day back in 2015. But we know who he is now, so we'll get ourselves ready."
Phillips' domination against MSU in 2015 wasn't just a fluke.
In the Broncos' season opener against then-No. 4 USC last Saturday, Phillips returned four kickoffs, recording a net of 168 return yards, including a 100-yard touchdown return in the fourth quarter.
Kicker Brett Scanlon and punter Jake Hartbarger will have their hands full on Saturday as they will try to contain Phillips' explosiveness.
Butler vs. Scott: When the Spartans' first depth chart of the season came out, sophomore Josh Butler had beat out freshman Josiah Scott for one of the starting cornerback positions, a decision that was a surprise to some.
Despite being in the two-deep on the depth chart, Scott started against Bowling Green, recording one tackle, ½ tackle for loss and defended two passes, while Butler finished the day with three total tackles — two solo — and defended one pass.
As the battle for the starting job continues, Saturday will be another chance in which these two can separate themselves from one another and grab the starting spot for good.
Bachie on defense: Sophomore linebacker Joe Bachie is another player that hopes to carry over his thrilling performance from last weekend to this Saturday.
The second-year player recorded a team-leading and career-high 10 tackles, including four solo, in the 35-10 win last Saturday.
"I think it's what we expected," Dantonio said. "We knew he would be a dynamic player. … So I think he is what he is. The guy can really run. He's effective, very effective leader. Knows what's going on out there."

Is some income not better than no income?
Minimum wage is Ł6.08 - Assuming these employers pay 10% more than this so let's say Ł6.68 from a shop. On a 37.5 hour week that would be Ł250.50 per week. A salary of Ł13,026. After tax on a monthly basis they would take home Ł935. You say family so I would assume there are two adults in the house - with one working part time/receiving statutory maternity payments? So total monthly take home income around Ł1402.
do you think 2 adults and 2 children paying a mortgage
can live on Ł1402 a month?? as david cameron you sre out of touch with reality..dont think just because you are ok other people are getting by.
Although not ideal I would like to think that is liveable - Don't really want to list all outgoings etc but surely its better than what the dole, tax credits etc pay. And it's keeping your work history up - which looks good when whatever industry they work in brings?
The long and short of it I work in recruitment - so do have a good knowledge of the trends.

"This is a pretty big place to be shaking," said Johnson, the store's floor manager. "(It) basically rocked this warehouse."
The culprit? A driver making a left turn from westbound
No one was injured. The SUV driver was charged with an unsafe lane change and the Volvo driver was charged with driving without a license, Hudson said.
Though the incident's likely to be costly for M&G -- "there was major structural damage," says owner
"Unfortunately this is a common occurrence," he said. And it's almost always because of similar middle lane turn accidents.
"We have a long history of cars ending up in here," Larry said. Once it happened three times in one day.
The Friedman family has run the surplus store since the 1940s, according to Pilot archives.
Larry said the wall used to be made of glass -- but due to the constant accidents, they put in brick.
"But that didn't help today."
He doesn't know what the final price tag of fixing the damage will be, but to date they've spent roughly
He said he "heard a really loud bang" when the crash happened this morning.
"It was really loud. Then I stuck my head out of the front door and saw (the car)."
Larry said first responders on scene had left the car in the building as of midday, worried taking it out at the wrong angle could collapse the whole side of the building.
Luckily, Larry said, both drivers this time have insurance. So do the Friedmans.

To My Sister
by Adam Lindsay Gordon (1833 - 1870)
Australian writer
Across the trackless seas I go,
My parents bid me cross the flood,
I once had talents fit to win
My friends will miss a comrade's face,
I loved a girl not long ago,
Her cheek grew pale, in her dark eye
And yet I may at times recall
With adverse fate we best can cope
What fears have I? What hopes in life?
There is a spot not far away
Of late so reckless and so wild,
I seem to have a load to bear,
Sister, farewell! farewell once more

MaineDOT Cuts Roadway Energy Costs by
$135,000 Annually with LED Lighting
Fixtures reduce operating costs by nearly $1.5 million over next ten years
Interstate 295 is one of Maine's busiest and most important highways, providing natives and tourists alike access to some of the nation's most beautiful soft, white sandy beaches. The 53-mile highway receives a significant amount of traffic during summer months because of the influx of vacationers.
"The traffic on I-295 varies throughout the state, but the southern part of Maine is one of our most heavily trafficked areas in the summer," said Ted Talbot, Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) Public Information Officer.
Although the interstate is a reliable path to beautiful beaches, its outdated lighting created concern. "Our main goal is to provide a safe transportation system for the state of Maine," said Ron Cote, MaineDOT Electrical Supervisor. "The previous lighting illuminating I-295 was from the seventies, so it was definitely time to find a more efficient and modern light source."
Technology Advancements Create Opportunity
The state's outdated high pressure sodium fixtures were consuming 3,000-watts per tower, creating excessive costs. The MaineDOT was spending $200 monthly per tower. As a way to reduce cost, the lighting was shut off from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., which was not an ideal solution for nighttime drivers.
The MaineDOT needed a cost-effective solution that would allow lights to remain on throughout the night. Longevity and energy savings were also key priorities when searching for new fixtures. Additionally, existing high pressure sodium lighting was known for creating numerous bright spots and glare.
"The high pressure sodium lighting was not evenly distributed onto the road," said Cote. "In some spots it was too bright, which created a glare, and in other spots it was too dark. We were looking for a light source that would provide lower maintenance and a whiter light. It was also taken into account that the new fixture had to be full cut-off and provide an even light distribution."
With these goals in mind, MaineDOT set out to find a solution to effectively illuminate the roadway and provide the needed energy savings. Through research, it discovered only two fixtures could help achieve its goals.
The Solution with the Perfect Payback
The MaineDOT installed two different fixtures to compare the light quality and calculate the energy savings. After assessing the fixtures in the field, MaineDOT selected the Holophane® HMAO™ LED high mast from Acuity Brands®.
"We tested two types of fixtures from different manufacturers. Although both fixtures had excellent light quality, the HMAO LED high mast provided the quality lighting we were looking for, with the payback we needed," said Cote.
The HMAO LED high mast fixtures use prismatic glass optics that provide an overlapping distribution from each LED module and minimize the direct view of the light source. This helps eliminate the potential for dark spots and reduces glare for visual comfort.
The new LED high mast solutions use significantly less wattage than the previous fixtures. The HMAO LED uses only 290-watts and has an expected life of 25 years. Furthermore, the LED fixtures include multiple light sources for backup lighting capabilities.
"Previously, if the lights went out, that was it! We did not have another backup light source," said Cote. "Now, there are at least three LED drivers and seven LED modules per fixture, providing us with backups for proper illumination. For roadway applications, if a light goes out, it is difficult to get someone there to quickly replace it. The benefits of multiple LED drivers and modules, and the longevity of these fixtures are exactly what we wanted."
