About Salomon
Based in Annecy, France, Salomon started out in 1947 making ski edges and saws. In 1957 they created their first ski binding and in 1966 they invented the world's first self-releasing heel piece. The innovative quality of their products saw them quickly grow into a huge global brand, and today they manufacture skis, boots, poles, bindings, snowboarding equipment, helmets, trail running shoes and much much more.
Constant innovators
Always at the cutting edge of design and development, Salomon have introduced some of the ski industry's biggest innovations. Back in the late 90's they gave the world the first ever twin-tip ski – the Teneighty – which proved to be an enormous success, giving rise to the freeski movement and paving the way for the huge variety of twin-tips that we see in the market now.
Their Canadian air force team of Mike Douglas, JP Auclair, JF Cusson & more took the 1080 and used it as a tool to pioneer much of what we take for granted in freestyle and freeride skiing today, which is testament to Salomon's forward-thinking, innovative mindset.
One aim: to make you play
The Salomon family are a close-nit bunch of designers, engineers and athletes who combine to constantly push the envelope when it comes to product design and evolution. They say that their mission is to enable you to play, progress and connect with nature – all of which sounds pretty good in our book.
This is all reflected in their exceptional range of skis, boards, boots, bindings, helmets, poles, clothing, footwear luggage and accessories – which are proving to be some of the most popular in the market.

Far from extinguishing hopes for progress in nuclear disarmament, the violence-torn summer of 2014-- televised killings in Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, and Iraq-- should remind us of the inarguable imperative of prohibiting and eliminating nuclear weapons.
The newest brief from the Middle Powers Initiative puts this imperative into the current political and geostrategic context, and calls for a legal framework to create, verify, and maintain a nuclear weapons-free world.
Download the brief
Creating the Conditions and Building the Framework for a Nuclear Weapons-Free World was the title of the Berlin Framework Forum, a new initiative designed to help implement the decisions of the 2010 NPT Review Conference leading to the elimination of nuclear weapons.
26 governments, 12 parliamentarians (from Germany as well as other states), the United Nations and some of the preeminent research institutions in the field took part in the February 20-22 event.
The former Mayor of Hiroshima, Tadatoshi Akiba, has been appointed Chairman of the Middle Powers Initiative (MPI), David Krieger, Chairman of MPI's Executive Committee, announced today.
He hailed Akiba, one of the world's foremost campaigners for the abolition of nuclear weapons, as "an internationally respected leader for his stewardship of Mayors for Peace."
The Middle Powers Initiative organized, with the support of the Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations, a roundtable on "Creating the Conditions and Building the Framework for a Nuclear Weapons-Free World" on October 10, 2012. Representatives from 29 countries, plus UN officials and NGOs, attended this preparatory meeting for the Framework Forum that will be held in Berlin, February 2013.
Framework Forum Inaugural Session
The inaugural meeting of MPI's Framework Forum was held in Vienna on May 1, 2012 with the theme of "Building the Framework for a Nuclear Weapons-Free World: Laying Out the Map." Held at the Vienna Diplomatic Academy with the support of the Austrian Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs, the roundtable brought together more than 50 representatives from governments and NGOs to examine some of the technical, legal and political requirements for a world free of nuclear weapons.
MPI Calls for a Global Ban on
Nuclear Weapons
"It is urgent to begin collective preparatory work leading to the enactment of a universal, verifiable, irreversible and enforceable legal ban on nuclear weapons," declared the Middle Powers Initiative (MPI), a coalition of eight international disarmament organizations.
This is the message of the new brief from MPI, "A Global Law to Ban Nuclear Weapons."
MPI Founder Douglas Roche, O.C. embarked on a world tour to present pre-publication issues of the brief to foreign ministries in Beijing, New Delhi, Moscow, Oslo, Sweden, Brussels, Berlin and London.

International Disarmament Expert Henrik Salander Named to Head the Middle Powers Initiative
Ambassador Henrik Salander, a Swedish diplomat and internationally-renowned expert on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, has been named the new Chairman of the Middle Powers Initiative (MPI), succeeding the founding chairman of MPI, former Senator Douglas Roche of Canada.
Senator Roche, who is stepping down from the chairmanship at age 80, made the announcement on behalf of MPI's International Steering Committee.
An open letter to the Nuclear Suppliers Group
MPI Chairman Hon. Douglas Roche, O.C., and GSI President Jonathan Granoff sent a letter to the Foreign Ministers of the Nuclear Suppiers Group, urging these countries to use the opportunity of the US-India deal to take a principled position to strengthen our global security regime.
The deal, as Senator Roche and Mr. Granoff stated in the letter, "can either corrode the norm-setting foundation of the non-proliferation regime or strengthen it depending on the behavior of the Nuclear Suppliers Group. If serious non-proliferation conditions are not placed on the deal then how can anyone in the future take commitments to promote non-proliferation seriously? When political leverage is available, the failure to use it indicates a failure to believe in the policies that could be advanced."

MPI Releases New Policy Brief: "Visible Intent: NATO's Responsibility to Nuclear Disarmament"
As NATO gears up for its 60th anniversary summit next year, MPI has published a brief arguing that a Strategic Concept that still includes nuclear weapons is contrary to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and irrelevant to modern strategic concerns.
Revitalizing Nuclear Disarmament
MPI, in partnership with the Pugwash Conferences, released the paper,"The Imperative of Revitalizing Nuclear Disarmament," based on the Extraordinary Workshop convened by Pugwash Conferences and MPI July 5-7, 2007 in Pugwash, Nova Scotia.
This is a clear, comprehensive and lucid analysis of the present nuclear weapons problem along with practical recommendations, in part synonymous with the MPI Paper, "Towards 2010: Priorities for NPT
Consensus," which emerged out of the Article VI Forum process. This paper was also distributed widely at the recent Preparatory Committee conference of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, held in Vienna, April 2007.
MPI Releases its paper for the 2007 Preparatory Committee of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
Since the 2000 Review Conference, the NPT has suffered a long winter of discontent. It is time for a springtime of hope. That hope must be based on realistic political prospects for progress. This paper, based on four meetings of the Article VI Forum, specifies areas where progress can be made on a consensus basis. Leadership by middle power states is essential in forging the consensus. The threat-reducing, security-enhancing aspects of that consensus should be compelling to security policy planners in nuclear weapon states.

The Middle Powers Initiative (MPI) deplores the nuclear test by North Korea and urges all parties to exercise restraint and place their faith in diplomacy rather than ratcheting up bellicosity. MPI is dedicated to the promotion of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation through diplomacy and the rule of law. We deplore the proliferation of nuclear weapons as well as the failure of the nuclear weapons states to demonstrate adequate leadership in fulfilling their legal duty to work for and obtain the universal elimination of nuclear weapons.

MPI Convenes Third Meeting of Article VI Forum
Ottawa, Canada
September 27-29, 2006
Representatives from twenty-five states met in the Canadian capital on September 28-29 for a Middle Powers Initiative sponsored consultation on Responding to the Challenges to the NPT. This was the third meeting of the MPI's Article VI Forum, an initiative designed to create an informal setting where diplomats, experts and NGOs can discuss ways to strengthen the nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation regime through the NPT.
The Ottawa consultation centered on the premise that the next review conference in 2010 of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the central instrument that is supposed to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons, not repeat the failure of the 2005 review.

Inaugural "Article VI Forum"
United Nations, New York
October 3, 2005
The Middle Powers Initiative was honored to inaugurate the "Article VI Forum" at the United Nations on October 3, 2005.
The Forum is a new and creative initiative intended to stimulate and shape effective responses to the crisis of the non-proliferation / disarmament regime manifested by the breakdown of the 2005 NPT Review Conference. The Article VI Forum takes its name from the article of the NPT in which the nuclear states commit themselves to the elimination of their nuclear weapons.
The Forum is conducting high-level meetings with key diplomats and leaders to examine the political, legal, and technical elements required for a nuclear weapons-free world.
The Forum will continue its work of advancing the imperative to uphold the core bargain of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty relating to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and ensuring steady progress toward their global elimination.

How to Install / Replace your LENOVO 04X1274 Keyboard?
Turn off your laptop. Disconnect the AC adapter and any cables, then remove the battery. Turn the laptop over and let it cool off for a few minutes before you begin.
On the underside of the notebook, you'll find screws holding the keyboard and palm rest in place. Set the screws aside, and be sure to keep track of them all.
Turn it over and open the Lid. Slide your fingers under the top of the palm rest and gently pull it up, moving from the center to the outer left and right edges. Leaving the fingerprint reader attached, place the palm rest down in front of the unit.
Lift the damaged
LENOVO 04X1274 Keyboard
up from the front, then pull it toward you to release it from the notebook's frame. Pull up on the connector to detach.
Attach the new
LENOVO 04X1274 Keyboard replacement

bc is an arbitrary precision numeric processing language. Syntax is similar to C, but differs in many substantial areas. It supports interactive execution of statements. bc is a utility included in the POSIX P1003.2/D11 draft standard.
Since the POSIX document does not specify how bc must be implemented, this version does not use the historical method of having bc be a compiler for the dc calculator. This version has a single executable that both compiles the language and runs the resulting `byte code'. The byte code is not the dc language.
Downloading bc
bc can be found on the main GNU ftp server: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bc/ (via HTTP) and ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bc/ (via FTP). It can also be found on the GNU mirrors; please use a mirror if possible.
Online Manual is available at www.gnu.org/software/bc/manual/, as well as one for dc. info bc or man bc, or by looking at /usr/doc/bc/, /usr/local/doc/bc/, or similar directories on your system. A brief summary is available by running bc --help.

Rumor: Amazon's About to Spring a 3D Smartphone
Jun 16, 2014 1:31 PM PT
Amazon reportedly is adding an important new tributary to its river of products this week: a smartphone line. The company has a media event scheduled for Wednesday and expectations are high that it's about to reveal its first mobile device.
"Amazon has already seen some success in the tablet space (with Fire HD and HDX) as well as the home entertainment space (with Fire TV)," Todd Day, senior mobile and wireless industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan, told the E-Commerce Times. "The smartphone is the most mobile device, which makes it the most-used device. The next logical step for Amazon is to provide a smartphone that will help enable access to Amazon's content."
Hardware Experience
Amazon has a certain degree of experience in the hardware market, first with its line of Kindle e-readers. It later found a degree of success with its Kindle Fire tablets. More recently, it launched the Fire TV streaming video box. Now it appears ready to expand the Kindle Fire product line.
The company long has been rumored to be working on a smartphone. It has a history of experimenting with new products and services, from creating its own hardware to planning future deliveries by drone.
Innovation is at the heart of Amazon, and early indications are that its first smartphone will include a 3D display. A teaser video showed a number of Amazon customers appearing to be impressed by the visual appearance of a product they were holding in their hands. However, skeptics seem to think that the inclusion of 3D is simply a gimmick.
"3D wouldn't really be anything more that a marketing tool. While many customers aren't necessarily looking for 3D, the fact that it is a 'better' device with 'more' features will help as a selling point." Frost's Day said.
'Lasting Quality'
"This is not the first 3D phone we've seen. HTC released one; so did LG. Since then, we haven't seen a 3D phone on the market. 3D as a whole, on devices, hasn't really taken off. As a topic, as a feature, it just doesn't have that kind of lasting quality," Ramon Llamas, mobile phones research manager at IDC, told the E-Commerce Times.
"The only thing that really makes sense to me is that they could tie it into shopping," he continued.
"Amazon is nothing if not one of the greatest online retailers. Shopping on a smartphone is difficult: You don't have a lot of real estate. You don't have a lot of space, but if you can show people almost in 3D what you can do with this, that would be pretty neat. But I have to rein my enthusiasm back because that's a lot of content you have to put through the 3D machine in order to offer it," Llamas pointed out.
"They've shown through history that they typically sell these devices at cost and benefit from the back end, from selling goods and services," Wayne Lam, senior telecom electronics analyst at IHS, told the E-Commerce Times.
"Do they need to be really competitive? Do they need to sell in volumes that Apple is selling in?" he asked. "No, but they need to be compelling to stand out from the crowd. I think therein lies the need for them to differentiate the user experience. I think there's a lot of interesting tie-ins they can do with 3D and augmented reality in the engagement and purchasing cycle, but it's hard to say how they'll sustain the consumer's interest aside from this 3D interface. There has to be more to keep the consumer there."
Digital Goods Mentality
Amazon is stepping into a market largely dominated by two players: Apple and Samsung. Yet it might be much more interested in affording consumers an additional way to consume content offered through the company's digital goods storefront and another window for customers to browse Amazon's store.
It's a tactic that has served the company well on Kindle and Kindle Fire, while Amazon Prime likely offers extra value proposition through premium streaming video content, including a bevy of hit HBO shows recently made available, including The Wire and Six Feet Under.
"Amazon is a different beast from a pure-play hardware manufacturers," IHS' Lam said. "They've shown throughout their history that all their hardware endeavors have been purposeful in inducing sales of their core business, which is online retail, selling content and goods."
While it will difficult for Amazon to target the major market players at first, it might have designs on overtaking the likes of BlackBerry and Windows Phone.
"It will likely not affect BlackBerry, as they have already fallen out of the picture," Frost's Day suggested. "It could cause a slight problem for Microsoft if another player is in the picture. However, Microsoft's strategy around Windows is looking to focus on integration of PC, smartphones and tablet technologies. As a result, Microsoft could possibly be the least affected by an Amazon smartphone."
Android Poser
One key question is whether Amazon will continue its Kindle Fire strategy of running a forked version of the Android operating system or strike out on its own.
"I think it'll probably strike out on its own," IDC's Llamas said. "It affords Amazon two things: differentiation from a huge sea of Android smartphones; and ... the differentiation that it brings to the table because the big thing for Amazon, the core value proposition of this phone, is going to be shopping. [With] the number of adjustments and tweaks and the special sauce that they have to add on top, it'll probably serve them best by not being yet another Android phone."
For Amazon to truly compete in the smartphone space, it may have to compete with the company's main weapon: price. It has a rich history of selling its devices at cost to get consumers invested in the ecosystem before attempting to generate revenue through sales of other goods such as e-books and other digital content.
"Amazon will need to create a device that is comparable to the iPhone and Galaxy products but at a lower price point," Day said.
High Stakes
"The stakes are fairly high," said Rich Karpinski, senior analyst at the Yankee Group. However, "the odds of it succeeding in the smartphone business are not high. It's brutally competitive, and new entrants have a tough road ahead of them.
"Facebook, in particular, has shown interest in phones, has a great brand and huge user base, and has failed. Amazon, of course, has done very well with tablets -- but phones are a different story," Karpinski told the E-Commerce Times.
"What I am most anxious to find out is how much Wall Street will allow Amazon to invest in losing money in the smartphone business in the expectation of making it up in other areas," said Carl Howe, vice president of research and data sciences at the Yankee Group.
"Only two major manufacturers today -- Apple and Samsung -- make any money from selling smartphones," he told the E-Commerce Times. "What I think has surprised most analysts is that no other firm has gained share simply by undercutting those two giants, simply because they don't have the deep pockets created by making profits in that industry. Even Microsoft, with all its financial resources, hasn't really made a dent in the dominance of those firms."

Fragrant oils have been used for thousands of years to lubricate the skin, purify air, and repel insects. Ancient Egyptians used fragrant oils for bathing and massage. Essential oils of plants have been used medicinally through application directly to the skin (usually diluted), as a part of massage, added to bathwater, via steam inhalation, or in mouthwashes.
Aromatherapy is a technique in which essential oils from plants are used with the intention of preventing or treating illness, reducing stress, or enhancing well-being. Fragrance oils and products containing man-made compounds are not used in the practice of genuine aromatherapy. Although many gift shops sell scented candles, pomanders, and potpourri as "aromatherapy," genuine aromatherapy treatments use higher strength (concentrated) essential oils drawn from various herbs.
There is no formal training or licensing procedure for aromatherapists in the United States. This technique is offered by a wide range of practitioners with licenses in other fields, including massage therapists, chiropractors, and other therapists.
A variety of mechanisms have been proposed for the reported effects of aromatherapy. It has been suggested that following placement of oil onto the skin, or breathing in fragrant air, the odor-sensing nerves in the nose are stimulated, sending impulses to the limbic system of the brain (a center for processing of emotions). A different theory is that some oils directly interact with hormones or enzymes in the blood, or stimulate the adrenal glands. Scientific research is limited in these areas, and it remains unclear how specific types of aromatherapy may work in the body.
There are more than 100 essential oils commonly used for aromatherapy. These oils are extracted from flowers (rose, narcissus), roots (orris), leaves and needles (eucalyptus, pine), resins (turpentine), seeds (caraway), fruits (lemon, lime), berries (cloves), bark (cinnamon) and wood (cedar). Many are obtained from familiar herbs and spices (basil, anise, nutmeg, cumin, oregano), and many are derived from substances related to herbal medicine (ginger, garlic, St. John's wort).
Evidence Table
These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Aromatherapy using essential oil of lemon balm (
Melissa officinalis
) may reduce agitation in people with severe dementia, when applied to the face and arms. Other research reports that steam inhalation of lavender aromatherapy may have similar effects. Overall, the evidence does suggest potential benefits.
Aromatherapy may be as effective as some types of acupuncture in treating alcohol withdrawal symptoms. More study is needed in this area.
Alopecia areata is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks hair follicles, resulting in unpredictable patches of hair loss. Early evidence suggests a blend of essential oils rubbed into the scalp may show benefit.
Lavender aromatherapy may be able to reduce anxiety. However, there have been conflicting results, and more study is needed in this area.
Lavender may contribute to reduced anxiety and improved mood, at least subjectively, but some other aromas, such as sandalwood, may not. More studies are needed to confirm these findings.
It is unclear whether lavender aromatherapy reduces anxiety levels in intensive unit care patients.
There is not enough scientific evidence to recommend for or against the use of aromatherapy in arthritis patients.
It is unclear whether aromatherapy might benefit children with atopic eczema.
Aromatherapy is often used in people with chronic illnesses (frequently in combination with massage), with the intention to improve quality of life or well- being. There is not enough scientific evidence in this area.
Aromatherapy may be helpful during childbirth to relieve anxiety, pain, nausea, and/or vomiting or to strengthen contractions. It may also reduce pain perceived by first time mothers.
Early evidence suggests that aromatherapy may aid mucus clearance in COPD. More studies are needed before conclusions about this application of aromatherapy can be made.
Early research in Guillian Barré syndrome patients show a possible benefit of aromatherapy massage for constipation, and rosemary, lemon, and peppermint essential oils may be beneficial in the elderly. Additional study is warranted to differentiate the effects of essential oils vs. massage.
Despite widespread use in over-the-counter agents and vapors, there is not enough scientific evidence to recommend use of eucalyptus oil as a decongestant-expectorant (by mouth or inhaled form).
There is not enough scientific evidence to recommend for or against the use of aromatherapy in patients with mild depression.
Abdominal aromatherapy massage with a combination of essential oils may reduce the intensity of menstrual cramps in women with dysmenorrhea. More research is needed in this area to identify the most effective essential oils.
Preliminary research reports reduced itching in dialysis patients receiving aromatherapy massage. Further research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Massage and skin care with and without aromatherapy improved relief and wellbeing in breast cancer patients. More study is needed in this area.
There is not enough scientific evidence to recommend for or against the use of aromatherapy in patients with post-surgery nausea.
It has been suggested that aromatherapy massage may reduce abdominal obesity or appetite. Additional evidence is needed before a clear conclusion can be reached.
Early research on the use of essential oils in bath water or soap suggests limited or no benefit for post-partum perineal discomfort. More studies are needed before conclusions can be reached about this application of essential oils.
Aromatherapy is popularly used to improve mood. A preliminary study found that aromatherapy in first-time mothers had improved moods after aromatherapy. Higher quality research is needed in this area.
Early research suggests that pre-mature newborns with sleep apnea may benefit from aromatherapy. However, more data are needed before definitive recommendations can be made.
Early research suggests that lavender may have general benefits for sleep quality and specific benefits for insomnia.
There is not enough scientific evidence to recommend for or against the use of aromatherapy in recovering stroke patients.
Early research suggests that aromatherapy may contribute to reduced pain intensity during dressing changes in wound care. More study is needed in this area.

Tradition / Theory
The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Acne, addiction, allergies, Alzheimer's disease, antibacterial, anticonvulsant, antifungal, antiviral, asthma, autonomic dysfunction, back pain, bereavement/grief, bladder infections, boils, bronchitis, burns, chronic bronchitis (prevention and treatment), chronic pain, circulation, cognitive performance enhancement, common cold, confidence boosting, coping skills, digestion disorders, exercise recovery, exhaustion, fever, gas, Guillian-Barre syndrome (symptom relief), headache, high blood pressure, hormonal disorders, immune system stimulant, impatience, impotence, improving circulation, indigestion, infections (intravenous/Hickman line), inflammation, insect bites, irregular heartbeat, irritability, joint pain, labor pain, laryngitis, liver disorders, loss of appetite, maternal comfort during labor, memory enhancement, menstrual cramps, motion sickness, mucositis, muscle pain, nausea, nerve pain, pain, palliative care, panic attacks, pimples, prevention of respiratory tract infections, psoriasis, psychosomatic illness, reducing swelling after injuries, relieving menstrual symptoms, restlessness, rheumatic disorders, seizure disorder, sexually transmitted diseases, skin infections, skin rash in bone marrow transplant patients (engraftment syndrome rash), smoking withdrawal symptoms, spasms, sprains and strains, stimulation of digestion, stomach complaints, sunburn, study performance (math tasks), swelling, tendonitis, vaginitis, yeast infections.
Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.
Skin rash (dermatitis) from direct contact with various essential oils has been reported in humans, and skin irritation can develop with regular use. Peppermint and eucalyptus oils may burn the skin if applied at full strength. With the possible exception of lavender, essential oils should be diluted with a base oil before use to avoid skin irritation. Severe phototoxicity/photosensitivity (skin sensitivity to light) may occur, particularly with oil of bergamot. Vapors from aromatherapy may irritate the eyes, and patients are advised to keep their eyes closed while inhaling aromatic vapors.
Allergy may occur with use of essential oils, and may be due to contamination, or to constituents of the herb(s) from which the oil is derived. In cases of suspected skin allergy, some aromatherapists will place a single drop of oil on the skin to see if a reaction occurs over 24 hours. Individuals who have difficulty breathing with the use of aromatherapy should seek medical attention before attempting aromatherapy again.
Oils applied to the skin or inhaled through the nose and mouth can be absorbed into the body and can have systemic effects. There are reports of agitation, drowsiness, nausea, and headache with the use of aromatherapy. Some oils are thought to have toxic effects on the brain, liver and kidney, or to increase the risk of cancer with long-term use. Aromatherapies that may increase sedation or drowsiness, such as lavender or chamomile, may add to the effects of drugs, herbs, or supplements that also cause fatigue or sedation. Caution is advised in people who are driving or operating heavy machinery.
Essential oils may be toxic if taken by mouth, and should not be swallowed. Fragrances may contain unknown and potentially toxic contaminants. There are reports that lead emission may occur from the burning wick of aromatherapy candles, although long-term health effects are not clear.
Based on human use, sage, rosemary, and juniper oils may cause the uterus to contract when taken in large amounts. Due to these reports, and lack of reliable safety data, the use of these oils is discouraged during pregnancy.
Infants and young children may be especially sensitive to the effects and side effects of essential oils. Peppermint oil is not recommended in children under the age of 30 months. It is suggested to consult a qualified healthcare professional before using aromatherapy in children.

I am captivated by 'The Secret Lives of Fruits and Vegetables', a recent still life series by photographer Maciek Jasik. The thick exteriors of produce are punctured, allowing vibrant smoke to spill out and billow into mysterious clouds of colour. The juxtaposition of hue is beautiful and each photograph creates a surreal, magical little world where one can truly believe that an eggplant or a carnival squash has a secret life beyond the grocery store bin.
As Maciek puts it, "until only very recently, each held its own mystique, mythology, symbolism and connection to the culture and afterlife… this series aims to reintroduce these mystical, invisible qualities to fruits and vegetables that have been lost amidst the clamor of nutritional statistics." I don't think I will ever look at produce the same way again (while remaining forever hopeful a little turquoise mist may appear during cooking prep…)

Anderson Silva says he never seriously considered retirement after his gruesome leg injury, even though his family hoped he was finished with mixed martial arts.
The former UFC middleweight champion has agreed to fight Nick Diaz at UFC 183 on Jan. 31 in Las Vegas.
The 39-year-old Silva has a titanium rod in his left leg. He broke his shin when middleweight champion Chris Weidman blocked a kick during their rematch in December.
Silva (33-6) has been training for several weeks but says his leg isn't at full strength. He thinks he'll have plenty of time to get ready for Diaz (26-9), another popular MMA veteran coming off a long layoff.

September 8, 2011 – According to news sources, the U.S. Coast Guard, reported that they, the Canadian Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Halifax, a Canadian Forces CC-130 Hercules and two merchant vessels worked together to rescue four French sailors more than 1,400 miles east-northeast of Provincetown.
The 600-foot tanker Unique Sunshine, an Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue System (AMVER) member, and the 250-foot oil rig tender Maersk Chancellor rescued the sailors after their boat, the 36-foot red-hulled sailboat Roule Ta Bille, capsized and the mast broke.
The sailboat was righted, but could not make its way into port.
April 23, 2011 - According to news sources, rescue patrols from the National Forestry Corporation found alive two hikers that had been missing in the mountainside of the Quetrupillán Volcano, in the La Araucanía Region.
According to officials from the organization, the Italian Analissa Lombardo and the Czech Citizen identified as Philip Kunge were found in the Huililco sector, in the Villarrica National Park, with the onset of hypothermia. As a result of this, they were transferred to the San Francisco Hospital of Pucón so that medical personnel could check their health conditions.
The visitors found themselves lost from Thursday night when the Italian activated her emergency satellite device, communicating with the Control Center in Texas, United States, from where they referred the information on to the Chilean Navy, who extended the information on to the National Emergency Office.
On Sunday, May 15th 2011, the GEOS International Emergency Rescue Coordination Center (IERCC) received an SOS notification from a SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger. The location coordinates provided were that of a remote avalanche-prone region in Washington State's Northern Cascade mountain range. The registered owner of the SPOT Messenger is Dan Anderson, a former Marine, a retired Army Special Forces Soldier (Green Beret) war veteran and a Washington State Trooper.
The IERCC contacted the Washington State OEM (Office of Emergency Management) providing the location coordinates and Mr. Anderson's registered profile information. An immediate search and rescue was dispatched.
Days earlier, the off-duty Mr. Anderson embarked on a planned crossing of the rugged Cascades. An experienced outdoorsman, he had decided to complete the crossing solo by snowshoe.
Anderson headed towards Holden Village near the north end of Lake Chelan. As he was setting up camp on Sunday night near a mountain glacier above 5,000' elevation, Anderson realized that he had lost his all-season tent during an earlier fall. A combination of heavy rain and snow left Anderson cold, wet and without proper shelter.
December 14, 2010 - At 0556 GMT the GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) received a SOS alert from a SPOT device. The coordinates showed the unit to be located 393 Nautical Miles (NM) northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico and 475NM southeast of Hamilton, Bermuda.
On Friday, February 18, 2011, the GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) received a 911/SOS alert from a SPOT device in Nevada. IERCC personnel contacted local emergency services that responded to the location of the incident. Once on scene, emergency personnel worked to extricate one individual that had become trapped under heavy machinery. After being freed, the injured party was taken, via helicopter, to a nearby hospital.

Or to put it another way, the only way to prove the existence of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas is to become one yourself. The differences between them and other beings will then become clear, as will any pure landsand past-life memories. If you believe in eternal before-birth/after-death nonexistence, then you can see the sense in which you have nothing to lose by a) entertaining the possibility that the foundations of your own being are amenable to such positive change, and b) by putting the methods normally used to bring about such change into practice. Further, I understand the beings and mental powers involved are not just such-and-such by 'belief'.Seishin wrote:Buddhism is a transformative religion and it starts on the inside, so no-one can give you proof, only you can find out for yourself. The only difference between Buddhism and Christianity is that Buddhism believes transformation comes from within, and Christianity believes it comes from God. If you believe in yourself then you have the ability to change.
Don't forget Buddhism is arguably just as nihilistic as neuroscience when it comes to 'ultimate substances' like God or Self. To boot, the number of realms and 'siddhis' in Buddhism are irrelevant to its goal of enlightenment.

Twenty-Two Years After Pioneering the Small Batch Bourbon Category, the World's #1 Selling Super Premium Bourbon Highlights Its History of Big, Full Flavor on TV
CLERMONT, KY--(Marketwired - Apr 21, 2014) - Knob Creek® Bourbon, the World's #1 Selling Super Premium Bourbon, debuts its first-ever television commercial today. The new advertisement, which will air nationally throughout the year, highlights the big, full flavor of Knob Creek, as well as the brand's long-time dedication to crafting quality, pre-prohibition bourbon. The campaign, titled "Bookerisms," features the brand's creator and original steward, Booker Noe, a charismatic sixth-generation master distiller who represented the authenticity and craftsmanship of Knob Creek. Noe was integral in the world of bourbon, having pioneered The Small Batch Bourbon Collection®.
The Knob Creek® portfolio, which in addition to their original Bourbon also features Knob Creek® Rye, Knob Creek® Single Barrel Reserve and the new Knob Creek® Smoked Maple, has grown 20 percent in the past year, outpacing the overall bourbon category which has seen a 14 percent increase in the same period*. Riding this strong momentum, Knob Creek aims to reach new consumers and current fans through its television commercial while deploying a 300 percent increase in media investment.
"While super premium bourbons have become more popular in recent years, Knob Creek has always been the category leader -- even without the use of television advertising," said Rob Nelson, Senior Brand Manager of Small Batch Bourbons at Beam Inc. "As we continue to grow this authentic, legendary bourbon brand, we've decided the time is right to take things up a notch and allow Knob Creek to reach new audiences on TV."
The new advertisement, part of a broader brand campaign that also spans digital media and retail activation, takes on a non-traditional, animated format and focuses on the product's age, flavor, trusted quality and true bourbon heritage, highlighting a memorable quote from Noe: "If you're not completely satisfied with the big, full flavor of our bourbon, just send back the unused portion and we'll drink it for you."
"More than 20 years ago, dad set out to distill a pre-prohibition style bourbon with big, full flavor, not knowing it would become the World's #1 Selling Super Premium Bourbon," said Fred Noe, seventh-generation Beam Master Distiller, 2013 Bourbon Hall of Fame Inductee and Booker Noe's son. "He would be proud to see the growth of his brand and watch his words inspire TV viewers as they've done for bourbon drinkers for decades."
Knob Creek worked with Chicago-based marketing and advertising agency Walton Isaacson to develop the concept and bi-coastal digital production and creative design studio Brand New School to bring the advertisement to life.
Knob Creek's first-ever television advertisement premieres nationally on television networks such as AMC, FX, TBS and NBC Sports, as well as digitally on the AOL, Microsoft, Scripps and NBC family of websites.

John Milton's drama, Comus, performed
John Milton's masque, Comus, is performed for the Earl of Bridgewater, who had been named lord president of Wales and the Marches. The drama was the 25-year-old Milton's first stab at the themes of the struggle between good and evil, which he explored in his masterpiece Paradise Lost.
The indulged son of a prosperous London businessman, Milton excelled at languages in grammar school and at Christ's College, Cambridge, where he took a bachelor's degree and then a master's. He decided to continue his education on his own, spending six years reading every major work of literature in several languages. He published Comus in 1637, several years after its first performance. The same year, he published an elegy for a college classmate, Lycidas. In 1638, he went abroad to continue his studies.
In 1642, Milton married 17-year-old Mary Powell, but she left him a few weeks later. Milton wrote a series of pamphlets arguing for the legalization of divorce based on incompatibility. The idea, however mild it seems today, was scandalous at the time, and Milton experienced a vehement backlash.
Milton's wife returned to him in 1645, and the pair had three daughters. However, he continued to spout controversial views. He supported the execution of Charles I, he railed against the control of the church by bishops, and he upheld the institution of Cromwell's Commonwealth, of which he became secretary of foreign languages.
In 1651, he lost his sight but fulfilled his government duties with the help of assistants, including poet Andrew Marvell. His wife died the following year. He remarried in 1656, but his second wife died in childbirth. Four years later, the Commonwealth was overthrown, and Milton went to jail. The blind man lost his position and property, but was saved from a lifetime in prison by the intervention of loyal friends.
Milton remarried in 1663. Blind, impoverished, and jobless, he began to dictate his poem Paradise Lost to his family. When the poem was ready for publication, he sold it for 10 pounds. Once printed, the poem was immediately hailed as a masterpiece of the English language. In 1671, he wrote Paradise Regained, followed by Samson Agonistes. He died in 1674.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented an updated budget proposal for the coming fiscal year on Thursday with largely cosmetic changes before the budget goes to the city's legislature for debate.
Bloomberg presented the adjusted figures for fiscal year 2013-14 as a last update to his $70 billion budget presented in January. The city's current fiscal year ends on June 30.
Bloomberg said better-than-expected tax revenue in the current fiscal year would pull some tax revenue forward from next year. The city collected an additional $800 million in the current fiscal year after taxpayers sold assets at the end of the 2012 calendar year to avoid higher federal taxes.
In total, the city expects $1.1 billion in extra revenues this year when $222 million netted in corporate tax audits is included.
"It sounds good but it really is more bookkeeping," Bloomberg told a press conference at City Hall. "We lowered tax revenues for fiscal '14 because of that."
The city now expects $462 million less revenue in fiscal 2014, $194 million of which is due to a lower tax revenue forecast.
"Despite the one-time increase in tax revenues this year, this does not substantially change the city's forecasted revenue base," the city council speaker, Christine Quinn, and Domenic Recchia, chairman of the Finance Committee, said in a joint statement.
"The city's overall fiscal outlook continues to reflect the solid and steady improvements in the city economy that we anticipated in the winter," they said.
Quinn is planning to run to succeed Bloomberg as mayor later this year. Bloomberg is now in the last year of his third term as mayor and cannot seek re-election due to term limits.
The city-funded portion of the $69.8 billion budget is $50.2 billion. Controllable agency expenses are flat at about $22.8 billion in the next fiscal year, while "uncontrollable expenses," which include mandated pensions and other benefits, will rise 7.6 percent, or $1.7 billion, to $23.4 billion.
New York has also cut by half its estimate for revenue from the sale of taxi medallions to $300 million in the coming fiscal year.
The city is awaiting a decision by the New York Court of Appeals concerning a lawsuit over whether the sale can proceed.
The city's comptroller, John Liu, criticized the Bloomberg administration for including any revenue from the sale of the medallions while the dispute is ongoing.
"The mayor's executive budget for FY 2014 contains some major unwarranted assumptions that risk opening yawning gaps," Liu said in a statement.
"It assumes that the city will reap $1.5 billion over four years from a taxi medallion sale that for the foreseeable future is tied up in court," said Liu, who is also a candidate for mayor.
Other changes from the January projection include a $327 million increase in projected agency expenses. Total expenses increased by $472 million compared to January's projection.
