Babette Mangolte is a visual artist, thinker, filmmaker and photographer born in France and based in the United States for more than 40 years. Her work is profoundly marked by the principle of collaboration, which led her to bring together an archive of films, videos and photographs that document works of dance, performance and experimental theater of the New York scene (specifically what is called the Downtown Scene) by artists such as Trisha Brown, Yvonne Rainer and Marina Abramovic. The exhibition that can be seen in this gallery is the artists first presentation in Brazil and features works made over the last four decades, in a true delving into her universe and thought. Mangoltes oeuvre involves a series of recurrent questions that revitalize the idea of the archive: the relation with the model, the dialectics between photographing and seeing, the theatricality in the composition and the framing. The work that articulates this concept in the most radical way is Touching III, a series of tables on which the artist arranges photographic enlargements of different sizes, offering this body of images to the public, for them to reconfigure the order how they wish, juxtaposing different images and formats and creating their own compositions thus experiencing the position of co-creator of the work. In this version of the work, shown for the first time at Inhotim, the selection of the images includes plays written for the experimental theater by Stuart Sherman and Richard Foreman.

At the start of a business, manual document filing can be quick easy and necessary. However, as your business grows manual filing can become a very cumbersome practice. In a busy business world it is important that you can file, find, and store documents in a quick and effective way. There are more efficient ways in today's growing technological world that can help keep your organized with a higher productivity level. Here are some disadvantages of manual document filing processes.
Takes Up a Lot of Space
The biggest downfall to manual document filing is the amount of space it can take up. While at first your business will be small enough that it's not a huge deal, once you start growing you are going to want to find a new way to store files. Otherwise you might find yourself taking up rooms just to fit the files in. This also means you have to go out of your way to hunt down a file or a client. This is just one big headache you don't need. It interrupts your productivity levels.
Prone to Damage and Being Misplaced
Manual document filing means you are placing faith in the people handling the files. There are so many ways they can be damaged, lost, or misplaced. A fire or natural disaster could mean the loss of all your clients' important information. You will have to start over at square one getting the information back. It can also lead you to losing clients who don't appreciate your mishandling of their information.
Hard to Make Changes
When you are working with paper documents it is much harder to make changes. Every time you want to make a change you will have to make a copy, so you don't destroy the original with any edits or comments you might add. This means the editing process is more time consuming than if you were working with digital copies.
Access Time
Manual document filing is very time consuming. Not only do you have to organize and store the files, hunting down the information when it is need can take time. It can take anywhere from minutes to hours to hunt down a file, depending on how well your organization is. This can cause annoyance for clients as well as for employees. Their productivity is lowered by having to spend excessive time dealing with a paper filing system.
Lack of Security
Paper document filing can be less secure than electronic filing systems. Misplaced documents can easily be placed in the wrong hands. Clients expect their information to be secure in your hands. If you can't keep this safe, you are at risk for losing them. A cabinet filled with files is way easier to access than a computer which requires a password and credentials to get into.
Higher Cost
When you use paper documents your costs are going to be higher because you are paying for ink and paper. Your office supply bill will be higher if you are using a manual document filing process. While you might think this is insignificant, overtime it's a lot of money that can be used in better ways.
While manual document filing can be useful for smaller businesses, once your business has grown it can be detrimental to your growth. It can lower productivity and create a hassle for your employees and your clients. Not only are your documents at risk for harm, but they have the potential to be lost and damage in a natural disaster. All your paper files are doing is taking up valuable space as well as time.

Independent Retailers Week: From Online to In-Person: Advice from Fedwell Pet Foods CEO on Opening Up Your Own Shop./
July 16-22 marks Independent Retailer Week! Here, the WIN Lab has collaborated with four savvy entrepreneurs to get their advice on everything from opening up shop to helping their retail partners sell. Because finding the right retailer(s) can sometimes feel like dating: exciting, exhausting, misleading but is also worth the work and the wait. Click here to see the four-part series.
In 2010, when Lagasse returned from her Peace Corps service in Togo, she brought Fenway, her African dog home with her. Once back in America, Fenway became ill on the traditional American dog food diet. She took classes, learned how to cook for him, and nursed him back to health. She founded Fedwell based on the recipes that healed her dog and keeps him healthy.
Fedwell makes the best healthy natural dog food on the planet. Every bag of Fedwell is based on home-cooking principles and contains wholesome, balanced ingredients that are gently baked for optimal nutrition and flavor. You won't find anything on their labels that you couldn't find in your own kitchen, and that's just the way they like it.
Now, Lagasse is moving beyond e-commerce and opening up her own storefront in Somerville, MA. Read below to learn about her dos and don'ts when moving from e-commerce to in-person.
"Test everything, measure everything, and adjust often!"
Q. Tell us a bit about your company and initial e-commerce launch.
I launched my first Fedwell dog food product in April 2014 in local stores and online, simultaneously.
Q. What is your biggest tactical advice for e-commerce startups as they launch?
Test everything, measure everything, and adjust often! With e-commerce it's especially important to understand where your customers are coming from and how much it costs to acquire them.
Q. At what point did you decide to start a retail store?
I've been working on the concept and towards the launch of the first Petwell Supply for about a year now. My Fedwell Pet Foods products have been sold in other specialty pet stores and online for four years, and although a healthy diet is a terrific foundation for pets, I found that the concerns of my customers were not being fully addressed. In speaking with my customers over the past several years it became apparent that every pet suffered from specific ailments, from anxiety to kidney disease. While a high-quality diet can help address these issues, I wanted to open a store to further support pet ailments through holistic remedies and services like herbs, flower essences, and acupuncture.
"Throughout the process of build-out I have stayed very true to my goals and personal aesthetic, being very mindful not to fall into the trap of doing what every body else is doing."
Q. What was the strategy behind your retail location?
Commercial real estate in the area is pretty tight, and even tighter in the areas I was looking at-- Somerville and Cambridge. I applied for 4 other spaces before getting the one I'm in now. From a community and cultural standpoint, Somerville/Cambridge feels like the right demographic for me. I also consulted heat maps of dog ownership in the area to find hot spots of dog activity! At the end of the day though, in a competitive real estate market, there were very limited options.
Q. What would you tell other entrepreneurs to do before they open up a storefront?
Anything you can do to test your retail concept ahead of time is helpful. Whether you can run a pop-up store or build momentum through local events, you will be able to collect data that informs a storefront strategy.
Q. Anything else you think other entrepreneurs should know?
I think it's really important to let your personal creativity and interests shine in the store to stand out and feel genuine. Throughout the process of build-out I have stayed very true to my goals and personal aesthetic, being very mindful not to fall into the trap of doing what every body else is doing. These differences will not only create a better, more unique experience for our customers, but it's also more fun for me. I get to decorate in my own style (I'm currently building a moss wall!) and get to plan classes and events I would truly want to go to even if it wasn't my store

Antimatter spacecraft – one of the latest scientific and technological inventions, first appeared in Williamson's "antimatter spaceship," a book, it is first in the 1942-1943 period in the "Amazing Stories" serial. U.S. spacecraft to study antimatter positrons as fuel, six weeks can be reached Mars. Positron fuel just to tens of milligrams, twice as fast as the speed of the spacecraft than nuclear power.
NASA Institute for Advanced concepts (NIAC) is funding a research group, which is working spacecraft to study antimatter as a power. Fuel weight is lighter than sugar. Science fiction, most autonomous starships use antimatter as fuel, because antimatter is the most promising fuel. To put a man on Mars, would require thousands of tons of chemical fuel, but if antimatter as fuel, then just tens of milligrams of antimatter (a milligram is about one thousandth of the weight of sugar) can help mankind to achieve the dream of Mars on board, and only six weeks.

I confess, I'm a Hop Head. It's hard not to be a hop head here in Portland. As a matter of fact, Hali and I fell in love with Portland in 1990 and decided then to move to Beervana.
Our infatuation with this town started at Bridgeport Brewing, the Granddaddy of all breweries. Sitting out on the loading dock with our dog, sipping their flagship IPA, being wooed by brewers and their tours, all lead up to our marriage to this "micro" city. Again, nearly impossible not to love a town that boasts of more microbreweries than any other.
So, since my dog wouldn't stand for pet chickens, I planted hops. Very low maintenance, hops grow from a tuber root, and mature with age(like my dog, Carlos). Just get a sunny southwest spot in the yard, and like Jack-in-the Beanstalk, watch it grow. In early summer you can actually see it grow inches in a day. All while sippin' an IPA.
So mid August rolls around and there are those lovely hop cones. Pluck them off at the height of ripeness-like right NOW! Find another local hop head, probably a neighbor, to collaborate with your very own brew. Come up with some catchy name like, Hop on Pope, and pretty soon you'll be the talk of the town. Or at the very least, the talk of the block.

Brandon + Sarah Formals | Logan, Utah Wedding Photographer
Brandon & Sarah have a love story that already spans more than a decade. Sarahs family moved to Cache Valley just before she started fourth grade. There was a boy in her class that chased her and she thought he was crazy and spent the year glaring at him. Little did she know that after the first day of school, that boy went home and told his mom that the new girl in school was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and that she looked like an angel! That boy was Brandon... and I'm telling you guys, Brandon still feels this way about Sarah today! The way he looks at her, the way he speaks about her and how he lights up when she's around, its something to see! And the admiration is mutual! They both had smiles on their faces THE WHOLE TIME we were shooting! I really love getting to work with couples who bring out the best in each other, and that is definitely these two.
We met at the Logan, Utah LDS Temple to start their shoot and to do a first look! Brandon was SO excited to see Sarah and he was absolutely beaming when he finally got to see her! Brandons mom commented that even if she had been wearing a burlap sack he would have still thought she was beautiful! As we got in the car to head to Hyrum Dam for the second part of their shoot my trusty photo shoot pants gave out on me! I have had these pants for over 4 years and I like to wear them to shoots because I can get a little dirty as I lay or kneel on the ground for different angles. Well, as I was getting in my car the seam of my pants ripped ALL THE WAY from the top of my bum down to the bottom. Luckily I had my husbands jacket in my car which I wrapped around my waist. I then obviously had to explain to Brandon and Sarah and their crew why I was now wearing a large jacket around my waist and they all thought it was pretty funny, but then when I would squat down to get another angle, my pants would very loudly rip a little more and it got the best laughs out of Brandon... so over all I would say it was worth it!

Disciplines: image processing
Laboratory: CREATIS CNRS 5220, INSERM U1206 (head O. Beuf, team MOTIVATE)
Doctoral school: Interdisciplinary Doctoral program in health-sciences (EDISS) - ED 205
Scientific background and rationale: The acute respiratory-distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening state of the lungs (mortality 40-50%) characterized by alveolar collapse, edema, and parenchymal inflammation. During treatment, patients are oxygenated by mechanical ventilation, which may aggravate their state if the settings are not carefully customized. CT images give access to air ratio in tissues, but existing methods use manual lung segmentation and don't account for lung motion. Automated methods used in other diseases are unable to cope with large opacities and with heterogeneous density changesobserved in ARDS.
Aim: Develop and validate automated fast algorithms and smart software tools to assess the patient's response to ventilation and assist physician's decision based on CT images. Namely, the proposed methods should accurately quantify stress, strain and recruitment (reopening of collapsed alveoli), and identify the regions where either over-distension or recruitment occur.
Description of the project methodology: The project will start from methods developed by the team within a study on an animal model of ARDS and based on image registration. The methods will be adapted to a smaller number of images and lower signal-to-noise ratio due to lower dose in patients. To propose faster and more accurate algorithms, the use of atlases and of machine learning, combined with a-priori anatomical and biomechanical knowledge will be explored. The optimized algorithms will be integrated in a graphical interface permitting their execution with minimal user interaction. Methodology for algorithm validation will be proposed and used to assess the performance of the developed methods. For this purpose, anonymized CT-scans from several centers will be collected into a database within a study coordinated by the intensive-care unit of the Croix-Rousse hospital in Lyon.
Expected results: Validated algorithms capable of: delineating the lungs in 3D CT-images, following the tissue displacements, quantifying the global and local changes in aeration and in mechanical behavior (recruitment, strain, stress, over-distension…) – all this in presence of large opacities changing shape and size between different ventilation conditions, and within a short time compatible with intensive-care requirements (less than one hour). User-friendly software integrating these algorithms within a smart interactive graphical interface.
Perspectives: Definition of image-based criteria permitting the best patient-specific choice of the ventilation settings. Definition of an optimal imaging protocol, as a trade-off between minimal irradiation and maximum information for the therapeutic decision. Improvement of survival.
Skills required: signal andimage processing, image segmentation, image registration, applied mathematics, programming (C++, Matlab), computer graphics

Death MarchApril 9, 2018 at 11:32 pm | Posted in God's race | 2 Comments
By Juel A. Fitzgerald
It was a small dream conjured up five years earlier. It was discarded as too risky to do alone. With feet in gortex hiking boots and gaiters, head and neck shielded by special head-gear, wicking long sleeves and pants protected arms and legs, CamelBak full of water, food and gear and hiking sticks strapped to CamelBak, one foot in front of the other traversed the 26.2 miles of the Bataan Death March with three friends on the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
This marathon was different from the five done before. We were reminded frequently, "it's more than a marathon – it's a memorial." In April 1942, it is estimated that about 75,000 American and Filipino troops on the Bataan Peninsula were marched by the Japanese 65 miles to prison camps. Thousands died from heat, beatings, starvation, disease, and bayonets. This short 26.2-mile march was a memorial for that event. Three survivors attended the opening ceremony of the race.
Upon arriving for this endeavor in the desert, it was learned that there was no participant's medal. Medals were for first and second place finishers in each category. Dog tags were our medals. What? Race registration, air fare, equipment, time spent in training were expended for a marathon with no medal? It took a few minutes of prayer for me to wrap my head around what I had walked into. God helped me to see, if I had been in the original Bataan would I have wanted a medal for surviving when others had not? Praises to God for surviving was more than enough! Same for this memorial march – praises to God for surviving was more than enough!
Three days were spent in acclimation to the altitude and dry heat. The first and second days were in the high 80's, and third day in high 70's. I loved every bit of that hot dry heat. A short 2.49-mile hike in the mountains with an elevation gain of 364.1 to 5,927 feet above sea level was higher than the highest point on the Bataan. During the climb my lungs fought for breath harder than usual. I wondered, is it going to be like this on the march? Hiking back down was refreshing.
The march started at 7 a.m. However, our category was released a little after 8 a.m. The march started in 57-degree temperatures. It ended somewhere in the mid/upper 70's. With gaiters in my CamelBak, I hoped I didn't need them. I felt like I was overdressed as it was with all that I had trained in. However, after seeing others in what they had on, I wondered if maybe I should have my gaiters on at the start. I knew the first few miles were on asphalt so, gaiters could wait if I really needed them. It didn't take long to decide to put them on. Walking off the pavement into the sand, dirt and rock meant particles flew everywhere and down into shoes or boots. Soon after three miles, my boots were emptied of brown matter and gaiters covered tops of boots. No more ground stuff was getting in.
Over 8,300 signed up for this march. None of us were ever alone. No matter where we were in the pack, there were marchers everywhere, walking, resting, drinking, eating, laughing, talking, singing, dancing/marching to music, moaning, gasping, sweating, changing socks, repairing damaged feet and being carted off in dune buggies. Only a small few ran the entire race. It was a march, not a run.
God gave me three to march with. The fastest one walked away into the river of humanity and wasn't seen until the end. The other two, I walked 18 miles with. On inclines a distance would always grow between us, because I love climbing hills. Despite the distance, we were always in eye sight. I would wait at the top of the long ascents and take advantage of the potty and water breaks. Through those 18 miles I waited for it to get harder. It was slower and a rougher terrain than I normally do on a marathon, but the distance was the same. The forecasted wind never came. A sand storm would not have been fun. The miles drug on, but the beauty of the mountains, blue sky, poppies, land, scrubs and nature made the march not seem so long.
This was the most supported marathon for me. Besides the water stations and latrines, many of the later water stations also had bananas and oranges. At mile 14 we could buy hamburgers or hot dogs and other assorted salty snacks. In addition to my peanuts, two peanut butter sandwiches, water and Nuun water, these were added nourishment that kept me moving. A minister once told me the second half of my races were faster than my first half. Normally that is the case, not sure if that would happen this time.
At mile 18, I lost my two companions. I waited at the top of a particularly long up and down roller coaster incline. I waited. I waited. Did they pass me while I was in the latrine? How would I know? I waited. I had to move on alone with God. I had no idea where they were. I knew one had been treated once for blisters and they were getting worse with each mile. Had either or both been picked up and taken to the finish line? I prayed to God, "alone with you, let's finish this race". All these miles my walking sticks remained strapped on my pack. I started to wonder if they would get used at all. There didn't seem to be a need to use them. I felt great! So different, then I had planned – a dangerous hot walk in the desert, it was not. I wondered, if when, I would struggle. It was taking longer but enjoyable. Now alone, I had no one to talk to through the miles, except God and the occasional other marchers for a minute or two.
At Mile 22, I posted on Facebook that God and I walked alone. At that point, I felt a certain kind of way that I can't explain. I wasn't quite right, but in an unusual way. I went into the latrine. Every bodily waste in my body that wanted to come out, came out. Wow! What the heck? Bent over I rested. Then something said – "time for the sticks". It was difficult to release them from the pack, but they came off. I was beat! My CamelBak of water was empty. One of my Nuun bottles was empty and the other was half full. Four miles, I needed more liquids in my pack to finish. I had passed the water station to get to the latrine which was maybe 500 feet in the wrong direction. I had to walk back to the water station before moving on. Both bottles were refilled and Nuun added.
As I looked towards those last four miles with sticks in hand, something crazy happened. A burst of energy filled my entire body. Oh my gosh! Somebody must be out there praying – exhaustion was gone! Sticks, legs and arms went into motion. Passing people and getting this done was what this was now all about. I prayed for my three partners out there to be ok. I knew from texts that my fastest partner was a constant two miles ahead of me. My other two partners I hadn't heard from. I prayed for their safety. On and on my sticks, legs and arms sped. This was crazy! I didn't stop, only grabbed water and bathroom break, as I sped past the last water station. I didn't even drink the Nuun water in my pack. The adrenaline was so high, that stopping was not an option. I was planning to change socks a second time, but I had long past that stop. Getting to that finish line was all that matter now! I felt like a roadrunner. During these last four miles, others were in slow motion struggling to get done. Where was that finish line? It seemed to take forever! Then I saw pavement in the distance. Pavement marked the start of the end! When my boot hit that pavement, I grabbed both sticks and slapped them into my right hand and marched the rest of the way without them. Someone cried out a cheer for me. I smiled, and that same person cheered something positive about me smiling in those last minutes. With eyes fixed on the finish line and tears trying to come, I thought, "oh my gosh, I am about to finish another marathon! Thank you, Jesus!"
All that indoor training and pain had proven to be so worth it! I suffered much in the training, boredom, blisters, had to buy new hiking boots because of the blisters the other boots did to my feet, bought new hiking socks, bought gaiters, special protective head-gear, trained using sticks that were so awkward to use, trained alone, trained with friends; I was never so glad to be done with training as I was for this race. With God, it all worked out for the best in the race, no blisters, no injuries, no heat exhaustion, no sun burns, just the normal soreness after a race because of torn muscles. With only two days of soreness, my body was back to normal like I had never walked 26.2. If it weren't for pictures I might think I dreamed that march. No medal, just dog tags among my other marathon medals.
I finished in 9 hours and 17 minutes. My fastest partner finished in 8 hours and 29 minutes. My other two partners finished in 9 hours and 50 minutes. God revealed to me and my two walking partners that God needed us to be alone with him. I had to be apart from them while they both memorialized a dad/grandfather who had died less than a year before the race and a step grandfather who had died in the Bataan. That special moment in the desert without me there was meant for them to endure through together as mother and daughter.
A walk in the desert with God, a time for praises and thanks for the journey not normally taken. A time to appreciate what He put me through to get me here. A time to reflect on what it truly means to walk with Him every day as I step one step closer to my place by his side in heaven.
"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize." I Corinthians 9:24-27.

There was no holiday miracle in the Bronx's Little Italy Saturday as vagrants continued to intimidate families and disrupt businesses in and around the park where Christmas has been canceled.
With cops nowhere to be seen, four bums sipped King Cobra malt liquor and whiskey while splayed out on benches in the once-family-friendly Ciccarone Park, only a day after The Post reported the annual Christmas tree lighting had to be scrapped because of a soaring panhandler population.
"It's not good, but I can't do too much about it," said Jawhar Clark, 38, of the hobos hanging out near the playground where his 7-year-old daughter played.
Nearby, three homeless women divvied up garbage bags stuffed with bottles, while 55-year-old chain-smoking vagrant Francisco Leql ducked behind bushes to take swigs of whiskey.
While Francisco claimed he had never been to the park on Arthur Avenue in Belmont before Saturday, a local senior said otherwise.
"He is there every day, especially in the summer. He has been there almost two years now. When they close the park he hides so they don't see him. He sleeps like a dog on the bench," the retiree told The Post.
Josephine Florio, 38, who works at the local pastry shop De Lillo, was concerned that the number of cops patrolling the area has dwindled in recent months.
"It's ridiculous that the police presence here is not what it used to be," she said. "It's disappointing. If people don't feel safe and secure shopping and eating here, they aren't going to come back," Florio said.
Mario Navarette, a manager of Anne and Tony's Restaurant, griped that the increase in panhandlers will negatively affect business over the holiday season.
"It's going to affect business during Christmas. We have a budget, and anything that gets in your way can throw you off," he said.
The Business Improvement District said the $15,000 cost of securing the tree-lighting event was prohibitive.

This was not always a sentence I was comfortable saying - I had a perm right after I watched Dirty Dancing in 1987 and it took me twenty years to become happy with my hair again.
I now offset bad hair days against productivity (stay with me, this isn't a technical post) and realised that I should head to the salon each 6-8 weeks and consider this my vice, if necessary, to maintain this routine. The days of staring into the mirror, despairing over roots and frizz, because I was:
a) fed up of home-dying my shoulder-length mop, and
b) thought hair salons were expensive, are lonnnnnnnnng gone.
My first grey hairs showed through, my then-hairdresser announced, when I was 17.
Yes, not quite as romantic as Sinatra lyricises in It Was a Very Good Year. Now, I'm friendly with dyes and after many colours, I chose to finally embrace my DNA by working blonde hair and black eyebrows, because:
a) I just don't suit dark hair and
b) wouldn't bleach my Cara Delevignes any more than I would wax my legs every again; Low Pain Threshold (LPT).
My hair, understandably, is a bit dry and a bit thick and a bit unmanageable at times. Currently it's a bit shoulder-length. But I have an amazing Hair Stylist who knows how to wield thinning scissors and does a cracking blow dry which lasts four days (love Dry Shampoo, too, Rosie Green, although I couldn't not wash my hair for two weeks, a la Red magazine; my hat off to you).
So, I dedicate this post to my 6 hair necessities:
1) If you don't yet have a Stylist, find the time to head to your local college or salon on their training nights. Not only will you receive a heavily-reduced cut/colour, you will pick up great tips. From these nights I have:
a) changed my career (from Administrator to Teacher, based on news of course funding) and
b) discovered how to blow a dry which lasts 24 hours: patience is the key. I have a toddler-daughter, my hair patience has been non-existent since 2011.
2) Buy the best electrical appliances you can afford for your hair, whether you are attached to straighteners, tongs or hot style brushes.
3) Invest in one or two good quality brushes to suit your hair shape. Not sure which then make sure you have a good paddle brush if your hair is past jaw-length, and a good round bristle brush for pixie/short dos. A Tangle Teezer will cost you a tenner, and works very well on my wet hair, meeting my LPT standards, although I bought a tangle attack from my local quid shop which is okay. I have a wide-toothed comb which sorts out my knots and John Frieda's Frizz Ease, so until these go out of production I don't yet intend to invest in a Tangle Teezer, but a lot of readers swear by them.
4) You don't have to know hair terminology to find the right style for your face - a salon should offer you a free consultation before your appointment to talk lifestyles and hair maintenance. You can suggest celebrities whose hair you admire, or show pictures, but you don't have to know your feather from your layer, or blunt cut.
5) When you find a Hair Stylist who listens to you, look after them, and hopefully you'll enjoy a long relationship. Sometimes they move on, but a great person will drag you along, too. I have discovered a lot of Plymouth's hidden gems by following mine.
6) If you haven't discovered the Babyliss Big Hair, it will change your life once you do. I can now rough dry my hair so it's about 20% damp (no exact calculations were used in the writing of this post) and then rotate this fabulous brush through my Simba-esque, shoulder length mane, to a perfect, bouncy, gorgeous, light, fat-free 'do, while I
I received no products or money for this post, the views are entirely my own, and you can decide whether to transform your life or not by hearkening to my blog yak.
What hair product do you swear by?

One Direction, the British boy band sensation your 12-year-old niece absolutely adores, recently settled a legal dispute that had elements that might actually be pretty familiar with Los Angeles musicians, artists and other entertainment professionals.
Earlier this year, the group was sued by an American band that also called itself "One Direction." The American band claimed that it had used the name first and that the British group's use of the same name was causing confusion, thereby scaring away fans.
One Direction, which was formed in 2010 on Simon Cowell's British TV show "The X Factor," countersued. Essentially, it claimed that the American One Direction was just trying to extort some money from the British group. After all, it's an appealing target. Its debut album went straight to the top spot on the Billboard charts (a feat other British acts like The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and The Spice Girls did not accomplish) and its ardent fan base of teenage girls has meant millions in music sales, merchandise revenue and concert tickets sold.
Recently, the two bands issued a joint press release saying that the British group will continue to use the name One Direction and the American band will now be known as Uncharted Shores. If there was any money exchanged in reaching this deal, neither side disclosed that fact.
We mention this because any Los Angeles actor, musician or model knows that one's name is a very important extension of brand and a key indicator of one's identity. That's why many people who work in the entertainment industry at least have a talk with an entertainment law attorney about practical, prudent steps they can take to protect their name and, by extension, their image and identity.

I never have a specific answer. I'm working on that. I brought two thermometers with me and a barometer. I have one thermometer inside and one outside. My plan is to pay attention to highs and lows and have some numbers the next time someone asks. Last night, it was 80 degrees with 80 percent humidity in the 'cool room'. My cement house was worse than that.
So I haven't been lying when I tell folks it's hot.
I'm also going to try to find out how many people officially live in this town. The do a census from time to time, but I'm not sure how I can acquire the results. We'll see.

What is a Power Nap? Know Everything About Nap and Power Nap
A power nap is a nap that recharges your body for the day, but doesn't make you so energized that you are unable to sleep at night. Naps are not just for babies or children. They can restore your energy in a matter of 30-40 minutes and make you feel rested and relaxed. Naps can do wonders for people who often feel sleep deprived due to their irregular schedule or because they have irregular sleep patterns. This is especially helpful for people that often feel tired during the day.
From a neurological perspective, naps can help you reset your physiology and increase motor performance. You get a much needed dose of alertness and have a smooth sail through the day. On the other hand when you are sleep deprived, you get easily irritated and it affects your work, relationships and most importantly, your own health.
But napping is not just to make up for lost sleep. They also improve our cognitive abilities, reaction time, short-term memory and our mood.
1. How long to Nap?
Quick Power Naps
How long you nap determines how alert you feel. If you want to take a quick nap, nap for 10-20 minutes. It will give you a rapid dose of alertness and help you tackle activities, like typing or playing the piano, that require motor skills. Short naps of even 10-15 minutes can help you feel alert, mentally sharp and in a better mood right after you wake up. The best part? The benefits of 10-15 minutes of napping stay for a few hours. And you don't feel sluggish as you may do after taking a longer nap. This is because you don't enter the deep sleep state during a quick power nap.
Long Naps
If you want a longer nap, it is best to schedule this after lunch when your physiology changes naturally, your blood sugar goes low and your energy is low as well. If you want to take longer naps, set the timer to 1.5 hours as it is a full sleep cycle. You will have deep sleep for 1 hour and light sleep for the next half an hour. If you nap for lesser time, say 1 hour, it will leave you groggy as you will wake up without completing one full cycle of sleep. The idea is to wake up during your light sleep, not deep sleep.
REM sleep or deep sleep helps you make new neural connections and boosts your creative abilities. So if you have a project that requires significant mental power, it is best to take a long nap of about 90 minutes.
2. What Time is the Best to Take a Nap?
You can take a power nap at any time during the day. But according to research, early to mid-afternoon is the best time to take a nap.
Why? It brings in the most amount of 'energy recharge' as compared to other times of the day. It is also important to not nap late in the day because it will disturb your natural sleep cycle. Try taking a nap between 1 pm to 3 pm because this is the time when rejuvenation happens to the highest levels.
3. Naps or Coffee?
A nap helps you in a similar way as a coffee does - making you alert and giving you instant energy. But both are different in a lot of ways. With coffee your energy rises for a while, then falls down. With a nap, your energy rises, but doesn't fade away abruptly. Coffee also creates dependency and can affect your sleep at night.
When you feel sleep deprived and exhausted, what should you go for - a cup of coffee or your pillow?
Well, if you time it right, a quick power nap can be better than a cup of coffee. This is because coffee comes with a crash that you feel sometime after consuming it.
So how to time your naps? If you can find the time, take a full 90-minute nap that puts you to deep sleep. But more often than not, you won't find that much time. So it is best to time your naps to less than 30 minutes. Research shows that if it goes over 30 minutes, you enter deep sleep and then when you wake up, it leaves you groggy due to sleep inertia.
4. How about a Coffee Nap?
If you really love coffee, why not do both? In fact, many studies conducted at Loughborough University, UK suggest that a 15-minute coffee nap is better than an ordinary brief nap. Now you may be thinking, "what if the coffee doesn't let me sleep for those 15-20 minutes?". The good news is that, coffee naps seem to work better even when you stay half asleep during your power nap.
However, we don't advise coffee naps to people with serious insomnia or mental health issues.
How to Take a Coffee Nap
1. Don't consume any type of caffeine. Drink coffee. You can also drink tea but it contains less caffeine. Don't savour every sip. Drink it fairly quickly so that there is enough time for the coffee to go through your gastrointestinal tract and go inside your bloodstream.
2. Now when you are done with the coffee, set a timer for 20 minutes and go to sleep right away. Don't try to adjust your room or create a perfect environment. If you can make the room dark, kudos! But you should get to sleep immediately after.
3. If you can't sleep, it is completely normal. Stay in that half-asleep stage because it is very rejuvenating too.
4. When the timer starts buzzing, wake up. Feel the new burst of energy and calm in your body. And thank that mug of coffee for keeping you warm!
Keep it Dark
It is important that you sleep in a dark room when napping. If you are napping while travelling, wearing an eye mask can help tremendously. Keep a blanket over you because your body temperature falls when you nap.
It is good if your surroundings are quiet but eventually the outside noise, or lack thereof, is meant to relax you. For example, some people love the ambient sounds of a coffee shop. Some people also find listening to white noise helps them relax and take better naps.
Now that you know how to nap right, get to it. No more sluggish days, no more toll on your physical or mental health. Stay healthy, stay energetic!

Jewelry Design, Inspiration and Ideas: The Value of Keeping a Sketchbook
|A rare example of a "whole" design in my sketchbook.
Inspiration comes from everywhere, and lately I'm inspired by the intricacies of antique ironwork and the colors and textures of weathered wood that I'm seeing when I explore my new state, Louisiana. The land is so flat down here, too–very different than the mountains that I'm used to–and I find myself drawn to the cloud formations that fill the big skies. I've taken hundreds of pictures, but sometimes the sights I see spark ideas in my mind that can't be photographed (or put into words), and it's important to be able to capture those fleeting ideas before they flutter out of memory.
If I can't get to the bench to actually start making something or putting some jewelry components together, I make a sketch. My jewelry sketchbook is tiny on purpose, about the size of a small index card–so that I can keep it in my purse if I want. I also have a set of teeny colored pencils that I keep with it, because sometimes the ideas are color schemes more than design elements.
|Color schemes for my stick-pearl flower brooch. See the finished design here.
I enjoy learning what inspires artists to work their magic, too, and I love being given a rare peek into an artist's sketchbook to see how their thoughts evolve from a sliver of an idea or even a full jewelry design to the finished piece. I have a friend who has been a professional jewelry designer for about twenty years now (and began working in his family's jewelry shop when he was about five), and his sketches have dotted lines marking vertical and/or horizontal planes. I try to remember those dotted lines when I make my own sketches; they help me remember to capture the piece from more than one angle and to keep elements of design (like symmetry or balance) in mind. They also help me make better sketches in general; it has been a long time since Mrs. Jordan taught me the principles of drawing in middle school!
|"I've been drawing these cone shapes for years," Kate says, "and finally, now, they are expressing in my work."
Jewelry Artist Kate McKinnon: Improve by Doing
Another artist's sketchbook I'd really love to peek into is that of metal clay jewelry artist and author Kate McKinnon. It's no secret that her books make me swoon, so I was happy when she agreed to talk to me a bit about her drawing and jewelry design practices–literally.
"I don't draw as much as I wish I did–I wasn't born with the gift of mind-to-pen, and so I have to work and practice to express myself with lines on paper," Kate says. "I've been told by people who do it well that it's simply a matter of practice, but honestly, I think it's half gift and half practice, and then (as the Car Talk guys would say) the third half is how a person works. People 'see' differently; some people see in images, some in film, some in colors, some in concepts. I do not 'see' in finished images.
|Another of the whimsical cone shapes from Kate's sketchbook.
"Practice can help make lines and perspective correct, if you know what you are drawing and what it looks like, and I know that practice helps me render what I see with my eyes, but I'm not sure how well I will ever be able to draw my feelings, or my ideas," Kate says. "I actually think with my hands when I make things, not with the eyes of my imagination, and my hands don't seem to have much in the way of 'seeing.' I have to make, and work, and make some more before I even understand what I'm getting at."
Kate and I have that in common; my sketches are more components of jewelry designs than finished designs. I sit down with an idea for the mechanics of a clasp, a color scheme, or a feeling for a piece, and then make it with my hands. But I still need my sketchbook to help me capture those ideas, schemes, and feelings.
"I'd like to get my drawing down to fewer lines, with more nuance and suggestion, rather than where I'm at now, which is mostly struggling to render pieces and parts in accurate sizes and angles," Kate admits. "I have taught myself to keep a sketchbook, and I do carry it with me, and although I am shy about showing people my drawings (because they aren't ever what I wish that they were), I do admit that I've improved by doing."
|What Lexi calls "doodles" from her petroglyph series.
Jewelry Artist Lexi Erickson: Just do it!
While Kate and I are more figurative sketchers, my friend and metalsmithing mentor Lexi Erickson is a literal sketcher. "I have sketchbooks that date back from the 1980s when I started doing jewelry, and they are a source of delight and amazement to me. They contain inspirational quotes, are part journal, along with ideas cut from catalogues and postcards picked up at shows and galleries, and of course, my drawings."
Some of Lexi's sketchbooks resemble visual diaries, and some are more clearly the work of a professional jewelry artist, but the important thing is she does it. "So many people feel intimidated by simply picking up a pencil/pen and drawing in a new sketchbook. You are not alone. A brand new sketch book terrifies me. There is something 'sacred' about a brand new sheet of white paper glaring at me that makes me just glare back, and my mind just goes as blank as that page."
Lexi's idea book from her archeologist days: "This was my actual field journal from years ago. I am using it for my current series. You never know from whence your ideas will come! I didn't create this thinking it would be used as a jewelry series, since I wasn't a jeweler back then."
But, through years of practice, she has developed a solution. "I start out with a series of soft triangles, circles or shield shapes, simple shapes that I use a lot. Maybe I will use a template and just draw circles, and then draw a dangle from that. . . . Whatever you do, no matter how rough the drawing looks to you, make notes, write in stone ideas, and as you practice and do it more, it will get easier, I promise," Lexi says. Once your creative juices are flowing, the intimidation goes away. "And really, what will it hurt? If you don't like it, rip the page out. A sketchbook is not an endangered species."

AAA Supports Bipartisan Transportation Bill
June 24th, 2015 by AAA
(WASHINGTON, June 24, 2015) AAA has released the following statement by Kathleen Bower, vice president of public affairs and international relations:
"AAA applauds the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee for quickly moving their bipartisan transportation reauthorization bill. This legislation is essential to repairing and improving our nation's transportation infrastructure for the tens of millions of drivers who rely on roads and bridges every day. It is now up to the Senate Commerce, Banking and Finance Committees to follow the EPW Committee's lead and act swiftly on their portions of the bill so this legislation can move to the Senate floor for debate before the current extension expires on July 31.
"How to fund a long-term transportation bill continues to be the '$100 billion question' for our leaders in Congress. AAA, along with a broad coalition of stakeholders, supports an increase to the federal gas tax as the most viable, effective and immediate solution, provided the additional funds are invested in transportation improvements that benefit motorists. We urge Chairman Hatch and Ranking Member Wyden to commit to a vote on this solution in addition to the other funding mechanisms that will be considered by their committee."
AAA Disappointed with Congressional Vote on Transportation Bill
August 1st, 2014 by AAA
Statement by Bob Darbelnet, President and CEO of AAA
(WASHINGTON, July 31, 2014) "AAA is disappointed that the House has allowed politics and an easily fixable drafting error to interfere with a bipartisan proposal that would set the stage for a long-term transportation bill. It is imperative that the Highway Trust Fund remain solvent, but Congress ultimately must work to secure the multi-year funding for transportation that American motorists expect and deserve.
"The Senate bill would have positioned Congress to work toward passage of multi-year, fully funded transportation legislation following the elections in November. The House extension delays the tough decisions until 2015, which puts jobs, the economy and American mobility at risk. AAA looks forward to working with those leaders in Congress who seek to secure a multi-year transportation bill that focuses on results, ensures adequate funding and keeps the safety of our roads and bridges a national priority."
AAA Urges Congress to Solve Highway Trust Fund Dilemma This Year
July 30th, 2014 by AAA
(WASHINGTON, July 30, 2014) AAA's President and CEO, Bob Darbelnet, today sent the following letter to Congressional leaders urging them to fix the Highway Trust Fund this year:
Dear Speaker Boehner and Leader Pelosi,
As the nation's largest organization representing motorists, AAA urges the House to act immediately to take up and pass the bipartisan Senate bill to extend funding for surface transportation programs until December of this year.
Funding for America's roads and bridges is yet again in imminent danger of running out. It is imperative that you act swiftly to ensure the immediate solvency of the Highway Trust Fund; however congressional focus must remain a multi-year proposal that will meet the long-term needs of drivers. This is accomplished in the Senate bill, which passed with broad bipartisan support.
The best short-term remedy is one that extends funding until December and positions Congress to work toward passage of a long-term, fully funded transportation bill following the elections in November. An extension that delays the tough decisions until 2015 jeopardizes Congress' ability to reach an agreement on a long-term transportation funding solution and puts jobs, the economy, and American mobility at risk.
For this reason, AAA urges you to take up and pass the bipartisan Senate bill without delay.
Robert L. Darbelnet
AAA Statement on Senate's Passage of Transportation Bill
July 29th, 2014 by AAA
"AAA commends the Senate for taking a major first step toward making a long-term investment in America's transportation infrastructure. The passage of the bipartisan amendment, proposed by Senators Boxer, Corker and Carper, sends a strong signal that Congress recognizes the importance of passing a multi-year, sustainable funding solution to fix the nation's transportation crisis and is willing to put politics aside and work together to enhance American mobility and improve safety.
"The House must now follow suit and act immediately to pass this amended bill, which will prevent the immediate insolvency of the Highway Trust Fund. However they must also commit to reaching a long-term solution to our nation's transportation funding needs by the December deadline that has been set in this legislation. In the coming months, AAA will continue to advocate for a long-term transportation bill that focuses on results, ensures adequate funding, and keeps the safety of our roads and bridges a national priority."

text: Brenda Blethyn plays a washed-up comedienne in the coming-of-age drama Introducing The Dwights. Unlike the down-on-her-luck character she plays, the 51-year-old England native has a stellar film career that includes working with all-stars like Keira Knightley and a very young Brad Pitt. She was also awarded the O.B.E. (Officer of the British Empire) in 2002, and holds two doctorate degrees. Brenda, who played Brad's mom in 1992's A River Runs Through It, is pleased with the success her onscreen son has enjoyed. 'It's wonderful,' she told OK! at NYC's Essex House. 'I would suspect that he's the same as he was before, except he's mega-famous. He was ordinary ? he's a nice guy. Of course, this is before he was ëthe' Brad Pitt, but you could see that he had something special. He wasn't just a pretty face ? he could act. He was in the moment. But it's lovely. If he's happy, I'm happy.'Keira, who played her daughter in Pride and Prejudice, is another favorite. 'She is very smart, she's playful,' she told OK! 'She doesn't behave in any way that might suggest she's a big star. She loves her friends and family. She's a bright girl, and she considers herself almost a jobbing actor. She's not a diva.'Perhaps humility is one lesson Keira learned from Brenda. Getting an O.B.E. might make some actors swell with pride, but Brenda keeps her feet on the ground. 'Oh, I forget I've got it. I can get married in St. Paul's Cathedral, so that's tempting. In the crypt, I think. I'm surprised sometimes when I pick up my mail and it says ëBrenda Blethyn, O.B.E.' In fact, it says ëDr. Blethyn,' or ëDr. Dr. Blethyn, O.B.E.' because I've got two doctorates. I forget and sometimes I pick up the mail and I'm like ëBrenda Blethyn, O.B.E.,' who is this?'On the big day, she brought her elderly aunt along to watch the festivities, but she didn't want to wear her teeth. 'I thought she'd say ëdo I have to wear a hat?' but she said ëdo I have to wear my teeth?' I said ëno auntie, not if you don't want to.' She said, ëbecause they're chafing me gums.' I said ëno, you don't have to wear your teeth,' so she didn't. When I wrote a memoir at the end of last year, I had a bunch of photos in it. She said, ëI hope you're going to put that pose when the Queen gave you the B.O.' Hahaha. Also, she's frail, she's 90, she's got arthritis, but she can putter around in her little flat. She's very independent. But because it was a day in London, I said ëwe'd better take the wheelchair, otherwise you'll get tired.' She said ëoh OK, Brenda.' When we wheeled her in the palace, the usher said ëoh, wheelchair, go right to the front.' So she's wheeled right up to the front with the other wheelchairs. Prince Charles came to do the ceremony and as he entered the Great Hall, the National Anthem fanfare struck up. She shot out of her wheelchair and stood at attention! I was like ësit down, they'll think you got here under false pretenses.' Bless her heart.'Catch Brenda in Introducing The Dwights, which opens nationwide on July 6.By Valerie Nome Photo: Wireimage.com

Notts County boss Neal Ardley described his side's responses to setbacks in the defeat to Oldham was 'not good enough.'
The Magpies went a goal down shortly before half-time when Tom Hamer's mishit cross ended up in the back of the net, and the hosts added a second within two minutes of the restart.
"The response was not good enough," said the boss. "The first goal was difficult to take because of the nature of it but we had to respond better than we did.
"No one should concede goals like the second one we let in today – that was simply a case of players not doing their jobs in the box.
"We had the same issue at the other end. We created a couple of chances but we weren't good enough in Oldham's penalty area either."
Ardley was disappointed that Notts didn't maintain the standard of performance they set in Saturday's draw with Bury.
"We played very well in that game but then followed it up with this," he said.
"We've got injury problems but we can't blame them as we dealt with the adversity against Bury but we haven't today.
"It's hard to get two similar performances out of the lads at the moment and we need to find consistency.
"We had the same thing after beating Tranmere – the next game we lost away to Grimsby."

My Starz according to Oscar Cainer:
A number of decisions which impact your life, have been made recently. Correct.
You're in agreement with some of them, but unhappy about others. Correct.
Yet, is your point of view more valid than anyone else's ? Should a lawyer who blatantly siphons money from a blind, confused and very elderly lady be entitled to have a "valid" point of view ?
Has what's being proposed taken other peoples' concerns on board and been fair to everyone involved in this process ? I think so. My brother also thinks so.
If not, as Jupiter and Pluto link, today brings an opportunity to make your voice heard and stand up for the rights of those being disadvantaged - whether that's you or not. Hopefully a lawyer ( T. J. ) will take this opportunity to right the wrong that he has been a party to. Wait and see if he is a person of integrity.

This feeling of "man, I lost track of time cause I was so focused on what I was doing" is a feeling that I used to get quite regularly when writing scenes and music. It's harder now. I think it's because of the expectations I impose upon myself. So much of success is being able to get out of your own way. Enjoy the video. Wish me luck this week finishing up the script!

The Purpose of Team Building
The term "team building" has become a catch phrase over time; an excuse for team mini golf, ping pong, or the general "morale event". Here at Adventura, we know team building. We live it and breathe it with our team of experienced facilitators, our workshops that have been tested and honed over many years, and our dedication to building collaboration and communication.
Team building, to us, is not just about making friends with your coworkers and having a good time with your team. It is working to be more whole and better people. These are the basic values we are committed to, working from the individual, outward. Being a better person, with stronger communication, is essential for strengthening any relationship. This is the same when considering work relationships.
This is what we do. Our intention is not to be your friend. We are here to help you understand yourselves more, make stronger decisions, support each other, and work toward being your best self.

How is Experienced-Based Learning Useful for Team Building?
It is all about practice and mastery: Can you dance? Can you write amazing code? Do you know how to play an instrument well? How did you learn that skill? It has taken hands on practice. It is not enough to have someone stand in front of you, telling you about a thing. Hearing is not as good as seeing, seeing is not as good as knowing, and knowing is not as good as doing. Our objective is to apply the knowledge to practice. The process of developing skills via experience is embedded within us all. Here at Adventura, we actively work to provide people with the transition from knowing to applying.
How to we enter practice-mode from our typical work-mode? This question is central to making the most of time invested in team building. We excel at creating this shift of focus. And we do it through experience-based learning.

Following the decision to close Snodon Preparatory School next year, Barrow County School System staff has been working on transitioning students for school next year.
Melinda Kay, director of secondary education, said in an initial poll of SPS students, 67 have indicated their intent to enroll in Foothills Charter High School.
Forty three students plan to attend Apalachee High School and 40 plan to attend Winder-Barrow High School. The district has received three requests to enroll in the high school outside of their attendance zone; these requests are being reviewed, school system officials said.
No students have yet indicated their intent to withdraw.
"We currently do not know of any students who have not decided or who may be planning to withdraw in order to pursue other options outside of Barrow County or Foothills Charter High School," Kay said.
The board approved the closure of SPS at its May 7 meeting.
Since then, meetings have been held with students, parents and staff members to aide in the transition.
See the June 17 print edition of the Barrow Journal for the complete story.

Sean Egan, the head of independent credit analysis firm Egan Jones, was on C NBC this morning.
He's particularly terrified by Europe.
Here's the partial quote via Noah Rosenblatt:
KERNAN: "you think that the fed is ultimately the lender of last resort to europe. how does that even work?" EGAN: "..it's working right now. in a couple of different ways. one is a swap line. okay. i broaden it from the fed to the u.s. government because you have the imf support, swap lines and then you have some back stopping. cds. really the u.s. government is the only one that can move quickly and enforce to solve this problem. the EU has 3% or 3.5% capital, okay. that's scary. lehman brothers was at that level. ECB can get additional capital but not quickly. they get it from the central banks. but it takes time to replenish the capital and if you take a reasonable hair cut on their back stopping all the deposits of these, what is it three or four countries buying the debt. buying the debt of italy and other countries. normal hair cuts you look at the capital and say it probably isn't enough. CARUSO-CABRERA: "..is there anything -- so many plans. let's get them down to 90%, gdp ratio. numerous plans have been put out most of them politically untenable. anything the European union could do right now to stop this? EGAN: "...yes. but they don't have the political will to do it. what would it be. backstop the ECB. in other words, get about another 100 billion euros of additional capital. it probably isn't enough. it would help. the ECB says we'll backstop the deposits of all the periphery countries. we don't think thats the right way to go, by the way, because there's no market discipline if they do that, but that would help. basically to stop this problem u-need to have a currency print being entity guaranteeing it."
