This ended up the most impressive result yet of Guus Hiddink's second coming as Chelsea's interim manager. The victory secured late was a throwback to this team's resilience of a year ago, and a reminder of the stubborn qualities they still hope can force passage beyond Paris Saint-Germain in a Champions League knockout tie which, if taken at face value, might otherwise appear already lost. They were far from fluent and rather error-prone at times but they still found a way to prevail against a side who had forgotten what it feels like to concede a goal, let alone ship a result. That is the happy knack the Dutch stand-in has restored.
It was Branislav Ivanovic, clad in the armband in the absence of the injured John Terry, who forced the win that hoisted Chelsea to within seven points of fifth place, albeit from a vantage point still in the bottom half of the table. This tight contest was drifting towards its final minute when the Serb leapt above Virgil van Dijk to meet Willian's corner, his header thumped in off Fraser Forster's outstretched right hand. Perhaps the goalkeeper had still been digesting a first concession in 708 minutes, stretching back to last March when he had been beaten by Diego Costa at Stamford Bridge, as the winner flew through his grasp.
He departed the turf crestfallen, with his team-mates almost numbed in their own state of shock. "It's a nice record, because it's all about the defensive work and organisation of the team, and he can be proud of that, as can the team," said Ronald Koeman, whose side had gone more than 10-and-a-half hours before Cesc Fàbregas's equaliser here punctured them for the first time since early January.
"But we are disappointed with the final result. The first goal can happen, but that's the first time in 18 months we've conceded straight from a corner. So this is not the time for us to be celebrating a record."
For all that he offered up plaudits for Chelsea's underlying talents, Southampton had simply not seen this coming.
They had actually been undone by the visitors' second-half urgency, energy that drove Southampton further and further back from the moment their appeals for a penalty after Gary Cahill's challenge on Charlie Austin had been dismissed. By then the contest had become fractious, Diego Costa and Van Dijk embroiled in a running spat with the Spain forward riled and, inevitably, increasingly threatening. It was his dart down the channel that reclaimed possession while home players were distracted by a linesman's flag, the referee having played an advantage after an incident further upfield, with the pull-back duly collected by Fàbregas.
He curled in a cross, aimed vaguely towards Eden Hazard amid the clutter in the penalty area, which arced towards goal and bounced in the six-yard box. Forster, suddenly gripped by unfamiliar indecision, prodded out tentatively with his left boot in a desperate attempt to force the ball away on the half-volley, but could not prevent it bouncing beyond and in.
"I don't know what is meant by us showing the 'old Chelsea', but the Chelsea we want to see is one that reacts when there is a setback," said Hiddink. "We like to be proactive and show the desire is huge to turn a result from negative to positive. The players responded."
As had the manager, ruthlessly, at the interval. The Dutchman, already handicapped by Pedro's departure with a hamstring complaint that will rule him out for the foreseeable future, had watched Baba Rahman gift the hosts a deserved advantage just before the break with a blind nod infield towards Ivanovic that was intercepted by Shane Long. The Irishman's finish, clipped wonderfully over the advancing Thibaut Courtois, was sublime, though the Ghanaian, burying his head in his shirt, recognised his culpability. Rahman, who could end up costing Chelsea in excess of £20m, did not return for the second half. "I could say he was injured but he was just taken off because of that [mistake]," said Hiddink. "I don't like to personalise it but you have to take decisions sometimes that can appear very harsh."
At the time he had needed a reaction, Southampton having appeared supremely comfortable up to then and apparently destined for fifth place. In the end it was Koeman who was left gnashing in frustration as Courtois denied Sadio Mané from close range to end that recent revival. Chelsea's recovery, in contrast, now stands at 14 domestic games with Antonio Conte, the anticipated permanent managerial appointment for the summer, presumably impressed from afar.
Hiddink is offering the Italian a fine platform upon which to attack next season. "I'm not thinking 'I'm doing all the hard work for the next one to sit on his chair with a massive cigar,'" he said. "I'm enjoying it. I love this. If we can restore them to the levels they're used to, I'll be more than happy." His team, with an FA Cup quarter-final still to come at Everton in two weeks, are upwardly mobile.

I get many questions that focus on how to find a job, particularly which job boards/websites are the most promising. No matter what avenues you pursue in your search for more meaningful work... The most promising avenue to pursue is people you know.
I was recently reminded of this when, again, I heard from a past client who got his "dream" job by getting his resume in the hands of people who could help him. In his case, a friend introduced him to a contact at a company that was hiring. Six weeks – and a lot of interviews – later, it ended with a job offer. My client reports that his contact got him noticed, but that his powerful resume was critical in buoying him through the process, communicating his achievements and his potential in a concise and compelling fashion.
So, with today's post, let's get back to the basics:
1) Make sure you have an awesome resume. 2) Get it in the hands of real people that can make things happen.

China's markets reopened after a week-long holiday for the New Year. At the close the Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.6%, the Yuan rose 1.2% as the Chief of the Central Bank vocally endorsed the currency, and finally Chinese exports were reported and for the seventh straight month they continued to decline. After falling to a 15 year low the week before, the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index rose 4.8% Monday, serving as the steepest upswing in five months.
The Shanghai Composite index continues on what has been a devastating year. The world's second worst performing index this year behind Greek equities, the Shanghai Composite has already fallen 22% this year and dipped another 3% upon the market's reopening Monday. This dramatic decline is indicative of the global worry regarding China's crawling economy, depreciating Yuan, and those factors' implications on the nation's already struggling capital outflows.
Chinese officials are seeking to quell the rumors of their nation's markets being the riskiest of all global markets by pointing to last week's international performance. However, this misdirection does not change the truth, which is Mainland China's markets are incredibly over-valued. Last year Chinese markets experienced a bubble that broke records, which adds to the perception of the $5.3 trillion market's inflation by comparison to its international counter parts. Averaging a premium of 10% since 2010, the Shanghai Composite is now trading at a rate 34% higher than MSCI Inc.'s emerging-markets index. The technologically focused Chinese equity market, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, is also far more expensive than alternative nation's markets. Buying an equity in the Shenzhen market is nearly four times as costly than using a comparable substitute.
Margin debt within stock markets can serve as an indicator of the confidence level of investors, with a higher balance signaling higher confidence and a lower balance representing lack of confidence. China's collective stock market saw its margin debt fall to its lowest point in over a year on February 5th, with the combined outstanding balance on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges dropping to 888.4 billion Yuan.

Suggested lesson plan for children
Staff can work into STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) theme*
Read aloud the fairytale, "Once Upon a Placemat: A Table-Setting Tale," then share a meal together. Help the children wash their hands and set their place setting by referring to the tableware characters. You can say things like, "remember, Mr. Knife is afraid the dish will run away with the spoon, so put his teeth toward Mr. Plate" and "Miss Cup hates it when people share her without giving her a bath first because of those naughty germs."
If possible, give each child a "share a meal, not the germs" picnic kit with these suggested items:
- Bag (paper or reusable insulated bag).
- Plate, cup, napkin, fork, spoon, knife.
- Crayons or washable markers.
- Placemat with tableware characters (free pdf for coloring and possible laminating).
- Picnic food (homemade or prepackaged that would use all utensils, such as peanut butter, crackers, applesauce and cake).
- Hand sanitizer or sanitizing wipes.
- Sink hand-washing sign and tri-fold flyer on CMV prevention to take home (found on blog post: https://congenitalcmv.blogspot.com/2018/05/free-cmv-prevention-tool-kit-for.html)
- If funds are available, give a child their own bound copy of Once Upon a Placemat: A Table Setting Tale to color and share with their families so their parents can reinforce the table-setting lesson and learn how to prevent CMV, the #1 birth defects virus, as well as other diseases (book available on Amazon for $5.38).
*STEAM is a popular way to package and present the interconnectedness of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math in the regular curriculum. When you talk about germs, the coloring book, "Once Upon a Placemat" (Art and Literacy), introduces germs (science, biology) in a format that integrates the arts. Drawing and writing activities can be planned to further integrate those domains. Teachers can further bring in technology and engineering by designing activities that help the children to "invent" equipment or machines to help better wash hands, keep food fresh and germ free, etc. Math can enter into the plan by graphing how long children wash their hands, how often they wash their hands, keep track how many uses the classrooms get out of a single pump bottle of hand soap, etc. With a little more thought (and a few trips to Pinterest!) lots of germ-based activities can be created and integrated.

A Dangerous Method (David Cronenberg, 2011)
Intellectually stimulating above all, A Dangerous Method has been one of the more difficult films for me to assess. The precision and attention to detail is undeniably impressive, as are the uniformly tight performances from Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen as Carl Yung and Sigmund Freud respectively. But there's a particular dryness to the way in which the film is written; not so much in the actual dialogue or exchanges, but in the way the film connects scenes. The screenplay, written by Christopher Hampton and based on John Kerr's book, lacks a sense of connected uniformity. Individual scenes work out impressively, but when put together, they seem fragmented and devoid of cinematic bravura.
It's not to fault the film entirely on Hampton's screenplay, as it's hardly a bad work, but rather that it doesn't necessarily lend itself to the cinematic. Hampton had initially written the screenplay as a stageplay, therein introducing some of the problems I have with the feature to begin with – it certainly feels like a play, wherein scenes of dialogue unfold in one area, before eventually transitioning to another scene where two individuals combat in verbal acrobatics.
Honestly though, listening to Fassbender and Mortensen play out their roles and discussing theories of psychosexual development and anal fixation (all while Mortensen smokes a cigar; perpetually living out his own oral fixation theory) is worth viewing A Dangerous Method in itself. And the two banter in a way that make use of the material, as they are quite subdued and naturalistic in their performances. But it's Kiera Knightly as Sabrina Spielrein who chews the scenery and completely revolts against the film's restrained tone. To say she chews the scenery is an understatement here – she absolutely overwhelms the audience with her gaudy stammering and facial contortions to the point you have to wonder how someone like Fassbender could have kept a straight face throughout some of the film's initial sequences. Knightly eventually finds her footing as the film progresses, but she is definitely operating under a different understanding of the material.
And there's David Cronenberg. A Dangerous Method is not quite like any of his other films, as he is subscribing to a far more classical method of visual storytelling than even A History of Violence or Eastern Promises. I've read comparisons to Dead Ringers, but A Dangerous Method never really dabbles into an insatiably weird ideology – it's fairly straightforward in its thinking, and at this point, Freud's ideological framework isn't exactly lurid material. But if Cronenberg is giving up his 80s obsession with physical horror, he is adhering to a far more subtle psychological horror that has allowed for the greater advancement of his formal technique. Precise and perceptive, A Dangerous Method may not be Cronenberg's best film, but it just might be his finest directorial effort.

WWE fans, beware: a cybersecurity error left the personal information of more than 3 million users unprotected online, free to access for anybody who knew what to search for.
The wrestling entertainment company confirmed the authenticity of the report and has removed the database, but the damage may have already been done.
Unprotected WWE Online Database
The leaked data, all of which was stored in plain text, included information such as home address, email address, educational background, ethnicity, earnings, and age ranges of children, were found on an Amazon Web Services S3 server with no username or password protection.
The discovery was made by Bob Dyachenko, from German security firm Kromtech. He suspects that the database belonged to one of WWE's marketing teams, as it included a significant amount of social media tracking data such as posts made by the WWE superstars and its fans. The kinds of data involved in the leak are similar to what is asked from users for the account details section of the WWE Network, which is a subscription-based video streaming service for the wrestling company's fans.
Dyachenko, however, added that there is another WWE database that was leaked on Amazon Web Services, with the second database containing information mostly on European customers. The information contained in the database, however, only included names, telephone numbers, and addresses, likely from an online WWE store as the WWE Network does not ask users for their mobile numbers.
What Is WWE Doing About The Information Leak?
The unprotected database was likely caused by a misconfiguration from WWE's technical department or from one of the company's IT partners.
Center for Democracy & Technology chief technologist Joseph Lorenzo Hall also pointed out the issue of WWE collecting information on ethnicity, while calling out Amazon for allowing data to be left unprotected on its cloud servers. Such incidents already happened before, including data on 198 million voters inadvertently uploaded by Republican Party marketing contractor Deep Root Analytics.
WWE said that it is currently investigating the cause for the massive data leak. The company took the unprotected databases down as soon as Dyachenko informed it on July 4.
"WWE is investigating a potential vulnerability of a database housed on a third party platform" said a company spokesperson, who reiterated that more sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details were not included in the leak.
Nevertheless, in a world where cybersecurity threats are on the rise, leaked personal information could lead to cases of identity theft. For WWE fans who have WWE Network accounts, it would be wise to remain vigilant and report any cases of identity theft that you may encounter.

Does Amazon Reward You For Joining KDPS?
Have you given exclusivity to Amazon KDP Select, only to see sales go down?
I have used Amazon KDP Select many times over the years, and one thing that is becoming clear to me is that there is clearly a very rewarding carrot offered for joining, in the way of favourable treatment by Amazon's algorithms, but that it can be short-lived.
If it happened once or twice, I would be doubtful, but after enrolling my ebooks in KDPS in April of this year, I am now starting to see the same trend that I have seen many, many times before.
After a short honeymoon period, Amazon's KDPS algorithms stop treating you as if they love you, and all of a sudden, you are just one of the pack again.
I'll share my Amazon author ranking chart with you for the last twelve months, and I'm sure you will be able to tell exactly when I re-enrolled in KDPS, after having my ebooks available on multiple retailers for a year.
So now, after five months of being favoured, the little orange line on the right tells the story. Amazon doesn't seem to love me anymore, and without favourable treatment from their algorithms, my rank is heading south.
As has happened so many times before, I finally give up on KDPS after six months and go back to listing on multiple retailers through Smashwords. It's a silly game, really.
But it does prove to me that you can get a very big sales boost on Amazon Kindle, by enrolling in KDP Select. To have to rinse and repeat, by un-enrolling and re-enrolling every six months or so to get preferential treatment is all a bit stupid though.
But then again, we are talking about algorithms here, which are not human, and are only programmed to react to certain hard data events.
Newly enrolled? Ok, give 'em a nice carrot!
Un-enrolled? Hit them with a stick.
But stay with Amazon KDP Select, and like all love affairs, the initial excitement fades quite quickly.
It's a difficult relationship, isn't it?

One of the things I love about video is the way that it can engage an audience. Video consists of images, words, text, music, and motion, all wrapped into one presentation. When executed just right, it captivates like no other medium. And motivating an audience to slow down, spend time with you, and listen to your message will help to create a network of enthusiastic customers, eager to support your brand.
In today's digital climate, time is the greatest currency you have. Consumers have access to more information in the history of the world. In addition, attention spans are on the decline. So, companies need ways to encourage those consumers to stop and spend time with their products and services. Because customers want to do their research. They want to get to know a brand. They want to have conversations. They want a forum in which to discuss their needs. And video can create that level of engagement by generating discussion and conversation.
Consider this evolution:
• The more you can engage potential customers/clients, the more they will talk about you.
• The more they talk about you, the more your company's name will spread.
• The more positive things people hear, the more they will be inclined to spend time with you.
• And the more time they spend with you, the more they will be inclined to buy from you.
It's one thing to sell to a customer once or twice, but you want more than that. If you can capture a customer's time, you will eventually create a following. And those people will become your greatest advocates. They will support you. They will bring others to you. They will sell your products and services for you. And video has been shown to be the preferred way people consume their content, even among company executives.
Start brainstorming ways in which you can incorporate video into your sales & marketing efforts. If you need help on how to get started and take a video project through to completion, please leave your question in the Comments section.

Registering your vehicle:
Students and active duty personnel (including dependents) do not need to register their vehicles or acquire a new license in Nevada as long as the individual is not employed in the State of Nevada. Vehicles must be currently registered with the home state of valid insurance and driver's license.
Out-of-state drivers and vehicle registrations can be used by new residences for up to 30 days or before the prior items expire, whichever comes first. At any time during that 30 days, they may be turned in to the DMV for Nevada documents.
Nevada law requires motorists to notify DMV of a change of address within 30 days of the move. Keeping your address current is important so they can send renewal notices in the mail.

SUV / 4WDTransmission

Hi there! My name is Togo, and I am an SUV :) I have been always treated with great amount of love like a family member (I have a name after all), and that's how I managed to not look my age and make it so pleasant for you to drive me. The visibility from inside is great, and make it a real pleasure to drive. Rear parking sensors will help you park comfortably. Even though the car looks big - it parks really easy, and actually is shorter than most sedans. You will find couple of useful supplementary equipment that comes with the car to keep you safe and comfy: - Bluetooth set: just press and hold the 'send' button (middle) to pair with your Bluetooth device, and don't have to worry about your phone while driving (next time you borrow, it should be enough just to push the button once, and it should automatically connect). - Phone holder - Android Phone charger (works for the Bluetooth set as well if it is hungry) - 3x USB slots for your own cables to charge multiple devices (but please do so only when the engine is running) - Some CDs with music (feel free to BYO and leave them inside for others if you want to share your music). Unfortunately, there is no USB slot in the radio. - Sunroof (I feel like I should have started with that one) - Cruise control (right from the steering wheel) - There is a picnic table in the trunk, feel free to make use of it. - After folding rear seats - it can bring you anything IKEA has in offer with no trouble.

The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce will pull out all the stops this week as it hosts the annual Distinguished Citizens Award Banquet, an honored community tradition that recognizes individuals and businesses "who go the extra mile to help out in any way they can and never ask for anything in return."
The theme this year is a Hollywood-style "roll out the red carpet," in honor of the Granada Theater's reopening last year.
Chamber members submitted their nominations for this year's awards in early December and the winners will be announced at the banquet, which takes place Thursday from 5:30 to 9 .m. at the Fort Dalles Readiness Center.
"It's an amazing event just to watch and see people who have had such an impact on the community" said Lisa Farquharson, president and CEO of the chamber. "It just reminds us what a great community we have."
Awards are presented in the following eight categories: Business of the Year, Outstanding Agricultural Achievement, Outstanding Woman, Outstanding Man, Outstanding Youth, Outstanding Volunteer, Outstanding First Responder, Outstanding Educator.
Last year's winners included Helping Hands Home Care district manager Mary Gailley for Outstanding Woman, NAPA Auto Parts owner Chuck Covery for Outstanding Man, Centerpointe Bank as Business of the Year, retired educator Rose Brown for Outstanding Volunteer, Dallesport Fire Department chief Rhet Howard for Outstanding First Responder, then The Dalles High School senior Rebecca Stiles for Outstanding Student, St. Mary's Academy third-grade teacher Joan North for Outstanding Educator, and Bryce Molesworh for Outstanding Agricultural Achievement.
The chamber has already sold over 200 tickets to this year's event and expects a great turnout.
All tickets can be purchased in person at the chamber office at 404 West Second Street, or by phone at 541-296-2231, and will be available until 2 p.m. Wednesday.
Individual tickets cost $40 each while a sponsored table, which include marketing gifts and extra wine, costs $500.

2015 - Comparative Tests for Identification of Silver Tarnishing
2015 - Comparative Tests for Identification of Silver Tarnishing
The jewelry manufacturing industry has carried out much research to remedy the effects of tarnishing on silver. With the common knowledge that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) causes tarnishing, the industry has focused on two widely used tests for tarnish identification: the dipping test and the fuming test. However, these tests have not been standardized; for example, there are different recipes for the chemicals used and varying amounts for the H2S concentration. But do these two tests resemble real-world circumstances? Similar to the secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) test, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a technique that can be employed on silver rings of different compositions and worn by a sample size population of wearers with different daily lifestyle circumstances to better represent real-world conditions. Potentiodynamic tests were conducted to mimic various real-world solutions: hanks solution (simulated body fluid), artificial sweat, sulfur-containing liquid, etc. The polarization voltage sweep was employed to monitor the exchange of electrons through silver articles. All test results were then compared to identify the mounting complexity of the tarnishing problem.

Expectations for achievement may not be appropriate
Cultural attitudes, lack of exposure to deafblind adults, limited information about causes of deafblindness - and many more beliefs and attitudes - affect the educational expectations for DB children. It is not uncommon for educators and paraprofessionals to underestimate the learning potentials of DB students. Make sure that you formulate your own perceptions about the student you work with, based on what you know about alternative intelligences. Thinking outside the box is crucial!
Isolation from peers in the classroom and in the larger school environment
Notice whether or not the DB student you work with is included in P.E., or eats lunch with peers, or has opportunities to participate actively with others. There are lots of ways that PT and OT can reduce the isolation of the DB student. Does your student have motor difficulties? Design activities for all of her classmates, and help the paraprofessionals do that motor group daily. Or, plan your PT session right before the student's lunch, then set up and facilitate a peer interaction at lunch.
Many service providers are involved

Making a Difference: Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Working with Deafblind (DB) Students
Are you an occupational or physical therapist working in the Texas public school system? Do you need more information about how to best contribute to the education of deafblind students?
If so, you're not alone.
Whether you're receiving your first referral for OT or PT evaluation and services for a deafblind student or your 50th, it's a fairly safe bet that you are not as prepared as you would like to be. This website is designed to give entry level and experienced therapists theoretical and practical assistance that will better equip them to be productive members of the educational teams for children with deafblindness. Because so little information about visual impairment, and specifically deafblindness, has found its way into pre-service curricula at the universities that offer OT and PT programs, many of us find ourselves wondering how best to translate what we know as clinicians into appropriate educational strategies for the DB student. OT and PT have much to offer the DB student when they work from a base of knowledge about the ways in which deafblindness impacts learning and social relationships.
This website will familiarize you with:
- Basic information about the conditions that cause DB and how they impact learning
- Available assessments, and how to use them
- Theoretical frameworks that may help you interface meaningfully with the DB student you serve
- The roles of other service providers often involved with DB students, and how you, as physical or occupational therapist, can collaborate with them
- Strategies for communicating and teaching skills to the DB student
- Basic Orientation and Mobility information
- Developing and writing IEP goals for the DB student
- Defining literacy for the DB student, and defining your potential contributions to literacy and communication
- A glossary of terms associated with deafblindness
- Resources and references for further reading, so that you can educate yourself on concepts and theoretical applications that are important to the education of the DB student

Sun sextile Venus
Love and support
This relationship makes you both feel just wonderful, due to a very real and deep sense of love and understanding that exists between you almost from the start. Even as soon as you started exchanging emails or phone calls, you recognized that in this person, you'd found a real friend. They instinctively respond to you in a positive way, supporting and protecting you and quickly offering you the precious gift of devotion.
You feel as if you're completely accepted and well-loved by this person. This is because there is an open flow of communication that runs between you -- and it isn't necessarily always verbal. You simply get along well, and enjoy your companionable silences as much as the stimulating conversations you share. Your lover also encourages you to be more social; as a couple, you surround yourselves with friends and loved ones, which increases the loving feelings that already exist between you. Essentially, your partner is your biggest fan -- they support your goals and causes in life, and cheer you on as you meet with success in your own life. They're also able to support you through the rougher patches that inevitably crop up in life. At base, you're good friends, which is a wonderful foundation for the strongest of connections.

A good idea is the use of outdoor fabrics from a designers perspective at all? On the basis of the minimalist tendencies you wonder yes whether you shouldn't be waived and then rather on the beauty of the furniture pieces is much.
The answer is always different. Outdoor fabrics can be too transparent. You can also provide a monochrome, minimalist appearance. Outdoor fabrics can add accents.

The colors of outdoor fabrics can correspond with the plants or the environment to the outside area around and thus blur the boundaries to this.
So make a good choice, no matter, whether you look at them from a practical or stylistic perspective.
Fresh accents and wound elements
Minimalist atmosphere overlooking the sea
Urban Romance on the balcony
A heart through meaningful carpet set
Summery and full of life with colorful cushion
Neutral colors of nature and rough textures
Natural fibers in soft colors
Are you on authentic folklore patterns of accent colors?
Or prefer more modest?

Experiments with Truth
Atul Dodiya Works 1981-2013
Curated by Ranjit Hoskote
November 15, 2013 onwards
National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA), New Delhi -110 003
The exhibition, Experiments with Truth: Atul Dodiya, Works 1981-2013, commissioned by the NGMA in collaboration with the Vadehra Art Gallery, offers viewers an extensive survey of the career of one of India's most significant contemporary artists with a flow of 12 conceptual and thematic zones within the gallery. The title of the exhibition hints not only at his preoccupation with 'the artist of non-violence', Mahatma Gandhi, who has been a point of reference in several of his works, but also the realism that pervades his subjects. Curator Ranjit Hoskote has undertaken a massive exercise by bringing together as many as 130 works of the contemporary artist, and the collection includes several pieces which haven't been seen in years by the artist and also Delhi viewers. "Even I am seeing some of my works after years," says Atul Dodiya during the Talk Show at the event.
Dodiya's own artistic journey has been conducted as a series of 'experiments with truth'. And the journey begins from his early portraits, which Dodiya reveals have never been exhibited. This exhibition presents oil paintings, water colors, shutter installations, sculpture installations and cabinet assemblages. "I grew up in a crawl and there were no artists in my family. Now of course, my wife is an artist, my daughter is studying art but my father, grandfather or mother…they were not artists" says Dodiya adding that for him a scholar and a common man are equal. Wit and humor hardly go missing from his work.
The exhibition also comprises a new series titled "Painted Photographs/Paintings Photographed", positioned in Jaipur House, a result of thoughts and ideas that hounded Dodiya for over 10 years. It juxtaposes his fascination for European art history and Gandhian freedom struggle on the same canvas. The figure of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, whose autobiography the title of the show refers to, has occupied a crucial place in Dodiya's consciousness. But his compulsive revisiting of Gandhi's life and philosophy in a range of work, executed in various media, and has yielded many layers of meaning. On entering the gallery, one is confronted by a portrait, entitled Father, depicting a man seated on a sofa—who is, presumably, the artist's biological parent. Dodiya treats the field of cultural action as a site for inquiry, debate, play and illumination; much as Gandhi treated discourse as a site for the exercise of these preoccupations. Dodiya has painted popular black-and-white images from 1910 to 1948, and put them side-by-side with photographs of paintings by artists such as Picasso, Matisse and Rousseau. A significant body of Dodiya's work consists of diptychs made of painted photographs and photographic paintings, juxtaposing scenes from Gandhi's private and public lives with instances of 20th century modernist paintings. From Piet Mondrian's stark grids to Marcel Duchamp's spectral Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2, replicas of classic art appear next to the vignettes of Gandhi's life and times preserved in the iconic photographs.
Intended as it is to provide a panoramic survey of Dodiya's artistic production over the last three decades, this exhibition maps his transition from the easel painting to a practice premised on the installation and social space, his adaptation of popular art as a political strategy of representation, his invention of an artistic genealogy through which to define an amplified, transcultural selfhood.

It is now one week until Wappinshaw, the Glasgow Wargames show.
Pictures of the venue for visitors and traders to be posted on Wednesday. A final listing of games and traders on Tuesday - we've had a couple of changes in the past few days and I'd rather put up a correct list later than one which won't be accurate earlier.

What are the options available for parking? Are there long stay car parks near by that won't cost and arm and a leg to park in?
Buchanan Galleries carpark is next door of course - see here for details: http://wappinshaw.blogspot.com/2011/04/wappinshaw-2011-parking-in-buchanan.html
Other than that I think parking is pretty sparse in the centre of town, but we're near two rail stations, the underground and the bus station so a park and ride might be a viable alternative?

My new art for this week is assorted and random. As well as finishing TWO NEW NOVEL COVERS (yay) I did some other art, and did my full colouring of the human ponies picture, which I also recorded as a screencast if I can bother uploading it for people's reference. It's for beginners really, some nice basic colouring, so we'll see 🙂
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic characters, human style!
Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Rainbow Dash, all done up together as peeps. 🙂 I'd already done one human picture of Pinkie so only the other five were "new", but I did my best to integrate their looks, personalities and hair into these human forms. Next up, my people-pony anthro style lineup! Ooh, it never stops.
Menace & Angel, in the style of F.S's Menace & Melona picture
It's no secret that I love the art of Japanese hentai maestro, F.S. Between his lineart and his colouring (and that of his team, lol) I adore the detail and softness of character proportions, and his affinity for the more full-figured female (which with characters like Cammesonja, Maria and Angel, suits me very well). I collect as much of his PG-13 art as I can, mostly Queen's Blade but some others, and I did this piece based on one of his own images of Menace and Melona. Instead we have Menace in her "modern" type fitness duds, and Angel, who looks suitably like Menace's combat instructor Anarista (whom I adoooooore and want a book of!). I did a softer colouring style to suit F.S's a little better. 🙂
Alejandra, our OC, as a teenager
Ally is a sweet little thing who normally spends her time as an adorable little girl with fangs and a huge intellect. She recently returned to her teenage form and went on holiday to Portugal, where she made all the other beachgoers totally jealous. And she still has her beloved lizard toy. Yay Ally, we love you!
Otherwise in my sketch and lineart bin, I have:
Taokaka in "casual" gear
Smug Sheeva
Maria in her "Pooters" uniform
Terak carrying Synor
…and more!

So, time for another live chat at noon today. Now, on to the links, and I'll start with my story today looking at UW's defense, which has put up some solid numbers the last two games. Obviously, UW has played two struggling offenses in its last two games (what can probably be argued are the two worst offenses in the conference right now). But facts are UW made each look as bad or worse than it had been, and that hasn't always been the case. UW's improved play the last few weeks is illustrated in a few stats. Consider that after the Oregon game, UW ranked 110th nationally in defense, allowing 440 yards per game. Now, UW is 85th, allowing 400.55. UW was 118th in rushing defense after the Oregon game (219.56) and now is 108th (206.82) and has gone from 91st in pass defense efficiency (rating of 139.38) to 54th (124.57) and 71st in pass defense (220.44 yards per game) to 31st (193.73). (You can find all of UW's national team ratings here). As my story notes, UW's task will be different this week with the Cougars having a solid passing game but a statistically deficent (if improving) running attack. It could be argued, however, that WSU has the best offense of these last three teams UW has had to beat to get to a bowl, something that wouldn't have seemed likely even a month ago. IN OTHER NEWS. … — Steve Kelley has a nice column today on UW senior safety Nate Williams. — To complement our Apple Cup coverage, we're looking at the top QB performances of all-time in this game for each team. Today we look at the fourth-best. — Bud Withers examines whether Paul Wulff will be back. — In his weekly Pac-10 notebook, Withers also looks at some of the problems circling USC. — This appears to be an historic day as I seem to be getting my links up before Vince Grippi in Spokane. So as I type this, all I can pass along from him is his post last night which also includes a link to Wulff's press conference yesterday. — The Arizona Daily Star's weekly Pac-10 notebook highlights Sarkisian's call against Cal. — ESPN.com's Ted Miller has Mason Foster No. 4 on his list of candidates for Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year. — BetFirms.com picks UW 23-17. All for now. Comments

* NSE index up 0.73 pct, BSE index rises 0.86 pct
* Asian markets also positive
* Infosys results awaited
By Tanvi Mehta
Oct 16 (Reuters) - Indian shares rose on Tuesday amid positive global markets, with all eyes on market heavyweight Infosys Ltd which is widely expected to report a higher profit later in the day.
Asian stocks rose modestly, gaining a firmer footing after a week of heavy losses, although increasing tensions between Saudi Arabia and the West have fanned geopolitical concerns and capped gains.
Indian markets are on track for their third consecutive session of gains after a global rout on Thursday had put the NSE index on to its worst start to the October quarter in a decade.
"Selling pressure in the market has come down... Results so far are on expected lines. Market is on the recovery path, nothing to read beyond that," said Deven Choksey, founder, KR Choksey Investment Managers.
The broader NSE index was up 0.73 percent at 10,589.30 as of 0524 GMT, with IndusInd Bank as the top percentage gainer after it reported a 4.6 percent jump in September quarter profit.
The benchmark BSE index was trading 0.86 percent higher at 35,164.96.
Infosys shares rose over 1 percent amid anticipation of the company posting strong results for the September quarter. Bigger rival Tata Consultancy Services Ltd set the tone for the season last week, but analysts remained concerned over its margins.
Shares of South Indian Bank and Zee Media Corp also rose over 16 percent after both companies posted higher profit on Monday.
Cable TV and service providers Hathway Cable & Datacom and DEN Networks Ltd gained about 8 percent after a media report said that Reliance Industries Ltd could buy controlling stakes in the two companies to boost its high-speed broadband network.

CanoScan redefines scanning market, claims Canon
Canon claims to have redefined the scanning market with its latest CanoScan products, the nattily named CanoScan N1240U and CanoScan N676U.
Canon claims to have redefined the scanning market with its latest CanoScan products. Offering up to 1200 x 2400 dpi scanning, the CanoScan N1240U is being touted as a "simply stunning package" that will offer users exemplary image quality at a "market-shaking price."
The company says, "people who value function but aren't prepared to compromise on design will love the CanoScan N1240U and N676U." The metallic finish and outstanding slim-line styling are thought to be particularly appealing.
This commitment to exemplary image quality manifests itself in the optical resolution delivered by Canon's LIDE technology sensor. The CanoScan N1240U provides 'true' 1200 x 2400dpi while the CanoScan N676U provides 'true' 600 x 1200 dpi optical resolution. Both scanners have 48-bit internal colour depth (24-bit output) for scanned result, which ensures "amazing colour reproduction and pin sharp focus."
Other highlights include the products nattily named, three user-configurable, 'EZ Buttons' and small footprint. Having inserted the target media, all one has to do is press the appropriate 'EZ Button' and "let advanced Canon technology do the rest." Footprint size is not only reduced but also comes with vertical scanning capabilities as the scanner to be tilted through 90 degrees.
For those unable to take the strain of scanning one photograph at a time, Canon has developed a 'powerful' new multi-photo scanning technology that instantly speeds up the scanning operation. By simply dropping up to ten target photographs under the Zlid and pressing the 'EZ Button,' Canon's software identifies all photos on the platen and scans each one automatically, de-skewing as necessary.
While both products are easy to "plug 'n' play" due to its USB feature, they also come with a full range of powerful imaging software for both PC and Mac. Titles include Adobe PhotoShop Elements, ScanGear CS-U driver, ScanGear Toolbox CS scanner control centre and ArcSoft Photobase, which allows you to store images safely in a digital album.
The market defining CanoScan N1240U and N676U will be available from October onwards.
