Lomography is a photographic image style and an analog camera movement and community facilitated by The Lomographic Society International. Lomography started as an art movement in which students put on exhibitions of photos within Vienna; the art movement then developed into a commercial enterprise. Now celebrating 20 years comes the release of the Lomo LC-A+ 20th Anniversary Edition 35mm Camera.
The culture of Lomography was created by chance. In 1992, Austrian student photographers came across the tiny, Saint Petersburg Russian LOMO LC-A camera. What they discovered was that the camera allowed for unique, high-contrast, colorful photos. This was perfect for arts-inspired, college kids who could take the lightweight camera around town and snap away to create cool, unique, experimental images. This grew to be one of the most successful styles and communities in photography, and now the biggest analog camera producer in the world.
Twenty years later, the Lomo LC-A+ 20th Anniversary Edition, will be limited to 1000 units. Each camera will have it's own serial number and certificate assuring the authenticity of your special collectors item. The art theme carries over with an avant-garde, electric blue-stamped croc pattern made from real leather.
Don't miss out on the commemorative piece from one of the most iconic pieces in photographic history.

Had an opportunity along with several of our staff to attend the third annual Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council conference last week. It was held at Miron Construction in Neenah, and while it was just one day, it packed a pretty powerful learning punch.
We had the opportunity to hear from several Wisconsin companies that day about their approach to sustainability and what has driven them to pursue a wide range of "green" efforts. Companies like Johnson Controls, MillerCoors, SC Johnson, Briggs and Stratton, Lands End, Bassett Mechanical, and others. One company talked about installing hand dryers in the restrooms and saving $12,000/year on paper towels. Another mentioned simple sanitation policies/practices that reduced sick time in their workforce by half.
They all, in one way or another, talked about the 3 Ps as drivers for sustainability efforts: Payback, People, and Planet, and for organizations such as this, clearly in that order. Regardless of what one's personal view or values may be in this arena, these drivers make perfect sense for companies and organizations like ours. There needs to be a return on investment (or payback) for these initiatives to fly; secondly, they are paying attention to the overall health of people–both employees and consumers; and as they put it, if in the end it's a good thing for the environment (planet), great!

NLRB GC suggests employers should only be able to withdraw union recognition based on decert election
Employers should only be allowed to withdraw recognition from a union after petitioning for an election, NLRB General Counsel Richard F. Griffin, Jr. argued this week, urging the NLRB to scrap its "problematic" Levitz Furniture framework for determining whether an incumbent union has lost majority support and instead impose an election requirement as the sole means of making the requisite showing. And he directed the Board's regions to take up the cause.
"Peril" for employers? The NLRB's 2001 decision in Levitz Furniture Co. of the Pacific barred an employer from withdrawing recognition from an incumbent union unless it was able to objectively show by a preponderance of the evidence that the union had lost the support of a majority of bargaining unit employees. The Board said it would revisit this approach, though, if experience showed that it does not effectuate the purposes of the Act. According to Griffin, the last 15 years have indeed shown that the Levitz Furniture standard is unworkable. Employers have not restricted themselves to withdrawing recognition only when the evidence "clearly indicates" a lack of support for the union, he notes, and the Levitz test has "created peril for employers in determining whether there has been an actual loss of majority support" for a union. The result has been "protracted litigation undermining the core purposes of the Act."
Moreover, the existing framework does not further the NLRA's statutory goals of "promoting stable bargaining relationships and employee free choice," Griffin added. "In short, the experience under Levitz has not yielded the results that the Board anticipated and intended," he writes. Also, an election requirement is more aligned with the oft-stated principle that "Board elections are the preferred means of testing employees' support."
Directive to regions. When it issued its ruling in Levitz, the Board rejected the General Counsel's position that employers should not be permitted to withdraw recognition absent the results of Board elections that would "fairly and efficiently" determine the union's level of support. Seeking to "place the issue before the Board" anew, Griffin in a May 9 General Counsel Memorandum (GC 16-03) directed the regions to request that the Board "adopt a rule that, absent an agreement between the parties, an employer may lawfully withdraw recognition from a Section 9(a) representative based only on the results of an RM or RD election." Specifically, he instructed that when issuing complaints alleging an employer has unlawfully withdrawn recognition under extant Board law, the regions also should plead in the alternative that the employer unlawfully violated Section 8(a)(5) by "unilaterally withdrawing recognition absent the results of a Board election."
To that end, Griffin presented the regions with model provisions to include in briefs to the agency's law judges and to the Board itself. The model brief goes on to outline a host of ways in which the Levitz framework has undermined employees' choice of bargaining rep.
Ambush rules support the change. An election requirement is even more appropriate now, according to Griffin's model brief, because the NLRB's revised election rules have streamlined the election process. In the past, the Board's blocking charge procedure had posed a significant drawback in using RM elections as a prerequisite for withdrawing recognition, Griffin pointed out, because of the potential delay in proceeding to an election. However, the new election rules allay this concern, as the initial data shows that the number of blocking charges has been sharply reduced since enactment of the revised election rules in April 2015.

Still fresh off the release of their latest full-length album, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE, and a completely sold-out UK headlining tour, alternative rock trio The Wombats are making their way through a North American headlining tour with support from Barns Courtney. The tour kicked off in Los Angeles, CA, on September 27th, stopping in just about every major city before it ends in New York City on October 30th. Although they have yet to finish up the last stretch of shows in New England and Canada, the tour has already been a memorable endeavor for the band.
The Wombats's latest full-length, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE, which came out February 9th via AWAL recordings, has seen great success throughout its course thus far. The album made the Top 3 UK and Billboard 200 charts upon release, and the latest single, "Turn," has since spent nine weeks at #1 on SiriusXM's Alt Nation while also exceeding 24 million streams on Spotify. Of course, the album is worth all of the praise. The band has always been known for their colorful alternative music and lively performances, but on BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE, the trio expressed an emotional maturity unlike anything they've ever displayed before. Their current North American tour has simply solidified this heightened level of musicianship.
The Wombats Remaining North American Tour Dates:
October 18 Richmond, VA @ The National
October 19 Philadelphia, PA @ The Fillmore Philadelphia
October 20 Baltimore, MD @ Rams Head Live!
October 22 Portland, ME @ Port City Music Hall
October 23 New Haven, CT @ College Street Music Hall

Summer is Coming: Quick Salad Redux
Summer is coming and with it comes one of my favorite seasonal perks: lots of fresh greens. This past week it got hot in LA. I'm not complaining, I love the dry heat, but there are some days where I simply cannot turn on the oven or else it won't be just the vegetables that are getting roasted. Here is a simple Savory Summer Kale Salad that you can easily evolve over the week in various forms to get the most variety out of your leftovers. The best part? No oven.
Savory Summer Kale Salad: 3 Ways
Initial Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale, chiffonade chopped (I used curly kale, Lacinato will also work)
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- 1/3 Cup Red onion, sliced thin
- 1/2 Cup Kalamata olives, loose chop
- 2 Tbsp. Capers
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- 2 Tbsp. Olive oil and/or flax seed oil
- 2 tsp Garlic powder
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
Mix the chopped kale, olive oil, seasoning and lemon juice in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients, toss well, and serve.
We enjoyed this for dinner, and agreed it would be lovely with some smoked salmon or baked chicken breast. It was delicious and a very cooling way to end a hot day.
Round 2
Since this salad keeps so well in the fridge, I was ready for round two! It was time to add in some protein. The next day I added to the salad:
1 can black beans (bpa free, and rinsed)
Chopped cilantro
Avocado slices
And a touch more flaxseed oil
It was filling, and a refreshing lunch.
Round 3
We still had a bit of the salad left over. A simple third iteration? Just add:
- Quinoa
And you might want to add a touch more of sea salt or granulated garlic for flavor.
Enjoy this timesaver salad tip for hot days and let me know what else you like to do to get your leftovers tasting fresh! Thank you for reading!
I post a lot of recipes on my Instagram feed, and you can follow me fore more tips and tricks!

What Is a Routing Transit Number?
A routing transit number is a nine-digit numerical code used to identify a banking or other financial institution for the purpose of clearing funds or processing checks in the United States. The routing transit number, as it appears on a check, specifically denotes the banking institution that holds the account in which funds from the check are to be drawn.
Routing Transit Number Explained
The first four digits of any RTN code will designate the Federal Reserve Bank of the district where the institution is located. The next four digits denote the bank itself, while the last digit is a classifier for the check or negotiable instrument.
RTN numbers are often used when setting up a wire transfer or direct deposit relationship with one's personal or business bank.
A wire transfer is an electronic funds exchange across a network administered by hundreds of banks worldwide. While no physical currency moves among financial institutions during a wire transfer, information does pass between banks, with regards to the recipient, their bank account number, and how much money being received. A routing transit number is therefore critical to ensure sensitive information is directed to the appropriate receiving party.
Regarding a direct deposit, senders often use this method for efficient income tax refunds and paychecks. Here, a sender will deposit electronic funds directly into the receiver's bank account instead of via a paper check. A RTN again is useful in specifying the domain and particular party to whom to direct information.
RTN Fraud
In January 2018 in Tennessee, a jury found citizens Keith Beane and Heather Ann Tucci-Jarraf guilty of money laundering. In addition, they found Beane guilty of wire fraud.
Beane took advantage of automatic delays present in money transfers within the United States banking system to purchase certificates of deposit (CDs), using the U.S. Federal Reserve's routing number. Coupled with a fake checking account number, Bean quickly liquidated the CDs and placed the new funds in his USAA accounts. He withdrew these funds immediately, prior to the transaction being approved.
With this ploy, he was able to open $30 million in CDs prior to the USAA realizing the fraud. Beane paid off debts and purchased a $500,000 motor home, according to prosecutors. The routing transit number of the U.S. Federal Reserve was key in allowing him to pull off the financial stunt.

What Extras Would Make you Buy an Electric Vehicle?/
Over the last few years there is no doubt governments around the world have invested significant amounts of time, effort, and money into the electric vehicle market. We have seen massive growth in electric vehicle sales and while they have yet to crack the mass market, there is no doubt they are well on the way to doing so. Various surveys have shown us that there are literally millions of people around the world who are considering an electric vehicle but for some reason or another they are not yet over the line with regards to their value for money.
We will therefore take a look at what extras it might take for you to buy an electric vehicle and whether indeed governments around the world, and corporate entities, should look to throw in an array of freebies.
Home charging stations
There have been significant developments in the home charging arena with many companies now offering reliable, safe and affordable home charging stations. A number of the major players in the electric vehicle market are offering home charging stations at discounted prices, or in some cases free of charge and this is certainly an area which catches the eye of consumers. The ability to recharge your electric vehicle overnight, from home, could well play into the hearts and minds of many potential electric vehicle enthusiasts of the future. This one seems to be a no-brainer?
Quote from ElectricForum.com : "More and more people seem to be looking towards the mobile phone app as a means of communicating the location of the nearest charging stations for those with electric vehicles. Would you use an app to find the nearest charging station? Do you have any experience of mobile phone electric vehicle apps?"
Reduced insurance
One area which has yet to develop as many thought it would is the insurance of electric vehicles. Even though more and more insurance companies around the world are taking on board electric vehicles, and their growing popularity, there is not sufficient competition in the market as yet to force prices downwards. It therefore goes without saying that an offer of reduced insurance on your new electric vehicle, or indeed a period of free insurance, would not only assist with household budgets but would certainly catch the attention of would be EV buyers.
Servicing programmes
Perhaps an element of the electric vehicle market which has been overlooked by many is the cost of servicing electric vehicles. The fact that they have a fraction of the number of moving parts compared to their diesel/gasoline counterparts means them are significantly cheaper to service in theory. The problem at the moment seems to be a lack of qualified individuals who are able to service what are in effect electric devices, which has in many ways impacted the price of servicing electric cars. If you were to receive say 2 or 3 free services for an electric vehicle would this assist in your decision whether or not to purchase?
A number of surveys have confirmed that the vast majority of worldwide motorists have a growing confidence in electric vehicles but there seems to be one final hurdle to overcome. They seem to trust the technology but they may be concerned about recharging, the cost of insurance not being very competitive and servicing can be difficult. If electric vehicle manufacturer/retailers were able to offer an array of short-term freebies this may be enough to push many potential electric vehicle drivers over the edge and into the market?

John 11:1-44
1. Do you like to be in control? Why?
2. In what circumstances are you most likely to assume control?
3. Have you ever been disappointed with God? Is it hard to voice that disappointment, especially in church culture?
So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. John 11:6 ESV
You will face disappointment in life.
You will feel out of control at times.
So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house. Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you." John 11:20-22 ESV
Jesus allows disappointment.
Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled.
John 11:32-33 ESV
Jesus enters into the disappointment and brokenness.
He wades through it with us.
4. How is the gospel good news to those that are control freaks?
Jesus brings healing out of the disappointment.

The exhibition - almost 100 works loaned from Frankfurt's Stadel Museum - features works by household names such as Renoir, Rousseau, Degas, Picasso and Monet.
On the whole, the works are mostly by German and French painters. It includes landscapes in the Realist and Impressionist traditions, sculpture, exquisite portraits and Surrealist works. Themes covered range from the domestic, to biblical and social commentary.
The Council's Economic Portfolio Leader, Councillor Jo Coughlan, says it's well worth taking a few hours out of your day to check it out.
"Through rates, Wellingtonians have contributed to making this exhibition happen, so it's great to be able to give something back to our residents," says Cr Coughlan. "This kind of initiative helps our economy, too as Wellingtonians become ambassadors for our attractions.
"Major events and exhibitions such as this are a key factor in maintaining Wellington's position as New Zealanders' favourite destination and ensuring our visitors have an experience fitting of the 'coolest little capital in the world'."
Cr Coughlan says the free day for Wellington residents will be really busy and people should expect to queue.
"A certain amount of people will be let in to the space at any given time to avoid overcrowding. Thursday is also Te Papa's late night, so everyone has a chance to get to the exhibition," she says.
To gain free entry, Wellington City residents need to present proof of their residential or ratepayer's status, such as a bill or rates invoice showing their residential address. This offer does not apply to Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, Porirua or Kapiti residents.
Te Papa is open from 10.00am until 9.00pm on Thursdays. Last entry is at 8.30pm.
The exhibition is at Te Papa until Sunday 27 February. The usual admission charge is $22.50 for an adult.

One of my all-time favorite baristas is sort of easing back into the game after having run afoul of management's policy about, well, I was afraid to ask, to be honest. So he was out a couple of weeks. When I inquired about his whereabouts, I was met with sideways glances from skittish part-timers and… Continue Reading

When I first met this pair, I knew that this wedding was going to be awesome. Leah and Lorna are such a fun couple. We first met on a cornish beach for their engagement session. Before I knew it, they ran into the ocean fully dressed.
We all know that Life is too short. I can thank Leah and Lorna for being a reminder to me that we should live life and show so much love!
The wedding day was wonderful as I expected.
Featuring festive pjs in June (Sorry Sam, I had to mention it) Hilarious bridesmaids that would randomly brake into dance all day, The proudest Grandad ever (Check out the moment that he saw Leah in her dress below) A photobombing aunty, lots of tears (the good kind) and laughter. So much laughter!
A special mention to Ben and the kitchen and bar staff at Waterside. They looked after the guests and myself so well. Ben specifically went out of his way to make sure I was fed (and the food was so goooooood!) Such a great venue with a friendly team that I'd love to work alongside again.
One great tip that I'd like to share from this day. Leah and Lorna chose to have the speeches before their food. This way, all the nerves are gone before you eat and you can really enjoy your meal.
Thank you so much Leah, Lorna and your family and friends for making me feel, not like "he's just the photographer" but like a friend, family member and wedding guest (that takes kick ass photos)
Big loves xxx
In Leah's words(Including some super valuable advice)
Our story ...
We met at work, we both worked in the same place and we were friends for near enough 2 years before we decided to give things a go!
Lorna proposed to me on Pentewan Beach in May, it was a complete surprise I knew nothing about it! Pentewan is our favourite place to go so it makes it even more special that she proposed to me there.
Favourite moments from the day ...
Our favourite moments from the wedding were when we went off with Jamie and had our photos done, it was a chance that we got to spend a little bit of time together after the wedding! We also loved our first dance, again because it just felt so special to us and then seeing everyone boogieing in the evening and seeing some of the moves that people were pulling!!
Advice to other couples ...
make sure that you make time for yourselves, we set aside about half hour where we just went off away from everyone else after the ceremony and we could just breath and spend a little bit of time together as the new Mrs and Mrs!! Also we would say that you need to plan the wedding for yourselves and ignore what everyone else wants, it is your day and you want to look back at the photos and memories and think that you loved that part of the day because it was what you guys wanted!!!!
Please feel free to kick up your feet, crack open a bottle of beer (or if you are like me, pop the kettle on) and enjoy some of my favourite moments from Leah and Lornas wedding day …
Jamie's Favourite moments from Leah and Lornas Waterside Cornwall Wedding Day
Having Jamie as Your Wedding Photographer ...
Why did you decide to hire me as your wedding photographer?
You made us feel so at ease at our engagement shoot and that's exactly what we wanted for the big day!!
how would you describe your experience of working with me?
Amazing!! Relaxed, chilled and just all round fun and a laugh!! We loved having you as our photographer, you made everyone feel so relaxed and the feedback from our guests has just been amazing. You weren't in their faces, you made them laugh and enjoy having their photos taken.
What were your hesitations when it came to photography? What did you feel unsure about, what were you anxious of?
We're so not used to having photographs taken and can't say we like it either. But because you made it so fun, it didn't feel like we were in front of a camera and made it so much easier for us. We felt unsure about managing to get all the family to take the photos we wanted but again you made them feel at ease so they felt so much better about it!
What was awesome?
Not gunna lie, everything was awesome! But especially when we had just our photos taken. You got natural shots of us just being us. Letting us take time and not staging our photographs!
Was there anything that was not so awesome or could be improved?
Definitely not, we wouldn't change it for the world!!
Would you recommend me to others and what would you say to someone who is thinking of working with me?
100% we would recommend you!! We'd tell them that you're such a fun guy who loves a laugh and just to not feel nervous or anxious - the shots will be amazing and the day will be amazing.
Thank you soooooooooooo much Leah xxx
Lets have tea!
If you are planning a wedding at Waterside Cornwall (or anywhere in Cornwall, Devon or Beyond) and would like a wedding photographer who will put you at ease and let you be you on your wedding day, whilst capturing beautiful photographs. Then I think we we get along great!
Send me a message and we will meet up for a nice cuppa and a chat about your wedding photography (I'll provide the tea)

Background Description of real case:
The Eastern Han Dynasty portrait stelas have very high collection and archaeological value, and are the most precious relic in Feicheng city. At present, the copy method is rubbing on the stelas, but the rubbing needs glue and inks, which would corrode the original stelas, so it is necessary to scan it by 3D scanner and then make the copies of stelas according to scanned data, thereby, these two original stelas could be saved carefully.
The photo of portrait stela – figures are very light in color
No.1 stela: "The carriage and hoarsening on a journey "portrait stone
"The carriage and hoarsening on a journey "portrait stone was excavated in BeiDaLiu village, Shiheng town of Feicheng city, in 1975, has a size of 2.4 meter length, 0.6 meter height, in which there are 18 figures , 11 horses and 5 carriages in total, and inscribed " the deputy governor "," emperor carriage" and " on journey". The "emperor carriage ", symbol of the ruling class, was driving in the middle of troops. The man, wear high crown but in plain cloth, wide coat but narrow sleeves, sat in the carriage, surrounded by flag-bearers and carriage drivers in front , generals and bodyguards at backside. The troop drives forward with great strength and Vigor, and is commanding, which shows a great royal progress scene. The carving is a plane bas-relief and very fine, it is a typical masterpiece in Eastern Han dynasty.
No.2 stela
Size: around 1.6 meter length, 1mter height
Requirement from customer:
1.Collect high accurate digital 3D data
2.One cope of such digital 3D data shall be kept in the cultural relic management institute
Project implementation Difficulty:
1.The stela was destroyed much: surface lines are very light in color and mess; it is difficult to joint together.
2.It is not easy to move due to its weight, the scanning efficiency is low.
3.The color of stela is darker, but in consideration of cultural relic protection, it must not be sprayed with developer, so scanning is much more time-consuming.
Project implementation program
The old program from customer: copy these two stelas only by rubbing method, but it could corrode much the stelas.
Solutions from SHINING 3D: scan big scale of stela to get an overall data of stelas first, and then scan small scale of each section of stone tablet to get the accurate data.
Implementation of project:
Preparation: 1 day
Scanning time: 4.5 days per person
Processing of data: 4 days per person
Hardware equipment: OpticScan-D, the typical dual model 3D scanner from SHINING 3D
Project summary:
It shall scan small scale of each section of the stela by combining scanning big scale of stela so that scanning accuracy and details are guaranteed.
1.Scanning section by section
Small scale scanning could ensure its details; however, montage deviation of scanning big scale of stela is much, so it has to scan section by section on whole stela and join all imagines together into a whole by processing the data finally.
2.Two kinds of scanning range shall be combined
To ensure the scanning quality, scan the stela by each 400 scale on whole stela first, and then scan small section of each 200 scale on whole stela for details.
3.Integrity check of scanning data
All data shall be open for checking whether there is any section that missed to scan when the scanning is finished, if it is necessary, it has to scan the missed section again to ensure the integrity of scanning data.
3D data gotten from 3D scanning

I don't know about you, but my children are always hungry! They can have just polished off a huge roast dinner and they're already asking for the next thing, usually something sweet and sugary! I try very hard to make sure that my children eat healthy snacks at home and yet when we are out and about and it's a matter of convenience, a packet of crisps or a sugary cereal bar seems like the easiest option.
So when Ella's Kitchen announced their new toddler snack range, aimed at children 12 months and over, we were all very excited to try them! The snacks are all totally organic with no added refined sugar or salt, no concentrates, additives or colourings, and the range includes –
- Parsnip & poppyseed savoury biscuits
- Carrot & Lentil crunchy sticks
- Cheese & Leek crunchy wheels
- Raisin & Oat cookies
- Banana & Raisin oaty fingers
- Strawberry & Apple oaty fingers
I was interested to learn that Ella's Kitchen have recently collaborated with selected Odeon Cinema's to allow film goers to sample their new range. Unfortunately none of our local cinemas were taking part in this event, yet the lovely people at Ella's Kitchen were kind enough to send us some samples of our own. And given the fact that there are no better testers than my little snackers, a day out to Formby was a great opportunity to try them this weekend.
Whilst Eva and her sweet tooth were all about the cookies, Megan couldn't wait to try the crunchie wheels.
I tried one of each and unlike other toddler snacks I have tried previously, I could easily have finished the whole bag!
Harry loved the banana and raisin oaty fingers, and given that he is just about the fussiest three year old I have ever met, that speaks volumes!
The snacks were a huge success with the children, and we will definitely be taking more of them on our days out. With the snacks coming in multi packs as well as single packets, they are perfect for my little ones.

I'm a fan and have been for a long time now. A Randy Shull fan, that is.
A fan of his paintings, his furniture and of his design work which includes most recently his multi-year re-design of the Black Mountain Museum + Art Center in Asheville, North Carolina.
All of Randy's varied work shares a fundamental strength—a cogency of concept and shape, not only beautiful but also deeply intelligent.
In addition to these many talents, Randy is also a traveler. And that brings me to today's post.
Randy spent August 2016 in Prague participating in an artist residency program that is jointly sponsored by the American Embassy and the Czech Ministry of Culture.
When Randy and I saw each of recently at a Weatherspoon Art Museum event we discussed Prague as a city of surprises.
The truth is that many of us think we know the real Prague. That it is a sweet and appealing jewel box of a city—heartbreakingly beautiful but perhaps just a bit frozen in time.
Ah, but there is so much more. Historical jewel box, yes, spared from the destructions of World War II as was no other European capital, but also a living breathing city, modern, vibrant and humming with cultural life.
As evidence of this one need look no further than Randy's photographs and video taken during his recent visit. They run the gamut from the Royal Gardens to the city's justly celebrated Cubist architecture (this one with a nod to one of her most celebrated native sons—Kafka) to the DOX Center for Contemporary Art, making it clear--Prague literally spans centuries.
The video above gives a view of the courtyard of the Bubec Sculpture Studio, founded by the Czech Republic's foremost sculptor, Cestmir Suska, and host site for Shull's month-long residency.
Come to Prague with us next May and you will see for yourself. It is a wonderful city, packed full of surprises...

"An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels."
As I was having my devotions today I began a study of the Proverbs 31 woman. I was struck with a heavy heart to begin praying for my daughters, and the special girls I love as daughters. I wanted to share my heart I hope you are blessed with these thoughts from Scripture as I was.
My Heavenly Father,
May my daughters grow to be excellent wives. Help them to understand that being excellent in Your eyes is greater than any riches. May my daughters live lives with true purpose. A life that has weight to it. Not a life that is filled with things that are empty or without purpose. But a life that is worth more than jewels. A life that will stand the test of eternity. May their lives be invested in the work of Christ and not in a life that will pass away with no value.
Lord I pray for the future spouses of my daughters. May they value my daughters because they value You. May they value the right things for a wife, not looks, or even personality, but may they value them for their excellence in the Lord. May their future spouse value my daughters because a good wife is better than riches. May my daughters and their future spouse grow to value marriage and purity as You do and that you would be glorified in their marriage and in their lives.
After posting an article yesterday regarding homeschooling my husband brought the following article to my attention. I was very shocked. What do you think?
Drill Characterizes "Disgruntled" Second Amendment Advocates as Terrorists
I read an interesting article today. Thought I would share.
This past weekend my husband and I joined the ranks and became a part of the homeschooling community. I guess technically we will start next year when we actually begin teaching our four year old in Kindergarten, but we went to our first homeschooling conference this past weekend so I thought that might count.
I am new to homeschooling. I grew up going to Christian and public school. My husband is the homeschooling veteran, being homeschooled 1st -8th grades. I must say I was very impressed by the spirit of the conference. Humility.
Before our children were born, we knew we would one day homeschool our children. Moving across the street from the local public elementary school confirms that every day. (Between the school's failing record for the past 10 years, and the random fist fights that break out in the school yard it's a no brainer.) We have been very prayerful about the decision to homeschool. We understand the pitfalls of home education. One of the major ones being PRIDE. It is very easy to start patting yourself on the shoulder for how great your children are. After all, you are the one educating them. But the conference did a great job of humbling me.
The spirit of the conference was a reflection on my responsibility as a parent to grow my children in the Lord. And this is something that every parent is responsible for regardless of the choice of education. Deuteronomy 6:4-7 "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I comman you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up."
I was reminded that my first and greatest responsibility to my child is to teach them to love God. Whether they are the best at math, or can read by the time they are four isn't the goal. If when they take the standardized test and make it to the 99% percentile, but have no love for God and others than I have failed. After all, the reason I choose to keep them home is so that I can teach them Christ right?
The second truth I was humbled by was that my responsibility is to educate their soul. Not just with God's word, although as I said above that is first, but the truth that all subjects (not just the Bible) are sacred. In other words, I am teaching math, science, reading, literature, history, not just so my children can use them to get a college degree so they can have a well paying job, but I am teaching them these subjects to enrich their souls. Interesting isn't it. The speaker of one of the workshops said, "Show me a person's education, and I will show you their view of man." The speaker made a direct link from our current education system to our cultures view of man. If man has a soul, then we will appeal to the soul when we teach. We will teach them to think logically so that they will have a better view of God, themselves, and the world around them. However, if man is just a body, then we will teach our children to only develop outward skills for the sole purpose of earning a living.
As Christians, our responsibility is greater than a job. We understand that our purpose in life extends past the physical. We want to teach these subjects to the soul. Regardless of what job this lands them or if they go to college in 12 years is irrelevant. I want my child to see all subjects in light of their Creator so that they will have a deeper understanding of who they are, who God is, and enjoy the world that is around them.
So, now you can see why I was humbled. But at the same time I am excited. I am looking forward to starting this journey with my children. I know I won't just be teaching them, but I will be learning myself. And I can't wait.
In the past I posted a link to My Blessed Life and 16 Homemade Valentines Ideas. I was contacted and asked if I had any Valentine's inspired ideas for a couple's party. So for you, Jennifer, and anyone else who might want some ideas.
1. Hearts – Make individual heart shaped pizzas (each couple can custom make their own), heart shaped veggies, and of course, heart shaped desserts like decorated cookies, chocolates, and even maybe some hot chocolate with a heart shaped dollop of whipped cream as the topping.
2. Candlelight – Even though there are multiple couples coming to dinner does not mean you can't enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner. Set your lighting and decorate your table with some beautiful candles. Have a Valentine ready to send home with each couple describing why you appreciate them as friends. You can even include a rose with each note.
3. Kids- Sometimes it is hard to find babysitting. Why not have a wonderful Kids Valentine's Party. Make those special crafts as families complete with heart shaped grilled cheese, and a cupcake decorating station. If you don't bring the kids or don't have kids you can still have fun being a kid again.
4. Memories – Another great idea is to have your guests bring their wedding albums to the party. You can spend time sharing memories. If the couples you are inviting are not married you can always have a time sharing first dates or best date nights, or even share worst date nights.
I hope some of these ideas have inspired you. Please feel free to share some ideas that you have used in the past.
My Thanksgiving was awesome thank you for asking!
We started our day by going to our church's Thanksgiving praise service. As always, it is one of the highlights of my year. It is always a good way to reset my mind for the day. To remember that it is God who provides all and it is to God that I should be giving thanks for the food, family, and even the money that I am planning on spending during the Black Friday sales.
So, how was your Thanksgiving?
One more thing I wanted to share. Our menu. I thought about sharing this before Thanksgiving but I wanted to try it first. Let me just say, these recipes are amazing and so I can't help but share them with you now. Maybe you can use them in time for Christmas or one of the many parties you might be throwing this Christmas season.
Here is my turkey. Looks amazing doesn't it. Here is the recipe for the turkey.
Pumpkin cheesecake with a brownie crust
Pumpkin cake with caramel cream cheese frosting
These made awesome additions to my table. If you make any of these please let me know how they turned out for you.

* Shares up 5.27 percent at C$43.74
* Company forecasts stronger uranium sales in 2011
* Sees more long-term contracts with China
(Adds detail, CEO comments)
By Julie Gordon
TORONTO, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Shares of Cameco Corp (CCO.TO) rose more than 6 percent on Monday, after the uranium producer reported higher-than-expected earnings and its chief executive highlighted growing demand from China for nuclear fuel.
China is building 25 nuclear reactors and plans for more as part of its ambitious strategy to expand nuclear power output by 2020, Cameco Chief Executive Jerry Grandey said during a call with investors.
The Canadian-based uranium producer signed long-term supply contracts with the two top power utilities in China in 2010.
"I think over time we would expect to attain additional supply contracts with China," said Grandey. "And frankly look at expanding the relationship in other areas as well."
Cameco plans to double annual uranium production to 40 million pounds a year by 2020, with production of 21.9 million pounds in 2011.
"That's the best guess of what we could do in 2011," said Grandey of the target. "One always hopes you can do better, as we did in 2010."
The Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-based company produced 22.8 million pounds of uranium in 2010.
Over the next five years, the company plans to expand production at its mines in the United States, as well as from its Inkai project in Kazakhstan.
Cameco also sees the Cigar Lake mine, which flooded in 2006, coming online in 2013 with limited production.
Cameco reported a lower net profit late on Friday, but fourth-quarter earnings were up 12 percent after stripping out the impact of a one-time 2009 gain.
The uranium producer's underlying profit benefited from higher uranium prices and lower production costs, easily beating analyst expectations.
"Cameco remains the leader in the uranium industry," said RBC Capital Markets analyst H. Fraser Phillips in a note to clients. "We believe the shares will continue to benefit from strong uranium markets and have further upside potential."
Cameco said it would boost sales in 2011 to 31 million to 33 million pounds of uranium, versus 29.6 million pounds in 2010.
Analysts expect demand for uranium to stay strong throughout 2011 as Asia builds more reactors, and nuclear power gains in popularity around the world.
Cameco's shares rose as much as 6.58 percent to C$44.28 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Monday, before falling back slightly to C$43.74.

(ST. JOSEPH) – Patients now have the ability to consult with a physician using their Lakeland MyChart account as part of a new telehealth initiative offered at Southwestern Medical Clinics in Bridgman, Niles, and Stevensville, as well as Stagg Medical Center in Hartford. E-visits are currently available for patients suffering from low-intensity complaints, such as back pain, pink eye, cough, heartburn, and similar ailments.
"Health care is changing faster than ever and we are always looking for new ways to engage our patients and provide the highest quality, most convenient forms of care," said Kendall Troyer, Vice President of Outpatient Diagnostic and Post-Acute Care Services, Lakeland Health. "Research shows that consumers increasingly expect 'on-demand' care and would prefer emailing their provider about their symptoms even when the clinic is conveniently located."
After an e-visit is initiated, patients complete a questionnaire regarding their symptoms and within one business day a physician will assess their condition, provide treatment options, and if needed, send a prescription to the pharmacy of their choice. Providers utilizing e-visits will charge a $35 out-of-pocket fee per visit. The first Lakeland Health e-visit was recently completed by family physician, James Kroeze, DO, and was initiated by a patient suffering from back pain.
Pediatrician and Medical Director, Chris Harvey, MD, discusses the new treatment option in a video available here:

Insider secrets: How financial advisers make money on your investments (updated!)
Fully updated January 2018
[Estimated reading time: 4 minutes 34 seconds - read while your cup of tea brews to perfection]
We've all seen them, haven't we?
Those sharp-suited-sports-car-driving-so-called international financial advisers...
Wondering where their endless wads of cash come from?
I'm sorry, you won't like the answer...
...because their cash comes from you.
No, you're wrong Sam, I never signed a cheque to my 'adviser'
Can't recall signing a cheque to your 'adviser' - that's because you didn't...
The way these 'advisers' - - read salespeople - - are paid is far from explicit.
Their payments are often masked as various types of account and investment charges.
These are often gradually deducted from you over many years.
If you try and get out of any affected investment you've been sold, you'll find you're locked in until your adviser has eked out their last penny in commission.
Here's how financial salespeople take your money...
The first bite
One of the most popular products these salespeople favour is the good old offshore investment bond.
Here are independent reviews of these types of bond, from providers including Old Mutual International, Friends Provident International, Generali Worldwide and RL360 Insurance Company.
You'll see that in most cases the bonds are fine...it's the way they are sold that's the problem.
When the salesperson sells you the bond, they can receive 8% in commission - upfront - from the bond provider.
You pay this 8%...because you pay an annual establishment charge, typically around 0.85% to 1.5% per year, for up to 10 years!
If you try and escape the shackles of your offshore bond before paying off all these charges, they're clawed back from you, resulting in horrible penalties, a staggering lack of flexibility or both.

The second bite
If your salesperson also recommended the investments wrapped up in your bond, (they probably did), they can also take a great big bite out of your wealth in the form of the investments' initial charges.
These are typically 4 to 8%.
On some investments, such as structured product and hedge funds, they can be even higher.
This is either directly deducted from your original investment...
Or 'back-end loaded'...
That's jargon that means it's taken as a percentage each year for a period of years, just like the bond itself (thereby accentuating your structure's lack of flexibility).
The story so far:
- You invest £100,000
- Your exceptionally attentive 'adviser' receives at least £12,000 of that
- I say 'at least', because in stark reality they could receive significantly more
- Once all the smoke and mirrors have been deployed, it's not impossible for them to take upwards of £17,000 commission on your £100,000 bond
- That's a devastating £17,000 or more of every £100,000 you invest
The third bite
That's not the whole story...
The product provider and the investment company need to be paid as well.
So, once everything's added up, it's not unusual for an expat investor like you to lose £88,000 in charges over twenty years on a £100,000 original investment.
Want to know more?
We've written a digestible guide to the indigestible facts.
What do you get for the fees you pay?
Paying a little extra to get something of quality can make sense...a well-built car, an well-made suit...
So, do you get something of quality for the exorbitant charges you pay your salesperson for an offshore investment bond?
No you do not!
Not only do you lose so much money in fees, charges, costs and commission, you're likely to end up with an entirely unsuitable portfolio, which won't make any real gains for years – if ever.
A final point to consider...
Different financial products and investments pay different levels of commission to financial salespeople.
Given the choice between a good investment that pays them low commission and a bad investment that pays much higher commission, which will a salesperson recommend?
The answer is not only obvious, but backed by an abundance of evidence:
Many well-regulated countries ensure investors get full commission disclosure. And some countries have banned commission because it can lead to worse outcomes for investors.
Offshore investment bonds are hugely popular with expats. Allegedly, their popularity is due to the tax benefits they offer. Arguably however, those benefits are usually irrelevant for investors living in low or no-tax jurisdictions - like the UAE.
What cannot be argued is that a bond allows an adviser to receive two or, in some cases, three sets of commission. One from the bond provider, perhaps one from a pension wrapped in the bond, and finally one from the investment company.
Many offshore investment bonds are stuffed full of 'alternative', opaque and usually high-risk investments (such as hedge funds and structured products). Again, it's arguable whether those products are the best option for the majority of investors.
What cannot be argued is that those investments tend to pay much more generous commissions than mainstream ones.

Ask yourself this one question - are you building someone else's wealth – or your own?
If you have even the slightest suspicion that your 'adviser' got a better deal than you, we'd be more than happy to help you uncover the truth.
No cost.
No obligation.
Just the facts you need to make a well-informed decision for the benefit of your financial well-being.

Q's Daily DIY Green Tips: Why Compost
When you throw things in the trash, think about what you are disposing. Landfills in the US are filling up at an alarming rate, and in many areas garbage is shipped elsewhere because they are reaching capacity - a double negative on the environment. Aside from recycling, start a home compost heap. Waste such as egg shells, and just about anything organic can go in there. If it was alive at some point, it will likely compost. This soil can be used to cultivate a home garden providing soil rich in nutrients. By creating a little landfill in your backyard, you might not have a big one there some day.
