Two Temple Place
Two Temple Place, known for many years as Astor House, is a building situated near Victoria Embankment in central London.[1] It is known for its architecture, and contains notable works by the likes of William Silver Frith, Sir George Frampton RA, Nathaniel Hitch and Thomas Nicholls.[2][3][4][5]
On 28 October 2011, Two Temple Place opened as a public gallery. It is a London venue specifically to showcase publicly owned art from regional collections in the United Kingdom, and is only open to the public during exhibitions.[1][6]

The building was built on Temple Place by John Loughborough Pearson for William Waldorf Astor, in 1895. Originally known as the Astor Estate Office, it had a residential flat above the offices for Viscount Astor's use (Pevsner). It consists of two floors and a lower ground floor and is designed to be in the Early Elizabethan style and is built entirely of Portland stone. It has splendid carvings on the exterior stonework by Nathaniel Hitch.[5] and above the machicolated parapets is a weather vane, representing the caravel Santa Maria in which Columbus sailed to America.
The intention was to symbolize the connection of the path of discovery of his ancestor John Jacob Astor and the linking of United States and Europe.[7] It was executed by J. Starkie Gardner, the English metal worker, who was responsible for all metalwork inside and outside the building.[5][8]
John Dibblee Crace, one of a family of interior decorators, decorated the interior of Two Temple Place for Astor in the style of French Renaissance from about 1892 to 1895. He also decorated Astor's home in Cliveden.[9] In what had been a bedroom, Astor had the walls paneled with "precious woods" and the ceiling gilded.[10]
William Waldorf Astor[edit]
William Waldorf Astor, founder of the famed New York City Waldorf Astoria, owned the gothic mansion[nb 1] on the Victoria Embankment overlooking the River Thames. He built or renovated the home[nb 2] that was to become a "crenellated Tudor stronghold" with three things in mind. It would be his office and it had residential space, supporting his desire to create a home away from the United States[nb 3] where he felt his children would be safer from the threat of kidnapping. Second, he had the wealth to support his vision for an opulent home for himself and his family – and his extensive collections of art work, musical instruments and books. And, lastly, he wanted the building to be both his home and offices for managing his holdings.[1][6][7][14][nb 4]
The building is described by Donald Strachan as follows:
Behind the sturdy Portland stone facade, the interior has a slight strange Victoriana-meets-Disney vibe with the otherwise straightforwardly opulent rooms (lots of marble and mahogany) adorned with bizarre details, such as the characters from The Three Musketeers (Astor's favorite book) on the banisters of the main staircase and the gilded frieze in the Great Hall showing 54 seemingly random characters from history and fiction, including Pocahontas, Machiavelli, Bismark, Anne Boleyn, and Marie Antoinette.[14]
The architect was John Loughborough Pearson, often called the founder of Modern Gothic architecture.[15] With seemingly unlimited funds at his disposal Pearson was able to design a lavish building with the assistance of eminent craftsmen.[6] John Thompson & Sons Ltd of Peterborough were the builders. After Pearson's death, his son Frank Loughborough Pearson (1864–1947) continued his work on Two Temple Place when the building required some alterations under the ownership of Sun Life of Canada. For these alterations many of the original craftsmen were used again, including Nathaniel Hitch, as well as the original builder.[16]
Intermediate owners[edit]
Since the Astor family sold the house it has had various owners: Sun Life of Canada owned the building from 1919 to 1928, who named it Sun of Canada House. In 1928 it was purchased by the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors naming it the Incorporated Accountants Hall. On 19 February 1929 the building was opened as the "Head Office of the Society" by H.R.H. the Duke and Duchess of York.[17] Smith & Nephew purchased the building in 1960 which served as its headquarters.[18]
On 24 July 1944 the building, named "Astor House" at the time, was hit by a German flying bomb, which caused considerable damage to the house, including burst plumbing that resulted in some flooding, damaging expensive works of art, including works by William Silver Frith. The building, called "Accountants Hall" on the damage report, was deemed as suitable to be "partially demolished" and was fully restored between 1949 and 1951.[11][19]
The Bulldog Trust[edit]
It is now managed and preserved by The Bulldog Trust, a charitable organization, and is hired out for personal and functions. It opened to the public as a gallery in October 2011.[1]
Two Temple Place gallery[edit]
Bulldog Trust, a charitable foundation, manages Two Temple Place, which is available to the public to view its collections and, for revenue generation, is hired out.[1] On 28 October 2011, Two Temple Place opened as the first London venue to specifically showcase publicly owned art from UK regional collections.
The first exhibition to launch the building was in collaboration with the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow. Titled William Morris: Story, Memory, Myth, the exhibition looked at how William Morris told stories through pattern and poetry and examined the tales that were most important to him, such as the works of Geoffrey Chaucer, Norse saga, Arthurian legend and Greek myth.[1][6][14]
The forecourt and portico[edit]
One enters the building through some fine iron gates that lead onto a paved forecourt and lawn with an arcaded boundary wall on one side and on the other a portico designed by Frith.[5] Balustraded stone steps lead up to the main door, these steps being flanked on either side by two magnificent bronze lamp standards featuring the figures of two small mischievous-looking boys.[5] These cherubs by Frith, with one conversing through a telephone, celebrate the then new age of telecommunication and electricity.[20]
The other cherub on the left side of the stairs holds up a globe.
The vestibule[edit]
Through the entrance doors one enters a stone-lined vestibule with carvings in the early Renaissance style and inside this vestibule there is a War Memorial Stone remembering those members of The Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors who died in the 1914–18 war, this unveiled by the Duke of York and a Commemoration stone recording the Hall's opening by Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of York on 19 February 1929.[5]
The floor is the work of Robert Davison and is a mixture of marble, jasper, porphyry and onyx all laid in geometrical patterns. This is known as "opus alexandrinum". It was Davison who was responsible for all the marble work in the house.[5] There is a similar floor in Westminster Abbey. The staircase is made of oak and mahogany.[1]
The main staircase and gallery[edit]
The main staircase rises up from the Staircase Hall to the Gallery on the first floor and comprises three flights of stairs. The staircase has seven mahogany carvings by Thomas Nicholls on the newel posts, these representing characters from Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers, which, it seem, was Astor's favourite novel.[5]
Nicholls' characters include D'Artagnan himself, Madame Bonacieux, Aramis, shown slipping of a scholar's gown and at the same time reading a love letter, Milady, Bazin, Athos and Porthos. Bazin, the valet to Aramis, was a studious person who later became a lay brother. Nicholls carves him brushing his master's clothes while studying theology.[5]
Thomas Nicholls' frieze and carvings[edit]
"Rip Van Winkle" and characters from The Last of the Mohicans and The Scarlet Letter are depicted in a frieze in the main hall.[7] This frieze was also executed by Thomas Nicholls. Two of the figures are from the Leatherstocking novels of James Fenimore Cooper, the first being The Last of the Mohicans the nickname of Uncas, a leading character in the book. The second statue is that of "The Pathfinder", one of the names given to Leatherstocking (otherwise Natty Bumppo). Next Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter is represented by Hester Prynne and the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale. The two remaining characters are Washington Irving's Rip Van Winkle and his daughter. At the feet of Rip Van Winkle is his dog and at those of his daughter is the gnomes' keg of liquor, the drinking of which had sent Van Winkle into his long slumber and freedom from his bothersome wife for 20 years![5]
The staircase hall is overlooked by a gallery that features statues made by Nicholls, having American literary associations, and a frieze in relief which features 82 characters from Shakespeare's Othello, Henry VIII,[1][21] Antony and Cleopatra and Macbeth. Around this gallery are ten pillars of solid ebony. The statues are positioned on six of the carved oak panels which surmount these pillars. The ceiling of the staircase Hall and Gallery is in stained glass, coved and panelled.[5]
The Great Hall[edit]
Study or library[edit]
Astor's study, located off the gallery and overlooking the Thames, held his vast collection of collectible books and art. It was also home to business meetings.[1][7] The room was described by a London area architect thus:
There is no more curious room in London than this hall which was intended by its creator to be a sort of temple to culture and expresses in a curious way his own tastes in art and literature.[7]
From the pencil cedar panel walls, 35-foot mahogany ceilings and doors, Astor adorned the room with Spanish mahogany paneling, carving, such as the Four Musketeers and decorations. Accoutrements of the room included marble floors, Persian rugs, chandeliers, and portraits of himself and his ancestors.[1][7] Located by his desk in the library was a spinning wheel of New England.[7]
Sir George Frampton's panels[edit]
The entrance door to the Great Hall is made of mahogany, has a beautifully carved head and nine decorative panels in silver gilt by Sir George James Frampton. These panels, which were exhibited at the Royal Academy prior to installation in the house, depict in low relief the nine heroines of the Arthurian Legend, to Thomas Malory's version, of which Tennyson gave a new interpretation. The first two panels depict the "Lady of the Isle of Avelyon" and "Elaine" ("The lily maid of Astolat"). The third, fourth and fifth panels depict "The Lady of the Lake", "Morgan le Fay" and "Guinevere" (for whom "A man had given all other bliss/And all his worldly worth for this/To waste his whole heart in one kiss/Uopn her perfect lips"). The sixth, seventh and eighth panels depict "La Beale Isoude", "Lyonors" and "Enid". The ninth and final panel depicts "Alis la Beale Pilgrim".[5]
Nathaniel Hitch's frieze[edit]
The Great Hall extends the whole length of the building on the river front. The walls are panelled in pencil cedar and surmounted by a frieze in which fifty-four portraits of the heads of characters famous in history and fiction, have been modelled, carved in low relief and then gilded. These 54 portraits are by the sculptor Nathaniel Hitch. The Hall is 35 feet high to the ridge and open to a hammer-beam type roof, a notable example of modern Gothic timber work made from carved Spanish mahogany.[1][7]
The frieze portraits include Juliet, Queen Louise of Prussia and Richard Coeur de Lion[5]
Above the frieze and standing within tracery canopies under the roof principals are twelve carved figures from literature, including Ivanhoe, Robin Hood and Maid Marion.[22] At either end of the Great Hall are carved pencil cedar chimney pieces and at one end there are some bench ends carved by Hitch these being fine examples of his work. Photographs of these carvings are included in the album of photographs of Hitch's work held at the Henry Moore Archive in Leeds.
Stained-glass windows[edit]
At the eastern and western ends of the Great Hall are stained-glass windows. One of these is called A Swiss Summer Landscape and is the work of Clayton and Bell.[23] Clayton and Bell often collaborated with John Loughborough Pearson, their other work including the stained-glass windows at Truro Cathedral.[24]
- ^ There are also source that say that he built the place.
- ^ One source says that he commissioned an extensive $1.5 million renovation. And another says that he built the building for £250,000.[11]
- ^ By this time Astor had few emotional ties to the United States. By 1895, his parents and wife Mamie (d. December 1894) were both dead and he was at odds with family members. Being one of the richest men in the world, he had the capability of developing a sumptuous new life in England.[12][13]
- ^ Astor was extremely security conscious, fearing for kidnapping of his children and enduring harm himself. With a touch of a button, Astor could bar and lock all windows and entrances of his home. He kept guns in his home for protection. This was at least partly as a result Astor having met with an Italian fortune-teller during a visit to Rome who had warned him of danger that he might endure.[7] Another of his homes, Hever Castle, had its drawbridge brought up each night.[1]

Although Grenada's passport offers the unique features of granting visa-free travel to China as well as access to the United States via the E2 treaty program, interest in the country's Citizenship by Investment Programme Greneda for many years remained sluggish, its potential somehow untapped. Perhaps even more impressive, the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Committee (CBIC), has been managing this growth even as they've been without a CEO for a very long time. Asked to explain the tremendous growth in program interest, Andrea St Bernard, Managing Partner of Henley & Partners Grenada, chalks it up mainly to improved and expanded marketing. "Following an official launch last November, Henley & Partners has spent considerable effort marketing the Grenada CBI program globally, highlighting its unique aspects Good marketing of a great program has resulted in a rising profile for Grenada and increasing interest from prospective applicants," remarked St Bernard.

LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great matters, nor with things too profound for me. Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and forever. (Psalm 131 NKJV)
My heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. David recognizes and states his true spiritual condition; that of being poor in spirit. The word haughty as used here in the Hebrew means to be high, exalted, and arrogant. It describes anything that is literally tall or high. David is saying that he has not built himself up in his pride; he is not seeing himself as anything other than a man who hopes in the Lord and trusts only in Him. As king it would be easy for David to be exalted in his own opinion of himself because of his position as the leader of the nation that brings with it a natural level of stature and respect of the people. But as he addresses the nation in this psalm, rather than looking above or over the people, he looks at them with a sense of unworthiness of his own position before the living God; a position of the need of the LORD to be in control. David sees himself as a man of great limitations. David is a sinner and admits it as his heart is lowly. Before God David has a proper sense of his proportion in relation to the LORD.
Being a man poor in spirit David goes on to state: Neither do I concern myself with great matters, nor with things too profound for me. These great matters and wonderful things are the ways and plans of man – pure worldly endeavors devised on earth, not in heaven. These plans come from man's pride and high view of his own abilities rather than from his humility. These plans are a sign of his arrogant rebellion against God rather than his humble submission to the Lord. We are continually taught in the Western culture that everything is possible for us. Modern man says in his pride that nothing is impossible; we can do anything through our own effort and hard work. David sees things as they are: the work is not our concern because the work is the Lord's. Our concern is to submit to His will and become poor in spirit.
With a humble, proper sense of himself, being poor in spirit, David is ready to see God as He truly is. David can enter true rest. Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-29) David came to the same place in this psalm as he says: Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul. David sees things clearly and can become calm and quiet before the Lord. David then describes the sense that he has of himself: Like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. Here David finds true contentment. David had become like a more mature child who knows rest and security in the presence of his mother. David's soul is at rest because he is poor in spirit.
O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and forever. The ultimate declaration of the man who is poor in spirit is to place hope in the Lord and not in the hands of the self, or any other man. This is a continual place of blessing for the Believer as he hopes forever in the LORD.
Read and pray through Psalm 131 putting you in the place of David. Pray that the Holy Spirit can develop in you this character of becoming poor in spirit.

Wall Street rallied shares of Amazon.com in early trading after the company posted a much smaller loss than expected and said it would acquire three Internet companies to help it expand into new markets.
The online bookseller's stock shot up more than 10 percent in the first half hour of trading to 91-7/16, up 8-11/16 from yesterday's close of 82-3/4.
In addition, Amazon yesterday reported a 2-for-1 stock split and posted a net loss for the first quarter ended March 31 of $9.26 million, or 40 cents per share.
That's narrower than a net loss of $9.33 million, or 41 cents per share, reported for the previous quarter ending December 31, but wider than the net loss of $3.04 million or 16 cents per share reported for the first quarter in 1997. Amazon posted revenue of $87.4 million for the latest quarter, up 446 percent over the same period last year.
Analysts were expecting red ink of 47 cents a share for the latest quarter, according to Briefing.com.
The company said it is acquiring Bookpages, a large online bookseller in Britain, and Telebook, Germany's No. 1 online bookstore, to better enter online markets in Europe. It will leverage its third acquisition, Internet Movie Database, in an effort to support its eventual entry into online video sales.
"Now is the time to invest again aggressively to extend our reach," said Joy Covey, chief financial officer for Amazon.com.
The acquisitions are only Amazon.com's latest attempt to expand its online offerings. Just last week, Amazon gave its first public indication that it was planning to move into the online music sales market. The company is now asking visitors to its Web site for input on the "music store of their dreams" but has given no indication as to how soon such a store might be launched. Similarly, Amazon didn't say how soon it might offer video sales or increased services in Europe.
The Net bookseller said it will incur total charges of about $55 million in connection with the acquisitions, which were paid for with a combination of cash and common stock. Amazon said it would issue an aggregate of about 540,000 shares of common stock but did not say how much it was paying for each acquisition.
Reflecting its red-hot stock valuation, Amazon.com said its directors had approved the 2-for-1 split of common shares, which becomes payable June 1 to shareholders of record as of May 20.
The online book giant, which went public last May at $18 a share, has traded as high as $100. It closed yesterday at $82.75, down more than 2 points. Despite its high-flying stock price, the company has yet to report a profit, a characteristic typical of many Internet-related companies.

By now several of you have heard me say that in Karate Black Belt is the beginning of the journey, or you don't really have a rank until Black Belt. Well I thought that it was high time that I explained that concept.
For starters, lets look at the concept very literally.
In traditional karate there are two types of "rank" that a student can have. There are "kyu" (prounouced key-ew) and there are "dan" (pronounced don). Kyu translates to mean grade, similar in concept to grades achieve in primary school. Dan translates as grade, level or rank. In our system of grading Kyu count down from 10 to 1 with the lower number signifying the higher seniority. It is similar to the way that in the military a 1st lieutenant is senior to a 2nd Lieutenant.
Dan ranks go up from 1 – 10. Again the corollary can be made to the military in that a 4 star general is senior to a 1 star general. When a student reaches black belt they are called a shodan (sho -don) or literally a person of the first rank. In our system is not until 2nd degree black belt, or nidan (knee – don) that a student has learned the entirety of our basic curriculum. Then it is not until 3rd degree that a student is of sufficient seniority to promote another person to Black Belt.
Conceptually, the the premise is that it takes a person several years (until they reach black belt) to put their mind, body and spirit into a condition where they can apply their basic principles effectively. Techniques at this point, cease to be a matter of thought and mechanical action and start to become a matter of reflex. It is at this point that the student has sufficient foundation to learn to apply the techniques and principles that they have been practicing for the years leading up to this point. Additionally, it is at this time that the student begins to appreciate the often dangerous potential that their skills have. With this realization comes a new level of responsibility and (hopefully) humility on the part of the student.
A dedicated student will from this point, spend the rest of their lives refining their skills, and themselves as an individual. The hope is that one day you reach the elusive concept of mastery. The mastery we seek thought goes far beyond martial skill. It is a total mastery of self. It is for this reason that the highest ranking person in our system is regarded as Hanshi (Han – She), or model person (gentlemen, or samurai). Though we at times Americanize this title to mean "grandmaster." The true meaning is far deeper.
Interesting thing is most Hanshi will tell you that reaching that level of personal proficiency (9th or 10th degree black belt) returns them to a single undeniable notion…They are still as student. So in someways the beginning (10th kyu) and the end (10th dan) are endlessly linked in the journey of the student. It is for this reason that you will never here me say "we are a black belt school." We strive to be something much more than that.

To collect the egress interface data, type collect interface output.
Complete your flow record configuration by entering the following commands:
collect counter bytes
collect counter packets
collect timestamp sys-uptime first
and collect timestamp sys-uptime last.
If your device supports Cisco NBAR2 or Next Generation NBAR, add the collect application name command to the flow record.
If you're using Border Gateway Protocol (or BGP) in your environment, add the following commands to collect AS information: collect routing source as and collect routing destination as.
The next step is to create the flow exporter.
The flow exporter stores information for export, such as the IP address of your flow analyzer tool in SolarWinds® NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, the UDP port for export, and so on.
Enter the command, flow exporter NTAExport. Again, you can name the exporter whatever you want.
The IP address specifies your SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer server. So for this example, type destination 10.199.15.103.
Next, you'll need to identify the interface that's used to export NetFlow packets from the router. The command is source gigabitEthernet 0/1.
Make sure your interface has a path to your NTA server.
Next, add the port number. We will type transport UDP 2055 because that's the default port used by SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer to listen for network packets.
Next, add the flow protocol type and/or version: export-protocol netflow-v9.
For Flexible NetFlow or NetFlow v9, the template and flow data are exported in two separate packets. By default, the template is exported every 30 minutes. To process the data, the template needs to be available to prevent any gaps in data if the server reboots or the NetFlow service is restarted.
You can avoid this problem by adding the command template data timeout 60 to set the template to export every minute.
If your device supports Cisco NBAR2 or Next Generation NBAR, and you added collect application name in the flow record, add the following commands to the flow exporter:
option application-table timeout 60
option application-attributes timeout 300
Creating a flow monitor or NetFlow cache is pretty easy. We will call it NTAMonitor.
Enter the command flow monitor NTAMonitor.
Next, associate the flow record and exporter to the flow monitor we created earlier.
Enter the command record NTArecord followed by exporter NTAexport.
To prevent gaps and spikes in your data, set the cache timeout values. This tells the router how frequently flow record information is exported to your analyzer tool. The default setting is 30 minutes. If you use the default setting, your flow data will be delayed, and you will miss link saturation.
To help ensure that the data is normalized and to avoid high peaks, set the cache timeout value to 60 seconds: cache timeout active 60.
To export all expired IP conversations, set cache timeout inactive to 15 seconds: cache timeout inactive 15.
The final step is to select the interfaces that will collect the NetFlow data. Let's say we need to enable NetFlow on a gigabit Ethernet interface. We'll type in interface gigabitEthernet 0/1.
And then, we'll use the command ip flow monitor NTAMonitor and add the key phrase input. This applies the monitor that we created to the interface and captures all incoming traffic for that interface.
Remember, if your device is not configured properly, you can duplicate your data. That's why it's important to understand the following rule:
When you collect NetFlow data on only one device interface and you want to display your data in both directions, set the following commands on the interface:
ip flow monitor NTAMonitor input
ip flow monitor NTAMonitor output
If you're collecting NetFlow data on multiple interfaces, enter only the input command line. Since each PDU contains the input and output interface, data will be collected in both directions even though you're only enabling the input command. These configuration settings are important because flows can look the same to NTA even though the data is coming from different interfaces.
To exit configuration mode, type exit and wr mem to save the configuration to the router.
This NetFlow record works with most flow monitoring tools, including SolarWinds® Network Traffic Analyzer.
This video will show you how to configure a Cisco® router to export NetFlow data using NetFlow version 9, also known as Flexible NetFlow.
Now that you've configured NetFlow on your devices, you can start monitoring your network using NetFlow Traffic Analyzer and Network Performance Monitor to gain even more visibility into your network traffic.

Is a professional photography career somewhere in your job future?
If you enjoy the way the world seems through the lens of your great camera, then you just may love a livelihood as a photographer.
Photographers encounter a sweeping variety of projects in a variety of various topics. The initial paycheck isn't necessarily tremendous, especially for newcomers, yet you put together a reasonable wage while you are able to work on an activity you genuinely get pleasure from.
If this sounds like an idea you would like to pursue further, then perhaps the main issue between you and your own great occupation is actually some basic education in photography by enrolling at a good program.
Professional Prospects
Commercial photographers put together a fusion of knowledge, inventiveness, and advanced equipment to be able to express ideas through a visual image. Today's professional cameras and visual editing software programs provide photographic professionals an amazing selection of modern gear and programs by which to develop their careers.
As stated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of commercial photographers is anticipated to increase at a constant amount across the next few years. Hiring forecasts place the amount of emerging jobs in the business at a steady 10% growth rate through 2018 or so.
Job opportunities should be greater for folks who have either a college degree or at least some specialized photography school classes.
Career Training and School Degree Options
Preparation starts off with gaining some qualifications. Initial opportunities in standard portrait photography commonly require technical ability sometimes received via an apprenticeship.
Those wanting to ascend to the ranks of photojournalist, or a specialized industrial or research visual positions generally work at finishing a bachelors degree.
A great many colleges, public community colleges, trade institutes, and specialty vocation training schools package courses that may be taken either on campus or by online courses. Sessions vary from several weeks to a number of months, according to the quality of expertise desired plus how frequently class meets.

Volleyball (Japanese: バレーボール) is a volleyball video game developed by Nintendo and Pax Softnica and released for the Family Computer Disk System and Nintendo Entertainment System. Originally released in 1986, it was re-released for the Wii Virtual Console in Europe on August 10, 2007 and in North America on August 21, 2007. It is part of the NES Sports Series.
Volleyball is a sports video game that follows the rules of volleyball.[1] The player controls a team of six players, three at the net and three in back. The player serves the ball into play by pressing the same button twice.[2]
The game is a six player-a-side volleyball simulation. Players can select teams to compete in either a men's or women's competition from the following countries: United States, Japan, People's Republic of China, South Korea, Brazil, Soviet Union, Cuba, Tunisia.[citation needed]
Volleyball is based on an arcade game. Volleyball was developed by Pax Soft Nica and Nintendo R&D1 and published by Nintendo. It was released in March 1987.[1]
Christopher Michael Baker of AllGame rated the game two out of five and said that it showed the developer's inexperience at creating volleyball games. He could not figure out which character he controlled at any given point nor the ball's location as poorly anticipated by its shadow. Baker also criticized the game's "annoying" sound effects. He said that Nintendo had made games for all other sports and likely felt obliged to make a volleyball game. He ultimately recommended Kings of the Beach and Super Spike V'Ball instead.[1]
Lucas M. Thomas of IGN said that Volleyball could be Nintendo's worst sports game, worse than even NES Soccer. He said the controls were automatically frustrating.[2]

Bitcoin - Is It Really The Best Investment For Your Business?
The cryptocurrency Bitcoin has been on a tear in recent weeks surging in value to nearly $20,000 USD. Despite Bitcoin's sky-rocketing value, it provides little public benefit while driving up energy consumption and contributing significantly to global warming. The extensive mining of Bitcoin being done by a relatively small pool of speculative investors is going to have a permanent impact on the rest of us and our planet.
The energy demands of a large-scale Bitcoin mining operation are staggering. One of the largest Bitcoin mining operations in China is estimated to use approximately 21,000 computers. The energy used by these computers, and the energy used to cool them, is only a small part of the 30 TWh global annual total. That's roughly equivalent to the energy usage of three million U.S. households. With more than 50% of Bitcoin mining based in China, much of that energy is generated from dirty sources like coal that significantly pollute air and water sources and create large amounts of greenhouse gases.
Bitcoin is not widely used in the open market and some experts say it's highly unlikely to ever become a usable currency due to the lengthy time and high fees associated with each transaction. So right now, Bitcoin mining is creating a significant environmental problem without any public benefit and this issue is projected to only increase as more people start mining the currency in response to the surging prices.
Bitcoin was originally created as a way to eliminate traditional banks, restore public trust in the financial system, and make financial transactions more transparent. If Bitcoin was actually a way to complete regular transactions, it would indeed have the potential to contribute to the public good. However, right now, Bitcoin is no more than a speculative investment market with people investing in Bitcoin as a way to make money – not to use as money itself.
As Bitcoin fails to realize its intended purpose, it's creating benefits for the few and environmental consequences for the many. With less than three years left to reduce carbon emissions and maintain a livable planet, many experts believe that Bitcoin is not an investment we can afford to make.

Professional Resume Services
Starting your first job means crossing that final bridge to adulthood, and you've finally made it. You've got plans for your life, and you've got student loans to pay off, so before you even step into the office you're probably already thinking about your first raise and promotion. But while eye of the tiger is a good thing, you should fight the urge to reinvent the corporate world immediately.
Build A Firm Foundation For Your Career
Professional growth is about building skills and making allies over the long haul, not about conquering the world on day one. Take it from my colleague and career expert Valentino Martinez who specializes in the student-to-professional transition: "Your first job is a learning experience. It isn't about pay,

For First Time Job Seekers" available on Amazon
status, or title. Focus on how your first job will establish a solid foundation for where you want to be in ten years."
All too often people join a company and, in an effort to make a powerful first impression, achieve the opposite. Your behavior when you first start work will determine your acceptance by management and by the team, your tenure, and your ultimate success with the company.
Make Allies Not Assumptions
Never assume anything when you start your first job, and don't try to change the world before you know the way to the restroom. Your first task is to master your job's responsibilities and get to know the people you work with, as well as the people whose work is affected by yours. Remember people's names, and go out of your way to smile and introduce yourself to everyone. Don't overlook clerical staff; it isn't courteous, and allies here can always repay your cordiality down the line. In short, learn the job, the organization, and the people. Work extra hours as necessary without complaint, and form good relationships inside and outside your department.
Ask for advice and listen closely to feedback on your performance—you are new to this and pretty much everyone wants you to succeed. Give thanks to everyone who assists you, and show even more appreciation for their time and input with brief follow-up notes.
If The Paychecks Don't Bounce, They Can't Be Crazy
As you get acclimatized over the first few days, you will begin to see the flow of work. Whatever the apparent madness you see in the early days at your first company, there is usually a sound method behind it. The paychecks don't bounce, so the company's employees and officers must be doing something right. With this in mind, don't comment on how things should be done, because no one will listen and some will take offense that "the newbie is a know-it-all." That just encourages some wise-ass to put you in your place. Don't be the guy who makes everyone feel like you were hired because they weren't doing anything right and you're here to fix it.
You need time to get to know the company, its services, and its people. In turn, those people need time to get to know you. If you arrive and immediately begin reinventing the company, it will be taken as arrogance and a slap in the face, not an opportunity to bow before a new and awesome deity! No one wants to hear your ideas until they know if you are a talker or a doer. So don't rush into things. You've got a long career before you, and plenty of time to reinvent the wheel. You're going to have to establish yourself before you can move up, so take the time now to build solid foundations.

I blogged a lot more this year and mostly out of necessity. As I was inspired by my friends at the MKs blog, struggled to wrap my head around the stuff I see everyday and continued to work to be a better Christian, blogging finally became nearly a necessity on some days. There's more I could have said and probably some I shouldn't have said. This is a teeny-tiny blog, but it provides me with something I guess I need. Thanks for indulging me. To those of you who interacted with me here and elsewhere, thank you.

Let Your Portfolio Shine With These Gold Tips
Each day, gold's price increases. You can buy or sell gold easily if you are interested in investing in this precious metal. Keep reading to learn how to profitably invest in gold.
Bullion bars are a great choice if you wish to put your money in gold. These bars come in varying weights. Bars may be a half ounce, 400 ounces or anything in between. Be aware that if you are looking for the biggest bars, you will have a difficult time locating them.
Gold prices change quickly and often, so know the current value before you attempt to sell any. If you choose to sell any gold, keep in mind that pieces that have different karat values need to be valued and weighed separately. Don't sell jewelry that's worth more due to maker or designer.

The site sends you a prepaid mailer to put the gold pieces in. If everything is together, you'll get paid their going rate.
If you plan to mail your gold jewelry to a firm, do some research on them and their policies before you do so. The last thing that you want to do is lose money because of a flawed shipment. To avoid problems later on, photograph each item you are sending.
When buying gold jewelry as a gift, make sure that the return policy is sound. You never know if the jewelry will fit someone else or if the person will even like it. If you have the receipt, they can easily trade in the piece for something more to their liking.
Gold Items
Understand that gold dealers are interested in all gold items. This could be jewelry pieces which are broken, home decor, tableware or any other gold items you have around. Having 100% gold isn't required, either. You could also sell something that is gold-plated or contains only a small amount of gold. You will still stand to make a bit of profit.
Now that you have read this information, you can now enter the gold market with confidence. Once you are ready to get started, you should be able to do well if you work at it. Follow the tips presented here to approach gold trading well prepared.

text: This paper examines ethics in organizations in relation to the subjectivity of managers. Drawing on the work of Michel Foucault we seek to theorize ethics in terms of the meaning of being a manager who is an active ethical subject. Such a manager is so in relation to the organizational structures and norms that govern the conduct of ethics. Our approach locates ethics in the relation between individual morality and organizationally prescribed principles assumed to guide personal action. In this way we see ethics as a practice that is powerfully intertwined in an individual's freedom to make choices about what to do and who to be, and the organizational context in which those choices are situated, framed and governed.

Serves 2
2 ciabatta buns (you might have to cut the bread to make them fit in the pie iron)
4 slices of your favorite cheese
4 slices of your favorite lunch meat (I used turkey)
2 T green pesto
2 T harissa (spicy Moroccan chili paste)
high heat cooking oil spray ( I like to use Avocado oil spray as its smoke point is 500 degrees > perfect for hot coal campfires)
Assemble the sandwiches by putting the pesto on one side, the harissa on the other with the cheese and meat in the middle.
Spray the inside of the pie iron with plenty of cooking oil. Add one sandwich to the iron and close it.
Find a spot in the camp fire that has some hot coals, its better if it doesn't sit in the flames. Find a rock and prop up the pie iron in a way that it hovers about 2 - 3 inches above the hot coals. If you stick it directly in the hot coals you risk the chance of burning your sandwich and if you put the iron in the direct flames you risk the pie iron melting.
Flip the iron every couple of minutes and check closely to see when its ready. All the cheese should be melted and the bread should be nice and crispy. You probably have to use a knife or tool to get the sandwich out, even with the cooking spray it sticks a bit to the iron.

"It's safe to say this is one product that is kid tested and family approved."
(PRWEB) July 28, 2012
P.F. Harris, America's oldest EPA registered company, celebrates its 90th Anniversary in 2012. However, 90 successful years of business is not all the company has to celebrate. A few years ago, P.F. Harris introduced Swamp Gator, a unique all natural insect repellant. Since its release the product has gained the attention of consumers and the media.
Swamp Gator initially proved to be very effective against mosquitos and flies. Soon after its release, many consumers in South Georgia discovered that Swamp Gator also kept away some of the most pesky insects of all: gnats. Since then, the product has caught fire, recently appearing on WALB News. The network commended the product, commenting: "it's safe to say that this is one product that is kid tested and family approved."
Additionally, in 2011 Swamp Gator appeared in a newspaper article in the Albany Herald by Jim West. The article explores effective methods to repel gnats and recommends the "daily deployment" of Swamp Gator in the battle against the pesky bugs.
P.F. Harris, founded in 1922, continues to provide consumers nationwide with effective pest-control products. Harris Famous Roach Tablets were utilized in the Whitehouse during the 1920s, a true testimonial to their effectiveness. Roughly five years ago, a savvy pair of entrepreneurs, Jim Biggs and Dave Rhinehart, came to appreciate the rich history and opportunity in P.F. Harris and purchased the company. Since the purchase in 2007, P.F. Harris has developed and introduced a variety of new products, triggering a staggering jump in sales.
What better time for Swamp Gator to catch the public's eye than on the 90th Anniversary of P.F. Harris. As the company evolves, consumers can anticipate even more all-natural products to repel pests under the Swamp Gator brand.

Following a nutritious diet is an important part of keeping a healthy pregnancy and giving birth to a healthy baby. However, since you're immune system is damaged during pregnancy, you're more vulnerable to the hazardous impacts of bacteria and other food-borne illnesses. Avoiding particular foods, and making sure to effectively manage and prepare all food during pregnancy, helps keep you and your baby well.
For the majority of healthy pregnant women, any fruit is great to eat, as long as it is washed correctly. Unwashed fruit not just has the possible to consist of pesticide residue, but also pollutants from the soil where the fruit was grown. For example, some soil includes toxoplasmosis, a possibly damaging bacteria present in animal feces. Furthermore, if you have a pregnancy complication, such as gestational diabetes, your healthcare provider might limit the amount and type of fruit you can eat in order to keep your blood glucose at a healthy level.
Pregnancy is the most fragile period for a woman and for her coming baby. So, if you are pregnant, it is important that you take extra care while selecting whatever that goes into your mouth.
There are particular fruits that need to be prevented during pregnancy. You desire the best for your baby, so, in case you have missed out this guideline, here is a list of fruits to prevent during pregnancy.
Fruits Not to Eat During Pregnancy
Primarily there are three fruits that should be prevented during pregnancy. They are:
Prevent Papaya
A great deal of women from Sri Lanka, Banladesh, India in addition to Pakistan have used papaya as an abortifacient, but it is not something that ought to fret you unless you binge on it. Papaya intake obviously brings on labour early or causes miscarriage. This is partly true. Papayas, specifically the unripe and semi-ripe ones are abundant in latex, which is known to set off uterine contractions.
Green papaya was frequently used straight to the uterus, but food kinds such as green papaya salad, the seeds of papaya in the parasite killing papaya seed shake ahead, in addition to supplements including papain enzyme ought to be prevented during the third and final trimester of pregnancy. For this factor Papaya remains in list of foods to avoid during pregnancy.
However, ripe papayas are outstanding during pregnancy. Ripe papayas are rich in vitamins, such as vitamin C and other wholesome nutrients that prevent the start of pregnancy symptoms, such as heartburn and constipation. Papayas blended with honey and milk are also an outstanding tonic for pregnant women, particularly during lactation. Ripe papayas contain much lower levels of papain and are usually thought about very healthy for pregnant women with it's rich anti-oxidant and vitamin content and numerous other health advantages.
Raw and semi-ripe papaya can cause
Deteriorating of the crucial membrane of the unborn baby. The papain in unripe or semi-ripe papaya is a proteolytic (breaks down protein) enzyme triggering cell dissociation. This will lead to the weakening of the cell growth and development of tissues of the fetus making its entity unpredictable.
It impacts the blood glucose level and it is unsafe to eat papaya if you are identified with gestational diabetes.
It holds true that papaya eases constipation; it furthermore remedies inflammatory bowel problems. Be that as it may, these practical attributes of papaya can hurt pregnant women. This surplus bowel movement can create pressure within the uterus and factor miscarriage.
Unripe papaya can be put in more than enough pressure on blood vessels, and even prompt internal bleeding and bleeding in the placenta. This will slow down the blood circulation of the blood influencing terribly the development of the fetus.
Prevent Pineapple
Eating pineapple during pregnancy is not good so resist yourself from consuming pineapple during pregnancy. Pineapples are abundant in bromelain, which can cause the softening of the cervix causing early labour.
One can have pineapple in moderate amounts as it will have no result on labour and delivery, nevertheless, its consumption ought to be limited during the first trimester to avoid any unanticipated event such as softening of the cervix. For this factor Pineapple remains in list of fruits not to eat during pregnancy. A great deal of women opine that drinking great deals of pineapple juice can help them accomplish labour. So you should stop yourself and your darlings from eating pineapple while pregnant.
Though pineapple is a great source of vitamins, proteins and minerals, eating pineapple especially during early stages of pregnancy should be avoided avoiding unforeseen occasions such as enfeebling cervix.
Prevent Grapes
Can we eat grapes during pregnancy? Answer to this is shrouded in debate. While some medical professionals recommend that you prevent eating grapes during pregnancy, other suggestions that you do use it. Many expert guidance the former due to the fact that of the amount of pesticides that are sprayed on grape plants to keep from being gnawed by insects.
Moreoever, the primary bone of contention is the high quantity of resveratrol present in grapes. This chemical can cause toxicity for the expectant mother. However, eating grapes during pregnancy can likewise give you crucial nutrients like vitamin A and C. So, you have to talk to your doctor prior to you concern any choice about eating grapes during pregnancy.
Professionals advocating for the usage of grapes argues that the fruit is a rich source of organic acids, anti-oxidants, minerals, and vitamins. By adding grapes routinely in the diet can favorably affect the health of the mother. Grapes are discovered to help in metabolic process, improve immunity, treat anemia.
Neglecting the various focal points of grapes for pregnant girls, there are also dangers prowling when grapes are consumed in more than abundance quantities. The above benefits work when they are taken in practical amounts. Be that as it might, overutilization of grapes is dangerous, especially in pregnancy stage.
Specialists advocating against the usage of the grapes during pregnancy argues that the pesticides that are showered on the grape plants to keep the bugs away makes the fruit inedible specifically during pregnancy. Grapes contain a great deal of Resveratrol, a natural compound discovered in its skin which is toxic and can cause a damaging response on the pregnant women whose hormones are imbalanced. Resveratrol poisoning further causes a number of complications in the course of pregnancy. It can establish constipation among pregnant women as the skin of the grapes are pretty tough to be absorbed correctly.
Prevent Unwashed Raw Fruits During Pregnancy
The most important suggestions for pregnant women is to avoid unwashed and unpasteurised fruits during pregnancy. It is crucial that food hygiene is provided primal significance during pregnancy to avoid infections from toxoplasmosis. Fruits ought to be an integral part of every pregnancy diet, however, one should work out care and avoid eating a few of them such as pineapples or papayas in excess, in order to prevent any issue during pregnancy.
Here's the correct method to prepare and manage them securely. Completely rinse raw vegetables and fruits under running water before eating or preparing them, specifically fruits that require peeling or cutting – like cantaloupe and other melons. Bacteria can be discovered on the outer rind or peel.
Do not use soap, detergents, or bleach options to wash fruit and vegetables.
As an added safety measure, use a small veggie brush to eliminate surface area dirt.
Try to remove damaged or bruised areas – bacteria can thrive in these places.
Fruits should comprise a huge part of your diet wheny you are pregnant clearly due to the fact that they are packed with nutrients. But, it is essential for you to modify the list of your preferred fruits for the sake of your baby. Prevent the bad ones, and remain healthy.
Can I Drink Fruit Juices During Pregnancy?
No doubt Juicing is an appropriate reliance for any healthy food plan. It is a healthy, mouth watering way to boost your nutrient intake in the course of pregnancy. In spite of that eating fruit is good during pregnancy, drinking fresh juice can put you accountable to the really harmful E.coli and salmonella bacteria. It's far mentioned that each raw fruits along with greens can get blighted with this sort of bacteria and can cause harm to you and your fetus.
The remedy is to pick out packaged juices as they're pasteurized and are kept underneath refrigeration. Also, use completely washed fruits for making juice at home. Never used tinned fruits either to make juice or to eat raw. It's not safe to have juices that are not pasteurized as it might contain ill borne illness that can quickly attack the immune system of the anticipating mom and might harm the unborn baby. Either drink pasteurized fruits or homemade fresh fruit juices.
Always eat fresh fruits and immediately eat them after cutting it. Strictly prevent those fruits which have nasty smell as they are rotten. Even half rotten fruits need to be prevented during pregnancy.Always remember, during pregnancy, the body immune system of the mom is weak and mindful attention should be paid to the diet of the mom. Make certain she gets fresh and healthy food. Take care of what must be prevented and what ought to be taken in for the healthy development of the baby and the mother. Constantly consult your doctor for proper care and safety measures.
Fruits to Avoid During Pregnancy
Eating ripe papaya during pregnancy? When consumed reasonably, ripe papaya will never damage the coming child. Unripe and partially ripe papaya are plentiful in latex which triggers uterine contraction resulting miscarriage during early stages and preterm birth in later stages of pregnancy. Even physicians prescribe papaya for inducing labor pain. Women in remote areas use unripe papaya for terminating the undesirable pregnancies.
The enzymes present in papaya are not only abortifacient (triggering abortion) but likewise teratogenic (affect the physiological growth of fetus).
However, there is no harm in eating ripe papayas as ripe papayas include just a really low level of papain. It is rich in anti-oxidants, vitamins and has plenty of other health advantages.
Bromelain, an enzyme present in the pineapple cause the weakening of the cervix leading to preterm labor or miscarriage. Pineapple has high sugar concentration which is hazardous to women with gestational diabetes. It can also activate uterine contractions which are bad for the growing uterus. Pineapple is thought about as a 'hot food'. And hot foods are understood to cause premature labor or miscarriage.
Grape is a popular natural item. It serves many advantages for both mother and the establishing child. There still exists some argument relating to eating grapes during pregnancy. While some medical specialists propose that you abstain from eating grapes amidst pregnancy, other admonition that you do utilize it.
Whatever it might be the arguments, never ever eat grapes if you fall under any of the following groups during pregnancy:
- Allergic to grapes
- Already struggling with digestive problems
- Have diabetes mellitus
- Weight problems.
Another crucial thing is constantly to buy grapes only in their season, otherwise, you are certainly eating grapes that are grown using pesticides which, no doubt, will damage you and unborn child.
Good luck! Have a nice weekend.

Many critics of this Minority Report complain that some of the signatories are not scientists. But the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (AGW) hypothesis is:
- Global warming is occurring and will become worse.
- It is caused by increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere.
- Man's use of fossil fuels is causing much of the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere.
- The consequences for man, animal-life, and crop production will be catastrophic.
The climate is a complex issue, which very much benefits from a multi-disciplinary analysis. For my money, many climatologists do not have a sufficiently long-term perspective on the Earth's history to fully appreciate and understand the many natural factors controlling climate. Despite this, most of them are not convinced by the AGW alarmists. Geologists are very good contributors to our understanding because they do have this perspective. The work of Ian Plimer in putting together the great book Heaven and Earth is an example of this. Then there is the important role of chemists, biologists, and materials scientists and engineers in understanding how CO2 is cycled between the atmosphere, oceans, and the Earth's crust. The role of physicists in understanding the cycles of the sun with its changing irradiance, the changing solar winds, and its changing electromagnetic fields and the interaction of that field with the cosmic ray flux from space is also critical. Their experience with cloud chambers and cosmic ray measurements is also critical. Biologists also play an important role in assessing the effects upon humans, plant, and animal life. They are all needed in the assessment of catastrophic AGW.
Finally, if the catastrophic AGW hypothesis were true and if man could do anything to prevent the worst consequences, then the very importance of the problem should engage a wide range of scientists, engineers, and economists. The actions to be taken would be drastic and have severe consequences for the lives of the entire world population. So, the thesis of AGW ought to be so sound that all of these scientists and economists will be convinced that a unified and determined human response to AGW is justified. Their many talents will likely be called upon to implement that response. So, the catastrophic AGW believers should be very excited to enlist the interest and the support of all these scientists, engineers, and economists. To do this, however, means that their critical assessment of the hypothesis must be welcomed and their judgment should be respected. It is up to the catastrophic AGWs to make a sound and compelling case for their hypothesis so they can enlist the support of the broad scientific, engineering, and economic expert communities.
In comparison to the Senate Minority Report on AGW, the UN IPCC report Summary, which is where the mass of the alarmist claims are made, has only 52 authors, many of whom are also not scientists and many of whom are simply politicians promoting government interests in expanding their power. While hundreds of scientists contributed their scientific findings to the scientific parts of the report, these main parts of the report are also full of caveats that it is not clear that catastrophic AGW is implied by their findings. They are clearly loathe to make the long-term predictions which are made in the Summary of the ICPP reports. Indeed, many scientists have been refusing to participate in the UN ICPP reports over time because they believe the Summaries are such a poor representation of the science in the main parts of the reports.
The catastrophic AGW hypothesis has clearly failed to be convincing to those scientists who have taken the time to evaluate its claims and generally to study the issue of the Earth's climate and the factors controlling it. It is time for the politicians and the public to understand the failure of the catastrophic global warming hypothesis to convince such knowledgeable and rational evaluators as those who have signed the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Minority Report.

So I've been sort of off the grid for the past few months with my blogging and recipe posts. I'm 18 weeks pregnant and I went through about 10 weeks of brutal nausea and morning sickness (however, please keep in mind that "morning sickness" is the ultimate misnomer because that shit lasts all day). I won't bore you with pregnancy details; suffice it to say my food world was rocked for close to 3 months. Green smoothies made me gag, I had to sneak veggies into my food like I was a toddler, and, for the first time in a decade, eggs made an appearance on my breakfast plate. I had strange aversions to many of my favorite foods, and it was really tough to stomach anything that I made myself. So cooking came to a halt and creating recipes was the furthest thing from my mind. I snuck in nutrition where I could get it, but ultimately was just happy to keep down food when I could.
Now I'm back! Nestled into the comfort of my second trimester, I am feeling good and eating well, and ready for a new year of healthy kitchen creations! Good timing, considering this is one of the times of year people hyper-focus on eating well. Weeks of holidays indulgences pile up, leaving us feeling like we need to slim down (for a few tips on how to right your holiday wrongs and get yourself back on track, check out my Seacoast Online blog).
The long and short of it is this: pump clean nutrients into your body. One of the best ways to do this is with green juice. Let me clear: I'm not talking about the green-colored juice concentrates packaged in plastic bottles that you can get at your supermarket. I'm referring to fresh-pressed juice made with organic fruits and veggies and nothing else. If you're local to the seacoast area, The Juicery and Portsmouth Health Food Center both offer organic fresh-made juices. I relied heavily on these juices during my first trimester. As mentioned, it was hard to stomach smoothies or veggies, so I got a lot of my daily nutrients via juice. Admittedly, buying fresh-made organic juice can be expensive (with good reason - it takes a lot of produce to make one glass of juice). Making your own at home is more convenient and cost-effective, but not everyone owns a juicer. Most of us, however, do have a blender. Here's an great way to make fresh juice in your blender.
You'll need:
A blender (high-speed works the best)
A fine mesh strainer OR cheesecloth
A large bowl
Here's a recipe to start with. Feel free to take some creative liberties with this recipe, but do include some type of green (kale, collard greens, romaine, spinach, parsley, cilantro, celery), something sweet (apple, carrot, beet), and some citrus (lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit). If you're new to juicing, you'll probably want to start with a higher ratio of fruits. Apples are great for adding sweetness, and lemons help to cut the bitter taste of green leafs. NOTE: if you decide to include beets, your juice will be very red in color, NOT green.
Simple Blender Juice
5 large kale leaves
1 cucumber
1 small beet
1 apple
1 lemon
1-inch piece ginger root
1-2 cups purified water
If your cucumber is not organic, peel it. Cut away the skin of your lemon, but leave behind the pith (the white inner skin) as it contains loads of nutrients. Cut ingredients up into largish chunks and place in blender. Add 1 cup of water and blend on high speed. If the mixture seems super chunky, you may want to add another cup of water. Blend for about 1 minute.
Pour mixture through either fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl. I prefer to use a strainer as I find the cheesecloth far too messy to deal with. I use a spatula to guide the juice through the strainer. After some handling, the juice pulp will be left behind and the juice will be in the bowl.
Pour into a glass and enjoy! It's best to drink fresh juice immediately, but if you'd like to save for later on in the day, store in an air tight container (like a mason jar) in the refrigerator.
Cheers to 2014!

As he had traveled extensively in Europe, so did he travel throughout the U.S., at first up the Hudson and around the northeast coast. In 1873 he took his first of several trips west, his primary destination being Yosemite. He also painted extensively in Florida, where his son lived. Working within the style of the Hudson River painters, Herzog seemed to prefer rugged scenes which he may have remembered from his travels in Norway but which were usually associated in the mid-nineteenth century with the work of Salvator Rosa. In many of his paintings, however, there is a strong poetic undertone. This has often been attributed to an early contact with the Barbizon painters, when he visited France as a young man, but which more likely owes to the popularity of the Tonalist aesthetic in America in the last decades of the nineteenth century.
Herzog's investments in the Pennsylvania Railroad eventually made him independent of the sales of his art, and much of his work stayed in his family, suppressing his popularity and reputation among collectors. It was only with the release of much of this work in the 1970s that his reputation soared. Today, Herzog's work may be found in many U.S. museums, including the Dallas Museum of Art, the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Woodmere Art Museum, the White House, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
