Daily Mail: Developers demolish all the stairways of a building in bid to evict family on the seventh storey
""A furious family is suing property developers after they demolished every staircase in a seven-storey apartment block to make them quit their top floor flat.
Mum Zhao Yanhong, 42, claims developers - who want to demolish the flats in Mianyang, south west China, to build a factory - hired thugs to force out other residents but she refused to budge.
'Then one day they turned up with machines and men and knocked out all the stairs to strand us here. They are just trying to bully us out of our home,' said Yanhong.""

Why sugar matters so much in the 2016 race
It was a subtle shot between two leading presidential candidates, which most of the audience probably missed. In last night's debate for the Republican presidential candidates, largely out of the blue, Ted Cruz boasted about the costly federal programs he's eager to eliminate.
"Among them are corporate welfare, like sugar subsidies. Let's take that as an example. Sugar subsidies. Sugar farmers farm under roughly 0.2% of the farmland in America, and yet they give 40% of the lobbying money."That sort of corporate welfare is why we're bankrupting our kids, and grandkids. I would end those subsidies to pay for defending this nation."
Cruz didn't mention any specific names, but it was a hint of a intra-party fight that's on the horizon.
In this case, Cruz and Jeb Bush are ready to phase out federal sugar subsidies, which many economic conservatives – and liberals, for that matter – see as "crony capitalism."
But Big Sugar still has one key ally.
The Washington Examiner reported in August:
Battling crony capitalism and corporate welfare has been a central theme of this weekend's [gathering sponsored by the Koch brothers]. In that vein, Mike Allen of Politico asked Marco Rubio at Sunday's lunch, commented on Rubio's votes against a federal backstop for terrorism risk insurance and the Export-Import Bank, and then noted that Rubio made one exception to his opposition to crony capitalism. Rubio instantly knew what Allen was talking about: the federal sugar program.Rubio has consistently voted for and defended the federal sugar program, which drives U.S. sugar prices higher by keeping out foreign sugar and provides federal loans to guarantee those high prices.
The Florida senator has gone so far as to make a national security argument about sugar subsidies, which even National Review mocked as ridiculous.
The editorial board of the Wall Street Journal added last week:
There is no economic defense of the sugar program, which every year provides nonrecourse loans to sugar processors at a guaranteed price-per-pound. If the market price is below the guarantee when they want to sell, the processors simply dump the crop on the U.S. Department of Agriculture as the loan repayment. To avoid that outcome, the USDA holds sugar prices artificially high by imposing tariffs on imports above an annual quota. The result is that Americans pay about twice what the rest of the world pays for sugar.The Coalition for Sugar Reform, which includes businesses that use sugar, says that for every U.S. sugar-growing job saved from high U.S. sugar prices, about three American manufacturing jobs are lost. The U.S. candy industry has been hollowed out as companies have fled to places like Guatemala and Thailand where they can remain competitive by buying sugar at world-market prices.Mr. Rubio explains his support with the last refuge of protectionist scoundrels – national security. […] Mr. Rubio has many talents, but one trait the presidential campaign has exposed is a tendency to hedge on his principles when he thinks it's politically beneficial…. His sugar high is another low.
Get the feeling Cruz sees a key Rubio vulnerability here? I sure do.

Introduction State Bank of Vietnam
Starting from Hoan Kiem Lake at the back of Ly Thai To Park; lording State Bank of Vietnam over the junction where Ngo Quyen and Ly Thai To Streets cross, stands the rather pompous former Banque d'lndochine. This late, rather weighty Art Deco edifice, completed in 1930, was designed by George-Andre Trouve, a young architect straight out of the School of Fine Arts in Paris.
Design the State Bank of Vietnam
Looking more like a monument or a mausoleum than a bank with its massive unadorned columns and militant rows of recessed windows, the heavy-lidded circular entry porch under a tiered, flattened cupola, repeats the theme of bulky plain-faced columns. With luck, the guard may let you peek inside at what was the enormous banking hall. Here the young architect excelled himself. As State Bank of Vietnam was out of the question in a hot humid climate to use direct sunlight to provide good lighting for the bank clerks, he cleverly invented a system of opaque domes, light filtering through twenty "lanterns" to provide diffuse overhead lighting.
If 1930s Art Deco is not quite your image of French colonial architecture, bear with me, the next example is in astonishing contrast.
State Bank
Hope that you see the information of State Bank of Vietnam effectively!

It is not surprising that most data management professionals at some point in time in their career have either played the role of an IT project manager or have worked as one in an official capacity.
In IT most technical changes including data related changes are implemented through a project in one form or another. Now if we accept the notation that change is a constant reality in today's businesses, then that means most technical changes in an organization may be implemented through a project.
Most if not all IT projects have some data impact or are impacted by data. That is, whether they are rolling out a new software solution, hardware solution, reporting, integration, migration, and others, there are elements of data tasks involved. These projects often require a delicate balance between complex tasks in data management domain. For example, a software implementation project would need data architecture, migration, integration, quality, and governance. This translate to many tasks and many resources as well as dependencies.
A project manager must manage all these tasks and understand their impact on resourcing, budget, timeline, solution, and much more! Most IT projects can easily fail to meet these demands when one of these moving parts is out of order.
Project managers and PMP's who understand these data management principles can clearly understand what is required in each phase and what to look out for. They can manage expectation and impact with project sponsors and stakeholders to ensure a successful and smooth project delivery.
It is because of this that we recently developed a very specific data management training for IT project managers to train them in the fundamentals of data management as well as specific types of projects that they will be dealing with. They can now use the same tools and techniques we use in data management to ensure a successful delivery of data solutions in their IT projects.
Last week Xendat delivered the first of these training sessions in Indianapolis and it was attended by a number of seasoned project managers who found it to be extremely valuable (according to their survey and interactive feedback).

Yao Hong, soprano; Liu Shan, mezzo-soprano; Jin Yongzhe, tenor; Sun Li, baritone; Shen Fanxiu, organ; He Wangjin, Qiang flute; Michel Plasson, China National Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Virgin Classics 5099993411929.
My Random House Unabridged Dictionary defines a requiem as "any musical service, hymn, or dirge for the repose of the dead." The most famous of these musical settings, of course, is the Requiem Mass of the Catholic Church, although Chinese composer Guan Xia didn't exactly have this in mind when he composed his Earth Requiem in 2009. He wrote the work as a remembrance of the Sichuan earthquake of 2008, which took thousands of innocent lives. Rather than simply mourn this loss, which the work certainly does, it is above all a celebration of life. Michel Plasson and the China National Symphony Orchestra, chorus, and others, an ensemble comprising over 100 instrumentalists, 150 singers, an organ, and four soloists, do the massive work justice.
The composer divides the Earth Requiem into four parts: (1) Gazing at the stars, a "Meditation for Orchestra and Chorus"; (2) Heavenly Wind and Earth Fire, a "Trilogy on a Fixed Melody, for Orchestra and Chorus"; (3) Boundless Love, a "Romance for Orchestra, Soprano, Bass and Chorus"; and Wings of Angels, an "Ode for Qiang Flute, Organ, Orchestra, Soprano, Mezzo-soprano, Tenor, Bass and Chorus."
The first movement, Gazing at the Stars, is sweet and gentle, under Maestro Plasson's direction projecting an appropriate melancholy, a mourning of the tragedy. It's all rather solemn, yet there seems to be a note of hope here, too, a longing that all will be well. Plasson and his players give it a resonant, emotional uplift that is quite touching.
The second movement, Heavenly Wind and Earth Fire, is considerably different from the first movement in that it sounds almost angry, outraged at the brutality of Man and Nature. The booklet explains that the music is all highly pictorial as it "attacks the odiousness of life and the hypocrisy of mankind." Plasson does a fine job conveying the music's shifting moods of suffering, desperation, and ethereal eeriness.
The third movement, Boundless Love, comes as a welcome relief from the tensions of the previous section, for Boundless Love is just that: all heavenly melodies and restful lyricism. The way Plasson handles it, it's beautifully serene, representing the healing power of pure love.
The final movement, Wings of Angels, begins with the sound of the Qiang flute, which has a tone resembling a bagpipe and sets the stage for the work's climax. The music here alternates between fast and slow segments, mostly slow, some of it reflecting Chinese folk tunes. I found this the most moving part of the Requiem, as it ends on a note of triumph for all humankind. While the music of Earth Requiem may not be earthshaking in its inspiration or originality, it is uplifting to be sure. That is to say, I don't know if Earth Requiem will ever become a modern classic, but surely there is no doubt Maestro Plasson does his best to show it in its best light.
Oddly, Virgin list the final movement on the back cover of the jewel case and in the accompanying booklet as 4.23 minutes. Actually, it's 14.23. I can see company overlooking the mistake once, but twice? The entire symphony lasts a little over an hour, 63.51 minutes.
Producer Guan Xia and engineer Daniel Zalay recorded the Requiem at the Beijing Concert Hall in March of 2011. The sonics they obtained are fairly open, widespread, clean, and detailed. Although there is a very slight forwardness to the strings that overly bright loudspeakers might exacerbate, I found it often added to the sound's clarity. The chorus and soloists appear almost ideally integrated with the orchestra, nothing too close or too recessed. However, the singers can appear a touch edgy at times. Treble extension is good, the low end is somewhat light, and dynamics and impact are adequate for the occasion. Overall, the sound is a tad soft in the upper bass to middle midrange and, as I say, a bit sharp in the upper mids. Nevertheless, there is nothing distracting about it, and it does complement the spirit of the music nicely.

Ayahuasca and addiction: Treatment in the "Singing House"
This presentation will be based on my doctoral research at the Takiwasi Centre in Peru from 2014-2015. In an attempt to understand the evolution of patients undergoing treatment for addiction at Takiwasi, I conducted an observational pilot study using methods drawn from biology, psychology, and anthropology. While the results were positive, understanding Takiwasi itself poses certain philosophical challenges that are not easily solved. In addition to the results of the study, I will discuss these challenges in relation to the use of ayahuasca (and other plants) as medicines.
David O'Shaughnessy is a PhD candidate from the James Cook University medical school in Townsville, Australia. His background is in psychology (Adelaide University), although his current doctoral work at James Cook is an interdisciplinary study of addiction in the modern world, and the subsequent possibilities and implications of traditional Amazonian medicine as a treatment option.

One of the biggest concerns all collectors face is the possibility of being duped in to purchasing a fake work of art. No one likes to be fooled. In this segment, we'll discuss the various types of fraudulent artworks that exist and where they are most prevalent so that you can make the best possible decisions when acquiring art for your collection.
What are Fakes?
Fakes come in all shapes and sizes. Most common are forgeries of popular artworks by famous or well-known artists. Why? Because these artworks are highly desirable and most collectors would do anything (even if it means ignoring the red flags and their moral compass) in order to obtain a work attributed to their favorite artist. In the world of art, a fake is any artwork which was not produced or authorized by the artist whom the artwork is "attributed". Attribution is the action of ascribing a work of art to a particular artist. We've seen many instances where a work of art was wrongly or falsely attributed to a particular artist in order to coerce the buyer into purchasing the artwork or to command a price comparable to other artworks which have been deemed authentic by historians and experts.
The Problem with Fakes
When you purchase an authentic work of art from an artist, not only are you acquiring a piece of that artist's history and legacy, you are also making an investment in your own history and legacy. Many collectors are known for the artwork they collect and can be remembered long after they're gone by the works they've donated to public institutions, or have given for philanthropic purposes. Even if your objective as a collector is merely to enjoy the artwork, live with it or to simply beautify your home (or work space) wouldn't you feel better knowing the artworks in your collection were the real deal? We think so too. Although a fake artwork may fool your non-art-savvy friends, you'll always know the truth about it. Wouldn't you rather be confident and proud of the things you call "your own"? Also keep in mind, as a collector, it is probably your wish to support the artists you love by purchasing works of art from them. If you are not buying the real thing, the artist you admire receives non of the benefit; rather, the faker is the only one whom profits from this exchange.
Why Do People Buy Fakes?
Fakes aren't something exclusive to the art world. Forgeries have permeated all sectors of commerce, from designer clothes, watches and handbags to concert tickets to cars and almost anything you can imagine. If it is desirable and of high value most likely someone is profiting from faking it.
There are many reasons people buy fakes, let's take a look at a few:
1. Lack of knowledge - the consumer isn't aware they are buying a forgery, or they were presented false information about the artwork they were buying.
2. Price - the consumer is aware the artwork is not authentic, yet defiant because the price of the original is out of their reach, they'll settle for the fake.
3. Status - Many people whom purchase fakes do so to give off the "impression" that they too have expensive taste and have reached a certain "social status" albeit without the bank account to back it up. They want to be part of "the club" but haven't yet earned it in their own dignified way. Those whom can afford the originals can spot the fakers from a mile away. So who is it they think they are fooling? Usually those in their immediate circle, others whom also could not be included in this elite group.
4. Availability - China has made a fortune selling fakes of very famous artworks. Usually these are of paintings which are no longer available to the public as they are owned by museums and other private institutions. The only way to have Starry Night or Sun Flowers by Van Gogh hanging on your living room wall is to purchase a poster or purchase a forgery. In this instance, the forgery will be as close as you can get to the "real thing" as replicas are made to look as close to the original as possible, brush strokes and all.
Where Are All The Fakes?
The internet is the largest seller of fakes. Everyday hundreds of thousands of fakes are sold to unsuspecting buyers. When considering an art purchase online it is best to do the proper research to insure you are getting the real deal. Many of the fakes listed for sale online are meant to deceive by falsifying the information given in the listing. Some of the most common wordings we've seen are "In the style of (insert famous artist's name here)" or "signed so and so (famous artist name)" or "We don't have any information about this piece but we believe it to be by so and so (famous artist)" and on and on. These are "loopholes" sellers of forged artwork use as to not be held liable in the event that the transaction goes sour. The seller can claim that they gave adequate information to you before you decided to make your purchase.
Although a majority of fake artwork is available on the world wide web, keep in mind that the internet is not the only place fakes are available. Some galleries and other more more reputable sellers, such as auction houses and dealers have been known to offer fakes, whether it be with or without their knowledge or consent. Be weary of sellers who seem overly zealous and eager to send you home with the artwork. Art is an not an impulse buy and any professional, reputable and trustworthy source will understand that the collector must take his or her time to decide and feel completely comfortable before purchasing.
Too Good to Be True
A good rule of thumb when considering an art purchase either online or in-person is: IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS. Investigate what prices the art you'd like to purchase is selling for by reputable sources (i.e galleries, direct from artist, auction house etc.), is there any documentation available for the piece you are considering? Are you able to reach out to the artist or gallery to verify the authenticity of the work? All very important things to take in to account before handing over your credit card or wallet.
Be a Smart Collector
When purchasing an artwork which you greatly desire it is easy to let your emotions take over and get the better of you. Keep all of the above in mind when making your final decisions. The last thing you'd want is to spend your hard earned money only to find out that what you purchased wasn't what you thought it was. Unfortunately many new collectors and even some seasoned ones fall victim to the art forgers and fakers of the world. With enough research, patience and common sense you can outsmart these fakers and insure yourself an authentic work of art that you will be proud to own and admire for many years to come.

WASHINGTON — Both Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton have their favorite retired general.
For Mr. Trump, it is Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a retired Army officer who led the Defense Intelligence Agency. For Mrs. Clinton, it is Gen. John R. Allen, a retired Marine who commanded NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Both men gave rousing speeches endorsing their candidate at the national conventions in July. Some of their peers, however, bridled at the outspokenness, saying they were politicizing the military.
Most notably, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, who retired last fall as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, wrote in The Washington Post: "The military is not a political prize. Politicians should take the advice of senior military leaders but keep them off the stage."
Even so, both campaigns this week released the names of scores of retired admirals and generals, many with exemplary service records, who offered endorsements. These lists have become a somewhat expected part of the presidential campaign, an effort to bolster a candidate's credentials as commander in chief.
Nonetheless, some military experts say the endorsements of retired officers are overrated. "Few Americans are likely to care about which candidate retired generals support for president," said Andrew J. Bacevich, a military historian and retired Army colonel.
Here is an assessment of some of those names.
Combat and Command Experience
Many of the senior officers from both sides are veterans of the Vietnam War, as well as of more recent conflicts.
Of Mrs. Clinton's supporters, General Allen is also former deputy commander of the Central Command. Gen. Wesley K. Clark, a former NATO military commander who oversaw the allied air campaign in Kosovo, is a recipient of the Silver Star.
Among Mr. Trump's supporters, General Flynn served as a top aide to Gen. Stanley McChrystal in Afghanistan. Gen. Burwell B. Bell III, a retired four-star officer, commanded United States forces in South Korea.
Previous Partisan Statements
One supporter of Mr. Trump, Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, a former commander of the Army's elite Delta Force, first caused controversy after the Sept. 11 attacks when, as a senior Pentagon official, he described the fight against terrorism as a Christian battle against Satan. His remarks, made in numerous speeches to church groups, were publicly repudiated by President George W. Bush, who argued that America's war was not with Islam but with violent fanatics.
In 2004, the Pentagon's inspector general recommended "corrective action" against General Boykin, concluding that he had violated rules by failing to clear the content of his speeches with security and public affairs personnel, and for failing to make it clear that the views he expressed were his alone, and not those of the Pentagon.
Discussing a 1993 battle by American soldiers against a Muslim warlord in Somalia, General Boykin told an audience: "I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol."
Another backer of Mr. Trump, Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, the former assistant vice chief of staff of the Air Force, in 2010 supported an Army lieutenant who refused to deploy to Afghanistan because he did not believe President Obama was born in the United States. In an affidavit, General McInerney demanded that Mr. Obama release his birth records.
While only a tiny portion of military officers reach the rank of admiral or general, an even smaller sliver earn three or four stars, senior enough to lead the Pentagon's regional commands around the globe or their individual service's combat force within those regional commands.
Fifteen percent of Mr. Trump's retired officer supporters are among those most senior officers, including Adm. Jerry Johnson, a former vice chief of naval operations.
Mrs. Clinton's backers include nearly twice that number of highest-ranked officers, including Gen. Lloyd Newton of the Air Force.
Breakdown on Gender and Age
Of the 95 retired admirals and generals who have endorsed Mrs. Clinton, about a dozen are women, including Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy, an intelligence officer who was the first woman to achieve the rank of three-star general in the United States Army.
Mr. Trump's list of 88 former senior officers has far fewer, including Rear Adm. Mimi Drew, a former deputy assistant secretary of the Navy.
Over all, the retired officers supporting Mrs. Clinton have served more recently while many of Mr. Trump's supporters have been retired for decades, suggesting they may be less familiar with the current threats facing the country.
On Torture
One of Mrs. Clinton's retired military supporters is Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba, a senior Army investigator whose searing report into the abuses of detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq was a catalyst for the broader examination of the torture of prisoners in the hands of American captors.
While the United States has ended "enhanced interrogation" techniques such as waterboarding, Mr. Trump has called for reinstating its use against Islamic State militants, saying: "I like it a lot. I don't think it's tough enough."
One of Mr. Trump's retired supporters, Rear Adm. Philip Anselmo, told NPR's "Morning Edition" on Wednesday that "I do believe that things like potentially waterboarding or other efforts that are along those lines are necessary when you're in combat to save critical lives."

Nonprofit Design - Adoption Digital Guide
I've been working for TruAdopt, a nonprofit law firm dedicated to legal representation of birthparents, for a little over a year now. Reflecting on the year, I'm amazed to see how one adoption attorney's vision has come to life, and I'm honored that I have the opportunity to take part in the design, marketing, and branding of this nonprofit organization.
TruAdopt advocates for separate representation for expectant parents. In the majority of adoptions in this country, it is only the adoptive parents who have legal representation. Allowing an expectant parent to go through an adoption without their own attorney creates an inherent power imbalance with potential conflicts of interest. To ensure a healthy adoption, it's essential for expectant parents to have separate legal representation.
Today I want to share my latest project for TruAdopt, a downloadable PDF designed to simplify the adoption process by outlining it from beginning to end. I had a lot of fun designing it and I hope that this can help educate and inform you on the realities of adoption from the expectant mother's perspective.

Favourite Topics
Here is where I put a self-description; it is my personality in a nutshell! Some look at me as a cold individual, whilst others (very talented few) see through my facade, I do carry my dad's aura about me, don't know if that is a learned or inherited thing but people generally do not feel at ease when they first meet me (perhaps first impressions should be followed) maybe it's the distance I create or maybe it's because I am not really interested whatever the reasons here is my self explained profile.And some Rules I live by...... (My World only:~)
I have always been a bit of a boffin!Right from a child I could understand logical expression and machines better than I could any human being, this is why I find programming a walk in the park, it absorbs me like a virtual world, I love technical books and hate stories about fictional characters unless that is; it is very good science fiction, something to provoke thought or a possibility (grey area), the only exception to this rule is film, I could watch a film about scrooge but I could not read the book, it would bore me to tears.True or False!In my true and false world I am safe, black and white, on or off with a total and true understanding without any grey bits diffusing my view! Many have said to me you cannot look at the world in black and white, all I can say you are not looking at it in the right perspective, grey area's are just untested grounds, they are neither true nor false therefore unsolved, if you say maybe to me I will disregard it and wait for you to make up your mind and say yes or no! Simple, I only use the grey area to test theories or to finalise or test something one way or the other, I never use the grey area as a solid foundation for an argument like most (in your world) weirdly do, a grey area is precisely that, uncharted waters! There is a median however but that is another story, LOL.
Which one is it!Sometimes I am lost for words, this usually happens when it is neither true nor false, it resides in the area of undecided or the grey area again, it quite literally stops me in my tracks, some people look at this as avoiding an answer or burying your head in the sand but sometimes the problem in the grey area is so opposed either way I cannot speak and therefore will either walk away or say that I do not know, I try to avoid the word maybe.
Business!Now we are talking, being brought up in a hotel, watching my dad control his own destiny (to a point) fascinated me, I watched and learned, the money aspect was just a painful bonus, the actual interaction and structure of business itself became my interest and to that end I have been self employed most of my life, I enjoy creating something out of nothing and business is great for doing that, it's hard work and you have to put the time in but; the bottom line is I absolutely love trading and doing business, and (although I say it myself) I am very good at it, my parents were business people, my aunt run a shop, some of my great ancestors were all in business so I suppose this part of me in in my blood.
Where there is a will!I have always believed that if you want something bad enough you can achieve it, determination is the operative word here, my dad had determination by the bucket load, and I certainly have that trait, nothing I have done in my life (if I was interested enough) has not yielded some result, this all narrows down to being determined enough to make it work, not giving in and taking all the punches, good old British Bulldog determination is all that is required and you can pretty much achieve anything no matter how many times you are slapped down.
Passion!I really could not live without this trait; this is the heart and soul of me, I am very passionate about what I do and whatever it may be, if there is any point to doing anything then you must be your best at what you do, this coupled with determination makes a formidable pair! Unless I can do something with 110% passion and interest then I am not interested at all! I put in the hours to learn, I relentlessly test my theories and only then will I put a plan into action, again if I am interested enough my passion for anything shows no bounds and will work relentlessly around the clock until exhausted or can stand no more!
Barriers!We all have them but I bet mine is bigger than yours! This is a biggie! And would take more than a few lines to explain, you would need to go into my childhood to totally understand this one but it is part of the reason people see me as cold, it has been a huge obstacle in my life and has caused me so much grief throughout, but on reflection has served it's purpose in protecting me inside, I still thankfully have full emotions intact, I can give to the right person but quite literally everything else is shut out, this is my self protection mechanism and there has to be absolute trust to actually see me as I am.
This all started many moons ago when I needed to protect myself from being hurt as a child, my father was very aggressive and would hit both me and my mother, he would torment me when he was drunk and ignore me when he was sober, great periods of time would pass where I was on my own and so with my brother by my side I isolated myself in my little bubble, I would shut myself away so that my dad could not hurt me any more, I would stay out of his way and I did not want to hear my mother crying from the black eyes she received, I remember crying all the time as a child, but my outside appearance especially to my dad was defiant, there was no way he would see that he was hurting me, I hid from him when I cried, there would be no chink in my armour and only girls cry, I would give him as good as he gave out.
I was not allowed any friends until I rebelled in my teens and to be quite frank my father put the fear of god into me, I remember my stomach going over when ever he entered the room, I hated his drunken smell as well it repelled me and made me feel sick, so I avoided him and shielded myself so he could not get to me any more and to him I laughed in his face and stood my ground, over many years this barrier became virtually impregnable I moulded it into a great piece of armour, so impregnable in fact it became part of my character! Most of the time it was natural for me to shut anything out that would in any way compromise or hurt me and so a great shield was created that was bullet proof and could endure the test of time from around 6 years old until I was in my teens.
By the time I reached my teens nothing could hurt me, because I would let nothing in or out to give it the chance of doing so, I would analyse anyone's intentions and then only if they passed would allow them in a little bit, by this time it was all subconscious and part of my character, I did not realise I was actually shutting people out all the time and that love was a two way street until I met the love of my life Karen, but even then this barrier was too well established to totally realise it's significance in size, right up until I was in my late 30s I eventually worked from the inside out (clawed my way out) and saw this brick wall all around me.
Too late though, it is like a knee jerk reaction, part of my very being now, if your intentions are bad, or I suspect anything you will get a cold exterior, a cold reception, and there is no way you will get through, no matter what you say or what you do your comments or actions will be met with full force and deflected pure aggression and believe me you will never win if that was your intention, I have fought with the best my dad.
The denseness of this shield I created also prevented realisation of certain internal feelings, for instance my son, I should have seen him in me and for what he was, I should have seen this fragile heart that needed protecting but instead I just could not understand it? My daughter was more boisterous than my son, she was a tomboy and I understood this but my lee was more sensitive and it was like being blind to myself, so in my ignorance I ignored him to a degree and so laid the path of my father, it was his ignorance that moulded me as I was now doing unwittingly to my own son! I can only say sorry for this lee and forgive me for being blind at that time, please forgive me for that as i know i am guilty of not paying you enough attention, i simply did not understand myself at that age.

A novel hyperchaotic system with fractional-order (FO) terms is designed. Its highly complex dynamics are investigated in terms of equilibrium points, Lyapunov spectrum, and attractor forms. It will be shown that the proposed system exhibits larger Lyapunov exponents than related hyperchaotic systems. Finally, to enhance its potential application, a related circuit is designed by using the MultiSIM Software. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the suggested circuit.
1. Introduction
Hyperchaos was discovered by Rössler in 1979 [1] and the first hyperchaotic circuit was implemented by Matsumoto in 1986 [2]. In these last years, hyperchaotic systems have gained the interest of the scientific community and new systems and circuits are proposed [3–8]. This great interest can be explained by the aptitude of hyperchaotic systems to generate complex dynamics characterized by more than one positive Lyapunov exponent and attractors deployed in multiple directions. In practical applications and particularly in secure communication, chaotic synchronization has been explored by using electronic circuits, namely, Duffing circuit [9], Chua circuit [10], and Rössler circuit [11]. However, for hyperchaotic circuits, many challenging problems are still pending due to their complex behaviors.
On the other hand, several researches have attempted to construct chaotic and hyperchaotic models with simple algebraic structures highly recommended for circuit design. The most famous chaotic one is the Jerk system proposed by sprott, in 1994 [12, 13], which contains simple nonlinear terms. However, it is well known that most systems contain conventional nonlinear terms like piecewise linear functions [14–17], integer order polynomials [8, 18], sine functions [19], time delayed functions [20], and switching functions [21]. In this framework, fractional-order polynomials could be used to build complex chaotic behaviors and, to the best of our knowledge, they have not been harnessed until now.
The purpose of this paper is to build a novel hyperchaotic system with more complex dynamics than those proposed by related works. Expecting that the PWNL function with FO terms gives us more complex chaotic proprieties than the piecewise linear one, this PWNL function is constructed from absolute functions and FO polynomials. To enhance the potential application of the proposed system, its related circuit is designed afterwards with MultiSIM Software.
The rest of this paper is structured as follows. In Section 2, the mathematical model of the hyperchaotic system is proposed and its basic properties are presented. In Section 3, the dynamic analysis of the novel system is investigated by pointing out its elementary characteristics such as the Lyapunov exponents, the attractor forms, and the equilibrium points. In Section 4, the oscillator circuit of the hyperchaotic system is designed afterwards.
2. Mathematical Model and Basic Properties
Let consider the mathematical model of the novel hyperchaotic system with FO terms expressed by the following differential equations: with being a nonlinear function defined as where (, , , , , , , ) are the system's parameters and (, , , ) are the state variables. is a fractional number satisfying . Since , will never be an indeterminate form. The nonlinear function can be written as follows: System (1) can exhibit chaotic behavior if the general condition of dissipativity is satisfied such as As long as , system (1) is dissipative and it converges to an attractor. Thus, when the parameters (, , , , , , , ) are equal to (, , , , , , , ) and the initial condition is equal to , system (1) generates a strange attractor displayed in Figure 1. This attractor has an asymmetrical form with respect to all the principal axes characterized by two scrolls of different sizes.
The time series of the state variables and are described in Figures 2(a) and 2(b). These signals represent the chaotification rates of each variable. On the other hand, system (1) is sensitive to initial conditions as shown in Figures 2(c) and 2(d). Note that the variation range of the variable is extended within , unlike the other variables. This point must be considered in practical applications.
3. Dynamic Analysis
3.1. Equilibrium and Stability
The equilibrium points of system (1) are obtained by solving these equations:
Proposition 1. (i) If , then and the origin is the first equilibrium of system (1).
(ii) If , then and is an equilibrium of system (2) where .
(iii) If , then and is an equilibrium of system (2) where .
Proof. Case (i) is obvious.
For case (ii), we should solve the following equation: which admits the solution with . The roots of this equation are given by [22] with , being the phase of , and being a fractional number. Notice that the term is positive when , , and . Then, is equal to zero and we have .
For case (iii), we should solve the following equation: which admits the solution with . The roots of this equation are given by [22] with , being the phase of , and being a fractional number. Notice that the term is positive when , , and . Then, is equal to zero and we have .
When the parameters (, , , , , , , ) are equal to (, , , , , , , ), system (1) admits three equilibrium points: , , and . For the stability analysis, Table 1 gives the Jacobian matrix and its corresponding eigenvalues calculated for each equilibrium point.
3.2. Lyapunov Exponents Analysis
System (1) exhibits four Lyapunov exponents (LEs). These LEs are esteemed using the Wolf algorithm [23], as shown in Figure 3 as Since the LE spectrum has two positive Lyapunov exponents; thus system (1) is hyperchaotic. is the largest positive one. This exponent increases the expansion degree of the attractor in the phase space.
In addition, the corresponding Kaplan-Yorke dimension is
3.3. Routes to Chaos
System (1) can display periodic orbits, chaos, and hyperchaos attractors under different conditions. In fact, when the parameter varies and the parameters (, , , , , , ) are fixed, two Hopf bifurcations are detected as shown in Figure 4. These bifurcations are denoted H in the bifurcation diagram and they appear when and , respectively. Each Hopf point is characterized by a first Lyapunov coefficient (FLC). A positive FLC indicates the existence of a supercritical Hopf bifurcation, whereas a negative one indicates a subcritical Hopf bifurcation. In system (1), the two points obtained are supercritical Hopf bifurcations. This type of bifurcation indicates that the evolution to chaotic behavior is possible.
In addition, as the parameter of bifurcation increases, system (1) undergoes the following routes:(i)If , then system (1) exhibits periodic orbit. Figure 5(a) shows this regular attractor with .(ii)If , then system (1) converges to a fixed point as shown in Figure 5(b).(iii)If , then another periodic orbit is obtained as shown in Figure 5(c) with .(iv)If , system (1) exhibits chaotic attractor. Figure 5(d) shows this strange attractor with .(v)If , then system (1) exhibits hyperchaotic attractor. Figure 5(e) shows this strange attractor with .
Some typical attractors are tabulated in Table 2 according to the parameter .
3.4. Comparative Analysis
Referring to the survey paper [24], the first Lyapunov exponent can be one of the comparative criteria between hyperchaotic systems. Table 3 presents a comparative analysis between system (1) and two related ones, recently proposed in literature. Such a choice is based on the fact that, identical to system (1), the first comparative example contains linear piecewise functions whereas the second one is based on the jerk equation. Based on Table 3, it is clear that system (1) exhibits more complex dynamics. Thus, this confirms the highlight potential applications of noninteger order terms with respect to classical nonlinear terms.
4. Circuit Design
It is obvious that hardware implementation of chaotic systems is an interesting task in engineering applications, namely, for secure communications and random bits generation. Therefore, the aim of this section is to design an analog circuit that can build hyperchaotic behaviors according to system (1).
4.1. Design of the Analog Circuit with MultiSIM
For the circuit implementation, we choose the particular case study when the system parameter is fixed to . Thus, the proposed system will be defined by the following model: where the system parameters (, , , , , , ) are equal to (, , , , , ). System (10) exhibits four LEs such as Despite the observation of the obtained phase portraits of system (10), we deduce that the maximum value of the signal can reach the level of . Thus, is a sufficiently high voltage for the common components used in the proposed circuit. Therefore, a linear transformation for system (10) is necessary to decrease the amplitude of the state variables. Letting , , , and and then setting the original state variables , , , and instead of the variable , , , and , the adjusted system becomes the following one: The amplitude of the state variables of system (10) has decreased as shown in Figure 6. Moreover, the two systems (10) and (12) are equivalent since the linear transformation does not change the physical properties of nonlinear systems.
To design the hyperchaotic circuit of system (12), only common electronic components are used such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, multipliers, and operational amplifiers. In fact, the nonlinear terms of system (12) should be designed first, namely, the quadratic term, the absolute function, the sign function, and the square root function. The quadratic term is implemented with the analog multiplier. The square root element is designed with two operational amplifiers as only active elements [27]. The analog circuit of the square root element is provided in Figure 7.
For the theoretical study and based on [27], the second voltage source in Figure 7 should be fixed to . However, in experimentation applications, we have obtained the root square function by using a stabilized voltage equal to as shown in Figure 8. This figure describes two voltages; the first one is a positive source signal and the second one is the output signal of the square root circuit. Based on these results, the observed maximum voltages are equal to and (≃√0.72 = 0.88), respectively. Thus, the square root function is correctly obtained with . In addition, based on MultiSIM results and experimental simulations, if the source voltage is included in then system (12) generates strange attractors. To avoid making this paper more cumbersome, details on experiments and experimental results will be soon presented in future works, confirming the MultiSIM results.
The corresponding circuit equation of the hyperchaotic system can be described as
According to system (12) and (13) and design considerations, we fixed the values of the resistances and the capacitors as Finally, the obtained circuit diagram, designed with MultiSIM Software, is provided in Figure 9 where the multiplier is AD633 and the operator amplifier is UA741.
4.2. Simulation Results
For the oscillator circuit, all active devices (UA741 and AD633) are powered by . Several design considerations were taken into account to prevent degrading the hyperchaotic behavior such as the adjustment of the resistors and the capacitors for the integration operations.
The oscilloscope traces of the proposed circuit are shown in Figure 10. Comparing the different hyperchaotic attractors shown in Figures 6 and 10, a good qualitative agreement between the numerical simulations with Matlab and the electrical simulations with MultiSIM Software is observed. In fact, for MultiSIM Software, we have obtained the same attractors forms as those obtained by Matlab simulations. However, in these last attractors, some saturation effects are detected due to the operational amplifiers responses. To avoid making this paper more cumbersome, details on experiments and experimental results will be presented in future works, where saturation effects of amplifiers will be deeply analyzed.
5. Conclusions
In this paper, a novel hyperchaotic system is proposed by considering fractional-order polynomials. Analytical and numerical results show that this system exhibits more complex behaviors than those proposed by related works. Moreover, its analog circuit is designed and simulated with MultiSIM Software. In future works, experimental realization of the hyperchaotic circuit will be proposed and the saturation effects induced by the operational amplifiers will be analyzed. Thereafter, the proposed circuit will be considered for secure image encryption and decryption applications.

Client-Side web application development is becoming more and more robust. There are many amazing tools and technologies available for creating an immersive and interactive user experience. With the demand from users rising, the importance of creating code efficiently is paramount. When working with Dojo and other AMD compatible tools, you can easily harness the power of writing very modular source code. Two common challenges you might face when working with AMD are choosing meaningful names for your modules and determining naming conventions for local variable references to your modules.
First, let's review some terminology for working with AMD.
Simply put, packages are collections of modules.
dijit, and
dgrid are examples of packages. Unlike a simple collection of modules in a directory, however, packages are ingrained with extra features that can significantly enhance module portability and ease-of-use.
There are three main package configuration options.
name is the name of the package.
location is the location of the package, and can either be a path relative to
baseUrl or an absolute path.
main is an optional parameter that defaults to "main" and is used to discover the correct module to load if someone tries to require the package itself. For example, if you were to try to require "dojo", the actual file that would be loaded is "/dojo/main.js".
Properly packaging your modules is important, as you want to limit the number of dependencies each package has. If you have packages that depend on all of your other packages, you will have a really hard time using your packages independently. You will also want to package your modules in a way that makes sense. For example, you would not want to put a module that has math calculations for pi in the same package with a module that has form widgets.
A module can be a
class, a
function, an
object with
properties and
methods, or just a piece of code that executes when it is loaded. Modules are great because they allow you to write highly decoupled, succinct code that is extremely reusable.
The name for your module is automatically derived from its file location. If a module is located in the
art/shapes.js file, then it can be referenced via the identifier
art/shapes. More detailed information on the naming of modules as well as defining them and requiring them can be found in the AMD API specification.
The Dojo Loader makes relocation an easy process. If you need to reuse a module, you can simply copy its file and place it in any other directory. For example, if you move a file for your module from
art/shapes.js to
geometry/shapes.js, you can reference this module by its new identifier
geometry/shapes. As you can see, moving modules to different packages is simple. This makes decoupling and reusing your code extremely easy.
The Dojo Loader allows you to map these modules to any local variable name that you specify. Choosing these names and how your code is packaged is one of the most crucial decisions you can make as a Dojo developer. Let's take a couple of minutes to explore these areas in more detail and see how they can benefit your development efforts.
What Should I Name My Modules?
When developing modules, using proper naming conventions improves development efficiency, keeps your API clean, and reduces the need to remember the exact name of a module. This allows you to spend your time on more meaningful tasks, such as enhancements or bug fixes. Considerations you should look at when deciding what to name your modules are things such as, "Is this a constructor?" or "Is this a mixin?", etc. These things can change the recommended naming conventions for your modules.
If your module is a constructor, such as a widget, it should be in an
UpperCamelCase format. If it is a mixin, it should follow the
_UnderscoreMixin format. If it is neither of these, it should follow the
lowerCamelCase format, typically used for a singleton.
Aside from naming your modules properly, it's also a good idea to have a standard for what variable you map your modules to when using them in a
require callback. In Dojo development, this is called the "Preferred Arg Alias", and some of these are recommended in the dojo.XX AMD modules spreadsheet. As you can see in this spreadsheet, most of the module names are concise and meaningful. Their preferred arg alias is similar, if not exact, to the module name, and the modules are packaged in a way that makes sense. We are striving to improve this, and efforts for those improvements can be seen in the 1.x to 2.0 migration document. The benefits of choosing consistent local variable names are as follows:
- Preserve the recommended naming conventions for constructors, mixins, and singletons
- Provide names that are easily related to the source module
- Choosing consistent local variable names makes it easier to reuse Dojo example and tutorials
Local variable names for modules are simply references to the module included. Sometimes a module identifier does not make for an ideal local variable. For example, if the name is a common JavaScript word such as array, we recommend adding a suffix to make it arrayUtil. Or, if the module name contains a hyphen, such as
dojo/dom-construct, we recommend
Naming your modules properly, mapping them to logical argument names, and packaging them in a way that makes sense can make your code more portable and easier to maintain and understand.
If you are interested in diving into AMD in depth, SitePen provides great Dojo workshops that can help take you from a novice Dojo programmer to a Dojo master. If you've already got code implemented and would like assistance in migrating it to later versions of Dojo, or help rewriting or debugging it, SitePen also offers comprehensive JavaScript support.

EGRETDATA - CGRO/EGRET Photon Lists and Maps
Bertsch, D.L., et al. 1989, in Proc. Gamma-Ray Observatory Science Workshop, ed. W.N. Johnson (Greenbelt:NASA), 2-52 Hartman, R. C., et al. 1999, ApJS, 123, 79 Hughes, E.B., et al. 1980, IEEE, Trans. Nucl. Sci., NS-27, 364 Kanbach, G., et al. 1988, Space Sci. Rev., 49, 69 Kanbach, G., et al. 1989, in Proc. Gamma-Ray Observatory Science Workshop, ed. W.N. Johnson (Greenbelt:NASA), 2-1 Thompson, D.J., et al. 1993, ApJS, 86, 629 Thompson, D.J., et al. 1993, ApJ, 415, L13
Observation-Specific Files: Users wanting a quicklook image of the EGRET observation, should examine the EGRET Quicklook (GIF) Map file. For most other users, the standard maps contained in the EGRET Photon Count Map files or the EGRET Intensity Map files will likely be the most suitable data products to examine. Those experienced users desiring to do more detailed screening and/or timing analysis will need to get the EGRET Event List (qvp) file. Most users will not need the EGRET Exposure History (exphst) files. All of these observation-specific files are described in more detail below. The file-naming convention used for them is such that they all contain a 4-digit set of characters that specify the viewing period (usually but not always preceded by the characters 'vp'), e.g., an EGRET Event List file for viewing period 2.0 would have the filename of qvp0020f.fits. Files containing standard maps that have been produced for the standard EGRET energy ranges will further contain a 4-digit set of characters of the form 'g001', 'g002', 'g003', or 'g004' that is used to specify the energy ranges included, e.g.,
Energy Ranges of the Standard Maps Extension Energy ranges of maps in file (MeV) g001 30-50, 50-70, 70-100, 100-150, 150-300, 300-500, 500-1000, 1000-2000, 2000-4000, and 4000-10000 g002 30-100 and 100-10000 g003 30-300 and 300-1000 g004 30-1000 and 1000-10000EGRET Quicklook (GIF) Map File: This file has a filename of the type vp####.gif, and contains a GIF image of the EGRET intensity map for energies integrated above 100 MeV.
EGRET Photon Counts and Map Files: These files have filenames of the type counts_vp####_g00#.fits and contain the standard EGRET maps of the photon counts for the various standard EGRET energy ranges.
EGRET Exposure Map Files: These files have filenames of the type exposr_vp####_g00#.fits and contain the EGRET instrumental exposure maps for the various standard EGRET energy ranges.
EGRET Intensity Map Files: These files have filenames of the type intens_vp####_g00#.fits and contain the EGRET gamma-ray intensity maps for the various standard EGRET energy ranges.
EGRET Photon List File (EGRET Events File): This file has a filename of the type qvp####f.fits and contains a time-ordered list of all photons detected during the viewing periond. This includes earth albedo photons and wide-angle photons that are not useful for higher-level analysis.
EGRET Exposure History File: This file has a filename of the type exphst_v01p####.fits and contains the exposure history information. This file is used by the EGRET program INTMAP.
EGRET Low-Level Data (Primary Database Files): These files have names like pd_19990511_144958_150037.fits, where the first set of numbers is the year-month-day, the second set is the start time in hours-minutes-seconds UT, and the third set is the end time in hours-minutes-seconds UT, and are FITS versions of the EGRET Primary Database Files that were created by the CGRO Science Support Center. The different kinds of records in the original files have been segregated into different binary table extensions. Within each extension, the records remain time-ordered. The extensions are Gamma_Ray_Event, TASC_Burst_Spectra, Housekeeping, and Microsec_Burst. If no Microsecond Burst records were in the original file, the Microsec_Burst HISTORY header is not written. Since the typical duration of a PD file is several hours, there will be, in general, many such files for a given viewing period.
General Files: There are also available various other general EGRET data products including (i) a set of EGRET Combined Data files that contain composite counts, exposure, and intensity maps covering the entire sky and derived from all viewing periods, Phase 1, Phase 2, etc; (ii) a set of EGRET Diffuse Model Data files that contain an all-sky model of the diffuse gamma-ray emission in the form of FITS maps for the standard EGRET energy ranges; (iii) an EGRET/CGRO Timeline file which contains the valid observation times for each viewing period, and is used by the EGRET programs INTMAP and MAPGEN; and (iv) a set of EGRET calibration files for energy dispersion, point-spread function, and sensitive area.
The viewing period of the observation. E.g., viewing period 207.0 translates to a value of 2070 for this parameter.
A number corresponding to the proposal review and observation scheduling round for CGRO.
Right Ascension of the EGRET pointing in the specified equinox; notice that the original epoch of the positions was J2000.
Declination of the EGRET pointing in the specified equinox; notice that the original epoch of the positions was J2000.
The Galactic Longitude of the EGRET pointing.
The Galactic Latitude of the EGRET pointing.
The date and time of the beginning of the observation.
The date and time of the completion of the observation.
Flag which specifies whether EGRET was in the wide field of view or narrow field of view observation mode; the latter was used extensively later in the mission to conserve spark chamber gas by limiting the number of event triggers. (Y=Wide, N=Narrow)
This is a unique tag derived from the viewing period number that distinguishes each EGRET data set from the other data sets in the archive.

Building on the back of one the winery's best year's yet, which saw double digit growth of exports into Europe in 2012, La Riojana will be launching three new Fairtrade products on its stand A14, hall 1 at this year's ProWein (24th – 26th March 2013), including two wines from La Mia Vita, a newly created low alcohol Moscato range, as well as a Malbec Rosé for its award-winning Tilimuqui range.
With the rapidly rising popularity of Moscato wines among consumers and the current trend for slightly sweeter wines that are lower in alcohol, La Riojana has created La Mia Vita, a brand new Fairtrade Moscato range to add to its portfolio of wines. La Mia Vita comprises a Moscato Bianco 2012 and a Moscato Rosado 2012, made from 94% Moscato and 6% Malbec grapes. Both wines are just 5.5% alcohol and are produced from hand-picked grapes grown in Argentina's Famatina Valley.
In addition to this, La RIojana will be launching its Tilimuqui Single Vineyard Fairtrade Malbec Rosé 2012. This wine, produced from 100% Malbec, has been created as a range extension to La Riojana's successful Fairtrade certified brand Tilimuqui, which since its initial launch in 2006 has gone onto win a number of impressive awards, including the much coveted Torrontés trophy at the Argentina Wine Awards 2011. Current markets for Tilimuqui include the UK and The Netherlands, however there are plans to roll out the brand to other markets in the next few years.
On the same stand La Riojana will also be showcasing the latest vintage releases from its other wine ranges, including Ecologica, Raza Argentina, Raza Dolce, Raza Argentina Signature Series and Viňas Riojanas.

MUFFTix: Girl, Interrupted & Titicut Follies
Sometimes the stars align and the universe seems to be saying, "Hey, I got you." Case in point: the day after our Reel Girl Talk screening of Girl, Interrupted, where we will be discussing women, film, and mental health, Hot Docs is hosting a special screening of the essential documentary Titicut Follies with a panel discussion.
If this isn't a sign, we don't know what is. And that is why we've teamed up with our pals at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema to do a ticket giveaway to both of this events.
Reel Girl Talk: Girl Interrupted screens at the Carlton Cinema on Wednesday, May 17 at 6:30pm. Following the film will be an an intimate discussion about how it compares to the actual experiences of women dealing with mental illness and/or other mental health issues. There is a lot to discuss with this film and we look forward to taking it all on in the post-screening discussion, which will be moderated by Tina Hassannia (Freelance Film Critic for publications such as The Globe and Mail, National Post and RogerEbert.com). This month's speakers are Chloe Sosa-Sims (Director/Producer of Dan and Margot, Co-Founder of Film Fatales Toronto) and Shelley Marshall (Comedian, Creator of Hold Mommy's Cigarette and Toronto's Mental Wellness Loft).
Titicut Follies screens at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema on Thursday, May 18 at 6:30pm as part of their "Films Changing The World" programme. From the event description: "Regarded as one the greatest working documentary filmmakers, Wiseman's career began 50 years ago with this controversial masterpiece that took an unflinching look at the mistreatment, abuse and humiliation undergone by the patients at the State Prison for the Criminally Insane in Bridgewater, Massachusetts." Following the film will be a panel discussion moderated by Geoff Pevere (program director of Rendezvous with Madness Film Festival) and featuring speakers Shelley McMain (clinical psychologist at CAMH), Dr. Kwame MacKenzie, (Director of Health Equity at CAMH and CEO of the Wellesley Institute) and Lisa Brown (Executive Artistic Director of Workman Arts).
Two totally different films and two totally different events but both with the same goal: to continue openly discussing mental health and to battle the stigma that surrounds it. We're super proud to be part of the discussion with Hot Docs and we hope you're able to join us at both events. See below for the ticket giveaway information! Alternatively, you can purchase tickets to Reel Girl Talk: Girl, Interrupted here and to Titicut Follies here.

I was on a holiday in some remote part of Transylvania when my car ran out of petrol. I was left at the side of the road when a horse-cart drew up and the driver offered me a lift. Night was falling as we reached a very lonely spot when suddenly a howl in the distance frightened the horses and they bolted. I was thrown out of the cart and am left at the side of the road with nothing in my pocket.
I must try to escape, and in the process find petrol and a way to start my car.
I heard the driver of the coach shout that there are *treasures* to find!

text: A more obvious self portrait I suppose. Although I could say that all of my work is self portraiture some extant while I attempt to paint what "it" feels like to be in my skin. This one is certainly exposing the outward image of the face, arms, and hands. The "bundles" are also quite external looking fabric, but my hope it to evolve that into more non-representational forms. For now it is about getting the volume resolved, then I will look for the forms within and draw them out. Here are photos of this process to date.
