ACIM Supplemental Reading for December 26
A Jesus Prayer
A Child, a Man and then a Spirit, come
In all Your loveliness. Unless You shine
Upon my life, it is a loss to You,
And what is loss to You is also mine.
I cannot calculate why I am here
Except for this: I know that I have come
To seek You here and find You. In Your life
You show the way to my eternal home.
A child, a man and then a spirit. So
I follow in the way You show to me
That I may come at last to be like You.
What but Your likeness would I want to be?
There is a silence where You speak to me
And give me words of love to say for You
To those You send to me. And I am blessed
Because in them I see You shining through.
There is no gratitude that I can give
For such a gift. The light around Your head
Must speak for me, for I am dumb beside
Your gentle hand with which my soul is led.
I take Your gift in holy hands, for You
Have blessed them with Your own. Come, brothers, see
How like to Christ am I, and I to you
Whom He has blessed and holds as one with me.
A perfect picture of what I can be
You show to me, that I might help renew
Your brothers' failing sight. As they look up
Let them not look on me, but only You.
By Helen Schucman

ACIM Workbook Lesson for December 26
Lesson 352
Judgment and love are opposites. From one
Come all the sorrows of the world. But from
The other comes the peace of God Himself.
Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone, and judges not. Through this I come to You. Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind. Yet love, reflected in forgiveness here, reminds me You have given me a way to find Your peace again. I am redeemed when I elect to follow in this way. You have not left me comfortless. I have within me both the memory of You, and One Who leads me to it. Father, I would hear Your Voice and find Your peace today. For I would love my own Identity, and find in It the memory of You.
Lesson 353
My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today
Have but one purpose; to be given Christ
To use to bless the world with miracles.
Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ, to use in any way that best will serve the purpose that I share with Him. Nothing is mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose. Thus has learning come almost to its appointed end. A while I work with Him to serve His purpose. Then I lose myself in my Identity, and recognize that Christ is but my Self.
ACIM Q & A for Today
Q #120: Did Jesus ever discuss giving up meat during any of his talks with Helen? In the Essene Gospels, he talks quite a bit about not eating meat. What's your view on this?
A: In scribing A Course in Miracles, Helen Schucman did not receive any instruction regarding eating meat — the topic was not discussed. The Course is not the same teaching as the Essene Gospels. It is a Course on content, not form, and so there are no directives for behavior, as in the Essene Gospels.
There are two very important principles of the Course that may be helpful to consider in response to your question, both are stated in the same passage: "There is no life outside of Heaven. Where God created life, there life must be. In any state apart from Heaven life is illusion" (T.23.II.19:1,2,3). If no life exists outside of Heaven, and any other state is an illusion, it would be very inconsistent with the Course's teaching that any kind of behavior in the dream be awarded significance. The Course is teaching us to become aware of the interpretation we give to everything, thereby becoming aware of the thoughts, beliefs, and judgments that make up our ego thought system. In this way we will be able to learn to see the true connection between cause and effect, and understand that the source of all our pain is in the mind. Therefore the only thing the Course asks us to do is pay attention to our thoughts, see them as the cause of any condition we may find ourselves in, and bring them to the Holy Spirit so they can be transformed. Beyond this the Course does not give any specific behavioral directives for choices made in an hallucination: "What if you recognized this world is an hallucination?" (T.20.VIII.7:3) Based on these important principles of the Course it is not in keeping with its thought system to abstain from meat because it means killing a "living" creature, or because it is a "spiritually superior" thing to do. With regard to this, as to any specific situation or problem we may have, the Course instructs us to ask but one question: "This is the question that you must learn to ask in connection with everything. What is the purpose? Whatever it is, it will direct your efforts automatically" (T.4.V.6:8,9,10). Everything serves the purpose of the ego or that of the Holy Spirit. Whether we eat meat or refrain from eating meat, the important thing to remember is that we do not make decisions by ourselves: "You will not make decisions by yourself whatever you decide. For they are made with idols or with God" (T.30.I.14:7,8). Our choice will reinforce the ego's thought system, that the world is real, and what we eat makes a difference, or the Holy Spirit's thought system, that the world is an illusion, and the only thing that matters in the dream is healing our mind of the thought that we believe we separated from God. Regarding specific behavior, Krishnamurti offered very helpful advice to one of his followers in reference to having sex, which we can paraphrase to apply to your question: "Eat meat, or don't eat meat, but get on with it."

Something that not many people know about Kevin was that he used to be in a professional breakdance group that opened for small bands and fashion shows. In 1985 they even won the Colorado State Championship! Ask Kevin if you want to know the name of his breakdance group. Something that not many people know about Suzi is that when earning her Associate's Degree in Zookeeping, she did an externship at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

What is wrong in burning Manusmriti: JNU students ask university
JNU students who were asked to "explain their position" questioned the university about what is wrong in burning the Manusmriti.india Updated: Mar 21, 2016 22:08 IST
JNU students who were asked by the university to "explain their position" in connection with burning the copies of ancient text Manusmriti, have questioned the administration about what is wrong in it.
Weeks after the controversial event against Afzal Guru's hanging was held on the campus, five ABVP rebels joined by left-backed All India Students Association (AISA) and Congress-affiliated National Students Union of India (NSUI) burned sections of Manusmriti at the Sabarmati Dhaba on March 8, which was also the venue of the earlier event.
The JNU administration had last week issued notices to five students asking them to explain their "position" in connection with the event despite the varsity administration denying permission for it.
"What is wrong in burning copies of Manusmriti? Protesting against anything that we find derogatory is our right. Also this is not the first time that copies of that book have been burned by us," one of the students said.
Two other students said the notices issued to them do not mention what is the "offence" for which they have been asked to offer an explanation.
Former ABVP office-bearer, Pradeep Narwal, who had resigned from the party citing differences over the current row at the university, was one of the main organisers of the event.
He is yet to respond to the notice served to him.
"I got the notice today itself as I wasn't in the university. I am yet to respond to it but what is the problem in burning the copies of something we do not agree with? We have not burned the entire book but only the portions that we find objectionable," he said.
While three of the organisers were former ABVP office-bearers, two of them are still with the party but differ with their stand on Manusmriti.
The university administration had then maintained that they had denied permission for the event and the security was briefed about the same.

Golda Meir was a woman with a lifelong commitment and an unfailing dedication in bringing her dream to a reality. Her dream was for Israel to be a safe homeland for the Jewish nation, including the Zionist Movement, which she wanted people to clearly understand. Zionism served as a strong belief that the Jews should gain their fatherland in Israel that they had lost to the Romans in 70 A.D. Golda Meir never lost sight of this goal, and did countless things for Israel. If only we could have her compassion, strength, courage and intelligence- then would we all be able to make such a perpetual effect on the world's countries as she did.
On May rd, 188, Golda was born into a family in Kiev, Russia. Her family was quite destitute, and there was much hunger and tears. "I remember too clearly how poor we were. There was never enough of anything, not food, not warm clothing, not heat at home. I was always a little too cold outside and a little too empty inside." Golda remembers that gruel (a certain type of grain) was a luxury in their household, and at times, her own gruel was confiscated for the sake of her younger siblings. She felt life's hardships and thought that there was no righteous justice served anywhere. Her sister, Sheyna, fainted from hunger in school. Golda says that it's sad to recall her memories, for she had rare pleasant times at home. Pogroms were all over during this time, looking to persecute for the Jews as they called them "Christ Killers". They were to do terrible things to the Jewish families, gesturing knives and huge sticks.
"I can remember how I stood on the stairs that led to the second floor in my building where another Jewish family lived. The mother of that family held hands with her little daughter, while watching our fathers trying to barricade the entrance with boards of wood." It was a fearful time for Golda, possessing a small point of view being a young child, and she did not yet understand the dirty politics of the world. These inclement conditions of their personal poverty and pogroms caused them to migrate to America in 106, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There she started middle school until she learned she was to marry a man twice her age at 14, and so she ran to her sisters house in Denver, Colorado to begin High School soon after.
It was at her sisters that Golda grew continuously interested in the Zionist Movement. There, guests had came to discuss Zionism and it's works. She joined the Zionist movement, and from there- the rest is almost history! On December 4, 117 she married Morris Myerson, who she loved even though he had not shared her enthusiasm on Zionism. In the first few months of their marriage, Golda had traveled all over the United States producing new Zionist groups and fundraising. "I listened to the other groups, I heard what they had to say, but it was to the Socialist Zionists that I found myself listening most attentively, and it was their political philosophy of Israel that made the most sense to me." Golda understood and completely accepted the idea for Israel to be the home for the Jews- a place on the Earth where Jews could be free and independent. Zionisim captured her eye more than the political scene in Denver or even then what was going on in Russia.
Golda's dream was to join a Kibbutz, a communal farm, in Israel, and so she left America and went to Merhavia, Israel to fulfill this dream. Her personality was strong, and when she saw something that she wanted to be a part of, nothing could block her from going her own way. Golda was the type of person who got places she wanted to go when she wanted to go. She gave her all into every job she felt would help build the Jewish homeland. One of her main Middot was most definitely determination. Morris had not always liked her travelling and intense involvement in politics, but she had always remained independent and strong in her belief- and kept going with utmost determination to ease the sore backs of the Jewish people.
Golda steadfastly became even more involved with Israel's movements. In 146, she became the head of the Jewish Agencys political department. Then in 147 she traveled to the United States once more to raise money to purchase arms for Israel. This fundraiser was said to be impossible by many people, but Golda pressed on, determination shining right through. With perseverance, she returned to Israel with 50 Million-, which made Israel possible. She then became appointed Israel's ambassador to the Soviet Union. Even though she created relationships this way with the Soviet Union, the job required much labor, and Golda wasn't happy with it. Luckily, she was elected Israel's minister of labor which allowed her to stay home and not travel as much- and this she was satisfied with. In 148, Israel was established as a state. "The state of Israel! My eyes filled with tears, and my hands shook. We had done it. We had brought the Jewish State into existence! And I, Golda Mabovitch Meyerson, had lived to see the day." Golda was so relieved, for she felt that the exile of the Jewish people was over, and now we finally had our home. "Too late to save those that perished in the Holocaust, but not to late too save generations to come."
It is known that for many decades, even centuries, women leaders have sought to strengthen laws to guarantee themselves equal rights. Many legislative efforts sometimes successfully increased womens rights, but the gains were often very difficult, and many major efforts to pass Constitutional Amendments guaranteeing equal rights failed. During World War II, several million American women took factory production jobs to aid the war effort. But after the war had ended, these women were forced to leave their job to make room for the returning soldiers. Society encouraged women to become full-time housewives. Devotion to home and family and the rejection of a career emerged as the ideal image for women.
But a new wave to help women receive their rights began in the 160's. Women were tired of being known as a person who would just take care of dishes and clothing, running the house day in and day out. Womens groups fully discovered discrimination in the workplace, where women received less pay and fewer promotions than men did. They also uncovered boundaries to women seeking political office and to female students striving for higher education.
Golda Meir was way ahead of her own time. We see so openly her determination, and grand leadership, which she used to help pull her through Israel's difficulties, and the worlds. She began within herself the beginning of Womens' rights. Did it matter that not many women before her had been in her position? Did it bother her that she wasn't young, or wealthy? Golda Meir was a strong lady, full of dreams and goals, which she established for her country, no matter her sex or status.
Golda was discovered to have cancer in 16, but that did not stop her from doing anything-nothing in her lifetime ever did stop her. After working 4 years for Israel, she began thinking of retiring- for this was too much work for her. She backed off from her position as foreign minister, and Prime Minister Levi Eshkol took her place. Only after a few months into her retirement, Golda felt she couldn't just retire and so she became Labor Party secretary general. Prime Minister Eshkol died of a heart attack in 16, and Golda was asked to take his place, only temporarily. She saw how much Israel really needed her, and she knew it was going to be exhausting. She decided to serve Israel again. On March 7, she was voted in. She became so busy and had so little time, she would have meetings at her kitchen table at night. This was a challenge for Golda, but as usual, with her determination, she took it up as a way to help her people through.
Israel began to have serious problems with the Arab enemies, and there were many loses. Golda mourned each lost with such heart-felt sorrow. "We count each one, and each sorrow is not only of the mother, but of all mothers, of everybody in the country. Then on October 6th, 17, the Arab-Israeli war broke out where ,500 Israeli's were killed. It is said that this great loss might have been prevented if Golda would have used a callup of the defense forces. And because so, many protests and critics had bothered her, and accused her, and so- she resigned.
Golda's cancer wasn't getting any better, but this didn't discourage and bother has nearly as much as Israel's own problems did. She began to work out some peace efforts, but on October 1th, 178, she entered the hospital and passed away. She had wanted no eulogies.
Can you imagine- a woman so strong in her commitment to a country, a woman so determined to make a difference in the world…and did…wanted no eulogies? This woman possessed a great deal of humility. She did more for Israel than any other person did. She built relationships with her people, felt for each one that passed away, and did all she could with the power and energy she had remaining. Many presidents I know of today, and even some in the past, do not even nearly come close to Golda Meir. They are in mostly for the politics, and yes, sometimes do make accomplishments-but are they really in it for the welfare of the people themselves, like Meir was? Golda, through her dedication to the cause, gave Jewish people hope. Her attitude was uplifting, and her success made Jews proud to have her as a representative of their community and to call her a Jew.
Gershon Fradkin, the director of the Foreign Training Department of the Ministry of Agriculture's Extension service, wrote a tribute to Golda Meir saying
"Whether as Ambassador, Minister or Prime Minister, to everyone in Israel she was Golda, as she was for the many students she met and talked with. She had simplicity of manner and a talent for immediate heart-to-heart contact, which made it easy to talk to her. In my travels in Africa through the years I met with eloquent testimony to the love and admiration which she inspired - the many children who bear the name Golda."
Meir's love for Israel was immeasurable and everlasting. Her name, Meir, in Hebrew, means light. For sure this is a name that exactly describes her as a person. A light unto the country, a light unto the people, and a light unto the Jewish Nation as a whole, forever.

Article published on October 2013 in Legal Eye and reproduced by courtesy of Stephenson Harwood
In its latest Global Market Forecast in September, Airbus predicted that in the next 20 years the world will need to double the size of its aircraft fleet from 17,740 aircraft to 36,560 aircraft, as a consequence of economic growth, and increased air travel by the affluent
middle classes in fast growing markets, such as India and China. Of the new 29,220 passenger and freight aircraft predicted by Airbus to be
required, worth over £2.7 trillion, 10,400 will replace existing jets with more fuel-efficient models, with aircraft sizes increasing to make the best use of limited airport capacity.
With air travel becoming increasingly accessible in all parts of the world, the growth of the travelling middle classes, and increased
urbanisation, tourism and migration in emerging economies, Airbus predicts that by 2032 two thirds of the population in emerging markets will take at least one flight annually.
Airbus is also predicting that by 2032 domestic flights within China will be the world's largest airline market, outgrowing the US domestic market, and that the wider Asia-Pacific region will account for 34% of the total distance travelled by fare-paying passengers.

The Guardian, November 9, 2015
The social security loophole is only one of many benefits that profit those who are already better off. Others include tax and estate laws that exempt married couples from estate and gift taxes or lower estate tax liability; tax breaks from capital gains when selling a house, which double for married couples; the income tax "marriage benefit", which favors unequal earners when one is the main breadwinner over couples with two relatively low earned incomes.
Some of these benefits attendant to marriage cannot be claimed to promote marriage among the poor and working class, as they rarely own property. And, in any event, studies consistently indicate that lack of wealth is a motivation not to get married.
Will people stop marrying if the state stops subsidizing marriage? While such a change might have an effect on the motivation to marry, I doubt if it will be significant. Marriage comes with many other benefits: medical benefits (such as adding a spouse to employer-provided health insurance), decision-making rights (such as health directive) and financial obligations between the spouses upon divorce, such as spousal support and equal division of property. And there are well-known social and health benefits to getting married too.

Nightwalk (2013)
Several figures move through the darkness on a cliff-edge. An inaudible conversation near the brow of the cliff may be the cause for the group to disband. The rest of the film follows the solitary journey of the youngest member of the group, until she rests; where land meets the sea.
"Nightwalk is superb and very haunting." – Nicole Brenez
"Very impressive. L'Avventura for the Starless" – Phil Solomon, filmmaker
"Nightwalk (Scott Barley) is one of the three best short films I saw in 2014, along with Gradiva (Leos Carax), and À propos de Venise (Jean-Marie Straub)." – Filipe Furtado, film critic
"What ties Nightwalk to [Philippe Grandrieux's] La vie nouvelle is in their images, in their attempt to give warmth to bodies which are coverings of energy and heat slowly dissolving into pure spirit... A brilliant artifice of craftsmanslike technique. Visionary and powerful." – Alberto Libera, Lo Specchio Scuro
"A hauntingly beautiful short film." - Jesse Richards, founder of The Remodernist Film Movement

I love wearing maxi dresses in warmer seasons. They are easy to throw-on-and-go, they are super comfortable, and they make you feel glam without looking like you have tried too hard. #IWokeUpLikeThis, anyone? And this navy number from H&M is the latest addition to my maxi line-up.

Gloomy Floral: Jacaranda and Print Crop Top
Sydneysiders would have noticed the purple bloom of Jacaranda is in full swing at the moment. The weather might have been rainy all week, but that didn't stop the city from being awash by these bright purple patches. And the profusion of the flowers inspired me to build today's outfit!
Low-key Birthday Dinner: Lynn Shanghai Cuisine
Mr. D and I have been on a quest of Shanghai cuisine lately. It was his birthday a while back, and we decided to head to Lynn Shanghai Cuisine, a restaurant we have planned to visit for ages.
Simple Hack to Summer Ready Nails: Scholl Velvet Smooth Electronic Nail Care System
If you've been following the runway trend closely, you would have noticed quite a lot of designers are in favour of neutral tone or even naked (but buffed) nails in the last few seasons. As a girl who prefers a nude makeup look, I also tend to keep my nails completely naked for most of the time. Therefore, I couldn't contain myself when I saw the Scholl Velvet Smooth Electronic Nail Care System in Priceline!
Rimmel London 24HR Supercurler Volume & Curl Mascara Review
When it comes to mascara, Asian brands usually work better for me. My natural lashes lack a curl to begin with, and a lot of the Western brand mascaras weigh them down further. So when I heard about Rimmel London new 24HR Supercurler Volume & Curl Mascara comes with a built-in lash curler power, I knew I had to try it.
New Dumpling Joint in the Town: Luyu and Yum Yum
Last week I sent this message to Mr. D via WhatsApp: `there is a new Yum Cha place in Newtown', and I immediately received a whole bunch of googly eyes emoji from him. Steaming dumplings, crispy little fried goodies, and copious amount of tea. Who wouldn't be happy?
Cup Day in the Office
Happy Melbourne Cup Day! For those who are in Australia, are you heading to the racecourses today? Well, I am going to work. But there will be a Cup Day catch-up with a client as well as an office party, i.e. a work-appropriate Spring Racing outfit is needed!
Going All Green: Culotte Jumpsuit with Print Details
To me, mix-and-matching is everything. Let's be real – who has the money to buy new clothes every day? I wore this culotte jumpsuit to a bloggers brunch last month, and have decided to take it out for another run a couple days ago.
Darlington Cheap Eat: Jap's Table
When life gets busy, I always turn to my trusty local takeaway joints and Jap's Table is one of them. It is so funny that I've ordered takeaway from them countless times but I had never dined in the restaurant before till a couple days ago.
How to Stay Stylish on Rainy Days
I don't know about you but I absolutely hate rainy days. Wake up, roll over, and the next thing I notice is a big rain cloud coming towards my direction? That's almost like an omen to me. Why even bother to wake up and get dressed? But no, it's still time to get up. Instead of reaching for the leggings and oversized T-shirt dress, this time I have come around and decided to make the most of a bad-weather day. Ahead are some of my styling hacks when the rain hits.

Good fit comfy
Jane G.
I am 4'11", 95lbs and prefer a good fitting saddle to padding in the bottoms. The tights are good, not a fan of the wide wast band which has replaced the more comfortable wast bands of old. Being small the padding is too wide. It probably is the same size padding that is in all the sizes so the smaller you go in size the bulkier it is. Ok for a ride but not comfortable to walk around in and is quite noticeable from behind. I'm still using my 10yr old pad free , wide wast free bottoms and would like to replace them. Sorry to say this is not it.
love that the tights are multi season appropriate but protection where it's needed is lacking. Have done 30 mile rides and that seems to be too long a ride for chamois comfort. Need a multi season tight with good chamois protection

O Que E Decred Mining: Your Digital Needs Done Right – BitCoin
We would like to thank you for coming to our site in search of "O Que E Decred Mining" online. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers assert that there is "real" worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth increases due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that's worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some kind of reward so that you can ensure the shortfall. Each coin consists of many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, which is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of all transactions lives. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason behind this could be merely that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It truly is also possible the regulators just don't understand the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act. In the event of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it could actually be exchanged as being a product. Advocates of cryptocurrencies say this kind of digital income isn't manipulated by a fundamental bank system and is not therefore subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are always a limited number of products, this coin's price is dependant on market forces, letting entrepreneurs to trade over cryptocurrency trades.
O Que E Decred Mining – Your Wealth is in The Cloud – Bitcoin
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the different nodes of the network has become the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms offering long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the correct area at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these firms determine how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is occurring to discover how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it mended. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these problems are resolved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any centralized company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a devoted supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current built-in difficulties to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could increase drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business that could lead to business being unable to continue to manage or to discontinue operation. You have probably noticed this often where you generally spread the good word about crypto. "It's not risky? What goes on if the price failures? " sofar, several POS systems offers free conversion of fiat, alleviating some concern, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, many people is going to be reluctant to hold any. We must find a way to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to comprehend how the process operates in and of itself, but it is basically vital that you comprehend that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we know them now where Governments and banks can just choose to print endless amounts (I 'm not saying they are doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. When searching forO Que E Decred Mining, there are many things to consider.

So if you are attempting to do something illegal, it isn't a good idea because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see forever. Bitcoin is the chief cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or any regulatory agencies. As such, it's more resistant to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can easily be realized by just being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't put your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of possession in the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they participate in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits advanced dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof that a transaction happened. This can be possibly used within an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Since among the oldest forms of making money is in cash financing, it is a fact that you can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites now focus on Bitcoin, many of these websites you happen to be needed fill in a captcha after a particular period of time and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co site to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to produce a reasonable investment strategy. If you are in search of O Que E Decred Mining, look no further than Bitcoin.

It should be challenging to get more modest increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having modest increases is more rewarding than trying to resist up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to look at books than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Secondly, there's more unpredictability and compensation in monies that have not made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz. You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast.

KBR cooperating with DOJ investigation of Unaoil
Oil and gas services firm KBR said in its quarterly report Friday that the DOJ has contacted the company in connection with an investigation of Unaoil.
The Huffington Post/Fairfax Media reported a month ago that Monaco-based Unaoil acted as an intermediary to pay bribes for big international companies, mainly from the oil and gas sector.
The report cited information in files allegedly leaked from Unaoil.
Police in Monaco raided Unaoil's offices after the report appeared.
Unaoil has denied the bribery allegations.
Citing leaked documents, the Huffington Post said KBR hired Unaoil "to help it win oil and gas contracts in Kazakhstan."
In 2009, KBR and its former parent Halliburton paid $579 million to the DOJ and SEC to resolve FCPA offenses in Nigeria. The settlement still ranks as the third biggest FCPA enforcement action ever.
Houston-based KBR admitted paying Nigerian officials at least $182 million in bribes for contracts awarded between 1995 and 2004 to build liquefied natural gas facilities on Bonny Island, Nigeria.
The contracts won by a KBR-led international joint venture were worth more than $6 billion.
KBR's former CEO, Albert "Jack" Stanley, pleaded guilty in September 2008 to conspiring to violate the FCPA. He was sentenced to thirty months in prison.
The HuffPo reported in late March that while the DOJ investigated the Nigeria bribes, "a KBR employee emailed Unaoil to warn [that] the American company was 'tightening' anti-corruption controls in response to the federal probe."
"Despite this, KBR continued to pay Unaoil for work in Kazakhstan for years afterward," the story said.
KBR has denied wrongdoing, the HuffPo said.
* * *
The disclosure in KBR Inc.'s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on April 29, 2016 said:
Recently, there have been news reports related to Unaoil, a Monaco based company, and activities Unaoil may have engaged in related to international projects involving several global companies, including KBR. It has also been reported that the U.S. DOJ is conducting an investigation of Unaoil related to the information reported in these news articles. The DOJ has contacted the Company in connection with that investigation and the Company is cooperating with its requests for information.

One of my favorite places for a quick, relaxed nature visit.
Shady, not too many people and water for the dogs to cool off in. And in walking distance.
Quite a bit of nature and wildlife as well.
Two of the more prominent visitors is a Kingfisher (I didn't see him the first two months around, but now he's back), two Grey Wagtails (it should be white Wagtails being at home here, but funny enough, I see those away from the water - German translation of their name would hint that they are the ones living close to this kind of river).
There are also all kinds of Tits, Nuthatches in abundance (I think their youngsters just learned to tend for themselves), Swifts flying over and some House Martins to go, some spotted Woodpeckers and the occasional Green one, many families of Blackcaps, Robins, a few Bluethroats, Black Redstarts, of course Mallards, very few Song Thrushes, of course Wood Pigeons, Magpies, Jays, Rooks and Blackbirds. I've seen some breeding Starlings, but they might have moved on. Occasionally there are some Collared Doves. In the bushes you see flitting Wrens (I love the German name: Zaunkoenig - Fence King).
I haven't seen the Grey Heron and the Dipper in a while, maybe they come back one of these days.
I am sure there's a lot that I don't get to see and a lot I cannot name.
All the trees, plants, butterflies and Critters. Damselflies and occasionally a big Dragonfly. Various fish species and loads of different Grasshoppers who sometimes park themselves on you when you stand still (had a fat grey one on my foot yesterday).

Extreme Refractory Erythema Nodosum Leprosum Successfully Treated With The Tumor Necrosis Component Inhibitor Etanercept
Erythema nodosum is a kind of panniculitis. Panniculitis happens when there is usually inflammation of the coating of fat lying within the pores and skin. The inflammation causes reddish colored rounded lumps (nodules) to create just below your skin surface, which will be tender. Erythema nodosum mostly impacts both shins.
Erythema nodosum is certainly a self-limited disorder. Recovery is definitely filled with no further difficulties or sequelae. Treatment is definitely symptomatic because of this disorder. Nevertheless, treatment of the triggering mechanism, if known, has to be instituted first 5.
A streptococcal infection. That is a kind of germ (bacterial) infection. It really is the most typical result in for erythema nodosum in kids. A streptococcal sore throat may be the usual infection. Streptococcal attacks are also a prevalent result in for erythema nodosum in parents.
If a drug response is suspected, it ought to be eliminated. Corticosteroids could be effective but aren't usually necessary or advised 6. Oral corticosteroids work, but only temporarily 2. Affiliated adverse effects of the drugs restrict their work with to extreme cases for short-term work with. Recurrence of erythema nodosum pursuing discontinuation of treatment is certainly prevalent, and underlying infectious disease could be worsened 6.
gyrate erythema (erythema gyra´tum) erythema multiforme seen as a the production of lesions that have a tendency to migrate and distributed peripherally with central clearing. It's been theorized that erythema nodosum is because of a T-cell mediated response between prevalent antigens and your skin 3, suggesting that genetic factors are likely involved in identifying who'll develop these cutaneous symptoms 3. Erythema nodosum connected with antiphospholipid antibodies: a written report of three cases.
Erythema nodosum is 4 times more prevalent in women than in men. Though it can occur in people of any age, it really is most common in persons between the age range of 18 and 34 (Matthews). Leprosy: Clinically, erythema nodosum leprosum resembles EN, however the histologic picture can be that of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Certain medicines. A a reaction to certain medicines may induce erythema nodosum in a few persons - for instance, reactions for some antibiotics or the put together oral contraceptive pill. Ferri FF. Erythema nodosum. In: Ferri FF, ed. Ferri's Clinical Advisor 2016. Philadelphia, PA: Elsevier; 2016:486-486. Patients should be educated that lesions should solve without scarring but may continue steadily to erupt for eight weeks. Up to 40% of patients have recurrences and so are much more likely in patients with unfamiliar etiology of erythema nodosum.
The classic display for erythema nodosum may be the occurrence of acute tender, nice, erythematous, subcutaneous nodules on the bilateral pretibial areas that evolve into ecchymotic lesions which solve without scarring or ulceration over an interval of weeks to a few months. The nodules will be deep and easier palpable than visualized. A prodrome of fever, malaise, arthralgias, and arthritis can often be described ahead of the eruption of your skin lesions.
Lipomembranous or membranocystic panniculitis is certainly a histopathologic pattern that is referred to in residual lesions of various kinds of panniculitis, incorporating erythema nodosum. 156 It involves cystic spaces in the fats lobule that derive from necrosis of the adipocytes. The cystic spaces will be lined with a homogeneous eosinophilic membrane with convoluted projections in to the cystic cavity. These intracystic papillary projections stain brightly with periodic acid-Schiff and Sudan dark-colored and so are resistant to diastase. Inside our thoughts and opinions, lipomembranous or membranocystic panniculitis is certainly a histopathologic structure that may been observed in residual lesions of various kinds of panniculitis and isn't a particular variant of panniculitis.

Deborah Beck Mirrored by Therese Kenyon April 2010
Deborah Beck is captivated by the concurrence of the distorted, yet informative convex mirror that can pull a whole interior together into one contained image. She paints interiors using a convex mirror or a seeing eye amidst the layered patterns of grilles and wallpaper and creates a world to view but never to enter.
Beck's most recent work is the culmination of a residency in Paris in 2005 when she set out to explore and study the interiors of historic houses that preserve the legacy of artists, poets and writers in Paris. She was excited by the textures and patterns within each house or room and made drawings of the complex and opulent patterns in the wallpapers. She also photographed them for reference and noticed upon her return to Australia that in a set of photographs of the 'Maison de Victor Hugo' at the Place des Vosges, was a convex mirror which captured the whole room.
She immediately responded to the surprise factor of discovering a way to recall the apartment through this glassy surface. 'Hugo's Wallpaper' was consequently the first work in this series to be completed. Another large painting depicts the wallpaper in the cell where Marie Antoinette was held captive, the Fleur de Lys prominent in its design, lending it a certain poignancy. The next in the series is from an Australian historic house - Elizabeth Bay House Sydney, built and occupied by the Macleay family from the 1830s until 1849. Wall paper patterns are created by Beck using thickly textured paint and collage and the painting features a gilded convex mirror placed off-centre in the composition, reflecting the formal setting of table, chairs, red curtains and chandelier.
The convex mirror was a device used by Dutch artist, Jan van Eyck eg. (The Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife, 1434). The reflected world in that mirror told the viewer even more about how the occupants lived. As a contemporary artist Beck is more drawn to the juxtaposition of the flat but highly decorated wall, inset with a globular lens that is mercurial and shifting as the viewer moves. She meticulously documents with small drawings, gouaches and photographs, and builds up surfaces with antique Indian block stencils, as well as her own hand drawn and cut stencils to create intriguing and complex grounds. Into these a spherical eye is placed, not to see in but to reflect the surroundings behind the viewer - a highly unstable image within an almost photographically rendered grille or wall, thereby creating an impenetrable painted surface. The largest work is a jigsaw of panels fitted together to suggest the cultural layering that connects Beck's travels to France and China where the rich red and the pattern of the grilles used in the Forbidden City are interlaced with early French designs.
The smaller drawings and gouaches on paper reference pop art (Rauschenberg style) in their combination of loose expressive strokes laid over and behind photographic remnants from other sources. These have a modernist 'look' using text and found images with mirrors underlying and intertwined as well but with no figurative reflection. The research drawings are figurative but use the layering of pencil marks to build up the foil for the surreal image in the glass lens against the flat patterns of the wallpaper designs.
The compressed image in the mirror is a 'portrait' of a particular occupant's life without needing a face to be recorded. Even so, the circular shape of the mirror reflects the character and world of the non-sitter. This circle of light and reflection has a jewel-like presence as seen in antique gold lockets, watches and compasses that possibly contain or are themselves mementos of family histories. Beck has acquired her own convex mirror now and has viewed and translated other artists and people's houses into her series.
Painting history would seem to be strange in the 21st century but this artist is an archivist and historian as well and she knows the richness and depth to be found in hidden and disregarded records and images. New art can be made from this detritus and new realizations about our own times can be pulled through to the present. Beck says she has tried to keep her two worlds separated but inevitably she senses that her dual passions merge and become something different and just as valid - creating richness, memory and an intimate interpretation of life.

The current situation in Somali is not conducive to oil exploration and the only companies that are ready to operate in such an unstable environment are risk takers whose terms can only be disadvantageous to the Somali people. In high risk investments, investors normally demand high rewards. The higher the risk, the higher the rate of return demanded for the risk premium. In Somalia, the risk premium is very high indeed and the best Somalia can hope to get from any deals negotiated under the current circumstances would only benefit the few individuals in power and subject the country to untold suffering and environmental degradation at a scale not seen before.
If you are a fan of Hollywood thrillers like me, you may have watched the movie shooters in which an Ethiopian archbishop is assassinated in order to prevent him from talking about Americans committing genocide to build an oil pipeline in a remote Ethiopian village. Although the assassination of the Archbishop is secondary in the plot, it does remind one of the greed of oil companies that would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. The greed of oil companies coupled with the shortsightedness of misguided local politicians can be very detrimental to the Somali people.
If you have been following events in the South of Somalia, there are reports by some news agencies that talk about intercepted communication in which Special Forces are told not to leave behind any survivors during the campaign against the ICU members. We still do not know what these forces were covering up, but we should expect more of the same in the future when it comes to oil in Somalia. We may lose entire villages in the process of oil exploration. We can take queue from the recent events in Majayahan, a small village in Eastern Sanaag, where a small Australian mining company started excavating without the prior knowledge and consent of the villagers. Many died in the skirmishes that resulted from the confrontation. Imagine what a well-equipped army would be capable of doing when it comes to big-time oil and the need to pacify entire villages in the interest of the flow of oil.
The scenes of burning people in Nigeria in their quest for siphoning a few liters of oil from pipelines going through their territories without benefiting them should be a lesson for all of us when it comes to big-time oil.
The environment in Somalia has already suffered irreversible degradation in the form of burning trees for coal and chemical and nuclear dumping. The Iranian hospital in Dubai has recently noticed the high rate of cancer patients coming from Somalia. This may very well be the result of the suspected nuclear waste dumped in the country during the 16 years of anarchy as revealed by the Tsunami that hit the country in 2004.
The most vulnerable people in the exploration for oil in Somalia would be the nomads who eke a living out of a harsh environment with their herds of camels, goats and sheep. Oil spills as the result of irresponsible drilling methods and sabotaged or broken pipelines would wreak havoc on the pastures frequented by these nomads and would end nomadic life in Somalia as we know it today.
While many would argue the benefits of oil exploration in Somalia, we should balance such benefits against the numerous hazards posed by such explorations under the current circumstances.
Oil exploration in Somalia would only benefit the country when the Somali people have fully reconciled; fair and free elections have taken root in all parts of the country; educated Somalis have come back to the country from all corners of the world; the education system has been fully re-established, all government institutions are functioning properly and staffed with competent individuals; the country has a competent Oil Minister like the honorable Ahmed Zaki Yamani who knows how to deal with the titans.
Somali activists should not take this lightly and should start forming green-peace style parties to prevent the exploitation of our country in these tough times.
I finally salute Mr. Yabrow for alerting us to the greed, incompetence, and shortsightedness of the individuals who put their self-interest before the interest of the Somali nation.

This was my last weekend of class for the semester. My last weekend of driving the 1.5 hours to Boise for 2 days of intensive coursework followed by the 1.5 hour drive home and an epic crash in my bed with all the things in my head.
Well… for this semester, anyway. I have another such class in the fall. It'll be awesome. But I admit: I'm looking forward to sleeping in for a few Saturdays.
My writing from the previous week was thus:
- I updated the goings-on with sComm and the UbiDuo with some further observations on audism among d/Deaf people, and some reflections on competition and the division between good deaf/bad deaf. (The first sComm post was from the previous Monday; another will follow tomorrow, because Jason Curry just. doesn't. get. it.)
- After The Guardian wrote about two shootings in north Idaho, I pieced together a few more episodes of guns, death, and police action in the state I currently call home. It was one of the hardest pieces I've written, partly because I just don't get it. I consulted a writer I respect, and he told me to just let each story tell itself. That helped; enough, at least, to get my thoughts into about 900 words this go-round.
- On Fit Friday, I signed off my epilogue of the Beachbody post. Time to move to other topics. For now.
This week I have another IEP meeting and a lot of grad writing to do. I hope I cry less than I did at the IEP meeting on Wednesday. I'm pretty sure that does not count as my professional teacher face.

From today's Daily Yomiuri Online:
When freelance photographer Mika Sudo travels around the world, she takes no ordinary companion. For the past 20 years, taiyaki, or fish-shaped Japanese pancakes filled with adzuki bean paste, have gone along for the ride.
The taiyaki are immortalized in her photos of Machu Picchu, the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Peru. Another photo shows a taiyaki placed precariously on an Indian man's turban.
An exhibition featuring about 80 such photos, taken in 34 countries, began Wednesday at the Senjushuku Rekishi Petit Terrace, a gallery remodeled from an old traditional warehouse in Adachi Ward, Tokyo.
Soon after she went freelance about 20 years ago, Sudo was shooting a beach in Chiba Prefecture. Attempting to eat a taiyaki during a break, she accidentally dropped it on the beach. Inexplicably, she then placed the pancake on a seawall and took its photo.
Seeing the photo later, Sudo felt as if the taiyaki, covered with sand, was looking at the ocean. "I thought: It's alive!" she said.
Unable to forget the elation she felt at that moment, Sudo managed to photograph taiyaki in between school-event and corporate photography work.
Another decisive moment led to Sudo taking the taiyaki overseas. In the summer of 1998, her younger sister Rie, with whom she lived, killed herself.
Sudo was so shocked and lonely that she wanted to kill herself, too. After a while, she decided to cancel all her work and go wandering around the world.
Yet she needed a companion, and immediately chose taiyaki, purchasing some of the sweets in vacuum-packs and putting them in her travel bag.
Shooting photos of the taiyaki on the streets of New York and France, Sudo felt reinvigorated. About two months later, she returned to Japan.
"When photographing the taiyaki, I could concentrate on myself. Because I had taiyaki with me, I wasn't lonely," she said. "It was just like having my little sister along."
Taiyaki have since become indispensable on her photography trips.
Sudo goes abroad three or more times a year "to escape reality," and photographs taiyaki just as ordinary travelers photograph their friends.
Due to language barriers, she often relies on body language to ask people to pose and let her photograph them with taiyaki. Some are suspicious and others amazed at being photographed with the unique-looking sweet.

Founded in 1931 by Shojiro Ishibashi, Bridgestone or "Stone Bridge" (direct translation from Japanese) was created in Japan. In the 1930's Japan slowly stated producing automobiles, and in 1932 Bridgestone became the first tire manufacturing company to offer tires nationally. By 1983 Bridgestone purchased a tire plant in La Vergne, Tennessee, from Firestone Tire & Rubber. In the twenty first century, Bridgestone became one of the "Big Three" tire companies in the United States. Bridgestone now sells tires to six continents throughout the world.
Bridgestone Tire stands by their "Passion for Excellence" with their vision; " Our passion for the very best in technology, quality, and service is at the heart of our commitment to you wherever you are in the world." Bridgestone's mission is to "inspire and move you."
The Potenza RE 960AS Pole Position is a premium sports car tire. This tire is a great example of Bridgestone quality with a fantastic racy looking appearance. This all-season performance tire has an Arc Shape Leading Edge that enhances the way the tire performs in snow and dry road conditions. The Potenza RE 960AS is a great tire for wet surfaces with a Hydro Evacuation System that reduces flow resistance of water along the groove walls. Duel-Layer Tread is incorporated in the design to increase wear for wet tire performance, by exposing High-Grip rubber as the tire wears.
A superior tire for passenger vehicles that can handle all-season weather surfaces is the HP550 with Uni-T. This Bridgestone tire features a unique tread design that gives performance looks with performance driving capabilities, at a reasonable price. The Uni-T component of the HP550 is a Silica enhanced tread compound that is molded into a sophisticated tread pattern, delivering all-season traction in wet, dry, and snow surfaces.

It was just past midnight when the plane landed. Mario and I had been waiting for over an hour, and finally we could see a line forming inside the Mexican immigration office. I watched as the recent arrivals, mostly young men, had their pictures taken and received a piece of paper. Official documentation in hand, the only door open to them was the entrance to Mexico. Or the exit from the U.S.A., depending on how you look at it.
We greeted the men as they trickled out, one by one, forming small huddles and shivering in the cold night air. Mario explained that he was a representative of the Casa de los Migrantes, a safe place where recent deportees are welcomed with warm meals and a place to sleep for up to three days.
"It's only a couple of blocks from here," Mario tells them. "If you would like to go, I'll walk over with a group of you in a few minutes."
They listened attentively, eyeing Mario and I with only the slghtest hint of suspicion. Mostly they just looked cold and somewhat disoriented.
I discovered the Hotel Migrante in a round-about sort of way, as is often the case. After watching a PBS documentary called Reportero about the dangers and challenges of independent journalism in Mexico, I checked out the online news site for Zeta, the newspaper featured in the film. The first article I read was about Hotel Migrante's third anniversary celebration, and its description caught my attention:
[…] in 36 months, it's given lodging to thousands of people – the majority of them Mexicans, but some from other places – on their way to the "country in the North", or in some cases during their stay at the border, after being deported. – Zeta (my translation)
I noticed the Hotel Migrante was in Mexicali, not far off my planned pathway through Baja California. I decided right away to make a stop there.
When I got to the hotel and asked if I could spend a day helping out and speaking with people, Benjamín (one of the organizers) was excited about the idea and encouraged me to stay the night. That way, he said, I could be there when the deportees get off the plane.
"They arrive at night?" I asked, surprised.
So there I was at the border when 118 freshly deported Mexicans (and Mexican-Americans, I should add) began to emerge from the immigration office in Mexicali. This happens once every two or three days.
One of the interesting things about these 118 deportees is that none of them had any shoe laces or belts, and very few had warm clothing. These are removed by the border patrol to make it difficult for them to escape or be comfortable. Luckily, some of their enterprising compatriots from Mexicali were there to save the day, and they knew the routine. There was a lady selling hot coffee and taquitos, and a man selling shoe laces, belts and hats.
Another thing I was surprised to find absent among the deportees was frustration. Despondence. Defeat. Most of these men had just failed a costly and dangerous attempt to cross the border into the U.S. illegally. Their families' livelihoods depended on the income they would earn on the other side of la línea. Many had walked for days in the desert, been caught and detained, and then flown from Texas to California in the middle of the night. All of this under more or less desperate circumstances that I and many others consider unjust and the result of an inhumane global order. I expected them to be upset.
And while, yes, there was frustration to be found in deeper conversations, and there was fear visible in the faces of a few, by and large the group could have been mistaken for workers getting of the bus at the end of a long day. Spanish, Mixtec, and even laughter floated up into the calm, moonless sky. They drank their coffee, made phone calls, asked about the area, and discussed plans for their next attempt. Some even joked about how they'd been caught.
Over the course of the 24 hours I spent at the Hotel Migrante, I heard a lot of stories. Hope and resilience were constant themes. So were heartbreak and adversity. That these seemingly antithetical things go hand and hand is no revelation, but I was constantly in awe of how optimistic and joyful these striving people were.
I plan to publish here a series of posts that describe some of the characters I met at the Hotel Migrante. They will be vignettes, not exhaustive or even superficial investigations of any professional rigor. My intention is that they serve to record how I experienced single moments in the storied lives of individuals brought together by complex factors, both global and personal.

Gravity was featured on MIX! Read the write-up below.
International Mix at Gravity Studios
Gravity Studios played host to an international mixing session for the touring British rock band, Anathema, during the band's two-day stop in Chicago before a performance at the House of Blues. This mix session gave Anathema the opportunity to simultaneously tour the States while working on their album. Anathema used Studio A at Gravity to monitor real-time audio sent from producer Christer Cederberg's studio in Norway; video conferencing to provide communication for mix adjustments between the band in Chicago, Cederberg in Norway, and a session guitarist in Liverpool; and screen-sharing for the band to view the Pro Tools session from Cederberg's studio as he made changes.
Cederberg set up a streaming Internet radio station that the band could access at Gravity. "We ran through our HD hardware in Studio A, which allowed the band to monitor their session through our ATC SCM25A and Yamaha NS-10 monitors," says Tim Yamaya, studio manager/producer/engineer. "The screen sharing was set up via Skype, and it allowed the connection of multiple screens and users to one video-conferencing session at once. This was the first time that we had done this at Gravity."
Meanwhile, in other studio news, the Silversun Pickups recorded new material, produced by Doug McBride; and Mike Penny recorded new tracks by OAR, mixed by McBride. The studio also hosted the Alabama Shakes while the band was in town.
