Title: Janice Daugharty Papers, 1980-
Predominant Dates:1990-
Primary Creator: Daugharty, Janice (1944-)
Extent: 48.0 Boxes
This collection currently contains 48 boxes of materials. They are divided in series that are only partially chronological.
Series 1: Biography and Criticism: these four boxes contain correspondence, photographs, newspaper clippings, Daugharty's VSC papers and coursework, essays on her writing by students, and stories and correspondence related to a short story anthology on "Rejections" (from publishers to famous writers) that she worked on in the early 1990's. The news clippings are organized first by related or reviewed publication, such as Dark of the Moon, and then there are general news articles that cover signings, interviews, and biographical sketches.
Series 2: The Short Stories (unpublished). These three boxes contain 75 short stories and/or short novellas that have never been published. Most would date from the 1980's and early 1990's, although Daugharty continues to write and publish short stories today. Although an attempt was made to determine chronological order within this series, most of the stories were undated and thus the series does not reflect the order of writing.
Series 3: Unpublished Novels: These 12 boxes contain versions of 12 full-length novels written prior to 1994. Here are Moon by Day, Two Shades of Morning, and Sling the Biscuit. Some of these have quite a few revisions included, which show a good deal of change and growth as a writer. Materials within each box were ordered chronologically based upon an analysis of edited changes through the different versions. This chronological order is an approximation only.
Series 4: Published novels and short story collections: Ten boxes contain the manuscripts, edits and final book copies of her previously published works. There is even a German edition of Necessary Lies. With the correspondence and news articles from series one, these notes, handwritten manuscripts, edited copies and final copies create a complete snapshot of the development of each book. Materials within each box were ordered chronologically based upon an analysis of edited changes through the different versions. This chronological order is an approximation only.
Series 5: Unpublished recent novels: Staten Bay is a departure from the works that previously defined a "Janice Daugharty" in that the novel is set much farther back in history and traces three generations of women from 1887-1999. The historical research necessary to write this 700+ page book is with the manuscripts. She interviewed "old timers," read and collected information on the time periods extensively, and those notes are in the collection.

Janice Daugharty was born in 1944 outside of Valdosta, and has lived almost all of her life in Echols county, Georgia. Prior to her writing career, she was a farm wife and at-home mother. It is from her rural background, from her observations of small town life, of parents and children, of blacks and whites, that her fiction springs. She began attending Valdosta State College at 38 (in 1982 or 1983) where she quickly began taking English classes. Her early literature papers show a thorough grounding in American and Southern Literature. Then followed ten years of "rejection slips" as she churned out over 19 novels and dozens of short stories. Her work caught the eye of Joyce Carol Oates, and some of her stories were published in the Ontario press. In 1994 she finally broke into print with Going Through the Change, a collection of short stories, and her first published novel, Dark of the Moon.
She followed with Necessary Lies, 1995, Paw Paw Patch in 1996, Earl in the Yellow Shirt in 1997, Whistle in 1998, Like a Sister in 1999. She has also published numerous short stories, newspaper articles, essays, and has been interviewed repeatedly in all forms of media. She is currently working on different versions of three novels, experimenting with a blend of fiction and history.

In 2010, Burma held its first elections in twenty years. These elections would have been meaningless if more than 2,100 political prisoners remained locked up in Burma's squalid prisons. Human Rights Watch created a campaign calling for the release of these innocent prisoners by utilizing added pressure from the public and the United Nations. Postcards were sent to people in the New York area to raise awareness of the event and the need for action. A giant installation (7' x 18') was built at New York's Grand Central Terminal. The installation featured a massive mock prison with 200 miniature cells and 2,000 pens in lieu of cell bars. Visitors could remove the pens to symbolically free the prisoners, and then use the pens to sign an onsite petition calling for their release. The experience was recreated online, allowing many more people to participate through an interactive digital banner. People could then sign and share their thoughts and experiences on the Human Rights Watch Facebook page. "In less than 12 hours, tens of thousands of signatures were collected from people of 86 countries. The installation attracted media from around the globe. The petition book was then sent to the United Nations' Secretary General and leaders of countries that maintain close ties with Burma. Due to its success, the installation toured Prague and Brussels. Human Rights Watch attracted over 80,000 people to their homepage. Most importantly, more than 150 political prisoners have since been released, including opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi."

Events involving the Wider Community
Rededication of Cheltenham Synagogue
Cheltenham Hebrew Congregation members and its many friends in the local community came together on to celebrate the Rededication of the Synagogue following extensive repair to its Grade II* listed building. The service was led by Rev. Malcolm Weisman.
Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire Dame Janet Trotter had sent loyal greetings to the Queen in advance of her 90th birthday on behalf of Cheltenham Hebrew Congregation and had received a reply expressing Her Majesty's warm good wishes to us all for the Rededication.
Dr Elizabeth Jacobs spoke of growing up as a Jewish girl in Cheltenham and commented on how an influx of Jewish servicemen and evacuees from London brought new life to the Jewish Community in the 1940's.
Rabbi Mark Daniels made a toast to the Community and the part it plays in the life of Cheltenham. This was particularly apt as also present were the Mayor of Cheltenham Councillor Duncan Smith and representatives of the University of Gloucestershire, Cheltenham Borough Conservation office, local churches and Gloucestershire Constabulary.
A lasting memory was the wonderful poem "A Leap of Faith" written by Helen Hail tracing how we arrived at the present time.
Holocaust Memorial Day Act of Remembrance
Through readings, poetry, film, art and music we explored the 2015 theme Keep the memory alive.
The Artwork, by Tobias Fisher, followed the artist's visit to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp just outside Berlin. It made him think of those murdered as individuals.Seeing the gallows he said:
"Single posts with an arm that angles out and up to the sky made for just one person. The studies I produced after that visit are difficult for me to think about. This study is about finding a concentration camp a 10 minute walk from a train station on the edge of a capital city. It's about this person walking out of the gates past you and you not seeing them. It's about walking past this image and not understanding".
Chilling facts were outlined, including those about Auschwitz-Birkenau, as we remembered the 70th Anniversary of its liberation. Over 90% of the victims were Jewish.
Organized in partnership with Gloucestershire Liberal Jewish Community and Cheltenham Borough Council.
Inter Faith Week - A Celebration of Caring
There was no English word for chesed when Myles Coverdale published the first ever translation of the Hebrew Bible in 1535, Abigail, our Associate Chaplain told participants at the Inter Faith event at Gloucestershire University and so he coined the word 'loving-kindness'. Abigail also spoke of its importance in Judaism, emphasising the event's theme of caring.

The London Klezmer Quartet
The London Klezmer Quartet, a wonderful group of performers, performed in our historic Cheltenham Synagogue to play the celebratory and soulful music of the East European Jews. Their deep understanding of Klezmer was reflected in exuberant, passionate and accomplished performances that captivated the audience.
"It was brilliant"
"What a successful evening, a beautiful event"
"A wonderful night with young musicians with extraordinary talent"
"Vibrant music interlaced with humour and dry wit"
"They played both traditional old arrangements and new material they have composed themselves"

Highnam Celebration at Highnam Court Gardens
We were delighted to invite guests to join us for a very special afternoon at the beautiful Highnam Court Gardens We explored the magnificent gardens and grounds, extending to over 100 acres and mixing formal gardens with more extensive vistas of meadows, woods, lakes, parkland and specimen trees.
Originally landscaped in the 18th century, the Gardens were thoughtfully developed and have now been lovingly restored and added to by their present owners.
Reverend Malcolm Weisman was honoured for his dedication and long service to Cheltenham Hebrew Congregation on this occasion of the 175 anniversary of the consecration of Cheltenham Synagogue in 1839. He was given a basket of wines and fruit together with a certificate of appreciation. First mention of Reverend Weisman as a visiting minister goes back to 1963 and he has continued in that role to the present day. Highlights have included leading a special service to re-consecrate the Synagogue in 1985 and then, four years later, presiding over the celebrations associated with the sesquiquintennial anniversary of the Synagogue.
The anniversary cake, decorated with an image of the Synagogue, was cut by Cheltenham MP Martin Horwood who had brought his family to join us for the celebration.
A poem, written especially for the occasion, "A Leap of Faith" was read moving by the Gloucestershire poet Helen Hail. The poem so fittingly starts; "It's time to celebrate the survival, the Synagogue, recall the struggles, always moving against the odds, remembering the impermanence. And that is what we did.
Our itinerary for the day included a guided tour, pot decoration and seed planting for children and a special opening of the Grade 1 listed Highnam Church. Homemade refreshments were enjoyed in the Orangery throughout the day.
Our flyer for the day can be downloaded here [433kb].
We are grateful to the owners of Highnam Court, Mr and Mrs Roger Head, for their kind permission to make use of the gardens.
Members' Events
The Jewish Festivals and Holidays are commemorated in appropriate ways - for example:
High Holy Days
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services were led this year by Thomas Ambuehl from Oxford. His musical skills were much appreciated during these Days of Awe.
Our Succah was decorated with figs, pomegranites, grapes and berries and a very English and fragrant addition - lavender. Simchat Torah was marked with a traditional service led by Allan Sanis, Chief Warden, with the Torahs being processed around the Synagogue. Alan Silverston was chasan Torah and Allan Sanis chasan Bereishis.
The survival of the Jewish people, over 2,000 years ago, from persecution, is celebrated each year, usually with a tea party. The children light the candles of the menorahs together.
We read the Megilla Esther together, in Hebrew and English; the story of how Esther saved the Jewish people in the 4th Century BCE, and celebrate our freedom from persecution. Hamantashen, traditional three cornered pastries representing the villain Haman's ears, typically feature.
A traditional Seder (Passover service) is shared by the Community, usually on the second night of Passover. The story of the Exodus is told and how the Jewish people were able to leave slavery.
Social Events
Members also enjoy meeting for purely social events. These include garden parties, brunches, lunches and teas. A Pudding Evening drew Members and friends together to enjoy a wide selection of desserts. No competition, they were all winners!
We were delighted to have Rev Malcolm and Mrs Weisman with us for the occasion.
Other events include lectures, discussions and films.
Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks Visits Cheltenham
Lord Sacks, Chief Rabbi of Great Britain and the Commonwealth held us spellbound when he addressed the Community and guests in the Synagogue in spring 2011. He spoke powerfully and enthusiastically about small communities and how they can and do play a role disproportionate to their size. This was illustrated with biblical as well as modern examples.
A report in the Jewish Chronicle quoted Lord Sacks as saying. It was wonderful to discover this gem of a Synagogue. It is a miniature treasure to be cherished and it was wonderful to see how the small but enthusiastic congregation are keeping it, and Jewish life, alive in this lovely part of Britain. I came away surprised, inspired and enthused. And so did we.

The Cheltenham Hebrew Community is actively involved with local Inter Faith Activity and has participated in a number of recent events.

Women's Association of Cheltenham Synagogue (WACS)
The Women's Association has been running for over 50 years. It is a warm social network that plays an important part in organising many of the Synagogue's events and has raised funds for a range of good causes. The monthly meetings provide a good place for making and renewing friendships.
Jewish Film Group
We show a range of films, generally with a Jewish theme. Naturally all members and their guests are welcome to attend and make suggestions for future screenings.

It definitely helped to fess up. Even as I wrote yesterday about craving fritters, they became less appealing. Chocolate? Well, no... I think rich, dark chocolate will always look good to me.
What helped even more was realizing that there are things I cannot change (like the oil in the Gulf and financial shakiness in the world) and things I CAN change, like the mess of papers around my computer. That insight allowed me to focus my energy on the things I can do, shifting it away from wanting to sugar binge.
OK, now the report. I commited to the following:
- For each of the next 5 days, I will clean up/organize at least one area, starting this evening with the clutter right around my computer. I will report my progress each day.
- For each of the next 5 days, I will spend at least one hour working on an art project. I will report my progress each day.
- For each of the next 5 days, I will go wherever I need to go to be alone with no radio or TV sounds for at least one hour. I will report my progress each day.
#2... Yes! Today I worked on an art project for 3 hours! I feel great about it!
#3... I didn't quite get an hour of quiet... more like a half hour. It was the last half hour that I was working on my art project, so it was a two-for-one blessing. Even a half hour makes me feel rejuvenated. I shall try for a whole hour tomorrow.

As part of our first group project we were asked to design one digital and one analogue tool for the garage. The first was a drill which we chose because we noticed a trend of either way too full on drills that intimidated the average person or crappy $50 drills that died after one job. The aim of the brief was to learn about how people react with objects on an anthropometric and a psychological level. The second tool was a tablet that had the main intention of informing people how to construct things like Pinterest and Instructables do, through a process of immersive testing we found that multi-functional legs would allow the user to hook, clip or hang the tablet anywhere.

A BUSINESSMAN has lost almost a THIRD of his body weight — after ditching crisps, pies and fry-ups.
Marco Alessi ballooned up to 21 stones last Christmas after routinely guzzling down pasties, pizzas, chocolate and takeaways.
The 49-year-old, who works in Helmshore, admitted: "Food was everything to me."
But he now says he has become an 'obsessive health freak', eating grilled chicken, salad, vegetables and fruit and running 24 miles every week.
He now weighs 15 stones and is hoping to lose another two-and-a-half stones.
He used to have a 46-inch waist but is now a 36 — while his shirt size has dropped from XXXXL to large.
Mr Alessi, who has worked as a business support officer in Helmshore for 26 years, added: "I wasn't very well at Christmas. I'd had Type 2 diabetes for a few years and I'd been burying my head in the sand.
"I couldn't walk properly, I was always out of breath and I was overeating all the wrong things."
The dad-of-two has now committed to doing the Great North Run in Newcastle in September and has already completed three 10km races in preparation.
He added: "I thought I'd try to get fit and start running and it has gradually got better.
"I have been strong mentally and have done it through willpower more than anything. I have been strict with myself."
Mr Alessi has lost so much weight that people even ask him if he is ill.
He added: "I have changed completely. People are shocked when they see me for the first time in a while.
"I have had to give all my clothes away apart from my shoes and buy a new wardrobe."
He paid tribute to his wife, family and friends, who provide encouragement.
His ultimate target, although he will continue running afterwards, is to complete the Manchester marathon in April.
He said: "I'm a health freak now — and quite obsessive."
Mr Alessi is doing the Great North Run in aid of Rossendale Hospice and has already raised £1,300.
A spokesman for Rossendale Hospice said: "Charity challenges can help you achieve your goals. Marco Alessi is an inspiration."
Cooked breakfast, two bags of crisps mid-morning, pie, sandwich and another bag of crisps for lunch, chocolate and two cans of Diet Coke in the afternoon, a pasty on the way home, tea and then toast for supper.
Banana for breakfast, chicken salad for lunch and grilled chicken and roasted veg for tea, with fruit and veg as snacks.

It's 2015, and this year optical labs want you to get the memo to ditch
phone and fax ordering, and start submitting your product orders online. Don't worry, it's not just a good thing for the labs - there are benefits of online ordering for your practice too! In a survey conducted last year the top three reasons that eyecare providers order their products online were because of time savings, ease of use, and reduced errors in their orders.
To make your life even easier online, instead of hopping around from one lab's website to the next to place all of your orders you can use an online ordering tool that connects you with all of your labs in one easy location. That way your staff only has to learn how to use one system, and you'll save time having access to all your orders in one spot!
Why You Should Skip Phone Calls with Your Optical Labs
Phone Orders = More Mistakes
61% of eyecare providers agree that an order placed over the phone is more likely to have errors than an order placed online!
If you're submitting orders to your labs over the phone or fax machine you're increasing the chance for errors on your orders. How so? You're transferring information from person to person where it's a lot more likely to produce an error with the transcribing of information across mediums. It's likely that when you call a lab they will then enter your order information into their system manually, which is where the errors are likely to happen. Even worse, if you fax an order over they have to try and decipher handwriting, which could also lead to errors.
Wasted Time
Eyecare providers agree that it takes twice the amount of time to place an order over the phone than it does to place an order online.
As we said before, if you're phoning or faxing in orders it means that someone on the other end is taking those calls and entering the orders into the lab's system. These phone calls are taking up time for both you, and the lab. And it doesn't stop there. If you have a question on order status you're also going to have to get on another call with the lab. But, if you're ordering online you're able to check the status of your orders with a few mouse clicks!
Greater Efficiency
The same way that your practice uses a practice management system, most labs run off a lab management system. The lab's investment in these systems makes them want to get the most out of it. Orders that are placed online are submitted directly into the lab management system and by-pass any orders that are called in and have to be manually entered. So ordering online does your lab, and you, a favor!
Increased Accuracy
63% of eyecare providers say that online ordering reduces the amount of re-dos on orders.
The next best thing about orders placed online is that you're only able to place orders that each specific lab can create. Each lab manages their own catalog of products on VisionWeb, so you won't be allowed to select options for orders that the lab can't create. The tool is also hooked up with error checking features so that if you accidentally type in an illogical order, you won't be able to submit it.
If your practice is using a practice management system that integrates with the ordering tool, you can upload orders directly through the system without re-keying information. Just another way you can free up more staff time to spend with patients!
Did we mention that our ordering service is free for eyecare practices? The labs love it so much they foot the bill! Get started today!

The internet and the World Wide Web are wild frontiers that rely on computer languages and codes to find and share data and information. One of the most fundamental instruments of the internet is the Domain Name System, or DNS. (Although many people think "DNS" stands for "Domain Name Server," it really stands for "Domain Name System.") DNS is a protocol within the set of standards for how computers exchange data on the internet and on many private networks, known as the TCP/IP protocol suite. Its purpose is vital, as it helps convert easy-to-understand domain names like "howstuffworks.com" into an Internet Protocol (IP) address, such as 126.96.36.199 that computers use to identify each other on the network. It is, in short, a system of matching names with numbers.
The DNS concept is like a phone book for the internet. Without this kind of wayfinding system, you'd have to resort to much more complicated and esoteric means to sift through the virtual open plains and dense cities of data strewn across the global internet ... and you can bet that it wouldn't be nearly as much fun, especially since there are now hundreds of millions of domain names [source: VeriSign].
Computers and other network devices on the internet use an IP address to route your request to the site you're trying to reach. This is similar to dialing a phone number to connect to the person you're trying to call. Thanks to DNS, though, you don't have to keep your own address book of IP addresses. Instead, you just connect through a domain name server, also called a DNS server or name server, which manages a massive database that maps domain names to IP addresses.
Whether you're accessing a website or sending e-mail, your computer uses a DNS server to look up the domain name you're trying to access. The proper term for this process is DNS name resolution, and you would say that the DNS server resolves the domain name to the IP address. For example, when you enter "www.howstuffworks.com" in your browser, part of the network connection includes resolving the domain name "howstuffworks.com" into an IP address, for example 18.104.22.168, for HowStuffWorks' web servers.
But, you're probably more likely to remember "howstuffworks.com" when you want to return later. In addition, a website's IP address can change over time, and some sites associate multiple IP addresses with a single domain name.
Without DNS servers, the internet would shut down very quickly. But how does your computer know what DNS server to use? Typically, when you connect to your home network, internet service provider (ISP) or WiFi network, the modem or router that assigns your computer's network address also sends some important network configuration information to your computer or mobile device. That configuration includes one or more DNS servers that the device should use when translating DNS names to IP address.
So far, you've read about some important DNS basics. The rest of this article dives deeper into domain name servers and name resolution. It even includes an introduction to managing your own DNS server. Let's start by looking at how IP addresses are structured and how that's important to the name resolution process.
DNS Servers and IP Addresses
You just learned that the primary job of a domain name server, or DNS server, is to resolve (translate) a domain name into an IP address. That sounds like a simple task, and it would be, except for the following points:
- There are billions of IP addresses currently in use, and most machines have a human-readable name as well.
- DNS servers (cumulatively) are processing billions of requests across the internet at any given time.
- Millions of people are adding and changing domain names and IP addresses each day.
With so much to handle, DNS servers rely on network efficiency and internet protocols. Part of the IP's effectiveness is that each machine on a network has a unique IP address in both the IPV4 and IPV6 standards managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Here are some ways to recognize an IP address:
- An IP address in the IPV4 standard has four numbers separated by three decimals, as in: 18.104.22.168
- An IP address in the IPV6 standard has eight hexadecimal numbers (base-16) separated by colons, as in 2001:0cb8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. Because IPV6 is still a very new standard, we'll concentrate on the more common IPV4 for this article.
- Each number in an IPV4 number is called an "octet" because it's a base-10 equivalent of an 8-digit base-2 (binary) number used in routing network traffic. For example, the octet written as 42 stands for 00101010. Each digit in the binary number is the placeholder for a certain power of two from 2 to 27, reading from right to left. That means that in 00101010, you have one each of 21, 23 and 25. So, to get the base-10 equivalent, just add 21 + 23 + 25 = 2 + 8 + 32 = 42.
- There are only 256 possibilities for the value of each octect: the numbers 0 through 255.
- Certain addresses and ranges are designated by the IANA as reserved IP addresses, which means they have a specific job in IP. For example, the IP address 127.0.0.1 is reserved to identify the computer you're currently using. So, talking to 127.0.0.1 is just talking to yourself [sources: Cisco, Lammele].
Where does your computer's IP address come from? If we're talking about your desktop or laptop computer, it probably comes from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on your network. The job of a DHCP server is to make sure your computer has the IP address and other network configuration it needs whenever you're online. Because this is "dynamic," the IP address for your computer will probably change from time to time, such as when you shut down your computer for a few days. As the user, you'll probably never notice all this taking place. See the sidebar on this page for hints on where to find the IP address assigned to your computer or mobile device.
Web servers and other computers that need a consistent point of contact use static IP addresses. This means that the same IP address is always assigned to that system's network interface when it's online. To make sure that interface always gets the same IP address, IP associates the address with the Media Access Control (MAC) address for that network interface. Every network interface, both wired and wireless, has a unique MAC address embedded in it by the manufacturer.
Now, let's look at the other side of the DNS equation: domain names.
Domain Names
If we had to remember the IP addresses of all our favorite websites, we'd probably go nuts! Human beings are just not that good at remembering strings of numbers. We are good at remembering words, however, and that is where domain names come in. You probably have hundreds of domain names stored in your head, such as:
- howstuffworks.com — our favorite domain name
- google.com — one of the most used domain names in the world
- mit.edu — a popular EDU name
- bbc.co.uk — a three-part domain name using the country code UK
You'll recognize domain names as having strings of characters separated by dots (periods). The last word in a domain name represents a top-level domain. These top-level domains are controlled by the IANA in what's called the Root Zone Database, which we'll examine more closely later. There are more than 1,000 top-level domains, and here are some of the most common:
- COM — commercial websites, though open to everyone
- NET — network websites, though open to everyone
- ORG — non-profit organization websites, though open to everyone
- EDU — restricted to schools and educational organizations
- MIL — restricted to the U.S. military
- GOV — restricted to the U.S. government
- US, UK, RU and other two-letter country codes — each is assigned to a domain name authority in the respective country
In a domain name, each word and dot combination you add before a top-level domain indicates a level in the domain structure. Each level refers to a server or a group of servers that manage that domain level. For example, "howstuffworks" in our domain name is a second-level domain off the COM top-level domain. An organization may have a hierarchy of sub-domains further organizing its internet presence, like "bbc.co.uk" which is the BBC's domain under CO, an additional level created by the domain name authority responsible for the U.K. country code.
The left-most word in the domain name, such as www or mail, is a host name. It specifies the name of a specific machine (with a specific IP address) in a domain, typically dedicated to a specific purpose. A given domain can potentially contain millions of host names as long as they're all unique to that domain. (The "http" part stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol and is the protocol by which information is sent by the user to the website she is visiting. Nowadays, you're more likely to see "https" which is a sign the information is being sent by secure protocol where the information is encrypted. This is especially important if you're providing a credit card number to a website [source: EasyNews].)
Because all of the names in a given domain need to be unique, there has to be some way to control the list and makes sure no duplicates arise. That's where registrars come in. A registrar is an authority that can assign domain names directly under one or more top-level domains and register them with InterNIC, a service of ICANN, which enforces uniqueness of domain names across the internet. Each domain registration becomes part of a central domain registration database known as the whois database. Network Solutions, Inc. (NSI) was one of the first registrars, and today companies like GoDaddy.com offer domain registration in addition to many other website and domain management services. [source: InterNIC]
Later, when we look at how to create a domain name, we'll see that part of registering a domain requires identifying one or more name servers (DNS servers) that have the authority to resolve the host names and sub-domains in that domain. Typically, you would do this through a hosting service, which has its own DNS servers. Next, we'll look at how these DNS servers manage your domain, and how DNS servers across the internet work together to ensure traffic is routed properly between IP addresses.
The Distributed System
Every domain has a domain name server handling its requests, and there is a person or IT team maintaining the records in that DNS server's database. No other database on the planet gets as many requests as DNS servers, and they handle all those queries while also processing data updates from millions of people every day. That's one of the most amazing parts of DNS — it is completely distributed throughout the world on millions of machines, managed by millions of people, and yet it behaves like a single, integrated database!
Because managing DNS seems like such a big job, most people tend to leave it to the IT professionals. However, by learning a little bit about how DNS works and how DNS servers are distributed across the internet, you can manage DNS with confidence. The first thing to know is what the purpose of a DNS server is on the network where it resides. A DNS server will have one of the following as its primary task:
- Maintain a small database of domain names and IP addresses most often used on its own network, and delegate name resolution for all other names to other DNS servers on the internet.
- Pair IP addresses with all hosts and sub-domains for which that DNS server has authority.
DNS servers that perform the first task are normally managed by your internet service provider (ISP). As mentioned earlier, the ISP's DNS server is part of the network configuration you get from DHCP as soon as you go online. These servers reside in your ISP's data centers, and they handle requests as follows:
- If it has the domain name and IP address in its database, it resolves the name itself.
- If it doesn't have the domain name and IP address in its database, it contacts another DNS server on the internet. It may have to do this multiple times.
- If it has to contact another DNS server, it caches the lookup results for a limited time so it can quickly resolve subsequent requests to the same domain name.
- If it has no luck finding the domain name after a reasonable search, it returns an error indicating that the name is invalid or doesn't exist.
The second category of DNS servers mentioned above is typically associated with web, mail and other internet domain hosting services. Though some hardcore IT gurus set up and manage their own DNS servers, hosting services have made DNS management much easier for the less technical audience. A DNS server that manages a specific domain is called the start of authority (SOA) for that domain. Over time, the results from looking up hosts at the SOA will propagate to other DNS servers, which in turn propagate to other DNS servers, and so on across the internet.
This propagation is a result of each DNS server caching the lookup result for a limited time, known as its Time To Live (TTL), ranging from a few minutes to a few days. People managing a DNS server can configure its TTL, so TTL values will vary across the Internet. So, each time you look up "www.howstuffworks.com," it's possible that the DNS server for your ISP will find the lookup results "220.127.116.11" in its own cache if you or someone else using that server looked for it before within the server's TTL.
This great web of DNS servers includes the root name servers, which start at the top of the domain hierarchy for a given top-level domain. There are hundreds of root name servers to choose from for each top-level domain. Though DNS lookups don't have to start at a root name server, they can contact a root name server as a last resort to help track down the SOA for a domain.
Now that you know how DNS servers are interconnected to improve the name resolution process, let's look at how you can configure a DNS server to be the authority for your domain.
Creating a New Domain Name
When you want to create a new domain name, you need to do the following:
- Use the Whois database to find a unique domain name that isn't yet registered. There are several sites that offer free Whois database searches, such as Network Solutions. If the search comes up empty, you know the domain name is available.
- Register the domain name with a registrar. There are a lot of registrars to choose from, and some offer special prices for registering the COM, NET, and ORG versions of a domain at the same time, for registering for two or more years, or for hosting the domain with the same company.
- If you're hosting the domain at a different company than your registrar, configure the registrar to point your domain name to the correct host name or IP address for your hosting company (see information below about A records) [source: Wilson and Randall].
Using the DNS servers from your registrar or hosting company means that you have a parked domain. This means that someone else owns the computer hardware for the DNS servers, and your domain is just part of that company's larger DNS configuration. Alternatively, if you're passionate about hosting your own DNS, you can set up your own server, either as a physical or virtual machine. Whichever DNS setup you decide on, that DNS server (or group of servers) becomes the SOA for your domain, as described earlier [source: BlueHost].
Whether your SOA is somewhere else or on your own system, you can extend and modify your DNS settings to add sub-domains, redirect e-mail and control other services. This information is kept in a zone file on the DNS server. If you're running your own server, you'll probably need to manually edit the zone file in a text editor. Many registrars today have a web interface you can use to manage DNS for your domain. Each new configuration you add is called a record, and the following are the most common types of records you can configure for your DNS server [source: GoDaddy.com].
- Host (A) — This is the basic mapping of IP address to host name, the essential component for any domain name.
- Canonical Name (CNAME) — This is an alias for your domain. Anyone accessing that alias will be automatically directed to the server indicated in the A record.
- Mail Exchanger (MX) — This maps e-mail traffic to a specific server. It could indicate another host name or an IP address. For example, people who use Google for the e-mail for their domain will create an MX record that points to ghs.google.com.
- Name Server (NS) — This contains the name server information for the zone. If you configure this, your server will let other DNS servers know that yours is the ultimate authority (SOA) for your domain when caching lookup information on your domain from other DNS servers around the world.
- Start of Authority (SOA) — This is one larger record at the beginning of every zone file with the primary name server for the zone and some other information. If your registrar or hosting company is running your DNS server, you won't need to manage this. If you're managing your own DNS, you can peek at tips for doing so using this article on the structure of a DNS SOA Record.
The following is an example of what a zone file might look like for those who are editing it directly in a text editor. Note that the center column (second item on each line) includes a record type from those listed above. When you see an "@" in the left column, it means that the record applies in all cases not otherwise specified:
@ NS auth-ns1.howstuffworks.com
@ NS auth-ns2.howstuffworks.com
@ MX 10 mail
mail A 188.8.131.52
vip1 A 22.214.171.124
www CNAME vip1
Typical users will probably get the most use out of MX and CNAME records. The MX records allows you to point your mail services somewhere other than your hosting company if you choose to use something like Google Apps for your domain. The CNAME records let you point host names for your domain to various other locations. This could include setting google.example.com to redirect to google.com, or setting up a dedicated game server with its own IP address and pointing it to something like gameserver.example.com.
DNS is Constantly Evolving
Now you know more about domain name servers, how DNS maps domain names to IP addresses, and how to choose your domain name and configure it to work within the distributed system of DNS servers around the world. Furthermore, you're in the zone with zone files and registered for success with domain name servers.
You should understand that DNS is not a static concept. In late 2018, ICANN finally rolled out new security features for DNS. In short, those changes affected the cryptographic keys used in the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) protocol, known by techies as the root zone key signing key (KSK). The security improvements were necessary, says ICANN, because of the way networks are rapidly changing and expanding, in part due to the Internet of Things, which brings millions of new interconnected devices into the internet's fold [source: Cooney].
Those safety measures are incredibly important because criminal-minded hackers often try to tap into the DNS system to steal personal information or simply wreak havoc, for example, in attacks like DNS hijacking. That means defense-minded computer users and IT professionals alike must stay up to date on preventative measures to prevent DNS poisoning attacks and denial-of-service attacks, among others [sources: Greenberg, SecurityTrails].
But there's an even bigger picture at stake with the status of DNS. It's often possible for tech gurus and powerful companies (or oppressive political regimes) to track traffic DNS traffic. In the wrong hands, that kind of data could be used for all sorts of nefarious ventures without any sort of regulatory oversight. In 2018, the internet Engineering Task Force accepted a new DNS-over-HTTPS as a standard – essentially an encryption concept meant to offer better privacy for everyone who uses the internet, no matter their purposes, making it much more difficult for manipulative or evil-minded digital empires to follow you around online [sources: Chirgwin, Morgenroth].
Like all things Internet, though, the new DNS-over-HTTPS paradigm is anything but a settled matter and subject to all sorts of potential adjustments and alterations. In other words, like the internet itself, the phone book that is DNS will keep evolving at an ever-faster pace – and it's increasingly important to maintain and protect these resources to keep our networks working like they should.

Activists to boycott Novartis drugs, plan nationwide campaign2 min read . Updated: 05 Dec 2007, 11:35 PM IST
Activists to boycott Novartis drugs, plan nationwide campaign
Activists to boycott Novartis drugs, plan nationwide campaign
A collection of public health groups is beginning a campaign to dissuade Indian doctors from prescribing drugs sold by a local unit of Novartis AG until the Swiss drug maker withdraws its appeal against a patent rejection on its blockbuster cancer drug Glivec.
In a nationwide campaign, which is seen as the first such targeted attack on a single drug maker, the groups want to mount pressure on the multinational corporation to retreat rather than keep "doggedly pursing their patent".
The groups say the patent will increase treatment costs and stifle competition from cheaper substitutes made by Indian drug companies.
A patent application for Glivec was rejected by the Chennai Patent Office in January 2006—a decision that Novartis appealed against and is fighting at a patent appellate body after months of hearing at the Madras high court.
The groups will target all Novartis drugs in India, sales of which were at Rs592 crore in fiscal 2007. "We have already circulated the resolution in the states and more than 10,000 public health workers from various organizations at the ground level are going to be involved," said Amit Sengupta, secretary of Jan Swasthya Abhiyan. Five groups are part of the campaign.
"We have spoken to four state bodies of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and all of them have passed a resolution to boycott Novartis' products. Appeals have been sent to 250 other local affiliates of IMA in Karnataka," said Gopal Dabade, president of Drug Action Forum—Karnataka, a group that first started its lobbying against Novartis a few months ago. IMA is India's apex body of doctors.
Novartis India Ltd defended its right to appeal against the patent rejection saying it recognizes the need of affordable medication and provides Glivec to 8,000 patients in India free already. But "our concern is with the non-recognition of intellectual property rights that ultimately help sustain and advance pharmaceutical R&D," the company said in an email.
Doctors, meanwhile, are cautious in their response to the massive canvassing by the activists. "I'll like to see the resolution, their arguments for the boycott and deliberate on it," said IMA's secretary general S.N. Mishra, who agreed that drugs should be cheaper but added any IMA resolutions would be "advisory" in nature and not binding. IMA has a membership of some 175,000 doctors.
Delhi-based diabetologist Anoop Mishra said: "Though such actions may be required, it will be a daunting and challenging task to unify doctors to fight for this particular issue."

HomeShop18 is the pioneer in TELEVISION procuring in India because it modified the way India shop by launching the first 24 hour Home Procuring TV channel. The sensible transfer is definitely to have the ability to provide the identical items now however beneath totally different website names and specifically designed online shopping experiences for area of interest markets. Products reminiscent of spare parts, each for shopper gadgets like washing machines and for industrial tools like centrifugal pumps, also appear good candidates for selling on-line. Aside from cutting out the time it takes to exit grocery purchasing, online grocery buying makes one more organized. Internet buyers can not check the product they are buying until it reaches their properties. At Walmart they have a website to store desk, no delivery charges, you decide it up there.
Paying with a bank card also can give you an additional degree of safety, together with the appropriate to a 'cost back' should you fall victim to fraud. Majority of those shopping for apps – about 39 per cent – are doing so not because of its advanced features, but to avoid promoting," says Kobeissi. However that could be a two-thirds increase since 2012, and the region is now thought to be certainly one of quickest-growing on-line markets on the planet — up 30 per cent yr on 12 months, compared with a worldwide average of 17 per cent. Without even picking up the cellphone to name completely different shops to check prices, you'll be able to merely go online to the internet and inside a few minutes have a detailed comparison between dozens of different shops. Sometimes, there is no such thing as a gross sales tax for online purchases and some online retailers do not charge for delivery.
Statistics present that progress and confidence in on-line procuring is rising rapidly, which is thought to be synonymous with the fact that many shoppers have never been hit by an assault, simply because they have been fortunate and never as a result of they've been extra conscious of the threats of using on-line shops.
As client confidence within the safety of on-line procuring rides excessive, experts warn that users and online retailers should be alert to threats as criminals change into extra clever and their strategies more refined. One other major benefit for retailers is the power to quickly change suppliers and distributors with out disrupting customers' buying experience.
The service connects its web shoppers to merchants and sellers of all sizes and scope, from giant conventional merchants, akin to Finest Purchase, Workplace Depot and Wal-Mart to smaller native retailers and people. On-line the items are new in box, so to speak and nobody has tried it on and it has not been on the ground.

No barre to ambition: how HK ballet dancer Lam Chun-wing found his way to Paris
By Young Wang
Lam Chun-wing was a typical Hong Kong boy, but his life took an unusual turn after he finished Form Three at STFA Lee Shau Kee College and got on a plane to Paris on his own.
Fast forward to 2015, and he's now the first Chinese dancer at the world-renowned Paris Opera Ballet in France.
He was dragged to his first ballet class aged seven. At age 11, he decided he wanted to become a professional dancer. At 14, he got a place at the Paris Opera Ballet School and in August this year - a month before his 19th birthday - he had secured a long-term contract at the Paris Opera Ballet, and is currently dancing in his favourite ballet production, Rudolf Nureyev's La Bayadère.
But he wasn't always so enthusiastic.
When his mother took him to Jean M. Wong School of Ballet 12 years ago, Lam refused to go into the dancing room as there were no boys.
"I wondered why my mother took me to such a girly extra-curricular activity," he told Young Post.
It took his mother and the school secretary 30 minutes to persuade him to have a go.
He enjoyed moving his body to the piano music, but that was it. "I won't say that it was real ballet dancing … my passion came gradually when I moved on to learning new ballet steps and watching different ballet classics," he recalls.
Within just a few years, he had decided to do ballet for the rest of his life, even though it "wasn't very clear what a dancer's life was like". As a professional now, he knows it's a 24/7 commitment with a strict lifestyle to follow.
Lam explains that good nutrition and relaxation are essential, as well as taking good care of his body with massages, cross-training, and strengthening exercises.
Other people might be able to take long periods of time away from their studies or work, but not dancers. "When we rest for more than three days - I mean completely, with no dancing, no Pilates, no strength-training, no cardio - it's extremely hard to start dancing again," says Lam. "This kind of life may seem exhausting, but when you are passionate about it, it's actually very enjoyable!"
Lam's training in Hong Kong wasn't enough to satisfy his hunger to learn. Male and female ballet techniques are very different so, as the only boy in his class, Lam found himself craving the opportunity to push himself further.
At 13, he was already desperate to go overseas for professional training.
His chance came when he was 14. Paris Opera Ballet School opened its doors to him after a private audition, and Lam had no second thoughts about moving to France.
It wasn't easy to give up full time studies to pursue his passion. But academic pressures would have eaten into his training. "I went for it, I just wanted to dance more," Lam says.
He didn't give up on schoolwork though, and used to study in the morning before dancing in the afternoon. Even now, as a professional dancer, he's studying to take exams next year.
The first days in Paris were tough, but he kept a brave face. "I will always remember my first day at the school," says Lam. "I couldn't understand bonjour [hello] and au revoir [goodbye] so I didn't know what was going on. I just kept reminding myself why I was in Paris, and just faced every difficulty with courage.
"Moving to Paris not only allowed me to receive full-time training, but also made me a much stronger person."
Things got better once he learned the language and started to make friends.
The school ranks students at the end of every year and those who are not good enough leave. Such competition helped motivate Lam.
"I was at one of the best ballet schools in the world," he says, adding "all I wanted to do was to continue learning."
After more than 10 years as a dancer, Lam still loves his job. "I love how emotions and feelings that cannot be described with words can be expressed through ballet," Lam says.
Since he made history by becoming the Paris Opera Ballet's first Chinese dancer, Lam has been under the spotlight.
He is excited that his experiences may inspire others, and bring people joy. "If my story is inspiring," he says.
"Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing to motivate other people and bring positive changes to this world by sharing it?"

Uruz is the male counterpart to Fehu, the mighty bull. Specifically it relates to the Auroch, a primordial bull that was huge and forceful. This rune is masculine to Fehu's feminine quality. It represents health, strength, and force. With great strength and force comes great responsibility, however. Too much Uruz is as uncontrollable as a raging bull. There is no stopping the energy once it starts, it must wind down on its own.
Recently, during a ceremony held to build power for Standing Rock, I had a journey where I became the Bison. During this journey I was one of large herd and I could feel the strength in my legs, the breath moving in an out of my lungs, and the cold air through my hair. During this run, we circled the protesters by running around the camp building a cone of power to protect, heal, and energize the camp. We were an impenetrable wall. A few days after this ceremony, the DAPL project was put on hold for an indeterminate amount of time.
Uruz is my healing container, creating space for healing and sending the power I needed to heal.
In doing some research on Bison, I learned that they form their herd by placing the youth in the center, the elders outside of them, the mothers outside of them and finally the strong males on the outside with their horns out ready to protect the rest. This resonated with my vision in that the male bison were outside, protecting those that are not as strong.

PF - Paradisis - GNMO
Posted by Chic Aeon in new releases, poses on Wednesday, March 30, 2011
I am amending this post with a new lead photo :D. As I was changing this afternoon, I noted that I had missed a MAJOR part of the outfit -- the prim bandeau piece. It works well and looks great, so I took a quick trip back to Barbee to fix my omission. So THIS is the "fashion shot" as it should be. Still low arc and happily in the green, but of course meant for more fun activities that shopping -- well maybe.
This is one super looking clubbing outfit! And the top will work VERY nicely with the new satin pants just out. Dual duty. Works for me!
One of the last things Acha said to us at our photo shoot last weekend was, "get naked more often". Now she may have meant the comment in a more active way *wink*, but I am going to honor her request -- just a bit -- with this not really naked but definitely skimpy new release from Paradisis. Honestly I had to smile as I unpacked boxes of lovingly made attire; bright satiny ORANGE pants (very low) were among the bounty. So when orange comes around on that 52 week wheel, I will be set now. Yeah!.
I chose this outfit to show you first, partly because it was skimpy, but also because it is very low ARC (Avatar Rendering Cost). The Pose Fair opens soon with what seems like many more vendors. With all those pose stands in use, you can pretty much guarantee it will be laggy. So this is a fashionably attired public service announcement. Deprim; Descript -- and feel free to ALMOST go naked.
My attire here isn't the lowest I can go of course. I could toss off the bandanna and remove my oversized (but script free) earrings. Still, you get the idea.
There are many, many wonderful pose makers at the fair. Some of my favorites are there, some are not. As I was looking through poses last eve for my "banana mania" weekend color post, I was reminded how very important poses are to our world. I had a gorgeous new photo prop locale, a pretty new dress, great new hair. What I needed to make the photo shoot complete --- were the poses. After looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of sixty, I found the ones that fit my mood. They made all the difference.
So in the spirit of celebrating ALL the pose makers, new, old, and departed, I chose some of my all time favorite poses and made a collage. I tried to choose "signature" poses, ones as bloggers and photographers you may have in your inventory. See if you can guess which pose goes with which pose maker.
Your choices are: LAP, BehaviorBody, Posemaster, Glitterati, Vain, Diesel Works. Answers below the photo -- no cheating! Click the photo for a larger view if you like.
And the answers are ---
Diesel Works, Glitterati, Vain, Behavior Body, LAP, Posemaster.
The top photos are taken with my Amacci Posh AO.
Hair: Amacci hair base - hazelnut
Skin: [:T:] Zoe / sunkissed :: 06 Brass
Clothing: PARADISIS Fever black (new release)
Accessories: *Ticky Tacky* Lick Me! Earrings - Black: ARC reducing bandana flex (NLA)

The Cash Cow Hot Dog Cart – A brilliant starting point for any vendor. Plenty of options to go as big as you want. Just the standard Cash Cow will out work even the best vendor. [watch a vendor in action on the Cash Cow here]
See The World's Most Popular Cart – Used By Vendors In All 50 States and 113 Countries. Used by NASA and The US Navy. The Big Dog Hot Dog Cart.
Originally built with no frills for those states that don't require all the extras, the Cash Cow has become hugely popular. It's big and has room to grow, with many available options and upgrades you can stay within budget and be up and running in no time. It's built like a tank and is bigger than any cart on the market for the money. It is a Cash Cow hot dog cart. Read below included features. Sinks/Water System Not Included.
Now you can choose the electric cart option during checkout. This only effects the Steam Table. Not available on the double steam table option. Now you can take your cart indoors with this option. Simply plug into any 110v electrical outlet. If electric option is selected the cart will not have propane burners. It's an either or type thing. Enjoy!
The cart rests on a D.O.T. Highway approved heavy duty trailer (title included) with baked enamel finish. Bolted and welded construction allows for a super strong structure and will give you many years of use. The leaf spring suspension system allows you to tow it safely at freeway speeds. The tires are standard size 4.8″ x 8″.
The dual (2) commercial burners in the full size steam table are powered by LP Propane Gas. Dual control knobs are standard and allow you to cook more evenly. Burners are lined with holes for even heating and wind resistance. BensCarts uses the best equipment on the market to ensure faithful service from your cart. Under the bread box is a hidden storage area for two full size 20# propane tanks. Many states require you have two propane tanks in case you run out of gas in one, you have a back up. No exposed tanks makes for a safer cart and a professional appearance. A single gas line runs from the burners to the propane storage area and allows you to hook up one tank. A high end LP regulator is included with an easy twist on/off connection.
The tow bar hitch is D.O.T. approved and equipped with a 1 7/8″ ball coupler with two safety chains.
The steam table can accommodate various size pots with lids. You can use the steamer for hot dogs, buns, chili, cheese, sauerkraut and more. Comes standard with large steam table which includes; Three 1/3 size NSF pans and lids and a full size spillage pan.
A leveling post is included, this allows you to level the cart and slides out of the way for towing.
As a D.O.T. approved trailer, our carts include stop, turn and tail lights. Wiring harness includes a standard 4 wire flat connection.
The oversized bread box rivals others in size. Holding up to 30 bags of 12ct buns and other necessities like napkins, foil and dry condiments. It is solid stainless steel and includes a shelf for a more organized system. Instead of using plexiglass doors, BensCarts upgrades all doors to stainless steel for free, which allows you to keep your supplies hidden from customers view. Plexiglass fades and yellows over time getting these fine hairline cracks and streaks that can make your cart look nasty and old. Stainless steel doors allow for a professional look years from now. Each cart is equipped with two doors for easy access from either side of the cart.
Below the bread box, depending on how many propane tanks you have is extra storage space accessible from either side of the cart.
The 9 ft. market umbrella is huge. Allowing for some shade on those hot days. It stands out like nicely for visibility. The umbrella is fabric and its structure is metal to hold up to moderate wind and use. Umbrella comes in Red or Yellow.
Because some states don't require a water system we offer the Cash Cow both ways. With and without sinks and a water system. Click options above for pricing on the water system upgrade if you are required to have a water system and sinks.
A stainless steel grill is available as an upgrade. All states don't allow grills on carts, for details see options tab above.
Offered as a free item with the water system upgrade only. See options tab above.
Before buying a cart, do your due diligence. Make sure you buy a cart that meets your states codes and requirements. I don't want you to buy a cart that you can't use. Simply download or email the cart brochure to your health department and get pre-approved before purchasing. For full details see our free training section.

Even though she dropped out of filming, Lisa Vanderpump was THE topic of conversation this season on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills thanks to the puppygate saga. Unlike most seasons, the ladies did not wrap up that storyline with any sort of peaceful resolve.
Instead, it dragged on to a point where most of the Housewives are not even on speaking terms with Lisa. Until this day. Months after filming wrapped. She showed up to the Season 9 premiere party and left early before her co-stars arrived. Lisa even had an awkward encounter with Kyle Richards while they were shopping. Needless to say, the anticipation was as high as it could be for an LVP reunion appearance, but did she show up? Did she film a separate segment? How did it all go down?

It is my calling to be a chiropractor. I grew up in a chiropractic family and saw the benefits first hand of being adjusted and turning to chiropractic care for health and wellness. As a result I didn't suffer from childhood illnesses like many children do. Because of this I have an extreme passion to help children especially those with severe health challenges. Being a mother of a child that was born with underlying health issues, I understand firsthand how to address the common health issues of newborns and children as well as the more complicated cases from a holistic approach. Where traditional medicine often leaves parents at a loss for how to help themselves or their child, chiropractic and the wellness approach that we offer can help you fill in those gaps and lead you down a path of healing. I understand that a mother wants nothing more than to have a healthy family. Unfortunately, children today are riddled with health problems such as colic, reflux, allergies, asthma, autoimmune disorders, toxicity and much more that can leave them dependant on medications and as a result their quality of life is compromised. It is my goal and mission to help as many people as possible in my lifetime naturally through chiropractic care especially women and children. I look forward to meeting you and becoming a part of your family's journey to extraordinary health.

Lee Camp crystalized the nature of our predicament with one tweet:
"If you don't like change, — You're going to hate extinction!"
We are now in a phase of extreme pressure to evolve into a radically different society. If this were the lifecycle of a butterfly, we must now enter the chrysalis. This will only seem impossible to those who have not grasped the severity of our crisis. Failure amounts to an act of collective suicide. There is no guarantee of success, so everyone needs to engage. Evolve or die. #extinctionrebellion


text: Artifiseer is the solo project of Canadian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and engineer, Ian Livingstone, currently based in Saint John. By combining twisted, noisy atmospherics, effervescent synth lines, and bizarre orchestration with effected percussion and layers of his brooding, agile vocals, Artifiseer offers a unique blend of experimentation and pop sensibility. The project took shape in late 2012, initially as a largely instrumental effort, eventually expanding to incorporate emotive, and often dark, yet abstract lyricism. 2013 saw the release of two EPs, "Recognition", and "Enigma", both of which garnered the attention and praise of several blogs and online publications, including Silent Shout and Grayowl Point. Summer 2015 saw the release of his debut full-length album, "Catalyst".

Published at Friday, August 09th, 2019 - 22:32:12 PM. Wedding Dresses. By Alfreda Hahn.
It is often the hardest part of the wedding for the Bride to organise, agonising over the look, style, price, colour, shape and fit. The most important thing to remember when looking for a wedding dress is to focus on the features of the dress that are most important to you as the bride. This will allow you to narrow down your search to find to the dress that suits you best, and of course in these financially difficult times one that suits your budget.
If you have prominent hips and a smaller bust area, then your wedding dress size will be based on your hip size. Once you get your wedding gown, you need to check if alterations need to be made for a perfect fit. Most brides find that alterations are necessary to get the size right. Ask the boutique or shop owner for estimates on how much you're going to have to pay for dress alterations to determine if you're getting a great bargain or a rotten deal.
