We visited the Car Museum in Latvia. It was very fun and interesting! They had old cars, unique cars and historic cars...we have lots of pictures from there, but they don't do it justice so you'll just have to take my work for it. :)
After the Car Museum we went to an orphanage that Calvary Chapel - Latvia (Christa & Vitaly's church) has been visiting to share God's truth with them. We had a time of singing (in both English and Latvian), then we divided the kids by age and shared Truth with the younger kids as well as with the older kids. After that it was time for a great game of sand volleyball! The older kids wanted to take on the Americans (most of the people that were there were American when you consider the fact that just with Dan's family we were 6 of the people out of 10ish)...they won. :) All in all it was a lot of fun!!
Travel day....we left Riga, Latvia at 2:40pm (their time), landed in Minneapolis around 11:30pm (our time). With an 8 hour time difference that adds up to around 18 hours of travel...YIKES! After that we drove to Joe and Chrystal's house, then headed to St. Cloud to spend the night...we crawled into bed and collapsed at 2am that Sunday morning. EXHAUSTED! The trip was a blast and memories were made that we will forever cherish! Thanks again Christa & Vitaly!!!!

Currently we provide hybrid power to Off Grid telecom towers which are mostly dependent on Diesel Generator as their main source of power. However, increasing diesel prices makes it very expensive to operate on diesel generators. Also, with the GOI mandate of eliminating DG till 2022 has put tremendous pressures on telecom tower companies to switch to renewable energy.

Ajekar parish was part of the large Attur, Karkal parish and the parish priests of the Attur church catered the needs of the place. There was a great need to build a church and establish a parish as it was not possible for the parish priest of Karkala to meet all the needs of the catholic families. A priest used to come for liturgical celebration on Sundays and feast days from Attur until the year 1921. And the liturgical celebrations were conducted in a provisional sheds.
In 1922 Mr David Lobo, a catholic living here in the area, had offered a plot of land for the construction of a church. Under the guides and supervision of Rev. Fr Salvadore D'Souza, then parish priest of Attur, Karkala the building of the church began. But it took a long time until the church building was completed due to the various difficulties. In 1935 the church building was completed and was inaugurated.
On December 8, 1940 almost five years after the inauguration of the church building, Bishop Victor R. Fernandez established this church as an independent parish. At that time it had 90 Catholic families. On January 5, 1941, Fr Marcel G. Menezes took charge of the parish as the first parish priest.
The church was repaired and renovated several times to meet the needs of the people und the leadership of various parish priests. The major change came to the parish when Fr Ligoury D'Souza was the parish priest, when the electrification of the church was done in the year 1960. There was a major renovation under the leadership of and Rev. Fr Leo Veigas. The parish church celebrated its golden jubilee in 1990.
At around 2009 the parish felt the great need to build a new building and under the leadership of Fr. Valerian Fernandes the new Church building was built. And the old Church building had to make place for the new building. In the year 2009 the Old Church building was torn down. And on Thursday, Apirl 2010 new Church Building was completed and inaugurated.
In 2011 the bell tower was erected under the leadership of Rev. Fr Kiran Pinto and was completed in the 2012.

Burford Antiques Fair 2019
Burford Antiques Fair, Fox House Fine Art, Decorative Pictures, Cotswolds interest...
Published on: 14th May 2019
21st January 2015
From the early 20th century a select number of women artists began to make an impact in the milieu of animal painting. The English aristocracy's passion for field sports, and their devotion to the animals which enhanced it had long provided rich subject matter for artists with a talent for horses, dogs and game, but although Alfred Munnings held a dominant position in the world of equine portraiture, his slick, impressionist syle left an opening for artists with a more careful and accurate appoach, and who were accessible to clients with less deep pockets than the patrons of Munnings. One of these was F. M. Hollams, (1877-1963). She is described by Stella Walker, in 'Britsih Sporting Art in the Twentieth Century' (London 1989):"Always a lightning artist, after looking at a horse for only five minutes and making a few sketches on pieces of wood in her paint box, ....the first picture would be completed by the end of another week." Her chauffeur would apparently have been commissioned to collect samples of the horses' manes and coats. Walker comments that Hollams 'had to compete with such outstanding exponents as Munnings and Lionel Edwards', but their respective styles were so different the comparison is hardly relevant. Hollams filled a need for lifelike reminders of treasured horses and dogs for customers who probably had little interest in art, but the results have an almost iconic appeal, and represent a way of life that changed for ever after the first and second world wars, when the country piles with stables full of horses, which she visited in her large car, started to decay and be sold off when their incumbents could no longer afford their upkeep.
The prices achieved by the artist F.M, Hollams, sometimes referred to as Frances Mabel, sometimes Florence Mabel, have shown a marked and consistent increase in recent months. Individual sales in the last twelve months include 'Donzelon' and 'Reynoldstown' fetching £3750.00 and £4750.00 respectively at Christie's July sporting sale in London and 'Statesman', £4000, from the December sporting sale. Hollams is also popular in the USA, and good prices have been achieved at Christie's New York. One of the best collections of work by Hollams can be seen at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, the property of the National Trust.

There are many reasons to splurge on dinner now and then. Whatever the occasion, you can be sure that Memphis has a fine dining establishment for all of life's celebrations. Here are some of the best the city has to offer.
Address690 S Perkins Rd, Memphis, TN 38117-4706, USA
Phone+1 901-818-2273
ACRE blends upscale dining with a cozy and intimate atmosphere, resulting in an eating experience that is romantic and elegant. Although the menu changes with the seasons, some things to look for are the braised veal breast, the mushroom Maltagliati, and the foie gras terrine. You can also enjoy an intimate meal on the picturesque patio.
Chez Philippe
Address2638, 149 Union Ave #4, Memphis, TN 38103, USA
Phone+1 901-529-4188
From the velvet curtains to the fresh roses on each table, this is arguably one of the fanciest and certainly the most formal romantic restaurant in Memphis. The French-Asian cuisine is unique enough to be special but familiar enough for our Americanized palettes. While the entrees are fantastic, be sure to leave enough room in your stomach and your wallet for Chez Philippe's to-die-for desserts.
Erling Jensen
Address1044 S Yates Rd, Memphis, TN 38119, USA
Phone+1 901-763-3700
Erling Jensen is considered by some to be the finest restaurant in town. It offers a romantic atmosphere with smooth music and elegant, yet unassuming decor. The menu offers a nice variety of selections like grilled bison, roasted monkfish, and rack of lamb. For a romantic finish, share the chocolate soufflé with your sweetheart.
Folk's Folly
Address1044 S Yates Rd, Memphis, TN 38119, USA
Phone+1 901-763-3700
This fine-dining steakhouse is voted best steakhouse in Memphis time and time again. If you're not in the mood for steak, though, Folk's Folly offers a nice selection of seafood, chicken, pork, and lamb. Expect a classic steakhouse environment with mood lighting, white tablecloths, sides served a la carte and impeccable service.
Address50 Harbor Town Square, Memphis, TN 38103-8918, USA
Phone+1 901-260-3300
Dim lighting and soft piano music make Paulette's an undeniably romantic restaurant, plus its location in Harbor Town only add to the atmosphere. While the house specialty is the filet mignon, I also recommend the Louisiana crab cakes. And if you don't want to splurge on dinner, Paulette's has one of the best brunch menus in town.
Address39 S Main St, Memphis, TN 38103, USA
Phone+1 901-521-8005
Your date won't have to choose between the fish or the beef at Flight restaurant downtown since every menu item has the option of being served in three-item "flight" form. Pick from pre-selected themed flights of wine, salads, entrees, and desserts or mix and match to create an unforgettable meal in a candlelight upscale environment.

I love to use AMEX Offers. They're a super-easy way to earn money back from your American Express credit cards. If used often enough, you're easily able to negate most or all of the annual fees that their cards charge.
Most of the AMEX Offers try to drive you to use a specific merchant. Such as the round of hotel offers from this summer or the discounts on restaurants at Walt Disney World. While these offers have expired, I noticed a new round of offers hit my accounts recently and they're going to be even easier to use. These offers are targeted towards everyday spending.
I found these offers spread all over our AMEX accounts. Some were only on one card so you'll have to go through each account. You're only able to see up to 100 offers in your account at a time, If you look to be maxed out, use the trick from the link in this post to reveal all of your offers.
Here are just some of the offers I found:

Moorses and Olsons attend American Farm Bureau Convention
Grant and Denaca Moorse and Carolyn and Jonathan Olson of Lyon County attended the American Farm Bureau Federation's (AFBF) 100th Annual Convention held in New Orleans, Louisiana Jan. 11-16.
Grant serves on the MFBF Board of Directors as the Young Farmers and Ranchers chair and is from Minnesota. Carolyn serves on the MFBF Board of Directors as the District III representative. Attendees had the opportunity to attend farm tours and sessions and hear from U.S. President Donald Trump, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and AFBF President Zippy Duvall.
"The farmers and ranchers of America are very resilient and still maintain optimism about our government," said the Moorses. "The Young Farmers & Ranchers contests were very competitive and sessions were interesting, but what really made this conference enjoyable is talking to people from all over the country and hearing their agricultural story."
Carolyn Olson presented on organic row crop farming during one of the session at the AFBF Annual Convention.
"My session was an introduction to growing organically in a row crop system. We also raise hogs conventionally. We went the organic route because a buyer was asking us for them, and it is a method of farming that works for us," said Olson. "The American Farm Bureau Annual Convention is always a good opportunity to visit with other farmers and learn what works for them."
In news regarding the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation from the AFBF Annual Convention.

Dear Woodbridge Parents and Teachers,
I am writing in response to a letter written by a parent at Beecher Road School, questioning the professional development which has been provided by staff developers connected to the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project, Columbia University. The questions raised relate especially to K-2 grades at Beecher, and so I thought, because I am currently the K-2 staff developer at that school, I'd answer directly.
First, I thank Michelle Cubanski for her vigilance on behalf of her child and all children. She is right to want to be sure that teachers are teaching a balanced approach to reading and writing. The only thing I take issue with is the claim that the organization I belong to doesn't value phonics. We strongly and explicitly suggest that every school adopt a phonics program, and we help schools analyze and address the strengths and limitations of the most popular phonics programs, and we coach teachers in using those programs.
Personally, I have a Master's degree from Teachers College and a reading specialist license from a reading disabilities program at Fordham University. At Fordham, I was fortunate enough to work with Dr. Joanna Uhry. She is the author of Dyslexia: Theory and Practice of Remedial Instruction. Dr. Uhry researched in my first grade classroom and we worked as close partners while I was learning at Fordham. Recently, I participated in a three day conference at Stanford University. This was a think tank convened by the Carnegie Institute to discuss best practices in reading with the goal of having all kids meeting standard by the end of third grade. This amazing gathering included some of the most influential leaders in K-3 literacy from across the nation, and my focal subgroup revolved around phonics. Most recently, I am working with other colleagues at Teachers College to author a phonics program that is contracted to be published a year from now.
My point is not to toot my own horn but rather to communicate to any Woodbridge parent that yes, indeed, the TCRWP values phonics. We value grammar as well and have authored books on that topic. We also value teaching students the rigorous demanding skills that are required in today's world. We support kids learning to be avid, flexible readers and writers.
The TCRWP works in most of Woodbridge's sister districts, including Westport, Darien, Scarsdale, Weston, Ridgefield, North Haven, Simsbury…and about 50 other Connecticut districts. Many of CT's highest scoring schools partner with the Project. Most importantly, the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project is a research-based organization, and our work is always informed by a critical study of our results and by input from the many teachers, schools leaders, researchers and parents who regularly ask probing questions and share suggestions with us.
I hope my reply helps to further inform this crucial conversation about best practices in literacy. On a personal note, I have found the administration, teachers, and especially the students in Woodbridge to be thoughtful and committed to taking on literacy work that I believe will help them take on the world. I have been so honored to work with everyone in the school district.

An urgent need exists to improve the outcomes of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), and especially of those with metastatic disease. Treatments that enhance antitumour immune responses - such as immune-checkpoint inhibition - provide an opportunity to do this. Despite initial success, durable response rates in patients with advanced-stage MIBC treated with novel inhibitory antibodies targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or its endogenous ligand programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) remain low. Radiotherapy is part of the management of bladder cancer in many patients. Evidence that radiotherapy has immunogenic properties is now available, but radiotherapy-induced immune responses are often negated by immunosuppression within the tumour microenvironment. Anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibodies might enhance radiotherapy-induced antitumour immunity. This effect has been demonstrated in preclinical models of bladder cancer, and clinical trials involving this approach are currently recruiting. Combination treatment strategies provide an exciting opportunity for urological oncologists to not only improve the chances of cure in patients undergoing radical treatment for MIBC, but also to increase long-term response rates in those with metastatic disease.

Warm Holiday Wishes
This card was created exclusively for the Joan's Touch challenge where we were to use polka dots, a gate fold card, and and a decorated belly band for the card. My Sheri Baldi graphic was colored with copics, pencils and gamsol, and Crayola watercolor pencils. I also used 3D Crystal Effects on the cup. The hat, muff and trim is scribbled with Glistening Snow Writer by Deco Art, and the whole card is embossed with polka dots EF (by SU) with each dot inked with Gelly Roll star writer. The die I used for the window onto the graphic is Spellbinder Labels 18- S4-310. This has been narrowed and trimmed. The top of the card and the belly-band is edged with a polka dot scallop punch edged (eK) in the same Snow Writer as the graphic. Inside, the graphic is mounted on the polka dotted background and is diecut from the largest of the Labels 18 dies. The dies and other supplies for this card can be purchased at Joan's Gardens.

Today, Alberta Distillers is the number one rye producer in North America with more than 450,000 barrels aging on site. After years of perfecting their craft, the master distillers at Alberta Distillers wanted to continue to push the rye envelope and come up with not just another rye whisky, but a better rye whisky. And so, Alberta® Rye Dark Batch™ was born. A true expression of the skilled craftsmen who have made rye whisky their passion for nearly 70 years.

Has the current political system in the People's Republic of China lost its legitimacy in the eyes of the Chinese public? On the basis of three carefully drawn surveys of Beijing residents between 1995 and 1999, the author finds that diffuse support for the current political system—based on attitudes toward institutions and values—remains strong, at least among city-dwellers, though it is gradually declining. Specific support for current political authorities, as measured by evaluations of their performance in major policy domains, is much weaker, with many citizens evaluating the authorities' performance as mediocre.
In analyzing the longitudinal data presented here, the author finds that the same set of key sociodemographic attributes and sociopolitical orientations variably influence citizens' attitudes toward the political system and their evaluations of leaders' performance. Further, the study shows that citizens' attitudes toward the system, on the one hand, and their evaluation of incumbents' performance on the other, have different impacts on forms of political participation, such as voting and contacting authorities.
Jie Chen is associate professor of political science and director of the Asian Studies Institute at Old Dominion University.

"A fascinating study.… Highly recommended."—Choice
"Despite obstacles presented by Chinese authorities, the number of reliable survey-based studies of politics in China by scholars based abroad has grown considerably since the late 1980s. Among such scholars, Jie Chen has engaged in a cross-sectional study: a set of representative sample surveys of Beijing residents, conducted in 1995, 1997 and 1999. The surveys explore the distribution, sources and consequences of political support, an issue of clear relevance to our understanding of regime stability and Communist Party survival.… Popular Political Support in Urban China is a thoroughly empirical study.… The evidence is presented throughout in a clear style that assumes the reader has no prior knowledge of survey methods, statistical inference, political science.… This is undoubtedly a strength."—The China Journal
"It is sometimes assumed that popular support for the current regime in Beijing has fallen in recent years.… In Popular Political Support in Urban China, Jie Chen presents evidence both supporting and challenging this view.… Chen's book contributes to our understanding of popular attitudes and reminds us that the Chinese Communist Party continues to enjoy considerable legitimacy. It is highly recommended to readers."—China Review
"This is a very impressive study on political support in China. It is remarkably well-written, one of the best examples I have seen of making survey data understandable to general readers. The author bases his analysis on an extensive reading of the relevant literature on the theoretical issue of support, and on findings from previous studies of democratic countries, the former Soviet Union, and China. It will be a welcome addition to these various bodies of literature."—Bruce Dickson, George Washington University
"This manuscript is a welcome addition to the public opinion literature on China. The application of diffuse and specific support to China is innovative. The three surveys at three time periods are valuable in discussing trends [of popular political support]."—Wenfang Tang, University of Pittsburgh

Del Frisco's Restaurant Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:DFRG) today announced two new planned restaurant openings, a Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse in Los Angeles, California and a Del Frisco's Grille in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The locations for the award- winning brands are both slated to open in 2018.
"We look forward to expanding the presence of two of our differentiated concepts, Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse and Del Frisco's Grille, in California and Florida," said Norman Abdallah, Chief Executive Officer of Del Frisco's Restaurant Group, Inc. "With these two openings, our total new store openings now sit at seven in 2018, with four Double Eagle Steakhouse's and three Grille's. We are eager to share our renowned wine list, excellent steaks and unique architecture and design with our guests at the exquisite Westfield Century City in Los Angeles, and are confident that the heart of Fort Lauderdale, where residents and visitors are seeking out a unique experience, is a great fit for our Grille concept."
The two-story Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse at Westfield Century City, located on the Westside of Los Angeles in one of the most desirable restaurant and retail areas in the country, is scheduled to open in November 2018. The 15,000 square foot restaurant will feature bars on both levels as well as a Champagne lounge on the second level. A focal point of the restaurant will be operable windows that open to Santa Monica Blvd., creating an indoor/outdoor environment suited to the Los Angeles climate. Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse will be joining Nordstrom, Javier's, Eataly, and many first-to-market concepts in a property that recently underwent a $1 billion renovation.
"Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse will further enhance our flagship developments in Century City," said David Ruddick, Executive Vice President of Leasing for Westfield. "This unique project represents the future of the Westfield portfolio and highlight public art and community spaces as well as feature state of the art technology alongside some of the finest shopping, dining, amenities and customer experiences in the world. Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse will be a welcome addition to these offerings."
Del Frisco's Grille in Fort Lauderdale is also slated to open in November 2018. The 8,000 square foot restaurant will be located in the middle of the Arts & Entertainment District in the bustling Las Olas Boulevard area of Downtown Fort Lauderdale. The high traffic area is a must visit destination, with a popular dining and shopping center for both locals and visitors as well as providing a primary connection to the beach. The new Grille will be in close proximity to many high-end retail stores including Maus & Hoffman Catalog/Outlet and J. McLaughlin as well as various art galleries. The Las Olas Boulevard site features two expansive patios, one running the entire length of the premises along E. Las Olas and the other facing the internal courtyard of the SunTrust building.
Logos, product and company names mentioned are the property of their respective owners.

The 2018 Juke Box Heroes Tour, featuring Foreigner, Whitesnake and Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening, gets underway tonight in Bangor, Maine.
Whitesnake's David Coverdale tells ABC Radio that with the energy and the many classic songs that all three bands will deliver, fans likely will be totally drained at the end of each show.
"[Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening are] gonna be playing great," Coverdale declares. "[Followed by] Whitesnake's greatest hits, then Foreigner's greatest hits. I hope everybody will be as exhausted as we are when they leave."
Foreigner guitarist/songwriter Mick Jones, meanwhile, says his band's current lineup is at the top of its game.
"Our lead singer, Kelly Hansen, has developed into an incredible showman, apart from…[being] a fantastic singer," Jones tells ABC Radio. "And the energy in the band…I can't remember when we had it that strong."
Meanwhile, Jones reveals that, like on Foreigner's 40th anniversary tour in 2017, some of the band's former members will make appearances at select shows this year, including founding frontman Lou Gramm. Mick recently revealed that Gramm will perform at about three concerts, including one taking place this Tuesday, June 19, in Syracuse, New York.
Coverdale says he's excited that Gramm will be on hand for a few shows, "'cause I haven't seen him for a lifetime." He adds, "Beautiful singer, beautiful guy."
The concerts will begin with a set by Bonham's Led Zeppelin tribute act. Jones notes that Jason, who was Foreigner's drummer from 2004 to 2008, is "very, very proud and attached to the memory of his father [late Zeppelin drummer John Bonham], and he talks about that during the show…[H]e's really becoming a rounded entertainer. And just a sweet guy, and we love him."

Has any one item been reused more creatively, with more functional use and more practical application than the lowly used wood pallet? An item made for the simple task of helping to move heavy and large objects in warehouses.
Has any one item been recycled, up-cycled more spectacularly than the wood pallet? I would wager than there is not an object so often transformed into a useful object than this stack of wooden planks pieced together to form a small slab for the simple transportation of other sometimes more useful objects and products.
In an effort to bring every idea or wood pallet project onto one web page, we present 30 Used Wood Pallet Projects & Ideas to spark you creativity or inspire you to create then next pallet project.

More Insights with Infrared
New Method Enables Quantitative Visualization of Sucrose Distribution in Plants
Sucrose is the most important form of sugar transport in plants, the main source of energy and a signalling agent in stress. Standard analytical methods can precisely determine the amount of sucrose, but only if the cells and tissues are destroyed in an extraction process. Advances in infrared spectroscopy now allow quantitative visualization of sucrose distribution with microscopic resolution. This new precision tool offers researchers and plant breeders a wide range of possibilities.
Sucrose, also known as cane or beet sugar, influences all growth and development processes due to its elementary tasks. Researchers are therefore constantly developing new measuring methods to determine the quantities of this disaccharide in tissues reliably and quickly. However, none of the current methods allows the visualization and simultaneous quantification of the sucrose distribution in tissues. However, this is exactly what would be necessary to make statements on sugar transport, storage activity and yield formation in crops such as barley, wheat or rape.
Infrared Fingerprint of Sucrose
Previous imaging methods for the mapping of sucrose are either not quantitative, too unspecific or even require a genetic modification of the plant to be investigated, which would be problematic for the application in cultivated plants. Based on infrared spectroscopy, a new solution has now been developed: the frozen sample is cut into microscopically thin slices (~10 µm) and measured with an infrared microscope [1]. It has long been known that medium infrared radiation leads to specific oscillations in the sucrose molecule. In the resulting IR spectrum, a characteristic "fingerprint" is generated. The art was to filter this fingerprint out of the remaining signals and the very complex Fourier Transform spectra. This was achieved, among other things, by the introduction of an internal standardization, which, analogous to chromatographic procedures, makes the measurement results batch-independent, more comparable and better quantifiable. After baseline correction and comparison with standard spectra, a mathematical model is created which maps the sucrose distribution in the observed tissue section with an accuracy of at least 90%.
The quantifiable range spans 20-1000 mM, i.e. biologically extremely relevant concentrations. The spatial resolution of the method is essentially determined by the objective used in the IR microscope and can be further increased from currently 12 µm. The amount of work required and the sample throughput that can be achieved are of course also important for analytical methods. Depending on the complexity of the tissue and the resolution, the preparation of a quantitative sucrose map takes 2-6 hours - further optimizations are possible.
What Can you See now with the New FTIR Method?
First, we wanted to visualize the sucrose distribution in barley leaves for the first time. Our analyses showed that sucrose was much more concentrated in the phloem than in the surrounding leaf tissue (mesophyll). This concentration is mediated by specific transport proteins, and in the case of barley leads to average sucrose amounts of ~0.3 pg/µm2 in the phloem tissue, which corresponds to concentrations of about 45 mM [1]. The systematic analysis of all phloem pathways of leaf and stem showed that this concentration is subject to considerable fluctuations. This was unexpected as it was assumed that all phloem trajectories represent a continuum. Obviously, there are still unknown mechanisms that influence sucrose transport and need to be investigated. The sugar is transported from the leaf and stem via a central vein into the developing grains (see diagram on the left). As the sucrose map (right side) of a grain shows, sucrose accumulates in the ventral part, where the vein is located and discharge processes take place [2]. From here the sucrose flows along a concentration gradient towards the endosperm (this corresponds to the starch storage tissue inside the grain). Our spatially high-resolution sucrose maps show another special feature: in the area of the transfer cell layers, a local accumulation of sucrose occurs. This is probably due to specific transport proteins which - activated by proton pumps - "pump" sucrose into the endosperm. The new FTIR method was able to identify this region consisting of only a few cell layers as a particularly active zone. The visualization of such small-scale transport regions is of particular interest and can hardly be visualized with previous methods.
The FTIR method can also show what happens when specific transport proteins are no longer present. This was demonstrated with the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana: if members of the Sweets gene family are mutated, this leads to characteristic changes in the sucrose distribution in the root area [3]. This has multiple effects on the growth, metabolism and defence of plant pathogens.
The new FTIR process offers a wide range of applications for researchers and companies. Plant researchers can now use the standardized method to systematically measure the sucrose concentration in various tissues, including the pathways of the plant. Such measurements are an indicator of the plant's growth power, which is important not least in the breeding of new, high-yielding varieties. The method is not limited to sucrose, but can be further developed for the analysis of other ingredients. For example, the FTIR method has already been used to map raffinose (a triple sugar) and starch in oil and cereal seeds [1,4]. In principle, many ingredients can be determined by FTIR as long as they show a sufficiently strong interaction with IR radiation. We are therefore optimistic about many new fields of application.

It was every auctioneer's dream: Sorting through the usual clutter in the attic of an old New England home, Dan Meader came across a trove of objects far more precious and rare than expected. Tucked away among the usual ships' chests and rush seats was a little hoard of objects by, and gifts from, the great Pop artist Andy Warhol, including what seems to be a unique and unknown late sculpture. "I started shaking — 'I can't believe I'm holding this!,'" was how Mr. Meader remembered the moment, when reached by phone earlier this week.
The home, in Amesbury, Mass., had been owned by Mr. Meader's old friend Harriett Gould, who died a year ago. The Warholiana hidden away in its attic had once belonged to her son Jon Gould, a Hollywood executive who was Warhol's last boyfriend. He died in 1986 of complications from AIDS. The Warhol trove, and the ships' chests and rush seats, will go on the block Saturday at 1 p.m. at John McInnis Auctioneers in Amesbury. Mr. Meader is the firm's director.
The Warhol objects include photographs that he took of Jon Gould and then gave to him, and other gifts including a fine Austrian coat, signed Warhol books, a boxed set of Proust (Warhol was far more literary than people know) and some antique carousel horses very like the ones Warhol collected in the 1950s. Some of these gifts, as Mr. Meader discovered, seem to be mentioned in the artist's diaries. They reflect the passionate crush that Warhol had on Gould, who at times lived with him. The archives at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh overflow with poignant notes and valentines from the artist to Gould, along with a few from Gould to Warhol.
Warhol, often billed as a hardhearted cynic, was actually, or also, a true romantic who almost never found the love he craved.
The sculpture uncovered in the attic is not mentioned in the artist's diaries or, apparently, anywhere else in the vast Warhol literature. It is very unusual, even by Warholian standards. It seems as though the artist simply took a blank stretched canvas, about 16 by 25 inches, and folded it diagonally until its stretcher broke. He then brushed three big dollops of acrylic paint — pale yellow, baby blue and red — over the splintered remains.
If it weren't for the object's provenance in the Gould household, plus its prominent and seemingly authentic inscription and signature — "Jon/Andy Warhol 83" — Warhol would hardly be the first maker who came to mind. On the other hand, his output was much more varied and eccentric than people realize. It went way beyond the soup cans, Marilyns and society portraits Warhol is best known for: He once made a "sculpture" that was nothing more than a motion-alarmed space in a room; he was known to use urinating men to "paint" a new kind of abstraction.
The sculpture might likewise reflect Warhol's long and vexed relationship to the abstract: A favorite college teacher of his had been one of the pioneers of American abstraction but was switching to the figure just when Warhol studied with him. A tension between pure form and notable content informed Warhol's entire career. It came to a head in the 1980s with a series of "abstractions" that did double duty as camouflage tarps and Rorschach blots. An "abstract" sculpture that also stands as a trashed painting doesn't seem an impossible experiment to add to those — even if it might seem more failed than successful.
Mr. Meader has given the sculpture an estimate of $500,000 to $1,000,000 — which, he admits, is more like a guesstimate, given the lack of pieces to compare it to. Like the other items in Saturday's auction, he said, it is being sold without a minimum price: "The public will determine on that day what it's worth."

A tip from the famous tipster @evleaks says that Samsung's upcoming phablet Galaxy Note 4 will have the same color schemes as the Galaxy S5. This means the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be available in in electric BLUE, copper GOLD, charcoal BLACK and shimmery WHITE., same as Galaxy S5 devices. @evleaks also announced this on its Twitter account. Since @evleaks has been the most reliable inside informer till date, the leak might well turn out to be true.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is expected to be unveiled at the IFA 2014 trade show in the beginning of September somewhere around that time when Samsung tablets have usually been announced.
There have been several other speculations and rumors about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 4 doing the rounds. The handset is supposed to feature a 5.7-inch like its predecessor. It is rumored to have a QHD 1440 x 2560p resolution screen with super AMOLED display. The device is expected to sport the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 32-bit quad-core processor for the LTE model and Samsung's own Exymos 5433 64-bit processor for the international version. Additionally, it is expected to sport a 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage.
Rumor says the device will have a main camera of 12MP OIS enabled or 16MP without OIS and a 3.7 MP front-facing snapper. This will give the device a thinner frame. The Galaxy Note 4 is also supposed to have a new lock screen that has to be swiped to unlock and will be launched on September 25 within 2-3 weeks of its unveiling.
Reports also suggest that mass production of the phablet will begin in July and it will be ready to hit the shelves in September.

After I gave birth to my kiddo, I was confronted with some strange crust on his head that wouldn't go with any dermatological solution or shampoo. And I tried a few! This crust is called cradle cap and it appear in the first months of any infant (very common among babies these days), so there's no need to worry mommies!
After trying all sort of dermatological products, I decided to do my homework and search for something more effective, and I discovered this Vaseline remedy recommended by a doctor from Seattle, and I said, why not try Vaseline, because it can't do no harm after wall!
And it didn't! It actually helped me to get rid of that cradle cap on my baby's head!
You need:
- Vaseline
- a small comb/soft hair brush
- baby shampoo
How to proceed?
Well, I applied the Vaseline on my kiddo's head with 15 minutes before the bath, and I let it do its job! In these 15 minutes I combed my kid's hair, with small and tiny comb especially designed for babies.
After the time has passed, I took a bath to my baby and I washed his hair with baby shampoo, and I used a special dermatitis shampoo from the pharmacy.
The great thing is that Vaseline will take effect 3 days in a row but you have to apply it again after 3 days, even if the results are visible after the first use. It's indicated to apply this remedy until the cradle cap is completely gone!
I've seen completely results after the second use, and I honestly tell you that not even a tiny crust was on my baby's head!

Sweet Ophelia update part II
Ah, just a day later and already I'm taking a step back on my estimated completion date for Sweet Ophelia and the Tinseltown Blues... I'm nearly done with my latest draft, which I'm fairly happy with, though I know it could be even better, so I'm going to take the time I need to go through the whole thing once more from start to finish. I'd definitely rather take my time to get it right than to rush it and feel dissatisfied with the final outcome. Just when I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, too! Oh well, it's more about the journey than the destination in any case, right? I'll enjoy the process as much as possible and be sure to put forth my very best effort, however long that takes...
3 comments:
Well it sounds like Sweet Ophelia is determind to take her own sweet time - and who can blame her?ReplyDelete
Like you say, Kenneth, only best to let go when you know it's ready. That said, I can't wait to read it!
Thanks, Janice, I'm really eager to get it out there so it's hard to put the brakes on my launch plans! It shouldn't be too much longer, in any case. I'll send you a beta copy when I feel it's ready and you can tell me what you think.ReplyDelete
Thanks Kenneth - I'm excited about that!ReplyDelete
