JS BACH Solo Violin Sonatas Nos 1 & 2 (Hahn)
For all the appreciable virtues offered by recent contenders in the Bach Sonatas and Partitas field, I cannot think of a single performer who begins to compare with Hilary Hahn. This is quite simply magnificent violin-playing, the sort that while you're listening to it convinces you that the music couldn't possibly be played any other way. One only need sample the elevated flight of the A minor Sonata's opening Grave, playing that combines candid expression with expertly judged pacing, to confirm the extent of Hahn's achievement. The fugues of both the A minor and G minor Sonatas abound in such ploys as 'statement and echo', variegated attack, carefully placed diminuendos and crescendos, a warming legato and chords that are strong without resorting to textural coarseness. Compare the first minute or so of the A minor Fugue with the Fugue from the C major Sonata included on Hahn's first solo Bach album (Sony, 2/98 – which features the other half of the solo cycle) and you soon realise just how far she's come since her teenage years, the tempo marginally more mobile and the variety of nuance and tone on offer so much wider than it had been.
And what about the A minor Sonata's gently pulsing Andante? To call this playing miraculous might seem like hyperbolic overkill, until you actually hear it for yourself. Not since Heifetz, whose approach is similarly vocal, have I heard such eloquent reportage of this heavenly music, Hahn keeping the gently palpitating accompaniment audibly supportive of the top line, her sound consistently warm, her tone rich but never overbearing, the general mood solemnly imploring. Come the midway point (at around 2'46") and she cues a brief pause for breath, which in turn allows us room for thought. Indeed, I would cite this track in particular (track 15) as an appropriate sampling point for anyone who normally finds Bach's solo violin music a bit of a slog to listen to, the sound and approach are so utterly seductive.
The opening of the G minor Sonata's Adagio is uncommonly broad, the ensuing monologue full of light and shade, the first four notes of the fugue that follows built on a subtle crescendo. As with the A minor Sonata's Fugue, Hahn makes expressive capital out of Bach's arpeggiated writing (which at 2'03" excitedly takes flight) with never a hint of ugliness. The B minor Partita is no less beautiful, the Allemande morphing into its 'double' on an even keel, Hahn here employing finely spun vibrato. All this made me wish that she'd now go back and re record that first (Sony) programme so that we could have all six solo works captured in what is surely her prime. The actual recording process was interesting in that Hahn started working on the new album some six years ago. She then shelved what she had done and went back to the project five years later, so what we have here was recorded between June 2012 and June 2017, the majority from the latest sessions. All this is typical of Hahn's almost Gouldian approach to recording, and the results are spectacular.
As to digital comparisons (and apologies in advance for the seemingly unavoidable gender bias) there will be those who favour the ascetic tone and more demonstrable flexibility of, say, Alina Ibragimova (Hyperion, 11/09); or Julia Fischer (Pentatone, 6/05), an imaginative player who steers a course somewhere between Hahn and Ibragimova; or Rachel Podger (Channel Classics, 7/99, 12/99) whose cool, limpid handling of the music also works well. Collectors who prefer this period-savvy approach are therefore very well served. As ever, the 'problem' of period performance versus post-Romantic interpretation will open a critical chasm. It always does. But I cannot pose as a fraud just because my tastes, and the tastes of various others, happen to run counter to current trends in Bach scholarship. As Nicholas Kenyon meaningfully asked in our October issue, what did Bach sound like in his day? More to the point, in this particular context, would hearing Hilary Hahn's performing gifts have dazzled him with new-found expressive potential for an instrument that he loved and played himself? What would his violin music have sounded like thereafter? We could speculate endlessly but I rather suspect that he would have loved what he heard and acted accordingly. Maybe it's a generational thing; but, speaking personally, Hahn touches my heart in a way that the players quoted above don't, so while scribbling this 'rave' review (which it undoubtedly is) I can at least acquit myself with a good conscience. You should by now know whether or not this CD is for you. I adored it.

The 2010 HNS Convention
The transport of hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) by sea is a vital trade. Chemicals and other products underpin many manufacturing processes and thanks to IMO regulations, they are transported safely. However, incidents do happen and, when they do, victims need to be adequately and efficiently compensated. Despite this, currently there is no comprehensive and international regime in force as the International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea, 1996 was never ratified by sufficient number of States.
In April 2010, an international conference on the revision of the HNS Convention adopted the Protocol of 2010 to the HNS Convention (2010 HNS Protocol), that was designed to address practical problems that had prevented many States from ratifying the original Convention.
Given the IOPC Funds' long experience in managing the oil pollution compensation system and, as requested by the International Conference that adopted the Protocol, the IOPC Funds' Secretariat has been tasked with assisting the IMO Secretariat in setting up the HNS Fund and with making preparations for the first session of the HNS Assembly.
The IOPC Funds continues to work together with the IMO Secretariat to assist States' ratification of or accession to the Protocol in order to facilitate the entry into force of the 2010 HNS Convention as soon as possible. It is not unusual for an international treaty to take several years to enter into force and the 2010 HNS Protocol is relatively new.
In order to assist States, reporting guidelines and model reporting forms for providing data on the total quantities of contributing cargo received in a State have been adopted and published. In addition, an online database (the HNS Finder) of HNS substances that fall within the definition of contributing cargo under the 2010 HNS Protocol has been developed and made available. Importantly, engagement with States considering ratifying the Protocol and the industry stakeholders potentially affected by the Convention has continued through workshops and other means.
The most recent activities undertaken to assist with the ratification of the Protocol as well as general information on the HNS Convention and the 2010 HNS Protocol is available at: www.hnsconvention.org. This website, managed and maintained by the IOPC Funds, is home to the HNS Finder and provides access to the HNS blog, established by the Funds' Secretariat, to facilitate communication between the members of the Correspondence Group, established by the IMO Legal Committee, which advocates for the ratification of the 2010 HNS Protocol through information and experience sharing.

"Six sessions with Jenny challenged me to think carefully about what I was doing and why in all areas of my life, not just my art. It enabled me to focus on the important things and make time to cultivate what matters – which of course means letting go of things that may be good but which get in the way. It was the kind of kickstart which I believe we all need from time to time, and has given me the tools to carry out a regular review of where I am, even who I am, and what I want to be doing. I thoroughly recommend Jenny's 'Coachworx' sessions." A.B, Artist
"It was a pleasure meeting Jenny. She is friendly, professional, positive, supportive and approachable. She listened to my plans and both career-related and personal concerns, helped me weighed up practicalities, pros and cons of my options, and then helped me focus on my ultimate goal.
We made a quick simple plan to kick-start my new creative career plans. I now have some practical tools to help me plan my week, working directly towards my goals, and I have a half year and year goal. It was mostly stuff I kind of knew deep down already but I feel a lot more focused and in control of where I want to go and feel that I have got all the pieces of the puzzle together and I got some useful advise too, to hopefully stop me going off-track. It was definitely worth my relatively small amount of time and money meeting Jenny. Thank you!" M.Smith, budding Illustrator & Creative
"My coaching session with Jenny was really helpful in giving me greater clarity and focus about my art practice. I came away feeling excited about putting the plan we discussed into action. I appreciated Jenny's expertise as both an artist and coach. Jenny put me at ease with her friendly approach and it felt like we achieved a lot in the hour in a relaxed way." Amy, Artist
"I wanted to say a big thank you for the IGNITE session, it was amazing and has made a huge difference to my business. I had no idea what to expect of the day and thought it may be more to do with running businesses but I was amazed to discover the benefit of examining our personalities and how and why we are driven or held back. Since the sessions I have forged ahead and created a studio in my home and began to take myself seriously as an artist. With my studio up and running and being able to focus on my work I began to be inundated with commissions leading up to Christmas! Astounding the difference self belief can make? I also feel very positive for the new year and going forward into 2019… thank you once again." Mo Hawthorn, Artist artist feedback Coaching
"Fantastic small group session yesterday by Jenny from Coachworx at Dot-Art, Liverpool. Jenny was very approachable, knowledgeable and friendly. She led us, all artists, through a series of intensive exercises which enabled us to set individual, short and long term goals for ourselves and make an action plan to take us forward. We were able to focus on our strengths and manage our weaknesses. I can thoroughly recommend Jenny as a coach to any creative, wanting to get more focus back into their art practice." Hilary Dron, Artist
"I have recently worked with Jenny over two sessions and found her approach to coaching beneficial to my business. Very approachable and with a lovely, friendly manner, Jenny worked with me to develop a plan. Without putting words into my mouth, we exchanged lots of ideas and had some searching discussions about what I wanted to do and what I needed to do to get there.The questioning particularly challenged me, which was good. Jenny was prepared to ask open-ended questions and give me the thinking time to formulate my answers before asking again to enable me to dig deeper into the ideas and make any plans/action which followed more robust. Its still early days but I have already achieved a number of tasks from my new plan and have enjoyed the feelings of achievement that his has brought." E.P. Photographer, Cumbria
"Coaching removed all of these layers of doubts and overwhelm that had weighed me down. I had artist's block and felt that the business side was just this huge impenetrable wall. Coaching gave me confidence, clarity and a lightness that's seen me back in the studio, the place I love best, doing what I love best. On the business side of things, that wall is down and I'm racing through a huge task list on my shiny new action plan! I absolutely recommend coaching with Jenny." H.H. Artist, Cumbria
"A rare opportunity in a hectic schedule to get in touch with personal & professional plans that have been on the back boiler for far too long. A chance to give them some air play, attention and potentially action!" D.C. Artist & Workshop Facilitator, Cumbria
"Sometimes it's easy to get bogged down in your own thoughts and not be able to work out the first steps towards a goal. Jenny's coaching really helped me focus on small steps that will help me progress both with my art practice and wider career." L.H. Artist, Carlisle
"It's so hard to know where to start when you feel you've completely lost your creative mojo. Artists block is a horrible thing to be in the midst of, and what little things I was creating all felt lacklustre and pointless. There are plenty of life coaches out there, but rarely one who specifically works with artists, and in fact is an artist herself, so when I came across Jenny's artists coaching sessions, I immediately gave it a try. When I first spoke to Jenny there was no doubt I was in a creative funk. It seemed a little odd at first to be chatting to a random stranger about how stuck I was feeling, but the direction she took the conversation in was thought provoking, reassuring, and perhaps most importantly motivational.
Talking to a fellow creative with a fresh perspective and who didn't know me personally was actually a very refreshing experience. Ideas were soon flowing and Jenny has the balance of posing the right questions along with gentle suggestions just right. Since our phone sessions I have begun to relax about what I am producing and I'm trusting the process a little more rather than getting fixated on the end result (something I often tell the children I work with to do but needed reminding of myself). I have produced more work in the couple of weeks since our coaching sessions than I have all year, and would highly recommend her to anyone experiencing a creative drought." M.B. Artist & Creative Biz Owner, Bolton

Are you looking in the right direction?
Hi James
I congratulate you on your research however I believe you are researching the wrong...area. You have great understanding of the history of Christianity but I urge you to look deeper to actually find out the true fact of religion.
1st question: Do you actually believe the bible to be the word of God?
2nd question. Do you believe Jesus as the Son of God or God himself?
3rd question. What is religion?
If you can give me concrete answers to these I will convert to christianity as soon as you do so!
Peace be upon you.

It's easy to deconvert to atheism because they are disappointed, hurt or because they have lost their faith due to God making sense. It's harder to suddenly make a rational atheists convert to Christianity, which is faith-based. How does it happen?

Christians, why are you not Muslim?I have already spoken to many Muslims about why they are not christian so now I wish to hear the other view. So far it seems Christians don't know much about Islam and when they learn about it along with the faults of christianity then they often convert; however,...

Fourth graders George Beard (Kevin Hart) and Harold Hutchins (Thomas Middleditch) have been inseparable since they first met in kindergarten and realized they shared a similar sense of humor. The best friends spend much of their free time in their treehouse creating issues of their original comic book, Captain Underpants. They make a perfect team—while George writes the stories, Harold does the illustrations. The hero of their stories is an alien from another planet whose origin story is not unlike that of Superman…if Superman walked around in his tighty-whities and Clark Kent had been raised by dolphins.
George and Harold are constantly pulling pranks at school, so much so that they have reserved seats outside the office of angry principal Mr. Krupp (Ed Helms). The problem for Mr. Krupp is that he never has any hard evidence to prove that the boys are responsible for their mayhem, and must let them go. That is until one fateful day when he catches George and Harold in the act on video, and alerts the boys that he will be assigning them to different classrooms. This is devastating news, and with the fate of their friendship on the line, George and Harold start hatching some plans to obtain and destroy the video evidence. However, in the process they end up hypnotizing their principal, making him believe he is the real-life Captain Underpants.
At first the boys are thrilled and amused by their ability to make their awful principal do whatever they want. However, Captain Underpants is a bit of a dimwit, and while undercover as the principal, he hires the evil Professor Poopypants (Nick Kroll) as the school's new science teacher. Now the trio must find a way to stop the mad professor before he can unleash his evil plan to wipe out children's ability to laugh, first from all of those at Jerome Horwitz Elementary, and then from all the children in the world.
Before seeing this film, I was familiar with the fact that there was a series of Captain Underpants children's books, but I didn't know anything about the story or the premise. This film had me grinning from ear-to-ear throughout. While the film has a lot of cheap, childish potty humor, it is also a very witty, well-written story centered around two fun characters with an infectiously upbeat, wide-eyed attitude and buddy relationship. George and Harold's bromance reminded me of what Gus and Shawn in Psych or Turk and J.D. in Scrubs would have been like if those characters had met in kindergarten. The two boys are inseparable, and nothing seems to phase them. They constantly have smiles on their faces, and if something doesn't go their way, they always seem to have a backup prank/plan to save the day. The character of Captain Underpants is also amusing to watch—he believes he has all these superpowers that can save the day, but he's really just this dimwitted moron who can't do much of anything…though that doesn't seem to affect his upbeat attitude and confidence level. Other entertaining supporting characters include nerdy tattletale Melvin (Jordan Peele), who doesn't understand George and Harold's sense of humor, and lunch lady Edith (Kristen Schaal), who's smitten with Mr. Krupp.
The film is primarily told from George and Harold's point of view, and the boys often break the fourth wall, talking directly to the camera, giving a bit of a Ferris Bueller-like quality to it, especially since the crux of the story is about these pranksters getting one over on the evil principal who's trying to prove they are guilty. The film has this really whimsical animation style, which is a bit reminiscent of a 1930s Little Lulu or Steamboat Willie feel mixed with a modern 3D look. The film also utilizes other animation styles when showing the boys' comic books come to life, animating a big action sequence the boys are recounting, and in a dream sequence when George and Harold are sock puppets. There are also these really fun musical moments that pop up throughout the film—sometimes it's just a music montage while other times characters break into song.
The visual and aural presentation of this Blu-ray are fantastic. The picture is flawless—colors are rich and vibrant, and there are no signs of grain or artifacts, just a crisp, clear, perfect picture. I watched the Blu-ray and am curious as to how the 4K UHD release could possibly look any better. The audio track is also quite impressive, making great use of the stereo and surround channels to bring the on-screen action to life in your living room. This was especially noticeable when the boys are repeatedly testing Mr. Krupp's transformation back and forth into Captain Underpants, and again later in the film's big final face-off with Professor Poopypants. Both the Blu-ray and the DVD disc contain the same set of bonus features, over 30 minutes of promotional featurettes, interviews, deleted scenes, music videos and photo galleries. Most of these features feel more like fluff/ads for the film rather than quality behind-the-scenes bonus material, but it was nice to see something included. I enjoyed the deleted scenes the most, but wish there had been some longer interviews or commentary with the cast and/or the original author of the books.
While I didn't notice anything in particular that seemed to be geared towards 3D, I really wish Dreamworks/Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment had released a 3D Blu-ray version of this film so that folks like me who love 3D could have seen the film how it played out in its original theatrical format. Unfortunately, like what happened previously with Trolls, it doesn't look like there is a 3D release of this title anywhere in the world.
The Blu-ray and DVD discs come packed in standard HD keepcase, which contains an insert with a code to redeem for a digital copy of the film. While my review copy didn't include it, for a limited time, most retail copies of the Blu-ray should also include a cardboard slipcover and a wearable cape.

I didn't know much about Captain Underpants going into this film, but I thoroughly enjoyed it—the characters, the humor, the story, the animation style, the music and all. The bromance between George and Harold is so much fun and their always-upbeat attitude and humor is infectious. The Blu-ray presentation looks and sounds amazing, and the discs contain a small assortment of bonus features as well as a digital copy of the film. I can't recommend this film highly enough—I really hope this is just the first epic adventure with many more to come!

Nutritionist Melissa Brunetti, who specialises in the connection between food and mood, explained this association to Quartz.
"Nutrients are needed to fuel our brain. If we're not getting the nutrients in through diet, then we don't have the nutrients to formulate our neurotransmitters, our neurochemicals, or regulate our blood sugar or hormones."
"Food can have huge impact on people's mental health."
And Brunetti says there's one particular breakfast that can ensure you're starting your day with the nutrients you need for better mental health: eggs with sprouted-grain toast and smashed avocado.
This simple combination contains amino acids, omega-3, fibre, vitamin D and, most importantly, fatty acids.
"Our brain is about 60% fat and we need to get our fat from a dietary source. Avocado is rich in tryptophan, which is a pre-cursor to serotonin, which is our feel-good chemical. It also has folate and Omega 3 in it."
While food is certainly not suggested as a replacement for therapy and drug treatments, it's been proven to compliment these interventions.
If you or someone you know needs help, you can speak confidentially to a trained counsellor 24 hours a day at headspace.org.au or Kids Helpline: 1800 55 1800.

In this set of material, the reading passage suggests three main purposes of the making of carved stone balls. However, the lecturer finds all of this idea dubious and skeptical and unlikely to happen and refutes them all.
First of all, the reading passage claims that carved stone balls were used as weapons in hunting or fighting because some of them have holes and grooves on their surfaces. On the contrary, the professor refutes this idea by explaining that if the balls were used as weapon, there would be cracked and had signs of damage. But the the surfaces of balls were very well preserved. Hence, this idea cannot be a logical solution.
Furthermore, the reading passage posses that the carved stone balls might be used as a part of primitive system of weights and measures as they all have the same size. Conversely, the professor opposites this idea by explaining that the balls were have the same size, but made from different materials with different densities. So, they may have the same size, however, their weights were completely different. Therefore, this idea cannot solve the problem.
Finally, it was mentioned in the reading passage that one of the promising proposes of the carved stone balls that they were served a social purposes as in contrast to a practical or utiliarian one, as the balls were have elaborated designs and they might marked the important social status of their owners. In contrast, the professor refutes this point by saying that carved stone balls were very simple and it was improbable to be the marked sights of famous people. In addition, it is known that the regarded people were buried with their objects. But none of the balls were found in the graves with the bodies. Thus, this idea will not assist the real purpose.

Today I read several different things about orphans. And today it has rocked my world a little more than normal. Maybe that's because it's that time of the month. Maybe it's because God continues to bid me venture out of my comfort zone. But today, my thoughts are overwhelming.
Did you know that the bible calls the church to care for the orphans yet there is said to be twice as many churches in America as there are orphans.
I read about the wake-up that is occuring in some churches - one small town of 300 has adopted 130 children. Local churches in Colorado are working to reduce the number of kids in the system to zero. I think those efforts are amazing. But then I struggle as I sit in judgement on my own church family. What are we doing? I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they're supporting the oppressed and the orphans financially. Maybe they're praying for those orphans. All I know is that I see a church full of people and children and only one of them is adopted. Am I really wanting to pass judgement? No! Am I wanting to know how to encourage them to open their eyes to the need both locally and internationally? Yes.
This was one post I read today that grabbed at my heart:
http://www.owlhaven.net/2010/10/07/james-127-and-the-church/. I love how the speaker talked about Pharoah's daughter: maybe she knew what her dad was doing and went to save one of the babies in the basket. And since I can't manage to spit out what I want to say, I'm just going to copy Mary's text below so you can read her post in part:
And then, after telling his story, Robert Gelinas had a question for us: How do you live in America, a country with a half a million children in foster care, and not do something?
He said, maybe Pharaoh's daughter didn't just go to the Nile for a bath? Maybe she knew what her daddy was doing to all those boy babies. Maybe she went to save one. Maybe she wanted her life to make a difference. She couldn't save all the baskets floating by. But she could save one.
These days baskets are still going down the river in the U.S. foster care system. Most of them are safe for now. But they're floating down the river, growing up, 19,000 of them aging out of the system every year without ever getting chosen by someone. Without ever having a family to call their own.
We the Church are letting those baskets go right on by. Psalm 68 says God is the Father to the fatherless, placing the lonely into families. He claims them all.
If He is the father to the fatherless, who is His bride?
The church is. We are. We are to be the mothers of these children. We can't let those baskets keep going by us. If only the church would come together.
God has been waking up the body of Christ. Churches all over are getting more serious about caring for orphans. Possom Trot, TX is a town of 300. Pastor Martin's wife said there are kids in foster care. We should do something about it. He said, we can't. She said, I know we 'can't' but it's the right thing to do. He knew she was right and he told the need to his church. There are fifty families in his whole church and they took the message to heart. In that little church they adopted and fostered 130 kids.
The bride of Christ is waking up.
Six years ago Robert Gelinas took a challenge to the 1500 churches in the Denver area. At that time there were 875 kids legally free to be adopted in the Colorado foster care system. He challenged the Denver churches to commit to adopt 10% of those kids. So began Project 1:27.
Money should never get in the way of getting families for kids. When we say we can't afford adoption, we're saying the Father won't provide for the fatherless, that He's a deadbeat dad. Untrue. Our daddy is a really good daddy.
Project 1:27 set out to find families for orphans. Families would pay no more than the $50 it cost to fill out the application. For every one family willing to adopt, 3-5 other families were needed to come around that family and help out.
Right away amazing things began to happen. One man said he couldn't adopt, but he pledged to buy bunk beds for every family that did. Another man finished basements at cost. Another person started college funds. You see, not everyone can adopt. But everyone can help. Everyone can be part of the solution. That is the body of Christ in action.
Since 1:27 started, 136 children have been adopted. 71 children have been placed in families working towards finalization. There are currently 163 more families lined up applying to be part of this program.
The number of kids in foster care in Colorado right now? 365.
The eventual goal? Zero.
They are well on their way.

WONDERFUL post!!! WAKE UP BRIDE OF CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is our Dad a deadbeat Dad? No! He's the Lord of all and loves His creation, including the orphans... do I trust him to provide? I don't like having to go through the process for adoption or for fostering. I know a family who's basically fostering two kids that haven't gone through the system... they're just obeying God's call to care. I'm encouraged by that and want to be open to that too. But I also need to be willing to go through the paperwork if that's necessary.

I remember hearing this story on Focus on the Family last year. Really rocked my world, too.

Yeah...That's about right.
A young man walks into a café carrying a shotgun and bucket full of horse manure. He sidles up to the counter and orders a coffee. A couple of minutes later the waiter serves him his brew.
He downs the hot coffee in one gulp, throws the manure in the air and blasts it with his shotgun. He looks around at the shocked faces in the café, smiles and walks out.
The next day he returns, again carrying the bucket of manure and a shotgun. He walks up to the counter and orders a coffee.
"No way, big guy." The waiter informs him. "We are still cleaning up the mess you made in here yesterday. What the hell was that all about anyway?"
"Duh!!! I am training for a management position." The young man shrugs.
"You know: I come in, drink some coffee, shoot the shit, create a big mess for others to clean up and then disappear for the rest for the rest of the day."

Dame's Rocket, Sweet Rocket, or Dame's Violet (Hesperis matronalis) is an attractive, but invasive plant. A common garden flower introduced to America from Europe in colonial times, it is invading Wisconsin woodlands and has the potential to become ecologically devastating to native plant species. This weed in the mustard family has many similarities with garlic mustard, a related plant that has inundated woodlands in southern and eastern Wisconsin in recent years.
Dame's rocket has been around Wisconsin for many years, but seems to be showing up in more and more sites all the time. It is now at a relatively early stage of encroachment. In Wisconsin it is listed as a "restricted invasive plant."
This old-fashioned, cottage garden perennial hardy to zone 3 produces rounded flower clusters similar to stock that are very fragrant at night. The plant reaches 3-4 feet tall and has showy flowers that last for several weeks. Dame's rocket does best in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.
It is a short-lived perennial, but a prolific self-seeder that has escaped cultivation and adapted throughout most of the United States. In most areas it is more often seen along roadsides than in gardens. Outside of gardens, it is found along roadsides, woodland edges, and is increasingly moving into good quality forests where it can shade out native wildflowers.
Dame's rocket is is very noticeable as it is flowering from mid-May to mid-June. The sweet-scented flowers range from white to several shades of pink and purple and grow in terminal racemes (each flower has its own little stalk branching off the main stem). Long, narrow seed pods with many seeds each are produced from each flower spike, with seeds on the lowest pods
maturing before flowering is done. Ground-foraging birds do eat the seeds, but not enough of them to reduce the plants' population. The plant and flowers are edible, but fairly bitter.
This plant is often confused with taller varieties of phlox, but it can be easily distinguished by counting the petals on the flowers. Dame's rocket has four petals on each flower, while phlox has five petals. Leaf arrangement is also different on the two plants; Dame's rocket has lanceolate, toothed leaves that grow alternately along the stems, while phlox has smooth-edged, opposite leaves.
Dame's rocket is still recommended and sold occasionally by seed companies and nurseries – often listed as deer resistant – and may be found in "wildflower" seed mixes. Because it can spread rapidly, you should think twice about planting it in your garden. Some alternatives to try instead include blue columbine (Aquilegia caerulea), native bee balm (Monarda fistulosa menthaefolia), woodland phlox (Phlox divaricata) or native harebells (Campanula rotundifolia).
As with garlic mustard, the Wisconsin DNR is looking for help from gardeners, hikers and other people who frequent parks and other wild areas to help control the spread of this exotic species. People can help prevent the spread of this invasive plant by pulling Dame's rocket plants from the ground, being sure to get the roots to prevent resprouting. As seeds remain in the soil for many years, the control work should be repeated each year.
For those gardeners who are reluctant to remove the plants from their yards, spread can be reduced by removing the flower stalk when the flowers begin fading. Remove and destroy all seed pods each year to prevent spread into adjacent areas. Note that composting the plants or flower stalks may not kill the seeds.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Democratic congressional leaders are seeking to avert a partial government shutdown amid a sharp dispute over Trump's border wall and a lengthy to-do list that includes a major farm bill and a formal rebuke of Saudi Arabia for the slaying of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Trump is set to confer Tuesday at the White House with House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer ahead of a Dec. 21 deadline to shut down a range of government agencies.
"Republicans still control the House, the Senate and the White House, and they have the power to keep government open," Pelosi and Schumer said in a joint statement Monday.
"Our country cannot afford a Trump Shutdown," the Democrats said, adding that Trump "knows full well that his wall proposal does not have the votes to pass the House and Senate and should not be an obstacle to a bipartisan agreement."
Republican congressional leaders have repeatedly said it's up to Trump to cut a deal with Democrats, an acknowledgment of their own inability to produce spending bills with Republican votes alone.
That gives Democrats some momentum heading into the closed-door talks, which also could veer into Trump's request for emergency funding for deadly wildfires in California and a Republican-sponsored bill to extend expiring tax breaks and delay some health care taxes.
Before lawmakers adjourn for the year they also may consider a bipartisan criminal justice reform bill, a bill to protect special counsel Robert Mueller and a plan to overhaul the system for handling sexual harassment complaints on Capitol Hill.
By far the biggest unresolved issue is the border wall. Trump wants the next funding package to include at least $5 billion for it, an idea Democrats have flatly rejected.
Pelosi and Schumer have urged Trump to support a bill that includes a half-dozen government funding bills largely agreed upon by lawmakers, along with a separate measure that funds the Department of Homeland Security at current levels through Sept. 30. The homeland bill includes about $1.3 billion for fencing and other security measures at the border.
If Trump does not agree to that, Democrats will likely urge a continuing resolution that funds all the remaining appropriations bills at current levels through Sept. 30, an aide said. The aide was not authorized to discuss strategy by name and requested anonymity.
Trump said Friday that Congress should provide all the money he wants for the wall and called illegal immigration a "threat to the well-being of every American community."
At an appearance in Kansas City, Missouri, Trump accused Democrats of playing a political game and said it was one he ultimately would win.
"I actually think the politics of what they're doing is very bad for them," Trump said of Democrats. "We're going to very soon find out. Maybe I'm not right. But usually I'm right."
Pelosi, who is seeking to become House speaker in January, said she and many other Democrats consider the wall "immoral, ineffective and expensive" and noted that Trump promised during the 2016 campaign that Mexico would pay for the wall, an idea Mexico has repeatedly rejected.
Protecting borders "is a responsibility we honor, but we do so by honoring our values as well," Pelosi said last week.
Schumer said Democrats want to work with Trump to avert a shutdown, but said money for border security should not include the concrete wall Trump has envisioned. Instead, the money should be used for fencing and technology that experts say is appropriate, Schumer said.
"We do not want to let a Trump temper tantrum govern our policies or cause the shutdown of a government, which everyone on both sides of the aisle knows is the wrong idea," Schumer said. If Trump "wants to shut down the government over Christmas over the wall, that's his decision," he said.
Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, said Trump was all that stands between fully funding the government and a shutdown.
"Time and again, President Trump has used the government of the American people as a bargaining chip for his fabricated solution to his manufactured crisis," Leahy said Monday in a Senate speech.
Trump "wants to score a made-for-reality-TV moment and he doesn't care how many hardworking Americans will suffer for it," Leahy said. "This is not about border security. This is about politics, pure and simple."
But House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., said Democrats were the ones playing politics.
Trump "wants to secure the border. He got elected president on that platform," Scalise told Fox News Channel.
If there's a better way to secure the border than the $5 billion plan Trump has laid out, Democrats "need to come with an alternative," Scalise said Monday. "They can't come and say they want to shut the government down for no reason because they don't want border security. They'll lose that argument with the American people."
Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said Monday he does not believe Trump or Democrats want to shut the government down.
"When I was with him the indication was he didn't want to shut the government down, but he did want his wall," Shelby said.
AP Congressional Correspondent Lisa Mascaro contributed to this report.

Keeping mobile phones out of prisons has always been a problem for Englands jail warders.
A common method, used by many cons, is to stuff one up their backside during a visit.
Recently, by accident, an amazingly inventive method of hiding a mobile phone was found. A convict admitted to hospital with groin pains was found to have a mobile phone sewn into his scrotum.
The prisoner, admitting the charge, told police how he had to put a finger up his backside to dial; he pressed his right testical to make a call and his left testical to hang-up.
It was not without it's problems, he told police, every time he got an erection the pressure on the phone caused it to dial his mother's number.
To avoid it ringing at inopportune moments it was set to vibrate only. The prisoner said that whilst this worked well when he was in his cell alone, if it rang when he couldn't answer it the continued vibration gave him an orgasm. This had happened a number of times in the prison chapel, where old lags go on a Sunday to get off the wing and get a free cup of tea. The Chaplain responded to his shouts of 'Oh Yes, Oh yes' and 'Christ I'm coming' by giving him a new bible and sending him on an Alpha course.
The phone has now been removed and he has to use the jail telephones instead.

Anemone 'Beat My Distance' LP
Limited blue coloured vinyl.
Where you go, I want be / A hole inside your head," sings Chloé Soldevila on Daffodils, the second track from Anemone's debut album Beat My Distance. The line acts as both a promise and a threat—this is music that will stick with you, that will live inside your brain, that will become a part of you forever. This is music that refuses to be ignored. Anemone is the brainchild of Soldevila, a Montreal native. Raised in the classical music tradition and formally educated in jazz music, Soldevila came to rock music late, at the tail end of high school, when she discovered krautrock mainstays like Neu! and Can. Traveling as a photographer and filmmaker throughout her early twenties, Soldevila rebelled against her strict musical upbringing, immersing herself into the psychedelic tradition in California, and punk and new wave music in France. Anemone officially began when Soldevila met Zachary Irving at a show. Around the same time, Soldevila and Miles Dupire-Gagnon met at a bar, and he introduced her to Gabriel Lambert. The musical connection was immediate, and the four began working on songs together soon after. Samuel Gemme was a friend and sound engineer who worked on their recordings, spending so much time in the studio with them that he eventually joined the band. The final lineup of Anemone was set. "The focus of the live show is to make people loose, getting them to dance, breaking people out of their shyness," says Lambert "Making people go crazier and crazier every night. Our mission was to capture that feeling on the record." The resulting album Beat My Distance is a dreamy psychedelic ride, hopping through genres and moods with exuberance. In the midst of all the swirly shoegaze guitars and krautrock beats, Anemone's songs are anchored by Soldevila's voice, always catchy and direct, powerful enough to cut through the mix and carry the song. The record has an experimental feel, but never at the expense of melody or hooks. Memory Lane is a standout track, with a wistful, melancholic song with strong beat and a power-pop feel. "I wanted to write something simple and direct," says Soldevila. "Sometimes the simplest songs can be the most powerful.

Planning is vital to ensure that you do not miss out. Professional Accountant advice should be sought many months in advance before preparing your year-end accounts. Accounting for DividendsUsing Entrepreneur Relief If you are thinking of selling your business, then using entrepreneur relief is the best way to keep profits from the sale of the business. Capital Allowance Capital Allowance is an efficient way to reduce tax for your business. The following capital assets can be claimed – machinery, equipment, fixtures & fittings and vehicles. Research and Development Relief The Research and Development Relief allows your company a relief for investing in research and development. The tax relief that can be claimed is a deduction in tax or a cash payment from HMRC. Reinvest If you sell a business asset then it is advised that you should reinvest in a new asset to delay the tax owed on this sale. The same applies when you sell a business. You should reinvest the money made from the sale into a new venture to reduce the amount owed on the original sale. Social Investment Tax Relief Tax relief for investing in social projects has increased. Investors in social projects will gain 30 percent of their investment value as a tax relief. This will hence decrease tax owed by social project investors. Apply for Business Grants Many business grants are available from many institutions and they relate to start-ups, new small businesses, help with research and development and scaling up resources. Whatever stage your business is in, there may well be a business grant available that you can take advantage of to help your company grow.


text: TV antenna signal strength is measured in noise margin (NM)(dB). Alternatively this can be caste in terms of power (dBm). NM(dB) measurements essentially tell the user how 'clean' the signal is by quantifying the amount of residual static not associated with the broadcasted program that is included in the overall signal. NM(dB) is important because a station directly across the street from your antenna could be broadcasting with inferior or damaged equipment causing your reception to appear 'snowy' and to 'flutter'. Proper measurement of NM is essential to optimise the performance of your system. This is something that The Installers TV Antennas Perth can help you with if you are considering an installation, upgrade or repair.

How to Use Color Replacement in MS Paint
Explore this Article Steps Questions & Answers Related Articles References
The wikiHow Tech Team also followed the article's instructions and validated that they work. Learn more...
This wikiHow teaches you how to use Paint's color replacement feature on a Windows computer. Microsoft Paint can't replace complex colors the way that Photoshop can, but you can use the eraser tool to replace a simple color with another color without touching the other colors in the project.
2Open Paint. Type in paint, then click Paint in the Start menu. The Paint window will open.
- If you see something called "Paint 3D", don't select it—Paint 3D is separate from Microsoft Paint.
3Open an image if necessary. While Paint's color replacement feature can't handle complex colors, you can open a simple Paint project or clip art to edit if need be:
- Click File in the top-left corner of the Paint window.
- Click Open in the drop-down menu.
- Go to the location of the image you want to open.
- Click the image.
- Click Open.
- If you aren't opening an existing file, create the Paint project you want to use before proceeding.
4Select the eyedropper tool. Click the eyedropper-shaped icon in the "Tools" section at the top of the Paint window.
5Click the color you want to replace. This will assign the color to the "Color 1" section at the top of the Paint window.
- You can zoom in to get a better view of the color by clicking + in the bottom-right corner of the window.
6Select the eyedropper tool again. Click its icon in the "Tools" section to do so.
- Skip this step if the color you want to replace the first color with isn't on the canvas.
7Right-click the color you want to use to replace the first color. This will add it to the "Color 2" box, signifying that the "Color 1" box's color will be replaced with the "Color 2" box's color.
- If you skipped the last step, you'll instead click the Color 2 box at the top of the page and then click the color you want to use from the palette at the top of the window.
8Select the eraser tool. Click the pink, eraser-shaped icon in the "Tools" section.
9Right-click and drag across the color you want to replace. This will cause the "Color 2" box's color to replace the "Color 1" box's color without altering any of the other colors on the canvas.
- Do not use the left mouse button for this step. Doing so will cause the eraser tool to erase anything you drag it across instead of just erasing the color you selected as the one to replace.
Community Q&A
QuestionI don't even get a yellow circle! What else can I try?Community AnswerIf you're on Windows 7+ the circle doesn't appear, but the cursor changes to a small square.
QuestionHow do I return the page to normal once I am on the black screen?Community AnswerOn the top left corner, you will see two arrows. Select the one that's blue, but furthest to the left or press Ctrl-z.
QuestionIt says to drag the mouse while holding right click. But I'm using a laptop, I can't do that! What do I do?Community AnswerIf you have a two-button touch pad, use one hand to right click and one hand to drag.
QuestionWhen I click the eraser tool with color 1 set to the color I want removed, the little box doesn't turn the color (number 1 color). What can I do?Wade WillsonCommunity AnswerThe little box is not supposed to turn to color 1. It is supposed to turn to color 2.
QuestionIs there any way to replace all of a certain color with another one?Community AnswerUse the bucket tool; it replaces all of a certain color that's not blocked off.
QuestionFollowing these instructions, the eraser seems to erase every color indiscriminately. What am I missing?Community AnswerYou are probably holding the left mouse button down while erasing, rather than the right mouse button.
QuestionI couldn't replace the colors in MS Paint, though I followed the steps. What do I do?Community AnswerIt depends on if you've closed and saved it before opening it back up to do that. Make sure to save and close, then check back.
What do I do if right clicking doesn't replace the color?
What do I do if clicking the pixel when I try this only colors in that pixel when I click to select the color to be replaced?
- Make sure you're using the eyedropper to select the first color. Failing to do so may cause the eraser to apply your "Color 2" color to everything it touches.
- Sometimes, a colored outline will be left surrounding an object for which you replaced the color. You will have to get rid of this outline manually.
- These steps will only work for MS Paint versions 6.1 and higher.[1]
