text: My work is driven by process, research, and experimentation. I create abstract narratives of unseen, hidden spaces, and am drawn to giving voice to inanimate and contra-personified object-beings. Often, I use textile fibers as reference to depict elements of the interior human body. Through drawing, prints, and sculptures, I create handcrafted nets that portray hidden visceras, bones exploding with the memories of their vibrations, and muscles wrapped on spools for use as specimens. The "gore" exhibited in my work is ambiguous and uses muted, sinewy colors. White prevails as binding connective tissues. Bubble gum pinks stand in for forbidden interior softness. Often abstracted and teased apart, I create fantastical landscapes that depict a low-fi sci-fi world of shifting internal bodily bondage. Dehumanizing the human form allows the potential to reconstruct its narrative through a set of feminist, material-centric ideals. My work guesses at the smallest of these reorganizations, examining the recontextualization of microscopic fibers of tissues. These investigations invoke a materialism of the body through familiar, yet unexpected substance.

Toxic Cosmetic Chemicals You Need To Avoid
Our skin and bodies are delicate and balanced ecosystems in their own right. Everything we put in and on our bodies affects us in some way. That's why it's important that the chemicals and products we apply to ourselves are working to help us rather than harm us. And with the cosmetics industry, it is especially important to pay attention to the ingredients and labels. Since there are many harmful chemicals that can affect our bodies, you should make yourself aware of what's in the bottle before you put it on your skin or in your hair. Here are some chemicals that are regularly used in cosmetic products, and what they can do to your body.
1. Lead
While lead has long been used for its many beneficial properties, the entire world has also been spending decades trying to rid itself of the many health concerns that lead brings with it. Our pipes, for example, have been slowly replaced in order to stop the harmful effects that lead can have on the body. But lead is still a regular ingredient in many cosmetics. Lead is particularly dangerous to our eyes, since our thin eyelids do little to protect us from lead's effects, which can include anaemia, cancer, and neurological diseases. Be sure to double check that all of your cosmetics, and plumbing, are lead-free.
2. Parfum
In many parts of the Western world, perfumes are not required to list the ingredients that go into the fragrance of their products. So if it's in there primarily for its smell, it may not be listed on the label. These many different ingredients can come from a range of sources, many of which are surprising, but almost all of them are known allergens. If you have allergies, you need to watch out for fragrances, since many of them could cause allergic reactions and asthma attacks. Some of these parfums are even potential carcinogens.
3. Siloxanes
Ingredients ending in "-siloxane" or "-methicone" are known as siloxanes. This wide variety of products have many benefits for cosmetics' companies, namely that they're cheap and easily manufactured chemical compounds that can give cosmetics properties that soften, smooth and moisten. But these products are also suspected endocrine inhibitors and may effect reproductive systems.
The chemicals present in many cosmetic products can be very harmful to our delicate bodies, upsetting the natural balance in the name of cheap and effective products. To avoid these chemicals, you have to know what's going into the products you use and always remember to stick with 100% all natural products. Be aware that many of these chemicals aren't listed here, but the above three are commonly found in a wide variety of cosmetics. Of course, the best idea is to use products that don't try to hide what's inside them. It's the easiest way to know what you're getting.

Was Jesus a whistleblower too?23/02/2017
On Jan 24th, 2017 the Irish Government established a commission of inquiry into the origin of false allegations of sexual abuse against the Garda whistleblower, Maurice McCabe. This is the latest in a long series of deeply depressing scandals involving all of the institutions once respected in Ireland, including the Catholic Church. Sean O'Conaill asks why integrity seems to be so rare, and how we are to find it.
Nothing in Ireland has been as dispiriting in recent decades as non-stop revelations of misuse of power and even of serious corruption in high places. All major institutions of church and civil society have been implicated. Not even the major beneficiary of these scandals, the media, have been exempt.
We have long known that all power tends to be abused, but Irish revelations of abuses of power have become almost epidemic in the lifetime of everyone born before 1990 – so much so that we can come to wonder, like Diogenes, whether an honest individual can any longer be found in high places. That whistleblowers – those who shout 'stop' to abuses of power – still do surface is a bright light in the darkness, but Garda Maurice McCabe's experience of malicious 'blowback', of the most damaging of false allegations and even possibly of high-level 'fitting up', is truly frightening. Everyone who might still be called upon to be a whistleblower in Ireland knows now what could happen to themselves in the very worst case.
The standard secular solution to this problem of abuse of power is to divide and limit power by making it always subject to accountability. Strictly applied this means that everyone exercising power must be ready to account for their actions to someone else, and ready to resign or be sacked if found wanting. Yet here again there is huge depression in Ireland over apparent mass immunity from the accountability principle. The guiltiest individuals will take great pains to hide their tracks, while tribunals of inquiry are always costly and tend to grant immunity to witnesses in exchange for testimony. This then leads to a dispiriting popular verdict on all of Ireland's educated elites: 'those people always look out for one another'. In reviewing the Garda McCabe case, and an earlier Garda precedent, the 'Kerry Babies' case of 1984, the historian Diarmaid Ferriter concluded recently that the McCabe commission may unveil the truth of what happened – but (he finished) 'don't expect justice'. There is a real danger of the total victory of cynicism in Irish society – even a loss of faith in human nature itself.
Secularism has never stemmed the human desire for privilege
No Irish secularising intellectual has yet pointed out that this near-despair directly challenges the basic optimism of the secular Enlightenment – the belief that human nature, freed by science-based 'reason' from religious faith, can build Utopia. Mass rational education alone, it was argued by some in the 1700s, would give everyone an honest livelihood, put an end to all crime and social hierarchy – and create a society at perfect peace. That same faith in reason, to the exclusion of any faith in God, still undergirds the Irish secularising establishment today. I haven't yet seen any persuasive rationalist explanation of the complete failure of that optimistic 18th century prophecy.
What the secular Enlightenment 'got wrong', it seems to me, was to suppose that, freed from 'faith' by 'reason', everyone – with just enough education – would become heroically virtuous. Those secularising evangelists did not see how dependent we are on others to shape even our desires for wealth and status. They hugely overestimated the capacity of any of us to stand freely apart from the human context in which we find ourselves. That we are always hugely dependent upon peer groups for self-esteem and self-fulfillment – and even for a sense of personal security and safety – was overlooked. That mass education would produce not equality but a sense of entitlement to privilege among the most successful, was not foreseen.
If we abandon all faith that there can be any higher power than this 'society', we may then, as individuals, be totally bereft of support in the face of 'peer pressure' – the pressure simply to conform to the norms of the group we aspire to belong to. Secular egalitarianism has never found a cure for the human desire for social superiority, but still cannot acknowledge this failure.
Catholic hierarchy was also a corruptive force in Ireland
Far from advocating here a restoration of the power of 'the church' as it was before 1992, I would argue instead that the Catholic clerical establishment in Ireland was also oblivious of its own power to corrupt individuals – especially by exaggerating the individual Catholic's obligation to defer to higher clerical authority in matters of moral judgement, as a matter of faith. Why else would no cleric – and no strong lay voice – have cried 'shame' when defenceless young women were imprisoned and shamed by the Magdalen system? Why else would whistleblowers have been so scarce among the religious orders that ran the institutions for helpless children indicted in the Ryan report of 2005? Why else would Bishop Jim Moriarty have been the sole bishop to confess serious personal failure in the handling of clerical abuse in the Dublin archdiocese, following the Murphy report of 2009? And why else would Dublin Gardai in some instances have failed to investigate credible allegations of criminal clerical abuse, at the request of a bishop?
The 'prevailing culture' that Bishop Moriarty agreed he had failed to challenge in Dublin was precisely analogous to the culture of toleration by the Gardai of the abuses that Maurice McCabe reported, while the harm caused to countless children by clerical failure was far greater than the harm caused by Garda inconsistency in the awarding of motoring penalty points. We must never forget that the Irish clerical establishment left it to outraged Catholic families to blow the whistle on the fact of – and the deadly dangers of – clerical sexual abuse of children.
This blindness, to the harm caused to the church – the people of God – by the equation of faith with unquestioning obedience to clerical authority, continues to this day. And this in turn is surely the reason that the full contemporary significance of the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth is neither seen nor preached by our clergy, in the context of the growing crisis of hope in Irish civic society. Never can it be seen or said (at least in my experience) that in Gethsemane Jesus was resisting precisely that fear of 'the world' – the threat of 'blowback' from our always hierarchical human power systems – that confronts every genuine whistleblower today.
Instead it is (or at least it was until recently) far more typical of clergy to contrast 'the world' with 'the church', to characterise 'the world' as at best 'dangerous' and at worst 'profane' while 'the church' – always to be equated with clergy – was to be seen always as 'holy' and unquestionable. 'Worldliness' got translated, mistakenly, as merely getting 'caught up' in the pleasures and distractions of the 'material world', while Jesus and his clergy could necessarily have their minds only on 'heavenly things'. In accepting crucifixion Jesus was merely atoning for human historical sin at his Father's request, not setting an inspiring example of courage and integrity for all of us to try to emulate.
Nothing could be better calculated to make the story of the crucifixion totally incomprehensible to the modern mind – and to make the Catholic sacramental system irrelevant to the crisis of hope that afflicts Ireland today.
Jesus the abused whistleblower
That religious system that Jesus opposed was also abusive of power. It excluded the poorest from a sense of God's compassion, by imposing money barriers to divine mercy. It shut the Temple door on all of the 'unclean', including lepers and menstruating women. What if we were to see Jesus in Gethsemane as an exemplary whistleblower – awaiting the most excruciating humiliation for his rejection of that oppressive religious system? What if we were to see him as standing in solidarity with all who were and still are excluded and oppressed – including the church's own victims? What if we were to see him at the side of Garda Maurice McCabe – and at the side of the falsely accused priest as well as the clerical abuse survivor – when their trials are at their worst?
'In the world you will have tribulation, but be courageous. I have overcome the world.' (John 16: 33). What if we could believe that here Jesus is speaking precisely to this time in Ireland today – and speaking also for the power of belief in a transcendent reality to give us the integrity we so desperately need, the grace to withstand the world – i.e. 'the prevailing culture' of our own peer group's abuses, whatever those may be – in church or business, bank or civil service, TV studio or political party, policing unit or even Olympic sport?
And what if Jesus' strength – the grace of integrity – is also the grace on offer in the Eucharist – for those who can believe these things? Those given charge of the Eucharist have surely a special obligation to discover its relationship to the supreme moral problem of our time – the problem of maintaining integrity in the face of corrupt power. That it could have no such relationship is unthinkable. It is far more likely that integrity and holiness are one and the same.

Oh, I'm going to have to read this one again because I think I may hear someone railing against the ruling elite. It's about time.
I wonder if in a completely historical context, Jesus and his band of merry-men could have been advocating for a "money-free" society during a time when the elite were responsible for the offences against their own and also the militarisation in response to a seemingly growing threat.
Something tells me that Judas Iscariot and the "Sicarii" were hired by Rome to inflict violence on one and all to create the environment needed for militarisation and taxation to flourish.
It reminds me of today where Syria is at war yet in Golan Heights, LaFarge is paying taxes to ISIS so that they can keep operations up to par. It's amazing what industrialisation can make happen.
The bible is the most anti-militaristic, anti-currency book that exists, that's for sure.
Incisive and powerfully challenging both 'them' and'us'.
I'll be back.
Second to my point above which is fiction at best although upon closer inspection, there could be an underlying truth, I'd like to also advise that if any of you prescribe to the theory of mimetic desire and truly know how it is perpetuated (keeping in mind Francis's current orders to one and all under the Catholic umbrella), the only way to push through its negative impact onto a positive one will be through a forced ascendance of a morally superior character (individual) sadly. The alternative options do not work as sad as that is to say.
A like story different time but equally important. We just have to wait word on him walking on water and healing the sick.
In the meantime, I recommend some light reading on "generative anthropology" to obtain a clearer insight on mimetic desire and how it is a little more complicated than we think it is. There is a reason why we sit back in awe over its creation.
Mark Ruffalo quoting from the Hopi Nation…sound familiar.
'… forced ascendance of a morally superior character …'
a) A resort to force nullifies immediately any claim to moral superiority.
b) It also models the use of force, perpetuating the mimetic cycle of violence.
I fear you haven't yet fully understood mimetic theory, Lloyd Allan. There is no violent way of applying it to the abuse of power. That's why Jesus could not do that, and why he is an unambiguous model of moral superiority confronting injustice. That is the challenge, I fear. There are no superhero shortcuts.
Well, in your mind, there are no super-hero shortcuts but everyone looks for the super-hero Sean. I understand mimetic desire to be a component of our behaviour (and a positive one when the super-hero comes to power which is never done by the elite relinquishing control – it is forced upon them by a burgeoning group of supporters).
What makes mimetic desire negative Sean?
Did Girard see it as negative? Who is talking about a violent way of applying it to the abuse of power? When I say that if 100,000 people (priest or lay) got behind "an ideal" that was sound strategy for the way forward and wanted to perpetuate this model, because they would be acting mimetically, this is now a negative? Is that what you mean?
There is such thing as peaceful eviction. His story persists because he became the superhero in the story of an attempt at peaceful eviction which evidently failed because his followers misconstrued what it was logistically that he was asking people to do.
My belief is that his work involved the advocacy of a money-free society. If it is not, that superhero who might present himself today, will surely be an advocate for one, and if he isn't, then he has no idea what the future holds for mankind.
I might not ascribe to the understanding of mimetic theory being a "utopia in waiting" for those who are able to mentally resist the urge to mime – my understanding of it relates to actions, not sentiments. It is not defeated – it is an intrinsic part of our DNA, and without a hero who is willing to peacefully evict the current model (in strategy and action), there is no toppling the current model.
"A resort to force nullifies immediately any claim to moral superiority" which is true on the outside but any character who might be morally superior, is not going to bite and kick his way to the top of the pyramid. You are going to have to hoist him there with a whole boatload of people – if anyone claims to walk on water and bridge that gap, he'd be more inclined to be atop a mountain as a hermit as the poster child for a "new tomorrow". That I guarantee – so your theory is correct but its application to a real world scenario and not a "mental breakthrough" is completely changed. It's the difference between "illumination" and cutting through the real world "simulation" which presents two completely different scenarios.
Excellent article, Sean, and very topical.
Lot of food for thought in it but it seems to me that this is a good example of the sort of contemporaneous issue we need to be addressing.
An excellent article Sean you capture the truth of the situation.
Hi Lloyd
Judas betrayed Jesus because He would not take worldly power His Kingdom is set within men's hearts and consciences He conquers (Rules) by the convincing evidence of truth leading men into righteousness.
kevin your brother
In Christ
Is it still thought that Judas was Jesus's betrayer or perhaps the most important link of the chain? I get confused with the discovery of previously unheard of gospels, I forget which ones it is we should believe in.
That's my problem – I don't think there should be one fixed doctrine, ever. In 20 years, could you be kept out of heaven for something that doesn't exist today?
'This blindness, to the harm caused to the church – the people of God – by the equation of faith with unquestioning obedience to clerical authority, continues to this day.' Perhaps we ought to consider that the harm done to Maurice McCabe was at least in part an act of disobedience, a rejection of clerical authority, of the teachings of the Church. Gaudium et Spes par 26 speaks of the sublime dignity of human persons – outlining rights and duties of human beings which are universal and inviolable. These rights include the right of a person to their good name, to respect, to act according to the dictates of conscience and to safeguard their privacy. The spreading of malicious gossip as a means of undermining Maurice McCabe and his family is a rejection of the teaching of Gaudium et Spes and it is also a rejection of Child Protection guidelines. The Catholic Church's Child Protection guidelines incorporate the Stay Safe Program which is implemented in all primary schools in Ireland. On the Stay Safe web site, http://www.staysafe.ie, under the parent's tab, guidance is given in relation to bullying. Bullying is defined as repeated aggressive behaviour of a verbal, physical or emotional nature. Verbal bullying includes 'spreading mean, hurtful or untrue gossip or rumors about an individual.' All types of bullying are damaging but 'particularly verbal and emotional bullying – due to the secrecy upon which it relies.' If we are to encourage whistle-blowers then we must reject the culture of rumor and gossip which destroys the happiness and emotional well being of so many people in Ireland.

Of Whispers - Demo (2010)
Of Whispers self released their debut demo in 2010, this young band came out of Melbourne which is always a great sign. These guys are a Metalcore band but they also sound like they have strong post-hardcore and deathcore influences as well. Not only do they really create a good representation of the genre, they also implement very strong emotions and moods in their sound. Musically they are pretty good as well, they don't try and over complicate the music but it still satisfies.
It's obvious that Of Whispers have mixed quite a few different genres and influences to create this masterpiece. Although this is the case, I cannot say there are entirely original. Rather than coming up with something new, these guys have managed to get everything everyone else has failed at and have just beaten them at their own game. They have put together better riffs, breakdowns and vocals. Not only this but these guys seem to be very musically minded in the sense that they seem to be very good song writers and the music structure is very good indeed. Also, even though this is just only a demo there is no evidence that says that they have "rushed" this because even though there are only just three tracks on the demo they all seem to be different and unique in their own way.
It's not exactly clear on which genre exactly these guys stand as but definitely somewhere in the triangle of Metalcore, deathcore and post-hardcore/screamo. Even though the lines which they have drawn and unclear they seem to give the listener a very good representation of the "core" genre. They don't seem to have any influences from outside genres. This is really good because many "core" fans don't usually like their music contaminated with something else such as nu metal or death metal. I would consider these guys to be 100% pure "core".
Another thing that they have done well and is considered vital to their genre is the way that they have implemented emotions and feeling into their sound. They have don't used a combination of different styles to really set the scene for their music which is a mix of sad and happy emotions. The emotions have not only been brought up the music itself but its mainly the vocals. The style the vocalist uses is similar to new Bring Me The Horizon vocals to pull up some emotion. It's not a metal scream or a growl as such, but more of a yell for help or despair. This really does highlight the emotional side and the music just embraces it even more.
So it's obvious that emotion is one of the major elements in their music which is a good thing, but that doesn't mean all of it is emo stuff. They can get pretty serious at times and unlike Oliver Sykes, Tim (the lead singer) can actually scream and growl very well. He tends to use a combination of death growls/screams and fry screaming. Not only this be he doesn't sound like he is in monotone all the time, he likes to mix things up with different pace, pitch and style.
The music itself it also very tight, out of the whole thing I couldn't find any of beat notes or where the music becomes very loose. This release features some great musicianship and it is very clear that they know what they are doing and they aren't just some cheap wannabe band. They are so good it seems that they have some kind of mainstream feel to their music which is funny because they are the opposite. What really makes this band especially intriguing is that they have kept the music simple, they haven't filled the thing up with random guitar solos or drum solos. Rather than showing off how well and individual can play, I think they have successfully shown off how well they can play as a band which is a lot more important.
The most excellent thing about this release is that even though there are only three tracks on it, there is so much variety to choose from and each track is unique in its own special way. They practically all have different moods and emotions thus reflecting very different vibes. The first track Shots, Vomits And Empty Wallets is a fairly averaged paced track with some elements of emotion. The riffs are fairly well balanced and the music is fairly easy going. It's something I would listen to If I wanted to relax. Once you hit the next track Conquest you then realise what these guys are all about. It really is a perfect combination of emotion and heaviness. It features some pretty impressive breakdowns but the highlight of the track would definitely the emotional side. Also there seems to be a sense of ambience beauty in the music especially when you get towards the end of the track. The final track If Sheep Had Shark's Teeth is probably the standout track in the demo. The music is tight and the song structure is almost perfect. It's not overly extreme but at the same time it's not dead boring either which is a great thing. If Sheep Had Shark's Teeth seems sound more like a mainstream song than the other two tracks on the demo.
Overall this is one hell of a debut demo and with enough publicity I predict that these guys will become huge. I can't imagine any "core" lover not liking this band; it's the type of music where words can only describe so much because the music speaks for itself. The music is seemingly perfect and it features everything a "core" fan would expect. It has the emotions of post-hardcore, the song structure of Metalcore and at times it can get as extreme as some deathcore bands out there. I would very highly recommend this album to anyone who likes the "core" genres , it is guaranteed to satisfy. Also I recommend the track Conquest for people who like a little bit of originality and beauty in their music and the track If Sheep Had Sharks Teeth for people who prefer a more mainstream feel in their music. Overall I give Of Whisper's debut demo a 18/20.

As this title suggests, the context of motion needs measurements to determine the length or more appropriate the distance covered by the moving object. This is what translates to moving estimates. This means we measure comprehensively the distance covered by a moving machine. Our ideal machine could be a truck or a prime mover. It could be ferrying cargo from a harbor to inland cities whose distance from the harbor is actually not very accurate. This is where moving estimates features to the logistics company that owns the prime mover.
However, its not only the logistics companies that require moving estimates, you too could estimate your movement or even the cost of this movement. The reason why companies and even individuals estimate their movement is actually to have true distances and energy spent when covering the distances as well as what are the cost implications on such a tedious exercise. Two, you will obviously calculate your move so as to conceptualize what adjustments would be fit. This will help you cut cost and improve on areas which seem to be causing delays and major expenses.
Apart from such sensitive contexts, moving estimates have various benefits to companies that haul cargo from ports and harbors to inland destinations. These companies are better known as logistics companies. They have the ability to transport cargo over a very long distance. During this process various contexts arises and moving estimate is actually very vital then. Costs of transporting the cargo are evaluated using the moving estimates. Apart from these companies, there are also other companies in the United States renowned as moving companies. These companies are involved in helping your business relocate or develop in a different location.
A moving company is your ideal resource for your business or other personal relocation needs. These companies actually have the same timelines and operations like the logistics companies. These companies when providing you with these moving services will give you a moving estimate in terms of cost. This estimate comprises of the cost estimate, distance estimates and timelines. This information helps you manage your time frames and adjust your budgets so as to move. You can always get a quick moving estimate online from online moving companies. All you need is to fill a small online form which has the relevant questions related to your movement and the entire implication that might be involved. It will help be sure of how much you will spend.
Moving estimates as such are very vital when you are moving. They help you understand the entire cost implication time frames and other factors including demographics. These moving estimates are inline with statutory regulations about moving which are set by the better business bureau and other government bodies which legislate on these moving estimates. With these estimates you will be able to adjust and even limit your expenses during this moving process. Also you can sample the types of moving companies and assess their prices so that you can be able to choose which one will be ideal for your moving.

Cooke Bill Will Legalize Sale of FDA-Approved Cannabis Drug
DENVER – As the former Sheriff of Weld County, Greeley Republican State Senator John Cooke was always a skeptic on whether any medically or scientifically valid uses for medical marijuana existed. But recent approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of a cannabis-based drug for treatment of childhood epilepsy not only prompted Cooke to rethink his just-say-no stance, but to author a bill, which passed the Senate Today in bipartisan fashion, that will make it legal for pharmacies to sell the formerly prohibited product in Colorado.
"I'll admit it, I began as a skeptic concerning so-called medical marijuana," Cooke said Monday when introducing the bill, "so much so that I openly dared those who promoted it to show me one example of where a scientifically-valid medical use had been established. So I'm as surprised as anyone is to see my name on a bill, HB-1187, that for the first time will make it legal for Colorado pharmacies to sell a federally-approved cannabinoid-based treatment for childhood epilepsy."
Cooke's bill amends the definition of "marijuana" to exclude prescription drug products approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration and dispensed by a pharmacy or prescription drug outlet registered in Colorado. It also specifies that the change in definition does not restrict or otherwise affect regulation of or access to legalized marijuana or industrial hemp in the state.
"What this company did was take marijuana, remove the THC, and produce an anti-epilepsy drug for small children, which would be illegal to sell in Colorado pharmacies unless we take the explicit step of making it legal, which is what this bill does, in a nutshell," added Cooke.
Fellow Republican Senators Beth Martinek Humenik (of Thornton) and Vicki Marble (of Fort Collins) also spoke in support of the measure. "If this drug has been approved by the FDA, we can have confidence that it's not only medically helpful but safe for use by children, if prescribed by a pediatrician," said Martinez Humenik. Marble called FDA approval of the drug "a great advancement for suffering children and their families, who we recognize are in great need of support."
HB-1187 now goes to the Governor's desk for an expected signature.

Neglected Cost Components in Data Center Planning
The process for drafting indicative pricing for data center IT installations typically follows a predicable path. First, the configuration of IT kit is examined for expected power dissipation. With the power estimates in hand, cooling and physical space estimates can be drafted. With power, cooling, and space estimates, one can propose rack configurations for candidate cabinet power density levels on the computer room floor. At the end we have what we need to get vendor quotes for the IT equipment and the impact on the data center (or quotes from collocation providers).
Cost Contribution of Cabling
One component that often goes unchecked, even during deeper rounds of data center cost estimation is the cost of cabling. Cabling costs can be (usually are) rather significant, especially with the escalating price of copper. While through the 90's, data center planners considered the cost of copper as data centers require vast amounts in support of "below white space" and "above white space" infrastructure, since 2005 the price of copper has been a dynamic variable that added a new complicating factor to data center implementation budget planning accuracy.

What made you get into the moving business?
I came up with the idea to offer a moving labor service after talking to a friend that worked for Uhaul truck rental company. He would tell me how people who rented trucks from their location would always ask them if they knew anyone that would be interested in making some money helping them load their rental trucks.
At the time I was looking for some type of business I could do part-time to earn some extra cash, because I was going through a financially draining divorce. I told my friend to give them my number and I would give him a commission off each job I done. I reasoned that helping people load and unload their moving trucks couldn't be no harder or much different than what I was already doing. I had been doing courier work for 3 years loading and unloading vans full of oil field equipment and thousands of pounds of dialysis fluids by myself on a daily basis. And as the saying goes, the rest was history. This is how and why I started U-RENT-IT-WE-MOVE-U and where its name came from.
Since you have been in business what have you noticed about most of your customers?
What I have noticed is that most people move out of necessity. Either they are moving to get out of a bad situation, down-sizing to ease a financial burden, and most people are trying to stay within a budget. After talking to my customers during my moves I realized that a lot of them was going through or been through a situation like mines, this is why I established a range of price points and solutions to work within almost any budget.
How is your company different from a traditional moving company?
U-RENT-IT-WE-MOVE-U is different from a traditional moving company because we give our customers an array of options to save money on their move. If they only need help load or unloading a moving truck that is all they will be charged for. They won't be charged for the cost of using a truck that is billed into a $75-$120 an hour rate for service that they would have to pay if they hirer a traditional moving company. Nor would they be charged extra for stairs.
U-RENT-IT-WE-MOVE-U can provide Neat, Clean, Professional Movers that have experience disassembling, wrapping, and loading/unloading furniture on and off moving trucks and setting it back up in a customer house for as low $49 an hour for two movers, $59 (three movers) and $69 (four movers). And all our movers that we send out to a customer location is licensed, bonded and insured.
Besides offering help with labor, what other value do you offer your customers?
We offer them efficiency. A move that would normally take a customer and their family and friends all day to do, our guys can get it done in a matter of a few hours, and they don't have to worry about their furniture being scratched, chipped, or damaged. Because with all our services we provide Free Furniture Pads, Free Shrink Wrap and Tape, furnish light tools, dollies, and straps to move and secure their belongings on the moving truck.
What if a customer don't have their own truck, can you still move them?
Yes we can. U-RENT-IT-WE-MOVE-U also offer a complete array of Moving Packages in which we provide the truck, movers, and a predetermined number of hours to conduct the move starting a $230 complete.
What if a customer exceed that predetermined number of hours?
They will be billed in 15 minute increments (our hourly rate is broke down in four quarters), instead of being charged for an hour if they go over.
Is there anything that U-RENT-IT-WE-MOVE-U will not load or move?
No. We are very humble movers, and no job whether it is bigger or smaller than the next is no greater than the other, because everyone's personal possessions is their personal treasures. We have loaded PICKUP TRUCKS, moved ONE and TWO PIECES of FURNITURE, loaded and unloaded PODs and ABF trailers, moved 100 sq ft STORAGES, on up to 7000 sq ft HOMES, and BUSINESSES. Our motto is, "no job is too big or small we move it all."

The properties of magnesia refractories are studied with the aim of determining the possibility of their use for lining rotary kilns. Periclase-chromite refractory PKhPP has been developed with an increased Cr2O3 content, whose use combined with a laying cement, operating by the principle of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, in a developed "slotted" single-layer lay-up of the furnace reaction zone, made it possible to increase the lining life of industrial rotary kilns by a factor of 1.5–1.8.

One further thought about the House Republicans and health care: In addition to being symptomatic of the Republican Party's larger policy problems, last week's defeat of a very modest gesture at something resembling a conservative approach to health care reform was illustrative of the particular problem of trying to rebuild the party's agenda from within the House of Representatives.
Note that the bill in question was not rejected by a majority of House Republicans, or even by a large minority: It was rejected by a rump of a rump, a tiny minority within the caucus. But that was enough to doom it, because the House runs on partisanship, and obviously House Democrats aren't about to go along with a measure designed as part of a larger strategy to pick apart Obamacare. This means that to do anything genuinely innovative on policy, Eric Cantor (or any other member of the leadership) doesn't just need a majority or a supermajority of his own caucus: He needs almost every single vote, which he can't get so long as there's a political premium to being "purer" than the leadership for conservative representatives from safe-as-houses districts. And of course the Catch-22 is that this problem would diminish if the G.O.P. had a larger House majority — but it's hard to win a larger House majority if your policymaking is held hostage by a "no retreat, no surrender, no innovation" rump.
This is why it was unfair of me, in a sense, to contrast Cantor's cautious dance with policy experimentation with Rand Paul's entrepreneurial brio in a column last month. The junior Kentucky senator is just in a fundamentally different position than the House majority leader: Because the Republicans are a minority in the Senate, because senators represent broader constituencies than congressmen, and because the structure of the upper chamber is designed to make compromise a necessity in any case, there's a lot more room for Paul to be entrepreneurial on foreign policy (or for David Vitter to be entrepreneurial on banking reform, or for Marco Rubio to entrepreneurial — even if I think it's in a mistaken cause — on immigration) than there is for a House leader charged with managing a fractious caucus to do the same.
When a Republican senator has a policy idea, he can just run with it (up to and including looking for Democratic allies) and nobody's going to blame him if it doesn't end up winning sixty votes. When Cantor has an idea, or at least when he wants to take an idea from the podium at A.E.I. into the actual political process, it immediately becomes a test of his leadership — which in turn leads to stories about House infighting when he can't persuade 95 percent of his caucus to go along.
So credit for the effort in this case, even it mostly looks like a case study in why the Democratic-controlled Senate is more likely to be a seedbed of Republican reform than the body that the G.O.P. actually controls.

Hi there,
Wondering if anyone has any different ideas for presenting "Starcle". I have done it the way that Dan Harlan presents it, but it never seems to suit me. I really love the effect, so does my girlfriend, and I have probably used half a tree's worth of napkins making stars for her. I would be very grateful for any thoughts on any new handling ideas.

Rather than vanish the napkin at the end, I switch it for a whole napkin...so it's restored...actually easier than a vanish...
catch you later

Hi Clarioneer,
Thanks for replying to my post, I thought that nobody ever would. I like your idea on restoring the napkin instead of vanishing it. Tell me, though, what sort of patter do you go with whilst doing the trick? I would love to hear if you have changed it from Harlan's or not.

There was a discussion awhile back about using Starcle with Napkin Rose. I believe the question was, what do you do with the other half of the napkin after you've made a Napkin Rose? Starcle was the perfect answer. That way, if you are preforming for a couple, the guy also leaves with a souvenir. You could also crumble up the Starcle napkin, do a shuttle pass, switch it out for some flash paper, and the whole thing goes up in a comet.

If the circle represents the sun, the switching for flash paper and burning would produce a supernova. What is the result of a supernova? ...The birth of a new star.

This is the presentation I currently use for Starcle, when doing it for families.
When I was a little boy, my father traveled with his job and was often gone for days at a time. I would worry about him when he was away and get very sad. One night, when I told him how I felt when he was gone, he picked up a piece of paper. He folded it just like this and tore off a piece, which he gave to me to hold (indicating). Then he said "John, look up in the sky. What do you see?" When I looked up, there above me was a bright, full disc of light. "The moon," I said. "That's right," he said (opening the napkin to show the circle). "And every night when I'm gone, I want you to look up at that moon, because I'll be there, watching you and smiling down on you, and you'll know that I'm thinking about you and that I love you. In fact, if you look closely, you may be able to see me" (put face into circle). Well, that always made me feel better, until one night after he had been gone several days, (roll napkin into ball - lap or switch) and when I looked up, there was no moon! (show that moon has disappeared – vanish or switch for restored napkin). I ran to my mother and told her that I was worried about Dad and I couldn't find the moon. But Mom wasn't worried at all. She said "John, what do you see in the sky?" As my eyes adjusted to the low light, I began to see pinpoints of light, one by one, hundreds of them, and one brighter than all the others. She then said "Do you remember what your father gave you to hold on to for him?" I did and I reached into my pocket, pulled it out, and opened it up (indicating). She said "as long as there are stars in the sky, your father will be there, watching over you, and sending you his love."

I go the simple route with this...
I say that this is a very simple trick I learnt from one of those Children Magic Books when I was a kid...
I just do it then...
They think I'm just folding a piece of paper and tearing it like some kinda origami thingy...
The girl holds on to the Star she helped tear off, I make sure she doesn't crumple it...
The other bit I just put it in torn and restored fashion behind the circle as I'm holding it...
They expect a kid's trick but are blown away...

There has to be any number of possibilities for presentations about the heavens, universe and so on. Check out the book How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers as this story line might give you some inspiration. Now if I could only figure out how to fold/tear the darn thing I'd be doing this as well.

You asked for "different ideas" and here's one for you. I posted it back in 2005. It's a gospel presentation for Starcle. I know it's not for everyone, but maybe someone may get some ideas from this.

On a brief side note, there have been several threads about arriving at a show, but your props don't arrive, or being at some event where the scheduled entertainment can't make it do due to an emergency and you, as a magician are asked to step in and you have nothing with you. What would you do? This would be a parlor situation. What I learned through those threads is that if you were to eliminate mentalism and quasi-mentalism (which hand, etc.) there were not many suggestions for a parlor type show. Starcle is an effect that would fit into the genre perfectly.
Dan's presentation didn't fit me either. The hook for my presentation is "I am often asked, Does magic have any practical value in the real world? I say YES and I learned very early ... shortly after I began first learning magic way back in elementary school. One of my first tricks was the Magic Sunshine Paper Tear, and shortly after I learned it, it helped in an art contest against Elnora Vasco in Miss Walter's sixth grade art class."
In summary, I portray Elnora Vasco as a snooty rich kid, with private tutors who had never lost an art competition. I have a running joke about me struggling mightily in school "Some people think I had an advantage since, though we were both in the sixth grade, I was two years older than she was."
The contest is to do a rendering of the sun with a napkin, suitable for framing, so, no, we were not allowed to ball it up, and to do it with one and only continuous tear. I, of course, did the magic Sunshine Paper tear. Elnora and I finished at the same time. I show my sun and Miss Walter's liked it even though there were a few flat spots here and there. She liked Elnora's too and just as she is indicating that she is about to pronounce Elnora as the winner again, I say, "But there is more to mine that you need to see. If there is one thing I learned last year in fifth grade science with Mr. Davis AND the year before also in Mr. Davis's fifth grade science class, is that the sun is really a star, and mine shows that." She looks over the sun but does not see anything pertinent. "No, not there, but with the other piece, the one that Elnora simply threw into the waste can."
The piece is opened per Starcle and, shows a star, and I beat Elnora for the first and only time. "She was always looking for a rematch through junior and senior and senior high but, unfortunately FOR HER, she was year or two ahead me by then."

Got a club, society or group that fancy something different at their next meeting? Jimmi from Raptor Aid has been known to talk a little (OK a lot!) about a variety of things relating to birds of prey. His talks are usually humorous but hopefully full of first hand facts and interesting images on subjects like:
- Identifying Birds of Prey
- Monitoring British Birds of Prey
- Owls of Britain with live guest
- Birds of Prey in the Forest of Dean
- What box where?
His style might be a little different from that of your typical lecture. How about owl pellet dissections or flat pack bird of prey nest box building? If getting your hands dirty isn't what you had in mind, a pub style quiz can be arranged to test your bird brains. All we ask for in return is that you don't fall asleep and a donation is made to the work carried out by Raptor Aid.

Court rules on Suarez's World Cup biting ban
(CNN) — Luis Suarez will have to wait until late October to make his debut for Spanish club Barcelona after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) partially upheld the Uruguay star's ban for biting an opponent on Thursday.
The striker was suspended from all football-related activity for four months — preventing him from even training — after he bit Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder during a World Cup group game in Brazil in late June, and banned for nine international matches.
Switzerland-based CAS heard the 27-year-old's case last week as he appealed against the punishment imposed by soccer's world governing body FIFA.
Suarez and his legal team had spent five hours before a three-man CAS appeal panel in Lausanne in an attempt to reduce the suspension, but the ban on playing was upheld along with a fine of $111,000.
However, CAS said he is free to take part in other football-related duties "such as training, promotional activities and administrative matters."
"The CAS Panel found that the sanctions imposed on the player were generally proportionate to the offense committed," the ruling stated.
"It has however considered that the stadium ban and the ban from 'any football-related activity' were excessive given that such measures are not appropriate to sanction the offense committed by the player and would still have an impact on his activity after the end of the suspension."
Suarez's playing ban expires on October 25, and Barcelona's next match is the "El Clasico" grudge match with rival Real Madrid the following day.
The Chiellini incident was the third time Suarez had bitten a player — he had previously been banned for similar transgressions while playing for Dutch club Ajax and English side Liverpool.
With Suarez sidelined, Uruguay lost its last-16 match to Colombia and was knocked out of the World Cup.
Suarez eventually apologized for his actions, but lost his appeal to FIFA over the sanctions before deciding to take the matter to CAS — an independent "last resort" body that deals with sporting disputes.
FIFA's punishment did not stop Barcelona signing Suarez from Liverpool in a $127 million deal last month which will give the club a star-studded attack when he finally lines up alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Suarez was top scorer in the English Premier League last season, winning the two major player of the year awards for his outstanding performances in helping Liverpool to second place and a return to the European Champions League.
He suffered a knee injury at the end of the season which threatened his participation in the World Cup. He missed Uruguay's first game but recovered to score two goals that ended England's hopes of reaching the knockout stages as the South Americans on 2-1.
But in the final group game, his bite on Chiellini — captured by television cameras — provided the most notorious moment of the World Cup, overshadowing a 1-0 victory by Uruguay that eliminated Italy.

Published version
Three dimensional (3D) vertically aligned structures have attracted tremendous attention from scientists in many fields due to their unique properties. In this work, we have built the 3D vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT)/NiCo2O4 core/shell nanoarchitecture via a facile electrochemical deposition method followed by subsequent annealing in air. The morphology and structure have been in-depth characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD and Raman spectroscopy. Impressively, when used as the electrode material in a 6 M KOH electrolyte, the vertically aligned CNT/NiCo2O4 core/shell structures exhibit excellent supercapacitive performances, including high specific capacitance, excellent rate capability and good cycle stability. This is due to the unique 3D vertically aligned CNT/NiCo2O4 core/shell structures, which support high electron conductivity, large surface area of NiCo2O4 and fast ion/electron transport in the electrode and at the electrolyte–electrode interface. Furthermore, the synthesis strategy presented here can be easily extended to fabricate other metal oxides with a controlled core/shell structure, which may be a promising facile strategy for high performance supercapacitors, and even advanced Li-ion batteries.

Austin Man Injured in Axtell Motorcycle Accident
Posted By The Carlson Law Firm || 26-Nov-2012
A motorcycle accident in Axtell, Texas sent the rider to the hospital after a vehicle collided with the bike on State Hwy 31, Friday, officials said.
Police identified the motorcyclist who was injured as 25-year-old Daniel Cameron, of Austin.
According to authorities on the scene of the Texas motorcycle accident, a Jeep Grand Cherokee collided with Cameron as he was traveling near the intersection of Hwy 31. Officials said the driver of the Jeep had a stop sign at the intersection but are still investigating the motorcycle crash.
The driver of the Jeep was not identified by police, but officials believe she was in her 30's.
According to a report by the Waco Tribune, Cameron was transported to Scott & White hospital in Temple and was previously listed in critical condition. An off-duty registered nurse reportedly aided Cameron at the scene of the Axtell motorcycle crash until emergency officials could arrive on the scene.

Frequent Questions Asked at BiofacAnswers to frequently asked questions about natural beneficial pest control and Biofac products are here. To send in
your questionsCLICK HERE FOR THE QUESTIONS / FEEDBACK FORMWe add new questions and answers to benefit our growing community of readers.
Q: What are the usage instructions for Trichogramma?A: Biofac has detailed usage and application instructions for all of its beneficial insects
along with distribution guides and prices. Click here to go directly to the usage instructions for Trichogramma. Biofac always tells you how to maintain your beneficial insect programs.Q: What beneficial insects control which pests?A: Biofac has detailed lists of pests versus beneficial insects with distribution guides and
prices. Click here to go directly to this list and quide. Biofac tells you what and how to maintain your beneficial insect program.Q: Will adding beneficial insects cause inspection problems?A: No - These are all natural predators. They are small in size and they only live for a
few days unless there is a lot of prey available as food.Q: Do beneficial insects damage grain?A: No - They do not eat or damage any grains. They are only interested in their prey, the pest bugs.
Q. Do beneficial insects ever become pests themselves? A. No. They are called beneficial insects because they are helpful to mankind by destroying pest insects that damage crops. "Beneficial" insects are not harmful to members
of the animal kingdom nor the plant kingdom of life. Q. By releasing beneficial insects, does an imbalance in nature occur? A. There already exists an imbalance in favor of crop destroying insects (pests).
Balance between beneficial insects and pest insects is therefore restored through the deliberate release of beneficial insects. Q. Is it necessary to release additional beneficial insects each year? A. Yes. Although many of them survive, their populations are directly dependent upon
the seasonal availability of pest insects as food. This host dependency subordinates beneficial insects to pest insects in the food chain. Q. How often are beneficial insects applied to a crop? A. Usually between 2 and 12 times per production season. Q. Where does Biofac get its start of beneficial insects?
A. Some are obtained from research colonies maintained by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Others are obtained from the fields where they are found with the pest insects. Q. Is it more expensive to use Beneficial insects than traditional insecticides? A. No. It is less expensive to use beneficial insects because they reproduce in the field
at the physical expense of pest insects. University researchers have recently stated that the cost of bringing a single, new pesticide to the market today exceeds $60 million. Q. Does the Federal government agree with the use of beneficial insects as crop protectants? A. Yes. The USDA has used indigenous species of beneficial insects, and they import
new species of beneficials for use when new pest insects are found invading crops in the USA when indigenous species of beneficial insects are not effective in controlling the newly invading pest species. Another example of the Federal government agreeing with the use of beneficial insects is shown in the Federal Register publication of an "exemption from
requirements of a tolerance" for certain beneficial insects produced by Biofac Crop Care, Inc. that are used in the protection of Stored-Products. Also it is recorded that during the early 1890's, USDA scientists imported a colony of Ladybugs from Australia. They were released into California citrus where they successfully controlled an insect pest, Cottony Cushion Scale. These are but a few examples of government use and endorsement of beneficial
insects. Q. How are beneficial insects applied to the crops? A. They are applied aerially, by ground equipment, from pickup trucks, and even on foot. Instructions are included with each shipment. Q. How are they shipped to the customer?
A. By common carrier. Most beneficial insects shipped by Biofac are shipped overnight in Styrofoam boxes with gel ice. This method preserves the quality of the beneficial insects until arrival at the destination. Q. How does one purchase beneficial insects from Biofac? A. They can be purchased directly from this web site. Just click here for the "ORDER" form and fill in the form for credit card purchases. They can be purchase over the phone by dialing 361-547-3259
direct to the office, or they can be purchased from your local or regional Biofac field representative on Visa, Master Card, or American ExpressQ. Is Biofac a part of, or supported by the government? A. No. Biofac is a privately owned and operated company, which has provided
beneficial insects and "use" technology to farmers in the USA, Mexico, and Central America since 1978. Biofac Crop Care does support and provide beneficial insects for numerous government studies when asked by agencies such as the U. S. Department of Agriculture and agriculture departments of universities and colleges.
