Andi Pepper Jacobs
Posted by: admin
I always knew I wanted to go to Moore. I didn't even want to finish high school! I just wanted to go to art school.
I earned my BFA in Sculpture and Painting from Moore in 1974 and later went on to earn my MFA in Interior Design from Drexel University.
Today, I'm the founder of Andi Pepper Interior Design in New York City. My work includes creating contemporary interiors for restaurants, residencies, lobbies and public spaces of cooperative and condominium buildings and commercial interiors, as well as joint hotel and residential projects with my husband's firm, The Stephen B. Jacobs group.
I bring to each project an extensive background, interest and involvement in fine arts, which was honed at Moore. My interest in interior design was first sparked in graduate school, where I realized I could apply my knowledge of sculpture and painting to large commercial interiors.
I attribute my success – it all comes back to being a fine artist at Moore. There were no boundaries when it came to creativity and expressing myself. My whole process – I was never afraid or intimidated when it came to the arts. I felt like I could do whatever I wanted to do.
My work has won numerous awards for design excellence. I was the originator of the Gansevoort Hotel concept and was responsible for the design of the original Gansevoort Hotel in the Meatpacking district in NYC, The Gansevoort in South Beach, Florida and The Gansevoort Park Avenue South, NYC.
My hotel portfolio also includes many of New York's hip lifestyle hotels, including Library Hotel, Hotel Giraffe and more. I also recently completed the Breakwater Hotel in South Beach, the Edge, a million square foot condominium in Williamsburg, NY and I'm currently working on the massive Hotel X in Toronto, Ontario.
Opening my own design firm was the result of intense focus, determination and the belief that anything is possible, all traits I learned from being at an all-women's college.
I was really focused and I could really be myself. Looking back, if Moore was coed, I might have been more distracted. It didn't matter how you dressed or looked. Everyone was there for the same reason – it was exciting.
Being at Moore in the 1970s was the time of Vietnam and Feminism, and being a woman at that time, Moore gave you possibilities. I wanted to be something. Moore opened up a whole new world for me.

TOKYO (Reuters) - The Fukushima nuclear disaster is driving one of Japan's biggest industry overhauls since World War Two, as new, nimble suppliers take business from the big regional power monopolies, and manufacturers, from steelmakers to drinks firms, generate their own power and sell what they don't need.
The 10 powerful regional utilities, which still supply around 90 percent of Japan's electricity - even with the country's nuclear industry virtually idled since the 2011 disaster - are expected to be broken up into separate power generation and distribution companies anyway by 2020.
But the world's worst atomic crisis in a quarter of a century has accelerated the pace of market reforms, as a growing number of firms armed with new technologies, flexible payment options and, often, cheaper power invade traditional markets.
Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco), the operator of the Fukushima facility, and the other major utilities have lost thousands of accounts in the 30 months since the plant was crippled by a massive earthquake and tsunami, as businesses switch to cheaper alternatives, a Reuters survey shows.
"Until recently, everyone just assumed that if you put a plug in a socket electricity would come out. Most people had no idea of the structures behind that," said Hiroaki Ikebe, president of Ennet Corp, Japan's biggest independent electricity supplier. But the Fukushima disaster, he said, prompted people to ask how the power supply system works, how fees are calculated, what services are available, and how this compares with other countries.
While the big utilities still dominate the market, Fukushima exposed shortcomings in power distribution, and the increasing competition is likely to push prices lower and shrink their market share.
With energy companies' public image shredded in the wake of the Fukushima crisis, the government is to press on with opening up the market and reducing some of the highest electricity costs in the world. But change won't be easy as the utilities are politically well-connected and have resisted liberalization attempts since the 1990s.
The reforms, set to go to parliament when it resumes next month, aim to create a national grid company in 2015, and break up the monopolies into generation and transmission firms by 2020, and abolish price controls.
Ennet has doubled its customer base to 15,000 in two years by offering cheaper prices and more flexible contracts, overtaking Japan's smallest monopoly, Okinawa Electric Power Co, in terms of electricity supplied, Ikebe said.
The independents not only undercut the monopolies by accepting lower profit margins, they also provide power management systems and flexible buying plans to reduce prices and save energy. Many also trade electricity and use plant and infrastructure paid for by other firms, so they don't have to recoup those costs.
Tepco, Kansai Electric Power Co, Chubu Electric Power Co and the other regional monopolies have lost close to 18,000 customers since around the time of the Fukushima disaster, figures provided by the companies to Reuters show.
"We assume customers with smaller demand are likely to switch to the new electric power companies," said Naoko Iguchi, a spokeswoman at Kyushu Electric, which lost 340 accounts in April-June - more than double the number in the previous 12 months - as it raised tariffs to cover higher fuel costs while its nuclear reactors are shut down.
Tepco has been hardest hit, losing 11,550 customers as it raised its prices by 10-17 percent. That's more than half the number of accounts it has lost since 2000, when Japan last tried to open up the market to competition. With its only remaining viable nuclear plant - the Kashiwazaki Kariwa facility in Niigata prefecture - still shut, Tepco has said it may have to increase prices again to bolster its finances. The utility has racked up net losses of $27.4 billion since the Fukushima crisis 30 months ago.
A spokesman said Tepco offers energy savings plans to try to stop defections from its almost 29 million customers.
Chubu Electric last month broke an unwritten rule among utilities not to stray onto each others' turf by buying control of Diamond Power Corp, a Tokyo-based independent electricity supplier. Chubu Electric, Mitsubishi Corp, the seller of the Diamond Power stake, and Nippon Paper Industries Co will also build a coal-fired power station near Tokyo to supply Diamond Power.
Nippon Paper, Japan's No. 2 paper producer by sales, is also branching out on its own. It registered last year to be an independent electricity supplier to sell excess in-house generated power, spokesman Koji Yoshino said, and plans to build power generation facilities in its factories around Japan, including a 110 MW coal-fired plant in Miyagi prefecture, north of Tokyo. The company has used biomass and solar power in three other locations, Yoshino said.
Others have followed suit, with more than 100 companies registering with the government as of Friday to become power producers and suppliers. Manufacturers and others are also setting up in-house generators to produce electricity and cut costs as the big regional utilities hike prices - further eating into the monopolies' market share.
"We realize competition is going to get fierce," said a spokesman at Kansai Electric, which this year raised its prices by almost 10 percent, and lost 1,050 customers in May-July.
The number of locations licensed to generate 1 MW or more of in-house power rose 4.6 percent to 3,346 in the year to end-March 31, industry ministry figures show, with manufacturers from steelmakers to drinks firms getting in on the act.
Asahi Group Holdings Ltd, Japan's second-biggest beverage maker by sales, spent about 1 billion yen ($10 million)to add a 7.8 MW gas co-generation unit at its Ibaraki brewery - inside Tepco's service area - that started in July. That, and other energy saving measures, will allow it to cut peak-time energy use across its eight breweries by about 40 percent compared to last summer, Asahi said.
Kobe Steel Ltd, which generates power at its factories using blast furnace gas as fuel, has bigger plans. Japan's No. 3 steelmaker aims to build Japan's biggest inland thermal power plant north of Tokyo, a 1,400 MW gas-fired station. The facility will be supplied by gas from an expanded network planned by Tokyo Gas Co, Japan's biggest city gas supplier and one of three shareholders of Ennet. The others are Osaka Gas Co and a unit of NTT Facilities Inc.

Because the number of influenza cases has significantly increased throughout the region, children age 12 and under may not visit patients effective Wednesday, January 8. This applies to all Wake Forest Baptist inpatient locations and will remain in effect until the number of flu cases decreases significantly.Learn More.
It's hard to imagine someone intentionally hurting a child. Yet nearly 1 million children are abused every year just in the United States alone. And these are only the reported incidents of child abuse — many more cases are unreported and undetected, often because children are afraid to tell somebody who can help.
Most of the time, kids know their abusers and the abuse happens in the home. This makes it difficult for kids to speak up. They may feel trapped by the affection they feel for their abusers or fearful of the power the abusers have over them — so they stay silent. That's why it's especially important to be able to recognize the signs of child abuse.
Child abuse happens when a parent or other adult causes serious physical or emotional harm to a child.
In the United States, the laws defining what constitutes child abuse vary from state to state, but generally speaking, child abuse can take these forms:
The most serious cases of child abuse can end in death. Those who survive may suffer emotional scars that can last long after the physical bruises have healed. Kids who are abused are more likely to have problems building and maintaining relationships throughout their lives. They're also more likely to have low self-esteem, depression, thoughts of suicide, and other mental health issues.
When people think of child abuse, their first thought probably is of physical abuse — such as striking, kicking, or shaking a child. Physical abuse can also include:
Abusive head trauma, or shaken baby syndrome, is a specific form of physical abuse. It's the leading cause of death in child abuse cases in the U.S. Most incidents last just a few seconds, but that's enough time to cause brain damage or even kill a baby.
Sexual abuse happens when a child is raped or forced to commit a sexual act. But it's also any sort of sexual contact with a child or any behavior that is meant to sexually arouse the abuser. So, in addition to having sex with a child, fondling a child's genitals or making a child touch someone else's genitals, sexual abuse also includes:
Neglect is any action — or inaction — on the part of a caregiver that causes a child physical or emotional harm. For example, withholding food, warmth in cold weather, or proper housing is considered neglectful. Basically, anything that interferes with a child's growth and development constitutes neglect. This also includes:
Abandonment is a type of neglect. This is when a child is left alone for extended periods of time or suffers serious harm because no one was looking after him or her.
Emotional abuse or psychological abuse is a pattern of behavior that has negative effects on a child's emotional development and sense of self-worth. Ignoring a child or withholding love, support, or guidance is considered emotional abuse. So is threatening, terrorizing, belittling, or constantly criticizing a child.
The use of alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs can hinder a caregiver's judgment and put a child in danger, leading to things like neglect or physical abuse. But in some states, substance abuse is also considered a form of child abuse on its own.
Examples of child abuse due to a substance abuse problem in the house include:
It would be simpler if all child abusers followed a pattern and were easy to recognize. The truth is that child abusers come from all walks of life. They can be parents, other family members, teachers, coaches, and family friends. Virtually anyone who has access to a child is in a position to mistreat the child. Fortunately, the vast majority of people don't.
Sometimes, people who abuse kids can show some behavioral signs. For example, parents who abuse their children may avoid other parents in the neighborhood, may not participate in school activities, and might be uncomfortable talking about their children's injuries or behavioral problems.
Adults who sexually abuse children typically know the kids beforehand. Rarely will a sexual abuser pick a child at random. The abuser may use this relationship to his or her advantage, telling the child to keep the relationship a secret or warning that the child will be hurt or in trouble if he or she tells anyone.
Many times, people who abuse children were themselves abused as kids. This cycle of abuse can be hard to break and can pass down for generations within a family.
It's sometimes difficult to tell the difference between the ordinary scrapes and scratches of childhood and a physical sign of child abuse. Multiple bruises or those that keep coming back, black eyes, and broken bones are certainly red flags, but other signs — like a child's emotional health — are also telling.
Here are some ways that kids who are being abused might react:
Other kids might not act out in the typical ways, but will avoid going home after school or doing any activity that would cause them to spend time alone with the abuser.
In addition to kids who are being abused, those who witness abuse (but are not the victims themselves — like siblings) sometimes show similar signs.
But just because a child is showing these signs, it doesn't necessarily point to abuse. Children who are going through stressful situations, like parents' separation or divorce, a family move, or the loss of a friend or family member, may undergo a change in their mood or disposition.
Abuse is not a private family matter, although it most often occurs within families and often is kept as a family secret. Once you suspect child abuse, you need to act to protect the child from further possible harm. It doesn't matter if you're wrong: it's better to be wrong than sorry.
Here's what to do:
Pediatricians recommend that children who are suspected abuse victims be brought to a hospital, where the initial diagnosis can be made and treatment can be given. Hospitals are havens for abused kids, especially battered children who may need X-rays or cultures for a diagnosis to be made. Imaging can indicate broken bones, which are often the only sign that infants and very young children have been abused, as they aren't able to speak of the abuse themselves.
Psychological help is also strongly recommended. Without it, children who have been abused may suffer emotional problems or repeat the pattern of abuse with their own kids.
While not all suspicions and accusations of child abuse turn out to be true, all deserve serious attention and immediate action. Child abuse can rob kids of the joy of growing up and affect them negatively for years to come.
But abuse doesn't have to ruin a child's life, as long as it's stopped and dealt with. The earlier abuse can be identified and stopped, the less destructive it will be. Healing from the abuse and dealing with its aftermath can also start that much earlier.
So take any accusations of abuse seriously until you know for sure whether or not they're true. All children deserve to be heard, protected, and helped, no matter what.

Wines of Canada's Okanagan Valley
British Columbia is one of those places you never guessed would be making dry wines. Even if you considered its close proximity to the state of Washington, it probably still wouldn't dawn on you that Canada would produce anything other than Ice Wine. Well, surprise – they DO!
Occupying what is essentially the Columbia River watershed in Southeast British Columbia, the Okanagan Valley is about 110 miles long from north to south. It is bisected by the Okanagan River, which finally joins with the Columbia River in northern Washington State. Although the region is the driest in B.C., the valley also contains 6 lakes. It is the ancient home to the Okanagan people, an Interior Salish people who still live in the valley today.
The first non-natives arrived in 1811, and were mostly fur trappers. In 1846, the Oregon Treaty laid out the border between British North America and the United States west of the Rocky Mountains on the 49th parallel. The Okanagan Valley did not see many more outsiders for a decade afterward.
The Fraser Canyon Gold Rush of 1858 eventually encouraged more settlement. In the decades that followed, hundreds of ranchers came to settle on Okanagan Lake. A mining industry began in the southern Okanagan region, and more farmers, as well as a small service industry, came to meet the needs of the miners. Today, fruit production is a hallmark of the Okanagan Valley today.
Like much of Southern British Columbia, the Okanagan has a mild climate, although the Okanagan is considerably drier than many other areas. Areas in the north end of the valley receive more precipitation and cooler temperatures than areas to the south. Vegetation ranges from cactus and sagebrush in the south, to Cedar and Hemlock trees in the North.

Goodbye Bowens
There are widespread reports from the photo industry that Bowens Lighting is to go into liquidation. The company would have celebrated its centenary in just 6 years time.
Bowens used to rule the roost when it came to lighting rigs for professional photographers. Countless stars and celebrities over the decades where illuminated by Bowens lighting in studios and on location across the globe. So dominant was the company that the company name was often used as the noun that described a photographer's lighting, particularly studio flash lighting in more recent years.
The company started in the UK as a camera repair specialist in 1923 and later found its niche in studio lighting. It's true to say that the industry segment Bowens once dominated has now become crowded and very competitive.
- Do you use Bowens gear – what does the bad news mean to you?
- Have you switched away from Bowens and, why?
- Do you have any memorable anecdotes about using Bowens lighting over the years?

I love decorating for holidays, especially Halloween and Christmas. I do not, however, love to spend a lot of money. This year I decided to try making table runners out of my favorite crafting material that I always have on hand: upcycled wool! For this project I used a pair of red wool pants and a white wool blazer, probably both found in the clearance section of Goodwill. I chose these fabrics because they are thinner than sweaters and woven rather than knit, so they don't stretch much. I'm sure you could use a wool sweater, but I'd be careful about substituting synthetic material such as fleece for this project. If you do try something like polyester fleece, skip the ironing—it'll melt. You probably already knew that, but I learned it the hard way. Yuck!
Once you've found some material that will work, you'll also need your scissors, a sewing machine threaded up in red, and preferably a cutting board, clear ruler, and rotary cutter. You'll also need your iron at the end.
I decided I wanted my table runner to be 7-8 inches wide, so I cut a piece of folded fabric to that width with the rotary cutter. The fold is at the bottom.
I then used a piece of chalk tied to a string to mark off a curve for the two end caps of my candy cane table runner.
After cutting along that curve, I used the clear ruler and rotary cutter to cut the end cap at an angle. Now we are ready to cut the pieces in between!
I laid them next to the first pieces and used the clear ruler as a guide to be sure I was cutting them to the right width and at the right angle.
Once I had enough in red and white, it was time to sew!
To properly position the pieces so that they are right sides together for sewing, simply grab the lower piece and flip it up onto the piece above it. But WAIT! You can't sew them together with the edges matched exactly, or the whole thing will be a little bit off. What's important is that they align on the seams once you've sewn them all together, and there's about a 1/4 inch between the edge of the fabric and where you are sewing. Line it up with the edge of the presser foot.
Perhaps a better way of explaining it is that you should leave a pointy little cat ear poking out each time you sew two pieces together. You want the needle to start sewing just to the left of the cat ear.
And hopefully when you come out on the other end, you'll see something like this!
Once you have all the pieces together, it should look something like this. It doesn't look its best yet because we still have a couple of steps to go!
It's time to warm up your iron and iron those seams open. (Remember to be careful with this if you are using a substitute material such as fleece!) Ironing the seams open will help the runner lie flat on the table. Finally, once you're done ironing, trim off all those little triangles that are poking out and while you're at it, even out any areas that might need it.
P.S. Because it is cut at an angle, this table runner is a bit trickier than the table runner I made for Halloween. If you wanted a faster, simpler project, you could skip the candy cane motif and sew one like this in Christmas colors instead.

DOVER — The New Durham woman convicted of starving a child under her care was indicted this month on two charges pertaining to her three-week trial in February.
Christina Thomas, 34, of 214 Birch Hill Road in New Durham, currently being held in jail with no bail, was indicted last week on felony charges of perjury and falsifying physical evidence.
Thomas in February was found guilty of first-degree assault, a Class A felony, for depriving a child under her care of proper nutrition between 2006 and 2010, causing the young boy's "failure to thrive."
A sentencing hearing for the first-degree assault charge is scheduled for Monday.
The boy, who is the son of Thomas's former friend, weighed approximately 23 pounds when he was taken from the Thomas' residence and placed into foster care a few months before his seventh birthday.
During February's trial, witnesses testified Thomas deprived the young boy of food, even when he cried of hunger, as well as abused the boy's mother, who reportedly has developmental problems.
Thomas has six children of her own. While some of her children testified on her behalf in February, one of her sons, Jayden Thomas, was not available during trial, as he was out of state.
The grand jury indictment last week alleges Thomas falsified physical evidence by impairing Jayden Thomas' availability during trial.
It was previously reported by Foster's that on Feb. 21, Thomas's 10-year-old son was unable to take the stand, as he was in Jamaica Plain, Mass., on that day. That same day, during trial, Judge John Lewis informed Thomas that her decision to have her son out of state on the day he may have testified could result in additional charges against her.
The perjury indictment alleges Thomas falsely testified at trial that she did not tell Kevin Tulley, the father of two of her children, that he would never see his kids again if he did not testify.
On Feb. 21, the day Thomas took the stand at Strafford County Superior Court, Deputy County Attorney Alysia Cassotis asked Thomas about an incident earlier that day, when an employee of the county attorney's office reported she overheard the defendant on the phone yelling at Tulley, a man listed as a possible witness in the case.
Thomas responded by saying she did tell Tulley to return to the court to testify, or there would be consequences. She refuted Cassotis' colleague's claims that she told her Tulley, her ex-boyfriend, that she would not allow him to see his children ever again if he didn't appear in court.
Perjury and falsifying physical evidence are both Class B felonies, each carrying maximum sentences of 3� to 7 years in prison and a $2,000 fine. Thomas's hearing on these charges is scheduled for Tuesday, at 10 a.m., at Strafford County Superior Court, the day after she is sentenced on the first-degree assault charge.
An indictment is not an indication of guilt; rather, it means a jury found sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
Woman convicted of starving boy is indicted on additional charges

`Thundercats' is back with this reimagining of the '80s animated series that has become a cult favourite since going off the air. On Third Earth, the kingdom of Thundera is threatened by the lizard people, led by evil sorcerer Mumm-Ra, causing Lion-O, the young heir to the throne, to embark on a quest to take his rightful spot as king. Lion-O's faithful comrades - including Tygra, Cheetara, Panthro, WilyKat and loyal pet Snarf - join him on his journey to save their world from darkness.

Hmm, I didn't think at all about what I'd be wearing...
...I'd be wearing something?
I'd probably show up in a relatively plain outfit, as close to a t-shirt and jeans as I could get without annoying saundra. I wouldn't have to worry about annoying volair, of course, as I suspect showing up nude would be perfectly acceptable to him.

Economists say the sales and profit gains of early this year are disappearing, and they are increasingly pessimistic about short-term growth.
They also are gloomy because of the potential impact in the US from Europe's financial crisis, the possible expiration of tax cuts in December and the prospect of major cuts in federal spending.
A survey by the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) released yesterday also found less evidence of hiring, confirming the trend in recent monthly jobs reports from the government.
In the quarterly survey of 67 economists who work for companies or industry trade groups, 22 percent reported rising employment this month, down from about 30 percent in the last three surveys and 42 percent a year ago. On the positive side, only 9 percent said employment was falling. The rest said it was unchanged.
Just 39 percent of the economists surveyed reported rising sales at their companies this month, down from 60 percent in April. There was a similar trend on corporate profit margins, with 29 percent reporting rising margins this month, compared with 40 percent in April.
"The survey results suggest worsening economic conditions," said Nayantara Hensel, a business professor at National Defense University who analyzed the results for NABE. "The rising sales and profit margins experienced earlier in the year may have been short-lived."
US employers added just 80,000 jobs last month, the third straight month of weak job growth. The unemployment rate was stuck at 8.2 percent. That has made the economy the overarching issue in the presidential election — it will be US President Barack Obama's undoing if presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney convinces voters that he can do better.
The state of the economy may also determine the fate of the deep tax cuts that were passed under former US president George W. Bush and which expire at the end of December. A weak economy will bolster proponents of extending the cuts, which opponents complain favored the wealthy.
Nearly two-thirds of the NABE members surveyed this month said they were worried that their companies' sales would suffer if the tax cuts end and automatic cuts in federal spending begin in January because of Congress' failure to approve a long-term deficit-reduction plan.
As the economy continues to plod along at a sluggish pace, it has made forecasters gloomier about the next 12 months.
In the NABE survey, 40 percent said the economy would grow 2 percent or less over the next year. Three months ago, only 23 percent were that cautious.
That led them to lower their expectations for hiring. Only 23 percent predicted that employment would rise over the next six months, down from 39 percent who expected more hiring in April.
The economists were upbeat about one thing: They see little indication of inflation, with few reporting higher prices or raw-material costs.

Treading on the heels of Make Up For Ever's HD blushes (which I had but found TOO pigmented, too difficult to use) comes Missha's Sheer Fluid Blushers – I love liquid and cream blushes even if they don't last that long – I like the glowy look they give and how they feel on my skin. I DON'T like mousse blushers (so far) because they make me feel like I'm rubbing silicone on my face.
And on to my little haul!
There are 4 shades to choose from; whenever buying Asian brands, bear in mind that they tend to make really sheer, light shades for pale skin so I went for the darkest one (which isn't actually that dark by the way!). 04 is Vivid Coral a really beautiful orange peach.
The Sheer Fluid blushers are shimmer free and a really nice creamy-liquid texture. One pump brings out (like with all these damn blushers) too much product, and not wanting to waste it I ended up looking really really really…flushed some days. Ahem.
I used this product quite regularly and it is a really lovely natural no brainer peachy shade that works on my medium tan skintone and would look great on paler ladies too. It's still too light in my opinion for dark skintones which is a shame – but a lot of these Asian brands do play it safe when it comes to lip and cheek colours.
Texture is very much a cream not a gel which I prefer.
Is blended away even a phrase? Anyway as you can see the scary boldness is not indicative of the finish which is sheer and very glowy.
Even though it's a sheer natural finish, if you leave it on the skin for too long (over 15 seconds) without blending it will set and you will have blobs over your face which will require make up remover to take off for some foundation to tone down!! I know because I did this!
Once set it's a glowy finish, rather than powdery and it lasts ok, a few hours but nothing long lasting.
On my cheeks;
The pump broke. One week in and it stopped pumping and there's nothing I can do to get the rest of the product out. The seller refunded me for the item but I'm kinda sad – I just wanted it to work and seeing as I have so much other make up I don't feel any great urge to buy this again right away.
But it's a great liquid blush if you're not into the scarily pigmented MUFE and ELF versions out there!
Bought from eBay for around £6!
*Purchased by me for review

CONVICT LAKE CLIP CLOP: The Sierra Nevada are home to a number of spectacular bodies of water. Oh, we'll definitely trot out "spectacular" there, because the lakes and rivers and waterfalls in that long spine of mountains that wends its way down the middle-ish, Nevada-close-ish part of our state have a way of showing up on postcards and t-shirts. (Can we use that as our measuring stick? If a natural place ends up on postcards, it is probably spectacular?) The big water drops of Yosemite Valley and the Mammoth Lakes and, yep, Mono Lake (we know, not truly in the mountains, but we'll throw it in for color) get a lot of play, for sure, but from time to deserving time Convict Lake gets the love. As it should; it isn't all that far from the Mammoth Lakes and offers a whole caboodle of recreational to-dos. And, yep, it has that wild/wooly Old West name.
ABOUT THAT RECREATION: One of the biggies to do around the lake, beside catch trout and more trout, is to get in the saddle and take in the valley views from a lopey walk. And now you can: Convict Lake Resort's 2012 horseback riding just opened up for the season on Monday, May 14. They're two-hour rides, beginners are a-ok, and they're $60 a person. Oh, and a "scenic meadow" is on the route. We'll call it the antidote to cubicle coop-up, standing a meadow, next to your horse, thinking vast Sierra thoughts. Can we use that as our measuring stick, for all other antidotes to the stresses of the working world? "Is it as relaxing and fun as horseback riding in a Sierra meadow?" That seems to work. Note that the Convict Lake Resort horseback riding will close shop again come the week or so before the start of fall.

Stonie doesn't like the 6-man rotation that the Sox will be trying:
"It's not a particularly good idea," Steve Stone said on the Boers and Bernstein Show. "And there have been a lot of really smart baseball people that have resisted the temptation of this for, oh I don't know, 110 years or so…If Humber continues to throw the ball as he has…one of the options open to you, and this might be a decent one, although Jesse Crain has been terrific, I don't think you can ever have too many great arms in the bullpen. But we have a guy who's been fairly inconsistent, when he's good he's very good, when he's bad he's awful, and that's been Edwin Jackson."
But he's a guy, that if you move him to the bullpen, and I know you're paying him $8.75 million, but…if he can go up there for one inning, he can throw 98, 99 miles per hour, and if that slider is even in the neighborhood, guys are going to have no chance agaisnt it. So that would be an option also."

When Gonzalo Segares left Chicago this January to join Cypriot club Apollon FC, the Fire were left with a gaping hole at left back. Unsatisfied with the possibility of starting the since released Daniel Woolard or natural midfielder Mike Banner in Segares' place, the Fire front office decided they needed another option at left back.
Enter defender Krzysztof Krol, who the Fire acquired on loan from Polish club Jagiellonia Bialystok shortly after Segares signed with Apollon. Originally, Krol was expected to come in and take the reins at left back. Thus far in 2010, that has not been the case. Head coach Carlos de los Cobos has started three different left backs – Banner, Krol and Deris Umanzor – in the first three games of the season.
Apart from keeping that trio on pins and needles every week, the revolving door at left back has not made things any easier on the rest of the Fire's defense. The instability has forced regular starters C.J. Brown, Wilman Conde, Tim Ward and goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra to adapt to a new set of tendencies and skills every week.
"It's always difficult when you have a different lineup every game," said Brown after last Saturday's loss to San Jose. "But at the end of the day, everybody has their job to do and you've got to do it. We train together all day. We had preseason. It's really not a matter of who's on or who's off. You've got your opportunity, take advantage of it."
This weekend the Fire take on the league's bottom club, D.C. United. With no other viable options at left back, one of Krol, Banner or Umanzor figures to get his second start of the year. The leading candidate is likely Krol who, after starting in week two against Colorado, came on as a second-half replacement for Umanzor last week.
"Umanzor played with no confidence [against San Jose]," de los Cobos said after training on Tuesday. "For this reason I put in Krzysztof. But I think it's important to try and find the best lineup. I am looking. I am trying to find it."
Clearly, it's important that de los Cobos find his best lineup – and his full-time left back – soon. The Fire have gotten off to a disappointing 0-2-1 start and – though it's still very early – starting to collect results can only help.

Hey guys, on the android version of Junk Jack. I cant seem to open the app. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7. Everytime I try to open the app a white screen comes up for 5 seconds then crashes. After that it crashes instantly, no screen at all. It makes me sad because I cant play at all.

The University of Miami men's basketball team completely rules the ACC...
Miami basketball has dominated all season long from start to finish...
UM basketball may win their first National Championship...
And now we wait for the final results...
« Duke Leaves Miami Feeling Blue | Main | I Hate It When A Redbird Craps On Our Windshield »
Wow... I'm on FIRE this week... (helps to be on Spring Break!)
A National Championship in Basketball would be pretty freakin' awesome!
Roach is all alone in his thoughts.
So where is everybody else?
Nice videos and ongoing articles, 86.
Personally, I don't like being alone with a roach, unless I have a rolled-up newspaper or a shoe, at least! Nothing personal, Roach. Enjoy spring break.
I wish I fully shared the optimism about a likely deep run into the NCAA tnmt, although it definitely is possibly if they play smart ball and with the chemistry they showed in January and early Feb. They certainly have the talent to do so, as do at least a dozen teams. I guess I'll have a better sense where they're at after seeing whether they fully show up for the ACC tnmt.
Roger That!
Hopefully our Canes are cutting down the nets in Atlanta on April 8th.
Dave Matthews, Sting, Flo Rida, the Muse, Ludakris, Zac Brown band, and about 10 other acts are doing free concerts in Centennial Park during the Final Four weekend! It is going to be crazy up here! Miami has just as much right as anyone else to be here!
Go 'canes!
It's perfect. April 8th America time will be April 9th Japan time. My 49th birthday (I'm in denial about the 49th part). What a way that would be to celebrate my last 40s b-day! I want one of those crystal balls for my birthday present!
Weird night, cant sleep. Go Canes!
Canes need to make at least the sweet 16, damn it!
Miami Northwestern Athlete JoJo Robinson was at the Miami-Clemson game with coaches...we NEED to flip this kid.
I think the Sweet 16 is possible. It would be nice to get a #2 seed, but it seems to ride on the ACC tournament.
I can't stop raving about UM's schedule. UM never plays consecutive road games, has seven home games, and doesn't leave the state of Florida until October 17th. The last three games are all excellent: at Duke, vs. UVA, and at Pittsburgh.
A lot of wonderful possibilities, eh?
Winning Season - Check
Ticket to the Dance - Check
Respect - Check
ACC Champions - Check
Props - Check
Next stop ACC tourney, Showing out at the Dance, More Respect, Possible Title Run?
Go CANES!!!
Less than 2 months to go.....
Everyone do me a favor. Fill in the blank:
If Miami doesn't AT LEAST make it to the _____ round of the NCAA Tournament, I'll consider it a failure.
Happy B day Kiri!

That means this team has to go farther than EVER in the NCAA tourny. At least making the elite 8 or failure. Imo...

LOL I guess my expectations are lower than everyone else's, I consider this season a huge success in and of itself.
SEC pull: Mario Cristobal went from $522k as a Sun Belt HC to $475k as an SEC OL coach
Our OL coach makes about 170k
Voters got it WRONG! Erick Green over Larkin for MVP by 38-23 votes? LOL
I demand a recount/revote. Haha
Exactly CGNC.
I think Green deserved the MVP. He's hands down the best player in the conference & the most important player for his team. HE IS HIS TEAM.
The season has been a success but not a HUGE success. It'll be a huge success if they go deeper in the tourny than ever before. That's the goal & expectations of the team themselves. If that's what they expect as a team, that's what we should expect as fans...
Hassan, I almost spat up lunch when I read that!
Funny story,
So over the weekend I'm at a basketball game talking to Corn Elder's mom, and people start coming up to me congratulating me for going to Da U thinking I was Corn. LMAO
Maybe bcuz I had my Canes shirt on too??? LOL

Actually Sarasota, the party is taking place this weekend (and next weekend) in Miami (Ultra Music Festival). It goes from Friday through Sunday and will host the best DJ's in the world and they expect for 340K to attend.
Not winning the ACC tournament will be a failure to me, Elite 8 for the big dance
Eric Green deserved MVP. You never saw him disappear during games and was always a threat to score. Larkin disappeared too often, especially in these last 2 weeks which cost him the honor.
In my opinion I dont see how the ACC can name Green as the POY
Shane was the best player on the best team with shooting % edge to Shane
Shane also was a far better defender then Green was
A 13-18 4-14 with a POY makes no sense
In the 2 games against VT Shane put up better stats the Green did
Green deserved votes just not enough to walk away with POY
Green AVERAGED 25.4 ppg - leads the nation
Shane averages 13.7 ppg.
RB and Asst numbers are similar. Takes Shane 2 games to score what green does in 1.
Eric Green is the best player on the floor in every game I've seen VT play. Including Duke, Miami & NC State. You know he's the only player you have to stop & he still drops 20-30 points on the regular. He drives to rim, comes off screens, pulls up off the dribble & still dishes out a healthy number of assists. With out him, VT might not have won a single game...
I understand what youre saying about Green. He is a very good player
In my opinion more should go into it then just scoring
Shane can play D while the few games I watched VT Green couldnt guard me and im a 46 year old slightly out of shape bum
If you factor in all parts of their games I feel Shane has the better overall game
I cant seem to give the nod to someone whose team is 13-18 4-14 in league play
Green is getting robbed of Naismith talk bc his team is so bad. Put him on Miami, he is NPoTY.
And Miami would be undefeated and #1 with him on the court.
Lol! He rob you before you bounce the ball twice. He's guarding the opponents best player & still leading the NATION in scoring. You're smoking some potent shyt dawg. Lol!
I havent seen all of VTs games so I cant make an accurate read on his defensive play
I just know that in the games I did watch he was a no show on the defensive side
Scoring is great but when you score 25 then give up 30 to the players your guarding is a washout
Winning the ACC with Green=no chance
Without Shane we dont win the ACC
In no way does his deserve to be considered a NPOY candidate
You say VT might of lost every game the played without Green. Well they finished last with Green so nothing changed
Im not denying that he is a very good player. Im just saying he doesnt deserve ACCPOY

Barry Jackson:
### UM linebacker Eddie Johnson continues to hurt his chances of getting back on the Hurricanes football team. Johnson has left school, at least temporarily, and is not enrolled this semester, UM tells us.
Johnson, who was third on the team with 59 tackles and had a team-leading 7.5 tackles for loss, remains on indefinite suspension.
UM people are highly skeptical about his chances of being reinstated, though Al Golden has not ruled it out. His missteps include tardiness, not showing up and other violations.

Where will the 2013 ACC regular-season champion Miami Hurricanes play during March Madness? The University of Miami and Buffalo Wild Wings will host the Official Selection Sunday Watch Party from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Sunset Place location across from the University of Miami campus.
Sebastian the Ibis and the Hurricanes cheerleaders, with WQAM, the flagship station for the Miami Hurricanes, will be broadcasting live on location. If the No. 1 seed @CanesHoops team plays in the ACC Championship game, the team and staff will not be at the selection show event.
Doors and an expanded patio area will be open for the FREE event at 5 p.m. and the NCAA Basketball Championship Selection Show will air at 6 p.m. on CBS. Fans in attendance will be eligible for giveaways, purchase 2013-14 season tickets and renew their Hurricane Club memberships.
Al needs to quit dicken around with E.J. He had no problem getting rid of Paul and Finnie. He ain't no dam prima donna, so I say let him take the long walk and find somebody who wants to waear the uni proudly. We ain't got no time for no Tudes!
The kid is a distraction...He waisted all his chances and the possibility of going to the NFL via NFLU...It's all between the ears...Good luck EJ.

There IT is right there.
Congratulations to Coach Larranaga, Larkin, Scott and the team for all the awards they are getting. This is a season I'll remember forever. Still three more nets to cut down though! Can't wait for the weekend.
Canes were down 9-0 in the 3rd
Big Jim needs some Viagra.
The Canes have cut the lead to 9-4. But playing lousy today.
11-4 Illinois State in the 4th
Larkin = most important player on the best ACC team.
Green = most important player on the worst ACC team.
I bet Green didn't sell a single ticket this year either and their Duke game didn't have a front row seat on the road for sale the night before tip-off on the secondary market with a $9,999.99 asking price like it did for the Miami game.
All these media awards are instantly slanted against any Hurricane contenders in every sport so I'm not surprised they got it wrong. If The Pimp didn't have that Final Four run already on his resume I'd bet he wouldn't have won ACC COY either with the same results at UM this year.
I just listened to Jim Morris on WQAM interview from last night and i felt to sleep...This guy is done.
Just a shame about EJ44... guess I'll need to find a NEW defensive LOF at the scrimmage in Naples this year. (I found EJ44 in Ft. Myers last year.) Best of luck Eddie...

Trademark protection during the launch of new gTLDs
Trademarks enjoy a special level of protection under new gTLDs. Every new extension is required to give trademark holders the right to the preferred registration of their trademarks during the so-called Sunrise Phase.
Sunrise is the phase of at least 30 days following the launch of a new gTLD in which trademark holders can register protected trademark keywords as domains. The general public will not be allowed to register during this phase.
Registering a trademark with the Trademark Clearinghouse is required in order to submit an application for the preferred registration of a domain name during the Sunrise Phase of a new gTLD.
As soon as a trademark has been registered in the Clearinghouse, and documents supporting the use of the trademark have been submitted ("Proof of use"), the trademark can be used in the Sunrise Phase of every new gTLD.
Trademark Claims
Be notified when others register domains matching your trademarks
Trademark holders can begin using the Trademark Claims Service at the start of the Open Registration Phase of each new gTLD. When a domain registration is submitted, this service verifies whether a matching entry has already been submitted to the Clearinghouse. If so, the following will take place:
- Warning sent to the domain registrant: The party attempting to register the domain receives a warning message before the registration completes, notifying them that a corresponding trademark has been registered with the Clearinghouse and that the registration of the domain could potentially violate intellectual property rights.
- Notification sent to the trademark holder: If the domain registrant decides to complete the domain registration, the trademark holder will receive be notified.
The Trademark Claims Service is expected to be available during the first 90 days of the launch of each new gTLD.
Which trademarks are eligible?
- Registered trademarks
To be eligible, a trademark registration must be of at least national effect (includes multi-national trademarks) and must be fully registered, and not revoked, at the time the order is submitted for verification.
- Court validated marks
To be eligible, a court-validated mark must refer to a mark that has been validated by a court of law or other judicial proceeding at the national level, such as unregistered (common law) marks and/or well-known marks.
- Marks protected by
statute or treaty
These marks may include, but are not limited to geographical indications and designations of origin.
The following marks will not be accepted:
- Trademark applications or applications for protection of a mark;
- Registered trademarks containing a Top Level Domain ending, such as the trademark "icann.org" or ".icann"
- Registered trademarks starting with or containing a dot (.), such as ".example"
- Registered trademarks that do not contain any letters, words, numerals, or DNS-valid characters
- Registered trademarks that were subject to successful invalidation, cancellation, opposition or rectification proceedings
How can I register a trademark with the Trademark Clearinghouse?
PEWEB/EPAG will process the registration of a trademark with the Clearinghouse for your trademarks and for your customers' trademarks as well.
The TMCH has opened for trademark registrations on March 26, 2013. We are currently implementing our automated PEWEB/EPAG Trademark Gateway Interface (ETGI) to the Clearinghouse. Until this is complete, the following order process will apply:
- Please use (for the time being) the TMCH order form, which can be filled out on your computer, and send the signed and completed form to us via fax or e-mail.
- You will receive an invoice for the application fee. PEWEB/EPAG Resellers will be invoiced through their existing customer accounts.
- Upon receipt of payment, PEWEB/EPAG will check the order for obvious errors before submitting the trademark registration order to the Clearinghouse.
- The Clearinghouse will verify the mark information.
- If further documents or records are required for verification, the Clearinghouse will request these from PEWEB/EPAG. We will then request these documents or records from your specified contact person in order to return the required documents to the Clearinghouse within 20 days.
- After successful verification, the trademark will be entered into the Clearinghouse database and a Signed Mark Declaration (SMD) will be created.
- The SMD will be required in order to apply for domains in Sunrise Phases. PEWEB/EPAG will store the SMD file and will make this available to the customer upon request.
|Fee structure
|Registration of 1 mark in the Trademark Clearinghouse
|1 year
|201.11 €
|Registration of 1 mark in the Trademark Clearinghouse
|3 years
|534.31 €
|Registration of 1 mark in the Trademark Clearinghouse
|5 years
|867.51 €
Our recommendation: Be early and start to submit your mark to the Clearinghouse now! The registration period of the mark in the TMCH begins only once the first Sunrise phase starts. By submitting trademarks early, you make sure to have the registration process completed by the time the first Sunrise starts without any additional cost.
We recommend to register a minimum period of 3 years to make sure the registration in the Clearinghouse covers the whole length of the introduction period of new gTLDs.
The fee mentioned here includes the verification and, where successful, registration of one (1) trademark with the Trademark Clearinghouse for the requested timeframe. A registration includes protection for up to 10 trademark keywords, or labels, which are strings directly generated according to an algorithm. Application fees cannot be refunded, regardless of the success or failure of the application. If, before being submitted to the TMCH, the registration order for a trademark is determined to be invalid, this trademark can be replaced by a valid trademark (one time only).
Please note, submitting pre-registration orders for domain names differs from submitting trademarks to the TMCH. Pre-registration orders would only demonstrate the intent to register a domain and will not actually reserve that domain at the registry.
Pre-registration orders can only be submitted during the Open Registration phase of a new gTLD Launch, which occurs after any applicable Sunrise and Landrush Phases. PEWEB/EPAG will accept pre-registration orders for specific new gTLDs once an exact launch schedule has been published for that TLD.

New test method for fuel economy and emissions What is WLTP?
The European Union has developed a new test called the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) which came into effect on 1st September 2017 for new type approvals and 1 September 2018 for all vehicles. This will replace the current New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) test procedure for establishing the official Fuel Consumption and CO2 emissions of new cars.
The new WLTP laboratory test will also be supplemented by an emissions test that measures pollutants directly on the road: RDE (Real Driving Emissions) and was brought in to the new testing regime to provide a closer representation of 'real-world' fuel consumption and CO2 figures and provide model specific values at the point of sale.
Find out more
What is RDE?
This takes place on real roads, the RDE test compliments lab tests by measuring that a car delivers low pollutant emissions on the road.
Real driving emission (RDE) tests will measure the pollutants, such as NOx, emitted by cars while driven on the road. RDE will not replace laboratory tests, such as the current NEDC and the future WLTP but it will be additional to them. Europe is the first region in the world to introduce such on-the-road testing, marking a major leap in the testing of car emissions.
Find out more
Introducing greater clarity
Everyday tests, realistic results
The new WLTP tests will ensure that lab measurements now better reflect the situations you will experience in everyday life. This means that fuel consumption and emissions values displayed for new cars are a far better representation of what you are actually likely to achieve.
At Toyota, we welcome the change to WLTP, which will provide our customers with a more accurate basis for calculating fuel economy and emissions. As a leader in clean mobility, we've spent decades researching how to make vehicles that are kinder to the environment, producing technologies such as hybrid that have proved their value in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and helping the move towards a low carbon society.
"Hybrid is the backbone of our powertrain programme and will help us cut our vehicle carbon emissions by 90% by 2050 compared to 2010."

Slovak Collecting Society Sends Village Invoice For Singing Folk Song About Itself
from the same-old-story dept
Performing rights societies probably don't have the best reputations here on Techdirt, but just when you think they can't get any more outrageous in their demands, they do. Here are two stories from the Slovak Republic, both involving SOZA, the Slovak Performing and Mechanical Rights Society:
The recent case of the local village of Pohorela being charged EUR 62.40 [about $75] by copyright association SOZA because children sang copyrighted songs on Mothers' Day has to be one of the most absurd cases of copyright being enforced in Slovakia.
Although the first paragraph mentions "copyrighted songs", the Facebook page referred to talks about "our folk songs", which would presumably not be in copyright (Slovak original.) In either case, it seems a bit extreme to charge for children singing to their own mothers. The second story seems more clear-cut: SOZA is trying to charge a village for singing a "well known" folk song about itself, which adds insult to injury.
TheDaily first drew attention to the Pohorela case by sharing it on Facebook at the end of May, but the case is not unique. Other villages and towns may also receive the same kinds of bills, like the one sent to the village of Helpa, which is being charged possibly for singing the well-known folk song celebrating the village called "To ta Helpa!", for instance.
The article quoted above notes that this is not the only problem with SOZA's invoicing habits:
Cinemas in particular are not happy with the fees, which are charged regardless of what film is showing, if there is any music in the film, and even though copyright fees are covered already in the film rental.
Paying for something you didn't have, or being forced to pay twice: sounds like collecting societies are the same everywhere.

Keegan Michel has won 37-of-61 faceoffs this spring (.607).
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Jeff Cohen and Daniel Eipp each amassed five points, while Keegan Michel won 15-of-22 faceoffs and collected seven ground balls, but the No. 20 Harvard men's lacrosse team dropped a road game at Georgetown, 11-10, Saturday afternoon.
Cohen and Eipp each tallied three goals and dished out two assists for the Crimson, which falls to 2-2 overall on the season. In net for Harvard, Harry Krieger recorded 12 saves, while Georgetown netminder Matt Winter turned aside 12 shots. Harvard outshot Georgetown (2-1), 31-26, led in ground balls, 40-28, and claimed 16-of-25 faceoffs, but the Hoyas scored on 5-of-6 man-up opportunities and went 25-of-28 on clear attempts.
Cohen assisted on goals by Alex White (11:21) and Stephen Jahelka (2:55) of the first, but the Crimson trailed the Hoyas, 3-2, after the first 15 minutes. With 13:36 left in the first half, Kevin Vaughan ripped a shot past Winter, tying the game, 3-3.
After Georgetown went up 5-3, Harvard's Will Walker answered just 42 seconds later, scoring off a pass from Daniel Eipp at the 10:47 mark, cutting the deficit to 5-4. With 19 ticks left on the clock in the second, Georgetown's Travis Comeau slipped a shot past Krieger giving the Hoyas a 6-4 In advantage heading into halftime.
In the opening moments of the third, Cohen got Harvard within a goal, 6-5, at 14:05. Eipp and Cohen followed with back-to-back man-up tallies at 10:49 and 10:05 respectively, as the Crimson knotted the game, 7-7.
With Georgetown holding a 9-7 edge in the fourth quarter, Keegan Michel won the opening faceoff of the frame and sent a pass to Eipp, who found the back of the net at 14:53, making it a one-goal game again. Eipp scored his third goal of the game with 10:53 to go in the fourth, tying the contest, 9-9.
After the Hoyas reclaimed the lead, 10-9, Georgetown's Zack Angel notched the game's next goal with 7:05 to play, giving the Hoyas a two-goal edge, 11-9. With 4:45 remaining, Cohen tallied his third score, bringing Harvard back to within one, 11-10.
Harvard remains on the road to visit No. 9/11 Duke Monday, March 12 at 7 p.m.

#1 Settlement in NY lawsuit over NBC's 'Predator'06-26-2008, 10:52 AM
Settlement in NY lawsuit over NBC's 'Predator'
NEW YORK (AP) -- NBC Universal has settled a $105 million lawsuit brought by a woman who claimed a televised sex sting by "Dateline NBC: To Catch A Predator" drove her brother to kill himself.
"The matter has been amicably resolved to the satisfaction of both parties," said a statement released by both sides. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Patricia Conradt's lawsuit had claimed her brother, a suburban Dallas prosecutor, fatally shot himself after he was accused of engaging in a sexually explicit online chat with an adult posing as a 13-year-old boy.
The lawsuit claimed NBC "steamrolled" authorities to arrest Louis William Conradt Jr. after telling police he failed to show up at a sting operation 35 miles away.
NBC was working with the activist group Perverted Justice on the sting, in which people impersonating children established online chats with men and tried to lure them to a house, where they were met by TV cameras and police.
In February, a federal judge issued a scathing ruling in the case, saying a jury might conclude the network "crossed the line from responsible journalism to irresponsible and reckless intrusion into law enforcement."

Sex offenders frequently attempt suicide when they are caught in the act. I don't see how this is NBC's liability.
He should have thought about the embarrassment before he decided to troll for underage sex partners.

The Academic Tradition in Europe & Canada, 1700-1900
From Rome to Utrecht, European artists in the 17th and early 18th century created the emotionally charged work of the Baroque era. In reaction to the Protestant Reformation, the Roman Catholic Church strove to entice believers back to the fold with gripping and beautiful vignettes of biblical drama. Palaces in mid-18th century France, Italy, and Austria brimmed with Rococo design, typified by intricate curvilinear patterns and soft colours celebrating aristocratic luxury. Elsewhere in the predominantly Protestant north, depictions of luxuriant and exotic still lifes, pastoral landscapes, and suspended views of daily life, directly appealed to a burgeoning middle class clientele.
During this time art academies were established throughout European centres. Originally private artist associations, academies developed into formal state-sanctioned institutions. They eventually supplanted the Medieval and Renaissance guild system in overseeing and regulating art instruction across the continent and in Great Britain. Neoclassical artists demonstrated a resurgent interest in Antiquity as a celebration of the 18th century's scientific progress and rational enlightenment. Through the ensuing 19th century, Romantics reacted against what they saw as the overvaluing of reason at the expense of human emotion, while Realism extolled the unidealized and mundane in depictions of the often hardscrabble existence many people experienced. Movements in France, Holland, and England relayed these sensibilities in different ways, through a concern for naturalistic detail, an interest in medieval legend, or brooding, but noble, depictions of rural life.
Meanwhile, in the northern colonies and territories of North America, an artistic tradition slowly began to emerge. Honorific portraiture and charming genre scenes were two popular subjects portrayed by Canada's first professional artists, reflecting the tastes of their patrons. With the founding in 1880 of the Royal Canadian Academy and increasing numbers of Canadian-born artists studying in Europe, the seeds of a new international outlook were planted in Canada.
