text: Mutual funds are not the only way to invest in domestic indexes. Increasingly popular are so-called SPDRs or Standard & Poor's Depository Receipts, which track indexes just like a fund but trade like a stock on the American Stock Exchange. Convenience and flexibility are their hallmark. Vis-à-vis mutual funds, SPDRs have some advantages. They can: Trade at any brokerage firm Be sold instantly in a falling market, not at the close of the day Be margined at a brokerage firm Result in slightly lower capital gains Indexers with closet day trading tendencies or general nervousness about the market should find SPDRs appealing. It is possible to get in and out of these products many times each day. In a volatile market the knowledgeable or lucky investor could prosper, and an anxious investor can find comfort knowing it is easy to exit the market. But this is not typical of index investors, who tend to buy and hold. Flavors Various flavors of SPDRs (and the next-of-kin, Diamonds) include: SPDRs (symbol: SPY), plain vanilla S&P 500 MidCap SPDRs (symbol: MDY), follows S&P MidCap 400 Select Sector SPDRs (9 funds, 9 symbols), which carve up the S&P 9 different ways Diamonds (symbol: DIA), which tracks the Dow Jones Industrial Average Like an index mutual fund, the above instruments track their indexes closely but not perfectly. There is a little-known built-in profitability niche for arbitrage experts with lots of cash, but AMEX specifically refrains from this activity. [In a previous version of this article we mistakenly said AMEX also participated]. The arbitrageur can create and sell new SPDRs in blocks of 50,000 shares when they are selling at a premium and buy back and unwind them when they are selling at a discount. The profits from this arbitrage activity are unknown. On the other hand, this keeps the instrument stable. Technically, SPDRs give the investor an ownership interest in a Trust established by AMEX where stocks purchased with the investor's money are held. Are they low cost? The plain vanilla and mid-cap versions and Diamonds are comparable to index funds, the sector SPDRs are a bit pricey for any large cap index. [In a previous version of this article I mistakenly criticized Diamonds for high expense ratios]. There are two costs to SPDRs: costs to buy and sell them (like any stock), and costs to operate them. Purchasing a block of SPDRs can cost as little as $10 at an online discount brokerage, which amortized over time or over a large account is insignificant. But for a very small portfolio held only a short time, $10 in and $10 out will have some effect. In addition, the following are estimated annual operating expenses based on recent history: SPDR .18% MidCap SPDRs .25% Select Sector SPDRs .65% Diamonds .18% AMEX actually ran up much higher expenses in starting up Diamonds but did not pass them on to investors [correction from previous version of this article.] ©1999 IndexFunds.com Step 10SpdrsCostSectorArchive Previous Article Next Article All Articles About Index Fund Advisors Index Fund Advisors, Inc.

Brie Larson And Alex Greenwald Call Engagement Off
Actress Brie Larson has a lot of good things coming her way, what with her new role as Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The eponymously titled movie is Larson's entry into the MCU's Avenger's. However, the actress seems to be having some trouble in her personal life. Larson was engaged to musician Alex Greenwald for almost three years, but something must have gone wrong as the two have called it quits! A source told People.com, "They have taken a step back from their engagement for the time being but they remain close."
The 29-year-old actress exchanged rings with the Phantom Planet front-man back in 2016 in Tokyo. The two have been romantically linked since 2013 and have stayed together till recently. The two were even seen together at all the events during the 2015 awards season, when Larson received many awards for her work in her thriller flick which was released that past year, Room. The actress accepted her award at the Academy Award in 2016, giving Greenwald a shout-out during her acceptance speech. She talked about her Room co-star as well, saying, "Jacob Tremblay (has been) my partner through this in every way possible." She further added, "My real partner, Alex Greenwald, I love you."

Brian's 2017 Year in Review
2017 has been a great year for New Hampshire beer. 2017 has also been a pretty epic year for Let's Talk Beer. I wanted to take some time to sit down and type out my thoughts about the year in a ranked fashion. It's something I have never done, rank breweries, beers, etc. because I don't take the time to think about this stuff. I created some categories that hopefully you will see myself, Ben and Jeff talk about in a longer form podcast at the end of 2018. For now, here are my rankings/lists for 2017 in New Hampshire beer.
Disclaimer: These opinions are mine and mine alone. They don't represent Ben or Jeff's thoughts. If I haven't been to a certain brewery in 2017, chances are it won't be on these lists.
Top NH Non Beer
Yes I like beer. But I always try to get out of my comfort zone and try other things. Here are my top 3 New Hampshire Non Beers.
3. Von Humboldt's Natur Wasser – Tamworth Distilling
Tamworth Distilling introduced me to the cordial. This sweet and tart spirit gave me the courage to continue to explore more into this style. I need to try more of Tamworth's cordials in 2018.
2. Tamworth Garden White Mountain Gin – Tamworth Distilling
Oh hey it's Tamworth again. I really enjoy gin and tonics. I may have 4 or 5 a year but I stumbled upon a gin that may make me put down the beer a little more often. Tamworth is back at it again, this time with a gin, a hopped gin. Not only is it super refreshing and unique, the bottle artwork will make any home bar look super fancy.
1. Winter Rye – North Country Hard Cider
There truly is no better cider in my mind than North Country. Constant innovation to the same old cider is always on the minds of Silas, Ivan and Ron. Winter Rye is just one of their many styles of cider that stuck with me throughout the year. This cider aged in Rye Whiskey Barrels is the warmest hug you could ask for.
Top 45 Min out of NH Brewery
I limit this category to breweries I can get to out of state within 45 mins from my house. Just my way of acknowledging breweries close to home.
3 – Notch Brewing – Salem, MA
Jeff and I visited Notch a couple times this year. I wish I lived closer to Notch, I wish Notch was closer to me. Regardless they are doing big things in Salem and are close enough for me to make a quick trip for a liter of beer, pretzels and some ski ball.
2 – Tributary Brewing – Kittery, ME
The man that started it all for me and my love of beer, Tod Mott, continues to impress me with his creations coming out of Tributary. Some feel like welcome deja-vu flavors from my time living above the Portsmouth Brewery and all are styles that sway from the norm. With the addition of brewers of Ian and Ian I always look forward to what they come up with and watching them have fun with beer.
1 – Brewery Silvaticus – Amesbury, MA
This brewery confuses me in the best way. We'll get to it in other categories, but in a year where I have visited new breweries to find out the beer needs a lot of work, a lot of work, Brewery Silvaticus completely came out with a bang showing me new breweries don't have to taste like someone's first homebrew. "True to style" is what I tell everyone when I and singing the praises of this brewery. Farmhouse Ales, Rauchbiers, Lagers shine bright at this brewery and are backed by decades of experience in the brewing industry. I don't mind if you stop reading this to go to Amesbury, I encourage it. I can not wait to get back to Brewery Silvaticus many times in 2018.
Please Stop in 2018
This category is all about things I wish I didn't see in 2017 that I hope dies down a little in 2018. I'll try to avoid long soapbox rants but boy there are some things I could write a lot about. I'll save it for the podcast.
3 – 'Worship Me' Beer Haul Photos
You know the photos, the same beer fridge filled with one or two styles of the same 2 or 3 breweries beer. We get it.
2 – New England IPA
If you listen to the podcast you know my stance on these. Don't care for them. In and out of the state, brewers have attempted to be a part of this craze by putting words like 'juicy' and 'hazy' into their beer descriptions. A lot of these beers fall short and could end up closing a brewery. Brew styles you like, really crush those styles, an then make room for a New England IPA. It's not as easy to brew as you think.
1 – Bad Beer
I'll be blunt. There is some bad beer in New Hampshire. I don't mean beer that I personally don't like, I'm talking about beer that from a quality standpoint is bad, bad, bad. It's tough for someone like me who has been preaching New Hampshire beer for 7 years to say the state has bad beer but it does. I believe 2018 will be a wake up call for breweries new and old in New Hampshire. Breweries are opening up clinging on to the craft beer train and it isn't working out for some. I know every brewery can't have a Brewery Silvaticus type effect on me (See above), but if you are to open a brewery you have to know how to brew. Don't use your brewery as a place to start homebrewing. I have talked to multiple long time brewers in the state and they are seeing the same thing and it in turn will make every NH brewery look bad. I don't want to see this spread, so I am hoping to spearhead a movement of constructive feedback. I have failed by not giving honest on the spot feedback and it is something I have already started to work on because of the "beer" I have tasted in the state this year. We are too nice as consumers. I've been to many breweries filled with locals and friends of the brewer/owner saying this is the best beer they have ever had when it is infected beyond belief. There is still hope for these brewers, they just have to be open to feedback and learning. If you are not, you will not succeed. More on Let's Talk Beer's stop bad beer campaign later.
Top NH Breweries of 2017
I have been to at least 40 of the 60+ breweries operating in the state of New Hampshire this year. This is something I have never done but here is my ranked list of my personal Top 10 Breweries in NH. If I didn't visit a brewery it won't be on this list and there are breweries I wish I had visited to give them a chance to be on this list but there is always 2018. This category encompasses everything from how I like the beer, to how I like the space/vibe. Here goes nothing.
10 – Moat Mountain Brewing Co. – North Conway, NH
I always have a great time when I visit Moat Mountain. They are also one of the only breweries who I consistently buy six packs of because I know I will be getting a solid beer every time from them. I always try to keep a Czech Pils on hand and they really hit a home run with Call it a Day IPA.
9 – Litherman's Limited- Concord, NH
I have visited a lot of breweries this year and none has raised my curiosity more than Lithermans Limited in Concord. Brewers Mike and Doc are brewing what they want, ignoring trends and starting new ones. Their new expansion will allow them to to spread their funky vibes throughout the state. Despite the somewhat cheesy (although I like them) beer names, you can trust a lot of care goes into the beers coming out of Lithermans. I'll be making more trips to Concord in 2018, that's for sure.
8 – 7th Settlement Brewery – Dover, NH
One of the breweries I have visited the most in 2017 is 7th Settlement. I eat lunch with Ben there most weeks and I am a mug member there. Brewer Nate has the best smile in the biz and beer to match. I recently had a Milk Stout of his that made me weak at the knees.
7 – Deciduous Brewing Company- Newmarket, NH
2017 was an awesome year to be a Deciduous fan. We were treated to beers representing every color of the beer rainbow, cans to go and full pours at the brewery. One of the best dark beers in New Hampshire can be found here as well (Renascence). If 2018 is even half as awesome for Deciduous as the last year was, we are in for great things from Newmarket's own.
6 – Garrison City Beerworks – Dover, NH
Garrison has seen a shift for the better in 2017. There was a time or to where I would get a flight of beer and each beer would be the same color. This year Nicole and team have been hard at working making solid beer, collaborating with some of the top brewers in the area, and introducing new flavors and styles to a town that is seeing a massive explosion in craft beer. There are times now where I don't want to drink my flight of beer, because it looks so damn beautiful. Luckily it tastes as good as it looks.
5 – Bad Lab Beer Co – Somersworth, NH
The one thing Bad Lab does that a lot of breweries don't is constantly educate. Ever since re-opening doors in October, Bad lab has had a beer school every week, inviting anyone to learn from brewers Chuck, Edgar and Cathi while drinking something tapped that day. A little beer knowledge goes a long way here, as they have 14 beers on tap of varying styles to choose from.
4 – Portsmouth Brewery – Portsmouth, NH
My love for Portsmouth Brewery is known by all. Jeff and I lived above it at a time (separately) and my first craft beer in the state was there. Portsmouth Brewery has seen some brewer turnover since Tod and Tyler left, but Matt and Maxine haven't missed a beat and are making really good beer. I am always excited when I get a chance to visit to see what new beer they have thought up or to see what fan favorite has returned. In a very IPA heavy culture they have one of the most underrated IPAs in New England in Torn and Frayed and Surrender the Flow, not to mention one of my all time favorites, Night Nurse Black Rye IPA.
3 – Schilling / Resilience – Littleton, NH
Ever since I discovered Schilling I wanted to move to Littleton so I could have Schilling every day. Some of the best beer in the state, if not the country, is coming out of up state New Hampshire. The only reason why Schilling isn't #1 on this list is because I just can't get up there as much as I want and I very much hope for the day I can get their beer on tap in Southern NH. While you won't find a bad beer here, you will find some of the nicest folks, tastiest food, and some of the best damn beer that NH has to offer.
2 – Earth Eagle Brewings – Portsmouth, NH
I remember the first home brew club meeting I ever went to. Two guys were passing around this oddly labeled bottle of a beer they called "Chaga Groove" and it was unlike any other beer I tasted. Smash cut a bunch of years and those two guys have my #2 brewery on this list. Alex and Butch continue to do things their way and it's been working since the beginning. Sure they have gruits with weird and whacky ingredients, but it's the behind the scenes research that goes into those beers that makes them the best. Anyone can put mustard seed, sweet gale or [insert odd sounding name] root to a beer, but Butch boils up something that somehow some way makes it drinkable and I like going on this exploration of flavors with him. Alex not only makes one of my favorite beers of all time (Nebraska), but is a strong advocate for proper education when it comes to brewing. Even though Alex and Butch are in the big leagues they still have one hell of a time in the homebrew scene. These guys rule.
1 – Liars Bench Beer Company – Portsmouth, NH
When i sat down to write this list I knew #1 was a a no brainer. Liars Bench continues to be the brewery I tell anyone passing through the Portsmouth area to visit. If there is one brewery to visit in the state of New Hampshire, Liars Bench is waiting for you. It is very rare for a brewery to continually change up their tap list with different styles and have them all be technically sound and ridiculously good. I know when I visit Liars Bench I will be educated on what beer should taste like. As often as I visit I am still impressed with how often new beers show up on tap. The dedication to the craft shines bright at Liars Bench and they are my #1 brewery in NH.
Top NH Beers of 2017
Last but not least, here are my top 5 NH Beers in 2017. If you can find them, get them.
5 – Philistoned Grisette – Chapel + Main – Dover, NH
4 – Bagpipes Scotch Ale – Bad Lab Beer Co. – Somersworth, NH
3 – Kölsch – Henniker Brewing Company – Henniker, NH
2 – Nebraska – Earth Eagle – Portsmouth, NH
1 – Night Nurse – Portsmouth Brewery – Portsmouth, NH
And that's it! It has been another awesome year for New Hampshire beer. I had a couple other categories in mind but I will save them for a podcast. There are not only 10 great breweries in New Hampshire, there's a lot. Myself, Ben and Jeff will continue to spread the good word and hoping to figure out this "not so good beer" we have been noticing from more than a few breweries in the state. We will need your help, stay tuned.
Happy New Year!

Last week, on the 23rd of June, one of the most important political decisions in our life-time was made, a decision that divided political parties, families, regions and the nation as a whole. When the result came through that the nation has decided to leave the EU, most people were shocked.
Many assumed that the remain campaign was going to win and there was nothing to worry about. What they forgot to consider was the increase in political participation in recent times with the rise of new technology and the internet.
The game hasn't just changed in business, its changed in politics too. New tactics were used on both sides to gain exposure to and influence voters. What was one of the most powerful tools in the leave campaign's arsenal?
Animated Explainer Videos.
Regardless of your political views, you have to admire the fact that the video above was a very smart and cost-effective move for the leave campaign and was one of the key drivers of voters switching from 50/50 to voting to leave the EU.
The remain campaign failed to capitalise on this new technique, and it cost them dearly. Don't be afraid of new changes, embrace them. Read here about how we predicted Roy Hodgson's inability to embrace change would cost England in the Euros.
You can read here about why these videos are so powerful. Thinking about getting a video for your business or campaign? Read here about all they key aspects of making an explainer video.
If you want to learn more or have a chat with us about how explainer videos could help you, visit www.platinumvideos.uk to see some examples, read up and contact us.

The developers have confirmed this time that they gave their heads a little fool on April 1. No matter how. Based on the battle royale games, the Path of Exile has been reformed, and the classic gameplay can not be achieved at this time.
The creators exposed themselves for even a 1.5 minute video for the announcement. The recipe remained. 100 players, one island, one dinner, lots of painful deaths. The countdown, however, is going to be 20 surviving, but twisted on and even then they can join new challengers to the game. We do not know how long the extra gameplay will be available, though we believe it will return to the well-known style within 1-2 days. One try is worth it.

"Tree-top walkways are a beautiful and breath-taking way to experience the tree canopy and enjoy a birds-eye-view of the woodland, a whole family experience. If you have two or three trees that zig-zag through a garden or woodland setting, we can create a 100m woodland walkway 12m up in the tree canopy with an entrance each end through our suspended big, chunky 4-sided Rope Ladder, with 'floating' woodland decks or platforms it is a great alternative or addition to a treehouse." - Paul Cameron featured on Subaru's 8 Adrenaline-pumping activities you've got to try

|The tea survived the summer and its blossoms have finally burst open for the first time.
Camellia sinensis
|Asparagus berries (poisonous). The spears grew over 6ft tall this year and are just starting to die back.
To me they look like baubels on a Christmas tree.
|Tiny inconspicuous choko flower - I only discovered them this week. It's the first time I've grown chokos and have to say they're not the rampant ramblers I'd been led to believe they were. Unless that's still to come of course.
|Baby choko starting to develop in the leaf axil.
|The Colliwats are back with a vengeance. There are at the very least 10 pumpkins on this vigorous vine that has smothered the chook fence.
|Cosmos. Simple and white just the way I like my flowers.
|Peas - snow, sugarsnap and telephone. You can't beat peas fresh from the garden. I'll never buy shop peas again.

3 Essential Guidelines for Recovering after Parathyroid Removal
If you have a parathyroid disorder, your doctor might recommend the removal of the problematic gland. This surgical process is primarily used for dealing with hyperparathyroidism. This condition causes the enlargement or excess growth of the gland. If the overgrown parathyroid is left in place, it could cause overproduction of the parathyroid hormone. Over time, the excess hormone could cause numerous problems, including kidney stones, bone brittleness and nervous system malfunctions.

There are hundreds of miles of trails for hiking near Winter Park, Colorado. From a short, half-mile jaunt, to a full-day endeavor, there are plenty of hiking trail options for hikers of all skills and backgrounds. See a few of our favorites, below, listed in order from easiest to most difficult.
Discovery Trail – an easy, one-mile loop with sections of boardwalk over wetland areas. Wheelchair accessible.
Fraser River Trail – this easy trail is mostly paved, with a hidden dirt section in Fraser that is great for leisurely strolls and bike rides.
Monarch Lake Loop – an easy four-mile loop that circles a beautiful lake outside of Granby.
Creekside & Flume Loop – these two trails outside of Fraser connect to make a moderately easy five-mile loop and is a great beginner mountain bike ride, too.
Jim's Creek Trail – a moderate, out-and-back hike leading up towards Parry's Peak, you can take this trail up to five miles each way, or just go as far as you want.
Columbine Lake Trail – For a moderate hike with a few difficult sections, Columbine Lake is a reward well worth the effort. Six miles round trip.
Click here for maps and more detail on all of the trails above.
For more ideas, there is a great book called "Hiking Grand County," which is sold at several locations in Winter Park and Fraser. You can usually find a copy at Rocky Mountain Roastery and Blue Sky Shoes. The Roastery is a coffee shop with two locations: the Alco Shopping Center in Fraser and in the Park Plaza next to Rudi's Deli in downtown Winter Park. Blue Sky Shoes is also in downtown Winter Park, across from Cooper Creek Square.
The Winter Park Visitor Center is also a great source of information about hiking trails in Winter Park. Just stop by and they'll set you up with maps, advisories and more helpful tips. They're open 9am to 5pm every day and are located across the street from McDonald's in downtown Winter Park. Look for the huge, bronze moose statue out front.

Los Angeles Locksmith
With the fear of burglaries, many people seek to protect their wealth and belongings, and take their first steps by raising the security measures in their homes and businesses. Locksmiths are often the people who are called to perform these services. Locksmiths perform rekeying services for clients who want to use a new key for their locks, without changing out their locks, a process which prevents previous key owners from gaining access beyond these doors. Many useful services can be provided by your local locksmith. He or she can help can help you choose the right kind of safe for your home or business and provide assistance with the installation. They can also provide you with new keys and duplicates, as well as picking your locks when you have been locked out of your home or business. While locksmiths are capable of helping out with security in businesses and homes, they are also equipped to work with cars as well.
If you need to get a replacement key or some duplicate keys for your automobile, your car locksmith in Los Angeles can help you out. Locksmiths are equipped with far greater technologies for key cutting than the hardware store, and can cut keys more complex than door keys. You no longer need to go out to the car dealership to get a new key for your car. You also do not have to spend as much money as you would on a brand new key compared to a replacement key from the locksmith. They are capable of cutting keys for older cars as well as newer cars that use transponder keys, which implement a computer chip in the key to transmit signals to the car allowing for use of the key. Locksmiths are trained and knowledgeable of many cars' makes and models and their keys as well as being able to program their transponder keys to function flawlessly.

Tree Advisory Board
Meeting Minutes
June 9, 2010
Mary Lou Jennings, Helen Marcarelli, Elsie Mueller, Joe Parsio, Joyce Prentis,
Jack Kelly (Park & Recreation Board Liaison)
Treasury Report
There was no report.
The minutes from the May 12, 2010 meeting were read and approved.
Old Business
Baltimore Corridor Project: The Board continued to discuss the caring of the trees planted on Baltimore Ave. in East Lansdowne and Upper Darby. Tree Vitalize has a summer 2010 Tree Care Mini Grant Program. $1,000 would be provided towards wages to pay two students for 10 hours/week for 10 weeks to care for the recently planted trees. Mary Lou has submitted the application by the June 4th deadline and contacted East Lansdowne to provide someone to oversee the project. The students could start June 28th. There was also the possibility of the CAP volunteers to do the watering or provide the person to oversee the Grant Program students.
Since East Lansdowne did not have money budgeted for gator bags for the trees planted Mary Lou said there was a possibility of Jason Lubar from Morris Arboretum getting them bags.
The Board discussed the shape of the trees from the various plantings along the Baltimore Corridor. There will be 25 more trees planted and possibly the business owners can care for the trees in the future.
New Business
Free trees to Residents: The last shipment of trees came in straw and the trees do not seem to be doing as well, most still seem very small.
The Board discussed getting the Tree Tender group members in Lansdowne to weed and care for the trees planted and the grounds around Borough Hall.
The Board also discussed the possibility of planting ML's red oak along the municipal parking lot across from the Regency Café and the Theater. ML will need to get permission from the Borough for the Board to plant.
Visit from Mayor Jane and members of Giac Lam Temple at 131 Nyack Avenue. The Temple members wanted the public to use the Temple garden. They wanted to get suggestions for plantings that would make their garden more inviting. Board members suggested they advertise the Temple in the Lansdowne paper since most residents have no knowledge of the Temple. The Board also suggested the free trees in the fall.

The Dartts: LISTENING BOOTH
The Colors Of Another World
1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. ~Revelation 21:19-21 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
V1 - I saw a painting - In a window - Of a hilltop in the dawn - And the colors in that painting were so beautiful - There were shades I never knew - Of rose and gold and blue - They seemed to be the colors of another world - Like a child I could try to paint the beauty of the sky - But the colors of that world are far above - And no brush could bring them down - The streets, the jewels, the crowns - No earthly eye has seen the colors of another world. CH - And I am looking and I'm longing for the colors of another world - I am listening for the music only Heaven's realm has heard - I am waiting for that day when I am home in Heaven to stay - I'll see the colors (colors) - Wondrous colors (see the colors) - The colors of another world. V2 - Oh, how beautiful the colors there will be - To the glory of the Father's Majesty - Beyond compare - The spectrum there - Beyond the rainbow made by God's own hand - And the colors angels view - Our loved ones there can see them too - They're looking now upon the colors of another world.

The Fondació Tàpies occupies one of the more striking business buildings around the Passeig de Gràcia: the Editorial Montaner i Simón (1880–5) built by Domènech i Montaner for his publisher brother. It was the first time that Domènech had a chance to put his proto-Modernista theories into practice in the good Catalan brick and iron he loved, arranged in patterns reminiscent of the Moorish-influenced mudéjar work of medieval Spain.
Antoni Tàpies, whose poetic smudges and scribbles made him a world-famous artist, took over the building for his foundation and topped it all with his Núvol i Cadira (Cloud and Chair) that hovers over the building like a giant bird net. The pigeons have learned to avoid it.
Born in 1923 to a bourgeois family in Barcelona Antoni Tàpies was a sickly child who spent days in bed, sketching. His father compelled him to study law (he survived school better than his good friend Joan Miró), but he returned seriously to his first love, art, during the Second World War. Initially he flirted with Surrealism before turning to abstract works and joining the avant-garde Dau al Set group. After its dissolution in 1953, came into his own as one of Spain's most influential artists—in 2010 King Juan Carlos raised him (like Dalí before him) into the Spanish nobility: he is now the Marquès de Tàpies.
Like Miró, Tapiès seeks the extraordinary within the ordinary, often with a glance over his shoulder to his childhood in old Barcelona—the graffitied walls, the mirrors and wardrobes of a young invalid. His art, often bleak and yet spiritual (he has had a lifelong interest in Buddhism), were created from found objects, scraps of paper and rags, and sprayed with clay and grit. Few artists have more deeply explored the emotional impact of everyday textures and gestures.
In 1984 he set up this foundation for the study of contemporary and non-Western art. His own art is arranged upstairs, while the lower level is dedicated to changing exhibitions of other people's—keep an eye peeled; some of the shows are exceptional.

Problems with coloring the legend of elevation maps
adg_msi_hou Global Mapper UserPosts: 4
edited December 2014 in Bug Report
I created a series of elevation maps using the 'Create Elevation grid from 3D vector data'. I then went to elevation options for the layers I created and started changing the Shader to the most useful option, in this case Color Ramp Shader. Somewhere along the way, the legend glitched and only shows a red color. The annotated values on the scale are correct. Atlas Shader shows the same thing. Scales for the HSV shader and gradient shader repeat numerous times within the annotated range of values. Maps look fine and are correct, the annotated scale values are correct, just the scale itself is one solid color. I have exited the program and restarted it, no change. I have not rebuilt the project nor have I removed and recreated the elevation surfaces. I do know I get the same problem if I create another elevation map within the same project.
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the help.
When you have multiple loaded elevation layers using a custom elevation shader rather than a shared elevation shader it becomes a bit complex which layer will be used for the elevation legend. Which version of Global Mapper are you using?
Do you need to use independent elevation shaders for each layer? Typically you will want to keep each layer using the shared elevation shader and just set the shader to use for them all using the shader selection on the toolbar.
Global Mapper Support
I'm using v12.01. It looks as if the shared elevation shader is working correctly but is taking its range from the minimum value in any of the layers to the maximum value in any of the layers, regardless of which layer is being displayed. I can see why it would behave that way. Can I get it to set the min max on a layer by layer basis or do I have to do what I was doing originally and select the color ramp shader under the 'elevation option' for each individual layer?
Although I am treating the layers as elevations, they are actually a series of depth surfaces which range from a surface layer at around 2500-2700' above MSL, to a layer at 100-200' above MSL.
The range of the shared elevation shader should only consider those layers that are enabled on the Control Center and that are at least partially onscreen, is that not how it is working for you? For example if you uncheck a layer in the Control Center does the elevation range not update to only include the range of the on-screen layers? Note that the coloring should reflect the range of all loaded and enabled layers, whereas the actual range displayed on the elevation shader should just be the range of the on-screen layers.
Global Mapper Support
Mike, that's exactly how it's working but it's not what I am trying to do. I want each layer to be colored by the range of that layer also, not all layers. It is no problem for me if only one layer at a time is checked in control panel.
If you want each layer to only be colored by the range of that layer then you will want to setup each layer to use its own custom shader rather than using the shared one. To make sure that you get the elevation legend that you want, just check that one layer in the Control Center.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Global Mapper Support
That's the way I had the layers set up when the problem first appeared. I have gone back to that set up and the problem is still there. The legend bar is a solid red for every layer checked in the Control Center, the annotated scales are correct. I am displaying and setting up each layer individually, in other words only one layer is checked when the custom shader is selected.

What version of Global Mapper are you using?
How many data layers have you loaded?
What is your workflow?
Can you attach a zip archive containing your workspace and data files?
Ellen Global Mapper User Posts: 2Hi Bob,
I'm using version 16.0.0. I have been able to reproduce it and the problem occurs when I Combine/Compare Terrain Layers. I think I may have fixed it using Colour Elevations Based on Visible Data. I thought I'd tried that but it works now at least.

I'm using v20 and cant change the shader either not matter how many different settings I choose
golfshaper said:I'm using v20 and cant change the shader either no matter how many different settings I choose. Seems this has been carrying on for a while the functionality of this shader has never worked for me in any version.

U. Iowa Political Poll Gives Clues To Potential Caucus Votes
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney maintains a tight grasp on likely Iowa GOP caucus-goers, according to the UI Hawkeye Poll released Monday. But the "big story" for the poll's officials isn't Romney's strong lead at 36.2 percent. It's former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who is now neck and neck in Iowa with national GOP front-runners Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson.
Huckabee -- still on a upswing from his surprising second-place finish in the August Straw Poll -- culled 12.8 percent, leading former Tennessee Sen. Thompson, who received 11.4 percent, and lagging slightly behind former New York City Mayor Giuliani, who claimed 13.1 percent. The margin of error was 5.8 percent.
Huckabee's increasing command of evangelical Christians' support in the poll is evidence that he may be the only GOP nomination candidate in position to best Iowa-leading Romney, said David Redlawsk, a UI associate professor of political science and director of the poll.
"If anyone is going to manage to beat Romney, he is going to have to figure out how to motivate the Christian conservatives," Redlawsk said, noting that Giuliani has little chance to mobilize this faction.
Republican-nomination contenders in general have much rousing to do to ensure their supporters come out to caucus Jan. 3.
Even though the number of undecided Republicans has declined since the first Hawkeye Poll was conducted in March, Redlawsk said, the party's Iowa following is still "less connected and less engaged" than its Democratic counterpart. Democrats expressed much more satisfaction with their selection of contenders.
In their poll, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., now leads with 28.9 percent, including strong support from women and those over 45.
"But it's still very much a dogfight among these candidates," Redlawsk said, noting that Rodham Clinton's lead falls within the poll's 5.5 percent margin of error for Democrats.
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., came in close behind her, commanding 26.6 percent, with a "disproportionate" amount of his support coming from those under 45.
Meanwhile, John Edwards has fallen into third place. The former North Carolina senator stands at 20 percent, down from 26 in August.
His supporters, however, are the most experienced caucus-goers, Redlawsk said. The UI professor said that 75 percent turned out in 2004, while only 54 percent of Obama supporters caucused in that election cycle.
The random poll -- conducted by Redlawsk and Caroline Tolbert, also a UI associate professor of political science -- elicited the help of students to survey 306 Democrat and 285 Republican likely caucus-goers from Oct. 17 through Oct. 24.
The Hawkeye polling program, which began through the UI Social Science Research Center with just $500 and surplus computers and furniture, is expected to cost upward of $100,000 during this election cycle, said Kevin Leicht, a UI professor of sociology and director of the research center.

Greetings from Las Vegas! I flew in from Minneapolis Sunday night and came straight to the hospital. Jane promptly informed me that I was now on blog duty, so an exhausting two days later, I'm here with the next update for you.
Emily was making great progress the first couple of days following surgery last Wednesday, but by Saturday a few complications were setting in. She hadn't eaten or drank anything since the day before because she was experiencing cramping and bloating in her abdomen as well as acid reflux. The doctors decided she should stay another night with plans to go home on Sunday. But by Sunday she wasn't improving. She was even more bloated and extremely dehydrated, claiming that any time she even tried to take a sip of water she felt the onset of heartburn.
Dr. Browder ordered an X-Ray first thing yesterday morning, but because the X-ray was only a one-dimensional view, the doctor then ordered a CAT scan to get a three-dimensional view to determine what was going on. This immediately brought tears to Emily's eyes knowing she'd have to drink an entire bottle of barium, a liquid used to coat the stomach so the doctors can easily read the CAT scan images. In an attempt to alleviate the mere thought of having to drink 3 cups of fluid, Emily and Jane resorted to playing drinking games. Was this a flashback from the college days, or what?! With a deck of cards, a bottle of berry-flavored barium, and water, the mission was accomplished half an hour later. Jane took a few sips of barium herself to help Emily along…..but we somehow failed to mention that part to the nurses.
The hard part next was waiting more than two hours for the barium to do its job….on Emily as well as Jane! Then, another two hour wait to get the results from the doctor, which revealed severe blockage. A tube was then inserted into the opening of the stoma (the part of the intestine her bag is hooked up to) and another tube, called an NG tube, up her nose and down her throat into her stomach to pump out more bile.
Emily was extremely uncomfortable and had the IV for morphine hooked back up along with another catheter inserted. By this point it had been three days since she had eaten and the mere smell of food made her nauseous. After being at the hospital for 9 hours, we thought we'd let her rest.
It is now Tuesday morning and Emily is feeling better. The drainage tubes seemed to be serving their purpose and she has released about a quart of the fluids that were backing her up. She was taken away for another X-Ray of her bladder because the doctor noticed there was air in front of the bladder, and just wanted to make sure everything was working properly.
Emily has a whiteboard in her room indicating the date, her nurses names, and personal goals they write for her. For the past few days Emily's personal goal, as written by the nurses, was "to get better pain controlled." This morning Jane and DJ brought in some dry erase markers to write some new goals for Emily:
I know Emily will reach her goals…she is truly an inspiration. Please remember that every prayer does count.

From the Office of
Representative Jeanie Lauer
32nd District
January 29, 2013
CONTACT: Representative Jeanie Lauer
(573) 751-1487
Jeanie Lauer will serve as Deputy Whip for the 2013 Legislative Session
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Rep. Lauer, Republican-Blue Springs, was named to the Majority Whip team in the Missouri House this week – a position that will give him/her a more prominent role in determining the outcome of priority legislation. Lauer was named to the team by House Majority Whip, Rep. Sandy Crawford, R-Buffalo.
As part of the Majority Whip team, Lauer will be responsible for assisting Rep. Crawford in rounding up votes on critical issues and communicating policy positions to other members of the majority. As one of four Deputy Whips, Lauer will be responsible for coordinating the activities of 6 floor whips who will assist in informing caucus members on key issues and votes.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to play a much greater role in the legislative process," said Lauer. "This position offers me a great opportunity to better represent the interests of the 32nd district. I look forward to working to help ensure the passage of legislation that will be of great benefit to the people in our area, as well as the entire state of Missouri."
Lauer added that her new post allows her to become more involved in a wider variety of legislative matters.
Why would a state representative propose legislation that would only apply to Blue Springs?
I'm talking about trash hauling, an issue the City Council resolved nearly seven months ago. Representative Sheila Solon of Blue Springs tried to attach an amendment to House Bill 701 one day before the 2012 session ended, an amendment that by its narrow demographic definition, out of all of the cities in Missouri, would only apply to Blue Springs. If it's fair, beneficial and appropriate legislation, shouldn't it be applicable to more than just one city within the state?
Earlier this year Rep. Solon began discussing a bill to require a vote of the people prior to any change in trash collection mandated by city government. While on the surface this may sound like a protection for residents and for free enterprise, it presents a number of challenges. In Blue Springs, our voter-approved home rule charter assigns the responsibility for these decisions to the City Council, and it is then the duty and obligation of the council to research the issue and seek input from residents and interested parties. The council met those responsibilities in resolving this issue.
Additionally, requiring special elections on specific non-tax issues creates an additional unnecessary expense for our residents. Our council, through recommendations by the mayor's task force, successfully concluded this issue months ago. While I respect the voice of the voter, our system of government is a republic. We elect people to represent us and make decisions on our behalf. Just as our state government desires autonomy from unfunded federal legislation and mandates, our local government must have the same autonomy from state government.
As I reviewed the proposed amendment, I kept coming back to the same question. Why? What possible explanation would there be for this amendment, focused just on Blue Springs, regarding an issue resolved nearly seven months ago?
Was the decision to file this amendment related to campaign contributions from trash-hauling companies? It's not unusual for industries to contribute to candidates or representatives in the hopes of having their concern or issue receive a higher level of attention. While most campaign finance reports include contributions from individuals, political action committees and businesses, when you start to see a preponderance of one type of industry, questions emerge as to the motivation for the contributions. Campaign finance reports are available online at mec.mo.gov. See the campaign finance report at http://bit.ly/SolonCF20111015 for details on the contributions that have been made by trash hauling companies or their employees to Rep. Solon.
The amendment to HB 701 was defeated. While I applaud Rep. Solon's desire to protect the residents of Blue Springs, I disagree with her methods. If more focus was placed on effective and appropriate statewide legislation and less on attempts to micromanage local government and keep campaign contributors happy, the result would be a higher level of success for an elected official who represents a significant portion of our city.
Blue Springs City Councilman Chris Lievsay has stepped up to offer his service to the citizens of the new District 31. The new Missouri House District 31 includes Blue Springs south of I-70, Lake Tapawingo, and south of Colbern Rd. Please take the opportunity to get to know Chris and please support his candidacy.

Mayor Carson Ross likes to say Blue Springs is a city "on the move," and it's obvious throughout our city that his statement is accurate.
With the exceptionally mild winter we're experiencing, commercial development at Adams Dairy Landing is progressing at a brisk pace. Ulta Beauty is now open and the buildings for TJ-Maxx/Home Goods, Ross Dress for Less and additional lifestyle shops are close to completion.
The city recently began requesting bids on the long anticipated improvements for Woods Chapel Road, continuing to fulfill the promise of redeveloping this important north-south corridor. At the most recent City Council work session, the council agreed to request assistance from the Blue Springs Economic Development Corporation regarding recommendations for a strategic plan to redevelop our Missouri 7 and U.S. 40 corridors. We also agreed to complete the formal review of our city's comprehensive plan, a review that is significantly overdue and will ensure the city is better prepared for future development efforts.
Not all politics were local last week. I had the great pleasure of going to Jefferson City to talk with our state legislators regarding a variety of issues of interest to our city.
I met with many representatives and senators and experienced a great deal of pride as I frequently heard how well our city is represented by District 54 Rep. Jeanie Lauer. Over and over again her colleagues spoke of what an effective, strong leader she is for Blue Springs. Having worked closely with Jeanie in recent years, this confirmed what I already knew about her dedication to the residents of our city and her genuine concern for the best interest of our community. It's gratifying to know that others recognize her integrity and sincerity. We are fortunate to have her in Jefferson City!
We began interviewing candidate development teams last week, one of which will partner with the city and University of Missouri for the design and development of the 50,000- to 80,000-square foot Mizzou Center building. The Mizzou Center will focus on research, continuing education and community outreach functions in Missouri Innovation Park and will serve as the anchor tenant for this important project.
The land for the first phase of development in the park is now under control of the city, and we are on track for visible development before the end of the year. The location is just south of Adams Dairy Landing, at the corner of R.D. Mize Road and Adams Dairy Parkway.
Jackson County's regional rail proposal now includes two potential stops in Blue Springs – one downtown and one at the southern edge of the Innovation Park. These two stops will assist Main Street Alive in downtown redevelopment efforts and help to accelerate the development of Missouri Innovation Park. This proposal is likely to be a November ballot issue in Jackson County.
Blue Springs is "on the move?" Yes, mayor, we certainly are!
You are Invited to Attend
A Reception/Fundraiser on behalf of
Jeanie Lauer, State Representative
At the Home of: Jeff and Carol Journagan
2405 SW 19th Street, Blue Springs, MO
Special Guest Speaker: Steven Tilley, Speaker of the House
Friday, November 4th Time: 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Call it ancestry, genealogy, or family lineage; most of us have an innate need to know where or who we came from. For adult adoptees in the state of Missouri, the quest to learn our history just became a little easier. For many years, the only option for an adult adoptee searching for their biological family was a petition to the family court for a search, then seeking the permission of both the adoptive and biological parents before releasing identifying information to the adoptee. If one of the parents had died, the search came to a legal end.
Thanks to the efforts of many Missouri residents and the insight of our State Legislators and Governor Nixon, Senate Bill 351 has changed that process. An adult adoptee or their lineal descendants, if the adopted adult is deceased, may now initiate a search, and the death of a parent is no longer an obstacle.
In 2002, I had the honor and privilege of finding my biological parents, with the support and urging of my adoptive Mother and Father. The reunion was wonderful and allowed me to meet many additional family members including five half-sisters and three half-brothers, along with nieces, nephews and cousins. Under the previous law, if I had waited until this year to do my search, my adoptive father's death this past January would have become a significant obstacle to my search.
I joined a group of adult adoptees this past Monday as we visited the Jackson County Family Court. Many of those attending have waited decades to learn of their origins, but were prevented by the death of a parent. Each one officially began the process of discovery and they are hopeful to finally learn the circumstances of their adoption. I pray for their success and wish them the best.
If you are an adult adoptee and are interested in searching for your biological roots, more opportunities are available to you now. If you have been searching but have not yet found your biological family, now may be the time to try again. I encourage you to continue your search. For more information about searching, go to the Jackson County Family Court website at http://www.family-court.org/adoption.htm.
Meanwhile, we will continue to strive for opening adoption records for adult adoptees in Missouri. Our goal is for every Missouri adoptee to be treated equally under the law and to have the opportunity to know firsthand the circumstances of their birth and adoption.

Governor Nixon calls special session of General Assembly to create jobs, ensure continued fiscal discipline
Priorities for special session are passing comprehensive jobs package, reforming tax credit programs to ensure continued fiscal discipline
JEFFERSON CITY – Gov. Jay Nixon today called a special session of the Missouri General Assembly to pass a bipartisan jobs package that will foster growth in science and technology industries and expand Missouri exports, along with passing tax credit reform legislation to pay for these additional investments and ensure continued fiscal responsibility. The special session will begin Sept. 6.
Gov. Nixon emphasized the importance of accomplishing these priorities as efficiently and effectively as possible to limit the cost of the special session for taxpayers.
"Creating jobs and helping Missouri businesses grow is the top priority for my administration, and we work tirelessly each and every day to do just that," Gov. Nixon said. "Because of our relentless efforts, Missouri's unemployment rate is dropping, we've maintained a spotless AAA credit rating, and we're one of the best states in the nation for business. Passing this bipartisan jobs package will help us continue to move Missouri's economy forward and create good jobs for folks all across our state. I appreciate the work the General Assembly has already done to achieve broad consensus on these priorities, and I look forward to continuing to work with legislators on both sides of the aisle during an efficient, focused and productive session."
The Governor's call specifies a number of job-creation priorities the General Assembly will consider during the special session, including:
? Enacting the Missouri Science and Innovation Reinvestment Act (MOSIRA) to encourage the growth of science and innovation businesses in the state;
? Enacting the Compete Missouri Initiative to provide additional incentives and benefits to attract and retain businesses, to streamline and update Missouri's training programs, and to increase the efficiencies of the state's business development incentives;
? Enacting legislation to increase exports and foreign trade through the development of an international air cargo hub at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport – a project with the potential to create thousands of construction jobs, and thousands of additional jobs once the hub is operational; and
? Enacting legislation to help construct and develop high-tech data centers.
While enacting these key jobs proposals is critical for continued economic growth in Missouri, Gov. Nixon also said the state must be able to pay for these additional investments, and tax credit reform legislation to ensure continued fiscal discipline must be passed.
"Unlike the folks in Washington, D.C., we balance our budgets here in Missouri each and every year," Gov. Nixon said. "We must protect Missouri's spotless AAA bond rating and keep the state's fiscal house in order. That's why comprehensive tax credit reform is essential."
Gov. Nixon's call asks the General Assembly to implement a comprehensive tax credit reform package that will modify or eliminate many tax credit programs that are not producing a substantial return on investment for Missouri taxpayers. This package is largely based on the work of the expert Bipartisan Tax Credit Review Commission, which issued its final report in November 2010.
In addition to comprehensive tax credit reform, the call also includes provisions to increase the efficiency of the Missouri Department of Revenue's collections operations, and to authorize a brief "tax amnesty" program in 2012.
Today, Gov. Nixon also reported that damage assessments and recovery efforts in communities affected by the numerous natural disasters this year are ongoing, including Joplin, southeast Missouri, northwest Missouri, Sedalia and St. Louis County. Once the full extent of the damage is known, Gov. Nixon said he will work with the General Assembly to determine the most effective means of financing recovery and rebuilding efforts.
"Our commitment to the communities affected by tornadoes, floods and other disasters this year is clear: We will help you recover, and we will help you rebuild," Gov. Nixon said. "Before we can determine the best method to finance our recovery obligations, we must determine the full extent of the damage. As we finalize our damage assessments along the Missouri River and in other communities, we will determine the most effective and comprehensive method to finance disaster recovery in every corner of Missouri. I look forward to working with the General Assembly to make those critical financing decisions once we have completed the assessment process."
Gov. Nixon will communicate with the General Assembly later this week to provide a detailed update on the status of these damage assessments.
In his call today, Gov. Nixon also asked the General Assembly to take up three additional proposals during the session:
? Enacting legislation moving Missouri's Presidential primary to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March of each Presidential election year;
? Enacting legislation authorizing the transition of governing the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department from a board of police commissioners to the City of St. Louis; and
? Authorizing tax credits to help attract amateur sporting events to Missouri.
Over the past several weeks, Gov. Nixon's administration has worked closely with members of the General Assembly to finalize the language for the special session call to ensure that the session will be as efficient and effective as possible.
A copy of Gov. Nixon's call for the special session is available here.
