The river is everywhere at once
net art
"But what happens when space is saturated or runs out, as may happen with our space, even our airspace? Necessarily, Serres argues, this must mean that we will have to take our leave, not of this or that location, but of space, in the sense of locatedness, itself. The network, the gridding or checkerboarding of finite space, with its determinate and mutually exclusive positions, gives way to a topological ocean of changeable relations. '[Soft] connectivity replaces [hard] collectivity'.
Michel Serres: The Hard and the Soft by Steven Connor
T he river is everywhere at once, is a net-art work that generates animated topographical compositions and sounds derived from the text in tweets that include the keyword landscape.
The Twitter, tweet refers to a point in time that takes on new form and meaning when viewed in different contexts. When seen in this way, a tweet contributes to an expanded sense of place as one that is a composite of space and time, network and process; or in Michel Serres's terms a topology.
The emergence of new topologies and their connotations in a tweet's re-translation in new contexts is revealed in the asynchronous, overlapping and cyclical flow of our connections in different networks. The net-art work "The river is everywhere at once" references how tweets move us to a point in time that is quickly made composite, ambiguous and unanticipated through the ever-changing nature of our relations in a network.
"The river is everywhere at once" was exhibited at-
2017 ISEA2017, 23rdIinternational Symposium of Electronic Art, XVI Internatinoal Image Festival,La Universidad de Caldas , Manizales, Colombia.
2017 "Al-Tiba9" Arab International Exhibition of Contemporary Art, Ciutadella Pompeu Fabra Carrer de Ramón Trias Fargas, Barcelona.
2017 "Al-Tiba9" Arab International Exhibition of Contemporary Art, MAMA Museum of Modern Art in Algiers, Algeria.
2016 "Concept Winter 2016: the 2nd International Exhibition on Conceptual Art", Czong Institute for Contemporary Art, Museum Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea.
2016 "Fragmented Cities and Identities", Jorge Jurado Gallery Bogotá, Colombia
"The river is everywhere at once" was also nominated for the "SOCIAL ART AWARD 2017" and was included in the book "The Social Art Award 2017 – Invigorating the Rise of Social Art", published by the Institute for Art and Innovation e.V. based in Berlin, Germany.

Rouhani says Iran sanctions will unravel in months

(Reuters) - President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday international sanctions on Iran would unravel in months following negotiations with world powers on its nuclear program, the official IRNA news agency reported.
Some international sanctions imposed over Iran's nuclear program have been eased temporarily after a deal was reached last year with world powers, but Washington has said the lifting of sanctions can only happen "in total" after a comprehensive deal is reached.
"With your support, this government has taken the first steps towards the lifting of the brutal sanctions ... We will witness the sanctions shattering in the coming months," Rouhani told a crowd during a tour of Sistan-Baluchestan, a restive underdeveloped province bordering Pakistan.
"Today we already see the sanctions unraveling," he said, according to IRNA, referring to the modest easing of sanctions in return for concessions made by Rouhani's government in nuclear talks with world powers.
World powers want Iran to curb its nuclear activity, which Western nations fear is aimed at giving Tehran the capability to make a nuclear weapon. Iran denies that, saying its nuclear program is only for power generation and civilian uses.
The sanctions have bitten deeply. In late 2012, Iran's economy was losing billions of dollars per month as sanctions slashed oil sales. Its currency plunged, inflation jumped and the economy went into recession.
In an interim deal with Iran reached in November, U.S. and E.U. negotiators agreed to lift sanctions on sectors such as petrochemicals and precious metals for six months, with broader sanctions relief if Iran agrees to permanent curbs on its nuclear program.
The president blamed both the sanctions and "tactless policies" by the previous hardline administration of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for the economic hardship faced by his nation.
"Due to the brutal sanctions and unwise administration, our country has faced myriad problems in the past years... but we will break down the inhuman sanctions," Rouhani said.
"We will prove to the world through these negotiations that what has been said about Iran is a lie. Iran has never pursued nuclear weapons and never will."
Negotiators from Iran and the so-called P5+1 - the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany - met in Vienna last week to start drafting a long-term agreement on settling their decade-old nuclear dispute by a July 20 deadline.
Western powers, along with Russia and China, want to prevent tensions in the Middle East from boiling over into a wider war or triggering a regional nuclear arms race.
Iran exported oil at levels higher than allowed under the sanctions for a fourth straight month in February, ship loading data seen by Reuters showed, raising the risk of a crackdown if Washington feels economic pressure is being relaxed too quickly. Iran's main clients are mostly in Asia.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role 1961
Elizabeth Taylor BUtterfield 8 1961
Plays Character That Is Related To The Sex Trade Industry
Wins Oscar For Playing A Prostitute
1961 was definitely the year of the prostitute. Both the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress honors went to actors who played a hooker. In addition Best Picture was awarded to The Apartment, which was about a love shack. So 1961 was a banner year for the role of the prostitute. Elizabeth plays Gloria, a hooker who wants to get out of the profession. While Elizabeth despised the script, she consented to play the part so she could get out of her contract. Ironic that she won an Oscar for it. But in real-life Elizabeth survived a near-death experience. So she definitely received the sympathy vote. It was such a given that Elizabeth was going to win, the other four nominees in her category didn't even bother to show up for the ceremonies.
Watch clip of the film "BUtterfield 8"
Elizabeth Taylor played more than one hooker role on film.
Go to Elizabeth Taylor Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? 1967 to read her other prostitute role.

If you know of this actress playing more than one prostitute role please comment below and let me know! I'll gladly add it to the page here. If the video has been removed please leave a comment below to let me know.

The students of Rocketship Schools have some of the highest performance among charter school for low-income communities and often excel beyond stellar schools.
Rocketship schools teach young students in a unique way and involve the parents, unlike ms other schools. The Rocketship Approach, as they call their way of doing things, has students be ahead of schedule and learn things comfortable well before their peers from other institutions.
Teachers at Rocketship Schools are dedicated to the students and provide with the highest quality of education possible. As the Rocketship Charter Schools are non-profit, money is the focus of any teacher. They aim to establish a community in the classroom, and to help each student learn and expand their skill without anyone falling behind. That requires the teachers pay individual attention to everyone in the classroom.
Teachers often collaborate with parents to work on projects, establish a better study schedule, and useful homework for the students. That approach makes studying fun for the kids and allows them to thrive in a friendly environment.
Rocketship Schools recently addressed the situation in the education sector of the United States of America. The gap in performance is astonishing as schools with mostly students from low-income families have a much lower performance rate than those with average or high income. The education sector has been acting clueless as to why the is happening.
Meanwhile, Rocketship Education is not one of those school with lower performance rate but quite the opposite. The schools accredit their success and that of their students to the environment in the classrooms. Teachers do their best to pay individual attention to each student and to tailor the study material to their seed of learning and interests. Involving the parents in the education of their children also contributes a lot to the fast learning and development of skills.
The Rocketship Schools suggest other schools to start taking better care of their students instead of choosing to focus on those from families with higher income. The parents' money should not be a factor in the way children are educated according to the Rocketship Schools.

SEVERAL Victorian police are likely to face criminal charges over the treatment and subsequent death of a man after he was released from Dandenong police station this year.
The 53-year-old Chinese man died at Dandenong Hospital about 11.40am on May 13, some 15 hours after being discharged from the police station.
The Age understands homicide squad investigators have seized video footage from outside the station that shows about five police dumping the visibly ill man in a puddle upon his release while the temperature was about 12 degrees and raining.
It shows the officers standing over the man laughing and gloating about the state he was in and some policewomen can also be seen holding their noses because of the stench caused by the man soiling himself while in custody.
One of the officers is believed to have brought a police divvy van from the back of the station so she could sit inside with the heater on and continue watching the man lying on the ground. He died of what is believed to have been hypothermia.
His death was made public two weeks later by an interpreter who had been called to the station after the man was locked up for drunkenness about 3.20pm.
She said when she arrived about 7.45pm and looked into his cell, he had soiled himself and she saw "blood everywhere".
She said he had begged police to take him to hospital or get medical help, but they repeatedly ignored him.
The interpreter, known only as Jay Jay, said police told her ''he was dying anyway''.
Police have confirmed they have CCTV footage from inside the station that shows the man crawling from his cell bleeding and in agony.
When paramedics arrived about 9pm, they found the man conscious, bleeding and breathing rapidly.
Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius said at the time there was no evidence the man had suffered any physical trauma due to mishandling or use of force by police.
He added that it appeared the man had died because of ''a long-standing and pre-existing medical condition'', believed to be cirrhosis.
Mr Cornelius said the officer ''ultimately accountable'' for custody at Dandenong station had been switched to other duties, and further disciplinary action would be decided by the head of the Ethical Standards Department, who is overseeing the investigation, pending the outcome of the investigation.
The Age has been told that criminal charges are being considered for those involved, with manslaughter yet to be ruled out. Some police could also be sacked for their involvement.

Gulf Quest – National Maritime Museum of the Gulf of Mexico, Mobile, AL
Located on the Mobile River in Alabama this 90,000 SF structure shaped like a vessel headed out to sea will anchor the only maritime museum dedicated to the Gulf of Mexico. Projected to open in 2014 this museum will be only 1 of 3 in the world to offer interactive displays teaching the rich history of maritime commerce.
With heavy average rainfalls (rivalling that of Seattle, Washington) the construction team identified moisture control as a top priority. RAM Construction Services was contracted by Ben Radcliff Company to provide critical waterproofing that would ensure the longevity of the structure. Waterproof traffic coating was applied to the exterior perimeter walkways to prevent moisture penetration and provide a slip resistant finish during emergency exits. The full size replica of a container ship inside the structure includes a pool to simulate water breaking at the bow of the vessel. RAM installed a pool coating to the walls and floor of the exhibit to insure the water stayed where it was supposed to be. RAM installed a waterproof membrane to the exterior walls of the full size bridge providing protection to the most exposed and vulnerable portion of the building.

Once again, too cute for words. Easter has not been this fun for me since the boys were little; I'm so happy to revisit the excitement of a holiday through the eyes of a child.

Michael Krainin, a Sharon resident in his junior year at UMass-Amherst, was awarded a scholarship given to only 321 students in the nation who plan on seeking jobs in science, mathematics or engineering.
The Goldwater Scholarship, named in honor of the late Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, is worth $7,500 per year.
Krainin is a computer science and mathematics major and is studying abroad at Uppsala University in Sweden. He graduated from Sharon High School in 2005.
�The biggest thing I took from my time at Sharon High School was properly managing my time,� Krainin said in an e-mail. �The math and science background I gained from high school proved extremely useful in higher-level classes,� he said.
According to the UMass Amherst Web site, �In the Loop,� Krainin is the seventh Amherst campus student since 2003 to receive a Goldwater Scholarship.
Krainin told the Daily Collegian of UMass-Amherst that the scholarship will go toward �helping to pay for my school fees and expenses for my final year at UMass.�

Atomic bombs are very dangerous and pricey weapons. They are used for massive destruction. They are usually used to put a county that is acting out to get back into line. Atomic bombs are very useful tool.---------------------------------------------------------------------This summary was include because it tells you what atomic bombs are used for. I think you should read this summary sixth because it is important but not the main worry about atomic bombs.
Atomic weapons are a lot of different things. Uranium bombs, Plutonium bombs for some examples, all of the atomic weapons are made for one purpose and one only. To destroy and at the same time put fare into peoples eyes. All atomic weapons blow up in a way of fusion or fission, weather its a dirty, atomic , nuclear or neutron they all blow up the same.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This summary was included because it tells you what different types of atomic or atom bombs are out there. I think that this summary should be read fifth because after you know what atom bombs can do you are going to want to know what affects might be coming your way.
How to tell if a bomb was dropped or a it was any earthquake. There are two different types of waves that these events can make, P waves and S waves. P waves are the effect if something were to slam into the ground. S waves are if something were to dramatically slash like what an earthquake would do. P waves are faster then S waves because P waves go into a straight line and S waves move in like a wallaby line way. A explosion should make mostly P waves and an earthquake S wakes.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I think that this text set was included because it can tell you if there is an atomic bomb coming your way or its just an earthquake. I think that you should read this summary forth because it can tell you if you are just having an earthquake or radiation is coming your way.
Atomic bombs have usually two main explosives in them, Plutonium and Uranium with some exceptions. Both of these idem's are highly concentrated amounts. The bomb will ether go off by using fusion or fission, this is basically splitting the atoms.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I think that this text set was included because it tells you how the atomic bomb works. I think that you should read this summary there'd because now that you know what devastation and what has happened in the passed, you should know how the bomb gets its power.
Atomic bombs can have a massive effect on people. Considering that the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki was the equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT. Also Atomic bombs come with side effects of extreme heat and radiation that stretches for miles.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I think that this text set was included because it shows a back story to what atomic bombs can do if dropped. I think that you should read this summary first because it tells you how devastating the atomic bomb can be before reading on how it works.
Atomic bombs are one of the most powerful and fared weapons in history. With an average blast area of 1 1/2 miles. But this is only the area that everything is destroyed not including the weak building the radiation that goes on for miles and miles.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I think that this summary was included because it tells you the total devastation of atomic bombs. I think that this summary should go second because it tells you what might be happening if an atomic bomb was dropped by you.

the chronicles of a girl striving for balance

Family Time
I am just returning from my evening activities. My doctor's appointment went well and I then headed to Target where I browsed and picked up some much needed items (lotion, toilet paper.. etc.). When I got home I realized my eyes were still so dilated that I did not feel like cooking (a rare thing) so my husband took me to get Mexican food. I had a bean chalupa and chile poblano. They were delicious. I haven't had Mexican food (from a Mexican restaurant) in a long time.
Now, because my eyes are actually still dilated.. I am ready to just go crash on the couch with the hubby and kitty.
Have a great night and I will be back tomorrow!

If we decide to go on a European adventure for a couple of weeks once we're all 18, then i've devised a brilliant map… basically England > Scotland/Ireland/Wales (!?) > France > Spain > France > Italy > Switzerland > Austria > Germany Belgium ….
we should make a list of places/ things to do and see.
or we could go to South America, or the Caribbean, or Africa!

We're on the cusp of one of the biggest changes in personal workout trends in years. This is not because of some hot new program or a shift in philosophy about how we should exercise. Rather, it's a result of emerging and improving technologies, and the creative new ways in which they're being integrated with workout machines.
Here, specifically, are five tech-based workouts that could be very popular in the near future.
1 – Workouts With Live Tracking
Back in August, a story surfaced about an augmented reality program designed to monitor the wearer's status and "count points," among other things. The idea is for you to wear a special pair of AR glasses that give you two options. First, you can continue to see the real world in front of you, complete with a sort of virtual board of workout stats. Alternatively, you can opt to enter total VR in which case a game emerges – the example provided being that each rep of a weightlifting routine could fend off advancing zombies (though this seems like it could potentially lead to bad habits).
2 – AR-Based Competitions
Naturally, you could make a competition out of the technology just written about above. However, a simpler way to compete via AR-based exercise has recently emerged as well. It's a mobile app called AR Runner that, with a compatible Android or iOS device, can present digital markers for runners to touch during a training routine. The app can time your progress through different markers such that you're always looking to set records, top friends' scores, etc. – and all you need is a phone.
3 – Home Cycling Classes
You may have noticed ads for something called Peloton lately, because they appear to be everywhere lately. Basically, it's a company that ships you a home exercise bike with its own tablet mounted on it, and access to all kinds of classes. It's a great idea, but it's also plain to see that VR can take things further. As one writer put it when discussing VR in gaming, it's doing something which can't be done in real life that'll appeal to a lot of players. Peloton opens the door to top-notch versions of a class you could take at a local gym. But a VR headset could take you somewhere you don't have a realistic shot at going anytime soon – a famous road or course all the way across the world, where you can cycle to your heart's content.
4 – The Icaros Game
Icaros may be our first example of a brand new fitness machine being build specifically with VR in mind. It's not an app or a twist on an existing piece of equipment, but rather a whole new apparatus you strap yourself into, such that you're parallel to the floor, facing down, with your arms forward and holding onto control sticks. Referring to the human desire to fly and our enjoyment of games, Icaros promises to combine both of these desires in a single machine. Basically, it's a game that you play by manipulating your body in ways that strategically exercise the body.
5 – VR-Based Climbing Machines
We should also note that climbing machines are becoming more popular. There's a whole range of products, from under-$100 to several thousand dollars, that allow people to simulate climbing motions in their homes (or at their gyms). And while these motions don't exactly mimic what you actually do when you're climbing a rock formation or something of the like, it's still easy to imagine VR making it feel like you're out in the world adventuring. It's the same concept as what we discussed for cycling, but with climbing machines.

- codered5150Asked on September 05, 2014 at 01:18 PM
I have three different forms that need to be filled out and approved by 3 different people with the 3rd approval notifying the remaining individuals of the approval. Is there a way to pre-populate the second and third form with what the user put in the first form's fields? I know you can add it into the URL but these forms will change dynamically per day.
- JotForm SupportMike_TAnswered on September 05, 2014 at 03:15 PM
We do not have any built-in options to fetch the data from the database and populate it into another forms. I think that you will need to use the prepopulation by the form URL, the link can be probably generated by the form itself or with a custom programming solution.

I went to Tulsa, OK for the third straight year last week, and though this time I at least did not go to Brooklyn and Tulsa in back-to-back weeks like I did two years ago (there was one week in between), the fact that it was the second trip made me pretty tired. Throw in the fact that stuff happened at home that I needed to deal with, and I found myself often worn out even though the schedule was less packed than the one in New York. Nonetheless, it was still a blessing to go again, and I'm always impressed by the hospitality of the host church, Tulsa Chinese Christian Church. It was good time of trying to teach kids basic Bible truths while teaching heftier matters to the youth and college students.

Brooklyn Part III: The Sequels Keep Getting Better
In the summer of 2015, I went to a predominately Chinese area in Brooklyn, NY to help out at a VBS-like summer program called Summer Splash put on by Dorcas Ministries (which I wrote about here). Last April, I went back to the same place in Brooklyn, though the reason for that was to put on a "retreat" for the youth and college students (which I also wrote about). Last week, I went back again to do a bit of both: We had some more teaching sessions for the youth and college kids on Monday and Tuesday (July 4) but also did Summer Splash from Wednesday to Friday. It was a lot of work, but God had even more blessings in store for me and my team.
There is a lot I could write about, but I will attempt to be brief so that this is not unreasonably long.

The Baha'i temple in Norte del Cauca, Colombia has just been inaugurated and we're buzzing with excitement!
This Baha'i temple, also known as a House of Worship, is the world's second local Baha'i House of Worship, and to celebrate we've decided to share a collection of 19 sweeping and intimate photos of the temple and some of the guests at its inauguration found on Instagram. (If you're curious to read more about Baha'i temples and their significance, we wrote about it here, Baha'i Temples: A Brief Introduction.)
"When I stepped in the House of Worship, I looked at the rays of light. It was impressive, because it is something that we can feel, that gives us strength, gives us life," Gloria Amparo of Agua Azul described. "I felt this strength embody me. The Temple is something that we really need in our region." – © @bahaiworldnewsservice
The Colombia Temple was dedicated in a joyful ceremony Sunday. More than 1,000 people gathered at the first Baha'i House of Worship in the country for an emotional and long-anticipated ceremony. The gatherings marked a new stage in the unfoldment of the Baha'i Faith in the region. Read more and see more photos on news.bahai.org. #Bahai #Colombia #houseofworship #nortedelcauca
The dedication for the Baha'i House of Worship in Norte del Cauca, Colombia, is set for Sunday morning. Anticipation for the opening is building. More than 1,000 guests are expected to attend the ceremony. Swipe to see the latest photos from the Temple site. #Bahai #houseofworship #nortedelcauca #colombia
"We wanted the Temple to have a crown – where we could place the Greatest Name – and this also feels similar to the flower of the cocoa seed, from which life is propagated." This crown, a yellow structure that sits atop the terracotta-tiled roof, is made out of a fluorescent material that absorbs sunlight in the day and lights up naturally with the sunset". – Julian Gutierrez Chacón, architect of the Local House of Worship.

I want to run, but my body has other plans
The body has a unique way of telling you to stop. On Saturday morning, I woke up with a sore throat, but didn't feel bad. I quickly took some medicine, including a powerful throat drop, and felt fine. So in the nice cold morning, I went out for a nice, steady 4 miles. Later that afternoon, I started feeling bad.
So Saturday night, I didn't feel that great, yet I didn't have a fever. Yesterday I did nothing. I slept for a couple of hours in the early afternoon and watched a lot of football. I didn't feel all that bad, but some minor sore throat lingered. Then today, it's the same. There's very little fever, but I don't feel like doing anything but sleeping. I was already planning to take a half day off work for something else, but I've turned it into a full day off. My brain wants to go, but the rest of my body is saying no.
It seems my quest for 1,000 miles has slowed, but the end really is in sight. I'm just not going to run while not feeling well and then ruin my chances. I'm also eager to set some goals for 2008, but like I've said before I'm waiting until I hit 1,000 miles. Also, this weekend I'm hoping to run in the Bedford Christmas Classic 5k. There's also a 10k that day, but it feels too soon after the marathon to run hard for 6-plus miles. Meanwhile, it's time to get some more rest...

Pioneer fire camp relocated to focus on northwest side of fire
Cooler weather has helped firefighters battling the massive Pioneer Fire north of Idaho City, and the firefighting base camp at Idaho City has been relocated to Bruce Meadows to better position available resources, fire managers said via InciWeb Wednesday.
Primary suppression activity is focused on the northwest side of the fire, and relocating the fire camp shortens travel time to containment and contingency lines along the fire's western flank, fire managers said. Nearly 1,000 people are working on the Pioneer Fire.
The fire, which started in mid-July, has grown slowly this week and as of Wednesday evening was estimated at 181,297 acres and 56 percent containment. Full containment is still projected for mid-October.
Containment strategies are heavily dependent on how the weather develops over the next several days, managers said. The current period of cool, wet weather is predicted to come to an end by this weekend, signaling possible increases in fire behavior.
Continued burning in the fire's interior will continue to create smoke that will impact Garden Valley, Lowman, Stanley, and the surrounding areas, fire managers said.

According to the Italian intellectual Pier Paolo Pasolini, the difference between development and progress is that the former focuses on increasing economic indicators as a result of growth in the production of goods, while the latter involves improving overall social conditions and quality of life.
In response to the ever-changing environments in which we do business, I strongly believe companies have to innovate constantly, not only to survive but to thrive.
Success comes from leveraging our internal and external strengths with the goal of generating progress by making connections between the most creative players in the value chain (from customers to providers, from universities to startups, and so on).
But if a company wants to make progress possible by interacting with those key stakeholders in the eco-system, it also needs to be sustainable. Creative minds tend to come up with brilliant ideas for the sake of the challenge or because they want to make the world a better place rather than to boost the bottom line.
Therefore when companies do not work in a sustainable way, economically, socially and environmentally speaking, the drive to innovate is diminished.
If we aspire to see progress fostering further progress, we need to do all we can to ensure the "love match" between innovation and sustainability flourishes
Ernesto Ciorra, Head of Innovation and Sustainability, Enel

We've Got A Fuzzbox... @ The Ruby Lounge...
80's pop punksters We've Got A Fuzz Box And We're Gonna Use It cruise into town and lay down their Rules And Regulations.
Sittin Pretty and Queen Bee And The Drones simply fall in line!
Words and Photos: Anthony Firmin
I didn't even know this gig was going to on until a regular prodding of local alt-rock/prog band David R Black resulted in an invitation by bassist Sarit Black to come down to The Ruby Lounge as she was playing bass for Fuzzbox. The name didn't ring any bells until a Google search revealed their full name and a series of interesting memories of Top Of The Pops from the later half of the '80's returned – punk pop with big hair, VERY BIG HAIR.
The idea was to have a chat with Sarit before the gig but due to scheduling issues that didn't transpire. However, what did happen for those who attended was an evening of varying musical styles, very entertaining.
Queen Bee And The Drones
First on are QB&TD, a very new symphonic metal band who pulled in a large crowd of supporters – the musical contrast to Fuzzbox couldn't have been any greater. Fronted by the operatic sounding Firouzeh, the band seriously impress with their EPICA and Within Temptation style songs. They are certain to become a regular fixture on the local circuit soon – MR are thinking about booking them for one of our upcoming events, you will then understand our excitement. (Look out for an interview/feature on them soon).
Sittin' Pretty
The name rang a bell and not for good reasons. I last saw them 3 years ago and I wasn't particularly impressed (seemed disorganised and under rehearsed, or it might have been just a bad night). The band have recently become a four piece with the departure of their original bass player so Cameron Gavin has switched to bass guitar and tonight the band are much improved and tighter! Singer Conor Wilde is more dynamic and comes across as a modern day Jim Morrison in his posturing. The band revels in that late 60's alt-blues rock as they plough through their set – Me Me Me and set closer Oh Yeah were superb but so are the other five songs in the set. I've got to catch them again when they play a longer set.
We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It
Amazingly the band open with their two best known songs – International Rescue and Rules And Regulations – and they show the crowd that they still have it. The fun and enthusiasm just flows, it is infectious too, as they bound through lots of material. The on-stage chemistry between Vix Perks and Maggie Dunne is clear to see exuding so much confidence and happiness on stage, they are not just bandmates but are friends too. The noob's in the band fitted in perfectly too; lauded bassist Sarit Black and drummer Hannah Layhe providing a solid rhythm section on which guitarist Megan Burke, Dunne and Perks lay their punk pop anthems.
Covers in the set include Spirit In The Sky, part of Killing In The Name Of… (transposed to the name of the band) and the encore of Pop Muzik. The varied crowd, from punks to those who just remember those days, joining in with every song making this a great atmosphere as the band didn't so much sail but powerboated their way through their 75 minute set, remarkable stuff. And I never got to ask if they still use a fuzzbox – darn it!

This video focuses on image editing, illustrating the steps to take in Photoshop and Lightroom to get to a final select of the banyan tree image.
- Now I want to take those false color skills…that we just acquired, and apply it to this…infrared image of the banyan tree…and also show you what to do when you run into a hotspot.…Now this is white balance, which I expected this…image to be red, but it's actually kind of pink.…And I think the reason for that is just wasn't…that much sun hitting at that time.…But if I go ahead and apply my profile,…you'll see that it becomes a little bit more neutral,…maybe a little blue, but all I have to do…is warm that up a touch, and you're able to get…kind of a more neutral beginning.…
So from here, we're going to go right into Photoshop.…Okay, now, the first thing I notice is…right in this area here with the tree trunk,…there's some bluish color, and I'm going to…emphasize it to show you what I'm talking about.…If I just up the saturation of blue,…do you see how right in here you just get this…really dark blue, and it's a little bit confusing.…Why did that happen? Why is just that one area blue?…And the answer is it's a hotspot.…

Individual Coaching
Many people once believed that their work experience alone would qualify them to receive promotions and advancement. Others anticipate that a single management seminar or workshop will result in all the professional development they need to prepare them for their next step. Still others hope their manager or supervisor can find the time to plan and shape their career.
What you find in the real world is that professional development is an ongoing and very individual process requiring long-term commitment and multiple development activities. One activity is a process called individual coaching and is a critical supplement to work experience, workshops and mentors.
Individual Coaching is:
- an opportunity to take control over your development
- a way to focus your attention on areas you feel you can strengthen
- a way to use daily work challenges to enhance your skills
How It Works:
Since individual coaching is designed to meet a wide range of individual needs, sessions vary greatly in depth and content from one individual to another. There are no set number of sessions and there is no rigid structure to follow. Instead, your coach will guide you through a process that best matches your requirements. Typically coaching is a one-on-one session that lasts one to two hours and results in personalized action plans and commitments. Some individuals utilize two or three sessions, others continue for a longer period. Some coaching sessions can also be conducted over the phone. ALL COACHING SESSIONS ARE CONFIDENTIAL.
Sample Individual Coaching Areas
- Formalizes your professional development
- Increases your motivation to work on goals and action plans
- Keeps you focused on important and challenging areas
- Provides direct, objective feedback and input
- Offers training, tools, support and structure
- Serves as an agent for lasting change and development

Post-Varna EU-Turkey Relations. Neither a break-through nor a break-up
The long-awaited European Union (EU) – Turkey summit that took place in Varna, Bulgaria on March 26th ended on a rather bitter, if unsurprising note, with European Council President Donald Tusk admitting that European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker, Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and himself "didn't achieve any kind of concrete compromise (…)."
And room for compromise there was aplenty. On the agenda were the rule of law in Turkey, fight with terrorism, migration flows, and Turkey's involvement in Syria and in the Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. For the Turkish side, most important issues involved visa-free movement for its citizens, revival of accession talks, and an upgrade of the EU-Turkey customs union.The list of complaints and expectations was therefore long and the talks themselves, as anticipated by Commissioner Juncker ahead of the meeting, "frank". The most recent bone of contention was Turkey's conflicts with Cyprus and Greece. In mid-February, an Italian oil company drill ship commissioned by the Cypriot government to explore for natural gas resources in disputed waters south‑east of Cyprus was confronted by a Turkish warship. The following month, two Greek soldiers were imprisoned after trespassing onto Turkish territory near a border town of Edirne. The soldiers claim they did so unwittingly as they got lost in bad weather during a border patrol. Ankara, however, imprisoned them on suspicion of espionage (as of Sunday, April 8th, both were still under arrest). The EU called Turkey's actions "illegal" and assured it stands united behind Cyprus and Greece.

"Sweet memories of freedoms -- sweating new government pressures ... pass me a pivo!"
An American theatre professor, living in Czechoslovakia during the Prague Spring, returns to the U.S. and writes a book of glowing praise about the Czech art scene. A few years later, just before the book is printed, his publisher suggests that he return to write a final chapter. What he finds --after the change-- makes him wonder if he should release the book at all! Playwright Larry Shue's ensemble comedy pokes fun at reversals of political fortune and is a gentle reminder of how artists make it through difficult times by 'keeping their heads down.'

Photos From DJ CRI$PY C and Xuli's 'Chains' Launch Party
On Friday night, Hamburg-based creative duo DJ CRI$PY C and Xuli launched their brainchild, 'Chains': a club night dedicated to all things trap in the heart of Hamburg's infamous Reeperbahn strip. To be honest, it's one of the few alternatives to typical tourist traps in the area—which was more than evident at the launch party. Hidden behind an inconspicuous black door on the street was a labyrinth-like and foggy club absolutely jam packed with people. Throughout the night, a rotating roster of DJ played the finest of classic Southern trap, French rap, reggaeton and chill slow jams. adidas Originals x Girls Are Awesome were there as part of our collab with CRI$PY and Xuli, so we captured what it looked like. Get the vibe here, check out Chains when you're in Hamburg, and keep your eyes peeled for more from us soon.
Xuli and CRI$PY C are wearing adidas adicolor. See the full line here.

David Luiz: "I loved to be here and that is why I came back"
New Chelsea signing David Luiz spoke about his return to Stamford Bridge after just two years.
The Brazilian defender told the club's official website: "I can say now that my relationship with everyone here was always amazing, with everyone working here and with the players and I can feel the same respect and the same love now. So if I had the opportunity to go back into the past, I would say a special thank you to everybody because I spent three-and-a-half years here and they were amazing. I was growing a lot and that is why I just had great memories of here".
"It is understood Luiz was very keen on moving back to his former club on Deadline Day: "It was my decision, yes – the 29-year-old revealed – I really wanted to come back because I spent an amazing time here. I loved to be here and that is why I want to come back".
Then David Luiz posted this picture with teammate Oscar:
"Of course I had a great relationship with Oscar and the Brazilians and with the other players here, so when you miss your friends you want to be together and that is why we went out to have dinner. I am a lucky guy. I've had the opportunity to play in Europe for amazing clubs. I had a great relationship with Benfica, a great relationship here and a great relationship with PSG".
"When I left my family my mum and dad taught me to respect everybody before everything else. It does not matter if you win or lose in life, you need to respect everybody. That is what I try to do every day".

After all the Christmas goodies and New Year's parties it's time to get back to work. Hope you're just as excited for 2015 as we are, because we have some crazy good stuff coming this year! First things first there has been a name change, as our friends at CarnationGroup adopted the POSSIBLE name as well. We still work together a lot, which is a great opportunity to learn and get expertise outside of game development, while they can get an inside view to our twisted developer minds. Fair deal, isn't it? Back in 2014 our majestic crew started to work on several projects. We are not quite ready to reveal them yet, they are still in alpha stages, but the amount of work we're putting in them ensures that this will change sooner than you think. All we can say, without any form of coherency, that we have space stations, magnetic fossilizers (whatever that is), cute characters, awesome sounds, pretty visuals and even a cassette player. We hope that when the time comes, everybody will like them as much as we do now! We're not really into New Year's resolutions, because no matter how many people swears to start working out, the gyms are usually empty in February. Still, if we would have to make one, it would be to work even harder on our games in the future! Oh, almost forgot… the surprise! Here is a splash art from one of the games we're working on. Have an awesome year everybody! Join the conversation Close

Driving rain on Monday disrupted rescue efforts in Japan and compounded the misery of disaster survivors now fearing radioactive fallout from the smouldering wreck of a nuclear plant.
The bad weather forced Prime Minister Naoto Kan to call off a helicopter flight to the battered northeast coast including a trip to a football training centre about 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the crippled Fukushima No. 1 plant.
The centre is now a staging area for emergency personnel working to avert a disastrous radiation release from the atomic plant, whose reactors have been overheating after cooling systems were damaged by an earthquake and tsunami.
Engineers have laid an external electricity supply to reactor number two and may be able to restore power to its control room later Monday, Japan's nuclear safety agency said.

Force 2 collections have witnessed an elegant growth on its 2nd day (1st Saturday). This action thriller, which collected 6.05 crore on its opening day, brought in approximately 7-7.5 crore yesterday and now its total collections are around 13.5 crore. The film should have earned more, considering the star cast and the action genre but these are still good numbers to go with, specially with the demonetization situation in India and the fact that no other releases in last 2 weeks have done any decent business.
John Abraham has once again proved his mettle for action flicks. This is his second action film this year after Rocky Handsome, which had also received similar response. Force 2 has got good reviews from critics and audiences and this will help it earn more money today and will help sustain the weekdays. It should touch the 20 crore mark easily in its opening weekend.
Force 2 also stars Sonakshi SInha and Tahir Raj Bhasin and is directed by Abhinay Deo.

auto.Bus - Seestadt: Autonomous bus line for Vienna
Vienna is getting a driverless bus line: The research project auto.Bus - Seestadt is being funded by the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology as part of the "Mobility of the Future" scheme. "Autonomous driving is a megatrend with the potential to change cities for good. As a public transport provider, we will be at the forefront of this," explains Wiener Linien Managing Director Günter Steinbauer.
The auto.Bus – Seestadt project aims to enhance the operational quality of future autonomous bus routes by means of planned technological innovations. The goal is to sustainably increase the efficiency and operational safety of autonomous vehicles, with the ultimate goal of operating a bus line in Seestadt under real conditions – with stops, timetables and real passengers.
Seestadt is a perfect area for a pilot route. One of the reasons is that it is an urban area which has less complex routes than the city centre. Though, on the other hand, Seestadt is also an innovative urban area – a test area of a smart city.

Contrary to popular belief, the first nations to make use of printing were the Chinese and Japanese in the early 1800's.
Woodblock printing is the name of one of the techniques they used. As the name suggests they made use of wood to paint on and then press onto paper with. The technique was used mostly for art forms and in Chinese Buddhist temple books.
One of the artists in Japan to make use of this technique was Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). He is mostly remembered this beautiful painting of a wave in front of Mount Fuji which he called The Great Wave Off Kanagawa. Click on the link, you won't be disappointed!
I've never studied art, which is kind of weird, because I've always found it really fascinating. So, when I came across the years of historical paintings and prints that Japanese artists left behind… I just couldn't stop searching for more and more to feed my hungry eyeballs with!
THEN I found Fuco… and became obsessed.
Fuco Ueda is undoubtably my favourite artist at this point in time. Her work is both unethical and non-sensical, but at the same time captivating and freakishly awesome!
I can stare at these prints for hours on end…
I love her work, because it gives me a dreamy feeling. The detail of the girl's hair in the images make me want to draw over them with precision and all the concentration I can offer. I could think up a story for every one of them.
This woman has the imagination of an old 'twisted sister' soul with the talent of a rainbow god.
I really don't have any better words to describe her.
Pam Grossman, author of Phantasmaphile, had the following to say about Ueda's work:
"The heroines of Fuco Ueda's paintings are often on the brink of danger. These beauties are at once victims and agents. But whether the threats are self-inflicted or not, they make for fierce and beautiful narratives."
Click on HERE to read Fuco Ueda's bio and to see more of her work. It's fantastic to see how she's grown as an artist in the past decade or so. While you're there would you mind purchasing and mailing me a print or two? hehe
So now it's your turn…who is your favourite artist and why?
Add links to images please! I'm the one with the hungry eyes…

Clif's Book World
Adventures from reading books captured within short reviews.
Recently added
6:00 pm 22 February 2013
This is a wispy dreamlike narrative of the memories of an older professional actor who is reflecting on past experiences while also describing what may be his last job of acting in a movie. His flashbacks to when he was 15 and had an illicit sexual affair with an older married woman provide a tension throughout the book that builds to a climatic ending with a twist.
There's a variety of components within the book that all seem to include a tie to the death of his daughter several years earlier. A daughter can be found, either symbolically or metaphorically, in all parts of the story, even in his teenage adulterous encounters.
Throughout the story he's questioning his memory. In the end we learn that memories of different people of the same event aren't always the same.
I suppose this book is best appreciated by older people (like me) who have many life experiences to reflect upon and to make sense of. However, I didn't feel comfortable with the erotic nature of the narrator's teenage years that include what is legally statutory rape. I suppose the excitement of vicariously experiencing forbidden sex plays a role in this book that is similar to that of murder in a murder mystery genre book. In other words, everyone agrees that murder is bad, but it sure is good at concentrating the reader's attention.

WOAH. Where the hell did that year go? Every year I get older (22 as of the 19th of December! thanks for all ya birthday wishes!) it seems as if the years fly by faster than I can scoff down a whole bucket of Cookie Time Christmas cookies. I have to say, I do prefer life as a twenty-something and absolutely adore the life I have created for myself.
As you all know, I graduated from university in December and transitioned myself into the self employed business lady that I have always dreamed to be which is so exciting I can't even put it into words, I got to travel to LA and do Coachella, Mexico and even did a 10 day road trip in a camper van in the South Island as well as a week in Sydney with my bestfriend/BF (man of my dreams!!!).
It's easily been the best year of my entire life and I am so certain that this year is going to beat it and I absolutely CANNOT WAIT!
- Attend at least one yoga/pilates class per week – they're free as part of my gym membership so why the hell not, I am a crazy anxious lady and I know I will seriously benefit from this!
- I'm almost embarrassed about this one because surely it's got to be the number one most cliche New Years resolution like, ever. I want to get myself into a weekly gym routine – *cue the Lululemon online order to spark unlikely motivation*
- Move out of home and spend ALL THE MONEY ON HOMEWARE!
- This is something I've gotten better at recently but I want to continue to work on kicking self comparison in the butt. One of my favourite quotes ever is "Flowers are pretty but so are Fairy Lights and they look nothing alike"
- Re-launch the blog. IT'S HAPPENING.
- REALLY commit to YouTube and get one casual vlog and one produced/sit down kinda style video up per week – how fun!!!
- 2018 is going to be a big focus on nurturing friendships with people who are loving and supportive, and not worry about the ones who aren't. If you're not drifting away from people or even finding yourself becoming closer with newer friends, you're not growing. It doesn't have to be negative, it's just life!
- Finally get to Bali with Liam and spend 10 days in dreamy heaven!
- Nail the snowboard – I'm getting there but still learning, next year I want to get super confident
And I'm sure I'll think of many more, but it's a good start 🙂
Sponsored posts.. ohhhh the controversy! As we head into a new year I feel like I do have to remind everyone of a couple of things about how I personally approach sponsored posts because I am totally well aware of other Bloggers/YouTubers/Instagrammers that take on sponsored opportunities that aren't authentic and are purely keen on making some cash, and it's shit for you guys! Everyone can see right through it and it really takes away from the genuine authenticity behind other influencers who only take on sponsorships that they truly believe in.
I will never ever work with a brand that I don't relate to or admire. I will never promote a product in exchange for sponsorship that I don't like or genuinely use in my personal routine. Without sounding like I'm sitting up on a high horse (I swear I don't mean to sound like this!) I have declined a number of brand partnerships and sponsored post opportunities over the past year, either because the brand doesn't sit well with my own or because I simply don't like the product.
I essentially just want to assure you guys that I would never say yes to a sponsored post purely for the monetary side of it, it's gotta sit well me and that is THEEEE most important thing.
Again, I just want to say a big thank you to all of you who take interest in the blog, my posts and what I have to say in general, it means the world to me and I love the relationships I have created with you guys. I hope you're all excited about the New Year and have plenty of exciting goals ready to be achieved because you're all incredible people and I know you will achieve them.
All the best for the most amazing year EVER.

19 Nov '15 home | more politics
The debate continues with intensity. An NBC poll of people in the US finds 65 percent favoring additional ground troops to fight Isis and 31 percent against. Minnesota's Senator Al Franken is against. He argues that more troops would put the US on a "slippery slope." But there is no such thing as a slippery slope. It's just words. Every action involves choice and limits. If this were not so, humanity would have destroyed itself during the Cold War.
And Franken suggests that we would be doomed to follow an unfolding of events identical to what occurred in the US occupation of Iraq, as if the war against ISIS and the war fought in Iraq were exactly the same – the last war fallacy – another denial of choice. If we do put more troops on the ground against Isis, it is unlikely to be a massive invasion like the one into Iraq in 2003. It may be more strikes with more troops but less occupation. And there won't be Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bremer around making their bac choices.
A part of the raging debate is about admitting refugees. While visiting the Philippines, President Obama complained:
We are not well served when, in response to a terrorist attack, we descend into fear and panic. We don't make good decisions if it's based on hysteria or an exaggeration of risks. Apparently they are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America. At first, they were too scared of the press being too tough on them in the debates. Now they are scared of 3-year-old orphans. That doesn't seem so tough to me.
In an exercise of self-importance, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz took offense.
If you want to insult me, you can do it overseas, you can do it in Turkey, you can do it in foreign countries, but I would encourage you, mister president, come back and insult me to my face.
Cruz, by the way, insults the president frequently. Also, Columnist Frank Bruni has a piece in the New York Times dated November 14 titled "Ted Cruz's Laughable Disguise." Responding to Bruni's more detailed insult is not as dramatic and attention-getting as challenging the President. No record of Cruz responding to Bruni is available online.
On the issue of migrants from Syria, MSNBC talk show host Chris Matthews has been claiming that young men migrating from Syria rather than running away should be fighting to improve their country. This is something I wondered about back on August 24 when I wrote:
The European Union is handling the migration tragedy fairly well. But I can't get over the idea that, instead of running from their country, people should stay and fight to improve it – not possible for everybody, for sure.
The Obama administration and the European Union, as I see it, missed an opportunity in late 2011 and early 2012 when young men in Syria were outraged and complaining about being ignored by the West while their communities were under brutal attack to the Assad regime. Perhaps with adequate help more of them would have been inclined to stay and fight rather than become refugees. Among those who did stay and fight were those who joined their fellow Sunni who disliked the West – people we are now calling Islamist terrorists.
Making decisions about Syria and terrorism has not been as easy as some who posture righteously have pretended. Some of them with only half of the president's understanding of events have been quick to denounce him.
Some of the hostility against the president is passion bolstered by ignorance. Yesterday someone in Virginia shouted at a gentleman, Samer Shalaby, at a routine meeting about building plans for a new mosque. It's reported by Raw Story as follows:
Video of the meeting shows a burly man yelling and pointing his finger at Shalaby. "Every one of you are terrorists, I don't care what you say," he yells. "Every Muslim is a terrorist." He also tells Shalaby, "Shut your mouth. I don't want to hear your mouth. I will do everything that I can do to keep you from doing what you're doing. It will happen. That will happen." Another American flag and hat-wearing man is also seen yelling and pointing at Shalaby, who is holding a poster board with a building outline."This is evil," the man shouts.
These shouters will not be accused by Fox News contributors of "political correctness." That phase has become meaningless as the sides in our political debates has its own idea of correctness. In the place of good arguments we have statements like the one at Forbes magazine:
Someone tell the President we can't fight radical Islam by being Politically Correct.
Public discourse, as we know, is usually accompanied by verbal noise.

Improve Your English
Teaching English
Teachers' Zone
20 Questions
Practice the formulation of closed questions
by Lynne Hand
This is a good game to play at the end of a course. Your students should know enough vocabulary to be able to enjoy playing this game.
Your students should understand the difference between open and closed questions.
You can take the role as games master, or students can take it in turns.
The Rules
The games master has to think up a word.
The word should be something real: either animal / vegetable / or mineral.
The players have to guess the word using Yes/No (closed) questions.
The first questions to ask should be very broad:-
Is it animal? (This covers mammals, birds, amphibians, fish etc)
Is it vegetable? (This covers any plant, fungus etc..)
Is it mineral (If it isn't alive, doesn't grow, comes from the ground etc.)
Then move on to more general questions:-
Alive / Dead
Edible / Inedible
You get the idea.
Only closed questions should be answered. The games master's responses must be a straight "yes" or "no" answer, but they can include adverbs like, "usually," "sometimes," or "rarely."
"Yes" answers don't count towards the 20 questions, and the person who asked it can ask another question, until they get a "No" answer.
Every "No" answer counts against the 20 questions.
Someone has to keep track of the number of "No" questions.
If the group is strong enough, the person who guesses the word correctly has to think up the next word.

Real life stories of a Minneapolis Bus Driver
i really thought you would remember me from the bus rodeo. But may you don't. yes i'm the guy holging all of the purse's please tell the other ladies HI. and maybe i'll see one of you 4 at the state fair. Glad your not going on strike and good luck in 2 years.
Hi Jeanne,
I featured your post "He remembers me" in the Aug. 6 issue of my weekly email newsletter, Transit Intelligence, which likely explains the traffic bump. If you'd like to see that particular issue, here's the link: http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs065/1101838178946/archive/1102198461686.html
Thanks for providing such interesting reading.
TJ - Of course I remember you!! You didn't have your name on that comment so I didn't know it was you.
How could I forget the guy that showed me 2 new drinks...the fuzzy screw-up was the best.
Hope to see you in Albert Lea...in the meantime, let me know if you are ever in Minneapolis and I'll see if we can get some of "Hecklers Row" to go hang out...teach us more drinks!
I'll have to take a look at it...thanks. How did you find my site? I'm always curious how people find my little spot on the HUGE world of web.
steve, I tried the link you sent and it said I was "forbidden" to go there. What the heck?? I haven't been "forbidden" to do what I wanted for decades, I'm feeling like a little kid about to be grounded! Any other way I can see your newsletter?
Sorry, I don't know why the link didn't work. You can also get to the newsletter archives by visiting my website at www.TransitTalent.com. There's a box at the bottom of the left-hand column that says "Free E-Newsletters." Just click on the "E-Newsletter Archive" link. Hope that works for you.
In regard to how I found your blog. . . I don't really remember. I'm glad I did, though!
Steve - I'll give that a try. Thanks. Glad to see yours wasn't a one time visit! Welcome back. Hope you enjoy my blogs!
