SARAWAK is awash with talent in creative arts – from painting, handicrafts, poetry, writing, photography, architecture, sculpture, and structure, to the many forms of performing arts.
While this reflects the uniqueness of our artistically and culturally diverse society, the majority of locals, however, have yet to warm to art appreciation.
This reality is not lost on local artist Gerald Goh. He has stressed the need to foster greater appreciation of art in Kuching and will continue to contribute towards the development of art in Sarawak.
A third-generation potter, his life has revolved around art since childhood, starting with making pottery at his family's factory and workshop before moving into painting on ceramics – and now on canvas.
Today, he is sole proprietor and chief curator of an event company, as well as Sarawak Handicraft, Arts, and Souvenir Association president and Sarawak Artists Society vice-president.
Having spent many decades working in the arts, event, and tourism industry, Goh finally put on his very first solo exhibition, themed 'The Voyage', at the Saradise Gallery in Brighton Square, Kuching, recently to share the twists and turns of his life's journey – but, nonetheless still an incredible journey, as he put it.
The collection of acrylic and oil paintings as well as sculptures and photography at the exhibition communicated and expressed his discovery, confusion, pain, sadness, hope, coping, acceptance, and healing.
"At first, I never thought about doing this and becoming a serious artist. But my wife passed away about a year ago due to cancer and I found solace in painting," he told thesundaypost.
Art has grounded and helped him navigate through the confusion and harsh world, and every stroke gave him the peace and strength to come to terms with the finality of loss as well as to persevere and move forward.
"I even took a trip to France and Paris. It enabled to look back and recall how I started as an artist. Artists normally start by copying the works of others to brush up their skills. And where becoming an artist is concerned, the trip was an eye-opener for me," he said.
Oscar-Claude Monet (France), Leonardo da Vinci (Italy), and Vincent van Gogh (Holland) are among the immortals of the art world whose works Goh studied and copied.
These all-time greats have influenced and inspired the development of his own artistic style and prowess.
"I never thought one day I would have the chance to go to the pond and paint like Monet … in front of the green lovers' bridge. It was a really a dream come true," he recalled fondly.
"I think every artist deserves a chance to really go out there and see how artists are regarded with respect, appreciated and treasured in other countries. Perhaps, it will give them the inspiration and drive to go to the next level."
After a life-changing episode of transformation and growth, Goh feels it is time to promote art and the appreciation of art in Sarawak.
"One of the things I want to do through this exhibition is to use the proceeds to help charitable bodies, and more importantly, to preserve the techniques and skills of various arts, including through documentation, so the knowledge can be passed down," he said.
"Artists now have a big role to play in both developing and developed societies, particularly in preserving diminishing arts. We need to start somewhere and look into how to further this endeavour."
Role of art in society
According to Goh, art plays a pertinent role in the development of an economy or a society and the discourse of social, cultural, and global concerns.
"It influences society by changing opinions, instilling values and translating experiences across space and time, which is important to a developing economy.
"Research has shown art affects the fundamental sense of self and propels change in the thinking of a person – like how a song, film or novel can arouse emotions in those who encounter it, inspiring them to rally for change which they now see through the encounter with art," he explained.
Painting, sculpture, music, literature and the other arts, he pointed out, were often considered as the archive of a society's collective memory.
"Personally, art is important because it's a form of communication that will structure the mentality of society at large. It allows people from different cultures and times to communicate via images, sounds and stories, instil values in ethnicity and uplift patriotism."
He said to express inner feelings through subject matters, colours and textures, artists have the unique ability to engage individuals in a very deep and personal way.
"Art can help us understand our humanity and the historical conditions we live in, but more importantly, it can draw us into thinking whether our realities need to be changed.
"Art is contagious – an art piece can inspire other forms of art and serve to remind us of our beauty, strength, dreams and fragility."
For instance, one of his paintings titled 'The Prayer', which he dedicates to his late wife, portrays the thoughts of a cancer patient with a short poem to go with it as follows:
"When my world turns down and weary,
A pair of wings is what I ask from thee,
Fly me to your wholesome sanctuary,
Where peace at heart is all I plead."
This piece has been sold and part of the proceeds will be donated the National Cancer Society Sarawak.
Goh noted that works of art may also have a much-intended purpose to communicate ideas politically, spiritually or philosophically, creating a sense of beauty and pleasure, exploring the nature of perception or generating strong emotions.
In recent years, he said, art has become a vehicle to drive tourism where people are lured to travel to explore and engage in activities related to art, adding, "This includes travelling to art festivals, concerts, gastronomic and traditional cuisine related events, and to explore famous museums, art galleries, and many more."
Among his collection is a hand-woven piece of collage art or tikar bergerang created through a traditional method of tapestry weaving unique to Sarawak.
It was woven for Saradise Gallery by Ngot Bi or Nek Ngot, 86, who was awarded the Seal of Excellence for Products of Southeast Asia from Unesco in 2005.
Traditionally these woven bergerang mats were made for a variety of uses such as prayer mats, to welcome the birth of the first born, for the groom to sit on during a marriage ceremony, or as floor coverings during special occasions.
The mat incorporates a surrounding open weave, which creates a lace-like impression pattern around the tapestry.
This particular unique hand-made piece entitled 'Solidarity' reflects the unity and solidarity of the diverse cultural identities through an ethnic tapestry.
Lack of art appreciation
Goh said art appreciation in Sarawak is still in its infancy and called for greater efforts from all sectors to take it to the next level.
"In a developing society, art is often pushed to the secluded corner on the list of priorities. In an economy where basic necessities are dominating the bulk of the household earnings, art appreciation seems a far cry which may even be unheard of."
He said Sarawak is blessed with rich cultures, which are perfect for developing the art scene, adding that these, in turn, could serve as a resource-rich reservoir for the development of other industries.
"In a developing society and economy, the authorities would have to base their planning on a genuinely holistic understanding of development. This may involve giving as much attention to the development of its arts and cultures as to that of its economy, politics and technology," he suggested.
With his involvement in arts-related organisations, Goh proposed that the idea of setting up of the Sarawak Art Gallery be holistically explored to generate greater interest in art.
"If we look at Malaysia as a whole, Sarawak is the most creative – hence the need for a platform for our artists to showcase works and be in the public eye.
"We need to seriously look into how to lift this sector up because if artists come up with something but the society do not appreciate it, then it's kind of a rejection and putdown."
Goh emphasised that the art ecosystem in Sarawak needs to be elevated to a level where art will be seen as an investment, not just an object of decoration.
"To achieve this, we, as a fraternity of artistically inclined enthusiasts, will be proud to contribute in whatever way we can to the development of art in the state," he said.

Known for snack boxes that conveniently pop through the letterbox and having recently expanded to include general retail, graze is revolutionising our snacking habits.
Anthony Fletcher was working for a famous drinks brand when he first got his hands on a beta prototype of a graze box: "I was so excited by the idea of how technology may affect the food business that I quit my job," he says.
Beginning in its innovation team, he is now CEO of graze, and leads the snacking subscription service in their operations across the UK and the US. Anthony says it was the convergence of technology with FMCG that first attracted him to graze: "I saw so much potential in the convenience of delivery, the personalisation, new ways of building brands and data…and the ways you can create unique experiences."
Novel applications of technology remain at the core of his vision for the company's future success: "I think technology can fundamentally change food for the better. It's a troubled industry, but I don't think the food sector needs to be vilified. It needs to become more responsive, create better foods and build better brands."
A strong adherent to the "meritocracy of reason" – the belief that reason should prevail over a rigid organisational structure – Anthony views a vibrant economy as one that "brings people together who have different skills, backgrounds and orientations, that's when interesting stuff happens."

It varies in color from golden brown to green, generally has 4 black spots on the wing covers, and always has a black triangle on the area of its back just after its head. Larvae will develop below ground and can be found feeding on the lower beans on the soil. Feeding injury by the larva may be found on the roots, but such injury does not usually kill the bean plants. The adults will feed on both the foliage and the bean pods usually near the top of the plants. Insect bean plant foliage damage is most noticeable when the leaves turn dry and discolor in late August or early September, pod feeding may intensify as the pods become more succulent than the foliage.

TITTSWORTH, William G. (1847-1925). Outskirt Episodes. Des Moines, Iowa: Success Composition & Printing Co., 1927.
8vo., (8 x 5 ½ inches). Photograph of the author tipped in on title page. Original publisher's maroon cloth, front cover and spine lettered in gilt; dust jacket (large strip missing from dust jacket).
First edition. "The author of this story was fitted from childhood for the wild, turbulent life he experienced in the wild and woolly west of early days. While unschooled in books, his skill with horse an gun gave him a wide acquaintance on the outskirts where mounted vagabonds lived a very romantic, exciting life. It is along this line of outdoor life, where every man was a law unto himself, that he speaks between these covers of these unusual incidents" (Introductory). The episodes in this volume recount the adventures of the outlaws in the Rocky Mountains during the great westward expansion of the Union Pacific Railroad. "This rare book is the personal narrative of the author's life and adventures in the Wyoming country and his experiences among the Rocky Mountain outlaws in the days when the Union Pacific was building westward. The author tells about Tom Horn's killings and his execution" (Adams). Tom Horn (1860-1903) was an Old West lawman, scout, soldier, hired gunman, detective, outlaw, and assassin. During his four years as a Pinkerton detective he participated in regular shoot-outs, killing seventeen men, outstripping many of the more famous Western gunmen. Ironically, he was hanged in Cheyenne, Wyoming, the day before his 43rd birthday, for a murder that he likely did not commit.

As usual, the "State Literary Award" has had a shroud-like call; a ghost-like run up; an abrupt delivery, but with trumpets, pomp and pageantry; and a stroke on our brains to carry us through the remainder of the year. The "State Literary Award" is often upheld for it is where the cup is received from the President's hand; is a trilingual appreciation of literature and is "a state felicitation" nonetheless.Then, on the other hand, these are the very reasons why the prizes given should have greater credibility and weight. But, sadly, and not too surprisingly this has not often been the case; and then we add to it 2010.
I received an e.mail on one of my unhacked accounts showing a beaming Thisuri Wanniarachchi holding aloft a trophy for the "best novel" of the year (2009) at the said "State Literary Awards". The work for which she has been adjudged the "best novelist" is her maiden Colombo Streets: a novel which, by all means, was fairly below average. Now, bear with my judgment, even though it may be of suspect – for I, myself, have been often deemed as being unable to write a decent piece. But, where Colombo Streets is concerned, I felt it was an amateurish effort of an emerging writer out of high school – no more. My efforts of trying to read the work proved not much fruit either.
One of Colombo Streets' early critics was the blogger "egghead", in his/her blog 'Sri Lankan Books'. S/he basically tore apart Thisuri's effort raising, to begin with, questions of Thisuri's very legitimacy as a writer. I was actually reserved and reticent in my comments; nor did I attempt a review of the book: simply letting Thisuri be, after the "egghead" onslaught. But, I remember how there were several 'bloggers-in' who went to extremes in defending Thisuri Wanniarachchi and Colombo Streets. Hiding behind dubious 'blogger names' they tried to build up a case – a case which, in itself, I felt was futile – for the writer. Among the apologists who could be identified were a campus don and Prof Neluka Silva of Colombo University.
Reading through the debate that had developed I remember baffling myself as to what Thisuri Wanniarachchi's connection with Prof. Silva was. This was for no other reason than my having met the professor on several occasions; and as I now found her championing a major defense on behalf of a late teen Thisuri writing. But, that was it and I soon got back to other concerns of the world.
I didn't hear anything of Colombo Streets until this – the "State Literary Award". I was both amused and shocked by this pronunciation – for what it implies is that Sri Lanka has not produced a novel worthier than this average text for the year 2009? I seriously have no idea as to what other books were considered for this prize; and as to whether the prize holds much hype and interest. But, surely, there has to be a quality in the awarding of a prize of this nature; carrying the credentials it magnificently promises it carries. When I shared this news – that Colombo Streets has won the prize in question – with a fellow critic, he jokingly observed that the Gratiaen being won by Mythil's Secret (by Prashani Rambukwella: what some felt was another controversial decision earlier on this year) and now an amateurish novel by a late teen winning the State Prize proves that it is surely the "Children's Year". Not the caustic sense of the cynic you expect on this jubilant occasion – but, I hope you see the point. One shouldn't forget that 2009 was also the year of the likes of Chucking the Dragon (Mark Wilde's novel) and the retrospective The Whirlwind (by A. Santhan).
The evening's programme, I am told, dished out a solid 39 literature-oriented prizes. But, surely, these prizes have a good sheen of transparency and credibility to gain. Not only in the awards, per se but, also in the extension for a wider participation and in actually being more public in and more committed to the promotion of the prize as a potent forum of national literature; rather than a freak hide and seek game beefing out queer heroines.

Yep, I've written more than 2K words in a week. I'll probably write a little more even before I go to sleep tonight. I also have another 10K words that I've written about events in the book that I just haven't gotten to in the story yet.
I feel like I know the characters well enough now that I just put them in a setting and then see what happens.
This week I also discovered a wealth of information out there on the blogosphere for the aspiring writer. I find it admirable that published authors and dreamers like me who want to be published are so helpful in dispensing their wisdom in blogs.
After reading through some of the tips other writers have shared, I've now recruited Carrie to read what I've written. She sad she'd only read what I've read to her. Fair enough. Between me reading to her, her reading and my writing I'm really moving on this work in progress.
Carrie's great at feedback, tells me things like "this character is too perfect, no one's going to be able to relate". I can, I joke before fixing it. I love the honest feedback. I wish there was a way for more people to give me feedback. "You look at pacing" "You check out the characters" sort of the divide and conquer method.
Just thinking about the wealth of published books out there that aren't very well done and thinking about all the submissions editors must receive, makes me glad I'm not an editor.
Enjoy the week, hopefully I'm a few more scenes into my journey by this time next week.
Oh, personally I think Tolkein has Frodo completely beat when it comes to epic journeys.

Former DHS Employee: Obama Is Acting More Like a Publicist Than a President
A former National Guard Specialist is now facing decades in prison for trying to join ISIS and hatch a terror plot killing 150 people.
Hasan Edmonds pleaded guilty in a Chicago federal court to conspiring and attempting to provide material support to a terrorist group.
Edmonds had planned to fly to Egypt, hoping eventually to join ISIS, but was arrested at Chicago Midway Airport in March.
At his sentencing March 18, he faces a sentence of up to 30 years.
His cousin, Jonas Edmonds, pleaded guilty last week to similar charges.
Jonas allegedly planned to wear his cousin's military uniform and attack the Joliet Armory in Illinois where Hasan trained. Prosecutors say the men hoped to kill as many as 150 people.
Both men are from Aurora, IL, about 40 miles outside of Chicago.

You know it's been a while I wrote a blog post, when I had to use my password protect app to locate my WordPress username & password to login 😕
So here I am again, with a quick thought taken from my general reading through the book of Ezekiel. Have I ever mentioned that I love the books of Jeremiah & Ezekiel?
Do I understand everything from them? No…..but the more you read, the more God opens your heart to his Word.
As I read through Chapter 3 of Ezekiel, the verses 12-17 stood out to me. In these verses, you get a glimpse of the attitude of the prophet Ezekiel! Drawing in the immediate context of what is going on at this period, we understand that the captivity of Judah had already taken place; Nebuchadnezzar has besieged Judah & rounded up the choice men & women for Babylon. King Jehoiachin who was the king of Judah at the time, was also taken to captivity, Nebuchadnezzar instilled Zedekiah as the last king of the remnants of Judah. (2Kings 24:10-15)
Ezekiel who was one of the captives of Judah is called of God to be a prophet as he & the captives are dwelling at the river Chebar in the land of Babylon (Ezekiel 1:1-3)
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity, The word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him. Ezekiel 1:1-3
The commands of God to Ezekiel are clear,
1: Go preach to my people
2: Warn them to turn back to me
3: Tell them I have not forgotten them
4: Warn other nations of my judgments
Now prior to Ezekiel leaving to preach to the remnant of those captive, this is what is said of Ezekiel in terms of his attitude to the command of God "So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me." Ezekiel 3:14
Now bare in mind, Ezekiel had lived through some of the rebellious years of Judah, & grew up during the reign of King Josiah to Jehoiachin, so he had legitimate reason to be upset with his people for how they had disobeyed God.
Let's not forget also that God makes it clear to Ezekiel that whilst he will have the ears of the people, they WILL not listen to him "But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted." Ezekiel 3:7
So Ezekiel was aggrieved & bitter in his spirit towards the people, but the Spirit of God was still strong on him as he took him to the captives. Showing that Ezekiel had a heart of obedience, even though he himself did not particularly like the task at hand, nevertheless he obeyed God.
Now whilst Ezekiel left in bitterness & anger to the people, his attitude changed during a period of 7 days as he sat amongst them "Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days. Ezekiel 3:15
Ezekiel, once he had been amongst the remnant, no doubt seeing the state in which the people were in, his heart softened to the cause. This reminds me of Christ's surmisings & compassion he had for the people in Matthew 9:36 that they were scattered like sheep with no shepherd.
"But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd." – Matthew 9:36
Ezekiel would go on for 48 huge chapters obeying God, sometimes undertaking some of the most difficult tasks God had ever given to man, solidifying himself as a great prophet of God & a giant of the faith, but that was not how he started.
All of this to say this one simple fact; sometimes God calls us to obey him, when we may have our own reservations as to why we should not. Maybe a past hurt, or fear, past disappointments, disillusionment, doubts, inadequacy etc but regardless if we have these thoughts, just like Ezekiel, it should not stop us from obeying the command of God, in whatever capacity God has called us to. God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called. Amen

Suicide Squad is about a group of villains getting a second chance (if you can even call it that) to do some good. They get sent on suicide missions by the government, and in return get time shaved off their sentence, along with the privilege of stretching their muscles and letting off some built up steam. We've yet to see exactly what they're mission will be. What we do know is outside of the SKWAD, there will be two major characters in Joker and Batman, who could have a role what happens.
Presumably, Suicide Squad will tease each villain's past run ins with the Batman, and how he got them all locked up. We've seen the Bat in each trailer released so far, with only one character's confirmed interaction, Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie). Now there's a new rumor that goes into detail on how exactly the Batman ties into this film, and who exactly he interacts with. These rumors could be considered spoilers, however they must also be taken with a grain of salt.
According to a rumor, Batman will appear in three scenes, with only three characters. The first interaction will be with Deadshot (Will Smith), in a scene that's being described as "emotional". Second, there's a car chase sequence that involves Joker (Jared Leto) and Harley Quinn. No confirmation on exactly when this takes place, but it'll be the only interaction Batman has with Joker, until the solo movie. Lastly, there will be one more flashback scene between Deadshot and Batman.
For time sensitivity and story focus, it makes sense to feature Batman with only three villains, who I'm predicting will have major parts in the DCEU moving forward. Joker, Harley Quinn, and Deadshot are also the three villains I'm most looking forward to seeing.
Its almost a guarantee that Batman has a past with Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), El Diablo (Jay Hernandez), Slipknot (Adam Beach), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney) and Katana (Karen Fukuhara), which could further be explored in the solo movie or Suicide Squad 2.
We'll find out soon whether this rumor has any truth to it or not, come this August.

A blank page in a book or the incorrect medication package insert – both these scenarios can be avoided by using a sheet verification system as an essential quality assurance tool in the printing shop, providing a competitive edge for the printer. The new Vision Sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs are fully automated and integrated in the machine control system, meaning that no user intervention is required. Trained operators can work on machines equipped with this technology in any printing shop, anywhere in the world, and faster job changes boost productivity.
The graphics industry has recently been perceived to have been especially hard hit by the economic crisis. A slightly more in-depth analysis indicates that while the amount of work carried out by the printing sector has barely fallen, there are nonetheless major shifts taking place within the industry. Factors behind this transformation include quality, flexibility owing to smaller runs, cost pressure, automation and globalisation.
In addition to the printing machines themselves, these factors also particularly affect the post-processing of printed paper to produce books, brochures, leaflets and packaging products.
This can involve folding and collating the printed sheets, followed by stapling or binding. Even your digitally printed electricity bill is folded automatically and inserted mechanically into an envelope along with a promotional flier, which itself may also be personalised.
Printing shops and bookbinders work swiftly to turn out a great variety of high-quality printed documents every day of the week. It is important, for example, that blank pages should not inadvertently find their way into books, and that the month of May should not occur twice in a calendar. In short, the pages included must always be the right ones, and wrong sheets must always be detected.
Sheet verification
Although an unprinted blank sheet can be detected using conventional sensor technology, if you want to make sure that the page of the telephone book being processed is page 145 and not page 144, a sophisticated detection system is required to detect the subtle difference in the complex printed image. In some cases, a barcode or data-matrix code on the edge of each page is sufficient. Often, however, this has to be done using the print image alone, which is where industrial vision comes into play.
Sheet verification using industrial vision has been under constant development, and has today progressed from its multi-faceted experimental stage in the late 1990s to becoming a standard requirement for new machines.
At the Print09 trade fair in Chicago last September, industrial vision for sheet verification –usually in the form of code readers - was more or less a standard feature.
A recently published Ernst & Young report on the printing industry substantiates the view that demand for sheet verification is rising, also within China's rapidly growing printing industry. When processing packing inserts for the pharmaceuticals industry, automatic sheet verification is often a prerequisite for the printer being awarded the order.
Automation takes pressure off the operator
At first sight, the high level of complexity of industrial vision contrasts with the often low qualification levels machine operators. No machinery manufacturer can know what products will be produced in three years' time on a given machine, which may be shipped to any country in the world. Neither can the manufacturer know how well qualified the person operating the machine will be. However, we can be reasonably confident that the operator will have no knowledge whatsoever of industrial vision.
It makes sense, therefore, for the machine to be able to control all its primary functions automatically and reliably. This applies especially to complex image processing functions, such as the teaching-in of the required page and the detection process itself. The print image that needs to be detected may consist of text, graphics or photos. Then again, it could just be one plain colour.
Modern sensors that have been tried and tested in industry
Pepperl+Fuchs is a sensor manufacturer that relies on its 30 years of experience of dealing with the particular requirements of the graphics industry to develop a solution for this application. For more than ten years now, industrial vision has been a permanent feature of our wide product portfolio. Our Vision Sensors are a special class of device that combine all the various components for illumination, image capture and full evaluation in a single housing. The Vision Sensor thus combines the complex detection of industrial vision technology with the compact housing and rugged connection system of a conventional sensor.
To relieve pressure on the operator during sheet verification, the teach-in process has been fully automated so that it can be carried out by the machine control system independently and free of any operator intervention. A wide range of practical tests were conducted in order to optimise the image processing algorithms for the widest possible range of printed images and paper surfaces. These tests resulted in a Vision Sensor that works automatically and reliably and that can, for example, differentiate between the German and English versions of a medication package insert.
Only if an error is detected does the operator need to use the error image to decide if the page in question is actually incorrect, or if the minor deviation in print quality can be tolerated in future.
The Ethernet interface enables images to be transmitted to the machine control system, where error images can, for example, be displayed on the controller's touchscreen. This interface also allows the machine manufacturer to perform remote diagnostics and remote maintenance.
Sheet verification is becoming a standard feature
The machine manufacturer is thus being offered a tried-and-tested, practical solution The compact design of the Vision Sensors, which combines all the required components in a single housing, makes it easier to retrofit older machines. This is of particular interest when financial constraints make a major investment difficult.
The printing shop acquires a reliable, low-maintenance quality assurance resource that does not require operators with a different set of qualifications. This improves the payback on the investment and produces an immediate competitive edge when quoting for higher value print orders.
Vision Sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs thus enable sheet verification to spread further as a standard feature of the graphics industry, one that will soon become part of the basic package on new machines for postpress applications.

The Beauty in Distortion
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege to attend my brother's Masters of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition. The show was beautiful, inspiring and powerful. For over half of Cory's life, he has been working with clay. I remember him coming home from his first ceramic class with a beautiful and simple pot. The year before I had taken the same class and my pot looked more like a blob than a vase. Needless to say, he had a gift…I did not.
So, for the last 15 or so years my family and I have watched his art mature, change, grow and develop. I have loved every minute of it and feel blessed to be a part of it. I even get to showcase a few pieces in my home. I could go on about how proud I am of my brother and his skills, but instead I want to share something he said in his presentation.
Cory has spent the last few years developing a technique where he places hand-colored paper-thin clay flowers, shapes and lines on top of a clay cylinder or tile. He then moves and molds the clay until it creates the vase, bowl, cup, or tile that he was imagining. The challenge of this technique is that the original stripes, flowers or spots change and move in a way that you don't always expect them to.
It is a lot like life. We might expect our life to look one specific way all the time. Like myself, you might have plans for your future, thoughts of what your life might look like at one point or another, but more often than not our lives get stretched, challenged, pulled and distorted. Maybe you even feel like you are in that place right now.
When Cory was describing his work at the gallery exhibit, he talked about the excitement of seeing how a line of color might move. He spoke about the experiment that drove him to see how he could shape and mold color into something beautiful and the challenge that drove him to try new things.
In our lives, those experiences often feel like the opposite. How often those growing pains are the most difficult challenges that we go through. Sometimes it feels like the grief of losing someone we love hurts beyond what we can even imagine. Too often pain and suffering drive us to seek out any relief. More often than not, a move, challenging parenting moments, aging parents, new jobs and job loss feel like we are being pulled, pushed and molded into something that we didn't really want to be when we started.
But, and this is a big BUT…those are often the moments that make you the beautiful piece of art that God made you to be. In my brother's art, it is those swirls, distortions, stretches and twists that bring energy and life into his pieces. In fact, they are my favorite parts of his work.
I wonder if it is those very difficult moments that create hope in our own lives. Not because those moments are perfect or what we planned on but because it is in those moments that we are required to be fully in the hands of the One who is molding and shaping us. It means that we have to trust that the Maker is watching those parts of our lives and His hands are directly moving us to the place God wants us to go. I pray that wherever God is molding you, you are able to see the beauty of you in these very moments.

DIY homemade beeswax thread conditioner
Some embroidery threads, like metallic threads, are simply beasts that can only be tamed with the use of some help. Like the mighty thread conditioner. Little did I know that a small addition to my embroidery tool case can have such an impact! Especially with metallics, I'm happy for any help that makes using these gorgeous but often nasty to work with threads easier.
What is a thread conditioner?
A thread conditioner or thread wax is used to apply a protective coat around threads. For this you lay the thread on the thread wax surface, hold it in place with your thumb and pull it through the whole length. If you want to apply it to your thread's ends only, lay them on the thread wax and pull it with your thumb holding it down. Then use your thumb and forefinger to pull the thread between your fingers and spread the coat evenly.
Here are the benefits of thread conditioners
- the additional coat around the fibers helps to prevent the thread fraying as much
- embroidery floss can be threaded easier since the tip is stabilized and the fibers don't separate easily
- metallic threads tend to behave better, fray much less and can be threaded without the cursing
However, depending on the kind of thread conditioner you choose and how much of it, it can leave a residue on your thread. That is way you shouldn't use wax that clings a lot. If the wax attracts too much dirt or dust and clings to it, the stitches can look greyish and not as vibrant anymore (or worse very yucky). If you want to make your own beeswax conditioner, try if the wax sticks to your finger easily. There are differences depending on how clean the beeswax is. I suggest using food grade beeswax used for cosmetics.
Traditionally, thread conditioner is made with beeswax. Coincidently, I made some dip-candles and shapes with my kids a couple of years ago and had some beeswax at hand. Given that you only need a very small amount of beeswax, it's perfect if you have it already at hand and don't need to buy some. You can cut off the bottom of a beeswax candle or the drippings of a used one. You only need a little bit, really.
If you have to buy the beeswax to make your thread conditioner – by all means, save yourself the time and purchase a ready-made thread conditioner or thread wax! Unless you want to make a production line of thread wax of want to use it for candles, too, it's just too small an amount you need. Ready made thread waxes can be found in many variations. Here is a unicorn thread gloss,a beeswax version in a lipstick tube and cute shaped beeswax versions. (all these links are Etsy affiliate links)
To make 1 small container of beeswax thread conditioner you'll need
- purified beeswax – cut off some shavings of a bar like I did, use pastilles/granules of beeswax or cut off the end of a beeswax candle
- a tea light tin or another very small container suitable for melting in a water bath – keep in mind that beeswax is very hard to remove, so don't use your chocolate melting pan or something that does require cleaning afterward
- a small pot, stove and a metal grid to lay in the pot like a metal strainer
- a container with a lid to store the thread wax – I used a plastic container for beads. You can use empty containers for lip balms or other cosmetics.
So let's start making thread wax!
1// Cut your beeswax in very small chunks. The thinner the slice, the faster it will melt. Use a hot waterproof container to put your beeswax in.
2// Pour a little bit of water in your smallest pot and heat the stove at the lowest temperature possible. Put your metal container filled with beeswax on some sort of grid, like my guinea pig hey rack here. I use it so the bubbles from below don't cause the small and very light tin to tip over. You can try it without, but I have warned you 😉
If the lowest temperature of your stove needs to long or it doesn't melt properly go up a little bit with the heat. The water doesn't need to cook – as you can see in the picture a little simmering is enough!
3// Once the beeswax is molten pour it into the small container. Make sure you don't burn your fingers on the tin! I used pliers to get it out. Wait until it's solid and cold. Let it cool slowly, don't put it into the fridge or freezer to cool off. I heard this makes beeswax candles less good, so maybe it can affect the quality of thread wax, too?
A second method I wanted to show you (and show off really, because I thought it was so genius….) is the one you can see above. Here is the plan:
- pick up a tealight
- separate the candle part from the wick
- insert the wick into the tin again
- fill it up to the brim with beeswax nips or cuts of beeswax
- lit the candle and wait until the wax is molten
- optional: to melt even more wax for a second or third container, pour out the molten wax from time to time and add more beeswax to melt
In theory, it would have worked great. The wax would have been melting like a charm, I could have been filling several containers and my living room would have smelled like honey.
So what went wrong?
Well…. it's so hard to admit it, but it's so hilarious I cannot NOT share. The little pastilles or granules you can see in the picture above? I thought they where beeswax because they were in my candles drawer right next to the big bar of golden beeswax. I was a little bit suspicious because they looked so pale, but I thought maybe they added something to make it brighter – what do I know?
For this tutorial, I wanted to make sure to add all the info and looked at the package if there is something added to the beeswax. And then laughed quite frantically. The package said it was 100% cocoa butter…. Lightbulb moment.
So the pale stuff I filled in the first container is cocoa butter. If I add some sugar and cocoa powder I can dip my thread in chocolate – yay! I began to understand why the wick didn't burn well.
After my revelation, I tested the method with the same beeswax shavings used for the method described above. The candle wick did burn a little bit longer, but it never became strong enough to melt the whole content of the tin.
So much for my genius mind, right?
Comment below how your beeswax thread conditioner is working and how the making process went!

Robot Reprogramming
We have just finished working with a major automotive supplier on a project to reprogram some of their welding robots for additional tasks. This project was particularly difficult because it had to be carried out in the 2 week summer shutdown of the plant.
Metallising Booth
Once more for client Spray Chrome Solutions Ltd we are currently working on the development of a specialised metal spraying booth their AstraChrome spray "chroming" process. With a design specification that requires the booth to be able to be used both for the water based metallising process and for traditional spraying of paint systems using volatile organic solvents the project poses several major problems. When completed the fully automated spray booth will not only be able to mix these processes safely but also be fully modular for easy customisation and site erection.

This is because with affiliate marketing, you don't have to invest time and effort in order to create a product or service to sell.
Affiliate marketing wherein revenue is shared between affiliate companies is quite beneficial for both the web owner and the affiliate. All that you need to do is find a product that you like, promote it and then earn a piece of the profit you make in each sale. This marketing is definitely a win-win situation for you, the company you are working with and the customer. You earn a commission for the sale while the company have new sale from customers normally they are not able to reach.
Affiliate marketing is relatively easy once you already have a product you want to promote.

The 16th-ranked Missouri softball team will host the national's top-ranked team in Ratings Percentage Index with Georgia in town for a three-game Southeastern Conference series that begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday at University Field.
The Tigers (23-8, 2-4) are ranked 11th in RPI, but that figure likely will drop in next week's update after Wednesday's split with Illinois unless MU performs strong this weekend. The Tigers are seeking their first SEC series win of the season. The Bulldogs (29-3, 5-1) have won 15 of their last 16 games.
Here are three things to watch for during this weekend's series.
1. Can Missouri limit the whiff?
The Tigers will face arguably the SEC's best pitcher in the form of Georgia sophomore Chelsea Wilkinson. She's likely to be the Bulldogs' Game 1 and Game 3 starter. Wilkinson has a league-best 1.30 ERA and averages 10.04 strikeouts per seven innings.
Missouri's offense has been fairly inconsistent this season, but strikeouts haven't been the problem. The Tigers' offense is averaging a modest 3.62 strikeouts per seven innings.
2. Will the bottom of the lineup get going?
MU Coach Ehren Earleywine said Wednesday that his team's pitching isn't good enough for the Tigers to consistently win games 2-1. That's not surprising, considering MU goes with a pair of true freshmen in the pitcher's circle. They've performed reasonably well, but neither has been consistently dominant.
The hope going into the season was that the lineup would be more potent than last year, but that really hasn't been the case so far.
Don't blame the top of the lineup. The production of top four hitters Taylor Gadbois, Sami Fagan, Emily Crane and Angela Randazzo has been solid. From there, it drops off.
For the Tigers to be more than a middle-of-the-pack SEC team, it would seem Missouri needs more consistent production from its lineup.�
3. Does Earleywine do any major tinkering?
By this time of the year, the goal for most coaches is to be fairly set in their lineup. Yet, it wouldn't come as a surprise if Earleywine does a fair bit of shuffling throughout the weekend series.
Earleywine was about as disappointed Wednesday as a coach can be after a doubleheader split. That might lead to some changes.
Will Natalie Fleming get more time at third base, sending Angela Randazzo across the diamond to first or putting Randazzo in a more permanent designated player spot? Will Corrin Genovese get a longer look at second base, rather than serving as a utility extraordinaire? Will the playing time be split among the catchers or does one grab most of the innings, like Kirsten Mack was earlier this season? Does Earleywine try someone new at designated player outside of the standard options of Casey Stangel and Randazzo? It will be interesting to see.�

Volkswagen Motorsport chasing championship title at GTC season finale
The Sasol GTC Championship reaches the tail end of the season with Keagan Masters in the pound seat to claim the GTC2 championship at Zwartkops raceway on Saturday, 20th October. Both Mathew Hodges and Daniel Rowe would like to sign off the season with good results.. With the GTC2 Championship almost settled, Adrian Wood is relishing the opportunity to race his Kyocera Volkswagen Golf GTi to his maiden category win.
Masters has been the dominant force in the GTC2 championship, having powered his Golf GTi to ten victories and three runner-up positions during the long season which has earned Masters a 36-point lead going into the season finale. Looking at the young driver's record at Zwartkops following two visits to the Pretoria circuit this year, he has claimed three victories and a second place from four starts, marking him as the favourite to continue his rich form.
"I plan to stay out of trouble and finish the race - basically that's all I need to do. The team and my car have been perfect all year. I'm relaxed about the races. Of course I would like to win but I'm in the fortunate position where I don't have to chase victory at all costs."
Daniel Rowe powered his Volkswagen Jetta GTC to his maiden victory at Killarney in April and followed that up with two further wins. He is confident of adding a fourth win following a successful test ahead of the race weekend.
"I want to end the season on a high note. We had a very positive test where I found a tweak that really worked for me. I'm looking forward to exploring that avenue more during free practice; I have nothing to lose and would love to reward the team for all their work during the year. I won at Zwartkops so there is no reason why I cannot repeat that this time around."
Mathew Hodges, the winner of the final GTC round in 2016, has endured a dreadful season and is looking for a strong result to end his season on a strong note. "Above all else I want to enjoy the last race of the season. At times, the year has been frustrating for me. I have shown on several occasions that the car and I make a formidable combination but I have not had the luck I've needed to translate my form into results. I have one chance left to turn my season around and I'll be going for it".
Adrian Wood has scored five podiums from the last six races - four of them second place finishes - and he is aiming to go one better at the final round. "I have one more shot at a win now that the title is all but wrapped up; I want to win for myself, my team and Kyocera. The reality is that motorsport is a team sport and I have supported the team and their goals all year. I will give of my best and see what happens."
Volkswagen Motorsport will also wrap up the GTC2 Manufacturers title in 2018, thanks must go to the Team and all the privateers who have contributed to this success.
Volkswagen Motorsport's quartet of drivers takes to the track for official qualifying at 08h40. Fans are invited to join the team on the track at 12h00 for the grid walk ahead of the first 12-lap race at 12h10. The final race of the year starts at 15h35.
Volkswagen Motorsport acknowledges all of its sponsors and partners:

Status: Full Accreditation for the Master of Science Degree in Forensic Science
OSU was founded on Christmas Day, 1890, as the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College it's early days didn't consist of classrooms, books or curriculum. It wasn't until 1894 that classrooms were available, and it wasn't until 1896 that the school graduated its first class (group of 6 males). On July 1, 1957 the university finally became Oklahoma State University. Included in the 350+ undergraduate and graduate degrees and options is the Master of Science degree in Forensic Science.
Getting into this program can be quite rewarding, due to the intense and competitive application process. Students who wish to attend OSU need to have high test scores, as well as grades and GPA averages throughout his/her educational career. Only 70 students are admitted each year on average, and not all of those students are in the forensic science program. These numbers change year to year based on the applicants applying.

Much has been said about Deepika Padukone's role in the eponymous Padmavati and Ranveer Singh's debut negative role as Alauddin Khilji. But let's just take a moment here to talk about the most under-noticed character yet – Shahid Kapoor's Maharawal Ratan Singh, the ruler of Chittor.
Shahid's new avatar is one we've never seen before, and you might not know it yet but it's one that makes your lady weak in the knees. The light to Alauddin's chaotic darkness, Maharawal Ratan Singh is nothing short of a true, albeit late medieval, gentleman – something you would have noticed if you'd heard his voiceover in the background of the trailer, detailing the qualities of a true rajput. That, coupled with his regal bearing and ethnic style, makes Ratan Singh the groom she wants you to be. And if looking the part has got you worried, don't be. We chatted with the costume designers of Padmavati, Rimple and Harpreet Narula, as part of an exclusive interview where they discussed the 36-year-old's impeccable royal style.
Said the designers, "Shahid's look is very rich and ornate, befitting the character of the Rajput king that he is portraying. There is a lot of drama at play with the rich textiles, the traditional Rajasthani embroideries, the various layers to each look and the wide sweeping angrakhas that were created. To translate it into real life, you can go for one particular element from the look and build on it."
Paired with visual aides for your reference, we've summarised the costume designers' guide to ace the Maharawal Ratan Singh look for your wedding below:
You can pair your bling with some royal layers
Or play with classic prints
The heavy fabric and drapes may make you look like a king...
...but remember that details play an important role
A tastefully bejewelled turban never hurt a groom
Nor did a string of subtle emeralds and pearls
Be well prepared, gents, because dressing for your wedding is as tough as going to war
How to dress for a wedding according to your personality
How to wear black ethnic (with some help from Shahid Kapoor)

The General Jurisdiction Unit offers unpaid internships, with some for academic credit. Internship opportunities are available to law students throughout the calendar year and to some undergraduate students during the summer.
Interns assist the magistrates by conducting legal research, drafting memoranda of law, and assisting in the production of written findings of fact. Appeals heard by DALA often involve novel and complex issues of law, procedure, and evidence. Interns at DALA have the opportunity to prepare numerous writing samples and to observe litigation in progress, including evidentiary hearings and a wide variety of motion arguments.
If you are interested in more information about internship opportunities at DALA, please contact Chief Administrative Magistrate Edward B. McGrath by email at: email@example.com.
The Division of Administrative Law Appeals ("DALA") is an independent agency responsible for providing individuals and state agencies with fair and impartial administrative hearings as efficiently as possible. It has two independent units, its General Jurisdiction Unit and the Bureau of Special Education Appeals.
DALA's mission is to provide the due process hearings that are the pre-condition of other agencies' final agency actions and, when provided for by statute, to hear de novo appeals of other agencies' decisions. General Jurisdiction cases come to DALA in two ways: (1) by legislation mandating that certain types of cases be heard at DALA; and (2) upon request of an agency, subject to the approval of the DALA Chief Administrative Magistrate and the Secretary of Administration and Finance (A&F). Currently, DALA conducts hearings for approximately 20 state agencies, including the Contributory Retirement Appeal Board, the Board of Registration in Medicine, the Department of Public Health, and the Fair Labor Division of the Office of the Attorney General.

Tomahawks Have to Dominate, Not Be Dominated
The Janesville Jets and Springfield Jr. Blues are still in the NAHL, but will now play in the Midwest division. The Michigan Warriors were going to move to Brooklyn New York, but those plans, at least for the 2015-2016 season fell through. The Warriors left Flint because the city got a higher level junior hockey team, the Flint Firebirds of the OHL.
The closest team to Johnstown last season, the Keystone Ice Miners, folded. Smartly, the Tomahawks picked up a handful of their players for the upcoming season. The Soo Eagles moved to New Jersey to become the Jr. Titans, a team that will be in Johnstown's division this year.
The two new teams joining the East division are, the Wilkes Barre/Scanton Knights, who are an expansion team, and the Aston Rebels who relocated to Pa from Texas. Last season Aston was known by the name of the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees. Along with the move up north and into the NAHL East division, they brought a handful of their Killer Bees' roster.
So, this season the Tomahawks are in the league's smallest division, with only four teams. This means that for most of the season, Johnstown will be playing the same three teams over and over again. Before we get into that and what this article is all about, Johnstown will play four out of division teams at the NAHL Showcase. They will also travel to Alaska again this season to play both Alaskan teams. Later, those two teams will make the journey to Johnstown.
Now, playing the same three teams in the division will undoubtedly build huge rivalries. It'll be like playoff hockey, every night. For a fan that'll be fun to see. Though the downside for fans is that you'll be seeing so much of the same team, night in and night out things might get a little stale.
The bad thing with playing the same three teams over and over again is that if the Tomahawks struggle against a certain team (and god forbid two) it'll be a very long and painful season. In years past the Tomahawks had their troubles vs. the Port Huron Fighting Falcons. When Port Huron moved to Keystone last season, Keystone really had the upper hand on Johnstown. Johnstown finished the season 3-6-3 vs Keystone.
Last year, the North division had six teams, counting the Tomahawks. Though you don't want to struggle against anyone, having one team you can't beat out of five is better than one team you can't beat out of three.
This weekend the Tomahawks play two exhibition games against Aston. Not only will it be a good time to face a team in their division and see how they stack up again them, but it'll also give them a shot to inflict some early damage on the in-division foe.
In the regular season the Tomahawks will play Aston, New Jersey, and Wilkes-Barre each 16 times. This has to be the season Johnstown has the upper hand on at least two teams in the division or it's going to be a painful year.

involuntary muscle
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
involuntary muscle
Muscle that is not controlled by individual volition, including smooth muscle and cardiac muscle.
involuntary muscle
See smooth muscle.
involuntary muscleSmooth muscle, usually within an organ or blood vessel, that contracts under the influence of unconscious processes mediated by the AUTONOMIC nervous system rather than by the conscious will.
involuntary muscleor
visceral muscleor
smooth musclea type of muscle called 'involuntary' because it is innervated by the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. It is also called 'visceral' as it is found in the alimentary canal, the blood vessels, CILIARY BODY, respiratory passages and URINOGENITAL SYSTEM. It is also called 'smooth' since the MYOFIBRILS lack striations. Involuntary muscle contracts slowly and takes a long time to fatigue. Compare STRIATED MUSCLE.
performed independently of the will.
involuntary culling
see culling.
involuntary movement
includes convulsions and tremor and intermittent contractions of large muscle masses which result in movement of individual limbs or other parts of the body. See also stringhalt, chorea.
involuntary muscle
plain muscle, not under voluntary control.
involuntary nervous system
see autonomic nervous system.
an organ composed of bundles of fibers that has the power to contract and hence to produce movement. Muscles are responsible for locomotion and help support the body, generate heat and perform a number of other functions. They are of two varieties: striated (or striped, voluntary or skeletal), which makes up most of the meat of a carcass, and smooth (unstriated), which includes all the involuntary muscle of the viscera, heart and blood vessels.
Skeletal muscle fibers range in length from a few millimeters to many centimeters. They also vary in color from white to deep red. Each muscle fiber receives its own nerve impulses, which trigger fine and varied motions. At the signal of an impulse traveling down the nerve, the muscle fiber changes chemical energy into mechanical energy, and the result is muscle contraction. At least two major types of muscle fiber have been identified by histochemical techniques: type I (red) fibers, which have a slow contraction; and type II (white) fibers, which have a fast contraction.
Some muscles are attached to bones by tendons. Others are attached to other muscles, and to skin, producing, for example, the skin twitch, the eye blink and hair erection. Parts of the walls of hollow internal organs, such as the heart, stomach and intestines and also blood vessels, are composed of muscles. See also muscular. For a complete list of named muscles see Table 13.
agonistic muscle
prime mover; a muscle opposed in action by another muscle, called the antagonist.
antagonistic muscle
one that counteracts the action of another muscle (the agonist).
appendicular muscle
one of the muscles of a limb.
arrector pili muscle
small, smooth muscle attached to the bulb of the hair which causes erection of the hair and compression of the attending sebaceous gland when it contracts.
arterial muscle
part of the tunica media; smooth muscle fibers arranged in a circular pattern around the lumen.
articular muscle
one that has one end attached to the capsule of a joint.
axial muscle
1. muscles derived from the somites in the embryo.
2. the muscles around the vertebral column.
muscle biopsy
sample of living muscle obtained by excision or punch.
cardiac muscle
striated involuntary muscle with branched fibers and containing modified fibers which act as cardiac conducting cells.
congenital muscle defects
may be environmental, e.g. nutritional muscular dystrophy, or inherited, e.g. splayleg of piglets.
congenital type II muscle fiber hypertrophy
occurs in the hip joint musculature in German shepherd dogs but there is no detectable abnormality of gait.
cutaneous muscle
striated muscle that inserts into the skin.
double muscle
see myofiber hyperplasia.
esophageal muscle
the tunica muscularis of the esophagus in most domestic animals is mostly striated; in pigs, horses and cats there are small segments of smooth muscle; in birds the entire tunic is smooth muscle.
extraocular m's
the six or seven voluntary muscles that move the eyeball: dorsal, ventral, medial and lateral recti, dorsal and ventral oblique, and retractor bulbi muscles.
extrinsic muscle
one that originates in another part than that of its insertion, e.g. those originating outside the eye, which move the eyeball.
fast-twitch skeletal muscle
two of the three types of skeletal muscle are pale in color and fast-twitch—type IIa (fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic), type IIb (fast-twitch glycolytic). Type IIa fibers are fatigue-resistant, type IIb fatigue easily.
muscle fiber
see muscle (above).
fixation m's, fixator m's
accessory muscles that serve to steady a part.
hamstring m's
the biceps, semimembranosus and semitendinosus muscles. See also hamstring.
intraocular m's
the intrinsic muscles of the eyeball.
intrinsic muscle
one whose origin and insertion are both in the same part or organ, such as those entirely within the eye.
involuntary muscle
see smooth muscle (below).
iridial muscle
layers of circular (sphincter) and radial (dilator) muscles. See also iris.
jaw muscle
see Table 13.1H muscles of mastication.
laryngeal muscle
see Table 13.1E muscles of the larynx.
limb muscle
see Table 13.3, 13.4 muscles of the fore- and hindlimbs.
masseter muscle
the principal muscle of mastication. See also Table 13.1H.
mylohyoid muscle
see Table 13.1D muscles of the hyoid apparatus.
muscle neoplasms
of striated muscle—rhabdomyoma, rhabdomyosarcoma; of plain muscle—leiomyoma, leiomyosarcoma.
muscle nonstriated
see smooth muscle (below).
orbicular muscle
one that encircles a body opening, e.g. the eye or mouth.
muscle-paralyzing drugs
drugs which produce neuromuscular blockade, used as muscle relaxants during surgical procedures. Include d-tubocurarine, alcuronium chloride, pancuronium, vecuronium, atracurium besylate, succinylcholine.
red muscle
type 1 fibers predominate with slow contraction cycles and aerobic metabolism.
muscle rupture
the muscle may have torn away from its insertion, in which case the tendon will be slack, or it may be a complete or partial separation of the belly of the muscle, when the muscle will be swollen and hard. Structural and conformational changes may result, e.g. in rupture of the gastrocnemius muscle, and the hernias caused by rupture of the ventral abdominal muscles or the diaphragm.
skeletal m's
striated muscles that are attached to bones and typically cross at least one joint. Called also voluntary or striated muscles.
slow-twitch skeletal muscle
type 1 skeletal muscle fibers are bright red and contain large amounts of myoglobin; not easily fatigued.
smooth muscle
plain or involuntary muscle which powers the internal organs and is controlled by the autonomic nervous system; slow contracting cycles and fatigue resistant. Two types listed, visceral and vascular.
sphincter muscle
a ringlike muscle that closes a natural orifice; called also sphincter.
muscle spindle
sensory end-organ attached to the perimysial connective tissue of the muscle.
muscle strain
soreness and stiffness in a muscle due to overexertion or contusion, especially in muscles that have not been conditioned for hard use; some of the muscle fibers may actually tear.
striated muscle
see skeletal muscles (above).
synergic m's
those that assist one another in action.
temporal muscle
a significant muscle of mastication. See also Table 13.1H.
muscle-tendon junction
the union between connective tissue investing muscles and anchoring connective tissue.
type I muscle fiber
see slow-twitch skeletal muscle (above).
type II muscle fiber
see fast-twitch skeletal muscle (above).
type II muscle fiber deficiency
a relative deficiency of type II muscle fibers, with a predominance of type I fibers. An inherited defect in Labrador retrievers. Clinical signs include stunted growth, and muscle weakness and abnormal gait, which subside with rest, from an early age.
voluntary muscle
see skeletal muscle (above).
white muscle
consist of type II fibers; fast contraction fibers and aerobic metabolism are characteristic.
yoked m's
those that normally act simultaneously and equally, as in moving the eyes.
