La trial excursión de Gas Gas presenta nueva gráfica y sistema de arranque eléctrico
This is the bike for serious enthusiasts of both trial and mountain riding. The new Gas Gas Trial Contact 2019 presents new graphics and electric start. The high quality of its component parts are put together offering characteristic ease of use and riding comfort. Riders are going to have a great time on excursions and long off-road trips thanks to its comfortable seat and its large capacity 3.5 litre tank guaranteeing an even greater range with this new series.
- Ideal bike for enthusiasts of excursions and trial: The new GasGas Trial Contact with electric start is the ideal bike for enthusiasts of excursions and trial. The secret of enjoying a great day out in the mountains often lies in those stress-free moments, with a versatile bike capable of offering different functions. This is the best way to get the most out of your weekend excursions. Over time, wild spirits have a tendency to get mellower. Comfort becomes more important than full-on sporting aggression. And this is the philosophy behind the manufacture of the new GasGas Trial Contact. This model, with electric start, makes riding easy with its progressive, flexible 250/280 cc engine; a single cylinder two-stroke, liquid cooled, with a new chromed steel exhaust collector and a new DellOrto 26 carburetor and Hydria ignition system with a single map.
- Simplicity is the key to succes: The new Trial Contact counts with pre-adjusted front forks as standard and a rear shock absorber with pre-load and progressive link swing arm to smooth the way for riders aiming for just the right settings to get 100% out of their mountain rides. A new 3.5 litre tank has been fitted, with a larger capacity than the trial bikes, also a padded seat as standard, hiding a new battery underneath, are just some of the new features on this model showing great stability and traction thanks in part due to a slight increase in weight but also because of the new Mitas tyres. New components add to the great quality: New Braktec clutch and brake pistons, NG brake discs (front and back) and switchgear (including lights, starter, indicators and OBD). They are going to make the new Gas Gas Trial Contact Electric Start our very best friend to share great times together with when we are out and about.

Bush Maintains Support In Latest Approval Poll
Public Favors President's Assertiveness, But Is Still Split on Several Key Issues
WASHINGTON -- President Bush enjoys a strong tail wind of public opinion as he begins the second half of his term with the twin challenges of reviving the economy and confronting Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows that Americans favor aggressive action on both fronts. A 48% plurality says strengthening the economy should be the top priority for the president and Congress, underscoring the pressure that led Mr. Bush to replace the two leading players on his economic team in recent days....

PNB ROCK x MONTREALITY ⌁ Interview
His eyes glistening from behind his rose-tinted lens, PnB Rock, casually sitting back in his red tracksuit and gold "New Lane" chain dangling from his neck, carries an allure that's hard to ignore. He's one of those artists that's been through enough in his own life to properly commentate on the culture, the type of artist that is harder and harder to come by.
"Three years ago, I was homeless, I ain't had shit, I was fucked up, nothing to my name. I came home and I just had some songs and shit in my notepad. I just switched up the people I was hanging with, switched up my surroundings and shit. I turned up on my shit. I stopped focusing on other shit… You just gotta focus on you and lock in on what you wanna do."
That's exactly what PnB has done. Fresh off the release of his newest album Catch These Vibes he's making major waves throughout the scene. Undoubtedly there's no time to rest as his next greatest idea is just around the corner and the work ethic is what keeps him on his toes.
"I think me and Travis Scott would do some crazy shit. That shit would be some crazy melodic… heavy effects, just a different vibe I already know." Who knows what's in store next for the Philly artist but whatever it is, it's bound to be eccentric and innovative.

Once upon a time, Canadian retirees used their nest egg to fund particular expenses such as a new car, home renovation or a special trip. Some people will still be able to make irregular withdrawals like that, but it is more likely that today's (and future) retirees will be relying on their own investments for a good part of their retirement cash flow needs.
The challenge now is figuring out how much is a safe withdrawal rate that will last you for life. A high withdrawal rate early on can quickly deplete your savings, especially if the stock market goes down and stays down for several years.
What is a safe withdrawal rate?
A commonly accepted rule of thumb is the "4% withdrawal rule" which has been used for a while as a convenient way to draw down assets. It was developed in the 1994 by William Bengen and based on long-term capital market assumptions for a model portfolio of 50% stocks and 50% bonds. The reasoning is that if you retire at 65, the 4 percent rule should provide 30 – 35 years of income and continues to be a benchmark.
There are two different ways to make the calculations:
- Constant Dollar, inflation adjusted (the original): Determine 4% of your retirement savings balance (that is, in your first year of retirement) and withdraw that amount. The next year, draw the same amount but include inflation. e.g. If you have $500,000 saved you would withdraw $20,000 the first year. The second year you would take out $20,400 (assuming 2% inflation), the third year, $20,808, and so on.
The drawback here is the built in assumptions may no longer apply. Bond yields have been low. A steep market decline could deplete your savings too early. People tend to make terrible investment decisions and not even get market returns. You may not enjoy the growth you need to fund 30+ years of spending.
- Constant Percentage: With the second method you withdraw 4% of your portfolio balance annually.
The disadvantage is the uncertainty about how much income you will have each year as it depends on your portfolio balance.
Early retirement
While the 4% safe withdrawal rate can be a good starting point, no simple financial rule can take into account all the variances and complexities of real life. If you retire early, especially before you are eligible to collect pension benefits, you need to be much more conservative in your withdrawal levels.
Consider Cindy (53) and Martin (58). Martin was recently let go from his sales job and has had difficulty finding comparable work. Discouraged, he decided he might as well take early retirement and will begin to collect reduced CPP at age 60. Cindy works part time in a small boutique and will continue working until age 65, then collect her CPP. They want to have $6,000 of income a month.
You can see from this diagram that, with not much income coming from other sources, the majority has to come from their savings (in blue). They will burn through their savings by two-thirds or more within the first ten years if they are not willing to scale back.
Spending in retirement
Statistics Canada studies have shown that the average 65 year old spends about 25% more than the average 80 year old. In fact, the average retiree can expect three phases of retirement and it's logical to assume that spending patterns will also change:
- Early years – a period of travel, hobbies and adventure and spending more freely
- Middle years – some activities, more socializing and relaxation
- Later years – a time of winding down, discretionary expenses fall significantly, may be restricted to spending most days at home.
Final thoughts
Selecting a long-term strategy for withdrawing retirement assets can be a daunting task. It is unreasonable to believe that your initial strategy will still fit circumstances in later years.
You need to have a plan that fits you and your specific lifestyle needs to ensure your retirement years will be everything you want them to be. Careful planning will safeguard your future.
Related: A financial assessment for your retirement
Because the future is based on assumptions (and your life may not turn out to be "average"), you should monitor the performance of your portfolio closely and think about what you will have to do if your investments lag behind your expectations. No one knows where interest rates, house prices, stock market returns or inflation are headed.
Be flexible and reassess your plan at least annually, or as circumstances change, to ensure your savings are not dwindling beyond a reasonable amount too quickly.

I'm a sucker for Marc Jacobs and his Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear collection only intensified my love for his playful and vibrant style. Although there are pieces that are just plain weird (as any collection has), MJ never ceases to put on a good show with his simple yet brilliantly colored designs. I think the bathing suits were my favorite part of this collection. The subtle ruffles paired with bright stripes are reminiscent of the 1950s and make me want to grab a towel and oversized shades and head right down to the beach.
Small, bright clutches are the perfect accessory for these beautifully tailored a-line skirts and cocktail dresses–very feminine and youthful. As for the guys? I love how MJ is not afraid to add some pop to these designs, like a loud floral shirt under a classic trench and trousers.
How did you like this runway show? See the entire collection at www.style.com.

It's hard to believe June is just around the corner, and soon we'll be working through Q3/Q4 on our way to the holidays and a new year.

Our Events
What's the difference between a camp and a summit? Camps are smaller, curated get-togethers, and summits are larger events that blend a traditional conference format with facilitated conversations and breakouts. Learn more about our events and why you should attend.
Operations Camp Utah: June 10–13
Registration closes this Friday, May 25th, so don't wait any longer.

Creative Director Camp New Orleans: December 2–4
Creative directors wear many hats including designer, visionary, mentor, mediator and salesperson. Some of these roles might come as second nature to you.

Operations Camp New Orleans: December 5–7
Operations is the "how" that gets you from sales to profit. With so many moving pieces: pipelines, resources, ResearchOps, DesignOps, DevOps…there's a lot to think about and work out.

Owner Summit 2019: February 10–12, Austin, TX
In 2015, more than 100 digital owners came together in Austin to share insights, talk about challenges and discuss where the industry was and could be.

Would you recommend this product?No reviews yet
@albrittongreg this looks really beautiful! Would love to hear some of the challenges you came across while making this :)
@bentossell one of the first challenges we faced was getting our hands on the Apple Pencil :) Once we had our hands on that, we could test a number of input methods including finger, stylus, and Apple Pencil specifically. The management and formatting of content was also a big challenge. We have over 200 pieces of artwork and it took a lot of work to sort out which art would work with a book, etc. There are a lot of moving pieces in this process and Eugene did an awesome job arranging all of these pieces into cohesive books.
@albrittongreg Awesome :) So what are the different levels of inputs and how easy they are to use/quality comparison? Assuming the average joe/jane using their finger, how much difference is there vs the pencil - obviously there is one but is it worth shelling out to buy that bloody pencil?
@bentossell any iOS device will provide a nice, relaxing experience purely with the ability to move your finger back and forth to color. There are some great benefits to using a 3D Touch enabled device, particularly for shading. Using a stylus, especially with the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil, is the closest thing you can experience to coloring a page out of a tangible book. You get the pressure sensitivity, the feel of a pencil, and a big canvas to spin and zoom - these things really elevate the experience in a big way...not too mention you can take over 200 designs wherever you are without and need for another book :)
It's amazing, I love it :)
Beautiful app. Nicely done!
Would it be weird to suddenly need Pencil so I can upgrade my experience of Pigment? Oh, I'll need a new iDevice too. (Please do not tell my accountant about Product Hunt. TY.)

911 flag donated to OCM BOCES honors victims of attack

School Safety Update OCM BOCES is implementing several initiatives this year that address both our immediate response to potential threats and sustained efforts to promote the physical and mental well-being of all students and staff. All of these initiatives fall in line with the findings of the Onondaga County School Safety Task Force , which released its final report in August. Many of our 23 component districts are also implementing the initiatives listed below. "Of course, no one can guarantee that nothing bad will happen," District Superintendent Jody Manning says. "But we can guarantee that we will do everything possible and reasonable to provide a safe and conducive learning and teaching environment for our students and staff." Here ...
Best Wishes Cindy Foran!
Congratulations and best wishes to adult education cosmetology instructor, Cindy Foran, who is retiring after 15 years with OCM BOCES! Cindy is looking forward to her retirement and says, "I feel like I have done a lot of planting, have been fortunate to have seen a lot of growth and now I am ready to harvest and enjoy the fruit of what I've done for many years." Cindy, who has always had a passion for doing hair, got into the field of cosmetology 30 years ago. In the years since, she has worked for others, has owned her own salon and spa and has taught cosmetol0gy to others. Cindy began teaching in 1983 because she loved hair and wanted to share that passion with others. She says that has been her favorite part. "Each group [of students] comes in with a passion ...
Meet our New Director of Educational Technology
In the fast-paced world of instructional technology, Katie Regan has been the go-to person for teachers who want to use the best tools possible to engage students and enhance learning.

Regan primarily worked with 22 schools in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse as a technology integration specialist for the Central New York Regional Information Center (CNYRIC), which falls under the direction of the Onondaga-Cortland-Madison Board of Cooperative Educational Services (OCM BOCES). ...
Seal of Biliteracy Gains Ground in Central New York
On the morning of September 20, 2017, Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico, devastating the island and plunging all of its 3.4 million residents into a desperate humanitarian crisis. In Central New York, a Puerto Rican teen-ager was also struggling. Ian Torres and his family had left their country shortly before the hurricane hit. Ian was having a hard time at Liverpool High School, struggling with the English language and feeling anxious to drop out. He wanted to go back home, to help his extended family and friends. "I felt like I had abandoned them," he said. An English teacher, Patrick Gilchriest, stepped in and encouraged Ian to practice his English so he could master the language, express himself and gain confidence among his peers. He pushed ...

Ugly Home [Paris]
The moment you step into Ugly Home online, you begin watching what appears to be somone busily using an etch-a-sketch to create a storefront.
Intriqued, you wait to see what's next, and clicking on Entrer, you step inside a quaint little home boutique filled with lots of good things. Plates with blooms, plates with shoes (adds new meaning to soul food), candles, lamps (great egg pendant), wallpaper, furniture, textiles, wall decals (love the lab and the chandelier!), and more. At Ugly Home, everything ugly is pretty again!
When in Paris, visit them at 108 Rue Saint-Honor?. When online, visit their website.

Miguel - "Do You..."

Here's a song from his latest album Kaleidoscope Dream that I really enjoyed. Fun fact: the girl in the video is his girlfriend and model Nazanin Mandi. By the looks of this video, they're into being hot and steamy on camera. Woooh!

Rav and I caught a movie at the new Backlot Rooftop Drive In tonight. Admittedly, it wasn't the weather for a drive in night but the rain stopped before the film started and we had a car full of Christmas chocolates and dinosaur toys so we didn't mind either way.
Each night two films will be screening to a limited crowd with tickets available online. It's all happening on the top of the Harbourtown car park so enter through the car park as normal and drive to the top. You are directed into position and given the number for the radio station that will be broadcasting the audio.
You can choose to have the car facing the screen or away from the screen if you want to sit in the back to watch. The movies all start after dark so it's a late night for kids by the time you see the film and all the cars are directed out. Red Dog and Monster Trucks are the two choices for family films with more choices if you are out on the town kid free.
Prices vary from $25-$60 per car depending on the day.
Snacks are available (EFTPOS only) or there are plenty of restaurants in Harbour Town with take away options and temporary toilet facilities have been set up.

In Maths, we have been learning to read, write (numeral and words), draw and represent our numbers from 0 to 10. We are using a range of equipment including; unifix, numicon and tens frames.
In these photos the children are working with their partner to represent the numbers 5 and 7 on a tens frame. We discussed how we knew we had made seven, relating to number bonds and the fact that there will always be 3 spaces left.

text: I don't know about you guys, but it is REALLY hard for me to wear rompers. Most of them look odd on me, and it's rare I find ones to flatter my body shape but I love them because they are super comfortable and really easy to dress up or down. I went to Charming Charlie just to browse and do some window shopping, but I wound up caving and buying a few things because they had an amazing sale! All the sale items were an ADDITIONAL 40% off. When I see a sale, I instantly get excited, overwhelmed and anxious all at the same time. It is because part of me wants to buy it all, while the other part knows that I clearly cannot. LOL I bought this item and one more so I will share the other tomorrow! I also purchased a few new pieces from TJ Max that I can't wait to share as well. I really was contemplating not posting this, because the photos did not come out as planned and I am still trying to find an editing technique that I like. I'm thinking of taking a photography course so if you know of any offered online or some good YouTube videos to watch, please let me know! It would be greatly appreciated. If you like this romper, go grab it now while its only $16!

City Color Be Matte Blush in Dragonfruit was in my Opsy Glam bag in February.
Ok, at first I thought this color was CRAZY!!! I mean look at how freaking PINK it is.
I took flash and non flash pictures for this review since the color is soooo intense. On the Left is FLASH. On the Right is NO FLASH. Dig?
As you can see, it's very bright pink.
But, LOOK how deceiving it is under different lighting! This is the same exact shot and the same exact amount of product swatched on my hand. And look how much more intense it looks with the flash. Without, you can almost barely see it, no?
Same here….oh man…here is my face on the interwebs!
Either way, I think the color is pretty and flattering and you shoulnd't be afraid to try it.
Did you try it? Did you like it or hate it?

They are the scourge of walkers everywhere: the lazy pet owners who refuse to clean up after their dogs.
Sometimes, the culprits are caught. But more often than not, they strike when nobody else is looking and make a clean getaway.
But the era of not picking up after your pooch may be coming to an end.
In apartment buildings and neighborhoods across the country, pet owners are being asked to register their dogs in a DNA testing program that allows homeowners associations and building managers to link dogs to their droppings.
BioPet Vet Lab, based in Knoxville, Tenn., says its "PooPrints" testing kits are being used in 1,000 buildings, neighborhoods and dog parks in the country.
[Rare canine flu outbreak hits Chicago, leaving five dogs dead, sickening more than 1,000 others]
Among the most popular locations for doggie DNA testing, according to PooPrints Business Development Director Eric Mayer, are large metro areas with lots of urban dwellers, such as Chicago, Seattle, Miami, Los Angeles, Denver and Dallas.
"We found that it's a ubiquitous problem in property management," Mayer told The Post. "If you talk to property managers, they will tell you their biggest complains come from the 'two P's' — parking and poop."
"Dog waste is also a health hazard," he added. "It's more than just a nuisance. It can get into soil and local drinking water systems through storm drains."
In Seattle, for example, a study found that an estimated 125,000 dogs "dump 41,250 pounds of poop onto yards, sidewalks [and] parks" each day, according to the Seattle Times. Aside from being unsightly, the study found, dog waste is a principal source of contamination in local waterways.
[Decades of human waste have made Mount Everest a 'fecal time bomb']
The registration process begins when a new dog-owning tenant moves into a building, Mayer said. That's when an inner-cheek swab is administered on the tenant's pet to collect a unique DNA signature. The dog receives a registration number, and its information is added to the DNA World Pet Registry. When errant poo is spotted, property managers are asked to send a stool sample to a lab, where scientists attempt to match it to the offender.
The matching process takes 10 to 14 days, Mayer said. Some buildings directly fine the residents who own the dogs, and others add each offense to the tenant's rent. The fines, Mayer said, can reach more than $100.
The company claims its statistics show that first-time offenders rarely re-offend.
[With fake service dogs on the rise, Canada proposes doggie 'driving license']
When PooPrints started five years ago, Mayer said, it was met with mixed reviews, with some people complaining that the service was intrusive. But several years later, Mayer said, most people have come around to the idea.
"We had one person who thought we would clone their dog, which is nearly impossible to do," Mayer told The Post. "Some people thought it was an invasion of their dog's privacy. We love our dogs, but they're pets and not people."
The DNA technology used by PooPrints is the same as the kind popularized by television shows such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," professor Michael Court told the Seattle Times.
"It's like a crime scene for poop," said Court, who specializes is pharmacogenomics at the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine. "When you already have DNA from a dog, you've created a reference bank library."
DNA technology and steep fines, Mayer said, compel most pet owners to shape up — but not all of them.
"In South Carolina, we ended up finding 18 poop samples in a row that belonged to the same person," he said. "Right now, that person holds the record."

Not every man shares the same tastes in women and physical attraction is important to the overall experience of meeting with an escort. At our Manchester escort agency, we appreciate the variety of different tastes that men have. With this in mind, we have made it simple to choose an escort that suits your tastes.
Hair colour
One aspect of a person's appearance that can affect attraction levels is hair colour. Although some people have no particular preference, for others it is an important element of what turns them on. If you fall into the latter category, you will find that you have plenty of choice at our Manchester escort agency. Our escorts come in all shades so that you can choose an escort that perfectly fits your requirements. Blonde escorts, brunettes, redheads and every colour in between; they're all waiting for your call.
Body shape
Escorts in Manchester come in all shapes and sizes too, so you are sure to find someone that turns you on. Regardless of whether you desire women with curves or prefer your women small and petite, we have an escort to suit your preferences. All of our Manchester escorts are stunning, but their varied body shapes mean that we can cater to a variety of needs.
Other factors
There may be other factors that influence your desire to have sex with escorts. Just some of these include ethnicity, height, breast size, tattoos, piercings and facial features. Our escorts in Manchester offer variety in each of these categories. Even if you have quirky preferences, one of our escorts will fit the bill.
Sexual skills
Our Manchester escort agency offers escorts that have a variety of different skills or specialist areas. If the type of sex is more important to you than the specific physical attributes of your escort, then we can try to match you with an escort that is particularly skilled in certain types of sex or enjoys delivering specific services. Therefore, if you want to try out your fantasies, we can find the most skilled escort for your needs.
How to choose an escort
There are two simple ways to choose an escort from our Manchester escort agency. The first is to browse our photo gallery to find an escort based on your personal physical preferences. The second is to get in touch and discuss your personal requirements. We will then do our best to find the perfect escort for you. Plus, if you have used our services previously and have enjoyed your time with one particular escort, we will make every effort to arrange for you to see her again.
Finding your dream escort is simple when you use our Manchester escort agency. Either by using our website or contacting us personally, we will make every effort to find you a date that arouses you and shows you a good time.

"I am Bennelong"
Bangarra Dance Theatre
Playhouse, Arts Centre, Melbourne
Thursday 7th September, 2017
Choreography: Stephen Page
Music: Steve Francis
Dramaturg: Alana Valentine

Rehearsal Director: Anton
Cultural Consultant: Matthew Doyle
The Spirit of Bennelong, my response drawn up especially for Fjord Review.
I lie low. I nestle in the soil. Are you a fighter? A collaborator? A victim? A survivor? An idealist? A realist? Some days I feel like I am Bennelong. I am Bennelong.
At first impression, Stephen Page's new work Bennelong is about the history and legacy of Woollarawarre Bennelong (c. 1764–1813), the man who carries five names (also Baneelon, Wogultrowey, Wolarrabarrey, Boinba, Bundebunda). Before a large suspended ring, evocative of a smoking ceremony (sensitively, economically designed by Jacob Nash), 'The Birth of Bennelong' is told. The womens' circle, all loose with its collective weight directed towards the floor, the mens', by comparison, pointed, angular, and elevated. To know the story: read the bodies. Every surface, a canvas, a means of unbroken communication. With native plants in hand, burning to ward off bad spirits, the hardest terrain is life giving.
A Wangul man of the Eora Nation people, Bennelong lived during the European settlement/invasion in 1788. He was captured and shackled in 1789, along with a Cadigal man, Colebee, on Governor Arthur Phillip's orders by Lieutenant William Bradley at Manly Cove. Lieutenant Bradly wrote of the mens' abduction as being "by far the most unpleasant service I was ever ordered to Execute…. [The] crying & screaming of the women and children together with the situation of the two miserable wretches in our possession was really a most distressing scene; they were much terrified".[i] Two randomly selected go-betweens to assist with the assimilation process, Colebee escaped, while Bennelong remained in the colony. In frock coats from the New World, Bennelong would later accompany Governor Phillip to London (1792–95), with Wangul man, Yemmerawanye, and four "lively and healthy" kangaroos [Lloyd's Evening Post, 1793].
Bennelong's life was documented in the journal entries and letters of the British officers placed in charge of the new colony, including Governor Phillip, Marine Lieutenant Watkin Tench, Lieutenant William Bradley, and others. With inquisitive eyes meeting the viewer, tooth and bone ornaments in his hair, annotated in a ribbon of brown ink, "Native name Ben-nel-long, as painted when angry after Botany Bay Colebee was wounded"[ii], his portrait was drawn by First Fleet artists. And since then his story has been interpreted and reinterpreted by historians and novelists alike. In his honour, his name even became a place, Bennelong Point, where the Sydney Opera House now fans its wings. Businesses and institutions bear his name, a restaurant too.
At its core, Page's new work Bennelong is actually about the man Woollarawarre Bennelong. Man, not the myth, nor saint neither. As cultural consultant to Bennelong, Matthew Doyle describes, Bennelong, the man, was someone who "took on that role or responsibility of being the intermediary between his people and Governor Phillip"[iii], a man who was in every sense caught between two cultures and who, in the end, belonged to neither one nor the other. And it is confronting and heat-breaking in equal measure.
Bennelong as resistor, as assimilator, as victim, Bennelong, then, is very much Bennelong now. And this is what drives Bennelong, Page's twenty-fourth work with Bangarra, for though it is historical, it is very much present day; and though it covers a historical figure, he was very much of flesh and bone. Bennelong asks, 'who are today's Bennelongs?' negotiating the space between two cultures, two worlds. For artistic director and choreographer Page, "we are still trying to work out this relationship…. Bennelong is very much with us." [iv] The first major work since the death of Bangarra's musical director, David Page, the spirits of both Bennelong, and David Page guides it. Then and now, interwoven, for all time.
Some days I feel like I am Bennelong. I am Bennelong.
For Beau Dean Riley Smith, in the title role, he is "trying to pay homage to [Bennelong's] spirit and ignite that flame and his soul and give him heart."[v] And after the community night, at the Melbourne opening night performance of Bennelong that is exactly what he did, proving the embodiment of the message: respect; have respect for one another.[vi] The historical narrative is but a thread within this work, this is primarily about how it feels. Smith's Bennelong is a torn and tragic figure, as he spins and is hurled about the stage, with each rotation unspooling his placement in either world: 'where do I belong?' Together with dramaturg Alana Valentine, and music by Steve Francis, Bennelong is a voice for "a race" historical accounts have deemed "totally incapable of civilization" [Lloyd's Evening Post, 1793].
A powerful work in the truest sense, through Bennelong's eyes we explore his personal ties and fractured relationships with his community (in 'Spirit of Barangaroo' and 'Wives'), and attempts at assimilation in 'Responding' and 'Crown' with the magnificently cloaked figure head of all things proper society, Deborah Brown, as Haydn's Symphony no. 94 second movement adds extra twists and turns. With her face painted white, and her pronounced cheekbones, the stately Brown calls to mind the royal profiles resting upon coins. As she leaves, upon her cloak, the body of the deceased Yemmerawanye trails behind her and the wittiness of the Symphony is made macabre. Widening the lens to take in the whole frame and its ramifications, notions of sovereignty, human rights, and the repatriation of ancestral bones and spirits and sacred objects from museum collections overseas.
The triumph of Bennelong is in how it uses the medium of dance to deliver its multi-layered message. Where words or a still image might have fallen flat, the moving body, ever whirling, writhing, leaping conveys with clarity and depth. Transient, timeless, and evocative. 'Observation Smell' (first contact between cultures, a sniffing, prowling, Smith and Daniel Riley), 'Rewind 1788' (Elma Kris imbues the spirit of the land), and the smallpox of 'Onslaught' are a shot to both my head and heart. As Yemmerawanye's body is returned in the folds of a tarp, his spirit at last returned to country, a shameful catalogue of 19th century souvenirs and cranial experiments is recounted. 'Repatriation', a reminder that some 1,000 Aboriginal remains are still held in collections. The heavy-handedness of my words here illustrating that the body, in this case, is the best storyteller.
In a brick hut some twelve feet square, built on Bennelong Point, exiled by both his own people and the colonists, Smith's Bennelong mourns his spirit and is thus entombed. Bennelong's cold obituary declared him "a thorough savage …. with a propensity for drunkenness" [Sydney Gazette, 1813]. In an outstanding longed-for solo, '1813 / People of the Land', Smith wrings the last tear from my eye. The familiar image "Native name Ben-nel-long" projected in a circle loops me back to the opening 'Birth of Bennelong'. An eternal circle, an eternal struggle. Bennelong is an ancestral songline made visible, binding past with present. Little short of essential viewing for one and all.

Most financial risk models assume the future will look like the past, but effective risk management depends on identifying fundamental changes in the marketplace as they occur. Bayesian Risk Management details a more flexible approach to risk management, and provides tools to measure financial risk in a dynamic market environment. This book opens discussion about uncertainty in model parameters, model specifications, and model-driven forecasts in a way that standard statistical risk measurement does not. And unlike current machine learning-based methods, the framework presented here allows you to measure risk in a fully-Bayesian setting without losing the structure afforded by parametric risk and asset-pricing models.
Ignoring uncertainty in risk modeling creates an illusion of mastery and fosters erroneous decision-making. Firms who ignore the many dimensions of model risk measure too little risk, and end up taking on too much. Bayesian Risk Management provides a roadmap to better risk management through more circumspect measurement, with comprehensive treatment of model uncertainty.

Long before Russell Means (in his own words) became a "full-time Indian," the famed Native American activist and Hollywood actor was just a young kid growing up in Vallejo.
A onetime leader of the American Indian Movement (AIM) and considered a modern warrior fighting for the oppressed, Means died Monday on his ranch in Porcupine, South Dakota from throat cancer at age 72
While in Vallejo, Means attended Franklin Middle School, roamed the streets with his friends, and shined shoes on lower Georgia Street.
Born on Nov. 10, 1939, on the Pine Ridge Reservation, Means and his family moved to Vallejo three years later after his father landed a job at Mare Island Naval Shipyard. During summers, he would return to South Dakota to visit relatives.
As the nation considered Means" accomplishments Monday, some in Vallejo paused to reflect on his connection to their city.
"He was a very intelligent kid. He was very smart," recalled Vallejo Native American activist Norman DeOcampo (also known as Wounded Knee) who knew the young Means when he attended local schools.
Former classmates recalled Means as a shy, sweet cute Indian boy who was always smiling, according to a 1995 Times-Herald article. In fact, the young kid and the famous, handsome actor and activist seemed like two people, they said.
"I once knew a Russell Means. I had no idea he was the same guy," said Ed Cruz, a former classmate for the 1995 article.
Means made a celebrated return to Vallejo in early 1996 following publication of his book "Where White Men Fear to Tread." He spoke and signed books at the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum and toured the city.
He recalled Vallejo as a peaceful, rural place where he and other kids felt safe enough to roam around and play outside. As he got older, he also recalled coed garage parties where he got his first kiss.
Means" life changed dramatically when his family moved to San Leandro in 1954. There he began to ditch school, drink and do drugs and commit petty crimes. He also grew increasingly angry at White America.
After attending college for a few years, he moved to Cleveland and helped establish an Indian Center. Then, in 1969 he stumbled onto the early beginnings of AIM, and soon threw himself into demonstrations at Mount Rushmore, and Plymouth Rock and other activities.
In AIM, he sought to restore Indians" pride in their culture and challenged a government that had paid little attention to tribes in generations. He was also one of the first to urge sports teams to do away with Indian names and mascots, and fought tirelessly for the government to honor long-ago broken treaties.
Of his life, DeOcampo said he considered Means an icon in the same league as Martin Luther King Jr., Sitting Bull and Geronimo in his fight for oppressed people.
Long after Means moved from Vallejo, DeOcampo met him in the 1978"s Longest Walk in which a large number of Native Americans gathered at the nation"s capital after walking across the United States.
"It was great to walk with him. I learned a lot from Russell Means," DeOcampo said, including the advice, "No matter what the odds are always fight for what you believe in."
Means never got involved with the recent effort of local Native Americans to save a sacred burial ground from becoming a park in Glen Cove, but DeOcampo said the activist supported saving such places and was with the effort in spirit.
Means" life was, by no means, without controversy which included an alleged 1975 slaying of a woman on the Pine Ridge reservation, and the 1974 Wounded Knee uprising which led to the death of two tribal members and the wounding of an FBI agent.
Means also appeared in the 1994 film "Natural Born Killers," voiced Chief Powhatan in the 1995 animated film "Pocahontas" and guest starred in 2004 on the HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm.
He ran unsuccessfully for the Libertarian nomination for president in 1988 and briefly served as a vice presidential candidate in 1984 on the ticket of Hustler publisher Larry Flynt.
Vallejo Inter-Tribal Council member Midge Wagner said she was honored to meet Means when he visited Vallejo on his 1996 book tour. She believes he may have returned one more time after that but is not sure when.
"I admire him. He was one of my heroes. He was one of the people who keep us all going because of all his activity. He was very active in helping the Indian people. He did some good work," Wagner said.

Why do we use reverse foot in human rigs? i've seen a lot of videos with normal foot rig. I am not able to understand the advantage of reverse foot over the normal one? I 've started learning human rig and this REVERSE FOOT VS NORMAL FOOT thing is kinda freaking me out. Please Ctrl+S me! IM DYINGG!!!
Why Reverse Foot in the first place?
oglu #2
its easier to animate.
myara #3
In a reverse foot, you rotate for example, from the toes or the front part of the feet so the character can raise his heel without moving the rest of the body with just one action. You can only achieve this with a reverse foot rig.
