Transparency Market Research includes new market research report "Petroleum Coke Market" to its huge collection of research reports.
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/15/2014 -- Increasing demand for refined petroleum products and the high price difference between heavy and light crude oil are leading to an increase in demand for heavy crude. Availability of crude as well as the increase in production rates is driving the petroleum coke market.
Browse Full Report with TOC: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/petroleum-coke-market.html
Petroleum coke is taking over markets like cement and power industry and has also started giving strong competition to coal. Petroleum coke is an excellent and inexpensive product to blend with coal in traditional coal fired boilers. Associated production cost is minimal as it is a by-product of the refining process and its price is determined by competitive steam coal prices.

Hi Guys,
Happy Weekend! Just a quick post today as I have a busy weekend, and am currently already late! Today's look is a new favourite of mine, as it is quite classic and timeless, but with a pop of colour.
Jacket- Select, Shirt-Vintage, Wetlook Legging-Boohoo
Bag- Marisota, Shoes- Primark, Necklace-Newlook
Sunglasses-ASOS, Nails- Essie Butler Please
My white cropped jacket, is a spring/ summer wardrobe staple, especially as we move towards the warmer months (we hope) it's look and feel is very chic and that's way I decided to team it with another classic piece, a denim shirt. I love the stark blue against the pale denim, I feel like I should be walking down the Seine in Paris today, but hey you can't have it all.
To finish off the look I brought in some colour, with my bright orange shopper, I just can't help myself when I see the sun is shining!
Well, I hope you have fun weekends planned? I am heading down to Birmingham this afternoon to head out for a big birthday bash with one of my best friends so I am super excited about that, and no don't we will get ourselves in mischief! But I still need to pick my outfit and tan, do my hair etc, so really need to run.
Hope you like my look and you enjoy the sun!
Happy Saturday!

Feel confident without overspending
Celebrate your confidence By Mercedes Sanchez
Did you know that 71% of women wish they were more confident?
Marshalls surveyed more than 1,000 women nationwide, and 75% have said no to an activity or opportunity based on a lack of confidence.
I have to admit, I can relate to the latter. I've declined an invitation or skipped out on an event once or twice when I didn't feel my best.
When do you feel most confident?
I feel most confident when I'm prepared, and when I have a strong fashion piece. There's truth behind the phrase, "when you look good, you feel good." Do you agree?
Fashion Blogger Mercedes Sanchez
This week I was nervous about getting in front of students to talk about social media.
Before going to speak at Syracuse University, I stopped by Marshalls to find a professional yet chic dress for my presentation.
I bought this dress for less than $150. I loved the fit and the price. Marshalls carries high quality, on-trend brand name and designer fashions.

Google has been brewing an entirely different Google Maps app. Previously available on an invite-only basis, the new Google Maps is now available for everyone. Read more to try it out.
Good news to avid Google Maps users out there. Today, Google is making the new version of Google Maps available for all.
The new application previously came out on an invite-only basis. First unveiled at the Google I/O 2013 developers conference, the new Google Maps sports a new interface and includes the cards aesthetic of Google Now.
Google has also improved the search box, making it smarter and apt to find places and directions. For example, typing "sushi" will display search results directly on the map so that users can locate restuarants that offer the delicacy.
There's also info cards that diplays useful information about places such as reviews and ratings and a new "zoom out" feature that allows users to zoom out into space. If you're curious, you can try the new Google Maps here.

Imagination Makes Toys Fun
Leaving youngsters with a babysitter is commonly a painful situation for a lot of mother and father. They will be frightened about staying away from their little ones, particularly, if they're leaving their kids with the babysitter for the primary time. But when babysitters are well instructed earlier than taking charge, you can relaxation extra peacefully as things are expected to go easily. Unlike other caretakers, babysitters are sometimes younger, energetic and can be taught issues fairly easily. It is your responsibility to teach them what to do and what not to do while babysitting your children. The higher the steerage you provide, the higher your likelihood is for success.
It is pretty clear from the reactions of the youngsters in the two completely different conditions that one youngster has had ongoing empathy training from start, while the opposite child has not had the same coaching. Lack of training about empathy can result in callous, self-centered and narcissistic adults.
I believe few would disagree that one of the essentials of baby care comes within the form of love. Other than the plain need of sustenance to outlive, love comes on the top of a baby?s wants, and that continues proper … Read More

Celebrating the life and legacy of Ken Hartung, R CITY is thankful to receive memorial gifts in his honor. Directed by Ken's granddaughter Elizabeth, R CITY seeks to glorify God by building a path from cradle to career. The resilient youth served by R CITY are overcoming great adversity, including violence and economic hardship within their Chicago neighborhoods.
Ken entered the world of work at age 5, plowing the fields at his family's farm in Kansas and working his way through college cleaning the stadium. R CITY is honoring his legacy of determination and grit by establishing a memorial fund within our youth apprenticeship program. Donations given in Ken's honor will pay stipends (cost: $36,000 annually) and provide transportation (cost: $20,000) for R CITY youth ages 12-18 learning the career of tuckpointing, a masonry skill.
These stipends not only benefit the youth, but their families as well, often making a difference in times of crisis. Practicing their trade through community service, these youth provide free tuckpointing services to low-income homeowners–many widowed–who would otherwise have no means to repair their homes. Until transportation is available, the apprentices are walking significant distances to work sites each day–many after a long bus ride from school.
Gifts may be given online via debit/credit/EFT here or mailed to River City Community Development Center / P.O. Box 51468 / Chicago, IL 60651. Checks should be made to River City Community Development Center with memo to Hartung memorial. For information on donating stock or other types of gifts, please e-mail the directors.

The arrival of Jesus signaled the end to the Temple Model and the beginning of something entirely brand new. Gentiles flocked to this new message & approach to God. Many Jews did as well, but they had some mixed feeling about abandoning the old way. It was their history, their heritage, and their customs. So they attempted to do the natural thing - assimilate Jesus into the old Temple Model.
However, Paul comes along and makes the case that they can't blend & mix the old way with the new Jesus way. As Paul planted churches, he encountered a group of Jewish Christians, Judaizers, who would come behind him teaching these churches an assimilation approach. While many might think it's not a big deal to blend & assimilate Jesus with the Jewish Temple system, Paul would argue that it is a big deal.
In Galatians 5, Paul argued specifically against the need or importance of circumcision as it relates to following Jesus. These Judaizers instructed the Galatian Christians that they needed to become Jewish first, which would include being circumcised. Paul emphatically argued that circumcision is of no value anymore, while it is also foolish to think it is beneficial to obey just some of the Old Covenant.
Then in Galatians 5:6, Paul reminds all of us that...The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. It is not just about vertically asking God if you are good. It is about horizontally making sure you are good with other people.
Paul knew that if we blend or mix in even a small bit of the old way eventually...
- Leaders would become self-righteous.
- Followers would become hypocrites.
- Texts would be manipulated.
- People would be mistreated.
Paul knew that if we blend or mix in any part of the old way, we will eventually miss the main thing...love.
What does love require of you?

And now for the final week of Convergence for this month. This week's theme is Pre-Crisis Multiverse. We begin with Blue Beetle, which takes place on Earth 4. Brought to us by writer Scott Lobdell (Something which almost made me not get this one) and artist Yishan Li.
Despite the title, Blue Beetle shares equal page time with the Question and Captain Atom. Atom is combating an army of Madmen while the Question challenges his use of military force. Ted comes in as he prepares to blast the dome open.
Final Thoughts: I kept the description short, because this is the one I want to spoil the least amount of. A lot happens in this issue including the first time that I've seen Telos's physical body. The actually enemy of the city doesn't appear but battles still take place in Hub City. A villain named Dr. Spectro even makes a joke that sounds like it was about the Batgirl #40 variant cover with the Joker. Speaking of jokes this issue is very funny which is to be expected of Blue Beetle. I highly recommend this as it doesn't follow the formula and is enjoyable. The art is also very good.

The Aqualillies Synchronized Swimming Troupe Is Adorably Retro And Super Inspiring
In a backyard of a home nestled along the windy roads of Englewood, New Jersey, minutes from Manhattan, several members of the Aqualilies — an aquatic performance group — were counting steps. Their routine requires executing a choreographed series of moves that must all happen in perfect harmony. The pool itself was nondescript by most backyard standards, but for team captain Mary Jeanette Ramsey, it met the exact needs for what the group is most used to. "We can't practice in a big pool, since almost all of our work happens in backyard pools like this."
Somewhere between anachronism and nostalgia lies a razor-thin line. Anachronisms are easy to spot: a mismatch in past and present. But nostalgia takes more imagination on the part of the creator, and more familiarity for the witness. It takes 10 seconds of watching an Aqualilies performance to realize how cleverly they're navigating that line, and in a way that's successful and entertaining.
The Aqualilies are a multinational association of synchronized swimmers and dancers preserving an art-form that never quite made it into the mainstream scene. The closest synchronized swimming ever got to the spotlight was in Hollywood's "Golden Age," when director Busby Berkeley transformed Warner Brothers soundstages into spectacles of aqua-ballet, most famously starring Esther Williams. A champion swimmer-turned-actress, Williams earned the nickname Million Dollar Mermaid and was a household name in the 1940s.
Since that time, the aqua-ballet has faded into the past. While synchronized swimming is an Olympic sport, the less mechanized version of it is kept alive to some extent by the Aqualilies, who regularly perform at events in New York and Los Angeles, and as far away as Australia. To become an Aqualily takes around a decade of experience, but otherwise members come from "such a wide variety of backgrounds — we have dancers, we have actresses, we have engineers," says Ramsey, who serves as the Los Angeles-based head of creative and casting (she is an art lawyer herself). Ramsey's job brings her to New York frequently, especially in the warmer months when the Aqualilies perform often.
For experienced swimmers, Ramsey clarifies that the challenge isn't only in the routine. "Every single pool is different," she says. "You have to walk in and be ready to swim with a different group of people." If a team member is injured in the last rehearsal, it can throw the entire routine off balance.
But Ramsey notes that the stress of rehearsing pays off, particularly in how audiences react. "A lot of the time, our audience is not expecting us to swim. They're expecting us to pose poolside." As you can see in the video below, they do a lot more than that.


text: Share: Comments Print August 7, 2009 at 9:48 PM Hasty done at Central, DuRocher officially enrolled Posted by Jon Fisch Some interesting news out of Ellensburg today that former Husky RB J.R. Hasty has been kicked off the team at Central Washington due to failing to pass his summer school classes. Here's the story from the Ellensburg Daily Record. Not sure if this is the end of Hasty's college career but he would have been entering his fifth year, having redshirted as a true freshman at UW in 2005 (he could conceivably have a year of eligibility left at a lower-division school, I think). Hasty was essentially kicked off the team at UW following the spring of 2008 for apparently failing to live up to certain responsibilities. (Here's a story from last June with details on his UW career and departure from the Huskies). The story also notes that former Husky QB Johnny DuRocher has officially enrolled and is now part of the team. This story has some details on the battle for the QB job at Central — ironically, one of the other competitors is former WSU Cougar Cole Morgan. Comments

On Saturday Nov 20th, I wrote about Desert Bus for Hope, LoadingReadyRun's marathon gaming fundraiser for Child's Play. Yesterday, at 3:00pm, after almost six full days of Desert Bus-ing and $200,000 raised, the Desert Bus marathon finally came to an end. Elated, exhausted, and probably rather sick of driving a bus, LoadingReady Run tweeted:
Desert Bus 2010 comes to a close, with E-Cheques yet to clear we should easily clear 200,000.00 this year. THANK YOU EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU
Not surprisingly, the 4th Desert Bus marathon raised more money than ever. It also saw heaps of guest celebs popping in (including uber-geek Wil Wheaton), prizes auctioned off, and geeks clustering around screens to watch other geeks looking at screens. Why not.
And now a REALLY WEIRD commercial for Japanese noodles:

As if five jobs weren't already enough, it was announced yesterday that the former chancellor George Osborne has been appointed as an honorary professor of economics at the University of Manchester. Osborne will not be leading any courses but will be expected to deliver guest lectures. The appointment of an economic policymaker who is not an economist by training makes a bold statement about the way the university wishes to approach the teaching of the subject.
The Post-Crash Economics society of which I am a part has been campaigning for a more real world-focused economics syllabus, and therefore welcomed Osborne's comments in a recent interview with Research. The former chancellor stated that the "teaching of economics has become a bit too science-like and a bit too theoretical", and that "people don't always look for the maximum utility". Given that one of the main things that we have been asking for in our economics education is for more real-world application, Osborne clearly has common ground with our efforts for this part of curriculum reform.
While Manchester University has stated that Osborne's position will be unpaid, we still argue that his appointment is a questionable priority. Time and resources should be devoted to expanding the economics syllabus instead. Osborne's track record demonstrates that he, like the economics curriculum at Manchester, lacks a holistic approach to the economy. While he was chancellor, fiscal economic policy in the UK became very focused on GDP and unemployment levels, which do not take into account inequality, health indicators, educational standards, environmental degradation, job security and many other things that are essential parts of the economy. His austerity policies and legacy have received much criticism from academics and economists for worsening the economic recovery.
We welcome economic policy practitioners into the department who seek to challenge the unrealistic assumptions the models that we are taught often make, but we do not think it goes anywhere near solving the problem. As well as being divorced from the real world, economics degrees are narrow and uncritical, and do not give students sufficient tools and skills to deal with contemporary economic problems. Economics degrees currently train students in neoclassical methods, focusing on individuals and their utility maximisation, rather than encouraging them to critically engage with a range of schools of thought, and making informed, independent decisions about which methodologies are most appropriate for our modern world.
The appointment has also been viewed as a development of the "northern powerhouse" agenda, with Manchester University representing a bastion of cutting-edge research in the "beating heart" of the project. However, this project is very City- and business-focused, and lacks a view about the wider impacts on the region.
What discussions were held about this appointment? Previous decisions appear to be have taken in a very undemocratic way. Input from students (who are paying £9,000 a year to be taught by these appointees, let's not forget) is not taken into consideration, nor is feedback from established teachers and academics. A very small number of people seem to be making the decisions, regardless of the views of those whom the decisions affect most.
While sceptical, we hope that Osborne will remain consistent with his ambition "to pull us away from the ultra-theoretical, model-based approach, to try to get people to think about public-policy decisions in the economic sphere", and that his appointment is the beginning of the economics department beginning to take seriously our criticisms of their failing syllabus and back up their claims that they are committed to a quality education by implementing reforms.

I first met Tana a couple years ago when she asked me to shoot her wedding. It often happens that after the wedding is said and done, the happy couple and I stay in contact. It may be as friends, through continued photo shoots, or both. Tana and Jaime fit into the both category! Nothing makes me happier then having clients who continue to ask me to photograph their special happenings. I actually kind of insisted that Tana let me shoot some maternity shots as a trade for all the business she has drummed up for me over the past couple of years. I have had so many brides contact me after talking to Tana, and I can not thank her enough for that.
So a couple of weeks ago, we braved the cold, and took some maternity photos. Tana is such a gorgeous expectant mother. She told me during the shoot that she wasn't one of those glowing pregnant women, and I strongly disagree. She looks fantastic! Congrats too you and your hubby Tana. I cannot wait to meet the little man.
The above and below are my favorites!

Shane Clanton Opens 2019 WoO Season with Winter Freeze IX Win
48th Annual DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Up Next
Zebulon, Georgia (02/10/19) Shane Clanton made a triumphant start to his 2019 season with a $10,000 World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series victory on Saturday night in the Winter Freeze IX at Screven Motor Speedway.
The win marked his first WoO conquest since August 2017 and came aboard his Weldbank Energy #25 Super K Express/ Capital Race Cars/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.
It feels real good, Clanton said. To go almost a year and a half like I said at the banquet [last year], it just makes you mad. And the guy who wins, it just makes him more determined to come back and win again, and thats what weve done. Weve worked awful hard over the winter to build a new racecar here.
Clanton went on to talk about the teams adjustment that transformed a seventh-place finish on Friday nights opener into a victory on Saturday night.
We made the wrong adjustment last night in the heat race and started on the pole and ran third. Tonight, we kept our spot and got us a good redraw. Starting on the pole was probably key, but our car was awful good the first five or six laps when I caught lapped traffic there. Ive got to give hats off to my guys.
Kicking off the 2019 season, Shane Clanton was one of 39 World of Outlaws (WoO) Morton Buildings Late Model Series competitors on hand at Screven Motor Speedway (Sylvania, Georgia) on Friday night for the Winter Freeze IX.
Timing in second fastest in his qualifying group behind Brandon Sheppard, Clanton went on to finish third in his heat race, which positioned him 12th on the starting grid for the opening night feature. Improving five spots in the 50-lapper, Shane reeled in a seventh-place finish.
On Saturday evening, Clanton followed up the second-fastest time in his group with a 10-lap, heat race victory. Earning the pole position for the A-Main, Shane jumped into the lead at the drop of the green flag and led wire-to-wire en route to his first victory of the season. Kyle Hardy, Chase Junghans, Brandon Sheppard, and Michael Norris rounded out the Top-5 finishers. He was awarded a $10,000 payday for his dominant performance in the 50-lap affair.
With two events complete, Shane, who was the 2015 series champion, currently leads the World of Outlaws point standings. Full results from the weekend are available at
This week February 11-16 Shane will carry his momentum into the 48th annual DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida). On Monday and Tuesday the programs will be headlined by $7,000-to-win, DIRTcar UMP Modified features. Wednesday through Saturdays races will each feature a $10,000-to-win program with the WoO Morton Buildings Late Model Series.

The Federal Law "On the Protection of Competition" and related legal acts will undergo significant changes in the near future, and most of these will come into force on 5 January 2016.
The so-called "fourth anti-monopoly package" was signed into law by the President of the Russian Federation on 5 October 2015. It marks the next stage in the evolution of Russian competition law, is of great practical significance and, to a large extent, aims to remove red tape and a number of administrative formalities. The widely discussed amendments (the "Amendments") are meant to fill in certain loopholes in the current regime. They affect virtually all areas of antitrust regulation and result in, among other things, changes to the existing merger control rules.
Agreements on joint activities between competitors
One of the most important novelties that has an impact on business is the need for competitors to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Anti-monopoly Service of Russia (the "FAS") for the conclusion of agreements on joint activities if certain thresholds are exceeded. The thresholds are the following: (i) if the aggregate value of assets of the groups involved exceeds seven billion roubles or (ii) if the aggregate revenue of such groups for the past year exceeds ten billion roubles. The concept of agreement on joint activities will, in particular, comprise the establishment of joint ventures.
Up until now there were no special rules in this field. Agreements on joint activities / joint ventures could be caught by the general rules on merger clearance, depending on the structure of the project (for example, share or asset deals). However, in many cases, the creation of a joint venture did not need to be cleared with the FAS. The changes constitute a logical and positive step in the overall development of the Russian anti-monopoly legislation, which is largely receptive to the experience of the European Union.
When competitors merge their business operations, this can in fact give birth to a new major player in the market and thus affect competition. In addition, merger control brings more clarity to the regulation of these relations and allows the competitors who are party to the project to have some confidence that their agreement to create a joint venture does not lead to a restriction of competition, which will be supported by the approval of the competition authority. Accordingly, the risk of being held liable in connection with the conclusion of such an agreement is significantly reduced.
Market players implementing such projects should take into account the Amendments in a timely manner and apply to the FAS for clearance. We anticipate that in view of these changes and the broad definition of the concept of "agreement on joint activities" the number of notifications for the FAS clearance of transactions will increase.
Anti-competitive agreements
The Amendments also impact on agreements restricting competition.
The existing prohibition on the conclusion of cartel agreements between competing sellers is extended to competing customers.
Vertical agreements
One of the criteria for the admissibility of "vertical" agreements (between the seller and the buyer) has been clarified. They are allowed provided that the share of each party on the specific market which is the subject-matter of the vertical agreement does not exceed 20%. Previously, in the absence of this clarification the literal interpretation of the statutory provisions resulted in the situation where the above criterion could be applied if the market share of each of the parties did not exceed 20% in any market.
Unfair competition and dominance
The rules on unfair competition are now substantially more detailed and contain some new provisions (for instance, provisions on disparaging statements and creating confusion with a competitor's business or products). Other notable changes affect issues of dominance. As a general rule, an entity whose share in the relevant market is less than 35% can no longer be regarded as having a dominant position.
The register of economic entities with a market share exceeding 35% will no longer be maintained, and a specific ground for obtaining prior approval in relation to the transactions involving such entities will be abolished. Such transactions will require clearance with the FAS only if the established financial thresholds are met.
The Amendments provide that the Russian Government may adopt rules to regulate non-discriminatory access to the goods of dominant subjects that are not natural monopolies and whose market share is more than 70% (the fact of abuse should be established by a decision of the antimonopoly authority).
Procedural issues and administrative liability
When the Amendments come into force, a number of procedural changes will occur:
- the competition authority will more actively use warnings and cautions;
- a collegial body of the FAS will be set up to give clarifications on the application of competition law and review decisions of territorial authorities; and
- the procedure for the review of cases of infringements of competition law will be more detailed.
Changes to the Code on Administrative Offences make it possible for the competition authority to set the minimum amount of administrative fines against those who were the second or third to voluntarily report the conclusion of an anticompetitive agreement (cartel) to the competition authority. To date, it was only possible for a company or group of companies to be exempted from administrative liability – and benefit from the leniency programme – if it was the first to report the conclusion of a prohibited agreement.
Despite the undeniable importance of the Amendments to the enforcement practice, in most cases they will not require immediate action from the market players. In the meantime, competitors intending to enter into an agreement on joint activities (a joint venture) in 2016 should carefully consider the Amendments and plan the rollout of such projects with due regard to the possible need to obtain a prior approval of the FAS.

Jamaica 2003
Spring Break my sophomore year of college - I was on my way to Jamaica - see ya later Cancun and Acapulco. Here we were in beautiful Jamaica, where the beaches and water were so pristine.
I remember beach parties with reggae bands and dancing in the sand. I didn't wear show for a week straight!

March has been a busy month for Superman: Man of Steel casting confirmations with both Diane Lane and Kevin Costner joining the production - as Martha and Jonathan Kent, respectively. If March appeared to focus on the Kent family, February seemed to focus on General Zod casting rumors.
Today we're getting closure on one of those potential rumors: director Zack Snyder has confirmed that Viggo Mortensen (The Road) will not be appearing in Superman: Man of Steel - meaning someone else will be stepping into General Zod's, Kryptonian/leather, shoes - assuming the character will even appear in the film.
Speaking with Latino Review, Snyder was especially candid about rumored front-runner Mortensen, "Yeah Viggo is not going to be in the movie let's say that right now. I can clear that up." The director didn't mention whether or not that could mean that Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis, who was also rumored to be up for the role, will be playing the power-hungry Krytponian.
Zod-related rumors should be taken with a grain of salt until Snyder, or someone else in the production, confirms the character will even be in the film. Prior casting reports would suggest that we'll be seeing some Kryptonian-on-Kryptonian violence but, given the fact that Superman: Man of Steel will be a true reboot, it's too early to say which story beats and characters will carry-over from prior installments.
That said, in our own interview with Snyder, the director stated that Man of Steel will be his most realistic film to date - so, despite the fact we've yet to hear Zod confirmation, the character would certainly be a more likely opponent than Brainiac, Darkseid, or other fan-favorite villains:
"I think the visual style of 'Superman,' though I can't say for certain as it's early, but I kind of feel like — and I did say to the studio – that what's cool for me and interesting, and odd, is that 'Superman' is probably going to be the most realistic movie I've ever made."
Hopefully, realistic doesn't mean that Snyder will simply return to the same well as prior films - casting Lex Luthor as the central threat. Given the fact that Superman (the film that launched the modern franchise) and Superman Returns (which attempted to relaunch the franchise) both focused on Luthor, Zod would at least offer a grander scope for the action sequences - instead of merely rushing Superman around the world in order to save innocent bystanders from one disaster after another.
With the press-tour for Snyder's Sucker Punch wrapping-up, it's only a matter of time before we get another batch of casting confirmations - which will hopefully put some of these rumors to rest.
Follow us on Twitter @benkendrick and @screenrant and let us know who you'd like to see Superman face in the Man of Steel.
Superman: Man of Steel is produced by Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder, and is set to hit theaters in December 2012.

Yoga has literally changed my life, and I think it will change yours as well. Yoga is a sanctuary and a practice to tune in to your own inner voice. Getting your body into a pose is a small part of the practice, and it's just one of many ways to practice. We are interested in your willingness to explore your reaction to the pose, mantra, or kriya. How does it feel? Because the more you get to know yourself on the mat, the easier it is to be your authentic self in the world. All of my classes are non-competitive, mixed levels because yoga isn't one size fits all and it's about listening to your own body and moving from within. You don't need fancy tights or equipment, all you need is your body and breath to practice yoga.
Private Sessions
Tights not included, but yoga mats are. Get one on one attention during your private yoga or reiki session.

Fossils shed light on very different world
When most people hear "fossil," the first image that springs to mind is of a dinosaur – or perhaps, if you live in North Carolina, a large shark tooth.
Though these creatures were compelling in their own rights, they are not the oldest fossils in North Carolina. For these, we have to go all the way back to the Ediacaran Period (635 million to 542 million years ago). Found in sediments from Stanly and Davidson counties, the oldest undisputed fossils from the state are impressions of soft-bodied marine organisms and the preserved traces of their movements across the seafloor.
These fossils are not particularly showy, but they are nonetheless important because they represent some of the earliest evidence for multicellular life.
Approximately 547 million years in the past, the world was different from the one we inhabit. Imagine a world with no mammals, no birds, not even a cockroach. There was no terrestrial life to speak of, yet the oceans were teeming with living organisms.
Put on your imaginary scuba gear and have a look around. You won't see seashells, crabs or starfish, but you will see a bunch of soft-bodied creatures with unfamiliar names such as Pteridinium, Swartpuntia and Aspidella. If you put your foot down, you will probably notice that the seafloor is covered in a scum-like layer known as a microbial mat. All the animals around you are living on, in, or slightly under this mat. It is this mat that will ultimately preserve these organisms for millions of years.
Some of these animals look like plant fronds swaying with the currents; some resemble large flatworms. Others just look like tubes. And almost none of them will look familiar to you.
This unfamiliarity is one of the great joys and also one of the great frustrations for paleontologists. Because paleontologists generally use the present as a key to the past, fossils from the Ediacaran Period can be difficult to identify and can stir much debate: Which group of organisms do they belong to (especially when they are just fragments)? Paleontologists who work with fossils from this period have had to do some major adjustments to their worldview, and perhaps now that you've read about these enigmatic animals, you will, too.
See for yourself: Some of North Carolina's Ediacaran fossils are on exhibit on the third floor of the Nature Research Center at the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh.
Patricia Weaver is collections manager geology/paleontology for the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences. Her research focuses on fossil and extant coleoid cephalopods. In particular, she studies taxonomy of fossil cuttlefish, and biochemistry of fossil and extant squid, octopus and cuttlefish.

Of the many different health care professions in the United States, the nursing career is where one can grow old in without feeling burnt out or becoming bored. This is many thanks to the numerous opportunities that the nursing sector offers, particularly in education growth and career advancement.
Whether you hold a bachelor's of science degree in nursing or an associate's degree in nursing, know that you have many options to explore once you've gained experience through an entry-level job. Here are just a few of them:
Promotion in the management department
In most cases, registered nurses begin to build their careers in healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, as staff nurses. Through exceptional performance, they can move up the employment hierarchy through a promotion, and in general, this takes the form of a managerial position. For instance, a staff nurse can move up the ranks as a unit manager, and in a few more years, a head nurse. Continued education also boosts their chances of getting a promotion.
Expanding into the legal sector
Experience and career advancement opportunities for registered nurses can also occur outside the healthcare sector. You can take your career further and become a legal nurse consultant, which will allow you to practice not just the nursing program you completed, but also the legal side of the health and medical industries.
Of course, you still need to undergo and complete a training program, but this is time well spent, not just because of the better pay, but the satisfaction of having more skills. Furthermore, these health and legal specialists also have numerous job opportunities, making a career in it even more appealing to registered nurses.
More experience, more possibilities
The bottom line is, you can use the knowledge and expertise you gain as a registered nurse in many other branches of the health and medical industries. While it's still your decision to further your career or not, it pays to know that you have many ways of growing personally and professionally.

From Rabbi Ozer Bergman, "Where Earth and Heaven Kiss: A Guide to Rebbe Nachman's Path of Meditation" (Breslov Research Institute), pp. 251-254. Footnotes have been eliminated for this online version.
After Bitul
Based on Likutey Moharan I, 65
Nothwithstanding the loftiness of bitul (nullification of ego), the truth is that God desires your worship more than your bitul. The experience of bitul will open your eyes to the reality of a Unity in which all is good and everything that happens is good. But you can't yet live in that Unity all the time. It would be like trying to buy a house with a futuristic currency—this is not the time or the place where it can be spent.
The point of bitul is the return from it. As important as "getting there" is, coming back with something good and living right as a result is even more important. When you come back from that state, you can take the light and fashion it into proper measures and vessels. The goal is the running to bitul and returning from it with an awareness of God that the residue of bitul enables.
Rebbe Nachman provides you with an idea of what degree of awareness your post-bitul life can have. He tells you that the NoPlace is right here. You can get there with hitbodedut.
Your mind can withstand any temptation. It is written, "God gives wisdom to the wise" (Daniel 2:21). Every person has the potential for wisdom. This potential must be used. With it alone you can overcome all temptations. But God also gives wisdom to the "wise"—this can bring you even greater strength.
Certain impurities in the mind must be subdued. When you do this, you will not want for anything in this world. Everything will be the same to you. It is written, "When you walk it will guide you, when you lie down it will watch over you, and when you awaken, it will champion you" (Proverbs 6:22).
When you have purified your thoughts, there is no difference between this world, the grave and the next world. When you only desire God and His Torah, all are the same. In all three you can grasp onto God and His Torah. But if you grasp at this world, there is an agonizing difference. This world is spread before you, while the grave is a tight, cramped place. If you purify your mind, all will be the same.
So, you've finished your hitbodedut for the day and you come back from bitul. Where are you going to put all that Infinite Light? Into the Torah. Rebbe Nachman teaches that those who succeed in reaching bitul return with a residue of the Infinite Light. As we wrote earlier, God is beyond human ken; no mind can be wrapped around what He is. Only through bitul can He be apprehended. The crux of revealing God's presence in the world depends on securely protecting the memory of that experience.
The Torah you learn will give you the ability to protect and retain the light that remains from your experience of bitul in your intellect and emotions. When you study the Torah with renewed enthusiasm, viewing it in a new light and using it as a springboard for further hitbodedut, you will complete and perfect your bitul, just as you begin to get ready for the next go-round.
The experience of bitul is exhilarating, to say the least. You may be tempted to downplay the importance of trying to "bottle it" within the letters and words of Torah. After all, you saw the light. True enough, but one can still forget something he saw.
Because memory protection is so critical, you must be vigilant about farther sanctifying your mind, rejecting the evil and the unholy so that your brain remains a proper Ark in which the Torah can rest. Without proper sanctification, her great light cannot be contained. And then you forget.
How much Torah must you learn to retain the experience of bitul? Reb Noson points out that a Torah scroll that lacks even one letter is invalid, because it cannot and does not fully hold the light. Therefore, the more holy words of Torah that you speak, the more letters you possess with which to contain the residue of bitul. The more words of Torah that you learn and the more prayers that you speak, the better you will remember what you experienced and the more you can reveal Godliness. Therefore, speak as much Torah as you can.
Bitul is neither a place visited only once in a lifetime nor a permanent residence. It is like a home base which one needs to visit every so often, in a back-and-forth manner:
You make vessels to hold the light.
You touch it and step back.
Rebbe Nachman warns that each time you come back from bitul, equipped with the capability of making the world a better place, the challenges you face will be more difficult and painful, the suffering more intense. Because bitul redirects your focus to the ultimate good that lies behind everything, your return can come as quite a shock, magnifying the problems of this world even more. You must ensure that your joie du Judaisme—the joy that results from your experience of realizing that all is good—is in proper working order in order to survive and succeed. The greater the suffering, the stronger the bitul must be. When it was necessary, Moshe was willing to go so far as to sacrifice every trace of his existence.
When God threatened to annihilate the Israelites for the crime of the Golden Calf, Moshe argued with God to forgive them. If God wouldn't, Moshe said, "Erase me" (Exodus 32:32).
One of the Rebbe's followers was speaking to him about a marriage proposal he had received. He told the Rebbe, "There is no place for me there."
Rebbe Nachman answered, "When a person has a Jewish heart, he has nothing to do with space. The heart is Godliness, and the world is located within God."

ELSCAN OMS6: Ultra-HD print image monitoring
E+L will present the new print image monitoring system ELSCAN OMS6 for the first time at Drupa. It contains two 12 megapixel cameras, which ensures exceptional image quality in Ultra-HD (4x HD) with perfect color reproduction, without apparent distortion in the edges of the image. Thanks to the maintenance and wear-free fixed focus lenses, it can be zoomed without delay. The short flash times of the extremely durable LED flash permit web speeds of up to 1200 m/min. Optionally, special UV and paint flashes can be used to illuminate particularly critical print images perfectly.
Another outstanding feature of the ELSCAN OMS6 is high-speed traversing: The camera can move at positioning speeds of up to 900 mm/s. The drive unit is collector-free, making the camera crossbeam virtually wear free. Web widths of up to 2800 mm can be implemented.
Product category: Control, feed-back control and drive technology
New highly-dynamic actuating drive AG 9
The new actuating drive AG 9 is used in combination with the color line sensor FE 52 and the command station DO 30 for web guiding on unwinders, rewinders and in pivoting frames. Ethernet networking with response times of 1 ms and an actuating speed of up to 60 mm/s ensure maximum actuating dynamics. Even at a high winding speed, that allows optimal compensation of tumbling errors, for example. Control frequencies up to 4 Hz are possible. The motor used in the actuating drive is brushless and thus wear-free. The position is acquired via an integrated absolute encoder. That means that no reference run is required on commissioning, and the current position of the actuating drive is not lost even if the power fails. The controller is also integrated in the actuating drive. The equipment itself is highly compact, allowing it to be mounted even in tight spaces.
The crucial parameters actuating speed, actuating force and actuating travel are infinitely adjustable. This variable design makes logistics, stockholding and spare part warehousing of actuating drives much more easy for customers.
Product category: Control, feed-back control and drive technology
At the drupa 2016, Erhardt+Leimer presents its "Web-based Management" interface for commissioning, operating and servicing complete web guiding systems via an Internet browser. "All of the necessary devices in the network, i.e. sensors, controllers and actuators, are now networked via Ethernet", explains Dirk Schröder, Sales Division Manager at Erhardt+Leimer. "No external tools or operating units are required any more for commissioning and operation. Instead, all that is needed is an Internet browser on a smartphone, tablet PC or other terminal. This means that operators now have wireless access from any location to the graphical user interface of the device in question, so they are no longer tied to the physical location of the machine."
Production Management and Quality Assurance can now access all of the required information at any time and from anywhere in the world via a web browser, allowing them to e.g. view production data quickly and easily in real-time.

Bronco's House: Mark Jenkin's 16mm featurette
Bronco's House
A film about a young couple trying to find a home.
It is an organic story told in a form that is an alternative to ubiquitous contemporary digital filmmaking.
Bronco's House is scripted, cast, budgeted, scheduled, locations found and a distribution plan is already in place.
This film will look and feel different. A real film about real issues.
Everyone working on this film is working for free.
Camera and audio recording equipment, lighting, locations, post production facilities for off-line, grade and audio mix are all being provided in-kind by the filmmakers and friends.
We need money to pay for:
- film stock, chemistry and telecine
- travel, accommodation and catering
- prints, promotion and perks
Detailed breakdown of costs:
We will shoot a 'pre-visualisation' of the entire film during pre-production to mitigate the risk of our limited film shooting ratio, trialling every sequence in digital lo-fi with the 8mm iPhone App, which replicates the 50mm lens which will be used to shoot the actual film.
Principle photography will begin in the middle of March 2014, for two weeks. We've allowed 6 weeks to process and telecine the footage, by hand and machine, with the edit running through June / July.
Picture lock will be achieved by the end of August, with post-production running through the autumn to final delivery of the film by the end November.
We will then begin festival submissions in December and deliver all your crowdfunding rewards in Jan 2015. You can read more about our festival strategy below.
The film will be released in 2015.
Pledge £1 or more...
For a Pledge of just £1, you will receive a Screen Credit on the film.
Pledge £20 or more...
For a Pledge of £20, you will receive a Screen Credit and ALSO a Pre-release Digital Copy of the film.
Pledge £100 or more...
For a Pledge of £100, you receive a Screen Credit, a Pre-release Digital Copy of the film AND a Limited Edition Handprinted Mounted Film Strip taken from the original negative of the film. The composition will be 24 frames - which represents 1 second of the film.
You can see examples of Mark's unique 16mm film strip prints at Newlyn School of Art.
Pledge £250 or more...
For a pledge of £250, we will arrange with you a special screening of the film introduced by the filmmakers and followed with a Q&A session with the director & producer. Of course, you'll also receive a screen credit - whether you're an individual or a venue! We're limiting this reward to venues in Cornwall (to keep it affordable), but if you're elsewhere in the world and would like a screening arranged, please contact us.
Pledge £10 or more...
For us, part of the appeal of shooting with film is that the material is real, film is tactile, not virtual. It exists in the hand, not on a hard drive, you can hold it up to the light and see an image, an image created by light hitting silver halides. It is permanent, timeless, magical...and we want to share this with you. We are offering a unique single frame from the original shooting negative...
Mark Jenkin - Writer Director
Working in digital and analogue mediums and hand-processing super8/16mm film Mark is predominately interested in experimentation within the form, Slow Cinema and Remodernist Film.
His work at present is involved with exploring the contemporary possibilities of Expanded Cinema and the movie image within the gallery space.
He is the author of the Silent Landscape Dancing Grain 13 (SLDG13) Film Manifesto which promotes the aesthetic and practical benefits of handmade celluloid work. Through his teaching Mark is keen to embrace lo-fi practical approaches and develop filmmakers as individual freethinking artists as well as collaborative practitioners.
In 2002 he was awarded the Frank Copplestone First Time Director Award at The Celtic Film Festival for his film Golden Burn and he is also a Royal Television Society Award Winner.
Mark's previous two features, The Midnight Drives and Happy Christmas both screened at festivals internationally.
Denzil Monk - Producer
Creative producer. Cultural activist. Social entrepreneur. Strategic thinker. Relentless doer. Effective communicator. Problem solver. Collaborative facilitator. Reliable deliverer. Inspired leader. Perceptive Crowdfunder. Shrewd Investor. Prolific filmmaker. Poetic writer. Cornish Bard.
Founder / Managing Director at independent film company, Western Light Pictures. Executive Producer at creative production studio, Dogbite. Cornish representative to the Celtic Media Festival.
Denzil has produced a profusion of commercials, music promos, animations, shorts and to date two completed features - Brett Harvey's Weekend Retreat and Mark Jenkin's Happy Christmas. He is currently developing a slate of six features at Western Light Pictures.
Henry Darke - Bronco
Mae Voogd - Girlfriend
Mary Woodvine - Sister
Richard Ballinger - Father-in-law
Colin Holt - The Landlord
Jesse Leroy-Smith - Stranger
Nick Harpley - Narrator
Bronco's House will be distributed by Western Light Pictures.
The first stage of our distribution strategy is targeted film festivals. Bronco's House is not a mainstream genre film - we are targeting festivals and slots which specifically program and promote auteur experimental film. These range from 'the most daring sections' at major festivals like the Berlinale Forum, to niche and underground festivals like Ann Arbor and the Paris Festival for Different and Experimental Cinema.
The idea is to then launch the film as a multiplatform day and date release. This will comprise a limited theatrical run at selected cinemas of Bronco's House, double-billed with a complementary archive featurette. We'll also make the film available to screen at independent cinemas and non-theatrical venues through exciting new digital distribution service Cinegi, and Venue-On-Demand platform Tugg. This will coincide with the online launch on VOD platform Distrify, for viewers to stream or download to own the film at home.
We'll work with promoters to encourage synchronous screenings to the official launch. If you're interested in running a screening in a venue near you - please get in touch and let us know!

Risks and challenges
If we don't raise the full amount, this film won't get made. This is the leanest budget we could make workable.
We'll be working to a 3:1 shooting ratio, which doesn't allow for much error - but this is also part of the beauty of working with film (rather than digital) Every shot, every take will be carefully considered before calling "Action!"
Part of the nature of experimental filmmaking is risk - and we believe these risks are part of what makes filmmaking challenging, exciting and creative.
When we made 100 min feature 'Happy Christmas' we worked to some very simple principles: "Have a clear vision. Work with available resources. If something's not happening, change tack. Keep the momentum moving on."
This is how we will work, with you, to make Bronco's House.
We need your help to reach our target to make this film a reality.

Currently in Belton MO (Low 63 Partly Sunny and Nice High 80)
With all the stuff in need of repair we decided we needed a diversion, a fun night out. We also needed a win and we got one (more on that later).
Saturday night we went to an Elvis Tribute Show. Bobby Simkins was the Elvis Tribute Artist. He started out with "CC Rider".
He sang for over 2 hours with one break. It was a great show with songs that Elvis sung including rock, gospel, and country. We even got a Christmas song. We were also treated to Elvis singing the National Anthem which he will perform at a home game on August 13th for the minor league baseball team in the KC area, the T-Bones. Here is Elvis on stage.
While in the crowd there was a great silhouette that Bob was lucky enough to catch.
He ended with an iconic Elvis pose. He really looks like Elvis in silhouette and in this pose.
As diversions go this was a great one. As wins go right now any win is a good one. Another annoying thing we have dealing with is the tilt out drawer on the island. Going down the road has loosened the mounting screws a few times. The trip to Belton was the trip of all trips for breaking stuff and the door gave up the ghost. Bob used the old matchstick trick gluing them in the enlarged holes. Remounting the door was difficult due to very tight working conditions and some contortionist like positions. Does Bob look like he is having a good time?
The good news is we were able to reattach the door. The bad news is that Bob needs a trip to the chiropractor 😏
We needed a diversion and a win and we got both.
Till next time,
Bob and Jo

Is Bob practicing up on his ballet positions? LOLReplyDelete
Jim uses that matchstick trick all the time. Bob looks like he is having sooo much fun. Sure hope things start looking up for you guys. Some Elvis impersonators are really good. A diversion is a good thing - chiropractors, not so much.ReplyDelete
The show sounds wonderful and just what the doctor ordered. Great silhouette photo.ReplyDelete
I had a good laugh at Bob on the floor. You look so relaxed. Hehe
