Boko Haram has released a new video claiming to show the missing Nigerian schoolgirls, alleging the teenagers had converted to Islam and would not be released until all militant prisoners were freed.
The footage shows about 130 girls in black and grey full-length hijabs sitting on scrubland near trees, reciting the first chapter of the Muslim holy book, the Koran, and holding their palms upwards in prayer.
There was no indication of when the video was taken, although the quality is better than on previous occasions and at one point an armed man is seen in shot with a hand-held video camera.

Engineered or synthetic biology is an emerging field in which new biological systems are created or existing ones are altered to perform new functions. For example, microbes that produce chemicals they would not normally produce or that seek out and destroy cancerous tumors. The industry has enormous economic potential and is predicted to be worth $10.8 billion by 2016.
Synthetic biology is promising but not yet systematic. It often relies on expensive and inefficient trial-and-error efforts to optimize designs for each new application. Better measurements and a theoretical understanding of the control mechanisms of biological systems will make these engineering efforts less costly and more predictable.
NIST currently invests about $1 million to address measurement challenges in synthetic biology, specifically in reducing the uncertainty of DNA sequencing. Working closely with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and academic and industrial collaborators, NIST has been active in mapping out future efforts with the synthetic biology community.
Through a series of international symposia focused on synthetic biology, the community identified several major technical challenges that need to be overcome for synthetic biology to realize its full potential. These challenges may be overcome by creating standardized biological components, additional measurements and databases; establishing better understanding of the underlying scientific foundations for biological systems; developing new tools to test and control the interactions of synthesized biological materials; and building ways to enhance worldwide collaboration.
Proposed NIST Program
The president's FY 2015 budget requests an increase of $7 million (for a total of $8 million) to ensure quality and predictability in the design of synthetic biological systems for efficient production of fuels, chemical feedstocks, pharmaceuticals and medical therapies.
Initiative-funded efforts will include the following:
- Coordinate, develop and assess new measurement technologies for engineered biological systems, as well as benchmarking tools for existing techniques.
- Develop robust design and testing tools for biological systems.
- Based on established expertise in gene sequencing, NIST will develop and test standards for DNA modification and synthesis, including assessing the results of DNA modification on gene expression. NIST also will focus on robust, high-throughput methods for generating large volumes of validated data on gene expression for engineered biological systems.
- Develop and deploy predictive models for biological systems.
- Through collaborations, NIST will develop and critically evaluate theoretical models that allow prediction of a desired biological response, connecting DNA sequences to dynamic behaviors. NIST will work with the community to collate and evaluate data and predictive models and also to develop a shared resource of data, theoretical models, and a component repository to allow performance assessment of models.
Additional information
Much of NIST's current research is done in the Material Measurement Laboratory's Biosystems and Biomaterials Division.
NIST has several post-doctoral opportunities in synthetic biology.

All summer I've been working hard on The Amazing Race Canada, which is very rewarding but takes a lot of time. We've also been working on Custom Built and shortly we'll be starting a new show called Sugar Showdown. But we'll be done Race by mid-month, and while it's always fun to work on I can't say won't be happy to have some more spare time!
It's also really cool to work on something and watch the public react to it. On Wednesday nights, Twitter is buzzing with activity about the latest episode of Race, and it's a good feeling knowing that I helped to contribute to that.
Since I've been so busy with work I haven't had much time to work on anything new, but here are a few pictures that I took recently that I like.

Cancer is found in one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes and has spread into other areas of the pelvis, or primary peritoneal cancer is found within the pelvis. Stage II is divided into stages IIA and IIB. In stage IIA, cancer has spread from where it first formed to the uterus and/or the fallopian tubes and/or the ovaries. In stage IIB, cancer has spread from the ovary or fallopian tube to organs in the peritoneal cavity (the body cavity that contains most of the organs in the abdomen).

Napping comes in many different guises, such as a siesta, forty winks, a snooze and more. Despite the different names, they are all just essentially short periods of daytime sleep, which are designed to give you an immediate burst of energy to help get you through the rest of the day.
If you've had a busy day, you may often find yourself yearning for a quick sleep to help you make it to the end of the day. If you constantly feel like this, you may need to make more a significant change in your sleeping patterns, but feeling the need to nap occasionally is perfectly healthy. Plus, napping can be beneficial to your productivity and concentration.
As a rule, a nap should only last around 15-20 minutes. If you sleep for much longer than this, then you will fall into deep sleep, meaning you will feel groggy and perhaps even more tired than before the nap. As long as you keep the nap short, in which you will only enter NREM1 or NREM2 stages of sleep, you will feel immediately revitalised for at least a short period of time.
These short naps are often called 'power naps', as they are designed to give you more energy, and while it may be difficult to find an appropriate place to sleep, they can be useful in the workplace. Siestas are common place in Mediterranean countries, and napping at work is becoming more commonplace in Japan.
While one short nap a day is fine, any more could be a sign that you are sleep deprived. Napping exclusively to gain your daily amount of sleep (a practice known as 'polyphasic sleeping') is also potentially dangerous and largely untested. People with insomnia and similar sleep disorders should avoid napping, as it may further affect night-time sleep patterns.
Napping isn't for everyone, as many people will find they simply don't feel the need for one, but if you do need one, it does not necessarily mean you have any problems with your sleep routine. Simply listen to what your body is telling you, and you should gain enough sleep to get you through the day.
A daily nap can be a perfectly healthy part of your life. As long as you avoid falling into a longer, deeper daytime sleep you will feel the benefits with a quick boost of energy, and your regular night-time sleep will be unaffected.

Security experts have found several bugs in Near Field Communication Systems (NFC).
NFC allows people to pay for goods and services by touching their handset to a payment terminal; however, the inclusion of the technology has proved useful to hackers seeking a way to take over mobile phones.
Security experts demonstrated the weaknesses in NFC technology at an event in Tokyo.
The event involved a competition where researchers and developers used bugs in an attempt to subvert a series of handsets.
A prize pool of £271,000 was available to those who managed to gain access to a handset via a bug they had found.
Entrants all received cash by taking less than 30 minutes to carry out a successful attack via a previously unknown vulnerability.
There were eight separate devices used as targets for the security experts, including an Apple iPhone, Blackberry Z30, Amazon Fire Phone and Google Nexus 7.
One the first day of the competition, five teams successfully used the bugs they had found to take over five devices.
Among the winners were UK security expert Adam Laurie, Japan's team MBSD and South Africa's MWR Info Security.
The Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy 5, LG Nexus 5 and Amazon Fire phone were all successfully compromised.
Details of all the vulnerabilities have been shared with the handset makers so that bugs can be patched and fixed.

Some bad news for you. I don't have anything to say, so, if you're looking for that quality #content, then I'm afraid you're gonna have to look elsewhere.
Good news, hey, I have a website. It's where I'll collect all my stuff as time goes on, and you will all be able to enjoy it. I thought it'd be bad form to post a blog page without a single entry, so I filled words into this text box and here we are.
In addition: here is a picture of me!
And that, as they say, is a blog post. I'll use this blog for anything that doesn't fit into the other sites I write for, so it'll only be updated sparsely, but it's nice to have.


text: Well guys, this week the poop is on us. This week we watched the indie slasher/paranormal/whatever horror movie "Stabbed in the Face". This chaotic catastrophe of a film suffers from a total lack of identity along with the other usual suspects of bad writing, bad directing, bad acting, one dimensional characters, and awful music. Highlighted by the song "The Poops on You", which I feel is oddly appropriate, because that's what I feel this movie did to us. Not only is the poop on us, but its on everyone that was involved with this movie and any other sorry suckers that have watched this turd.

When learning copperplate, you find the need for different types of guidelines as you progress through the different stages of learning and as you discover your preferences. There's a LOT of options available online, each a little different. Here's 3 free printable PDFs for each stage of your progress, including my own guidelines:
1. For absolute beginners
Joseph Vitolo
Nice basic instruction on how to use guidelines and clearly marked header and baselines to avoid confusion. Perfect for your first time. I only wish the lines were lighter so they wouldn't interfere with my letterforms.
2. For when you're a bit familiar
but still learning the letterforms: Modified version of Anintran's PDF
These were originally very dark, so I took them, smushed them vertically to shorten the line-height and made the lines lighter. This is what I personally used for the longest time while learning the script.
Anintran has a nice collection of even more guidelines.
3. For regular practice
My own "No-fuss Copperplate Guideline Sheets"
Even though there are so many different options available online, I couldn't find anything quite perfect enough for my regular practice. So I created my own version which is more of a grid than guidelines.
Use these once you know your ascender and descender heights well and just want a no-fuss paper that just helps you maintain horizontal and diagonal angles. It's got a small x-height, and very light lines so you can see your writing.
Available in my Shop for free. Just add to cart and checkout, you will not be asked for any payment details.
What paper to print them on?
I print them on Canson layout paper (click for Amazon.in link). If you use regular printer paper, make sure you're using sumi ink and not India ink, because the latter is quite a pain on thin papers.
Where to buy the tools?
If you're not sure where to find a pointed pen in India or which ink to start practicing with, read my next post, How to assemble a copperplate starter kit.
Post a comment if you have any questions.

Srinagar: Bahadur Ali, the Pakistani terrorist who was captured alive by security forces after a fierce gunbattle, was on Saturday remanded to 12-day National Investigation Agency (NIA) custody.
The NIA, which has been interrogating Ali since his arrest in Kashmir, has managed to get some startling revelations from the Pak-based terrorist.
According to new agency ANI, Bahadur Ali, alias Saifullah revealed before NIA that he 'was sent to Kashmir to kill innocent civilians in the wake of ongoing unrest in the Valley.'
The 22-year-old terrorist also confirmed to the NIA that he was trained by Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in guerilla warfare and has met Jamaat-ud-Dawaah (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed twice. Ali said that he was in regular touch with a Control Room established in PoK, where his handler Walid was instructing him.
The shocking revelations were made by him days after the Home Ministry confirmed that he was a Pakistani national from the Lahore city.

Not Round Bowls
Objective: Discussion form and function of a common functional object.
Students were asked to think about the shape of a bowl and whether it must be a round shape. In the lesson I supported the children in learning about coil pot techniques, thinking about the rules of function vs design, and creating a functional bowl. Before building they had to decide whether to start round and then alter, or build from an altered base.
Grade Level: 10-13 years old
Subject: Arts - Ceramic
Length of Time: 90 Minutes
Set Up
- Slab Roller/Rolling pin
- 2lbs of clay for slab and extra clay for coils
- Pin tool and smoothing tools
- Water and sponges
- Paper and Pencil for sketching
- Underglaze colors
Discussion: What makes a bowl a bowl?
I had a meeting with the students to discuss the features of a bowl and to support them in defining the bowls there were going to make.
What is the shape?
Is there a standard Volume?
What is the main function?
Must it hold liquid?
What makes it functional?
Does it have to be functional?
Structure and Construction
Coil Pots!
- These students have already had lesson in coil pots so we did a refresher.
The Base:
- The students have the choice to make a round form and then alter it or to start with and altered base and build the walls of the bowl up from that base.
They must consider:
- Stability - Coil building process
- Structure - 4 inch high walls
- Shape - not round
- Rules of bowls discussed
- Volume - Minimum 2 fists
- 3 colors for painting

I haven't posted in a long time…but there really isn't much to say. We've been taking a break from the whole baby making shiz since our last fail in December. Honestly, it's been nice not having to deal with it. No shots in the ass, no shoving pills down my throat…or in my vagina, no painful invasive devices that force open my cervix. You can imagine that my vagina and body are truly loving this break.
The weird thing is though…the longer we stay on this break, the more my husband and I don't want children.
I know having children is like, the best thing ever if you're a parent, but man, you have to give up quite a lot for them. Your life completely 180's and has to revolve around your kids' schedule. Your time becomes THEIR time. Do I want to wake up at 5:00 AM every morning?
Fuck no. Do I want to pay out my asshole for school tuition? Umm, nope. Do I want to drive my child every weekend to soccer/dance/baseball/basketball/karate/hula practice?? No thanks. So yes…we may be giving up sooner than anticipated.
And I know everyone says that once you stop trying, that's when you'll get pregnant. But we've stopped trying for seven months…and N.O.T.H.I.N.G. So don't tell me that shit anymore. You can only force nature so much. If it's not meant to be…then it's not and we can finally move on.
I do have another three eggs in the freezer, but we both feel that the likelihood that a third IVF transfer works is slim to none. So why even try? Do we really want to throw another $5000 in the trash? No.
My husband has already decided that he doesn't want to try anymore…but I'm still hanging by a thread. I don't really want to waste any more time and money and my EMOTIONAL SANITY, but yet I don't want to dump three potentially good eggs either. And since we don't want to keep paying to have my eggs frozen, we have this year to decide whether to try one last time, or just quit now. And maybe get another dog instead. Because you know FOR A FACT that it's happening if we don't end up having kids. Siberian husky here I come.
And let's be real here…I'm not even a kid person. I'm a lot more inclined to adopt five kittens and three dogs and live my life managing their instagram pages. Right?

( CNN) For all the hype, it wasn't until after President Donald Trump and his Russian equivalent Vladimir Putin were done talking, more than two hours after their G20 mini-summit began, that the real drama kicked off.
Trump and Putin entered the meeting with Russia's meddling in the 2016 US presidential campaign hanging over their heads. Putin, of course, has been accused of ordering it; each member of Trump's inner circle are at the center of a probe into whether they colluded with the Kremlin.

On 17 October 2018, in Kerch, Crimea, an armed 18-year-old student broke into an industrial college, opened fire with an assault rifle, killing 20, and then committed suicide. Over 50 people were wounded, including 15 in critical condition caused by the shooting and the explosion of a shrapnel-filled improvised explosive device (IED).
The police and security services also found a second IED that had not exploded. The police and security services initially treated the incident as a politically motivated terrorist attack, but then reclassified it as a school shooting similar to incidents in the US. As yet, there have been no claims of responsibility for the incident, and no motive has been established.

This month's blog is full of news that I hope is interesting to you. I find that reference to my blog are complimentary and seems enlightening to my readers. Some of the comments seem to be referencing nothing in particular, so I am unable to reply positively to particular references that are made. It is nice to make general comments but it would help to be more specific so that I can understand what you wish to imply.
I find it necessary to point out from time to time the reason for my blog. Readers who find my blog from searches may find it interesting and I appreciate that. But I need to address some things for those who are visiting for the first time.
It has been several months since I started writing the blog in 2012. I enjoy writing, and enjoy the pleasure of information that comes to me from various sources. There are some bits of information that I create myself. The blog is not intended to be political, although I may make political references occasionally.
The purpose is to discuss with you, the reader, on a variety of subjects that interest me, and of course, to share those thoughts with you as well. The important thing is that whatever I write and pass on to you is truthful and factual. That is my mission.
There are those of you who are interested in offering assistance to me in writing the blog. I appreciate the offers, but the joy of writing it is that I do it myself. Should you be interested in doing a blog yourself contact me and I can offer suggestions to you about how to get started and where you can get help.
Muse One of the biggest news items in May in the press is Jason Collins, the NBA basketball player who announced his sexual orientation. Apparently that was huge news in the sports world and Sports Illustrated featured the story in it's May issue of the magazine.
This was a big deal, the fact that Jason Collins made the announcement of his sexual orientation preference, and it tells the story about his coming out to family and friends. Well, this happens everyday, without any fanfare, with young and older people deciding to make that decision, sometimes in dire situations unlike in Collins' situation.
Now that it is out in the open, what now and so what? For sure that weight has been lifted off him, especially announcing it to his twin brother, who supports him and strong family ties that helps him to be the person he always was. The difference is that everyone knows now, and people who do not understand what being gay openly in this world to the individual will have their opinions anyway. However, I am sure Jason Collins will go on with his life with a different attitude about all that. He has had a wonderful career in the sports world and with his personality and upbringing he will be a hero to many for doing what he has done. Good luck to him.
Have you noticed the increasing amount of apps (applications) in our lives currently? Especially in magazines, not counting the ones that are offered in your iPhones and smart phones. The apps are usually free to the user and are intended to give additional information to the magazine's readers. The technology is surely available to us if we use it and if we want it. Of course, in this technological age, we have to make the decision about how much these technical advances impact our lives and effect our lives. Each of us need to make that determination for ourselves and have to make choices carefully.
Music therapy is a topic in a recent issue if AARP Magazine. In this magazine article it tells how important music therapy is to some people, especially in the case, for example, Gabby Giffords, who was shot in Colorado. Her life is filled with music in her therapy, and it has been a valuable source of her improvement. If you have a family member, or friend, who has to have any kind of therapy music may be a part of their improvement. Read the article for more information.
Bits & pieces The Travon Martin trial is slated to start on June 10, 2013. This controversial court session will no doubt be the highlight of the current news cycle and will be the focus of daily accounts. Interesting to note, Zimmerman's lawyer elected to bypass the "Stand Your Ground" law requested by Zimmerman, and elected therefore to have him stand trial before a jury. Watch this case carefully.
Before this was posted there was additional information that the judge, Seminole County Circuit Judge, Debra Nelson, made the announcement that ruled Zimmerman's lawyers will not be allowed to present in opening statements Martin's tough talking text messages and social media posts, nor any discussion of his drug use. Part of the defense strategy is to shred the character of the Miami Gardens teenager who was shot to death last year in Sanford.Like I mentioned previously in posts, this case is one we have to pay close attention to the proceedings. The fact that Martin may not have been a regular and typical teenager is not the issue. He was innocent regarding the aggressive manner and motives that Zimmerman took at the time of the shooting incident.
There is a short film being circulated on YouTube lately,"The Strange Thing About The Johnson's", by a young, white film maker, Ari Aster, about an upper class, Black American family. The film has caused much controversy because it concerns a subject sinister as incest regarding the father and son who is the perpetrator in the story. The family consists of a mother, father and son and the storyline is over a few years starting with the son in his early teen years. The fact that the family is Black has no bearing in the story, in fact that is not the focus at all. And, that is part of the controversy. Many in the Black audience have problems with the film, and even though there are not racial overtones in the film they blame the writer of the film and an excellent cast because of the subject matter and for bringing the subject out in the open. Incest is a problem that has a dark past, and bringing this subject as portrayed by a Black cast has caused problems because it is seen as one more negative attempt to bring the Black Community down. Well, we are now living in a society that many things in our lives are no longer unsaid and unspoken. This situation has been swept under the rug so to speak and it must be opened for all to see. There are many people who are living their lives daily with this threat. Surely, this story is disturbing, but worthy of discussion. Agree? Join a conversation. I welcome it.
Talkin' Jazz This month on June 15 we celebrate the artistry of one of the most prolific pianists in jazz. Erroll Garner was born in Pittsburg, PA in 1921. He has a twin brother. Garner passed away on January 2, 1997, and it is undeniable that he is one of the most original piano players in the history of jazz.
Garner was a prolific and outstanding player, and the most improvisational player as well. The outstanding accomplishment about Erroll was that he did not read music and it was not something that prevented him from being the pianist he became. Erroll also was one of the most recorded pianists in jazz, and highlights were his recordings of Concert By The Sea, a live recording that sold many records, and another, Body And Soul. Erroll recorded many of the standards of the day, but his most important recording was his composition of Misty, that was recorded by just about everyone, most notably, Sarah Vaughan and Johnny Mathis who had hit recordings from it. My personal choice would be the Columbia recording that contains many of the songs that Erroll sat down at the piano and played extended versions of standards, but one piece that stands out…chorus after chorus of the most incredible improvised version of Lullaby Of Birdland. Pure jazz.
Mulgrew Miller, jazz pianist, has passed away on May 29. He was 57 years old. He was one of the most respected pianists and bandleaders, working with a trio or group, and one of the warmest and gentlemanly people you could ever meet.
I met Mulgrew in Boston when he was one of the musicians invited to play for a tribute to fellow musician, pianist, James Williams. His legacy, on recordings in the studio and live performances will endear him to many. R.I.P., Mulgrew.
To close with this month's entry I want to mention some things that might interest you.
Polaroid Corporation was featured in Art News Magazine in a news item column in Art Talk in the April 2013 issue.
Christopher Bonano's article, an art editor at the New York Times Magazine, has written a history of Polarid photography in Instant: The Story Of Polaroid. Drawing from a series of interviews and from hidden archives that went public in 2010, two years after Polaroid stopped producing film for it's cameras. This book is currently available if your interested in the history of instant photography.
A companion book on the same subject is, The Polaroid Years: Instant Photography and Experimentation is filled with images from such stellar artists and photographers including Ansel Adams and Andy Warhol. For those who appreciate the art works that instant photography presented, the 20X24 camera especially, these books may please you and peak your interest.
An interesting story to close with is an incident that involves the late President Kennedy. On the day the President was to arrive in Dallas for the next day's events the President was supposed to be presented with a gallery of art that was to be hung in his honor for the next day. However, the President's party including Mrs Kennedy arrived late and they were unable to see the exhibit hung in the hotel in their honor. However, the next morning to their delight, they were simply impressed and made a call to the people who arranged the exhibit to approve of what they had seen; that included some of the most important artists in the world. That exhibit of artworks opens on May 26, 2013. One comment was made, however, that the telephone call the President made was the last call before he was assassinated.

"In this painting I'm depicting a man and a woman with their bodies entwined and showing happiness in a surreal setting that is full of mysticism. The woman's fertility is evident in her pregnant body. The couple's joy and dynamism come together in a dance rich with emotion," explains Juan Sandoval of this admirable composition. The Peruvian artist combines walnut stain and pencil with oil and acrylic paints to set the mood for romantic fantasy.
Titled "Danza de la fertilidad" in Spanish.

"For me, the decision to paint was more daring than challenging. I assumed it as such and I continue to carry it out with honor and love."
"I have drawn and painted since I was a schoolboy, and I believe it was then that I set out to become an artist. Thus, with this long-caressed desire, I came to the School of Fine Arts. In my painting, I am concerned with man - not man within the benign universe, but essentially man within society. I paint with oils and watercolors using both brush and palette knife. I make a sketch before beginning to paint, although I do not hesitate to modify something if it is in the interest of the theme, including colors that better express it.
"I prefer warm colors, such as earth colors and violets. They are vivid and command attention, they are strong and transmit energy. It is not so easy to know when one has finished his work. I feel it when I see that I have achieved the qualities of color and harmony of form. In painting, there is always something of the great masters. In order to achieve a pictorial identity of one's own, it is necessary to make one's own way.
"For me, the decision to paint was more daring than challenging. I assumed it as such and I continue to carry it out with honor and love.
"Novica is an excellent window for young people to display their art with a contemporary vision of life, its beings and nature."

The Vlast Truda
Plywood Plant has a 150-year history which began from nearly artisan
production of matches.
In 1858, it was
Stepan Petrovich Kamendrovsky who undertook quite a new business for Nizhny
Lomov town. The Kamendrovskys could
hardly imagine that very soon the Nizhny Lomov district would become the centre
of match industry in the Volga Region.
In 1887, the
factory manufactured 20,000 cases of phosphorous matches and 2,000 cases of safety
or Lucifer matches to the total amount of 35,000 rubles. The matches were sold in Nizhny Lomov, Penza, Syzran, Saratov.
In 1894, the Kamendrovskys were the first in Russia who turned entirely to
manufacture of safety matches and introduced the maximum possible automation to
the match production. In the period between 1897 and 1901, the factory was
completely electrified. Due to the reorganization the factory grew into one of
the major facilities in the branch and the most technically innovative
manufacture in Russia. It was well-known for its high quality
products as well. In 1896, the Kamendrovsky's matches won the gold medal at the
famous Nizhny Novgorod Fair.
In 1900, Fedor,
Stepan Kamendrovsky's son, made his first visit abroad and exhibited their
products at the Fair in Paris. The quality of the Russian fabricator's
matches made a great impression even on the Swedish manufacturers renowned in Europe for their best-quality matches. As a result, Fedor Kamendrovsky won his first foreign medal for his quality products.
In the same year
Stepan Kamendrovsky died, and his son Fedor Kamendrovsky took the family
business in his hands. By that time, Nizhny Lomov district
became the major supplier of matches in the South Russia. The Kamendrovskys matches, labeled with
the manufacturers trade mark showing a lions head against the background of
the rising sun, won 10 medals at the trade fairs in Nizhny Novgorod, Paris, London, Leipzig, and Rome.
They defied competition with the best European matches made in Sweden. The
purchase orders were sent to Nizhny Lomov from Russia,
Europe, Trans-Caucasian countries, Central Asia, Iran,Turkey
In 1917, the
factory was nationalized and renamed several times. In February 1936, the
Peoples Commissariat for Forestry made a decision to reconstruct and
reorganize the "Vlast Truda" Match Factory into a plywood factory. In 1937, the reconstruction was completed, and
the manufacture of plywood for aircraft industry began. Only one hot pressing
machine was used with an annual capacity of 15,000 cubic meters.
During the WWW II a second hot pressing machine was installed. In 1942, the
factory fulfilled the Government war-effort order to manufacture special-purpose
skis. During the wartime 29,000 cubic metersof plywood were produced, as well as a great number of war-and
defense-essential products. In 1954,
a furniture making section was launched at the factory.
The section was in operation until 1978, when it was reconstructed for
manufacture of shaped parts.
The plant
celebrated its one-hundredth anniversary, having already grown into a
manufacturing enterprise of a strong financial position, good economic health
and being a newcomer in the foreign market. The first export batches were
manufactured by the Vlast Truda in 1961. The main export product was the FBA-E
Grade C 4 mmsanded plywood bonded with albumin-casein glue. The product of that type was
much in demand in the domestic market as well, but the factory could not fill the
local need because of low manufacturing capacity and lack of proper equipment. For
this reason, in 1968, the regional authorities made a decision "�n reconstruction of the plant and the increase of
production capacities". In 1971, piles for construction of a new plywood
production department were drawn. In 1970, the manufacture of FK urea-resin
bonded plywood was launched. The annual capacity reached 22,500 cu. m.. In
1982, due to the innovation techniques introduced at the plant the manufacture of
a new products range began: FK plywood, FK-E plywood (export-grade), FSF
plywood, and 4-12 mmaircraft grade plywood. The urea-formaldehyde resin with sulfite-waste liquor was
used, and a cold pressing method was applied for mechanical feeding of plywood
bales into the hot press. 5 years later, the manufacture was organized of TM
fire-retardant plywood for subway cars. And in 1996, we launched the production
of TM fire-retardant plywood for railroad coach industry.
In 1995, the plant
was awarded by the Building and Woodworking International (BWI) with the "Arch of Europe Star for Excellence and
Quality". The plant was
put on the list of the Russia�™s
major manufacturing enterprises and won "The Leader of the Russian Economy"
Honorary Award

A Tribute to Dr Derek Henderson, 1929 to 2009Date Released: Thu, 13 August 2009 16:22 +0200
With deep sadness we acknowledge the passing of Dr Derek Scott Henderson, Rhodes University's Vice-Chancellor for 21 years from 1975 to 1996. Dr Henderson died at Settlers' Hospital last Friday surrounded by his family, just four months after the death of his beloved wife, Dr Thelma Henderson.
Dr Henderson was the first South African and first Rhodes-educated man to become Vice-Chancellor of Rhodes University. He also had the distinction of being appointed South Africa's first ever professor of computer science at Wits University in 1967. Holding degrees from the world's best universities – Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard – Dr Henderson was a serious academic and an educationist at heart. He brought to Rhodes a more business-oriented perspective, transforming the University into a financially viable institution and attracting strong academics. Above all, his intentions were to raise Rhodes in the tradition of the great universities of the world.
A firm believer in the paramount importance of democracy, education and equal access for all race groups, the former Vice-Chancellor and his officials defied the nationalist government in 1979 by making Rhodes the first university in South Africa to integrate races in student residences.
Dr Henderson attended St John's College in Johannesburg where he became a headboy and matriculated in 1945. He completed a BSc at Rhodes in 1948 with distinctions in maths, applied maths and physics and then took up a Rhodes scholarship at Oxford University in 1951. He then sharpened his qualifications with another honours degree, this time in the logic section of the moral sciences tripos at Cambridge University. While waiting to go to Oxford a senior classics lecturer, S Whiteley, suggested he spend some time educating himself properly in the classics department. He had also elected to learn touch-typing with the university's secretarial candidates and later claimed that it was the combination of Greek, schoolboy Latin and typing that led him to computers.
A move into the corporate world saw Dr Henderson joining Anglo American Corporation as private secretary to Harry Oppenheimer in 1956. He then started lecturing mathematics at Wits until his interest in computers led him to Harvard University where he obtained his doctorate in applied mathematics, making him one of only 12 doctorates in the field of computer science at the time. He then joined IBM, the world's largest computer company at the time, and was part of the architectural team that designed the prototype of the IBM 360 family of computers. He later returned to Wits where he developed and directed the country's first computer centre and, in 1967, was appointed Professor of Computer Science and later Dean of Science at Wits before becoming the third Vice-Chancellor of Rhodes.
In the early years at Wits he met and in 1958 married Geography lecturer Thelma Mullins, whose strong social conscience made the couple a formidable team who became a great asset to the Grahamstown community. Dr Henderson was to say later that if his wife's 1974 Progressive Party anti-apartheid campaign to become a member of the Transvaal provincial legislature had succeeded, he might not have become Rhodes' Vice-Chancellor.
Upon his retirement, when financial insolvency threatened the existence of the Grahamstown Foundation in September 1999, Dr Henderson worked tirelessly to keep the doors of the 1820 National Settlers Monument open. Having served on the Council since 1975, he acted initially as a volunteer curator and, as the situation improved, as Executive Director on a stipend until 2002.
During his tenure at Rhodes, Dr Henderson served on the State President's Scientific Advisory Council from 1988 to 1994 and on the Council for Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) from 1982 to 1987. After retirement he was a member of the Grahamstown Transitional Local Council and the Council of St Andrew's College, and honorary life president of the Grahamstown Foundation Council. He was also a former treasurer of the Eastern Cape Branch of the Royal Society of South Africa.
Dr Henderson's death is a great loss to the Rhodes and Grahamstown communities and he will be remembered fondly by the many people whose lives he touched.
Rhodes University lowers its flag and extends its deepest sympathy to Dr Henderson's family in their personal loss of an exemplary man and role model, a loyal partner, and devoted father and grandfather.
The funeral, which will include an academic procession, will take place in the Rhodes Chapel at 14:30 on Tuesday, 18 August 2009.

Folks We Love with Amy Tangerine
Tell us a little bit about your journey and how you've come to arrive here.
I was working as a fashion stylist in Atlanta, GA after college and wanted a way to keep warm while still being able to pin the clothing on the models, so I learned to crocheted and began making arm warmers. Stores started ordering them and I got some press in WWD and Lucky Magazine. In the Spring, I was asked what I would make next, so I decided to hand embroider flowers on ribbed tanks. After Cindy Crawford was photographed wearing one in Glamour Magazine, I thought maybe this was a business. All of the items in the first collection were stitched by hand. We upcycled men's tee shirts into women's silhouettes. It was really cool to be able to think of an idea, create it with some stitching and then see someone wearing it with a smile. I was offered a job with a company that put mine under their umbrella and relocated to Los Angeles. After being here for just a week, I was let go. It was a big turning point in my life, but it gave me the opportunity to take a step back and evaluate what I was going to do next. I freelanced and then through some awesome contacts started my tee shirt line back up again. We sold to over 250 boutiques and department stores and operated out of a little live/work loft in Santa Monica. In 2007, I discovered scrapbooking. I think my soul had been searching for something because I was feeling consumed by my small business and a shift in the economy. I realized that although I loved a lot of what I was doing, I wasn't making enough time to be creative just for the sake of it. I finally took the time to walk into a scrapbook store I had been driving by for so long, took one class and got immediately hooked. I loved every aspect of it - not just the supplies and photos - the bonding of women sharing their stories and spending time on a hobby that they loved. Plus they were so welcoming and warm. Scrapbooking has taken me all over the world, as I've had the opportunity to teach workshops on every continent (except for Antarctica). I love the creative community and being able to share on various channels like my blog, YouTube and Instagram.
Who's in your family? Ages? Names?
My husband JC and I did things a bit unconventionally. We met on April Fools' Day 2009 and moved in together after 5 months. We found out we were pregnant in 2013, bought a house, had our son Jack, and then got engaged. We threw a surprise wedding for our family December 26, 2017. Jack was the ring bearer. He's 4.5
How did you choose your kids names?
Jack was named after his grandfathers. JC's dad is named John, so we chose that for his first name, but knew we would always call him Jack. His middle name is Archibald, named after my dad, Archie.
Culver City, CA
Founder & Creative Director, Amy Tangerine
How did "Craft a Life You Love" come to be?
It was a passion project that I had wanted to do for a long time. A couple of my friends had self-published and had a great experience, so it was awesome being able to get their advice on the process. I met with an editor who told me that I would never write a book until I wrote a bad first draft, and after I did that, I could just hand it over to her. I hired her as my editor, a book layout designer for the interior pages, and a cover designer. It was super helpful for me to have an expert lay out the flow of the book. I just wanted the book to inspire enough people to hopefully recoup the costs and what I put into it, but the return was so much more than I could have ever dreamed up. I released it on Amazon in January 2017, and I received a couple emails from publishers offering to publish it. I got an amazing literary agent who put the book up for auction, and a couple months after release day, it was picked up by Abrams. I worked on another section for the book, called Crafting Your Passions. The revised and expanded edition is out and available now! I wanted to be sure there was value in it if people already had the first one. I'm a big believer in putting things out into the Universe just for the sake of it. The book experience shows the value of pursuing your dreams, even if you have no idea what the outcome will be. This has definitely surpassed my expectations.
What is your favorite part of your job?
It feels weird to say this, but I really feel like the luckiest person to be able to do what I love on a daily basis. Sure, I have bad days just like everyone else, but I get to be creative and find different ways to express it and share it with others. One of the most rewarding things is seeing what people do with stationery and scrapbooking supplies I have designed. When someone tells me that I have inspired them in some way, it's one of the best feelings ever.
What advice do you have for working mothers?
The sooner you can be free of guilt, the better. I joke that I never felt guilty before I became a mom, but I think it's true. Learning to navigate and be present, knowing that I am happiest as a provider for my family, is a work in progress. It's ok to give yourself grace and take it all in stride.
Do you have any tips when it comes to balance?
I actually have a new theory on balance. I'm a Libra and the concept of balance is something I have focused on my entire life. At different points I have definitely felt like I achieved a state of balance, but it wouldn't necessarily last and outside circumstances would throw it all off. Well, I recently decided to basically say F balance, it's more about Harmony. I came up with an acronym for it, which has been my guiding principle through struggles and times when my anxiety is at a high.
The basics of what I am calling the Harmony Principle:
Happiness - Head in this direction, what will make you happy?
Align with your values
Redirect if necessary - it's ok to change course
Money - know your worth
Original - there's only one you, surround yourself with authentic and original people
No - know when to say, "no thank you"
You - It's all up to you. You have the power within you to craft a life you love
What is your favorite book?
I have to pick just one?! The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion was amazing. I just finished The Room on Rue Amelie, written by my friend Kristin Harmel (a mama too!) and just loved it. I am also a huge fan of Kevin Kwan's books - most recently Rich People Problems.
How do you unwind?
By doing something creative or fulfilling at that moment. Sometimes it will be reading a magazine or a book, or just doing some journaling. Right now I am obsessed with making traveler's notebooks and documenting the day in my Hobonichi. I also love playing with watercolors.
Tell us some of your most loved ways to spend the day with your clan?
It's great when we all get up early enough for a little breakfast at home, then a hike in Temescal Canyon. Usually we will get lunch somewhere after. The afternoon would ideally be spent at home with Jack playing games or working on art projects or Legos. JC is a great cook, so he'd make dinner and we might have some friends over and hang out in the backyard.
What are some silly/fun things that the kids do or say?
I put them into my calendar on my phone in hopes I will transfer them into a little journal I have for Jack's sayings. Here are some recent entries:
His favorite song to dance to for a while has been Can't Stop the Feeling, and he randomly said one day while not listening to the song, "But how does sunshine get in my pocket?"
"I don't have back teeth, I only have side teeth and front teeth."
My stomach growled and Jack said, "sometimes tummies make that sound because they're hungry… and sometimes they make this sound when they are full…. BURP!"
What is something you wish you had known before having kids?
The importance of pressing the pause button when you can.
Where do your passions lie?
In making things and making things happen.

Oh! You have been working hard! I certainly can appreciate it. Exciting to look forward to the potential harvest, isn't it? Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Thanks - high praise from someone who has been really hard at work herself! It's been truly inspiring watching your raised beds and fenced in areas developing on Society Garlic.ReplyDelete
Hey - I bought a couple of teensy plumbagos for the front which I think of as my Purple Iris plants. I'll share a photo once they get established (if the deer don't eat them...)
what a gorgeous garden you have! that potato plant looks really glamorous in that lampshade container.ReplyDelete
Thanks, bee! It was high time to turn around that stereotype of folks who drink too much vodka and end up wearing a lampshade hat. This time the potato gets the shade for a topper.ReplyDelete
I'll let you know if this works. If not, I am still watching for a sprouty potato and I have a cardboard box all ready.
there's no reason why it shouldn't. potatoes love well drained soil. this will actually work better than a cardboard box because the drainage is better.ReplyDelete
wonderful garden. thanks for the sweet email.
Thanks, Jai. WIth your encouragement I am now scouting around my house for more potential potato shades. What an interesting look for a garden bed this might be...ReplyDelete

My Skincare Routine/
You asked for it, so here it is! My current daily skincare routine. Now I do want to note that I love collecting, sampling, and playing with skincare and beauty stuff (seriously, it's always been a hobby), so if it seems like there's a lot here, that's why.
I tried to keep things down to basic, every day products, but also included some of the products I use occasionally or to treat a specific issue. (And the pic above is the actual shelf of everything in my toolbox. #shelfie)
So, let's get into it!
I have been using the oil cleansing method for years now, and loving it. (Actually, I use oils for the majority of my skincare, and it has actually normalized my oily skin, instead of making it more oily).
My current favorite oil cleanser is this one from Juice Beauty. (I also used this "paleo friendly" oil cleanser from FATCO for many years and still love it, if you wanted another recommendation). I use about one pump onto my dry hands and then rub it on my dry face, and then take my trusty Clarisonic to continue to massage it in.
Then I use a warm, damp washcloth to wipe it off, and voila! Clean, happy skin.
I follow up with the Age Defy Serum from Juice Beauty, and put a few drops all over my face, neck and chest, and let that dry and soak in as much as I can.
Then I go in with my daily moisturizer: The Ultimate Miracle Worker from Philosophy. It keeps my face hydrated all day without being greasy, it has SPF and helps fight against sun damage and wrinkles.
If it's a normal day and I don't have much makeup on at the end of the day, I start my nighttime routine the same way: by pumping the Juice Beauty Cleansing Oil onto my dry hands and rubbing it all over my (dry) face. Sometimes I use the Clarisonic again at night, but usually just go right in with a warm washcloth to wipe the oil off and cleanse. (If I am wearing a full face of makeup, I use a makeup removing towelette all over, first, then cleanse).
About once or twice a week I will use an exfoliator, and I actually combine it with my oil cleanser and put it right onto dry skin as well. I have been loving this exfoliator from Murad.
If I trained that day, I will give my skin a once (or twice) over of this alcohol free toner, on a cotton pad, to just be sure the sweat and grime is off. I'll remove any lingering eye makeup with a quick swipe of the makeup remover towelettes around the eye area, and then start going in with the lotions and potions!
I start with my daily dose of this mandelic acid serum from Vivant Skincare, which I have found has completely stopped any sort of breakouts. I might get a rogue pimple here or there (usually when I'm PMS'ing, TYSM), but it has had a big impact on the regular little breakouts I used to get.
Then I apply my nighttime moisturizer, which I will be honest, I usually switch up. I have 2 or 3 that I alternate between, depending on how my skin is feeling and looking, and what I feel it needs.
This Biossance squalane and vitamin C oil is my standard go to. I'll be honest I just love how glowy my skin looks after putting an oil treatment on it!
I have also used and loved a similar oil, developed by Real Food Liz: the Primal Life Organics C-Ex Vitamin C Oil. This is a high octane vitamin c oil, and is another "paleo friendly" option.
Some nights, when I'm feeling fancy af, I take out the nice stuff and hydrate my skin like it's never been hydrated before. This was actually a gift, but it's seriously amazing and I will be repurchasing it when I run out! (And it lasts forever, because you only need the tinest amount): The Edward Bess Black Sea cream.
I used to fear major hydration because I thought it would only clog my pores and/or make my skin more oily, but hydration is now the name of my game, especially now that I'm in my 30s. (Another favorite ultra hydrating nighttime moisturizer is this one from FATCO)
For those times I have a pimple, dull skin, or dealing with scarring/discoloration (from said pimple), these are the things I reach for to get my skin back in tip top condition in no time.
My hands down, all time favorite, most effective and powerful zit killer is Tea Tree Oil. But I will be sure to tell you: please do your own research on this and test it out, carefully. Some people do not react well to this oil, and even those who tolerate it can be burned by it -- it's potent af. So I moisten the end of a Q-tip with water, then dip it into the oil to dilute it. Then I dab it right onto the zit, and sleep with it on.
If I am dealing with the aftermath of a zit and have some scarring or discoloration, nothin makes that shit go away faster than Murad's Rapid Age Spot Lightening Serum. (I put this on after the Vivant serum and before moisture).
If things are just feeling dull, or if it's been a while, I go in with the Dr. Gross Alpha Beta Peel pads and this stuff is amazing. It can sting, yes, but my skin instantly looks fresh, glowing, radiant, and smooth. Generally I try to use these every other night, but sometimes it's more like once a week or when I remember. But these are AWESOME.
And with about the same regularity as above, I use this Neck Lifting Cream from Juice Beauty- I just rub it all over my neck and chest and actually really do feel like it works. But the bonus is it kind of just feels nice.
Pro tip: no matter what lotions and potions you're putting on your face, always bring it down your neck and even your chest if you can, and rub any excess onto the back of your hands.
That's it! I still plan on doing a video for you guys at some point: maybe some more info on oil cleansing, or maybe talking about my favorite masks? What do you want to know more about?
And don't forget to check out my monthly Favorites series where I always share any other products I'm currently trying and loving!
And of course I always have links to ALL my favorite stuff, from books to supplements to kitchen goods & more in my SHOP page.
What are YOU currently using and loving?! I always love to try new things so let me know what you're into these days!
Note: this blog post may contain affiliate links, which help me run my blog.
