April 17, 2012 02:37 ET
LEUVEN, BELGIUM and MADRID, SPAIN--(Marketwire - Apr 17, 2012) - TiGenix (EURONEXT BRUSSELS: TIG) announced today that upon review of the safety data of the first three patients of the third cohort of the company's Phase IIa clinical trial in rheumatoid arthritis (Cx611) it has received the go-ahead from the independent Safety Monitoring Board to recruit and dose the remaining patients of this cohort. The Phase IIa trial is based on a three-step dose-finding protocol, where each step starts with a safety review of the first three patients after 40 days of dosing.
"With this last step, we have reached a key milestone in our Phase IIa trial in RA," said Eduardo Bravo, CEO of TiGenix. "The fact that the highest dose has proven safe is of major importance. In RA it ensures that we will not be held back by any dose-limiting factors and we will be able to move forward with the optimal treatment dose. But of almost equal importance is that, if required, we can expand the dosing range in other indications that we are exploring as well. With 6 months of follow-up, the current RA trial in 53 patients is expected to report meaningful results in H1 2013."
About Cx611 for rheumatoid arthritis
Cx611 is a suspension of expanded allogeneic adult stem cell product derived from human adipose (fat) tissue (expanded Adipose derived Stem Cells or 'eASCs') that is delivered through intra-venous injection for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The objective of the Phase IIa trial is to determine safety, feasibility, tolerance, and optimal dosing. This multicentre, placebo-controlled study will involve 53 patients, divided in 3 cohorts with different dosing regimens. There are more than 20 centres open and the company expects the final results to be available in the first half of 2013.

Music Box vol 3 is too hot
There is something quite special about Dj Terence, as special as claiming one of SA's prestigious music awards and still being one of the least recognised faces on the house music scene. Music Box vol 2 was voted the best complitation for the Metro FM awards. The public definately knew a good thing when they heard it.
His compilations are smooth and always the best soundtrack for an awesome music trip. With Music Box vol 3 his shown that his skills haven't faded - he is definately not a one hit wonder...
All I can do is keep his cd on constant replay.
Purchase the cd from somusic.co.za

Minneapolis firefighters have found a second body in the ruins of the three story apartment building which exploded and then burned on New Year's Day. In addition to the two dead, 14 people were wounded in the explosion. With the discovery of the second fatality, officials believe that all victims have been located.
As of Friday, nine people remained in the hospital. Three of them are listed in critical condition.
According to Minneapolis fire officials, the explosion was reported at approximately 8:15 a.m. on Wednesday. A massive fire engulfed the 10-unit apartment building/grocery store within minutes. When paramedics arrived at the scene, they discovered many victims on the ground in the below-zero temperatures, a good portion of which had injuries that would occur if one jumped or fell from several stories up.
Fire investigators believe that the explosion could have been caused by natural gas, basing their opinion on the debris field and on reports by witnesses that the odor of natural gas was present before the explosion. They caution, however, that the exact reason for the explosion may never be found. At this point, they believe that the fire started on one of the upper two levels of the building.
Spokesperson Becca Virden of CenterPoint Energy reports that their system showed no leaks and that they had not received any reports of an odor before the explosion. The building had last been expected in 2012. No outstanding violations were reported.
The building is located on Cedar Avenue in the center of a large Somali community that lies close to downtown Minneapolis and is adjacent to a mosque. Although the mosque did sustain smoke and water damage, the FBI reports no evidence that the explosion and fire were in any way related to terrorism.
As firefighters in Minneapolis continued their search for the second missing victim in the ruins of the exploded apartment building, survivors spoke out this week, relating their experiences after the explosion. One man jumped two stories to the ground in only his underwear. He reportedly lay on the frozen ground for 20 minutes before receiving medical care for his injured leg.
Another resident reports being able to grab some clothes on his way out of his apartment, but finding the stairs engulfed in flames. Returning to his apartment, he ran to the window where a police officer urged him to jump the two stories to the ground. He broke both of his legs and hurt his back in the fall. Another jumper who also broke his leg suffered from frostbite from lying on the frozen terrain.
As of Friday one of the dead has been identified by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner. The body of Ahmed Farah Ali, 57, who lived in the apartment building, was found on Thursday. Ali was married and had four children from prior marriages. He was well-known in the Cedar-Riverside community.
Officials reported two missing people before finding Ali's body in the rubble of the building on Thursday. In addition, one victim currently being treated at the hospital remains unidentified. According to the ex-wife of Ali, their son and a visiting friend remain missing. It remains to be seen whether her son and the family friend represent the second victim and the hospitalized person. Personal documents of both have been delivered to the police to aid in possible identification.
After finding the second body in the apartment building ruins, Minneapolis firefighters began the demolition of the structure, whose roof and floors collapsed in the explosion. As of 2:00 p.m. on Friday, the building had been demolished. The Red Cross and the Salvation Army are providing assistance to victims of the tragedy.

Affinity Spectre cricket bat review
The Affinity spectre cricket bat is something special. Its not your run of the mill mass produced off the shelf cricket bat. Its a cricket bat that was designed and hand crafted entirely in England. Its years of dreaming, sanding, polishing, pressing and then starting over and doing it all again till its right. The Affinity Spectre is not "just " a cricket bat. Its a professional grade, performance guaranteed, impressive cricket bat which somehow outclasses even the big boys who have been doing this for hundreds of years.
Now that ive used the spectre cricket bat in the nets i can attest to a few things.
A: Even though its 2.13 i would give it a pickup index of -2…What that means is that it feels 2oz lighter than it is on the scale. Only they know how they managed to do that as its not a simple undertaking.
B: The bat pings very very low down on the blade. Part of the reason for this is the unique design which extends the spine and exaggerates it all the way to the toe. It also is partially due to literally hand selection timber that has the right qualities.
Another thing i love about the bat is that it only has 30mm edges. In a world that is obsessed with edge size over things like balance, performance, pick up and playability its refreshing to see someone going against the mainstream way of thinking and rather producing something that works, rather than what people think they want.
Each Affinity cleft is examined, weighed & hand picked to be a certain type of cricket bat. Its not just a stack of clefts run down the production line and lets hope and pray some decent bats come out at the end of the day. You can be assured that your money is well spent on a top quality cricket bat and performance and satisfaction is guaranteed. Not many brands out there will guarantee that.
You can learn more about Affinity cricket bats at www.affinitycricket.co.uk
Keep up to date with them on twitter @affinitycricket and also on facebook.com/affinitycricket

Sprucing Things Up Around HereHelloVanny might have played a little part in sprucing up my digs. Okay, she played a BIG part, as in I told her what I liked and she designed this whole thing for me!
Vanessa is a talented blogger, baker and more recently blog designer. She and her boyfriend Aaron tag-teamed this project (Vanessa doing the design and Aaron coding the whole thing) and I could not be more happy with the results. Vanny (as I affectionately refer to her as) has recently made a bold move and decided to switch careers to do web design. Well she's not off to a bad start if you ask me!
In honor of my almost-year blogging anniversary, I thought I would do a little survey for Roofresh. I want your help in deciding what posts will be reoccurring posts on the blog. Basically, what do you like? It is completely anonymous, so please be nice. ;)
I will close the survey after one week so that I can add some fun new features to my blog, pointing you in the direction of the reoccurring posts. I realized that I had quite a few different post-series taking place and it had become very cumbersome to try and keep up with them all on a weekly basis. My hope with this survey is to narrow in on what people really want to read about and spend more quality time on those posts.
I'm so excited for the direction my blog is heading and so appreciative of everyone who has read it over the past year! I love the new design and I think it's a perfect reflection of my (and Jim's) personality. Thank you so much Vanessa and Aaron!

The church service in the Laurelbrook Seventh-day Adventist Church on January 6, 2018 began with Angela Volpe leading the congregation in singing one verse of "Marvelous Grace". Bubba Herra welcomed everyone and made a few announcements. There will be potluck at Jacqueline Miller's home today. Today at 5:00 there will vespers in the auditorium.
Ricardo Reid announced that the church will be joining the world church's 10 Days of Prayer, starting this Wednesday evening with seven staff families opening their homes for these meetings. There will be a list of these families placed in your box.
Angela Volpe led the congregation in singing one stanza of "Great Is Thy Faithfulness". Mark Kent played an introit. The congregation had a silent invocation. The congregation then sang "To God Be the Glory", accompanied by Leilani (sophomore) on the piano (who accompanied part of the rest of the service). Bubba Herra then had the Morning Prayer; the congregation sang "Hear Our Prayer".
Benny (9th grader) then called for the offering. Eric (junior) and Daryll Ellis then collected the morning offerings; the loose offering went to the local church budget. The congregation sang the doxology, and Ricardo Reid prayed for the offering.
Ricardo Reid then announced that the program would be a special one to start the New Year with reading of parts of Revelation along with music selections to encourage everyone for 2018. Ricardo did the speaking parts.
Ricardo Reid then made an altar call and had the closing prayer.
Personnel Other Than Students:
Angela Volpe – Mark Kent's fiancé
Bubba Herra – academy boys' dean / men's work coordinator
Daryll Ellis – works for nearby Majestic Stone Company /
Mark Kent – Laurelbrook IT person
Ricardo Reid – assistant boys dean / head local church elder
Following are some notes on the program:
1. Revelation 1:3 "Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand."
2. God has promised a blessing to each of us if we hear and do the Word of God.
3. John the Revelator was on the Isle of Patmos, sent there due to his gospel preaching. Yet he was in communion with God through His Spirit. God showed John who was the Leader of the church and the King of this world.
4. Revelation 1:9-11 "9 ¶ I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea."
5. The seven churches John sees represent time periods of world history. The first part of Revelation shows what has been fulfilled; the later part shows the future.
6. In Revelation 5, the Lamb comes into the Sanctuary to receive the Book.
7. Revelation 4:8-11 "8 ¶ And the four beasts had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. 9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
8. As heaven is preparing for Christ's coronation, heaven is praising God.
9. [The congregation sang "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise"]
10. Angels are busy spirits working for the mission of the church. Heaven is filled is positive praises to God.
11. Satan wants us to focus on the problems in the church and his temptations.
12. We must honor God with our earthly lives in 2018.
13. The crowning of Christ is accompanied by the humiliation and accord of the saints on earth. The Spirit comes into our lives to inspire us to do the mission that Christ wants us to do.
14. Revelation 5:8-14 "8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four [and] twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever."
15. [The congregation sang "Worthy, Worthy Is the Lamb"]
16. [The congregation was invited to share a testimony or word of praise. Paul Frechette shared that he went through the checkout and then found a group of workers interested in the tracts he was passing out. Barbara Kitson shared that she was really blessed by people who come in to pray with her. Ginny Arce shared that 2017 was working with her this year. Their dog's puppies came at the beginning of the Sabbath last night]
17. Trials are God's blessings to make us better persons.
18. John saw God for Himself. God doesn't prevent you from knowing Him. It is up to you to make the contact.
19. [Pedro Arce shared how thankful the Mexican people were for what the group did for them. Jacqueline Miller shared that she was so grateful that people endured the cultural shock to come to Laurelbrook. Another person shared that her money gifts were used to help the homeless – very inspiring. Another shared that 2017 was a year of change for him and his family. Don't wait to give your heart to the Lord]
20. Revelation 7:10-12 "10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen."
21. [The congregation then sang "All Creatures of Our God and King"]
22. Rome dumped a load of discouragement on John, but John then saw a mountain with steps bringing him higher and higher and nearer to God. Every life experience can be that way.
23. Revelation 11:15-18 "15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth."
24. [The congregation then sang "Crown Him With Many Crowns"]
25. Jesus is coming soon. Our purpose is to preach the gospel message to this generation, but we need to be converted and have a clearer vision of Him.
26. [The congregation sang "Lead On, O King Eternal"]

Hello my crafty friends! After taking a great week off with my kiddos to enjoy spring break, I am back! We had such a great week and reality hit a little hard this morning as the alarm rang out this morning! Only 8 more weeks of school and then we can enjoy the summer! We can't wait!
On to my card. I used a vellum strip with my wishing you well sentiment. I added baker's twine and place it on top of a dark chocolate bitty dots on a Kraft base. I added a fillable frames tag and the image from Daily Designs and the stripes from Asian Fusion. Enjoy!

Yep, it's been over a year since I've posted! 2016 has been a little crazy for me (and, well, I guess for a lot of people. Is it over yet?). Another international move (still in the PNW, thankfully! Hello, Portland, OR!), and a BIG house renovation project (maybe the subject for another blog altogether) underway, but I'm finally about ready to place some serious focus back on my business. I've been steadily plugging away at made-to-order pieces, but haven't had much time for my one-of-a-kind, ready-to-ship, more creative work. I'm really looking forward to getting back to that in the new year. And photography and blogging again. My creative soul misses it all quite deeply!
Anyway! It's (past) time for my annual Holiday Order Deadline post! The great thing about being back stateside is that shipping to almost all locations is now much faster than it was when I was shipping from Canada. So you (especially those of you in the US) have a little more time to place orders and still get them before Christmas. Keep in mind that I have both made-to-order (most items in my shop at the moment) and ready to ship (just a few) items in my shop, so please consult my handy little chart here to determine the latest possible date you can order for guaranteed Christmas delivery:
In the meantime, I'll be elbow deep in house paint and sawdust (in addition to my usual silver and gold dust!), but will do my best to stay a little more connected! Happy Holidays! xo

Currently, in India, most of the angels invest in any silly e-commerce biz, but not offbeat visionary companies, because
they play only the valuation game. VCs in India have been putting their(not their, but others'/LP's) money in e-com, based on just one unproven assumption that online users will touch 500 million and external investors will continue to pour in the money.
One blind man leading crowd of blind ?
There is a lot of innovation in India; however, at present, the VC/funding system (most of them funds from US ) is not encouraging innovation but going after , safe, copycat businesses.
Many investors dream of investing early in a future google. But how many of them have the vision, guts and smarts to spot one ? Rewards are proportionate to risk.
When angel investors and VCs use Private Equity models for valuation, and yet want to land grab equity, you know they are going out of business in future as competition comes in. Days are numbered for this species of money lenders.
Any monkey can copy what others are doing. You become great , gain respect only when you do the original that the crowd misses and succeed. Hope to see change in future in this area.

Packaging of your goods is necessary to avoid any wear and tear. Often you buy…
Why does it matter what your product packaging looks like? Is it really so important that you get the packaging just right? Why can't you just slap any old label on your product and sell it like that? The truth is that your label and packaging appearance is almost more important than the product itself. Here are five reasons why:
1) It Makes You Stand Out
If wine was sold in the same bottles with the same labels and packages, how would you know the difference between the cheap and the expensive, high quality vintages? If all baseball teams wore the same logo, how would you know who to root for? Your packaging is what makes you unique, and thus allows customers to identify YOUR products from among the many, many others on the market. The better and more unique the packaging, the more you stand out from the crowd!
2) It Protects Your Product
Your packaging isn't just there to make your product look good, but it also helps to protect your product from damage. Wine bottles are made out of glass to ensure the wine inside is protected, and pricey tablets gifts are packaged in boxes to reduce the risk of damage. Your product should be packaged in such a way that it is protected from all wear and tear. The packaging should hold up to handling and shipping, and should ensure the safety of whatever is contained inside.
3) It Provides Information
When you shop at the supermarket, how do you choose which can of soup to buy? Do you open each tin and taste them to see what is inside? No! You simply read the label, which tells you about the contents of the can. The packaging should provide information on the product, as that will allow your customers to find out as much as possible about your product without having to open the packaging.
4) It Is An Attraction
Imagine walking down a supermarket aisle, and all the shelves are stocked with dull, boring packages of nondescript colors. How likely are you to buy something like that? Chances are, not very likely! Packaging should attract the eye and get the customer interested on the contents of the package. The color scheme, logo, font, and layout of the package is vital to the success of the product.
5) It Facilitates An Informed Decision
Customers in this day and age want to know exactly what's in the product, where it comes from, and more. They want to make educated, informed decisions about the products they are buying. Your packaging tells your customers everything they need to know about buying your products. Your wine bottle label will tell customers about the vintage, the origin, the year, and more. The more information provided, the easier it is for the customer to make an informed decision.
These five reasons will help you understand why you need the best label design San Francisco designers can offer you. The more attractive your design, the higher the chance that your quality product will succeed!

Hi there,
I recently needed to map several fields from one table to another. May be I'm a little bit lazy, so I used a very simple but useful workaround to do this job with only one Mapping Load.
Hope it helps.
As always, comments are welcome.

Zoe: Ears something else to think about
Really long day today but the good outweighed the bad. We went to clinic at GOSH where we discussed how good Sonny's PET scan was and began reducing his steroids to allow the DLI to keep working. Then Sonny had a hearing test which wasn't so good. We've been worried about his hearing for a few weeks but now we're at home we've noticed its becoming a bit of a problem for him and the test confirmed this. We were warned that the chemo might do this but all his hearing tests during chemo were normal so this may have happened after the seizure or because of the huge amounts of antibiotics hes just had or the DLI doing strange as well as magical things. We'll find out more soon as the doctor only had his results to look at and needs to spend a bit of time going through his medical history before jumping to any conclusions but basically it could get better, it could get worse or it could stay the same - that's all the boxes ticked then doc... Luckily, we got home in time to see Arsenal finally thrash Leeds.

I never thought I'd be involved in ministry to any degree. I grew up in a big church and *everyone else* did the work. Being at a smaller church has been a continual blessing in my spiritual life and has been pertinent to my growth. I've realized that all Christians are called to ministry...not just the Pastor and the leaders. I am constantly reminded that change doesn't begin or end with the words I say or what I do. Sometimes I feel like I can talk and talk until my voice gives out and it won't change anything. And I'm right.
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."- John 15:5
Lord, keep my spirit humble and my lips proclaiming your goodness.

The World Wide Web of Licensing Map Data
There are two primary companies that create street map data: NAVTEQ and TeleAtlas. The traditional focus of both of these companies has been in-car navigation. However, more recently, both companies have liberally licensed their data to web mapping portals like Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, MapQuest/AOL, etc. If you go to any of those sites and look at the bottom of the maps, there almost always will be a copyright attribution to one or the other of these companies.
What's most interesting today, however, is that these web portals are turning around and making the street maps available to any public web site (not private ones, like MLS systems) for free. In other words, when NAVTEQ or TeleAtlas licenses their data to Google, they also effectively are licensing it to all of Google's customers and the web sites they power, such as Trulia, RE/MAX, etc., for free. (Well, actually, RE/MAX, through eNeighorhoods, is listed as an enterprise customer for Google, so maybe they are paying, but that would be strange since Google's API is free for public sites like RE/MAX's.) Anyway, I can hardly imagine what Google must have to pay NAVTEQ and TeleAtlas for this nearly unlimited extension to their license.
This story gets even more interesting now with devices like the iPhone or the Treo, which have the Google maps application installed, which comes awfully close to a navigation system. The only thing missing is making the Google maps application location aware, which can't be far aware given that most of the phones have GPSs built in for 911 emergency purposes. Once Google maps is location aware, haven't they completely cannibalized the traditional space of NAVTEQ and TeleAtlas?
The license agreements these companies have with Google, Yahoo!, etc., undoubtedly already prevent Google from using the map data for location aware directions, and these agreements are likely to get even stricter for NAVTEQ now that Nokia has purchased them. This acquisition may not have hit the radar of everyone in the real estate business yet, but, trust me, this one is going to have a big impact on real estate practitioners, which can really benefit from wireless systems, including mapping.
Also, what will Nokia's purchase do to NAVTEQ's long-term relationship with Google and their public API? Will Google be compelled to purchase TeleAtlas to protect themselves? Undoubtedly a good part of NAVTEQ's revenue was in their deal with Google, which had to pay a lot of money to NAVTEQ, but Nokia may be more inclined to take a different direction than the free APIs allow. All I can say is that I'm glad we aren't relying on any free API's for our products, because I'd hate to be betting my business on their long-term continued availability when "Google may modify the Terms of Use at any time with or without notice".
Update: Reading O'Reilly's post about this same topic, I'm reminded that TeleAtlas was bought by Tom-Tom, another hardware manufacturer (GPS instead of phones). (The NAVTEQ deal caught my attention more, because we license NAVTEQ data for use in our MLS software.) Wow, that the two primary sources of street mapping data are now owned by companies with interests in conflict with Google and others interested in local search bodes for some very interesting negotiations down the road. The GPS and web world are being smashed (not just mashed) together, and the street map data stands between.
13 Responses to "The World Wide Web of Licensing Map Data"
That last sentence about terms of use is why you must purchase the Enterprise license if you are going to rely on it for a major site like remax.com. Google reserves the right to restrict hits per day (and they do), and to add advertising at any time (I'm only aware of one site where they are testing the waters with this). Luckily, the fierce holy war that Google and MS are fighting now for hearts and minds of developers has driven the price of unlimited map traffic down way below their quoted rates.
Google's stated mission is to organize all the world's information. Mapping is an absolutely critical piece of information. Having mapping data controlled by only two major entities, and worse two new owners, I would imagine is an untenable situation for them. Seems like they've got to make a move soon.
What moves are left? Perhaps they'll buy Nokia? 😉 Seriously, it seems like they fell asleep on this one or the TeleAtlas deal. $6 billion is a lot of money but not for Google. I don't hold out a lot of hope that OpenStreetMap will reach the level of completeness or accuracy of NAVTEQ or TA any time soon. 🙂
6 billion!? What the hell are we doing???
Dan, I'm going to buy a compass, you get some butcher paper and a lot of pencils so we can get our new mapping business started.
Cartographers of the world unite!
Hehe, no doubt! I'll throw in a ruler if you bring me along for the ride.
So this is where you guys hang out.
According, to the Seattle Times, Nokia is saying Navteq would still support its existing customers as before. I think Nokia would make more money & friends if it didn't piss off Navteq's biggest customers, so I'm tempted to take Nokia at it's word.
MS Virtual Earth gets it's data (both road & imagery) from at least 10 different sources (Navteq, NASA, Harris Corp, USGS, Earthstar Geographics, Pictometry, EarthData, Getmapping, Blom, MapData Sciences, and Zenrin to name the ones I know about), so I suspect it would not be mortal blow even if Navteq did go private with it's data.
Besides, what's to prevent MS (or Google) from starting a Navteq / TeleAtlas competitor? Or lobbying the US govt from blocking the Nokia/Navteq merger? Or lobbying the US govt to increase the USGS / US Census TIGER budget to the point where it's data is competitive with commercial efforts?
I think they both have $10+ billion in cash, so it's not like they couldn't afford to go to war with Nokia/Navteq, if it came to that. Either way, it'll be very interesting to see how this story plays out.
Mr Troup!
No wonder you're so smart, you read Mike's blog!
: )
Question – where is Rand McNally when everyone is talking about mapping? Just ten years ago, these guys were the top company. We used them and their product and service were great. I think they are a private, midwest company. Seems like they have all the data – at least US data – and are just behind the tech curve. That would be perfect for Google, unless the lack of international data is a deal killer for them.
Also MapQuest. These guys started it all (I believe), seem to have all the data, but again have been left behind technology-wise. Seeing the recent acquisitions, these guys are probably flying between Seattle and Mountain View with their hands out.
I know MapQuest uses both NAVTEQ and TA data, they don't generate their own. I'm not sure about Rand McNally.
Dan, I believe Google uses DeCarta DDS as it's rendering engine and buys the map data from many different vendors (Navteq, Zenrin, Europa Technologies, etc). I don't think Rand McNally offers them anything that they need or don't already have.
Mapquest is owned by AOL, so I think they are officially a part of the living dead at this point (like Netscape).
I can add that I know Google's biggest expense Re: mapping is navigation; they pay NAVTEQ on a per-route basis, and it's not cheap.
Greg, if you want to get in on the ground floor, go to China. They're building new roads like crazy but apparently no one's making maps.

Jose Mourinho returns to his old stomping ground on Monday night.
The Man United manager, who had two spells at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea boss, will be looking for revenge following his side's 4-0 humbling in the Premier League in October.
But he will know better than anyone that the Red Devils will have to be at their best if they are going to progress to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
The Portuguese has a real problem in attack going into the fixture, with star man Zlatan Ibrahimovic suspended and injuries and illnesses ruling out everyone else.
It is yet unclear how Mourinho's side will line-up for the quarter-final, but one thing that is certain will be the Portuguese's desire to beat his former club.
In the above video we look back on some of the key things Mourinho has said prior to facing Chelsea as an away boss - and what it says about his relationship with the club.
Mourinho first came up against Chelsea three years after he was sacked, as Inter Milan manager in 2010.
Ahead of the game he acknowledged the fact he knows the team well, but true to his mysterious form, suggested that this could in fact make his job more difficult.
After Inter's 2-1 victory in the Champions League, he made his first return to Stamford Bridge and recorded a 1-0 win.
Before the second leg he confidently predicted the fans would be happy to see him.
While after it he revealed he felt sorry for the Chelsea supporters, as well as some of their players, suggesting he still had a lot of love for his former side.
In 2012 his Real Madrid side came close to facing the Blues in the Champions League final. Speaking about the club he admitted "they mean a lot to my life."
After his second spell in charge, and subsequent sacking, Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge in October and again spoke about his relationship with the club.
He said that he would never say a bad word about a former team, but, perhaps aware of managing in the same country, left personal comments out of the press conference.
This appeared to be the case after the game as well, as despite a warm reception from the Chelsea fans, Mourinho dismissed it in his post-match comments.
In all it finally seems that after two sackings and a humbling 4-0 defeat that his love has faded, and if anything he is perhaps more motivated to get a result.

All Hail the Mighty Quinn
Amid much hoopla and fanfare, Brady Quinn is officially a Cleveland Brown now.
(Crickets chirping.)
Oh, that's right – I, along with the rest of the city and Browns Backers nationwide, are supposed to hail Mr. Quinn as the next coming of, well, Touchdown Jesus himself.
Excuse me for my indifference. It's just that we've heard this same old song and dance with the Browns and their quarterbacks since the Bernie Kosar era. And how many of those quarterbacks have panned out or played anywhere close to expectations?
(Go ahead and check. I'll wait. I've got nothing but time.)
Did you find any? Tim Couch or Kelly Holcomb? Trent Dilfer or Jeff Garcia? Charlie Frye?
All of those quarterbacks were supposed to be the cornerstone of the franchise (Couch), or the emerging NFL-ready starter (Holcomb), the cagey veteran to put us over the top (Dilfer/Garcia), or the gritty hometown hero come to turn around the organization's fortunes (you get the point).
Now we've got Quinn, who only cost us a first-round pick next year and over $20 million (at least) in guaranteed money. Don't get me wrong – I mean, I want the guy to be a Hall of Fame quarterback and lead us to like nine championships.
But he hasn't even taken one pre-season snap yet!!!
Remember, this is the same guy who was blasted constantly in college for never being able to win, or generally perform well, in the big game. Ohio State overmatched him in the Fiesta Bowl. This past season, Michigan knocked him silly. He did put up great numbers against the service academies and a bad Michigan State team, though.
Conveniently, many of the same people who held that over his head now believe he's the savior. I will reserve judgment for when I see him in pads in the regular season.
Can Quinn turn out to be a great quarterback? Of course. There's no question about his skills. And neither Frye nor Derek Anderson have really distinguished themselves yet, according to everything out of Berea.
But honestly, it doesn't even take a great quarterback to win games (see: Grossman, Rex.) It takes a great team. That's the problem the Browns need to solve, not the contract escalators and bonuses for a rookie quarterback.

I recently had the opportunity to share a devotion about one of my favorite bible verses. For me, when I'm asked to pick a favorite bible verse this can be challenging because I have many. For the devotion, I chose Psalm 23:1, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want". (NKJV). I also like the New Living Translation version which says, "The Lord is my Shepherd; I have all that I need".
Examining this scripture took me back to when I was a student in bible college and one of my first homework assignments in my Hermeneutics (rules for interpreting the Bible) class was to do an exegesis of Psalm 23. I remember being so excited to learn how to do a scripture exegesis and being elated that it was for one of my favorite bible verses, and one of the first verses that I memorized as a child.
Some things I learned in the class when examining scripture included:
- Who wrote the text, and who is the intended readership?
- What is the context of the text, i.e. how does it fit in the author's larger thought process, purpose, or argument in the chapter and book where it resides?
- Is the choice of words, wording, or word order significant in this particular passage?
- Why was the text written (e.g. to correct, encourage, or explain, etc.)?
- When was the text written?
An examination of Psalm 23:1
King David, who wrote the psalm, was a shepherd; so he knew a lot about sheep and shepherding. He loved the metaphor of seeing God, or the Lord, as a shepherd. Shepherd defined: A shepherd leads, feeds, nurtures, comforts, corrects, and protects. What exactly is the duty of a shepherd? The answer is many. A shepherd's main duty is to move sheep safely from one place to another making sure that he leads the sheep to graze and then return them to their pen. The Shepherd is responsible for protecting the sheep from wolves and other predators and keeping the sheep safe from eating poisonous plants. By nature sheep are docile and naïve animals; they are easily panicked and fearful; are easily influenced; can be easily killed by their enemy; have very little discernment about food and water – but need fresh water constantly; they are creatures of habit; and totally dependent on their Shepherd for everything, much like us humans. (not surprising that David would use The Shepherd as a metaphor of who The Lord is to him). For me, as I make this scripture personal, I think of the Lord being my Shepherd. That he protects me, leads and guides me, corrects me and that I am totally dependent on Him for everything.
I dug deeper into the scripture and examined who exactly is "The Lord"? For me, deep diving into a study of who is the Lord gave me a deeper understanding of who I am depending on as a Shepherd. Through-out scripture, God has shown up in many ways and has been given various names, such as:
- Elohim: Creator: Genesis 1:1
- Jehovah: The covenant name of God; our Father. The proper name of God. Genesis 2:7
- El-Shaddai: My supply. My nourishment, Almighty God. Genesis 17:1
- Adonai: Master or Lord; plural. Genesis 18:3
- Jehovah-Jireh: Provider and my vision. Genesis 22:14
- Jehovah-Rophe: My healer. Exodus 15:26
- Jehovah-Nissi: My victory. Exodus 17:15
- Jehovah-Mikkadesh: My sanctifier. Leviticus 20:7, 8
- Jehovah-Tsidkenou: My righteousness. Jeremiah 23:5, 6
- Jehovah-Shalom: My peace (fullness). Judges 6:24
- Jehovah-Tsebahoth: God of Hosts. 1 Samuel 1:3
- Jehovah-Heleyon: God most High. Psalm 7:17
- Jehovah-Rohi: My Shepherd. Psalm 23:1
- Jehovah- Shamah: He is there; He is present. Ezekiel 48:35
- Jehovah-Elohay: God my God. Zechariah 14:5
- Ehyah Asher Ehyeh: Literally, I will be what I will be. (I am that I am) Exodus 3:14, God says to Moses "I Am THAT I Am" (KJV); I am WHO I am (NKJV)
- Jah (poetical language) The Lord. Expressive of eternal existence. Psalm 68:4
- Yahweh – God of the kingdom of Israel.
- Immanuel – God with Us, Matthew 1:22.
My absolute favorite name for God is I AM THAT I AM. He is exactly what I need Him to be in that moment of my need. I rest in knowing that my Shepherd, the one who I am totally dependent on is whatever I need Him to be!
Personal prayer: Thank you Lord for you are MY Shepherd. You watch over me, lead me, guide me and protect me from my enemy. But above all, you are what I need you to be!

The Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber has been extensively involved with the six of the thirteen companies that make up the High Energy User group through meetings, debates, correspondence and engagements with the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality and the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA).
For the first time, the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber will venture into supportive litigation against NERSA, in the interest of protecting companies in our region from potential closure, the loss of jobs and resulting downward spiral of the Eastern Cape economy.
As a co-applicant in the challenge against the manner in which Municipal tariffs are set by NERSA, the Chamber joins the litigation to represent its membership against increasing electricity costs, for the benefit of the broader business community.
The litigants maintain the following:
- That NERSA has no constitutional power to impose a surcharge indirectly, or on behalf of any Municipality;
- In approving the relevant electricity tariffs, NERSA did not consider relevant information, and did not apply its mind
- That business in Nelson Mandela Bay pays unjustifiably higher rates for electricity compared to business that fall outside of the Nelson Mandela Bay licenced area;
- That no concession is granted to industrial electricity users within the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality licenced area;
- That the imposition of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipal tariff did not comply with various legislative requirements, and is in violation of constitutional rights.
The future and imminent impact of the tariff increases will require:
- Industries to recover the costs through increasing product and commodity pricing, resulting in the consumer paying more (over and above their home electricity bill), increasing the general cost of living;
- Certain industries to consider foreclosure or relocation to alternate provinces
Current and projected electricity tariffs have a significant adverse economic impact on the continued survival of the manufacturing industry and commercial sector in this region.
The electricity cost to industry in Nelson Mandela Bay is amongst the highest in the world and has reached a tipping point. The more a business depends on energy, the more it will be affected. Municipal Mark-ups on the NERSA tariff of up to 50% are a catastrophic reality for industry and business. Energy Intensive Users are already at a point where 950 jobs have been lost and investment has come to a grinding halt. The increase has considerable knock-on effects on the competitiveness, viability and sustainability of businesses, and the ability of industries to retain or even create jobs.
We need an electricity price path which will ensure that South African business remains financially viable and creates investment opportunities which attract investors, rather than deter them. One of these catalysts is to provide a sustainable utility, with good quality of supply that remains affordable for all South Africans.

Ask any self-respecting group of Seinfeld fans what the show's antiheroic everyman George Costanza's worst act in the history of the show was, and it won't be long before someone mentions "The Fire", the episode where a fire breaks out at a kids' birthday party and George pushes his way through kids and even pensioners to ensure his own safety. It's heinous, despicable, and morally inexcusable... And funny, because it speaks to our own basest self-preservation instincts and the way we cannot govern how we act in a crisis.
Force Majeure is basically a remake of that episode of Seinfeld, if it had been written by Michael Haneke. Director Ruben Ostland has crafted a wonderful two hour exercise in virtue ethics based around the conceit that, upon seeing an avalanche whilst eating lunch with his family, patriarch Tomas (Johannes Kuhnke) panics, grabs his phone, and runs away, as opposed to sticking around to ensure his family's safety. After the initial shock has settled, his wife Ebba (Lisa Loven Kongsli) begins to take stock, and starts to think, "is this the man I married?", "is this the man I chose to protect me?".
Fittingly, the film has the structure of an avalanche, starting as a slow rumble, not enough to comment on, and building in momentum until before you know it, it's too big to ignore and too late to run away. The film cleverly dissects Tomas's psyche in the wake of the incident, and the effect it has on his family. By extension, the film shrewdly asks questions about what it is we expect of our protectors in life, what that role entails, and the way in which society fosters those roles upon us.
This is exemplified in what was, for me, as opposed to the avalanche itself, the film's centrepiece, a conversation between Tomas and Ebba, their friend Mats (Kristofer Hivju) and his much younger girlfriend Fanni (Fanni Metelius). In it, all the parties air their various grievances, and it becomes clear to everyone in the room (and the audience) that Ebba is not simply going to let this slide. She delivers, masterfully, a monologue where she describes her version of events, while Tomas stares blankly, taking the words like silent punches. Mats and Fanni look on, but eventually Mats sides with Tomas, and Fanni with Ebba. The conversation reveals itself to be less about the incident itself, but about gender roles. Mats tries to justify Tomas's actions by saying that he simply escaped so that he could later return and rescue his family safely; nobody buys it.
Ostlund's direction spells out these lines cannily. He has a habit of exaggerating the frame so that what is presented to us, and what we are hearing, are often at odds with each other. In the aforementioned sequence, Fanni is talking about herself, but all we can see is a closeup of Ebba's face; this is held for a couple of minutes before Ebba begins her monologue, and it leaves the viewer uncertain where Fanni is in relation to everyone else. A lot of scenes occur in this manner, and it's effective, because it forces the viewer into the same state of disassociative confusion that the family has found themselves in.
If it all sounds very clever-clever and heavy-leaden, it isn't. Hidden amongst the flashes of portentousness (cannons firing to control the avalanches punctuate sequences like individually aimed gunshots, or the 1812 Overture), the film has an almost gleefully sadistic, satirical bent, protecting itself against favourable MRA readings by painting Tomas out to be, in some scenes, utterly pathetic. A sequence where he finds himself uncontrollably bawling outside his hotel room, claiming to be held captive by his own instincts, is uncomfortably pitched but hilarious for Ostlund's refusal to look away, and Kuhnke's commitment to character.
Ostlund, in an interview, talks about how typically in films, "man as hero" is the most common trope, and how that doesn't match up to the statistical reality of how men act in an emergency, and how they're usually much more selfish. This is clearly of great interest him, but he cleverly refuses to take one side or another, and acknowledges both realities. Men, yes, are put under a great amount of pressure to provide for those around them, but men also have a tendency to play the victim and expect a great deal, perhaps too much, in return.
This is a dense, knotty, shrewd and refreshingly doe-eyed film, hilarious and a little scary in places, and it doesn't back away from the questions it's asking. As such, it's a moral thriller of the highest calibre, that invites readings on a number of levels, and it engages the viewer on a philosophical level as well as a real-world, practical level. Not many films can do either of those things, let alone be funny on top. It's something of a marvel.

While Marty is gone to help at the SES market, I thought I'd show off his hard work yesterday putting on the towbar!
He had to take off the rear bumper.. and jack the car up.
The little Daihatsu already had two of the bolt-holes.. and Marty drilled through the little car to add the other 5 required. The little jack came in handy for holding up the heavy towbar while he worked.
It was well and truly dark by the time it was all done. It's getting dark around 5pm now, though. The end result: we can now tow!!
We've got a little trailer lined-up from a local seller, and we're looking forward to not having to bag-up horse manure (one of us shovelling, the other holding the bag) before bringing it home in the back of the hatchback with all the windows down and our noses held. ;) Now we should be able to both shovel straight into the trailer and drive it home minus the flies. Hooray!
I've also been having fun keeping us warm with the pot-belly stove in the shed. It's a great little heater, but it will work better once we have all the windows back into place. :p
Aaah, just looking at that photo is warming my fingers. Inside the house is just getting into single digits (9.5°C / 49°F currently!) so we're keen as ever to get the Bakers Oven in and keeping us warm, as well as baking some banana muffins! (Our electric oven is only just getting up to 100°C (212°F) now.. it's dying a slow death.) Hopefully the bricks will be dry in a day or two and we can get onto painting the chimney. We'll leave the hassling of different companies until after the Queen's Birthday. :)
Until next time!

Stay true to your calling regardless of the circumstance.
(Inspired by Luke 14:27 – "Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.")
The book of Luke paints a beautiful picture of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. I am amazed by the power of God at work through the miracles he performs, the compassion that he has for the lost and brokenhearted, and by his authoritative teaching that transforms and renews our minds. God sent his one and only son to die as a living sacrifice, so that we may have eternal life.
We deserve no such thing. Jesus was innocent.
He is so full of love.
Jesus was holy and blameless, the only human being free of sin. "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." Yet because God did not want us to perish, he sacrificed his very own son, that we might become righteous before God and dwell with him forever. This is the epicenter of our faith; the ultimate gift in which we cannot be grateful enough, neither can we fully comprehend it.
What profoundly stood out to me in this account of Jesus' life though, was the walk to Jerusalem. The fact that he was perfectly aware of the outcome of that walk, and that he still chose to walk it, and that he had the courage and strength to finish it.
He knew that one of his very own disciples would betray him, (and loose his soul by doing so.) And that another disciple, a close friend of his, would turn his back on him; disowning him three times. He knew that he would be delivered over to the Gentiles. That he would be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon. He knew that he would be flogged and killed. He knew.
But he kept walking.
That is my question.
For a people so underserving of such a gift. For a people enslaved to sin and slow to repent. For a people so greedy, so arrogant and so careless. If it were for his family, his friends or for someone else he cared about we could possibly grasp it. But for a people who rejected him, mocked him and mistreated him? It would take extraordinary strength and courage to take those steps towards Jerusalem.
What really moved me to tears and convicted my very core is Jesus' character throughout the book of Luke. Try to imagine for just a second; willingly stepping into betrayal, hatred, public humiliation, and excruciating pain to the point of death.
Have you ever been cheated or betrayed, humiliated for standing up for something you know to be true, tortured both physically and emotionally, not accepted by someone you love dearly? We have all been pained in ways we thought we would never recover from because it hurt so much. Jesus went through all of the above at the very same time.
He carried it all at once.
But his character remained the same. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." His love towards the people did not alter. He did not shrink back in fear and despair. He chose to keep healing, to teach and to love. He did not let the frightening task at hand keep him from serving his Father in Heaven wholeheartedly. He remained faithful, compassionate, patient and loving although he knew no one that could relate to his pain. He had no one to encourage or to console him, yet he kept walking in truth and in love.
Too often I allow my circumstances define my willingness to serve God. I justify my slothfulness by feeling weary and burdened, although Christ has offered to take that yoke upon himself. I neglect my responsibilities as a follower of Christ when things aren't working out perfectly for me. When I feel distressed or tired or wronged in some way or another. Bearing one's cross and following Jesus in the good times is easy, but we cannot call ourselves true disciples if we do not bear our cross through the tough times. It is when a challenge arises or when pain is inflicted that our true character should shine forth in a Christ-like manner. "For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other." I do not want to allow my circumstances or my emotions define my willingness to serve God any longer. I want to make conscious efforts to act in the opposite spirit when my fleshly desires are against the desires of God. I no longer want my emotions to steer my walk with the Lord. I want the fruits of the spirit to shine through me in times when I feel like acting in them the least.

|Visits from former Players, No better feeling- Coach Scott Fields
I had the pleasure to sit and visit with one of my former pro players.
Rene Farias from Venezuela.
Rene and I were together with Guaros de Lara
(see picture below )
5 years later, we sat and talked about what the future holds, what we accomplished in the past, We talked about our goals.
We talked about the governments of each of our countries. We talked about the memories we made together. We shared many smiles, we shared many laughs.
I cant share with you enough how meaningful it is to stay in contact with my former players.
Rene and I send many text messages back in forth throughout the years.
but, to be able to give him a hug and embrace and look him in his eyes was simply the best feeling ever.
Rene was a great player, he was coachable, he was hard working. He suffered a serious knee injury the season I was blessed to work with him. He was an asset to our Team.
He is 31 years old now, He has grown as a person. I am so proud to have had the opportunity to work with him on the court.
I am more proud of the person he has become.
Wins/Losses- we shared success no doubt, the personal relationships are what matters most.
I am honored to call this man my friend, Yes, I bought lunch, Rene is my guy. We not only shared a few hours together today (2/3/2018) but I hope he knows and feels I am always here in his corner to help him in anyway.
There is no doubt things change with time. His haircut was clean, my hair is falling out. I have a new look the beard, his gut was not falling out. our bond and love for the game has not changed.
The respect has grown for each other.
I am blessed to have been his Coach Then and Now.

Paint an exterior driveway to accent a freshly painted house or to update your driveway's appearance. Concrete paint is available in a formula specifically made for painting driveways. This formula is UV-resistant and protects against gasoline spots, oil and grease. Concrete paint covers approximately 300 to 500 square feet per gallon and comes in a variety of colors. For concrete paint to adhere properly to your driveway, surface preparation is key. An etching solution is used to degrease the surface and enhance paint adhesion.
Things You'll Need
- Broom
- Plastic sheeting
- Degreaser
- Power washer
- Bristle brush
- Etching solution
- Garden sprayer
- Paint roller with long handle
- Paint roller tray
- Safety glasses and gloves
Video of the Day
Prepare the area by covering electrical outlets near the workspace. Dampen nearby plants with water and cover them with plastic.
Sweep the driveway with a broom to remove dirt and debris.
Prepare a heavy-duty degreaser, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Insert the degreaser mixture into a power washer and adjust the washer to low pressure.
Apply the degreaser with the power washer, starting at the top of the driveway. Work your way down to the street. Leave the degreaser on the surface for five to 10 minutes.
Scrub the degreaser with a brush to remove rough spots.
Adjust the power washer to a high pressure and rinse the area.
Apply concrete etching with a garden sprayer. Start at the top of the driveway and work your way down to the street. Allow the area to dry before applying paint.
Apply concrete paint with a paint roller attached to a long handle. Work in one area at a time, starting at the top of the driveway and working your way down to the street.
Allow the concrete paint to dry for 24 hours before permitting foot traffic on the driveway. Wait a minimum of five days before allowing any automobile traffic.

Stockholm Syndrome is a video trilogy about the tendencies of Jews to return to Europe, as many young Israelis find themselves attached to a homeland in which they were never born while perfectly aware of the victim-victimizer relationship, which is well rooted in the fabrication of Israelism.

A collaborative space to develop a series of text & image based work.
Bad Company will argue the case for the political value of being bad, or being under the influence of bad people, bad language and bad ideas. A short break from regimes of expected high-input functionality and demanding cultural affirmations. Together we will celebrate the allure of the bad and the minor. This may include jabbering, tiny movements and gluing.
workshop (in English) is free but based on the initial contributions of the participants who are asked to bring a text or an image their own, or others of what they consider bad company. It
can be what certain institutions or regimes will define as bad company, or what the main stream will, or what they consider to be bad company, or themselves as bad company and
Across her practice London based artist Oreet Ashery (born 1966 in Jerusalem) Ashery mines counter-cultures and trash aesthetics in performances, situations, public platforms, photographs, videos, mass-produced and unique artefacts, text and commissioned music. Her expansive and eclectic body of work is made of multilayered projects that reveal ideological, social and gendered paradigms, often through intimate moments of recognition and tend to evolve around minority discourse.
Most recently Ashery focused on freedom rhetoric, collective actions and cultural value. In this context Ashery produced Party for Freedom, an Artangel commission in 2013, and The World is Flooding, aTate Modern Turbine Hall commission, 2014. Ashery has exhibited and performed extensively at international contexts such as ZKM Karlsruhe, Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin, Brooklyn Museum, Overgaden Copenhagen, DEPO Istanbul, Whitstable Biennale, Centre Pompidou, and Freud Museum. Ashery is the 2014-15 Stanley Picker Fine Art Fellow and a Visiting Professor at the Painting Department at the RCA.

An Encounter is defined as a self-experience, as well as related movements, so to explore yourself, to be confident and to grow personally. It involves direct contact with your own Cheesecake and with Anja Ibsch in the here-and-now.
Self-distancing in existential analysis means the humorous shift to the self. Two very useful techniques of dealing with physical symptoms deriving from self-distancing are paradoxical intention and the de-reflexion. Complex non-knowledge thus allows moments of fluctuations in the artistic process. Coffee is also available.
Anja Ibsch works in performance art and installation. In her practice she deals intensely with the research of personal, cultural and social aspects of human presence as a way of "thinking through cells". She realised numerous performances in Europe, Asia and America. Anja Ibsch is / was a member of the Ultimate Akademie Cologne (1993-1999), the Berlin group pakt (2000-2004), the Rheinische fundamentalists in Cologne (since 1995), the Berlin Performer Stammtisch (since 2005), the Association for Performance Art in Berlin (since 2013) , 2005 Anja Ibsch organized the 13th Performance Art Conference on Cooperation in Berlin. For this year's Month of Performance Art Berlin she is planning a program entitled Serious Laughter.

Simone Forti once told Jeremiah: "keep it light." To make political subjects tender and soft is not only more persuasive, it's more accurate: these are other people, after all, doing things, imposing and suffering. In this workshop we will consider one approach of staying close, of being earnest without (too much) posturing and self-righteousness: the local. Globalized critical theory can fall apart when confronted with concrete situations. What if we think from inside>out, and then back again? Concrete examples of such re-groundings will be considered: Allan Kaprow and Amiri Baraka in particular offer two very different routes. The workshop will be mostly discussion but punctuated by some 'field-work,' and (hopefully) some guest speakers. After all Berlin is the adopted home of so many exiles, and is known for this at exactly the same time it is the political capitol of a Germany that no longer subordinates its ambitions to the European Project. This particular intersection will be in the background, to be considered and approached with care.
Jeremiah Day, Amsterdam/Berlin based artist, whose performances, photographs and installations weave the inter-relationship between local and world history, fragmentary glimpses of sites of epic meaning, and those of more anonymous historical forces.
The number of participants is limited to 15. Please enroll by writing an email to redemption-jokes(at)ngbk(dot)de.
Sol Calero's workshop "Salsa" compiles her artistic projects revolving around the Latin dance and music style of the same name and a continuation of her research exploring the multi-functionality and complexities of Latino social space and aesthetics.
Though it is widely thought of as a pan-Latin American phenomenon, 'Salsa' music was first conceived in East Harlem, New York - known to locals as 'el Barrio' - during the 1970s.
Despite its entrepreneurial elements, Salsa and New York's Latin music scene in general were true testaments to racial integration, the social power of music, and were also instrumental in helping Spanish-speaking immigrants define their own community and culture. It spoke to the difficulties of poverty, and offered an empowered cultural space for the Latino population to at once be in touch with their roots and to feel comfortably at home in New York. Lyrical content ranged from heartbreak to macho posturing to sharp cultural and political commentary, reflecting the era of Vietnam and violently suppressed left-wing uprisings in Central and South America as well as dangerous street life in New York City.
The exuberant, energetic nature of the music and its contagious nature lead to Salsa eclipsing countless indigenous and regional musical styles across Latin America, becoming a powerhouse that dominated Latin music and dance well into the 80s and 90s. Forty years since the initial rise of Salsa, it has persisted as an international phenomenon with Salsa nights, concerts, and dance schools still popular all over the world. While the music and dance has helped galvanize a genuine interest in Latin American culture, the fascination is often taken to be idealized, exoticized, andaestheticized, painting an image that is generally a far cry from the realities of daily life in Latin America.
In this way 'Salsa', as a North American creation, has had the double effect of Latinos internalizing the Western Gaze back upon themselves and also providing non-latinos an outlet for living out their fantasies loaded with 'saucy' emotions and 'spicy' passions, which are sometimes culturally suppressed.

Preciosa de Joya is currently a fellow at the ICI - Institute for Cultural Inquiry Berlin. As part of the ICI core project on Errans, her research explores Philippine and Indonesian cultures for spaces that have been neglected or deemed unworthy by philosophical inquiry. Our office appt. discussion will be on humor, looking particularly into the case of the clown-servants (punakawans) in Javanese shadow puppet theatre (wayang). We advice to read the text below for a preliminary warm-up!
Christopher Kline's "O.K.(Comedic Struggle)" Acting Workshop revolves around elements of
community theatre musical production, with a focus on creating and acting out comedic dialog. Exploring the terrain of humor itself, participants will work out why some things are funnier than others, and will act out and rework "O.K." dialogs to
optimize comedic and dramatic effect.
The term "O.K." has become one of the most universally used and understood words in the world. Its rise to prominence can be traced back to Martin Van Buren's failed U.S. Presidential reelection campaign of 1840, for which the abbreviation of his hometown nickname "Old Kinderhook" was the rallying cry of his supporters. Oriented around the propagation of "O.K." as a metaphor for the subtle permeation of small-town American idiosyncrasies into broader cultural forms, Kline's project explores early cultural exports and anomalies originating in Van Buren's (and Kline's) birthplace as well as recent local developments there since post- industrialization.The recent focus of the project has been to gradually develop a full-scale theatre musical which synthesizes the lore and history of Kinderhook into a locally-relevant "everyman's" medium.
Through workshops, exhibitions and smaller-scale performances such as "O.K. – The Musical (Dress Rehearsals)", staged in February at KW, the musical is slowly born as a series of historical vignettes viewed through a lens which is continually pulling back to reveal the inner-workings and, at times, unfortunate realities of amateur theatre.
