Poule!, on erasing spatial boundaries
By: Doreen A. Rios
Preparing the ground
Back in 2012, from April 20th to September 14th, the Jumex Foundation gallery held one of the most controversial exhibitions that Mexico City had ever seen: Poule!
Curated by the vibrant eye of Michel Blancsubé, in charge of the Archives Department of the Jumex Foundation since 2001, this show was a very firm statement on the way we approach art and the methods used by curators to assemble a path through an exhibition.
The exhibition featured 68 pieces, cautiously selected from a 2500 artwork collection, by 57 international artists focusing in those that hadn't been exhibited before by the Jumex Foundation. Inside the selected artists we can find Francis Alÿs, Andisheh Avini, Dirk Bell, Jason Bereswill, Dike Blair, Francesco Vezzoli, John Waters, Hannah Wilke, Richard Wright, Iñaki Bonillas, Santiago Borja, Fernando Carabajal, Daniel Guzmán, Jorge Méndez Blake, Oscar Muñoz, Urs Fischer, Cao Guimaraes, Dennis Hopper, Robert Longo, Robert Mapplethorpe, John McCraken, Pablo Ortiz Monasterio, Sebastián Rodríguez Romo, Miguel Rodríguez Sepúlveda, Marco Rountree Cruz, Hedi Slimane, Eduardo Terrazas, Rosemarie Trockel and Tatana Trouvé. All of the pieces inside this exhibition belong to diverse contexts and flow through a wave of sculpture, photography, installation, video and painting.
A walk inside the exhibition
At first glance one may think that the selection looks pretty deliberate, however this is exactly the feeling that Blancsubé wanted to give us. To understand the goals behind this assembly we should start with the name: Poule!, this simple word means "hen" in French, but also refers to the sport ball-trap where it's used to warn the shooter when an object enters his visual field, and – unlike many other exhibition names – it doesn't stand for a particular art theory or political statement, it's mainly a symbolic way of letting the audience know that this exhibition either makes no sense or it is ready to throw some plates and watch you shoot them.
In words of Michel "every artwork selected for this exhibition is an event that leads to desire. The desire of watching the piece, of sharing a moment with it. The desire of owning it, of wanting to throw it into the trash can. The desire, the pleasure, the seduction is what I aim for, I'm not interested in enlarging the big names." (Blancsubé 2012).
This becomes very clear with the decision of not adding any kind of written information inside the exhibition and also with the distribution of the artworks themselves.
In Fig. 1 we can see the entrance hall of the exhibition, here the name of the show becomes clear: Blink once and a picture of Angelina Jolie laying in her bed, taken by Steve Klein, appears. Blink twice and we can see a shy Patti Smith portrait, taken by Robert Mapplethorpe, emerging through the walls. Blink again and William Burroughs pops up holding a rifle, ready to shoot.
We are standing at the entrance hall and while it resembles the traditional arrange of the 1700's French salons, it also establishes the pattern for the rest of the exhibition. As you keep on walking through the aisle you encounter the main room, filled with a series of objects juxtaposing into one another where every piece becomes a sentence and the only way to read through the whole story is by navigating it. The decision of not attaching any kind of label to the artworks makes it hard to determine where does a piece start and where does it end but it also gives the audience the power of weaving their own thoughts without any distraction.
In Fig.2 we can see a diagonal wall disrupting the space, creating a window for us to see through it while we stablish a dialogue with the pictures shown inside. By now, we can see that there's no prejudice in adding bits of the popular culture because, as Yves Michaud said, "art has transformed its sanctuaries in media of mass communication" (Michaud 1985) and culture is completely embedded by it.
There's a sense of provocative playfulness that creates a less serious environment for the audience and at the same time it looks back on exhibitions like those created in the 1900's by the French movement, The Incoherents, where they selected irrational and iconoclastic pieces for creating exhibitions aiming to question the "authority" of art by challenging the audience to interpret what they saw without someone telling them what they should be looking at.
A good example of this, see Fig.3, is the way Blancsubé cleverly set the video artwork Tornado, by Francis Alÿs and Julien Devaux, right in front of the sculpture wINdORwALL, by Dirk Bell, and created a tight dialogue between the two pieces that seem to complement each other with their chaotic aesthetics. Or the ethereal environment created by the large format photographs of the sky, by Marine Hugonnier, surrounding a cigarette box subtly flying around the room (See Fig.2).
Examples like these can be seen throughout the exhibition and it's the audience the one in power of adding and/or deleting these connections between pieces. If we could establish the initial rules for travelling across this exhibition they might look like this:
1.- Come in, choose the artwork that appeals you the most and approach it.
2.- Create an interaction with the piece and let it talk to you without boundaries nor predetermined ideas.
3.- Take one of the booklets and discover if what you've just seen is one, two or three pieces talking to you all at once.
Behind Poule!
Despite the seemingly random path that defines Poule! we can see a clear concept appearing over and over: the cut-up.
This technique first appeared in the 1920's with the Dadaist movement, it was Tristan Tzara the first poet to use random words from articles and newspapers to put together a series of poems (See Fig.4). But it wasn't until the 1950's that William Burroughs and Brion Gysin popularized the technique and started a whole new interaction between words and shapes which also opened a new door for cinematographic post-production. Coincidence, or not, the figure of Burroughs seems to create an invisible web through every room of the exhibition and also a Dadaist essence roams around the corners.
In fact, we could say that Poule! works in a very similar way to the First International Dada Fair (1920) celebrated in Berlin (see Fig.5). The latter was held in reaction to the academic art exhibitions and not only aimed to deconstruct the idea of art, and how art should look like, but also to question the exhibition spaces and the distribution of artworks inside them. As we can see, the intention laying behind Poule! is very alike, and makes us wonder whether if the institutions in charge of art are, in fact, moving out of the elitist ghost that has haunted them since the very beginning of museums and galleries or if they have perpetuated it.
Moving back to the idea of the cut-up, Poule!, also works in a way that there are no "big names" nor a sense of superiority between the pieces. Just as the words hand-picked from newspapers and magazines, what is important is not the article they were taken from but the final assembly of the piece/event. This idea, which works – of course – hand in hand with the collage, gives us the most important goal of the whole exhibition: getting the audience to look at the bigger picture.
It is not the individual artworks that speak for themselves, but the complete experience given to every single visitor of the exhibition. The most important thing for Michel Blancsubé is to create an appealing and complex environment where the audience can create intimate dialogues with the pieces without any intruder.
The controversy behind Poule!
As one could expect from an exhibition like this, the curatorial approach was very controversial for the Mexican art circuit. First because most of the artists featured in the exhibition are alive and personally complained about the way their pieces were displayed; it seemed that the main focus of the artists' displeasure was that they didn't want their pieces to be close to others because then the message they are trying to get through gets corrupted.
However, we should ask ourselves if this doesn't happen in any other, more traditional, curatorial exercises. Let's look for instance to any exhibition regarding a specific place and time, for example: the German art of the twentieth century (1952) exhibition curated by Werner Haftmann, Alfred Hentzen and William S. Lieberman held at the Museum of Modern Art of New York. This example put together a series of artworks created, specifically, by German artists – such as Max Beckmann, Otto Baum, Rudolf Belling, Otto Dix, Max Ernst, Wassily Kandinsky and Hans Ulhmann – who worked with painting, sculpture and prints throughout the 20th century. Despite the fact that the exhibition enclosed a particular group of artists and the artworks were displayed in a very controlled way, they can't help but to create links between one another, simply because of sharing the same room (See Fig. 6). Therefore, if the artworks can't avoid communication between each other, not even in strict conditions like the example given, to claim that it is disrespectful not to give each piece "enough" space to speak individually goes against the whole idea of collective exhibitions.
On the other hand, the exhibition was also controversial for creating a bigger story guided by the curator because somehow it imposes a new power figure over the artists and the artworks themselves.
However, even if I personally believe that the curator should work more as a post-producer than a director, the whole exhibition was incredibly well received by the visitors. We must keep in mind that this exhibition space was built inside a juice factory in the very centre of one of the most dangerous places in the State of Mexico, which made very difficult for people to approach the museum in addition to the fact that, even though the entry in this gallery was free, the people living in this area had very little interest in art. It was a very clever way to gain audience and awaken an interest in what was going on inside this exhibition space because, due to the fact that the exhibition felt so playful and open, it was very easy for people who weren't familiar with art to actually engage with this non-linear story.
Also, this was one of the last exhibitions held inside this space – few months after this exhibition ended, the new building of the Jumex Foundation opened its doors to the public– and this granted it the opportunity to put a symbolic end to unilateral exhibitions and created a space for exciting experiments regarding art and curation.
Last but not least
Without a doubt this was one of the most memorable contemporary art exhibitions held in Mexico. It represented a step back into basics by reorganizing the curators' priorities in order to face a very demanding audience that won't settle down for less than a rich experience.
Poule! was a poetic game through contemporary creation that aimed to change the state of apathy, consequence of the uber intellectual and elitist art/exhibition production, for a state of constant doubt. It created a mysterious web of connections that can only be made by the observant, it gave back the power of interpretation to the audience and, more importantly, it got rid of the egotism that surrounds art.
This exhibition was so ground-breaking that it personally affected me; it became the reason why I started exploring curatorial studies as a professional career. I'm pretty sure that I wasn't the only one feeling a deep awakening while walking through that mesmerizing maze filled with secrets awaiting to be revealed. We, curators, should be pursuing a dialogue between the audience and the artworks, we should stand firmly and defend the experience of the observant.

The Kuhn Choir of Prague sings Czech music in the 2012 Israel Festival
Antonin Dvorak
Following its participation in "The Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezin" the previous evening, the Kühn Choir of Prague (director: Marek Vorliček) performed a concert of Czech music June 1st 2012 in the Henry Crown Auditorium of the Jerusalem Theatre. With the support of the Czech government and the Prague Municipality, the Kühn Choir is one of the groups participating in the "Days of Prague" events of the 2012 Israel Festival. The choir was established in 1958 by Pavel Kühn (1938-2003) and is known for its a cappella performances of Romantic music, oratorio- and cantata repertoire; the choir also collaborates with the Prague Symphony Orchestra. Other of the choir's projects have been with the Nederlands Dans Theater, in opera, film score recordings and many CD recordings. The Kühn Choir places importance on the singing of contemporary works, several of which have been written for the ensemble.
Before entering the Henry Crown Auditorium, festival-goers paused to enjoy a photographic exhibition of Prague Panorama (photographers Ondej Polak, Jan Vrabec) in the balcony lobby of the theatre complex sponsored by the Prague Municipality. The photos gave viewers a sense the atmosphere of Prague, showing the city and its architectural landmarks from a number of vantage points, as well as its alleyways and bridges, its towers and roofs.
The concert opened with six of Antonin Dvořák's (1841-1904) Moravian Duets. Based on Czech folk poetry, the songs we heard were those transcribed by Leos Janacek (a Moravian) from the original two voices with piano to four-voiced mixed choir and piano. In a series of musical pieces evoking characteristic folk dances, richly-colored nature scenes, rustic life, love and disappointed love, Vorliček's singers presented the audience with pictures of rustic life and folk; they performed them singing with precision, a warm, well-coordinated sound and the kind of dynamic variety which shapes the smallest of gestures.
'If the scythe were sharpened
Keen will be the edge of yonder scythe blade
When arrives the harvest time;
Swiftly shall I cut the crimson clover,
Throwing out a scent divine.
Ye finest, finest blooms I shall not spare thee;
And my dearest lassie, malice shall I bear thee;
What art thou to me now,
Since another hast thou wed!'
Pianist Lenka Navratilova's delicate, tasteful playing of the accompaniments was an integral, involved part of the fabric of the songs.
For Bohuslav Martinů (1890-1959) clarity, simplicity and directness make up his directness of expression. The almost "primitive" harmonic structures and fluid, transparent counterpoint he chooses do not culminate in a poverty of expression, of feeling or intellect. For his a cappella "Four Songs of Mary" for mixed chorus H.235 (1934) the composer chose parallel voices and homophony of the Middle Ages, basing the four Marian songs on Czech poetry. The Kühn Choir's superbly balanced singing of these gave expression to their modality and their range of moods, their mystical moments giving rise to exuberance.
The concert ended with the performance of Czech composer Zdenĕk Lukáš' (1928-2007) "Requiem" opus 252, now one of the focal a cappella works of modern Czech sacred repertoire. Writing much vocal music, the composer was strongly influenced by folk music and avant-garde techniques. The perfect vehicle for Maestro Vorliček and his singers' musicianship, we heard the work performed with an astonishing variety of vocal timbres, from the uncompromising, vehemently intense cries of the Dies Irae to the velvety, caressing reading of the Lacrymosa, to the compassion of the Hostias. Phrases were finely chiseled and articulate. The excellence of the Kühn Choir's balance, control and rich choral sound has been the source of much pleasure in the 2012 Israel Festival and "Days of Prague". The two concerts performed by the Kühn Choir of Prague have left Israeli audiences with a lasting impression of fine Czech choral tradition.

Yangon / Myanmar
35 images
Shwe Dagon is a sanctuary of calm in the chaos of Yangon. Years ago I met a monk at this temple, a man who convinced me that tourism can lead to change in his country. So far his prediction have proved right. I enjoy sharing my insights into Myanmar with photographers, and I enjoy the gentle neature of the people. Above all, Shwe Dagon Pagoda is a place of peacefulness, where prayers are offered in kindness to others.
If you want to read about why I began travelling to Myanmar with photo tours, please follow this link to the story of Uttama, a monk I met while wandering the golden shrines of Shwe Dagon Pagoda. I met him several months before Aung San Suu Kyi announced a new policy towards to tourism and inviting the outside world to see what was happening in Myanmar.

At a Glance: Jay-Z Unveils His Life + Times
Music News
By our guest blogger, Nick Hanover
When you're a rapper mogul who already has a sterling career, one of the few remaining successful labels and Beyonce for a wife, what else is there left to do? Well, apparently the next item on Jay-Z's bucket list was establishing his own lifestyle website, appropriately named Life + Times.
At the moment, Life + Times is vaguely Tumblr-ific, with a collage of pics that feed into articles, videos and random thoughts. There's even an introductory video that, uh, explains pretty much nothing. Except that somewhere down the line, Life + Times might just be hosting snowboarding and interviews with bearded old white men. Cool? Of course, the real news is that Jay-Z, or his chosen site designers, apparently really, really want to use the site to promote hip young indie bands.
Up first are Cat Fancy subscribers Best Coast, who get the profile treatment in a lushly shot video that shows the band prepping for a show by bowling (badly) and just generally hanging out. There's also a piece on uber mysterious lo-fi R&B act The Weeknd, who are like a more slow jams oriented XX if they were Canadian. Rounding things out are segments on college basketball, trendy ski wear, and Brazilian photography, amongst other subjects.
Is Life + Times pretty? Undoubtedly. Does it serve a purpose? Well, that's not so clear yet. At the moment the site isn't all that different from others of its ilk, except with a much larger budget. But at the same time, you have to give Jay-Z credit for putting his funds towards creative endeavors and using the massive platform of his public persona to promote acts like The Weeknd, even if he isn't necessarily the one finding these artists.

Contact: Len Bobinchock, 207-288-8701
(Bar Harbor, ME) – Engaging Youth: No Child Left Inside Initiative, "Car Free" Acadia, and Acadia Research Fellowships: Engaging Young Science Professionals in Park-Based Research in Acadia National Park are three of 201 proposals National Park Service Director Mary Bomar and Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne announced at a press conference in Yosemite National Park today to celebrate the 91st anniversary of the NPS.
"The National Park Service has, after a rigorous review, certified these proposals as eligible for centennial challenge matching funds," Bomar said. "And they are ready to go in Fiscal Year 2008 which begins Oct. 1"
These initiatives are three of nearly $370 million in proposals eligible for centennial challenge matching funds. Acadia's projects address a broad range of needs:
- The Engaging Youth: No Child Left Inside Initiative proposes to enhance current curriculum-based and junior ranger programs by launching a strategy for an education endowment in the park, providing scholarships to the Schoodic Education Adventure program, supplying stipends for teachers to attend park institutes, and expanding the use of interactive media and technology.
- The Acadia Research Fellowships: Engaging Young Science Professionals in Park-Based Research proposal would build on the success of the park's current research fellowship program and continue to attract scientists and academic institutions to Acadia's natural outdoor laboratory for research projects that help protect natural and cultural resources.
- The "Car Free" Acadia initiative proposes to provide the public with the opportunity to explore the park using a variety of public and private transportation methods, including private automobiles. Centennial funding would help construct connector trails, rehabilitate carriage roads, construct an intermodal transportation center, and implement other initiatives that ensure visitors continue to have a quality visitor experience for the next 100 years.
Director Bomar said, "The centennial challenge is a critical element in the National Park Centennial Initiative put forward by President Bush and unveiled by Secretary Kempthorne one year ago. The full Centennial Initiative is a potential $3 billion investment in our national parks, two-thirds of it a public-private partnership of matching money."
The President's fiscal year 2008 budget called for an additional $100 million a year for 10 years to be dedicated to bolster basic park operations, Bomar said. Congress has included the first $100 million for operations in the fiscal year 2008 budget that awaits final passage.
"The second part of the initiative is the centennial challenge—a funding mechanism to match up to $100 million a year over 10 years of public money with $100 million a year for 10 years in private donations," Bomar said. "Congress has yet to finish legislation necessary to create the public-private centennial challenge."
Financial commitments to the first round of proposals exceeded the President's challenge. "We have about $370 million in proposals with not $100 million in private commitments but $216 million committed from park visitors, friends groups and other partners," Bomar said.
"I've testified before Senate and House subcommittees and judging by the warm reception we received, I believe Congress will include centennial challenge money in our next budget. We look forward to working with members from both sides of the aisle to provide the key to the centennial challenge. When that happens we can make decisions on which of these wonderful proposals to begin in the fall."
Locally, Superintendent Sheridan Steele said, "Acadia Partners for Science and Learning, Eastern National, Friends of Acadia, and the state of Maine have committed matching money for the three projects. The new fiscal year begins October 1 and we are excited to get these centennial projects underway."
The list of proposals—at 116 parks in 40 states and the District of Columbia—touches parks nationwide. To be certified, proposals had to be imaginative and innovative; address critical Service needs; have a philanthropic partner; require little or no additional recurring operating funds to be sustainable; improve the efficiency of park management, operations, and employees; and produce measurable results.
Examples of other proposals include:
- Lewis and Clark National Historical Park adopting the Class of 2016 with the goal of turning students to stewards.
- Strengthening efforts to save Kemp's Ridley sea turtles—the world's most endangered sea turtle—with citizens assisting park rangers to observe and relocate nests on Padre Island National Seashore, the turtle's most important U.S. nesting habitat.
- Restoration of more than 50 miles of important foot trails in Yosemite National Park.
- Climate change research of glaciers at Mount Rainier National Park.
- Utilizing scientists and volunteers to study life along the Appalachian Trail.
"There is a huge wave of excitement among National Park Service professionals and our partners," Bomar said. "We will create park-based centers for Junior Rangers, implement cutting-edge energy projects like fuel cells and geothermal and build multimedia wayside exhibits that "talk" to visitors. This is a victory for national parks and over 270 million park visitors we see each year.
"Last week, I sent an email to the men and women of the National Park Service to inform them of our announcement. One of the replies I received says it best: 'This is thrilling! A win/win opportunity like we've never seen before. Thanks for the energy and vision for the NPS.'
"That thanks," Bomar said, "is for the many who worked to transform vision into action: Secretary Kempthorne and our friends in Congress, from both sides of the aisle who introduced legislation to support the Centennial. But most of all, our thanks go to park superintendents, friends groups, partners and an army of supporters."
"When history is written," Bomar said, "the Centennial Initiative will be second only to the creation of the national park system itself."
The full list of centennial challenge-eligible projects and programs is available on-line at the National Park Service centennial web site at www.nps.gov/2016 .

Just a little note, about two of my favorite topics. Sighting, and ammunition.
If you are planning on changing ammunition this year, or if you are planning on using a different rifle, you should start making those choices now, and head on out to the range for some sighting in. Every ammunition shoots to a different point, and will have a different minute of angle value. If you start finding out what that is, and getting ready now, you won't have to rush so much when the season gets near.
If you want a little information on why the ammo reacts differently, or some tips on how to pick the best for your rifle, check out the other posts on this subject on this site.

|The ad for my last project, a product line. It's not critiqued and might change a bit, but
this is mostly it.
My last project at this university. We get to review with our peers, and let them gently tear down the weak spots so we can revamp, but this is it.
And it has been an obstacle course here lately. Two cars in need of repair, one of which we never would have been able to fix without help from our family, a quick mini-vacation to a cabin squeezed in between deadlines, and, after feeling horrible for a long time, I was finally told I was anemic.
I'm getting better now, with iron pills and hormone therapy, and the pains in my legs doesn't wake me from a dead sleep. The headaches are less frequent, the weird tightening and numbness in my hands not the huge deal they were. The worst part of it was being out of breath while doing ALMOST NOTHING. It impaired even being able to carry my toddler on outings. Coming back around the other side of this, I sort of wondered how I didn't put it all together on my own. Even my MD's nurse asked why the hell I didn't come in, and I didn't have an answer. We were just too busy.
I've started a list of things I want to do in the week after school, as we catch our breath. One is getting my hair cut (mine is thick, and summer is hard with long, thick hair), the second is buying myself a personal planner to make my daily world, when I'm not subject to telling time via when an assignment is due, easier. And the third is...rest. I want more of the laid back time of summer. The not going to places that require too much driving summer, the swim every chance we get summer, the have time for people who need us this summer.

So I got a shiny new Proliant Microserver, which I wanted to move my existing Linux install to free up the box it's in.
The OS is installed with mdraid on a two-drive RAID1 system. I've moved the hard drives to the Proliant but switching between the different controller options (HW Raid, AHCI, Legacy SATA) does not boot the system. The drives are recognized, but the system won't boot.
Was this a terrible idea that won't ever work? Simple idiotic PEBCAK? Ideas?
I'm preparing an USB rescue drive to look around as we speak... just wanted to drop here quickly in case I'm missing something trivial...
So I got a shiny new Proliant Microserver, which I wanted to move my existing Linux install to free up the box it's in.
Meh, I can't get the server to recognize the USB boot (which works on my laptop) and reading I think that I've wiped out my disks- apparently booting with the HW raid controller will write to your disks unprompted?
Meh. So it seems that my mdraid is intact- I just think that the installation has EFI boot and the microserver does not support EFI, so I need to reconvert it to another boot (BIOS Grub, maybe?). I'm unsure how to do that- I believe the disks are GPT-partitioned but I don't know if that will be a problem.
So i had to change the EFI FAT partition to a BIOS boot partition type and that was basically it.
What microserver do you have?
It's the latest Gen8. While poking in the iLO I've seen some references to some EFI stuff, which is baffling- it didn't seem to pick my EFI setup.
For future reference HPE did a great whitepaper and packaging of automatic sofware RAID on Proliant. It's called project
note, the above PDF only applies to gen8 (and newer?) microservers, as the gen7 (n54l) and previous do not have UEFI bios.
Sorry for the necromancing, but I came across this thread on Google and I want to note that the Proliant Microserver Gen8 does *not* have EFI (or at least mine doesn't).
meh. just bought a gen10. first thing i did?

JJ cut corruption to "barest minimum" – Amidu
Former President Jerry John Rawlings reduced corruption to the barest minimum as Head of State and President of Ghana, former Attorney General Martin Amidu has told parliament's Appointments Committee.
Mr Amidu, who was nominated by President Nana Akufo-Addo as Special Prosecutor, told the committee during his vetting on Tuesday, 13 February that he used Mr Rawlings as one of his referees on his CV because "he was the one who brought me into politics by appointing me from 1982 as an investigator, through 1983 as a PNDC Secretary.
"I served under him [Rawlings] until January 2001.
"If there is anybody who will know me better, it must be him. And whatever anybody says about him, he reduced corruption and graft to the barest minimum, he didn't abolish it, and if I am an anti-corruption crusader who is defending the constitution, who better than him," Mr Amidu told the committee.
The one-time running mate to late Prof John Evans Atta Mills said: "I was really humbled when hours after my nomination, he [Mr Rawlings] came out to make those commendable comments about me".

Apparently there is a documentary in production focusing on the special effect heavy films of the 80's. For people my age who lived their impressionable childhood straight through this highly imaginative era, this film aims to be extremely entertaining.
Also, if anyone who worked on any of the films that are showcased, I'm sure the filmmakers would love to hear from you.

Plastering is a great way to provide watertight seal to the pool. A properly installed plaster or otherwise known as white cement lasts as long as twenty years. However, the plaster degrades slowly over a period of time. When you see all the plaster eroding from the pool, re-plastering becomes mandatory.poolplasteringsacramento.com offers excellent info on this. Pool plastering job is a big task. However, with the right tool, materials and knowledge, you can do this plastering job all by yourself. When you do the plaster job, it not only saves big bucks but also gives satisfaction.
While doing the plaster job all by yourself, first thing to do is empty the pool, especially if you are using the electrically driven tools. You can use chisel to remove the hanging pieces of plaster and sandblast the entire area with an electric sander. Once you finish removing all the sanding dust from the entire pool, it is the time to apply the white cement. Remember to mix the plaster in a large container according to the manufacturer's recommendation.
Apply the white cement over the repair patch using a trowel. You can plaster up to one inch at a time. Once you finish the coating, wait for a day for the plaster to dry off. One should be very careful while applying a thick coat over the top edge, as the plaster may sag at this area. Once the plaster is dried up, you can apply the waterproof sealant. You can fill the water as well as other accessories in the pool, once the sealant gets dried up.

The best way to get the maximum use from your closets is by using a closet organizer system. These systems allow you to "stack" storage in your closet, so you can have multiple levels of shelving, hanging space, etc. You can find modular organizer systems, where you buy the pieces you want and fit them to your needs, or you can have an organizer system custom designed for your specific closet and how you use it.
If you have a son, you can make the room sporty. Generally, boys love sports. Surely, your son will love a sporty room. Dark colors like navy and forest green should be used for the bed, desk, dresser and other furniture inside the room. You may also add cream accents to the dark color. Place a comfortable chair inside the room. It may be used for video gaming or for studying lessons. You may hang also pictures of famous players on the walls.

A Lovely Wedding Venue in North Wales
This amazing Wedding Venue is set in the heart of North Wales in the picturesque home of the International Eisteddfod Llangollen. A family-run venue which prides itself on top quality service, just like Red Rooster Discos. We had the pleasure of making a special night for Felecia and Barry on Thursday night, a popular night for Weddings, midweek ensures you have the weekend to fully enjoy yourself with the whole family. Felecia who is from South Africa had the first dance to Van Morrison and then danced with her father.
The couple hired our lawn games and we put mood lighting in the barn in the shades of blue and purple to match the couples' Wedding Theme. Most of the playlist had been requested by the couple which allowed for some Guest requests. Felecia wanted us to fill the room with pretty colour wash lights especially for the first dance. The beauty of booking Red Rooster Discos is that we will meet with the Bride and Groom to discuss your requirements, lighting and music requirements. We are not an agency and do not send out inexperienced DJs and we do not play music downloaded from You Tube , all our tracks are downloaded LEGALLY as we are one of the few DJs that hold a Pro Dub licence in North Wales.

Walter E. Avizinis
Walter E. Avizinis 87, of Ivanhoe Street in Cranston died peacefully on Memorial Day, May 30, 2016. Calling Hours are Friday June 3rd from 6:00 – 8:00pm in The Butterfield Home and Chapel 500 Pontiac Avenue Cranston. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday June 4th at 9:00am in St. Matthews Church (corner of Park and Elmwood Avenues) Cranston followed by burial in St. Ann's Cemetery, Cranston. Immediately following the burial services there will be a luncheon held at Cucina Rustica at 555 Atwood Avenue, Cranston.
Walter was the loving husband of Rose Marie Avizinis for 58 years and the son of Adam and Helen Avizinis. Father of the late Jeffery Avizinis of Melbourne, Florida and John Avizinis and his wife Deanna Avizinis of North Attleboro, Massachusetts. He is the grandfather of John Jr. Avizinis and his wife Kelly Avizinis of Blacksburg, South Carolina, Nicole Avizinis and her wife Tara Sochia of Weymouth, Massachusetts and Mark Gentile of North Attleboro Massachusetts. He is the great grandfather of Victoria and Ava Avizinis of Blacksburg, South Carolina. Born in Providence on July 24, 1928 Walter worked most of his life as a Salesman and eventually retired from the State of Rhode Island working at the Aime Forand Building. He served in the Army and fought combat in the Korean War as the corporal of a Half Track unit from 1950 - 1952. During that time he was wounded in action as a result of an enemy mortar attack and subsequently earned a Purple Heart medal. Married to Rose Marie Travers on May 28, 1958, they had 2 sons, Jeffery and John while living in Providence and eventually moved to Cranston where they resided presently. If you knew Walt, you knew that a conversation with him would be both lengthy and filled with his wry wit, and thankfully he kept that sense of humor until the end, often cracking up (and embarrassing) his nurses. An avid fisherman, he spent many days and nights angling and sometimes catching the big ones, but Walter's great passion was his art. He began as a cartoonist and was chosen to illustrate his Army platoon yearbook in Korea and then had some success with magazine published cartoons. Later in life he turned his talents to painting in both water color and oil mediums. His self taught natural ability was amazing and as most of his friends and acquaintances know, he was quick to hand out these professional quality works of art as keep sakes. Walter was lucky enough to continue his passion up until the end of his life. As recently as early May he was still at his easel with his trademark cigarette in one hand and multiple brushes in the other. Walter you were sincerely loved and will be sorely missed but your art will live on with all of us!
Steve and Stacey Harrington - 06/02/2016

John, Deanna and family - May memories of your dad be a blessing. Indeed, he lives on through his art. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Nancy Allison - 06/03/2016
I am so very sorry for the loss of your grandfather. Many thanks to him & his family for the service to our beloved but troubled country. We need more like him. Prayers & heartfelt sympathy John, Kelly, Victoria & Ava. Please travel safely.

Machu Picchu (Quechua: Old Peak) is a 15th-century Inca site located 2430 meters above sea level. Machu Picchu is located in the Cusco Region of Peru, South America. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is 80 kilometres northwest of Cusco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often referred to as the City of the Incas, it is perhaps the most familiar icon of Inca civilization.
The Ajanta Caves in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra, India are about 30 rock-cut Buddhist cave monuments which date from the 2nd century BCE to about 480 or 650 CE. The caves include paintings and sculptures described by the government Archaeological Survey of India as the finest surviving examples of Indian art, particularly painting, which are masterpieces of Buddhist religious art, with figures of the Buddha and depictions of the Jataka tales.
The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China in part to protect the Chinese Empire or its prototypical states against intrusions by various nomadic groups or military incursions by various warlike peoples or forces.
7. Montezuma Castle National Monument, United States
Montezuma Castle National Monument, located near Camp Verde, Arizona, in the Southwestern United States, features well-preserved cliff-dwellings. They were built and used by the Pre-Columbian Sinagua people, northern cousins of the Hohokam, around 700 AD. It was occupied from approximately 1125-1400 AD, and occupation peaked around 1300 AD.
The Madara Rider or Madara Horseman (Bulgarian: Мадарски конник, Madarski konnik) is an early medieval large rock relief carved on the Madara Plateau east of Shumen in northeastern Bulgaria, near the village of Madara. The monument is dated to about 710 AD and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1979. The relief depicts a majestic horseman 23 m above ground level in an almost vertical 100 m high cliff. The horseman, facing right, is thrusting a spear into a lion lying at the feet of the horse.
The Etar Architectural-Ethnographic Complex (usually referred to as Etara) is an open-air museum and a neighbourhood of Gabrovo (8 km south of its center) in northern Bulgaria. It is located on the northern edge of the Bulgarka Nature Park, between the park and the city of Gabrovo. It presents the Bulgarian customs, culture and craftsmanship.
Saksaywaman is a walled complex on the northern outskirts of the city of Cusco, Peru, the former capital of the Inca Empire. The complex is as many other Inca constructions made of large polished dry stone walls, each boulder carefully cut to fit together tightly without mortar. The site, at an altitude of 3701 m, was added as part of the city of Cusco to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983. Located on a steep hill that overlooks the city, it contains an impressive view of the valley to the southeast.
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in the English county of Wiltshire, about 3.2 km west of Amesbury and 13 km north of Salisbury. One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within earthworks. It is in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
Easter Island is a Polynesian island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeastern point of the Polynesian Triangle. A special territory of Chile that was annexed in 1888, Easter Island is famous for its 887 extant monumental statues, called moai, created by the early Rapanui people. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with much of the island protected within Rapa Nui National Park.
Chichen Itza (at the mouth of the well of the Itza) was a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya civilization. The archaeological site is located in the Mexican state of Yucatan. Chichen Itza was one of the largest Maya cities and it was likely to have been one of the mythical great cities, or Tollans, referred to in later Mesoamerican literature.

CHICAGO (WLS) --Big money will now be a big factor in the Chicago mayor's race. A $100,000 donation to his own campaign by millionaire businessman Willie Wilson has now lifted the campaign donation limit. That has opened the door for wealthy donors to get involved in the race very early in the campaign.
Without Wilson's donation-- or another candidate receiving a similar gift-- individuals would have been limited to giving $5,600; corporations and labor organizations $11,100; and political action committees $55,400.
That could benefit the candidates who have money now.
"If you have people with great resources they can really kind of flood the market early and get established and develop the narrative and maybe at times dictate the narrative because of the costs," said political strategist Thom Serafin.
The field of those vying to claim the mayor's office is already numerous and expected to grow. Mayor Rahm Emanuel already faces challenges from Wilson, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, former Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, Chicago Principals & Administrators Association President Troy LaRaviere and tech entrepreneur Neal Sales-Griffin.
"You know I hate to say a certainty, because nothing is certain in this business, but the odds are good that you get to a run off," Serafin said.
But for Chicagoans, the early lifting of the donations limit could mean the campaign for mayor could be in their living rooms, smart phones and mailboxes a lot sooner, leading to voter fatigue with the election still almost a year away.
It's just more ads, more negativity, people are exhausted by the amount of political ads they see. I think it's felt almost like the 2016 election just went straight into 2018, it never really ended," said Sarah Brune, Executive Director, Illinois Campaign for Political Reform. "And now that we already have a very expensive general election on our hands this year the fact that this will just continue until 2019 may cause some fatigue for voters."
Sarah Grune with the watchdog group Campaign for Political Reform said it was just a matter of time before the donations cap was lifted by someone making the $100,000 donation.
But when you add the mayor's race to the general election for governor, voters could be bombarded with advertising of one kind or another from now until February and even after that if there is a runoff.

Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.
The very deep did rot – Oh Christ!
That ever this should be.
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs,
Upon the slimy sea.
Coleridge's poem was written in 1834. During the 19th century, cholera spread across the world from its original reservoir in the Ganges delta in India. Six subsequent pandemics killed millions of people across all continents. The current (seventh) pandemic started in South Asia in 1961 and reached Africa in 1971 and the Americas in 1991. Cholera is now endemic in many countries. In Yemen - cholera is pandemic.
The cholera outbreak in Yemen has become the largest and fastest-spreading outbreak of the disease in modern history, with a million cases expected by the end of the year and at least 600,000 children likely to be affected. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported more than 815,000 suspected cases of the disease in Yemen and 2,156 deaths. About 4,000 suspected cases are being reported daily, more than half of which are among children under 18. Children under five account for a quarter of all cases.
- Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal disease that can kill within hours if left untreated.
- Severe cases need rapid treatment with intravenous fluids and antibiotics.
- Provision of safe water and sanitation is critical to control the transmission of cholera and other waterborne diseases.
- Cholera is an easily treatable disease. The majority of people can be treated successfully through prompt administration of oral rehydration solution (ORS). The WHO/UNICEF ORS standard sachet is dissolved in 1 litre (L) of clean water. Adult patients may require up to 6 L of ORS to treat moderate dehydration on the first day.
Over 19 million Yemenis no longer have access to clean water. Without rehydration through salts and clean water, the disease spreads like wildfire. The Yemeni government stopped funding the public health department in 2016: many doctors and hospital staff have not been paid for more than a year. Healthcare has since been provided mainly by international groups. Their progress has been hampered by conflict.
The most of the children of Yemen do not celebrate Christmas. Many of them may not live until the end of the year. Who cares? WHO cares – there is a continual appeal for aid to provide ORS packs and to pipe in clean water supply. When you consider buying that extra gift this year, consider helping Save the Children to provide a ceramic water filter for a family and help stop the spread of this virulent disease. https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/yemen-crisis
Here in the West, we believe that fresh, clean water is our human right. When our local water supply became infected with cryptosporidium, we were able to buy clean, bottled water. Eventually we were compensated. In Yemen over one million people will be infected by cholera by the end of 2017. Many will die. Death from cholera is preventable.
Yemen lies awash
with parasitic conflict:
Open the floodgates.
Thanks for reading. Please pass this on to your friends and family. Adele

Liverpool wing-back Martin Kelly has reportedly rejected a contract extension with the Reds, according to the Daily Mirror. The 22-year-old, who made his England debut earlier this year, has 18 months left on his present deal at Anfield and the club offered the youngster £35,000 per week to re-sign.
Kelly, who is out of action with a knee ligament injury, now joins fellow Liverpool academy graduate Raheem Sterling in rejecting new deals with the Merseyside club. The report also claims that the Merseyside outfit finds the high salaries being paid to big-money signings such as Stewart Downing are causing problems in dealings with other players.
Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers has stated he is confident Sterling will sign a new contract with the Reds soon.
"No, [I'm] not at all [concerned. That will be resolved I'm sure, fairly soon. He's a kid who has got this special ability so that no matter what is going on, he doesn't get too involved with it. He focuses on his football. Hopefully, it stays that way," Goal.com quoted the Northern Irishman as saying.
Rodgers: I Would Never Take Suarez's Passion Away
Rodgers also insisted he would never tell Luis Suarez to control his passion for the game. The Uruguayan, who missed a league game last week through suspension after reaching five yellow cards, was booked again for dissent in the 1-3 home defeat to Aston Villa.
"He is a passionate lad. I didn't think he deserved to be booked. He had a couple of incidents that he protested about that went unpunished, to be fair - and then he was the one who was [punished]. I would never take that passion out of his game. That's what makes him the player he is," the club website quoted Rodgers as saying.
"He has picked up some bookings this season but some of those were needless by the referees. He got booked away at Sunderland for diving when it clearly wasn't a dive," the manager added.

Developing an application is quite easy today. The access to online resources and tutorials about app development and the availability of app development tools help developers.
The language you choose
Apps are developed to perform either some simple tasks or some complicated tasks. There are some straightforward tasks that could be automated with the help of an app. Take the Bluetooth feature for example. Almost everyone knows how to turn on bluetooth on windows 10. But there are ways to build an app to trigger the Bluetooth on or off based on a given condition. And there are apps that help track finances or perform such critical activities as well. No matter what app you develop choosing the right language is the first main step. Some languages allow you to add extra layers in order to enhance the performance. If it is flexibility you want then there are various languages which offer you that. The type of app being developed, the features you want on the app, the security and the customization required would all determine the choice. Also, the need for a standard library narrows down the options in a few cases.
Right tools and the graphics library
Depending on the type of images you would like on the app and the colors and textures you plan to use you would have to choose the suitable graphics library as well. Consider the best options for the modern GPUs.
Finally, the development tool you choose has the biggest influence on the end product. The way you implement the algorithm, the length, and the complexity of the code and the running time would all depend on the chosen development tool. Windows development technologies have now evolved to make the app development interface programmer friendly while also making it easy to create apps that are user-friendly.

It took about thirty seconds of being in my former community to re-learn why health systems fail to have much influence on them.
My cousin asked what I do. I explained about Bridging Health & Community, saying that we looked at why health systems failed to connect with low-income communities. He just shrugged and said it's because no one cares what they have to say.
That's it. Done. Nothing more to look at. No one in the community, he intimated, has much time for what people in the health system have to say about their health and how to protect it. Simple.
I realise that's a simplification. It's not true to say that no one cares. But I suspect it's pretty accurate to say that very few can care in light of all of the other things they have to care about.
The paradox in all this, though, surfaced when my uncle came round and told us about his heart attack. He shared about how he's been weak ever since and how that's made him slow down and ultimately retire. In relaying his story, though, he talked about how the heart attack led to him having "black blood" in his system, and how that'd changed his skin tone; he'd lost the vibrant pink that characterised his energetic face over the years.
Medical stuff, like the "black blood", is the stuff of stories, of personal narratives; It's part of people's identities or ways to explain their circumstances. It's interwoven into culture, intimately, both personal and collective. And so, while "no one cares" what people in the health system have to say, medicine is integral to people's identities.
This paradox fascinates me. How is it that people and communities see medical matters as integral to their lives and yet have little time for the systems we've created around medical science?
Or, looking at it the other way, how is it that we've created systems around medical science that are divorced from the medical aspects of people's identities, cultures, and lives?
It feels to me the answer is something along the lines of 'enlightenment too far'. Clearly, the age of reason is a good thing, especially how it has disconnected us from the hocus pocus parts of religion and the tyranny of state. But reason alone is an insensitive instrument with which to understand people. Hocus pocus and tyranny, although abhorrent to a reasonable person, are normal parts of life. Looking at life without appreciating them - or, at worst, disdaining and dismissing them - means to not see life at all.
And that, ultimately, means not seeing people and communities.
Is that really enlightened?

CBRE Takes the Lead in Energy Efficiency for Commercial Real Estate Buildings
NEWSROOM: Ethical Performance
CAMPAIGN: Best Practice
CONTENT: Article
The world's biggest commercial real estate company, which manages a staggering five billion square feet of space worldwide, has been repeatedly honored for its sustainability achievements, and the awards keep rolling in.
This, says Dave Pogue, CB Richard Ellis Group's Global Director of Corporate Responsibility, is in part due to the company's extensive training efforts to ensure that staff doesn't just talk sustainability, but thoroughly understand it. "They are fully prepared to promote the values of sustainability to our clients," he says.
CBRE is a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company headquartered in Los Angeles, serving real estate owners, investors and occupiers. "Commercial buildings consume a significant share of all energy used nationwide," says Pogue. "As an industry leader, we have both the opportunity and a responsibility to lead the market in energy efficiencies."
By proactively seeking certified green space for their own occupancy, reducing office size by eliminating assigned offices and workstations and promoting a paperless environment, CBRE directly demonstrates their corporate commitment to sustainable workspace.
