The Romantic age was one of anger and its consequences: revolution and reaction, terror and war. Andrew M. Stauffer explores the changing place of anger in the literature and culture of the period, as Englishmen and women rethought their relationship to the aggressive passions in the wake of the French Revolution. Drawing on diverse fields and discourses such as aesthetics, politics, medicine, and the law, and tracing the classical legacy the Romantics inherited, Stauffer charts the period's struggle to define the relationship of anger to justice and the creative self. In their poetry and prose, Romantic authors including Blake, Coleridge, Godwin, Shelley, and Byron negotiate the meanings of indignation and rage amidst a clamorous debate over the place of anger in art and in civil society. This innovative book has much to contribute to the understanding of Romantic literature and the cultural history of the emotions.
Reviews & endorsements
"Stauffer's book has so much to tell us, not just about the subject of Romantic anger, but also about the very nature of human nature."
Stephen C. Behrendt, University of Nebraska, Eighteenth-Century LifeSee more reviews
"...A study that is educative and stimulating, offering a detailed and compelling picture of the 'complex history...of negotiations regarding power, justice and the creative self' that emerges from the study of Romantic anger."
Alan Rawes, University of Manchester, Romanticism
"Stauffer's text brings forth a seminal study on Romantic anger that accomplishes an essential role in Romantic scholarship, placing his interpretations on anger within the context of cultural understanding."
Linda Reesman, City University of New York, Romanticism on the Net
"Anger, Revolution, and Romanticism is a brilliant analysis of 'anger management' in the Romantic period...[Stauffer] locates a literary rhetoric of anger in the wake of the French Revolution and connects this both to political language and to metaphors of anger in Romantic writing more generally as well as to medical theory and practice. "
Orianne Smith and Matthew Scott, This Year's Work in English Studies
Anger, Revolution and Romanticism is a thoughtful and wide-ranging study of an absorbing topic. This book will be long valued for its nuances exploration of the ever-timely question of how words on the page aim to inflict violence and cause harm."
-Kim Wheatley, College of William and Mary, 1650-1850: Ideas, Inquiries, and Aesthetics in the Early Modern Era

The Impending Official Launch of Capital Smart City
Capital Smart City is one particular real estate development where investors have seen their expectations met. Even more interesting is the expectation that there is no breather expected in demand and transaction volume any time soon. The sentiments are based on some valid reasons, and its appears that existing and potential buyers are also convinced that they will continue to see their investment in Capital Smart City grow during years to come. In the meanwhile, gains seen in the short term are also tempting.
Project details
The project is located on Lahore-Islamabad Motorway M-2 near Thalian Interchange, while it also touches Chakri Road in the south east. It is highly likely that the society will have one of its entrances on Chakri Road opposite Blue World City.
In the meanwhile, the developer is also looking to set up a dedicated interchange on M-2 to arrange for a better and more accessible entry point. Currently, the society is approximately 12 kilometres away from the airport.the developer has submitted an application with the National Highway Authority to construct an interchange on M-2. While more information is still awaited about this, the need for this interchange isn't urgent as the society is far from becoming livable in the immediate future.
Market demand and trends
The demand is recorded to be the highest for 5-marla plots, for which the inventory has run out. Seeing the high demand for smaller plots, the developer introduced 7-marla and 12-marla plots as well. And that's not all, as over 70% of the stock stock for 7-marla plots has been sold out, with the remaining running out at a fast rate.
Since the project is not yet in the shape to attract end users, most of the active buyers are either short-term investors or those looking to get the bigger piece of pie by waiting for at least a year. In the meanwhile, rates of plots introduced in the old booking continue to increase with significant premiums added to the original rates.
Why all this frenzy?
The answer to this lies in the fact that the developer has been smartly launching its products in the pre-launch phase, while it continued to increase its authorised agents at the same time. So far, over 22 agents have gotten on board as authorised dealers for Capital Smart City and more are on the road to it. Our sources have revealed that most of these agents got on board during the second quarter of the year. That was also when the demand started to pick up at a more noticeable rate.
Well, the biggest reason why so many buyers and agents are excited to stay updated about the project is that its official launch looms close. The developer is looking at the possible dates that could be most suited to increasing the buyers' engagement. Our sources believe that it could be before Eid-ul-Adha or shortly after it. The final date in this regard will soon be shared with the authorised agents and as soon as we get our hands on the information.
A look at rates
With the announcement of the official launch, premiums on existing and old bookings will increase. While many believe it could be more noticeable, the safe estimate given by the sources ranges from 10% to 15%. Here are the market rates of plots launched under the latest booking by the developer:
|Plot size
|Booking amount
|Total price
|5 marlas
|10 marlas

Using your asset data to drive greater maintenance outcomes
Here's an industry secret: digital maintenance isn't just filling out forms on your smartphone. Reductions in asset operation costs, regaining control of unused data, and boosts to productivity, don't come from the commonality of iPhones and laptops in your workplace. True value lies in connecting the office to the field through digital solutions.
While few companies are doing this optimally, the organisations at the top of their field are turning to emerging tech to stay competitive. To join them, you can implement digitisation through the collection of data to drive greater maintenance outcomes. While maintenance reports feature data that can help individuals and organisations make more impactful decisions on an asset's health, the reality is that this data lives on papers that pile up over decades throughout an asset's life.
Organisations are losing critical operational data with no simple way to find or utilise it.
RedEye gives the control of data back to organisations. In the palm of your hand, you gain access to all related asset documents, checklists, and forms from any location. Assets have linked information in an easy to manage hierarchy, unifying data and becoming more relevant as you work.
What does this mean for your workflow?
For maintenance managers, it's vital that you equip your field workers with the right information in order optimise your asset's health. When a worker starts a job, field teams will have access to the entire data-set linked to the asset they're inspecting. Your team will have complete oversight over:
Know where your assets live, viewable in a map-view on all mobile and web platforms.
Damaged parts and problems are reported in the issue views section. This allows you to document and attach media files such as images, video, and audio from onsite, providing realtime visibility back to the office.
Tag your assets and jobs with searchable phrases and metadata, allowing you to add unique values to any item.
Add audio, video, or images to any job or issue. Sometimes it's too difficult and time-consuming to describe issues in words. Media attachments allow you to create an accurate and complete story from any location.
Documents and Forms:
Templated inspection forms and engineering documents are available on all mobile platforms. This ensures routine checks and inspections are completed to the standard you expect.
Creating a single source of asset data finally gives you the insights you need to understand your asset health and work history. With the ability to visualise your work completion data, you'll be able to identify patterns and begin taking preventative action.
If you're unsure how to implement digitisation to drive greater maintenance outcomes, our team are always happy to consult with you and answer any questions. firstname.lastname@example.com

Faraway, so faraway that no one can remember, there is a hidden glade. This is where the autumn gets its inspiration. In a warm autumn day I was traversing mountains and hills to find the piece in my soul. One more step and here it is – the secret place of Madame Fall. A cozy, calm and picturesque pier. A place to escape !

Who doesn't love New Orleans? After all, the Big Easy is known for some of most famous haunts and watering holes in the world. However, the city is more than beads, cocktails, and Bourbon Street.
New Orleans is filled with fascinating museums, saturated with art and bursting with music. If you are looking to experience New Orleans without the hustle and bustle of the usual tourist attractions, there is a wide selection of off-the-beaten-path attractions to be found...if you know where to look.
So, once you've had your fill of Cafe du Monde beignets and hurricanes on Bourbon Street (and other quintessential New Orleans experiences), lace up your walking shoes to find these hidden treasures in the Crescent City.
Ogden Museum of Southern ArtWhether you visit a city for the first or fortieth time, museums are a great way to understand local culture, art and history. In New Orleans, the first museums that usually come to mind are The National World War II Museum or the New Orleans Museum of Art. Although these are incredible establishments and deserve a visit, The Ogden Museum is home to the largest and most comprehensive collections of Southern art in the country.
Tipitina'sSince 1977 Tipitina's has been a landmark for local musicians and lively music affectionately known as "Tip's." Located in the Uptown neighborhood, Tipitina's name was taken from a song by New Orleans legend Professor Longhair. Tipitina's history is intrinsically New Orleans.
Historic Hotel Chateau LeMoyneWhenever I travel, I seek out history wherever I can find it--even in my hotels. If you like to rest your head in historic hotels, too, you won't be disappointed in New Orleans. Instead of making reservations at Hotel Monteleone, try on the Chateau LeMoyne for size.
Found on Dauphine Street, Chateau LeMoyne is an off-Bourbon resort for French Quarter travelers. Dating back to 1847, the hotel has everything that a New Orleans visitor would want: a pool for those hot, summer days, live nightly jazz music in the Lounge, a hotel restaurant serving up New Orleans classics and free Wi-Fi for guests. Perfect for weddings, conferences or just a weekend away, Chateau LeMoyne's superb service and accommodations make it a favorite of locals and visitors alike.
New Orleans City ParkFound in the Mid-City neighborhood, New Orleans City Park is a small oasis in otherwise bustling city. Over 150 years old and consisting of 1,300 acres, City Park is one of the largest public parks in the country, twice of the size of Central Park. A visitor to New Orleans can enjoy an entire day rambling through City Park.
|Take a gondola ride in the park!
Frenchman StreetIf you are visiting the Big Easy and Bourbon Street doesn't sound like your cup of tea, there are other thoroughfares to enjoy the city's lax drinking laws and ubiquitous music. Most locals don't traverse Bourbon Street regularly but Frenchman Street is another story. Located on the outskirts of the French Quarter, Frenchman Street is home to some of the city's favorite venues like The Blue Nile, The Spotted Cat and The Maison. Littered with bands, restaurants, and art markets, Frenchman Street is where the locals go for a night on the town.

Montepulciano: 7 Sommeliers Make The Case for Italy's Forgotten Wine
Here's the deal: Montepulciano is a picturesque town in Tuscany, once considered among the world's best producers of red wine. Even Francophile Thomas Jefferson counted their wines among his favorites, long fighting to keep his stellar stocked. Their star product? Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a complex, rustic red that helped secure their place as Italy's first DOCG — the highest classification for Italian wines.
So, why have you never heard of it? The Sangiovese-based blend is often confused with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a soft, fruit-forward red from the south of Italy. And that — combined with the region's 1960′s trend toward mass production — allowed Montepucliano's high quality neighbors, Montalcino and Chianti, to shine.

Madrid, Spain - Listen up, cheaters! Forget pillow talk.
Now there's a whole new conversation to have in the bedroom, and the sheets are doing the talkin'!
Yeah, move over pillows... now the mattress can sing like a canary!
Yep, a company in Spain has come up with a high tech "wonder of slumber" that detects if your partner is cheating, and they coined the perfect slogan: "If your partner isn't faithful, then at least your mattress will be."
Geez, what's next? A mattress that will actually light a cigarette and join you for a quick smoke, too?
The "Smarttress" features a "Lover Detection System" using advanced ultrasonic sensors inside the mattress-- and when it detects suspicious activity it sends notification to your phone to let you know there's something funky going on in your bedroom!
The company has said, "You can't imagine the tests we have done to make sure the system works correctly."
Oh, we can imagine, alright!
Now cheaters can no longer cover-up their dirty laundry when they get busy under-the-covers.
Of course, there's no word on how to handle the possibility of a false alarm or the aftermath of that....with an enraged jealous lover likely going berzerk.
But you can be pretty sure about one thing with a smart mattress, one way or another, your partner is going to rest in peace!

"Book Club for the Homeless"
People magazine
August 10, 2009 issue
For years Peter Resnik [64], a high-powered Boston lawyer, passed homeless people walking through the park on his way to work. But in 2007 he struck up a casual conversation with one of them, Rob, and now they're the unlikeliest of friends. "As we talked about his life, I could identify with who he was as a person," Peter says. He and Rob (who doesn't want his last name used) had deep discussions about books that Peter brought, such as Water for Elephants and The Kite Runner. After Rob, 50, loaned one of the books to another homeless man last year, an idea was hatched. Peter and outreach worker Ron Tibbetts set up the book club (oasiscoalition.org).
Now every Tuesday, about eight men and women meet at a church for literary talk. During those hours, members gain confidence and build friendships--a welcome break from the harsh realities they face. "It takes my mind off my problems," says Jamie Johnson, 50, who lives in a rooming house. "I'm using my intelligence for something other than watching TV all the time." To Rob, who secured housing in February 2008, "Reading is refreshing to me, [but] the best part is the friendship.

Do you ever have one of those days? One of those days where you are sore, tired, and so is your spouse? We weren't tired for any of the reasons you are probably thinking of.
We were tired because we spent all day on Saturday building paver patio off the steps of our deck. This involved digging up a 11 by 12 section of grass with very established roots. The soil in our area is also very clay like. I won't bore you with details though.
We were able to build most of the patio on Saturday and by Saturday night both Mrs Rookie Dad and myself were extremely tired and our muscles ached. We settled down for an early evening and basically had to crawl into bed.
We were both hoping for a good night sleep when around 4am there was a very strong thunderstorm that made its way through our area. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal because I am able to sleep through storms. However, it is different now that I have a toddler.
Thunder waking up the Kid, he came running into our room looking for our protection from the storm. You would think that by now I would be used to sleeping with a toddler, however, I am not. Being kicked in the back and backhanded on the cheek makes for a very restless night sleep.
When morning decided to shine its ugly face we were even more sore and tired. I was walking around the house like I was a 90 year old man. I almost needed a walker to make it around the house.
As we were going throughout the day, the Kid was in rare form. He was being loud and just had more energy than normal. This would not have been a big deal if Mrs. Rookie Dad and I weren't so tired and sore. He was just being a toddler I realize that. We were not in the mood to be able to handle him being this way.
We were unable to be the parents that we strive to be. We couldn't play with him. We couldn't laugh and have a good time. He could tell that we were not feeling that great. But he still insisted on pushing our buttons.
We laugh about it now looking back. As the soreness subsided we became more active with the Kid and our day ended on a more positive note than it began. It was just one of those days that you just wish that you could have a mulligan and do it all over again.

Erich Korngold Revisited
My previous post speaks about a new CD of Erich Korngold's Violin Concerto. But in the last month I have also seen the following Korngold activity:
- Jun Iwasaki will perform the Violin Concerto with the Oregon Symphony Orchestra last weekend
- Glenn Dicterow will perform the Violin Concerto with Oklahoma City Philharmonic's upcoming classics concert
- Lara St. John performed the Violin Concerto with the Waukesha Symphony in January
- Covent Garden revived Korngold's opera Die tote Stadt in January
- Philippe Quint released a recording of the Violin Concerto on Naxos Records.
Erich Korngold was born in Austria-Hungary and is typically remembered for his film scores, Captian Blood (1935), The Prince And The Pauper (1937), The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) and The Sea Wolf (1941), to name a few. However, prior to moving to Hollywood, Korngold had success in Europe with his opera Die tote Stadt (1920).
His Violin Concerto (1945) is considered by many to be one of the best examples of a 20th century violin concerto. The music is lush and romantic and yet, challenging and thoughtful. While the reviews of the premiere in 1947 by Jascha Heifetz label Korngold "a Hollywood composer" in an attempt to be derogatory, he was not only integral in creating the sweeping Hollywood sound of the 30's & 40's, but wrote a vast number of classical works as well.
Erich Wolfgang Korngold died in 1957 thinking himself a forgotten composer. It's nice to see his music is once again getting performed, recorded and enjoyed.

Iggy Azalea - The New Classic
Since breaking last year after tirelessly working the underground rap scene, Iggy Azalea has promised to be a pop proposition to watch. Never has a debut album title fronted so much; of course, cockiness is part of the rap game and props to Azalea for going big and not going home - but, a few strong tracks aside, The New Classic is disappointingly middling.
Of course, Azalea doesn't need one TMF reviewer to validate her efforts with Top 20 singles and a million Instagram followers behind her. She's already done the hard work making it from rap battles in Miami (by way of Australia) to the MTV mainstream, so it makes complete sense that The New Classic is fully-tooled to position her as the successor to Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday rap princess. If only there was a little bit more canny charm on display alongside the swagger, rather than the patchy fillers that feel secondary to a goal of getting Iggy front and centre at awards ceremonies, dripping in the Tom Ford and Louboutins that she so readily namechecks.
What works here does so with easy sass, the prime example being current single 'Fancy' which teams an indefatigable Azalea up with Charlie XCX, herself clearly riding a chart-clout wave of bratty anthemic genius following last year's brush with Icona Pop. 'Fancy' is ridiculous but relish it, as it's the rare type of crossover to hark back to the minimalist future-pop glory days of The Neptunes and we might only get one or two more animals like it this year. Underground breakout 'Work' flips the bird to Miley's attention-seeking with a truly twerk-worthy four minutes, which remains a perfect calling card by displaying the sly sense of humour ("head over heels" anyone?) that is missing elsewhere.
Those are the aces in the deck, but there are other party favours. Opener 'Walk the Line' is a suitably stirring start (even if Azalea's 'I'm an underdog, me' schtick becomes tiresome by track three), 'Fuck Love' is silly but will sound Diplo-level immense after three tequilas, and 'Goddess' pits a warrior-woman flow against a backdrop of rock-rap guitars. Problems are inevitable though when you have that Rita girl (y'know, Rita Ora) on a track co-written by Katy Perry - would you be shocked by my assessment that it's a soulless slut-drop exercise that sounds like everything else on the Radio 1 playlist? Thankfully, the rave synths that briefly threaten to turn 'New Bitch' into a fully-fledged Calvin/Guetta 'banger' subside by the time the intro's done, meaning the Ora-ful 'Black Widow' retains pole position as #1 crass culprit (even if, ironically, it stands a good chance at reaching #1 in the charts). Could have done without the dire dancehall of 'Lady Patra', mind. *kisses teeth*
Haters gonna hate. The thing is, I wanted to like the record so much more. I'm a pop tart at heart so Azalea's whole gangsta Valley Girl persona instantly appealed to me, where it probably turned some listeners off straight away. She was here to make up for the crimes of Princess Superstar, to bring cunning and wit to the femme-rap game now that Minaj has had a Guetta makeover. I mean, closest contender Azealia Banks is expending more energy on Twitter than on her debut album, so it was all for Azalea to take. The promise is still there, but how many 'classics' does it take to deliver a real one?

Prior to reshoring: A duration analysis of foreign manufacturing ventures

MetadataShow full item record
This paper throws light on the determinants of the duration of manufacturing offshore experiences by US and European firms prior to reshoring. By applying survival analysis to a dataset of 249 offshoring experiences terminated with a relocation to the home country/region, we estimate the effects of different groups of survival determinants. Results highlight that contextual factors such as the industry, the home country, the host country, and the size of the firm significantly affect the duration of offshoring experiences. The likelihood of termination is in fact higher for the electronics and automotive industries, for small firms, for firms headquartered in Europe, and for offshoring to Asia. The analysis of the motivations for reshoring shows that quality issues experienced offshore emerge as the key factor giving rise to shorter offshore stays. Based on these empirical findings, a set of testable propositions is developed. In particular, we conjecture that the likelihood of termination of offshore manufacturing and the return to the home country may be accelerated by technology-based industries, small firm sizes, shrinking cost differentials and the psychic distance between home and host country, the organizational archetypes, and quality related motivations.

|View of the sunset from our balcony.
Ross and I have been doing a lot more night orienteering this past week. I think I've probably doubled my lifetime total of the number of night-o courses that I've done. Last weekend was Rodenloppet, which as I mentioned before, is a pairs night-o race. It was a perfect night for night-o, warm with no rain. It was fun mass starting with all the other teams and watching the other headlamps move through the darkness. Lisa and I ended up being the only team in our category, so we finished first, last and everything in between :) I had a really good time, although I was certainly the weakest link, due to my poor navigational abilities at night. I kept leading us right into the middle of swamps. One was almost waist deep and we both started to panic a bit! We did win a prize for first place - a thermos!
Ross ran with Rasa in the more competitive co-ed team category. Ross was impressed with Rasa's speed in the woods, as she led them a lot in the beginning of the race. They both had a good time and said they would do it again, which is a good sign! He wrote more about his race here. Rasa stayed with us for the weekend, which was fabulously fun. I was amused one night at the sight of Boris, Ross and Rasa all watching YouTube movies together. It was almost 1:00 in the morning, I was getting ready for bed :)
|Was it the shrimp running on a treadmill?
As I watch another beautiful sunset out the window, I'm going to stop writing and start dinner for tonight. I joined Linné's training group, which is responsible for planning and setting all of Linné's weekly trainings. Tonight is my first meeting with the group and we're meeting after tonight's training, an 8k night sprint. Therefore, I'm making my favorite orzo salad to bring with me to eat while we meet.

Every now and then I babble on to someone about this book, so although it's been a while, I decided it was time I got it out of my system and wrote a review!
I had no idea I loved zombie books! In fact, I'm not sure I do, but I do love this book 'Flesh' by Kylie Scott!
Holy erotic undead! Ok, calm down. The undead aren't doing anything erotic in this story.
But our three main characters, Ali, Daniel and Finn certainly make this a hot story and one not to forget! Escaping from the zombies, Daniel and Ali team up, and are joined by Finn.
The guys are hot, the situation is desperate, and did I mention women are in short supply?
I still love this book, and even though it's been in my library for a couple of years now, I rate it as one of my favorites!
Even if you aren't into zombies, this book is one not to miss!
(There is also a second book which follows this one – Skin, and the three characters from Flesh make an appearance. I've read it and highly recommend Skin also!)
Released October 2012 and I still haven't forgotten it!

Tiger Zinda Hai release postponed? Director Ali Abbas Zafar clarifies
Tiger Zinda Hai director refutes suggestions that the Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer is deferred due to the Central Board of Film Certifications' 68-day submission policy
Scheduled releases of Bollywood outings were affected recently after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) brought its 68-day submission policy to light. Amidst the controversy surrounding the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati, the Board highlighted that films must be submitted for reviewing 68 days prior to the release date. After recent releases like Firangi and Tera Intezar were apparently affected, rumours suggested that Tiger Zinda Hai too would be postponed. However, director Ali Abbas Zafar argues that his Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer will hit screens on December 22, as planned.'
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in Tiger Zinda Hai
"We have submitted the film [for certification] a long time ago. We should get our certificate soon. The only work that's pending is the addition of a few finishing touches to the final edit. The fine-tuning of the product goes on till the last day."
It is suggested that Zafar had submitted the film to the Board a minimum of 68 days before the scheduled release date. A trade pundit, on the condition of anonymity, tells mid-day, "Business for Tiger Zinda Hai will be lucrative. With [Vidya Balan's] Tumhari Sulu being the last big release, the audience is awaiting a blockbuster. TZH will be viewed [by the CBFC] this week, and should be passed with minimal cuts."

Putin pleased with development of RF-Venezuelan relations
(ITAR-TASS) - President Vladimir Putin said he is pleased with the development of Russian-Venezuelan relations, including military-technical cooperation.
At the expanded talks with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Thursday, Putin said, In our vis-Р°-vis meeting we noted the onward development of our relations. Trade turnover increases. Were finding new fields for cooperation, including military-technical interaction.
In his view, it is necessary to analyse the implementation of the earlier reached agreements. The Venezuelan presidents visit to Russia will give a new powerful impetus to the development of cooperation, President Putin pointed out, reports Trend.
Putin said Russia would develop military-technical cooperation with Venezuela. Our cooperation is not limited to the energy interaction; promising areas are the financial-investment sphere, machine-building, the ore mining and steel industry, chemistry, transport and, of course, military- technical cooperation.
Cooperation of Russia and Venezuela is not directed against third countries, our interaction is aimed at developing the economies and increasing the living standards of our countries population, the president stressed.
Russia will be a reliable partner of Venezuela, as of other partners in the international arena, he said.
President Chavez assured that he would develop military-technical cooperation with Russia. We are full of resolve to move forward in this direction.
At todays talks, we have reviewed a very good progress in the military-technical sphere, Chavez said. He thanked Putin for firm support in this area.
In the face of pressure and even an embargo (of the US against Venezuela), Russia has extended a hand to us, the Venezuelan leader said.
On the fifth of July, the Independence Day, the whole people in Venezuela rejoiced when two Su planes appeared in the sky. This gives us moral firmness, all the more so that we get the Kalashnikov submachine-guns that will replace rifles of the forties, when there were no parts, Chavez said.

National Museum of American History
14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW
United States
Dear Ms. Trowbridge:
In its meeting of 16 September, the Commission of Fine Arts reviewed the concept design for alterations to the National Museum of American History at 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, approving the modifications to the west terrace and Option 1.B for new windows in the west facade of the podium.
In their discussion, the Commission members noted the importance of aligning the masonry opening for the proposed upper windows with the full width of the existing lower windows, as shown in Option 1.B; they observed that a stepped window configuration would be inconsistent with the architectural logic of the existing building. The Commission enthusiastically supported the Smithsonian Institution's stated intention to reinstall the Alexander Calder stabile "Gwenfritz" in its original location in front of the west terrace; they urged that it be placed in a reflecting pool as it was originally conceived and displayed.
The Commission looks forward to review of the final submission. As always, the staff is available to assist you.

Wash and go
Most rides end up in an anonymous car park with no hosepipe or jet wash to hand, so the only option is to buy one of the best mobile pressure washers.
>>> Does jet washing really wreck your bike?
At a very basic level this can just be a bucket and brush. If you take a few big bottles of soapy water you will be able get the worst off but you will need to get your hands dirty and, if it's the middle of winter, pretty cold too. A thick (and long) pair of rubber gloves won't go amiss in this situation but if you really want to make the cleaning process a lot more pleasant it's worth investing in a portable bike cleaner.
These have been around for several years and most feature an internal water tank, mini hose and plug into the cigarette lighter. However, they're not that powerful and cleaning can often be as involved as using the bucket and brush, your hands will still get cold.
The best mobile pressure washers 2020
Thankfully things have moved on and the very latest portable washers now feature cordless battery power. These are not cheap but both of the washers featured here can hose off a bike in a matter of minutes and if that means less time freezing your arse off, we definitely think it's a price worth paying.
Worx Cordless Hydroshot Pressure Cleaner, £149.99
SPECIFICATION: Weight 1.85kg • Pressure 25bar, Water tank: no • Contact: worx.com
Unlike Bosch Fontus, the Worx Hydroshot doesn't have a water tank but it does have a 10m water hose, which you can dip into any third-party water source. It also has a filter on the end, so you can use a dirty water such as from a puddle, stream, lake and apparently the sea! You also get a fold up bucket, into which you can collect water, you can also clip a standard garden hose and there's also an adapter for the bottom of the lance to screw on a mineral water bottle. If there's water out there the Hydroshot will let you access it.
The Hydroshot lance has three pressure settings and the nozzle rotates to offer five different spray features from a powerful jet stream to a wide fan spray for dousing the bike. Worx claims 2.5Mpa water pressure (about 25bar), which is twice that of the Bosch but in use both units felt pretty similar.
Powering the Hydroshot is one of Worx's Powershare 20V MAX lithium-ion battery batteries, which means it can be shared with other Worx devices. The Hydroshot is even available as a 'body only' for around £80, should you have a device with one of the batteries included.
In terms of cleaning power, the Hydroshot is more powerful than a garden hose, so will shift stubborn dirt but it's not as damaging to paint work and bearings as a full-on jet wash. There's plenty of grunt to clean mud from tyres and most of the cavities on your bike and on a single charge run time is over 20mins, which weI found is enough time to clean one bike really thoroughly.
When using the Hydroshot it feel quite as solid as the Bosch but it's half the price and, being able to tap into multiple water sources, is a bit plus when cleaning at the end of a ride.
Rating: 10/10
Bosch Fontus, £269.99
SPECIFICATION: Weight 7kg • Pressure: 15bar, water tank: 15L • Contact: bosch-do-it.com/gb
At 7kg the Bosch Fontus is about the same size and weight of a medium wheelie bag, it even comes with a pull-out handle and sturdy wheels so you can drag it about. However, once you fill the tank it tips the scales at over 20kg so getting it in and out of a vehicle is an effort but it does have a 3.5meter hose so you can leave the unit inside when cleaning in the field.
Unlike the Hydroshot, which just comes with a bag, the Fontus has built in storage for the hose, spray gun, smart brush head and battery pack. The spray gun is also smaller and easier to handle and comes with four different spray patterns. Combine these with the three power modes and you to really dial down the pressure when cleaning delicate areas like bearings and suspension or boost it for stripping dirt from your frame and tyres. Bosch says the Fontus delivers a claimed pressure of about 12bar (1.5mpa), which is about half that of the Hydroshot but running both units side-by-side, the Bosch actually seemed slightly more powerful.
Plugged into the Fontus is one of Bosch's standard 18V Lithium-Ion batteries, which is interchangeable with other Bosch tools and accessories. The company claims a one hour run time but since we got through a tank of water in about 10-15minutes, it just meant we didn't have to charge it that often between cleans.
The Bosch Fontus is heavier, more expensive and less portable than the Worx Hydroshot but it feels top quality, has a greater run time and you don't have to hunt around for a water source.
Rating: 9/10
Also worthy of a mention…
Mobi V-15 Mobile Washer, £99.99
The Mobi V-15 is one of those bits of kit that deserves a space in the boot of every rider. Simple to use and with neat attachments it makes cleaning your bike at the end of a ride a much less painful process.
Read the full review of the Mobi V15 Mobile Washer
Best mobile pressure washers 2020: verdict
Although the difference between these two cordless cleaners is basically having a water source included or not, in reality it's not much of a big deal simply because you can buy a 23litre plastic jerry on-line can for about tenner. Stash this in the boot of your car with the Hydroshot and you'll have more than enough water to clean several bikes.
The Bosch Fontus is slightly less portable than the Hydroshot but it feels better quality and has some really nice features, like the compact brush/gun, pull out handle and internal storage. It's also a proper stand-a-lone system, which makes a difference if you don't want to lug around lots of separate containers or have to scout about for a water source.
Either of these cordless cleaners will make washing you bike less of a chore but the Hydroshot will cost you less and is the better choice if you're pushed for space or struggle to access a reliable water source.

Australian Gary Redman won first place in the international college category with an aircraft he named OIONOS for the birds of prey the ancient Greeks watched to foretell the future. A commuter, his design seats 24 passengers clustered beneath an enormous canopy that floods the cabin with natural light. The cockpit, which looks something like an eel protruding from the right side of the plane, is separated entirely from the cabin for an added measure of security.
"The aviation design industry in Australia is moribund," says Redman. "Aviation in Australia has declined to the point that we as a nation have become an outpost for singular parts manufacture and aircraft repair. This competition allowed me to show that Australian universities turn out students as good as anywhere. Consequently, instead of having 200 million people in front of me, I now am one of 20 or so students showing a direction for the future of aviation."
Keep an eye on the Langley Research Center's website for news of the 2008-2009 competition—the Fundamental Aeronautics Program will announce the terms of the contest by September 1. So far, they've allowed only that they'll be looking for supersonic designs.

News - Middle East
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has lauded the Palestinian nation and its resistance forces for forcing Israel to submit to its ceasefire terms after Israel launched a two-day assault on the Gaza Strip last week.
The Iranian foreign minister made the comments while speaking with Leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad Ziyad Al-Nakhaleh on Sunday.
Zarif also decried Tel Aviv's aggression against Palestinians, specifically in Gaza.
Last Tuesday, Israel launched an assault on Gaza after assassinating senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander Baha Abu al-Ata.
At least 34 Palestinians, including eight children and three women, were killed while another 110 were also injured as a result of the ensuing Israeli attacks.
Palestinian resistance forces responded by firing more than 450 rockets into Israel, effectively paralyzing Tel Aviv and many other vast parts of Israel.
The fighting came to a halt on Thursday after Islamic Jihad announced that Israel had submitted to its ceasefire conditions.
Tel Aviv has since violated the truce by carrying a number of airstrikes on the embattled enclave.
Netanyahu warns of 'unprecedented emergency'
The latest flare-up in Gaza comes as many observers have suggested that Tel Aviv's short-lived attack on Gaza may have been intentionally timed to serve Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political interests.
Pundits believe that Netanyahu may have sought to not only boost his popularity by adopting a tough tone against resistance groups in Gaza, but also torpedo any chance of a minority government being formed between his political rival Benny Gantz and the mainly Arab Joint List alliance.
The speculations come as Netanyahu's future tenure as prime minster is uncertain as he has not been able to form a majority government following Israel's September 17 election. His political rival, Benny Gantz, has until Wednesday to form a coalition government.
An alliance between Gantz and the Arab-dominated Joint List would effectively allow Gantz to form a government coalition without Netanyahu, terminating his 10-year-rule over the Israeli regime.
Speaking on Sunday, the Israeli prime minster spoke of an "unprecedented emergency" and a "historic danger to Israel's security" in reference to the probable formation of such an alliance between Gantz and the Joint List.
He said that such a government would "rely on supporters of Islamic Jihad and Hamas," in an apparent jab at Arab lawmakers in the Joint List.
Gantz responded to Netanyahu's remarks shortly after.
"Netanyahu, I see you've used the term 'emergency' because there is a chance that your rule will be over soon," he said.

The significance of the reps: She was a teacher for 5 years; the tragedy happened in room 10 on 12/14/12; and her life got cut short at the age of 27.
The workout was initially posted on Facebook by MyBoxLive with a call to athletes to do the workout in her memory on December 29, 2012 at their local boxes. The event creator posted the WOD with this comment: "I'm a teacher myself, and I felt helpless when I was sitting in my own classroom hearing the news that children and teachers were murdered. I looked at my students and couldn't help but think what if…I can only hope that I would have the courage to do what Victoria did."

slight delay?
Tonight's post is still on the art table, not quite finished, but as it is for a client to give at a wedding shower tomorrow, it will be done very early tomorrow morning. Work has been pouring in this week, and I'm a little behind on quotes and paperwork. If I can get it posted by noon tomorrow, you will see it then, otherwise, I'll catch you back here on Friday. And do stay tuned for upcoming projects, which include a swing set, a chicken coop, and I'm not sure what else. Odd? This is Minnesota, and I live in the equivalent of Lake Woebegone, where people give painted milk cans as wedding gifts. Sure I can appreciate elegance and sophistication, but I love living among people who know how to have a real, good time! I can't wait to find out what I'm doing to the chicken coop!

11 Inspiring Quotes That Will Give You A Much Needed Push In Life
Life can be hard at times. No matter what decisions we make in life – good or bad, at some point or another we get a feeling of being lost in the humdrum of life.
During these times, all you need is a little push that will give you the energy to move forward in life, to beat the failures and try again, to be ready for all the challenges that life throws at you.
Here are some of the best motivational quotes that will hold you up and give the inspiration to fight back.
Quote 1
Sometimes we mistake our present as the future but it is not true. The present is a gift – cherish this treasure. So what if you don't get the results you expected – just hold yourself up, breathe and enjoy!
Quote 2
Never regret the mistakes that you made, just keep the lesson. Nobody is perfect – bad decisions harden you for the good things awaiting in the future. Don't let something from the past take away the present from you.
3. Quote 3
You know what is the best thing about life – it moves on. If you don't like a job, then, look for another. If you feel suffocated in a relationship, then, have the courage to walk out of it. Change is inevitable – Decide and work fo the change that you want to see in your life.
Quote 4
No matter how bad the last book was, we still pick a new book another day. Similarly, if you keep thinking about your past and regretting about things that you did yesterday – you will never find the courage to move ahead. Learn the lessons from your past mistakes and start a new day with a fresh start.
Quote 5
Sometimes in life no matter how much hard work we put for something, the result might not be what we expected. Life always gives us multiple routes – if on one road you were stopped by a roadblock, then, don't give up just take some other route with same passion and energy.
Quote 6
Often in the struggles of the daily life, we forget who we are. It's okay to get lost at times, not all who wander aimlessly are lost. Have a clear mind and believe in yourself and your dreams.
Quote 7
We, adult, might be practical and rational but often we misinterpret the simplicity of life. In such situations, just try talking to a toddler and you will be bewildered at the careless and happy life of this little soul.
Quote 8
Not all arguments need an answer, sometimes victory lies in walking off from a pointless conversation. We often misunderstand the meaning of life – the real meaning lies in the ability to listen to understand and not just reply.
Quote 9
Overthinking tends to frustration and anger. It's better to switch yourself from all worldly distractions and go somewhere, where there is nobody to judge you, to talk to you, to rule you.
Quote 10
Sometimes one step can show you the right way. Your life does not work on the blueprint that you created in your mind. Walk and see how life intends to unfold its mysteries.
Quote 11
Miracles happen, all you need is to believe in them. Failing is much better than losing all your dreams. Juts keep going, who knows what miracle God is working on for you right now.
