9 Famous Artists' Studios You Can Visit, from Jackson Pollock to Barbara Hepworth
Artsy Editorial
A prominent figure in the Bay Area's Conceptual art movement, David Ireland made sculptures and installations from crude everyday objects such as cement and disused parts of furniture. Ireland's work was sometimes described as espousing a "dumb-object" style, in which the artist announced a material's meaninglessness with deadpan humor, assigning a voice to objects that had been overlooked. In the mid-1970s, while in graduate school in San Francisco, Ireland met other figures in the Conceptual art movement, including Tom Marioni, Paul Kos, and Terry Fox. An artist who merged art and life, Ireland was well known for his house, 500 Capp Street in San Francisco, which he bought in 1975 and spend more than 30 years transforming into a work of art. "I got into the house and saw it not in an architectural way, but a sculptural way," he once said.

No...but you can download the Flat Field plug-in for DNG in Lightroom at Adobe Labs.
Since the correction is stored as opcode in the DNG metadata, could I actually send the DNG file to my editor without the calibration file?
played with it a tiny bit earlier today. Any chance a third processing option could be introduced that corrects for fall-off ONLY, instead of the current "fall-off & colour", so that it could be used as an alternative to Equalight?
I can't work out how to do this. I tried to use the plugin manager but it put a read dot against the plugin name and said it was broken. So I tried executing the exe file and all that did was flash up a dos box and nothing happened. i can't find any installation instructions. Tried running as admin - no difference. Using Vista 32bit.
Possibly not the right place but...Any recommendations for the type of diffusion filter to use in this process? Ta.
Hi Dave, is it possible the download failed? Was wondering if you could re-download and try again. You need to unzip the file first, so you have DNGFlatField.lrplugin sitting on your drive. Then in the Lr plug-in manager, you click "Add" and navigate to where that .lrplugin file and click OK. That should load it and make it available for use in the Library module.
I'm reading this and checking links with interest. I have only a vague understanding of LCCs. Is this something that has any application to 35mm dSLRs?
Any resources where I can learn more about this?
I downloaded the file again, unzipped it to my c: drive. Open LR4.1, file/plugins manager. Clicked "Add", navigated to the new folder, selected it. The plugin appears in the plugins list but with a red traffic light against it. Underneath is a message: "Installed but not working". In the right side of the plugin manager is another message: "Version (unknown). This plugin is malfunctioning and cannot be used". Any other suggestions?
Hi Scott,There are 2 elements to LCC, light fall-off and color cast. Light fall-off can be caused by the lens (vignetting at a given aperture, and corner rays travel further and strike the sensor more oblique), and by the sensor design (micro-lenses or not, and light tunneling within and cross-talk between sensels). The larger the sensor, and the more oblique the light rays could strike the sensor, the larger the chance of light fall-off and color-cast is. An LCC correction can also be used to reduce sensor dust shadows for a given aperture, but then the LCC image is not blurred before use so noise can become more of an issue. Here a test is described which can quantify the issue. Cheers,Bart

Congress, Finally Curious About NSA Spying, Discovers That It's Even More Widespread Than Previously Believed
from the and,-to-think,-they-could-have-asked-before dept
However, others in Congress, have suddenly become curious about what the NSA is doing, and they got a secret briefing, which apparently opened quite a few eyes. Rep. Linda Sanchez has noted that what's become public is "just the tip of the iceberg," suggesting that the NSA is going much, much further with its surveillance capabilities than what has already been revealed. That isn't all that surprising, but it is depressing (and ridiculous) that Congress is only curious enough to explore this issue now, despite many, many claims by fellow members of Congress that this was happening. I appreciate the fact that Reps. like Sanchez are now seeking the truth, but it's distressing that our own representatives ignored these points for so long, despite their colleagues trying to highlight the issue. Now, hopefully, this means that Congress will being to do something to stop the abuse.
Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.) said lawmakers learned "significantly more" about the spy programs at the National Security Agency (NSA) during a briefing on Tuesday with counterterrorism officials.Well, what is out in the media... so far. Glenn Greenwald has already indicated that there are dozens of additional stories and revelations to come out of the other documents he has in his possession.
"What we learned in there," Sanchez said, "is significantly more than what is out in the media today."

I am attempting to translate a passage from John Wyclif (14th C) and really struggling. Any help would be appreciated (not for homework, I am a PhD student in the UK writing my thesis).
Sic igitur nedum rex et papa, sed omnia membra ecclesie commilitancia, faciunt quicquid meritorie fit a suo toto ad quod adiuvant, ut multi homines et eorum quilibet trahit navem.
I think it begins "Therefore thus much more king and pope, but all members of the church being comrades in arms (or fellow soldiers) ...?
I'm not sure how to translate the quicquid ... adiuvant clause. And the trahit navem has me confused. I'm taking omnia ... as the subject of faciunt and think the quicquid clause is the object.
Any pointers suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated! I'm learning so feel free to help me learn rather than give me the answers if you prefer

Hi! We have had some robot generated SPAM over the months with members having repeated threads with blatant advertising links in their posts and signatures.
It was really bad, so to combat this, I had to restrict URLs and signatures to more active users.
Spammers usually tried no more than about 5 times, but to be safe, I set a limit of 25 posts or more before links and signatures could be used.
The amount of SPAM has dropped to zero, but I may have been overly cautious.
If you find this too restrictive let me know and provide suggestions on how this type of abuse can be more avoided.

Before the coming of the Christian migrants from Luzon and the Visayas which had accelerated the growth of settlements and subsequently gave rise to bustling municipalities, this area named Cotabato was inhabited by various ethnic groups namely: the Manobos, the Bagobos and the Muslims sometime in 1500 A.D. These various tribes are believed to be descendants of Indonesian immigrants owing to their similarity in physical structure and language.
According to a Manobo creation myth, the fertile flood plain between the Kulaman and the Pulangi Rivers was the birthplace of life on earth. Soil stolen from another world was deposited in this place, which they refer to as pinamua or "land of the beginning".
When the Maguindanao Sultan acceded to Spanish sovereignty in 1861, the colonial government organized several districts to cover the vast plain of the Pulangi. Those who resisted the Spaniards fled towards the interior, to Pagalungan and continued resisting Spanish intrusion into the region. The district of Cotabato was formed in 1860. In 1871, the district covered the military areas of Polloc, Malabang, Reina Regente, Taceran, Babia, lllana, Baras and Lebac. What is presently Cotabato remained outside the area of Spanish activities.
The area covered by the empire Province of Cotabato is the territory presently occupied by the provinces of Cotabato (the mother province). South Cotabato, Maguindanao, Sarangani and Sultan Kudarat, including the area now covered by General Santos and Cotabato Cities. "Cotabato" comes from the Maguindanao "Kuta Wato", or "Stone Fort", and bespeaks of the long tradition of courage and resistance that marks the history of the Pulangi River basin. Its capital was then Cotabato (now a city, a town along the Rio Grande some five kilometers from where said river empties into the sea on the west).
The total land area of the original Cotabato before its division was 2,296,791 hectares or about one thirteenth of the whole country which has an area of about 30 million hectares. So big was the original province that its area was about the size of the central plain of Luzon and bigger than six states in the United States, including the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The total land area of the Hawaiian Islands (now a U.S. state) is only about three-fourths that of Cotabato.
The effectivity of the operation of the original province of Cotabato was on September 1, 1914. The date when the creation of the Department of Mindanao and Sulu took effect pursuant to the Philippine Commission Act No. 2408 dated July 23, 1914, an Act providing for a temporary form of government for the territory known as the Department of Mindanao and Sulu, making applicable thereto, with certain exceptions the provisions of general laws now in force in the Philippine Island, and for other purposes.
Before the passage of the above-mentioned Act by the Philippine Commission, Cotabato was never called a province. It was just categorized as a mere district of the Moro Province. The Moro Province was composed of all the political subdivisions of Mindanao and Sulu, excluding the two Misamis Provinces and Surigao. The huge province (Moro province) was created by the Philippine Commission on July 15, 1903 in Act No. 787 and probably because no Filipino had any knowledge of surveying at the time, the territorial jurisdiction of the Cotabato District was roughly described, wanting in definiteness and usually giving rise to boundary conflicts with neighboring provinces.
The Moro province was governed by military governors, the last being General John J. Pershing, who was succeeded in December 1913 by the first civilian governor, Frank W. Carpenter. The early Filipinos were pagans – worshippers of the sun, the moon and some animals like Kalupindo (Parrot). Mohammed- anism or Islam was the first "imported" religion in Cotabato. It was first introduced in the later part of the 15th century by Shariff Kabunsuan, a legendary Muslim missionary who later ruled Cotabato with his descendants and established the Sultanate of Mindanao.
Shariff Kabunsuan and hisdescendants ruled Cotabato until the coming of the Americans in the early part of the twentieth century. One important feature established by the reign of Shariff Kabunsuan was the introduction of a system of government called Datuism. The system of government is until today still being practiced by some Mohammedans who revere the datu as the dispenser or lawgiver of death. This system developed Muslim culture and kept Muslim united in their struggles against foreigners.
The northern part of Cotabato particularly along the boundaries of Davao and Bukidnon was relatively unaffected during the emergence of Mohammedanism in the province. The reason was that, as mentioned earlier, some of the datus had settled at the foot of Mt. Apo and inland transportation was still difficult during those days so that the only convenient way was thru the river. Even then, the tribes who occupied the highlands, along the Pulangi river, which extends up to the province of Bukidnon were not converted to Mohammedanism. When the Muslim converts and missionaries migrated further north thru the river, the Malayan highlanders just went upward to the foot of Mt. Apo in different groups, which then developed into different ethnic groups.
The influx of Spanish "conquistadores" also did not affect the northern part of the province. The Spaniards came to subdue the "Moros" or Muslim pirates who attacked several islands of the Visayas and Luzon, at the turn of the 17th century.To prevent the further penetration of Muslim pirates, a fort was established at Tamontaka.
The Spaniards arrived in Cotabato way back in 1696 when Captain Rodriguez de Figueroa obtained from the Spanish government the exclusive right to colonize Mindanao. On February 1, 1596, he left lloilo and landed at the mouth of Rio Grande de Mindanao, in what is known today as Cotabato City. With Cotabato as the base, the Spanish "conquistadores" attempted to enter the interior region following the Rio Grande and reached as far as Pikit to protect the Spaniards from continuous harassment from the Mohammedans. Today, the Spanish Fort in Pikit still stands as the only relic of Spanish colonial power in the province.
The American forces arrived in the early part of the twentieth century. The Mohammedans under Datu Alamada and Datu Ali put up a very strong resistance in Midsayap, which hastened the coming of General Leonard Wood, then Military Governor, to personally lead the assault on the stronghold. But with the capture of the fortress in Midsayap, the Mohammedans engaged the military forces in guerilla warfare.
One important thing that the Americans did which caused a great impact in the province was their policy of attraction. This policy was aimed at convincing the Muslims of the sincerity of the American rule in the country. It was also aimed at restoring peace and order and implanting political advancement and training in the art of self-government.
Though Islam was the first religion, Christianity also was introduced later in 1596.
The first Christian settlers in Cotabato from outside of Mindanao-mostly came from the Province of Cebu and arrived in Pikit on June 17, 1913 at the behest and as a result of the efforts of the late Pres. Sergio Osmena who was then Speaker of the Philippine Commission. Expenses of their transfer to the "land of promise" were subsidized by the government.
The Administrator of the "Colono" (name given to the settlers at that time) was a Superintendent by the name Maximo Abad, a government-appointed official, who took care of the settlers' needs, like food, farm implements, etc. There were six more batches of "colonos" that arrived after June 17, 1913. From Pikit, children and kin of settlers later moved westwards to Midsayap and eastward to Kidapawan.
Other settlements were organized later in General Santos, Marbel, Kiamba, Tupi, Banga and neighboring places. Most of the settlers came from Luzon and were better attended to by the National Land Settlement Administration (NLSA) and the Land Settlement Development Corporation (LASEDECO). Succeeding entry of enterprising Visayans and Luzonians came later at their own volition and expenses.
It was not always all smiles and happiness for the people of Cotabato. The years between 1941 and 1945 were unhappy years. Cotabato was not spared the ravages of war. Atrocities and destruction of the Japanese Imperial Forces was experienced by almost every Filipino. The second World War was a black chapter in our history but development albeit slow-paced, and the normal functions of government resumed after we were liberated by the American Forces led by General Douglas McArthur.
The biggest province in the country (Cotabato) had only one municipality when it was created a province on September 1, 1914: Cotabato Municipality, its capital, which became a city in 1959. Before the outbreak of World War II on December 7, 1941, Cotabato province had only three (3) municipalities: Cotabato, Dulawan (later named Datu Piang, in honor of Amai Mingka, the father of Governor Ugalingan Piang and Congressman Gumbay Piang) and Midsayap. The latter two were simultaneously created on November 25, 1936.
While the original Cotabato had an area of some 2,299,791 hectares, the present Cotabato territory covers only 731,102 hectares or a bit more than one-fourth of the size of the Original Cotabato.
The original Cotabato first experienced its first "slicing" or reduction of size in 1966 when South Cotabato was separated from the empire province. The first "slice" (South Cotabato) before belongs to Region XI. After the reduction, the reduced empire province still had 34 municipalities left, one of which (Carmen was bigger than the Province of Tarlac.
Our remaining province, after the separation of South Cotabato was effected in 1966, was again divided into three (3) district provinces, namely: North Cotabato, Maguindanao and Sultan Kudarat, pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 341, dated November 22, 1973. The Batas Pambansa thereafter renamed North Cotabato to just Cotabato in BP No. 660 on December 19, 1983, striking off the word "North."
The province became part of an autonomous government for Region XII following the Tripoli Agreement of 1976. In 1989, following a plebiscite to determine the extent of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), the province declined inclusion.
Our province, therefore, by virtue of the foregoing, is the mother province of the provinces originally belonging to the original Cotabato including South Cotabato, which was the first to be "sliced" there from.
The province is bounded on the North by the Province of Lanao del Sur and Bukidnon, on the East by Davao del Sur, on the Southwest by Sultan Kudarat and on the West by Maguindanao province.
The opening of the National Highway from Cotabato to Davao and Cotabato to Bukidnon brought government attention to the need of immediately utilizing unopened lands for organized settlement. This was the time when settlers coming from Luzon and Visayas streamed into the province opening new vistas for agricultural lands including mountains. And as elsewhere the formed communities patterned after those in the old home. Thus, barangays today predominantly occupied by llongos, Cebuanos, llocanos and Tagalogs are named after those names that were prevailing in the old homes.
When the 2nd World War came, in other places, especially in Luzon and Visayas, it meant evacuation and stoppage of all activities, especially farming which was the main economic activity of the population. This was not true in some municipalities that comprised the province. In Kidapawan, for instance, the war brought more people as evacuees from Davao which was then occupied by the Japanese came to settle thereat.
Thus, the pioneering settlers in the hinterlands of Cotabato were far luckier than their brothers in Luzon and Visayas since farming activities were not totally hampered by the out-break of hostilities. Instead, some crops like abaca were introduced by evacuees coming from Davao because the volcanic soil of Kidapawan was suited to this plant.
With liberation, more people poured in and new communities were opened serving as the nuclei of the present 17 municipalities and 1 city comprising the province.
In some parts of the province, 1950 was a year of depression due to rodent infestation that plagued the province. Destitute settlers, especially in the towns of Pigcawayan, Midsayap, Libungan, Mlang and Kabacan who saw their crops ravaged by rats in one night and the fruit of their labor gone to waste, gave up and returned to their old homes in Luzon and Visayas.
Most of the settlers, however, preserved some of their crops and timely government assistance minimized the danger posed by the infestation. In spite of those bleak years, the people of Kidapawan, mostly small landowners, enjoyed a bonanza from the high price of abaca fibers. So great was the prosperity of Kidapawan that in due time many professionals, mostly lawyers, doctors, nurses and agents of all sorts arrived in the place and settled permanently.
This period also ushered in big investments for the province by wealthy entrepreneurs from elsewhere in the country. Seeing the progress and potentials of the area, especially in rich volcanic soil of Kidapawan and Makilala, they began to acquire large tracts of land and developed them thru mechanized farming. Thus, today stands the Pamintuan Development Corporation Rubber Plantation, the Overseas Agricultural Development Corporation and other several big industries. Some investors tapped other potentials that the province possessed. Its economic development was lagging far behind the provinces in Luzon and Visayas. There were hardly any significant infrastructure projects and utilities until 1966 when then President Ferdinand E. Marcos undertook a massive infrastructure program in the areas of Mindanao.
The concreting of Digos-Cotabato Road was completed. Several farm-to-market roads, barangay roads and bridges were constructed and several municipal buildings were completed. Artesian wells were installed in the different barangays of the province. In addition, the Kabacan River Irrigation Project, the Mlang Irrigation Project and numerous communal irrigation projects capable of irrigating 50,000 hectares were constructed.
The steady pace of development was interrupted when the province became a battle-ground of Muslim secessionists. The Muslim Independence Movement agitated for the independence of Mindanao. As a result, several homes were razed, millions of pesos worth of properties were destroyed, towns and barrios were deserted and hundreds of innocent civilian lives were lost.
It was this time that President Ferdinand E. Marcos declared Martial Law on September 21, 1972 and the arrival of government reinforcements reversed the turn of events. Military forces under the Central Mindanao Command (CEMCOM) led by General Fortunate U. Abat gradually recovered the places captured by the rebel groups and restored peace as these lawless elements were one by one convinced to return to the folds of the law. Numerous government programs were implemented with the aim of returning the evacuees to their residences. Foremost of these was the SPARE Program. Assistance and aid flowed to the province thru the Social Welfare Administration, now the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Red Cross and other agencies.
Since the original Cotabato was formally created as a Province on September 1, 1914, the governors of Cotabato before that date could not be called "Provincial Governors." Before 1914 (1899-1913) our District Governors were all American Military Governors, all belonging to the Philippine Constabulary and all with the rank of major, except Don Ramon Vilo who ruled this area in 1898. As a province, Cotabato had its first Civil Governor in 1941.

Transport Canada seeks power to allow airport security screeners to open locked luggage
OTTAWA — Transport Canada is consulting with Canadians to gauge their feelings on allowing airport security screeners to open locked luggage if that luggage is flagged on X-rays.
The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) currently screens all bags before they are loaded on to an aircraft. Unlocked baggage that sets off security alarms can be searched, but airport screeners are not currently allowed to go into locked bags.
"The safety and security of the travelling public is our top priority," Transport Minister Lisa Raitt said. "This means more bags, including locked and sealed ones, will likely need to be opened and searched."
Transport Canada will consider the feedback prior to devising any new regulations.

The Tuscaloosa Housing Authority has received the most awards among the state's 147 public housing authorities for the second year in a row.
The Tuscaloosa Housing Authority has received the most awards among the state's 147 public housing authorities for the second year in a row.
The awards were presented in late August at the annual convention of the Alabama Association of Redevelopment Housing Authorities in Panama City, Fla.
The authority received four awards:
n The Patriot Award, which recognized its commitment to serving the housing needs of disabled and sometimes homeless veterans.
n The Phoenix Award, a special recognition of the public housing recovery efforts following the April 27, 2011 tornado.
n Excellence in Community Development, which recognized the authority's interdependent public and private partnerships and the authority's role in providing quality and affordable housing.
n SEMAP High Performer, which recognized the authority's Section Eight Management Asset Program — a government voucher program that subsidizes rents for people with low-incomes.
"It is truly amazing to see that in the last three to four years how things have been turned around in a new direction at the Tuscaloosa Housing Authority," said Lin Moore, the authority's chairman.
Moore credited the authority's executive director, Ralph Ruggs, and assistant director, Dino Fort, for creating a new culture and leadership that the authority's staff and residents have bought into.
The authority receives funds from the Tuscaloosa County and the city of Tuscaloosa as well as the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which Moore said also were partners in the turn-around.
Moore said some of the authority's accomplishments during the last year include finishing the revitalization of McKenzie Court; the ongoing revitalizing of Rosedale Court, which has finished its second phase of rebuilding and will start its third phase before the end of the year; and the completion of Beatrice Hudson Washington Estates, which includes single-family homes for first-time homeowners who had extensive training on home ownership and in saving for the down payment.
Rosedale Court was one of the city's oldest public housing projects. Much of the development was leveled by the April 27, 2011, tornado. What remained was torn down for the rebuilding that continues.

Blocking certain enzymes may prevent cancer
In order to divide, a cell needs to copy its genetic material to make new cells, called "daughter" cells. Several enzymes in the cells act as the traffic cops for this process. A new study suggests turning off CDK7 might prevent three enzymes which proliferate specific cancers.
Blocking certain enzymes in the cell may prevent cancer cell division and growth, according to new findings from researchers at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The discovery is published in the April 25, 2013 issue of the journal Molecular Cell.
In order to divide, a cell needs to create copies of its genetic material to provide to the new cells, called the "daughter" cells. Several enzymes in the cells, called cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs), act as the traffic cops for this process, making sure that DNA is copied correctly and determining when the cell should move into the next stage of division.
Each CDK has a different responsibility during cell division. For example, CDK1 promotes the segregation of DNA into the new daughter cells; CDK4 and 6 act on a tumor suppressor gene; and CDK7 plays an important role in DNA transcription into RNA.
When the cell reaches a stage called the "restriction point," it has passed the threshold where division can be safely stopped—the point of no return. For years, scientists have been working to inhibit the activity of these CDK enzymes in cancer cells before they reach the restriction point, so that that cell division stops and cancer cannot proliferate.
Led by Robert Fisher, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Structural and Chemical Biology at Mount Sinai, the research team evaluated human colon cancer cells in a petri dish to assess the activity of CDKs. Previous research had shown that CDK7 was a critical enzyme in cell division, but the team wanted to learn how its activity influenced other CDKs; specifically, CDK4 and CDK6, two critical enzymes that act prior to the restriction point and whose regulation is not completely understood.
"While we know that CDK7 plays an essential role in all cells, its precise activity and specific targets in the cell remained unclear," said Dr. Fisher. "CDK4 and CDK6 have also been elusive targets in our research, and we wanted to learn how CDK7 affected them."
Turning off CDK4 and CDK6 has been shown to be effective in blocking division of some cancer cells and is currently being tested in clinical trials. The new study suggests that turning off CDK7 might be equally or more effective, making all three enzymes viable therapeutic targets for the prevention of cancer cell proliferation.
Taking advantage of a unique method they developed to control CDK activity in human cells, the research team found that when they "turned off" the activity of CDK7, CDK4 and CDK6 were also inactivated rapidly. This makes sense, because CDK7 is able to activate both CDK4 and CDK6 in the test tube, enabling them to modify a key tumor suppressor protein, which is thought to be how they promote cancer cell growth and division.
Dr. Fisher: "These findings complete the story of CDK activation in human cells, in which one CDK is capable of activating others. Now, we want to evaluate what signaling pathway earlier in the cell division process leads to CDK7 activation, so that it can in turn activate CDK4 and CDK6. This pathway may be an important therapeutic target for cancer, and possibly other diseases as well."
Next, Dr. Fisher and his team plan to find out what is happening upstream, or earlier, in the cell division process that turns up the activity of CDK7, and also to learn more specifically how it is interacting with CDK4 and CDK6.
The study was supported by a grant to Dr. Fisher from the National Institutes of Health, and by a pre-doctoral training grant from the NIH to the lead author, Miriam Merzel Schachter, a PhD candidate in Dr. Fisher's laboratory.

Historical Note
Cyrilly Abels (1903-1975), an intimate friend of Katherine Anne Porter, was a notable literary editor and agent. Her career began in 1924 after her graduation from Radcliffe College; she co-founded and was the first editor of a small publication called Creative Reading.
As the managing editor of Mademoiselle magazine from 1945 to 1960, she played a major role in transforming the publication from a fashion magazine for young women to an important medium for young and talented writers. In its pages she brought to a mass audience the writers Eldridge Cleaver, Truman Capote, Carson McCullers, James Baldwin, Hortense Calisher, Eugene lonesco, Flannery O'Connor, James Purdy, and Katherine Anne Porter.
After leaving Mademoiselle, Abels worked for two years as associate editor of The Reporter. Then, in 1962, she established her own literary agency. Her client list included Warren Hinckle, Zelda Popkin, Christina Stead, Francis Steegmuller, T. S. Mathews, Robert Scheer, and Katherine Anne Porter.
Her client Warren Hinckle (former publisher of Ramparts) wrote that Abels expanded "the traditional role of agent into that of combination editor and ombudsman." Her working relationship and close personal friendship with Katherine Anne Porter epitomizes Hinckle's characterization.
In 1950, Abels initiated a relationship with Porter that endured and deepened over a quarter century. Their nascent professional relationship as editor/agent and writer developed into an intimate friendship that lasted until Abels's death. Though often separated by Porter's peripatetic activities and brief periods of "seclusion," the two kept up a rich and diverse correspondence, interspersed with brief meetings. Their common devotion to writing brought them together, but they also shared interests in gardening and fashionsubjects on which they often expounded on at great length in their correspondence.
A passage from one of Porter's letters to Abels, dated November 3, 1961, illustrates her affection:
"The last news I had of you was just ten days ago. I am thinking about you, and wondering, and hoping, and wishing I could do something. But this is not worrying, not fretting and gnawing, it really is what the old Quakers used to call with great purity of feeling for the meaning of words, a Concern, a very continuous awareness of you, for your situation, of what you wish for and are trying to do, and just a plain old fashioned sympathy and friendship for you."
Abels and her husband, lawyer Jerome Weinstein, were childless. Cyrilly Abels died on November 14, 1975. At her death, she was survived by her two sisters, Jean and Muriel Abels.

hey guys,
i know this isnt security related, but knowing that alot of people need to write one of these, i thought i would share it with all of my friends on AO.
here goes.
This is a tutorial on how to write the perfect resume. Well, I wouldnt call it perfect but its gonna be pretty good.
Before I start, I just want to make some points that might help along the way:
1) You can have more than one resume. What I mean is that, if you were applying for two jobs, one as a cleaner, and the other and a salesman, it wouldnt make sense to give them both the same resume. Change and swap things around. For example, on the cleaning resume put down points that show you are a hard worker and that you only have to be told once. On the salesman resume, make notes that you boosted sales last year from $50 to $50, 000
2) Its very important to keep your resume updated all the time. It is a lot easier to add a piece of paper every now and then as you receive them, that having to add a stack of them and basically create a new resume in the first place.
Ok, so lets get started:
The first thing you wanna do is title your resume, preferably Resume and underline it and center it at the top of the page. Then we start on details, it is very important to classify your details into sections so the employer and even you can quickly look at certain parts. Another reason for this is so you dont miss important details, and then find them again once your past the section. It also shows your employer that your organised.
Ok, now you want to decide the format and layout of the resume. You can either have the name of the details and a colon after it or you can place a nice picture, but this mainly depends whether you are creating the resume on the computer or in writing. For this tutorial, we will be demonstrating how to make it on the computer.
So, we have Name: Joe Blow and that is how we are going to set out our resume, the subject and a colon, then the response. It is also important to have your name a tiny bit bigger and bolder that the rest of the text. This enables the employer to clearly see your name, so they dont make a fool of themselves and blame you :P
Next heading is your address, same format, and place your address in there. Ahh, now, we have the telephone number, fax number, mobile number and email address. Now when I was making my resume I picked carefully which I was going to place on the paper. I decided on the fixed phone and a mobile phone. It is also I good idea to place your email address for quick responses, but be warned, if your email address is something like firstname.lastname@example.com then I recommend you dont put I there. Things like this can deter the employer.
Now, the next section is your personal details, this lot includes your date of birth, hobbies/interests and personal qualities. Personal qualities is what I was talking about at the top. Your not going to put slow worker just cause you are, you want to impress the employer, but dont over do it. Its ok to omit some qualities but its not right to lie about ones you dont have.
Also, for your hobbies, dont put I love to sing for a counter clergyman, because this doesnt really have relevance to the job your enquiring about.
Career objectives are not what you want to be when you grow up. Its what you are motivated to do and what you might be able to do for the company of persons you are being employed under. For example, someone wanting to be a social worker may put I am highly motivated to pursue a career in the Human Services Industry
This is a good example because it is short, precise and is relevant to the job. I strongly advice you not to put, I want to be a punk rock and roll artist, when being employed as a gardener. (however they might think your singing talents might help the plants grow :P)
Work skills or demonstrated abilities are similar to personal qualities but should not be confused. Personal qualities are about you only, and work skills are about what you can do on the job. However there are some answers that can fall into both categories, for example, active listening skills. However, it is unwise to place them twice as the employer might think you are daft and trying to get attention.
Employment History and education sections should not be mixed. This is because they are two totally different eras in your life. If you are fresh out of high school and havent held many or no jobs, you can still place teachers, family and friends as your references, and that might give the employer an insight into your capabilities.
When you set out your employment history, it is usually and best to place the topics in this order.
First you list the employer (in bold) and then your position held. You then list your work by placing the most recent experience and work your way back. It is also a good idea to list duties in point form as it is easier to read.
Next is your educational background. List any educational achievements here, including any part-time courses, and same with the employment history, start from the most recent and work your way backwards.
Provide results or highlight the achievements in your best of favourite subjects to let the employer know which course was your major.
Referees are always needed. This helps the employer get more input of your experience and your capabilities. Without a reference the employer has nothing to go on, and therefore could think that you made everything up.
Include names, addresses and contact numbers for people you wish to add as a reference. It is also a good idea to ask the reference if you can add them to your resume as not to surprise them and make them unprepared. Also it is just generally polite.
Another item that I personally think is important, is documents like School Reports, certificates of achievements, and various other documents that might push your resume ahead of the others.
Ok, now lets say its been a week or two, sometimes, and this does happen, the employer might forget about your resume and it could sit indefinitely in the in box so its always good to follow up with a letter, explaining your situation that you have sent a resume and tell them If they have any queries to contact you on the number that is also, written on your sheet.
In every document that you send your employer, have a header stating your address and possibly your phone number.
Also, when you finish a letter, always end it with yours sincerely or yours faithfully, you use sincerely when you are writing specially to a person, and you use faithfully when you dont know the person you are writing to.
That about wraps it up, if you have any queries please send an email to email@example.com or if this gets to AO then pm me on Trust_Not_123.
Cheers all

Beck next plays Mandy Minella of Luxembourg, who defeated Dia Evtimova of Bulgaria 6-2, 2-6, 6-3.
Petra Martic of Croatia rallied to beat former champion Andrea Petkovic 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-3. Martic will face Patricia Mayr-Achleitner in the second round. The Austrian defeated Tereza Mrdeza of Croatia 6-4, 6-3.
Viktorija Golubic of Switzerland held serve throughout to defeat No. 5 Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands 6-2, 6-2 and set up a second-round match against Andrea Hlavackova of the Czech Republic, who beat Eleni Daniilidou of Greece 6-3, 6-1.

Of course, these sacrifices aren't necessarily a bad thing, as a third of your final score is derived from different methods of execution. There are eight ways to die, which includes being drowned, sliced, squashed, burnt, flung, exploded, skewered, and melted. If you want to spare yourself, you can be completely maniacal and toss one your companions to its death instead, watching it writhe in pain briefly before evaporating. It may seem inhumane, but since your buddies poof back into formation after a few seconds, it's worth the brief bout of sadism.
Like the visuals, the music and effects are a throwback to the golden days of side-scrolling platformers, although in the sound category it's a mix bag of odd but humorous voice acting and just plain boring everything else. The narration and commentary throughout the journey makes me believe the designers were sparked by another recent downloadable title called Bastion. However, instead of a cool, deep Clint Eastwood-like voice, the narrator sounds more like Bill Murray's portrayal of Carl Spackler in Caddyshack. The musical score sounds like it was taken straight from the old arcade hit Paperboy, and your Sour Patch army sounds exactly like Pikmin when thrown. It's nothing worthy of any praise, so hit the mute button or throw on your own tunes for this one.
When I first began playing World Gone Sour, I was disappointed with the technical flaws of the game. But as I progressed, it started to stick to me like the wet gummy I was controlling. Perhaps it's the hilarious product branding, or the ability to send Sour Patch Kids to their doom, or maybe it's the fact that this simple adventure is only five bucks. It's not going to win any awards, the dark humor may be a turnoff to some, and it doesn't do anything drastically new, but it's a fun diversion nonetheless, and worth five Washington's if you've grown tired of your high-priced picks.

Designer David Bromstad gives the green light — or at least a flashing yellow light — for using color in home decor. But proceed with caution: Folks can brighten rooms without merely painting the walls, he says.
"I get my color through furniture pieces and through art and through pillows and so forth," said Bromstad, host of HGTV's "Color Splash" and "Design Star." "People are too afraid of it. People think that paint is the only way to bring in color."
On the flip side are amateur designers who love color a little too much.
"People who are not afraid of color, they tend to paint the rooms, like, 14 different colors," he said.
Bromstad, a former Orlando resident who worked at Disney World, will speak on "The Power of Color" on the HGTV Designers Stage at the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. He'll be in the Festival Center on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the last day of the event.
It will be a very visual presentation, Bromstad said, and will explore the dual-personalities of color.
"For instance, red is for love and lust and sex and everything passionate, but it also represents hatred and anger and gore and hostility at the same time," he said.
He'll also talk about "human property" of color.
"Each color has a healing property, which is interesting. Like some colors help relieve blood pressure, some colors help to cure colds," said Bromstad, 39. "Color goes very deep, so I'm going to dive deep."
His current favorite fashionable color is emerald.
"It's the color of the year in fashion, and it will definitely come down into the home in the next few years," Bromstad said.
"The color that I always love is white," he said. "Any color that you put next to it is in its purest form. If you have an all-white room — with white couch and white chairs and white floors and white walls and white ceiling — and you plop a fuchsia pillow onto that white couch, right then you make such a big statement with little effort."
It's Bromstad's first Epcot appearance for HGTV. He has fond memories of working at Disney, but he was not a fan of the pink version of the Cinderella Castle. It was decorated to look like a cake in 1996 as part Disney World's 25th anniversary celebration.
"You don't mess with an icon," he said. "It's like taking the Statue of Liberty and putting ruffles on her."
email@example.com or 407-420-5477
Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival
When: Designer David Bromstad speaks at noon and 3 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Where: Festival Center of Epcot, off Interstate 4, southwest of Orlando
Cost: Included in Epcot admission. A one-day, one park pass at Disney World is $89 ($83 for ages 3-9).

Information for Patients
Also called: Broken bone
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
Symptoms of a fracture are
- Intense pain
- Deformity - the limb looks out of place
- Swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the injury
- Numbness and tingling
- Problems moving a limb
You need to get medical care right away for any fracture. An x-ray can tell if your bone is broken. You may need to wear a cast or splint. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.

Hand problems include
- Carpal tunnel syndrome - compression of a nerve as it goes through the wrist, often making your fingers feel numb
- Injuries that result in fractures, ruptured ligaments and dislocations
- Osteoarthritis - wear-and-tear arthritis, which can also cause deformity
- Tendinitis - irritation of the tendons

Osteoporosis is a disease that thins and weakens the bones. Your bones become fragile and break easily, especially the bones in the hip, spine, and wrist. In the United States, millions of people either already have osteoporosis or are at high risk due to low bone mass.
Anyone can develop osteoporosis, but it is more common in older women. Risk factors include
- Getting older
- Being small and thin
- Having a family history of osteoporosis
- Taking certain medicines
- Being a white or Asian woman
- Having low bone density
Osteoporosis is a silent disease. You might not know you have it until you break a bone. A bone mineral density test is the best way to check your bone health.
To keep bones strong, eat a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, exercise, and do not smoke. If needed, medicines can also help. It is also important to try to avoid falling down. Falls are the number one cause of fractures in older adults.
