April - December 2016
1560s Flemish Peasant
If any historical outfit could be considered a "classic," then surely the Flemish peasant dress is one. There are so many lovely recreations of this dress out there to emulate! This was quite possibly the oldest item on my "costumes to make" sewing list. My version is in linen and linen blends, and fashioned after the artwork of Joachim Beuckelaer and Pieter Aertsen.
It seems everyone takes a different approach to the construction. And I spent some time mulling over my options, and of course Drea Leed's research. For the bodice, given the huge center front lacing gap, I needed some sort of boned foundation. (The "no boning used in support layers" business is just not for me). Also, the fewer layers the better. But there were still many ways to proceed. Morgan Donner's instructive and inspiring Antwerp research, and dress write-up, were key in organizing my thoughts. The simplest, most comfortable solution was a new set of stays. And then if I made the placard a separate piece, the accessories could be mixed and matched. So that's what I did. My costume layers can be broken down in this way: underneath everything is a smock, strapless stays and a petticoat. On top, an unboned kirtle which laces over a simple placard. The partlet and apron naturally make up the final layers.
Though I did search for pretty wool, I couldn't find any. So all of the fashion fabrics for this project, happily, came from the stash. The dress was made from exactly 3 2/3 yards of 44" wide salmon-colored, linen-cotton blend. The yardage had been cut into a couple of lengths. The fabric had been earmarked for the muslin box. But I realized that it was a great Flemish color and I could eek out the dress by cutting the skirt on the cross grain. I dug out some hanky linen for the aprons, and some scraps for the placards (red linen-cotton and mustard silk-linen). And ended up making two full sets of accessories. I even had a two yard length of hanky linen that had been dyed salmon. So I made a Tudor Tailor petticoat, pattern #19, to wear underneath. The light weight petticoat wouldn't do anything for my silhouette, but it's an exact color match, and I hadn't lined the skirt, so I figured what the heck.
My full bodice patterns wouldn't have fit the yardage. But since the front of the Flemish bodice is narrow I was able to cut it exactly as patterned. The bodice is underlined in broadcloth then bag-lined. I'd already tested the pattern on the Maiden dress, so was less nervous about the fit. But just to play it safe I kept my side seams exposed. The only boning is a single cable tie, set 3/8" back from center front. Lacing rings are sewn directly to the lining, within that 3/8" space. The bodice and cartridge-pleated skirt are finished separately and whip stitched together. I really love this method, for any era.
The skirt's opening at center front has a couple inches of overlap and closes with a single pin. As mentioned above, the skirt is cut on the cross. It has a finished hem of 106". It's ever so slightly gored, so the waist is even narrower. My placard is shaped like an 18th C stomacher, lined in broadcloth and unboned. A single pin on either side of the bodice (at bust level) holds it in place. This keeps it from gapping or creeping out. Though if it did gap, that would be perfectly period too! This is actually a four-pin ensemble: the partlet closes with a single pin too. The aprons tie with tapes, and are handsewn with narrow hems. About 7" of apron hangs free on either side of the waist.
Thank goodness for easy hairstyles. I followed The Tudor Tailor's method for dressing the hair, page 142. My hair is long enough that I hardly needed any hair pins. Instead of incorporating the tapes into my braids, I wrapped them around the finished braids in a spiral pattern.
In the link below you'll find a little gallery of period dress details and a sampling of Beuckelaer kirtles worn without sleeves.

About +Munch
During 2015 and 2016 the Munch Museum will present an ambitious two-year exhibition series called +Munch. Here Edvard Munch's art will be shown side by side with six other artists consecutively: Bjarne Melgaard, Vincent van Gogh, Gustav Vigeland, Robert Mapplethorpe, Jasper Johns and Asger Jorn.
In other words, artists from Munch's own lifetime as well as later generations, all the way up to our own time. To present artists such as Van Gogh, Jasper Johns or Robert Mapplethorpe in a large scope for the first time here in Norway is a sensation in itself. On that level the series points to a practice that will characterise the exhibitions in the new Munch Museum, which will open in about five year's time. Aside from Munch's art, the new museum's programme will include modernist and contemporary art based on Rolf E. Stenersen's Collection. And not least, we will actively exploit the opportunities that the Munch collection affords us to present international exhibitions, which we would otherwise not have been able to bring to Norway. Instead of presenting Munch as an isolated figure, we will consistently place Munch's work in relation to other art. This will open up to new understanding and lead to a richer historical perspective on his art than we have previously had the opportunity to demonstrate. It will also make Munch's art more relevant to our own times.
The exhibitions of the next two years are intended as a form of elevated encounters between the works of two artists. They are placed in relation to each other in ways that will open up to new layers of meaning in their work. This of course goes both ways, as it always does in a relationship. The encounters will alternate from confrontation and disparity to connections and influence. In some cases it is a question of direct dialogue, while in others, parallels that we can see in hindsight will emerge, or a combination of these.

Purchasing a pre-owned automobile can be a difficult process. The tension normally begins with attempting to figure out where to look for a preowned car, truck, SUV, or minivan near you.
The variety of car or truck shopping options has exploded over the last few years. This makes it much more challenging for those looking to purchase a good deal on their next car, truck, SUV or minivan.
Of all the possible options for today's automobile customer, the leading 2 vehicle shopping locations are individually operated used car lots and franchised dealerships. So, which one is the appropriate one for you? Here are a few things to take into consideration:
Financing a CPO or a previously owned car or truck is just among the advantages of selecting a franchise-owned car dealer over an independently operated used car lots. A Porsche car dealership has the ability to provide a variety of financing alternatives to its clients such as financing with your own regional financial institution, lending institution, or perhaps Porsche backed funding. An independent car dealer may have a bank or two but normally those banks have higher loan rates. This often means much less flexible loan terms.
Porsche Certified Service Department
Franchise owned car dealerships, such as Porsche, utilize ASE certified auto professionals, as well as state-of-the-art vehicle service centers with industry-leading tools. What is the advantage of taking your car to a Porsche dealership? Well, you will be taking advantage of top of the line vehicle repair service in contrast to taking your car to a basic repair shop.
Purchasing a pre-owned car from Porsche car dealer has lots of benefits as pointed out above. Nevertheless, to summarize: high quality used automobiles, competitive pricing, more car financing choices, modern repair centers, and generally greater industry standards than an individually owned repair shop makes this choice much less stressful.

Have you ever been restless?
I have been, several times, when I was a kid.
Today I met a lady, who was restless. Her being, was deathlike, when I started speaking to her. She had lost hope, expectation. I could feel it, that I asked, "Are you OK?"
She said, she was not feeling well. She was having fever and she was taking antibiotic, etc..etc... but we all know, how we feel when we are sick and otherwise. So I put the next question.
"Are you happy?" Then the reply arrived, "I am restless. I really want to go from here. I have stayed too long here and there is no one to look forward to here. So I want to go."
Here she has a reason for feeling restless, there is no one to say as her own, a person or persons to love her. Its innate. We all have it at one point or the other. But believe me, if you are searching for that one loving person or persons, then baby, you are doomed. You would never find it. You came alone to this world and you return alone because the body we have would decay and become good manure for the soil. Then what is the use of a loved one? Do we really need a loved one?
Yes, we surely need a loved one, the reason, to direct us to reach our final goal, eternal love.
With eternal love, we do not feel like running anywhere or everywhere, we are happy with our presence. No matter, how many years, you are caged in a cell or in the forest, you would never feel alone or left out or less loved because, the eternal love, which we are seeking, is within us.
So if you are feeling lost or let out or unhappy, then you are in the throes of searching for the missing something. Only advice, don't direct your eyes to people. The people, who are allocated for us, would come to us and fulfill their duty and that goes for us too. So live your life and live happily ever after.
See you tomorrow.
Until then, take care, bye.

How to mislead on global warming.
For many years the Germans claim great activity in the green energy field. But actually they are increasing their GHG emissions substantially. Many US environmentalists points to the "success" of Germany, even a US Senator said, why we can not be like them...
But the story is misleading
..."Despite its reputation as a world leader in solar- and wind-power technologies (16 percent of its electricity comes from renewable sources), Germany also has a dirty secret. It is highly dependent on lignite, so-called brown coal, which is one of the filthiest fuels known to mankind, emitting 27 percent more carbon dioxide to produce the same amount of electricity as regular black coal. The country mines some 180 million metric tons of the stuff every year-slightly more than China and the United States combined-and is home to six of the 10 most polluting power plants in Europe. "On the one hand, Germany looks quite progressive, but if you take a closer look, it's another story," says Anike Peters, of Greenpeace Germany."
From: The Atlantic, Dec. 10, What's Eating Germany By Andrew D. Blechman (my emphasis)
The above clip shows how misleading is our understanding of actual environmental situations. We do not look into the details, and as they say: the Devil is in the detail.
While Germany has spent to date nearly a hundred billions dollars for photovoltaic systems, it is actually increasing rapidly its use of coal, but not only black coal, but one of the dirtiest - lignite.
Another misleading information is: "16% renewable." Actually solar, that took most of the money, generates less than one percent of the electricity, and wind almost all the rest.

The total number of New construction homes for sale rose by 6.8 percent to 1,493. This is only the second increase in inventory in more than four years therefore putting very little downward pressure on prices in the next few months.
Over the last 12 months, Boise house prices rose nearly 12% to $292,400. In Canyon County, the median cost of a home increased by 18% to $225,495.
Total sales in Ada County declined to 709 from 829 twelve months prior, mainly due to the fact there's so little on the market.
Ada County's 1.60 month supply in inventory is the lowest its been since last June. For buyers, it may be a little disheartening right now with Spring offering so little to choose from. For sellers, listing in March seems to be the way to go based on the trend of higher prices and the late year flatline.
Check out some of the great properties around the valley.
Caldwell Home Seller
From the very beginning Patti Syme was professional, knowledgeable, and kind! I felt at ease with her ability to sell my home in a timely manner. Best of all, her prompt return of my calls to answer my many novice questions regarding the home sales process, and the contract--is to be admired! I had a wonderful experience with the Syme Real Estate and--thank you Patti, I appreciate all hard work!
Buyer - Caldwell & Nampa ID
I don't think anyone could find a better Realtor than Patti. She truly cares about her clients and treats them like family. She listens to what you have to say and works tirelessly to make certain her clients are, not only satisfied, but ecstatic about their purchase. I have recommended her to friends, and they love her as much as I do. I will keep referring her to anyone who needs a Realtor!!
Home Buyer - Boise
Patti is amazing! She is there for you at every curve that comes with home buying. Her attention to what is best for the client rings true with each purchase we have done over the years. Everyone at Syme Real Estate was helpful and attentive. Definately will be using them for our next home purchase.
Buyer/Seller Treasure Valley
Patti was my realitor for the sale of my 2nd home and the purchase of my third home. I have a busy schedule so it was very refreshing to get instant responses whether I was calling at 6am or 11pm, weekdays, weekend's, or even holidays. She was able to run with very little direction and take control of every aspect of the buying and selling process and tailor it to fit my needs and wishes. I couldn't be happier and I'd recommend Patti to anyone looking to buy or sale a home in the Treasure Valley.

in Houston County, Minn.
Agriculture forms the backbone of our county. The Houston County EDA provides support for our local farmers and ag businesses.
Helping farmers in Houston County
Minnesota Public Radio recently interviewed local farmer Mary Lou Graf along with EDA Director Allison Wagner on part of the County's new farming initiative. Find the MPR news story here.
The Houston County Economic Development Authority is collaborating with the University of Minnesota Extension and with Workforce Development Inc. in an effort to help local farmers who are looking to try something new either on or off their farms.
Many resources are already available to our local agricultural producers. The EDA is researching market opportunities for non-traditional agricultural products. The EDA can also assist in submitting grants for special on-farm projects and has a revolving loan fund for gap financing qualifying projects.
Workforce Development Inc. can help farmers who are interested look for either full time or part time work off the farm. They help with things such as writing a resume, finding available jobs, training, and interviews. They also coordinate with businesses seeking temporary help who may be able to schedule work hours around a producers on-farm duties.
University of Minnesota Extension is a free source of education on agricultural production with topics ranging from traditional practices to new value-added opportunities. In addition, Extension is currently providing free, confidential farm financial counseling across the state.
If you know of a farmer who is struggling or who would like additional help in trying something new either on or off their farm please encourage them to reach out to the Houston County EDA. Our goal is to get to know our farmers, develop plans based on their individual interests and needs, and help them adapt so that they can be successful.
Needing additional loan options? Looking for options to transition your ag business to a more sustainable model? We welcome all inquiries!
For more information, please contact EDA Director Allison Wagner at email@example.com or (507) 725-5836.

Ann-Sofie Back's newest Spring/Summer 2012 collection treated us to a show combining her two lines. The first part of the show was dedicated to her Atelje collection, and after those 12 looks were shown, the new Back collection was then showcased.
For Atelje show, Ann-Sofie took inspiration from God, holy appearances and "the crease in the tablecloth of the last supper". The collection continued her aesthetic of minimalism, showing a mainly monochrome collection of tunics and cleverly constructed dresses, with many of the pieces featuring a creased detailing, reflecting on her tablecloth inspiration. The Atelje collection is simplistic, yet effective through the lightweight loose trousers and boxy blouses featured, to the experimentation of knits and linen in other garments.
The Back show continued where the previous collection left off, again featuring simple yet effective pieces, flattering to the female form. Lightweight dresses in a vibrant pink and tailored shorts and jackets featured, again using thin and sheer materials. A key detail that prevailed throughout show, was the use of extremely thin belts, nipping in sections of garments, giving a defined silhouette to the pieces.
Both collections were slick and coherent through their appearance, the pieces remained fresh yet current, creating timeless key staples to a female wardrobe.

Talk us through how you first landed yourself a role in the industry?
Ben: I started off making tea and photocopies for my dad's design business in Tottenham Court Road as a holiday job. Then I had extracurricular training with one of the designers there to design magazines and newspapers, and that's where I really began to love design.
Chris: I had just finished an unpaid internship with a PR agency and I was working in a pub where one of the regular punters was a creative director. I struck up a rapport with the guy, and over a 3-month period – after giving him a lot of free rum – managed to persuade him to give me a shot. Like Ben, I made a lot of tea, and again like Ben, out of hours I did a number of short courses at Central Saint Martins whilst slowly grabbing any remedial design tasks I could.
What does a typical day in your role look like?
Ben: Chris and I have so much cross over here and are both typically one of the first ones in. Being early enables you to get an idea of what your day looks like, spot any problems early, have a cup of tea (coffee in Chris's case) and get in the right mind set. Typically, meetings for us start at half eight – nine o'clock.
Chris: If we came later, we probably wouldn't get to do the things we need to do…
Ben: The next thing is planning the day and figuring out everything that needs to be done– triage everything that is looking tricky or manage crossovers and meeting clashes. The triage process is really important and works both up and down, so we would certainly ask someone from the team to assist or maybe ask a little extra here and there. But equally the managing partners – Paul, Dan and Alex – are quite happy to muck in and handle clients or push back when we need them to.
Chris: Then we move on to a series of stand ups – each project that we work on will have a stand up to work out what everyone's working on and if they've got any blockers and once we've sorted those out, we tend to walk into a series of design reviews, give any feedback and nudge people in the right direction when needed.
Ben: From then on throughout the day we have check-ins – whether internal or with clients to make sure we are on track with projects, with design solutions and to solve any problems that might have appeared. Any spare time is spent trying to expand reach and to figure out how we can talk externally outside of the business and pitch for new work. That's generally what our typical day looks like – not to mention a lot of tea. Towards the end of the end of the day we might end up having a quick pint in the pub – maybe (:
What have been the greatest changes you've witnessed in the industry since you started out?
Ben: The biggest change for me is the convergence of technology and experience. Originally, they were very, very separate things – you were designing hard coded pages against a pretty rigid backend system somewhere, if you were lucky. Quite often that wasn't the case – it was literally just hard code HTML. I think the convergence of technologies and the emergence of new technologies have led us to a point where the customer experience is better than ever. I think that is solely down to the understanding between the technology and experience and the way those two work together.
Chris: One of the big things from my perspective was the fact that digital used to be in need of company but now digital has become a business by itself. The interesting point that Ben made is that when we both started in this industry there were already digital businesses that existed like Amazon or Netflix, but the convergence of customer experience and tech is really what innovated these things.
What campaign has felt the biggest achievement since your time spent at Splendid?
Ben: Professionally, moving Splendid from the small-ish company it was when I started, we've now, thanks to our team, grown to be a player that can bloody the noses of the big boys and we punch well above our weight and that's something to be very proud of in this competitive industry. From a client perspective we've had lots of great achievements – let me just point out some. We've designed the booking system for easyJet which in essence is still running 12 years after and makes them roughly two billion a year. We've launched extremely successfully an e-commerce platform for Boots that allowed them to trade well ahead of where they were in a very competitive industry, when we've got high street shops under a lot of pressure and closing all the time. We've enabled their digital side of business to over perform. I believe we delivered a lot of value for SSE to maintain their position as the second biggest provider in the UK, and that was a very difficult 'start from the ground up' project. Looking forward, one of our achievements is the relationship we have with Barclaycard, which has been running for 8 years so far. We have ordinarily become the innovation partner for Barclaycard, looking at what they could be doing quite soon. Nowadays we're also moving that into more of a production role as well. One of our key things definitely is being able to help Barclaycard as a forward-facing financial services organisation under a lot of regulatory pressure – helping them to move forward.
Chris: I think that moves us to the team – I've been here a little over 18 months and having worked with a plethora of clients, the relationship with Barclaycard is the one that sticks out to me as well. We have worked on numerous projects with them, and we've actually just launched our latest piece of work called Finance Coach – you've probably seen the advert knocking about with Simon Cowell. The piece of work that really stuck with me, however, was one of the first experience pieces I worked on with Ben – it was a North Star project about the future of repaying credit cards for Barclaycard. Essentially, in a two-week period we had to deliver an eight-week project. To see the team running around in the build up to Christmas and pull together what turned out to be a really beautiful piece of work, it was a proud moment that really showed the true colours of Splendid and what we're about.
If you could alter one thing about the industry for the better, what would it be?
Ben: I'm going to cheat a little bit here and answer in three ways. I believe that the biggest change we could make that would help is education. It works in a number of different ways – we can start at the grassroots with universities and colleges, and end with clients. We have worked with a fair few graduates over our time and generally, the training provided is very very siloed; it's really specific and that's keeping the industries separated, which I think is a problem. Secondly, we should try and educate both our clients as well as students, on customers life cycle. You need to think about how what you do fits into a customer's life. Deeply understanding how what we're doing fits a lifecycle and what all the components of that lifecycle are, is incredibly important.
Chris: It's a slightly ironic statement coming from two chaps that never went to university but Ben is right – I think education is such an important part of this particular industry. As in our relationship with Barclaycard, quite often we're working on projects that are dealing with a very small part of the scope but actually, the impact of that project can have such broad implications across the entire customer lifecycle. Having an understanding and training your mind to think beyond just your own brief is such a critical aspect of what we do.
Finally, across the digital transformation industry we are not great at using insights for a valuable purpose. Often research and testing are done merely as a tick in the box rather than to truly understand what we need to get out of it. We've been working very hard with our counter parts in the Unlimited Group to try and work out how we can utilise insights in the best possible way. The more we work together, talk together and understand each other, the better our products will be – again, another form of education.
Ben Ireland is Head of Experience and Chris Marsh Head of Creative at Splendid Unlimited – Unlimited Groups digital transformation specialists.Back

So I originally was going to make these to give to my neighbors the week before our housewarming party so that they didn't hate us if/when we made a lot of noise. Unfortunately for them, I changed my mind after taking a bite of the blondies right after they got out of the oven and, instead, decided to keep them. My roommates were content with this decision.
This may be because I used a 13×9 pan and the batter was spread thin, but the blondies resembled a thick, giant chocolate chip cookie. The batter does rise a little in the oven, but not as much as I thought it would. Next time I might try baking it in a 9×9 pan to make the blondes thicker.
Definitely give this recipe a try! And I recommend popping them in the microwave for 10 seconds then topping it with vanilla ice cream 🙂
adapted from AllRecipes.com
(makes about 32)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup butter, melted
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven at 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Combine melted butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. Add a third of the flour mixture and mix just until combined (don't over-mix it). Repeat until all the flour has been added.
- Fold in chocolate chips. Spread batter into the greased pan. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Don't forget Try It Tuesday will begin next Tuesday - write your post today!
As I write this, sitting here at the computer in my sleeping pants and bare feet (the only thing that could possibly make me sound any LAZIER is if I was eating some chocolate and had not showered. I am clean, but mmmmm....chocolate), I can hear my husband RUNNING ON THE TREADMILL downstairs. RUNNING. RRRRUUUUNNNNIIIINNNNGGG. Can you stand it?
He decided he needed to lose some weight so he cut back on his eating and started walking on our treadmill again. Simple. The other night I heard him down there (I was not sitting in my recliner watching "Steel Magnolias" and eating some ice cream. OK. I was.) and it actually sounded like he was running instead of walking. So I asked him when he came upstairs in his gym shorts and t-shirt drenched in sweat. And yep. He was RUNNING. On the treadmill.
Let me just share with you that I HAVE WALKED on the treadmill this summer. Yes I have. Once. One time. And now that I think about it, that's actually quite a bit more embarrassing than not walking on it at all. Because one time sounds. Pretty darn lame.
I think I need some chocolate. Or possibly some ice cream.
Or both.

Oh mrs who, I think I know how you feel! I stopped smoking cigarettes three months ago and I must confess that since then, chocolate tastes better and better!
I've put on some weight and in my living room, an exercise bicycle waits for me it. I honestly used it for 5 times during the last 3 months.
And as far as my hubby is concerned, I think he is still worse than yours. Imagine, he eats heaps of chocolate, never excercises and stays thin as a thread!
That's not fair... ;(
I decided that I simply love my chocolate for the time being!

Thanks for coming over to my blog! If you want to make some virtual exercises, simply come over, I post hiking trips from time to time and we can virtually walk together ;)
I'm kidding but I heard that smiling also helps to lose weight or keeps healthy!
Have a good time!

I'm right there with your hubby. I challenged myself to stop drinking Coca-Cola for the month of July and I'm proud to say I've gone 31 days without a Coke.
Now, if I could just get rid of the Lays Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips

What makes it worse is that men lose so much more quickly than women, too! Ugh! You asked if I work at a school; no, I work in the office of a large youth ministry in Indiana called Oneighty. I'm the office lady, but it's actually pretty fulfilling because they allow me to contribute creatively, too. It's a great job and I'm appreciative to have it; it was just hard to return today.

What are species?
What are Species?
When looking at different species, it's pretty easy to tell the difference between a dog and a cow, between a bird and a fish. That's because these animals are different species: a set of organisms that can interbreed and produce living and fertile offspring. This is called the biological species concept, separating animals based on whether they can possibly interbreed.
The ability to make fertile offspring is an important quality. For example, donkeys and horses can interbreed to make a baby mule. However, mules are infertile, which means donkeys and horses are separate species.
There's also another way to define species, called the phylogenetic species concept. This concept separates species that could interbreed, but don't because they live so far apart. If they live far apart for long enough, then they could eventually change too much to interbreed and become different biological species as well. One thing I always used to remember the different categories the animal kingdom is divided was to remember:
- Kingdom
- Phylum
- Class
- Order
- Family
- Genus
- Species
Or in other words…..
Keep Plucking Chickens Or Fear Getting Sacked
The definition of species is a difficult concept to define; these are two commonly agreed upon definitions, but the exact separations are still debated. Species classification isn't a natural phenomenon, but rather one used by biologists to help them talk about the plants and animals that they study.
Back in the Day
Centuries ago, scientists used the physical appearance or anatomy of the organism to figure out its species. Does it have hair, fur, feathers or scales? How many legs does it have? Does it live in oceans, lakes or on land? If it's a plant, how many leaves or flowers does it have? Appearances can be deceiving, though. For example, one species can also have multiple breeds, like dogs. All domesticated dogs are considered the same species (even though they came from not only wolves, but foxes and even coyotes) because they can make crossbreeds, but their widely varied appearance makes it easier to talk about separate breeds.
Modern Times
Today, scientists have more advanced technology. Researchers use the DNA of the organism to determine its species; the more similar DNA is to another animal, the more likely it is that they belong to the same species.

This morning, I came across Michael Yon's online magazine with his reporting from Iraq and Afghanistan. Spent a mesmerising hour reading his reports from the frontline and trying to analyse whether this fascinating combination of self-published, online words and pictures is the way photojournalism has to go in order to survive. His work is supported by reader donation.
Apart from the independent entrepreneurial approach, I think the most fascinating aspect of his work is that it puts a human face to these conflicts and tries to get beneath the surface of the shooting war with the kind of honesty that would be impossible for an embedded photojournalist working for a major publication.
Of his motivation, Yon says, "I was in the Army some years ago and maintained close contact with many friends who made a career of military service. Naturally, I had an interest in what was happening in Iraq–I had friends in harm's way. But what spurred me to drop what I was doing, get on a plane and fly halfway around the world, to a war zone, was a growing sense that what I was seeing reported on television, as well as in newspapers and magazines, was inconsistent with the reality my friends were describing. I wanted to see the truth, first hand, for myself."
Take a look. And if at all possible support modern independent photojournalism…

Mozart in the Jungle
Most people who know me know that I don't go in for television shows. Of course, as we get deeper into the 21st century, the line between "movie" and "show" is starting to blur quite a bit, but I can name on one hand shows that I've actually seen the full run of:
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Avatar: The Legend of Korra
There we have it. That's the television I've watched as an adult. I just don't get into TV. I've caught passing glimpses of shows that my roommates and wife watch (Sherlock Bumberdumb, Doctor Bleh, Dowdy Abbey, American Horror Boring, CSI: The Same Thing Over and Over), and they're all just crap. The acting is flat, the scripts are formulaic and filled with tropes, and they don't interest me at all.
I saw a tweet from @SylvieBarak that mentioned this show "Mozart in the Jungle" that mentioned a hot chick, so of course I went looking and found it on Amazon Prime. It's an original series from Amazon because that's what you do now. The premise seemed interesting: a show based around the seedy underside of a major metropolitan orchestra (The NY Symphony Orchestra in this case), and that purported to show the orchestra members as real characters rather than stuffy people in suits.
I have Prime, and I was bored and doing something else, so I clicked the first episode. It wasn't mind-blowing but it was compelling enough to watch the second. By the time I was four episodes in, I was pretty much hooked.
The thing that drew me in was that the acting is superb. Really, this could have been a feature-length film. Even with the episodic format, they're not formulaic and are instead just chunks of the continuing story (I guess that's why I like those other three shows I've watched). The acting is fantastic and the story is character-driven, and that's very important to me. While a few of the characters are one-dimensional (after all, this is about a whole symphony orchestra and therefore you cannot have a character drama about 100 different people), the main characters are surprisingly deep and interesting. Since this is a TV-MA rating, it means they can be real adults rather than a sanitized version for television.
At any rate, if you have Prime and a spare 300 minutes, I heartily recommend the first season of Mozart in the Jungle.
Welp, guess I know what's coming after Twin Peaks.0
I absolutely agree, this show is fantastic.0
@Karma said:
No shit. I'm only on episode 4 of season 2 and it has just gone off the rails. They have also cast too many brunette white dudes who look alike and I sometimes forget who some of them are. I think if a certificate is on the line I may persevere.0
GOOD LORD WHAT IS GOING ON, TWIN PEAKS. (s02e07)0
You can sum up the drama in an orchestra pretty easily:
Violins: Cut-throat competition with no mercy.
Violas: Entitled cut-throat competition.
Cellos: God's gift to music between their legs.
Basses: Don't care, still debating on French versus German bows.
Flutes: Expect people to hear me despite only ever whispering.
Oboes: IDGAF unless I have the melody.
Clarinets: Comparing their tattoos of the opening glissando from Rhapsody in Blue.
Bassoons: Have no life, spending it all making reeds.
Trumpets: Our notes are the word of God, also terrible kissers.
Trombones: Dick jokes and counting rests. Excellent kissers.
Horns: Wagner or forget it.
Tuba: Basically the Bass section summed up in 1 person.
1,2,3,4; 2,2,3,4; 3,2,3,4...
All in all, it sounds like it would make great TV.3

I cannot figure out why Amazon doesn't seem to be marketing this to me. They know I watched the whole first season. Why is it not front and center?0
Agreed. I have not seen a trailer or anything for it. Anywhere. I heard about it on Twitter from a friend. wtf.0

"A child without toys is like a boat without sails "
José de la Gándara
2014 was a very special year for Famosa. During the month of November, we celebrated the 5th edition of Juegorama, the annual study on children and toys. This year the event focused on how toys are made and we revealed that the process often times takes up to 18 months, considering everything from the first sketches and design to actually making a prototype and then producing and distributing it. What was our main goal? To teach how Famosa makes toys and show the world that creating a toy requires teamwork, innovation, quality, safety and tradition.

Use the conditions presented here for Clone E6-1 Jurkat cells as a starting point for optimization of CRISPR reagent delivery in cell types requiring electroporation.
Looking for CRISPR genome editing protocols? Read about our growing library of protocols and user methods—we may have what you need to get started. And, if you have a novel protocol for using Alt-R CRISPR RNA and/or nucleases, find out how to share it with the research community. <<CRISPR genome editing protocols and user methods>>
Derived from T lymphocytic cells, the Jurkat cell line has been cloned into numerous sublines that are used in research laboratories to study immune system signaling, disease impact on the immune system, susceptibility of cancers to drugs and radiation treatment, and viral infection through chemokine receptors (such as with HIV). However, these cells are known for being notoriously difficult to transfect. This presents a problem for researchers interested in applying CRISPR genome editing technologies in these cells.
Lipofection protocols are often used for adherent, immortalized, eukaryotic cell lines, with protocol specifics often requiring optimization for different cell lines. For primary cells, non-dividing cells, and difficult-to-transfect cells, such as Jurkat cells, another delivery method, such as electroporation, is often required. The goal is to identify conditions that confer maximal editing efficiency and minimal cell toxicity.
We have already presented an optimized lipofection protocol for CRISPR reagents in HEK293 cells (see Alt-R® CRISPR-Cas9 System Users Guide). This article describes the optimization of electroporation conditions for delivery of CRISPR RNAs and Cas9 nuclease into Jurkat cells (Clone E6-1), using the Neon® Transfection System (Thermo Fisher Scientific). We also present data showing successful genome editing using our identified electroporation conditions for this cell line. The approach can be applied to other difficult-to-transfect cells, such as B cells, macrophages, and monocytes.
Scientists at IDT have established that CRISPR RNAs and Cas9 protein are most effectively delivered to transfected cell lines as a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex (see data in the article, Improve your genome editing with the Alt-R S.p. Cas9 Nuclease 3NLS and modified crRNAs).
As part of the IDT Alt-R CRISPR-Cas9 System reagents, we offer crRNA, tracrRNAs, and the S.p. Cas9 Nuclease 3NLS. The RNAs are length optimized and chemically modified to further enhance genome editing by rendering the oligos less prone to degradation by nucleases. These modified RNAs thus have greater stability that leads to higher editing efficiencies, especially when used with the S.p. Cas9 Nuclease 3NLS.
For our Jurkat cell delivery optimization experiments, we therefore chose to use RNPs consisting of modified CRISPR RNAs complexed with Cas9 nuclease.
For the optimization experiments, we designed an Alt-R CRISPR-Cas9 System crRNA targeting the HPRT gene. The crRNA and tracrRNA were complexed in a 1:1 ratio with a final working concentration of 45 µM. We then generated RNP complexes by combining S.p. Cas9 Nuclease 3NLS protein and crRNA:tracrRNA in a 1:1.2 ratio, with a final working concentration of 18:21.6 µM.
The Jurkat cell line has been cloned into numerous sublines. For these experiments, we used Clone E6-1 Jurkat cells (ATCC® TIB-152™). 2 x 105 Jurkat cells were diluted in 10 µL Resuspension Buffer R (Neon Transfection System, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and added to 1 µL RNP complex. To test the effect of carrier DNA, 1 µL sequence optimized carrier DNA was added to a final concentration of 1.8 µM. For samples excluding carrier, we added 1 µL Buffer R.
Using a 10-µL Neon Transfection System tip, we followed the Neon® Optimization protocol (Publication Number MAN0001557, Revision A.0, page 22), which tests 24 electroporation settings, including voltage, pulse width, and number of pulses. Electroporated cells (10 µL) were mixed with 175 µL media, and 50 µL diluted cells were plated in triplicate in 100 µL pre-warmed media in a 96-well plate.
After 72 hours, we took images of the cell cultures to determine cell density. Genomic DNA was isolated to analyze genome editing using the T7EI mismatch endonuclease assay, as described in the Alt-R CRISPR-Cas9 System Users Guide. Note that the T7El assay underestimates total editing (see the sidebar, T7EI mismatch endonuclease assay for genome editing analysis)
Table 1 lists the 24 electroporation test conditions. Cell density (reflective of cell toxicity) are scored using a 4 point scale; T7EI editing efficiency results are scored as percentages of detected edited alleles over non-edited alleles. Based on these two parameters, we identified optimal conditions for Neon electroporation of Jurkat cells as:
Table 1. Testing electroporation variables identifies delivery conditions compatible with successful genome editing in Jurkat cells. Test samples (n=24) were exposed to varying electroporation settings (voltage, pulse width, number of pulses) following the Neon® Optimization protocol (Publication Number MAN0001557, Revision A.0, page 22). (See text for experimental details.) Post electroporation, cells were cultured (72 hr) and then photographed to measure cell density. Genomic DNA was amplified and subjected to a T7El mismatch endonuclease assay to analyze genomic editing. Cell density results were scored using a 4 point scale; T7EI editing efficiency results were scored as percentages of detected edited alleles over non-edited alleles. Based on results for these two parameters, the best conditions for Neon electroporation of Jurkat cells were identified, noted by the checkmark (blue box) in test sample row Opt_24. For comparison, the conditions for electroporating Jurkat cells used by Liang et al (2015) [3] and provided by the Neon System optimization protocol for use with Jurkat cells [4] are also provided. Note that different Jurkat subclones may have been used in these previous reports. Also, Liang et al. (2015) electroporate less RNP than was used here.
Figure 1. Successful genome editing in electroporated Jurkat cells with carrier DNA augmenting editing efficiency. Editing efficiency was plotted for the 24 electroporation conditions tested (Table 1), comparing absence vs presence of carrier DNA. In Table 1, we identified test sample Opt_24 as providing the best conditions for Neon electroporation of Jurkat cells, and have noted this data point here. For comparison, data from Liang X, et al. (2015) [3] and the Thermo Fisher Scientific website [4] were also plotted. Note that different Jurkat subclones may have been used in these previous reports. Also, Liang et al. (2015) electroporate less RNP than was used here.
The data presented here demonstrate that use of Alt-R® CRISPR-Cas9 System reagents for successful genome editing is not limited to easy-to-transfect cell types. With the resulting optimized electroporation conditions, we have shown Jurkat cell genome modification >75% + 0.4%. Keep in mind that RNA, protein, or RNP delivery conditions will require optimization for each individual cell line. The editing efficiency we obtained in this study is substantially higher than that achieved with the Thermo Fisher Scientific protocol, as described on their website [4], and is also higher than that described by Liang et al [3] (Figure 2). While these authors may have used distinct Jurkat subclones, which could explain some of the editing efficiency difference, our addition of a specific type of carrier DNA that enhances editing efficiency has clearly contributed to the superior data we obtained.
In cell types where lipofection has proven ineffective, electroporation should be considered as an alternative RNP delivery method. The electroporation optimization experiment presented here can provide a starting point for optimization of CRISPR reagent delivery in other cell types.

PM Modi to feature in Discovery channel's show 'Man Vs Wild'
Published on August 12, 2019
by Sachin Murdeshwar
Mumbai:Fevicryl, a leading art and craft brand from the house of Pidilite Industries, attempts to etch their name in the prestigious Limca Book of Records by creating the largest map of India made withmini tri-color canvasesat Navi Mumbai's Seawoods Grand Central Mall.
The feat was a part of the brand's unique initiative #AllCanArt, which aims at encouraging everyone to practice art beyond the idea of skills and perfection using Fluid art technique. Fluid art does not require any technical know-how and allows people to freely paint and let their creativity flow.
Thisextraordinary accomplishment was unveiled today, as a precursor to Independence Dayat Seawoods Grand Central Mall. The larger than life map measures 25 feet in length 25 feet in width. It has been created by assembling creative masterpieces together, crafted by 97 Parkinson's patients, 300+ school students and 68 corporate employees. The participants painted the canvases in tri color using Fevicryl acrylic colors.
The creative installation will be displayed at the mall from 11 Aug 2019-18 Aug 2019, to celebrate the colors of India on the occasion of Independence Day.
Mr. ShantanuBhanja, CEO, Consumer Products, Pidilite Industries Ltd, said "Through #AllCanArt, we wish to convey that now anyone with a creative intent can paint and create magic. There is no need for formal training. Fluid art is free flowing and can be practiced even by an amateur which makes it a great art form for everyone. As a mark of celebration of Independence Day, and as pafrt of Fevicryl initiative-of making creativity fun- we are elated to offer a platform to people of different walks of life to explore their creative selves. We are confident of etching our way into the Limca Book of record."
Mr. Nilesh Singh, Center Director, Seawoods Grand Central Mall, said, "Art is not just about creativity. It also aids for the imagination artistry of people in the otherwise busy and hectic urban life.We would like to encourage all our patrons across age groups to participate in this unique initiative by Fevicryl. At Seawoods Grand Central Mall, we take great pride in playing host to such unique initiatives which involve the society and have a larger impact."
The initiativekick startedwith a session held at Our Lady of Salvation Church, Dadar and at Shree VardhamanSthanakvasi Jain SanghBorivali with Parkinson's Disease & Movement Disorder Society (PDMDS).97 Parkinson's patients participated in the workshop and set free their creativity by pouring colors on the canvas using Fluid Art technique. Despite the challenges they face, the art form allowed the participants to showcase their artistic prowess and unleash their hidden talent.
The second leg of the activity happened at M.K.E.S School, Maladwhere 300+ school studentscame together to try their hands on the unique art form. Similarly, canvases were created and contributed by corporates across city.
Penchant for art runs deep into SeawoodsGrand Central Mall as it has always encouraged artists and talents to showcase their art form at the mall. Largest diya portrait of ViratKohli, 46X24ft mosaic of Sachin Tendulkar using bespoke tailoring materials and 60X40 ftRangoli showcasing Maharashtrian culture during Maharashtra Divas are some of the earlier artworks showcased at the mall.
