Strong growth in exhibitions over the last four months has helped Centaur report a 14 per cent rise in revenues.
According to an interim management statement covering 1 July to 31 October 2012, group revenues showed double-digit growth year-on-year, while pre-tax earning margins benefited by recent restructuring initiatives.
Key contributors were exhibition business and shows such as Employee Benefits Live, Aidex and the National Home Improvement Show, which all performed ahead of expectations. As previously reported in EN, the National Home Improvement Show claimed record numbers for visitor and exhibition attendance this year.
Centaur said exhibitions now accounted for 30 per cent of total revenues, up from 22 per cent on the same period last year. It also claimed to be generating good momentum by building a strong pipeline of event launches.
The company restructured into three core divisions last year: Events, Business Publishing and Business Information. While the Events and Information divisions are performing solidly, advertising revenues in the marketing, legal and financial communities remained weak. As a result, underlying revenue as a group declined by four per cent.
In its full-year report to 30 June, Centaur claimed to be on a growth trajectory led by strong re-bookings across its core show portfolio.
"We have seen a significant improvement in our revenue profile and cost base at the start of the 2013 financial year, and the business has demonstrated strong momentum in growing its revenues from digital events," chief executive Geoff Wilmot said.
"While trading conditions remain challenging in some markets, we are well placed to deliver further growth in 2013 and continue to make good progress towards our medium-term targets. We anticipate trading to be in line with our expectations for the current financial year."

Contemporary rock band Honor By August will perform a free acoustic concert this Wednesday, April 15, to raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease in this year's National Public Health Week (NPHW) event series. The concert will be in the Student Center Theater from 11:45 AM to 12:45 PM.
The concert is part of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America's "Raise Your Voice For Care" college initiative, which also features information sessions and a workshop on songwriting therapy led by Honor By August lead singer Michael Pearsall. He is also scheduled to perform by the National Public Health Week display table in the Student Center atrium in the minutes leading up to the concert.
The events call attention to Alzheimer's, a progressive, degenerative disorder that affects an estimated 5.1 Americans by robbing them of memory as well as thinking and language skills.
The concert and presentations, as well as all events in the NPHW lineup, are free and open to the public, but registration is required. NPHW is sponsored by the School of Health Sciences and Human Services, the Master of Public Health program, and the student group, Society of Public Health Advocates.
Check out this Hofstra shout-out from Honor By August's Michael Pearsall:

BDK America is happy to provide selected volumes in the BDK English Tripiṭaka series as available for use by students and scholars as PDF downloads at no cost.
We have adopted the following convention for naming these files.
The following is the skeletal format:
All our filenames will contain three elements, and many will contain four. Each discrete element is separated by an underscore.
- dBET — All filenames will begin with the opening designation dBET indicating the general class of "digital BDK English Tripiṭaka" files.
- Alpha/Beta Version Identifier (Optional). Some filenames will indicate Alpha versions, which may vary in pagination from the existing print volume, with an updated font. Other filenames will indicate Beta versions, which provide a PDF of the original edition of the volume but may have limitations in search functionality and retain the older font. Both Alpha and Beta versions will be replaced updated versions over time that adhere to current style, usage, and format for more recent volumes in the BDK English Tripiṭaka Series.
- T9999 — Optional Source Identifier. Files that contain the translation of a single text include a capital letter and number of the text. Possible letter prefixes include T for Taishō (as in T784) and Z for Zoku-zokyou (as in Z999) etc. To avoid unwieldy filenames, if the volume includes multiple works we will not attempt to list all texts by their Taishō or Zoku-zokyou number.
- BriefTitle — All filenames will include a brief title based on the full title of the volume.
- yyyy — The publication year of the printed volume.
These designations will be useful in case of any future revisions or differing presentations of the texts in question.
- dBET_T0614_SutraConcentration_2009.pdf
- dBET_ThreePureLandSutras_2003.pdf
- dBET_Beta_LivesofGreatMonksandNuns_2002.pdf
Copyright Years
The copyright year in the filename is the copyright year of the print volume.
The dBET files include their own brief copyright designation (usually in the first few pages of the volume) showing the year of the creation of the digital file. The year of the file copyright does not appear in the filename.
The printed text of The Three Pureland Sutras is copyrighted in 2003. The filename shows the 2003 date. However, the copyright year of the PDF currently available for download is 2016. The dBET copyright notice and year appears in the first or second page of the PDF, in this format:

It didn't really click at first. It hadn't found its people. By 1958 Leo Fender had already established his name as one of the worlds premier instrument manufacturers. His tube guitar amp designs and Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars were being used by musicians across the globe and his Californian company was something people looked to for revolutionary instruments that would influence the music of the time. So in 1958 he released a guitar he saw as his best work yet. A top of the line electric guitar aimed at jazz musicians, with an all new offset waist and comfortable contour, unique wide range pickups with the ability to switch between a lead an rhythm circuit with one switch and an innovative tremolo system. The Jazzmaster would be Fender's premium electric guitar that jazz musicians wouldn't be able to wait to get their hands on. But when it was released it didn't take as Leo planned. Jazz musicians took little to no interest and the guitars started collecting dust in guitar stores and pawn shops across America. Eventually the guitar found it's audience with the 60's surf musicians of the time and the long trajectory of the Jazzmaster and its offset sibling the Jaguar began.
Since its inception, the Jazzmaster has been found in the hands of countless iconoclastic guitarists that have helped redefine what it is to be an electric guitar player. After it's prominence in the surf music scene of the 60's it found itself back to being a thrift store regular. Guitarists who didn't relate to the bloated excess of rock music in the 70's eventually gravitated toward the Jazzmaster and it became the guitar of choice for punk and new wave artists in the late 70's such as Tom Verlaine of Television and Elvis Costello. It was the guitar of choice for their iconic records 'Marquee Moon' and 'My Aim Is True', which bought forth a new underground appeal to guitar that was yet to find its people. The 80's and 90's saw the rise of indie/alternative rock and grunge and the Jazzmaster became a prominent instrument choice for many guitarists throughout this time. Artists such as Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth, J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr, Ira Kaplan of Yo La Tengo and Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine became some of the most individual and respected guitarists of their time and helped popularize the guitar to a whole new generation of musicians. After decades of being a forgotten child of the Fender family, the Jazzmaster had finally found it's people and was being understood for the singular and innovative design that it was.
1958 is the 60th anniversary of the guitar and Fender have a slew of different Jazzmaster happenings to celebrate. They have released a limited run 60th anniversary '58 model, some new colour options in other Fender series as well as a bunch of videos and blog articles to get people up to date on the history of the guitar. Undoubtedly one of the most individual guitarists to pick up the Jazzmaster is Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine. His use of the tremolo arm to create a warped, melting affect when run through his enormous array of effects and amps helped define the Shoegaze genre and change the way people approached the electric guitar thereafter. Kevin speaks from his studio 'somewhere in Ireland' on his association and approach to the Jazzmaster in a couple of videos Fender have put together. They're well worth a look, not just for MBV and Jazzmaster fans but for anyone interested in the history of Fender and electric guitars in general. You can have a look through the videos below and can also browse our range of Jazzmaster's on our site, or alternatively view the entire range of Fender guitars.

Middlebury scored five goals in a 9:24 span on its way to the team's fourth NESCAC Championship in the five years of the tournament. The Panthers will make their 10th straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament when the pairings are announced late Sunday night. Trinity will hope for an at-large bid.
The teams felt each other out in the early goings, with Levi Doria of Middlebury having the best chance to score at 9:45, but he missed the open net with Douglas Kiselius trying to get back into position. John Dawson had a similar chance at the 12:00 mark, but his shot missed high. The Bantams earned their first shot of the game at 14:41 of the first period as Ryan Stevens was stopped by Marc Scheuer as he was breaking in all alone.
Trinity scored the game's first goal at 4:47 of the second period. Simon Dionne circled the net and faked a wrap-around before finding Ryan Stevens in the slot for the one-timer. Middlebury answered on the power play just 3:06 later as Mike Velez ripped a shot from the left point before Brian Phinney scored on a backhander from the high slot. On the ensuing face-off, Shady Young came out of the pack with the puck and beat Kiselius with a low shot to the right side. Kevin Cooper made it a 3-1 game at 11:35 as he beat Kiselius through the five-hole on a breakaway for the shorthanded goal. Middlebury scored another special teams goal at 16:39 as John Dawson's snap shot from down low deflected into the net of Colin Wilson-Murphy's skate. The Panthers kept coming as Dawson scored another power play goal just 34 seconds later, after a rebound and a scramble in the slot area.
Stevens scored his second of the game at 12:35 of the third period as he tipped in a shot from Brendan Timmins. Foote added the Panther's fourth power play goal of the game at 15:19 to make it a 6-2 final.
Scheuer made 18 saves in goal for Middlebury, while Kiselius made 26 stops for Trinity.

Built For War, Destined For More
Designed by Henry Ford himself and built by the Liberty Ship Building Company in Wilmington, North Carolina, the Sapona had big plans. Her first purpose was to join the emergency fleet program during WWI, commissioned by former president Woodrow Wilson to serve as a troop transport – but war wasn't in her fate. After a late completion, she was sold to a man named Carl Fisher, who turned her into a casino for a brief time. His ultimate plan was to turn the Sapona into a private floating club in the keys – but that never came to fruition either.
The Sapona moved into the hands of the mysterious one-armed Bruce Bethel, a prior British war captain, AKA Bimini's Rum King during the Prohibition Era. The Sapona was the ultimate rum runner, a godsend for alcohol-craved US citizens. At the time, the illicit liquor trafficking business was booming in the Bahamas. Much of it was traded and stored on the islands before it made its way to warehouses, speakeasies, and other hideaways along the South Florida coast. Bethel helped island inhabitants make a comfortable living from the export liquor trade and put Bimini on the map as a smuggler's paradise – but the captain had even bigger plans. Bethel imagined the Sapona as a floating nightclub fueled by alcohol and the energy of nightlife, but, once more, the Sapona had a different idea of her own fate.
In 1965, in rolled "Billion Dollar Betsy," the first tropical cyclone in the Atlantic basin to accrue at least $1 billion in damage. With 150 mph winds, the Sapona ran aground and officially became the "S.S. Sapona Shipwreck." With its concrete foundation and ideal location so close off the coast of the US, the Sapona became a bullseye for WWII fighter planes and bombers' target practice. But once more, the Sapona had plans of her own. In 1954, a group of five torpedo bombers mysteriously disappeared during their return from target practice over the Sapona. This disappearance was forever known as the mystery of Flight 19. Theories still circle to this day, but we may never know what truly happened to the lost squadron. All target practice on the Sapona stopped on that day, leaving the wreck to live out the rest of her days in peace.
Dive Into The Depths of Mystery
Instead of gamblers, alcohol smugglers, and torpedo bombers, the Sapona is now inhabited by thousands of tropical colored fish, lobsters, and creatures of the sea. With the help of Bimini Undersea, you yourself can explore the history and mysteries of the Sapona. Hop on a quick boat ride to the wreck and jump right into the turquoise waters. Your tour guide will lead in the snorkel adventure of a lifetime, all while relating the tales of the wreck's past. Sitting in only 15 feet of water, the Sapona presents the perfect opportunity for both novice and expert divers to explore this unique piece of US history.
Dive right into the body of the ship and you'll immediately feel a sense of wonder. Who were the people who gambled on this ship almost a century ago? Exactly how much booze was smuggled into the US by this relic? And what truly happened to the men of Flight 19? Today the Sapona is an underwater museum. Visit anytime of the year and you'll find yourself captivated by the concrete walls that have seen things we only read about in books. Swim by the still intact propeller, the rusted pillars, and maybe even find yourself a lucky souvenir – it isn't uncommon to find 20 caliber bullets resting within the ship to this day.
When you're done exploring the depths of the Sapona, climb up to the top of the wreck and take the 40 feet plunge into Bimini's crisp waters. The Sapona Snorkel Adventure is an exploration like no other, like the pages of a history book come to life. Feel the power of its history and learn more about the fascinating tale of this incredible Bahamas offshore wreck this summer with a trip to the closest Caribbean island to the US coast.

I had a thought – just needed to write it down. It won't mean anything to folks now, but in the future.
At the end of K's story, H dies in her arms. The body is preserved, though. When K is placed about Amantia, and the ship tries to fix itself, it uses H's body as a way to do so. A ends up in H's body.
Now, K's got two goals: find who made her the way she is, and find a way to get A back in her body so H can be brought back to life completely.
The answers are through the gate.

Towards a Sustainable Information Society: Deconstructing WSIS
Editor: Jan Servaes, Nico Carpentier
Publisher: Bristol, UK and Portland, OR: Intellect Books, 2006
Review Published: March 2007
First of all, I want to express my gratitude towards the RCCS and David Silver for selecting our book as the RCCS' book of the month, and towards Arthur Morin for writing this fabulous review. Morin's interpretation is indeed very thorough and well-considered, and I see little reason to dispute its main claims. There is one argument that I want to emphasize -- given its importance -- and that is "the issue of the legitimacy of NGOs and civil society actors."
The analysis of civil society's role at the WSIS, and of the experiments with multistakeholderism, have indeed shown the complexity of our present-day democratic practices. Our conceptualizations of democracy, how we think, practice, and live democracy, are still (at least partially) given meaning through the traditional link with the nation-state and the translations of representation into universal suffrage. The WSIS experiment has shown the need to find a new balance between democratic pluralism, participatory democracy and liberal-representative democracy.
Part of my later work, still together with Bart Cammaerts, has taken us further on this road. The next book of the ECREA book series, edited by Cammaerts and myself, is not coincidentally entitled Reclaiming the media: communication rights and democratic media roles. It is the third book that arises out of the intellectual work of the ECREA membership, and especially out of the ECREA Communication and Democracy Section.
This new book aims to look at four thematic areas that structure the opportunities for democratizing (media) democracy. A first section is devoted to citizenship and the public spheres, giving special attention to the general theme of communication rights. The second section elaborates further on a notion central to communication rights, namely that of participation. The third section returns to the traditional representational role in relation to democracy and citizenship, scrutinizing and criticizing the democratic efforts of contemporary journalism. The fourth section moves outside of the (traditional) media system, and deals with the diversity of media and communication strategies of activists.
And as a final footnote: as Morin rightfully remarks, ECCR did indeed merge with ECA into ECREA, the European Communication Research and Education Organization. Only a few months ago, this new organization celebrated its first birthday, and the ECREA books are one of its important realizations. For that reason too, we appreciate the attention spent on the ECREA book series.

Android 5.0 (Lollipop) has been one of the biggest talking points and headlines over the past few months within the android world. This is not too surprising when you factor that this is one of the biggest changes to the android operating in a long time. The update to Lollipop sees a massive redesign in the aesthetics of the operating system, the inclusion of newer feature and also a number of enhanced security options. That said, one feature which has seemed to be plaguing a number of Lollipop running devices is what has become known as the 'memory leak' bug.
For those who have not updated to Lollipop or encountered the issue yet, then it is an issue in where the memory of the device fills up and is unable to clear itself again. This has reported results in random app crashes and the inability to re-open an app again, due to the memory fill. Well, Google has been on the issue for some time with the issue noted on the issue tracker. Not to mention, manufacturers and developers trying to roll out their own fixes. In fact, in spite of the release of Android 5.1 quite recently, it still seems the issue persists. This is also in spite of it being reported Google does have a fix for the issue which had yet to be released.
Well, if you are still experiencing the issue, running stock android, on 5.0-5.0.2 and are rooted then a fix may be available to you. This is a fix not brought to you by Google but instead by the clever folks over at XDA. A MOD has been created that reportedly fixes the memory leak issue. However, this is a Xposed MOD which means that those running Android 5.1 cannot currently use the fix, due to the lack of a compatible Android 5.1 Xposed. So, to get the fix working you will need to downgrade from Android 5.1, be rooted and have Xposed on your device. Not to mention that the fix is intended for AOSP versions of Lollipop and not skinned versions offered by manufacturers.

Basic training
Franco Bonadio discovers the driving force behind some firmly established, craft-based design talent.
The design business is full of artists. They are the people who can turn an idea into reality, who, when the talking stops, get on and deliver the goods. Independent by nature, they are usually well respected and popular people in design consultancies, because they are really good at what they do and they don't make a lot of noise about it. They can't always tell us how they got there and we are usually reassured when they tell us that they have taken it as far as they can. They rarely disappoint.
So who are these people? What motivates them? What advice would they give to people who might think of following a similar path?
I talked to four of them, all employed by design consultancies who obviously value the craft that these individuals produce.
Martin Roche is a senior designer at Enterprise IG. He studied interior and exhibition design at Reigate School of Art nearly 20 years ago. "Art school gave me a wonderful self belief, an arrogance, even, and I thought I could do anything when I left," he says. On leaving he started working with Brennan & Whalley, which specialises in interiors and museums. Roche describes it as "a company which really believed that God was in the details. It was like a time bomb had gone off. Suddenly, I was being knocked into shape by people who really knew what they were doing. I quickly realised I had all the attitude, but not the skill of an accomplished designer."
Fourteen years later, Roche had learnt just about every aspect of the job, from initial concepts right through to site supervision, and he feels this gave him the necessary skills to adapt to this ever-changing design world.
After a spell at Met Studios, he joined Enterprise IG in 1997. "Joining Enterprise IG was a real career move, because I had never heard of branding before and it took me six months to understand what anybody was talking about," says Roche.
"I found that I had to rebuild my own sense of value, so I started by listening more and eventually discovered that I could use my visualising skills to translate people's ideas to good effect."
When working on branding projects, Roche uses drawing like a kind of sculpture, to allow his ideas to take shape. "I hack away at the drawings until they clearly communicate the ideas that we are trying to get across. Drawing for me is only a means to an end, as it is not the finished product. Drawing has it's own set of problems, too, so I try not to get too involved in it. It is just a way of expressing what's in my head. You have to learn to care and not to care about your own work – if you get precious with any of it the work soon suffers."
When Roche works with a team, his job is usually to translate ideas and see if they make any sense. He finds the conceptual part of the job the most painful, but also the most rewarding. "Concept work requires a relentless application, you have to be comfortable with uncertainty. It is emotionally painful and physically hard, too," he says. He never draws at weekends or as a hobby, preferring inspiration from anything but art, it seems. Music and his kids seem to be the common theme. "Children never cease to amaze me – how they can look at things with a freshness that adults often miss – and all types of music influence me in the way that mood and atmosphere can be created," he says.
"The future in design is about providing people with more than just transactional experiences, but emotional and personal experiences that affect all the senses," he says. Roche advises any would-be-designer who's interested in applying themselves to this craft to "be prepared for the knocks, keep your attitude and only bring it out when you really need to Oh, and pace yourself," he says.
Roger Berry is a designer at Loewy Group. He has been working there for a "mere 39 years".
He grew up near Harrow in Middlesex, and started out at junior art school there before moving on to do a National Diploma course in graphic design. It was the likes of Peter Blake, he recalls, who created the wonderful "freedom" that he felt at art school. Berry's first job was with Hoover in the publicity department, doing "a bit of everything". A few other jobs followed before eventually settling at Loewy, where he has worked since 1972.
In the early days there was no Letraset and all typography had to be created by hand. "Because lettering, for example, took so long to render, you picked up an intimate knowledge of how it was constructed, so you developed a good feel for what was the right font to draw," he says. "Packaging was about 70 per cent logo and 30 per cent picture. Then the logo had to say everything: the product, the quality, the price and the attributes that the product stood for. All this you had to try to get across with a piece of type."
Berry still works with the same clutch pencil he had when he started out. "All I need is my pencil and my C90 tracing paper and I am away. I don't like reference books for ideas. We are continually bombarded with imagery today, so, instead, I try to unlock what's in my subconscious because anything that's got in there has got stuck for a reason, and I look no further".
"With the design team I try to latch on to one word in the brief or something someone has said that captures what we are trying to communicate," he adds. Has the computer held back the quality of Berry's work? "Not really," he says. "When Macs first came out, I used to spray my tracing-paper sketches on to the screen with Spraymount and then try to match it in Illustrator. The angle and pressure you put on to the paper affects the quality of a line. A mouse can't do that. I basically trace what I've drawn, but then I can stretch or distort it a little before I start to look at things like colour. But if I start to tamper with my original sketch by, say, more than 1 per cent, I'll scrap it and start again."
But there are advantages, too. Roger has arthritis, and the Mac has taken a lot of the physical work out of the process. "I couldn't be dealing with hand-rendering now," he adds.
These days he prefers to work on the bits of a job rather than the whole thing. Designers ask him to create a piece of the pack or identity in order to explore different directions. "I have a box file with lots of bits I have done in the past that they can go through to try and get a bit more sense out of them," he says with a wry smile, adding: "What they don't know is that when they say we want something modern, I have seen it come in-and-out-of-fashion a couple of times before."
Berry's advice for anyone thinking of going into design is to do one thing well, "draw", he says. "If you can draw it, you can do anything."
Someone recently asked him for an original sketch drawing so that he could hang it on a wall at home. "He didn't care what it was just so long as it was one of my original drawings, no computer or any of that sort of thing," he recalls. Was this person in pursuit of a museum piece to look at and admire, the way we like to marvel at engravings from the old masters? Or was it just the pure quality of the craft that he valued, made by a real craftsman? Perhaps it was a bit of both.
Concept creation
Ian Hay works as a designer at Wolff Olins. He is perhaps best summed up as someone who can look at things differently.
Hay studied at the Dundee-based Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design. He got into design because a mate told him there might be some money in it, and being an artist would leave you poor.
"Art school was brilliant because of the people you met and the fantastic freedom you were allowed," he says. He started working with the Forestry Commission, illustrating and designing books, and the people at Her Majesty's Stationery Office, who, Hay recalls, "really cared about your education and looked after you", gave him his apprenticeship.
After various ups and downs with different companies, Hay ended up at Wolff Olins around 1976, and has been there more or less ever since. "Michael Wolff and Wally Olins were amazing. They were real catalysts for new thinking," he says. He cut his teeth on the Volkswagen identity, which took four years to complete.
Repsol was another one of these. What were you trying to achieve, I ask? "You don't always know until it finds you sometimes," he says. "The Spanish government, INI, wanted to create an international brand that it intended to float. In its infinite wisdom it named the company after its lubricant product. The breakthrough in thinking came about by not seeing it as an international company which happened to come from Spain, but reflect instead a proud and progressive Spanish company with all of its dynamism, warmth and culture of its people," says Hay.
Hay describes himself as a craftsman. "You have to dig and dig, until the problem that has presented itself is properly answered. My job today is working with the younger teams, making sure they are asking the right questions, cross-checking what we are trying to do. It's also about adding depth, as well as, of course, the hard graft of making it happen," he says.
The concept phase is also about changing the way that you approach things mentally. "When you are in concept mode you turn on your receptors to everything," he says. "It can be exhausting because the right idea can come from anywhere at any time, and you have to be ready for this," he says.
Where does he go to look for inspiration? "Anywhere." When does he know he has got something which is well crafted? "You just know," he says.
What advice would he like to give to anybody who wants to follow a similar path? "Don't," he laughs, before adding, "Believe in yourself that you can do it."
Paul Desmond studied illustration at Camberwell College of Arts following a foundation course in Liverpool, where he grew up. He knew from his early days he wanted to pursue illustration and even halfway through his course-work he began doing commissioned work. After leaving Camberwell, he and a couple of friends set up a studio in London's Covent Garden doing all kinds of illustration and visualisation work. "It was fast and varied work. You did anything and everything, working with markers to airbrushing to acrylics," he says.
He then started working for Landor Associates. "The consultancy already had an in-house visualiser, but eventually he left and, before I knew it, I had his desk, and then once you're on the phone list, it's all over," he says. He has been with Landor Associates since 1990, and now works part-time with the group along with other consultancies. "I get asked to work in a number of ways," he says. "If it's packaging, it's usually trying to capture a mood for a photograph. If I'm working with the identity teams, then I get involved at the early stages of mark-making. Environmental work means that I can make use of my visualising skills to help demonstrate how a space might work."
I ask him how he feels about his work. "Oh, I'm not precious," he says apologetically. "It's important that the designers really feel that this is their work, so I don't become attached to anything I do." But you must get a bit fed up when designers inevitably tweak and tamper with your creations, I insist. "It is nice when stuff I do goes straight through without any modifications, but it isn't essential," he adds. I press him on the subject of quality and crafting for deep emotive responses, but Desmond stays quietly impassioned. "I work quite methodically, I have been doing this for years. I know how to draw. I build my drawings up through layers of sketches until it feels right, and I have gained confidence over the years so I know I don't get fazed by any aspects of a job. I will try anything to get the right result," he explains.
He has such a cool, detached attitude to his craft and he has kept an open mind to new ideas. Like all professionals, he practises the basics day in, day out. He claims, "If you have a decent idea then my drawings can bring them to life." It's as simple as that.

Genesis 18:20-32
In those days, the LORD said:
"The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great,
and their sin so grave,
that I must go down and see whether or not their actions
fully correspond to the cry against them that comes to me.
I mean to find out."
While Abraham's visitors walked on farther toward Sodom,
the LORD remained standing before Abraham.
Then Abraham drew nearer and said:
"Will you sweep away the innocent with the guilty?
Suppose there were fifty innocent people in the city;
would you wipe out the place, rather than spare it
for the sake of the fifty innocent people within it?
Far be it from you to do such a thing,
to make the innocent die with the guilty
so that the innocent and the guilty would be treated alike!
Should not the judge of all the world act with justice?"
The LORD replied,
"If I find fifty innocent people in the city of Sodom,
I will spare the whole place for their sake."
Abraham spoke up again:
"See how I am presuming to speak to my Lord,
though I am but dust and ashes!
What if there are five less than fifty innocent people?
Will you destroy the whole city because of those five?"
He answered, "I will not destroy it, if I find forty-five there."
But Abraham persisted, saying "What if only forty are found there?"
He replied, "I will forbear doing it for the sake of the forty."
Then Abraham said, "Let not my Lord grow impatient if I go on.
What if only thirty are found there?"
He replied, "I will forbear doing it if I can find but thirty there."
Still Abraham went on,
"Since I have thus dared to speak to my Lord,
what if there are no more than twenty?"
The LORD answered, "I will not destroy it, for the sake of the twenty."
But he still persisted:
"Please, let not my Lord grow angry if I speak up this last time.
What if there are at least ten there?"
He replied, "For the sake of those ten, I will not destroy it."
But not even ten innocent people could be found in Sodom and Gomorrah.
And so, as recounted in Genesis 19:
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Did you know that in 2011, archeologists had found evidence of the total annihilation of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah by a catastrophic "heat event"("rained…brimstone and fire") sometime in the late Bronze Age, ca. 1,600 BC?
That "fiery, civilization-ending cataclysm" covered Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as many satellite towns and villages ("those cities, and all the plain"), in heavy ash and rendered the entire area uninhabitable ("all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground") for the next 600 years.
See my post of July 29, 2012, "Archeologists find evidence of the obliteration of Sodom-Gomorrah".
St. Paul counseled us in Philippians 2:13 to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" for, as Proverbs 1:7 and 14:27 instruct and warn us:
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
May the peace and love of Jesus Christ our Lord be with you,

- Gold prices traded higher on Friday as investors flocked to safe-haven assets while U.S. President Donald Trump announced the implementation of higher tariffs on Turkey. At 11:32 AM ET (15:32 GMT), gold futures for December delivery on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange rose $1.55, or 0.13%, to $1,213.93 a troy ounce. "I have just authorized a doubling of tariffs on steel and aluminum with respect to Turkey as their currency, the Turkish lira, slides rapidly downward against our very strong dollar!"
- Metals prices were mostly lower Friday as a plunging euro pushed the dollar above a year high, rattling investor sentiment on dollar-dominated commodities. But gold steadied on safe-haven demand. Gold futures for August delivery on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange fell by $0.90, or 0.07%, to $1,219.00 a troy ounce, but remained above an intraday low of $1,213.20.
- WTI crude oil prices slumped to a weekly loss, despite settling higher Friday on renewed bets on steeper losses of Iranian crude from market. Expectations for a rebound in oil demand growth also lifted sentiment. On the New York Mercantile Exchange crude futures for September delivery rose 82 cents settle at $67.63 a barrel, while on London's Intercontinental Exchange, Brent rose 0.97% to trade at $72.77 barrel.
- China's state media continued a barrage of criticism of the United States on Saturday as their tit-for-tat trade war escalated, while seeking to reassure readers the Chinese economy remains in strong shape. Commentaries in the People's Daily, China's top newspaper, likened the United States to a bull in a China shop running roughshod over the rules of global trade and said that China was "still one of the best-performing, most promising and most tenacious economies in the world."
- Talks between the United States and Mexico over the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement were set to drag into next week, as auto industry officials said on Friday that new sticking points had emerged over President Donald Trump's threat to impose steep automotive tariffs. Auto industry officials familiar with the talks said the Trump administration wants the ability to impose national security tariffs on future Mexican production from new auto assembly and parts plants.
- Japan's Economy Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said on Friday he had had productive trade talks with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and that they planned to meet again in September. He said both acknowledged the importance of expanding trade between the two nations. "We agreed to seek ways to promote Japan-U.S. trade by working out gaps between the two nations and expand areas to cooperate based on shared understanding," Motegi told re

I was born in 1955 in Saguenay, Quebec, Canada into a family of travellers. One of my first dreams was to discover the world. I started to travel with my family first and then by myself in the early 1970s. I discovered the world of birds in the mid-1980s and quickly became a travelling birder. During many years, I dreamed of taking pictures of birds. There are so many nice things that I have seen in my birder's life. In 2004, I bought my first digital camera followed by my first reflex camera in 2008. Today, I discover the world with new eyes.

Aqua MODIS, unlike its predecessor on board the Terra spacecraft, had always been thought to have been spared from significant deleterious impacts of electronic crosstalk on its imagery. However, recent efforts brought to our attention the presence of striping artifacts in Aqua MODIS images from band 24 (4.47$\mu$m), which upon further inspection proved to have a noticeable impact on the quality of the L1B product and to have been present since the beginning of the mission, in 2002. Using images of the Moon from scheduled lunar observations, we linked the artifacts with electronic crosstalk contamination of the response of detector 1 of band 24 by signal sent from the detector 10 of band 26 (1.375$\mu$m), a neighboring band in the same focal plane assembly. In this paper, we report on these findings, the artifact mitigation strategy adopted by us, and on our success in restoring band 24 detector 1 behavior and image quality.
