A short jaunt with a spectacular view, the Wild Horse Monument on the Columbia River Gorge is a perfect spot to catch the sunrise, sunset, or simply take in its beauty in the middle of the day.
If you're traveling along Hwy 90 in the middle of Washington State, the Wild Horse Monument is a fun and rather quick area to explore. Located 30 miles east of Ellensburg and 60 miles northwest of Yakima, the monument is located just across the Columbia River as you head east.
As you drive, there are a couple signs which will indicate the location and distance to the monument. Once off the highway, there is a paved parking lot a mere 100 yards away. The parking lot itself offers some great views of the Columbia River, but a little bit of effort climbing towards the Wild Horses will yield even better views. The hike to the top is less than a 1/2 mile with only 150 feet of elevation. However, the path up is filled with gravel and loose rock so be slightly careful.
Once at the end of the trail you'll encounter 15 life sized horses galloping atop the hill. Explore each of the horses, but make sure you head toward the lead horse for the most sweeping, panoramic views above the Columbia River Gorge. Both sunrise and sunset yield some spectacular colors here, not only from those changing in the sky but also the landscape and rocks surrounding the river. If you're in the area, it's a can't-miss.

Fun Pit Stop!
Cool place to stretch your legs and take a break from driving! Not much to do but I went at sunset and ran up the hill and the view was awesome! Plus you get to see the horses up close lol.

Publikacja w numerze: 38 (2018) nr 1
Autor: Piotr Jaskóła
In the ancient East one used to assign personal character to thousands of mysterious powers, whose presence one used to link to every kind of evil haunting man. The Bible does not only mention good spiritual beings – the angels – as described, but ones that also harm people, bring illness and cause temptation towards evilness are also spoken about. These spirits were called demons, and their commander was called Satan or the devil. The article depicts four points taken from biblical teachings about demons and Satan. The main development trends of this teaching in the history of Christian thought and the criteria applied in contemporary hermeneutics are looked at and linked to biblical texts about demons and Satan.

What We Do
Medium & Low Voltage Switchgear Services
Harmonic Surveys
Harmonics are simply additional electrical load produced by energy saving devices. That sounds like a contradiction! Additional load produced by devices that are meant to reduce load?
Well, in a word, YES!
We implement reduction techniques which are cost-effective solutions to limit premature failure & excess wear. Remember, it's always less expensive to eliminate this problem than repair its damaging effects.
Infrared Scanning
Infrared scanning is a technology developed in part by Howard Hughes' aircraft company. Modern day thermographs pinpoint weak areas of electrical distribution systems when the camera is in the hands of a competent user. The operator needs to know what device signatures are normal, even when they appear hot. Also, electrical safety counts especially when scanning energized equipment. Current safety standards try to differentiate between "testing" and "working on" energized equipment. While safety standards have come a long way, both experience and discretion must be used. Keeping in mind that an arc flash can occur at any time, PPE is always be a prime consideration for All-Test technicians.
Arc Flash Studies
Arc flash hazard analysis and labeling identify these hazards and provide a means to determine the level of PPE (personal protective equipment) that must be worn during certain work tasks. In some, there is NO appropriate PPE as the danger level is extreme.
Arc flash hazard analysis produces, among other data, a calorie level indicating the heat expelled and what level of PPE should beused, IF ANY. It is important to understand that the levels of PPE calculated by Industry standard are based on this NFPA definition:cases, there is NO appropriate PPE as the danger level is extreme.
A value of the energy necessary to pass through any given fabric to cause with 50% probability a second or third degree burn. (PA 70E)
ALL TEST believes the NFPA guidelines are a good "STARTING" point, but that most workers would demand a better than 50-50 chance of second and third degree burns!
Power Problems Solved!
Power surveys are similar to a yearly health check up. They uncover the hidden dangers which, if unchecked, damage operations, profits, and more importantly, human life.
Power surveys reveal cost saving areas:
- Harmonic Over-Currents (see Electrical Dangers here)
- System imbalance leading to load issues
- Motor efficiencies and improper selection
- Dangerous grounding issues
- Poor power factor and kvar levels: see info from USDOE (click here to see)
- Wasted energy usage

The Body Electric
There's been a lot of discussion in Pittsburgh lately about the upcoming exhibit at the Carnegie Science Center, "Bodies: The Exhibition." For the uninitiated, the exhibit consists of dissected human corpses, organs, and fetuses that have been plasticized in a polymer solution to preserve them. The process allows for a unique look at body systems we wouldn't otherwise be privy to.
In other words, it's awesome.
The source of controversy is multi-fold. There are of course religious objections to exhibits of this sort, but the primary issue for many people are questions that have arisen about where the bodies being used in the exhibit came from in the first place. There is concern that these anonymous corpses are in fact executed Chinese political prisoners who had no choice in being used in this manner and that the thriving plastination industry may be further driving China' s illegal organ trade. Lest these worries seem far-fetched, the specimens are unidentified, unclaimed bodies "on-loan" from Dalian Medical Center in China.
(Can you imagine the paperwork involved in borrowing a body? I had to fill out five forms to rent a carpet cleaner.)
There is further controversy about what constitutes art and whether or not observing human bodies on display in this way desensitizes us. For the record, I don't think it does (anyone who views this exhibit dispassionately walked into the exhibit that way). I must confess, though, that when I heard that school children were being brought to the exhibit I was alarmed, not for the kids' sakes, but for the bodies themselves. I'd hate to think of my own corporeal being on display while a bunch of twelve year old snicker about my saddlebags.
I first learned of exhibits of this type in a 2001 New Yorker article. That article wasn't profiling this particular exhibit, but the work of Dr. Gunther von Hagens, who invented plastination (pity the poor man's pets) and created exhibits using corpses as described above, but typically arranged with more artistic flair. The difference between von Hagens's work and that of the exhibit at the Carnegie is that von Hagens specimens are all donations. In fact, if you go to his website, there is information about how you can donate your own body for a future exhibit (talk about being part of an exhibitionist society: at one point the donations had to be halted because of the overwhelming response). The extensive FAQ provided for the sites hosting "Body Worlds" (the name of von Hagens's exhibits) delves into the ethical issues and makes it very clear from whence the bodies came.
After reading about von Hagens, I desperately wanted to see "Body Worlds," which was only abroad at the time. When I heard about the upcoming exhibit at the Carnegie, I assumed that it was one and the same (how many people are dipping bodies into polymer and displaying them, I asked myself). It was only after hearing about the controversy that I realized that these were two competing exhibitions (and there are many more; China now has 400 of these plastination factories and von Hagens is, understandably, disturbed that people have taken his idea and run with it).
I've been second guessing my enthusiasm for "Bodies: The Exhibition" ever since. I don't have any problem with people wanting to see this sort of thing (I'll be the first in line if "Body Worlds" ever makes it here) but I do have concerns about honoring the wishes of the dead. These "specimens" were real human beings and the fact that they may have been placed on display by a choice that was not their own bothers me. The fact that their deaths may have been at the hands of their government mortifies me.
And I don't even want to get into why a museum would choose between an exhibit that could document the source of its specimens and one that could not.
I've long been fascinated by the sideshows of the 19th an early 20th century, when medical specimens were a huge part of the draw. People came from all over to see congenital defects and racial or ethnic anomalies, showing very little compassion in their quest to be amazed and entertained. Because they were considered freaks of nature, there was often no other means of employment for the people who populated these exhibits; one could hardly say they were there by choice. I fear that we're approaching the same territory, putting people on display who have no voice in the matter because their society has eliminated their right to speak.
That isn't about desensitizing the audience; it's about taking away the humanity of the people we're looking at.

Thank you, Kathy, for this informative post.
Thanks, Kathy, your post was very helpful to me in considering the issue!
I have mixed feelings about the critiques of allowing this exhibit to be on display. I do believe that there is knowledge that can be learned ONLY by seeing actual bodies. In high school, when we dissected cats, I found it very unpleasant, but I have to admit that was the class project I learned most from in high school. I know there are now computerized ways of viewing body sections, but I just don't think they're the result in the same hands-on knowledge of anatomy.
Did this desensitize me to my own cats as pets? I don't think so. Does dissecting cadavers desensitize future MDs? Not as effectively, I believe, as the constant overwork and emotional abuse prevalent in many medical schools. I don't buy that argument.
I understand people who see the human body as sacred, and are offended about such a display. While I sympathize with that argument, it does not follow from my own religious and metaphysical beliefs.
The argument that causes me extreme concern is whether more political prisoners were executed because of the profit incentive from this exhibit. I'll need to think more about that one and weight the evidence.
I find these moral issues important to consider, but often find myself annoyed by people with the attitude, "If you don't agree with me, you're clearly an evil/ insensitive/ immoral person." Talking about controversial issues without judging the other person seems to be a difficult skill to master, however.
I appreciate your willingness to grapple with this issue on the blog.
- Working Stiffs said...
Thanks to whoever posted this for me! Blogger is not my friend.
The amazing thing, Tory, is that plastination is going to eliminate the need to do as much dissecting in the classroom. von Hagens is apparently creating a lot of specimens to be used as anatomical models.
I don't have a problem with people going to the Pittsburgh exhibit, but I did want to analyze my own feelings on the issue since I was incredibly gung ho when I first heard about it and have gone through a drastic change of heart this week (I am the gal who gets excited months in advance when she hears HBO is doing an new episode of autopsy, afterall). I have a lot of friends who are planning on going and I'm going to live vicariously through them;)
Kathy MH
Thank you, Kathy, for adding more information to explain this controversy. I also want to thank Gina and Lila for making important points to alert us in a very professional manner. We're lucky to have such great minds on our blog and email (that includes all of us), and I always learn and get stimulation when I read either.
In my career as an RN, I saw an autopsy and more than a few dead bodies, and for myself, I could have skipped it. However, surgery was another matter--most fascinating.

Jen's Gentle & Fun Approach
I love teaching Pilates because it is exciting to help clients deepen their own inner strength & body awareness. Through a compassionate approach, I educate you on where a variety of muscles & other important structures live, what it means to use them well, why they are important to overall health & how to implement this knowledge into your everyday life. All sessions are uniquely designed for each individual based on age, experience, activity level, posture, past or present injuries, and other physical conditions. Because I work privately with each client, I move at a gentle pace that is always fun & encouraging.
What to Expect at a Pilates Session with Jen
At the first session, I often conduct a visual and/or tactile assessment to get to know my client's natural and unique body posture. I also introduce the five basic principles of the STOTT PILATES method which includes proper breathing, use of deep core muscles, and overall placement and mobility of various structures. As sessions progress, each client learns how to gently and properly move through exercises on various pieces of equipment which are appropriately suited for his or her individual needs. When necessary, I may use some bodywork techniques to enhance a client's Pilates session as well. At the end of a session, clients often report feeling "great", "more poised like a dancer", "taller", "in control of my body", that "limbs are lighter", and share the realization "so THAT is my core".
Pilates for Osteoporosis
More than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men will suffer a bone fracture due to osteopenia or osteoporosis in their lifetime. Compression fractures of the spinal vertebrae are the most common, but fractures to the hip, ribs, shoulder, wrist and ankle often occur as a result of low bone density. Research is showing that 2 supervised 1 hour exercise sessions plus 2 independent exercise sessions per week can improve Bone Mineral Density scores and reduce fracture risk. The University Hospitals of Columbia and Cornell have stated that "Exercise programs have a key role in the management of the osteoporotic patient…Many consider Pilates to be an excellent physical exercise regimen…"
Benefits of Doing Pilates Regularly
- Increase overall body awareness, flexibility, strength, posture
- Increase core strength around the back, abdominals, and pelvis
- Increase joint health by strengthening & rebalancing the muscles around the joints
- Increase overall body awareness while doing everyday activities
- Increase benefits of other physical activities like walking, running, swimming, skiiing etc
Additional Benefits of Doing Pilates for Osteoporosis
- Maintain and/or increase bone density
- Encourage proper spinal alignment to decrease risk of spinal fracture
- Improve balance to reduce risk of fracture due to falls
- Rebalance & strengthen hip, shoulder, knee, wrist & ankle to increase joint health & reduce risk of fracture

Comment From Rep. Rick Boucher, and a Correction
Joe Barton is a real piece of work.
Dubbed "Smokey Joe" by the Dallas Morning News for his efforts on behalf of big polluters, the Texas Republican has worked tirelessly over the years to reward the oil companies and utilities that keep sending him back to Congress.
As Big Oil's go-to guy in the House ($1.25 million in career contributions, according to www.shameonbigoil.com) he has defended the industry's lavish tax breaks and worked hard to open up ever more federal acreage for drilling. As Big Power's go-to guy, he has tried to weaken clean air laws while blocking every effort to strengthen them.
One might be tempted to describe Mr. Barton's legislative record as laughably predictable except for the fact that Mr. Barton is not a laughing matter. As the ranking, or most powerful, Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, he is capable of doing a lot of harm. And he often does.
Here are two recent examples of Mr. Barton in action.
1. Earlier this year, a federal appeals court in Washington struck down one of the few genuinely useful environmental regulations produced by the Bush Administration — the Clean Air Interstate Rule, which was aimed at reducing smog and acid rain pollutants from power plants in the eastern half of the country.
Ironically, given the administration's lamentable environmental record, the court ruled that the administration had been too aggressive in framing the rule, usurping authority that properly belonged to Congress (the Times editorial page disagreed).
In any case, a bipartisan group of elected officials — including Democrats like Congressman John Dingell of Michigan and M. Jodi Rell, the Republican governor of Connecticut — pushed for a compromise that would have restored some of the rule's protections while setting the stage for bigger long-term reductions in the next Congress.
Some utilities, having already invested in pollution controls in anticipation of the new rule, supported these efforts. Other big polluters, including the Southern Company, said no. And who was there to answer their call? Smokey Joe, who effectively killed the compromise. Mr. Barton's public rationale was that it made more sense to wait until next year and revisit the entire Clean Air Act. What he really was after was another crack at weakening it.
2. Nobody worked harder than Mr. Barton to kill the moratorium on offshore drilling that Congress had routinely renewed every year for nearly three decades. He would not even entertain a decent compromise offered by Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, and backed by many moderate Republicans, that would have opened federal water lying at least 50 miles offshore, and only then with the approval of coastal states.
Smokey Joe wanted it all, from three miles out (which is where state jurisdiction ends) to 200 miles out, where federal jurisdiction ends and international waters begin. The House ended up not renewing the moratorium, a victory not only for Mr. Barton, but for President Bush and John McCain, and a stunning defeat for the Democrats, who were out-maneuvered on the issue from start to finish.
But even that wasn't enough for Smokey Joe. Adding insult to injury, he then proposed to open two other areas that Congress had spared — the eastern Gulf of Mexico off Florida and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge — and (get this!) use the proceeds from lease sales to help underwrite the $700 billion Wall Street bailout.
Mr. Barton is nothing if not brazen. But in this case he will almost certainly fail, not least because John McCain is almost sure to oppose the plan. Though he cynically reversed his opposition to off-shore drilling the moment people began complaining about gas prices, Mr. McCain continues to oppose drilling in the Refuge. It's unlikely that he wll risk antagonizing Florida voters by opening up the eastern Gulf. And the idea that oil revenues should be used to bail out Wall Street is almost funny.
But you have to say this for Smokey Joe — he's consistent, and no demand on behalf of his Big Energy benefactors is too outrageous.

Referring to my f.b agenda for today, I'm afraid there have been more things left undone than things done.
I did go to the mall and purchased things I needed to buy and also some I didn't including two pairs of shoes (two for the price of just over one and still (possibly) cheaper than in England) and a pair of knee length shorts – just right for "Spring in Connecticut". The regular 'Timmies' visit; modified as it was lunch time the 'donut' being replaced with a healthier (hopefully) raisin bran muffin – warm with butter with the usual chai latte. Then, feeling proud of myself for successfully finding the correct bus home I got home just ahead of the family back from a trip to IKEA.
As the weather did not co-operate, outside play was unavailable and grandma's big idea of making a fort, using the cardboard box which had housed an IKEA item, did not appeal so we settled to playing top gear trump cards which evolved into making the stig lap time result board and recreating 'races' across the floor.
Supper, (habitant pea soup!) French Reading time, very impressive, and bath time, concludes the evening.
So here we are, perhaps a hum drum journal account of the day and only a few items crossed off the agenda. Will walking around the mall and the short walk from the bus stop home replace 'plank exercises'? Probably not, but to do them now would risk waking the boys as I do them to music – ahem a pretty poor excuse, Susan.
But wait; I read an inspiring section from a Daniel Pink post about how we view media and linking it to taking time to meditate. I will probably use it in a later post.
Also I finally yielded to the fact that wordpress doesn't really want to allow me to do pages as I want them, however I can just use the category button to sort my blogs. Not ideal but less frustrating. Please bear with me as I keep working on the appearance and functionality of my site.
So, actually, not too bad after all.

Water resistant to 500 ft (150 m).
Hans Wildorf, after successfully launching the Rolex watch brand, decided in 1926 to introduce a second line that his sales agents could sell at a more modest price point while maintaining high standards of dependability. He called these timepieces Tudor in tribute to the vintage Tudor period in England U.K. It incorporated the Rose and shield logos in the design of the dials. Tudor was an early adopter of bright colors for timepieces such as orange and red and in the 1960's the navy of France used Tudor Water Proof Submariner watches for their divers. In 1997 Tudor hires golfer Tiger Woods as a spokesman and his chronograph watch was extremely popular. In 2015 Tudor returned to the USA marketplace and current wristwatches include the Heritage Black Bay, Ranger, Pelagos, Chrono Blue, Gantour and Fastrider Blackshield.

PREP BASEBALL: Miners drop pitchers' duel with Honkers; Bruins come up short against Sutter
The Nevada Union baseball team suffered its first loss of the season, dropping a pitchers' duel to Yuba City, 2-0, Monday
The Honkers broke up a 0-0 tie with two runs in the fourth inning and that was the difference.
Owen Day took the loss for NU after tossing four innings, allowing four hits, two earned runs and striking out six. Bennett King pitched the final two innings, allowing one hit and no runs while striking out three.
Day, a senior, has been solid in his first two starts of the season. He is now 1-1 as a starter, throwing a total of 10 innings, allowing six hits and two earned runs while striking out 12 and walking two.
From the plate NU managed just four hits against the Honkers, getting base knocks from James Nolen, Luke Cornish, Cole Mason and Matthew Tintle.
Leading Yuba City was Bryce Rodgers with three hits and an RBI. Anthony Piegaro tossed four innings of shutout ball to earn the win.
Next up for the Miners (1-1) is a Friday home game against Oakmont.
Bruins rally late, fall short against Sutter
Bear River scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth, but needed four as they fell to Sutter, 5-4, Tuesday afternoon.
Trailing 5-1 in the bottom of the ninth, the Bruins got an RBI walk from Nathan Van Patten to pull the score to within three. Justin Kilgore then ripped a two-out, two-RBI base knock that scored two more and pulled the Bruins to within one. That would be as close as they would get though as Sutter's closer struck out the next Bear River batter to finish the game.
Kilgore was strong for the Bruins all game, notching three hits and three RBIs. Van Patten had a base hit to go with his ninth inning RBI walk. As a team, Bear River tallied eight hits in the game.
Taking the loss from the mound despite a strong effort was Clay Corippo, who tossed six innings, allowed three earned runs and struck out two.
The Bruins also suffered a loss on Monday, falling to Ponderosa, 12-7.
Bear River fell behind early, trailing 7-1 after two innings and 10-2 midway through the fifth. But, the Bruins didn't go without a fight, scoring three in the bottom of the fifth inning and another two in the ninth but it wasn't enough.
Leading the Bruins from the plate was Jake Rogers with a double, two RBIs and three runs scored. Justin Kilgore tallied two hits, including an RBI double and a run scored. Aaron Sasville added a base hit and two RBIs. And, Damian Christin notched a double and scored a run.
Next up for the Bruins (0-4) is a Thursday non-league home game against Rosemont.

Corned Beef Fax

Chris Devers just sent this link to (void). It's a transcript of a debate on SPAM in the House of Lords:
Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, do the Government have any plans to restrict unsolicited faxes? My fax paper is always being wasted by people who send me faxes I do not want. I do not know whether they could be called "corned beef" or something, but I have had enough of them."

Education is something that should be facilitated by instructors not enforced by instructors.
Although active learning and constructivist learning philosophies are gaining in popularity, they were once much more popular than current mainstream didactic lecture-based teaching. Experiential learning, communities of practice, and peer learning are relics from a time when apprenticeships were the standard form of education. People learned by doing under the supervision of a master craftsman. Furthermore, learning was scaffolded - the apprentice would do the easy menial tasks until they proved their competence and moved on to more complicated tasks.
After the industrial revolution, this shifted and education was something that was enforced and regulated.Students sat quietly and consumed information delivered by an instructor with an intimate knowledge of the material. This approach scaled effectively for ten to thirty students which is one of the reasons that it was so popular. This model was extremely scalable for the time, but at the cost of critical thinking and the development of meta-cognitive skills.
In a modern educational landscape consisting of millions of students globally distributed this model is less scalable. These students are preparing for careers that will change multiple times over the course of a few decades. As a result, it is now more important than ever to teach students to be their own teachers and to allow them to teach each other. Teachers should now fulfill a new role as facilitators. By guiding students and scaffolding educational experiences it is possible to create scalable learning for this new massive and diverse group of learners.
My advisor and I have created a set of design decisions to improve inclusion and collaboration in the classroom. A paper about this concept was published at FIE 2018.

As we mentioned in other articles, endometriosis growing somewhere else other than the endometrium also reacts to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, building up tissue by breaking it, and eliminating it through the menstrual period. As we know homeopathy -colocynthis plays a very important role in homeopathic medicine in treating some kinds of diseases. In this article, we will discuss how homeopathy remedy–colocynthis helps to treat endometriosis.
Colocynthis is one of the nervous tonic medicine in homeopathy, therefore it helps to
1. Release nervous tension
Colosynthis is one the homeopathic medicine used to release the pressure in the nervous system caused by sudden change of levels of hormone in the body for women with endometriosis before and during menstrual cycle. By releasing the tension of the central neuralgua, it helps to reduce the over active nervous cells in the brain resulting in lessening the symptoms of endometriosis such as irritation, anger and emotional and physical stress.
2. Reduce heavy menstrual flow
If the blood loss during menstruation caused by over active uterine muscle as resulting of tension of nervous system then by increasing the balance of cells function, colocynthis helps to regulate the nervous transmitting of information thereby lessening the irregular function of uterine muscle resulting in reducing the period flow.
3. Reduce muscle cramps and twitching
Cramps and muscle twitching in abdomen is caused by in equated blood flow in the region as resulting of nervous irregular signals. Colocynthis helps to increase the blood flow to the admen resulting in reducing the the muscle cramps and muscle twitching in the abdomen.

Founded in the 8th century BC, Naples was among the most important cities of Magna Graecia and exercised a considerable commercial, cultural and religious influence on the surrounding Italic populations.
After the collapse of the Roman Empire, in the 8th century the city formed a duchy, and later, from the thirteenth century and for about six hundred years, it was the capital of the Kingdom of Naples, to then become the capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies until the unification of Italy.
Headquarters of the Federico II, the oldest state university in Europe, it also houses the 'Orientale' University, the oldest university of synological and oriental studies in Europe. Place of origin of the Neapolitan language, Naples has exercised and exercises a strong role in numerous fields of knowledge and culture.
Naples is also the cradle of the figurative arts: in fact, original architectural and pictorial movements were born, such as the Caravaggism, the Posillipo school and the Neapolitan Liberty, as well as minor but internationally important arts, such as Capodimonte porcelain and the Neapolitan manger.
It is also home of a distinctive form of theater as well as a peculiar culinary tradition that includes iconic foods, such as Neapolitan pizza: in particular, the art of its pizza makers is part of the UNESCO intangible heritage network.
In 1995 also the historic center of Naples was recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site for its exceptional monuments, which testify the many cultures from the Mediterranean and Europe that have contributed to its development.
Naples Capodichino airport is located only 6 kms away from the apartment.

I work at the nonprofit The Task Force for Global Health and recently had the opportunity to create art for our CEO's office. The study I had done for the possible Moreland Mural Project (now on hold) seemed like a good fit. The Task Force programs work often in Africa, and many of my colleagues had traveled to various African countries. Using colorful, patterned fabrics from Africa, I set out to make a mixed media piece on a large panel.
I used a 30″ x 40″ Ampersand panel, starting with a drawing.Using vine charcoal, I drew the dancers in an imaginary landscape. I saw the dancers in a circle and wanted to emphasize the circle throughout the painting. Also, there's an Andikra symbol (originating in West Africa) that's layers of circles and means leadership and charisma, perfect for our CEO.
An underpainting with warm colors.
Added the cooler blue tones and lights.
Started adding elements of collage, using an acrylic medium to adhere the fabric to the board.
Besides the fabrics, I made a lot of painted papers (using circular patterns). I wanted more muted colors in the papers to contrast with the bright fabrics. I give credit to the artist and wonderful teacher Elizabeth St. Hilaire for teaching me how to create handmade painted papers.
Was tempted to cover the entire surface with paper and fabric but thought some places worked without texture. The final painting is covered with a UV-protectant varnish. Final painting: Dancing Under the Sun, 30″ x 40″, mixed media


text: An entertaining post from a frustrated PR has appeared on the We Love Local Government blog. The poster (who is, of course, anonymous) writes about the culture shock of moving from the private sector to the febrile atmosphere of a local council in 2011. It's a good read. But, given the complaints about the politically neutral nature of the post, I wonder if the correspondent is in the right job?

Mary Lee, a massive great white shark known for her wanderlust, reached a destination last week that made observers uneasy to say the least.
The Ocearch team that had tagged the 16-foot, 3,500-pound shark in September received a ping signal that Mary Lee was within 200 yards of Florida's Jacksonville Beach.
Mary Lee had come way too close for comfort, penetrating the surf break, CNN reports. However, Ocearch chairman Chris Fischer called local police to clear the water until Mary Lee -- named after Fischer's mother -- set up shop further at sea.
While Mary Lee swam away without incident, her migration pattern has intrigued scientists from Ocearch. The organization outfitted her -- along with another great white named Genie -- with a GPS device during an expedition off Cape Cod in September. Just months later, both sharks were found swimming off the Jacksonville coast.
"That is a scary thought," tourist Jennifer Earnest told WOFL after hearing of the shark. "I would be running from that."
Last Thursday, the Florida Times-Union reported that Mary Lee was spotted 18 miles off Fernandina Beach and headed northeast.
"We're trying to solve the basic life history puzzle of where and when do [great whites] feed, where and when do they breed, and where and when do they give birth," Fischer said to CNN. "We want to protect those areas where they're vulnerable."
In the video above, watch Ocearch at work in making perhaps the catch of the century before letting Mary Lee -- in her terrifying magnificence -- once again roam the ocean.
Great white sharks are the largest known predatory fish, according to the World Wildlife Fund. The animals, which can weigh nearly 5,000 pounds, have often been hunted by man in the past. They are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Back in the late 1970's Seattle cleaned up an oil refinery right in the center of town on the shores. of Lake Union. A major environmental disaster. Then they made it into a post industrial park. For several years the sewage sludge they used as fill to counteract the oil soaked toxic soil produced bumper crops of both tomatoes and marijuana… two seeds which survive the waste water treatment process.

Todd McGregor, managing director of Forrester Middle East, explains the IT agenda for forward thinking Middle East CIOs in 2007.
Business relationships will trump technology concerns for IT executives in 2007, despite unfinished or vexing technical tasks, based on our recent survey of IT executives. Respondents picked the long-standing issues of alignment, governance, and communicating value as their top concerns.
Below these, but still important, were cross-unit business initiatives, migration to shared services, and the exploration of BPM technologies as a way to formalise the management of business processes. These concerns highlight the growing realisation among CIOs that while technology prowess and depth are critical, they must help the business units of their enterprise achieve still-elusive efficiencies from technology.
In terms of priorities for 2007, 50% of our survey respondents said that improving and demonstrating IT/ business strategy alignment was one of their top three priorities. The good news is that progress is detectable.
Between 2005 and 2006, Forrester's IT governance data reflected a significant jump - from 52% to 71% - in respondents who indicated that business and IT collaborate equally in setting IT direction.
36% of respondents noted that IT governance was top of mind, making it No. 2 in our list. And 34% of executives placed the prioritisation of tech investments near the top of their priority list. The issues? These IT organisations have yet to form a steering committee with the right stakeholder representation or, if they do have a steering committee, its purpose is unclear.
35% of respondents identified marketing and communicating IT value as one of their top priorities for 2007. The good news? In Forrester's recent IT governance survey, 45% of responding IT organisations report improvement in perception - they are viewed more positively than a year ago. When asked how they managed this, two key approaches that they cited were improving the reliability of their infrastructure and better communicating IT's value and success to the rest of the company.
So what else is on the minds of IT executives for 2007? Many were working to increase business efficiency and lower those costs that may have ballooned during years of mergers and acquisitions, the decentralisation of IT and data centres, and the difficult task of changing application-dependent processes to match demands of business peers.
19% that cited cross-unit business initiatives are trying to overcome their organisation's application silo history, whether it involves standardising business practices, consolidating instances of ERP applications, or leveraging customer information managed by multiple departments.
Although many organisations that could do so have already migrated, 18% noted shared services as a 2007 priority.
Consolidating infrastructure, such as data centres, network management, information security, and the help desk, has been a no-brainer cost-saving move for IT organisations, helping them contribute to the bottom line or freeing up money for investment in new capabilities.
Companies have long been losing patience with the insular and tech focused IT of the past. Today however technology is completely pervasive; day-to-day operations are totally dependent on technology and business innovation nearly always has a technology implication. In 2007 CIOs will look down at their operations, up at their bosses expectations and out and around. As a result, many of them will continue or begin their transformation beyond the old IT and into business technology.For all the latest tech news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.
