Lakeshore RV - Chelan, WA
As I am uploading pictures I am surprised to find how often we camp in the snowy winter months, and how often the campgrounds are empty except for us. As is the case for the Lakeshore RV campground in Chelan. Come summer you won't be able to get a reservation in this park, but in January it was wide open! We have stayed here for many years to enjoy the Chelan WinterFest Festival in January. The park is within walking distance of town and is perfect for the festival weekend. You may notice the pictures are of different trucks and campers as we have visited this park throughout the years, see our The Wanderers page for our history of truck campers. We have only stayed in this park once in the summer months, and that was for a skydiving visit - see that adventure below!

We don't always use our camper for rustic dispersed camping, sometimes our travels lead us to major cities where most people would stay in a hotel. Whenever we can however we still take our home away from home with us. Frankly I like sleeping on my own bed, but it also allows for some pretty tremendous savings over hotel stays. And that savings can be spent on experience splurges like these......
Snowmobiling with Sharkey
I have officially found a new winter sport - snowmobiling! We did a guided snowmobile ride with Sharkey that left the Echo Valley area and went high up into the hills to a warming hut. It was an amazing experience and one I can not wait to repeat. The friends that went with us have already bought sleds and I predict if we ever get to move east where there is more snow, we will be towing a couple sleds behind our camper one day too!
Skydive Chelan.............. Get High - Drop Out!
Thanks to Skydive Chelan and especially Sonya for the most amazing jump experience. This was my 3rd jump, in 3 different locations and Skydive Chelan (click to visit their website) was by far the best. This was my first Tandem jump, my previous having both been static line jumps. The team here is topnotch and while they have your safety in mind first and foremost, they still know how to have fun. This jump was to celebrate my friend's 50th birthday and we chose the special winery jump leaving from and landing at Tsillan Cellars. You are picked up at the winery and any friends or family you have that want to watch can watch you land from here. Overall a top notch experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone or jump here again myself.

How to Use the Linux Time Command
The time command might not be the most frequently used one in a Linux terminal, but that doesn't diminish its usefulness. If you want to know the time required for the command to run, as well as some other details, this is the right command for you.
The developers are among those that commonly use this command because they often need more information about the script or program's performance. Let's take a look at how you can take advantage of the Linux time command.
Basic Syntax
When it comes to the time utility, the basic syntax is simple and looks like this:
That's everything you need to write in your terminal before you hit enter and Linux displays the results on the screen. Keep in mind that the system will show three different results:
- Elapsed (total, real) – this shows the actual time from the moment that you press enter to execute the command until it is completed.
- User – the portion of CPU time utilized in the user mode.
- Sys (system) – the portion of CPU time utilized in the kernel mode.
Ping the Time of a Website
There are various things you can do with the time command, and one of them is to ping your or any other website. To do that, you should use the following line:
time ping mywebsite.com
You can even ping your local server if you got it all configured!
Write the "Time" Results to a File
You can also tell Linux to write the results of the "time" command to a certain file. Here is the line that you should use:
/usr/bin/time -o /www/var/time.txt ping mywebsite.com
The crucial thing here is the change at the beginning of the line. We used a different way of typing the command because the "-o" function is not supported by the integrated time command.
The "-o" option is what tells the system to write the results to a file. The path we specified is the destination of the desired folder. After executing the above line, you can see the results of the "time" command (in this case, ping of the "mywebsite.com" site) in the "time.txt" file in your "/www/var/" folder.
Change the Time Command Results
We already mentioned that you would get three lines as a result of a time command by default. But what happens when you want to adjust the results and need additional information?
Here are some of the options you can use:
- E – use format of a clock to show elapsed time
- F – page fault number
- I – the process' system input number
- P – CPU percentage of the received job
- S – the total amount of seconds of the CPU used in the kernel mode by the system
- U – the total amount of seconds of the CPU used in the user mode
- Z – the page size of the system shown in KB
- c – how many times the process was context-switched
- e – use seconds to show the elapsed time
- k – it shows how many signals did the process receive
- r – how many socket messages were sent to the process
- s – it shows how many socket messages did the process send
- x – the command's exit status
Keep in mind that there is a difference in using lowercase and uppercase letters.
Here is an example of adjusting the output of the time command to your needs:
time -f "Total time %E, Inputs %I, Outputs %O"
In this case, the result can look like this:
Total time =1:14:22, Inputs 11, Outputs 7
Feel free to tailor the results to your needs based on the above suggestions. You can also use the "man time" to get an overview of everything that you can do with the time command.
Linux time command is a useful utility that can be helpful to developers and those who want to know more about their system, scripts, and programs. The crucial thing to keep in mind is that Ubuntu might not accept the default "time" command, which is why you should use "usr/bin/time" to run the command.
If you are a fan of using Python programming language, you can make your life easier by using Python Pip. It is a package management utility that allows you to install and manage Python software packages easily. Ubuntu doesn't come with pre-installed Pip, but here…
If you are looking for a convenient way to manage Java applications on Ubuntu, the solution may lie in the IntelliJ IDEA development platform. An excellent advantage of this option is that it is relatively suitable for beginners, but experienced users will also find it…

Morgan Dollar
Silver — Ask: — | Today: —
- Metal Type Silver
- Metal Content 0.77344 oz.
- Weight 26.73 g
- Composition 90% silver, 10% copper
- Diameter 38.1 mm
- Mint Dates 1878-1904; 1921
About this Product
The Morgan Dollar, named after designer George T. Morgan, is considered to be one of the favorites among coin collectors in the United States. Silver collectors are drawn to the Morgan Dollar not only for its colossal size and 90% silver content, but for its historical significance. The Bland-Allison Act of 1878 legislated that Morgan Dollars were to be produced in large quantities in order to help with the unemployment issues facing American citizens. In 1889, the Philadelphia Mint produced 22 million Morgan Silver Dollars. From 1878-1904, far more Morgan Dollars were produced than were necessary for everyday commerce. Due to an oversupply of the Morgan Dollar silver coin, the government found itself burdened with enormous storage costs. In 1918 this issue was addressed and more than 300 million Morgan Dollars were melted down to later be minted as the 1921 Morgan Dollar. The highly collected Morgan Dollar features the profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse side, and the American bald eagle wings spread clinching an olive branch and arrows on the reverse side.

Tiffany Haddish Poke Fun at Herself for Mispronouncing Oscar Nominees' Names
Actress Tiffany Haddish has apologized to The Disaster Artist screenwriter Michael H. Weber after messing up his name while announcing the 2018 Oscar nominees on live TV.
The Girls Trip star joined British actor Andy Serkis to help unveil the contenders for the 90th Annual Academy Awards on early on Tuesday (23Jan18), but she had viewers amused as she stumbled through the pronunciations of various contenders, including filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, who was recognized in the Best Picture category for producing Call Me by Your Name, and Get Out's Daniel Kaluuya, who was shortlisted for Best Actor.
Struggling with Daniel's last name, the comedienne began by calling him, "Daniel Coolye" and "Daniel Kalua," before quipping, "He know his name!"
Tiffany also had a tough time reading out Michael H. Weber in the Best Adapted Screenplay group, but the first-time Oscar nominee didn't seem to mind the hilarious mishap.
Tiffany Haddish can mispronounce my name any way she wants! WOOOOOOO
— Michael H. Weber (@thisisweber) January 23, 2018
Taking to Twitter after the broadcast, Weber wrote, "Tiffany Haddish can mispronounce my name any way she wants! WOOOOOOO (sic)".
Tiffany promptly replied to the sweet tweet, likening the whole announcement experience to a comedy sketch on hit show Key & Peele.
I am so sorry I can say your name. I just felt like I was a substitute teacher in a Key and Peele skit. I was having a unreal experience. So Greatful your are cool Congratulations! https://t.co/kKyzWdtoNK https://t.co/RWNRQpi6HS
— Tiffany Haddish (@TiffanyHaddish) January 23, 2018
"I am so sorry I can say your name," she insisted. "I just felt like I was a substitute teacher in a Key and Peele skit. I was having a unreal experience. So Greatful your are cool (sic) Congratulations!"
She then shared a link to the skit in question, called Substitute Teacher, in which Keegan-Michael Key portrays an inner city school teacher who has trouble adapting to the names of middle-class white students.

By Amina Bouslimani, PhD
Skin, the largest and most exposed organ of the human body, harbors an incredible diversity of molecules that have a number of origins. Such origins include but are not limited to human cells, microbes that live on the skin, and the surrounding external environment. Our daily routine as well as all of the soaps, creams, and moisturizers that we apply on the skin also contribute to the chemical composition of human skin. This interplay creates a unique chemical niche environment on human skin surface that results in regiospecific ecosystems. But how can we characterize all these chemicals on the skin? And, how do these molecules influence our skin microbiota at each specific body part?
In the Dorrestein lab at the University of California San Diego, we have decided to develop a mass spectrometry based approach in combination with computational tools to study the chemical composition of human skin surface. Together with the Knight lab, we have also planned to identify bacteria that are present on human skin. We have then generated human 3D maps to visualize the body distributions of all molecules and bacteria detected on the skin to finally correlate specific chemical and bacterial communities at each body site.
Two healthy volunteers, a male and a female, were recruited to validate our approach. Skin preparation included avoiding bathing, shampooing, or moisturizing for 3 days before sampling and minimizing the use of personal hygiene products. Over 400 samples per individual were collected from superficial human skin surface using swabs, which represent half of entire human body for each person. At each skin spot, 2 swabs were collected: the first one for molecular analysis by LC-MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry), and the second one for bacterial analysis using 16S rRNA sequencing.
Mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA sequencing information collected from hundreds of skin swabs were mapped to a human 3D model. We have generated high resolution 3D topographical maps that capture the molecular and microbial variations across the body (1).
The video below (click link to play in new tab) reveals that many molecules have distinct chemical distributions in different regions of both subjects. In essence, they create unique chemical niches.
Human 3D model
In terms of bacterial identification, more than 800 distinct microbial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified on human skin surface of these 2 volunteers. The image below shows specific body distributions of 3 main genera of bacteria present on human skin surface: Corynebacterium, Propionibacterium and Staphylococcus, highlighting here again a specific and distinct localizations on human skin of both volunteers.
To identify the chemicals detected on skin surface we have used a computational tool named "molecular networking" that enables the interpretation of large scale mass spectrometry data (2). A molecular network was constructed from mass spectrometry data of human swabs, beauty products used by volunteers, human skin cells, human skin tissues and selected skin bacteria strains cultures; to identify and determine the origin of molecules.
Many molecular classes, revealed through molecular networking, were identified on human skin surface such as antimicrobial peptides, lipids and beauty products components utilized on a daily basis by the volunteers. In total ~14% of the spectral features identified could be explained. We showed that the large portion of chemicals detected on the skin result from our hygiene and daily routine, despite the three days moratorium on bath and hygiene products application. Using spatial mapping, we can reveal the body distribution of these chemicals from our daily routine. As shown below, traces of ingredients from male's shampoo and female's sunscreen persist and accumulate on the skin.
If we look closely to some spatial colocalizations between skin molecules and bacteria, we can begin to predict the impact of molecules on skin bacterial communities. The image below shows a correlation between body distribution of sunscreen and Staphylococcus, suggesting that beauty products might drive skin microbial community development. Furthermore skin bacteria could change the chemistry of human skin surface. More specifically several free fatty acids that spatially colocalize with Propionibacterium, appear to be the result of lipid hydrolysis by that bacteria and this can be highlighted by the human 3D maps (1). We were also able, using the human spatial maps, to highlight the localization of molecules involved in inflammation such as human alpha defensin and spatially correlate them to a specific microbial communities (1).
3D surface spatial mapping of human skin provides insights into the chemistry of human skin surface that drive microbial community formation. The spatial maps can reveal the lifestyle of people and the chemistries of our daily routine including hygiene and beauty products that we apply on the skin, the food we eat and the clothes we wear, reflecting the skin chemical microenvironment the microbes live in. These maps lay essential foundation for further studies of the interplay between the skin, the microbes that live in and the external environmental factors, with a potential for monitoring variations of skin chemicals and microbes and their influence on human health and susceptibility to disease.

Let's say that you are the proud new owner of a box of cigars that you are dying to take on your skiing trip up to the Rockies. Being the savvy cigar smoker that you are you know better than to throw them in your suitcase with minimal protection from the elements. And just like that new weave you bought for your lady friend, you know that a cigar's worst enemy is fluctuations in humidity.
A Word about Humidity
Humidors are designed to maintain a cigar at an optimal humidity range of 68 to 72 percent at room temperature. To maintain this ideal level, a humidor works to add or remove moisture to keep your cigars aging properly. Improper fluctuations in humidity can rob a cigar of its character and flavor and can also create an environment that harbors mold, mildew and bacteria. Unless you want to create yogurt, it is important to transport your cigars properly so that the savory flavors you experience fresh out of the humidor or at your local cigar bar can be mimicked while you are relaxing and enjoying your mile high view.
Below are nine ways to transport your cigars that are ideal for any smoking enthusiast.
1.) Full Humidor
The most ideal way to transport cigars is with a full humidor. This will ensure that your cigars are stored at the most ideal temperature and their humidity levels are maintained for optimum character. However, most travelers, and particularly those on airlines, will find that this may not be their best option in terms of size and weight. A full humidor may just likely be the best transportation option for road trips or travels that don't require approval from Marsha at baggage check-in.
2.) Travel Humidors
When a full humidor just won't do your next option is the travel humidor. Made specifically for travelers, these humidors are airtight, watertight and crush-proof to safeguard your babies from anything nature, or the awesome team of baggage handlers, throws at you (literally). These travel humidors can limit the amount of cigars you are able to carry however, with most ranging from a capacity of five Churchills to a max of 25 cigars.
3.) Cigar Tubes
A safe and simple way to store cigars that will be smoked within the same day or so, cigar tubes provide a tight weather-proof seal that, like the travel humidor, is also crush-proof. These travel companions do not contain any humidification features and are recommended for convenient transportation but not prolonged storage.
4.) Tubo Cigars
Tubo cigars are those nifty little cigars that come prepackaged in something of a cigar tube. The tubo should be regarded as having the same functionality of a cigar tube in that the tube is meant more for protection from physical damage and not for long-term storage. If you purchase a tubo style cigar, plan on smoking it a few days after you buy it. If you plan on storing it, remove it from the tubo and place it in a humidor.
5.) Ziploc Package with a Boveda Humidipak
The brand Boveda makes an awesome portable humidor that is essentially a must-have for the passionate smoker. This bag, simply called the Boveda Humidor Bag, features 2-way humidity control that adds or removes moisture as necessary to maintain 69 percent relative humidity. Combine one of these bad boys with one of our hand selected cigars and you have yourself a nice little transportation package that keeps your cigars fresh for up to six months without a humidor.
6.) Leather Cigar Cases/Sleeves
For the classy wanderer, check out leather cigar travel humidors. These finely accented cases enclose about two dozen cigars and are handsomely adorned in leather. Inside the case, generally made of cedar, you will find ample room to store your 9Cigars smokes with the satisfaction of knowing the humidifier will keep your cigars fresh.
7.) Sealed Bag with Impromptu Humidity Pack
When you are out the door, headed to the airport and just don't have time to grab a more suitable transportation mechanism, try this impromptu method. All you need to rock this setup is a sealed bag and some form of humidity control inside (like a folded up napkin or paper towel). This will only last like a week, but we know you'll be smoking your stogies way before that anyway.
8.) Cellophane
Many cigars are sold with the cellophane protective layer still on. If you are transporting your cigars and don't have any access to any of the above, leaving this layer on will help some. Cellophane should not be regarded as a preserving layer, but it will slow down de-humidification and protect the wrapper more so than just a naked cigar.
9.) Front Jacket Pocket or Mouth
When you are excited that your long day of shredding Aspen's toughest slopes is finally coming to its end, why not put your reward on display for all the snow bunnies (or snowmen, ladies) to see. Place your prized possession in your front jacket pocket or pop that sucker in your mouth and build up the anticipation of smoking it after a day well done. When you get to the base, light that bad-boy up, invite the ladies of the ski patrol (or men, ladies) back to the hot tub and share your newfound cigar transportation knowledge to your new friends.

According to Paris MOU, a "lack of maintenance and poor operational standards" are the "weak link in the safety chain of the shipping industry" and "may well have contributed" to recent disasters such as the sinking of the Erika oil tanker off France's Atlantic coast late last year (ENDS Daily 7 January). "Ship owners and flag states should recognise the seriousness of these figures," the group said. Last month, it announced a programme of heightened checks on older oil tankers following the Erika (ENDS Daily 15 May).
* In a related development, Paris MOU recently publicised its latest "rustbucket of the month" on its internet pages, an oil tanker named Nunki. Started last July, the scheme highlights tankers detained because of significantly low safety standards. The Nunki was held in Amsterdam late last month. Like the Erika, it was registered in Malta - a flag state on Paris MOU's "black list" - and classed by Italian safety certification agency Rina.

"Stop! Here lies the Empire of Death" reads the inscription on the wall, but I don't know this until later because it's in French. I've just descended a staircase that has taken me over sixty feet underground into the catacombs of Paris, a 200-mile underground ossuary holding the remains of an estimated six million people. But before I got here, I had a little waiting to do, two hours to be exact. And that's with an arrival fifteen minutes after opening time, mind you. Touring the Paris catacombs became a popular thing to do in the 1800's, and it's no different today.
Descending Beneath the Streets of Paris
After making it inside and down a seemingly never-ending staircase (130 steps), we entered a series of underground tunnels. The entire stretch of these tunnels is close to 200 miles, but only a very small portion of that is open to the public. Many of the tunnels are short and narrow, so if enclosed spaces give you the heebie jeebies, I'd think twice about visiting. (What am I saying? You're here to see old bones possibly infected with the plague. You're not scared of anything, are you?)
This was when the guy standing in line in front of us thought it would be funny to hide behind one of the corners in the tunnels and jump out and scare me as I passed. Spoiler alert: it wasn't funny at all. (But his little girls sure did get a kick out of my terrified shrieking!)
The Limestone Quarries
Here we are in the blurry "Workshop". (Sorry, low light makes it difficult to get decent photos in some of the tunnels!) Before these tunnels became the final resting place for millions of Parisians, they were limestone quarries used for mining stone that was used in building Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Louvre, among many other places. The empty spaces where the limestone had been became the perfect place to house bones from nearby overflowing cemeteries.
Port-Mahon Corridor
After passing the Workshop, we came to the Port-Mahon corridor where sculptures built by a quarryman named Décure remain intact. This one is of the fortress of Port-Mahon, the largest town on the island of Minorca where Décure is believed to have been held prisoner for a number of years.
Exhibition Areas
Just before entering the ossuary, we made our way through a much more spacious section of the tunnels that led us to the final exhibition room. The exhibitions change regularly. When we visited, it was an exhibition about the geology of the land around the tunnels.
We quickly perused the exhibits before heading straight to the crypt, because really, we were here for only one reason – to creep ourselves out looking at old, dead bones. (Give me a break – it was the day before Halloween! If you can't do something a little macabre then, when can you?)
The Paris Catacombs
Femurs and tibia and skulls, oh my! There were stacks upon stacks of bones everywhere once we entered the catacombs! There were so many of them that I forgot for a second they were real. When I remembered that, it got a little freaky. Besides that realization, there was also the niggling thought in the back of my mind that if someone were to close the door and lock us in, we'd be spending the night with six million, possibly angry because they've become a tourist sideshow, souls. That thought will give you the willies.
Even though you're not supposed to, I couldn't keep myself from very lightly touching the top of one of the skulls. Positive that this quick contact had left me riddled with disease, Lexie refused to come near me for the rest of the day. (For the record, after I did it, I regretted it.)
History of the Paris Catacombs
So how did these bones come to rest underground in the first place? Back in the late 1700's, the Cimetière des Innocents, a popular cemetery in Paris, had become so full of remains that it was a health hazard to those living around it. Plans were drawn up to begin using the abandoned underground quarries to house the overflow, and in 1786 the first of many bones were brought into the Paris catacombs.
Coming from cemeteries all over the city, at first the bones were simply thrown into the tunnels, but it wasn't long before the curiosity of the public motivated the city to renovate the underground cemetery, allowing visitors to enter and tour the catacombs.
Bones are displayed along every inch of wall space in the Paris catacombs, most of the time in tall stacks using skulls missing their jawbones as "accent pieces". Here and there, bones have been laid out in more artistic formations, like those that make up the barrel in the Crypt of the Passion. It was in this crypt that a secret, illegal concert attended by prominent and wealthy city members took place in 1897. Talk about a unique venue!
Taking a Paris Catacombs Tour
Tours through the Paris catacombs are self-guided and take approximately 45 minutes. In my opinion, after the first kilometer (you'll walk about two), it all starts looking very similar. Bones, bones, and more bones. Granted, I realize that the sheer amount of remains is part of the appeal, but there are only so many you can see before it gets a little repetitive. Photography is allowed in the catacombs, but using flash is prohibited. Your best bet is to try to shoot directly beneath the lights, everywhere else will only produce grainy or blurry photos unless you've got a tripod. (Which I highly doubt are allowed on the tours.) When you eventually make your way to the exit, you'll only need to climb 83 steps to get up to street level. Much better than the 130 at the beginning of the tour!
Final verdict: I liked our Paris catacombs tour, and I love a lot of the pictures I got from it, but I did not enjoy the two hour wait beforehand. Since tickets are not available for purchase online and still-breathing bodies in the Paris catacombs are restricted to 200 at a time, that's the wait you're looking at if you decide to go.
Tickets are quite reasonable at only €8 for adults and free for children. Audio guides are an extra €3. Due to the subject matter and that much of the tour is in the dark, be aware that this might not be the place to bring really small children. Otherwise, if you're looking for something different, or maybe even a little creepy to do, a Paris catacombs tour will certainly fit the bill!

Al-Minya Travel Guide
About The City Of Al Minya
Situated 250 kilometers to the South of Cairo, the Egyptian capital, the city of Al Minya, which was once famous for the cultivation of the best Egyptian cotton in the 20th century, today is rather a semi-industrial city with many factories established all around the city.
The surface area of Al Minya extends for 135 kilometers from North to South on the shores of the River Nile with a width of almost 20 kilometers.
The name of the city is derived from its Ancient Egyptian name Men'at Khufu, meaning the nursing city of Khufu, linking it to the Pharaoh Khufu or Cheops, builder of the Great Pyramid at Giza.
The name Minya may also have originated from the city's name in Sahidic Coptic Tmoone and in Bohairic Thmonē, meaning "the residence", in reference to an early monastery formerly in the area. It is the city where the Codex Tchacos was discovered.
This once capital of Egypt has much to offer those interested in Egyptology. The home of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, the parents of the famed King Tutankhamun, Al Minya saw the dawn of a new religion: belief in one deity only – that of the sun god Aten.
Located right in the middle of Upper and Lower Egypt, Al Minya has held an important place in history. There are several tombs to visit in the region such as Tal El-Amarna. Several people connected to Akhenaten, either by the relation of stewardship have tombs in this area.
Menya is dubbed by the locals "Bride of Upper Egypt", in reference to its strategic location in Middle Egypt as a vital link between the north and the south of Egypt. Minya has one of the highest concentration of Coptic Christians in Egypt (approximately 50% of total population).
It is the home city of the Minya University, Suzanne Mubarak (Former first lady) Center for Arts, the new Menya Museum, and the regional North of Upper Egypt Radio and Television.

Men Are Completely Useless In The Modern World Except…
Here is yesterday's Dilbert:
Men are completely useless except:
- Her job only exists because men made it so (since women are dependent on government jobs and affirmative action)
- Any handyman, plumber, electrician, etc. she might call to fix something is a man
- Her fertility doctor will likely be a man and the process is dependent on men
- Her gardener is a man
In other words, she is completely dependent on men, but doesn't realize it. On the other hand Dilbert can replace her with a robot woman without any problems. Maybe this is why a recent piece at AVfM asked if women are now obsolete.
28 Responses to "Men Are Completely Useless In The Modern World Except…"
Men *of her own social stratum* are useless. The gender war is a class war.
Yeah I saw that Dilbert as well and was surprised. I think Adam's may have been aware of this too, the fertility doctor line especially gives the game away that she is delusional.
Adams, not Adam's
Interesting journey. From marrying a single mom and attacking men's rights to basically endorsing it.
Not so long ago, Adams was calling MRAs "a bunch of pussies". Maybe his marriage to a single mom isn't working out quite the way he planned.
The problem with the critique though is:
1) Number one is the point of the phrase "Modern". It doesn't matter if men created the present conditions, the point of modern is that from now on….
2) Point 3 about the fertility doctor will probably not be the case in the long run given the gender ratios in higher education. I don't know what the current statistics are for fertility doctors but I would bet on an increase in the number of women fertility doctors in the near future.
3) The points 2 and 4 about the "men for hire" was addressed pretty well in the comment about class. I actually hadn't considered the class angle before, but it's quite right. Men of her class are useless to her as a mate but men of lower class (or status employment) are useful…in a limited manner.
Sondjata, wearing her concern troll hat, wrote:
Point 3 about the fertility doctor will probably not be the case in the long run given the gender ratios in higher education.
Large numbers of women graduating with degrees in lesbian studies are meaningless in predicting the percentages of future fertility doctors. The usual pattern is for high-skill professions to be top-heavy with men. There's no reason to believe that will change.
Men of her class are useless to her as a mate but men of lower class (or status employment) are useful…in a limited manner.
That's the essence of female hypergamy. Men below her class are seen as near-invisible utilities that should 'just work', men at her level are seen chiefly as annoyances and in terms of negative value, although her job may require that she interact with them. Men out of her reach are the only ones with a chance to trigger her 'good enough' radar.
Oh, yes, I left out thugs with extra helpings of the Dark Triad. That explains Dzokhar Tsarnaev's fan club.
I don't think I've ever heard a woman claim "I have all the money I need."
not once.
Dogbert should be disturbed by this, his job/career in HR is dependent on hoardes of beta men under the heel of the feminists and the corporate industrial complex. When men realize that Cherry 2000 can be had for the price of an iPad (well, most likely more than this, but you get the idea), Jessica the HR rep will only have 50 Shades of Grey to make her tingle and she'll have to repair the burst pipes in her house all by her lonesome self.

It's no easy thing to 'disturb' one of the sociopathic animals that populate Adams' comic strip. Guess the robot really hit where it hurt.

HR is starting to get outsourced these days. Not surprising since it's full of overpaid people who accomplish very little.
Jessica the HR rep will only have 50 Shades of Grey to make her tingle
She may be too busy trying to find another job to worry about her tingles.
As far as that goes, I expect sexual substitutes for men to rapidly improve in the near future while those for women will stay relatively static.
HR is getting outsourced? Blasphemy! If not, I'd love to read more about that.
Here's an article. The gist of it is that a combination of software and specialized HR companies are taking over the functions of the in-house personnel. There are big advantages in reduction of (wo)manpower, the ability to specialize, and scalability.
Hey dumb fuck:
1) Not a female.
2) It may be the case that STEM fields have low female participation but it doesn't take a STEM degree to artificially inseminate a woman.
3) Yes it's Hypergamy (assuming she actually breeds with any of them) but that's beside the point. The point of the cartoon (in part) is that in the *modern* western world she *can* do these things and have therefore managed to marginalize men.
4) Stop being a dick when responding to people you don't know.
Sondjata wrote:

If you say so. Your screen name sounds kind of female, and so does your concern-trolling, quibbling writing style.
2) It may be the case that STEM fields have low female participation but it doesn't take a STEM degree to artificially inseminate a woman.
Medical specialists such as surgeons or fertility specialists fall into the 'dedicated craftsman' category. In other words, they require many years of extensive training to reach the required level of expertise. They will thus have large male majorities. More women graduating with fluff degrees won't change that dynamic.
4) Stop being a dick when responding to people you don't know.
Since you're not the blog owner, you can kiss my ass with that directive. If I succeeded in yanking your chain with my post, that's your problem.
Dear God. Why the fugly looking witch as a background? That was the first thing that stood out.
So what this is saying is every handyman, plumber, electrician, Gyonocolygest etc are all men? Oh really. Hmm thats strange. Its cute how you guys are really trying to be right. I mean you are really working at it. I respect your work ethic but sorry hunnies, you arent getting anywhere. You are in the wrong century.
That's a nice strawman you got there, would be a shame if something happened to it.
Actually, if you were reading this blog with a more observant eye, no one says that _all_ plumbers are men, but well over 80% are men. And even if you do find a woman plumber, I can find you 50 that are men (and much more easily).* And the same goes for the other jobs that were mentioned.
But no, you had to come up with a lie by warping the views of the participants in this blog as well as the author in order to make a counter-argument. Well done.
Women don't start out of high-school — for the most part — thinking of becoming electricians, engineers, plumbers, carpenters, etc. This is why in so many colleges you have over 60% of female students in fields such as communications, women studies, etc.
Men are the foundation on which the house that we call civilization is built on. Take your pick on what you'd like.
* The plumber that fixed the problem that I have with a drain in my apartment last year was a man.

Useless mothers make useless sons. If mothers weren't so fucking manipulative and needy of attention, sons take after their mothers
daughters, their fathers,
so don't just say men are useless, why not ask why some mothers are useless.
Adams "Dilbert" world only has incompetent buffoons in Alice's world, so in that context, her response is rational, as is Dilbert's. Alice is in her situation because most of the competent men have left for greener pastures, essentially gone Galt. Maybe the trash man is John Galt?
Adams' viewpoint is the same as the rest of our culture's: Men are a bunch of buffoons. "Dilbert" wouldn't work as entertainment, if it were populated with competent, well adjusted people, working for a company not burdened with bureaucratic dead weight. "Dilbert" works because men are able to laugh at themselves and see themselves shown with all of their warts. "Alice" works as a character because she can show that women who successfully work in places where competence is required are few and far between – much easier to slack off or hide incompetence in marketing or some other soft, squishy, stylish, female friendly department with an HR mafia to protect them. The Boss's secretary is a bitter woman who resents the life she got for just showing up with a minimal skill set, stuck working for a jerk who has no skills, but has a degree and connections. Given the chance, she's as much of a petty tyrant as she can be.
The boss is one of those top Alphas who have kept their status by undermining others, not with his own proficiency. We see more of how he cuts the legs out from Dilbert and crew than we do his success in diverting women or as a model target of hypergamy.
There's another Dilbert strip worth mentioning – Dilbert asks the trashman how he can learn to like his job more. The trashman's response is "get married to someone you hate, have a few kids, and you'll LOVE being at work."
It's tempting, but don't condemn Adams for this one strip.
… of course women are going to say men are useless…. because men don't want no whore who has no clue to life and is no good and is nothing but a parasite using her sex to get by… like it's all-ways been… and because they are fucked up and self screwed they want men to fix them… nope. can't fix self made stupid and childish decisions when they won't grow up. most women are children their entire lives with how they look at and process and deal with life.
not your problem men if some whore can't get what she wants… she should look in the mirros and place the useless tag right where it really belongs.
oh! maybe it's hillary clinton's imaginary "patriarchy" doing all this to them, lol! fucking morons and retards… parasites off mankind forever… but like some niggers (it's a mentality not a skin color) they just want shit handed to them because they are losers. self made losers, not all… just the massive majority.
ignore and do not feed the whores men.
don't even fuck 'em.
let them breed themselves and their Great Whore mentality right out of existence.
they're babies… till their tits and ass sag and their fuckability factor wanes… then it's STILL a man's fault.
go buy some more wrinkle cream on your ways to shelf life expiration hoes!
Look at Detroit… women will make the entire USA look like Detroit – because they're about as smart as those lazy asses there… get it yet? it's just the death whore howls… that's all… glad to be a white male Apex Predator = I have no worries what so ever! " )
To be honest, I disagree. Women can do things such as building rockets and maintaining an infrastructure. The problem is that it's very difficult and most choose not to (the men don't mind it as much, they crave the challenge).
Now, what feminism has taught women is that they should not be responsible for their actions and they are awesome for just existing. As a result, a whole slew of poor behavior has been either encouraged or not criticized since every woman was a special snow-flake. This has been going on for decades and the whole toxic stew has been eating at the souls of men like never before. Hence the MGTOW movement.
Before, women had to contend with sitting at home with most of the serious responsibilities being handed to men. It was a pretty easy existence.
The problem is that when men see the social contract being torn up in their faces while being called a loser because the factory he has been working is now in China (and the office that he applied to last week has a man-hating man-jawed drunk on petty power princes), he'll either go insane (like that guy who shot up a gym) or go MGTOW. Now, given that the state is still quite functional and the police forces are still operating, becoming violent is a poor option at best (and even if they're not, you still can royally screw yourself, if you don't get it read 48 Laws of Power). As a result, men are throwing their responsibilities into the trash and doing whatever. Some discover Plato, others work out, others bake and grow gardens. And some just get the hell out of the West.
10 more years and this country will consider itself lucky if it can fill 50% of all STEM positions that it needs just to keep functioning, not mentioning advance and develop.
"Feminism, far from helping women, has instead exposed the full extent of female inferiority (moral, intellectual, economic, civic, spiritual, physical) far more visibly than was ever possible before feminism."
I agree. Women take enormous risk when going full out war against men. But – as we have seen, suitable laws level the situation pretty much. After those underperforming women will become a norm. Let us not that happen.
Nonwithstanding: stop the useless, endless chatter with feminists on blogosphere and start finally to treat them as your enemies – not friends or "ladys" or anything. One can't outperform a woman in shit talking, you know.

Examples? After many years of female liberation, we have positions where the percentages of women are so small, they might as well not be there. My conclusion is that they absolutely cannot do the job of maintaining infrastructure or doing creative work, not in numbers sufficient to prevent civilization from collapsing.
The problem is that when men see the social contract being torn up in their faces
That is true, and the only ways to handle it will either be confrontation or withdrawal. Most will choose withdrawal.
Now, given that the state is still quite functional and the police forces are still operating
I have the feeling that feminists will soon have a far more limited ability to use police powers to coerce men. Budget cuts and all that. Plus there are simply no-go zones for the police. Knocking on a door in the projects to discipline a man for treating his live-in girlfriend to the back of his hand just isn't that palatable to them.
There was an article at The Spearhead by Bill Price about how feminism waxes the most powerful when they can play off two factions of men against each other (pursuers or "Gamesters" of women vs "Keepers" who are protective of women).
Since the influence of "Keepers" is now waning, once of the predictions is that far fewer women will be able to use police resources to discipline errant husbands or boyfriends. Makes sense to me.
There aren't really any examples. I'm saying that if women put in the thousands of hours to master physics, chemistry, etc. they too can build a rocket that takes them to the moon. The reason why we don't see this? Most (and you need lots of women to make this project happen) are too lazy or don't want to.
I'm reminded of a conversation I overheard in college. I was walking back to my dorm and past the chemistry building. In front of me were two white American girls. Both disparaged chemistry and the ones who spent the time to understand how it works, calling those scientists geeks and losers. Basically, the very people who make their makeup and iPhones. Could those same women rise up and build a Saturn 5? Yes. Will they? I think I'll stand a better chance of winning the lottery… 5 times in a row…
As for the decreased state powers. Awesome! It's a gross misalocation of state resources to punish those who produce, the very people we want to be increasing in numbers right now just when the boomers will retire.

So you're admitting you have zero evidence to back it up. It's just your belief.

In my experience, women who actually spend thousands of hours to master a subject turn into dutiful worker bees who don't break new ground. That requires a 'secret sauce' combination of intelligence, creativity, meticulous discipline, and willingness to take risks. It's an uncommon enough combination in men and just about nonexistent in women.
Look at the case of Watson and Crick vs. Rosalind Franklin. W & C used the x-ray diffraction data Franklin compiled to come up with the double-helix DNA model.
But she never even came close to building her own model.
I believe it goes beyond a difference in mental capacity although that's a very important part of it too. Women's behavioral traits of solipsism and deference to the 'herd' hinder creative accomplishment.
Could those same women rise up and build a Saturn 5? Yes.
Despite not having a shred of evidence, you continue to cling to this belief. I wonder why.
As for the decreased state powers. Awesome! It's a gross misalocation of state resources to punish those who produce,
Right, and a correction to this imbalance will have to occur sooner or later.

The coffee room on the second floor of UNCLE HQ was practically custom designed for eavesdropping. The actual coffee pot, cream, and sugar were around a corner at the back of the room, which meant that there was no way that someone coming in to sit around the little table could see if there was anyone already pouring themselves a cup.
If not for that little detail of architecture, Napoleon would never have heard the conversation. It wasn't the kind of thing that anyone would want to bring to the attention of their CEA.
Really, he shouldn't have even been there to overhear. There was a lounge on the third floor for enforcement agents, which meant he didn't need to come down to the second floor for his coffee. But this morning the upstairs pot was broken, and Napoleon had been up late the night before. Coffee was a necessity.
He'd just lifted the pot to fill his mug when the soft whoosh of the door opening and closing caught his ear. Pausing, Napoleon listened for a clue as to who it was.
"...Sandy last night."
"That's supposed to be juicy gossip? Please. Is there anyone in this building that Napoleon Solo hasn't slept with?"
"Don't be catty. There are plenty of women who haven't been lavished with his attentions."
"Sure. All the ones who are married or over thirty."
"He hasn't been out with you, and you're not married or over thirty. Jealous, maybe?"
"Hah! I wouldn't go out with a man like that, no matter how charming he is."
"A man like what?"
"You know what I mean."
"So he's a bit of a skirt chaser. He's never nasty or creepy about it. I'll have you know that most of us were perfectly happy to be caught."
"'Just a bit of a skirt chaser,' indeed. That's a double standard for you. A man sleeps around and everyone's indulgent and tolerant. If a woman behaved like he does, she'd be a slut and you know it."
"Really. Do you have to be so crude?"
"I'm not being crude, I'm being blunt. Tell me it isn't common knowledge that if you want a fun evening with no strings attached, all you have to do is catch his eye and show a little leg."
"I think you're exaggerating."
"Well...maybe a little. But not about the no strings. That man couldn't make a commitment if his life depended on it."
"Maybe he just hasn't found the right girl yet."
"After all the looking he's done?"
"You'd rather he picked someone at random, just to prove he could? There's something to be said for not making promises, you know. When he does make them, it ought to be for someone he wants to make them for."
"When? You are a hopeless romantic, if you think Mr. Solo is going to fall head over heels for some woman and swear fidelity 'til death do us part."
"It could happen!"
"I just hope you haven't got your heart set on him."
"Don't be silly. It won't be one of us. Napoleon needs someone...someone special."
"You are a romantic, but this isn't a fairy tale. There isn't anyone that special."
"Oh, don't be such a killjoy. I believe there's someone for everyone, and don't tell me any different. I wouldn't want to think there isn't anyone out there for me, either."
"Of course there is. You're a sweetie. Why, Jack down in imaging..."
The conversation went on for a good ten minutes after that, but Napoleon tuned it out, waiting instead for the sound of the doors closing behind the women. It came at last, their coffee break over, and he retreated back to his office, empty handed.
Illya sat at his desk, head bent over the report he was writing. "You took your time getting that coffee," he said without looking up. "Were you waylaid by a young lady, or are you just trying to avoid your share of this report?"
"The former," Napoleon forced a light note into his voice. "I wouldn't abandon you to this sea of paperwork."
Naturally, Illya heard beyond the false cheer. The put on was for the benefit of other ears. Mostly a habit, here in HQ, but it was best not to break some habits. His eyes narrowed speculatively at his partner, but all Illya said aloud was, "Of course you would. But you're out of luck this time, my friend. I saved it for you."
Napoleon settled in, his grumbling even less convincing than his cheer had been, and did his best to lose himself in the mind numbing details of the bureaucracy that is generated by any large organization. Fragments of the overheard conversation kept intruding on his concentration, which spurred him to concentrate harder, which resulted in his finishing his paperwork before Illya. A rare occurrence, and one that only deepened the concern he could see in his partner's clear blue eyes.
If Illya was letting him see that concern, Napoleon could count on having a 'surprise' visitor to his apartment that evening. There were half a dozen things he could say to head that off at the pass, but he voiced none of them, instead glancing at the clock.
It was going to be a long day.
The knock on his door came just as Napoleon was about to put two laden dinner plates in the oven to keep warm. He left them on the counter instead and went to the door to let his partner in. Illya cast an eye over the plates. "Expecting company?"
"Company is here," Napoleon said, waving him toward the food.
"Am I that predictable?"
Napoleon smiled at that. Illya, predictable? "No," he answered. "I just know you that well." Settling himself at the dinner table, Illya raised an eyebrow and inscribed a circle in the air with his fork. "All clear," Napoleon assured him. "I checked when I got home."
"Then will you tell me what is wrong?"
It was a stupid thing to be upset about. Napoleon knew that, but he also knew better than to say so. Illya wouldn't tolerate that sort of evasion. But maybe a delay, until he could do something more than eat after. "After dinner?"
Illya pursed his lips and considered a moment. Either Napoleon's request or Illya's hunger won out, because he conceded by putting fork to food. Dinner went slowly, though neither of them spoke. But finally the dishes were washed and dried and returned to their places in the cabinets, and Illya was waiting.
Napoleon suppressed a sigh and rubbed the back of his neck. "It's nothing," he said, but went on before Illya could argue. "I was just presented with the inevitable results of my reputation a little more bluntly than usual."
"Someone said something to you?" Illya asked, surprised.
"No, no," Napoleon waved the suggestion off. "I overheard a couple of the secretarial pool gossiping."
"And what is the gossip today?"
Napoleon leaned back against the sink, bracing his hands on the edge by his hips. "Apparently I went to bed with Sandy Emerson last night."
Illya's eyes glittered in amusement. He stepped up close to his partner and curled his fingers around Napoleon's hips. "Really? Then who was that in bed with me?"
"I don't know why they jump to these conclusions," Napoleon muttered, less amused than he probably should have been. "I had her home by ten o'clock."
A warm, broad hand came up to cup his cheek gently. Gentle blue eyes captured his gaze. "It is very fortunate for us that they do, Polya," Illya said seriously. "Now tell me what else they said."
Closing his eyes, Napoleon turned his cheek into his lover's touch and took a breath, savoring the clean scent of him. "I've slept with every woman at HQ who isn't married or over thirty," he confessed, as if it were true. "I couldn't make a commitment if my life depended on it. I'm a slut. And anyone who thinks I could ever really fall in love must be a hopeless romantic."
Illya let out a soft breath replete with understanding. Not opening his eyes, Napoleon slid his arms around that familiar body and drew Illya into his embrace. He pressed their cheeks together and relaxed a little as Illya's arms went around him in turn.
"You remember," Illya said after awhile, "that it's good that they say those things. We've worked to make sure that they believe in your reputation even in the face of the inevitable inconsistencies."
Napoleon opened his eyes at last. "I know." He laughed softly, without amusement. "It's funny. I never cared what they thought, before. But now...now I want them to know that I can love, and do. I want them to know that I can be faithful, and am. I want them to know how incredibly special you are."
Napoleon could feel Illya's smile against his cheek. "You are a romantic. If only they knew, your reputation would never recover."
Softly: "I don't want that reputation anymore."
Illya pulled back and cupped Napoleon's face in both hands. "Think of it as protective camouflage," he advised. "It is not you. It's just something you put on and take off as needed."
A smile crept onto Napoleon's lips. "Is this work creeping into our personal life again?"
"Oh no," Illya murmured. "We have no need to hide from each other." With the pads of his fingers, he prompted Napoleon to bend his head for a kiss. It was a soft, sweet meeting of mouths, sharing breath, so tender that it made Napoleon's heart ache. They pulled apart only for a moment, more to brush lips than because they had any real need to.
"I love you," Napoleon murmured, his lips touching Illya's with even that small movement.
Illya leaned back a bit to share a smile with him. "I know," he assured his partner. He let his hands fall and took Napoleon's touch from his waist, twining their fingers together instead. "Come to bed, Polya. Let me remind you what makes our little charade worthwhile."
"I don't need reminding," Napoleon protested, but he let himself be drawn into the bedroom without any resistance.
"Perhaps not," was Illya's only response, his attention being rather more absorbed in divesting Napoleon of the layers of his suit.
At last they crawled in between the sheets together. Napoleon sighed in soft satisfaction at the touch of fresh, clean cotton against his bare skin, and sighed again as Illya pressed him down on his back and blanketed him with his own body. "You feel good," he whispered, lifting a hand to slide his fingers into the mop of blond hair.
Illya leaned into the caress for a moment, but only a moment. "It gets better," he promised, and leaned down for another kiss.
Napoleon eased his legs open, allowing Illya to settle even more closely against him, their thighs interlocking like puzzle pieces. "I fit with you," he said, softly, like a prayer, like a plea. Napoleon filled one hand with the smooth curve of Illya's buttock. The other he took from Illya's hair in favor of putting it around his lover's back. Hanging on.
"You do," Illya assured him. Then he began to move, languidly pushing against Napoleon's body with his own. "We're good together. We're always good together."
Warmth seemed to sink into Napoleon skin from all sides at once. He pulled Illya into another kiss, intent on sharing the warm glow that suffused him. Almost absently Napoleon began kneading the firm flesh of Illya's ass. Illya moaned and deepened the kiss suddenly, his thighs closing hard around Napoleon's.
Chuckling, Napoleon let the kiss come to an end for the moment and gazed up into dazed blue eyes. "Look at you," the American said huskily, "and people think I'm the hedonist."
"This isn't hedonism," Illya argued breathlessly and closed his eyes, rubbing intently against Napoleon. He could have been seeking his own pleasure, or his partner's; the way they were entwined now, any movement by either caressed both. "It's communism at its best."
Napoleon pressed his head back into the pillow and let his hands wander up and down Illya's back, fingers stroking the hollow on either side of his spine. Such smooth skin there...neither of that had come quite that close, yet.
"How do you figure that?" Napoleon asked at last, the question having only slowly sunk through the fog of pleasure.
Illya leaned down and met his lips for another long, slow kiss. A smooth, subtle intensity was building in Napoleon, lapping at his nerves like the incoming tide. Lazily, he drew it into the kiss they shared, felt Illya pulse with it. Slowly, the Illya pulled away and licked Napoleon's lips, quick and soft.
"We are sharing what we have," the Russian answered, burying a hand in Napoleon's hair and stroking his thumb along his jaw line, "and taking what we need. Yes?"
Napoleon laughed and arched beneath him. "Da," he answered, the syllable stretching out into a long 'ah' of release as his climax rolled through him.
Illya followed close behind him, as he always did, and Napoleon welcomed him with a soft brush of his lips. "We should clean up," Napoleon murmured, sleepily. But the bed was warm, and Illya was here, and he felt relaxed at last...
"Go to sleep, Polya," Illya whispered. "I'll take care of it."
Oblivion beckoned, but there was still something to say, wasn't there? Oh yes. "Love you," Napoleon managed.
"I know, Polya. And I love you."
That was it.

Reconstructive Memory is an English term borrowed from cognitive psychology meaning that memory isnot a faithful reproduction of past events but rather a mental faculty based on recollectionreconstructionprocesses. Depending on our emotions, our level of tiredness, our beliefs, we mayreconstruct episodes from our lives in a way that leads to distortions, alterations and false memories.Since the invention of computers, the data-storage race has been generating technological debates.The machines are obliged to keep offering more memory to enable us to preserve our own. Like asearch engine, our brain uses this external memory more and more, and invents strategies to free itselffrom the overload of amassed information. It therefore knows where to find the details it needs,without needing to store the contents: a new way to operate our encephalon, approaching a form ofartificial intelligence.It has now become a habit on the internet: documentation precedes exhibition visits. Those immaculateimages purged of all imperfections circulate quickly, often substituting for the works, which must bephotogenic above all. In Reconstructive Memory, we further accentuate the difference between thephysical encounter with the pieces and their discovery through documentation. In fact, although we areable to get close to the works in the gallery, the experience behind the screen is disrupted by largeprinted transparent filters placed in the axis of the pieces hung on the gallery walls, allowing only apartial view of these.Whether it be the paintings that Gina Beavers has carefully modelled and painted based onphotographs gleaned on Google images; poetic collages by Hayley Tompkins made up of rephotographedadvertisements arranged on galvanized metal panels; thermally moulded intestinalpaintings by Nicolas Deshayes; sculpted paint by Michael Assiff; varnished, melancholic paintings byPhilipp Timischl; or the woven digital image by Travess Smalley, the works presented in the space arehard to understand by means of a two-dimensional image. Beyond their meaning, they were chosen fortheir complex materiality and appear muddled, as if they had poorly digested their transfer to thescreen. Fleshy, corporeal, reflecting our own anatomy, they make Reconstructive Memory an exhibitionyou want to roam, explore, even touch.The large-format prints placed in the visitor's field of vision were made from Galerie Valentin'sphotographic archives. During the consultation period, our own memories of visits to rue Saint-Gillesresurfaced. We were gripped by the specificities of the place and the hanging automatisms that ledsuccessive photographs to produce five recurring viewing angles. Collages created by superimposingand deforming dozens of exhibition views are seen as memory interfaces, mnesic traces of the pastthirteen years. Taking as their very subject the place in which they have been set up, these porousscreens oscillate between scenographic elements and contextual sculptures. These ambiguous filters,conceived as pieces that condition access to the works and unsettle visitors, act as revelatoryreproductions offering a new perspective on the work of the invited artists.The exhibition follows Screen Play (SWG3 Gallery, Glasgow 2014); Deep Screen (Parc Saint-Léger,Pougues-les-Eaux 2015) and Show Room (Glassbox, Paris 2015) and is part of an exploration of methodsof producing, installing, apprehending and distributing an exhibition. Reconstructive Memory offers twosimultaneous experiences that are different and complementary at the same time. Although coming tothe gallery will still make it possible to have a special relationship with the works, the online visit, agenuine exhibition project in its own right, will be no less unique and original. Whichever experience ishad, our memory will inexorably make sure to change our recollection of it.It's Our PlaygroundFormed in 2009, It's Our Playground is an artist duo consisting of Camille Le Houezec and JocelynVillemont. Most of IOP's initiatives take the form of exhibitions, online projects, scenographies orinstallations, which have the particularity of using curating as a medium. IOP pursues an unneuroticexploration of forms of presentation, exhibition setups and the internet's influence on contemporarylife and art. They recently had two duo exhibitions in 2016: Mental Matter at Bains-Douches in Alençonand Visual Matter at Piacé le Radieux. Their new project Exhibition Gradient has been online sinceFebruary.9
