Bookbinder's Re-Opening
Ever confused about the whole Bookbinder's not Bookbinder's saga? A new chapter has opened with the Old Original Bookbinders now re-opening, but under ownership of someone totally new. Via The NY Times
Old Original Bookbinder's, the historic Philadelphia seafood restaurant at 125 Walnut Street (215-925-7027) that Samuel Bookbinder opened in 1865, has been resuscitated after having been closed for three years. It will open on Monday. John Taxin, whose grandfather bought the place in 1944 from the Bookbinders, has shrunken the premises to 13,000 square feet from 45,000. The new chef, David Cunningham, right, worked in New York at Le Bernardin, Lespinasse and Lenox, and at the Yardley Inn in Bucks County. The confusion between Old Original Bookbinder's and Bookbinder's 15th Street House, also in Philadelphia, is over. That restaurant, which was opened by members of the Bookbinder family, has closed.

This groundbreaking 3 part series, is an important message of Hope from Billy Graham, featuring Lacey Sturm and Lecrae.
Billy Graham had been asking God for an opportunity to bring lasting hope to the entire nation. On his 95th birthday, he did just that through a groundbreaking series called My Hope America. In what was his final public address, this outreach effort charted a new path with a message of God's love. Evangelist Billy Graham has preached about the cross to millions of people around the world, and he brought the timeless message of hope and redemption in Jesus Christ to America once more. "With all my heart I want to leave you with the truth that He loves you and wants to forgive you of your sins."

Interview with Swim for West Papua captain Joel Evans
August 25, 2017
Sign & Share the Swim for West Papua petition here
On August 29th, the Global Petition for West Papua which has already reached tens of thousands of signatures across West Papua and around the world, will be handed into the United Nations in Geneva. Prior to this, it will be taken by Swim for West Papua, a group of swimmers, and literally swum across all 69km of Lake Geneva and into the hands of the UN!
We caught up with Swim for West Papua team leader Joel Evans from the UK to ask about how he got involved with this wonderful initiative and his thoughts and feelings around the upcoming swim.
Free West Papua Campaign: So, Joel how did you hear about West Papua in the first place?
Joel Evans: I first heard of what was going on in West Papua back in 2012 when I was working in Fiji on a marine conservation project. I've always wanted to keep up with that part of the world and it was then that my friend Joey Tau told me about the crisis going on in West Papua. I've since been back in the region a number of times and have been following the issue since. Each visit has reinforced and affirmed my desire to do something. I've always had a nagging question in the back of my mind where this issue was concerned, how can I contribute in a positive way and help raise awareness? I felt angered when I learnt about the injustices and discrimination faced by the West Papuan people.
How did you feel after learning about the secret genocide and illegal military occupation?
Joel Evans: The West Papuan issue is one that calls our common humanity into question on a deep level. My initial feeling was anger and frustration at the senseless injustice of the crisis but I think throughout the course of this campaign and perhaps even before this all kicked off I felt a huge sense of compassion. The West Papuan people have been the victims of 50 years of indiscriminate, unreported killing. For a large part, we have been kept in the dark about their suffering, while our governments have been complicit in their suffering. Whether that's through arms deals, trade and treaties (such as the Lombok Treaty) with Indonesia or anything, else our governments have a lot to answer for.
Reading academic reports revealed the extent of our greed and inhumanity, endless military operations, organised mass murder of West Papua's tribes, all for the profit of a couple of multinational corporations. How could anyone not feel compassion?
In time, I also began to feel a frustrated compassion towards the individuals but also those individuals who committed these acts. This swim is for the West Papuans, we are swimming to raise awareness of something awful, but it's also a call, a call to recognise our common shared humanity. As Desmond Tutu so wonderfully pointed out in his endorsement of the swim "we are all part of one BIG family", and we can't get around or escape that. We are better than this. You're better than your worst actions and we should live to expect the best of each other.
Something that has informed my thinking on this has been Desmond Tutu's book Made for Goodness. The book is encouraging and yet profoundly confrontational. In our anger, we often risk becoming and acting as inhumanly as those who have angered us. While revenge may satisfy us for a while, in the long run the cycle of violence just repeats itself.
There is a third way, a better way, a nonviolent, peaceful way, it's more effective and it requires the best of us.
It's on us to help Indonesia reclaim their humanity and come back to the table, we must not lose ours in our effort to bring them back and help them recognise theirs. As frustrating as this was to realise, it is true.
I had two thoughts at the very beginning of the project, two desired outcomes, I said to myself, "if one more person finds out about West Papua because I swim then it's worth it." The second thought was "if we get to the UN and there was cursing and raised eyebrows from the Indonesian delegation then, my job was done. I will expose some of the worst acts by giving my best" that is to say, by showing what we are all made for, what Desmond Tutu would call goodness.
So why swimming? How did you get this incredible idea to swim 69km across Lake Geneva?
Joel Evans: I had this crazy idea one day standing at a photocopier. I was doing a temp job at the time and it was brain numbingly boring job. I suddenly thought, "I can swim. I know other people who can swim". The primary reason I thought of Lake Geneva was because Tim, an old school friend (one of the team members) had setup the Lake Geneva Swimming Association (LGSA). "What if we swim up Lake Geneva and deliver a petition to the United Nations to raise support for the people of West Papua". That was the original idea, it didn't go beyond that, there was a lot I didn't know.
At that time, the petition was just a bit of paper that said 'The Petition' with a bunch of names beneath it. I didn't know how significant the petition would be to so many, that it would become a symbol of hope, the centre point of an international campaign and signing would be considered an act of defiance in the face of oppressors. These thoughts were the subject of some far off distant dream. I approached a few people (such as Tim) with the idea and they were game, we then reached out to the Free West Papua Campaign who loved the idea and agreed to run with it. The rest is history.
How's the training going? Any particular interesting moments?
Joel Evans: I've always enjoyed going to the gym and keeping in shape so the land based training has great. It's great to have a bigger purpose and reason to go and train for.
Open water swimming has been a new challenge, a number of team members are very experienced in this area which is a big help to those of us who haven't done any before.
We have been training together for the past year and recently we did a team swim in Dover, in which some members qualified. It was the first cold water swim all together and it was pretty hard going. But the team time together was invaluable. One of our team, Tom (with a beard), has had a few close encounters with curious fish while training in a lake in Shropshire. Carey rediscovered her phobia of pondweed in Llyn Gwynant and we've all bonded over hot drinks and warm clothes in the middle of the summer, on a beach in Dover.
So far, the hardest part for me has been the qualifying swimming, 2 x 2 hour swims on the same day in open water below 17 degrees. I completed mine in Snowdonia National Park in Llyn Gwynant, the water temperature was sub 15 degrees (although I didn't know that at the time). I've been reliably informed that I was blue from the chest upwards when I got out after the first two hours. The getting back in is the hardest part mentally, you know it's going to be cold. Exposure to cold temperatures for long periods of time is essential for our training, the colder the better. We are expecting the temperature in Geneva to be between 18 – 25 degrees, we've deliberately been swimming in colder water so it's easier during the real thing.
I think the hardest part of this swim is not going to be the physical part, we can all swim, we've proved that to ourselves and one another, the tough bit is going to be the mental challenge we face.
I think there's a supreme irony to this swim, in that, when I was a kid I was terrified of water. I remember attending swimming lessons. While others threw themselves into the pool on command, it took 20 minutes to persuade me that jumping in was a good idea. If you'd told me then that one day I'd be swimming up Lake Geneva I wouldn't have believed you.
How does it feel for you and the team to be just a few days away from the big swim?
Joel Evans: I think I'd be lying if I said any of the team weren't feeling apprehensive. We've all been challenged physically and mentally, it's good to be together. It's an encouraging thought to know that we have the support of thousands of people around the world. Perhaps more significantly, that people are find out about what's going on in West Papua, after we're swimming to highlight their plight and their desire to be free!
And how does it feel to know that thousands of people in West Papua are signing the petition and supporting the swim?
Joel Evans: It's a dream come true. I told myself it was worth doing if one more person found out about what was going on in West Papua. I think I speak for the whole team and the probably the Free West Papua Campaign when I say we're in awe that it's taken off the way it has. Personally, I'm glad that people have rallied around the event and petition. As a team and individuals, we are humbled and honoured that people all over West Papua are risking their person safety to openly support this effort to raise awareness. The support from people such as Desmond Tutu, Hugh Lunn and many others has been mind boggling. I'd also like to humbly ask that you keep talking to everyone about the petition and upcoming swim, without you, this campaign wouldn't be where it is today.
Do you have a message to people around the world regarding the swim and the petition?
Joel Evans: Yes, you're invited to be part of something bigger, something that requires the best of you. We are made for goodness, it's in our DNA. If we weren't made for goodness, bad news wouldn't be the norm on the evening news. I'd like to ask you that you live into that potential and stand with the people of West Papua. Sign the petition so the West Papua people can determine their own destiny.
And do you have a message for the people of West Papua?
Joel Evans:
To the people of West Papua, I say, the world is waking up and hearing your cry for freedom. I hope that by swimming for West Papua even more people wake up and find out about your desire for self-determination and justice. You are strong and courageous, you embody all that it is to be human, you have the same hopes and dreams as many other people. So long as you want freedom, we will stand by you. Join and support you on your walk to freedom. We might be only six swimmers but I am confident these are 69km we can journey together. God bless you, keep and protect you.
Wa wa wa wa
Thank you so much Joel, you are a true inspiration to people everywhere and are making history for West Papua. Keep up the amazing work! We'll continue to update people on the progress of the swim and the petition.

Here's a fun engineering Forces Webquest Freebie for you. My students have been studying engineering design and how failure leads to innovation. It's been such a great start to the year because it has given us the opportunity to create the understanding that "All good structures have strong foundations" (freebie poster of this quote). We talk about how this is true in all venues of life and then turn our attention to engineering design and how more often than not, engineers are met with design constraints and failures. This shouldn't be thought of in the traditional sense of the word though… a failure in engineering is just information about what doesn't work.
We started our unit by building towers made of three cups, one sheet of construction paper, and 50 cm of tape. From there we studied how structures fail with a focus on the Tower of Pisa. I found this great video that explains what happened and how the engineers attempted to keep the tower from falling.
We then read about the Loma Prieta earthquake that happened in 1989. A section of the Bay Bridge collapse, leading to the construction of a new design that worked better for an area that experiences so much of the earth's movement.
This lead us to our focus of forces that act on objects. In my search for good material, I came across this great resource created and developed by PBS. The Forces Lab teaches students the technical terms for various forces, loads, materials (which I didn't use in the webquest), and strength of shapes. The students developed such a strong understanding of these design principles. I also used some of the "mini activities" and "straw shapes" lab to reinforce their learning.
You can download Forces Webquest Freebie here!
Want to know what's up next with my kiddos? They'll take their understanding of the design principles we've discussed and BUILD BRIDGES! I'm tracking their progress with these super-awesome engineering design process posters.
Check back for more details as our bridges are built! Here's a design plan for one of my student team's bridges… I can't wait to see it!
So fun!!!

What will 3D printing mean for field services?
Technology is growing at a rapid pace and predicting the technology trends that will become common place in the future has become a difficult task. The latest and greatest technologies are not always the ones that have the biggest impact and the buzz surrounding these technologies is not the best way to gauge the affect they might have in the real world.
3D printing is a great example of a technology that could have a huge impact on everyday life and publications like Forbes, the World Economic Forum, and Harvard Business Review have all predicted it will 'change the world'.
The discussion surrounding the technology is also vast and in the UK alone there were over 1,200 articles published last month about it. With so much interest, it is important to understand how much of the discussion is realistic and how much is ambitious, especially in industries like field services where the technology could arguably have a big impact. So what is 3D printing, and will it change the way field services operates?
What is it?
3D printing is used to describe a range of digital manufacturing tools which produce 3D parts layer-by-layer. There are lots of different types of 3D printing processes, some that use molten plastic, and others that use metals like gold or silver. In China concrete houses have been produced using this method, but whatever the material, the principal of using digital designs to produce items layer by layer remains the same in each case.
3D printing is more of a new manufacturing technique than it is an offshoot of printing and this sometimes causes confusion. 3D printing's more accurate name is 'additive manufacturing', but this term isn't used nearly as much.
What is the advantage over traditional manufacturing?
Amongst other advantages, 3D printing isn't constrained by tooling which means that items don't have to be manufactured in large quantities to be economically viable. Instead, with 3D printing, parts can be manufactured where they are needed and at a rate that is appropriate for the demand. 3D printing is also able to produce complex parts with a high degree of accuracy, a process which currently requires expensive equipment.
What could this mean for field services?
It is possible that in the future, crucial spare parts in the field services supply chain will be manufactured by the engineers themselves using 3D printing. At present, the supply chain behind getting parts to engineers is a complex interconnected web of suppliers, OEMs and distributors which could be simplified greatly if the engineer was able to produce parts for themselves.
For example, if a field engineer ran out of a certain screw or bolt, instead of raising an order with a supplier, the engineer could, in theory, just print the part they needed.
The manufacturing cost of producing the part would be similar, but money would be saved from stock holdings and logistics. However, for this to become a reality 3D printers would need to be significantly quicker. Even small parts currently take around two hours to print, highly impractical if an engineer needed to print out hundreds.
What next for this technology?
3D printing is not going to replace traditional manufacturing techniques, at least not in the short to medium term. Instead, traditional manufacturing techniques are going to be supplemented by 3D printing. It is already possible for highly complex parts to be produced this way and in healthcare, cups for hip replacements and other reconstructive surgeries are now almost all produced using this method. In field services, more complex parts may start to be manufactured using 3D printing, but this won't have a profound impact on the way supply chains operate.
The potential is there, however, for engineers to start producing their own parts and this would fundamentally change the way we view certain items. Stock holdings could be greatly reduced and the virtual warehouses of the future could be databases of part blueprints for engineers to simply download to create. For this to happen the technology will need a lot more development, but it is exciting none-the-less.

Compensation For Cyclist Knocked Off Bike in Cycle Lane
04 October 2016
A cyclist was awarded a four-figure settlement for his injuries and losses suffered when he was knocked off his bike in a cycle lane.
Slater and Gordon Lawyer: Rachel Coulson is a chartered legal executive and personal injury lawyer at Slater and Gordon Lawyers in Sheffield.
Settlement: £4,000
What Happened: Our client was cycling along a cycle path on his way to work when the defendant driver cut across his path to enter a car park, knocking him off his bike.
Impact: Our client sustained soft tissue damage and psychological injuries preventing him from returning to cycling for his commute.
How Slater and Gordon Helped: The defendant's insurers admitted liability, but would not agree to compensate our client for the damage to his bike – which was written off in the accident – or for the travel expenses he incurred for a hire car by no longer being able to commute by bicycle.
We arranged physiotherapy to aid his recovery, which they also refused to pay for.
The matter proceeded to a court hearing and we successfully managed to recover the cost of a replacement bike, treatment costs, travel expenses and also an increase in the defendant's offer for his general damages, which compensate for the pain and suffering caused.
Decision: Settlement of £4,000

|From April 16, 2015. Rep. Bryant offers HB 3797 for
consideration in the House. The measure received
unanimous support in the Illinois House and Senate
and was signed into law this week.
Springfield….State Rep. Terri Bryant (R-Murphysboro) announced Wednesday that Governor Bruce Rauner has signed HB 3797 into law. Bryant sponsored the bill to help widows and widowers cut the cost of expensive transfers of car titles. Shortly after being inaugurated, Bryant was approached by her constituent Marilyn Feldman, who experienced financial hardship upon the death of her husband.
"I introduced HB 3797 to help cut down on the expensive transfer of a vehicle title when someone's spouse dies. Right now, this costs the surviving spouse $95. I worked hard with the Secretary of State's office and we were able to drop that fee down to $15, making it much more affordable," Bryant said.
Bryant says she is thankful to her colleagues for unanimously supporting the bill. She also thanked the Governor for adding his signature Tuesday, making the bill a law.
"This legislation offers a much needed cut to costs experienced by individuals dealing with the death of a spouse," Bryant said. "This action responds to a specific concern expressed by a constituent. I am proud of this bill in particular because it was the first constituent driven bill to be requested after I took office."
For her part, Ms. Feldman thanked Rep. Bryant for her quick attention to the matter.
"This gives me hope that we can help other people that are facing a similar hardship," Feldman said. "I want to thank Representative Bryant for her work on this issue and for accomplishing something that will help seniors and other tax payers save money on expensive title transfer fees when they lose a loved one. For folks like me on a fixed income, every dollar you can save really counts."
To contact Rep. Bryant, please visit www.repbryant.com and follow the Contact link. You may also call her district office at (618) 242-8115 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Joe Nickell points out the error.
I didn't get much of what the guy was saying to Joe - I'd only moved in when I saw Joe making that gesture and I wanted to capture it - they sounded like they were religious but I couldn't be sure. Joe was immediately afterwards charming to a little girl who wanted his autograph - he did a bunch of magic tricks with a wooden nickel he gave her. He gave me one after I told him I'd interviewed him for a story I wrote about the Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull.
There should be video of the presentations some time at this address:

Deadmaker Lyrics
Artist: Edguy
Album: Kingdom Of Madness
I can't feel, and I can't see
I'm falling down what's going on with me
Lord in heaven why am I here
Do I live to rise or rise to fall to shed another tear
One more time I fell that I'm alone
I can't describe it cause it's better to be shown
Feel the darkness covering the spite
Hear me screaming when it's pounding deep inside
Forever I'll be a poisoned thorn
I'll be haunting among your lives
The moment I was born it was time for him to rise
Deadmaker, deadmaker
Why don't you realize
That he can paralyze you all
My sorrow created by you
And even me cause I'm a self-destroying fool
I feel the spirit growing deep inside
I don't expect your comprehension
Cause even I don't know why

Fantasy Hockey Podcast – Protect Ya Hronek
Elan Dubrofsky
We don't get no bye weeks over here– even though everyone else is kicking back, we're at it again for another new episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast! If you thought there was no NHL news, notes and analysis to discuss during the All-Star break that could help you get an edge for your fantasy team.. you know us better than that.
Elan and Brian begin the week by considering the possibility that regression– gasp!– just ain't gonna come to a player who has successfully avoided it for 45-50 games, and that morphs into talk of the Gambler's Fallacy and coin-flipping and the colors of roulette wheels.
From there, they review where goalie loyalties might lie in Montreal, Nashville, Colorado and Washington, dig into some sad slumpers in Nashville and Winnipeg, herald some happy hotties in Calgary, Carolina, San Jose, Los Angeles and New York, discuss how Timo Meier can make history, and also share some names of players who were great not so long ago, but then blew it last year, but now are back to doing their thing in 2018-19.
Players discussed on this episode include Carey Price, Philip Danault, P.K. Subban, Ryan Ellis, Ryan Johansen, Pekka Rinne, Juuse Saros, Semyon Varlamov, Philipp Grubauer, Carl Soderberg, Braden Holtby, Pheonix Copley, Jaccob Slavin, Noah Hanifin, Nino Niederreiter, Frank Vatrano, Roberto Luongo, Auston Matthews, T.J. Brodie, William Nylander, Nazem Kadri, Jake Gardiner, Patrik Laine, Bryan Little, Ryan Getzlaf, Ondrej Kase, Corey Perry, Timo Meier, Evander Kane, Ilya Kovalchuk, Joe Thornton, Jeff Carter, Alex Tuch, Paul Stastny, Max Pacioretty, Brandon Pirri, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Alex Goligoski, Jakob Chychrun, Patrick Kane, Zach Parise, Mark Giordano, Dylan Strome, Erik Gustafsson, Mats Zuccarello, Evan Rodrigues, Mike Green, Niklas Kronwall, Filip Hronek, Herb Cain and more.

This piece of edible art was brought to me by my friend Kim van der Vyver, who is an experienced pastry (and everything else) chef, and who puts things on the table that make us all gasp and go No Way. To the extent that we all think Jamie and Nigel and Nigella should seriously consider moving over now.
"It's like a dinosaur's eye," said somebody at my table on Saturday before we applied the knife.
Kim's daughter Didi, who is also a trained chef and has the patience of Job, painstakingly cut the squillion slices of nectarine and arranged the raspberries and things. Didi makes cakes that look like food couture, that remind me quite a lot of the inside of this famous name department store in Paris.
The Saturday night summer fruit tart looks deadly, but the combination of summer fruits, custard and sweet buttery pastry done the proper way, made me die and go to heaven. I cave for anything with raspberry on it.
Kim thinks it might be a plan to open a speciality pie shop, where you can get all your die-and-go-to-heaven pies and tarts and cakes in one place. I say yes. I'm putting my order in already.

Today's post is c/o The Mint Julep Boutique. I got this little piece in the mail last week and I couldn't wait to feature it on the blog Let me tell you why it's my favorite! This jumper is made of super soft material. I can't quite peg what it is but it's great for summer! When you wear this darling jumpsuit y'all will know what I mean. I'm obsessed with the baby blue and white stripes + the elastic waist makes it super comfortable. The unique part of this jumpsuit is the back! The back has a super flattering opening that is not too revealing. I decided to wear a bandeau under because we had gone to church. So see this piece is super versatile for ay occasion! From the fit, style, and print of this jumpsuit you can't help but love it! If I could wear this jumpsuit everyday I totally would. I wore wrap sandals with a little wedge to them and I thought it worked perfectly. Y'all could totally style it with a cute sandal or wedge too! For jewelry I wore white tassel earrings and Kendra Scott necklace.
If this jumpsuit is your style I say GO FOR IT! If your more of a romper gal than shop The Mint Julep Boutique collection here!
(below I linked some others too!)
Have a happy day pretties!
Love from Texas,

Jewish World Review Jan 6, 2012/ 11 Teves, 5772

There's just something so very special about Ithala Game Reserve that causes us to return year after year. Maybe it is the spectacular scenery or the amazingly diverse wildlife. Maybe it's the friendly, hospitable staff members that makes us feel so welcome. Whatever the reason (and we suppose it has to be the entire package), there was no way we couldn't include Ithala in the itinerary of our "summer in the bush" December holidays.
Ithala's only 197km from Chelmsford Nature Reserve, and we arrived in the morning of the 15th of December under heavily laden skies. In fact, we'd see very little sunshine during our three night stay in comfortable Ntshondwe, Ithala's award-winning resort.
The reserve has a good network of all-weather gravel roads, and the rain did not interfere with our game-viewing to any large degree, although we weren't able to enjoy quite as many picnics as we had hoped to. While we didn't have any sightings of the predators that roam Ithala's diverse habitats (mostly at night) on this trip, the numerous herds of large herbivores were a sight to behold.
The elephants at Ithala are shy and seldomly seen, so we count ourselves very lucky to have had two sightings of them on this trip. One sighting was of a big herd near Ngubhu Picnic Site, moving along a drainage line some distance away. The second sighting however was a thrilling affair as we happened upon two young bulls right in the road, near gate closing time, around a bend between the Ngulumbeni Loop and camp. One of the bulls hightailed it deep into the bush as soon as we appeared around the corner, but his companion decided to give us a good show for quite a while, not prepared to relinquish his spot on the road to let us pass.
Whenever there was a break in the rain, we'd undertake short walks around Ntshondwe, enjoying the opportunity to get closer to some of Ithala's smaller and more delicate inhabitants.
Ithala in summer is a bird-watcher's delight, and even us, relatively novice "twitchers", managed to seek out and identify a wide variety of the reserve's feathered denizens, despite the mostly inclement weather.
Before leaving Ithala for uMkhuze Game Reserve, we took a short, final early morning drive towards the gate and Onverwacht Loop, and were rewarded for our effort by a herd of giraffe moving serenely along the horizon, dark clouds and the sun struggling to break through providing a dramatic background to the scene.
Reason enough to return to Ithala? Absolutely! Not that we need an excuse, this place has had us under its spell for so long we won't be able to stay away.

Space is the boundless, three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction. Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime. In mathematics, "spaces" are examined with different numbers of dimensions and with different underlying structures. The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.
Debates concerning the nature, essence and the mode of existence of space date back to antiquity; namely, to treatises like the Timaeus of Plato, or Socrates in his reflections on what the Greeks called khora (i.e. "space"), or in the Physics of Aristotle (Book IV, Delta) in the definition of topos (i.e. place), or even in the later "geometrical conception of place" as "space qua extension" in the Discourse on Place (Qawl fi al-Makan) of the 11th century Arab polymath Alhazen. Many of these classical philosophical questions were discussed in the Renaissance and then reformulated in the 17th century, particularly during the early development of classical mechanics. In Isaac Newton's view, space was absolute—in the sense that it existed permanently and independently of whether there were any matter in the space. Other natural philosophers, notably Gottfried Leibniz, thought instead that space was a collection of relations between objects, given by their distance and direction from one another. In the 18th century, the philosopher and theologian George Berkeley attempted to refute the "visibility of spatial depth" in his Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision. Later, the metaphysician Immanuel Kant said neither space nor time can be empirically perceived, they are elements of a systematic framework that humans use to structure all experiences. Kant referred to "space" in his Critique of Pure Reason as being: a subjective "pure a priori form of intuition", hence it is an unavoidable contribution of our human faculties.
In the 19th and 20th centuries mathematicians began to examine non-Euclidean geometries, in which space can be said to be curved, rather than flat. According to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, space around gravitational fields deviates from Euclidean space. Experimental tests of general relativity have confirmed that non-Euclidean space provides a better model for the shape of space.

Famous quotes containing the word space:
"It is not through space that I must seek my dignity, but through the management of my thought. I shall have no more if I possess worlds."
—Blaise Pascal (16231662)
"Time in his little cinema of the heart
Giving a première to Hate and Pain;
And Space urbanely keeping us apart."
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
"The womans world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space."
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)

Because we have become numb to mid-to-high five-figure bathroom remodels that begin by ripping everything down to the studs. If you already have remodel bathroom ideas or are looking for advice on master bathroom remodel ideas, small bathroom remodel ideas, bathroom remodel designs, bathroom shower remodel ideas, or you're looking to do a full bathroom remodel, our trained professionals can help plan and execute your home bathroom remodel. You can find great bathroom remodeling ideas by visiting new homes for sale nearby to find out what the builders/renovators have done.
Because bathrooms are small, it is possible for you to buy nearly or fully assembled bathroom vanity units and vanity tops and have them in place within a couple of hours. As previously mentioned the internet is filled with valuable information; information that may help make your next bathroom remodeling project a success. In fact, many well-known designers and entertainers have segued from designing clothing and home décor into bathroom and kitchen fixtures and appliances. There will be a bigger change to the overall look of your bathroom once you're finished.
However, while there are several factors that can help you narrow your choices, it's best to start with a careful observation and examination of your existing bathroom, and then look for the perfect bathroom accessories like showers etc. You want to get the value of a new bathroom for the amount of money you are paying the remodeling contractor. New bathroom fixtures, modern interior decorating ideas, light room colors, metal, and glass accessories create functional and bright decor adding a contemporary flair to modern bathrooms. Most tub relining services will also offer a shower liner to cover your old tile.
Like Japanese shoji screens, these glass doors separate the tub and shower stall from the dressing area. If you're not ready to commit to bold tile in an area like the kitchen, try it in a powder room or guest bathroom. One of our award-winning interior designers will be happy to meet with you to determine how you envision the finished bathroom, and then will offer ideas based on those conversations. Our team specializes in all aspects of bathroom remodeling, whether you want a tub to shower conversion, modern fixtures or a fresh take on the walls and flooring. A bright aqua tiled tub takes over in this downstairs bathroom, while the white shower curtain cuts up the room, making it appear smaller.
The sliding door phenomenon partners neatly with sustainability: old, salvaged doors of all kinds make showpiece barn doors for your bathroom. Bathroom fixtures such as the sink, shower stall, bathtub, and cabinets are not easily moved, and will require the services of a licensed plumber, a carpenter, and possibly an electrician. There are currently many choices when it comes to changing the color of your bathroom. In your mind's eye, walk through the door, up the stairs, through the master bedroom and into your perfect bathroom. That's definitely something I'd love to have on my bathroom wall and I think it would look really stunning!

Great vector and the background looks pretty with the lighting.
Spiral is awesome! ^^

mrawr the good use of pastel colors caught my eye, though on fullview i have to say that you should use shape layers for lineart and practice vectoring some more just to get better flow/technique.
disagree with cat about the shades, i think they are ok, just need some refinement
i love spiral art <33

Goblin Market is a unique, addictive card game with an amazing amount of depth! Players take turns bidding on auctions of 1 to 3 cards.
There are six suits available and each card may have one or two suits. You only score points for the top three suits you possess at the end of the game, and LOSE points for any others, so be careful what you bid for or you may find yourself at the bottom of the scoreboard!
At the start of the game the goblins will help by giving you coins to get started, but as the game progresses they get more reluctant to part with their hard-earned wealth. Once that happens, you'll have to rely on the other players for more coins.
The game includes pass-and-play multiplayer for up to 4 players.
"We appreciate original games, no matter the genre. We're used to reviewing re-makes of old classic games or replicas. This is original, and that's its added value."-androidzoom.com

Hiding in the wings of this administration is more than a radical Muslim contingent and more than 1960s radicals of American heritage. Those two factions alone constitute more "enemy working together" than can be seen in the current or past two congresses. But just who is the coordinator of the agenda? Who is the puppeteer behind the marionette we see standing tall before the podium and Teleprompters? Just who is the man behind the man? Perhaps it is a woman.
References that the "White House was informed" continue yet the President maintains that he learned of – insert today's scandal here – from the morning paper, or from a news broadcast, or some right wing talk show, just like you. So, just how is the White House informed and who is the information receptor? The name Valerie Jarrett comes up as not just a, but the key influential individual with direct Oval office contact.
Jarrett is the lasting player of the administration. Long gone are the friends and other close advisors to the President. Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod didn't last long. It is speculated that they both questioned and disagreed with Jarrett's influence. One has to question if even Obama had an optional input regarding their dismissal. If there is a puppet master, the handler of the long and short strings must be very close to the marionette. In policy decisions, Valerie Jarrett seems to be in command.
As I've commented many times before, when Obama reads to an audience from the Teleprompter, his face often reveals that even he is questioning the words emitting from his lips. He looks as if he cannot believe anybody is foolish enough to believe the oratory. Sometimes a pause gives rise to the notion that he wonders how to speak the written words in front of him with a straight face. Positive reaction from the audience encourages yet amazes even him.
We may now know how it is that Obama has time for golf during every crisis. It is his pause time while the speech writer and true policy maker prepares how best to express authority and deflect responsibility. The greater the crisis, the less time Valerie has while the President shoots another eighteen. Perhaps that's why it takes him so long on the course, any course. Maybe the plan is to get him out of the way, so that he won't interfere with important decisions.
Perhaps this is why Obama becomes so vicious and vindictive when he doesn't get "his" way. He is the just front man, the egg and tomato catcher, while someone else is running the country. It has got to be tough for someone with such thin skin. It's just not fair that some people want to hold him accountable for his policies when the inner circle derides and overwrites his input before scripting the Teleprompters.
Jarrett and her handlers probably refer to Obama as the useful tool of the administration, though he undoubtedly agrees with the ultimate goal of destroying the country. A tool, by itself, is incapable of making anything happen. It must be manipulated by some one who knows how to read and implement the blueprint to be effective.
As good-looking as he is, as great an orator as he is, Obama is nothing more than a puppet in the play. His part in governing might be favorably compared to that of an award winning actor who had no input regarding the writing of the script or the directing or production of a movie in which he participates. Yet, the ignorant urban folk continue flocking to the theater believing he wants to give them what they want – free popcorn. They, then, accept his excuses for the theater being out of popcorn.
Meanwhile he and his troupe continue to expand the design of America's demise, keeping the easily beguiled uninformed and swooning. Yes, Valerie continues to remain high above the stage, out of sight behind the curtains on the catwalk. Not seen, but being in control allows her the opportunity to oversee all without getting stage dust on her hands. Even if he wanted to, he cannot exist without her. Even Michelle cannot disencumber her from Barry's life. Valerie Jarrett is the one we should fear.

Elementary students at BFA Fairfax recently participated in an annual Crowning Ceremony held during the weekly All-School morning meeting. This tradition marks the beginning of a new class of kindergarten students' journey into elementary school.
A unique feature of this event is the role that the fifth grade students play. Each kindergarten student is assigned a fifth grade buddy. The students meet weekly and participate in coordinated activities throughout the year. Through these activities, the relationships that are forged are both special and enduring. This is an important BFA tradition, and it reminds all of us that we are connected and are a community.
The Crowning Ceremony begins with the kindergarten students walking into All-School morning meeting with their fifth grade buddies through an arch made by the extended arms of all the elementary students. The kindergarten students are then welcomed, serenaded, and finally "crowned" by their fifth grade buddies.
Welcome to the BFA Class of 2026!

Weekly Worship Team Devotional Create Something For Others
Featuring Dan Wilt Posted on August 22, 2014
From Genesis 1 in The Message. "First this: God created the Heavens and Earth – all you see, all you don't see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss."
The very first verse of the Bible tells us something about the way God works in the world that should cause us to sit up and take notice. God creates. From nothing, He creates. For something, He creates. God is about making things, but those things He makes always have a purpose. At the beginning of time, God creates all things, in part, for you and for me. Every shining star, every dancing rain drop – it all started from Love.
When we approach our God-given creativity, we do so as those who reflect God's image. Unlike God, we can only make something out of something He has already allowed to run through our hands, our eyes, or our hearts. He starts the creative process in us. Why? To do what He does. He creates to show love, and to build others. We can take what seems to be insignificant to the world, and we make it into something substantial. Just like God has done with us.
Look for the hidden gems, in people and situations, that God is inviting you to touch with your creativity.
Lord, let me see the seemingly worthless things today, with the eyes of my Creator. I want to join you in recreating people through the creative work of my hands. Teach me to create something in response to what You've done in my life. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

Benefits of Positive Thinking
Attitude determines your personality, and positive thinking makes a difference in how you relate with others. Positive attitude lays foundation to positive thinking, which help to shape your future. It is an important element that will see you through difficult circumstances.
1. Stress management
Positive thinking will help you overcome stressful situations, in a logical manner. Replacing negative thoughts with optimism reduces anxiety and worry, thereby reducing stress in your life. Developing a positive attitude towards life helps you to overcome situations that might cause stress.
2. Reduces anxiety
Did you know that our thinking affects how our body functions? By replacing negative thinking with confidence, peacefulness and calmness instead of anxiety and resentment, you will feel more confident when you interact with others. This means improved sleeping patterns, reduced tension, fatigue, and anxiety. In fact, people who focus on negative thinking are likely to suffer more anxiety and depression.
3. Builds self-esteem
Having self-esteem means you have faith in your actions. This also implies that you are happy with your life. Positive thinking helps to promote self-confidence, which is the gateway to achieving full potential.
4. Decision making
Optimists make better life decision as opposed to people that focus on negative thinking. Positive thinking is beneficial as it enables you to make better decisions, by preventing you from harmful activities that may harm those around you. When you learn the importance of positive thinking, life will become less complicated.
5. Improves focus
Positive thinking enables you to gain focus on how to find solutions to real life problems rather than being trapped in negative emotions. Negative thinking means you are not ready to face your fears, which is advantageous as it holds you back from your aspirations.
6. Time management
With improved thinking and good decision making abilities, it become easier to organize your responsibilities. This means you have more time to spend with your friends, providing a positive view toward life challenges.
Through positive thinking, you will learn how to handle bad situations in a logical manner, making your life more comfortable.

A resident of Thaketa Township was robbed last night after the culprit — or possibly culprits — sprayed her with a substance that made her lose consciousness.
The incident took place around 10pm yesterday evening. The victim, Ma Htay, owns and runs a small convenience store. She didn't see the attacker, and because it was so late in the night, there weren't any witnesses outside either who could provide more information about the culprit.
"I don't know if it was a man or a woman. I know they came into the store. I heard the sound of something being sprayed and smelled some sort of strong scent. I don't remember anything else," Ma Htay told 7Day.
By the time she regained awareness, the thief had made off with Ma Htay's earnings for that day, several phone top-up cards, and a phone.

We got some of the kids out of school one afternoon a couple weeks ago and took them to the OU percussion studio's holiday concert. We got the "best" seats in the house, behind and above them. We could see everything they did!
We loved it. Don't miss this one next year, free and informal and oh, so cool!

Coupling of Arterial Wall Cell Dynamics and Blood Flow (2011)
Type of ContentTheses / Dissertations

Thesis DisciplineMechanical Engineering
Degree NameDoctor of Philosophy
PublisherUniversity of Canterbury. Centre for Bioengineering
AuthorsYamamoto, Miharushow all
The objective of this research is to investigate both mathematically and numerically the effects of vascular geometry upon the cellular dynamics in the endothelium and its consequence in the localisation of atherosclerosis. It is widely accepted that the formation of atherosclerotic plaques preferentially occurs at specific locations in the vasculature, such as arterial branches and bends. It has also been observed that, at the sites of plaque formation, the physiological functions of the vascular endothelium are impaired due to a defect in the production mechanisms of or diminished activities of endothelial nitric oxide (NO). From these observations, a correlation between the vascular geometry, which is effected via local haemodynamic forces, and local bioavailability of endothelial NO has been postulated. The research areas that have been involved in the investigation of atherosclerosis's localisation in the past, haemodynamics, medicine, calcium dynamics, NO kinetics and endothelial cell biology, have been studied individually, and there appears to be no integrated model to date that allows investigation of coupled haemodynamic and cellular mechanism applied in physiologically realistic model geometries. An integrated numerical model that includes these mechanisms will be developed in this research, which will lead to a further, more comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Expanding Client Intake and Community Outreach Staff
Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Expands Client Intake and Community Outreach Staff
The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and Economic Justice ("Lawyers' Committee") fosters equal opportunity and fights discrimination on behalf of people of color and immigrants. We engage in creative and courageous legal action, education and advocacy in collaboration with law firms and community partners.
Over the past year, we have seen staggering rates of hate-related incidents. The Lawyers' Committee has experienced a dramatic increase in requests for legal assistance with intakes rising from 4 to 20 per day. We have also seen a growing demand for free legal support from grassroots groups tackling injustice at the local level.
We are excited to announce two new staff roles that will help us meet community demand for our life-changing and law-changing work. Jennifer Navas Portillo, our current paralegal, will now serve as our Community Outreach and Engagement Paralegal. In this role, she will be a liaison between our attorneys and our allies, including grassroots organizations and community-based partners. Ms. Navas Portillo will help identify emerging trends and community needs. She will also conduct bilingual workshops, trainings, and "know-your-rights" presentations in the heart of minority and immigrant communities. "As a first-generation American who grew up in East Boston, I feel blessed to be giving back to my community," said Ms. Navas Portillo. A graduate of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, before joining the Lawyers' Committee, Ms. Navas Portillo served as a paralegal at Goddard, Scuteri & Delaney, and as an AmeriCorps legal advocate at Northeast Legal Aid.
We are also excited to announce that Megan Kim has joined the organization as a Paralegal. Ms. Kim is a recent graduate of Amherst College. Before joining the Lawyers' Committee, she lived in rural Spain for eight months teaching English. She also served as an intern at the Legal Aid Society in New York, and at Asian Americans Advancing Justice in California. "I am thrilled to help advance social justice on behalf of low-income communities," said Ms. Kim. An avid soccer player, Ms. Kim speaks fluent Spanish and French.
"In the current climate, the Lawyers' Committee has become a hub for litigation, advocacy, and resistance on behalf of communities of color and immigrant communities," said Ivan Espinoza-Madrigal, the Lawyers' Committee's Executive Director. Just days after the Trump Administration's Executive Order targeting sanctuary cities, we filed a federal lawsuit with Chelsea Collaborative challenging the constitutionality of the federal government's effort to defund sanctuary cities. Just days ago, in partnership with Centro Presente, we filed a new federal lawsuit against the Trump Administration to save humanitarian immigration protections for Black and Latino immigrants. Ms. Navas Portillo and Ms. Kim will deepen and expand the Lawyers' Committee's visibility across diverse communities and social justice movements.

So, as of yesterday, I was 30 days post-op. Thirty days ago, a hot surgeon opened me up, and CHANGED MY LIFE.
At this point, I am 27 lbs lighter since June 20th, 2011. I last weighed in on 7/13. I plan to weigh again tomorrow and see where we are at! It is so crazy…I eat an egg, and feel full beyond belief. I drink a protein shake, and it takes me about two hours to finish it! I am beyond grateful for all of the supportive people who have stuck by me this whole time, and cannot even begin to imagine what I would do without the encouragement and support. It's truly amazing how many people will think to check on you when you take on something like this. You learn who really cares about you, and who really celebrates your achievements WITH you.
I have a best friend that MAKES MY DAY. She drove me to and from surgery, and had a mini meltdown when the nurses rolled me to my room after surgery (as you can very well imagine, I was a HOT mess, apparently groaning about my shoulder pain!), and honestly, that's just the beginning of the list. We have a fabulous new condo together, and now that she no longer lives in Bakersfield, things are FINALLY back to normal. We just celebrated the past weekend with a day at the Del Mar Throughbred Club Horse Races (thanks, Corky!), and then spent Sunday with her boyfriends wonderful family at Glen Ivy Spa in Corona. Nothing like being painted in green goop with your bestie to get the bonding going! Lol. It's so nice to have her here again. I feel better when I go home, and I look forward to everything we do, because we always MAKE it fun….regardless! Give us some gossip mags and beach towels, and we will make it happen! 🙂 You can see just a glimpse of how we get down, complete with our oh so glam "My Fair Lady" style hats at the races this past weekend below(I snuck one of Lidia in there too! That girl is quite the anchor in the 5 years I have known her!):
As far as StupidHead is concerned….
Ahh….sometimes I just wish I could write him a REALLY long letter, and be able to vocalize everything that I think to tell him throughout the day. It's kind of annoying, really. I realized that he is one of the males in my life who can actually GET UNDER my skin, and I freaked out a bit. It's not really my style to stress over a dude. It's not my style to give a rip about whether or not they are upset with me, or I hurt their feelings. The lines of this friendship have just become so beyond blurred. And I am just as guilty as he is. I could say no….I could ignore the calls….but I never do. I decided last night that I was going to address the fact that we've overstepped the appropriate friendship boundaries after a small tiff last night, and then BOOM! He goes and starts on about all the things he likes about me. It was straight out of a chick flick…."I like that thing you do with your nose, that face you make when I annoy you? And I love it when you're angry, and then you just vent and go right back to being all sunshine and rainbows. I hear songs when I'm in the car, and just picture you smiling and singing along…."
WTF? The worst part? I remember pretty much every word he said. Which only means that we are really screwed here. So I need to start lining 'em back up again! I need to find someone that I really want to invest my time in. Maybe someone I'd actually consider fighting for. Someone I would go out of my way to express my feelings for, in the hopes that I could keep them.
OR! Maybe I can just act a straight fool for a little while! 🙂 Gotta make sure I can keep up with all these guys….settling down in the midst of so many changes and achievements could be a little foolish, after all! Time will tell.
In the meantime, I'm gonna keep stalking the Victoria's Secret website, and adding swimsuits to my shopping cart in preperation for my Sports Illustrated cover! A woman's work is never done!
I'm thinking that this could be it, seeing as it's my color and all. 😉
The Liya Push Up Halter Top suit from the "Beach Sexy" line at VictoriasSecret.com. I'll take HECK YES for $500, Alex!
Love and Lipgloss!

St. Matthew 18:42-43 (KJV)
42. And Jesus said unto him, "Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee."
43. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
The miracles that Jesus performed were acts of compassion. They were not meant to draw attention to Himself, but to bring praise to God. Jesus lived his life to glorify His Father.
Just as Jesus lived to glorify God, we too, are put here to glorify God. If what we do every day brings praise to our Father, then we have succeeded in life!
Beloved, do what you do today to bring praise and glory to God!
God bless you is my prayer!
Dr. J. M. Wooten
