In contemporary artspace 19Karen exhibition schedule is set for the end of the year. Starting from the end of November until the January 2017 19Karen prepared three solo shows of Australian artists Melissa Hartley, Richard Denny, and Yossi Messiah. Distinct in their styles and approach to materials, the artists play with contemporary visual forms but also hint at some older art historical tropes. Melissa Hartley is inspired by old masters' styles in her creation of melancholic portraits and still lifes that come out from the black background. Richard Denny's experiment with map has led him to make numerous faces from rivers, oceans and mountains cut out from the maps, which he then places layer upon layer on his expressionistic pieces. Yosi Messiah started out as a jewelry designer but soon turned to painting, where he explores urban imagery and wild side of life in his bold and colorful paintings.
A self-taught artist, Melissa Hartley is preoccupied with creation of artworks that can induce a reflection in the viewers, and that can stir emotions buried deep within the subconscious. She leaves viewers to find their own meaning and understanding in her works, and creates an atmosphere of mystery and beauty, instead of delivering a straightforward message. She achieves this by creating brilliantly crafted portraits, still lifes and depictions of animals. Hartley studied graphic design and is inspired by old masters, fashion photography, and botanical illustrations.
Her new series Nocturnal Heartstrings, made in already recognizable style of deep black backgrounds and figures and flowers depicted at the fore, symbolizes complex emotions that arise from loss and with flowers being constant presences at such moments of grief, she also creates a beautified images of sadness. The sense of vulnerability comes from the apparent shapelessness of the space that surrounds the figures, submerged in nocturnal blackness. Figures are isolated and reflective of the fears and desires that may arise during the night time. Strong contrast between the background and the depicted figures induces the sense of melancholy where shades of skins and flower petals correspond and mimic each other, creating the strong connection between the fragility of flowers, and uncertain and fleeting human existence.
A British born Melbourne artist, Richard Denny, combines multiple materials in his work, from oil and pencil, painted and cut pieces of canvas or paper, to enamel and acrylic. He uses pieces of detailed regional maps and attaches them to different bases, such as paper, stretched linen, wood, or even old doors. He started using maps in his work after he discovered a box full of maps in France. Since then he was inspired by the possibilities a map can give in terms of visual expression. Rivers, seas and other represented regions are building blocks of Denny's faces and different characters he creates. His style closely resembles expressionist experimentation with forms and angular planes of color, but there is also a hint of naïve art in his pieces.
Working in layers, for the current show Seven Denny used seven layers on wood (of which some are stripped in parts) and produced a series of faces. In his statement, the artist suggests where his inspiration lies: "7 layers of skin, 7 years of plenty, 7 years of famine, 7 seas, 7 wonders, 7 liberal arts, 7 hills of Rome, 7 days, 7 dwarfs, 7 11, 7 up, 7 seals, 7 chances, 7 sorrows, 7 candles, 7 suns, 7 ages of man."
Born in Israel in 1964 Yosi Messiah immigrated to Australia where he now works and lives. His career as an artist spans over 17 years, with a start in jewelry design. He later decided to expand his creative profession and to include painting in his work as well. First working in abstract forms, Messiah moved on to include figures, which are today a dominant element in his painting. However, abstraction is not something he is not thinking about. As he says: "you never know, I may go back to abstract one day." His figurative work features animals and humans, but also imaginary figures. Linearity and bold use of colors construct dynamic pieces that in parts often resemble children's drawings.
In Wild Heart, the candor of Messiah's expression creates warmth and positive feelings that urge viewers to emotionally engage with his work. The story in his paintings is told through the combination of familiar and unfamiliar forms, where individuals he portrays often mix with visual elements taken from the wild side of metropolitan and suburban life.
The show of three artists will open at 19Karen on 26 November 2016 and will run until 14 January 2017, with opening night reserved from 6-8pm on the 26 November.

The reason behind the smoking addiction
Smoking is both a physical addiction and a psychological habit. Nicotine…is the main constituent of cigarette that is very addictive and lead to many changes and difficulties to the body. It stimulates different parts of the brain and produces a delight sensation in the central nervous system, and also increases adrenaline production, raises blood pressure and accelerates the heart rate, although that's not all, it influences the level of body temperature and some hormones. All these rapid changes generated by the smoking give a feeling of pleasure to the smokers, and it is the foremost reason that makes giving up of smoking very hard.
Natural ways to quit smoking cigarettesSome natural ways are available that help you to quit smoking by providing the similar results as the major pharmaceutical drugs, excluding the major side effects.
Herbal remedies
Herbal remedies can be very useful way to discover natural therapies to stop smoking. These remedies are frequently utilized to lessen the impact of withdrawal symptoms when you are giving up the smoking. These herbs provide a natural substitute to nicotine replacement treatments and none of these herbs contain nicotine. These herbs are only aimed to assist by decreasing your withdrawal symptoms, rather than moving your nicotine habit to another substance. Natural Herbal remedies assist you to stop smoking by producing a similar effect on the brain as nicotine produces, although they are safe and non-addictive for your body. Check out the following herbal remedies to stop smoking.
- Lobelia
- Lobelia acts as a relaxant and it produces similar effects on the central nervous system as nicotine produces.
- The alkaloids present in lobelia are similar to those in nicotine; it occupies brain receptor sites similar to nicotine and produces effects identical to nicotine without causing the damage that nicotine causes. Thus, it creates aversion and reduces cravings.
- It relieves withdrawal symptoms such as hunger, irritability, poor concentration.
- St. John's Wort
- This is another valuable herbal remedy to quit the smoking. St. John's Wort can be used to treat the depressive sensations which are common after the giving up of smoking. It is also found beneficial to reduce cravings.
- St. John's Wort is perennial herb having bright yellow flowers and its biological name is Hypericum perforatum.
- This herbal remedy is safe when taken alone. But when this herb is taken along with anti depressants, drugs for HIV infections and oral contraceptives, it decreases their efficacy. This herb cannot be used for children and pregnant women. People having bipolar disorder, kidney or liver disease are also recommended not to take this herb.
- Valerian
- The herbal remedy Valerian is used to manage withdrawal symptoms associated with sleep.
- Many people who had given up smoking find difficulties to get a good enough sleep of full night and they found themselves as exhausted in the next morning. Valerian helps them to relieve this sleep related withdrawal symptoms, which are produced by quitting of smoking.
- Ginger
- Ginger roots are useful as herbal remedy in digestion, and it eases the nausea that has been produced by nicotine withdrawal.
- It also helps to treat the anxiety related with the withdrawal of nicotine.
- As well, this natural herb produces perspiration that assists to discard toxins generated from smoking.
- Peppermint
- The leaves of Peppermint have been used since centuries due to its detoxification and relaxation powers.
- Peppermint acts as a stimulant and it assists the ex-smokers to feel more attentive.
- Passion Flower
- It promotes relaxation and calmness, and thus it assists to relieve the irritability related with the withdrawal of nicotine.
It is a fact that smokers cope with 2 levels of addiction, one is physical and the other is psychological. Psychological addiction makes it so hard to quit smoking naturally. Therefore, the key for overcoming through any unwanted addiction is to find out a way to manage those urges. Such types of solutions which can be used to overcome from the psychological aspect of smoking addiction are self hypnosis and acupuncture.
- Hypnotherapy
- This is a popular alternative which can assist you to quit smoking naturally by removing your cravings from where they start, 'your subconscious mind'.
- Hypnotizing the mind means changing the way of thoughts of your subconscious mind about some particular things. Hypnotherapy for nicotine addiction withdrawal works by changing the thoughts of your subconscious mind about cigarettes, without any restriction, without the deprivation and struggle that are related with most quit smoking methods, and often without exercise.
- But you should remember that hypnotherapy will not give effect if you don't believe in it. Hypnotherapy is useful only on those people who are ready to allow themselves be hypnotized. A good self hypnosis program will work for preparing your brain to dominate your conscious craving to smoke and to avoid returning desires for cigarettes.
- Acupuncture
- Acupuncture is a commonly used remedy in tangent with other smoking therapies to help people quit smoking, and it can assist the ex-smoker to sense healthier after they give up smoking. Just like other natural ways and herbal remedies to stop smoking, acupuncture should not be considered as a replacement for smoking.
- The needles used for acupuncture are generally hair-thin, and they are slotted in at the various points of ear where they remain for about twenty minutes. Many acupuncturists fix the tiny balls to the ear using the invisible tape, for assistance in meanwhile sessions. When a craving for smoke knocks, the smoker is instructed to dab smoothly on the ball that will stimulate the acupuncture point.
- This is one of the oldest known medical techniques, and it works by prompting the release of natural pain relievers 'endorphins' that let the body to relax. Acupuncture is just a useful remedy to manage the smoking withdrawal symptoms. Acupuncture can decrease cravings, so it may decrease possibilities of a relapse.
Eat a better healthy diet and get more exercise is one of the natural ways to quit smoking. The explanation behind this is that, as much healthier you will sense after you stop smoking naturally, the less likely you will be to initiate it again.
- Healthy diet
- Smoking collapses vitamin C, so it is significant to consume 5,000-20,000 mg. of vitamin C daily.
- Oats eliminate or lessen nicotine cravings; as well they lessen the number of cigarettes needed even in those people who are not attempting to stop.
- Vitamin E is an essential antioxidant required to repair cell damage caused by smoke.
- Vitamin A assists to repair the damaged mucus membranes, which is caused by smoking.
- Grape seed extract is deemed as useful to repair lung damage.
- Exercise
- Exercise is another great way to avoid the cravings for cigarette in the ex-smokers. Exercise is a healthy activity which keep ex-smokers' mind off of smoking.
- Developing muscles where fat has retained assists the metabolism of body because food becomes a new satisfaction target for the newly ex-smoker. Swimming, long walking, jumping rope and riding a bike, all are very useful.
You are also required to keep away from other habits when you are trying to quit smoking naturally.
- Cravings related to meals
- For several smokers, finishing a meal means lighting up the cigarette for smoking.
- To avoid it, replace that after meal with something different like a healthy dessert, a piece of fruit, a stick of gum, or a square of chocolate.
- Cravings related to drinks
- These habits include alcohol and coffee. If you have a habit of regular smoke while drinking, then you should avoid alcohol or coffee until you get success in your efforts to stop smoking naturally.
- If you have a habit of smoking with an alcoholic drink, then try non-alcoholic drinks, or try to drink only at the places where smoking is prohibited.
- Cravings related to social smoking
- When co-workers and friends smoke around you, it is even more difficult to avoid or stop relapse.
- To avoid this type of difficulty, aware your social circles about your decision of quitting & changing the habit. At your office, do not spend your every coffee break with smokers only, find non-smokers to spend your breaks with them, or do something else as an alternative.
- Keep your mind busy: Listen to some music you desired, read a magazine or book.
- Stay active: Maintain yourself occupied and distracted, go for long walks.
- Find an oral alternative: Try other things in your mouth while you feel a craving for cigarette. Good alternatives include hard candy, mints, gum, celery or carrot sticks, and sunflower seeds.
- Keep your fingers / hands busy: Paper clips, pencils, or squeeze balls are good alternatives to satisfy your need for tactile stimulation.
- Drink lots of water: Discarding of toxins from body reduces withdrawal symptoms and assists to diminish cravings faster.
- Social support: Regardless of your natural method which you have selected to quit smoking, you should always ensure that you have a social support and motivations from your loved ones while you are trying to quit smoking.

Half of Americans believe gay marriage should be legal, but nearly as many are opposed, the Gallup organization said Tuesday in releasing a new poll that it said underscores "just how divided the nation is on this issue."
Fifty percent of Americans think same-sex marriage should be legal and bestow the same rights as traditional marriage, compared to 48 percent who don't, according to the poll.
Support for gay marriage fell slightly in the new Gallup poll from a record high of 53 percent in 2011 – the first time a majority of Americans favored gay marriage -- while opposition rose from 45 percent.
Smaller same-sex marriage battleground this year than in 2004
The poll, conducted May 3-6 of a random sample of 1,024 adults, had a maximum margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, Gallup said.
"This year's results underscore just how divided the nation is on this issue. As a result, President Barack Obama's campaign strategy team obviously is continuing to grapple with how to handle it -- with the vice president on the one hand essentially endorsing legalized gay marriage, while the administration on the other hand stops just short of the same pronouncement," the poll said in a statement, referring to Vice President Joe Biden's comments on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he was "absolutely comfortable" with gay marriage.
Biden: I'm absolutely comfortable with gay marriage
The release of the poll came as North Carolina residents voted Tuesday on a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as being between a man and a woman and make marriage the only domestic legal union that would be valid in the state. Recent polls show the amendment passing. Thirty states already have constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage, while eight states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriage.
Comments from Vice President Joe Biden and Education Secretary Arne Duncan brought Obama's views about gay marriage back into national spotlight.NBC's Chuck Todd reports.
"We're having a great debate about marriage in this country, and it's not at all settled about which way we're going to go," said Thomas Peters, cultural director of the National Organization for Marriage, which supports the amendment. "Obviously … we believe that's going to be settled one way."
Gay-marriage advocates fear setback in North Carolina
In a NBC-Wall Street Journal poll released in March, Americans favored same-sex marriage by 49 percent to 40 percent. That marked a reversal from October 2009, when opponents trumped supporters by 49 percent to 41 percent. Both women and black voters -- constituents that are strongly in Obama's corner -- have moved in significant numbers to supporting gay marriage, that poll said.
Is Obama's gay marriage stance all about suburban voters?
Gallup noted that "Obama's core constituency of Democrats strongly supports the issue, as do the majority of the important election group of independents. The president has said his view on the issue is 'evolving,' so it is possible he will eventually go on record as supporting gay marriage, but for now, he officially remains opposed."
According to the NBC-Wall Street Journal poll, a key electoral group -- suburban voters -- narrowly favored gay marriage, 45 percent to 43 percent. Obama supported civil unions but opposed marriage for gay couples during the 2008 campaign.
In gay marriage vote, it's Bill Clinton vs. Billy Graham
Paul Guequierre, a spokesman for Human Rights Campaign, which works on equal rights for the LGBT community, said the Gallup numbers were promising and he wasn't sure that people were split as much as they once were.
"The news from Gallup today was very encouraging. It's great to see that the American people are moving towards a position of support for LGBT equality. We've seen the numbers move in our favor for a number of years now, and to see the number over 50 percent is always encouraging," Guequierre said. "It was just a few years ago, we were well below 50 percent, and we see the numbers moving in our direction."
NBC's Domenico Montanaro contributed to this report

I used to hate brussel sprouts. My mom is Sicilian and she made them the way she made most vegetables: steam them and then dowse them with olive oil and chopped garlic. Although this concoction sounds good in theory, the little green bulbs always had a bitter after-taste put me off. So much so that I vowed never to eat them again in my adult life.
Well, that stuck for awhile, then one night the boyfriend and I watched a "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" episode where a dive featured brussel sprouts on its menu. The recipe had bacon, lemon and sage which are some of my favorite things. So, I tried the recipe. It was a super delicious hit at my house. Even my boyfriend who hates vegetables said that he would eat more brussel sprouts if I made them yummy like that all the time. This sealed my love for the little green bulbs.
The other day, at the store, I found an organic stock of brussel sprouts which I though looked really cool. When I brought it home the boy friend questioned my sanity. However, I assured him that it would turn into something yummy. Tonight, I got a chance to pull it out of the fridge, pluck the little bulbs, clean off the ugly leaves, and then cut off the bottoms. I found a bag of pre-chopped sweet potatoes at the store, as well, and thought, perhaps, the two flavors would go well together. Looking through recipes online I found this one from Martha Stewart. It had the whole sweet/savory flavor palette to it. So, I figured something close to that would work. Here is recipe I came up with. It was hit! The mixture of sweet, salty and savory was scrumptious. The boyfriend officially loves vegetables.
Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Sweet Potato and Turkey Bacon
1 stalk or 1 bag of brussel sprouts, stems cut and halved
1 bag or 1 sweet potato, chopped and cubed
4-6 pieces of turkey back (I used 6 because they were really thin.)
*1 TBSP olive oil
*1 tsp sea salt
*1 tsp vegetable seasoning or 1 tsp poultry seasoning
*1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
*1/4 tsp paprika
*Oil and seasoning measurements are approximate. I am an intuitive cook. So, use more or less to your taste buds.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Lay pieces of bacon across a baking pan. Bake the bacon for 10-12 minutes. It should look crispy around the edges and leave a little bit of grease at the bottom of the pan. Pull the bacon out and chop it. Throw the brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes in the baking pan, then the chopped bacon. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and bacon, then toss. Add your seasonings to taste and toss the veggies one more time making sure that all pieces are seasoned. Put the pan in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Stir the vegetables every 15 minutes to get a nice, even browning. The brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes are done when they become fork tender.

Busy Day
It's been a hectic start to the week today. I'm always amazed at how varied the job is and the range of work that I can cover in just a day.
Youth Volunteering
I've finally managed to finish the final draft of the youth volunteering strategy for consultation with colleagues. It's taken some time as I've been reading up on all the various volunteering literature that's about in the system at the moment, and there's a lot! I'm keen to see how its taken on board and how we can look at implementing it across the Children and Young People's services.
There was the usual shuffling and responding of the mass of emails that always build up when out of the office for a few days. Personnel issues feature highly, along with various information bulletins which need reviewing and checked to see if there was anything I needed to react to or pass on to colleagues. The sheer amount of data coming in on these is hard to keep up with, especially with having such a broad range of subjects to check on.
Social Innovation Camp
Wow! This looks really exciting. I came across this from reading the Mediasnackers report and following the links. On the welcome page it defines itself as "What happens when you get a bunch of software developers and social innovators together, give them a set of social problems and only 48 hours to solve them?" The area that I'm really interested in is the Personal Development Reports submitted by Michael Amos-Simpson. (Mike set up and runs YoMo – a social enterprise that provides training and resources to support young people to contribute to their local communities. Their training is led by young people that have come through the training themselves and YoMo works all over the UK and Ireland, as well as supporting projects in Malawi.) His idea can be seen here at Personal Development Reports It's basically looking at how you can track a young persons 'journey' / soft skills development over time. I've submitted a few comments and I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens as this is an area we are looking to develop to help support our Recorded Outcomes.
Next I had a meeting with new colleagues in the Europe Office. We've been working hard to encourage and develop this area of our youthwork as for various reasons it's not as well developed as it could be. During the meeting it struck me once again how disjointed some of our work is throughout the local authority with very few people having a complete overview or understanding of how each part relates to the whole. So, it was good to touch base and I think that they were surprised by the number of initiatives we've already started under the EU Youth in Action Programme (run through Connect Youth in the UK). We're also hoping to set up some projects under the Interreg IV programme. I'll talk more about these as they progress.
So all in all a busy day…..and more to come tomorrow!

Research Output per year
Soil fertility decline and erratic rainfall are major constraints to crop productivity on smallholder farms in southern Africa. Crop production intensification along with efficient use of chemical fertiliser is required to produce more food per unit area of land, while rebuilding soil fertility. The objective of this thesis was to identify appropriate crop production intensification options that are suitable to the socio-economic and biophysical conditions of selected smallholder maize-based farming systems in southern Africa. Three sites that formed a gradient of intensity of crop and livestock production were selected for the study. Murehwa in Zimbabwe is characterised by the largest intensity followed by Ruaca and lastly Vunduzi both in central Mozambique. In all three sites, maize is a key staple and cash crop. A literature review, field methods based on participatory research, and modelling tools were combined in analysing potential crop production options across an agricultural intensification gradient. A meta-analysis on maize grain yield under rain-fed conditions revealed that conservation agriculture required legume rotations and high nitrogen input use especially in the early years. Reduced tillage without mulch cover leads to lower yields than with conventional agriculture in low rainfall environments. Mulch cover in high rainfall areas leads to smaller yields than conventional tillage due to waterlogging, and improved yields under CA are likely on well drained soils. Crop productivity under conservation agriculture depends on the ability of farmers to achieve correct fertiliser application, timely weeding, and the availability of crop residues for mulching and systematic crop rotations which are currently lacking in southern Africa. An additive design of within-row intercropping was compared to a substitutive design with distinct alternating rows of maize and legume (local practice) under no-till in the Ruaca and Vunduzi communities of central Mozambique. Intercropping increased productivity compared to the corresponding sole crops with land equivalent ratios (LER) of between 1.0 and 2.4. Maize yield loss was only 6-8% in within-row intercropping...

Wet Hair have announced a new full-length to be released by Chicago's De Stijl records. In Vogue Spirit sees the duo expanding their sound, as well as their line up. Now, with bass player in tow, the trio really hones into a similar territory Suicide took during the 80's.
"Echo Lady", the LP's single, is a propulsive tune that shares resemblance to quite a few kraut rock groups. The song structure has been streamlined towards a more general pop sensibility, while the fidelity the same. While the video seems to be set in some psychedelic desert paradise. The album will be released May 6th and might even good beer drinking music come summer now that I think of it.
Wet Hair will be on tour you can check him at the dates below.
While above you'll find a fantastic video by Michael Yonkers for the track "Cold Dance." There is no part of this video I do not love. It mixes a serious cold wave track that I wouldn't be surprised to be done by more contemporary acts such as S.S.P.S or anything happening over at Weird records. I'd also like to point out that I probably look a lot like this dancing to this track myself. So does that mean I'm biased towards liking this then?

Category 3 Water Damage in Jackson Mi
Damage from fires, floods, and other incidents don't have to mean your home is beyond repair. Turn to fire, water, and other restoration professionals to preserve your house and weather the storm with minimum loss and maximum peace of mind. Your house is your biggest investment, but it's very often so much more than just an inhabitable savings account. It's also your home, the place were lives are lived and memories are made. Which is why when disaster strikes, the devastation can be doubly costly. Natural disaster, roof leaks, burst pipes: no matter how the water entered your home, when you're dealing with a flood, you've got a real mess on your hands. It might be easy to just throw your hands up and call your property a total loss, especially with both fire and water damage, but instead of giving up on your home, bring in a professional flood restoration company.
You'll be amazed at what these experts can do to evacuate standing water, dry out absorbed moisture, and stop the damage in its tracks. When you have a fire in your home, you typically end up with the double trouble of both damage from the fire itself and damage from the water used to extinguish the flames. However, even these dual concerns don't always mean the space isn't salvageable. Modern technology offers a full range of fire restoration techniques including structural drying, smoke and soot removal, and odor elimination. Fire/water restoration companies in your local area have the necessary tools and training to tackle these problems and help you minimize losses. For major home disasters such as extensive flooding or serious fires, you might want to ask around until you find a disaster restoration company that is also a general contractor. That way, if/when your project requires rebuilding walls, reinstalling flooring, and other major changes, you won't have to deal with juggling multiple service providers. Working with a general building contractor from the get-go who also specializes in fire and flood restoration can help make your life just a little easier during this stressful time.
Basement Flood in Jackson Mi
In, to fight emergency water damage, a professional might use a hydrosensor and moisture counters. The moisture counters can measure the amount of moisture that has gotten into brick, wood, plastics, and other materials like drywall without causing any damage to them. What is really great in an emergency situation is that they can be used throughout the water damage repairs to make sure that the amount of moisture is in fact going down with treatment. The hydrosensor is used to track the path that water travels on underneath carpeting. Even if the top of the carpet feels dry to the touch, these tools can find the water and trace its path.
Air scrubbers do exactly what it sounds like they do: They clean the air after water damage. They are used to eliminate the dangerous mold spores and other tiny contaminants in the air that can exacerbate asthma, allergies, and other respiratory maladies. Improving air quality back to the level of good old quality is important in emergency water damage restoration. The air scrubbers also eliminate odors that are in the air.
Contractors also might use a hygrometer to restore your home after water damage. The hygrometer measures the temperature and the relative humidity conditions in your home. professionals may decide to keep a hygrometer running for the entire length of the emergency repairs. Some hygrometers can record and store information for several running days, logging the readings that it takes, ensuring that progress is in fact being made.
In, when you need emergency water damage restoration, you need it fast. It is a race against time when it comes to water, and water damage professionals can come to conquer with a whole slew of weapons to help restore and preserve your home.

To John Adams from James Lovell, 1 December 1777
From James Lovell
Decr. 1st: []
Dear Sir
As I was at the Secretaries yesterday I took off a few Resolutions from the Journals for your view, supposing as to the above,1 that you might have forgotten them, and as to the following, wishing to have your Sentiments. I doubt not you will think it may or may not be proper to take from the minds of foreign Courts the Idea that we are absolutely determind about our conduct towards Great Britain in regard to Treaties; therefore the Guard which you see in the Resolves about the time of communicating the different Resolves, which the Commissioners only ought to determine.
Being one of the Committee with F L Lee and Duer to conduct the Resolve of Novr. 29th respecting Canada2 I wish your Sentiments, promising to you that I am altogether averse from strong sollicitations to that People to become immediately active. They will fall to us of Course. I wish to have them acquainted with the nature of our union. But I would not wish to be bound to carry an Expedition into their Country till their Friendship was certain and quite General: But, I stand ready for conviction upon hearing Arguments for it founded in evident Policy.
It could not be brought about that a Commission [. . .] be sent you by this Post, which perhaps you may be led to expect by Letters delivered to the Express two days ago: But a second messenger will be sent with it and all the proper papers.
Genl. Howe will not exchange prisoners till those murthered at New York are paid for with fresh and good Soldiers.3 He is ready to exchange Officers to be on parole. He wants Burgoyn's Embarkation to be from Rhode Island: but Genl. Washington thinks a whole Season would be gained to the Enemy by that; and wishes a refusal. It will be hard for Massachusetts to have so many additional mouths to feed; but there are good Arguments for denying Howe's Proposition.4
Resolved that a Committee of 3 be appointed to procure a translation to be made of the articles of Confederation into the french Languge; and to report an address to the Inhabitants of Canada inviting them to accede to the union of these States; that the said Committee be further directed to report a plan for facilitating the distribution of the said Articles and Address, and for conciliating the Affections of the Canadians towards these United States.5
Decr. 1st: 10 o'Clock a.m.
Dear Sir
We have nothing of much Importance this morning. Fayettee being with Genl. Greene in the Jersies fell upon a Pickett of the Enemy killed 20 took 20 and wounded many without loss. He is delighted with the Militia; and Genl. Greene says the Marquis seems determined to court Danger. I wish more were so determined.6 Some of the Enemy's Ships have passed up to the City.
We yet hear Nothing from Spencer; but we resolved on the 28th. That Enquiry should be made into the Causes of the Evacuation of Fort Mercer7 and the Conduct of the principal Officers commanding there—also an immediate Enquiry into the Causes of the Failure at Rhode Island8 and the Conduct of the principal Officers commanding there—also into the loss of Forts Montgomery and Clinton and Fort Mifflin on the Delaware9—and into all losses in future of Forts posts and Shipping.
These Resolves will be printed at large. I give you only the Skeleton, for any use within your discretion. I am dear Sir your most humb Servt.
James Lovell
RC (Adams Papers); docketed: "Mr Lovells Letter to me Dec. 1. 1777 Sundry Resns. respecting the Comrs. of Septr. 28. 1776 and Novr. 29. 1777"; in CFA's hand: "Mr. Lovell. Decr. 1st. 1777." A small hole in the MS has obliterated parts of several words.
1. Lovell began his letter on the same sheet and below the transcription of the congressional resolution of 28 Sept. 1776, which provided for the payment of salaries and expenses for the Commissioners so that they could live in a style suitable to their dignity (JCC description begins Worthington C. Ford and others, eds., Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774–1789, Washington, 1904–1937; 34 vols. description ends , 5:833–834).
2. See note 5 (below).
3. The allusion here remains obscure. This may be a reference to the killing of German soldiers at the Battle of Bennington because their wish to surrender was not understood; but none of the letters exchanged between Washington and Howe on the subject of prisoner exchange makes reference to murdered men (Ward, War of the Revolution description begins Christopher Ward, The War of the Revolution, New York, 1952; 2 vols. description ends , 1:430).
4. Here follow four resolutions regarding reconciliation with Britain, which were passed on 22 Nov. See James Lovell to JA, 22 Nov., note 2 (above).
5. JCC description begins Worthington C. Ford and others, eds., Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774–1789, Washington, 1904–1937; 34 vols. description ends , 9:981.
6. Lovell's account of Lafayette's energetic assault on the British pickets is taken from Washington's letter to the congress of 27 Nov., which quoted Gen. Greene's assessment of the Marquis (Writings, ed. Fitzpatrick description begins The Writings of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources, 1745–1799, ed. John C. Fitzpatrick, Washington, 1931–1944; 39 vols. description ends , 10:109–110). For additional details see Henry Laurens to JA, 3 Dec. (below).
7. Fort Mercer was abandoned on the night of 20–21 Nov. (Freeman, Washington description begins Douglas Southall Freeman, George Washington: A Biography, New York, 1948–1952; 6 vols. Vol. 7, by John Alexander Carroll and Mary Wells Ashworth, New York, 1957. description ends , 4:551–552).
8. As early as the spring of 1777 the congress had suggested an expedition against the British at Newport and urged Massachusetts and Connecticut to contribute troops. Yet it was October before Gen. Spencer had assembled nine or ten thousand troops and the necessary boats to ferry them from the mainland to the island on which Newport is located. Then bad winds so delayed embarkation that the expedition was called off. Many of the militiamen blamed Spencer for indecisive leadership (JA to James Bowdoin, 16 April and notes there, above; Benjamin Cowell, The Spirit of '76 in Rhode Island . . ., Boston, 1850, p. 144–146; Samuel Greene Arnold, History of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, 2 vols., N.Y., 1858 and 1860, 2:406–408).
9. On the capture of Forts Montgomery and Clinton, see James Warren to JA, 12 Oct., note 6 (above). Fort Mifflin was evacuated during the night of 15–16 Nov. (Freeman, Washington description begins Douglas Southall Freeman, George Washington: A Biography, New York, 1948–1952; 6 vols. Vol. 7, by John Alexander Carroll and Mary Wells Ashworth, New York, 1957. description ends , 4:551).

Awhile back I told you about the star-studded opening of the Byron and Tracey Salon in Beverly Hills, where celebs like Nicole Richie, Drew Barrymore, and Cameron Diaz go to get red carpet ready. Salon owners Byron Williams and Tracey Cunningham recently hosted a two-day Kick-Off to Summer Party, and a ton of stars showed up for highlights, manis/pedis, blow-outs and Cover Girl makeovers. I managed to get Bryon on the phone for a few minutes during the festivities and he told me his secret product cocktail for getting the ultimate beach-y waves:
1. While your hair is still damp, mist your roots with a texturizing/volumizing spray, like Byron's favorite, Shu Uemura Liquid Fabric Mineral Texture Spray.
2. Let your hair dry naturally or use a blow dryer. If your strands are naturally straight, twirl sections of hair around your finger to form waves. This is also a great way to shape frizzy curls.
3. Once hair is dry, mist the bottom few inches with a lightweight shine spray. Byron uses Illuminating Mist from his own line, BYRON.
4. Shake out your hair so it looks full and sexy.
Here are some pics of the celebs who stopped by the party:
Gabrielle Union and Michelle Trachtenberg scored a bunch of Express tank tops and maxi dresses at the event:
Ali Larter stopped by for highlights with salon owner and top colorist, Tracey Cunningham:
Rosario Dawson was treated to a Cover Girl makeover and manicure:
Eliza Dushku sipped on an Alizé champagne cocktail while she got a blow-out:

Wedding costs, like college costs, are best saved for well in advance – like in utero, if possible. Not many can plunk down over $23,000 – the average cost of a Milwaukee County wedding – all at once, or even over the course of a few months. But, sayeth local experts, setting aside funds in advance can greatly ease the stomach-churning burden of paying for the big I Do.
Saving early allows for smaller monthly contributions, and having deposits taken directly from paychecks ensures that funds will actually be set aside, says Amanda Schlagenhauf, owner of The Bride Consultant in Milwaukee. You know, in case something more appealing than table linens happens to pique your wallet's interest.
And Schlagenhauf means early. "It definitely doesn't hurt to start saving even before the actual engagement," she says. Set up the Big Day Fund in a single, joint checking account, says Terry Powers, an event planner with Golden Chic Events + Consulting. "This will help prevent racking up gigantic credit card debt and allow [the betrothed] to get some practice sharing a bank account," Powers says. Having that available cash will make it easier to cover upfront payments required by vendors, and she suggests couples seek discounts from vendors, who often offer reduced rates for referrals or cash payments.
Expected guest count and the couple's vision for the wedding are the main factors in determining a wedding budget, says Schlagenhauf. A budget for a DIY wedding with 100 guests will look awfully different compared with one for a 500-person, black-tie affair. No matter the size, says Janice Rosenthal, owner of Party Productions in Milwaukee, determining how much Mom and Dad can kick in, if anything, is a conversation to have in the first stages of planning. ◆

By submitting this form, I give OurChurch.Com permission to send me communication by email.
Do you want to take your church, school, ministry or business to the next level in 2018?
Do you want to impact more lives? Become more effective at the things you're already doing? Start something new?
The first step towards making 2018 a successful year is to set goals.
I know this is tough. It's already January 11. You're probably super-busy catching up from the holidays on top of all of your usual responsibilities. Who has time to set goals now?
But it's critically important to carve out time for goal-setting because if you don't know where you're going, you're never going to get there.

Check it out by clicking the "More" menu on the left and selecting "Website Stats."
2) Top Websites Challenge – Last week we launched the Top Websites Challenge, a monthly competition to encourage and reward you (with up to $50 in gift cards) for doing things that help you organization live out its mission online. Since then we've made some improvements – including all OCC sites (not just WP-EZ) and giving points every day you access MyOCC and the WP-EZ Dashboard even if you stay logged in.
3) Upgrade to WP-EZ 2.0 – Switch to our new website builder, WP-EZ 2.0, and you get a brand new, modern, mobile-friendly website. WP-EZ 2.0 comes with modern themes, beautiful pre-installed pages, and an easy-to-use drag-and-drop page builder.

5) Reach Your Community with Better Search Rankings – It's no secret just about everyone starts their search for whatever they're looking for in a search engine, whether they're looking for a church, school, ministry, product or service. If you want to reach more people, one of the best ways to do that is to improve your search rankings. We have the church SEO and Christian SEO services that will do that for you. SEO is a great investment which will more than pay for itself.
6) Survey – We're committed to helping you reach your goals in 2018. The better we understand your goals and the obstacles you have to overcome to reach those goals, the better we can help you. Take 10 minutes to share your insight with us in the January Webmaster Survey.

As you can see, we've got a lot going on. But don't be overwhelmed. Pray and seek God's guidance for your 2018 goals. He will reveal which of these is for you, so you can focus on your goals and ignore the rest. But start by setting goals.
People with goals succeed because they know where they're going. -Earl Nightingale

The Chateau des Fleurs dream was conceived long before it became a reality. As early as 2000, when its sister building, the Camille Beckman Factory, was erected, we envisioned additional spaces such as restaurants, an art gallery, space for afternoon teas, public gardens rife with wildflowers and careening honeybees, as well as a universal prayer space where all faiths will be welcomed.
Today, the next piece of this dream has coalesced into one of the most heartfelt and elegant venues in the country. With feminine architecture reminiscent of old world Europe, pristine marble floors, handmade molded oak doors with austere glass paneling, tall ceilings and plenty of windows to allow in pure, natural light, the Chateau brings to life elements of such architectural leviathans as the Palace of Versailles in France & Rosemary Verey's Gardens in England. The public gardens are terraced with wide sweeping lawns dotted daintily with clover flowers and meadowfoam blossoms, a picturesque place to walk hand-in-hand with loved ones or to sit in stillness, breathing in the fresh air coasting in from the Boise River rushing by a mere hundred yards away.
As you enter the building, you are greeted by the sight of breathtakingly ornate crystal chandeliers, polished and twinkling in the airy, sweeping expanse of the grand hall. Here you will find yourself relaxing into the peace and quiet beauty of this space, lulled by the greatest living collection of art by master Mark Lajos of Hungary, whose work also adorned the Danube Palace over 100 years ago. Directly off the grand hall awaits the signature dining experience of Roghani's Restaurant, where a vibrant, art-infused environment hosts authentic, mouth-watering international cuisine, wine pairings provided by our family's vineyards right here in Idaho, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits grown and harvested from our on-site vegetable garden and orchard.
The journey has been a long one, both infinitely rewarding and, at times, full of challenge. Yet we are blessed by the opportunity to share art and beauty with others, creating a generational backdrop perfect for all of life's momentous occasions. It is our dream that memories be made and shared here, with a grandfather one day walking his granddaughter down the same aisle he once walked upon to meet his bride. This is a place to gather where peaceful discussion can take place on difficult or controversial topics and learning can ensue. A space for fundraisers, business meetings, workshops and tea with friends; the Chateau des Fleurs is a divine space that brings us together with love and grace.

Day 1 - Arrive in Cairo
We arrive in Cairo and transfer to our hotel. In the evening, we meet up with our group to enjoy our first dinner together.
|Meals included
Day 2 - Cairo
After an introductory lecture, we begin at Memphis, the first capital of a united Egypt, and Sakkara, its necropolis. At Sakkara, we visit the museum and tour the Step Pyramid complex of Djoser, which pre-dates the Giza pyramids and is the world's first monumental building constructed entirely from stone. We also tour the smaller Pyramid of Teti, build for a Sixth Dynasty King, whose burial chamber is covered with texts to ensure the survival of his soul.
|Meals included
|All meals included
Day 3 - Cairo
Today, we move forward in time for a visit to the only surviving monument of the Seven Wonders of the ancient World: the Great Pyramid of Giza. There's an opportunity to explore the site and to visit the Solar Boat Museum, where the reconstructed remains of the Solar Boat of Cheops are displayed.
|Meals included
|Breakfast, Lunch
Day 4 - Cairo
We visit the Citadel, the medieval Islamic stronghold of Salah el-Din, before devoting half a day to Cairo's Egyptian Museum. This is home of the world's largest collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts, including the mummy room and various items from Tutankhamun's tomb. Time permitting, we can stop to explore the atmospheric Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, the city's historic souk whose warren of cobblestone lanes and alleys lined with colorful shops and stalls offer a lively Cairo experience and architecture.
|Meals included
|Breakfast, Lunch
Day 5 - Cairo
As we travel today from Cairo to neighboring Dahshur and Abusir, we continue to trace the story of the development of the pyramids following their initial design at Sakkara. At Dahshur's royal necropolis, the 4th Dynasty King Snefru completed the problematic Bent Pyramid, later perfecting this architectural form with the larger Red Pyramid. We have also received a special permit for an afternoon visit to the site of Abusir, the primary burial ground where the 5th Dynasty Pharaohs built their pyramids.
|Meals included
|Breakfast, Lunch
Day 6 - Cairo - Luxor
This morning, we fly 300 miles along the Nile to Luxor, known in ancient times as Thebes. Our hotel was selected for its beautiful gardens, upon the steps of which Howard Carter announced the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. Modern Luxor has grown up around the ruins of these great complexes. Our exploration begins at Karnak's 'City of Temples', probably the ancient world's largest remaining religious site, with structures that date back 4,000 years. We focus on the story and spectacle of the immense sanctuary of the sun-deity Amun-Re. Reached via the famous Avenue of Sphinxes, lined with carved human-headed beasts, this is a dazzling maze of gateways, obelisks, pillared halls, and subsidiary shrines. After, we visit the Luxor Museum.

Day 7 - Luxor
Today, we cross the Nile in order to visit the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings and Queens. The necropolis area on the west bank was reserved for royal burials from around 2100 BCE, but it was the Pharaohs of the later 'New Kingdom' period who chose this once-remote desert valley site for their grand rock-cut tombs. While over 60 tombs were discovered in the Valley of the Kings, only a select few are open to the public. Lucky for us, we are allowed to enter a selection of tombs — the Tomb of Seti I in particular. We then travel to the Valley of the Queens, which contains 75 tombs that belonged to the queens of the 19th and 20th dynasties.
|Meals included
|Breakfast, Lunch
Day 8 - Luxor
We return to the west bank of the Nile to see the Tombs of the Nobles — a site of over 400 tombs that have been carved into a rocky hillside. These tombs are scattered across an area of two square miles and, while they are not as frequently visited as their more famous neighbors, their naturalistic murals give detailed insights into daily Egyptian life during the 6th dynasty. We also stop by the well-preserved archaeological site of the ancient Deir el-Medina, once the village-home of the artisans who built and decorated the royal tombs of Thebes. Later, we have a fascinating tour at the Oriental Institute's Chicago House to learn about the Institute's Epigraphic Survey which has, since 1924, been dedicated to producing photographs and precise line drawings of the inscriptions and relief scenes of Luxor's major temples and tombs.

Day 9 - Luxor
This morning, we drive north to Dendera through a landscape of villages of baked-mud houses and the lush cultivated banks of the Nile. Dendera is home to an important temple complex whose main feature is the remarkably well-preserved Temple of Hathor. Although the present temple was built largely in the 1st century BCE, it occupies the site of a far older building. On the still-intact ceiling is a circular plaster cast of the beautiful Zodiac of Dendera, displaying the hours of the day and night, as well as the trajectory of the sun, moon, and the stars across the sky. We return to Luxor.
|Meals included
|Breakfast, Lunch
Day 10 - Luxor
We return to Luxor's west bank and visit the Colossi of Memnon - two gigantic sandstone statues of Amenhotep III dating from the 14th century BCE. Next, we explore the nearby temple complexes at Medinet-Habu, which is dominated by the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III. We then visit the Ramesseum funerary temple and the Temple of Qasr-Aguz. From here, we return to Luxor for lunch aboard our Nile Cruiser - our floating hotel for the next four nights. Later, we visit the Temple of Luxor. Constructed over 3,000 years ago, the temple, along with its many statues and relief carvings has been left with its structure preserved and intact.

Day 11 - Edfu
Our first morning on the Nile is spent at leisure in Luxor, either relaxing on board by the pool, enjoying independent sightseeing, shopping in the local souk, or perhaps sailing on a traditional felucca. We enjoy lunch on board before setting sail on the first leg of our cruise upstream to Edfu - our dock for the night.
|Meals included
|All meals included
Day 12 - Edfu - Aswan
We begin at the Temple of Edfu, a Ptolemaic temple dedicated to Horus, the avenging falcon god. Built between 237 and 57 BCE, this is one of Egypt's best-preserved ancient monuments. Back on board, we have several hours to enjoy our vessel's sundeck and pool, as well as the ever-changing panorama of everyday life along the Nile. Later in the afternoon, we visit the partially-restored remains of Kom Ombo's Ptolemaic temple. Dedicated equally to two competing gods, Horus the Elder and the crocodile god Sobek, it even has separate areas for each. We then return to our Nile Cruiser and sail on to Aswan.
|Meals included
|All meals included
Day 13 - Aswan
Our touring begins at the Quarries, where an unfinished obelisk remains embedded in its native stone. Our next visit is to the Temple of Philae. This Ptolemaic temple, being the last bastion of paganism in the Byzantine Empire, was dedicated to Isis and is an incredible complex of chapels and shrines.
|Meals included
|All meals included
Day 14 - Aswan
After disembarking this morning to transfer to our hotel, we visit the grand Kalabsha Temple, first built in the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus on the site of a sanctuary founded by Amenhotep II. Originally dedicated to the Nubian sun god Mandulis, it later became a church. After the construction of the High Dam it was moved to Lake Nasser from its former location 30 miles to the south. Also relocated here, were the delicate Graeco-Roman kiosk of Qertassi and the shrine of Ramesses II from Beit el-Wali. There's an opportunity to admire the archaeological finds in the Nubian Museum before we conclude our day with a farewell group dinner.
|Meals included
|Breakfast, Dinner
Day 15 - Aswan - Cairo
Our tour ends on a high note with a visit to the world-renowned Nubian site of the temples at Abu Simbel, 140 miles south-west of Aswan. Miraculously rescued from Lake Nasser's rising waters after the creation of the High Dam and rebuilt on the western bank, the two massive rock temples of Ramesses II and his favorite queen, Nefertari, were originally carved into the mountainside in 1244 BCE to honor the deified royal pair and to awe the Nubians. The colossal statues of Ramesses at the entrance still inspire a sense of awe today just as they did over 3,000 years ago. An afternoon flight brings us back to Cairo for our overnight stay.

Day 16 - Depart Cairo
We transfer to Cairo airport for our flights home or onward travel.

How to Go Beyond the Maximum Volume of a Laptopby Benjamin Aries
The speakers found in many laptop computers are small and lightweight, and therefore have limited volume capability. However, if the sound from your laptop is too quiet even when the volume level is set to maximum, you can use Windows to boost the audio. A feature called Loudness Equalization increases the laptop's volume digitally, so you can make the most of your laptop speakers.
Step 1
Click on the speaker icon, which is located in the Windows system tray on the bottom right corner of the screen. An audio mixer appears.
Step 2
Click the large speaker icon on the top of the audio mixer. The speaker properties window displays.
Step 3
Choose the "Levels" tab, and then verify that the speaker volume is at the maximum level. If the speakers are not at full volume, slide the "Speakers" adjustment to the right to raise the audio volume.
Choose the "Enhancements" tab, check the box marked "Loudness Equalization," and then click "Apply."
- If your laptop audio is still too quiet after you apply Loudness Equalization, consider using headphones or an external set of speakers. These can greatly increase the volume from your computer.

Mattresses: Burning behaviour – Full scale test (NT FIRE 055)
This method is intended to evaluate the contribution to fire growth and smoke production under well ventilated conditions provided by a mattress, bed system etc. when subjected to a specified ignition source. Data describing the burning behaviour from ignition until all burning has ceased is obtained.
The heat release rate of the burning specimen is measured by an oxygen consumption technique. The hazard of reduced visibility is estimated by measuring the production of light obscuring smoke. The burning behaviour is visually documented by photographic and/or video recordings.
The amount of certain toxic gas species in the combustion gases can be optionally analyzed.

Tagrisso (osimertinib) is an EGFR-TKI, a targeted cancer therapy, designed to inhibit both the activating, sensitizing mutations (EGFRm), and T790M, a genetic mutation responsible to EGFR-TKI treatment resistance.
Tagrisso is specifically indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer, as detected by an FDA-approved test, who have progressed on or after EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy.
Tagrisso is supplied as a tablet for oral administration. The recommended dose is 80 mg tablet once a day until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tagrisso can be taken with or without food. If a dose is missed, do not make up the missed dose and take the next dose as scheduled.
FDA Approval
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials. Tagrisso is being studied in the confirmatory trial, AURA3, an open label, randomized Phase III study designed to assess the efficacy and safety versus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy in patients with EGFR T790M positive, locally advanced, or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed following prior therapy with an EGFR-TKI.
The FDA approval of Tagrisso was based on data from two phase II studies (AURA extension and AURA2) which demonstrated efficacy in 411 EGFRm T790M NSCLC patients that had progressed on or after an EGFR TKI. In those trials, overall objective response rate (ORR) was 59%. In a separate part of the AURA Study in 63 patients, ORR was 51% and median duration of response was 12.4 months.
Adverse effects associated with the use of Tagrisso may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Tagrisso (osimertinib) is kinase inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which binds irreversibly to certain mutant forms of EGFR (T790M, L858R, and exon 19 deletion) at approximately 9-fold lower concentrations than wild-type.
For additional information regarding Tagrisso or EGFR T790M mutation positive non-small cell lung cancer, please visit https://www.tagrisso.com/
