There are many different reasons why you should seriously consider freelancing and while many focus on the financial gains, there are other facts that you have to take into account. This is a great example.
You want to freelance to build your skills!
One of the most important reasons why you should start work as a freelancer even if you do have a job is that you will increase your experience at a faster rate. This means that your abilities will be increased and you will gain confidence.
Many focus on making as much money as possible and they do not understand the fact that they do not actually need to work more. They need to work smarter and better. Because of this, you do not have to take many clients. You need to stay focused on offering the highest possible quality.
The best example to sustain the idea of freelancing to build skills is the writer. When you are a writer, you need to regularly practice. It does not matter if you write for someone else or you write for yourself. You need to keep writing and improving. This is true for web designers, web developers, life coaches and thousands of other professions.
Take a look at the most respectable people in the industry in which you operate. You will quickly figure out the fact that they worked a lot. This is what you can so easily do when you practice as a freelancer.
Besides the fact that you get to improve your skills when you freelance, you also manage to increase your portfolio. The larger the portfolio, the easier it is to showcase the best work that you can do. As time passes, you will figure out that the latest projects you did are the best ones. This is because you improve as you work more.
Try to start practicing as soon as you possibly can. Even if you do not freelance yet, still practice on a personal blog or on personal projects to build a portfolio. Obviously, freelancing is recommended because you manage to also make some extra money while you improve and you become better at what you do. However, the focus should be on career development.

Hi Crucea, Thanks for the post. The post was very small but with some strong points to grasp.
I started my journey as an SEO professional and right now I am acting as a blogger. I'm finding most of my SEO leads through my writing. Writing always helps learn new things. It helps in developing skills and idea how to interact with other people. I think it is not a matter what is your main expertise, but regular writing will take you into the next level. It is true for freelancers, entrepreneurs or even for any other professionals.↓

This is a great documentary about Geoff Bardon, who was the catalyst that ignited the Western Australian Aboriginal art movement at Papunya Tula. I'm just about finished with my Napangati essay and this is a great thing to behold.
Most studies of indigenous Australian art and philosophy are in a Deleuzian mode, and in general Deleuze has had a very tenacious hold in Australia. It'll be interesting to see what people make of my OOO approach.

Colombia 1000-PESOS (KM299) Loggerhead Sea Turtle
The Loggerhead Sea Turtle (aka Caretta caretta) is named for its very large head. Loggerheads live in tropical waters all over the world. They nest every 2-3 years, and unlike other sea turtles who like to do it on the beach, the loggerheads date and mate while riding the ocean currents.
The Loggerhead is one of four sea turtle species (out of seven in total) that are found on the central Caribbean coast of Colombia.
- Diameter: 26.7 mm
- Composition: Copper-Nickel-Zinc in Aluminum-bronze ring

|Looking north at Celo Knob along the gorgeous but hard-to-reach Black Mountain Crest Trail.
The hike along that ridgeline is sometimes known as the "death march," because of the punishing ups and downs. It is even harder starting from the other end, because there is no road up Celo Knob and you must start by climbing 3,000 feet.
Three years ago, I hiked to the four peaks immediately north of Mount Mitchell, which was an exhausting but spectacular six-mile round trip. This time (Saturday, Sept. 3, 2016—the day after Hurricane Hermine passed), I started on the other end and made the big climb to Celo Knob and its neighbor, Gibbs Mountain. This was a 10.5-mile round trip that took me eight hours. It was the longest hike I've done in a couple of years, and it was worth it to see Mount Mitchell from the other side.
I've had my eyes on Celo and Gibbs ever since I became interested in South Beyond 6,000 (SB6K), a program sponsored by the Carolina Mountain Club that challenges hikers to reach 40 Southeastern peaks over 6,000 feet. By bagging Celo and Gibbs, I have climbed 24 of the 40. In the Black Mountains, the only one I still lack is Winter Star, which will require either the death march or another 3,000-foot climb.
|Like climbing this—4 times.
Celo (rhymes with Guyot) gets is name from seeloo, the Cherokee word for corn. At 6,327 feet, Celo Knob is the 13th highest mountain in the eastern United States--39 feet higher than New Hampshire's Mount Washington and 327 feet shorter than Mount Mitchell.
Celo was the first peak climbed by Dr. Elisha Mitchell during his 1835 exploration of the Black Mountains that led him to declare these mountains as the highest in the United States.
What's it like to climb 3,000 feet? Imagine four trips up and down the staircases of the tallest building in Charlotte, the 60-story Bank of America tower (which is occasionally visible from Celo Knob, 90 miles away).
If you are interested in following in my footsteps up Celo Knob, you can find details of my hike on my Peakbagger page. And even if you don't feel up to the climb, you can now "walk" the trail on video, thanks to Google Trekker.
Here are some glimpses:

|An interesting old tree along the Crest Trail.

* FTSEurofirst 300 slips, but Greek shares rise
* Athens market up on new Greek govt reforms
* Fiat falls on emission concerns
* Bayer down after making Monsanto offer (ADVISORY- Reuters plans to replace intra-day European and UK stock market reports with a Live Markets blog on Eikon (see cpurl://apps.cp./cms/?pageId=livemarkets for site in development). Adds details, share prices)
By Sudip Kar-Gupta
LONDON, May 23 (Reuters) - The Greek bourse outperformed weaker European stock markets on Monday, after Athens agreed a series of reforms that should pave the way for an agreement on bailout loans and debt relief talks.
The broader, pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index was down 0.6 percent, while the pan-European STOXX 600 index also fell 0.5 percent, impacted by drops in Fiat Chrysler and Bayer.
However, Athens' benchmark ATG equity index climbed 1.2 percent.
The Athens stock market rose after Greek lawmakers approved tax increases and a new privatisation fund on Sunday and freed up the sale of non-performing loans in exchange for much-needed bailout loans and debt relief.
The move also led to Greek government borrowing costs dropping to a six-month low on Monday.
"The unlocking of more emergency loans for Greece has given some reassurance to investors concerning the country," said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at TF Global Markets UK Ltd.
Fiat Chrysler fell 3.7 percent after German newspaper Bild am Sonntag said the carmaker could be prohibited from selling cars in Germany if evidence of continued disregard of emissions rules is found.
A Fiat Chrysler spokesman declined to comment on the report but said all the carmaker's vehicles are compliant with existing emissions regulations.
Bayer also dropped 3.2 percent after the German drugs and chemicals group made an offer to buy U.S. seeds company Monsanto for $62 billion in a deal that would be financed in debt and equity.
"The very large equity portion of the deal is likely sustaining the negative investor sentiment. Further, we expect Monsanto to reject the offer initially as such protracting the uncertainty around Bayer shares," Helvea said in a note.
Among tech stocks, Aixtron soared 16 percent after China's Fujian Grand Chip Investment Fund agreed to make a bid for the German semiconductor equipment maker.
Deutsche Bank's equity strategists struck a downbeat note on prospects for the European stock market, arguing that headwinds from possible U.S. interest rate rises and a slowdown in China would impact the market.
"We see no further upside for European equities for the rest of this year," Deutsche Bank wrote in a note, cutting its end-2016 target on the STOXX 600 to 325 points from 380 points - marking a fall of 3.4 percent from current levels.
Today's European research round-up
ADVISORY- Reuters plans to replace intra-day European and UK stock market reports with a Live Markets blog on Eikon (see cpurl://apps.cp./cms/?pageId=livemarkets for site in development). In a real-time, multimedia format from 0600 London time through the 1630 closing bell, it will include the best of our market reporting, Stocks Buzz service, Eikon graphics, Reuters pictures, eye-catching research and market zeitgeist. Breaking news and dramatic market moves will continue to be alerted to all clients and we will continue to provide a short opening story and comprehensive closing reports.

First Lady Chirlane McCray chose West Elm to donate $65,000 worth of furniture to Gracie Mansion because West Elm is based in Dumbo. "We brought some Brooklyn flavor with us," she said.
In spirit, yes — but not physically. West Elm makes almost nothing in New York. Yet the 58-store chain is emblematic of New York's economy — which thrives on trade and travel.
Most of what the de Blasios chose is imported, and most of the imports are from Asia. The closest they got to the five boroughs was one couch made in Mississippi and one made in North Carolina.
Stroll around West Elm's Upper West Side store, and most anything you see made of wood comes from southeast Asia: India, Vietnam, Indonesia, China.
Among the smaller stuff, you can find a wine carafe and tea towels and a few other cool sundries made in America, but you'd have a hard time filling your mansion without buying from China.
West Elm does have stuff made locally, but the local wares in the Upper West Side store are mostly jewelry, coasters and notebooks — stocking stuffers, not anything to sit on or sleep in.
Could the de Blasios have bought "made in New York"?
Sure. Gothic Furniture makes bookshelves and coffee tables, beds and dressers, in Queens.
Gothic started out 45 years ago selling dorm furniture to NYU students. Customers came back years, even decades, later to say their furniture was in excellent shape — and wanting to buy more as they rented or bought a bigger apartment.
"Someone [else] sees a bed go for $900, and they go to Ikea" for a cheaper option, says Ari Zaharopoulos, whose dad founded Gothic. "But in the long run they buy the same thing over and over."
Gothic employs 85 master carpenters and associates in the city, many of them immigrants. But most furniture-making has gone the way of the rest of New York's manufacturing — to the South and overseas.
Just listen to the mayor. Campaigning last year, Bill de Blasio lamented that "New York City was once a beacon of manufacturing . . . Since the 1970s, manufacturing employment . . . has dropped precipitously" from a million post-war jobs.
Just since 1998, the city has lost 119,600 manufacturing jobs — over half the 195,900 that remained.
Zaharopoulos survives because "we own our own factory. . . Real estate was much cheaper [when they bought] . . . I don't think somebody starting out today" would make the same choice. His biggest challenges are retail-store rents and labor costs.
Though candidate de Blasio wanted New York to "rediscover [its] manufacturing roots," his Gracie Mansion furniture choices show how hard that is.
Yes, New York has gained 600 manufacturing jobs in two years. But there will never be enough people looking to buy made-in-Brooklyn to support mass industry.
Does it matter?
West Elm creates jobs. On top of 90 in-store jobs, it has 320 people working here in management, marketing, design and administration.
And why did West Elm put management here? Because it's selling to richer, urban consumers, and it won't learn what those folks want from a cheap suburban office park.
West Elm is not cheap (unless you're mayor). The Upper West Side store is in one of the most expensive apartment buildings in the world — 15 Central Park West. Its third New York store is in Chelsea, the most unequal congressional district in the country.
People shop at West Elm not because they have to buy imports, but because they want to spend time browsing at a beautiful and conveniently located Manhattan (or Brooklyn) showroom— even just to buy a fluffy towel (made in Portugal or Turkey).
As low- and middle-market stores in America's suburbs struggle, West Elm is doing fine by locating in rich cities from New York to London.
Thanks in part to the financing power of its parent company, Williams-Sonoma, West Elm can do better than a smaller firm with retail space targeted toward the rich. Sales grew by nearly 19 percent in the first quarter compared to last year.
That demand has helped buoy New York's economy. Since 2008, New York has gained 39,800 retail jobs — far surpassing the peak before the 2008 financial meltdown.
And some of the demand comes from people who run the factories that make our furniture.
Last Thursday, Five Zeng and Jason Wu were waiting to get into the Abercrombie & Fitch store on Fifth Avenue. They're two 16-year-old kids from Guangdong, China. After buying clothes, "I want to buy an iPad," said Zeng.
They're in America for 16 days, practicing English with a traveling summer camp and dropping money from San Francisco to Washington to Boston.
That's the global economy, of which the de Blasios are an oblivious but exemplary part.

text: On our showroom floor!As anyone whos ridden 1 will tell you, a Harley-Davidson touring rig always makes the road good. This year, it makes the road even better. All models get a reduced-effort clutch, a 50-amp charging system and more passenger room. And for the 1st time ever, H-D custom paint is available on select touring bikes. Stunning new color combos are sure to treat the eyes right. For 2006, the ears are in for a special treat, too. On all radio-equipped models, riders will be greeted with a new Advanced Audio System by Harman/Kardon designed to Harley-Davidson specifications. New speakers, AM/FM/WB/CD/MP3 and up to 80 watts of power. Its sound youve never before heard on a motorcycle. Whats more, it offers greater versatility than most car audio systems. Through Genuine Motor Parts and Accessories, you can add XM satellite radio, a 160-watt amplifier, and even a CB radio. All can be integrated right into the stereo. So whats holding you back? Theres an entire continent out there waiting to be explored. Only a Harley can lay bare this much custom style without compromising comfort. The new FLHX Street Glide. Check out the less-is-more look. Mirrors mounted right in the fairing. Solo headlamp. Its a front end worthy of triple-takes. Chrome stretched console and smoked chrome tank badges are works of art. Slammed suspension. Clean hardbags. This is every bit a Glide with a whole lot of street. Pry your eyes off the rear ground effects and new LED fender lamps and then get in the bucket seat. Carb or EFI Twin Cam 88 power and Advanced Audio System by Harman/Kardon await. Just right for parading all this style from 1 end of the country to the other.

The University of New Orleans' Friends of the Library will conduct its semesterly Books and Brownies sale on Tuesday, April 4 and Wednesday, April 5 on the fourth floor of the Earl K. Long Library.
The sale will feature several hundred CDs, vinyl records, and used books of various genres. Past sales have also traditionally sold brownies outside of the library in conjunction with the sale, for any bookworm with a sweet tooth.
"The books we sell are all donated," said Friends of the Library President Mary Hoge. "How we get them varies on a case to case basis. Sometimes faculty and staff will leave or pass away."
Hoge said, "We raise the money to support the library. They can use it for professional development, supplies, equipment, whatever they need. Sometimes it's for routine costs of staying open, and other times it's for a special project."
Friends of the Library recently raised $10,000 for a server with one of their book sales. Hoge said, "They have the Supreme Court records of Louisiana here, dating back to 1813. The library needed a dedicated server for worldwide access to that material, and the money we raised was enough to cover it."
Along with the book sale, the library will sponsor various raffles with gift cards donated from well over a dozen companies, including Amazon, Atomic Burger, Chateau Cafe, Commander's Palace and Perlis clothing store.
"Every now and then, an elderly person will pass away, and their family will want to clean out the house, and they donate their books to us. We have had some very, very nice donations come to us that way."
Over the year, between the two book sales held each semester, Friends of the Library plans to raise around $12,000.
Hoge said she anticipates the upcoming sale to be larger than those held in previous semesters, due to the fact that last semester's book sale was truncated due to incomplete renovations.
"We do a lot of publicity, and we want as many people to come as possible. We market both within campus and with the marketing department of UNO. We get a pretty good turnout, but we're always looking for more."

POWELL, Wyo. - "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get." This line from the movie Forrest Gump reflects the spirit of the upcoming Choral Sampler concert at Northwest College on Tuesday, Oct. 11.
Just like with an old-fashioned Whitman Sampler, the audience may get a chewy walnut in the guise of a Latin motet, a smooth dark chocolate jazz ballad or the crispy center of an African-American spiritual.
What is guaranteed is a relaxed and informal concert of "works in progress" by the Northwest College Choir, directed by Jan Kliewer, and the Northwest Studio Singers, directed by Craig Olson.
Longer than a sitcom but shorter than a movie, the concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Hinckley Library Amphitheater.
Admission is free.

This article appeared at 10:34 a.m. EDT on RealMoney Sept. 17.
SAN DIEGO (RealMoney) -- From the "Now I've seen everything" department: USCF Advisers is launching a new ETF that invests in the stocks of companies that do 2-for-1 stock splits.
In its press release, the company says:
"The 2 for 1 Index idea is that a stock that splits may outperform expectations for a period of time. Investors and investment professionals have both been taught that stock splits really shouldn't impact a stock's performance, but there has been a lot of material published that demonstrates that stock splits, do in fact matter."
Yes, they do -- in a bull market, when all things rise, and when stocks that are split give the illusion of a bargain.
But, regardless of what the studies show, the reality is simple: Stock splits are an illusion. Nothing changes in a company's capitalization. Instead of having one stock at $50, you get two for $25. The market value of the company remains the same.
The idea behind splits, back in the old regulated days of commissions, was that small investors could get a better deal on buying a 100-share lot if the price was lower. In order to attract them, companies would do a split.
Since then, the concept of a split has translated into one of the last bastions (okay, not last!) of investment smoke and mirrors. It merely gives the illusion of making the stock more affordable. Yes, Apple (AAPL) - Get Report has done it. So has Google (GOOGL) - Get Report .
But, notably, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) - Get Report hasn't, at least not with its Class A stock, which trades for $207,000.
As this Wall Street Journal piece points out, fewer companies are resorting to splits:
"From 2008 through 2013, only 12 S&P 500 (SPY) - Get Report companies, on average, split their stocks each year, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. By comparison, in the 1990s, an average of 64 companies in the S&P 500 split their stocks each year. In 1997, there were 102 total stock splits."
Still, while there isn't an app for that, now there is an ETF. What'll they think of next? (Send your ideas my way.)

In what seems like it came straight out of an adult cartoon, guys are now getting Botox applied to their balls in a procedure lovingly called "Scrotox."
Take a moment to let that sink in, get the giggles out, and try taking the procedure seriously for a moment.
Larger and Lower Hanging, With Less Sweat
Doctors use Botox for so many off-label uses it can be quite daunting. With hundreds of studies in the vault, people are constantly finding new ways to use the drug.
So perhaps it was inevitable that Scrotox came about. After all, where there's a body part, there seems to be an insatiable desire to see what happens if we inject it.
And what are the results for Scrotox?
A surprisingly much lower hang (some before and after pictures show them hanging, well, twice as low) a much smoother appearance, and generally a larger appearance to the nuts.
Perhaps the best functional arguments that can be made for Scrotox are an alleged improved sexual sensation and a decrease in sweat in the area.
Come summer, that second benefit can sound pretty good, but anyone interested in the treatment should be very careful.
Temperature Control and Reproduction
There's a reason that men's gonads hang outside of their body, and it has to do with reproduction. The temperature of the gonads is very heavily regulated, and the wrinkles in the testicular area are part of that temperature regulation.
So some detractors have called the procedure out for possibly reducing fertility.
Are all doctors convinced? No, some say. It's about as worthwhile as the claim that tight underwear can inhibit fertility.
All said and done, Scrotox is probably a procedure that those who were interested in it will move heaven and earth to get it.
But if you were interested in doing your due diligence, you could call your local cosmetic specialist and at least asking if they perform the procedure.

When New Jersey officials talk about subsidizing the development of power plants, some industry veterans grimace and worry that it will lead to a repeat of PURPA — the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act.
Passed during the Carter administration in the wake of the oil embargo, the program required electric utilities to enter into long-term contracts with independent power producers, which were expected to produce electricity more efficiently and, it was thought at the time, more cheaply.
Sadly for consumers, it did not work out that way. When the final so-called non-utility generating (NUG) contracts expire later this decade, the total cost to consumers in New Jersey is expected to tally about $5 billion. The contracts turned out to lock ratepayers into long-term deals that guaranteed they would pay above market prices for the power.
The NUG experience is often cited by opponents of the state's efforts to lower some of the nation's highest electricity costs by giving three developers ratepayer subsidies over 15 years. Based on their reading of public documents, utility executives have argued that subsidies could lead to higher customer rates, possibly costing them as much as $1.3 billion.
"When they signed those [NUG] contracts, I don't think anyone could have projected energy prices over the next 15 years," said Tony Robinson, administrator of the four NUG contracts still in force for the state's largest electric utility, Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G). "I don't think anyone can do it today either."
Contracts that PSE&G entered into three decades ago are still costing consumers today, adding an extra $200 million to electricity bills for PSE&G customers in 2011, according to the company. The utility, like others, has renegotiated or terminated many of its NUG deals, according to Robinson.
By the time, the last one expires in 2016, the NUG program will have added more than $3 billion to PSE&G's customers' bills, the utility said.
It hasn't been cheap for other utility customers, either. Earlier this year, the state Board of Public Utilities (BPU) gave approval to Atlantic City Electric to raise its half-million customers' bills by roughly 5 percent to recover the costs of its remaining out-of-market NUG contracts.
At one time, Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) had 13 separate NUG contracts, said Ron Morano, a spokesman for the utility, which serves about 1 million customers. It has six remaining contracts, but its efforts to renegotiate the deals led to a 5 percent drop in ratepayers' bills last March, according to Morano.
By incenting new power plants to be built and adding 2,000 megawatts of generating capacity, state officials argue that whatever subsidies are paid by ratepayers, if any, will be more than offset by a drop in overall energy prices.
Whether that bet will pay off is questionable, according to some analysts. "With 20/20 hindsight, there's always some degree of risk in any investment you make," said Paul Patterson, an energy analyst at Glenrock Associates.
But Paul Fremont, an energy analyst as Jefferies & Co., was even more dismissive of the state's efforts in a research note to clients.
"No sane project developer would invest in a rigged market which competitors are guaranteed a fix price," Fremont wrote. "This leaves consumers at the mercy of opportunistic politicians who are in a position of power to reward developers with attractive returns on their investment with virtually no risk in return for generating new jobs in the politicians' jurisdiction."

The mezzanine Sport's Bar at Penn National's Hollywood Casino is showcasing its unique installation of 10 holographic video screens. Patrons on the second-level lounge look out over the casino below and watch sports and other video on ten HOPS ® video screens specified and installed by Specialized Productions in Kutztown, Pennsylvania and Earl Girls Inc. from Atlantic City, New Jersey. These unique 60-inch glass screens imported from Germany are transparent and display video projected on the screen from a certain angle.
The heart of the HOPS ® system is a high-resolution holographic film. The film is treated by extensive laser technology and alternatively laminated with glass and foil. The specially exposed film will beam the video to the viewer upon back projection to the screen at a special angle. Incoming stray light from other angles is not affected and merely passes through the glass. The result is a daylight resistant projection. Almost all of the video sources at the casino are high definition. States Mike Tully of Specialized Productions, "We are very happy with the results of this project."
The Grantville, Pennsylvania Casino is open 24/7, so a projector that would hold up to that rigorous schedule was critical. The 10 F20 projectors are remotely managed by the audio/visual department at the Casino, managed by John Wise. The remote system, Projectiondesign's ProNet Asset management software, is able to send alerts, schedule on/off times, signal lamp changes, and maintenance. The system was installed while the casino was open, and the already crowded ceiling presented many additional challenges to the Earl Girls Inc. installation crew, as did the hundreds of slot machines below. There was also a considerable amount of extraneous WiFi to be dealt with.
The original concept was visualized by Penn National senior VP of Project Development, James Baum. Tully supervised all of the video installations in the Casino. He turned to Earl Girls Inc. to turn the concept into a reality, noting their specific expertise in video display and entertainment rigging. "We knew we wanted to create a sense of sensory stimulation with the addition of the holographic screens," says Baum. "The screens are just one part of the overall experience that differentiates our service from our competitors. Don Earl and his team understood the concept and executed a flawless installation."

RCF Group has announced the sale of SGM to a consortium headed by Danish entrepreneur Peter Johansen, effective February 1, 2012. The new company is SGM A/S, replacing the former SGM Technology for Lighting spa, will be headquartered in Aabyhøj, near Aarhus, and will concentrate exclusively on developing LED solutions, while continuing to support SGM's current catalogue of discharge lighting.
Johansen originally founded Martin Professional and joined SGM in late 2010 as R&D director. RCF Group purchased the lighting interest of SGM in April 2009 but will now focus on its core audio brand.
Johansen says the decision was entirely amicable and suits both parties. "I am delighted to be back as an independent operator, as I have always worked better this way," he says.
The two companies will not be working entirely separately. RCF will continue to represent SGM in Italy while its sister company, dBTechnologies, will distribute its products in Germany. The two companies will exhibit together at Prolight+Sound in Frankfurt following the successful formula established last year.
As the major shareholder in SGM A/S, Johansen is joined by the LED specialists from his Danish R&D team and the existing SGM sales force. In the new set-up, R&D, admin, and after-sales will be based in Denmark, with manufacturing plants in Italy, Thailand, and China, and warehousing in Holland.
"The reason I'm so enthusiastic is that having had the opportunity to take over an existing brand name, and been given a free hand to develop it, we remain committed to establishing SGM as one of the absolute leading brands within the industry," Johansen says. "I want us to be seen as the LED company of the future."
By the time Prolight+Sound opens on March 21st, SGM A/S anticipates having as many as 17 new LED products to showcase.
The new contact details for the company are:

Happy Easter to all!
The resurrection of Christ has occurred.
The splendor of the Church sung in response during Mass on Easter Sunday. Today's Catholic News.
…extraordinary celebrations nonetheless. The Gospel is always taken from John Chapter 20, in which Mary Magdalene finds the stone removed from Christ's tomb and runs to tell Peter and the other disciple, who return to find the tomb empty. A wonderful liturgical practice, always observed on Easter Sunday, is the use of the Easter Sequence, "Victimae Paschali Laudes" (the title is from the first line, which translates as "Christians, to the Paschal Victim offer your thankful praises") immediately before the proclamation of the Gospel. The sequence is a very ancient tradition, and is exceptionally beautiful when sung — especially in the original Latin chant form,
Victimae Paschali Laudes. Chant CD. Written in 1048, the hymn is sung only once a year during Easter.
English lyrics.
May you praise the Paschal Victim,
immolated for Christians.
The Lamb redeemed the sheep:
Christ, the innocent one,
has reconciled sinners to the Father.
A wonderful duel to behold,
as death and life struggle:
The Prince of life dead,
now reigns alive.
Tell us, Mary Magdalen,
what did you see in the way?
I saw the sepulchre of the living Christ,
and I saw the glory of the Resurrected one:
The Angelic witnesses,
the winding cloth, and His garments.
The risen Christ is my hope:
He will go before His own into Galilee.
We know Christ to have risen
truly from the dead:
And thou, victorious King,
have mercy on us.
Amen. Alleluia.
Latin lyrics.
Victimae paschali laudes
immolent Christiani.
Agnus redemit oves:
Christus innocens Patri
reconciliavit peccatores.
Mors et vita duello
conflixere mirando:
dux vitae mortuus,
regnat vivus.
Dic nobis Maria,
quid vidisti in via?
Sepulcrum Christi viventis,
et gloriam vidi resurgentis:
Angelicos testes,
sudarium, et vestes.
Surrexit Christus spes mea:
praecedet suos in Galilaeam.
Scimus Christum surrexisse
a mortuis vere:
tu nobis, victor Rex,
Amen. Alleluia.
Unlike the solemn Gregorian chants, this is also a beautiful rendition, but of choir voices with an organ. Listen.
Victimae Paschali Laudes
April 8, 2007
The expressions from the eight day feast of Easter. Greetings!
During the Easter Octave, there is a long-standing tradition of Christians exchanging a variety of Easter greetings. One might say, "Christus resurrexit!" ("Christ is risen!"), and another would respond with either "Vere resurrexit!" ("He is risen indeed!") or "Resurrexit sicut dixit!" ("Risen just as He said!") or "Deo gratias!" (Thanks be to God!").

The effect accomplished by HDR photography techniques cannot be matched by any other traditional photography techniques. Also, HDR photography processing techniques largely depend on the hardware instead of the software that is being used for post processing. With respect to its inherent nature, HDR photography lets the user to be the master of control as well as the interesting vision and representation of a photographer can be portrayed using HDR photography. Today, a large number of industries hiring image editing service companies that provides various kinds of services including real estate hdr photo editing.
Read it: Real Estate HDR Photo Editing Services And Their Advantages
Furthermore, HDR photography includes taking a series of photos at different exposure values of the camera and later using post processing software so as to combine the images into a single picture. But, this process is not simple. Some of the software options, even enable users to create HDR photography simply by simulating layers in a single photo and this can produce some great results. But, not as sensational as a true HDR processed picture.
Key Techniques Used In HDR Processing Frequently:
– Tone Mapping Techniques
– Luminance Masking Techniques
– Digital Blending Techniques
– Dynamic Range Increase Techniques
These are some of the many options that are featured on a post processing software. Also, all of these can improve the dynamic range of captured pictures. The better the use of these techniques, the higher the dynamic range of the image. While all of these techniques turn out to be helpful, picture takers should experiment with the software options so as to develop their own individuality and taste. In terms of dynamics and depth, HDR photographs can prove to say a lot. Before diving into the depths of HDR photography, enthusiasts will need to understand the process a little bit.
A lot of people compare HDR photography to conventional photography techniques and ask "Is it to shoot photos in HDR? Of course yes is the answer. This is actually a matter of individual taste and preference, but no one can deny that HDR photography techniques can be used to create the most vivid and captivating images. Today's, photographers utilize all methods of photography as well as try to get as much expertise in every domain as possible. Also, many of them have been experimenting around with various HDR photography techniques and software brands. Also, they have gone on to produce very arresting pictures.

I create this task here so we can talk about a design/implementation for a decent API and improvements for Cycles standalone.
Image: The Cycles standalone app
Standalone code: https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/C/
Current API
At the moment we have a basic xml api, which was only intended for testing.
Examples can be found here: https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/C/browse/master/examples/
New API
I think we need an api which is easier to read/write, while still staying simple and manually editable.
We'd like to get feedback from people, who are interested in integrating Cycles into other applications.
Reasons to make this happen
I still see a great potential in the standalone, and as most code is already there, it shouldn't be too hard to make this usable.
- Cycles would become usable for other 3D applications, and therefore we could also get more potential developers.
- Even for Blender, it would help as benchmark and testing tool for the engine itself. We could have a automated test suite then.

text: Career diplomat Glyn Davies is replacing Stephen Bosworth as the US ambassador to North Korea [EPA] The US has announced it will resume bilateral talks with North Korea on the reclusive nation's nuclear programme and appointed a new envoy to the communist state. Mark Toner, the state department spokesman, said on Wednesday the talks between US officials and a North Korean delegation would take place on Monday and Tuesday in Geneva, Switzerland. The meeting comes nearly three months after US and North Korean officials met in New York, ending a long break in direct engagement with Pyongyang. In an interview with the Russian state news agency Itar-Tass published on Wednesday, Kim Jong-il, the North Korean leader, repeated his readiness to return to stalled nuclear talks "without any preconditions"."Our principal position that the six-party talks should be swiftly resumed without any preconditions remains unchanged," Kim said in a written response to questions from Itar-Tass. The two Koreas, Japan, Russia, China and the US are involved in the on-and-off negotiations. Toner said Stephen Bosworth was stepping down as the US pointman on North Korea and would be replaced by Glyn Davies, a career diplomat. The two men will head together to Geneva along with Ford Hart, the new representative to the six-nation denuclearisation talks. "This is a change in personnel, not a change in policy," Toner told reporters. Toner said the US wanted North Korea to take "steps toward denuclearisation" before any resumption of full-fledged six-nation talks, as sought by Pyongyang and its ally China. 'Seriousness of purpose' "What we want to see is a seriousness of purpose. We're not going, as we have said many times, to reward North Korea just for returning to the table or give them anything new for actions they've agreed to take," he said. The new US envoy to Pyongyang has been Washington's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency. His appointment and the forthcoming talks indicate Washington wants to step up negotiations with Pyongyang.Last year, North Korea unveiled a uranium enrichment programme in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions. The US and North Korea have no formal diplomatic ties, and relations have been rocky. During a state visit to Washington last week by Lee Myung-bak, the South Korean president, President Barack Obama had strong words for the communist-governed North. Obamas said "if Pyongyang continues to ignore its international obligations it will invite even more pressure and isolation". Pyongyang pulled out of negotiations in April 2009 after being censured for test-firing a long-range missile. SOURCE: Agencies Politics US & Canada China Japan North Korea

If Barbetta, my last drawing, is the great grandfather of the city's Northern Italian restaurants, Boerum Hill's Rucola, which serves food "inspired by the slow food movement in Piedmont," according to its website, is like one of those young kids who is forever changing the face of Brooklyn. The work of Henry Rich, a specialty-foods entrepreneur who lived around the corner as a child, and his cousin and fellow King's County native Julian Brizzi, Rucola opened a few years ago with a bang (it was in Vogue magazine and The New York Times said it "reflects Boerum Hill's platonic ideal of itself; it's full of rootsy Brooklyn good taste"). These days, it's popular with the locals and unlike its menu, which varies with the seasons, not likely to be changing anytime soon. (190 Dean St., at Bond St, Brooklyn. 718-576-3209.)

.mobi is your mobile access to the lottery.
Lottery and .mobi were made for each other.
Let me first thank you for checking out this first installment of my blog. I do hope it becomes a popular place for lottery enthusiasts to come get information pertaining to their respective state lottery.I also intend to utilize this site to encourage others to develop,purchase,and search .mobi sites. (.mobi is your mobile access to the web) Mobile access to the web has far surpassed home computers as the access point of choice for web enthusiasts. Many sites will not format to a mobile devise,yet .mobi sites can be viewed from home computers,laptops,notebooks,and mobile devises. When searching the web on your cell phone,all way's think .mobi first,and encourage your friends to check it out.
I will not pretend to be a writer,but I will try to get my point across without boring you too bad, and even use spell check every now and again.
So without further hesitation,here is the lowdown. I have been working on creating a conglomerate of lottery sites designed for mobile access. Around mid April,2009. I began researching lottery domains and was amazed at the number of potential sites available.Long story short,I purchased an amount of domains great enough to consider this venture to be nothing short of a potential business( currently profit free) and started development of my first site in late june,2009.(6-25-2009)
Http://coloradolottery.mobi , and Http://colottery.mobi were the first sites developed. They are still a work in progress but the foundation has been layed. Currently,I have been able to have produced thirtytwo states lottery number sites with over sixty domain access points and over 100 new mobile domains. All my sites are still under development but the lottery sites are accessible with accurate information and ease of use.
Every site has additional links. Many have sports news available as well as gambling,ring tones,mobile games,on line dating,college registration and information,along with a multitude of lottery information. I am continually researching the best possible ads to offer ease of access,positive,comfortable experience so you as my guest on any lottery site,wants to return week after week.
Current list of states to be developed will be added soon. Go to this link for all states being developed. http://wp.me/pBn2B-3
Please do not think your opinion will not matter as you review any of my sites. Take the time to give criticism as well as positive feed back so I can adjust the .mobi,( mobile ) experience to best reflect your wants and needs.
the current list of developed sites is as follows.

Over the coming months,I will work on keeping you informed as to the progress of this venture.There really is much to tell. I will say now that tackling a project like this is not at all what I had planned on doing when it all started. There really are many 20 hr days sitting in front of the computer researching this,typing that,entering domains with search engines,upgrading hosting accounts, and so on. If your not afraid of long hours for no pay and days of trial and error with the possible outcome being failure, I would say what the hell. ( I am not afraid to fail for I now know I will not be doing that tomorrow. ) Quot me if you like.
So here is to my lottery venture. Winning never sounded better than it does right now!, but loosing sure has kept me motivated. Pitchman101

A Gilded Christmas...
Today's card is a feast of bright gilding flakes which, in real life, almost look like flames flickering in the light. I started by taking a piece of Milk Coloured Foundation card and die cutting the filigree inserts from the Sue Wilson Vintage Bauble die set in the centre. I offset the two baubles to give a look as though they were hanging in the air!
I added Ivory PVA glue pearls and then distressed the whole sheet using Spiced marmalade and vintage photo Distress Ink, i ran the cut n dry foam over the (dry) glue pearls which gives them a lovely colour.
Next I added a piece of double sided adhesive sheet to another piece of Milk card and gilded it with the Red Blaze Cosmic Shimmer gilding flakes. I then die cut two of the corners form the vintage bauble set for the middle of this piece being carefull not to cut anywhere that could be seen through the die cut baubles (that made sense in my head, perhaps as Mr Duck says I need a Secretary!)
I mounted the die cut piece with foam tape over the gilded piece then simply created some mats and layers to house the card. The border is made by running double sided tape around the edge of a piece of the milk card and then gilding that which saves on gilding a whole sheet for a mat!

Hi John. Wow, both yesterdays and todays cards are real stunners. The cobalt/black one with the beautiful stamp is striking but in a lovely way, I don't think it is too bright at all. Todays gilded card is gorgeous, I love the baubles, the fisrt time my daughter saw one cut out she thought it was an old fashioned hot air balloon! Using double sided tape for gilding edges is so easy., it's a good way to start gilding if you feel a bit nervous- not that anyone needs to be as the worst you can do is waste a bit of card and a tiny amount of gilding flakes! Thank you John for such gorgeous cards : ) Glad to hear that you had a lovely birthday surprise. Take care.ReplyDelete
Morning John,ReplyDelete
What a Stunning a Card, I Really Love The Red Blaze Gilding Flakes and The Fabulous Baubles, I Love how you've used the Ivory PVA Glue to create your Pearls then gone over them with your Distress Ink, I Love The Awesome Corners, thank you so much for sharing John, and the great photography.
Hugs from Sam x

Very pretty John, xxxxReplyDelete
Eh up JohnReplyDelete
Love the effect with the flakes but have to say, without some sort of thread or line, they do look more like hot air balloons lol! That's ok thought as they would be the fanciest ones on the planet lol!
I understood what you meant about the corners and folks, it wasn't a typo, it was MR Duck who said John needed a secretary. . . Not me, Im too expensive lol!
Have a great day.

Beautiful card John.ReplyDelete
oh the gilding flakes. How lovely!ReplyDelete
Fantastic card John,I agree with Mrs Duck about the little hanging up bits.ReplyDelete
I love the effects you have on the card John, but my first thought was that they were hot air balloons, I think they do need to be tethered to the top of the card, sorry.ReplyDelete
Hi John, can just imagine this shining away in a flickering light, lovely card, best wishes Jackie xxReplyDelete
Hi John, yes they look like hot air balloons, but I love them because of that. These dies are then not just for Christmas, but make an ideal aviation lover card.ReplyDelete

Hi John what a lovely card I love the gilding in the background. I have just started to try out this idea and hope I can get the same results as you Beryl xxReplyDelete
Hi John,ReplyDelete
I'm continually playing catch up this week.
Love this superb design for this and as someone said it it glows beautifully.
Fab idea the inking of the ivory comic glue dots, I will remember that next time I need to match then up.
I have these dies as they were my consolation buy for not going to Ally Pally, so I will be trying this.
Crafty Regards. Jenny L.

**I suggest you do not attempt to drink and that your bladder is empty before reading this post.
I stole this post on http://www.cracked.com
|Everybody is a comedian these days, and the Internet has given us all an enormous stage. Maybe the best example is a supposedly comedy-free site like Amazon.com.
The deal is, anybody can write a review, on any product, whether they have bought it or not. So it's just a matter of finding a baffling/ridiculous/useless product and watching the Internet's sarcasm run wild. For instance, just check out the reviews for ...
#8.The "Guardian Angel" Acupuncture Device
Bizarrely so:
By the way, the product description claims it's a Korean acupressure device. You roll it around on your hand and it cures your arthritis or something. That actually leads me to quote one more review:
All right, I guess there was room for at least one good sex toy joke.
#7.Wheelmate Laptop Steering Wheel Desk
I should point out that, when we're done laughing at the stories of people mixing cocktails and eating chili while driving, there are some people who might actually get some use out of this when their car is safely parked. People like claims adjusters or real estate agents, who have to drive from client to client without returning to the office and need to do paperwork in the parking lot.
Not to be a wet blanket and say you can't cut lines of coke during a high-speed chase once in a while. Just do it responsibly.
#6.Uranium Ore
Or you can just enjoy this Back to the Future reference.
The title's all you need from that one.
#5.How To Avoid Huge Ships
As if that wasn't enough, Madeleine B. piles on an additional layer of sarcasm icing on the sarcasm cake:
What's it like to be so perfect, indeed.
When I first read this, and esp the one about Huge Ships, I literally fell of my chair.Nate literally picked me up!
Moving on----
#4.Playmobil Security Check Point
OK, that might be kind of a ha-ha satire of people who overreact to toys or something. I'm sure they don't really think that airport security belongs in the same category as waterboarding.
I cut it off there because this guy wrote a whole fucking essay about our police state and what's wrong with airport security and how the system favors the rich and something about Guantanamo. I think he started out planning to write a joke about how thanks to some interesting timing, a previously innocent toy for kids now reminds people of a current controversy and then remembered how much he hated the TSA and started writing a Letter to the Editor.
I'm not joking when I say it's an essay, here's what the whole thing looks like.
"But wait," you might say, "I agree with that guy and find his stupid essay funny and enlightening. Can't a person make a political point and also get it across humorously, even if you disagree with him?"
Sure, but it wouldn't look like that. It would probably look something like this.
You can thank Amazon reviewer John T. Thompson for that.
the whole high-end cable business is a scam. There is nothing more highly marked up and full of bullshit technobabble buzzwords than TV or computer cables in an electronics store. In a field of bullshitters, this cable was a bullshit medalist, though, with an original list price of $500, for a five-foot ethernet cable. Tech geeks tore it to pieces.
#3.Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable
As you can see, the bitingly sarcastic reviewers were remarkably balanced. Not only did they talk about the cable's miraculous benefits, but were open about the dangers of such amazing technology:
I'm actually a little scared now.
this exam table. I hope to God that it's only doctors that are buying these things, anyway. Still, reviewers had a field day:
#2.Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Kit
Mysterious "Parent Child Testing Product"
Sure, I could tell you what the deal is with this listing but that would be like explaining how Santa could never get to every child's house in one night. Isn't there little enough wonder left in the world without taking this away?

Sunday, 5th October, Surface Water, The Taylor.
- Details
- Written by John McDouall Stuart
- Category: John McDouall Stuart - Sixth Expedition
- Hits: 1365
Sunday, 5th October, Surface Water, The Taylor. Still blowing strong and cool from the same quarter. About half-past one o'clock Thring returned; he could find no surface water, neither any to be had by digging. He then crossed over to the foot of the Hanson, where he saw some native smoke; on his arriving at it he surprised a native busily engaged in sinking for water, about six feet deep, in the bed of the creek, who, as soon as he saw him, jumped out of the well and ran off as fast as he could. He then tried to see what quantity of water was in the bottom of the well, but having nothing but a quart pot to clear it out with, he was unable to form a correct opinion, but from all appearances he thinks there will be sufficient for our use for some time, only it will require an immense deal of labour and time to remove the great body of sand to enable the horses to get down to it. To-morrow I shall send Thring with McGorrerey and Nash, with four horses and sufficient provisions for a fortnight. On their arrival at the native well on the Hanson they will be able easily to get water enough for their four horses that night. McGorrerey and Nash will then clear out the well and see what quantity there is in it, while Thring will proceed up the Hanson to see if there is water in the springs that I discovered on my first journey through the centre. If they are dry he will proceed with the examination of the Hanson to above where we crossed it; he will then return to the diggers; by that time they will be able to judge if there is sufficient water for the whole party. If there is sufficient he will leave them to dig, and come on to me; if not, and there is no more water higher up, he will bring them on with him, and I shall require to try a course more to the south-east. In the afternoon the three natives again made their appearance, bawling out as they came near, but retreated as Mr. Kekwick went towards them to see what they wanted. Wind still south-east.
