Kanye West and Julia Fox Are Reportedly Dating, Ready to Take Relationship to Next Level
Kanye West's love life is heating up.
After stepping out to dinner with Julia Fox at Carbone restaurant in Miami on Saturday, more details are emerging on the rapper's budding relationship with the Uncut Gems star.
"Julia and Ye are dating," a source tells Page Six. "They both just got out of their former relationships, and they've helped each other recover immensely."
According to the report, West, 44, and Fox, 31, are ready to take things to the next level, and could even become Instagram-official soon.
"They're kind of kindred spirits, and it's cool to watch," adds the source.
After their first date, the two hit up Japanese restaurant Makoto for dinner on Sunday, along with Future. The billionaire Yeezy mogul "kept his hoodie on the entire time," while Fox wore a leather trench coat.
"The hostesses were blown away that he just walked in," said an insider.
Kanye is moving on after Kim Kardashian filed paperwork to be declared legally single amid their ongoing divorce. He was romantically linked to models Irina Shayk and Vinetria, and was spotted partying with Instagram model Yasmine Lopez in Houston over the holidays.
While he embraces single life, he remains dedicated to his family. Just before Christmas, he bought the house directly across the street from Kim and their four kids in Hidden Hills, Calif. for $4.5 million.

"Boesch's provocative ideas will surely stimulate argument and new research."

SS Rajamouli's Baahubali, which released in 2015, has bagged as many 13 Nandi awards in different categories. As Best Actor, this is his fourth Nandi. Nadamuri Balakrishna starrer Legend, which released in 2014 managed to win 8 Nandi awards.
In year 2016, NTR Jr was given Best Actor award, which is deserving as he gave good performances in "Nannaku Prematho" and the film won about six awards in all.
Manam and Hithudu released in 2014, were adjudged the second and third best films respectively.
On the other hand, Legend's leading lady Geetanjali walked with the honour of best actress for the year 2014 while Anushka bagged the best actress award for Rudhramadevi and Size Zero in 2015.
"Legend", a pure mass masala movie with little artistic values, winning Best Film Award itself is a farce. Master NTR, Hari Krishna's grandson and son of late Nandamuri Janaki Ram, won Best Child Actor for "Daana Veera Soora Karna" and the film also took the award for Best Children's Film. Srimanthudu is selected as best popular feature film providing wholesome entertainment in 2015. Janatha Garage, which released in 2016 as well, is the best popular feature film for the entertainment goal. Janatha Garage, released in same year, has been declared the best popular feature film providing wholesome entertainment. The Government also announced best home viewing feature films.
Though Superstar Rajinikanth and "Ulaganayagan" Kamal Haasan are contemporary rivals in film business, they share a good rapport off-screen. K. Raghavendra Rao bagged the same the award for 2015.
Narayana Murthy, Keeravani and K. S. Rama Rao won the Nagi Reddy Chakrapani national film award for the years 2014, 2015, and 2016 respectively. Though Nandi awards were always been with one or other controversy, this time the awards were to attract even more controversies as TDP mark is very much visible in the awards this time. Nandamuri Balakrishna, Murali Mohan, Giribabu, Jeevitha and others handed over the awards lists.

Fibre2fashion : What inspired you to incorporate ancestral art from Montparnasse into your Autumn/Winter 2016 collection?
Montparnasse is one of the oldest areas in Paris and we were impressed by the street art and the vintage yet chic feel it offers. So we translated beautiful architecture and interiors into our collection.
Fibre2fashion : What has the response been to your Mon Passé collection showcased at Lakme Fashion Week (LFW)?
After a great show at LFW, response has been tremendous. A lot of brides-to-be and grooms are appreciating the styles and motifs of this collection.
Fibre2fashion : What changes have you witnessed in demand for occasionwear and bridalwear in the last couple of years?
We love how nowadays people are open to experimenting with edgy styles and willing to try new colours. They have moved on from the conventional styles of lehenga, blouse and dupatta and are opting for drape sarees, cold shoulder gowns and cape crop tops.
Fibre2fashion : Which prints and fabrics will be in demand this wedding season, according to you?
Prints that have a story around them add certain elements to ensembles. Pure fabrics such as silks and raw silks work well for drapes and help the motifs to stand out. So, they are popular this season.
Fibre2fashion : Are modern Indian grooms willing to experiment with their looks? What kind of designs and colours are popular among them?
Yes, the modern groom is experimenting in terms of colours. Apart from the clichéd red and gold, grooms are opting for emerald and burgundy hues. They are open to trying interesting drapes and prints.
Fibre2fashion : Indian brides are experimenting with colours for bridal outfits. Which unconventional shades do you think will be trending this season?
Burgundy is a favourite this season and the modern brides and grooms love it. Emerald, blush and midnight blue work well this season.
Fibre2fashion : Which silhouettes are likely to dominate the market during the upcoming festive season?
Attached flowing capes and drapes are dominating the festive season. They add elegance and give a royal feel to the ensemble.
Fibre2fashion : If you had to give just one advice to the bride-to-be for a bridal outfit, what would it be?
A wedding affair has plenty of functions and a bride-to-be must be careful not to keep her look similar for any two functions. She can go for a traditional look for the wedding, and for sangeet she can opt for a modern ensemble keeping the look contemporary. The bride should opt for different hues for each function. It is also important for brides not to over-accessorise and pick accessories according to their outfits.
Fibre2fashion : Which fashion trends should strictly be avoided?
Avoid wearing too much jewellery just because you are a bride. It is normal for a bride to apply make-up, but it should be done keeping in mind the place you are at.
Fibre2fashion : As designers, what steps do you hope the expected Textile Policy should incorporate to help you boost your business?
As designers, our USP is creating custom-woven designs. However, it gets very difficult to maintain exclusivity. This restricts us and we also have to explore our creativity to the fullest. We want the expected Textile Policy to incorporate measures against plagiarism.

Honoring 125 Years of Sisterhood
Kappa Delta Sorority has connected confident, action-oriented women for more than 125 years across 168 colleges and universities. Over time, the Kappa Delta brand became outdated. It didn't accurately reflect their changing demographics and institutional architecture, and it was difficult to apply to their marketing materials. The leadership team at Kappa Delta came to Push10 to revitalize the brand by introducing a new visual identity and web design to better represent the century-long legacy and their vision for the future.
kappadelta.org
Understand the Legacy
To know where to take the Kappa Delta brand, we needed to understand their past and how that has shaped their future.
Refresh the Brand
The resulting strategy became the foundation for a successful identity redesign.
Introduce it to the World
A new web design introduced the new Kappa Delta brand to the world.
Discovering Kappa Delta
Kappa Delta conducted extensive brand strategy research before approaching our team. We dove into their insights, data, and analyses and drew together key objectives to address with a rebrand.
Embodying the spirit and values of the Kappa Delta woman
From the start, our rebrand needed to reflect what makes a Kappa Delta woman: someone who is in a continual pursuit of learning and growth throughout her life, who is actively building a future for herself and her community.
Preserving tradition while embracing progress
As a 125-year-old institution, it was important that this rebrand honor and preserve the sorority's legacy while also embracing the progress and changes it has made.
Emphasizing a Lifelong Sisterhood
Kappa Delta's research showed the most valuable motivator for joining their sorority is the life-long friendships one builds. The brand refresh needed to emphasize relationship-building above all else.
Unifying Kappa Delta sub brands into one "house"
Kappa Delta operates a variety of sub brands, but they weren't a cohesive family. The brand needed to be consistent and flexible enough to represent all sub brands as a Kappa Delta operation.
An Evolved Brand Identity
Drawing from key research findings, we designed a new brand identity for Kappa Delta. With the brand architecture and marketing team in mind, we created an extensive catalog of brand elements, guidelines, and assets that are easy to understand and apply for any occasion. The new visual identity, paired with a refreshed yet established brand definition, charted the path forward for an evolved Kappa Delta.
The Nautilus Shell Logo
In our research, we found that the ancient symbol of a nautilus stands for growth, expansion, and renewal – plus, the Sorority had a long history with this symbol.
Light and airy graphic elements
Soft, airy, energized, refined, and feminine: five adjectives that informed our development of a graphic element library, including graphics for the Sorority's 125-year anniversary and Giving Tuesday.
Soft, feminine typography and color
We chose a modern combination of serif, sans serif, and script typefaces to simultaneously communicate the legacy of Kappa Delta while giving a nod to its ever-evolving network of sisters.
GT Super Display's simplicity and traditional aesthetic gives the brand a timeless feeling.
Apercu is a modern take on classic sans serif typefaces. Its realist proportions with cheery slants and angles is a nod to Kappa Delta's melding of the old and the new.
Tropical Summer Signature is a fun and youthful script typeface. Its handwritten feel adds a sense of renewed energy and fluidity to the brand.
A Branded House
Kappa Delta operates multiple sub brands including a foundation, a shop, and a real estate management group. To unify the brands as one family, we created logos, colors, and assets for each.
As one of the main objectives of the brand refresh was to create elements that can be easily used across chapters for marketing purposes, we designed a 51-page brand guide filled with instructions on how to use the new visual elements, write in a consistent voice and tone, and create consistent marketing and campaign collateral.
Serving Collegians and Alumnae through a Sound UX Strategy
Kappa Delta's website serves two main audiences: collegians and alumnae. These audiences have very different perspectives and engage differently with Kappa Delta. Designing a website that appeals to both groups begins with a UX strategy that considers users' goals and pain points.
To learn more about their users' goals and pain points, we conducted audience surveys, user testing, and a competitive analysis.
Differing identities
Our research found that collegians and alumnae see themselves differently. While collegians identify more as "sisters," the alumnae prefer to be referred to as "alumnae." This finding influenced the structure of our navigation.
Similar goals
We found that both audiences value similar content and are looking to take the same actions on the site. Alumnae are more likely to be looking for connection points through the blog, member stories, or through events. Collegians are more likely to be looking for contact information.
A Contextualized Site Architecture
Based on our research, we structured the website in a way that: (1) helps alumnae discover relevant content and stay connected, (2) keeps the most valuable content front and center, and (3) highlights opportunities for action.
Designing the Web Experience
The brand we built for Kappa Delta became the foundation from which we designed the website. The visual direction of the new web design is fresh and energetic without alienating alumnae who deeply value the traditions and legacy of the sorority.
Storytelling at its Finest
The main motivator for joining Kappa Delta is the opportunity to join a lifelong sisterhood. Therefore, we prioritized storytelling within our design and content structure.
A Simple, Yet Effective Web Development
We recommended an overall approach to technology that focused on a user-centric experience while taking special care to remain simple, concise, and user friendly. Built on a WordPress platform, the website is quick to load, seamless on mobile, and full of subtle animations that bring a sense of fun and energy to the experience.
Working with Push10 was a 10/10 experience. We did a full rebrand and website redesign with Push10. Their project management is extremely organized, their design team is creative and strategic, and the web development team was top-notch. I'm so happy with the work they delivered to us. I'd use them again in a heart beat!

In 2011 he relocated to Belize. There he founded the "Danny Michel Ocean Academy Foundation" to help raise scholarships for small non-profit community high school. To date he's raised over $70,000.00 for the school and volunteers there when he can.
Past critics have praised Danny's lyrics for having "something to say" without coming off preachy. Topics range from the environment to big questions ("If Gods' on your side, then who's on mine?"). Others ask "Who's Gonna Miss You When You're Gone?", a song which explores karma asking "did you live it right?/did you live it wrong?". At the moment Danny is sitting in front of a blank canvas contemplating where his next album is going to take him. It could go anywhere from here. Knowing Danny, wherever it goes – it will be an adventure".

PETITIONS TRIAL: NDP witness accused of being 'a signatory to what she did not author'
Updated: 24 Feb 2019 - 10:26PM
North Windward resident, Cheryl Sutherland, left, and returning officer for the district, Ville Davis. (iWN photos)
The witness who was summoned to testify in the North Windward election petition has been accused of being "a signatory to what she did not author".
Ville Davis, the returning officer for North Windward in the Dec. 9, 2015 general election levelled the accusation against Cheryl Sutherland as he was being cross examined on Tuesday, the last day of oral evidence in the case.
Sutherland, a teacher, was co-opted — in accordance with the electoral law — as a random person to witness the final count in North Windward on Dec. 10, 2015.
She later signed an affidavit saying that there was no counting of the individual ballots on Dec. 10, 2015 and that the process she witnessed ended around 2:30 p.m., six hours earlier than Davis claimed in court.
Lauron "Sharer" Baptiste of the main opposition New Democratic Party is challenging the outcome of the vote, which electoral officials say he lost to the ruling Unity Labour Party's Montgomery Daniel.
During the cross examination by Keith Scotland, Baptiste's lead counsel, Davis told the court that he knows Sutherland to be a school teacher and that he did not know which political party she was supporting.
Asked if, to his mind, Sutherland was an independent person, he said that she was not a representative of any party.
"She came in as an observer and that was what she was until she left," he said.
He told the court that, at no time, did he ask Sutherland if she had any experience in election matters or the final counting of votes after an election.
Davis also said he did not tell Sutherland what she had to do during the proceedings.
He told the court that Sutherland had arrived at the polling station late.
"… those who came at beginning they were briefed. When she walked in, we were doing what we had to do," he told the court of the woman who Gradie King, an electoral officer in North Windward, had asked to witness the final count.
"That slipped from my mind when we had the lull," Davis said of why he did not explain the procedure to Sutherland.
He said Sutherland spoke the truth when she told the court that each of the ballot boxes had four plastic ties on the side that were cut with scissors to open then.
He, however, disagreed with her when she said that the ballots were not each counted individually, but rather, after going through each box, Davis just packed envelopes back into the ballot box and that was it.
Scotland asked Davis if Sutherland was "fibbing" on him in making such a claim.
"I believe she was a signatory to what she did not author," Davis told the court.
He said he believed this because there are "untruths" in her witness statement.
In her witness statement, Sutherland said she did not see any Form 6 at the final count. A Form 6 is a notice announcing the date and place of a final count after an election.
Asked if she knows what a "Form 6" was, Sutherland said no and told the court the only Form 6 she knows about is in school.
"Why did you swear to that? Where did the statement come from, sir?" asked Senior Counsel Douglas Mendes who was cross examining her.
She told the court that she did not write her statement in her own hand, but had dictated it to the lawyer and she did the recording.
Sutherland testified only after lawyers for the petitioners asked that she be summoned to court.
iWitness News understands that Sutherland, a school teacher, had said that while she was willing to testify, she wanted the court to summon her because she did not want it to appear that she had left her workplace to go testify on behalf of the opposition.
Justice John says he will give his ruling on March 21.

Untruths in statements? According to whom? This is just more damage control by the ULP posse.

Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Sale
Lot 27 A
On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. Where Christie's has provided a Minimum Price Guarantee it is at risk of making a loss, which can be significant, if the lot fails to sell. Christie's therefore sometimes chooses to share that risk with a third party. In such cases the third party agrees prior to the auction to place an irrevocable written bid on the lot. The third party is therefore committed to bidding on the lot and, even if there are no other bids, buying the lot at the level of the written bid unless there are any higher bids. In doing so, the third party takes on all or part of the risk of the lot not being sold. If the lot is not sold, the third party may incur a loss. The third party will be remunerated in exchange for accepting this risk based on a fixed fee if the third party is the successful bidder or on the final hammer price in the event that the third party is not the successful bidder. The third party may also bid for the lot above the written bid. Where it does so, and is the successful bidder, the fixed fee for taking on the guarantee risk may be netted against the final purchase price.
Third party guarantors are required by us to disclose to anyone they are advising their financial interest in any lots they are guaranteeing. However, for the avoidance of any doubt, if you are advised by or bidding through an agent on a lot identified as being subject to a third party guarantee you should always ask your agent to confirm whether or not he or she has a financial interest in relation to the lot.

This work will be listed as catalogue number 02.029 in the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné being organized by David Gray.
Robert Ryman's Connect exemplifies what the artist refers to as the wonder of painting. This white monochromatic canvas is among the largest in the artist's oeuvre and was completed as he undertook his painterly investigations on an architectural scale. The richly impastoed surface, bordered by slivers of raw unprimed canvas around the margins is the physical manifestation of Ryman's philosophical views on painting. Traditionally, artists have worked in one of two modes: representation or abstraction. However, Ryman's works are neither representational nor abstract. They are not signs, or expressions as we have come to expect from artists; they are, in their truest sense, experiences.
This can be seen across the entire surface of this majestic canvas as Ryman creates a painterly practice that is all-encompassing. Unconstrained by the need to depict color, form or gesture, Ryman choreographs an infinite series of brushstrokes resulting in a seemingly endless expanse of painterly impasto. Comprised of a rich variety of brushstrokes ranging from long sweeping, serpentine movements of his brush to passages which are made up almost entirely of short, sharp, staccato applications of paint, Ryman constructs a surface packed with infinite variety. Despite being executed purely in monochromatic white, the surface is actually dramatically varied as the peaks of impasto cause a complex range of constantly shifting forces to track across the surface of the work. Ryman considers his work to encompass not just the surface, but every aspect of the painting and perhaps due to this holistic approach he leaves a thin sliver of unprimed and unpainted canvas along the upper and lower right corners. Unlike the nature of Agnes Martin's graphite lines which power through the gentle undulations of her gessoed surfaces, Ryman embraces the liquescent nature of the paint and allows it to celebrate its own physical properties, resulting in the highly dynamic surface we can see in works such as Connect.
Yet, Ryman's canvases are so much more than a painted surface. The artist believes that the essence of his work extends beyond the pigment covered canvas to include the wall (and in some cases the fixings that attach the canvas to the wall), the gallery space and even the shadow caused by the work as it hangs on the wall. and should all be considered part of the work. "…the properties of the paint and the support, and the interaction with exhibition space together constitute Ryman's work and exhaust its meaning"
(A. Vallye, in C. Basualdo and A. Mecugni, {ed.), Embracing the Contemporary: The Keith L. and Katherine Sachs Collection, exh. cat., Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2016, p. 222). Indeed, the title of this particular work—Connect—could be read as the artist's way of reminding us of the universal nature of his art.
Reduced to the simple white palette, Ryman's painting is a master class in economy. Yet, the interaction of surface properties—the gentle impasto that produces peaks and troughs of paint—with the refracted light magnifies a myriad of surface incidents. Rebounding off or skidding over the surface, Ryman's 'white' color is alternatively bright white, cool or warm. Described by Ryman as his 'medium', he observes, "I'm not really interested in white as a color, although I have at times used different whites for different purposes. Sometimes I used warm white because I wanted to have a warm absorbing light. At other times I've used colder white...it has to do with light—softness, hardness, reflection and movement—all these things" (R. Ryman, quoted in R. Storr, 'Simple Gifts', Robert Ryman, exh. cat., Tate, London, 1993, p. 17). Ryman's use of white does not define his paintings and it is by no means an expression of rigidity. Rather, it represents a means of revealing the painting as a whole, exposing the intense surface activity and experimental painterly process. White serves the same purpose as the square canvas: stripped of all connotations, it bears the least associations. Inherently composed, for Ryman white is a symbol of purity, of austerity, and most significantly, of autonomy. "The use of white in my paintings came about when I realized that it doesn't interfere. It's a neutral colour that allows for a clarification of nuances in painting. It makes other aspects of painting visible that would not be so clear with the use of other colours" (Ibid., p. 16).
Throughout his career, Ryman's monochromatic canvases have been linked to a number of the major artistic movements of the 20th century, primarily Minimalism and Conceptual Art, but also to some degree Abstract Expressionism. Yet, Ryman rejected all of these labels, instead preferring to describe his work as 'Realist.' According to the artist his work is an alternative to the dominant doctrines of figuration and abstraction. He believes that the traditional disciplines of abstraction and figuration have constrained painting to the notion of the "picture"–but that his realism is an "outward aesthetic" that exposes painting to the world as one of its concrete and literal elements. He has explained what he means by the term: "I call it realism because the aesthetic is real. Realism has a different approach than representation and abstraction. With realism, there is no picture. The aesthetic is an outward aesthetic instead of an inward aesthetic, and since there is no picture, there is no story. And there is no myth. And, there is no illusion, above all. So lines are real, and the space is real, the surface is real and there is an interaction between the painting and the wall plane, unlike with abstraction and representation . . . I think it is more of a pure experience" (R. Ryman, "On Painting," in C. Sauer and U. Raussmller, Robert Ryman, exh. cat., Espace d'Art Contemporain, Paris, 1991, pp. 59-65).
Painted in 2002, Connect comes from the distinguished collection of Keith L. and Katherine Sachs. Very much a collecting partnership for more than forty years, the Sachs assembled a superlative collection with great dedication, beginning with works from the 1950s to the present. In 2014 they made a promised donation of 97 works from their collection to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a gift which represents a transformational moment for both the institution and its collection. This gift built on an earlier donation of 15 works resulting in a significant contribution to the museum's collection of Post-War & Contemporary Art. The works are exceptional for the concentration of works by American masters such as Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly and Brice Marden, a strong focus on major British and German artists (including Gerhard Richter and Sigmar Polke), and important works of outdoor sculpture including Charles Ray's Boy with Frog. The couple have been closely associated with the Museum for decades: Keith Sachs has been a Trustee since 1988 and Katherine was an adjunct curator.
The sale of Robert Ryman's Connect has enabled the couple to make another transformative gift; the Sachs Program for Arts Innovation at the University of Pennsylvania, Recently announced, this program is the culmination of more than a decade of support by Keith and Katherine Sachs for the arts at Penn. These major gifts have transformed the landscape of arts education on campus, including the Sachs Guest Curator Program at the Institute of Contemporary Art; the Sachs Professorship in Contemporary Art in the Department of History of Art; the Fine Arts Program Fund and Visiting Professorship in the Department of Fine Arts in the School of Design. The Sachs' vision has been to expand arts programs across the university by integrating the ICA, the Department of Fine Arts, and the Department of History of Art and bringing outstanding artists to teach on campus.
Perhaps more than any other artist, Ryman's work was intended to be what he termed a "pure experience" (R. Ryman, op. cit.). His paintings exhaust verbal approximation and have been likened to musical symphonies that can only be fully appreciated in its entirety by being experienced in person. The beauty and elegance of Connect resides in its pure expression of the idea of painting, but not as a process—that would be too rigid, turning this magnificent work into a mere document of its making. Instead, to become lost in the maze of winding curves and mellifluous impasto, to follow the line of bristles into the blinding brilliance of vertiginous white, and then to be suddenly confronted by the smoothly gessoed is to be taken on an exuberant, intoxicating optical and haptic ride.

Dolphin Energy Limited announced today that it had reached the first of three major completion milestones for its Taweelah to Fujairah Gas Pipeline /TFP/ project.
Dolphin Energy Limited announced today that it had reached the first of three major completion milestones for its Taweelah to Fujairah Gas Pipeline /TFP/ project. Commissioning of early gas facilities is now complete at Dolphin Energy's Gas Receipt Station that services ADWEC's new power and water desalination plant at Qidfa, Fujairah. This follows extensive modification work on one section of Dolphin's existing Al Ain to Fujairah Pipeline.
Gas supply to the new ADWEC power station is integral to Dolphin's development plans to use TFP as a vital supply route for much needed natural gas to Fujairah.
In all, 240 kilometers of 48 inch gas pipeline will be laid over an environmentally approved cross-country route of desert and mountain - one of the longest and largest overland gas pipelines in the UAE. It is designed to carry significant quantities of Dolphin gas via Taweelah directly to the UAE east coast.
Dolphin Energy has been working with contractor PJSC Stroytransgaz on the construction of the pipeline. Although it experienced some construction delays in the early phases of development, the project is on track to be completed by the third quarter of 2010.
The next major completion milestone for TFP is scheduled for February 2010. This will mark the completion of approximately 127 kilometres of pipeline that extends from Dolphin's Taweelah Facility and ties in with Dolphin's existing Al Ain to Fujairah pipeline. This will then direct quantities of gas to the new power station in Fujairah until final completion of the new TFP pipeline.

Charles Byron Bellinger (November 21, 1839 – May 12, 1905) was a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Oregon in Portland, Oregon. A native of Illinois, he also served as a state circuit court judge in Oregon, fought in the Modoc War in 1873, and was a newspaper editor. Politically, he previously served in the Oregon Legislative Assembly and as clerk to the Oregon Supreme Court.

Early life

Bellinger was born in Maquon, Illinois on November 21, 1839. In 1847, with his parents, Edward H. Bellinger and Eliza Howard Bellinger, Charles moved to Oregon Country. The following year the region became the Oregon Territory, and was admitted to the Union in 1859. Bellinger received his education at a school near the Santiam River where his teacher was Orange Jacobs, later a judge and politician in Washington. Later, Bellinger enrolled at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon, where he attended for two years. He left Willamette in order to read law under attorney and later judge Benjamin F. Bonham, after which he passed the bar in 1863. Bellinger practiced law briefly before moving to the newspaper business and was an editor for the Salem paper, The Arena. He later worked for the Salem Argus before becoming a merchant in Monroe, Oregon, in 1866.

Political career

In 1868, Bellinger began one term in the Oregon House of Representatives, representing Benton County. The next year he moved to Albany, Oregon, where he worked as editor of the States Rights Democrat newspaper, now Albany Democrat-Herald. In 1870, he left the paper and moved to Portland where he edited the Portland Daily News, and the following year served as a prosecuting attorney for the state. Bellinger remained with the newspaper until 1890, but worked as a prosecuting attorney until 1872.

From 1873 until 1874 he served in the Oregon militia as a lieutenant colonel. During this time he served in the Modoc War during the Lava Beds campaign. Following his military service, Bellinger moved to Salem where he was the clerk for the Oregon Supreme Court from 1874 to 1878. He left the state's highest court to accept a judgeship for Oregon's fourth judicial district, serving until 1880.

Bellinger returned to private practice in Portland in 1880, where he remained until 1893. For three years he was in practice with John M. Gearin, before becoming a partner in the firm of Dolph, Bellinger, Mallory, & Simon. Partners Cyrus A. Dolph, Rufus Mallory a member of the United States House of Representatives 1867-1869 & Joseph Simon United States Senator for Oregon 1898-1903 and Mayor of Portland 1909-1911.

Federal judicial service

On April 11, 1893, United States President Grover Cleveland nominated Bellinger to serve on the United States District Court for the District of Oregon as the Judge of the single judge court, replacing Judge Matthew Deady who had died. Bellinger was confirmed in the position by the United States Senate on April 15, 1893 and received his commission the same day. He served as Judge of the federal district court until his death on May 12, 1905, in Portland, Oregon.

Family and later life

Charles Bellinger was married to Margaret (or Margery) Serena Johnson of Linn County, Oregon, with whom he would have seven children. In his later years he taught at the University of Oregon School of Law when it was located in Portland. Also in Portland he was a commissioner of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition held there in 1905 after his death, and as President of the Oregon State Bar. Bellinger organized the Portland Cremation Association, was a member of the Oregon Historical Society, and a regent of the University of Oregon. His ashes were interred at Portland Memorial Mausoleum.

Q: How to use TYPE_BYTE_GRAY to efficiently create a grayscale bufferedimage using AWT I need to create a grayscale image from data in an nio ShortBuffer.  I have a function that maps the data in the ShortBuffer to unsigned byte but is in an int (easily changed).  The method I found uses an RGB plus transparency color model and appears to be quite inefficent.  i have not been able to see how to apply the TYPE_BYTE_GRAY and modify the code.  i'm new to Java.  Here's my code:
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    final BufferedImage image;
    int[] iArray = {0, 0, 0, 255};  //  pixel

    image = (BufferedImage) createImage(WIDTH, HEIGHT);

    WritableRaster raster = image.getRaster();
    sBuf.rewind();  // nio ShortBuffer
    for (int row = 0; row < HEIGHT; row++) {
        for (int col = 0; col < WIDTH; col++) {
            int v = stats.mapPix(sBuf.get());  // map short to byte
            iArray[0] = v;  // RGBT
            iArray[1] = v;
            iArray[2] = v;
            raster.setPixel(col, row, iArray);
        }
    }
    g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), null);
}

TIA
Nate

A: Insted of using a ColorConvertOp, you could simply create a new gray scale BufferedImage and paint the original colored image onto it:
public static BufferedImage convertToGrayScale(BufferedImage image) {
  BufferedImage result = new BufferedImage(
            image.getWidth(),
            image.getHeight(),
            BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_GRAY);
  Graphics g = result.getGraphics();
  g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
  g.dispose();
  return result;
}

This should perform significantly faster and give better results than using the filter() method.
A great tuturial (including instruction on how to use a GrayFilter) can be found here: http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorial/Convert-a-Color-Image-to-a-Gray-Scale-Image-in-Java/33347

A: One approach would be to create the BufferedImage by writing to the raster as you are doing now. Once you have the BufferedImage, you can convert it to TYPE_BYTE_GRAY using the filter() method of ColorConvertOp, as shown in this example.

Scientists in Japan are aiming to one day build an elevator that can carry people and cargo in to orbit.
The idea of building a space elevator to bypass the need for expensive rocket launches is something that has been mulled over by scientists and engineers for years.
While the idea itself certainly has merit, finding a material capable of sustaining such an enormous structure has long proven to be a problem - as has developing a way to construct something that would ultimately need to be tens of thousands of miles high.
Now in a renewed bid to turn this idea into reality, scientists at Japan's Shizuoka University have been working with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to launch a trial mission that will see a miniature payload being transported between two cubesats.
This small-scale demonstration of a space elevator concept, which will go ahead next week, will involve a cable only ten meters long and an 'elevator' a mere 6 centimeters long.
If the test works however it will show that the idea of a space elevator really does have potential.
"It's going to be the world's first experiment to test elevator movement in space," said a spokesman.
It would need to be build upon thin and wispy spindles.
But wouldn't having thrusters on such a large structure negate the positive aspects of a space elevator? I'm talking about having the end most likely come crashing back down to earth since that's what most manmade structures in orbit seem to do. Though I suppose thrusters at that end to keep it in place might indeed work. But we're still dealing with fuel consumption in that case. How often does the ISS have to use its thrusters to keep in orbit, and how much fuel does it use? It may still outweigh the negatives.

On May 6, India's Adani Group announced it had given final investment approval for plans to build a $12.4bn coal mine in Queensland, Australia. The decision signals the group's determination to push ahead with the construction of the mine – known as the Carmichael project – despite fierce opposition from environmental activists.
Adani is yet to secure funding for the mine, which is the largest of its kind to be approved on a greenfield site for several years, but hopes to start pre-construction work within the next few months.
In a statement, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said the project would create 10,000 jobs in Australia and "mark[ed] the official start of one of the largest single infrastructure and job-creating developments in Australia's recent history".
To coincide with the announcement, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk officially opened Adani's regional headquarters in Townsville, Queensland. Palaszczuk described the project as a vote of confidence in the Queensland economy, which has suffered from a downturn in resources in recent years.
Environmental campaigners fear the mine will pave the way for a multitude of similar projects in the year to come, destroying the region
Yet, despite the financial benefits, the Carmichael project has faced staunch opposition from environmental groups. Campaigners fear the mine, which will be the first in the Galilee Basin, will pave the way for a multitude of similar projects in the year to come, destroying the region. The remote expanse in the outback is, as of yet, an untapped source of coal, but holds the potential to become Australia's largest producing region.
Protesters have been particularly angered by the significant public subsidies offered to assist in the construction of the mine, with the Queensland Government agreeing to pay royalties to the group after it threatened to shelve the project. The project's shipping route is also planned to pass through the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in Northern Queensland, which campaigners say leaves the area vulnerable to damage.
Despite the confidence of the announcement, Adani Group is yet to raise the required funding, with many Australian banks pulling out of the project for fear of public backlash. The commercial viability of the project has also been questioned, with the coal market already well supplied.
Julien Vincent, CEO of Market Forces, an environmental investment group, described the announcement as a PR stunt: "Announcing an intention to invest is a far cry from having the finance to do so."

Flora Footbridge expected to be completed this weekend
A major transportation infrastructure project will be completed before Canada Day, unfortunately it won't be the LRT.
The Flora Footbridge, a $21-million project, is tentatively expected to open Friday at 5 p.m. according to Coun. Shawn Menard's Twitter account.
"It connects our communities," Menard said in a Twitter video. "It has been a long, long time coming."
The 123-metre-long bridge will connect the Glebe and Old Ottawa East neighbourhoods, between Fifth Avenue and Clegg Street.
The NCC approved the bridge design in September 2016. At the time, some members wanted a better design, especially after the city was first considering a curvy bridge. However, there were constraints in the project budget.
Construction started in September 2017. All three levels of government contributed money to the project.
The project is running ahead of schedule — the City of Ottawa website states the completion is expected for the fall of 2019.
The bridge is named after the late Flora MacDonald, who represented Kingston as a Tory MP in the 1970s and 1980s and lived in the area where the bridge is located.

County and Municipal flags of Washington
On 13 December 2008, Alfred Diaz reports in the "Walla Walla Union-Bulletin" that the City Council of Walla Walla has adopted a flag last month. The flag is 3 ft. x 5 ft., blue with the city's seal in the middle. The flag will be displayed in different public places.

The City of Walla Walla is seeking designs for a new city flag:
https://www.union-bulletin.com/news/local_governments/walla_walla/walla-walla-seeks-design-entries-for-new-city-flag/article_b4b7ecea-58a8-5236-9fff-75bd9a6f5814.html
All but two city flags are left to wave in Walla Walla as the rest have been retired. Staff is searching for a new flag design and invites residents to enter their ideas in a citywide contest.
The first official city flag, as far as records show, was designed in 2008 by Jerry Cummins, who retired in December from City Council and received one of the two flags left, city Communications Manager Brenden Koch said. Due to wear and tear over the years, Koch said, city staff decided to have a new set of flags made that will present a visual symbol of Walla Walla's past, present and future.
Designs will be accepted from Feb. 3 to March 9. Artists can submit their designs through an online form, by mail or in person, according to a release.

The Packer magazine, the fresh fruit and vegetable industry's leading source of news, highlights Lead Technology's innovative Modular Feeding System (M.F.S.). Click here to read the article.
Europe's leading packaging industry magazine also recognizes Lead Technology's as one of the world's most innovative packaging machines companies. Click here to read Packaging Europe's article about the groundbreaking Modular Feeding System (M.F.S.).
Packaging machine supplier Lead Packaging has launched a new modular feeding system which is said to provide increased flexibility.
Introduced at Interpack last month, the system features plug and play integration of different types of feeding systems with basic packaging lines. The company showcased various machines that use the modular feeding concept and demonstrate improved flexibility.
For example, Lead Packaging's case packers allow manufacturers to swap a Beckhoff XTS cutting edge grouping system (reaching speed of four meters per second) and replace it with a more conventional feeding system.
Meanwhile, the company's MKH-4 high speed end load cartoner also offers similar flexibility of swapping the feeding system.
Beckhoff Ltd., a world leader in open automation systems, highlights Lead Technology use of the innovative XTS (eXtended Transport System) in its PL-50 case packer in the New Automation Technology Publication issued prior to Interpack 2017.

Pakistan backing out from the process that would have led to a composite dialogue with India is disappointing and unfortunate for South Asia.

The two leaders, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reached an accord in Ufa ...

The demand for special status has reached a high pitch in Andhra Pradesh with politics around the issue heating up.

The issue was propped up during th...

The resumption of the repression of Kurds in Turkey is nothing more than a consequence of the impossible task of implementing the Juppé-Wright plan of 2011.

Syria is winning. Despite ongoing bloodshed and serious economic pressure, Syria is advancing steadily towards a military and strategic victory that will transform the Middle East.

As bond rates widen between Berlin and Rome, ECB boss Mario Draghi faces a damned-if-you-do-or-don't moment. Either he reverses direction on the QE wind-down, or he offers the bond markets some serious reasurance about the Italian default outcome. In the insanity that is the eurozone, he cannot give either bearish signal. But to do nothing will condemn the euro to death. Now more than ever, it is vital that Britain cuts all ties with the SS Eutanic.
The time left between Now and Crash2 is going to be littered with occasions when no option represents salvation….only salivation on the part of the Bond Vultures. We are currently in the early stages of just such a push-to-shove incident.
Think not for whom the clock ticks, Barnier…it ticks for you. The time during which Michel 'Monsieur Non' Barnier can posit his idiotic ticking-threat to Britain is rapidly running out. And come the end of the 2018 holiday season, it could well call the Brussels Bluff bigtime before the UK's departure date in March next year.
Once again, two sets of bond rates in ClubMed are spiking in comparison to the cost of borrowing in Frankfurt. One is Spain following the accession of a Socialist government; but the faster acceleration is in Italy, where an increasingly truculent and disobedient régime – in charge of the EU's fourth biggest economy – is already looking to Mario Draghi's ECB for further QE support in the light of widening bond yields versus Germany.
Bear in mind that, in recent times, Draghi's fiefdom in Frankfurt has been the only buyer of Italian debt – given that serious investors won't touch it with a bargepole, and the sleazy vultures won't buy it until a irreversibly high spike gives them the fattest possible insurance profit. While you're at it, imagine the carnage on Wall Street if no insurance is forthcoming this time. And during the digestion of that can of worms, you don't even want to start thinking about what happens when the ECB is no longer the buyer of last resort. We aren't talking holiday resorts here: we are instead staring at the destruction of the Bankfurt Wall around Italian debt.
Claudio Borghi ( the boss of the budget committee in Italy's lower house in Parliament) has made his view crystal clear: a defenceless Italy cannot survive. "If Draghi leaves us to our fate, the dismantling of the euro will swiftly follow".
Meawhile, the German Bundesbank is watching events with growing concern, as Draghi's conundrum looks set to become a calamity . Today (Wednesday 15th August) the Euro has started to weaken further based on fears the Turkish debt crisis could give Spanish lender BBVA and Italy's UniCredit major problems given their huge exposure to Recep Erdodebt. Although the Bundesbank's Joachim Würmeling said investors shouldn't "over dramatise" the risk to the European banking sector from Turkey, this comes under the age-old heading of "he would say that".
This is turning into a perfect storm that makes the May Chequers "plan" even more of a capitulative farce than it was already. So thank you, M. Barnier, for turning it down.
The last thing Britain needs right now is to be tied to a currency and a trading zone that is facing far worse debt problems than those of Britain. And it has to be said, the mood in Bankfurt is equally negative beyond the graceful optimism of Joachim "Swan" Würmeling.
The Chequers formula is dead anyway. But we will never change our spineless grovelling before the fantasists from Brussels as long as a Conservative Government led by Theresa May and "advised" by Olly Robbins is in charge. The time has come for everyone of common sense and vision to look closely at extra-Parliamentary ways of stopping this criminal Administration in its reverse tracks.
