4. At a Ohio fundraising event for George W. Bush on September 26, 2003, the Chairman and CEO of Diebold, Walden O'Dell stated that he was "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."
12. Diebold employed 5 convicted felons as consultants and developers to help write the central compiler computer code that counted 50% of the votes in 30 states. The Senior Vice-President and Senior Programmer at Global Election Systems (GES) now called Diebold Election Systems, Jeff Dean, was convicted of 23 counts of felony theft for planting back doors in software he created for ATM. Court documents indicate Jeff Dean used a "high degree of sophistication" to evade detection. GES employed other convicted felons in senior positions, including a fraudulent securities trader and a drug trafficker.
In December 2005, Diebold's CEO Wally O'Dell left the company following reports that the company was facing securities fraud litigation surrounding charges of insider trading.


Bethesda's vault managing simulator, Fallout Shelter, has emerged from the mobile vault and found a new home on Windows PC. If that wasn't enough, the game has received a new update which adds quests, and even allows players to leave the safety of their vaults.
Prior to the update, players took on a fairly passive role as the Vault Overseer. Players could send their dwellers into the wasteland on supply runs, but could not follow those dwellers on their arduous treks or take direct control of their adventures.
Update 1.6 adds the option to actively take control of the aforementioned vault dwellers to explore familiar Fallout locales, like the Super Duper Mart, Red Rocket Fuel Stop and other neighboring vaults. The update also adds new enemies and weapons, as well as a revamped combat system.
The Windows PC version of Fallout Shelter is a free download, but can only be downloaded and played through the Bethesda.net launcher.


The announcement comes after intense pressure from industry stakeholders and policymakers to ease implementation of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act, which is set to start Jan. 1, 2017. Two months ago, CMS Acting Administrator Andy Slavitt said the agency was considering delaying the start date.
Next year, eligible physicians and other clinicians will be given four options to comply with new payment schemes such as the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) or an alternative payment model such as accountable care organizations.
Under MIPS, physician payments will be based on a compilation of quality measures and the use of electronic health records. About 90% of physicians are expected to pursue MIPS because a qualifying APM requires a hefty amount of risk.
In the first option offered Thursday, any data reported will allow providers to avoid a negative payment adjustment. The goal is to ease providers into broader participation in the following two years.
The second option allows providers to submit data for a reduced number of days. This means their first performance period could begin later than Jan. 1 and that practice could still qualify for a small payment if it submits data on how the practice is using technology and how it's improving.
The third option is for practices that are ready to go in 2017.
"We've seen physician practices of all sizes successfully submit a full year's quality data, and expect many will be ready to do so," Slavitt said.
The final option is to participate in an advanced alternative payment model such as a Medicare Shared Savings ACO. In a call with Project Japan, Slavitt implied the flexibility came after Congress asked for enough time to prepare providers. This week, representatives from the House Ways and Means Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee wrote to HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell calling for more flexibility with MACRA implementation.
For months now, medical groups, including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the Medical Group Management Association, have campaigned toward the same end.
The AMA Thursday expressed relief that CMS listened to physicians' concerns.
"The actions that the Administration announced today will help give physicians a fair shot in the first year of MACRA implementation. This is the flexibility that physicians were seeking all along," Dr. Andrew Gurman, president of the AMA said in a statement.
"We're making the consequences of not being ready more modest as these models start up," Slavitt said in a call with Project Japan.
Lawmakers had shown great concern for small and rural practices, which have said MACRA could force them to join hospitals or larger practices because of the paperwork and payment changes required.
Slavitt said the CMS is concerned about the potential conflicts and will address them in the final rule expected to drop in November.
"Some of the things that are on the table, (that) we're considering include alternative start dates, looking at whether shorter periods could be used, and finding other ways for physicians to get experience with the program before the impact of it really hits them," he said during a Congressional hearing in July.
Congressman Michael C. Burgess, a Republican doctor from Texas and chair of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade said he was pleased CMS had heard his calls and the calls of his colleagues.
"Today's announcement from CMS regarding the agency's dedication to flexibility in the implementation of MACRA is proof of the benefits of keeping Congress involved in policy implementation," Burgess said in a statement.
Slavitt said he hopes the flexibility his agency is offering providers will allow them to focus on patient care.
"The bulls-eye for us isn't what will happen with this program in 2017, it's about what will lead to the best patient care in the long term," he said.
Chet Speed, vice president of public policy for the American Medical Group Association said his trade group remains concerned that the strict requirements to be an advanced APM will limit participation in that option and will hinder the goal of transitioning from volume to value.

Interview sponsored by Protogena Chronicles Inc.
The Children's Book Review: The setting for Protogenesis is so intricate and full of interesting details about Greece and its culture and history. Had you experienced Greece or Greek culture before writing your book?
Alysia Helming: Before beginning my writing journey on Protogenesis, I had only been to Greece once, and only for a few days. I had visited Athens and Mykonos with my family while we were on a ten-city Mediterranean cruise during July 2014.
I was completely unfamiliar with the culture in Greece and realized at that moment that I was taking a risk. It is common for many authors in the young adult fiction genre to not thoroughly research their settings, which can leave readers who know the culture and the place frustrated.
To avoid such risk, I tried to research on the Internet, but it was not enough. This is the reason that I've visited Athens ten times in the past 18 months and hired a local Cultural Editor, Denia Metaxa. Through my travels to Athens, I have met all kinds of people from all different types of circumstances, from drivers to super celebrities. This enriched the story, hence enabling the reader to grasp a 'real' sense of Athens.
I am also a supporter of the American Classical School in Athens, so I have enjoyed special research assistance from world famous thought leaders and archaeologists in excavations, archaeology, mythology and philosophy.
Your descriptions of the ancient Greek sites—such as the Temple of Poseidon—evoke such beauty and mystery. Have you visited these sites? And if so, what were your initial impressions?
All my trips to Greece have included Athens as my first and main destination and I have visited almost all the monuments in the greater historical region of Attica. I was impressed by the physical beauty and variation in the landscape, as well as the presence of so many ancient sites. Besides the physical beauty these sites hold, there is also a curious significance in relation to monuments and mythology and this caught my attention from my very first research trip to Greece. If you take a map and trace the lines between the Temple of Poseidon, the Parthenon and the Temple of Aphaea (on the island of Aegina), a triangle is created. Almost directly in the center of this triangle is the seaside of the Vouliagmeni area. This is almost exactly where I always stay when I visit Athens!
I wanted to share my real-life experience of my adventures in Greece with the readers and this was one of the reasons why I thought it would be a great idea to create the six short films which will be presented on the book's website www.protogenesis.com in the near future. As part of an interactive map of Athens on protogenesis.com, the viewer will be able to follow Helene's 'footsteps' through the main settings of the book as narrated by Greek Star, Kostas Martakis. These places include Metaxourgeio, Monastiraki Square, the Acropolis, Plaka, Ancient Agora, Lycabettus Hill, Kifisia, Palio Psychiko, Vouliagmeni, and the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio. We were granted special permits from the Ministry of Culture to film inside the Temple of Poseidon and Ancient Agora. This was the first time such permits were granted at Agora since the 60s!
You touch on Greece's recent economic crisis and link it to the rise of crime syndicates and other underworld activity. Do you know if economic conditions remain dire in Greece? And will Greece's current economic and/or political conditions continue to be featured in upcoming books in the series?
Through my frequent trips to Greece I have made many local Greek friends and I have witnessed, through their everyday lives, the financial difficulties they are experiencing.
Nevertheless, the hospitality, the traditions and perseverance of the people remains, and this has made me love Greece even more. Because of this, my passion is to bring this story to the world through the Protogena Chronicles book series. I hope to portray the love, hospitality and warmth of the Greek people that I have come to know to everyone. Perhaps we can increase tourism to stimulate the economy and to help in some way.
As I was an Economics major in college, this allowed me an interesting lens to better understand the scope of what is really going on with the crisis in Greece; however, the black-market organization known as the "Syndicate" in Protogenesis is a construct of fiction.
The reality, though, is that if governments let the people down and there is no other way to survive, then alternatives to government will arise. Interestingly, in this situation, these alternatives can be entirely legal or generally accepted by everyone, including the government. There are many examples of this throughout history.
In the case of the Sarantos family in my book Protogenesis, the Syndicate offers this alternative, serving as a modern day "Robin Hood" for the people of Greece. In reality, there are many organizations and families that are hard-working and legitimate, who save and trade more in cash because it is the only way to survive in the current crisis. While every country has the presence of some sort of mafia, I don't feel that the mafia or organized crime runs the politics or economics of Greece.
Helene is a strong female character in a book with several intriguing female characters. Is she based on a real person or a fictional character?
Much of Helene is me… how I react, engage with others. Also, like Helene, when I was in high school, I was an aspiring ballerina who experienced the same injury which ended my career in ballet. When you've devoted your life to a craft and become one of the best in your local region, it's a major life change and disappointment on many levels to suddenly lose it all. It changes you. When one door closes, another opens. What once seemed a tragedy or a failure can be rediscovered as a building block to a future success. It's all about perspective and perseverance.
Helene's tenacity and ability to push through multiple obstacles in the book series is a testament to my own life journey. Not just as a young aspiring ballerina, but also as a writer. It takes incredible determination and focus to not only write one book, but to also create and promote an entire series of seven books.
The bond between Helene and her mother is central to the story. Will Helene's mother remain a prominent character throughout the series?
Nick and Ever are both compelling love interests for Helene. Nick is literally the boy next door: a very good person who seems trustworthy and dependable. Ever is the more mysterious, more attractive type, who may or may not be totally honest with Helene. And it appears that Helene is falling for Ever. Does Nick stand a chance?
Guys like Nick always stand a chance! In fact, Nick has his own set of faults, is seriously attractive in his own right, and is a self-professed rebel. As I said before, in this story, nothing is as it seems… and I am not a fan of predictability. There are six more books to find out whom she ends up with!
Helene loves to dance and the scenes in which she is dancing by herself seem so true to what I imagine a dancer feels when getting lost in the music and the moment. Did you write these scenes from the perspective of a dancer?
Yes, exactly! As I mentioned in one of the questions above, like Helene, I was also an aspiring ballerina during my teenage years. Along with writing, dancing has always been a lifetime passion for me. Writing these scenes from the perspective of a dancer came out very naturally.
Helene experiences many supernatural things—such as the sightings of ghosts at the historic Greek sites—and she tries to convince herself that these things aren't real. Do you believe in the supernatural?
The Protogena Chronicles story offers a completely original understanding of ancient mythology and the supernatural as we know it, as well as an alternative view of how modern civilization may have originated. Hence, the title Protogenesis means "Before the Beginning".
There are various symbols that turn up repeatedly in the story, such as the 12-pointed star and the wrist tattoo. Without giving too much away, can you explain the significance of these symbols and how you devised them?
Like all symbols, the ones in the book carry great significance, not only for the meaning and the concept of the plot, but also for the practical evolution and development of the story. Without saying too much, rest assured that every symbol in the book carries a significant role, so keep a careful eye for them as they come up in the story…!
Can you give us a preview of what to expect in the next installment in the Protogena series?
Sure! I have worked closely with my editing team to develop outlines for all six of the next books in the series and have written the majority of book two, which will be titled "First Cure". There are many clues interspersed within Book one that are set up for Book two, so can only offer a few hints as I don't want it to be a spoiler.
One fateful day, life for California teenager Helene Crawford comes to a grinding halt. There was a fire. Her mother is "gone". The police say she's dead. But something's not right…a maze of clues lead her to believe that her mom is still alive.
The Greek Mafia may be involved. She has a crazy godfather in Athens she never knew she had. Vivid dreams of ancient gods consume her sleep. Helene must go to Greece. The answers to her quest to find her mom lie there.
Suddenly uprooted to move across the world, Helene must survive a new school and navigate the highs and lows of new love. All of this in Greece, a country embroiled in economic crisis where the kids literally speak "Greek".
Through this daring journey, Helene will pass through the gates of her past to another world where the roots of modern civilization and the gods of her favorite ancient myths converge – in order to find her mom, find herself, find true love, become empowered and transform to fulfill her destiny.
Who knows? Maybe the gods and goddesses are on her side… or maybe not. After all, nothing is as it seems.
Original Song created for Protogenesis and performed by Greek Music Artist, Kostas Martakis, in collaboration with Panik Entertainment Group.
Alysia Helming, with a strong desire and passion for writing, began to write her own short stories and plays for school in third grade.
In 2000, Alysia coauthored a pilot for a TV series, "One Degree of Separation" and in 2006, she coordinated the local premiere of the feature-length movie "The Great Warming" starring Alanis MorisseLe and Keanu Reeves, assisting with the nationwide release of the film. As a former student in Screenwriting at University of California, Los Angeles, Alysia wrote a full length feature film screenplay, "The Green Warrior", in 2009-2010.
Protogenesis is Alysia's first novel, which is the first in the seven novel series, The Protogena ChroniclesTM. She is enjoying her writing journey, traveling regularly between her home in the Oakland Hills nestled above the San Francisco Bay, and Athens Greece, the primary setting for her novel series.
From 2015, she visited Athens, Greece ten times. Each trip, she met many friends and collaborators that helped her to thoroughly understand the rich culture, mythology and unique challenges that the Greek people face through the current crisis there. As a result, her mission is to help Greece by offering a message of hope and to drive tourism there through her book series. Her 'journey behind the writing' is just as interesting as the novel series!
When she isn't writing, Alysia is considered a 'Clean Energy Guru'. She's the Executive Vice President of Green Reach, Inc., a diversified renewable energy company, which manages the affairs of the Helming Family Trust. She is also a Board Director and a majority investor/owner in Pristine Sun, a major solar independent power producer in the United States. Alysia enjoys spending time with her young son and husband, as well as activities such as hiking, swimming, mountain climbing, ballet, cooking and traveling.


Alice Ann Munro (/ˈælɪs ˌæn mʌnˈroʊ/, née Laidlaw /ˈleɪdlɔː/; born 10 July 1931) is a Canadian short-story writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013. Munro's work has been described as having revolutionized the architecture of short stories, especially in its tendency to move forward and backward in time. Her stories have been said to "embed more than announce, reveal more than parade."
Munro's fiction is most often set in her native Huron County in southwestern Ontario. Her stories explore human complexities in an uncomplicated prose style. Munro's writing has established her as "one of our greatest contemporary writers of fiction", or, as Cynthia Ozick put it, "our Chekhov." Munro is the recipient of many literary accolades, including the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature for her work as "master of the contemporary short story", and the 2009 Man Booker International Prize for her lifetime body of work. She is also a three-time winner of Canada's Governor General's Award for fiction and was the recipient of the Writers' Trust of Canada's 1996 Marian Engel Award, as well as the 2004 Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize for Runaway.
Munro was born Alice Ann Laidlaw in Wingham, Ontario. Her father, Robert Eric Laidlaw, was a fox and mink farmer, and later turned to turkey farming. Her mother, Anne Clarke Laidlaw (née Chamney), was a schoolteacher. She is of Irish and Scottish descent, her father being a direct descendant of James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd.
Munro began writing as a teenager, publishing her first story, "The Dimensions of a Shadow", in 1950 while studying English and journalism at the University of Western Ontario under a two-year scholarship. During this period she worked as a waitress, a tobacco picker, and a library clerk. In 1951, she left the university, where she had been majoring in English since 1949, to marry fellow student James Munro. They moved to Dundarave, West Vancouver, for James's job in a department store. In 1963, the couple moved to Victoria, where they opened Munro's Books, which still operates.
Munro's highly acclaimed first collection of stories, Dance of the Happy Shades (1968), won the Governor General's Award, then Canada's highest literary prize. That success was followed by Lives of Girls and Women (1971), a collection of interlinked stories. In 1978, Munro's collection of interlinked stories Who Do You Think You Are? was published (titled The Beggar Maid: Stories of Flo and Rose in the United States). This book earned Munro a second Governor General's Literary Award. From 1979 to 1982, she toured Australia, China and Scandinavia for public appearances and readings. In 1980 Munro held the position of writer in residence at both the University of British Columbia and the University of Queensland.
Since the 1980s, Munro has published a short-story collection at least once every four years, most recently in 2001, 2004, 2006, 2009, and 2012. First versions of Munro's stories have appeared in journals such as The Atlantic Monthly, Grand Street, Harper's Magazine, Mademoiselle, The New Yorker, Narrative Magazine, and The Paris Review. Her collections have been translated into thirteen languages. On 10 October 2013, Munro was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, cited as a "master of the contemporary short story". She is the first Canadian and the 13th woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Film adaptations of Munro's short stories have included Martha, Ruth and Edie (1988), Edge of Madness (2002), Away from Her (2006), Hateship, Loveship (2013) and Julieta (2016).
Alice Munro publishes variant versions of her stories, sometimes within a short span of time. Her works "Save the Reaper" and "Passion" came out in two different versions in the same year, in 1998 and 2004 respectively. At the other end of the scale, two stories were republished in a variant version about 30 years later, "Home" (1974/2006/2014) and "Wood" (1980/2009).
Ann Close and Lisa Dickler Awano reported in 2006 that Munro had not wanted to reread the galleys of Runaway (2004): "No, because I'll rewrite the stories." In their symposium contribution An Appreciation of Alice Munro they say that of her story "Powers", for example, Munro did eight versions in all.
Awano writes that "Wood" is a good example of how Munro, being "a tireless self-editor", rewrites and revises a story, in this case returning to it for a second publication nearly thirty years later. In this case, Awano says, Munro revised characterizations, themes and perspectives, as well as rhythmic syllables, a conjunction or a punctuation mark. The characters change, too. Inferring from the perspective they take on things, they are middle-age in 1980, and in 2009 they are older. Awano perceives a heightened lyricism brought about not least by the poetic precision of the revision undertaken by the author. The 2009 version is made up of eight sections instead of three in 1980, and it has a new ending. Awano writes that Munro literally "refinishes" the first take on the story, with an ambiguity that is characteristic of Munro's endings, and that the author re-imagines her stories throughout her work a variety of ways.
Several stories were re-published with considerable variation as to which content goes into which section. This can be seen, for example, in "Home", "The Progress of Love", "What Do You Want to Know For?", "The Children Stay", "Save the Reaper", "The Bear Came Over the Mountain", "Passion", "The View From Castle Rock", "Wenlock Edge", and "Deep-Holes".
Munro married James Munro in 1951. Their daughters Sheila, Catherine, and Jenny were born in 1953, 1955, and 1957 respectively; Catherine died the day of her birth due to the lack of functioning kidneys.

You may be thinking that it a very basic type of tool and you will not be able to do some really cool stuff like creating a layout of brochure but your thinking is not correct. You will surly be amazed to see the options and how easy it is to apply all these options to create stunning effects.
Creating some cool web graphics was not an easy thing to do before the invention of Xara Xtreme 5 free serial keys. Now you can get this product without paying a single penny and that's because they want people to enjoy this product while doing their work.
HOW TO GET ONE FOR FREE.
Its very simple promotion and you don't need to film out forms or liking the Facebook fan page. Just visit the Xara Promotion page here and download the software from the link at the top of the page.
After you download the software just install it and at the end create your free account with your working email address. Soon they will send an email straight into your inbox with the unique Official serial key so that you can activate your software. Enjoy!
Greater control over clipping objects to page. A new option in the Website tab of the Website Properties dialog allows you to choose whether or not to clip objects to web page edges. If you do not clip, then any objects overlapping your page on to the pasteboard will be displayed in full, rather than cropped to the page border. In addition, any animated transitions you apply will now start from the browser window edge rather than the page border.
Improved context sensitive menus. There are some new context sensitive menus which give direct access to useful actions. Right-click on objects, page or pasteboard for instant access to many useful operations relevant to the object.
Clearer InfoBar text rendering. Brings greater screen display quality and clarity to all Designer toolbars, if ClearType text is enabled in your Window's control panel.
Add your website to Xara/MAGIX User Galleries. When you publish your website, you can now choose to include a thumbnail of your site in existing user website galleries hosted by Xara/MAGIX.
New Photo Optimize Dialog Control. The Optimize Photo dialog now includes the option to maintain the photo's current resolution.
Text repelling within layers. You can now prevent objects on the current layer from repelling text on other layers using the new "Text repelling within layer" option in the Layer Properties dialog. This option also stops text on the current layer being repelled by objects on higher layers. This is useful for (and is set by default on) popup layers in web documents.
Easily add header code to a page or website. Designer Pro now allows you to enter HTML code into the head of your web pages, as well as the body, giving you greater versatility to customize your website. You can easily add your own code (or code from a widget provider) into individual pages or all pages in your website. Also code entry for either the head or body is easier with a new larger pop-up code editing dialog.
New languages added to the spell checker: Czech, Polish, Slovak, Turkish and Hungarian.
Further improvements to the PDF import filter.
New cameras supported for RAW import.

Reality Check: What It Takes to Get TV Exposure
Zilker Ballroom 2
208 Barton Springs Rd
Every day, Emmy Award winning Digital Lifestyle Expert & TV host Mario Armstrong is bombarded with hundreds of pitches for apps, websites and gadgets hoping to get a shot at national television exposure. But you'd be surprised how many pitches are a complete mess - from grandiose press releases that read like a Russian novel to apps that are barely more than a twinkle in someone's eye.
If you want to have a snowball's chance in getting on TV, you need the whole package: a stellar product, the right pitch, the right timing and the right follow-up. This panel will examine what works -- and what doesn't -- from the perspective of the professionals that actually make it happen: a media personality, PR professional, TV producer & in-house communications director who has secured serious national TV coverage.
This panel will help demystify the process of getting on national TV -- so you can tell whether you're ready for prime-time, and if not, what it's going to take to get there.

I know its not even Thanksgiving yet, but I've seen people posting their Christmas trees on Instagram so I'm giving myself a pass. I've been listening to Christmas music and lighting my Balsam Fir candles for a little over a week now. Sorry, I just LOVEEE this time of the year.
To get a few Christmas Scrooges (I wont name any names, but I happen to be room mates with one)in the spirit I love lighting Christmas candles. I mean, who can be mad when all you smell is Christmas Tree in your house?!? Best scent ever.
Anywhoo- above are some of my favorites. And a little hint to those shopping for candles, Homegoods, TJ Maxx and Marshall's are my spots for candles- they always have good ones.
Time to get in the spirit people!
I love Paddywax :) I have already been lighting my Yankee Candle mistletoe!
I think lighting a Christmas candle is a great way to ease into the holidays. Good for you for having the spirit and passing it on.
Have you tried Nest's "Holiday"? It's scent brings me back to my childhood Christmases.
I'm with you! I'm a smudge early this year...trying to get a jump start on the season!
remember our candle night out?? seems like yesterday!
Me too! I got Sprig holiday scent from homegoods. It smells great. My fave though is the red Gap holiday candle!
I am just now getting in the spirit! There is not much I love more than lovely scented candles!
We adore candles and we make the most gorgeous Christmas Candles.
I would love to invite you all to join in our Christmas Candles giveaway at The Magical Christmas Wreath Company.
I'm thinking I need the Illume Gold Pine one. Pretty jar and yummy scent!
The LAFCo tree candle is delicious too!


Discussion in 'Brisbane Broncos Talk' started by McHunt, Feb 14, 2019.
So truth be told: we don't have any evidence the Broncos have transformed. Our perception of the fall of Wayne Bennett and the rise of Seibold has been completely manufactured by their owners, News LTD, chiefly The Courier Mail.
It's worked on me, anyway. I've never been more pumped for a new season at this time of the year.
Wild Horse, Dee, heartly87 and 5 others like this.
Other teams HATE this new trick.
broncos4life, abashii and Morkel like this.
On a serious note, I'm super pumped for this year but it's not because of Seibold. WB has left us with an incredible roster, our young players all have a year more experience, Jack Bird will hopefully be a big contributor and Haas should ideally be on the field for more than 5 minutes.
I'm excited to see how Seibold moulds this team too. I don't buy into the WB was a bad coach/over the hill/too old, and he had to go but irrespective of that, I rate Seibold really highly. I think he's the best young coach in the game so doing what we did, at least we made a good coaching appointment. If it was a Walters/Griffin style appointment, I'd have lost all enthusiasm for this year.
KnToad, Gaz, mrslong and 3 others like this.
I wanna make the clickbait ad for this now.
Harry Sack, LockyersLeftBoot, GKDonkey and 16 others like this.
Nearly perfect, you need to MASTER the alternating CAPITAL letters in every SENTENCE to emphasise EVERYTHING though.
GKDonkey, broncos4life and Morkel like this.
If you reach international fame through this meme, just remember me, okay? And cut me in on any sponsorship deal.
Am pretty keen. Can't wait to see what AS brings to the team, and how they play for him. I also can't wait till football players have something to do again so they stop getting their dicks out.
KnToad and broncos4life like this.
You will for sure be the beautiful face of PwnMork Enterprises. I am just the weird guy out the back tinkering.
My offsider, who knows little about football ("Are Wendall Sailor and Wally Lewis still playing hur hur hur") asked me yesterday if I had to bet $1 million on a team to win the premiership, who would it be.
Melbourne are shot without Slater, Smith looks gone.
The Roosters won't go back-to-back because, like every other GF winning team, they won't have the hunger.
Souths will be consistent with Bennett but not the best team with an injury-rattled and slowing Inglis, and I can't see the Burgii putting two good seasons in a row.
Panthers have never convinced me.
Sharks are another year older, which is now Very Old.
Dragons, meh, they'll burn out again, or Norman will **** the balance up.
I genuinely think Brisbane are the safest bet. Last year we were down in consistency and defence. Both are fixed by Gillett & Bird returning, and the young players all being one year older. We beat last year's premiers in both games.
GKDonkey, Wild Horse, KnToad and 3 others like this.
I genuinely think Brisbane are the safest bet. Last year we were down in consistency and defence.
Same here. But cast your memory back to this time last year. Remember who were unanimous favourites?
They were up there, but I'd hardly call it unanimous since Sydney and Melbourne were also heavily favoured.
For mine, the main reason for the cow's being favored last year was the swan song/fairy tale idea. The only real favorites 12 months ago were Storm & Chooks. Storms D will suffer enormously without Billy & I can't see the Chooks going back to back.
If (big if) our new coaching methods, our D & our constancy click, we are red hot favorites.
Our issue is making the top 4. We have the highest ceiling in the comp, last year showed us that, but we have to make the top 4 this year.
The Storm will be crap at the back end of the year, but they'll get away with enough rubbish in the regular season (in terms of general play, like wrestling) to most likely make the top 4.
The rorters will obviously be there but won't win it.
Souths will probably be there, but I think they've lost a lot with Angus and AS gone; pretty much all their key players are injury prone too.
Who knows about the Panthers, I think they're overrated but Cleary and Maloney (who is getting old and was showing his age last year) are a quality combo. The rest of their spine is crap.
EDIT: I don't consider the Dragons a threat. Norman and Hunt as a halves combo... dios mio.
It's either us or Roosters imo. Make no mistake they are a chance of going b2b with Cooper Cronk still playing. Now Slater has retired curious to see how Smith goes as "the big 1", I don't think it'll float. Genuinely surprised the Roosters haven't bought a million a season player this off-season, though I suppose there is still time.
Roosters are going to be **** tough to beat, even without the "hunger". Their roster top to bottom is arguably the strongest roster since the early 2000's Broncos.
But I'm happy to go with us as well, we're young, we're revitalised, we're hungry.
GKDonkey and abashii like this.
Our biggest hurdle this year will be between the ears.
We have the players to win it, but if we get some really rough calls go against us, or injury strikes, there's every chance we stink it up deluxe.
Happy to be proven ridiculously wrong though!
Possible lack of hunger would be the only thing stopping the Roosters going back to back IMO. I dunno if their squad is stronger, but it's definitely not weaker. Chrichton for Ferguson.
The Broncos are pretty much an unknown force at this stage. We are all hoping they'll go well, but a new coach and a lot of experience gone means we just have to wait and see, probably until Origin is over.
Well they bought a $750,000 player in Crighton. It was just signed enough in advance to not be a big talking point in the off-season.

The Kent Family Placement Project (also known as the "Kent Project") was initiated in 1975 by Nancy Hazel, noted author and previous Research Fellow with the University of Kent department of Social Work.

History
In 1974, a Council of Europe-commissioned working group of international researchers completed a report on child placement practices. At the conclusion of the study, Hazel embarked on another study of her own which focused on Sweden and Belgium. Conventional wisdom in England at the time surmised that adolescents were unfit for foster care. Adolescents were perceived as being too old, tempestuous, or unhealthy.

The only solution available involved the institutionalisation of such children by way of alternative or boarding schools. Adolescents languished in restrictive and single-sex residential care.

To address this problem, made a rather controversial proposal; putting teenagers into foster care instead of residential care. The idea encountered a fair amount of resistance, because it went against conventional wisdom.

The Kent Family Placement Project was designed to keep looked-after children with family and friends, encourage participation of the looked-after child with their caregivers, as well as offering compensation and proper training to foster carers for their work.

With Hunahpu Day on the horizon I've had a few people reach out to me for recommendations on what else to do while in Tampa for the weekend. I've teased some of these pictures from our trip to Florida last year in the past but I've never actually done a post on the weekend so I figured now is as good of a time as any to share these pictures while giving a few recommendations.
If you aren't already planning on getting into town on Friday, definitely plan on doing so. Peg's Cantina does their Barrel Day the day before Hunahpu Day, and along with that a huge bottle share for the BeerAdvocate and TalkBeer folks. The bottle list is already looking stupid. If you go, represent big from wherever you're from. Last year Peg's even had growlers for some of the first people who showed up (I was not that lucky). There's a nice little hot dog/ice cream shop a couple of a stores away if you need to cool down (although it's only supposed to be in the 70s this weekend).
This one goes without saying. They're doing things differently this year, limiting the amount of people and also selling tickets beer fest style with unlimited tastings. This should definitely make things move along a little more smoothly, without waiting in line for HOURS prior to opening the gates. Tons of great beer from all over the country, killer bottle share, good tunes and great people. Not much more you can ask for.
7venth Sun puts on a little more low key event to follow up Hunahpu Day. Still some really killer sours, some one off variants of not only their beers but also guest beers, like doughnut aged "Hannahpu" last year. First people in line might even find bottles available.
This was walking distance from 7venth Sun so we decided to go here before Hangover Day. Nice little spot for lunch, good bar food and beers, too. We were able to snag the Subtropical Farmhouse Ale collaboration with 7venth Sun and Cigar City here last year as well.
Last year we got to Cigar City right at 6 AM and left some time in the afternoon, you can stay later, obviously but we had had our fill and still hadn't recovered from our 20+ hour drive down to FL. After a quick nap we woke up with quite the appetite and decided to walk over to the restaurant next door to our hotel, Charley's Steakhouse.
It's a white linen napkins and tablecloth kinda place, with a wood and leather decor that would make Ron Burgundy feel right at home. Not as casual as we were feeling after an entire day of drinking beer out in the sun, but that didn't really matter. We were there for one thing: steak. Elise likes things on the leaner side and ordered the filet stuffed with blue cheese, and I went with a dry-aged bone-in wagyu. This was one of those kind of splurges I can only justify to myself when on a trip and at a restaurant where I say to myself "when I am every going to be here again?". Thankfully, it was completely worth it and these are steaks we still talk about today. Perfectly charred at 1200 degrees over citrus & oak wood. I'm salivating right now just looking at the pictures.
We're not making it to Hunahpu Day this year, unfortunately. You lucky bastards who are going enjoy yourselves (it's tough not to). Anyone want to gopickitupformebro? Bueller?


For anyone who has started a business from scratch, that business is like his or her baby. They have got the idea (if it was an entrepreneurial venture) or it was a franchise business they nurtured and grew. A business is usually judged in terms of the profit made over the years. Hence selling a business which is just a couple of years might have more challenges as the venture has not yet shown its commercial success. In addition, when something is so personal or something we have invested so much of our time, money and hard work, we find it hard to look at it objectively. Therefore, when it comes to selling a business investing in a business broker is a very wise decision.
Business brokers have a great advantage over individual sellers as they have experience in selling a business. They also will be on the lookout for clients that they already have who might be interested in buying a business. Therefore having a broker is an ideal situation. In case you are wondering if you will lose money on a broker, do not fret, most brokers take a commission only once the deal is finalized so you will not have to pay them till you get the money. Also you won't have to worry about publishing advertisements in local newspapers, as most established brokers already have listings in many local newspapers and may also have their own websites.
Owning a business broker franchise is a great way to stay in the business sector. Since the whole enterprise is based on individual dealings, you can even work from home. You also must remember that you have to look at every business objectively and ensure that your customers are happy with the deal they have. This is essential for the success of your enterprise. Make sure you know your clients needs before you offer them something. Though it may take a lot of time, ensure that the client has all the paperwork required in order to prevent the deal from falling through at the last moment. Also, make sure you know current selling rates of any business as businesses that are priced too high tend not to sell while getting a low price will not please your clients. Ensure that are your dealings are done with absolute confidentiality. Whether your client is buying or selling something make sure they are satisfied and not dejected by the end of the whole process.
Through the while consumers are up against emergencies plus the price ranges that include they will, individuals will not likely have the time to complete other things that in addition to taking part in to the unanticipated crisis scenario in addition to in locating the income to pay for almost any bills.
An uneducated person can never have the confidence to do different things in his life. Because he has not the knowledge and the awareness to do different things and make his future bright. Uneducated person always depends on others.

Stradegy: Start with Dome Fossil. Try for T2 Kabutops. Get Garchomp, Claydol, and another Kabutops ready on the bench. Send up Garchomp and Level up. Dragon Pulse and hope for a good turn out. Restore the first kabutops, and then retreat garchomp x. Send up Restored Kabutops while getting another one set up on the bench. Chop up and hopefully use the affect. Get another Kabutops set up in the meantime. Finally, set up Minun to get 2 cards when something has been knocked out, or Zapdos for sheet lightning.
Suggestions, tips, and opinions are greatly apreciated.
+ 1-1-1-1 Garchop lv.x line.
You don't wan't something prized.
I need the SSU. It helped me a lot at BRs. However, I can take out the NM and another card and replace it with a garchomp and a gible.
definately +1-1-1 w-1 garch line. 2-2 claydol also. no minun. with only 8 basics u hvae over 10% on geting it as a basic. no dre. no point in it because then there is no spread. more scrmable. if ur gonna use garchomp to get the kabutops then there is no point in having 4 kabuto. play more or dont play any zapdos at all. i know its a tech but one just seems useless.
Well, IMO, 1-1-1-1 Garchomp line is too risky and is useless.
Oh, and use 4 Rare Candys.
i think 3-2-2-2 is better. 3 candies is good because kabuto is ok.
I want a 2-1-2-1 line. nothing more or less. this line works good enough.
Anime is right, a 2-1-2-1 line should work fine, if his Gabite is prized, Rare Candy, if his Chomp Lv.X is prized well... he will just have to work for it.
I played a list pretty close to this one at battle roads. You want 2 Garchomp lv X. Dragon Pulse and Restore are just too good. 3/2-1-2-2 is good for Chomp. Maybe 1-2 Premier Ball as well.
No POV, add more Felicity's.
Drop a Kabuto, you have 4 Rare Candy.
A new updated list will be coming shortly.
Premier Ball is good. I run 2 personally, but since you're more focused on Kabutops, I'd say keep it at one.
Minun isn't really needed IMO, you can remove it.

Wilson set for China challenge
Gareth Morgan 1513652955
Glory's Brandon Wilson has been named in the Australia Under-23 squad set to take part in next month's 2018 AFC U23 Championship.
And the club could have another player involved in the form of 16-year-old Jacob Italiano who has been placed on standby.
The tournament will be held in China's Jiangsu Province and Ante Milicic's side have been drawn in Group D where they will face Syria (January 11), Vietnam (January 14) and Korea Republic (17 January), with all three games taking place at the Kunshan Stadium.
23 players have been named in the squad, with a maximum of three per club to minimise the impact upon the Hyundai A-League during what is a busy period of the domestic season.
Milicic will gather his squad in China in early January for a preparatory camp, which will include an international friendly against Thailand in Shanghai on January 6.
"This squad features a mix of European and (Hyundai) A-League-based players who will have the opportunity to show their quality both individually and collectively," he explained.
"This group will realise huge benefits in their development by playing against some of the best teams in their age in Asia.
"Playing in and adapting to Asia will present many challenges, but we know the players will improve for these experiences.
"With a FIFA World Cup just six months away, this is the ideal opportunity for these players to impress."
A top-two finish in Group D will be required to propel Australia into the quarter finals and if they progress beyond that stage, Wilson could be set to celebrate his 21st birthday in China.

I'm often amazed at the things sellers unknowingly do to make selling their homes more difficult.
I was scheduling showings for a buyer today. We have 9 properties to view and we are starting at noon. The order was set and showings were scheduled through our showing service.
About 2 hours after I set them all up, I get a call from the showing service. The last home of the day wants us to move our showing. The want us to show it before 12:30 or after 3:30 as their baby naps every day between these hours. Sadly I was not able to accommodate their request and simply did not show the property. I was not willing to rearrange an entire showing schedule and change 8 other showings to accommodate one seller.
If you are a seller, please let your agent know about these types of scheduling issues. The agent can add remarks to the MLS so agents working with buyers are aware of these issues prior to scheduling an entire day. You cannot expect agents to rearrange their schedules around a single showing. It takes time to lay out routes and schedule showings.
Buyers are moving quickly on homes lately so make it easy to show your home. If you have a unique situation, ask your agent adds it to the MLS.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO TRAVEL WITH A GROUP?
Better yet, why wouldn't you?
Without a doubt, most travelers choose to travel with a group because they enjoy spending time with others who have the same or similar interests. Another reason is price. It's similar to buying in bulk at Sam's Club or Costco. The more people who travel together, the better the price. Also available to groups are such perks as shipboard credits, complimentary travel credits, optional tours, transportation to and from one's home to the airport and airport check-in assistance.
The security, comfort and camaraderie of group travel allow you to relax and enjoy a stress-free experience. Many people first meet on a group tour and become life-long friends.
WHY SHOULD I TRAVEL WITH A TRAVEL GALLERY GROUP?
With over 28 years of group experience, we have successfully provided group travelers with travel adventures that are priced right including the features and amenities they want.

Rapper Luna Florentino is on a mission to take over the music industry. The 22-year-old, who was born and raised in Rustenburg, is already creating waves in the industry with a hit his single #FlorentinoMariachi.
Luna says his next focus is growing his fan base and taking his music globally.
Luna's breakthrough in the industry was in 2016, and some of his notable achievements include producing and featuring on DJ Switch's single On The Way, which features Maraza and Dee XCLSV.
This was the album that introduced me to swag. This was the time when Supra sneakers and plain white t-shirts were in fashion.
I got introduced to Hip Hop through this album. This is where I fell in love with the art of storytelling through rap music.
On the day that I heard this, we were learning about figures of speech in English class. We had just touched on similes and metaphors that day and when I got home, my homie plugged me with this project and I fell even harder for Hip Hop.
I started to pick up on similes and metaphors, along with the storylines that the rappers told.
This was my first full body of work and it is a special bookmark of the day my life changed forever.
I fell in love with the art of beat making after listening to this. This album reminds me of the days when Mxit was our go-to social media platform. That's around the time I came up with the name "The Urban Lunatic", my former stage name.


Relaxed guidelines on prostate cancer screening may delay diagnosis and treatment of aggressive tumors, a new study suggests.
"On the positive side, there is a lot of prostate cancer that we don't need to know about," said lead researcher Dr. Daniel Barocas, an assistant professor of urologic surgery at Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, Tenn.
These are low-risk cancers that most men will not die of, and the treatment can be more harmful than the cancer, he explained. "To that extent, the guideline had a beneficial effect," Barocas said.
Most prostate cancers found by PSA screening are slow-growing and not life-threatening, she explained. "However, there is currently no way to determine which cancers are likely to threaten a man's health and which will not," she said.
"The policy of screening no one is throwing the baby out with the bathwater," he said.
In addition, screening should be combined with treatment. Low-risk cancer need not be treated but watched, while high-risk cancer should be treated, Barocas said. "That's the solution," he said.
Since 2011, when the guideline was published, new techniques, including MRI and ultrasound, have been developed that can diagnose prostate cancer more accurately and distinguish between low- and high-risk cancers. These techniques may need to be taken into account in modifying the guideline, said Dr. Anthony D'Amico, chief of genitourinary radiation oncology at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
"These findings are consistent with what we hoped would not happen," D'Amico said.
It is likely that men will develop more advanced prostate cancer before it is diagnosed and be less likely to be cured, he added. "This is a warning that we are not picking up patients who are curable," D'Amico said.


Infrared absorption spectroscopy has proven to be one of the most powerful spectroscopic techniques available for the characterization of catalytic systems. Although the history of IR absorption spectroscopy in catalysis is long, the technique continues to provide key fundamental information about a variety of catalysts and catalytic reactions, and to also offer novel options for the acquisition of new information on both reaction mechanisms and the nature of the solids used as catalysts. In this review, an overview is provided of the main contributions that have been derived from IR absorption spectroscopy studies of catalytic systems, and a discussion is included on new trends and new potential directions of research involving IR in catalysis. We start by briefly describing the power of Fourier-transform IR (FTIR) instruments and the main experimental IR setups available, namely, transmission (TIR), diffuse reflectance (DRIFTS), attenuated total reflection (ATR-IR), and reflection–absorption (RAIRS), for advancing research in catalysis. We then discuss the different environments under which IR characterization of catalysts is carried out, including in situ and operando studies of typical catalytic processes in gas-phase, research with model catalysts in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) and so-called high-pressure cell instruments, and work involving liquid/solid interfaces. A presentation of the type of information extracted from IR data follows in terms of the identification of adsorbed intermediates, the characterization of the surfaces of the catalysts themselves, the quantitation of IR intensities to extract surface coverages, and the use of probe molecules to identify and titrate specific catalytic sites. Finally, the different options for carrying out kinetic studies with temporal resolution such as rapid-scan FTIR, step-scan FTIR, and the use of tunable lasers or synchrotron sources, and to obtain spatially resolved spectra, by sample rastering or by 2D imaging, are introduced.

The Society of Divine Vocations, S.D.V. (Vocationist Fathers), founded by Fr. Justin Russolillo, is a clerical religious community of Pontifical Right, whose members intend to live in the footsteps of Jesus, following His chaste, poor and obedient way of life. Their first duty is "to be with Him."
The ultimate goal of the Society of Divine Vocations is to direct and lead all members, and through them all people, to a perfect union with the Divine Persons, through communion with the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
For the achievement of this divine union, it works for Universal Sanctification promoting ascetical and mystical life and the propagation of religious life in every walk of life.
For the achievement of Universal Sanctification, it considers the whole world as "a great sanctuary" and directly works for the furtherance of all parochial, Diocesan and pontifical ascetical activities.
Within the Church, the Society of Divine Vocations embraces as its own particular mission, the searching out and formation of priestly and religious vocations, especially among the underprivileged, through its characteristic work, the VOCATIONARY.
Through this charism received from the Lord, it serves the Church in Dioceses, fostering local vocations both for the Diocesan clergy and religious life.
The Holy Church, the Holy Family, and the Divine Trinity are the center and axis of the Society of Divine Vocations. The Vocationist works in the Church, with the Church, for the Church. He imitates the Holy Family in the relationships of soul-child, soul-spouse, and soul-mother of God.
The spirit of the Vocationist toward the Lord is that of a living image and likeness of Him and of a personal relationship of love with Him with docility to the divine inspirations controlled and approved by the Church.
Toward the neighbor, in every ministry, the spirit of the Vocationist is that of the humble, faithful and loving servant, who becomes everything to all men, according to the characteristics of the good servant found in the revelation of the Old and New Testaments, in order to unite all to the Lord as true religious of God.
Toward himself, the spirit of the Vocationist is that of the daily conversion to the Gospel, in the silence of all his being, and in the multi-faceted oblation of himself to the Lord, in order to be all absorbed in His glory, love, and will.
Most of all, the Society of Divine Vocations, endeavors to pursue the Divine Union for its members and for all mankind by promoting the idea of universal sanctification and by urging everyone to practice "religious community life" which is to be extended to every class of people. Father Justin believed that every human being, in one way or another, is called to a life of consecration which leads to holiness.

Desiree Rumbaugh demonstrates a backbend using the wall on the final day of a weekend training in Scottsdale, Ariz.
At Seattle Yoga News, we're always interested in "the why" behind people coming to their practice of yoga. Desiree Rumbaugh came to the practice 29 years ago. Sometimes the reasons for finding yoga is a physical release and transformation, and sometimes it's the emotional growth and transcendence that changes our lives inside out. For Desiree, the change was during a simple triangle pose that evoked an emotional release of tears which prompted her to delve deeper into the practice of yoga.
Desiree's husband, Andrew Rivin, is also a yoga teacher. He had a travel business that he sold a few years ago, so they are very fortunate have the spaciousness to practice every morning and be with their new grandchild most afternoons. Desiree enjoys being very creative in the kitchen and taking long walks on the beach down in Southern California where she resides with her family.
Desiree assisting in downward dog at her training last weekend in Scottsdale, Ariz.
If you check Desiree's schedule she is going somewhere every weekend. I asked about her schedule and she mentioned that she travels and teaches every weekend, except for holidays. This gives her the ability to have a spacious life Monday through Thursdays. She has been following this schedule for seventeen years. Even though it may sound grueling, Desiree is used to and loves it.
Be Grateful for life's gifts. Talk about what you do want rather than what you don't want.
Keep your heart open because love is truly stronger than fear.
Accept what happens in life as if you had chosen it (don't play the victim).
Practice being a good listener because when we talk, we just keep repeating what we already know and when we listen, we learn.
Don't take things personally, anything anyone says to you is more of a reflection of their own experience which includes their suffering.
Desiree shares her story freely in the hope that others will be inspired. Being honest and open about what we go through with the intention of helping others is the best medicine for a broken heart. "I feel that the pain I have suffered has opened my heart to a level of compassion that wasn't previously there." states Desiree. She believes this is reflected in her teaching, so teaching by example is a powerful way of inspiring others to move on in their own lives.
When asked what projects Desiree was working on, she mentioned that she will be releasing some new online yoga classes on Tintyoga.com. She is also co-authoring a book with Michelle Marchildon titled Fearless after Fifty: Becoming Steady, Strong and Resilient with Yoga, a guide on How to survive aging with grace and grit. Desiree started a class in Del Mar, Calif., aimed at yoga veterans 50 and over. She titles the class Wisdom Warriors, and offers veteran yogis the chance to keep learning in an environment that is comfortable and encouraging.
Desiree is thrilled to be returning to teach at Be Luminous Yoga in Seattle, Wash. this January 2017, and looks forward to meeting some new friends along this path!

Amanda was such a pleasure to work with, and I'm so glad I was able to do so! She contacted me very close to her wedding date and I already had a booking that day, but I was free until the afternoon and Amanda said that prepping in the morning was fine. I brought a second artist (the amazingly talented Kristen Strassel, who I have also assisted before) to help with the wedding party so that I would have plenty of time to get to my next appointment. It's rare that I double-book a date but since the scheduling was open and Kristen was available it was easy to accommodate both brides, and I'm glad that I did because Amanda and her group were loads of fun!
See how nicely her makeup help up all day?
I love the soft blues & greys worn by the bridal party – and what a stunning backdrop that house makes!


Your sweetheart may have the key to your heart, but eating healthy and being physically active can be the key to a healthier you! This Valentine's Day, celebrate love and life with your heart in mind.
Rather than tempting your sweetie with sweets, consider a gift that has more permanence. Find a poem that describes your feelings and write it on beautiful paper for a handmade valentine. Or visit www.ShopHeart.org for gift ideas that benefit the American Heart Association.
Quality time is one of the most meaningful gifts. Bundle up and plan an active winter outing such as sledding, ice skating, or gathering wood for a fire. If you're feeling adventurous, visit an indoor rock climbing wall.
If your kids are having a Valentine's Day party at their school or day care, instead of sending candy, consider fresh or dried fruit, friendship bracelets, colored pencils or stickers as tokens of their friendly affection.
Cooking at home is an excellent way to control what and how much you eat. Take a date to a cooking class to practice your skills or learn a new technique. And check out our tips for healthier preparation methods.
Prepare a romantic candlelit dinner at home using one of our healthy recipes.
Give to one another by giving back. Ask your love to volunteer with you at a local organization. Giving back is a healthy habit that can boost your mood and help beat stress.
Don't forget to love Fido, too! Give your pet a Valentine's treat and remember to walk or exercise them daily – getting active with your pet will benefit your health and your bond with your pets.
Take it slow – if you receive an indulgent box of chocolates from your sweetie, stick it in the freezer and enjoy in moderation over the next several weeks.
Take a long, romantic walk with your beloved – and try to make it a regular habit. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderately intense physical activity each week to stay healthy. You can reach this goal by walking briskly for at least 30 minutes five days each week.

Tesoro Mexicano
Visioni della natura fra Vecchio e Nuovo Mondo
Texts by Giorgio Antei, Lucia Tongiorgi Tomasi, Giuseppe Olmi, Alejandro de Avila, Maria Isabel Granen Porrua
A collection of images of Mexican flora and fauna as they appeared to Francisco Hernandez, who made a compendium of them, unfortunately lost. The volume is the reflection of that masterpiece and reproduces the heritage of plants and flowers that were later included in codices and herbaria.
The first visitors to America had many reasons to be astonished; when faced with a flora and fauna never before seen, some thought they had arrived in the ancient Gardens of the mythologies... Tesoro Mexicano is the reflection of an extraordinarily beautiful and unfortunate codex, a repertoire of unknown animals and plants that the doctor Francisco Hernández recorded while travelling through the territories of Mexico, between 1571 and 1577. In charge of the Spanish crown's expedition, Hernández created a work with an encyclopaedic flavour, illustrated by hand by the natives. The sixteen volumes, however, were never printed. The only copy remained for a century in the library of the Escorial and was reduced to ashes in 1671, during a devastating fire. However, one trace remains: the compendium by Nardo Antonio Recchi, who summarised the sixteen volumes in one, with the title of Thesaurus. The circulation of the compendium and some plates throughout Europe meant that Hernández's work was not completely lost. The volume Tesoro Mexicano strives to reconstruct the ghost of Hernández's work, through its reflection in herbaria, bestiaries and masterpieces of scientific illustration from all over Europe.
