Electric Wizard and Spinefarm inform us it's "Time To Die" on Sep. 30th
Posted by Morgan Y Evans - Walking Bombs on Tuesday, July 29, 2014 at 7:32 AM (PST)
Electric Wizard have revealed that their forthcoming studio album, Time To Die, will be released on Sept. 30 via Spinefarm Records; Time To Die is the eighth full-length offering from the masters of aural punishment, and is testament to the fact that Electric Wizard continue to be the most uncompromisingly heavy, genuinely twisted and evil band in the world.
This will be their first album release since signing a worldwide deal with Spinefarm Records.
In addition to this, a brand new video clip for "I am Nothing" has been unleashed via www.ElectricFuckinWizard.com.
EW guitarist/vocalist Jus Oborn has said if the track, which harnesses the dark underground death metal spirit of 1984:
"It was the year I became a metal-head. It was heavy shit for real – there was no way you were ever going to get a decent job. So I became a Satanist, I dug up a grave, I got into tape-trading, I had a one-man noise/black/death metal band called Regurgitated Guts, and there were loads of documentaries on TV warning us not to listen to the devil's music…"
All official Electric Wizard pre-order bundles are now live on www.ElectricFuckinWizard.com, featuring limited numbers of vinyl, CD, T-shirt, back-patch and pin badge packages.

Technical death metal pioneers DEEDS OF FLESH return after a seven year hiatus with their 9th studio album Nucleus, set for release via Unique Leader Records on 11th December 2020 (Vinyl release 15th January 2021). The band's first release since the tragic passing of guitarist / vocalist and Unique Leader founder Erik Lindmark, who lost a battle with sclerosis in 2018, Nucleus features guest performances some of the biggest names in extreme metal to celebrate his life and contribution to metal. Vocalist Jacoby Kingston is joined by members of Pathology, Gorguts, Dying Fetus, Submerged, Decrepit Birth and more. With a mix of the old and new style of DEEDS OF FLESH writing, this album is the completion of a story that began with Of What's to Come (2008) and ran through Portals to Canaan (2013). The music was written by Erik Lindmark (RIP), Craig Peters, Ivan Munguia and Darren Cesca, and had been recorded and partially mixed for almost four years. When Erik Lindmark passed in 2018, vocalist Jacoby Kingston came out of retirement to help finish the album. Alongside long-time drummer Mike Hamilton, they finished the story arc, wrote the lyrics and made the vocal arrangements for Nucleus.

AUTHOR Karl Marx
YEAR OF PUBLISH 1867
RELATED BOOKS The communist, The German Ideology
SUMMARY & REVIEW OF CAPITAL
Marx begins with a point by point look at the possibility of things. What are they are how they are regarded. He perceives different sorts of characteristics. It's fundamental to recollect these all through, as use-regard is a substitute beast to exchange regard, yet we in general additionally adequately consider "regard" like it were one thing addressed on a retail cost. The model Marx starts with is that of a coat and of fabric. A coat may be exchanged for 20 yards of material. Anyway the use assessment of a coat isn't identical to the use assessment of 20 yards of material, for they are typically remarkable and fill different requirements. So use-values can't be used for assessment. Taking everything into account, we need to then consider exchange regards. So a coat may be exchanged for 20 yards of material or for a measure of coal or for some other product. In any case, by then the aggregate of what we have are a lot of relative exchange regards imparted, essentially, with respect to deal. One may pick any one product to be the standard by which all others are assessed. In the monetary issues of the time Marx lived and created, this was gold. We really insinuate the best quality level today. Anyway it might be captivating to consider what Marx may have made of something like Bitcoin.
In this manner we get to money. We see that money is an irrelevant thing anyway which is typically addressed by gold, and which is the techniques for exchange. There is a slight blemish in Marx's examination here as he says something that the assessment of money doesn't change with time. Anyway as almost anyone arranged in monetary issues or accounting will have the choice to tell you, a measure of money decreases in a motivator after some time. But in the event that you have altogether reliable state monetary issues, at that point the must be thought of.
From here we get to the possibility of capital. It is something that is unstable to summarize, as it is best overseen as a visual showing. The sort that Marx uses is by separating two interesting sorts of trades. One of these is what he sees as a precapitalist kind of trade whereby a skilled worker has a thing, sells it for money and a short time later uses that money to buy various products. Strangely, the business person trade measure begins with money which is used to buy a thing (C) and thereafter gets sold on for a higher assessment of money (M). In chain structure, the separation is between C-M-C' and M-C-M'. Where C' is a substitute product from C and M' is a substitute measure of money from M. Anyway M and M' are both capital. M is the fundamental capital and M' is the last capital. Truly around then, in Marx's examination M' by then transforms into the start of the accompanying chain of trades.
For those of you who have some fundamental accounting setting up, the thought is speedily conspicuous as the pattern of what happens when you push ahead the records of a sole vendor where their basic all out is generally implied as capital regardless. So in spite of the way that Marx is suitably seen as the father of communism, this is definitely not a distinctively progressive work. The way that bleeding edge finance managers really use his procedure is trademark that in such manner, regardless, his assessment was spot on.
One of the odd features of the book is that at various focuses, Marx endeavors to set that there are basic legitimate irregularities inside the industrialist system. Regardless, I expected to ask myself "what irregularities?" Perhaps it is a result of my more present day viewpoint, yet it seemed, by all accounts, to be that the consistent irregularities were simply clear when expressed in the particular way that Marx puts them. All things considered, it was deficient tending to and the doubts that went into those requests that skewed Marx's thinking and making the fabrication of an irregularity when undoubtedly there was none. One could consider Zeno's problems as a relationship.
One of the key thoughts that Marx presents is that of "overabundance worth". He gathers this by looking at the value that a worker gives to his work. At the point when the value gave is equal to the value required for the worker to live off, by then anything in like manner is seen as overabundance. By the day's end, if (to use the current expenses through depiction) an expert is paid £75 consistently, by then Marx fights that (s)he need simply work anyway long it takes him/her to convey £75 worth of items. If, anyway he makes this up in 6 hours and the working day is 12 hours, by then the business, the industrialist, gets £150 of impetus out of the worker, yet consumes £75. It is the difference between these two that Marx portrays as abundance worth.
You may contemplate, as I did, whether or not this was not simply advantage. It has all the earmarks of being a barely circuitous point of view on. Clearly, it isn't until later that the affirmation is finally made that flood regard is equal to profit. Disregarding the way that the model I used above was done so deliberately, as Marx reliably expects that movement of flood of abundance advantage is 100%. This assumption that is never shielded, anyway his assessment would seem to even now work if a substitute rate were used. It is essentially egregious that his choice of 100% suggests that a part of his numbers are viably perplexed.
This leads Marx to look at the abuse of the specialist. His segment on working conditions makes for quieting examining, as he looks at how much the industrialist system attempted to eliminate out of the expert each and every ounce of work to make progressively more flood regard (advantage). There is even a conflict made that work diminishes the future of the worker. Marx isn't currently talking about unwanted working conditions, anyway that the straightforward exhibit of work diminishes one's future. It's a conflict I found unconvincing as there are so various segments to think about that as a controlled test or study to choose truncated life has all the earmarks of being impossible. Thus, most ideal situation, it is thought.
Having looked at how capital offers rise to more capital, the request Marx by then posture is "[where did it start from?]" In taking note of this Marx re-visitations of his recorded perspective as grasped in the preamble to The Communist Manifesto. He battles that capital just arose through brutality and theft. While I purchase in to the likelihood that there isn't anything of the sort as a fair viewpoint on history, Marx is unquestionably far from it here. He appears to deliberately pick his verification and ignores a wide variety of various components. It is definitely not a totally counterfeit view, anyway it seems, by all accounts, to be over-delighted and truly defenseless against fundamental enquiry.
The rest of the book looks in some detail at various pieces of nineteenth century industry through the perspective of the above examination. The middle is naturally mechanical which was unquestionably ideal for the time that Marx was writing in, anyway as we are by and by in a post-present day age it seems, by all accounts, to be that a great deal of what he saw has now been conveyed tedious. Private endeavor has continued ahead and changed in various viewpoints.
It is thus that I would consider a great deal of Das Kapital to be out of date. It filled its need in a substitute age, yet one necessities to investigate it to find parts that are fitting to the current world. I would emphatically not ally removing the whole bundle from the window, as some might be allured to do, particularly in case they continue under the inclination that Das Kapital is a program for a communist economy. Since one of the failings (possibly Marx may have arranged this for later volumes) is that while the book is overflowing with study, he proposes close to no specific change. He says "[this is wrong]" anyway doesn't propel another alternative. Moreover the incredibly high focus on the advanced season of gathering has little bearing on an overwhelmingly organization based economy. He attempts to address organizations, yet is commonly exceptionally short and pompous.

I could live there without much issue, but I would feel very uncomfortable as I wouldn't fit in as well as I would want always feeling like I was a burden due to my lack of language skills. Can read to an extent, speak on the other hand is limited.
(2) is a Lie (as much as I wish it was true, and maybe someday it will).
It's not what you think. I've worked for two adult companies who created some of the biggest sites in the late 90's early 2000's before the free video phase too hold. My job wasn't to approve content (like most people joke), I was more at a technical level with the site programming and general upkeep of servers as well as the referral systems for webmasters sending traffic to our sites. For the record, we came down on them hard if we found that they had used exploits, or really dodgy code to "trick" users, or malware'd users computers (I had a webmaster do this to me at one point.. they we're with us for long after that). You'd be surprised to know that most of the stereotypes and ideas of what happens in the industry are so far from the truth that it makes what we actually do sound boring.


If you're someone who's never tried any hemp skincare product before, we recommend starting with hemp soap like our Sativa Citrus Soap Bar. It's a good way to experience all the benefits of hemp, without necessarily changing your daily routine.
Hemp Oil is one of the world's richest sources of polyunsaturated fats while also including two of the most important essential fatty acids Omega 3 and Omega 6, and gamma-linolenic acid. These fatty acids are essential in helping maintain the natural moisture content in the body. They act as as a wonderful all natural moisturizing agent for the skin. Unlike antibacterial soaps, hemp soap doesn't contain triclosan, which dries out the skin. You can even use it on your face and you won't experience that uncomfortable, tight feeling after cleansing. This is because soaps infused with hemp oil do not strip the skin of its natural oils. It's a gentle cleanser that leaves your skin smooth and moisturized.
If you're suffering from skin woes such as eczema or rosacea, hemp soap's fatty acid content can help. This is because it provides anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe or calm irritated skin. The acids can also help with breakouts by reducing redness and swelling.
If you've ever had a sunburn, you know how that first shower could be painful. Instead of using a harsh soap, hemp bath soap will not aggravate the burn and can actually help your skin heal faster.
Now, if you've got young ones in the house, there's no need to purchase another soap for them. It's safe to be used by kids and no, it won't get them high.
Try Hemp Soap for shaving!
Yes, shaving. Instead of buying shaving gels or shaving creams, you can save money by using natural hemp soap. Not only does it give a better shave it also makes your razors last longer. The trick is to use a good shaving brush. That way you can create a thick lather. Of course, you need to use a quality hemp soap like Quincessentials SativaCitrus Soap Bar to make sure it provides enough lubrication and protection during shaving. For the best after shaving care try our Quincessentials After Shave Balm.
Quincessentials organic handcrafted Sativa Citrus Hemp Soap is formulated with cold pressed unrefined organic hemp seed oil which is richly packed with vitamins and essential fatty acids making this soap extremely good for the skin. Because hemp seed oil has incredible anti-inflammatory properties, this is a great all-natural soap for dry or sensitive skin and it's very helpful for eczema and other skin conditions.

Home builders feel terrific about the future of U.S. housing.
As measured by the National Association of Home Builders' Housing Market Index (HMI), home builder sentiment reads 63 out of 100, which is a "confident" figure.
Builders are calling for one of the strongest spring housing markets in a decade.
The combination of the still-low mortgage rates, the rising cost of rent, plus an abundance of loans for buyers with less than 20% down have changed today's math of "Should I rent or should I buy?".
It could be a good ideal for home shoppers to buy this fall and winter, before the spring rush.
Home builders gather real-time, "on the ground" data as they observe buyer foot traffic and actual sales in their day-to-day business. They recognize real estate trendslong before economists do.
In response, the builder obtains new building permits and breaks ground on developments. Conversely, it will hold off on projects if foot traffic wanes.
Without the Housing Market Index, economists may only have access to data for planned or started homes. But that data is a lagging indicator of what happened in the market months prior.
This forward-looking report is important to economists, but can be valuable to the everyday home buyer, too.
Today, builder sentiment reads a healthy 63, just two points down from September's 2016-best rating of 65.
The report signals continued strength in the housing market.
In the NAHB Housing Market Index, 50 is the inflection point in the index between "good" conditions and "poor" ones; and November's reading marks the twenty-ninth straight month in which the HMI has logged north of 50.
Home buyers who have been on the sidelines should consider buying before the rush of spring 2017. November's HMI indicates the market will be strong next year and perhaps beyond.
The NAHB Housing Market Index is a composite survey. Its results are based on three distinct questions posed to home builder trade group members.
The housing market is strong on all fronts. Especially telling is the future sales component of the index.
This figure estimates sales strength in six months' time, or roughly April-May of 2017.
A reading of 69 matches the reading for one year ago. The spring of 2016 turned out to be a stellar one for the housing market. Builders are expecting a similar or better market in the first half of 2017.
The November 2016 HMI is also one of the highest readings in the past 11 years. The index has only surpassed November's level five times in the past 11 years.
2017 could be the strongest spring home buying season in more than a decade.
Builders are calling for fast home sales (meaning higher prices) next year. Home buyers should consider the effect of higher prices — and potential mortgage rate increases — on their plans. They can be on the winning side of rising values.

Europa satellite of Jupiter
Automatic translation Category: moons
Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons, discovered by Galileo and Simon Marius, who named it in honor of Europe, Phoenician princess was delighted on a beach in Sidon by Zeus transformed into a white bull. From their union were born Minos, Rhadamanthus and Sarpedon.
Europa is subject to strong gravitational forces of Jupiter. Europa is almost as large (90%) than our moon.
The Galileo spacecraft has revealed the presence of crystals on the surface of magnesium sulfate, which on Earth is found in the dry lakes.
The surface ice several kilometers thick hides an ocean kept liquid by heat generated by tidal forces due to its proximity to Jupiter.
Image: photograph taken by the Galileo spacecraft.
Europa (Jupiter II) Characteristics
Diameter 3 126.6 km
Apoapsis 676 938 km
Periapsis 664 862 km
Semi-major axis 670 900 km
Diameter 3121.6 km
Mass 4.799844×1022 kg
Surface gravity 1.314 m/s2
Average orbital speed 13.74 km/s
Orbital period 3.551181 d
Rotation period synchronous
Inclination to Jupiter's equator 0.47°
Discovered by Galileo Galilei,
Discovery date January 8, 1610
Underground ocean of Europa
Jupiter's moon Europa is characterized by a high albedo (0.67) and a fractured icy crust, composed of blocks cracked. These characteristics are the best evidence of tectonic activity both horizontal and vertical and a renewal of its surface.
The surface of the ice crust is torn apart by long and wide dark stripes that indicate intense deformation.
This surface takes the form of an extensive fracture network intermingled, which sometimes accumulate on the outskirts of hydrated magnesium sulfate and sodium (McCord et al., 1998) and / or sulfuric acid (Carlson et al ., 1999).
These data combined with geologic data, in particular, the presence of a magnetic field have led scientists to believe that these traces were probably due to the presence of an underground ocean.
In this false-color image, the brown-red represents areas of non-icy crust, resulting from geological activity. The white areas are the traces of the material ejected during the formation of the impact crater Pwyll.
The icy plains are depicted in this picture, in shades of blue where there are large grains of ice (dark blue) and fine-grained ice (light blue).
We also distinguish long and dark lines of ridges and fractures on the crust, some of which are over 1,850 miles long.
These images were obtained by NASA's Galileo spacecraft in September 1996, December 1996 and February 1997, at a distance of 417.489 miles.

Moons of Jupiter
Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system is surrounded by more than 60 moons. The moons of Jupiter were first discovered in 1610. Galileo Galilei discovered at that time the four largest Jovian satellites system Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
These Galilean moons called for, were the first to be observed except that of Earth. Today, thanks to space probes, we have a more comprehensive view of the Jovian system. This is the series of Voyager missions which helped lift the veil on the Jovian system by discovering in 1979, Metis, and Thebe Adrastea.
Before the space age, astronomers have discovered Amalthea (1892), Himalia (1904), Elara (1905), Pasiphae (1908), Sinope (1914), and Lysithea Carme (1938), Ananke (1951), Leda (1974 ) and Themisto (1975. Between 1979 and 1999, no new satellite of Jupiter was not discovered and it was not until October 6, 1999, for the Spacewatch program discovers a new moon to Jupiter, Callirrhoe.
Observations in 2000 revealed ten new moons, bringing the number of satellites to 28 after the rediscovery of Themisto, Kalyke, Iocasta, Erinome, Harpalyke, Isonoe, Praxidike, Megaclite, Taygete, Chaldene and S/2000 J 11. The following year, eleven other moons were discovered, bringing the total to 39, Hermippe, Eurydome, Sponde, Kale, Autonoe, Thyone, Pasithee, Euanthe, Orthosie, Europie, Aitne.
In 2002, only one moon, Arche, was discovered.
In 2003 there discovered 23 new satellites, Eukelade, S/2003 J 2, S/2003 J 3, S/2003 J 4, S/2003 J 5, Helice, Aoede, hegemone, S/2003 J 9, S / 2003 J 10, Kallichore, S/2003 J 12, Cyllene, S/2003 J 14 S/2003 J 15 S/2003 J 16 S/2003 J 17 S/2003 J 18 S/2003 J 19 , Carpo, Mneme, Thelxinoe and S/2003 J 23. Most of the 47 satellites discovered after the 2000s are small moons of a few kilometers in diameter, the largest accounting for just 9 km. In 2006, 63 were known moons of Jupiter, the record of the solar system.

A film by Jill Magid

*Language: English with Slovenian subtitles
In the framework of Akcija!, a cycle of screening events
Known as "the artist among architects," Luis Barragán is among the world's most celebrated architects of the 20th century. After his death in 1988, his professional archive was bought by a Swiss furniture company in its entirety, and hid from the public eye. In an attempt to resurrect Barragán's life and art, boundary redefining conceptual artist Jill Magid creates a daring proposition that becomes a fascinating artwork in itself — a high-wire act of negotiation that explores how far an artist will go to democratize access to art.
Director: Jill Magid
Producers: Jarred Alterman, Charlotte Cook, Laura Coxson

What is capitalism's relationship to art and legacy? Who or what is the law protecting when it allows for the privatisation of culture? How can art be a methodology through which challenging issues are dissected?
The writer, curator, critic, and founder of we-make-money-not-art.com Régine Debatty meets the conceptual artist, writer, and filmmaker Jill Magid to discuss with her the many issues her film The Proposal raises.
American artist and writer Jill Magid's work is deeply ingrained in her lived experience, exploring and blurring the boundaries between art and life. Through her performance-based practice, Magid has initiated intimate relations with a number of organizations and structures of authority. She explores the emotional, philosophical and legal tensions between the individual and 'protective' institutions, such as intelligence agencies or the police. To work alongside or within large organizations, Magid makes use of institutional quirks, systemic loopholes that allow her to make contact with people 'on the inside'. Her work tends to be characterized by the dynamics of seduction, the resulting narratives often taking the form of a love story. It is typical of Magid's practice that she follows the rules of engagement with an institution to the letter – sometimes to the point of absurdity.
With solo exhibitions at institutions around the world including MUAC, Mexico City: Tate Modern, London; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Berkeley Museum of Art, California; Tate Liverpool; the Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam; Yvon Lambert, Paris and New York; Gagosian Gallery, New York; and the Security and Intelligence Agency of the Netherlands, Magid has received awards from the Fonds Voor Beeldende Kunsten, the Netherland-American Foundation Fellowship Fulbright Grant, and most recently the 2017 Calder Prize. Magid has participated in Manifesta, the Liverpool, Bucharest, Singapore, Incheon, Gothenburg, Oslo and Performa Biennials. She is an Associate of the Art, Design and the Public Domain program at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University, and was a 2013-15 fellow at the Vera List Center for Art and Politics. An adjunct teacher at Cooper Union, Magid is the author of four novellas. Her work is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Fundacion Jumex, and the Walker Art Center, among others.
Production of the event:
Aksioma – Institute for Contemporary Art, Ljubljana, 2021
in collaboration with the Center for Urban Culture Kino Šiška
Film screening and the online conversation will take place as pre-events in the framework of Open Knowledge Day, organized by the Intellectual Property Institute and Today is a New Day. #openknowledgeday

Saw II is a 2005 American horror film, a sequel to 2004's Saw and the second installment in the Saw franchise, directed and co-written by Darren Lynn Bousman and series creator Leigh Whannell. The film stars Donnie Wahlberg, Franky G, Glenn Plummer, Beverley Mitchell, Dina Meyer, Emmanuelle Vaugier, Erik Knudsen, Shawnee Smith, and Tobin Bell.
The film features Jigsaw being apprehended by the police, but trapping the arresting officer in one of his own games while showing another game of eight people — including the officer's son — in progress on TV monitors at another location. It also explores some of John Kramer's backstory, providing a partial explanation of his reason for becoming Jigsaw.

The Shower ClearMirror™ (PAT. PEND.) is UL and C-UL listed (tested to CSA standards). It is designed to be powered by a switched outlet and turned on whenever the bathroom light or fan is on. Only wire the pad to an appropriate 24-volt AC (a transformer is included) or DC power supply (verify power supply source has adequate power to supply the load-see chart, see below).
Install the Shower ClearMirror™ to a junction box in accordance with all applicable safety, national and local electrical codes. All wiring between the mirror heater and the bathroom light junction boxes must be installed per the local and national electrical codes using a wiring system identified by the National Electrical Code. Consult local authorities for variation in installation. Avoid installation on exterior walls.
Install in accordance with these instructions. Do not install if product is damaged.
Use caution with all electrical appliances.
Do not bend, alter, submerge in water, or use product for purposes other than described.
If doubts concerning the electrical connection arise, consult a qualified electrician.
Tools needed: Flashlight, 2 wire nuts, 1 low-voltage remodel junction box, utility knife, wire strippers, regular screwdriver, tape measure, drywall saw or router, electrical tape, mirror mastic, caulk, and pliers.
Determine at this time if your mirror will be installed horizontally (12" wide x 10" tall) or vertical (10" wide x 12" tall).
For alternative Shower ClearMirror sizes adjust the dimensions for installation accordingly.
Horizontal Placement: Measure and mark 5" down from the ClearMirror Height.
Vertical Placement: Measure and mark 6" down from the ClearMirror Height.
The junction box will be centered in this location, directly behind the heater connectors such that they can be stowed in box. Write this dimension down to locate wire later.
NOTE: Consult the NEC, Article 551 for recreational vehicle installation.
The junction box should be accessible (not behind a 'permanently' installed mirror).
Be sure the power to the circuit to which the heater is to be connected is turned off at the disconnect means.
Insure the wall switch is suitably rated for the combined maximum lighting load and load of heater type. Calculate by adding total maximum wattage of each lamp holder, divided by voltage and add to specific heater amperage. Total amperage must not exceed rating of wall switch (i.e. 15-amp switch), circuit or existing wiring.
Insure wall switch and power supply (if not supplied by NewHome) is suitably rated for the combined load.
If the load exceeds the rating of the wall switch, either replace the switch with a higher ampere rated one or provide its own switch. If the load exceeds the rating of the power supply, use NewHome supplied Basler Electric 24VAC transformer as the power supply for the mirror.
Install wallboard as normal and make cut-out with drywall saw/router for junction box. Install junction box per manufacturer's instructions.
The connection wires between the Low-Voltage Class 2 24V power supply and ClearMirror heater must be correctly sized for the following ClearMirror sizes, watts and amps.
Install ceramic tile to edge of template. Template is approximately 1/4" longer and 1/4" wider than Shower ClearMirror™ dimensions.
Do not apply silicone or other aggressive adhesives to mirror backing. May cause damage to silvering.
Use an approved mirror mastic to hold mirror into place.
Place mirror into its location, pushing all connectors into receptacle. Caulk or grout securely into place. Hold or brace mirror in place until caulk bead dries and mirror is secure.
NewHome Bath and Mirror, Inc. and its suppliers cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper installation. These installation directions are to be used as a guide only while meeting all applicable building codes. Consult professional installation if you have any questions.
The Original and Shower ClearMirror™ products are guaranteed for a 5-year replacement against defects in manufacturing. Contact your installer for issues relating to installation and replacement. The guarantee is void without proper registration, installation*, or if product alteration occurs in any form. See warranty for complete details.
* Wired to a separate circuit other than the overhead power supply are acceptable methods for installation if all wiring between mirror heater and the power source are installed per the local and national electrical codes using a wiring system identified by the National Electrical Code.

India's Traditional Ayurvedic Treatments
With its traditions of yoga and ayurvedic healing, India has long attracted travelers seeking holistic methods.
By Sandra Ramani

Sanskrit for "the science of life," ayurveda is believed to have been brought to earth by Dhanvantari, the Hindu god of medicine, and was first recorded in Vedic texts some 4,000 years ago. It certainly has had lasting power. In modern India, locals integrate ayurvedic practices such as yoga and meditation into their daily lives, while using ancient herbal remedies to treat ailments ranging from arthritis to heart disease. In all cases, the goal is the same: to bring equilibrium to the body, mind, and spirit by balancing the three doshas, or elemental energies—vata (air/space), pitta (fire/water), and kapha (water/earth). It's an inside-out approach to well-being that is meant to put you on your own personal path to nirvana.
Mind-Body-Soul Spots
Bangalore: In India's "garden city" (now known as Bengaluru), holistic health center Soukya is spread out over a 30-acre organic farm with orchards and herb gardens, butterfly sanctuaries, walking trails, and a "reflexology track." Certified doctors and therapists tackle everything from skin problems to chronic illnesses using homeopathy, yoga, meditation, and ayurvedic treatments—plus vegetarian food made with ingredients grown on the property. Programs from $110.
Chennai: The son of noted yogi and scholar T. Krishnamacharya, T.K.V. Desikachar founded Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in the coastal city of Chennai to carry on the master's goal of using yoga as therapy. Each visit begins with an evaluation; then you're paired with a teacher for one-on-one instruction in healing yoga. There are also courses in Vedavani, an ancient form of meditative chanting. Classes from $30.
Kerala: This southwest Indian state is considered the epicenter of ayurveda, and the 109-year-old Arya Vaidya Sala—with its research facilities and four hospitals—is one of the region's most famous institutions. The clinic offers free consultations along with medi-spa treatments. Don't miss the eight-handed pizhichal hot-oil massage. Programs from $449, seven-day minimum.
Mumbai: Think laughter is the best medicine? At Laughter Yoga International, groups engage in eye-contact exercises, "playful" activities such as outdoor dance parties, and (yes) lots of laughing. It's not as physical as Ashtanga yoga—but you'll feel it in your abdominal muscles the next day. Free.
This hand-printed cotton Anokhi top ($19) is an option for yoga class.
For its organic teas ($3 per box of 25), Fabindia mixes tulsi, or "holy basil," with herbs such as fennel and mint.
Kama Ayurveda's Pure Rosewater ($22) uses roses from Kannauj and promotes a balanced skin tone.

Time flies when you're having fun! Kim Kardashian took to Instagram on Tuesday, January 15, to gush over her and husband Kanye West's youngest daughter, Chicago, on her first birthday.
The Kardashian Family: Get to Know the Next Generation
"Happy Birthday to my pretty girl Chi!!!!" the 38-year-old KKW Beauty founder penned alongside a black-and-white photo of the tot smiling. "The sweetest baby in the whole world! Mommy and Daddy love you so much!"
Friends including Jordyn Woods and Jonathan Cheban took the comments section of the post to share their well wishes for baby Chicago.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Sweetest Moments With Their Kids
"Happy birthday chi chi!!! One of the funniest babies I know," Woods, 21, wrote alongside the red heart emoji. The self-proclaimed FoodGod, 44, added: "Happy birthday chi chi!!"
Proud grandma Kris Jenner also paid tribute. "Happy birthday to our beautiful angel Chicago!! You are my precious ray of sunshine and I love you so very much," Jenner, 63, captioned a series of pictures. "You put a smile on everyone's face the moment you crawl into any room and you bring such joy and happiness into our lives!!! I love you Chi Chi 💕 #love #family #happybirthdaychi."

Kardashian and the 41-year-old rapper welcomed their second daughter via surrogate in January 2018, and the reality star shared their happy news in a post on her app the following day.
Kim Kardashian, Jimmy Fallon and More Celebrities Who Used Surrogates
"We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care," Kardashian wrote at the time.
Hours before the little one's birthday, the Keeping Up With the Kardashian star confirmed that she and the Yeezy founder are expecting their fourth child — a baby boy — via surrogate. Us Weekly broke the news earlier this month, with a source revealing that the newborn will arrive "in very early May."
"We do [have a due date]," Kim said during the Monday, January 14, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, before confirming that the baby will be born "sometime soon."
She added of the reveal: "Well, it's out there. … I got drunk at our Christmas Eve party and I told some people. I can't remember who I told, because I never get drunk."
Kardashian and West— who tied the knot in May 2014 — also share daughter North, 5, and son Saint, 3.

Luce/ACLS Religion, Journalism and International Affairs Collaborative Programming Grantees
The Luce/ACLS Program in Religion, Journalism & International Affairs (RJIA) is an initiative designed to foster new connections between scholars and journalists covering international affairs. The program currently offers collaborative programming grants for universities. This program is made possible by the generous support of The Henry Luce Foundation.
Luce/ACLS RJIA grants provide support to universities with strengths in the study of religion, journalism, and media as they pursue programming that catalyzes interdisciplinary collaborations and connects scholarship on religion to journalistic training and practice. The grants may fund a variety of activities, including new curricular ventures, public programming, or research working groups.
2020 COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMMING GRANTEES
Principal Investigators: Tracy Fessenden (Religious Studies) and Steven Beschloss (Journalism and Narrative Storytelling); Co-principal Investigators: Gaymon Bennett (Religious Studies) and Sarah Viren (Journalism and Languages & Cultures)
Apocalyptic Narratives and Climate Change: Religion, Journalism, and the Challenge of Public Engagement
Apocalyptic narratives of impending global environmental cataclysm and social collapse are a staple of climate change communication. Yet the power of these narratives to bring about constructive changes in awareness and behavior is less than we might hope. In part this is so because apocalyptic understandings of the world go to the heart of religious identity for many of those most resistant to climate change action. In response, the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict, the Narrative Storytelling Initiative, and the Global Futures Laboratory at Arizona State University undertake this multi-sited project, which combines a study of apocalyptic thinking with training in the literature and journalism of social change in order to reimagine how climate stories might be told. The project assumes as a working hypothesis that religious politics in the United States sets a template for climate change denial in other parts of the world. Activities over the project year include workshops, public lectures, sharable teaching materials, and essays and media on multiple platforms. The project brings the expertise of journalists, climate scientists, and humanities scholars to the task of better conceptualizing and communicating the world-shattering stakes of inaction on climate change by telling better stories.

Informed Perspectives: Innovative Public Scholarship on Religion, Race, and Democracy
The Religion, Race & Democracy Lab at the University of Virginia (UVA) is developing public-facing documentaries in multiple media on the centrality of religion and race in global democracies. By interrogating how religion intersects with and helps construct racial identity, and by exploring how religion is expressed, managed, and channeled in democracies around the world, the Religion, Race & Democracy Lab aims to enrich and expand how the public conceives of "religion." The project consists of three components: 1) "writing with perspective" workshops for UVA undergraduate and graduate students, 2) seminars with professionals in the fields of journalism and the documentary arts to provide inspiration and best practices for reporting at the intersection of religion, race, and global democratic movements, and 3) the production of three audio documentaries by three recent PhD students to explore the dynamics of religion, race, and democracy as seen through events happening in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Collectively, this innovative and collaborative production of scholarship on religion, race, and democracy aims to bridge the gap that has traditionally separated scholarly work from communities outside of academia.

Religion, Journalism, and Democracy: Strengthening Vital Institutions of Civil Society
Democracy and the institutions on which it depends are being tested today in ways unseen in recent decades. Populist movements are sweeping across the globe, while authoritarian regimes challenge democratic norms once taken for granted. Key institutions of civil society—the academy, press, and religious organizations—can serve as bulwarks that protect democratic principles. Notwithstanding their distinct missions, they protect democracy when they reinforce one another. Unfortunately, the gap between religion scholarship and the media is wider than ever. Journalists lack training in how to cover religion stories, while religion scholars need skills to share their knowledge effectively with journalists and the public. The Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict and the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University are spearheading an initiative to remedy these shortcomings. This project brings together journalists, religion scholars, and faculty from multiple disciplines to participate in workshops, seminars, and courses in which they will exchange insights and expertise from their respective fields. The project bolsters the voices of journalists and scholars while also exploring how religious actors and organizations contribute to democratic culture—locally, nationally, and as part of global civil society.
Principal Investigators: Elizabeth Shakman Hurd (Political Science) and Brannon D. Ingram (Religious Studies)
Talking "Religion": Publics, Politics, and the Media
This project—Talking "Religion": Publics, Politics, and the Media—is motivated by two overarching and intersecting questions: How can scholars and journalists doing cutting-edge work on religion, politics, and public life communicate their findings to, and learn from, each other? And how can they communicate their work and its insights to a variety of public audiences in a way that is accessible and appealing without sacrificing nuance and complexity? With this grant, Northwestern University is establishing a basis for sustained collaboration and exchange between Northwestern faculty in the humanities and social sciences and faculty in journalism, and between both faculties and the public at large. This mutually beneficial collaboration provides scholars of religion with new avenues for publicizing their work, and offers journalists new ways of understanding, theorizing, and conceptualizing religion in their reporting. This is being carried out through a range of programs: a workshop on "talking religion," a master class on religion and the media, visiting speakers, a team-taught undergraduate course, and graduate religion and media fellowships. These activities build on and expand connections that have already been fostered between scholars in the humanities and social sciences and journalism faculty by Northwestern's interdisciplinary research group, Global Politics and Religion, within the Buffett Institute for Global Studies.
Principal Investigators: Susan B. Ridgely (Religious Studies) and Michael W. Wagner (Journalism)
Interactive Skill Building to Improve Religious and International Affairs Storytelling in Local Journalism
In an era when religion has a vital role in foreign and domestic policy, religious studies scholars and journalism professors alike often feel frustrated with the superficial reporting on issues involving religion and international relations in local news coverage because it impedes citizens' ability to thoroughly understand how religious beliefs and practices influence multiple levels of policymaking. This Luce/ACLS grant supports a two-year series of workshops to address these issues. The workshops are alternately led by School of Journalism and Mass Communication (SJMC) faculty and religious studies faculty and offer local journalists as well as SJMC faculty and graduate students a deeper understanding of how religious beliefs and practices are influencing the actors in national and international events. Simultaneously, religious studies faculty learn journalistic techniques of story writing to develop their op-ed writing ability, foster connections with various local journalists, and learn to be effective sources for stories about international affairs. Each academic year will end with two mini-conferences in which faculty experts will work together to foster interdisciplinary research collaboration, curricular development in the SJMC's MA reporting program, and improved depth and breadth of reporting about religion and international affairs among local journalists.
Principal Investigators: Katherine Pratt Ewing, Religious Studies, and Alexander Stille, Journalism
Sufis, Salafis, and the Public Square
This project examines whether there has been an implicit deal between authoritarian regimes and Salafist movements in countries where Sufism is being crowded out by heavily funded forms of Salafism and other forms of anti-Sufi Islam. Ewing and Stille are investigating the eclipse of Sufism within the contemporary political context of four Muslim countries, three of which (Algeria, Morocco, and Mauritania) are characterized by authoritarian regimes aiming to fend off violent jihadism and a fourth, Senegal, in which a democratic government actively supports Sufism but is also concerned with the increasing influence of Salafism. The project draws Columbia University's Institute for Religion, Culture and Public Life (IRCPL) and Journalism School into a collaboration that engages students and local researchers in collecting oral histories of variously oriented Sunnis and members of government under the joint supervision of Professors Stille and Ewing. Our goals are to produce a significant publically available database of oral histories; a long piece of narrative journalism by Stille that would bring the fruit of this work to a larger public; a volume of oral histories edited by Ewing that would target policy makers, students, and the public; and articles by Ewing that would address a scholarly audience.
Principal Investigator: Elaine Monaghan, Journalism
Perceptions of Religion
This project draws on Indiana University's area and international studies experts, media and religion scholars, journalism practitioners, media school resources, and its rich research capabilities with the goal of improving journalism practice, scholarship, and public understanding of religion and its role in international affairs. The multi-disciplinary project team will examine case studies taken directly from ongoing and past media coverage to identify examples of best practice, evaluate observed patterns and establish a new set of journalistic standards. These cases include coverage of disagreements about reproductive rights, prayer in schools, depictions of minority religions, the role of religion in environmentalism or connections between religion and political violence. Over the course of this two-year project, the project team will launch a new undergraduate overseas course, design collaborative curricular units and convene scholars at the university to examine how media practitioners can do a better job of reporting, understanding and portraying complex stories with religious themes or components.
Principal Investigator: Elizabeth Bucar, Religious Studies
Reporting Religion
Building on Northeastern University's strength in experiential and global education, this two-part project fosters greater collaboration between religious studies and journalism. The first project develops an experiential embedded course for journalism students called "Reporting Religion." This course, which will be focused in its first iteration on Islam and Christianity in Spain, will be co-taught by religious studies and journalism faculty and integrate a week-long study abroad program into a semester course. This will allow journalism students to gain targeted religious literacy by 1) completing coursework on multiple religious traditions, 2) reviewing critical studies of journalist coverage of religion in international affairs, 3) applying this knowledge during an on-the-ground international reporting project, and 4) unpacking this embedded global experience upon returning to campus. The second project encourages greater interactions between scholars of religion and journalists covering international affairs through a public workshop (working title "Reporting on religion: Reinventing how journalists and scholars communicate"). The workshop brings together faculty and working journalists in the New England area. Through a series of breakout sessions and short panel presentations, the goal of the workshop is to highlight various dimensions of scholarly expertise in religious studies relevant to journalists covering international affairs, as well as improve scholars' abilities to translate their expertise to a broader audience.


Corbin Police are investigating after receiving a complaint of a suspicious man outside the playground at Corbin Preschool.
Superintendent Dave Cox said one of the school system's school resource officers, was called to the school on Master Street at about 11 a.m. after teachers noticed the man.
"The adult male had driven by the playground area multiple times before parking his car and walking down the sidewalk near the playground.
The playground is a fenced area on the side of the building that faces Vaughn Ave.
"He didn't make contact with anyone," Cox said of the individual.
Cox said the individual did not attempt to enter the playground area of the building or the building itself.
There is a gate to the playground area, but Cox said it has a large padlock keeping it shut.
"There is no access to that area other than going through the building," Cox said.
Cox said the teachers quickly ushered the children back inside the building.
Police were on scene within approximately two minutes, by which time the individual was gone.
Cox said video surveillance was provided to police.
