Rocha do Fungo ou Rocha do General (em maltês Il-Ġebla tal-Ġeneral, em inglês Fungus Rock), é uma pequena ilhota de calcário de 60 metros de altura na entrada da lagoa negra circular em Dwejra, na ilha de Gozo nas Ilhas Maltesas, pertencentes a Malta. Encontra-se sob jurisdição da cidade de San Lawrenz.

Um general da Ordem Soberana e Militar de Malta aparentemente descobriu um estranho tubérculo, Fucus coccineus melitensis, conhecido como "fungo de Malta" e erroneamente chamado de fungo, que crescia na zona plana alta da rocha. Acreditava-se que essa planta de cheiro repulsivo possuía propriedades medicinais e os cavaleiros da Ordem utilizaram-na como hemostático para feridas e como cura para a diarreia. Era tão apreciada que chegou a ser oferecida como um precioso presente para nobres ilustres e visitantes das ilhas de Malta. O Grão-mestre Manuel Pinto da Fonseca decretou a o rochedo fora dos limites em 1746 (invasores eram punidos com três anos nas galés da Ordem), colocou uma guarda permanentemente lá e até mesmo construiu uma precária cesta suspensa por cabos da rocha para o continente, 50 metros distante dali.

Mais tarde descobriu-se que esses esforços foram em vão, já que a Fucus coccineus melitensis não possui nenhuma propriedade medicinal.

A Rocha do Fungo é actualmente uma reserva natural, mas a costa que lhe é próxima é acessível aos banhistas e o mar é ideal para a prática de mergulho.

Monday Morning Quarterback 2019-2020 Issue 7 Upon Further Review
With Basingstoke missing four players (Harrison Cliff, Reuben Collins, Ben Wright and Aaron Kuhl) all through injury and Zach Robinson out because of illness, we were still able to extend our unbeaten run to six games.
More importantly we secured our second league win of the season, which took us up four places to 15th in the division.
In a pulsating first-half performance it was again pace that forced Melksham to give way numerous corners. Our first two goals resulted from these corners and we also missed a free header from another corner prior to Mikey Davis's goal.
However, we were also at fault for Melksham's goals, as we failed to properly clear our lines, winning the first ball, needs to be followed up by winning the second ball too, but in the end despite all the second-half pressure from Melksham, we secured the three-points from Dean Stow's second of the game, this one from the penalty spot.
Stow's first, was another one of those dead-ball free-kicks, which he is well known for and which the keeper was unable to stop. Stow my man-of-the-match also made a very important last ditch tackle with just a few minutes to go.
But that's not to say the rest of the Stoke team, didn't put a shift in as the second-half saw many heavy Melksham tackles where our players were first to the ball in a competitive midfield battle.
There was a lot of talk about the referee, who had a tough game as he tried to keep a lid on a match that could have boiled over in a match that could have exploded into a brawl. I know our fans were calling for more red cards and they were probably justified in some respects.
Also, I see no difference from the late goal-keeping challenge that took out Andrady, than the one that Rackley did in the cup match against Moneyfields. Chris got a straight red, whilst Melksham's keeper didn't appear to even get a yellow card.
It will be interesting to see how Melksham go about next weeks FA Trophy match, with the fact that they could face a significantly different starting line-up next week.
But that match is six days away and we will saviour this win for a day or so first.
Ok let's take a look at the rest of the league this weekend, starting with the nine games on Saturday.
There were goals aplenty in a few games, starting with Thatcham Town who took 30 minutes to break the deadlock at AFC Totton, only to add a further r five as they ran out 0-6 winners and moved back to the top of the table. A pair of goals by Felipe Barcelos, with fellow forwards Kyle Tooze, James Tennant and George Jeacock all adding goals with ex-Stoke defender Matt Partridge adding one as well.
Thatcham replaced Paulton Rovers who lost 0-1 at promotion chasing Slimbridge. The only goal of the game was on 51 mins by midfielder Jack Horrell. Slimbridge moved into 5th place with the win.
In third are Frome Town who fought out a 2-2 draw on the road at Larkhall. The home side took an early lead before being pegged back and then falling behind to a late goal by Frome's Kane Simpson. However, Frome's joy was short-lived as an 87th minute equaliser by defender Michael Baker split the points.
The tenth game of the weekend was Sunday's match at Evesham Utd who held onto fourth place with a tight 1-0 win against Willand Rovers. The only goal was on 47 mins by forward Paul Sullivan. Willand Rovers with the loss dropped back into the relegation zone to 18th place.
The top of the table now looks like this;
The Top Five in Our League
TEAM PLD WON DRAWN LOST PTS
Thatcham Town 9 7 2 0 23
Paulton Rovers 10 7 1 2 22
Frome Town 11 6 4 1 22
Evesham United 10 6 2 2 20
Slimbridge 9 6 0 3 18
The Division One South league goal-scoring chart remains the same as last week according to the Bet Victor website
Player Team League Goals
Ben Bament Paulton Rovers 11
Jonathan Davies Frome Town 7
Simba Mlambo Winchester City 7
Thomas Hillman Mangotsfield Town 6
Lee Chilton Evesham Utd 6
Kyle Tooze Thatcham Town 6
Ok at the bottom of the table and with us moving out of the bottom five on goal difference, our win pushed Melksham down into 17th place.
Barnstaple Town stay rooted at the bottom of the table after taking a thumping at home to Winchester City 1-6. A hat-trick inside an hour by 29-year old forward Simba Mlambo was added to by midfielders Ilk Hill, Jamie Barron and Robert Carr, who added a goal each.
The other team in the relegation zone are Sholing despite winning 3-2 at home against Bideford. The Robins raced into a two-nil lead inside 7 minutes before Sholing started the fight back on the half-hour, with two goals in 3 minutes by forwards Stuart Green and Lewis Wort. They then took all three points with Stuart Green's second goal of the game with just seven minutes left to play. Sholing remain below Basingstoke by the fact that we have scored more league goals than them.
There were three other games in the league that didn't affect the top of the bottom of the tables. These were Bristol Manor Farms 1-0 win against Moneyfields. Cinderford Town who lost at home to Highworth Town 1-2 and last weeks opponents Cirencester, who thumped Mangotsfield 5-0. The Field since our draw in Bristol earlier this month, have now lost 4-0 and 5-0 and have started to slip down the league.

Barnstaple Town vs Paulton Rovers
Highworth Town vs Bristol Manor Farm
The FA Trophy match preview will be later this week.

After President Donald Trump's inauguration, Mexico saw a wave of angry protests against his proposed border wall, with more than 20,000 marching in Mexico City on Feb. 12, chanting "Pay for your own wall!" But now this wave of anger is crystalizing around concrete legal initiatives that could be very problematic for the White House. First, the front-runner for next year's Mexican presidential election, the left-populist Andres Manuel López Obrador, has filed a complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights against the proposed wall.
A federal judge on Oct. 25 ordered (PDF) Arizona's Sheriff Joe Arpaio to be tried on a charge of criminal contempt. Judge Susan Bolton of the US District Court for the District of Arizona made the order after determining that Arpaio disobeyed a court order in a racial profiling case. This comes after Judge G Murray Snow requested that the US Attorney's Office file criminal contempt charges against Arpaio. The criminal contempt charges are a result of a 2007 lawsuit claiming that Arpaio discriminated against Latinos in his enforcement of his immigration patrols. Bolton found that Snow had prohibited Arpaio from enforcing his immigration patrols, in which persons were detained without state charges, but that Arpaio continued to detain such persons and deliver them to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement when there were no charges to bring. Bolton ordered Arpaio's trial for Dec. 6 in Phoenix. The charges against Arpaio could result in fines or prison time if he is convicted.
Members of the San Carlos Apache tribe returned to Arizona this week after traveling to Washington DC to protest the proposed Resolution Copper Mine near Superior, Ariz. A land swap to facilitate the project got federal approval last December, when it was added to the National Defense Authorization Act, although a bill sponsored by Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) aims to repeal that section of the measure. The protestors, from the group Apache Stronghold, oppose the swap, which would open Oak Flat, a part of Tonto National Forest that they hold sacred, to mining. Resolution Copper expects the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review to start by year's end. Caravan member Standing Fox said at the Capitol, "I'll die for my land." If lobbying and legislation don't work, then in a "worst-case scenario, we will be out there blockading. We'll be stopping the whole process physically."


I'm a site admin. On the site status views that show traffic and activity on the site (ex. Traffic to Views), I have never been able to see more than 6 months of history. And if I download the data from the view, I only get 6 months of data. It doesn't seem to matter if I put in 10 years, 1 year, or 7 months month on the Time Range filter, the most I ever see is 6 months of history. For example, today is April 17, 2017. The first history I see for my site is Oct 17, 2016.
We've had Tableau Server running for almost 4 years now so I know that there has been history. I've looked at these views too and I've never seen longer than 6 months; I've just never bothered before to research it. Is there a server setting or site setting that limits you to only 6 months of history in the built-in views?
According to me try setting purge.retention.days greater than 180 days using tabadmin set command.
For people who may read this later, I found the setting in another thread. TABLEAU repository data retention period?
The default retention period is 183.


President Barack Obama loves golf, and he's played more of it than his recent predecessors -- George W. Bush reportedly played golf 29 times in his first term, compared to Obama's 76 rounds. In June 2012, Obama reportedly reached his 100th round of golf while in office. His allies don't really mind. His critics really mind.
Related: Apparently President Obama plays golf really slowly.
According to the Department of Air Force documents, the flights to and from, Palm Springs for the February 17 - 20, 2014 trip totaled 9.8 hours at $210,877 an hour, which comes to a total of $2,066,594.60 in flight expenses. The records came in response to a Judicial Watch Freedom of request filed on February 18, 2014.
Also according to the Department of Air Force documents, the total cost for flights to and from Key Largo, Florida for the March 7 - 9 trip totaled 4.2 hours at $210,877, which comes to a total of $885,683.40 for flight in expenses. The records came in response to a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act request filed on March 10, 2014.
"The President spent just four hours at three drought-related events on the afternoon of Friday, February 14," the release says. "He then spent much of the next three days playing golf at some of Coachella Valley, California's, most exclusive golf courses."

A local archaeologist gives an update on the Berry site in Morganton during a Field Day celebration hosted by the Exploring Joara Foundation.

Volunteers with the Exploring Joara Foundation search through soil at a portion of the dig site on the first public archaeological dig day of the year on March 30, 2018.
The Foothills Carolina Club has more programs of local interest for people to enjoy from the comfort of their own homes.
The club, made up of alumni of the University of North Carolina living in the Unifour area, which includes Burke, Caldwell, Catawba and Alexander counties, is arranging for speakers to give online presentations once a month in its "Hidden Gems of the Unifour" series. The series came about because the university has restricted any in-person events for any of its alumni groups during the coronavirus pandemic.
The group will welcome Wade Edward Speer, who will give a presentation on the Brown Mountain Lights at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30 via Zoom, according to Em Williams, communications representative for the group.
Speer is a retired geologist specializing in the exploration of precious metals and jewels, according to his biography. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Missouri and a master's degree from the University of Arizona. He wrote a book called, "The Brown Mountain Lights: History, Science and Human Nature Explain an Appalachian Mystery."
The Brown Mountain Lights are unexplained atmospheric phenomena called "ghost lights" that have been witnessed near Brown Mountain since the 19th century, according to historical records.
"The lights can be seen from the Blue Ridge Parkway at mileposts 310 and 301, and from the Brown Mountain Overlook along NC 181, near Jonas Ridge," an online post about the lights said. "Additionally, good sightings of the lights have been reported from the top of Table Rock and Wiseman's View, both located in the Linville Gorge Wilderness."
The next program will feature David Moore, lead archaeologist for the Berry archaeological site in Morganton, who will give a presentation about the history of the site and the Exploring Joara Foundation at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 20, via Zoom. He is a professor of archaeology and anthropology at Warren Wilson College.
Archaeologists have unearthed evidence at the Berry site of a 16th century Spanish settlement called Fort San Juan, believed to be the first inland European settlement in the U.S., dating back to 1567. The site also is the location of the ancient Native American town of Joara.
The presentations are free and open to anyone who would like to tune in, not just UNC alumni.
"There are all of these great things -– great stories, great places or histories -- and they're just like little hidden gems," Williams said in a previous interview. "Some people that have lived here their whole lives might not know a lot about them."
Previous presentations included local author DLeslie McKesson, who spoke about her ancestors' role in the formation of the Dulatown area of Caldwell County, which she wrote about in her book, "Black and White: The Story of Harriet Harshaw and Squire James Alfred Dula." The group also learned about the heritage of the Waldensian people who founded the town of Valdese in 1893 and about the history of the women's suffrage movement that culminated in the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that gave women the right to vote.
To register to attend any of the webinars, contact the group at foothillscarolinaclub@gmail.com or through its Facebook page, "Foothills Carolina Club." The presentations are recorded, and links to the recordings of previous presentations can be requested from the club at the above email address.

PROBLEM NO. 3: WASTE DISPOSAL
A Canadian company, PyroGenesis, has perfected the ultimate recycling machine: a superheating furnace that reduces trash to valuable raw materials.
By Sidra Durst
February 20, 2007 11:01 PM EST
(FORTUNE Magazine) – THE BACKGROUND We're building bigger and bigger mountains of increasingly toxic garbage. The U.S. alone annually produces 1.4 billion tons of waste, the majority of which winds up in landfills. Recycling is a noble goal, but not everything can be recycled, and many places lack the infrastructure for it anyway. Incinerators can reduce the volume of trash, but they emit dioxins and toxic ash, which contaminate the water table. And while newer systems can trap both in filters, those filters then require costly disposal techniques.
THE SOLUTION Montreal-based PyroGenesis has refined a process, called plasma arc gasification, in which solid waste is shredded and fed into a furnace where extreme electrical charges bring the temperature above 3,000 degrees. After an hour or so, waste material breaks down into its molecular building blocks, leaving three marketable byproducts: a combustible synthesis gas, or syngas, that can be converted into steam or electricity; metal ingots that can be resold and melted down again; and a glassy solid that can be processed into material for floor tiles or gravel. Plasma furnaces can safely handle factory and hospital waste, hazardous runoff, and even the oil sludge that comes off ships.
The basic technology is not new; torches were used by NASA scientists in the 1960s to test heat shields on Apollo command modules. PyroGenesis was one of the first companies to try to scale the method for widespread industrial use.
THE PAYOFF With clean-tech investment booming, big clients have started knocking. Carnival, the $11 billion cruise-ship operator, uses a PyroGenesis system to reduce five tons a day of cabin waste and food on one of its vessels to a few pounds of harmless sand. The U.S. Navy has hired PyroGenesis to develop plasma waste systems for new aircraft carriers due out in 2015. PyroGenesis recently sold an industrial system to the University of Athens for about $1 million and is developing 25-, 50-, and 100-ton systems that will sell for as much as $25 million apiece.
THE OPPORTUNITY The long-term market opportunity is immense: An estimated $40 billion is spent annually to transport, incinerate, recycle, and store waste in the U.S. alone.
Although several small waste facilities in Japan use plasma-gas furnaces to incinerate their trash, most industry experts predict that the technology is still several years away from widespread commercial use. Dozens of early-stage startups, meanwhile, have been busy developing related products in niche markets for medical and other hazardous wastes.

This is a busy time of year as kids head back to school and once again become involved in all of their school-related activities. Most parents with school-age children will soon begin filling their calendars with this event and that activity, often coordinating between each other "who is doing what when." It is wonderful that parents express interest in and support their children this way, but by becoming completely absorbed in their children's activities, it can become easy for parents to lose themselves and not take care of themselves properly. For your sake—and that of your children!—please remember to invest some time and energy into Self.
By taking care of Self, you are taking pressure off your child to do that for you. A parent who becomes singularly focused on their child sends a subtle message to that child that s/he is responsible for the parent's well-being. Supporting and encouraging a child, while well intended, can become detrimental if the child begins to see that s/he is the center of Mom's or Dad's universe. It can be a fine line: Letting the child know that they are valued and important, yes; conveying the message that parents' well-being is dependent on how well the child is doing, no.
Remember, also, that you are the most powerful and influential model for your child. One of the gifts that you can pass on to your child is showing them how to take care of themselves. You hope that your child will grow up to be an emotionally and psychologically well-adjusted adult. Let them see that their parents know how to do that.

IRCTC introduces holiday train to J-K
Mumbai: The Catering and Tourism wing of railways has announced a special holiday train from Pune to Jammu and Kashmir with an additional air conditioned coach for the first time.
The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) announced the introduction of a special 15-coach holiday train from June 20 which would allow tourists to go for the Amarnath pilgrimage and visit Jammu and Kashmir.
"For the first time on this train we will have an air conditioned coach," Bela Meena, additional general manager IRCTC said, adding, if we get a good response for the train we may consider providing at least one more train before August.
The additional general manager informed that the railways will arrange for hotels/tents for the passengers of the train unlike for those travelling via 'Bharat Darshan' as they have to live in shared accommodations or dharamshalas.
Apart from better accommodation, commuters would also be provided with luxury buses to take them from one place to another, tour escorts and security on the train.The train will pick passengers from Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh before heading for Jammu and Kashmir and will charge about Rs 14,700 per couple for air-conditioned travel, she said.
Speaking about the already running special tourist trains 'Bharat Darshan', IRCTC officials said, they had received good response for the trains and all had been operating at almost full capacity.
"The trips that are planned for June 3 and 18 are already full," Meena said.
"The potential for tourism on the railways in the country is immense but it has not taken off yet," Rakesh Tandon, MD IRCTC said.
In the northern states of the country there was a large market of school trips into which the IRCTC could look to tap into and they would be able to provide more benefits than regular travel agents, he said.
"Pilgrim routes are very popular for special trains and we can consider increasing the number in the future," he said.
Railway authorities were also working on ensuring that holiday special and tourist trains are run with punctuality, Tandon said.

Review: Harley Quinn #63
Extended Harley Quinn Search
Tag "Harley Quinn"
Mar 6, 2019 - 9:30
So Sam Humphries borrows a page out of Kafka, having Harley transform into something hideous. Wherein Kafka's story it was completely random and unexplained, here, Harley is the victim of a trio of witches. But apparently, the manipulators are also being manipulated, as the story reveals in the end.
While Harley's outward appearance changed, her clothing did not, making me wonder how that slipped past her friends and loved ones. They seemingly only saw "the monster," rather than the red and black color scheme of its wardrobe. But then I remind myself that whatever transpires in the pages of Harley Quinn are the interpretations of Harley herself. For all I know, all this anti-hero stuff is a dream sequence and she's actually still in her cell at Arkham.
But I did enjoy Sami Basri's artwork, which reminded me of the work of Kurt Schaffenberger. For those fans born after the Crisis, Schaffenberger was a long-time DC artist who worked on the Superman franchise throughout the 1960s and '70s. Most of his work was in such titles as Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. But it had an innocent cartoony style to it that was refreshingly simple. Basri's work isn't quite so cartoony, but it has a simplicity of line I genuinely appreciate. The constant cross-hatching and overly textured work of illustrators like Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld can be tiresome.
The trials of Harley Quinn will continue next issue. It appears the story arc still has three chapters left to it, though my numbers may be off. But the next trial actually starts here, so don't wait until next issue.

LONDON — The 13th edition of Frieze London in Regent's Park opened to V.I.P. cardholders on Tuesday morning, the same moment as its younger sister fair, the four-year-old Frieze Masters, opened its doors far across the manicured park.
Since it's impossible to be in two places at once, choices were made and it appeared the bigger queue was at the contemporary fair where visitors were greeted in the entry hallway by rather grim collaborative sayings painted in white on black backgrounds, including "Overcome your challenges or they will reappear" and "Don't Stop Now—The End is Near."
That sobering, black on black hallway, dotted with what appeared to be reclaimed prisoner benches, complete with stationary metal hoops to accommodate handcuffs or chains, wasn't exactly inviting. But things perked up once in the central meeting point of the grandly proportioned and bespoke tent, as the more familiar rituals of art commerce slowly kicked into gear.
At London's White Cube, a brand new Damien Hirst, "Holbein (Artists' Watercolours)" from 2015 in couch enamel and sign writing paint on canvas, sold right away for £750,000 to a US collector. The piece could be viewed as a very distant cousin to the stunning "Gerhard Richter Colour Charts" exhibition at London's Dominique Levy, which includes nine paintings from the original 1996 series. Hirst's mammoth chart at 94 by 158 inches consists of rectangular shaped color swatches running nine rows across and nine rows down the busy canvas.
At New York/London's David Zwirner Gallery, Kerry James Marshall's exuberant figurative painting "Untitled (Toe Painter)" from 2015, in acrylic on PVC panel and measuring 60 by 60 inches, sold to another American collector, but the gallery declined to disclose the price. The gallery now represents Marshall in London. Also at Zwirner, Chris Ofili's large-scale painting "Midnight Cocktail" sold for $750,000.
At London's Lisson Gallery, a vibrantly colored and patterned abstraction by New York painter Stanley Whitney, "Inside Out" from 2013, scaled at 96 by 96 inches in oil on linen and representing his debut at the gallery, sold for $85,000. At least three of the artist's six untitled smaller works, each measuring 12 by 12 inches, sold for $15,000 apiece during the first hour of the V.I.P. preview.
Lisson also sold Ai Wei Wei's purple hued "Iron Root," in cast iron and auto paint from 2015, for around half a million euros to a Middle Eastern client, according to the gallery. The artist is currently featured in a survey exhibition at the Royal Academy, including an inviting ensemble of sculpted trees installed in the courtyard.
New York/London/Zurich/Los Angeles's Hauser & Wirth presented small scale sculptures by gallery artists on identically sized pedestals, affording pleasurable, 360 degree views of the little forest of sculptures that gallery partner Paul Schimmel described as "field of dreams." A coated glasswork by Larry Bell, "Cube #10-1-92" from 1992 and standing 10 inches high, sold for $135,000.
At Paris/Salzburg Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery, a huge Robert Longo diptych, "Untitled (Holy Tree/Cedar)" in charcoal on paper from 2015 and measuring 102 by 128 by 4 inches, sold to a European collector for $650,000, and a 72 by 72 inch landscape by Alex Katz, "The Road" from 2015 and evocative of the Maine woods and its stellar light, sold for $390,000. Ropac also sold Sturtevant's appropriated damsel, "Warhol Licorice Marilyn" from 2004, for around $275,000.
"I was very impressed with the energy of the fair this year," said Polly Robinson Gaer, executive director of Ropac in London, "especially since our price points are very high compared to the other booths, so we're really pleased with the outcome."
It was about at this juncture, some 2 ½ hours into Frieze London with its 164 galleries, that I remembered my mission was across the park at Frieze Masters.
A brisk 15-minute walk later, the dirigible-like silver outline of the Masters' tent appeared and London's mini-answer to TEFAF, the European Fine Art Fair in Maastricht, but with better 20th-century art, unfolded.
It quickly became evident that last year's iteration with Helly Nahmad Gallery's exquisitely entertaining "The Collector" installation has gone viral here, with a number of galleries trying it on, bringing a mix of art and furniture together with a patron saint dealer or character added to the flavorful mix.
London's Richard Nagy Gallery did it with German Expressionist works and vintage Austrian furniture, Dickinson staged an ambitious "Masters of Cubism" art salon as a homage to Paris dealer Leonce Rosenberg, and cooperating dealers Moretti (London) and Hauser & Wirth combined 14th-century Italian painters with a modernist and contemporary cast of Hauser & Wirth's deep back room, including a sultry yet somehow religious Marlene Dumas, an ink on paper of a nude girl, "Magdalena (de Pelsie)" from 1996. The Dumas hung alongside the 14th-century Luca de Tomme's "Madonna and Child with Christ Blessing" in tempera on panel. It doesn't take long to get the idea that the dealers and Frieze Masters would like you to embrace (and collect) the sweep of those centuries.
The acquiring pace at Frieze Masters appeared slower this year as even top guns, such as New York's Van de Wegh Gallery, with works by Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Acquavella Galleries, armed with a stunning Claude Monet landscape of Monte Carlo from 1883 and a rare and beautiful family portrait by Edgar Degas ("Henri Rouart et sa fille Helene") from circa 1877, priced at $10.5 and $8 million respectively, had no initial takers.
There was some action at New York/London's Skarstedt Gallery, usually a hotbed of notable transactions, as Alighiero Boetti's "841/ Beige Sahara" from 1967, consisting of industrial spray paint on cardboard and cork lettering at 27 1/8 by 27 1/8, sold in the $500,000 range and Albert Oehlen's untitled and rather biomorphic abstraction from 1991 sold for around $700,000 to a European collector.
"It's O.K.," said Per Skarstedt, shortly after chatting with American painter Eric Fischl, who was visiting the stand. "We're hoping to sell more art."
Similarly, at New York's Sperone Westwater Gallery, an early and rarely seen Joseph Kosuth, "One and seven-Description II" from 1965 and consisting of seven acrylic on canvas panels, each measuring 15 by 15 inches, sold for $300,000.
The hottest sector sales wise appeared to be the so-called "Spotlight" section of galleries hosting one-person stands, led by Seoul/Beijing's Hakgojae Gallery and the Minimalist, Robert Ryman-esque work of Korean artist Chung Sang-hwa. The booth sold out, with the seven featured paintings from the 1970s and '80s going for $500,000 to approximately $1 million.
"His prices have jumped five times what they were last year," said Eunsoo Woo, Hakgojae's art director. "Still, we were surprised at how quickly they've sold." Buyers for Sang-hwa hailed from the US, Europe, Korea, and China. His name will become more familiar to Westerners soon, as Dominique Levy and New York's Greene Naftali will mount joint New York shows in 2016.
The Dominique Levy stand here also sold a Chung Sang-hwa, "87-12-7" from 1987 in acrylic on canvas for $540,000, the first work of the artist the gallery has sold.
Back to the Spotlight stands, London's Stephen Friedman sold New York sculptor Melvin Edwards's untitled installation from 1970, comprised of hung barbed wire and chains, and installed here for the first time, for $300,000 to an American collector. The gallery also sold a group of Edwards's spray paint and watercolor on paper works from 1974 at $25,000 each.
In that same rich and relatively undiscovered vein, the late African-American abstract painter Sam Gilliam was featured at Los Angeles's David Kordansky Gallery with a lyrical presentation of the artist's Drape series, which sold at prices ranging from $225,000 to $500,000. Of those uplifting works, "Swing Sketch" from 1968, comprised of acrylic on canvas with a leather cord, sold for $350,000.
Frieze and Frieze Masters run through October 18.

What are the torque specifications for head bolts, intake and rocker bolts on Kohler engine LV675?
The torque specifications for the rocker bolts, intake and head bolts are shown in the images below. If you need more help, resubmit your question with additional details.
How do I remove Part # 851514 on my Craftsman Lawn Mower Blade Adapter? It is Key # 46 on the Sears exploded view.
Thank you for your question. I am sorry you are having a problem removing the adapter. To remove the blade adapter the gas should be drained or ran out of the tank so the lawnmower can be placed on the side. Lay the mower so the carburetor and air cleaner are up.
Block the blade with a piece of wood and remove the blade bolt and blade. The blade adapter should pull off the engine shaft unless it is rusted to the engine shaft.
Try spraying rust buster between the engine shaft and the blade adapter and tapping the blade adapter with a hammer to help the rust buster penetrate. Tap on the back side of the blade adapter to tap it off the engine shaft.
If this procedure doesn't work, put the blade bolt back into the engine shaft and tighten it until the head is about ½ inch from the blade adapter. Use a gear puller to pull the blade adapter off the shaft.
Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you for using Manage my life.
To remove the blade adapter the gas should be drained or ran out of the tank so the lawnmower can be placed on the side. Lay the mower so the carburetor and air cleaner are up.

Please let me know if you need further assistance with the repair of the mower.


It's always funny to me when people ask me what I did this weekend. Maybe every weekend I will just post what I go out and do and then the question can finally be put to bed.
No pictures here, we all know that the best dish on the entire menu in this Chinatown gem is the crispy Macau pork belly. Taking out a college chum to grab some, it dawned on me that some parts of the country have no dim sum. It is for this reason that I always take inventory and count my blessings for living in Chicago!
Fancy cocktails are never out of style at this Logan Square hotspot. There were no servers on a Friday night but the dim lit room made it feel like an old school speakeasy. We had a reggae show to go to so we had to skip out before the DJ hit the decks.
The fancy cocktails were good, but my old college chum needed to meet the National Bohemian of the Midwest: Old Style. I considered drinking only a pint for $2, but a pitcher was much more enticing. We downed that pitcher and headed back towards Township.
Local music in Chicago is as rich as it comes, with Drop Steady on stage and Township crawling with friends all over the place it was the place to be on Friday night. Perched near my usual spot in front of the stage I shot pictures and danced with the rest of the crowd. Serious craft beer and some shots of whiskey rounded off the night.
If you're going to sit around recovering from the previous night's damage, make sure to find a buddy who will get you back up and rolling. Practicing our night shooting, @MunicipalAgent quickly convinced me that I am in desperate need of a tripod. If you pursue any hobby, I highly recommend finding experts way better than you are to help perfect your craft. Our south side adventure netted us some pics and I am sure Luke's will blow mine away.
Step 6: Sunday Morning – Go to the Globe Pub and Root for Arsenal!
Down to the last game of the Premiership season, I was not a good fan this season and stayed on the sidelines watching many a game from home. I ended up going to the most crowded football bar in Chicago and ended up at the Globe for the game without a beer in hand for the entirety of the match. Arsenal fans were in full force, loudly cheering and singing on Arsenal holding down 4th place for the season ensuring Champions League qualification for the 16th straight year while rival Tottenham's season went down in flames into Europa League.
Most people in Chicago are lucky if they have a friend with a grill who's willing to cook some food up on the weekend. I'd say you're really, really fortunate if you've got some friends who are experts at using a smoker and invite you on over. Feasting on some smoked chicken, smoked brisket, hot links and some delicious BBQ sauce, I them remembered there was some crawfish to smash open!
If you are ever looking for a crawfish boil in Chicago, Toon's is the place to be: accept no imitiations! Dollar for dollar and flavor for flavor you will end up on the winning side and satisfied with crawfish from the best! Danny has been cooking up crawfish at Toon's for the last 14 years. Memorial Day is your next chance for a crawfish boil!
Dessert? Dessert! Scooter's Frozen Custard in Roscoe Village stands as a marvel in desserts. With the oppressive sun melting my soul away, I was encouraged by seeing a small crowd of children, parents, dogs, and thirsty people standing outside and enjoying an ice cold custard from Scooter's. Perusing the menu a combination of Vanilla custard, mocha, and Snickers sounded like the perfect way to cool off after a BBQ. We sat inside and were able to grab some water while our custards quickly were assembled ready to nosh! Life seemed so much better in the air conditioning watching the other folks outside melt away.
The just about wraps up my weekend. I truly, dearly wanted to go to Lakeview Mayfest, however I will save my money for the real German Maifest up in Lincoln Square!!!


LONDON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald plans to expand its prime brokerage operations in Europe and has hired Sean Capstick in London to lead the efforts, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
Capstick, most recently the London-based head of prime brokerage at Global Prime Partners, and formerly at hedge fund firm RWC, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, starts his role in May as head of European prime brokerage.
Capstick will report to global unit head Jon Yalmokas.
Prime brokers provide a range of services to hedge funds such as financing trades, lending stocks and introducing them to potential investors.
The move follows the introduction a year ago of European Union rules that have led to large investment banks focusing on their larger hedge fund clients, creating space for Cantor and others to capture the business of smaller funds.
Separately, Cantor hired Michael Fitzgerald in New York as head of equity prime services origination, one of the sources said.
Fitzgerald's LinkedIn profile confirmed he had started at the company in March and was most recently chief executive of the Digital Asset Custody Co. Prior to that he was chief operating officer at Ararat Capital.
News of the European expansion was first reported by Hedge Fund Alert.

>> Interesting to note that cake puts a lot more traffic in "high" classes than either of these suggestions.  I also note that cake does invert CS4 vs AF4x in a way that CJ doesn't like - but perhaps this is mitigated by the fact that cake thresholds VI at three times the bandwidth as VO, which I think is appropriate since video consumes more bandwidth than voice (or games) traffic.
>> None of these suggestions make any practical distinction between the "drop probability" divisions within the AFxx classes - even though in some cases they are mapped to distinct UP values, these always fall into the same major class.  I suppose that distinction would be better left to an AQM algorithm that was aware of them, which cake is not since I can't immediately see a way to make Codel respond reasonably to it.
>> The draft doesn't address the "legacy" codepoints associated with the old TOS bits, but cake does, so I extended the table accordingly.
>> I couldn't quite decipher Sebastian's suggestions into table form, so I omitted those.
>> The major "dangerous" feature I see in the draft is the treatment of CS6 and CS7 traffic - long on "drop or remark" and short on "if you must, just stick it in VO".  CS6 in particular is used by common NTP implementations, and for good reason.  As far as I'm concerned, equipment should *not* remark or drop traffic by default based solely on its DSCP.  Indeed, equipment should probably assume they are not acting as the edge of a network domain unless specifically configured otherwise.

A Captain's Career
Home Titanic Victims Titanic Research Articles Edward John Smith A Captain's Career
PDF Print Hide Ads
by John P. Eaton
When anyone asks me how I can best describe my experience in nearly 40 years at sea, I merely say- uneventful. Of course there have been winter storms and gales and fog and the like, but in all my experience I have never been in an accident of any sort worth speaking about. I have seen but one vessel in distress in all my years at sea- a brig, the crew of which was taken off in a small boat in charge of my third officer. I never saw a wreck and have never wrecked, nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort. You see, I am not very good material for a story." Captain Smith, New York, May 16, 1907.
Edward John Smith was born at Hanley, Staffordshire, England on January 27, 1850. He died April 15, 1912 in the vicinity of 41 degrees 43 minutes 32" N, 49 degrees 56 minutes 49''W. He spent 43 of his 62 years at sea, 26 of them with a single company—the White Star Line.
When Edward was born, the Smith family lived in Well Street, Hanley. As a child he attended the Etruria County Primary School. In 1869, at age 19, Edward J. Smith signed on as apprentice with the sailing firm of A. Gibson & Co., Liverpool. Young Smith's first service was aboard the company's American-built clipper ship Senator Weber.
In 1875, at Liverpool, Smith sat for and passed his Master's Certificate (#14102) and the following year saw him aboard the sailing vessel Lizzie Fennell as fourth officer.
He joined White Star Line in 1886. His first assignment was fourth officer aboard the liner Celtic (1872). After a year which included service aboard the Adriatic (1871), Smith was given his first White Star command, returning to the Celtic as her captain. Except for periodic minor diversions, presumably for experience, his rise in the company's roster of commanders was rapid and sure.
Edward Smith was married to Sarah Eleanor (she preferred to be addressed as Eleanor). They had only one child, Helen Melville (called "Babs" or "Mel") who was born in 1898. Eleanor's intimate and affectionate name for her husband was "Ted" and occasionally "Teddy", while he referred to her as "my only dear one". Eleanor Smith died in London on April 28, 1931 as the result of an accident.
At the time of Edward's death the family lived at "Woodhead", Winn Road, Southampton- a red double-fronted house with twin gables. This residence later was named "Coulthurst"and then became numbered 32 Winn Road. The property was destroyed by aerial bombing during the war in 1939. Captain Smith's home telephone number at Woodhead was Southampton 1400.
As senior commander of the White Star Line, Capt. Smith received an annual salary of $6, 250 plus an additional $41,000 bonus if no ship under his command was involved in any accident during the year. As described by Geoffrey Marcus in The Maiden Voyage, E.J. was " . . .a big man, generally regarded as the beau ideal of a Western Ocean Mail Boat Commander. His personality radiated authority, tact, good humor, and confidence. He had a pleasant, quiet voice and a ready smile. A natural leader and a fine seaman, Captain Smith was popular alike with officers and men."
Though a stickler for discipline he was well-liked by everybody. The crew knew him as a good, kind-hearted man and looked upon him as a sort of father. Bruce Ismay later said, "He was a man in whom we had entire and absolute confidence."
Most of Captain Smith's later photographs show him in full uniform, wearing two medals. The decorations are the Transport Medal- awarded to certain officers of specially-chartered troop transports during the 1899-1902 South African Boer War and the Royal Naval Reserve Decoration- awarded to officers with 15 or more years' service with the Royal Navy Reserve..
Captain Smith was an honorary Commander of the Royal Navy Reserve, Retired, and held an official warrant (#690) which permitted him to fly the Blue Ensign from any merchant vessel under his command.
Contrary to popular belief, Captain Smith was not on his last trip when he took Titanic out on her maiden voyage. According to a story in the Halifax, Nova Scotia Morning Chronicle, Friday April 19, "When Smith was put in command of the Titanic, it was reported that he would retire after he conducted her across the Atlantic and back. But the White Star officials afterwards announced that he would have charge of the Titanic until the Company completed a larger and finer steamer." Another article implied that Capt. Smith's retirement would occur following his taking out this "larger and finer steamer" on its own maiden voyage.
Following the collision with the iceberg, Captain Smith appeared almost instantly on Titanic's bridge. He promptly apprised himself of the situation by rapidly and accurately questioning First Officer William Murdoch, officer of the watch. As Titanic's other officers were assembled, they were dispatched by the captain to evaluate the ship's damage and to stand by in various areas awaiting further instruction. Captain Smith himself hastened to consult with designer Thomas Andrews and soon learned that Titanic was inevitably doomed to sink in "about two hours."
It is not in the scope of this brief biographical sketch to try to trace Captain Smith's activities during the final hours of his last command. Suffice it to say E.J. behaved as might have been expected, in the finest traditions of gentility and British seamanship. It is alleged that he jumped from the ship, picked up a child in the icy sea, and bore it in his arms while swimming on his back to a nearby lifeboat, refusing to climb aboard the boat himself and returning to the sinking ship. This heroic act is related by several witnesses with sufficient variation in detail as to preclude mere parroting.
Subsequent American and British investigations implied that Smith was guilty of careless navigation practices. But he paid for whatever folly of which he may have been guilty by dying the requisite hero's death. The lives of few liner captains have been recalled by as many memorials as those dedicated to Edward J. Smith.
At his Hanley birthplace a plaque on the town hall has been affixed in his memory and another adorns the wall of the Etruria School. At Lichfield, Staffordshire stands the Capt. E.J. Smith memorial, a larger-than-life- sized bronze statue on a pedestal of granite. The statue was sculpted by Lady Scott, widow of the Arctic explorer, and was unveiled by Capt. Smith's daughter on July 29, 1914.
For many years prior to its demolition, New York's Old Seamen's Church Institute at 25 South Street housed a tablet to Smith's memory. It bore an inscription that described the character of a man who was- in spite of what he might have thought- indeed "good material for a story":
"He sailed the sea for forty years.
Faithful in duty.
Friendly in spirit.
Firm in command.
Fearless in disaster.
He saved women and children
And went down with his ship."

Tejay van Garderen Wins 2013 USA Pro Challenge
Sagan takes his fourth stage of the race
By matt allyn and joe lindsey
Tejay van Garderen won the 2013 USA Pro Challenge. (Wil Matthews)
Peter Sagan won Stage 7 of the 2013 USA Pro Challenge as Tejay van Garderen was crowned as the overall champion.
The stage used portions of the 2011 and 2012 Denver courses to create a 10-mile circuit through downtown. The racers completed seven laps of the fast, technical loops and almost immediately after the start, a breakaway of seven formed.
Escapees Ben King of RadioShack, Christopher Juul Jensen of Saxo-Tinkoff, Chun Kai Feng of Champion System, Novo Nordisk's David Riba, Lucas Euser of UnitedHealthcare, and Jamis-Hagens Berman teammates Tyler Wren and Carson Miller were kept on a short leash by the peloton. With the chasing field strung out for most of the race, the gap to the break hovered around one minute.
At two laps to go, the front group began to fall apart, leaving Euser, King, and Miller. The trio was reabsorbed by the peloton as it entered the final lap. After driving the peloton most of the day, Cannondale saw the UnitedHealthcare leadout train come to the front for sprinter Alessandro Bazzana. Bazzana could only manage third on the stage, behind Sagan and Optum's Ryan Kelly.
Almost literally nothing changed in the final stage of the Pro Challenge: same winner, same jersey holders, same gaps, and even the same dynamic: an early break that the field was only too happy to let go, and then kept on a relatively short leash to ensure the field sprint.
In fact, the day's primary unexpected news was the abandonment, just one lap in, of Tour de France winner Chris Froome. The Sky captain came to the Pro Challenge as a highly touted attraction to the race, but from the pre-event press conference—where he freely admitted his form was not nearly where it was in July—to his rather unceremonious departure, he was a non-factor all week.
For van Garderen, the win is a confidence-boosting return to the kind of form his own high expectations demand, and an encouraging sign for the US side for the upcoming World Road Championships.
The team hasn't been named yet, but with seven riders likely to go and the hilliest world championship course in perhaps two decades on tap for the end of September in Florence, Italy, an American team composed of van Garderen, Andrew Talansky, and others could be formidable. Van Garderen said at the finish press conference that the course suits him and he's motivated for the race.
(Wil Matthews)
If there's room to critique the race, the primary issue seemed to be that Sagan was, as in the 2012 Tour of California, dominant to the point that it removed some of the suspense from certain stages. The Slovakian sprinter always puts on a great show, but the seven stages went to just four riders.
Contrast that to 2012, when the race saw six different stage winners and a new leader every day, culminating in Christian Vande Velde's come-from-behind victory in the time trial, a format we may not see again soon.
The race will probably continue to see circuit finishes in Denver. Pro Challenge general manager Shawn Hunter said that while Vande Velde's win made for great TV, the market research indicates fans on the ground like the excitement of a pack doing multiple laps.
But that's not to say the course will stagnate. While there are fewer potential host towns than California, and Colorado's geography creates stricter guidelines on possible routes, Hunter said the race continues to look at new routes, new towns and new options. Most tantalizing: a possible "true" mountaintop finish, even as high as 14,114-foot Pikes Peak near Colorado Springs.

Sermons on various subjects
By John Hewlett
no other purpose, than the beasts of the forest, and pursuing nothing more than the promiscuous gratification of his appetites, and passions. But let it be remembered, that, in addition to this moral sense of good and evil, which is the first principle of virtue, and which was insisted on in my last discourse, God has never left himself "without witness in the world." The laws of the sacred Decalogue are as old, perhaps, as the records of civil society; and they have now been enlarged and perfected by that beautiful system of truth, righteousness, and holiness, which the Saviour of the world established on earth. So that whatever our own self-will, our perverseness of understanding, and corrupt passions might dictate, we have the laws of God and man to appeal to, for the rule and measure of our duties;-for the encouragement of virtue, and the condemnation of vice. To that consciousness, therefore, which will not, on all occasions, extend so far as might be wished, is added the conviction of guilt, which arises from the transgression of what ought to be considered by every member of society as the most sacred, and inviolable principles of conduct.
Besides, before any one can presume to think
himself innocent, or to claim any merit from his actions, he most assuredly ought to examine into the motives that directed them. From our ignorance and frailty, indeed, we may often be the authors of evil, where we only intended good; but if" our heart be right in the sight of the Lord," he will mercifully accept the will for the deed; and, however our good intentions may be concealed from the world, "he seeth them in secret, and will hereafter reward them openly." Now, let the vicious of every description, whether addicted to sensuality and intemperance, to violence and fraud, to prodigality, or avarice, to the love of pleasure, or the love of ease; let them all reflect, whether they had any other motive, or object in view, than their own sinful and selfish gratifications.
Admit, however, for argument's sake, that some will say they had; "shall we do evil that good may come ?" Let us answer with the apostle, in the strongest form of negation that language will admit of, GOD FORBID. But no such views enter the mind of the wilful sinner. He inflicts wounds, but leaves others to perform that "labor of love," which may be necessary to heal them. -He propagates mischief, and iniquity, in every direction, which his more virtuous neighbour is
sedulously engaged in counteracting.-He pulls down what others spent the greater part of a laborious life in carefully building up; and often plants in the bosom of the innocent that sting of sorrow, and of bitter remorse, which Christian compassion may alleviate, but never can entirely remove. Thus it is, that " though offences must come, yet woe is justly denounced against him through whom they come."
Here, then, the most practical and consolatory view of the whole subject opens immediately on the mind. We perceive, that not all the combinations and varieties of wickedness, which the world presents to our notice, can contravene the plans of Infinite Wisdom and Mercy. The providence of God is such, that evil is made subservient to good even in this present life; and so conspicuous is it, that we may join in the deep expression of adoration, and humility, used by the holy Psalmist, and say, Surely, the wrath of man shall praise Thee!" But this world, we know, is offered to us as a state of discipline and trial, not of strict retribution and reward. The mixture of the virtuous and the vicious, the indolent and active, the wise and the foolish, furnishes a wide field for doing good, and preventing evil;-for
bearing with some, and assisting others; and for "working out our own salvation with fear and trembling." Let us, then, during the short time we have to live, exert ourselves with diligence, co-operating in works of forbearance and compassion with our heavenly Father, "who desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he should turn from his wickedness and live."
Lastly, let us not, in our present meditations, indulge any harsh and uncharitable opinions of our fellow-creatures, nor think the world worse than it really is. The best of men, indeed, if they examined their own bosoms, might be led to acknowledge, that there are some tares mixed, and growing up with their best wheat; or that there are some frailties to be numbered among their most distinguished virtues; but unless, on a general estimate of character, the righteous greatly exceeded the wicked in this world, it would evidently be impossible that "all things should work together for good."
To remove every doubt and difficulty that may still attach to the present subject, it remains for us only to look forward, with the steady eye of Christian faith, to that spiritual harvest, which is fast approaching, when God
will judge the world in righteousness;-when the tares shall be thoroughly separated, in order to be burnt, and when the wheat shall be carefully gathered up and preserved. "Then shall the righteous shine forth in the kingdom of their Father;" and then "shall glory, honor and peace be to every man that worketh good; but tribulation and anguish upon every soul that doeth evil."


New York, NY- The Longines Masters Series held a special presentation this evening overlooking New York City skyscrapers at Salon de Ning at the Peninsula Hotel to announce new developments for the prestigious international show jumping Grand Slam series. Elite New York equestrians Ariana Rockefeller, Mario & Lisa Deslauriers, Katie Dinan and Reed Kessler joined 2017 Longines FEI World Cup Champion, McLain Ward to celebrate the events move to its new home in New York.

The respective brand leaders toasted to many years of continued success together in a move that extends Longines status as Title Partner, Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the world's leading indoor show jumping competition for the foreseeable future.
The Longines Masters shares the glitz and glamour from its origin city of Paris around the world as it has expanded into three of the world's most luxurious, bustling capital cities: Paris, Hong Kong, and now New York. Previously held in Los Angeles, the American leg of the competition will now serve as the grand finale of the series.
The Longines Masters of New York at the newly renovated NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum will offer unparalleled first-class sport, live music, one-of-a-kind artwork, delectable cuisine, and more. Just as Paris began the journey in 2009, the city will now kick off each new season of the Longines Masters Series. The heart-pounding action of Season Three starts in December in Paris before heading to Hong Kong in February and culminating in New York in April 2018.
Christophe Ameeuw emphasized his continued commitment to the sport and to the partnership with Longines: "My dream was to dare to be different, to take the equestrian sport that I love so much and raise it to new heights by creating a unique concept that combines the most elite show jumping with art, lifestyle, luxury, gastronomy and entertainment all under one roof for a truly cultural experience. Thanks to the continued support of Longines as Title Partner and Official Timekeeper of the Longines Masters, this dream is a reality." Speaking of the series' new location.

It's not cheap, but this premium keyboard is packed with features to smooth your creative workflow.
An innovative and well-performing keyboard with features that could make your creative life easier and more efficient.
Sometimes an item pops up that you just didn't know you needed, but once it arrives it makes perfect sense. The excellent Logitech Craft wireless keyboard is one such item – which is why it sits in first place in our Best keyboards for creatives buying guide.
When unpacked and plugged in (for charging or permanently if preferred) the Craft software is needed. It's a small app that enables you to define certain characteristics and keep the drivers up-to-date.
The keyboard itself is a solid-feeling but very low-profile one, with a lightweight keystroke that still has good positive feedback. Another handy feature is the sensors – if you are in a dimly lit area and approach the keyboard, the backlight will turn on. It's a good, clear light but remains subtle enough to not feel intrusive if you are in a colour/light-sensitive environment.
So far so good, but what really makes this keyboard special? Apart from its obvious quality, the Logitech Craft has two extra uses that make it a particularly handy input device.
First, there is the Creative Input dial. This is the big knob at the top left of the keyboard, which can be assigned all manner of tasks, from simple scrolling and zooming to switching tabs in a browser, various Photoshop shortcuts and tasks, or viewport manipulation.
The Logitech Craft has the ability to switch profiles depending on which app you're using. If, like me, you use a keyboard together with a tablet, it makes even more sense, as you can assign the touch ring on your tablet for one task and the Creative Input dial for another, serving to increase efficiency. It also feels good to use and navigation with it is a joy.
Next is a feature that won't apply to all, but if it does it's a huge bonus. The keyboard is Mac and PC compatible – but more than that, it can be synced with three machines at once, so with a single button press you can swap between machines you are using.
I use it on monitor with both PC and Mac, so this option means I've reduced desk clutter, improved my workflow and increased consistency of 'feel' while working. It may sound like a small thing, but this feature alone makes it worth the cost, and the fact that the keys are marked up for users of different platforms is a useful addition.
For artists looking for the ultimate in simplified workflows, quality and ergonomics, this is an excellent option. It isn't cheap, but if the keyboard suits your needs it's well worth the spend.
