Paul Collart (né le  à Genève et mort le  dans la même ville) est un archéologue, papyrologue et photographe suisse.

Biographie

Famille
Paul Collart est le fils de l'architecte Louis Collart. Il épouse Madeleine Mansion, fille du chimiste Auguste Mansion.

Carrière
Il a étudié à la Faculté des Lettres de l'Université de Genève, a obtenu sa licence en Lettres et en Sciences humaines en 1924 et son doctorat en 1937.

En 1946, il est nommé comme professeur extraordinaire d'archéologie et d'histoire ancienne à l'Université de Lausanne. En 1950, il passe au statut de professeur ordinaire. En plus de son activité d'enseignement à Lausanne, il est nommé pour les mêmes disciplines à l'Université de Genève en tant que professeur extraordinaire de 1940 à 1950 puis en tant que professeur ordinaire de 1950 à 1963.

Entre-temps, en 1953, l'Unesco décide de lui confier la charge de l'inventaire des biens culturels de la Syrie et du Liban.

En 1963, il est nommé directeur de l'Institut suisse de Rome, poste qu'il occupe jusqu'en 1970.

Campagnes de fouilles
Entre 1930 et 1935, il est responsable des fouilles du site archéologique de Phillippes, au nord-est de la Grèce. Puis il fouille l'autel monumental sur le site de Baalbek au Liban entre 1938 et 1940.

De 1954 à 1956, puis en 1966, à la demande du directeur du service syrien des antiquités, Henri Seyrig, il met en place le premier grand chantier suisse d'archéologie à l'étranger pour fouiller le sanctuaire de Baalshamîn sur le site de Palmyre. Il y en étudie plus particulièrement le Temple de Baalshamin. Ce chantier de fouilles est financé par le Fonds national suisse de la recherche scientifique.

Travail photographique
Du fait de ses voyages en Méditerranée entre 1928 et 1970, Paul Collart rapporte des milliers de négatifs qui n'ont pas uniquement une valeur archéologique mais également une valeur ethnographique. En effet, ils témoignent des changements socio-économiques dans les pays du Sud de l'Europe et du Proche-Orient.

À sa mort, en 1981, le fonds photographique est légué à Pierre Ducrey, ancien recteur de l'Université de Lausanne. Pierre Ducrey, alors doyen de la Faculté des Lettres, mandate l'Institut d'Archéologie et des Sciences de l'Antiquité (IASA) de l'Université de Lausanne pour créer le Fonds d'Archives Paul Collart. Un inventaire et un catalogue sont rédigés sur la collection et la numérisation des archives commence. Entre 2003 et 2007, plus de 3000 négatifs originaux ont été digitalisés. Depuis 2017, la numérisation des archives photographiques se poursuit, notamment sur la partie proche-orientale du fonds.

Le fonds d'archives (sans compter la partie proche-orientale) est constitué de 38 albums soit plus de 4000 photographies en noir et blanc documentant 190 sites archéologiques. La documentation de fouille représente près de , plus de 100 dessins originaux, 500 lettres et 20 carnets de fouilles.

Les résultats scientifiques des fouilles de Palmyre, tout comme les photographies qui y sont rattachées, représentent aujourd'hui la sources d'informations la plus complète au monde pour documenter le temple de Baalshamîn détruit à l'explosif en 2015. Cette documentation pourrait servir de base pour la reconstruction du monument. Dès 2018, une reconstitution virtuelle du temple de Baalshamin a été réalisée par l'Université de Lausanne, en collaboration avec ICONEM. La réplique numérique se base sur les dessins et les photographies réalisés par Paul Collart. Le but de ce projet est de permettre un accès virtuel au site pour les publics.

Affiliations
Dès 1926, Paul Collart a été membre étranger de l'École française d'Athènes, à Athènes.

To prevent power induced skids and loss of control on slick surfaces, the Nissan Rogue has standard full range traction control. The Tiguan's traction control is for low speeds only. Low traction conditions at higher speeds are more dangerous, making the need for full range traction control important.
Both the Rogue and the Tiguan have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, front-wheel drive, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights, rearview cameras, available all-wheel drive, lane departure warning systems and around view monitors.
For its top level performance in all IIHS frontal, side, rear impact and roof-crush tests, with its optional front crash prevention system, and its headlight's "Acceptable" rating, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety grants the Rogue its highest rating: "Top Pick Plus" for 2017, a rating granted to only 60 vehicles tested by the IIHS. The Tiguan has not been tested, yet.
The Rogue comes with free roadside assistance for 3 years 36,000 miles. Nissan will send help if you run out of gas, need a jump start, lock your keys in or need any assistance on the road. Volkswagen doesn't give free roadside assistance for the Tiguan.
There are over 65 percent more Nissan dealers than there are Volkswagen dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Rogue's warranty.
From surveys of all its subscribers, Consumer Reports' April 2017 Auto Issue reports that Nissan vehicles are more reliable than Volkswagen vehicles. Consumer Reports ranks Nissan 9 places higher in reliability than Volkswagen.
Regenerative brakes improve the Rogue Hybrid's fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The Tiguan doesn't offer a regenerative braking system.
To lower fuel costs and make buying fuel easier, the Nissan Rogue uses regular unleaded gasoline. The Tiguan requires premium, which can cost 20 to 55 cents more per gallon.
The Rogue's standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs on the Tiguan are solid, not vented.
For better traction, the Rogue has larger tires than the Tiguan (225/65R17 vs. 215/65R17).
The Rogue has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle's integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The Tiguan doesn't offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.
Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires available on the Rogue can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The Tiguan doesn't offer run-flat tires.
For greater off-road capability the Rogue has a greater minimum ground clearance than the Tiguan (8.4 vs. 7.9 inches), allowing the Rogue to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.
The Nissan Rogue may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 50 to 300 pounds less than the Volkswagen Tiguan.
The design of the Nissan Rogue amounts to more than styling. The Rogue has an aerodynamic coefficient of drag of .33 Cd. That is lower than the Tiguan (.35) and many sports cars. A more efficient exterior helps keep the interior quieter and helps the Rogue get better fuel mileage.
The Rogue has 2 inches more front headroom, 2.8 inches more front legroom and 1.4 inches more rear legroom than the Tiguan.
The Rogue has a much larger cargo area than the Tiguan with its rear seat up (39.3 vs. 12 cubic feet).
Consumer Reports® recommends the Nissan Rogue, based on reliability, safety and performance.
The Nissan Rogue outsold the Volkswagen Tiguan by over eleven to one during the 2017 model year.


I am passionate about EKGs. I have studied and collected EKGs for over 30 years, the entire time as an emergency medicine physician. For the last 15 years I have been the "EKG geek" in the emergency department at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, and have had the pleasure of teaching scores of wonderful emergency medicine residents, as well as medical students from Tufts University School of Medicine. More recently I have been able to transfer this fund of knowledge to broader audiences at both national and international venues—from Poland to Argentina to Myanmar.
This website is designed to be the repository of my extensive collection of EKGs and some of the curriculum tools I have developed, including EKG of the Week, EKG examples, and presentations that I have given (both PowerPoint presentations and accompanying handouts). With unrestricted access to this material I hope others will be able to develop their expertise in interpreting EKGs in emergency medicine or other acute care settings, and perhaps develop or expand their own EKG curriculum.
On a busy, chaotic shift in the ED nothing can make me smile quite like being asked to review an EKG with a resident or colleague. In that light, I really do invite your comments and questions, or send me an interesting EKG (I'll reference you if we publish it as an EKG of the Week).


This is a very broad question and not one that can be given a blanket answer. You should always consult with a vet before administering anything pharmaceutical to your pets.
Using medicines off-label means that we are now able to treat a number of conditions in our pets that previously there were no treatment options for. If your pet is sick then ask your vet about any drugs that could potentially make a big difference to their quality of life.

NIGERIAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES
The short form of the journal's name is NJSS
A new Editorial Board was inaugurated in October and the completion of the handover to the new Board is still being awaited. We plan to set up a website for the journal and ensure that it participates fully in the University's internationalisation programme for such academic periodicals. Previously the journal did not have a website although it began publication in 1976. We are preparing contents from past editions to be made available online in the days ahead. Also the forthcoming number; Volume 11, Number 1, will be available in hard copy as well as online. We have contacted a number of nominees internationally and in other universities who will complement the team of internal Editorial Advisers and as soon as they indicate their acceptance we will post an updated Advisers' panel.
Professor I.A. Madu
Dr P-J Ezeh
Professor C. Ofuebe, Rev Fr Dr M.C. Chukwulobe, Dr C.C. Ezeibe, Dr Nathaniel Urama,
Rev Dr O.K. Ngele, Dr H.C. Nnamchi, Dr C.C. Iyiani, Dr J.E. Ezeh, Mr Okey Eme
The current address of the journal is Dean's Office, Faculty of the Social Sciences, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, N-410001, Nigeria.
The journal publishes articles from all the social-science and related disciplines. Articles may be in forms of research reports, formulation of theories, critiques of extant ones, application of the principles in the affected disciplines to current social needs, reviews or critiques of books and other relevant intellectual productions.
The publishers are the Faculty of the Social Sciences of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
The strength of the journal lies in its multi-disciplinary nature and the width of coverage. Its weakness is poor funding, which has resulted in its inability to keep up with the rapid developments in the high-tech-driven academic publishing. Neglect from unconducive policies of one of the University's previous administrations on home-grown academic publishing has also discouraged progress of the journal.
Opportunities abound for the journal. Potential contributors of articles are numerous. The Faculty is the largest in the University. International readership can increase. The University is the first independent one in Nigeria and the international academic community take well-written publications from here seriously.
Threats are in the shape of the rather hostile policies originating from a previous University administration which ended up having the effect of discouraging home-based journals. Researchers shunned these journals in in the misguided belief that they were inferior to foreign ones. Lack of funds is also a major threat.
To enhance the capacity of the journal, we are expanding its editorial advisers to include reputable scholars in other countries and other universities, while not neglecting the expertise that can be sourced locally in the University. We have plans to collaborate with foreign publishers with comparable interests. With regard to funds, we intend to ask for financial assistance from the National Universities Commission (NUC), the University's administration, and other credible sources. Beginning from the edition that is now being prepared, the journal will go online, in addition to the hard-copy version. Overall, readers should expect henceforth a highly improved journal that can compete more effectively internationally.

Why Haze Anybody?
November 29, 2011 12:00 am by Kristin Broner
Despite all the examples, from the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, to Ivery Luckey, a former band member, it seems that some students from our wonderful campus have not learned the effects of hazing and neither has some of the administration.
On Saturday, Nov. 19, Florida A&M student and drum major Robert Champion died. Champion was unconscious when Orange Country Sheriff's deputies and paramedics arrived on the scene and was pronounced dead at Phillips Hospital. Investigators suspect hazing to be the cause of death, but no charges have been filed. When I heard of Champion's death, I was somewhat numb to the situation. But the magnitude of his death did not hit me until I went home for Thanksgiving break and reflected on the situation.
How can the Marching "100," the band known for its outstanding high-stepping, precision in marching, dynamic choreography and brotherly love, allow something so severe to happen?
Now don't get me wrong; I am not blaming every band member for Champion's death, but I am blaming the ones who are responsible for his death.
Whether you were the person doing the hazing or the person sitting by the window watching, you belong in jail. Those who are part of the culture of hazing also bear some responsiblity.
Champion was someone's son, brother and friend. Where is the logic in inflicting pain on someone just to be part of a school organization?
Where is the logic in causing Champion pain, his loved ones heartache, and damaging our university's reputation? This is a catastrophic event. People all over America are watching us, not because of our academic excellence but because a life was lost due to ignorance.
According to StopHazing.org, hazing is usually associated with Greek organizations and began around 1657 at Harvard University.
The upperclassmen were hazing the freshman to teach and build school loyalty among all students. Many university presidents encouraged hazing until it led to serious injuries and the deaths of students, the website reported.
The National Collaborative for Hazing Research and Prevention reported that 55 percent, or more than half, of college students involved in clubs, teams and organizations experience hazing.
There is no logic behind hazing. It leads to severe injuries, deaths and hospitalization, so why do it?
I looked at Champion's Facebook page and anyone could see he was loved, admired and cherished.
The ones who committed this crime deserve to pay for what they have done to Champion, his family, our university community and our good name.

Words like "fast, innovative and inclusive" are cited by senior executives from foreign enterprises to describe China's economic development during the last five years, as they see the country becoming an innovation powerhouse and a leader in various trends such as e-commerce.
Remarkable achievements have been made in China thanks to the country's efforts to steer such a sizeable economy toward continuous steady growth, especially with the continuous opening-up while shifting the development focus to quality, efficiency and sustainability, senior executives from foreign enterprises told the Global Times.
Innovative transformation
"I've been coming to China since 2012. During the past five years, I have been deeply impressed by the energy and innovation in China," Thierry Garnier, president and CEO of Carrefour China, told the Global Times Tuesday.
"The rapid development demonstrates the vitality of China's market in economic globalization," Garnier said.
The past five years has seen the emergence of services designed to offer convenience for consumers in China.
"The introduction of shared bicycles solves 'the last mile' problem; the development of online-to-offline makes life more convenient; and the birth of mobile payment allows people to travel around with only a mobile phone," Garnier noted.
"For enterprises like us, this offers a wide spectrum of reference data, based on the purchasing habits of consumers, which gives us a sharper insight into customer needs to provide better services and innovative formats," he said.
The improving legal environment in China and cultivation of talent has also set up a solid base for foreign enterprises to invest and develop in the country, according to Garnier.
China has changed more in the past three years than it has the last 30 years, and its transformation will definitely accelerate in the five years to come, with 500 million new consumers, 200 cities rising amid accelerating urbanization and a large middle-class population, said Jean-Paul Agon, chairman and CEO of L'Oreal.
"We are happy to see that China's supply-side structural reform has gained momentum through upgrading of consumption and the further opening of the market. This trend is also expected to elicit more positive competition that will strengthen the competitiveness of local industry and further activate the dynamics of China's overall economy," Agon told the Global Times.
China's continuous efforts to reinforce open partnership and innovation to boost regional economic prosperity and people's livelihoods are setting a great example for the world, the executives noted.
They said that the Belt and Road initiative is accelerating the economic globalization process and that it allows global companies to further expand their footprint across the world. They also told the Global Times that they are more than willing to participate in potential initiatives and to bring products to more consumers through various methods such as cross-border e-commerce platforms.
E-commerce will become China's calling card in the future, and it could inject vitality into the world economy, Agon predicted.
China has established one of the world's most globalized, open-source and effective e-commerce networks with world-class innovation in technology and a business model that has been reshaping the way companies around the globe connect with each other and create commercial value, according to Agon.
China's cross-border e-commerce industry has achieved substantial growth since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012, said Elaine Chang, vice president of Amazon and president of Amazon China.
During the past five years, the central government has stepped up efforts to roll out favorable policies to support cross-border e-commerce, which has provided more development opportunities for the domestic e-commerce sector as well as Amazon's business, Chang told the Global Times Tuesday.
"These measures have shown the Chinese government's desire to further open up the market and actively attract foreign investment. We believe the implementation of the policies will further enhance the business environment for foreign enterprises in China," Chang noted.
"We have confidence in China's economic growth," Chang said, adding that innovation will continue to play a key role in boosting China's economy.
What should be noted is that for an ardent champion of economic globalization like China, the biggest challenge is green development and environmental protection, said Agon.

Massachusetts' new governor, Deval Patrick, has shown himself to be a true Democrat by rescinding an agreement arranged by Mitt Romney with the feds that allowed state troopers to arrest illegal aliens. His alternate plan is to allow officials at two state prisons to determine the immigration status of prisoners and then somehow recommend them for deportation. They would probably need to do that through ICE or similar.


Brand warfare is an interesting concept.
Ever since the second coming of WWE's brand extension, Survivor Series has become the permanent home for brand warfare. It is now the one night of the year fully devoted to matches pitting Raw superstars against Smackdown superstars. It is always fun and a constantly intriguing concept filled with lots of storyline potential. However, it does halt the normal proceedings on both shows and may detract from primary storylines.
But then again, if we sit down to scrutinize every move WWE makes, we will be left with no satisfaction. Sometimes we should just sit back and enjoy the show they put on for us, suspending our disbelief. The feud between the Red and the Blue brands have been a bit forced at times, but it remains one of the most entertaining of the year. Plus, you cannot really complain about the wrestling.
Smackdown's invasion of Raw was a really cool moment.
For every time Smackdown and Raw have feuded going into Survivor Series, there has been a couple of high profile invasions on both shows. It happened in 2005 and 2016, with some really fun and entertaining segments but the chunk of the brand warfare drama came last year and was sparked by two words, Under Siege. Shane McMahon, the commissioner of the Blue brand, led his troops to invade and decimate Raw. They did so in an extremely compelling fashion. With four weeks left for Survivor Series, we knew that Raw would strike back. We just did not know when.
Along with the looming threat of the Red retaliation, we got a few entertaining title matches in the lead-up to the various Champion vs Champion matches on the show. AJ Styles winning the WWE title from Jinder Mahal in Manchester ranks up as one of the greatest moments to ever happen at a WWE taping in the UK. Raw eventually struck back at the final Smackdown before Survivor Series, launching a fierce and brutal attack on the Blue brand. Segments like these are the reasons why most of the excitement is built up towards the Smackdown vs Raw concept at Survivor Series.

York Stadium Leisure Complex begins to emerge after planning saga
Published: 09:38 Friday 28 September 2018
Construction is under way to build a new community stadium for York's professional football and rugby league clubs, following a lengthy planning saga.
The £41m project to build a new 8,000-capacity home for York City and York City Knights has been plagued by delays when plans were first mooted.
Jason McGill Chairman of York City (lright and Neil Gulliver General Manager of York City Knights overlooking The York Stadium Leisure complex that will open in Summer 2019.
Clubs were expected to move into the venue – part of a complex that will also boast a cinema, a pool and leisure facilities – in 2011.
York Council revealed that contracts relating to the stadium and leisure complex were finally signed in October.
Construction yesterday began on the York Stadium Leisure Complex, as partner organisations involved in the plans held a ceremony to mark the milestone.
Coun Nigel Ayre, executive member for leisure, said: "It is fantastic to see so much happening on site with the works progressing on time and it has been great seeing the whole complex start to take shape."
Alongside the sporting facilities, NHS outpatient services will be offered on-site, from a community hub.
There will also be a new library and a York Against Cancer retail unit.

Rapper Ché Lingo spoke to the Wandsworth Times ahead of the release of his latest EP, Sensitive.
Ché has lived in Surrey Lane for most of his life with his nan and now lives in Clapham.
He started making music at the age of 13 as a hobby and an escape, spending a lot of time at youth centres across south London mixing music.
Two years ago, he went full time.
Ché and his team have released several singles, an EP titled Charisma and toured the world.
Sensitive is out today. It is an even more introspective EP than his previous EP, in the sense that it's about how he felt not being in control over relationships.
Wandsworth and south London played a massive role in Ché's music. At the time, there was a lot of crime in the area, which he saw first-hand.
But deeper than crime, he also dealt with self-confidence issues with his appearance and non-confrontational personality.
"Growing up in Wandsworth was an amalgamation of different things. I always had my problems like everyone, but these problems stemmed from the fact that I didn't have a strong character.
"There was loads of madness. It heavily influenced who I am, my nan sheltered me a lot so when I went out, things outside of my house would affect me double.
Ché cited his nan and mum as major influences on his life growing up. He described how his nan would home-school him, after school, and place an emphasis on articulation and English.
He described his nan as a "prude academic" while he described his mum as "a G".
She taught him the life lessons which gave him the skills to live alone.
His nan also influenced his music, constantly seeking out music and playing Reggae in the house.
It wasn't just the women in his life that cultivated his talent, youth centres were a major reason he was able to pursue a career in music.
With continued cuts to youth services, Ché said they should get more funding but also recognised that youth centres don't always give young people the freedom they crave musically.
"You have to let a man live his trust and speak his reality. That's why you don't really find them in youth clubs making music," he said.
Despite the reggae influences from his nan, it was really listening to grime that formed the basis for Ché's unique sound.
Outside of the house, Ché listened to Hip Hop RnB and mainly Grime, starting with So Solid Crew, then later Chip, Wiley and Skepta before turning to artists like Ghetts and P Money.
He said: "I really appreciated the way they piece together music. The mixture of music I listened to growing up was very 'for the people' or 'f*** the system'. That's subconsciously been instilled in me and my music, I'm very for the people.
"I think those three types of music are very evident in what I do, less so reggae. The soulfulness crossed over with grime and hip hop to make me who I am.
As an independent artist, Ché also runs his own label, which allows making music without the influence of outsiders.
He said that it's important for a good artist to have a positive team that can help push a project.
When you find this mix "you get a Frank Ocean or Kendrick Lamar, or Ghetts or J Cole or Stormzy," who control their music and the team recognise their charisma, talent and rawness.
Over time Ché has become known for his fashion, but this wasn't something he actively pursued.
It stemmed from his issues with his appearance growing up, meaning he felt the need to change his appearance to feel good.
From there, he has spent time in the fashion world and is something that he thinks is important to him.
Following the release of Sensitive, Ché Lingo has a busy year ahead of him, with a tour later in the year.

Q: .htaccess mod_rewrite: enabling caching via checking if file exists I am implementing a caching system for dynamically generated images. The script is called via /img/type/param1/param2.png, where multiple types are possible and the number of parameters are variable. The script generates the image and dumps it to disk.
I would like .htaccess rules, which when requesting the image generation script:

*

*checks to see if a cached file exists

*if so, mod_rewrite to the cached file

*if not, don't do anything so that the script runs

What I have so far is a slightly modified logic:

*

*mod_rewrite to where the cached file would be

*check to see if the file exists

*if not, mod_rewrite the request back again

If there's a better way to do this, I'd love to hear it. In any case, the relevant part of my .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^img/(type1|type2)/(.*)$ /images/cache/$1/$2

RewriteCond /^(.*)$ !-f
RewriteRule images/cache/(.*) /img/$1

This doesn't seem to work quite right. To debug it, I inserted the following after the first RewriteRule (the target page just dumps its input):
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /htaccess.php?url=$1 [END]

As a result, I get:
Array
(
    [url] => /images/cache/a/l/300.png/a/l/300.png
)

I don't understand why $2 contains l/300.png/a/l/300.png instead of just l/300.png.
If I change first RewriteRule to include an [L], I get the expected result. However, I experience the exact same "double-matching" issue on the second RewriteRule which reverts the request back into the non-cache version. However, adding [L] to this second RewriteRule:
RewriteRule ^img/(type1|type2)/(.*)$ /images/cache/$1/$2 [L]

RewriteCond /^(.*)$ !-f
RewriteRule images/cache/(.*) /img/$1 [L]

yields an Internal Server Error.
What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix this issue?

A: The first logic that you have is what you want to be doing, that bypasses the possible looping issues. You just need to extract the relevant bits from the %{REQUEST_URI} then backreference them using % references. So for example:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/img/(.*)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/images/cache/%1 -f
RewriteRule ^img/(.*)$ /images/cache/$1 [L]

or using the regex patterns that you had:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/img/(type1|type2)/(.*)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/images/cache/%1/%2 -f
RewriteRule ^img/(.*)$ /images/cache/$1 [L]

Beijing braces after rise in COVID cases
0 Comment(s) Print E-mail China Daily, November 15, 2022

The number of COVID-19 infections in Beijing has continued to trend upward in recent days, involving most districts, a senior official said on Monday.
Xu Hejian, spokesman for the municipal government, said at a news conference on Monday that people should be aware of the capital's severe and complicated epidemic situation and that the government will strengthen accurate and scientific prevention work.
Without going into details, he said that entities such as schools, construction sites, hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants and logistics companies should make plans for their epidemic control and prevention measures.
"The services for quarantines, nucleic acid tests, medical treatment and vaccinations will be made more accurate with improvement," Xu said.
Authorities are encouraging families and friends of those in nursing homes not to visit if it's not absolutely necessary, to avoid cluster infections.
Beijing recorded 257 new local COVID-19 cases between midnight and 3 pm on Monday, among whom 43 were detected at the community level, involving 10 districts, according to Liu Xiaofeng, deputy director of the Beijing Center for Disease Prevention and Control.
The city reported 237 new local cases and 170 asymptomatic carriers on Sunday, almost double the total infections recorded on the previous day.
Many residents in Beijing's Chaoyang district, the hardest-hit district in the city, said their regular nucleic acid testing sites had shut or were open fewer hours on Monday, resulting in long queues stretching around city blocks.
Meng Rui, deputy head of Chaoyang, said that the authority had optimized the "location arrangement" of the testing sites, based on a related requirement for low-risk areas.
"In fact, the district has 1,824 testing sites in total after the adjustment, 100 more than the previous number," he said. "The locations are closer to people's residential communities, which is helpful to identify the risks faster if positive cases are found."
Yin Li, Beijing's newly appointed Party chief, hosted an epidemic control and prevention work meeting on Monday morning. He said all efforts will be made to reduce the impact of the epidemic on the city's economic and social development and to protect people's safety and health.
In Haizhu district in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, a notice issued by the COVID-19 control and prevention headquarters said progress had been made in the past three days after prevention and control measures were strengthened on Friday.
However, based on the latest monitoring results, the risk of virus transmission has not been completely eliminated, with the epidemic situation in the district remaining uncertain, challenging and complex, according to Su Mingqing, deputy head of Haizhu. The official tally showed Haizhu reported 3,712 of the city's 4,065 infections on Sunday.
Residents living in closed-loop management areas are required to stay at home unless absolutely necessary. Outside these areas, residents are required to present negative nucleic acid test results from within 24 hours before leaving the district, according to the notice.
Public transportation services and businesses will resume outside the district's controlled areas, with secondary, primary school and kindergarten classes remaining suspended, the notice said.
The adjustment of the prevention and control measures in the district was based on lowered risks of transmission outside the controlled areas, according to Su.
"The transmission chain is very clear and has been effectively handled outside the controlled areas, as only some sporadic cases at community level have been reported there," Su said during a news conference on Monday.
The Chinese mainland on Sunday reported 1,747 locally transmitted confirmed COVID-19 cases and 14,325 local asymptomatic carriers, the National Health Commission said on Monday.

During the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic, rural meatpacking counties had infection rates 10 times higher than rates in other rural counties, said the USDA on Thursday. And despite improvements, the Covid-19 rate in the 49 U.S. counties that rely on meat plants for jobs remains somewhat higher than in the rest of rural America as the disease surges again.
In its annual Rural America at a Glance report, the USDA also said that rural residents, who make up 14 percent of the U.S. population, accounted for 27 percent of the Covid-19 deaths nationwide during the final three weeks of October. The report covered the pandemic and the accompanying recession from mid-March through Nov. 1.
Some 3,818 people died of Covid-19 in rural counties last week, the sixth straight week with a record death toll, said the Daily Yonder. The rural death rate from the virus has exceeded the urban rate since early August.
Roughly 100,000 people are employed by meatpackers in the 49 rural counties where the industry provides more than 20 percent of the jobs.
"Beginning in mid-April, the confirmed number of cases of Covid-19 in meatpacking-dependent counties began to outpace those seen in all other counties across the nation," said the USDA. The two-week moving average of daily new cases peaked at nearly 50 per 100,000 people by the end of April, "more than 10 times the prevalence seen in other rural counties," said the report. By the end of May, the rate in meatpacking counties had declined to seven times the rate of other rural counties.
"Partial plant closures and increased social distancing protocols were implemented at meatpacking plants across the country starting in late May. These measures appear to have slowed infection rates, as June saw a sharp reduction in cases in meatpacking-dependent counties," said the USDA. "After mid-July, case rates moved in tandem in meatpacking counties and counties without the plants, although rates remained higher in counties with meat plants."
Like the rest of the country, jobless rates in rural areas skyrocketed, reaching 12.6 percent earlier this year as the pandemic spread and the U.S. economy slowed. The rural unemployment rate had improved to 6 percent by the fall.
One-half of rural Westerners surveyed during the summer reported that the pandemic had had an adverse effect on their lives, mostly commonly on their mental health and household finances, said a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The portion of people reporting an adverse impact from the pandemic was nearly twice the portion who said they had had direct experience with the coronavirus. That group included the 2 percent who said they suspected or confirmed a personal infection; the 8.5 percent who said a family member had contracted the virus; and the 19 percent who said a friend or acquaintance had had a suspected or confirmed case.
"Rural people have been left out of the vast majority of research on the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic," said the six scientists who wrote the PNAS report. They surveyed 1,009 rural residents of 11 western states during June and July, when infection rates were on the rise. "Findings show there have been significant impacts on health-related and economic dimensions of well-being, and that these impacts are shared across sex, age, ethnicity, and education."
Although nearly 60 percent of respondents said their county was in poor economic health at present, nearly half said they expected good economic health a year from now.

into a device (photodetector) for the measurement of current-voltage characteristics in dark and under UV illumination. Furthermore, the growth model for the formation of core-shell heterostructure has also been discussed in this project.
Chapter-I narrates about the fundamentals of materials, nanomaterials and hybrid nanomaterials. In this chapter, the importance, properties, application of nanomaterials have been outlined. Moreover, the properties and morphology and corresponding application are highlydependent on the synthesis methods. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique is found be one of versatile among all other preparation methods. The motivation by addressing the challenges have been discussed thoroughly.
Chapter-II describes the fabrication of a low cost CVD setup. For the fabrication of CVD setup, a three-zone horizontal furnace, reaction tube, a rotary van pump and three mass flow meters have been procured. A liquid precursor handling system and a reaction chamber which has fitted with two couplings have been designed. All these subcomponents have been assembled and integrated into a single unit CVD setup.
characterized by field emission electron microscopy (FESEM) attached with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) attached with high resolution TEM (HRTEM) and selected area diffraction pattern (SAED), RAMAN spectroscopy & UV-Vis spectroscopy. Moreover, these materials have been fabricated intoa photodetector for the measurement of current-voltage characteristics in dark and under UV illumination.
nature of the materials. Raman spectroscopy further confirms the presence of CdSe in the CVD synthesized materials. Using UV-Vis spectroscopy measurement the band gap is found to be ~2.2eV for CuO nanowires and 3.96eV for CuO-CdSe heterostructure.
Chapter-V discusses about the material characterization of CuO-CdS nanomaterials.
From FESEM image, the rough surface of CuO-CdS is found by FESEM observation which is attributed to the deposition of CdS nanoparticles thoroughly on to the surface of CuO nanowires during preparation of CuO-CdS core-shell structure by CVD process. The presence of Cd, S elements in the materials has been confirmed by EDS. The formation of core-shell heterostructure has been well verified by TEM. The crystalline natures of the materials have been confirmed by XRD, HRTEM, and SAED pattern. Raman spectroscopy further confirms the presence of CdS in the CVD synthesized materials. The band gap is found to be ~3.73eV for CuO-CdS heterostructure as measured by UV-Vis spectroscopy.
Chapter-VI discusses about some general trends in growth mechanism of hybrid nanomaterials and a probable growth mechanism of the present research work has been suggested as deduced from experimental characterization. The probable growth mechanism for CuO-CdSe is found to be gas phase adsorption, whereas surface diffusion and gas phaseadsorption growth mechanism for CuO-CdS has been suggested. However, the exact growth mechanism is yet to be established that needs further investigation in detail. Furthermore, the current-voltage characteristics of the fabricated photodetector have been measured by Keithley source meter 2400. The measured current for the CuO is 1.4μA at bias voltage 3 Volt. Similarly, the dark current measured for the CuO-CdSe is 11 μA. However, the current increased to 33μA under UV illumination at the biasing 3V. For CuO-CdS, the current is found to be 10.8μA and increased to 23.8 under UV illumination at the biasing 5V. The increase in photocurrent attribute because of the effective charge separation in electron-hole in the heterojunction, which has been discussed thoroughly in the chapter by using band diagram.

Inner Essence Energy Healing is a process of becoming whole.
Energy healing offers a rich, unique opportunity for deep healing and growth. Unlike traditional psychotherapy, which focuses on illness and diagnosis, energy healing focuses on health and wellness, while maximizing your potential to create the life you want for yourself. Many individuals who prefer not to be diagnosed or to have their personal life and issues scrutinized by an insurance carrier choose this option for their healing journey.
The goal of energy healing is to get to the root of your symptoms quickly and help you to transform your challenges; replacing them with improved health and well-being. This holistic mind-body energy-based approach assists you to get to the core issues underlying your current difficulties, transforming them into their positive potentials.
Kristine utilizes the energy-based approach she has developed by combining her 30+ years of experience in the field of energy healing with eclectic psychotherapy to provide a mind-body approach used to access the subconscious and super-conscious mind. She assists you to let go of limiting beliefs, feelings, traumas, upsets, etc. that no longer serve you; replacing negative beliefs, habits and patterns; releasing trauma patterns, and/or releasing emotions connected to trauma memories and in their place instills effective coping strategies, empowering, liberating positive beliefs, behaviors, understandings, and feelings that help you move forward in your life.
Change can happen more quickly with a holistic energy-based approach than with traditional talk therapy or talk-style coaching which addresses issues at the mental level. Insight—having the highest perspective, definition, and understanding of what is going on---is necessary but not sufficient for permanent change. Understanding the why of dysfunction will never by itself change the issue. At Inner Essence you are assisted with not only identifying the conscious and subconscious traumas, beliefs, feelings, and their underlying conditions that block your ability to heal and permanently change the current circumstances and symptoms in your life, but also with transforming these blocks. Once the underlying core negative beliefs, patterns, habits etc. are identified we actually transform them, changing their energy into empowering beliefs and feelings that bring you into the full magnificence of who you really are. Most individuals report having a visceral experience of stepping into their expanded beingness. Learning to live from your greater beingness can create huge energetic transformation in your life experience.
Energy healing is a good compliment to western medicine. Inner Essence energy healing in conjunction with your medical and alternative healthcare treatments provides great support for the healing of physical problems, health issues, and illness you may be experiencing. Often in circumstances of physical dis-ease there are underlying traumas, beliefs, and feelings present that created a vulnerability on the physical level, or attracted the problem in the first place. These beliefs and energy patterns can continue to hold illness in place, making medical treatments less effective. When the negative beliefs, dysfunctional patterns, and habits are transformed, it is easier for physical healing to take place. Releasing patterns of stress, anxiety, and depressive habits can have a profound effect on the level of wellness in the body, while enhancing the effectiveness of western and alternative medical treatments.
Using deep processes like scanning and attending to, Kristine tracks blocked energies, negative energies, and/or excess emotion stored in the body, or places where the energy may be distorted or tightly wound. Using highly skilled presencing abilities, Kristine is able to assist you with unwinding these energies, often uncovering subconscious beliefs, memories, and patterns connected to them, allowing these to be repatterned while reestablishing deep harmony, balance, and peacefulness in the energetic body, experienced on the physical level. She utilizes her skills to identify unconscious beliefs, self-sabotage patterns, ingrained family patterns and beliefs that often are the underlying causes of depression, anxiety, anger, obsessive-compulsiveness, sleep problems, school and work problems, low self-esteem, food, eating and weight issues, addictive behaviors, money/financial problems, and interpersonal/relationship problems. There are often underlying problems associated with physical health problems and illness. Clearing these negative patterns can assist you in your healing journey as you follow-through with medical and other alternative health treatments.
As subconscious beliefs and patterns come into your conscious awareness shifts in your level of awareness naturally occur. New levels of consciousness offer opportunities for a richer more fulfilling life. At Inner Essence you are given all the tools you need to make permanent changes in your life. As you develop the ability to connect fully with your expanded wisdom you no longer live life from old limitations. As your consciousness expands you recognize ways you have been living your life on auto-pilot. With new skills and supportive beliefs and behaviors; your awareness of your new potential expands, opening new opportunities and possibilities in your life. You learn new ways to take full responsibility for creating life the way you want it to be. With new tools for growth, you continue to evolve into your greater potential.
There is no need to live in the past or the future, experiencing the world through the filters of our limited assumptions and interpretations. These are merely habits we get into and we forget how to live in the present. You can energetically learn what it feels like and how to live in the now. The now is actually all we have. The apparent past and future are illusions we humans create to make sense of our experience. From the highest perspective, there is no time and no space. All is present and happening here now. As we expand our consciousness, we can actually learn to experience that infinite presence—the subatomic reality scientists are identifying as simply energy in motion. The full creative energy of the universe lies at the heart of each atom. The full creative energy of the universe lies at the heart of who we are.

Breaking Binary System Scam Review – Read Here First!
Breaking Binary – Breaking Profits or Exposing a Scam?
Breaking Binary is a signals-generating system that was recently released onto the Internet by an anonymous group of experienced traders. It requires a much lower initial deposit than is the industry standard. Instead of $250, users have to deposit only $200.
Because of this fact, I decided to perform an exclusive investigation into it to better determine whether it is a genuine and authentic piece of software or just a scam. Even though there is not much available data about BreakingBinary Software, I did my best to compile as much of an exhaustive review as possible. Read on if you would like to learn the truth.
Review Verdict: Breaking Binary Is A Scam!
Breaking Binary System – Who are the Creators?
As most of you know pretty well, one of the existing criterion by which to determine whether a profit-amplifying solution is scam or legit is whether the creator or group of such are actual people or not. With BreakingBinary System this is very hard as there is no actual information about the founding team. You can not learn anything from the promotional video or the official website.
The company logo of Breaking Binary Software as well as its name resemble the name of the TV series 'Breaking Bad'. Whether this is an intentional reference or not remains a mystery as the team behind the software does not provide any additional data on the topic.
All data that I could come across suggests that the signals-providing system was established by a team of experts that have different professional backgrounds – high-end investors, big data analysts, computer scientists, etc. It is very hard to prove that this is real as their names are never given and it is hard to identify whether they do have any existing social media profiles or not.
BreakingBinary Software – How Does it Actually Work?
This online trading software is a signals-generating one and partially an Algo-trading one. Its programming algorithm was supposedly designed as to constantly scan the market for asset prices movements and send subsequent alerts to the ones who have already opened an account with it.
As I already mentioned above, BreakingBinary Software has a starting deposit of $200, but the suggested monetary amount users should place is $500. There is a trial-period of 14 days in which you can sign up with the system and be entitled to receive signals in exchange for $1.
If one is not satisfied by the accuracy and reliability rate of the income-generating solution, he or she can opt for a refund and return of the investment sums procedure. You should be careful when proceeding to apply for this as not many people have reported receiving their savings back. The prevailing feedback has been predominantly negative.
Review Verdict: Breaking Binary Is NOT Safe!
The recommended starting deposit may be $500 and I would generally advise everyone to invest the sum. It is an established principle in online forex trading that the bigger the initial sum – the higher the consequent earnings. My research into Breaking Binary System did not turn out to bring to the light many positive results and my best suggestion to everyone would be not to get started with the software at all.
The average return on investment, or RoI, is supposed to be 80%, but I did not manage to find any kind of user testimonials or feedback proving this statements. This winning ratio is most likely just made up so that the signals-generating system can draw in more unsuspecting or novice traders.
My investigation into Breaking Binary managed to confirm that the signals provider is 100% dubious. It is still new, so its creators do still have enough time to improve the provided alerts and provide more information about themselves. Do not expect any miracles, however, as the prevalent reviews and feedback have been mostly negative.
There are many factors at present which suggest that the forex trading system is a scam. Users should better opt for a proven to be legit and reliable piece of online trading software. The one at hand is more likely to lose them their savings than increase their profits significantly.

The lobby features fluid lines, exquisite furniture, and a mesmerising draped installation of sparkling glass beads, taking inspiration from the seaside locale and setting the scene for the grandeur to come. And best of all, check-in is friendly and seamless, mirroring The Darling's commitment to a superb guest experience across all facets of the hotel.
There's no such thing as 'standard' here, with 56 spacious suites ranging from 75 square metres to a stunning 350 square metres. Each level features just seven luxurious suites, including a northern Penthouse Suite, a Penthouse Spa Suite, and southern Penthouse Deluxe Suites. The latter category offers a choice of bonus spaces — a dedicated billiards room, an exercise room, or a media room with its own karaoke system.
The Darling Gold Coast Penthouse suite
Originally booked into a Stellar Suite, we lucked out on check-in and were upgraded to a northern Penthouse Suite. At over 250 square metres, this sky-high haven was twice as big as our home apartment — and umpteen times more glamorous! I've never stayed in a more sumptuous suite. Two generous bedrooms (plus the option of an adjoining suite for larger groups) are served by two luxurious bathrooms with Balmain Parise amenities and a sexy circular bath positioned to enjoy the sparkling skyline.
The Darling Gold Coast Bathroom
The attention to detail in the opulent furnishings and fittings, including grand circular chandeliers, gilded finishes, state-of-the-art automation for lighting and window coverings, and bespoke artwork, was only rivalled by the spectacular 180-degree skyline vista, framed in floor-to-ceiling glass. The icing on the cake? A sensational wraparound balcony where we could catch a coastal breeze.
If you're anything like me, the only thing to coax you from these decadent digs will be the star-studded dining line-up beyond.
Dine your way around the Gold Coast here
The Darling Gold Coast Dining
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, evening cocktails, or a Saturday Bellini Brunch at the hotel's stylish rooftop restaurant and bar, Nineteen at The Star, is an absolute must for every guest. Read the reviews, and I know you'll agree! The 19th floor is also where you'll find the hotel's rooftop jewel: a shimmering infinity pool with stellar views.
The Darling Gold Coast Sky High Pool
The many and varied dining options on our doorstep at The Star meant we were spoiled for choice when the sun dipped beyond the horizon. We tossed up between modern seasonal cuisine at Garden Kitchen & Bar, the best Japanese food on the coast at Kiyomi, Mei Wei Dumplings, Cucina Vivo, and Uncle Su — where we'd enjoyed the most delicious Cantonese and Szechuan dishes on our last Gold Coast holiday. Being tragics for excellent Chinese food, we returned to Uncle Su and were not disappointed.
The Darling Gold Coast Food
Side note on dining at The Darling: room service comes highly recommended, especially for lovers of breakfast in bed.
Everything! Including the standard of service — it's first-class from arrival to departure. Why not spoil your love with a long weekend of wining, dining, and poolside fun at this impressive Gold Coast hotel? Take it up a notch with a side-by-side massage at The Star's Azure Spa sanctuary. Or, if you have an upcoming special occasion, throw an intimate friends-and-family dinner party with all the bells and whistles in your Penthouse Suite. Karaoke anyone?
Watch this space:
The Darling Gold Coast is the centrepiece of The Star's incredible transformation — but wait, there's more! Set to become Australia's largest integrated resort when completed in 2024, The Star has a raft of chic new accommodation, restaurants, bars, and upgrades still waiting to be revealed. Meaning we'll be back on the Gold Coast soon!

SBESS seeks financial autonomy from Students' Union

The School of Business and Economics Student Society (SBESS) wants a way out, but the Wilfrid Laurier University Students' Union (WLUSU) doesn't think it's that easy.
At the last Students' Union board of directors meeting on Dec. 4, SBESS president Brandon Van Dam and VP of engagement Denise Wang submitted a referendum question asking the student body to approve the removal of SBESS from WLUSU. However, the board shot down the proposal from SBESS by a vote of 0-12-2.
While the Students' Union has no oversight in terms of the management of SBESS, they do provide the allocated student fees for SBESS as well as a ten per cent take of their student levy for insurance, governance and other policies.
"It's a big trend among Canadian universities where faculty associations … are moving away from their Students' Unions because they feel that they are able to provide more direct value to their students," explained Van Dam. "And that's ultimately what we're here for."
According to Van Dam, SBESS would like to keep their funds under their control so that they have an easier time attending to their students' needs. In the past, "frustrations" have arisen between the two organizations, Van Dam claimed.
"We've had some issues in the past and some frustrations with the Students' Union, but we're looking at moving SBESS forward … and allowing us to grow," he added. "We're tidying up our resources, but we're dealing with bureaucratic and political things and we just want to spend our time efficiently."
"Especially the ones who are involved in a lot of [SBESS] clubs, we hear the frustrations most from them, so that's in part why we're investigating this," said Wang.
The referendum question was not approved, according to Students' Union chair and CGO Jordan Epstein, because of the Students' Union's letters patent with the Ontario government which states that WLUSU must collect all student fees and be the sole governing student body of the university. The Students' Union constitution must uphold the letters patent, therefore forcing the board to vote against the motion.
"So even if the board do go through with this referendum question, they couldn't because our letters patent say that we represent and collect fees for all students," said Epstein.
That was just for the motion, however, and SBESS still has the opportunity to remove itself from WLUSU through other methods. Similar to that of the Laurier Students' Public Interest Research Group and PRISM resources, SBESS could collect fees on their own but they must allow a student opt out of the fees.
But that depends on what operating agreement they have with the university if such permission was granted to separate.
"Due to non-tuition fee protocol, that's kind of a big component as to why this really can't go forward," said Students' Union president, Annie Constantinescu, adding that there are other issues in play when an organization becomes independent.
"They don't have their own board of governors, they don't have their own governance model, [and] they don't have full-time staff that is part of SBESS."
Furthermore, Epstein claimed that their operating costs would spike if they decided to go independent. Van Dam countered that by saying that SBESS has a lot of "connections" and support with the faculty to help out with those costs.
As a result of these talks between the two organizations, tensions have risen. Frustrations even surfaced online with one of the Students' Union's Reddit Ask Me Anything where students have time to ask the WLUSU management questions about student issues. Mediation between the two parties has been scheduled for January with both the university mediator and a third-party mediator.
"We've tried to address our concerns time again and again with the Students' Union and they're not being addressed. But what are our other options?" continued Van Dam, noting concerns about administration and monetary dealings of the Students' Union. He added that they have the support of the SBE faculty.
One of the issues that will be brought to mediation is SBESS's use of off-campus banking, which, according to Constantinescu, is strictly prohibited by WLUSU. Van Dam did not comment when asked about this use of off-campus banking. Constantinescu claimed that she has spoken with SBESS about this matter this year.
But Van Dam is hopeful that the organizations will be able to work together and that SBESS will eventually be granted its independence. It may not happen this year, but it's part of their five-year plan, he said.
"We're really looking forward to having this discussion and we're hoping that the Students' Union will be open to this discussion as well because we feel in the past that it necessarily hasn't and it's both ways. But we're open to the discussion," he explained,
"The big thing for us is if the Students' Union and SBESS are both able to take the political-ness out of it," he said.
SBESS governs a number of clubs such as Students Offering Support (SOS), Women in Leadership Laurier, The Link and Atrium Media Group.

1 Gate Egypt – The Opening of the 11:11 Doorway
nov 25 1991 in 1o. Portal Egito by emanaku
The Keynote of the First Gate of the 11:11 Doorway Is
HEALING OUR HEARTS
The Doorway of the 11:11 opened on January 11 – 12, 1992.
There were two Master Cylinders.
The Omega Point was located at the Great Pyramids in Egypt.
The Alpha Point was located in Queenstown, New Zealand.
On January 11 -12, 1992 over 144,000 people gathered together in groups large and small
throughout the planet and opened the Doorway of the 11:11.
This Activation was unique in that a series of Unified Movements and Sacred Dances
were performed at three preordained times – 11:11 am, 11:11 pm & 11:11 am GMT.
The participants wore white to symbolize the purity of our inherent Oneness.
Never before had there been an event of such synchronized unity on this planet.
With profound gratitude to all those who helped activate
the Doorway of the 11:11 in 1992.
There were two Master Cylinders for the Opening of the 11:11 Doorway which served as the stabilization pinions for the Wheels within Wheels Unified Movements. The Omega Point was located at the Great Pyramids in Giza, Egypt and it represented the place where the ancient energies began their departure from the planet. The Alpha Point in Queenstown, New Zealand represented the place where the new energies coming to Earth made their first landing.
Both of our Master Cylinders performed Unified Movements for thirty-eight continuous hours. The Egyptian group was composed of 500 people from thirty-six countries.
Throughout the planet, the Unified Movements were performed at 11:11 am, 11:11 pm & 11:11 am Greenwich Mean Time. It was during this GMT time, when the Master Cylinders and all the thousands of 11:11 Anchor Groups worldwide performed the movements at exactly the same time, that the Doorway of the 11:11 officially opened. Many participants saw a brilliant shaft of light anchor deep within the Earth at this time.
The purpose of this first 11:11 Activation was to open the Doorway of the 11:11. This Doorway is the transition zone or bridge between two very different evolutionary spirals; our old one which is anchored in duality and the new evolutionary spiral of Oneness. Each evolutionary spiral is aligned with different Great Central Sun Systems.
During the 11:11 Ceremony these two spirals overlapped and interlocked into a docking position. This Zone of Overlap is the actual Doorway of the 11:11. The overlapping of these evolutionary spirals remains in position until the 11:11 Doorway is complete. Then the two spirals of evolution will separate once again and all that have gone through as One Living Organic Being, will have emerged in a completely New Landscape.

Documenting the Screen Scene: 'A History of Screen Printing'
New book explores how an art evolved into an industry.
Andy MacDougall
Happy 100th birthday, screenprinting!
Although that's not technically true, it's close enough. Not too many manufacturing processes last 100 years in this fast-paced and ever-evolving world. Ours remains endemic in human culture, used in the manufacturing of consumer products from t-shirts to touchscreens and everything in-between, so there's no danger of it disappearing from use any time soon, regardless of what the digital prophets and their salespeople tell everyone. Ever wonder where and how it all started? There's a lot more than a few paragraphs on Wikipedia to the story, but there has never been a book on the subject. Until now.
A new book, History of Screen Printing – How an Art Evolved Into an Industry, tells the tale.
Written by Swiss author Guido Lengwiler and available this fall in English from ST Books, it has what is considered to be the first photograph of a screen printing operation, taken in 1913. From this shop, Brant & Garner Studio on Market St. in San Francisco, and a few other pioneers of the new "silk screen process" clustered in California, grew the industries we are all part of today. Concentrating on the period between the late 1800s up to the end of WW II, the book is full of previously unpublished information, stories, and lots of amazing photos. Although this is an historical text, properly cross-referenced with sources, it reads like an adventure novel at times, and has the look of an art book.
The DNA of those first silk-screen shops spread internationally in the 1920s, and found new markets and new uses through the 1930s. It spawned the printed electronics industry and played a significant role in WWII – on all sides. The book traces how it happened, with first-hand accounts uncovered through meticulous research, tracking down and interviewing family members of the pioneers of the process throughout the world.
Connecting thousands of bits of information into a well written narrative is a challenge, but Lengwiler – a teacher of screenprinting – has made sense of it all by painting a clear picture of what came before, and how screenprinting arrived just as the American advertising industry began. One drove the other.
The "Selectasine Process," a patented version of screenprinting, was the first to come with instruction books, supplies, and even automated presses back in the 1920s. Through aggressive salesmanship to printers, sign shops, and manufacturing companies, the knowledge spread. Due to low startup costs compared to other printing processes, plus an adaptability to an ever widening range of substrates and products, silk-screen printing caught on. Selectasine eventually fell by the wayside, but not before the process had been adapted worldwide – all in a few short years. Many of the families that helped Lengwiler in his research found old photos and diaries and made them available for inclusion in the book (and in some cases, Lengwiler was able to provide descendants new information about their relatives).
It's these connections being lost to the past that spurred the author to start his research in 1998. As a young screenprinter in Switzerland, Lengwiler worked for a man who himself had worked for Hans Casper Ulrich in the 1940s, and told screenprinting adventure stories from the "good old days." Ulrich, an artist and trained lithographer, had gone to the USA in the 1920s on behalf of the Swiss bolting cloth industry, who wanted to know why a small group of artists, signshops, and manufacturers in the US were buying up ever increasing amounts of their silk fabrics mostly used in flour mills for sifting. Ulrich learned the basics from the Americans, kept copious notes, then brought the process back to Europe and continued to refine it, and then spread it through supply company Serico, which is still in business today.
Today, of course, screen printing is used in a variety of markets and industries – from high-tech manufacturing sectors like the solar and fuel cell industries and the electronic products industry to the automotive industry, medical, glass and ceramic applications, and much more. The list is ever expanding, and Lengwiler has rescued this largely forgotten and rapidly disappearing history of the birth of the printing process we all now use.
Some of the book's chapters include: 19th- and 20th-century stenciling techniques; origins of the process in the USA; how it spread from the USA to Europe; technical developments; World War II; specialty applications; a list of patents; and much more. The hardcover book "weighs in" at 6 pounds and comprises more than 500 pages, measuring 12.2 x 9.8 x 4 inches.
Richard S. Field, retired professor at Yale and a noted author of many books on art and biographies of artists writes, "What a wonderful, much needed, and long overdue book this is…."
