Print: The gold border around the black text should be even on all sides. The fake product will have some inconsistency.
Tab: The pull tab on the authentic product is a forest green color and the fake product is champagne. It is also shorter in length compared to the real palette.
Size: The fake palette is a tiny bit bulkier than the original.
Color: The color of the palette is more noticeable when open. The original palette should have the banners completely white. The fake palette is more of a pink tone.
Text: The 3 categories "Day, Classic, and Fashion" should be in bold.
Shadows: The eyeshadows should fill the insert as opposed to the fake palette where the shadows are smaller.
Bottom: When you flip the palette over with the tab closest to you, the original palette should have the text upside down. The counterfeit will have the text upright.

No probate proceedings are required to sell real property if the real property is an asset wholly owned by a trust. Note, though, that in this case a filing often needs to be made with the county recorders office to remove the deceased's name from the title so that a sale can occur.
If there is no trust covering the property, then it may be possible to file only a spousal petition (versus going through a full-blown probate) if the surviving spouse has 100% unqualified ownership of the real property (meaning there are no-owners, it is not merely a life-estate, etc.). Usually this requires either a will giving 100% of the property to the surviving spouse, or the deed to the property having been held by the spouses in joint tenancy (with right of survivorship) or community property with right of survivorship. If this is not the case, then a probate is almost always required.
With one exception, if the personal representative (executor) wishes to sell real property that is part of the probate estate, the property can only be sold with Court approval and notice to those who have an interest in the property – and the sales price must be for at least 90% of the appraised value.
The one exception is where the personal representative has been given authority to act under the Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA) and the property is not being purchased by the personal representative or his/her attorney. In that situation the "at least 90%" rule and the requirement that the personal representative "obtain the highest and best price for the property reasonably attainable" do not apply . The request for authority under the IAEA may be made at any time, though this is usually done as part of the initial petition for probate. Any interested party can object to the grant of authority, although the Court must grant the authority unless an objecting party can show good cause. If authority is granted, letters testamentary must also be obtained showing that authority.
With a sale of one to four units of owner-occupied property located in California where a loan secured by the property is in default, the sale agreement must comply with California's relatively intricate pre-foreclosure sale statutes. To be safe, anyone indicated in any will as receiving an interest in the property, any surviving spouse and anyone receiving an interest under the intestacy laws (if there is no will) should be considered an owner.
In any case, the personal representative must give notice of the sale to all affected parties. The notice must include all material terms of the transaction, including the sales price and the amount of any commission. Notice need not be given if all interested parties may sign a waiver of notice or a consent to the request for authority.
In estates that require a bond (any estate where a will does not specifically say that no bond is required), the Court will generally set the bond equal to the amount of the equity in the property plus the value of the personal property, plus twice the value of the annual income from all estate property. The premium for the bond is often approximately one percent (1%) of this total. One possible way to avoid paying a bond premium is to have all interested parties (beneficiaries, etc.) sign a waiver. Note that most bonding companies will not issue a bond if the personal representative is not formally represented by an attorney.
Although this is not technically a problem for the purchaser, at the end of the probate the personal representative – even with full authority under the Independent Administration of Estates Act – is required to file an account when seeking final distribution. The personal representative must list and describe the sale of the real property, including when it was done, when and to whom notice was given, whether notice was waived and by whom, and whether objections were received. Still, if an interested party failed to object to the proposed sale at the time the notice of sale of the real property was given, then that failure constitutes a waiver of the right to object to the accounting. This waiver requires that the notice was properly given and the party actually received the notice before the time to object expired. For this reason, it is crucial to ensure that proper notice is given and that there is proof that the notice was received. The Court may review the sale only in very limited cases, such as when the recipient of notice lacked capacity or notice was not given to the legal representative of a disabled heir.

Q: qt project cannot find plugin - set via importPaths from qmlproject file? A customer provided a QML project v1.1 from Qt Creator 2.6.1 and it cannot find an import path of one of the plugins:
I set it to:
importPaths: [ "plugins/com/myCustomer/hmiframework"]

this is the directory of the .dll files, but the qml files are not finding the libs.
I am getting this error on the import code:
 import com.myCustomer.hmiframework 1.0

here is the error:
Error while loading project file C:/Users/elswick/Documents/Customers/myCustomer/docs/project/name/project.qmlproject.
file:///C:/Users/elswick/Documents/Customers/myCustomer/project/name/project.qmlproject:20 Property value set multiple times

not sure where to go from here.  The error shown when I select Design is this:
QML module not found

Import paths:
C:/Users/elswick/Documents/Customers/myCustomer/docs/project/name/plugins/com/myCustomer/hmiframework

For qmake projects, use the QML_IMPORT_PATH variable to add import paths.
for qmlproject projects, use the importPaths property to add import paths. (2:1)

thanks.

A: i think there is an error in your project at (or around) line 20 where a property value is set multiple times. this means, that you have to fix this error, before qtcreator can load the module.

Today is National Swap Idea Day! Didn't you know that?? :D Well we knew and we decided to commemorate it by throwing together a blogger swap with some of our favorite DIY girls from around the web. Amazing right!?
Well since we got to come up with a fun project, send it to a blogger we highly admire AND we received a fantastic project to keep and display on our desks, we sure think it's pretty amazing!
This is only the first in what we hope to become a quarterly blogger swapping collaboration! Each swap will feature a theme and for our first one we chose desk accessories/office supplies and organizing tools. I may have been leaning towards that because I felt like my desk really needed some accessories and organizing help. Call it manipulative but I DON'T CARE because I got the most perfect thing back from Christina of Christina Williams Blog and it has completed my desk, nay I say my life!
Isn't this desk caddy so nifty?! I love how each little glass fits perfectly in it's spot and is filled with cute and necessary items and I OBVIOUSLY love the mint color, it's perfect for my space! Can you believe I had no push pins?? Seriously! I didn't own one and I often need them so I couldn't be happier that I now have so many! I think a cork board DIY may be in my near future..
I love Christina's project, I love that I get to keep it and I love all the other amazing projects the other bloggers came up with! Head on over here to get Christina's DIY and then visit the rest of these awesome ladies projects and follow along with their blogs and instagrams, you will NOT regret it!
My project may not be as useful as the one I received but I just hope Sara didn't need any push pins! haha! I think this little marquee light came out super cute and, for me, it's important to have whimsical pieces around my work area that keep me motivated and inspired so I hope Sara gets that out of this piece.
This was super easy and with all the holiday lights hitting store shelves you shouldn't have a hard time completing one yourself! Yours can say whatever you want but I provided the template for the word fun if you want to do one just like ours. Click through for the full how-to! And make sure you visit the rest of these awesome ladies' blogs and projects!
1. I made the word "fun" and the template for that is available here. But you can make any word you want. This screenshot shows how I made it. I basically picked a super bold font, decreased the space between each letter, resized them to the size I wanted (3″) and then changed the fill to 0% and gave it a 5 pt black stroke.
2. Print out your word and cut it out.Make sure you leave all letters connected.
3. Trace this word on to your foam board.
4. Cut this out with a utility or xacto knife.
5. Mark where you want your lights to poke through. I got my lights at Big Lots, they're a battery powered and a strand of 20 so you need to make sure you're only making as many holes as you have lights.
I basically made a grid on my word and made holes where the grid intercepted. There were three holes down on each vertical part of the letters.
6. Poke through to create your holes. I used the tip of my mechanical pencil for this and it was perfect. I poked until I felt it just stick through the other side then poked through the back as well.
7. Cut strips from your poster board. Mine were 2″ wide.
8. You will want to score your folds to get super neat creases since this light is so small. You don't necessarily need a tool for this, you can makeshift your own.
Hold your strip up to your word and then mark with a pencil where it needs to fold. Score this mark and then fold along it. Keep re-fitting it around your work and marking the next fold.
9. Use a hot glue gun to adhere your strips to your word. Use only a little at a time so it doesn't ooze out, it's pretty noticeable once it's painted!
10. Once your all done outlining your letter, spray paint it with several coats of your chosen color. I used Rustoleum Ocean Mist.
11. Poke your lights through your holes until they just poke through and no wire shows from the front.
Place on your workspace or use at a party or just wherever you want some FUN!
I think a similar DIY for Halloween or Christmas might be in my near future! And I hope one for your desk is in yours!
This is so 'fun' ;). It looks so cute, I love it!
looks adorable can't wait to try it out!
it looks adorable can't wait to try it out!


The Age of Adaline, Little Boy and The Water Diviner are among the movies opening in theaters this weekend.
Furious 7 again topped the weekend box office, coming in north of $29 million for the third straight weekend. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 debuted with $23.76 million. Unfriended debuted with $18.4 million to round out the top three. Home pulled in $10.6 million in its fourth weekend of release The Longest Ride brought in $7 million in its second weekend of release.
Furious 7 will likely pass the $300 million domestic mark today and will likely close in on the $1.2 billion mark worldwide by the end of the weekend.
Unfriended beat expectations with its $16 million and left those financially behind the film quite happy, considering its budget of just $1 million.
Blake Lively stars as Adaline Bowman in the romantic fantasy film. Adaline is cursed with the whole not-aging-after-a-certain-point thing. Lively's character attempts to keep her distance from any potential relationship but because this is a movie, "love finds her". Variety points out how enjoyable The Age of Adaline is despite having a somewhat ridiculous premise.
Little Boy is set in the World War II era and has drawn some rather unfavorable reviews because of it. Jakob Salvati plays the character whose nickname is also the film's title. Salvati has made guest appearances in several different television shows, but this is his first major movie role. Kevin James, Michael Rapaport, David Henrie and Emily Watson also star.
Russell Crowe directs and stars in The Water Diviner, a "chintzy historical epic" according to A.V. Club. The film has faced protests from groups saying it's portrayal of the treatment of Greeks and Armenians in the early 1900s is historically inaccurate. Crowe recently spoke to E! Online about the emotional connection he has to The Water Diviner.
Adult Beginners seems a bit like Happy Christmas, just with Nick Kroll playing Anna Kendrick's role. Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale and Joel McHale are also on the bill. A.V. Club points out what a different role this is for Kroll. Kroll and Joel McHale sat down with ComingSoon.net and talked about Adult Beginners. Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale have been dating in real life since 2012. They previously worked on set together in the Annie remake, where Byrne was excellent. They are also together in Spy along with Melissa McCarthy, which will hit theaters on June 5th.
Adult Beginners will be available to watch tomorrow on VUDU as well as in theaters.
American Sniper finally makes its way to Keller 8 Cinema this weekend. The Clint Eastwood-directed film opened on Christmas Day at the end of last year and currently sits at just under $348 million domestically at the box office.
Unbroken and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies are now available to rent at your local Redbox.

Leslie's Legacy
After more than two decades, Leslie Taylor leaves a lasting legacy
story by Nik Olsen
July 27, 1997 was Leslie Taylor's first day in Fort Collins. That evening, rain was falling as she returned from a Colorado State University Athletics fundraiser at Fox Acres in Red Feather Lakes and by morning, campus had been inundated by floodwaters.
Helping CSU student-athletes navigate the flood recovery was just the beginning of Taylor's impact. During her 24 years on campus, she worked as an academic counselor in athletics, in the Office of Admissions, in web communications, and as assistant vice president for enrollment communications. She also is a member of the President's Native American Advisory Council and a strong supporter of the Native American Cultural Center in the Division of Student Affairs.
Taylor has served as Vice President for Enrollment and Access since 2017, starting as interim. At the end of 2021, she will say goodbye to that role and her work on campus. But because of the connections she's built and the friendships she's made, she always will remain a valued member of the CSU community.
"Where else do you walk around where you work and see literal world-changing agents next to students finding their way?" Taylor asked as she sat in her Johnson Hall office overlooking CSU's historic Oval.
After arriving with the 1997 flood, Taylor is ending her work at CSU amid the global COVID pandemic.
"My career here has been bookended by two of the most significant challenges in our campus history," Taylor said. "These have been big challenges, but CSU came out stronger after the 1997 flood, and I believe we will be stronger after this pandemic."
Focusing on students
Taylor's role on campus evolved with the institution, but her heart was always with students. She worked tirelessly to recruit and support new students, developing a deep commitment to fostering student success. Her favorite days on campus were the move-in days, followed by commencement ceremonies – and of course, the days the residence halls empty out, a symbolic hallmark of another successful academic year completed.
Celebrating Leslie Taylor
Join the celebration to say farewell to Leslie Taylor, Vice President for Enrollment and Access, and former University Registrar Chris Seng at their retirement celebration from 3-5:30 p.m., Dec. 8, at the New Belgium Porch at Canvas Stadium. Remarks at 3:45 p.m.
"Leslie is one-of-a-kind and has a deep knowledge of what guides students to choose a place to continue their education," said President Joyce McConnell. "She's helped CSU grow its student population while other institutions struggled to do so."
"During the time we've worked together," said McConnell, "I've seen how Leslie's warm personality, sense of humor and deep empathy for others really amplified her impact. We are so grateful for the more than two decades of service she's given to CSU."
Those who have worked with and learned from Taylor know she has understood the importance of the "Big A's" of higher ed: Admissions, Academics, Alumni, Athletics, and Advancement. Alongside her passion for admissions work, she is a deft communicator, whose skills in web communications helped shepherd CSU from a time when the internet and sending emails were more novelty than necessity. She helped CSU recalibrate its homepage into an engaging and active communications platform, while others still treated the web as nothing more than a passive repository for information.
"Leslie is one-of-a-kind and has a deep knowledge of what guides students to choose a place to continue their education. She's helped CSU grow its student population while other institutions struggled to do so."
— President Joyce McConnell
After her success in CSU's web communications, Taylor returned to the enrollment world, where she worked closely with Melissa Trifiletti before Trifiletti was named vice president. Trifiletti passed away in 2018 after a battle with cancer, and Taylor was asked to lead the Division of Enrollment and Access.
Like her professional involvement at CSU, Taylor's role as a member of the larger CSU community also evolved over the years. As an Indigenous woman on campus, she says she grew into a strong advocate for tribal affairs and the Indigenous community at CSU. She had just moved into her role as vice president when two Native American students on a campus tour were taken aside by CSU police officers after someone on the tour had reported them as "suspicious." Taylor helped implement changes to prevent future misunderstandings and assure that everyone who visited would be treated with respect and feel welcome on campus.
Taylor values her connections with faculty members like Roe Bubar, Irene Vernon and Mary Ontiveros, as well as other members of the CSU Multicultural Staff and Faculty Network and Womxn of Color Network. "I realized there was responsibility in being who I was," she said. "The last eight years, that network of people on campus has meant the world to me, and I will miss it so much," she said.
Bubar noted that CSU is saying goodbye to its highest-ranking Native American woman. She says Taylor is a person who has an innate sense of power dynamics in meetings and groups and is known for her advocacy on behalf of those who have been marginalized. Taylor also has served as a mentor for younger Native professionals at CSU, not only helping create a sense of community, but greatly impacting recruitment and retention.
Taylor also is known for her strong dedication to assuring the success of all students admitted to CSU.
"She takes her role very seriously," Bubar said of Taylor. "She is committed to their success. It's not just a job to her."
Leslie Taylor with Temple Grandin in 2017.
Taylor served under four presidents and had the opportunity to work alongside great minds like Temple Grandin, Diana Wall, Graeme Stephens and Bernie Rollin. She was here to listen to speeches from leaders like Susan Rice, Jane Goodall and Mikhail Gorbachev.
Kathy Phifer, who worked alongside Taylor in Aylesworth Hall for years, heralded Taylor's impact on CSU.
"If Aylesworth walls could talk … oh, what stories they could tell," Phifer said. "Meeting Leslie at CSU and having the opportunity to work with her will always be one of the highlights of my life."
"She has made me a better person in so many ways, while also making CSU a better place with her passion for education and commitment to diversity and equity," Phifer said. "From her early start in Admissions, to helping to launch CSU's web-world, to solid communication guidance in External Relations, and full circle back to Enrollment and Access, she always has been the best leader, colleague, mentor and friend. Her impact is evergreen and her legacy will remain strong. We are all better humans because Leslie has been at a CSU Ram – green and gold, through and through."
While she leaves with many memories, Taylor says there are experiences that stand out that she will certainly miss, experiences like walking through the Lory Student Center to remind herself of the reasons why we are all here.
"And I'll really miss the Oval, our 'Cathedral of Trees'," she said with a smile, promising to remain a part of the CSU community. "I plan to take advantage of all the retirement benefits!"

Switching to a four-day working week could make us happier and more productive
James Purtill
Posted 21 Feb 2019 21 Feb 2019 Thu 21 Feb 2019 at 5:29am
A scene from the movie Sorry To Bother You. (Supplied)
When New Zealand financial services company Perpetual Guardian began a trial of a four-day working week early last year, many employers and policymakers watched with interest.
Sure, the idea sounds good, but does it work?
Under the eight-week trial, Perpetual Guardian switched its 240 staff from a five-day to a four-day week and maintained their pay.
The results were promising enough that in November last year management gave staff the choice to opt into the policy and work 30 hours instead of 37.5.
Unsurprisingly, it was a popular move.
The experiment was monitored by academics at the University of Auckland and Auckland University of Technology.
Their research, published this week, found productivity increased in the four days worked by 20 per cent, so there was no drop in the total amount of work done.
Staff wellbeing and satisfaction pre-trial and post-trial
Stress levels: Down from 45 per cent to 38 per cent
Work-life balance: Up from 54 per cent to 78 per cent
Leadership: Up from 64 per cent to 82 per cent
Commitment: Up from 68 per cent to 88 per cent
Stimulation: Up from 66 per cent to 84 per cent
Empowerment: Up from 68 per cent to 86 per cent
It also found that - compared to a staff survey in 2017 - employees felt less stressed and more simulated, empowered and committed.
In other words, staff were more productive and apparently happier.
"[Employees] spoke of the need to 'have each other's backs' in order to make the new policy work," University of Auckland's Dr Helen Delaney said.
"Many employees also spoke of increased levels of intellectual stimulation and creativity during the trial.
"A number of employees said the trial had helped increase their confidence and help them have more say over how they worked.
"Some felt more confident about making decisions and being proactive - a sentiment echoed by management."
Australians work long hours, but how much is productive?
Australians are currently working long hours, and many want to work fewer.
Although the mean weekly hours has fallen since 2002, that's partly due to the increase in underemployment. Australia ranks ninth among OECD nations (most of the developed countries in the world) for its share of long-hour workers - people who usually work more than 50 hours each week.
A 2015 national survey found 26 per cent of all employed persons would prefer to work fewer hours (and 16 per cent would prefer to work more).
Despite the long hours, the time spent working may not be so high.
A 2017 UK study found the average time spent working is two hours and 53 minutes each day, with the rest going to social media, news websites, non-work chats with co-workers, taking meal and drinks breaks, going out for a smoke, and searching for new jobs.
Almost 80 per cent said they were not productive throughout the entire working day and over half said distractions made the working day "more bearable".
In the 2018 book Bullshit Jobs, anthropologist David Graeber contends the reason the productivity benefits of automation have not led to a 15-hour work week - as predicted by economists in 1930 - is due to the rise of pointless work in services industries.
"More and more employees find themselves ... working 40 or even 50 hour weeks on paper, but effectively working 15 hours just as [John Maynard Keynes] predicted," he wrote.
The rest of their time is spent organizing or attending motivational seminars, updating their Facebook profiles or downloading TV box-sets.
Since the 1950s, the idea of diminishing productivity has been known as Parkinson's Law, which is that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion".
A 2015 survey by UK market research company YouGov appears to support this; 37 per cent of British workers think their jobs are meaningless.
Staff at Perpetual Guardian reported that when the working week was shorter, everyone became more conscious of not wasting time.
The company's CEO, Andrew Barnes, has called on other corporate bosses to follow his lead, saying the four-day week is "an idea whose time has come".
The NZ company says it has received 350 requests from 28 countries, including Australia, for its how-to-guide for making the switch to shorter hours.
The UK's Wellcome Trust, the world's second-largest research donor, has announced it is considering a trial that will see all 800 head office staff moving to a four-day week.

The biggest threat of breaking chain of custody is holding evidence that is inadmissible in courtroom.

Hello everyone! I'm ushering in December here on the eP blog with this great wintery Christmas card today using this Aspen Trees 6x6 template from The Crafter's Workshop.
I mixed up some Ranger Distress Inks to create this card today using some Inkssentials Mini-Mister spray bottles. In one bottle I mixed a dropper full of Tumbled Glass ink and water, and in another mister I added a dropper full of Chipped Sapphire ink and water. Then I taped the template down onto white cardstock and did some misting, using the darker Sapphire at the bottom and the lighter Tumbled Glass at the stop. After everything dried I dotted on some glue from a Sakura Quickie Glue pen and sprinkled on some ultrafine glitter for snow. Then I added an all-over iridescent mist from Perfect Pearls spray. The sentiment comes from a Flourishes stamp set, and the little cardinal was cut out with my Silhouette using this digital file.
That's all for today…. happy stamping!

complains, in more than one place, of the rival influence which the eloquence of the limbs had won, in the assembly of the people, for certain dancers. Nor, indeed — though he overlooked the fact, and historians less exact than ourselves have constantly passed it by was this ascendancy of the dance unmerited in a commonwealth, whose liberties were, by it, tuice saved — first, when, with swords concealed in garlands of myrtle, and dancing in the Panathenaic procession, Harmodius and Aristogiton contrived to approach so near the guarded person of the public usurper, as to be able to fall upon and slay him; and yet again, when, in the guise of dancing-girls, their faces concealed with chaplets of poplar leaves, Thrasybulus and his companions broke in upon the lewd revel of the Thirty Tyrants, and put them to death.
Of the Arcadian dances, and of the important part which they bore, in the institutions of that primitive people of the central Peloponesus, we cannot better give an account, than in the words of the younger Anacharsis : •The rigors of their mountain climate give (says he) strength to their bodies, and a kindred rudeness to their minds. To soften this native ferocity, sages of a superior genius perceived that, in order to enlighten them, they must be approached through new sensations. They took care, therefore, to lead them into a taste for poetry, song, the dance, and festivals. Never did all the radiance of knowledge or reason work, in the manners, a revolution so prompt and general. Its effects have perpeiuated themselves even down to our days; because the Arcadians have never ceased to cultivate the arts from which those effects arose.'
'Invited, every day, to sing, at their repasts, it would be held a shame, in any one, to be unacquainted with music; which, from their very childhood, they are all compelled to practice. The music of the Flute directs their steps and their evolutions, whether in the festival, or under arms. The magistrates, strongly persuaded that these humanizing arts can alone preserve the nation from the iniluence of the climate, cause annual assemblies of the young pupils to be held, and make them execute dances, in order that they may judge of their progress. The example of the Cynetheans justifies these precautions. This little tribe, placed in the northern part of Arcadia, in the midst of nounlains and under an inclement sky, constantly refused to be seduced into these usages ; and accordingly fell, at last, into so savage a ferocity, that their very name is never pronounced without dread.' – Barthelemi, Ch. 52.
Behold the true art of taming the savage, and leading him to civilization! Better than the lessons of an elevated faith, and of a morality far too refined for their condition : better than fire-arms; better than burning at the stake; better than blood-hounds; better even than the white-man's two great gifts of Gunpowder and Rum ; this was what Bible Societies never thought of, and what missionaries could never have devised - unless, indeed, they had been, what they should have been — that is to say, dancing-masters. Teach the arms and legs first; and the head will learn by and by.
How well, in this particular, might modern truth turn scholar to ancient fable! Consider, for instance, the vast, the persevering attempts, reiterated with such a lavish expenditure of gold and of enthusiasm, to soften and to christianize rude nations : compare their methods and their success with the arts by which, when banished from the skies, the son of Latona tamed the savage herdsmen, among whom he found himself cast. Did he, with an aspect of vinegar, a voice like saw-filing, and the gesture of a pump-handle, preach to
them the renunciation of the few coarse delights, that made the only pleasures of a merely physical existence ? No: he won them, first of all, to gentler enjoyments and more innocent occupations. Assembling them about him, with the music of his well-modulated pipe, he taught them to beguile, by new sensations, the intervals of their rude employments. He taught them to pipe, to sing, to form rustic dances in the shade, and presently rural festivals. By such amusements, he dispelled their native ferocity. Presently, he taught them agricul. ture; and so conducted them up to civilization, through all the gradations that lie between it and savage life. To effect all this, dancing was a far better instrument than the purest possible truth and religion. Return we, however, to our history.
Of the authority of dancing among the Thebans, we have sufficient evidence, in the fact that the illustrious Epaminondas the noblest and the most accomplished citizen that state ever produced — excelled both in music and the dance. Hence the lustre to which his commonwealth rose, under him. At Delos, at Delphos, in the Eleusynian celebrations, in the Isthmian and in the Olympic games, the religious observances of the Greeks were every where adorned and made cheerful with the dance. At Athens, it formed even a part of the funeral honors, originally bestowed upon their princes, but which came, afterward, to be imitated in the obsequies of private citizens.
If, froin Greece, we pass to Italy, we find the dance figuring there, too, in the foundation and the progress of institutions. Its simpler state marks the purity of their early manners; its period of excellence, their full refinement, about the time of Cicero and Augustus; and its corruption, under the emperors, the decay and ruin of the state. The martial dances of the Salian priests were instituted by the great Roman law-giver, Numa; who probably derived them, with many others of his political ideas, from the Etruscans. That great sage saw that, to form a well-ordered state, the dance was indispensable, and gave it, accordingly, an important place in his code.
Turn we now, once more, to the East, to that admirable Egyptian dance, in which manners were enforced, and the judgment of each citizen's entire life rendered, by the pantomimic performance which accompanied bis funeral. In this, a skilful ballet-master (the Archimime,) personating the deceased in looks, in dress, and in carriage, represented, with rigorous impartiality, the main incidents of his life, and whatever was characteristic in it; and so held up, to the universal view, an image of the departed man, that formed a mute but expressive encomium or satire.
The dances of the Hebrews, we did not attempt to trace lower than the time of Noah. After him, there is a seeming interregnum of Jewish saltation. Abraham and his immediate progeny to have danced. They were a family, not a nation ; and dancing, as we have already seen, belongs to the rise of social institutions, not to men yet unformed into a community. It is, accordingly, only at the separation of the Jews from the Egyptians that it makes its appearance.
It then burst out, however, with extraordinary brilliancy. Our readers cannot, of course, have forgotten how, when Israel had safely passed the Red Sea, leaving Busiris and bis Memphian chivalry' to flounder in the waves, Moses (as niay be seen in the fifteenth
do not appear
chapter of Exodus,) thundered out a triumphant song before the Lord, the whole people joining him, in chorus ; while Miriam, the Prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her, with timbrels and with dances. This, it will be observed, was not only the earliest ballet upon record, but, though danced by an entire people, a strict impromptu ; which shows how skilfully the Hebrews had learned, during their captivity, to take part in such performances. From this time till the setting up of the Golden Calf, Moses appears to have kept them, by dint of marching, somewhat too leg-weary for dancing. There, however, while he tarried in the mount, they took occasion to have a hop, in honor of the Golden Calf. This piece of idolatry, by-the-by, has always appeared to us far more innocent than it usually passes for having been. People who had been so long wandering, upon short commons, in a desert, were surely pardonable for reverting, with a too fond adoration, to the fat beef they had left behind them. But this is beside our present mark. Moses, however, had, of course, learnt all the dance of the Egyptians, in exploring (as he did) their sciences, of which it was the vehicle. His skill he transmitted to his successors, the Levites; who, upon all signal occasions of thanksgiving, invented and executed, in public, solemn dances. In one of these, we find King David, that friend of heaven, bearing distinguished part. For when the Ark of the Covenant was removed from the house of Obed-edom, to Teraits, • David danced before the Lord, with all his might,' (II Samuel 6, 14. Of this dance, a minute description may be found in some of the commentators. Dom Calmet makes it abundantly clear, that it was a perfect opera; the entertainment consisting of no less than seven different corps de ballet, who danced to the jews-barp, and all the other musical instruments known among the Hebrews. That the Psalms were originally composed for such occasions, and danced, as well as sung, all the more learned annotators agree. Nay, in the temples built by Onias, the high priest, at Jerusalem, Garisim and Alexandria, there was a part formed like a theatre ; and here music and dancing were performed, with great pomp. This arrangement long subsisted in the Christian churches, and gave its name to what we still call the Choir.
Thus far, we have traced the dance only in its higher and purer forms. The less grateful, though still curious task remains, of exploring its corruptions and decline, with its accidental aspects, in different times and nations.

How bright are the dew-drops, the tears of the night!
They beam in morn's sunbeams like globules of light,
They will melt into mist : bubbles brighter than they
In the garden of life flee in vapor away.
As the stream swiftly dashing through flower-chequered meadows,
May repose in some pool that the willow o'ershadows,
So the heart that in youth has through pleasure run riot,
In the shadow of age, grows enamour'd of quiet.

A BETTER number of the North American - one more various and attractive for the general reader — has not come under our observation for many a quarter. There are nine reviews, or articles proper, together with several brief but well digested and discriminating critical notices of recent minor publications. Of some of the former, it is our purpose to take a cursory notice. The first paper is upon Drake's · Biography and History of the Indians of North America, from its First Discovery to the Present Time: with an Account of their Antiquities, Manners and Customs, Religions and Laws.' As an able correspondent of this Magazine, fully conversant with the aboriginal history, if we may so term it, of this country, proposes soon to furnish a short series of brief articles upon this interesting subject, we shall dismiss the review under notice, with the reinark, that it is prepared with great clearness of detail, touching upon the origin of the American Indians, their chiefs, character, monuments, fortifications, remains, etc., embracing, beside, an account of the southern aborigines, and a history of the origin of the late war in that quarter.
* American Forest Trees,' a review of Browne's • Sylva Americana,' constitutes the second article. The three divisions of the work the structure and growth of trees generally, descriptions of the different species of the forest trees of this country, and observations on the rearing and management of trees - are separately treated, and in a way calculated to awaken and sustain attention, not more by the manner of the reviewer, than by the various knowledge which he evinces of the matter in hand. The information conveyed in relation to the white pine, white oak, sugar maple, and elm trees, of the American forests, is highly valuable as well as interesting. A graphic and spirited description of the processes of the lumbering business, in the immense pine regions of Maine, with some juclicious and appropriate remarks in relation to the planting of forest trees, and the effect of scenery in exciting a love of country, worthily close this paper.
The two succeeding articles are, 'Modern French Poetry,' and 'Laborde's Journey in Arabia Petræa.' The first is evidently from the hand of one who has drank at the well-springs of the best modern poetical literature of France; and his translations from Lamartine and Béranger, declare not only the correctness of his taste, but his intimate acquaintance with the beauties, as well as the difficult idioins and involutions of the language. The paper on Arabia Petræa, being based upon a work kindred in character to one noticed elsewhere in this department, we pass, with a general acknow. ledgment of its interest and ability.
The most important of the different rail-roads, completed, in progress of completion, or contemplated, in the several states of the Union, are considered in article vi, a review of Poussin on American Rail-roads. The whole is a compendium of valuable facts, useful not less as a current record, than for future reference. VOL. IX.
Cleverly off with his task has the writer come, be he who may, who penned the review of "The great Metropolis.' The satire, though pointed and keen, is polished ; while the language is easy and flowing, with a smack of · Elia' felicity running through it. We subjoin a paragraph or two, in illustration of our ecomiums
"We have an affection for a great city. We feel safe in the neighborhood of man, and enjoy • the sweet security of streets.' The excitement of the crowd is pleasant to us. We find sermons in the stones of side-walks. In the continuous sound of voices, and wheels, and footsteps, we hear the sad music of humanity.' We feel that life is not a dream, but an earnest reality ; that the beings around us are not the insects of a day, but the pilerims of an eternity; they are our fellow-creatures, each with his history of thousandfold occurrences, insignificant it may be to us, but all-im. portant to himself; each with a human heart, whose fibres are woven into the great web of human sympathies; and none so small, that, when he dies, some of the mysterious meshes are not broken. The green earth, and the air, and the sea, all living and all lifeless things, preach unto us the gospel of a great and good providence; but most of all does man, in his crowded cities, and in his man fold powers, and wants, and passions, and deeds, preach this same gospel. He is the great evangelist. And though oftentimes, unconscious of his mission, or reluctant to fulfil it, he leads others astray, even then to the thoughtful mind he preaches. We are in love with Nature, and most of all with human nature. The face of man is a benediction to us. The greatest works of his handicraft delight us hardly less than the greatest works of Nat'ire. They are the masterpieces of her own masterpiece. Architecture, and painting, and sculpture, and music, and epic poems, and all the forms of art, wherein the hand of genins is visible, please us evermore, for they conduct us into the fellowship of great minds. And thus our sympathies are with men, and streets, and citygates, and towers from which the great bells sound solemnly and slow,and cathedraldoors, where venerable statues, holding books in their hands, look down like sentinels upon the church-going multitude, and the birds of the air come and build their nests in the arms of saints and apostles. And more than all this, in great cities we learn to look the world in the face. We shake hands with stern realities. We see ourselves in others. We become acquainted with the motley, many-sided life of man; and finally learn, if we are wise, to look upon a metropolis as a collection of villages; a village as some blind alley in a metropolis; fame as the talk of neighbors at the street door; a library as a learned conversation : joy as a second ; sorrow as a minute; life as a day; and three things as all in all, God, Creation, Virtue.'
"Forty-five miles westward from the North Sea, in the lap of a broad and pleasant valley watered by the Thames, stands the Great Metropolis, as all the world knows. It comprises the City of London and its Liberties, with the City Liberties of Westminster, the Borough of Southwark, and upwards of thirty of the contiguous villages of Middlesex and Surry. East and west, its greatest length is about eight miles; north and south, its greatest breadth about five: its circumference from twenty to thirty. Its population is estimated at two millions. The vast living tide goes thundering through its ten thousand streets in one unbroken roar. The noise of the great thoroughfares is deafening. But you step aside into a by-lane, and anon you emerge into little green squares half filled with sunshine, half with shade, where no sound of living thing is heard, save the voice of a bird or a child, and amid solitude and silence you gaze in wonder at the great trees 'growing in the heart of a brick-and-mortar wilderness.' Then there are the three parks, Hyde, Regent's, and St. James's, where you may lose yourself in green alleys, and dream you are in the country; Westminister Abbey, with its tombs and solemn cloisters, where with the quaint George Herbert you may think, that when the bells do chime, 't is angels' music;' and high žbove all
, half hidden in smoke and vapor, rises the dome of St. Paul's. " These are a few of the more striking features of London. More striking still is the Thames. Above the town, by Richmond Hill and Twickenham, it winds through groves and meadows green, a rural silver stream. The traveller who sees it here for the first time, can hardly believe, that this is the mighty river which bathes the feet of London. He asks perhaps the coachman, what stream that is; and the coachman answers with a stare of wonder and pity, "The Tems sir.' Pleasure boats are gliding back and forth, and stately swans float, like water-lilies, on its bosom. On its banks are villages, and church-towers, beneath which, among the patriarchs of the hamlet, lie many gifted sons of song,
• Insepulchres unhearsed and green.'

Louvre Abu Dhabi's upcoming exhibition explores journey of paper through time and space
Louvre Abu Dhabi has announced its latest international exhibition, "Stories of Paper", organised in partnership with Musée du Louvre and France Muséums, in collaboration with 16 French and international institutions and private collections.
To run from 20th April to 24th July, 2022, the exhibition explores the vast range of artistic expressions of paper, with the aim of cultivating the visitors' deeper knowledge of a familiar, yet ever more distant material. Approximately 100 artworks and objects, including books, manuscripts, drawings, a reproduction of a house and 13 contemporary artworks and installations made of paper, will be on display.
These come mainly from the collections of Musée du Louvre, as well as 15 other leading cultural institutions and private collections including Louvre Abu Dhabi, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Centre Georges Pompidou, Sharjah Art Foundation and Zayed National Museum.
"Stories of Paper" is curated by Xavier Salmon, General Curator and Director of the Department of Drawings and Prints, and Victor Hundsbuckler, Curator at the Department of Drawings and Prints at the Musée du Louvre, with the support of Dr. Souraya Noujaim, Director of Scientific, Curatorial and Collections Management at Louvre Abu Dhabi.
Manuel Rabaté, Director of Louvre Abu Dhabi, said, "It is entirely appropriate that paper should be the subject of Louvre Abu Dhabi's second exhibition of 2022 – exploring a single medium and the specific techniques that encompass it. The history of paper, an invention that transcended geography in its journey from East to West while transforming cultures and societies in the process, exemplifies the stories of cultural interaction and intellectual exchange that the museum is committed to examining."
The history of paper is spread across 12 sections, all of which highlight the key qualities and its varied use across centuries with immersive scenography. The themed sections include Plant-based origin, A Humble Material, Colour, Movement, Relationship with Light, An Untruthful Material, Memory, Fragility and Resilience, Space, Possibility of a Collection, A Medium for Reproducing Artworks, and A Malleable Medium.
Xavier Salmon said, "If there is one material that is a common good for the human race, it is most certainly paper. Paper was invented in China around 200 B.C., and rapidly made its way to Korea and Japan then eventually along the Silk Road. From there, the Islamic world absorbed this material, and stretched its use across the Middle East and along the coasts of the Mediterranean. Years later, in the 11th century, the first paper mills were documented in Al Andalus. Shortly after, in the 13th and 14th centuries, the advancement of mass paper production took place in Italy and France and the demand for paper grew expeditiously worldwide."
Victor Hundsbuckler said, "This exhibition reflects on paper being one of humanity's most important inventions, helping to document and preserve material for thousands of years."
Highlights of the exhibition include a selection of artworks from Louvre Abu Dhabi's collection including Pablo Picasso's Portrait of a Woman, 1928, two Japanese prints by artist Katsushika Hokusai, and a 13th-century Double page from De Materia Medica.
Highlights from international lenders include a panorama on seventeen panels of Carmontelle's Figures Walking in a Parkland, c. 1795 (Musée du Louvre), a 19th-century manuscript folded in the manner of a screen from Burma (Musée des arts asiatiques Guimet) and Munāğāt ʿAlī, a Quran written in fingernail calligraphy (Bibliothèque nationale de France).
Other highlights include artworks by prominent contemporary Emirati and Middle Eastern artists, such as Hassan Sharif's Dictionary, 2015 (Sharjah Art Foundation), Dana Awartani's He Is who Created The Heavens and Earth in Six Days, 2005 (Zayed National Museum) and Mohammed Kazem's Scratches on Paper, 2011 (Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde). Visitors will be also able to view, in Louvre Abu Dhabi's Lower Plaza, the Labirinto e Grande Pozzo by Italian artist Michelangelo Pistoletto – an interactive contemporary installation that explores movement as a key characteristic of paper.
Dr. Souraya Noujaim said, "Stories of Paper offers a series of poetic odes to matter, technique, space, form, and sound. Odes to a multifaceted material, a vehicle for the emergence of new worlds, and a witness to economic and social upheaval."
Details of the rich cultural and educational programming accompanying Stories of Paper will be announced at a later date.

If you have a sweet tooth, you may put a lot of focus on the wedding cake! The filling, the frosting, and the design, it all matters. The traditional white cake is a favourite for brides and grooms favouring the classic look, however for those who are looking for something a little different we have found a range of beautiful yet alternative and unique wedding cakes that you can have at your wedding!
Naked Cakes are so a beautiful, with its rustic finish. While it thrives on the unfinished look, more and more wedding cake designers are finding ways to make it look more beautiful. We love the above naked cake designs that features wild berries between each layer. This is a great way to mask the Chantilly cream. Alternatively, you could opt for summer fruits and topping it off with fresh flowers!
We are not talking about a chocolate cake filling but one that is actually covered in delicious chocolate frosting, fondant, or decorative goodness. You can choose your style on either spectrum of minimalist to spectacular! You can also vary between dark and white chocolate, whichever you fancy!
These are ideal if you are choosing to do up small replicas of the focal wedding cake that the bride and groom will cut. These can act as edible wedding bombonieres too!
Marbled cheesecakes and ice creams are extremely popular, so why not attempt this with your fondant! This may be ideal for a sophisticated couple!
These French pastries are extremely sophisticated and popular, with the option of having colourful displays. While many brides and grooms choose them for wedding bombonieres, the likes of a colourful pastel macaroon tower would make a cool alternative wedding cake!
If you love a good baked cheesecake, then this may be perfect, especially as you can top it up any way you like. We love the idea of using a berry coulis that is then topped with fresh fruit but even having beautiful fresh flowers decorating a tiered cheesecake wedding cake tower would be great!

Cellular Gatekeepers Do More than Open Doors for Drugs, UCSF Study Finds
by Michael Gibney |
Apr 5, 2013 11:04am
Discovery Could Change the Way We Design Medications and Shed Light On Side Effects
The cellular gatekeepers that escort the most common pharmaceuticals into our cells continue to work within the cells as well, according to a UC San Francisco discovery that could transform drug design and lead to new ways to treat disease.
Almost half of approved pharmaceuticals — for cancer, heart failure, inflammatory diseases, and others — act through gatekeepers on cell surfaces known as G-protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs). More than 1,000 specific GPCR proteins play roles in nerve signaling, immune responses, sensory perception and many other physiological phenomena governed by the trillions of cells within our bodies.
A team led by UCSF cell biologist Mark von Zastrow, MD, PhD, now has demonstrated that these receptor proteins can remain active longer than expected — even after being pulled into the cell after the attachment of a drug or natural activator. The researchers also demonstrated the value of a new way to study the receptors once they're inside the cell, one which may shed light on why therapeutics have unexpected effects or varying degrees of effectiveness, according to von Zastrow. The study appeared in the March 28 issue of Nature and is available online.
"From the standpoint of drug development, this may open a vast new range of targets, involving the cellular machinery that determines whether or not these key receptor molecules are present on the cell surface," said von Zastrow, a cell biologist who holds the Friends of LPPI Endowed Chair for Research in Schizophrenia and Depression at UCSF.
Using small, genetically engineered "nanobodies" — tiny antibodies similar to those naturally present in camels, but in few other animals — the researchers were able to trace short-lived chemical liaisons between molecules and to demonstrate that a GPCR known as the beta-adrenergic receptor remains active for minutes after it is internalized within the cell. The same receptor often has served as a model for studies of GPCRs, including studies by Brian K. Kobilka, MD, of Stanford University and Robert J. Lefkowitz, MD, of Duke University, who shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discoveries related to GPCRs.
Many drugs mimic the shapes of natural signaling molecules and block or activate specific GPCRs. When activated, the receptor acts upon another protein — its own specific partner within a class of enzymes known as G proteins. In a chain reaction, G proteins then initiate their own effects downstream in the cell's biochemical pathways.
The small size and flexibility of the engineered nanobodies allow them to attach to parts of proteins that other antibodies can't reach. Von Zastrow's team developed one fluorescent nanobody to bind selectively to the transitional, activated form of the beta adrenergic receptor, and another to bind to the activated form of its G protein. This enabled the researchers to trace the receptors' activity as they moved inside the cell from the cell surface, as seen in this laboratory movie.
Noting that different drugs can have different effects, even when targeting the same receptor, von Zastrow suggests that nanobodies might help drug developers gain insight into whether these differences are caused by attachments to different transient shapes formed by GPCRS. The engineered nanobodies could serve as tools to tag key activated forms of GPCRs as the receptors interact with other molecules. Nanobodies might even be adaptable for high-throughput drug screening, von Zastrow suggested.
UCSF postdoctoral fellow Roshanak Irannejad, PhD, who performed most of the key experiments and was first author on the paper, used isoproterenol — a drug for treating slow heart beat — to activate the beta-adrenergic receptor and trace activity over time and space, on and within the cells of a human kidney cell line.
Von Zastrow is an expert on endosomes, small membranous sacs pinched off from cell membranes and taken into cells. Each cell may contain 1,000 or more endosomes. Different endosomes contain different molecules. GPCRs were thought to be inactive within endosomes, where they awaited one of two fates — being sent to the cell's trash heap, or being recycled to the cell surface. Once activated, GPCRs are taken into the cell via endosomes.
"It was previously thought that once the receptor is taken away from the cell's surface that it no longer does anything until it is recycled back to the surface later," he said. "Our data clearly show that's not true — the internalized receptors actually are active and doing specific things within cells."
Von Zastrow speculates that endosomes might sometimes help redeploy GPCRs to different parts of the cell surface where they are needed, a function that might prove especially valuable to oddly shaped cells such as neurons, which have long, branching processes — axons and dendrites — and large surface areas. Drugs might one day be targeted to manipulate the internalization and movement of specific GPCRs via endosomes, von Zastrow said.
Other UCSF authors of the Nature report include assistant professors Bo Huang, PhD, and Hana El-Samad, PhD; and postdoctoral fellows Jin Tomshine PhD, Jonathan Tomshine PhD, and Michael Chevalier PhD. Collaborators from the University of Michigan, the University of Copenhagen and Vrije Universiteit Brussel, in Belgium, participated in the study. The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association.
UCSF is a leading university dedicated to promoting health worldwide through advanced biomedical research, graduate-level education in the life sciences and health professions, and excellence in patient care.

After a mere 60 seconds of footage, the new Steve Jobs trailer, featuring the remarkable Michael Fassbender as the celebrated Apple co-founder, has been released. Many called the man a visionary, a genius, an icon. But, according to the characterizations presented here, there's a darker side to him that we haven't seen before. Watch the riveting new footage now.
This is not the same old Ashton Kutcher song-and-dance routine. Though we've only seen what's been afforded through these trailers and the latest image releases, released by Universal, you can already get a sense that this is a step up. Directed by Danny Boyle with a screenplay from Aaron Sorkin, the film promises to explore the "trials and triumphs" of the man behind one of the biggest technology companies in the world. Some of these include frustration and anger exuding from Jobs's underlings and fellow co-founder, Steve Wozniak; his refusal to acknowledge his daughter as his own; and, of course, that time the board felt he was no longer needed. According to the official plot synopsis from Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures, the film is structured around the backstage events behind three product launches, the final one being the unveiling of the iMac in 1998. Better still, the trailer features the same stylized, flashy footage that instantly sold us with the teaser.
Joining Fassbender for this ride are Seth Rogen as Wozniak; Kate Winslet as Joanna Hoffman, one of the original members of the Macintosh team; Jeff Daniels as John Sculley, a tech investor who became the chief executive officer of Apple in 1983, a position he held until 1993; Katherine Waterston as Chrisann Brennan, Jobs's ex-girlfriend; and Michael Stuhlbarg as Andy Hertzfeld, another addition to the original Macintosh development team.
The trials and triumphs of the film itself has been widely reported. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo helmer David Fincher was originally being eyed for the director's chair, while The Dark Knight himself, Christian Bale, was looking to fill the role of Jobs. But the two were a package deal. Bale ultimately decided he wasn't right for the part, which meant that Fincher would eventually drop out if he wasn't going to have his pick for Jobs. In stepped Boyle, who was coming off of directing Trance and the Bablyon TV miniseries. According to Fassbender, who was furthering his impressive resume of indie roles on top of his duties to X-Men, Boyle approached him with the script. Fassbender was so blown away by the story and the director's vision that he immediately signed up.
And thankfully he did. With the release of this latest and full-length Steve Jobs trailer, we're already sold by Fassbender's performance. The film will hit theaters on October 9.
