We may lap up photos from the Coachella catwalk every year, but most Europeans wouldn't be able to point to the site of the influencers' festival-of-choice on a map. Two hours from LA, the city of Indio, in Greater Palm Springs, is flooded every April with those blinding California grins that make the headlines. But few question what happens the rest of the year in this scorched land. But they should, because as it turns out, desert culture means more than a Beyoncé set list.
"Desert culture means more than a Beyoncé set list at Coachella"
Hollywood stars have been fleeing to Palm Springs since the 1920s, when it was best known for its tanning and its tennis. Frank Sinatra, Elvis and Leonardo DiCaprio are among those who've escaped the paps to collapse by the pool here over the years. And in 2017, it's where Barack and Michelle Obama limped off to lick their wounds after Trump's inauguration.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, given its luxury reputation and dates of its building boom, the region is home to the highest concentration of brilliant Midcentury Modern architecture in world. The millionaire homes here are not merely buildings; these are otherworldly masterpieces. The most flamboyant of the favourites include: Frey House II by Albert Frey, Elrod House by John Lautner and the House of Tomorrow by Dan Palmer and William Krisel.
Most are hidden behind walled gardens and high security gates, but for keen architecture lovers - or anyone nosey enough to pay US$90 (£70) for a ticket - you can take the Palm Springs Mod Squad van tour. If not, just wait until February every year when Modernism Week opens up a selection of private homes during an 11-day architecture and design festival. For 2019, new events include a speech by architect Moshe Safdie and daily tours inside The Cree House - never seen before by the public.
To this day, contemporary buildings recognise that they must uphold a certain desert aesthetic. The restaurant Kaiser Grille was designed by E Stewart Williams in 1956 and, despite several renovations since, the palette is still made up of the original desert tans, deep grays and rich blues.
Hotels here are also a sight to behold; Insta-favourite The Saguaro attracts magpie eyes with acid yellows and fuchsia pinks. A total of 14 colours were selected to match the indigenous wildflowers of California's Colorado desert. Whilst the more lux Hotel Paseo has used its walls to promote local artists, including 21-year-old Nicholas Kontaxis.
An hour's drive outside the cities into barren land, past windowless casinos and rusty railway tracks, you'll find Slab City. Think Burning Man without the hype and offering little human contact, this dusty enclave reveals an eerie sculpture park made from junkyard scraps. Amongst laughing gas canisters, mannequins, and rubber ducks, archly amusing propaganda is rife: "The television will not be revolutionised," reads one message, while others tell of dolphin conspiracies.
Abandoned aeroplanes and old trucks abound, and there's not a soul in sight. The place is as far away from Palm Springs pomp as you can get. Slab City is home to 150 inhabitants whilst another 1,000 live nearby in Niland; this alternative community of artists cower from the sun in caravans, live a stripped back lifestyle and use the sand expanse as a place to let the imagination run wild.
Unlike the regimented architecture tours in Palm Springs, which keep art elevated far from grasp, Slab City and Salvation Mountain simply request a small donation (a request scribbled on sheets of metal) and Tallgrass Hiking & Tours can show you around. As an abandoned swing creaks, every corner reveals another squat-come-sculpture, and yet no-one emerges to soak up the attention. The invisible artists ask only "Respect the art" via handmade signs.
Recently however, this languid art scene around Greater Palm Springs received a jolt of electricity. In February 2017, Desert X, a surprise art 'exhibition,' popped up overnight across the region. The 16 installations were entirely free, from a mirrored house to an underground tunnel illusion. Having skipped a year to prepare for an even bigger splash, the next instalment will emerge in February 2019, which will now include film projects and stretch out as far as the Salton Sea.
The transatlantic jump clearly paid off; by the close of Desert X, 200,000 people had travelled to make their way around the 'art treasure hunt', and ears had pricked up around the world. And this time it had nothing to do with Beyoncé.
Stay at the The Saguaro in the city of Palm Springs where rooms start from $97 (£75) a night, or if you fancy something a little further out, check out Hotel Paseo in the city of Palm Desert, where rooms start from $175 (£135) per night.
Modernism Week 2019 will take over Palm Springs from 14-24 February, and the second edition of Desert X will open on 9th February, running until 21st April. Visit modernismweek.com, desertx.org or visitgreaterpalmsprings.com for more info.

Proxy advisory and corporate governance rating firms play an increasingly important role in U.S. public markets. Proxy advisory firms provide voting recommendations to shareholders on proxy proposals and sometimes take an active role persuading management to change governance arrangements. Corporate governance rating firms provide indices to evaluate the effectiveness of a firm's governance and claim to be able to predict future performance, risk, and undesirable outcomes such as accounting restatements and shareholder litigation. We examine these claims for the commercial corporate governance ratings produced for 2005 by Audit Integrity, RiskMetrics (previously Institutional Shareholder Services), GovernanceMetrics International, and The Corporate Library. Our results indicate that the level of predictive validity for these ratings are well below the threshold necessary to support the bold claims made for them by these commercial firms. Moreover, we find no relation between the governance ratings provided by RiskMetrics with either their voting recommendations or the actual votes by shareholders on proxy proposals.


Went down to LA for K&N's wedding on Sunday. J stayed with Ei-Nyung's mom & little brother for the 24 hours we were gone, and they took great care of him.
It was great to see the two of those suckers get married. Took 'em long enough, but obviously, we couldn't be happier for them. It was a great, really laid back and personal ceremony. It was a great time, and I just wanted to mark it so that if I go back & read this blog 10 years later, I'll remember.
So, I was talking with my carpool on the ride home about the benefits of owning vs. renting – or rather, the lack thereof, and that in many ways, if I could go back to me-in-2001, even knowing that this house has been a relative bargain, I think I'd talk myself out of purchasing anything, and instead have just remained a renter.
But that said, there are periodically some upsides. Mobius, for one – we wouldn't have (in good conscience, anyway) have been able to get a dog without having a sizable yard. We could have rented a home just as well, I suppose, but knowing we had this space made having Mobius a lot easier.
Second, I took a bath in the ofuro – it'd be a rare rental that has a deep Japanese-style bath. Yeah, it's a small thing, but one of those moments where I realize that this isn't just any house, it's *our* house.
Most of the wacky things you can do to customize a house are just incredibly expensive, which makes the prospect of owning a home less interesting, because even though you *can* do all manner of stuff, we have neither the time nor the money to do the things we'd love to do – we just keep fixing things that are busted.
But then again, there are parts of the house that we had a personal hand in designing or building, and in the end, yeah – it's a nice feeling. Worth the cost of ownership? Who can say, really?

Q: Match equivalent to FindNext I have a data sheet that I need to search for lines that meet two criteria (an ID number and date).
I have written a macro using Find and FindNext that will search the data for the ID number and every time it finds a match, it with then compare the date and return the line details if both cells match.
However, it is very slow to run and I've read that the Match function is much quicker. As far as I can see Match will only return the first matching value, is there any way to use Match to find subsequent matches?

A: There is a blog post here with VBA code comparing the speed of Find, MATCH and using a variant array

Contiguity Capture interface was disconnected a couple of times, but otherwise contiguous.
Snapping Method Packets truncated after the end of the transport header.
This trace set is available for public download. See the above download links.
This is a 600 day long packet header trace captured at the border of the University of Waikato network. The traces were captured using a single DAG3 card and the WDCap trace capture software. The version of WDCap used was version 1.0.0 and the Libtrace version was 1.0.6.
The capture point was located between the University's network infrastructure and the commodity Internet. This allowed access to all the traffic that was coming into and exiting the University. However, no internal traffic would have been observed and captured by our capture point. At one point during the capture of this traceset, the hub that the capture point was connected to was upgraded from 10 Mbit to 100 Mbit. This resulted in a small period where no packets were captured and was also possibly the cause of one of the connection resets that occurred during the capture of this traceset.
The capture machine performed all the anonymization and truncation before exporting the packets via the network to a second machine. That machine was tasked with writing the packets to disk and rotating the trace files as required.
Each trace file is named using the following format: yyyymmdd-HHMMSS-[code].gz. The time and date refers to the time in UTC when the first packet in the file was captured. The code refers to the event which caused the previous file to be closed and this new file to be created. Note that the codes used for this traceset are very different to those used in subsequent Waikato tracesets.
There were a few occasions where the connection between the collector and the disk exporter was lost. Due to the reliable nature of our collection process, no packets should have been lost as a result of such failures. However, it may be possible that a few duplicate packets may appear in the traces both immediately before and after the connection was lost.
Additionally, the capture interface was accidentally disconnected on at least two occasions which resulted in gaps in the capture. The capture itself continued without any problem - just no packets were captured during the time period where the interface was disconnected.
The packets have been truncated at the end of the transport header. No user payload is included in any of the packets. However, ICMP packets are truncated after 8 bytes of ICMP header - the IP header for the original datagram is not included.
The IP addresses contained within the packets have been anonymised using Crypto-Pan AES encryption, which is a prefix-preserving anonymisation method. This means that unanonymised IP addresses that were on the same subnet will also be identifiable as on the same subnet when the addresses are anonymized. We change the encryption key once a week on Sunday midnight (local time). This key change causes a file rotation, with a rotation code of 128.
The IP checksums have been validated and anonymized. If the checksum was correct, it has been replaced with 0. If the checksum was incorrect, it has been replaced with 1. TCP checksums have not been anonymized, however.

Born and raised in Bklyn, I'm a true native lover of my wonderful diverse city. For me NYC is the true realization of the essential idea of America: a place built and inhabited with the sons and daughters of immigrants refecting a cultural and ethnic diversity that speaks to that idea. I consider myself a Robert Kennedy (my hero growing up) progressive democratic liberal. I worked for NYC public schools as a therapeutic social worker for 35 years. Because I always worked for particular schools and with all students I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to develop a group model based on my version of what is now commonly referred to as Social and Emotional intelligence.This began at Curtis HS in Staten Island where in what was then known as the Skills Center I was able to develope a group model which later was used in the creation of Cascades, a alternative HS in the lower east side of Manhattan where I was one of 3 co-directors. I was incredibly fortunate to have had a wonderful career with the Dept of Ed and my life was immeasurably enriched by the contact with literally thousands of NYC kids and the many friends I made over the years with collegues. Since my retirement I have continued my therapeutic work, including group work, with both adults and children in my private practice.
I live in Park Slope, Bklyn with my wife and my 2 wonderful adult daughters near by...and of course my granddaughter (2 more on the way ....lucky me.


Matthew 13:16 NASB: "But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.
Blessed are your eyes ... - That is, you are happy that you are permitted to see truth which they will not see.
You are permitted to understand the spiritual meaning of the parables, and in some degree the plan of salvation.
Jesus visits Nazareth and is Rejected.
And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.


Surprising Bonus – Investing may bring me to heaven!
In few day's I'll be celebrating my first year anniversary investing in the Philippine stock market. From just an unsolicited invitation, I never thought that I would seriously put some time into it.
But more than that, I have toy reasons why I continue playing with it.
In fact, I think it may even help me go to heaven. Haha (Lord, forgive my sins).
1. I started to love Mondays!
Research says that more people die on Mondays than any other day of the week. And you know the reason, right? People just dread going to work.
In my case, investing in stock market makes me long for Mondays simply because that only means a signal of a long week-time for my investments to work for me. I am just excited to have a big playing field where I can also earn. As I said in my previous blog (Your First Touch), I see myself doing this in the long run. My heart beats fast just thinking of it..phew!
2. I become a better person.
Before, you would probably hear me complaining while waiting in line in fast-food chain. You see I value my time dearly. But now, I would love to see people crowding in all Jollibee stores nationwide. I know that those people enjoying their value meals would translate to potential increase of earnings in my JFC (Jolibee Foods Corp) in my stock portfolio.
Similarly, I pay our electricity bill in our home. That became one of my financial assignments when I started working. Good thing is that our electricity provider Meralco is listed in the stock market, so I would just need to buy some shares of it, and receive a portion of their earnings they get from payers like me.
The same goes for my load consumption for Globe, water bill from MWC and shopping spree expenses in SM malls.
Things like those lessen the saddle when making those necessary payments (and doodads?!), knowing that somehow someway, I can dribble back those bouncing balls.
3. I appreciate my world better.
I have my office at McKinley. And the weird thing about it is that while there are two McDonald's stores within the area, you wouldn't find any one Jollibee branch. And so I still have to take a ride or join with others for a group delivery whenever I'm craving for that Jabee yum burger.
I found out why – the developer of the area is Megaworld, which is under the bigger umbrella of Alliance Global Inc (AGI) holding company, which also operates McDonald. A friend says the same case is true in the Eastwood area.
You see, we're practically living in a business-run reality, so we might as well be aware of the business air we breathe.
4. I grow closer to God.
Seeing paper losses most of the times at times, part of my prayer is that my stocks go back up soon. Haha!
5. Lastly,the biggest reward, you get to see the best women in town.
Here's one thing revealed to me when I was in a stock market class I was attending, while observing ladies who had just started exploring investing: women stock market players seem to have better wife-potential. Really!
There are many practical obvious reasons why.
They are more disciplined, more serious and more risk-taker. They just have less emotion in their life. As you know, emotions do give color to a relationship, but too much if it can bring unnecessary complications more than mutual satisfaction. HAHA!
Stock market teaches all its children the value of patience, how to handle greed and fear, how to accept mistakes and loses, and how to embrace reality and start moving on, among many.
If you think of it, those are the same essential traits any committed person should have at the least for the relationship to work, not to mention their acquired skills in doing the budget and managing the finances for the future family, and their important ability to see things in the long term. What more can you ask for?! Haha!
There you have it. Everything mentioned above applies to my experience. You may try investing and find more personal reasons for yourself. We don't know it could be your piece of cake.. My prayer is that this investing endeavor can really bring more people to heaven! Whaha!
naririnig ko lang ngayon! Lolz!

Peru is estimated to have had a maternal mortality fee of 261 per one hundred,000 live births in 1993, representing a drop of 19 per cent compared with 1981, when there were 321 deaths per a hundred,000 reside births. Women with out formal training had the highest hot peruvian girls charges of maternal mortality: 489 per a hundred,000 dwell births, ten occasions the rate for girls with larger schooling (forty nine) and better than the nationwide common of ten years ago.

Chrysler Building in New York
The Chrysler Building in New York is an iconic silver-topped skyscraper in Manhattan. The 77-storey building is 319 meters high. It was built between 1928 and 1930 as the headquarters of Walter Chrysler's auto group. Therefore, the building owes its name to him. The Chrysler Building in New York (sometimes misspelled as Crysler New York) was once the tallest building in the world. However, it was soon thrown off the throne in this ranking when the Empire State Building opened its doors in 1931.
Chrysler Building at Grand Central
The Chrysler Building is located near Grand Central Terminal, on the east side of Manhattan. This makes it a defining part of the skyline. It's used as an office building by various companies. It's built in a graceful Art Deco style, with a recognizable spire consisting of silver-colored arches. On the tower, there are ornaments that are said to be inspired by cars, a reference to the first property owner Walter Chrysler. The building has been used several times for films and animations. For example, it is set in Spider-Man and Men in Black 3.
Cloud Club
In the 1930s, an iconic club was located in the Chrysler Building: the Cloud Club. This speakeasy was located on the 66th, 67th and 68th floors of the skyscraper. It attracted many influential business people, including publisher Condé Nast and Walter Chrysler himself, among its regular clientele. The Cloud Club closed in 1979.
Eric's Tip: The Chrysler Building is one of the most famous buildings in New York. The iconic top is especially famous, at street level far fewer people actually recognize it. From 42nd Street at Grand Central, you have a beautiful view of the building. Although, the view from the nearby One Vanderbilt The Summit is even better. From here, you have a beautiful side view of the Chrysler Building which is relatively close.
Chrysler Building Observation Deck
Many people wonder if they can go up the Chrysler Building. The tower is not open to the public yet. You can only take a quick look inside the impressive lobby if you're lucky. However, there are plans for a Chrysler Building Observation Deck. This viewpoint will be on the 61st floor of the building. It will provide great views of Manhattan. Finally, there will be an opportunity to visit the Chrysler Building!

Grandfather's Tears
This area is defunct!
This territory or sub-territory has been partially or completely destroyed; it is no longer a playable area.
2.1 Lore
2.2 'Souls
Size ?? square kilometres
?? square miles
Grandfather's Tears was a former sub-territory in 'Souls; however, the 2016 meteor strike destroyed the land. What was left of the springs is now a part of the Broken Occident.
Hidden in the trees of one of the most dense forests in the Serena Reserve area is a collection of four springs: Grandfather's Tears. They are sporadically placed and do not form any shape, and are all connected by small, bubbling streams. All of the tiny springs feed into the larger Mersey River running through the reserve. In the winter, the ice on a few of these springs is a mysterious deep indigo and prey animals that wander near them seem to be found dead in the surrounding area not long afterward.
2. History
2.1 Lore
These springs were said to have been put here by the elder of the wolf pack's tears to give the wolves one last chance at survival, and they were said to be cursed when the winter claimed the whole pack.
2.2 'Souls
AniWaya claimed this subterritory from its founding in 2008 to November 2013, when they moved further north. Grandfather's Tears held significance within the tribe, in which a legend of the springs' mystery generally kept the tribesmembers wary of it. In late summer 2013, a mystery puzzled the AniWayan community, wherein the springs held a central role. It was believed by many that the rumored curse struck the tribe, and in the end this played a crucial part in their decision to move. In the aftermath, many considered the curse a proven fact and tribesmembers tend to avoid the area, and warn outsiders to do the same.

Support is building amongst both fans and cast members of the "Justice League" animated series for Warner Bros. to approve a "reunion" movie.
Airing on Cartoon Network from 2001-2006 as first "Justice League" and then "Justice League Unlimited", the animated series is considered by many fans to be a triumph in so many ways. Not only was the cast amazing, but the animation and stories captured the imagination of a generation of fans who hold out hope for more adventures of their favorite animated DC Superheroes.
"There are so many fans that grew up on Justice League on Cartoon Network that seem to want to reboot some sort of movie or limited series," says Superman actor George Newbern.
Fans have taken to Twitter with the hashtag #JLReunion, petitioning Warner Bros. Home Entertainment to green light some kind of reunion film bringing the cast and characters back together.
Even celebrated animation director Andrea Romano has told the cast she will come out of retirement should a movie materialize.
As fans, we can only hope that Warner Bros. Animation will give the idea serious thought.
I'm for it but only if there's less Bat-bias and better treatment of Superman.
I concur. Many episodes had superman being taken out within the first 5 minutes while at the same time having an almost invincible Batman.
I concur. Its been said often of Bruce Timm being a big Batman fan but a great hater of Superman. STAS had the worst ending of all time as well as having a strange relationship between Batman and Wonder Woman. Maybe because he and Batman have the same name?
Paul Dini is a decent writer and you can probably tell that his writing is loads more considerate of Superman and Batman. If he takes charge, I'd love to see a reunion movie.
Timm has made it clear he likes Superman, he just has a preference for Batman. Besides, despite the early problems with Superman in the first season of JL, not only did the guy run a Superman animated show for years (arguably one of the better adaptations of the source material), but the issues with Superman's involvement in JL were more-or-less ironed out by Season 2.
I will admit, the original finale of the show, before JLU was renewed for a final season, irked me quite a bit.
Dwayne McDuffie and Paul Dini were the primary writers that gave Superman respect, and they didn't make all the others useless like Bruce Timm did with Batman.
Dwayne is gone (RIP) but there is still Paul Dini to treat Superman well.
Mark Millar made a name for himself writing the S:TAS comics, so if he would get involved with this I'd be immensely happy.
Amen to that, Superman's power level in Bruce Timm's animations are/were shamefully LOW in the face of the opposition which made the character come off rather weak struggling with mundane things and people especially when compared to Batman!
Sorry Bruce, not a fan of Superman utilizing a spacesuit and a auqualung nor getting kicked around like he did – either use the character or don't use him at all.
Superman is supposed to have superior intellect and intelligence I hope if this project does go through that element of his characters be on display and utilized.
If they do have a reunion animated movie, I wonder if the character designs will be the same as it was during the duration of the animated series.
I say have Superman be the main hero of this movie. Yes have the other superheros be in the film as well, but superman should be the star. And he shouldn't be made to be weaker so that another hero can save him.
I would also hope that they would use the JLU designs that they had in the series. the visual identity is part of the show so not having that would make the whole project halfway pointless.
I will say I wouldn't mind them giving Superman his pompadour back from STAS but whatever they do please do not put those stupid cheekbone lines back on his face from the first season of JL or worse the ones from the animated Death Of Superman.
I happen to have the JL box series right in front of me. Would really like to see a reunion.

The Brazilian state of Roraima is currently dependent for 70 percent of its power on Venezuela's Guri hydroelectric dam. But socioeconomic chaos in Venezuela, and deteriorating political relations between the two nations, have caused Brazil to fast-track a 750-kilometer transmission line to replace the imported energy.
General Otávio Rêgo de Barros, using a national security justification, has announced that construction will begin at the end of June on a powerline running between the cities of Manaus and Boa Vista, connecting Roraima with Brazil's national electrical power grid.
125 kilometers of the planned transmission line will run through the Waimiri Atroari reserve, and the indigenous group has long resisted its construction. The Waimiri Atroari are concerned about detrimental impacts on the environment and on wildlife, as hunting is a primary way for their communities to obtain food.
Roraima state has done viability studies showing that wind and solar power offer cheaper alternatives to the transmission line. But the Bolsonaro administration has ignored those alternatives. "The Indians will be consulted, but national interest must prevail," said the general.
Brazil's Bolsonaro government has invoked reasons of national security to push forward on the construction of a long-resisted 125 kilometer (78 mile) electrical transmission line through the heart of the Waimiri Atroari Indigenous Reserve in the states of Amazonas and Roraima.

For years the Waimiri Atroari people have fought government attempts to build the powerline through their territory, demanding compensation and safeguards to protect their way of life and the wildlife they depend on for food. Right-of-way negotiations with federal authorities, including FUNAI, the indigenous affairs agency, IBAMA, the environmental protection agency, and MPF, the federal prosecutors office, have long been ongoing.
But at the end of February, presidential spokesman General Otávio Rêgo de Barros announced that construction of a 750 kilometer (466 mile) powerline to bring energy from Manaus, the capital of Amazonas state, to Boa Vista, the capital of Roraima, Brazil's northernmost state, will begin on 30 June; 125 kilometers (almost 80 miles) of the line will pass through the indigenous reserve.
The general justified the rush to build by saying that questions of national security override the interests of the Waimiri Atroari and the environment. "The Indians will be consulted, but national interest must prevail," he said.

The decision was made at a specially convened meeting of the National Defense Council in Brasilia on 27 February. The reasoning behind the project's fast-tracking: Roraima state currently depends on neighboring Venezuela for 70 percent of its electrical energy needs, power produced by the Guri hydroelectric dam. The new transmission line will end that dependency by connecting the state to Brazil's national power grid, avoiding potential outages due to current chaotic socioeconomic conditions in Venezuela.
Relations between the two nations became strained in recent months, as Venezuela closed its border with Brazil, and the rightist Bolsonaro government called for the overthrow of Socialist President Nicolás Maduro, while also receiving self-proclaimed Venezuelan president Juan Guaidó in the presidential palace.
Construction of the Manaus to Boa Vista transmission line, which will run alongside the existing BR-174 highway, is expected to take 3 years. The government argues that by running the powerline beside an existing road, it will have little impact on the indigenous territory. But the hundreds of giant pylons needed to carry the heavy electrical cables will require a wide deforested corridor under and around them. Access roads for maintenance will also be needed.

Construction is slated to start in June, though could be delayed by a court challenge. Image by SallesNeto BR licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license.
The indigenous community, which relies on the local forest for food, says that deforestation and the disruption of wildlife during and after construction is inevitable. The reserve's inhabitants also argue that they will suffer the project's impacts, but not its benefits. When finished, they note, the transmission line will carry electricity overhead, but not provide energy to their indigenous reserve and its villages.
Joênia Wapichana, Brazil's first female indigenous congresswoman, elected in 2018 for the state of Roraima, said: "There is a court decision that the Indians should be consulted and not put under pressure.… This right to consultation is guaranteed under the [International Labour Organization) ILO's 169 Convention, which is legally binding in Brazil." She said that consultations between the Waimiri Atroari and various government agencies over the proposed powerline have been going on a long time.
MPF federal prosecutors have also expressed concern at the government's decision to fast-track the project without further consultation. They note that the powerline's location was chosen without considering alternative routes farther away from existing villages.
The controversial Balbina dam and its gigantic reservoir, built in the 1980s, encroached significantly on Waimiri Atroari ancestral lands, as did the Pitinga open pit tin mine, whose pollution seriously impacted fishing within the indigenous reserve. The Waimiri Atroari are demanding the right of consultation and compensation for all future projects on their remaining land. Image by Seabirds licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license.
The MPF has worked with the Waimiri Atroari for many years, first filing suit to claim compensation for the wrongful deaths of an estimated 2,000 Indians who perished as a result of an earlier government project, the building of the BR-174 highway linking Manaus to Boa Vista in the 1970s and 1980s. At the time, the ruling military dictatorship was eager to open up the Amazon region via the construction of a new road network, including the controversial Transamazon Highway. The many indigenous tribes blocking the highway's path were seen as a problem typically solved by largescale removal of the people to other lands, against their will. But in the case of the Waimiri Atroari, the solution was extreme violence.
A village of the Waimiri-Atroari presenting six testimonies of their traumatic experiences during the construction of highway BR-174.
These attacks, and the communicable diseases that came after forcible contact with outsiders, led to a drastic reduction in indigenous numbers – by 1986 only 374 Waimiri Atroari were left out of an estimated original population of 3,000.
The MPF has not only demanded compensation for the Waimiri Atroari, but also that the government give a guarantee that military intervention in their territory will not happen again, and that any new project touching their land only be built with their consent. Critics say that the Bolsonaro government is using Venezuelan instability as an excuse to proclaim a national security justification, and rush the powerline to completion.
Analysts also note that Bolsonaro's transmission line decision ignores the possibility of utilizing alternative energy sources. The Roraima government had begun to move forward with a renewable energy plan, based on studies carried out by the federal Mines and Energy Ministry. That research found that the state has an abundance of wind and solar potential due to its proximity to the Equator. It also has rivers that could provide hydroelectric power. Meetings between solar and wind industry representatives and the state governor have already been held.
Many of the Waimiri Atroari view the Bolsonaro administration's decision to ignore these efficient alternative energy options, and opt instead for the far more costly transmission line, as a declaration of war against them. The dispute will almost certainly end up going to court, and possibly all the way to Brazil's Supreme Court.

"One of the strangest things is the act of creation.
You are faced with a blank slate-- -a page, a canvas, a block of stone or wood, a silent musical instrument.
You then look inside yourself. You pull and tug and squeeze and fish around for slippery raw shapeless things that swim like fish made of cloud vapor and fill you with living clamor. You latch onto something. And you bring it forth out of your head like Zeus giving birth to Athena.
And as it comes out, it takes shape and tangible form. It drips on the canvas, and slides through your pen, it springs forth and resonates into the musical strings, and slips along the edge of the sculptor's tool onto the surface of the wood or marble.
You have given it cohesion. You have brought forth something ordered and beautiful out of nothing.
You have glimpsed the divine." - Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration
Lovetts Gallery has several new artists to introduce to you with their divine works. So, let's get started!
Four artists. Four mediums: Glass, oils, metals and acrylics.
DEBRA ADELSON: GLASS
Working with materials and bringing them into a symbiotic existence with a soulful approach, artist Debra Adelson aims to create work with an obvious human touch. Creation involves exploration and it is the translucency and the subtle fluidity of glass that this artist seeks to scrutinize in her work. She begins with solid pieces of raw optical and dichroic glass which she laminates and cold works into her desired shape. For refraction, light reveal, and optical depth, she then engraves the surface of the glass with diamond and stone wheels to achieve textures. The bottom layer of dichroic glass fills the pieces with glowing, opalescent color that changes depending on the angle the piece is viewed. Debra constructs the sterling elements and then carves back into the glass so the metal and gemstones become an integral part of her designs. Adelson's exploration is certainly inspired by the forces of nature.
Whether her free standing sculptured works or piece of jewelry such as a ring or pendant, Debra succeeds beautifully at cohesion. Her expertise with these materials is stunning. They appear as if lit with the effects of mechanical lighting but they are not, which goes to prove the wonder in nature that can be revealed by the skillfulness of an artist. Debra Adelson, is that artist.
Debra is married to artist Pavel Novak, who also does captivating glass work and is represented here at Lovetts Gallery.
WELCOME TO THE IMAGINATION DEBRA ADELSON
MICHELE AMATRULA: OILS
Artist Michele Amatrula, takes what's in her head and heart and lets it slip onto her canvas in oils that reveal her works in high detail. As a realist painter, Michele illustrates her attention to details in her drawings and paintings. Her work appears as book covers, magazine illustrations, collectibles and postage stamps.
Still life's, portraiture's and pets have comprised her choices of subject matter. Michele is also known for her love of animals, especially the place she has in her heart for dogs. This truth is obvious by the way she cares and shows that care by reflecting the personalities they embody.
Her nostalgic bottle caps in "Old Red Eye" brings forth rich memories exemplifying her execution of sharp detail work. The mood of Michele's oil on canvas, "Cheeseplate", seems to say calm and refined, nourishment that feeds the soul as much as the body. Amatrula has made valuable use of light and shadow to whet the appetite in this piece. Man shouldn't live by bread alone………but accompany it with cheese, fruit and a glass of red wine. Harmony is a wonderful thing! Cheers!
WELCOME TO THE IMAGINATION MICHELE AMATRULA
ROBERTSON BROWN: METALS
Form follows function. Just ask sculpture artist Robertson Brown. "I love working with discarded pieces of metal which no longer function as they were intended, but now become new creations and function as art. Form really does follow function."
An example of form and function is seen in the trajectory of Browns life path. Originally from Eastern Pennsylvania, he moved to Tulsa to attend college. After graduation with a BFA from TU, he went to teach English in Japan. Upon return, with long hair on his head and his art degree in his hand, he started his own business. He states, "In 1985, oil crashed in Tulsa and so did my business. It may have been one of the best things to happen to me and my art." Robertson went back to TU and became certified to teach art. At the same time, he also began creating sculptures. He taught visual art and art history for many years, during when much of the "Lost and Found" series of his art was created. . And he continues to create! Hmmm……. looks like form following function!
With minimal fabrication, he depends on the pieces to help him determine their final placement in his artwork. Found Object Constructions by Brown consists of mixed metals and glass along with a myriad of re-purposed objects. Besides his overall design, it is quite interesting to see and try to identify the "objects" that he has utilized for a piece. There are stories on his works on his artist page on Lovetts site. Robertson has latched on to something that breathes new life. And that includes cohesion.
WELCOME TO THE IMAGINATION ROBERTSON BROWN
TYSON GRUMM: ACRYLICS
You might deem it appropriate to don your detective hat with this next artist as you take an investigative tour through the surrealist world of Tyson Grumm. His freeze-framed images capture a world where the only clues to the past and the future can be derived from the figures located within fantastical surroundings.
Consequently, each painting reveals a story that is only partially told, enabling each viewer to contribute their own unique story to complete each of Grumm's works. Tyson not only accomplishes cohesion in his art but invites the viewer to be a part of that cohesiveness.
Grumm does his creating with acrylics and inventiveness, inviting us into an extraordinary and often nostalgic world of imaginative imagery. To provide a degree of familiarity, the artist relies on common objects from his surroundings, motifs appearing at the beginning, that evolve themselves into the composition. His figures, whether human or animal appear to be both characters and caricatures, distinctive and unusual, and often with historical significance.
Created entirely in the adventurous mind of this artist, Grumm juxtaposes incongruous elements, such as humans, wild animals, and whimsical back drops within each frame, resulting in a surreal topsy-turvy world. With all that you will uncover in viewing this artist work, you will soon discover his clever sense of humor. There's no doubt when you research the works of Tyson Grumm that you will find the evidence is engaging and creative.
WELCOME TO THE IMAGINATION TYSON GRUMM
I am closing this by referencing where I started. Vera's quotation illustrates and encapsulates the powerful process and act of creating with the ending results of cohesion. "One of the strangest things is the act of creation." It's no wonder that we yearn in connecting with art as we seemingly know on some level that people are as much a piece of work as the work that's created.
Lovetts Gallery invites you to glimpse the divine of all the fine artists and their works that we represent. We welcome you to not only glimpse…….but stare, admire, drool, fuss over, love, collect and own!

Francisco Porcel Rodríguez (Lugros, 28 de enero de 1974) es un torero retirado de la provincia de Granada, que tomó la alternativa el 5 de junio de 1996 de manos de Rafael Camino y Manolo Sánchez.

Biografía
El torero Francisco Porcel nace en la localidad granadina de Lugros, en el seno de una familia taurina puesto que su padre fue mayoral de una ganadería de reses de lidia.

Carrera profesional
Se viste de luces por primera vez en Jérez del Marquesado en el año 1990. Su presentación con picadores tendría que esperar tres años más, el día 2 de octubre, en la localidad de El Vellón. Esa tarde se lidiaban 4 novillos de la divisa de don Marcos Sáenz de Miera Bartolomé, pero solo pudo matar el primero de su lote al resultar herido, no obstante le cortó las dos orejas. Tras participar en algunos festivales y alguna que otra novillada más, el año de 1994 sería el año de su consagración como novillero, toreando en un elevadísimo número de festejos, ocupando la décima posición en el escalafón, con un total de 30 novilladas. Ese mismo año realiza su presentación en la Monumental de Frascuelo, donde corta una oreja a un toro de Las Ramblas y en otras importantes plazas españolas como en la Plaza de Toros de Valencia.

Si importante es el año referido de 1994 en la carrera como novillero de Francisco Porcel, el siguiente año de 1995 lidia un total de 36 corridas de novillos, presentándose en el coso de Las Ventas el 15 de julio, en festejo nocturno, alternando con Juan de Pura y Francisco Barroso, que también debutan esa tarde-noche. Vestía de verde manzana y oro con algunos remates negros y dio muerte a un novillo de nombre Surcador, del hierro de los Hermanos Vergara. Esa noche, fue ovacionado por el respetable en sus dos novillos.

El año de su alternativa, 1996 torea en unas pocas ocasiones, no obteniendo triunfos destacables aparte de esta. Las dos siguientes temporadas no se viste de luces, para retomarlo en la temporada de 1999, actuando en tres ocasiones, dos de ellas en la Plaza de Toros de Granada, saliendo a hombros ambas tardes y una tercera en la Monumental de Barcelona donde fue ovacionado llegando a dar una vuelta al ruedo. Después de esta temporada, Francisco se retira de los ruedos.

Art, Community & Bittersweet Reality
The 'refreshing hit of reality', promised by artist duo A-peg on the menu of their latest performance and participatory event, Lunch, with feeling, turned out to be more than a simple bittersweet lemon sorbet intermezzo. Coinciding with an angry, alcohol-fuelled confrontation just yards away, between several of the semi-permanent Bearpit residents – homeless by another name – the 'hit of reality' came very close to its literal meaning. For a few minutes the threat of violence hung in the air as members of the group stormed off shouting expletives and waving fists, only to return as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, many of the guests at A-peg's table found it impossible to avert their eyes. The cheerful cordiality with which we had been greeted had been jarred out of focus by this snapshot of daily life in Bearpit; the starter of cornichons and pickled pepper was not the only thing that left a sour taste in the mouths of diners.
"For a few minutes the threat of violence hung in the air…"
A-peg's unique brand of off-beat humour was evident in the menu for Lunch, with feeling, which offered an intriguing range of courses, such as 'Curiosity wrapped roast…' with a side of 'Crushed melancholy', or a 'Seasonal mix of sociability, friendliness and hope'. On arrival I was separated from my dining partner and sat between a familiar face from the Bristol art scene and a homeless man in his mid-fifties. To my left I discussed the humour in the titling of menu items, and the irony in the aforementioned doubling up of the 'refreshing hit of reality', while from my right I was offered pockets of wisdom about the burgeoning crowd across the way that had been so vociferous in making its presence felt. Devouring his 'Baked gratitude served in a rich and creamy relief sauce', my fellow diner pointed out that the group was new to Bearpit, and all were under thirty, and had been vying for social status in the only way they knew how for a number of weeks now.
One of the core aims of the Bearpit Improvement Group (founded in 2010) is the intention to act as a showcase for local artists and groups, hence Art in Bearpit. In six months Bearpit has played host to a range of arts events including sculptural performance, a semi-permanent (and bookable) covered stage, subtle intervention, performance that engaged with residents on a personal level, a candyfloss and balloon party, and a mock-broadsheet newspaper. All of which elicited the gamut of reactions from passers-by, from curious inquisitors to crackpot conspiracy theorists, and of course the openly sceptical, whose wide-berths have been a fixture throughout the programme.
Art in Bearpit was bookended by Vickie Fear's The Keepers, a group performance more sculptural than performative in its manifestation. On both occasions performers were draped, almost bagged up, in fabrics ranging from garishly printed vinyl to a dayglow mesh not unlike the high-visibility materials used in the fenced-off areas of Bearpit that are still in development. For two hours the performers remain in position, and as one little boy prods curiously, a pair of onlookers are discussing whether the event is a political protest. The opening performance at the beginning of May was met with smiles and people taking selfies as they strolled into town for a Saturday afternoon of shopping and socialising. The t-shirted locals were doing their bit to will springtime's promise (whose edge could not be scuffed by a persistently grey sky) into early summer, and the resident alcoholics were in high spirits as the Art in Bearpit programme got underway.
"Their performance is exemplary: unflinching in the shadows of Debenhams and Beefeater…"
Six months on, November 1st, and with summer now a memory the mood of the locals is as brooding as the clouds that hang low in the sky, portentous of oncoming frosts and cold-snaps: for the homeless, be they street-dwelling or squatting, winter is never easy. The atmosphere has developed a menacing edge; these are the same new locals that my dining partner told me about at Lunch, with feeling; a younger group, still angry enough at their lot in life to be readily lashing out at anyone that upsets their right to do whatever they please. The actors that perform The Keepers are a credit to their craft and their creator, Vickie Fear. Their performance is exemplary: unflinching in the shadows of Debenhams and Beefeater; unflinching in the face of angry voices from unseen corners; unflinching in the conditions as autumn gives way to the first chills of winter.
Art in Bearpit may be over but for the next twelve months its final commission, Megan Clark-Bagnall's Trading Post, will be accessible via Bearpit Social. After hosting An Everyday Party in June, Clark-Bagnall has again evoked the history of the location – a former trading ground for merchants both national and international – and has provided a geocached safe deposit box through which participants can find and leave their 'treasure'. Two weeks into its life the log-book shows heavy use on days one and two, then a week unopened. It seems likely that this kind of work would be embraced by both the art and non-art community of Bearpit, if only they knew about it, so it falls on participants and producers alike to publicise its presence at Bearpit Social, the coffee and sandwich shop run by Miriam Delogu, whose recent blog post on Bristol 24/7 alluded to the source of the changing mood in Bearpit.
"The familiar faces seem to have moved on now…"
Evidently the police recently cleared out a large nearby squat occupied by over 100 people, a significant quantity of whom have taken to using Bearpit as their daily hangout. These are not the giddily drunk, age-mellowed, largely harmless homeless folk that occupied the Bearpit when The Keepers was in its first incarnation in May; these are more likely to be drug-reliant and psychologically damaged individuals who have no compunction in taking out their frustrations on members of the public. Reading Miriam's personal blog is testament to that, and gives fair cause for concern regarding the future of Bearpit and its traders. We must hope that the positive connections made between artists, traders, and the homeless residents of the underpass in the early months of the programme were not made in vain. The familiar faces seem to have moved on now, and the new faces appear yet to be sold on the good in anything remotely social, let alone art-based.
Each of the events at Art in Bearpit has provided residents, viewers, participants and producers with food for thought – on more than one occasion literally – while providing a platform for discussion among locals, traders, commuters, and artists and producers, around the nature of socially engaged artwork. The invisible wall between the watchers and the watched was removed on day one by The Keepers; the whitewashed gallery walls that so often show art about art for the eyes of other artists seem a world apart from this one, where it isn't necessary to ring a bell to gain entry to the exhibition.
"It is both a message of hope and a reminder of the impermanence of the social make-up of Bearpit."
Philip Cheater's Pavilion, another lasting monument to the programme, was erected in early June with the intention of being a multi-purpose structure for anything from performance, to reading groups, to shelter from the elements. Its interior entirely graffiti-ridden but Pavilion still stands. Among the messages of who performed what kind of act on whom, and general hatred of the police and surveillance, a single line stands out. It is both a message of hope and a reminder of the impermanence of the social make-up of Bearpit. By remaining anonymous its author, in an act of unknowing benediction, permits its reader to project this message onto any member of the Bearpit community, whose one permanent feature is their transience. It reads, 'Bristol I love you, but roll-on 2016, London here I come'.

Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan
The Play Bentonville Plan stated one of the top recreational priorities for our city is an overall trail and bicycle network. Many citizens, during the open input sessions, spoke of how they love the trail system in east and north Bentonville, but the overall system seemed incomplete because of the lack of presence in west Bentonville. The plan spoke of the need of an overall looped and connected system, but emphasized the need for an updated Trails and Pedestrian Plan. In addition, the announcement of the new Walmart Campus has city officials working with the planning team from Walmart about how the campus is connected to the community.
These two factors stresses the need for our city to think long-term about how people maneuver through alternative methods of transportation. Ensuring that strong connectivity is in place ensures the long-term success of a safe and functional cycling network.

The church of St. James the Great at Norton celebrated it's 900th anniversary in 1980. Combatants at Hastings may well have worshipped at this site, the county archaeology office found Saxon remains in the churchyard.
Though Norton Juxta-Kempsey, so named to distinguish it from other similarly named settlements nearby, has never been a large community things are changing. With the building of almost thirty thousand dwellings in the Wychavon area, and the soon to open Norton Parkway Rail Station, the shape of the community here is shifting at a fast pace.
Having stood for approaching a thousand years the church is unsurprisingly showing signs of age. Most noticeable to the churchyard visitor will be the partial collapse of the south western buttress. This mediaeval structure has suffered water ingress over the years causing a slump of the inner fabric that has pushed the masonry outwards. Other high level repairs are inevitable and include the loose finials and other drainage related issues. These repairs are essential to secure the structure's future as a vibrant community space and secure this asset for the future.
A well attended public meeting was held in the church in 2016 where the urgency of the repairs was pointed out. Following this meeting a Heritage Lottery Fund, Grants for Places of Worship bid was submitted. This bid was successful with over two hundred thousand pounds awarded subject to satisfactory heritage development progress. From being a largely closed building the church is now open regularly.
Heritage projects readily identify themselves. The church was the Garrison Church for the Worcester Regiment from 1877 until 1964, aspects of the building are Norman, such as the North wall and the loop window. The Nicholson Organ dates from 1913 and is a Carnegie Trust placement. There are pigeon holes inside the tower, these are unusual. There are a number of military burials in the churchyard.
The Heritage of this church draws visitors from across the globe as travellers seek heritage knowledge relating to their ancestors.
These are challenging times for St James, a time where we need to reach out to and engage with the community.

UFC's Thiago Silva jailed in Florida on four charges, including attempted murder
February 7, 2014 9:35 am ET
Thiago Silva remains jailed in South Florida following a Thursday night altercation at a jiu-jitsu school and subsequent standoff with police at his home.
The UFC light heavyweight is being held at the Broward Sheriff's Office in Broward County, Fla., and faces multiple charges – including a pair of counts of felony attempted murder. According to the BSO website, he is being held without bond on those charges.
Silva also faces charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and non-violent resisting of an officer/obstructing justice.
No court date has been set for the 31-year-old native of Brazil.
But Friday morning, UFC President Dana White told TMZ Sports that Silva "will never fight in the UFC again."
According to a live report from South Florida's NBC-6 TV late Thursday, Silva was taken into custody following an armed standoff with police.
The station reported that a man, now known to be Silva, was taken into custody following a four-hour standoff at a home in Oakland Park, Fla. The standoff occurred, the report said, following an incident at Pablo Popovitch Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Oakland Park, where Silva allegedly threatened people inside before fleeing to his home.
After barricading himself inside his home, NBC-6 reported, Silva was arrested in a non-violent ending.
Public records indicate that the home he fled to at 2041 Coral Heights Blvd. in Oakland Park is the home, as well as business location, of Silva and his wife, Thaysa, who trains at Popovitch's MMA school.
TMZ Sports reported that the police report from Thursday's incident states Silva pulled a gun on his wife at the MMA school, accusing her of having an affair with Popovitch, and told her, "You have 10 seconds to bring Pablo outside and if he does not come out, I will go in the gym and start shooting everyone." After that, the report obtained by TMZ states Popovitch emerged from the building, and Silva then threatened both of them before fleeing to his home when Popovitch went inside to call police.
On Friday morning, a report from NBC-6 showed Silva after being detained after the standoff. From the back of a police car, he told a cameraman he didn't pull a gun on his wife. "She wanted my house and she wanted my money. Just don't report. Can you do that for me?"
UFC officials released a statement to MMAjunkie late Thursday, then later made that statement public. "This evening, we were made aware of a situation involving Thiago Silva," the statement read. "We are in the process of gathering the facts and have no further comment at this time."
The charges filed against Silva were not yet made public at the time of the UFC's initial statement.
Silva (16-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) has had an up-and-down run with the UFC. The Brazilian started his pro MMA career 13-0, including 4-0 in the UFC. But after a win at UFC 125 against Brandon Vera, he falsified a urine sample and had his win overturned to a no-contest and was suspended for a year.
He returned in April 2012 and lost a decision to Alexander Gustafsson. But in his next fight in November 2012, he won "Submission of the Night" against Stanislav Nedkov – only to have it taken away and handed another no-contest when he tested positive for marijuana. He was suspended six months by the UFC.
In 2013, things started looking back up for Silva. He knocked out Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante this past June and won "Fight of the Night" and "Knockout of the Night" honors. And in October, despite missing weight, he beat Matt Hamill in Brazil.
Silva trains with the Blackzilians team in South Florida alongside the likes of Rashad Evans, Vitor Belfort and Anthony Johnson. His next scheduled bout is set for March 15 at UFC 171 in Dallas against Ovince St. Preux.
Stay tuned to MMAjunkie for more details on this story as they become available.
