"Phylogenetic divergence in a desert fish: differentiation of speckled " by Eric J. Billman, Jared B. Lee et al.
Historical events have had a great impact on the biogeography of fishes of western North America. We examined the genetic variation of the speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus) to determine the effects on this species of extensive hydrological changes during the last 10 million years in the Bonneville and Lahontan basins of the Great Basin and the upper Snake River Basin. Eight hundred sixty-nine base pairs of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b were sequenced from 97 individuals representing 22 populations within these 3 basins, as well as from 2 individuals of longnose dace (Rhinichthys cataractae) that served as outgroups. Additionally, 13 speckled dace sequences representing 3 Bonneville populations were used from GenBank. Phylogenetic relationships were reconstructed using maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood criteria. Analysis of molecular variance was used to determine population structure and to estimate the amount of gene flow across the community boundaries. Three distinct clades were reconstructed representing the Lahontan Basin, the northern Bonneville and upper Snake River basins, and the southern Bonneville Basin. Additionally, most of the population structuring was explained by variation among basins (65.33%). Speckled dace demonstrated high genetic variation. As hypothesized, the northern and southern Bonneville specimens formed separate clades; however, the southern Bonneville clade was basal to a sister clade formed by the northern Bonneville/upper Snake River and Lahontan clades. These relationships indicate that Pliocene connections between the Snake, Lahontan, and Bonneville drainages, rather than more recent Pleistocene connections, best explain population structuring in speckled dace.

A new addition to the Haiku and Senryu page is Jacar Press Anthology of Best Living English-Language Haiku Writers, a collection of seven of my poems from this unique anthology. The publisher sought nominations of the best living haiku poets, and my name was among the top twelve names listed (out of about 100). The book contains seven poems by each of the twelve top poets, plus poems by the book's two editors. I also include eight additional poems to show the full fifteen that the editors selected from. Interesting to see who is included as well as excluded. More importantly, I hope you enjoy these poems, which I count as being among my very best.

Pakistan welcomes Trump's offer of mediation on Kashmir
| 11 Nov 2016 12:00 AM GMT
Islamabad, Nov 10: Pakistan on Thursday said it "welcomed" the US President-elect Dold Trump's offer to mediate between Pakistan and India on the Kashmir dispute. During a weekly press briefing in Islamabad, while responding to queries about the victory of Republican Dold Trump in the US presidential election, Foreign Office spokesman fees Zakaria said the President-elect had earlier offered mediation between Pakistan and India on Kashmir dispute and "we had welcomed that offer". Zakaria said Pakistan desires a close relationship with the US, and wishes to further strengthen it.
The US President-elect last month said that if elected, he would be willing to play a mediatory role in addressing the "very, very hot tinderbox" of Kashmir between India and Pakistan. "If it was necessary, I would do that. If we could get India and Pakistan getting along, I would be honoured to do that. That would be a tremendous achievement... I think if they wanted me to, I would love to be the mediator or arbitrator," Trump said in the interview. (IANS)

We Tried Deepika's *Pouf* Hairstyle… Here's How We Rocked It!
Deepika Padukone is an actress who has revolutionized the traditional puffed-hair hairstyle. Whether it is at award functions or in her movies, her pouf is always on-point! Well, we at POPxo decided to try the iconic Deepika Padukone pouf hairstyle. This is how we fared! Psst: Learn how to perfect the Deepika Padukone pouf here.
'I'm not a big fan of doing fancy hairstyles… With hair as thick as mine, even a simple braid can be quite a task. But even though this pouf hairstyle was a bit complicated, with the number of bobby pins and all the backcombing, it was so worth it! It kept my hair in place all day and still looked good! Better than my usual messy bun for sure!' - Divya Sharma, Assistant Editor Also read: We Tried 8 Kajals. Here's How They Looked By The End Of The Day!
Image: Deepika Padukone on Instagram 'Two bobby pins and a hair tie was all it took to replicate this pouf. This hairdo is perfect for those hot sunny days. I love it because it gives structure to my face and makes me feel bold and confident. Probably not as neat as Deepika's, but definitely worth the try and effort.' - Sharon Alphonoso, Lifestyle & Beauty Writer Also read: We Tried 14 Lipsticks. Here's How They Looked After Lunch-Time!

Battery Ventures Closes $750M Fund
Wade Roush
@soonishpodcast
Battery Ventures, which has offices in Waltham, MA, Menlo Park, CA, and Herzeliya, Israel, said today that it has closed its latest fund at the targeted level of $750 million. The firm says it plans to invest the fund—its ninth—in Internet, digital media, financial and information services, cleantech, software, enterprise IT, semiconductors, and industrial technologies. Managing partner Tom Crotty said in a statement that Battery could not have closed the ninth fund at the $750 million target (the same size as its eighth fund) without the "strong support" of existing limited partners, who make up 85 percent of the fund's investors. Battery's Boston-area portfolio companies include ITA Software, Pursway, and Viridity; the firm was also an investor in Akamai (NASDAQ: AKAM), which went public in 1999.

ElBaradei to join Tufts' Fletcher School as Nobel-Laureate-in-Residence
Ahram Online , Friday 6 Dec 2013
Egyptian Nobel-Laureate and former vice president Mohamed ElBaradei will join the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy starting in the fall of 2014
Renowned international diplomat and former Egyptian vice president Mohamed ElBaradei will join the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University in Boston as Nobel-Laureate-in-Residence in the fall of 2014.
"The entire Fletcher and Tufts community is proud to welcome Dr. ElBaradei, a courageous leader and powerful advocate for international peace and security," said Admiral James Stavridis, the dean of the Fletcher School, in a statement published on Wednesday.
According to Stayridis' statement, ElBaradei will focus on a range of co-curricular activities "drawing on his experience as head of the IAEA [Internationl Atomic Energy Agency] as well as the critical role he played in Egypt through the recent years of political turmoil."
"He will engage with students and faculty in public lectures and smaller, private events at the Fletcher School as well as other schools within Tufts University," adds the statement.
The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University was founded in 1933 as the first school exclusively for graduate studies in international affairs in the United States.
ElBaradei has expressed his delight to be joining the Fletcher School.
"At a time when we are facing the chaos and complexity of an increasingly interconnected world, sound management of international affairs has become key to our global well being. I look forward to what I'm sure will be a most stimulating intellectual interaction with a superb faculty and student body under the inspiring leadership of Dean Stavridis," said ElBaradei.
ElBaradei left Egypt after resigning from his position as vice president on 14 August in objection to the violent dispersal of pro-Morsi protest camps in Cairo by security forces, which left hundreds of protesters dead. ElBaradei said he was troubled by the loss of life, which he argued "could have been avoided."
Since then, the Nobel peace laureate has been the subject of a smear campaign by journalists and politicians who accused him of being "unpatriotic" for his resignation from government during a critical moment in Egyptian politics.
ElBaradei is a renowned advocated of democracy, credited with calling on Egyptians prior to the January 25 revolution to end Mubarak's rule.
He is a graduate of the faculty of law at Cairo University, after which he joined the Egyptian Foreign Service before launching his international career. He was an adjunct professor of international law at the New York University School of Law from 1981 to 1987, and he served as director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from 1997 until 2009, when he was appointed director general emeritus.
In 2005, ElBaradei and the IAEA received the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts "to prevent nuclear energy from being used for military purposes and to ensure that nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is used in the safest possible way."

They are distinctive yellow and black flying creatures that make a characteristic buzzing sound that becomes audible if they come into close proximity with you. Some species of the bee, like the Honey Bee, are arguably the most important creatures in our ecosystem, responsible for over 80% of the pollination required by most fruits, legumes, and vegetable seed plants. Many also do not sting. Therefore, it is essential to get a better understanding of the different species in order to identify the best form of bee and wasp control in Melbourne for your home or business.
Wasps are fierce predators, hunting and eating almost every form of insect pest that harms crops. However, some wasps have a tendency to be attracted to food that humans eat, which is why you may occasionally find one flying around you whilst you're consuming food. Those who have been stung by wasps often report that it can be a painful experience, with others having witnessed hives being built around their home.
To keep your home as unattractive as possible to bees and wasps, it is ideal to keep food sources well sealed–especially those that have a high sugar and protein content, as this is what they appear to be most attracted to.
European Wasps have a yellow and black body and are the ones that are generally responsible for the painful stings that some have experienced. If indoors, they prefer to build nests in some cavities, walls and ceilings, and compost bins.
Honey Bees are a more dull shade of yellow, with the same black stripes on their body. They often build their nests in trees, and occasionally in wall cavities or roof spaces.

Q4: Welcome to prayer training by Jesus..
AJ: "..there is always room for doubt.."
Me: "..but other's will say its only my own self talk ?.."
AJ: "...that is not your concern.."
Me: "..people will think I am mad.."
AJ: "..the inspired man finds hatred among his own.."
AJ: "..do not lose faith.. you know I am with you.."
Me: "..yes Lord I know.."
This dialogue is for the reader, and shows one can doubt the still small voice of Jesus via the Holy Spirit talking to you. We often listen to Satan because He is a still small voice that easily appeals to our fleshy nature. Jesus and the Holy Spirit on the other hand, are still small voices that oppose the human fleshy nature, and thus if you hear an instruction contrary to one's natural will, it may be the voice of God. Learn to discern Jesus talk.
Other scholars pine away the still small voice as a Hebrew idiom, and thus conclude that God does not talk audibly to man. Doubt if you want to. Faith is the oppposite of doubt.
(15) Who dwells in heaven?
(24) Who will ascend to heaven?

Skal Labissiere went to Haiti. Why the Kings forward says it was important to go home
` July 22, 2017
By Noel Harris
nharris@sacbee.com
Traveling is not allowed in basketball. However, for some Kings players this offseason, that word has taken on a much different meaning.
Days after Sacramento center Willie Cauley-Stein visited Vietnam to work on his painting skills, another Kings player got on a plane and traveled to his homeland.
In a feature he wrote on the team's website, Kings forward Skal Labissiere discussed his first trip to Haiti in almost seven years.
He recalls the massive earthquake in Haiti that killed more than 200,000 people in January 2010. He also talks about family and friends, his faith and starting a youth basketball camp.
"I was one of those kids growing up who always wanted some guidance, wanted to talk to people in the NBA," Labissiere said in a video posted on the Kings' YouTube page. "For me to go back and help the kids … I just want to be an inspiration to them."
He said that although he'd teach skills on the court, he wanted to do more with the children.
"After all, it wasn't so long ago that I was in their position – roaming the streets of Haiti looking to make my dreams come true," he wrote. "Whether future basketball stars or not, these kids are going to make Haiti proud. It's bigger than basketball."
Labissiere left for Haiti after playing with the Kings in the NBA Summer League, which ended Monday in Las Vegas. The forward who will begin his second NBA season in 2017-18 averaged 10 points, five rebounds and 1.5 blocks in six summer league games.
Another Kings player had an opportunity to travel to his native country this offseason, but decided that work comes first.
Kings guard Buddy Hield was invited to the Bahamas to participate in the Basketball without Borders Camp but opted to stay stateside to play in the summer league.
"This is my job," Hield told The Bee before summer league began. "I've got to be here. This is more important."

India delays process of exchanging banned banknotes
It has been more than 10 days since the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) formally sought the Indian central bank's permission to initiate the process of providing exchange facility to Nepalis possessing demonitised 500- and 1,000-rupee Indian banknotes.
While thousands of people here are waiting to replace the now-defunct currency with legal tenders, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has not responded till date.
The NRB had sought RBI's permission to commence the process of exchanging demonetised Indian banknotes worth up to IRs4,500 per individual as proposed by the Indian central bank.
"We had sent a letter to the RBI on April 13 seeking their go-ahead to start collecting the now defunct Indian banknotes. But we have not heard from them," said Bhisma Raj Dhungana, head of the Foreign Exchange Management Department at the NRB.
During a meeting held in Nepal in March, RBI officials had proposed to allow Nepalis to exchange demonetised Indian banknotes worth up to IRs4,500 per individual. At that time, NRB officials had declined the offer and demanded that the ceiling be raised to IRs25,000 per person.
As both sides declined to budge from their stance, the meeting had ended inconclusively. Later, the NRB had written to the Ministry of Finance seeking advice. The Finance Ministry told the NRB to provide exchange facility for up to IRs4,500 per individual as proposed by India, but continue pushing Indian authorities to raise the ceiling beyond that threshold.
The NRB subsequently wrote to the RBI based on the Finance Ministry instruction.
"We don't know what is causing the delay," Dhungana said.
Once the RBI allows the NRB to provide exchange facility, the NRB will issue a public notice, calling on everyone to deposit the banned currency in banking institutions.
Earlier, the NRB had said it had prepared a software to keep database of people seeking the exchange facility; serial number of bills of IRs500 and IRs1,000 submitted by these people; and their identification numbers.
The Indian government, in a surprise move on November 8, pulled IRs500 and IRs1,000 out of circulation "to unearth unaccounted wealth and fight corruption". Since then, the NRB has also banned use of those notes in Nepal.
The Nepali central bank had allowed Nepalis to carry Indian banknotes of 500- and 1,000-rupee denominations based on the Indian government's decision.
The Reserve Bank of India, in February 2015, introduced a new Foreign Exchange Management (export and import of currency) Regulations, allowing Nepali and Bhutanese citizens to "carry Reserve Bank of India currency notes of denomination IRs500 and/or IRs1,000 up to a limit of IRs25,000".
The NRB has said IRs78.5 million in the denominations of 500 and 1,000 is within the financial system in Nepal. The figure includes cash parked at vaults of banks, financial institutions and the NRB. Previously, the NRB had estimated the amount to hover around IRs33.6 million.
But actual stock of banned Indian bank notes is expected to be much higher because Nepalis were previously allowed to carry Indian 500- and 1,000-rupee bank notes worth up to IRs25,000.
Also, those residing in areas bordering India usually stash Indian notes of larger denominations as they have to frequent Indian markets to buy goods.


Most scaffolding works are designed to TG20 this is the technical guidance for the use of scaffold contractors, a compliance sheet is carried out before any works are carried out to ensure works are within this scope. Any works outside the scope require a scaffold design and calculations this is a legal requirement.
BeeJay Scaffolding work closely with a number of Scaffold Engineers who are able to produce design drawings and calculations using CAD software bespoke to your project. The design allows us to build the scaffold safely and knowing that we are working with the design parameters, the design will take in to account the environment, surroundings, and any specific requirements and potential scenarios that would be required.


On July 6, 2013 the Chariot Fire raged in the Laguna Mountains nearby. I was camping up there that weekend and had to evacuate. The fire burned over 7,000 acres of forest and destroyed 149 structures. After the fire I was hired to assist in evaluating the cost of some of the lost structures. One of these were a small lodge, Foster Lodge, owned and operated by the Sierra Club.
The cabin was completely destroyed.
Note the Oak trees that surrounded cabin. Most of these old growth Oaks were lost. While on the site I had a small section of the one of the trees cut. I dried it for a year and then on the anniversary of the fire turned it into this simple little box.
Southern California fires take so much from us every year. I'm glad I could save this little piece.
Man I'm glad you posted this! It not only is beautiful, basically because it doesn't look plastic, but because as you said it saved a little piece of beauty out of a tragedy. Thanks so much for posting. It also remind me of that fine woodworking doesn't have to come from exotic and expensive material.
+1 what Steve said. This is an awesome build, and a gr8 story. Forest fires make me sad, and sick feeling.
Wood with a history/story is always the best kind. I can't believe you sawed that lumber from that log with a handsaw! Very impressive.
Thanks for posting this, so great that this piece of Oak has a new life. I love the way you have used hand tools as well great work.
Sad story. Its nice you were able to make something nice from it.
Wow. Beatiful history. Congratulation guy.
Beautiful box and beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.
Editors Choice….....deservedly so! This is simple elegance by way of tragedy. Like the way you did the lid/trim and the splines really set it off. True eye candy!
Wow! Can't believe I missed this earlier.
Magnificent story and even better project.
Great project. Good story all the way around.


The Annual Christmas draw of the LtR 50/50 club took place in the pub session after a good practice night in Whitehaven.
The lucky annual prize winner was Ann O'Hare who has been learning to ring at Ringwood, Hants.
Christine Day, a learner at Twickenham who joined this autum and won in her first draw!
There are currently 75 members of the club, which donated £649 towards ART's running costs this year and gave out the same amount in prizes.
It's easy to join. Please do join, and encourage others: teachers and people being taught, to help give something back to ringing!


The release of some 484 previously secret Foreign Affairs Department documents relating to East Timor, dating from 1974 to 1976, just days before the Olympic Games began in Sydney, may have been mere coincidence. In any event, it had the effect of disguising the events which led to the Indonesian occupation of East Timor and the responsibility of then Australian Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam, for the developing Timor tragedy.
The documents were released under the title, Australia and the Indonesian Incorporation of East Timor.
Much of the media's attention was focused on the role of the Australian Ambassador in Indonesia at the time, Richard Woolcott, who urged Australian acquiescence in Indonesia's plans (about which he had foreknowledge), and the advanced warning he gave to the Whitlam Government about the Indonesian incursion in October 1975, during which five Australian journalists were killed.
However important these events might appear to be, Mr Woolcott was simply a public servant at the time, answerable to his political masters in Canberra; and in any case, his actions were themselves the consequence of Mr Whitlam's earlier decision to acquiesce in Indonesia's absorption of East Timor.
Although the Timor documents have been censored to delete sensitive intelligence material, enough emerges from them to make clear that early in 1975, seven months before the Indonesian invasion, Mr Whitlam held a fateful meeting with Indonesia's President Suharto in Townsville, at which Australia's Timor policy was determined.
At that meeting, Suharto made clear his concern about the collapse of Portuguese administration in East Timor, due to the emergence of a pro-communist military government in Portugal, which had sided with the Marxist Fretilin group in East Timor, just as it had done in Portugal's African colonies, Angola and Mozambique.
Whitlam, who had earlier pushed Papua New Guinea into premature independence, and whose antipathy to Portugal was legendary, told the Indonesian President that he supported their incorporation of East Timor, but would not do so publicly in Australia.
Apparently, the reasons for this were the fact that Whitlam was cultivating the left in Australia, which supported Fretilin, and the fact that both his Foreign Minister, Don Willessee, and the head of the Foreign Affairs Department, Alan Renouf, disagreed with his policy.
In any event, developments in East Timor in 1975, forced Indonesia's hand. Shortly after the Townsville meeting, Portugal hosted a meeting in Portuguese Macau of the political parties in East Timor, to determine a timetable for the transition to independence. Those present decided that the future of East Timor should be determined by referendum, under UN auspices, not earlier than 1976 nor later than 1978. Fretilin boycotted this meeting.
In August 1975, following reports that Fretilin planned a coup later that month, the pro-Portuguese Democratic Union of Timor (UDT) attempted to seize power. This failed when the Portuguese garrison in Dili turned its guns over to Fretilin, who themselves took control of Dili and subsequently other parts of the colony.
The Fretilin takeover was characterised by executions of their political opponents, as well as women and children. Estimates at the time put the death toll at 2,000 — and further, some 40,000 refugees fled into Indonesian Timor, Australia and Portugal, as documented by Senator Willessee in Federal Parliament on November 9, 1975.
Indonesia — clearly alarmed at the prospect of a mini-Cuba being established within the archipelago, and with recent memories of the attempted Communist takeover in Indonesia itself — immediately proposed an international peace-keeping force in East Timor, including Indonesian and Portuguese troops, but the proposal was not accepted.
In this anarchic situation, Indonesia limited itself to trying to destabilise Fretilin by encouraging a covert invasion from Indonesian West Timor, during which the five Australian journalists were tragically killed. Clearly, the Whitlam Government knew about this at the time, and remained silent about it.
A little later, Australia became engulfed in its own constitutional crisis of 1975, when Whitlam attempted to govern without Supply. This deadlock was broken on November 11, 1975, when the Governor-General sacked Mr Whitlam, and appointed Malcolm Fraser as caretaker Prime Minister to conduct elections a month later.
But during the election period, Fretilin unilaterally declared the Independence of East Timor, provoking the open Indonesian occupation.
Responsibility for the tragedy in East Timor falls on many shoulders. But a major share rests with Mr Whitlam — the self-styled Australian statesman who strutted the world stage — who also laid the ground for the current political mess in Papua New Guinea, and the disgraceful betrayal of anti-communist South Vietnam at the time of the Communist takeover in April 1975.

The Indian Ocean is notorious for tropical revolving storms. Consequently, this leg of Solar Navigator's world navigation is potentially one of the most dangerous, depending on the time of year. The distance between Jakarta and Colombo is approximately 1250 miles passing through the equator some 800 miles into the journey. Solar Navigator will stop at Colombo to display its solar and other advanced electrical and electronic technologies and also to take on board provisions for the 12th leg of the world navigation.
Sri Lanka is shaped like a giant teardrop falling from the southern tip of the vast Indian subcontinent. It is separated from India by the 50km (31mi) wide Palk Strait, although there is a series of stepping-stone coral islets known as Adam's Bridge which almost form a land bridge between the two countries. The island is just 350km (217mi) long and only 180km (112mi) wide at its widest, and is about the same size as Ireland, West Virginia or Tasmania.
The southern half of the island is dominated by beautiful and rugged hill country. The entire northern half comprises a large plain extending from the edge of the hill country to the Jaffna peninsula. The highest mountain is the 2524m (1565mi) Mt Pidurutalagala near Nuwara Eliya, and the longest river is the Mahaweli which courses from the centre and empties into the Indian Ocean at Trincomalee. The best beaches are on the south-western, southern and south-eastern coasts.
Sri Lanka is a typically tropical country with distinct dry and wet seasons, but the picture is somewhat complicated by the fact that it is subject to two monsoons: the Yala season (May to August), when the south-west monsoon brings rain to the southern, western and central regions; and the Maha season (October to January), when the north-east monsoon brings rain to the north and east of the island. Temperatures in the low-lying coastal regions are high year round but they rapidly fall with altitude and in the hill country, where it feels like perpetual spring. The highest temperatures are from March through June, while November to January is usually the coolest time of the year. Rainfall is heaviest in the south, south west and central highlands; the northern and north-central regions are very dry. The best time to visit the west, south coast and hill country is between December and March. May to September is best on the east coast.
Then known as Ceylon, Sri Lanka finally achieved full independence as a dominion within the British Commonwealth in 1948. The government adopted socialist policies, strengthening social services and maintaining a strong economy, but also disenfranchising 800,000 Tamil plantation workers. Sinhalese nationalist Solomon Bandaranaike was elected in 1956 and pushed a 'Sinhala Only' law through parliament, making Sinhalese the national language and effectively reserving the best jobs for the Sinhalese. This was partly instituted to address the imbalance of power between the majority Sinhalese and the English-speaking, Christian-educated elite. However, it enraged the Tamil Hindu minority who began pressing for a federal system of government with greater autonomy in the main Tamil areas in the north and east.
President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga was born to one of Sri Lanka's most distinguished families on 29th June 1945. Her father, SWRD Bandaranaike, was a senior Minister of the Government at the time of her birth.

Conceptual artist Vlado Martek presents his artworks created in last 30 years of his career at the exhibition titled Language in Freedom in Trieste Contemporanea. The exhibition opens on 16th of April and stays on view till 18th of June.
Vlado Martek (1951) is a Croatian artist and poet. Parallel to his artistic career, he works a lifelong time in a library. He has studied philosophy and literature at Faculty of Philosophy at Zagreb University.
Both of the subjects are deeply present in his visual art, but he has entered the art world by writing poetry. In mid seventies Martek has joined a neo-conceptual Group of Six Artists, which was active until mid eighties. The group was the first to exit exhibition spaces and went to work in the streets, mostly in the form of actions, exhibitions-actions, and were interactive with the audience.
Communication with the audience remained ever since an element of Martek's work.
He has used poetry for writing but he started doing "poetic objects", writing mixed with other objects and composed into a visual art. He remained a trans-medial artist during the whole of his career. He works in variety of media simultaneously, crossing from visual arts to poetry, from photography to writings, from actions and performances to drawings, or installations. He is in a constant flux, and he is Fluxus influenced, he leans on art from Duchampian provenance, concrete poetry and historical Avant-Gardes.
He has an obvious book interest and has published numerous artists' books and samizdats, considering them a form of social activism.
As a poet active in this artistic formation, he developed the concept of 'pre-poet' and 'pre-poetry.
He never abandoned his philosophical background and many works relate to philosophy or relevant philosophical figures of European 20th century.
Works in this exhibition cover the time span of almost 30 years, the oldest being created in early 80ies and the last just recently in 2011. They are presented in groups mixed no matter of when they were created or in which media they are made in, but in thematic groups, presenting the liberty of usage of language, showing how his interests have a continuum and consistency.

In this part, we'll look at the settings need to get your NUCs to automatically install and configure.
You will need a server that can handle TFTP and Web requests. Since I am using a Synology Diskstation for my iSCSI storage needs, this can also handle both TFTP and Web. If you don't have a TFTP server, you can use the free TFTP tool from SolarWinds.
In order for PXE booting to work, you need to create an entry in your DHCP server for the NUCs, and make sure the PXE settings are correct. I already have a Windows 2008 R2 server running DHCP for my home network, so these steps will reflect this. Most home routers should allow you to add the two required setings.
While you are in your DHCP settings, add an IP reservation for your NUCs. This will help with the auto configuration later. To do this, you will need IP addresses that is not being used, and should ideally be outside your DHCP Scope. You will also need the MAC addresses from the bottom of your NUCs.
You will also need to give your NUCs a name. I have gone for the simple route of calling them ESX1, ESX2 and ESX3.
Now that your have your DHCP setup, we can extract the files from the ISO image we created in Part 2. Extract them to a know location, and setup your TFTP server to point to these files.
Make sure you enter the name or IP address of your web server in the correct place. Don't change anything else, unless you really have to.
The last remaining file is called pxelinux.0. To be honest, I can't remember where I got this from, but it's required and important. To download file file, unzip it and copy it to the same TFTP folder as the ISO files.
The installation script is a large file that automates the configuration of ESXi once it has been installed. I have separated this script out to another blog post as it would make this page very long indeed.

At times, a spirit that hasn't crossed over yet may linger as they have some sort of "unfinished business." Sometimes, they linger in our homes, cars, or at work. If we sense them during your reading, we will clear them out of your home and help them on their journey by crossing them over or helping them release whatever they were holding onto. Almost all of our clients report a significant "light feeling" in the area where they felt was once dark and "spooky."
Spiritual Guidance can confirm information that an individual may be receiving from their own Higher Self, but because they may not be totally connected or emotionally involved, they are unable to really allow that information to be perceived or understood as a clear truth. A spiritual guide that points toward the same information can then delve deeper into the situations that may be surrounding the issues of why a person may not be able to totally trust the guidance received. Even those who would consider themselves advanced on the spiritual path, still from time to time, need a little outside confirmation from another connected being to see if their information is coming through clearly. This added confirmation from an outside source can sometimes be just the encouragement someone needs in taking that next step. Spiritual readings are more interactive and encourages the person being read to participate in the learning process. It is not a process where you should try to test your reader by giving incorrect information or trying to be vague. It should be considered counseling or therapy which involves a two-way interaction. The other difference that may be experienced between these two types of guidance is that spiritual guidance can, at times, be harsh and more direct. The goal is to help the person evolve to a higher level and sometimes the person needs to take responsibility for the situations that are currently being experienced. It can awaken dormant emotions, which can be very painful or can also release waves of anger. These emotions, if processed appropriately, can be used to initiate a healing process in an area that was once considered a block. If one is sincerely following a spiritual path, then they must take responsibility for the good and the bad that is occurring in their life. Not to mention some of the negative scenarios that they may have committed in a past lifetime.
In 1781, a French Freemason (and former Protestant minister) named Antoine Court de Gebelin published a complex analysis of the Tarot, in which he revealed that the symbolism in the Tarot was in fact derived from the esoteric secrets of Egyptian priests. De Gebelin went on to explain that this ancient occult knowledge had been carried to Rome and revealed to the Catholic Church and the popes, who desperately wanted to keep this arcane knowledge secret. In his essay, the chapter on Tarot meanings explains the detailed symbolism of Tarot artwork and connects it to the legends of Isis, Osiris and other Egyptian gods.
No doubt a great importance in the paranormal field is the problem of fraud. The field of psychic research and spiritualism has been so notoriously full of charlatans, such as the Fox sisters and Eusapia Palladino–individuals who claim to have special power and gifts but who are actually conjurers who have hoodwinked scientists and the public as well–that we have to be especially cautious about claims made on their behalf.[58]
Thousands of people from different cultures have had experiences with these beings. According to an ancient Jewish tradition, angels were the first intelligent beings, created by God to help sustain life and assist you in all areas of your life. Have you ever said to yourself, How did I get out of that situation safely? It must have been luck. Well, luck may have played a part in it, but it's more than likely that you had a little angelic assistance.
Psychic readings have been used for centuries by the most powerful kings and queens, the Hollywood elite, the rich and famous, and people just like you seeking advice and answers from a higher source. Real psychics can provide valuable insights into a situation that is troubling you, shed light on relationship issues, and give you answers to your burning questions. Online psychic advisors are gifted professionals who prefer the convenience of providing readings via chat, voice or email, and it allows them to help more people than they could see in person.
In the later half of the 20th century, Western mediumship developed in two different ways. One type involved clairaudience or sensitives who hear spirit, and then relay what they hear to their clients.[29] The other incarnation of non-physical mediumship is a form of channeling in which the channeler goes into a trance, or "leaves their body", allowing a spirit entity to borrow their body, who then speaks through them.[30] When in a trance the medium appears to come under the control of the spirit of a departed soul, sometimes entering into a cataleptic state,[31] although modern channelers may not.[citation needed] Some channelers open the eyes when channeling, and remain able to walk and behave normally. The rhythm and the intonation of the voice may also change completely.
Heart Reading is a miracle tool used to achieve a more thorough understanding of others. This tool can help you improve any relationship, such as between a husband and wife, difficulties in communication with parents, children, friends, employers, co-workers, or anyone else in your life. If you wonder if a person would be an honest and suitabbyle partner in business or a faithful and caring soul mate in love, this is the direct line to the truth inside of their heart.
Do compose your emotions and appearance to hide any revealing information about yourself. Your facial expression, style of dress, personal mannerisms, and emotional outbursts can tell a psychic, especially a false one, a great deal about you to make it look like she knows all these things from a paranormal reading, when in fact, she is merely interpreting your physical appearance or reactions.
In the late 1920s and early 1930s there were around one quarter of a million practising Spiritualists and some two thousand Spiritualist societies in the UK in addition to flourishing microcultures of platform mediumship and 'home circles'.[18] Spiritualism continues to be practiced, primarily through various denominational spiritualist churches in the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, over 340 spiritualist churches and centres open their doors to the public and free demonstrations of mediumship are regularly performed.[19]
Focus on yourself: If the reading is for you, make sure your question centers on you rather than on someone else who you think may be the root of your problem. For example, asking why your teenager is experimenting with drugs is focusing on them, not you. Asking what role you play in your teen's decision to experiment with drugs brings the question back to you.
Jump up ^ Joseph McCabe. (1920). Spiritualism: A Popular History from 1847. Dodd, Mead and Company. pp. 110–12. A Mr. Merrifield was present at one of the sittings. Home's usual phenomena were messages, the moving of objects (presumably at a distance), and the playing of an accordion which he held with one hand under the shadow of the table. But from an early date in America he had been accustomed occasionally to "materialise" hands (as it was afterwards called). The sitters would, in the darkness, faintly see a ghostly hand and arm, or they might feel the touch of an icy limb. Mr. Merrifield and the other sitters saw a "spirit-hand" stretch across the faintly lit space of the window. But Mr. Merrifield says that Home sat, or crouched, low in a low chair, and that the "spirit-hand" was a false limb on the end of Home's arm. At other times, he says, he saw that Home was using his foot."
Sit in on a mediumistic circle to develop your skills. You need others to practice with and to discuss what's working and what's not. You can build strong bonds and make good friends while learning together. Your local spiritualist church is likely to run a mediumistic circle. An 'open circle' is where anyone can come along and join, a 'closed circle' is by invitation only. You can graduate from one to the other. You may be able to find independent spiritual and metaphysical circles online, directed by an experienced medium.
The oldest surviving tarot cards are the 15 or so Visconti-Sforza tarot decks painted in the mid-15th century for the rulers of the Duchy of Milan.[8] A lost tarot-like pack was commissioned by Duke Filippo Maria Visconti and described by Martiano da Tortona probably between 1418 and 1425, since the painter he mentions, Michelino da Besozzo, returned to Milan in 1418, while Martiano himself died in 1425. He described a 60-card deck with 16 cards having images of the Greek gods and suits depicting four kinds of birds. The 16 cards were regarded as "trumps" since in 1449 Jacopo Antonio Marcello recalled that the now deceased duke had invented a novum quoddam et exquisitum triumphorum genus, or "a new and exquisite kind of triumphs".[9] Other early decks that also showcased classical motifs include the Sola-Busca and Boiardo-Viti decks of the 1490s.[1]
You may not always get the opportunity to physically sit down with someone who is skilled in the art of reading the cards, or perhaps afford to pay for regular readings, so here at Lotus Tarot we aim to provide you with a little guidance and easy and convenient access to information. Hopefully, this will bring you some pleasure, as well as insights and hope for the future.

OIP (Oblivion: Intimate Portraits) is the title of the new album by Italian band Venus's Delight. The group is led by multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and composer Alessandro Gregori.
On OIP, Alessandro Gregori delivers a set of melancholic songs influenced by post rock and Van Dr Graaf Generator sensibility.
One of the highlights is "White Morning," a prog rock song where Venus's Delight adds nicely-crafted keyboards and vocals, topped by a climactic guitar solo.
The progressive rock direction continues with "Kindflow," where you'll find creative bass lines, keyboards and edgy guitars.
Another high point is "From Ash To Sand," a dramatic piece featuring jazz-style drums and a notable mix of acoustic and electric guitars.
The final standout is the final track, "OIP." Here, Venus's Delight treats the listener to mesmerizing looped electronic sounds and atmospheres that morph into post rock with introspective vocals.


The rematch between Public League rivals Julian and Simeon will have to wait another year. In the Public League semifinals Saturday at Gately Stadium, 16th-ranked Julian stopped Morgan Park 22-19 before Bogan ambushed Simeon 26-14.
Julian, which had smashed Simeon 42-12 during the regular season, needed a second-half rally to deck Morgan Park. Bogan spotted Simeon (8-4) a 14-0 first-quarter lead before quarterback Jim Moland rallied his team with a furious 19-point fourth-quarter surge.
Julian (10-2), seeking its seventh city title in the last 11 years, and Bogan (11-2) meet in the title game at 1 p.m. Saturday at Gately Stadium.
Derrick Johnson (75 yards on 13 carries) culminated a four-play, 41-yard drive with a 6-yard touchdown run with 3:02 left in the third quarter to make it 19-6 and start Julian`s rally from 19-0 halftime deficit. Johnson then added a 5-yard touchdown dash early in the fourth quarter to make it 19-14.
Quarterback Torrance Garfield (6 of 23 for 124 yards) collaborated with Demitrius Coleman on a 59-yard pass play with 5:03 left in the game to give Julian its winning edge. Coleman caught the pass at the 30.
Morgan Park (10-4), led by Lamont Bonnett (82 yards on 19 carries), bulled its way to a 19-0 lead on 18- and 20-yard touchdown runs by quarterback Raymond Roberts in the first quarter and a 9-yard bolt by Leo Daniels with a fumble in the second quarter.
''We made several mistakes to get behind in the first half, but the kids remained calm and recovered well,'' said Julian coach J.W. Smith, whose Jaguars had 224 total yards to 158 for Morgan Park.
Moland (6 of 13 for 117 yards) sparked Bogan`s come-from-behind victory with a 52-yard touchdown pass to Larry Ronald, a 20-yard scoring pass to Terry Marcel and a 1-yard TD plunge in the fourth quarter. Lenny Adamczyk (113 yards on 24 carries) had started the rally with a 3-yard TD run in the second quarter.
Bogan had 291 total yards (174 on the ground) to 198 for Simeon (128 rushing). Shango Cooke had 115 yards on 18 carries for Simeon. Jackson was 4 of 18 passing for 50 yards and was sacked twice.
