Sia confirms marriage to Erik Anders Lang
23rd Apr 2015 9:00 AM
SIA has confirmed her marriage to Erik Anders Lang.
The notoriously-private star was believed to have married the filmmaker at their Palm Springs home eight months ago but has only just confirmed their nuptials and even revealed the director has finally met her father.
After being congratulated by Australian station Nova 96.9's DJs Fitzy and Wippa on her marriage, she said: "Thanks! He met dad for the first time yesterday.

"They actually fell in love with each other and that was awesome."
The 'Chandelier' singer had been keen to show Eric the sights of her home nation but found it difficult to get out and about without being spotted.
She said: "It's kind of disappointing because we can't do anything. I'm kind of a bit famous. I didn't realise I'm so famous.
"It's crazy but I'm thinking I might rock a [disguise]. I've got some plans. We would really like to get out but also the rain is pretty crazy."
And the 39-year-old star has also penned a song about her husband which she is keen to give to Bruno Mars or Maroon 5.
Asked if she has written anything about their first kiss, she said: "It's not really my jam although I did write one right before we got together I like to say is about us.
"I'm trying to pitch that to Maroon 5 or Bruno Mars. It's called 'Step By Step'."

Would you please tell the readers of Computers weekly more about your job as a security and information protection consultant at IBM?
Security is only one of the directions on which the experts from IBM Global Services (IGS) focus their efforts. IGS is the consultancy division of IBM which deals with the services and the implementation of complete complex solutions, including software, hardware and services connected both with the implementation itself and the evaluation of the necessity of the specific solution, analysis of its impact on the business, changes in the organization processes, and others. As one of the IT architects in IGS, my activity is the sector of the security services and consultancy, infrastructure solutions and open source software. Part of my job is to change the mentality regarding the security among the business representatives in Bulgaria. Help them realize that the care for the security should be looked at as a constant process, that they should think the information security globally. It does not make sense if the companies buy a system for thousands of dollars for physical control over the access to the premises and, at the same time, not to possess a platform for access management through the network and the consumers' roles.
What solutions does your company offer in this direction?
IBM offers a wide range of solutions – from helping the client evaluate the situation of his company and choose a solution, apply and implement it and manage it afterwards.
As part of our global e–business hosting services, IBM offers a solution which commits us to protect the clients against spam, viruses and harmful content. The client will not need to buy antivirus or anti-spam software; he will neither need subscriptions for each workstation nor renew the software definitions. Instead, he concedes all these concerns to IBM. Our company is committed to check every electronic letter, to stop or "clean" it from viruses or harmful codes if there are any, as well as filter the spam traffic. The client could easily configure himself in details the behavior of the service. This is provided by IBM devices which are located in IBM server farms worldwide or in case the client wants, they can be put in his IT centers. IBM offers this service in Bulgaria and the company is able to provide it to every client who uses post infrastructure IBM Lotus Notes/Domino or Microsoft Exchange. The service is price–attractive and is designed for clients with over 500–1000 consumers. Another interesting service which IBM offers is the so – called ethical hacking. Despite its exotic name, this is a service which represents check – up and evaluation of the vulnerability of a particular network or part of it, of a sole machine or a whole system, or of a separate software application regarding a possible harmful hacker attack. The idea is to discover omissions in the security and possible vulnerabilities before the malevolent network hackers find and use them.
Is the organized cyber crime a real threat to the Bulgarian companies?
58% of the companies worldwide are confident that the cyber crime would cost them more than the physical crimes, according to the data of an IBM research among companies in 17 countries across the world, including 8 European countries. The cost of the cyber crimes, in the respondents' opinion, is measured with lost profits, loss of current and future clients, and decrease of the employees' productivity. No doubt the organized cyber crime is a real threat to the Bulgarian companies too. Information costs money. The thieves of information will get bigger in number. For a few years now, the security has been issue number one for the IT managers in the whole world. Bulgaria is part of the world and both the network and the events in internet affect us directly, no matter if we are ready for this or not. The opinion that things will happen here later is not applicable anymore to the present situation and the business which is open towards the network.
Which are the main components of the creation of a high quality protection against harmful intrusion and protection of information?
There cannot be a generally applicable architecture. That is why IBM offers solutions in accordance with the needs of the specific client. The business in Bulgaria is just starting to feel the need of one of the components for information security – the management. The implementation of a security system, as simple as it might be, requires care connected with the renewal of configurations, software, supervision, etc.
The security management includes risk management, as well as management of the consumers. This means a complete control over their digital identities, roles and access, as well as over the software and its renewal.
With its products from the Tivoli family, IBM is able to offer an extremely convenient and professional solution for security management. IBM Tivoli Manager (TIM) and IBM Tivoli Access Manager (TAM) can centralize the management of the consumers from one place, no matter how many and incompatible systems are used in a company. With IBM TIM the efforts for registration of a consumer in a great number of systems can be saved and consequently, the system can be easily supported and renewed when changes come into being – when an employee is relocated or quits, when the job position is changed, etc. Consumers are being "made" from one console and from one place and their roles are being managed according to the sectors and the access systems. On the other hand, IBM TAM provides the access of these employees to the very systems in respect of passwords and specific user names. More and more companies ask themselves if with 8 – 10 or more systems it is needed to demand from their employees to have different passwords for each of them. From the security point of view, in one length of the password there should be at least 8 symbols and to be changed every second month and the other length to be 6 digits and to be changed every three months which provokes a lot of inconveniences. IBM TAM implements single – sign–on solutions and the customers are authorized only for TAM which, on its part, provides their access to the respective servers, systems or web applications.

The Valley Alliance
Important LWRP Meeting: Monday, 7 pm
The Valley Alliance urges all residents and businesspeople to attend tonight's informal meeting of the Hudson Common Council at 7 pm (Monday) at City Hall, 520 Warren Street.
On the agenda is the draft Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan (LWRP) for Hudson, which could shape the future of the City for generations to come.
Planners from BFJ and the City Attorney are expected to make a presentation to the Alderman about how they intend to address the outpouring of public concern about the draft plan,.
As it stands, the draft LWRP endorses and even encourages the expansion of heavy industrial uses at the Waterfront, including a 400-foot dock extension and the potential for loading and unloading hundreds of thousands of tons of gravel—right next to a public park and proposed boat launches. The Valley Alliance agrees with past rulings and guidance from the State that such uses are incompatible.
Please consider attending the meeting to observe the proceedings, and if so moved to ask questions and make comments. It would be great to see you there, and to see some fresh faces as well.
Thanks for signing our petition and for your interest in seeing a greener, more positive vision enacted for the Waterfront. For more information about the Valley Alliance and our Save the South Bay project, please explore the rest of our site using the tabs above.

£25million contract delay forces share slump and cost-cutting at Staverton-based firm
By James Young | 3rd May 2019
Shares in a Staverton-based training experts Pennant International took a plunge yesterday after it was revealed a £25million plus contract had been delayed.
In a statement to the London Stock Exchange, Pennant said that they had been "down-selected on a major programme as announced on 9 August 2018."
The estimated worth of that contract was stated as between £25 and £30 million, but the group have been informed that it has received notification of a delay.
The statement said: "The placing of the Pennant contract is now contingent on the prospective customer's single-source 'upstream' contract becoming effective, which may not happen until the second half of 2020."
The contract was initially expected to be awarded during the latter part of 2018 with "an aggressive timeline for delivery" and Pennant invested in expanding operation capacity to deliver it.
That has left the group with extra costs, which they state are around £90,000 per month and they will now "commence a cost-reduction exercise in response to this new timeframe for contract award."
The statement added: The board does not expect the potential delay in the contract award to have a material impact on market expectations for the current year and, having regard to the group's pipeline of active opportunities, remains confident about the company's prospects for the future."
On the news shares fell from 116.5p at the close of business on Wednesday to 98p at the close yesterday, a fall of 15 per cent. They have risen by nearly two pence in the first hour of trading on Friday.
Pennant provide training simulators and technical training to the defence, aerospace and safety critical industries across the UK, north America and Australia.
The recorded revenues of £21.06 million in 2018 and posted an operating profit of £3.169 million.

Boost your antioxidant levels with these drool-worthy matcha green tea cupcakes! They are as beautiful as they are delicious! You can feel good about eating these yummy sweets because matcha powder is also a natural energy booster, so you'll be sprinting to the gym after indulging! If you're not a fan of making desserts from scratch, just cheat (no one will know!) and use boxed white cake mix instead. Your green tea cupcakes will be fluffy and flavorful. Either way, these cupcakes will make your guests green with envy!
Matcha green tea powder is the secret ingredient in these delectable cupcakes!
Fluffy matcha green tea cupcakes can be made from scratch or with boxed cake mix!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place cupcake liners into cupcake pans. In a small bowl combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and continue to mix until fully incorporated. Slowly add in the dry ingredients in three batches until fully mixed, adding in the milk last.
Fill the cupcake liners ¾ full and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until a toothpick tester comes out clean. Cool the cupcakes on a wire rack.
CHEAT: You can use boxed white cake mix for this recipe as well, adding the matcha powder to the mixture.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl and electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the butter on medium until light and fluffy. Add the cream cheese and incorporate well until smooth. Add in 2 cups of powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing until well blended. Add in the vanilla, matcha powder, and remaining 2 cups of powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Frosting should be thick and smooth.
Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes and decorate with sprinkles if desired.
Matcha green tea powder can be found at select gourmet grocery stores and at most Asian markets.


Dear mambers of the Forum, In last year I had expirience in alteration ready-to-wear suit by KITON. I mean, this article will be interesting for many peaple. If moderators let offer here a link on my site, becouse all photographies are have copright and for me inconvenient publish theirs here.
Altering a Kiton is a pain in the arse.
I know because I had to take in a coat at the shoulders and side seams (including vents). Light weight fabric and terrible sleeves make this very hard.
Onse I dived in sea in my suit, just joking with friends ( веселились с ребятами). So suit became kiton. Remarcable natural tech! LOL!
Edited by Brave Tailor, 20 March 2013 - 12:36 PM.
Just wondering since the coat fits the dummy nicely- how does it fit the customer? The body of the dummy can be very different than who is going ot wear the coat. And dummies are not all the same either, so on other dummies a misfit. It looks nice on that dummy which doesn't mean anything. How does it look on the person to wear it? That's what matters.
The way how it fits the customer is indeed imo the most important thing, so that is way I alter the dummy according the body of the client. So the dummy is the body of the customer.

For the month of December, Carmel had a bit of an off month compared to last year. The number of homes sold and the average sales price were down for the month with the average sales price off by 12% over last year. However, it appears to be a bit of an anomaly as the average sales price dipped to $281,000 for December 2011 which is out of the norm and I would expect affected by a series of low sales. When you look at the year end data, the picture actually improves quite a bit with the number of Carmel Indiana homes selling up 10% over last year and the average sales price for all Carmel Indiana real estate down only 2%.
In 2011, only 7% of all sold activity in Carmel was a result of "distressed" properties. This is a very important fact because elsewhere distressed homes have a huge impact in dragging down home values. That in combination with the fact that Carmel only has a 5.44 absorption rate, or number of month's supply of homes, leads me to be relatively optimistic about 2012 for the Carmel Indiana real estate market.

A primary task for SESERV project is to coordinate the economic dimension of Future Internet technologies, which are studied and developed by a broad set of FP7 research projects. The Annual report on studying the economic aspects of Future Internet technologies describes the coordination actions and results that have been undertaken and achieved within the first year of the project.
By following the technologies proposed by 16 european research projects we identified seven common themes of stakeholder interactions (that we call tussles) affected by those technologies.
Controlling access to sensitive data.
Tussle among ISPs for controlling traffic being part of a DDoS attack near its source, using a flow management scheme across ISPs.
Tussle among ISPs for controlling traffic being part of a DDoS attack near its source, using a reputation system for senders.
a) Tussle among ISPs for controlling traffic part of a DDoS attack near its source using network level mechanisms.
b) Threat to the ecosystem by issuing many fake requests to service directories.
Tussle for controlling information announced to other ISPs, e.g., about network topology, and preventing attacks by aggregating sensitive information.
Tussle among ISPs controlling interconnection agreements that support QoS-enabled inter-provider services, by allowing many configuration options and pricing.
Tussle among Edge ISPs, Transit ISPs and CDNs for achieving favourable interconnection agreements, assuming that content can be cached inside the network.
a) Tussle amongst an Edge and a Transit ISP for becoming peers by using MPTCP to make such an agreement more attractive to the transit ISP.
b) Tussle for assessment of different pricing schemes on ISPs' cost and revenue structure.
Tussle among Edge ISPs, Transit ISPs and Brokers for achieving favourable interconnection agreements, assuming that content can be cached inside the network.
Tussle among users who may increase the power level on their devices, and thus consume more resources of the shared wireless spectrum, in order to reach a distant user.
Tussle for fair bandwidth share of an Internet connection among roaming and non-roaming users.
Tussle between users who download a file for upstream capacity of that file's seeders.
Tussle for fair bandwidth share on a common link between a set of multicast users and a unicast user.
Tussle between customers of a cloud provider on the bandwidth of the latter's connection to the Internet.
Tussle for fair bandwidth share on a common link between interactive users and users of peer-to-peer applications.
Tussle between roaming users for upstream capacity of relay nodes.
Tussle between experimenters (End-users) for a Cloud Operator's resources.
Tussle among Edge ISPs and Transit ISPs for under-dimensioned backup paths (thus lower cost) due to absence of inter-ISP SLA monitoring mechanisms.
Tussle between two Cloud providers where tasks unable to be served by one of them receive low priority by the other in order for the latter to be prepared for sudden workload peaks.
Tussle between an upstream and a downstream ISPs where the latter devotes lower effort in packet forwarding due to absence of inter-ISP SLA monitoring mechanisms.
Tussle between Edge ISP and Content Owner in case the former caches content items to reducing inter-domain traffic.
a) Tussle between an ISP and a Content Owner where the former caches illegally distributed content items for reducing its transit costs.
b) Tussle between an ASP who has deployed the SmoothIT mechanisms and an ISP, who in absence of an end-to-end SLA monitoring mechanism, has no incentive to provide effort enough to improve the QoE of the former's customers.
Tussle between an ISP and a Consumer where the latter shares/rents its Internet connection with/to other users.
A tussle exists between a source user and the relaying users in case the data did not reach the destination, which may be due to a legitimate reason or a relaying user who free-rides.
a) A tussle arises between an End-user (or a Community Infrastructure Provider) relaying traffic of another End-User and a Community Operator (a type of broker), if the former one does not follow the policies established by the latter, e.g. traffic prioritization.
b) A Network Operator and a Content Owner and a CDN provider, if the last one does not offer the agreed content/service, or when the Network Operator/Network Infrastructure Provider in purpose degrade the performance of the CDN service in order to other traffic.
Tussle between a Cloud Operator (called Testbed provider) and End-Users (called Experimenters) in case the latter violate the terms of service when running an experiment.
Tussle among ISPs for composing efficient end-to-end, QoS-aware paths (so that the maximum number of requests can be fulfilled) even if this strategy is in contrast to an ISP's short-term benefit.
Tussle between an ISP and a (routing) Broker, where the former gives inaccurate or partial information in order to influence the routing path or fearing that such sensitive information will be used for espionage.
a) Tussle among an ISP and a (service delivery) Broker, where the latter's routing decisions (content/service source selected) can increase the former's transit costs.
b) Tussle between an ISP and a (service delivery) Broker, where the former gives inaccurate or partial information in order to influence the selected cache or fearing that such sensitive information will be used for espionage.
Tussle among an Edge ISP and an ASP, where the latter's routing decisions (seeders/leechers selected) can increase the former's transit costs or cancel-out its traffic engineering effort.
Tussle among two ISPs who send biased advertisements in order to favour the crossing of some domains/ISPs even though other paths could be more appropriate.
A tussle exists between a source user and each relaying user since the latter have complete control over the rest path of the data.
Tussle between a Broker and Experimenters when the former's "routing" decision (regarding the Cloud Operator an experiment will be run) is in conflict with the user's ability to repeat an experiment (for achieving the same conditions and allowing the results to be compared).
Tussle between a Broker and Cloud Operators for controlling how End-User requests are "routed" to Cloud Operators.
Tussle between a Broker and End-Users when the former's "routing" decision (regarding the Cloud Operator an experiment will be run) is in conflict with the user's interests (such as eco-efficiency, risk and trustworthiness).
Tussle between Information Providers and an ISP for deteriorating QoE that customers of the former get by using middleboxes.
a) Tussle between subscribers (, publishers) and service discovery brokers due to the ability of the latter to filter/screen user requests for content/services.
b) Tussle between publishers (,subscribers) and service discovery brokers due to the ability of the latter to filter/screen announcements for content/services filters/screens for content/services.
c) Tussle between publishers (a legitimate and a fraudulent one) for performing 'phising' through cache-poisoning.
a) Tussle between subscribers (,publishers) and service discovery brokers due to the ability of the latter to filter/screen user requests for content/services.
a) Tussle between Information Providers (a legitimate and a fraudulent one) for performing 'phising' by advertising more specific BGP prefixes.
b) Tussle between Information Providers (an ASP and an ISP acting as an ASP as well) for deteriorating QoE that customers of the former ASP get by using middleboxes.
Tussle between an Information Provider, who does not buy ETICS services, and an ETICS ISP because the latter does not invest in Best-Effort Internet connectivity services so that ETICS services become more attractive.
a) Tussle between end-users and Edge ISPs in hand-over to a different cell, technology, etc.
b) Tussle between an Edge ISP and an Infrastructure Provider for traffic offloading in the latter's network.
Tussle between an End-User and its Edge ISP in case the former wants to connect to a high-quality but distant Cloud Operator, whereas the latter performs traffic shaping in order to lower transit costs and make a low-quality but local Cloud Operator more attractive.
Tussle between a Cloud Operator (termed test bed provider) and experimenters when the former's allocation of resources, even though maximises their utilisation, is in conflict with the user's desire for controlling how experiments will be run.
Tussle between a service discovery broker and Subscribers due to the former's ability to collect and capitalize this transactional data.
a) Tussle between a Content Owner (or Security Agency) and a Cloud Operator (or Information provider depending on the implementation) for having access to content stored by the latter in order to identify End-Users distributing illegal content.
b) Tussle between an ASP and a cloud provider who can keep processed data for other purposes.
Tussle for controlling information announced to other ISPs, e.g., about network topology, and preventing customer stealing by aggregating sensitive information.
Tussle between the source user and a relaying user because the latter is capable of copying the transferred data, and using it for a different purpose.
Tussle between a malice user and a Content Owner where the former illegally capitalize the information stored in the caches of a content-centric network.

First Trailer For Martin Scorsese's 'The Wolf Of Wall Street'
Colton Dunham	 June 17, 2013 1 Comment
Paramount Pictures has finally debuted the fantastic first trailer for The Wolf of Wall Street, the latest film by legendary Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese. The film marks the fifth collaboration between Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio. Check out the trailer below.
The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire writer Terence Winter wrote the screenplay based on Jordan Belfort's 2008 memoir. The film chronicles the rise and fall of Belfort (DiCaprio), a hard-partying and drug-addicted New York stockbroker in the 1980s who lives the party life with the millions he makes. In 1998, Belfort was indicted for security fraud and money laundering.
While the trailer leaves out the federal drama, it serves more as an introduction to Belfort's drug-hazed parties and theatrics with his Wall Street colleagues. Leave it to Scorsese to surprise, as I clearly wasn't expecting this film to look as brilliantly crazy as it does. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun but I'd expect there will be more drama that clearly hasn't been presented yet.
Scorsese has assembled a stellar cast that includes Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Jean Dujardin, Jon Favreau, Margot Robbie, Jon Bernthal, Cristin Milioti, and Rob Reiner.
The Wolf of Wall Street will be in theaters everywhere on November 15th. What do you think of the trailer?

A look at Norfolk's public arts program

We live in a great area with many impressive art institutions. The Chrysler Museum is absolutely world class. The Museum of Contemporary Art in Virginia Beach is amazing. There's also the Hermitage Museum, the Peninsula Fine Arts Center, and the list goes on. However, one of the most integral and impactful institutions for the visual arts in Hampton Roads is the City of Norfolk's Public Art Program.
The Public Art Program commissions and maintains the city's public art collection. In fact, Norfolk holds a leadership role as the only city in coastal Virginia with a true "Percent for the Arts" Public Art Program.
The value of public art can be easily framed in economic terms. From major metropolitan areas to small rural towns, research shows that the arts are an economically sound investment. They attract audiences, spur business development, support jobs, raise property values and generate government revenue.
The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that the arts and culture sector represents 3.25 percent of the nation's GDP—a larger share of the economy than tourism and agriculture. The nonprofit arts industry alone generates $135 billion in economic activity annually that supports 4.1million jobs and generates $22.3billion in government revenue.
A study commissioned by the Cultural Alliance of Hampton Roads calculated that each dollar cultural organizations spend in Hampton Roads has a multiplier effect of 2.47, and that nonprofit arts and culture organizations in Hampton Roads have a combined annual economic impact of $563,900,000. Dollars spent on the arts have been studied meticulously to test their impact on the economy and the arts appear to be an effective investment.
The economic merits of art investment are compelling, but the economic apologetics arts organizations are forced into by detractors absolutely fail to address the truly important value created by the investment in art for public spaces. Ultimately, the Norfolk Public Art collection serves to define and inspire the character of the city. Public art is an opportunity for a community to express and pass on values, history, vision, and passion. Public art is really an investment in creating tradition, a better future, fostering intelligence and communication, and ultimately promoting humanity. The unique ability for art to augment cultural wisdom and community vision far exceeds the 1% of the cost of capital improvement projects that is set-aside for the Public Art Program. A look at a few pieces from the collection will start to highlight some ways that public art serves to identify the City of Norfolk as a unique and enlightened place.
It is notable that Norfolk is home to the world's largest naval base. The sacrifices and honor of our neighbors in service is a genuine reality of our daily experiences in Norfolk. An appropriate reference to this is the Armed Forces Memorial in Town Point Park at the edge of the Elizabeth River (above). It contains bronze sculptures that are spread around like papers blown in the wind. Each bronze piece is etched with the actual text of a letter sent home by a soldier shortly before they died. There is a letter for every major conflict in United States history prior to the construction of the memorial. The poetic image of the bronze pages blown by the wind at the edge of the river is effective, but the visceral reality of the text will forever magnify your respect for military service and the humans who engage in it.
Norfolk is also a place that aspires to offer a first class education to all of its children. Education is not only about schools, but is a community value. Learning is a never-ending endeavor that takes place in the infinite teachable moments that adults and children share everyday. A wonderful stone sculpture located at the Norview Community Center on Sewell's Point Rd (below) is testament to how public art can communicate and in fact promote a community value. The freestanding stone sculpture is titled "Storyteller" and was created by artist Madeline Weiner. I travel by this piece regularly and see it functioning as a gathering place for students walking home from nearby Norview Elementary, Middle and High School. It functions as an extension of the school day and facilitates conversations and interactions that might otherwise be lost as the individual retreats home to computers and television.
Norfolk has a significant and defining issue as we witness climate change and sea level rise changing the geography around us. A trip to the Norfolk Zoo will remind visitors of the miracle and wonder of nature. The Virginia Zoo is a treasured resource within the city limits. The Public Art Program commissioned Mathew Grey Palmer to create a life sized aluminum elephant at the entrance to the zoo (below). The elephant has a butterfly that rests on its nose. It is an impressive creation and few can pass by it without taking a photograph in front of it. Closer inspection reveals that the elephant is made up of hundreds of butterflies and the butterfly is made up of elephants. The title of the piece is "All Things Within All Things" and the concept communicated by this piece is one that resonates as one travels through the Zoo. The message conveyed by the artwork reminds us to look beyond the impressive spectacle of the animals and see them as part of a greater ecology. That message also reminds us that we, as human beings with free will, have a role in that greater ecology. In a very powerful way the sculpture calls on us to reflect on our place as a vital part of all things within all things.
The Norfolk Public Art Commission is composed of community members that reflect the diversity and intelligence inherent in the populous. The selection and placement of artworks is a well-considered process that functions in a connective way to strengthen the communities involved. Public artworks are not just decorative adornments; rather, they serve to communicate about the place they inhabit. The Public Art Program actively engages local artists and the local art community with regularly announced opportunities.
There is a feedback loop that is created when artists that live within a particular city are given the opportunity to become active culture creators within that community. Giving local artists a voice helps to magnify the role of public art as an agent of "place-making." Take for instance a project by local artist Cheryl White titled "The Tide That Brings Us Home," which was installed in HRT light rail cars and stations in 2012 (below). This project featured letters between military service members and their families. The artist culled letters from local archives and personal friends then had them graphically composed and displayed for train riders to view. Cheryl White may not have been directly referencing the Armed Forces Memorial in Town Point Park. However, the notable connection is a testament to how The Public Art Program fosters a feedback loop that reiterates the character and values of our city with each new work and, by extension, every time an artwork engages a member of the community.
As a home to NATO, the Virginia International Shipping Terminals, and major rail lines Norfolk holds a position as a nexus point for international business and communications. The "Metalmatisse" by Electroland–located centrally in downtown at MacArthur Square–appropriately expresses this (top image). The monumental stainless steel form mimics the traditional still-life subject matter of a flower arrangement and is potentially metaphorical of growth and blooming. However, elements of this piece are far removed from the historical reference to Matisse. The sculpture is an automated and interactive sound and light performance. Each of the 14 "flower" forms contains a motion sensor that detects movement and responds to people within its vicinity. This piece engages people and they are compelled to move around it. It adds energy and vitality to an already active transit and pedestrian hub.
Arguably, "Metalmatisse" is a flagship piece for the Norfolk Public Art collection. Its form suggests the melding of tradition and advancement. Its brightly illuminated and high reaching structure speaks to the ambition driving Norfolk forward. It creates a dynamic color and sound environment that reflects the character of a city that seeks an innovative and enlightened future.

Q: How to answer "Do you have nothing to do?" correctly If I have nothing to do, should I say "yes" or "no"?
I'm confused because both "Yes, I do have nothing to do" and "No, I don't have anything to do" have the same meaning.

Predatory impact of the myctophid fish community on zooplankton in the Scotia Sea (Southern Ocean)
Myctophids are the most abundant mesopelagic fishes in the Southern Ocean, although their trophic role within the predominantly krill-based food web in regions south of the Antarctic Polar Front (APF) is poorly resolved. This study therefore examined the diets of 10 species of myctophid fishes: Electrona antarctica, E. carlsbergi, Gymnoscopelus braueri, G. fraseri, G. nicholsi, Krefftichthys anderssoni, Protomyctophum bolini, P. tenisoni, P. choriodon and Nannobrachium achirus, in the Scotia Sea, together with their predatory impact on the underlying zooplankton community. Myctophids and their prey were sampled in different seasons by scientific nets deployed across the Scotia Sea from the sea-ice zone to the APF. Based on the percentage index of relative importance, myctophids had high overlap in their diets, although the data indicate dietary specialisation in some species. There was also a distinct switch in diet, from copepods to euphausiids and amphipods, with increasing myctophid size. Myctophid predation impacted daily copepod production by between 0.01 and 5%, with Calanus simillimus being most impacted. Total annual consumption of copepods was around 1.5 million t (Mt) per year. All myctophids preyed upon the euphausiid Thysanoessa spp., consuming ~12% of its daily productivity and around 4 Mt per year. However, only larger myctophid species preyed upon Antarctic krill Euphausia superba, consuming 2% of its daily productivity, which could amount to as much as 17 Mt per year. Themisto gaudichaudii was also an important dietary component, with 4% of its daily productivity being consumed, amounting to around 2 Mt per year. This study demonstrates that myctophids link secondary productivity to higher predators both through krill-dependent and krill-independent trophic pathways.

We are planning a fun family party in a few weeks and wanted to have something that both adults and kids will enjoy and since our dad is a popcorn fanatic, we decided on an easy Fall Popcorn Bar to satisfy any sweet or salty tooth. 😉 Because Hayneedle has the most gorgeous fall decor right now, and because we are suckers for all things pretty, we snagged some string lights, twig pumpkin, serving bowl and the comfiest coral throw to give our bar the right fall look.
To hold the popcorn we just shaped a 12×12 piece of fall colored scrapbook paper into a cone and taped the bottom to secure it. Easy, inexpensive and cute!
We love the coral pop of color against the stain and neutral porch colors.
Oh I just love this! So cute and creative!
