It is better to have all of these handy when getting started.
Raspbian with SSH enabled. If you haven't already here's how it's done.
An internet connection; the Raspberry Pi needs to be connected to the internet at all times.
For this setup, we will be using NGINX and Ruby-Dev.
NGINX, pronounced as "engine X", is a lightweight event drive web server. It is very well known for it's static file handling capabilities.
Do this using your favourite piece of software. If you haven't got one already we recommend Putty for Windows. Macs and most Linux distributions have SSH built in.
We require Ruby-Dev for some dependencies of Octopress. Without Ruby-Dev, Octopress may face some issues during its bundle install process. In your SSH terminal enter the following command.
Now that we have Ruby and Ruby-Dev installed, we'll need to install NGINX.
GIT is required in order to fetch Octopress from its official GIT repository. Enter the following.
This will clone the official Octopress repository into your Raspberry Pi's home directory. You can choose where you wish to clone it. For instance, the following example clones it into the "octopress" folder.
Enter the following command, to set your current directory to where you've cloned the octopress repository.
Before this happens "bundle" has to be installed. Don't be intimidated. "Bundle" is a Ruby "gem" required in this process. As for what a "gem" is, it's simply the equivalent of a package in Ruby.
So, to install Bundle we'll use the following code.
Since we're focused on the octopress folder, the command simply installs the octopress bundle.
Create the web root in the folder /var/ named "www".
Set the permissions of the directory to allow all of read, write and execute to everyone. Here's how it works.
Edit the NGINX default configuration file to edit the default web directory.
The NGINX default config should look like the following snippet.
Edit the file to look like what follows.
Now that the configuration has been edited, use this command to start NGINX.
The Rakefile is in the octopress folder. Its contents should look like this.
Edit that to look like so.
Enter the following to deploy Octopress on NGINX.
Now, you have Octopress blogging framework on your Raspberry Pi. It's quick and brilliant. Here's how mine looks.

[![Octopress](https://revryl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Octopress-640x419.png)](https://revryl.com/2013/12/28/octopress-raspberry-pi/octopress/)
Pretty cool framework. I absolutely love its mobile responsiveness.

We're constantly experimenting with the Raspberry Pi. You can actually [pay a visit](http://darrylpi.dlinkddns.com/) to the site and hopefully be able to experience it or whatever we're doing at the moment. We hope our ISP doesn't screw with us.
So, tell us about your experiences if you've tried Octopress. It certainly is a good Raspberry Pi project if anything.


There are situations where you find yourself unsure of what to do. No one is there to ask and no guide of any sort seems to be available. Our lives are filled with these types of situations, where on a moment's notice, we have to make a choice. I have found through many trials of my own that your gut instinct is usually right. It's like you know something you aren't exactly conscious of. And every time I have second guessed myself without proper reason I've come to regret it. So, in way it's a sign that we need to learn to trust ourselves.


Lauren Staveley is taking on the world, and she is doing a fine job at it too! This young Australian girl is one to watch, at only 18 years old she is setting herself up to achieve Olympic dreams.
Lauren is backed with numerous Australian and USASA junior titles and is now competing on the World Cup circuit. She started snowboarding at the age of nine and just has not stopped. Now that is a lot of time on snow! Some may say that is lucky, but I know better. Lauren has put in hours and hours of hard work and battled her way through a few injuries too, as well as completing high school at the same time! This girl is just full of awesome!
Since I contacted you about this interview I hear you have broken your foot! What happened!?
I was competing in a World Cup in the Czech Republic. My practice days went well and I was super excited for the contest. However on contest day during practice I took the jump a little too big and landed heavy on my right foot. It was pretty painful, but I was determined to compete. I landed my first run, but couldn't put down the second run. I went to the medical centre the next day and turns out I had broken my 5th metatarsal! But it will be healed after 4 weeks in a cast and I'll be back at it again.
What does that mean for the rest of your North American season?
I unfortunately can't compete in the last World Cup in Spain and I miss out on the US nationals. I am hoping to come back over to the US in May/June to get some more training in.
Even with the broken foot things are looking good for you to be qualifying Australia a spot in slopestyle for the Olympics. How does it make you feel, knowing that there is a strong possibility you could be representing Australia at the Olympics!?
It's pretty unbelievable at the moment. It doesn't really feel real. I am just planning on keeping my results consistent and qualify my spot. It's pretty exciting and I can't wait to find out if I'm going to the games!
You have done a whole lot of traveling with snowboarding, Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, Canada (did I miss any!?) and of course New Zealand, if you could give out 2 pieces of best snowboard travel advice, what would they be?
Haha! Well, I have also been to Japan. Where I learnt a vital travel tip, practice your hand gestures! Some snowboarding destinations don't speak much English so pointing and waving comes in handy.
And number two is make sure all your bags have wheels! Never ever travel with a bag you have to carry.
Oh, I so agree about the wheels! Hey also can I check, will we be seeing you on the slopes in Wanaka this winter?
I will definitely be in Wanaka this year! We are hoping to get a few weeks training over in NZ leading up to the NZ Winter Games.
Perfect, I am looking forward to the NZ Winter Games, they are going to be awesome! Finally one last questions, if you could ride a chair lift when anyone you choose, who would it be, why, and what would you ask him or her?
I would ride a chairlift with Bethany Hamilton. She is a professional Surfer who lost her left arm in a shark attack when she was 13. I find this story so inspirational and I'd love to ask her about her journey back to surfing after the attack.
Aw, nice choice! I am sure you have seen the movie Soul Surfer – a very inspirational movie about Bethany Hamilton.
Thanks for your time Lauren, the crew at NZ Snow Tours wishes you a speedy metatarsal recovery and safe travels back home to Australia for some good R&R. We will catch you on the slopes in Wanaka!


2. Why would you do this to me!?
3. OMG! It's weeeeedding time!
5. Hahahaha…that's a good one!
6. I'm so happy for you…no…really…I am. These are just tears of happiness.
7. Oh boy…I need a drink.
8. THIS IS THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!!
9. This is all because of me. You're welcome.

Thus he says, Y'hovah, to one being anointed of him: 'To Khoresh, whom I made strong by right of him, to subdue before presences of him, nations, and loins of ones reigning I will open, to open before presences of him doors, and gates not they will be shut up.
I, before presences of you, I will go, and the ones being swollen I will make right, doors of bronze I will break, and bars of iron I will cut down.
for sake of servant of me, Ya'aqov, and Yis'ra'el, being chosen of me, and I called to you by name of you, I titled you and not you knew me.
I, Y'hovah, and being no more except me, being no Elohim, I gird you and not you know me.
Trickle, heavens, from above, and clouds let them flow rightousness. Let her open, earth, and let her bear fruit of being made free, and righteousness let her sprout together, I Y'hovah, I created him.
Thus he says, Y'hovah, one being holy of Yis'ra'el, and one forming him: 'The ones coming ask me over sons of me, and over being worked of hands of me you charge me.
I, I made earth and man on her I created; I, hands of me, they stretched out heavens and all of going forth of them I charged.
I, I will make stir him in righteousness, and all of ones being trod of him I will make right, he, he will build city of me and exile of me he will let go, not with price and not with bribe, he says, Y'hovah of ones being amassed.
Surely you El, one hiding, Elohim of Yis'ra'el, one making free.
They will be ashamed and also they will be humiliated, all of them together, craftsmen of idols.
Yis'ra'el he will be set free by Y'hovah, being made free of everlastings, not you will be ashamed and not you will be humiliated to everlastings of ever.
Indeed thus he says, Y'hovah: One creating the heavens, he the Elohim, one forming the earth and one making her, he prepared her, not being waste he created her, to sit he formed her, I Y'hovah and being no more.
Assemble and come in, come near together, ones escaping of the nations; not they know, the ones lifting wood of ones being carved of them, and ones praying to el not he will make free.
Make known and make approach, indeed let them counsel together. Who he made hear this from antiquity, from then he made known her? Not I Y'hovah? And being no more elohim from ones apart of me, El of righteousness and one making free, being not except me.
Look to me and be set free, all of ends of earth, for I El and being no more.
By me I swore, he went out from mouth of me being righteous, being spoken, and not he will come back; indeed to me she will kneel every of knee, she will swear every of tongue.
Only in Y'hovah of me he will say: 'Ones being righteous and strength ones to him.' He will come in and they will be ashamed, all of the ones being kindled at him.
In Y'hovah they will be justified and they will glory all of seed of Yis'ra'el.

Home Lifestyle Commercial Design Light and Tech: Restaurant Lighting Schemes
Light and Tech: Restaurant Lighting Schemes
Lighting expert Jill Entwistle looks at four restaurant lighting schemes that have been shortlisted for the latest Lighting Design Awards
Tech Spec: The Secret Ingredient
All you need to know about the latest in lighting with the expert
There are few places where mood and atmosphere are more essential than in a restaurant, and few spaces where lighting is so indispensable an ingredient in creating the right ambience. Necessarily the lighting approaches and techniques are as diverse as the design themes but nevertheless obey the same basic principles beyond the functional: to create a sense of occasion and an appropriate emotional and sensual experience, to flatter the appearance of diners, and to respond to the time of day when diners are present. The following examples have all been shortlisted for this year's Lighting Design Awards and reflect the extraordinarily disparate ways that lighting can contribute to the feeling and flavour of a restaurant – from highly technical projection mapping to the simplicity of a source seamlessly integrated into the interior structure.
A cloud of white balloons further mute soft diffuse lighting at the Aranya Kids' Restaurant, in Qinhuangdo, China. Lighting design is by Gradient.
Normal restaurant, Kiev, Ukraine
Lighting Design: Expolight
Normal is located in a key business area of Kiev, attracting both a business lunch crowd but also a healthy after-hours clientele when it becomes a bar and then later a nightclub. Dominating the interior are the graffiti portraits on the walls. Nine times out of 10 these would have been simply and effectively highlighted by the lighting, but Expolight has taken the process a stage further by using projection mapping. 'Augmented reality is getting deeper and broader in our lives, so we introduced it into the interior of Normal – painted graffiti on the walls is complemented by digital patterns, created using 3D-mapping technology,' says Expolight.
The brief was to be able to radically adjust the atmosphere according to the time of day or night. This is primarily achieved by use of colour. The daytime scene is static and uses neutral tones; in the evening, when the venue is in bar mode, a dynamic element is introduced together with a more active use of colour. As it moves into nightclub mode, more red is introduced. The graffiti, which is painted on two perpendicular walls, is brought to life with the mapping to become an even more arresting focal point. There are more than 30 variations of projections that change according to the preprogrammed sequence, complementing the preset lighting scenes.
Specially made structures that cover the back part of the wall are formed from individually made mushroom-like lighting devices. Each of these devices is a separately controlled pixel, which enables different dynamic lighting patterns. The backlight of the bar counter is also capable of dynamic, colour-changing light. All the lighting is controlled by a complex, specially designed system that creates a new colour scene every day and for each hour.
Aranya Kids' Restaurant, Qinhuangdo, Hebei Province, China
Lighting Design: Gradient
Lighting Design Architect: Wutopia Lab
Aranya, a coastal residential development north east of Tianjin, includes a clubhouse, a 1,000 sq m part of which has been turned into a children's restaurant.
Starting with the exterior appearance, the decision was taken with the architect to use polycarbonate panels to wrap the original building, 'a mixture of prairie-villa and contemporary art deco styles', creating a new translucent facade. By gently washing the panels with light, the facade turns into a gently glowing structure at night. 'This also brightens up the whole area and improves safety in the neighbourhood without being overlit,' says Gradient.
Sitting on top of the roof and reached by an exterior yellow staircase is a red house-like structure built with double-perforated aluminium panels. Internally illuminated, it acts as a beacon for the surrounding area.
Inside, light elements are used to fascinate and entertain, playing with sensory effects. Entering directly from the yellow staircase, visitors encounter a bubble tree on the second floor, where luminous spheres form the 'fruits' on a tree structure, partly exposed to the exterior and partly reflected in a mirrored ceiling.
In the predominantly white dining area, a large circular backlit element on the ceiling provides a soft diffuse light, further muted through a cloud of white balloons beneath. The circular dining hall and two private dining rooms are surrounded by polycarbonate panels. The circular shape, diffuse lighting and white tones are designed to pleasantly disorientate its occupants, 'making them lose their sense of texture, scale and direction'.
The ground floor features a fibre-optic starry sky beneath which is a children's playground with PVC hollow balls, glass-fibre cloth, marine plastic balls, artificial stone and floor glue. Mirrored material borders the space, 'to distort the realism of the place, as if time is not passing'. Rechargeable white light balls are softly lit, so they can be safely played with. 'We hope to create a place that loses material texture and spatial orientation,' says Gradient.
Portsoken Pavilion, Aldgate, London
Lighting Design: Aecom
Architect: Make Architects
Sitting within the newly created Aldgate Square (part of the City of London Corporation's Aldgate highway changes and public realm improvements project) is the Portsoken Pavilion. The pavilion provides a social enterprise cafe and space for events.
Formed by an asymmetrical steel structure with sliding glass walls set between three triangular support points, the pavilion's walls can be opened up to connect with the surrounding redeveloped garden. This gives it the potential to host meetings, exhibitions and activities such as yoga classes, as well as serving as a gathering place for the local community and the city at large.
Within the structure, the bands of the cladding are mimicked by the soffit with layered, geometric, white-laminate timber panels. These have punched slots to help the acoustics and, when uplit by ceiling-concealed continuous LED strips, provide a glowing effect to the whole building at night.
The ambient illumination and lit effect rely purely on indirect light. 'The high output and efficacy of the light fittings are key to providing sufficient ambient light to the space with indirect lighting only where the reflected surfaces are limited due to the acoustic perforation,' says Aecom.
The lighting is fully integrated, responding to the form, geometry and material nature of the cladding. 'The ethereality of the structure is accentuated at dusk by the concealed lighting,' adds Aecom. 'The LED strips wash the feature perforated ceiling with soft light, creating a delicate stepped glowing layer.'
Two large asymmetrical rooflights are located over the central counter to draw natural light into the building. Mini spotlights are placed at the perimeter of the rooflights to create a supplementary focal glow on the counter so that daylight and artificial light are completely blended. 'As daylight fades, the effect of the interaction between faceted geometry and uplighting element becomes more pronounced, giving the sensation that the entire volume is floating,' says Aecom. The internal light spill also subtly reveals the shape and form of the entrance overhang, gradually transiting into the well-illuminated and inviting interior, attracting the attention of passers-by. The various lighting elements are divided into groups so that they can be individually controlled to offer different lighting scenes.
NAM Vietnamese restaurant, Kiev, Ukraine
Climbing plants, rattan and fishing motifs form the vernacular interior theme of Vietnamese restaurant NAM. Different colour scales, brightness and light intensity create a range of scenes according to time of day, with a particularly dramatic, high contrast approach for the night-time setting.
Although an entirely different proposition to Expolight's Normal restaurant (see previous page), the lighting designer has taken a similar approach in keeping the daytime mode neutral, warming the colour/colour temperature in the evening, and at night introducing more red. Spotlighting individual tables is a time-honoured and highly effective technique but particularly appropriate for the Vietnamese tradition where great attention is paid to the serving of dishes. Narrow-beam accent lighting above the centre of the tables forms a light spot three times brighter than the background lighting. The special light fittings were designed in the form of Vietnamese fishing cells. Bi-directional, white light shines down, while a warmer source shines upwards, turning red by evening to create a sensual atmosphere. They also create a textural effect: as they move, the shadows of the rattan nets play on the ceiling. The painted panels on the walls are illuminated by RGB and white spotlights, in constant motion and changing colours. 'Due to this, the paintings come to life, revealing their depth and dynamism,' says Expolight.
Jill Entwistle: Editor, writer and author, Jill is the executive editor of Lighting (Illumination in Architecture) and the author of three books on lighting, including Detail in Contemporary Lighting Design (Laurence King)

Lise Noblet (née Marie-Élisabeth Noblet à Paris le  et morte à Neuilly-sur-Seine le ) est une danseuse française.

Biographie
Issue d'une famille d'artisans dont plusieurs enfants montèrent sur les planches, elle eut pour sœurs la ballerine Félicité Noblet (1807-1877) qui épousa le ténor Alexis Dupont (en) et fut connue sous le nom de scène Madame Alexis, et la comédienne Alexandrine Noblet.

Elle débuta au Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris en 1819 dans un pas de deux avec Albert, puis dansa les principaux rôles des ballets de Pierre Gardel.

De 1821 à 1824, elle donna plusieurs représentations au King's Theatre de Londres. L'arrivée de Marie Taglioni à l'Opéra de Paris en 1827 la relègua au second plan, ne lui laissant comme rôle-titre que celui de Fenella dans La Muette de Portici en 1828.

Elle fut aussi la rivale de Fanny Elssler dans les danses espagnoles et quitta l'Opéra en 1841 à la mort de son fidèle compagnon, le général Claparède.

Just four weeks after announcing a long-term set of initiatives to push for more diversity and inclusion, Gucci is implementing a new scholarship and fund that will double down on that commitment.
The Gucci Changemakers is a multi-year $5 million fund, as well as a $1.5 million scholarship program. Initially Changermakers was a global employee-volunteering initiative that worked in conjunction with Gucci's commitment to social impact in our communities and within the fashion industry — and now it has expanded to include the fund and scholarship.
Gucci found itself in the hot seat late January after a sweater that allegedly resembled Blackface was being offered for purchase on the brand's website. Social media erupted and Gucci immediately apologized for the misstep. Furthermore, executives from the the Italian fashion house quickly assembled in New York City to meet with Gucci collaborator and legendary fashion designer Dapper Dan and a host of other fashion insiders to brainstorm ways for the company to become more inclusive and lead the charge when it comes to diversity throughout the industry.
While comments below Dapper Dan's post has been mixed — from naysayers who don't believe that Gucci deserves the Black community's support, to those who are highly impressed by the brand's swift action plan — it's clear that a very important conversation has started. And more importantly initiatives and people have been put in place to rectify wrongs.

While a solo practitioner may not necessarily be an introvert, having your practice certainly comes with its fair share of lonely nights. According to Beth Buelow, introverts can be ideally suited to a career in law, due their preference for solitary research and writing so it should come as no surprise that many solo practitioners identify themselves this way.
Whether or not you consider yourself an introvert, the alone time necessary to be a solo practitioner can make meeting people, boosting your contact list, and general networking a bit more intimidating. Luckily, you are not alone. Experts on introverts, entrepreneurship, and networking have weighed in many times on the best paths to painless networking. These tips can help anyone meet the right people without sounding or feeling phony or uncomfortable.
One thing that can help turn an uncomfortable networking situation into a productive one is preparation. And this doesn't just mean making a mental note of the nearest exit. If you are attending a large networking event or conference, make an effort to find out who will be there ahead of time and scheduled time to meet with them, if possible. This will give you incentive to actually show up and peace of mind that you won't be standing around alone, staring at your smartphone.
One of the most exhausting things about trying to make business contacts is feeling like you have to be "on" at all times. The good news is, that's not the only way to network. In fact, it will serve your practice much better if you make an effort to make a friend before you make a sale. Get the dollar signs out of your eyes and approach networking as a chance to meet new people with whom you share common interests. The result will be more genuine conversation and stronger relationships. From these personal connections, business connections will come naturally.
Perhaps the most important advice for a reluctant networker is to listen to yourself. While it is important to make the time to meet people and develop your business, you don't have to attend every event. And when you do attend, don't beat yourself up if you decide to arrive a little late or slip our a little early. Not everyone thrives in the networking environment and while stepping out your comfort zone can be helpful, setting up camp there is going to hurt you in the long run.
Whether you're an introvert at heart or just someone whose networking skills are a little rusty, practicing your networking skills can have huge rewards. When you are comfortable meeting new people and building relationships in a business environment, you will quickly see your practice begin to thrive.


To construct his startling and surreal landscape at the Festival de Jardins in the Loire Valley of France, Los Angeles designer Andy Cao imported 10 tons of recycled glass from his hometown, seven miles of rope from Manila and eight huge blown-glass spheres from Brooklyn. The rope ended up at the wrong port, and three of the spheres broke. Labor problems forced him to work long days with student volunteers, and even then they barely finished in time for the grand opening. His initial plans submitted to this competition sat for weeks in customs. And a few days before his flight home, his pocket was picked on a train to Belgium.
But, hey, he's happy. The garden designer and glass artist had a great spring break in Europe. When he stepped off United flight 937 from Paris two weeks ago, he was the conquering hero returning home to Los Angeles, a wad of triumphs in his back pocket. Dressed in jeans and a black Armani shirt, the slender, 35-year-old landscape designer may have looked more tired than triumphant, but his installation at the French festival was the only American design at the prestigious summer-long event.
Held at Chaumont-sur-Loire, about 114 miles southwest of Paris, the festival is known for its innovative, sometimes jarring designs. The event director, Jean-Paul Pigeat, said that when the annual festival debuted 10 years ago, visitors expected traditional gardens and were often angry at the avant-garde designs they found. Now that's precisely what they come to see.
There are 30 individual "gardens" at the festival, each housed inside a tulip-shaped plot, separated by yards of greenery. They were chosen from 1,000 initial applicants, which were narrowed down to 300 and then only 30.
Cao's sparkly garden became a favorite of French TV and of visiting schoolchildren. "You should see their eyes light up when they spot the glass marbles," said Cao. They liked the glass so much that too much was disappearing into little pockets, so the event organizers blocked off the path into the garden. Now visitors can only peer at the garden, not walk though it.
The garden attracted the attention of Cristallerie du Val Saint-Lanbert, one of Belgium's premier makers of fine crystal, who had heard of Cao's recycled-glass garden at Chaumont and wondered if he might make one at their chateau in Liege, using crystal instead. That's why he was on the train to Belgium days before flying home.
Soon he will begin a yearlong fellowship in landscape architecture at the American Academy in Rome, where Andrew Than-Son Cao was awarded a Rome Prize that allows advanced or creative study in a variety of fields.
He has designed glass gardens for inside the Mandalay Bay casino in Las Vegas, as centerpieces on tables at Spago, around the Chateau Marmont hotel on Sunset Boulevard and in a number of backyards. Andre Balazs, owner of the Marmont, "was impressed with how [Cao] used the reflective qualities of glass" to brighten "darker, tighter outdoor spaces."
Not bad for someone who "barely survived" the landscape architecture program at Cal Poly Pomona.
He, his mother and five siblings had left Vietnam in 1979, casting off into the Pacific in a rickety craft with other boat people. They eventually joined two older brothers who had left earlier and settled in Houston, which is where Cao started his architecture training.
He later moved to California and changed his major to landscape architecture at Cal Poly, "where I was one of the worst students," he said. He did better in the art classes he was taking concurrently at Orange Coast College.
Cao had little interest in planning lawns and hedges--he wanted to make dramatically different gardens that would verge on being environmental art. He had been thinking about a garden that would be a map-like representation of his native Vietnam. While trying to figure out how to represent the piles of drying salt typically seen along the Vietnamese coast, he came up with the idea of using crushed white glass. He had seen glass used as a sculptural material in museum installations.
The glass made convincing salt piles, and he soon found other ways of using glass in his landscape. He made cobalt-blue glass seas, yellow and green glass hills and plastered crushed glass on walls to represent sky. He even made glass steppingstones. He became mesmerized by "the sparkle of glass in gardens." The Times first showed his innovative Echo Park garden in 1989. Public television's Huell Howser would later visit and so would House and Garden magazine. Howser even ended up using glass in the garden of his Palm Springs residence. Other garden designers apparently took note because glass is appearing in limited ways in other gardens.
All of the glass in Cao's own garden was recycled. Working with a large recycling company, Cao carefully sorted the glass into colors, broke it and tumbled the pieces so they ended up as reasonably smooth little pebbles that could actually be walked on barefoot. They're just like the smooth little pieces found at the beach that have been tumbled by the surf.
He and partner Stephen Jerrom have turned the Glass Garden into a small business. Their studio next to the old Chapman Market on 6th Street in Los Angeles is filled with experimental recycled-glass products for the garden. Glass is everywhere, which makes it look like an accident has just been cleared from the studio. There are rows and rows of pebbles in every conceivable color. There are the glass marbles that are used as a mulch, steppingstones and glass tiles.
Jerrom, Cao's biggest booster, sees himself as the businessman and implementer. He is the one setting up the "hot shop," where they can melt and play with glass. It is he who is packaging the glass mulches and marbles that they someday hope to sell though Target stores, just as Michael Graves does his architectural designs.
This leaves Cao free to design. At Chaumont-sur-Loire, under groves of bamboo, Cao spread a sparkling mulch of his glass marbles. The paths are made of cobalt-blue glass pebbles. There is an island of white glass, punctuated with little pockets planted with round cacti. Sandblasted glass spheres, also planted with succulents, sit snugly in tall coils of shaggy rope. More rope makes a fence that encircles the garden, and the fence too is planted with succulents, this time in neat stitch-like vertical rows. "It's real surreal," said the soft-spoken Cao, understating the obvious.
"But it is a garden," he quickly added. Cao compares it to a contemplative Zen garden, meant to be looked at, not gardened in. The arrangement of the glass spheres inside the rectangular pool was inspired by the arrangement of rocks in the rectangular courtyard at Ryoan-ji in Kyoto, one of the most famous Zen gardens. The spheres, each a little too big to get your arms around, were blown by a friend, Chris Lyndon. He and Cao met while studying glass at Pilchuck Glass School north of Seattle. They made eight spheres, hoping five would survive. Holes were drilled for the succulents, and two were lost in the process. A third simply rolled away when no one was looking, and Cao can still hear the resulting crash.
It cost Cao $6,000 to make the spheres or "bubbles" as he calls them and $3,500 just to ship them to Chaumont. The whole installation cost about $25,000, with the festival organizers picking up $10,000 of the tab.
The organizers of the festival told Cao he "could do anything," and the resulting landscape is "a fusion of global culture," of Japanese design and American cacti such as Mammillaria and Astophytum , with tribal African and Vietnamese influences. But how did he come up with it? "I just got this image in my head," he said. "I like things that float."
The coiled rope reminded him of African neck ornaments, and when combined with the spheres, they resembled traditional Vietnamese water puppets (puppets that are held just above water by underwater performers). He calls the installation "Desert Sea," the cobalt glass being the sea and the many succulent plants being the desert.
He's working on his next project, a garden for the first U.S. residence designed by British minimalist architect John Pawson. The house in Sherman Oaks stands on hefty legs above a hillside, and Cao is planting a forest of bamboo under it, which the house will seem to float on, much like the combatants in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." A hill-holding ground cover will grow under the bamboo, but glass will undoubtedly find some place in this garden too.

Obvious pun? Flour power
A subject I now consider a friend once described the block of Grand Street between Essex and Norfolk on the Lower East Side as a sort of row of rounds: His pizza school sits between the Kossar's bialys shop and the Doughnut Plant. All three are vaut le voyage, although it's easier to indulge at the latter two on a quick swing by as we did after an outstanding lunch the other Sunday in Chinatown, at Wu's Wonton King. Learning to make pizza using supermarket ingredients and a home oven eats up a few hours. Picking up bagels and/or bialys and devouring doughnuts takes minutes.
The doughnuts are as good as they've ever been the last 20+ years, although I wish I'd had stomach room to try the newish savory "dough pods" with samosa-like fillings. But the revelation was the improvement in Kossar's baked stuff since new owners took over the 81-year-old bakery a while back. The bialys seem lighter and livelier, less molar-challenging and dull, and the bagels are now superb even if they are about the width of a 45 rpm. Black Seed's still rank as the best I've found. But I wouldn't kick Kossar's out of the toaster.
No kitchen . . .
. . . should be without these dish towels. They're excellent for drying wineglasses, and Allah knows we're gonna go through those the next four years (if we survive).
Wait long enough . . .
… and the price comes down. This is still scarily expensive in a Colavita world but is now more approachable in the mid-$20 range.
Quid-n-quo
A good rule for cookies is the longer it takes to finish them, the better they are. I learned this early on in the consortium, when we would go through a box of Entenmann's chocolate chip in an evening while a tinful from the in-law equivalent would last days. When your brain's engaged, you tend to savor, not scarf.
All that's by way of saying Paul and Pippa's "biscuits" from Barcelona are definitely worth what seems an extortionate $7+. I got four canisters from an unusually savvy PR person when I missed a media event and she had the goodie bag delivered, so the price was right. But after the first thin, shatteringly crisp wafer, I could honestly answer WIBTM? with a "yes, as a gift." The label copy is a bit too saccharine, but the flavors are outstanding — we certainly took our sweet/salty time with the lime, the cocoa and the coconut. (I gave away the apple-cinnamon before realizing what I'd been gifted.)
And just to be clear I don't rave about every "free is a very good price" edible: The chocolate bars included in that goodie bag turned out to be fit only for baking. As thanks, I'll withhold the producer's name.
Eating your young
My childhood memories are more and more devoted to blocking out my dad's "I'll give you something to cry about," so I guess it's not surprising I really cannot recall eating zucchini before moving east (our "fresh" vegetables, aside from driveway-side wild asparagus and water-meter watercress, did tend to come from cans). But the older I get the more I wonder how we could have had squash blossoms and no squash. Guess those were pumpkin, but even that makes no sense without Libby on the garden label.
All this is by way of saying I kinda know my way around squash blossoms. And the ones Gajeski Farms is bringing to NYC Greenmarkets this summer are blowaway. You really taste zucchini through and through even though you're eating fetal Cucurbita.
I rinse them, dry them well, then dip them in a batter of chickpea flour thinned with water and seasoned with salt and Aleppo pepper, then shallow-fry them in peanut or olive oil until they get just enough crusty crust. A little more salt and you'll be thinking even Duggar fans would agree "nipped in the bud" is a pretty good thing.
Also, too: I stopped by the José Andrés booth at the food show right before closing time to try some of his superb canned seafood and had a box of "rustic Catalan toasts" pressed upon me. They may be the best base for duck rillettes or cheese I've ever tried. Have no idea what they cost, but they're worth it. Whoever wrote the copy on the box deserves a gold medal, too. "Baked only in traditional firebrick ovens"? "Fits in your palm"? Even McSweeney's could not have done it better.
Orts and ends
Ted Blew's popcorn blows Orville's out of the pot. It's fresher and cheaper, too ($5.50 for a full two pounds versus $5.29 for 30 chintzed ounces). At Union Square Wednesdays and Fridays.
Mesclun from Satur Farms sustained us through the end of winter when Windfall was charging $48 a pound: It's local and budget-sustainable, not to mention truly great. The mix is superb, and the red leaves never turn to slime like so many from the Greenmarket and from those collective bacteria boxes in all the stores. A 5-ounce pack is $4.29 at Barzini's on Broadway, a deal good enough to make me brave a hellhole where the staff makes Fairway's customers look polite.
Almondine's baguette really is as great as the glossy promised. My consort has brought a couple home from Dumbo recently, and not only are the texture and flavor outstanding but the uneaten ends hold up till the next morning. (Our "pain" bag bought in Provence to keep bread fresh as it does there lives up only to the English meaning of the word.) I think it's $2.50. (Do actual reporting? Me?)
And I only tasted a little at Gouge Liquors down at the corner, but Starr rum out of Africa (Mauritius, to be specific) is pretty good for the white stuff, smooth and complex. Not sure it benefits from the packaging, a red bottle shaped like the Pyramids. Don't go to the website, either: Cocktail recipes include something called Adult Film Starr, and Soderbergh is not involved, only cucumber. (Insert your own "two girls and . . ." joke here.)
Like no other largesse
The hardest question I ever get, constantly, is "Who's a good caterer, not too expensive?" How the hell would I know? I cook just about everything I ever serve to guests, and friends who contribute to potlucks here do as well. If money were not a daunting issue, I'd throw out names like Daniel's crewe because I have had those lavish bites so often at promo parties. But a good, affordable caterer? A unicorn would be easier to find in Manhattan.
Or so I thought until my pal Cheese Jenkins took pity on me when I went in to meet the chainsaw. Three boxes of amazing food were delivered to the hospital and four more greeted me back home on the weekend. Yes, this is blogrolling, but I do know from good. So I can say the fruit salad, cookie platter and cheese tray were outstanding in shipment A, while the sandwich platter, potato salad, coleslaw and smoked salmon-cream-cheese bagel tray were exceptional in shipment B. My consort usually spurns potato salad because no one makes it like his mom does, but even he loved this chunky/creamy/vegetable-flecked version. Turkey-avocado-sprout sandwiches were also totally satisfying (the tray included roast beef, grilled vegetable, goat cheese etc.) And the salmon was silky perfection to top bagels of an intelligent size. Not surprisingly, the cheese platter was a many-splendored thing, with great almonds, walnuts, dried figs, apricots, raisins, golden currants and grapes nestled around five or six types of great cheese.
None of this should be news to anyone, but Fairway does hide in plain sight. If you ever need a caterer, not too expensive, don't ask me. 2127 Broadway at 74th Street, 212 595 1888.
Summer in this city
Be careful what you read on the serious food sites. No matter what the weighty folks say, you should never shuck your corn at the Greenmarket. As I overheard a vendor ask once, do you crack your eggs before you buy them? It would really be abuse of the good ears from Paffenroth, the best I've bought this summer. Even two days old they were sweet and juicy. And they are holding the price line at two for a dollar.
The only things more outstanding are the baby pattypan squash Ray Bradley is selling this summer at the Greenmarket on 97th Street between Columbus and Amsterdam. The first time I bought them I made the mistake of tossing them with pesto, thinking they needed gilding. But these you can eat without even butter. Just simmered in a little salted water, they have amazing flavor.
OXO's party celebrating its move to new headquarters was well worth the schlep. The food was all passed tastes from iconographic New York feederies (Katz's two-bite Reubens, lox from Russ & Daughters, dim sum from Golden Dragon, etc.) and the wine was the good stuff locally sourced you never want to squander your own big bucks on. Murray's probably could have acquired countless new junkies if it had only bothered to label the fantabulous "assorted cheeses" on offer. And in a world where it feels as if jobs are only vanishing, I was impressed with the workspace as much as the views. Every employee has top-o'-the-line chair, desk, computer, phone system. Kafka would be very comfortable.
Taking the K out of craft
Now that my consort is the true denizen of the Greenmarket at Union Square, I have to agree he is totally right about most of the cheese sold there: NG. So I was gratified to hear his scorn fade to acceptance after he tried the Millport Dairy "Monterey Hot Jack" I succumbed to during one of those dairy-promotional Wednesdays this summer. I never thought the Amish had a peppery streak, but this is seriously capsaicin-loaded. Even better, the white cheese that encases the liberal flecks is closer to Cheddar than that slimy Jack you get even in good stores these days. A hefty slab is $6 and grates up great in scrambled eggs (especially for a burrito) and quesadillas, with no grease. I'm not quite clear why "Adirondack Cheese" is made in Lancaster County, though . . . . Fridays @ Union Square.
Sweet heat
One of the biggest travel mistakes I've ever made was listening to the young Estonian couple who invited Bob to Tallinn to speak and show his work — they said there was nothing to see, and so we booked only three days on a crazy trip that started in Veneto, moved on to Tuscany and wound up in awful Copenhagen with nearly the death of our long relationship. Of course the place was fascinating on about 30 levels, not least the alcoholic. For three years I rationed a half-pint bottle of the local liqueur, Vana Tallinn, because it tasted so much like being there. It's sweet and fragrant firewater, a perfect evocation of a new country that mere years before our visit was under the thick boot of the Soviet Union — our hosts had very recent memories of lining up for vodka and sugar rations, of bribing the doctor with chocolate bars for appointments. The label says it is infused with citrus oils, and it does have a round, smooth flavor that is otherwise like a not-quite-syrupy rum. It's totally fascinating. And, apparently, the only way to try it is to fly to Estonia. But there are worse destinations.
Main Street, Queens
Any outing that begins with a 20-minute subway ride in a car with a ranting crazy guy wearing a huge handmade "JAIL SEX SUCKS" button has to end well. But our expedition to Flushing with our new friend the Dumpling Queen was still a Saturday to remember. She led us first to a "hole in the wall" for fresh soy milk, the kind she said makes Silk the foul route, and for outstanding leek dumplings and a doughy scallion pancake. Sitting on the steps of the Queens library at Kissena Boulevard, we passed around pints of sweet and salty "fresh-squeezed" soy milk and could have stopped indulging right there. The sweet tasted like liquid Cream of Wheat, which was nice enough, but the salty was rich and savory and floating with skins of tofu. And then we were off to the restaurant she had described as being under a deer head, but all four of her charges were surprised to see it was yet another Joe's Shanghai. Pam insisted it was better than the one in Chinatown (and later told us the original name was something like "the sound a fawn makes in springtime"), so we waited 15 minutes or so for a table, put up with a human larva breaking the sound barrier and had a decent lunch of soup dumplings (pork and crab to start, then beef) followed by fried rice and a fascinating garlicky green with hollow stems that I correctly guessed was water spinach.
Forty-six dollars for five later, we were off to Hong Kong Supermarket, through the back door just across the street rather than the grand entrance through a mall on Main Street. I think we were there at least an hour, prowling up and down aisles, marveling at the myriad ways food can be processed (and stand out when sold fresh) and simply gawking. My consort and I walked out with four bags filled with cheaper-than-Kam Man mushroom soy sauce, chili sauce, hot sesame oil, cat feeding bowl, pumelo, Korean apple, Japanese chile powder, two-for-$1.99 bags of edamame and frozen scallion and black pepper pancakes (on DQ Pam's advice), plus 14 kinds of Asian candy for Bob's job, all for $35.
We were so full from lunch none of us succumbed to the many samples being passed out around the store, but when we stopped two or three doors down at Tai Pan Bakery we had to buy superb egg custard tarts, the kind we'd all had in Hong Kong. Somehow Pam's bag holding the leftover soy milk had gone missing while the shrieking was going on in the restaurant, so we schlepped back to the hole in the wall for more and wound up buying frozen dumplings to take away ($11 for 50). And in the end Pam's leftovers from Joe's went missing when the A train running local suddenly went express and we jumped off. I hope the jail sex guy found them before someone could see something and say something.
Hole in the Wall: 41st Avenue off Main Street and Kissena Boulevard, next to Monster — the menu board inside has a few words in English; otherwise bring a Chinese speaker.

Luck of the jaw
Given how essential my mouth is to my livelihood, it's impossible to gush adequately over an oral surgeon who sent me out of his office feeling euphoric. And not just on the day he pulled two stupid teeth with the help of heavy drugs. On my last visit, to remove the stitches that had kept me from eating right for a week, he volunteered that one had been "about as bad as it gets" when it came to extraction but that he had not told me beforehand because he didn't want me to freak even more. For that gift alone I would be blabbering his name all over town. But the whole experience was extraordinary, and I'm accustomed to dental miracles — my regular dentist, Jack Binder, is a drill whiz who for 10 whole years repeatedly rescued a failed root canal dating from my Iowa days before replacing it with a relative breeze of an implant in 1992. He also yanked my first wisdom tooth with so little problem or pain that I went to a book party that same night, drank my lunch and dinner both and wound up meeting the editor who would lure me back to the NYTimes to be Deputy Dawg over in Dining. Even he would not touch the bottom set, though, and eight years after he referred me, I finally escaped the state of denial and went to see his preferred specialist. Who had an Xray machine that took a panorama shot while I was standing, not clenching, and also had the warmest staff imaginable — the whole tiny office felt more like a womb. He also acted as if he had all the time in the world to talk me through the valley of evil when I went in for the consultation. As for the actual nightmare, I remember nothing between the prick of the IV and my consort waking me a couple of hours later in a recovery room. I spent the rest of the day in the arms of Vicodin, waiting in vain for the agony I was dreading. Luckily, I have chipmunk cheeks already, but even the swelling was nominal. His greatest gift may have been intimating that tackling the ordeal in stages would make it more bearable and less prolonged. Now I'm halfway looking forward to going back in a few months to remove ticking time bomb No. 2. If he were a restaurant, you'd grow wisdom teeth to try him.

It takes a foreigner
New York's Thanksgiving feature is the smartest in any magazine right now, even in a banner year for turkey and trimmings given the Versace treatment. Many have tried to do ethnic menus, but I don't think anyone has ever succeeded on this level. The photos, back stories and recipes all add up to a particularly vivid snapshot of food and the city. I might not attempt the Chinese, Italian or African turkeys on the feast day of Big Bird, but I'm filing more recipes for the future than is probably healthy. And definitely tossing my brussels sprouts with chorizo on a Thursday soon.
It's not the meat
I've written about these before, but who knows where and when on my crazy-aunt-in-the-attic old site. Now I'm back to say again that Mario Batali's nesting prep bowls are astonishingly useful — the five of them do the work of three sets of measuring cups. Mine were a Christmas gift from my consort, and when I had all of them in overdrive the other day while testing two recipes simultaneously it struck me again how intelligent the design is, definitely more revolutionary than evolutionary. Each cup has two measures, from one tablespoon to two cups, so when you're portioning out something like grated cheese or freshly ground pepper there's no spillage. Plus they keep the bits, big and little, easily organized, and they're light and easy to clean. Admittedly, the color is an annoying reminder of whose name they bear (amazon may call it persimmon, but goddamn it, it's clog). Still, if I can tune it out, so can you. Even his site says they are "Copco designed and inspired."
I can't remember who uttered it, but my favorite quote from my consort's caffeinated travels was that, as a wake-up call to your system: "Tea is a ballet slipper. Coffee is a combat boot." And of course as an aficionada of excess, I will take the latter in pairs. So far the best route to a double dose in small bites is a Bacio al Caffe from what has to be the world's best coffee shop, in my least favorite Italian city, Sant Eustachio in Rome. Two airy wafers of pure weapons-grade espresso powder, cut with ground hazelnuts and cocoa, sandwich a chocolate-coffee cream spiked with coffee liqueur. It is truly extraordinary, just coffee transcendent. Kisses aren't priced like Hershey's (I think they're 1.50E each), and you have to go to noisy-dirty Rome to try them. Still, even though I find the phrase "to die for" cringe-inducing, I would exit happily with one Bacio on the last tray on my deathbed.
Hold the steen
Buying mangos in August in New York is the fruity equivalent of a dollar and a dream. Sometimes you get buttery-sweet, juicy bliss. Most times you get either a hardball or a softy that separates into hanks of tart orange "hair." Last August I found the cheater's path to perfection. We'd forgotten at the grocery store to pick up a pint of Haagen-Dazs to rescue my day-old lemon poundcake for company dinner and rather than get back into the inchworm line we proceeded to the health food store, where my consort proved to be quite an authority since his sojourn in natural-living Middle Earth. Confronted with overwrought Stonyfield Farm (Javalanche?), I compromised on Ciao Bella sorbet. This intensely mangoey concoction was almost good enough to put me off the fresh gamble. It is sugared, and the texture made me double-check the ingredients for carrageen, but it really is the next best thing to crawling into a bathtub with a champagne specimen.

Гевонт () — горный массив в Западных Татрах. Состоит из трёх основных вершин:
 Малый Гевонт Mały Giewont (1728 м)
 Большой Гевонт Wielki Giewont (1895 м)
 Длинный Гевонт Dlugi Giewont (1867 м)

Описание
Массив находится между долинами Быстра (Dolina Bystra), Кондратова (Dolina Kondratowa), Мала Лака (Dolina Małа Łąkа) и Стражиска (Dolina Strążyskа). Располагается рядом с городом Закопане. Между Большим и Малым Гевонтом есть Гевонский перевал (Giewoncka Przełęcz) и ущелье Киркора (Żleb Kirkora), в котором произошло несколько несчастных случаев. Между Большим и Длинным Гевонтом располагается перевал Щерба (Szczerbą Рrzełęcz) и ущелье Щербы (Żleb Szczerby). На Большом Гевонте стоит 15-метровый железный крест с размахом поперечной линии в 5,5 метров, возведённый в 1901 году. Массив находится на территории Татранского Национального Парка (Tatrzański Park Narodowy). На массиве произрастают многие редкие растения Польши, в частности, пырей, многораздельный гроздовник, копьевидная ива и др.

Легенды
Про Гевонтские горы сложено много легенд в польском фольклоре. Если смотреть на массив со стороны города Закопане, то по форме он напоминает спящего рыцаря. Голову его образует Большой, а туловище — Длинный Гевонт. Когда стране будут угрожать враги, рыцарь проснётся и встанет на её защиту.

Ещё одна легенда гласит, что в тех горах есть огромная пещера. По одной версии, в ней спят рыцари короля Болеслава Смелого, которые проснутся, если Польше будет грозить опасность. По другой версии, в пещере живёт монах, который хранит несметные сокровища. Но пещеру ещё никому не удалось обнаружить.

Если на закате солнца загадать желание, глядя на Гевонт, то оно обязательно сбудется.

The Bible of Bibles is a partial philosophical, social and historical treatment on the nature God and the Bible and it's many "predecessors", like the sacred books of India and China.
Kersey Graves deals with the common ground from which these holy books arose. Bibles are, in his view, a more or less natural product of a threefold division of man's mental faculties working together, being: the intellectual department, the moral and religious department and thirdly, the animal department (which includes also the social).
According to Graves, true religion does not regard God as a personal monarch, governing the universe by the caprices of an angry and fickle mind, but as the living, moving, all-pervading, self-sustaining, energizing, vivifying power which moves and sustains the machinery of the whole universe. Graves does not deny a divine force, but ridicules the assumption this force has a personality. Partially, by enumerating mistake after mistake made by many holy Biblical figures, including Jesus.
Evil is treated in a more dialectic way and seen as a force that pervades not only the human realm, but the entire nature. It is seen as simply the negative pole of the great moral battery, and without it the battery could not be run. Without it there could be no morality, no moral principle or accountability, while man exists upon the present animal plane. In fact, morality without evil would be an unmeaning word.
Kersey Graves was born in Brownsville, Pennsylvania on November 21, 1813 and past away on September 4, 1883 in Richmond, Indiana. That is physically, as this flamboyant skeptic, God-critic, rationalist, spiritualist, reformist writer, who gained so much popularity among the 19th century American free thought circuit, still manages to stir up the moods. His devastating comments on the Christian foundations and assumptions are still feared by those God-fearing believers who sold their soul to this religion, and Graves' controversial books are still quoted and debated. The occasional modern historian who criticizes Graves historical research is mostly right. However, this offers the Christian believer little comfort. The point is, Graves cannot be solely commented on from the historical perspective alone. The latter would make him an easy victim of modern historians who hold the (rather extreme and ungrounded) vision, that every historical book written before 1950 is virtually worthless in the 21st century.
Graves and his legacy are simply too big for academic shortcuts. The authors' main objective was not primarily centered around academic aspirations. Instead, he wrote passionately about his subjects as the Bible, Christ, Satan and church dogmas, from the perspective of a socially engaged researcher, using the historical data of his time as a plaster, in search for uninvestigated, denied or repressed truths beyond our "taken for granted-Christianity".
For a better understanding of his argumentation and style a little insight in his Quaker background is invaluable.

When you install fear, guild and punishment by eternal torture as the basis of society, then the psychological make up of most people get distorted and life in general tends towards structural un-happyness. Apart from this core message of his book, which has not lost anything of its actuality, Graves also provides a lot of historical data. Giving us insight in the origins of the many false assumptions the Christian faith build its' empire on. The origins of the Devil, eternal punishment, Heaven and Hell are discussed, as well as evil itself within this context.
In his book The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors, American writer Kersey Graves shows that many demigods all over the world, share similar stories, traits or quotes with Jesus. The similarity between the story of Christ and his many predecessors gave rise to what is now called the Christ myth theory. This theory holds the view that the story of Jesus is either a piece of mythology, or, if Christ really existed, he had probably nothing to do with the founding of Christianity.

Q: how to cancel svn commit when editing the commit-notes (command line client) I'm using the command-line SVN client on Linux. I typed svn commit which invoked vim to edit the commit notes. When I looked into the list of modified and added files I decided to cancel the commit. But how can I achieve that? Is it already too late?

A: Just quit the editor without saving, you will be asked to continue or cancel back on the command line.
Like this:
Log message unchanged or not specified
(a)bort, (c)ontinue, (e)dit:

If you've already saved the message, overwrite your message with the empty message, save again, and quit the editor. svn will then abort because of the empty message as well.

Choi Hong-hi, född 9 november 1918 i Hwa Dae i Korea (nuvarande Nordkorea), död 15 juni 2002 i Pyongyang Nordkorea, sydkoreansk general som anses ha grundat kampsporten taekwondo. Han föddes i det som senare blev Nordkorea, men bodde under större delen av sitt liv i Sydkorea, Japan och Kanada. Han dog i Pyongyang av magcancer.

Historia

Historien för Taekwondo är otvivelaktigt ihopkopplad med Gen. Choi Hong-hi som ägnade hela sitt liv åt att introducera denna kampkonst världen över. Här nedan kan man i väldigt korta drag följa hans liv och Taekwon-Dos födelse.

Choi Hong-hi föddes den 9 november 1918 i Hae Dae i nuvarande Nordkorea. 1930 blev den då tolvårige Choi Hong-hi suspenderad från sin skola för deltagande i antijapanska demonstrationer (från 1905 styrdes Korea av japanska myndigheter och från 1910 blev de direkt ockuperade av den japanska militärmakten). Från den tiden fortsatte Choi sin vidare utbildning hos en privat lärare, Han Il-dong, som även var expert på Tae Kyon, en traditionell koreansk kampkonst som var officiellt förbjuden av ockupationsmakten. 1937 åkte Choi till Japan för att studera. Fortfarande var han mycket engagerad i kampkonstträning, vilken stärkte och förbättrade hans dåliga hälsa som varit svag redan från födseln.

Den 7 december 1941 började Japan sitt deltagande i andra världskriget och i och med detta startade en allmän mobilisering av alla unga män till armén, bland annat även den unge Choi. Efter militär utbildning till löjtnant skickades han till Pyongyang i Korea där han p.g.a. sin verksamhet inom den underjordiska koreanska självständighetsrörelsen blev dömd till fängelse. För att behålla sin fysiska kondition, fortsatte han sin träning i fängelsecellen. Efter en tid i fängelset började många av hans fängelsekamrater och även en del av vakterna praktisera träningen. Det var då Choi Hong-hi började fundera över grunderna till en ny kampkonst.

1945, i samband med krigets slutskede, blev Choi Hong-hi befriad från fängelset och i samma tid blev han en av de officerare som började bygga upp en ny självständig koreansk armé, i vilken han gjorde en snabb och lysande karriär. 1948 blev han, redan som överste, utsedd till huvudinstruktör för självförsvarsträning i den amerikanska militärpolisskolan. Kort därefter reste Choi Hong-hi till USA för att studera på en militärhögskola.

1954 startade Choi tillsammans med en av sina medarbetare, Nam Tae-hi, systematiseringen av tekniker, träningsmetoder samt moraliska och filosofiska principer i sin kampkonstskola som hette Oh Do Kwan. 11 april 1955 använde man för första gången officiellt namnet TAEKWON-DO. Genom många uppvisningar i Korea och i världen började man introducera den nya kampkonsten. 1959 blev Choi utsedd till ordförande i det Koreanska Taekwon-Do Förbundet samt till vice befälhavare för II:a Armén Tae Gu. Tillsammans med sina bästa elever gjorde han en mängd av Taekwon-Do uppvisningar i många av de asiatiska länderna. Taekwon-Do teknikerna blev snabbt uppskattade för sin effektivitet.

1963 presenterades Taekwon-Do på en uppvisning i huvudkvarteret för FN (Förenta Nationerna) i New York, USA, med stora applåder och allmän uppskattning som följd. Den 22 mars 1966 grundades det Internationella Taekwon-Do Förbundet (ITF) med sitt huvudkvarter i Seoul, Korea. 1967-2002 var en tid för Choi Hong-hi med oavbrutna resor och uppvisningar för spridningen av Taekwon-Do i världen.

På grund av sjukdom avled Gen. Choi Hong-hi den 15 juni 2002 på ett sjukhus i Pyongyang, Nordkorea. Gen. Choi har under sitt liv besökt över 130 länder för att sprida Taekwon-Do.

The FiberStar 1620 is the perfect combination of power and compact size. We wanted to make an insulation blower that could handle any job, and take to any job. That meant redesigning one of our larger more powerful models and making the footprint over 14% smaller to accommodate it's use in smaller trailers and trucks that can get to any job.
This machine turned out to be better than we ever imagined, with it's compact design it will fit in almost any trailer or truck with ample room to store your insulation material, tools, and everything else you might need on the job. The hopper is large, at 44 cubic feet enough to keep you working steadily throughout the day.
The powerful 20 HP Honda® engine powers both the two-finger shredding system (upgradable to the four-finger shredding system) and the Sutorbilt 3L Positive Displacement Blower to support both functions with enough power all day long from that reliable Honda® Engine.
Another suggested upgrade for the FiberStar 1620 is the custom wireless remote that replaces the 150' wired remote system. The wireless remote can operate the machine from up to 500' away so you know wherever you are on the site you will run out of hose before you are out of range.

According to an insider from China Unicom, the company has required its branches in major Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, to finish construction of WCDMA networks before April 17, 2009, and then to start a one-month internal operation and system test to make preparations for the official launch of the commercial use of WCDMA on May 17, 2009.
Having decided the date for the opening of this new service, China Unicom has accelerated its first-round WCDMA equipment tender. This tender covers 55 Chinese cities, including provincial capitals, specifically designated cities and some developed cities, and the tender will last for several rounds.
Eight telecommunications companies, including Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei, Nokia Siemens Networks, ZTE, Motorola, New Postcom and FiberHome, are participating in the tender. However, because the equipment used by Motorola is from Huawei and those used by New Postcom and FiberHome are from Ericsson, equipment made by five manufacturers will actually compete in the tender.
By the results in 13 cities already revealed by China Unicom, equipment makers who offer low prices gain more market share. So far, ZTE is the largest winner in the 13 cities, followed by Nokia Siemens Networks and Alcatel-Lucent, while Ericsson and Huawei have not gained any share.

Power station (disambiguation)
Power Station (Taiwanese band)
2012 World [civil] electricity generation by fuels (IEA, 2014)
Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power station. The term includes nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion. Presently, the nuclear fission of elements in the actinide series of the periodic table produce the vast majority of nuclear energy in the direct service of humankind, with nuclear decay processes, primarily in the form of geothermal energy, and radioisotope thermoelectric generators, in niche uses making up the rest.
Nuclear (fission) power stations, excluding the contribution from naval nuclear fission reactors, provided 11% of the world's electricity in 2012, somewhat less than that generated by hydro-electric stations at 16%. Since electricity accounts for about 25% of humanity's energy usage with the majority of the rest coming from fossil fuel reliant sectors such as transport, manufacture and home heating, nuclear fission's contribution to the global final energy consumption is about 2.5%, a little more than the combined global electricity production from "new renewables"; wind, solar, biofuel and geothermal power, which together provided 2% of global final energy consumption in 2014.

A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station in which the heat source is a nuclear reactor. As is typical in all conventional thermal power stations the heat is used to generate steam which drives a steam turbine connected to an electric generator which produces electricity. As of 23 April 2014, the IAEA report there are 435 nuclear power reactors in operation operating in 31 countries. Nuclear power plants are usually considered to be base load stations, since fuel is a small part of the cost of production.
Electricity was generated by a nuclear reactor for the first time ever on September 3, 1948 at the X-10 Graphite Reactor in Oak Ridge, Tennessee in the United States, and was the first nuclear power plant to power a light bulb. The second, larger experiment occurred on December 20, 1951 at the EBR-I experimental station near Arco, Idaho in the United States. On June 27, 1954, the world's first nuclear power plant to generate electricity for a power grid started operations at the Soviet city of Obninsk. The world's first full scale power station, Calder Hall in England opened on October 17, 1956.

A power station (also referred to as a generating station, power plant, powerhouse, or generating plant) is an industrial facility for the generation of electric power. Most power stations contain one or more generators, a rotating machine that converts mechanical power into electrical power. The relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor creates an electrical current. The energy source harnessed to turn the generator varies widely. Most power stations in the world burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas to generate electricity. Others use nuclear power, but there is an increasing use of cleaner renewable sources such as solar, wind, wave and hydroelectric.
The world's first power station was designed and built by Lord Armstrong at Cragside, England in 1868. Water from one of the lakes was used to power Siemens dynamos. The electricity supplied power to lights, heating, produced hot water, ran an elevator as well as labor-saving devices and farm buildings.

Power Station (traditional Chinese: 動力火車; simplified Chinese: 动力火车; pinyin: Dònglì Huǒchē) is a Taiwanese rock duo, composed of Yu Chiu-hsin and Yen Chih-lin, both of the Paiwan tribe of Taiwan's Pingtung County. Their music is characterized by their fast-paced rock ballads, as well as their electrifying rock anthems. Their looks and long hair stand out from the mainstream Chinese pop scene because of their resemblance to typical western Heavy Metal musicians. In 2001, Power Station released their first album on the Grand Music label (later known as HIM International Music), Walking along Jhonghsiao East Street Nine Times. The title track of that album (Chinese version of song from 1997 "Takie tango" by Budka Suflera) won the Silver Award for Best Mandarin Song at the 24th RTHK Top Ten Golden Song Awards.
Yu Chiu-hsin and Yen Chih-lin graduated from Taiwan Adventist College in Nantou County, and formed a band called "Virgin Choir" (處男合唱團) with some friends before changing to "Prominent Position" (突出部位) and disbanding. At the ages of 25, they formed Power Station through singing western rock songs. After the release of their first album, their fames spread within the Chinese music scene in the 1990s. In 1998, they sang the theme song "When" (當) from the drama My Fair Princess.
