Born in 1932. A British painter and printmaker. His work is most often associated with abstraction.
Howard Hodgkin was educated at Bryanston School in Dorset. He then studied at the Camberwell Art School and later at the Bath Academy of Art in Corsham. Hodgkin's first solo show was in London in 1962. His early paintings tend to be made up of hard-edged curved forms in a limited number of colours.
Around the beginning of the 1970s, his style became more spontaneous, with vaguely recognisable shapes presented in bright colours and bold forms. His works may then be called "semi-abstract", and are often compared to the paintings of Henri Matisse.
In 1984, Hodgkin represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, in 1985 he won the Turner Prize, and in 1992 he was knighted. In 2003 he was appointed by Queen Elizabeth II as a Companion of Honour.
A major exhibition of his work was mounted at Tate Britain, London, in 2006. Also in 2006, The Independent declared him one of the 100 most influential gay people in Britain, as his work helps many people express their emotions to others
Hodgkin's paintings often seek to convey memories of encounters with friends and frequently carry titles alluding to specific places and events such as Dinner at West Hill (1966) and Goodbye to the Bay of Naples (1980–82). Hodgkin himself has said that he paints "representational pictures of emotional situations."

Alarming Threat To Fly Plane Into Capitol Under Investigation
Posted by Amanda Prestigiacomo | Jan 6, 2021 | Uncategorized | 0 |
https://www.dailywire.com/news/alarming-threat-to-fly-plane-into-capitol-under-investigation
A threat heard by multiple air traffic controllers in New York to fly a plane into the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday to "avenge" the death of Iranian terrorist Qassem Soleimani is being investigated, CBS News reported Wednesday.
Audio of the threat, which was obtained by CBS News, went as follows: "We are flying a plane into the Capitol on Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged."
Soleimani was the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force (IRGC-QF), a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, and killed last year in a drone strike ordered by President Donald Trump. The threat heard by American air traffic controllers was made Monday, the one-year anniversary of Soleimani's death.
"It's unclear who sent the threat," CBS reported Wednesday morning. "While the government does not believe the warning of an attack is credible, it is being investigated as a breach of aviation frequencies, CBS News has learned."
Sources told the news station "that the Pentagon and other agencies were briefed Tuesday about the digitized voice recording," the report said. "The sources said they believe the threat was designed to suggest hitting the Capitol on the same day Congress is set to count the Electoral College results."
"Experts said the intrusion is concerning because it could affect the instructions pilots get about how and where planes fly," the report noted, added, "Sources told CBS News a message was sent to air traffic controllers on Tuesday reminding them that any threat or a plane deviating from its flight path should be reported immediately."
The FBI said it takes "all threats of violence to public safety seriously," but did not directly comment on the threat.
The Daily Wire reported Monday on top Iranian officials suggesting they would attempt to assassinate Trump after he leaves office to avenge Soleimani.
"Videos of the remarks by Ebrahim Raisi, head of Iran's judiciary, and IRGC General Esmail Qaani, commander of the Qods Force, were posted online and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which tracks Islamic extremism, anti-Semitism and anti-American sentiment around the world," The Daily Wire reported.
"The (Americans) should wait for the hard revenge," Raisi said on Friday. "The beloved resistance forces will determine the place and the time. The Islamic nation knows at what point in time and where this revenge will be exacted. The enemy should know that its life will be very difficult from now on. The resistance movement will make the enemy's life much more difficult, in revenge for the blood of the martyr Soleimani. One of the aspects of hard revenge will be driving the Americans out of the region."
"Punishing those who gave the order and those who committed the crime is another aspect of this hard revenge," continued Raisi. "I am addressing the enemy. Let no one think that if someone holds the position of the U.S. President, yet he commits or orders a murder, he will be immune to the enforcement of law and justice and will remain on the sidelines. Never! Those who played a role in this assassination, in this crime, none of them will be safe anywhere on the globe. This is final. The steel willpower of the resistance movement will exact hard revenge from them."

Egg nog was a popular Colonial Drink. George Washington had his own recipe. Photography courtesy Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board.
Egg nog is a descendant of milk-and-wine punches that had long been part of European celebrations when colonists arrived in the Americas. Rum, a New World distillation, enabled a spirited substitution for the wine.
Egg nog became a popular wintertime drink throughout Colonial America. Then, as now, people loved the rich, spicy, and alcoholic brew. President George Washington was quite a fan of egg nog. His own recipe, which included rye whiskey, rum and sherry, was reputed to be so stiff a drink that only the most courageous could down it.
Brandy joined rum in the basic recipe much later—as part of a book promotion! In the 1820s, Pierce Egan wrote a book called "Life of London: or Days and Nights of Jerry Hawthorne and His Elegant Friend Corinthina Tom." Just as today's mixologists and publicists know how to generate buzz with a new cocktail, Egan created a variation of egg nog he called the "Tom and Jerry." The half ounce of brandy he added to the basic recipe furthered egg nog's popularity—and fortunately, the original name prevailed.
Baltimore initiated a tradition where young men made the rounds of their friends on New Year's Day, enjoying a bracing cup of egg nog at each home. The more homes one visited, the more "braced" one became. It was considered a feat to actually finish one's rounds. How times change! Aside from today's attitudes toward moderation, would anyone give up football to continue the tradition?
As with most things in the murky past, there are different stories on the origins of egg nog. The egg part is easy: there are eggs in the recipe (along with sugar, rum, milk, whiskey/bourbon/rum/brandy, heavy cream, vanilla and ground nutmeg).
In England and Colonial America, grog* was slang for rum. Thus the description of the beverage, "egg-and-grog," could be corrupted to egg'n'grog and then to egg nog.
A nog is a small mug or cup. It was used to serve drinks at table in taverns (while drinks beside the fire were served in tankards). It is much easier to see how an egg-based drink in a noggin would become egg nog.
Regardless, the unusual charm of the name only enhances the rich charm of the beverage. Now if we only could do something about those calories!
*After Old Grog, the nickname of Edward Vernon (1684-1757), a British admiral who ordered that diluted rum be served to his sailors. The nickname is derived from grogram, after his habit of wearing a grogram cloak—a coarse fabric made of silk, mohair, wool, or a blend of them. Isn't etymology fascinating?

De Landelijke Vereniging tot Behoud van het Historisch Bedrijfsvaartuig (LVBHB) is in 1974 opgericht als Het Zeilend Bedrijfsvaartuig.  De LVBHB opereert ook onder de werknaam "het Historisch Bedrijfsvaartuig". In de LVBHB zijn mensen georganiseerd die kennis hebben van het behouden en restaureren van historische bedrijfsvaartuigen, alsmede de liefhebbers daarvan. De vereniging stelt zich ten doel: "het behoud van historische bedrijfsvaartuigen, waarmee oorspronkelijk op de Nederlandse wateren enig bedrijf is uitgeoefend en waarvan het karakter overwegend bewaard is gebleven, alsmede het in stand houden van ambachten die hierbij betrokken zijn geweest."

Oktober 2021 had de vereniging bijna 2000 leden, waarvan een bescheiden aantal in het buitenland woont. Twee jaar eerder met ruim 2500 schepen, die of in restauratiestadium, of al in de vaart zijn. De meeste van deze schepen zijn aangemeld bij het Register Varend Erfgoed Nederland. Dit register is opgezet door de Federatie Oud Nederlandse Vaartuigen, tegenwoordig Federatie Varend Erfgoed Nederland (FVEN) geheten, waarbij de LVBHB is aangesloten.

Historische bedrijfsvaartuigen
Historische bedrijfsvaartuigen zijn schepen, waarmee de oorspronkelijke schipper vroeger zijn brood verdiende door de handel, de beurtvaart, de passagiersvaart, de sleepvaart of de visserij. Op deze schepen is de toenmalige scheepsbouw en het werken en leven aan boord zichtbaar en voelbaar gebleven. In overdrachtelijke zin zijn ze te groot voor het servet van de watersport en te klein voor het tafellaken van de beroepsvaart. Als ze "groot vaartuig" zijn (20 meter of langer of een blokvolume hebben van 100 m3 of meer) moeten ze technisch voldoen aan het ES-TRIN, evenals de schepen uit de beroepsvaart. Ze kunnen dan gecertificeerd worden als pleziervaartuig. Het ES-TRIN bevat ook bepalingen voor traditionele vaartuigen, er is echter pas een enkel schip als zodanig gecertificeerd.

Behoud van de schepen
Door het behoud van historische bedrijfsvaartuigen wordt een voor Nederland belangrijk varend cultureel erfgoed in stand gehouden. Behouden door gebruik, vaak als woonschip. Met deze schepen behouden havens en vaarwegen hun oorspronkelijke levendige karakter en zijn de havensteden een beleving voor toeristen en recreanten. Dankzij de inspanningen van vele particuliere eigenaren bezit Nederland nog steeds een bijzonder grote collectie voormalige bedrijfsvaartuigen. Van klippers en tjalken tot stoomslepers en van pakschuiten tot Luxe Motors. Veel historische schepen zijn op verzoek te bezichtigen. In tegenstelling tot museumschepen worden de schepen op eigen kosten van de eigenaren onderhouden. Ook aan de vervanging van een klassieke dieselmotor door een milieuvriendelijker exemplaar wordt door overheden niets bijgedragen, waar voor de vervanging bij schepen in de beroepsvaart wel subsidies beschikbaar zijn.

Behoud van de kennis en ervaring
De tweede rol van behoudsorganisaties is om een volgende generatie eigenaren van oude schepen op het gebied van varen met hun schip kennis en ervaring op te laten doen. Manoeuvreren onder zeil, varen met een lamme arm, de kneepjes van het scheepsstoombedrijf en zo voort. Eigenaren die in verenigingsverband zo kennis en ervaring opdoen zullen zich in de vaart zekerder voelen. De LVBHB geeft restauratieadviezen en organiseert jaarlijks enkele bijeenkomsten. De zomerreünie, onder de naam Erfgoedmanifestatie, vindt eind juli op een telkens wisselende plaats, wel de belangrijkste is. In 2022 in Gouda.

Belangenbehartiging
Achter de schermen is de LVBHB actief in overlegorganen op diverse niveaus om de belangen van (eigenaren van) de voormalige bedrijfsvaartuigen te behartigen. Bij voorzieningen voor de watersport wordt met deze categorie niet tot nauwelijks rekening gehouden en op de drukke vaarwegen kijkt de beroepsvaart vaak letterlijk neer op hun eigen oude schuitjes. Een historisch bedrijfsvaartuig is slechts een levend object wanneer het vaart. Het zal dus actief gebruikt moeten en kunnen worden. Bij het weer openen van historische vaarwegen zal rekening gehouden moeten worden met een realistische grootste gemene deler van afmetingen en kruiphoogte van historische schepen.

De vereniging is vaak gesprekspartner voor overheden en anderen die schepen willen betrekken in hun monumentenbeleid en bij hun historische havens en vaarwegen. Het bestuur is vertegenwoordigd in diverse andere organisaties die de belangen van de historische schepen vertegenwoordigen en behartigen. Organisaties als de European Maritime Heritage (EMH). De kracht van de behoudsorganisaties ligt in het vrijwillige karakter van de inspanning.

Album Review: Rush – R40 Live CD
November 23, 2015 June 17, 2020 Drew
Rush is never going to get a #1 album as long as they continue to release a much anticipated new album the same day someone else, who has a wider fan base, releases theirs. R40 Live has ZERO chance of going #1 against Adele's new album and it is pretty rare for a live album to top the charts but this album proves what everyone who attended the sold out shows during the summer discovered – Rush has way too much left to call it a career. Released on its own or as a combo with the video version on … Continue reading Album Review: Rush – R40 Live CD

Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation: Rush's Alex Lifeson Says There's Life After R40 Tour: 'I Don't Think It Is the End' Rumors of Rush's demise have been greatly exaggerated — at least according to guitarist Alex Lifeson. The Canadian trio's R40 tour earlier this year — documented on the new R40 Live CD and home video set due Friday — was accompanied by reports that it would mark the end of Rush, mostly owing to physical ailments suffered by Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart. It may well prove to be the last tour of its kind for Rush, … Continue reading Rush Is Alive and Well – No Plans to Retire
Top 10 Best* Metallica Songs

The other day I got to listening "One," just a fantastic Metallica song, and thought, why not a Top 10 list of Metallica songs. I enjoy reading Top 10 lists and have occasionally done them for other publications but it's something I've never done before in this forum. I, like everyone else, get drawn into reading them. They're quite often enlightening, usually entertaining and Top 10 lists provide an easy read for readers. However, these lists tend to be subjective and sometimes, if not always, raise the ire of someone, somewhere. Especially when it comes to music. Perhaps that's why … Continue reading Top 10 Best* Metallica Songs

Def Leppard Self Titled Album Review The 14 song collection lasts about 55 minutes and indeed showcases who and what Def Leppard is but also delivers on singer Joe Elliott's promise that it's got a bit of everything and doesn't get stuck in a specific era of Def Leppard albums.

A beautiful, fruity latte, perfect for winter and summer alike.
Summertime in Nordic countries means two things - slightly warmer weather than the rest of the year and an abundance of things to forage in the forests. Mushrooms and berries, most importantly.
This recipe highlights my favourites - wild blueberries or bilberries. They've got so much flavour and punch packed into a small round package, it's impossible not to love them! In summer we usually freeze as much as we can for the winter ahead, perfect for making these lattes later in the year!
If you can't find bilberries then regular blueberries will work just as well! Living in South Africa means that there are no bilberries here, which is why I've used regular blueberries for these pictures too. It tastes really amazing!
Place all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat off and let infuse for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bag and pour into cups. Foam the milk by placing a few tbsp in a French press and moving the handle up and down. Pour on top of the latte and sprinkle cinnamon on top.

BLASPHEMER release new Video 'The Sixth Hour'
Monday, July 13th, 2020	at 9:21 pm
Italian extreme metal stalwarts BLASPHEMER have released a new video for their single 'The Sixth Hour'. The video is the title track of the band's most recent album which was released worldwide by Candlelight Records on 24th January this year.
Premiered via Decibel Magazine , you can now watch the video in full here:
The band commented:"BLASPHEMER is proud to introduce you to the new videoclip of their latest album's title track 'The Sixth Hour'. This visual assault which has been meticulously crafted by talented artist Chariot of Black Moth (Converge, Wolves in the Throne Room…) to blast the viewer with a relentless black-and-white abyss of sinisterness. The images displayed dive deeply into the most obscure religious manifestations of Southern Italy around the Holy Week and Easter, including macabre processions often climaxing in gore-drenched, self-harming traditions – aiming to emulate and celebrate the suffering of Christ in his path to the crucifixion. Unsettling portraits of Jesus upon Golgotha mix here with these nowadays representation of the passion, since the death of Christ and the grotesqueness of his vulnerability, counterposed to the falsity of his divine nature, encompass the centuries."
Album The Sixth Hour was released earlier this year in January and showcases twelve songs of pure blackened-death metal, mastered at the famous studio Hertz in Poland, known for their work with Behemoth, Decapitated and Vader. Fundamentally a concept album, The Sixth Hour's main theme is the way of the cross, i.e. the last day of Jesus Christ, the path that led him from the Gethsemane to Golgotha. The aim of the album is to depict Jesus as merely human, trying to transpose into music the agony he felt in the last day. Out now on Candlelight Records, you can order the album here:https://blasphemer.lnk.to/TheSixthHour

I use OIV write a medical application. I need rendering slice(oblique) with thickness(such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GThB...qmz5l8&index=1, this soft is writen by OIV). The OIV medical module have some class such as SoOrthoSlice, SoObliqueSlice. But they don't support rendering a slice with a thickness.
I read the SDK example, It seems MedicalMIP example can work well for this purpose.
My question : Is there any proposal for rending oblique slice with thickness ?
You are correct. Thick slice rendering is supported, but currently there is no single class to provide this feature.
A node, or nodes to define the thickness of the slice (number of voxels that will be combined for each pixel on the screen).
This case is easy. A region of interest node (SoROI) can be used to define the thickness. Put the center of the ROI box at the slice "position".
This case is more complicated and requires multiple nodes. A rectangular box is used as a clipping region to define the thickness and a transform node is used to position and orient the clipping box. The MedicalMIP example ($OIVHOME/examples/source/Medical/Rendering/Visualization) shows how to do this. In fact this technique can also be used for axis aligned thick slices (but is not necessary if only axis aligned thick slices are needed).
A camera node (SoOrthographicCamera) that is rotated to be perpendicular to the slice and positioned to point toward the center of the slice.
For an axis aligned slice, this is straightforward (same as viewing any SoOrthoSlice). For an oblique slice, it is more complicated but, as shown in the MedicalMIP example, the necessary rotation can be taken from the rotation node that orients the clipping box.
Thanks , your answer is very clear.


As a recruiter, I come into contact with candidates and job orders that teach me something new every day. The lesson I learned last week is that I should never stop learning, but rather soak up every piece of information wherever in print, audio, on television, online, bathroom wall, wherever I can glean new information, I had better absorb it. I now realize that I never want to get to the point in life where I am stagnant and no longer moving forward.
I met a candidate a few weeks ago, who I thought would have been fabulous for a particular position, but the manager felt he might be too advanced in his career. The reason that he thought he might be too advanced is because he was older and the stigma that older candidates face is that they are too old to learn new technology. It was at that point that I realized that I better keep new information flowing through my gray matter, or else I might grow stagnant myself. This was a wakeup call for me, my ah-ha moment, if you will.
You see, there was a time, not so long ago, I honestly thought that one day I would be perfect in my thinking. I know it sounds arrogant, but let me explain what I mean by "perfect". I thought that I would get to the point in my emotional maturity where every word that came out of my mouth would be filled with sage wisdom, every thought that came to my mind would be straight from God and every action that I took would be perfectly orchestrated and the exact same action that God Himself would have taken! I'm not sure where that mind came from, but suffice it to say, it was a mindset that would put me into a mental tailspin every time that I said something off color, not in line with the Word (ugly words included) Egypt responded completely opposite of the way I should have responded. When these "failures in action" occurred, it would set me back to square one, almost like seeing "failure-student will remain in 3rd grade" on a report card. Then I would have to start all over in an attempt to relearn what I already knew. I had not even thought about my career and progressing in new technology or processes, until last week when I realized that I would be learning and improving until the day I die.


Here's a list of the 20 largest children's ministries in America for 2015.
Though size and growth are not the only signs of spiritual health, they are important indicators. Anything that has life grows. God tells us to go out and compel people to come so His house will be full. You can't reach empty seats.
There is much that can be learned from these children's ministries. I would encourage you to click on their links and check out their websites.
Though these churches are reaching tens of thousands of kids and families, they're just scratching the surface. There are still millions of people across the country who need Jesus. That's why every church, no matter the size, must go all out to reach kids and families.
*This list is based on the 2015 Largest Churches in America report by Outreach magazine.
Thanks for sharing these. It's always fun to see what others are doing to reach families for Jesus.
Do you have your parent dedication class notes available yet? I was hoping to see them. Also, I am so excited to see your Starting Line class stuff! Thank you for sharing!

Volleyball Returns Home From Purple Raider With 7-5
Katie Weiser, Contributing Reporter
The Case Western Reserve University volleyball team continued to demonstrate outstanding play to open up the second day of the Purple Raider Classic hosted by Mount Union University. The ladies faced off against Kalamazoo College, hoping to put together another win after last night's victory against Transylvania University. The Spartans were dominant, winning in four sets with scores of 25-12 and 25-18 in the first two sets. The Kalamazoo squad fought back to win the third set 27-29 before the Spartans closed out the match with a decisive 25-9 victory.
Several ladies stepped up with great playing in this match including junior Natalie Southard and sophomore Haley Kauffman on offense delivering 12 and 13 kills, respectively. Freshman Lauren Gurd helped out with 45 assists and on the defensive side, several players pitched in with sophomore Katie Best and freshmen Kristen Mitchell and Shannon Chua providing a total of 49 digs in this match. The Spartans will look to continue their winning streak against Hanover College later today.
The Spartans finished their weekend at the Purple Raider Classic with a perfect record, beating Hanover College in three straight sets to close out the tournament. The Spartans played at a high level throughout the entire match, taking the lead in the first few minutes and keeping it during each of the following sets. The ladies won the first two sets with scores of 25-18 and 25-13 and continued to play well despite a late run by the Hanover team to try to push a fourth set. They edged out the Hanover squad in the third set with a score of 25-21 to sweep the match and the tournament.
Junior Natalie Southard continued to show dominant play at the net with 12 kills bringing her weekend total to 38. Sophomore Lauren Gurd contributed heavily earning her second double-double on the season with 23 assists and 10 digs. Sophomore Katie Best also shone on defense, providing 15 digs to the team total of 55 during this match.
The Spartans will return home next Tuesday to host their next opponent, Heidelberg University.

Using Apple's Pages for collaborative design and layout.
We're in the process of producing a new brochure for Echoleft to highlight our event registration and ticketing features.
Designing printed materials for us had previously started with a pencil-and-paper sketch layout and, perhaps, a Google Doc for the written content. We would then jumped almost immediately into Photoshop or InDesign to get the layout and text working together. This step, however, means that everyone other than the designer is unable to see how changes to the wording affect the layout and vice-versa. It also creates a multi-step process for edits: suggest the new content in the Google Doc, wait for the designer to implement it, review the changes, repeat.
We have tried using Google Docs (including Drawings) for the layout in the past, but the tools just aren't good enough yet.
I've always liked the layout tools in Apple's Pages app, it's always been a solid desktop-publishing app for those that aren't professional designers but need to produce documents that look good. I see people using Microsoft Word for this, but if you've ever had to edit or manipulate images in Word and inevitably wanted to throw your computer out the window, you'll know why I prefer Pages even with its imperfections.
With the announcement in 2016 that Apple's iWork apps (Pages, Keynote and Numbers) would support real-time collaboration, it made sense to give it a try for designing the layout of our new brochure. It will end up in professional design software eventually, but I wanted to produce a draft that would give us a 'close enough' version that we could work on together.
Here are a few observations from the process:
Apple's collaboration for Pages is still not finished. It's not bad per se, it's just not finished. Here's the list of features that currently aren't supported when you make a document collaborative.
That list is optimistic. There are other thing that don't work, I found several issues that were resolved by switching collaboration off, for example at one point I lost the ability to delete a page.
If you're using custom fonts, you need them to be installed on all devices. Google Docs works around this by providing access to a range of 'good enough for most cases and in some cases excellent' fonts across all devices. Apple's default list is much shorter. I did learn, however, that you can install custom fonts on an iOS device. I used the AnyFont app and it worked really well. I had to restart Pages for it to recognise the new fonts and once I'd done that everything looked just right.
If you're willing to spend a little time getting to know it's features, Pages is an incredibly powerful layout tool. I found learning as much as I could about everything in the 'format' bar really useful. I think the lack of linked text boxes in the last few versions has constrained Pages as a desktop publishing tool, but now they're back and they worked well for me.
When you're offline, you can't work on a collaborative document in Pages at all. Google Docs makes this features available via a Chrome Extension although my mileage has varied dramatically with it over the years. There's something 'unnatural' about being told by an Apple-made native macOS application that you can't use it offline. I think this is the first time I've ever experienced that and it's not handled particularly sensitively in the UI.
If I was working on content alone and didn't need the layout features, I'd choose Google Docs every time. Powerful privacy features, the fact that it's cross-platform and third-party integrations are just some of the reasons we use it every day. However for working on a more complex layout, I wouldn't hesitate to use Pages 'collaboration' feature.
I don't think Apple isn't competing on the same playing field and for small groups at work, families and friends working on documents together I think Apple are making real progress on a useful feature that's worth your consideration if you need it in the future.

Pompeo criticizes China and long-held US views on country
AP Diplomatic Writer
Washington – Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is lashing out at China and accusing the Chinese Communist Party of adopting policies that run counter to U.S. interests.
He's also criticizing previous American administrations going back to Richard Nixon for accommodating Beijing by ignoring fundamental differences in the U.S. and Chinese systems and wishing for reform.
In a speech to the conservative Hudson Institute in New York on Wednesday, Pompeo said China must be confronted rather than coddled on numerous fronts. Those range from its trade practices to human rights and its aggression in the South China Sea and toward Taiwan.
Pompeo's remarks were the second harshly critical speech about China from a senior Trump administration official in a week. Vice President Mike Pence delivered a similar critique of China last Thursday.


Discussion in 'Guitar Owners Clubs' started by johnny guitar, Oct 8, 2009.
I have owned lots of Fender Teles, lots of G&L ASATs, and plenty of teles by other custom makers. But my favorites of all are Rice Custom Guitars teles. I tend to rotate my gear pretty often so I can keep on getting new ones, but I always come back to the Rich and Chris (and now Matt with Rice pickups) Rice offerings. Rice guitars always make me feel like I bought something from a master craftsman in old world Austria or something like that. These guitars have serious TIME put into their creation. Rich and Chris Rice spend countless hours on the necks, the nuts, electronics, finishes, everything. But it is not just time of course. These guys are both accomplished tele players, and KNOW what a tele is and what they want it to sound like. If you want a vintage sounding tele, man oh man, look no further. My latest Rice is just an awesome guitar. It has finally satisifed my frequent longings for a strat, while playing a tele. This one is a one-piece ash body with Lolllar strat pups, and a gotoh bridge and saddles. It has the famous Rich Rice-shaped fat neck, which are the greatest necks for teles I have ever felt or played. It is such a tremendous instrument. Anyway, the Rices deserve a club here, so pitch in with your pix and comments!
Great guitars! Here's #42. I stupidly traded it away and miss it dearly. Maybe it will make its way back to me one day.
That guitar was #42 in tribute to Douglas Adams.
I wouldn't mind having her come back to me either! Still love that top.
I have another in the works; a 24 fret, trem-laden, MIDI-equipped Tulip in Lake Placid Blue.
Oh, for some time to actually complete my guitars in less than a year!
Here's #125. Esquire-ish, but with an SD Quarter Pounder under the pickguard, about midway to the neck.
Built in Apr '09 (I think), but I just got the guitar last month, purchased from another TDPRI member.
Not technically a Rice, but they did put a custom neck on my partcaster that is by far the best neck I've ever played. Maybe I could be the club mascot?
Don't short-change yourself SF--I think the neck says more about the guitar than the rest of the parts put together.
Beautiful guitar you have there!
that pink Esquire is so sweet looking. I really want to hear that one.
Couldn't resist taking advantage of the October sale for a second Rice guitar, so I bought this one, #145, this week. I never thought of myself buying a somewhat "exotic" looking dark-colored tele like this, but it has everything going for it. It is semi-hollow mahogany, and this works so well, because the guitar is light (about 6.5 pounds) but doesn't feel like a feather. The mahogany gives it s substantial feel. The mahogany wood and neck seem to bring out the best in these Fralins Blues Specials. This is another guitar that is just blow away sweet to play and feel in person. I always have two guitars, and I have never had a pair that so completely met my needs and wants like these two Rices.
Congrats on your new Rice--I was looking *really* hard at that same guitar but thought I should wait just a bit after this purchase....good on ya for moving on it!!
Thanks again to everyone who has helped us along the way!
http://www.ricecustomguitars.com/instruments/images/040_1.JPG This is mine more of a parts guitar they did. very nice. I love it.
I own #052 and all I have to say is: WOW! WOW! WOW! It looks a lot like Springsteen's guitar, so I call it "The Boss"!
I had #105 out the other night, great success!
Join the group and post your guitar!

After three years of discussion, debate, and political manuevering in the legislature, Idaho now has a long overdue set of revised science standards. After the House Education Committee voted once again to remove one standard relating to climate change as well as supporting content from all of the standards, the Senate Education Committee voted to accept the revised standards in their entirety. With concurrence not required in this case, the action taken by the Senate Education Committee officially put the new standards on the books in Idaho.
A team of highly-regarded science educators drafted the standards and re-wrote them multiple times at the request of the legislature. IEA members Melyssa Ferro (Caldwell), Chris Taylor (Boise), Jamie Esler (Coeur d'Alene), and Tanya Elmer (West Ada) sat on the science standards committee and were instrumental in the adoption of the new standards. We asked them about the experience for this IEA REPORTER Q & A.
Q-Why was this work important for Idaho students and teachers?
A-(Esler) These new standards reflect the current state of scientific knowledge and skills that students absolutely need to become scientifically literate citizens, and hopefully, pursue a STEM career of their own. These standards ensure that teachers get to work with their students through active inquiry, scientific modeling, and engineering solutions for modern day problems. This is a wonderful upgrade for Idaho's classrooms!
(Ferro) We needed to make the transition from teaching science as a body of knowledge to teaching science as an active method of understanding the world around us. Bringing inquiry and critical thinking into our science classrooms meant taking a step back from teaching science as a noun and creating it as a verb instead.
Q-How did you become involved with the science standards committee?
A-(Ferro) I was first asked to serve on the science standards committee by the state science coordinator, Scott Smith. He was looking for award winning science teachers from various parts of the state of Idaho and given my recent nomination as a PAEMST (Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching) winner and state TOY (Teacher of the Year) winner, he was eager to have me join his committee.
(Taylor) I am the Science Supervisor for the Boise School district and four years ago our district started changing our standards to look more like the current Idaho Science Standards. I have spoken about science standards both regionally and nationally at various conferences, so I was excited to be part of the process. Teaching for 18 years in all grades from 2nd to 9th helped give me a good idea of the vertical alignment of the science standards.
Q-Describe the time, effort, and collaboration that went into drafting the standards.
A-(Taylor) After working with an amazing team the last three years it is so rewarding to have the standards passed as written. The team worked so hard writing and rewriting standards, putting on open public forums for discussion, intimately talking to legislators about the standards, and working with teachers and students to draft the best possible science standards for Idaho students.
(Ferro) Writing this set of science standards was not an easy or quick process. We were committed to creating a set of standards that were right for Idaho classrooms, so we spent hours examining each main idea through a variety of lenses, both content and grade level, until we could come to consensus. Once we crafted version 1.0 of the standards, we thought that we were finished but it took two more years of meetings and re-wording and re-crafting to bring them in line with something that could gain political approval. We walked a very frustrating tightrope between ensuring that the standards were accurate, factual, and represented current scientific understandings of our world, while at the same time reflecting the political climate of our state and the need to ensure that the standards were Idaho-centric and open to local control during implementation. Version 3.0 was about as far as we could bend that tightrope line.
Q-What were your primary objectives in drafting the new standards?
A-(Taylor) We wanted our new standards to be inquiry based where students are asking questions, collecting and analyzing data, creating models, drawing conclusions, and communicating their results. These are all skills that "real" scientists and engineers do every day. Our old science standards were content-based where these standards are performance- based.
(Esler) I wanted to do everything I possibly could with my knowledge and expertise in the area to get them passed. I don't think I could have slept at night if I didn't do that. The stakes were simply too high, and their (the legislature's) lack of proper judgement in addressing the standards was simply too alarming.
Q-Were you surprised by the pushback from the legislature? Frustrated by the process?
A-(Taylor) I personally spent many hours talking to both House Ed and Senate Ed legislators to try to understand what they were asking for, but I felt a few of them made this a political issue instead of what is best for our students. The committee consisted of 18 professionals from Idaho who were our top science teachers, district administrators, industry leaders, scientists, university faculty and parents. This was the best possible mix of adults to create quality standards that affect every student in Idaho.
(Ferro) It was difficult to feel like we were trying to hit a moving target and not really know what the legislators were looking for in our final product. Members of the House and Senate Education Committees were invited to every one of our meetings over the three-year period, but the only time we received any feedback from them was when the standards were in front of the committees during the session. Public comment was strongly in favor of our work, so it was hard to understand why we faced such strong pushback from a few members of each committee.
Q-Why was it critical that supporting content and standards related to climate change by included?
1.) The science of climate change is as accepted in the international scientific community as any other topic in the standards. Removing those standards, while keeping all the rest, would have sent a very poor signal to students. Instead, we needed both the standards AND supporting content in order for our students to learn that scientific facts result from scientific inquiry, exploration, and peer review. Scientific facts and scientific exploration: they are two sides of the same coin. Without one, you cannot have the other.
2.) Our state's economy and environment are both exceptionally vulnerable to the impacts of climate change that are currently happening and projected to continue to happen throughout the rest of the 21st century. As Idahoans, it is our duty to provide our future citizenry with the facts and knowledge they need to make informed decisions about natural resource use, land management, and urban development.
3.) We live in a globalized world, so understanding and preparing for the effects of climate change in Idaho is the first step. We need these standards to help our students understand that this is a global issue as well, and that responses to warming in Earth's systems in one place can cause feedback mechanisms to trigger responses in other places. A global understanding of climate change will be necessary for our students to be productive, empowered, and compassionate members of society throughout their adult lives.
(Taylor) Climate Change is happening – Most of the legislators I communicated with agreed with this statement. The issue is what is causing climate change. We incorporated both natural and human impacts to climate change and by the nature of the standards being performance-based, students would research and collect evidence to make their own claim from all the data. The supporting content was crucial to include because this helps teachers at all levels understand the performance tasks that students are asked to complete and be assessed on.
Q-What was your reaction when you heard the Senate Education Committee had voted to adopt the standards in their entirety?
A-(Taylor) Ecstatic! To prepare our students who will be entering universities and the job force worldwide with rigorous, performance-based standards will allow them to be more science literate and lead to greater success.
(Ferro) Relief. The standards are a crucial first step in updating Idaho science classrooms. Now that they are in place, we can move forward with updating our curricula, our assessments, and our professional development. We still have a lot of work to do, but it is great to feel like we are moving forward instead of backwards in this process!
(Esler) The most solid fist-pump I've given in a really long time.

Deadly diseases you can catch from animals - A number of today's diseases have been passed on to humans by animals. Many of these diseases, called zoonoses, can be deadly and continue to claim lives every year. From HIV to Ebola, find out which fatal diseases we have inherited from the animal kingdom.
HIV - AIDS didn't explode until the 1980s. But the HIV virus is said to have been passed on from chimpanzees to humans in the early 1900s.
HIV - The theory is that a Cameroonese hunter brought back an infected chimpanzee and while butchering the primate, cut himself, or had a open wound, through which the virus was transmitted.
BSE (mad cow disease) - Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, most commonly known as mad cow disease, is a neurodegenerative disease. The human variant is called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD).
BSE (mad cow disease) - The first case of vCJD was reported in the UK in 1996. European Union banned British beef between 1996 and 1999. A number of cases were then reported throughout the world.
H5N1 virus (bird flu) - Avian influenza H5N1 is most commonly known as bird flu.
H5N1 virus (bird flu) - H5N1 is deadly to most birds and it can be potentially fatal to humans too.

A 1974 penny is one of the higher-valued Lincoln varieties due to some unique types. This coin is worth $0.02 to $2,900 per piece. So you must understand your penny's version to get the best value for it.
The 1974 penny worth can be categorized according to the condition and type of coin. Here is all the information you require about this penny's value.
How Much Is 1974 Double Die Obverse Penny Worth?
How Much Is MS 67 1974 Penny Worth?
How Much Is 1974 Aluminum Penny Worth?
The minimum value of the 1974 penny is its face value of $0.01. However, the coin is mainly sold as per its copper weight in a circulated state. So the starting price of a 1974 penny with no mint mark is $0.02.
You will get about $1 for the same penny in an uncirculated condition and MS 65 grading. This value is also applicable to the 1974 D penny in an uncirculated state.
The 1974 S penny has a relatively higher worth because of the better quality. This coin has a value of $5 per piece in uncirculated condition and MS 65 grading.
Type Condition Grading Average Value
1974 Penny Uncirculated MS 65 $1.00
1974 D Penny Uncirculated MS 65 $1.00
1974 S Penny Uncirculated MS 65 $5.00
The 1974 proof is mainly available in the S mint mark category. This coin's starting price is $1.13 but may rise significantly. A proof penny with an error has a high worth than other coins.
Most proof pennies also sell for a higher price than the average value of MS 65 types. This is because the former coins are not circulated and are in better physical condition.
A 1974 penny with a double die obverse error has a high value of $400 per piece. This coin is rare because not all 1974 pennies have this error. So the penny is scarce and attracts more collectors.
You can confirm this error by checking the obverse side of your 1974 penny. The mint mark is minted twice on the coin giving a double appearance.
This error may also be present on the date of the penny. Typically, a 1974 S penny with double die error is more valuable than the type with no mark or D mark.
The 1974 penny with MS 67 grading is the rarest and most valuable variety of this series. However, this depends on the subtype. The 1974 penny in MS 67 grading is available with no mint mark and D mark.
If you have a 1974 D penny in MS 67 grading, you can earn about $475 per piece. The coin is valuable because of its high quality and luster.
The 1974 penny with no mint mark and MS 67 grading has a high worth of $2,900 per piece. This is because of the mint state and uncirculated condition. Such high values are mainly obtained by selling the coin at an auction.
Another 1974 penny variety that is valuable is the MS 66 coins. These are only available in the S category. The mint mark indicates that the penny was struck in San Francisco.
This coin has a value of $154 per piece. The worth is not as high as the MS 67 pennies because of the lower grading. Of course, some collectors may pay more than $154 depending on the physical condition of your coin.
The D penny and no mint mark pennies are not available in MS 66 grading. So you must avoid claiming your coins to be of such grading and scamming collectors. Remember, this will also help you avoid being scammed.
The 1974 aluminum penny is not an error penny. Instead, it was designed as a test currency to replace copper. These coins were struck on aluminum planchet, but the decision to circulate such pennies was revoked.
A 1974 aluminum penny is worth more than $200,000 per piece. However, you should avoid selling or buying this coin. It is illegal to sell or own 1974 aluminum pennies.
The authorities will intervene in your sale and seize the coin if you're found in possession of it. You may also face other legal consequences because of selling an illegal currency.

1. EUCLID (c. 300 BCE)
I begin with my favorite. We know very little about Euclid's life– even the years of his birth and death are completely lost to history. Yet, this one man made a bigger contribution to mathematics than any other person in history. Euclid collated and compiled vast and disparate principles of math and geometry into a single, logical, coherent format. He set the standard for mathematical proof and rigor which is utilized even to this day. His thirteen-volume Elements became the standard textbook on geometry in the Western world for over 2,000 years. Every great mathematician from his own day until the 19th Century learned their trade because of Euclid's contribution to the world.
2. HEROPHILOS (325-255 BCE)
Herophilos was one of the founders of the school of medicine in Alexandria. He held a view that knowledge must be ascertained upon the basis of empirical evidence, and as such, is considered one of the Fathers of the Scientific Method. His experiments in anatomy, including his pioneering and extensive dissection of human bodies, led to several incredible discoveries about the circulatory system. He was the first to determine that veins and arteries carry blood, alone (prior to this, it had been thought they carried blood, air, and water). He discovered the flow of blood through the vessels, and was the first to differentiate the veins and arteries on this criterion. He was the first physician to utilize the pulse of blood vessels diagnostically. His work was so prolific and accurate that it was oft-cited by Galen, centuries later, who is (in turn) still studied in the medical field, to this day.
3. ERASISTRATUS (304-250 BCE)
Along with Herophilos, Erasistratus was also a founder of the Alexandrian medical school. He, too, was keenly interested in the circulatory system, and gave the world its first description of the operations of the human heart. He also pioneered neurology, providing the earliest known descriptions of the cerebrum and cerebellum, as well as differentiating motor nerves from sensory nerves. He argued that food and water passed through the esophagus into the stomach, while others held that it passed through the trachea into the lungs. Indeed, Erasistratus is responsible for giving the trachea its modern name– before him, it had been thought to be an artery.
4. ARISTARCHUS OF SAMOS (310-230 BCE)
The brilliant mathematician and astronomer, Aristarchus of Samos, received his education in these sciences at Alexandria. His only surviving work attempted to determine the sizes and distances of the Sun and Moon in relation to the Earth. It's geometry is flawless, though a small error in one datum made its conclusions wildly inaccurate. Still, others would use Aristarchus' method to find incredibly accurate values for these questions. More amazingly, Aristarchus is the earliest person in history to suggest that the Earth is in motion around the Sun, rather than the reverse; and that the stars are so incredibly distant that we can observe no parallax from our motion.
5. ARCHIMEDES (287-212 BCE)
Though the details of his life are largely unknown, Archimedes of Syracuse is widely considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, and the Father of Engineering. He invented a myriad of innovative machines, including the Archimedean Screw, a type of water pump which is so simple and efficient that it is still in common use, even to this day. Archimedes' advances in the fields of physics and math were no less incredible. He laid the foundations for statics, hydrostatics, and the mechanics of leverage. He calculated an incredibly precise value for π using an ingenious method. He developed a method for determining the area under the arc of a parabola by a summation of infinite series– an accomplishment so far ahead of its time, it bears resemblance to the Calculus that would be discovered almost 2000 years later by Newton and Leibniz.
6. CTESIBIUS (285-222 BCE)
Quite possibly the first head of the Museum, Ctesibius made a career out of developing wonderful machines. He found intense fascination with the elasticity of air, and began to research the subject as exhaustively as possible. As a result, Ctesibius became the Father of Pneumatics. He developed water pumps which would find use in Roman irrigation and wells, and he improved the design of the water clock, which would remain the most accurate timekeeping device for the next 1800 years. If ever you run your car out of gas, and you need to siphon some fuel from a friend's tank, you can thank Ctesibius for developing the principle.
7. CONON OF SAMOS (280-220 BCE)
As the court astronomer to Ptolemy III Euergetes, Conon of Samos made a number of discoveries which would be critical to the work of mathematicians and astronomers who followed him. Conon made several advances in the study of conics, and purportedly discovered the Archimedean spiral. He wrote multi-volume astronomical treatises on eclipses and signs of the seasons. He also is the source of the name of the Coma Berenice constellation, "the Hair of Berenice," which he coined in tribute to the Pharaoh's wife.
8. ERATOSTHENES (276-195 BCE)
There exists a common myth that people all thought the Earth was flat until Columbus sailed west, in 1492, and failed to fall of the edge of the world. This is an ignominious falsity, however, which steals rightful glory away from a brilliant man, Eratosthenes of Cyrene. Not only did Eratosthenes prove that the world was round nearly 1700 years before Columbus set sail, he also formulated a remarkably accurate calculation for the circumference of the planet using only a couple of sticks and their shadows. Eratosthenes was one of the first men to realize the importance of maintaining accurate chronologies of history. His mathematical developments include advances in prime number theory which remain important, even in modern times.
9. APOLLONIUS OF PERGA (262-190 BCE)
One of the most important astronomers in history, Apollonius of Perga devoted a great deal of his study to discovering advances in dealing with conic sections. It is Apollonius who gave the names used even today for the ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola. He formulated deferent and epicyclic models for the orbits of the moon and planets which seemed to account for peculiar retrograde motions in the night sky. Apollonius' work was so valuable that it has been absolutely fundamental to every astronomer to have followed him, especially the great astronomers Johannes Kepler and Isaac Newton.
10. HIPPARCHUS (190-120 BCE)
Perhaps the most diligent observer of astronomical data in antiquity, Hipparchus of Nicaea set the standard for recording the celestial bodies. His catalog of stars and their positions in the night sky was the first of its kind, and his keen observation led to his discovery of the precession of the Equinox. His achievements were not restricted to simply monitoring the skies, however; Hipparchus made substantial advances in mathematics and geometry. He is considered to be the founder of Trigonometry, developing tables of trigonometric data and solving difficult problems of spherical trigonometry.
11. HERO (10 BCE – 70 CE)
Any good list of scientists considered to be "ahead of their time" must, inevitably, include Hero of Alexandria. Mathematician, inventor, and prolific teacher at the Museum, Hero provided the world with numerous contributions. In mathematics, he developed new methods for determining square roots and finding the area of a triangle. In physics, he continued Ctesibius' research on pneumatics and fluid pumps, eventually inventing the first steam engine. Most amazingly of all, in the 1st Century CE, Hero pioneered the construction of automata– the forerunner to modern robotics– including his design of a programmable, automatic wagon and his construction of an entirely automated theater play which ran ten minutes in duration. And he did all this 2000 years before the first modern computer was built!
12. PTOLEMY (90-168 CE)
As Euclid was to mathematics, Claudius Ptolemy was to astronomy. He compiled immense amounts of astronomical information together into a single work which began from first principles and built upon its previous knowledge until encapsulating all of the foremost knowledge of the Celestial Sphere of his day. Though he called these books his "Mathematical Treatise," they quickly became known to the Greek world as "The Great Treatise," due to their unparalleled brilliance. Today, the work is known primarily due to its preservation and usage by later Arabic astronomers, and so we refer to it as the Almagest. The thirteen books of the Almagest were so incredible that they remained the most accurate mathematical description of the motion of the heavenly bodies for almost 1500 years, until they were superseded by the work of Johannes Kepler.
13. DIOPHANTUS (201-285 CE)
Often referred to as the Father of Algebra, Diophantus is another in the long line of Alexandrian mathematicians whose work was so massively influential that it remains in use, today. His principle surviving written work is known as the Arithmetica, a sort of collection of his research on a multitude of mathematical problems. Diophantus was the first Greek mathematician to recognize that fractions are, themselves, numbers and not simply relationships between two other numbers. He developed new methods of notation and symbology with which mathematics became more precise and efficient, and which foreshadowed modern algebra. He discovered incredible methods of analysis, and greatly furthered the progress of number theory, in his time.
14. PAPPUS (c.290-350 CE)
As the flame of Western mathematics was dying, in the 4th Century Roman Empire, Pappus of Alexandria remained a glowing, hot coal. Unfortunately, he was underappreciated by his peers and much of his work has been lost, but that which remains is prolific. His Synagoge covers a wide range of mathematical topics, from recreational math to projective geometry. Indeed, one theorem which Pappus formulated in this latter field remains in use, today, known as Pappus' hexagon theorem. We are only able to give a date to his life thanks to his calculation, prediction, and observation of a solar eclipse, which we now know occurred on October 18, 320 CE.
15. THEON (c.320-395 CE)
Of all the men I have listed, Theon of Alexandria was the least innovative. He did not give us any breathtaking or groundbreaking new theorems or discoveries. However, Theon's contributions to history are still incredible. He was the consummate professor, and one of the last teachers at the Museum before its destruction at Christian hands in 391 CE. As such, he was incredibly well-read, and had mastered knowledge of a wide array of the mathematical text in Alexandria's Great Library. His great contribution to the world was in his preservation and dissemination of these texts. His editions of Euclid's Elements and Optics, as well as his commentaries on Euclid's Data and Ptolemy's Almagest and Handy Tables remain some of our only and prime sources for these works in their original Greek, even today.
17. HYPATIA (c.370-415 CE)
The daughter of Theon, Hypatia of Alexandria is a painful example of how one of history's most fantastic minds can be almost entirely lost to the world. Almost none of her works survive, and that which does survive is hotly contested among scholars. Hypatia lived at the end of the 4th Century and the beginning of the 5th Century, CE. She surpassed her father in mathematical skill, mastering the advanced works of Apollonius and Diophantus, and providing commentaries on each. She appears to have had a hand in editing her father's work on the Almagest, and may have discovered an efficient new method for performing long division. She was also a brilliant philosopher, and became head of the school of Plotinus in Alexandria, whereupon she taught everyone who had an ear to learn about Plato and Aristotle and the other great philosophers.
Hypatia eschewed normal gender roles, and became highly influential in the politics of her world. Her advice was highly prized by the governor of Alexandria, Orestes, and by her former student Synesius, Bishop of Cyrene. She was widely lauded for her virtue and her acumen, and she did not shy away from speaking at political assemblies. All this earned her the ire of Cyril, Bishop of Alexandria, and the firebrand Christians who followed him. As Cyril was embroiled in a bitter feud with Orestes, many of the bishop's zealous follower came to blame Hypatia for Orestes' refusal to submit. In 415 CE, a mob of angry Christians intercepted Hypatia on her way home and dragged her to the church called Caesareum, where they stripped her naked, beat her to death with stone tiles, and tore her body limb from limb before casting it to the flames.
The Most Important City in History
From it's inception in the 280's BCE to its destruction in 391 CE, the Museum at Alexandria was an unparalleled center of learning and discovery in the world. The contributions of its teachers and its students to geometry, number theory, physics, engineering, astronomy, and medicine are absolutely integral to the study of modern sciences. Alexandria's research and its Great Library taught the world the value of acquiring knowledge simply for knowledge's sake. If Alexander had not founded his great city by the sea, if Ptolemy I Soter had not commissioned its incredible Museum, or if the Great Library had never stocked its shelves, we may never have become the world that we are, today.

New Zealand Bride Moved to Tears by Wedding Haka
The footage of a New Zealand bride moved to tears by the haka performance at her wedding has become viral after being watched more than 19 million times.
Video of the Maori dance at the wedding of Aaliyah and Benjamin Armstrong is being widely shared on social media.
Aaliyah Armstrong, 21, said the haka was a sign of respect from her husband's best man and family not, as some have commented online, an attempt to intimidate him, the BBC reported.
A haka – with its shouting, body-slapping and exaggerated facial expressions – is used in traditional Maori culture as a war cry to intimidate the enemy, but also to welcome special guests and at celebrations.
The video was filmed at Aaliyah and Benjamin Armstrong 's wedding reception in Auckland last week.
In it, they watch with emotion as the groomsmen and guests surprise them with a heartfelt performance of the traditional dance, before joining in themselves.
Women do not normally perform the haka in Maori culture but Aaliyah Armstrong said they can do at weddings.
The nearly three-minute video ends with the couple emotionally embracing the performers.
The haka was organized by the 23-year-old groom's best man and was led by his older brother. It was filmed by her cousin's production company.
Aaliyah and Benjamin Armstrong, who live in Auckland, posted the video for friends and its popularity has taken them by surprise.
Comments on social media have focused on the strong emotions that the video arouses.

/ Gorman, Arthur Pue
Gorman, Arthur Pue
Gorman, Arthur Pue, 1839–1906, American legislator, b. Woodstock, Md. After serving from 1869 to 1879 in the Maryland legislature, he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1880. Gorman had by this time virtually become Democratic boss of Maryland. As chairman of the Democratic National Committee in 1884, he directed Grover Cleveland's successful campaign for the presidency. His share in the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act of 1894 consisted in leading a group of Senators, who, by adding over 600 amendments, turned the low-tariff Wilson Bill into a high-tariff act, as high as the act passed by the Republicans in 1883. Cleveland declared the bill a betrayal of the Democratic stand and denounced it, allowing it to become law without his signature. Gorman, who had become one of his party's leaders in the Senate, was defeated in 1898, but he was reelected again in 1903 and served as minority leader until his death.

What Has Joey Healy Been Up to Since The Singles Project?
April 21, 2016, 3:01 PM ET
#TheSinglesProject eyebrow guru gives an update on his love life.
We got to know Joey Healy very well throughout the course of The Singles Project. We were right there with him during the highs (like his adorable apple picking date) and the lows (like that time he got stood up).
So of course we're eager to hear what Joey has been up to since The Singles Project wrapped in 2014. Luckily, The Daily Dish caught up with Joey during The Real Housewives of New York City Season 8 premiere party earlier this month. He was there to support his good friend, RHONY alum Cindy Barshop, who also attended the bash, as well as the current cast members, including newbie Jules Wainstein. "I think that she's a worthy contender. And she's smart. She's studied past seasons," Joey said of RHONY's newest addition. "[She's] something a little different. I think she's going to be a good mix. I think that she'll hold her own."
Great time last night with date @cindybarshop at #RHONY season 8 premiere party! Fun seeing all my @bravtotv friends! @westleyharris @seanreives @countessluann @bobbyp_ @byronc42 @dorindamedley

As for Joey, he has mostly been all about "work, work, work" since appearing on The Singles Project. "[I've been] very busy with my eyebrow world. After The Singles Project, I just kind of threw myself into work," Joey told The Daily Dish. "I opened a new store in the West Village, Joey Healy Eyebrow Studio. It's bigger and better than ever. I'm expanding my product line."

And yes, Joey is "still single," but he said he is "still actively dating." His time on The Singles Project has even impacted how he approaches dating these days. "I think I learned to be a little bit more open, less judgmental," he said. "I'm also a little bit more confident now. If I could date a guy on television, I could go up to a guy at the gym. So I feel a little bit more confident in approaching men."
He has also experienced some personal growth after watching himself on The Singles Project. "It was just also nice to see myself reflected back," Joey said. "I think I probably corrected my behavior a little bit. I think I thought I seemed a little rude or uptight in certain moments, so maybe that was a good mirror to have. It was a good experience to sort of learn and adjust."
So would Joey ever do reality TV again? "I would. It was a lot of fun. You know, it was great for business. It was hard during the filming, to be honest with you. It was so much work. But all of the aftermath has been nothing but positive, and I think it was a really good experience," he said. "And I'd be open to doing it again if it ever came my way. It's a very funny thing. It's like a very mystical, little world. But I had a lot of fun."
And that's something that definitely comes through in this memorable moment from Joey's time on The Singles Project, below.

Why do you go on medication, and why/when do you go off of it?
One of the questions that regularly come up to me has to do with the ons and offs of medication. When and why do you go on medication, and when and why do you go off of them? While the two are related, they are not the same.
We go on medication simply put because we need it. There may be many factors which go into that decision. It may involve mood, basic functionality, self-image, the ability to handle situations or stress, being able to interact with other people, to keep us safe from ourselves or others. You know your own list. For myself, I knew I had to go on medication when I found myself hating the things that I love: my family, my wife, my vocation as pastor, even my hobbies and the things that I enjoy became a burden. I couldn't handle living any longer, and so something had to change. While one can go the route of simply counseling or natural remedies, in my view and after much reading on the topic, I simply haven't found any cure or natural remedy or counseling method that is more effective than anti-depressants. Can you go other routes? Yes. Can they be effective? Yes. But I don't believe that they will work as quickly or as well as modern anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medication, and the body of research seems to continue to support that view.
That's why I went on medication, both initially and that's why I went on them the second time.
1. I don't want to become addicted.
2. I don't want to be on medication for the rest of my life.
3. Taking medication makes me feel weak or out of control of my own body.
4. I don't like the side effects.
5. I can't afford to take them anymore (iow, money or insurance problems).
6. I have found a better alternative way of treatment.
Now out of that list (and I look forward to hearing yours), four of them are basically emotional responses to medicine (wants and likes and feelings), one is money based, the the final one is experimenting with others ways of treatment.
But remember that initial reason on why we go off medication: we go off medication because we no longer need it. Unless you are a doctor, it is very unlikely that you will be able to determine when you no longer need it, since the medicine working is what makes you have a normal, functional life in the first place.
So how do you know when you don't need the medication? Here's a tip: you can't know by yourself. You're not a doctor, you're not a pharmacist, you're not God. It takes outside evidence. It takes some level of expertise that most of us do not have. It's why God gives us doctors and nurses and medication in the first place.
2. Talk to your doctor about the possibility of going off medication.
4. Talk to your spouse about it, and anyone else whom you trust that may have some wisdom on the subject.
6. Talk to your doctor about it AGAIN.
7. Then come up with a reasonable timetable and a way of evaluating what changes happen as a result of going off the medication.
One thing is for sure. Don't willy nilly try to do this. Don't just decide you are going to "see how you feel" by stopping to take it for a while. That is just not wise.
If you are desperate, send me an email and we'll talk about it directly. I'm happy to pool my wisdom/foolishness with yours.
THIS is an EXCELLENT and well-thought out post. I am thankful to you.
PS: Your's is one of the most friendly 'blogs' of any I have visited. When we are depressed &/or in pain, the smallest thing can be insurmountable. For a non-techie like me, you have made receiving and replying to your 'blog' a breeze.
This is wise counsel. If you are feeling well (not necessarily euphoric) and are functioning, then the meds are probably, to some extent, the reason. Perhaps you don't need them any longer. But the strongly cautious approach of this blogger is correct. If they're working, then you are taking a risk by going off of them. Why experiment with your mental health? It's hard enough for many people to find meds that work consistently.
Not unlucky! Remember that the diabetic has to do the same in most cases. Just think of it as a daily reminder that God moves outside of Himself into His creation to accomplish salvation. It's how I think of my medicine!
I appreciated BMC's comment. It just occurred to me, after reading it, that some people need glasses all their lives, some need wheelchairs, some need walking sticks (canes), others need hearing aids. None of these (at least to my mind) have the stigma that medications do. I, too, am one of those that may need (perhaps revolving) lifelong medications. My attitude has been one of resentment ('to have to take them'), than gratitude ('that there are meds that can help me function'). You have sparked my gratitude. Thank you.
I'm still trying to figure out how "don't like the side effects" is an emotional response about what I may or may not like. I mean, if the side effects are minor enough that taking the meds easily outweighs the side effects, okay. But sometimes the detrimental side effects are greater than the benefits gained. Ditching the meds in that case doesn't seem an emotional response.
One that I would add for the ladies out there… most SSRI's are categorized as a Pregnancy Class C drug (though lately Prozac has been upgraded to Class B). Not to sound like a pharmacy drug label, but if you are planning on getting pregnant, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding, make sure to talk to your doctor!
I see your point. However, there are lots of side effects that I don't like. But somehow I have to get past liking or disliking things and move toward a more stable way of evaluating the benefit/risk of various medications. Certainly there are times to go off medication. That's not the point. The point, rather, is that going off medication should not be a willy nilly, day by day, emotionally laden process. It should be done carefully, and in consultation with your doctor.
you can't possibly know how to interpret your own body… you diddn't go to school for it.
