I often get asked whether there are guides or tour companies offering proper, non-tourist caving trips in Thailand. There are very few specialist cave guides or companies running 'proper' caving trips.
Listed below are the companies that I know about. I would be very interested to hear from any other guides or tour companies and I will happily add your details to the the list.
NOTE: these tour companies have not been vetted, checked or endorsed. I can not guarantee the quality of the tour or the safety standards of the operators. Caveat emptor.
In the north of Thailand the best bet for advice on caving is probably Cave Lodge in Mae Hong Son. This is run by a very experinced Aussie caver who can rent you equipment, advise on the caves to visit and arrange guides if required.
At Tham Mae Lana in Mae Hong Son the local villagers run a guiding service into the upstream entrance of Tham Mae Lana and other nearby caves such as Tham Pakarang.
In Chiang Mai there is Chiang Mai Rock Climbing Adventures. Their website only mentions caving courses, not guided trips, which are held at Crazy Horse Buttress a few kilometres to the south-east of Chiang Mai.
Near Chiang Dao Cave in Chiang Mai the Chiang Dao Nature Resort can organise guides and transport to nearby caves such as the 2 km long Tham Ki Mi.
Although the tourist brochures found in Chiang Mai for The Peak Adventure lists a three day trip to the 100m deep Spirit Well (Bor Nam Phi) in Mae Hong Son this trip is not mentioned on their website (NB: this website is also flagged as a threat by AVG).
Nearer to Bangkok is Saraburi Adventure. This company is Thai run, but the director speaks good English. The website only mentions trips to a single long stream cave in Saraburi.
Hyperventure, another Thai run company, advertise tours to Tham Nam Lot Ti Pu Che in Kanchanaburi and Spirit Well (Bor Nam Phi) in Mae Hong Son.
In the south of Thailand the options are a lot more limited and I don't know of any companies running caving trips. More adventureous trips beyond the normal show cave tour can be arranged with the guides at Tham Khlang near Krabi. On Ko Lanta Mr Lek, the original guide at Tham Mai Kaeo, will still lead parties to wild caves nearby. He can be contacted on 0870 506086.

Vaccinating Texas: Why Signing Up For A Vaccine Isn't Like Waiting In Line At The Grocery Store
With all Texans over the age of 16 now eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, Texas Standard is asking listeners about their experiences with finding and getting the shot.
By Laura RiceApril 2, 2021 12:56 pmCoronavirus, Health & Science
More than 25% of Texans have had at least one COVID-19 shot. About 14% are fully vaccinated. It's a slow and steady tick in the right direction but Texas is still lagging at the bottom in these numbers compared to other states.
The Texans we heard from this past week confirmed some trends we've seen emerging in our vaccine tracking project.
Claudia Briseño, 42, Frisco – first dose
"I have diabetes as a preexisting condition. And for a while now, my husband and I have been trying to get vaccinated through the city of Frisco."
The available appointments filled up quickly. That's when Briseno and her husband took another step we've heard about from a lot of Texans – they looked outside their immediate community and drove about 20 miles to a pharmacy in Richardson.
"It was through my husband's brother. He found out about a pharmacy that had an excess of vaccines and they wanted to use them… So my husband and I drove there, filled out their vaccine form, and we were in and out of there and 20 minutes."
We've heard from Texans who have traveled from Dallas to Amarillo, or Austin to Corpus Christi to get their vaccine. Early on in the vaccine distribution process, this was frowned upon. But the general feeling these days seems to be, just get it if and where you can.
Also like others we've heard from who have broken through the frustration and confusion, Briseño chalks up her experience to luck.
"I do believe that we were lucky in the sense that we knew somebody that had a way of getting the vaccine."
Elena Foulks, 16, Galveston – first dose
That lucky feeling is multiplied for those who've only just become eligible for the vaccine.
"I got a text message actually saying I could sign up for a waiting list. So I did. And then a couple of weeks later, I got an email about open appointment times and telling me to schedule an appointment. So I showed my mom and she set up an appointment and I got my first shot and it was really like a hassle-free, they-came-to-me process and I'm not really sure how it happened."
And with this lucky feeling comes, again, feelings of confusion and maybe even a little guilt.
"I didn't actively have to try really hard to get my vaccine. I just, I don't really know. It was kind of strange. Like all my other friends, only one of them has it, has the first shot and everyone else is trying to get it. But I don't know. And they're asking me for help, but I don't really know what I did to get it before everyone else."
Laura Rice, 36, Dripping Springs — first dose
I got my first dose on Monday – the first day of my eligibility. I got an appointment, like Claudia Briseño, thanks to a tip from my husband's friend. Otherwise, I was expecting just to wait my turn in line.
But that's the thing. There's not just one line. And it's not like the grocery store where you can easily see how many people are in which line and if you hop from one to the other you lose your place in the old line. So if you're like one of my coworkers and only checking one place, it's likely you're not really doing what you need to do which is, ultimately, be a part of everyone getting a vaccine as quickly as possible.
But the flip side is this – are there still especially at-risk people who haven't gotten vaccinated? Are there people who have been putting their names on every list but who still haven't made it to the top of any of them?
That's exactly why we've created a space for you to share your vaccine story. I hope you will.

WOMEN'S SOCCER: Bemidji State's 3 seed the latest step in rise to national power
Bemidji State earned the No. 3 seed in the Central Region for the NCAA Tournament. But the drama-free berth to the national tourney is far from where the program has been previously.

By Micah Friez
BEMIDJI -- In the early 2000s, some Bemidji State students heard a knock at their doors. Waiting for them to answer was Jim Stone, desperate to find enough players for his new team.
"I think I was hired about six weeks before the season began," said the BSU women's soccer head coach. "There were two failed searches, so I was like the last choice. They brought me up here, and here I am 20 years later."
The days of ragtag rosters are long gone now. In Stone's 20-year tenure, the Beavers have risen to a national power. The latest example of proof came Monday, when the team earned the No. 3 seed in the Central Region of the NCAA Tournament.
"To go from literally posting signs in dorms to getting to this point, it's pretty phenomenal and pretty humbling," Stone said. "It's been a great journey."

Bemidji State will face sixth-seeded Central Oklahoma in the first round at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 19, on a neutral pitch in Emporia, Kan. While BSU doesn't know much yet about a new opponent residing 1,000 miles away, the Beavers are optimistic about their postseason path.
"This team, I really don't have any words for how far we've come," senior midfielder Megan French said. "We've all greatly improved individually and as a team. We haven't hit our peak yet, and I'm excited to see where we can go with it."
A program holding national championship hopes is a far cry from the program Stone inherited in 2002.

That team had to forfeit its first game of the year. Finally they convinced two women's hockey players to join -- with one of them even scoring during a 3-1 win in the season opener. But the hockey players soon returned to the ice, and the soccer team faced lopsided losses while still battling shortages on the frontlines.
"I remember one game, I hadn't seen a kid in like two weeks," Stone said. "Well, she shows up to pregame. And she ended up starting for us. It was an experience that I'll never forget and one that I never want to partake in again."
Those are certainly not days Stone misses.
"I was kind of concerned because I was only on a one-year contract," he said. "I'm like, 'What's going on here?' I was tenured where I was, too. I was thinking, 'Did I make the right choice?' Our (old) house hadn't sold yet. I'm like, 'Do I just take off and go home?' It was a really, really stressful time."
Stone survived his first season and even stuck around. By 2004, Bemidji State had double-digit wins for the first time ever. And the program has zero losing records since 2005, and they've made the NCAA Tournament in three of the past four seasons.
Oh, and as for recruiting, Stone's not going door-to-door anymore.
"Coach played a big role in why a lot of us want to come and play here," junior midfielder Maggie Cade said. "He is a Godly man and he treats everyone with respect and love. You know that he cares about you."
The Central Region field

Central Missouri pulled down the No. 1 field in the region, while Emporia State jumped BSU for the No. 2 seed. The Beavers (18-1-2) dropped to No. 3 after losing to Minnesota State in Sunday's NSIC Tournament championship game .
"God has a plan for us, whatever we do accomplish," Cade said. "We just want to make it as far as we can and do that by playing our game, trusting in ourselves and what our coaches tell us."
The Mavericks earned the No. 4 seed as the only other NSIC team in the field. They'll face fifth-seeded Oklahoma Baptist in the opening round. Seventh-seeded Northwest Missouri State and eighth-seeded Southwestern Oklahoma snuck in with the final two spots in the region.
Undoubtedly, the Beavers will have plenty of former players hoping to cheer them through the region.
"Our alumni are still a big part of this program," French said. "They're still a part of who we are today, and they've built the program into what it is."

Turcke to NFL, Lennox upped at Bell Media
The media company has announced a change in its upper ranks as Mary Ann Turcke leaves after 12 years.
By Val Maloney
Bell Media has been appearing alongside the NFL in headlines in recent months thanks to the Super Bowl simsub case. But today, the two companies are linked because the media co's president has left for the league.
Mary Ann Turcke has accepted a position with the NFL as president of digital media and the NFL network. Turcke will be based in Los Angeles in the new role.
Randy Lennox takes over as president of Bell Media, leading strategy and operations for the media company effective immediately. Lennox most recently worked as president of content and broadcasting at Bell Media. He joined Bell Media in 2015, previously working as president and CEO of Universal Music.
Since joining Bell Media, Lennox has been responsible for deals including bringing iHeartRadio to the Canadian market.
Turcke had been with Bell for the past 12 years, working on the telco side before being named president of media sales, local TV and radio in mid-2015 and then president of Bell Media shortly thereafter.

What Is Manchin's Next Move?
(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik)
After effectively killing the Build Back Better Act, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is getting attacked by his own party for his "betrayal."
The White House blasted Manchin on Sunday. "Senator Manchin's comments this morning on FOX are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement. "Just as Senator Manchin reversed his position on Build Back Better this morning, we will continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position yet again, to honor his prior commitments and be true to his word."
"This session has also led to moments of deep discontent and frustration," Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a letter to fellow Senate Democrats Monday. "That frustration was evident in the past week as nearly all of us were disappointed by the decision to delay floor consideration of the Build Back Better Act because Senator Manchin could not come to an agreement with the president."
As much as the Democrats were hoping for Manchin to get on board with their big-government socialist spending plan, attacking Manchin for not saving Build Back Better seems like a bad strategy. Back in October, there were rumors that Manchin was considering leaving the Democratic Party. Manchin dismissed the rumors, saying, "I can't control rumors, and it's bull****." However, he did acknowledge that he's approached "every day" about switching parties and has said that it probably would be "easier" to join the GOP than remain a Democrat.
RELATED: White House and the Left Get Nasty After Manchin Blows Up Biden Presidency
"It would be much easier, my goodness," Manchin said. "But is that the purpose of being involved in public service, because it's easy?"
Even CNN analyst and former Democrat staffer Kirsten Powers thinks he should switch parties and become an Independent or a Republican.
So, is this a possibility?
According to Axios, sources close to Manchin say he is more likely to switch his affiliation to independent and caucus with the Democrats instead of becoming a Republican. This makes sense: it wouldn't really change the current dynamic of the U.S. Senate, as it would leave Democrats in control of the chamber, and, according to Kirsten Powers, it would "be very clarifying because he's not opposing this bill based on any issues that any Democrat wouldn't support."
That might work for Manchin, as he's up for reelection in 2024, and by becoming an independent, he doesn't risk losing in a primary to a more progressive Democrat like Senator Joe Lieberman did in 2006. Becoming an independent on his own terms is certainly better than doing so after losing a primary. But, seeing as his state overwhelmingly supported Trump in 2020, and Manchin barely won reelection in 2018, becoming a Republican is likely his safest move if he chooses to switch parties at all. That's still an unlikely prospect, but for the moment, it seems that the White House and key Democrats might force his hand.

Freaky Flint History with Joe Schipani - Losing Custody October 12th, 1930 #freakyflinthistory
Flint is well known for its modern violent crimes but Flint's history is filled with little known stories that read stranger than fiction. Gruesome murders, weird accidents, and violent deaths. Join us every Thursday as Joe Schipani details some of the odd but true deaths he found in Flint's archives.
Losing Custody October 12th, 1930
Kris Aagesen lived on Beech Street in a small housekeeping room he rented with his six year old son, Cliston. He and his wife had been divorced for over a year. Kris obtained custody of Cliston because his wife was unstable and moved out of state with another man. Kris had been laid off from the Fisher Body plant for a couple months.
Kris discovered that his ex-wife had returned to Flint and wanted custody of their son. Kris panicked. He knew there was no way a judge would give him custody again now that he was laid off and had no idea when he would return to work.
On the night of October 12, 1930 Kris took his son into their bedroom, laid him on the bed and started slashing his throat. After he was sure the boy was dead, he took the razor and cut his wrists.
The people who owned the house heard the screams and started running to the room. Mr. Mikesell opened the door to find the two lying in a pool of blood on the bed. The boy was already dead, but Kris was still alive.
Mr. Mikesell hollered for his nurse to call for help. He then asked Kris why would he do such a thing. Kris responded he didn't want his wife to get custody of their son and this was the only way to stop her.
By the time the police arrived, Kris was dead.

Jalen Ramsey & Myles Jack Interview
Top NFL Draft Picks Reveal How They Deal With Intense Pressure (Like They'll Be Facing This Week)
Paul Eide
What's it like to sit down in a meeting with New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and sell yourself? How do you convince Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones that he should put several million dollars of his money directly into your pocket?
Projected top 10 NFL draft picks Jalen Ramsey and Myles Jack are less than a week away from the biggest day of their lives.
For football fans, the only insight into the life of an NFL prospect in the days leading up to the draft are quick blurbs and video highlights of "newsworthy" items. But for All-American cornerback Ramsey and All-Pac-12 linebacker Jack, they are living it all day, every day.
The process of transitioning from stud college football players to first round draft picks began for Ramsey and Jack after the final college game of the 2015 season — and will not end until the NFL Draft begins on April 28th.
How have they dealt with the pressure and endless speculation? Ramsey and Jack teamed up with Speed Stick's Coach #Speedman (Office Space and Scrubs star John C. McGinley), who showed them how to take all the preparation they've done and ram it down self-doubt's throat.
We spoke to Jalen and Myles and asked them what the draft process is really like behind the scenes, about viewing NFL icons as potential employers, and performing under the most intense pressure imaginable.
AskMen: What's the biggest thing fans don't realize about the draft process?
Myles Jack: The way the combine works, most definitely. People don't realize how many meetings you have to go through, how much sleep you don't get. You have to be at this place, then that place and get in time to train between meetings.
To meet these coaches…you've got to be honest with them. They ask about mistakes you've made and you have to be a man and tell them what you have and have not done. And you have to tell them why they should draft you. That's big pressure because that's life-changing. To have to sell yourself — that's a lot of pressure. You have to step into a man's world.
Jaylen Ramsey: The biggest misconception people have is what the overall NFL combine experience actually consists of. All everybody sees is the 40-yard dash and the vertical jump, the broad jump, and some field drills. But like Myles said, it is way more than that. The on-field stuff is really the last part of it. By the time we're actually on the field, we are just worn out.
AM: What's it like to meet NFL coaches and notable personnel people and view them as potential employers?
MJ: The most enjoyable part of the combine was actually seeing coaches that you'd grown up watching on TV. And now, they're face to face with you! For example, being in a meeting with Sean Payton, or (Denver Broncos Defensive Coordinator) Wade Phillips. It's a surreal moment to be sitting there and think, "Wow, this man could be coaching you." It's cool, it's actually really cool.
JR: I think people mistake confidence as arrogance and cockiness. Being an elite football player and a potential top draft pick, you have to play with confidence on the field. And that's something you notice when you meet all these guys you grew up watching, like Myles mentioned. They all have that. You have to believe that you're the best. That the best team should pick you and want you on their team. It's a mindset you have to have and it can rub people the wrong way. And they can sometimes perceive that as arrogance. But at the end of the day, we know who we are as people, we know the support system we have around us, and we remain humble.

Initial Thoughts on 'Who's Afraid of Postmodernism?' @BakerAcademic
Craig Falvo
Books,Philosophy
This isn't going to be a actual book review, but rather will be my thoughts and observations as I read through the book.
I don't know too much about postmodernism as a philosophy, so I picked up this book to hopefully learn a little more about the postmodermism.
The philosophies of French thinkers Derrida, Lyotard, and Foucault form the basis for postmodern thought and are seemingly at odds with the Christian faith. However, James K. A. Smith contends that their ideas have been misinterpreted. In an introduction and four fulsome chapters, Smith unpacks the primary philosophical impulses behind postmodernism, demythologizes its myths, and demonstrates its affinity with core Christian claims. Each of his accessible chapters includes an opening discussion of a recent representative film and a closing "tour" of a postmodern church in case study form–with particular application to the growing "emerging church" conversation.
Why is it that I want to learn more about postmodernism? In my time as a blogger, it has become apparent that most people talking about postmodernism have no idea what they are talking about.
The notion of postmodernism is invoked as both poison and cure within the contemporary church. To some, postmodernity is the bane of Christian faith, the new enemy taking over the role of secular humanism as object and fear and primary target of demonization. Others see postmodernism as a fresh wind of the Spirit sent to revitalize the dry bones of the church. (Location 168-171)
The extreme positions that people take concerning postmodernism amazes me. This is especially true in Lutheranism. On one hand, the ELCA appears to embrace postmodernism, while all other Lutheran denominations demonize it. But I wonder how many people in the church misunderstand postmodernism. Hopefully this book will shed some light on the subject for me. Looking forward to reading it.

Damien says:
One thing that's become clear to me is that the "postmodernism" that conservatives always warn us about is virtually non-existent. Sure, you might find a few old continental philosophy professors who subscribe to something a bit like it, but, at the end of the day, most people are still firmly within the confines of modernism. I've spent close to a decade studying and conducting research at a large European university. I'm a linguist, but we're in the same department as English and Modern Literature types. In these 10 years, I've met exactly ONE student (and zero academics) who was anything like the "post-modern" people that I keep hearing bad things about. And she was not even a good example, since she seemed to believe in all sorts of things being "right" and "wrong".
My best explanation so far is that some people were told "yeah, I guess religion works for you but not for me", and thought that this was a deep reflection on the nature of truth, when in fact it just meant "alright, we all know you believe nonsense but I'm gonna be nice and polite about it". Then people spent a lot of time telling everyone how Christianity was like medication and not ice-cream and was objectively true, when in fact most people wanted nothing to do with it because they were convinced that it had been proven false by science or offered bad moral values (slavery, male domination, genocide, etc.).
Know More Than I Should says:
Since post-modernism is evolving, its precise definition has not congealed. That said, I would suggest some aspect of the post-modern delineation involves critical examination of that which preceded it. After all, for at least the past century, humankind has been swamped with a tsunami of technological and philosophical innovation that the species has not had time to sort out.
Put another way, post-modernism may serve the same purpose as an academic sabbatical as a time for analysis, contemplation, and reflection at one of those myriad crossroads that dot human history. Although oversimplified, a possible working definition of post-modernism may simply be: Where do we go from here?
Craig Falvo says:
That could very well be the case.
It is usually much easier to understand the past than it is to foresee the future. That's why history tends to be more accurate than prophesy.
David Barnes says:
All I will say is that I found this little book a helpful introduction into three different strands of Post Modernist thought. The thesis of the book is that the gospel can be explained in terms that make it easier for people who are influenced by post modernism to understand and that Christians should not shy away from post modernism as if it were some kind of intellectual version of smallpox but try to understand it so as to better communicate the gospel.
What I've read so far has been helpful.
Although purely speculative at this point, it is within the realm of possibility that post-modernism represents a shift from deontological (universal) to consequential (situational) ethics. Put another way, post-modernism may introduce more shades of gray, although not necessarily 50 shades thereof, at the expense of black and whites into the decision-making process. If true, this would profoundly affect both the established legal framework and traditional religious precepts. It would also drive conservatives up the proverbial wall.
I would argue that conservatives have also made the shift to situational ethics. They just deny the charge.
While I can see why you would reach your conclusion, there is too much information to the contrary for me to accept it.
Although conservatism is admittedly fraying around the edges in the current political climate, research (Social Psychological and Personality Science, 2013) suggests that conservatives front load the decision-making process and ignore consequences. For example, even:
* If impregnation results from incest or rape, conservatives are more inclined to believe abortion is always wrong.
* Before the Supreme Court announced its impending (as I write) decision on gay marriage, conservatives were broadcasting their intent to defy any ruling running counter to their definition of marriage.
Research (Current Biology, 2011) further suggests that the cognitive typography of conservatives is fundamentally different from that of liberals. Whereas conservatives tend to have a more pronounced amygdalae, liberals tend to have a better developed anterior cingulate cortex. As a result, conservatives are inclined to be more emotional and less able to handle change.
Conservatives also tend to have a more pronounced startle reflex (Motivation and Emotion, 2011). In other words, conservatives spook more easily than liberals.
Thus, while some conservatives may be engaging in political expediency in their struggle to further their agenda, there are also profound constraints on their ability to go with the flow.
John C. Poirier says:
In contrast to the others leaving comments here, I find postmodernism to be incompatible with Christian theology.
In fact, I wrote a response to this book, available as a PDF at http://files.wts.edu/uploads/images/files/69.1.Poirier.Response%20to%20James%20KA%20Smith.pdf .
I should explain why I published this response in the *Westminster Theological Journal* rather than in a more mainstream journal. I am *not* a fundamentalist, or even an evangelical, but, in my previous attempts to publish something in the area of theology, I had been treated very unprofessionally by the editors of theological journals (as opposed to biblical studies journals). When these editors didn't like my stance, tried to kill my work by taking more than a year (!) to make a decision on whether to publish it. (After a year or more, of course, they declined.) The worst offender on this score was the editor of *Zygon*, who took *more than two years* to make a decision, and then turned me down on the pretext of something he found disagreeable *in a single sentence* (!!). After that type of abuse, I decided, after writing my critique of Smith, that I would rather send it somewhere likely to accept it (even if it's WTJ) than to take my chances with a more mainstream theological journal.
I tend to agree. Questioning is often seen as incompatible with faith. Agnostics and skeptics are frequently viewed with suspicion by true believers in any field. Even beyond the realm of religion, especially in the arenas of academics and politics, contrary precepts are seldom welcomed with open arms.


Mlechnyi Put – Milky Way. This is the name of the latest and most exclusive product from the renowned Russian distillery "Mordovspirt" in Saransk. This is an extraordinary vodka in every sense of the word, based on a unique, strictly guarded recipe that uses "alpha alcohol". This is a drinking alcohol of the purest and highest grade. "Alpha"is referred to by the producer as a "fifth generation vodka" despite the fact that the fourth-generation base product, "Vodka LUX", for whose production the finest distillates were used from best quality raw materials, is almost unsurpassable in quality and purity.
However, »alpha« is much more than just another step in the quality scale. This top product undergoes a total of eight high-efficiency filtering and refining processes – including silver filtration and an advanced refining process using lactoprotein – until the raw product attains such a high level of purity and refinement that is rarely found among spirits such as these. These properties predestine "alpha" as the base for the most exclusive vodkas on the market.
In actual fact, the "Mlechnyi Put" is a vodka with a unique taste and a full, lingering aroma that blossoms on the tongue and in the throat. It charms experts in the trade as well as habitués and newcomers alike. A vodka so pure that it would be sacrilegious to down in one gulp as old traditions dictate. Rathermore, it should be placed cold on the tongue, drunk in small sips, and enjoyed slowly and deliberately to allow the full aroma to develop in the mouth and palate.
The exclusive taste also merits a special presentation: A cylindrical bottle with many extras – including a space to indicate the correct drinking temperature and a bottle transparency with an image resembling the Milky Way – held at top and bottom in two bright metallic cylinders giving the package the impression of a space vehicle.
In addition, the bottle has two safety systems to protect it from piracy and unauthorized changes in content: A tamper evident seal which prevents the unnoticed first opening of the bottle, and an ultraviolet-sensitive graphic element affixed to the label.
"Mlechnji Put" was the enormous sensation at the "ProdExpo 2007" exhibition where it received the highest award, the »ProdExpo Golden Star«. This success was repeated with no less grandeur at "ProdExpo 2008" and "ProdExpo 2009". To judge by all reactions so far from connoisseur circles in the West, it is expected that the product will unleash the same positive response as it has enjoyed so far in its country of origin.
Drinking alcohol of the highest quality state »alpha«, specially treated spring water from artesian wells filtered several times, refined with special aromas and consolidated in the final distillation.

Metro Phoenix Spring 2021 Events: What's Happening, What's Canceled, and What's Going...
Wasted Ink Finds a New Location, and More Metro Phoenix Art News
DJ Tambe Is Scottsdale's Newest Ink Master Tattooing Star
Josh Chesler
| Interviews |
Josh Chesler | July 20, 2017 | 7:00am
Bubba Irwin (left) and DJ Tambe (right) are taking the world by storm through a popular TV show.
If you're one of the millions of people who tune in to Ink Master on Spike every Tuesday evening, you're probably already familiar with the names Bubba Irwin and DJ Tambe. As the Scottsdale-based team currently dominating the popular reality TV show, the Old Town Ink duo have made the Valley proud week after week.
Like every other team on this season of Ink Master, Irwin is a returning veteran of the series, while Tambe is the newcomer. And though the former — who's also the local shop's owner — is already a known commodity thanks to his previous time on the show, Tambe himself is far from a rookie in the tattoo industry. Even after over 20 years as a tattoo artist, the traveling artist still can't forget his humble beginnings.
"I was kind of an out-there kid, and I was interested in stuff like skateboarding and art ever since I was real young," Tambe says. "I got a tattoo myself when I was about 14, and then I went to school with it where all my friends could see it. Then I started tattooing my friends out of their houses, and I just got started from there."

A post shared by djtambe (@djtambe) on Jul 12, 2017 at 8:12am PDT
As far as Tambe has come from tattooing his teenage friends in their parents' homes, the veteran tattooer still sees Ink Master as a possible turning point in his career. He's been featured in a couple of smaller television programs, but there are few opportunities in tattooing as grand as starring on a major cable network's hit show. For all of the flak the show may catch for some of the misrepresentations of tattooing, the boost in popularity its participants get is undeniable.
"I've been trying to get on Ink Master since season two, so this is awesome," Tambe says. "I've done some other TV stuff before, so I'm a little bit used to it, but this opens a lot of doors and has just been very positive."
While some tattooers may struggle with the time limits and other impediments the show throws at the artists, the only issue Tambe has encountered is this season's new twist that both artists on the team must work on a single tattoo.
Of course, Tambe wouldn't have agreed to do it if he and Irwin weren't already good friends and confident in each other's work, but that doesn't mean it's easy for either artist to give up the reins on their own artwork halfway through the process.
"The time limits and stuff like that have never bothered me, so it's kind of like a normal day for me," Tambe says. "I'm used to working and creating stuff pretty fast, so that was nothing really new. Being under the eye constantly and the whole partner thing were the hardest things for me. Being in the middle of a tattoo and then having to get up, switch, and give your art to somebody else is pretty crazy."
Considering that he was tattooing long before the medium was ever on television, Tambe has watched as his career and livelihood has gone from a subculture frowned upon by the masses to the subject of one of the highest-rated shows on cable. But rather than focusing on the popularity and journey into mainstream culture, the tattoo artist who splits time between Scottsdale and Las Vegas is far more interested in how tattooing has improved as an art form. Gone are the days when tattooing was simply a trade for bikers and gang members. Now, it's considered as artistic as any other style you might see in a museum.
"I've seen it to turn into a better medium of art," Tambe says of how tattooing has changed over the last two decades. "I'm seeing things now that people didn't think were possible back then or that would take two years to paint and we're turning it around in five or six hours. It's grown into this huge art form and it's not frowned upon anymore. It's pretty crazy."

Carrier to complete Toshiba Carrier jv purchase early August
Home/News Headlines, World News/Carrier to complete Toshiba Carrier jv purchase early August
USA: Carrier has revealed that the acquisition of Toshiba's 60% stake in the Toshiba Carrier joint venture is expected to be completed in early August.
Speaking during today's second quarter financial results announcement, which reported organic sales up 7%, Carrier chairman and CEO David Gitlin said the company was excited at the opportunities that the combined Carrier and Toshiba Carrier Corporation portfolio and enhanced market position would present in the "fast-growing" VRF, light commercial and heat pump markets.
The sale, reported to be valued at around $870m, will bring to an end the Japanese/US joint venture agreement signed in 1999.
Carrier's second quarter sales of $5.2bn were down 4% compared to the prior year driven by the Chubb divestiture, but organic sales grew 7% over the same period.
Sales strength continued in the HVAC segment, with North America residential and light commercial up double-digits in the quarter. Commercial HVAC strength also continued, with orders up double digits for the sixth consecutive quarter. Refrigeration sales were up 9% organically, with both transport and commercial refrigeration up high single-digits.

The Rigveda, however, does not describe yoga, and there is little evidence as to what the practices were.[7] Early references to practices that later became part of yoga, are made in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, the earliest Hindu Upanishad.[67] For example, the practice of pranayama (consciously regulating breath) is mentioned in hymn 1.5.23 of Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (c. 900 BCE), and the practice of pratyahara (concentrating all of one's senses on self) is mentioned in hymn 8.15 of Chandogya Upanishad (c. 800–700 BCE).[68][note 8] The Jaiminiya Upanishad Brahmana teaches mantra repetition and control of the breath.[71]
^ James Mallinson, "Sāktism and Hathayoga," 28 June 2012. Archived 16 June 2013 at the Wayback Machine [accessed 19 September 2013] pgs. 2 "The earliest references to hathayoga are scattered mentions in Buddhist canonical works and their exegesis dating from the eighth century onwards, in which it is the soteriological method of last resort."
Mental illness is described as 'the spectrum of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral conditions that interfere with social and emotional well-being and the lives and productivity of people. Having a mental illness can seriously impair, temporarily or permanently, the mental functioning of a person. Other terms include: 'mental health problem', 'illness', 'disorder', 'dysfunction'.[37]
^ Andrew J. Nicholson (2013). Unifying Hinduism: Philosophy and Identity in Indian Intellectual History. Columbia University Press. p. 26. ISBN 978-0-231-14987-7., Quote: "From a historical perspective, the Brahmasutras are best understood as a group of sutras composed by multiple authors over the course of hundreds of years, most likely composed in its current form between 400 and 450 BCE."
Description of an early form of yoga called nirodhayoga (yoga of cessation) is contained in the Mokshadharma section of the 12th chapter (Shanti Parva) of the Mahabharata (third century BCE).[109] Nirodhayoga emphasizes progressive withdrawal from the contents of empirical consciousness such as thoughts, sensations etc. until purusha (Self) is realized. Terms like vichara (subtle reflection), viveka (discrimination) and others which are similar to Patanjali's terminology are mentioned, but not described.[110] There is no uniform goal of yoga mentioned in the Mahabharata. Separation of self from matter, perceiving Brahman everywhere, entering into Brahman etc. are all described as goals of yoga. Samkhya and yoga are conflated together and some verses describe them as being identical.[111] Mokshadharma also describes an early practice of elemental meditation.[112] Mahabharata defines the purpose of yoga as the experience of uniting the individual ātman with the universal Brahman that pervades all things.[111] https://www.facebook.com/Buzzing-Offer-Digital-Marketing-1107247206148320/

Q: How to do field validations in a mongoose schema based on other fields in the same schema? Let's say we have :
const mealSchema = Schema({
  _id: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
  title: { type: string, required: true },
  sauce: { type: string }
});

How can we make sauce mandatory if title === "Pasta" ?
The validation needs to work on update too.
I know that a workaround would be

*

*Find

*update manually

*Then save

But the risk is that if I add a new attribute (let's say "price"), I forget to update it manually too in the workaround.

A: Document validators
Mongoose has several built-in validators.

*

*All SchemaTypes have the built-in required validator. The required validator uses the SchemaType's checkRequired() function to determine     if the value satisfies the required validator.

*Numbers have min and max validators.

*Strings have enum, match, minlength, and maxlength validators.
For your case you could do something like this
const mealSchema = Schema({
 _id: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
title: { type: string, required: true },
sauce: {
      type: string,
      required: function() {
        return this.title === "pasta"? true:false ;
        }
  }
});

If the built-in validators aren't enough, you can define custom validators to suit your needs.
Custom validation is declared by passing a validation function. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this in the SchemaType#validate().
Update Validators
this refers to the document being validated when using document validation. However, when running update validators, the document being updated may not be in the server's memory, so by default the value of this is not defined. So, What's the solution?
The context option lets you set the value of this in update validators to the underlying query.
In your case, we can do something like this:
const mealSchema = Schema({
 _id: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
title: { type: string, required: true },
sauce: { type: string, required: true }
});

mealSchema.path('sauce').validate(function(value) {
 // When running update validators with
 // the `context` option set to 'query',
 // `this` refers to the query object.

if (this.getUpdate().$set.title==="pasta") {
 return  true
}else{
 return false;
}
 });

const meal = db.model('Meal', mealSchema);

const update = { title:'pasta', sauce:false};

 // Note the context option

const opts = { runValidators: true, context: 'query' };

meal.updateOne({}, update, opts, function(error) { assert.ok(error.errors['title']); });

Not sure if this answers your question. Hope this adds some value to your final solution.
Haven't tested it, pls suggest an edit if this solution needs an upgrade.
Hope this helps.

Gobi 65 and gobi manchurian dry, both are my family favourite. So where ever we go, we search for any on of the above in the menu card. Now a days Indian Wok is our favourite eat out, and the reason being they serve best gobi manchurian that is really dry. It will be crisp, still juicy and we all are now big fans of this one. Aj is just crazy about it. I tried my best to try it out at home, the only thing I could not get is to maintain the crispiness. But still my family enjoys my version of the dish.
Clean the cauliflower by keeping it immersed in hot water with salt for 10 minutes. This way, its also being parboiled.Make a batter with corn flour, all purpose flour and cooking soda, thick enough to coat the cauliflowers. You can either dip the well drained florets one by one in the batter or just mix all of it with the drained florets and deep fry. Just make sure there is enough batter to coat the florets. Deep fry until crisp and light.Keep aside.
In a wide pan, add 3 tblsp oil and add chopped garlic. Give a quick stir and then add finely chopped white part of the spring onion and the chopped onion and fry till transparent. Add both sauces, salt, sugar, pepper and mix well.
Add the deep fried cauliflower florets and toss well to mix it evenly. Lastly add finely chopped green part of the spring onion and mix well for a minute.
Adding lots of garlic and pepper adds flavor to this dish.
You can also add some capsicum and chopped coriander leaves for extra flavour.
Finely chopped ginger can be replaced with garlic.
Serve hot immediately as starter or with any Chinese style rice / noodles….!
Mouth watering here 🙂 perfect manchurian recipe…very tempting pictures !!
Love it a lot and its tempting.Feel like grabbing from the screen.

looks perfect like a hotel served one.. very tempting recipe raji !!!
Mix up some cornflour to water to buttermilk consistency and in the last step, on high heat, just add it to the gravy + cauliflower and give the whole thing a whirl for a minute or 2. This makes it crisp like at restaurants! Tip: The flame should be really high that you should get that sound as soon as you pour that corn flour water!
Thank you sooo much for adding taste to our life.
To keep it crispy make the sauce before frying the veggies. Then when the veggies are cooked reheat the sauce. This way it will still be crispy.
My Experiments with FOOD !!!
tried it at home..It as awesome !!
Raji,why can't you try rice flour instead of corn flour?i think you can get the cauliflower crispier.
Thanks for the recipe… tried it and was gr8!
Amazing recipes, love all your writings and helpful in preparing healthy, tasty , easier to prepare food.
Amazing , i love all the recipes you have written and the photos are so colourfull too. Thanks for easy, delicious, healthy and very very tasty recipes.
wow its really easy!i would really lik it!..
I tried this today. It came out well. We loved it. You have been my inspiration for me. Thanks!
What can I use instead of cornflour?
Yes you can avoid, but will you use other sauces?
Hi Raks , When I fried cauliflower it is sticking to the bottom of the kadai , the coating get seperated when I tried to take.. what may be the reason ?
Did you parboiled? To avoid this, before dipping to the batter, coat the cauliflower with some dry flour (either maida or cornflour) and then dip the batter. Also make sure the oil is in right temperature.

The Chancellor, George Osborne stood up in the House Commons to detail the largest series of public spending cuts seen in decades.
There is one main rate of corporation tax of 19%.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change will find that its resource spending is to be reduced by 18 per cent in real terms over the next four years.
Finance and legislation are at the heart of every business. It may be a question of boosting profits, managing costs, ensuring that operations and processes are as efficient as possible, or securing the funds necessary for growth and expansion.

The government has committed itself to £30 billion of investment in the transport system but has also announced that capital spending by the Department of Transport is to be cut by 11 per cent.
One of the headline statements in the spending review was the anticipated confirmation that the state retirement age for men and women is to be equalised at 65 by November 2018.
Like most other government departments, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is to lose some of its budget as a result of the spending review.
No matter how much cash there is in the bank or how much you have in working capital, a firm's most valuable asset is its employees. Taking care of your staff can make the difference between an ordinary business and a truly successful one.
It was widely expected that the spending review would focus on welfare funding. One of the areas to be affected by the cuts is employment.
The response to the Comprehensive Spending Review was, of course, mixed with some condemning the severity of the cuts while others applauded the boldness and approach to the announcements.

Jupiter appears in the western sky during the early evening hours of August 2017. It is heading toward its solar conjunction on October 26, 2017. It reappears in the morning sky with an Epoch Conjunction with Venus on November 13, 2017.
During this appearance, Jupiter is preparing to pass Spica for a third time on September 5. More about this in the links below.
On the evening of August 25, the crescent moon passes Jupiter and Spica. The moon is 5.5 degrees to the upper left of Jupiter with Spica 4 degrees to the lower left of Jupiter.


User authentication, or identity verification, is incredibly important. Businesses large and small, and even individual consumers have been forced by these exploits to take steps to ensure that their information is safe from malicious software and hackers. While good password hygiene and the right password management tool can help, there are still hurdles. SECaaS, or security as a service, can provide significant advantages. What is it, and why should it have a place in your business portfolio?
Before we get too much farther into the discussion, we need to talk about what SECaaS is and why it matters. SECaaS is a cloud-based authentication solution that provides greater safeguards for information stored in cloud systems. Security is the most common concern on the part of businesses considering a move to the cloud, and the most common reason that some businesses don't make that leap. However, that has not kept software developers from making the leap, and taking user identities into the cloud with them.
SECaaS is a way to safeguard those identities while in the cloud. Why does this matter so much? It's all to do with the nature of cloud-based systems. In this scenario, the system might be owned and operated by a division of the business or organization itself, or it could be owned and managed by an outside party, with limited controls on the part of the business or a division of the business. security as a service works to solve two needs: identity access and control, and SaaS efficiency and security management.
Traditional identity management was completely within the organization's control. Managers were responsible for granting employees access to specific networks, areas, features, tools and the like. However, with the rise of the cloud and the increasing reliance on cloud-based apps, businesses and organizations are giving up control over the situation – traditional identity management no longer works, or at least no longer works as well.
Security as a service differs quite a bit from conventional identity management in many ways. For instance, unlike traditional management techniques, it can provide security for instances where access to business or organization-owned systems or apps is accomplished through mobile devices like laptops, tablets, smartphones and the like.
It can also work to provide a unified solution for management across cloud-based applications, in-house applications and hybrid applications. SECaaS provides verification of all identities, and offers the means to grant, track and revoke access to all users in order to meet compliance requirements, as well as risks. Because it is cloud-based, SECaaS can also be scaled to fit changing needs without any problem.
Yet another benefit to SECaaS is the fact that it can be implemented in a number of ways in order to suit a particular organization's needs. For instance, for smaller, more agile companies, it can be implemented immediately as a company-wide solution. However, for larger organizations, it can be rolled out gradually in order to provide time for users to be trained in the use of the system, and for integration with different areas within the organization. Note that it does take considerable integration in many instances.
Most large organizations find a gradual roll-out highly beneficial. For instance, it might first be used to provide single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. Then, it would be used to provide multi-factor and adaptive authentication. Next, it would include identity analytics, then self-service and access requests, access approval, provisioning, access certification, and finally privileged account management. It can even be used to provide authentication using an alternate identity provider (think of logging into a website with your Facebook credentials).
Perhaps the most important takeaway from this discussion is that SECaaS provides a solution for authentication that works with the cloud. It is scalable, and provides the ability to make changes to access in real time, without the need to wait for changes to cascade through the system. This makes it highly beneficial for on-boarding and off boarding procedures, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to specific platforms, and setting individual access controls to prevent unauthorized access to specific platforms, areas or information.
Why Offer it in Your Portfolio?
Simply put, SECaaS ensures organizations of all sizes that you take their identity management needs seriously, and have taken steps to provide robust safeguards that can be easily customized to meet their specific requirements, on their timescale.

Jacqueline Woodson was already the author of 28 children's books, most of them award-winning, when her Brown Girl Dreaming won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature last week. She is a three-time recipient of Newbery Honors, and she'd been nominated for the NBA before. Her achievement, however, was swiftly eclipsed by coverage of the racist joke that Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket, made after she got off the stage. In a phone interview with the Guardian she declined to comment on the firestorm, though she also said she will, eventually. "I'm trying to figure out how to think about it," she said.
Woodson is 51 and lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn, with her partner and two children. She was born in Ohio, and lived there and in Greenville, South Carolina. When she was six, her single mother brought her brothers and sisters to live in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn. That early part of her life is what Brown Girl Dreaming tracks. In short lines of blank verse, it traces Woodson's life from birth to about the age of 10.
Woodson says she began writing the book when her mother died suddenly. She described the death as a "wake-up call that the people I love, and the people who know my story, and the people who know my history are not always going to be here." Writing became a quest to make sure some kind of record existed. "I just started writing down memories," she said, and gradually she came to realise there were holes in hers.
named Peter Stuyvesant. There were slaves here.
lived on the other side of the wall.
And now that place is called Wall Street.
For some, a book-length poem might look like a daunting read, but Brown Girl Dreaming glides down easily. And its subject matter clearly hits a nerve even if its form is unusual. Woodson said she'd heard both "from fourth-grade girls and from 70-year-old women" who related to the book. In fact, one adult reader, Ashley Ford of Buzzfeed, has called the book "the realisation of a dream". Ford pointed out that one reason women of color flock to books like Woodson's is that their own childhood libraries were only sparsely populated with stories about people of color.
But then she found Virginia Hamilton and John Steptoe, both writers of color. They wrote about city kids, and in their work she found "a full body and a full story", Woodson said. "That's when I looked back and began to recognize the absence that had been there before." Woodson also lists James Baldwin and Rosa Guy as influences. "They were writing about young adults," she pointed out, and she read them when she was young herself. All these writers, she said, gave her a sense of her own "legitimacy".
"The longing [for those books] is in what's not said," she said, of her own fans. They write to her and tell her they love her books and that they've never read anything like them, but the clear message is they want more of it. So to that end, Woodson is involved with an effort called We Need Diverse Books. The idea, she says, is to keep the call for diverse books from being "just a hashtag". She explains that the initiative has concrete plans to put diverse books in libraries and more importantly in publishing, by funding paid internships for example. After his racist gaffe, Handler contributed $110,000.
And Woodson says what she always hoped to accomplish in her own work is to make books be a kind of companion for everyone. "I want it to be there for the people who need it. I don't want anyone to walk through the world feeling invisible ever again," she said.

Die Fried-Lübbecke-Grundschule ist eine Grundschule in Frankfurt am Main. Die Schule liegt im Stadtteil Eschersheim  und wird von rund 183 Schülern besucht. Die Schule wurde 1962 gegründet und ist nach dem deutschen Kunsthistoriker Fried Lübbecke (1883–1965) benannt. Angrenzend befindet sich das Eschersheimer Freibad.

Beschreibung
Die Schule ist zwei- bis dreizügig.  Das Personal besteht aus zehn Klassenlehrerinnen, drei Fachlehrerinnen, einem Schulleiter, einem Hausmeister, einer Sekretärin und einem französischen Austauschlehrer.

Fremdsprachenunterricht
Anders als in vielen anderen Grundschulen wird in der Fried-Lübbecke-Grundschule Französisch als erste Fremdsprache unterrichtet. In der ersten und zweiten Klasse wird Französisch als Arbeitsgemeinschaft (AG) angeboten, ab der dritten Klasse gibt es für alle Französischunterricht. Englisch wird in einer Englisch-AG für alle Klassen angeboten.

Förderverein
Der Förderkreis der Fried-Lübbecke-Grundschule e.V. wurde im August 2000 gegründet. Der ehrenamtlich geleitete Verein war zuerst für das Betreuungsangebot zuständig. Im Sommer 2011 wurde diese Aufgabe jedoch vom Evangelischen Verein für Jugendsozialarbeit übernommen. Jetzt organisiert der Verein  eigene Projekte, zum Beispiel Flohmärkte, Weihnachtsbasare oder Bastelnachmittage. Finanziell unterstützte der Förderverein auch die Anschaffung von digitalen Whiteboards, die Verschönerung des Schulhofes und die Gestaltung der Klassenräume.

Betreuungsangebote
Seit 2011 gibt es ein Betreuungsangebot der Fried-Lübbecke-Grundschule, das vom Evangelischen Verein für Jugendsozialarbeit getragen wird. Das Angebot umfasst ein warmes Mittagessen und Betreuung bis 15 Uhr bzw. 17 Uhr. Die Nachmittagsbetreuung ist kostenpflichtig. Außerdem gibt es eine Frühbetreuung von 7:30 Uhr bis 8:45 Uhr.

Geschichte
Die Schule wurde 1962 als Eschersheimer Volksschule gegründet. 1968 bezog die Schule das Schulgebäude "Im Uhrig". 1985 wurde die Schule zum 20. Todestag von "Altstadtvater" Fried Lübbecke zur Fried-Lübbecke-Grundschule umbenannt. 1999 wurde das Schulgebäude saniert. Dabei entstand auch ein Raum für eine Schülerbücherei.

Q: Angularjs: Understand how work $location I'm new in Angular and i want to understand some function.
I've to redirect a button click in other page.
This is the code i need to replace:
function vaiAllaFattura(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var dataItem = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
    window.location.href = "@Url.Action("Create", "Fatturazione")" + "/?idPrestazioneAgenda=" + dataItem.Id;
}

this is the function i have to do in Angular when i click my button.
Someone can help me? Thank you!!!!

A: First thing, you could implement an ng-click on the button to pass the id of your row, to avoid using jQuery in your controller to retrieve it (this line $(e.currentTarget).closest("tr") should not be in the controller).

...

Then you should not use the window.location, but use the $location service (see here why).
So your final code should look something like:
$scope.vaiAllaFattura = function(e) {
    $location.path("@Url.Action("Create", "Fatturazione")" + "/?idPrestazioneAgenda=" + e.currentTarget.Id);
}

Q: Why can't I listen on 'localhost' but can I listen on '127.0.0.1'? I'm having difficulties understanding why the following line of code works in node.js:
server.listen(12345, "127.0.0.1"); // works

but this one does not:
server.listen(12345, "localhost"); // fails

Coding localhost literally results in the following error thrown:
events.js:45
        throw arguments[1]; // Unhandled 'error' event
                       ^
Error: ECONNREFUSED, Could not contact DNS servers
    at IOWatcher.callback (dns.js:74:15)

I do not understand why it should 'contact DNS servers' as it's localhost as defined in my HOSTS file (I'm using node.js under Windows).
Why doesn't hardcoding localhost work?

A: Are uou using cygwin build? Did you try 'Set up Domain Name Resolution (DNS)' :
Cygwin internally uses Windows for DNS queries. node.js uses the c-ares library that relies on /etc/resolv.conf. Cygwin ships with an empty /etc/resolv.conf. In order to enabled networking from your scripts, add these IPs to the file (Google Public DNS):
$ vim /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

A: It turned out that using the cygwin build was the problem.
I looked at http://nodejs.org/ and I discovered that only recently a native Windows binary file was made available, which works like a charm.

A: I've never personally used node.js, however some quick searching turned up some interesting results...
From what I can tell, everything I've seen says that you need to find the IP address that you are looking to listen to. Here is an example: Get local IP address in node.js this behavior makes sense too. Domain names are arbitrary, it's the IP that matters so sometimes that is all something wants to deal with.
If I'm missing something about how node.js works I am sorry.

Fabio Benvegnu´
Fabio Benvegnu´ (°1982, Alba, Italy) is an artist who works in a variety of media. By manipulating the viewer to create confusion, Benvegnu´ often creates several practically identical works, upon which thoughts that have apparently just been developed are manifested: notes are made and then crossed out again, 'mistakes' are repeated.
His artworks focus on the inability of communication which is used to visualise reality, the attempt of dialogue, the dissonance between form and content and the dysfunctions of language. In short, the lack of clear references are key elements in the work. By demonstrating the omnipresent lingering of a 'corporate world', his works references post-colonial theory as well as the avant-garde or the post-modern and the left-wing democratic movement as a form of resistance against the logic of the capitalist market system.
His works are on the one hand touchingly beautiful, on the other hand painfully attractive. Again and again, the artist leaves us orphaned with a mix of conflicting feelings and thoughts. By investigating language on a meta-level, he tries to grasp language. Transformed into art, language becomes an ornament. At that moment, lots of ambiguities and indistinctnesses, which are inherent to the phenomenon, come to the surface.
His works demonstrate how life extends beyond its own subjective limits and often tells a story about the effects of global cultural interaction over the latter half of the twentieth century. It challenges the binaries we continually reconstruct between Self and Other, between our own 'cannibal' and 'civilized' selves. Fabio Benvegnu´ currently lives and works in Berlin.

Everything Nick Jonas Has Said About His Political Aspirations and Running for President
The Jonas Brother has long made his fascination with the presidency known
By Brianne Tracy
Priyanka Chopra made headlines recently for saying that she "would love" to see husband Nick Jonas run for president, but the idea is far from new.
Between giving his side project a political theme to openly speaking about wanting to run for office, the Jonas Brothers singer has made his fascination with the presidency known since the very beginning of his career.
Before Nick, 26, and his brothers Joe, 29, and Kevin, 31, became known as the Jonas Brothers, they made an appearance on CBS' The Early Show back in 2004 to perform "Time for Me to Fly" and "Please Be Mine." Even though Nick was only 12 at the time, his dreams of becoming president had already begun.
When the host of the show asked Nick, "What do you want to do when you get older?" He responded, "Maybe I'll be president or something."
Four years later, at the height of the band's teen stardom in 2008, Nick explained to PEOPLE why he was given the nickname "Mr. President."
"They call me the President or 'Mr. President,' but that's only when I get in my president mode," he said. "I just act like the boss sometimes. A lot of people have families where it's like the younger kids get all the slack, but they really do treat me with respect, and I do the same for them, so it's a good relationship."
RELATED: Jonas 2020? Priyanka Chopra 'Would Love' Husband Nick Jonas to Run for President
That year, Nick continued to speak on his political aspirations in a string of interviews. While promoting the Jonas Brothers' Disney Channel original movie Camp Rock, Nick declared to E! News host Giuliana Rancic: "I'm going to run for president one day."
During the interview, Kevin supported his brother by saying, "He's starting the campaign at 15, you know, I think he's got a good shot if he can continue holding the fan base."
Then on Live with Regis and Kelly, Kevin told the audience that Nick was "going to run for president" and joked that they were announcing his candidacy right then and there.
"I had this conversation with many people, 'Yeah I'm going to run for president,'" Nick said sarcastically, before adding more seriously, "But then maybe I will one day, I don't know. I think 2038 is when I could run."
In 2009, Nick formed his band, Nick Jonas & the Administration, as a side project from the Jonas Brothers. On the band's debut album, Who I Am, were songs titled, "State of Emergency," "Conspiracy Theory" and "Olive & An Arrow," which is a nod to the Great Seal of the United States that depicts a bald eagle holding an olive branch and arrows.
"[I'm] not so much [fascinated] with politics, but more just about the fascination with the president," he told MTV News in 2009. "The opportunities that we've had to go to the White House, the times that I've joked about wanting to be president and all that, I'm taking [it] somewhat serious."
When Barbara Walters asked Joe to describe Nick during an interview special with the brothers in 2009, he said, "He's definitely the president."
"He's the leader-type in the band, for sure," he continued. "He is wise for his age."
In 2011, Nick was asked during a solo appearance on The View whether he wanted to go into politics.
"I would like to," he said. "2040, that's the year. I'm taking it slow. I have a lot of time to figure that one out."
Most recently, Nick was asked during an interview with The Guardian published on Monday if he would still like to run for office one day.
"Politics is a very tricky thing," he diplomatically answered. "It's a very different time to when I first mentioned my desire to be president."

Q: Gridmvc filtering without query in url I'm using GridMvc and I'm filtering data. I'd like to hide filter query in the url like http://www.mypage.com/Overview?Name=yyy
My form is defined as:
<form class="form-inline" method="POST"  action="@Url.Action("Filter", Request.QueryString)">

        @Html.LabelFor(c => c.Name)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(c => c.Name, new { placeholder = "Filter", @class = "form-control" })

        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default"> Search</button>

</form>

And the action
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Filter(FilterModel model)

But I always see the query. It's possible to hide query string?

A: You cound hide your query if you put all you data in hidden fields instead of Request.QueryString.
I mean if your Request.QueryString looks like param1=test1&param2=test2 you should render you view like this:
<form class="form-inline" method="POST"  action="@Url.Action("Filter")">
    <input type="hidden" name="param1" value="test1" />
    <input type="hidden" name="param2" value="test2" />

        @Html.LabelFor(c => c.Name)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(c => c.Name, new { placeholder = "Filter", @class = "form-control" })

        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default"> Search</button>

</form>

MVC binding will bind all hidden values on POST according to name property of this hidden inputs.
You should just fill inputs value (replace test1 and test2 with your values from Request.QueryString)
