This time it all started from the groove. The songs slowly took shape, it was the rhythm that guided us. It felt like the melodies needed a solid base to hang on to.
At a certain point, for some reason Roberto's keyboard was installed in Filippo's house and in the middle of the night Filippo found himself playing a hypnotically acid riff that would gradually turn into Stars Spangling. Those are the nights in which there's no way you can get any sleep, electrified by the euphoria that comes with the magic of inspiration.
>Memories of a warm May afternoon spent leaning against a wall, paralyzed for an indefinite amount of time by a bass riff that was molding its way in our minds, and probably also capturing a piece of what we can timidly think of as…our soul.
The stream of consciousness brings us to Soul for Blood, and here's a vision of Alexei curved over a miniature guitar, or at least so it seemed compared to his figure, strumming a gentle chord progression that would soon magically turn into the inevitable opening track of Karisma.
Gradually these embryonic grooves were turning into songs, this time we forced ourselves to let them grow, bloom and naturally make their way, trying to resist the temptation of crystalizing them into songs, fighting the fear of diluting the inspiration in a magma of improvisation.
We gradually and discontinuously swayed from digital pre-production to physical pre-production moving back and forth form our home studio to the practice room. While Alexei and Tommy transposed the cold digital sounds of bass and drums from the computer to the real-life vibe of the practice room, Bobby, Filippo and Stefano started to entwine lyrics, melodies and vocal harmonies.
Thoughts flow to the groove from Camouflage coming to life, and the first versions of Stefano's unique delayed guitar loops on Hole in My Head, and the "heavy metal" spirit buried within us that emerges subliminally on Triangular.
It's not an easy task to evenly narrate a creative and productive process, also because we often rely on our faulty memories, but what's for sure is that at a certain point we had to choose how to produce the record.
We started off with some live recordings at Studio 75 in Milan with the idea of recording a live album all the way. We soon figured out that the live feel was an essential part, but we also needed an extra touch, that's when we naturally turned to Cooper – the man who can make records come ALIVE!!
The first phase involved recording live at Mauro Pagani's renowned Studio B at Officine Meccaniche, at the beginning of a steaming August in Milan. The studio was big enough to give us the freedom to play live, without having to think about being in a studio, even allowing us to smoothly record some of our beloved whistling feedback.
In four days, we laid the foundations for all the 12 tracks. From those days, a few sparse images will probably stick to our minds forever: the dolphin stickers on Alexei's snare drum, Bobby's eerie improvised fender Rhodes on the finale of Hole in My Head (one of those things that only a live recording can capture), and our role as hand-clappers on one of Mauro Pagani's world music productions. Unfortunately, we don't have audio or video evidence of this, but believe it or not it's all true.
On top of these solid studio recordings we were now ready to weave in all the vocals, arrangements and overdubs. Cooper handed us his best mics and equipment to do this by ourselves giving birth to yet another creative adventure. Most of the vocals were recorded in our studio in Via Lombroso, but to get that additional live vibe on the final part of Certainty & Disenchantment we turned to the talented hand of musician, composer, and producer Pablo Quirici (leader of Fiumi and ex member of Lato and Scanfelato). From his studio in Bologna, Pablo did an extraordinary job in capturing the closest thing to the sound we were searching for.
Cooper does the rest, overcoming uncountable obstacles, undulating between the San Pedro Studio and his house, and finally putting together all the tracks, emotions and sound waves to produce the 12 tracks that animate Karisma.

Plumbers Supply Co. was established as a wholesale distributor business in 1921 by its founding father, John J. Werst, Sr., and six other partners.
The first location was opened at 610 E 3rd St in Lexington, KY with Charlie Werst serving as manager. The second location opened the following year in Evansville, IN at the corner of 7th St and Pennsylvania Ave (now Division St).
In 1930, the Louisville location opened in its present 1000 E Main Street location. One of the founding partners, Robert George, opened the Indianapolis store at 2015 Martindale Ave on the North Side. Indianapolis moved into a larger building at 11th and Cornell in 1940, remaining there until construction of I-65 in 1967. A new Indianapolis warehouse was then built at E Raymond St., which remains in operation today as our Indianapolis hub.
Our Evansville, IN warehouse closed in 1972, then reopened in 1983 at its current location on W. Michigan Street.
Continued expansion into south central Kentucky occurred when we opened a facility in Bowling Green, KY in 1987. Plumbers Supply returned to Lexington, KY in 1990 at our present location on the corner of Industry Rd and Eastland Dr.
Additional branches have been added in strategic Indianapolis and Louisville suburbs including Fishers, IN, Franklin, IN, Ft Wayne, IN, East End of Louisville, KY, Elizabethtown, KY and Clarksville, IN.
Today the Louisville 1000 E Main St location remains as the only location in continuous use, strategically located at the intersection of the Butchertown, Phoenix Hill and NULU neighborhoods near the East End of Main Street.
The company is now under third and fourth generation management with John J. (Jay) Werst III serving as Chairman, and Jay Johnson as President and COO.

Mechanism Of Pathogenicity
For most infectious ailments, the flexibility to accurately identify the causative pathogen is a crucial step to find or prescribing effective remedies. Today's physicians, patients, and researchers owe a sizable debt to the doctor Robert Koch (1843–1910), who devised a scientific approach for confirming causative relationships between illnesses and particular pathogens. Turner, P. C., Thomas, C. E., Elkins, C., Clary, S., and Sparling, P. F.
Causes of bacteremia can additionally be divided into healthcare-related or community-acquired . Clostridium species are gram-optimistic, spore-forming bacteria and are current almost in all places within the surroundings. Some Clostridium species are of importance as pathogens, together with Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium estertheticum. If meals isn't cooled sufficiently, it may end up in a contamination, which can cause serious sicknesses. The micro organism are warmth-resistant and thus, can also be contained in thoroughly heated meals merchandise. To affirm this analysis, a microscope slide of a direct vaginal smear is prepared from the discharge to examine for the presence of yeast.
What Is The Variety Of The Human Skin Microbiota, As Revealed By Tradition
The hemopexin-heme complex is cleared by hepatocytes and macrophages by way of the CD91 receptor (Hvidberg et al., 2005). Plasma heme can also originate from the degradation of myoglobin and heme-containing enzymes similar to catalases, peroxidases and cytochromes, and from myeloperoxidase secreted from neutrophils (Ascenzi et al., 2005). All these mechanisms promote iron recycling and also shield the host from iron toxicity. Iron is a particularly versatile cofactor that's important for a lot of biochemical reactions in both mammalian hosts and pathogenic microbes. Iron can also be found in many mono- and di-nuclear non–heme iron proteins like ferritin and ribonucleotide reductase.
The mechanism of dietary heme uptake remains to be clarified. The heme carrier protein 1 was proposed as a heme receptor in duodenal enterocytes (Shayeghi et al., 2005); nevertheless, its primary position may be to move folic acid rather than heme (Qiu et al., 2006). HRG-1, the heme responsive gene-1, was first identified in Caenorhabditis elegans as a heme importer (Rajagopal et al., 2008). The human homologue of HRG-1 seems to transport heme as properly, however quite from the lysosome into the cytosol (Yanatori et al., 2010; Delaby et al., 2012). FLVCR2 was additionally just lately reported to mediate the endocytosis of heme by mammalian cells (Duffy et al., 2010).
Construction Of Endotoxin
In today's mass animal farming industry, contaminations with Salmonella can hardly be avoided. Therefore, efficient high quality control with dependable take a look at methods is necessary. For this purpose, we provide a collection of various test systems, for the hygienic management of surfaces in addition to for the analysis of meals. Food contaminated with pathogenic bacteria may pose a critical health threat to the buyer. Thus the control of pathogens throughout the entire production chain is crucial to ensure shopper protection. that binds to beta-1 integrins expressed on the floor of host cells.

It all started in 1962 when drum shop owner Jim Marshall discovered the distinctive growl that gave the electric guitar an exciting new voice. Music got a whole lot louder as young musicians like Clapton, Townshend and Hendrix adopted the revolutionary 'Marshall Sound'. The electric guitar now spoke for a new generation and the genre of rock was born.
Soon Marshall stacks and walls were an essential backdrop of rock 'n' roll. The excesses of rock machismo were gloriously lampooned in the 1984 movie This is Spinal Tap. In an extraordinary piece of reverse irony, it was this comic exposure that rescued the company from financial meltdown.
With contributions from rock legends like Pete Townshend, Lemmy and Slash, plus an interview with the 'Father of Loud' Jim Marshall, this documentary cruises down the rock ages with all the dials set to 'eleven'.


All parties involved in alternative dispute resolution can benefit from understanding what is going on in the brain during settlement talks, Toronto lawyer and mediator Eric Gossin tells AdvocateDaily.com.
Gossin, managing partner with Stancer, Gossin, Rose LLP, recently co-chaired a panel on neuroscience in ADR in a program presented by the Ontario Bar Association and says it was one of the most intriguing sessions he's been involved with.
For example, while most people have heard of the virtually automatic "fight or flight" response activated by the amygdala in the brain, Gossin says few lawyers would think of it as happening in the context of their work.
Gossin says lawyers and meditators can use a basic understanding of the neurological processes behind these reactions to help prevent them from being triggered in the first place and boost the chances of resolution.
Gossin says some of the insights gained at the OBA session backed up his intuitions about how to achieve settlements at mediation.
"I wouldn't have necessarily attached those neuroscientific labels to them, but I've always been interested in the interpersonal aspect of mediation and try to approach all parties with empathy," Gossin says.
For example, one of his favoured strategies is what he calls "setting a positive table" for mediation.
"You need to remove negative expectations so you don't end up with unfavourable results," Gossin explains. "There is an inclination for lawyers to call up mediators with a negative or defeatist approach and say the case hasn't got a hope of settling. My aim is to change the tone to a positive one, so I explain my approach and tell them they might find themselves surprised by the results.
"The real art of mediation is in how you frame and reframe the situation for the various parties. Good mediators know how to do it in a positive way so that the threats are downplayed and the inclination to get combative is reduced," he adds.

Watch Madonna Flash The Crowd At Concert In Turkey
By Mack Rawden published 10 June 12
Madonna has always been a woman willing to play with her sexuality. Whether rolling around in a wedding dress or releasing a book of explicit photography, she's gone just about anywhere for art and shock value, but even given her history, the majority of her Turkish fans still didn't expect what they saw Friday night.
The Material Girl was performing in Istanbul when she began shedding articles of clothing during her song "Human Nature". She got down to a bra in short order, then pretended to remove one of the straps before putting it back on and quickly flashing one of her nipples. The crowd erupted with raucous approval, and the pop star smiled as if she knew exactly how loud the response would be.
You can take a look at the footage below, but it is, of course, NOT SAFE FOR WORK…
Twenty years ago, no one would have batted an eyelash at this display, but given Madonna is now a fifty-three-year-old mother, her private parts are once again at least somewhat shocking to most people. It's unclear if she'll continue to bare a little extra during her upcoming gigs. If she does, it won't generate the headlines it did this time around, but more than likely, it'll still meet with almost universal approval from the audience.

I've got black mould appearing in my house, what can I do to stop it?
It's that time of year again when condensation can start to cause problems.
If it's left untreated, mould growth is harmful and can lead to serious health issues and breathing difficulties.
Did you know that 4 people living in a 3 bedroom property would create a whopping 112 pints of moisture a week from just breathing, cooking, showering and boiling the kettle?
So, how CAN you reduce the condensation in your property?
2. When cooking, boiling a kettle, taking a shower or bath, ensure that your kitchen or bathroom door are kept closed to prevent steam going into colder rooms which will cause condensation to form.
4. When taking a shower or bath, turn on an extractor fan or open a window to get rid of the steam that is created when running warm water in a cold environment. This will help reduce the amount of condensation that appears on your bathroom windows but won't eliminate the problem. If you don't have an extractor fan in your bathroom or kitchen then make sure that you wipe down the surfaces when you're done.
5. Do not overfill your bedroom wardrobes and kitchen cupboards. With lack of ventilation and trapped warm air, your overfilled cupboards are a breeding ground for mould as the air is not able to circulate freely inside.
6. For the same reason as above, make sure that your furniture is at least 50mm away from the surrounding walls so that air can move around the property. Also try to put wardrobes against internal walls in your bedroom which will be less cold than external walls.
8. Double glazing, loft insulation and draft proofing will help to reduce the amount of heat that is lost from a property. Installing insulation will help to keep the temperature of the surfaces inside your property high.

And if I don't have a licence?
A Licensee is required to produce a Landlords Gas Safety Certificate, an Electrical Periodic Inspection Certificate and provide copies of Portable Appliance Test Certificates. Also required is evidence that electronic fire detection, alarm system and emergency lighting systems are checked by a competent person and smoke alarms are installed and serviced.
How big do the rooms need to be?
Author Sue StocksPosted on September 20, 2018 September 20, 2018 Leave a comment on Do I Need an HMO Licence?
Let's really give this some more thought because for Landlords, it can be a MORE difficult decision whether or not to let to someone that you already know, especially when you consider some of the things that could potentially go wrong. Don't forget that any issues that arise, you'll be dealing with head on, unless you have a Managing Agent on board. What will you do if the rent is persistently late? How will you feel if there's a difference of opinion on something and you end up having an argument? How will you tackle any breach of contract?
How about asking for some proof of income to know that affordability is taken care of? Is their job permanent or have they been given a zero hours contract, which is becoming more common lately. What do you know about any debts, poor credit history? Have they rented before? What does a reference from a previous landlord look like?
On the other hand, letting to someone you know or a relation can often be the perfect solution! If you're in regular contact, there's a good chance that any repairs will be reported without delay and the rent will come in like clockwork. There may also be a bonus of a trouble free long term let with continuity of rent and a long and happy tenancy!
Landlord : I'm undecided whether to allow pets into my rental property. What happens if there's any damage?
But if you're a Landlord with a sizeable home to rent that's perhaps in a town, near a school then you'll attract a family and occasionally, some four legged friends!
But here's the thing – most pet owners are responsible people. Their animals are clean, well looked after and let's face it, some are spoilt divas who get their owners catering to their every whim! We are a Nation of animal lovers, spending hundreds of pounds every year on our pets – bedding, accessories, grooming, treats, even outfits!
Let's face it, families with pets can make super long term tenants. For a Landlord, longer term tenants means continuity of rent, less void periods and less wear and tear moving furniture in and out every few months. We get numerous enquiries every single day from people with pets, struggling to find a suitable property to rent. Some are upset and frustrated for they have been searching for what seems like months without success.
After all, being pet friendly may well be your purrfect opportunity to be pawsitively rewarded with a long and happy tenancy!

We have had lots of phone calls regarding boilers not working due to their condensate pipe from the boiler being frozen – this is the white pipe that's comes out at the bottom of your boiler. If you boil the kettle and carefully pour the hot water over the white pipe this should defrost any blockage and get you up running.


Daniel – Kalkaska Church of Christ – 1725 W. Kalkaska Rd.
Daniel 9:15-19 Because of what God has done, we can be confident He canis able to answer. Because God is merciful, we can make a plea. Because we are His children, we can ask for His attention. Because everything is God's, His will be done. As we plug into the ultimate power source, the results may be shocking, but His light will always be shining.
Are you Braced for the Answers?
Daniel 9:20-27 Daniel's prayers were being answered… with insight and understanding as he began to pray. because he was greatly loved. from the words of God. The healing for our church, community, nation, and world is found in the Word of God.
Daniel 9:4-14 When we look inside our heart we remember… Our active sins against God's law Our deafness to God's voice The awful consequences of our sin An inward look without an upward look leaves us hopeless When we look to our Heavenly Father we remember He is… Our great and awesome God Our covenant keeping God Our merciful God Brace for impact as we go to war in prayer, remembering where we've been, and more importantly, where we're going.
Our posture toward God in prayer says a lot about our heart of prayer.


You'd be forgiven for thinking that these images of The Apollo restaurant, designed by George Livissianis, were in greyscale. The muted palette doesn't reflect its sunny location in Sydney Australia. This desaturated restaurant was designed to reflect the rocky natural Greek landscapes, using distressed materials.
The walls have been sanded and painted, and sanded again to create the distressed and dusty effect. The bright white Artemide lighting, along with the floods of natural light make the space seem as if it had been bleached by the Mediterranean sun. Custom made chairs nestle beneath sandblasted solid oak table tops.
The cement flooring with brass inlays was supplied by James Hardies Industries and the upholstery from Dickson.
The Apollo is shortlisted in the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards 2012/13 in the Australia & Pacific Restaurant category.

Reactions: xox
What is the basis for the assumption that nothingness(space) came into existence with somethingness(matter)?
A math equation perhaps? They say the universe is expanding out. So the mass is getting less dense. What about space? Is it getting less dense too? Where is the expanding space coming from? The universe is not adding more matter.......so how is it adding more space? Where is the space spigot? What is pumping space into this balloon? The space and the time came with the matter......remember?
See how utterly stupid that is? When you replace intellect with math.......the result is always stupid.
Does nothingness need to be made? Does nothingness exist? Is space a state of non existence? What was there until space replaced it? What's outside of space.....and why can't we see a boundary or interface? If space came into being with matter and energy........it's the largest structure known. It would have the largest boundary and interface. Wouldn't some light be reflected? What would the inside of a sphere look like......after 13 billion years of starlight?
Just because our local space has 13+ billion years of pollution in it........doesn't mean space has properties.
Does salt come from water? Of course not...it only resides in water. Does energy , matter and time come from space? Of course not......they only reside in space.
Time is a property of displacement........it is the duration of displacement........not the length of displacement.
The length or space of displacement can be zero.......but the time of displacement can never be zero.
Space is not necessary for time.

There are only two things for certain in this universe and
"the Big Bang is not the beginning of the Universe!"
is not one of them.

I remembered this quote from a text book.
Reactions: xox and cmartinez
While many of you will call this "stupid", why can't the universe be expanding from the destruction of stars? I read somewhere that the sun and our solar system has not always been the same, that it was formed when another star or many stars exploded. So why can't that have happened all across the known universe? With each "explosion" forcing the universe larger.
When you replace intellect with math.......the result is always stupid.
What you're really saying: "When you replace intuition with math, the result is always non-intuitive."
Newtonian physics is intuitive because it well-describes the way things behave at human scales. That's what intuition is, a sense of how things work. And since we each have decades of experience with human-scale things, Newtonian physics nestles in easily with our intuition.
But Newtonian physics fails miserably at describing the universe at scales beyond our everyday experience, e.g., the physics of high-energy things, high-speed things, and very small things. Of course, we didn't realize this at first; the loss of Newtonian innocence happened slowly. As our technology and experiments became more sophisticated, we were increasingly able to investigate the physics of phenomena well-outside of our everyday experience, and at each turn we found that the data didn't fit our Newtonian expectations. But we didn't immediately throw out the old rulebook; instead, we tried tweaking it in various ways, trying to get the data to fit. Regardless of what the experiments were telling us, physicists were sure that Newton couldn't be that wrong.
However skeptical you may be, physics as a discipline is far more skeptical.
But at some point even the most ardent (though rational) skeptic cannot argue with the data. New theories were created, based not on how we think the universe should behave, but rather how it was telling us it does behave. The most successful of these -- relativity at the large scale, and quantum field theory at the small -- are well-tested and astoundingly successful, even if still incomplete. Indeed, they are fundamentally mathematical models, but so is Newtonian physics; mathematics has always provided the framework for any successful physics.
The new theories are not intuitive. So what? Why should we expect the universe at atomic scales to behave intuitively to us? Why should our everyday experience of what we haphazardly call time, space, and matter overrule what our carefully devised experiments are telling us?
The hard job of science is to tell us how things are, not how we would like them to be.
Space is not "nothingness", it is made of the same stuff as matter, just at a lower energy state. (Incidentally, the notion of space as empty nothingness is far less intuitive to me than thinking of it as somethingness with specific properties.)
They say the universe is expanding out. So the mass is getting less dense. What about space? Is it getting less dense too? Where is the expanding space coming from? The universe is not adding more matter.......so how is it adding more space? Where is the space spigot? What is pumping space into this balloon? The space and the time came with the matter......remember?
You're visualizing this as if the universe is a volume inside another bigger space, getting filled with more stuff and growing. The universe is everything -- it is not embedded in anything -- and it has precisely the same amount of stuff in it now as it did at the beginning; no extra stuff is being pumped in. When cosmologists say that the universe is expanding, they mean that the distance between very far objects (much greater than galactic scales) is getting larger. Essentially, the geometry of space (the metric) is changing. The good news, however, is that at galactic scales and smaller, gravity dominates: whatever is in our neighborhood now will always be in our neighborhood.
Consider your logic. You said that time is a property of displacement, but displacement is a measure of space! So, according to your own definitions, space is indeed necessary for time.
Glenn Holland
Images from the Hubble telescope show large clouds of material in which stars and planets are forming.
I've often wondered where do those clouds come from? Are they from supernova explosions or the remnants of the big bang itself?
I've always felt trying to postulate things which cannot be proven to be a bit superfluous. Science should be nothing more than a tool for making predictions. No need to attach a "reality" to the conceptual models that have created, for who is to say what is actually working behind the scenes, far beyond what can be sensed or even measured by whatever technology is currently available to us? Wormholes, multi-verses, vibrating strings emanating from the fabric of space itself - for all we really know, the entire visible universe is just a subatomic particle within an infinite, incomprehensible sea of phenomena. Why speculate? Just assume that the laws of physics have no end and simply leverage what we do know in order to fine-tune our computational abilities. Explore the ideas which have practical applications and leave the metaphysics to the philosophers...

xox said:
Just assume that the laws of physics have no end....
Well that's a pessimistic view! I assume that at some point we are going to discover that the universe is governed by some incredibly simple equation, like x=y+42 or something.
joeyd999 said:
Okay, but even supposing we do at some point nail down some finite set of "intrinsic" principles, that still isn't enough! Because the mere interaction of these creates more complex "emergent" mechanisms which must in turn effectively be treated as laws in their own right. For example, no simple equation could possibly explain the fact that a specific density of mass spontaneously results in the formation of a main-sequence star, or that a similar configuration of neutrons results in a pulsar, or that an even denser configuration of mass yields a black hole from which nothing escapes...oh except for when they are exceptionally massive, in which case these weird jets of material are ejected from the poles, etc, etc, etc.
Even things that we sort of accept as laws are really just convenient statistical models for dealing with computations that are simply impossible to calculate by other means, such as temperature (average kinetic energy of a system of a gazillion particles) or quantum mechanics (probability density functions which allow us to make some very accurate predictions about systems of incredible complexity).
And anyway how useful would it be, really, to attempt to use M-theory or something to describe the citric-acid cycle of cells or what have you? At the end of the day we just need some sort of model that best fits the problem being solved.

The Obsessions of Lord Godfrey Cavanaugh, by Stephanie Laurens
July 30, 2020	Lark_Bookwyrm	Book Reviews	0 ★★★
The Obsessions of Lord Godfrey Cavanaugh by Stephanie Laurens
Genres: Historical Romance
Also by this author: A Match for Marcus Cynster, By Winter's Light, The Lady's Command, The Greatest Challenge of Them All, A Conquest Impossible to Resist
The scion of a noble house brought low by a storm and the lady who nurses him back to health strive to unravel a web of deception that threatens her family and forces them to fight for what they hold most dear—family, each other, and love.
Lord Godfrey Cavanaugh has no thoughts of marrying as he drives into North Yorkshire on a plum commission for the National Gallery to authenticate a Renaissance painting the gallery wishes to purchase. Then a snow storm sweeps in, and Godfrey barely manages to haul himself, his groom, and his horses to their destination.
Elinor Hinckley, eldest daughter of Hinckley Hall, stalwart defender of the family, right arm to her invalid father, and established spinster, knows full well how much her family has riding on the sale of the painting and throws herself into nursing the initially delirious gentleman who holds her family's future in his hands.
But Godfrey proves to be a far from easy patient. Through Ellie's and her siblings' efforts to keep him entertained and abed, Godfrey grows to know the family, appreciating and, ultimately, being drawn into family life of a sort he's never known.
Eventually, to everyone's relief, he recovers sufficiently to assess the painting—only to discover that nothing, but nothing, is as it seems.
Someone has plans, someone other than the Hinckleys, but who is pulling the strings is a mystery that Godfrey and Ellie find near-impossible to solve. Every suspect proves to have perfectly understandable, albeit hidden reasons for their behavior, and Godfrey and Ellie remain baffled.
Until the villain, panicked by their inquiries, strikes—directly at them—and forces them both to acknowledge what has grown to be the most important thing in their lives. Both are natural defenders of the weak, and neither will give up. Together, they battle to save not just themselves, not just her family, but their futures. Hers, his, and theirs.
A bland romance
I can't pinpoint exactly why, but to me, Laurens's recent books lack the fire, intensity, and excitement of her earlier Cynster, Bastion Club, and Black Cobra books. It's not that there's anything really wrong with the books (nothing major, anyway.) They just feel… bland. And this book is particularly so. Neither the romance nor the surrounding events evoke much tension or suspense, even in moments of danger. The books in the authors' earlier series compelled me to keep reading. This one, not so much.
Godfrey Cavanaugh and Ellie Hinkley are pleasant enough as people; I'm sure I would enjoy meeting them in real life. But neither character commands the reader's attention in the way that Devil and Honoria (Devil's Bride) or Gabriel and Althea (A Secret Love) do. Their attraction feels formulaic. Ellie's decision to pursue the attraction between them seems sudden, arbitrary and out of character, although once she makes that choice, her words and actions are consistent with her honest and forthright personality. The mystery in this book… isn't all that much of a mystery, and except for one scene, there's no real sense of danger or threat — usually a hallmark of Laurens's romances. I liked the book, but in the mild way that one likes vanilla ice cream or a plain sugar cookie.
On another note, there is an error that has driven me nuts in a few of Laurens's most recent books: her misunderstanding of the title "Lord" (or "Lady".) As a courtesy title, it is customarily granted to the children of dukes and marquesses, of which Godfrey is one. He would correctly be styled "Lord Godfrey Cavanaugh" — but never "Lord Cavanaugh." Cavanaugh is the family name, not a title; he should therefore properly be addressed as "Lord Godfrey." To be fair, Laurens mostly gets that right in this book (though she consistently gets it wrong in The Pursuits of Lord Kit Cavanaugh.) But at one point in this book, Godfrey says to Ellie,
"I want to put my ring on your finger and change your name to Lady Godfrey Cavanaugh." He paused, then amended, "Eleanor, Lady Cavanaugh."
Godfrey's wife would be Lady Godfrey Cavanaugh; she should be addressed as Lady Godfrey, not Lady Cavanaugh. She would certainly not be "Eleanor, Lady Cavanaugh." Anyone who has been writing British historical romance as long as Stephanie Laurens has should not be making such a fundamental mistake. (I hereby refer her to the Wikipedia page on courtesy titles.) It's this kind of sloppy research and writing that throws me completely out of the story and makes it difficult for me to lose myself in it again.
(As a side note, why does Godfrey, that connoisseur of art, never mention the artist Gerrard Debbington, to whom he is distantly connected through his eldest brother's marriage to Mary Cynster? It seems inevitable that the Cynsters would have introduced a young man with Godfrey's interest in art to their very own artistic lion. And indeed, Godfrey does mention the Cynster connection in another context… but not Gerrard. It struck me as distinctly odd.)
Honestly, if you are new to Stephanie Laurens, start with her first Cynster series, beginning with Devil's Bride. As for me, I have stuck with the Cavanaugh and Cynster next-gen series out of nostalgia, but I don't know how much longer I will keep going. I really miss the compelling intensity of her earlier and better books. Thank goodness for rereading!

Q: Download images from a CSV / XLS catalog EDIT:
I found this code to download images from an xls file.
Source: GET pictures from a url and then rename the picture
Code:
Option Explicit

Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" _
Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" (ByVal pCaller As Long, _
ByVal szURL As String, ByVal szFileName As String, _
ByVal dwReserved As Long, ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long

Dim Ret As Long

'~~> This is where the images will be saved. Change as applicable
Const FolderName As String = "C:\Temp\"

Sub Sample()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim LastRow As Long, i As Long
    Dim strPath As String

    '~~> Name of the sheet which has the list
    Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")

    LastRow = ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

    For i = 2 To LastRow '<~~ 2 because row 1 has headers
        strPath = FolderName & ws.Range("A" & i).Value & ".jpg"

        Ret = URLDownloadToFile(0, ws.Range("B" & i).Value, strPath, 0, 0)

        If Ret = 0 Then
            ws.Range("C" & i).Value = "File successfully downloaded"
        Else
            ws.Range("C" & i).Value = "Unable to download the file"
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

It works fine with xls files, where "PIC NAME" and "URL" are in two separate columns. I have a csv file and, unlike xls, csv has it's values in one column separated by "|" (PIC NAME|URL). So - being a noob at coding - as a workaround, I used "Text to columns" in Excel to divide the lines into 2 separate columns right down the delimiter "|", that way I can use the original code.
QUESTION: is there a way to make the code work with a csv file? This would make it much faster and easier to extract images from big csv files with thousands of lines.

A: Since VBA provides automation for Excel everything that you can do manually also can be automated by VBA. Excel even has a macro recorder integrated that automatically converts all user action into VBA code. This answer explains how it works: Excel's Macro-Recorder usage
This can be used to see what kind of VBA code the Text to columns function generates. If you clean up the code a bit you end up with this VBA command:
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A1") _
                      , DataType:=xlDelimited _
                      , Other:=True _
                      , OtherChar:="|"

Make sure that you replace Selection by the whole range that you imported to Excel or that you select the whole range before you execute the code. Also replace Range("A1") by the range where you want the result to be written to.
It should be noted though that it is not very efficient to write stuff into excel cells just to parse those cells afterwards. A cleaner solution to your problem would be to read the downloaded file line by line and parse each line to your needs.
Luckily there is already a solution for that: Read lines from a text file but skip the first two lines

Effingham County, feature, Governor, IDOC
Effingham Mayor Bloemker resigns from Illinois Department of Corrections after internal investigation -
EFFINGHAM, IL. (ECWd) -
According to 979 XFM, Effingham Mayor Jeff Bloemker has resigned his position with the Illinois Department of Corrections. He was appointed to the position of CEO of Illinois Correctional Industries by Gov. Rauner.
XFM says Bloemker provided a written statement saying in part that "The intense pace and heavy travel demands involved in being the CEO of Illinois Correctional Industries put too much a stress on me as a father of three, a husband, and a mayor. I have therefore resigned my position with the Illinois Department of Corrections."
Continue reading the article on 979XFM website (here).
In June, we wrote about IDOC's internal investigation into Bloemker's alleged improper use of state time and state vehicles for non-state business (click here), which violates IDOT policies. We suspect the stress he cited was more related to the investigation of his activities as an IDOC employee. His resignation from Executive Director of Heartland Human Services last year carried the same tone. In that
His resignation from Executive Director of Heartland Human Services last year carried the same tone. In that resignation he claimed his departure would allow the social services agency to consider new leadership options, as if they didn't have that right anyway.
Good riddance, and let us hope that his replacement will follow state law.


Most of the young women participating in the Miss America pageant sang, danced, or played an instrument during the talent portion of the competition. But Kelley Johnson, Miss Colorado, did something much different, reports NJ.com. Instead of showing off her skills, she simply walked on stage in her nurse scrubs and gave a touching monologue about her important work. This clip of the short speech has instantly gone viral with over 3 million views!


You can work as a certified nursing assistant in a long-term care facility if you hold an active and valid CNA certification in your state. You will play an important role in the lives of patients at the long-term care facility where you work. Each day you will have a lot of tasks and duties to complete.
If you work in a long-term care facility, you will likely work with patients of varying levels of health. You will work primarily with elderly people. There might also be some individuals with severe and chronic health conditions who are not elderly. For example, sometimes people with progressive MS must live in a long-term care facility.
When working in a long-term care facility, you will help to record patient vital signs and other details. You will contact a nurse or doctor (depending on the instructions you are given when hired) if you notice that there is a decline in a patient's health or if they are developing a new illness, complication or injury. You must keep carefully records when working as a CNA.
There will be some residents in a long-term care facility who need a high level of care. Some residents will need to be changed because they can no longer use the restroom on their own. You will have some residents that you will completely bathe, dress and groom. There are some patients who will need you to feed them so they can eat safely. If you have residents that are unable to move on their own, you will help to transport them when they need to go to other areas of the long-term care facility.
Nursing assistants play an important role in helping patients to avoid the development of bedsores. If patients are able to be mobile on their own, you can help them to get up and moving so that they are not laying in one spot too long. You will help to rotate and move residents in their bed to prevent bedsores if they cannot move on their own.
Some residents will simply need assistance with most of their daily activities. They might need a little help with dressing and bathing. Some residents will need some assistance getting in and out of bed and walking to other areas of the facility. Some residents will need you to push them in a wheelchair. They might also need help completing their range of motion activities.
When you work as a CNA, you will often respond to call bells. You will respond to residents when they need some extra help. Some residents will be in overall good health and will just need some light and general assistance throughout the day.
If you work as a CNA in a long-term care facility, you will help to protect a resident's privacy when family members and other people are visiting. Throughout the day you will do your part to keep residents happy and safe.
In some cases, you might be helping to deliver medication to patients. This will depend on regulations in your state and the facility for which you work. You might also help to change dressings for patients who need wound care and perform some other basic first aid care.
There is a lot you will do while working as a certified nursing assistant in long-term care facility. You will be an important member of the team at the facility.

Home Reports Company & Industry Overviews Will Tesla's China-Made Model 3 Up Its Profit Game?
Will Tesla's China-Made Model 3 Up Its Profit Game?
By Anuradha Garg
Tesla (TSLA) is in the process of building its China Gigafactory, its first factory outside the US. It will also be China's first auto factory solely owned by a foreign automaker. Other automakers, including Ford Motor Company (F) and General Motors (GM), have entered the Chinese market through joint ventures. Through its Gigafactory 3, Tesla will be producing China-made Model 3s and Model Ys. The company and many market participants believe that this factory could make a visible change to Tesla's profitability profile going forward.
Tesla's China Gigafactory's impressive progress
One thing about the China Gigafactory that's surprised bulls and bears alike is the impressive progress the facility has made. The ground on the facility was broken only in January. During Tesla's third-quarter earnings call, Elon Musk said, "While a lot of people see the outside show the factory, which is enormous, and it was essentially under water in January." Going from underwater to production trial runs in about ten months is definitely a big feat.
China's support for Tesla's China factory
China's government has also been supporting the building of Tesla's Gigafactory. It recently exempted Tesla from a 10% purchase tax restriction. The exemption becomes even more important when we consider that China made an exception for the company. Usually, only domestic carmakers or joint ventures qualify.
China-built Tesla Model 3s ready
Currently, the company imports all the cars it sells in China. With the starting of the Shanghai Gigafactory, the company won't need to import Model 3s anymore. This is particularly important for the company because of the heated trade war between the US and China. With China-built cars, Tesla will be able to avoid a lot of tariffs. Due to the tariffs and related currency volatility, Tesla had to increase the prices of its cars in China in August.
Tesla's costs in China: Lower than in the US?
After the full ramp-up of the factory, however, car prices are expected to come down in China. The price fall could be the result of two major factors. Firstly, as we discussed above, Tesla should be able to avoid costly tariffs. Secondly, its China Gigafactory is expected to be cost efficient compared to its US factory. Tesla should, therefore, be able to pass on some cost savings to consumers. Tesla mentioned in a press release in October 2018 that it was "operating at a 55% to 60% cost disadvantage compared to the exact same car locally produced in China."
China cost advantage
Baron Capital founder and ardent Tesla bull Ron Baron also noted that Tesla is "building for 70% less than it would cost for the same cars to build in the United States." Tesla's manufacturing costs in China will mainly be aided by optimizations and all that the company has learned from its experiences in US manufacturing. Also, supply and labor costs in China are lower than in the US. Teslarati reported that Tesla will produce batteries, do vehicle assembly, and drive units at one site at the Gigafactory 3. This same process is split between its Nevada and Fremont factories in the US. This integration is also expected to drive efficiencies and reduce costs.
China's auto demand stalling
Investors should note that overall auto demand and demand for EVs in China have been stalling in recent months. Chinese EV markers, including BYD (BYDDF) and NIO (NIO), are reeling from the subsidy rollback and current slowdown. Tesla, however, never got the benefit of subsidies in the first place. If anything, the rollback will be beneficial for Tesla and other foreign EV makers.
Tesla's China-centric marketing strategy
Tesla is also approaching the Chinese market from a slightly different perspective. While Musk's disdain for marketing is well known, Tesla is following a marketing strategy of a different kind in China. In contrast to closing retail stores elsewhere, the company is opening stores in China. It's also organized races and showroom parties to spread awareness about its brand. In the overcrowded EV market in China, it will need to compete on several fronts to grab additional market share.
China-made Model 3 launch
On November 11, Bloomberg reported that Tesla had unveiled its first vehicles built in China. It noted, "The first Model 3 sedans came in blue and were emblazoned with the brand name in Chinese characters." Steelguru further reported that while the exact launch date of the China-built Model 3 hasn't yet been confirmed, as per some media reports, the date could be November 11.
As the US auto market is slowing, China's Gigafactory could be a long-term demand driver for Tesla. While the company plans to produce about 3,000 Model 3s in the initial phases, Musk is expecting demand of nearly 5,000 units per week.
On November 11, Jefferies also raised TSLA's target price from $300 to $400. The company notes that Tesla's gross margin level is consistent with sustained profitability.

ers she had come to know and drafted the manuscript of her second novel, The Lost Traveler (1958). Among her new friends in Mexico were novelist B. Traven, dancer Waldeen, instrumental in integrating Mexican folk dance into classical ballet, and numerous blacklisted Hollywood writers such as Albert Maltz, Bernard Gordon, and Cedric Belfrage.
Returning to Los Angeles she continued to write and publish well into her eighties. In the 1950s and '60s she met regularly with a writers' group that included Ray Bradbury, Esther McCoy, Sid Stebel, Bonnie Barrett Wolfe, C. Y. Lee, Peg Nixon, Richard Bach, and Dolph Sharp. Revived interest in the radical literature of the 1930s, spurned by publishers during the repressive Cold War years, prompted Babb after some sixty years to release the re-edited manuscript of Whose Names Are Unknown. Its publication in 2004 won enthusiastic critical praise, including a Los Angeles Times review claiming that Babb's Dust Bowl novel rivaled Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. Sanora Babb continues to gain a steadily growing readership and critical recognition as a novelist of extraordinary sensitivity, valued for her clarity, honesty, and craftsmanship. Other publications include the novels The Lost Traveler (1958), An Owl on Every Post (1971), a collection of short stories entitled The Cry of the Tinamou (1997), and a book of poems, Told in the Seed. Preceded in death by her sister Dorothy in 1995, Sanora died at age 98 on December 31, 2005, at her home in Hollywood, California.

This article is about the singer Steven Morrissey, who is more commonly known as Morrissey. For other meanings of the word see Morrissey (disambiguation).
Steven Patrick Morrissey, (born May 22, 1959, Manchester, England), who has since dropped his forenames to become Morrissey, was the lead singer of The Smiths. After the band broke up in 1987, Morrissey developed a successful solo career.
The Smiths were seen by many to be a landmark band of the 1980s post-punk era. Morrissey's ambiguous sexuality, provocative iconoclasm, and heartfelt lyrical compositions blended with guitarist Johnny Marr's highly melodic songwriting to stun listeners. The band became an enormous success in the UK, Ireland, and Australia while only a cult obsession in the United States of America, doing quite well on college radio charts.
The band broke up due to conflict between Morrissey and Marr, after an enormously productive period from 1985 to 1987 when they released several highly successful albums: Meat Is Murder, Strangeways, Here We Come, and the colossal hit The Queen is Dead (a regular member of "Best Albums of All Time" lists and easily one of the most influential of the 1980s).
Morrissey's work, both solo and with the Smiths, has long held a special place within England's artistic community as well as, separately, the gay community in general. His amibigous demeanor and song titles (especially the rare "I Want a Boy for my Birthday") left many people smiling to themselves. His witty but often acidic lyrics seldom stand on ceremony and usually say exactly what they mean.
Morrissey's subsequent career has provided equally influential albums and in 1994 he achieved his highest ever chart position with the best-selling Vauxhall and I (1994) and its single "The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get". After producing several albums in the early years of his solo career with a production outfit not unlike his collaboration with Marr, Morrissey moved on from the songwriting services of Stephen Street for Viva Hate (1988) and Bona Drag (1990) and Mark Nevin for Kill Uncle (1991). The band he assembled for 1992's hit album Your Arsenal sharply renewed his sound and sales success with a fresh, American rockabilly sound evocative of Marr's melodic seriousness but with rejuvenating rhythmic energy. Composition duties were split between guitarists Boz Boorer and Alain Whyte, who have been the core of Morrissey's band ever since.
Famously uninterested in compromise or record company marketing principles, Morrissey has long suffered the consequences of operating as a quasi-outsider in the music industry. Though his large and rabidly loyal fan base follows his every move, his albums since 1996 had great trouble reaching a wider audience. Between 1999 and 2003, the legendary Morrissey was unable to find a record contract at all (at least one that satisfied his demands).
Accusations of racism meant he spent much of the 1990s maligned, based upon songs such as "Bengali In Platforms" and "The National Front Disco" as well as an ill-advised performance at the first Madness re-union show at Finsbury Park, London draped in the Union Flag.
Morrissey vacated his English home for Los Angeles in the late-1990s and found an entirely new life in the American West. In June, 2003 Sanctuary Records group announced a deal with Morrissey. He was given the one-time reggae label Attack as a platform to record new material and, reportedly, to sign new artists.
Morrissey's latest, titled You Are the Quarry was released on May 17, 2004 (but one day later in the US). Guitarist Alain Whyte described the work as a mix between Your Arsenal and Vauxhall and I, and the album has received strong reviews. The first single, "Irish Blood, English Heart" debuted on KROQ on March 22, 2004 and was released internationally on May 10, 2004. The single reached No.3 in its first week of sales in the UK Official Charts. This is the highest placing chart position for Morrissey in his entire career as both a solo artist and the lead singer of The Smiths.
In June 2004 the British newspaper The Observer asked Morrissey what his top ten favourite British albums were. He responded he could only think of one great British album: For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music.


Leica Gallery Prague in co-operation with Centre tchèque de Paris present the exhibition of the leading contemporary Czech photographer Vaclav Jirasek - Industria. These works touch upon the highly compelling theme of the disappearance of these "cathedrals of labour", symbols of progress since the early 19th century, which later, in the ideology and propaganda of the Communist regime played a particularly significant, if nevertheless ambiguous, role. Within the process of their present metamorphoses, we can quite clearly discern, in addition, the depth of the changes that have occurred since Communism's fall in 1989. The deserted spaces of manufacturing halls remain, to this day, evidence of the environmental devastation caused by their industrial production, yet as well bear forth traces of the need, at least to some degree, to render these life-threatening working environments a sense of humanity. Václav Jirásek strives to underscore the monumentality of industrial buildings, as a reflection of humanity's ability to reach for the very bounds of the human dimensions, yet at the same time not to avoid depicting the negative aspects of this process."

This topic contains 2 replies, has 2 voices, and was last updated by Kittykatc 3 days ago.
I only recently (a few months) started doing gesture and figure quick-sketches, but I almost never got my work critiqued, so your thoughts would be really appreciated.
The source of the reference, if you'd like to check, is Croquis Café's figuary day 4.
I think I messed up the 5-min pose, to be honest. I feel it's too short to think about the forms, but too long to just get quick gestural line. Any tips on that?
Your drawings look good! Gesture drawings aren't usually going to look like a finished drawing, unless you plan to spend hours and hours on it. A successful gesture drawing will show how the basic form of the body is moving in the pose, aim for the flow rather than details.
The proportions read well, but your line quality is detracting from the overall sketch. Keep up the good work, I hope I helped!
