Hate to fire up the oven to cook something small or need a second or third oven to get everything for dinner ready? The Wisco 00425C Digital/Multi Purpose Oven gives you the ability to cook on the counter top and enjoy delicious foods that taste oven baked.
The Wisco 00425C Digital/Multi Purpose Oven lets you bake fresh or frozen pizza in no time. Its 13-inch by 13-inch cooking surface gives you the ability to cook a pie up to 12 inches in diameter with ease.

Use it to make golden brown soft pretzels or to evenly toast your favorite sandwich. It's also a great extra oven to help with holiday cookie baking, and it can be used in commercial settings to heat up frozen fare.
The Wisco 00425C Digital/Multi Purpose Oven measures 8 inches in height by 15 inches in length by 18 inches in width, making it compact to fit on any counter. Despite a small footprint, its interior is still generously sized to accommodate an array of foods. The wide mouth allows you to slide a pizza or other fare in with ease. A 6-foot long power cord gives you plenty of reach to plug the appliance in.
You don't need to master a series of complicated dials or buttons to use the Wisco 00425C Digital/Multi Purpose Oven. Its controls are straightforward, and its digital display ensures ease of operation. You can set the cooking timer for as little as 30 minutes or allow your food to cook for hours.
When you're finished using the Wisco 00425C Digital/Multi Purpose Oven, you can have it clean in minutes. Its crumb tray slides out for fast emptying. Constructed out of stainless steel, the pizza oven resists rust and corrosion to last through years of use in residential or commercial settings.

DeLorean Alpha5 reimagines icon for electric era, hits 88 mph in 4.4 seconds
Joel Feder May 30, 2022 Comment Now!
The DeLorean has finally returned, but instead of a flux capacitor the reborn icon is battery powered.
On Monday, the DeLorean Alpha5 broke cover in its production design ahead of the car's formal online debut set for May 31. With gullwing doors, seating for four, and lots of LED lightning, the car features a few nods to the past while firmly planting itself in the electric era.
DeLorean Alpha5
Not going back to the future
Like the DMC-12 of the late 1970s, the Alpha5 was penned by Italdesign. However, it's not a throwback or typical reimagination of a cult classic, and the body is not made of stainless steel. The clean-sheet design features horizontal LED headlights and taillights, a fan-like wheel design, massive gullwing doors, gullwing outlines in the lower front grille and rear valence, a louver-like design on the rear window, and the world DeLorean on the left side of the rear bumper, but the nods to the past seem to stop there.
The cabin appears to be completely modern with an almost Porsche Taycan-like design. A digital gauge cluster and floating touchscreen infotainment system grab the eyes, and the climate controls are set low behind the touchscreen infotainment system. Based on photos, the four seats are upholstered in a wool-like material, possibly with some leather portions. The rear seats are full size, but they may lack much leg room, possibly making the car a 2+2 rather than a true four seater.
This baby is electric
Initial specs revealed align with what DeLorean Motor Company CEO Joost DeVries told Motor Authority in March.
The Alpha5's battery pack is larger 100 kwh and can fast charge at a rate of about 150 kw. DeLorean says the range will exceed 300 miles thanks in part to an estimated 0.23 coefficient of drag.
DeLorean hasn't talked about the Alpha5's motors yet, but Chief Marketing Officer Troy Beetz told MA "You could assume that with most EV sports cars, all-wheel drive would be a must as would a flat floor battery." We take that to mean there will be a motor up front and one in the back.
DeLorean said the Alpha5 has an estimated top speed of 155 mph, sprints from 0-60 mph in 3.0 seconds, and hits 88 mph in 4.4 seconds. Any speculation that it travels back in time at that speed is purely conjecture.
Beetz told MA the new DeLorean will "be a driver's car, bringing back the joy of driving." De Vries followed with, "in other words, it's not an iPad on wheels."
The original DeLorean DMC-12 was 168.0 inches long and 78.3-inches wide, with a 95.0-inch wheelbase. The Alpha5 larger in every way, at 196.7-inches long, 80.5-inches wide, and a 90.6-inch wheelbase.
DeVries told MA the reborn DeLorean will be based on a new chassis structure with a carbon-fiber tub.
The Alpha5 will make its public debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d 'Elegance Award ramp on Aug. 18 and appear on the Concept Lawn during Monterey Car Week on Aug. 21.
DeVries told MA DeLorean can't survive as a company with just a coupe as it's a niche market. Other models are set to augment the Alpha5. Quietly placed on the Alpha5 microsite are the graphics for an Alpha, Alpha2, and Alpha3. Curiously absent is an Alpha4. No information on these other models has been shared or teased, but DeVries told MA these other vehicles will represent larger segments in the marketplace and each will feature its own platform.

How do I use Earth's Ally Weed and Grass Killer?
We recommend incorporating the mantra, "Sunshine, Shake & Saturate." For best results, shake the bottle and spray weeds on a bright, sunny day. Sunlight is important because in combination with the natural ingredients, it puts the weeds into distress. About 4-5 sprays per weed will get most to brown in 3 hours and kill weeds to the root on the first pass. For stubborn, mature weeds you may need to spray a second or third time.
Will Earth's Ally Weed and Grass Killer kill to the roots?
Earth's Ally Weed and Grass Killer kills common weeds like broadleaf, dandelion, clover, ivy, chickweed and crabgrass down to the roots. It's best to use the spray on warm, sunny days in areas like driveways, patio pavers and sidewalks, where pulling weeds by hand often causes them to break off.
Can I plant in areas where I've used Earth's Ally Weed and Grass Killer?
Earth's Ally Weed & Grass Killer has zero pre-emergent properties and will not prevent the future growth of plants in the area where it was used, so you can replant or sod in the area you've treated once it's dry.
Will Earth's Ally Weed and Grass Killer work on poison ivy?
Unfortunately, Earth's Ally Weed & Grass Killer will not be effective at eliminating woody stemmed ivies like poison ivy and poison oak, because of the structure of the plant. Earth's Ally is a non-selective herbicide that's highly effective at killing broadleaf weeds that you may have on other parts of your property.
When should I use Earth's Ally Insect Control?
Earth's Ally Insect Control is effective at killing and repelling soft-bodied insects. Use Earth's Ally Insect Control when you start to see bugs or evidence they've been there, like little nibbles on the leaves of your plants. Fully saturate the stems and leaves of the plant you're treating, including the underside of the leaves. Continue to use Earth's Ally Insect Control as a repellent by spraying every week.
When should I use Earth's Ally Disease Control?
Earth's Ally Disease Control is a broad-spectrum fungicide that will work on a wide variety of plant diseases. Use Earth's Ally Disease Control when you start to see the first signs of plant disease. When you see black spots, powdery mildew, discoloration and fungus, spray the stems and the leaves of the plant, spray every 5 days until the disease is gone. It can take up to 3-4 weeks to treat heavy disease. Continue to use Earth's Ally Disease Control as a preventative treatment by spraying every week.
Are Earth's Ally formulas organic?
Earth's Ally Insect Control and Disease Control formulas are OMRI Listed® for use in organic gardening. Earth's Ally Weed and Grass Killer contains no harsh chemicals and is formulated with natural ingredients like sea salt, soap and vinegar.
What does OMRI Listed® mean?
"OMRI" stands for Organic Material Review Institute, an independent non-profit organization that reviewed and determined Earth's Ally Insect Control and Disease Control products are compliant with certified organic standards and approved for use in organic gardening.
Are Earth's Ally products EPA registered?
Earth's Ally products are exempt from registration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under FIFRA 25(b) which classifies our formulas as posing minimum risk when used as directed.
What does FIFRA 25(b) mean?
"FIFRA" stands for the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. A FIFRA 25(b) designation means our ingredients are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) and our formulas are classified as "minimum risk" when used as directed.
Are Earth's Ally formulas safe for pollinators?
At Earth's Ally, we are committed to protecting our pollinators. Every formula is independently tested and proven safe for the bee population, a vital part of our food supply.
Are Earth's Ally products safe to use around my pets?
Earth's Ally products are specifically formulated with natural, non-toxic ingredients to be safe for People, Pets & Planet.
Are Earth's Ally products safe to use around ponds? Will they harm frogs or fish?
Earth's Ally products are specifically formulated with natural, non-toxic ingredients to be safe for People, Pets & Planet. Earth's Ally formulas do not pose any threat to water sources or aquatic life.
Is Earth's Ally made in the USA?
Earth's Ally products are manufactured by Sarasota Green Group, LLC and proudly made in the USA.


June is literally here and I'm not going to lie, I'm loving the summer vibes, but I can't believe my littlest baby Eli is already 7 months! Give me a second while I go ugly cry!
Eli is over half a year old and I'm stoked to do all sorts of activities with him and Kaden. Here in Central Florida most days our weather can be unpredictable, nonetheless, it's always HOT. Making swimming one of the top summer essentials. Lately, we've often used our Infant Baby Spring Float by Swimways! I am getting Eli fully comfortable with our pool by taking him in every other weekend. He's absolutely loving it!
The brand Swimways is one of the top leading industries that promote water safety and proper swimming skills. We were sent this particular Infant Baby Spring Float because it is designed for infants 3-9 months of age. Eli has been introduced to the water since he was about 4 months old. Thanks to the Infant Baby Spring Float it was a fun and positive experience for him! He feels secure and supported in the seat while it cradles him and creates a comfort level of water interaction. Personally, this is incredibly convenient for moms that like to hang out in the pool too, you don't have to worry about carrying baby the whole time!
Our oldest Kaden was a natural water baby, but Eli wasn't so fond of it when we introduced him for the first time.
I would suggest purchasing this Infant Baby Spring Float for newborns. That way they aren't exposed to the sun (SPF of 50+) and they'll feel close to mom/dad/etc.
Gently splash water on their legs to help get them more comfortable, Eli found it soothing when I rubbed water on his chunky thighs.
If it's the first time, try to get them in the water when there's not much commotion going on. If you're on vacation or family gathering, I'd take them to a less busy section of the pool.
It's okay if they freak out lol. You won't want to force it. If baby isn't happy with the experience, just try again another time!
For more tips be sure to see Teach Me To Swim section.
We can't wait to keep using this throughout the summer here in our pool and our family outings too! Eli is simply the happiest and calm little babe when hanging out with his brother and I at the pool. I'm glad he truly enjoys it! Do you have a specific item or method to teach your babies how to swim?

Resources for 'Trailer Park Activists of Coachella Valley'
In this podcast, "Trailer Park Activists of Coachella Valley Fight for Health," you heard about the plight of Eastern Coachella Valley trailer park residents who face health issues because they live close to pesticide-laden fields and illegal dumps, live in overcrowded mobile home parks and a lack of access to safe drinking water, electricity, proper sanitation and green spaces.
However, rising education rates and promotores (community-based health activists and educators) bring hope to this region. In addition, organizations like Pueblo Unido work to build sustainable communities in the Eastern Coachella Valley. For more information about the demographics in Coachella Valley, the studies conducted by California institutions, promotores and Pueblo Unido, we have provided additional links below.
[Image: A hand-written sign warns Duroville mobile home park residents in Thermal, California, to stay away from a waste pond on the neighboring property. (Credit: Roberto (Bear) Guerra, 2010)]
In this podcast, journalist Ruxandra Guidi says researchers found that income inequality has everything to do with the fact that migrant populations typically face extreme levels of environmental hazards. But what are the disparities in poverty rates in Coachella Valley between different races and ethnicities? How much of Coachella Valley is made up of migrants? The population of Coachella is 97.6% Hispanic or Latino, with 39.3% of its residents born outside of the country, according to Data USA, a database of public U.S. government data displayed comprehensively through charts and statistics. Data USA also breaks down many other statistics about the economy, health, diversity, education, housing and living in Coachella.
Journalist Ruxandra Guidi also writes more about specific promotores in Eastern Coachella Valley, like Griselda Barrera and Eduardo Guevara, and the work of Pueblo Unido in Eastern Coachella Valley for High Country News.
Pueblo Unido, the organization in Eastern Coachella Valley creating a healthier and more sustainable model for a mobile park community, has several projects underway including its Rural Infrastructure Program, Rural Habitat initiative, CDC Community Driven Model and more which the organization discusses in depth on its website.
Promotores help their communities as community organizers, doctors and nurses, advising on ways to improve the system and helping researchers assess the quality of life. However, promotores are not only making a difference in Eastern Coachella Valley. The Center for Well-Being in Santa Rosa, Calif. also created a program built around Promotores de Salud to foster community leaders who will encourage healthier environments in local communities. In addition, Planned Parenthood created its own Promotores de Salud programs in Los Angeles, supporting its Latino community.
In this podcast, Guidi says more and more young people who grew up in the mobile home parks of Eastern Coachella Valley are going to college. Desert Sun provides an article discussing the correlation between education and the economy and the efforts of Coachella districts to support students' learning. According to the article, Coachella has seen increased education levels with 32 percent of students graduating from high school in 2000 compared to nearly half of students graduating from high school in 2014.
University of California, Davis is one of several institutions creating ongoing assessments of the local quality of life in Eastern Coachella Valley. The UC Davis Center for Regional Change provides a summary of their study about the environmental hazards in Eastern Coachella Valley as well as the full report of its findings.

Emilia is an Icelandic based designer creating international projects for the commercial, residential and hospitality sectors.
The home can be an eclectic collection of things you have collected throughout your lifetime. I love working with homeowners to define the atmosphere they are looking for and study the different rooms and how the family utilises them.
Office space is changing fast. Companies are moving from cubicles and fixed spaces. Instead we find collaboration, teamwork, enjoyment and enthusiasm being the key concepts companies, large and small, are looking for. Having worked with companies in the United States as well as Iceland, I find it important to study how people work, spend time getting to know the team and capture the essence of the brand.
Hotels and restaurants are always a fun challenge. Working closely with owners and key personnel I work to understand the spirit, brand experience, menu and overall feeling and experience we are creating. No accommodation, watering hole or eatery is the same.
The Sebastopol occasional tables are designed for Coalesse. The tables come in two configurations with two heights. The combination options make the tables unique in various settings, encouraging interaction and flexibility at the same time. The tables were awarded Gold Award at the NeoCon in Chicago in 2011.
Once you take a seat in Surtur you will quickly want to rotate to the side and get your legs on the side mantle and lounge for the rest of the day. With a nod to the mid-century Scandinavian design tradition the lounge is a asymmetrical sculpture with the shape of the volcanic island Surtsey the main inspiration.
The latest addition in the expanding flora of cool bars and restaurants in downtown Reykjavik. Brew Dog is a Scottish network of craft beer bars is known for their punk attitude. In collaboration with Grafit we gave them punk.
This mini tear-drop trailer is just what you need if you want to experience the adventure of traveling around Iceland without compromising on luxury. With comfy duvets on a nice double bed and heat you can watch the stars or northern lights through a sky roof. If you are hungry you simply pop open the back where you have a fully equipped kitchenette. Now you can rent them in Iceland from Mink Campers but soon you can also rent them in Norway and Scotland.

Over 3 years have passed since the PS4 hit the stores and still no Ace Combat games have been published.
If you read my previous Ace Combat-related articles you'll know how much I love this game genre and how good in the past the partnership between Sony and Namco was.
Despite its vantage point, Ace Combat ended up like other games: in the attempt for something new, it first improved with absolute masterpieces like The Unsung War and The Belkan War and then lost himself shifting toward a genre that is more similar to a Tom Clancy's product than a Namco game.
In particular, the Strangereal setup, the alternative universe composed of real-world current and near-future weapons, was lost with Ace Combat: Assault Horizon in leu of a modern plot that features the "usual" landscapes of the USA, Africa, Russia and so on. I actually cannot report about Ace Combat 6, being this last title an XBox exclusive.
Thank God Namco has finally decided to go back to Strangereal in order to make this one the best Ace Combat ever. You will be put in the cockpit of the most advanced warplanes to experience intense dog-fighting action while flying in a photorealistic world. Producers promise the plot to be highly immersive, with charismatic characters and a complex storyline. Furthermore, part of the game will sport the virtual reality provided by the PlayStation VR.
As already recently happened for other famous franchises (Tomb Raider and Resident Evil) also Ace Combat is now celebrating 20 years of history, so Namco is really motivated to provide his fans with a new breath-taking experience. According to the devs, the most important feature will be a sky full of clouds. As simple as this concept may seem, the point is that we are not talking about a cosmetic feature realized with textures overlays just to make the sky more real, but we'll be dealing with full volumetric clouds made to really enhance your experience.
The Sukhoi Su-27 Cobra manoeuvre. Sweet!
Clouds will be an important tactical feature during dogfighting, giving you the possibility to enter them and hide from your enemy during the most frantic part of the battle. Beware though, since like in real life clouds can be a real danger: aerodynamic surfaces can freeze, leading you to heavy loss of manoeuvrability, a decrease of speed and impending stall. Sure, exiting the cloud will clear the problem, but for a few moments, you are likely to be a sitting duck.
Last known release date for the game was May 2017, all i know now is that it is just pushed forward abit… i guess we will know more at E3 :).
good read and always fun to read your articles about flying games since you being a real pilot and everything.
Wow! Can't wait to see it!!!


Were you looking for information about Causes of Low Testosterone? Causes of low testerone is a common misspelling of causes of low testosterone.
Possible causes of low testosterone can be due to problems in the testes, pituitary gland, or the hypothalamus. These problems can be grouped into two categories: primary male hypogonadism (the problem lies in the testes) and secondary male hypogonadism (the problem is with the hypothalamus or pituitary gland).
Primary male hypogonadism may be caused by things such as undescended testicles, injury to the testes, or infections. With secondary male hypogonadism, causes may include diabetes, high prolactin levels, or infections in the brain.

Emmanuel Kamanzi on Working in Global Health
Director of Campus Development, Emmanuel Kamanzi. Photo by Zack DeClerk/ Partners In Health
Emmanuel Kamanzi has worked for Partners In Health for almost a decade in many places and roles. He's spent the last three years in PIH's Boston office and is now returning home to Rwanda to take on his biggest project yet—overseeing the building and development of the University of Global Health Equity. We asked him to reflect on his career and offer advice to aspiring global health professionals.
Standing on a hill in Burera, a rural district in northern Rwanda, I see other green and terraced hills all around. I can see the beautiful Butaro Hospital across a valley, and to the east is Mount Muhabura, which is home to the gorillas that attract so many tourists every year.
I'm at the construction site of the University of Global Health Equity, which is owned and operated by Partners In Health. Launched in 2015, the institution was founded to train the next generation of global health leaders. I just returned from the United States, where I have been for the last three years, to work as the university's director of campus development.
Several people have come to me for advice on working in global health. They ask whether I am a doctor or a nurse. My answer is always very direct: No. I am trained in business studies, management, and leadership, and I use these skills to make life better for those who need it most.

Abstract: Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in Latin America. There are no vaccines available, the chemotherapy used to treat this illness has serious side effects and its efficacy on the chronic phase of disease is still a matter of debate. In a search for alternative treatment for Chagas disease, essential oils extracted from traditional medicinal plants Lippia sidoides, Lippia origanoides, Chenopodium ambrosioides, Ocimum gratissimum, Justicia pectorales and Vitex agnus-castus were investigated in vitro for trypanocidal and cytotoxic activities. Essential Oils were extracted by hydrodistillation and submitted to chemical analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The concentration of essential oils necessary to inhibit 50% of the epimastigotes or amastigotes growth (IC(50)) and to kill 50% of trypomastigote forms (LC(50)) was estimated. The most prevalent chemical constituents of these essential oils were monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. All essential oils tested demonstrated an inhibitory effect on the parasite growth and survival. L. sidoides and L. origanoides essential oils were the most effective against trypomastigote and amastigote forms respectively. No significant cytotoxic effects were observed in mouse peritoneal macrophages incubated with essential oils which were more selective against the parasites than mammalian cells. Taken together, our results point towards the use of these essential oils as potential chemotherapeutic agent against T. cruzi.

How much cyber risk should an organization take?
I did a video with Joe McCafferty of MISTI last month. He wrote about it here, and you can find the video on YouTube.
I am interested in whether you share my views.
Should we be measuring cyber risk in relation to the potential effect of a breach on business objectives? Or should it be based on the effect on information assets?
Do we know how to assess the level of risk?
Are we doing a good job knowing how much risk we need to take to achieve our objectives? In other words, are we excessively risk averse or embracing of risk—and do we really know whether we are making the right business decision?
Does it all come down to ROI, the cost and the value of additional investment in cyber prevention, detection, response, and remediation?
Are we hyperventilating about cyber when there are more important risks to address?
I welcome your comments and answers.

Thinking Of Remodelling The Kitchen?
The kitchen seems to have a mind of its own. Not just a mind but limbs too. Limbs that takes things places and never keeps anything in the original place it is meant to be. With only just a family of four things can go missing, end up in weird places or re- appear minus a few parts and pieces. For a while I tried to do the whole ''off a Pinterest page '' kitchen and failed miserably. All thanks to my non corporative kids and meddling husband, who for some reason believes he has a say as to where the microwave should sit in the kitchen.
I have been up many nights to figure out the layout of the awesome kitchen that best suits the routine of my family but came to realize that the only routine we stick to is to not have a routine, on days I lay out cereal bowls for breakfast they stick to just grabbing a granola bar, turns outit'smy fault I wasn't listening the grand announcement of my teenager going on a strict diet, starting 4 hours ago.so, down goes fruity loop Mondays in the drain. I thought long and hard because it did not really seem fair to break up a family just because they can't place a cup in the holder, though I have been at my wit's end many times,as a result I settled for the next lucrative option, to do away with my dear kitchen.
Having spent a small fortune with my open kitchen fiasco I could not bring myself to look for professional help so undo my mess so I decided to deal with it myself, 15 years of house keeping could not have been for nothing right?DIY kitchen cabinets is something I had heard of but not really explored as I always believed in letting somebody with expertise handle it , but then it got me thinking, who knows my kitchen better more than I do, and I set to working and I must say I have been loving it.
It is true what they say, everything really is on the internet now and it's amazing!Kitchen doors online are a great way to bring in a pop of colour or an inexpensive new look into your kitchen. They also help with organizational and storage options and helps a lot to keep the kitchen in order.Worried you can't pull it off? If your heart is set on it right quite often we prove to be stronger that we give ourselves credit for. That is why with a few tugs and tweaks and a little help from the boys at home a whole new kitchen can be yours.

Kenny Barron, never less than great; BOTH Grenadier brothers, showing their burning intelligence; Kenny Wollesen, so creative!
Saxophonist/clarinetist Harvey Wainapel (pronounced "wine-apple") has performed with the likes of McCoy Tyner, Joe Lovano, Joe Henderson, Ray Charles and Johnny Coles. Besides working with these and numerous other leaders, Wainapel has toured extensively under his own name, and has performed in 21 countries. His heavy involvement with the music of Brazil has led to performances with masters of the genre such as Airto Moreira, Flora Purim, Dori Caymmi, Guinga, Jovino Santos Neto, Filó Machado, Nelson Ayres, Laércio de Freitas and Manfredo Fest.
Wainapel's CD "The Hang" received a glowing 4-star review from Down Beat magazine, and features pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Larry Grenadier, trumpeter Phil Grenadier, and drummer Kenny Wollesen. His previous release, "Ambrosia: The Music of Kenny Barron," was recorded with Holland's 60-piece Metropole Orchestra. A Jazziz Magazine review of Ambrosia says the CD "offers a better case for concert-hall jazz than many a 'Jazz at Lincoln Center' affair." Wainapel's first release, At Home/On the Road, recorded live on tour in Europe, was described by Cadence as "music that can be played again and again; a clear winner." A duo CD entitled "New Choros of Brazil," recorded in Brazil with master guitarist Paulo Bellinati, was released in Europe in 2004 on the Acoustic Music Records label, and in 2005 on the Proteus Entertainment label (Chicago).
Originally from upstate New York, Wainapel studied at Berklee College of Music for two years, during which time he recorded (and performed at Carnegie Hall) with vibist Gary Burton. Following a two-month tour of Tunisia, Wainapel settled in Europe for five years, including one year with the German Radio Big Band in Frankfurt. Soon after returning to New York, Wainapel was hired by singer Ray Charles for a ten-month world tour, and then moved to San Francisco. Wainapel has been a key contributor to the Bay Area jazz scene for more than 30 years, as well as maintaining an ongoing international impact.
Although his main activity is performing, Wainapel has been generous in sharing the experience gained in a career spanning nearly thirty years; for fifteen years, beginning in the mid-1980s, he was on the Jazz faculty at Sonoma State University and the Stanford Jazz Workshop, and currently continues giving workshops around the world.
It is shame that such talent is not recognized more in the jazz world. We're so hip right? We know good music when we hear it. This guy is a major talent. I saw him play with Lovano at a Stanford Jazz Workshop years ago and realized he should be headlining his own gigs all over the place. This album is fantastic. Inventive, soulful and just frigging great. Buy it. If it was an LP it would be all but unplayable by now.
Harvey- why aren't you playing more locally? (in the SF Bay Area).
Incredible tunes and musicianship - World Class!
Listen to Harvey's sax and clarinet playing backed by the best! Flawless, soulful execution, beautifully recorded and produced. Kenny Barron is remarkable as always, but seems to hook up with Harvey's melodies and chord structures perfectly for a remarkable fit. Harvey is well deserving of much wider recognition. I played with him twenty years ago in Quiet Fire and he was a master player back then. Now he has grown into a sophisticated artist and a statesman for meaningful jazz that incorporates beautiful composition, excellent technique, note perfect melodic playing with nothing extraneous and nothing left out, the hardest balancing act of them all! A very beautiful album!

The reality is that consistent Bible reading, like eating healthy and exercising, we know is good for us, but we just don't do it like we should. Yet, more than physical pursuits, it is far more crucial to hear and obey the voice of the Lord. Sobering is the Word of God through Jeremiah to us, "To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ears are uncircumcised, they cannot listen; behold, the word of the Lord is to them an object of scorn; they take no pleasure in it" (6:10). Prone to be "dull off hearing" (Hebrew 5:11), it's so important that we ask our Lord for a hunger for his Word, and that our ears and eyes would be open to receive his truth and gladly obey it.
However, our God, who is Spirit and invisible, has in the most glorious way, revealed himself to us through his Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus, if you will, is God's Selfie! "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14). At Christmas we celebrate this incredible truth of the incarnation.
The truth is, nothing has ever - in this digital age, or any age - been hidden from God. He not only hears and sees our every word and action, but the very thoughts of our hearts and minds are continually open to him. "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good" (Proverbs 15:3). "And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account" (Hebrews 4:13). It's best to live in this constant awareness that God knows all and sees all.

I sometimes recollect my final visit to a nightclub, where I now hear the passing bells of time's Technics decks, not the vigorous immortality of youth. And this moment doesn't feel like a maudlin indulgence. Those thunderous spaces once had the potential to inspire (although I was always more attracted to them than belonged). But then my needle skipped to where the light of the summer promised the timelessness of a library reading room, and not the Balearic beats of Café del Mar. I don't look back with regret, but I can remember a cobalt August day, Bournemouth's beach exhaling a day's warmth, and a night atypically unshackled from awkwardness and inhibition by the magic of music and people. Gone.
The Great Vowel Shift, a short pamphlet by Robin Houghton and published by Telltale Press, a poets' publishing collective, is a masterclass in memory. It opens with 'The Last': 'They've been coming since posters were invented: / sometimes in dreams, to the tipping of cowboy hats // or dressed in Liverpool shirts. Each one appeared / in my diary, in code. My mother wouldn't explain, // I couldn't ask.' The temptation to see one's consciousness as the pre-Copernican centre of the universe is a fallacy we all commit but the fact that the arrival supposedly coincides with the invention of posters links them to pubescent sexuality, as does the secrecy of the code and the maternal silence. Shiny and new, each was worthy of documentation but, in the fullness of time, even the remarkable, the miraculous, tends towards the mundane and the diarizing disposition of the child makes way for adult indifference: 'It's been a while since / I wrote a diary. I don't know how many there were, // I wasn't counting. Too busy getting on with / the business of getting on. For the last, though, // I would have thrown a party, marked the occasion / in some way, worn something red, if I had known'. Ambiguity is controlled right until the poem's end: would the party have mourned or celebrated this physical transition? Is life something that passes us by as we get on with the 'business of getting on', or does our focus on what truly matters anaesthetize us (thank God) to the irksome rhythms of physical functions?
In 'Closure', Houghton continues to challenge us to evaluate what we think we know. Here, each couplet maintains an initial frisson of distance: 'Red glows the Door Locked sign they connect / by the lightest touch of knees let's take a cab // was all he'd said'. Perhaps red evokes heat, danger and lust but Houghton's antagonist possesses a cold 'smooth face stainless / as a knife'. That initial crackle of excited distance soon becomes a savage severance and the 'stainless' qualities of the faithless father only serve to highlight his culpability before Houghton serves up a final closure as, unbuttoning his shirt, he exposes 'the white / zipper mark from belly to breastbone still shocking // slightly crooked under the business wear (as he / checks his watch folds his arms) it is beauty // it is a beautiful thing like a line between time zones / it begins today and ends in yesterday'.
In the pamphlet's thirteen poems, Houghton's presentation of loss is often contextualized by a wider sweep of history: the mutation of vowel sounds, the London rivers that 'drag their feet under Georgian terraces / below grates' and, viewed from this perspective, Houghton interrogates feeling with dispassion and bravery. Perhaps less is lost than we first feared.


Many people are starting to question whether college is really worth the money or the time. According to the Institute for College Access & Success, students who graduated from public and nonprofit colleges in 2013 had an average of $28,400 in student loan debt per borrower.
Student loan debt is just one of the many reasons that some people should not go to college. Others don't need a degree for the career they want, or they need to start work immediately. Especially if you have no idea what you want to do with your life, college can be a big waste of money. However, there are still many positives to attending college.
The most obvious advantage is the fact that college attendees generally make much more than those workers with only a high school diploma. However, the reasons to invest in higher education extend past just the financial. Here are four important reasons to consider attending college.
Let's face it: most of us want to make money, and making more money is often a good thing. According to Simply Hired, the average salary for a college graduate is $46,000, but the average is $32,000 for those with a high school diploma. Obviously, more money is often a plus, and although colleges can be expensive, many people feel that having debt is reasonable if it leads to a better paying job.
Although student loan debt can be crippling, if you make more money, you should have more money to pay off that debt. When your debt is paid off, you will be able to use the extra income for discretionary spending. Plus, although student loans are common, some students are able to go to college on scholarship, or are able to work while attending school and avoid loans all together.
You can certainly start at a company and work your way up, and you may be able to achieve the career you hope for. However, many high-level jobs require at least an associate's degree. Even if you are able to move up in the company, some jobs will still be out of your reach without a degree. Depending on this position, you may be required to obtain a degree even if your experience far surpasses workers coming in with a degree.
In addition to specific jobs within a field requiring a degree to move forward, many specific careers also require a specific degree. There are certainly excellent jobs that you will not need a degree for, but certain positions (like most teaching jobs, nursing jobs, and so on) will require formal training. If you want to have a career in one of these fields, you will have to earn the necessary degree. Even if your field doesn't require a degree, sometimes obtaining one will still help you be more qualified than other candidates.
College is often what you make of it. While some colleges are better known and more prestigious than others, you can gain a valuable education at most schools if you put the work in. If you attend class regularly, and you choose classes that will challenge you, you will get more from school. You should focus on classes that will help develop skills that will help you in your field. It's also important to get an internship if possible. Internships will help you gain technical experience, build your resume, allow you to network, and potentially show you whether or not your major is the right choice for your future.
A part-time job can also be valuable while you are in school, especially if it relates to your future field.
While you shouldn't pay thousands of dollars simply to have an experience and meet new people, the exploratory aspect of college is very important. Not only will you hopefully determine whether or not your intended career is the right fit, but you also will learn how to interact with other people. When you get out into the work world, you will need to work with many different personalities, and college is a great time to start practicing.
College also is a good introduction to being an adult. Although you will probably still have a meal plan, you will be responsible for attending class and doing well, keeping track of commitments, and so on. Many aspects of college translate into important life skills that will help you after college.
There are many other reasons to go to college. You may meet friends that you will have your entire life. You also might study abroad and learn about new cultures, or you may join clubs that you never knew existed. College gives you the chance to start fresh and reinvent or find yourself.


The multi-sensory enviornment room (MSE) is in full swing in Crookston and EGF. Many clients are benefitting from time spent in this room. Typically individuals spend about 30 minutes once or twice a week in this space. The objective is "individualized" in that each of us needs something different from our experience in the room. If I were Autistic and having a difficult day I might display anxious behaviors; rocking back and forth, flapping my arms, making loud noises or having a difficult time sitting still or focusing on the task at hand. If I were going into the MSE room that day I would need to be stimulated. The operator of the room would start the room at a "high" level of stimulation (preferrably higher than my state of stimulation). They would have the room more stimulatng than I present. Music would be loud and with a fast beat, the solar projector would have a highly stimulating disk and there would be movement of the projector around the room. Mirrors would be utilized to add even more stimulation. Gradually over the thirty minutes, the music selction would be turned down in volume and changed to a less stimulated beat, the selction of disk for the projector would be decreased in stimulation. The idea is that I (the person enjoying the experience) would begin to relax and I would imitate the level of stimulation. So: when I leave the MSE room I would be much calmer, my heart rate would slow, my movements would be less, I would feel more relaxed and thus be able to concentrate better.
The same would be true if I were a person with Alzheimer's and I am sleepy and not very focused. My head might be droopy. The objective of time in the MSE room for this person would be to stimulate that person more than they are already. I would start the room slower than the person with Autism. I would have soft music on, have the projector on the floor (where the person might be looking). I would gradually increase the level of stimulation. I would move the projector up the wall so by the time they were leaving that room, they would be holding their head up straight. Time in this room would wake them up and stimulate them into a more focused state.
This room can be utilized for any person as long as they are not aggressive or destructive in the room or wanting to sleep in the room. We have had several success stories of time spent in this room! More on that later!

Thermal stability of β-lactoglobulins A and B: effect of SDS, urea, cysteine and N-ethylmaleimide
Joyce I Boye, Ching Y Ma, Ashraf Ismail
Journal: Journal of Dairy Research / Volume 71 / Issue 2 / May 2004
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 May 2004, pp. 207-215
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to monitor changes in the secondary structure and thermal stability of β-lactoglobulin A and B in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), urea and cysteine. An increase in the thermal stabilities of both proteins was noted in the presence of 10 mM-SDS. In the presence of 50 mM-SDS, there was extensive denaturation of both variants. In general, the β-strand/β-sheet regions in the secondary structure of both variants were very susceptible to denaturation by SDS and cysteine, suggesting that these regions may be held by hydrophobic and disulphide bonds. At ambient temperature and physiological pH, a notable difference was observed in the 1636 and 1627 cm−1 regions of the FTIR spectra of the two β-lg variants. The results suggest possible differences in the nature of the β-sheet/β-strand distribution/content of the two proteins. Urea and NEM at a concentration of 50 mM, had little effect on the secondary structure and denaturation of both variants. New findings are presented which further indicate that although the β-lg B variant showed greater thermal stability than the A variant in all the cases studied, its denaturation temperature and secondary structure were affected to a greater extent by the protein perturbants than β-lg A.
Effects of physicochemical factors on the secondary structure of β-lactoglobulin
Joyce I. Boye, Ashraf A. Ismail, Inteaz Alli
Journal: Journal of Dairy Research / Volume 63 / Issue 1 / February 1996
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 June 2009, pp. 97-109
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry were used as complementary techniques to study changes in the secondary structure of β-lactoglobulin under various physicochemical conditions. The effects of pH (3–9), NaCl (0–2 M), and lactose, glucose and sucrose (100–500 g/l) in the temperature range 25–100 °C on the conformation sensitive amide I band in the i.r. spectrum of β-lactoglobulin in D2O solution were examined. The 1692 cm−1 band in the amide I band profile had not been definitively assigned in previous studies of the i.r. spectrum of β-lactoglobulin. The decrease in this band at ambient temperature with time or upon mild heating was attributed to slow H-D exchange, indicating that it was due to a structure buried deep within the protein. The disappearance of the 1692 cm−1 band on heating was accompanied by the appearance of two bands at 1684 and 1629 cm–1, assigned to β-sheets. The 1692 cm−1 band was therefore attributed to a β-type structure. β-Lactoglobulin showed maximum thermal stability at pH 3 and was easily denatured at pH 9. On denaturation, the protein unfolded into more extensive random coil structures at pH 9 than at pH 3. After 10 h at pH 9 (25 °C), β-lactoglobulin was partly denatured. Heating to 60–80 °C generally resulted in the loss of secondary structure. At all pH values studied, two new bands at 1618 and 1684 cm−1, characteristic of intermolecular β-sheet structure and associated with aggregation, were observed after the initial denaturation. Differential scanning calorimetry studies indicated that the thermal stability of β-lactoglobulin was enhanced in the presence of sugars. The Fourier transform i.r. results obtained provide evidence that sugars promoted the unfolding of β-lactoglobulin via multiple transition pathways leading to a transition state resisting aggregation.


Information professionals and information organisations use Twitter in a variety of ways. Typically both organisations and the individuals that work for them have separate identities on Twitter, but often individuals identify their organization through their profile or Twitter content. This paper considers the way information professionals use Twitter and their practices with regard to privacy, personal disclosure and identifying their organisational affiliations. Drawing on data from a research study involving a questionnaire and social media observation, the paper will provoke discussion about information professionals' use of Twitter, personal and organizational identity, and the value of Twitter for professional development. In keeping with the subject matter, a curated set of social media content will be available in lieu of a formal paper.

New Industrial Look In Malaysia
As countries grow and their industries do too, more growth is always required. This can be achieved through development and investments in the Industrial area of the country. This was the recent case for Malaysia as recently there has been news on a new deal to start the biggest and best industrial park in the world for the country.
According to news, AME Development are moving towards creating a new industrial park known as i-Park@Indahpura located at Johor, Iskandar Malaysia. This will be a fenced area which holds 24 hours surveillance. It will contain a world class infrastructure which will hold the country's top facilities and have the right workspace and environment to fit the area. AME Development is a huge company that has proven itself through winning the FIABCI World Prix d'Excellence Awards at the Malaysia Property Award.
This was commented on by Kelvin Lee, the AME Development managing director by saying, "At the core of i-Park@Indahpura is a strong belief that industrialisation can be warm, gentle and eco- friendly without sacrificing the environmental sustainability. Since the launch of i-Park, we have been the talk-of-the-town for being an industrial park that had managed to change the perceptions of industrial developments, a green industrial park like no other! Our vision for i-Park is to become the most sustainable and well-managed industrial park in the region, as well as the role model of how the future industrial estates should be developed."

This tiled inscription in Rick and Karen Schaeffer's new rec room describes their home's original state. The Schaeffer's, hosts to large gatherings (200 guests at times!), needed our help.
"Jerry Liu asked about our lifestyle—how we entertain," says Rick. "We have family from the Midwest who stay for a week, so bathroom space is at a premium." We helped the Schaeffers add a bathroom and closet, rearrange existing closets, and remodel an old bathroom, adding handicapped accessibility. The dining room was expanded, and space was freed up in the rec room by removing a wall and building enclosed outdoor stairs.

An economic study released today by the BC Chamber of Commerce, the United Steelworkers and Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) ("Teck"), Economic Contribution Analysis of Mining Operations in the Elk Valley shows steelmaking coal operations in BC's Elk Valley make up 80% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the region, sustain more than 30,000 jobs and contribute $1.5 billion in revenues annually to three levels of government. The study was produced by Deloitte LLP.
Teck's operations in the Elk Valley produce among the lowest-carbon intensity steelmaking coal in the world, a key resource needed to support global population growth and the global transition to net-zero.
The Deloitte study shows that Teck's Elk Valley steelmaking coal operations contribute the following:
Contributions to Canada
$6.3 billion to Canada's GDP
30,490 direct, indirect and induced jobs created or sustained across Canada
$1.5 billion in total government revenues (federal, provincial, municipal)
$2.9 billion to approximately 1,800 suppliers across Canada
Contributions to British Columbia
$4.6 billion to British Columbia's GDP
12,820 direct, indirect and induced jobs created or sustained across British Columbia
$600 million in total government revenues (provincial, municipal)
$1.4 billion to approximately 900 suppliers across British Columbia
Contributions to the East Kootenay
Teck's operations contribute 80% of GDP for the region that includes Cranbrook, Fernie, Sparwood and Elkford
Nearly half, 2 in 5, of all jobs in Cranbrook, Fernie, Sparwood and Elkford are created or sustained by Teck's activities
1 in 5 jobs in the Regional District of East Kootenay are created or sustained by Teck's activities
"As the report demonstrates, mining supports 1000s of small- and medium-sized businesses across the province and country and provides critical revenues needed to support services for citizens." said Fiona Famulak, President and CEO, BC Chamber of Commerce. "Teck's Elk Valley operations clearly punch above its weight with respect to the contributions it makes to government revenues; which speaks to the importance of supporting our natural resource industries to overcome the impacts of the pandemic and best position us for the future."
"Our members in the steelmaking coal mining sector play an important role in supporting the local, provincial and national economies," said United Steelworkers Union District 3 Director Steve Hunt. "This report demonstrates how critical these ongoing operations are to communities and families, not just in the Elk Valley, but across the province and country. The wages provided through these operations are 87% higher than the national average, allowing our members to support their local economies."
"Teck is committed to responsible mining that creates economic opportunity, supports people, families and communities across B.C. and Canada while maintaining a healthy environment," said Robin Sheremeta, Senior Vice President, Teck Coal. "Steel and steelmaking coal are an essential part of the modern world and global efforts to decarbonize the economy will drive long-term demand for Teck's high- quality, low-carbon intensity steelmaking coal."
This study measured the economic contribution of Teck's Elk Valley operations in terms of GDP, labour income, employment, and government revenue. It traced how the expenditures and revenues associated with the Elk Valley operations ripple through the economy. It looked at direct economic impacts, indirect impacts, which arise from generating demand for goods and services provided by Teck's suppliers, and the induced impacts, which arise from the spending of salaries and wages earned as a result of the Elk Valley operations.
The study also looked at Teck's Elk Valley operations' creating and enabling of a range of additional socio-economic benefits, including Indigenous community engagement, community contributions, innovation and technological capacity development, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Superior Spider-Man #23 Review
Well, this is familiar…
Okay, before I take a long nap to deal with the flu, let's get through this review of Superior Spider-Man #23, a.k.a "The Net Closes In."
The story picks up where it left off, with the fake Crime Master running away like a little girl and Otto about deep fry Flash. But Flash surrenders and Otto can't just execute prisoners, not after that whole fiasco in issue #5. So while the man has surrendered and is arguing that, Otto tells him to show a sign he's in control of the symbiote, planning on executing him as soon as he did. Honestly, Otto is freaking murder-happy in this issue.
But Flash refuses to go out like that and manages to rouse the symbiote into action to save themselves, leaving Otto to interrogate the police until Anna Maria calls. Turns out that because of his men calling him about Venom, he left in the middle of some private time with her. In that case, the murder-happiness can be explained for once and you can't blame him.*Wink**Wink*
Back with Carlie in the Goblin Underground, the Goblin Kingpin has finished the journal and noted that, while it is Otto inside Spider-Man's head, he doesn't know who it is behind the mask. It troubles him since he feels like he should know this, which he should if he was the original Green Goblin. Carlie's sister tells him that she'll get the answer from her while he goes to run errands in town.
Otto takes Anna to his place the next day to prepare for their brunch with her parents while Flash, in the meantime, is having a better relationship with the symbiote than he did in his own series and leaves his disguise behind so that they can lay low. Right until he hears abut MJ's place and figures out that he can see Peter Parker for help. Yeah, that can't end well.
MJ is at her club, the Grand Opening after the fire, and Chief Watanabe shows up to inform her that Carlie went missing. The last message Carlie left to her was to stay away from Peter Parker, which gives Chief Watanabe a subject of interest, even though MJ didn't tell her that he's Spider-Man. So, unaware he has a bull's-eye on his back as both identities, Otto's luck once again takes an interesting turn when Flash turns up for brunch just as Aunt May's surgery has finished and she's pain-free again.
With Mayor JJ, he's reached his breaking point when it comes to Spider-Man and goes to Alchemax to have them develop new Spider-Slayer suits for the city. No guesses who he's going to have them turned on, but you can tell he's desperate since the original Spider-Slayer murdered his wife and was put down a little while ago and now he has to turn to his research for help. They put Tiberus Stone on it, along with his assistant, Miguel O'Hara, a.k.a Spider-Man 2099.
At the brunch, things take a surprisingly dark turn as Aunt May is somewhat upset that Peter didn't mention that Anna Maria was a "Little Person", and she let's it be known that she's concerned that any children they had would share this trait. Flash thinks it's time for him to leave, which I can't blame him for, but Otto manages to coax him into agreeing to have full artificial limbs implanted since, as a veteran, it could be revolutionary for those who have lost so much in war.
One hour later he's set up and Peter goes to have a consultant brought in, namely the Superior Spider-Man. He outfitted the machine with sonic device that separated the symbiote from Flash. I know you're thinking that's a good thing, not being attached to an alien that occasionally drives you into a murderous rampage. Now, here's the reason why that's a bad thing.
While the symbiote has a decent working relationship with Flash now, it acts like a jilted lover in the face of Brock and Spider-Man. So separating the pair of them and leaving it isolated and alone will cause it to react…poorly. Thus it tears down the container and latches onto Otto, forming the Superior Venom.
Now, I hadn't expected Aunt May to react like she did but given her age it seems plausible that she would be concerned. This issue is mostly a tie-in to the last portion of the Darkest Hour arc, which is living up to its name as we see all the many ways things are closing in on Otto. It was relevant, had decent characterization, and I can't wait for the next issue.
Superior Spider-Man #23 gets a 4 out of 5.

Iowa knocks off No. 16 Wisconsin for the season sweep
Tribune News Services
IOWA CITY -- On "Matt Gatens Bobblehead Night" it was Wisconsin shaking its head after Iowa rode its senior guard to a 67-66 victory over the 16th-ranked Badgers at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Gatens, coming off a 30-point game in Sunday's win over Indiana, made seven three-pointers en route to a 33-point performance to give Iowa (15-13, 7-8 Big Ten) a second straight victory over a ranked opponent.
Aaron White added 12 points and Roy Devyn Marble chipped in 11 points and eight assists for the Hawkeyes, who completed the season sweep of Wisconsin.
Ryan Evans and Josh Gasser led the Badgers (20-8, 9-6) with 14 points apiece, while Rob Wilson and Ben Brust netted 11 and 10 points, respectively, in the setback.
Iowa led by 11 points late in the second half, but a seven-minute scoreless stretch allowed Wisconsin to trim its deficit to 63-61 on Brust's three- pointer with 20.2 seconds remaining.
Devyn Marble ended Iowa's drought with two free throws with 16.7 seconds left, and Evans and White both missed the front end of 1-and-1s to keep it a four-point game.
Jordan Taylor, Wisconsin's leading scorer, put in a quick layup for his first points of the second half, but Gatens fittingly sealed the win with two makes at the foul line with 4.8 seconds on the clock.
Taylor's three-pointer at the buzzer did nothing more than up his stat line to nine points on 4-of-8 shooting.
Wisconsin entered as the nation's leading defense, allowing just 51.0 points per game. Iowa, undaunted by the Badgers' defensive prowess, went out and shot 57 percent from the field in the first half.
Gatens did most of the damage, totaling 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting, including a 4-for-4 effort from behind the arc.
The fast start gave the Hawkeyes a 43-34 halftime lead, and Gatens answered a 12-2 Wisconsin push early in the second half with a personal 10-2 run. The sharpshooter hit a pair of three-pointers to finish off the flurry and give Iowa a 61-50 lead just past the midway point.

Latin American Muralism: Art as a Political Instrument
Latin American Muralism was born in 1910 after the Mexican Revolution as a way of political expression. It was driven by political activists of the time and developed by groups of young artists.
Muralism has been a way of expressing through art an opposition to the dictatorships and violent regimes that have characterized Latin American political history. In these murals, social problems are captured in images, he moves away from the traditional art academy and aims to raise a discontent and protest by creating monumental public domain to challenge the aristocratic art to which only a few had access.
Its boom, undoubtedly, occurred in Mexico around the 1920s, where after a revolution, the facades of government buildings were the center of demonstrations by means of these murals. But more than showing disagreement, Muralism took on a role of educating the masses by recreating the country's history.
Some of the exponents who contributed to the development and evolution of this movement are:
Diego Rivera: His murals at the Palacio Nacional de Bellas Artes in Mexico City initiated this movement that was later continued by José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, among others. He used to touch, in his works, on anti-capitalist themes and support for workers' movements. He proclaimed himself a revolutionary in the eyes of the world for his mural at the Rockfeller Center in New York in which he portrayed Lenin and Stalin, which had to be removed immediately.
David Alfaro Siqueiros: Throughout his artistic career he chose to create murals that stood out as experimental and innovative. He traveled throughout South America and established the principles of Latin American Muralism in other countries as well. In his works, he played with perspective, angles and implemented documentary photography as part of the movement.
José Clemente Orozco: In the interwar period, he contributed great creations to Mexican pictorial art. He was recognized as an interpreter between revolution and Art.
Even so, muralism gained strength not only in Mexico but also in other countries in Latin America, who opted for it as a need to express their revolution through an artistic manifestation.
In Chile, muralists emerged after Allende's triumph with propagandistic messages about the responsibilities of the State and its citizens. There it was not developed by individual artists, but by brigades.
In Brazil, issues of high social importance such as racism, indigenous communities and poverty were discussed. It became popular in the streets of the different neighborhoods and favelas also as a means of expression for love of country and freedom in society.
Ecuador took muralism as a movement of historical recreation. Subsequently, the government embraced this historical practice and gave way to great artists such as Diógenes Paredes, Jaime Valencia and José Enrique Guerrero, Oswaldo Guayasamín and Galo Galecio to intervene in important places and buildings in their cities. These artists had a notorious historical and pictorial influence of the Mexican muralists.
In Colombia, muralism was immediately rejected by politicians and academics, but it would later become a movement much mentioned and loved by them. The most important muralists were inspired by the history of the country, its social problems and urban legends and myths.
It didn't take long for this movement to spread beyond Latin America either, initially by Latin American migrants who through their murals showed their identity as immigrants and the convergence and clashes of various cultures.
Muralism currently maintains its importance, museums around the world exhibit its works and stories and throughout Latin America buildings, libraries and facades of works by its greatest representatives are preserved.
