For this exhibition, I proposed to transform the Kansas City gallery Front/Space into a small fully operational museum.
Much like the exclamation "Eureka!" the phrase "She was right!" is meant to be associated with an act of discovery. Through museum simulation, this show aims to question the hierarchies of authenticity and to alter our notions of time, fact, and fantasy.
At the center of the gallery a small black stone is placed in a museum vitrine designed as a "zig-zag" to signify forward momentum, the passage of time, and to undermine the presumptive form and authority of typical museum display.
Accompanying the stone are sixteen drawings of "historical fiction" which document the stone's passage through time in chronological order. The stone is depicted in each drawing, beginning with an abstract representation of Earth's explosive creation in the drawing titled "The Garden." The viewer is invited to follow the stone through this fabricated history and to question the authorship of historical record.
This show aims to expose the artificial value systems imposed on art and historical objects through collection, exhibition, and presentation. "She Was Right" intends to empower its participants to see new ways in which to navigate within expositions of so-called "truth."

Constructed entirely from lumber, white cardboard, and some electrical components, this octagonal schoolhouse is meant to be an architectural apparition; a physical manifestation of my own idealism, personal nostalgia, faith in community, and desire to build optimism and opportunities for artists in the changing landscape of my city.
The spire of this construction was designed to barely touch the ceiling of its exhibition space. This crux is meant to represent change and optimism. These two objects (the spire and ceiling) are not inert, but rather, something just about to happen.
In 2014, I started a project called The Zz School of Print Media. The Zz School (pronounced "zee") is a printmaking focused education initiative based in Kansas City, Mo. We aim to promote print-based public art, to encourage exchange between artists and the community, to create opportunities for artists and educators, and to expand the role of printmaking in the visual arts.
In addition to technical services and equipment access, Zz School rounds out artist opportunity with community based projects and conceptual courses. We aim to enable artists diversely, creating opportunities for artists to grow the content of their work in tandem with technical ability.
Support for this work is provided by a Rocket Grants Project Award, a program of the Charlotte Street Foundation and the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas. Funding is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
I am scared in the dark. In the dark of my bedroom, a towel draped over a door can easily become an enormous - possibly threatening - face. Vivid imagination coupled with irrational fear has had substantial impact on my work. A few years ago, I found an image of a cave painting in which the painter added pigment to the natural geography of the cave wall to create an abstract face. I imagine the artist inside the cave 10,000 years ago, seeing the illusion of a face on the surface wall and helping it along with a bit of pigment. I see myself exactly this way. We can only speculate why that artist chose to make those marks. They may have been made in worship, out of fear, or perhaps boredom. These are similar to my motivations as an artist.
The drawings in this series aim to describe the abstract relationship between the visible and the spiritual, the material and the supernatural. The night sky, specifically the asterism known as Orion's Belt, has always existed to me as a powerful emblem of the divine. The order of those three stars could be incidental, but this could be strategic design and consequently made to seem like chance. A trick? I am not trying to say that my drawings are an attempt to recreate the power of god or to even be about concrete religion at all, but these drawings are about our world not being what it seems.
These drawings are representative of my desire to discover - or more likely, to fantasize about what invisible truths our world may embody.
In Fall 2014, I created a fieldwork course in Kansas City called Kansas City Object Lessons. In this class students visit, view, and discuss often unshared archives and collections within Kansas City.
Meeting each week in a different location, students have the very special opportunity to view objects, art objects, and works on paper that exist in local personal and private collections as well as "hidden" within well known Kansas City institutions.
To view these types of objects, removed from the traditional museum display, allows the viewer a unique experience, including insight into the wide functions of art and the ways in which art and collecting are reflective of Kansas City history.
As this is an experience based course, the issue of documentation and tangibility became very important to me. I want my students and our tour guides to leave class with something material. So, each week I would customize a laser-cut relief block (or stamp) as a gift for our tour guide. At the end of each visit, I would ask our tour guide to personally stamp a paper record or "passport" for each participant in the course.
This course was offered in Fall 2014. Locations visited are listed below. The course will be offered again in Winter/Spring 2016.
In the Summer of 2004, I moved to Chicago for a year. This was a time of loneliness, productivity, and personal growth. I started this series of drawings in the Winter that year. Your Planet Has Not Seen Its Golden Age is an unfinished graphic novel. It is the story of two sisters who uncover an alien artifact while digging a grave for their beloved dog named Flower. Within the alien capsule, they find a VHS tape. The tape includes footage of Earth as it is forming to our present day including; sea monsters, volcanoes, ancient civilizations, and more. I have always wished that photography were invented earlier - even just 100 years.
In May 2012, my partner Rachel and I dug a grave for the actual dog named Flower. Unfortunately, we did not uncover any mysterious objects.
Throughout 2005-2007, I self-published parts of this series in a zine format of the same title.
The 1939 MGM film, The Wizard of Oz is dear to my heart. Likely, ALL of my work can be traced to have visual or conceptual connection to this film. As we ALL know, Dorothy is transported from one world into another via tornado. I am interested in the threshold between our physical world and the spiritual world. The doorways, portals, entrances, exits, inner spaces and outer spaces of the invisible world.
My Grandmother was five years old when her Father was holding his seances, so her memory is vague. I asked my Father for more information and he said, "My Grandfather may have had a talking trumpet, but you should keep in mind, he was an engineer... and a trickster."
Whoop Dee Doo (WDD) is a traveling, artist-led project that creates installations and live performances in partnership with universities, festivals, arts organizations, and museums. WDD works closely with underserved youth, local artists, and other organizations to research, conceive, and create all projects. The WDD process emphasizes collaboration, encourages respect for diversity, and seeks to initiate a cross-generational and cross-cultural dialogue.
During the three years I worked with WDD, I wore many hats; artist, volunteer, set-designer/builder, cardboard manipulator, prop master, sound effects, stage manager, education liaison, and "Grandma."
This project is very dear to me and largely instrumental in my growth as an artist, educator, and life long friend.

Permanent Up/Down – Option to save a permanent camera up or down position.
XInput/Keyboard Freelook Rotation – Ability to rotate view with joystick. Both comfort (snap) and non-comfort modes.
Transition to slightly buggy "New Hotkey" system introduced by main Dolphin branch.
The old hotkeys system still exists in the main branch as well, but they're not linked together. Assignments from one aren't assigned to the other.
Do we keep waiting for the main Dolphin devs to fix it?
Once the pitch stabilization is working correctly, should we remove the "Tilt Camera Up" and "Tilt Camera Down" hotkeys? It would have to be working pretty well to justify this.
Once we have the units per metre set in most games, should we remove this hotkey? Users really shouldn't be touching this setting once set (see Per-Game Options).
Fix more crashes in the bruteforcer.
Post process .map file to create a version that only has interesting functions.
Add GUI option to launch bruteforcer.
Add ability to force R4-R??
Add ability to force floating points.
Consider ways to do frame-rate brute forcing.
Detect change in speed of game or output frame rate.
Add ability to force branches to always branch or never branch.
Fix menus that are rotated.
Either change the way that items are analyzed or fix it per game by using exact floating point values?
Exact floating point values could maybe be added to a game .ini file.
Add recenter rift tracking to game yaw on forward movement option.
Consider idea of recentering game yaw to rift tracking position on forward movement.
This would be very hard to implement and would probably have to be done on a game by game basis.
Might involve finding the address of the floating point value used for rotation, then automatically force it per frame to the head tracking position if forward joystick/button is detected.
Fix occasional flashing when limited FOV is entered.
Add more options on when to activate the motion sickness prevention method.
Find a way to hide "Units Per Metre" from the user, because this should not be changed once set.
This will encourage the user to use the proper settings like "Scale" if they would like to change the in game scale.
Changing "Units Per Metre" messes with the freelook step size, which is not immediately obvious to a user.
Only go through code loop if one of these options are enabled.
This way users won't have to toggle between different modes every time they change a game.
Something is wrong with the "OpcodeDecoder_Run<true>" calls that only happen during this mode.
They might have some recursive nature that makes the timewarp thread call itself, thus touching the iterator which causes a vector error.
PopFifoAuxBuffer is used, which is bad.
Popping from a FIFO when you need to come back and use the data again later is not good.
The FIFO pointers should be copied and put into the correct place again or something.
Figure out why everything is not always perfectly replicated.
Kirby's Epic Yarn for instance, when you jump with it enabled, some objects move up and down with you.
This is some kind of CPU synchronization issue. Single core and synchronized GPU thread fix this. Most likely dual core determinism mode will fix it too once it's working. Is there a better/faster way to fix this?
Fixing this would probably also fix the opcode desyncs that happen sometimes as well as opcode related judder in some games. Paper Mario, Okami, and most likely Mario Kart Wii are examples of this.
^Fixed: This is fixed now through SyncOnSkipIdle. The only game I've found that needs it set false in Zelda: Wind Waker, but having it true fixes a lot of games with issues. Example are Okami, Mario Kart Wii, Both Kirby games, Animal Crossing, and it fixes opcode warnings in Smash Bros Wii. It probably fixes a bunch of other games as well. It needs "Enable Idle Skipping" checked to work, and that checkmark box should always be checked when running Dolphin VR.
Metroid has odd flashing/doubling not related to CPU synchronization on certain textures/objects. I'm probably missing something in the actual opcode capturing and replay on this one.
^Fixed: This is due to the CPU overwriting the vertex buffer information halfway through a frame. A new option has been added to fix this, though it's only implemented for D3D at the moment.
DK Country Returns has terrible flashing lines that go straight into your eyes.
^Fixed: This is due to the vertex shader constants being modified midframe. This is now replicated, but the fix has only been coded for D3D.
There are still some synchronization issues in games like Super Mario Sunshine causing the game to lock up on the menu, and some objects to move slightly when the camera moves. Vertex buffer/shader replay help this a lot, but it still happens.
A limited amount of textures still flash through objects in Metroid, random flashing on the DK Country Returns island.
Maybe cause by lack of index buffer/geometer shader constant/pixel shader constants replay?
Could be something else too.
Easy enough to do, just needs to be coded up.
Opcode Relay doesn't seem to work at all with XFB enabled. Look into a fix.
Why is this such a regression from 0.4.4? Did we do something wrong?
Find a way to disable the "Health and Safety Warning" in the new SDK.
Some HUDs aren't detected properly. Is there a way to fix this?
Effects like water blur in Super Mario Sunshine can need ~15 codes per level.
Removing HUD corruption usually only takes a code or two, but sometimes it takes a ton of codes!
There should be a better way to remove an entire layer if needed.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for instance needs it off.
I think some other games worked better with it on, but can't remember what games now.
Why is this, and how can we fix it?
^Fixed: See Opcode Replay Buffer Heading.
At a certain point distance, there isn't any benefit to rendering an object twice.
We could save CPU/GPU time by just rendering the object once.
It would be great to be able to change options in game.
This would be a major undertaking, so I don't expect this to get done anytime soon.
Why doesn't synchronous timewarp work perfectly all the time?
Still plenty of rendering issues to work out.
Luigi's Mansion renders a ton of garbage objects.
When you use the hide object range (useful for debugging), you can see that the correct scene is rendered underneath.
What's going on here, and how to fix it?
Super Paper Mario flashes terribly in 2D mode when the camera zooms in and out.
This actually worked perfectly during the S3D merge when there was an option to slide the stereoscopic slider all the way to mono.
Why does the stereo separation cause this terrible flashing effect?
Z-Fighting present on many menus.
This is fixed if you turn the rift on during a game, which means that it's caused by the head-tracking tilt/roll/yaw.
Automatically detect the type of HMD and adjust options to match?
There could be a "safe mode" or some kind of button that is pressed to check for odd settings that might be causing judder/crashes.
Things like "Dual Core" not checked, GPU Determinism/Deterministic Dual Core On, CPU Emulator Engine set to anything but JIT Recompiler, "Enable CPU Clock Override" on, etc.
Could either inform the user of potential misconfiguration or launch the game with default settings (if safe mode is chosen).
Choosing the weird Direct3D AA options with "quality levels" causes DolphinVR to crash.
Should we remove them in DolphinVR?
Stereoscopic 3D Mode contains "Oculus", but doesn't need to be used. Should this be removed? Why is it there?

Team Southampton Establishes Disability Sports Strategy!
This year the Sports Zone has concentrated on making our sports clubs more accessible. Part of that project has been to increase the amount of funding to our sports clubs to reduce the cost of sport to students but we have also looked at other barriers to participation.
At the beginning of the year we noticed that the Athletic Union, had a shortfall in the support it offered to students with disabilities. We created a position on the Athletic Union Committee to work alongside the Sports Participation Officer to remove the obstacles students face when trying to participate in sporting activities – Sports Accessibility Officer. Jake Bradley (Accessibility Sports Officer) and Adam Proudley (Sports Participation Officer) decided that the overall focus of the zone would be on disability. Jake carried out a report to identify how many disabled students are at the university, what types of disabilities our students have and what issues these students may face.
– Focus on 3 flagship sports in the first year (Athletics, Boat Club and Archery) by making sure they are accessible to students with disabilities by providing financial support for adaptive equipment/coaching and in lobbying the University for accessible sports facilities. With the number of clubs increasing to 5 next year.
– Create a booklet which sign posts students to local clubs with the expertise in a certain sport. As we realize that our ability to provide a great sporting experience may not always be at the same standard as them.
– Provide training to our club Presidents so that they are aware of what they can do/ what support we can give to them if they have interest from a student with a disability – we don't want students to be turned away!
– Introduce sports which have been adapted or created for people with disabilities such as: Wheelchair Basketball or Blindfolded Football.
– Run a series of sports taster sessions aim at increasing participation and raising awareness of para sports.
– Ensure that events such as the Bunfight are more inclusive and/or run a separate event that looks to drive participation.
The work done by the team has been exceptional and we hope that it will lay down the foundations for a more inclusive sports environment. Team Southampton is a Sports Community for any student to compete under, I want to encourage more students with disabilities to not only try new sports but to excel in them, should they so wish.

8 Reasons Why Baguio Is The Ultimate City Of Dreams
11.10.2018 14 Comments
Baguio is known for its exceptionally cold weather. But the weather alone is not enough to describe the mesmerizing beauty of the Summer Capital of the Philippines.
A boasting city enveloped in vast greeneries and lush mountains are dreamy as it can be. With its harmonious blend of convenience and tranquility, it's hard to resist the urge to stay in Baguio City for good.
The Culture is So Alive
From the laid-back architecture to its cheerful vibe, the culture in Baguio is undoubtedly alive. Just last year, Baguio has been hailed as a "Creative City" by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization {UNESCO} due to its unique crafts and artisanal finds.
The rich culture in Baguio is celebrated in every part of the city. The Bencab Museum displaying indigenous art exhibits, and the Baguio Museum featuring the city's history and cultural heritage. The restaurants are also teeming with the distinct Baguio charm. One of which is the Arcas Yard Cafe at Ambuklao which is a cafe, a mini-museum, and a library all at once. There's also the Forest House Restaurant near Camp John Hay that serves the best steaks in the city, combined with a stunning ambiance of wooden interior and magnificent views.

Virginia Beach Officer Who Killed Pharrell Williams' Cousin Has Been Allowed To Walk Free
A special grand jury in Virginia Beach found "no probable cause" to charge a local cop with the death of artist Pharrell Williams' cousin, Donovan Lynch, who was 25 years old. Despite the fact that the cop's body camera was not turned on during the deadly shooting, the grand jury believed he was justified in defending himself.
At the scene of a disturbance along the seashore on March 26, Officer Solomon D. Simmons III fired three times, killing Lynch.
Simmons, a Black police officer, arrived on the site of the shooting after receiving a call that a shooting was taking place in the Oceanfront parking lot. Several individuals were hurt, and at least one woman was killed, according to Simmons. Lynch was seen with a gun, the officer testified, and he looked to be aiming it at the crowd and other officers on duty.
Simmons acted in "justifiable self-defense of himself and others," according to the grand jury. In response to the verdict, the city made the following statement:
Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney Colin Stolle showed select footage from the day during the news conference announcing the decision. He showed footage from other officers' bodycams on the scene, illustrating what happened before and after Lynch was shot. "I shot him," Simmons is heard saying on one of the recordings.
According to authorities, he did not disclose footage from Simmons' bodycam since it was switched off during the incident "for unclear reasons."
"There were a lot of individuals in that parking lot when Officer Simmons noticed Mr. Lynch coming up with the pistol," Stolle said.
"It's not just a question of whether the weapon was aimed at Officer Simmons. It was also a question of "Are the folks in the parking lot in danger?" He went on to say more.
A recording of a witness statement was also allowed to be played by Stolle. Lynch cocked his gun back before being shot by Simmons, according to the witness. Lynch is said to have screamed out, "I'm shot," following that. Lynch never pointed his handgun toward Simmons, according to the grand jury report.
A local preacher and activist, Gary McCollum, offered a different picture with more nuance. The parking lot was described as a "war zone" by police after a shooting that resulted in the deaths of nine persons.
Lynch was not involved in the first incident. Lynch, according to McCollum, was a licensed gun owner who went out into the conflict zone and took shelter with his gun in order to protect himself. According to McCollum, the focus appeared to be on destroying Lynch's reputation.
"Everyone is covered by the second amendment," McCullom stated. "What would you do if you're licensed to carry a firearm and you hear 50 rounds and you have a weapon on you that you're legally permitted to have?"
Aaron Rouse, a Virginia Beach City Councilman, reiterated McCullom's sentiments to The Daily Beast. "I can only think about that night, that night with all those gunshots going off, and I'm hiding behind a bush. I'm going to have my weapon out protecting myself as well," he said.
The Lynch family has reiterated their calls for the federal authorities to step up the investigation.
"We're upset, but not shocked," Donovan's father, Wayne Lynch, said at a press conference shortly after the decision was announced. This isn't the end; it's only the beginning."
"I demand justice for my son," he stated emphatically.
The Lynch family has launched a $50 million lawsuit against the city of Virginia Beach, which could lead to justice. Simmons' shooting of his son, according to the elder Lynch, was "illegal" and without notice. The city has filed a motion to dismiss it, but the family's case may have some merit.
The defense must explain why Simmons' body camera was not turned on. VBPD personnel is required to wear "body cameras as another tool to acquire evidence, offer information about police interactions, promote accountability, and strengthen the connections we have within the community," according to the city's website.
Furthermore, the "smoking gun" is that Lynch's gun, which was discovered with one round placed in the chamber, was never discharged.
Because of the police-involved shooting, Lynch's famous cousin, Grammy-winning artist Pharrell Williams, canceled his Something in the Water Festival in Virginia Beach this past October. The city contacted the star in the hopes that he would change his decision. That isn't going to happen. The "Happy" singer wrote a public letter to them, saying that the city had "toxic energy" and that he demanded a federal investigation into the murder.
"I wish the same passion I saw from Virginia Beach leadership after losing the festival had been channeled similarly following the loss of my relative's life," he continued.

Uranium (pronounced as you-Ray-nee-em) is a radioactive metal denoted by the chemical symbol Ur. It has twenty-one isotopes of which only Ur-234, Ur-235, and Ur-238 exist naturally, the last one is the most commonly known isotope with the longest half-life of 4.5×109 years, undergoing decay into thorium-234 through alpha decay or spontaneous fission. Although it is a good source of nuclear energy, there are both pros and cons of using it.
Origin of its Name: The name has come from Uranus, the seventh planet of the solar system.
In 1789, Klaproth dissolved the mineral pitchblende, collected from silver mine resources, in nitric acid. He obtained a yellow precipitate when the solution was neutralized that was suspected to be an oxide of a new element. As a result, he made an attempt to produce it by heating the precipitate with charcoal, but couldn't succeed. In 1841, the French chemist Eugene Peligot heated uranium tetrachloride with potassium and extracted the new metal. It was later named as uranium.
Raw uranium traded as yellowcake is mainly used in the preparation of non-renewable fossil fuel rods for generating electricity at nuclear power plants [1, 5].
Ur glasses are sometimes used in the making of decanters, marbles, and vases. However, due to its radioactive properties, the manufacturing of the glasses have been restricted.
In the ammunition industry, the depleted uranium is used in bullets and shells.
Uranium-lead dating method required in geological age-determination is based on the fact that Pb accumulates in Ur minerals as per the known radioactive decay rates of the parent isotopes .
The nitrate of the element, uranium nitricum is useful in the treatment of diabetes, hypertension, and edema .
Long-term exposure to its radiations has been linked to respiratory ailments and renal toxicity. When inhaled or ingested in excess, it causes lung and kidney failure as a result of acute poisoning.
Refined or enriched uranium higher contentment used in the making of high-grade weapons comprises a higher percentage of Ur-235 that is extracted with a gas centrifuge from the pure element .
Uranium bomb named as 'Little Boy 'was one of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima, Japan during the World War 2 .
It is believed to have formed from a supernova explosion in the universe .
The cost of the pure metal may vary between $33 and $35.

Taylor Swift's 'Evermore': Which Songs Did William Bowery, aka Joe Alwyn, Help Write?
By Meredith B. Kile 9:08 PM PST, December 10, 2020
Taylor Swift released her surprise ninth studio album, Evermore, on Friday -- revealing several more songs co-written by her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn!
Last month, Swift confirmed the fan theory that Alwyn was in fact the songwriter "William Bowery," who was credited on several tracks on her newly GRAMMY-nominated album, Folklore, which was released in July. And it seems the couple continued to work together on Folklore's "sister," Evermore.
Swift told fans in a YouTube chat prior to the album's release that she worked with William Bowery on three Evermore songs, and track credits reveal those songs to be the dreamy, nostalgic "Champagne Problems," Swift's collab with The National "Coney Island," and the title track, "Evermore," which features Bon Iver.
Swift revealed the truth about William Bowery, during her new Disney+ concert film, Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions.
"There's been a lot of discussion about William Bowery and his identity. He's not a real person," Swift tells Folklore and Evermore collaborators Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff in the film. "William Bowery is Joe, as we know. And Joe, Joe plays piano beautifully, and he's always just playing and making things up and kind of creating things."
The couple first teamed up for "Betty" -- a song for which, Swift revealed, Alwyn wrote the chorus -- and also worked together on her Bon Iver duet, "Exile."
Taylor Swift's 'Folklore': Fan Theories, Easter Eggs and More!
"I just heard Joe singing the entire, fully formed chorus of 'Betty' from another room. And I just was like, 'Hello,'" Swift recalls in the film. "It was a step that we would never have taken because why would we have ever written a song together? This was the first time we had a conversation where I came in and I was like, 'Hey, this could be really weird and we could hate this, so could we just, because we're in quarantine and there's nothing else going on, could we just try to see what it's like if we write this song together?'"
A source told ET earlier this month that Alwyn has been a "constant" for Swift amid a tumultuous year -- which has included not just the coronavirus lockdown, but also her mother Andrea's health battle. Swift first shared Andrea's cancer diagnosis in 2015. After the cancer returned in 2019, the singer shared in a January 2020 interview with Variety that Andrea's doctors had found a brain tumor.
"She was going through chemo, and that's a hard enough thing for a person to go through," she said at the time. "While she was going through treatment, they found a brain tumor. And the symptoms of what a person goes through when they have a brain tumor is nothing like what we've ever been through with her cancer before. So it's just been a really hard time for us as a family."
"Joe has provided such a great support system for Taylor. He is the one constant in her life that she can truly rely on," ET's source said. "Joe has helped Taylor with her music, inspiring it. She is so grateful for him and in love with him. He is her cheerleader and rock. They have spoken about their future together and they love celebrating the holidays together and are looking forward to that."
See more on the couple's collaboration in the video below. Evermore is out now.

'Roof of the World' Train
Opened in 2006, the 'Roof of the World Railway' is a masterpiece of modern engineering, connecting Xining, in mainland China, to Lhasa in Tibet, travelling at the highest elevation of any train globally. Whilst parts of the route were completed in 1984, the extension into Tibet was finished in 2005, and opened to the public the following year. Our journey passes over the Tibetan Plateau, a region which features permafrost that melts and refreezes as the seasons change, and which proved a challenging feat of engineering to overcome during the railway's construction.

Helping you plan your holiday...


November marks the start of the holiday season. Many of us begin to make holiday preparations for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. During that time we spend time making lists, shopping, decorating, writing cards and letters, attending parties, creating meals and more. During this time, we also can find ourselves, happy, but anxious and stressed out. But like everything in life…we should pause and reflect on what's behind us and what's ahead.
It's no different here at Rainier Fruit. Harvest season is our holiday season as well. We rush from orchard to orchard without a break. Just like the holidays don't wait if we don't get everything done, our fruit doesn't wait either. When it's ready…it's ready, even if we aren't. We pick, we pack, we ship, we repeat. And just about the time all the fruit is picked from the trees and nestled safely in its boxes like kiddos in bed on Christmas Eve…our phones ring and our emails beep as the holiday orders start flowing in. We too forget how important it is to be thankful.
To remind us the importance of living Wholesome to the Core, we created a list of just a few things to be thankful for.
Family – the one you were born with and the one you create.
Print out our free printable calendar that you can post and look at every day. Take a moment and be thankful for your many blessings and gifts. Choose the empty days to select other wholesome blessings that you are specifically thankful for as well.
May your holidays be filled with everything that makes life Wholesome to the Core.

Gold prices fall as ETFs continue to cut holdings
TradingPub Admin | April 8, 2013
Want to learn more about how market news can impact the price of gold futures? Contracts for the precious metal depreciated on April 8, as markets responded to news that exchange-traded funds (ETFs) further reduced their holdings of the commodity, according to Reuters.
Falling gold
June gold was trading 60 cents per ounce lower at $1,575.30 on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, after rising 1.5 percent during the prior trading session, MarketWatch reports.
This contract for June gold was valued at $1,576 an ounce at 14:06 GMT, according to Reuters. At the time, spot gold was 0.4 percent lower at $1,575.26 per ounce.
A lackluster jobs report released on Friday coincided with a 2 percent gain in the price of the precious metal, the media outlet reports. Investor sentiment was impacted by Labor Department data indicating that the country's employers had the weakest job creation in nine months during March. Confidence that the Federal Reserve will continue to purchase bonds was bolstered by the disappointing figures.
Strong dollar
The decline in the price of gold was also partially attributed to a dollar that gained in value relative to other currencies, MarketWatch reports. The initiation of a new bond-buying program in Japan caused the yen to fall against the greenback.
Analysts at Citigroup indicated that their outlook for gold is bearish as a result of the value of the currency, stating that the precious metal is "hovering dangerously above weak support levels and the strong dollar is squeezing the life out of them," according to the news source.
Citi predicted that the greenback will remain strong this year, saying in a note that "it seems that renewed weakness in the U.S. and euro zone growth outlook need not produce the drop in the U.S. dollar across the board we saw in 2011," Reuters reports.
The document said that "we suspect that the U.S. cyclical leadership would remain intact even if the economy goes through a 'soft patch' in coming months."
ETF outflows
The media outlet reports that during the week ending on April 5, ETFs reduced their holdings of the precious metal to their lowest level since August 2012.
Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch noted this change on the behalf of the funds and also the sharp decline in gold values that happened the week before, stating that "prices still look vulnerable in the short term after the huge drop to the lowest in ten months last week," according to the news source.
He added that this "level could be tested again this week given continued outflows out of gold ETFs and bearish short-term investor market positioning."
Market speculation
In addition, speculative investors reduced their exposure to bullish contracts for the metal, MarketWatch reports.
Analysts of Commerzbank indicated that during the week ending April 2, these market participants cut their net length to 44.2 thousand contracts, which represented a reduction of 11.7 thousand, according to the news source. The market experts who wrote the report noted that the change "puts them only just above the four-year low they hit in early March."
Federal Reserve speculation
Reuters reports that the upcoming meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee will provide a key impetus for the direction of gold prices, according to analysts.
"Market participants will be keen to get further clarity on where Fed members stand on QE, particularly given rising talks of flexibility and potential tapering of asset purchases," UBS stated in a note, according to the news source.
The central bank has been engaging in robust stimulus, buying $85 billion in debt-based securities every month since late last year.

Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum: History of Blaze-Battling in the Sooner State
If you want to explore Oklahoma's firefighting history, like its first shack of a fire station or the classy fire engines of the early 20th century, the Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum in Oklahoma City is really worth a visit. Also go if you just have an interest in small museums that are dense with all manner of curious object, or the way technology developed with America's cities, or even if you just want to see some unexpected horse taxidermy. It's all there within its two rooms, although it starts outside with some weather-worn old fire engines.
I visited the museum with my mom while I was in Oklahoma City for the Thanksgiving holiday, as I'd seen it many times while on my way to the zoo which is right next door, but I'd never made it inside. The museum was opened in 1969 and is run by the Oklahoma State Firefighters Association, and is the only museum in the country to be owned and run by firefighters about firefighters.
Also outside the museum is the Oklahoma Fallen and Living Firefighters Memorial honoring Oklahoma firefighters, and the Wall of Valor, paying tribute to those who gave their lives while battling the flames. The memorial has a really powerful sculpture by Shahla Rahimi Reynolds of one firefighter giving his hand to another who dangles above the ground, both clinging to the remains of a roof on a structure that looks like it's about to collapse.
Inside the museum, the floors are packed with vintage firefighting vehicles and apparatus, and patches, photographs, wooden ladders, old alarm systems, resuscitators, fire hoses, and everything else you can think of related to firefighting history crowd the walls, ceilings, and cabinets, the majority donated by fire departments in the states, although some from individuals from around the world. The objects go back to the mid-1700s (obviously including things long before the Oklahoma firefighting tradition).
You can't miss Sam and Don, who are front and center and are taxidermy firefighting horses. They are hitched to a 19th century horse-drawn steam engine, which would carry water to the scene of a fire while someone perched on a tiny metal chair on the contraption, which weighed several thousand pounds when it was filled up.
Apparently Sam and Don were two draft horses who pulled the steam engine in the 19th century, and are now immortalized in the museum. I would love to know where they were before they were donated.
Here is another early firefighting gadget: the Hunneman Hand Pump from 1870. William C. Hunneman learned blacksmithing from none other than Paul Revere, and designed this hand pump to help combat the fires that would often consume early American towns. Water could be pumped from a container through the hose, improving vastly on the bucket brigades.
This rickety structure is the Fort Supply Fire House from 1864, the first fire station to be built in what would become Oklahoma. Something tells me the "keep out" sign isn't original, although with the free map you can get at the tourist office on the door.
I had never seen antique fire helmets before, and had no idea they could be so elaborate, or that they were once made of leather and metal. I suppose protecting your head was worth the discomfort from the heat. We also saw early firefighting coats made of rubber.
The 13 old fire engines are especially great, including this 1913 White engine used by the Lawton Fire Department. It looked like there had been a lot of serious restoration work on these things and they shined like new.
Here is a lovely 1919 Seagrave that was used by the Guthrie Fire Department.
You could spend quite a bit of time at the Firefighters Museum, examining the objects and appreciating just how far technology has come in being able to not just transport water and people to the flames, but also in protecting those brave firefighting people and finding new innovations in extinguishing and containing flames. Of course, firefighters don't just fight fires these days, and the museum also has an exhibit on the Murrah Building bombing. I'm so glad I was finally able to see the museum, and that even in a place like Oklahoma City that I have thoroughly explored, that there will always be something new to discover, even if it's from the 19th century.

Scottish Rite Temple in Guthrie
One of the most surprisingly opulent places is in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Over the winter holiday, I drove up to the town north of Oklahoma City to visit the Scottish Rite Temple, an ornate, over-the-top mammoth of a building highly decorated with lush furnishings and arcane Masonic symbols. As you can see from the image above, it's quite imposing, even more so since it is surrounded by single level homes, the termination of a road jutting off from downtown.
The temple was built in 1919, but its history goes back to a little before that. The cornerstone for the first Masonic building in Guthrie was laid in 1899, but the Masons moved into the current location after the capital of the state itself moved. Guthrie was originally where the new Oklahoma, getting statehood in 1907, set up its government, at a time when the town was the second largest city in the state. However, in a move involving a rather notorious incident where the state seal may or may not have been stolen, the capital was changed to Oklahoma City. The capitol building that remained in Guthrie was acquired by the Masons and incorporated into their new structure. The original legislative hall still remains.
Our tour started in the atrium, a stunning central hall with high ceilings from which there is the soft glow from stained glass and chandeliers. Every room in the temple was built to meticulously mimic a historic period of architecture or culture, and the atrium is a tribute to the Roman Empire. At 190 feet long and 52 feet wide, it certainly gives an air of awe, and the sleek marble makes it feel like a cousin to the temples of Rome.
The staircases at the ends of the atrium reminded me of Grand Central or other historic train stations, especially with the old clock ticking above.
We then entered the huge theatre, where the Masons perform the different degrees. I'm not really sure what that entails, but there were several Biblical-looking sets around the stage. I will also probably never get to see it, because even if women get to attend, they have to sit in an above area where they can't see the action. However, I did get to hear the pipe organ, which was programmed to play Bach's Toccata and Fugue, which is really the only song an organ needs to play. Like the atrium, the theatre has a Roman style to it, and there are 1,760 seats, so it's quite impressive. All 5,376 pipes of the Kimball organ are in an arch above the stage.
Upstairs we visited the Pompeiian Room, a tribute to that city drowned in ash. The columns and friezes all have detailed painted patterns and the benches and chairs are models of ones originally carved from ivory and onyx. The rugs are from Ireland, but perhaps the camel hair in the wool fits the theme. My camera turned them all into blurs of light, but in the center of each stained glass window was a Masonic symbol.
The Assyrian Room was also heavy on the ancient world-inspiration. The chandeliers were designed to resemble the fire pots the Assyrians used back around 700 BC to heat their homes, and the upper edges of the room's walls were even painted to appear singed by smoke. There were horse heads on the top of the columns and Assyrian sphinxes by the dark fireplace.
The Crystal Room was a gorgeous interpretation of 18th century English design, with its name taken from the Czech crystal chandeliers hanging from the towering ceiling. Every room of the temple seemed to have a sprawling, finely woven rug, but this one was the largest and apparently weighs 1,000 pounds. The rug had to arrive by train and be carried in twice by workers (the first time it was facing the wrong direction). This is back when Oklahoma was still a mess of a state, with dirt, dust, and oil derricks sprouting up everywhere, even right in front of the capitol building. To think of all this fit-for-royalty design arriving by train from the coasts is just crazy. Even now, Oklahoma isn't exactly known for having lavish homes (with the exception of certain oil barons), and the Scottish Rite Temple is like finding a Fabergé egg in the carton of eggs you got at the grocery store.
The Rose Room is sort of a companion space to the Crystal Room, also done in the 18th century English style, although on a less grand scale. The stained glass in its windows was originally in the first Masonic temple in Guthrie, and had more symbols. The temple was dense with symbols, with two-head eagles and rules and compasses everywhere. If the chandelier in this picture looks slightly askew, it was designed that way, for a reason I couldn't quite understand. Apparently it was a popular thing to make your guests feel like the room was moving back in the 18th century.
The "social promenade" (I love that term) at the top had views to the atrium and was in an Italian Renaissance style.
I loved the Writing Room, in a 17th century English style. Some of the chairs were made extra long for taller men. Were the men especially tall in Oklahoma in the early 1900s? This is where the Masons would write letters home while they were at the temple, although the room doesn't get much use now, sadly. At least they haven't put in computer outlets!
If I loved the Writing Room, I was absolutely infatuated with the library. In a Gothic style, it looked like something you'd find in Oxford, except for the cowboys and Indians on the pillars (one of the few Western touches in the building). There were literary quotes on the wall and Masonic texts in the cabinets. Our guide said there was also a secret room above the library where the librarian would have once stayed.
More old world elegance was in store with the Blue Room, which is also where many of the Masonic ceremonies take place (which is why there is an altar in the middle of the room).
Back downstairs, we entered the Egyptian Room, which was actually a 300-seat theatre. All the painting was done with pigments blended with egg whites, as the Egyptians did in their temples. (Our guide said the theatre had a rather awful smell the summer it was painted.) The curtain is from 1899, another carryover from the first Guthrie temple.
It was strange to go back out into the world from the Scottish Rite Temple, as if I had been time traveling to other countries and places, with odd symbols following me like a slightly off dream. If you ever find yourself in Guthrie, definitely pay the temple a visit. You will not be disappointed!

Will Global Warming Benefit Civilization?
By Vanessa Schipani
Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt suggests that global warming isn't necessarily "a bad thing" because "humans have most flourished during times of … warming." But recent years have been the warmest humans have seen over at least the last millennium. This record warmth is tied to more extreme weather events, sea level rise and other negative impacts.
Pruitt made his claim on Feb. 6 while speaking with Gerard Ramalho of NBC News 3 in Las Vegas (starting at 4:08).
Ramalho, Feb. 6: People don't seem to dispute the fact that the climate is changing, but there are two areas that are disputed and I'd love to get your thoughts. One is, is man causing the climate to change? And the other area is should we be alarmed because we hear about things like the polar caps melting and oceans rising and hurricanes and tornadoes that are more intense. What are your thoughts on this?
Pruitt: I think that's well said. I think that you're right that no one disputes the climate changes, is changing. We see that that's constant. We obviously contribute to it. We live in the climate, right? So our activity contributes to the climate changing to a certain degree. Now measuring that with precision is, Gerard, I think is more challenging than is let on at times. But I think the bigger question is what you asked at the very end — is it an existential threat? Is it something that is unsustainable? Or what kind of effect or harm is this going to have? We know that humans have most flourished during times of, what? Warming trends. And so, I think there's assumptions made that because the climate is warming that that necessarily is a bad thing.
We reached out to Pruitt's office for support for his claims, but spokeswoman Liz Bowman didn't provide us with any.
Pruitt is right that human civilization began flourishing during a warm period after the last major ice age, which ended about 12,000 years ago. This period — the Holocene Epoch — averaged about 4 to 5 degrees Celsius above the temperatures during the ice age that came before it, Andrew Glikson, an earth and paleo-climate scientist at Australian National University, told us via email.
But the burning of fossil fuels has pushed this global average even higher. Some scientists, including Glikson, even say this new warming trend deserves to be designated as an entirely new epoch — the Anthropocene.
The planet has warmed nearly 1 degree Celsius already since 1880, according to NASA. "Multiple paleoclimatic studies indicate that recent years are all the warmest, on a global basis, of at least the last 1,000 years," says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
How much warming we see in the future depends on how much action we take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
For example, if countries fulfill their pledges under the Paris Agreement, but make no further commitments to reducing emissions, the climate modeling nonprofit Climate Interactive found that the planet would see roughly 3.3 C of warming above pre-industrial levels by 2100, though that number could be as high as 4.4 C or as low as 1.9 C.
We've outlined some of the impacts of recent warming in previous articles.
In an article we published after Hurricane Harvey hit the U.S. with record amounts of rain last August, we explained that human activities have contributed to the increase in hurricane activity in the North Atlantic Ocean since the 1970s. We also pointed out that the Atlantic Ocean is projected to see increases in hurricane precipitation in the future.
In October, we explained that global warming can bring about conditions, such as heat and drought, that make wildfires more likely to occur and spread. "Climate change plays a role in increasing the rate at which vegetation dries out and becomes receptive to igniting and carrying fire," one expert told us.
Scientists also have high confidence global warming will lead to more heat waves, we pointed out last March. For example, Washington, D.C., is expected to see 60 to 70 days a year on average reaching 90 degrees Fahrenheit between 2041 and 2070, compared with 20 to 30 days above 90 F between 1971 and 2000 — and that's for the lower emissions scenario.
In that same article, we explained that sea level already has risen about 8 inches since 1880. By 2100, scientists expect it to rise 1 foot to 4 feet. Coastal communities are particularly threatened by sea level rise. For example, New Orleans, Miami, Tampa, Charleston and Virginia Beach are among those most at risk, according to scientists.
Last August, we explained that increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which drives global warming, likely will have a net negative impact on agriculture. An atmosphere with more CO2 does boost crop yield in the short term via increased rates of photosynthesis. But in the long term, multiple experts told us the positive effect of increased CO2 on crops will diminish, and the negative impacts of climate change, such as higher temperatures and extreme rainfall, will grow.
The warming the planet has seen over the past decades also has "significant potential" to lead to "unanticipated changes" in the Earth's climate, says the 2017 report by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, a collaboration of 13 government agencies. These "surprises" can come about when multiple extreme events co-occur, such as heat and drought, the report explains. The more we warm the planet the higher likelihood these unpredictable events will take place, the report adds.
This is important, given the fact that human civilization progressed into what it is today, in large part, because the Earth's climate remained relatively stable during the Holocene.
In fact, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that "the Holocene appears by far the longest warm stable period … over the last [400,000 years], with profound implications for the development of civilisation."
A stable climate allowed for the development of agriculture, which ensured a reliable food source, explains NASA. It also allowed humans to "domesticate animals, settle down and develop culture," NASA adds.
But there were some changes in climate during the Holocene, some of which played a role in the collapse of civilizations. Scientists have linked drought, for example, to the demise of ancient Egyptian, Mayan and Cambodian civilizations, says NASA.
"When we excavate the remains of past civilizations, we rarely find any evidence that they made any attempts to adapt in the face of a changing climate," Jason Ur, a professor of anthropology at Harvard University, told NASA. "I view this inflexibility as the real reason for collapse."
In an email to us, Ur put it this way: "Human societies have sometimes survived warming trends, but rarely unscathed."
