My co-worker and fellow editor Jackie had raved about photographer Seth Casteel long before we ever published his photos in Dogster magazine. This was back when Jackie and I worked for a publishing company out of California and Seth was an up-and-coming California dog photographer. I remember that's how I first heard about him. And then, I heard about him some more because he didn't stay an up-and-coming photographer for long as he soon found national success with his books — Underwater Dogs, followed by Underwater Puppies and Pounce.
Today those books sit on my bookshelf in my office. The Pounce book — about cats, course! — is signed because I actually got to meet Seth later, after he did a couple of covers on Dogster and after I left California, when we both were at a Bark World pet conference.
I have to say, truly, that one of the perks of my career has been all the pet photographers I've known over the years. They are really a great group of people and I wish I lived closer to many of them so we could hang out more. Seth was no exception. His clothes and hair announced his artistic flair, he was way more fashionable than most of us there. He was really genuine with a great sense of fun and a personality that shined. It's not a surprise that he's now the host of a television show, particularly one about dogs looking for homes.
The premise of Finding Fido is simple — making the perfect match between humans and dogs. Seth takes people looking for a dog and introduces them to dogs looking for a home. For example, in Season 1, an active man named Matt with type 1 diabetes went to Seth for help finding a companion dog who could also possibly become a certified diabetic alert dog.
At the end of the episode, the humans are matched with pups that best fit their lifestyles and needs.
But don't worry, the dogs not chosen find homes too. You can find out what happens to them at Z Living's website, zliving.com.
What's Z Living? Cable company Z Living's programming focuses on fitness, health and food, and other fun lifestyle topics, like pets! If you don't have the Z Living channel, you can still watch the shows On Demand by streaming them to your preferred watching device.

Seth's new book, It's a Puppy's Life.
Seth just wrapped his second season of Finding Fido. (If you missed it, you can still watch it On Demand and stay tuned for next season.) We got a chance to ask Seth some questions about the show and other projects he has going on.
DOGSTER: How did you get involved with Finding Fido?
Seth: In 2007, I began volunteering with Los Angeles animal shelters as a photographer, taking pictures of adoptable dogs and cats to help them find families. Since then, I've had the opportunity to photograph adoptable pets all over the world and teach photography workshops to shelter and rescue staff and volunteers. For me, Finding Fido is really just an incredible way to continue that work with a larger audience. I believe in a positive approach to educating others about animal welfare, in particular rescue and adoption. Finding Fido is exactly that! We are able to match adoptable dogs with families, while at the same time, providing insight to viewers at home about adoption and what kind of dog might be a great match for them and why.
What has surprised you the most about your experience with Finding Fido?
How emotional this experience has been. I have the opportunity to really get to know our adopters and the dogs, so each episode [is] personal for me because I'm seeing dogs literally be saved and humans evolve into even better versions of themselves because of these dogs.
How do you think the experience has changed you?
I'd like to adopt a second dog! I've been thinking about it for a while, but after filming season 2, it's just always on my mind! I also know that my rescue doodle, Nala, would enjoy a pal to lounge around with on the couch when I'm out bopping around for work. Also, the show reveals to all of us the many exciting and innovative ways that dogs can improve our lives as human beings, especially regarding our mental and physical health. Dogs truly are humans' best friends!
Is there any dog's story that touched you in particular?
Every episode is special to me for different reasons, but this season, I really connected with Antoinette and Neveah. They are a wonderful family and the addition of a dog to their home was so special and important to them. The dog they adopted was a perfect fit!!!
How did you come up with the idea of doing your new book It's a Puppy's Life?
I was chatting with some puppies and they were telling me that it would [be] a lot of fun to team up on a book about their daily shenanigans! You can check it out here — It's a Puppy's Life.
Any other upcoming projects you want to share with the Dogster audience?
I'm working on a new book project that I'm super excited about! I'll give you just one guess what the subject of the book is! Hint: It's not about people. I'm also going on an Underwater Dogs Tour this summer! I'll be visiting quite a few cities across the U.S., so if you have a water-loving dog who loves to chase a ball, give me a shout!
If you like silly pictures of dogs and cats, you can definitely check out @SethCasteel on Instagram or at my website — SethCasteel.com. And also, you can follow my work on Finding Fido Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Z Living, or Live on Demand through GO.zliving.com.

Standing in a prominent location to the east of the church and adjacent to a section of medieval wall (possibly representing a fragment of the old manor of Morley, long since demolished).
Three-bay single-storey Perpendicular Gothic Revival style mausoleum. Roof hidden behind parapet. Cross finial to east. Red sandstone ashlar walls with stepped baseplinth, buttressing and parapet stringcourse. Ogee-headed niches carrying statuary to south elevation. Multi-foil mullioned lights grouped within square-headed opes to south and west with round-head ope to east having stained glass by Burlison and Grylls.
Finely painted ceiling to interior. Marble sarcophagus to centre of floor having glass inlayed within the lid, forming a cross. Altar to east wall. Framed memorial inscription, on vellum, to wall.
The mausoleum was built in memory of Hugh Alleyne Sacheverell-Bateman (1860-1896) by his wife, Anna (1866-1946). The couple lived at Morley Manor. Bateman was a good musician, a splendid shot and an expert horseman. Prior to his marriage he had led a number of exploratory expeditions to Asia and North America and had learned to sleep in the saddle. Apparently he was asleep while returning from a day's hunting when his horse, which knew the way home, walked under a low branch. The branch struck Bateman full in the face and knocked the stem of his pipe through the roof of his mouth. He lived for a time but finally died of septicaemia. The Bateman's had no children and Anna did not marry again until 1913. Her second husband was Commander Russell Lister-Kaye who was Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence during the 1st World War. Morley Manor was sold in 1938 and, at Anna's death in 1946, the mausoleum became the property of her sister's grandson, the late Duke of Valderano (d.2005). It was he who, in 1996, consigned it to the care of the MMT.
The mausoleum will be open on Saturday 8 September and Saturday 15 September from 2.00 to 4.00 pm as part of Heritage Open Days.
Good. During the last eight years, the roof, stonework, ironwork, stained glass and vellum inscription have all been restored by the MMT with the help of grants from English Heritage, the Glazier's Trust and the Barbara Whatmore Charitable Trust, as well as donations from our members (2006).
Research carried out by Sheila Randall, church warden at Morley, and her correspondence with the late Duke of Valderano.

Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee
Housing (Wales) Bill: Stage 1
Response from: Tai Ceredigion Monitoring Group
For the:
Committee Clerk,
Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee,
National Assembly for Wales.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to respond to the current version of the Housing (Wales) Bill. We, in the Tai Ceredigion Monitoring Group, made a submission during last year's consultations on this matter.
For your recollection, the group was set up to monitor the Tai Ceredigion residential social landlord's implementation of the transferred stock from the Ceredigion County Council up to the Welsh Housing Quality Standard (WHQS). This is ongoing, although we have moved on to a more scrutinizing role.
Regarding the Bill itself, we welcome much of that included, although, as representatives of tenants, we feel the emphasis has been more on property than on protections of tenants' rights. An example of this is in the improvement and maintenance of properties, particularly in the private sector. Although there is some scope to do this through the process in the renewing of licences, there is also scope, especially under the pressures to find suitable accommodation for those who are homeless or feel forced to move because of the welfare reforms, for these improvements to lapse. Too many tenants in the private sector are being forced through circumstances to live in substandard properties. Furthermore, the Bill only specifies quality of accommodation standards for social housing. Therefore, we would prefer a statutory obligation written in the Bill for all landlords to bring their properties up to a recognized standard (currently WHQS) within an acceptable time-frame and to maintain that standard to fulfil the requirements of any renewing of a licence. In this way it is hoped all properties for rent will be of a recognized standard.
Regarding standards, although Part 4, pp54-9, considers the interventionist powers the Minister has regarding local authorities failing to meet standards, we feel this is not clarified fully as to which sanctions could be used.
Although there is provision within the Bill for private landlords to offer assured tenures, we would prefer a greater of protection of tenure for tenants written into the Bill, culminating with full security of tenure. The exceptions to this provision, both assured and later secure, would be if tenants had histories of antisocial behaviour, repeated non-payment of rent without negotiation with their landlord, or damage to property without restitution.
With a shortage of suitable tenures, those desperate will look for ways to jump any queues to gain access to available properties. We have heard of cases of such queue jumping for which the current version of the Bill does not prevent; if fact, actively encourages, and therefore the potential loophole needs closing. This is where people have joined the armed forces for only the period of basic training in order to claim they are homeless after leaving the force. We feel the Bill needs to be amended to stipulate only those who have served the regulatory minimum of three years or have been wounded on active service and discharged before their full term.
Although sections 60 and 61 on page 35 give a definition to what is meant by "intentionally homeless", we feel this is not a easily understandable to tenants who might be considered as such. Furthermore, we are concerned about cases where the named tenant leaves a property in which their partner and children are living but are not named tenants, thereby making them homeless. We would therefore request clarification within the Bill of such dwellers in such circumstances.
Although Part 2 of Schedule 1 allows access to the register of licensed landlords within individual local housing authorities, we feel it worthwhile these individual registers to be compiled into comprehensive register for all Wales. Similarly, we would request a survey of long-term empty properties and unused land previously allocated for residential properties, so the Welsh Government would have some idea of the current rental situation in the Country and of its future development.
Jim Scanlan,
Chair, on behalf of the,
Tai Ceredigion Monitoring Group.

Posted on July 19, 2018 July 19, 2018 by Lucas Phan — Leave a comment
Haskell-class Attack Transport
This article refers to the entire Haskell-class; it is not about an individual vessel.
Displacement 6720 tons standard; 14837 tons full
Length 455 feet
Beam 62 feet
Draft 24 feet
Machinery Steam turbine engine, 1 propeller
Power Output 8500 SHP
Armament 1x5in/38 Dual Purpose gun, 4x to 12x40mm twin Bofors autocannon, 10x20mm Oerlikon machine guns
Capacity 1,562 passengers or 150,000 cubic feet/2,900 tons of cargo
Landing Craft 2 LCM, 2 LCPL, 2 LCPR, 18 LCVP
Haskell-class attack transports (APA) were amphibious assault ships of the United States Navy created in 1944. They were designed to transport 1,500 troops and their combat equipment, and land them on hostile shores with the ships' integral landing craft.
Of the 111 Haskells built in time to see action in WWII, all served in the Pacific Theater with most participating in the Okinawa landings. Some also landed Marines and Army troops and transported casualties at Iwo Jima. Ships of the class were among the first Allied ships to enter Tokyo Bay at the end of World War II, landing the first occupation troops at Yokosuka. After the end of World War II, most participated in Operation Magic Carpet, the massive sealift of US personnel back to the United States. A few of the Haskell-class were reactivated for the Korean conflict, with some staying in service into the Vietnam War.
The Haskell-class design, Maritime Commission standard type VC2-S-AP5, is a sub type of the World War II Victory ship design which, in turn, was a follow-on class from the highly successful Liberty ship design. A total of 117 Haskell-class ships were launched in 1944 and 1945, with 14 more being cancelled.
Victory ships, even armed Victory ships, were manned by civilian merchant marine crews but Haskells, seen as pure combat vessels, had US Navy or US Coast Guard crews.
The design was intended for the transport and assault landing of over 1,500 troops and their heavy combat equipment. During Operation Magic Carpet, up to 1,900 personnel per ship were carried homeward.
The Haskells carried 25 landing craft to deliver the troops and equipment right onto the beach. The 23 main boats were the LCVP Higgins boats. The LCVP was 36 feet (11 m) long and designed to carry 36 equipped troops. The other 2 landing craft were the 50 foot (15 m) long LCM (3), capable of carrying 60 troops or 30 tons (27 t) of cargo, or the 56 foot (17m) LCM (6). They also carried one gig.
The Haskell-class ships were armed with one 5″/38 caliber gun, up to twelve Bofors 40 mm guns (one quad mount, four dual mounts), and ten Oerlikon 20 mm guns.
Ships of the Haskell class
Haskell-class attack transports included APA-117, USS Haskell, the lead ship, through APA-247, the never completed USS Mecklenburg. The hulls for APA-181 through APA-186 were repurposed to be hospital ships before they were named. Ultimately those hospital ships were built on larger C4 plan and the six VC2 hulls were built in a merchant configuration. APA-240 through APA-247 were named, but cancelled in 1945 when the war ended. With the special exception of the USS Marvin H. McIntyre, the Haskell-class ships were all named after counties of the United States.
Most of the Haskell-class ships were mothballed in 1946, with only a few remaining in service. Many were scrapped in 1973-75. A few were converted into Missile Range Instrumentation Ships.
As of the 31 May 2010 MARAD inventory, there is only one ship built as Haskell-class left in the inventory: The USS Sherburne, which was converted to USS Range Sentinel – She in the National Defense Reserve Fleet at James River, Virginia. Her status is listed as "Disposal."
USS Gage, the last remaining ship in the original Haskell configuration was scrapped in 2009.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard baseball team is set to open Ivy League action this coming weekend at Columbia. The Crimson will play a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 11:30 a.m. and will follow up with a single game on Sunday at 1 p.m. Both days' contests will be streamed on the Ivy League Network.
The Harvard baseball team powered past Holy Cross 10-2 on Wednesday night at the New England Baseball Complex in Northborough, Mass. After more than a week off form competition, Patrick McColl and Jake Suddleson combined for six of the Crimson's nine RBI with McColl hitting .500 at the plate.
Grant Stone earned his first win of the season at the pitchers' mound, tossing two batters in two innings pitched while allowing just a single hit. Six other members of the bullpen had time to throw tonight, combining for nine strikeouts while allowing just six hits from the Crusaders.

A brief overview of C-N amide bond formation: past methods and current catalytic approaches.
A facile synthesis of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines and -pyrazines is described using a Pd-catalyzed amide coupling reaction. This reaction provides quick access to products with substitution at N1 and C2. A model system relevant to the natural product pentosidine has been demonstrated, as well as the total synthesis of the mutagen 1-Me-5-PhIP.
This reaction was then further explored to utilize more readily available catalytic components and to increase the substrate and amide scope.
The C2 amination of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines was accomplished through C2 halogenation followed by substitution (SNAr) with functionalized primary and secondary amines. This regioselective sequence is operationally simple and provides an easy access to derivatives of protected imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines.
Pentosidine, a biologically important advanced glycation endproduct, has been accessed in a rapid, high-yielding manner. The synthesis was accomplished via a six-step sequence starting with 3-amino-2-chloropyridine and features a palladium-catalyzed tandem cross-coupling/cyclization to construct the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine core.
A copper catalyzed amidation of Boc protected 4-chloro-3-aminopyridine was accomplished to produce a number of aryl and heteroaryl 4-chloro-3-aminopyridines. These pyridines were used to synthesize regioselectively substituted imidazo[4,5-c]pyridines using a Pd-catalyzed amide coupling reaction.
A regioselective palladium-catalyzed amidation of polychlorinated aminopyridines was accomplished to provide chlorinated imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines. A preliminary optimization of these reaction conditions is described herein.

TRIBUTES have been paid to a super-fit crime scene investigator, who died suddenly last week.
Father-of-two David Johnson, from Darlington, was planning to take a walk with his wife, Sue, on Sunday (April 21), when he collapsed.
Mr Johnson, a passionate mountain biker, who had served Durham Police for almost 25 years, had celebrated his 56th birthday just days before he died.
He had been undergoing treatment for recent health problems, but his prognosis was good and Mrs Johnson said his death came as a terrible shock to family and friends.
She said: "We had our 34th wedding anniversary three weeks ago. We were at school and sixth form together and got married in 1979.
Mr Johnson's modesty was reflected in April last year, when he and a colleague received a commendation for braving cold weather to gather evidence that led to the arrest of suspects in a theft case.


While it might seem that the disruption du jour is all anybody is ordering these days — making innovation, growth and new value seem like insurmountable things — businesses should focus on where they can find value most quickly.
Three common challenges plague companies today: non-consumption, organizational friction and market failure. However, such unexpected failures provide opportunities for solutions, and solutions are the source of explosive value.
Take any expanding company and ask: What underlies your growth? Across industries and time, explosive value has come from addressing market failure, organizational friction and non-consumption head-on, through the development and deployment of new assets and capabilities. These issues create a white space or void; an opportunity in which an innovative solution can provide businesses with the value and growth they seek.

Wong Aoki's 'Flower Book' focuses on 100 years of racism

Wong Aoki's 'Flower Book' focuses on 100 years of...

Storyteller Brenda Wong Aoki and her husband musician Mark Izu's cheerful San Francisco home teems with ancestors. They are there in family photographs, and in the stories that Wong Aoki and Izu tell over coffee and pie at their dining room table. These relatives are the characters who populate Wong Aoki's "Aunt Lily's Flower Book: One Hundred Years of Legalized Racism," her live performance with music by Izu and koto master Shoko Hikage that will close CAAMFest 2018 on Thursday, May 24. They are ancestors, but they are not ghosts. As Wong Aoki and Izu chat, these spirits come alive.
"Mark was working with (CAAM Executive Director Stephen Gong) on his family's home movies," Wong Aoki says of the roots of "Aunt Lily's Flower Book." "Mark's Aunt Lily passed, and home movies came into his possession — home movies with Mark's music. But then his cousin found Aunt Lily's flower book, which was her diary, and between each page were these pressed flowers." At a screening at CAAMFest last year, which was only 20 minutes long, Wong Aoki says, "I read some of the diary, which was really illuminating. Mark's dad was drafted into the 442nd (the decorated Japanese American World War II combat unit). His mom was thrown into a prison camp. And the rest of his family was bombed in Hiroshima. This is one family. This is when the idea clicked.
"I'm doing some traditional stuff, kind of Noh-esque, then just some kind of regular contemporary theater, just no fourth-wall talking to people. Then playing all these different characters. I don't even want to count, because then I'll freak myself out."
The election of Donald Trump also figures into the back story of "Aunt Lily's Flower Book." Wong Aoki was scheduled to perform at the 2017 San Francisco International Arts Festival. She originally planned a Kabuki love story, but "I couldn't indulge in a happy story for general people looking for a night out," she says.
In addition to the home movies and diary, Wong Aoki's play "Uncle Gunjiro's Girlfriend," the story of her great-uncle's relationship with and subsequent marriage to Helen Emery, the daughter of the archdeacon of Grace Cathedral, an event with huge ramifications for the Aoki family, was another piece of the puzzle. Gunjiro's older brother, Wong Aoki's grandfather, was a co-founder of Japantown and an up-and-coming bishop in the Episcopal Church, but he was blamed for not preventing his sibling's romance. He was banished to Salt Lake City to try to convert Mormons.
"He told his oldest daughter that the family was never to tell anyone that we come from San Francisco, that we were samurai, that we were somebody," says Wong Aoki. "We lost so much face that we are nobody and don't ever say we're anybody."
Other characters that appear in "Aunt Lily's Flower Book" include her Scottish-Irish-Chinese grandmother, whose father built Cairns, Australia, only to have the country make it illegal for Chinese to own property. She eventually found her way to San Francisco, where she became the first vice president of the first Chinatown garment union, and later a Rosie the Riveter during World War II. The husband she left, Wong Aoki's grandfather, was a seaweed farmer the family thought was dirt-poor, only to discover after his death that he was wealthy.
"Grandpa had survived the Chinatown purgings, when they had burned down all the Chinatowns and all the Chinese were being shot and lynched as they fled," says Wong Aoki.
"I guess a lot of this show is about residual trauma that we don't realize that we carry, because after we started to delve into Mark's family, I realized that this nerdy, Asian uptight look (Izu's father had after the war), it's body armor. It's like, 'Don't bother me, I'm safe. I'm nobody that you need worry about.' That is really sad."
"I think the whole idea is being so personal — these are our families' stories — that it becomes universal," adds Izu. "The strangest people come up to us and say, 'You're telling my story.' They're not Asian, but it's every kind of family's story."

Q: Angular 12 table header sort is undefined I'm working on an upgrade from Angular 8 to 12 and got some errors. Most of them are fixed. The only one left is this one
The error
This error means that the sortChange is undefined. The data is displayed in the table. I use this code for the sort function:
ngOnInit(): void {
this.currentPageIndex = 0;
this.currentPageSize = this.paginationSettings.defaultPageSize;

this.setDataSource(this.entities);

this.sort.sortChange.subscribe((sort: Sort) => {
  debugger;
  return this.sortChanged(sort);
});
}

When the view is loaded I set the event this.sort
  ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.dataSource.paginator = this.paginator;
    this.dataSource.sort = this.sort;
  }

The value if variables are

We believe it is obligatory to say that graphic design, this specialty later, rapid development, related to all sectors and activities of life, this total only technical expertise due to his relationship with a piece of information and technology, we know it its many names, as well as graphic design, as it is a one-piece design information and design media. All these names refer to the extent of its development as an independent science, the task of finding a solution to the problems in the field of promotion, presentation or communication. Therefore, it is the language of the time a language other than desktop or static, but developing and adapting to changes in time therefore, we find that graphic design is in need of a qualified team and development capable of dealing with modern life requirements in a language that has a short message simple and direct, we also recognize the relationship of graphic design to writing, printing and publication, since its inception and is a groundbreaking work that the partners of words with art and how using technology as a means of communication, which begins with a message pioneered by a designer who develops into a visual media beyond the words and notes that control of color, font, image and ideas through the imagination of the designer and the production of the media through which he can convey the desired message to the crowd.
Therefore, its importance appears to play an important role in modern life and be a critical factor in the promotion, media and other means of rapid transportation in a piece of information to the community dominated by the speed exceeds the speed of light, therefore, becomes rapid change due to its relationship with the community. We face the fact of origin of graphic design and development stages. Through reading your story, we could know the life that has passed since its inception in the early 19 th century Europe and how it was their first home and the role played by some of the pioneering designers, each in his specialty through the development of tools and techniques and to describe the means that were developed and multiplied after the first poster and the book. We also know that the factors that made an independent science, as well as its influence on later art trends.
I talked about the relationship of graphic design with special techniques limited to the developed print and visual media to become conclusive multiple phenomena are developed by the development of modern technology, therefore, changes in graphic design a science with knowledge of a concept of constant development. This reflects the limits of the classical conception of graphic design and development in what is called an empty network that brings to mind the need to assess the skills and individual characteristics of the paintings in this field, and limit the classical concept of the term graphic design as fictitious and imaginary, although the organization of the theoretical factors and imaginative in their production by using different techniques to suit the production mechanisms as well, production may be one of the media contained in the design graph.
The close relationship with print graphic design can not be ignored, therefore, I prefer to clarify a misunderstanding that confuses between graphic design and graphic art and the role of each of them. Based on this definition, we have been able to clarify the role played by graphic designer using the design factors on an idea and prepare a special design for each of the media according to their means to end, " what print style to be used, bearing in mind that the success will depend on the print for the first time in the designer.
All this makes us ask, is the philosophy of graphic design can, through imagination and fiction, meet the challenges of the time information effectively? Of course, the answer is determined by the fact that a designer must have absorbed the product of his time in the field of information effectively and that it must develop its printing fictional piece of information in order to produce in a way that suits your time and your needs. I also talked about how graphic design is concerned with certain material and information and how to handle each of them to perform the desired message.
We can not talk about technology without talking about the team since its inception has an important influence on the development of the results of graphic design since 1970 outside the Arab world and in late 1980 in the Arab world. By nature, the availability of equipment offers many programs that serve as graphic design at all levels, in addition to Internet innovation. The team has really helped in developing the skills of designers, and the introduction of property-speed performance through a set of special solutions to the image, font, shape and color.
We can not deny the importance of means of curriculum development and graphic design in addition to the diversifying them to cope with the speed of development and do not forget the needs and market development. The academic process should depend on the requirements of time for constant technology development and time requirements. Therefore, the objectives of the innovative work combined with the design competition and qualification are the basis on which planning strategy depends on the preparation of curricula that encourage and enable creative thinking and relate it to technology information based on the different levels of human knowledge and science programs that support the principle of how to understand and implement the comprehensive graphic design to protect from short-term scheduling, based, in this sense in theory Designer material cognitive, language, way of speaking and his ability to know how to deal with time changes, technology, training and qualification of what is in the future with respect to the stages of evolution of knowledge human, developing plans and programs that are under constant development.
Therefore, the nature of the work of graphic designer is different from other professions, not only because it is the most innovative field by focusing on dealing with a piece of media and visual communication, but also through different rules that constitute the work setting, following a special innovation and an advanced approach to achieve the objectives of this innovative work and the skills and qualifications of the designer. Graphic designer is not only an artist but also a technician who is able to make use of available programs and techniques to accomplish the task which he is charged. As a result, a designer who, through his imagination, arrives in the crowd, promote your imagination, arrives at the crowd, promotes and presents through effective implementation with little exaggeration technique to realize the job successfully.
The fact is that graphic design is firm in its core, developing the tools you need to closely monitor and distinguished pictures with a lot of knowledge in the field of arts, psychology techniques, marketing, knowledge and information. It considers the socio technical development assistant in computer, internet or programming and systems. We believe it is the development of ways to present their different media come in the form of stationery, posters, brochures, flyers, catalogs, targeted message, brochure, website and other major media group.
The core of graphic design are the basic factors of design and its theories and philosophy which are constant throughout while the variable is the style of application design, how the media and enforcement tools that have been transferred to practical part of the use of equipment and a large group of programs that deal with the hand writing of image and color. The development of forms of promotion, presentation and communication as well as the diversity of its forms developed, all depend on digital media.
We conclude, after considering these factors and the phenomenon in which and with which graphic design plays an important role that graphic design is constantly evolving.

Mytho-Delirium: Thomas Pynchon's Vineland — Douglas Glover
Another in a long list of zombie book reviews revived from my old days when you could actually make a little extra money writing reviews (and learn a lot about writing on the side). This one appeared in a magazine called Books in Canada in 1990. I quite like it because I managed, despite my tender years and experience, not to be awed by the aura of greatness. For example:
His long-awaited new novel, Vineland, his first since Gravity`s Rainbow (a book about V-2 rockets and coprophilia, I think) in 1973, reads like the mutant offspring of Henry James-turned-northern-California-mall-rat and Marshall McLuhan in the paranoid grip of a bad acid trip, with a little Joseph Campbellish mytho-delirium thrown in for colour.
Little, Brown (1990)
THOMAS PYNCHON IS a mysterious and reclusive cult figure in the United States, a kind of highbrow J. D. Salinger, a grey eminence of the American Post Mod movement, and one of the four horsemen of the New Writing of the `60s and `70s, along with John Barth, Robert Coover, and William Gass. His long-awaited new novel, Vineland, his first since Gravity`s Rainbow (a book about V-2 rockets and coprophilia, I think) in 1973, reads like the mutant offspring of Henry James-turned-northern-California-mall-rat and Marshall McLuhan in the paranoid grip of a bad acid trip, with a little Joseph Campbellish mytho-delirium thrown in for colour. Part political allegory and part metaphysical fantasy, Vineland seeks to answer those perennial questions: What happened to the `60s? Who betrayed the Woodstock nation? It`s also about TV, the trivialization of violence, and America`s loss of innocence (yes, yes, that again —America, the eternal virgin) during the Nixon-Reagan presidencies.
Pynchon puts the blame for the steamrolling of Hippiedom squarely on the Tube, the Man (DOJ, DEA, FBI, CIA), and certain dark forces — "… the unrelenting forces that leaned ever after … into Time`s wind, impassive in pursuit, usually gaining, the faceless predators… [which] had simply persisted, stone-humourless, beyond cause and effect, rejecting all attempts to bargain and accommodate, following through pools of night where nothing else moved wrongs forgotten by all but the direly possessed, continuing as a body to refuse to be bought off for any but the full price, which they had never named."
Bleak? Heck, yes. But Pynchon tempers his bleakness with a stoned sense of burnout that runs the gamut from sly literary in-jokes — e.g. a "Carpenter Gothic outhouse" — to full-scale satirical set pieces and running gags. A character named Zoyd Wheeler lives on government disability cheques he earns by jumping through plate-glass windows once a year in front of a battery of Live Action Cams and TV reporters. Zoyd`s daughter, Prairie, makes a hit as a cook at an Esalen-like martial-arts retreat serving up such yummy items as baked Spam with grape jam garnish, which she discovered on the recipe page of the local TV magazine section. Zoyd`s nemesis, Detective Hector Zuniga, is being treated for "tubal abuse" and tries to have his ex-wife charged with murder for shooting the family television set.
The plot of Vineland is a flimsy, cardboard thing (as you would expect in allegory), a frame for the jazz riffs of Pynchon`s manic-mythic reconstruction of American history. It has something to do with the obsessive, sleazoid relationship between Brock Vond, an evil Department of justice operative intent on subverting everything good in the U.S. of A. from the radical left to marginal marijuana farmers, and Frenesi Gates (blonde, blue eyes, anagram for "sin free"), Zoyd's wife and the daughter of a couple of pinko Hollywood black listees from the McCarthy era.
At the counter-culture`s apogee, Brock "turns" Frenesi into a snitch and a stool pigeon. She betrays Weed Atman, the Christ-like leader of a rock and roll "republic" on the California coast, then sets him up to be murdered. Frenesi spends the next 14 years in the government`s Witness Protection Program, traveling from one trouble-spot to the next as a freelance traitor. Then in 1984, deficit-driven cutbacks force the WPP to drop Frenesi and her fellow stoolies from the program. She and her file disappear, and Brock goes hunting for her with an army of SWAT teams and black helicopters that pluck people from the ground in a black-comedy version of the "rapture."
Everyone converges on Vineland, an imaginary county north of San Francisco where the hippies, rad lefties, the Thanatoids (a community of the living dead waiting for "karmic readjustment"), and Zoyd and Prairie have taken refuge from Yuppiedom. At the climactic moment, another round of cutbacks pulls the plug on Brock`s very own program. His choppers grounded, he simply dies away, or at least finds himself being led down an earthen trench to the mythic Yurok underworld where an ancient spirit couple sucks the bones from his body.
What all this seems to mean is that TV has sapped the moral fibre of what Pynchon calls "Midol America," paving the way for the triumph of the cynical, rich, and sun-tanned retro-fascists of San Clemente and Santa Barbara. Yet, in the long run, these malign forces of modern commercial capitalism will strangle on their own deficits and the ancient Red Indian gods of the North American earth will reassert their hegemony.
This is goofy political day-dreaming and a middle-class, male, whitebread version of American history (what ever happened to women`s lib and the civil rights movement?). This is thinking big on the level of Doonesbury and Oprah Winfrey. Some of the ideas in this book are so downright trite they're embarrassing (e.g. pistols and stick shifts are penis substitutes). And yet, and yet, beyond the run-on jokes, the jumbled mythologies, the errant orthography, and the relentless folksiness of the dialogue, there is something compelling about Vineland. It's a book that sticks in your mind, seems increasingly hilarious in retrospect, and fairly seethes with a spooky sort of Quixotic, half-wit wisdom. There is something about the foolishness of it all that may be next door to greatness.

The Jasenička river (Serbian: Јасеничка река / Jasenička reka) is a river in eastern Serbia, a 55 km-long right tributary to the Danube.

The Jasenička reka originates on the eastern slopes of the meridionally elongated Deli Jovan mountain in the Carpathian region of the eastern Serbia. The river springs out under the mountain's highest peak, Crni vrh (Black peak) and flows to the east, originally under the name of Vrelska reka. The area is sparsely populated (villages of Popovica and Trnjane).

The river enters the Negotin Valley region, between the villages of Karbulovo and Jasenica, the river turns north, and from this point it is generally known as the Jasenička reka. The river forms an arc to the north, begins to flow to the south at the village of Miloševo and after few kilometers reaches to town of Negotin, the regional center of the Negotin Valley. The Jasenička reka then turns east, passes next to the dual village of Kobišnica-Bukovče and empties into the Danube just some 1.5 km north of the mouth of the river Timok.

"Where's The Police When You Need Them": D.C. Delegate Asks The Right Question After Bizarre Incident Near White House
by Jonathan Turley,
NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell and Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) had a bizarre encounter yesterday when a man dressed only in a bra and panties rushed then near Black Lives Matter Square and the area claimed earlier as the "Black House Autonomous Zone."
Mitchell immediately asked "where's the police" and Norton added "where's the police when you need them?" It is a question that many of us have been asking D.C. officials for weeks as police have stood by and watched statues destroyed and defaced around the city.
This week, D.C. Chief of Police Peter Newsham stated that his department has made the "tactical decision" not to intervene as certain statues have been torn down in front of them. I have been highly critical of both this destruction and the failure of D.C. officials to act, including the iconic bust of George Washington on my own campus at George Washington University.
Thankfully no one was injured in this encounter:
The answer to the question however is equally troubling. Police are often around when violence and destruction occurs in these protests.
The question came up when reporters asked Newsham why officers stood around as mere pedestrians on Friday night as a mob pulled down the statue of Albert Pike in Judiciary Square. There have been good-faith calls for the removal of the statue, including by Norton. I have participated in this debate for years on determining what public art should be removed and what standards we should apply to the preservation of historical monuments, including a discussion organized by the Smithsonian Institution a few years back. Some monuments should be removed but this should be done with the consent and deliberation of the communities. Indeed, such acts hold greater meaning when done through legitimate and consensual means. This is not part of that debate, this is destruction by mobs who unilaterally determine what public art will be allowed and what will be destroyed.
After a mob was allowed to attach ropes and work to pull down the statue of Andrew Jackson, there was a belated response from federal and district officers. The statue however was defaced and was only saved from toppling by its sheer size. Media reported that Mayor Muriel Bowser and her office declined any comment on the mob scene that was scene on every network. That was what one might call a "tactical political decision."
The "tactical decision" made by the Newsham is a convenient and widely used approach around the country. Leaders are allowing art to be destroyed rather than confront these mobs — not on the inherent value of the monuments but the right of society to make such decisions as a whole. This is nothing new. Such tactical decisions have been made by universities for years as they watched their art destroyed without any action or discipline. At the same time, police have been ordered to give mobs free range in destroying public art. Even when arrests are made, prosecutors have dropped charges under pressure from the public.
This same tactical decision has been made in other cities by leaders. Just yesterday, a legislator was attacked and sent to the hospital for taking a picture of the destruction. Both journalists and pedestrians have also been attacked for filming such scenes by protesters. Democratic senator Tim Carpenter told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he was beaten after taking a photo last night as two statues being toppled.
I believe this is State Senator Tim Carpenter. Minutes earlier he told us the protesters assaulted him. Then he collapsed walking towards the Capitol. We called paramedics. An ambulance is here now. pic.twitter.com/uUSdKyQ1hp

The protesters tore down the statue of Col. Christian Heg, who fought and died during the Civil War on the Union side
As noted earlier, the spectrum of action from cities and universities seems to range from deafening silence to cringing compliance in the face of such destruction. At the University of Oregon, famous statues of the Pioneer and Mother Pioneer were torn down. The University condemned the destruction and then promptly promised that the statues would be carted away and not returned.
Thus, the answer to D.C. Delegate Norton's question is that the police is often present, but remain mere pedestrians by design. Call it "tactical" or consensual, but destruction of public art and historical monuments is occurring with the acquiescence of the city leaders.
