Photographer, specialist in the field of commercial photography and precursor of digital photography reproduction. Born on the 5th of May, 1939 in Kraków. Currently resides and works in New York City.
While contemplating the defining of my art, I think that it's a combination of Galician surrealism and American madness. I was lucky enough not to lose touch with my roots. I was well educated in Poland and I had a solid background that allowed me to find my own place in America. The collision of both of these worlds forged my work style.
Surrealism taught him how to arrange meetings of ordinary objects and how to apply unusual proportions. It's these things that project his intended atmosphere. It takes such bravery to boil it down to such simplicity, such talent and restraint to produce results, which are so suggestive and so fascinating.
From the very beginning, Horowitz was fascinated by the metamorphosis of matter and the transformation and connection of forms and their penetration. In order to obtain such effects, he implemented a multitude of techniques: retouching, multiple film exposures, switching of the membrane in the camera and re-exposing it along with shadow manipulation. Later he achieved the same results with the use of computers and specialized software. He often relies on the technique of photomontage. Preparation for all of his projects begins with a careful working out the concept and sketching.
I was extremely lucky to have met Adam Hoffman during my studies at the Higher School of Arts in Kraków. He was an artist, painter, outstanding teacher and a wonderful man with whom I remained friends until the end of his life (Adam Hoffman died in 2001) It was he, who instilled in me; a young lad, the love for art and showed me how I'm supposed to tread as a young beginning artist. The professor showed us classical arts, taught how to copy the masters; learn their strokes, composition; he turned our attention to what happens to the world transfixed on a three dimensional object.
For two years, beginning in 1959, Horowitz studied painting in Kraków's Higher School of Fine Arts, and later at the Academy of Fine Arts. He matured artistically during the period of the political thaw. At the time, Kraków was perceived as the center of avant-garde art painting, theater and film. Horowitz kept close relationships with artists from Piwnica pod Baranami, was fascinated by Jazz (He played clarinet) and had a keen interest in American photography. He photo documented the birth of Polish Jazz and in 1958 he prepared an exhibition at the People's Theater in Nowa Huta called, Naked Landscape a collection of female nudes. Unfortunately, the exhibition was shut down after only a few hours due to moral concerns.
In 1959, Horowitz left for New York where he began his studies at the prestigious Pratt Institute in the commercial and advertising graphic design department. This is where encountered his mentor, the prominent photographer, Richard Avedon. He became his assistant and worked on the sets of sessions including the famous portrait session with Salvador Dali in 1963. At Avedon's workshop he crossed paths with Alexey Brodovitch, the most influential figure in the generation of American photographers defined as the New York School. He took part in weekly seminars led by Brodovitch, who always encouraged his students to 'Surprise me!' This mantra accompanied Horowitz during the realization of his own works.
I was following my own path, a bit upstream. Looking to find my own niche, I was hoping that my commercial clientele would like me enough to allow for a steady income. My first big campaign came out in France. It was Rodier, the biggest textile producer in France.
Horowitz's first original creative projects were created around 1970 as a result of experiments with wide-angle lenses and false perspective. The final products were characteristic pictures that utilized the rules of optical montage. During the second half of the 60's, the artist accidentally stumbled upon an anomaly that allowed him to develop his own unique method of work. During a photographic session with a live model in a studio using a wide-angle lens, he accidentally triggered the flash. He noticed during the film developing stage that due to the use of flash, the objects in the foreground looked to be enormous in size while the model standing behind them seemed to have 'shrunk' substantially.
People are often convinced that my works were created recently and with the use of computer software. A lot of them were created prior to 1990, when I wasn't aware of the existence of computers.
By the end of the 80's, Horowitz was able to resign from darkroom work. Jerzy Kosinski's wife, Kiki, said during one of her interviews, that computers with the ability of digital editing were created with this artist in mind. In 1991, during the inauguration of Horowitz's exhibition at the Center of Photography in Geneva, he was officially named the initiator of a new style of commercial photography.
Ryszard Horowitz's commercial photography rarely has the character of direct information relating to the object. Rather, it stimulates the imagination of the viewer, and it forces them to certain associations, often reaching far beyond the substantive content of the advertisement.
The computer for me is only a tool. Photographers working with traditional techniques shouldn't be leery of digital imaging. I don't think that traditional photography will disappear any time soon, yet everyone should follow new technologies. At the moment, it doesn't matter if the technology used is traditional or not. The most important thing is the final product; what the given person has to say. It's not the workshop alone nor is it the type of camera or lens used which decides, none of that matters.
Digital manipulation allows for the covering up of traces of mystification often visible in Horowitz's photomontages. As it was in Allegory I in the 90s, where he composed a large number of pictures – sky from Peru, water from the Atlantic Ocean and other elements shot at his studio.
At first, Horowitz worked with computer studios that specialized in creating special effects for photography, film and television. This ultimately led to a long lasting cooperation with Robert Greenberg's R/GA Print Company, which, in turn, put at his disposal some of the most state-of-the-art equipment. By 1994, the artist managed to equip his workshop with enough Macintosh computers and Silicon Graphics workstations to allow him to work independently on the realization of his own projects.
Epitomized as the surrealist of photography and a lens maven, no longer working on commercial photography, he spends his time experimenting, uncovering new techniques and digital and optical devices. He calls his works 'photocompositions' as for him, a picture is something in the way of a musical composition.
In 2010, he organized a photographic session dedicated to the city of Poznan. It's the third city he has photographed, after Kraków and New York City. At this time, however, Horowitz used a special camera, the same as the one used by NASA to photograph Mars. The final effect was a collection of forty pictures taken both from the ground and from a bird's eye view. The artist used a hydraulic lift, scaled rooftops and towers, and for the final part of his project used a helicopter.
In 1987, Ryszard Horowitz's individual exhibition was held at Warsaw's Zacheta Gallery, and in 1994 the artist presented his works during the Camerimage Festival in Toruń.
1982 – Golden Cadillac Award in Detroit – for the best car of the year commercial campaign.
1983 – Title of American Photographer of the Year in a national poll conducted by Adweec Magazine.

Q: How can I get the numbers above and below a MAX value in Excel Say I've got a column of 50 numbers and I know how to find the maximum with the Large function. How would one find the numbers that are directly above and below the said number?
Screenshot:

I've attached a photo for reference. How would I create a function that would first find the largest number (500) and in the other cells find the value above (67,64,48) and below (71,75,88) it. Also, just to mention that the values in the column changes.

A: You can solve this issue in three steps.

*

*Use either the Max or Large function to find the highest value.

=Max(A2:A28) or Large(A2:A28,1)

*In the cell above that formula (B15), put this formula and fill it
up:

=INDEX($A$2:$A28,MATCH(B16,$A$2:$A$28,0)+1,1)

*In the cell below that formula (B17), put this formula and fill it
down:

=INDEX($A$2:$A28,MATCH(B16,$A$2:$A$28,0)-1,1)
Note: B16 is the cell with the formula for the largest value.
This approach will still return the correct values when the location of the largest value changes.

Home / News / BBC / Peter Salmon to leave BBC England role to lead BBC Studios
Posted on July 20, 2015 by David Prior in BBC, Featured with 0 Comments
Peter Salmon admitted he was "enormously proud" of his time leading the development of MediaCityUK after it was confirmed he would be taking a new post as director of BBC Studios.
Currently the BBC's director, England, Salmon oversaw the corporation's set-up of its Northern base in Salford.
His position will be taken by Helen Boaden, director of Radio, who will add the role to her other duties without any increase in salary. Salmon will also remain on the same salary.
The BBC Studios division was created last year as part of BBC director general Tony Hall's "compete or compare" revolution, one of the biggest shake-ups in its programme-making history.
The new division will contain the drama, entertainment, comedy and factual programme-making departments, and the corporation would be free to make programmes for every broadcaster in the UK.
BBC Director-General, Tony Hall, said: "I'm confident that Peter will bring all the energy and creativity he's shown at BBC England to this job.
"He's got a great track record as a programme maker and a creative leader and I believe he's the right person to help shape and mould BBC Studios. I've now asked him to work closely with the rest of the BBC to ensure Studios draws on talent from across the Corporation."
Salmon added: "This is a great opportunity to build a new model for BBC Production and work with some of the best people in the business. Our in-house teams across the UK are responsible for some of the most popular and high-quality television in the world.
"Programmes like Strictly, Doctor Who, Luther and Frozen Planet show that they can compete with producers anywhere and I want to build on that success.
"I've loved my time starting a successful creative community at BBC North in Salford and then with the BBC England team but this was too important an opportunity to pass over. I'm looking forward to getting down to work with new colleagues soon."
Salmon added on his blog that it "feels like a good time to bow out… I'm enormously proud of what we've achieved in seven years. It's been a dream, actually. I know those achievements will continue as we seek to build a new BBC."
Salmon, who was controller of BBC1 between 1997 and 2000, is also a former director of BBC Sport and co-inventor of Sport Relief. Earlier in his career he produced the likes of Crimewatch UK and was also executive producer of Oscar-winning Wallace and Gromit animation The Wrong Trousers.
Appointed director of BBC North at the end of 2008, he has led the launch of the BBC's second largest UK production centre in Salford as the organisation made its biggest ever move outside of London.
Over 3,000 BBC staff are now at MediaCityUK with a further 200 technology posts moving to Salford in 2015.

Q: Percentile from bins of distributions I need to find the "highest bin for 90% of samples".
I have a table like this:
my_table <- data.frame(matrix(c(122,68,2,0,30,0,0,0,5,79,23,9000), byrow=TRUE, ncol=4))
names(my_table) <- c("0-10","11-20","21-30","31-5000")

Where the bin-headers indicate minutes (time).
For the first row, 90% of samples are at intervals lower or equal to "11-20". I.e. 90% of samples have shorter time than 21 minutes.
For second row it is lower or equal to interval "0-10".
And for third row it is lower or equal to interval "31-5000".
I would like to add a column "90p-interval" where the above intervals are found automatically, resulting in the table like this:
my_table$Perc90 <-  c("11-20","0-10","31-5000")

My real table is thousands and thousands of rows long.
If someone can help I'm very grateful, and also thanks to everyone contributing to this fantastic site!
/Chris

A: It's not clear how you want he 90% cutoff to be determined from your answer when it's not exact so I provided a response that gives you something that matches your example.  This makes sure the selected cutoff is at least 90%.
my_table$Perc90 <- apply(my_table, 1, function(x) {
    pct <- cumsum(x)/sum(x)
    return(names(x[pct >= 0.9][1]))
    }  )

A: apply(my_table, 1, function(x) names(x)[
               max( which( c(0,cumsum(x)) < 0.9*sum(x)))
                                      ])

Artist Muriel Fahrion, who created Strawberry Shortcake, is an Ohio transplant who has lived in Tulsa for three years. Then Fahrion began to hear stories from adults who grew up with Strawberry Shortcake as a companion.

LAWTON, Okla. _ Across Oklahoma, superintendents from the smallest districts to the largest continue to contend with an ongoing teacher shortage that shows no signs of slowing. More than 30,000 teachers have left the profession in Oklahoma since 2013, according to the 2018 Oklahoma State Department of Education's Teacher Supply and Demand report. That's an average loss of 10 percent of the state teacher workforce. To help combat that loss, district administrators have had to increasingly turn to alternative and emergency certification options in order to put teachers in the classroom.

Aztec commission candidate receives threat
Sheriff's office investigates threatening letter
Steve Garrison
stgarrison@daily-times.com
FARMINGTON — The San Juan County Sheriff's Office is investigating a threatening letter sent to an incumbent candidate for the Aztec City Commission.
Roberta Locke, Aztec's current District 1 commissioner, said in an interview that she received the threatening letter Friday at her office at the San Juan County Adult Detention Center. It was postmarked Feb. 9, according to Locke.
Locke said the "extortion letter" demanded that she drop out of the race for the District 1 commission seat.
"I expected some mud-slinging, but this is an all-time low," Locke said.
Locke said she showed the letter to her attorney, who urged her to report it to law enforcement.
She said she has no intention of quitting the race.
"Quitting is not my way — it's not me," she said. "I am sure whoever sent it did not expect me to turn it over to law enforcement."
The sheriff's office said in a press release Tuesday that a single envelope containing two letters was sent to Locke. In a letter addressed to Locke, the sender threatened that if she did not drop out of the race, the second letter would be sent to several media outlets, Aztec city commissioners and the Aztec Mayor's Office, according to the release.
Sheriff's office Detective Lt. Kyle Lincoln said his office will not release the letters.
Lincoln confirmed his office is investigating the threat. He said he has never before investigated a criminal threat against a political candidate.
Arlenta Horse-Dickie, an office manager with the San Juan County Clerk's Office, said that in her 13 years as a county employee, she does not know of any candidates being threatened.
San Juan County Chief Deputy District Attorney Dustin O'Brien said he would not be able to say for certain what laws the sender violated without first seeing the letter.
"The fact that it was a letter might implicate federal law, if it was mailed," O'Brien said.

The beast in question is the Intel Q9450 .This is a 45 Nm quadcore (yorkfield) running at 1333Mhz FSB , 4x 2.667 Ghz , 12 Meg L2 cache.
Sisoft Sandra benches : Comparison against top processors from AMD and Intel , including the processor I am upgrading from , the Intel e6600.
I wasn't sure I'd notice the upgrade that much or not from the e6600 ,but wow , I'm impressed.
Boot time is down 4 seconds .
Pretty much everything works faster.
I'm still working on the baseline numbers , more data to follow.
Also , while I generally don't OC my main rig , I'll be doing some quicky OC's just for a lark ,and more data.
Most of what you think is faster is all in the mind.
There won't be THAT much difference from the e6600 to the quad and the reason for that is 90% of the stuff you run on a day to day basis will not take advantage of that quad.
Things like the raptor drives, memory speeds and motherboard will play more of a role than anything.
Good stuff, I want to get mine going, but I gotta wait.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one, i've also got a Q9450 and i can attests to it being much speedier than the Q6600. I've got no pictures to back up my claims but i've done alot of benchies with both on the same test bed.
My Striker 2 formula doesnt like the Q9450 overly much and because i was leaving town with a pc i just built (that included the Q9450) i was forced to pull my Q6600 out of my P5K and hit the road.
In the few times i was able to get the Q9450 stable on the Striker i was able to get a few 3d mark benchies with SLI turned on, best score i got with the Q9450 running with a slight overclock to 2700 (the only way i was able to get stable enough to boot windows) was a touch over 14000 (ram and vid cards stock clocks) While i've had a few weeks to tweek the system now with the Q6600 and i've overclocked the proc to 3080mhz and the ram to 514mhz ( in cpu-z, 1050mhz in bios... not sure what makes the difference) I've never been able to break 13500 marks. Even the sandra cpu benchies were quite a bit better.
That may be true but there are a few games that will benefit greatly and not to mention that you can be playing a game that is taking up 2 cores while the rest is on the other 2 cores. Like if you want burn a dvd while playing a game is possible with a quad core.
Heh...you might be right .
4 second improvement on boot , 4 seconds on superpi .That's good enough for me.....I'll see what other 'real world' benches I can do.....This is a work in progress.
I'm working on the 100% load pics too..
I see this argument all of the time WRT gaming, but not everybody uses their computers for gaming applications all of the time.
I prefer quads (you wouldn't know it by my sig right now, but check back on the 27'th :) ) because I like to fold 24/7 and I like the fact that the < 10% free processing power left over still allows me to do everything I want from ripping CDs, streaming my media content, surfing, and heaven forbid... running productivity apps like OpenOffice and Paint.net all at the same time while still having a computer which seems damn near as speedy with all of that stuff running at 100% of its requirements as it does running only one of the apps.
Wooohoo! Can't wait to see some overclocking.
Sorry no updates on this yet.I'm working too much.Gotta pay if yah wanna play.
I dug a hole 4' x 3' x 9' deep today (with a shovel) and paid for half this proc anywayz.
I'll get some OC's up soon I promise.


Such a treasure! I love finding social notices. Several times these notices have helped me find family connections by indicating where other relatives reside.
I am very fortunate to have been the recipient of all the family memorabilia. It really is a treasure trove of history. I actually wrote the story "Dusty Old Boxes" detailing this treasure. Thanks for your comment!

Winter Ferry Tale
If a vessel is unlucky enough to be berthed as a river ferry in Yakutsk, it will spend most of its life frozen into the surface of the Lena River. For in this northern Siberian river city, the navigational period lasts just 4.5 months.
Yet, as a ferry, it will be valued as a vital link in this metropolis of 300,000, which, as it happens, lies on the opposite side of the Lena River from both the main railroad line connecting Yakutia to Neryungri and the rest of the country's rail network, and the Lena Highway, which connects to the Transsiberian road network.
This winter, authorities finally agreed to build a bridge between Yakutsk and Nizhny Bestyakh, the town on the river's east bank. It will be the first bridge across the Lena River, and could usher in a new era for all of Yakutia, which has long been cut off from the rest of Russia for much of the year, when the river is impassable, either because the ice is too thin for cars, or because floating ice endangers boats. But of course locals have employed ingenious methods to cross the river over the years, such as Russian-made aeroboats that can zip across the top of icy slush, aided by giant propellers.

Possessor review – terrifying sci-fi horror freak-out | Peter Bradshaw's film of the week
The director's thrillingly ingenious tale of mind-invasion technology, starring Andrea Riseborough, barrels towards the most outrageous final twist imaginable
With her recent appearance in Panos Cosmatos's sepulchral horror Mandy opposite a baying, gurning Nicolas Cage, Andrea Riseborough became the smartest sort of contemporary scream-queen specialist. Now her face looms redly out of this unspeakable nightmare of the near future, a mask of fear and blood. Possessor is the highly unsettling new picture from 40-year-old Canadian film-maker Brandon Cronenberg, and it shows the influences of his father David's early work, particularly the cranium-splitting revulsion of Scanners. It's a thoroughly macabre satire of surveillance, corporate management, paranoia and power, with hints of Coppola's The Conversation and Nolan's Inception. There were, incidentally, moments when I even heretically wondered if Possessor had a bit more dramatic life and forward movement than Inception.
Possessor is, above all, an ultra-violent sci-fi-horror freak-out that will probably have you hiding your face in your hands. (That's what I did.) Almost the very first shot is of someone inserting a clinical needle deep into their own scalp. But the gore has to be seen in the context of a strangely ingenious and interestingly thought-through story that has the most outrageous and disturbing final twist imaginable.

Terrifying Footage From A Nazi Propaganda Film Highlights The War Effort Put In By Children
CHILLING FOOTAGE from a World War Two Nazi propaganda film showing how young people from across Europe contributed to the German war effort has resurfaced this week.
The film, released in 1944 to help boost morale in Germany, shows Slovakian youngsters going through cold weather training in preparation for front line duty against what they perceived the growing threat of Bolshevism.
Further footage from the video shows members of the Hitler Youth practicing a river crossing as a part of their training to become grenadiers and sappers, while the final clip shows how young people are helping on the 'home front' by working in the factories.
The film helped boost morale in Germany, by showing Slovakian youngsters going through cold weather training in preparation for front line duty against what they perceived the growing threat of Bolshevism. Public Domain / mediadrumworld.com
From its origins in 1922, the Hitler Youth was essentially a way of indoctrinating impressionable youngsters into the Nazi Party from an early age.
It took its inspiration from the Boy Scout Movement (which, ironically, was banned in 1935), and many of its initial activities revolved around camping, hiking and team activities. However, as time went by the organisation became more and more paramilitary in nature, with member activities increasingly taking on the appearance of military training.
As the Second World War approached alternative youth groups in Germany were banned, to the point that by the start of the war the Hitler Youth was the only organisation young people could join, with membership compulsory. By 1940, the organisation had eight million members.

As the war progressed the Nazi leadership began to slowly reform the Hitler Youth into an auxiliary force which could carry out war duties, with youngsters brainwashed into believing that the survival of the German state must come above all else. With an increasing number of men being killed in combat, it began to fall to the Hitler Youth to pick up the slack at home, mainly by assisting in the factories and fire brigade.
The casualties continued to build up for the Germans, though, meaning more and more strain was placed on the Hitler Youth. This culminated on D-Day in 1944, where nearly 20,000 members of the Hitler Youth were enlisted to protect Germany against the allied invasion. The organisation lost some 3,000 lives, with many reports of the youngsters being among the fiercest fighters.

With the allies advancing fast, the Nazi leadership began to enlist younger and younger members of the Hitler Youth to take part in the fighting. By the time the allies reached Berlin there were reports of children as young as twelve being used in the fighting, with the children being described as among the most fanatical. One recruitment poster from the 1940s read:
"The proudest and most manly thing a German can do is to bear weapons for the freedom and greatness of his people and Reich.
"The Reich Youth Leader and thousands of your leaders are dong their duty as soldiers. We require and expect you to imitate them, and also here in the homeland to behave honorably."

Personally, I love the idea of "multipurpose". I love the fact that I have 2 jobs (Stark and writing), love clothes that can be worn in different ways, and love when products have more than one function. Like Stark's!
This was no fluke. A couple of years ago I lived in a crazy-small apartment. It was something like 100 square feet, with an entire wall being taken up by a pretty vintage fireplace that was totally and utterly useless. When I met my dear husband, he lived in a similarly petite apartment in Montreal's McGill Ghetto. Here, we call those apartments "one and a halfs".
Anyhow, at one point me, my cats, my fish and all my crap moved into his apartment (it was marginally larger) for a couple months before we found the apartment that we currently live in, which is also pretty small. We became masters at paring down, and editing out the unnecessary and of sourcing objects that served more than one purpose. For example, we have a small couch in the livingroom that folds out to become the spare bed. We also constructed a partition wall out of 4 ikea book shelves between the cozy living room and what's now our dining nook. This has provided much-needed storage, and created a whole new room that never existed!
It's not the we're total minimalists, or live in monk-like austerity, but we don't like excess either. I recently realized that this was similar to how I make Stark products: each product is pretty minimal, but never boring. I am not offering you stuff that you can easily make at home, nor am I offering products with WAY too many ingredients that your skin might freak out about. What you get is Goldilock-like perfection of just-right-ness. BUT The best part, is that each product is multi-functional! Yup, not just the GRAPEFRUIT Cleanse + Hydrate (which obviously both cleanses and hydrates) is multi-purpose. They ALL are.
So, in order to explain all this super useful info, I'm going to be writing/vlogging a series of entries describing the different ways that Stark products can be used! Yay, fun!

The week of May 9 saw scores of scientists, researchers and clinical laboratory professionals descend on the nation's capital for the annual American Clinical Laboratory Association (ACLA) conference.
ACLA serves as a voice in Washington D.C. for clinical laboratories nationwide. A key topic of this year's conference was the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) initiative to regulate laboratory developed tests (LDT), like the ones Genelex provides, as "medical devices."
Legal and other experts representing ACLA have expressed strong doubts about the FDA's authority to regulate LDTs. At Genelex, we stand with them. We believe the FDA's regulatory authority does not apply to laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) and that moving forward with such regulation as we currently understand it would be expensive, limit accessibility to these tests and harm patients.
We welcome efforts by the FDA to improve their regulatory processes, but such improvements must be based on strong evidence for a problem. For example, the FDA needs to provide a similar level of evidence for the basis of their concerns with LDTs as they would expect when presented with novel medical technologies or treatments.
Secondly, we encourage the FDA to do a cost-benefit analysis to determine if regulating LDTs as they propose will be worth the potential limitations new rules could place on LDT accessibility. This ought to be taken into consideration, given that well-respected organizations, such as the College of American Pathologists, already set standards for such testing.
As ACLA president Alan Mertz wrote earlier this year:
"LDTs are regulated under a strict and comprehensive framework that also allows laboratories to develop tests quickly and to update them regularly as research and medicine advances, giving patients access to the most current diagnostic testing available. Diagnostic innovation and improved patient outcomes, which have thrived under the current regulatory framework, would be threatened by the FDA device regulatory framework."
We applaud the work of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, which oversees the FDA, and encourage them to make LDT regulation discussions a priority.
Howard Coleman co-founded Genelex in 1987 and serves as chairman and CEO. He holds a BS in clinical science and a BA in psychology and studied at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Local History Museums
Civico Museo di Storia Patria
Via Imbriani, 5
Civico Museo di Storia Patria preserves and displays documents, objects and artworks related to the history, private life and folklore of Trieste. It has been open to the public since 1911, albeit in another venue, and its collections are exhibited since 1950 (with some interruptions) on the first floor of Palazzo Morpurgo in Via Imbriani 5.The present permanent exhibition was developed in 2007 and 2008 and includes three sections, dedicated respectively to the history of Trieste, to the Stavropulos Art Collections and to the Textile Room. Local history unfolds in the first three rooms, where paintings and objects bring back to life the atmosphere of the past Trieste, focusing on its architectural development and on the people who made this commercial city great.
A gallery of portraits (both miniatures and oil paintings) beginning with Maria Theresia, the Austrian empress who started the urban development of Trieste, a series of local landscapes, a choice of 19th-20th century silverware and the rich medal collection of the Medagliere Patrio show the faces, the artefacts and the buildings of a new town and of its new citizens. Two further rooms are dedicated to works and objects once belonging to the vast personal archives of Ugo Carà (Muggia, Trieste 1908-Trieste 2004, a sculptor from Trieste) and Gianni Bartoli (Rovinj 1900-Trieste 1973, mayor of Trieste from 1949 to 1957) respectively.
The central hall and two rooms display the art collection donated in 1952 by Socrate Stavropulos (Trieste 1882-Zurich 1960), increased with further donations until his death. This is a heterogeneous collection of 150 works, including paintings, sculptures and drawings by Italian and European artists (mainly from Trieste and Hungary) dating from 16th to 20th century.
In the Textile Room, a selection of the different types of materials belonging to the rich textile collection of the Civici Musei di Storia ed Arte is on display. Besides silken fragments from 15th to 19th century, there are formal and evening dresses, ethnographic clothes and vestments dating to the 18th and 19th centuries. Much attention is attached to the creations by Anita Pittoni (Trieste 1901-1982), a genial textile designer from Trieste, whose activity reached its peak between the two World Wars.

Q: Compactness and dimensionality. Compactness is indeed a central theme in analysis and general topology.
Since the first courses in these subjects, we are exposed to criteria for compactness, such as the Heine-Borel Theorem for subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^n$.
 Then we grow up to discover, in our first course of functional analysis, that things do not work so desirably in the case of infinite dimensional normed spaces, as through Riesz Lemma one shows that the unit ball is not compact in an infinite dimensional vector space. Much in the same line of thought, studying topological vector spaces, hence vector spaces endowed with a weaker notion of distance, we have another theorem by Riesz stating that a topological vector space is finite dimensional if and only if it is locally compact. To recover compactness in infinite dimensional spaces we introduce weak topologies and weak compactness, defined through the topological dual of a space.
Finally in the general context of topological spaces one can proove finite product of compacta compact without the axiom of choice , while the famous Tychonoff theorem relative to the infinite case is actually equivalent to it (or better to a weaker version). Moreover, when one increases the dimension of a space, most naturally does it through product we have  $\mathbb{R};\ \mathbb{R}^n=\mathbb{R}^{n-1}\times\mathbb{R}...$
I have highlighted words much in a brainstorming fashion, to show the relations I know between compactness and dimensionality, intended in a broad sense. Compactness do recalls, in its definition, a notion of dimensionality, in the sense that if a space is compact, we are always able to extract a finite object, a cover, from an arbitrary one. What I would like to know is:

*

*Is there more to this intuition? Can we formalize it?

*Can we build a notion of dimensionality directly from compactness, in a way which is somehow consistent with the usual one, in the case of vector spaces?

*Is there a more general relation between compactness and dimensionality, with compactness being a 'signature' for a notion of finite dimensionality?

Thanks in advance

A: It is not quite clear what you are asking, so I will answer your questions the way I understood them.

*

*"Is there more to this intuition? Can we formalize it?"

Sort of. The usual notion of compactness deals with finite open covers and their subcovers. One of the abstract notions  of dimension (applied to all topological spaces) is due to Chech (based on ideas due to Lebesgue), it is called the covering dimension.  It is formulated in terms of refinements of open covers. For $E^n$, covering dimension gives you the expected number, namely $n$. (Which is not at all obvious.) Thus, if you use the notion of covering dimension, then indeed, you get some formalization of your intuition of relation between compactness and dimensionality (both are defined in terms of certain procedures related to open covers, although the procedures are quite different if you look at them closely).

*"Can we build a notion of dimensionality directly from compactness, in a way which is somehow consistent with the usual one, in the case of vector spaces?"

It depends on what class of topological spaces you want to "cover". If you are satisfied with manifolds (defined as spaces locally homeomorphic to a certain, say, Banach, vector space) then yes: You define dimension of this manifold to be the dimension of the Banach space. This dimension will be a topological invariant and a manifold will be finite-dimensional if and only if it is locally compact. If you are satisfied with this class of topological spaces then you are done. Originally, going back to the 19th century, topology was developed primarily in the context of manifolds. However, eventually, people realized that this class is way too narrow and it took quite a bit of effort to develop notions of dimension for general topological spaces. In this degree of generality (even if you restrict to, say, metric spaces) finite dimensionality has nothing to do with compactness and your "vector space intuition" breaks down completely. The best thing to do is to abandon it and deal with dimensionality separately from compactness.

*"Is there a more general relation between compactness and dimensionality, with compactness being a 'signature' for a notion of finite dimensionality?"

No. A good example is the Hilbert cube: It is compact but infinite dimensional in any reasonable sense.
One last thing: Different parts of mathematics have their own notions of dimension. For instance, dimension in the sense of algebraic geometry is (mostly) different from the one used by topologists. If you study fractals then you get yet another notions of dimension, which are geometric rather than topological invariants. Why is this is another question: Everybody wants to have a single numerical invariant of their favorite class of spaces.

With many years of experience in domestic electrical installations and maintenance, we can provide you with all the help you need for all your domestic electrical work.
Whether you need help with a fuse box replacement or a tripping MCB we offer the expertise to provide you with a solution to work around all your electrical applications.
Please scroll down for information on common domestic electrical faults.
Many older fuse boxes use a piece of fuse wire which is designed to burn out under load. The wire needs replacing every time they are overloaded or become britle and break due to everyday usage.
If you have an old fuse box with re-wireable fuses then you could benefit from an upgrade to a new modern consumer unit (fuse box) with circuit breakers instead of fuse wire and RCD's for additional protection.
A Residual Circuit Device (RCD) protects by constantly monitoring the current flowing in the live and neutral wires supplying a circuit or an individual item of equipment.
Under normal circumstances, the current flowing in the two wires is equal.
When an earth leakage occurs due to a fault in the circuit or an accident with the equipment, an imbalance occurs and this is detected by the RCD, which automatically cuts off the power before injury or damage can result.
A Circuit Breaker (MCB) has two automatic disconnect devices, as well as magnetic coil which detects overcurrent it also contains a bimetallic strip which the current passes through. The two metals are chosen so that as they heat up in response to the current flowing, as the temperature rises the strip curls, if a large enough current flows disconnection occurs. This thermal type of circuit has the added benefit of detecting even quite small overloads.
The ease of re-tripping MCB's as opposed to re-wiring a blown fuse wire and the additional protection a new consumer unit gives you far outweigh the cost of replacement.
Help with your commercial electrics when you need it most.
Worried about the strain of office equipment on your electrics? Thinking of installing new lighting or sockets in your commercial property? Then call us, we are on hand for all manner of commercial technical questions and problem solving and can help you get the most from your electrics, no matter what your business.
The only way to ensure your electrical installation is safely maintained would be to carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report, formerly known as a Periodic Installation Report. Which in most cases are required 5 yearly.
Another option would be to test approx. 20% of the installation every year which can be preferred by companies who cannot isolate all of the electricity at any one time.
Many people/organisations dismiss electrical testing as a necessity as it is not statutory. This is a common miss-conception although it is not directly wrong.
(1) All systems shall at all times be of such construction as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, danger.
All electrical installations deteriorate with age and use. They should therefore be inspected and tested at appropriate intervals to check whether they are in a satisfactory condition for continued service. Such safety checks are commonly referred to as 'periodic inspection and testing' now known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report.
As it is a requirement that electrical systems installed in places of work comply with the The Electricity At Work Regulations 1989, More and more companies are putting in place people and policies that deal with the electrical testing and other Proactive Maintenance Programs to create a safe ,viable and profitable environment for their staff.
If an MCB trips this could be an indication either that the circuit has been overloaded or that a short circuit (fault) has occurred somewhere in the circuit.
Before resetting the MCB it is important to attempt to identify what has caused it to trip. I would advise to switch off any appliances connected to the circuit or switch off any switches which may have been on.
Before attempting to reset the MCB I would advise turning off the Main Switch, this will isolate all the electricity to the circuits. Reset the MCB by flicking the lever, up is on, down is off.
Finally return the Main Switch back to the on position.
If the MCB immediately resets itself once power is restored, then a fault is still occurring.
Overloading can be a fairly easy problem to solve, it is caused when too many appliances on one circuit are used which exceeds the rating for that circuit, causing the fuse to trip. The easiest solution is to be careful not to use too many appliances or fittings at the same time.
If you are certain the circuit is not being overloaded then the next step is to inspect all the light fittings, switches, sockets, and appliances using the blown circuit.
Firstly make sure the circuit is off using an appropriate tester. If you are not confident doing this yourselves then we recommend you to call in the experts.
Look for damaged cables or scorched areas.
If you still can't find any problems then it is time to give us a call.

American Chorus and Orchestra to Visit North Korea
HOME HOME North Korea
Korea IT Times (info@koreaittimes.com)
The Sons of Jubal
ATLANTA, GA, USA—A 150-member all-male chorus and orchestra from the Atlanta area will perform in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea during their Spring Arts Festival in April.
The chorus and orchestra, named the Sons of Jubal, will be one of the largest musical groups of Americans ever to enter the DPRK. The Sons of Jubal was founded in 1954 and consists of volunteer professional musicians, church musicians, educators, and institutional leaders from the state of Georgia.
Global Resource Services, Inc. (GRS), a non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Atlanta, is coordinating the cultural exchange. Through its "Advocacy for the Arts" program, GRS is providing opportunities to promote goodwill and reconciliation.
GRS has already sent three other groups to DPRK, including the Grammy Award Winning group, Casting Crowns. The organization has three main principles: relationships, respect, and reconciliation.
"We are excited that this opportunity has come after a decade and a half of experience in DPRK-United States musical exchanges," said Robert Springs, GRS Chief Executive Officer and President.
The Sons of Jubal will also have performances in Beijing, China, which will include a brass choir, handbell choir, and vocal ensemble. The group has presented concerts in major halls, local churches, and communities in the United States, Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica, Moldova, the Czech Republic, and Russia.
"This is a historic opportunity for the group and I am privileged to be a part of this great musical endeavor," commented Dr. Jon Duncan, conductor of the group for the past 10 years.
The Sons of Jubal performs an extensive repertoire in the classics, Broadway show tunes, spirituals, and contemporary genres. Members of the Sons of Jubal will leave on April 10 and return to Georgia on April 23.

Should I pool all my investments in SEO or PPC?
Like so many cost-conscious marketers out there, you probably leaned more towards the "free" traffic that SEO can provide. After all, it's no secret that an ill-advised PPC campaign can quickly burn through your funds before you can close a single sale.
As a small business with a limited budget, it's much more sensible to have a slow and steady approach rather than invest in something with no guaranteed results — that much is true.
However, that doesn't mean you should turn away from PPC altogether and ride towards the sunset with SEO by your side.
The truth is, it's never been about which is better. It's about learning how to balance your efforts between SEO and PPC — and how to leverage your gains from each to grow your business.
If you want reliable brand growth over the long-term, then, by all means, use SEO as your go-to strategy. But if you need profits right now, then a well-planned PPC campaign with Google AdWords will give you the tools you need.
In this post, we'll show you how to use Google AdWords to develop a profitable PPC campaign.
But first, we need to go over a few things.
Before anything else, it's crucial that you learn how AdWords work.
Put simply, AdWords is a PPC advertising platform that can help give any business a running start.
In case you're not already aware, PPC stands for Pay-Per-Click, which means you need to dole out cash whenever users click on your advertisement.
That's just about as straightforward as it can get.
Upon logging into AdWords with your Google account, you'll immediately be asked about your advertising goal.
The succeeding steps are all basic stuff — entering your business name, specifying the location of your customers, and so on. You should be able to breeze through the entire setup process without a hitch.
To make sure your AdWords campaign yields profitable results, it's important to pinpoint the location of your target audience. Otherwise, you may end up wasting precious advertising dollars on users who have no way of purchasing from you.
You can either specify certain areas through the Google Maps widget or set up a radius around your location.
If you chose the latter, all you need to do is select your business address and use the slider to adjust your desired radius.
Alternatively, you can enter the specific countries, cities, or states you want to target in your AdWords campaign.
When specifying the service areas of your business, Google AdWords conveniently shows you a projection of your audience size.
The next step is to define the product or service you're trying to promote through AdWords.
Based on the website you entered earlier, AdWords will present you with a couple of category suggestions that fit your content.
If you have a clear idea of what you'll be offering on your ad, don't forget to define it in the field at the bottom of the page. This will allow Google to display your ad whenever users search for something similar.
AdWords campaigns can be used to promote an indefinite number of products, so be sure to add them all if they're related.
Again, AdWords will estimate your potential audience size based on your campaign's configuration thus far.
At this point, you now have enough information about your business to start creating your ads.
The secret of how to run an effective AdWords campaign lies in your copy.
First, you need to write your ad's "Headline 1" and "Headline 2." These can only be up to 30 characters long each, so you need to make every letter or number count.
Studies show that incorporating numbers and actual dates in your headline could increase clicks by as much as 217 percent.
If you want to make your audience believe in your value proposition, every benefit must be conveyed in a tangible and measurable fashion. The key here is to be as specific as possible while using fewer words.
When it comes to your ad's description, the same rules apply: cut all the guesswork, focus on your selling points, and keep it concise.
The good news is, you get slightly more legroom for your description with a 90-character limit. That should be more than enough space for you to introduce the benefits of your product or service to your audience.
Don't forget to include a direct call -to-action or CTA to cap off your description. There's no need to overthink it — just go with simple phrases like "Call Us Now," "Buy Now," "Order Today," and so on.
It's also important to identify the "oomph" factor that makes your brand unique. Unfortunately, there's no specific blueprint that we can share on finding your brand's unique value proposition.
That's something you need to figure out on your own.
What happens in your market if you disappear?
What's the personality that you want your brand to have?
What do you hate about your competitors?
How do you want customers to remember their experience with your brand?
Perhaps the most intimidating step when talking about how to run an effective Google AdWords campaign is your ad budget.
Google AdWords makes this simple by suggesting the typical competitor budget range right off the bat. Tuning this will automatically update the estimated performance of your campaign.
To finalize your campaign, you'll have to fill in your billing information. Once complete, remember to give it one quick review before you submit it to Google.
When running your AdWords campaign, it's important to pick the right keywords for your ad groups.
This is where our favorite keyword research tool — Long Tail Pro — steps in.
What you need to understand is that the search volume for a particular keyword is just a small piece of the puzzle. It's not just about finding keywords with buyer intent, either.
This time around, you also need to pay attention to the keyword's average advertiser CPC bid.
Long story short, the average CPC bid is the amount other advertisers are willing to pay for each click when utilizing the keyword for their PPC campaigns.
Your top priority is, of course, to make sure you're not losing more money than you earn with ads. As such, you need to calculate your break-even CPC or Cost Per Click.
To do this, you simply need to multiply your desired Cost Per Acquisition or CPA with your current conversion rate.
Since you want to turn a profit, you either work on increasing your conversion rate or lowering your maximum CPC to less than your break-even CPC.
Of course, the CPA is also a metric that's easy to underestimate for new advertisers. Keep in mind that companies also factor in the overall Customer Lifetime Value or CLV when calculating the amount they should spend on customer acquisition.
For example, suppose your customers need commercial repair services once per year — generating a profit of $1,500 per sale or $3,000 in two years. Let's say you also charge for maintenance checks of $70 per hour.
Suddenly, increasing your CPA from $500 to $600 or even $700 doesn't sound too bad.
You can use Long Tail Pro's "Bid" metric as a benchmark for the average CPC your competitors are paying.
Remember to use keyword filters to find buyer keywords that are relevant to your location.
There you go — a guide on how does AdWords work and how to make sure you don't blow your budget on PPC.
If applicable, be sure to target the right location when setting up your AdWords campaign.
Include a compelling CTA in your ad description as well as a unique value proposition.
When writing headlines, be as specific as possible and insert actual figures if you have them.
Manage your PPC budget accordingly by calculating your break-even CPC and maximum CPC.
Use Long Tail Pro to find target keywords for your ad groups.

2019 Tom Thumb Wedding: "The Most Magical Wedding on Earth"
67 years ago a tradition began in Conway, SC....a story that through the years has had hundreds of characters, numerous settings and themes, but just one plot…the wedding of Tom Thumb and Jennie June. For those of you not familiar with the tale, General Tom Thumb was the stage name given to Charles S. Stratton by P.T. Barnum. Tom was only 2 feet, 11 inches tall and an entertainer in the circus. In 1863, Tom married the equally small statured Miss Lavinia Warren in a highly publicized and lavish wedding. Soon afterwards, a play based on the wedding was performed by theatre troupes throughout the country and small children played the main characters. The Fine Arts Club of Conway continued this tradition beginning in 1952 with our local Kindergarten students. The wedding is not just for entertainment, however. Money made from this event goes to fund scholarships for high school students who wish to pursue a college degree in the arts, as well as to support theatre, dance, music, and visual arts programs right here in Horry County. *Tickets are available through Eventbrite for $8 per person or for $10 at the door (cash or check only) *Doors open at 6:00pm and seating is first come, first serve Join us on Thursday, April 4th, 2019 as we keep this long-standing tradition alive!
