Darwin inventions
What was Darwin famous for?
Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882) transformed the way we understand the natural world with ideas that, in his day, were nothing short of revolutionary. He and his fellow pioneers in the field of biology gave us insight into the fantastic diversity of life on Earth and its origins, including our own as a species.
What are the 5 main points of Darwin's theory?
Darwin's theory of evolution, also called Darwinism , can be further divided into 5 parts : "evolution as such", common descent, gradualism, population speciation, and natural selection.
What animals did Darwin discover?
His discoveries included four different species of giant ground sloth (some of the largest land mammals ever to have lived), a gomphothere and the remains of an extinct horse. Many of Darwin's fossils survive, at the Museum and elsewhere.
Why did Darwin study evolution?
Charles Darwin is centrally important in the development of scientific and humanist ideas because he first made people aware of their place in the evolutionary process when the most powerful and intelligent form of life discovered how humanity had evolved .
Where is Charles Darwin buried?
What plants did Darwin study?
Darwin wrote about a number of botanical topics, including carnivorous plants . But his most important work of botany was perhaps his 1862 book on orchids , titled On the Various Contrivances by Which British and Foreign Orchids are Fertilised by Insects, and on the Good Effects of Intercrossing.
What is Darwin Theory?
Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by the English naturalist Charles Darwin (1809–1882) and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce.

What is the law of Darwin?
Darwin's law of natural selection implies that a population in equilibrium with its environment under natural selection will have a phenotype which maximizes the fitness locally.
What are the 3 theories of evolution?
So main theories of evolution are: (II) Darwinism or Theory of Natural Selection. (III) Mutation theory of De Vries. (IV) Neo -Darwinism or Modern concept or Synthetic theory of evolution.
What two animals did Darwin study?
Darwin studied bees and ants in his own garden. One of the reasons he may have held back from revealing his ideas about evolution was the problem of cooperation in social insects.
Did Darwin eat owl?
Throughout his life, he went around the world eating exotic species. Charles Darwin's most civilized attempt at being a foodie was The Glutton Club. They managed to eat hawk and bittern, but when they tried chewing on a brown owl , the kids found it too disgusting to continue. Darwin wrote that it was "indescribable."
Did Darwin know about dinosaurs?
Although Darwin did not study dinosaurs because paleontology was in its infancy a century and half ago, he considered both paleontology and anat- omy as essential subjects for establishing the validity of evolution.
Is Evolution a Fact?
Evolution , in this context, is both a fact and a theory. It is an incontrovertible fact that organisms have changed, or evolved , during the history of life on Earth. And biologists have identified and investigated mechanisms that can explain the major patterns of change."
What did Darwin discover on his voyage?
In South America, Darwin found fossils of extinct animals that were similar to modern species. Furthermore, on the Galapagos Islands he noticed many variations of plants and animals that were similar to those he found in South America, suggesting that species adapted over time and to their environment.

K-Pop Music Video Breakdown – T.O.P 'Doom Dada'
By Maisie Duff on	 November 17, 2013 0 Comments
After three years, T.O.P has finally made his comeback with Doom Dada.
Similar to Coup D'etat and Ringa Linga, Doom Dada's concept is slightly darker than we're used to from K-Pop. But again, like Coup D'etat, there's a lot of symbolism and hidden meanings in this MV.
At the very beginning, T.O.P is stood facing away from the camera. He is known as a very mysterious man and by opening a music video like this, he's leaving us intrigued. This is similar to the beginning of Turn It Up, both in black and white and both turned away from the camera.
Doom Dada
Turn it Up
We're then introduced to the apes, who are digging around when they find a giant microphone. The apes then start playing around with it to see what it can do. This is a strong reference to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. This film was described as the 'Big Bang' of it's era due to the realistic special effects. At the start, there are apes who find a bone and start experimenting with it. It's all done to show the evolution of the human race, but in T.O.P's case as it's a microphone, it's showing the evolution of him as a rapper. There's also the Zoe-trope inspired effect of him running with skeletons, and the shots of him leading the evolutionary line to show his evolution.
As well a the film reference, there's also a lot to do with surrealist artist, Salvador Dali. In past interviews T.O.P has made it clear that he's a fan of Dali's work, and has even included it a lot in his MV.
SEE ALSO Rookie Spotlight: Kingdom (킹덤)
First, there's the child. Dali did a painting called Baby Map of the World, and all it is, is a giant baby's head with countries and and axis through it. The painting symbolises that children are the future, and T.O.P is saying youth are the future of rap.
Baby Map of the World
Next, there's T.O.P's upside down mustache, designed in the same way as Dali's.
Then, there's a few links to Dali's quote, "Don't do drugs, I am drugs" which has been shown through the hallucination effects and the girl's dilating pupils.
And lastly, is the atomic explosion. Dali painted The Three Sphinxes of Bikini which was based on the atomic bombs being dropped in Japan at the time. Dali often expressed his horror surrounding the A-bombs, and this was not his only work on the subject.
Along with the Dali references and the evolutionary side of it, there's also the addition of designer furniture. Anyone who knows T.O.P will know he loves to collect designer furniture, and in this music video he's featured furniture from Italian brand Capellini, amongst others.
At first the mv might seem incredibly strange, but when you look into it, it's really well done and the comedy was worked in just right. The music video wasn't serious enough to be like Coup D'etat but it wasn't so crazy that it was like Gangnam Style either.

To all the Welsh commetors and lurkers.
Unfortunately Ford's Welsh plant, are looking at cutting almost 1,200 jobs.
Whether or not Brexit is to blame, I can't say for sure. But it certainly doesn't help the situation.
These days, Brexit is to blame for all economic ills, just like anthropogenic global warming is to blame for everything wrong with the weather and Jeremy Corbyn is to blame for everything wrong with politics.
Well regarding Corbyn, the media are producing a concerted campaign against him. Intimating at every turn, that he's (Corbyn) the problem, and that if he resigned Labour would somehow flourish, in my opinion it wouldn't. Labour are a shambles regardless of whether Corbyn is the leader or not.
So you think man's activities haven't contributed to global warming then? To be honest I've no idea how much Co2 man has and will continue to pump out into the atmosphere, still I doubt the Chinese are happy to have to use a knive to cut through the smog in Beijing, whilst wearing surgical masks.
Nor am I sure how long the Great Barrier reef will survive as the seas becomes more acidic. As man continues to pump PCB's flame retardants and all manner of chemicals into our oceans.
I suppose global warming is just one big hoax..eh?
As for Brexit, especially a hard one how can leaving the worlds biggest trade bloc be a good thing?
I'm no economist but I'm pretty sure British businesses, do a considerable amount of trading across Europe.
If Trump decides (and it looks likely he will) to charge higher tariffs for goods entering the US, whilst practicing American protectionism, it will be damaging to the British economy.
Corbyn, agreed. He's trying hard but up against half his own party. A house divided against itself and all that.
AGW, IMHO a myth that now has many aspects of a religion. If you dig into the "evidence" it is very strong on that fact that the world is getting hotter (or it was, until the millennium, now it's not so clear), but very weak on it being caused by man. There have been periods in the distant past before we had evolved when there was more CO2 in the atmosphere and the world was a warmer place (not necessarily at the same time). The climate has been warmer than now within recorded history (the mediaeval warm period) , but most of the AGW charts start, conveniently at the beginning of the industrial revolution.
Brexit, the main problem with Brexit is that what most people really want is to go back to what we joined, the EEC, i.e. keep the trading bit and ditch the political bit, but the EU would be daft to let us do that.
Trump said in his speech yesterday.
If Trump holds to his word of charging higher tariffs for goods entering the US, then that doesn't bode well for the Brexiteers trade plans.
I doubt Trump would've been enamoured, by the pathetic hand holding ploy between May and Trump.
Much like New Labour by the time of Iraq the Tories have the UK's institutions so cowed that there is no chance of anything coming of this.
Sleeping walking off a cliff more like, meanwhile the Home Office has rejected a French man's application to remain in Britain (Scotland) he's lived and worked here for over 20 years, and is married to a Scot, they now plan to move out of parochial isolationist Britian.
Note: we haven't left yet. This is not, therefore, a consequence of Brexit. Though I wouldn't put it past the nudge unit to deport some nice immigrants now to show the proles how absolutely appalling it would be to have effective controls on immigration after leaving.
And no doubt, we can replace Poles with Ghanaians should push come to shove. The intention is clear.
There is no doubt that the industries which exploit low paid immigrants will continue to do so post Brexit.
This is where Tory economics clashes with Tory rhetoric. As Craig said yesterday unskilled immigration will continue but will be tightly controlled.Think somewhere between the 'sponsorship' system in the USA and Australia and bonded labour in the middle east.
Labour should be arguing that anyone who works full time in the UK deserves to be able to live with dignity, in an acceptable home and be able to raise a family.
> RoS – … meanwhile the Home Office has rejected a French man's application to remain in Britain (Scotland) he's lived and worked here > for over 20 years, and is married to a Scot, they now plan to move out of parochial isolationist Britian.
I was appalled (though not surprised) when I first saw this. On reading further, the chap has just returned from spending **three years** in S Africa. Although often badly written, offensive, and mindlessly stupid, immigration laws, rules, and guidance should be read by those applying.
Thank you John, I wasn't aware he spent that amount of time in SA. I accept your point.
Except that he was not "applying to remain in Britain" which is still his right (and that of two of my sisters in law) until further notice, but for a residency card.
Were there any irregularities in Copeland? Or is it just more fake news and idle speculation?
That is amazing! How did you find it? Totally agree that no one will do anything to change it!
Yougov. Ah, that paragon of absolute accuracy based on about 100 persons of the Tory persuasion, or something relatively similar……And the next, please.
There will come a time when you will have to face up to reality.
Which reality? That of a one-party state?
The reality that Jeremy (and by extension socialism) are massively unpopular with the UK electorate.
That is amazing, I had not known Jeremy was so unpopular.
Well he has been relentlessly 'Faked-Newsed' for more than 12 months now. Hardly surprising the sheep are about ready for shearing. Meanwhile T.May is ripe for canonisation, it would seem. Rofl.
What is your excuse? Do you have one?
Meanwhile Tanveer Ahmed, is fast becoming a hero in Pakistan. Ahmed brutally murdered Assad Shah a Ahmadiyya Muslim in Glasgow.
Crowds have gathered in Pakistan backing Tanveer Ahmed, claiming that he done the correct thing, killing a blasphemer.
Also today in Pakistan, celebrations were held in honour of the man, executed by the state, who murdered a Pakistani politician, who tried to reform the blasphemy laws.
Pakistan in my opinion is a quasi-lawless state, where antiquated religious laws always supersede judicial and civil laws.
less able to earn enough money to buy a property and raise a family.
We have been going backwards.
Time to grasp the tiller and steer our ship away from Europe.
to replace the money the United Kingdom has filched?
Thanks for your comradely Celtic congratulations on Wales' national day, St David's Day on 1st March.
Anyway, once again, diolch o'r galon am y gefnogaeth! Thanks for the Celtic solidarity!

I recently started using Visual Studio 2012 but got quite annoyed after I realized that the F5 shortcut was not building the projects in my solution before actually running them. Because of this, I was ending up with inconsistencies between the running application the source code.
Long story short, here's how to fix this.

Watch Rival Sons' New Video for the Blistering Track "Too Bad"
Plus: an exclusive acoustic performance of "Do Your Worst"
Rival Sons have been playing for packed houses ever since releasing their hard-rocking new album Feral Roots, which is probably why the band felt comfortable recording the video for their blistering track "Too Bad" in an empty venue.
Related: 3 Things You Don't Know About Rival Sons
The song finds the California rockers at the top of their game, perfecting the classic rock, blues-based sound they've been honing for a decade. Guitarist Scott Holiday plays a simple but captivating riff on top of a heavy grove, while vocalist Jay Buchanan reaches a level of primal scream reserved for a select few. There's more than a little Paul Rodgers in his pipes and some Jim Morrison in his look.
Rival Sons went all the way to #1 on the Billboard rock chart with their first single from Feral Roots. The band treated us to an exclusive acoustic performance of "Do Your Worst" earlier this year.

Q: Auto-size controls in .NET CF to avoid horizontal scrolling? I am developing a form in .NET Compact Framework, which hosts a variable number of controls.  Every control should have the same width as the form. When there are only a few controls, no vertical scrollbar appears. When there are more controls than they can fit in one form, a vertical scrollbar appears. The width of the controls should then be modified, so that no horizontal scrollbar appears.
What is the best way to achieve this? I am interested in a solution that will work in all platforms/screen sizes and that can support screen orientation changes.

A: If I get this right, at one point, both a vertical and horizontal scrollbar appear, and you want only the vertical scrollbar? Doesn't setting the Anchor of each control to "Top|Left|Right" solve this problem automatically?

A: If every control is to be the same width as the form, why not just Dock every control to Top (or Bottom)?   It'll take care of the resizing for you then.   It might not look very attractive however, so I suggest adding in some empty Panels (docked the same way) to be used as vertical spacers.

A: I did some quick testing, and it seems, when you add controls, the panel raises the resize event when the added control tiggers the scollbars to go visible. The annoying part is here that the resize event is triggered a couple of times during startup :(
But knowing the compact framework, this might be your best shot at handling this.
Normally on the full framework you could if the DisplayRectangle is bigger than the size of the panel, but no such thing exists on the cf.
Hope this is of some help, I'll see if I can find anything more in the morning.

The 2015 Volkswagen Touareg will be making its debut in the Chinese market this summer, and VW has unveiled a refreshed version of the Touareg at the 2014 Beijing auto show with new front and rear styling and some new technology inside. This updated version of the Volkswagen Touareg will come to the U.S. later this year.
For the powertrain, the previous model is completed with V6 engine 3.0 liter in order to generate 205 horsepower and also 400 Nm of torque. However, there are some gossips said that the car will get the similar engine option as Touareg TDI.
2015 VW Touareg will be supported with four-cylinder engine 3.0 liter in order to generate 245 horsepower. It seems it is not the end of the engine option, there is a big possibility if the car could come with bi-turbo V6 petrol engine 3.0 liter to produce 414 horsepower and the Touareg Hybrid.
For technology, the Touareg is getting a new suite of mobile online services which includes new destination search features that use Google maps, Google earth and Google street view. For safety tech, the Touareg packs a sourround view monitor that uses four cameras, lane assist control, adaptive cruise, dynamic light assist, city emergency brake and side assist warnings.

Scaling 101: How to Grow Your Team Without Losing Your Culture
Event Overview: Building a startup can feel like running a never-ending marathon... The pressure to hit quarterly numbers. The race to hire the best before the competition gets them. The last-minute fixes that inevitably lead to more last-minute fixes. With so many balls in the air, it's tough to step back and look at the organization.
But to grow sustainably, startups need to create structure for their people - or bad things happen. New hires get frustrated and leave before they ramp up. Teams grow organically, only to find later that their star players are overworked and on the verge of burnout.
Together with our partners at For the Win, we'll bring together experts in HR, design, technology, and recruiting to discuss what happens after the offer letter. How do we pass on the culture once we're too big for the founders to be hands-on with every new hire?
What You'll Take Away: During this panel discussion, we'll discuss the different ways to build structures that support your team as you scale.
1) Taking onboarding beyond the basics - What goes into a new hire experience? - How can we go beyond compliance to instill a sense of culture, clarify expectations, and build a supportive community around new hires?
2) Preserving values over time: - How can we better articulate our values as we bring in lots of new people with diverse perspectives? - How do we decide what to change, and what to keep?
Why It Matters: Scaling is hard, and the war for talent is only getting worse. According to Gallup, 51% of employees say they're actively looking or watching for openings, and 35% report changing jobs in the past 3 years. And turnover is expensive, too: estimates go as high as 200% of annual salary, per the Center for American Progress.
To scale effectively, startups need to attract great people and keep them. That starts with having a clear sense of their values and a culture that gets better, not worse, as they grow.

Oxford and AstraZeneca resume coronavirus vaccine trial
Written by Lynkuptaxi Team	Posted on September 12, 2020 September 12, 2020 Less than 0 min read
Oxford university and AstraZeneca are to resume the international clinical trial of their proposed coronavirus vaccine candidate. Speculation that there might be a significant delay in the much-watched study turns out to have been unjustified.
The trial was paused last Sunday when a participant fell ill in the UK, the university said this afternoon, though news that it had been put on hold did not leak out till Wednesday.
A rapid review by the trial's independent safety review committee and national regulators has now concluded that it is safe to resume inoculating new participants. All follow-up appointments with people already vaccinated continued as normal during the week's pause, the university said.
Altogether 18,000 individuals have received the AZD1222 vaccine as part of the trial, which is taking place in the UK, US, South Africa and Brazil. "In large trials such as this, it is expected that some participants will become unwell and every case must be carefully evaluated to ensure careful assessment of safety," Oxford said in a statement.
Several people associated with the trial said the condition that led the trial to be paused was a suspected case of transverse myelitis, an inflammation of the spinal cord that has a known, but very rare, association with vaccination.
Oxford and AstraZeneca on Saturday refused to disclose any medical information "for reasons of participant confidentiality".
"All trial investigators and participants will be updated with the relevant information and this will be disclosed on global clinical registries, according to the clinical trial and regulatory standards," said AstraZeneca's statement.
On Thursday the company's chief executive Pascal Soriot said a vaccine "by the end of this year, early next year" was still possible if the trial resumed quickly — as indeed it has.
"I still think we are on track for having a set of data we would submit before the end of the year and then it depends how fast regulators will review it and give approval," he said.
Altogether Oxford and AstraZeneca expect to enrol up to 50,000 participants globally in phase 3 trials of AZD1222. In addition to the UK, US, Brazil and South Africa, the testing will extend to Japan and Russia.
Although results — showing the vaccine's safety and efficacy — are anticipated later this year, the timing will depend on the rate of infection within the clinical trial populations. The worse the pandemic becomes, the sooner statistically significant findings will be available.
"In developing any new drug, safety is of paramount importance," said Professor Fiona Watt, executive chair of the UK Medical Research Council. "It is therefore very reassuring to hear that trials of the Oxford coronavirus vaccine will resume following review by an independent safety committee and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency."
This is the second time the Oxford-AstraZeneca trial has been put on hold and people associated with the study expect further pauses before it finishes. "We are committed to the safety of our participants and the highest standards of conduct in our studies and will continue to monitor safety closely," said Oxford.
Separately, another leading coronavirus vaccine partnership — between Pfizer of the US and BioNTech of Germany — announced on Saturday that it would expand enrolment of its inter-nation clinical trial to 44,000 participants. The initial target of 30,000 people would be reached next week, it added.

Comments to: Oxford and AstraZeneca resume coronavirus vaccine trial


Feeling free to be who you truly are.
Sometimes Happiness is nothing more than feeling free to be who you truly are. Being free of worry and fear of judgment by others. Being myself with no regards to what others may think allows me to enjoy my day. Seems also when I allow my true self to appear I don't seem as critical or cynical of myself or others. Such a weight lifted on the days I let my true self come out to play.
This world and modern society puts way too much restriction on how we must behave and be to belong or fit in. This puts such a burden on the backs of those whom are not the norm and even on those that conform.
Be yourself and not that what others expect or want you to be. To pretend to be whom you are not for the sake of conformity is but a dark and dreary way to exist. The Love and happiness within you multiplies exponentially when you live as the person who you truly are.
Be true to yourself and cherish each moment of every day.

Cataloging The Good Life: Polo Ralph Lauren, Spring 1977
Last week we posted that neo-prep is back at Ralph Lauren. Today we journey back 40 years ago, when the brand was first beginning to stage lavish fantasy shoots done on location. These would reach their apex in the mid to late '80s with, for example, 20-page ad narrative spreads in magazines such as Architectural Digest.
The spring '77 catalog has few Ivy elements, being more focused on RL's Old Hollywood and English Gentleman inspiration sources. And while many of the images will be familiar, according to frequent comment-leaver "GS," who provided the scans, they have not appeared anywhere on the Internet all together. Stay tuned for more in the future. — CC

I miss my Jeep.
Paul | March 20, 2018 at 2:39 pm |
I was never chauffered around in mine while wearing an off-white dinner jacket, smoking a cigar, but I miss mine too.
And that image is hardly even the most (entertainingly) ridiculous one in this collection: they're all brilliant, but Ralph himself on the beach shirtless – save for a down vest – takes the cake.
The captions, by the way, are (intentionally or otherwise) quite apropos to the recent 'Fake It 'Til You Make It' post.
Mitchell S. | March 20, 2018 at 2:47 pm |
Amazing how everything seemed wider in the 70s: lapels, pant cuffs, ties, and trouser bottoms. Thankfully, no bell-bottom pants, loud plaids, or double-knit polyester leisure suits.
Flo | March 20, 2018 at 2:53 pm |
Someone's put together a seemingly-endless RL ads diversion, scroll horizontally:
http://oldralphlaurenadverts.tumblr.com/
Lexium | March 20, 2018 at 3:26 pm |
Flo,
All those ads served to remind me why I have never once been tempted to resort buying or wearing anything but authentic Ivy. How fortunate for us that the basic Ivy items are still available.
Thrifty Trad | March 20, 2018 at 4:08 pm |
@Lexium
Hear! Hear!
A couple of blue OCBDs, a couple of white ones, chinos, gray flannel slacks, some repp ties, a herringbone jacket, a navy blazer,and a pair of Weejuns and one can imagine oneself back in the Heyday. Who needs Ralph Lauren's exaggerated fantasies?
whiskeydent | March 20, 2018 at 4:24 pm |
In the next to last image, the idle rich head to the board meeting where they will complain about their trust fund investments.
M Arthur | March 20, 2018 at 4:43 pm |
The model walking the horse was everywhere in the seventy's and early eighties. He was perfect for RL's profile and most every other designer. He looked the part!
Charlottesville | March 20, 2018 at 5:52 pm |
I had forgotten how wide everything was then, as Mitchell S. has noted above. I was on more of an LL Bean budget in 1977, but I had a few Polo items. I think the mid 80s were the best period for Polo. My work clothes came almost exclusively from Brooks Brothers at that time, but I liked to shop at Polo too. And whether you think it is exaggerated, wannabe styling or not, I would still love to have one of those late 80s or 90s camel hair polo coats with the mile-wide lapels.
Benjamin | March 20, 2018 at 5:59 pm |
Wide leg trousers only look good for those whose waistlines measure under 30 inches. Everyone else just looks unflattered.
Carmelo | March 20, 2018 at 7:23 pm |
Ralph Lauren aesthetics is pre-Ivy heyday,In his world 30s and early 40s American high society is never ending.
Fortingale | March 21, 2018 at 2:43 am |
@Lexium & Thrifty Trad:
As a born and bred New Englander, Ivy style has always meant simplicity and minimalism for me. I too am pleased that there are so many authentic offerings available from Brooks, Press, O'Connell's, The Andover Shop, and other purveyors, that I feel no temptation to consider Ralph Lauren's offerings.
I, commenter | March 21, 2018 at 8:01 am |
I always found something 'odd' or 'off' about RL – the ads in particular. it was always just a little too over the top and not worn right.. kind of like how Europeans keep their barbour jackets clean and pressed…. but a couple of times I have bought RL because they hit the mark.. I will (admittedly, begrudgingly) say that the quality is always outstanding.
Mitate | March 21, 2018 at 11:01 am |
This European has tried to clean and and press his waxed Barbour jacket, but found that the wax makes a terrible mess of his wife's cherished clothes iron. But you know how prissy we Europeans are. And before slings and arrows begin raining down on me, I'm only kidding.
Trevor Jones | March 21, 2018 at 11:44 am |
Looking at these early ads it's easy to see why Polo took off into the megabrand it did. It's easy to look back and see how well they marketed the dream life for those living the normal life at a time when those living the lifestyle depicted by RL could only do so because they came from the right family. Lauren puts it out there for anyone to have and says "You can live (or, more aptly, pretend to live) like these people too." If you can sell the image, the idea, the product sells itself…and he did that brilliantly.
Jordan Mitchell | March 21, 2018 at 1:02 pm |
Trevor Jones,
But those people in the ads were models,not real people.
Who would want to imitate imitations?
Miles Coverdale | March 21, 2018 at 1:30 pm |
I'll go one further than Fortingale. Among the heuristics that guide my judgment when someone is attempting to make a "first impression" upon me is an automatic demerit for any display of that awful, fatuous Polo logo. Its appearance isn't dispositive, but it weighs heavily. Call me superficial, but I believe one's exterior is a relatively trustworthy indication of his interior.
Trevor Jones | March 21, 2018 at 1:36 pm |
The point I was going for had less to do with the specifics. Like I said, he's selling an idea, not necessarily the real thing. To the people the idea is being sold to, it doesn't really matter if the madras on the patchwork shirt they are wearing is as authentic as a heyday one from, say, Brooks just as it doesn't matter whether the people being depicted actually live that life or not. Rather, it's the idea on a larger scale moreso than the nuts and bolts.
Old School Tie | March 21, 2018 at 2:20 pm |
Because Yanks are the true guardians of all that is Barbour. In my part of Europe – England – the home of the Barbour, I see no evidence of the accusations levelled by I, commenter. I demand, sir, that you qualify the term 'European'….
@TrevorJones "Lauren puts it out there for anyone to have and says 'You can live (or, more aptly, pretend to live) like these people too'."
Perfectly said, sir. The man himself [who based his entire empire on a false name "pretending" to be someone other than himself] launched the greatest quality lifestyle marketing scheme of any generation. Ever.
There's not been a marketing master to capture our longings, our times, the underlying psychology of his target customer, the perfect price points across his entire product line, the high quality of the goods, the sumptuousness of his global bricks & mortar investments, all the while minding our ever-shifting demographics… better than Ralph Lipschitz.
I, commenter | March 24, 2018 at 1:33 pm |
" I demand, sir, that you qualify the term 'European'…"
"the continent' in the colloquial sense. English have always had a sense of being of, but not part of, "Europe"
@Mitate – Europeans wear barbours like fashion items they don't want to damage… that's the point.
Richard | March 31, 2018 at 12:32 am |
The paragraph length copy in image #6 is interesting. Openly referencing "Ivy League" and claiming to be the new standard. Bold.
Doug | April 3, 2018 at 1:22 pm |
How did those four gents fit in that tiny helicopter?
Michael Brady | April 4, 2018 at 3:39 pm |
One of the occasional posters here worked at that store in Cleveland…Knickerbockers. Jim (the poster) and Harvey were the staff and did a fabulous job with merchandising and selling. Alas, like almost every store of it's ilk, it is no more.
GMH | April 16, 2018 at 9:57 am |
No photo resemblance of a Kennedy flipping his Jeep and leaving a girl permanently injured?
elder prep | April 12, 2019 at 8:02 am |
I preferred the 1980's winter Polo clothing with its British influence. What's shown above does appear to be superficial.

Q: List/Library item full Url in Powershell I have a script going through all Web.Lists and List.Items in given site collection. On one point i want to have a full link to the item that is being processed. I'm doing it this way:
$ItemURL = $List.ParentWeb.Url + "/" + $List.RootFolder.Url + "/dispform.aspx?id=" + $Item.Id

It works on all lists, but not on libraries due to lacking /Forms/ after library name. Any idea how can i modify it to work also on libraries? Adding "/Forms/" strictly to the line of code will break link for lists.

A: You can check for base type of the list type and handle it accordingly. If the base type is "DocumentLibrary" the you can have item url adding "Forms/" and else will be your list item url like below
if($List.BaseTemplate -eq "DocumentLibrary"){
 $ItemURL = $List.ParentWeb.Url + "/" + $List.RootFolder.Url + "/Forms/dispform.aspx?id=" + $Item.Id
}else{
 $ItemURL = $List.ParentWeb.Url + "/" + $List.RootFolder.Url + "/dispform.aspx?id=" + $Item.Id
}

Hope it helps you.

A: Try with List TemplateID
https://fcsharepoint.com/2015/08/19/sharepoint-2013-base-types-list-template-and-definition-ids-and-content-types-ids/
   if($List.TemplateID -eq "101"){
    $ItemURL = $List.ParentWeb.Url + "/" + $List.RootFolder.Url + "/Forms/dispform.aspx?id=" + $Item.Id
    }
    else{
    $ItemURL = $List.ParentWeb.Url + "/" + $List.RootFolder.Url + "/dispform.aspx?id=" + $Item.Id
    }

A: You should use the SPList.DefaultDisplayFormUr instead of assuming that it's /(Forms/)?displayform.aspx

Q: An example of Hamiltonian which fails with canonical quantization The Groenewold's theorem states that canonical quantization, regarded as a rule to replace $\{A,B\}$ by $\frac{1}{i\hbar}[A,B]$ is inconsistent for some 3rd order polynomials of canonical variables $p$ and $x$. However, all single-particle Hamiltonian systems that I've ever seen had the form
$$H=\frac{p^2}{2m}+V(x)$$
and don't suffer from all this ordering ambiguities that Groenewold's theorem is about (because $p$ and $x$ are not multiplied). So, my question is: what are some concrete examples of classical mechanical systems that cannot be unambiguously quantized via canonical quantization due to the restrictions of Groenewold's theorem?

The police visit Caebrwyn
(See also later post, 24th August Challenging the police harassment warning)
After four and half months I had a visit from two Dyfed Powys Police CID officers today. I was not arrested nor spoken to under caution. The investigation into perverting the course of justice has been dropped as the evidential test was not met. I am not surprised. As I suspected, this criminal complaint, which was also made by Carmarthenshire Council chief executive Mr James, related to the libel judgement of High Court judge, Justice Tugendhat in March 2013.
The judge, in 2013, made this finding on a balance of probabilities, and in a civil court. That 'balance' was not based on any factual evidence whatsoever and was made simply on the whim of the judge as to who he decided to believe. It was this finding, a total miscarriage of justice, which led to the withdrawal of my legal insurance.
There is further comment, an extract from my closing statement in 2013, on the sidebar of this blog.
I now feel completely vindicated.
In March 2013 a local paper asked the police if they were investigating me for this alleged offence following the judgement, the police said "they were not aware of having to do anything around this".
Clearly, at some point since April 2016, over three years later, the chief executive decided that they did.
As for the complaint of harassment, I was issued with a Police warning notice. This was for alleged harassment of the chief executive, entirely in respect of this blog. It is utter nonsense. The alleged harassment appears to refer, in the main, to my reference to the unlawful payments scandal and wider comment and opinion. This is not harassment.
The warning takes effect from today (18th August 3.15pm).
As this is not a legal notice nor a caution, there is no direct way to appeal it, or defend myself, however, I told the police that I did not accept the allegations, nor agree to any part of their 'warning'.
It will be business as usual.
Its scandalous that it has come to this.
Be cautious about a harassment warning. it could be used by the Police to prove a course of conduct in the future.
Ref your financial predicament - I don't know much about this but have you considered crowd funding. It wouldn't just be a local thing would it. I remember the trial and there was a lot of interest on Twitter and of course in the national press.
Personally I think there is going to be an attempt to bankrupt you to prevent you standing for the council.
I think we all knew this was a malicious accusation with the police struggling to find a case to answer.
The warning for harassment is just a way of trying to save face. They along with the council do not come out of this with any credibility. Perhaps the cicilian cartel isn't quite as powerful as it believes it is after all.
That old chestnut!
You should be receiving an apology, same as Tricia got EVENTUALLY (although only from the fuzz who were probably just guilty of having their strings pulled again - you think they'd be wise to it now FFS).
https://westwalesnewsreview.wordpress.com/2015/10/12/trishas-torment-when-turning-a-blind-eye-lets-abuse-escalate/
Given the chief executive's legal qualifications and the fact that he is backed up by the council's inhouse legal team (Motto: "Cavalier at best, incompetent at worst"), plus the possibility that his own private lawyers were involved in this (if he chose to dip into his own pocket for once), collectively they must have known that the perverting the course of justice accusation would not fly. But with the taxpayer there to pick up the costs - again - there was no risk to Mr James in a strategy which seems to boil down to "let's throw everything at her, and perhaps something will stick".
A cynical waste of police time and resources which is inexcusable when you consider the legal expertise he has access to.
Good for you Jacqui - keep fighting and don't let the ******* grind you down. As for the crowd funding suggestion, I would certainly contribute.
caebrwyn said...
Yes Cneifiwr, this was a horrendous waste of public money, for the police and the council, and a waste of police time, over four months of it.
I will explore ways of challenging the police warning notice next week. It is not a criminal record but is kept on police file for 14 months. Aside from that, and as I said in my post, it is utter nonsense. It appears to me to be a very poor attempt at a civil injunction, with no legal basis, delivered under the guise of a criminal matter.
Thanks also for the crowd funding suggestion, as before, the thought is very much appreciated but it's far too much money and I am not comfortable with it, there are far more deserving causes than this!
The situation is simple, nobody's getting any money because I haven't got it.
For information on harassment warnings and challenging them see http://crimebodge.com/harassment-warnings-how-to-challenge-them/
Four and a half months? If the police were acting within the time frame usually employed by CCC it would be considerably longer,unless of course the Council was chasing anybody that might dare to criticise them then speed would be of the essence! A public enquiry into the workings of this Council is long overdue if only the Welsh Government had the desire to bring to an end to the executive led Council and it.s flagrant policy of cronyism . "Keep the public in the dark like mushrooms and fed them plenty of s---".
Welsh Government? Far from it as this and other cases prove. Just another costly non job centre that serves itself. The costly Circumlocution Office of Committees. How about a Referendum on the Assembly?
I agree with a referendum on keeping the Assembly. A petition could be started. It was one of the worst decisions ever. It serves itself and cares not about abuses of the system in Wales even when Ministers are shown clear and unambiguous evidence of extremely serious misconduct in public office. Such abuses can destroy innocent people lives, and there are many examples of this, which certain Ministers are fully aware of and continue to turn a blind eye to.There is a lot to be ashamed of in Cardiff.
Anon 19:06 gave the http://crimebodge.com/harassment-warnings-how-to-challenge-them/ I found it very interesting. Actually the way you were given this PIN causes me to believe the police are supporting the CCC to act against your Human Rights. You have a right to free speech & expression and as others have mentioned your comments/blogs are political. These people whether CCC officers or members should accept the public's right to criticise them. They have been in their positions for years and believe they have become too powerful with too many "friends" to have to put up with dissent and criticism. Time the Welsh Assembly Government got off it's **** and acted to rein in and discipline this wayward Local Authority.
Another thing public bodies are by law supposed to follow the principles of the HRA including the police.
Using the police as an instrument of suppressing dissent is a blatant abuse of power. We know that those in the Kremlin on the Hill have no shame or scruples,but you'd think that after the #daftarrest incident,the police would want nothing to do with this campaign of intimidation.
Ken Haylock said...
I'd say him making false allegations to the police about you to prevent you exercising your right to free speech is him harrassing you at the very least. I suggest a counter complaint of harrassment against him, along with an FoI to ensure that he has in fact been issued with a mirror image 'harrassment' letter. Trying to silence a blogger by making false allegations to the police is a pretty cut & dried example of deliberate harrassment. I'm actually surprised there's not enough evidence to support an allegation against Mr James of wasting police time... it would be great to see the details of the original complaint... I wonder what the police would do if they received an allegation about somebody wasting police time from a member of the police precept paying public outraged that their contribution was apparently being wasted by a so called public servant in pursuit of what could be construed by an observer to be a personal vendetta?
What is the criminal sanction for harrassment? Does anyone know the maximum and minimum sanctions?
Anon 9.37 I totally agree with your comments. Our lives in our case have been ruined since the creation of this faux institution. It seems that it causes more trouble than the worth and nobody down there in the Bay of Flying Pigs gives a jot about people let alone their rights. Anyone setting up a petition for a Referendum would be most welcome. People are sick of it all. Like the EU it has had its chance and it has blown it. Worst thing to happen and all under the guise of a load of bluff and bluster. Just another gravy train IMO. Very unpopular and totally out of touch.The Emperors clearly have no clothes.
Jennifer you are right. The local council have a statutory duty to encompass the Human Rights Act in their decision making. Ministers in Cardiff are fully aware that our lives have been destroyed due to the serious failures of CCC in totally ignoring them and allowing highly questionable planning decisions which have had a disastrous affect upon our home and our lives. Unforgivable. A lot to expose here.
The police too need to follow HRA & police fairly & without bias. Here we cannot say that this is how they are handling the situation concerning Jacqui who has only been making political commentary on our very clandestine toxic Council.

About Genny
The Genny brand was first launched in 1962 by Arnaldo and Donatella Girombelli. The collection soon gained acclaim and popularity among women, claiming its place among the top names in Italian fashion, also on account of the stylistic contribution of famous designers such as Gianni Versace, who became the Creative Director at Genny in 1973.
The brand has belonged to Swinger International Group of Verona since 2011, which has chosen a new direction for Genny's original style, focusing on aesthetics that feature flowing lines and a more feminine mood, achieved through painstaking attention to features and details. This makes for collections that combine classic elements and modern textures, the interplay of prints and transparencies, resulting in prêt à porter collections that are undoubtedly chic but remember to cater for the needs of contemporary women.
All with the guarantee of Made in Italy.
This transformation was made possible by Sara Cavazza Facchini, Artistic Director of the Maison since 2013, who has skilfully blended its heritage with a sense of timeless elegance, a genuine air of femininity and a contemporary mood achieved through the details.
With the added factor of conscientious sustainability, translating into the sustainable quality of the collections designed by Genny, and also embracing social responsibility for its employees and safeguarding the low impact of its products on the environment (responsible luxury).
Specialised press, fashion bloggers and customers have welcomed this new direction of Genny with renewed enthusiasm, whose intention for the future is to consolidate its style, expand its presence in key markets, and export the concept of Italian style at international level.
Sara Cavazza Facchini
Genny's Art Director
Her story is the product of the coexistence of various cultures and opposing geographical locations: intimately cosmopolitan, intensely curious and passionate for novelties and new currents, sensitive to cultural diversity, she was drawn to travel around the world and to deeply explore any context she found herself in.
In 2011 Swinger acquired Genny, a historic pret-à-porter brand, with the aim of helping the maison to regain some of the prestige that had made it famous around the world for its style and tailored cuts. Sara Cavazza Facchini was in charge of the special projects for the brand, such as licenses, as well as restyling retail and advertising.
In June 2013 she was appointed creative director of Genny.
A visionary who is full of interests, Sara Facchini loves beauty in every form, she is a woman of great talent, strongly dedicated to her work, an entrepreneur but most of all a mother, she incarnates ingenuity and depth. Her spirit is contagious and her warmth is beguiling. Her deep-rooted drive and vision make her a woman for all women: but a mother and wife, to begin with. And a creative entrepreneur to follow.

This is a real value holder. Love the useless air-scoop! 2- The Sport-TRD Model is a great highway vehicle and works hard on our farm too. Does not have all the rock-hopper extras, for that you need the TRD Off-road version it has no scoop.

It seems to have enough power. (tested in the Rocky Mountains) I got 4WD because I take it snowboarding. I also wanted the SR5 pkg. It just looks nicer with the chrome bumper & grille, and also the color matched fenders. I like outdoor activities and my Tacoma is perfect for that. The bed rail system is awesome! There are limitless possibilities for loading your gear in the back with it. Overall, my Tacoma has met and exceeded my expectations. I think everyone should have one.

Ikuru Kuwajima: «Russia is possible to comprehend, but to a point»
11:49 08.09.2020 • Elena Rubinova
"Mari El", photo (2015)
Ikuru Kuwajima is a photographer, artist, writer and translator from Japan. In the past eleven years, he has been living and working in Eastern Europe and various post-Soviet countries including Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan. Currently based in Moscow, he continues with his personal art and documentary projects and is actively involved in the contemporary Russian art scene. Despite being quite young, he has received several prestigious international photography prizes and his work has been published in such prominent media resources as Newsweek Japan, National Geographic, Forbes, Daily Telegraph, Le Monde among others. "I, Oblomov" (2017), a series of self-portraits in typically Russian settings, is one of the most renowned projects he conceived living in Russia. Many of the projects investigate such themes as migration, historical legacy and memory, national and cultural identity. Over the last few years, he has had several solo shows and participated in group exhibitions including the 2d Garage Triennial of Contemporary Art which opens in Moscow in mid-September. Even this year, unfavourable for travelling, Ikuru managed to hold a masterclass in Udmurtia before the pandemic and is now working on the exposition based on the materials of this art residence. Elena Rubinova discussed with the artist his Japanese roots and attitude towards Russia, his ideas of cultural identity, local and global aspects in contemporary art, and, of course, why one of his most successful photo projects is dedicated to the main character of Goncharov's novel.
Ikuru Kuwajima
I guess, any of our readers would like to know why your career as an artist and photographer evolved in Russia. After all, you studied photojournalism in America and could choose any place for your future life and work?
To be honest, I did not make a decision to move to Russia overnight. I would rather say that it worked out gradually and, of course, was a combination of various factors. I first moved to Eastern Europe in 2007, after my university years in Missouri where I studied journalism. Back then I was not sure that I wanted to go back to Japan, but would rather try out another path.
In the beginning, America was interesting and offered some freedom that I couldn't have in Japan - which is famous for its strict and over-regulated society. After the university one of my fellow students invited me to his native Romania - at that time I already worked as a photojournalist and translator from Japanese to English. After a year in Romania, my choice was to be closer to Russian-speaking countries. So, I lived and worked in Ukraine, then in Central Asia - Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan - and only then in Kazan. I was lucky to be able to improve my language skills in all these countries. I started as a photojournalist, did some commercial photography, but at some point, I realized that it was not my way. Photojournalism is very demanding in terms of following the demand for simplified "newsworthiness", which tends to consolidate resources for only certain issues while overlooking others. I gradually switched to documentary photography and pursued my personal art projects.
As far as I understand you have, at least, four professional roles - a photographer, artist, journalist and translator. What role do you value more? How do you manage to combine them?
Not sure I can come up with a definite answer, it changes so often. I'm trying to do what interests me most at this stage, so, I guess, it will be fair to say that everything exists in parallel - sometimes it's normal to be an artist, sometimes a photographer, and all the time I live in a multilingual environment. My first language is Japanese, but nowadays, I also translate from Russian into Japanese. However, most of my texts about Japan I write in English.
"Eurasia", photo series (2012)
Would you agree that the very notion of cultural identity has transformed in the modern world?
It goes without saying that technologies played a crucial role in this process. I myself have been living with this for a long time, and who knows, if it were not for the technology and the possibility of remote work, then most likely I would not be able to implement my projects, living in different countries and cultures. Or I would have left long ago. But apart from technology, the cultural and mental code of the country where you work and live has to appeal to you in a certain sense. Especially if you live in a place for long time. The idea of a mental code is best expressed by the English word "mindset". Strange as it may seem, Russian mindset somehow appeals to me in many aspects, somehow more than American or even Japanese. Japan is known for a very rigid collective mentality, it is difficult to find your individual voice there, and the society in America is too individualistic for me. In this sense, Russia, like many East European countries, is somewhere in the middle. And it turned out to be decisive.
Has your perception of Russia changed over the years? It often happens that from a distance, certain things are perceived in one way, but when you look up closer…
In my case it was the other way round - my experience in Russia is a lot better than my expectations. Before coming here, my ideas of this country were fuelled by different information from the media which is heavily influenced by stereotypes, including negative ones. Ten years ago, when I was still living in Ukraine and Central Asia, Russia had a peak of racist-instigated crimes, predominantly on a street level. People from different post-Soviet countries who went to Russia to earn money often warned me as an Asian that it was dangerous. At first, I was a little cautious, but then decided to try. By the time I came to Russia, I was much better adapted. In Central Asia, too, there were some difficulties, but in Russia, on the contrary, things were better.
"Tundra Kids" (2015)
Japan is known for its genuine love of Russian literature. What do you personally cherish most in Russian culture?
In fact, I can't say that I was well informed about Russia and its culture in advance, let alone prepared for my arrival. In my youth, I was even more into German literature. Of course, like many people across the globe, I was familiar with Dostoevsky's and Tolstoy's oeuvres, but only later I discovered Goncharov, Platonov, Pelevin and some other modern authors. Now I read a lot in Russian. For me the discovery of Russia went in parallel - through literature and live communication.
"I, Oblomov" (2017)
One of your most famous projects "I, Oblomov" (2017) is based on a piece of literature known to every schoolboy in Russia. When did you first read the novel? What's so appealing about the main character?
I must admit that I read the novel not so long ago – in 2014 or around that time, and did it in Russian. My colleague, a photographer Feodor Telkov recommended me to read it in order to understand the phenomenon of the "Russian soul". Sure, the translation into Japanese has existed for a long time. A famous Japanese author Shimei Futabatei, who is considered the founder of modern Japanese literature, translated part of the novel in the late 19th century. By the way, a fabulous story is connected with this novel. Oblomov became the prototype of the very first modernist narrative in Japanese literature. Before that time, a flow of consciousness, or and even an inner monologue did not exist in our literature as a technique. It took me over two years to finish the project. The shooting took place in different places, mostly where I had already been or lived - Kazan, Mari El, Samara, Moscow. For me, the figure of Oblomov is a metaphor of Russia, the country that swings between the East and the West. And still exists in that mode.
Photobook "I, Oblomov" (2017)
How was the project received in Japan?
In Japan, by the way, the project was well-received. In our fairy tales and legends, we have epic heroes whose archetype reminds of Oblomov. But in America, the project did not "go". My guess apparently, it is not close to the Anglo-Saxon mentality and culture.
Many of your projects you've shot in the remote areas and sometimes stayed with the local families, for instance in the Yamal-Nenets Region, in the Mari El Republic. What has it added to your understanding of Russia and its culture?
If we look at these peoples from the point of view of ethnography, it's fair enough to say that they are understudied and underrepresented, so, of course, as a photographer I was interested in doing it. At the same time, I try to remove a colonial discourse from my work and look at the modern life of these peoples. In other words, not to experience reindeer riding, but to see how their culture is changing. And maybe because I am also from Asia, the past of these peoples in a sense is even closer to me than America or Europe. Nature, the atmosphere in the villages, and even the climate of Mari El and Udmurtia reminds me of some provinces of Japan. This year I managed to take part in the art-residency, which was held in the Udmurt village of Sep. I very much appreciate this initiative, which is commonly called "socially engaged art". In this format, communication is art. The process itself, the participation of local residents and communication with them are important. I conducted master classes there and additionally did my own research project, which is related to the generic signs of the Udmurts. I hope that I will finish it by the end of this year.
"Repartiatsia". Installation, video, photo (2019)
The issue of cultural memory is pivotal for your other project "Repatriation", isn't it? How has it all come about?
The exhibition was held in the spring of 2019 in the Peresvetov Pereulok gallery, and last year this multimedia installation was shown in Krasnoyarsk. It all started off with one fact that I was very interested in. I heard that the shores of Iceland often get trees that drift from Russia. Then I found a scientific article based on studies of the origin of wood thrown out by the ocean in Iceland, originally brought from the banks of the Yenisei River. In the middle of the 20th century, the amount of this wood has greatly increased. According to some researchers, this spike was associated with an increase in logging production in Siberia in the middle of the 20th century - and this coincides with the mass involvement of prisoners who toiled in the timber industry and labour camps. The project consisted of different elements - photos, videos, texts, snags that I collected in Iceland – in this way I've recreated this long drift. The portraits of the GULAG prisoners were printed on tree saws. So this project is about nature and people.
"Repartiatsia"(2019) The portraits printed on tree saws.
What exhibitions are on your list in the near future?
In September I will participate in the 2nd Garage Triennial of Contemporary Art with my photo project "Trail". I did this series back in 2013, when I lived in Central Asia. The project is black-and-white photos of a path going for hundred kilometres on the Afghan side of the Pamir mountains. If you are travelling on the Tadjik side you can see this endless route that generations of Afghans used travelling on foot, donkeys, from village to village, from century to century. In our days the path looks as if time is frozen. Especially in winter when I shot it.
A fragment from "Trail" photo series (2013)
What is the role of cultural diplomacy in our days?
In our time of the Internet, despite the availability of communication in social networks, there are various conflicts and problems - many people cannot cope with such a flow. That is why the role of live communication between people only increases.

Eliminates restrictions, dramatically increasing the cooling capacity for massive continuous power. Big aluminum end tanks won't burst like stock, with a thicker core for a 21% improvement in volume. Includes mandrel-bent 3.5 inch high-flow boost tubes and super-flow High-Ram intake manifold for maximum performance.
Please note: 2005 Excursion owners must identify which manifold they have.
Superior to stock, everything about Banks Techni-Cooler Intercooler system is bigger. It includes mandrel-bent 3.5" high-flow boost tubes... large high-efficiency all-aluminum end tanks instead of the wimpy stock plastic ones that can rupture under high-boost conditions... a wide-open inlet and outlet... a 19% thicker core area with a 21% improvement in volume ... and a colossal super-flow High-Ram intake manifold .
Techni-Cooler dramatically increases the cooling capacity by balancing the richer fuel mixture with greater airflow and cooler, denser air. Denser air has more oxygen, which improves combustion as well as engine efficiency. Result: higher continuous power and more power at any exhaust gas temp (EGT), better fuel economy and lower EGTs. That's a truckload of benefits! Banks Techni-Cooler delivers the maximum reduction in boost air temperature with a minimal loss of boost pressure. It doesn't get any cooler than Techni-Cooler! Mounting hardware included.


April 2017 ~ A one stop solution for A to Z of events!
Spring is here and I am loving it.
Easter is all about new life. It's about remembering the importance of fresh starts and cherishing the season. I never understand how they decide on the date for Easter, but this year it is on April 16.
If you're entertaining this Easter and want to dress up your home, there are many simple Easter crafts that will impress your guests.
I hope you enjoy these ideas that I've pulled together to inspire you for Easter or springtime in general.
This idea is so cool. It's just like giving eggs their very own tattoos!Instead of dying Easter eggs, get crafty with acrylic paint!
This year, make your Easter tree sparkle with hand-painted ornaments in a variety of bright Easter colors. Painted and glittered Easter eggs--so pretty, and can be used year after year.
Light up your Easter table with Easter Crate Candles! Place in individual egg cups or the Bunny 5-Section Egg Holder for a great decor .Instead of hard boiling your eggs, decorating them, then tossing them in the trash in a few weeks, why not use up the contents (I'm thinking a big ol' batch of french toast!?) and then use the shells as molds for brightly colored candles? It's a win-win!
Holiday decorating starts at your front door. This season's Easter wreaths are all about embracing new textures and materials; you'll see Easter wreaths made out materials like grass, birch, burlap, artificial Easter eggs, ribbon strands, boxwood, and more. These wreaths really pack a visual punch! Hang one on your front door and you'll see—even standing from a distance you'll notice this season's Easter wreaths rich textures!


Dedicated to the Tour of Flanders we introduce you a special cycling sock. In our eyes the most beautiful cycling race of the year! The history, the length, the cobblestone strips and all the spectators, it is one big feast. Sunday 7 April it is time again for Flanders' most beautiful race!

Hey, you made it! I can't tell you how happy that makes me…that you've dropped in for a visit, and will hopefully come again. This is a place where I can share ideas, pictures, our successes and attempts at such. A place for friends to be together, while we all travel on that strange road called life. If you subscribe, I'll send you a weekly update on what I've been up to, and maybe pass along some ideas you can use. I hope you'll do the same…join me!
Oysters, biscuits, fried chicken and gin...let's talk Charleston!
You could ask a gazillion different people what their ideal home would look like, and you'd mostly likely get a gazillion different answers. And making it look that way is a project….a lifelong project. Does it go here or there?. Paint it this color or that color? I look around me right now and see a dozen things in one room alone that I'd change if I could. But I have some ideas you might find of interest. #HomePerfection, no. #HomeLove, yes.


Lately I've been asking myself what makes me happy; I'm not convinced I've found the answer yet. It's essentially an existential crisis around the idea of success and achievement. Cheerful stuff, right?
Personally I believe that I was subconsciously pursuing two contradictory objectives – blending in, and living in an international bubble –, all the while maintaining my JEF engagement outside Paris. Maybe the best advice is to expect less.
I haven't been updating the blog at all in the past couple of weeks, not because it's been boring, but because there hasn't been too much time to spare. I've been trying to stay on top of my reading schedule, and so far with success, and on weekends I've travelled around. Here's some relatively unorganised thoughts and updates!
The long and eventful day had started from the 16th arrondissement of Paris, passed by the 5th, and ended in a three-person bedroom in a brand new Romanian student accommodation complex.
