We really loved our tour of Valley View Gardens. Both [name removed] and [name removed] were fantastic and they really understood the challenges we have been facing with other facilities that are just not equipped to deal with dementia patients. We have decided to move our father in, once he gets out of the hospital.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience visiting our community; we appreciate your feedback and are so happy to hear your father will be joining Valley View Gardens!
Valley View Gardens is a cheery, sunny place. Caring for dementia patients is a tough job, and the staff works hard to support its residents. The caregiving staff is patient and works with residents even when they are having a bad day. Activities are offered during the daytime hours, featuring music, art, memory activities, and exercise. The parties are fun and facilities are well maintained. The big great room is usually a cheerful place filled with friendly people. Thanks, Valley View!
We think this community is pretty special too! Thank you for sharing those kind words with us.
We, my sister and I, liked this place but the only drawback was the size... it will accept 69 residents... too big for my honey.
I went and did a walk in tour last week and I was greeted by [name removed] she immediately notice i was in distress and offered me a hug, [name removed] is very kind, I was so happy doing my tour resident was engaged but most of all it was clean, i walk passes a tail man cleaning a room and he smelled at me and i new then i could place my father there.
This place is terrible. The management is terrible and there are residents leaving left and right. The director has no business holding the position. They take no responsibility, they just give you verbal words and there's no follow through or back up. Just as one example, something happened with my loved one where they wound up in the hospital for 6 hours alone. We gave them 4 different numbers and they only contacted one and left a voicemail that wasn't received until early the next morning. We tried to talk with management about it and all they said was "we'll look into it and get back to you." My loved one has lost a significant amount of weight since being there as well. They said they would be monitoring my loved one's weight while they were living there, but they never told us about the weight loss because they never monitored it. I told them about my loved one's inability to eat hard foods and it took them several days to get food that my loved one could actually eat. The facility has a huge turnover rate and they're always short staffed. Anytime I try to make a complaint or voice my concern, they don't do anything. It all just gets brushed under the table. That I know of personally, there are 3 residents that have already left and 2 more that will be leaving. The management there shouldn't even be in charge of dogs, they don't do anything. The place is awful and I feel horrible for the residents that are still there.
My husband seems to like living at this community. The staff are focused on him and the other residents to be sure they are comfortable. The food seems to be good and they take good care of the community. They do offer some daily activities and the staff encourage him to participate in some. He seems to be comfortable here and I would recommend this community.
Thank you for sharing your review of Valley View Gardens; we appreciate your confidence in us!
Shortly after my mother moved-in, she was placed under Hospice care and the staff at Valley View Gardens are working hand in hand with them for my mother's care. They were very helpful in helping me arrange her Hospice care as well. They are very good at staying in touch with as well. I am very pleased with the care my mother is receiving here.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We appreciate your confidence in us and we're honored to be a part of your mother's journey.
I am more than pleased with the care from this community. The staff is very caring and attentive to my mom's care and needs. We like knowing that the community is clean and maintained. They have a wonderful variety of meals and options. They have activities for the residents. We can give high recommendations for the care and the value from this community.
Thank you for sharing your recommendation of Valley View Gardens! We appreciate your confidence in us!
Wow, wow. [Removed] was amazing! She listened and asked us about our dad's needs, likes and dislikes. Facility is beautiful and so are the grounds. The staff was very friendly. They focus on and specialize in care of Alzheimer's and dementia residents. The residents all seemed to be very happy and well cared for. Great package price.
Thank you so much for sharing your review! We appreciate your confidence in us and we're so pleased that your experience was the 5-star level that we strive for.
I talked with the staff and they appeared to be nice and responsive. The meals would have been very appealing <My parents would like the activities.I suggest a tour for other families.
Thank you for your review and for your recommendation of our community; we appreciate your feedback!
This is a nice community. The staff were nice, but some of the staff do not seem to watch the residents as well as they should at times.The menu was nice and appealing. They do offer a good variety of meals. The activites that are offered seem to be very helpful. We do not that the community was alwasy clean. We would recommend that families tour this community for the care of a loved one's needs.
Thank you for your review; we appreciate your feedback! If you have any additional input, please don't hesitate to contact our Executive Director. Our goal is to provide the best possible care for our residents and your review helps us to achieve that goal.
We were not happy with the care at this community. The staff did not take care of the needs and we were not happy with the staff. We did move our family member out of this community into another place where good care is now being received. I would not recommend this community to other families for the care of a loved one.
We appreciate your feedback, and were sorry to hear that your time at Valley View Gardens was not a five-star experience. We practice an open-door policy, and would love to hear any additional thoughts or comments you may have. Please feel free to reach out to our Executive Director at our community phone number.

We like this community for care. The staff is very nice and caring. The community is clean and well maintained. She likes the activities and being able to go on small trips out of the community. She is pleased with the good variety of meals. We would highly recommend this community for good care and a good value for other families.
Thank you for your review; we appreciate your feedback and your confidence in us!
Lots of memory care at this location!!
When I toured this location for my mother I had realized that they mainly focused on memory care and that it was for more sever stages of memory loss than what my mother had. It had a very institutional and hospital feel to it and I could tell this was not the place where my mom needed to be. The staff where all very friendly though and gave us lots of great information on there establishment.
Really Liked this Facility. Large group area. Quiet Room, TV/Living Room. Beautiful grounds.
There is some good and some not so good staff!!!
Some of the staff at this community are amazing and some you can tell do not want to be there. They do offer a lot of daily activities. The community could be a little cleaner including the furniture in the common areas. I might recommend this community if you were not able to find anything else in the area that would work for you. They are not flexible on their rates and they are a little pricey.
Our experience with Valley View Gardens was not a good one. The facility itself never seemed very clean, and had a noticeable odor. They had a poor resident to staff ratio, and care staff were always hard to find when you needed them. They also really need to improve the food. Other than the activities director, who I think was wonderful, I was disappointed with the whole experience.
My loved one resided in the community for a short time. One thing that i liked was how the staff understood all of the patients. They were very attentive and listened to their needs. The community had a beautiful garden but unfortunately it was really hot and my loved one could not go out much. Towards the end we had to move them it was getting really loud and the community was very big. There was also a small incident my loved one lost our their wedding ring and we tried to find it but it never came up.
The Ad - Valley View Garden HAS BEEN recognized for consistently high ratings from residents and their families in 2013-2014. That was before it was sold and new management staff started running the front office. With a 1:15 ratio facility is no longer safe in my opinion.
When looking for an Alzheimer appropriate facility, Valley View and it's sister facility came highly recommended by Jacquie McCord, consultant with A Place for Mom.
Before enlisting the guidance from Jackie, we tried to find a place at first, and jumped into another facility which was retrofitted as a "memory care" facility, but was not appropriate for an alzheimer patient. My family quickly learned this after 1 week of inappropriate care, and multiple escapes from the facility. My Father was placed in a psychward after a "fall" for 3 weeks, where his medications were rebalanced. This was an awful time for my family and my Father.
Then came Valley View. Enclosed, secure facility with garden & aviary, and activites designed for memory care. The whole place is designed for memory care. And, the staff are happy in their work, engaging, aware of needs, and display a level of professional knowledge to work with seniors in varied stages of dimensia. The staff makes all the difference.
We had suggestions from Jacquie for Silverado, Sunflower and Valley View. Valley view was the right fit! My family is grateful for the guidance and compassion through this tough time. And now we have found A Place for Dad.
I really like this place everything here is so nice and the staff is so nice and helpful, I am just not sure if this is the perfect fit for my husband.
It seems to be a very successful placing. He is getting along very well. He seems to plateau and then go down. Considering that he has Alzheimer's, he is getting the best care possible.
The staff here Is very kind and caring. They go above and beyond to ensure that the residents have everything they need to be comfortable and happy. The facility is well maintained and clean. We are impressed with how it is run.
We have had a very good experience with Valley View Gardens and would highly recommend them. The whole process was very easy. They provide a very loving and safe environment for their residents. All of the staff has been exceptionally attentive and friendly.
Searched many places before finding Valley View. The staff is by far the most caring we found. My father has excellent care and is more alert and engaged than in any place before. Visit and you will see.
Very clean, warm and welcoming community. The residents were engaged and supervised. The staff appeared to know and care about the residents. The grounds were appealing.
I loved the garden, outdoor walkways, very large and highly motivating community center. The rooms didn't have private bathrooms.
Valley View Gardens was the top choice for my Mother after I visited 10 other residences. My Mother and our family are very happy with her beautiful private room, the highly qualified and caring staff, the beautiful grounds and facility, and the fun and stimulating daily activities geared to each resident's abilities and interests. We are at peace knowing that her daily well being is well taken care of with regular facility visits on site with a physician, dentist, podiatrist, lab. technicians, and hair stylist. She is monitored 24/7 by qualified medical staff and administrators. Everyone at all levels is gracious and welcoming to family and visitors. My Mother enjoys viewing the aviary, the resident pet dogs, and the beautiful gardens and gazebo. She feels safe, never bored as she enjoys the exercise classes, singing, movies, games, parties and live entertainment. Valley View Gardens is a top quality residence and an excellent value.
My wife spent six nights in Respite Care at Valley View Gardens while I was away on a trip. She enjoyed the time spent there and we would use this facility again for Day and Respite care needs.
The care givers there are terrific.
Valley View Gardens - Garden Grove, CA has been recognized for consistently high ratings from residents and their families in previous years.

What happens when you buy the whipped cream that comes in a can? Lots of whipped cream "shots" (you know what I am talking about), and an occasional mess.
The mess occurred towards the end of the can, when just a tiny bit of the whipping cream remained in the container, and Brian, not leaning his head back far enough, let all the propellant out, with no accompanying whipping cream. Then all this un-whipped stuff came oozing out of the can. Fortunately, he was outside when this happened, so the mess was minimized. And I will think twice (no, three times) before buying another can of whipping cream. Because it always causes chaos.

DC Bombshells Harley Quinn (Review)
DC Comics Bombshells got its start when reps for DC Collectibles attended the 2011 C2E2 and came across the work of Ant Lucia. Lucia was a pinup artist, and his work sparked the idea of reimagining some of the DC Comics characters as classic pinup art. After some internal pitching and an approval to move forward, DC Collectibles went back to Lucia to come up with the designs for what would be the first Bombshells statues. The statues proved to be a hit, and the Bombshells line has since expanded to include figures, collectibles, a comic series, and now a set of diecast cars.
This is nearly identical to the box that was used for Poison Ivy, with the only changes being "★ ★ Harley Quinn & 1951 Mercury ★ ★" is now written under the window on the front panel and the internal die cut piece behind the car now has pictures and script for Harley Quinn. The Merc is held in place with two screws, and plastic bands around the hood and doors keep them closed. The rear of the car is in a tray to keep the trunk lid closed. Harley Quinn is screwed to the base near the front of the car.
Casting/Paint
While Jada is usually smart about letting diecast and plastic parts work to their respective strengths, this Mercury leans into it even more than most. The hefty diecast body goes straight past "solid" and right into ""monolithic" territory, with the cast-in skirts, tall sides, and radically chopped top making it seem even heavier than its 1¼ pounds (576g). Doors, hood, and trunk are also diecast, with nice tight seams. There are a few mold separation lines around the cowl and backs of the fenders, but as I've mentioned in other reviews there are some things that I grant extra leeway to in a mass-market diecast release. The bumpers, grille, and spotlights are black plastic, the windows and taillights are clear plastic, and the headlights are transparent red plastic.
The paint work here is difficult to pin down. By the numbers, there are a few problems: a very visible dress edge between the silver and green (dinged in the review for Supergirl's pickup); there's a bad spot above the left taillight (dinged in the review for Dom's Charger); and some small chips in the stripes (dinged in the review for Roman's Camaro). But the thing is, those were all high-gloss show rods. With its flat olive paint and flat silver and yellow markings, this Mercury looks like a war machine. Add in the almost creepy red headlights with their black painted bezels, the red "whiskers" painted on the hood and front fenders, the even more overt than usual "nose art" (Harley's portrait and name, "Gotham or Bust!", and yellow bombing tally and fuselage stripes), and crossed-out Bat symbols in black and red...this really does look like a bomber that's flown to Hell and back. The few extra scars it carries somehow enhance the look, rather than detract from it.
Under the hood is a solid chrome flathead V8 with a separate twin carb setup, beehive oil filter, and belt assembly. The casting is well done, with everything from the head bolts to the exhaust manifolds sharply defined. The interior is black with chrome steering wheel/column, pedals, and rear view mirror. Detailing is basic but sufficient, with pleated seats and sharp dash details. Underneath is an old-school Jada chassis, detailed but very shallow. The wheels are black steelies with skinny whitewalls, and all four match even though only a sliver of the rears are visible.
Features/Accessories
The hood, doors, and trunk open on nice stiff hinges that hold their positions easily and close snugly. A 1/24 Harley Quinn figure is also included, standing with one hand on her hip and the other holding and oversize novelty gun. The sculpting is quite possibly the best of the series, with only a small casting flaw on her left thigh and nearly negligible lines on her arms. The paint is also very good, with some fuzzy lines where her stockings/legs/shorts come together but nice sharp edges on the rest of her outfit and a beautifully printed face. They even managed to give her a slight fade in her hair color, as it becomes a darker orange near the tips.
This is not based on an existing design, but is instead a "character car" that simply uses an existing tooling with a new paint job to evoke a persona. While the car's vintage is no more accurate than the others in the series, it does succeed in that it has a distinct WWII aesthetic.
Jada's Bombshells series has been more hits than misses, and Harley's Mercury is easily one of my favorites. The car looks awesome, the figure is well done, and it fits the WWII theme better than any of the others. If you're going to get only one of these, this is the one.

Kennedy junior Jamie Milota has been named the Athlete of the Year on the Valley Division all-star girls bowling team, the Mississippi Valley Conference announced Thursday.
Rylee Blood, a senior at Prairie and the Class 3A state champion, shared the honor with senior Ashley Care of Waterloo East in the Mississippi Division.
Prairie's Don Willfong was named Coach of the Year in the Mississippi Division. Linn-Mar's Jeremy Moser was named Coach of the Year in the Valley Division.
Blood and freshman Prairie teammate Ashley Sundstrom were unanimous first-team picks in the Mississippi Division. Prairie senior Sabrina Keiper and Washington senior Shania Christensen also made the first team.
JOHNSTON – The 15th-ranked Washington girls basketball team came out strong against top-ranked Johnston in a Class 5A regional final, but the Warriors faded in the second half and lost 66-54 Tuesday at Johnston.
The Warriors held their own and led 35-33 at halftime, but Johnston pulled away with a 14-6 run in the third quarter.
Joniqua Clark had 17 points for Washington (15-8). Anne Visser scored 16 points. Jessica Puk grabbed seven rebounds and made four steals.
Taryn Knuth scored 28 points for Johnston (20-3).
WASHINGTON (54): Clark 7 2-2 17, Carey 0 0-0 0, Visser 6 0-0 16, V.Eniola 0 0-0 0, Hoeger 0 0-0 0, Bruner 3 0-0 7, Puk 3 0-0 6, Riley 1 0-0 2, Mia 1 0-0 2, Johnson 2 0-0 4. Totals 23 2-2 54.

Halftime – Washington 35, Johnston 33. 3-point goals – Washington 6 (Visser 4, Clark, Bruner), Johnston 1 (Sieren).
If ever there was a proverbial team win, the Jefferson boys earned one Monday night.
The heroes were many as they hung-on and hung together down the stretch to eke out a 55-52 Class 4A substate victory over Washington in the Prairie gym.
Savvy senior Adam Van Oort kept them in the game in the first half, and sparkplug point guard Royshawn Webb took control in the second.
Jack-of-all-trades Valentino Green, as usual, was all over the floor taking charges, diving for loose balls, making steals and crashing the boards.
And how about quiet junior Kane Kramer?
He came back in the game with 10 seconds to go, was immediately fouled and calmly sank two free throws to give the J-Hawks a three-point cushion.

Family reunited as soldiers with the 278th arrive in Knoxville from long overseas deployment
13 soldiers arrived in Knoxville out of the more than 800 that will return home throughout this month following a long deployment away from their families.
Author: Brandon Bates
Published: 11:42 PM EDT May 14, 2019
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Over the last 9 months, Erin Pressley's husband has been in Ukraine deployed with the Army National Guard's 278th Armored Calvary out of Knoxville.
"Life has been chaotic with hard times and good times. We are just happy to get through it and this moment is surreal," Erin Pressley said.
The hardest part for Erin Pressley has been raising her two boys with her husband.
"Raising two toddler boys and working full time. Just doing it by myself is hard," Pressley said.
Erin's husband, Lt. Ran Pressley, came home on Tuesday night and his family anxiously waited. When he got off the bus, his family rushed to him and smothered him in hugs.
"It's amazing. It's very amazing. It so surreal it will probably hit me in a couple days," Lt. Ran Pressley said.
Pressley carried his boys on his shoulders, laughed with them and hugged them.
His wife still doesn't believe he's here.
"I can't believe he's physically present with me right now," she said.
Brandon Bates
Lt. Pressley said luckily he was able to video chat while overseas, but seeing his family in person tops it all.
"They have the same energy, they're just moving a lot faster and they're stronger now," Lt. Pressley said.
Lt. Pressley said the first thing he wanted to do when he got home was have a family dinner and get his life back to normal as fast as possible.
The 13 soldiers who returned Tuesday are just the first few of more than 800 from the 278th who will finally return from their deployments throughout May.


Is There Any Such Thing as Healthy Fat in Your Diet?
Home / Holistic Nutrition / Is There Any Such Thing as Healthy Fat in Your Diet?
For years we have been told to avoid dietary fats at all costs. They are the leading cause of heart disease and so many other ailments it would take years to talk about all the dangers which have been attributed to fat intake. The witch hunt seems to have taken hold in the 1980s and since then has become a multi-billion-dollar industry in which many have grown very fat pockets while Americans have been deprived of some fats which can actually be good for you.
So, in answer to the question, "Is there any such thing as a healthy fat in your diet," the answer is yes. Even so, it isn't quite that simple. You first need to understand the difference between the three basic kinds of fats and how to avoid the three groups which medical science has proven are not good for you.
According to information published by Harvard, there are three groups of fats which are mostly to be avoided. The bad fats are called trans fats which is nothing more than a process whereby healthy oils are turned into solid form. (More about healthier fats in a minute.) These are hydrogen heavy fats and you will find them labeled as "partially hydronated oil." If you see this, don't buy the product!
Then there are those fats which are what Harvard classifies as "in-between" fats and these are the saturated fats commonly used in the American diet. Common sources of saturated fats are whole milk and dairy products, red meats and coconut oil. Saturated fats are bad for you because they can drive bad (LDL) cholesterol limits through the roof.
Finally, we have the good stuff, or rather, not so bad stuff. Monosaturated fats would include olive oil and have fewer hydrogen atoms which make them easier to digest and also remain liquid at room temperature Good sources of these fats include peanut oil, olive oil, canola oil, nuts, avocados, safflower oil and sunflower oil.
But, What About Fish Oil?
Here we have a conundrum. Fish seems to be 'almost' in a world of its own. While it is a polyunsaturated fat by which many food industries claim health benefits, is it really good for you? Harvard says yes it is! It can help to reduce LDL, the bad stuff, in your blood, thereby reducing arterial buildup of plaque. Harvard warns against believing that fish oil which includes the omega 3 complex can cure disease.
What they do state is that there are known benefits that can relieve muscle soreness and other types of ailments brought on by inflammation. If you aren't partial to fish, you can take omega 3 supplements which contain the fish oil without the taste of fish. It's much like taking garlic capsules to avoid walking around smelling like a plate of scampi.
The bottom line is to understand the difference between the good, the bad and the ugly. If you can't eat foods rich in healthy fats, supplements are available. In either case, nothing will do much good if you continue to eat the bad or in-between stuff. Your health is in your hands when it comes to fat consumption, so always choose wisely.

Goldman Sachs is entering online lending! BIIA editorial comment.
Six months ago Goldman Sachs was a lead underwriter on the initial public offering of Lending Club, the biggest and brashest of a new breed of online lenders. There it got an inside view of how financial disrupters work. Now this financial powerhouse is looking to disrupt the disrupters, launching its own web-based business offering loans to consumers and small businesses.
Goldman Sachs has hired Harit Talwar, the former CMO at Discover Financial Services, as a partner. Thus Goldman Sachs is poised to offer loans online to both consumers and to small businesses as it looks to tap into a marketplace worth nearly $850 billion.
Online lending requires extreme analytics and access to alternative data. This should not be difficult for Goldman Sachs to do. It invested in TransUnion (consumer information) and in analytics by backing analytics startup Kensho.
There is much talk about small businesses having problems in obtaining access to finance. Thus under the auspices of 'Financial Inclusion', the G20, the World Bank and the EU Commission are all working on creating a new type open financial capital markets for small businesses and to eliminate information asymmetries.
In my humble opinion, FINTECH is already running rings around such efforts and the whole concept of 'Financial Inclusion' will become redundant thanks to financial technology.
But will small businesses actually need money? According to a recent survey, 50% of US SMEs say they do not need financing. 30% said they had adequate access to finance and only 4% said they had problems in finding adequate finance. Therefore where is the potential? Consumers of course, there are a lot more than small businesses. Look at the success of Alibaba who shifted its focus to consumers from being a trading platform for small businesses. Its affiliate Alipay is doing well and has now entered the consumer credit information business using financial technology rather than copying the old style credit bureau concept.
Perhaps once markets start to experience a new wave of over-indebtedness the debt collection industry will experience a new bonanza. Surely after that regulators will move in. I venture to say this may take a while. So stay tuned ….

The Business Next Door
Island planners discuss possibility of allowing home-spun businesses.
How would you feel if your neighbor decided to set up a small business in their home? Commissioners and community members discussed the potential of Service Business Residential (SBR) zone's on Molokai last week Wednesday during the Molokai Planning Commission (MoPC) meeting.
"We've got to be very careful," said Judy Caparida, Molokai resident. She described the attempt to bring SBRs to Molokai by referring to it as "Maui's mongoose" trying to sneak into Molokai.
The biggest concern from commissioners came over how to enforce SBRs. Commission Chairman Steve Chaikin compared SBRs to art, in that they are interpretational, and therefore difficult to regulate.
"It's my job as a planner to kind of be that crystal ball for the community," Commissioner Lori Buchanan said, explaining that the commission must account for unexpected consequences. In order to make well-informed decisions, she asked for future decisions over SBRs to come back to the MoPC instead of being left up to the Planning Director's discretion.
There are "so many built in check points," said Joe Alueta, Maui County planner. In his presentation to the MoPC, he said that even if the bill passed, individuals interested in beginning a small business on their residence would have to overcome a number of obstacles.
SBRs must first be recognized in a community plan, and they are not in Molokai's community plan that is currently under review. To get SBRs in the community plan an individual would have to propose an amendment and provide an environmental assessment, which would require a public hearing.
If SBRs were in the community plan, individuals would then need to apply to the county for a zoning change, which would come before county counsel and the MoPC.
A motion in 1996 to accept SBRs failed. However, after nearly three hours of questions over the merits and consequences of the bill, a motion to accept SBRs passed during the last MoPC meeting.

Spy novelist le Carre relates stories from his life
By Carla K. Johnson
"The Pigeon Tunnel: Stories from My Life" (Viking), by John le Carre
Of stories to dine out on, David Cornwell has an abundance. Or should we say John le Carre has? Cornwell's pen name overshadows the title on the cover of this, his first memoir, "The Pigeon Tunnel." The name "John le Carre" attracts the audience, but it's David Cornwell confiding in us here, as if over dinner, then chatting long into the evening over snifters of brandy, or, as he unspools memories of Russia, glasses of vodka.
He is nearing his 85th birthday, so he reflects on his brief stint as a British spy during the Cold War and long career as a revered espionage novelist who does his own fieldwork, including not least a personal audience with Yasser Arafat, interviews with Russian mafia bosses and meeting Congolese warlords.
Fans of le Carre's fiction will use this as a code book where they will match up characters from "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy," ''The Little Drummer Girl" and other titles to the real people who inspired them.
The title "The Pigeon Tunnel" comes from a much earlier memory however. His conman father (the inspiration for le Carre's autobiographical novel, "A Perfect Spy") has taken him on a gambling spree in Monte Carlo. At a sporting club, the teenager David sees "well-lunched sporting gentlemen" shooting pigeons. He learns the surviving birds fly back to their home on the casino roof where they are doomed to be trapped in the tunnels that lead them again into shotgun fire.
It's a troubling image. Does it haunt him into his 80s because he's trapped by his own inherited nature? His father, Ronnie, looms, at last fully formed, in "Son of the Author's Father," a chapter saved for late in the book. Roguish Ronnie cheats, lies, runs cons, sends others to prison for his crimes, beds women, goes to prison himself and still manages to send his sons to the best schools. Later in life, Ronnie takes advantage of his son's fame whenever he can.
In these pages, Cornwell becomes one of his most fascinating characters — the son who learns to dissemble at his father's knee, joins the British intelligence service and rounds out his life creating false worlds as a novelist.
"Sometimes I walk round him, sometimes he's the mountain I still have to climb," he writes of Ronnie. We listen and nod, sipping with pleasure, intoxicated by his words.

Every transaction is a file that consists of the sender's and recipient's public keys (wallet addresses) and the amount of coins transferred. The transaction also needs to be signed off by the sender with their private key. All of this is just basic cryptography. Eventually, the transaction is broadcasted in the network, but it needs to be confirmed first.
As of November 2017, Bitcoin and other digital currencies are outlawed only in Bangladesh, Bolivia, Ecuador, Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam, with China and Russia being on the verge of banning them as well. Other jurisdictions, however, do not make the usage of cryptocurrencies illegal as of yet, but the laws and regulations can vary drastically depending on the country.
Mining is a record-keeping service done through the use of computer processing power.[f] Miners keep the blockchain consistent, complete, and unalterable by repeatedly grouping newly broadcast transactions into a block, which is then broadcast to the network and verified by recipient nodes.[79] Each block contains a SHA-256 cryptographic hash of the previous block,[79] thus linking it to the previous block and giving the blockchain its name.[7]:ch. 7[79]
J. P. Morgan Chase is developing JPM Coin on a permissioned-variant of Ethereum blockchain dubbed "Quorum".[52] It's designed to toe the line between private and public in the realm of shuffling derivatives and payments. The idea is to satisfy regulators who need seamless access to financial goings-on, while protecting the privacy of parties that don't wish to reveal their identities nor the details of their transactions to the general public.[53]
Nigel Dodd argues in The Social Life of Bitcoin that the essence of the bitcoin ideology is to remove money from social, as well as governmental, control.[137] Dodd quotes a YouTube video, with Roger Ver, Jeff Berwick, Charlie Shrem, Andreas Antonopoulos, Gavin Wood, Trace Meyer and other proponents of bitcoin reading The Declaration of Bitcoin's Independence. The declaration includes a message of crypto-anarchism with the words: "Bitcoin is inherently anti-establishment, anti-system, and anti-state. Bitcoin undermines governments and disrupts institutions because bitcoin is fundamentally humanitarian."[137][136]
A wallet stores the information necessary to transact bitcoins. While wallets are often described as a place to hold[98] or store bitcoins, due to the nature of the system, bitcoins are inseparable from the blockchain transaction ledger. A wallet is more correctly defined as something that "stores the digital credentials for your bitcoin holdings" and allows one to access (and spend) them.[7]:ch. 1, glossary Bitcoin uses public-key cryptography, in which two cryptographic keys, one public and one private, are generated.[99] At its most basic, a wallet is a collection of these keys.
Ethereum was officially with an unusually long list of founders. Anthony Di Iorio wrote "Ethereum was founded by Vitalik Buterin, Myself, Charles Hoskinson, Mihai Alisie, & Amir Chetrit (the initial 5) in December 2013. Joseph Lubin, Gavin Wood, & Jeffrey Wilke were added in early 2014 as founders." Formal development of the Ethereum software project began in early 2014 through a Swiss company, Ethereum Switzerland GmbH (EthSuisse).[13][14] The basic idea of putting executable smart contracts in the blockchain needed to be specified before the software could be implemented; this work was done by Gavin Wood, then chief technology officer, in the Ethereum Yellow Paper that specified the Ethereum Virtual Machine.[15] Subsequently, a Swiss non-profit foundation, the Ethereum Foundation (Stiftung Ethereum), was created as well. Development was funded by an online public crowdsale during July–August 2014, with the participants buying the Ethereum value token (ether) with another digital currency, bitcoin.
1) Controlled supply: Most cryptocurrencies limit the supply of the tokens. In Bitcoin, the supply decreases in time and will reach its final number sometime around the year 2140. All cryptocurrencies control the supply of the token by a schedule written in the code. This means the monetary supply of a cryptocurrency in every given moment in the future can roughly be calculated today. There is no surprise.
Two members of the Silk Road Task Force—a multi-agency federal task force that carried out the U.S. investigation of Silk Road—seized bitcoins for their own use in the course of the investigation.[68] DEA agent Carl Mark Force IV, who attempted to extort Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht ("Dread Pirate Roberts"), pleaded guilty to money laundering, obstruction of justice, and extortion under color of official right, and was sentenced to 6.5 years in federal prison.[68] U.S. Secret Service agent Shaun Bridges pleaded guilty to crimes relating to his diversion of $800,000 worth of bitcoins to his personal account during the investigation, and also separately pleaded guilty to money laundering in connection with another cryptocurrency theft; he was sentenced to nearly eight years in federal prison.[69]
If the private key is lost, the bitcoin network will not recognize any other evidence of ownership;[36] the coins are then unusable, and effectively lost. For example, in 2013 one user claimed to have lost 7,500 bitcoins, worth $7.5 million at the time, when he accidentally discarded a hard drive containing his private key.[82] About 20% of all bitcoins are believed to be lost. They would have a market value of about $20 billion at July 2018 prices.[83]

A Midwestern kid with an insatiable curiosity about places far and foreign, Andy has converted a lucky break after college into a career at sea. From swabbing the decks to advocating for artisans and zooming in Zodiacs, he knows the operation from every department on board. What keeps him fresh after nearly two decades working at sea is waking up somewhere new every morning, the day ahead a blank slate with no way of knowing what marvels nature and serendipity may bring his way. Andy looks forward to sharing this sense of wonder and possibility with guests as they venture together into new realms with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic.
For more than a decade, Erika Larsen has used photography to learn intimately about and document cultures that maintain strong connections with nature.

Let's talk about another one of the animalistic perfume ingredients. Civet. Just like musk its value for the perfume industry lies in its ability to enhance fragrances and prolong the life of scents.
So now to the less romantic part.
Civet, or civetone as it is called at its more refined stage, is a substance taken from an animal called the African Civet – a nocturnal animal in sub-Saharan Africa. It eats most things, including snake and species that other animals find too poisonous to have for dinner. When moving around a territory the civet spreads a fluid to mark it. This fluid comes from the animal's perineal glands and is the link between this African mammal and the perfume industry.
There is definitely a market for civet, which has led to numerous civet farms where animals are kept under dubious conditions only to serve as sources of gland secretion. One animal provides the owner with three to four grams per week.
Civet is one of the absolutely oldest perfume ingredients, particularly popular in France. It has a strong odor similar to musk and is used in very small quantities as a fixative that gives the fragrance depth and longer life. Chandler Burr compares it to using whole cream in soups and sauces.


While the rest of America cooed about golden-roasted turkeys and football scores yesterday, the Scatter family was concerned about deeply more important matters. Hot chocolate.
Ah! Scatter regulars just knew that line was going to be about pickles. They know the fourth Thursday in November is not known as Thanksgiving in the Scatter household but as the Grand Unsealing of the Pickles.
But the Scatters are a multi-complex family. They go way beyond cranberries. Like the United Nations or a mixed-faith family, they are very liberal about accommodating many cultural needs. The Grand Unsealing of the Pickles day is a multiple bonanza.
Today is a REALLY big day in the Scatter Household. The special holiday hot chocolate comes out, the Christmas CDs make their debut and … drumroll … it's the Grand Unsealing of the Pickles.
We've been sharing our disaster tales of Thanksgivings past all week.
Some years back, Mr. Scatter's family (notice how the disaster stories are always Mr. Scatter's family?) wanted to get together for a large gathering. The trick was finding a place big enough.
No one had a house the right size. (Except us, and we lived too far away.) A restaurant didn't suit our need to sprawl over several hours. Finally, I booked a condo and reserved its community room, which had a kitchen.
Somehow, we had the largest family with the smallest kids, and we traveled the farthest, made all the arrangements and hosted the event. No, wait. Come to think of it, I made all the arrangements and it wasn't even my family.

We wished to make access to the orchard easier, and provide somewhere solid upon which to stand when events take place within it. This meant the necessity of creating a path and hardstanding area.
We were successful in bidding for money from Nottinghamshire County Council's "Supporting Local Communities" fund, which allowed us to carry out this project and are thankful for their support of our work in the orchard.
Having sourced stone from a local quarry and plant hire, and marked out where we wanted the work to take place, we began the installation work with the delivery of 31 tonnes of Type 1 limestone, and the mini digger and dumper truck.
Work went well and we were finished quicker than we anticipated. However, after a few days of rain, it was clear that we required a finer layer of limestone on the surface, so we ordered a few more tonnes of fine grade limestone and whacked it down, thanks to a friend loaning us their whacker plate.
Finally the path and hardstanding were completed, and we are very pleased with it. In the future we hope to install something in the centre of the circular area that allows us to insert a maypole which can be used by the community at seasonal events (but no, no wicker man is planned 🙂 ).


Sorry for disappearing for so long. I have been working on another very exciting project to popularize history that I hope to share with you guys soon. In the meantime, this post is a by-product of my struggles of re-educating myself of my own mother tongue.
Before the middle of nineteenth century, Hindi had no patrons in India. The language was essentially a collection of dialects spoken in large swathes North India, but it held no formal recognition. Mughal Empire used Persian as the official language, which the British Raj had continued to a certain extent. Parallel to it were the native courts, which used Sanskrit. Sanskrit was an exclusive domain of the Brahmins, incomprehensible to both British and common Indians. Brahmins were happy hold back its spread to ensure their own continued influence.
The first political patrons for Hindi emerged from the Hindu-Muslim antagonism that was building up in the country in late 1800s. These promoters of the language saw Hindi as a tool to counteract the influence of Muslims who spoke and read Urdu. The initial attempt was spread Hindi as far as possible, in effort to claim most population and regions as Hindi speaking. Since Hindi was such a vague, ill-defined group of dialects, an easy way to do this was claim other languages as Hindi. The direct victims of this strategy became border regions like Rajasthan, Bihar, Himachal and Uttarakhand. Many linguist experts maintain that Rajasthani, Bihari and Pahari should be a different language group. But all this was swept aside in a campaign to spread Hindi. So, for instance, in 1881 Bihar Government adopted Hindi as the sole official language of the state, ignoring, not only Urdu but also Maithili, Bhojpuri etc. A lot of government work and education programmes were transferred to Hindi medium. Over the decades, this situation ensured that most Biharis, regardless of their mother tongue, end up becoming Hindi speakers. Such efforts continued across North India, with much success, except in Punjab, where Sikhs, with the force of their religion, were able to consolidate a counteracting force.

When news of the Dallas sniper attack that left five police officers dead reached Utah County, a few women here knew all too well what the families of the fallen officers were feeling.
Nannette Wride, widow of Sgt. Cory Wride of the Utah County sheriff's office, has partnered with other widows of police officers killed on duty to offer love and support to those in similar situations.
"We belong to a club that no one wants to belong to, but we're sure glad we have each other," Wride says.
Wride and the other widows who make up the Blue Haven Foundation work to assist surviving spouses of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty, according to their website. In the coming weeks, the Blue Haven Foundation will assemble five gift baskets — one for each of the police officers' families — and fly a "widow mentor" to Dallas to deliver the basket, offer support and create friendship. The widows and their families will also be invited to various retreats and other networking gatherings the foundation holds nationwide.
Wride says they won't be arriving in Dallas for at least a couple weeks.
In the meantime, volunteers can help by purchasing gifts for the baskets or by donating to the Blue Haven Foundation online (via the "Donate Now" button on their Facebook page or on the Blue Haven Foundation website). They also need help securing lodging, rental cars and other travel necessities for the trip to Dallas. JetBlue has already pledged to provide airfare.
In the past, baskets have included journals, CDs, blankets, decorative statues, picture frames and inspirational books. All donations can be brought to 1074 South 1560 East in Spanish Fork.


The power supply to the Burj Khalifa tower is provided using more than 70 so-called dry-type resin-encapsulated RESIBLOC® transformers from ABB. As partial discharges can cause permanent damage to the insulation of this type of transformer, the international testing standard IEC 60076-11 prescribes a maximum partial discharge limit of 10 pC for new dry-type transformer.
For testing all transformers for PD, the ABB facility has two MPD 600 three-phase PD measuring systems in place, as they are able to measure at such low PD levels.

Michel Lachance
Standardbred Drivers & Trainers
Mike Lachance, a native of St. Augustine, Que., holds a formidable position on the list of the greatest money-winning drivers in the history of harness racing in North America. His horses have earned over $192 million and he accumulated over 10,400 victories during his career.
Born in 1950, Lachance's best years arguably came in the late 1980s, 1990s and 2000s when he was in his late forties and early fifties. From 1996 through 2003, Lachance each year drove the winners of over $8 million. In that same span, he won the game's biggest trotting prize, the Hambletonian, with Victory Dream, Continental victory, Self Possessed and Amigo Hall. Lachance won pacing's biggest prize, the Little Brown Jug, five times between 1988 and 2001 with B J Scoot, Goalie Jeff, Magical Mike, Western Dreamer and Bettors Delight. Canada's biggest race, the North America Cup, has been won three times by the Quebecer – Safely Kept, Straight Path and Bettors Delight. Almost every major big-money stakes race, including the Prix d'Éte, Confederation Cup, Yonkers Cup and Cane Pace, has Lachance's imprint on it as well. Lachance has also won -Breeders Crown races since 1985 when he won the Aged Pacer title with Division Street.
In a seven-day span in 1996, Lachance won The Hambletonian, the Woodrow Wilson, the Mistletoe Shalee and The Adios. In the span of six weeks in 2003, when Lachance was53, he won three of the sport's biggest races -the Meadowlands Pace, the Hambletonian and the Confederation Cup, and on each occasion driving horses he had never sat behind before. Among the great horses he's guided is Bettors Delight, who was clocked in1:50 while winning the New Jersey Classic in 2001. Lachance was also the driver behind two of the fastest harness horses in history – Matts Scooter and Camluck. Lachance was regarded by some as the very best in a pressure situation or in a time trial. If a book were ever written on the art of the time trial, Lachance's handling of Matts Scooter (1:48.2), Camluck (1:48.4) and Caesars Jackpot (1:49.2) would be required reading. Three of the horses Lachance drove, Bettors Delight, Matts Scooter and Camluck, are members of the Hall of Fame.
One of Gédéon and Francoise Lachance's eight children, including five boys that were harness racing drivers, Mike learned his earliest lessons from Gédéon while driving the family's horses in the winter. "I remember my father coming to the house and picking me up in the wintertime and we were going in the sleigh with the horses and he would stop on the side of the road and would give me his pocket knife and say, 'Just cut a little branch there.' When we were coming back home with the horses he used to teach me to touch them (with the branch) to make them go faster. I was five, six years old and I was getting all the snow in my face. I'll never forget those things. Wherever he went he would always bring me along with him."
Mike's older brother, Gilles, was also a member of the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame and their nephew, Luc Ouellette, was atop driver on the Woodbine Entertainment Group (WEG) circuit with over $110 million in purse earnings to his credit. Mike's son, Patrick, is a rising star as a trainer and driver in New Jersey.

Q: Redrawing a JLabel to get a Gradient Painted Text I am trying to create a gradient paint for text that goes from the top of the word to the bottom, not from left to right. I was actually able to achieve this from the help of this link here. They took the shape of the text, and painted it on the panel. I simply edited their code and was able to apply the affect I am looking for. Here is what I edited their paint method to (where s is a Shape):
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
  super.paintComponent(g);
  Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g.create();
  g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
  g2.translate(100, 150);
  Rectangle2D r = s.getBounds2D();
  int x = (int) r.getX();
  int y = (int) r.getY();
  int h = (int) r.getHeight();
  GradientPaint gp = new GradientPaint(x, y, Color.MAGENTA, x, h, Color.ORANGE);
  g2.setPaint(gp);
  g2.fill(s);
}

This worked, but this approach is overriding a paintComponent method of a JPanel. I am trying to recreate this by a new GradientLabel Class that extends JLabel. The issue I am having is that the g2d.fill(s) method is drawing the shape somewhere above the label, seemingly out of reach. I don't understand why it is doing this. Perhaps its from casting Graphics2D g.create();? I have had to add the g2.translate(x,y) method to pull the shape down into a viewable location.
I guess I have 2 questions.

*

*Why doesn't the g2.fill(s) draw the shape over the text that was drawn by the JLabel super method? Could this be because of my layout manager?

*Is this approach even the way I should go? Is there an easier way to apply a vertical paint gradient to text?
Here is the minimal code for testing:
public class test extends JFrame {

private JPanel contentPane;

public static void main(String[] args) {
    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            try {
                test frame = new test();
                frame.setVisible(true);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    });
}

public test() {
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    setBounds(100, 100, 516, 360);
    contentPane = new JPanel();
    contentPane.setBorder(null);
    setContentPane(contentPane);
    GridBagLayout gbl_contentPane = new GridBagLayout();
    gbl_contentPane.columnWidths = new int[]{0, 0};
    gbl_contentPane.rowHeights = new int[]{0, 100, 0};
    gbl_contentPane.columnWeights = new double[]{1.0, Double.MIN_VALUE};
    gbl_contentPane.rowWeights = new double[]{0.0, 0.0, Double.MIN_VALUE};
    contentPane.setLayout(gbl_contentPane);

    Component verticalStrut = Box.createVerticalStrut(20);
    GridBagConstraints gbc_verticalStrut = new GridBagConstraints();
    gbc_verticalStrut.insets = new Insets(0, 0, 5, 0);
    gbc_verticalStrut.gridx = 0;
    gbc_verticalStrut.gridy = 0;
    contentPane.add(verticalStrut, gbc_verticalStrut);

    GradientLabel lblTest = new GradientLabel("TEST");
    lblTest.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
    lblTest.setGradientColors(Color.GREEN, Color.WHITE);
    lblTest.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 70));
    GridBagConstraints gbc_lblTest = new GridBagConstraints();
    gbc_lblTest.fill = GridBagConstraints.BOTH;
    gbc_lblTest.gridx = 0;
    gbc_lblTest.gridy = 1;
    contentPane.add(lblTest, gbc_lblTest);
}

public class GradientLabel extends JLabel {

    private Color c1;
    private Color c2;

    public GradientLabel(String text) {
        setText(text);
        this.setOpaque(false);
    }

    public void setGradientColors(Color c1, Color c2) {
        this.c1 = c1;
        this.c2 = c2;
    }

    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
        Font f = getFont();
        GlyphVector v = f.createGlyphVector(getFontMetrics(f).getFontRenderContext(), getText());
        Shape s = v.getOutline();
        Rectangle2D r = s.getBounds2D();
        int x = (int) r.getX();
        int y = (int) r.getY();
        int h = (int) r.getHeight();
        int w = (int) r.getWidth();

        //without this the shape is drawn almost out of view
        g2d.translate(x, h);
        g2d.drawRect(x, y, w, h);
        //for some reason using only h as the second y doesn't show much of the second color.
        //Subtracting 60 arbitrarily showed more of the second color in the gradient.
        //Bonus points for an explanation on why that happens.
        GradientPaint gp = new GradientPaint(x, y, c1, x, h - 60, c2);
        g2d.setPaint(gp);
        g2d.fill(s);
    }
  }
}

A: Well I was able to answer my own question! First time for everything I guess.
I tracked the code on the JLabel back to the class where it was actually being drawn on the screen to the BasicLabelUI Class. I studied and determined that if I could build a new class that extends this class, I could simply override the painting portion of this class. After testing and determining the best gradient that fully paints both colors from the top of the text to the bottom, this is what I came up with:
public class SBLabelUI extends BasicLabelUI {

    @Override
    protected void paintEnabledText(JLabel l, Graphics g, String s, int textX, int textY) {
        if (l instanceof GradientLabel) {
            GradientLabel gl = (GradientLabel) l;
            Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
            Font f = gl.getFont();
            int h = gl.getFontMetrics(f).getHeight();

            GradientPaint gp = new GradientPaint(textX, textY, gl.c2, textX, Math.abs(textY-h), gl.c1);
            g2d.setPaint(gp);
            g2d.drawString(s, textX, textY);
        } else {
            super.paintEnabledText(l, g, s, textX, textY);
        }
    }
}

And in my Constructor for the gradient Label, i simply set the UI:
public GradientLabel(String text) {
    setText(text);
    this.setOpaque(false);
    setUI(new SBLabelUI());
}

It works charmingly:

Supermassive black hole causes biggest cosmic explosion in recorded history, leaving dent that could fit 15 Milky Way galaxies
© Chandra: NASA/CXC/NRL/S. Giacintucci, et al., XMM: ESA/XMM; Radio: NCRA/TIFR/GMRT; Infrared: 2MASS/UMass/IPAC-Caltech/NASA/NSF
The biggest cosmic explosion in recorded history was detected about 390 million light years from Earth and it made a dent in surrounding space that could fit 15 Milky Way galaxies inside.
It is believed the eruption originated from a supermassive black hole in the Ophiuchus galaxy cluster. The explosion was compared to the Mount St. Helens eruption in 1980.
"A key difference is that you could fit 15 Milky Way galaxies in a row into the crater this eruption punched into the cluster's hot gas," said Simona Giacintucci of the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington DC, and lead author of the study.
Also on rt.com Earth has had TWO MOONS for past three years… and no one noticed
Authors of the study believe an excess amount of gas being supplied to the black hole caused the eruption, which itself was possibly caused by a galaxy falling to the center of the cluster.
Back holes typically draw material toward them, but they also release material and energy when matter moving toward the black hole is redirected into jets or beams that make contact with surrounding material.
Hints of the explosion were first found in 2016 when scientists discovered an unusual curved edge in gathered images of the cluster. It was originally theorized that the curved edge was part of the wall of a cavity in the hot gas created by jets from the black hole. This theory was discarded and the new study from Giacintucci and her colleagues, with the help of new radio data, confirms that an explosion occurred there.
Massive radio waves bordering the previously observed curve are the "clincher" that tells the researchers the "eruption of unprecedented size" happened. The explosion is thought to have happened hundreds of thousands of years ago and it is five times bigger than the previous record holder for a cosmic eruption.
Also on rt.com 'It's so violent': Scientists propose revolutionary new kind of engine for space travel, there's just one small catch (VIDEOS)
The study also reveals the explosion has concluded as the densest gases seen are located at a different position from the galaxy at the center of the cluster, depriving the black hole of further fuel for growth.
Data about the explosion was gathered through Chandra ESA's XMM-Newton space observatory, as well as radio data from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in Australia and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in India.

Q: How does `pdfimages` differ from `pdftoppm`? For the purpose of processing pdf with Scan Tailor (in order to remove the background of photographed pdf pages, or to split pdf pages) given that this program needs input of images - it cannot input pdf as such - I have used a command like pdftoppm MY_PDF NAME_OF_IMAGE -png to process a low quality pdf, and the resulting images were worse than the original pdf.

But with pdfimages tool from poppler-utils the results are as good as the original.
This stays true if a different variable than -png is used (or if no variable is used and the output is ppm).
I thought that from now on pdfimages is a better solution for my purpose, but then I have noticed that for many other pdf files that command is not good at all, as it gives fragments of image or text where pdftoppm gives normal text as expected.
Bad images if extracted from pdf with pdfimages viewed in Dolphin:

Correct images if extracted from the same pdf with pdftoppm viewed in Dolphin:

Why these differences?

A: The difference arises from the purpose of the tools. It becomes apparent once you realize that PDF is a flexible file format. It can contain text, vector graphics and raster images (this list is not exhaustive). You may think of it as "zip with layout information" (gross simplification).

*

*pdftoppm will "render" or "rasterize" the entire PDF. All text and graphics will become one rasterized output image.
Since the embedded raster images' pixels rarely line up with the pixels of the output "canvas", interpolation happens and quality decreases. This can be counteracted by increasing the output resolution (option -r) significantly. Of course, this means the file-size will grow, too.

*pdfimages will extract the raster images from the PDF file. Text or vector graphics are disregarded.
Since the raster images are extracted as they are, the original quality is preserved, but the information regarding the layout is lost.

The output may look similar if your input PDF contains exactly one raster image and nothing else.
In your examples, the photocopier's scanning function tried to identify blocks of text to store them with high quality. The rest of the document (e.g. white background) is stored in low quality to save storage space. As you found out, this may or may not work in one's favour.


I've just discovered some ads right here on this weblog, selling some of the very things I'm railing against. I'm sorry if anyone has seen any of them and found them to be exploitive or offensive. I've found them to be both.
I have contacted WordPress about the ads and if necessary will pay for an upgrade to keep them off my page and out of your sight. Please disregard them until I get the issue resolved. I understand the supposed necessity of ads on a free service but we shouldn't have to pay to keep from having a part in promoting what we are opposed to.
As I hope to resume regular updates this week and increase and rebuild readership, it will become increasingly important. For now I hope all ten or so of you have not been too put off by the ads!
Wow, has it really been a month and a half since my last post? Indeed, I have taken an unexpected, and frankly unwanted hiatus from much of my life outside of the things that keep my personal and interpersonal ship afloat. A lot has happened that has made me want to get on here and post but, as is so often the case when I'm burned out or burning out, I either have time, energy or neither but never both. Hopefully things will get back to (ab)normal around here soon. I'll start in the immediate future with an image post as I completed some prints last night. I'd like to see things get back on track soon as this little corner of the internet has become strangely important to me.

Cy Twombly: a market bulls-eye
The Centre Pompidou in Paris is preparing a large-scale Cy TWOMBLY exhibition that will run from 30 November 2016 to 24 April 2017, with around 140 works. As one of the French capital's major cultural events this coming autumn and as one of the most sought-after artists in the world, Artprice takes this opportunity to review Cy Twombly's market info and success story.
How Twombly became world famous
At the time of his first solo exhibition in 1951 at The Kootz Gallery in New York, Twombly's work was still influenced by Franz KLINE and Robert MOTHERWELL. Ten years later, his artistic vocabulary was substantially broader and his work had broken away from the dominant trends of the day. Aged 36, his career received a major boost when he was included in the 1964 Venice Biennale. A quarter of a century later, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, two major retrospectives (one in MNAM of Paris in 1988 and the other at New York's MoMA in 1994) considerably accelerated Twombly's global exposure and in 2001 he received the art world's ultimate distinction… the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale. Although the award had no immediate impact on his auction prices, a multi-venue exhibition in 2004 entitled CY Twombly, 50 years of drawings (St. Petersburg, Munich's Pinakothek, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Serpentine Gallery in London) triggered renewed interest. The retrospective honoured the career of an artist who was 76 at the time and whose international fame was already well established.
Rocketing prices
Since Twombly's 2004 itinerant exhibition, his auction prices have inflated by +479% and his works have become an essential component in all major prestige sales. However, the fastest price acceleration has occurred since his death in 2011, with impressive value increments and resales generating potential gains of several million dollars a year.
At the peak of this inflation, one of Twombly's untitled works from 1970 generated his auction record of $69.6 million at Christie's in New York (12 November 2014). That is the 31st best result in the history of Fine Art auctions and it put Twombly on a higher market plane than major Modern artists like Edouard Manet and Paul Cézanne… The canvas in question is from Twombly's Blackboard series and it had remained in the same private collection for forty years. Moreover, it beat the artist's previous auction record by a staggering $42.8 million, the most impressive Fine Art record differential ever recorded… equivalent to the total 2015 auction turnover ($42.3 million) of Belgium (the 16th marketplace in the world for Fine Art auction turnover).
7th most expensive artist in the world
In 2015, another work from the Blackboard series fetched an even better price when Untitled (New York City) (1968) set a new record for the artist at $70.5 million at Sotheby's on 11 November 2015. That's a couple of million more than the price paid for a rare Blue Period Picasso, La Gommeuse (1901), which fetched $67.5 million a week earlier at Sotheby's (5 November 2015).
During 2015 no less than 75 Twombly works changed hands at auction, generating a total of more than $223 million. That total gave Twombly seventh place in the global ranking of artists by annual auction turnover behind Picasso, Warhol, Monet, Modigliani, Giacometti and Bacon. A new cornerstone of Western prestige sales, Twombly's prices have above all managed a giant leap to catch-up with other Post-War American artists, including Jackson Pollock.
20% of prestige sale turnover…
This year, like last year, Twombly appears as the key signature in the success of the major Post-War and Contemporary art sales. On 10 February 2015, three of his works generated $17.8 million, nearly 10% of Sotheby's turnover that night. The following day, three more works produced $37.5 million at Christie's, more than 20% of the sale's total turnover.
Following these impressive results, the auctioneers decided to bank heavily on the Twombly signature in 2016. Sotheby's even contracted the film director John Waters to make a short film dedicated to the artist, which it then posted on its website… with very satisfactory results: Sotheby's sold two major works by Twombly on 11 May 2016 for nearly $52 million. Again, 21% of the evening's turnover was generated by Twombly's works.
The United States is the primary marketplace for Twombly, generating 73.5% of his auction turnover (between 2014 and 2016). However European collectors of the artist can find a wide range of works in the UK (29% of lots sold), Germany (11.5%), France (4%) and Italy (4.7%).
While only around ten paintings by the artist change hands each year, his market includes numerous drawings and watercolors on paper, some of which are accessible for less $15,000. In addition, sixty prints have been offered for sale over the last 12 months, from silk-screen prints at a few hundred dollars, to rare monotypes that fetch over $100,000.
