This process can occur at the Earth's surface or beneath the ground.
Heat begins to metamorphically change at a temperature of about degrees Celsius. One process that is quite active in periglacial regions is physical weathering due to the crystallization of water.
Geologists have developed a general model explain how most mountain ranges form. For most particles deposition is not a onetime event. The former is where something is tested; the latter is the untested group which provides a basis for the results of the experimental group.
Energy The survival of a living organism depends on the continuous input of energy. Time has a unique meaning to geoscientists.
Sitting on top of the core is the mantle. Flow within the stream channel is allways at a maximum at the center of the stream. These unfrozen layers are called taliks. Studies have discovered that these relationships can be view as laws because of their geometric or mathematical predictability.
For example, what is learned about the physiology of yeast cells can also apply to human cells. The Human Genome Project was the first step in a globalized effort to incorporate accumulated knowledge of biology into a functional, molecular definition of the human body and the bodies of other organisms.
These rocks are dominated by the minerals pyroxene, amphibole, and olivine. For example, a sequence of DNA that codes for insulin in humans also codes for insulin when inserted into other organisms, such as plants. In multicellular organismsevery cell in the organism's body derives ultimately from a single cell in a fertilized egg.
A number of processes involved in biological weathering are outlined.
A number of hillslopes are composed of large masses of Geology ch 1 study guide. The concept of glacier mass balance suggests that a glacier is influenced by two processes: It was also discovered that oceanic crust was destroyed at the oceanic trenches.
Some examples of these rocks are limestone, chalk, coal, and lignite. What are the two ideas founded in The Origin of Species. It was then that scholars discovered spermatozoabacteriainfusoria and the diversity of microscopic life.
The GCs then reduce the rate of secretion by the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland once a sufficient amount of GCs has been released.
In the previous lectures we learned that one of the by-products of rock weathering was the development of soils. The exposed top of this feature is called shield. Continental glaciers influenced landscapes on the regional and continental scale.
Erosion normally involves three processes: Sheets of permafrost can have unfrozen layers on top, beneath, or within it. Entrainment is the operation of lifting particles by and into the agent of erosion.
Now within the stream sediment can be carried in three ways: A number of geomorphic processes operate in periglacial regions. Wind also produces a variety of deposional features. We can describe a number of features within the stream channel. These bends are most obvious in sedimentary rocks that have beds of strata that were originally laid down horizontally.
Most earthquakes are the result of rock moving because of faults, tectonic subduction, or rifting. Living organisms are the source of the organic matter found in soils. This universal common ancestor of all organisms is believed to have appeared about 3.
After the detection of a perturbation, a biological system normally responds through negative feedback that stabilize conditions by reducing or increasing the activity of an organ or system. The first is patterned ground.
(1). Discuss in detail the formation of sedimentary rocks. Also, include in your answer information concerning their composition, lithification, and naming.

RIP: Jerry Robinson, creator of the Joker, is dead at 89
By Marc Bernardin, Source: Blastr.com,
While Bob Kane is justly celebrated as Batman's creator, his one-time inker and frequent collaborator Jerry Robinson was the man behind the Joker, comics' most enduring villain. He then went on to live a rich life, championing creators' rights and comics scholarship.
The New Jersey-born artist was 17 years old when Bob Kane recruited him to serve as Batman's inker and the two would share a fruitful collaboration: Robinson was instrumental in the addition of Robin, Alfred and the Joker to Batman's lexicon—though, as time passed, the two would disagree over who deserved credit for the Clown Prince of Crime. Robinson eventually left Kane and went to work for DC Comics itself as an in-house artist.
Robinson left comics for a while to study journalism, do political cartoons and editorial illustrations, but he'd return in the 1970s to begin curating museum exhibitions and gallery shows celebrating the art of comics. He'd also work with artist Neal Adams to help get Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster the recognition, and compensation, they deserved but had never received.
Robinson died in his sleep on December 8th, less than a month from his 90th birthday.

In 1894, Adolf Guyer-Zeller sketched out the plan for a railway from Kleine Scheidegg to the summit of the Jungfrau. He managed to obtain a licence and began construction in 1896. The opening of the railway, which operated using three-phase current, was implemented in stages: in 1898 as far as Eigengletscher, then to Rotstock in 1899, 1903 to Eigerwand and 1905 to Eismeer. On 1 August, Jungfrau Railways went into operation as far as Jungfraujoch, which remains the terminal station to this day.
In 1951, the 3.5 km adhesion railway section was also converted to cog rail operation, due to economic considerations. In 1960, the frequency was converted from 40 to 50 Hz and, in 1964, the overhead wire voltage was increased from 650 to 1,125 volts. From 1955–1964, ten railcars and control cars replaced the old Rowan trains. Since 1992, modern double railcars have been added to the rolling stock.
The book was published in 2003, it has 160 pages and its author is Florian Inäbnit.

Today, every other person complains about headaches, performance impairment and fatigue caused by changes in the weather. Are there ways to help weather-sensitive people?
These days life is stressful and it weakens our immune system in the first place. Therefore, any insignificance, like a small change in the weather, may influence on how we feel. A while ago it was only seniors and people with weakened health who felt the cyclone coming, now even healthy people experience discomfort. That especially relates to city-folk who, compared to people living in the country, are more sensitive to sudden weather changes.
So why is humane body sensitive to changing weather? Physics sees a human being as an electromagnetic contour. If the outer field is changing (which happens during sudden drops in air pressure or magnetic storms), it affects our body.
Our body starts adapting itself to new conditions, which results in altered tone of the blood vessels that are trying to maintain previous blood pressure level.
The first ones to react to weather fluctuations are people with cardiovascular diseases. Among the most vulnerable are people suffering from heart rhythm disorder, vegetative-vascular dystonia, hypertension and hypotension. Heart experts say magnetic storms double the number of heart attacks. Low atmospheric pressure is associated with even lower blood pressure in hypotensive patients that leads to fatigue, nervousness and sleepiness.
Hypertensive patients are vulnerable to a rise in air humidity and to an approaching high air pressure zone. People suffering from vegetative-vascular dystonia (pathological changes in the blood vessels) are influenced by any fluctuations in the nature.
People with chronic disorders of the nervous, urogenital, and immune systems also fall under the "weather-risk" category. By the way, the worse disorder is, the earlier a person starts feeling the change in the weather – not two hours prior to a snowfall or a magnetic storm, but a day or two earlier.
But there is a silver lining. If you try hard, you can dwindle weather sensitivity symptoms or fight them completely.
Focus on your diseases because weather changes always temporarily aggravate the existing health problems.
Evaluate your thyroid gland: iodine deficiency promotes weather-sensitivity.
Reduce or cut out drinking caffeinated beverages.
Support your immune system with adaptogens such as ginseng, Chinese magnolia vine, vitamins C and E. Physical activity will do you good, like jogging and walking that fortify the blood vessels to a great extent and strengthen the nervous system. Alternating shower is also an excellent training for the blood vessels.
Whatever the weather, try to spend as much time as possible in the fresh air.
If you have hypertension, keep yourself as warm as possible in cold and windy weather.
If you have hypotension, start your day with physical exercises to boost your blood circulation.
And the last and one of the most important weather sensitivity treatment tips – check on weather forecasts. It is smart to reduce the activity (both mental and physical) before unfavorable days.

Discussion in 'Google TV Help' started by TitormzLGG255, Jul 17, 2014.
What's up guys, new to this forum. I have an LG Google tv, 55in Led Smart tv, G2 series. Been trying to do my research on what exactly might be wrong/how to fix it, but, nothing. I need y'all's help. Maybe someone can provide info on deciphering this puzzle.
Are you sure that your remote is working? Are the batteries fresh? I don't own the LG television but on most TVs there should also be physical controls (buttons) on the TV to turn it on & off. Have you tried turning on the TV directly from the button on the TV?
Yes, I've actually called customer service and they ran me through some basic trouble shooting, but nothing that got my screen to turn on. Now, you mentioned the "pulling the plug out" was that from both ends or one end in particular? Because I did pull it out of the plug and even tried different outlets to see if that changed anything, but still nothing.
The remote should be ok, I switched out the batteries a while back and also I use my Xfinity remote to turn it on most of the time. Costumer service for me to try turning it on from the actual tv but nothing happened. It just flashes red from an led at the bottom. Does one short flash, followed by two longer flashes.
Is there a reset button on the LG Google TV models, not the remote but the set itself? If so of course try that if it hasn't already been tried. I used to use the reset button on my Logitech Revue once in a while, it appeared to do more than just unplugging or rebooting.
The reset procedure for LG TV's using the physical buttons were posted in the Google TV Community and if you do this read each step carefully as you never know if this will fix the problem or make it worse if you do something wrong.
It was used by others in the past when an update made the tvs load a waiting screen and would not get past that and the number for lg's customer service is on that page as well in case you want to verify the steps work for your tv.
Before resetting it , make sure your tv is switched to the right input as your tv may be on when you see those lights flash red but your channel input is showing a channel with no signal.
Thanks. I looked up the procedure for the reboot.. And still no hope Wife's begun talk for buying a new tv but this one in particular was extremely expensive and to good to just be laid waste. I just don't want to spend a third of it's price in repairs.

Duluth has endless choices of great hikes in its forests, mountains and stunning shoreline. However, one of the most unique and surprising hikes at the end of Park Point. Just beyond the vibrant Canal Park shops and restaurants, a hidden oasis stretches far into Lake Superior. The Park Point Trail includes miles of beach and forest paths through old growth pines. It's a wonderful place to escape the crowds, spot some wildlife and enjoy endless views of the water and the Duluth skyline. Guests at the Solglimt Bed and Breakfast appreciate the convenient access to Canal Park and being close to downtown Duluth. While also loving the quiet waterfront location with beautiful views from our many porches and decks. Book your stay with us before summer slips away and take advantage of the best vacation location in Duluth.
Visitors get both a forest and a beach hike on this 4 mile round trip trail. Located on the a thin stretch of land between Lake Superior and Duluth Harbor it offers special views not found anywhere else. Early birds love to hike out to the beach, coffee in hand, and admire the sunrise over the water. Watch float planes land in the bay, photograph Duluth's city skyline, and wave to boats entering the harbor.
Since the area has been protected the trail has many amazing old growth pines. Keep an eye out for the herd of white tailed deer that make their home in this forest sanctuary. The red and white pines are also home to many majestic raptors including Merlin falcons. The sandy beach section of the trail also offers great bird watching. Many shore birds run along the beach and nest in the wildflower covered dunes. A variety of songbirds can be seen perching in the trees that border the grassy patches.
This hike even has some history complete with ruins to explore. Check out the brick ruins of Lake Superior's first lighthouse built in 1858. There's also an abandoned US Army Corps of Engineers boat house and remnants of settlers cabins.
When our guests are looking for a peaceful hike we're pleased to direct them to this lovely, nearby trail. Not many hikes have dunes, ancient pines, grassy meadows, all with stunning water views and we're lucky to have one just minutes from our door. Reserve your room at our tranquil retreat on the shores of Lake Superior and discover the hidden treasures in Park Point.

In the year 1633, the tiny Bavarian village of Oberammergau was in the terrifying grip of the Great Plague. At that time, the villagers vowed that if their community was spared, they would stage a play every 10 years about the suffering of Jesus Christ. It's a tradition that's been upheld for more than 380 years, and in 2020 the Passion Play will be performed for the 42nd time.
The play takes place on a huge open-air stage against the stunning backdrop of the magnificent Bavarian Alps. The auditorium is completely covered and offers seating for almost 5,000 people. Around 2,000 amateur actors, musicians and technicians are involved and by law, they must all have lived in Oberammergau for at least 20 years. Telling the story of Christ's passion, beginning with his entry into Jerusalem and ending with the resurrection and transfiguration, the play features music written in 1815 by school teacher Rochus Dedler. It's an epic production, with performances starting at 2.30pm, and finishing, after a threehour interval, at around 10.30pm.
Your holiday includes a category 3 ticket. If you choose to upgrade to a category 2 ticket your accommodation in Oberammergau will also be upgraded to a 4-star hotel*. The exact location of your seat at the Passion Play will be confirmed upon arrival.

In this, our last video on transitions related to nap or rest time, we're looking at how best to help children awaken and then go quietly to prepared learning centers or into a group led by a teacher doing quiet activities. Children have varying body rhythms (I know it takes me a long time to wake up!), so they should be allowed 15 to 20 minutes following nap or rest time for quiet activities.

Taiwan is is a stunning island nation that is smacked right between the countries of Japan and the Philippines. In fact, as someone who has grown up in the islands of Batanes (the northernmost place in the Philippines), Taiwan has since been a destination that I've wanted to visit. After all, we are actually closer to its borders so our radios would often pick up their stations; plus, our dialect (Ivatan) is even linguistically similar to the Taiwanese aborigine languages — that being said, these were enough reasons to pique my curiosity of Taiwan.
So it's all thanks to KKday that I was finally able to visit this year! The interesting part about it…? I did it together with a lucky reader of mine (Robelle) who won my recent #iAndAileen Taiwan giveaway.
We only had 3 days to spare… but! We definitely had a great time as we explored the bustling capital of Taipei as well as the lush terrains that filled up the rest of the island.
With that said and done, let me share with you our 3-day Taiwan itinerary! I'll pack it together with important infos, tips, resources, and other activity suggestions; so go ahead and copy, customize, shorten or lengthen the below guide as dependent on the length of your stay or the style of traveling that you will do.
I hope this helps! Do let me know.
Come and check out my list of the 'Best Hotels in Taipei' which features the top recommended choices for cheap to luxurious accommodation choices.
Taiwan enjoys 4 seasons, but they're not as pronounced given that it generally has a humid subtropical climate. The seasons are divided in the following months and it's best to either visit in late spring (April to May) or autumn (best in November) if you want comfortable temperatures.
Spring: March to May, pleasant temperature / Average lows at 15ºC to 22ºC and average highs at 19ºC to 27ºC.
Where to get the best flight promos to Taiwan?
Taiwan's main international getaway is Taoyuan International Airport which is 40km southwest of Taipei. It is connected to the center via the Taoyuan Airport MRT and HSR Taoyuan Station (single trip price at no more than NT$160 / USD$5 / Php 260~). As such, I highly suggest buying a Taiwan High-Speed Rail Unlimited Pass which gives you unlimited rides on Taiwan's THSR train network — including the train to and fro the airport.
There are also buses linking to the airport (you can buy a discounted roundtrip shuttle bus from the Airport to Taipei and vice versa here), but if you rather want a taxi, a one-way fare can cost a minimum of NT$900.
If you want utmost convenience and ease, especially without having to lug around your luggage, I suggest booking a private transfer to your hotel for only Php 1,000+ (or $23~). This works best if you're coming together with other people so that you can share the cost and save more!

There are domestic flights carried out by EVA, Mandarin Airlines, and UNI Air. However, unless you're traveling to the smaller islands of Taiwan, the trains are still the best option for going around the country as well as in Taipei.
For high-speed trains all over the island, there are 2 systems: Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR/HSR) and Taiwan Railway Administration.
For within Taipei, the city has an efficient Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system that's also called as Metro Taipei. Other than single journery tickets, there are rechargable IC cards and there is also the Taipei Pass. I recommend getting this pass because it gives unlimited rides not only on the MRT but also on public buses (for Taipei City and New Taipei City).
For more info about the Taipei Pass, go here. Alternatively you can also get a Taiwan High-Speed Rail Unlimited Pass. As for navigating through the public transportation, use Google Maps to know how to get from one place to another. To stay connected online, you can rent a pocket wifi via KKday which you can easily pick up at the airport.
Should I get a visa to visit Taiwan?
Taiwan has various visa regulations. Depending on your nationality, you can be qualified for visa exemption, visa on arrival, eVisa, or an Online Travel Authorization Certificate (for more info, see here).
An ordinary/regular passport with remaining validity of at least 6 months from the date of entry (diplomatic & official passport holders are not eligible for visa-free treatment).
A return ticket or a ticket to your next destination (and a visa for that destination if it is required).
No criminal record in Taiwan (the immigration in Taiwan will check this themselves upon your arrival).
As applicable, a proof of accommodation/hotel booking, host/sponsor's contact information, or arrangements of tour, travel, visit, events and meeting etc.
About 80% of the Taiwanese population speaks Mandarin Chinese. Rest assured, English is commonly used by the locals and you won't have a hard time conversing with it especially in places like Taipei. As you venture outside of the capital though, it will become harder; but, it's nothing that finger pointing or Google Translate can't solve. For a start, here are some sample phrases in Mandarin.
Is there someone here who speaks English?: Zhèlĭ yǒu rén hùi shuō Yīngyǔ ma?
Before I begin with the itinerary guide, if in case you're more of a visual person, you can already watch my travel video/vlog below!
Take note that the 3-day Taiwan itinerary below does not take into account your arrival day in Taipei — at any rate, if you're staying longer in the city, you can make use of the last tab called as 'Extras' to see the other activities or trips you can do for filling up the rest of your vacation days.
Once you arrive in the heart of Taipei, go and quickly enjoy its iconic landmarks as well as its busy night markets and colorful culture! With that, I'll be listing the top attractions in the city; however, it would be impossible to thoroughly visit EVERYTHING (unless you swiftly go through every location).
That's why, depending on your interests, pick the best places that you'd like to see within the day as based on the descriptions that I'll be providing below (my top favorites are marked with a star ★); and then, you can visit the rest during your other free time or during your other trip days if you're staying longer than 3 days in Taiwan.
Formerly known as the Taipei World Financial Center, Taipei 101 was once called as the world's tallest building in 2004 — until Burj Khalifa in Dubai was completed in 2010. Either way, nowadays, it holds the highest award as the tallest and largest green building in the world according to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). By now, I'm sure you've heard of this building before; after all, it serves as an icon of modern Taiwan (though it was initially built as a symbol of the evolution of technology and Asian tradition).
5F Taipei 101 Mall: The floor where you can purchase tickets and take the Guinness World Record high-speed elevator to the observatory on the 89th floor (it travels at 1,010 metres/min or 60.6kph, taking only 37 seconds total). However, it's best to purchase online to get a discounted price — I will discuss this in the detail in the 'admission' section below.
89F Indoor Observatory: Offers unobstructed views of Taipei. It also has a museum where you can learn about the construction of Taipei 101.
88F Beauty of Taiwan Multimedia Corridor, Super Big Wind Damper, Treasure Sky: The highlight of this floor is their 5.5m (in dimater) and 660 ton wind damper that's built in the core of the tower. Apparently, this amazing technology helps keep the building from swaying and helps keep it stand upright. Meanwhile, Treasure Sky is a place where you can find jewel crafts.
91F Outdoor Observatory: This is accessible via the stairs from the 89th floor, but since the winds can get quite strong, this floor is only open on days when the weather is favorable. Anyhow, inside, you will find a small theatre that features films about the annual New Years fireworks display set off from Taipei 101.
ADMISSION: General ticket is NT$600 (students are charged NT$540 and children under 115cm are charged free). However, if you book online with KKday, you will only pay around NT$500! With this, you not only get a discount but you also don't have to wait in a long line.
This is yet another great place for acquiring great views over Taipei — especially if you're into doing some mild hiking! Also known as the Nangang District Hiking Trail or Xiangshan, the hiking trail up to Elephant Mountain is found close to the Xinyi Shopping District and Taipei 101. The whole steep hike takes about 15 to 20 minutes only one-way.
HOURS: It's best to avoid coming here during weekends because it can get crowded. For the best times to hike, it will be during the late afternoon so that you can catch the daylight, sunset and nighttime views of Taipei.
This is home to the largest permanent collection of ancient Chinese artifacts and artworks (spanning over 700,000 pieces)! They cover about 8,000 years of Chinese art history from Neolithic to modern age; plus, most of them are high quality pieces that were collected by China's emperors — which means that a lot of them were rooted from the Palace Museum in Beijing's Forbidden City. With such a number, it helps to note though that the exhibits continuously rotate because only a small number can be displayed at a time in order to properly preserve them. Still, it's quite an impressive collection that's worth visiting if you're into Chinese culture and history!
Upon admission, you could also access the beautiful garden nearby called as Zhishan Garden. Not too far away would also be the Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines which could be accessed for free once you pay the entrance for the National Palace Museum. (TIP: The National Palace Museum holds free English tours at 10AM and 3PM; book online beforehand to reserve your spot. Whereas the Shung Ye features free tours at 2PM every weekend; no booking required).
PROMO: Book with KKday to purchase your admission ticket since it is cheaper with them.
This recognizable building in Taipei was originally built to act as the Office of the Governor-General during the Japanese colonial period, but it has since been renovated after it was partially destroyed during World War II. By the end of the Chinese Civil War, it served as the Presidential Office Building of the Kuomintang leadership in the city. As such, this is a great place to stop over if you want to learn more about the country's past in terms of political development.
Built in memory of the former President of the Republic of China, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, this monument is a prominent historical landmark in Taiwan that was opened in 1980 as part of the national park. The square is actually officially called as Liberty Square but the name was changed due to political motivations, and due to people still commonly referring to it as the CKS Memorial Hall.
TRIVIA: The 8 sides of the octagon-shaped building represent the number 8 which is often traditionally associated with fortune and wealth as per Chinese symbolism. Meanwhile, the 2 sets of 89 steps represent Chiang Kai-shek's age of death (and you will find a bronze statue of him at the main hall). One of the great spectacles of this hall too, is the hourly changing of the guards on either side of the statue.
This is another memorial hall, but this time around, it's dedicated to the founder of the Republic of China: Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Once you enter the premises, you will find displays showing his accomplishments that spanned from the revolution during and after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. But other than this, the hall is also often used for various performances and exhibitions. You could even enjoy the surrounding park called as Zhongshan Park which features gardens, decorative historical walls, and Lake Cui or Emerald Pond that has a nearby exhibition area.
Officially called as the National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine, this basically marks the memory of almost 400,000 soldiers who died during the war against the communist in mainland China. The complex, which was built in 1969, is a typical example of the northern 'palace style' architecture that was popularised during Chiang Kai-shek's reign.
For most visitors, much like the CKS Memorial Hall, the Martyrs' Shrine's is known for its changing of the guards or soldiers at the front gate. This event happens every hour until 5PM and lasts for about 20 minutes. Once you're done watching the guards, just don't forget to make the most of your stay and explore the surrounding architecture.
This is a beautiful Taiwanese Taoist temple that received a UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Award for both its restoration and revival qualities of temple rites and festivities. Dedicated to the Taoist saint, Baosheng Dadi, this 900sqm temple is an exquisite structure that is a great example of the traditional decorative arts. If you time your visit from March to June, you could even witness the popular Baoshen Cultural Festival where you can watch parade tours, fire-walking rituals, lion dances, Taiwanese opera performances, puppet shows, and other cultural presentations. For an accurate schedule of the events, see the temple's website.
The mountain village of Maokong is the best spot in Taipei that offers a stunning panoramic view of the city — not to mention, they also have a wide variety of high-quality local tea. To reach this village, you must take the Maokong Gondola which is a 4-km scenic cable car ride.With their Crystal Cabins or glass-bottom cars, you will be rewarded with amazing views and angles not only over the metropolis but also over the lush Zhinan River as you make your way up to Maokong (the ride spans for about 30 minutes).
This is one of the largest and oldest well-known temples in Taiwan that's located in the historic Wanhua district. Said to have been built in 1738 by Fujian settlers as a gathering place for Chinese settlers, Longshan Temple has since been rebuilt multiple times after destruction by earthquakes, typhoons and WWII bombings. Today, it stands as a Taiwanese worship house for a mixture of Buddhist, Taoist and deities such as Matsu (or the goddess of the sea).
Taiwan is a haven for foodies so when the night starts to creep in, choose from any of the night markets below to stuff yourself full!
Other than eating, you can also shop for clothes if you stroll through the nearby Clothing Shopping Outlet in Wufenpu, or you could also visit the Ciyou Temple which is at the eastern end of the night market.
Also called as "Snake Alley", Huahsi is conveniently found next to Longshan Temple, as well as 2 other markets namely Guangzhou and Wuzhou. There is a wide range of food items that you can find here but the most famous ones would be the dishes made from snakes and turtles. If you're up for something this exotic, do try the snake soup! For something more 'normal', try the famous Tainan dan-dan noodles.
This is one of the largest and most popular night market in Taiwan to tourists. With its maze of alleyways, you can find a variety of local, traditional and international merchandise — local cuisines included, of course! So make sure that you stop by the underground foodie paradise at the western side of the market. Some of the things to try are: oyster vermicelli, fried pork buns, bubble tea, stinky tofu, and oyster omelet.
This is a short walking distance from Taipei 101 and it's the best night market to visit if you want something more local and less touristy. Other than clothing and other merchandises, there are food stalls here that sell sushi, steaks, and dumplings among many other things.
You must NEVER leave Taiwan without tasting the top local fares of xiaolongbao, beef noodles soup and bubble tea! For one of the best places to taste these, head on over to King Ping Chayu. With KKday's "Duet Course Meal" you'll get to enjoy this HUGE feast for just NT$890!
Taipei's night markets can easily fill you up for dinner. So go and take your pick from any of the previous night markets that I've mentioned, and you're sure to enjoy the night away!
After you had your fill of some of Taipei's key attractions, it's time to venture out of the city to discover northern Taiwan's wonders!
Yehliu Geopark: This beautiful limestone cape has a range of interesting rock/geological formations that have been aptly named according to their shape (example: Fairy's Shoe and Queen's Head).
Shifen Old Streets and Shifen Waterfall: Found in Pingxi area, Shifen is basically a small town that surrounds the Shifen railway station. This place is famous not only for its picturesque train tracks and marketplace, but also for its shops that let you release a Chinese sky lantern — in case you can't make it to their official Sky Lantern Festival (held usually on the 15th day of the first month in the lunisolar Chinese calendar). Another nearby attraction that you can find is the 20-meter tall Shifen Waterfall which is said to be the most scenic in Taiwan.
Jiufen: Once a prosperous gold mining town, Jiufen is now a popular tourist destination for its quaint scenes that relive scenes from the past. In here, you will find picturesque streets and tea houses adorned with red lanterns and some great spots for viewing the Pacific Ocean! If you're a fan of Miyazaki's "Spirited Away", you must visit Jiufen since most of the scenes from the movie were inspired from this place.

Dubbed as the 'Harajuku' of Taipei, this is the trendy shopping and nightlife haven in the city that has a wide selection of shops, restaurants, clubs and bars found all throughout its streets. In fact, the moment that I stepped here, it really made me feel like I visited Shibuya in Japan! That being said, before the day ends, go and shop here 'til you drop — or if you're more into clubs and bars, there is an array of choices for you.
This is the internationally-famous Taiwanese restaurant that makes great-tasting xiaolongbao (a kind of tasty soup dumpling); therefore, no trip to Taiwan is complete without visiting one of its branches — especially its original Taipei branch found in Xinyi Road. Regrettably… the drawback is that there can be an insanely long wait because a lot of travelers also want to get a taste of this place. My advice? Visit in the morning to try and skip the lines!
TIP: If you are pressed on time and can't dedicate hours-long of waiting at Din Tai Fung, you can get some great tasting xiaolongbao at either King Ping Chayu or Kao Chi.
If you want great discounted/packaged meals in Taipei, check out KKday. They have choices from hot pots, lobster sets, beef noodles, and more! (Otherwise, you can also revisit the night markets for a meal).
This day is for witnessing yet another example of Taiwan's grandeur when it comes to natural landscapes.
Alishan or "Mount Ali" is Taiwan's most visited national park. Due to its elevation, you will find interesting flora in its 'Giant Forest' that is full of towering 2,000-year old giant Taiwanese red cypresses. The area also enjoys a cooler climate and an erratic weather pattern so you can experience a cloudless morning with denser clouds of mist or fog in the latter part of the day, and then followed by a lightning storm and some rain (so make sure to pack an umbrella and a jacket).
If you ride the famous Alishan Mountain Railway, you can also visit several key locations in the national park via the Sacred Tree Line, Zhushan Line (for sunrise views over the Jade Mountain), and Mianyuei Line. For hiking-lovers, there are several great trails that you can go through in this location such as the path that leads to the Giant Tree of Mt. Shuishan (the oldest tree in the park at 2,700 years old).
Fenqihu: This is a medieval mountain railroad town near Alishan. Make sure that you visit its old narrow streets to shop for interesting souvenirs to bring back home, to see its old railway museum, as well as to eat their famous 'Fenqihu lunch box' at the original restaurant that serves it (found underneath 7/11 on the main road — NT$100 only for takeaway or NT$120 for eating it on the spot).
National Chungcheng University: If you're a fan of the old Taiwanese drama show called as 'Meteor Garden', this university will surely look familiar to you (since this is where it was filmed after all). Modeled after the British Cambridge University and built by the Taipei 101 designer (Li Zuyuan), this is a scenic spot surrounded by green vistas accentuated by a picturesque bridge. In fact, a lot of newlyweds come here to shoot because of its magnificent terrain.
Rest assured, since this is a private chartered tour, you can tell your driver about the places that you rather want to visit in Chiayi, if in case the above locations don't suit your tastes or if you want to spend more time in a certain place. Feel free to ask your English-speaking driver too about any tips on places to eat because they're very knowledgeable of the area.
MEETING POINT: Chiayi HSR Station (to get here from Taipei, you need to book an HSR train. Book a ticket, or you can also book an unlimited pass especially if you're staying longer in Taiwan and plan to visit other places outside of Taipei).
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: If you want to explore Alishan by yourself, once you reach Chiayi station, take the direct bus to Alishan for about NT$300 (one way) which runs between 10:00AM to 11:30AM. There are also non-direct buses that cost NT$221 each way. Take note that the last bus to Alishan is at 2PM and the last bus back to Chiayi leaves at 5:10PM (found near Alishan's 7-11 store).
Once you're back in Taipei after your day tour, this would be the perfect time to see the other historical landmarks or night markets that you haven't managed to visit! (Refer to the list I've made under Day #1 to see the number of choices).

Lyngen 2015: I'll ski that for sure!
Lyngen 2015: I'll ski that for sure!
After last year's ski trip to northern Norway, I was left awed by the beauty of the area but unsatisfied. High avalanche danger stymied all possibility to ski anything close to 30 degrees. This year, we went to Lyngen in early May, and were treated to a week of some of the best ski mountaineering I've experienced. What follows is a summary of our trip.
Audun and I arrived in Tromsø to find our hosts, Yngve and Sanna, seven months expecting their first child. We were surprised that they hadn't seen fit to tell us about it beforehand, but excited they still wanted to go skiing with us.
I took this picture so Sanna can show her kid what a bada** mother she is!
It was a beautiful, sunny day, but windy on some aspects, so it took us a couple of tries (read: driving back and forth and gauging the wind in different valleys) before we finally settled on Fugldalsfjellet.
The gang heads up the mountain.
Due to the advanced stage of pregnancy of our hostess, we only climbed the first 1200 vertical meters of the mountain, stopping at a shoulder 400 vertical below the summit for a long break.
Sanna and Yngve relax in the sun at our highpoint on Fugldalsfjellet.
Audun still hasn't realized that skiing actually is supposed to happen on the snow.
…although it was a little rocky at the end.
The next day, we picked my sister Zoe, who goes to university in Tromsø, and headed for Blåtinden.
We were hoping for similar conditions as the day before, and were elated to feel the sun warming the snow again, although there were some clouds across the fjord. A thousand vertical of fairly easy skiing brought us to a top with a magnificent view of Lyngen, and a really cool summit cairn.
The summit cairn was hollow - you could sit inside it!
Unfortunately, it clouded over just as we got ready to descend. With the cold air temps, this was enough to freeze the partially melted snow, turning it into hard ice. Not the best descent of the trip, but still a nice ski.
The next, it was just Audun and I. What with the low avalanche danger, we decided to try for a top in the Lakselv Massif. To access this massif, you have to climb up the imposing, massive Tomas Couloir. Every since I hear about this I'd wanted to do it, but I was just a little nervous. With the low avalanche danger and good weather, this was our chance.
We were able to skin up the first section of mountain before it got too steep and icy, and we put on our crampons for the first time during the trip.
What followed was a long, seemingly endless slog up the couloir. The snow was hard on the bottom but loose on top, and the steepness was such that skiing uphill without ski crampons was impossible. So we booted it, sinking 20 cm into the snow with each step. Audun broke trail, which may be the only reason I made it to the top - it was hard going!
According to our guide book, the couloir should have been no more than 35 degrees, but we measured it at 38-40 degrees on three separate occasions on our climb up. This is steep enough to make me slightly uncomfortable on the whole climb, and I was relieved to finally clamber over the lip onto the magical glacier in the center on the massif, aptly named the Heavenly Place of Peace.
The weather had started to turn, so we had a quick lunch before heading for the final 200 vertical to Tomastind. Store Lakselvstind, the largest peak in the massif, was a sheer wall behind us as we climbed upward.
Audun, dwarfed by Store Lakselvstind. The Tomas couloir exits onto the lip in the left edge of the picture.
The clouds really came in as we booted the last section to the top of the mountain. Due to a tricky, exposed move, I turned a few meters below the summit while Audun went all the way to the top. Apparently I wasn't missing out on much of a view.
The ski down was a struggle; I was too tense to have fun the couloir. I didn't want to slide or loose control, so I did extremely carefuly, slow turns, skittering on the hard layer below the soft surface snow and clenching my thigh muscles tight with each turn. I was obeying the primary rule of skiing: go with gravity! Audun seemed to be enjoying himself more, however.
"Jump off that rock and I'll take a picture!"
I was exhausted and elated at the end of the day. We had done it! We had conquered the Tomas couloir!
We were pretty tired after the Tomas couloir, and had a halfhearted attempt on Lille Piggtind before deciding to take a rest day.
We lounged around our campsite, feeling slightly guilty that we were wasting such good weather but quietly knowing we would need this rest for what was coming.
Audun at what might possibly be the world's most beautiful campsite by the fjord.
Late that evening, our friends Vibeke and David arrived from Oslo. They were stoked and wanted to do a big day tomorrow if the weather allowed.
We had our sights set on Jiekkevarri, the tallest mountain on the Lyngen penninsula. It's light out all the time in northern Norway at this time of year, so we were lazy and got a late start by mountaineering standards. The lower part of the route weaved through a maze of partially exposed rocky forest; it wouldn't be long until this section was no longer skiable.
Audun, David and Vibeke at the base of the climb.
The weather had stayed just as beautiful as the day before, and I was happy I had rested and had legs to climb.
David leads the group into the bowl below Holmbuktind. It was sweltering in this bowl, and all of us were down to the bare minimum of clothes.
We had to strap our skis on our packs for the climb up from the bowl to the ridge that lead to the top of Holmbuktind.
It was a long way to the top of Holmbuktind, the neighboring peak that you essentially have to pass over on the main route to Jiekkevarri. The finally stretch to the top was on an exposed ridge with dropped to a valley far below on either side.
Almost there! You just have to get across that steep, corniced piece of ridge!
On top of Holmbuktind, we looked over at Jiekkevarri and considered our options.
Vibeke and David arriving at the top of Holmbuktind. Jiekkevarri is the dome in the far right of the picture; the dome in center is a peak called Kveita.
The climb to Jiekkevarri wasn't very appealing; a short ski downhill, before a steep headwall and then a long slog on a flat glacier. In the end, we decided that 1600 vertical meters was actually enough for one day and enjoy the incredible view around us before heading down.
I really enjoyed the ski down, cruising through turns instead of clenching the way I had in the day before.
Shadows had started to set in on the slopes as we skied down and we were glad we had turned; if we had waited any longer, the snow might have hardened like on Blåtinden!
The next day, Dad flew in from Trondheim, and he and Zoe met Vibeke, David, Audun and I at the base of Rasmustind. Zoe and Dad had taken a wrong turn on the way, and we were a little grumpy by the time they arrived. The weather was still beautiful though, so everyone was back to enjoying life by the time we got our skins on and headed out.
Zoe and Dad with the Lakselv massif in the background.
The clouds started to come in on some of the neighboring peaks, but mostly held off on Rasmustind.
Clouds on Durmålstind but sun on David, Dad and Zoe!
The final 300 vertical meters to the summit were a steep flank of 30-35 degrees. The snow was a bit hard and I was happy there were some old tracks to give me purchase.
David and Vibeke on the summit cairn of Rasmustind.
The ski down wasn't half bad, although the conditions were variable and challenging.
Looking back at our tracks from the top - sweet!
Dad in the shadow of Rasmustind - our route went up the flank behind the ridge in the left of the picture.
For our final day, we decided to try for a classic on Kvaløya, one of the big islands that surrounds Tromsø. Some friends of Vibeke and David had skied it the day before and reported a steep, ice pitch at the beginning of the climb. Unfortunately, Audun, Zoe, Dad and I didn't get this information until arriving at the base on the mountain… with no crampons.
There was just enough old bootmarks in the snow that we could get up this first steep pitch. I wished I had crampons though. Had there been any more truly icy patches we wouldn't have made it up. Next time I'll remember to through my crampons in the car, even if I don't think I need them.
More booting below majestic mountains.
The intermittent clouds turned into thick fog as we climbed onto the summit glacier.
There were just enough gaps to allow us passage to the top, although I was glad there were at least 3 gps watches making tracks in our little group. The top of Store Hollendaren formed a weather divide, with fog on the glacier we had skinned up and sun on the steep cliff and fjord on the back side of the mountain.
Audun, Vibeke and David with the fjord 1000 meters below in sun in the background.
The weather opened up slightly on the ski down, yielding some good cruising on the way down the glacier.
Upon chatting with some other skiers, we discovered there was an alternative to skiing the icy slope we had clambered up at the begining, in the form of a couloir shrouded by two rock walls. It was a little daunting, but we decided it would be better than the alternative and made our way down it one-by-one.
David (foreground) and Dad (background) descend the final couloir on Store Hollendaren.
After over 8000 vertical meters in a week, my legs were happy to get on the plane home. My heart, however, is very much stuck in the beautiful mountains of Lyngen. I'll be back!
I have the same problem with mountains in the springtime. Always pack crampons in the car. Beautiful shots! Not only is your friend badass, all of you are too!

"We simply don't have the time to waste attention, intelligence, manpower and funding for fantasy technologies that might or might not work, more likely, some time in the 2030s or 2040s, while affordable concepts from efficiency to renewables are readily available," Schneider said, referring to the fourth-generation of nuclear power plants that several governments across the planet are presenting as a viable option. "Gen IV designs are PowerPoint reactors – they don't exist. And the best example is Bill Gates, who started a company in 2006 to develop and promote a new design. Fifteen years later, he has nothing to show – no licensed design anywhere, no site, no prototype."
Renewables vs. Nuclear: 256-0 PV Magazine, SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 EMILIANO BELLINI
The latest World Nuclear Industry Status Report shows that the world's operational nuclear capacity grew by just 400 MW in 2020, with generation falling by 4%. By contrast, renewables grew by 256 GW and clean energy production rose by 13%. "Nuclear power is irrelevant in today's electricity capacity market," the report's main author, Mycle Schneider, told pv magazine.
Global nuclear power capacity including grew by just 400 MW in 2020, according to the latest annual edition of the World Nuclear Industry Status Report, published by French nuclear consultant Mycle Schneider. The lackluster results for nuclear compare to 256 GW of newly deployed renewable energy capacity last year, including 127 GW of PV and 111 of wind power.
Nuclear power is irrelevant in today's electricity capacity market," the report's main author, French nuclear consultant Mycle Schneider, told pv magazine, noting that power generation from nuclear power dropped by 4%, while non-hydro renewables increased by 13%.
According to the report, the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of solar PV dropped by approximately 90% over the past few years, while the LCOE of nuclear energy climbed by around 33%.
Schneider claimed that the recent small modular reactor realizations in Russia and China are perfect demonstrations of the failure of the designs, as the floating reactors in Russia took 13 years to build – almost four times longer than anticipated. The small modular reactors in China also took a decade or more to be built.
"None of these designs are licensed in any Western country," Schneider explained. "The only design licensed in a single Western country, NuScale in the U.S., is years behind schedule. Construction has not even started and a first unit is not expected to start operating before the end of the decade."
Stagnating landscape
The report, which analyzes new-build programs in 33 nuclear countries and other potential newcomer countries, notes that 415 nuclear reactors were operating at the end of June throughout the world. That's two less than by the end of June 2020, three less than in 2019, and 23 less than the 2002 peak of 438 GW. The operating plants have a combined capacity of 369 GW, which is 1.9% more than a year earlier. The authors of the report also noted that 278 reactors have been in operation for more than 31 years and that six of them have been operating for more than 50 years.
At the end of June, there were 53 new reactors under construction, totaling 54 GW and up 500 MW from the end of June 2020.
"All reactors under construction in at least 12 of the 17 countries have experienced, mostly year-long, delays," the report said. "At least 31 of the building projects are delayed."
The report shows that only five of the 13 reactors that had to come online last year were actually completed. Two of the projects under construction were started 36 years ago. …………
The report also shows that total investment in the construction of the 2020 projects was around $18.3 billion, but for only 5 GW of capacity. A total of $303.5 billion was invested globally in non-hydro renewables over the same time period, including 132 GW of PV and 73 GW of wind, it said.
The LCOE of PV in the United States dropped from $64/MWh in 2015 to $37 in 2020. By contrast, the LCOE of nuclear power rose from $117 to $163 per MWh, said the researchers…………. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2021/09/28/renewables-vs-nuclear-256-0/

BikeForce: Elements - Bike or Die!
I'm with Vega on this level, it definitely needs to be redone to have at least some flow to it, I really dislike pits that require you to brake on the walls to descend. I've learned how to deal with them fine myself, but the BoD community is small and for the most part only getting smaller.
One of the many complaints about the game is that it is simply too hard, mechanics like that drive players away very quickly, even if a new player can't get gold or even compete with gold times on a level, they should be able to reach the finish flag without any absolutely exhaustive time spent.
Kenn - are you able to design? Please feel free to try your hand at fixing it!!
It's getting about that new levelpack time again isn't it.
Bones PLEASE submit your CMR pack, that would be just awesome! Go into a shop and use the demo Palms (like AT& T or somewhere like that - Sprint usually have demos). Actually that's a stupid idea. Steal a businessman's Palm or something. Or actually, just use the simulator. I have the simulator working fine in my PC (Win Vista, Core 2 Duo).
Oh BTW I am working on another three level LP along the same lines as this, but the last level won't be impossible!
YES! It is time for another hof pack it should have at least one of bones cmr levels in it, 5 of pinerd levels(his next 3 and the present 2 not including the hardest one) and my climb level(PLEASE )..
The Sim I uploaded is a full PalmOS 6 Sim with complete support for all compatible apps, databases etc.
I gave him a custom isntaller with BoD and all the levelpacsk preinstalled with a custom hack to use the controls he wanted . All in a PalmOS 5.4.9 sim.
Whats the point of Cobalt when nothing ever used it ?
Hmmmm arrow keys and shift/spacebar to flip around. Then maybe something like 'D' to reset and maybe 'G' to view the map. That would be nice. So that you can do a quick flip with left/right hand and have the reset key readily available for those who reset quickly with the map viewing easily accessible but you have to move your finger specifically to it (assuming you use proper keyboard fingering0 so you dont hit it by accident.
I can add map as Shift, Alt, Control, or Windows if anyone wants .
Xuzz, you are a geek. Cobalt has Anti-Aliasing, that's why it should be used.

Q: Delphi+Zeos: Same message, independent error: -1 record(is) updated Well, I have an application ERP constructs in Delphi with ZEOS. Database is SQL SERVER.
When happens some error, it doesn't return correct message, independent error, always return:
-1 record(is) updated. Only one record should have been updated instead of correct error
For example:
 I know problem is that I'm trying to delete a customer that has Foreign Key with another table. But in my software, when I try to delete this customer, I receive the message "-1 record(s) updated. Only one record should have been updated" instead of "The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "foreign key name". The conflict occurred in database "database name", table "table name", column 'column name'."
But, I guess it doesn't a problem in my Delphi. Because, if I use the same application, but with the database of another customer, it works!
Has anyone any solution?
For now, thanks.

Inspiration: a functional approach to creative practice.
PhD thesis in Art, Design & Media, by Gil Dekel.
Home (Thesis Title Page)
Contact Gil
07. Literature Review (pt 1 of 4)
This research draws from the area of visual art studies, English literature critiques, psychology, philosophy and theories in science, where there has been an attempt to understand or determine approaches to creativity in artistic endeavours. In this review I will look at these critical theories as well as at artists' own accounts that are documented in the literature. Artists' own accounts, experiences and points of view will particularly inform my thesis.
Contemporary minimalist artist Carl Andre (Bickers & Wilson, 2007: 87) reminds us that the question of artistic inspiration is not a recent one. More than two thousand years ago, Andre explains, Aristotle suggested an approach to understanding creativity by requesting artists to represent the processes of nature, and not nature's appearance. In Book Z of his Metaphysics Aristotle (1994: 4) explains the problematic of appearances, using colour as an example. Seeing the colour of a surface, Aristotle explains, is not seeing what he calls the inner essence of either the colour or the surface, since the colour has its own essence, and the surface has its own separate essence. Appearances, according to Aristotle, cannot tell us much about the source from which things are made and therefore, Aristotle concludes, it is worthwhile to look at the creative processes of making, the processes by which things are attached to other things.
Yet, Aristotle cannot be said to suggest an exploration of the creative processes of artistic making. Rather, he focuses on the creative process of nature through the works of artists.
Nature is regarded as a central point in the work of the English Romantic Blake, being regarded as a source of inspiration for Blake's creativity. Some of Blake's famous visions occurred to him in natural surroundings at an early age (Uglow, 2007). At the age of eight, according to one account from Blake's wife (Bentley, 1995: 36), while in Peckham Rye by Dulwich Hill in London, Blake looked up and saw 'a tree filled with angels, bright angelic wings bespangling every bough like stars'. Such visions continued all through Blake's life. Nature, in this instance, stood as an inspiring source to uplift and motivate the artist to make art, as well as forming the content of much of his work.
The philosopher Charles Taylor (1989: 374) agrees that nature served as a source of inspiration for Blake, but he adds that nature had another function: it was also the source for the artistic expression itself, the source that enables the act of creation. Taylor suggests that observing nature and accessing inspiration through it must be at the same time an act in which Blake defined or realised inspiration, not just accessed it. Observing and realising took place at the same time, and this simultaneous form is the artist's expression, which Taylor calls 'expressivism'. Yet, the philosopher and art critic Colin Wilson challenges the notion of expressivism. Wilson (1971: 27) quotes Blake as saying, 'Man's perceptions are not bounded by organs of perceptions… He perceives more than sense… can discover'. In this statement Blake asserts that people have an ability to see more than the eye can perceive, suggesting that it is a capacity of greater vision, or an expanded state of mind – and not nature – that enables artistic inspiration.
The work of the seventeenth century painter El Greco, The Opening of the Fifth Seal (1608–1614; fig. 1), can serve as an example. In this work El Greco employed vibrating brush strokes to illustrate the visible world in a way that distorts images, as the critic Roger Kimball (2002: 47) notes. Nature and visible reality are represented yet in an early attempt of abstraction. Nature is regarded as a source which goes beyond expressivism of realisation, and into a form of abstraction which characterizes the individual unique artistic signature of the artist representing his inner self more than the outer reality.

Abstract artist Victor Pasmore (Bickers & Wilson, 2007: 350) provides another example. Pasmore compares figurative works that represent the visible world with figurative works that represent the artist's inner world. In the works of seventeenth century Dutch painter Rembrandt, Pasmore explains, the viewer first sees a portrait, and then the quality of the painting, such as the use of colours and the brush strokes. However, in the later works of the nineteenth century English Romantic landscape painter Turner, the viewer first sees the paintings themselves, the colours and shapes, and only after reading the caption does the viewer realise that the paintings depict landscapes (fig. 2). Artists Gilbert & George (Bickers & Wilson, 2007: 322) add that '…what's important is his vision, not the landscapes. You look at a Constable work and don't say 'what a fantastic field', but you say 'what a fantastic Constable'. It is him speaking to you'.

Others, like Dutch artist and critic Piet Mondrian, were also inspired by nature and accepted the existence of capacities that are removed from nature and that are larger than the obvious visible aspects. Mondrian (Mondrian, Holtzman, & James, 1993: 14) explains that indeed nature inspires him, arousing emotions that stimulate creation, but to express his emotions he abstracts nature. The act of expressivism for Mondrian involves deconstructing nature and representing its component elements: lines, shapes and colours. Mondrian did not see the creative process through nature as a straightforward thing to be represented in art, but rather saw nature as a visible source through which the artist can observe and represent the elements that form the shapes of nature and of emotions (fig. 3). Mondrian was conscious that it is the artist who observes nature, and not nature that observes the artist.

Mondrian (Mondrian, Holtzman, & James, 1993: 16) stresses that while he sees beauty in a flower, he is not trying to depict that beauty in his paintings. For Mondrian, the visible beauty is a sign for a human experience of form and colour, but it is not what he calls the 'deepest beauty'. The surface appearance of a thing causes pleasure, Mondrian explains, but it is not the inner character of that thing. In that respect, Mondrian echoes Aristotle's argument about appearances that do not represent the thing's inner essence. Through deconstruction of those things, Mondrian tries to reach the inner essence, or the larger perspective.
Aristotle's initial request that artists should represent processes in nature has reached a point in modern art, as seen through Mondrian's work, where nature serves as a tool to inspire artists, but not as the artists' main subject.

Nigeria Breweries reports unimpressive Q3 2014 earnings
NIGERIA – Nigerian Breweries (NB Plc) has announced an unimpressive financial numbers for third quarter (Q3) ended September 30, 2014 hampered by the unfavourable operating environment in the country.
Analysis of the results released by the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) showed that its revenue of N53.24 billion declined moderately by 5.7 per cent year-on-year (YoY).
Despite a slight improvement in pre-tax and after tax margins, earnings on both counts declined 2.5 per cent. While profit before tax PBT declined to N8.70 billion, profit after tax PAT depreciated by 3.0 per cent to N5.98 billion.
Quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), the results were weaker.
Revenue declined by 26.6 per cent while PAT dropped by 56.9 per cent QoQ. Margin wise, there was a contraction of both the top and bottom line margins.
Gross profit margin contracted by 373 basis points to 47 per cent, PBT margin was down 1009 basis points to 16.34 per cent, and PAT shed 786 basis points to 11.19 per cent.
This was despite declines recorded in both cost of sales (18.3 per cent q-o-q) and operating expenses (15.0 per cent q-o-q).
Reacting to the result, analysts at Investment One Limited stated that overall, the pressure on margins are reflective of the shift in consumer preference from more expensive premium brands to cheaper value brands, restrictions to business operations due to infrastructural deficits (especially in power and transportation), as well as escalating insecurity issues (particularly in the Northern part of the country).
According to the analysts, "Going forward however, we believe recent investments in infrastructure by local and foreign stakeholders, particularly in the area of gas supply to Gencos, and several power initiatives such as 'Power Africa' (a 10,000-megawatt (mw) power generation project to boost power supply in the country) will boost production activities and translate to wider margins.
"Additionally, NB's merger with Consolidated Breweries Plc, presents an opportunity for the company to widen its product portfolio, giving it more exposure to the value segment.
The newly formed entity is expected to cover 70 per cent of the Nigerian beer market, presenting opportunities for positive economies of scale for the business. Consequently, we expect improved top-line performance in subsequent quarters."

In Verona, Petruchio begins the "taming" of his new wife. Instead he labelled A Shrew a bad quarto. Which seminal work of 20th century literature is divided into the following five sections.
A Game of Chess 3. As Gremio does have a counterpart in I Suppositi, Miller concludes that "to argue the priority of A Shrew in this case would mean arguing that Shakespeare took the negative hints from the speeches of Polidor and Phylema and gave them to a character he resurrected from Supposes.
But instead of consoling her "husband", she challenges his manhood and says that no man hers should be scared of a dream. For in her fallynge yet she had a care, Lest that hir fet or suche thyng lay bare; So wel she loved clennesse and eke trouthe.
The Legend of Good Women is more about bad men than good women. In a mirror of the original, his new wife attempts successfully to tame him — thus the tamer becomes the tamed. Some critics argue that in mitigating the violence both of folktales and of actual practices, Shakespeare sets up Petruchio as a ruffian and a bully, but only as a disguise — and a disguise that implicitly criticises the brutal arrogance of conventional male attitudes.
Different theories suggest A Shrew could be a reported text of a performance of The Shrew, a source for The Shrew, an early draft possibly reported of The Shrew, or an adaptation of The Shrew.
Initial material about Mynos and Scylla Nysus' daughter is abandoned: The pilgrims ostensibly want a moral tale and the Pardoner tells exactly what is wanted, but one must look at the teller too.
After a summation of Trojan War events, we are told: Erostrato reveals himself, and begs clemency for Dulipo. I believe that it is a moral tale. The means by which this self-interrogation is accomplished is that complex theatrical device of the Sly-framework [ His volume Essais translated literally as Attempts contains some of the most widely influential essays ever written.
In Act 3, Scene 2, Tranio suddenly becomes an old friend of Petruchio, knowing his mannerisms and explaining his tardiness prior to the wedding.
In all the confusion, the real Vincentio is set to be arrested, when the real Lucentio appears with his newly betrothed Bianca, revealing all to a bewildered Baptista and Vincentio.
As such, audiences may not have been as predisposed to tolerate the harsh treatment of Katherina as is often thought. In the play performed for Sly, the "shrew" is Katherina, the eldest daughter of Baptista Minola, a lord in Padua. This quality is quite significant, given her subsequent significance in the plot's development.
For example, according to The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, Noah's wife was such a woman ('"Hastow nought herd," quod Nicholas, "also/The sorwe of Noë with his felaschippe/That he had or he gat his wyf to schipe"'; The Miller's Tale, l.
–), and it was common for her to be depicted in this manner in mystery plays. The Canterbury Tales A work written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the late fourteenth century about a group of pilgrims, of many different occupations and personalities, who meet at an inn near London as they are setting out for Canterbury, England.

The Legend of Good Women is more about bad men than good women. The power of the men increases in the prgression of tales, from a rebel youth to a king; simultaneously from the active Cleopatra (and more interest in Antony and the sea-battle anyway) to the passive Hypermnestra.

Red meat has long been linked to pancreatic and colon cancer but now there's a fresh threat. For those who enjoy a good, juicy hamburger or a well-cooked steak, a new study says those meals could be increasing your chances of developing breast cancer.
Analyzing information from over 88,000 women between the ages of 26-45 who completed surveys about their eating habits back in 1991, researchers at Harvard University saw the ladies' meat intake ranged from never to six or more servings each day. According to AP, the first findings from this study were published back in 2006 exposing a preliminary link between red meat and breast cancer after 12 years. Now, the research group was able to supply more in-depth information on the connection as well as its effect on other breast cancer types.
Using a statistical model, scientists estimated that in women who ate the most amount of red meat, there were an extra 6.8 cases of breast cancer for every 1,000 women over 20 years of follow-up. … In developed countries, women have about a 12.5 percent chance of developing breast cancer.
Scientists suspect proteins in red meat speed up cell division and tumor growth; chemicals such as nitrates in processed meats are already classified as probable carcinogens.
Still, she says there isn't enough hard evidence about the connection between breast cancer and red meat just yet to revise prevention rules.
Elsewhere Valerie Beral, a cancer expert at Oxford University, think the link between red meat and breast cancer is tenuous at best. Beral points out that vegetarians don't possess a reduced risk of breast cancer than steak lovers. But, she adds, women eating the American Cancer Society's recommended "plant-based" diet in their 20s can't hurt.
"Breasts are still developing and are more susceptible to carcinogens before women have their first full-term pregnancy," said Mia Gaudet, director of genetic epidemiology at the American Cancer Society. "It's important to have a healthy lifestyle throughout your life and not just as you get older and more worried about cancer. People should perhaps consider ordering a salad or a vegetarian option sometime."
