When we started to work on this project the instruction from the client was to save the traditional Croatian recipes and to bring back the sweet smell of grandma's kitchen into our everyday life.
Packaging is based on the photo of delicious cake that you first notice and wood and napkin in the background to create homey, warm atmosphere and to remind you of something nice from grandma's kitchen. On the back of the packaging you can find a recipe for each cake and in the package a perfect combination of spices to help you in making the best cake.
The sweetest job this year brought us a creation of visual for Kraš Sweet Fairytale poster. The poster is an invitation for the children to participate in a program organized for them in Kraš factory. Who wouldn't love to go into the chocolate castle, where chocolate flows in streams and sweets are in abundance.
For the cult theatre show by Dušan Kovačević, which had premiered at numerous theaters around the world and finally in Zagreb, we have designed image visual, brochure, posters. Since we did not want to bear a grudge on Professional, his identity, as you may see from the visuals, remains anonymous. Enjoy the show!
The thought of architect associates on ground plan. When this ground plan is in the golden cut, then we get Devant le succ s du casino , de nombreux autres sont cr s. an interesting visual identity. The logo is in addition to paper materials fully implemented in interior design.
Manjgura – in dialect from Dubrovnik region means young, little, cheeky girl – was devilish idea for designing visual identity of PR agency Manjgura.
Manjgura logo was depicted through different characters – she smiles, puts her tongue out, shouts, looks surprised, angry … just like black and red small devil.
Black and gold as a basic color palette, materials such as fabric, Skin Keaykolour paper, the combination of offset printing techniques, screen printing, stretch film, rounded edges, have created materials that gives sense of luxury and professionalism – the idea we wanted to convey celebrating the 40th anniversary of the company.
Redesign of the Rosal – hand cream product line was a special treat for us.
Cream products are used by a wide circle of consumers, so the design was supposed to meet the general consumer tastes. Simple and clean design with intense colors were a big hit. This confirms the fact that the sale of these products, with design changes, climbed from 14th to 4th place, and with print campaigns, sales jumped further on the 2nd place. Great success for the client, but also for us!
One more Rosal product line that we redesigned is Rosal Lipbalm. This product is intended for younger generation therefore is full of different colors, attractive optimism and cheerful visuals that suggest certain flavor, which lures to be bought.
In this segment the competition is very strong, but the sales results were extremely good.


My Colorado vacation highlight was hearing Gary D. Schmidt talk about writing and publishing. His advice was similar to what you may hear from other sources e.g. write every day. He recommended 500 words. Disciplined. Committed. Daily. No excuses.
I considered my writing process and the rationale behind it. Early on I determined every day didn't work for me. It was too much. I needed time to ruminate, rejuvenate, etc.
Then I decided that word counts could be weekly instead of daily since I wasn't writing every day anyway. It made sense.
And then, I figured my writing goals could be worked monthly so long as I donated some of my time to it. It's not like it's my 'job' right? Who needs deadlines? It will get done in its own time.
When my writing process seeped out of its dedicated-routine sized pitcher and leaked into a-hobby-I'll-get-to later sized bucket, I didn't notice. Until I kicked the bucket over making a huge puddle sized mess to mop up. A puddle, I promptly pulled up my pant legs and stepped over it.
I thought, "I'll deal with you later," because it was like trying to drink the ocean with a straw. A salty impossible mess.
I realized, my process was broken. And broken processes are an irritation, a pet peeve. Ask my husband the number of times he listened to my rants about this topic on vacation. Processes are meant to run smoothly and efficiently. When they don't, they're meant to be improved.
Gary also talked about how he's not actively engaged in social media. He stated (and I'm paraphrasing), if you only write 500 words a day, should it be a blog post? Or tweets or whatever? Or should it be 500 words toward your fiction or non-fiction pieces? At the end of the year you'll have 183,000 words to edit into the story you want to tell. You can get it done.
Remember, my blog was supposed to be the place where I practiced writing? Okay, maybe it's become a distractor or an "out" from doing the "real work" that's hard and terrifying.
I know, I know, I just posted that writer's write and it doesn't matter what they write, but hmmm … I am rethinking that philosophy.
While I was on vacation my characters came-a-calling. They've lain silent for almost a year, only to shake me awake at 5 AM when I could be sleeping in for a change.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are," they screamed.
I was game. I sat in the dark of our hotel room writing feverishly while my family slept quiet and peaceful.
There's something about this time of year. Summer and vacation, being away from my normal seems to unleash my creativity, the playful side.
While I thought about my recent reads (which were so good) and all of Gary's encouragement, I realized the story scope on my novel was too broad; aggressive for a newbie. I started in the wrong place. I needed to plot the plot even though I am a pantser. The list of first-timer mistakes I've made is long.
Yes, I am scrapping it all. I am giving this WIP a clean slate to reinvent itself.
In working through this I found a new beginning to the story (4 unique versions of the beginning to be exact). A new direction and manageable scale which can help me past my writer's block. I hope.
There's a new working title: The Way to Wonderland, which makes me smile.
Character names, purposes, and motivations will change. Locations will evolve. Villains and heroes will get an unexpected twist, I never saw coming. And somehow it will all come together.
I am dedicating the entire month of August 2014 to writing; working on the novel in progress which technically is a new angle on an existing idea. I'm in pursuit.
Let's see if I can fix my broken writing process. I'm nervous but hopeful.
Wish me luck. Live in the suspense. I'll chat with you in September around the 9th. Be well!
NOTE: I wrote this post a couple of weeks ago, thinking the timing would allow for character development and plotting. Unfortunately, I didn't get it done. I will spend the first part of August completing the important task of planning. Then I will write 500 words a day. I'll still check in with you early September but it's likely I will need more off time to hit 31 days.
Back-to-school (BTS) is less than a week away for our dudes.
It's giving me anxiety. I wake up with a crippling "to do" list scrolling on my mental screen. And I fall asleep the same way.
Order uniforms – Surprisingly between the end of school and now my dudes have grown. Go figure.
Buy school supplies – It's my favorite thing about back-to-school.
Coordinate drop offs and pick-ups – The bane of my existence. They get out of school at 3PM. I get off work at 5PM.
There aren't any checkmarks to signify completion of any of these" to do" list items.
Buy shoes – First must practice tying shoes or plan on shoes without laces.
Buy backpacks – Not cool licensed stuff like Batman and Sonic because they don't last. Need something reinforced. Boring.
Discuss lunch options – Need choices that can survive without refrigeration.
Get haircuts – Now, not later. It will grow out just the right length before pictures.
Buy glasses wipes – Little people don't care about grime.
Oh, I know some of you are feeling my pain. But that's what BTS looks like for my dudes. These are the things Momma needs to do to get them ready for the 2013-2014 school year.
BTS looks different for me personally. This year, BTS for me is Back-To-Writing. Writerly me needs a back-to-school program!
For those of you who don't know, I started writing my first novel in August 2010. The idea came to me one morning while I was curling my hair. A flash of brilliance.
I was excited and the words flowed. Then I realized I had no idea what I was doing. So I started looking for help and there's an abundance of it available. By abundance I mean more than any one writer could ever sift through.
It was paralyzing to realize all I didn't know. Plus, it was overwhelming to realize what I did know and maybe wasn't applying right.
In August 2011, I reset my goal. Put my word count goal in Scrivener again.
In August 2012, I reset the goal again. I'm half way there.
We're coming to the end of August 2013 and I am facing my third reset. I have mixed feelings.
I'm sure some of you are ready for the whining about the novel and my writing process for it to be over.
But my enthusiasm has waned and with it my habits. I've gotten sloppy.
How do I combat this slowdown in progress? How do I overcome this dwindling enthusiasm and momentum?
By getting back to the basics and rebuilding my writing habits, which means, I must write daily; adhering to word count and time goals.
I've heard that it takes 21 days to form a habit. Twenty one days of doing a task over and over to make it second nature.
So here I go … 21 days of writing new words every day. That's my first semester or quarter or marking period. Call it what you will.
It won't matter what I write at this point. I just need to be intentional about sitting down each day to write. Words on the page. It could be novel writing or blogging. It just needs to be daily.
For the past 6 months or so my characters have been on sabbatical. Their leisure time is over. It's time for the hard work. Together we will finish this.
Otherwise, the characters from a second novel idea will breakthrough. They've been knocking at the door and whispering to me in my sleep. But I refuse to answer until I finish book idea one to satisfaction.
Oh and did I mention, if I miss one day, then I will have to start over counting my 21 days. I will reset daily if necessary to avoid resetting at the end of August 2014. FINISH.
Once I complete a full 21 days of writing, I'll up the ante by selecting specific word counts per day or time writing per day. Don't worry, I'll keep you posted. And, you can help hold me accountable.
I had good habits in the beginning when I was ignorant. Maybe naïve is a better word. Either way I want to have that sense of innocence back; that feeling of invincibility. I can do this.
What does BTS look like for you? What will you rededicate yourself to? Will you get Back-To-Writing? Creating? Painting?
I've always been a writer but I am a fledgling novelist. One thing that writing a novel is teaching me: my vocabulary is lacking. Nonexistent really.
To think, vocabulary was once something I prided myself on.
I guess spending my formative years looking up words I didn't know; writing down the definitions in my "reading journal"; and using the word in a sentence was for nothing. Especially because I don't recall the majority of the words let alone their meanings.
Most of the time I rely on the context clues for meaning rather than the denotative meaning. There's nothing wrong with doing this as a reader.
However, as a writer, I find myself struggling to convey what I mean without being repetitive. Or I have to use a thesaurus because I don't know an alternative way to say certain things. And then it feels forced because they aren't "my" words.
Who wants to read a novel full of the same single descriptive word or phrase? For instance: "the twins" to describe our heroines.
Not me. Not any reader.
I know I can use: siblings, sisters, girls, daughters, doppelgänger. Or even combinations with: matched set, pair, identical, fraternal. But will it feel authentic coming from my mouth, my pen, my keystrokes?
I wonder if this is part of finding my writer's voice. The reason I choose the words I choose.
Poor vocabulary is limiting. HINT: I'm easy to beat in a game of Words with Friends or Scrabble which is why I won't play against my hubby.
Although I am in a state of hysteria over this, I haven't allowed it to slow me down. My choice? Let words flow. Even if the words are repetitive. I just need to get the story out. Right? Then I can go back and make the words matter.
This is part of the reason I am reluctant to share excerpts from my novel in progress. Eventually I'll move past this issue. Or maybe the second draft will only contain deliberately repetitive statements, making it worthy to post.
Outside of using a thesaurus … I need to work on vocabulary building. My characters deserve a richer language than I have to offer right now.
Anyone else have this problem? What's the cure?
Off to listen to my Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day and Grammar Girl podcasts. Oh yeah and to read more so I can learn from those who've done it well.

Calls to ban plastic straws have been a permanent feature of many Environmental movements across the globe over the past few years.
The reasons behind these calls are certainly valid.
The UK uses close to 8.5 Billion straws per year (that's approximately 130 straws per person).
That is indeed, a lot of straws. And the real issue comes after we've finished using them. The majority of our straws don't end up in the Recycling process.
This means each straw can take up to 200 years to decompose, and it is estimated that plastic straws contribute a whopping 7% of the total global plastic waste.
So the environmental argument is sound. No problems there.
BUT, there is an often neglected detail to this issue.
The use of Plastic Straws by people with disabilities.
What the Environmental lobbies tend to neglect, is that a significant proportion of our community rely on the use of these straws for everyday activities.
While it might be easy for some to ditch the straws of their McDonalds Coke, for anyone with a condition such as a Progressive Neuromuscular disability, these straws are the only way they can actually drink anything.
The 'bendy' plastic straw was in fact invented in 1937 by Joseph Friedman, after he noticed his daughter struggling to drink out of a straight straw.
Since Friedman's timeless invention, bendy plastic straws have been a godsend for people with certain disabilities, allowing them to access to safely and independently consume their beverages without risk of spilling, or needing to ask for the help of others.
In other words, while the bendy plastic straw may be a "menace" to some, for others, they are crucial to maintaining an element of independence and comfort in their lives.
But this perspective is seldom understood.
That is the aim of this article, and our movement in general at Disabled Dating. To raise awareness of this perspective.
Yes, we want to help people with disabilities find fulfilling relationships.
But we're also determined to raise awareness about the lives, ambitions, struggles and dreams of people with disabilities too.
That's the bigger picture :)
The problem after all, we hope, does not lie in deliberate discrimination. But more lack of understanding.
If Environmental Activists understood how important these straws are for the most basic of human functions; eating & drinking, then perhaps they might understand how a TOTAL BAN could severely impact on the well-being of those who truly need them.
There are alternatives, yes. But they are, unfortunately, not particularly helpful.
Some of the 'heavy-duty' straws, such as Bamboo or Metal present an Injury Risk. 'Lighter' versions, such as Paper, present a Choking risk. Plus, they can't be used for high-temperature food or drink, such as soups.
Some have suggested for plastic straws to be available on a prescription, which sounds sensible, until the cost factor is taken into account.
Why should people with disabilities have to add plastic straws onto a seemingly never-ending list of additional expenses, just so they can perform basic daily tasks? Tasks that many simply take for granted.
We're not saying that the Environmental impact of plastic straws shouldn't be considered.
But we must point out that a full ban of bendy plastic straws could have severe impact on the quality of lives of an often-neglected section of society.
More care and consideration needs to be put into this, in order to safeguard the rights of people with disabilities, and ensure that these are protected just as rigorously as our efforts to protect our Environment.

Subject to availability
Billed when shipped
Mary Jo Maynes looks to school reform in early modern Europe to show the relevance of early ideas about schooling for understanding contemporary society. She presents the competing perspectives on issues such as the identity and motivations of school reformers, the broad societal changes that made educational reform seem imperative toward the end of the eighteenth century all over the West, the connections between educational change and economic development, the role of schools in the evolution of class relations, the impact of reform on family strategies in the context of early industrialization. The work concludes by assessing historical data on the social impact of school reform and addressing the social meaning of schooling in the past and in the present.

I am a stuntman and free runner looking for a good camera for video and some stills. I have never used a dslr or M43 for any great length of time. I need 1080 p and 60 fps for slow motion. In my price range I'm looking at the Panasonic G6 or the new Nikon D3300. I'm having trouble deciding and was wondering if anyone with the G6 has experience shooting sports video with it. Also what glass would you recommend? Most shots will be during the day in Texas sun. At least one with shallow depth of field for some artistic shots and a wide angle. Should I get the kit on Amazon with the 14-42mm and add from there? I saw some people recommending cannon lenses, cheap but good I think. Which camera do you think would have better video quality in 60 fps? I know that can effect editing with plugins like twixtor.
Thank you for your time, responses, and patience, I am a noob now but hope to be good at this eventually.
G6 is most likely a good choice. Glass is very subjective. The kit zoom (14-42) is a great place to start. Another option is the 14-140 zoom which would give you an all-in-one solution. At longer focal lengths you can easily get sort of shallow DOF (decent background separation but not extremely shallow DOF which is difficult to control). Spare some cash for an ND filter and circular polarizer as that will help to handle the sun and to shoot at open apertures..
Since you are starting out and seem to be into shooting sports I think you can benefit from having such a versatile lens as the 14-140. As your shooting progresses that zoom may start to feel limiting - but then you will be in a more likely position to know what you actually want for your shooting. Like I said at first, it´s highly individual and many things you might think you need you can do without. If you shoot all kinds of sports then a zoom is indeed a must have, but if you shoot the same type of sport (from the same distance in general) you will know after a while what focal lengths you want to shoot in.
The other option is you buy one wide angle lens and one telephoto lens and switch between those. (after a while you might want to change them as you may find one or the other or both slightly off in terms of focal length for what you would like to achieve). Though this would be a better beginners choice if you were into making shorts and such.

MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE CONFIRMS COMMON PESTICIDE HAZARDOUS TO CHILDREN'S HEALTH
from The Waking Times:
Chlorpyrifos insecticides were introduced by Dow Chemical in 1965 and have been used widely in agricultural settings. Commonly known as the active ingredient in the brand names Dursban and Lorsban, chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide, acaricide and miticide used primarily to control foliage and soil-borne insect pests on a variety of food and feed crops. Products come in liquid form as well as granules, powders and water-soluble packets, and may be applied by either ground or aerial equipment.
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
Chlorpyrifos is used on a wide variety of crops including apples, oranges, strawberries, corn, wheat, citrus and other foods families and their children eat daily. USDA's Pesticide Data Program found chlorpyrifos residue on citrus and melons even after being washed and peeled. By volume, chlorpyrifos is most used on corn and soybeans, with over a million pounds applied annually to each crop. The chemical is not allowed on organic crops.
Non-agricultural uses include golf courses, turf, green houses and utilities.
Human health concerns
The American Academy of Pediatrics, which represents more than 66,000 pediatricians and pediatric surgeons, has warned that continued use of chlorpyrifos puts developing fetuses, infants, children and pregnant women at great risk.
Scientists have found that prenatal exposures to chlorpyrifos are associated with lower birth weight, reduced IQ, the loss of working memory, attention disorders and delayed motor development. Key studies are listed below.
Chlorpyrifos is also linked to acute pesticide poisoning and can cause convulsions, respiratory paralysis and sometimes, death.
FDA says food and drinking water exposures unsafe
Chlorpyrifos is so toxic that the European Food Safety Authority banned sales of the chemical as of January 2020, finding that there is no safe exposure level. Some U.S. states have also banned chlorpyrifos from farming use, including California and Hawaii.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reached agreement with Dow Chemical in 2000 to phase out all residential uses of chlorpyrifos because of scientific research showing the chemical is dangerous to the developing brains of babies and young children. It was banned from use around schools in 2012.
In October 2015, the EPA said it planned to revoke all food residue tolerances for chlorpyrifos, meaning it would no longer be legal to use it in agriculture. The agency said "expected residues of chlorpyrifos on food crops exceed the safety standard under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act." The move came in response to a petition for a ban from the Natural Resources Defense Council and Pesticide Action Network.
In November 2016, the EPA released a revised human health risk assessment for chlorpyrifos confirming it was unsafe to allow the chemical to continue in use in agriculture. Among other things, the EPA said all food and drinking water exposures were unsafe, especially to children 1-2 years old. The EPA said the ban would take place in 2017.
Trump EPA delays ban
Following the election of Donald Trump as president of the U.S., the proposed chlorpyrifos ban was delayed. In March 2017, in one of his first formal actions as the nation's top environmental official, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt rejected the petition by environmental groups and said the ban on chlorpyrifos would not go forward.
The Associated Press reported in June 2017 that Pruitt had met with Dow CEO Andrew Liveris 20 days before halting the ban. Media also reported that Dow contributed $1 million to Trump's inaugural activities.
In February 2018, EPA reached a settlement requiring Syngenta to pay a $150,000 fine and train farmers in pesticide use after the company failed to warn workers to avoid fields where chlorpyrifos was recently sprayed and several workers who entered the fields were sickened and required medical care. The Obama EPA had initially proposed a fine nearly nine times larger.
In February 2020, after pressure from consumer, medical, scientific groups and in face of growing calls for bans around the world, Corteva AgriScience (formerly DowDuPont) said it would phase out production of chlorpyrifos, but the chemical remains legal for other companies to make and sell.
According to an analysis published in July, U.S. regulators relied on falsified data provided by Dow Chemical to allow unsafe levels of chlorpyrifos into American homes for years. The analysis from University of Washington researchers said the inaccurate findings were the result of a chlorpyrifos dosing study done in the early 1970s for Dow.
In September, the EPA issued its third risk assessment on chlorpyrifos, saying "despite several years of study, peer review and public process, the science addressing neurodevelopmental effects remains unresolved," and it still could be used in food production.
The decision came after multiple meetings between the EPA and Corteva.
Groups and states sue EPA
Following the Trump administration's decision to delay any ban until at least 2022, Pesticide Action Network and Natural Resources Defense Council filed suit against the EPA in April 2017, seeking to force the government to follow through with the Obama administration's recommendations to ban chlorpyrifos.
In August 2018, a federal appeals court found that the EPA broke the law by continuing to allow use of chlorpyrifos, and ordered EPA to finalize its proposed ban within two months. After more delays, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced in July 2019 that EPA would not ban the chemical.
Several states have sued the EPA over its failure to ban chlorpyrifos, including California, New York, Massachusetts, Washington, Maryland, Vermont and Oregon. The states argue in court documents that chlorpyrifos should be banned in food production due to the dangers associated with it.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT | Cesar Tordesillas, Thailand
Published: 26 Jan 13
Kasikorn expects AUM to hit Bt1-T
Kasikorn Asset Management forecasts assets under management (AUM) to touch Bt1 trillion this year.
According to its newly appointed executive chairman, Chongrak Rattanapian, this is based on expectation of the Stock Exchange of Thailand reaching 1,550-1,600 points.
"This year, the company's AUM is expected to rise 19 percent, close to the industry average, driven by the existing customer base, its close connection with its parent Kasikornbank, brand strength and investors' confidence. With that expectation, the company will be the first [in Thailand] to have Bt1-trillion AUM," Chongrak said.
He added that his appointment came as a normal transition, given his experience in the asset-management industry.
He said AUM last year grew by 15 percent to Bt846 billion, maintaining the company's status as the industry champion. It has about 800,000 customers.
The company's mutual funds expanded by 20 per cent while the provident funds grew 15 percent.
This year's business strategy continues to focus on offering various products to meet demand of three major customer groups.
The first group consists of those who maintain the principal. The second comprises those who invest for asset growth and focus on risk mitigation abroad. The third is those who invest for retirement.
Currently, the company has nearly 500,000 customers who are members of provident funds or investors in retirement mutual funds; the latter group has total assets of about Bt63 billion.

The first definitive total of violent civilian deaths in Baghdad since mid April has been published by Iraq Body Count (IBC), an Anglo-American research group tracking media-reported civilian deaths occuring as a consequence of the US/UK military intervention in Iraq.
From April 14th to 31st August, 2,846 violent deaths were recorded by the Baghdad city morgue. When corrected for pre-war death rates in the city a total of at least 1,519 excess violent deaths in Baghdad emerges from reports based on the morgue's records.
The study confirms the widespread anecdotal evidence that violence on the streets of Baghdad has skyrocketed, with the average daily death rate almost tripling since mid April from around 10 per day to over 28 per day during August.
Another worrying development is that during the pre-war period deaths from gunshot wounds accounted for approximately 10% of bodies brought to the morgue, but now account for over 60% of those killed. The small number of reports available for other cities indicate that these trends are being mirrored elsewhere in the country.
Although the majority of deaths are the result of Iraqi on Iraqi violence, some were directly caused by US military fire. There is evidence that these deaths, often from indiscriminate use of firepower, increasingly fail to be reported or remain unacknowledged by occupation forces. But responsibility for the current mayhem in Baghdad and elsewhere in Iraq is not diffused at the bottom - at the level of ordinary soldiers ill-suited for police-work in a hostile environment - but is concentrated at the top, in the air-conditioned corridors of power in Washington and London.
The Geneva Conventions and Hague Regulations, to which the US and UK are signatories, place the responsibility for ensuring public order and protecting the civilian population from violence on the occupying powers. UN Resolution 1483, which recognized the US/UK as the de facto occupying authority in Iraq, clearly bound them to these duties. But the US/UK are manifestly failing to fulfil them, compounding the death and destruction already unleashed by their invasion of Iraq. At the same time the US, in particular, resists any multilateral initiatives which would lead to an early end to its dominance over the country.
Meanwhile the latest reports from the nation's capital show that, as throughout the summer, the city's daily death toll continues to rise.
"The US may be effective at waging war but the descent of Iraq's capital city into lawlessness under US occupation shows that it is incompetent at maintaining public order and providing security for the civilian population. The US has toppled Saddam and discovered that it won't be discovering any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So why is it still there? And if the US military can't ensure the safety of Iraqi civilians and itself poses a danger to them, what is its role in that country?
"It is high time for the occupying authority to take serious steps towards an orderly hand-over of power and jurisdiction to Iraqis instead of making them junior partners in running their own country, and for the US/UK to stop requiring the international community to act as nothing more than a fig-leaf for US control of Iraq.
"Until they do, ordinary Iraqis may justifiably feel ungrateful for a 'liberation' that has removed the fear of Saddam but left them under military occupation and living in terror of their own streets."

The manufacturing industry is supported by a modern and dynamic tertiary sector of administrative and financial services, IT and ICT, research and communications and a credit sector system. A network of bodies, institutes and promotion structures work to ensure that studies and technologies are constantly being disseminated and updated. A decisive role is played by local public institutions, which provide a large range of service infrastructures to businesses. Prestigious private and public institutions work to make the "Parma" brand unique within the agro-food sector.
These include Alma- the International School of Italian Cuisine and the most authoritative training centre for Italian cuisine worldwide, and the Stazione Sperimentale per le conserve alimentari - the Experimental Station for the Food Preserves Industry – one of the most qualified applied research institutes in the sector. The market for typical produce and commodities is also backed by the Borsa Merci Telematica italiana the Italian Online Commodities Exchange – a futures exchange tool. Last but not least is Fiere di Parma – Parma's trade fair centre. Its main events, Cibus and Cibus Tec, have become key reference points for professionals in the trade from around the world. Parma's tradition in food and agriculture is one that is time-honoured, and has long been a commitment shared by the entire area. Its efforts were crowned in 2003 when Parma was chosen as the headquarters for EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority.


911 - A Geopolitical Turning Point?!
chinman.com > Public Zone 公開區 > Bookwyrm 書蟲天地 > 911 - A Geopolitical Turning Point?!
Today is the 10th anniversary of the 911 attack. Many of the newspaper articles and commentaries focus on how the event may have changed the world. I am quoting a few I read, and let's see how the predictions pan out in the next decade.
Re: 911 - A Geopolitical Turning Point?!
A cleaning & efficient government - not the easiest thing to get, anywhere.
A reflection (starting from the 5th paragraph or so) from a NYT editor. I imagine this is a provocative piece, from the general popular American point of view.
BELLAGIO, ITALY — My daughter turned four that day. She was in my arms as my wife and I ran down Remsen Street to the Brooklyn Promenade. Smoke from the towers was thickening into a churning cloud. Papers from incinerated brokerage houses fluttered across the East River beneath that sky I think of now as 9/11 blue.
Journalists are bound to observe which way people are moving and go in the opposite direction. I boarded the No. 2 train at Clark Street. The woman next to me was fighting back tears. Her brother was in the North Tower, she thought. I tried to console her. The subway, one of the last to run, passed beneath the inferno to Times Square.
It was my first day in a new job as an editor. I'd been at my desk 10 minutes when, at 9:59 a.m., the South Tower came down. Adrenalin kicked in: the alchemy of newspapering. Grief suppressed only became irrepressible a couple of days later. A woman searching for her lost husband had tacked to a wall an ultrasound showing an unborn child who would now grow up fatherless. That did it.
The fires burned, fed by molten steel buried deep. They burned for weeks. Sometimes, in certain winds, the acrid-sweet smell below Canal Street carried into Brooklyn, an emetic reminder of what the fires had consumed.
I remember that. One thing 9/11 teaches, a decade on, is that memory is treacherous. It is ever shifting and unscientific, close to imagination, as distinct from history as emotion from form.
How many times since that day have I listened to people around the world expound on their theory of what really happened, based on what they believe they saw. No conspiracy has proved too outlandish or too foul to entertain. I've had to restrain myself.
Tell me your 9/11 and I'll tell you who you are.
Joseph Brodsky once wrote: "If there is any substitute for love, it's memory. To memorize, then, is to restore intimacy." That's not a bad definition of what the best journalism does: restore intimacy. The Portraits of Grief that appeared in The New York Times for months after the attack hit home because they undercut, through the particulars of single lives, Stalin's formula: Murder en masse and loss becomes a mere statistic.
There followed the nation's loss — of direction. The early 20th century was a period of giddy American expansion. The early 21st century has been a period of gathering American doubt. The American Century is behind us; this one still seeks its epithet among the emergent powers. What role the attack played in this reshaping of the globe, and what part of it is attributable to the inexorable currents of history, is an open question.
I'd say the power shift was inevitable but accelerated by 9/11 and by chance. Hanging chads contributed. The United States found itself with an accidental president. He took the nation into two wars without preparing the nation for sacrifice. His righteousness brooked no questioning. Irresponsibility was allied to conviction, a heinous marriage. Self-delusion is the mother of perdition. Wars killed. Wall Street made killings. "Whatever" became the watchword of maxed-out Americans; and in time things fell apart.
When they do, extreme ideologies thrive. There must be an enemy within. Scapegoats must be found, compromise crushed. The most devastating effect of 9/11 has been the polarization of America and the incubation of hatred.
The national interest has lost out to settling scores or whipping up bigotry. It is the manipulation of memory — not fit remembrance — that has turned an attack by a band of fanatical Muslims into grounds for the grotesque attempt to ban Shariah law in several U.S. states, and to scurrilous imaginings about President Obama and Islam.
There is a coda to this decade: Hope. Arabs have risen up by the hundreds of millions to claim a dignity and freedom long denied them. The kleptocratic tyrannies they lived under were production lines for the fanaticism behind 9/11; the hypocrisy of Western support for those tyrannies was a great propaganda tool for terrorists. As America has learned of late, change is hard. It will be uneven in the Arab world. But in this transformation a constructive answer to 9/11 is at last being traced.
My little girl is now an adolescent poised on the fulcrum between childhood and womanhood. She used to say her birthday was famous but she's not. She used to say her birthday is on the day the towers came down. Now she says nothing. That seems wise. There's enough noise. Silence is remembrance.
I never gave her that note from a departed soul because in fact I imagined it.

Interview#7…Interview with Rayve Zen, Actor
Rayve Zen is a Singaporean actor, now based in Hong Kong, who has kindly agreed to an interview for my blog – an actor's perspective on the film industry!
Rayve, thank you for taking time out your busy schedule to answer these questions! I see from your IMDb listing that you have made a very impressive impact in the Asian film market, so I am very grateful that you are taking the time to answer some Q's!
What is your background in acting?
I actually started out as a singer for a rock band before I got into acting. I was very lucky to be able to attend college for where I studied Musical Theater for 3 years and have worked on screen and stage ever since.
Has moving to Hong Kong opened up more opportunities for you?
I would say that Hong Kong and Mainland China have a far longer and more established history and tradition of making film. So, yes, and I'm very grateful for that. There are plenty of opportunities in Singapore as well. It is young and growing.
What type of role excites you? Do you opt for a specific genre?
Characters who change things around them. As opposed to having things to happen to them all the time. You might say that they are leading man roles who make choices that impact the course of the film. Also, characters who face incredible adversaries. I also have a penchant for darkness. At the moment, not really. I relish challenges and grow with every project I take on.
How do you prepare for a role?
I believe research and focus is important. I'd trace similarities between us. I also look for the physical or behavioral traits and start to incorporate them into my daily life. I don't think the character only shows up on shoot day so I'll stay in character for a quality amount of time prior to the project. I strongly believe the character enters and leaves the set completely "in character". I don't believe in wasting time and anything less than 200% commitment would not be as satisfying an effort.
What's been your most memorable role so far and for what reasons?
I don't know, to be honest. I had fun playing Dr Lim Boon Keng in Love in A Time of Change. Shuisheng in Azalea 生死兵将 was sad but memorable. I also did play some interesting characters on stage. One that has stuck with me is Hanschen Rilow from Spring Awakening.
What type of films do you watch?
Anything but happy films. Haha! Well, to be honest, it's not just the dark stuff that interests me. I watch documentaries, thrillers, westerns, biographical films.. quite an array. I like Fincher, PTA, Kurosawa.
What challenge do you face right now as an actor based in SE Asia?
To be East and West at the same time. To understand and respect both cultures and practices. I'd also say that Singaporean identity is still pretty much an unknown quantity in the world at this moment and I'd love to tell the story. It's a fun challenge.
If there was one role you could play – what would that be?
The Joker in Batman.
Do you see yourself primarily as a screen actor or would theatre interest you?
I came from a theater background and have a long relationship with the form. I fell in love with the camera and, at the moment, I have no plans to return to the theater.
What do you have coming up this year for us to watch out for?
I have a zombie film set for a third-quarter 2018 release and a gangster film called 道义in August. I play an intellectually disabled individual in Mr.H 阿憨 which will hit Chinese online platforms this year and a Singaporean autism documentary set for the third-quarter. I've also got a couple of projects that are working on a release date at the moment. My next project will be a collaboration with director Evangelo Costadimas on a short film.
Thank you again, and may I wish you all the very best in your career!
See you in Hong Kong!

Homecoming held in Ridgefield for teen Olympian
Posted About Nine Years Ago by WLAD Newsroom
Today is Tucker West Day in Ridgefield. That was part of a proclamation made at the Ridgefield Community Center last night in honor of the 18-year old Olympic athlete.
The Luge competitor says his family has always supported him and knowing Ridgefield was behind him was a great feeling. He said the reception was awesome, it felt like he won a medal. The humble teen also said he felt unworthy of the town rallying together behind him. He added that he was unbelievably thankful for that support.
West says it only sunk in really during the opening ceremonies that he was competing in the Olympics. He described walking in with Team USA in their gear as honoring and overwhelming. He said there was a really camaraderie felt in the stadium that night.
West says it was nerve-wracking competing in the Olympics for the first time with a lot of people watching, but that he trained his whole life for that moment and he was ready.
His dad Brett says his son trained very hard and he's very proud. No American male singles luge athlete has medaled in the Olympics and says his son wants to be the first. He's so young, his first Olympics was supposed to be in 2018, but Brett says the experience in Sochi has redoubled his son's mental committment to the sport.
Tucker has moved on from his backyard luge track and trains in Lake Placid. Starting in November he will be in Europe competing in World Cups.

Our Nation's forests and grasslands provide some of the most important habitats for wildlife and fish. They provide countless benefits—ecological, recreational, economic, and cultural—to both nature and society. Existing and emerging threats, such as habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, affect the ability of our Nation's forests and grasslands to support healthy wildlife and fish populations for future generations.
Plants are also crucial to the maintenance of healthy ecosystems. Native plants provide natural beauty and help fend off invasive plants. Native plants also support wildlife, often serving as a source of food and shelter. Invasive plant species have the potential to permanently change a native plant community by taking over and outcompeting native plants.
How are we helping fish and wildlife?
Forest Service scientists study fish, wildlife and their habitats in order to inform land management and address existing and emerging threats, such as climate change and habitat fragmentation. Their work focuses on restoration and conservation of wildlife habitats and connectivity across large landscapes; effective management of terrestrial wildlife and their habitats under future climate scenarios; development of innovative protocols for inventory and monitoring of wildlife populations and habitats; and strategies to meet growing demands for water, energy, and other forest‐ and grassland-based commodities while ensuring the sustainability and diversity of wildlife and fish.
Between 2008 and 2015, the U.S. Forest Service and partners removed or upgraded over 1,000 culverts and road-stream crossings for Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) across the country courtesy of the Legacy Roads & Trails Program. One of the best investments our agency can make to help aquatic ecosystems respond to the stresses of a changing climate is to restore the ability of fish to move freely, including beneath our expansive road system. Fish need to be able to access many different parts of a stream network to find cold water during the summer, to spawn, and to feed so they can grow larger. Come explore this story map to see some examples from around the country of some of the outstanding partnership projects that helped the US Forest Service achieve this milestone for fish, aquatic health, flood resiliency and protection of local transportation infrastructure.
Featured bird
Sage Grouse: The elaborate plumage and courtship dances of the male Greater Sage-Grouse were once a common sight in the sagebrush landscapes of the American West. However, a variety of factors, including rural development and invasive species, have contributed to the loss and deterioration of sagebrush habitat. As a result, Greater Sage-Grouse populations have decreased dramatically. The Forest Service is working with the Bureau of Land Management and other agencies to maintain and restore key habitats for the Greater Sage-Grouse and other sagebrush-associated species. Learn more about Sage-Grouse conservation.
How are we helping plants?
Forest Service scientists work to preserve and protect native and rare plants through observation and research, and emphasize studies of non-native invasive species and plant pathogens that threaten native species. By outcompeting native species, invasive non-native plants jeopardize the health and sustainability of forest and rangeland ecosystems, as well as urban forests. Forest Service scientists study pathogens, such as sudden oak death, white pine blister rust, and thousand canker disease, that significantly affect U.S. forests and the many forest functions that people value, including clean air, water, timber, aesthetics, and recreation. The scientists develop tools and provide information to managers to help them manage invasive plants and restore impacted landscapes.
Invasive non-native plants, also known as weeds, threaten native species and ecosystems. Removed from their natural enemies, invasive plants are able to establish and thrive in their new surroundings, leading to sometimes drastic changes in native plant communities.
Plants are considered rare if there are just a few individuals left of the species or there are very few places where they can still be found. The rarest plants are those that have few individuals and a narrow geographic range. The Forest Service protects rare plants and their habitats by carefully managing activities on public lands where these special plants occur.
Featured plant
Leafy Prairie-Clover: This plant is located in only three areas: central Tennessee, north-central Alabama, and north-eastern Illinois. Leafy Prairie-Clover populations are being lost due to poor management skills as well as competition from invasive species, rock quarrying, and over-collecting. But thanks to a partnership between the Forest Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Leafy Prairie-Clover is making a comeback.

Featuring Bloodhound™ technology, the cobas m 511 combines a digital morphology analyzer, cell counter and classifier into one streamlined instrument preparing, staining and analyzing microscopy blood slides.
By counting, identifying, isolating and categorizing white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets and finally presenting the digital images of all these cell types on the Viewing Station including a standard CBC and 5 part differential, the cobas m 511 helps medical technologists concentrate on what really matters: finding and classifying abnormal cells within a patient sample.
Automatic mode 80 sample on-board capacity.
Slide input - Five cartridges of 100 slides each can be continuously loaded into system.
Open port - 30 μL blood volume required for full CBC, DIFF and morphology assessment.
Waste - System manages waste via plumbing disposal and containers.
STAT mode - Run up to 3 STAT samples at any time.
Slide output - Continuous unloading of processed and flagged sample slides.
Reagents - DigiMAC3 stain pack and DigiMAC3 wash designed for 1,000 cycles.
The future leading Bloodhound™ technology represents the core intelligence of the cobas m 511, which uses this unique approach to enter the new field of digital hematology.
Bloodhound™ technology analyzes the morphology of individual cells and presents the results of the analysis in detailed images for human interaction. Moreover, while medical technologists will continue to have the option of looking at slides under their microscopes, Bloodhound™ technology provides cell-by-cell images that, in many cases, may eliminate the need for microscopic review.
As opposed to the typical indirectly measured approaches used in blood analysis today - primarily impedance and flow cytometry - the Bloodhound™ technology images individual cells directly. Based on these direct images, the Bloodhound™ technology analyzes each cell's morphology, counts it, and then classifies all the cells in the viewing area to provide a CBC, 5-part differential, and reticulocyte count.
Fully integrated CBC + Differential, Slide preparation and Digital Morphology.
Combines quantitative and morphological data.
2 touch-points designed to reduce manual steps.
6 minutes from sampling to review of cell morphology.
The cobas m 511 integrated hematology analyzer uses the unique DigiMAC3 stain pack for a fully automated fix and stain of the microscopy slide and will process 1,000 cycles without replacement.
Due to an internal reservoir, the cobas m 511 integrated hematology analyzer holds enough reserve reagents to process 25 samples after the DigiMAC3 stain pack empties. Using a proprietary "hot swap" process, technicians can quickly change the DigiMAC3 stain pack while the instrument is still processing specimens, decreasing your downtime while increasing your lab's efficiency.
The cobas m 511 integrated hematology analyzer has several quality control features built into the graphical user interface (GUI) software that are designed to help to reduce subjectivity of cell identification and standardize the quality of the results, sample after sample.


Great first episode, my friend. What began for me in college with dramatic increases in heart rate, extreme dizziness, and profuse sweating, led to a number of doctor visits to rule out any physical maladies. Eventually diagnosed by a mental health professional with an anxiety disorder, I've coped for years using a variety of methods. Thanks for sharing your story. I look forward to following along.
Thanks, Todd. I had a similar experience when I was younger, and it's so difficult to accept our minds can do that to our bodies. I know I struggled with that often and in talking to the doctors was so frustrated that the answers never really came.
I' so glad you've found things that help you cope. That's a hard thing to do and quite an accomplishment. Thanks for following along and I'm glad you're here.

Poul Henningsen was born in Copenhagen to the famous Danish actress Agnes Henningsen. He never graduated as an architect, but studied at The Technical School at Frederiksberg, Denmark from 1911-14, and then at Technical College in Copenhagen from 1914-17.
He started practicing traditional functionalistic architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting which is what he is most famous for. He also expanded his field of occupation into areas of writing, becoming a journalist and an author. For a short period at the beginning of WWII, he was the head architect of the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. But like many other creative people, he was forced to flee Denmark during the German occupation but soon became a vital part of the Danish colony of artists living in Sweden.
His lifelong collaboration with Louis Poulsen Lighting began in 1925 and lasted until his death. To this day, Louis Poulsen Lighting still benefits from his genius. Poul Henningsen was also the first editor of the company magazine "NYT". The CEO of Louis Poulsen at the time, Sophus Kaastrup-Olsen, gave the magazine to PH as a gift because he had been terminated from the Danish newspaper he worked for (his opinions were too radical).
Poul Henningsen's pioneering work concerning the relations between light structures, shadows, glare, and color reproduction—compared to man's need for light remains the fondation of the lighting theories still practiced by Louis Poulsen Lighting.
Poul Henningsen designed the three-shade system back in 1925-1926. The first lights using the system were designed by Poul Henningsen in cooperation with Louis Poulsen for an exhibition in Paris. This partnership continued right up until his death in 1967. Throughout his life, Poul Henningsen sought to create glare-free light, direct light where it was most needed, and create soft shadows, using incandescent bulbs as a light source.
The PH 2/1 Pendant is a member of the three-shade family which numbers 30 lights today, including three for outdoor use. Thus Poul Henningsen did not just design a light, but an entire system – around a thousand different models have been produced over the years. This wide selection consisted of table, floor and wall lamps, as well as a number of different chandeliers, which were very popular in the 30s for lighting private homes from high ceilings.
There were countless combination options. The lights were available in different colours, as well as a range of sizes. The first shades were made of metal with a painted underside, such as white, gold or silver – depending on whether diffuse, warm or cold light was desired. Glass was later introduced for the three-shade system. In addition to the downward-directed light, glass lamps illuminated the room.
Poul Henningsen was the first person to pursue a scientific approach to light and use the logarithmic spiral as a basis. By using a design based on the logarithmic spiral he achieved even distribution of light over the entire curve of the shade. This even light distribution, together with the diffuse reflection through the glass, made it possible to control glare and shadow. Each shade reduces the amount of light equally, due to their distance from the light source.
The PH light model numbers refer to the shade size. Each top shade had a corresponding set of middle and lower shades. In the 'pure' models, such as the 2/2, the top shade has a size of about 20 cm, with corresponding lower shades. The PH 2/1 Pendant consists of an approximately 20 cm top shade, but uses lower shades from the 1/1 model. These 'hybrid' models were introduced due to the desire to hang the pendants at lower heights.

are passible bodies.
PLATO had taught, that, though all bodies are formed of matter, yet
matter itself is not a body; and the same idea is conveyed by ARISTOTLE,
in the Lib. de partibus animal. & earum causis, II c.i. "Prima statui
potest ea quж ex primordiis conficitur, iis quж nonnulli elementa
appellant terram dico, aquam aлrem & ignem: sed melius fortasse dici
potest ex virtutibus confici elementorum, iisque non omnibus sed ut ante
expositum est humiditus enim, & siccitas, & caliditas, and frigiditas,
materia sunt corporum compositorum."
GALEN also states, that in fire there exists a perfect heat and
dryness, in earth a perfect coldness and dryness, and so on of the rest
of the elements. For you cannot expect to find in nature a perfectly
simple and isolated element; because they are always mixed two or more
together. Hence the real terram, aquam, aлrem, and ignem, become rather
a metaphysical abstraction, than a real entity. That is to say, matter
has no real existence, but is mere quality; for earth is not the mere
representation of dry or siccum; it is the representative of siccitas,
or dryness: fire is not the eidolon of calidum, but of caliditas; water
of humiditas, and air of frigiditas. Yet all these elements are in
nature possessed of more than one property. Fire is hot and dry, earth
is dry and cold, water is cold and moist, &c. If we refer, however, to
his account of the soul, we perceive at once, that these inseparable
qualities of the elements are the real active agents of life. He plainly
declares, that the soul is the mere result of organization, and perishes
with the structure in which it dwells. He thinks, "corporis temperiem
censendum est." As to the active powers of the four primary qualities,
he says, "At mihi quidem tam venж, quam reliquarum particularum singulж,
ob certam quandam temperiem quam ex quatuor sunt qualitatibus nactж, hoc
vel illo modo videntur agere."--De nat. fac. I.
It is plain he thinks, that the elements consist of a materia and
qualitas; but they are elemental by the _qualitas_ and not by the
_materia_.
After establishing that there are four elements, which are the common
and simple bases of all things, he goes on to show, that the proper
proportion and admixture of these, constitute the healthy state of
living bodies. If the calidum, for example, be unduly increased, the
body is destroyed; if it be improperly diminished by excess of the
frigidum, it will also perish. The business of the physician is to keep
the proportions just and harmonious; but, as no pure element exists
alone, the physician must employ the qualitas in conjunction with the
materia. These (to make a phrase) substantive qualities, are found in
medicines or food, which, like all objects of sense, are either cold,
hot, dry, or moist, and available of course in the management of a cold,
hot, dry, or moist derangement of the living body.
The elements of the human body exist in the four humours, blood, bile,
atrabilis and pituita; and these four humours correspond in quality
with the elements. Blood, which is the reservoir or continent of them
all, is a temperate humour. Bile, being the representative of calidum,
is hot and dry. Melancholy represents, in our microcosm, the element
earth or siccum, and is dry and cold. But pituita, which is moist and
cold, corresponds with the humidum element. Air exists in animals nearly
pure, as we learn from the phenomena of the pulse and of respiration. It
answers to frigidum.
He shows us in his lib. de naturalib. facultat. that, out of the
humours, all the parts are formed, and these parts are either _similar_
or _dissimilar_; i. e. simple or compound. Bone is a similar part, that
is, it is a simple part; so is an artery, or vein, or ligament. Each of
these is so constituted, as that it has a predominance of one element in
its nature; and it is therefore dry, or cold, or moist, &c. But if an
adust element be, by accident or disease, accumulated in a part
naturally cold, the function of such part is morbidly affected. The
natural tendency, however, of similar humours to unite, causes each part
to receive its regular supply; a principle which BICHAT has since
characterized as, _contractilitй organique insensible_.
To show the wonderful simplicity of the Galenical system, which for
plainness and easy attainment may be compared with the improved
nomenclature of chemistry, we will cite a passage from ARGENTERIUS, who,
perhaps, was as learned in this kind of lore as any man of his time. In
his Tractatio de calidi significationibus, he says; "If any body would
undertake to give a general enumeration of those circumstances, in which
this term calidum and the others (frigidum, humidum, &c.) are applicable
to the explanation of this warmth, he shall find truly, that they are
the elements, the humours, the parts, the whole body, medicines, food,
air, climate, the weather, the season of the year, and even ages; for
these all are either temperate, or hot, or cold, or humid, or dry."
The animal body is moved and governed by two principles; one of them
corresponds to the _vie animale_ of BICHAT, and the other to the _vie
organique_. Since the power of sensation and of voluntary or elective
motion, says he, is a property of animals, and since that of growth and
nutrition is common both to animals and plants; the former may be called
attributes of the soul, and the latter attributes of nature. Whence we
say, that animals are governed by the soul and by nature, while plants
are governed by nature alone.
The powers of the body are faculties; and these are either natural,
vital, or animal: but they are so subdivided, that we have as many
faculties as there are sorts of action. Under the class of natural
faculties, we find three principal sorts; to wit, a facultas generatrix,
an auctrix, and a nutrix. But if you ask, says GALEN, how many faculties
there be, which result from the action of these on each other, you will
find them as numerous and diverse as there are numbers and diversities
of the animal parts. For example, we have an attractrix faculty, a
retentrix, alteratrix, expultrix, &c. &c., all of which are variously
modified, according to the nature of the similar or dissimilar parts
they are exercised in, or, in other words, according to the nature of
the tissues or organs, in which they reside.
Need we go further to show, that GALEN, believing all matter essentially
conjoined with the hypothetical caliditas, frigiditas, &c. &c., taught
that it was gifted with such a degree of inherent activity, as to render
it capable under certain states of combination, of exhibiting all the
phenomena of organic and animal life? It is certain that he regarded
these active qualities, as the causes of all the phenomena, whether of
living or dead matter.--GLISSON ought not certainly then to be regarded
as the author of this dogma in medical philosophy. PLATO certainly
taught it. VAN HELMONT could not get along without investing matter with
what he called a "seminal likeness, which is the more inward spiritual
kernel of the seed," &c. But we will let him speak for himself.
"Whatsoever," says V. H., "cometh into the world, must needs have the
beginning of its motions, the stirrer up and inward director of
generation. Therefore all things, however hard and thick they are, yet
before that their soundness, they inclose in themselves an air, which
representeth the inward future generation to the seed in this respect
fruitful, and accompanies the thing generated, even to the end of the
stage: which air, although it be in some things more plentiful, yet, in
vegetables it is pressed together in the show of a juice, as also in
metals it is thickened with a most thick homogeniety or sameliness of
kind. Notwithstanding this gift hath happened to all things, which is
called _archeus_, or chief workman, containing the fruitfulness of
generations or seeds, as it were the internal efficient cause; I say
that workman hath the likeness of the thing generated, unto the
beginning whereof, he composeth the appointments of things to be done.
But the chief workman consists of the _conjoining of the vital air_, as
of the matter, with the seminal likeness, which is the more outward
spiritual kernel, containing the fruitfulness of the seed; but the
visible seed is only the husk of this. This image of the master workman,
issuing out of the first shape or idea of its predecessor, or snatching
the same to itself out of the cup or bosom of outward things, is not a
certain dead image, but made famous by a full knowledge, and adorned
with necessary powers of things to be done in its appointment; and so it
is the first or chief instrument of life and feeling. But since every
corporeal act is limited into a body, hence it comes to pass, that the
archeus, the workman and governor of generations, doth clothe himself
presently with a bodily clothing. For in things soulified, he walketh
thorow all the dens and retiring places of his seed, and begins to
transform the matter according to the perfect act of his own image; for
here he placeth the heart, but there appointeth the brain, and he every
where limiteth an unmoveable chief dweller, out of his whole monarchy,
according to the bounds of requirance of the parts and appointments. At
length that president remaineth the overseer and inward ruler of the
bounds, even until death; but the other, floating about and being
assigned to no member, keeps the oversight over the particular pilots of
the members, being clear and never at rest or keeping holiday."
Notwithstanding the affected and euphuistic jargon of the above
passages, it is evident that VAN HELMONT'S idea is very similar to that
of GALEN. By seminal likeness, we are to understand an aptitude in
matter to take on certain determinate forms, and this may be supposed to

Meek Mill deletes music video snippet filmed at the Jubilee House after backlash
The building is the official presidential residence and office in Ghana.
By Regina Cho
Last month, Meek Mill spent time in Accra, Ghana to perform at Afro Nation and even shot a music video while he was there. Yesterday (Jan. 8), he shared a snippet on Instagram of said visual, which was filmed at the Jubilee House, but shortly afterward decided to delete it due to the backlash that ensued. The building serves as both the official presidential residence and office in Ghana, and many people found the decision to film a music video there to be disrespectful.
Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Ghana's former deputy education minister, questioned how the shoot was approved in the first place. "All those responsible for this despicable desecration of the Jubilee House by Meek Mill must be fired immediately. How do those explicit lyrics from the president's lectern project Ghana positively? Is Ghana's seat of government no longer a high security installation?" he tweeted.
"We are waiting for KON to come and tell us that Meek Mill's video was doctored or a CGI effect and that it wasn't the real Jubilee House right? Sure," journalist Ölele wrote in disbelief.
Back in November of 2022, the Philadelphia native dropped off his most recent mixtape, Flamerz 5, a 15-song offering with appearances from Tafia, Yung Ro, Vory, Kur, and Fridayy. His last full-length offering was 2021's Expensive Pain, his fifth studio LP, which featured contributions from Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Kehlani, A$AP Ferg, Moneybagg Yo, Giggs, Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, and more. The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
In related news, fans can expect Meek to drop a lot of new content sometime soon. "Dream Catching the movie. Date soon come #2023, first quarter," he posted on Instagram last week. "I been loading up for a reason. Let's ball!"

Eric Garner's daughter calls Tyre Nichols' footage a "public lynching"

The Edirol PCR-800 was the largest of its kind, and not just in size. Roland's discontinued the Edirol line and replaced this model with the Roland A-800PRO. This USB MIDI controller offers the same features as the Edirol model. It's very desirable among those either trying to master MIDI producing or adding a computer element to their live performances.
The A-800PRO is an improved machine from its predecessors with more than 45 assignable controller knobs, sliders, pads, and faders. The new velocity pads are perfect for assigning drum machines, triggering samples, cueing tracks, etc. You can use them as trigger buttons or velocity pads with the switch of a button.
Another great feature on the Roland A-800PRO has a new Dynamic Mapping system built in. This allows you make the MIDI controller compatible with many different software programs and assigning up to 15 different set-ups on your MIDI. The keyboard comes with Cakewalk Production Plus software and supports Windows 7 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
When it comes to actually "playing" the A-800PRO is a 61 velocity-sensitive key USB MIDI controller. The new keys are designed for better player expression with aftertouch sensors and smooth key action that allows for a wider range of playing styles. To add to the styles there is a nice modulation and pitch shifter to crank your noises to desired places.
The Roland A-800PRO is also very useful for a DJ style set-up since there is a new crossfader that can be used as a deck changer, a synthesizer filter, and much more. There are 8 sliders/faders as well that can be assigned for effect functions, used as organ drawbars, and what ever else you can think of.
On the left face of the machine is where you will conveniently find the power and MIDI IN/OUT plug-ins. Normally the rear panel is the preferred placement for such items, but Roland considered the use of their machine and placed the plug-ins on the side. This is especially useful in compact playing areas or simply for better overall live performances where you can get your A-800PRO right up against the face of your computer and play between the two easily.
The Roland A-800PRO is a great workstation for the beginner to serious MIDI players. Its features and design lay out make it very easy and comfortable when playing live or if you are being constricted to confined areas such as a classroom setting.


The Hillians made the long journey up to Suffolk, to face Needham Market, with manager Ian Chapman making six changes to the side who were defeated by Thurrock - including a 3rd debut for on loan youngster, Lucas Rodrigues.
The Hillians settled the better and striker Ibrahim Forfana headed across goal and narrowly wide on 11 minutes.
It was in fact the home side who broke the deadlock in the 35th minute, as skipper Gareth Heath fired home, following Sands' blocked effort.
The Hillians remain three points adrift of nearest rivals, Harlow Town, with two games in hand remaining on the 'Hawks'.
Next up, Burgess Hill welcome Sammy Moore's Leatherhead to the Green Elephants Stadium, on Saturday 10th March.
Thank you to all Hillians fans who made the long journey to support the club, we cannot emphasise enough how grateful we are for your continued support. Keep believing, we will keep battling!

Watch the Unofficial YouTube Documentary of the Minnesota Vikings (If You Dare)
Scotty Matthews Published: March 31, 2017
Personally, I would have gone with the title: "Caving In".
The Love Boat. The Whizzinator. 41-Donut. The Herschel Walker Trade. Bounty-gate. The Metrodome Roof Collapse... and then there's Super Bowls IV, VIII, IX and XI.
I could go on and on. Trust me, I'm a tried and true fan. I "bleed purple". I've experienced, or know someone in my family who's lived through all the headaches and heartbreaks of this god-forsaken team!
Having said all that, I'm excited to share there's a new documentary out about what it's like to be a fan of the Minnesota Vikings!
I mean sure, it's not all bad.
It does take you through the excitement of Moss' rookie season, a ton of vintage Adrian Peterson runs towards the endzone, winning several division championships and even those four Super Bowl appearances... but with pleasure comes the pain of some of those tough playoff losses along with other forms of heartbreak over the past 50+ years since the team first took the field in 1961.
Being a fan of the purple as long as I can remember, I've definitely seen my fair share of losing. But I've also been at a ton of games at both the Metrodome and TCF Bank Stadium where we've destroyed the other team (most often the Chicago Bears) and had seen a Top 10 highlight on ESPN.
It's on my bucket list to get to US BANK Stadium this year.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you have 80 minutes to spare (because let's face it, we're all suckers for punishment) then you should definitely watch this:
