CamCreative Focus Group: can the app save the album?
The Cultures of the Digital Economy (CoDE) Research Institute is currently investigating the use of apps as a new album release format, and now we're asking for your input.
Making creativity pay and keeping control of how your work is presented are two of the biggest challenges facing any artist. If you're a musician, right now those challenges seem insurmountable. Piracy and paltry digital download fees mean getting paid is harder than ever, while streaming services like Spotify and single-song download shopfronts like iTunes mean presenting a coherent piece of work - an album, in other words - is almost impossible.
The Cultures of the Digital Economy (CoDE) Research Institute is currently investigating the use of apps as a new album release format, not just preserving the original track listing alongside cover art, sleeve notes and credits but adding a variety of enhanced and interactive content. We've produced an 'album app' for Anglo-French indie band François and the Atlas Mountains, which was released in March alongside the regular album formats (CD, vinyl, download), and now we're asking for your input.
Dr Rob Toulson, Director of CoDE, and copywriter David Greeves will explain the idea behind the project, demonstrating the app itself and asking for your feedback. Is this a viable way to release music and get people to pay for it? What creative possibilities do you see in the format? What do you really care about when it comes to the music you love?
Anglia Ruskin and CoDE want to hear from musicians, designers, app developers, music lovers and anyone with an interest in the difficult task of taking creative work to market.
Come and hear about a fascinating project and help push things forward.

Suspect Murdered Three Men Whose Bodies Were Left on Atlanta-Area Golf Course: Police
Aaron KellerJul 8th, 2021, 9:04 pm
Bryan Rhoden is seen in a Cobb County, Ga. jail mugshot.
County authorities in Georgia, along with the U.S. Marshals Service and the Chamblee, Ga. Police Department, have arrested a man in connection with the shooting deaths of three people whose bodies were discovered on an Atlanta-area golf course over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
Bryan Anthony Rhoden was arrested at about 5:30 p.m., the Cobb County Sheriff's Office said in a tweet. He was asked to report to the Chamblee Police Department on other charges, Atlanta FOX affiliate WAGA-TV reported, and was taken into custody in connection with the golf course killings. However, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Rhoden "did not turn himself in" — though he was described as "unarmed and arrested without incident."
Chamblee is about twenty minutes north of downtown Atlanta.
Chief Tim Cox of the Cobb County Police Department said in a Thursday evening news conference that Rhoden was being charged with three counts of murder, three counts of aggravated assault, and two counts of kidnapping. Rhoden was arrested pursuant to a warrant, Cox said; he added that Rhoden had ties to the Atlanta metro area.
Cox described Rhoden as the "lone shooter" in the case.
MEDIA ALERT: At around 5:30 p.m. Thursday, July 8, the @CobbSheriff Fugitive Unit and the U.S. Marshal's Southeastern Regional Task Force along with the Chamblee Police Dept. apprehended Bryan Rhoden in Chamblee, GA.
The suspect is being interviewed by @cobbpolice1.
— Cobb County Sheriff's Office (@CobbSheriff) July 8, 2021
Golf pro Gene Siller was shot to death at the Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw on the afternoon of July 3rd, authorities have previously said. They believe Siller stumbled across the killings of Henry Valdez, 46, of Anaheim, Calif., and Paul Pierson, 76, of Topeka, Kan., and was likely killed for having done so. The two latter men were found dead in the back of a white Dodge Ram pickup truck which was leaning into a sand trap on the tenth hole of the golf course. Pierson owned the truck.
An arrest warrant released Friday says Rhoden "bound the hands, legs, and mouth" of both Valdez and Pierson "with tape." The documents also accuse Rhoden of Driving the truck with the bodies of those two men in the bed of the vehicle.
Cox said Thursday evening that several of his officers "slept in their offices" while "tirelessly" trying to solve the perplexing case.
Cobb County Police Chief Tim Cox announces the arrest on the evening of Thursday, July 8.
"His name came up within a few days," Cox said of Rhoden, but Cox refused to release details as to precisely how or why.
The chief reiterated that the investigation was still open.
Cox added that the suspect did have a prior arrest record but would not go into detail.
"I realize that some members of the community felt some frustration" due to the "limited information" that has been disseminated to date, Cox said. He said he was most worried about providing "justice" to the victims' families and that his "number one" goal is a successful prosecution — which oftentimes takes time and holding some information close to the vest.
Cox said he could not discuss why the suspect may have driven onto the golf course in the first place. It has been widely reported that neither Valdez nor Pierson had ties to the country club.
The scene of the alleged murders at the Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, Ga.
As Law&Crime was the first to report on Thursday evening, jail records available through the DeKalb County, Ga., Sheriff's Office indicate that an inmate bearing the name Bryan Anthony Rhoden was booked on July 4 at 1:54 a.m. — the night after the three men's bodies were discovered on the golf course in Cobb County — and was subsequently released on bond on July 6 at 8:35 p.m. Arrest information attached to that booking report indicates that Rhoden was suspected of six charges in DeKalb County which are alleged to have occurred at some point on July 3. Those six charges are DUI, driving an unregistered vehicle, carrying a false identification document, operating a vehicle without insurance, acquiring a license plate for the purpose of concealing the identification of a motor vehicle, and a headlight violation. All are misdemeanors. It was not immediately clear from the records what connection, if any, those six incidents may have had to the July 3 incident at the golf course, as the assembled authorities who spoke on Thursday evening (July 8) did not divulge details about their murder suspect beyond confirming that he had a prior arrest record.
Bryan Anthony Rhoden is seen in a DeKalb County mugshot.
A court docket entry appearing on the DeKalb County Judicial Information System website indicates that a prosecution was commenced concerning the six misdemeanors, but it does not contain much additional relevant information. Rhoden, as charged in the DeKalb County case, is listed as 23 years old and as having a midtown Atlanta address. The arresting agency on the misdemeanors was the Chamblee Police Department.
Though the authorities on Thursday did not directly identify the Bryan Anthony Rhoden charged in the six DeKalb County misdemeanors the same suspect accused of committing the triple alleged murders, a warrant document filed Friday in the Cobb County golf course confirms that the name and address of the suspect there is the same as in the DeKalb County case. Jail records in Cobb County also contain the same address.
Records maintained by the Cobb County Jail say Rhoden was booked in that jurisdiction starting at 11:22 p.m. on Thursday, July 8. The booking process is listed as having been completed at 5:12 a.m. on Friday, July 9. Rhoden remains in custody in Cobb County as of the time of this writing. A court appearance is scheduled for Friday evening.

Bennett: DU volume four…/2010/01/08/bennett-du-volume-four/
December 29, 2018 ~ nemonemini
Bennett: DU volume four…
Here is the introduction to Volume Four of Bennett's The Dramatic Universe. This volume is of interest because of its historical/evolutionary topics, and, as noted, the best critique is to simply cite and discuss some of its issues. T he book is filled with some brilliant ideas, but tends to fall apart as one examines it.
It is said that a man needs a guru. I think that Bennett needed the absence of one: his brilliant intellect was corrupted by contact with Gurdjieff, and the result is the failure of his masterwork, which nonetheless has some interesting ideas.
This last volume of our survey of the Dramatic Universe is devoted
to History, and especially to the history of the human mind. In a very
significant sense, History is the content of the mind; for all that has
happened since the world began is present to the mind, notwithstanding
that only an infinitesimal part can be discerned in any detail. Con-
versely, it can validly be said that without mind there would be no
history-nothing but an endless array of meaningless transformations
of matter and energy.
The intimate connection between Mind and History is made in the
Present Moment. The present moment is the totality of immediate
experience both actual and possible. All that is experienced is present,
but it does not follow that what is not experienced is not present. As we
read a book only one page is directly experienced; but all the rest are
present and so too are the other unnoticed books on the shelves behind
us. The Present Moment is the one immediate certainty of our experi-
ence and yet it is vaguely outlined and its content varies in many differ-
ent ways. Moreover, the 'present moment' of one person is different
from that of another. Much the same can be said of both mind and
history. There are separate minds, partial minds, collective minds, and
there are also 'other' minds.
We are accustomed to associate history with the 'past' and indeed
as a convenient mode of description this works well enough. But we do
not directly experience the past, except in rare states of consciousness
when it appears to' be present. The 'past' is a verbal fiction that, when
taken to refer to some actual object, can be very misleading. Without
mind, no meaning could be assigned to the word 'past', as all events'
,,:ould have an equal status within the 'AbsolEte World'~ For mind, the
situation is totally different i.. so different indeed that mind cannot
conceive mindlessness, but unfailingly projects itself into the entire
COntent of its own experience. This makes it hard to realize that historical
reality is substantially different from the simple sequence of events.
Thus we fall into the two-fold illusion of supposing that we can con-
te~plate history without mindand mind without history. This involves
Us in the further error of supposing that we can contemplate anything
at all except the content of the present moment.
If We put aside this last error and accept that all experience is in the
present moment; we have to choose between solipsism, or the doctrine
I that only 'my' present moment is real, and coalescence, or the belief that
the present moments of separatgjselves can be united within a Greater
Present. In the present volume, we shall adopt the second alternative
and take it as the foundation of a view of history that treats the real
world as a Chinese nest of present moments containing, and contained
by, others. This view agrees with our private experience that is always
'of' the present moment and yet is constantly varying in extent, dura-
tion and content. The apparent incongruity of treating history as if it
were contained in the present moment, is due to the habit of thought,
prevalent for thousands of years among speakers of the Indo-European
group of languages, of treating experience as a linear sequence of _
events. 'Time', according to this habit of thought, appears as an in-
dependent reality in which 'before and after' and 'past, present and'
future' have objective meaning apart from the experience they qualify.
It is not easy for those who are conditioned by linguistic form to enter
into the experience of others who, though also conditioned by their own
modes of thought, are free from the illusion that the nature of time is
adequately expressed by the past, present and future tenses of the
Indo-European verb. The sense of the Present Moment is conveyed
with great force in the Semitic languages, which have no intrinsic verbal
forms for expressing the flow of time.
We cannot abandon our native languages, but we can seek to remedy
their defects. The habit of treating time as an objective reality has been
to some extent cured in modern physics by relativity and quantum
. theory, which help us to put aside the illusions of an absolute time
and of continuous process. Experimental psychology has shown that
the duration and extent of the present moment can be measured for
different forms of experience and that it combines, dissociates and
changes with variations in mental state: We use forms of speech that
affirm the universal significance ot 'here and now', such as when we say
'at the present moment' or, more rhetorically, 'we who are privileged to
share in this present historic moment'. The intuitive awareness that
present moments can coalesce into a greater present is no illusion but,
on the contrary, of great positive significance. The present moment does >
undoubtedly change, contract, expand, divide and coalesce, and yet it
always remains unique and unlike any other kind of situation. The
point is that all actual experience is contained in the present moment
and it is not to be found elsewhere.
The usage of the term 'present moment' refers to periods of time
which vary from seconds to centuries and from the transient states of
A single person to the common experience of many, even millions. We
must therefore look for some common feature and this we find in the
connection between the 'present' and the 'Will'.
The peculiarity of the present moment consists in that its uniqueness
does not imply singularity: but, that it is always experienced as the only
one of its kind. In this respect it resembles a formal property like
roundness. There is, nothing like roundness- it is the only one of its
kind and therefore unique. But it is not singular for we meet with many
instances of roundness. This may give us the key to grasping the charac-
ter of the present moment. Just as roundness is the property common
I to all round objects, so is the present moment the property common to
all centres of experience. We cannot write 'selves' for centres of experi-
ence, because we have seen that the present moment can be shared by
many.:We~~an write Will, but the justification fordoing so cannot be
developed here: It has been suggested in Vol. II in connection with
Individuality and Self~hood and it was reinforced in Vol. III in con-
nection with Human S~deties. As the purpose of this Introduction is
to indicate the lines we propo~e to follow in our account of history, we
shall make the assumption that the apparent contradiction of the
uniqueness and non-singularity of the Present Moment is due to a
property of the Will that is not recognized in Our usual modes of thought.
With this assumption we can say that the Will determines the extent
and character of the Present Moment. All that is outside the sway of
any particular will is also ouside its present moment. It follows that
the present moment is perpetually being invaded, enriched, weakened,
strengthened, by the influx and efflux of elements extraneous to the
will. Among these elements are traces and memories that we refer to
the 'past'; expectations, fears, foresights, that we refer to the 'future';
forms and patterns that we relate to eternity and acts of separation and
coalescence conditioned by hyparxis. These various eleme'nts are all
experienced within the present moment, but they originate outside it.
An important group of these elements that enter and leave the present
Illoment gives rise to the experience that we interpret as Time. We do
not question the authenticity of the experience of successiv~ changes in
the Content of the present moment, nor the validity of the distinction'
between traces and memories on the one hand and expectations on the
Other. We do, however, question the common assumption that memory
refers to experiences that 'no longer exist' and ~xpectation to experi-
ences that 'do not yet exist'. If the present moment is enlarged a
Illernory becomes a present experience. It can also happen that an
el:pectation becomes a present experience-for example in the pheno-
menon of pre-cognition. Since enlargement and contraction of the
present moment may occur to any degree-at any rate we know no
limits to the possibility-there is no justification for saying that there is
a,h absolute past or an absolute future or even that 'before and after' can
always be predicated of two events. Situations that, for our small present
moment, appear to be separated by the relation of before and after may,
for another and greater will than ours, all be here and now. The same
argument applies to separation in space. That which on one scale is 'at
a.distance', on another scale is 'here'. My own house is here and now
for my personal life and other houses are 'at a distance'. But for my life
as a member of a community all houses in the village and all its inhabi-
tants are here and now. Such modes of coalescence are familiar to us,
but we do not recognize that they depend upon acts of will. They are
transformations of extent and content of the present moment brought
about by a shift of the interest or attention. This is, whether conscious
or unconscious, an act of will. The man who has no will to be a citizen
does not belong to the present moment of the city and is not even aware
The connection between space-like coalescence and will is not hard to
recognize. That which arises in time-like experience is harder to accept.
And yet it should be obvious that a 'past' moment can become 'present'
if we accept its present reality and do not thrust it away from us. We
live in a small world because we have a small will. Development and
evolution in the true sense involve coalescences of will, and so the en-
largement of the Present Moment. Coalescence of the will comes 'by
its exercise and this is possible because it is opposed by a disintegrating
or disordering tendency that invades the present moment. Here we
meet the true character of Time. Time is the name that we give to the
disruptive influence that enters our present moment. In so far as we
succumb to this influence, we find past and future separated from us
and from each other. We do not readily grasp that the disruption is
due to the weakness of our own will. Hence we treat time as an objective
reality and the temporal sequence as independent of man or of any other
mode of existence.
In the present volume, we shall start with an examination of the
various ways in which the present moment seeks to preserve its identity
against the disruptive influences that enter it. We refer to these collec-
tively as the War with Time.
Within the present moment, there is a state of change or flux. This is
of at least two kinds, that can be called causal and purposive. We ca.n
distinguish also insignificant and significant change. The first kind is
unrelated to the wilt that characterizes the present moment, while the
other stems directly or indirectly from acts of will. These two kinds of
change correspond to 'happening' and 'history'. In this way, we pass
from the study of experience as the given totality to the discrimination
~f direction and purpose transcending the immediate present.
Significance cannot be predicated of a situation that has no recog-
nizable order. And since significance is certainly relative, there must
be more orderly and less orderly situations. The hierarchy of order cor-
responds to the series of multi-term systems introduced in Vol. II and
more fully developed in Chapter 37 of Vol. III. With the help of the
results obtained we shaH set up a Systematics of History in Chapter 43.
In this way, we shall connect history with the present moment and the
struggle between Order and Disorder that we have called the War with
Having laid the foundations of our historical studies, we shall exa-
mine the story of this earth and the appearance and evolution of life
to the point where the organization of sensitivity in the higher animals
made possibl~the arising of Mind. The seven chapters of Part 17 will
be devoted to the History of Mind until it reaches the Present Moment
shared by the writer and the readers of this book. We shall end with
a survey of 'expectations' that will take us beyond the present situation
into the future of mankind,
The concept of the _present moment as the total situation accessible
to the operations of a 'will' is decisive for understanding the Universal
Drama and its projections-into the life of man. The concept is exceed-
ingly hard to seize and it is irreducible to simpler terms. In Vol. II we
devoted five chapters, 27-31, to the study of will. At that stage, we
identified will and relatedness, so making the triad the characteristic
system for the operations of the will. We do not find it necessary to
mOdify in any radical manner the conclusions then reached-particularly
those referring to Self-hood and Individuality-but the emphasis should
no~ be so eXclusively placed upon the triadic property of relatedness.
~dl manifests in every structure as the principle whereby the structure
IS ~t~uctured. In the tetrad, it is the principle of order and directed
~ctlVltY.)n the pentad, will means the principle of significance where-"
y the present moment seeks to expand into the unpresent. The six-
term system of the will is the form of its coalescence. A coalescence is an
element of the historical process; it is directed, purposive and structured.
n coalescence, the present moment realizes its own pattern and
coalescence means a concerted and complex act of will.
rom these notions, we come to that of progress as the transformation
of the present moment from a state of lower order and organization to a
state of higher and more stable organization. The difference between
this view of progress and those commonly held is that ~t does not
distinguish between subjective and objective order. The entire present
moment subject to the sway of the will is the field of the ordering
activity. Inner and outer order are separable in theory but not in prac-
tice. In this light, history acquires an unique significance as the self-
realization of will. That which was fragmented and therefore transient,
is in process of coalescence whereby its unity will be restored. This
coalescence brings together fragments of will and builds them into a
complex, organized structure. The history of mind shows us how this
process operates. Understanding of the Historical Process resolves the
enigma of the Dramatic Universe and provides an answer to our initial
question as to the meaning and purpose of human life on the earth.
The study of history is thus the best and even the only possible final
stage of the enquiry to which these four volumes have been addressed.

John Naughton's online diary
Essays, reviews and longer pieces
Lectures, talks & interviews
Friday 10 April, 2020
Posted on April 10, 2020 by jjn1
It might come to that yet. Some of the largest producers of wheat and rice, namely Kazakhstan and Vietnam, have suspended exports. This suggests that they may be anticipating severe disruption to their domestic supplies. The UK imports 50% of some of the foodstuffs we consume.
Sure, the lockdown saves lives that might otherwise be lost to Covid-19. But what about the avoidable deaths it might also be causing?
Fraser Nelson, the Editor of The Spectator has a startling article in today's Daily Telegraph about the other side of social distancing and self-isolation. Here's the core bit that struck me:
Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, had been working with the Prime Minister on the next step: how to stop the end of lockdown being seen as a question of "lives vs money". As a former economic adviser, Hancock is certainly mindful of the money: a £200 billion deficit could mean another decade of austerity. But other figures – infections, mortality rates and deaths – are rightly holding the national attention. Phasing out the lockdown needs to be spoken about in terms of lives vs lives. Or, crudely, whether lockdown might end up costing more lives than the virus.
Chris Whitty, the chief medical officer, has worried about this from the offset. In meetings he often stresses that a pandemic kills people directly, and indirectly. A smaller economy means a poorer society and less money for the NHS – eventually. But right now, he says, there will be parents avoiding the NHS, not vaccinating their children – so old diseases return. People who feel a lump now may not get it checked out. Cancer treatment is curtailed. Therapy is abandoned.
Work is being done to add it all up and produce a figure for "avoidable deaths" that could, in the long-term, be caused by lockdown. I'm told the early attempts have produced a figure of 150,000, far greater than those expected to die of Covid.
Nelson is pretty well-connected, so there might be something in this. And, as he points out, all of these numbers come from modelling studies, so should be treated cautiously. But, he says, estimates of lockdown victims are being shared among those in government who worry about the social damage now underway: the domestic violence, the depression, even suicides accompanying the mass bankruptcies. But since these are deaths that may, or may not, show up in national figures in a year's time, it's hard to weigh them up against a virus whose victims are being counted every day.
What all of this says to me is that the only reasonable way forward is gradual easing accompanied by dramatic increases in the production of N95 masks.
"War" is the wrong framing for this crisis
I'm as remiss as everyone else in thinking about the current crisis as a 'war' against the virus. So one resolution I've made today is to avoid using the metaphor in future.
Of course some of the measures now in force in the UK and elsewhere are reminiscent of 'real' wartime (e.g. 1939-1946). The burgeoning political talk about an "exit strategy" is likewise misleading, because it implies that, one day, victory over the virus will be achieved. In that sense it's a bit like the so-called 'war on terror', which is really a war on an idea — and therefore never-ending.
There is no end to this, because the virus is a product of nature, and nature will be around long after humans have disappeared from the earth.
Besides, if the virus is an adversary, then it seems to hold most of the cards. It has reduced us to huddling in our caves, for example, while it does its own thing regardless. The human delusion of 'taming' nature was always hubris. Now we're coming to terms with the inevitable nemesis.
And of course this is a tea-party compared to climate change.
Quarantine reading: Emily Wilson
The TLS has a nice compendium of what its various writers and reviewers are reading under lockdown. I was struck by this passage from Emily Wilson's notes:
In my minimal work time, I am engaged in my translation of the Iliad. I'm now in the throes of Book 5, in which Diomedes confronts the gods on the battlefield. The idea of theomachy – in which a mortal human being grapples with immortal, unkillable, superhuman forces – takes on a new resonance now that far-shooting Apollo, god of plague, has afflicted our world with Covid-19. I began working on this translation at a time when the theme of sudden premature violent death, afflicting vast numbers of the population and bringing down prosperous cities and cultures, seemed relatively distant from my lived reality. Now, I feel haunted in new ways by the poem's awareness that people can die far from home, far from their loved ones; that wealthy, beautiful, successful cities can be totally destroyed; that the squabbles of a privileged few can cost numberless people their lives, as well as their culture's prosperity. It isn't escapism, but there is a kind of comfort in the sense of being in an imaginary poetic landscape that feels so heartbreaking, so human and so truthful.
ps: Her translation of the Odyssey is terrific.
Why learning from other people's mistakes is a useful skill
Lovely post by Alex Tabarrok.
People get good at something when they have repeated attempts and rapid feedback. People can get pretty good at putting a basketball through a hoop. But for other decisions we only get one shot. One reason South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan have been much better at handling coronavirus is that within recent memory they had the SARS and H1N1 flu pandemics to build experience. The US and Europe were less hit by these earlier pandemics and responded less well. We don't get many attempts to respond to once-in-a-lifetime events.
Even as coronavirus swept through China and Italy, many people dismissed the threat by thinking that we were somehow different. We weren't. Even within the United States some people think that New York is different. It's not. Most people learn, if they learn at all, from their own experiences, not from the experiences of others–even others like them. Learning from your own mistakes and experiences is a good skill. Many people make the same mistakes over and over again. But learning from other people's mistakes or experiences is a great skill of immense power. It's rare. Cultivate it.
The Zoombot arrives
It's possible to have too much of a good thing. Already people working from home have discovered that they have too many Zoom meetings. The bad habits of organizations — especially their addiction to meetings — is being replicated online. I know people who have been online all week and have decided to have nothing to do with screens over this holiday weekend.
But help is at hand. Popular Mechanics reports that Matt Reed, a technologist at redpepper, a marketing design firm in Nashville, has created an AI-powered "Zoombot" that can sit in on video calls for you.
It all began when he noticed someone on Twitter (jokingly) complaining they don't have time to go outside anymore because they're always on Zoom calls.
"I was thinking, 'How can I get someone out of this? What if you need to take a bathroom break, or you want to take a walk during a one-hour conference call? I wanted to find a funny take. We try not to take ourselves too seriously [at redpepper] but we still like to show what's possible."
For now, the project is tongue-in-cheek; Reed's doppelgänger is a little slow to respond, doesn't really blink, and uses a robotic voice similar to voice assistants like Siri or Alexa. But the code's up on Github, so it'll get smarter quickly. Stay tuned.
It's the kind of thing that restores one's faith in humanity.

St. Croix 1st Annual Ice Fishing Showcase
By Dennis Foster | October 4, 2018 | Comments Off on St. Croix 1st Annual Ice Fishing Showcase
1st Annual Ice Fishing Showcase
Live streamed seminar featuring top ice fishing experts; see in person the hottest rods, reels, shacks, augers, baits and more on Saturday, November 10 in Park Falls, WI
Park Falls, WI (October 4, 2018) – Come to St. Croix Rod's factory store in Park Falls, Wisconsin on Saturday, November 10th, between 7 am and 5 pm, and you're guaranteed to handle the hottest new ice rods in the sport.
"In a region where ice fishing is part of anglers' DNA, we know just how important ice fishing is to everyone from youth anglers to the elder statesmen," says St. Croix Rod's Director of Marketing Jesse Simpkins. "For the three to four months of the ice season when water turns hard, people still want to fish…and fish hard… and we cater to that."
Hence the company's first annual St. Croix Ice Showcase featuring CROIX CUSTOM ICE rods, which customers who visit Park Falls, Wisconsin, on Saturday, November 10th, will be invited to experience. And, much like a mini trade show, St. Croix has also invited several other companies to attend their inaugural Ice Showcase, including Daiwa, Eskimo, EuroTackle, and others who will be allowing ice anglers to get a close-up look at their reels, shacks, augers, baits, electronics, and much, much more.
"Ultimately, it's going to be a fun day for consumers to get ready for the impending ice season and really get their hands on the latest and greatest gear to make the most of their time on hardwater," says Ryan Teach, St. Croix's Factory Store Manager.
But that's not all; the Showcase will also be a great opportunity to learn from some of the best anglers on ice like Tony Roach, Joel Nelson, James Lindner and Grant Sorenson. In fact, if you can't make it to the Ice Showcase in person at Park Falls, you can still catch seminars from the aforementioned anglers on the web via www.LakeLink.com between 2:00 and 3:30 pm CST on the same day!
First and foremost, Tony, Joel, James and Grant will cover St. Croix's newest and most celebrated rod series in the ice fishing category, CROIX CUSTOM ICE.
"Committed to making the 'Best Rods on Earth', these anglers actually worked through six iterations of each model with our Engineering Team to get them where they did exactly what they wanted them to do," says Jason Brunner, Director of Engineering. "What you'll find is a series of rods that feature extreme-performance blanks with designs and materials specific to each model. The series incorporates five distinct blank platforms in solid and tubular configurations, depending on the application. 60% are tubular in construction and expertly rolled in Park Falls, Wisconsin. In fact, every Croix Custom Ice rod is handcrafted in Park Falls."
Speaking of the application, the on-site pro ice anglers will also review their own specific areas of expertise, which will cover the best rod, reel, line and baits to match to each fishing technique. Again, those seminars will be live-streamed between 2:00 and 3:30 pm via www.LakeLink.com.
But, if possible, Teach encourages customers to physically visit the event to take full advantage of sales specials on a variety of St. Croix items and those from visiting, supporting sponsors.
"We are really looking forward to the Ice Showcase as not only a way to show off our 10 new CROIX CUSTOM ICE rods — which include models for techniques ranging from Sight-Bite and Pan Finesse to Outside Eye and Apex Predator — but also as a way to bring passionate ice anglers and St. Croix enthusiasts together in one place to discuss the best ways to prepare for the certainty of hardwater fun," says Teach.

Sensodyne Pronamel Gentle Whitening Toothpaste is specially formulated to protect against acid erosion and also gently yet effectively remove stains, restoring teeth to their natural whiteness. As it contains fluoride it also provides the benefits of a regular toothpaste.
Dentists have reported a growing dental health concern due to changing modern diets: 'acid erosion' or 'acid wear'. Even teeth without cavities can be affected.
As the enamel becomes thinner, teeth become visibly less white, weaker and sensitive.
Everyday foods such as fruit, sodas, orange juice and wine contain acids that soften the enamel surface which is then more easily worn away by brushing. As the enamel layer becomes thinner, teeth can become visibly less white and older looking.
.Builds increasing protection against painful sensitivity of the teeth due to cold, heat, acids, sweets, or contact. Aids in the prevention of dental cavities.
Instructions: Adults and children 6 years of age and older: Brush teeth thoroughly, preferably after each meal or at least twice a day, or as directed by a dentist or doctor.
Children under 6 years: Do not use unless directed by a dentist or doctor. Supervise children as necessary until capable of using without supervision.
Warnings: Sensitive teeth may indicate a serious problem that may need prompt care by a dentist. Stop use and ask a dentist if the problem persists or worsens. Do not use longer than 4 weeks unless recommended by a dentist or doctor. Keep out of reach of children. If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help right away.


Lavender Cedarwood Concentrated Room Spray is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 17.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JRCCT from Love this Spray. Lasts as long as regular sprays. This scent is pleasant and intense. It lingers for a long time when sprayed I was also pleased that it lasts as long if not longer than my glade container.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DigitalTipz from Lovely scent! Very relaxing. Beautiful balance of lavender and cedarwood. One small spritz will do ya! A highly concentrated, wonderful scent. Spritz your meditation space or bedroom 10 mins before use and melt into relaxation.
Rated 5 out of 5 by K La from Great throw! Fills up a room I love the Aromatherapy line, specifically the Lavendar & Cedarwood scent. This is a great room spray, 1-2 small spritz of this fills up an entire room.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brnsuggabbb from Calming This is a relaxing armor and carry the smell Instantly simply love it !
Rated 3 out of 5 by flowrymallry from Okay, not enough lavender. Returned. I like lavender by itself, in all its glory (e.g. I have fresh lavender bushes growing outside my house!). This was not enough lavender for me, too much cedarwood. Returned this one, and bought Lavender Vanilla room spray online instead.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JerseyJac from Works Great! I still can't believe how much I love this scent! I love the body lotion, for my hands especially. That led to the candle, and now this spray. It truly is relaxing. If the previous reviewer's comments don't convince you of that, nothing will. I love the lavender smell. I was afraid of the cedarwood initially, but it's proven to be so nice! I sprayed my bedroom with 2 pumps and thought it was a little light. I'm so used to these sprays being strong. So I did 1 more squirt, and left the room. A few minutes later, I was smelling it in my living room. The strength is there. It's not overpowering at all, and that's why I like it so much. I would definitely recommend this spray for relaxation and help with sleeping if you need it. Not to mention it just smells that nice!
Rated 5 out of 5 by OCgirl2004 from It worked! I care for my elderly mother who has Alzheimer's and in case you don't know it's very stressful for the caregiver. The day I received this, my mom started "sundowning" verrrrrry badly late in the day/early evening. She kept asking the same question over and over and over and over again - ever single minute (like clockwork). I sprayed "Relax" near where she was sitting.......and within a couple minutes, she was just fine. Unbelievable, and she has never ever (ever) stopped sundowning like that. Wow! One more thing, it also helped me relax since she was driving me to the looney bin. I've used the Stress Relief candle on myself and it worked, so I thought maybe this would help equally as much... and I'll be back for more.
Rated 5 out of 5 by NurseDeb from Love the new fragrance! So, I'm a die-hard Lavender Vanilla Pillow Spray girl, and I was SO sad it was discontinued! I decided to try this new scent and to my surprise I really like it!! Its completely different from my old fav (why do you guys have to discontinue lines??) but I'm ok with stocking up on this one and hope to make it a new favorite!
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kay80915 from Terrible! I love the pumpkin room sprays but this one is going back for an exchange. It smells like chemicals, not like essential oils. I had really high hopes for this one too! I'll stick with actual essential oils in a spray bottle to smell lavender and cedarwood.

"We Can do Anything Provided No One Cares Who Gets the Credit" Joe Rochefort, Station Hypo, and the Intelligence that Helped Win the Battle of Midway
Friends of Padre Steve's World,
Johhn F. Kennedy noted that "Victory has a hundred fathers, but defeat is an orphan."
This week many people, especially those in the Navy, will be remembering the Battle of Midway on its 78th anniversary. One of its one hundred fathers was not appreciated or honored in the way he deserved, Commander Joe Rochefort.
The victory at Midway would not have happened without the exceptional intelligence gathering and code breaking by the cryptologists of Combat Intelligence Unit – Station Hypo – at Pearl Harbor under the command of Commander Joseph Rochefort. He and his small yet skillful team cracked the Japanese Naval code in time for Admiral Chester Nimitz to make the correct decision as to where to send his tiny carrier task forces to oppose the massive Japanese Combined Fleet under the Command of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.
Though Rochefort's unit was based at Pearl Harbor and under the Administration of the 14th Naval District it was actually fell under the operational control Commander Laurence F. Safford, chief of Security Intelligence of Naval Communications in Washington. He and Rochefort were old friends. This was not surprising because the Code Breakers, as the were called, or cryptanalysts which, existed in the nether world between Communications and Intelligence. Gordon Prange wrote in his book Miracle at Midway:
"To excel in this work required a particular type of mentality, combining a well-above-average IQ, verging on the genius in mathematics, with an infinite capacity for painstaking detail. He should have genuine enthusiasm for the work, yet maintain a scholarly detachment. He must be without ambition as the world generally understands the term, for his chances of pinning a star on his shoulder were roughly those of being elected President of the United States. Awards or decorations very rarely came his way…The cryptanalyst never moved out of his specialty, so over the years these unique, dedicated men of similar aims and tastes came to know each other well. Each service developed a compact group of experts working together with mellow, anonymous perfection."
Rochefort had such a team at Station Hypo were such a team. Working at Pearl Harbor they passed their analysis directly to Admiral Nimitz's Fleet Intelligence Officer, Captain Edwin Layton who passed it directly to Nimitz. Rochefort provided a daily situation report to Nimitz and Washington which includes an analysis of all radio traffic from Japanese Fleet Units. Rochefort's team relied on highly experienced enlisted Chiefs and Petty Officer Radiomen to listen in on Japanese signals, and they had in modern terminology had "hacked" the JN25, the Japanese Naval Code Which included over 45,000 grouping of five digit numbers, which their operators could change as needed. Yet without any code breaking machine or computer Rochefort's team was able to read every fourth or fifth grouping in every message, and his radio operators could even recognize individual Japanese radio operators by their rhythm of tapping on the key of their radio teletype pads. Their skilled and accurate forecasting of Japanese intentions gained the complete trust of Nimitz, while Washington remained skeptical. Prange wrote:
"But Nimitz was "a thinking leader, a real intellectual," who comprehended the intelligence mentality. Having come to appreciate the value of the work, he insisted that Rochefort have complete freedom to carry on his essential if off-beat activity. "You are supposed to tell us what the Japanese are going to do," he told Rochefort, "and I will then decide whether it is good or bad and act accordingly."
Rochefort's team provided Nimitz with information that three Japanese task forces, the occupation force, the Kiddo Butai, and the main body of the Japanese Fleet would attack Midway, down to the timing of the attack. To determine if Midway was the actual target a false message was directed to be sent by Midway to indicate that Midway's water distilling plant had failed. When the Japanese notified the high command and fleet that their target was "short of water" it convinced Nimitz and the commanders of Task Force 16, Rear Admiral Raymond Spruance, and Task Force 17, Rear Admiral Frank "Jack" Fletcher that Midway was the target of the Japanese operation and they planned accordingly in their deployment to meet the Japanese.
Hiryu Burning and Sinking
Rochefort's efforts were opposed by the key officers in the Office of Naval Intelligence, who refused to believe that Midway was the target of the Japanese force. In spite of their opposition, Nimitz was highly confident of Rochefort's analysis. When all was said and done the U.S. Navy had defeated the Japanese, sinking four of the six aircraft carriers of the First Carrier Strike Force – Kido Butai that had attacked Pearl Harbor. In a matter of minutes three of the four, the Akagi, Kaga, and Soryu were hit by the dive bombers of the USS Enterprise and USS Yorktown. A few hours later the fourth carrier, Hiryu was blasted by at least six bombs and mortally wounded, but before she was fatally damaged her aircraft had crippled the Yorktown. the next day the heavy cruiser Mikuma was sunk, and her sister ship Mogami so heavily damaged that she was out of action for a year. The loss of the carriers, and so many of their extremely skilled pilots and aircrews ripped the heart out of Japan's premier naval striking force. Combined with their aircrew losses at the Battle of Coral Sea their losses crippled their ability to fight the Americans for the rest of the war.
Historian Walter Lord wrote:
"Against overwhelming odds, with the most meager resources, and often at fearful self-sacrifice, a few determined men reversed the course of the war in the Pacific. Japan would never again take the offensive. Yet the margin was thin—so narrow that almost any man there could say with pride that he personally helped turn the tide at Midway. It was indeed, as General Marshall said in Washington, "the closest squeak and the greatest victory."
One of those men was Joseph Rochefort. Admiral Nimitz credited Rochefort for breaking the codes and setting the stage for the victory, and recommended him for the Distinguished Service Medal, however, Rochefort's rivals in Washington D.C. ensured that the award was turned down in order to claim the success for themselves.
As an act of retribution they effectively removed Rochefort from further participation in the war at what he did the best, cryptanalysis. They had him reassigned to command a floating dry dock in San Francisco by the Department of the Navy as a way to punish him, and effectively end his career. Rochefort retired as a Captain after the war, and his contribution to the victory at Midway remained unrecognized by the Navy. Admiral Nimitz again recommended him for the award of the Distinguished Service Medal in 1958 and again it was turned down, but Rochefort's supporters continued to work to right the injustice.
In 1983 Rear Admiral Donald Showers who had worked for Rochefort in 1942 again recommended the award to Secretary of the Navy John Lehman who approved it. Unfortunately Rochefort was no longer alive to receive it, he had died in 1976.
Today Rochefort's service to the Navy and nation is remembered with the annual Captain Joseph Rochefort Information Warfare (IW) Officer Distinguished Leadership Award which is awarded to annually recognize the superior career achievement of one Information Warfare Officer for leadership, teamwork, operational contributions and adherence to the principle by which he served, "We can accomplish anything provided no one cares who gets the credit."
Today, the high tech Information Warfare professionals have their own community, officer and enlisted, and work seamlessly with Naval Intelligence, Operations, and Communications professionals. Their importance is recognized and relied upon. That is in large part due to Joe Rochefort and his team at Station Hypo.
Have a great day and please don't forget men and women who embody the spirit, intellect, and integrity of Joseph Rochefort, for today, and especially not in the military it is a rare commodity.

I am afraid that in much of the current U.S. Navy there is not the same ideal as Joseph Rochefort. Without men and women who hold the ideal of Joe Rochefort you cannot win wars. This matters even today.

shadowlands World of Warcraft WoW
Blizzard's newest expansion for World of Warcraft, Shadowlands, has been an instant hit. There's one area of the game that has fans going wild though; Torghast, the Tower of the Damned. We're going to help you unlock it.
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands has breathed new life into the iconic franchise. With an epic trailer featuring Banshee Queen Sylvanas Windrunner against Azeroth, it's safe to say that the expansion has been hyped from the beginning.
Pre-sales for Shadowlands were rated as the highest of any other expansion in the title's history and the release has seen fans old and new come together to explore WoW's spooky new realm.
One of the newest and coolest aspects of the expansion though is the new rogue-like dungeon; Torghast, the Tower of the Damned.
Torghast is a rogue-like experience of no other in WoW's history.
Why Torghast Tower is special
Torghast is of particular interest to WoW: Shadowlands players because it is an infinite dungeon that changes every time a player attempts a new run.

As players progress through the dungeon they'll come across stronger enemies, as well as picking up stat boosts and even different abilities, a currency greater than gold in the WoW universe.
Be careful, though! As you level up, your enemies do too, so you best be prepared to enter this tower of terror. Otherwise, you might just be losing the very items you covet.
How to unlock the Torghast Tower dungeon
What's the point of all this cool stuff if you don't know how to unlock it though? Well, here's a detailed list of how to do so. Bear in mind that you must be level 60 and have reached the expansion's end. Not quite at 60 yet? Here's a levelling guide to help you out.

Here are the steps to unlock Torghast:
Choose a Covenant to pledge yourself to.
You will receive a quest that takes you back to The Maw, completing this gives you access to Torghast.
The Tower's entrance is found in the Western Zone of the Ve'nari Refuge area of The Maw.
Take the portal to the Tower.
Torghast is hidden deep within The Maw.
Currently, only the first three layers are available
Note that, at the moment, only the first three layers of the tower are accessible. Each layer has six floors though, so don't be too disappointed!

The remaining layers will roll out in North America on these dates:
November 24 – Layers 1 – 3
December 8 – Layers 4 – 6
December 15 – Layers 7 – 8
Until then, you can still battle your way to glory. Be careful, because Torghast may quickly become a tower of terror.

A look at the top three Trios at the end of the Chipotle Challenger Series event.
What is the Chipotle Challenger Series?
The Chipotle Challenger Series first launched last year at DreamHack in Dallas, TX and is now virtual for 2020 with an online tournament that gives every fan across the U.S. and Canada the opportunity to join the competition and prove their skills in some of the world's most popular games.
A live-broadcasted Finale is held, featuring the top-performing teams from the Qualifiers up against the streamers and celebrities.
These teams have the opportunity to go head-to-head against fan-favorites in esports as well as Chipotle-fan gamers in sports, music, and entertainment.
Some of the big names that took part in the first tournament of the 2020 Chipotle Challenger Series included award-winning DJ Steve Aoki, actors Finn Wolfhard, Jerry Ferrara, Colton Underwood, and Cameron Fuller, esports players Tommey, Rallied, Shane 'ShAnE' McKerral, and Crowder, streamers ItzWarsz, Symfuhny, Di3seL, TSM Diego, and HusKerrs, YouTuber FaZe Swagg, baseball players Joc Pederson, Cody Bellinger, and Joey Gallo, DJ-Gamer CRAY, USA Hockey's Hilary Knight, elite basketball prospects James Wiseman, R.J. Hampton, and Tre Jones, U.S. Soccer's Allie Long, and athlete Demi Bagby.
Chipotle and esports
This is far from Chipotle's first foray into the world of esports. In 2017 the company made headlines as one of OpTic Gaming's main sponsors and the Chipotle logo was on proud display when the organization's Call of Duty roster took home the trophy at the 2017 Call of Duty World League Championship.
The Challenger Series first kicked off at DreamHack Dallas, where players duked it out on PUBG, before moving to Fortnite for the second event at DreamHack Atlanta.
In 2018 Chipotle became a title sponsor of Team SoloMid's competitive Fortnite roster, specifically the TSM Fortnite house in California. This has led to various collaborations, including one of the world's most recognized streamers, Ali 'Myth' Kabbani, creating his own burrito inside a Chipotle store.

How can you tell if your cheese is Irish?
As consumers, many of us care about the origin of our food. Origin is sometimes used as a benchmark for quality and we are often willing to pay more for food based on its origin.
This is why it's become increasingly common in recent years for high-value foods to be fraudulently mislabelled. So how can you tell if your food comes from the location claimed on its label?
A project in Ireland funded by the Irish public health body, Safefood, examined various cheeses which were labelled as coming from Ireland to see if this was accurate. The Teagasc and Queen's University Belfast teams working on the project researched analytical methods which could be used to determine food product origin. In food products like cheese, concentration and relative ratios of key analytes are mainly influenced by animal diet and geographic location and, as food animals reside in certain geographic locations and are mainly fed a grass-based diet, the team reported the potential for developing fingerprint models that can characterise indigenous farmhouse cheeses.
Analytical methods for Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) were established and validated and data was collected and analysed, leading to the development of indicative models for confirming the geographic provenance of artisan cheeses produced in Ireland. So by using IRMS and ICP-MS, you can discover if your cheese is Irish.
ICP-MS-based analytical techniques are used in a number of areas of analysis including food, pharmaceutical, environmental, geochemical, nuclear, and medical fields to monitor test samples for trace elements and their isotopes. Samples are ionized by application of an argon torch and electromagnetic field, followed by mass/charge ratio separation via a mass spectrometer. In order to eliminate major spectral interferences generated by ions derived from the plasma gas, a collision gas such as hydrogen or helium is used.
For those in the market for hydrogen gas for their ICP-MS, Peak Scientific's Precision Hydrogen Series has the answer. The hydrogen generators in this series are each capable of generating hydrogen collision gas for ICP-MS.

6 This is gull I found in Reuss river (very close to Chapel Bridge), Lucerne, Switizerland (sorry, not UK. But, I am pretty sure they are also found in UK) while on a tour. I was new to Europe and unable to ID this gull. Please help.
44 I am not too hot on gulls but this looks very much like a Yellow-legged Gull, Wolverine.
6 Thank you Mickc. From the checklist of birds in Lucerne, Switzerland (from Avibase checklist), I find that Larus cachinnans (Caspian Gull) also matches (from Oriental Birds database). Can you please check and tell if there are any distinguishing features?
44 There is not a lot of difference between the Caspian, Herring & Yellow-legged gulls but there is s very comprehensive article on the berksbird website that may assist you, Wolverine. The pink legs on a Herring Gull make for easy identification there. Photos of the underwing of a Caspian gull appear to have a light grey strip following on from the black tips whereas your photo seems to show an all white underwing. Your photos are very clear and I am sure you will be able to decide what it is. I am out of my depth here I am afraid!
6 Thanks! I will check out the website Mickc.


Every day, thousands of blogs are started. Most of them don't have a particular aim than to just fill in the space. A lot of blogs are competing to get readers, and the ones with good marketing strategies to handle 2013's form of marketing will eat the bigger slice of the cake. People with the budget can easily hire a blogging consultant to market their blogs, but for those that choose to do it on their own you need to learn the best approach to marketing a blog in 2013.
Read this post further to discover unique ways to market your blog and get more traffic in 2013.
Content has always played a very important role in blogging, but content marketing has never been as important as it is in this year. With a lot of small business owners and individuals creating blogs to draw users to their side, creating content on regular basis is the way to go.
Your blog will be able to attract regular daily readers and also keep existing readers engaged if you're posting high quality content on your blog frequently.
Attract inbound links to your site from other reputable sources.
Build credibility for your blog and establish yourself as an authority.
Increase your visibility in search engine and easily rank for high traffic, relevant keywords.
Whether you like it or not, social media is the best approach to online marketing in 2013. A lot of bloggers and entrepreneurs are taking advantage of popular social media channels to turn their websites into mainstream.
Learn the best social media practices and start using content geared towards social media users to increase your blog's popularity online. Marketing a blog in 2013 can be easy if you have mastered the best social media practices.
Social media will allow you to come across to your potential readers as an expert and trusted authority, and anything you share with them will be taken as expert advice.
Perhaps, you've already heard about this practice from several others. But this time around, instead of practicing this method for the pure intent of increasing your search engine rankings, you should write high quality post for other blogs in order to introduce your blog to their readers.
Guest blogging, as it is known, can serve so many purposes for a blog when it comes to marketing. But the best approach to it in 2013 is to do it without the intention of gaining SEO benefits.
With guest blogging, you'll be able to get your brand known and you can also get direct targeted traffic in return for an excellent blog post.
Okay, many people are thinking SEO is dead, but that's not true. SEO, otherwise known as search engine optimization, in 2013 has just taken a new direction. For your blog to be well marketed, you need to take into consideration the essential factors that will determine your blog's SEO performance.
Gaining better search engine rankings takes a lot of hard work and dedication, but you can start by working on your blog's on-page optimization. This is where you start to consider your meta tag, duplicate content, broken links, your robot.txt and all that. Your blog posts should also encourage search crawlers and not raise a red flag.
The aim is just to make sure your blog is in good terms with the search engines.
Marketing your blog can be tricky at times, but I can assure you one thing. Your email-list is going to turn out to be a gold mine for you. If you want to effectively market your blog in 2013, social media, SEO, content marketing or link building won't be sufficient. You will need a bullet-proof option like an email-list.
And the best part is that it's the easiest method. Just sign up with Mailchimp and create an opt-in form for your blog readers to submit their emails. With an email list, you can always tell your subscribers when you have new posts up on your blog.
What other methods do you think you can apply to market your blog in 2013?
Thanks Ayodeji – what is your opinion on search engine submission. Would you add this to your list above or should people just stick with Google, Yahoo and Bing?
Thanks for the addition, Anthony. Sure, search engine submission can also make a great source of traffic to your blog.
I love the social networking place as the best. thanks for sharing.
You're spot on Pst Bless, Social media is the best place to advertise your biz today. Thanks for dropping a comment.

President Obama's plan to force contractors to hire union workers for large government construction projects is proving easier said than done, confusing and costlier than expected.
The General Services Administration (GSA), for example, first called for PLAs to win bids to rehabilitate the Washington office complex, but earlier this month backtracked, saying the solicitation was in error and it would instead ask contractors to submit two bids, one with a PLA and one without - a highly unusual and costly requirement.
"It's crazy to try to do that. … It is just pure confusion on their part," said Brett McMahon, vice president of business development for Miller & Long Co. Inc., the country's largest concrete subcontractor and the largest employer of construction workers in the Mid-Atlantic region.
He estimated that a general contractor would spend more than $100,000 putting together a single bid for a job of that size and submitting dual bids would increase the cost by about $75,000.
GSA officials said the dual bids were part of its effort to comply with Mr. Obama's order to use PLAs and a way for the agency to gauge the cost of using PLAs. The Lafayette Building modernization is one of 10 pilot projects with solicitations for bids under way that require the dual pricing, officials said.
Critics say it drives up costs, delays projects and forces most construction workers - the vast majority of whom are not union members - to pay union dues and pension contributions for which they likely will never receive benefits.
Mr. Obama adopted a series of policy changes to strengthen unions, including encouraging PLAs on major government construction jobs. But the president has failed to deliver a PLA or the unions' top legislative priority the so-called "card-check" bill that would make it easier to organize workplaces in the private sector.
New Hampshire contractors had formally challenged the union mandate as an unfair restriction on competition. Just 8.7 percent of construction workers are unionized in New Hampshire.
About 14 percent of construction workers in the Washington area are union members.


Travel is challenging, especially when you need to pack light. Seasoned travellers also find themselves with an over or under packed suitcase that weighs them down or makes them repeat the same outfits a few times. If you have experienced either of these situations, here are some tips to travelling light and still have everything you need.
Look at your itinerary. If you are on an outdoor adventure trip, do you really need a cocktail dress? Make a checklist, visualise your outfits ahead of time. If you're travelling somewhere for three days and two nights, make sure you have a fresh look for each day and a simple way to transition the same outfit from day to night.
Layering is the simplest way of dressing for any type of weather. Peel off a layer when it's hot or add a cardigan when you're cold. Ball up the clothing to see how small it can become when you pack it. Tank tops, light cotton shirts in any style of neckline, cotton cardigans, collared button-down shirts, leggings or heavy tights to layer under a dress or jeans if the weather is super cold.
Choose your clothes in matching colours so you can mix and match each piece to create multiple styles for different days or different occasions. Neutral tones are always good, and you can mix and match them for new combinations. Pick colours based on where you're going, a combination of black, white, navy and charcoal is good for any urban destination. Beach vacation or outdoors excursion? Khaki, off-white (or white) and bright hues like orange or yellow always work.
Athleisure is fashionable, trendy and extremely comfortable to wear for flights, especially long-haul journeys. They fold neatly and fit into any bag. Ladies, you can consider compression leggings, along with a long-sleeved cotton top and coat while men can try a pair of track pants and a jacket, or a hoodie.
If you have a formal evening or event planned during your trip, women should opt for a slip dress, high-heeled sandals or wedges and a pair of bold earrings, while men should go for a pair of slacks, a flexible, multipurpose blazer, a crisp white shirt, and loafers. Ideally, all of these are things you could use for another evening, a different outfit, or can be packed easily without adding bulk to your carry-on.
Accessories can change the look of an entire outfit, always pack some costume jewellery. These small accessories don't take up tons of space in your bag. A statement cocktail ring and a pair of oversized earrings or a statement necklace that can transform your look from casual to chic. Pack makeup in a sleek pouch that doubles as an evening bag skincare and beauty products are available in travel-sized bottles. These take up much less space than the large bottles and can be disposed of when over, making space for the journey back. People who don't wear jewellery should consider a few pairs of bright socks in fun patterns, just to add a little personality to otherwise simple, coordinating outfits. A scarf wards off chilly winds and adds style to any outfit.
Shoes take up the most space. Most women will require only three pairs of shoes on any trip. Carry a pair of trainers or loafers, flat sandals or comfortable shoes to walk around in, and one pair of block heels or wedges. Men can generally get by with a pair of sneakers and loafers. Opt for a pair of flexible flats or sandals or for brands that make lightweight pairs and take up less space in your bag.

Correggio (Antonio Alegris) [Italian, 1494-1534]
Navigate: Home → Site index → 16th Century → Correggio [Link Partners] [Help] → Help support the e.Gallery!
Correggio (Antonio Allegri) (c. 1489-1534). Italian painter, named after the small town in Emilia where he was born. Little is known of his life, but his paintings suggest under whom he may have formed his style. Echoes of Mantegna's manner in many of his early paintings indicate that he may have studied that master's work in Mantua, and he was influenced in these works also by Lorenzo Costa and Leonardo, adopting Costa's pearly Ferrarese coloring and, in the St John of the St Francis altarpiece (Gemäldegalerie, Dresden, 1514), his first documented work, Leonardo's characteristic gesture of the pointing finger. Later he initiated a style of sentimental elegance and conscious allure with soft sfumato and gestures of captivating charm. Correggio may well have visited Rome early in his career, although Vasari maintains that he never went there and the obvious inspiration of the paintings of Raphael and Michelangelo could be accounted for by drawings and prints which were known all over Italy.
He was probably in Parma, the scene of his greatest activity, by 1518. His first large-scale commission there was for the decoration of the abbess's room in the convent of S. Paolo. The theme of the decorations is Diana, goddess of chastity and the chase, and the vaulted ceiling uses Mantegna's idea of a leafy trellis framing putti and symbols of the hunt. The S. Paolo ceiling was followed by two dome paintings in which Correggio developed the illusionist conception — already used by Mantegna — of depicting a scene as though it were actually taking place in the sky above ( sotto in su ). The first of these domes was commissioned for the church of S. Giovanni Evangelista in 1520. The twelve Apostles sit on clouds round the base, while Christ is shown in sharp foreshortening ascending to heaven. In the commission six years later for an Assumption of the Virgin in the dome of Parma Cathedral he used the same principle, but on a much larger scale and with still more daring foreshortening. These works reveal Correggio as one of the boldest and most inventive artists of the High Renaissance and they were highly influential on the development of Baroque dome painting (one of the most important successors, Lanfranco, was a native of Parma).

The lack of bequests to anywhere else suggests that John Borne was a native of Winslow as well as the vicar. His ownership of so much property would also be explained if he inherited it rather than holding it as vicar. The Survey of 1556 shows that he also held some demesne land which later passed to Walter Palmer. The only occurrence of the surname in the court books is as an alias of John Hykeman, smith, who was active from at least 1430 until he surrendered the forge to John Davy in 1440 (WMCB, p.606). John Borne may be the same person as John Browne who was vicar in 1467.
Two houses at the Church Stile bequeathed by John Borne were still in the possession of the churchwardens in 1556.
taveren: This seems to be the first reference to a tavern in Winslow.
litell house: A cottage between the horse mill and the vicarage is mentioned in the court books of 1448, when it was held by William Perkyn and Margaret his wife, who acquired it in 1432 (WMCB, pp.540, 639). They also acquired a toft containing an acre of land at Cattesende in 1455 (p.679).
Cowcher = coucher: a large breviary that lay permanently on a desk in a church (OED, coucher n.2, 4a).
Crosse: A cross in the market place is mentioned in the court books of 1432 (WMCB p.540).
Brig: In 1521 Walter Palmer the executor left a bequest to "the new bridge called Addington bridge", which could be the same one. It would have crossed the stream which forms the boundary between Winslow and Addington parishes near where it now runs beneath the railway line.
