Peru FA Min reiterates commitment to working closely with SMEs
14:26 | Lima, Nov. 19.
Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Gustavo Meza-Cuadra on Tuesday reiterated his portfolio's commitment to continue working closely with the country's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
In this sense, the cabinet member said that —since he assumed the post on October 3— one of the ministry's main priorities is for the foreign policy to be at the service of citizens, especially of those in need.
In this sense, he noted efforts join small entrepreneurs, business guilds, ministries, and all organizations that are able to engage in the praiseworthy effort for SMEs to have a presence in international markets.
"The need of the small business-owner to go out to international markets is clear and not expected to be an adventure for one or two times, but to be something permanent and consistent with the highest qualities required by the products shipped to international markets," Meza-Cuadra expressed.
Therefore, he stressed that the Foreign Affairs Ministry puts at the service of this group of business people the network of representations and missions abroad, which include more than 60 embassies and at least 70 consulates.
Likewise, the diplomat said that —as part of this effort— the Government actively participated in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) meetings that took place in Chile earlier this year. They served to address the development and internationalization of SMEs.
Remarks were made during the Expo Empresas 2019 event aimed at promoting business coordination among SMEs.
The program was organized by Peru's privately-run National Confederation of Private Business Institutions (Confiep).

February 14, 2022 | Vol. MMXXII, Issue 3
On Monday, February 7, 2022, the House Appropriations Committee Chair Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) introduced the short-term Further Additional Extending Government Funding Act, which continues federal government funding through March 11, 2022 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 appropriations. The House and Senate have voted to approve the short-term continuing resolution (CR). CR's continue annual program funding at the same levels as the prior FY and is separate from the emergency funding.
Funding for AUCD programs and most programs that impact people with disabilities is included in the Labor, Health, Human Services and Related Agencies (LHHS) bill. The House passed the LHHS bill on July 29, 2021 (H.R. 4502). The Senate LHHS bill (S. 3062) is still in draft form. On February 9th, Leadership in the House of Representatives and Senate announced they had reached a bi-partisan bi-cameral deal on how to finish the process for FY 2022.
AUCD has signed onto the following letters asking Congress to finish the appropriations bills for FY 2022 and to not pass a full year CR.
Read the Coalition on Human Needs letter that AUCD signed onto that asks to enact omnibus FY 2022 appropriations legislation.
Read the Friends NCBDDD letter that AUCD signed onto that requests funding for FY 2022 appropriations for NCBDDD programs.
Read the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) Education Taskforce letter that AUCD signed onto that urges the FY 2022 appropriations funding to be finalized for education programs.
Congress is working to fund programs that impact people with disabilities.
Appropriations is the act of setting aside money for a specific program. These programs are critical to ensuring people with disabilities receive a quality education, can be employed and receive services and supports in the community. It is important that programs with and for people with disabilities receive increased funding including AUCD's centers and programs.
Call and educate your Members of Congress about the importance of increased funding in FY 22 for programs for persons with disabilities. You can reach your Members of Congress by calling the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121.
Funding Early Childhood is the Right IDE A Act (H.R. 6532) (S.3544)
On Tuesday, February 1, 2022, Representatives Mark DeSaulnier (D-CA), Rodney Davis (R-IL), and Jared Huffman (D-CA), and U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) introduced the Funding Early Childhood is the Right IDEA Act (H.R. 6532) (S.3544).
The bipartisan bill would provide increased funding for Section 619 (Grants to states for preschool programs serving children with disabilities ages three to five) and Part C (Grants to support states in implementing early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Young children with disabilities have the right to high quality education support and services.
The Right IDEA Act would provide more federal funding to support children with disabilities in receiving early intervention services and preschool programs.
Read Congressman DeSaulnier's press release for more background on the introduction of the Funding Early Childhood is the Right IDEA Act.
See other organizations that signed onto support the bill at the bottom of the press release.

Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee Hearing: "Lessons Learned from COVID-19: Highlighting Innovations, Maximizing Inclusive Practices and Overcoming Barriers to Employment for People with Disabilities"
The Senate Health Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee (Senate HELP Committee) held a hearing on Tuesday, February 8th on the "Lessons Learned from COVID-19: Highlighting Innovations, Maximizing Inclusive Practices and Overcoming Barriers to Employment for People with Disabilities.
The hearing examined existing barriers to employment for people with disabilities. The hearing noted that people with disabilities are over-represented in essential jobs, putting people with disabilities in situations where they are more at-risk to be impacted by COVID-19. The hearing also noted that 1 in 4 people have a disability and more and more people are starting to identify as having a disability due to Long COVID. Many people with disabilities lost their jobs throughout the continuing pandemic. The poverty rate for people with disabilities was reported to be 26%.
Witnesses for the hearing included:
Dr. Lisa Schur, Professor, Labor Studies and Employment Relations at Rutgers University Director, Program for Disability Research
Jenny Lay-Flurrie, Chief Accessibility Officer of Microsoft
Francis A. Kineavy, Disability Advocate
Brian Dennis, Workforce Program Coordinator of Disability Services, Iowa Workforce Development
AUCD's, the National Disability Rights Network's (NDRN), and the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) submitted a statement for the record for the hearing.
There are many challenges that make it hard for people with disabilities to find and keep work.
What does this mean for us:
Policies need to be improved to support people with disabilities in being able to find keep jobs for real wages in the community.

Released Discussion Draft of the Prepare for and Respond to Existing Viruses, Emerging New Threats, and Pandemics Act (PREVENT Pandemics Act)
On Tuesday, January 25, 2022, a discussion draft of the Prepare for and Respond to Existing Viruses, Emerging New Threats, and Pandemics Act (PREVENT Pandemics Act) has been released by Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee Chair, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), and Ranking Member, Senator Richard Burr (R-NC).
The PREVENT Pandemics Act works to create a stronger public health preparedness and response system. Some key components include improving the strategy and coordination among our public health preparedness agencies; strengthening supply chain and government stockpiles of medical products, such as masks, drugs, vaccines, and tests; responding to disparities that make public health emergencies harder on at-risk populations and communities; and improving public health communication and addressing misinformation. AUCD submitted comments to the discussion draft of the PREVENT Pandemics Act.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenging and difficult time. We need new policies that make sure the U.S. is prepared for all future public health emergencies.
What this means for us:
There is work being done to improve our public health emergency preparedness system. The PREVENT Pandemics Act applies lessons learned during the pandemic and looks to address the need for better policies to keep people safe and healthy.

Few days back we started a new online project – "Cortex Cerebri – New Free Knowledge Center, Human Knowledge Sharing Web".
As the name says, it is a kind of knowledge base with articles, words, terms, phrases, images,… and other information that are hard to find anywhere at Internet.
We hope the Internet users will find this project useful.
Check out – CortexCerebri.net .


In honor of Veterans Day, the Arlington Historical Society is having a talk about Arlington's fallen sons of World War I tomorrow night at Marymount University. To get you ready, we sat down with the speaker, Annette Benbow, and she told us about one of the men, Lt. John Lyon. Watch the video above and then click through for more information.


At the time of writing most local authorities were agreeing the details of their budgets for the next year. We all know that the result will be cuts in expenditure in all local authority areas, the impact will most likely be felt in education as it is in other parts of Councils – even where Councils have managed to offer some protection to this core service.
The AHDS advice in this is much the same as our advice in relation to inspections. Make your voice heard!
It may well be that it is too late to have much influence on some of the proposed cuts for the coming financial year but what is virtually certain is that there will be further, potentially deeper, cuts to come in the couple of years which will follow. So, it is important that we make the voice of school leaders heard in the discussion about where and how the axe will fall. We need to continue to do this at the national level but also in each and every local authority.
Arrange a local group meeting to discuss the cuts, their impact, possible alternatives or alternative ways of implementing the cuts which will cause less harm to the service. The cuts are here, they are real, so the discussion must be solution focussed. If there is not an active local group in your area, start one. Area Officers, the General Secretary and members from existing active groups will be more than happy to help – get in touch with us to talk about next steps.
Seek a meeting with your Director to discuss your suggestions about how cuts can best be implemented – raising any key concerns but presenting constructive alternatives. Even if it doesn't seem like it at times, your Director is as keen as you to make the education service as good as it possibly can be with the budget available to it.
Involve Councillors – These budget cuts are of such a magnitude that Councillors up and down the country are taking a very close interest in them. There are considerable sensitivities about you as school leaders seeking to influence Councillors but it is perfectly legitimate for AHDS to do this so contact your Area Officer or the General Secretary for advice and assistance.
Start the process again – Consider the scale of the cuts likely to face Education in the coming years and develop your thoughts about how these might be achieved then engage with your Director and engage with Councillors through AHDS.
Keep AHDS up to date. Even if you are not involving your area officer or the General Secretary in discussions or efforts to influence spending decisions/implementation of cuts, please do keep us up to date with actions taken in your area. Please e-mail the General Secretary (greg@ahds.org.uk) with updates. This will help us understand the picture around the country.

Up coming IRRC force Nadieh Schoots is eyeing up a maiden TT Races campaign in 2019, as part of planned future roads endeavours which also include returning to the Ulster Grand Prix.
The 2017 International Road Racing Championship which marked her first full season of roads competition, yielded highly creditable results in abundance.
14th in the final championship standings, some of the main highlights for the enthusiastic Dutch racer included series of top 12 finishes at Frohburg, plus scoring strong results at Schleizer Dreieck and Horice.
Set to sample again the IRRC in 2018, Nadieh is targeting next year an overall top ten finish in the rapidly growing in popularity series.
An ambitious racer, she has the potential over the next few years to begin to push many of the championship stalwarts for top draw results.
Realistic in how long it will take till she can battle alongside the likes of Johan Fredriks, Sebastien Le Grelle and Marek Cerveny, Nadieh and her own teams progress next season, will be monitored closely by many as she continues to build up her pure roads experience.

You can certainly do this with Excel Automation, but I suggest not to use it. For details see Excel Interop issues.
Try to find some 3rd party library that reads and writes Excel files without use of Excel Automation.
I use GemBox.Spreadsheet for some time now, and it is great. It is very fast and easy to use.
Here is an example how to export DataGrid to Excel with GemBox.Spreadsheet library.

Many "people" have tried to make a unicorn simply by taping a spiraled horn onto the head of a white horse. In the end these "people" always end up with the same result; a stupid looking horse, not even a good imposter. They don't understand that a unicorn can't be made it has to be found. A unicorn is purely mythical and represents innocence and imagination. The same analogy goes for snowboard contests. They aren't all created equal. Some are merely just a horse with a horn taped on its head. They lack heart and soul and imagination and represent all the things that snowboarding doesn't need right now. These contests stand for nothing more than corporate America and its insatiable urge to wrap up a plain old horse and sell it as a unicorn. They weren't dreamt up by riders on the hill but rather born in a boardroom by people in suits. These contests are around merely as a marketing channel to the masses. They are so X-treme! Every once in a blue moon a "unicorn" emerges out of the pack showing it has true body and soul and stands for something. These contests, however, are few and far between.
Last weekend I ventured to Eastern Oregon in search of one of these unicorn contests known as the Dirksen Derby. I have heard about the Dirksen Derby for years and always wanted to make the trek to Mt. Bachelor to check it out. I have also, however, always seemed to be lacking in the motivation department. It has always been a lot easier to just stick around Washington and ride early season pow in my backyard than to drive 400mi to go ride in a contest. This winter (or lack thereof) in Washington has been a little different than most and was just what I needed to find the motivation I to head south to Bachelor to check it out.
The Dirksen Derby was started by Josh Dirksen 8 years ago for all the right reasons. He set it up the Dirksen Derby as a fundraiser to help generate money to help out his pal Tyler Ecklund while at the same time creating awareness about spinal cord injuries in sports. With each passing year its following has grown allowing Josh to be able to help out Tyler a little more. In its 8 years of existence it has raised over $100,000. It really does stand for something. The contest itself isn't about who is the best gymnast. Its all about the heart and soul of snowboarding; having fun and going fast. Fun and fast it was. From the time I rolled into town at 2AM on Friday morning till the time I left Sunday afternoon I never once didn't have a smile on my face. The same went for all the people competing and in attendance. We all literally spent 3 days perma-grinned, shredding Mt. Bachelor and enjoying great times with friends both old and new. It was one of the most positive and fun environments I have ever experienced. I advise you should probably attend in 2015, I know I will. Here are a few photos from the contest and some results here.

Camp David at 40: An Inside Look
Tess Santorelli
"Carter looked at us and said, 'This issue is not nearly as complicated as you think. We are going to bring these two leaders together, and we are going to realize the historic importance of this moment and they will rise to the occasion and show the best side of both."
With these words, William Quandt, professor emeritus at the University of Virginia and former staff at the U.S. National Security Council, reflected back on his experience from inside Camp David and the events that took place that led to the agreement between Egypt and Israel. Quandt was joined by Nabil Elaraby, former Egyptian minister of foreign affairs and former secretary-general of the League of Arab States, at a conference hosted by AUC Forum last week titled Camp David at 40 to discuss the historic Camp David Accords 40 years on, with a personal message from former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
The first session of the panel, chaired by Nabil Fahmy, dean of the School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at AUC and former Egyptian minister of foreign affairs, was a discussion of what happened on the inside of Camp David. Forty years ago, despite criticism from the Arab world, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin agreed to meet Carter at Camp David. Both Elaraby and Quandt, who were present at the summit, noted that in addition to resolving the conflict between their countries, the two leaders were cognizant that relations with the United States were also at stake.
Speaking to the crowded Oriental Hall, Quandt described the difficulties Carter experienced in negotiations with Sadat and Begin. Quandt recalled how Carter had told him he anticipated a resolution within two to three days.
Quandt said at moments, it looked like the summit would fall apart. Rather than attempting to combine Sadat's and Begin's proposals, Carter's counsel concluded that the only way to reach an agreement was if the United States put forth a proposal of its own. Thirteen days and 23 drafts later, the Camp David Accords were signed.
Though they reached an agreement, Quandt admitted the treaty had flaws, including general vagueness in order to keep both Sadat and Begin satisfied. "Provisions of Camp David, in my opinion, could have been improved in certain matters," remarked Elaraby, "But [the treaty] produced peace."
Carter's reflection on the accords, read to the audience by Bahgat Korany, director of AUC Forum, captured Elaraby's feeling of dissatisfaction.
Titled "Keeping Faith," Carter's message made it clear the accords were not perfect:
"Looking back on the four years of my presidency, I realize I spent more of my time working for possible solutions toward Middle East peace than on any other international problem. These four years were dominated by this, and the key of this four years was served."


Some children and young people require special educational provision because they have a disability which prevents or hinders them from making use of the educational facilities generally provided. These difficulties can be age related and may fluctuate over time. Many children and young people with vision impairment (VI), hearing impairment (HI) or a multi-sensory impairment (MSI) will require specialist support and/or equipment to access their learning, or habilitation support. Children and young people with an MSI have a combination of vision and hearing difficulties. Information on how to provide services for deafblind children and young people is available through the Social Care for Deafblind Children and Adults guidance published by the Department of Health (see the References section under Chapter 6 for a link).
As part of Norfolk County Council, the Virtual School – Sensory Support aims to champion the education of children and young people with a sensory loss, through delivery of comprehensive and flexible support to them and their families to help them develop high aspirations and reach their full potential.
Providing direct support to babies and young children and their parents in the home to support early development and learning through play and promote parental confidence. This may include the use of the SI specific Early Support resources. The specialist teacher is frequently the professional best placed to take on a key working role.

Shanai Matteson
Art | Ecology | Care | Community
Shanai Haana Matteson (b. 1982) is an artist, writer, mother, and cultural organizer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She creates collaborative public art projects, social spaces, and other artistic work rooted in place and social ecology. Through her creative and community life, Shanai seeks to transform her own relationships, while growing communities and cultures of reciprocity and care.
Originally from the small town of Palisade in northern Aitkin County, Shanai still spends much of her time in Northeastern Minnesota with her family and community. Though she's rooted in her northeast Minneapolis neighborhood, she'll always call the Mississippi River headwaters, and Minnesota's north country, her true home.
Shanai is the mother of two young children, who encourage her to integrate the loving work of raising a family with active participation in community life, as well as collective struggles for social, racial, and environmental justice.
Shanai is co-founder and collaborative director of Water Bar & Public Studio, an artist-led benefit corporation that serves water to build relationships that transform culture. Prior to founding Water Bar in 2014, she and her collaborator Colin Kloecker led the nationally-recognized public art and design collective Works Progress. As Works Progress, Shanai and her partners were founding members of the national network Common Field, and organized the Hand-in-Glove Conference (now Common Field Convening) in Minneapolis in 2015.
Shanai was also one of the designers and curators of the City Art Collaboratory program of Public Art Saint Paul, a groundbreaking fellowship and think tank for artists and scientists immersed in systems thinking and paradigm work. As a cultural organizer, Shanai continues to develop platforms for artists to research in collaboration with others, especially those working in the sciences and water resource fields. She is currently co-convener of the University of Minnesota-sponsored collaborative Ways of Knowing Water, and speaks frequently at conferences and public events about how art-science collaborations can advance water equity and climate resilience.
In addition to her work serving water and community through her own cultural and community projects, Shanai is active in other efforts to heal relationships with land, water, and place as a core partner in the indigenous-led Healing Place Collaborative. This group of artists, educators, researchers and activists play leadership roles in articulating the vital nature of the Mississippi River and indigenous leadership in the life of the Twin Cities - a Dakota place.
Shanai and her artistic collaborators have been featured in museum exhibitions, art spaces, and publications across the United States, but whenever possible, she prefers to work in public spaces close to home. She's most interested in emergent and strategic arts activism at the margins of established fields or practices, and believes these edges and intersections provide the most fertile ground for artists and others to learn and create together.
Shanai studied creative writing at the Perpich Center for Arts Education (2000), attended the University of Minnesota for Cultural Studies and History of Science (2005) and is an alum of the Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs or HECUA Art for Social Change program.
Shanai was a Fellow in the Creative Community Leadership Institute at Intermedia Arts, received a 2013 Bush Fellowship for her arts and environmental leadership work, was the recipient of a 2014 River Stewards Emerging Leader Award from the Saint Paul Riverfront Corporation, and a 2018 Public Health Heroes Award from the City of Minneapolis. She is a 2018 McKnight Visual Arts Fellow.
As an artist, Shanai and her collaborators have been awarded grants and fellowships from Forecast Public Art, Metropolitan Regional Art Council, National Endowment for the Arts, and Minnesota State Arts Board.
In addition to her ongoing work as an artist, small business owner, activist, and collaborative director of a locally-focused art and ecology space, Shanai serves on the community advisor board (or fictive kinship) of Yo Mama's House Cooperative, a regenerative space and network for women in their roles as mothers, artists, activists and healers, led by artist Amoke Kubat.
Shanai is also part of the Advisory Group for the US Water Alliance's new national project Advancing One Water Through Arts and Culture. She was the organizer of the 2018 Minnesota Artist Delegation to the One Water Summit, and remains committed to connecting artists and others involved in water work.
Amid all of this arts and community work, she is trying to spend more of her time with family, outdoors, or visiting one-on-one with other people, and much less of it staring at computer screens. You can connect with her here and here, or reach out to her at shanai [at] worksprogress.org - or visit her on Fridays at Water Bar & Public Studio.


Download Book The Longest Mile A Doctor A Food Fight And The Footrace That Rallied A Community Against Cancer in PDF format. You can Read Online The Longest Mile A Doctor A Food Fight And The Footrace That Rallied A Community Against Cancer here in PDF, EPUB, Mobi or Docx formats.
Winner of the Gold Medal in the 2016 Living Now Book Awards In the course of their lifetime, one out of two men and one out of three women will be diagnosed with cancer. Many of us watch in desperation as our friends and loved ones fight for their lives. But after seeing several of her patients and her dearest aunt engage in a battle with cancer, Dr. Christine Meyer decided to embark on a quest for hope—and through happenstance and love, a team of runners emerged that empowered a community to make a difference, not only in the lives of cancer patients, but in one another's lives. Along the way, Meyer learned that the true measure of a doctor's success is not the number of lives saved but the number of lives touched.
When Renee Hodges invited her nephew, Bobby, to come stay with her for a few weeks so he could visit a doctor about his back pain, she knew he was recovering from an addiction to prescription painkillers. She believed that if he could address his back problems, he would have a better chance of staying clean—but she had no idea what a roller coaster ride she was getting on. Unlike other books about addiction, Saving Bobby begins after rehab is over. Told in part through journal entries, e-mails, and personal recollections, this raw, honest, deeply moving memoir—begun to keep the family accountable—describes the sixteen months that Hodges, her husband, and their community struggled alongside Bobby as he attempted to successfully re-enter the day-to-day world. Using a holistic and open approach, the shame and stigma associated with addiction was lessened—and ultimately, Bobby learned he had to save himself. A gripping and heartrending story of survival, Saving Bobby is an essential, timely read for those concerned about America's most pressing epidemic.
From the last days of the Vietnam War to the present-day war on terrorism, this story is a moving and poignant tribute to love, marriage, family, and the men and women who serve this nation. In describing her thirty-three-year journey as an Army wife, Cody gives an in-depth look at what it takes to keep a marriage strong, raise a family—oftentimes as a single parent—create a home, and face separations and loneliness amid the uncertainty and stresses that are so much a part of Army life. Over the years, Cody learns to embrace the uniqueness of her circumstances, and she finds joy, self-fulfillment, and pride in her role. But when both her sons follow in their dad's footsteps, becoming Army Aviators and flying Apache helicopters in combat zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, Cody faces her greatest challenges as a mother and again, must balance the needs of her family with her husband's position. Full of humor and honesty, Army Wife brings the reader into Cody's private life in a very personal way, and in doing so opens the lens for a broader view of world events.

Briggan Krauss
Friday, March 23, 20078:30 pm
"Lensing" is a suite of compositions written for eight musicians. Although incorporating some group improvisation, "Lensing" focuses primarily on composition which draws on influences ranging from Varese to Morricone and Japanese Gagaku. "Lensing" was commissioned by Roulette in 2001 with funds From The Jerome Foundation and was premiered at Roulette on April 18th, 2002.
Musicians performing will be:
Ron Caswell – Tuba
Jacob Garchick – Trombone
Michel Gentile – Flute
Ron Horton – Trumpet
Briggan Krauss – Alto Saxophone
Andy Laster – Baritone Saxophone
Chris Speed – Clarinet
Kenny Wollesen – Percussion
Jim Pugliese – Conductor
Saxophonist, electronic musician and composer Briggan Krauss began attended Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in music performance in 1992. In 1994 Briggan moved to Brooklyn, New York where he still lives today.
Briggan has performed and recorded with musicians such as John Zorn, Wayne Horvitz, Bill Frisell, Eyvind Kang, Robin Holcomb, Anthony Coleman, Steven Bernstein's "Sex Mob", Madeski Martin and Wood, Skuli Sverrisson, Jim Black, Hal Willner, Joey Baron, the New York Composer's Orchestra and many others.
Briggan has made three records as a leader on Knitting Factory Records and has appeared on over forty other records as a sideman. He has been reviewed and interviewed in jazz and new music publications in the United States, Europe and Japan. In the 2002 "Downbeat Magazine" critic's poll, "Sex Mob" was awarded "Best Beyond Band" and "Best Acoustic Jazz Band TWR". Briggan was also named in the "Alto Saxophone TWR" category in both 2002 and 2003. The CD "Unspeakable" by guitarist Bill Frisell, on which Briggan appeared, won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album in 2004. The most recent album by Sex Mob called "Sexotica" has been nominated for a Grammy Award for 2007 in the same category.
"Good Kitty", the first band in which Briggan was the leader, featured an unusual trio of himself on alto saxophone, clarinet/tenor saxophonist Chris Speed, and drummer Mike Sarin. Briggan recorded his first CD as a leader for Knitting Factory Records with "Good Kitty" in 1995.
Briggan's next recording project "300" featured another trio which reunited Briggan with "Pig Pen" leader Wayne Horvitz on keyboards, and added fellow "Sex Mob" member Kenny Wollesen on drums. Recording for the Knitting Factory record label in 1997, "300" garnered notable critical acclaim for their self-titled debut recording culminating in making the "Jazziz Magazine Critic's Top-Ten recordings of 1998" list twice.
While at Cornish College of the Arts, Briggan studied electronic music and advanced theory with composer/professor Jarrad Powell. In 1999 "Descending to End", a solo studio project, was made over the course of nine months and received excellent reviews by the music press.
As a composer, Briggan was commissioned by Roulette New York with funds provided by the Jerome Foundation to present a program of new music. A mostly through composed chamber piece in eight parts, for eight musicians and conductor titled "Lensing", was premiered at Roulette in April 2002.
Briggan continues to work with electronic music. He has released the CDs "Object #1" and "Object#2" which are part of a series of releases each dedicated and inspired by the work of a particular visual artist. He has also begun working with live electronics in several duo and trio settings with the likes of Wayne Horvitz, Jim Black, Skuli Sverrisson and others. He is also involved with a variety of collaborations with the visual artist Raha Raissnia which fall under the title "Systems" which has appeared in New York City galleries and at Anthology Film Archives. His electronic music was recently featured on WPS1 Art Radio.

NOW READ WHAT THE LATEST EVIDENCE SAYS ABOUT THESE VILE CARRION HALAALIZERS AND THE OWNERS OF THE TORTUROUS KILLING FACILITIES. THE DAILY NEWS, 12 MARCH 2014, REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:
By Mphathi Nxumalo
Independent Newspapers
Inspectors from the NSPCA Farm Animal Protection Unit found starving and maimed birds being sold to the public on Nulaid's premises.
Durban - Employees of one of the biggest commercial egg producers have been caught selling starving, maimed and sick chickens to the public at steeply discounted prices.
Some were in such poor condition that their wings had become infected with gangrene, according to the national council of the SPCA (NSPCA), which said on Tuesday it would press charges against Nulaid.
The company is owned by food giant Pioneer Foods, which admitted on Tuesday that a "mistake" had been made and that standards had been breached. It said some of the employees involved had been fired. The NSPCA said about 1 558 chickens were slaughtered under its supervision on February 26, after it obtained a court order authorising the humane killing.
Grace de Lange, the NSPCA's spokeswoman, said they planned to charge Nulaid under the Animal Protection Act for maiming the chickens and causing unnecessary suffering.
She said inspectors had been horrified to find them in a terrible condition during a routine inspection on a Nulaid distribution outlet in Phokeng, North West last month.
From the company's own records, the NSPCA discovered that in less than a month, 1 737 chickens had either been dead on arrival at the outlet, or had had to be "emergency-slaughtered" because of their severe injuries. It was also discovered that Nulaid employees had been selling injured and sick chickens to the public at the steeply discounted price of R21 each. The chickens are known as end-of-lay hens as they had reached the end of their economically productive life as egg layers.
De Lange said last month's incident had not been the first, as the council had been sending warnings to Nulaid since 2011 to change their practices.
Hennie Lourens, the general manager of Quantum Foods, the Pioneer division that includes Nulaid, said the company was taking steps to remedy matters.
"We did make a mistake; there was a breach of our standards. We've taken decisive action against the individuals involved. Some individuals who were responsible were fired and some received warnings," he said. "We're engaging the NSPCA and are continuing discussions on how to move forward on a constructive basis." While applauding the NSCPA's decision to charge Nulaid, Louise van der Merwe, representing Compassion in World Farming, a non-governmental organisation aiming to put an end to cruel factory farming, said it would be better to press charges against Pioneer Foods.
The charges, she said, would be for "the suffering of all the millions of Nulaid hens who spend their lives in impossibly tight spaces in battery cages".
Van der Merwe said she had laid a criminal complaint against Nulaid's predecessor, Lemoenkloof Plase, in 1991 for allegedly violating the act by, among other things, "maiming" hens (through de-beaking) and by causing them unnecessary suffering at cull outlets.
However, after 18 months of deliberation the State had refused to prosecute on grounds that there was no reasonable chance of success.
Van der Merwe also claimed the court file had "mysteriously disappeared".
Pioneer's spokesman, Lulu Khumalo, said this was not the first time that complaints had been made against Nulaid.
"Accordingly, Nulaid is taking this very seriously … and will certainly be working very hard to ensure there is no repeat of this."
She said the veterinarian responsible for Nulaid's local operations would ensure that the company's culling operations were "welfare-compliant in terms of the Sapa (South African Poultry Association) code of practice".
Asked to comment on the possible health risks of eating sick chickens, Dr Ivor Funnel, a gastroenterologist at St Augustine's Hospital, said the symptoms would include diarrhoea and vomiting.
(End of Report).
OUR COMMENTS
(1) The company's averment that it had "made a mistake", is the flabbiest of excuses. It is utterly baseless. The absolutely unacceptable and brutal reality are standard practices in these miserable chicken-killing facilities which the Carrion Cartel halaalizes. That this vile practice is standard at the plants is substantiated by the NSPCA's representative, said: "De Lange said last month's incident had not been the first, as the council had been sending warnings to Nulaid since 2011 to change their practices."
(2) The arrival at the killing facilities of thousands of dead and near-dead chickens is a norm at these miserable plants. Dead and near-to-dead chickens all get halaalized. Muslims must ponder what exactly they are devouring when they consume these rotten, diseased and haraam chickens.
(3) The revelations in this report will undoubtedly revulse Muslims. The deluge of evidence condemning and damning the Carrion Cartel is more than adequate to convince Muslims of the imperative need to abstain from devouring the filth and disease which SANHA & Co. halaalizes. Scandal upon scandal in the carrion chicken industry is being exposed with increasing frequency.
There is no need to wonder why there are so many inexplicable grave diseases in the community. What other than disease is to be expected from the consumption of rotten, diseased and gangrene-infested chickens?
In addition to the disease of these chickens including their eggs, is the irrefutable fact of the haraam slaughtering process yielding nothing but Haraam carrion chickens which are deceptively passed off as 'halaal'.
IT IS WAAJIB (COMPULSORY) FOR MUSLIMS TO ABSTAIN FROM CONSUMING ALL CHICKENS KILLED BY ALL THE NON-MUSLIM KILLING FACILITIES. ALL OF THESE HALAALIZED CHICKENS ARE HARAAM WITHOUT ANY SHADOW OF DOUBT.
RAINBOW, EARLY BIRD, COUNTY FAIR AND EVERY OTHER BRAND OF COMMERCIALLY KILLED CHICKENS ARE HARAAM.

Make your own macro lens out of a magnifier instead of paying hundreds of dollars/euros for a real one. And play around with the very short depth of focus.
You need a piece of (preferable black) paper, scissors, duct tape and a magnifier.
Roll up the paper and make a tube (about 2 inches/5 centimeter long) out of it that fits on top of your normal lens. Make sure the other end is big enough for the magnifier. Stick it together with the duct tape and put the magnifier on top. Stick the whole thing on top of your normal lens with the duct tape. Make sure you're still able to adjust the focus of your normal lens, so tape it carefully.
Take macro photos with this easily made & cheap lens!
so cool!!! I love taking nature pix, but no budget for new lens. i think we have the same camera, too, so this is perfect.
Thanks! I had a Canon EOS 1000D when I used this camera, I've got a 550D now. But you should try this out, it's really easy!

A Shasta Lake man pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a murder charge in connection to the slaying of his 83-year-old father.
Stephen Matthew Giordano, 53, saw his arraignment continued to Friday while his appointed defense attorney, Cedar Vaughan, checked whether she has any legal conflicts representing him.
Shasta County Superior Court Judge Dan Flynn scheduled further continuance of the arraignment for Friday and set bail at $1 million.
Several family members of the slain victim, Salvadore Giordano, and the younger Giordano, quietly sobbed in the courtroom. Following the brief arraignment hearing, members were too grief-stricken to talk.
Shasta County sheriff's deputies say Stephen Giordano killed his elderly father last Friday while he was staying at his parents' home.
According to the Sheriff's Office report, Giordano confessed to the crime during questioning by detectives.
Deputies were called at 10:04 p.m. to Carole and Salvadore Giordano's home in the 2000 block of Cabello Street after she reported finding him dead.
The elder Giordano's head and upper body were covered in blood.
Carole Giordano told investigators her son, Stephen, had been living at home the past four months. For unknown reasons, he became violent toward his father two days before the alleged attack, and the couple barricaded themselves in their bedroom.
The next morning, the couple asked their son to leave. He left, she said.
But about 8:30 p.m. last Friday, he returned unannounced. She said he was apologetic and asked her whether he could stay the night, the report said.
The report said she thought her son's apology seemed sincere, so she let him stay. She told investigators she had to run an errand and left the house for about an hour.
Father and son were praying in the spare bedroom, where Salvadore Giordano's body was later found, when she left the residence, the report said.
When she returned, she found Salvadore dead and Stephen no longer at home.
Nearly three hours later, at 11:45 p.m., deputies received a tip that Stephen Giordano and his truck were at a home in the 1900 block of Shasta Street.
Detectives received permission from the owner to enter the home and arrested Stephen Giordano. The report said they observed injuries to his hands and what appeared to be blood at the bottom of his pants.
During questioning by detectives, Stephen Giordano said he had gone to his parents' house and had apologized for his actions last Wednesday.
He went into his bedroom and was lying on his bed when his father came into the room and told him they needed to talk, according to the report.
Stephen Giordano told detectives he felt like he was going to be in trouble and it made him sick to his stomach. He then went into the attached bathroom to avoid talking with his father, the report said.
When he got out of the bathroom, he lay back on his bed, detectives said Stephen Giordano told them. Then his father returned to the room.
According to the report, Stephen Giordano knew there was going to be a confrontation, though his reasons appear to be unclear or are not known. So he stood up as his father walked into the room.
Stephen Giordano said his father pointed in his face and then Stephen punched his father in the head and face.
After that, he told detectives, he blacked out and did not know what he did. The next thing he remembered was seeing his father lying on his back, "smashed," and dead, the report said.
He became scared, left the house and went to his friend's house. There, he washed blood off his hands and boots, according to the report.
Shortly after, detectives, who entered the home, placed him under arrest.

As I sit in the waiting room for my doctor's appointment, I am taking in the scenery.
This is my first time in this particular office so naturally there is a lot of new views to take in.
One of my favorite pastimes is visiting the art museums in the area. To take in new and innovative artwork from such great artist is the best.
I have to say that my favorite of these on the wall is the Lion. I mean, I am a Leo, of course. Such a beautiful, colorful, and vibrant portrayal of the king of the jungle.
This is a night of collective artistry supporting emerging and underground female talent. I haven't had the chance to submit my designs for the show (hopefully I will be able to soon), but I have heard great things about them.


How You Can Optimize the Web Accessibility of a Website?
In the current scenario, many enterprises have ignored the power of accessibility because most of the times they have been observed giving more focus on creating the most unique web designs. Due to this very own reason, the motto to serve the purpose of accessibility has also been ignored many times and the users in the later stages find themselves in the state of lurch where they are unable to access the information.
Majority of the developers are under the wrong impression about the accessibility and they think that eliminating the visual appeal will help to improve the over all functioning of the website. These types of misconceptions often lead to the downfall of the website. But with the changing times, these decade old perceptions have also been changing and as the result of this change, today majority of the online visitors are accessing the website by many ways. According to various web analysts, creating the accessible web designs can be instrumental in boosting the viral reach of the website. All together, it can play a constructive role in amplifying the viewership of the website as well.
If you feel that improving the accessibility of the website is a serious matter then it is significant for you to take a few measures to optimize the same. So here given below are some of the solutions, implementing which you can improve the accessibility.
If you want to make your website expressive then it is vital for you to develop rich content for the graphics and write only those words which can easily understood by the online users.
By giving a logical name to the link, you can easily navigate the users to desired search results. If you will give a reasonable title to the links, the users are most likely to understand what type of content are they going to get in return to their clicks. For an instance if you have clicked on the about us page then on the address bar a linked name "about us" will appear on your screen and then you will be directly steered towards the main site.
You as the developer should utilize the font sizes in the form of percentages rather than using it in pixels or points. This initiative will permit the users to re-size the fonts from smaller to a larger size respectively.
The developers can avoid using unnecessary colors or bright hue tones which most certainly can avert the interests of the users. Suppose you are marking some buttons or required fields with a different name but if it is not well perceived by the online visitors then indicating them with easier words can be a suitable option.
If you want to avoid yourself from visiting the same page again then using the skip links can be the apt option. These missing links can play a key role in steering you directly to the desired pages.
The developers instead of naming the menu buttons like China' can also name it as "Select Country Name". Instead of naming it like Male or Female, you can also make it Gender. The name of the default items should be so expressive that a common online visitor can easily understand the main crux of that given link.
The forms should be created in logical and reasonable manner. The questions and answers should be inserted in the same line of the input field. The labels should be put on the same side of the input field.
By using the proper headlines that too in a disciplined sequence will help the visitors to reach their destination directly. You can also hyperlink these headlines in a group and by clicking it on any of the links, you will be steered to the requisite topics. Similarly, during the PSD to HTML conversions, you are required to follow these rules and would have to place all the H tags in a sequence.
If you want to own a full control over the layout then using the cascading style sheet can be a better option. With CSS, you can change the horizontal or say linear design of the page without changing its visual layout.
If you want that the online visitors should visit your page repeatedly then utilizing the reasonable page titles can be the option simply worth it. If you will put same name for every web page, the reader may get conufused and he may leave the page forever. So it is always recommended that you should keep some logical names for the page titles.
The colors in the website should be used in such a way that a user can easily understand the clear meaning of contents published in it.
When you are using the short forms or appreviations in your webpages then using the comprehensively defined tag elements can be the apt option. For an example if you are using the word HTML, then the user visiting the site may get confused and he may shift on to some another link in the website.
You should use only those words which can easily be searched by the search engines. For an example it is better to the word "Select Your City" instead of New York. The language used by you should be precise and accurate.
You should avoid using the word Captcha because there are many users are actually not well versed with the technical terms. So it is always recommended that you should try to make the forms as simple as possible.
The order submition form in your website should be developed in such a way that it can easily be understood by the amateur users as well. Even if theperson is not well versed with technology he will be able to operate it with an ease. The lack of technology should not create any hassle for them.


Get an upscale look with designer dark bronze electrical outlets and light switches. Choose from sophisticated dark bronze rocker switches, tamper-resistant receptacles, GFCI outlets, and light dimmers that will give your dining room, kitchen, or bath an elegant old-world charm.
As you can see, each finish varies. The dark bronze electrical devices have a red tone that the dark bronze plates & inserts do not. The inserts are spray painted to match the dark bronze plates & devices as closely as possible, but are not an exact match.
Metallic bronze plates are an exact match for these bronze devices and offer a modern look with no visible screws.
Keep in mind you are limited with configurations with these plastic screwless plates that only have four sizes: rocker openings in single, double, triple and quadruple configurations.
They also cover more wall space than the standard switch plates shown below, so be sure you have enough room around your device to accommodate this midsize plate.
The next best look for satin bronze switches is our Venetian Bronze wall plates. Both have a warm, reddish tone that makes them an excellent choice for kitchens with cherry cabinets, stained butcher block countertops or luxury master bathrooms with warm-toned granite, marble, or other high-end surface materials.
In a vintage room with antique hardware or furnishings, get antique brass plates to cover these elegant bronze switches.
This is a fabulous choice to match antiqued curtain rods, sink faucets, wall sconces or aged brass table lamps.
To really embellish your living space, garnish your walls with decorative light switch covers.
We recommend brown plates with copper designs to match these bronze switches. Aren't they stunning?
For painted almond kitchen cabinets with a brown glaze, blend in your cover plates by choosing the light almond finish. Then, tie in a deep chocolate or hazelnut glaze with decorative bronze outlets and light switches.
Dark bronze switch plates don't have the same warm, red tone as the bronze switches, so if your switch is going in a well-lit area such as across from a window, you should opt for brown or venetian plates instead.
For darker areas of the home in which you want your switches and covers to blend in with a dark chocolate wall, you can achieve a uniform look when pairing bronze devices with dark bronze plates. Without light shining directly onto the switch, you won't notice the variation in color tone.
You can pair bronze switches with oil rubbed bronze plates also. Keep in mind the devices have a red undertone, while the oil rubbed bronze pull more toward yellow.
For a very dramatic look, consider trendy copper switch plates with your deep tone bronze electrical switches. Copper is popping up all over kitchens this year in decorative accents, copper walls, pots & pans, appliances and more. This mixed copper and bronze look is the perfect way to complete the look in an updated kitchen or new build home.
There is a limited selection of devices available in the high-end dark bronze finish. Find other devices in brown if you're looking for more.
If you need a device that isn't available in metallic bronze, such as a fan control or toggle switch. brown is the next closest match.
Fan controls (shown here) have a gloss finish and the brown is more red in tone than the dark bronze switches, outlets and dimmers that are available.
Many people who buy designer finish switch plates also want their switches to have a high-end look. Your choices for upgrading the look for your outlets and light switches are bronze and nickel silver.
Bronze electrical devices have a warmer tone than regular brown switches and have a stunning sheen that will make your home feel ritzy. They're an excellent choice when updating a room with bronze, brass, almond or copper switch plates.
Looking for dark bronze toggle switches or regular duplex outlets?
Older style toggle light switches and duplex receptacles are not manufactured in this newer, modern finish. But you can still add this look to your home - simply update your electrical components by swapping out your duplex outlets with block outlets and your toggles with rockers. You'll need new cover plates to go with your updated switches, but the end result will be worth it. The other alternative is to pair dark bronze with brown devices.

Q: Volume element in 4 dimensions
I was reading the book called "Gravitation: Foundations and Frontier" by T.Padmanabhan, there in chapter 1 he defined the 3-volume element of a 3-surface in 4-dimensions, as shown in the above Image in (1.58), I understand why this definition works, but I want to know the motive behind such a construction.
My question is, assuming I wanted to write the volume element of a 3-surface in 4-dimension, how could I have guessed/constructed/ arrive at the form in (1.58)?
Thank you!

A: There are two pieces in this construction. The volume element in 3 dimensions, by definition, is given by the top (differential) form
$$v = \pm \text{d}x \wedge \text{d}y \wedge \text{d}z = \frac{\pm 1}{3!} \epsilon_{ijk}~\text{d}x^i~\text{d}x^j~\text{d}x^k,$$
where the $\pm$ indicates a choice of orientation. The factor
$$\frac{\partial(x^j, x^k, x^l)}{\partial(a,b,c)}$$
is the Jacobian factor associated with the coordinate transformation $(x^i, x^k, x^l)\mapsto (a,b,c)$, and is defined by
$$\text{d}x^i~\text{d}x^k~\text{d}x^l = \frac{\partial(x^j, x^k, x^l)}{\partial(a,b,c)} \text{d}a~\text{d}b~\text{d}c.$$
Combining the two gives the desired expression.
