We like to experiment with a lot of random materials at Wee Warhols art classes. If I can repurpose and reuse something, even better! What do I have a lot of? Wine Corks. I save them to use for sorting, building, sink/ float experimentation, and free form sculpture. We started out on a cork hunt, which led to a twig hunt in the yard. When back in the studio, I fired up the low temp hot glue gun and we began building. E used a strong paper plate as a base for his sculpture. He started out by gluing the corks down where he wanted them. I suggested he make a strong base.
(I forgot to mention that I had some pre-spray-primed corks.) He built up, added some twigs, and a wooden knob that he found around the studio.
Once dry, E painted his sculpture. He then decided that it would be fun to paint a plate, focusing intently on the color mixing. I said,"Go for it!" My art classes are very child led. I want the kids to feel passionate about what they are doing. E took that plate home with him and was very proud of it and the sculpture that he made. This was E's first time to use a hot glue gun. I am a big advocate to giving kids real tools that will get the job done (under close supervision and guidance). No telling what he will make with a glue gun next time.

TOOL Expands Summer Tour
The Pulse of Radio reports: TOOL has expanded its upcoming summer tour, adding six more shows to the itinerary, according to the band's web site. The trek now kicks off at the Mile High Music Festival in Commerce City, Colorado on July 18, with gigs slated to run through at least early August. The band's last scheduled appearance on this jaunt is at Chicago's Lollapalooza festival on the weekend of August 7.
TOOL drummer Danny Carey told The Pulse of Radio that unlike some groups, the members of the band still travel together on the road. "We pretty much all travel together," he said. "We kind of have to, you know, just for the logistics of everything going down. The schedule gets pretty tight, especially at the beginning of the tour, 'cause there are lots of interviews and, you know, soundchecks. Everything's pretty scheduled out. We're on a bus pretty much all the time in Europe. In America it varies. Sometimes we fly, sometimes we bus it."
The members of TOOL have recently hinted that work is beginning on a new album, but further details have yet to surface. The band's last effort, "10,000 Days", came out in 2006.
Singer Maynard James Keenan has spent much of the last year and a half working with his side project PUSCIFER, as well as his Arizona-based vineyard, Page Springs Cellars.
Keenan and winemaking partner Eric Glomski will continue touring Whole Foods outlets around the country next month for bottle signing sessions.
Confirmed TOOL tour dates (subject to change):
July 18 - Commerce City, CO - Mile High Music Festival
July 19 - Salt Lake City, UT - EnergySolutions Arena
July 21 - Phoenix, AZ - US Airways Center

I know we'll be about an hour or so away from landing in Christchurch, we went with Singapore in the end.
I've heard Singapore are good, I am off with Malaysia airlines. (Flew with them to Oz last year and were the cheapest this time for me) Thanks for the encouragement, I am going to start applying for jobs in August otherwise hopefully it will not be long after arriving. Just saving like mad at the moment. I will look forward to reading about your travels (will give me ideas on places to visit ).
Cool! We found singapore cheapest atm? And I flew with them last time they were good. I'm hoping me and paul get to sit together on the plane otherwise it'll be an even longer flight being stuck with randomers lol.
Did you book with an agent or directly with Singapore? Last time I booked with an agent I got to choose my seats for free but I looked yesterday and I have to pay to choose seats this time (I booked directly with airline this time).
I have my fingers crossed that you can sit together you would think if you made the booking together they would automatically sit you together as its long haul?
Yeah we booked with an agency and have to pay extra to choose seats so we haven't chosen, when we check in we're gonna ask if we can sit together, but like you we just assume they sit you together if you book 2 seats at one time? It's not too bad sitting on your own just no fun especially if the next person smells haha, I sat on my own going to Oz last year.
I knowwww haha! Well i'll let you know hwo it all goes....omgggg 6 days til we fly scary times!
Looking forward to this one when it gets going!
..........looking forward to reading about your adventures again........!
One week! That's gone fast, enjoy!!
143 application lodged and 1st VAC paid 21 May 2015, acknowledgement 25 May 2015. Previously on 457 visa, expired Nov 2016, now on Bridging Visa A, awaiting developments !
OMG! We are moving out of the flat this morning, i'm feeling nervous and excited all over again, we're staying at my mums tonight, then heading to pauls mums and then wednesday will be flying day....eeeek!
Hope the move goes well, and good luck with the trip, I am sure you will both have a really good time.
LS i'm crapping myself haha been proper stressed lately think it's made me a bit ill, of coruse i'm excited aswell tho, I'll be fine once i've landed!
I'm so excited for you!! we arent going to NZ anymore so i'll just have to look at your pics instead! Cant believe your going so soon.. at least your used to a long haul flight already, i think someone would have to tranqualize me before i went on one lol. Are your mum and friends feeling any better about you leaving?
Myself and my OH looked to do what your doing years ago before kids ago but bottled it. Now here we are moving ot Oz (oh already there) myself and two daughters 16 and 18 going next month. If they can evan grasp 10% of what you have done and are doing my heart will sing. Life passes you by so so quick. If it is what you want to do grab grab grab every opportunity.
Wish i could bottle you and send you round all secondary schools in the uk.
Thank fifi! Your very kind, i'm still crapping myself haha, but yes you're right when do people get opportunities like this? I reckon i'll love living in Aus as much as travelling around it. At least you're going at long last now good luck with everything your end, and yeah if we're in perth I will!
i said goodbye to my family last night and this morning, and 2 of my friends came round to say bye aswell, I've told everyone they have to save the pennies to come see us! If not we're gonna aim to come back christmas next year, we'll see how things go.
Stacey, my family haven't mentioned anything negative, think they've accepted it now..well they have to cos i've left! lol.
What's happened with nz then? You got more offers in aus instead?
Im sure theyre really excited for you, its a great opportunity and im sure they'll come for their holidays!
Ahh, sounds like you did the right thing, as much as you're dying to go out there you need to go with the right employer and area where the work is!
Flying out wednesday at 6.30pm.


Every year 41 million tourists visit Las Vegas, also known as Sin City, home to the world's 40 most lavish hotels, and once a year, one of these hotels, The Mandalay Bay, opens its doors to tens of thousands of people visiting the JCK Jewellery Exhibition.
Any guest attending the event is guaranteed total immersion in the latest buzz from the jewellery industry and the chance to discover plenty of names, collections and trends they have never come across before.
In a recent interview for Mark Patterson Jewelry I was asked where I find interesting brands and designers to write about on my website. Of course, one of the sources for discovering new talents is jewellery exhibitions like JCK, an absolute gold mine of fantastic jewellery and a key source of inspiration for new articles.
There is a saying, "All that glitters is not gold", and with this in mind I take a very selective approach to jewellery. Once I had checked out the several hundred designs I chose my top ten using my usual criteria. What are they? The same criteria that would have to be met for any woman to fall madly in love with a piece of jewellery: it must be visually appealing and set the heart racing at one look. I also, of course, took into account the design concept, the level of craftsmanship, the quality of the stones and the techniques used.

Stephen Hawking's Emphasis on Universe Without God
Featured in News to Know
Stephen Hawking, perhaps the most famous physicist since Einstein, has again emphasized that the universe didn't need God to get things rolling.
BBC News: "Stephen Hawking: God Did Not Create Universe"
In a new book, The Grand Design, Stephen Hawking and coauthor Leonard Mlodinow lay out the case for a universe that began without any divine spark—one step beyond even those who accept the big bang but see it as God's handiwork. To the authors, the big bang was the unavoidable result of the laws of physics at work. "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing," they write.
Among the authors' arguments is that the discovery of extrasolar planets—those that orbit stars other than our own sun—shows that "the coincidences of our planetary conditions . . . [are] far less remarkable and far less compelling as evidence that the Earth was carefully designed." However, nearly all extrasolar planets (or exoplanets) discovered to date appear to be extremely inhospitable.
The book also raises the possibility of multiple universes, a theory commonly invoked to explain, without the need for God, how life could have arisen in our universe. Turning the usual argument on its head—and begging the question, in a way—the authors argue that the existence of multiple universes would be "redundant" if God was trying to create mankind and are therefore another evidence against God.
The Times report (subscription required) includes a quotation from atheist biologist Richard Dawkins, who admitted tellingly that he had "always assumed the same thing" even before Hawking's book was released.
Also quoted was Oxford University theoretical physicist Frank Close, who incisively points out, "Given the vast numbers of stars in our known Universe, God's efficiency may already be called into question: if the sole aim was to create you, me, and Stephen Hawking, would not one solar system have been enough?"
Reacting to the news, Answers in Genesis astrophysicist Dr. Jason Lisle noted, "Progressive creationists claim that the big bang is God's method of creation. But here we have the most respected astrophysicist in the world saying that the big bang is a replacement for God. It's not God's method. It's what you are supposed to believe in instead of God."
It's what you are supposed to believe in instead of God.
But debating whether God or no one created the universe leaves out a third possibility, argues University of Sussex astronomy fellow John Gribbin in a Telegraph column this week. "[O]ne possibility has been almost ignored," he writes, "—the idea that the universe around us was created by people very much like ourselves, using devices not too dissimilar to those available to scientists today." Gribbin is referring to such devices as the Large Hadron Collider.
Sadly, while Gribbin declares, "The universe is comprehensible to the human mind because it was designed, at least to some extent, by intelligent beings with minds similar to our own," he steadfastly insists that he "do[es] not mean a God figure, an 'intelligent designer' monitoring and shaping all aspects of life." Whether the "creators" are the inanimate laws of physics or a race of beings with "roughly our level" of intelligence, mainstream scientists seem to do all that they can to avoid the conclusion that the universe was designed.

Former British model Carley Watts converted to Islam,Now she is known as Fatima
wilayattimes (UK)
London:Fatima says that she felt inner satisfaction after reading the preaching of Islam. 'It is the Islamic religion only that can help people to reap benefits in the Hereafter'.
Carley Watts, one of the top models of the Britain converted to Islam. She was one of the famous models in U.K. But now she is in the circle of Islam. The newly wed model said that earlier she used to do modeling for fame but the Islamic teachings have guided her and she looks for forgiveness from Almighty ALLAH for her previous sins. Carley Watts, after converting to Islam is now known as Fatima Saleh. She got married in an Islamic way and entered into folds of Islam by fulfilling the Islamic rituals, offering 5 times prayers and performing the religious obligations. Also, it is reported that she fasted the Ramadan.
Fatima says that she felt inner satisfaction after reading the preaching of Islam. 'It is the Islamic religion only that can help people to reap benefits in the Hereafter'. Stating about veil Fatima said that by wearing black cloak to cover her whole body and observing Hijab, her inner conscience feels satisfied and peaceful.
The difference in pictures of Calary Watts can be seen on internet before accepting Islam and after accepting Islam as religion. She elaborated that she feels at peace and secure when her body is covered with cloths. She have not only accepted Islam but also have started preaching Islam. We wish Carly Watts best of luck for her future and pray that she stays on the right path.

Australia: Renewable Energy Super Power?
Kim Brebach - Tuesday, February 04, 2020
While PM Scott Morrison and his coal-cuddling colleagues defend their use of accounting tricks, action by others will deliver Australia's Paris emission reduction targets a whole five years earlier. I chart this surprising development, lamenting that Scotty from Marketing will likely take full credit, anyway.
'Australia has the potential to be an economic superpower'
'The fog of Australian politics on climate change has obscured a fateful reality: Australia has the potential to be an economic superpower of the future post-carbon world.' Ross Garnaut, professorial research fellow in economics, University of Melbourne.
Over Christmas and New Year, Australia was on fire from coast to coast. Megafires grew from small beginnings, feeding on vast stretches of bush dried out by years of drought. Rainforests were burning, even towns along the coastal fringe were on fire, and firefighters were no match for bushfires turned into infernos. Refugees lined the highways as if escaping from an advancing enemy army.
The rest of the world pointed to Australia saying: this is what climate change looks like, while Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Radio 2GB: 'The suggestion that there's any one emissions reduction policy or climate policy that has contributed directly to any of these fire events is just ridiculous.'
Renewable Energy Windfall
A little over a year ago, Prime Minister Morrison told parliament that Australia would meet its Paris Accord emissions reduction target 'in a canter'. It may surprise you that the PM is right; in fact it looks like the target will be met 5 years earlier. I suspect it won't surprise anyone if Mr Morrison takes full credit for that achievement, even though the coalition has demonized anything resembling renewable energy at every turn.
Professor Andrew Blakers from the ANU tells us that Australian industry has been building new solar and wind power generation at a rate 4 times faster per capita than the EU, USA, Japan and China. He adds that 'the electricity sector is on track to deliver Australia's Paris emissions reduction targets 5 years early, in 2025, as long as industry continues to install 6.5 GW of renewable energy a year.'
Big Coal, Big Prawns and Big Bananas
It's only a couple of years ago that Mr Morrison waved a lump of coal in parliament and extolled its virtues. As Australia's new prime minister, he lost no time to dismiss giant battery technology as 'the Hollywood Solution', and told the media: '… by all means have the world's biggest battery, have the world's biggest banana, have the world's biggest prawn like we have on the roadside around the country, but that is not solving the problem.'
It's a sad state of affairs when a Prime Minister shoots from the lip on a subject he clearly knows nothing about.Then again, coal has been a drug of addiction to our governments for decades, and has blinded them to much more exciting opportunities. Anyone who threatens to take coal away is instantly attacked, as former premier of South Australia Jay Wetherill discovered.
Wilful Blindness to the Economics of Renewables
Jay Wetherill transitioned South Australia to a state generating 50% of its power from renewable sources, against a constant barrage of ridicule and outright lies from the Turnbull government. 'South Australia has been a basket case when it comes to energy policy,' Josh Frydenberg told Sky News and added that Premier Jay Weatherill's big experiment had failed. The Premier paid for his courage with his job. Now SA is a net exporter of energy.
The sledging for the coalition has stopped, but the heated debates in the coalition ranks continue. Last week Mr Morrison promised that he wouldn't be bullied into tougher action on climate change, 'into higher taxes or higher electricity prices.' Matt Edwards, a director of the Coalition for Conservation, accused the Coalition government of wilful blindness to economics of renewables.
The cost of power from renewables has fallen to $50 per megawatt hour, about half that of coal and about a fifth of nuclear, which the conservatives still see as a preferable choice for 'clean' energy..
So deep runs the loathing of clean and green energy technologies among conservatives that, at the recent UN climate negotiations in Madrid, Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor didn't say a word about the rapid progress we're making with renewables. Instead he embarrassed Australia by relying on carryover credits from the Kyoto Protocol to argue that we would meet our 2030 Paris Accord target.
And when AGL submitted its plans for deploying giant batteries as grid energy storage to the government's Underwriting New Generation Investment scheme, it did not make the shortlist. Neither did any of the other battery projects submitted to the scheme.
Minister Angus Taylor chose a peaking gas generator instead; these are old technology generators that can be quickly fired up to add capacity to the grid when demand peaks. They use natural gas, a fossil fuel that is far from clean – more on that below.
'Batteries are a Game Changer'
South Australia's giant Tesla Battery, known as the Hornsdale Power Reserve, has proved so useful in stabilizing the grid and covering during emergencies and maintenance operations, that it's undergoing a 50% capacity upgrade. It has also saved South Australian electricity users $40 million every year. The 50% increase in capacity will add an additional $47 million in savings for consumers, according to SA Energy Minister Dan van Holst Pellekaan.
Remember Liddell, the dilapidated power station then PM Turnbull pressured AGL to keep running for an extra 5 years? AGL's board decided to invest the money in clean technology instead: In October last year, AGL signed a deal with renewable energy company Maoneng to build 4 large-scale batteries, each of 50MW/100MWh capacity.
These batteries will replace the Liddell coal-fired generator when it is shut down in 2023. Battery storage becoming a cost-competitive option for the main grid will give pause to those who've argued that renewable energy will never deliver baseload power.
'We are staring at the dawn of a new age of energy: the dawn of the battery age,' AGL CEO Brett Redman told the media. He added that AGL had some $2 billion new energy supply projects under construction and another $2 billion in the pipeline.
One of these is the Wandoan solar farm in Queensland, backed by a 100MW/150MWh battery. Queensland energy minister Anthony Lynham said: 'The next wave is battery storage. Batteries are a game-changer.'
Lynham also told the press that the state had seen $4.7 billion worth of investment in renewable energy projects in the last 3 years, creating 4200 jobs. Why did Bill Shorten not capitalize on that in the recent Queensland election? Adani's Carmichael mine is expected to provide fewer than 1500 jobs during the construction phase, and a mere 100 after that (working mines are highly automated these days).
Energy to Burn
We are fortunate to have courageous entrepreneurs in Australia who can see opportunities and seize them. British billionaire Sanjeev Gupta, who bought Arium's mining and steel making facilities in Wyalla is 'pushing ahead with the construction of the Cultana Solar Farm in South Australia which will boast 780,000 solar PV panels.'
The 280MW solar farm will be backed up by pumped hydro energy storage systems that use old iron ore pits. A giant battery is also part of Gupta's $1.5 billion renewable energy program.
The Walcha Energy Project is the biggest single renewable energy project in Australia's main grid. It's an all-in-one project developed by MirusWind and Energy Estate, located at Walchat 55 km south of Armidale. It combines onshore wind and solar energy generation with pumped hydro storage. It's expected to be operational by 2022, and will generate up to 15% of NSW's electricity demand with a total power output in the region of 4GW.
The The Sun Cable project, backed by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest, is by far the most ambitious in the pipeline. The plan is for a 10 gigawatt solar project in central Australia, combined with a battery that is 150 times the size of the Hornsdale Power Reserve in South Australia. The power generated will be sold to Singapore and delivered via an undersea cable.
Energy to Export
ANU professor Ken Baldwin, Director of the Energy Change Institute at the ANU, says that the radical shift towards renewable energy 'has the potential to reshape the Australian economy and create exports worth hundreds of billions of dollars.' He makes the point that the Indo-Pacific region will drive much of the world's energy demand growth in coming years, and Australia is in a strong position to help the region reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
'Australia is in the midst of a renewable energy boom,' according to Heidi Vella at power-technology.com. 'Rapid investment in new clean power projects in recent years have led analysts to predict that solar and wind will provide 35% of the country's electricity needs within two years. This is up from 13% in 2012/2013.'
The challenge will be upgrading the grid to cope with the growing influx of intermittent renewable energy, which will create technical and logistical challenges. This is where the big batteries play a key role, along with pumped hydro, in reducing the reliance on back-up generators such as coal-fired power stations or peaking (gas) plants.

Paying The Industry to Pollute
Low cost has been a major attraction of fossil fuels, and discovering that our government gives some $30 billion to the industry in subsidies every year comes as a shock. Not only do we give the fossil fuel industry no incentives to clean up its act, but we're paying the industry handsome rewards to keep on doing what it's doing.
This is a global issue: according to the latest IMF report: fossil fuel subsidies grew to $5.2 trillion in 2017, despite a 2009 G20 agreement to stop these subsidies by 2025. Here are the biggest culprits:
China - $1.4 trillion
USA - $649 billion
Russia - $551 billion
EU - $289 billion
The USA's spending on fossil fuel subsidies is more than the country's defense budget and 10 times what it spends on education.
'Had nations reduced subsidies in a way to create efficient fossil fuel pricing in 2015,' says the IMF report, 'it would have lowered global carbon emissions by 28% and fossil fuel air pollution deaths by 46%, and increased government revenue by 3.8 % of GDP.'
Giving our Gas Away
We're even more generous when it comes to gas. 'Australia is on track to eclipse Qatar as the largest exporter of gas by 2020,' the Sydney Morning Herald reports in a story headed 'Staggering': $90 billion lost in resources tax. It says Australia 'is expected to only earn $600 million in 2018 compared to Qatar's $26.6 billion.' The reason: despite various governments' promises to deliver budget surpluses, they never addressed the gigantic resource-rent tax loophole.
As a result, we saw stories like this one: 'Energy giant Exxon will enjoy an 8-year company tax break in Australia,' in the Sydney Morning Herald. ExxonMobil Australia last paid tax in 2013, and it is not alone: The New Daily reports that the big miners 'earned $53.8 billion in revenues in the 2017-18 year without paying any tax, according to the Australian Taxation Office's latest figures.'
Image Source: The New Daily
Mr Morrison's latest move is an agreement with the NSW government to pump an additional 70 petajoules of gas into the grid, claiming it would reduce both emissions and electricity prices. He also claims that 'this is a vital accompaniment to our record investment in renewables.'
He said unlocking domestic gas supply was central to his government's agenda, and added: 'We need to get the gas from under our feet.' As luck would have it, Santos' Narrabri coal seam gas project is expected to produce 70 petajoules of gas a year.
Energy and Environment Minister Matt Kean called this 'a massive green deal,' but other (states with Labor governments) are green with envy. 'NSW got $3 billion. Us? Nothing,' said QLD energy minister Anthony Lynham. 'Here we have this massive gift to NSW. It's wrong.'
Victorian Energy Minister Lily D'Ambrosio said Victoria would not yield to pressure from Canberra to lift its ban on fracking as a condition for a bilateral deal, and added: 'We're tired of waiting for the federal government to develop a national climate and energy policy.'
Energy market analyst Bruce Robertson told The New Daily that gas prices would not drop, since 'gas supply on the east coast of Australia has tripled since 2014 – primarily for export – and domestic gas prices have also tripled.' Robertson described the deal as 'a deliberate strategy to lock Australians into another fossil fuel – this time gas.'
He adds that developing coal seam gas at Narrabri is uneconomic, and that high-cost gas fields such as Narrabri 'cannot compete on the global stage.' So it looks like the PM is doing the miner a huge favour. His claim that we need a transition fuel ignores the growing amounts of renewable energy coming on stream, and that the cost of renewable energy has dropped well below that of fossil fuels.
Fossil Fuels vs Renewable Energy: the real costs
Subsidies for the renewable sector in Australia total $2.5 billion a year, less than one tenth of the subsidies for fossil fuel industries. The money comes primarily from investments by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC), the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), and from state government initiatives.
CSIRO's most recent cost comparison is summed up by its Chief Energy Economist Paul Graham in the GenCost 2018 report: ' … while existing fossil fuel power plants are competitive due to their sunk capital costs, solar and wind generation technologies are currently the lowest-cost ways to generate electricity for Australia, compared to any other new-build technology.'.
CSIRO and AEMO estimate that a new black coal-fired power station would produce power at a 'levelised' cost of $82.10 to $111.00 per megawatt hour. The cost for power produced by a new brown coal plant would be even higher. By contrast, the cost of power generated by new large-scale solar plants has come down to $50 per megawatt hour, according to Renew Economy.
That leaves us with a simple question: How much longer can the hard right in the coalition ignore the hard numbers of energy economics?

Miss Universe Denmark er en national skønhedskonkurrence I Danmark, som udvælger repræsentanter til Miss Universe, Miss Earth, Miss International, Miss Supranational og Miss United Continent konkurrencerne. Miss Universe Denmark er ikke relateret til Miss Danmark konkurrencen.

Organisation
Mellem 1952 og 1986 udvalgte Miss Denmark / Frøken Danmark vindere til at deltage i flere store skønhedskonkurrencer, herunder konkurrencerne Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss Europe, Miss International og Miss Scandinavia.

Mellem 1986 og 1995 havde Bo Andersen licensen til Miss Universe Denmark, hvor store danske ikoner, som ikke var en del af Miss Denmark, konkurrerede ved Miss Universe. Herunder kan nævnes supermodellen Helena Christensen (1986) og TV-værten Maria Hirse (1993).

Fra 1996 til 2013 havde Memborg models licensen til Miss Universe Denmark.

Fra 2015 har Face of Denmark, ejet af Anders Hamilton de Voss, licensen til konkurrencen Miss Universe Denmark.

Den eneste danske topfemplacering ved Miss Universe er Aino Korva i 1963, og Žaklina Šojić er den seneste dansker, som har fået en placering i top 15 ved Miss Universe 2007. Førstepladsen i den danske konkurrence skal repræsentere Danmark ved Miss Universe, mens andenpladsen ved Miss Universe Denmark vil konkurrere ved Miss Earth, tredjepladsen ved Miss International og fjerpladsen ved Miss Supranational.

Konkurrencen
Pointsystemet foregår ved at der ved konkurrencens semifinale, udvælges en top 12. Dette sker efter en konkurrence i interview, badedragt og aftenkjole. Finalisterne i top 12 konkurrerer igen i badedragt, før top 6 bliver annonceret. Top 6 placeringerne er "Miss Universe Denmark" (Vinder), "Miss Earth Denmark" (Anden plads), "Miss International Denmark" (Tredje plads), "Miss Supranational" (Fjerde plads), "First Princess" (Femte plads) og "Second Princess" (Sjette Plads).

Pierre Hauton, né en 1629 à Argentan et mort en 1692, est un chimiste français, membre de l'Académie de physique de Caen.

Biographie
Fils d'un apothicaire de Falaise, Hauton appartenait à une des familles « les plus anciennement et les plus honorablement connues du pays ». Il a étudié la médecine à l'université de Caen, et a longtemps séjourné à Paris, chez Turgot de Saint-Clair, dans la maison duquel il était assez familier.

Premier médecin du duc de Longueville, Hauton s'occupait de chimie. L'érudit fondateur de l'Académie de physique de Caen, en 1662, Pierre-Daniel Huet a dit de lui qu'« Il avait de la candeur, de l'esprit, de la sagacité, mais un tel enthousiasme pour son art, qu'il lui attribuait toute espèce de puissance, comme de transmuer les métaux et de produire des médicaments qui, outre qu'ils guérissaient toutes les maladies, prolongeaient la vie humaine jusqu'à cinq cents ans. » Sa recherche de la pierre philosophale, l'a amené à se vanter, vers 1650, d'avoir fabriqué de l'or par transmutation. Il a même entrepris, avec le poète et alchimiste normand, Jean Vauquelin des Yveteaux (1651-1716), le grand œuvre dans son laboratoire à Ouilly-le-Tesson.

Admis au sein de l'Académie de physique de Caen par Pierre-Daniel Huet et André Graindorge, il prenait son rôle très au sérieux, collaborant au projet de ce dernier de dessalement de l'eau de mer, afin de remédier aux problèmes de provisions d'eau douce. Le , il a fait une communication présentant sa méthode de la vaporisation de l'eau de mer et sa réduction en eau douce et potable à laquelle il avait consacré deux années de recherches devant l'Académie des sciences de Paris, qui rejeta le résultat de ses travaux, non pour cause d'inexactitude, mais tout simplement parce qu'aucun navire n'aurait pu embarquer la quantité de bois nécessitée par l'exécution de ce projet. Cette découverte lui a néanmoins valu de recevoir de Colbert une gratification de  « en considération du secret qu'il a trouvé et donné au Roy de dessaler l'eau de mer » en 1670.

Conformément à son intérêt pour la chimie, Hauton était un tenant de l'iatrochimie, pratique enracinée dans l'alchimie de la médecine initiée par Paracelse, tentant de procurer une solution aux maladies et aux affections médicales avec une pharmacopée élaborée par la chimie. Un autre membre de l'Académie, Matthieu Maheust de Vaucouleurs, professeur de médecine à l'université de Caen tenait, en revanche, pour la pure tradition galéniste. Après avoir bien travaillé ensemble pendant plusieurs années, ces deux scientifiques en sont venus à se détester, au point que leurs fréquentes querelles ont ralenti les travaux de cette académie. Apparue au cours de l'été 1665, leur différend s'est aggravé, au début du printemps 1670, lorsqu'un des patients de Hauton est mort, au cours d'une épidémie, sans avoir été saigné. Leur opposition sur l'usage de la saignée, s'est alors muée en une violente querelle qui a fini par culminer avec une véritable altercation en pleine Académie de physique, dans laquelle Graindorge a été obligé d'intervenir pour les séparer en leur disant qu'ils couvraient l'Académie de ridicule. Tous deux offensés, ils ont arrêté d'assister aux sessions. Graindorge et Huet ont même dû intervenir pour tenter de dissuader Vaucouleurs d'intenter un procès à Hauton.

Many people are troubled by taking care of their wigs and knowing when it's time to give up on a wig and toss it, so today we are going to talk about this issue and we hope that it will be useful for everyone love wigs!
After using for a long time, we may want to know if it's the time to give up a wig, yes, it is a very subjective thing. I tend to discard a wig or donate it when it starts to feel fried and brittle towards the end. The best way to tell is to get a magnifying glass and look at the ends. If the ends are kinked up all over the place, it will be difficult to salvage. You can steam it straight, but that will kill the body and volume.
Another indicator for me, especially on short open capped wigs, is if the permatease begins to fail. This happens about a month in and will make the wig look like it's deflating. I will try to make a video about how to revitalize the permatease with a virgin toothbrush. It's easy, though. You just use a comb to separate the tracks on the top of the cap and take the toothbrush to the back of the weft, right near the roots. Gently brush back and forth several times until the permatease becomes fluffy again. It's pretty easy!
If you are comfortable styling and revitalizing your wigs, you can get a lot more life out of them than if you aren't. If you can't put work into salvaging it – or like me – you just don't have the time, then that's usually a good sign that the time has come. For a short wig like Bob style wig, the filament failing will be more likely than the fibers themselves failing or by kinking up, which is how synthetics break down and they don't get split ends.

Lillian Hellman's 1941 call to arms Watch on the Rhine hasn't been seen in London for 40 years. It is a fascinating play but a profoundly problematic one and it is to the Donmar's enormous credit that it has brought it back into the light, in all its knotty difficulty.
Its plot is relatively simple. Sara (Caitlin Fitzgerald), the daughter of a wealthy Washington family, returns home from Germany after 20 years away. She brings with her a German husband Kurt (Mark Waschke), and three preternaturally sophisticated children. While her mother Fanny (played with anxious hauteur by Patricia Hodge) and brother David (Geoffrey Streatfeild) greet her with wary affection, another refugee in the house, a Romanian count Teck (John Light) down on his luck encounters them with suspicion.
While his wife (Carylss Peer) is confessing her love for David, Teck is playing poker with fascist sympathisers and keeping an eye on the main chance. He quickly sees a way of improving his fortunes by passing on information on Kurt, an anti-fascist who is deeply involved in the German resistance to Hitler. What unfolds is both a physical and a moral conflict about the need to take a stand – a clear metaphor for America's reluctance to involve itself in the Second World War.
Black and white slides at the beginning and end of the production make the play's significance chillingly clear. The date it is set is crucial: the action takes place in July 1940 and the US only enters the war in December 1941.
All of this makes Watch on the Rhine pertinent historical viewing. It is riveting to see Hellman without the benefit of hindsight, making her plea for her country to fight against fascism and to choose good over evil, via Kurt's noble stance and his heroic commitment to put his own life and family in the balance. "My children are not the only children in the world," he says.
Patricia Hodge in Watch on the Rhine
The play still feels urgent, but its difficulties arise because of its form and the way Hellman chose to handle the subject matter. She was both Jewish and Communist, yet the only time Jewishness is mentioned in her play is to explicitly explain that Kurt is not Jewish. He has somehow to stand for all the resistance to Hitler without ever mentioning a prime reason to fight.
This too springs from the circumstances of the writing – Hellman did not want to be accused of special pleading, especially since a strong strand of antisemitism was part of the reason that America was holding its neutral position. But it surrounds the play with a whiff of untruth, which subtly undermines its powerful warnings about the dangers of unopposed extremism.
It's also written very much as a drawing room comedy which gradually morphs from a family drama about a homecoming after a period of estrangement – full of witty lines from the all-knowing servant Anise (an excellent Kate Duchêne) and fractious squabbling between mother and son – into a more melodramatic and tragic struggle.
Director Ellen McDougall doesn't quite resolve the tension; there are moments when you sense her struggle in matching her commitment to the play's subject matter with its inert, traditional form. Basia Bińkowska's setting almost makes the issue concrete, combining an elegant drawing room, covered with a wallpaper view of the Rhine, with a more stylised frame.
But there are excellent performances from Streatfeild as the unhappy son, and from Waschke, bringing shafts of realism to the heavily metaphorical Kurt. Fitzgerald too as Sara has to be unrealistically self-sacrificing and self-possessed which she does with some conviction while David Webber weaves something out of absolutely nothing as the black butler Joseph.
For all its oddity, and over-writing, the play grips. It's rare to feel you are watching a plea from the frontline of history. This alone makes Watch on the Rhine worth reviving. It may not come back for another 40 years, but it feels like an important piece in the history of theatre.

Digital technologies in the operating room can be powerful tools for surgeons, but only as long as they can be controlled without compromising sterile procedures. In the last of our AXLR8R spotlight videos, DriftCoast co-founder Hua (Michael) Chen talks about how he was inspired to use Leap Motion technology to open up new interactive possibilities within the OR.
Their project, MACSAir, is a touchless control system for a cardiac catheter – a tiny tube that can be maneuvered inside blood vessels to treat arrhythmia and other life-threatening conditions. With MACSAir, surgeons will be able to watch and control the catheter in real-time using magnetic resonance images (MRI) without needing to leave the operating room.

1452 Was a Hell of a Year
Two weeks ago we took a look at the assassination of William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk, noting that his unpopularity was wrapped up in the humiliating losses in Normandy under the command of Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset. His death in March 1450 was swiftly followed by the first serious rebellion in Henry VI's reign – that of a man under the moniker "Jack Cade," who led an uprising that swept the countryside that summer. It was suppressed and its participants put to death, but an uneasy pallor settled over Henry's court.

When a Beaufort Married a Stewart

Long before England and Scotland were "united" under the rule of James Stuart, and even before the more famous match of James IV and Margaret Tudor, there was another alliance between these two countries that provided an important dynastic link…though not necessarily in a helpful way. In 1424, James I of Scotland married Joan Beaufort, a non-royal Englishwoman, but one whose family was critical to physically restoring her husband to his throne. The union, while successful, did little to help diplomatic ties with England.

The Fidelity of Marguerite of Anjou
On October 15, 2017 October 14, 2017 By RSBIn The House of LancasterLeave a comment
Henry VI's wife, Marguerite of Anjou's legacy has been tinged with the question mark of infidelity since her own time. Assessing "why" or attempting to suss out the veracity of those accusations is more complicated than simply picking apart her relationships with the various men put forth as contenders, because the charges – whether true or not – are politically motivated. But dismissing them as scurrilous claims by her enemies is also not so easy given the nature of her marriage – or rather, the nature of her husband. Today, most of us look back at the hand of cards Marguerite was dealt and think something along the lines of, "Well, if she did, I don't blame her."

Did John Beaufort, 1st Duke of Somerset Commit Suicide?
On May 31, 2017 May 3, 2018 By RSBIn The House of Lancaster2 Comments
On May 27, 1444 an Englishman named John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset died at the age of 40. Ever since then, the question has been raised whether or not his death was a suicide. While it's impossible to answer the question in complete confidence, it's significant that the notion was initially floated by contemporaries and the events leading up to it played a considerable role in the political ecosystem moving towards the Wars of the Roses.

The Madness of Henry VI & His Son
On March 15, 2017 March 16, 2017 By RSBIn The House of LancasterLeave a comment
In the long list of things that made Marguerite of Anjou's life tragic is the fact that after waiting eight years for any sign of a much-needed heir, her husband, Henry VI, would go "mad" when she was seven months pregnant, turning what should have been a time of genuine celebration into a period of incredible stress and political uncertainty.
By 1453 Henry desperately needed a son. He was a weak king, controlled by a coterie of unpopular men with varying degrees of skill, and married to a Frenchwoman who many saw as a tangible symbol of England giving up its right in France. That the marriage was fruitless certainly didn't help matters, particularly when Henry's closest heirs were his half-brothers, Edmund and Jasper Tudor, born from his mother's second marriage to a Welshman in her household, or his cousin, Richard, Duke of York, who was older than him by a decade and politically opposed to nearly all of his government's policies.
But Marguerite was no traditional queen consort and it would be this period of time which mobilized her into a woman who made no pretense about actively politicking on behalf of her family's interests.

Set up for Failure: Henry VI, the Reverse Conquest & the Wars of the Roses
On February 4, 2017 November 10, 2018 By RSBIn The House of Lancaster1 Comment
I almost started this post with "Poor Henry VI," but that's debatable, isn't it? Even today, historians question whether Henry was hapless, pious, unlucky or all three. In any event, he wasn't a very good king, which is remarkable only because he never knew another existence. He would ascend the English throne on August 31, 1422 when his father, one of England's most famous and beloved kings, Henry V, died in France at the age of 36. Henry was eight months old, having been born the previous winter at Windsor Castle to his mother, Katherine of Valois.
But fate wasn't done with the infant king yet: Two months later, on October 22, 1422, his maternal grandfather, King Charles VI of France, died as well. Under the Treaty of Troyes, which had been signed by England, France and Burgundy in June 1420 – and contracted his parents into marriage – Henry also inherited the French throne, now ruling over a dual empire constructed by a father not around to execute it.

Atypical kinase involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q, also named ubiquinone, an essential lipid-soluble electron transporter for aerobic cellular respiration. Its substrate specificity is unclear: either acts as protein kinase that phosphorylates other proteins in the CoQ complex to stabilize their interactions or acts as a small molecule kinase that phosphorylates a prenyl lipid in the ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway.
Below are the list of possible Atypical kinase products. If you cannot find the target and/or product is not available in our catalog, please click here to contact us and request the product or submit your request for custom elisa kit production, custom recombinant protein production or custom antibody production. Custom ELISA Kits, Recombinant Proteins and Antibodies can be designed, manufactured and produced according to the reer's specifications.
Also known as Atypical kinase coq-8, mitochondrial.
Also known as Atypical kinase COQ8, mitochondrial (Activity of bc1 complex protein 1) (Coenzyme Q protein 8) (Ubiquinone biosynthesis protein COQ8).
Atypical kinase involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q, also named ubiquinone, an essential lipid-soluble electron transporter for aerobic cellular respiration (PubMed:27499294). Affects the molecular organization and function of COQ3, possibly through kinase activity towards COQ3, COQ5 and/or COQ7 (PubMed:11279158, PubMed:15063807, PubMed:1648478, PubMed:18801050, PubMed:19002377, PubMed:21296186, PubMed:9210471, PubMed:9266513, PubMed:25498144). Its substrate specificity is unclear: does not show any protein kinase activity (PubMed:27499294). Probably acts as a small molecule kinase, possibly a lipid kinase that phosphorylates a prenyl lipid in the ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway, as suggested by its ability to bind coenzyme Q lipid intermediates ().
Also known as Atypical kinase COQ8A, mitochondrial (Chaperone activity of bc1 complex-like) (Chaperone-ABC1-like) (Coenzyme Q protein 8A) (aarF domain-containing protein kinase 3).
Atypical kinase involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q, also named ubiquinone, an essential lipid-soluble electron transporter for aerobic cellular respiration. Its substrate specificity is unclear: does not show any protein kinase activity. Probably acts as a small molecule kinase, possibly a lipid kinase that phosphorylates a prenyl lipid in the ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway, as suggested by its ability to bind coenzyme Q lipid intermediates. Shows an unusual selectivity for binding ADP over ATP.
Also known as Atypical kinase COQ8B, mitochondrial (AarF domain-containing protein kinase 4) (Coenzyme Q protein 8B).
ADCK4: The function of this protein is not yet clear. It is not known if it has protein kinase activity and what type of substrate it would phosphorylate (Ser, Thr or Tyr). Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. ADCK protein kinase family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.


CAN YOU RIDE A BIKE WITHOUT A HELMET IN WISCONSIN?
Wisconsin does not have a mandatory bike helmet law for adults or children. That means adults and children can legally ride their bicycles without a helmet. The same applies to moped operators. A Wisconsin moped driver does not have to wear a helmet. 22 States have bike helmet laws for young riders and the ages often differ depending on the state.
Cities and towns can create their own rules for riding bicycles. For example, the state law in Wisconsin leaves riding on the sidewalk up to municipalities. The city of Port Washington Wisconsin has a municipal ordinance that requires children under 16 years old to wear a helmet while biking. I am unaware of any other cities in Wisconsin that have rules for children/ bike helmets. If you know of any, please post in the comments section.
Everyone agrees that bicycle helmets reduce injuries in collisions. There is a strong debate over whether the government should require bikers to wear helmets and if the goverment does require helmet use will it lead to less riders and thus result in more health problems than it saves. For more on bike helmet usage and laws and whether not wearing a helmet could be used against you in a personal injury case, click here.
1. Any person less than 16 years of age operating or riding on a bicycle on a public roadway, public sidewalk, public bicycle path, or any other public right-of-way under the jurisdiction and control of the City shall wear a protective helmet designed for bicycle safety. Such helmets shall meet or exceed the impact standards for protective bicycle helmets set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or the Snell Memorial Foundation.
A. A person under 16 years of age shall not operate a bicycle, unicycle, skate board or scooter, nor shall they wear in-line or roller skates, nor ride upon a bicycle, unicycle, skate board, scooter, in-line or roller skates as a passenger, at a public skate board recreation facility under the jurisdiction and control of the City unless that person is wearing a properly fitted and fastened protective helmet that eets or exceeds the impact standards for bicycle helmets set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or the Snell Memorial Foundation, or standards subsequently established by those entities.
2. No parent or guardian of any child shall authorize or knowingly permit such child to violate any of the provisions of this ordinance.
3. This ordinance applies to a child seated in an auxiliary child's seat or trailer designed for attachment to a bicycle.
4. Except as provided herein, violation of this section is an infraction punishable by a fine of not more than twenty-five (25) dollars. The parent or legal guardian having control or custody of the minor whose conduct violates this section shall be jointly and severably liable with the minor for the amount of a fine imposed pursuant to this subdivision.
The penalty for violation of any provision of this ordinance shall be a forfeiture as hereinafter provided together with the cost of prosecution imposed as provided in Section 345.20 to 345.53, Wis. Stats.
CAN EVIDENCE BE PRESENTED TO A JURY THAT YOU DID NOT WEAR A HELMET?
If you are injured in a Wisconsin bicycle collision with a vehicle and were not wearing a helmet during the collision, it is unlikely that the jury will hear evidence of this. Wis. Stat. 901.053 prevents the admission of such evidence for motor vehicles like motorcycles. Since bicycle riders are not legally required to wear a helmet in Wisconsin, it is likely that this statute would also bar evidence of no helmet in a bicycle collission case. 901.053 Admissibility of evidence relating to use of protective headgear while operating certain motor vehicles. Evidence of use or nonuse of protective headgear by a person, other than a person required to wear protective headgear under s. 23.33 (3g) or 347.485 (1), who operates or is a passenger on a motorcycle, as defined in s. 340.01 (32), an all-terrain vehicle, as defined in s. 340.01 (2g), or a snowmobile, as defined in s. 340.01 (58a), on or off a highway, is not admissible in any civil action for personal injury or property damage. This section does not apply to the introduction of such evidence in a civil action against the manufacturer or producer of the protective headgear arising out of any alleged deficiency or defect in the design or manufacture of the protective headgear or, with respect to such use of protective headgear, in a civil action on the sole issue of whether the protective headgear contributed to the personal injury or property damage incurred by another person.
ARE YOU PARTIALLY AT FAULT FOR YOUR INJURIES IF YOU DON'T WEAR A HELMET?
In Wisconsin, if you are hit by a car while riding your bicycle, there may be an issue involving what percentage at fault you were. Generally, any recovery you obtain at trial will be reduced by the amount you are determined to be at fault. (Note, this is a general rule and there are exceptions). The question is, what if you are bicycling without a helmet. Should your damage award be reduced because you didn't have a helmet on? Answer-most likely no. See Wis. Stat. 895.049. Although the statute addresses motor vehicles, it would likely apply to a bicycle as well because bicyclists are not required to wear helmets in Wisconsin. 895.049 Recovery by a person who fails to use protective headgear while operating certain motor vehicles. Notwithstanding s. 895.045, failure by a person who operates or is a passenger on a motorcycle, as defined in s. 340.01 (32), an all-terrain vehicle, as defined in s. 340.01 (2g), or a snowmobile, as defined in s. 340.01 (58a), on or off a highway, to use protective headgear shall not reduce recovery for injuries or damages by the person or the person's legal representative in any civil action. This section does not apply to any person required to wear protective headgear under s. 23.33 (3g) or 347.485 (1). When this section applies to prohibit a reduction of damages, it necessarily also precludes a person's failure to wear a helmet from being considered a form of negligence. Hardy v.
