Since "Time: Tattoo Art Today" opened on July 3rd at London's Somerset House, the exhibition has been redefining the way the public views tattoos and their creators. While the exhibition focuses upon tattooing, it has departed radically from recent shows by featuring artworks that, while created by tattooers, are not tattoos. Predicated upon tattoo's growing popularity and influence into mainstream art culture, this exhibition explores how some of the most influential tattooers of the last thirty years have been creating work that re-imagines the medium of tattoo and its artistic potential.
For the exhibition, the co-curators, publisher Miki Vialetto and tattooer Claudia De Sabe selected 70 tattooers–including Chris O'Donnell, Horiyoshi III, Alex Binnie, and many others–to create works revolving around the theme of "time," not on skin, but using the materials traditionally associated with fine art. By freeing tattooers from the constraints of collaborating with clients, the show hopes to focus on the ways in which the practice of tattooing and the aesthetics of tattoo and flash have reached an audience outside the medium. From Shawn Barber's incredible time-lapse painting of Kim Saigh to Chris Garver's classical nude, with undulating dragon "tattoos" resembling china porcelain, the exhibition not only provides an outlet for tattooers to expose their work to a greater public, but also reveals the many influences from art history upon tattooing.
Sang Bleu recently caught up with co-curator Miki Vialetto to chat about the exhibition.
What were your goals for this exhibition when you were first conceptualizing it? How did you first approach Somerset House with the idea for this show?
The idea for this exhibition emerged from the desire to create an event to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the London Tattoo Convention, which will take place this September. At the same time, we wanted to celebrate tattooing for what it is recognized as today–an art form–and provide an up-to-date image of tattooing's very essence through an exhibition. As I talked with Claudia de Sabe (co-curator of the exhibition) during last year's London Tattoo Convention, we had the idea of showing at Somerset House, as it is one of the most important venues dedicated to art in London.
And so, together, we started to think about this project and decided to create an artistic itinerary in which tattooing would be represented not on skin but through traditional art mediums. As a team, we worked on creating the foundations of what the exhibition needed to be and identified which artists we wanted to invite.
Somerset House, which dedicated an exhibition to the art of Horiyoshi III the previous year, immediately expressed an interest in our project, and so, in collaboration with Somerset House, we worked together for almost an entire year towards the realization of this exhibition.
Why did you choose to make the exhibition themed? How did you settle on "time?"
When we were thinking about how to bring this project to light, we tried to identify a concept that could group the chosen artists together under the same image. The concept of time is intrinsically linked to tattooing, and to the ephemeral nature a tattoo has, because it shares the same destiny as the person wearing it. Time is also a recurring subject in many tattoo styles, and this allowed all the artists involved in the project the possibility to express themselves in their own style. Finally, time is naturally linked to the idea of celebrating the tenth anniversary of the London Tattoo Convention.

Have you found that tattooers approach the notion of time differently that other artists because the nature of their work itself is so temporal? How does the treatment of tattoo's ephemerality change when artists finally create works that are not on the body?
Each individual artist approached and expressed the subject of time in their own personal way, projecting his or her own professional skills and artistic background onto a variety of different mediums – paper, canvas, wood, plaster and other supports. I don't believe that tattooists interpret this theme any differently from traditional artists; we can say that while the visions and responses from the participating artists are eclectic and varied, in each piece we can find many connections and references to art history. This part mixes unequivocally with the alphabet that makes up the language of tattooing, giving an extra dimension. The fact that the artists worked on supports that were different from skin allowed them more freedom to express themselves artistically. Of course, since they weren't working on a client, with his or her expectations, they were able to extend their vision out in complete freedom.
As I'm sure you know, there was a recent show at Quai Branly that involved tattooing on silicone body parts. To me, this was interesting in that people were trying to think of how to display tattoos in the museum. Your exhibition consciously steers away from that method, instead very emphatically pushing "tattoo art." How and why did you make this choice, and how has it affected the curatorial process?
Yeah, it's really wonderful that in the same year another important institution like the Quai Branly museum in Paris chose to host tattoo art in its halls. I was present at the opening and the level of quality in this exhibition is very high. We could say that the two exhibitions complement one another: Anne and Jules' exhibition aimed to place an accent on the anthropological, historical and sociological aspects of tattooing. On exhibit are some very important pieces, coming from both private collections and important museums like the Louvre, and the exhibition explores the history of tattooing from its origins to present day. The show also presents the most current consequences of this art form, like tattooing's contamination with fashion, and the fact that tattooing has become a "mass" phenomenon and is no longer a niche, etc. Our idea, however, was to focus on the purely artistic aspects of tattooing, through the presentation of works created specifically for this exhibition, which might indirectly present, as I mentioned before, the concepts and themes which form tattooing's incredibly vast vocabulary. The key point of our exhibition is the concept that tattooing is a well-recognized art form with its own soul, which also permeates other creative expressions like fashion and the graphic arts, for example (just think of the covers of music albums…)

Part of why I feel this show is interesting is that it seems to forcefully push the notion of tattooers as artists by stressing their use of fine art media. While I truly believe that tattooing, especially that of the participants in your show, needs to be (finally) treated with critical rigor, many tattooers I've talked to have claimed to see themselves not as artists, but rather as designers or craftsmen. How do you feel personally about this tension/binary, and how is it addressed in the exhibition?
Tattooing is and must remain a job for "artisans," in the sense that creating a tattoo involves both working with one's hands and having a connection to your artistic soul, which cannot be considered in any other way. The work of tattooing has always maintained an aspect linked to handicraft, in the sense that it involves a client who requests a given piece of work. At least this is how tattooing was born. From the 80s on, this craft was then transformed into a true form of art, thanks to tattoo pioneers Don Ed Hardy, Filip Leu, Alex Binnie and others. Today, defining tattooing as artisan work is no longer a universal concept for all tattooists, because while some people limit themselves to carrying out designs created by others, many others create original pieces which are commissioned by clients who choose them as artists.
What were some of the biggest surprises you encountered in curating this show? Were there any commissioned works that arrived that you found completely unexpected?
Yes, there were two tattooists who had initially created installations that were too conceptualized and that didn't link well enough to the subject we had proposed. And so I had to ask them to make new pieces which would be more in line with our project. At the same time, it was such a great surprise to open each box and take stock of the immense creativity which each person had expressed in their artistic piece.
With 70 works in this exhibition, how did you choose how to group them within the exhibition space?
The contribution of Somerset House's artistic direction was fundamental, because they came from a viewpoint which was completely outside tattooing. This allowed us to create an exhibition that has an overall aesthetic harmony throughout; for example, in thinking about the walls, various aspects were taken into consideration: the uniformity of color and graphic lines, the color palettes used, and important references which were all integral parts of the various works.

You co-curated this show with tattoo artist Claudia De Sabe. As a publisher and tattooer respectively, how did your different professions dictate the curatorial process for each of you?
Working with Claudia was perfect, because our professional backgrounds complemented one another in the realization of this project. We were always on the same wavelength and were able to resolve those challenging moments which inevitably occur, when organizing events of this kind. Claudia is part of that new generation of tattooers which brought about a change in the image of contemporary tattooing. As for me, my focus was on choosing the participants based on a decision that aimed at identifying not only the top-notch artists, but also those people who have contributed in one way or another to changing the history of tattooing over the past 30 years, evolving tattooing into a true art form.
What role do you feel nostalgia plays in this exhibition?
Nostalgia is closely linked to the subject of time, and in our exhibition this aspect is particularly evident, especially if I think about the fading roses in Rose Hardy's piece, or the incredibly beautiful painting by Paul Booth in which a woman, who head has already become just a skull, still tries to gaze into a mirror in search of her own beauty and vanity.
How has the response been from the artist who participated? What about from the public? Do you feel like this exhibition is exposing tattooers' talent to a wider audience?
Everyone knows how important this happening is for the world of tattoos. Having one's art recognized in such an important institutional venue was received with great enthusiasm. Obviously this is an opportunity to open the doors of tattooing to people who would never set foot in a tattoo shop.
One of the things that really stuck out to me in viewing some of the work from this show is that certain tattooers, even some who are recognized "fine" artists, created works that still very much depended on the bodily form, such as Chris Garver, Luke Atkinson and Dr. Lakra. Other works, like Filip Leu's and Guy Aitchison's completely departed from the body. Can you talk about this contrast a bit?
Each artist offered their own interpretation: some focused on the medium, searching for something different and original to express themselves with, while others wanted to provide a more traditional expression linked to art mediums. I think there's great beauty in the contrast found in Chris Garver's work between the cleanliness and beauty of an almost neo-classical body and the tattoo designs which "damage" it.
This is a terrible question to ask any curator, but are there any works from this show that you're planning to take home? Any favorites?
This is a very difficult question to answer because I have a deep emotional bond with many of the artists involved in this project. I, too, began my professional career in the tattoo scene in the early 90s, and I've witnessed all the artistic changes which have occurred from that moment on. There has always been incredible reciprocal support between me and these people… I also "discovered" some of these artists when they were just starting their careers, and I've watched as they've grown to become who they are today. Therefore, yes, the value of an emotional bond definitely played a decisive role in the choice of certain pieces. This has been the best way for me to celebrate this important objective in my own professional career, as well. In fact, once again, I'd really like to thank everyone who has believed in the work I've been doing.

It runs through 5 October 2014.

To visualise the Pop Up Agency we built our own Pop Up Furniture. Together with Swedish design studio Straight Design Studio we designed two briefcases that could transform into a mobile office. One briefcase could turn into a table or into two seats.
Of course the furniture was designed to fit as check-in luggage when traveling by plane.

17 W hen Fran McCaffery was introduced as the University of Iowa head men's basketball coach in 2010, he brought an exciting style that has resulted in winning basketball: five 20-win seasons, four NCAA Tournament appearances, three NITs, and Big Ten first-division finishes in five of the last six years. Now, entering his 10th season with the Hawkeyes, McCaffery believes his 2019-20 team is the most versatile. "at was done by design," McCaffery said. "e more guys that you have who have dribble, pass, and shoot, the better chance you have to win." Iowa returns nine lettermen from last year's squad that won 23 games, finished in the upper division of the Big Ten, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Iowa has four experienced players and one freshman 6-foot-9 or taller in Luka Garza, Ryan Kriener, Jack Nunge, Cordell Pemsl, and Patrick McCaffery. Garza was one of the best centers in the Big Ten in 2019, averaging 13.1 points and 4.5 rebounds as a sophomore. Kriener enters his final year as a Hawkeye aer posting single-season bests in nearly every statistical category as a junior. Nunge and Pemsl return aer redshirting during the 2018-19 season. Nunge used his sophomore year to build strength and improve his game aer a rookie season that saw him average 5.7 points and 2.8 rebounds, while also collecting 34 assists, 25 blocks, and 21 steals. Pemsl is back aer a season recovering from leg surgery. e native of Dubuque, Iowa, averaged 8.9 points as a freshman and 5.7 points as a sophomore. Patrick McCaffery joins his brother, Connor, on the Hawkeye roster aer finishing his prep career as Iowa City West's all-time leading scorer. Redshirt junior Riley Till is also in the mix in the front court. Till earned a scholarship aer last season and is someone McCaffery can count on when his name is called. One question entering the season will be the status of senior point guard Jordan Bohannon. e native of Marion, Iowa, underwent hip surgery in May and his status is uncertain due to a five-to-nine-month recovery. Last year, Bohannon averaged 11.6 points, 3.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds, and made a team- best 79 3-pointers. With Bohannon's status uncertain, McCaffery signed his first graduate transfer at Iowa, inking Valparaiso transfer Bakari Evelyn. If Bohannon is unable to go, McCaffery can turn to Evelyn, Connor McCaffery, and freshman Joe Toussaint to run the offense. McCaffery enters his second full season aer ranking second on the team in assists (102), while also averaging 4.4 points. Evelyn tied for first on the Crusaders in 3-point field goals made (48), ranked second in assists (68), and was fih in scoring (8.4) last year. Toussaint, a native of Bronx, New York, is the all- time leading scorer at Cardinal Hayes High School. On the wing, Iowa returns sophomore Joe Wieskamp and redshirt freshman CJ Fredrick. Wieskamp, who was named to the All-Big Ten Preseason Team, averaged 11.1 points, making 59 3-pointers, and ranked second on the team in rebounding (4.9) a year ago. e Hawkeyes will have one of their most demanding schedules ever assembled under McCaffery in 2019-20. Iowa faces 14 teams that finished in the top 50 of the NCAA's NET Ranking a year ago. "We have depth for a reason and we're going to need it," said McCaffery. "ere is no breathing room up and down the schedule. I believe we have the veterans who can handle it." NOVEMBER SCHEDULE Nov. 4 Lindsey Wilson College (Exh.)

Canyon Ranch Grill is located at the newly opened Canyon Ranch Hotel & Spa Miami Beach at the former site of the historic Carillon Hotel. The resort features three towers, extensive beachfront spaces, and a stunning 4-story hanging mangrove sculpture that welcomes guests. The décor is warm and comfortable with a full range of earthen colors and soft lighting for main floor diners as well as private dinning room patrons. I was lucky enough to get a seat by the window so I could enjoy the ocean as the sun was setting, although I would have been just as happy with a seat in front of the open kitchen.
Once seated, the server poured me a glass of the "house" water, which is actually rainwater from Tasmania. As I enjoyed the purity of the unique thirst-quencher, I contemplated my first drink of the evening, which turned out to be more difficult than one would expect. The bar at Canyon Ranch is far from the typical Miami Beach experience, here mixology is taken to a new level with organic-only liquor and made-from-scratch mixers. Their specialty cocktails are unique and feature infused liquor, fresh fruit and homemade sodas. I eventually decide on the lavender-infused organic vodka with crushed blueberries, which turns out is phenomenal.
Sipping my cocktail as I take in the view, I open the menu. Each item features the calories, carbs, protein, fat and fiber listed next to it. Impossible, I mumble to myself, there's no way that Roasted Maytag Blue Cheese-Stuffed Dates in Veal Bacon with Balsamic Drizzle has fewer calories than a bowl of cereal. I decide that the portions must be tiny for these calorie counts to be accurate, therefore I should order a lot, lest I get stuck ordering a bubbling pizza pie later.
I order more courses than I probably need and flip through the wine list while I wait for the first course to arrive. As expected, it's full of organic and sustainable wines from around the world, all of which, I might add, are reasonably priced. I settle on a sustainable red from California and sit back to wait for my first course. Looking at the diners around me, I don't see any tie-dye or painfully skinny health nuts, as one would expect at an eatery touting health and wellness as their ultimate lure. Instead, it's a mixed group of well-dressed patrons, eating meat and drinking wine. This is when I first realize I'm in trouble. As I look at the plates around me, I don't see any thimble-sized portions; I see substantial, portions. Oh, boy. An instant later, the orange-sized Avocado Tartare with Heirloom Tomatoes & Mango Yuzu Vinaigrette is placed in front of me. There would be no pepperoni pizza tonight. The tartare was perfect — the avocado ripe, the tomatoes juicy, and the vinaigrette a mouth-watering bright yellow.
My next course was even more impressive than the first. The Diver Scallops with Veal Bacon, Creamy Leeks, White Corn, Wild Mushrooms and Asparagus Tips is not only the healthiest scallop dish I've ever consumed, it's hands down the tastiest. Perfectly cooked, the scallops melted in my mouth and the addition of the veal bacon and vegetables brought the dish to a level all its own. At this point I was already starting to fill up with half the order still to go. Never would I have thought I'd get stuffed on healthy and organic fare. But I wasn't completely sold yet.
I could hardly contain my excitement when the waitstaff removed my licked-clean plates and told me the rest of my meal would be out shortly. The next two dishes, Australian Lamb Chops with Roasted Plantains & Seasonal Fruit Relish, and the Grass-Fed Beef Tenderloin with Tomato Confit, Blue Cheese Polenta & Sautéed Greens, sounded incredible…and if the meal so far had been any hint, they'd be equally unforgettable. And the kitchen didn't let me down.
For the final course, the almighty dessert, Executive Chef Elizabeth Barlow whipped up a special something for me. Barlow, a New Orleans native, has worked as an executive chef both in the U.S. and abroad before bringing her strong, clean flavors and creative style to Canyon Ranch. Of course, I appreciated the sweet treat Chef Barlow was about to bless me with, but at this point, I was about to pop! I had already eaten twice as much as I should have, but my Southern manners told me I'd better make some room for what was about to land on my plate: Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake. In retrospect, it was hopeless to even try to resist this masterpiece. Needless to say, I gobbled it up with ease…and tons of pleasure.
Okay, now I was officially done. I had arrived expecting very little and left with tons of regrets for waiting so long to try this delish dining destination. I will always love butter, but healthy, organic and sustainable food now has its place near the top of my culinary scorebook, as Canyon Ranch Grill turned out to be one of the best dining experiences I've had in The Magic City. Sorry, Papa John's.

Our community organizations and facilities are facing conditions unlike ever before. Responsible measures to contain the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak have led thousands of facilities, including synagogues, community centers, schools, senior centers, camps and workplaces to close down, cease, or severely limit their operations.
Organizations and facilities must consider how to reopen so that they can efficiently and safely resume fulfilling the vital roles they play, from offering educational and social services to spiritual ones, both to the Jewish community as well as the broader community.
To assist organizations, facilities and community members in addressing some of the most pressing safety, health, security and welfare issues presented by COVID-19, the Secure Community Network, as the official safety and security organization of The Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, convened a Resumption of Operations and Organizational Reopening Working Group.
Purpose of the Working Group
The purpose of this Working Group is to identify, discuss and make recommendations surrounding best practice policies and procedures regarding the resumption of operations and the reopening of organizations and facilities, given the current and anticipated environment around COVID-19.
An Ongoing Process
Various organizations and facilities are at very different places – both across the country and even in the same communities – with respect to their reopening processes. As such, the Working Group has first focused on framing out the major issues and concerns that organizations should be considering. The materials initially released represent merely the first of a number of guidance documents that the Working Group has underway and intends to release over the coming weeks.
The materials will address various health, safety, security and welfare issues and will culminate with a comprehensive guidance document. The Working Group's ongoing efforts will seek to provide recommendations for facilities to address the identified considerations.
Deliverables & Timeline
The Working Group intends to issue the following materials and resources. As these materials and resources are finalized between now and the end of May, the documents will be added. As noted, the efforts of the Working Group are iterative and its work will likely continue into the foreseeable future.
Overview of Considerations for Resumption of Operations and Organizational Reopening: an easy-to-use document in list form that provides the main questions and considerations that organizations and facilities should take into account when considering when, how and for whom to reopen.
Low-Cost/No-Cost Facility Security Guidance for Use in Reopening: security must remain a priority for all organizations and facilities as they seek to reopen, particularly in the current environment. This document provides a list of simple security considerations, with limited to no-cost, that organizations should consider implementing prior to reopening.
Emergency Operations Plan Template: the current pandemic identified issues for many organizations and facilities related to emergency plans and planning processes. This document, designed specifically for the Jewish community, provides a basic template to allow organizations to better plan how they will respond to and recover from any hazard.
Pandemic Planning Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Annex: Annexes are the parts of an EOP that begin to provide specific information and direction for types of events; this annex template focuses on ongoing issues and matters related to pandemic. Focusing on operations, the annex template will assist organizations and facilities in identifying necessary responsibilities, tasks, and operational actions.
Mail and Package Handling Guidance in the Age of COVID-19: This document will outline basic best-practice recommendations on how to address mail and package handling concerns related to COVID-19.
Comprehensive Resumption of Operations and Reopening Guidance Document: This comprehensive guidance document will offer organizations and facilities best-practice recommendations for the considerations and issues identified in the "Considerations for Resumption of Operations and Organizational Reopening" document, to include easy-to-use checklists and templates to assist organizations in the reopening process.
How to Use the Materials
The materials and resources provided/referenced are often illustrative – but not necessarily exhaustive – of the most common issues, concerns and focus areas that organizations and facilities are working to address, should be working to address, or have under consideration. Utilized as part of a comprehensive strategy around safety, security, health and welfare, the materials and resources can be a valuable tool.
The Working Group is comprised of a group of professionals and subject matter experts from the public, private, non-profit, and academic sectors, representing Jewish Federations, national organizations and synagogue movements as well as security, emergency management, public health, and former law enforcement officials, to include individuals who currently work to address security matters within the Jewish community.
A list of the Working Group members can be found here.
The information provided is intended to offer guidance regarding current best practice considerations in addressing the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). It is intended to assist partner and stakeholder organizations, facilities and decision-makers with top line guidance when dealing with a range of matters related to COVID-19.
The materials provided reflect the best available information at the time they were prepared. It is possible that the strategies and concepts outlined in the materials may change as understanding of the unique challenges that COVID-19 poses evolves. As such, information or resources provided or made available should not be considered as rigid, nor are they intended to supplant judgment based on observed conditions.
The materials have been developed with information from publicly available sources, including public, private, non-profit and academic entities, as well as based on the knowledge and expertise of subject matter experts from each of the aforementioned sectors. As the current pandemic is an ongoing, rapidly developing situation, SCN encourages its partners and stakeholders to monitor publicly available information and to always follow federal, state and local health organization guidance and government mandates.

We successfully settled a case in for a gentleman who was driving along a residential road when the third party driver pulled out of a side road which was to the right hand side of our client. The third party collided into the offside driver's area of our client's vehicle. Our client was by himself at the time of the accident.
On submitting the client's claim to the third party insurers they did not respond. However we were confident that our client's claim would be successful so continued with their claim accordingly.
We disclosed a copy of his medical report to the third party insurers inviting offers in settlement of his claim.
We received a reasonable settlement offer shortly after which the client accepted. Our client received his compensation and disbursements were paid for by the defendant's insurers as we were acting for him on a "no win, no fee" basis.
Mrs P received £2,600 in compensation.

Andrew Gimson's PMQs sketch: May seems to think she has a deal she can sell
By Andrew Gimson
Follow @AndrewGimson
What a curious PMQs. The Prime Minister did not look worried. Nor did she look unworried in the manner of someone who knows the game is over and is demob happy.
Theresa May seemed to think things are going rather well, and that she will be able to sell her EU deal, because it exceeds people's low expectations, and because voting it down would be worse.
Seema Kennedy, her Parliamentary Private Secretary, who sits behind her at PMQs with a file of papers and makes notes, looked as keen and helpful as ever, and as convinced as ever that the team effort to support the Prime Minister is worthwhile.
Nigel Dodds, Commons leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, looked tense and uncomfortable, his leg jiggling up and down in a manner suggestive of extreme concern. To look at him, one would say either that he has not yet managed to make up his mind, or else that he expects to have to take a course of action – backing the Prime Minister? – which is going to cause him and his friends a great deal of pain.
When Jeremy Corbyn asserted, in the course of a random series of pre-scripted questions which failed to ruffle the Prime Minister's composure, that we shall have "less say over our laws". Dodds uttered a low "Hear, hear". He is not a happy man.
But the Tory benches, which were full, did not convey the same sense of tension. If a revolution is brewing there, it was well concealed. Peter Bone (Con, Wellingborough) told her "you are not delivering the Brexit people voted for", and claimed her draft deal will "lose the support of many Tory MPs and millions of voters across the country".
Bone may be right, yet there was no feeling in the Chamber that he was articulating what many Tory MPs think. This was not a Norway debate, with May as a latter-day Neville Chamberlain completing misjudging the mood of the House.
Kenneth Clarke, the Father of the House, wanted to be assured that instead of the "swirl of rumours" about the deal, if it is agreed by the Cabinet, a statement about it will very soon be made to the House of Commons, thus re-establishing parliamentary sovereignty.
He added: "I wish the Prime Minister well in obtaining a parliamentary majority for some course of action in the future which is in the national interest" – a wonderfully vague formula, which rather implied that in his view, the deal may require modification.
Iain Duncan Smith, a key Brexiteer, was called, but said he was "not going to be asking about Brexit…for now." He instead asked about Fixed Odds Betting Terminals. The Prime Minister said the Culture Secretary would be updating the House on that question later today.
Julia Lopez (Con, Hornchurch and Upminster) asked whether this deal with the EU would prevent the UK from doing free-trade deals with other countries, as the New Zealander, Sir Lockwood Smith, has warned.
May responded in her blandest tone that this is not the case and "we will have an independent trade policy".
The Prime Minister did not look as if she expected to be confronted, within hours, by Cabinet resignations and an avalanche of protests which will sweep her out of office. She seemed to think she has got a deal she can sell. We shall quite soon know whether she is deluding herself.

Meguiars Polisher is very comparable to the UDM, but if you are looking for a great polisher you should really look at the Flex!
OK, so here's another vote for the Flex3401. However, after using it ALL day yesterday, I've decided that the best thing for me is to use the Flex and the PC. I use the Flex with the regular backing plate it comes with and polish all of the large, relatively flat surfaces with it (boy does it break the polish down quickly!). I use the PC with a 3.5" backing plate and 4" LC CCS spot buff pads to do the compound curves and small areas (upper door panels, bumpers, mirrors, etc.). This one-two punch has taken my work to the next level. I am completely satisfied with both polishers. I wouldn't want to give either one up to be honest with you.
Is it OK to use Meguiar's Shampoo Plus in the Autogeek foam gun? I'm just wondering if you get adequate foaming with those two.
sorry, if this has been addressed before, but any advise short of painting car, for vehicular cancer...i.e. clear coat peeling?
Once the clear coat starts peeling, the only thing that you can do is repaint.
yes, you can use ANY car wash soap in a foam gun. The foam gun actually makes any wash you normally use in a bucket foam and perform better.
What can i use to get the oxidation off of aluminum bumpers and chrome window trim?
That will work on both aluminum and chrome. Very effective, and a great value!
I need THE softest towels available.
Jet Black paint is the devil. I did a full 3-step correction last week, and i had to go SO slow with the cobras.
Also, whats a good sealant for windows?
What do you mean you had to 'go so slow with the cobras'?
I have black paint and my cobra deluxe towels never scratch it or leave micro-marring.
Right after polishing with SIP, I wiped it down like normal with a cobra towel, and there was some micro marring...i thought i swiped too aggressively, so i re-did it, went a little slower, and i thought it was all good. When I did an IPA wipedown, I saw a little bit of marring again under halogens.
I was using new towels too, btw.
Hmm..... interesting. Out of curiosity, which Cobra MF towels are you using?
What's the best way to clean my black convertible top? I mistakenly got some wax on it and need to remove that stuff.
Go for one of the Raggtopp kits. Their products are highly regarded throughout the automotive industry and work very well!
Try the Supreme 530s. They're the softest and plushest towels I've felt to date.
For windows, give Aquapel a shot. I recently started using it and have been quite impressed thus far.
Was wondering if you could recommend me something that I can put on my interior that will work for plastic/rubber/leather to keep it protected and looking good?
Also I have noticed small water spots on the windows that won't seem to come out, any recommendations for this as well?
I just ordered the lexol leather kit from you....Hopefully I can change my order if you reccomend, sorry I didn't see this forum until after...My black front leather seats are very dried out and hard but not cracking yet thank god...It doesn't even smell like leather in it, My car is only a 2005 with 40,000 miles ....I am thinking because the car is black on black and has no tint..It has lived in the California sun for the past 3.5 years....I am hoping this stuff will renew my leather....Any thoughts ? Or should I be getting an oil ? Thanks a lot !!
Lexol Conditioner does a great job of softening the leather and keeping it supple. It may take a few applications.
If the leather is extremely dry and seems like it's past the point of no return, I would consider the Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil.
should MF towels only be used for drying? i heard they are bad for dusting, myth or what?
The reason for this boils down to one main point: the smaller gaps in its material will not allow dust to pass through it, and using it on a dusty surface will drag the dust over your surface and grind micro-scratches into it.
I do have another question, what's a good car wash soap to use? Also I notice some water spots and swirl marks on my car and was wondering if waxing would remove this? Could it be done by hand or is it worth investing in a machine?
I am new to car detailing so don't know that much yet so I greatly appreciate your help and getting my car looking nice.
Will always come to your site for all my detailing needs!
I like DP Auto Bath Shampoo, and Duragloss 901. Both are excellent values and work very well.
A good cleaner wax CAN reduce your water spots, but will not remove swirls. You're going to have a hell of a time trying to remove everything by hand, so a good PC kit would be in order to accomplish this. If you decide to go this route, let me know what your budget is and I'll let you know what I think is the best way to go.


Banzenkan Aiki Ninjutsu is a martial art where traditonal arts meet modern day attacks and weapons with one ultimate goal: self-protection and self-perfection. With consistent and focused training, the Banzenkan student will internalize the principles and secrets necessary to live a safe and positive life while achieving their goals.
The Banzenkan motto of "Honor – Integrity – Mastery" is more than just a saying on the wall, it is a code that the student does their best to live by.
Classical Japanese Samurai sword arts translate directly into the technique and strategy of the unarmed methods of the Aiki Ninjutsu warrior.
The Banzen method uses the momentum and force of the opponent's attack to create opportunity for the warrior to gain a tactical advantage. By using this idea of distance, timing and angling instead of force-on-force to defeat an attacker, the student can use the most efficient techniques to escape and get home healthy and happy.
Aiki Ninjutsu creates a system where the warrior is well rounded in realistic self-protection for today's world.

Цари́цын павильо́н — один из дворцовых павильонов Петергофа, который стоит на Царицыном острове посреди Ольгиного пруда Колонистского парка (к югу от Верхнего сада). На другом острове Ольгиного пруда расположен Ольгин павильон, также построенный в годы царствования Николая I.

История

Царицын павильон был построен в 1842—1844 годах для императрицы Александры Федоровны, жены императора Николая I, в модном «помпейском» стиле. Павильон воспроизводил облик древнеримских домов, найденных около Неаполя при раскопках погребённого под слоем вулканического пепла античного города Помпеи.

Павильон расположен на Царицыном острове, посреди Ольгиного пруда и окружён утопающим в цветах садом с фонтанами, статуями и мраморными скамьями. Здесь, на уединённом острове, архитектор А. И. Штакеншнейдер и садовый мастер П. И. Эрлер попытались создать модель «рая», идеальный мир романтической мечты, подобный сказочным мирам островов южных морей, которые описывали путешественники. Именно об этом мечтала Александра Федоровна, давно желавшая побывать в Италии.

На плане павильона обозначены: 1. Атриум; 2. Экседра (комната с тремя нишами); 3. Гостиная; 4. Столовая; 5. Кабинет императрицы; 6. Буфетная; 7. Наружная лестница на 2-й этаж (в кабинет императора); 8. Внутренний садик; 9. Терраса.

Интерьеры

Атриум

Главный вход в павильон расположен с юга, со стороны садика с фонтаном «Нарцисс» (ск. К. М. Климченко) и украшен небольшой лоджией с мраморными колоннами. Войдя в павильон, посетители попадают в атриум (1). У древних римлян это была главная часть дома — закрытый со всех сторон зал с проёмом в центре потолка, через который внутрь попадал дневной свет. Благодаря отсутствию окон, в жаркую погоду в доме было прохладно. А во время дождя воду собирали в бассейне-имплювии в центре атриума.

Такое устройство имеет и атриум в Царицыном павильоне. Середину его занимает квадратный бассейн из голубого и розового мрамора с фонтаном-вазой. По углам бассейна четыре колонны «голубого» мрамора поддерживают кровлю, но вместо открытого проёма А. И. Штакеншнейдеру пришлось предусмотреть стеклянный купол, который в холодную погоду закрывался, а в жаркую открывался. Прикреплённые в углах проёма фигурки фантастических чудовищ служили водостоками.

Стены атриума украшены живописным фризом с изображением морских божеств (тритонов и нереид) и тягами-арабесками в подражание помпейским фрескам. Роспись была выполнена немецким художником И.Дроллингером по рисункам А. И. Штакеншнейдера. Двери выкрашены под цвет патинированной бронзы. Помпейского стиля банкетки, первоначально выполненные в мастерской знаменитого мебельщика Гамбса, отделаны синей материей. На парапете бассейна находятся бронзовые скульптуры — уменьшенные копии с античных оригиналов работы европейских мастеров XIX века (Аполлон Бельведерский, Дискобол, Амур и Психея, Венера Медицейская, Амур, Марс и др.). Большинство этих скульптур были привезены Николаем I из его поездки в Италию в 1845 году.

Комната с тремя нишами
К атриуму помпейского дома со всех сторон прилегали различные помещения, получавшие из него свет и сообщавшиеся с ним не дверьми, а открытыми проходами и арками. В Царицыном павильоне справа от атриума находится комната с тремя нишами (2), соответствующая античной экседре (комнате для отдыха).

Стены экседры расписаны неяркими красками. В нишах установлены полукруглые синие диваны, повторяющие по форме изгиб стены, и круглые столики, созданные в России в первой половине XIX века. Французскими мастерами были выполнены стоящие в экседре светильники-торшеры, сделанные в подражание помпейской бронзе. Кроме торшеров комнату освещала масляная лампа-люстра, точно воспроизводящая лампу, найденную в Помпее. На отдельном постаменте стоит мраморная скульптура «Психея», выполненная в 1846 г. итальянским мастером Цинцинато Баруцци. На руке у Психеи бронзовая позолоченная бабочка.

Гостиная

Из экседры через атриум можно перейти в самый большой зал Царицына павильона — ойкос или гостиную (3). Центральный проём, соединяющий атриум с гостиной, украшен двумя колоннами черно-белого «античного» («археологического») мрамора и статуей лежащей женщины (авторства французскрго скульптора Ф. Ламота). Перспектива, открывающаяся из гостиной в атриум, одна из самых красивых в павильоне. Особенно эффектно смотрится погруженная в тень экседры беломраморная Психея.

Две каннелированные колонны голубого мрамора разделяют гостиную на две неравные части. Кессонированный потолок расписан рамками из арабесок. Стены гостиной украшены ярко красными филёнками с небольшими медальонами тёмного цвета, в которых изображены грифоны — крылатые фантастические существа с телом льва и головой орла, древние символы власти. Мозаичный пол и камин чёрного мрамора выполнены мастерами Петергофской гранильной фабрики. На камине находится мраморный бюст римлянки (II—IV вв. н. э.) и две мраморные вазы.

В центре комнаты, перед двусторонним диваном поставлены два круглых мозаичных стола. В витрине у окна выставлена небольшая коллекция предметов, демонстрирующая различные виды мозаики.

В отдельной витрине представлен Этрусский сервиз, изготовленный в 1844 г. на Императорском фарфоровом заводе специально для Царицына павильона. В его состав входили предметы для завтраков и полдников, рассчитанные на 48 персон. Все предметы сервиза расписаны подобно древнегреческим вазам: чёрные фигуры и орнаменты по коричневому фону.

Кроме Этрусского сервиза специально для Царицына павильона был изготовлен Коралловый сервиз (Императорский фарфоровый завод, 1846 г.), выставленный в столовой (4). Каждый из его предметов украшают стилизованные веточки, выполненные в виде кораллов.

Столовая

Выкрашенные в ярко-синий цвет стены столовой расписаны арабесками. Центральную часть пола занимает подлинная помпейская мозаика I века н. э., состоящая из геометрических и растительных орнаментов. Она была приобретена Николаем I у герцога Максимилиана Лейхтенбергского специально для Царицына павильона. Обрамление мозаики, состоящее из полос порфира и мрамора различного вида, было сделано мастерами Петергофской гранильной фабрики по проекту А. И. Штакеншнейдера.

В промежутке между окон, на кронштейне, установлен мраморный бюст. У другой стены выставлены столы-консоли с золочёными резными подстольями и мозаичными столешницами. На каждой консоли поставлены оригинальные украшения — модели античных сооружений. У противоположной стены — камин, на полке которого сосуд-лекиф IV века до н. э. и мраморный бюст Юлии, дочери императора Тита, созданным неизвестным скульптором в I веке н. э.

Перед тем как вернуться в гостиную, стоит обратить внимание на прекрасный вид, открывающийся из столовой через застеклённую дверь, ведущую на террасу. Сразу за дверью к воде спускается небольшая гранитная лестница. Зеркальная гладь пруда и живописный берег создают неповторимую атмосферу и зрительно увеличивают пространство комнаты.

Кабинет императрицы
По другую сторону от гостиной расположен кабинет Александры Федоровны (5). Это довольно узкая комната, заканчивающаяся полукруглой нишей с уютным диваном, отделанным малиновым сукном и зелёным шнуром. Разноцветный кессонированный свод ниши поддерживают две витые мозаичные колонны византийской работы XIII века. Оживлённые тонкими рамками серо-зелёные стены заканчиваются снизу панелью жёлтого искусственного мрамора. Пол кабинета, в отличие от предыдущих комнат, не мозаичный, а паркетный, с наборным бордюром из пальметт.

У северной стены — письменный стол и кресло красного дерева русской работы и бюст императрицы Александры Федоровны из бисквита (неглазурованного фарфора), выполненный по модели немецкого скульптора Христиана Рауха (1824 г.). На столе, кроме письменного «этрусского» прибора и красивых лазуритовых пресс-папье, представлено полное собрание сочинений любимого Александрой Федоровной писателя Жана Поля. Мраморный камин с середины XIX века украшают часы золочёной бронзы, выполненные в петербургской мастерской А. Шрайбера в 1846 г. Эти часы для интерьера заказал А.И. Штакеншнейдер. Здесь же, на отдельном столике, находится умывальный прибор с росписью в помпейском стиле (Англия, середина XIX в.) из коллекции Розового павильона. Его подарила Александре Федоровне её дочь — великая княжна Мария Николаевна.

Башня и внутренний садик

Из кабинета дверь открывается в маленький внутренний садик (8), отгороженный высокой стеной. Пройдя по этому дворику мимо украшенной бюстами мраморной скамьи и поднявшись по внешней лестнице (7), можно попасть в небольшую комнату — кабинет императора, из которой узкая винтовая лестница ведёт на верхний этаж башни (бельведер), откуда открывается удивительный по красоте вид на пруд и цветочный сад. Под кабинетом, на первом этаже, расположено служебное помещение — буфетная (6).

Во внутреннем садике находятся ещё два фонтана — «Орел и змея» (скульптор Маркизини) и маленький фонтанчик-маскарон. Налево от садика, перед большими окнами гостиной расположена терраса (9), обрамленная ажурным чугунным парапетом с вазами. На террасе после реставрации установлена статуя «Спящая Венера» работы скульптора Ч. Баруцци (1847 г.), ранее находившаяся у Розового павильона.

Императорская семья использовала Царицын павильон как увеселительный. Александра Федоровна могла приехать сюда со свитой из Александрии, чтобы выпить чаю или посмотреть иллюминацию.

После 1917 года
После революции в павильоне был открыт музей, который просуществовал до 1933 года. В годы репрессий Царицын павильон, как и многие другие петергофские музеи, был закрыт, а музейные коллекции, в основном, перевезены в кладовые Большого дворца. Во время войны немцы устроили в павильоне наблюдательный пункт. Здание пострадало от небрежного обращения и протечек, но не было разрушено.

Всю вторую половину XX века павильон стоял пустой, но все-таки охранялся и регулярно проветривался. Во многом благодаря этому здесь сохранились подлинные мозаичные полы, колонны и частично стенная роспись. Значительно пострадала коллекция. Полностью была утрачена вся мебель (скорее всего дотла сгоревшая в Большом дворце в первый день оккупации). Реставрационные работы велись с большими перерывами и закончились только в 2005 году, когда Царицын павильон вновь открылся для посетителей.

How much is Rob Dyrdek Worth?
Rob Dyrdek Net Worth is $50 Million (as of 2019)
It seems like millionaire skateboarders are not that rare after all. We already wrote about another skateboarder – legendary Tony Hawk who is a multimillionaire with massive net worth of $140 million and master of famous 900 trick, now it turns out that Tony is not the only skateboarder who got it all – do what he loves and money!
Place of birth: Kettering, Ohio, United States
Place of residence: Hollywood, California, United States
Occupation: professional skateboarder, actor, entrepreneur, producer, and reality TV star
Some of you may know that Rob Dyrdek is not exclusively skateboarder, hence his amazing wealth must be the result of his other projects too but we guess nobody will argue that without skateboarding no one would even hear of Rob Dyrdek, because skateboarding is how it all started…
Similarly to Hawk, Dyrdek actually was a skateboard wunderkid, who started skateboarding at the age of 11 and already by the age of 12 he managed to secure his very first sponsorship. When little Rob was not skateboarding, he was thinking of all the tricks he will do – pure obsession, which seems to be a critical factor for success in almost any endeavor.
Later on Dyrdek will leave his first sponsor and help create two other companies that will become his sponsors too – Alien Workshop and Silver Trucks. His other big sponsors are DC shoes and Monster Energy (right, the one you drink). He has also partnered with Chevrolet for their launch of their new Chevy Sonic for which he performed a 360 degree rotation of the vehicle as can be seen in this video.
Dyrdek set twenty-one separate Guinness World records and it only seems as logical progression that someone like him will end up on television doing shows and playing in films. Street Dreams, On Video Skate, Ridiculousness, Rob & Big and of course Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory all credit their success to Rob Dyrdek, but that's not all…
Rob is also an entrepreneur! His ventures include hip-hop record label, skate shop, Wild Grinders cartoon, partnerships with various brands and many more. And just like many other celebrities mentioned here Rob Dyrdek is into charity. His Rob Dyrdek Foundation is dedicated to building official skate parks where skateboarders can skate without fear of getting in trouble.
Here is his official website.

For the Dads! Scrappers win on Father's Day in front of their dads that traveled long distances
Several of the Scrappers players' dads made the trip to the Mahoning Valley to watch their sons play baseball
by: Josh Frketic
NILES, Ohio (WKBN) – The Mahoning Valley Scrappers got the win in their home opener Sunday, in front of hundreds of dads in attendance, including some of their own.
Mahoning Valley fell behind early but cashed in on a Bryan Lavastida 3-RBI double which gave the Scrappers the lead.
They would add on in the sixth when George Valera hit a two-run home run to right to make it 5-2.
But in the seventh, Batavia racked up five runs in the frame to steal the lead away from the Scrappers.
The lead didn't last long as Mahoning Valley plated three in their half of the seventh, highlighted by a home run from Jonathan Engelmann which made it 9-7.
Engelmann's father Tim made the trip from California to watch his son play on Father's Day.
"It is absolutely the most awesome experience," Engelmann said.
"So proud of my son and such a cool thing for all dads out there to aspire to have their kids playing out here. What a thrill and what a blessing. We watched him develop every since he was 8. So it is so cool to see him now at this level."

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Offensive lineman Mitch Petrus, a walk-on at Arkansas who went on to a three-year NFL career that included a Super Bowl win with the New York Giants, has died. He was 32.
Pulaski County Coroner Gerone Hobbs said Petrus died of heat stroke Thursday night at a North Little Rock hospital after working outside that day at his family's shop near his hometown of Carlisle, which is about 35 miles east of Little Rock.

wouw… up close and personal. there were many divers down there…but I would still chicken out.
It is not for everyone … still, a special video.


A new build hotel project in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The Azizia Hotel will be the largest Holiday Inn in the world. The project has both four and five star levels of accommodation. There will be approximately 1200 standard guestrooms and 44 suites. The hotel has two towers and a podium which house three food and beverage outlets and two coffee shops. Other guest facilities include a ballroom, health club and pool. Our scope of work includes all public areas of the hotel and the guestrooms.


The overall design for this one started with the colorful owl fabric that I used in the center-ish of the quilt. With the little owls being so close together, I decided that instead of cutting them to work into a block quilt, that they may do better in strips. I added the zig-zag rows to the top and bottom of the quilt, and felt it needed something unique to center the entire thing. I like all the various animal blocks that have become popular in recent years (porcupines, dogs, foxes, etc.), and have been itching to try one out. This seemed to be the perfect place to give it a go!
I think in my final analysis of the overall design, I realize that doing big stripe type quankets such as this present a challenge for tie placement. Also, while the owl block worked out 'okay', that I should have re-thunk the construction aspects of this particular stripe and block: the pink fabric did not want to lay nicely and having no place to tie across the center section became an issue. I tried to compensate by doing a running stitch above and below the pink center stripe which helped a little bit.
The Pieces of the Past fabric that I incorporated was the pink stripe material which I had inherited from Granny. From the design and feel of the fabric, I estimate that it was from the 1940's-1950's, and could have originally been bed sheets.
The fabric I used for the center squares is typography, some in French and some in English. I wish the photo would have done more justice to the typography, so you could better see how pretty this fabric is! While most of the fabrics were newer additions pulled from my stash – including the typography piece, the blue sashing, brown edging and the black "photo corners" – the corner block fabric was among the donated fabrics I had received from my daughter's friend from when she worked at Center Veterinary Clinic. Don Diego was another quanket I made using fabric donated from the folks at the clinic.
When we travel, we try to send postcards back home to family and friends. This practice can be funny when traveling overseas, as many times we are home long before our postcards arrive! Nonetheless, it is fun and usually adds a bit of adventure to our travels, especially when we need to find the postal service in a country where we don't speak the language. The earliest known picture postcard dates to 1840 and was a hand-painted design of Post Office workers seated around an enormous inkwell. It was posted in London (Fulham) by the writer Theodore Hook Esq. to himself, and is thought to have been a practical joke on the postal service.
I like how the fabric colors in the quilt go so well with my two prints hanging on the wall behind. The prints are actually paper samples from the French Paper Company, and I have six altogether. The French Paper Company is based in Niles, Michigan and is one of the last American, small, independent paper mills. They were established in 1871 and since 1922 they have used 100% renewable electricity generated by their own green hydroelectric plant (saving over one million barrels of fossil fuels to date). As a proponent of reduce/reuse/recycle, this is awesome!
This quilt was donated to the County of Ventura, Children & Family Services, for a child in foster care in April 2018.

The perception that cloud based solutions are inherently less secure than the installed equivalents is not correct. However the difference between a provider who follows best practice, or better than best practice, and has recognised systems in place to identify, monitor and improve software security compared to a provider that does not will lead to large differences in how secure customer data is.
As a cloud based Web to Print solutions provider RedTie has always been at the forefront of making sure our customers data is dealt with using industry best practice and in 2012 we were certified with ISO 27001.This was 2005 standard at the time but we have since been re certified to the latest 2013 standard.
Red Tie Ltd is certified by UKAS accredited Approachable Certification Ltd.
ISO 27001 (full name ISO/IEC 27001:2013 - Information technology - Security techniques -- Information security management systems) is an internationally recognised standard that has data security at its core.
The standard covers all types of organisations (not just software companies) and specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving a documented Information Security Management System (ISMS) within the context of the organisation's overall business risks.
What that means is that we have policies covering all data and processes at RedTie, not just data on our servers as it is not just IT Security, it is Information Security (be that digital or printed) and also includes a disaster recovery plans for all sorts of scenarios that are tested annually.
We monitor that we are following those processes and that we have an obligation to keep improving on those processes as new information or best practice becomes available.
Plan Do Check Act Process
As stated above it is a continual improvement standard and RedTie has implemented the Plan Do Check Act Process of improvement (the Standard does allow other process models).
As you can see from the above diagram our improvement process encompasses both current and new policies constantly.
Why is ISO 27001 so important to you?
Ignoring the fact that it should demonstrate to you how important we take Information Security it can have real business benefits to your company.
Many larger organisations will insist that your software suppliers have an Information Security Management System in place and will often ask to see it. Our ISO 27001 takes that problem away, especially blue chip organisations understand what it is and what it means.
You will be able to answer "Our Web to Print software supplier is ISO 27001 certified", they may ask you for our certification number and that should be the end of their concerns on the matter.
We have seen a growing demand in this area and it seems that it is filtering down to medium size organisations and it is one of the benefits of partnering with RedTie that is not important until a customer of yours asks for it and then it is vital.
RedTie is still in the minority of Web to Print suppliers to have this certification.
At Your Service Sir!

Whilst we continuously work to ensure the sustainability of the Kaira Konko Scout Lodge, we also carry out community projects, sponsor children through school whether it is money for tuition fees or pencils, we also help the poorest of our scout families through our rice fund.
These projects are al paid for through your kind donations and without which we would not be in a position to continue with this good work.
- Rebuilding bridges to the rice fields - these bridges were destroyed during the heavy rainfall in the 2012 rainy season and without these bridges the women are unable to manage the rice crop to support their families. With such a heavy burden on their shoulders these women will do anything to get to the rice fields and as a result one lady has tragically died in her attempts to et through the mud to the rice fields.
- Continuing to support our Scouts and their families with education and rice.
- Raising funds to build more accommodation at Kaira Konko Scout Lodge to attract more visitors, generate more revenue to ensure the future of the Lodge.

According to DNV GL, the Synergi Plant software would enable oil and gas plant owners to improve overall control of their asset conditions by optimising inspection, asset monitoring and links to their maintenance system.
The software organises data and provides decision-makers with the information needed to ensure asset integrity. The software offers a complete plan-do-check-act (PDCA) approach for managing asset integrity risk, stated the company.
Føllesdal Tjønn, MD of DNV GL, said, "The merger of DNV and GL in 2013 not only brought together the first consolidation of two leading classification societies, it also combined technical know-how, expertise and products.
"To solve the problem of integrity management of plant production, each company's market-leading solutions have combined its products to create the new Synergi Plant software. This brings together GL's Galiom product for managing asset integrity risk and DNV's Synergi Plant, which has been used by operators of both upstream and downstream process plants and offshore platforms worldwide," added Tjønn.
The Synergi Plant software would help oil and gas plant owners at all levels — including managers, integrity teams and inspection planners, risk analysts, offshore corrosion and damage analysis specialists, inspectors, contractors and IT, noted the company.


Having had a long career as a French horn player, I spent a lot of time in the orchestra pit accompanying opera.
We musicians sometimes had little idea of the stories for the epic dramas and comedies which were taking place on stage.
In the last year, a new pay TV channel Stingray Classica has become a real favourite for me.
24 hour a day opera, ballet, symphony, chamber music, piano recitals and on and on.
Now I can see what is going on on stage!
Here are three operas which feature birds.
This opera feature a red falcon which we see on stage (not a real one) while an unseen soprano sings.
The character Papageno enters dressed as a bird and is described as a bird-catcher.
The overture for this opera is very familiar and begins with a drum roll. On more than one occasion, I have seen the audience rise during this expecting to sing Oh Canada.
Magpies are members of the crow family and are found in Europe and in western North America. I have seen them near Thunder bay.
The plot for La Gazza Ladra involves a serving girl who is accused when some cutlery and coins go missing at a party. She is sent to jail, but items continue to disappear. When they investigate, it is discovered that a Magpie, fascinated by shiny objects, is the real culprit and the girl is released during a joyful chorus.

"DM me for some tips" – David Warner hilariously congratulates Virat Kohli on the birth of his baby girl
David Warner and Virat Kohli
Vinay Chhabria
Virat Kohli shared the news of his first child's birth on various social media platforms earlier today. The Indian cricket team captain received best wishes from cricketers all over the world.
While most cricketers sent a formal congratulatory message to Kohli, David Warner preferred to offer some tips to the new father.
David Warner congratulated Virat Kohli in the comments box of his Instagram post. He mentioned it was fantastic news before hilariously asking Virat to message him for some tips. Warner has three kids.
David Warner's comment on Virat Kohli's Instagram post
David Warner and Virat Kohli have interacted a lot with each other on social media. Kohli has left comments on the Australian's TikTok videos, while Warner has also regularly engaged with the 32-year-old's posts on social media platforms.
Virat Kohli played seven international games against Australia before returning home on paternal leave. Meanwhile, David Warner suffered an injury during the ODI series against India.
Warner missed the T20Is but seems to have recovered from that injury. The Australian opener aggregated 18 runs in the Sydney Test match versus India.
Virat Kohli will likely lead the Indian cricket team at home against England
♥ pic.twitter.com/js3SkZJTsH
The Indian cricket team is still in Australia and will play one more Test match before heading home. After the Australian tour, the Men in Blue will host the England cricket team at home.
With Virat Kohli having spent enough time with his wife and newborn daughter till then, he is likely to be available to play against England.
India will face England in five T20Is, three ODIs, and four Tests. Later in 2021, the Indian cricket team is set to visit the United Kingdom for a five-Test series.
Incredible feeling this. Congratulations to both of you. God bless. https://t.co/E6SRHcazyr

Béatrice Helg, née en 1956 à Genève, est une photographe conceptuelle et plasticienne suisse.

Biographie

Après des études de violoncelle au conservatoire de musique de Genève, Béatrice Helg étudie la photographie au California College of Arts and Crafts d'Oakland, au Brooks Institute of Photography de Santa Barbara. puis à New York à l'International Center of Photography (ICP).

En 1979  elle participe à l'organisation de la manifestation Venezia '79 - la Fotografia à Venise.

En 1981 et 1982, elle travaille dans le département des expositions du Centre international de la photographie de New York. De retour à Genève en 1982 elle y ouvre un atelier. Elle s'inspire principalement de l'opéra, de l'architecture et du théâtre. Son œuvre est présentée au Japon, aux États-Unis et en Europe, avec des expositions personnelles au Musée de la Photographie à Charleroi, au Musée Tinguely à Bâle et dans les rencontres de la photographie d'Arles. Le Crédit Suisse à Genève a une exposition permanente de 54 photographies, et on retrouve ses œuvres au Musée des beaux-arts du Canada, Maison Européenne de la Photographie et dans le Fonds municipal d'art contemporain de la Ville de Genève

Œuvres
Béatrice Helg commence par photographier des lieux publics en 1979 en noir et blanc, intéressée par la possibilité d'utiliser la photographie pour dessiner avec la lumière en utilisant la double exposition. Elle débute un travail avec la photographie couleur après Venezia '79 - la Fotografia et commence un travail de création d'artefacts en intérieur, dans la mouvance de la photographie mise en scène des années 1980, avec la particularité d'un travail sur la lumière, sans aucune modification manuelle ou chimique avec une économie de moyens et le recours à l'abstraction.

La méthode de Béatrice Helg consiste à créer, en studio exclusivement, des espaces artificiels en métal, constitués d'un sol et d'un arrière-plan vertical. Au premier plan et au centre, sont placées des formes géométriques faites d'acier, de plexiglas, de papier, de verre, de pierre, de brique dont le support est soigneusement dissimulé pour donner la sensation d'apesanteur. Tous les matériaux utilisés ont été récupérés puis corrodés ou polis et recoupés. Les maquettes ainsi construites sont de petite dimension, « tout au plus de la taille d'une table ». Après les avoir photographiées, les photos sont développées en grand format, de 14 x 15 cm à 130 x 117 cm, donnant l'impression d'œuvres « monumentales ».

Man's body found in Serbia as Balkans struggles with floods

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — A man's body has been pulled from a swollen river in southwestern Serbia and rescuers are searching for another man, state television said Friday, as floods across the Balkans closed down schools, hampered traffic and soaked homes and farmland.
The floods this week in Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Albania and Kosovo have been triggered by heavy rainfall and unseasonably warm weather. Temperatures dropped in many areas on Friday as rain turned into snow.
The torrential rains were unusual for winter months. They have caused many small rivers and streams in the region to overflow, flooding the surrounding areas and forcing scores of people from their homes.
Authorities in seven municipalities and towns in southwestern and southern Serbia have declared an emergency situation as they struggle to contain the surging waters. In the town of Raska, authorities closed down children's day care centers and schools.
"This was stronger than all of us. We couldn't defend some parts," senior official Nemanja Popovic said.
The body was recovered in Novi Pazar, where two men were swept away by the swollen waters of the Raska river on Thursday. Authorities said river levels dropped on Friday.
Heavy rainfall also has triggered landslides that cut off roads and a rail line connecting Serbia to neighboring Montenegro. Railway authorities said that passengers would be transferred by buses for one part of their route.
Floods were also reported Friday in parts of Kosovo, where the Ibar River and other, smaller rivers and streams overflowed, endangering homes and cutting off local roads. Around 50 families were forced to evacuate homes in northern and western Kosovo with authorities deploying security forces, including their trucks and boats, to help.
Though the rainfall eased in Albania, vast areas of farmland remained underwater and some remote villages remained cut off for a third day on Friday. Some national roads were temporarily blocked, including the main highway link to neighboring Kosovo.
A number of regions in Albania were left without power, either from damage or because authorities switched off the electricity for security reasons. Some areas in both Kosovo and southern Serbia were also left without drinking water.
Bosnian authorities said that after several days of flood alerts they expect the situation to calm as rains were followed by snowfall on Friday that also blanketed the capital, Sarajevo, along with Serbia's capital, Belgrade, and other regional cities for the first time this winter.
