I provide professional assistance in safety and comfort; unbiased information about stories, legends, traditions and culture of my country where East and West met and then split; cultural, historical and contemporary heritage interpretation to visitors who would like to see and understand Turkey at religious, historical sites, museums and at venues of other significant interest in a simple, safe and precise way as a licensed Tour Guide.
I prefer to offer a personalized itinerary guiding you to museums, art galleries, shops of you would like to visit to save time and consequently, save money by having someone take you exactly where you want to go in celebrity style with no tourist trap.
When you need any suggestions, it is enough giving some basic information about yourself like where you want to see first, which kind of art you are interested in, if you have been here before and visited anywhere, how many days you will stay, how many people you are and etc. and then, l can prepare best customized itinerary for you. Also, if it is requested, a private car, van or private yacht can be arranged for your comfort, too.
We can visit most famous places as first step such as Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia Museum, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and Grand Bazaar. Those places are all in walking distances to each other. If you stay in Sultanahmet square, you do not need any vehicle to do this tour.
For me, the best way to understand Istanbul is through its food culture. Food stays as a common ground to communicate, no matter the distance we travel. Istanbul is a food heaven; miraculous city holds the best of everything because of being a capital city of very important Empires during the history for 1700 years, a melting pot of civilizations, food from all around Turkey, by holding layers and layers of culture, thousands of years. Six different locations in Istanbul are the best choices to discover local life and taste of food; Fatih, Beyoglu-Besiktas, Kuzguncuk, Cengelkoy, Kadıkoy.
We can reach a variety of food tastes from street food to local tastes, small places with hospitable great people, in the atmosphere of culture and history as an experience to be like a local in Istanbul.
Istanbul is one of the shopping capitals of the world, the Turkish fashion, art and handcraft savvy… but with so many arts, handcrafts and styles where do you start? Let me help you navigate your route around the streets in Grand Bazaar or other shopping places of Istanbul and shop in celebrity style with no tourist trap just shopping. I am personally acquainted with dozens of Istanbul shops and shopkeepers, who are happy to give me no-nonsense, value for money prices.
We can visit Hagia Sophia, Chora Church, Zeyrek Mosque which was converted from a Byzantine Church, Red School, Hagia Maria Church, Virgin Mary Orthodox Church with Holy Spring in Ayvansaray and some others.
There are 20 functional Synagogues in Istanbul. We can visit a few of them such as Ahrida Synagogue which is the oldest one from 15th century in Balat, Zulfaris Synagogue in Karakoy which has been used as Jewish Museum, Neve Shalom as the biggest synagogue. Also we can do nice walking in casual Jewish district Balat and also Banks street in Karakoy.
Mihrimah Sultan Mosque in Uskudar, Camlica Hill, Beylerbeyi Palace, Maiden's Tower, local Market in Kadikoy and Kuzguncuk are the most famous places to see on the Asian side of the city.


Prosecuting Police Brutality - Blog - Law Offices of Howard Friedman, P.C.
Since I first began working on police misconduct cases in 1976 as a law student I have known that local prosecutors are reluctant to prosecute police officers for brutality. A lot has changed since then, starting with the federal criminal prosecution of police officers for beating Rodney King. Still, it is not news when a local prosecutor refuses to prosecute a police officer for beating a handcuffed prisoner. But I was surprised that the District Attorney in Queens, New York, has refused to prosecute a police officer for assaulting a judge from the Queens Supreme Court (a trial court in New York where he handles matrimonial cases). If a judge—along with other witnesses—cannot provide enough evidence to charge a brutal police officer criminally, police can beat people without fear of criminal prosecution.
Judge Raffaele said, "At this point, given the way the officers lied to cover up what this guy did who hit us, I have to wonder if the same cover-up attitude extends to the detectives in the D.A.'s office." I would go a step further and say that the cover-up attitude extends to the D.A., whose staff uses police officers as witnesses in every case. Prosecutors rely on police officers to obtain convictions. District attorneys also rely on support from police officers and their unions when they seek reelection.
When public officials fail to provide justice to people injured by lawless police officers, victims of police brutality have only one remedy—bringing a civil rights case against the officers. Prosecutors do not want to file charges against police officers. Police departments do not want to expose police brutality or challenge the word of their own officers. Police internal affairs systems rely on police officers to investigate fellow police officers. But in a civil suit, the victim of the police misconduct, represented by a civil rights lawyer, investigates the incident and presents it to a jury. I believe members of a jury will accept the word of a judge over the false testimony of police officers. Hopefully the city or town that has to pay the verdict or settlement for the officer's misconduct will eventually protect the public by firing the police officer.

Q: table caption and footnote not sideways when applying adjustbox I have the following table, I want to make it a sideways table, however when I do so the table caption does not go sideways, also the table footnotes do not go "sideways".
That is, I am trying to get the footnote to be a table footnote and also make the table caption sit on top of the table.
Any help would be appreciated.

A: Here is an updated MWE. I suggest using the package pdflscape to turn tables sideways. They will start on a new page, of cause. In addition, I suggest using threeparttablex, so you can have both multipage tables, table notes and captions without problem. The package use longtable to typeset the tables. In addition, I have used booktabs for rules, and grouped rows by adding some space. As you will see, I have used multirow to centre the text in the first column, instead of putting the content of one row in a in a makecell-commands.
If you accept that the tablenotes intervene with ordinary footnotes, you can use longtable's own footnotes. They will be typeset at the bottom of the page, i.e. in the right margin, and is not accumulated on the last page of the table.

New antitank missile from L&T MBDA
13/04/2018 13/04/2018 Olga Ruzhelnyk
By Joseph Roukoz
Announced slightly more than one year ago, L&T MBDA Missile Systems Limited (L&T MBDA) Joint Venture formed between Larsen and Toubro and MBDA, showcases a range of missiles at Defexpo 2018 including. These include the ATGM 5, the 5th generation anti-tank guided missile that makes it first appearance on a show. This new weapon system will draw on the latest generation technologies used in MBDA's MMP battlefield anti-tank weapon that recently entered service in France. Although no precise details on requirements have been unveiled, EDR Magazine understands that the Indian Army will look for a longer range weapon com pared to the MMP, thus the system that will be proposed by L&T MBDA should exploit MMP's guidance systems while having a wholly new missile body and propulsion. The system will fully answer the "Make in India" initiative adopted by the Indian MoD.
The JV is also offering the latest generation anti-ship missile system for the Naval Surface Platforms requirements of the Indian Navy. This comes in the form of the Exocet MM40 Block 3, the latest version of the missile that is launched with a single jettisoned rocket booster and flies under the thrust of a turbojet engine, which increases the range at over 200 km. It is to note that the Indian Navy uses MBDA's SM39 anti-ship missiles on its Scorpene submarines, the addition of a new member of the family to fill other operational needs being a logic choice, that would follow in the missile system under the "Buy and Make Indian" category.

Hanwha unveils the Tigon
17/04/2018 Olga Ruzhelnyk Comments Off on Hanwha unveils the Tigon


The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has wrapped up a successful holiday road safety campaign that saw police from state, county and municipal agencies crack down on intoxicated, impaired and aggressive drivers. We all know at our roads can be very dangerous, especially during the holidays, so this effort by PenDOT should be applauded.
The holiday safety campaign run by PennDOT launched prior to Thanksgiving weekend and ran through the beginning of the new year. "Operation Safe Holiday" started with "Click It or Ticket," an effort geared toward enforcing the seatbelt law.
As the campaign got into full gear, police set up sobriety checkpoints to find intoxicated drivers and also stepped up patrols to spot speeding drivers as well as those who were impaired or driving aggressively.
PennDOT is doing a great service to motorists in Pennsylvania, not just during the holidays but all year long. It's important to have safety programs that are solidly enforced. It's also important for continual education of drivers on the importance of being cautious and considerate when operating a vehicle.
In 2012, from the weekend before Thanksgiving through the weekend after it, more than 4,200 crashes were reported with 49 people killed. From Christmas to the new year, there were 19 people killed and more than 1,990 crashes.
At Carpey Law, we represent many clients who have been injured in vehicle accidents in and around the Philadelphia area. We see on a regular basis dangers of unsafe driving.

Test methods of concrete resistance to chloride ingress
Zych, Teresa
Abstract: The experimental methods for determination of concrete resistance to chlorides – both the chloride permeability test methods (NT Build 492 NordTest – Non-S teady State Migration Test, AAS HTO T 277-AS TM C 1202 Test) and the methods for testing concrete resistance to surface scaling due to cyclic freezing and thawing in the presence of NaCl solution (deicing salts, saline sea water, etc.) (e.g. Slab Test according to CEN /TS 12390-9, based on the Borås method according to Swedish Standard SS 13 72 44) are presented in the paper. The R apid Chloride Test – the method used "in situ" to determine the chloride ion content in concrete is also described.
Analysis of the foundations of a five-storey building on extruded polystyrene
Szydłowski, Rafał, Kalisz, Wojciech
Abstract: This study presents the example of using extruded polystyrene for thermal insulation under the foundation slab of a building. Under the foundation slab of the thickness of 500 mm of a fivestorey reinforced concrete building there was applied a layer of XPS of the thickness of 150 mm. The authors monitored the deformation of insulation under the load of the building from the moment of concreting the foundation slab until the completion of its development. Additionally, there were conducted laboratory tests of the σ−ε dependence and of material creeping. On the basis of the results of material properties, for the purpose of conducting the analysis of XPS deformations and effort, there was constructed a numerical model in the FEM system. This work includes the results of the conducted measurements and analyses with proper comments. They became the basis for drawing the conclusions which will be of use for future work.
Practical uses of sound auralization in confined spaces
Pierchała, Marek
Abstract: Practical aspects of testing confined spaces, especially for the purpose of acoustic adaptations, are presented. The tests were carried out with use of prediction models, showing the possibilities of models that are used at present. Sound auralization, which is a reliable method for the assessment of sound signal quality and the acoustic conditions of tested rooms, is described. The basic criteria for the assessment of acoustic conditions in confined spaces are briefly discussed.
Residual stress development in railroad rails – a parametric study
Pazdanowski, Michał
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a parametric study undertaken to analyse the influence that changes in the material model and contact zone parameters may have on residual stress levels. A simplified shakedown based mechanical model is used to estimate the residual stress distributions due to simulated contact loads. An information on final shakedown state of the rail subjected to given loading program is obtained at a substantially reduced computational cost compared to the standard incremental analysis. A 50% increase in peak contact pressure may increase the longitudinal residual stress level by over 700%. The dependence of peak residual stresses on changes in the hardening ratio is almost linear, while the dependence of peak residual stresses on changes in the yield limit indicates a quadratic relationship. The research indicates that in future applications, a simplified treatment of the rail/wheel interface is justified, as long as the peak pressure in the contact zone is estimated correctly. The residual stresses in rails induced by service conditions may reach very high values, on a par with the material yield limit. This effect is aggravated by the operating procedure of increasing wheel axle loads.
A semi-graphic approach to the fire resistance assessment of a gable steel frame
Maślak, Mariusz, Tkaczyk, Anna
Abstract: An alternative design approach, helpful in the critical temperature evaluation for a gable steel frame exposed to fire, is proposed and discussed in this article. This approach is based on the specification of a system of equilibrium formulae, generalized to the case of fire. All these equations result from the graphical identification of the redundant bending moment distribution in the frame members relating to the particular collapse mechanisms being kinematically admissible. Only such a mechanism which corresponds to the activation of a suitable sequence of the appropriate number of plastic hinges while maintaining the requirements of the classical bending moment redistribution is recognized as conclusive for the considered frame structure.
Durability evaluation of bridge structure: comparison between analitical approach and experimental investigations
Gwoździewicz, Piotr, Midro, Marcin
Abstract: The paper is focused on the problem of durability of RC structure exposed to typical ambient conditions for bridges. The causes and degradation processes of the structures, mechanisms of concrete carbonation and chloride penetration are described. The theoretical model which allows for the prognosis of all changes affecting construction safety in time is presented. The findings of the theoretical analysis are compared with the results of the experimental research of a viaduct in a state of an advanced degradation as well as the material samples taken from it.
Wind tunnel tests of the effects of aerodynamic interference on a stadium roof
Bosak, Grzegorz
Abstract: This paper summarizes results of wind tunnel tests of a non-standard stadium roof. Aerodynamic laboratory studies were accomplished in a boundary layer wind tunnel. The main objective of the research was to determine the distribution of the mean wind net pressure coefficient over the stadium roof surfaces as affected by the aerodynamic interference between the stadium structure and a large oval sports event hall, located nearby. Interference coefficients of wind pressure and global wind forces acting upon the surfaces of the stadium roof were calculated. The aerodynamic studies showed a significant influence of the oval Atlas Arena sports-event hall on the wind load subjected to the stadium structure.
Selected qualitative changes to the solving of engineering optimization problems
Boroń, Jacek
Abstract: This article presents and describes some qualitative changes that have occurred in the engineering design of building structures over the last forty years. With widespread access to computers and the development of software tools, optimization problems, which in the nineteenseventies were solved analytically or, when justifiable, using mathematical machinery (e.g. first Polish minicomputers type Odra 1,300) are now often settled through the use of specialized add-ins to spreadsheets. This state of affairs has created a basis for significant changes in the quality of educational opportunities in the context of construction faculties within technical universities. These changes are illustrated with a simple example of the optimization (determination of the dimensions of the beam subjected to bending).
Structural health monitoring of a rail bridge structure impacted by mining operation
Bętkowski, Piotr, Bednarski, Łukasz, Sieńko, Rafał
Abstract: Structures located in areas affected by mining operation are subjected to movements and tilting. Continuous monitoring of the structure's response to these forces allows for the control of their impact on the technical condition of the structure. In the case of railway structures, the measurements may allow further determination of the impact of modifications to the geometry of the structure on the track. This paper presents the results of observing indications of Structural Health Monitoring installed on an actual bridge construction under which mining operations were being conducted.
Determination of vertical and horizontal soil displacements in automated measuring systems on the basis of angular measurements
Bednarski, Łukasz, Milewski, Sławomir, Sieńko, Rafał
Abstract: The increasing interest in monitoring systems for soil displacements, prompted the authors to search for calculation methods which would allow the construction of monitoring devices without the need to place sensors in inclinometric tubes. The application of the spline interpolation method and the local approximation method by means of weighted moving squares allowed for the creation of curves which describe the soil deformation with the required accuracy. The basic equations of this calculation method and numerical examples are presented in the paper.

At the end of my drive from Chicago three weeks ago, before I unloaded hundreds of boxes or settled into my new digs, I had stopped at Walmart to pick up a couple of things. As I walked through the store I thought, "Geez, I could be painting portraits of everyone in this store." Every stranger was potentially hours of work. It was overwhelming.
Last night I took a break for dinner at the Acapulco Cafe with my host, Knox' Art Department Chair, Mark Holmes. Knocking out six paintings plus the transfer process has been taking 14 hours a day this week. So I needed a break.
The Acapulco is owned by a Knox graduate, who had sent me pictures a few weeks ago. When I got up to pay my bill, I looked at the woman behind the counter and said, "I painted your picture yesterday." She looked at me quizzically, "It must have been my sister [the cafe owner]."
I pulled out my phone and showed her a picture of the painting. She said, "That's me!"
I'm far enough along that I've started to run into people whose portrait I've painted. What fun!


Psalm 25:4-5, Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. Beautiful July in the Pacific Northwest. Hikes, the beach, overnight camp, parks, swimming, reading in the backyard. Love, love, love!
Admittedly, we haven't been reading as much as I'd like. Both of my girls are participating in a writing contest and it seems like any spare time we've had has been spent working on their writing. I am so excited, as they are both doing a fabulous job and will have really nice historical fiction masterpieces when finished.
My learning this month originated with my children. How did I ever learn anything before they came along? The growing, refining, stripping away, changing, and learning that happens in parenthood is exhausting but, oh, so good.
"You never want to do what?" I naively asked.
"This. I never want you to leave me here overnight," she replied with a straight face, looking me in the eye.
Okey dokey. Count her out!
But, about 6 months ago, out of the blue, Abby began talking about camp. "I want to go to camp this year." This same statement or some variation was repeated weekly up until the day she finally got to go to camp.
She did suffer some homesickness while she was away at camp. But, she made friends, had fun, and learned to rely on God while away from the comforts of her home!
Our church, Calvary Chapel Marysville, has been going through a parenting video series by Paul Tripp on Wednesday nights. I have had so many take aways in the 4 episodes we have watched so far. But, the biggest, life changing take away so far has been viewing interruptions from our kids in a different light.
Paul Tripp told about the importance of seeing our children's interruptions as ministry moments rather than interruptions. When our plans are interrupted by our children, rather than being annoyed and angry, we can see it as a God appointed opportunity to listen to, possibly counsel, and love our children.
Immediately after learning this new thought process, I was put to the test. During my quiet time, no less! My sweet child knows not to interrupt my quiet time, but nonetheless, the knock came.
Yes! Yes, sweet girl. Take your every need to Jesus. Let that be your first thought…pray for me.
Can you view changes in your plans today as "ministry moments"? Can you look for what God is doing in the interruptions? Can you open your heart and mind to the possibility that you are not to be annoyed but instead interested in what God is doing?
Lord, you are King and Creator. Help us today. Help us to have your eyes and heart during the interruptions. Soften our hearts and minds to look deeper at the people you place in our lives. Amen.
Thank you Lisa for this reminder regarding interruptions. I needed that.

SMITHSBURG - North Hagerstown won the battles at the front, but Williamsport came back to win the war Friday in the Antietam Conference boys race at the MVAL Cross Country Championships.
North sophomore Hemu Arumugam gapped Williamsport's Devin Hewitt in the final half-mile of the 3-mile course for the victory in 16 minutes, 52 seconds.
"He made a burst and just pulled away from me," said Hewitt, who finished 5 seconds back. "I didn't have anything left."
Hubs Cameron Hanlin (17:33) and Brandon Brown (17:52) then threw in their all-conference (top seven) jabs, sandwiching Aaron Buchman (17:41) - the Wildcats' second runner - with their fourth- and sixth-place finishes.
While Williamsport's third runner, Justin Cole, was a distant 11th (18:22), Wildcats James Fiorita, Curtis Babbie and Jerrett McCormick packed in the 16th, 17th and 18th places - just seconds ahead of 19th-place Travis Bolio, North's No. 4 man - as Williamsport edged the Hubs for the team title, 49-53.
"The old adage is true, it takes a team to win. Our sixth guy was in before North's fourth guy and that's what made the difference," Williamsport coach Randy Buchman said. "North's first three guys are really tough, and our first two guys were right with them. The thing we needed to do was make an impression on our (No.) 3 to 7 runners that they were the ones who had to win it.
"I'm just really happy for the boys because the girls team lately has been so good and has gotten a lot of the attention."
The defending Maryland Class 1A state champ Williamsport girls were front and center again Friday, capturing three of the top four places and six of the top 14 to easily top runner-up North, 29-58.
Sophomores Theresa Ruland (19:49), Laura Forsythe (19:58) and Amanda Breeden (20:16) placed second, third and fourth to pace the Wildcats.
Clear Spring junior and first-year harrier Ashley Lockard continued her winning ways, taking the Antietam crown in 19:31 - the top time of the day's three varsity girls races.
Lockard shared the lead with Ruland and North's Jenna Line, who faded to sixth, for the first half of the race, before breaking free.
"I was a little nervous early. They all got out pretty fast and were being consistent," Lockard said. "I just opened up my stride a little bit and used the hills to open it up. ... It was pretty cool."
The Antietam's other all-conference performers were Clear Spring's Jimmy Atkins (third, 17:11) and Catoctin's Jeremy Kurtz (seventh, 17:57) for the boys, and Catoctin's Jamie Wright (fifth, 20:20) and North's Jessica Hanlin (seventh, 20:34) for the girls.
Middletown swept the Piedmont Conference, winning both team titles.
Lindsey Kessler (20:25) and Catherine Rohland (20:29) went 1-2 and Bonnie Kaas was seventh (21:12), leading the Middletown girls to a winning total of 33 points - 12 fewer than second-place Winters Mill.
The Knights slipped past FSK 53-57 for the boys crown, getting top-10 finishes from John Coconis (third, 17:06) and Jon Edmands (ninth, 17:28). Walkersville's Ian Andrews (17:13) was fifth.
Urbana won both Chesapeake team titles.
The Hawks' Kurt Kuehne turned in a day-best 16:16 to lead the boys, while Thomas Johnson's Marshal Lawrence was fourth (16:45).
TJ's Chelsea Powell finished second (19:43) in the girls race.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Marco's voice boomed with authority as Cay's body shook from his outburst. "I tried" she cried softly. "I was six weeks pregnant, when I found out.
I tried coming by your home, everyday for a week, only to be told that you didn't want to see me. I knew what I had to do, so I set my mind to the task at hand, got a job, found a little apartment and "Why didn't you tell me?" Marco's voice boomed with authority as Cay's body shook from his outburst. "I tried" she cried softly.
"I was six weeks pregnant, when I found out. I tried coming by your home, everyday for a week, only to be told that you didn't want to see me. I knew what I had to do, so I set my mind to the task at hand, got a job, found a little apartment and with Julietta's help, I had Julian".
He tried to digest everything that he'd been told and with the sudden knowledge that someone had deliberately deceived them both, he was angry. More than angry, he was livid. He had missed four years of his son's life and that was unforgivable in his book and now he needed to know who so desperately wanted to keep them apart.
Will Cayenne be able to forgive Marco? Would she ever be able to open her heart again to the only man that she'd ever been with and loved? Only time would tell but she was willing to try, if only for little Julian's sake.
Follow the twists and turns of Marco Salvatore DeLuca, Mafia boss of the New York area and Aerin Cayanne Daniel's lives as they try to find their way back to each other amidst all the danger, lies, deceit and suspicions his lifestyle could throw at them.

The Big Show at Lawndale
As I understand it, Lawndale has been doing "The Big Show" every year for the past 30 years. I don't know if the format has always been the same though. This version of it featured works by a whole bunch of artists from the Houston area. They were chosen by a guest curator from St. Louis from works by 409 artists who entered works (and paid an entry fee for the privilege). The show on the walls is what Laura Fried picked. You can see it until August 8.
I don't have any idea what was rejected from the show, but I was surprised by the number of paintings (as opposed to sculptures or video or installations or mixed media work). I was surprised by the number of basically realist paintings, or paintings that used elements of realism within postmodern contexts. It seems like a really conservative show over-all. That's OK. I was impressed by the painting prowess of Houston.
Kevin Peterson, Hope, oil on canvas, 2009
Like this amusing painting byt Kevin Peterson. The artist assures us that the man on the left is not meant to be Obama, and that indeed both men are white. He made this statement at a slide show given by the artists. Not all the artists spoke, though. I am pretty sure we didn't hear from Michael Arcieri, for example.
Michael Arcieri, Nation Builder, acrylic and oil on canvas, 2009
The idea here is kind of cheesy, juxtapozing a baroque style painting with grafitti. I think he may be suggesting that the two modes of expression are both highly coded in ways that their intended audiences would understand easily, even if they are opaque to 21st century gallery goers. I just like the contrast between the flatness of the grafitti and the depth and roundness of the baroque figures.
Michael Arcieri, Slave, acrylic and oil on canvas, 2009
Grafitti played a part in several pieces. Street art has come a long way since I was doing pieces in the early 80s. I like the way David Cobb painted an illusionistic depiction of basically flat grafitti here, and I like the feel of the railyard.
David S. Cobb, Blue Camel, acrylic on board, 2009
Mindy Kober showed slides of her work over time (as many of the artists did). Her work began being done mostly with gouache but she recently changed to using crayon.
Mindy Kober, Contemplating the Universe, crayon and gouache on paper, 2009
The reason she gave was simple--crayons were cheaper than gouche. The recession has hit everyone hard, hey.
Jed Foronda was one of the slide show artists. He showed a lot of older work that seemed fairly loud and colorful, a little like Ben Jones, but now, as he put it, "painting wasn't working" for him anymore. What he was doing now was excavating magazines with a sharp knife, creating these debossed objects that, in contrast to the earlier work in his slides, seem quite elegant.
Jed Foronda, Glory Hole No. 8, primer, wood, excavated Artforum, 2009
I like how they look like colorful, terraced open-pit mines.
Jed Foronda, The Wheels Keep On Spinning, primer, wood, excavated Artforum, 2009
Jed Foronda, The Wheels Keep On Spinning, primer, wood, excavated Artforum, 2009 (seen from an angle)
Foronda said the best magazines to use for this kind of piece were art magazines and porno magazines--because they both have really good colors.
John Runnels, From the Series: Whisky Tango Foxtrot - For Ultimate Carnal Knowledge, encyclopedia and bookends, 2009
There are a couple of punks in the show. This by John Runnels piece amused me. It was also one of the few sculptural pieces in the show.
Jasmyne Graybill managed to get three sculptures in the show. Well-deserved--these pieces are astonishing (and really disgusting in a totally surprising way).
Jasmyne Graybill, Specklebelly, steamer basket and polymer clay, 2008
Yech, right?
Jasmyne Graybill, Citruspur, lime squeeze, polymer clay and plastic, 2008
This is art you can almost smell--musty, gag-inducing. The craftsmanship is astonishing.
Jasmyne Graybill, Crested Buttercream Polyps, muffin pan and polymer clay, 2008
I love them. Perfect art for the kitchen!
Over all, the artists seemed too smart. Lots of references to other art and to art history were worn too close to the surface. When the artists spoke, they often spoke of "exploring issues around" this or that. I kept waiting for someone to say, "I paint X because I like X." For all the skill shown here, I didn't feel much. Even the political pieces seemed old hat. I saw reflections of art from New York and elsewhere, filtered through BFA and MFA programs. This may be unfair because I know not all the artists come out of that world of university art education. And I liked a lot of the work! I just wasn't blown away by much, and maybe part of the reason for that was hearing the artists speak about their work. Maybe that was a mistake.
The earnest, intelligent artist statements perhaps gave me extra appreciation for Jim Nolan's slide presentation. He described his work as post-minimalist, and name-checked one of my least favorite artists of the 80s, Joel Shapiro, but in contrast to so many of the artist here, he felt free to declare, "I try to stay away from craftsmanship as much as possible." After all, he added, "if you spend a lot of time on something, does it get better?"
Labels: art, Art I Like, David S. Cobb, Jasmyne Graybill, Jed Foronda, John Runnels, Kevin Peterson, Michael Arcieri, Mindy Kober
Does it put you in just the tiniest funk when you do a post like this one and it draws few comments?
It shouldn't. Put you in a funk, that is. Your material does deserve comment, often, and I'm not sure why (it seems to me) you don't get many.
I figure people are mostly too lazy even to write a comment. Or maybe, everybody that visits is in total concord with everything you say. I dunno.
I'm gonna keep your art posts in mind, myself. I enjoy the stuff, though I am at complete odds with much of the opinions required to participate in such pastimes. Don't even bother to protest that all viewpoints are welcome - you know that's not true.
I do have one other thing - go back to Boyd's Blog, man.
Robert Boyd August 1, 2009 at 2:30 PM
Considering that I only get between 1000 and 1500 "visits" per month, I am not particularly disappointed with the number of comments. My blog is really scattershot, covering whatever I am into at the moment. The kind that get lots of comments are more focused on one subject. People who are passionate about that subject go to that blog, and given their passion, are more likely to comment. I am too much of a generalist to attract that sort of passionate reader or commenter, I guess.
(Not changing the name yet. If I do, I might change it to "The Great God Pan Is Dead"...)

Joaquín Pérez de Arrieta Márquez (Zaragoza, 25 de noviembre de 1784) fue un periodista y político español del siglo XIX.

Reseña biográfica
Nació en Zaragoza, hijo del abogado Joaquín Pérez Arrieta y de Teresa Márquez, de otra familia de abogados. Se formó en humanidades y matemáticas en la universidad de Zaragoza y la Real Sociedad Económica Aragonesa de Amigos del País. Durante los sitios de Zaragoza, tomó partido por José de Palafox.

Durante la guerra de la independencia española, se refugió en Mallorca, donde consta su vinculación al editor liberal Miguel Domingo y sus polémicas con autores conservadores. Fue el editor del periódico La Antorcha, donde se celebró el final de la Inquisición española y se criticaba el conservadurismo. Fue luego editor de otras publicaciones liberales de la época como el Diario  Político  y Mercantil de Palma. Durante el posterior predominio conservador en el reinado de Fernando VII, consta su persecución por sus ideas liberales, apareciendo también vinculado al general Torrijos.

Liberado de la cárcel de Murcia con la llegada del Trienio Liberal en 1820, fue nombrado secretario del Gobierno Político de Murcia. La jefatura política recayó en el liberal Juan Romero Alpuente, aragonés como Pérez Arrieta y protector suyo. Pese a ello durante el Trienio Liberal tuvo polémicas tanto con el nuevo régimen liberal como con autores conservadores. Para 1822 había sido cesado y encarcelado, enemistado con el nuevo jefe político. En 1823 recuperó su empleo para ser cesado de nuevo con la llegada de un nuevo régimen conservador tras los Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis.

Regresó a la escena política con la muerte de Fernando VII y el establecimiento de la regencia de María Cristina si bien se desconoce qué amnistía le incluyó. Particularmente el auge del liberalismo progresista, con el que simpatizaba, le benefició políticamente. A partir del 3 de septiembre de 1835 fue secretario del gobierno político de la provincia de Zaragoza sustituyendo a Ramón Adán. Desde el 15 de abril de 1836 fue jefe político interino encargándose de la jefatura política de la provincia de Zaragoza hasta la llegada del próximo jefe político titular, Francisco Romeo y Gamboa, que no llegó a tomar posesión de su cargo. Fue finalmente sustituido por Evaristo San Miguel el 15 de junio de 1836. Fue en paralelo diputado a a Cortes en 1836-1837.

En 1840 fue Jefe de Sección en el Ministerio de la Gobernación. Se jubiló en 1843.

The property is of steel portal frame construction with brick and block walls to a height of 2 m with insulated clad panels above.
Internally the warehouse has concrete floor throughout with intermittent sodium lighting, a 3 phase electricity supply, and an eaves height of approximately 7 m.
To the front elevation is a reception with office, kitchen and toilet facilities. There are further office facilities on the first floor.
Access to the property is by an electric sectional roller shutter door which opens out onto a shared forecourt which has dedicated parking.
The premises are located just off Fourth Avenue which connects Princesway and Kingsway, one of the two main thoroughfares through Team Valley Trading Estate. Team Valley is the North East's premier industrial location, approximately 3 miles to the south of Newcastle city centre and 1 mile south west of Gateshead town centre. The estate benefits from direct access onto two junctions of the A1(M) motorway.
Team Valley's success as an industrial and commercial location is directly related to its position in the centre of the regional motorway network which provides excellent road access to other parts of the North East and other major centre throughout the United Kingdom.


Hundreds of families added a bit of American history and tradition to their Easter festivities over the weekend.
FREMONT - Hundreds of families added a bit of American history and tradition to their Easter festivities over the weekend by celebrating at the Hayes Presidential Library and Museums.
Although the damp and uncertain weather forecast sparked some changes to the annual Hayes Easter Egg Roll this year, the museum opened up its doors for plenty of smiles to be had inside on Saturday afternoon.
Organizers made the decision on Friday to move the event inside based on the forecast at the time, which called for heavy rain and strong winds. However, Saturday turned out to be rather nice in the morning, with the rain waiting until later in the day.
As a result, over 500 people from all around the region made the trip to Fremont for the free Easter activities at the Hayes Museum.
"I thought it might be pouring rain, so I thought that might keep people away. I didn't dream that we would have this many people," said Joan Eckermann, special events coordinator at Hayes.
Typically, the main attraction of the annual event is the Hayes Easter Egg Roll, much like that of the White House Easter Egg Roll, an over century-old tradition started by President Rutherford B. Hayes himself in 1877, which carries on to this day in Washington.
On Saturday, the outdoor games on the lawn had to be canceled, with the event moved indoors, but there was still plenty of fun for the whole family.
Balloons filled up the museum as children waited in line for face painting, games, story time and an egg decorating contest. The museum also was open to explore at no cost.
It takes about 20 volunteers to help make the event a reality, including numerous area students, whether painting faces, greeting guests or reading stories.
For Emma Raber, a freshman at Oak Harbor High School, helping out at there is nothing new — she has been for as long as she can remember. Her mother, Christie Weininger, is director of the Hayes Presidential Library and Museums.
With all of the busy fun on Saturday, Raber said she ran out of her balloons in what seemed like less than 10 minutes.
"That's the thing about the museum profession, sometimes it's a family affair," Weininger said.

held on Wednesday 4th May 2016 from 4pm at Friends House Euston.
John Courtneidge (chair), Simon Mouatt, Janos Abel, Gian Andreone, Mary Fee (notes): we began with general introductions and statements of what people wanted to achieve at the meeting. Apologies: Peter Challen, who had sent in his Moderator's Appraisal.
The booking for CCMJ's Annual Appraisal to be held at St John's Church Waterloo on Saturday 14th May 2016 had been cancelled due to a poor response to Peter Challen's invitation, the reason – which only later come to light – being that an individual had offered to under-write the cost, and donations from the few who had promised to attend were unlikely to cover the booking fee for the room. Those present had agreed to attend a meeting in preparation of a future AGM (which according to CCMJ'S constitution would normally held between September and November).
3.1. Earlier Papers: from http://www.ccmj.org – currently available via http://ccmj.org/index-old.htm – in particular a list of topics at: http://ccmj.org/proposals.htm was noted – material that needs redefinition and renewal if the organisation is to continue – and it was agreed that a major archiving task, of CCMJ's history, before and after Social Credit, needs doing. We hoped that Peter Challen will be willing to assist with this.
3.2. The 2013/14 two-day appraisal had called for re-organisation, but with a team working together: see • Invitation: http://ccmj.org/wp/basic-ccmj/annual-appraisal-201314-march-8th9th-options • Preparatory Notes: http://ccmj.org/wp/basic-ccmj/annual-appraisal-201314-preparatory-notes • Proposals: http://ccmj.org/wp/basic-ccmj/annual-appraisal-201314-notes – but alas there are no actual minutes on record.
3.4. The 2015/16 Appraisal: It was noted that Peter Challen's appraisal for the current meeting: http://ccmj.org/wp/basic-ccmj/annual-appraisal-201516-from-the-moderator, illustrated that setting up a Constitutionalists Party (ICUK) had continued to dominate the agenda, and that matters relating to CCMJ have been neglected. At least one member who contributed to the 2015 appraisal, has specifically stated that he cannot be involved in CCMJ until it disengages from ICUK.
(2) More specifically, two fairly recent monetary reform organisations in Britain – Positive Money, and The Finance Innovation Lab – have had notable success. And the New Economics Foundation (NEF) continues to do excellent work. What has been CCMJ`s contribution to same?
(3) The wealth of material in the weekly "Matters in the Air" emails — on which Peter has toiled mightily — should be preserved.
I hope the above might be helpful, though scarcely address your pressing organizational concerns as reflected in your draft agenda for the meeting tomorrow. Keep up the good work. There is no "equivalent to the CCMJ in Canada.
(a) Òngoing info on the COMER (Committee on Monetary and Economic Reform) lawsuit against the Bank of Canada can be found in the links here: http://comer.org/ .
4.3. It was agreed that both Michael's input, that of COMER, and the report of the above debate in the UK parliament, deserve thorough study to inform our discussion at the next meeting.
It was noted from the moderator's reports of the two most recent annual appraisals, that although no minutes of the decision were on record, CCMJ had evidently "placed its constitution on hold" and moved from the earlier model of a formal organisation, being an "unincorporated association", to what Peter described in his most recent Moderator's Report as a "mutual chaplaincy" model. It was felt that the way CCMJ had been working in practice was unsustainable, in that too much depended on one person's efforts, currently without sufficient collective support. Simon suggested that, going forward, CCMJ could be interpreted as a co-chaplaincy of all those interested in monetary justice.
All agreed on the vital importance of the work Peter Challen does in publishing Matters in the Air and hosting the London Open Global Table (LGOT), and we hope that he will long continue in this work. However we were concerned that the current version of the description CCMJ at the foot of the notes he had supplied, which appear on Matters in the Air, pre-empt the work that this group would be doing in appraising the role of different organisations who contribute to CCMJ as a council, and would wish to advise on how such wording would in future be phrased. In addition it was agreed that as a group we should contribute regular reports to be included in Matters in the Air, which would keep CCMJ and monetary justice on the agenda.
7.1. Constitutional Roles: It was noted that the current constitution of CCMJ requires a "chairman, a vice chairman, a secretary and a treasurer. The officers will form the Executive of the Council and shall have the right to co-opt such persons as they deem necessary for the fulfilment of its work". It was also noted that the current constitution states that the purpose of the AGM shall be: "to elect officers for the coming year, receive reports from retiring officers, and attend to any matters brought to the meeting for consideration. Financial accounts for the previous year shall be presented to the meeting, but shall be audited before being approved by the Council". Those last serving in those positions had resigned prior to the 2013/14 appraisal, leaving one individual in post, who then evolved the idea of "chaplaincy" to describe his way of working.
7.2. Formation of this Group: All agreed in light of the above – and that putting the constitution on hold had not been a final decision, but could be reversed by a decision made at a future Annual Appraisal – that that we form ourselves into a collective to continue as a "CCMJ refreshment, review and archiving working group". Much work would be needed on developing the website, which in addition to making it more accessible to members and associates would include archiving earlier documents – John suggested recording the "history of CCMJ – the first fifty years", as well as sending out regular progress reports.
7.3. Roles of Group Members: It was recognised that detailed roles of members of this group would need to be defined to cover the necessary tasks, and it was agreed that Peter also be invited to define his job description as a member of the CCMJ collective who will carry out his vital outreach work as moderator of the Global Table. See draft roles added to the foot of these notes.
The need for CCMJ to continue as a faith witness in the field of monetary justice was affirmed, and it would be the main task of this group to reappraise and define our aims. As a foundational principle it was recognised by many that the transformation of capitalism is not the only issue that is needed to transform the planet, but that this organisation needs to focus on the issue of money, and develop ways of propagating its message more effectively. Gian asserted that CCMJ should transition with careful thought towards a learning organisation characterised by objectivity, empiricism, historical knowledge and non-partisanship.
9.1. Financial Report: It was noted from the Moderator's Report that £78.41 was available in the current account of CCMJ, since the resignation of the Treasurer being managed by Peter Challen. The webmaster was encouraged to invoice for her expenses, and it was also agreed that a formal request should be made to Peter for the list of members and associates so that minutes of this meeting could be sent to them, with a request to renew subscriptions or donations.
9.2. Proposed Donation: Peter had mentioned in his Moderator's Appraisal the possibility of an £250 donation if CCMJ remains an open, voluntary funded chaplaincy model. It would not be available for a formal organisation. It was unclear whether decisions made at this meeting would make CCMJ ineligible to receive these funds, and Simon offered to seek clarification on this.
10.1 – External Events that some of us would try to attend include: Monday 16th May 2016: Fixing Finance with Tony Greenham at The Great Room, The RSA, 8 John Adam St, London WC2N 6EZ, and also Saturday 21st May 2016: a Labour Party State of the Economy conference: organised by Momentum at Imperial College, London, SW7 2AZ, featuring Ha-Joon Chang, Richard Murphy, Anastasia Nesvetailova, Jonathon Portes, Adrienne Roberts, Anneliese Dodds MEP.
10.2 – CCMJ Meetings, John's idea of several meetings a year in the House of Commons, focusing on the topics of Christian, Council, Monetary, Justice, as well as regional meetings were met with approval. However, we would need to prioritise work towards organising a formal AGM for CCMJ, which according to its constitution is normally held in the Autumn.
10.3 – CCMJ Core Group – It was also agreed that this group would meet on the first Wednesday of each month, at Friends House at 4pm, the next meeting being 1st June 2016. Given that it was unlikely that Peter would not be able to make a 4pm meeting on Wednesdays, it was also agreed that in preparation for the next meeting of this group, Simon would seek a meeting with Peter Challen at the Global Table on 18th May 2016 to go over the issues arising from this meeting.
The role of a chair seems to be to facilitate the smooth, effective and efficient running of the organisation. This, for example, includes ensuring that meetings are properly called, that agenda items are requested, and that actions are followed through, reported, and reviewed. An important aspect of the role of chair is not only to liaise with active members of the organisation, but also to try and identify gaps, omissions and delays, whilst also being open to opportunities that arise. Overall, the chair's role is to ensure that hierarchy, secretly, and power inequalities do not grow, become embedded, or operate. Finally, such a facilitating chair needs to recognise that she or he has to be regularly replaced so that those embedded hierarchies are avoided.
To understudy as meeting chair if required. In addition, to focus on making knowledge available, both of publications past and present which are relevant to our task, arranging for books and papers to be reviewed and referenced, and making our own messages available to others in appropriate formats, in order to influence debate and propagation of good practice in all areas of monetary justice, including mitigation, the promotion of alternatives, as well as fundamental political reform.
Taking minutes at meetings if required, and/or overseeing them before circulation to the committee. Setting of meeting agenda in consultation with the committee. Dealing with external communications, in transparency with others on the committee, including reports for publication on the Global Table's "Matters in the Air" updates. In addition, advising on monetary and economic theory, and assisting with appropriate networking, especially amongst academia.
1. To ensure that the Council meets its financial obligations as Officers and complies with requirements of all applicable laws in managing its finances.
2. To maintain financial records and prepare monthly financial reports for the Officers. The reports must include any cash collected and spent during the period.
3. To prepare Annual Report and Accounts for audit in accordance with the requirements of all relevant laws or regulations.

« Library « Poetry « The Odyssey « Allusion
Allusion in The Odyssey
Homer alludes multiple times to characters and events from his other epic, The Iliad. Chronologically, The Odyssey takes place after The Iliad since Odysseus is on his return trip from the Trojan War. Allusions are made to connect the two epics together.
Allusion Examples in The Odyssey:
Book IV
"and mimicked all our wives..." See in text (Book IV)
Menelaus attempts to explain away this act of treachery as the gods' will, but Helen's measured and deliberate actions in this scene seem to suggest that she's trying to lead the Trojans to their hiding place. An alternate reading would be that she's trying to draw the Greeks out to ambush the Trojans, but this seems unlikely.

"that valiant warrior Achilles..." See in text (Book IV)
In The Iliad, Achilles was killed by Paris, Prince of Troy, who shot an arrow at Achilles' heel. According to legend, Achilles' heel was said to be his only weakness, the one part of his body that wasn't dipped into the River Styx, whose waters made him invulnerable. Homer alludes to Achilles' death to establish the timeline of events leading to this marriage.
"olive-wood handle..." See in text (Book V)
Homer's specific mention of olive wood is an allusion, or reference, to the myth of Hermes' slaying of Argus, who was protecting the heifer lo while she was chained to an olive tree. Homer's consistent mention of olive wood is a symbol of hope and salvation throughout Odysseus's journey.
Evan, Owl Eyes Staff
Book X
"Aeaean island..." See in text (Book X)
Aeaea (also, Aiaia) is the island of Colchis, the home of King Aietes and where Jason and the Argonauts found the Golden Fleece, so Homer is making a clear connection between Odysseus's journey and the earlier Argonauts' journey.
Stephen Holliday
Book XI
"in my own ship from Scyros..." See in text (Book XI)
Scyros is an island in the southern Aegean Sea where Achilles' son was being raised. When Achilles was killed, Odysseus went to Scyros and took Neoptolemos to Troy, where he became a respected warrior in his own right. Achilles' death happened in the middle of the war, meaning Odysseus would've had to leave and return to bring his son to Troy.
Book XXI
"had a handle of ivory..." See in text (Book XXI)
Homer includes a description of the key as a way of alluding to the status of the storeroom's contents. Since it is made of bronze and ivory, precious materials, the kinds of items within the storeroom are likely valuable as well.
Book XXII
"Heaven's doom..." See in text (Book XXII)
It's very important to Odysseus that the suitors' destruction be seen as an act of the gods ("Heaven's doom") rather than an act of a man. Odysseus, Telemachus, and the other two must be seen as merely the instruments of divine justice, not as murderers bent on private revenge.
