Gravimetric analysis in fluids requires less skill and equipment than microscopic particle counting. Once the specification has been established by weight, the gravimetric method provides a simple, inexpensive and highly reproducible routine control measure. For Particle Contamination in Petroleum Products (D2274) and Aviation Fuels (D2276) the ASTM recommends a gravimetric and color rating technique.
Gravimetric analysis involves filtering a contaminated sample through a control filter and a sample filter. In this method, you place two preweighed filters, one on top of the other, in a single filter holder then filter a sample. Particulate contaminants will be retained entirely by the top test filter. However, both filters are subjected to identical alterations in tare weight as a result of moisture loss or gain, sample adsorption or desorption, and other environmental factors. Any change in weight of the bottom ("control") filter is then applied as a correction to the weight of contaminant. The contaminant weight is determined by reweighing the test filter and subtracting its original tare weight. Results accurate to 0.1 mg are routinely attained using this method.
The simplest gravimetric analyses use matched weight cassettes. Each cassette contains two Merck filters that are matched in tare weight to 0.1 mg. These cassettes are factory-assembled so that preweighing each membrane in the field before filtering the sample is unnecessary. After sampling, the weight of the contaminant is determined simply as the difference in weight between the two membranes.
The first three steps may be omitted when testing samples from air and other gases, water and wholly volatile solvents. All steps must be followed with viscous liquids such as paints, hydraulic oil, and turbine fuels.
Insert the aerosol adapter into stopper on the vacuum flask.
Placing aerosol adapter into rubber stopper, hose end down.
Remove plugs from cassette and mount the cassette, filter side up, on the aerosol adapter.
Cassette containing sample is fitted to Luer slip of adapter, and stopper is fitted into filter flask (inlet plug removed).
Apply vacuum and introduce membrane-filtered solvent through the top opening using a solvent dispenser. Release vacuum.
Open the cassette and transfer filters into covered glass petri dishes.
Loosen the lids of the glass petri dishes and place in an oven at 90 °C for 30 minutes.
Remove the dishes from the oven. With lids ajar, allow the filter to cool and equilibrate to ambient conditions for at least 15 minutes.
Introducing flushing solvent through top opening of cassette using solvent filtering dispenser.
The procedure for calculating the results of your gravimetric analysis samples depends on the filter method used during sample collection.
Reweigh both filters and record the weights.
Subtract the weight of the control filter from the weight of the test filter. The test filter will normally be heavier than the control filter. Negative results should be recorded as "zero" contamination.
Reweigh the filters and record the final weights.
Subtract the initial weight from the final weight of each test filter.
Determine the loss or gain in tare weight of the control filter by appropriate subtraction. A weight increase greater than 0.5 mg in the control filter indicates inadequate flushing of residual test fluid from the filter. The test should be rerun.
Apply the control filter weight change as a correction factor to the test result.
The inorganic fraction of the particle weight is easily determined by ashing the filter. This procedure can be used with filters made of mixed cellulose esters or other ashable material.
Clean and ignite a small porcelain crucible.
Place in a muffle furnace at 750°C for 20 minutes.
Allow the crucible to cool in a desiccator and weigh it to the nearest 0.05 mg.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the crucible has constant weight.
Place the filter containing the contaminant residue in the crucible. Wet it with ethanol and carefully ignite the filter.
Cover the crucible and place it in the muffle furnace at 750°C for 20 minutes.


This is an introductory book suitable for advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate study. Tensor analysis is covered adequately, along with affine and Riemannian spaces, the gravitational equations in free space, the Schwarzschild and Kerr solutions (static and rotating black holes), descriptive astronomy, standard cosmological models, and several unified field theories, including Weyl's 1918 theory.
Although the presentation of tensor calculus is relatively elementary and in the old style (and there's not much on special relativity), in my opinion this is the best book on introductory general relativity available. In fact, it's my favorite physics text, and I have learned more from it than just about any other book on the subject. However, it desperately needs to be updated. So many discoveries have been made since the 1975 edition came out that it really looks dated (the first edition appeared in 1965, and it's worse), although the same criticism can be made to a lesser extent about Misner-Thorne-Wheeler's Gravitation (1973 edition).
The book is extremely easy to read, and the subjects are presented in a logical sequence, culminating with the usual cosmological applications. There are relatively few exercises and problems, but the book is more a self-study resource than a textbook, anyway. While the consequences of Kerr black holes are covered adequately for an introductory text, the book predates topics such as Hawking radiation, the entropy of black holes, and the cosmic microwave background.
The last chapter is entitled Electromagnetism and General Relativity, but the authors pretty much avoid promoting the topic as unified field theory. The field of a charged mass point is treated, along with the so-called "already unified" theory of Rainer, Misner and Wheeler. The book's treatment of this theory is both interesting and comprehensible; if you've ever read any of these authors' more advanced books (or tried to), you'll appreciate this.
Interestingly, Adler et al. cannot hide a certain fondness (if that's the right word) for Weyl's 1918 theory ("a suggestive formalism that may still have the germs of a future fruitful theory"), although only 17 pages are devoted to it. The treatment is fairly elementary, but the gist of what Weyl was attempting to do is clear. Since I talk about the theory in great detail elsewhere on this site, I won't go into it any further here.
I've seen this book advertised at Amazon, but the price is rather steep, in my opinion. eBay occasionally auctions the book at reasonable prices. If you can find one in good condition, it's a worthwhile acquisition.
By the way, Dover offers a great little reprint of a book entitled The Principle of Relativity, which is a collection of eleven old (very old!) papers on general relativity by Einstein and others, including Weyl's original 1918 paper describing his gauge-invariant unification of electromagnetism and gravitation.
As it is unlikely that the Adler-Bazin-Schiffer book will ever be updated, I am now recommending Lewis H. Ryder's text, also titled Introduction to General Relativity (Cambridge University Press, 2009). It is written at about the same mathematical level as the Adler book (beginning graduate), but includes treatments of many more recent developments and advancements in general relativity. As of 26 June 2010, the book was available from Amazon.com for about $45. I highly recommend it.


I am a smaller guy at 160-165 without gear coming from a 2006 CRF250x with the standard mods (air box, jetting, pipe, wire) and I ride woods and do the D36 hare scrambles as a C rider. Just road Argyll on the new bike and I know I need to get use to it but it felt like a handful and couldn't imagine having to man handle that thing for 2 hours during a race. It was lots of power with just a little throttle turn and didn't like the lugging my old bike was very forgiving with. I had a rekluse on my 250x and until I figure this new bike out not sure where to go. I would give up top end in a second as high speed is not my riding style if that come into play. Any suggestions from the hare scramble/woods guys on that bike (specifically 2017 as I know they have don't lots of changes to it from previous years).
I had a 17 FX350 with a Rekluse Core EXP 3.0 . Don't bother with a flywheel weight. Have you used the map switch with traction control enabled? It softens up the bottom end hit. Try that out first. The other thing is to swap the 14 tooth front out with a 13T. Lastly try a G2 throttle setup with the mildest cam.
I have tried the 17 250 xcf because that is what we got for my son. Riding his bike is what really got me second guessing my choice but I think with seat time and the Rekluse I ordered and should have on this weekend I will be fine. I did not try the traction control at the track but will do that next time out. Unfortunately we are in red sticker season not many areas other than tracks to get much single track seat time without driving 4 hours (tree hugging state of CA). It is a bit much going from 27-58hp, carb to fuel injection, mechanical clutch to a hydraulic clutch, those things give it such instant impact and punch it is unreal when coming from an older bike.
I feel you. 155 lbs here and I chose to ride a 350 SXF.
Ive tried every possible combination on my 2013 350 and it helped me prepare to setup my 2017.
Basically, the two maps are a bit of an illusion and misunderstood. Even if you want to go easier on the power, Map-2 is the best. That's because it's more direct and feels telepathic, not more powerful.
The slower throttle cam is a good match for Map-2 and gives you a wider range of throttle adaptability. However, you should still try the quicker cam on less challenging courses where you can ride faster, just to help you mentally tame the beast.
If you want to choke it a bit, you can use one or two sand filter bags on top of your filter. They're cheap enough to experiment.
The topic of final drive is a iffy one that only comes down to personal preference from a truckload of experimentation. That could be costly.
Personally, I like a higher ratio so that I can stay in a gear longer and keep it revving in the range of 50% to 75%; with provisions for topping it out when needed. So I use a -1 tooth on the rear.
Others prefer the opposite, so they can hit the powerband quicklier and shift more often. Which is what I like on my superbike.
I put a 13 tooth front on and it helped flaming out and I put the idle up a bit.
Still in love with it. Would love a rekluse one day.
Inlumo funny you mention map2 my son actually said his 250 felt better and less bog on the low end in map2. In my mind the last thing I needed was more power so I didn't try it and wished I had after talking with him on the ride home. I will try just the Rekluse first before doing anything else as it really does change woods riding and I wanted that no matter what. I was just trying to delay spending more money after buying the bike. The 250 came with the black cam installed and the 350 had the grey (less aggressive) so I am not sure how much more the G2 will help but I will keep that in mind.
Rdway60 curious to see what you think of the flywheel, that will be my last attempt if needed as it appears you need to epoxy that on and there is no turning back after that. Hoping my next purchase for the 350 will be a steering stabilizer before our first race, got use to that on the old bike and hoping to not spend much more on getting it ready before Sept. 30th.
The 13T helps but it won't give you what you are looking for. I did not like map 2 with the black throttle cam. To me it made it run like an old XR. I have not tried the Rekluse but many have recommend it. Please update us after you install it and test it out. I am curious as to your impression as I feel the same as you do in that you can't lug the bike and ride it a gear high.
I will be playing with the Vortex ECU next to see how I can adjust the power delivery.
You went from the slowest "real" dirt bike to a 60hp agessive mx bike with a 18" rear wheel, a 350cc mx bike with 450cc power and say high speed riding is not your thing? Didn't you read anything about the bike before you bought it?
Sell it or trade it for a wr/yz250fx or a uncorked 250EXC with EU maping. They all make atleast 30% more power than your honda and is way easier to ride than your XC-F. If you still feel you want more cc get a 350EXC and make it EU spec, it will make around 45rwhp and has a very smooth linear powerband, great bottom torque.
Sherco 300sef-r and beta 350/390 are also great options.
Actually thanks for your post Robt85, I forgot to come back on and let people know what I found/decided. I installed that Rekluse and it completely changed the bike, it makes it much easier to ride. You can stay down a gear and rev it out, middle gear and ride moderate, or up a gear and bog it so no little twists of the throttle will want to launch the bike from your hands. All this while taking any kind of bog or flame out problems out of the equation. Just taking off from a stop it smooths the bike out rather than applying so much power with when that clutch engages. I am not digging on the bike and I am sure time would have helped but for my riding style that Rekluse was beyond worth the money. The new style with Hydraulic clutch makes it very easy to adjust as well. For me using one bike for many things racing, trail riding with my small kids, or hitting a track occasionally this is an awesome bike. For those of you that have ever used a Left Hand Rear Brake the new model Rekluse one is also much better than their old one.
Just ride it man you will get used to it. I ride woods only and tight tree trails and I mean tight on a 17 450sxf. I changed the gearing and went up 2 teeth in the rear. You will end up loving it I bet you .
I have a 2016 and a few other guys in the area have 350xcfs. Where are at if you race D36. Have you tried Southbayriders.com Lots of us on that site and D36 racers. Try the 13T front, turn up idle and get some seat time. I can show you my steering damper/bark buster setup. I can get a picture when im home from work.
We will be at the D36 race this weekend MMX. Leaving tomorrow morning at 6am, one of my younger two race the 10am race.


Healthcare market is seeing a sharp growth in many sectors, one of which is radiology (X-rays, MRI, CT-Scans, Ultrasound, Mammography and Dexa are covered in the radiology market). With the emerging trends and technology, it is interesting to see the tremendous scope that this sector has to offer. Radiology is used in the context of diagnosis, the first step towards treatment and general healthcare. With a noticeable shift surfacing in the world, from prescriptive to preventive health care, access to quality healthcare is gathering greater importance compared to earlier decades. A study was done to analyse the Delhi Radiology market by RedSeer.
A market overview was done by our team and it was determined that the Radiology market of Delhi amounts to 700+ crores and is expected to grow at CAGR of 12%. It was found that the key growth drivers of the radiology market are the increasing affordability among patients, the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis and the increase in lifestyle disorders. Our team made field visits and conducted interviews with renowned individuals from the industry and mapped the split of modalities in the radiology market. It was seen that MRI and CT Scan account for 65% of the Delhi radiology market. The rest is covered by sonography, X-ray, Dexa and Mammo. On a broader level, it was seen that there are only 109 MRI machines in Delhi out of which 61 are with stand-alone centres and the rest were present in government and private hospitals. Most of the stand-alone centres had a 1.5 Tesla machine. In case of CT scan machines, it was found that there are 124 CT Scans in Delhi out of which 54 are in stand-alone centres and most of these stand-alone centres use 64 Slice machines. Since the location of the centre is an important criterion for setting up a lab, our team contacted multiple centres and experts and it was found that the average tests in a month per MRI machine are 516, out of which South Delhi had the highest machine utilization. Our analysis showed that Orthopaedics and Oncology accounted for 52% of the overall market.
After contacting a few doctors, it was found that the reporting standards and higher referral fee by labs are the key decision-making criteria for doctors to refer a lab. A high referral fee is paid to doctors referring a good number of patients and CME programs and gifts are most prevalent engagement activity for doctors. Our research said that the typical referral fee for influential specialists is in the range of 30- 40% of rack rate out of which SRL pays the highest referral fee in the market with 25-40% of rack rate. Doctors are willing to switch diagnostic service providers for a high referral fee, better reporting standards and better brand. Our team also performed a profile analysis for a few players to determine the revenue, function and policies of that centre. Customer behaviour analysis was performed post profile analysis and it implied that patients prefer labs referred by doctors but have brand and price of the test as key lab selection criteria. More than 90% of patients are willing to travel to a good lab referred by their doctor and only 10-15% of patients are influenced by the websites of the radiology labs.
The overall market overview obtained from the above analysis gave a better idea of the radiology market status in Delhi. The IRR for the client's lab was found to be ~17% on a capex of ~10 crore and the IRR for MRI machine was found at ~19% on a capex of 5 cr. and CT Scan machine at ~12% on a capex of 3.5 cr. The operating model and market overview were therefore determined by the team.

Castlepalooza – Friday
Words: justin mcdaid | Photography: tara thomas
Article Published: August 9, 2017
The late opening; the bag searches and resultant lengthy queues to get in; the alcohol policy and pricing; being greeted by uniformed gardaí with muzzled sniffer dogs on entry into the arena proper – first impressions are everything, and these combos aren't the ideal welcome to a carefree weekend in the woods.
It's the small details that make a festival like this – the feeling that the organisers want to make something memorable and creative. It's what makes Knockanstockan such a great festival, what made BARE In The Woods such a short-lived joy, and the reason Body & Soul keeps bringing back the punters. It has to be said, even though a music festival is primarily about the music, it's a pain to come to a blanket booze ban after being spoiled with the latter festival's freeflow policy, and then be charged up to €60 for a crate of beer that's destined to become tent beer i.e. warm piss.
Small gripes, easily remedied; certainly some of the things that Castlepalooza should consider given the noticeably modest crowds at this year's event. And it's a shame it isn't as well-represented as previous years, because the home-grown music on display over three days in Tullamore really does deserve to be seen and heard by so many more. It might even have been just about enough to offset all the moaning.
Floor Staff
The aforementioned queuing shambles means missing Grand, and it does no favours for Floor Staff aka Anthony Donnelly either, whose main stage set is sparsely populated as folk get their campsites set up and chill out after the journey to the site. Devoid of bodies to soak up some atmospherics, a solo turn from Donnelly feels a bit staid, while the castle's alarm starts to blare accompaniment when the band re-emerges. It eventually abates to allow them to round off the set with one in the Arcade Fire mould, a dance-y finale delivered with aplomb – it's just unfortunate that circumstances aren't in their favour for much of this slot.
"It's cool to be a virgin till marriage" reads the sticker emblazoned over one of Thumper's guitars. It's a statement of a different hue to Woodie Guthrie's "This Machine Kills Fascists" sticker, and not as proactive, but you have to stand up for what you believe in so fair play, lads. A lone guitarist emerges to lay down a steady drone before the rest join, delivering a hot mess of three-way vocals that recalls At The Drive-In. Things solidify a bit by the second tune, particularly the riff-sparring from the guitarists, setting a template of feedback-laden, thrashy power pop.
Certain points feel like Nirvana by way of The Presidents Of The United States of America, elsewhere spacey guitars bring more of an early Super Furry Animals flavour, and those three lazy comparisons sum up this set – Thumper inject the fun straight into the festival from the off. At one point some lad in the crowd runs to the front barrier, faces the audience and holds a lighter in the air. Simultaneously, an unrelated punter careens in and flings a frisbee askance into the hinterlands of the audience. And with this, it feels like Castlepalooza has officially kicked off. Thumper also benefit from the best thing that can happen to a band at an outdoor gig…dusk falling over your set.
The band seem at home up on the stage and it's an assured performance, from scratchy, stuttery instrumental sections where all three guitars provide the composite parts, to the more straight-ahead punk blitzes. The vocal harmonies are often rough'n'ready, but they're from the gut. This isn't about Beach Boys perfection though – when they pull the final song apart by the threads that much is clear. As it comes to a close, they gather the audience down to the front of the stage and the singer comes down to the barriers to roar into the crowd – it's a suitably raucous sign-off to a cracking set.
Bitch Falcon
Thumper whetted the appetite for some heavy-duty guitar music, so the double-whammy of the weekend is sealed when Bitch Falcon follow them on the main stage. The trio's set is a bittersweet event, in a way, as bassist Naomi Macleod is set to leave the band. This is her final show, and it gives things an extra edge – the feeling that this one should mean just a little bit more. It's far from sentimental though. Maudlin send-offs are just not Bitch Falcon's style; they're here to lay siege to Charleville Castle.
"You all look fresh as fucking daisies" Mcleod tells the crowd…early days yet. Syncope gets things off in full-throttle fashion, and On Repeat is a heavy rocker with some serious fretwork from guitarist Lizzie Fitzpatrick, a flurry of physical activity in contrast to the more rooted presence of Mcleod stage right. At times it seems the music just takes over and Fitzpatrick throws herself centre stage towards the bassist, carving out the licks with robotic movements in time with her rhythm section.
They have an interesting counterpoint, one a whirlwind of nervous energy and the other stoic calm – it will be interesting to see how they move forward with their new bass player, but for now it's the last hurrah for this incarnation of Bitch Falcon, and they know it, as Fitzpatrick and Mcleod converge around Nigel Kenny's drumkit during the final instrumental onslaught. Bitch Falcon tore it up, simple as that, and Mcleod's parting request on her final set is one we'll have no difficulty in fulfilling:"Please, please support this band forever."
After three in a row on Day 1 main stage fatigue starts to set in, so much of Wild Beasts' headline set is interspersed with trips to the Courtyard Stage, the small enclosed dance arena tucked away around the side of the castle. For many though, Wild Beasts signal the true start of the festival, with the majority of the crowd now settled in for a solidly danceable set. Once it ends, a large contingent make a break for the Courtyard Stage to join an uncomfortable queue that goes nowhere fast – capacity in the yard is limited so once the main stage acts are finished, unless you're ahead of the game, that's your lot. It's almost as if they hadn't envisioned that people would want to dance past 1am. Ah well, that's opening night for you – all hopped up and nowhere to go.

Q: arima_model.plot_predict() shows different results than arima_model.fitted_values I am trying to construct the arima model.
When I write
arima_fit.plot_predict()
plt.show()

I get this result which is quite good.
But. When I try to calculate the RMSE with actual df['y'] values and arima_fit.fitted_values I get values around 0. Like 0.04 ,-0.1 etc
The same with the arima_fit.predict() values.
How can I solve this?

A: Update: I found an answer. The d component of arima means the differencing, if to set it to 1 it will give you a detrended value.
ARIMA() gives you the values without trend and seasonality added. Indeed if to detract the seasonality and trend from the original series we will get the next picture. Or as an alternative we can use the SArima model which takes into account also the seasonality. (Indeed Seasonal Arima).
Interesting fact.. The RMSE of the detrended and deseasonalized with ARIMA (d=1) is lower than either arima (d=0) and sarima models

In separate cases, two individuals were injured while on vacation outside of Canada.  Van Breda suffered catastrophic injuries on a beach in Cuba, and Charron died while scuba diving there. Actions were brought in Ontario against a number of parties, including Club Resorts Ltd., a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, that managed the two hotels where the accidents occurred.

Club Resorts sought to block those proceedings, arguing that:

 the Ontario courts lacked jurisdiction, and, in the alternative,
 a Cuban court would be a more appropriate forum on the basis of the doctrine of forum non conveniens.

In both cases, the judges at first instance held that Ontario courts did have jurisdiction, and that an Ontario court was the more appropriate forum. The two cases were heard together by the Ontario Court of Appeal, where the appeals were both dismissed. Both were subsequently appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada.

At the Supreme Court of Canada

In a 7-0 ruling, both appeals were dismissed.

Lebel J. observed that the case concerned the elaboration of the real and substantial connection test as an appropriate common law conflicts rule for the assumption of jurisdiction.  In determining whether a court can assume jurisdiction over a certain claim, the preferred approach in Canada has been to rely on a set of specific factors which are given presumptive effect, as opposed to a regime based on an exercise of almost pure and individualized judicial discretion.

Jurisdiction must be established primarily on the basis of objective factors that connect the legal situation or the subject matter of the litigation with the forum. In a case concerning a tort, the following factors are presumptive connecting factors that, prima facie, entitle a court to assume jurisdiction over a dispute:

 the defendant is domiciled or resident in the province;
 the defendant carries on business in the province;
 the tort was committed in the province; and
 a contract connected with the dispute was made in the province.

The list above is not an exhaustive one. In identifying new presumptive factors, a court should look to connections that give rise to a relationship with the forum that is similar in nature to the ones which result from the listed factors.  Relevant considerations include:

 Similarity of the connecting factor with the recognized presumptive connecting factors;
 Treatment of the connecting factor in the case law;
 Treatment of the connecting factor in statute law; and
 Treatment of the connecting factor in the private international law of other legal systems with a shared commitment to order, fairness and comity.

A clear distinction must be drawn between the existence and the exercise of jurisdiction.  Once jurisdiction is established, if the defendant does not raise further objections, the litigation proceeds before the court of the forum.  The court cannot decline to exercise its jurisdiction unless the defendant invokes forum non conveniens.  The decision to raise this doctrine rests with the parties, not with the court seized of the claim.  If a defendant raises an issue of forum non conveniens, the burden is on him or her to show why the court should decline to exercise its jurisdiction and displace the forum chosen by the plaintiff. Ultimately, the decision falls within the reasoned discretion of the trial court.  This exercise of discretion will be entitled to deference from higher courts, absent an error of law or a clear and serious error in the determination of relevant facts which takes place at an interlocutory or preliminary stage.

Application to the appeals at hand

In the Van Breda case:

 a contract was entered into in Ontario
 Club Resorts failed to rebut the resulting presumption of jurisdiction
 Club Resorts failed to show that a Cuban court would clearly be a more appropriate forum
 issues related to the fairness to the parties and to the efficient disposition of the claim must be considered, as a trial held in Cuba would present serious challenges to the parties.

Therefore, the Ontario court was the more appropriate venue.

In the Charron case:

 Club Resorts was carrying on a business in Ontario
 its activities in Ontario went well beyond promoting a brand and advertising
 it benefitted from the physical presence of an office in Ontario
 Club Resorts failed to rebut the resulting presumption of jurisdiction
 Club Resorts failed to show that a Cuban court would clearly be a more appropriate forum

Therefore, considerations of fairness to the parties weighed heavily in favour of the plaintiffs.

Aftermath

Van Breda builds upon the jurisprudence the SCC has established in this matter, which includes the previous rulings issued in:

 Morguard Investments Ltd. v. De Savoye
 Hunt v. T&N plc and
 Beals v. Saldanha

It also replaces a previous attempt by the Ontario Court of Appeal to standardize the jurisprudence in this area in Muscutt v. Courcelles.

Van Breda was immediately applied to two other judgments handed down by the SCC on the same day, which were concerned with libel:

 Éditions Écosociété Inc. v. Banro Corp., 2012 SCC 18
 Breeden v. Black, 2012 SCC 19

In both of these cases, the Ontario court was determined to be the most appropriate forum as well. This has raised the concern that the incidence of libel tourism to Canadian courts may increase as a result. In addition, the question of which substantive law should be applied in multijurisdictional claims has been left unresolved.

The determination of whether an entity is carrying on a business in a Canadian jurisdiction is also impacted, as the SCC expressed a preference for a physical presence, as opposed to a virtual presence. This may need to be explored further in future cases.

Van Breda also confirms that foreign companies that reside, conduct business or enter into agreements in a Canadian province will be subject to its jurisdiction, unless they can rebut the presumption of a real and substantial connection to the Canadian jurisdiction, or include exclusive forum or arbitration clauses in their contracts.

Designed by passionate conservationists Anjali and Jaisal Singh – who are no slouches at creating luxury tented camps – The Serai is an ode to peace, open space and old-fashioned elegance. The 21 tented suites, set deep in the tranquil Thar desert but just an hour from Jaisalmer, are an impossibly romantic set-up, and perfect for honeymooners. Each white canvas tent is raised on honeyed sandstone, with a terrace lounge, sitting room with writing desk, air-con bedroom and a stylish, double-sink bathroom. Six have private candlelit plunge pools, and there's also a Royal Tented Suite with its own pool, spa, lounge and dining tents, set in an exclusive, walled-off compound.
Loving care has been taken over every detail, most harking back to the Victorian days of the Raj: beside your bed you'll find monogrammed notepaper and brass-plated service buttons ('Butler, 'Housekeeping' and 'Security'), alongside modern novels rebound in classic vellum and glass-stoppered bottles filled with KAMA toiletries. Raised above the tents and silver scrub is an infinity swimming pool, circled by pagoda-shaded loungers. Behind, a huge pavilion holds a leather-and-tartan lounge, breezy reception and tasteful dining room. To the left, within a walled garden, sits a 4-tent Sujan spa created by Raison d'Etre (whose products are blended from Indian plants and spices), and beyond, an organic garden for the herbs, salad and vegetables in the delicious cordon bleu menu. The only sounds are trickling water, calls of kookaburra and wild peacocks, and the whispering wind.
The Serai has 14 Tented Suites, 6 Luxury Suites and 1 Royal Tented Suite - all are the same size. Each is pitched on a base of honey-coloured 'Jaisalmer' sandstone, with Victorian-safari-style furnishings worthy of a period film set. The tented and luxury suites run left and right, in two lines of 10, down to the walled-off Royal Suite at the bottom.
The cream canvas tents are filled with honeyed light and dressed with woven jute or tartan-weave mats, brass lanterns, leather bins, picnic hampers (stocked with cool drinks and water), decorative wooden bowls and little stone camels - all carefully selected and arranged by Anjali herself.
Super-kingsize beds sit on stone platforms, with deliciously soft linen, throws hand-woven in Jaisalmer, plump pillows and sand-coloured cushions. Effective air-con is provided by tall, freestanding units and a screened-off sitting and writing area at the front opens onto your bolstered and mattressed veranda. Shower bathrooms are earthy ochre-stone with fluffy white towels, natural toiletries in antique bottles and clay pots for laundry. If we were being picky, our waffle-weave dressing gowns were over-starched and thus a little scratchy.
The Luxury Suites, where we stayed, have a walled courtyard with a blue-tiled plunge pool (heated by request and candlelit at night), so if you're on your honeymoon or a special romantic break, we'd say it's well worth upgrading. The Royal Tented Suite has a small swimming pool, and private spa, dining and lounge tents, all enclosed in a sandy courtyard.
The indoor dining room shares the main pavilion tent with the entrance/reception, sitting room and bar. Light and roomy, its has chunky, honey-stone walls with inset candle alcoves for romantic lighting. Little teak tables sport graceful white crockery and tablecloths beside wicker-work chairs.
Food is beautifully presented and simply delicious. Breakfast can be a fresh healthy continental, full English fry-up or traditional Indian offering that changes daily - I had the Masala omelette, an 'Indian omelette with tomato, chili, onion and coriander', which was lovely. Healthy fresh-pressed juices and aloe vera shooters make you feel only slightly less guilty about the overindulgence.
Lunch is either traditional vegetarian thali or a light European selection of cold soups, salads, pizzas and pastas. The dinner menu is not extensive but perfectly delightful: we dined on mango gazpacho, roast chicken with beetroot puree, then rum and raisin ice cream, and loved every mouthful. A comprehensive drinks menu offers all the cocktails, mixers and liqueurs, wines and champagne, and there are even custom blended tea and post-prandial Cuban cigars!
Alfresco dining is also available, on your own veranda or anywhere else on the estate, just ask. The main pavilion's open-air stone terrace is a big dinner favourite as you're bathed in lamplight under the stars and entertained nightly by the soulful playing of (world-renowned) local musicians. A campfire is lit nightly during the winter season, and a bar can be set up under the stars.
Children are welcome, but they must be well-behaved/not too noisy so as not to disturb the sacred peace of other guests. Extra beds for those between 8 and 12, and baby cots for infants and toddlers (other kids are expected to share their parents' bed or sleep in a separate tent) can be arranged. However, there are no facilities or activities that specifically cater to small people, though they're likely to enjoy the pool, wide open space and plentiful opportunities to watch desert wildlife. Children up to the age of 7 are free if sharing their parents' bed.
Families may prefer to opt for a Luxury Tented Suite as this category has a private walled courtyard plus plunge pool.
Particular choices of dishes (if not found on the a la carte menu) and mealtimes can be catered for with advance notice.
As The Serai is in a wilderness area, parents are advised to be aware of the surroundings and to keep an eye on their children who should not wander around at dusk.
The Serai is about an hour (45km) outside Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, in the Great Thar Desert.
The nearest airport is Jaisalmer (60km), just over an hour's drive from The Serai. You can also fly to Jodhpur (270km), which is served by internal flights from most Indian airports including Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur.
Chandan is the nearest railway station (4km away), but the closest major hub is Jaisalmer (52km away). There are several trains daily from Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Jodhpur and other cities and The Serai can provide transfers from the station.

What should you do such that an RMI server program can accept multiple clients and actually parallelize their execution?
Well first theres nothing you can do explicitly for this. This IS the way it works. Multiple client calls to the same object are NOT queued up but concurrent method invocations on an RMI object are automatically executed in separate threads as necessary. Serial invocations from the same client are processed in the same thread as an optimization.
> respect to mapping remote object invocations to threads. "
It also means that that this method will be executed with the lock acquired for the implementation object (not the stub or skeleton). In this case, even though the invocations from the two clients are executed in separate threads, the execution of the method will indeed be mutually exclusive because of the lock on the implementation object.


Erasmus' Apophthegmata present a great number of famous, pithy, remarkable sayings by famous people from Classical Antiquity. Erasmus based his Latin version of the anecdotes on famous words in Plutarch. He follows the collection of Greek sayings in Plutarch loosely, often more or less in paraphrase, but parts are almost literal translations. In the introduction (and in the notes to the Latin text) the editor makes the case that Erasmus' handling of Plutarch's texts was very much influenced by works of his fellow humanists Traversari and Filelfo.

Scorey "Dior You"
by NO JUMPER on March 22, 2021
Written by Aidan Werder
Last week, Scorey dropped "Dior You" - a catchy, lighthearted love song for the designer generation and a huge score for Polo G's first signee to his new record label, Only Dreamers Achieve (ODA) Records.
In the accompanying Trigg-directed visual that dropped the same day, we fittingly see a Dior-bucket-wearing Scorey treat his leading lady to a designer shopping spree - hitting what looks like all the stores on the shopping district, including the Saint Laurent and Dior stores as promised in the chorus.
The short-and-sweet track is light, catchy, and already feels ready for the radio. Highlighting his versatility (and perhaps building on lessons learned from his label head) Scorey appears to be starting out 2021 on a lighter note, first dropping "Letter to Mom" last month and now "Dior You" - in contrast to some of his popular 2020 tracks like "Moods," "Victim," and "Freddy Kreuger." Equally adept at both styles, fans will surely be in for an engaging, dynamic project when the Scorey album finally drops.
For those late to the party, Scorey is from Syracuse, NY and has been dropping tracks since 2019, but made a huge splash at the end of last year with the instant smash hit, "Moods" - an understated, melodic track with a deceptively catchy chorus that went viral on social media in the fall of 2020 - the star studded video for which is now approaching 7M views on Youtube. Even as "Moods" was blowing up, Scorey remained quiet and out of the spotlight - for a time even disappearing from social media altogether.
Despite the low profile, it seems like fans can't get enough of Scorey - who provides fans with a new version of the lowkey melodic style that has been soaring in popularity in recent times. The comment section of Scorey's video are littered with comments that say some version of "Polo G + Lil Tjay = Scorey" - which is why it makes perfect sense to learn that Scorey signed to Polo G's newly formed ODA Records last year. This style of rap-singing was really made popular in the last few years by the two young stars from Chicago and New York respectively - a style characterized by powerful storytelling, unrelenting bars, and intricate melodies - and is now being carried forward by the rising star from Syracuse.
Scorey's talent is undeniable, and now with the backing of a proven star in Polo G it appears the sky is the limit. Keep your eyes out for this quiet powerhous-in-the-making as he and the newly formed ODA Records run up the score in 2021.

Q: Customized Button How I can make a button like this in WinForms?

It always like this

A: I coded this which is not a complete solution but can help you see it in action and go further to make your own button:
public class RoundButton : Button
{
    GraphicsPath borderPath;
    protected override void OnSizeChanged(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnSizeChanged(e);
        UpdateRegion();
    }
    private void UpdateRegion()
    {
        borderPath = new GraphicsPath();
        borderPath.AddArc(new Rectangle(0, 0, Height, Height), 90, 180);
        borderPath.AddLine(new Point(Height / 2, 0), new Point(Width - Height / 2, 0));
        borderPath.AddArc(new Rectangle(Width - Height, 0, Height, Height), -90, 180);
        borderPath.AddLine(new Point(Width - Height / 2, Height), new Point(Height / 2, Height));
        Region = new Region(borderPath);
    }
    protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pevent)
    {
        pevent.Graphics.Clear(Color.Black);
        Color cl1 = isMouseOver ? Color.FromArgb(100, Color.Yellow) : Color.FromArgb(100, Color.Aqua);
        Color cl2 = isMouseOver ? Color.Yellow : Color.Aqua;
        if (MouseButtons == MouseButtons.Left) cl2 = cl1;
        using (LinearGradientBrush brush = new LinearGradientBrush(ClientRectangle, cl1, cl2, 90))
        {
            pevent.Graphics.FillPath(brush, borderPath);
            pevent.Graphics.ScaleTransform(0.8f, 0.4f);
            pevent.Graphics.TranslateTransform(0.1f * ClientSize.Width, 0.1f * ClientSize.Height, MatrixOrder.Append);
        }
        if(!(MouseButtons == MouseButtons.Left))
            pevent.Graphics.FillPath(new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(100, Color.White)), borderPath);
        pevent.Graphics.ResetTransform();

        pevent.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
        float penSize = MouseButtons == MouseButtons.Left ? 4 : 2.5f;
        using (Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Gray) { Width = penSize })
        {
            pevent.Graphics.DrawPath(pen, borderPath);
        }
        using (StringFormat sf = new StringFormat { LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center, Alignment = StringAlignment.Center })
        {
            Rectangle rect = ClientRectangle;
            if (MouseButtons == MouseButtons.Left) rect.Offset(-1, -1);
            pevent.Graphics.DrawString(Text, Font, new SolidBrush(ForeColor), rect, sf);
        }
    }
    bool isMouseOver;
    protected override void OnMouseEnter(EventArgs e)
    {
         base.OnMouseEnter(e);
         isMouseOver = true;
    }
    protected override void OnMouseLeave(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnMouseLeave(e);
        isMouseOver = false;
    }
}

Here is its look:

If you swap the cl1 and cl2 in the new LinearGradientBrush(...), the button will look different like this:

A: As a workaround (to remove border) you can set Button.FlatStyle to Flat and set Button.FlatAppearance.BorderSize to 0. Also you can modify FlatAppearance.MouseDownBackColor/MouseOverBackColor.

A: You can redraw the contour of the button by affecting its .Region property. Here you have a sample code I wrote some time ago (and have quickly converted from VB.NET right now) showing how to create a button shaped as an ellipse, button2, and as a complex polygon (an X), button1.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;

    namespace WindowsFormsApplication2
    {
        public partial class Form1 : Form
        {
            public Form1()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }

            private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                GraphicsPath pathPolygon = new GraphicsPath(FillMode.Winding);
                GraphicsPath pathEllipse = new GraphicsPath(FillMode.Winding);

                //------ POLYGON (X)
                Point[] points = new Point[12];
                points[0].X = 5;
                points[0].Y = 15;
                points[1].X = 10;
                points[1].Y = 10;
                points[2].X = 18;
                points[2].Y = 18;
                points[3].X = 26;
                points[3].Y = 10;
                points[4].X = 31;
                points[4].Y = 15;
                points[5].X = 23;
                points[5].Y = 23;
                points[6].X = 31;
                points[6].Y = 31;
                points[7].X = 26;
                points[7].Y = 36;
                points[8].X = 18;
                points[8].Y = 28;
                points[9].X = 10;
                points[9].Y = 36;
                points[10].X = 5;
                points[10].Y = 31;
                points[11].X = 13;
                points[11].Y = 23;

                Point maxVals = new Point(31, 36);

                pathPolygon.AddPolygon(points);

                Region region = new Region(pathPolygon);

                button1.BackColor = Color.Red;
                button1.FlatAppearance.BorderSize = 0;
                button1.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat;
                button1.Region = region;
                button1.SetBounds(button1.Location.X, button1.Location.Y, maxVals.X, maxVals.Y);

                Rectangle ellipse = new Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 50);
                maxVals = new Point(100, 50);
                pathEllipse.AddEllipse(ellipse);
                region = new Region(pathEllipse);

                button2.BackColor = Color.Red;
                button2.FlatAppearance.BorderSize = 0;
                button2.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat;
                button2.Region = region;
                button2.SetBounds(button2.Location.X, button2.Location.Y, maxVals.X, maxVals.Y);

            }
        }
    }

As you can see, the ellipse option is much simpler, but also much less flexible (although it might be the best solution for what you are looking for; bear in mind that you can play with the width/height in .SetBounds to "cut the shape"). The polygon seems a bit complicated but is pretty straightforward once you get used to the proceeding: come up with all the points required to draw the contour you want (e.g., for a rectangle, you need 4 points, the 4 vertices) and input them in the code I provide (don't forget to include the maximum X/Y values in maxVals).

It was purely accidental, to tell you the truth. I was working with Professor Trent Massiki at Quinsigamond Community College on extracurricular exercises in writing, and he suggested this subject for Women's History Month. It was completely foreign to me at first since I had only a basic knowledge of Hispanic history, but very quickly throughout the course of my research I grew to sympathize with and understand the girl who was caught in the middle of history, did her best to survive, and was acutely hated for it by her descendants.
In the past year, you have worked on creating a poetry book for children. Can you discuss this process? What differences have you found between writing for children and writing for adults? Do you have a preference?
When my daughter was born two years ago, my tendency to write only for an adult audience naturally shifted, and I was taken by the idea of creating a children's book that teaches colors in an indirect way. I enjoyed the process immensely since I was also the illustrator. (I have a background in fine and digital art.) I think one of the main tasks of writing for children is stimulating the imagination. I have memories of myself reading at a very early age and living through the realms of the story world. When I revisit the same books as an adult, I cannot find the written expressions for the details that I used to imagine, and I think a successful storybook allows children to do just that.
By the way, I think my daughter is my most avid reader as she already has gone through and torn three drafted versions of the book!
What is your favorite childhood story? Is there an author, quote, or passage that has followed you throughout your life?
You got me with this one! Like most folks who wind up expressing themselves in writing, I have been an avid reader since childhood, and the task of choosing a favorite among all the amazing literature that I have read has always been daunting for me. I usually pick my most recent reading and talk about it. Although there is no one particular story that has influenced me the most, there has been one article that I've read that has changed my perspective on writing and critical reading. We had a rather large library of Russian authors at home, and I was around twelve years old when I read a critical essay by Dostoyevsky on another critical essay about one of Pushkin's romantic long poems. I don't remember all the details, but the Dostoyevsky essay that I read was not so much defending the original poem as pointing out the inconsistencies and weaknesses in the original essay, and it did so in an absolutely hilarious manner. What it has revealed to me is that we don't have to be satisfied with the first or classic reading of a text, and that it's okay to disagree with an academic and authoritative article written on a subject matter.
The Worcester Review would like to thank Yulia Issa for contributing to volume XXXV and for participating in the online blog series.

A-level English Literature is a challenging and rewarding course, and the only A-level Arts subject seen as 'facilitating' by Russell Group universities. It encourages students to develop a love of reading and the intellectual confidence to deploy well-honed critical skills when confronted with any text. The specification we follow encourages us to take a historicist approach, comparing thematically-linked texts both diachronically (across a broad sweep of time) and synchronically (within a relatively small segment of time).
We study a range of texts to explore how the presentation of love in literature has shifted over time, from Chaucer to the present day, covering ideas such as romantic love, loss, social conventions, deception, and so on. This is a challenging yet accessible approach to the development of English Literature, one which gives students a real sense of texts as a tapestry of interlinked and contradictory strands. As well as reading extracts from different periods and in different genres to develop reading skills, we study three text in detail: one Shakespeare play, one anthology of poetry, and one or two prose texts, of which one must be written pre-1900.
This is an exciting and current topic, in which we explore some of the key social, political, literary and personal issues of the decades since WW2 as writers have explored them. Again, as well as gaining confidence with a range of extracts, we read in detail three texts – one prose, one poetry and one drama – of which one must be written post-2000. This really is a course that allows students to explore the world that has shaped and continues to shape them.
The extended essay is a comparative critical study of two texts, of which at least one must be pre-1900. Within this, students are free to follow their own interest, choosing themes as diverse as the struggle for identity, the Gothic, representations of gender, or war and conflict.
Final assessment for the A-level consists of two exams (each 40% of the A-level) and an independent critical study (20% of the A-level).
What skills will they develop in particular?
An A-level in English Literature can lead anywhere; it provides students with the tools to evaluate any text critically. Students develop confidence in presenting their ideas and are pushed to extend their thinking in depth and complexity; the exams encourage the ability to make a strong argument, while coursework encourages both depth of analysis and research around the subject.
The specification we follow covers texts from all periods of English literature, pushing students to discover texts and contexts beyond their own experience; it also encourages independence through wider reading beyond the set texts, allowing students to explore their own tastes and interests.

Album Review of Ten Love Songs by Susanne Sundfør.
She's a huge star in her native Norway, but it seems like it's taking the rest of the world a bit longer to catch on to the genius of Susanne Sundfør. Indeed, despite profile-raising guest vocal appearances with the likes of M83, Röyksopp and Kleerup, it's unlikely that many people outside of her homeland will know of her five previous albums of brilliantly off-kilter electro-pop. Whether that will change with the release of her sixth record, Ten Love Songs, is anyone's guess.
Halfway through Susanne Sundfør's sixth album, the listener stumbles across a monolith: a vast, 10-minute edifice made up of sepulchral organ, weeping strings, Abbaeseque chord changes, a lyric in which Sundfør asserts she's barely noticed "the cosmic war raging in the sky" because she's so darned sad about the heartless man who took off her dress, and then – five minutes in – a chamber music section that lasts three and a half minutes. Memorial, then, is fittingly titled: it's lachrymose almost to the point of self-parody, yet utterly magnificent. Sundfør is a bona fide star in her native Norway, No 1 albums and all, and it's completely understandable.
Head here to submit your own review of this album. On paper, Susanne Sundfør's Ten Love Songs is far from beguiling. Conceptually speaking, "love" isn't exactly a topic pop stars have shied away from, even in its most broken and perverse forms. With her subject matter stacked against her, Sundfør manages to craft a record that is musically captivating without being thematically original.
With the release of The Brothel in 2010, Susanne Sundfør enacted a revolution on herself. She started working with Jaga Jazzist's Lars Horntveth and shifted from an existence as a quaint and largely inoffensive singer with an impressive voice, to an artist whose every word and note has gravitas. The foundations changed from basic to expansive and dense.
Though the sounds of Top 40 remain largely stagnant this year, there have been several mold-breaking exceptions in Q1, eschewing the typical pop format for subversion that doesn't sacrifice hooks. Most of them, not shockingly, come from overseas, where producers are still churning out the world's most off-course, exciting melodies. Knowing full well that there's plenty more to come this year, here are the best pop releases of 2015 thus far.

If you are like most RV'ers and use your camping time to bond with family, you may not think about Las Vegas as an ideal destination. The image most people have when they think of Vegas is decidedly adult, including multiple casinos and plentiful nightlife. What you may not realize is that Las Vegas has plenty of amazing activities for children, making it a fine destination for the entire family. So when heading down to the camper rental to start your next adventure, keep in mind the following Vegas children's attractions and hit up the great desert city for some family fun.
Right behind the legendary Circus Circus casino lies the five acre Adventuredome Theme Park with all the games, rides, and more to thrill any child. Open year-round, Adventuredome has attractions for all ages, including arcades, mini-golf, and fair games. The rides encompass everything from high velocity rollercoasters to bumper cars, and there are always a number of exclusive attractions open no matter the time of year. Hours and hours can be spent in this park, so prepare to be there for the entire day. When you factor in that admission is absolutely free, you just can't go wrong with Adventuredome.
Located in the lobby of the Bellagio Hotel you will find this terrific botanical garden and conservatory. Under an impressive glass dome you will find cornucopia of impressive plants, trees, flowers, and arranged seasonal scenes. You can walk through dozens of different set pieces across bridges and along trails. The scenes change with each season and include special holiday displays. The conservatory is free to enter and open around the clock. With its plentiful trails and amazing scenery, the botanical garden is just as much fun for adults as it is for children.
Your kids are going to love this one. These multiple exhibits take you deep into an underwater world inhabited by a large population of fresh and saltwater predators. From over 100 species of sharks to piranhas to stingrays to crocodiles and alligators, the species collection here is nothing short of amazing. Younger children will be enchanted by thousands of colorful exotic fish and sea turtles on hand. The underwater tunnels are a must-do, giving the impression that you are walking along the ocean floor. You can best believe your kids will be more than impressed with the Shark Reef.
Located at the Venetian Hotel, the Gondola offers a series of canals that you and your kids can ride through while being serenaded with Italian songs. Depending on the weather, you can choose either an indoor or an outdoor ride, and your kids will be sure to enjoy the combination of traditional song and boat ride.
Far from just a gambling and nightlife town, the bright lights of Vegas beckon the entire family with promises of wholesome fun any kid will enjoy.

Studies in Law, Politics, and Society
This volume of "Studies in Law, Politics, and Society" presents a diverse array of articles by an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars. Their work spans the social sciences, humanities, and law and examines new perspectives on legal relationships and events, punishment as a literary and philosophical issue, and custom and experience in law and society. The articles published here illuminate some of the exciting work being done in interdisciplinary legal scholarship.
New Perspectives on Legal Relations and Events: "I am quite a stranger to the ways of this place" - the strange character of the law, R. Reichman; Theatres of pardoning - tragicomedy and the gunpowder plot, B. Meyler. Punishment as a Literary and Philosophical Issue: Western penology and the Russian "living soul" - Dostoevsky and the contemporary discourse of moral reflection, A. Kaladiouk; Dignity, citizenship and capital punishment - the right to life reformulated, C. Brettschneider. Law in Society: Custom and Experience - Law's inertia, custom in logic and experience, C. Kemp; Civil litigation from litigants' perspectives - what we know and what we don't know about the litigation experience of individual litigants, T. Relis.


Tampa, in my experience, is one of those Florida cities that people from away can't place. I was often asked when I lived in Boston, "Now where is it, on the West Coast or East Coast?" (West!) I lived in the "Tampa-St. Pete" area for many years, and now watch the two cities' growth from afar and occasional visits. St. Petersburg has developed a stronger personality, but Tampa is catching up. One example: it's stunning new Tampa Museum of Art , open just over a year now.
We toured the gleaming new space during a visit late last year and were mightily impressed. The building, designed by Stanley Saitowitz, sits along a bank of the Hillsborough River, next to the spiffy and even newer Glazer Children's Museum and Curtis Hixon Riverfront Park, a tremendous addition to downtown green space and entirely new to me. From the lobby and hallways of the modern-industrial 66,000-square-foot museum one can see the water, and, on the other bank, the landmark minarets of the Moorish-styled University of Tampa.
The ultra contemporary space — all shiny on the outside — lends itself well to its modern works, including a Calder mobile in the lobby, a room with cool LED displays, a sculpture-filled terrace, and a Do Ho Suh bathroom installation made of fabric that I so wanted to touch.
But the two or so rooms of ancient stuff was just jarring. OK, yes, the museum has this important collection of Greek and Egyptian art, but it just doesn't work here. It broke my flow and harshed my buzz. What's a modern-looking museum to do with its old stuff?
If you aren't into art (what's with that?), at least check out the lobby (free) and Sono Cafe, which has an upscale sandwich menu and gelato — best enjoyed on the patio overlooking the river.
Another free thrill is the museum-commissioned nighttime display by digital-light artist Leo Villareal, which turns a wall of the museum into "a kaleidoscope of patterns and colors," according to one article. Alas, we visited during the day. Next time!
Salvador Dali would enjoy the hoopla. To great fanfare, the new Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Fla., opens to the public 1/11/11 at 11:11 a.m. It is a beauty, both real and surreal.
January is chock full of public events to herald the arrival of this masterpiece of museums. Whenever you visit, now or later, take a docent tour. Not only are they entertaining, but, trust, me, you'll want the explanations.
We were treated to a sneak preview of the $36 million building late December. With two weeks to go before the opening, things were still very much a work in progress, and the artwork hadn't been moved from the current site eight blocks south. Though I loved the old museum, which opened in 1982, it was time for a step up for Dali's art and for downtown St. Petersburg, these days a lively tourist destination.
Many folks don't realize that the Dali Museum here has more of the surrealist's paintings than any place outside of his museum in Spain. The core collection was donated by the late A. Reynolds and Eleanor Morse. The new 66,400-square-foot building more than doubles the old, and the exhibition space jumps from 7,000 to 15,000 square feet, meaning more paintings, sculptures, and melting clocks can be displayed.
The building itself, designed by architect Yann Weymouth, is the perfect vessel for Dali's work. Visitors are first hit with a view of the "Glass Enigma," geodesic glass bubbles that front the building. From the inside, the structure, made with 900 triangular glass panels held in a steel grid — none identical — looks over the city's waterfront.
Just at the entrance is the cleverly titled "Avant Garden," featuring a grotto and bridge, hedge labyrinth, and a patio with stone pavers forming the golden rectangle. Dali loved mathematics.
Inside, you'll walk by (or browse in) an enhanced gift shop that will hold even more items than before, some custom-designed with Dali in mind, as they have been in the past. To the right is the first Dali café, with lacy metallic chairs. In the center is another mathematical masterpiece – "the Helical Staircase" – a spiral staircase resembling a strand of DNA that ascends to third-floor galleries and ends midair with a flourish of steel.
It's always raining inside "Rainy Rolls"
Also sure to make a splash is "Rainy Rolls 2010," a custom-made version of Dali's "Rainy Taxi." His original installation of a taxi that rains on the inside was the hit of the 1938 International Surrealist Exhibition in Paris. It's been re-created several times over, and this one was designed by Alain Cerf, founder of the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum. The car is a fully functional 1933 Rolls Royce Sedanca whose mannequin driver, dressed in vintage dive gear, carries a passenger, in this case a mermaid, who is being rained on. (The water is actually coming down between plexiglass panels.) It's an engineering and artistic marvel, and makes you realize there really is no shelter from the storm. That, my friends, is surreality.
I love Paige Cox's felted artwork! I wrote this for my regular Who & Ware craft column for the News & Observer in NC (it ran Nov. 6, 2010). Her pieces are sold around the country and online.
When Paige Cox goes into high schools to talk to students about careers in art, she makes sure they know that drawing is not her thing.
And what a craftsman she is. For the past decade, Cox, 38, has felted joyful, colorful, highly artistic dolls, balls and more. Her work is in stores across the country, including the Triangle, and she'll have a booth at the Piedmont Craftsmen and the Carolina Designer Craftsmen Guild shows this month.
Cox grew up in Asheboro, as Paige Helms and was encouraged by her mother, a lover of art and crafts, to explore her creative side.
When it came time for college, her boyfriend was going to N.C. State University, so she opted for nearby Peace College in Raleigh.
Things didn't work out at Peace or with the boyfriend.
Cox focused on weaving, but in her senior year tried felting, where wool fibers are matted, pressed and adhered, with or without moisture, to form objects, shapes and designs.
After graduating in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in fine arts specializing in fiber arts, Cox worked with Annawear hand-painted clothing in Highlands. Once back in North Carolina, she reconnected with her high school sweetheart, Tim Cox, a graphic designer who by then had moved to Greensboro. She joined him there the following year, and they married in 1997. The couple now have a daughter, 10, and son, 7, who were the impetus for her return to felting.
We were lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the exhibit (it's now open) while there during a southeast chapter meeting of the Society of American Travel Writers, meaning we didn't have to fight the nattily dressed crowds.
A funny aside: not only we were not allowed to take photos inside the exhibit (not unusual), we were told to put away our ink pens. That was a first. So I pulled out my pencil and scribbled away.
The show, up only through Aug. 29 (so get going!), is billed as the first survey of contemporary Western Europe decorative arts and product design. It's organized by the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Denver Art Museum and encompasses furniture, glass, ceramics, metalwork, lamps, and household items. Designers include the ubiquitous Philippe Starck, as well as Marc Newson, Marcel Wanders, Tord Boontje, and the Bouroullec Brothers. Way exciting!
The first floor holds a yummy collection of chairs. I wanted to not just touch but to sit, though most are more for looking, not lounging. My favorite was Mathias Bengtsson's "Slice Chair," the aluminum version from 1999. The Danish designer, based in London, has done several variations on the theme. Here's a great Q&A with him.
Much in the way Ellen was excited about her household goods, Wessel was thrilled to see so many Dutch designers, not that that should be a surprise. We're talking Tejo Remy, Piet Hein Eek, Tord Boontje (you've seen his paper-lace lampshades) and more, many whose work are sold through Droog, my favorite Amsterdam design shop (more on that some day).
One of the neatest everyday products was a Ty Nant water bottle from Wales created by Welsh born designer Ross Lovegrove. The sensuous asymmetrical bottle was designed to evoke the fluidity of water.
Whippet lovers will go wild for the "Whippet Bench" by RADI Designers in Paris. If it were a dachshund, I'd go out of my mind and might have to spent my life savings on it.
Groupings of work were labeled with headings like modernism, post modernism, neo-pop, biomorphic, neo-decorative, etc. Whatever you want to call these movements, I call them super cool (one reason I'll never be an art critic)!
Speaking of art criticism, we watched two museum staffers spend an inordinate amount of time trying to change a light bulb inside a wildly shaped lamp. So, how many art guys does it take to change a light bulb? Three. One to hold the precious lamp, one to screw in the bulb, and one to review the show.

BARRE, Vt., — It was a dark and stormy day. And all the better for visiting Hope Cemetery, except that our marker map got soaked. This cemetery in central Vermont is no ordinary final resting spot, but a Louvre of memorial art.
When you live granite, as a huge number of Italian immigrants did a century ago in this working-class Vermont city, you die granite. What better way to memorialize a granite sculptor or a worker's loved one than with a locally produced and quite unique grave marker?
The 65-acre cemetery, just north of Route 302, is a lovely setting for viewing and strolling. Visitors — from all over the world — are a common sight. A large burial service was going on when we were there on a late fall afternoon, which kept our mood rather somber. That is until we came upon the granite automobile marker, and the airplane, and the soccer ball. These markers celebrate life as much as mourn death, striking a balance between comical and poignant. One of my favorites was an oversized chair in the form of a favorite chair of the deceased.
The floral carvings are also amazing, and the Visitors Guide to Hope Cemetery, published by the Barre Granite Association, explains the meaning of some of the flowers. Roses symbolize love and wisdom, Easter lilies, purity, and calla lilies sympathy.
One of the cemetery's most famous gravestones is that of Elia Corti, who died at age 34 in 1903. This large statue was cut from a single piece of granite and is a life-size likeness of the deceased, carved by his brother. In the sculpture, Corti is seated with his right elbow on his knee. Seams, wrinkles, and creases, and buttons are detailed in his clothing. His face is extraordinarily lifelike. The tools of his trade surround him. All this from one block of rock.
You'll also come upon bas relief carvings, including one of an angel and another of an elaborate sailing ship said to symbolize salvation. There are family mausoleums as well. The Vanetti family's has eight crypts. The elaborate grillwork on the door is made from granite.
Whether your day is dark and stormy or sunny and clear, this is a place to celebrate life and the rocks of ages.
Hope Cemetery is at Merchant Street at Maple Avenue in Barre. For a map, contact the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce, 877-887-3678. The cemetery can be reached at 802-476-6245.

Over the past 18 months, Flynn, 49, has gone from underemployed illustrator to successful creator of unique robot sculptures. Except for a few nuts and bolts, the 10- to 20-inch-tall creatures are fully made from her vintage findings at flea markets, yard sales and, if pressed for a particular object, on eBay. The "Fobots," as she calls the found-object robots, are artistic, humorous and totally endearing.
"They're not symmetrical. There's always something off, like one eye bigger than the other, or the arms are mismatched. I really feel like that's what makes them human," she said.
Take, for instance, "Junior Birdman." His body is a bird food tin, his arms are faucet handles, and his head is a tea ball topped with a toy propeller. Other components include hydraulic fittings, a button and watch gear.
The Fobots' debut has been well received. In the past year, they have gained Flynn entry into some of the country's most competitive art fairs, graced the pages of the Anthropologie catalog and, most recently, earned a cameo role in the ABC comedy "Ugly Betty." In the March 10 episode, 14 Fobots lined the shelves of the tube walkway that connects the reception area to the inner sanctum.
Flynn is surprised, elated and a little embarrassed by her success at a time when many veteran artists are having a hard time.
For many years, Flynn was content as an illustrator, doing what she'd always loved.
Her first job out of San Jose State University in California was with Hallmark Cards, illustrating greeting cards. Later she did similar work at Current in Colorado, and eventually left to freelance so she would have time to illustrate greeting cards and children's books. Her drawings for cards and books were, for the most part, soft, sweet and seasonal.
Flynn landed in North Carolina when her husband, Phil Crone, who works in the computer software industry, was transferred to Raleigh in 1993.
She continued to freelance, but over time her regular clients all but vanished with the economic downturn. She was miserable.
Flynn isn't sure what led her to make her first robot.
"We had all this junk in the basement, and it inspired me," she said. She had collected most of the items at flea markets to potentially use for theater props. She and Crone have been involved in community theater, working with Raleigh Little Theater, Theater in the Park, the Actors Comedy Lab and others.
"Mostly I acted, but I liked to pay my dues backstage by making stuff," she said.

Many people suffer because they don't like the way their body looks. They are dieting and trying to lose weight but for some reason, that doesn't happen.
I was very insecure and unsatisfied many years ago. I put on 60 pounds, and then I started working out like crazy. I exercised 3-5 hours per day and I tried all kind of diets. It took me many years to realize that the only way to lose weight and stay fit is to change the lifestyle. Part of that was to accept myself as I am. The reason that many of us can't lose weight is also because we don't love ourselves. Loving your body means accepting and embracing the way you are. When you do that you will actually change and transform.
Start eating healthy You need to keep in your mind that you're doing that in order to feel great, not to just lose weight. That way you'll have much more energy and you'll start loving your body and feel amazing in your skin. And when you feel good, you look good. So, as you can see, everything is connected.
Accept your body. It is important to feel comfortable in your skin. Even if you are not satisfied with your body shape, just pretend you are; that's the key. From my personal experience, I remember when I was 16 years old and came to the U.S. as an exchange student, I gained 60 pounds. I used to be a ballroom dancer, and as you can only imagine, it was truly hard for me to see myself this way. I started dieting, and exercising 3 or 5 hours a day, but I was not able to get the results that I wanted. So I decided to accept my body as it was and TEK then started the transformation.
Otherwise, if we surround ourselves with negativity and stress, we'll end up with bad results, bad health and the body we hate. Nothing will ever change and we'll always look the same.

Stimuli-enabled switch-like paracetamol electrochemical sensor based on thermosensitive polymer and MWCNTs-GQDs composite nanomaterial.

Summary of "Stimuli-enabled switch-like paracetamol electrochemical sensor based on thermosensitive polymer and MWCNTs-GQDs composite nanomaterial."
A temperature-controlled switchable electrochemical sensor was constructed based on a composite film consisting of thermosensitive block polymer poly(styrene-b-(N-isopropylacrylamide)-b-styrene) (PS-PNIPAm-PS), carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) and amino-functionalized graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs). The prepared sensor showed good temperature sensitivity and reversibility in sensing paracetamol. In the low temperature environment, the polymer stretched to bury the electroactive sites of the carbon nanocomposite, and the paracetamol could not pass through the polymer to achieve electronic exchange, representing the "closed" state. Conversely, in the high temperature environment, the polymer shrank to expose the electroactive sites and enlarge background currents, the paracetamol was able to undergo the redox reaction normally and generate the response current, representing the "on" state. In addition, the sensor had a wide detection range (0.1 to 7.0 μM and 7.0 to 103.0 μM) and a low LOD of 66 nM for paracetamol. This switch-like sensor provided a novel idea for the application of thermosensitive polymers.
Fabrication of SnS/TiO2@GO composite coated GC electrode for concomitant determination of paracetamol, tryptophan and caffeine in pharmaceutical formulations.
Development of molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor with reduced graphene oxide and titanium dioxide enhanced performance for the detection of toltrazuril in chicken muscle and egg.
CuS/Prussian blue core-shell nanohybrid as electrochemical sensor for ascorbic acid detection.
Development of clay-protein based composite nanoparticles modified single-used sensor platform for electrochemical cytosensing application.
Ratiometric fluorescent probe based on pyrrole-modified rhodamine 6G hydrazone for the imaging of Cu in lysosomes.
The objective of this study is to investigate whether paracetamol, given at therapeutic doses (2g/day and 3 g/day), may potentiate the anticoagulant effect of warfarin.

In this week's episode of LOVELife I talk about how ambition can be the enemy of relationships, and the dangers of not staying in touch with loved ones when life gets in the way.
I feel this same issue! My husband and I actually have lost touch with friends because life happens, and work gets in the way, and there are errands to run, and (insert here). It is always nice to catch up with friends but they seem to be in the same situation; always busy. I feel like we're at a point where we have to make new friends who can eventually be old friends. The only thing is…we do both work full time jobs, my husband has returned to school part time,and I am contemplating returning to school as well. How does one, go about making "new friends" when you've reached your early 30s? It would be nice to have other couples to spend time with but I have no idea how to go about doing this?
I think it is very important to stay connected with old friends because these people you still care about but sometimes you just get busy! We always have to remember to just slow down a bit and just make time because life is soo short and before you know those friends may not be there for you to reconnect with so I always try to connect with each one of my close friends at some point and I also try to see them where I can as well.
Thank-you for the heartfelt video. I agree with what you say.
There seems to be well in the last 4/5 blog posts a new even more chilled and happy energy about you , coming accross in your posts/ video which is inspiring – perhaps it's a sign of emotional maturity. I like it that you provide ways to make life generally more fulfilling as opposed to just on relationships – important though they are. Stay groovy.
This is one of the most beautyful post you´d ever made. Congrats.
Old friends are the people, who will remind us of childhood when we are 80.
I hope you're now going to ring your friend, skip on up and over and visit, or give him a ticket to come visit you, for a few weeks.
It's very true, and a reality of balancing the rubbish events from the reality.
Thank you Matt, for this video. You're very emotional in it. I have less contact now with some of my friends, cause they're married with children. I'm still single. I know there's no reason to not call them once in a while or meet up with them every so often. Sometimes I feel that because they have children that it creates a distance because I can't see them as much as I used to. Still I suppose you have to embrace change & not let it get in the way of old friendships.
Got this… Good points, I get caught up in my goals and hobbies too.


Why does iTunes freeze on my computer?
Every time I try to load iTunes on my computer (an HP) it freezes and I have to manually shut down the computer. What's the fix?
Apple should have used Real Player. iTunes is more cluncky than an MS App.
Perhaps you plugged another device to sync and after un-plugging itunes still think that the device is plugged. Also perhaps you have corrupted playlists or files in itunes.
this is what exactly I did. What is solution.
I answered a similar question a few months ago, does it answer your question? If not, let me know!
