Photos requested. Eastwind Development LLC www.eastwinddevgroup.com Revenue: $35 million Headquarters: Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Employees: 6 Specialty: Acquisition and development of multifamily housing Ron Roan, vice president: "We spend time focusing on the details of what will make the community outstanding." Headline: Seeing the Potential Deck: Eastwind Development knows it's all about location when it comes to developing successful multifamily housing communities in Florida. Eastwind Development prides itself on being a small and nimble firm when it comes to the acquisition and development of multifamily housing throughout Florida. "We are a local shop with a focus of developing entirely in Florida," Vice President Ron Roan says. "I was born and lived my whole life in Florida and our president, Jack Weir, has been here for approximately 30 years. We understand our markets." Eastwind, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, was founded Weir in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., in 2007. After serving as senior vice president for a privately held Florida multifamily development group, Weir saw the potential for a better company. Eastwind Development and its affiliate, Eastwind Acquisitions, focus on the acquisition and development of new multifamily housing. Being intimately familiar with its markets allows the company to make quick acquisition decisions. "We have strong local knowledge of the products, rents and where there might be issues," Roan notes. "Jack and I can assess quickly whether a site will work for us, which sellers appreciate. Sometimes the smaller products give us an opportunity to pursue sites that aren't for everyone, which means we don't have intense competition and get better pricing." Choosing a property may be a fast decision for Eastwind, but the company is in no hurry when it comes to the development. "We spend a considerable time designing our product," Roan says. "We look at the market, who we are renting to and the trends. We spend time on the details of what will make the community outstanding." After development, Eastwind does not have a timeline for selling its properties. "Some you might sell in a year or two after stabilization," Roan says. "There isn't one particular strategy. We are opportunistic with the market – when it's the right time to sell we look to do that." Appealing to Residents Eastwind's residents range from millennials to seniors and each property targets a specific demographic based on goods and services in the area. "With each development, we identify the core demographics; who lives, works and shops nearby, and that comes back to picking the right locations and determining who your community will best serve," Roan explains. When choosing a new location, Roan says he puts himself in the resident's shoes and thinks about where he or she would shop, what the traffic patterns are like and whether there are employment centers nearby. "Those are the early things to consider when looking at sites to determine future residents and what types of rents the market will support," he adds. Eastwind says technology and amenities are crucial aspects of its developments because residents now want Wi-Fi, electric car stations, walkability to public transportation and pet-friendly housing. "We are constantly reviewing emerging trends in the multifamily industry and we are cognizant of the changing needs of our residents," Roan says. With a number of good areas to choose from and a booming multifamily housing sector, Eastwind is cautious of areas it knows can become over built. "One benefit of being local is that we know if there are going to be three or four projects coming online within a five-mile radius," Roan explains. "Generally, we won't try to go in and jump into that area if we feel there will be a saturation of new development." Ventura Pointe In April, Eastwind acquired a 9.8-acre site in Pembroke Pines, Fla., located on the east side of University Drive between Memorial Hospital Pembroke and the Walnut Creek neighborhood. The company recently began construction of a $41.6 million, 206-unit apartment complex on the site that will feature two four-story and two five-story buildings, five detached garage buildings, a 5,800-square-foot clubhouse and a pool, along with a cutting-edge amenity package. Eastwind expects Ventura Pointe to be completed in early 2018. "There will probably be a fair amount of young professionals and millennials living there," Roan says. "It's an urban mid-rise project with a two-story clubhouse that's amenitized with an outstanding exercise facility and social rooms for gatherings on the second floor. We are expecting it to be very successful." Moving forward, Eastwind's goal is to remain active in south and central Florida while keeping an eye on new markets. "We are hoping to expand into Tampa-St. Petersburg this year and we are considering Jacksonville," Roan says. "We are primarily looking at Florida markets and continue to be very selective in our properties. We are a small, nimble, experienced group that looks to continue to stay ahead of trends, find a few strategic per year and produce high-quality multifamily housing developments."


The VW Beetle's familiar shape has been around for decades. It is an iconic car that is instantly recognized, no matter if it's the old-school Herbie the Love Bug runabout or the aggressively-styled larger version of today. I drove VW's latest Bug, the 2014 Beetle R-Line Turbo. And what exactly is an R-Line? It's VW's Beetle Turbo with a new name.
This isn't the Beetle with the smallish, low-powered, engine, or a not-so-loaded bug. This is the Reflex Metallic Beetle equipped with a 2.0-liter TSI engine making a healthy 207 ft/lbs of torque and 210 horsepower. Those are fully grown stallion horses, not just your everyday youngin' ponies we are talking about. Along with this sporty turbocharged direct-injection engine, this bug has a host of performance and safety features such as a sport suspension, dual-clutch transmission, all those necessary three-letter safety acronyms (ABS, EBD, ASR, ESC, and so on), as well as eye-catching 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in performance all-season tires.
This vehicle is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes, but they certainly didn't put you through the windshield, so to speak; I had hoped for more engagement. But where the brakes were lacking, the power was not. The 210 horsepower engine bolted to the 6-speed DSG transmission engine had quick responses, a good note to it, and had beautifully-designed paddle shifters for when you wanted to engage the engine in a "show-me-who-is-boss" manner.
On the highway this bug was comfortable, had a ton of accouterments to use (Fender audio, navigation, a host of other infotainment and menu systems), and felt lovely as I cruised along the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. Slight wind noise was present with the power moonroof and windows closed but who cares if you are driving it during a 75 degree sunny day? Imagine the windows and moonroof open, the premium Fender stereo blaring, and you rocking out to your favorite tunes—get the picture? It was a fun drive. So, it was great on the highway but, how did it do in the city?
City driving was fun and sassy. Cornering was sticky but you felt the car's weight in sorts—all 3,104 lbs. of it—but it was still enjoyable. I am used to extreme grippage from our WRX and lowered Yaris, but feel its handling would certainly suffice for most enthusiasts.
This R-Line has a great engine note, a power moonroof, and luxury niceties such as a touchscreen navi system, media device interface, Bluetooth connectivity, heated front seats and exterior mirrors (which were not needed during our beautiful fall week), leather just-about-everything, and power windows with pinch protection. Even though this current generation is larger than its predecessors, it is still easy to park, merge, and is happy in a downtown atmosphere. A few things to note, however: The C-pillar is quite large and makes for an interesting quandary when maneuvering around town quickly. Be sure to delegate your short friends to the rear seats, too, as headroom is still a bit of a challenge. Myself? I am vertically challenged, so I fit into the back seat just fine.
The rest of the interior is nice and tight. Classic German styling and attention to detail is evident. Multi-color leather, high-gloss finishes next to matte black accents, and touches of silver. All of this makes for a timeless look. Some items I pondered upon: Would the high gloss black accent strip along the top of the doors scratch or get screamin' hot to the touch? Would they constantly be dusty and dirty with fingerprints and drive me crazy? Most likely yes, but if that is something you can look beyond, this may be the bug for your boo. Or even for you, for that matter.
With an estimated 24 city and 30 highway, this turbo trekker will set you back $32,215 (which includes $820 in destination charges). This is a bit more than its competitors and several more grand than our 2013 Subaru WRX hatchback was. But, if you are looking for the extra add-ons such as leather, touchscreen with navigation, Fender audio system, and xenon headlights (with LED running lights)—this may be your ride.
The Beetle comes with a 3 year, 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, and a 5 year, 60,000 limited powertrain warranty. It also comes with 3 year, 36,000 24-hour roadside assistance. Nice feature if you do end up stranded up somewhere.
The R-Line turbo is the performance version of VW's Beetle. R stands for rad, real, and ready to roll. Don't forget about VW's GTI, however, if you're not into the Beetle's styling.
That's funny - in one of the pictures you can see that there's a purse where the engine should be!

For some years, I ran Sunday Cinema as part of the Second Saturday group, but since this has now grown into two groups - First and Second Saturday - I have decided to open it up as an independent group in its own right and to set up new database of members who are interested in joining.
Whenever a decent film is showing at the Truro Plaza (ie, not every week but probably every few weeks), a group of us will go to see it, with an optional meal at a nearby restaurant before or after the event, depending upon the time of the performance.
Because the week's cinema programme is only published on the Monday, it has to be arranged by email, with people being asked to respond usually by Thursday, for the Sunday showing. I purchase a block of tickets and book the restaurant for those who want to come, and people pay me for the ticket just before the showing. For that reason, if you say you want to come, you are committed to pay for the ticket even if you are not able to attend on the day.
If you would like to belong to the group, please email me and I will then put you on the distribution list. I am sorry, but you will need an email address to belong to the group .

The Compton Castle, the boat cafe in the centre of Truro, is offering their venue as a possible meeting place for groups. It has the advantage of being roomy, no stairs to negotiate, very central and easy to access by public transport, being just beside the bus station. It's disadvantages are that the nearest toilets are in Marks and Spencers or the bus station, it has no blackout facility so no good for those groups that use a screen and entrance is via a gangplank, which some might find difficult.It might be good though for those groups that meet socially or for discussion and where members are prepared to buy themselves a drink.


When Florida eco tours are mentioned, quite understandably, the first thing that comes to most people's minds are the Everglades. This area is the most popular for airboat tours and mangrove safari tours. There are other places to explore the environment in Florida, however. Eco Tourism on Sanibel Island and Captiva Island is one of this destination's most popular draws. This island is renowned for its pristine mangrove ecosystems, its extensive beachfronts and the numerous species of shells to be found on the shores. A large part of this island is occupied by a nature preserve.
Explore the mangroves in the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge.
Florida eco tourism oftentimes centers on environments which are endangered or threatened. One of the most popular destinations for eco tourism on Sanibel is the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. This refuge occupies the northern portion of the more than 5,000 acres set aside as a preserve on Sanibel Island. Mangrove ecosystems are some of the more fragile and threatened on the planet. The J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge protects one of these ecosystems and allows tourists to explore the fascinating wildlife that calls this exotic locale home. Eco tourism in Florida such as this helps to preserve these national treasures through education.
Eco Tours are exciting for the entire family!
Spot great blue herons throughout the islands.
Eco tourism in Florida, predictably enough, oftentimes centers on the seaside environs. On Sanibel and Captiva, those who love to go shelling will find themselves in one of the best locations for that pastime on Earth. The shelling on these beaches is recognized as world-class and visitors will find everything from sand dollars to scallops and much more. There is a museum on the island, the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum, which is dedicated to educating visitors about the undersea world of shellfish. This museum has over 30 exhibits and is the largest such facility dedicated to the study of shells in the world.
Eco tours in Florida oftentimes take travelers far off the beaten path. On Sanibel Island and Captiva Island, this oftentimes means visiting beaches which are far outside the developed areas of the islands. While it's associated with relaxation and just getting away from it all, eco tourism on Sanibel oftentimes means visiting Bowman's Beach. It may be close to populated areas but this beach is very secluded and allows visitors to explore the seaside environs in peace. There are festivals held at various times of year which help to educate visitors about this delicate environment and the island itself.
Beautiful snowy egrets are a part of every eco-tour on Sanibel and Captiva.


As you understand, there are numerous ultra-uncommon autos voyaging America's roadways and stowing away in her carports. Some are plant manufactured custom occupations; some are fortunate survivors. This one is distinctive. It's the main creation auto of its sort in the area, and the main fourth-era Mazda Cosmo that is ever seen our shores.
It's more uncommon, truth be told, than the original Cosmo you may review from Motor Trend Classic, Issue Two. That lovely 1967 was one of three in America of which we're mindful. Jay Leno claims one more of the three, and the third auto parks beside this 1993 auto in Mazda's not really mystery carport underneath the organization's R&D office in Southern California. On the off chance that, as Todd Lassa wrote in Issue Two, the first Cosmo is "minimal known here, even among those no-nonsense auto nuts," this last-era auto is a finished obscure.
This Cosmo, however, was not transported in the mid 1990s. It was really foreign made just six years prior by Mazda USA building boss Kelvin Hiraishi to add to Mazda North America's legacy accumulation, and was appeared at Mazda and revolving lover appears. Preceding its landing here, this Cosmo was one of Mazda's improvement autos and collected the greater part of its less than 3800 miles close by the Miyoshi test track, which clarifies why it rides on 1992 wheels as opposed to 1993's BBS wheels. Since making the rounds at American appears, it's been sitting unobtrusively in a side of the renowned carport. A demonstration of its nature of building, the Cosmo began straight up after more than a large portion of 10 years of dormancy.
The Cosmo name was not new to Americans, as it was an eager if not imperfect Japanese tackle the Monte Carlo. The second era car was sold amid the mid to late 70's. With the fourth and last era of Cosmos of 1990, Mazda had consolidated the majority of its trademark rotating motor advances with a turn. The Cosmos was the first and final Mazda outfitted with a triple-rotor motor with twin-turbocharging.
Two removals of 1.3 (230 hp) or 2.0 were accessible. The bigger motor included a two phase turbocharger that supported energy to 280. Turbo slack, a typical characteristic from the period was disposed of with a consecutive help framework like what the late Toyota Supra had, however years before it advanced the idea. The idea of twin successive turbos was a first for a rotational fueled auto (the RX-7 would come later) and one of only a handful couple of uses in any auto so far as that is concerned. The back wheel drive Cosmo came just as a car and with its long 108 in wheelbase, it rode easily like an appropriate gran tourer ought to. As agreeable as it might have been, it taken care of well and ruined its driver and travelers with best in class innovation.
The Eunos was such an innovation visit de constrain that a hefty portion of its treats would be fused in future Mazdas and additionally getting to be typical years after the fact. While the GPS is noted as one of the auto's primary elements, different things like ABS, TV, cellular telephone and propelled atmosphere control framework were made all the additionally interesting on the grounds that they were controlled or checked through the touchscreen screen. The Cosmo was likewise one of the principal autos to change over to the then new ECAT frameworks for modernized merchant diagnostics and upkeep.
For auto with a brandishing top of the line mission the Eunos was not especially ostentatious all things considered. It's shape helped one to remember any number of lower evaluated Japanese game cars. In spite of the fact that the outside might not have energized numerous, the inside was significantly more rousing. A bended dash with streaming lines was particularly the model of ergonomics best practices, around 1990. The recessed showcases mixed into a dull band that wrapped around the lodge, much like the '90 to 94 Honda Prelude. Calfskin and wood completed off the vibe and look of extravagance.

How Insects Started Solving Crimes
Flies helped identify the murder weapon, a bloody sickle, in the first known crime solved by bugs. Getty Images/Photographers Choice/Günay Mutlu
by Debbie Hadley
Debbie Hadley is a science educator with 25 years of experience who has written on science topics for over a decade.
In recent decades, the use of entomology as a tool in forensic investigations has become fairly routine. The field of forensic entomology has a much longer history than you might suspect, dating all the way back to the 13th century.
The First Crime Solved by Forensic Entomology
The earliest known case of a crime being solved using insect evidence comes from medieval China. In 1247, the Chinese lawyer Sung Ts'u wrote a textbook on criminal investigations called The Washing Away of Wrongs. In his book, Ts'u recounts the story of a murder near a rice field. The victim had been slashed repeatedly, and investigators suspected the weapon used was a sickle, a common tool used in the rice harvest. How could the murderer be identified, when so many workers carried these tools?
The local magistrate brought all the workers together and told them to lay down their sickles. Though all the tools looked clean, one quickly attracted hordes of flies. The flies could sense the residue of blood and tissue invisible to the human eye. When confronted by this jury of flies, the murderer confessed to the crime.
Dispelling the Myth of Spontaneous Generation of Maggots
Just as people once thought the world was flat and the Sun revolved around the Earth, people used to think maggots would arise spontaneously out of rotting meat. Italian physician Francesco Redi finally proved the connection between flies and maggots in 1668.
Redi compared two groups of meat: the first left exposed to insects, and the second group covered by a barrier of gauze. In the exposed meat, flies laid eggs, which quickly hatched into maggots. On the gauze-covered meat, no maggots appeared, but Redi observed fly eggs on the outer surface of the gauze.
Establishing a Relationship Between Cadavers and Arthropods
In the 1700 and 1800's, physicians in both France and Germany observed mass exhumations of corpses. The French doctors M. Orfila and C. Lesueur published two handbooks on exhumations, in which they noted the presence of insects on the exhumed cadavers. Some of these arthropods were identified to species in their 1831 publication. This work established a relationship between specific insects and decomposing bodies.
Fifty years later, the German doctor Reinhard used a systematic approach to study this relationship. Reinhard exhumed bodies to collect and identify the insects present with the bodies. He specifically noted the presence of phorid flies, which he left to an entomology colleague to identify.
Using the Succession of Insects to Determine a Postmortem Interval
By the 1800's, scientists knew that certain insects would inhabit decomposing bodies. Interest now turned to the matter of succession. Physicians and legal investigators began questioning which insects would appear first on a cadaver, and what their life cycles could reveal about a crime.
In 1855, French doctor Bergeret d'Arbois was the first to use insect succession to determine the postmortem interval of human remains. A couple remodeling their Paris home uncovered the mummified remains of a child behind the mantelpiece. Suspicion immediately fell on the couple, though they had only recently moved into the house.
Bergeret, who autopsied the victim, noted evidence of insect populations on the corpse. Using methods similar to those employed by forensic entomologists today, he concluded that the body had been placed behind the wall years earlier, in 1849. Bergeret used what was known about insect life cycles and successive colonization of a corpse to arrive at this date. His report convinced police to charge the previous tenants of the home, who were subsequently convicted of the murder.
French veterinarian Jean Pierre Megnin spent years studying and documenting the predictability of insect colonization in cadavers. In 1894, he published La Faune des Cadavres, the culmination of his medico-legal experience. In it, he outlined eight waves of insect succession that could be applied during investigations of suspicious deaths. Megnin also noted that buried corpses were not susceptible to this same series of colonization. Just two stages of colonization invaded these cadavers.
Modern forensic entomology draws on the observations and studies of all these pioneers.

The Geostorm Trailer Looks Like Roland Emmerich's Take On The Weather Channel
Everybody has their particular genre of movie that they tend to enjoy. If your particular jam is the disaster movie, then it looks like Geostorm is going to have everything in it you could possibly want. The first trailer for the film is now out and it shows a world being ravaged by every possible weather disaster you could imagine. However you like to see your destruction, Geostorm has got it. Check it out.
Geostorm takes place in a world where global weather is controlled by satellites. You don't have to be a cinema expert to guess what happens to them. Either via hacking or malfunction, the trailer would seem to imply the former through the idea that "control" of these satellites is key, the satellites begin to go nuts and they start to cause all manner of weather disaster. We see tornadoes and ice storms and tidal waves. Everything goes completely bonkers. If you're a fan of Roland Emmerich disaster's like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012, then Geostorm would seem to be perfect for you.
The comparison to Roland Emmerich is far from accidental. Geostorm is actually co-written, produced, and directed by Dean Devlin, Emmerich's longtime production partner who has worked with him on several projects including the Independence Day films.. Now, Devlin has apparently struck out on his own to try his hand at the genre. It will be his feature film debut as a director.
The film stars Gerard Butler as the designer of the weather satellites. Apparently, the massive, disastrous, storm that attacks the world is part of some sort of conspiracy to assassinate the president, which makes Geostorm sound like another entry in the Olympus Has Fallen series. Apparently, saving the President's life is just what Gerard Butler does these days.
Still, the disaster scenes do look pretty cool.
Geostorm has been a long time in coming to the screen. Test screenings of the feature were shown to audiences as far back as December of 2015 but the reaction was apparently so negative that the film went back to do massive reshoots. Reportedly, some entire characters have been removed from the film following the new shots. Jerry Bruckheimer was brought in to oversee production of the new scenes, which would lead one to believe that they needed to up the spectacle of the disaster movie.
For better or worse, Geostorm is finally on its way to screens so we'll see if this new version of the film is one that will resonate with audiences. Geostorm is set for release October 20.

No Going Back After COVID — Communications Trends for 2021
by Valerie Di Maria
Last year marked one of the most tumultuous times in history. A global pandemic, economic downturns, political uncertainty and broad public protest over racial inequality had an insurmountable impact. The effects will be felt this year and beyond and fuel the10company's top 10 2021 communications trends, each with significant implications for companies and executives:
1. Empathy is essential. After dealing daily with the health and financial concerns for employees and their families in a COVID world, genuine empathy will underpin all communications as never before.
2. Avoid remote culture shock. Even when we return to normal, working virtually will remain a reality. The imperative is creating a unique culture for all employees when many will not be in the office full-time — or at all.
3. Virtual virtuosos are the next wave. Mastering virtual meetings have become must-have skills. Now that everyone is getting used to Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Meetings and other technologies, the ability to deliver engaging, interactive internal and external events and presentations will be elevated.
4. The definition of "employee" expands. Internal communication goes beyond the employee. In the work-from-home environment, companies will put greater emphasis on including family members in considerations and communications.
5. Everyone gets a vote. Building consensus will guide strategic decisions more than ever. Following 2020's dramatic events, expect more appreciation for getting input from many sources before making big and little policy decisions, as well as the ways to communicate them.
6. Global is good again. With a new U.S. administration in place, engagement with the world on key issues will be back. Companies need to explain their points of view and actions to the average American, as well as the subsequent benefits of playing on a world stage again.
7. Purpose matters more. Talk turns to action as a result of the numerous racial, gender and economic social movements that are having real influence. The chief communications officer can help define and drive their company's purpose, values and actions to ensure that all audiences understand what their company stands for.
8. A skills-refresh optimizes opportunities. Reskilling receives renewed investment and importance. Programs that teach new skills and boost technical proficiency can benefit all — no matter your race, gender or educational background. Communications will play a key role in promoting the vision and programs.
9. Navigating social platforms is critical. It's not just LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. TikTok and new players, such as WTSocial (a non-toxic social network), Elpha (devoted to career-building women) and Signal (encrypted messaging app) may all be on the list. Prioritizing and leveraging the right outlets is crucial.
10. Can we trust each other? Instilling trust is the 2021 challenge. After a year of fake news, political rhetoric and COVID testing and vaccine concerns, every organization must double down on authenticity, transparency and honesty to build back trust.

COVID-19 PR trends Trends
Report: Amid Growing Mistrust of Governments and Media, Business Must Provide Credible Information
The Capitol Riots: A Crisis Communication Retrospect
Valerie Di Maria
- Lawson Colgate, writer/editor for Platform Magazine says:
There is no denying that 2020 was a year full of change. As PR practitioners it is our job to stay informed on current trends and adapt accordingly. I enjoyed reading about the 2021 trends listed in this blog and believe applying them will be beneficial to our communication efforts going forward. It's especially important to maintain transparency in order to build back up, or continue to build, trust among our audiences. Our audiences will engage in and better understand our messages when trust is solidified.
Hannah Hooten says:
The top 10 communication trends for 2021 are vital to the success of companies. The year 2020 has indefinitely transformed our methods of communication. Technology has made it possible to connect with large or small groups of people from anywhere around the world. These advancements have increased the probability of working from home and even attending class on snow days. Individuals around the world have been asked to continue working virtually indefinitely while others prefer this option due to the uncertainties of COVID-19. This form of communication for occupations will only become more of a reality. Another issue that has greatly impacted society is the decline of trust in the government, professionals and the media. I believe this is the most important element of communication in 2021. People are less apt to believe sources, even credible ones, due to the constant and abundance of misinformation. By establishing trust In 2021, it is important to understand the challenges and transitions that society underwent in order to maintain effective communication.
Carleigh Riddle says:
I completely agree with this blog. we are not the same after living through a pandemic therefore our communication will never be the same. Living through a pandemic has caused a world full of anxiety. As we see the light at the end of the road we have to take into account that society may not bounce back to what it once was. Many people have taken into account what is truly important in their lives when everything shut down in March of 2020. So the 10 steps of how to step back into communication after the pandemic is very effective and takes into account what the work went through and how to work toward moving forward.

ليلا رضاخواه
The structure of Clowney essay
- The modern system of arts is a recent western invention, with an ideological function in modern capitalist society.
- Accepting this view : definition and conceptual analysis of the modern system's fundamental categories should be replaced by critical analysis of their function in modern society.
- Clowney suggest : This view is no great loss to philosophers of the arts
1-The philosophers are participating in such by critical analysis.
2-Thay have plenty of other interesting work to do in the philosophy of music, dance,etc.
- Definition Projects in Aesthetics and the Historical Origins of Fine Art.
"Fine art" is of recent origin and it originated in the 18th century west.
The biginnings of "fine art" parallel the emergence of modern economic and class structures in 18th century.
The key elements of modern art :
1- Artist as Free and Visionary Genius
2- The art work as valuable for its own sake
3- Aesthetic as an autonomous realm of value
Description of the "historical origins" or ADT: ADT implies that Art as we in the
westernized word now think of it is an historically contingent and culturally specific invention, not a human universal.
Exploration of ADT implication projects and their relatives in philosophy of the arts.
- Implications of the Art Divided thesis (ADT) for the philosophy of the arts
Is Art definable?:
1- No, there is no definition that will work for "art" into the distant past and around the word, because there is no one thing there to define.
2- Yes, Defining art within the context of the modern system may be possible, though because of the way that system was constituted and because of the ways it has developed since.
We can see the emergence of the modern system of arts as a kind of cultural maturation.
The modern system is inconsistent:
1- It claims that art is independent from utility, and most especially from commerce; but it arose as the art market replaced patronage.
2- The modern system presupposes that all the fine arts have a common nature, in that they are all forms of Art, But it downplays the significant differences between music, painting, sculpture, architecture, poetry, dance, fiction, theater, and so on.
3- The modern system arbitrarily divides Art from craft, but then goes on, in effect, to include certain craftwork as Art.
4- The modern system separates art from entertainment, but certain films and graphic novels now garner attention as fine art.
5- The modern system inherently separates Art from the rest of life, so that it cannot readily accommodate the "aesthetic of the everyday" that characterized traditional Japan. Rather it must select out certain products of that aesthetic as art works, and take the rest to be fashion, decoration, or style.
For all of reasons, we cannot believe that the emergence of the modern system of the Arts represents a culmination of universal human arts practice, but the Art for Art's sake idea has made possible the creation of some amazing works that almost certainly would never have come into existence otherwise.
- The Aesthetic, Aesthetic disinterest, and the Artist
ADT has similar implications for the notions of the aesthetic and the artist.
Aesthetic Disinterest remains a powerful category, The Aesthetic not only in the philosophy of art, but in the arts in the west and in western culture more generally.
The Aesthetic is an autonomous realm.
All sensitive people agree that there is a particular kind of emotion provoked by works of visual art, and that this emotion is provoked by every kind of visual art, by pictures, sculptures, buildings, pots, carvings, textiles, etc. This emotion is called the aesthetic emotion.
The range of such experiences is not coextensive with our experience of artworks.
Some artist rejected the use of the word "aesthetic".
The isolation of the aesthetic from other sorts of value or experience is notoriously problematic. But the term "Aesthetic" remains useful.
- Philosophy of the arts after definition projects
The historical origins of the modern system of the arts, and its function as ideology, give compelling reasons to abandon efforts at defining Art and the aesthetic, and to replace such efforts with historical and critical inquiries about the origins and function of that system.
The field of philosophy of the arts would not become any less rich.
Abandoning the effort to provide abstract definitions of "the concepts" of art and the aesthetic will not leave us unemployed.

Map plan draws fire
Chance, Britt: Proposal 2 needs more input before vote
Map proposal 1 - photo by Special
The Statesboro City Council is expected to decide Tuesday between two proposed maps that redraw the boundaries for the city's five council districts. But council members Travis Chance and Will Britt both say a map that was not made available to study until Friday afternoon should not be considered because the public has not had a chance to offer input.
The city's Department of Community Development is redrawing the city's five council districts to more evenly distribute populations in the wake of 2010 Census results that revealed major growth in Statesboro. To abide by federal laws requiring all individuals' votes count equally, the city must balance populations across its five districts.
One proposed map was created and two work sessions were held last month with the public invited to look at the maps, ask questions and make suggestions. A second proposed map that changed significantly the district lines for council members Chance, John Riggs and Tommy Blitch was sent to the members Friday afternoon.
"It appears to me it's the bait and switch," Chance said. "It appears this is the plan from the beginning. And it appears they've shown the public one map and then at the last day this other map shows up. Last year we were in a lawsuit because of the lack of transparency and that we had to make sure that everything we do is above board … this whole process has been tainted from the very beginning. You have members of council that had personal reasons for drawing the districts. They have manipulated the lines and it is the very definition of gerrymandering."
Interim City Manager Frank Parker said after the second public hearing, the redistricting plan would undergo minor changes as a result of input received from council and the community, prior to being discussed in a work session immediately before City Council's meeting on Tuesday.
Map changes
The second map sent out Friday includes changes from the initial map in population of an additional 37 in Blitch's District 1, 111 in Gary Lewis's District 2 and an additional 164 in Riggs's District 4. Britt's District 3 is reduced by 203, while Chance's District 5 loses 109.
Map 2 takes some of the North Main constituents of Blitch and puts them in Lewis's district. Blitch gains areas across Northside Drive and into communities in Chance's district in Map 1. Britt gains some areas north of Savannah Avenue, but loses the Wendwood area to Riggs. Riggs also gained the area known as the Market District from Fair Road to Brampton Ave. Chance's district is the most oddly shaped and includes a sliver of a stretch along the bypass to keep his district contiguous.
"They have cut me down so far in Map 2 that I have a ditch, a ditch that connects me to another part of my district a half mile away," Chance said. "If that's not a bottleneck, gerrymandering situation, I don't know what it is."
Britt estimated that in Chance's district may have seen only a loss of 109 in population between proposed Map 1 and Map 2, but perhaps as many as 3,000 residents were shifted either in or out when looking at the changes.
Riggs said he is OK with the changes proposed in Map 2 for his district.
"I had requests to include Wendwood and I like the Fourth district going all the way to Brampton Avenue. I had some business owners in that area express their hope that they would be in my district, so I tried to accommodate them," he said. "I did my best to get everyone in my district to get input into it."
Vote Tuesday
A vote Tuesday is needed because a second reading and vote is required to pass changes to district lines and that is scheduled for June 21. For the redistricting changes to be in place for the Nov. 8 city election, the city must receive approval from the US Department of Justice for the changes and the new proposed map must be submitted by the end of the month.
Britt, Chance and Riggs said if that deadline is not met, the current district boundaries would remain in place for the election. Britt, Chance and Lewis face re-election in November.
Riggs said he would consider both maps at Tuesday's council meeting.
"I am comfortable voting on the issue Tuesday because we have two readings," he said. "If after the first reading, people in my district call me and say 'John we have serious misgivings about it,' then we'll look at it again."
But Chance and Britt said only Map 1 should be considered.
"I was anticipating that since we were doing everything we could to be transparent and be up front with the community, and since Map 1 was the only map the public was privy to and was the only map shown to the public at two work sessions, I was under the impression that map was the only one under consideration," Chance said. "But we've had two to three weeks of certain elected officials tweaking their districts to suit them and not suit the community. We're going to have to discuss a map that never should even be brought up."
"I think Map 1," Britt said. "I'm not sure the districts drawn in Map 2 accurately reflects the wishes of the citizens. I would have to support Map 1 based on the fact Map 1 is the one that's been advertised and shown out there to the public."
Lewis said he hasn't studied the changes closely yet in Map 2, but he was leaning to Map 1.
"I want to hear the discussion Tuesday and study Map 2 more closely," Lewis said. "I'll make a decision then."
A work session inside council chambers of City Hall for the council and public to ask questions about the second proposed map is scheduled for Tuesday morning at 8:30, 30 minutes prior to the regular meeting at 9.
"The work session is just lip service to the public just to say they did it," Chance said.

When adding an item into your cart, there will be a space for additional information, you should tell us in details how you want it and you can also upload picture references. We will try our best to get your preferred options.
WHAT DOES HIGHLIGHT MIXED COLORS MEANS?
It means you want a plain or mixed colored braids on almost the whole of your wig, but you want a very little amount of a different color of braids on the wig. Most people prefer the highlights at the front of the wig on one side.
WHAT DOES 2 TONE COLOR MEANS?
It means you want a different color to start your braids and end with another different color.
HOW DO I DETERMINE MY WIG CAP SIZE?
All of our wigs comes with an elastic band that fits almost all head sizes. Also, if you want extra security, you can add that you want an extra band in your preference. But, if you want to be sure and accurate about getting your perfect size, please, refer to our wig size chart section under product details, for full details of how to get your head measurement.
I MEASURED MY HEAD AND IT FALLS IN BETWEEN 2 SIZES. WHICH DO I PICK?
It is advisable to pick the higher size because your wig naturally comes with an elastic adjustable band to fit almost all head sizes. Let's assume you fall in between M & L, you could pick L.
I RECEIVED MY WIG BUT IT'S NOT STRAIGHT, HOW DO I FIX THIS?
Due to the fact that we packed the wig before it got to you, it's normal for your wig to be in that condition. However, it will stretch back ones taken out of the bag. But if you don't seem satisfied with it, refer to our wig maintenance section under product details, for more information about how to care for your braided wig when new.
HOW LONG DOES THIS WIG LAST FOR?
The life span of the wig will depend on how you use and care for your wig with the type of product you use on it and how often you wear it. The wig's life span could last for 18-30 months or more. Please refer to wig maintenance section under product details for details on how to maintain your wig.

Yes, you can. Please, refer to wig maintenance under product details for more information.
HOW DO I DETERMINE THICKNESS AND DENSITY I WANT COMPARED TO THE ONES DISPLAYED ON YOUR PAGE?
Please refer to our density and thickness, under product details.
DO YOU BLEACH YOUR KNOTS?
Yes, it is optional on the drop down menu when selecting options for your wig and it's free.
HOW DO I DETERMINE MY PREFERRED LENGTH SIZE?
Lengths are sectioned into ranges. An example, (11-13)inches shoulder length, simply means if your wig falls between that length, then, you have chosen the shoulder length. Please, refer to length under the product details section. Write a note underneath your order for your desired length not included in options.
WHY IS MY WIG MORE FULL AT THE FRONT?
Based on practice, a standard braided wig shouldn't be overweighted on the head. So, more focus is given to the front as compared to the lower back. The front is usually braided to be fuller than the back to cover all for full total coverage. Regardless, all strands are spread out evenly. A Braid Wig is different from an ordinary unbraided wig.
DON'T YOU BRAID ROUND THE EDGES?
A wig is much more different from the human hair. The round edges are the elastic tape that holds the head tight in order for the wigs to be easily worn to fit and hold the head tightly. Based on normal practice, if you are expecting every hole of the wig cap to be braided, especially the side-back edges, we don't do that. Except you ordered your wig using a 360 lace frontal or Full lace.

In today's world, everyone of us has a strong indulgence for being the fashionista of our own kind. And it's all because of the sole fact that fashion is now one of the biggest talk of the town! But, we end up breaking our banks most of the times to stay up-to-the-minute. It's because being fashionable and sticking to a fixed budget at the same time is something which seems to be quite challenging.
However, if you're ready to make a little effort then it's certainly possible to upgrade your closet with all the fashion for a fraction of the cost. So, having an exciting shopping experience from the leading high-street stores like Pink Boutique. can be much more interesting and budget-friendly!!
In that context, if you love to be in style but are worried about overspending then you should follow these ways which are mentioned below and save your pounds while having the top-notch brands in both, your closet and arena.
I think it's no harm to wait a couple of weeks or so to have a glimpse of your favourite designer apparels in those sale racks. Well, we all want to buy the premium quality and extremely fashionable branded attires, accessories etc. But it can be yet more worth if we can get them by paying just a few bucks! So, wait for the right time and purchase your desired fashion artefacts when there are some highly lucrative sales going on in the stores with the renowned names like New Look.
Colour is something which is extremely paramount when it's about fashion. You should stick with tight colours if you want a trendy look for yourself. There is no need to wear an expensive white t-shirt or a designer pink top always. You can rather go for the not so costly dresses having the deceptive colours. On doing that, you can have a wide and affordable variety to choose from for your different outfit choices.
Whether you're buying online or in-store, you can see that various celebrated fashion store like Amazon, Debenhams etc. offer different types of thrilling and interesting features through which you can save your bucks. You can opt for a newsletter sign up, on doing which you'll get all the discount updates and specific money saving code in your mailbox. Besides, there are various other vouchers, deals, gift cards etc. which keep on going. So, you should have a keen look on all these and grab the perfect opportunity in the correct time.
When you're into any fashion-store to purchase some of your fashion-needs, you can notice some tags which say ' only dry clean', don't go for these. It's because if you have to give a dress to a dry cleaner after each use, then it will certainly drain your bank in the long run. Instead, go for such type which can be washed easily by machine.
Obviously knowledge is the power! And if you read the fashion magazines you can be updated about the current trend and also the bestsellers from the various top and modish stores like Mark and Spencer. You can know very well that whether a particular dress, accessory or anything else which you want to buy is on-trend or not and can decide accordingly. And moreover, you just have to pay a few bucks to buy a fashion magazine rather than spending hundreds of pounds to attend a fashion-parade.
So, do you still think that for being in vogue you've to spend huge bucks? Just follow these facts and snap up your saving while being chic as well as stylish and make all the eyes glare at you when you step down the streets.


If You're like me you feel both exhilarated and Overwhelmed by the booming cannabis market. The reality is, there are a lot of opportunities but it's extremely important to get an education and career plan before embarking on your journey to the cannabis space.
If you are in a state at which cannabis has not been legalized Yet, it might seem like the door of opportunity was closed on youpersonally, but as individuals in"lawful" states will inform you, there is an ocean of opportunities for those who have the right education and mindset.
Get ready to see cannabis company owners roll their eyes if you said that you were"self-taught" about cannabis.
