Assenmacher Bicycle Company switches ownership after decades
GENESEE COUNTY, MI – A longtime Flint-area business is switching ownership.
Assenmacher Bicycle Company started in 1977 founded by Matt Assenmacher.
Located at 1272 W. Hill Road in Mundy Township, Assenmacher told MLive-The Flint Journal that the company is handing over the reigns to Trek Bicycle, a global leader in the design and manufacture of bicycles and related products.
He said Trek will continue making Assenmacher's Bicycle an integral component in the Flint area, starting in early spring.
"I'm soon to be 73 years old and I've been at it for over 50 years," Assenmacher said. "It's time."
Assenmacher is planning to do more bike riding, traveling and personal projects after the ownership change.
He has always loved riding bikes and trained at the internationally known Bob Jackson Cycles in Leeds, England in the early 1970s.
Under the guidance of master frame builder Danny Foster, Assenmacher learned the traditional English frame building skills and design practices.
"In the early 1970s was the first bicycle boom of the 20th century and there was a lot of interest," he said. "For the longest time, bikes in the United States were regulated to a toy type of thing. And the bicycle evolved over in Europe through racing and long distance riding, and that's what led me over there."
The Assenmacher bicycle shop originally started in Mt. Pleasant in 1974 building custom frames.
In 1977, the frame shop was moved to Swartz Creek for its first retail store and during the late 1980s through the early 2000s the company expanded to three locations in Genesee County.
All of the operations and repair shop are now located in Mundy Township.
"We were building the Assenmacher brand of custom bicycles in Mt. Pleasant and we were getting a lot of publicity," Assenmacher said about why he started a business. "I wanted to open up a retail store to capitalize on that notoriety and advertising."
Trek Bicycle will lease the Mundy Township building from Assenmacher moving forward, with the amount of years not yet determined.
"After working with Trek for years, we're confident they'll take what we've created here and build on it, continuing to serve our community with the same core principles of treating people like family and delivering outstanding customer service," Assenmacher said.
In the weeks leading up to the official switch over to Trek, a lot of the inventory inside of Assenmacher Bicycles will be between 30% to 50% off.
"We'd like to thank each and every one of you for helping to make this place what it is, and for continuing to make us such a special part of the community," Assenmacher said.

News: Dev Reaches Out & Sympathises With Pirates; Gives Away Free Steam Keys via Pirate Bay
Posted on November 21, 2014 by Chris Harding
Here's something you don't read everyday; a game developer reaching out to pirates who are illegally downloading their game, conversing with said pirates and then offering out free Steam key's via The Pirate Bay's comments section.
The Games Cabin has learned that one of the developers behind the well received PC title This War of Mine has been actively engaging with the pirating community, even sympathising with them and offering out free Steam keys via the comments section of the worlds most notorious pirating website.
The developer going under the name Karol_11bit wrote the following message to the pirates:
It's Karol from 11 bit studios, the developers of This War of Mine.
We are really happy to hear that you like our game. They prove, that spending 2 years on it was worth it.
I would like to say thank you to everyone, who decides to buy the game and support us – because of that we'll be able to develop TWoM further and create even better games in the future.
If because of some reasons you can't buy the game, it's ok. We know life, and we know, that sometimes it's just not possible.
Here are some codes for the steam copy of the game, so some of you can take a look at it. And if you like the game after spending few hours in, then just spread the word, and you'll help us a lot.
It's an unusual move by the developer, but it seems to have gained 11bit some respect from those who saw the messages with many thanking the developer for reaching out to them. It's a far cry from Far Cry 4's director calling out pirates on twitter, though he did make a fair point.
This War of Mine is a little different from most games in that you don't play as a soldier with the ability to withstand huge damage whilst firing 500 rounds of freedom a second, instead you play as a group of civilians who are living day-to-day with the constant struggles of war. It's an interesting concept and the game has been extremely well received on Steam where most users have nothing but praise for the game.
What do you make of this? Should developers be communicating more with pirates? Let us know down in the comments section below.
Unfortunately we can't link back to the website mentioned in the article, but if you're a savy internet user then you'll be able to find your way their.

Q: Error while previewing SSRS Reports in VS2017 with Custom Assemblies We're trying to migrate our old Reporting Services solution from Visual Studio 2008 with Business Intelligenge Studio, to Visual Studio 2017 with SQL Server Data Tools. The reports in the project are referencing a custom assembly for localization of the reports. And that custom assembly project is part of the solution.
As with VS2008, for the reports project to be able to be built, the custom assembly needs to be built and placed in the Private Assemblies folder for VS, no worries there.
But when I try to preview the reports in VS, it still gives this error

Error while loding code modue: MyCompany.MyDllName, Version=1.2.3.4.
  Details: Could not load file or assembly MyCompany.MyDllName,
  Version=1.2.3.4, or one of it's depencies. The system cannot find the
  file specified.

I have checked that the file does exist in the Private Assemblies folder, and that the version number matches the one referenced in the reports.
Where do I need to place the file for the preview view to be able to find it? And how can it be different from where I need to place them for the reports to build?

A: After struggling with a similar issue (but not for custom assemblies) for days, this post helped solve the problem.  In my case I was getting the error

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportDesign.Common, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken-89845dcd8080cc91'

when trying to run the ReportViewer from the IDE, after installing Visual Studio 2017 (15.6.6) and SQL Server Data Tools - Visual Studio 2017 (version 14.0.16162.0 in control panel, version 15.1.61801.210 in the VS 2017 "Help/About..." - at this point I've given up on understanding Microsoft versioning).
Copying the DLL from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\Reporting Services

to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\SSRS (different target path than noted in previous posts)
resolved the problem.

A: Error in Preview of rdl reports in vs 2017:
If your VS version is Enterprise then copy your assembly to this path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\SSDTRS

And if the version is Professional use this path instead:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\SSDTRS

Error in Building reports project in vs 2017:
If your VS version is Enterprise then copy your assembly to this path:

Democrats beat Republicans 11 to 2 in the 108th annual Congressional Baseball game last night before a record-breaking crowd of 25,000 Members of Congress, White House officials, hill staffers, fans and members of the media.
The victory was secondary, however, to the unified spirit of the occasion, dedicated to those that weren't there - the victims of Wednesday's tragic shooting in Alexandria, Virginia, where a lone gunman opened fire on Republican Members of Congress who were practicing for the game.
The shooter, who was killed in the crossfire by Capitol Hill police who were on hand for security, critically wounded House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), and injured two officers, a lobbyist and hill staffer.
Founded in 1909, the Congressional Baseball Game is an annual event that Members of Congress and fans look forward to - as the one occassion when House and Senate members of each party put aside partisan politics and play baseball in a friendly competition to raise money for charity.
Members, sporting the uniforms of their home states, raised an unprecedented $1.5 million for The Washington Literacy Center, The Boys and Girls Club of Greater DC, and the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation.
There was never a question about canceling the game and succumbing to the fear instilled by this gunman or any other larger threat. Both teams were determined to play in the spirit of support for the victims, and in defiance of the shooting; and thousands flocked to National's stadium in agreement.
The memorable moments of the game were not in the plays, but in the mood of the night, and the acts of comradery on the field.
The game began with a bipartisan prayer on the field, followed by the opening ceremonial pitch by Capitol Police officer David Bailey, who was one of those injured in the shooting. Bailey, who was on crutches, threw a ball given to him from former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre.
At the close of their winning ball game Congressman Mike Doyle (D-PA), the Democrats' manager, gave the trophy to Congressman Joe Barton (R-Tx), who was leading the Republicans, to put in Congressman Scalise's office while he recovers from his injuries.
The evening also brought the good news that Scalise had successfully made it through three surgeries, although still in critical, but improved condition.
Many are hoping the spirit of bipartisan unity will transfer to the Capitol as Members of Congress return next week. For now, enjoy the reprieve and the weekend!

Q: Getting stripe gateway to accept a variable as a amount for charge Hi I have a variable called $total which is set from a hidden field in a form on another page
$total = $_POST['myHiddenValue'];

In Stripe I'm attempting to use this variable as an amount parameter
  Stripe_Charge::create(array(
                            "amount" => $total,
                            "currency" => "gbp",
                            "card" => $_POST['stripeToken']));

this throws an error of 'missing amount param'
if I set $total before hand as:
$total = 5000;

it works but I don't want to hard code in a amount.
using below doesn't work either, it throws and 'Invalid positive integer' error
"amount" => (int)$total,
Does anyone know Stripe well to offer me some help.
thanks

A: 'amount' is in cents and should be an integer and not a decimal.
$Total = '50.43';
'amount' => $Total*100,

When a new index is added to an existing entity classes that already has instances in the database, it cannot be used in queries, because it starts empty and unsynchronized with the existing primary data.
The Index Rebuilder tool will enable rebuilding indexes, synchronizing their data with the primary data. As a workaround, you can currently use the ObjectDB Doctor to build a new database file, in which such new indexes will be enabled.
Version 2.6.6 introduces a built in automatic builder of new indexes, which is enabled by default.
When using ObjectDB 2.6.6 (or above), ObjectDB automatically activates new indexes by indexing existing entity objects in the background.


The biomagnification of the cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) and dodecamethylcyclohexatetrasiloxane (D6) was analyzed in the Lake Mjosa food web in Norway from zooplankton and Mysis to planktivorous and piscivorous fish. The trophic magnification factor (TMF) for D5 was determined and compared with TMFs of several legacy contaminants: polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners 153 and 180, polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners 47 and 99, and p,p'-DDE. D5 showed TMF significantly greater than 1, implying food web biomagnification (TMF = 2.28, CI: 1.22-4.29). This contrasts with two studies that reported TMF < 1, which may reflect variability in TMF between food webs. The Lake Mjosa D5 TMF was sensitive to the species included at the higher trophic level; whole food web TMF differed from TMF excluding smelt (Osmerus eperlanus) or brown trout (Salmo trutta) (TMF-SMELT = 1.62, CI: 0.96-2.72; TMF-TROUT = 3.58, CI: 1.82-7.03). For legacy contaminants (e.g., PCB-153 and PCB-180), the TMFs were less sensitive to the food web composition, and a better model fit was obtained compared to D5. The differences in biomagnification behavior between D5 and the legacy contaminants suggest that the biomagnification of D5 is being governed by species-specific properties such as biotransformation rate or tissue distribution that differ from those of legacy contaminants.

Link Seen Between Hardening of Arteries, Alzheimer's Plaques
By ariannawmd on October 16, 2013
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 16Elderly people with hardening of the arteries are more likely to have brain plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease, a new study says.
The study included 91 people, average age 87, who did not have dementia and underwent scans to assess any beta-amyloid plaques in their brains. The degree of stiffness of their arteries was checked about two years later.
Half of the participants had brain plaques and these people were more likely to have high systolic blood pressure (the top number that shows the amount of pressure on blood vessels when the heart beats), higher average blood pressure and greater arterial stiffness.
For every unit increase in arterial stiffness, people were twice as likely to have beta-amyloid plaques in the brain. Arterial stiffness was highest in people who had both amyloid plaques and lesions in their brain's white matter, according to the study published online Oct. 16 in the journal Neurology.
"This is more evidence that cardiovascular health leads to a healthy brain," study author Timothy Hughes, of the University of Pittsburgh, said in a journal news release.
He noted that the link between arterial stiffness and brain plaques did not change when regular resting blood pressure was taken into account.
"This study adds to growing evidence that hardening of the arteries is associated with cerebrovascular disease that does not show symptoms. Now we can add Alzheimer's-type lesions to the list," Hughes said.
Although the study found an association between hardening of the arteries and levels of Alzheimer's-related brain plaque in older adults, it did not establish cause and effect.
The American Academy of Family Physicians has more about hardening of the arteries.


It all started 2 weeks ago, when my friend found out that his business is headed for bankruptcy abruptly, due to some foul play by his business partner.
The business partner embezzled all liquidated funds from the business and went into hiding, and this caused the small company to go into very serious debt, much too swiftly and unexpectedly for my friend to be able to come up with a solution to handle it.
All of a sudden, the debtors, somehow realising the situation, are coming after him and pressing him to pay up, while the creditors are evading contact and payment, causing the problem to just go from bad to worse.
So far my friend has forked out every dollar he has, and yet he still cannot cope with and resolve this issue.
Very very unfortunately, the stress and deep anxiety he has been experiencing from being faced with this traumatic double-crossing and betrayal, has likely brought on the breakdown of his general health.
My friend has always been a hard worker, devoting much time and effort to his business, to the point of neglecting his health and well-being.
Now, with this situation, other than the fact that my friend is about to lose his business, his house, etc, my friend has started to encounter severe and acute medical issues.
Without warning, he started to bleed excessively and uncontrollably when he moves his bowels, and though he is worried, and as friends we have tried to advise him to seek medical help, my friend would not yield and seek out a doctor, as he feels that he really cannot spare the funds to seek medical treatment, preferring to keep his money to pay up the money he owes to the debtors first.
What makes things worse is that we can see that my friend is losing faith and hope, and is slowly spiraling into depression, as he cannot seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
My friend has always devoted his life to others' happiness and well being, always generous in reaching out his helping hands to others when others are in need. We want to be able to do the same for him, now that he is in serious need of help.
So here I am pleading to everyone to PLEASE help by donating some funds. Any amount will go a long way to help him with his financial and emotional burden. Please help me in showing him that there is yet HOPE and HUMANITY in this World. PLEASE HELP…. Thank you.

An outstanding opportunity to have young adults working for your organization, or interested young adults you may be working with to be trained by NAMI NH in the CONNECT Suicide Prevention model. Ideally young adults (18-25) should sign up in pairs to be trained in this train-the-trainer opportunity to become CONNECT trainers and bring this training to other young adults in the Greater Manchester Region. This 2-day training to become CONNECT trainers is free, but space is limited, so please sign up asap to reserve your spot(s)!
To access a list of our general information, programs, and other resources involving e-cigarettes and vaping, go to MIH Resources.
The latest thing to be watching for? Students using toothpicks!
They are called "Nic Picks" and they are nicotine infused toothpicks, and are a smaller and harder to detect way for youth to be using nicotine. These small toothpicks claim to have as much nicotine as three cigarettes and have a buzz that can last up to 45 minutes. They were originally on the market as a Nicotine Replacement Product used by adults trying to quit smoking. However, they are accessible online and several stores in New Hampshire making it easy for them to get in the wrong hands.
So be sure to keep an eye out as student's are using these throughout the school day.
If you've been following our work with young adults, you may notice a name change here! Young adults attending our monthly Young Adult Advisory Committee Meetings brainstormed last month about a way to make the name of our meetings — where we discuss living healthy in Greater Manchester, share dinner provided by MIH, and plan healthy events for young adults (18-26) to meet, connect, and network outside of the "bar scene" — a bit more reflective of our group. Welcome to Young Adult Movement — Empowering the young adult voice.
This group is open to all young adults 18-26 living in the Greater Manchester region. Please see the flyer for more information — and come check out Young Adult Movement for yourself!

Waxwork Records reanimating full Night of the Living Dead soundtrack for the first time

Waxwork Records is going very old school this Halloween with the double vinyl release of the soundtrack for George A. Romero's 1968 zombie classic, Night of the Living Dead, which celebrates its 50th birthday this month. This is also the first time that the film's full soundtrack will be available in its complete form.
Directed and co-written by Romero, Night of the Living Dead is considered to be the granddaddy of all zombie movies, having influenced the undead genre for the last five decades. Made on a budget of a meager $114,000, the film went on to make a total of $30 million. And it's not just the flesh-and-brain-eating ghouls that owe a debt of gratitude to the movie, but the entire horror genre. That's why the Library of Congress' National Film Registry deemed it "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant."

Interestingly, the music used for the feature was not an original score written by a composer, but a number of generic library tracks that appeared in other movies and TV shows. Once chosen, these cues were edited, enhanced, and remixed in post-production for a more eerie sound. It was like the horror equivalent of the American Graffiti soundtrack, which was a collection of other artists' established and classic songs from the '50s and early '60s.
This Night of the Living Dead project, however, took three years of Waxwork collaborating with the still-living members of Image Ten (Romero's independent production company that made the film) to track down all of the music, some of which was thought to be lost or destroyed forever. In the end, all of it was located and remastered, resulting in the movie's first-ever definitive soundtrack collection.
You can already listen to four tracks at the SoundCloud embed below:
The double-LP (in "Ghoul Green" no less!) comprises 48 tracks and goes on sale on Oct. 31 (yes, Halloween) for $40 a pop. That includes two records made of 180 gram vinyl; new artwork from the mind of Robert Sammelin; a booklet with never-before-seen production photos; insights from Daniel Kraus, co-author of The Shape of Water's novelization with director Guillermo del Toro; and insights from the movie's sound engineer, Gary Streiner, an original founding member of Image Ten.
On a different note, Waxwork also announced a Haunting of Hill House double vinyl release for the same day. This one contains 27 tracks of the score composed by The Newton Brothers and only costs $35 a pop. The color of this vinyl is described as a "'Haunted' Green and Blue swirl."

Also, I know that this is a Stupid Question but I will ask it anyway.....Who are Lady Vic, Knightfall, Enigma, and Joker's Daughter (I never knew that he had a daughter) ?
anthonyrocks 1) Lady Vic is an Englishwoman turned mercenary.
2) Knightfall is actually more of a Batgirl villain and is kind of similar to Huntress: she's a rich vigilante with no qualms about harming criminals.
3) Enigma is the Riddler's daughter and an enemy of the Teen Titans.
4) Joker's Daughter is actually Two Face's daughter (her name is Duela Dent). She's no less crazy though.


In a word – Olathe, Kansas is beautiful. Indeed, "Olathe" is the Shawnee Indian word for beautiful. Located in northeastern Kansas with a population of more than 125,000, it is the fourth largest city in the Kansas City metropolitan area and just west of Overland Park. Olathe, located just 20 miles southwest of downtown Kansas City, was once a stop on the Oregon Trail, the California Trail, and the Santa Fe Trail. If you visit this fine community, you can still enjoy stagecoach rides, Civil War re-enactments, and other activities.
Olathe provides its residents a lifestyle of exceptional quality with its attractive and well-planned neighborhoods. Olathe's Fire and Police Departments are among the finest in the state and its school system is one of the best in the nation. Olathe is popular area for hot air ballooning and sailboarding. The city has two public lakes: Olathe Lake and Cedar Lake. In Olathe, the outdoor recreation activities available include running, bicycling, fishing, boating, and team sports.
The City's Parks and Recreation Department maintains year-round activities including music, dance, sports, health and fitness programs for all ages. Baseball diamonds, tennis courts and fitness trails exist throughout the city, as well as four public outdoor swimming pools. Due to the excellent quality of life offered in this community, the number of people looking to call this community home continues to increase.
The reality is if you do suffer incapacity at some point in your life, whether permanent or temporary, but you do not have a plan, it is very likely that a court-appointed guardian will be necessary. Besides being very expensive, a guardian will result in relinquishing control of your financial and health care matters entirely. In order to avoid the need for a guardian, you need to have an estate plan. Your estate planning attorney can help you get started. If you have questions regarding planning for death, incapacity, or any other estate planning matters, contact Gaughan & Connealy for a consultation either online or by calling us at (913) 262-2000.

The network "Atlantic Cities" was founded on July 7, 2000 by Mr Edmond Hervé (then Mayor of the city of Rennes). During the first General Assembly, the Rennes Declaration was signed, with the aim of creating a network of the communities placed by the façade of the Atlantic Ocean and cooperating between members. This international association is in direct dialogue with European institutions, as well as with other territorial cooperation organizations, such as the Atlantic Arc Commission.
The network was inicially named The Conference of Atlantic Arc Cities (CAAC)
Various political figures are linked to the platform, in particular the Mayors of the participant local authorities. We can also mention Bernard Cazeneuve, former French Prime Minister who joined with the city of Cherbourg or Jean-Marc Ayrault, former French Prime Minister, who was also part as President of Nantes Métropole and founder with Edmond Hervé. Representatives such as Íñigo de la Serna, former Mayor of Santander and former Spanish Minister of Public Works, and António Costa, former Mayor of Lisboa and current Portuguese Prime Minister, have been members of the association. The network has also surrounded itself with numerous national and European Parliament Members who participate and intervene in the events.
The creation of network: Under the chairmanship of Mr Edmond Hervé from 2000 to 2003, former Mayor of Rennes, former minister and deputy, and current Senator of Ille et Vilaine
Given the gradual displacement of Europe towards the east of the continent, Edmond Hervé had the idea of forming this organization to emerge as "an actor of territorial development policies concerning the Atlantic Arc" and "to frame their actions in the new programs of the European Union". The aim was also to develop policies regarding the accessibility of cities, social cohesion, sustainable urban development, etc., boosting at the same time an Atlantic urban model and a balanced organization of the European space.
In 2002, the network published a briefing about its development strategy. It envisaged a European orientation with several centres of decisions, that is, a will of polycentrism. Priorities for 2002 and 2003 were the reinforcement of the Atlantic network, its appreciation from external partners and the implementation of common projects.
During the 2002 General Assembly in Cardiff, the municipalities submitted several proposals to the European authorities so that the future reform of European regional policy would give more importance to the urban phenomenon. In July 2002, the Atlantic cities committed to executing an Atlantic Urban Project. In this context, the cities have developed an Atlantic Urban Information System.
The first Secretary General was Xavier Gizard, for a period of 9 years. He was also Secretary General of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe (CPMR).
From 2003 to 2005, the first projects under the presidency of Mrs Paz Fernández Felgueroso, former Mayor of Gijón, former Counsellor for Industry, Trade and Tourism of the Principality of Asturias and former Secretary of State for communication
In 2004, the priority is given to the territorial dialogue. Contributing to the meeting with the European Commission, the Atlantic Cities showed its willingness to enforce territorial dialogue to work more closely with the Commission. On the one hand, the network requested that the modalities of this dialogue be improved in order to allow an effective exchange with the Commission. On the other hand, the association insisted on the importance of listening local entities' opinions, expectations and demands. Furthermore, Atlantic cities supported the proposals submitted to the European Cohesion Forum in May 2004 to tackle the challenges of competitiveness and internal cohesion of the European Union. Besides, Mrs Felgueroso negotiated partnership agreements with other European networks. Three partnership agreements were signed with the Atlantic Arc Commission, the Western Atlantic Universities Network and the Union of Baltic Cities.
Regarding the projects, two were launched in 2003: The Revita project which allowed the innovative rehabilitation of obsolete industrial areas and also the Cultur*at project, which promoted the cultural identity of Atlantic Cities. In 2004, following the Atlantic Net project in the field of efficient and sustainable transport, a Forum will be created. It brings together small Atlantic companies working in the Information Society.
Fernández's mandate was also marked by an initiative under the Prince program: Citizens Awareness Project on the Issues of European Construction.
Defence of the urban dimension: Mr Rodney Berman, former City Leader of the Cardiff Council, President from 2005 to 2007
Thanks to his work with the British Presidency of the European Union, Rodney Berman has allowed the crossing of a new stage in the promotion of the network and the recognition of the essential role of cities in Europe.
At the General Assembly in Cork in 2005, the cities adopted the proposals of the Vade-mecum about the Structural Funds on European Cohesion Policy of EU, as a model to promote the debate on regional operational programs in their territories. In December 2005, the Atlantic Cities in the person of Mr. Rodney Berman brought his expertise on the Bristol Agreement. The subject of the agreement is the union of Europe in building sustainable communities. The areas concerned are employment, the economy, social justice and generally improving the quality of life of Europeans.
Between 2005 and 2007, a political position paper issued by the members of the association demonstrated a real desire for cohesion to the European institutions. The aim was to defend a regional policy for the entire European territory. Between 2005 and 2008, under the leadership of Chester, the SPAA project focused on the promotion of the territory and the economic development of cities and regions of the Atlantic Arc.
A new strategy for sustainable development: Mr Xosé Sánchez Bugallo, President from 2007 to 2009, Mayor of Santiago de Compostela
In 2008, the network adopted the Charter of San Sebastián, which advocates the model of green economy as a prototype for the future of Atlantic cities, through the definition of a clean concept of sustainable urban development. Such Charter gives new orientations to the organisation and was signed by the Mayors and Presidents of the cities on the European Atlantic Arc, at Donostia-San Sebastián during the association's General Assembly.
The network participated in international discussions on climate change negotiations. In the context of the drafting of the Green Paper on territorial cohesion of the Committee of the Regions, the association made its particular contributions on public transports in 2007, on services of general interest in 2008 and on territorial cohesion in 2009. That year, Eleni Marianou became Secretary-General for a period of 2 years. On the initiative of Mrs Tamara Espiñeira, the network published in 2009 The Baltic Strategy: a mirror for the Atlantic Ocean, a document illustrating the will to be part of the development of the European regional cooperation between territories. Atlantic urban centres and actors claimed for the drawing of a particular integrated strategy for their geographical space, through a document submitted by Mr Sánchez Bugallo in Santiago de Compostela and entitled Elements for an urban vision of Atlantic cooperation.
In 2008, the Aapublicserv project, on the theme of sustainable construction of public services, was working until 2012, leaded by San Sebastián and Cardiff. UNIC was set up by Sevilla for a period of 3 years, with the objective of protecting the heritage of Cities, and defense of the jobs of companies and their know-how.
Carrying a voice to the European Union: Presidency of Mr Philippe Duron from 2009 to 2013, former Mayor of Caen and former deputy
Thanks to Mr. Philippe Duron, then Mayor of Caen, the Atlantic Arc Commission and the Atlantic Cities gathered in a common effort: an Atlantic macro-region. Presidencies of both organizations met them in September 2010 with the Spanish Presidency of the European Council, proposing a similar model to the Baltic territorial cooperation. In June 2010, regions and cities published "Orientations for an integrated strategy for the Atlantic Arc" for the purpose of preserving and promoting Atlantic territories and demonstrating the relevance of a macro-regional strategy for the Atlantic Arc. Then, on behalf of Atlantic cities, the network wrote a "Response to the European Commission's Public Consultation on an Integrated Maritime Policy for the Atlantic Ocean Basin".
Also in 2010, Atlantic Arc Cities established with its partners the European platform "Conference of European Cross-Border and Interregional City Networks" (CECICN), in Santiago de Compostela, with Mr Xosé Bugallo as first President. In February 2011, the Atlantic Association contributed to the European Commission's Communication on the Atlantic Strategy, whose contents and themes reflected the initiatives which the network had recommended for more than ten years. The Atlantic Maritime Strategy was adopted that year. A Coruña hosted a European conference on smart cooperation, to highlight the importance of cooperation between towns and regions. In 2012, Charles Nicol was appointed Secretary-General until 2015. Also in 2012, the Atlantic City of the Year Competition was created and Brest was elected in 2013.
During the last period of Mr Philippe Duron's Presidency, in 2013, the network wrote various position documents addressed to the European Union, bearing in mind its presence at key Forums in Brussels, like the future of Cohesion Policy.
The network continued its territorial analysis through diverse documents, such as Contribution of Atlantic Cities to the call for suggestions about key research and investment priorities, which proposed the priority lines of action of the Atlantic Strategy. Or the common document of the cities with the Atlantic Arc Commission, the Atlantic Transnational Network (RTA) and the Association of the Chambers of Agriculture of the Atlantic Arc (AC3A). In such way, these entities sent to the European Commission a proposal of creating a platform to coordinate and support the Atlantic Strategy.
Numerous projects were launched from 2009 to 2012. First of all, we can mention Anatole, a commitment for the development of local economy; LC FACIL, to facilitate the implementation of the Leipzig Charter (adopted in 2007) or Imagina Atlantica, in the field of image and digital skills.
Then in 2011, several projects were also implemented: Toneta, a city-network aiming at shaping an urban strategy by promoting Atlantic networks; then Action Catalist, a project on soft mobility and framed in Catalist Programme; SITE as well, for the development of intelligent transport tickets, and the Santiago-Une project which had the theme of "The road to Santiago: uniting, bringing together and motivating European citizens since the Middle Ages". Finally, in 2012, Prevent and Jobtown were launched: the former about early school dropout, and the latter to boost professional insertion and employment for the youth.
Projection towards the future and the role within European Funds: Under the presidency of Mr Carlos Negreira from 2013 to 2015, former Mayor of A Coruña
In parallel with the constant efforts within the European institutions, in July 2013, the General assembly took place in Saint-Nazaire, where M. Carlos Negreira, then Mayor of A Coruña was elected President. At this reunion, it was suggested to look over identity with the objective of facing challenges of the new programming period 2014-2017. Thus, a Strategic Plan was set up to envisage new means to communicate this mission and make it more attractive for citizens, members and potential adhesions.
In 2015, the Conference presented the Atlantic Urban Strategy according to needs anticipated in the Charter of San Sebastián. In this context, the Atlantic Urban Strategy aims at coordinating different European, national and transnational policies from a common territorial approach. Some fundamental factors to implement such Strategy are, among others, the urban dimension of development, the multi-governance, cooperation, the promotion of Atlantic Arc's potential and the joint response to collective problems. Also in 2015, Mrs Luisa Cid, Deputy Major of A Coruña, was appointed Secretary-General for a one-year period.
Concerning the projects, AT Brand was launched in 2014, on innovation in the fields of promotion and attractiveness strategies for Atlantic cities, as well as the Atlantic Blue Tech project, on the initiative of Brest Métropole and the Technopôle with the aim of promoting and developing the sector of bio-marine resources. Moreover, Anatole and Imagina Atlantica projects were extended.
Development plans for territorial continuity: Under the current presidency of Mr José Maria Costa since July 2015, current President of the Portuguese delegation to the Committee of the Regions and Mayor of Viana do Castelo
During the period 2015-2016, the network participated in several international events, such as COP21 about fisheries for anticipating climate change, the two editions of the Urban European Forum or the Safer Seas event. Besides, the association took part as expert in other meetings about Investment Structural Funds and the Atlantic Strategy. In addition, it has contributed to the discussions about the European Urban Agenda, an initiative launched by the European Commission and approved by State members of the EU in the form of the Amsterdam Agreement on 30 May 2016.
After the General assembly of 2016, La Rochelle Declaration was adopted with the aim of completing the European Urban Agenda and expressing an opinion about the future of Cohesion policy. In this case, the platform proposed to include city-networks in relevant Monitoring Committees and to facilitate the participation of the citizens within European policies. A working group about Cohesion policy was indeed created with Cork City as coordinator. In cooperation with the European Committee of the Regions, the network organized in A Coruña in February 2017, a conference on the Atlantic Challenges on the eve of Brexit, resulting in the Declaration of A Coruña. The conclusions were published in a report sent to the Committee of the Regions and other European Institutions.
At the General Assembly held in April 2017 in Viana do Castelo, the network has established a roadmap for transatlantic cooperation, to open up to Atlantic African and American cities and, within the framework of Brexit, to reinforce collaboration and look for new partnerships with British cities. Citizens have also been protagonists of this Assembly, since members granted them a fundamental role as beneficiaries of European policies and active participants. Since 2016, the General-Secretariat is run by Mrs Tamara Espiñeira. That same year, the Atlantic Cities signed a partnership agreement with the Association for promotion of sustainable and responsible fishing, «BLUE FISH», and the Iberian Network of Cross-border Entities (RIET).
In the context of the first call for proposals of the Interreg V Atlantic Area Programme, the Atlantic urban network has managed and supported the drafting of around thirty projects. The AYCH project about youth entrepreneurships has been approved for three years, as well as Atlantic Social Lab and Atlantic Digital StartUps, among others. Concerning the Interreg V Europe Programme, EcoRIS3 project has also been confirmed. It is coordinated by San Sebastian and focuses on innovation.

The Holy Empire Westelande is a large empire in Japan's Elder Tale and one of the five territories of Yamato. Much of the area is controlled by Nureha, the guild master of Plant Hwyaden; Nureha managed to influence most of the nobles in the area into aiding her cause.
The Holy Empire Westelande is considered as the main rival territory to the Eastal League of Free Cities. Unlike the League, which recognizes the Cowen Clan as its link to the original royal lineage of the Imperial Dynasty, Westelande has the Itsuki Clan. Consequently, there is much conflict over who is the rightful rulers as both sides contain royal blood in their clans. In effect, Yamato is split down the middle between them.
Minami is the Player city in this area and houses the guild Plant Hwyaden. Unlike Akihabara and its Round Table Alliance, Plant Hwyaden has absorbed all other guilds and rulers as a singular entity. As a result, everyone, even the nobility of the Holy Empire Westelande must bow down to to this singular guild.
Politically, the Holy Empire Westelande holds more power than the Eastal League of Free Cities, though in economic terms, they are inferior, due to treaty the League had made with the Adventurers—although Plant Hwyaden had made such discoveries earlier, they made their gains off of exploiting Landers. This gave the League a far better bargaining position and a chance to advance themselves further. Because of this inequality, the nobles of Westelande attempted to disrupt the Round Table's Alliance's authority during the Libra Festival by causing numerous and random acts of confusion all over the city. The goal was to overwhelm the security and administration departments, thereby weakening the relationship between Akihabara and the League. The most noticeable act was Lord Marves suddenly bringing in 500 tons of cargo to be stored at Akihabara's warehouses, thinking that they were already stretched to their limits with all the other merchants at the festival. This act was aimed to discredit the Corwen Family and embarrass Princess Rayneshia.
However, this attempt ultimately failed as Shiroe successfully countered these random acts of confusion with equally spontaneous measures, such as using the female members of the West Wind Brigade to smooth over tensions. Furthermore, Marves had greatly underestimated the storage capacity of the warehouses owned by the Marine Organization, which could easily store shipments several times the size he had brought. In the end, Marves found himself outmaneuvered and had to withdraw with his pride severely injured.
With their ties to Plant Hwyaden, which controlled two Adventurer Cities in Yamato, the nobles and military leaders of Westelande planned on dragging the massive guild into a war against Eastal and their allies, the Round Table Alliance. Mizufa Trude, general of Westelande's armies, was especially eager for war and was given a go-ahead by Nureha to begin Operation Red Night. However, as luck would have her, the first area targeted by this operation was where Touya's Party had traveled to in order to acquire Wyvern Skins, with Nyanta trailing them to ensure their safety. Furthermore, Nureha herself had weaved her way into Touya's Party by disguising as Dariella. Seeing how Mizufa's operation was negatively affecting "Shiroe's kids," Nureha calls off the operation and orders all the Nightshades summoned by Westelande's Lander Summoners to be destroyed.
With the revelation of the Genius threat, a number of the Ten-Seat Council members are seeking an alliance with Eastal and Akiba. Nevertheless, some still vie for war, including Indicus.

My name is Ricardo Bordignon Medina. I'm a Brazilian citizen and a current Ph.D. candidate at the University of São Paulo's (USP) Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture, specifically in the Plant Physiology and Biochemistry Program. I'm also currently a visiting scholar at The Ohio State University, researching small fruits in controlled environments in the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science (HCS).
After receiving my B.Sc. in Agronomy from USP, I worked for a Brazilian company developing a methodology to estimate industry costs of orange juice production to be used as a price indicator for the minimum price paid for orange growers. Soon after, I began my M.Sc. in Horticulture researching blueberries grown in warm subtropical regions under modified environments.
Berry, including blueberries and raspberry, cultivars commonly grown in the subtropical region in Brazil do not need to undergo a cold winter to properly develop their flower buds, and subsequently break the dormancy for their normal growth and development to occur the following season. On the other hand, cultivars in Ohio and other temperate regions do have to undergo a cold period before they can break dormancy, flower and fruit properly.
Interested in furthering the research on small fruit production in non-traditional regions and off-season harvesting, I continued on to begin my Ph.D. program working with raspberries in warm subtropical regions of Brazil.
But in order to broaden my research to more temperate zones and the utilization of controlled environment production systems, I began looking for international partners with whom I could effectively advance this research.
Since August 2018, I've been at The Ohio State University as a research scholar developing and implementing a project focused on growing raspberries inside greenhouses under light-emitting diode (LED) lighting. This is a joint project between Dr. Gary Gao's fruit production systems research and Dr. Chieri Kubota's controlled environment research.
I was drawn to work at Ohio State when I initially came across a number of Dr. Gao's publications on small fruits. His work interested me, so I reached out to him expressing my interest in conducting my dissertation research with him.
The experiment that I and Dr. Gao designed in the HCS greenhouses sought to build upon earlier research conducted on controlled environment production systems.
During the autumn and winter months, the low temperatures and scarcer sunlight can be limiting factors for raspberry production in higher latitudes (e.g. the Midwest of the U.S.). As a result, raspberry plants grown in conventional field systems lose their leaves and enter dormancy.
My experiment at Ohio State involves growing raspberries in greenhouse conditions using container substrates and intercanopy red/blue LED lights as supplemental lighting. With the warm temperatures inside the greenhouse and the supplemental light provided by LED light bars, it is expected to lessen the likelihood that these raspberry plants enter dormancy.
The experiment has three treatments of varying LED light intensity: one treatment with two layers of LED interlighting bars; another treatment with a single layer of LED inter-lighting bar; and a control group with no artificial light. In addition, 2 cultivars of raspberries are being tested across these treatments, considering their different fruiting habits.
Plants in each treatment will be tested for growth rate, harvest period, yield and fruit quality within marketable parameters, as well as nutritional quality, such as phenolic compounds content, antioxidant activities, and profile of secondary compounds.
Ultimately, I am hopeful that this project will yield data that will allow growers to explore year-round raspberry production in high latitude regions utilizing controlled environment systems. It may also confirm the hypothesis created in Brazil, where no chilling hours are required for growing raspberries. This could expand the production range of raspberries not only to warm temperature regions (i.e. those not requiring chilling hours), but also to high latitude regions using controlled temperature and LED supplemental lighting.

Rian Johnson Wants to Direct an Episode of The Mandalorian
Prepare to be triggered if you're one of those angry Star Wars fan types who felt The Last Jedi did something to your soul, because its Director apparently wants to take a stab at directing an episode of The Mandalorian.
This comes via Sariah Wilson who seems to have access to Johnson and other Star Wars celebs, and her summary of his Mando intentions can be read below.
finding time to break away and do it. He said he has spoken to Dave Filoni about it. He had gone and visited the set during Season 1. He said it was so cool and I told him I was very jealous. He had seen "Baby Yoda" months before the reveal.
He said it was fascinating seeing
— Sariah Wilson (@sariahwilson) April 17, 2021
I definitely think he's thought about this and talked to Dave, and I do think if schedules worked out he would direct an episode. I for one would be interested to see what he did with Mando considering that he wouldn't necessarily be writing it, which seems to be the hat he wore that pissed people off in TLJ. If he's purely directing then I think most fans will be down for the idea, but if he's writing it I could see the angrier factions getting a bit too worked up and concerned over their fictional characters being portrayed in a way that they don't agree with.
If anything else, dude is making bank on something he created all by himself, so love or hate his Star Wars work, he is a talent none the less.
Nick and I will talk more about Rian and Mando on this week's episode of the SWTS, so don't forget to tune into the Star Wars Time Show on a weekly basis via our podcast platforms or via YouTube if you prefer the livestream angle.

Former England captain said – In this matter, the world's worst captain is Virat Kohli.
Ind versus Eng, India versus England fifth Test Match: Kohli likewise scored 49 in the fifth and last Test coordinate amid the main innings. Despite the fact that Kohli has neglected to make the 50 years, Kohli has ascended to second place after Rahul Dravid in the rundown of Indian batsmen who scored the most keeps running in England.
Ind versus Eng, India versus England fifth Test Match: Indian chief Virat Kohli is always running from the bat in the Test arrangement being played against England. In the fifth and last Test, Kohli additionally scored 49 keeps running in the principal innings. Despite the fact that Kohli has neglected to make the 50 years, Kohli has ascended to second place after Rahul Dravid in the rundown of Indian batsmen who scored the most keeps running in England. Previous England chief Michael Vaughan has portrayed Virat Kohli as the most noticeably awful commander in the matter of survey. This is because of the wrong choices made by Kohli always. Kohli lost his two surveys inside 12 overs amid the second innings. In the start of the second innings, Kohli looked for a survey for Keaton Jennings. Obviously in Replied that the ball was going off the stump, because of this, Jennings was not given a result and this audit of Virat went pointless.
After this, the second survey was taken by Captain Kohli on the last wad of the twelfth over and this audit was likewise pointless. The umpire dismissed the interest of Jadeja's ball going off Elister Cook's foot. Kohli took an audit and his survey turned sour as well. Taking a gander at Kohli's choice, previous England chief Vaughan tweeted that Kohli is the best batsman on the planet, yet his comprehension of the survey is most exceedingly bad.
Virat is the best Batsman in the World .. #Fact .. Virat is the worst reviewer in the World .. #Fact #ENGvsIND

Indeed, even subsequent to venturing down from captaincy, amid the one-day and T-20 matches Virat Kohli helped a considerable measure in taking the DRS.

Oaxaca's people's movement has garnered widespread support throughout Mexico and the world, but the Mexican government has been preparing for a brutal takeover of the city.
The thirteenth person that the ruling PRI-affiliated attackers kill is an independent, activist journalist from the United States, Brad Will of Indymedia. Days later, the Mexican federal government sends militarized police into the state. They do not go after the murderers, but instead use tanks and force to try to dislodge the nonviolent social movements from the city of Oaxaca. At least one boy is killed by a federal police tear-gas canister. The people of Oaxaca still hold the zocalo, the city's public space.
What's the box in your living room telling you, if anything? Do you believe the story sold to you in the newspapers, that this is some sort of evenly-divided internal conflict - does that really ring true, as the struggle continues despite the weight of government against the protesters? - rather than a vast movement of the dispossessed against corrupt and uncaring government?
Reporting on the Drug War & Democracy from Latin America since 2000, the Narco News Bulletin has been reporting from Oaxaca since long before the teacher's strike began, let alone became a revolution. The U.S. newspapers simply have not had people there, yet they consistently report authoritatively, and always in ways that reinforce entrenched power and exclude the perspective of the powerless.
A message from Cindy Sheehan: We hope that there are enough Americans who are willing to stand up and be counted with us to demonstrate to BushCo and Congress, Inc. that we are tired of having our rights taken away from us faster than our bombs destroyed Babylon. We are tired of having our young people die and kill innocent people to enhance corporate America's bottom line. We are tired of the constant drip, drip, drip of the wearing away of everything that we hold dear. I withdrew my consent to be governed by maniacs long ago. I withdraw my consent to be hauled off to Guantanamo and be stashed away for matriotically dissenting from this crime-ridden regime. Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired of the corruption and heartache? Show your discontent with us. Vote absentee so your vote will have a better chance of being counted and join Gold Star Families for Peace and other prominent peace groups and organizations in our continuing quest to end the illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq and hold our government accountable.


This articles talks about my reflections on 'Universal Principles of Design' by Lidwell, Holden and Butler. The authors have illustrated manifold design principles which when adhered to can created usable and beautiful designs. They also provide visual representation of every principle which makes it easier for the reader to understand the concept. The well documented article will definitely serve as a guide and a quick reference book for designers.
I thoroughly enjoyed the reading; the visual aids the authors used for explaining the principles made it easier to understand and retain the concepts. For instance, the principle Form follows Function I thought was relatively difficult to visualize and comprehend but the example of the clock served as a very helpful visualization aid. The central idea of the principle- purity of function with less ornamentation leads to a better design, was made clear by the simple design of the clock and the function it clearly expresses. Although I knew few principles like Consistency, which is an excellent means to reinforce brands in people's minds, and Highlighting, which marks the important points in a text to gain attention of the reader, I didn't know the importance of concepts like Closure and von Restorff Effect. Closure, the holistic perception of set of elements, and von Restorff Effect, the better retention of strikingly different things than ordinary things, made me ponder over the subtlety associated with these principles. I'm convinced that design is not only interactions and aesthetics but also the spectrum of emotions which create a bonding between the user and the product.


To pick up a dropped stitch from several rows below, you need a crochet hook. Pick up a dropped stitch from several rows below by drawing the unworked strand through the dropped stitch from the front or the back — and that depends on whether you're working with stockinette stitch or garter stitch.
In stockinette stitch: To rescue a dropped stitch from the knit side of stockinette stitch (if the purl side is facing, turn it around), reach through the dropped stitch with a crochet hook and pick up the bottommost strand in the ladder. Then, pull the strand through the stitch toward you to form a new stitch.
Repeat this maneuver to pull each successive strand in the ladder through the loop until the last strand has been worked.
In garter stitch: To pick up several rows of dropped stitches in garter stitch, you have to alternate the direction from which you pull the ladder strands through the dropped stitch.
Pull through the front of the stitch to create a knit stitch, and pull through the back of the stitch for a purl.
After you determine whether the first stitch to be rescued is a knit or purl stitch, the fix is a cinch. Just fix the first stitch, then alternate pulling stitches from each direction until you've pulled through the last strand. Put the last loop onto the LH needle in the ready-to-work position and work it as normal.
To determine whether you pull a dropped stitch through the front or back, follow the bottom strand to the side (either way) to see what the stitch connected to it looks like. A stitch that looks like a V is a knit stitch; one that looks like a bump is a purl stitch.
If you pull a loop through from a strand in the wrong row, you'll have a major — and unsightly — glitch in your work. So pick up the strands of yarn in the proper order, and check to make sure that the stitch you've made matches the ones next to it.
Aim to make your rescued stitches the same size as their neighbors. After you work the dropped stitch in and get back to working your current row, give a little tug on your work in each direction to blend the stitches.

Doubts over District Council's decarbonisation plans
Article: Nov 13, 2021
By Cllr Vilnis Vesma
One of the first things an organisation can do when it sets a 'net zero' carbon emissions goal is work out, at least approximately, a year-by-year forward budget for emissions (based usually on a high-level action plan). This both cements its commitment and provides a way to gauge progress. In a formal question to the District Council's Cabinet on 11 November I asked whether Forest of Dean District Council (FoDDC) would set such a budget in relation to its own operational emissions. The responsible Cabinet member gave a rambling 300-word "answer" which can be paraphrased as "No" (his reason being that various factors "[make] potential year-on-year estimates very inaccurate").
Bid for 20 mph limits voted down
Article: Jul 5, 2021
Newent already has a 20mph limit in the town centre but the conservative-led County Council has successfully opposed a motion to set the same safer limit in more town and village centres.
Liberal Democrat councillors Gill Moseley and Roger Whyborn put forward a motion to introduce the reduced speed limit in streets and roads at Gloucestershire County Council's meeting on 30th June. They say their group wants to give control back to communities so that they can have their say over speed in their local neighbourhoods. They wanted the County Council to work with district councils, parish and town councils to identify all those roads which should adopt the new speed limits. Councillor Whyborn said it was about reclaiming the streets for those who own them so that they can live walk and cycle and feel that children are safe on the streets. "If you are hit at 20mph as a pedestrian you will probably survive, but that's much less likely at 30mph or 40mph," he said.
Green bin bottleneck
Article: Jun 30, 2021
A resident on the outskirts of Newent complained to me that a green waste reccyling bin that he ordered in March still has not been delivered. I took this up with the relevant contracts manager and Cabinet member. Apparently the problem has arisen because Covid restrictions have prevented people collecting any kind of recycling container in person, so everything is now having to be delivered. This, together with increased demand because of lockdown, meant that the system could not cope with the March/April surge in green bin orders. However, they have finally "found the resources" to accelerate deliveries. I don't entirely buy the explanation: they have been working under Covid restrictions for over a year now and the contractor should have foreseen the surge. I'll be asking awkward questions on this and keeping an eye on performance.
Lib Dem elected for Newent Division
Article: May 24, 2021
Lib Dem elected for Newent Division … and Tories lose three seats in the Forest of Dean of the seven they previously held at the County Council.
Gill Moseley took the Newent Division for the Liberal Democrats in a straight contest with the Tory candidate on May 6th in the local elections for the County Council.
We'll leave misinformation to the Tories
Article: May 5, 2021
"Thank you to everyone who is giving me their support on Thursday May 6th as a candidate in the County Council election for Newent Division," say Gill Moseley.
"We believe in being fair and honest in what we say and write but we are not afraid to call out when we think something is wrong. We expect other parties and individuals to do the same. Sadly the Conservative leaflet for Newent does not match this standard of honesty and if some of you are wanting further information about some of its content, then this may be useful:

"Crude, Rude" Nudes of a Woman and Her Houseplants
Art & PhotographyIn Pictures

In his new erotic zine, Phytophile, photographer Bela Borsodi explores a woman's obsession for plants
TextGemma Padley
There is a series of photographs on Bela Borsodi's website that shows a model lovingly clutching and caressing items such as a handbag and boot in all manner of sensual bordering on erotic ways. Replace the accessories with a plant, switch the images to black and white and you'll begin to understand the thinking behind the Austrian-born photographer's latest series, Phytophile (literally 'a lover of plants'), recently published as a zine by Dashwood Books.
The new project, which features his friend, Faina, posing with plants in all sorts of semi-erotic ways, is definitely not a fashion story, says Borsodi, who is based in New York. It was nice to have the opportunity to do something outside of a fashion context and everything that comes with it, he says, and when Dashwood Books asked him to be part of their zine series he jumped at the invitation.
10Phytophile by Bela Borsodi
"Every photographer has a billion things that don't get published or other projects that are half realised, but I thought 'no, I want to go with something [new]', so I thought for a while about what I could do," he says. "I collect books on erotica and some friends said, 'why don't you do something on that?' I thought, 'OK, yes, but what will I do on erotica? Just to make photographs of pretty girls doing sexy poses, that's fine, but what else can I add? How can I do a different take on that?'"
The answer came in a flash of inspiration: what if the girl had a fetish for plants? "It was really a quick thought," he says. "I could have a girl who was actually attracted to plants. What can the girl and the plant do together? They are obsessed with each other in a sexual way." There is no shortage of images of beautiful women with plants, adds Borsodi, but "I'd never seen anything where the plants are her fetish. I wanted this to be crude and rude and for her to be the protagonist, to have the control."
As it turns out, there is a whole "plant fucking, tree fucking" movement called ecosexuality, says Borsodi casually. "It is hippy, tree-hugging stuff, but they don't only hug trees, they sometimes fuck them, and there are girls with moss between their legs becoming at one with nature." Borsodi was less interested in going down the eco route and more into exploring how his subject could be cute and sexy with the plants, and how "she doesn't give a shit about anyone else". She is wrapped up in her own world as we, the voyeurs, look on.
"I wanted this to be her story," says Borsodi. "That's why she never looks at the camera other than in one image at the very end of the book when she confronts the viewer. I wanted her to let loose, and to explore what could happen."
Phytophile by Bela Borsodi is published by Dashwood Books.
