They are Winnipeg's closest NHL neighbours and they'll be spending a lot of time together from now on, but the Jets and Minnesota Wild won't be swapping recipes.
As division rivals, they'll be trying to claw their way past the other to secure a playoff spot in the realigned Central Division, with their first meeting of the season Thursday in St. Paul.
"We need to establish ourselves as a team that wants to beat them, which is exactly what they're going to want to do," Jets head coach Claude Noel said.
There has been a lot of talk about a natural rivalry, since the two are so close. Minneapolis-St. Paul is half the distance from Winnipeg as Calgary, for example, and Manitoba hockey fans regularly drive south to watch games at the Xcel Energy Center.
"Our fan base goes down there a fair bit and voices their opinions, so that creates some anxiety in different parties and I think that's healthy," Noel said.
But he also suggests it would be nice to play a few games before talking about a rivalry. The two teams met exactly twice during the regular season in 2011-12 and twice during this preseason.
"We haven't created a rivalry yet," Noel said. "It's the potential, everybody talks about it, so it will get created, probably through the media."
Jets forward Devin Setoguchi knows the Wild well, after playing two seasons with them before being traded to Winnipeg.
"They're a pretty structured hockey club," he said.
"They play a north-south game and they try to eliminate turnovers and they work hard. It's pretty simple the way they play. They've got some skill over there as well."
That skill level took a big bump with the addition of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter in 2012, and the Wild made the playoffs at the end of the last lockout-shortened season, although they were eliminated in five by the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round.
Setoguchi says the Jets aren't spending much time thinking about how the Wild will play though, they're focused on their own game.
"You can do the pre-scout as much as you want but at the end of the day we need to have better starts and we need to stick better to our structure," he said.
But he, too, sees the potential for a great rivalry. "I remember when I played there it used to be about half Winnipeg fans in the crowd."
Setoguchi has been fitting in well as part of Winnipeg's revamped second scoring line, with Evander Kane and Mark Scheifele.
They're tied at eight points with last season's top line of Andrew Ladd, Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler.
The addition of Setoguchi and Michael Frolik, who has helped create a more effective third line, seems to have given the Jets some of the depth they were lacking up front.
But they've still been outshot 108-77 in their first three games, despite posting a record of 2-1-0, and have been working on defence to try and give goalie Ondrej Pavelec a little more help.
"I don't think we need to worry too much about [Minnesota] right now," Noel said.
"That's no disrespect to them [but] we have enough of our own situations that we have to get squared around so we're going to be focusing on our game. We know what they do, we know how they play, and we know where we have to be better."
The Jets will play the Wild five times this season and after Thursday's game they return home to face another division rival Friday, the Dallas Stars.
Noel says he was glad to have a couple of days of practice this week and he knows the team wants to get better.
"We know where the areas are and it was good we got a couple of days of practice because its been very busy right from the onset of training camp," the coach said after practice Wednesday.
"I sense our guys want to succeed and they want to win and they're not only words that they're talking about, they want to be helped and they want to be successful."


This was a fairly typical CD-ROM to install on a PC. In other words, not difficult if you've done a couple before, or followed the directions. Initial use, however, was not entirely intuitive. Even one of our guru-level parent reviewers found some things less than obvious. "There was a fair amount of trial and error involved in using Body Adventure. Nothing really hard, but you had to be willing to experiment to uncover all the functions included."
Would our reviewers buy it again? Yes, if they had a child who had previously expressed an interest in human anatomy. As one reviewer put it, "although not as complete as I had hoped, it does make anatomy come alive."

When "Fake News" Was Banned: An America Trump Might Have Loved
tags: Red Scare, censorship, immigrants, radicalism, press freedom, sedition
by Adam Hochschild
Adam Hochschild's newest book Rebel Cinderella: From Rags to Riches to Radical, The Epic Journey of Rose Pastor Stokes, is newly published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (March 3, 2020).
Though few remember it today, exactly 100 years ago, this country's media was laboring under the kind of official censorship that would undoubtedly thrill both Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo. And yet the name of the man who zestfully banned magazines and newspapers of all sorts doesn't even appear in either Morison's history, that Britannica article, or just about anywhere else either.
The story begins in the spring of 1917, when the United States entered the First World War. Despite his reputation as a liberal internationalist, the president at that moment, Woodrow Wilson, cared little for civil liberties. After calling for war, he quickly pushed Congress to pass what became known as the Espionage Act, which, in amended form, is still in effect. Nearly a century later, National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden would be charged under it and in these years he would hardly be alone.
Despite its name, the act was not really motivated by fears of wartime espionage. By 1917, there were few German spies left in the United States. Most of them had been caught two years earlier when their paymaster got off a New York City elevated train leaving behind a briefcase quickly seized by the American agent tailing him.
Rather, the new law allowed the government to define any opposition to the war as criminal. And since many of those who spoke out most strongly against entry into the conflict came from the ranks of the Socialist Party, the Industrial Workers of the World (famously known as the "Wobblies"), or the followers of the charismatic anarchist Emma Goldman, this in effect allowed the government to criminalize much of the Left. (My new book, Rebel Cinderella, follows the career of Rose Pastor Stokes, a famed radical orator who was prosecuted under the Espionage Act.)

Total Athletic Therapy: Study Spotlight: Probiotics: More Harm than Good?
Study Spotlight: Probiotics: More Harm than Good?
Probiotic supplementation has been a very popular strategy as of late intended to improve overall health. Specifically probiotics may help improve gut health and function by optimizing the balance between "good" and "bad" bacteria throughout the digestive system. This in turn may help improve digestive functioning, reduce systemic inflammation and enhance your immune system. For these reasons I have been a firm believer of probiotic supplementation and often recommended them as one of the best supplements for overall health and wellness. However, a recent report has made me think twice about probiotics or at least pay a little bit more attention to the quality and type of probiotic I am consuming.
Researchers out of Saudi Arabia assessed the quality and content of several commercially available probiotic supplements on the market. They collected samples of these probiotic strains and isolated them in petri dishes. From there, they exposed the probiotics to different classes of antibiotics which in theory should have eradicated the live strains. However, much to there surprise they found some interest results.
What they found is rather troubling. The researchers actually found that several of the probiotic strains actually appeared to be resistant to the antibiotic treatments suggesting that they in fact contained several strains of antibiotic-resistance bacteria. This initially may not sound like a bad thing as you may think that we would want "good" bacteria to survive antiobiotic treatment to help keep things normal during a period of antiobiotic treatment for other medical issues. However, the authors pointed out that there may be a chance antiobiotic resistance nature of these probiotics could rub-off on "bad" bacteria or other pathogens that would then become resistant to antiobiotic treatment and we would be in a world of trouble (See the movie Contagion for more details). What's worse is that several of the probiotic supplements did not contain the actual amount of live bacteria that they marketed so in a sense you are also getting ripped off. But again, is that good or bad I don't know.
The apparent take home message from this article is that it may be too early to tell regarding the pros/cons of probiotic supplements. Up until recently they were thought to be beneficial to everyone, particularly those receiving antiobiotics. However, based on some of the recent research this may not be the case. Honestly, we may just have to wait and see whether or not the potential good outweighs the bad with probiotics. Or at least make sure you are purchasing a higher quality option. Unfortunately, the researchers did not release the names of the commercially available products testing the previously mentioned study so we do not know which products to stay away from.

Aiulf znany te jako Agiwulf (nieznana data narodzin, zmarł w 457 roku) był władcą przynajmniej części swebskich terytoriów na Półwyspie Iberyjskim. Jego panowanie jest jednak bardzo niejasne, a źródła podają sprzeczne informacje.

W 456 roku król wizygocki Teodoryk II, na prośbę cesarza rzymskiego, wyprawił się na królestwo Swebów. W bitwie nad rzeką Órbigo rozbił wojska Rechiara po czym złupił Bragę, siedzibę króla. Rechiar wpadł w ręce Teodoryka II, gdy próbował uciekać z Porto, po czym został ścięty. Wizygoci w czasie tej kampanii w zasadzie rozbili państwo Swebów.

Według Hydacjusza po złupieniu Bragii i egzekucji Rechiara, Teodoryk na czele swojej armii ruszył na południe. Wówczas jeden z wizygockich dowóców, Aiulf, zbuntował się i zbiegł do Galicji z częścią oddziałów, mając w planach ogłoszenie się samodzielnym władcą.

Jordanes podaje natomiast, że Aiulf był jednym z ważniejszych dostojników i wodzów na dworze Teodoryka i król mianował go namiestnikiem terenów, które zdobył w wyniku kampanii z 456 roku. Aiulf szybko nawiązał kontakty ze Swebami i pod ich wpływem miał się zbuntować i ogłosić królem. W 457 roku Wizygoci mieli wyprawić się na buntownika i po zwycięskich walkach zabić go.

Według współczesnych historyków Jordanes jest mniej wiarygodny od Hydacjusza, przede wszystkim dlatego, że Hydatiusz żył na terenie Galicji w opisywanych przez siebie czasach. Jordanes natomiast żył daleko na wschodzie i tworzył niemal sto lat po opisywanych wydarzeniach. Jordanes pisał też "na chwałę" Gotów i prawdopodobnie dlatego wplótł do swojej relacji zdradzieckich Swebów, którzy namówili Aiulfa do buntu.

Aiulf bywa identyfikowany z niejakim Agiulfem, który w 448 roku zabił przetrzymywanego przez Swebów od ośmiu lat legata cesarskiego Cenzoriusza. Wydaje się to jednak nieprawdopodobne. Po śmierci Aiulfa nastąpił okres uzurpacji i nieomal rozpadu państwa Swebów na dwie części.

Q: Resizing the backbuffer of a swap chain (DX9) new on this forum (first post)
I'll post the image as its the easiest way to explain:
http://i42.tinypic.com/zvbj9i.png (cant post image because I dont have 10 rep yet)
The swap chains are being rendered onto resizable panels, but on resize, some of them go very.. pixelly. Heres the main rendering code: http://pastebin.com/uG9sLE1r
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks,
James Warner

A: Fixed the issue, the .x portion (stores widths) of the D3DXVECTOR2 that was storing sizes of the panels was being assigned to the height property of the backbuffer. Working 100% now. Heres my code for anyone that might find it useful: http://pastebin.com/VvmUZNXF

I am in love with these styles! They are comfortable and so stylish I wish I could wear them with every outfit and everyday.
Fit great. No complaints. Actually I think more comfortable than shoes in shopping malls.
It is the perfect color and will match everything. I feel fashionable after walking around campus and parties in these all day. I\'m ordering them in two other colors now!
This color is pretty and versatile about everything. Shoeland is super comfy and good quality. This is my 3rd pair of shoes from this brand. The other pair is just as awesome and equal quality.

« Review – Relative Values, Harold Pinter Theatre
Review – Let the Right One In, Apollo Theatre »
Review – Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Savoy Theatre
If you feel the need to say "We had great seats" or "the sets were very good" when you come out of the theatre then there's a big possibly that something is very wrong with the show itself.
Phil burbled enthusiastically on both these matters when he left Dirty Rotten Scoundrels last night.
Peter McKintosh's uncluttered, crisp designs slip into the glorious Art Deco interior of the Savoy Theatre like a glove (that would be a glove coated in, ahem, K-Y Jelly. See later). They seem almost an extension of the auditorium itself and with swift, relatively simple, adjustments conjure up all the requisite locations whilst never delaying or distracting from the show.
Now for the bad news.
Well, of course it's a bit late in the day of April 1st for joshing (it can hardly be a coincidence that they've chosen this particular day to open a show about tricksters). And sorry to disappoint (some), but on balance the good far outweighs the bad. Not that the show is in anyway perfect but Phil still had much more fun than he'd anticipated.
He'd previously found the charms of Robert Lindsay pretty easy to resist and managed to maintain this resistance until about midway through Act 1. The appreciative round of applause on Lindsay's entrance had been slightly irritating. Perhaps it was for Rufus Hound? Hard to tell. The two play competing swindlers, Lawrence and Freddy, seducing women (Samantha Bond and Katherine Kingsley among others) out of their fortunes on the French Riviera. Had Phil been conned too?
It's based (yet again) on a "classic" film, which, like a lot of life, had somehow completely passed Phil by. Not having seen the 1988 comedy probably helped. Turns out to be a pretty watchable yarn (book Jeffrey Lane based on the screenplay) which neatly wrong-foots the audience a couple of times. Resistance seemed futile.
The numbers (music and lyrics David Yazbek) are jauntily varied and sometimes tuneful if fairly unmemorable but at least they often advance the action and are frequently broken by good bits of comedy. If only the sound had been clearer. Some of the songs have flashes of decent lyrics, but some of them, even from the 3rd row dress circle, were lost.
A shouty number "Great Big Stuff " was heard by Phil's companion for the evening as "HP Sauce" (not just Phil having hearing difficulties then) another "Ruffhousin' Mit Shüffhausenis" remained amusing despite Lindsay's comedy Austrian accent rendering some of the lines inaudible.
Compensations came in the form of a rousing cowboy/girl number, "Oklahoma?" led rip-roaringly by a pistol-packing oil heiress, Jolene (Lizzy Connolly). But, despite sound issues, trust Phil to catch a musical first in the line "K-Y Jelly on a rubber glove" in "All About Ruprecht" where Lawrence gets Freddy to pose as his socially-impaired brother in an attempt to ditch Jolene. If you remember Terry Scott's 'comedy' record "My Brother" this racier, updated version, will make it never sound the same again. For that we must be grateful. Oh, and above all, there's some not insignificant yodelling. Andrew would have approved.
Could be a theatrical sleight-of-hand or just plain acting, but Lindsay and Hound appear to have a natural comedic chemistry together. Both reference their turns in previous shows; the former his hat antics in Me and My Girl, the latter his peanut throwing party trick in One Man, Two Guvnors. Plus there's some fourth wall-breaking as they play around with the orchestra and a singing programme seller in the stalls again. I Can't Sing! also features one. Could this overtake the onstage urination trend?
Bond tackles a musical part gamely. Her elegance gets her through the dancing; she'll never be one of the comedy turns on Strictly. Her comedy's present elsewhere; Phil's still chuckling about her bit of business concerning a hangover and a hotel balcony.
And if only one out of the four biggest poster names (the ever-excellent Kingsley steals yet another show) can really belt out a number they all come out sounding like opera stars if you were unfortunate enough to witness newsreader Jon Snow's foolhardy brave, watch-through-your-fingers attempts in Our Gay Wedding: The Musical last night.
Jerry Mitchell's production is very traditional, almost old fashioned musical comedy fare with an emphasis on comedy and some gloriously silly slapstick and there's nothing wrong with that. Like the rich duped women in the show even Phil was seduced in the end. It just took him a little longer.
Could be a hit. Who knows? In these post-Monty days only an April fool would try and predict.
Completely off topic. We assume you've all been 'Travoltifying' your names. For the record Phil's is "Phoenix Allorn'. West End Whinger comes out as 'Wayne Edjans'.
Katherine Kingsley's is 'Kristopher Keezy'. Let's hope whoever announces her Olivier Award nomination remembers next year.

Agree with all of that. I didn't expect much, and the first 15 minutes seemed to confirm my fears, but then the show picked up and grabbed my in spite of myself, and I ended up coming away very, very satisfied. The singing is almost universally bad, the choreographed numbers forgettable, and the production itself is only middling (although the set is gloriously thoughtful) but it holds together thanks to terrific comic acting, and a script packed full of laugh-out-loud gags. Isn't the Savoy Theatre a lovely venue too. Good fun all round!
Did R. Lindsay do any of that amazingly annoying incessant whistling he perpetrated in Me and My Girl? How wistful the words that Andrew "would have loved it," like a reference to a now-departed eminence such as James Agate…

I have nothing to do with this production which I enjoyed very much. I also sat in Dress Circle Row C – terrific seats – and would venture without any authority to suggest that sound is difficult in that area because, despite the huge array of speakers, there's nowhere in the vast openess to place the small boosters that enhance vocals. Without any experience of sitting elsewhere it's more than possible that there is an extra bite on the vocals in the areas within range of those small extra speakers.

Thanks for the review – definately on my list of things to seats – shall make sure I have good seats. Loved the film let's see what they do with it.

I agree, I was hesitant and not overwhelmed by the first half but I thought the second half really picked up. Lindsay is just wonderful, as is Samantha Bond.

Cupertino middle school student will play…
Cupertino middle school student will play Carnegie Hall next month
By Kristi Myllenbeck |
PUBLISHED: May 12, 2016 at 6:33 a.m. | UPDATED: May 17, 2018 at 7:11 a.m.
There was never a doubt in Ajay Mallya's mind that he wanted to play violin, even as a preschooler.
"I started playing violin when I was roughly 3 years old," the 13-year-old Cupertino resident says. "My mom was considering piano for me, but then I kept saying, 'No, I want to play violin, I really want to play violin.' I guess I liked the rich sound of it."
The Kennedy Middle School seventh-grader's dedication to the instrument will pay off when he plays his violin at Carnegie Hall in June.
Ajay is one of 400 students chosen for the Middle School Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall in New York City on June 25. According to his mother, more than 10,000 students applied for the opportunity.
He will perform in the Honors Junior Orchestra of about 50 students, led this year by conductor Kirt Mosier.
Ajay will be one of about 20 violinists in the orchestra, and they will perform four pieces: "Concerto for Four Violins" by Antonio Vivaldi, "Serenade for Strings" by Swedish composer Dag Wirn, and two pieces by Mosier, "American Reel" and "Overture to War."
"'Overture to War' was written as a tribute to war veterans," Ajay says. "It's also about how the people felt after the Pearl Harbor bombing. I like seeing how the music connects to the composers and why they wrote the piece."
Ajay says he received the performance pieces at the end of April and has two months to learn, perfect and memorize the music.
Though he practices up to 22 hours a week and takes private lessons from Stanford University's Robin Sharp, when asked if this tight deadline is normal for him, he replied with a laugh, "This is definitely a new experience for me."
He said he has a solid method for learning music quickly, though.
"Usually I get the piece, I look at it, consistently listen to it in the car and at home, then I play it, taking it a couple lines at a time, then I'll stitch it all together," he says.
Ajay is traveling to New York City with his family at the end of June, and along with the other students selected for the orchestra, he'll rehearse daily for the concert but will also have the opportunity to sightsee and take in sights like Times Square, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Plaza and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Students will also get the opportunity to see a Broadway play.
"I'm definitely excited about going to New York and Carnegie Hall, but I'm also excited because I'm playing with other people from all around North America, so that will be a big experience for me," he says. "The good thing about violin is that you can play not just solos, you can play with chamber orchestras, big orchestras, and it's really good for cooperation."
When he's not practicing violin, Ajay participates in track and field at his middle school and runs cross country, reads both fiction and nonfiction books and does cancer research.
Ajay says he doesn't know for sure what he wants to be when he grows up, but is considering the field of neuroscience, possibly with a college minor in music.
He credits his focus, determination and time management to his musical success.
"One thing I'd like kids my age to know is that they should use social media wisely," he says. "In that time that you're using social media, you could be practicing your instrument or doing your homework, or looking up interesting things on the Internet, instead of just Instagram or Snapchat or any of those social media things."
He also thanked his parents for supporting him and motivating him from an early age.
"One thing I really believe in is pursing passion," says his mother, Sarita Mallya. "I'm a very firm believer of that. One thing about Ajay that I've seen ever since he was little is that whatever he does, he just puts all his mind and heart into it, and he does it really well."
Ajay adds that it never hurts to aim high.
"I go for the big things, like how I went for Carnegie Hall. I just want to get to the top," he says. "I get a lot of happiness out of it."

Q: Set event's time with iCal4j I trying to implement simple export function into ics file. Events exported fine, but there is an issue with times - they are missing in exported file but exists in original format. Here is the code:
TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone(e.getOrder().getTimeZone());
long timeZoneOffset = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(timeZone.getOffset(now.getTime()));
startDate = new net.fortuna.ical4j.model.Date(DateUtils.addMinutes(e.getStartDateTime(), (int) timeZoneOffset).getTime());
endDate = new net.fortuna.ical4j.model.Date(DateUtils.addMinutes(e.getEndDateTime(), (int) timeZoneOffset).getTime());
event = new VEvent(startDate, endDate, e.getOrder().getDescription());
event.getProperties().add(TimeZoneRegistryFactory.getInstance().createRegistry().getTimeZone(e.getOrder().getTimeZone()).getVTimeZone().getTimeZoneId());
event.getProperties().add(new UidGenerator("CA").generateUid());
calendar.getComponents().add(event);

What I missed? Thank you in advance!

A: I wasn't able to reproduce you code, as you haven't pasted your code example fully and correctly (maybe you could do so and include the imports? That would make answering your question more easy).
But nevertheless, did you already had a look at the biweekly library (see: http://sourceforge.net/projects/biweekly/)? It looks pretty straightforward to me: easy to understand and you don't need to mess around with the iCal4j Date/TimeZone classes, etc. which seemed pretty cumbersome on my first peek.
Here is some example code giving you a glimpse about it's fairly intuitive usage:
ICalendar icals = new ICalendar();
VEvent event = new VEvent();
event.setDateStart(new Date());
event.setDateEnd(new Date());
event.setDescription("some description");

icals.setProductId("some product ID");
icals.addEvent(event);

WriterChainText text = Biweekly.write(icals);
System.out.println(text.go());

It can be included easily via Maven using:
<dependency>
    <groupId>net.sf.biweekly</groupId>
    <artifactId>biweekly</artifactId>
    <version>0.3.3</version>
</dependency>

Hope that helps?

About FNI
FNI scholars appointed for renewed term on GEP editorial board
FNI researchers Steinar Andresen and Lars H. Gulbrandsen have been appointed to serve another five-year term on the editorial board for the highly recognized academic journal Global Environmental Politics (GEP).
FNI's Deputy Director Gulbrandsen and Research Professor Andresen have already served on the GEP editorial board for the past five years, but they have now both been asked to commit to another editorial term.
The Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI) thus continues to be the only research institution globally with two representatives on the editorial board.
High rankings
Global Environmental Politics, published by the MIT Press, examines the relationships between global political forces and environmental change, with a particular focus on the implications of local-global interactions for environmental management as well as the implications of environmental change and environmental governance for world politics in general. Contributions to the journal come from across the disciplines, and the journal has become a very successful one, notably having achieved consistently high rankings in the Social Science Citation Index. FNI researchers regularly publish their work in GEP.
'GEP is one of the most important publication outlets for FNI', says Gulbrandsen, and continues: 'Hence, we are happy to have a strong presence on its editorial board. The fact that FNI is the only research institution with two representatives on the GEP board speaks to the importance of FNI's contributions to research on global environmental politics'.

Articles > Is Your Brain Holding You Back?
Ever wonder why your life isn't moving forward as fast as you would like?
You dream of having it all together, but stress, anxiety and depression are often becoming the norm? Or you're lost in transition and your expectations are turning into futile desires and empty dreams.
YOU HAVE! That's right, YOU HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, YOU JUST HAVEN"T KNOWN WHERE TO FIND THEM.
You're probably wondering, "If I have all the answers, then how come my life is so screwed up?" Or, "Why am I not experiencing more success, intimacy and a happier life?" Do you have to be intelligent, brilliant or smart to have the life you want?
Can you guess who I am talking about from the following story?
"Nothing can be solved at the level of consciousness where it exists. None of my theories ever came by thinking of them." If you haven't guessed it already, then know this person was… Albert Einstein.
Let's take the case of Thomas Edison. He had a small locked room in his Lab where he would go every afternoon for an hour or so. No one knew what he did there until after he died. After his death they broke into the room and found a bed with a bunch of journals lying around. They came to the conclusion he went into this room to sleep and program his dreams to give him answers to the inventions he was working on.
'In a classic study at the University of Texas at Elpaso in the 1980's, management professor Weston H. Agor tested the intuition of two thousand managers and found that the top-level leaders scored higher on intuition than those ranking lower in the corporate hierarchy.' Premonitions by Dr. Larry Dossey.
What does the above three cases have in common?
In each case they succeeded because they went beyond their intellect and rational minds and instead relied on DIFFERENT FORMS OF INTUITION to succeed in their endeavors.
Our Western world is stuck in the area of Left Brain Thinking, and for this we pay a price. My observations show me that 'Reason and the Intellect' are not the main essentials for a happy or successful life. In fact they often are a handicap for having the life you really want.
Most of our education consisted of rewards for Left-brain Thinking. Ever since you were young our society has impressed upon you the value of left brain type thinking. You were rewarded in school by your teachers and parents for your high grade scores. Daydreaming, playing with images, such as those in your dreams, and other intuitive phenomena were considered not rational. Yet, this didn't stop people from having dreams or nightmares. They were there in spite of what one believed.
Nor has your Left Brain education stopped you from having intuitive experiences even when you didn't believe in them. Experiences such as De Je Vus, sudden flashes of insight, hunches, premonitions, and other intuitive inspirations came whether you believed in them or not. Yet, you never gave them the place of honor they deserved. Instead if you honored them at all you would just pass them all off as luck.
The CEO'S referred to earlier with higher Intuitive Scores, never called themselves intuitive, they just felt they were brainier or luckier than most. Imagine what they could have accomplished if they really accepted and honored their intuition.
Having difficulty with your emotions, or a feeling of being lost in transition? Contact us to discuss your situation and see what would work best for you. Or try one of Dr. Winkelmans many workshops, or personal telephone sessions that quickly goes to the root of your problems and concerns.

It is completely ignored the Java compiler application that translates Java program to Java bytecode that computer can execute. Once you compile your program, you can execute it. Writing a simple Hello World program is stepwise step. Could be a good idea to make it more clear in you question text that you are specifically asking about Codenvy, and not just Java in general. In the next concept, we will see how to compile and run this program. Methods are one of the elements of classes. Bugs are the bane of a programmer's existence.
The class-name will be the name of that program. FirstProgram is not same as firstprogram. You can use any text editor to create and edit source files. All code needs to be in a class in order for the Java runtime engine to run it. We're going to call it HelloWorld, so type in HelloWorld no spaces! The best approach for beginners is to write code in a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad to understand the actual underlying workflow of the program. Let's see the simple code of the main method.
This particular method is executed when the HelloWorld class is executed using the java command. Visit this page to learn: When you run the program, the output will be: Hello, World! Execute the byte code Now you can execute the byte code in the Java interpreter with this command: java HelloWorld Output of the program When you run the program at the command line, you'll see this output Hello, world! We will learn it later. Helloworld is not the same as HelloWorld, because they are not exactly the same. Anything besides 0 means that an error was encountered. At the prompt, type the following command and press Enter. To create a simple java program, you need to create a class that contains the main method. Remember if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to.
Class is the basic building block of the java program, java codes are written in the java class. The workspace gets created and the view switches to the new workspace. This code is machine independent. Output is actually accomplished by the built-in println method. The modifiers public and static can be written in either order. You can also use , or to get the same result. Yes our Java Hello World program was simple, but it is important for you to see what Java code looks like.
The form will close and you should see your new project for your Java Hello World program on the side panel. You can get a list of the project's Maven tasks by pressing Shift+F10. The prompt shows your current directory. So, following statement will print the message Hello World. That opens up the New System Variable dialog. He has more than 10 years of experience with different aspects of Spring and Java design and development.
Most of the actual code in Java is found within methods. If we declare any method as static, it is known as the static method. If the output is similar to the following command prompt screen shot, it means Java is not previously installed on the machine and Java programs cannot be compiled on the system: Installing Java The easiest and most convenient way to download and install Java is downloading it from the official website. The instructions contained within this file are known as bytecodes. Then run the console-java-simple: run Maven task.
If you like GeeksforGeeks and would like to contribute, you can also write an article using or mail your article to contribute geeksforgeeks. Now that everything is set up and works, you have enough tools at your disposal to create highly sophisticated programs. Congratulations, you have just finished your first Java program! Please write comments if you find anything incorrect, or you want to share more information about the topic discussed above. That's ok; just give this new file a name. All methods and classes have opening and closing brackets, but we'll touch on that some other time. This post is intended only for java beginner. Or if the machine is Linux based, download corresponding Linux version.
The file download from the link mentioned is in the form of an. It means it doesn't return any value. Type the following command: java HelloWorldThat invokes the Java Virtual Machine to run the program called HelloWorld note that there is no. This is a multiple line comment and can be ignored. If you've never heard of Eclipse, then you need to look back at the. System is a final class and its all members are static.

Максим Константинович Крыжановский (1777—1839) — русский генерал-лейтенант, участник Отечественной войны 1812 года. Комендант Петропавловской крепости, член Военного совета.

Биография
Родился  года.

Начал службу в российском императорской флоте в 1794 году. Произведённый в 1797 году в подпоручики, Крыжановский в 1803 году был определён во вновь сформированный 2-й морской полк, а в 1807 году, в чине майора, назначен командиром батальона Императорской милиции и в 1809 году произведён в полковники. В 1810 году Крыжановскому как «фрунтовику» поручено было строевое обучение только что сформированного Гвардейского экипажа, и за доведение его до отличного состояния он был награждён орденом Св. Владимира 4-й степени. Затем в его же «выучку» отдан был 1-й флотский экипаж.

В 1811 году Крыжановскому было поручено переформировать батальон Императорской милиции в трёхбатальонный полк (впоследствии Лейб-гвардии Финляндский). С этим полком Максим Константинович и принял участие в Отечественной войне. В Бородинском сражении Крыжановский, получив приказание идти с полком на левый фланг, к д. Семёновской, под градом ядер занял указанный ему пункт за Семёновским оврагом и был здесь атакован французской кавалерией. Крыжановский встретил её дружным батальонным огнём, подпустив почти вплотную, и довершил дело штыками; в этом сражении он был контужен в правое плечо, награждён орденом Св. Георгия 4-й степени. В сражении под Красным Крыжановский с своим и Лейб-гвардии Егерским полками поддержал штыками неудачную атаку русских кирасир на французскую пехоту, опрокинул её, ворвался на плечах в с. Доброе и захватил 350 человек в плен, 8 пушек и весь обоз маршала Даву и его маршальский жезл; за этот подвиг награждён орденом Св. Владимира 3-й степени.

В кампании 1813 года Крыжановский участвовал в сражениях при Лютцене (за отличие произведён в генерал-майоры), Бауцене, Дрездене и Лейпциге, где и закончились его боевые подвиги. Получив в первый день Лейпцигской битвы (4 октября) приказание от Государя занять и удерживать деревни Ауэнгейм и Госса, Крыжановский атаковал последнюю под жесточайшим огнём и был ранен тремя пулями в обе ноги. Крыжановский не покинул, однако, поля сражения, продолжал распоряжаться атакой и был сильно контужен ядром в грудь, а затем снова ранен пулей в плечо. Вынесенный замертво из боя, Крыжановский нашёл, однако, в себе силы доложить встретившемуся ему на пути государю о ходе боя и был тут же награждён им орденом Св. Анны 1-й степени.

Раны не позволили Крыжановскому более служить в строю. В 1816 году он был назначен казначеем капитула Императорских орденов, с зачислением в Лейб-гвардии Финляндский полк, заслуживший под его командой Георгиевские знамёна и серебряные трубы, в 1826 — произведён в генерал-лейтенанты, в 1832 — назначен членом генерал-аудиториата, в 1836 году — директором Чесменской военной богадельни и членом Александровского комитета о раненых, а в 1837 году — комендантом Петропавловской крепости и членом Военного совета.

Умер  года и похоронен в Петропавловской крепости, согласно завещанию в мундире, «крепко пришитом к нему, — как он говорил, — неприятельскими пулями и ядрами». По отзыву барона М. А. Корфа, «был человек вовсе не блестящий, но честный и добрый».

Жена — Мария Алексеевна Перовская (1791—1872), побочная дочь А. К. Разумовского, славившаяся в молодости своей красотой. За заслуги мужа 1 июля 1837 года была пожалована в кавалерственные дамы ордена Св. Екатерины (малого креста). Детей в браке не было.

Iceland tops the WEF Global Gender Gap Index for the consecutive tenth year
Women's day off in 1975
For the tenth year in a row, Iceland is at the top of the World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Index published this morning. Three Nordic neighbours follow Iceland on the Index – Norway in second place, Sweden comes third and Finland in the fourth place.
Iceland's Prime Minister, Katrín Jakobsdóttir, says Iceland's ranking reflects the joint efforts of the government, academia and civil society for gender equality over the past few decades. "The women's movement paved the way for progress in Iceland. Gender equality does not happen by chance. We have put in place special measures such as affordable quality child care and parental leave for both parents that have made a big impact. We must also work to eliminate gender-based violence, which is both a cause and a consequence of womens inequality," says the Prime Minister.
Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson, Minister of Foreign Affairs, is pleased with the results: "The Gender Gap Index reminds us that we still have work to do when it comes to closing the gender gap, but we are encouraged by the results. We are also eager to share our experience and expertise with other countries to accelerate progress all over the world. Gender equality is a fundamental human right and a key to progress and development."
Gender equality a priority in development cooperation
The Government has now put in place its third action plan for women, peace and security and gender equality and women's empowerment will become a priority in Iceland's development cooperation once a new International Development Cooperation Strategy for the years 2019-2023 has been approved.
About 12% of Iceland's total development assistance funds gender equality programmes and projects and is set to rise by a third next year. "We see great opportunities to positively influence the status of women, including in our partner countries, Malawi and Uganda," says Minister Þórðarson.
Furthermore, Iceland will continue to work closely with UN Women, as its largest donor per capita, the UNFPA and the UNU Gender Equality Studies and Training Programme, which is based in Iceland.


LOS ANGELES (AFP): Heartthrob boy band the Jonas Brothers are breaking up, at least "for now," they announced Tuesday, a few weeks after canceling their latest tour due to "deep rifts" between the trio. The group, whose career took off five years ago with Disney films and TV shows, said they decided "unanimously" to split after a meeting earlier this month. "It's over for now," Kevin Jonas told People magazine, while brother Nick added: "It's really hard to say 'forever' .. We're closing a chapter, for sure." "It was a unanimous decision," added Joe.

Virginia Affective Neuroscience Laboratory
The Social Regulation of Risk and Effort
From Coan and Sbarra, 2015: "High quality social relationships correspond with longer, happier, and healthier lives — facts that hold true, as far as anyone knows, regardless of geography or culture. Although social relationships have been linked to health for decades (if not millennia), the mechanisms of this link remain speculative. Here we describe Social Baseline Theory (SBT), a perspective that integrates the study of social relationships with principles of attachment, behavioral ecology, cognitive neuroscience, and perception science. According to SBT, the human brain assumes proximity to social resources — resources that comprise the intrinsically social environment to which it is adapted. Put another way, the human brain expects access to relationships characterized by interdependence, shared goals, and joint attention. Violations of this expectation increase cognitive and physiological effort as the brain perceives fewer available resources and prepares the body to either conserve or more heavily invest its own energy. This increase in cognitive and physiological effort is frequently accompanied by distress, both acute and chronic, with all the negative sequelae for health and well being that implies. Thus, the first sense in which SBT refers to a social baseline has to do with the default and intrinsically social ecology the brain expects to function within."
Frontal EEG Asymmetry, Affective Style and Psychopathology
Affective disorders such as depression and anxiety are a pervasive and costly source of emotional suffering. In a variety of projects, we are working toward characterizing the role of asymmetrical patterns of electroencephalographic (EEG) activity over the frontal cortex in affective style, emotion regulation and risk for affective disorders. A large and growing body of research now associates relatively greater left prefrontal neural activity with approach oriented affects such as anger and joy, and relatively greater right prefrontal neural activity with withdrawal oriented affects such as fear, sadness and disgust. These affective associations have implications for the development of affective disorders. For example, numerous studies have associated depression and anxiety with a generalized pattern of relatively more right than left resting prefrontal brain activity. More recently, relatively greater left prefrontal activity has been associated with hypomanic symptoms. Much of this work is reviewed in Coan and Allen, 2004.
Our laboratory is involved in a number of studies related to these general observations. The following work highlights examples of the kinds of work the VAN lab does in this area.
We are attempting to determine whether prefrontal EEG asymmetries function as 1) episode markers that simply characterize the presence or absence of affective disorders, 2) liability markers that characterize persons with affective disorders as well as healthy persons at risk for affective disorders, or 3) genetic markers that characterize persons with a genetic risk for affective disorders.
We are interested in characterizing the interaction between frontal EEG asymmetries and environmental stress. Examples of this include…
understanding how prefrontal EEG asymmetries interact with social processes in determining emotional and academic adjustment to the first year of college.
identifying the role of prefrontal asymmetries in the development of learned helplessness. For example, when faced with uncontrollable and repeated failures to achieve goals, individuals can begin to lose motivation for other activities, begin to feel hopeless and experience an increased likelihood of making mistakes when coping with problems that are in fact controllable. We are investigating the ways in which patterns of EEG activity over the frontal cortex both track and interact with this process.
learning how prefrontal EEG asymmetries interact with ordinary daily events to produce affective responses.
attempting to ascertain the degree to which neural processes indexed by prefrontal EEG asymmetries actually mediate relationships between environmental stress and affective responses.
We are increasingly interested in fundamental questions of prefrontal EEG asymmetry and Affective Style–the ways with which individuals typically respond to various classes of affective stimuli. For this work, we are measuring EEG and various personality inventories. Most recently, we have begun measuring frontal EEG asymmetry and affective temperament in infants.
We have long worked toward solving long standing methodological issues in the measurement of frontal EEG asymmetry, such as the determination of optimal reference schemes, the measurement of prefrontal asymmetries in real-time emotional responding, and the determination of optimal measurement conditions for affectively meaningful EEG (e.g., the degree to which such asymmetries best measured under traditional "resting" conditions as opposed to experimentally induced emotional challenges that elicit emotion regulation capabilities.)

August was another record month for automotive paintwork repair franchise ChipsAway, with the number of repair enquiries smashing all previous levels in its 18-year history. Despite the gloomy economic outlook, almost 22,000 leads were sent out to its nationwide franchise network of repair specialists last month alone, breaking the company record that had only been set one month earlier!
The brand has reported a 94% increase in customer enquiries since introducing TV advertising into its national marketing strategy, and its forthcoming campaigns are set to increase this even further.
"ChipsAway's national advertising campaigns have generated a fantastic number of repair opportunities for the network over the years," says Tim Harris, chief executive of ChipsAway. "We have continued to refine and optimise our campaigns for maximum results and this summer we extended our TV campaign so franchisees have benefited from three and a half months of advertising – spanning the whole summer, June right through to September."
Appearing on a range of digital channels, ChipsAway's TV campaign represents a major investment by the company in supporting its franchisees, raising brand awareness and generating new business through high-impact promotion of ChipsAway's services to consumers on national television.
Tim continues: "TV is part of a wider mix of national marketing activity, including Google marketing which continues to perform extremely well for us, with an increase in leads of over 194% through this channel over the past two years!"

Kabayan Mummy Burial Caves is part of the Tentative list of Philippines in order to qualify for inclusion in the World Heritage List.
The Kabayan town of Benguet Province in Northern Luzon boasts two possible UNESCO World Heritage Sites - Mt. Pulag National Park, and the Ibaloi fire mummy burial caves - the latter I visited early November 2015.
Five cave sites are open for viewing; I visited three - Opdas cave, Timbac cave and Tenongchol cave (pictured here). According to locals, many other burial caves are found all over the Kabayan valley - and I support the decision in keeping them secret. A number have been stolen and sold in the black market, and those in the five cave sites are in dire need of conservation.
The property was one of my choices for graduate thesis, proposing to study: "aspects determining the geographic locations of the burial sites, i.e., identity and social status of the mummy, surrounding landscape, access, elevation and orientation of cave entrance, and alternative locations for burial."

Obama Awards Presidential Medal of Freedom to Sally Ride
By Amanda Wills 2013-11-20 17:01:39 UTC
President Barack Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Wednesday to Sally Ride, the first American woman in space.
"Sally didn't just break the stratospheric glass ceiling, she blasted through it," Obama said during a press conference.
See also: We Asked Sally Ride All the Wrong Questions
Ride, who passed away in 2012, was first and foremost a scientist. Armed with a Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford, she applied for the astronaut program after seeing an ad for NASA in her local newspaper.
After her first space flight 30 years ago, Ride dedicated much of her time to promoting science and math education for young girls, a platform she championed until her death.
"I never went into physics or the astronaut corps to become a role model. But after my first flight, it became clear to me that I was one. And I began to understand the importance of that to people," Ride told Harvard Business Review in 2012. "Young girls need to see role models in whatever careers they may choose, just so they can picture themselves doing those jobs someday. You can't be what you can't see."
President Obama touched on that influence by sharing his personal feelings, noting that Ride was crucial in setting the bar high for women in STEM careers.
"Today our daughters, Sasha and Malia, can set their sights a bit higher because Sally showed them the way," he said.
Ride was among several recipients of this year's award. You can watch the ceremony in full below.

Sanetax helps Tax Agents in getting new customers who don't want to visit the Tax Agents' office and who don't want to do their own taxes. Convenience and time savings for both Tax Agents and customers.
Before starting Sanetax in Nov 2009, Srini used to work in hi-tech/VLSI field. Like many customers, he used to do his own taxes using online software - it was convenient, no driving and had extra hours to spend. After getting married, tax filing became little difficult as he had to deal with multiple states and few other complications. He took the help from a Tax Agent in the hopes of filing the taxes easily; however things became more annoying as he had to visit the Tax Agent multiple times regarding tax documents and paying the fee. He decided to bring the convenience part of taking help from Tax Agents.
Sanetax has developed a CRM/Support suit which helps Tax Agents streamline the whole tax preparation process. For the customer side, Sanetax has developed mobile and web apps that can simplify taking help of Tax Agents.


"miRNAs cooperate in apoptosis regulation during C. elegans development" by Ryan Sherrard, Sebastian Luehr et al.
Programmed cell death occurs in a highly reproducible manner during Caenorhabditis elegans development. We demonstrate that, during embryogenesis, miR-35 and miR-58 bantam family microRNAs (miRNAs) cooperate to prevent the precocious death of mothers of cells programmed to die by repressing the gene egl-1, which encodes a proapoptotic BH3-only protein. In addition, we present evidence that repression of egl-1 is dependent on binding sites for miR-35 and miR-58 family miRNAs within the egl-1 3' untranslated region (UTR), which affect both mRNA copy number and translation. Furthermore, using single-molecule RNA fluorescent in situ hybridization (smRNA FISH), we show that egl-1 is transcribed in the mother of a cell programmed to die and that miR-35 and miR-58 family miRNAs prevent this mother from dying by keeping the copy number of egl-1 mRNA below a critical threshold. Finally, miR-35 and miR-58 family miRNAs can also dampen the transcriptional boost of egl-1 that occurs specifically in a daughter cell that is programmed to die. We propose that miRNAs compensate for lineage-specific differences in egl-1 transcriptional activation, thus ensuring that EGL-1 activity reaches the threshold necessary to trigger death only in daughter cells that are programmed to die.

So, the eagerly awaited first ever U.S.-DPRK summit is over: it took less than six hours for President Trump and Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un to complete their meetings.
As President Trump headed to the summit, he promised that the results would be "wonderful." Indeed, they are, in a sense: every North Korean watcher wonders what might have happened to bring about such a truly unremarkable outcome.
Well, what have the two sides agreed on? The short answer is: pretty much nothing. The final statement is devoid of any references to concrete measures and largely consists of nebulous declarations.
This statement might indicate that the U.S. and DPRK are going to establish formal diplomatic relations, but also might mean nothing in particular.
Both sides also promised that they "will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula." This could be interpreted as a hint to some end-of-war declaration or even a peace treaty, even though a formal peace treaty is unlikely to be signed, given that the Korean War was a curious legal mess.
Yes, North Korea publicly confirmed its commitment to eventual denuclearization. However, it makes sense to remind readers that all "officially recognized" nuclear powers, including the U.S. and China, expressed such commitments as early as 1968.
The final article says that sides will continue the search for the remains of U.S. soldiers and MIAs. This promise might resonate well in the hearts of American patriots, but the rest of us will have to try hard to appreciate the significance of such a search in the context of global security.
Is that all? Not exactly, since during the press conference which followed the signing President Trump also mentioned that the U.S. would suspend regular joint military exercises with South Korea. Given that for a long time such drills have annoyed the North Koreans, as well as the fact that without the exercises the level of military preparedness will fall, this was a major concession as well.
It was the only significant concession which was declared on the day of the summit – and, tellingly enough, it was done by the Americans.
What does it all mean? Months of preparations, near-unprecedented blackmail and saber-rattling, and dozens of high-profile (or top secret) visits have ended up producing almost nothing, an agreement which cannot even be seen as a road map for the future developments. At best, it is a declaration of intentions, and even in the context of other such declarations it is vague and imprecise.
Of course, there was no reason to expect that the promised "unwavering" commitment of the U.S. side to CVID would bear fruit: CVID is, and has always been, a dead end in the nuclear diplomacy with North Korea.
The North Koreans will never surrender their nuclear weapons, and it is strange that some otherwise sane people have sometimes expressed doubts about this geopolitical fact: the DPRK elite sincerely believes that without nuclear weapons it is doomed. Given recent events (above all, of course, the sorry fate of Colonel Qaddafi) one must to admit that this perception is not unfounded.
But there were ample reasons to hope that the summit, aside from the photo ops and self-aggrandizing tweets, would produce something tangible. While North Korean leaders, if facing a choice between CVID and war, would likely choose war, they are willing to talk about arms control and arms reduction.
Their willingness to cooperate dramatically increased in recent months, when Pyongyang's "Washington watchers" somewhat belatedly realized that they were dealing with an unusual U.S. president – a man who might be willing to start a military conflict even if this meant a risk of escalation.
They entered negotiations to win time, but they were also willing to sacrifice a lot: to make concessions to ensure that the U.S. would not deliver a "bloody nose" strike and would also somewhat relax increasingly suffocating economic sanctions.
The last five months have seen many North Korean concessions, often significant and always unilateral.
Throughout this time, Pyongyang has introduced a unilateral moratorium on nuclear tests and missile launches, returned three American detainees, destroyed the tunnels at its old nuclear testing site, and even already theoretically committed itself to the denuclearization.
Once the U.S. President threatened to cancel the summit in May, the North Korean side immediately reacted, sending a nearly apologetic letter. When Rudy Giuliani recently said that North Korean leader "begged on his hands and knees" to get a summit, the former NYC mayor was comically and grossly undiplomatic, but in a sense he expressed the impression everybody had in early June.
Against this background, even more skeptical observers expected that Singapore summit would deliver a massive deal which would seriously limit the North Koreans' ability to further advance their nuclear and missile program. There was widespread expectation that Pyongyang would agree to dismantle some vital elements of its vast nuclear and missile production complex: like, say, to stop and disable a plutonium-producing nuclear reactor or, perhaps, getting rid of centrifuges used to enrich uranium.
Inspections of known nuclear sites were almost universally expected, too, and more optimistic observers even expected that North Koreans would ship some of their existent nuclear devises outside the country for safe-keeping.
All these measures would not have amounted to full denuclearization, but, if implemented, they would have seriously restricted North Korea's ability to blackmail and threaten its neighbors.
Nothing of this happened, however.
Of course, one can argue that the Singapore declaration is merely the "first step on the long road to nuclear disarmament." But even if this is the case, this alleged 'first step' is remarkably small – almost invisible – even though it was made under the most favorable conditions imaginable.
One wonders whether the U.S. administration is going to keep a high level of pressure to get more from Pyongyang – especially now, when the North Korean negotiators have good reason to feel emboldened by their success.
It will not help that South Korea is now under control of a government which is very eager to engage North Korea (at the taxpayer's expense, of course) and China, increasingly unhappy about tariff wars, is considering whether it should continue to maintain the united front with the U.S. on the North Korean issue.
Conditions for getting necessary concessions from North Korea might being lost forever. This author has no idea why the U.S. President, being in such an advantageous negotiating position and enjoying an unprecedented level of support from the world – including rivals such as China and Russia – returns from Singapore empty-handed. But this is what has happened – and for decades historians will argue about the why and how of this remarkable debacle.
There is one silver lining: a flawed summit is still better than the militaristic and mindless sable-rattling we saw in 2017. However imperfect, the summit helps to reduce the chances of a war in Korea which, for a while, appeared very high.
It was not a complete failure, but the summit could easily have delivered ten times more than it actually did.

Dear Paola,
We spoke before about the large scale work called Flakturm I'm working on – the reconstruction of the Friedrichshain 'flakturm' destroyed in Berlin at the end of World War II . This was a gun tower where a series of important paintings had been moved from the Kaiser Friedrich Museum for safekeeping. The collection, documented in a series of 417 black and white photos, was destroyed in a fire in May 1945 during bombings by the allied forces. All the paintings were destroyed. I have been using the photos to make a 'compressed' version of the tower and it's collection.
The final work will be monumental in proportions – 16 three metre wide oil canvases supported by a wooden scaffolding structure to make an octagonal tower. There are several stages of preparatory drawings, collages and sculptures through which I have been developing the paintings, and I think it would be interesting to work together and present the project at this point in its evolution. The collages have an interesting dimension to them – you feel the flatness of the illusion, as well as the sense of the object in the layering of the paper. They are preparatory works but have certain qualities not present in the final works, so an interesting introduction to the project.
To make the process clear:
I have archived the original photos into categories of subject matter and composition, then reassembled them into collages. These collages conserve aspects of the original works while obfuscating the representation within the images. They are subsequently translated into sculptural dioramas from which the large format works derive.
The final result will be both imposing and intimate. The structure acts as a monument to the destruction of the original masterpieces while the function of the architectural form is to intensify the psychological effect of the works by physically immersing the viewer within the illusionary potential of the work.
As you know my work often develops on the idea of readdressing images that no longer exist in their original state, but that have been documented visually or orally. I think it would be great to work together in presenting the process involved in this kind of research, where the relation between original and copy is at its rawest, as a prologue to the final work.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
