What is the best colour lure for Bass fishing, or does it even matter? I recently read an article written by Steve Starling, which I have had permission to include in this post. I will let you read it, then you can read my observations at the end of it.
Most keen anglers have a favorite lure or fly color, and swear that their choice will out-perform all other offerings. But just how important is color when it comes to lure and fly selection? Well, according to science, not very important at all!
Water progressively absorbs or blocks light of different wavelengths, meaning that colors effectively "vanish" one after another as "white" sunlight travels through the water column. The overall intensity or brightness of visible light also diminishes rapidly underwater.
Because this absorption is greater for longer wavelengths (the red end of the spectrum) than for shorter wavelengths (the blue end of the spectrum), perceived colors are rapidly altered with increasing depth or distance through the water.
The precise rate at which this loss of color occurs varies depending on the intensity of the sunlight, whether the sun is directly overhead or low on the horizon, the amount of cloud cover, as well as the clarity and color of the water itself, and the presence of any suspended matter such as weed or plankton. Even in very clear ocean currents far from shore, less than 25 percent of available sunlight hitting the sea's surface will penetrate much beyond 30 feet or so. By the time we reach a depth of 300 feet, the remaining light may be as little as 0.5 percent of that available on the surface. In other words, it's a pretty gloomy place down there! In freshwater lakes and rivers, this loss of light with depth is even more dramatic.
As already mentioned, red is the first color visible to our eyes to disappear, and is typically gone within 15 or 20 feet of the surface. much less in turbid water. Orange disappears next, then yellow, green, and purple. Blues penetrate deepest of all, both the tones visible to our human eyes and also the shorter, ultra-violet wavelength many fish can see.
This phenomenon has a profound impact on the way things look to us, and also to fish underwater. White objects will appear bluish or gray underwater, and the darkness of that blue/gray appearance increases rapidly with depth. Red objects will begin to look dark brown or even black within a few meters of the surface. Down at 40 or 50 feet, even in very clear water, the world appears to be composed entirely of shades of gray, blue, and black.
It's worth stressing that this loss or alteration of visible colors occurs in both the vertical and the horizontal or diagonal planes. So, 40 feet of vertical depth has roughly the same impact on light waves and color perception as 40 feet of horizontal or diagonal separation between object and observer. In other words, a red lure may look black when viewed at a depth of 40 feet, but it will also appear black, or at the least brown or very dark grey, when viewed from the side at a distance of 40 feet, even if it's traveling right up in the surface layer.
At face value, this phenomenon of light and color loss underwater makes a mockery of the importance of color in lures anywhere beyond shallow, ultra-clear scenarios, yet anglers the world over will continue to argue that one color is better than another, even in deep-water jigging. The funny thing is, if you ask half a dozen fishers for their opinion on the most effective lure color, you're likely to receive six different answers. Perhaps it's time we moved color to the bottom of the list of criteria when choosing a lure or fly, and placed far greater emphasis on the size, action, profile, and speed of our offerings.
I am sure you will agree that Steve's article is well written and contains some interesting points. However I don't agree with all that Steve says.
Firstly these observations as to the changes in colour at different depths, are based on those of the human eye and brain. I don't care how clever the scientists are they do not truly know how a fish views colour. Like us they have evolved over the millennia, and they may even have a better perception of colour than we do. On the other hand they may just see them as different shades, it is unlikely we will ever know.
One thing that I do know is that the colour of the lure can at times be the most important choice you can make. I do stress that I say at times, because there are plenty of occasions when you could throw any lure colour, or shape in the water and catch. In my "A box" of lures that I use most of the time, there are normally only 4 or 5 different styles of lure, but I will often carry 3 different colours of that one lure.
When fishing for Wrasse, they can be incredibly picky about colour. My observations are that colour is more important than lure style when fishing for them. I hope to prove this much more comprehensively this year, when I use a system that I can make small changes to the colour of the lures ,that I believe will have a huge impact on my catch rate.
I know from my time commercial fishing for Bass how critical colour can be when fishing with lures as deep as 30m. In a boat with four fishermen, we would normally start off on different colours and different lure styles. Normally Sidewinders and Shads. If one fisherman is out fishing the others for no particular reason then we would change to that pattern and colour. I have known it, where even the different shade of white on a Sidewinder can make the difference between catching one fish a drift, to only catching a fish every third or fourth drift.
So the next time you are out fishing with lures, and you are struggling then think about changing colour.

En endocentrisk syntaktisk konstruktion innehåller ett ord som kan representera hela konstruktionen. I till exempel nominalfrasen röda rosor kan rosor fungera som ersättare för hela uttrycket eftersom det har samma syntaktiska distribution (jämför Röda rosor är vackra – Rosor är vackra). Ett annat exempel är springa fort, där springa kan står för hela verbfrasen. Om ett ord inte kan stå utan sin bestämning kan det likväl ses som centrum i en endocentrisk konstruktion, till exempel avlägger i avlägger examen. En endocentrisk konstruktion kan också bestå av samordnade led, till exempel Hans och Greta.

Motsatsen till endocentrisk är exocentrisk. I till exempel prepositionsfrasen på bordet kan varken prepositionen eller substantivet ersätta hela frasen (därför kan prepositionsfraser, till skillnad från nominalfraser, inte bestå av bara ett ord). Detta behöver alltså inte innebära att konstruktionen saknar huvudord; eftersom prepositionen bestämmer formen på (styr) substantivet eller pronomenet, ses prepositionen som huvudord.

Subjektet och det finita verbet anses vanligen ingå i en exocentrisk förbindelse, en så kallad nexusförbindelse, där därtill ingetdera av leden är en bestämning till det andra. En annan uppfattning företräds av dependensgrammatiken, som ser subjektet som en bestämning till predikatet.

Även på ordnivå kan begreppet endocentrisk tillämpas, nämligen i sammansättningar. En determinativ sammansättning är normalt endocentrisk, till exempel en ladusvala är en svala. Men ett blekansikte är inte ett ansikte, utan en person: detta är en exocentrisk sammansättning, närmare bestämt ett fall av bahuvrihi.

Film piracy funding terror: US thinktank
7 Mar 2009, 0425 hrs IST, S Balakrishnan,
Source: TNN
MUMBAI: The leading US thinktank, Rand Corporation, has confirmed what Indian intelligence agencies have been maintaining all along— Dawood
Ibrahim has graduated to terrorism and is siphoning off millions of dollars earned from film piracy, drug-running and other crimes to finance his operations.
According to sources in the film industry and police, the moment a film is released in Mumbai, the 'D-Company' makes camera prints and sends them to Karachi or Kuala Lumpur where millions of DVDs are made and marketed across the world. But after the Mumbai-based Valuable Group introduced satellite transmission of films directly to cinema halls, it has become difficult for the gang to make camera prints as each cinema hall has a secret identity number encrypted into the movie. To avoid this, gang members have established links with small-time theatres in Gujarat where the camera prints are taken at the first show of any new film.
The gang also receives advance prints of the films financed by it through front companies. "Contrary to general impression, the D-Company is still active in Bollywood," a film producer says.
"Dawood is India's godfather of godfathers who runs criminal gangs from Bangkok to Dubai. His gang syndicate, called D-Company, engages in strong-arm protection, drug trafficking, extortion and murder-for-hire," the Rand report says.
It says that film piracy can be more paying than drug-trafficking. The report says a pirated DVD made in Malaysia for 70 cents is marked up more than 1,000% and sold in London for about $9. "The profit margin is more than three times higher than the mark-up for Iranian heroin and higher than the profit from Columbian cocaine," the report says.
Identifying Al-Mansoor and Sadaf brands belonging to Dawood, the report says he has acquired extraordinary market power in the distribution of pirated films throughout the region. The report says the D-Company has got control of Sadaf Trading Company based in Karachi, and thus allowing it to manage distribution network in Pakistan and also acquiring the infrastructure to manufacture pirate VHS tapes and VCDs for sale.

IRAN: Ongoing harassment against prominent human rights defenders Nargess Mohammadi, Mahdieh Golrou and Mohammad Seifzadeh
The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a joint programme of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), deplores the continuing harassment against prominent human rights defenders Nargess Mohammadi, Mahdieh Golrou and Mohammad Seifzadeh in Iran.
Last week, Ms. Nargess Mohammadi, Spokesperson and Vice-President of the Defenders of Human Rights Centre (DHRC), was summoned to the Islamic Revolution Prosecutor's Office based in Evin prison, where she was requested to submit her final statement against the criminal charges she is facing, which include "propaganda against the Islamic Republic," "assembly and collusion against the national security" and "opposition to the death penalty and membership of the LEGAM group" [1] . Subsequently, the Prosecutor's Office referred Ms. Mohammadi's case to the Islamic Revolution Court for trial, commenting in its report that Ms. Mohammadi's "opposition to death penalty means that she is opposed to qesas[2], established by a Sharia decree, and that she must therefore account for this." Whereas the Iranian authorities consider qesas as part of the 'divine laws', the Prosecutor's Office seems intent on exposing her to further judicial harassment in an attempt to sanction her human rights activities.
Ms. Mohammadi had also been detained and harshly interrogated for a few hours by the Ministry of Intelligence officials on December 26, 2014, while on her way to take part in an event commemorating the anniversary of the killing of an individual during protests in 2009[3].
The Observatory is also concerned about the refusal of judicial officials to allow DHRC founding member Mr.Mohammad Seifzadeh, currently in arbitrary detention, to seek medical care for his kidneys, even though prison doctors have confirmed that he needs to be treated outside of prison. It is also worth noting that although Mr. Seifzadeh had an appointment with a dentist on January 7, 2015, prison officials failed to send him to the dentist's office. In late September 2013, Branch 54 of the Appeals Court upheld a sentence of six years' imprisonment earlier imposed on Mr. Mohammad Seifzadeh on February 20, 2013[4].
Finally, the Observatory is also concerned about the condition of Ms. Mahdieh Golrou (also spelled Golru or Golroo), women's rights activist who was arrested on October 26, 2014, at her home in Tehran after she took part in a peaceful protest outside of the Iranian Parliament on October 22, 2014, to denounce a series of recent acid attacks against women in Esfahan, in central Iran. Ms. Golrou spent two months in solitary confinement in Section 2A of Evin prison, which is controlled by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, before being moved to a shared cell in the same section of the prison. On January 12, 2015, Ms. Golrou's case was referred to Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran. However, she has not yet been allowed to meet with the lawyer hired by her family to represent her.
The Observatory calls upon the Iranian authorities to release Mr. Seifzadeh and Ms. Golrou immediately and unconditionally, as their detention is arbitrary since it appears only aimed at sanctioning their human rights activities. The Observatory also calls on the Iranian authorities to put an end to any kind of harassment – including at the judicial level – against Mr. Seifzadeh, Ms. Nargess Mohammadi, Ms. Mahdieh Golrou and all human rights defenders in Iran.
[1] The LEGAM group is a campaign for a step-by-step abolition of the death penalty, which has been established by several human rights defenders and activists, including Ms. Nasrin Sotoudeh.
[2] Qesas is equivalent to retribution in kind, providing for "eye for an eye" retaliatory punishment for crimes.

An Interview with Ian on the subject of solo albums - 2015
An Interview with Ian on the subject of solo albums - 2015 Oct 29, 2015 0:08:12 GMT Gerrald Bostock, bambooflute, and 2 more like this
Post by Quizz Kid on Oct 29, 2015 0:08:12 GMT
I was recently lucky enough to get a quick interview with Ian prior to the U.S. leg of the 'Rock Opera' tour, focusing mainly on his solo works with a hint of what may come in 2016 and 2017.
ON THE QUESTION OF SOLO ALBUMS.
The Jethro Tull Group - The first I suppose was 'A', touted originally as a solo album, but eventually released as a Tull album, how was the transition to a new band at that time and was it a disappointment to see it eventually released as a Tull album rather than a solo effort?
Ian Anderson - An unfortunate early excursion into solo albums as the members of the band prior to the recording were understandably upset when I gave in to record company pressure and allowed it to be released as a band album. Mea Culpa.
TJTG - In retrospect, do you wish you had dropped the Tull name at that point?
IA - Well – for that album really, yes, although it had three current members of Jethro Tull on it. Martin, Dave Pegg and I. So it was 60% a Tull album anyway.
TJTG - Did you feel 'A' took you on a significantly different musical path away from Tull to warrant it being a solo album?
IA - The inclusion of Eddie Jobson meant it would be different whatever the outcome as a result of his musicality and array of keyboard sounds, plus, of course, his violin. Mark Craney too, was a powerhouse of skill and dexterity. You had to work to keep up with these guys; Scary for the staid and folky Dave Pegg obviously, but for Martin and me too.
TJTG - The first official Ian Anderson solo album was 'Walk into Light', in my book a vastly under-rated classic, how do you feel about it now?
IA - Really interesting songs – again with the double act of Peter Vettese in regard to arrangements and performing in the studio. This was a period of real emancipation of the electronic keyboard with the advent of digital technology, sampling, sequencing and access to a vast library of sounds. Useful experimentation in its time but, ultimately, not as satisfying as the good old piano or Hammond Organ.
TJTG - It was a particularly different feel being an electronic album, a darker more introspective album to my mind than you had penned for many years, did you find you varied your normal approach to song-writing for this album?
IA - Not consciously. It came from the mood of the time, getting away from the folky, light, whimsical style of 'Songs from the Wood', 'Heavy Horses', etc. Electronica was a necessary experiment for me to pursue to see what it could do for me as a writer by way of inspiration. Not a huge amount, as it turned out...
TJTG - You worked quite closely with Peter John Vettesse on it, was that difficult to accommodate from your previously normal work and song writing ethic?
IA - No, I am easy to work with when it involves great musicians who challenge my abilities and awareness.
TJTG - Many of those fans who enjoy the album, and it's Tull successor 'Under Wraps', were happy with the move towards a different sound but the decision to use the Linn drum machine has been criticised with many saying they would love to hear those tracks again with "real" drums, was the electronic drum sound something you were totally comfortable with at the time? Are there any tracks you might revisit to incorporate a real drum sound?
IA - The Linn Drum actually was programmed with my own Ludwig drum kit, sampled from the audio of me hitting the damn things! Of course, I would love to have 'Walk Into Light' and then 'Under Wraps' re-recorded with real drums. Especially 'Under Wraps' which has some great songs and great playing from Martin especially. Probably my most ambitious vocals too, except they wrecked my voice after a couple of tours of live singing every night.
TJTG - The next solo album was a long time in coming, was that due to a growing workload with Tull and less available time with your move towards other interests like the fish farms, or was it a general lack of interest in producing solo work?
IA - With new guys in the band, it was fun to explore their potential contributions over the next few years. I didn't feel the need to do more solo work as by then I was working in my own studio at home, producing and engineering as well as writing and performing. About as solo as any man would want. So much of the work of the band was done as overdubs. Not the way we did it before in the 60's and 70's or in these days now where it is all played live in the studio, as much as possible like a stage performance.
TJTG – 'Divinities' was a major departure from the previous outings, and one that I think was universally and warmly welcomed amongst fans, how did it come about?
IA - EMI's Classical division approached me with a view to making an album for them as a "Cross-over" Classical piece. It actually ousted my pal Sir James Galway from the number one slot in the Billboard Classical Crossover charts. Which probably means it sold more than 100 copies or whatever. But a number one is a number one. Especially if you are Sir Cliff, when these things count.
TJTG – Again, 'Divinities' was a piece that seemed to be developed in close co-operation with then Tull keyboard player Andy Giddings. Do you find collaborative working on your solo projects easier with a keyboard player?
IA - It is always easier to work with one other person in the creative confines of the studio rather than a group or band all having their say and voicing opinion. Next project for me is working with current keyboardist John O'Hara on a string quartet album of Tull Classics early next year.
TJTG - Was it easy working so closely with Andy Giddings on 'Divinities', and how would you compare your previous working relationships with collaborators, Eddie Jobson, Peter Vettese, Andy Giddings and John O'Hara, they all appear to have different strengths which you have brought to the fore in your solo releases.
IA - Not as quick, sometimes, as Andy liked to fiddle with various sounds to get the best result. Peter Vettese and Eddie Jobson were quicker to work with perhaps. But all were able to bring more variety to the table in terms of sounds and detail.
TJTG - Onto 'The Secret Language of Birds', a piece of work based I think on much more individual observational musings than previous themed solo pieces, yet it stands up collectively as a very strong solo outing, was it a deliberate departure from the previous forms?
IA - I tried to keep it fundamentally acoustic in texture. Mostly me with a variety of strung guitar and mandolin family instruments. A couple of drummers involved – known for their light and sensitive touch.
TJTG - It appeared similar with 'Rupi's Dance', would you consider both these albums to be more fully Ian Anderson solo pieces of work, with less collaboration with any particular keyboard players involvement?
IA - Yes – they are a pair really. Both very much with the same approach, writing environment and studio although Rupi's Dance was all digital multitrack recording for the first time.
TJTG - In listening to those solo albums now there is the strange feeling that any or none of the songs could possibly, and in some cases obviously, fit somewhere in the Tull canon of work, but in 2011 you took the bold step some would say of distinctly sharpening the slightly blurred line between Jethro Tull and your own solo work, by announcing the hiatus and eventual break away from Tull to concentrate distinctly Ian Anderson's solo work. What prompted the move to redefine the edges between the two?
IA - Well – the so-called solo albums are no different from the several pieces of recording from Aqualung onwards where many tracks were recorded by me alone in the studio and then supplemented by judicious additions by some other band members.
That approach actually began with A Christmas Song in 1968. The lines are as blurred today as always. That's why I use both my own name and the Tull brand in the marketing and promotion of concerts where the Tull repertoire is being played. It's easier if you start off with Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention, or Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band! Bill Haley And His Comets, Elvis Costello and The Attractions, Adam And The Ants etc. etc.
Remember, there was a brief moment when, prior to the name change to Jethro Tull in early February 1968, when we were known as Ian Henderson's (actual typo) Bag Of Blues....
TJTG - The last two albums have been well received by your fans and the growing new wave of Prog Rock fans, and both link to the former Tull piece "Thick as a Brick", did you deliberately set out to cater for the older generation Prog fan? Do you have a preference for that style of playing or genre?
IA - "Progressive Rock" is the description applied to Jethro Tull back in 1969, long before it was recognised as a catch-all genre. "Prog" is something different in my mind. I have no problem with the former, then and now. Last couple of records are broadly in a more progressive genre and, of course, "concept albums" to boot. I like the idea of drawing songs together with some connective tissue where possible. A good album is like a fine lady's leg: Elegant, shapely and joined together convincingly at hip, knee and ankle.
TJTG - You often cite a few influences from your early years of playing, such as Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, do you ever see yourself revisiting those influences and reverting to playing blues based pieces again?
IA - No. I love the Blues too much to sully it with my own feeble efforts.
TJTG - Back in the seventies you frequently topped the multi-instrumentalist polls in the music press, do you see yourself as a multi-instrumentalist these days, Are there any other musical instruments you might consider using in the future?
IA - Multi-instrumentalist only in the sense of playing a different instrument – the flute – rather than necessarily being a master of more than one. I seem to remember Keith Emerson figuring strongly there too. Piano AND organ. Wow! I think they were just desperate to point out that you didn't have to be a guitarist to win polls.
TJTG - Many fans have expressed their desire for a truly solo Ian Anderson album, just you with a truly acoustic set up, guitar, keyboards (piano) and flute, is it something you might ever consider?
IA - Yes. I have a project in mind for commencement 09.00 Jan 1st 2017. Until then, I don't want to think about it much. I much prefer the blank canvas of opportunity and whim.
TJTG - You announced that you would start work on your new solo album at 9.00 am on January 1st 2015. Given the work on TaaB2 and Homo Erraticus you can clearly write to a deadline, are you always that precise and ordered in the way you work?
IA - No – it's just a good time to start a project knowing that everyone else is either hung over or still in bed. No intrusions, interruptions or invasions. I actually started on the so-called Rock Opera project at 09.00 2nd January 2015 as I spent the 31st December in hospital for some minor surgery and didn't get home until late the next day, feeling a bit poorly and disinclined to work. What a slouch!
TJTG - You've had a resurgence in writing over recent years, but there was a long gap in releasing new material after 'Dot.Com', what was the reason for that?
IA - I was always writing stuff but apart from making a few demos didn't feel the urge to work with the then band line-up in the studio. Doane was in LA, Martin down in Devon and it wasn't convenient to just get together on a moment's notice. I think the studio environment had become a bit stale for Martin and me and neither of us were enjoying it much.
TJTG - I think over the last few years your standing as a solo artist has strengthened amongst most fans as well as outside the core Tull fan base, many years ago you said the thing about Tull and yourself was that the band or you could not be pigeonholed musically or in terms of fashion, how do you feel about the label Prog and more so your Prog God award?
IA - Prog is a bit of a laugh. A slightly derogatory term with some self-mocking good humour when we insiders use it. I rather doubt that young Steven Wilson likes being thought of as a "proggie" if he hears someone else say it. The incessant noodling of Yes or the instrumental posturing of ELP were sometimes a distraction to their great song-writing and huge achievements. But I guess I have done both myself! It's hard to stop when you are having fun.
TJTG - I presume you won't want to divulge too much about where your current direction is heading after the 'Jethro Tull' Opera at this stage but are there any new influences or interests that might be guiding you at this time?
IA - I just did, earlier, but I have a hankering for a couple more meaty projects before the game is finally up. I have never written many love songs so that might be a way to go. But probably the dark side of love. Somewhere between a Shakespeare love sonnet and a Macbeth murder. With an erect and thrusting flute to the fore.
Oooooh! I feel the excitement building already.
Where's that codpiece?
TJTG - My thanks to Ian and James for taking time out during a hectic build up to the start of the American Leg of the 'Rock Opera' tour which starts on November 1st in Chicago and continues through to 11th in Newark New Jersey. The tour then continues in Spain, Italy and Turkey

Cheers Tootull, an A+, I'm good with that!
Thanks David, much appreciated, seemed like an overlooked topic on some overlooked albums so. hopefully it opens up a wider appreciation of what they are.
The string quartet plan sounds good [as it has done for a time], but the potential for a reworked Under Wraps would keep me on tenterhooks.

I've always liked IA's solo albums, and seem to recall that Divinities and SLOB were popular with the fans at the times of their release. You're right abut Under Wraps: I love most of that album, but the tinny drum machine sound is a bit off-putting.

List of Edible Wild Plants in Louisiana

How to Identify Rabbit Poop
What Type of Birds Live in the Desert?
By Tom Pace
Louisiana is famous for its marshy bayous and coastal plains that create a unique ecology. When exploring nature in Louisiana, it's critical to understand what plants are edible and which ones are likely to make you sick. Once you have some familiarity with the Louisiana flora and can positively identify any any plants you consider eating, it will be safe to enjoy nature while taking sustenance from it as well.
Flowering and Leafy Plants
Many of the most filling wild plants in Louisiana are leafy shrubs and flowers with edible leaves and blossoms. The entire plants of the orach and the lotus flower (Nelumbo lutea) can be eaten. The chicory plant's roots are famously used to flavor New Orleans café au lait, but the entire plant is edible as well. The roots of the arrowhead plant are edible but should be boiled, if possible.
Grasses and Reeds
Grasses are an important source of wilderness survival because they often contain valuable sugars. In addition, edible reeds are very filling. Common edible grasses and reeds in Louisiana are the foxtail grass (but not false foxtail, which is inedible) and cat tails are easily found in the wild as well. Sugar cane is popularly cultivated for refining into sugar or molasses but can be found in the wild. Of course, the common reed (Phragmites) is very common in marshy areas throughout Louisiana and can be eaten.
Berries are among the most prized edible plants in the wild, but because many of them are poisonous is is crucial to know how to identify them properly. A quick mnemonic for identifying if a berry is safe to eat is to count the number of leaves: "leaves of three, not for me. Leaves of four, have some more." Because this rule is not infallible, seek out recognizable berries first and avoid conspicuous ones entirely. Common safe berries in Louisiana are mulberries (black or red), blackberries, and dewberries.

Der Gereonsklub, auch Gereonsklub von Künstlern und Kunstfreunden, war eine im Januar 1911 gegründete avantgardistische Künstlervereinigung in Köln, die bis zum Jahr 1913 bestand. Die Gründungsmitglieder waren Franz M. Jansen, Olga Oppenheimer und Emmy Worringer (1878–1961). Der Name basiert auf dem 1909/1910 nach einem Entwurf des Architekten Carl Moritz erbauten Gereonshaus, Gereonstraße 18–32, in dem Olga Oppenheimer ein Atelier besaß.

Für die Eröffnungsveranstaltung am 21. Januar 1911 entwarf Jansen die Einladungskarte. 1912 trat der Bonner Expressionist August Macke bei. Der Gereonsklub betätigte sich als kunstpädagogisches Zentrum und besaß eine von Olga Oppenheimer geleitete Malschule. Emmy Worringer und ihr Bruder, der bekannte Kunsthistoriker Wilhelm Worringer, organisierten Vortragsprogramme und einige Ausstellungen, wie die im Oktober 1911 gezeigte Ausstellung mit Bildern von Franz Marc. Die Redaktionsgemeinschaft des Blauen Reiters hatte hier Anfang 1912 die erste Station ihrer Wanderausstellung. Eine Paul-Klee-Ausstellung, die durch Vermittlung von Franz Marc und August Macke zustande gekommen war, erfolgte im November 1912, bei der 58 Zeichnungen und 6 Aquarelle gezeigt wurden. Robert Delaunays Gemälde wurden im März 1913 ausgestellt.

They're Baaack! Many of you thought your second mortgage or HELOC (Home Equity Line Of Credit) was long gone. After all, you were foreclosed on! Some of you even got a 1099-C on the account! Some of you still own the home and haven't heard from the lender in Years! Second mortgage lenders are coming back and with a vengeance, now demanding you pay in full! Now that your home may have got some of its value back, along come the bankers! Our response is Admit Nothing, Demand Proof!
April 2014: American First Credit Union sued our client for over $230,000.00 in the LA County Superior Court alleging amounts due on a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit). We settled it on the day of trial for $35,000, saving our client over $190,000 dollars.
This really is uncharted territory, even for the lenders. You absolutely must have a lawyer review your individual case. There are tax issues, statute of limitation issues, acceleration issues, and even litigation issues. While the days of junior lien holders accepting 10% or even less are long gone, these debts can be settled for less than 100%. There are situations where the debt can no longer be recovered by the lender. It takes a strong legal advocate with knowledge of the laws on your side to fight back. Do not be intimidated by the amounts, lawsuit threats, or even the threats to take your home. Fitzgerald & Campbell can assist you to resolve these matters. Call to find out how.

Telengana and Andhra has been facing heavy rains for the last few days under the influence of the Well Marked Low now lying over the region. While the rains have eased over Andhra Pradesh the situation has been turning grim for Telengana state as rains have been continuing. With more rains forecasted things could be come critical for the state particularly around the Vidharbha / Chhattisgarh / Telengana border areas. As the stalled Low Pressure continues to make very slow progress of moving across the Peninsular India it is expected to give heavy rains once again to the Deccan Plateau areas around the Northern fringes.
In the meanwhile the Southern Parts of Peninsular India presents a complete contrast to the Northern parts with crystal clear skies expected. A look at satellite image shows the dichotomy that exists within the Peninsular India. This clearer skies along with stiff Westerlies that has been blowing across Peninsular India has resulted in the day time temperatures staying very high over South Tamil Nadu. Today also places in South TN around Madurai are expected to see day time maximum of around 38 degrees as dry summer like weather continues over the region.
There is some chance of some isolated thunderstorms over North Coastal Tamil Nadu. Though convective instability is forecasted by models the region is under severe suppressed conditions which could prevent intense thunderstorm forming. Additionally thanks to the Westerlies sea breeze front is expected to struggle to move inland to provide necessary trigger for the thunderstorms as well.

What is this all about ? The principal objective of our enterprise is to create a testbed for comprehensive exploration of ideas behind the practical application of the S emantic W eb in computational chemistry. The aforementioned working testbed (Chemical Semantics Portal) is initially limited to computational chemistry and a limited class of users. In addition, we will focus on the semi-empirical , ab - initio and density functional (DFT) calculations of quantum chemistry and their typical results. The purpose of this talk is to present the ideas of the Semantic Web and their possible application in computational chemistry, and to present the working prototype of the Chemical Semantic Portal.
What is wrong with today's Web?
Semantic Web allows Discovery Semantic Web tools for building " inteligent " vocabularies – RDFS (RDFS Schema) and OWL ontologies allow for simple logical INFERENCES and discovery of IMPLICIT facts. For example: When a user searches for a molecule with specific properties , it is possible to automatically provide him with other molecules that belong to the same " class " of molecules . .
Antoine Lavoisier " Traité élémentaire de chimie " Early ideas in ontology "We think only through the medium of words. --Languages are true analytical methods. (…) The art of reasoning is nothing more than a language well arranged . Thus, while I thought myself employed only in forming a Nomenclature, and while I proposed to myself nothing more than to improve the chemical language, my work transformed itself by degrees, without my being able to prevent it, into a treatise upon the Elements of Chemistry.

Q: How can I get my flexed content to stop wrapping? What I'm looking to do is have the navigation menu slide under the name for smaller screen sizes. My mark-up is this:

My Name

Home

                ...

I have display: flex, flex-direction: row on header so it puts the h1 and nav on the same line.

When I shrink the viewport to the point that it does this, I want the entire nav to fall under the name, rather than wrap. If I put nowrap on the whitespace of both items, the nav overflows to the right.

I know I can use a media-query to flip it, but I want it to respond without one. I know it's possible, but I can't quite get it right.

A: Short answer is to add header {flex-wrap: wrap;} and header ul {dispplay: flex;}, so that
 and  wrap as needed, but all
s won't wrap.

header {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: center;
}

header ul {
  list-style: none;
  padding-left: 0;
  display: flex;
}

header li:not(:last-child) {
  margin-right: 1rem;
}

Nick Fisherman: Microstory 2: Umm......What?
And so it was not that the man and his pet daffodil made the tedious and brief journey across the barren ocean sky. Burning snow rose from the ground and disappeared into the forest of plastic rubber bands. A miniature giant roared quietly and asked for spare change. The man took the change from the giant and apologized for its gratitude. The daffodil lifted her arms and bowed. The man smiled darkly before throwing the daffodil into a nearby meteor shower and forgetting about it nostalgically. The overshadow of an inferior man blinded the man as he slipped into something less comfortable. The end was far behind. The man whose name was Bob opened the window and jumped in to say goodbye to Bob whose name was The Man. And I lifted my eyes to see the valley below. And there I could hear the silent faces of the man; the man, Bob; Bob the Man; the miniature giant; the inferior man; the daffodil; and the temporary mouse. And then she unlocked the doors of the bowling alley on the sixth day of school. And someone said, "um...what?" I think it was you.

It's no secret Americans value sports. Young boys in particular dream of playing professional basketball or football, relishing the idea of fame and fortune. This dream grows in underprivileged areas.
I once presented at career day at a high school in Detroit. When I went around the room to ask students what they wanted to be when they grew up, the majority of the boys wanted to play professional basketball or football. Never mind that they were smaller than me (and who knows if they had any talent). That was their dream.
My presentation turned into explaining that even the brightest stars need an education.
What will these players do once their playing days are over in their late 20s or early 30s? Money runs out.
The boys in particular were genuinely stunned.
Million Dollar Mistake
It's so common in professional sports it's depressing. Young men dream of becoming a professional athlete because it will "set them up for life." They are the rare exception that actually has the talent. They make it, they blow their money, and they don't know what to do with their lives.
The value of education rings true on a number of levels in that scenario. Not only are these kids lost in terms of vocation, they could have spared themselves wasting the money in the first place had they received an education in life skills.
Embracing Education
Jordan Morgan grew up in Detroit, Mich. with a single mother, spending a brief period in a homeless shelter. Jordan was adopted by his dad at 13 and grew up knowing the value of an education.
A talented basketball player, Jordan was recruited to play at the University of Michigan. Instead of focusing solely on sports, he earned his undergraduate and master's degrees in engineering.
"My favorite toy growing up was Legos," he told a Michigan radio station. "I was always a taker, a builder. I was always really good at math and I love science, but not everybody has the same exposure I had or the same experiences I had."
A Change Advocate
Now a professional basketball player overseas, Jordan's foundation, The Jordan Morgan Foundation, ensures kids in Detroit are exposed to education the way he was.
His annual basketball camp incorporates lessons in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and academic excellence, and his inaugural LAUNCH! STEM program is allowing 100 Detroit-area students a six-week walk through science, technology, engineering, and math.
Both programs are free.
Personalized Passion
Jordan's STEM program does more than put kids in a classroom to listen to ideas. While the teachers at all three sites follow the STEM.org curriculum, the foundation asked STEM.org for recommendations before putting field trips into place for the students.
"We have visited Willow Run Airport, Yankee Air Museum, Ann Arbor Hands On Museum, Google Headquarters, and the Michigan Science Center, and will be meeting at the Taubman Architecture Center at Michigan," said Jordan.
"Our goal is to inspire the next generation of learners growing up in an area where they otherwise may not have been exposed to STEM subjects."
The JMF partnered with Detroit Area Pre College Engineering Program (DAPCEP) to connect with students interested in attending. The concept was so well received that the foundation's original goal of 40 students was eclipsed by 60.
"We didn't feel right turning down the kids, so we opened two additional sites to accommodate them," said Jordan. "This means we need to raise additional funds."
JMF Campaign
LAUNCH! STEM has one week remaining before it wraps up its inaugural year. The foundation is receiving positive responses from both parents and students, who are returning home after the program touting what they've learned.
"It shows that our participants have not only internalized the things that they've learned, but there's been a transfer into their actions, what they talk about, and what they do at home," said Jordan.

Q: Plotly.js - gd.data must be an array I am using the Plotly.js library to draw 3D graphs. My plan is to draw 4 traces into one 3D graph. But I encounter some strange behavior of my website when I try do this.
Sometimes, when I load my site I get no error and all 4 traces are loaded perfectly in my 3D graph. But at another time not all of my traces are loaded into my graph and I get the error:
Error: gd.data must be an array.

This is my function for adding the traces from a CSV file:
function addTraceFromCSVdarkColor(divname,link)
{
    Plotly.d3.csv(link, function(err, rows)
    {
        function unpack1(rows, key)
        {
            return rows.map(function(row) { return row[key]; });
        }

        var trace1 = {
            x: unpack1(rows, 'x'),
            y: unpack1(rows, 'y'),
            z: unpack1(rows, 'z'),
            mode: 'lines',
            type: 'scatter3d',
            opacity: 0.5,
            line:
            {
                color: 'rgb(252, 185, 0)',
                size: 2,
                opacity: 0.5
            }
        };

        var data = [trace1];
        Plotly.addTraces(divname,data);
    });
}

And this is how i create the 3D graph:
function print3DMultiGraphMain(divname,link)
{
    Plotly.d3.csv(link, function(err, rows)
    {
        function unpack1(rows, key)
        {
        return rows.map(function(row) { return row[key]; });
        }

        var trace1 = {
            x: unpack1(rows, 'x'),
            y: unpack1(rows, 'y'),
            z: unpack1(rows, 'z'),
            mode: 'lines',
            type: 'scatter3d',
            line:
            {
                color: 'rgb(252, 185, 0)',
                size: 2
            }
        };

        var data = [trace1];
        var layout = {
            autorange: false,
            width: 800,
            height: 800,
            scene:

                    z: 1
                },
                x: 0,
                y: 0,
                camera:
                {
                    center:
                    {
                        z: 0
                    },
                    eye:
                    {
                        x: 1.25,
                        y: 1.25,
                        z: 1.25
                    },
                    up:
                    {
                        x: 0,
                        y: 0,
                        z: 1
                    }
                },
                xaxis:
                {
                    type: 'linear',
                    range: [0, 200],
                    zeroline: false
                },
                yaxis:
                {
                    type: 'linear',
                    zeroline: false,
                    range: [0, 200]
                },
                zaxis:
                {
                    type: 'linear',
                    zeroline: false,
                    range: [0, 200]
                }
            },
        };
        Plotly.newPlot(divname, data, layout,{displayModeBar: false});
    });
}

And this is how I call the functions in my html file:
<script>
print3DMultiGraphMain('tester','out1.csv');

addTraceFromCSVlightColor('tester','out2.csv');
addTraceFromCSVdarkColor('tester','out3.csv');
addTraceFromCSVlightColor('tester','out4.csv');
</script>

A: The error gd.data must be an array is going to occur when the div containing the chart does not have a property dataof type Array.
This might be because the chart is not properly initialized yet when you try to add traces, e.g. in case your asynchronous MultigraphMain call completes after one of your addTrace calls.
In order to circumvent the problem you have to wait for the chart to be created before you try to add traces. Plotly.newPlot() returns a promise. I have attached a minimal showcase below.

var trace1 = {
  x: [1, 2, 3, 4],
  y: [10, 15, 13, 17],
  type: 'scatter'
};

var trace2 = {
  x: [1, 2, 3, 4],
  y: [16, 5, 11, 9],
  type: 'scatter'
};

function sleep(ms) {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

async function getInitialData() {
  // simulate HTTP call
  await sleep(2000);
  return trace1;
}

getInitialData().then((trace) => {
 Plotly.newPlot('myPlot', [trace]).then(
    () => {
     Plotly.addTraces('myPlot', [trace2]);
    }
  );
})

// if you call addTraces here, it is going to fail
// Plotly.addTraces('myPlot', [trace2]);

Basement egress windows provide a way to get out of the basement in case of emergency. Although older building codes did not require egress basement windows, you will need to follow current building code regulations if you are doing any renovations in your basement and will therefore be required to now include an egress as part of your basement remodeling plans. The codes are especially strict if you are planning on putting a bedroom in your basement.
Egress basement windows also must allow for easy opening so that entry and exit and can be made quickly. Most building regulation codes require an egress in the basement of new homes or basement renovations, assuming the basement space is comprised of finished and habitable rooms. There are even stricter requirement if there will be a bedroom in the basement.
The cost of an egress project will vary depending on the type of window you are installing and the level of difficulty involved in the installation. Casements, sliders and double-hungs are the most common options.
Where the expense starts adding up is in the installation. This is because most basements are made from cement or concrete and cutting through the walls to install a window can be a huge undertaking. If you have more above-ground space, the upper part of your walls may be made from wood studs and sheetrock, making the installation far easier, and therefore, far less expensive. Unless you are simply replacing the window that was already installed, installing is not an easy DIY project.
The most obvious advantage to installing a basement egress window is safety. By having an emergency exit that is large enough to allow entry and exit, it makes your family and visitors safer since, if there is a fire, there is an easy and quick form of exit. Firefighters can also enter your home more easily in the event of a fire. Aside from the safety issues, however, egress windows can also make your basement more livable. They can add light, making the space brighter and also increasing its warmth due to the sunlight streaming in. In fact, since they make your basement look and feel more livable, it can add to the overall value of your home, so it is a good investment in your home's value. Window wells outside of the window can also be used to house plants and flowers, adding to the aesthetic beauty of what you can see from the basement (assuming they don't block the egress through the window).
The primary disadvantage of a basement egress is that it make your home more vulnerable to intruders. Since the window is by its very design large enough to fit a person through it, an egress makes for an easy target for criminals. It is also located at the ground floor, an easy place for intruders to enter. Therefore, it is important to make sure that you have installed secure locks and latches.
Older building codes typically didn't require an egress, but stricter requirements are now required. The International Residential Code, which creates minimum regulations governing one and two family residences, requires egress windows if you have a finished and habitable space or if there is a bedroom. The code also requires window wells outside the egress. The technical specifications for egress windows require that the opening be a minimum of 18″ wide by 30″ high. The windows need to offer an unimpeded opening of at least 5.7 sq ft. There are maximums set on the size of the windows as well – these are 54″ wide and 76″ high, and windows cannot exceed a maximum combined measurement of 108″. Basement egress windows must also be installed no more than 44″ above the floor.

"Changing lives through the Gospel of Jesus Christ!"
"Passionate Christians and Active Life Groups Planting the Gospel throughout Greater Pittsburgh"
We believe God has always been and will always be, existing in three co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is known as the Trinity.
We believe Jesus was conceived through the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life. He died for our sins, substituting Himself in our place, thereby taking the punishment we deserved.
He was raised from the dead on the third day by God's power, providing victory of death that God gives to all who believe. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father.
We believe in the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of sin and judgment. Through Him, people are made alive in Christ and are enabled to live for Him.
We believe the Bible is absolutely without error and, therefore, is our authority for faith and living. The Bible consists of the Old and New Testaments.
We believe God created all that is seen and unseen, and He sustains everything that exists.
We believe man and woman were created in God's image, but rebelled against God by disobeying His commands. They sinned and were separated from God, incurring both physical and spiritual death. All people are born with a sin nature.
We believe salvation is received by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Believers receive a pardon for their sins and the gift of eternal life.
We believe the anticipated return of Jesus our Lord is certain, visible, and physical.
We believe the ordinances of the church are the believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper.
We believe the church is responsible for spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior both locally and globally.
We believe the Bible teaches that marriage is designed by God to be between a man and a woman. Therefore, our practice is to marry only a biological man to a biological woman.
