A new paper sculpture, mirroring the heat of summer. The spark of creativity, and the fire inside. How do we draw on the fire, and not have it consume us? As I reflect on the biblical and mythological tales, I envision the cauldron of collective wisdom and experience on which we draw when we live and create. Wrestling with the tension between solitude and connection, I feel the great heartbreak of the world, living and breathing as one, yet still so separate. At times I feel so utterly helpless to right the wrongs, or even lessen the pain and burdens of those I love and care for. My best understanding is that I have to love with all my heart and strength and the work of my hands, and then entrust it to the healing force so much greater than mine.

One of the nice things about holidays is having family visit. So it was so fab being with my human sis Sydne and my niece Bunnybell. It is a good thing that my new stroller is extra wide, so Bunnybell can sit next to me. But I think if she eats any more holiday treats she may need to ride down below!
Rosy, I think you are part of a very nice family picture.
Rosy you guys look so cozy & happy riding in your new stroller! BunnyBell looks happy to be spending time with you guys. So great to get to see family!
You both look very smart ! Don't worry about Bunnybell's girth, it will just be extra padding for you on any tight turns or bumps your driver makes. Think of her as a lovely black cushion !

Q: \vec conflict between llncs.cls and MnSymbol I would like to use MnSymbol alongside Springer's LNCS class file, llncs.cls, which can be found in this zip file and in many other places on the web.
\documentclass{llncs}
\usepackage{MnSymbol}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

I get the dreaded ! LaTeX Error: Command\vec' already defined.`
What's the cleanest, simplest way to undefine the \vec introduced by llncs.cls so that I can \usepackage{MnSymbol}?

A: I just found this solution in an old project:
\let\oldvec\vec% Store \vec in \oldvec
\documentclass{llncs}
\let\vec\oldvec% Restore \vec from \oldvec

I guess this answers my own question, but maybe there's something less hacky.

A: The class llncs redefines \vec unless the orivec option is used.
\documentclass[orivec]{llncs}
\usepackage{MnSymbol}
\begin{document}

Hello! $\vec{x}$

\end{document}

Usual caveat: using MnSymbol without setting the main font to Minion is not really typographically sound, as MnSymbol changes all symbols to a style that's rather different from other fonts' style.

Finally!!! A pot for my tree.
This Stunning, and i mean stunning, Tokoname pot was for sale at our last Bonsai show in Castlemaine. I was VERY surprised nobody had snapped it up and i did so immediately. I instantly saw my little English elm in it and that came into being today. I have been working on the little E.E for some time now and, at 220mm, qualifies as a bonefide Shohin. The tree is another 4-5 years off yet and i think the combination works very well. I scored another couple and will keep you posted. The pots had been sitting in the previous owners shed since he purchased them in Japan in the 60's-70's? and they have been there ever since. He became unwell and got rid of everything Bonsai through our club so i thank him and am very grateful.
Re: Finally!!! A pot for my tree.
Nice pot, Looks like a Koyo.
I am guessing its made of black clay?
Jow wrote: Nice pot, Looks like a Koyo.
Hi Joe, Not a pot expert as you know but when we next meet i will get you to I.D it, rumour has it you are doing a session with us a Castlemaine?
It looks very much like an older Koyo. Black clay will be the tell along with the stamp but the glaze is very much in Koyo's style of this era. Its a really nice shape and probably a little more rare than larger sizes for the time period. As shohin is far more popular now, more pots are being made in this size as a result.
If i am i haven't yet been contacted by Castlemaine, but more than happy to come up for a visit. I am pretty flat out with bookings this year but can probably fit you guys in.

Great Pot and great tree ,well done Bodhidharma.
Such a deep pot needs a stumpy solid tree, and such a strong glaze needs a dramatic tree - well matched. Neither are easy to pair up. It's good when karma works with you.
Thanks all, i don't often get chuffed when something comes together but i am in love with this setting. Can't wait till the tree has some more ramification.

Jet2, Ryanair, easyJet, TUI: Government urged to pay for 'hugely expensive' PCR test costs
There have also been calls to abandon the traffic light system

US and EU travellers who are fully vaccinated against coronavirus will be allowed to enter England and Scotland without the need to quarantine from Monday (Image: Steve Parsons/PA Wire)
Flying abroad can be costly when you factor in coronavirus testing and now some believe the government should be covering this cost.
Testing after travelling is a bid by the government to stop the spread of the virus and, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), they should be the ones picking up the bill.
The WTTC say the cost of "hugely expensive and unnecessary" PCR tests for double-jabbed Brits should be paid for by the UK government, according to LancsLive.
The tests on average cost around £75.
Read more: 'I visited Cambridge's oldest Italian deli and it felt like home'
It follows a request from Health Secretary Sajid Javid for the Competition and Markets Authority to step in and investigate "excessive" pricing and "exploitative practices" among some PCR Covid test firms.
This comes after reports of vast differences paid by travellers for PCR tests by different companies with UK PCR tests among the costliest in Europe.
This is partly due to the 20 per cent VAT charge on top of the basic price.
The average cost of a PCR test is around £75 but this varies between providers, reports TravelWeekly.
Some firms are charging up to £400 for express PCR test results within 90 minutes.
Genomic sequencing data from PCR tests is harvested by the government to rapidly identify variants of concern, understand transmission and slow the spread.
However, the WTTC is challenging why consumers should have to pay for this.
They argue that if the government refuses to pay for PCR tests, it should at the very least replace the need for PCR day two tests from green and amber countries with affordable and effective antigen tests for fully vaccinated travellers.
As in other countries, only those testing positive should need to take a PCR test.
Virginia Messina, WTTC acting chief executive, said: "For many people – especially families and small businesses on a budget – the crippling added cost of the unnecessary PCR tests makes the difference between being able to travel or not.
"It's clear that many British adults simply can't afford to travel overseas at all if they have to pay the excessive cost of PCR tests.
"More affordable antigen tests, with PCR tests for those who do test positive, will help keep travellers safe and make taking a trip overseas within the budget of most people.
"But if the government wants extra information for genomic sequencing – they should pay for it. If they don't pay, then consumers will vote with their feet and avoid international travel altogether, further damaging the already struggling UK travel and tourism sector.
"At the very least, we support the investigation by the CMA to look into the excessive pricing of PCR tests which is deterring the revival of international travel.
"Unless the government sees sense and accepts the financial responsibility for PCR tests for the fully vaccinated, WTTC fears the UK Travel & Tourism sector is going to continue to buckle while demand for travel remains depressed."
The WTTC last week called on the government to abandon the confusing traffic light system and replace it with green and red list categories.

Set in the magnificent culture of the Middle East more than four thousand years ago, Lilah is a rich and emotionally resonant story of faith, love, and courage.Living in exile, Lilah is in love with Antinoes, a Persian warrior. They have known each other since they were children, and Antinoes dearly wants to make Lilah his wife. Yet Lilah does not feel she can marry without the blessing of her brother, Ezra. She and Ezra are close, and Lilah knows her brother well—he does not want his sister to have a husband outside their faith. Ezra is a scholar of the laws of Moses, and Lilah believes it is her brother's destiny to lead the Jewish people back to the Promised Land. While Antinoes pressures her to accept his proposal, Lilah realizes that before she can consider her own happiness, it is her duty to help her brother accomplish the seemingly impossible task that is before him.Putting herself in grave danger, and with the help of Antinoes, Lilah wins Ezra an audience with Artaxerxes II, the King of Kings, who grants permission to lead the exiles on their journey back to the Promised Land. After a hazardous trip across the desert, Lilah, Ezra, and the thousands who join them arrive in Jerusalem. But the hardship of rebuilding the Temple takes its toll, and the religious enthusiasm of some turns to extremism. Ezra, listening to the zealots, orders all non-Jewish wives and their children banished from Jerusalem. Lilah, whose love for Antinoes has never wavered, is horrified by this command. She knows she must now choose between her brother and her conscience, which tells her that the time has come to defy him.Lilah is a timeless story of one woman's stand against intolerance; it will linger in the reader's mind long after the last page has been turned.

Discover the beautiful Cló Gaelach – a Gaelic script typical of the old Irish writing style.
What is the Cló Gaelach?
You may not realise it, but chances are that you are already familiar with the Cló Gaelach (pronounced "kloh gway-luck"). An Cló Gaelach (Gaelic type) is another name for the old Irish alphabet used specifically for texts in the Irish language. This beautiful ancient script can be found adorning oad signs, street names and shop signs across Ireland.
The Cló Gaelach was widely used across Ireland from the 16th until the mid-20th centuries. The Cló Gaelach offered a useful vernacular alternative to the Latin alphabet – also known as the cló Rómhánach.
The Cló Gaelach first emerged in the 16th century as a typeface intended for to be used for the brand new technology of block printing. In fact, the first Gaelic typeface was designed in 1571 for a religious work commissioned by Elizabeth I to help convert the Irish Roman Catholic population to Anglicanism.
An example of English text written in the Cló Gaelach style. God Bless Our Home 8 Inch Plate.
replace them with the Cló Rómhánach. In addition to this, schoolchildren were no longer taught how to write in the old Irish style and were instead taught Irish through the Latin alphabet.
You can still see evidence of the iconic Cló Gaelach script throughout the country, however these days it is used primarily for decorative purposes.
