Lars Kwakkenbos new dean of KASK & Conservatorium (19.09.19)
From 23 September 2019, Lars Kwakkenbos will be the new dean of KASK & Conservatorium, the school of arts of HOGENT and Howest. He succeeds Wim De Temmerman.
Lars Kwakkenbos is currently chairman of the Department of Film, Photography and Drama and a lecturer at various levels of KASK & Conservatorium. He has been with the school of arts since 2008.
Lars Kwakkenbos (44) holds a master's degree in Art Sciences and a master's degree in History, both from the KULeuven. In addition to his assignment at KASK & Conservatorium, he is actively involved in #NoFilter, a collaboration of Kunstenfestivaldesarts with Jeugdhuis Chicago and the VMJ-D'Broej and TransfoCollect in Brussels. He was previously an editor and dramaturge at the Kunstenfestivaldesarts and wrote for De Standaard and Klara (2002-2007), De Morgen, Etcetera, Rekto:Verso, A+, De Blauwe Kamer and others. He co-authored the Flanders Architecture Yearbook (2007-2008) and the Culture Plan for Brussels (2009).
Koen Goethals, general director of HOGENT, explains: "The board members of HOGENT recognise a talented and driven person in Lars who, based on innovative and fresh ideas and in close cooperation with all employees, will further develop KASK & Conservatorium into a landmark in higher art education and the arts field. They have every confidence in this and wish him every success. The board also expresses its appreciation for Wim De Temmerman who, through his many years of commitment, has transformed KASK & Conservatorium into the respected institute it is today."
Lars Kwakkenbos is looking forward to his start: "Over the past few decades, our school has developed into a benchmark for contemporary and cosmopolitan education in and around the arts, in Flanders and beyond. I am extremely proud and happy that I can help KASK & Conservatorium and the work of all colleagues and students in Ghent and Kortrijk in the right direction".

The engine mount was finally coated about three weeks back. The finish was so nice, [not to mention convenient, that someone else was doing it instead of me painting it] that I have decided on powder coating the fuselage. The price is right - the finish, awesome.
A while back, I had decided to bring the sheet metal to the rear of the rear pit. At that time, I made new formers to match the continuity line of the turtledeck. This unfortunately made all the stringer stand off attach points mis-aligned - they all required a redux :0| the dominoe effect of a seemingly simple decision change never ceases to amaze me..
I was initially using aluminium screen door frame material for stringers, trouble is, some of my stringers need cut-outs for tube members, as soon as I attempted to cut out a stringer, it was obvious that the integrity of the alum' box went to crap. So, I moved over to spruce [5/16 x 7/8]. The spruce has just arrived, so I will be tackling that job next.

'Westworld' Season 2 Trailer: These Violent Delights Get Second Seasons
Posted on Thursday, March 29th, 2018 by Jacob Hall
It's been about a year and a half since HBO's Westworld ended its first season with a cryptic, violent bang. Revolution is in the air. The robots are angry and the humans are looking…well, human. Meaning easy to kill.
A new Westworld season 2 trailer has arrived to tease next month's premiere. And if you thought this hybrid of science fiction and western was going to get any less twisted and bizarre and prone to making your head spin right off its shoulders, showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy are ready to prove you wrong.
Westworld Season 2 Trailer
As you may recall, season 1 of Westworld concluded with the robotic Hosts populating Delos' immersive futuristic theme park gaining sentience and declaring war on their human creators. Anthony Hopkins' Robert Ford was gunned down. Ed Harris' Man in Black/William took a bullet in the arm. Dolores' furious expression spoke a thousand unspoken words as she opened fire on the meatbags responsible for her continuous torture and torment.
And, of course, we saw our first glimpse of Westworld's sister park, Shogunworld. Just when you thought you had figured everything out, a puzzle piece from another puzzle entirely falls into your lap.
Plot details about Westworld season 2 have been played close to the vest. After all, that's what a good gambler would do and this series is nothing if not a good gambler. It gambles that we'll care about these robots. It gambles that we'll be fascinated by this intricate future theme park. It gambles that we'll be invested in the corporate espionage behind-the-scenes at Delos, the company behind Westworld. It gambles that a science fiction show that deconstructs video games, theme park experiences, and storytelling itself can balance its grander ideas alongside HBO's trademark lurid violence and sexual content.
Westworld is not the next Game of Thrones, as many predicted it could become. It's just the first Westworld.
Anyway, we do know that season 2 is subtitled "The Door," which suggests that this batch of episodes will take us outside of the park and beyond. (Season 1 was subtitled "The Maze"). If this season is half as ambitious and gonzo as season 1, we're in for a treat. So prepare yourself: the fan theories will be flying fast and furious come next month as we all try to figure out what the hell is going on. And we'll be loving every minute of it.
Westworld season 2 premieres on April 22, 2018.

We recently added another gallery wall upstairs. Last time I made shelves, but this time I bought RIBBA frames from Ikea. Here is the wall before. To the left are the stairs to the entry, so as you walk up into the house this is the first thing that grabs your eye (now that there is something doing the grabbing). The wood thing with the nobs is to hold a quilt or something. We didn't remove it because I couldn't, I didn't want to, I just realized it now. Those are shadows too, the wall doesn't look like it has smoke damage.
And here it is mid-install. I asked Nolan to hang the pictures one day when I was still at work. Nolan can't read my mind, I don't know why I haven't figured that out yet. He sent me this picture and I ended up just telling him to wait until I get home. Oh and that dark line? That's the wallpaper starting to peel.
After I got home and told Nolan the deal he quickly and happily (BA!) hung them all.
I love symmetrical gallery walls! Looks great!


I've been thinking negatively for awhile.
I had been getting to a slightly (VERY slightly) complacent stage in my painting, so I decided to challenge myself with working on a weakness of mine: negative painting - which is painting the space around objects rather than the objects themselves. My brain just DOES NOT GET IT. I get it intellectually but not in any measure of decent practicality. Oh, I have no problem when the shapes are simple or geometric, but when they are organic and complex...blah!!
I have a pile of failures to show for it, but I won't burden you with them.
On a different note, I have decided to take on the challenge of a fellow artist to earn my "Artistic License" by creating a sketch a day for 75 days. I loved her whimsy and decided to go for it. After all, I have a beautiful journal that has been calling me.
You should not feel bad. I don't know which one is negative and which one is positive.
I've been sketching daily, too! What artist suggested the challenge?
Kate: Brenda Swenson. I have her blog link on this page if you would like to see her beautiful work. She is very adept at negative painting!


French electronic music icons Justice just dropped a nice tease for fans everywhere, as they released their new single 'D.A.N.C.E.' x 'Fire' x 'Safe and Sound'" from their upcoming album 'Woman Worldwide'.
The album is available for pre-order, with the official release occurring on August 24th. You can pre-order the album here.


text: Fountains were originally purely functional, connected to springs or aqueducts and used to provide drinking water and water for bathing and washing to the residents of cities, towns and villages. Until the late 19th century most fountains operated by gravity, and needed a source of water higher than the fountain, such as a reservoir or aqueduct, to make the water flow or jet into the air The history of fountains in India is as old as our existence. The Shalimar Gardens built by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1641, were said to be ornamented with 410 fountains, which fed into a large basin, canal and marble pools. Fountains are said to bring positivity to one's surrounding.

Green lasers are generally a bit bulkier, so that's probably why. Also, be careful importing laser sights, if they put out more than 1mw, then they're likely to get seized by customs. I doubt you want any attention from them considering your collection.
Edit: Oops seems there isn't any in the results even though half of the results say "trigger guard mount"
"what happens in Vegas, stays in vegas!.... Except herpes, that crap'll come back with you"
I'll look into this,I have a few pistols that I want to use Green Lasers on but need a Trigger Guard Mount style cause you cant mount a rail on the ones I have. I'll have to PM you Archie cause I'm useless with electrics!

What next? 4 ways to build a sustainable future
By Matt Dallisson, 30/09/2018
Here are some of the biggest stories of the week:
1. We announced 100 Coalitions accelerating climate action and sustainable development
"The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals is an absolute must to ensure a peaceful and prosperous future for humankind. Governments are challenged to fulfil their commitments, but business has a key role to play in providing the know-how and the technologies to reach the objective in more efficient and innovative ways," said Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum.
Click on the image below to learn more about how the individual coalitions are achieving the 17 SDGs:
2. Vice-President Al Gore, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and California Governor Jerry Brown: Everyone needs to do their part to save the environment
In a plenary session about the sprint to 2020, Al Gore, Vice-President of the United States, 1993-2001 and Founder of the Climate Project encouraged each and every one of us to be part of the solution toward securing our shared environmental resources and solving the climate crisis.
New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio reiterated his decision to invest 2% of the city's pension portfolio in green investment by the year 2021.

The Prime Minister of Denmark, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, also pressed the importance of everyone working together:
And Jerry Brown says "it's time for all hands on deck":
3. We announced the Social Entrepreneurs of the Year 2018
Girls' education, sexual violence, prison reform, financial inclusion and disaster relief are among the issues addressed by the 12 honourees recognized by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship as the 2018 Social Entrepreneurs of the Year.
Among them is the first Muslim woman from Kenya's Marsabit region to receive a law degree, which she is using to help create more resilient and peaceful communities in the drought- and conflict-prone region; a Dutch phone manufacturer who is changing the way smartphones are made; and a Brazilian man who created a prisoner rehabilitation programme that has successfully brought recidivism rates down from 85% to 30%.
"Social entrepreneurs leverage the power of market forces and business principles to solve social problems in ways that benefit the marginalized and the poor," says Hilde Schwab, chairperson and co-founder of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship. "Their work is often carried out in areas where government and the private sector are unable to achieve meaningful outcomes and involves considerable creativity coupled with pragmatism."
Watch the full award session here:
4. Finding the financing needed to deliver the SDGs is challenging, but not impossible
How do we finance impact? That was the main question discussed at the session "Mobilizing Finance for Impact", moderated by Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund.
"14 % of GDP is going to be needed in terms of fiscal space by the low-income and developing countries in order to reach the sustainable development goals, which is a massive number by their account," Lagarde said.

Cantley was also the Secretary for OECD's Internal Co-ordination Group on Biotechnology (ICGB), established in 1993, to facilitate internal co-ordination among the sectors of agriculture; science, technology, and industry; environment; and trade.
In July 2001 another major OECD conference was held in Bangkok entitled 'New Biotechnology Food and Crops: Science, Safety and Society'.

Grassroots members must participate in choosing flagbearer – Team Alabi
The campaign team of Prof Joshua Alabi, National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer hopeful, has called on the party leadership to give meaning to provisions of the party's constitution that allows grassroots participation in the election of a new flag bearer.
According to the campaign team, the party's constitution, allows party leaders even at the ward level to be part of this important decision making.
Speaking at a press conference, Victor Adawudu, Coordinator of Professor Joshua Alabi's campaign, said the party leadership must empower the grassroots to this effect.
"In involving the branch executives in the flagbearer elections, one of the ways of addressing the concerns is allowing the branches to own the party and partake in the election of their leaders."
"Team Alabi believes to strengthen all structures of the party to build a very strong party for election 2020, the grassroots represented by the branch executives should be deeply involved.
We'll restructure to attract more youth – Brogya Gyenfi
An aspiring National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Youth Organizer, Brogya Gyenfi believes the party would win the support of more youth in the country if a deputy youth organizer portfolio is created at the party's branch level.
According to him, the new portfolio will aid in sharpening the NDC's youth structure which can spearhead campaigns in elections.
"We need to restructure the entire youth structure because that's how you will be able to function and to be able to lead a campaign."
'Alabi more marketable than Mahama' – Ken Dzirasah
A former Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Ken Dzirasah, has said the former Krowor Member of Parliament, Prof. Joshua Alabi, is the best candidate to represent the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2020 elections.
According to the party elder, his decision to support Joshua Alabi was informed by the potential difficulty the NDC would have in marketing the former President John Mahama who led the party to lose the 2016 elections.
"I want to say that after several reflections on the way forward for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), myself and my good brother Ambassador Philip Gbeho conducted few investigations and came to the conclusion that the most marketable personality that could carry us into the year 2020, as a Flagbearer is Prof. Joshua Alabi."
"We have found he has all it takes, his achievements, his attitude towards the party, and a host of other things. Another fact of the issue is that we need to market someone that can lead the party for 8 years so we came to that conclusion."

UK Retail Spending Picks Up In May
Published on Jun 7 2016 12:07 PM in Retail tagged: Trending Posts / UK / Retail Spending / KPMG / British Retail Consortium
After two straight months of flat sales, retail spending in the UK took a slight increase, according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC).
Spending rose by 1.4% compared to the same month last year, and like-for-like sales rose by 0.5%. The increase, which the BRC admitted was "not spectacular", is in line with the 12-month average of 1.5%.
Despite the increase, the Retail Sales Monitor produced by the BRC and KPMG showed that spending is still relatively low, as UK consumers are hesitant to spend in an uncertain economy.
Helen Dickinson OBE, Chief Executive of the British Retail Consortium, said: "With signs that the UK's economy is slowing, it's unlikely that this is the beginning of a complete reversal of fortunes. The uncertain outlook means that customers will remain cautious with their spending, therefore we expect sales figures to Like-for-Like remain volatile for the time being.
"While this month's pick-up in sales will come as a welcome relief, it's still a challenging time for retailers. Shop price deflation continues and intensity of competition is fierce. Controlling costs and improving efficiency and productivity will be crucial for retailers as they continue to navigate increasingly tough trading conditions."
"Overall, retail sales showed some improvement in the month, up 1.4% in total versus May last year. Despite rain dampening the May Day mood, fashion sales finally lifted following a tough three months of trading for retailers," said David McCorquodale, Head of Retail in KPMG.
"The appearance of some spring sunshine encouraged consumers to hit the sales and take advantage of early summer promotions."
As well as uncertainty in the British economy due, in no small part, to the looming EU referendum, deflation also continues to affect the retail sector in the UK.

Texans' Johnathan Joseph a 'remote' possibility for Sunday
Sports // Texans
Aaron Wilson
Dec. 9, 2016 Updated: Dec. 9, 2016 5:41 p.m.
If Texans veteran cornerback Johnathan Joseph is somehow able to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts with cracked ribs and a bruised lung, it will undoubtedly be a painful experience.
Joseph is listed as questionable on the injury report and was characterized as a remote possibility for Sunday by coach Bill O'Brien.
Joseph didn't practice all week.
"It's tough," Joseph said Friday. "It's one of those things, kind of a pain toleration thing, how much you can take, how much you can protect it and all those things. Just go from there. Not much you can do about it."
The two-time Pro Bowl selection has played every game with 11 starts this season and has recorded 43 tackles, one forced fumble and nine passes defended.
Joseph sounds determined to test it out during warmups to see if he can participate in an AFC South divisional showdown at Lucas Oil Stadium.
"Just got to go out there and try to give it a shot," Joseph said. "Obviously, I guess you do your pregame thing, work out before the game and just see where you stand. There's not really a timetable on it. It just comes down to how much pain and how much can you do with it."

The Texans officially ruled out wide receiver Jaelen Strong, who returned to practice from a sprained ankle this week, along with starting outside linebacker John Simon (chest), backup quarterback Tom Savage (infected right elbow), wide receiver Braxton Miller (bruised, sprained shoulder) and kick returner Tyler Ervin (ribs).
Meanwhile, Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (elbow, wrist) and middle linebacker Brian Cushing (back) are expected to play Sunday.
Reach Aaron on
Aaron Wilson is a Texans beat writer for the Houston Chronicle, joining the paper in August 2015. He was a Baltimore Ravens beat writer from 2001 to 2015, working for The Baltimore Sun, including coverage of Super Bowl XLVII, the Ray Rice domestic violence case and the careers of Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Jonathan Ogden, and previously covered the team for the Carroll County Times and the Annapolis Capital.
This marks the second time the Washington, D.C. native has covered the AFC South, previously covering the Tennessee Titans and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

UFO, Houston Texas Recorded July 7, 2016 at about 9:01 pm central time. A flying red ball was shooting horizontally across the sky then it got behind the house in the video and stopped and then it started to rise at a slow constant speed, that's when I got my phone and started recording. After it descended back behind the house again it started moving horizontally across the sky. I caught this in my second video I have posted. The color was a constant red and never flashed or changed color. At first I thought it was just a roman candle but when it stopped I new it was not fire works. I then though maybe it was a drone but I really don't think that was possible. Now I think maybe it was a flair of some kind. I just don't know. Please watch the second video.

Pigeons, winged warriors that helped Israel to victory 70 years ago
GIVAT BRENNER, Israel (Reuters) – The cooing of pigeons fills the air once again in a secluded dovecot that was once part of a top-secret communications project during Israel's war with its Arab neighbours 70 years ago.
It housed carrier pigeons, which delivered critical messages from the battlefield to Israeli military headquarters during the 1948 war after the new state declared independence and was attacked by the armies of countries including Syria, Egypt and Jordan.
As Israel prepares for its Independence Day celebrations, starting at sundown on Wednesday, the recently restored dovecot in Kibbutz Givat Brenner is today an educational centre devoted to the winged warriors.
"This is the only thing that was left, and we thought that this is a great place to tell the story," said Tal Ben Nun of The Society for Preservation of Israel's Heritage Sites.
It has used 600,000 shekels (about $170,000) given by the defence ministry and Prime Minister's office to restore the site. Kibbutz Givat Brenner was founded by Jewish immigrants from Europe in 1928. It lies between Ashdod and Tel Aviv, just north of where Egyptian forces reached after invading from the Sinai in 1948.
Lacking communication devices during the war, the Israeli forces relied on a clandestine network of 68 dovecots spread across the country, and ran 'pigeoneer' courses for soldiers, Ben Nun said.
Counting on the pigeons' ability to return to their home dovecot, as armies have long done, the Israeli soldiers flew them from the heart of the battle – this time carrying messages written mostly in Morse code.
"It was the only way to communicate, to receive news of what's going on with the troops – whether they succeeded or not, whether they were attacked, if they have wounded or dead, is there a need to send a vehicle to evacuate the wounded? It was all done through the pigeons," said veteran military pigeoneer Shaul Sapir, 90, who still gets emotional when he reminisces about his birds.
"They were nurtured, so much that… a truck would be brought carrying food for the pigeons, when we remained very hungry."
After being deserted for decades, the restored dovecot in Givat Brenner now houses 60 carrier pigeons, some of which are descendants of those who were there during the war. They are trained daily by volunteers.
"I think it is a duty, a duty, to all the youths and especially those who will be enlisted to the Israeli army's communication or intelligence units, to come and see how we started from nothing, with a pigeon, and what is reached today, with satellites."
In the coming days and weeks Palestinians will also hold events marking what they call the "Nakba" or "Catastrophe", when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were driven from their homes during the violence that surrounded Israel's creation.

5 Great On-Screen Con Artists
By : Rory Fish
Tag: Con Artist
David O'Russell's crime caper starring Christian Bale's experienced conman and Bradley Cooper's FBI agent arrives on UK shores after Christmas. Top 10 Films takes a look at some great con artists…
Grifters, hustlers, and con-artists are making their way out from the shadows and into the spotlight as the Oscar-baiting American Hustle hits theatres in London today (and the rest of the UK 1st January). David O Russell's crime caper follows Christian Bale's elite conman forced to co-operate with Bradley Cooper's FBI agent and put his very particular set of illicit skills to good use. It is just the latest in a long (police) line-up of fantastic films and television series to feature underhand tricks of the criminal trade.
Crime, we are consistently reminded, does not pay. But it certainly pays to play the hustler. Christian Bale can look forward to a flurry of nominations in the coming months, while Jennifer Lawrence as his firebrand wife is widely tipped to carry of a second Oscar in her loot bag. They wouldn't be the first to have made a success out of a more morally-ambiguous role. Paul Newman built his reputation as The Hustler, a small-time pool hall shark who challenges a legend of the game. His infamous blue-eyes were the icy finishing touch in a poker face that snookered countless on-screen rivals, and he went one step further partnering with Robert Redford in long con classic The Sting.
Whether scamming on the mean streets like Wesley Snipes in White Men Can't Jump or Statham's gang in Lock Stock; or if there are loftier targets in mind such as the victims of the Clooney-led Ocean's 11, or the blink and you'll miss 'em magicians of Now You See Me; con-artists always give off an unmistakable air of cool that not even Bradley Cooper's ridiculous perm can shake off.
Watch the American Hustle trailer below:
So, without further ado – here are our 5 favourite On-Screen Con Artists…
Frank Abagnale – Catch Me If You Can (Speilberg, 2002)
Ably played by Leonardo DiCaprio, teen wunderkind Frank Abagnale achieved more before his 21st birthday than most manage in an entire life-time (though his achievements do include being sentenced to a long stint in prison). From his early days fooling classmates into believing he was a particularly youthful French substitute teacher, to his elaborate lies impersonating Pan Am pilots and making off with millions of dollars in loot, Frank is the master opportunist. And, incredibly, the whole thing is rooted in a true story.
Mickey Stone – Hustle (Jordan, 2004)
Nicknamed Mickey Bricks by his partners in crime, Hustle's lead stole the show (and his victim's money) by leading his motley gang through a host of long cons. Introducing a Hollywood slickness to British television screens, and tipping viewers off to the types of scams they might fall victim to, Hustle provided an ultra-entertaining public service. Never coning an honest man, Mickey's staunch moral code, even as he bent the rules of her majesty's law, made him impossible not to root for, and spring boarded Adrian Lester towards Shakespearean roles. Catch the show on Sony TV from January 6th.
Lilly Dillon – The Grifters (Frears, 1990)
The Grifters is a dramatic tale of a family of con artists condemned by the dishonest lives they lead. More a dynamic character study than the typical actioner expected of the genre, it is Angelica Huston's endlessly fascinating performance as Lilly that lingers longest in the memory. As a veteran grafter caught between her severely-wounded criminal son, and a ruthless bookmaker, Huston dazzles, utilising every last trick in the book to stay on top of the situation. A devastating final scene steals our breath away.
Professor Marcus – The Ladykillers (Mackendrick, 1955)
How to pick just one? Ealing Studios classic The Ladykillers assembles a crack team of liars, thieves, and con-men – each well practised in the art of deceit. But Alec Guinness' Professor Marcus rules the roost as their leader, engineering an ingenious scheme involving a string quintet, a security van robbery, and a clueless landlady, Mrs. Wilberforce. Brilliantly funny, well-executed, and showcasing some of Britain's finest acting talent, The Ladykillers has endured, and remains one of Sir Alec's most treasured roles.
Raymond – Rain Man (Levinson, 1988)
Tom Cruise might get the sunglasses and the sharp lines, but Dustin Hoffman dazzles as his card-counting accomplice. As the pawn in greedy brother Charlie's attempts to get rich quick, Raymond's perfect recall is manipulated and put to use on casino tables up and down the country. An award-winning and sensitive portrayal of autism, Rain Man also succeeds as an invigorating thriller – with each assault on the Blackjack tables of Las Vegas as perfectly crafted as a Michael Mann heist. Essential viewing: it earns its spot at grafting's top table.
Watch Hustle on Sony Entertainment Television (Sky 157/Virgin 193/BT 454) weeknights from January 6th at 7pm.

Love Catch Me if You Can is still one of my favorite Leo roles and one of my top Spielberg films. Haven't seen American Hustle just yet, but I'm really looking to it. I enjoy David O. Russell's movies and I love the entire cast, so I have high hopes.

Computerized Pilot Aptitude Screening System (COMPASS) consists of six tests which have been developed to test some of the key aptitude areas for the pilot profession. Flying experience is not required to perform well in the tests.
Memory: Accuracy of short-term memory recall and ability to 'chunk' information.
Task Manager: A test of the candidate's ability to scan the screen and manage two concurrent tasks accurately and quickly.
We would like to stress that the COMPASS tests are not a substitute for a complete selection but represent a cost-effective way to indicate the presence (of lack) of basic pilot aptitude. The results will help decide about future career choices and could be a positive motivation for choosing a career as a professional pilot.

Алексей Васильевич Ермаков (1798, Челябинск, Оренбургская губерния — , Муром, Владимирская губерния, Российская империя) — российский государственный и общественный деятель, городской голова города Мурома (1862—1869), меценат.

Биография
Родился в 1798 году в городе Челябинске в купеческо-мещанской семье. Его отец числился купцом второй гильдии. Женился в 19 лет в Кыштыме, на востоке Урала, на дочери приказчика Марии Евфимовне Наседкиной.

Первоначально работал мелким чиновником на государственной службе, а позднее в частных компаниях И. Ф. Базилевского и В. А. Кокорева.

В 1847 году, будучи купцом третьей гильдии, переехал в Муром. С 1851 года начал заниматься активной общественной деятельностью. В 1855 году записался в купцы первой гильдии, был попечителем городской больницы и активно содействовал открытию в городе женского училища.

С 1863 и до своей кончины был в должности городского головы города Мурома, осуществив план строительства городского водопровода, построенного инженером Е. И. Ержемским и оснащённого оборудованием, приобретённым в Германии. 26 августа 1864 года состоялось торжественное открытие построенной им водонапорной башни из которой вода поступала в шестнадцать водоразборных будок и фонтанов по всему городу.

На территории Свято-Троицкого женского монастыря им устроена каменная часовня и вызолочены пять куполов на Троицком соборе.

22 января 1865 года за заслуги перед обществом был удостоен ордена Святого Владимира 4-й степени с девизом «Польза, честь и слава».

В 1867 году на средства Ермакова было построено здание театра, а в 1868 году — детский приют, телеграф и солдатские казармы.

Скончался в ночь на 9 августа 1869 года не оставив наследников. Похоронен в Муроме на Напольном кладбище.

Память
 Ещё при жизни Ермакова среди горожан ходила поговорка — «Никто не таков, как Алексей Васильевич Ермаков».
 Портрет Ермакова кисти художника Апполинария Горавского находится в Муромском историко-художественном музее.
 Памятная табличка о градоначальнике установлена на здании водонапорной башни.
 В 1993 году главой администрации Мурома Петром Кауровым была учреждена стипендия имени Алексея Ермакова.
 В День народного единства 2012 года рядом с водонапорной башней был открыт сквер и установлен бронзовый бюст Ермакову.

De alpineskiër
In 1983 werd Luc Alphand wereldkampioen bij de junioren op de afdaling, in Sestriere.
In 1984 maakte hij zijn debuut in een wereldbekerwedstrijd; maar het zou nog tot 1995 duren vóór hij zijn eerste overwinning in de wereldbeker kon vieren, op de beroemde "Streif" in Kitzbühel.

Luc Alphand was een specialist van de snelheidsproeven afdaling en Super-G. Tussen 1995 en 1997 behaalde hij 12 overwinningen in de wereldbeker: 10 op de afdaling en 2 op de super-G. In het seizoen 1996-1997 won hij bovendien de algemene wereldbeker alpineskiën.

 22/2/1997: Garmisch Partenkirchen (afdaling)

 Olympische Winterspelen:
Op Olympische Winterspelen kon Alphand geen medailles bemachtigen. Zijn beste beste resultaat was de vierde plaats in de combiné op de spelen van Calgary in 1988.
 1988, Calgary: 4e op de combinatie, 7e op de super-G
 1992, Val d'Isère: 12e op de afdaling, 16e op de super-G
 1994, Lillehammer/Kvittfjell: 8e op de afdaling en 8e op de super-G

De autoracer
In 1997, na zijn meest succesvolle seizoen als skiër, zette Alphand abrupt een punt achter zijn skicarrière en ging hij nieuwe uitdagingen zoeken in het autoracen.
Hij heeft onder andere verschillende malen deelgenomen aan de Dakar Rally. In 2005 eindigde hij daarin tweede, achter zijn teamgenoot Stéphane Peterhansel, en in 2006 won hij deze rally in een Mitsubishi.

In 2006 nam hij met een eigen team, "Luc Alphand Aventures", deel aan de "Le Mans Series" met een Corvette C5-R. Naast Alphand reden hierin de piloten Jérôme Policand en Patrice Goueslard. Ze namen onder meer deel aan de 24 uur van Le Mans, waarin ze derde werden in hun klasse (GT1).

Week 9 non-Eagles Sunday rooting guide
In past seasons, Philadelphia Eagles fans generally rooted for their own team, and kept an eye on the rest of the NFC East. In 2018, with the Birds initially being among the favorites to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, it was perhaps worth keeping tabs on the conference, as opposed to just the division.
And so, each week we laid out a rooting guide for non-Eagles games on the NFL schedule. However, sitting at 4-4 and looking up at the 5-2 Washington Redskins, Eagles fans' outside rooting interests should be shifted from earning a first round bye, to just having a seat at the table, at all, in the playoffs, whether that be by winning the NFC East or a wildcard.
MORE NFL COVERAGE
Five over/unders (including wins) for the second half of the 2018 Eagles season
Week 9 NFL picks
Eagles likely to play 'the compensatory pick game' (again) next offseason
Ideal winner in bold:
• Falcons at Redskins: Obviously, all Eagles fans should be huge Falcons fans this weekend, as the Eagles sit a game and a half behind Washington. So, you know, "Goooooo Biiiiiiirds!"
• Bears at Bills: The Bears are wildcard contenders, so any loss to an AFC team is ideal, though the Bills may be the worst team in the NFL.
• Lions at Vikings: Vikings losses are better than Lions losses. On a side note, despite a head-to-head loss, the Eagles don't have to worry about any tie-breaker scenarios with the Vikings because Minny has a tie this year.
• Buccaneers at Panthers: The Eagles lost to both of these teams, but the Bucs are clearly the preferable winner here.
• Steelers at Ravens: The Eagles own the Ravens' second-round pick, so a Steelers win is ideal. To note, if the season ended Sunday morning, the Eagles and Ravens would both miss the playoffs, and the Eagles would have back-to-back picks in the second round.
• Texans at Broncos: It's looking like the AFC South is going to be so bad that the Texans can run away with that division while also being nowhere close to other division winners like the Pats or Chiefs. So maybe the Texans won't have much to play for Week 16 against the Eagles if they gain a sizable enough lead over the Jags, Colts, and Titans?
• Chargers at Seahawks: The Chargers are obviously the preferable team to win here, but a side thing to root for in this game is for Caleb Sturgis to make his kicks. If the Chargers cut Sturgis prior to Week 10, the Eagles would lose out on a compensatory pick for him in the 2019 NFL Draft. To note, the Chargers would not gain a comp pick of their own if they did, so their only incentive to cut Power Sturge would legitimately be if they thought another kicker could do a better job.
• Rams at Saints: I don't think you root for either team here. You just see what happens, and recalculate the outlook of the NFC from there. But obviously, this is a huge game, and the Eagles are going to have to go through one (or both) of these teams if they make the playoffs and are going to make it back to the Super Bowl.
• Packers at Patriots: Yeah, it sucks to have to root for cheaters, but that's where we are here.
• Titans at Cowboys: The shots of Jerry Jones in the box in a prime-time home game after foolishly trading a 1 for Amari Cooper would be fun, if the crappy Titans can find a way to win.
Irrelevant to the Eagles:
Chiefs at Browns
Jets at Dolphins

I am new to multisite and I was wondering if any members have experience building a global menu for a multisite setup. The requirement is to have xyz replications of one basic site. Each site inside the mutlisites that I would create I would want to use a menu that would show up on all child sites. I'd like to be able to manage this menu in one location and have it replicated throughout all of the multisites. I'm also using Genesis Framework if that helps.
You could just add the menu through a plugin and network activate it. What kind of menu are your trying to make? A dashboard side menu? Admin bar menu? Front-end network menu at the top of the screen that links the sites together? If it's a simple menu, you could likely do it through some custom code snippets rather installing a bulky plugin.
It all depends on what you want to do though. For example, the WPMU DEV Ultimate Branding plugin allows you to add new items to the admin bar. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the fast response! I looked at the Ultimate Branding Plugin, but I don't think it can accomplish what I'm trying to do.
To be specific, I'd like to add a front-end based menu that would allow users to access all of the other active multisite pages. I'd also like it to know what page its on and display something like "you are on site 7" if the user is browsing site 7.
My goal was to maybe wrap it in a plugin, and then set a default theme and create all of the multisites. Does that sound like I'm on the right track? Are there any tutorials that may point me in the right direction?
You're on the right track. You can do it with a pre-built plugin or custom function as a MU plugin. Either way, after you set it up, you can duplicate all plugins, settings, etc. with WPMU's New Blog Template plugin. If you don't need replication to that extent, you could just network activate the plugin and ensure the default values suit your needs.
http://spyr.me/plugins/ <--- they have (or at least used to have) a site switcher plugin that sat at the top of the screen.
http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2011/11/17/wordpress-multisite-practical-functions-methods/ <--- See "Build a Network Navigation Menu" a little ways down the page.
Thanks Gabe! The Smashing topic worked perfect. I read that about two weeks ago and completely forgot that it had that network menu in the article.
Glad to hear it, take it easy.
It appears that Gabe got you handled on this one - thank you Gabe!
And thank you both for being WPMU Dev Community Members!


The British pound is still in the downward channel. Selling pressure is holding the spot around its lower end. Bears gathered enough steam to extend their gains on Thursday. The sterling pushed away from 1.3200 and headed towards 1.3100. The technical indicators are giving us sell signals. MACD is declining in the negative area. RSI is still oversold. The 50, 100 and 200 EMAs continued their negative slide. The resistance resides at 1.3200, the support comes in at 1.3100.
We assume that GBP will remain well offered today. We are waiting for another move lower towards the level 1.3100.
Gold remained in red figures on Thursday. The metal kept losing ground yesterday and was able to regain the 1275 level. The bearish momentum persisted after that and gold dropped to the 1270 handle. After a brief pause sellers continued the negative bias and pushed the spot towards 1265. They tested the mark in the morning hours and bounced off it at once. The moving averages kept moving downwards. MACD is in the negative territory. RSI reached the oversold area and is staying in it. The resistance resides at 1270, the support comes in at 1260.
The expected dollar strength will likely to keep gold under pressure. Sellers might continue to dominate and probe the 1255 area today or tomorrow.
The recovery move stalled at the 75.50 area yesterday. Sellers regained control after that and sent the rate towards 73.50. Brent undertone remained negative on Thursday. Bears retook the level 73.50 in the night and pushed the benchmark towards 73.00. Brent found fresh bids around this mark and bounced back after touching it. The technical indicators are on the sellers' side. MACD is in the negative area. RSI is neutral, however, it is moving downwards towards the oversold area. The moving averages are still moving south. The resistance stands at 73.50, the support is at 72.50.
Sellers are heading towards 72.00 and we believe they will reach this mark in the US session.
Sentiment remained negative on Thursday. The spot opened on a weaker note and continued its slide. Sellers regained the 0.6850 level and pushed the price towards 0.6800. However, the downward pressure partly eased when NZD touched the 0.6825 mark. The spot bounced off this area and recovered back to 0.6850. The 50, 100 and 200 EMAs accelerated their declines. All moving averages keep heading lower. MACD is in the negative area. RSI is oversold. The resistance stands at 0.6900, the support is at 0.6850.
The bearish break has the potential to continue dragging the pair further below the 0.6850 mark towards testing the 0.6800 region.
NASDAQ remained in an upward channel on Thursday. The buying momentum eased when the benchmark touched the level 7290. This barrier appeared to be well defended by sellers who rejected the price downwards. The moving averages are all pointing higher. MACD is growing in a positive area. RSI bounced off the overbought territory and is neutral now. The resistance stands at 7290, the support is at 7230.
The overall picture is increasingly bullish. The price is retreating, however, it is a corrective move which won't last long. The EMA50, which lies in the 7230-7220 area, will most likely stop sellers and will send the rate back towards 7290.

Seasonal climate outlook - January - March 2019
The atmospheric circulation around New Zealand is forecast to be characterised by pressures slightly higher than normal over and to the north of the country. For New Zealand, this pressure pattern will be accompanied by weak south-westerly quarter flow anomalies.
January through March 2019 mean air temperatures are most likely to be above average for the north of the North Island and about equally likely to be near or above average for the remaining regions of New Zealand.
During the January to March 2019 period, near normal rainfall is likely for most regions; however, the north of the North Island has about equal chances for below normal or near normal rainfall and the west of the South Island has about equal chances for above normal or near normal rainfall.
While oceanic patterns in the tropical Pacific currently reflect weak El Niño conditions, the atmosphere still hasn't coupled with the ocean.
If this coupling does not eventuate, ocean anomalies in the Equatorial Pacific will have little relevance to New Zealand's climate.
Sea surface temperatures are currently much warmer than average around New Zealand and warmer conditions are forecast to persist. This is likely to be a dominant driver of New Zealand's climate.
For the current tropical cyclone season (November 2018 to April 2019), NIWA's Southwest Pacific Tropical Cyclone Outlook indicates that the risk for New Zealand is near normal. On average, at least one ex-tropical cyclone passes within 550 km of New Zealand each year. Significant rainfall, damaging winds, and coastal damage can occur during these events.
January – March 2019 temperatures are forecast to be above average (50% chance) for the north of the North Island and above average or average (40 – 45 % chance) for all other regions of New Zealand.
January – March 2019 rainfall totals are forecast to be near normal (40% chance) or below normal (35% chance) for the north of the North Island and near normal (40% chance) or above normal (35% chance) for the west of the South Island. Near normal rainfall is most likely (45% chance) for all remaining regions of New Zealand.
January – March 2019 soil moisture levels and river flows are forecast to be in the near normal range (45 – 50% chance) in the South Island and for the west and east of the North Island. In the north of the North Island, near normal soil moisture levels are forecast (45% chance) and near normal or below normal flows are about equally likely (40 – 45% chance).
Temperatures are most likely to be above average (50% chance).
Rainfall totals are about equally likely to be near normal (40% chance) or below normal (35% chance).
Soil moisture levels are most likely to be near normal (45% chance).
River flows are about equally likely to be near normal (45% chance) or below normal (40% chance).
Temperatures are about equally likely to be above average (45% chance) or near average (40% chance).
Rainfall totals, soil moisture levels and river flows are mostly likely to be in the near normal range (45 – 50% chance).
Rainfall totals, soil moisture levels and river flows are all mostly likely to be in the near normal range (45 – 50% chance).
Temperatures are about equally likely to be near average (45% chance) or above average (40% chance).
Soil moisture levels and river flows are most likely to be in the near normal range (45 – 50% chance).
Over the past month, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the central Pacific (NINO3.4 Index, 5oN-5oS, 170oW-120oW) have remained above normal with anomalies currently exceeding +0.8oC. This marks the fourth consecutive month SST anomalies in the central Pacific have exceeded 0.7oC, which meets NIWA'S technical oceanic definition for El Niño. However, the coupling between the ocean and the atmosphere, necessary for the development of the ENSO (El Niño – Southern Oscillation) phenomenon, has not eventuated. SSTs are also unusually warm in the western Pacific (west of the International Dateline), with the NINO4 index (5oN-5oS, 160oE-150oW) anomaly being greater than the NINO3.4 index with a value of +0.9oC. Consequently, the west-to-east SST anomaly gradient is weaker than what is usually recorded during an El Niño event, and is likely contributing to the atmosphere's inability to couple with the ocean.
Warmer than average subsurface ocean waters persisted in the month of December 2018, and the latest available (ending 16 December 2018) 5-day averages from the tropical Pacific mooring array indicate anomalies exceeding +4oC between 150oW and 130oW. However, the integrated heat content anomalies (over the top 300m of the ocean) in the equatorial Pacific are weaker than they were at the beginning of November 2018, with anomalies exceeding 1.5oC now restricted to the eastern Pacific between 130oW and 115oW.
While the oceanic anomalies are mostly consistent with patterns observed during weak to moderate El Niño events, the atmosphere has not yet responded and almost all indicators are well under the conventional El Niño thresholds. The latest Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) is currently (December 2018) positive with a value of +0.8 (i.e., close to La Niña conventional thresholds). The trade winds have been slightly weaker than normal (westerly anomalies) but not persistently so, and the convection and rainfall anomaly patterns are inconsistent with a traditional El Niño, with enhanced convective activity and rainfall in the western Pacific.
The consensus from international models is for weak to moderate oceanic El Niño conditions to persist over next three-month period (96% chance over January – March 2019), but it is unclear whether the atmosphere will eventually catch up with the ocean and lead to a fully coupled El Niño – Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. If this coupling does not eventuate, then SST anomalies in the equatorial Pacific will have little relevance to the regional climate anomalies over and around New Zealand.
New Zealand's coastal waters are currently much warmer than average for the time of year, with coastal SST anomalies exceeding +1oC for all regions of New Zealand. Argo temperature profiles indicate that above normal subsurface temperatures around New Zealand have intensified during December 2018. Much warmer than normal ocean temperatures are also affecting large areas of the Tasman Sea. The dynamical models are consistent in predicting above to well above normal regional ocean temperatures during January – March 2019. In the absence of a coupled ENSO event, these regional SSTs are likely to be a dominant driver of New Zealand's climate over the next three months period.

Mopalia ciliata is a chiton in the genus Mopalia, commonly known as the hairy chiton. It is a medium-sized marine mollusc up to  in length. It is oval shaped with 8 separate, moderately elevated, overlapping ridged valves on its dorsal surface. Hairy chitons can be found along the coast of North America.

Distribution and habitat
The distribution of Mopalia ciliata is somewhat controversial, however it is agreed that it resides on the southern coast of North America as far south as Baja California. The presence of this species north of California is currently debated whether it be a similar species M. kennerleyi. M. ciliata are found on the underside of rocks near cracks or crevices or other hard stubstrata in intertidal zones.

Color
M. ciliata'''s valve colors mainly vary between pale green, white or dark brown. They can have colorful markings sometimes of olive, white, orange, red and blue.  The girdle color can be dark green, pinkish or white.

Diet
This species is an omnivore. They feed on algae, bryozoans, hydroids and other low-growing organisms.

Biology

A chiton has a dorsal side composed of eight valves embedded in the mantle tissue.  Surrounding the valves is their thick mantle called the girdle.  The valves are strong enough for protection, but shaped so that their bodies are flexible for moving on uneven rocks and turning into crevices. Mopalia species' girdles are covered with large setae that distinguish them from other genera.

On their ventral surface they have a partial head, mouth, mantle, mantle cavity, foot, gills, gonopore, nephridiopore and anus.  The ventral surface is bordered with the mantle and moving towards the center of the chiton is the mantle cavity.  There they have a head on the anterior end and the foot below it extending to the posterior end of the chiton.  The mantle cavity is divided into two chambers by ctenidia that circulate water and waste through the chiton. The gill cilia draw in water through the incurrent chamber and run posteriorly in the excurrent stream where they are discharged.

The foot runs the length of the entire ventral surface yet does not extend past the girdle. Its way of motion is by moving its foot in small waves of muscular activity. It is termed as pedal waves. It also uses its foot for holding on to the substrate. They do this by lifting up the central portion of the foot, while retaining a tight seal on the outer portion of the foot. This creates a tight suction against the substrate and allows them to live in heavy wave zones.

Their head is seen only as a partial head because they have no brain or eyes, but they are still responsive to possible predators and waves by creating suction or curling up in a ball.

The radula, made of 17 teeth, has one pair of cusps in each row hardened with magnetite, which makes chiton the only mollusc with these specialized magnetite teeth.  They also have a subradular organ that is used for taste.

Characteristics
Valves
The valves are not always similar. They can vary from broad, to narrow plates as well as smooth or coarse plates. The plates are all notched posteriorly and have radial rows of pustules.
Girdle
The girdle is half to three-quarters the width of the valves.  The girdle is studded with spines of spiculed setae.
Setae
The setae are very distinct if viewed under a scanning electron microscope.  They have flat and broad setae, which bare found rows of large, curved white calcareous spicules. These are up to  in length.
Radula
The radula are not very distinguishable. In size they are proportionally 20% smaller than M. kennerleyi, a similar species.
CanalM. ciliata shares aesthete canal characteristics with M. spectabilis and M. swanii''. They have a wider range of the slit ray canals that turn downwards towards the slit rays opposed to the short distance other Mopalia species have their slit ray canals extended. Another similarity between these three species is their horizontal canals that flank the jugal area fan out laterally opposed to straight.

"How can it be? You decipher negative symbols and as a result you open an opportunity for many people to use them".
Yes, the symbol becomes open for adaptation. But it is absolutely safe.
We want to remind you that the symbol possesses superopportunities and renders superinfluence on people around, some certain characteristic features are inherent in it and it exists in a definite plot.
Having chosen a symbol for themselves people carry out their right to a choice!
And if someone in an image-trainer chooses a negative symbol, he (she) will make it more consciously, having received from us the characteristic of a symbol and its plot. After all having chosen a symbol - the person gets into a certain plot and is responsible for it. There are some certain rules of the game, requisite and environment in it. Both the plot, and its end are already known initially, it is impossible to change them. Having realized it, it is possible to change the requisite and environment, but here-... automatically the plot changes!
- the choice on the example of LUCIFER.
Lucifer took an exclusively honourable position in heavens. God spoke about him:" You are the perfection press, completeness of wisdom and a wreath of beauty. You were in Eden, in the God`s garden; your clothes were decorated with all sorts of jewels. Ruby, topaz and diamond, chrysolite, onyx, sapphire, carbuncle, emerald and gold, everything skillfully seated in to your nests and strung on you, was prepared in the day of your creation. You were an anointed cherub to overshadow, and I put you on that; you were on the God's sacred mountain, walked among flame-colored stones. You were perfect in your ways from the date of your creation, until lawlessness didn`t come in to your soul! " (Iyezeklil 28; 12-15).
Our descriptions of symbols and their plots are like a stone on a road fork in Russian fairy tales.
Everything is written in them:" If you go to the right - you will lose your horse, if you go on the left - you will lose your fame, if you go straight you will lose yourself and your horse". Every person makes his choice, which road to choose! But he already knows clearly what he chooses and how it can be finished.
We are for that there were less, and in an ideal - there were no absolutely thoughtless elections crippling life!
"Creating a fresco "The Last Supper" Leonardo da Vinci was looking for ideal models for a long time. Jesus had to embody Good, and Judas, having decided to betray him during the meal, - Evil.
"I have already seen this picture earlier! "
- "When? " - Leonardo was surprised.
"Three years ago, it was before I lost everything. At that time when I sang in a choir, and my life was full of the dreams, some artist drew Christ from me... "
-"... and I could remain in the choir and carry the image of Christ to people!"
Working with symbols image-trainer gives an opportunity to use the unique right of a person – the right to choose!
The right to choose with what to identify yourself and what to be!
(The unique right of every person - to identify yourself with Angel or Lucifer.) After all you get the energy of the man with whom you identify yourself.
