Q: Hide simple product when in configurable I'm having an issue with the way products are handled in Magento. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
If I have a configurable product called "OMEGA" and the simple products in OMEGA are a,b,c I don't want a,b,c to be displayed on the SEARCH or CATALOG. But if I set to NOT VISIBLE individually and the simple product is out stock, when I try to submit OMEGA with the simple out of stock product I get a "PAGE NOT FOUND" because it's trying to redirect to the simple product that is not visible.
My question is this. How would I not show any simple product if it is attached to a configurable product and have it not display an error message saying page not found if being selected from the configurable product.

Architect of Light #Poul Henningsen
Son of a well-known Danish writer Agnes Henningsen, he grew up surrounded by writers and intellectuals. He studied architecture and worked as an architect but did not graduated. He was known in Denmark as a journalist, critic and writer, but he rose to fame because of his lamps.
In 1924 he began to develop the series of lamps that bears his initials, PH, consisting of table and ceiling lights with several overlapping concave shades, apparently inspired by a stack of cup, bowl and plate. The series was developed over thirty years with the common objective of avoiding glare and obtaining a soft and warm light but sufficient to illuminate a room. Typically Scandinavian, Henningsen understood his work as a combination of art and technique, so that his pieces are patented both as "industrial property" and "artistic property".
Poul Henningsen's lamps, produced by Louis Poulsen, won the gold medal at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris in 1925 and are part of the interior design of some masterpieces of modern architecture, such as the Tugendhat House by Mies van der Rohe.
Some of the best known and spectacular pieces of the PH series were originally designed for a specific architecture or interior design project. The PH Spiral model was created in 1942 for the main building of the University of Aarhus, by the architect Christian Frederick Møller, while the PH Louvre lamp was designed in 1957 for the Skodsborg Adventist church, by the architect Charles Gjerrild. The PH Artichoke ceiling light, perhaps its most spectacular piece formed by 72 metallic sheets as petals, was created in 1958 as part of the interior design for the Langelinie restaurant pavilion in the port of Copenhagen.

Q: I received (admission / acceptance / admittance) from Are the following sentences different semantically:

*

*I received admission from UCLA.

*I received acceptance from UCLA.

*I received admittance from UCLA.

I guess the third one is used very rarely and perhaps never and the first tow sentences can be used interchangeably; do you confirm my take?

A: Both the first and third statement say roughly the same thing (though your choice of words will sound odd to a native speaker). The second, however, makes it sound like UCLA showed you approval or a favorable reception, not permission to study there.
If you change the from's to to's, however, the three sentences would be interchangeable.

*

*I received admission to UCLA.

*I received acceptance to UCLA.

*I received admittance to UCLA.

Askrova Chapel () is a chapel (and community centre) of the Church of Norway in Kinn Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the small village of Espeset on the west side of the island of Askrova. It is an annex chapel in the Bru parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden chapel was built in 1957 in a long church design. The chapel seats about 120 people. The parish holds about six worship services per year at the chapel, in addition to special services such as baptisms, weddings, and funerals.

History
Fundraising for a prayer house on the island of Askrova began in the 1920s, and some money was raised, but it was slow. In 1953, after World War II, this effort gained traction and began to yield results. A prayer house chapel was built in 1957 with Kristoffer Stensbakk as the builder. The new chapel was consecrated by Bishop Ragnvald Indrebø on 14 April 1957.  In 1962, an extension on the north side of the nave was built which housed a larger entry area and coat room. In 1964, a small tower on the roof was built. In 1988, the building was renovated and enlarged again. This time the interior was redone. The ceiling of the nave was vaulted (originally it had a flat ceiling).

A business and not using a plan is sort of a ship with no compass. A enterprise plan lays out a written plan from a advertising , financial and operational viewpoint. A enterprise plan is all conceptual till you begin filling in the numbers and terms. You probably have every day retail sales goals, then a retailer supervisor has to have access to information that exhibits him or her in actual time what is going on on within the retailer.
A business plan is more than simply something to show lenders and investors; it's also vital that will help you plan for the growth and progress of what you are promoting. One of many biggest errors entrepreneurs make in their business plans is stating that they have no competitors.
The advertising and marketing component of your plan ought to cowl every thing from the development of your brand, pricing, promoting, different marketing strategies and customer support. Create detailed what-if situation backup plans, documenting how you'll react to potential issues.
In case you are working an existing enterprise, it is best to have historic paperwork, similar to revenue and loss statements and stability sheets from years previous to base these forecasts on. If you're beginning a new business and do not have these historical financial statements, you begin by projecting a money-circulation statement damaged down into 12 months.
2.2 Company History (for ongoing corporations) or Begin-up Plan (for brand new firms). The appendix contains additional documents that the reader of the business plan might need to check with. You need to detail the companies objectives and the product and companies it provide.


Today i have a very beautiful polish to show you along with the challenge manicure. Opi In The Cable Car-Pool Lane is a part of Opi San Fransisco Collection. It is a deep burgundy polish with almost jelly finish, more accurately its a crelly formula.
Initially i wasn't sure how it will look on me but I got it any way because i wanted to try this kinda shade. I used two coats for following pictures without top coat.
I dont know what's wrong with my ring finger nail, why it's looking so different.
Today's theme is "Same Pattern Different Colors" so I did a stamping manicure with same image stamped with different colors.
I love how this manicure turned out, love love the base and all the stamping polishes did very good job.I wasn't sure how well this polishes will stamp on a dark base like this but they look very nice here. Isn't it??
I hope you like this nail art. Please do comment what you think.

In ecological terms, biomass refers to any type of organic matter. When it comes to energy, biomass is any organic matter that can be used to generate energy, for example wood, forest residues or plant materials.
How is biomass used?
Biomass used and combusted for energy can come in a number of different forms, ranging from compressed wood pellets – which are used in power stations that have upgraded from coal – to biogas and biofuels, a liquid fuel that can be used to replace fossil fuels in transport.
The term biomass also refers to any type of organic material used for energy in domestic settings, for example wood burned in wood stoves and wood pellets used in domestic biomass boilers.
Biomass is organic matter like wood, forest residues or plant material, that is used to generate energy.
Biomass can be produced from different sources including agricultural or forestry residues, dedicated energy crops or waste products such as uneaten food.
Drax Power Station uses compressed wood pellets sourced from sustainably managed working forests in the US, Canada, Europe and Brazil, and are largely made up of low-grade wood produced as a byproduct of the production and processing of higher value wood products, like lumber and furniture.
Biomass producers and users must meet a range of stringent measures for their biomass to be certified as sustainable and responsibly sourced.
Is biomass renewable?
Biomass grown through sustainable means is classified as a renewable source of energy because of the process of its growth. As biomass comes from organic, living matter, it grows naturally, absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere in the process.
It means when biomass is combusted as a source of energy – for example for heat or electricity production – the CO2 released is offset by the amount of CO2 it absorbed from the atmosphere while it was growing.
In 2019 biomass accounted for 6% of Great Britain's electricity generation, more than 1/6 of the total generation of all renewable sources
There is about 550 gigatonnes of biomass carbon on Earth in total. Humans make up around 1/10,000th of that mass.
Modern biomass was first developed as an alternative for oil after its price spiked as a result of the 1973 Yom Kippur War
The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates bioenergy accounts for roughly 1/10th of the world's total energy supply
Biomass is a renewable, sustainable form of energy used around the world.
How long has biomass been used as a source of energy?
Biomass has been used as a source of energy for as long as humans have been creating fire. Early humans using wood, plants or animal dung to make fire were all creating biomass energy.
Today biomass in the form of wood and wood products remains a widely used energy source for many countries around the world – both for domestic consumption and at grid scale through power stations, where it's often used to replace fossil fuels with much higher lifecycle carbon emissions.
Drax Power Station has been using compressed wood pellets (a form of biomass) since 2003, when it began research and development work co-firing it with coal. It fully converted its first full generating unit to run only on compressed wood pellets in 2013, lowering the carbon footprint of the electricity it produced by more than 80% across the renewable fuel's lifecycle. Today the power station runs mostly on sustainable biomass.

How biomass wood pellet mills can help landowners grow healthy forests
International Paper's pulp and paper mill, located in the Morehouse parish of Louisiana, had been in operation since 1927 and was once the largest employer in the area. However, as a result of the global recession of 2008, the company was forced to lay off over 550 employees and shut the facility. Other mills in the area have also reduced production including Georgia Pacific which let go around 530 people at its Crossett, Arkansas plant 18 miles to the north of Morehouse in 2019.
For an area dominated by forests, such as Northern Louisiana and Southern Arkansas, this decline in traditional markets came as a serious blow. It's a region where a healthy market for wood products is vital for the local economy and, in turn, the health of the region's forests. Luckily other wood product manufacturers and industries have since began to fill the gap.
Engineers in front of wood pellet storage silos at Drax's Morehouse BioEnergy biomass manufacturing facility in northern Louisiana
Drax Biomass has opened a mill in Morehouse parish that uses some of the the low-grade wood previously used to supply the paper industry to produce compressed wood pellets, which are used to generate renewable electricity in the UK.
Commissioned in 2015, the plant employs 74 people and can produce as much as 525,000 metric tonnes of biomass pellets a year. This makes it an important facility for local employment and the wood market in the region. However, to ensure it is positively contributing to the area and its environment, the demand for wood must be sustainably managed.
Morehouse BioEnergy sources low-grade wood from a catchment area that covers a 60-mile radius and includes 18 counties in Arkansas and four in Louisiana.
As Drax Biomass doesn't own any of the forests it sources wood products from, it regularly examines the environmental impact of its pellet mills on the forests and markets in which it operates. The aim is to ensure the biomass used by Drax to generate 12% of Great Britain's renewable electricity is sustainably sourced and does not contribute to deforestation or other negative climate and environment impacts.
A new report by forestry research and consulting firm Forisk evaluates the impact of biomass pellet demand from Morehouse BioEnergy on the forests and wood markets within the mill's catchment area.
Map of pulpwood-using mills near Morehouse timber market
It found that biomass demand in the region does not contribute to deforestation, nor increase forest harvesting above a sustainable level. Overall, growth of the region's pine timberland, which supplies Morehouse BioEnergy, continues to exceed removals, pointing to expanding forest carbon and wood inventory.
Annual growth compared to harvesting removals
Growing forests and increasing timber stocks
The study focuses on timberland – working forests – in the plant's sourcing area, which the US Forestry Service categorises as productive land capable of providing timber on an industrial scale.
The timberland here is made up of 63% softwood trees, which includes pines, and 37% hardwoods such as oak. Pellet manufacturing as a whole (including other pellet producers in the area), accounts for only 6% of the demand for wood products in the region. Of that, Morehouse BioEnergy contributes to 4% of total pellet demand.
Total area of timberland
Lumber – such as sawtimber – makes up the bulk of demand for wood products, accounting for 46% of total demand, largely as a result of its high market value and landowners' aims to extract maximum revenue from their pine stands.
However, the less valuable wood – parts of trees that are misshapen, too short or thin to be used for lumber – can be sold at a lower price to biomass pellet mills. This wood might previously have been sold to paper and pulp mills exclusively, but with International Paper's departure, Morehouse BioEnergy now fills a part of that role.
Total volume of growing stock on timberland
Maintaining healthy markets for both high and low-value wood is key to enabling landowners to reforest areas once they have been harvested in the knowledge it will provide a valuable return in the future. Ultimately, however, the way forests are maintained depends on the individual landowners and how they want to use their land.
The advantages of corporate ownership
Morehouse BioEnergy's catchment area covers 28,000 square kilometres of timberland, within which 96% of the timber is privately owned. While some of that is owned by families with small patches of productive land, 54% is held by corporate owners. This includes businesses such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) and timber investment management organisations (TIMOs), which advise institutional investors on how to manage their forest assets.
This high percentage of corporate ownership influences forest management and replanting, as owners look to maximise the value of forests and seek to continue to generate returns from their land.
"In general, corporate owners are spending more money on silviculture and actively managing their timber stands," explains Forisk Consulting Partner Amanda Lang. "They are investing more in fertiliser, their seedlings and harvest control on pine stands, because that leads to larger trees of a higher quality and more profit in the long run." This is reflected in the higher growth rates found in the private sector, leading to faster rates of carbon sequestration.
Annual growth per hectare by owner type
Smaller private landowners, meanwhile, may have other objectives for their land like recreation and hunting, in addition to timber income. As a result, some owners may be less inclined to intensively manage their timber stands, forgoing fertilisation and competition control (due to cost) and might harvest on a less regular basis. Although these landowners may not be maximising the productivity of their timber resource to the same degree corporate owners do, their unique management often contribute to greater diversity on the landscape.
Demand and forest health
In 2018 the annual average price for a metric tonne of pine sawtimber in Morehouse BioEnergy's catchment area was $25.71, down from a 10-year high of $31.60 in 2010. Similarly, pine pulpwood, from which biomass pellets are made, was valued at $7.75 per metric tonne in 2018, down from a 10-year high of $13 in 2010.
These low wood prices have caused many landowners to delay harvesting forests in hopes for a more lucrative wood price. As a result, pine timber inventories have grown across Morehouse BioEnergy's catchment area. In 2010 the US Forest Service counted more than 167 million metric tonnes of pine inventory. By 2018 this had increased by more than 35% to reach 226 million.
Morehouse BioEnergy market historic stumpage prices, $/metric tonne
The report suggests this price slump is an ongoing result of the 2008 recession, which greatly affected US house construction – one of the primary uses of sawtimber and many other types of wood products in the US. Some areas have already seen sawtimber prices increase as they recover from the recession, however, the report suggests this is not spread evenly on a national level.
The inventory overhang in Morehouse BioEnergy's catchment area is expected to begin reversing in 2024 or 2025, as Lang explains: "We expect inventories to increase for a few more years and then start to decline. That said, inventories will remain higher than pre-recession levels."
While high inventories suggest an abundant resource, lower inventory volumes are not indicative of declining or unhealthy forests. Rather, they can point to younger, growing forests that have recently been replanted, which will later grow to higher inventory volumes as they mature. Both suggest a healthy forestry industry in which landowners continue to reinvest in forests.
Overall, the analysis of the region points to healthy, growing forests and, importantly, a sustainable industry from which Drax can responsibly source biomass pellets. Ensuring the biomass used at Drax Power Station is sustainably sourced is crucial to its generation of renewable, carbon-neutral electricity, and in turn laying the path to negative emissions.

La Manzanilla (pop.-3500) is a tranquil fishing village located on the southeast end of the Bahía de Tenacatita 21 km north of Melaque. The beautiful crescent shaped beach circles towards Boca de Iguanas 6km to the north. Mountainous jungle and mangroves border the beach which is lined with coconut palms and tropical foliage. A few hotels, private apartments and guest houses are available for those that chose to stay. There are several fully equipped stores, ATM bank machine, cyber cafe, boutiques and some first class restaurants. Local buses travel here from Barra and Melaque bus depots every 2 hours. There is a rodeo at La Manzanilla the first week of February each year. The golden sand beach is only 2km from Mex 200 highway at mile marker fourteen. Some people confuse La Manzanilla with Manzanillo the large city 81km to the south. Manzanillo city is actually in the state of Colima, while La Manzanilla is in Jalisco. There seems to be a trend to drop the "La" which you will notice on some highway signs, and many locals use 'Manzanilla del Mar'. Manzanilla is also Spanish for Chamomile, a herb that can be make into a relaxing tea. You will experience that same feeling while visiting here.

I have been doing this (SEO, PPC, Keyword Research, Internet advertising, etc) for a long time and I am still often and pleasantly surprised by what I find. Its pleasant to do work that is not so rote and predictable, like keyword variations and the Impressions they generate and the CTR (click-through-rate) they get.
Here is a simple but interesting, real-life sample that illustrates how easy it is to be wrong when you assume you know what people will search for in order to find a product or business online. You would be wrong with most of your assumptions.
This sample is even more interesting because of the keyword variables – there is more than one way to search for the brand – volkswagen or vw.
It was my assumption that more people would search for "vw dealer" than for "volkswagen dealership" because its easier to type. But this sample proves that assumption would be wrong.
And one would not necessarily assume that the people who search for "vw dealer" are the most likely to convert (click-through) into a visitor to our website – the highest CTR of all our possible keyword combinations and 250% better CTR than our big Impression keyword. Surprised? I was.

We've created specific environments that are designed to connect you with the life of our family- no matter where you are in your journey.

Design for Regulation: Integrating Sustainable Production into Mainstream Regulation

This chapter asks what is needed to craft effective legal frameworks that take the notion of sustainable production seriously. Getting to an answer requires consideration of three questions. First, what do we mean by "sustainable production" in terms of a definition and fundamental principles? Here the chapter adopts a definition and examines three central principles: life cycle thinking, integration of environmental, social and economic concerns, and a preventive orientation. Second, what types of mandatory regulation can be used to advance sustainable production in accord with the fundamental principles? In response the chapter provides an overview of forms of sustainability-based regulation, and maps them onto five existing regulatory programs that to various degrees reflect sustainable production concepts. Third, which of those forms of regulation should be used to advance sustainable production? Recognizing the breadth of this normative question, the chapter does not attempt to identify the optimal regulatory approach. Instead it offers a set of factors that may influence regulatory design in this context.

Crystals are known to help people with a variety of different mental and physical problems because of their natural energy and ability to cleanse your energy fields. Crystals are used for cleansing purposes and for increasing your energy levels in specific areas, but there are also crystals that are suitable for general health and happiness.
Once you have chosen to combine your meditation with crystals you will need to find the right crystals for your specific goals and then ensure that you cleanse the crystal before you start with your meditation with crystals practice.
A practice of meditation with crystals can be achieved in a variety of ways, you can either hold the crystal while you focus on your goals, for example if you want to replace negative beliefs about yourself and the world around you, you can hold a crystal that works on your heart chakra and use a mantra that is positive about yourself, for example "I am a beautiful person" or you can have the crystal attached to a natural twine and hang it around your neck so that it is close to your heart and use the same mantra, or you can put the crystal onto an alter and place your focus on the crystal and silently watch as the energy from the crystal starts to envelope your physical being and fill you with a positive energy.
There is no danger in practicing a meditation with crystals, but it is important to ensure that the crystals you are using are correct for the goals you wish to achieve and that you cleanse the crystal before you start your meditation with crystals practice. There are a variety of places where you can browse through a range of crystal products, find one that is most suitable for you and your goals and then begin your new journey to enlightenment.


Sun June makes regret pop in Austin, Texas. Their debut album Years was released June 15, 2018 on Austin label Keeled Scales.
The band played their first shows outside of Austin in 2018, touring the U.S. for over 50 dates and playing 20 shows in the UK, Italy, Germany, and Belgium.
Laura Colwell and Stephen Salisbury formed the band while working in director Terrence Malick's editing rooms, practicing in the office whenever Malick was out of town. They worked with Dan Duszynski (Cross Record, Loma) and fellow Malick alum Will Patterson (Sleep Good) on their first set of demos before solidifying the current line up of Michael Bain on guitar, Sarah Schultz on drums, and Justin Harris on bass.
On March 22, 2019, they'll release Younger, a four song EP that serves as a companion piece to their debut. They'll return to Europe to tour in April.
The band is already at work on their sophomore album, due later in 2019 on Keeled Scales.

Affects of Women's History Month
Crystal Neihoff is the Development Director for the Museum. Today's guest post comes from her and is about March being Women's History Month.
When I was asked to write the blog post for this week, I genuinely had to ask my marketing coordinator, "What do you want me to write on for Women's History Month?" It's not that I am unfamiliar with the topic, but I believe my question was a testament to how far we have come as a society and how far we can go.
Crystal Neihoff,
My contribution to women's history, or more appropriately the impact that women in history have made on me, is multi-faceted. I attended the U.S. Naval Academy and graduated from that institution in 2004. The first class to permit women into the Midshipman ranks was the class of 1980, and while I read the stories of the first women in the Brigade (both the horrors and the triumphs), my experience was far different from theirs. In fact, when I was in the second semester of my senior year at the Academy, I was privileged to serve at the third-highest Midshipman leadership level in a Brigade of 4,000 men and women. Above me were two other women. When I graduated from the Naval Academy and received my commission into the Marine Corps, I was among the ranks of some of the strongest female leaders I had ever met, and yet I had only just begun my Marine Corps career.
Crystal with her family upon returning from her
second Iraq deployment.
I spent eight years in the Marine Corps with two deployments to Iraq. I worked with, and had the privilege of leading, some exceptionally dedicated and professional individuals. I served under amazing commanding officers—male and female alike—and I rarely thought much of any limitation or separation of the genders. We all wore flak jackets and we all carried M16s. Whether it was a male or female pilot flying an aircraft, the enemy shot at it just the same and whether it was a male or female logistics officer leading a convoy, the enemy attacked it just the same. Men cleared buildings and women talked to Iraqi women to build partnerships between locals and military forces—both were critical to any success.
It is quite timely, then, as we approach Women's History Month, that our national conversation has recently turned to opening combat roles to women and whether this necessitates including women in the draft. While there is much to debate around this issue, I am happy that the conversation is ongoing.
Quote by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich.
Now that I have been out of the service for three years, I look at the lens of women's history through leadership. I have been fortunate in the many opportunities I have had to date because of the women (and men) before me who fought against sexual harassment, stereotypes, and gender discrimination. I am where I am, and I know that there are no barriers (only obstacles) to a woman's success because of the exceptional leaders that I have worked with. Whether it is more women in political office, more women in combat roles, or more women entrepreneurs, the fact is that as more young girls see women in leadership roles, more of these young girls will know that they can become a leader in any field.
There is a popular Facebook meme that says "Well behaved women rarely make history." While this is always a crowd pleaser, I'd offer that the people who make history are the ones who lead. Show me a leader, and I'll show you fifteen followers who aspire to be that leader. Show me a woman who leads, and I'll show you thirty girls who have a new dream!
The Museum is proud to represent many eras of history. Visit today to learn more about history and its effects on our past, present, and future. For more information about our educational programs, please visit our website.

People planning Nottingham stag weekends or holidays away over the next few months are likely to consider changing their holiday habits to help beat the credit crunch, it has been claimed.
Peter Joyner, spokesperson for holiday firm Hoseasons, said a combination of the weak pound and the wider effects of the economic crisis on budgets is likely to cause many to adapt their travel plans.
While stag parties can still make the most of the lively nightlife in UK cities such as Edinburgh, Newcastle and Nottingham, Brits might also consider alternative overseas destinations.
Mr Joyner said that people who are determined to leave Britain behind can avoid the effects of the rising euro by venturing further afield where the pound is stronger.
This might prove a popular option with those looking to make the most of their stag weekend celebrations without breaking the bank, with the cost of a holiday in Europe now a third more expensive than it was two years earlier.

Facebook CEO and Wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan Pledge $3B To End Disease
Power couple, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan launched the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative last year and now they've pledged $3 billion dollars over the next decade to cure, prevent, and manage all diseases by the end of the century. Seems like a big goal to accomplish, but they are confident that this money will make a big difference.
"We spend about 50 times more treating people who are sick than we invest in research so you won't get sick in the first place," said Zuckerberg during a press conference.
What Do They Plan To Do?
They have three goals:
Bring scientists and engineers together
Build tools and technology to empower the scientific community
Grow the movement to fund science
Already they have the Cell Atlas, which is a Biohub's first project whose goal is to understand the complex interactions between cells. Another is the Infectious Disease Project, whose goal is to detect, respond, treat and prevent diseases, such as Ebola, HIV, and Zika.
"We'll be investing in basic science research with the goal of curing disease", Chan explained. "As a pediatrician I've worked with families at the most difficult moments of their lives" Chan said.
Zuckerberg identified the key health problems that affect the world, which includes: infectious disease, cancer, heart disease, and neurological diseases.
"We have to be patient. This is hard stuff," said Zuckerberg. "This is about the future that we all want for our children. If there's even a chance that we can cure all diseases, we have to do it. We have the opportunity to leave the world a much better place than when we found it."
"We want to dramatically improve every life in Max's generation and make sure we don't miss a single soul" Chan said.

What's on Museums and galleries Ben Uri: Art. Identity. Migration
Ben Uri: Art. Identity. Migration
An art museum and educational charity, Ben Uri houses the world's largest and most distinguished collection by artists of European Jewish descent.
Founded in July 1915 in Whitechapel, the museum's collection and programming focuses on the universal themes of art, identity and migration.
The permanent collection contains over 1,300 works, representing major avant-garde movements and encompassing a broad range of 20th-century modern British artistic groups. As a whole, the collection draws attention to the significant impact Jewish artists have had on the various modernist movements in British and European art.
The main body of the collection consists of works by Jewish émigré artists who were uprooted from their European home countries in two distinct waves of emigration. As many were forced to travel from country to country before eventually taking refuge in Britain or further afield, they experienced and assimilated a range of artistic styles and movements. Those that settled here brought a new vibrancy and 'exoticism' to British Modernism, contributing to the often distinctive eclecticism of British 20th-century art.

Frank Auerbach's Mornington Crescent, Summer Morning II, 2004, depicts the familiar urban scene below his studio window in London's Camden Town. Auerbach continues to return to this subject time and again, capturing it at different times of day and in different seasons. The thickly layered impasto paint and bold colours convey a sense of the heat of the summer's morning to the viewer.
Georg Grosz's Interrogation is one of only three known fully-executed watercolours of this subject painted between 1936 and 1939. It depicts the horrific scene of a Communist being tortured by Nazi soldiers. Grosz's free and expressive use of line accentuates the savage emotions depicted in the work.

You can't visit Cuba and not hear reggaetón. The eclectic mix of salsa, hip-hop and electronica blasts from shops, cars and bike taxis. And despite government censorship and limited internet access, the genre exploded in popularity thanks to "el paquete," a grassroots distribution system that relies on nothing more than hard drives, thumb drives, and old-fashioned hand delivery.
Reggaetón started in Panama in the 1970s, and spread to Cuba in the early 2000s with the release of albums like Cubanito 20.02's Soy Cubanito. The government found the entire genre, with its overtly sexual lyrics, vulgar and demeaning and banned it in 2012. It eased up a bit in the years since, but still prohibits reggaetón artists from appearing on most state-run TV and radio or recording in state-run studios. El Paquete ("the packet") became the only way for reggaetóneros to reach adoring fans. "That's how this music has been able to gain such popularity without having access to TV or radio," Poole says.
Or much access to the internet. Less than 30 percent of Cubans are online, and those who are usually surf the web at public hotspots in parks. They pay about $1.50 an hour—a hefty sum in a nation where most people earn around $25 a month, and the government monitors online activity. El paquete started in Havana in 2008. Each Saturday, one terabyte of music, TV shows, and even commercials hits the street. A network of 300 vendors pays $20 apiece to copy the data onto hard drives. Couriers deliver the drives to hundreds of customers, who pay anywhere from $5 to $15 to download the content, which they sell to some three million people throughout the country.
Poole moved to Cuba in 2014 and noticed reggaetón's influence everywhere. Young people sport similar haircuts (long on top, shaved on the sides), tight pants, and oversized t-shirts just like their favorite reggaetóneros. The music even infects the language. Lyrics like "hasta se seque el malecon" ("until the seafront dries up"), from a hit song by Jacob Forever, became a common expression on the street. "It kinda means, 'This party goes all night,' or, 'This will go on forever,'" Poole says. She began collecting songs from the packet and shooting concerts in the spring of 2015. By fall, she was following reggaetón bands on tour and visiting them in their homes and studios.
Her magnetic images capture the infectious energy and electricity of reggaetón. Producers hole up in studios laying down the latest track. A music video shoot fills a busy city street. Artists perform on stage, half-illuminated by strobe lights and obscured in smoke while screaming fans claw at their feet. Everyone is lost in the beat. Even Poole is addicted. "Right now I like this new guy Harrison's song 'Onaonao,'" she says. "You'd hear it and go, 'What the heck?' But it grows on you when you've been here for a while."
Poole's short documentary film, Reggaetón Revolution: Cuba in the Digital Era, is playing at the Norwegian Embassy in Havana March 31st.
UPDATE: 13:43 03/30/17: A caption originally stated it cost 10 Cuban pesos for a concert. It is actually 10 Cuban convertible pesos. A quote was also updated for clarification.


These geometrically abstract wedding rings have a hidden secret. The couple who commissioned them live in and courted in the Logan Circle area of Washington DC. A fan of cartography, the groom suggested using the traffic circle itself as the design. If you look at the rings from the side, you'll see that the grooves in the ring are aligned with the positions and angles where the roads enter the circle on the map (mostly, anyway--it's hand-made!). The streets/grooves wrap over the tops of the rings and then continue radially on the reverse (instead of attempting to mirror the angles of the roads on the obverse).


I love my new cover! Aren't the colors gorgeous? As you can see, I now have a more precise release date, too. The ebook will be out on Saturday, November 12, 2016, and the trade paperback format will be out on Wednesday, November 30, 2016.
Side note: about half-way between the ebook and print release dates my 2nd daughter and her wife will be giving birth to their first child. November is looking to be a wonderful as well as busy month for me!

Nice cover!!! Looking forward to reading it!!
Thanks! Yes, I love how bright it is. I feel like the cover reflects the story well. Fun, yet with the MCs lost and confused.
Yay can't wait for this.
I hope you like it as much as the other. It's got a very different mood to it…a lot more fun.

PL+S 2016: Frankfurt trade show sets new records
Roughly 45,000 visitors from 121 countries made their way to Messe in 2016
Erica Basnicki ⋅ Apr 27, 2016
Prolight + Sound has released its visitor and exhibitor figures for this years' show: 940 exhibitors from 47 countries made presentations Messe Frankfurt between 5 to 8 April 2016, and around 45,000 visitors from 121 countries came for the première of the new event concept, setting new records for the trade show.
"This year's Prolight + Sound demonstrated the creative and economic potential of event technology and was able to exploit the positive business climate in the sector in full. Thanks to the new concept, the fair has been able to increase its significance in many different respects," says Detlef Braun, member of the board of management of Messe Frankfurt.
For the first time, Prolight + Sound was held on the eastern section of the Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre. Moving to the eastern section of the exhibition centre gave several exhibitors the chance to increase the size of their exhibition stands in comparison to previous years.
"We were able to almost double the area occupied, a long-held wish that the new location made possible. Now, we have lots more space to receive our customers and were also able to redesign our stand. For us, the fair has been extremely good," says Jochen Froh, director of business development at L-Acoustics.
The next Prolight + Sound will be held from 4 to 7 April 2017.

When choosing a courier service, it is important to ask the right questions so as to get the services you need. It is also worth noting that local courier services are cheaper and more convenient than the big courier service providers such as postal services. To find out which company to work with, some background research on the courier company is highly recommended. Here are a few questions you could ask.
When picking the right courier company, nothing else beats the company's track record of providing cutting-edge services. The courier company should have considerable experience in the courier industry to be able to stand up to your scrutiny. A track record of on-time deliveries goes a long way in encouraging clients' trust.
2. How Reliable and Professional Are Their Drivers?
What everyone needs when looking for a courier service is for their documents and packages to reach them safely. Companies that use branded cars and have their drivers wear uniforms appear more professional than those that don't. Courier drivers should be intensely trained and vetted to ensure they are the right fit for the company.
3. What Service Options Does the Company Offer?
A good courier service should meet both your short- and long-term needs. This will help you maintain a steady relationship that could even lead to more business and better deals in future. It is also important to find out whether they provide several levels of service that you could choose from depending on your needs.
4. Does the Company Use Appropriate Technology?
Knowing whether a courier service provider uses up-to-date technology in managing their orders provides you with insights about their efficiency. A courier company that uses modern technology to manage and monitor orders and deliveries is likely to be more efficient than a company that uses outdated processes. Find out if they provide personalized services to customers. The technology used should provide real-time tracking of packages and signature verification upon delivery.
5. Is the Company's Pricing Structure Transparent?
A good courier service provider should offer a transparent pricing structure. Clients should be able to visit a company's website or call and know exactly how much it would cost them to send a package. There should be no hidden fees in their pricing structure. For instance, a reputable courier company should not charge extra for unforeseen fuel surges, especially when a package is in transit.
6. What Measures Are in Place to Solve Problems?
However good a courier service is, things occasionally go wrong. This could be a delayed delivery of your package due to this or that complication. When this happens, the company should have mechanisms for providing personal feedback to the clients so as to keep them updated. If there is a delay in delivering a client's package, a good courier company should provide the client with instant constant feedback on the status of their package. This greatly builds trust between the client and the courier company.
7. Can They Handle Sensitive Deliveries?
There are times when you need to send special and sensitive packages. A courier company should have in place a mechanism for handling such sensitive packages. These may include medical deliveries such as DNA samples and other highly sensitive packages that require extreme care when handling and when in transit. Courier companies should handle packages that are highly fragile with extreme care.
It is very important to research courier companies before you settle on one that is likely to provide you with the best courier service. Asking the right people the right questions will invariably help you identify the most appropriate company to approach. In most cases, the best yardstick should be a company's track record of delivering quality services.

William Ritchie, 90, was last seen in the West Road area of the port on January 12.
Specialist officers have now expanded their search into the direction of Sandhaven.
A massive search has centred around walking routes Mr Ritchie, also known as Bill, is known to use.
On Sunday, officers continued to appeal for any information handing out leaflets with information about William and advice on contacting police.
They spoke to motorists in Fraserburgh's Boothby Road and shoppers in the town's supermarkets and licensed premises.
Inspector Kevin Goldie said: "It has been one week since Bill was reported missing and there has been no trace of him, despite a major search taking place in the town to track every route he's been known to walk in the past.
"Despite being relatively fit and healthy for his age – as far as we know – we are now seven days on and, what with the weather we've had to contend with, and the lack of contact, our concerns for him grow every day.
Sunday's searches came after police released CCTV footage of Mr Ritchie.
The footage was taken from Asda on December 21.
Mr Ritchie is described as being around 5ft 7ins, with a slim build and short grey hair.
He usually wears a black jacket or a waterproof jacket with the hood up, and a flat cap.
He regularly visits Asda, the local Co-op and the post office on Mid Street.
Anyone with information has been asked to contact police on 101.


The co-founder of Innocent, Richard Reed, claimed 'it is crazy how significant packaging is', following the hugely successful relaunch of their orange juice in a carafe. And we believe there are untapped opportunities in many categories to drive differentiation, enhance brand equity and improve the consumer experience through packaging.
Our philosophy in packaging research is to go beyond the obvious - and beyond pack testing - to maximize the role of structure and functionality as well as graphics to understand how well packaging is working on a deeper emotional level to strengthen key brand equities as well as drive on-shelf presence and engagement.
Our clients benefit from our flexible range of approaches that can be applied to any packaging scenario, bringing holistic consumer input to guide development or give confidence to decisions. Two main cornerstones sit at the heart of our toolkit – EROS (co-creation qual research) for packaging development and Impackt for screening and validation of packaging designs.
MMR's comprehensive pack validation approach goes beyond liking to assess emotional meaning together with on-shelf stand-out, message delivery, and ability to drive purchase motivation in a competitive environment. With the option to incorporate eye-tracking to enhance understanding of pack navigation and performance at fixture, and to conduct assessment using real packaging mock ups / fixtures, life size posters or online stimulus the approach can be tailored according to the level of risk / opportunity associated with the packaging decision.
IMPACKT provides detailed diagnostics as well as open-ended feedback. With principles of behavioral economics incorporating observation of choices made as well as direct questions, it will help you understand how your pack design performs in a competitive context, and tells you how to optimize.
Critically, Impackt gives you access to MMR's proprietary conceptual profiling tools which uncover non-conscious conceptualizations about brand, pack and product. This ensures we understand the potential of a packaging design to work harder for your brand – driving the desired total brand experience whether reinforcing existing equities or helping to move your brand towards a new position.
IMPACKT is modular, holistic and detailed – and avoids the risk of pack research becoming a superficial beauty contest that rewards the familiar.


There are families that genuinely enjoy each other, and the holidays are as intended: good company, good food, music, laughter, storytelling, lights and sparkle.
1.	You're not out of the norm. Certain people just leave town to avoid the whole situation.
2.	Don't discuss politics or religion.
3.	You're not going to change anyone's mind on any topic, so save your breath for deep breathing so you don't blow your top!
4.	Find the one or two people you do enjoy and hang out with them, or play with the kids.
5.	If someone is saying things you know are in accurate ignore it. Unless you can't, and as I read recently, just say, "Are you sure about that"? And change the subject.
6.	Be good at deflecting personal questions. You can generally ignore it as though you didn't hear it, and go talk to someone else. You can even ask if they really need to know that. Your personal life is personal. It's fine to keep it that way.
7.	Protect your partner. You are each other's top priority and in each other's care. Sit between your partner and your annoying relative. Make sure you sit together dinner.
8.	Don't go above and beyond what you want to do, whether that is time or money. It's good to show up for a bit, however. I'm not advocating doing nothing.
9.	Certain families still have difficulty with their LGBTQ family members. So what? Bring your partner. Maybe you won't stay as long if you don't feel like it. Again, you won't convince anyone of anything so don't waste your breath. If an offensive comment is made, let that person know you found it offensive. Leave it at that. Don't editorialize.
10.	Set limits. Have boundaries. If your mother says your cake isn't up to par, ask to stop commenting or invite her leave. You don't need to put up with crap.
11.	Drink – a little, if you want. Too much alcohol can lead to depression, belligerent behavior, or an eruption of topics best left alone – at least in this setting.
12.	Many people have a family by blood and the family by choice. Spend time with both if you can.

Video by Andrew Hasse
In his 1996 book about death, Herbert Fingarette argued that fearing one's own demise was irrational. When you die, he wrote, "there is nothing." Why should we fear the absence of being when we won't be there ourselves to suffer it?
Twenty years later, facing his own mortality, the philosopher realized that he'd been wrong. Death began to frighten him, and he couldn't think himself out of it. Fingarette, who for 40 years taught philosophy at the University of California at Santa Barbara, had also written extensively on self-deception. Now, at 97, he wondered whether he'd been deceiving himself about the meaning of life and death.
"It haunts me, the idea of dying soon, whether there's a good reason or not," he says in Andrew Hasse's short documentary Being 97. "I walk around often and ask myself, 'What is the point of it all?' There must be something I'm missing. I wish I knew."
Hasse, Fingarette's grandson, turned the camera on the philosopher in the last months of his life. The two were very close—when Hasse was a child, Fingarette would invent stories and record them on tape to send to his grandson, who lived 300 miles away, so that he could listen to them before bed. "My grandfather was one of the most thoughtful men I've ever met," Hasse told me.
Being 97 is a poignant film that explores the interiority of senescence and the struggle of accepting the inevitable. Hasse quietly observes the things that have come to define his grandfather's existence: the stillness of time, the loss of ability, and the need to come to terms with asking for help. "It's very difficult for people who have not reached a state of old age to understand the psychology of it, what is going on in a person," Fingarette says.
In one scene, Fingarette listens to a string quartet that was once meaningful to his late wife. He hasn't heard the piece since her death seven years earlier—"her absence is a presence," he says in the film—and becomes overwhelmed with grief.
Hasse made the artistic choice to omit his voice from the film, so while he was filming the scene, he had to stifle the urge to comfort his grandfather. "It's very difficult to watch anyone in that kind of pain and not be able to console them, especially someone you love so dearly," Hasse said. "I found myself sitting just a few feet away from him, unable to reach out because there was a camera between us. All I wanted to do was put a hand on his shoulder, embrace him, be with him in his pain." After what felt to Hasse like an eternity, the filmmaker handed his grandfather a tissue to wipe away his tears. The scene ends just before this happens.
Fingarette died in late 2018. Just weeks earlier, Hasse had shown him the final cut of the documentary. "I think it helped give him perspective on what he was going through," he said. "He loved talking about what a mysterious process it had been to film all these little moments of his life and then weave them together into a work that expressed something essential about him."
The day before he died, Fingarette uttered his final words. After spending many hours in silence with his eyes closed, Hasse said, his grandfather suddenly looked up and said, "Well, that's clear enough!" A few hours later he said, "Why don't we see if we can go up and check it out?"
"Of course, these cryptic messages are up to interpretation," Hasse said, "but I'd like to believe that he might have seen at least a glimpse of something beyond death."
In the film, Fingarette admits that there "isn't any good answer" to the "foolish question" of understanding mortality. "The answer might be … the silent answer."

From former 2nd Congressional District Republican candidate, Howard Houchen:
Former U.S. Congressional Candidate Howard Houchen Set To Host Political Talk Show
(Paris, Texas) 20 August 2010 – As the lights started go out on Howard Houchen's bid for U.S. Congress the lights were coming up on the set of Mr. Houchen's new conservative political television show, The Road To Liberty. Venture Studios producer James Wyatt approached Mr. Houchen late in his campaign for Oklahoma's 2nd District Congressional seat about the idea of hosting a conservative political talk show. Wyatt said, "I saw Howard had a unique quality that resonated with audiences on the campaign trail. His style and personality was something that we at Venture felt would translate very well to television."
The thirty minute program, The Road To Liberty, is currently slated for thirteen episodes which has already begun filming at the Venture Studio's facility. Guests from across the country will be featured each week discussing the topics of primary interest to conservative Americans. The show will be set apart from other programs of this type by Mr. Houchen's demonstrated ability to relate the topics to everyday life and how government overstepping the bounds of our Founders' intent is quickly taking this country off the intended path desired by the majority of Americans.
Mr. Houchen stated, "I'm really excited about the opportunity to continue reaching out to hard-working American citizens about the principles of constitutional conservatism, the proper role of government, and the absolute necessity of ensuring We, the people, check and roll back the powers of the political-class over the working-class". Houchen went on to say; "We are all Americans, it is our duty to protect and defend the rule book by which we are to govern ourselves...the U.S. Constitution. To do anything less will lead to the demise of the greatest nation God ever blessed."
Plans for the program include an initial launch in North Texas in several markets served by various cable providers. Negotiations will be ongoing during production for broadcast rights in Texas and Oklahoma markets and with satellite program providers for distribution to over 76,000,000 homes across the U.S. Viewers will also be able to watch and interact with the program at the website www.newroadtoliberty.com.
During the primary campaign, numerous people remarked to me that Houchen was more suited for a talk show than he was for political office. It looks like those speculations came true.
