England captain Wayne Rooney accepts he is no longer first-choice for club or country after being dropped by interim manager Gareth Southgate for Tuesday's World Cup Group F qualifier in Slovenia for tactical reasons.
In what some see as a bold move to leave out the skipper, Southgate on Monday handed the armband to Liverpool's Jordan Henderson while holding midfielder Eric Dier replaces Manchester United stalwart Rooney who will start from the bench.
Rooney, sitting alongside Southgate in a news conference, said he was in a "difficult period."
"It's football. He has got 23 players to select from. I've played 13 years non-stop for England and given everything and the time comes when you are not the first name on the team sheet," Rooney said. "It is a chance for other players.
"Of course, you want to be on the pitch but my role as captain won't change off the pitch. I will be supporting the players 100 percent, and hopefully we can get the win."
Southgate stressed the decision was nothing to do with Rooney's struggle for form.
"It's very straightforward really, we have looked at Slovenia and the way they play and from midway through last week I had in mind the profile of the midfield that I wanted to play and what was needed for this game," Southgate said.
"In no way is it a reflection on Wayne's performance on Saturday (against Malta), in fact we were very pleased with what he did."
Rooney, who turns 31 later this month, was booed by a minority of home fans late on in the 2-0 victory over Malta at Wembley that left England top of their group with two wins.
England's most capped outfield player, with 117 appearances, and all-time top scorer has struggled for form recently and has been a substitute in United's last three games.
He has scored just once in 12 matches this season and has netted only one goal in the last seven internationals.
Henderson ready
Southgate, who took over on an interim basis when Sam Allardyce's 67-day reign as England boss ended after he was caught up in a newspaper sting, said Henderson had proved as Liverpool captain that he was ready to lead his country.
Rooney also praised Henderson's credentials.
"I think Jordan is a fantastic leader," he said. "He has taken a difficult job from (former captain) Steven Gerrard at Liverpool and grown into the position.
"He has great leadership qualities and he deserves his chance."
Southgate said Rooney would remain captain for as long as he was England coach - having been handed the job on an interim basis for four matches - adding that it had been a "hard decision" to leave such a high-profile player out.
"It is a football decision. It's based on the opposition. On a human level it's a very difficult decision because I don't like some people getting an element of satisfaction that he's not in the team," Southgate said.
"I am probably more annoyed on that than he is because he has had to deal with that throughout his career."
While Rooney has been used in a deeper role for England, Tottenham Hotspur's Dier is a natural holding midfielder.
"I think it's clear that you are talking about two different profiles of player. Different attributes," Southgate said.
"That's the basis of the decision. It was pretty obvious that Eric would come into the game."

The men involved were not using the drug, they were buyers and sellers. Using this case as a "good example," we, along with Sheriff Campbell, can see that marijuana is dangerous not because it is a drug, but because it is illegal.
When the government stands ready to confiscate people's property rather than protect it, and when the government tries to prevent commerce rather than support it, bad things can happen.

Q: How to remove tree node and move its node node upwards? Actually in my treeview ,when i remove a tree node it removes all its child node, But i need to move its child node upwards instead of removing .I have to use in winforms in c sharp.
Anybody help me out.

A: So you just want to remove a node and keep any childnodes?
What you have to do is:

*

*Remove childnodes from the node you want to delete.

*Add childnodes before the node you want to delete.

*Remove the selected node.

A: What Rhapsody said.
And here is an example:
if (tree.Nodes.Contains(theNode))
        {
            TreeNodeCollection childNodes = theNode.Nodes;
            tree.Nodes.Remove(theNode);
            foreach (TreeNode child in childNodes)
            {
                tree.Nodes.Add(child);
            }
        }

A: The problem you're having is caused by the fact that the child nodes of any given node is stored in myNode.Nodes. So, when you remove a node all of its nodes are freed as well, so you will have to first iterate through the child nodes, move them, then remove the original node:
//assume treeChild is what you are removing, and treeControl is you TreeView
//this code will move all of its children nodes
//to be children of its parent before being removed

//set that we are updating the treeview control
//increases performance by blocking the paint methods until update is finished
treeControl.BeginUpdate();

//this will loop through child nodes of what we are removing
//then add them to the parent
foreach(TreeView node in treeChild.ChildNodes)
{
   node.Parent.Nodes.Add(node);
}

//then remove the node
treeChild.Remove();

treeControl.EndUpdate(); //note that we finished updated the controls

A: You can loop through the child nodes and add them to the node's parent before removing the node itself. This code should handle cases where the node to be removed is a parent node.
if (nodeToRemove.Nodes.Count > 0) {
List<TreeNode> childNodes = new List<TreeNode>();
foreach (TreeNode n in nodeToRemove.Nodes) {
   childNodes.Add(n);
}
if ((nodeToRemove.Parent != null)) {
   nodeToRemove.Parent.Nodes.AddRange(childNodes.ToArray());
   } else {
     nodeToRemove.TreeView.Nodes.AddRange(childNodes.ToArray());
    }
   }
nodeToRemove.Remove();

"Spanish Influenza Is Now Spreading To Western Canada. Toronto. Indications that the epidemic of Spanish influenza in Canada is passing westward appeared to-day in despatches from various parts of the country. From Quebec and the Maritime Provinces where the disease first reached its height as far as Canada is concerned, reports came today to the effect that conditions are improving.
In Montreal and Toronto and other Ontario cities, the death rate continues heavy, but it has not increased during the past few days and the medical health authorities are hopeful that with the continuance of fine weather the disease may be checked."
"Motormen and Conductors Wanted. Steady positions. Ten Days' Training. New men earn an average of $90. per month. Others make from $70. To $110. per month.
The war will soon be over. Make preparation for the future.
The Toronto Railway Company, 165 Front Street East, Toronto."
"Volunteer Army To Fight Epidemic. 'The Ontario Emergency Volunteer Auxiliary,' an organization that through branches in all parts of the province will endeavor to cope with the influenza epidemic, is one result of the conference of interested bodies held at the Parliament Buildings yesterday morning.
The Voluntary Auxiliary will at once begin to recruit volunteer nurses who will act as assistants to professionals or, with such training as can be given them, be sent into private homes to take care of the sick. These volunteers will be given a badge bearing the name of the association and the letters S.O.S. (Sisters of Service). Direction will be given to their work by a series of three lectures to be given on Tuesday and Wednesday dealing with the care of influenza patients. These lectures will be recorded in full and placed at the disposal of the volunteers.
Following the organization of the association yesterday telegraphic reports of the action taken were sent to the authorities of cities and towns in Ontario where the disease has put in appearance. These places will be encouraged to form local branches at once to recruit volunteer nurses and copies of the lectures will be sent to them by wire."
"Called by Death: Alfred Barriage. At an early hour this morning Alfred Barriage, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Barriage, of this city, passed away after a few days' illness. Deceased was 19 years of age and was born at Bath. He was a machinist and had been employed at Marsh and Henthorne's plant. He was a member of St. Michael's Church and a young man who had many friends. In addition to the parents five brothers and three sisters survive. The brothers are Leo, Harold, Kenneth, Gerald and James and the sisters are Emma, Mary and Kathleen."
"Ontario Emergency Volunteer Health Auxiliary. Wanted, Volunteers!
The Provincial Board of Health, with the authority of the Government of Ontario, has organized an 'Ontario Emergency Volunteer Health Auxiliary' for the purpose of training and supplying nursing help to be utilized wherever needed in combatting the Influenza outbreak.
The Volunteer Nurses will wear the officially authorized badge 'Ontario S.O.S.' (Sisters of Service). This 'S.O.S.' call may be urgent.
Young women of education are urged to avail themselves of this unique opportunity to be of real service to the community. If they are not needed, so much the better. If they are needed, we hope to have them ready.
All towns and cities are urged to organize and prepare in a similar manner."

Such a change in perception will subsequently open up a new degree of thinking that is based on each individual circumstance and is more holistic, instead of abstract and pieced-together knowledge a novice may have. Several factors influence an individual's preferred style. Many factors influence somebody's preferred style.

Attaining the degrees online increases the odds of promotion. The skills of nurses are regarded as invaluable in medical area and therefore there's tons of requirement for nurses. After the successful completion of the class, you might become eligible to have a medical job as a skilled optometrist.

Nursing Theory Nursing is a little different from most health-care professions in it's theory based. It ought to be focused on the topic of specialization and seize the chance for creating innovative new roles within the present system. It is vital to the framework of nursing practice.
Nursing today is significantly different from nursing practices years back. They need to be continuously aware of the health of their patients. Nursing is concerned with the entire individual.


I have problems with uploading a single file to the root of an sftp server. There is no problem to upload the file to an existing directory, but not to the root.
WinSCP.SessionRemoteException: Cannot create remote file '/test.xml'.
I don't know how to remove the leading '/'.
ok, after do some more investigation I found out, that I can't upload a file to the root duo permission restrictions on the server. I was just confused, because I was able to create a new file with filezilla in the root directory. I inform the server administrator.
If you can create file in the root with FileZilla, you must be able to create it with WinSCP (other things equal).
Show us a complete verbose session files for both FileZilla and WinSCP.
Sorry, the administrator changed something. Now I am not able to create a file in the root directory anymore.
So, all is working fine now.

This summer, the Cleveland Indians, a downtrodden franchise if there ever was one, found themselves in contention. So the Tribe called up a minor leaguer to shore up their deficiencies at second base: Jason Kipnis.
And we at JONJ, even those of us who are not into baseball, rejoiced. For Kipnis is not only considered one of the best prospects in the sport, he was also supposedly Jewish. And to add a talented youngster to the list of Jewish Major Leaguers... Well, can't go wrong with that.
Still, we were going to hold off profiling Kipnis. After all, who knows if he'll ever amount to anything in the bigs. But after Kipnis hit home runs in three consecutive games, it started to look that we would profile him sooner rather than later.
So here we are with the revelation that, alas, Kipnis, although a member of the Tribe, is not exactly a member of the Tribe. Although half-Jewish through his father, he is now a practicing, crucifix-wearing Catholic.

When a wheel fell off Emma Hoddinotts bandwagon
Posted on September 23, 2017 by Rik
We all know the Hoddinott is as keen as mustard when it comes to campaigning, thats why she joins all the unions and stuff.
I'm not sure the detail about her time at RMBC stacks up on her linkedin CV though. Whoever wrote the entry has seemingly airbrushed over the fact she was forced to resign after being slammed in the casey report.
Neither does it mention her tenure as Roger Stones press secretary and her role in trying to suppress journalistic investigation into CSE failings at the council.
Funny that.

You need to understand it like a business. The cooperative party is like a new facia because the unison one got too mucky. New cabinet role is a bit like being loaned the start up from your parents- so that doesnt get mentioned because "shes independently successful" and the word 'Rotherham'just isn't going to drag the punters in.

The Co-operative Party
believes that people will achieve more by working together than they can by working alone. It believes that through increased co-operation, we will achieve a sustainable future for our economy and society as a whole.
It supports efforts to bring about the empowerment of individuals and communities, through co-operative self-help initiatives.
It works to promote co-operative and mutual forms of economic, social and voluntary organisation, which are based on the principles of mutual ownership and democratic control.
The Co-operative Party stands for:
a sustainable economy and society
a culture of citizenship
socially responsible business
http://www.co-op-party.org.uk/
Enterprise,Empowerment and Accountability?
Perhaps Ms.Hoddinott can explain why the US hedge funds that now own the Co-op bank, without any protests from Co-op sponsored MP's and councillors, channel their investments through off shore tax havens?
Or why the most successful co-operative retailer-John Lewis-makes money and the Co-op has approximately 5% share of the market?
Not very enterprising is it? Rather like Emma.

In the interwar years the coop was the big retailer. Its decline is consistent with it being a senile institution. Woolworths went the same way.
No doubt its top management is riddled with cronyism. As for the party that has just been a cash cow for right wing Labour MPs
They talk of a coop movement but have not been much use to any group trying to set up community enterprises like saving local post offices or pubs. Their existence, it seems to me actually obstructs such enterprise.
All in all they are just a malignant chocolate teapot
useless career politicians only in it from themselves like leeches off the back of hard working voters and party members

The VN01 double block and bleed valve leans out processes previously required for the job. To find out more about the benefits of this space-saving valve follow the link below to get your copy of our VN01 quick look guide and Block & Bleed catalogue.
Having the right tool for the job can relieve a lot of headaches. With Swagelok's VN01 process valve, you'll have save on space, save on weight, and still get top performance for at high temperatures and high pressures. The added capability is due to all-needle-valve construction.
The VN01 provides double block and bleed isolation for process piping, and is right at home in the petrochemical environment. You could get a double block and bleed option in a multi valve, but with the VN01 you have it in a single, lighter, compact unit with a single CRN number. A lighter unit means less strain on your piping system and a reduced need for structural support. That's especially important when you need to protect your components from vibration.
The simplified design means you also have fewer leak paths and reduced installation costs.
You may already be aware that these kinds of valves exist, but you may not realize that Swagelok makes them. And Edmonton Valve & Fitting has standard configurations in stock.
But if you want to explore your options, the VN01 valve has several. You can get it with a standard or 3/4-inch male NPT inlet, or a 3/4-inch pipe weld. For the outlet, you have a choice of a standard half-inch female NPT fitting, but other options are available including a flange. There also are optional gauge ports.
If you could benefit from a lighter, more compact double block and bleed isolation valve, contact us through our website or by calling 780-437-0640. We'll be glad to give you more details.

by Elizabeth Gaskell
subjects: Historical Fiction
EPUB 1.3 MB
A portrait of the residents of an English country town in the mid nineteenth century, Cranford relates the adventures of Miss Matty and Miss Deborah, two middle-aged spinster sisters striving to live with dignity in reduced circumstances. Through a series of vignettes, Elizabeth Gaskell portrays a community governed by old-fashioned habits and dominated by friendships between women. Her wry account of rural life is undercut, however, by tragedy in its depiction of such troubling events as Matty's bankruptcy, the violent death of Captain Brown or the unwitting cruelty of Peter Jenkyns. Written with acute observation, Cranford is by turns affectionate, moving and darkly satirical.
In the first place, Cranford is in possession of the Amazons; all the holders of houses above a certain rent are women. If a married couple come to settle in the town, somehow the gentleman disappears; he is either fairly frightened to death by being the only man in the Cranford evening parties, or he is accounted for by being with his regiment, his ship, or closely engaged in business all the week in the great neighbouring commercial town of Drumble, distant only twenty miles on a railroad. In short, whatever does become of the gentlemen, they are not at Cranford. What could they do if they were there? The surgeon has his round of thirty miles, and sleeps at Cranford; but every man cannot be a surgeon. For keeping the trim gardens full of choice flowers without a weed to speck them; for frightening away little boys who look wistfully at the said flowers through the railings; for rushing out at the geese that occasionally venture in to the gardens if the gates are left open; for deciding all questions of literature and politics without troubling themselves with unnecessary reasons or arguments; for obtaining clear and correct knowledge of everybody's affairs in the parish; for keeping their neat maid-servants in admirable order; for kindness (somewhat dictatorial) to the poor, and real tender good offices to each other whenever they are in distress, the ladies of Cranford are quite sufficient. "A man," as one of them observed to me once, "is so in the way in the house!" Although the ladies of Cranford know all each other's proceedings, they are exceedingly indifferent to each other's opinions. Indeed, as each has her own individuality, not to say eccentricity, pretty strongly developed, nothing is so easy as verbal retaliation; but, somehow, good-will reigns among them to a considerable degree.
The Cranford ladies have only an occasional little quarrel, spirited out in a few peppery words and angry jerks of the head; just enough to prevent the even tenor of their lives from becoming too flat. Their dress is very independent of fashion; as they observe, "What does it signify how we dress here at Cranford, where everybody knows us?" And if they go from home, their reason is equally cogent, "What does it signify how we dress here, where nobody knows us?" The materials of their clothes are, in general, good and plain, and most of them are nearly as scrupulous as Miss Tyler, of cleanly memory; but I will answer for it, the last gigot, the last tight and scanty petticoat in wear in England, was seen in Cranford—and seen without a smile.
[Picture: A magnificent family red silk umbrella]
I can testify to a magnificent family red silk umbrella, under which a gentle little spinster, left alone of many brothers and sisters, used to patter to church on rainy days. Have you any red silk umbrellas in London? We had a tradition of the first that had ever been seen in Cranford; and the little boys mobbed it, and called it "a stick in petticoats." It might have been the very red silk one I have described, held by a strong father over a troop of little ones; the poor little lady—the survivor of all—could scarcely carry it.
Then there were rules and regulations for visiting and calls; and they were announced to any young people who might be staying in the town, with all the solemnity with which the old Manx laws were read once a year on the Tinwald Mount.
"Our friends have sent to inquire how you are after your journey to-night, my dear" (fifteen miles in a gentleman's carriage); "they will give you some rest to-morrow, but the next day, I have no doubt, they will call; so be at liberty after twelve—from twelve to three are our calling hours."
Then, after they had called—
"It is the third day; I dare say your mamma has told you, my dear, never to let more than three days elapse between receiving a call and returning it; and also, that you are never to stay longer than a quarter of an hour."
"But am I to look at my watch? How am I to find out when a quarter of an hour has passed?"
"You must keep thinking about the time, my dear, and not allow yourself to forget it in conversation."
As everybody had this rule in their minds, whether they received or paid a call, of course no absorbing subject was ever spoken about. We kept ourselves to short sentences of small talk, and were punctual to our time.

Magazines stolen in Little Canada — loss reported in the thousands
Submitted by admin1 on Tue, 10/29/2013 - 9:02am
Arrests, Thefts and more around Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada, and Roseville - Roseville Area police reports Oct. 29, 2013
Little Canada Roseville
A 23-year-old man was arrested Oct. 13 at Snelling and Nebraska avenues for possession of pot, a pipe and driving around in his lane willy-nilly.
A sprinter ran into the station in the 1600 block of Snelling Avenue Oct. 7, grabbed a soda and sprinted out. No suspects.
All was quiet in the city of Lauderdale last week with no hair-raising reports, other than the 24-year-old guy with the hypodermic needles arrested on Eustis Street Oct. 10, of stealing, excessive drinking, fighting or off-road driving that would interest our readers.
Senior assault
The 73-year-old wife who needed help getting dressed asked her husband for assistance Oct. 18 after a day-long argument and a fair amount of drinking by the 74-year-old man. He responded by hitting her on top of the head three times, and grabbing her by the throat before heading for the bar. The victim called 911, showed red marks on her throat to deputies and expressed fear of her husband. The suspect was found at the bar and jailed on a felony "domestic assault by strangulation" charge.
Magazines - and not the type those questionable folks try to sell you at your front door - were reported stolen Oct. 13 or 14 after a break-in at a locker at a public storage facility in the first block of Country Road D. No, these were magazines for AR-15 and AR-30 weapons, commonly described as assault rifles. Also stolen were 2000 rounds for a .223 cal. rifle. The total loss was estimated at $2,600.
There go some more Hondas
A '96 Honda Accord went missing from an apartment building parking lot in the 400 block of Labore Road the night of Oct. 17. A '98 Honda Civic disappeared from the same lot the next evening. "Shaved" keys are suspected in both thefts.

Clement Greenberg, the renowned art critic, said this about Willem deKooning. " deKooning strives for synthesis. He wants to re-charge advanced painting, which has largely abandonned the illusion of depth and volume, with something of the old power of the sculptural contour…He wants also to make it accomodate bulging, twisting planes like those seen in Tintoretto and Rubens…he wants in the end to recover a distinct image of the human figure, yet without sacrificing anything of abstract paintings' decorative and physical force. Obviously, this is highly ambitious art…and indeed deKooning's ambition is perhaps the largest, or at least the most profoundly sophisticated, ever to be seen in a painter domiciled in this country."
The monumental retrospective of Willem deKooning at MoMA, includes nearly 200 works of art and takes up the entire 6th floor of the museum. It is the kind of tribute and study that is only given to the most significant of major artists. For me, deKooning is not just one of the pioneers of "Abstract Expressionism" (a label, like all pigeonholing labels, he did not appreciate,) but one of the five greatest artists of the 20th century. This grand enterprise is called, "deKooning: A Retrospective" and was brillianaly curated by John Elderfield, the Chief Curator Emeritus of Painting and Sculpture. The show is organized chronologically, and boasts an incredible companion book, with a superb essay by Mr. Elderfiefld as an introduction. It is hands down the best art book of this year, and I can't recommend it enough.
Throughout his career, in whatever stylistic phase, deKooning painted canvases so lush, they always make my mouth water. The way he applied and mixed paint, his color palette, his expressive, gestural brushwork takes my breath away. Here are some samples from different periods. The range in time is from 1945 to 1984.
Willem deKooning was born in Rotterdam, Holland, in 1904. He lived until 1997, and started his formal art education at the age of twelve, attending the Rottterdam Academy of Fine Arts and Techniques for eight years. He also worked as an assistant to the art director of a department store. Throughout his career, he was considered a master of paint mixing, handling and application. His extensive knowledge of materials and mastery of a wide variety of techniques and draughtsmanship, was widely recognized by his peers. He came from a long line of great Dutch painters, like Rembrandt and Hals who favored a lush use of paint and energetic brushwork. In fact, Robert Rauschenberg, in the video of " Raushenberg Erases deKooning," says that he and many others turned to another direction in their art because of their awe of deKooning's technique and the folly of trying to compete with him. Below are two of his early works that mimic the style of others. The one on the left, done when he was twelve, the other a few years later.
deKooning arrived in America in 1926 as a stowaway aboard an ocean liner. He had tried to leave Holland several times before, but had been caught each time before the ship sailed. He left poor, and was poor for most of his early artistic careeer in New York. In fact, at one point in the 1940′s he could not even afford oil paints in color, and therefore worked briefly, just in black and white. His first solo show in 1948 contained these black and white works exclusively.
The flattened space with shifting planes, twisting contours, and biomorphic shapes that are deKooning's signature, are all here. Below are paintings by Miro and Gorky, the two Surrealists who, along with Picasso and Cubism were the biggest influences on him. It's interesting to see how he absorbs and extends their use of space and content into his own unique style.
Below, are examples of how deKooning deals with these issues.
Dekooning flattened out and abstracted Gorky's pictorial space, which still had remnants of traditional perspective. They shared a love of biomrphic forms, though deKooning's abstracted shapes almost always had reference to figurative components or real world objects. This ghost of the human form never left even his most abstract work, and combined with his distinctive and luscious color palette, he consistently produced work after work of great beauty. His prolificness and the consistency of his output was truly remarkable.
Through the 1940′s, he and Pollock, among the other " Abstract Expressionists" were defining a new pictorial space in the history of painting, building on the breakthroughs, primarily of Cezanne and Picasso. Unlike Pollock and the others, however, deKooning, throughout his long career , almost always worked simultaneouly on representational figure pieces along with his abstract work. Below are some of his figurative pieces from the 40′s, the same period as the paintings above.
Also, unlike the rest of the so called "New York School," deKooning's development was not a straight evolution to a signature style which he typically repeated. Talking about this, he said that, "to try to make a style is an apology for one's anxiety." During the 1940′s, the battleground in painting was all about the march to squeeze out the subjective interior world, flatten the pictorial space, and develop a non-referential vocabulary in a place without the traditional illusion of space and volume. This battle over space and content is nicely illustrated by Elderfield in his essay. He shows the following three paintings, and I will add a fourth. These are repectively by Nicolas Poussin, Picasso, deKooning and Pollock. Both the deKooning and Pollock were done in 1950.
Picasso fractured and recombined the space and forms of classical painting, deKooning, "liquified Cubism," and Pollock strained out the illusion of recognizable forms or exterior references. Both deKooning and Pollock abandon the hierarchal structure, in favor of an all over surface of equal focus and finish. The painting, above left, called, "Excavation," is 81 x 104.4 inches. It is the largest easel painting deKooning ever did, and is considered the masterpiece of his early period.
As I mentioned, DeKooning had consistently done representational pieces, usually of women. However his third series, entitled simply, "Woman," done between 1950 and 1952 caused a semi-scandal in the art world.
The figure to the left, entitled "Woman 1″ is probably the most famous painting deKooning ever did, and certainly, the most infamous. People were scandalized by its ferocious demeanor, large breasts, and huge teeth. ( In another painting, deKooning actually pasted on the canvas, teeth taken from a magazine ad.) There is a stark contrast one feels from the impression of the piece at a distance and that from close up. From afar, these woman look like fierce, amazon guardians of some precious treasure. Approach at your own risk. They are forces of nature, and hardly seductive. Up close, however, one is struck by the elegance of the space, color and brushwork, that surround the form. The figure emerges from, and goes back into, the space around it.. This tension and seamless movement back and forth, is for me, what these paintings are all about. Some critics have talked about the artist's evident misogyny. I don't think that is what is going on here. Fear and awe are what come through the strongest to me. deKoonong famously said, " Flesh was the reason oil painting was invented."
Here are some other paintings in the various "Woman" series.
Below Dekooning and his wife, Elaine, who was also a painter.
From the mid 50′s through the mid 60′s, deKooning's focus turned to landscapes, nearly pure abstractions based on both urban and country scenes. This is the "classic deKooning" period, that influenced so many painters that followed. He talked about catching a "glimpse" of something, whether on highway, in the city, or on Long Island, and then started trying to find an abstracted correlative of that. Here are some paintings in that style.
Planes of paint slide, come into focus and go out again.Large, gestural paint strokes create deep spatial effects. deKooning was known for continuously reworking his canvases, always adding layer after layer of information. There is almost a sense of, "dynamic incompletion," which deKooning courts. This period reflects the essence of " Action Painting," as Abstract Expressionism was also called. Here, deKooning seems to fight to establish, to virtually, create space-time anew, every session with the cnavas. " I paint the way I do because I can keep on putting more and more things in – like drama, pain, anger, love, a figure, a horse, my ideas of space."
DeKooning, like Pollock, had always been a legendary, heavy drinker. By the early 80′s, Dekooning's health was failing and the beginnings of dementia had become apparent. His wife came back to him after a period apart, and he now required more assistants in the studio. His work took on a lighter, more simplified quality.
Finally, as in those paintings below, the canvases consisted of just ribbons of paint. Sometimes, he required the help of his assistants while painting. He would also sometimes project images of his old paintings onto canvas and simplify the contour lines himself. Some people find these works to be examples of his diminished capacity. His work was, perhaps, not as consistent in quality as it had always been. I think, however, many of these late works represent a significant display of an unquashable, unconscious reservoir of ingrained habit and technique.
These simple lines and contours floating over the canvas have a feeling of Japanese calligraphy and, profoundly, as John Elderfield called it, "an articulation of vacancy." These works make me think of Quantum Super Strings, vibrating through multi-dimensional space, creating the universe in all its aspects.
For me, deKooning is a giant. I have never seen anyone create such evocative, sensuous, and just plain, gorgeous, space and form, directly out of paint. With deKooning I always feel that forms arises out of space and is inseparable from it, in a way that's different than any other painter. Everytime I see a work of his, even in reproduction, I want to jump for joy, and also to run to the studio and paint.
I want to wish everyone a great holiday season, and the happiest of New Years. See you in 2012.

What a wonderful article you have written! I cannot think of even one word that could be added to what you have written–it is marvelous! My feelings are similar to yours. It is wonderful seeing all these images here together. You have curated a collection of the best examples of his work. I need to read it all again and look some more at the paintings. Thank you for a de Koonig feast. I love what you wrote about quantum strings. Happy holidays to you!
Thank you so much, Helen, I really appreciate it. This one took a lot of work. But was a labor of love. Best of the season to you too.
reading this and seeing his work makes me very inspired also. you wrote this so well david. this makes me miss going to moma and seeing such great works. so that you for sharing this…and thank you for the work you do on this site.
Thanks Margarette. It is so important to be able to go to museums to see great work on a regular basis. We all should move to NewYork, Paris, or London, to really have the best opportunity.
Interesting that you and Margaret both feel inspired to paint. I feel more like giving up when I see such incredible work. Great post, and captured the essence of an artist who's work I knew well, but nothing really about him. Thanks!
I know that feeling. For me, it works both ways, depending on my mood. More times than not, it inspires me to work. With poetry, I find it slightly different. There are certain poets and poems I read that make me feel like never writing again.
Excellent, as always! It made me really wanna get that book on the MoMa exhibition. Might just do that. Wonderful work. Great article. Now some java black.
Thanks Ulf, and yes that catalogue is incredible. A fine Xmas present to yourself.
I've had to cut back on the joe. Do you have trouble sleeping?
Sue W. says:
Wonderful article, Mr. Leeds. I find it interesting that deKooning's last paintings are so simple, with so much white space. They are also brighter than his earlier work, although I'm sure that's difficult to really judge if you don't see them in person.
I do not agree with his statement "he said that, 'to try to make a style is an apology for one's anxiety.'" I think, at least in the early years of painting, you need to "try to make a style" – and it is how you end up with your own style. Hit and miss, hit and miss, ever inching forward to reveal yourself.
My favorite (Duchamps' Nude Descending Staircase) reminds me of deKooning in the play of the human figure, but Duchamps seemed to play with depth in this piece. I, personally, am fascinated by depth and motion.
Again, a lovely piece you've written, and I enjoyed learning about this artist. As Helen said, I will need to read and reread this piece to fully appreciate its depth. Pun intended.
Thanks Sue, I appreciate your support. And I do agree with you about trying to forge your own style. By copying and reinterpreting our influences, we find our own voice. However, I feel, and I think deKooning meant as well, that you look at people who get to a certain point, often mid-career, that just do the same thing over and over and you can see that they are deeply in a rut of phoning it in. He tried to rediscover the act of creation each time out, over the whole span of his career. Also, you are totally right about the lightness of these later works.
Ludmila Sakowski says:
Thank you for a wonderful & article. Short but informative and well illustrated. Merry Christmas ans a Happy New year from New Zealand Isles.
Thank you, Ludmilla, and all my best wishes for same, back to you.
Thank you David for taking us on an interesting tour on the lifework of deKooning.
Indeed, he accomplished a lot, a real lot.
Definitely strong, abstract art, but then suddenly, this gentle pictorial woman out of the blue!
Your review of deKooning was a joy to read, especially as you managed to cover the whole production of the artist.
Writing a decent comment after reading and seeing something like this, by a total amateur like me, is impossible.
Yet I want you to know, that you are doing great work here on the blogosphere. Your blog is very much needed.
Mette, thanks so much for your continued support and appreciation. I have so much enjoyed getting to know you, and getting a glimpse into your life outside of Helsinki.
carmen dardalla says:
Thankyou David! a wonderful article, I really apreciate it….made me rediscover this incredible painter….
I love this blog! I´m allways looking forward to your next article…Please continue next year!
I wish you , Kathy and your familly all the best!
Thanks so much Carmen. I've appreciated your friendship and support throughout the year, and wish you the very best for the holidays and New Year. I will certainly keep things going here. It's been a lot of fun and very rewarding.
Colin Scibetta says:
this is a great post David — I still remember the visceral reaction I had while sitting in 12th grade AP art history when the image of "Woman 1″ came up on screen — haunted but a little enticed, and not quite sure why. You've made me want to check out this MoMa exhibit in…and read more about deKooning.
I hope you're well, and would love to see you and Kathy soon!. Much love,
The exhibit is extraordinary, Colin. The strength of his work just blows one away. Hope you are having a holiday break. All best.
A wonderful "essay" on deKooning! I would love to see this exhibition in New York. This is one of about a dozen things happening in NYC right now that I would love to plan a trip around. I learned so much about the artist from this blog post, and I thank you for continuing to enlighten us about some of the great art in the world and conveying your personal joy at its existence. Your feelings are contagious and always make me want to go to a museum or gallery and look at art. Hope you have a Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Sunday. As you know, it is a labor of love. The blog has enabled me to reach more people to share my passion for art with than has my own work. In that sense, I find the two efforts complimentary. Coincidently, I was just reading Ciao Domenica, mouth watering in a xmas cookie frenzy, when I heard the ping that was your comment. Looks like you had a wonderful time. All best wishes for the New Year to you and your family.

China's Risky Iran Strategy
The Chinese govt has repeated its pledge to enforcing sanctions on Iran. But words need to be followed by action.
By Meir Javedanfar for The Diplomat
Following is a guest entry by The Diplomat contributor and Iran analyst Meir Javedanfar, who looks at the implications for China of its policy toward Iran.
The recent Washington Post report that Chinese companies are breaking UN sanctions by selling equipment to Iran for its nuclear and missile programme sent shockwaves through the international community.
According to the article, the equipment sold includes high-quality carbon fibre that Iran started to use around four years ago to improve the performance of its centrifuges and missile production, and it therefore seems extremely unlikely that the Chinese government wouldn't have been aware of such dealings by Chinese companies.
As an emerging superpower, China has been actively involved in spreading its economic, and in some cases military, influence around the globe. Its 'string of pearls' naval policy is one such example, with its developing of ports in the Asian subcontinent in places including Pakistan and Bangladesh aimed at serving the country's growing economic, diplomatic and naval interests.
And as China moves forward with its plans to become a world power, it's likely to find itself increasingly challenging the United States. The US reaction will be firmer in some places than others. Iran is one such area—the US government has spent a lot of time and effort putting together a strong international coalition against the Iranian government at the United Nations and is loath to see it undermined.
And right now there's a domestic angle in the US too. Many Americans are concerned about the prospect of a nuclear Iran, and so any action that might indicate a lack of resolve on the part of the US government in trying to stop Iran from getting its hands on a bomb could cost the president and his party crucial votes in next week's mid-terms.
The illicit trade by Chinese companies with Iran could also strain China's relationship with Russia, as the Russian government has no desire to see Iran become a nuclear power. Indeed, Russia has never wanted this, as a nuclear Iran would provide a challenge on Russia's southern border. Moscow's determination to stop Iran from building a bomb was recently demonstrated to the Iranian leadership when Russia banned the sale of S-300 missiles to the Islamic Republic and refused entry to Iranian nuclear scientists. That China's been caught selling material used for Iran's nuclear and missile programme is only likely to create anger and frustration in Moscow.
And these are sensitive times for China for other, more immediate reasons too. North Korea, which sits on China's border, is one issue. And domestically its human rights record has been thrown into the spotlight after this year's Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a jailed Chinese dissident. Defending Iran, which is relatively low on the list of Chinese strategic interests, risks becoming a damaging distraction that will test Western patience and risks undermining relations on other issues.
In the long run, China depends on the Middle East as an important source of energy and so needs regional stability in order to ensure stable prices for its gas and oil supplies. A nuclear Iran, which would likely become more aggressive in its foreign policy, is likely to push up energy prices, meaning higher costs for the Chinese economy. This would hurt not only China's economic interests, but its military ambitions as well. After all, China's plans to expand its navy and modernize its air force depend heavily on the well-being of its economy and higher energy prices will make it more difficult for China to afford the growth of its all important military muscle.
Although the Chinese government has reiterated its commitment to implementing UN sanctions against Iran, such words need to be followed by action. This isn't just for the sake of the international community—it's also in China's own long-term interests.
Beijing must give up on the temptation of making quick and easy money by breaking UN sanctions against Iran. If it doesn't, it will very likely find that its current Iran policy is a strategic own goal.

China Reflections
What is Chineseness?
A not-so-distant mirror to the past … and future
Macroaggressions
Bill Markle
Older News Comments
From America Online - Several billionaires have recently criticized the wealth tax proposal of presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). And fellow lawmaker Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has come to her aid. AOC: 'Y'all, the billionaires are asking for a safe space'
But perhaps the billionaires threatened with having to pay taxes almost like the rest of us have learned how to do political threats from their experience with China.
News: IP theft - no more worries
Just a brief note - the FBI has more than 1,100 China IP theft cases pending against Chinese entities or individuals. Not a typo - 1,100.
For American companies not doing business in China - we should not say, no exposure to China - the FBI investigations may still be something of a bulwark against theft. Although, one notes, most of the investigations and arrests are in arrears of the crime.
And back nearly a year ago, Mr. Xi promulgated a new IP theft policy which threatened Chinese businesses that steal. The policy was announced within hours of a Xi-Trump meeting last December, and comprised a coordinated efforts across 38 Chinese government agencies with 38 different punishments. The insincerity of this announcement, coming immediately upon the leaders' meeting, was palpable. If you want to believe, you may. I wrote about this at the time in Everything new is old again.
But with a new Chinese government policy, IP theft in China is no more.
Aggressive moves by the government have sensitized the world to Chinese export of skullduggery, lying, theft, and threats to foreigners in their own country by Chinese organizations in business and government. Infiltration of politics and government in Australia and New Zealand has become a recurring story.
Unfortunately, such actions can bias some people against Chinese everywhere. So - what to make of Gladys Liu?
China censorship by extortion in London
Update at October 7, 2019 - The NBA self-censors for China
The NBA is a business - we know that. But the NBA has been the professional league in which players and coaches have had the most freedom to speak their minds about issues of rights and morality. Now, apparently, that freedom of speech stops at the Chinese border. The New York Times has the story - NBA executive's Hong Kong tweet starts firestorm in China.
Daryl Morey, the general manager of the Houston Rockets, tweeted an expression of support for protesters in Hong Kong. This upset the Chinese Basketball Association, and some Chinese fans, who see Hong Kongers as only hooligans and destroyers of Chinese harmony. Morey's tweet suggested that he "stands with Hong Kong." He has now apologized to the NBA's largest international market. The NBA has disavowed his comment, although it did suggest weakly that he had a right to say what he said. Of course, the Chinese league commented with the old trope, that Morey had hurt the feelings of all Chinese people (who are basketball fans).
Police extremism in the Hong Kong subway
Videos of police extremism in the Hong Kong subway
update at October 5 - after months of protest and escalation, and some excessive violence by police and thugs against protesters, I am starting to admire the Hong Kong police a bit for their restraint.
That is certainly not the popular attitude among protesters and supporters in Hong Kong. But the police are caught in situations more war-like than preserving-the-peace like.
Video of destruction at subway stations - there are many such videos from the last few months, but the extent of the damage is causing Hong Kong to shut down - more here and here. No one knows where this goes or at this point what the intent can be. At some point, shutting down Hong Kong only plays into the hands of the government. The mainland needs Hong Kong, that is true; but Hong Kongers need Hong Kong as well.
Chinese Officials Threaten Mainland Parents of Student Attending Australian Protest

The Great American Cultural Revolution
Further to Xi, DJT, GOP, CCP
About two years ago, I wrote a series of posts pointing out similarities between Mr. Xi and Donald Trump and their respective political parties. Now comes the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution – with American characteristics.
We have a leader who promotes violence but keep his hands sufficiently clean by not leading, like Mao. We have a political party with fortunes tied to the words of this mercurial leader. Dissension has risen within GOP, as it did in CCP, but the political leaders who are rebels will be slapped down. The entire party is in thrall to a crazed minority, who determine policy for years. From a trumpian perspective, Mao's famous quote is right on target - "there is great disorder under the Heavens and the situation is excellent."
It would be too delicious if it weren't so scary. I can't help but paraphrase the wiki entry on the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Go ahead and read that first. Won't take but a minute. The parallels are eerie. Below, I changed a few words from the wiki.
Political values and social media in Trumpworld-GOP and CCP
Written back in June. Seems like ages ago, but the virus in all its forms is still with us, even after the election. And the Covid-19 vaccine will have 0% effectiveness on the political virus. Michelle Goldberg back then on the recent NYT Tom Cotton op-ed business –
It's important to understand what the people around the president are thinking. But if they're honest about what they're thinking, it's usually too disgusting to engage with. This creates a crisis for traditional understandings of how the so-called marketplace of ideas functions. It's a subsidiary of the crisis that has the country on fire.
Once Upon a Time, America
At the end of 2018, I wrote a series of posts on similarities between Xi and Trump, CCP and GOP. See below.
Now, about six weeks before the election, Barton Gellman at the Atlantic has an analysis of how Trump can disrupt the election and refuse to leave. This is by no means the only story like this, and the idea seems more and more possible. What if Trump Refuses to Concede?
