In Sun Valley and Beyond
By D. Gibson & Jennifer Walton
"Untitled" by Kristof Kosmowski. Venetian plaster and oil on board, 71.5" x 71.5", at Mitchell Contemporary.
The attraction to Sun Valley for artists and art collectors as well as many respected art galleries has a long history, and this Western enclave has long been a sought-after paradise for art seekers. In this issue of Western Home Journal, we have uncovered exciting new art, artists, and a gallery representing what is happening in the burgeoning world of Western art in this corner of the West. Tim Mitchell of Mitchell Contemporary has opened up a gallery in the heart of Sun Valley to present works by living contemporary artists whose modern approach to traditional methods and mediums are fresh and new. Valley-based artisan and craftsman, Jon Nasvik, presents his latest concrete artworks that evolve from his unique sense of color and design, which he discovers in his unending desire to work with concrete as decorative art. Tracing his ancestral narrative and existence in the modern world, ledger artist Terrance Guardipee offers a historic lesson in Native American culture with a look to the future. In addition, George Gulli's craftsmanship for totem pole work connects with collectors and art lovers on a sublime and ethereal level, offering a sense of the past, present, and future. Explore Western fine art throughout this issue of Western Home Journal as another element to discovering or enhancing your dream home and surroundings in the West.
Mitchell Contemporary:
Brings New Contemporary Art Space to Sun Valley
"Untitled" by Kristof Kosmowski. Venetian plaster and oil on board, 48"x 48", at Mitchell Contemporary.
Tim Mitchell has been an art lover since he attended college at Georgia State University, where he studied and acquired a taste for contemporary fine art under the mentorship of the Atlanta portrait artist L. Comer Jennings, Jr. It was Jennings' influence that eventually led Mitchell to discover his life's passion and work, culminating today in the Mitchell Contemporary art gallery in Sun Valley. As a world-traveled art collector and gallerist, it's no surprise that Mitchell chose Sun Valley as the place to open his newest gallery. Mitchell says, "I've always heard about Sun Valley, but I have to let things speak to me, and I came to Sun Valley and fell in love with it. It's a beautiful town. I love the natural beauty, the mountains, clean air, and excitement of the people who visit and live in Sun Valley."
For many years prior to landing in Sun Valley, Mitchell acted on his love for art on an extended trip to Copenhagen, where he found himself collecting old works, and realized how much he enjoyed it. He came back to the U.S., and eventually started working in sales for Aspen, Colorado, gallery owner Mark Tye, who gave him the opportunity to be his director and take his current gallery in a new direction. Mitchell also staged and created a series of pop-up art galleries in Aspen and Vail with works by regional artists, emerging artists, and well-established, blue chip artists. Fast-forward to 2018, and Mitchell's new space on Sun Valley Road features works by artists whom he has represented for years, including Kristof Kosmowski. "Kristof is a world-class artist with Old World roots, and it has been a joy and a pleasure to work with him. I am constantly blown away by his creativity and work ethic. He has been an instrumental part of my success as a gallerist. He's my main artist, whose work I feature prominently, and he is my featured artist for my grand opening in Sun Valley."
Mitchell presents works from Kosmowski's "Abstract Series," including several of his cubes. Kosmowski is a prolific painter who continuously expands his approach. His inspiration comes from his personal life experiences, but also from the modern masters Claude Monet, Gustav Klimt, Paul Cezanne, Robert Motherwell, and Gerhard Richter. Utilizing the challenging medium of Venetian plaster with inherent oil pigments gives Kosmowski's work depth, texture, and a rich organic feel. Venetian plaster was used as far back as Roman times, but it became popular during the Renaissance 500 years ago in Venice. It is primarily composed of crushed marble and lime putty, which can be tinted to give a vast array of color. Kosmowski's distinct color palette inflicts a rich and complex outcome. Each variation infused into the plaster is applied with dissimilar quantity and never measured. A palette knife painter, Kosmowski's bold use of color, texture, and pastels coupled with his innate raw energy are the signature marks of this Colorado-based, international artist.
"Kristof is a world-class artist with Old World roots, and it has been a joy and a pleasure to work with him. I am constantly blown away by his creativity and work ethic. He has been an instrumental part of my success as a gallerist."
–Tim Mitchell
Mitchell Contemporary also presents sculpture by D'Arcy Bellamy, who is based in Boise, Idaho. Bellamy creates figures made from a pipe shaped with a plasma torch. His sculptures reflect the aesthetic of the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi. Other works include sculpture by Siri Hollander, who has become a master of three-dimensional images of horses and has developed her figure sculptures, which are influenced by the emotional impression in the sculptures of modern masters. In addition, Mitchell also presents acrylic on canvas works by Ron Apgar, whose current collection consists of contemporary horse paintings, figurative works, and abstractions.
Mitchell Contemporary also exhibits works by abstract impressionistic painter Diana Carey, who paints with a gestural technique similar to Jackson Pollack but in the vein of Georges Seurat. Carey throws, splatters, and drips numerous layers of acrylic house paint onto prone canvas using brushes and sticks. Mitchell is also excited about his newest addition, Malen Pierson, who is based in northern Utah. Pierson works with used objects and old equipment, which he finds on industrial sites and farms. Currently, his buffalo and moose are on exhibition in front of the gallery.
A long-time client of Mitchell's, Dr. Constance Chu, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Stanford University, observes, "Mitchell has a knack for finding and showcasing unique contemporary art by living artists. Works by Mitchell's artists have transformed my home and office, bringing emotions and perspectives from nature into daily life. As an investor in the gallery, I am thrilled to see the international mix of talent he is offering to the clientele at a world-class resort like Sun Valley."
Whether traveling to New Zealand, sailing in Australia, diving in Thailand, or finding his way to Vancouver, Mitchell always has art on the mind, visiting his artists in every corner of the world. Mitchell Contemporary specializes in modern, contemporary paintings and sculpture by established and emerging international and regional artists working in a variety of media including Venetian plaster, oil on board, and acrylics on canvas. Mitchell Contemporary also presents a variety of sculpture pieces in raku, clay, bronze, iron, stainless steel, and copper.
Mitchell Contemporary is located at 400 Sun Valley Road, #102, in Ketchum, Idaho. For more information, email Tim Mitchell at mitchellcontemporary@gmail.com, call 970.404.7206, or visit mitchellcontemporary.com.
Jon Nasvik's Decorative Concrete Art:
Behold the Beauty
"Cache" by Jon Nasvik. 25½" x 34½", concrete at Cliffhangers, Inc.
"What's interesting to me is that I have learned more about the use of color and design in concrete work thAn I did in art school. And, surprisingly even to me, for such a cold, hard material, concrete offers a seemingly endless amount of movement and life to my artwork."
–Jon Nasvik
If you enjoy the contemporary appeal of concrete as part of a home's design, you might be interested to know that this ancient building material, deriving from ground limestone rock, can also be exquisite fine art. Sun Valley-based artisan and craftsman, Jon Nasvik, who formed Cliffhangers, Inc. 27 years ago to create functional and decorative uses for concrete, has been an artist as far back as he can remember. An expert and artistic craftsman, Nasvik is in constant demand for the growing number of design-oriented people who recognize the benefits and appeal of concrete.
For more than 50 years, Nasvik has been working in the decorative concrete industry creating functional, beautiful home concrete works and entities for inside and outside the home, including countertops, sinks, walls, floors, fireplaces, and water features. Recently, his use of this decorative concrete knowledge has evolved toward transitioning to studio art. The range of possibilities that this unusual art medium has to offer is intriguing. Nasvik is discovering through his imagination and abilities of working within the medium the seemingly endless possibilities concrete can offer his fine art experience.
"Avocado" by Jon Nasvik. 28½" x 28½", concrete at Cliffhangers, Inc.
"Apparition" by Jon Nasvik. 30" x 38¾", concrete at Cliffhangers, Inc.
"It's art that you can touch and feel," says Nasvik. "It has a smoothness and/or texture. It's solid concrete and durable but light enough to hang on a sheetrock wall when cast less than half of an inch thick. Depending on the angle it is viewed from, light will capture the patterns in these pieces, and break up in ways that change the character of the piece. This idea opened my head to evolving beyond painting on a flat plane. Why shouldn't interesting things be happening depending on the light, and the goal I am trying to accomplish with it?"
It's true. The work Nasvik puts into his concrete art will reveal different dimensions to the shapes and lines and colors—allowing ongoing exploration and discovery to the eye of the beholder. For this reason, Nasvik is carving and building when creating his concrete fine art pieces. Much of his work is created upside-down and he places actually colored cement, not paint, on a plastic sheet. It is a type of blind process. In another method, Nasvik will build up the colored cement layers, which is more like painting on a board, followed by grinding, chipping, and other methods to make the surface more interesting. Through these two different efforts, Nasvik is often finding new things in the process and, as he says, "I can push into the next piece, and it's a neverending adventure that continues on toward new discoveries."
Nasvik uses texture to interpret objects or items he depicts, allowing for changing light, and he's now working toward more abstract pieces. "Most of the color you see in my work is the cement," tells Nasvik. "I can apply tints, stains, and color-enhancing sealer as I see fit, to achieve a completed piece." He adds that he's noticing different effects along the way through the processes he uses, such as rippling, making more air pockets for definition, and several other practices that are allowing his imagination to explore the infinite possibilities of concrete for fine art. "It's a new exploration. It is something that has not been tried. It's fresh and different. The use of the material is fresh, and I have been doing this for over 50 years. I like creating works of art more than anything else I do. I really do think I have something to give with this work."
"Things in a Box" by Jon Nasvik. 25½" x 36", concrete at Cliffhangers, Inc.
"Emerging Light" by Jon Nasvik. 37½" x 45½", concrete at Cliffhangers, Inc.
Picking a color palette is most likely one of the most difficult components for Nasvik, but the process of always learning is very motivating and exciting to him. "Spontaneity, movement, and texture are things that I really enjoy about creating these art pieces," he says. "What's interesting to me is that I have learned more about the use of color and design in concrete work than I did in art school. And, surprisingly even to me, for such a cold, hard material, concrete offers a seemingly endless amount of movement and life to my artwork."

George Gulli
Dreaming of Totems
By Jennifer Walton
When George Gulli sleeps he dreams of totem poles. He contemplates the massive straight larch logs free of their imperfections, center-lined for their design, and cradled upon several sawhorses. He thoughtfully considers the intricate carvings, which could range from traditional Pacific Northwest Coast Native American tribe symbolism to bold and unique designs that he will arrange on the pole to depict his client's life, environment, or the poles' site. As a third-generation carver inspired by his father, his larger-than-life totemic art studs the Rocky Mountains, but also lives as far away as Canada and Ireland. For 37 years, his dreams continue to reflect the gratitude he feels bringing this sacred and oft forgotten art to the world.
The history of totemic art depicts many elements, most notably tribal ancestry, individual clans, wealth, status, and legends. Sometimes events or celebrations were told as stories, hence the reference, "Story poles." The most identifiable totem poles are those from the Northern Pacific Coast, as in Alaska and British Columbia. However, the American Coast Salish tribes in northern Washington play an essential part in the art's history and its importance in providing interpretation, cultural teachings, and preservation for future generations. Surprisingly, the word totem is not a Northwest Coast Indian term, nor is totem pole whose origination is an Anglo-European term for "monumental wood pillars carved by people of the northern Pacific Coast." Rather the terms totem and totemism are "anthropological terms that refers to a variety of beliefs and practices concerning relationships between human groups and natural phenomena, usually animals but also plants, celestial bodies, and other living beings, places, and powers of nature… whose idea-typical version is a free-standing, painted, multi-figured pole, often with outstretched wings."
*Pauline Hillaire, Scalla-Of the Killer Whale, a Lumni cultural historian.
"Today people want art that they can relate to and enjoy, and I want them to know that if they have a special place and want a carving, I'm their guy."
So, how did this soft-spoken, wildly intelligent Montanan whose grandfather carved stone in Italian quarries and whose father relished its medium in wood while living in California, take to carving enormous felled trees that require the ultimate in creative visualization to produce a totem so dictated by precision and patience that few non-Natives are ever fully recognized by First Nation tribes as serious artists? By watching his father. "I didn't want all the knowledge to go away," says Gulli, "and I began to understand that with each client, and my experience in getting to know them, and the joy they exhibited in having something made specially for them, a piece that looks beautiful in their yard, was really my joy. Being an artist is wonderful. It works for me." And his clients agree.
There's the Canadian brewery that ordered an astonishing 24 poles. And, then there's the couple from Jackson, WY who upon receiving their first work of art a few years back, proudly claimed, "You haven't heard the last of us yet!" Their recent installation involved a trio of totems whose carving took 10 months. The images on the poles and the sizes of the poles were requested, however the order of the design and details were up to Gulli's imagination. And, then there's musician Jason Mraz, whose pole Gulli states combined "a hummingbird on the back of a surfboard, mixed in with an owl, and a cat holding a guitar that I put strings on." Traditional? No. Whimsical? Possibly, but as Gulli reiterates, "Today people want art that they can relate to and enjoy, and I want them to know that if they have a special place and want a carving, I'm their guy."
That special place, whether emotional or physical is what Gulli is tempted by. From designing, to measuring, to the pole's initial cuts, with traditional hand tools like chisels and calipers, to non-traditional tools like grinders and sanders, and chain saws to "chunk out" large pieces of wood, Gulli realizes it is a privilege to carve for that client. "Being able to expand out of my heart is my greatest joy." That satisfaction is readily seen in both his traditional and non-traditional designs. When a client asks for an eagle or a wolf, Gulli explains its historical significance. The former is known as smart and resourceful as he rules the sky with the ability to transform himself into a human. The latter is very powerful and known to help people who are sick or in need. Totem poles include various symbols that enact powerful reactions to those who stand beneath the monumental sculptures. Alternatively, the poles can signify the entrance to a property, define an honored location, tell a family's story or a village's tale, or commemorate special occasions like marriages and anniversaries. Towering overhead, a totem pole is a complex piece of art constructed from a tree that characterizes an idea or statement and when raised is emblematic of a ceremony.
"People blow my mind with their requests. I am always amazed. It makes my heart full."
Gulli's eye for scale and detail is excellent. Working with poles that range in size from 4' to a staggering 50', his process is a lesson in restraint and composure. After the carving is complete, selected areas are hand painted prior to sealing the entire pole for protection. Designs from start to finish can range from six weeks to two years depending on size and style. "People blow my mind with their requests. I am always amazed. It makes my heart full."
To meet Gulli, visit his studio in Victor, MT, where his passion for poles is palpable. Or, visit his website to inquire about the pole you're dreaming about.

Connects the Past, Present, and Future through Ledger Art

The power of art and its beholder is never so powerful as it is with the work of ledger artist Terrance Guardipee. Guardipee is an internationally acclaimed Blackfeet painter and ledger artist consistently recognized for the traditional depiction of his Blackfeet heritage and contemporary innovation represented through all of his work. He is one of the first Native American artists to revive the historical ledger art tradition, and was the first ledger artist to transform the style from the single-page custom into his signature map collage concept. The map collage concept is based in the ledger art style, but incorporates various antique documents such as maps, war rations, and checks in addition to single-page ledgers.
"It was around 1850, the middle of the 1800s, when the buffalo started to be wiped out," Guardipee explains. "When the buffalo became scarce, instead of letting our form of pictograph writing or record-keeping die out, we transferred it to paper." Utilizing antique documents in all of his artwork dating from the mid-19th century, and typically originating from the historical and present Blackfeet homeland of Montana, Guardipee's work is not only an homage to his ancestors, but it's also personal to his own family heritage. He adds, "When individual warriors would go into combat, if they lived, they would come home and they would draw what they did in combat."

"The ledger paper, antique checks, and documents I use in my artwork are from Montana, which is the ancestral homeland of the Blackfeet (Pikuni) people."
Guardipee is an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Nation of Montana, and illustrates his personal experience of Blackfeet culture in combination with his educational experience in his artwork. Guardipee was raised in the Blackfeet homeland in northern Montana, and as a result, the cultural life and history of the Blackfeet people became a foundational part his identity. Guardipee participates in the traditional Blackfeet ceremonies often depicted in his artwork. His understanding and personal knowledge of authentic Blackfeet history and traditional culture is expressed throughout his work. Guardipee says, "The ledger paper, antique checks, and documents I use in my artwork are from Montana, which is the ancestral homeland of the Blackfeet (Pikuni) people."
Guardipee lived in Montana until he attended the Institute of American Indian Arts [IAIA] located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he studied two-dimensional arts. His educational experience at IAIA enabled him to incorporate the contemporary color palette he is known for in a manner that is consistent with Blackfeet tradition.

"I am so proud to be part of ledger art and its growth and existence into the new millennium."
The innovation Guardipee has demonstrated in his artwork is recognized by numerous museums, prominent Indian art markets, and private collectors.
Through his paintings Guardipee reveals he is, "Showing the change from living in the 1800s… There is a change and evolution with the time. It's moving forward."

Guardipee is the godfather of ledger art, which he created twenty years ago. His work is featured in the permanent collections of prestigious institutions such as the Smithsonian Institute, the Gene Autry Museum, the Hood Museum at Dartmouth College, and the Museum of Natural History in Hanover, Germany. Furthermore, Guardipee was the featured artist at the National Museum of the American Indian in 2007, and was selected to create an image for The Trail of Painted Ponies at the 2008 50th Anniversary Heard Museum Indian Art Market. Terrance has placed first in ledger art several years in a row at Santa Fe Indian Market, as well as winning best of western art in 2017.

INTERVIEW: Emmy'Anna – An independent and versatile artist from Alabama
By: Jeena Johnson
Emerald, known by the name Emmy'Anna, is a young female, independent and versatile artist, who has had a love for music since her childhood days. She started writing lyrics at the age of 8, and states that though her style is mostly Rap, she appreciates Rock and Alternative Rock music.
Can you tell us a bit about who Emmy'Anna is and where you come from?
Emmy'Anna: I am a very diverse and versatile musician from Alabama.
Who were your first and strongest musical influences that you can remember?
Emmy'Anna: At first it was Beyoncé and Destiny's child then when Nicki Minaj came out, she inspired me a lot.
If I was to turn on your media player right now, which artists/songs would I see on your recently played list?
Emmy'Anna: Recently played you would see YNM Melly and probably Trippie Redd.
What do you feel are the key elements in your music that should resonate with listeners?
Emmy'Anna: If anything I just want girls like me, especially girls that look like me who have dealt with depression or anxiety or any mental illness for that matter, to feel like they have someone they can look up to and someone who is relatable to them.
How strict are you about making diverse genres of music? Do you stick to just one, or are you open to various styles?
Emmy'Anna: I'm open to various styles of music and actually listen to various styles of music. I'm open to pop, rock, alternative rock and all of that.
What kind of music do you like listening to aside from the music you're writing or performing?
Emmy'Anna: I listen to a lot of alternative rock.
Do you ever write a song with current musical trends, formulas or listener satisfaction in mind, or do you simply write what comes from your heart?
Emmy'Anna: Sometimes I will make a song that some people would call a "radio hit", for hype and all of that, but most of time I feel better when I write what's really on my mind and in my heart.
Could you describe your creative processes? How do start, and go about shaping ideas into a completed song?
Emmy'Anna: Honestly from the moment I hear a beat I can hear my flow in my head and how I want to sound on it. The biggest thing for me is taking what's in my head and putting that on a track
What has been the most difficult thing you've had to endure in your career or life so far, and how did you overcome the event?
Emmy'Anna: I would say finding my voice. Before I was doing songs that wasn't really me and I feel like now I've finally found my voice and now I'm doing the music that I really want to do
What would you consider a successful, proud or significant point in your career so far?
Emmy'Anna: I think it would just be the day I realized I actually have real fans out there who actually like and listen to my music that was a very significant time for me because before I was just uploading stuff and it wouldn't get many plays or feedback and now I upload something people are waiting for it and they give me feedback.
What is the best piece of advice regarding the music business that you actually followed so far, and what is the advice you didn't follow, but now know for sure that you should have?
Emmy'Anna: Best piece of advice ever is to stay true to yourself. Do the music that makes you feel good in your soul.
How do you handle criticism, haters and/or naysayers in general? Is it something you pay attention to, or simply ignore?
Emmy'Anna: I can be very sensitive but each day I'm learning to grow a thicker skin. I handle haters by ignoring and blocking them.
Which aspects of being an independent artist excites you most and which aspects discourages you most?
Emmy'Anna: It excites me that right now I'm able to do what I like to do. The thing that discourages me about being independent is that constant need to want to be signed. Because I feel like being signed just helps make you more mainstream.
What is your relationship with visual media? Do you think videos are important for your music, and do have a specific video clip you would like to recommend that fans watch to find out more about your craft?
Emmy'Anna: I do think videos are important and I do think it's good for people to actually see you and see who they're listening too and that's something that I'm working on more of this year for my fans.
In general, do you consider music and social media platforms as fundamental in building a career in music today, and what is your personal relationship with the new technology at hand?
Emmy'Anna: I think it's an important aspect in today's time. Personally I love using Instagram and snap chat and twitter. It's just easier to get my music out there instantly.
For most artists, originality is first preceded by a phase of learning and, often, emulating others. What was this like for you? How would you describe your own development as an artist and music maker, and the transition towards your own style?
Emmy'Anna: lol well that's the thing I was talking about earlier about finding your own style. Like I said Nicki Minaj was an inspiration to me so you know at one point I would try to sound like her on tracks and then idk it was a process but like I said now I feel like I'm more true to myself and now I don't feel I sound anything like her or anyone else but like Emmy.
Creative work in studio environment, or interaction with a live audience? Which of these two do you ultimately prefer and why?
Emmy'Anna: Studio for sure. I'm kind of an introvert so definitely gonna choose studio environment cause I can be in my zone and it just me so I feel like I'm in my safe place.
Do you have a personal favorite track in your catalog that has a specific backstory and/or message and meaning very dear to you?
Emmy'Anna: Right now my personal favorite song is "Through some shit" and the backstory behind that song really stems from a joke. I actually wrote the entire song while I was on the phone with this guy I was talking to at the time and he just was kinda talking about how he had to go through some shit and I think I made a joke and said I had to hoe through some shit or something like that and then I wrote that song lol. I was really feeling this guy around that time so the song is based off of feelings that I had at that time.
What do you find most rewarding about what you do?
Emmy'Anna: The fact that there are endless possibilities.
Do you have a specific vision or goal that you would like to achieve in 2020?
Emmy'Anna: It's a big goal but I do want more exposure this year of course and I would like to be signed eventually.

The Warp Zones in classic "Super Mario Bros."games let players skip straight to the end of the game.
"Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" is so hard to beat that it's sparked weeks of debate over whether the game should have an easy mode.
Some of the game's most passionate fans believe that using cheats or adding an easy mode to "Sekiro" would undermine the experience.
Less serious gamers have turned an intense response in the "Sekiro" difficulty debate into a running joke about using cheats to beat classic video games.
A debate about using cheats to win in video games has become a running joke, thanks to a passionate fan of the recently released "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice."
Fans and critics have spent weeks arguing over whether or not "Sekiro" needs an easy mode. The game is considered incredible difficult by modern standards — while highly skilled players can finish "Sekiro" in two hours or less, most people will take 25 hours or more to complete the full game.
On April 5th, James Davenport of PC Gamer wrote that he used a fan-made PC program to beat "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" using cheats, and offered a spoiler-filled review of his experiences with the game. Davenport said he didn't feel like using cheats cheapened his experience of the game. He encouraged other players to approach "Sekiro" however they wanted to, even if it meant cheating.
The ninja action game "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" has sparked a conversation about difficulty in games.
"Feeling good about what I play and why I play it is ultimately up to me," Davenport wrote.
It didn't take long for gamers to recognize the irony in taking a video game so seriously. It's an undeniable reality that cheats have been a part video games for as long as the hobby has existed. Many classic games included cheat codes that would make players completely invincible or let them skip to the end of the game. Cheats or no, players still enjoy them today.
The tweet from @Fetusberry quickly became meme fodder as gamers recalled all the times they've cheated in past video games without feeling bad about it at all.
The warp zones in "Super Mario Bros." let you skip to the last world in the game.
The legendary Konami code works for dozens of games, giving players perks like extra lives or invincibility.
Missingno was an infamous glitch that let Pokémon players duplicate items an infinite number of times.
The "Grand Theft Auto" series has constantly included cheats to help players break the law, and the laws of physics.
Is making clever use of your items in "Mario Kart" still considered cheating?
"Super Mario 64" gives players the option to use a literal cannon to cheat in a foot race against a turtle.
No matter how you choose to play "Sekiro" or anything else, remember that games are supposed to be fun.
While the difficulty of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" is clearly important to the game's biggest fans, it's probably more important that the people who choose to play "Sekiro" are having fun. Some players will certainly be ready to rise to the challenge, but there's nothing to be gained from shaming players who want to use cheats on their own terms to make the game less demanding, and ultimately more fun for them to play.
There's certainly no honorable or "right" way to play the game, and playing on your own with cheats isn't worthy of shame either.


What's the weather like in Barbados in April?
Just to the north of the equator, Barbados has a tropical climate with high temperatures all year round. If you're going in April you can expect lots of hot and sunny weather as it's one of the driest months of the year. The dry season runs from December to late May, and if it does rain it's not usually for long. Atlantic winds will take the edge off the heat. Barbados is relatively flat so there's not much difference in weather around the island, although the south and west Caribbean coasts are usually a bit calmer than the north and east Atlantic coasts.
The average high in capital Bridgetown is 30ºC in April, which only drops to 22ºC at night. With these lovely temperatures you don't need to worry about bringing many warm clothes with you, just a selection of swimwear, shorts and t-shirts. At 27ºC, the sea's perfect for swimming, while humidity's high. There's 45mm of rain over seven days, and you can expect 12 hours of daylight with nine hours of sunshine each day. Bring plenty of sun cream as UV levels will be extremely high. Sunset's just after 6pm.

Q: Is it possible to rebase-squash only certain commits on a feature branch I've created a feature branch, and while I've been working on it, I've been merging from the master branch work from other people.
Now my feature branch is complete and I'd like to rebase all my changes into a clean single commit, however, my commits are not all sequential as I've merged commits from the master branch during that time.
Is it possible to somehow ignore their commits as I'm changing my commits from 'pick' to 'squash'.
I tried deleting them from the list but they still were squashed or merged and I don't know if I should submit my pull request like this as it might have squashed other people's work giving me the credit.

A: One possibility is reset --soft:
git checkout yourbranch
git merge origin/master # make sure all changes of master are included
git reset --soft origin/master
git commit -m 'Your squashed commit message comes here'

This will create a single new commit on master containing your latest snapshot, containing all changes from your branch and from master. The difference against master will be only your changes.

The LG V30 is T-Mobile's most important phone in years
Image source: Jacob Siegal/BGR
By Chris Mills @chrisfmills
August 31st, 2017 at 1:31 PM
Very early this morning, a bunch of LG execs standing in Barcelona unveiled the LG V30 to the world's assembled press (or those who were awake, at least). On paper and in person, it has potential to be the best Android phone launched this year, and it's certainly going to go toe-to-toe with Samsung's new Galaxy Note 8 for the heavyweight phablet belt.
But forget all the who-has-the-biggest-camera-lens braggarding for a second, because the LG V30 has one feature that no phone ever launched before does: compatibility with T-Mobile's new 600MHz network.
TODAY'S AMAZON DEALS: America's running out of N95 masks – so people are getting these instead for $2
The network has confirmed that the LG V30's Qualcomm X16 modem is compatible with LTE Band 71, which is a complicated way of saying that the phone works on T-Mobile's new 600MHz network.
What is T-Mobile's new network, and why should you care? Simple: earlier this year, T-Mobile spent $8 billion on spectrum licenses for the 600MHz band covering the entire country. 600MHz is low-band spectrum, which means it's particularly good for coverage in rural areas and inside buildings.
Historically, a big part of the advantage in coverage enjoyed by Verizon and AT&T has been down to its low-band spectrum. Verizon in particular is famous for having great coverage in the middle of nowhere, and a good part of that is down to its low-band signal travelling further than T-Mobile's mid-band signal.
T-Mobile is working hard (and spending serious money!) to nullify that advantage. It plans to have a million square miles of the country covered by its new 600MHz LTE network by the end of the year, and the first two locations (in Wymoing and Maine) are already up and running.
That brings us back to the LG V30, and why it should be at the top of the wish list for every T-Mobile customer today. In order to take advantage of this brand-new network, T-Mobile customers will need a band 71-compatible device, and right now, that means the LG V30.
More devices are definitely coming. T-Mobile CTO Neville Ray has told BGR that a B71-compatible Samsung device will launch by the end of the year, and I'd also be surprised if the iPhone 8 comes without support for band 71.
But today is a real milestone for T-Mobile. Its 600MHz network is online, and anyone who a) lives in Wyoming or Maine, and b) wants a brand-new Android phone can start enjoying the network right now.

As our current trimester draws to a close, we are proud to announce that seven students have proved to the Eagle Rock community that they deserve to be up on our Human Performance Center stage — in front of their peers, families, instructors and staff — in order to receive their high school diplomas.
Marking the 72nd trimester since our founding back in the early 1990s, our latest trimester graduation ceremony begins at 4 p.m. Mountain Time this Friday and will be broadcast live on Facebook. If you want to watch this momentous event, visit the following Facebook Page starting at around 3:55pm MT Friday — https://www.facebook.com/EagleRockSchool — and look for the post containing the live video.
Below is a short biography about each of the seven graduates, along with info on what they did while at Eagle Rock, their short and long-term goals, along with advice for current and incoming Eagle Rock School students.

Summer Institute Helps Educators and Students Grow Equity Together
Editor's Note: Courtney Coleman of Harlem, N.Y., arrived at Eagle Rock in May of 2015 as a member of ER66 (the 66th trimester since our founding in the early-1990s). This blog post describes Courtney's exposure to, and experience with, Eagle Rock's Growing Equity Together Project, where our young author discovered the difference between Equity and Equality and helped to coordinate and facilitate Eagle Rock's Summer Institute for educators seeking to improve equity at their schools.
By Courtney Coleman
The first seeds of the Growing Equity Together Project were planted in 1994, when Sarah Bertucci, Eagle Rock's professional development associate, was an intern during Eagle Rock's first summer in existence.
Eagle Rock is known for its positive influence on people. Sarah was one of the early staff members who were changed forever by getting to know Eagle Rock students and seeing them thrive in our innovative learning environment.
Her summer internship was Sarah's first experience working in a non-traditional high school. As she adjusted her lessons and provided individualized support to meet students' needs, she experienced what equity entailed, even though she didn't yet call it by that name. This was also her first exposure to deeper learning — an approach to learning that focuses on knowing a smaller set of topics in depth while developing lifelong learning skills, rather than covering vast amounts of information at a surface level. Sarah says Eagle Rock internship is what inspired her to become a teacher.

The Growing Equity Together Project was inspired by Sarah's Deeper Learning and Equity fellowship. Part of the fellowship included a capstone project, so Sarah designed a project with three parts: Continue reading…
Professional Development Center adds 'Student Ambassadors'
For the past two years, Eagle Rock School & Professional Development Center team members have been developing a student-centered program to engage students in Eagle Rock's Professional Development Center.
After swiftly exiting its brainchild stages, the program has given students myriad opportunities to connect with the Professional Development Center (PDC) like never before. The PDC Ambassador Program encourages Eagle Rock School students to participate alongside our PDC staff in furthering Eagle Rock's national mission of re-engaging high school youth.
The students, known as 'Student Ambassadors,' receive extensive training and experience to effectively contribute to the Professional Development Center's works, gaining professional skills and real-world experience in order to meet the needs of clients. And for students who participate in the program, they have opportunities to host visiting educators, the exciting possibility of travel to partnering sites and conferences, and more.
Taking a step back for a moment, in order for a student to become a student ambassador, they must complete at least two trainings and two activities (from the list of offerings below) that reflect skills and practices PDC team members utilize in their work nationally on almost a daily basis: Continue reading…
Follow the Yellow Brick Road to Eagle Rock's Take on 'The Wiz'
Eagle Rock School students and faculty members are busy rehearsing for a series of performances of the Tony Award-winning 1975 musical, "The Wiz," which are scheduled in Estes Park at month's end.
Our production of "The Wiz" (March 31-April 2, 2016) is an urban retelling of L. Frank Baum's 1900 tale, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," using Motown, Funk and Soul music to rework the story into the context of modern African-American culture. A film adaption of the show was released in 1978, starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson.
Eleven talented Eagle Rock students and four staff members will perform in our staged version, backed by a live four-piece professional pit band. Meghan Tokunaga-Scanlon, Eagle Rock School's Music Instructional Specialist, directs the show, with co-direction by World Languages Instructional Specialist Brighid Scanlon and musical direction by 2015/2016 Public Allies Teaching Fellow Michael Grant.
Performances will be staged beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 31 as well as Friday and Saturday, April 1 and 2 at the Hempel Auditorium within the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. Admission at the door is "pay what you like" and all proceeds benefit the Eagle Rock Graduate Higher Education Fund.
But we digress. The story of Dorothy and her road trip to Oz has become known worldwide for its themes of home, belonging, belief in oneself and freedom. "The Wiz," with its original premiere in 1975 with an all-black cast and African-American styles, boldly showed that this classic story belongs to everyone, with audiences of all races flocking to watch productions of "The Wiz" over the past four decades. In addition to be culturally empowering, it is a "joy machine," gorgeously designed, with quick humor and irresistible melodies.
Preparations for our production began last fall with a Continue reading…

Microsoft's new tablet casts ominous shadow over Surface Pro 4
Chris Davies - Jun 29, 2015, 11:13 am CDT
Microsoft has quietly slipped a new Surface Pro 3 configuration into its line-up, amid speculation that the Surface Pro 4 will never see the light of day. While you might expect the new model to lower the cost-of-entry to the Windows tablet with its detachable keyboard and pen input, in fact it slots neatly into the midst of the existing range, with a Core i7 processor like the flagship Surface Pro 3 versions, but with a compromise on storage.
$1,299 gets you a Core i7 processor, 8 GB of memory, and 128 GB of solid-state storage. That puts it at the same price as the existing Core i5 model, which also has 8 GB of memory but double the storage, while undercutting the $1,549, Core i7 Surface Pro 3 with 8GB of memory and 256 GB of storage.
Microsoft's thinking on the discrete range expansion isn't known, though there are a few possibilities. Perhaps the most likely is that potential customers blanched at the $1,549 price of a Core i7 model, and were willing to compromise on capacity just as long as they still got the fastest processor Microsoft offered.
However, other theories suggest Microsoft could be updating the processor to something newer from Intel's range, giving the Surface Pro 3 a mid-life-cycle refresh of sorts.
That idea, put forward by long-time Windows watcher Paul Thurrott, also ties into concerns that the Surface Pro range as a whole may be facing an uncertain future. Comments last week by Satya Nadella, Microsoft's chief executive, that "tough choices" must be made if the company is to continue on an even keel have thrown projects like Surface, Lumia, and more into doubt.
Combined with the fact that Thurrott's traditionally-vocal rumor pipeline has been conspicuously quiet about the Surface Pro 4 project, and it's perhaps no surprise that there are some who don't believe the new tablet will ever see the light of day.
Of course, it may well not be entirely bad news. Given the sales of the Surface Pro 3, which have eclipsed both generations of its predecessors, Microsoft might be taking a more cautious approach.
Upgrading the hardware inside, while keeping the exterior the same, has worked for Apple and the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air for several iterations, and there's arguably no good reason for Microsoft to completely revamp the tablet if a good proportion of the package is still working fine.
In fact the biggest issues are around the processor, and Intel has a fix for that in the pipeline. Skylake, its sixth-gen Core CPU series, is due later in 2015, promising more power but reduced energy consumption.

Nine fire stations to be established in Enugu: Official
A fire service chief said the government's plan was to have a functional fire station in the 17 local government areas.
News Agency of Nigeria • January 2, 2022
Governor Ugwuanyi and Fire Service officers
The Enugu State Government plans to establish new fire stations in nine council areas without fire stations in the state in the year 2022, a fire service official said.
Okwudili Ohaa, the Enugu State Chief Fire Safety Officer, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday that the government's plan was to have a functional fire station in the 17 local government areas.
He said that the new fire stations had been captured and appropriated for in the state's 2022 budget.
"So far, we have eight functional fire stations in eight council areas out of the 17 council areas in the state.
"They are situated in Enugu North, Enugu South, Nkanu West, Udi, Oji River, Igboeze North, Udenu and Nsukka council areas.
"Hopefully, the fire stations for the remaining nine council areas will come on stream this year and they will have mini-staff quarters for the fire officers as well as new fire engines and tankers," Mr Ohaa said.
The fire service chief disclosed that apart from the over 10 fire stations and units built by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, he had facilitated installation of fire extinguishers in public/government buildings, schools and markets in the state.
"The governor has so much supported fire safety, other forms of safety and secured environment in the state; thus, making the state the safest in the country.
"With the growing network of fire stations scattered in the state and recent deployment of mobile fire units as well, we have drastically reduced our fire response time to about five minutes after receiving distress calls," he said.

GRAY MATTERAtoms and Eves
Before lava lamps and laser light, all you needed for romance was some radioactivity
By Theodore Gray | Published May 17, 2007 10:00 AM

** Watch Radiation up close
****Cost:** $30
Safe | | | | |
You can pick up a spinthariscope for $30 from unitednuclear.com. Or make your own with a zinc sulfide screen ($10 on eBay) and commonly available radioactive items.
Hold an antistatic brush behind the screen [left]. It sends out alpha radiation strong enough to produce a visible glow.
Look at vintage orange Fiestaware plates in a totally dark room with a magnifying glass to see flashes one at a time.
In 1903 there was nothing to watch on TV because there was no TV, and meeting girls was no easier than it is today. But one device solved both problems . . . sort of.
The Crookes spinthariscope, invented that year, is a small tube with a lens at one end and a zinc sulfide screen at the other. Just above the screen is a tiny speck of radium mounted on a needle. If you look into one, you'll witness a seething, swirling light show of individual atoms going out in a blaze of glory (more entertaining than most things on TV today, I'd say). Each decaying radium atom sends out a high-energy alpha particle, which slams into zinc sulfide crystals. This triggers a process that eventually releases photons, creating visible flashes.
These atoms are so small, it would take the energy from four trillion of them to raise the temperature of a teaspoon of water by one degree. The fact that you can see the flash from a single atom decaying is nothing short of amazing. Your eyes must be totally dark-adapted, which means sitting in a pitch-black room for at least 10 minutes. If you were a dashing young man of science in 1903 and you brought one of these scopes to a dinner party, you would have been rude not to invite the ladies to sit next to you in a dark room. This might account for some of the early popularity of the device.
In 1947 you could get a Lone Ranger Atomic Bomb spinthariscope ring for 15 cents and a Kix cereal box top; the same toy recently cost me $200 on eBay. But modern spinthariscopes (made with safe radioactive ores) are available, and they really do work-provided, of course, that you sit in a dark room for 10 minutes first. Do with that opportunity what you will.

Senate expresses concerns over poor metering by NERC
The Senate Committee on Power has expressed concerns over its perceived abysmal performance of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission on its Mass Metering Project in the country despite N33.4bn already released by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The Senate Committee stated this at an interactive session with the NERC on Thursday.
Officials and representatives of the various Electricity Distribution Companies also attended the forum at the Senate.
The NERC Chairman, Sanusi Garba, said the Commission only recorded 13 per cent implementation as of 19th of March 19 2021
He said the project is expected to provide one million meters to houses across the country between October 2020 and April 2021.
Garba said, "While 403,000 out of the targeted one million meters have been delivered to the various DISCOs, only 127,000 have been installed, representing 13 per cent performance".
He, however, attributed the poor performance to delay in disbursement of fund, the chunk of which he said was made available to the DISCOs in February this year.
He said, "Target performance duration for the project which is phase one, entails metering of one million houses across the country in reducing the metering deficit of 6.5 million, is six months, that is from October 2020 to April 2021.
"Though out of the N59.2bn earmarked for it, N33.4bn has been released to the various DISCOs by the Central Bank of Nigeria but disbursement of the releases were very slow which resulted in many of them, accessing the fund in February.
"This largely contributed to the poor performance percentage by the DISCOs for now, on the National Mass Metering project.
"But with chunk of the funds available to the DISCOs now, the implementation performance index will rise astronomically within the next few weeks," he said.
Obviously not impressed by the NERC Chairman's performance report, the committee of the Senate panel, Senator Gabriel Suswam chided the Commission and the DISCOs for poor performance.
Suswam said based on the poor performance recorded so far, essence of intervention made by the federal government with the N59.2bn loan may not be achieved.
He said, "Your performance report on the mass Metering project is not impressive and encouraging at all.
"Nigerians are not happy that all efforts being made by the federal government to get electricity consumption metered are being thwarted in one way or the other.
"Estimated billings is not acceptable and that is the reason why the intervention was made.
"In the light of this, this Committee will want your Commission and the DISCOs to appear before it again by the end of next month, to see whether the assurance given on better performance will be done or not," he said.
However, the NERC Chairman assured the Committee of better performance in the coming weeks.
He said, "All comments made are well noted and will gear us for increase performance."
