The other show I attended was Carole Baillargeon in Diagonale's own gallery on rue de Gaspé. It was absolutely awe-inspiring. It was giant strangely-shaped sculptures hanging, on wall, on the ground, made from corks sewn together. She even made cork dresses and did a photographic and video installation based on trying to swim while wearing these clothes. I was impressed.

Monique Beauregard's exhibition in a local library contained a stunning study of colour and texture in her larger pieces.
Her smaller embroidered artworks demonstrated simple yet striking needlework.

Another artist did research on the wife of an historical figure, Lady Simcoe, who appeared to have painted very bad landscapes. The artist paints in the style of this woman and gives the canvasses away when she is finished.
A darkened room held an old wooden armchair of the type contained in an old fashioned office. It has a sliding metal thing in the arm that is hard to resist touching to see if it does anything. When one slides it forward, one is bombarded by sounds of a city street: such a contrast to the almost sensory deprivation of silence in the dark.
The housing market is a strange area to explore in art. Artist Gilbert Boyer, who often applies text in unique ways, this time used photos to mirror the housing market, its supply and demand. Viewers were invited to buy photographs –the first few at a reasonable price – but as supply dwindles, prices rise. That was my take on it anyway although I'm useless at finance. I was going to buy a photo but I missed out on the cheap ones and bought a catalogue instead.

Often the documentation and concepts behind certain pieces of artwork are more interesting than the exhibition itself. This was certainly the case at the show at Espace Mobile on lower Boulevard St. Laurent, curated by Vox, who brought us the Month of Photography Festival. There was a whole loft where one could examine documentation about the artists and the ideas behind their work. There was a computer you could consult for background material and books, sketches and other creations that could be handled and explored at leisure. I spent hours there.
The exhibition itself was also interesting but it is the ideas behind it that makes it so strong. One of my favourites was by a Belgian Christoph Fink who systematically documented poetic walks he did in various parts of the world. He created his own maps and jotted down his impressions at the time. It could be something overheard, the weather, something he saw. Below is a porcelain piece based on one of his walks.

As you know Montreal is now primarily French. The organization Elan was formed to help English-language artists be better integrated in the Quebec arts milieu. It works to build bridges between artistic disciplines and also between English-speaking and French-speaking communities.
Exchanging information can be of enormous benefit in and of itself. One artistic discipline may pioneer an idea or open doors that can benefit other disciplines. This kind of dialogue can be facilitated by regular public events and an on-going electronic bulletin board. Concrete examples of exchanged resources are co-productions and shared mailing lists. Shared community resources can range from accountants and web designers to publicists and rehearsal spaces. The multidisciplinary nature of ELAN opens up many possible creative connections between artists e,g, musicians who provide music for theatre productions and visual artists who design book covers or posters.
ELAN brings together English-speaking artists from literature/publishing, theatre, film/television, music, dance and the visual arts. It facilitates communication between disciplines and promotes a new face of English-speaking artists in Quebec.

Dare-Dare believes that it is better to act than to talk. However, it also holds a series of round table discussions on public art, performance art and community art and the relations between them.
Dare-Dare receives funding from the borough (ward), the City of Montreal, The province of Quebec, Canada Arts council and through fundraising activities of its own. It receives on average 140 submissions a year. It puts on 5-6 exhibitions or projects a year. The artist gets a fee, technical support and money for materials. It holds two events per year and organizes two series of conferences.
Interested in Artist Run Centres in Canada?
Although successful in community terms, the oven project was closed down by the authorities saying it was a danger to the area. "A pity, it made the best bread," said Jean-Pierre.

DARE-DARE describes itself as a flexible, open space devoted to research, experimentation, risk and critical inquiry, advocating exploration and diversity in the ways of presentation. Its members interested in the context of creation and answer the need of exchange and collaboration.
I met with the Artistic Coordinator, Jean Pierre Cassie who tells me that his ancestor came from Ireland to Nova Scotia in the 15-hundreds when just 15 as a prisoner of the British Crown. Inter-marrying with the Catholic Acadians, the name got changed from Casey to Cassie. He agrees that Acadian and Quebec traditional music have Irish roots.
Jean Pierre was very enthusiastic about the projects that Dare-Dare has initiated although he admits that getting permits can sometimes be a nightmare. On a walking tour of the local area, he pointed out remnants of past projects (since they are always temporary).
Some of the most recent ventures include a photo exhibition in several different ethnic restaurants with an invitation to eat (at your own expense), urban furniture in which a portable bench makes its way around the community to serve as a meeting, resting, hanging out place and an installation where the artist spends time on the streets: dream listener: (perhaps in a similar way as a homeless person) and asks people to tell her their dreams. She then writes a sign with some aspect of the dream and hangs it in a public place. A winter project was by two artists from the Yukon in Canada's far north that made designs of snow with their shovels.

There are many artist-run centres in Montreal. An innovative organisation I investigated this time, Dare-Dare, was formed to promote public art. Since the 1985 Dare-Dare has been transforming arts spaces, working with the community in various public spaces and coming up with fun concepts.
Its office is in a trailer on a bit of wasteland near the centre of the city.

And this month I did a workshop in sewing on Japanese paper, which I found fascinating. Learning about the different kinds of paper alone was wonderful – feeling the different textures, looking to see how light goes through and thinking of all the different ways to use it. I found the different samples of work the instructor showed us very delicate yet powerful. We tried different techniques on a variety of paper and came away with some lovely pieces.

Home / News / Government approves Heathrow airport expansion
Government approves Heathrow airport expansion
The government has approved the expansion of Heathrow airport, to include a third runway, in order to expand the UK's airport capacity.
The news follows a study conducted by Sir Howard Davies, published in 2015, which recommended building a third runway at Heathrow, a new runway at Gatwick or extending one of Heathrow's existing runways.
Commenting on the announcement, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said: "A new runway at Heathrow will improve connectivity in the UK itself and crucially boost our connections with the rest of the world, supporting exports, trade and job opportunities. This isn't just a great deal for business, it's a great deal for passengers who will also benefit from access to more airlines, destinations and flights.
"This is an important issue for the whole country. That is why the government's preferred scheme will be subject to full and fair public consultation. Of course it is also hugely important for those living near the airport. That is why we have made clear that expansion will only be allowed to proceed on the basis of a world class package of compensation and mitigation worth up to £2.6 billion, including community support, insulation, and respite from noise – balancing the benefits and the impacts of expansion."
The decision over whether airport capacity should be expanded in the South East of England has been one of controversy, with many critics warning of increased air and noise pollution.
A public consultation is now set to be held on the effects of airport expansion before the government makes a final decision as part of a national policy statement on aviation.
MPs will then vote on that decision in the winter of 2017-18, although it is unlikely that the new runway will be operational before 2025.

Rotem Amfert phosphates concession seen being extended
6 Dec, 2021 12:25
Guy Lieberman
A NIS 23.6 million payment on account of underpaid royalties paves the way for the Knesset Finance Committee to grant a further three-year concession.
Sources inform "Globes" that Rotem Amfert, of the ICL group (formerly Israel Chemicals), has paid the state NIS 23.6 million on account of royalty differences. The payment paves the way for the approval that the Knesset finance Committee is due to award the company for continuing to mine phosphates on the Rotem Plain in the Negev for a further three years. The extension of the concession was made without a tender.
The company, which directly employs 1,600 people, has been mining phosphates for decades, but in the past few months there has been a question mark over its continued activity, as its concession expires at the end of this year.
In the past, the company said that the amount of minerals left in the area was small, and that mining could therefore not continue beyond the three additional years for which it requested an extension to the concession. This was also the main reason that former minister of energy Yuval Steinitz was inclined to recommend extending the concession for this period without a tender. The process, which was approved by the Government Companies Authority, also requires approval by the Knesset Finance Committee, but the break-up of the previous government halted the process, which was supposed to have been almost automatic.
Last August, Minister of National Infrastructures, Energy and Water Resources Karine Elharrar was informed that the Accountant General's department in the Ministry of Finance had begun a non-routine check on royalties paid by the company. The check led to the minister suspending submission of the recommendation to extend the concession. The upshot is no application to the Knesset Finance Committee for an extension, or, in other words, ending the company's activity.
Because a large employer was involved, the Histadrut (General Federation of Labor in Israel) approached the minister and asked for the process to be expedited. "Within less than four months, without an extension for a further three years, as planned and approved by your predecessor, the plant will be closed and thousands of workers and their families will be left without a livelihood," Histadrut chairperson Arnon Bar-David wrote. "The Histadrut, and I at the head of it, can no longer refrain from intervening for the protection and welfare of thousands of workers." "Globes'" enquiries have found that the minister met Bar-David on the matter recently.
Despite the hundreds of millions of shekels in revenue derived by ICL from phosphates, the royalties collected by the state from Rotem Amfert on phosphates amounted to NIS 8.6 million in 2020 and NIS 10.3 million in 2019. A source familiar with the details said that the reason for this was that most of the revenue in this sector came from the company's activity overseas.
Over the years the company benefitted from a somewhat low royalty rate, which led to it being raised from of 2% per mined tonne to 5% a few years ago. These numbers lay behind the Accountant General's decision to check past payments to the state by the company.
Once the Accountant General's decision became known to the Ministry of National Infrastructures, Energy and Water Resources, it was decided that it would take the enquiry upon itself, in coordination with the Ministry of Finance. The result was a determination that the company should pay NIS 23.6 million on account of royalties owed for the period 2012-2019. No date has yet been set to convene the Knesset Finance Committee to discuss extending the concession. A Ministry of National Infrastructures, Energy and Water Resources source said that the ministry was carrying out "a number of checks". From "Globes'" enquiries, however, it appears that the settlement reached by the sides paves the way to a recommendation by the minister and to an extension of the concession in the near future.
The Ministry of National Infrastructures, Energy and Water Resources said in response, "The ministry's royalties department recently completed a professional, in-depth audit of royalties paid by Rotem Amfert and demanded an additional payment of NIS 23.6 million, which is 47% more than the amount according to the company's position. The company has already made the additional royalty payment as demanded by the ministry. It arises from collection differences following the Sheshinski 2 law. It should also be made clear that a few years ago the royalty rate on phosphates was raised from 2% to 5%, after the Sheshinski 2 committee and subsequent legislation.

Q: Format SQL Output I need to make my output readable. I have succeeded in doing so, for queries that I write directly.

*

*I need to do the same for queries that involve a cursor, i.e. to be specific, I need the records returned by a cursor to be formatted as well. But I am unable to do.

*I instead explicitly print the column names, and the print the records. Still, the same. Is there any way, I could retrieve the headers as well, and then based on their length, format the received records as well?

A: If I understand you correctly, what you need is Dynamic Parsing and lpad-rpad functions.
With DBMS_SQL package, you can parse a SQL statement dynamically. I threw the code block below at the top of my head so there might be syntax errors, but it should give you the idea.
declare
  ln_cur number;
  ln_colCnt number;
  l_sqlDesc DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB;
begin
  ln_cur := DBMS_SQL.open_cursor;
  DBMS_SQL.parse(ln_cur, 'select * from dual', DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);

  DBMS_SQL.describe_columns(ln_cur, ln_colCnt, l_sqlDesc);
  DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(l_sqlDesc(1).col_name); --First Column Name.

  DBMS_SQL.close_cursor(ln_cur);
end;

You also need to check the lpad-rpad functions if you want to format your output. Try this and see for yourself:
begin
    DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(lpad(20, "Ford"));
    DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(lpad(20, "Prefect"));
end;

Amazing how cheap this head combo is!!!
› Amazing how cheap this head combo is!!!
Yes I know it is Chinese made but if you were just looking for lighter heads I would think that these would be just as good as stock heads. I know you high horsepower guys will bash these I just wonder if spending money on my cast heads would yield the same performance as buying these but these being for the same amount of money or less.
Good luck. Make sure you post pics of the carnage when you drop a valve and grenade your motor. Cheap is never the route to go on an engine.

Just surprised at the cost. I'm most likely going to have the same amount just in my stock 4v heads.
So you would buy engine components from a company called procomp electronics? I would be very skeptical of this. Like 73 Pony said, cheap is not the way to build an engine. I'm sure you will make the right call.
Hey I have just decided to go all thru my motor after finding some questionable things done. Looks like the guy that redid my car used some cheap Chinese crap in the motor. So now I don't trust anything that was done to it.
Anyway don't cheap out on engine components or it will end up costing you more. Good luck with your build!
Never buy anything from ProComp/Speedmaster/Professional Products. About ten years ago they were sued my MSD for copying cloning the 6AL box to the extent that at a quick glance, you almost couldn't tell the difference. Internally, it was a whole different story. Now, there is plenty of "rob and duplicate" R&D that goes on in the performance aftermarket, but ProComp takes it too far. Not only do they copy, but in some cases such as the MSD, they intentionally make it similar enough that you might mistake it for the real deal. They've crapped up their name enough that they bought a company in CA, Speedmaster and now market much of their stuff under that name. They don't do a very good job of hiding who they are and their name is pretty much dirt in the industry. Their R&D is limited to the cost of buying a competitor's product and shipping it to China to be copied. If you compare their intakes to Edelbrock, you can see exactly where they got the patterns. Nobody wins in the "race to the bottom" on pricing, all it does is put good companies out of business and the consumers are left with crap products.
Even if the heads were any good they obviously cut costs someplace. That leaves the rest of the assembly. A broken rocker may not cause much damage, but when the valve springs break and when the valves start coming apart is when bad things happen to your engine.
Did you read through the list of the head components? For head material they say aluminum, no mention of grade of aluminum, or heat treatment. They actually say they use ductile iron valve seats, which is the lowest cost seat, not known for long lasting with unleaded gas. Valve guides, bronze, good ones are manganese bronze, last much longer than plain bronze. Lots of ways to reduce the cost.
There is nothing inherently wrong with the procomp heads other than the rocker studs. There are very few complaints compared to the bazillions of heads they have sold but I wouldn't use them on a high revving high hp engine.
That persons comments are about pro comp rods and the ops question was about the heads and there is no mention of heads in that persons post. Also, there is no info as to the size of the engine or the hp etc and he may have been running nitrous or a supercharger etc. different companies make different strength for different apps. If one has a big cube engine and revs it to 7,000 rpm, pro comp rods are not the best choice, neither are the lowest priced rods that eagle sells etc. It is too often that when a part fails the owner automatically blames the mfg.
His comment below also raises suspicion and many questions, like how can a person have $6,000.00 in what looks like a stock block when it sounds like he built it from Chinese parts?
"$500 FOR RODS GONE. AND OVER $6000 WASTED IN A MOTOR BLOCK"
I did a little reading and it seems you have to use their head and intake gaskets and head studs and they are 18mm plugs.
What's wrong with the studs? They break?
I already have had a bad experience with a dropped valve in my first 351 2v back in the mid 80's. It blew up on cam break in. I think the cam was too big and got spring bind. I wish I could find the specs of that cam. It was an Erson high flow 3. It sounded really good for the 15 minutes that it ran.
I was 16 at the time and trusted a friends brother to install the cam. I was dumb to the whole process back then. Since then I have built two Chevy motors and done a cam swap on a couple more with no problems. I decided back then to figure it out on my own a d not trust in another shade tree mechanic.


Mod wont launch even when i already set the directory, it gives me an error report. The mod thinks the directory is in C:\Users\ ?\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes Relaunch, when its in D:\Games\Company of Heroes - Complete Edition.
No. There isn't, it doesn't scale well though. If you create a new faction it will always be loaded by the game, even if not part of a match. So the more factions you add, the worse the performance gets.

Jinbe's Role in the Straw Hat Crew
Jinbe's role is to keep the Thousand Sunny and whoever is on it safe while everyone who has fights does those fights.
I see a lot of people complaining that Jimbe wouldn't be a good Strawhat because he'll upset the Luffy > Zoro >= Sanji dynamic.
They also seem to like complaining that he doesn't fit in because he's an old guy and will ruin the sense of adventure.
Which he could, but I don't think he'll be used that way. Seems pretty clear that one of the Strawhats' biggest weaknesses as a crew is that their ship is always in danger while they're out exploring. We've seen it time and time again, in Skypea, Water 7 / Enies Lobby, in Thriller Bark with everyone getting captured, Sabaody with Kuma, in Fishman Island with the whole hostage situation and the royal guard, in Dressrosa and them literally having to split up never to meet again for like 300 chapters, the ship and the people on it are always in danger and that's always a plot point.
That's where Jinbe comes in.
He's seen a ton already and doesn't strike me as particularly adventurous. But he's reliable and strong enough to fight a mid-high New World level threat. At the very least enough so that Chopper, Nami, Robin, Franky, Usopp, whoever doesn't actively have a fight this arc, to escape. Plus he's a helmsman, so he can literally keep the ship itself safe. Combine that with him being a fishman who's basically a waterbender, it'll be hard for anyone to harm the ship while he's there. So while everyone who's going to play a role is off doing their things, Jinbe can play base defense.
He might throw off the balance at first, but he won't be having the huge struggling, Haki developing, power increasing fights that everyone else does, and eventually the monster trio will outscale him.

We will be picked up from Colombo Airport and have our first taste of warm Sri Lankan hospitality. Our local guide will welcome us and bring us to Negambo where we will check in to the hotel and have the evening to get settled before we begin our adventures tomorrow.
Today we visit the Negambo-Fish Market in the morning. The Negombo Fish Market is interesting because it takes place right on the beach, fresh from fishing boats. Crowds of fishermen are seen untangling their fishing nets, playing with their kids, and stretching out miles of fish to dry in the sun on Negombo's shore. We'll see long blue sheds on the way to the shore where they store fishing baskets and the lot.
Then we continue our journeys to Anuradhapura and have an Anuradhapura city tour. Anuradhapura was made the first capital of Sri Lanka by King Pandukhabaya in the 4th century BC and it so remained until the 11th century AD (now known as one of the longest serving capitals, famous in ancient and modern times). Anuradhapura is a beautiful picturesque town located along a river bank which is popular for the fascinating ancient ruins and deep rooted Buddhist culture.
There is plenty to see in Anuradhapura from ancient trees like the Sri Maha Bodhi, the oldest tree in the world, to ancient monasteries and ruins of historical importance. Anuradhapura is one of the eight historical heritage sites in Sri Lanka.
We'll visit Sri Maha Bodhiya, Isurumuniya, then carry our journey to Mihintalaya, a mountain peak situated east of Anuradhapura. We will venture for a climb! This area is a pilgrimage site with several religious shrines and abandoned structures, including ruins of a hospital medical bath at the foot of the peak.
The area is fringed by beautiful landscapes: jungle and rock boulders scattered around the mountainous area. There are also many caves which were believed to be used by monks for meditation. Ancient stone architecture is found on several dome shaped monuments, monastic complexes and other sacred places. Overnight stay at Anuradhapura.
After breakfast at the hotel, we'll venture to Sigiriya and visit the Sigiriya Lion Rock in the morning. Sigiriya is situated in the Central Province of Sri Lanka close to Dambulla. It is a fortress complex of a ruined palace and one of the World Heritage sites declared by UNESCO. Undoubtedly the most treasured historical monument in Sri Lanka and probably the most visited tourist destinations in Sri Lanka, the most looked forward to feature of the fortress is the frescoes. Another fascinating detail is its mirror wall. Every step from the entrance to the top is a marvel on its own, and the interesting surroundings makes the tedious climb to the top easy. We'll have an overnight at Sigiriya.
We'll have breakfast at the hotel, then proceed to Polonnaruwa. Polonnaruwa is the main town of Polonnaruwa District in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka. It is the second largest city in this province and famous for its clean and beautiful environment, amazing ancient constructions and most importantly the huge lake 'Parakrama Samudra' built in 1200.
The city has many untouched ancient archeological relic sites and remains one of the best planned archaeological relic sites in the country. UNESCO has declared this ancient city as one of the World Heritage sites.
After this area, we'll continue to Minneriya for an incredible evening safari by Jeep in Minneriya National Park! The park is located in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka, and is a dry-season feeding ground for the elephant population. Sri Lankan leopard and sloth bear, which are rare and endangered species, also inhabit this area. The park was declared as a wildlife sanctuary in order to protect the watershed of Minneriya tank and the wildlife of the surrounding area. The tank is historically important for the country as it was built by King Mahasen in the 3rd century AD. We'll have an overnight stay at Sigiriya.
Today we'll visit Dambulla, which belongs to the North Central Province. The popular cave temple complex in Dambulla (dated to the 2nd century BC) is declared as a world heritage site by UNESCO. There are over 80 caves in Dambulla, some of which are used for meditation by monks.
The Famous Rock temple has five separate caves containing 153 magnificent Buddha statues, 3 statues of Sri Lankan monarchs and 4 Hindu deities.
We'll visit the Iron Wood Forest (Namal Uyana), an ancient garden with a wide variety of plants built in the 10th century, and Rose Quarts Mountain range which is 500 million years old.
Later we will visit spice gardens at Matale and in Mawanella on the Colombo-Kandy road where Cinnamon, Cardamom, Pepper Creepers and many other spices trees and plants can be seen. We'll continue to Kandy, the charming capital of Sri Lanka surrounded by hills, valleys, rivers, lakes and waterfalls. It is the cultural center of the island and a UNESCO heritage city.
While in Kandy, a visit to the Royal Botanical Gardens is a must, where we can see around 4000 species of plants. The arts and crafts center in Kandy, the main Buddhist monasteries Malwatta and Asgiriya Monasteries are all places that can be visited.
In the evening, we'll have a city tour and take in a cultural dance, followed by an overnight stay at Kandy.
Transfer to Airport to connect the departure flight.

Profit-minded banking group Macquarie has tapped the expertise of environmental non-profit Flora and Fauna International in the past to identify endangered rainforests that can generate carbon credits if saved. Now they've formed a partnership to scale up the activity, and they have $25 million to invest.
Building successful carbon projects is difficult. Even if you have the on-the-ground knowledge to navigate the carbon standards and work with community partnerships, you still need the financial backing to begin the project.
A new partnership between the Macquarie Group and Fauna and Flora International (FFI) is trying to address this challenge by launching the BioCarbon Group Pte Limited to identify and fund REDD projects around the world.
"We believe this is a truly unique arrangement," says Brer Adams, an Associate Director of Macquarie. "What makes this very different is this is a global agreement between BioCarbon and FFI. It covers all forest conservation opportunities that might suit commercial investment across FFI's 41 countries."
The two groups have complimentary strengths that provide a strong basis for developing successful projects. FFI brings the on-the-ground experience with a global network of projects and the ability to scope potential sites for commercially viable REDD projects, says Paul Herberston, the Environmental Markets Programme Director of FFI. He says that Macquarie has the ability to raise capital and provide legal support.
"It looked like a really nice combination of two very distinct organizations with very different approaches and outlooks, working together on a program of work that we thought was a real opportunity for moving forward with the investment of conservation in tropical forests," says Herbertson.
Macquarie has recruited two additional investors for BioCarbon: International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Global Forestry Partners.
"One of the things we have grown to appreciate is the need for innovative partnerships which requires financial organizations, organizations with ground capability and proven conservation and community development tools and unique partnerships that up until now have not been well done" in the forest carbon sector, says David Gibson Campbell, a Senior Environment and Social Specialist at IFC.
In total $25 million has been committed to BioCarbon by these three organizations and is now available for projects. These partners are all equal shareholders who will share in the benefits.
Now that the money is there, the for-profit company and NGO partners must bring their vision together to ensure that this financing is used for the best projects.
The Beginning of Something Great
Four years ago, FFI gained some publicity for a carbon sequestration project they had completed through a partnership with Merrill Lynch. The project, which was in the Aceh region of Indonesia, was the first REDD project to be certified under the CCBA standards.
So when Macquarie became interested in exploring opportunities around REDD, they approached FFI. The two signed a three-year agreement just over three years ago.
"It was sort of a cooperative development agreement," says Herbertson. "The idea was that we would work together and play off our strengths…to try and explore different opportunities for investment in REDD projects globally."
The initial focus of this partnership was developing projects in Indonesia, focusing in on specific sites. Though they ran into the challenges of a changing economic and political climate, the two groups continued forward.
"FFI really saw it as an opportunity to build our own internal resources and to get areas of land under conservation management for the long-term and having that financed through innovative mechanism such as REDD," says Herbertson.
Starting in Indonesia
During the three year agreement, a focus has been the Danau Siawan Belida REDD+ project in the Kalimantan region of Indonesia. With its wetland and peat swamp forest, the 46,000 hectare project site performs critical ecosystem services in support of the Kapuas River—a source of food and livelihood for 3.7 million people in the West Kalimantan Province.
The site is under threat from the possibility of an oil palm plantation; indeed, licenses for oil palm have already been distributed for areas bordering the site to the north, south and west. The project team has focused on reducing this threat to the site, by working closely with the impacted communities and the region's government.
Beyond the water regulation services, this project site is biodiversity rich and includes some of the last remaining Indonesian orangutan populations. In addition, there are a number of fish and plant species—some of which cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
The project site is also a source of food and livelihood for the villages in the region. Community wellbeing is central to the project's objectives and the team works closely with community representatives to carry out the project. Community members will be trained to participate in the carbon, biodiversity and even community monitoring.
This project is not complete; it is currently undergoing both the VCS and CCB certification processes. In fact, it continues to be a focus as Macquarie and FFI renew their partnership in the form of BioCarbon.
"Last year, we took the decision to expand our activity in REDD and to raise additional capital with a small number of investors so we could scale up our forest carbon business," says Adams. With this in mind, they formed BioCarbon and asked FFI to be a partner, providing on-the-ground support.
Defining the Goal
Partnerships between for-profit and non-profit enterprises can be tricky because the two groups often have different goals in their work. And Macquarie does not hide its central goal.
"We will only go forward on a project if we are confident that it's sustainable financially. For us, that means it needs to earn a commercial return," says Adams. "That is true across all of our projects."
In the case of BioCarbon, this has meant focusing on forest carbon projects.
"I am confident about the macro-trends in recognizing forest in future carbon and climate change agreements. In the mean time, we are seeing sufficient depth in the voluntary market to support this business," says Adams. "We, as BioCarbon, see market links as the best way to enable sustainable finance for forests. That is certainly what the policy makers say."
"We think this is a very exciting initiative and a very strong demonstration of how markets can invest in conservation of forests and contribute to reduce deforestation," he adds.
IFC sees the same financial opportunity with this partnership. While they have been presented with a number of forest carbon projects, this was the first project they decided to fund. "This was the first that we thought had the right blend of financial upside and some real ground-breaking replication capability," says Gibson Campbell.
This focus on financial return does not overshadow the ability to create forest carbon projects that benefit the environment and the communities that exist in and around the forests. "We do very much try to align the project with the investor. There is no reason why these projects can't have the added value for FFI in terms of conserving areas of really high biodiversity value," says Herbertson.
And if it looks like the project is missing something, the on-the-ground partners are there to ensure changes are made. FFI's long relationship with Macquarie has made this especially possible.
"We are able to be quite transparent and open about the work that we have been doing and communicate our concerns extremely early if we are concerned about certain options," says Herbertson.
And Herbertson sees this as an opportunity to further develop forest carbon projects. "We really see this as an innovative and exciting collaboration that is not without its challenges but the potential for creating projects that are sustainably financed over a long period," he says.
Beyond the commercial viability of projects, the environmental and community benefits are central to BioCarbon's decision to fund the project.
"We are working extremely hard to ensure that those projects are successful and that those projects really do provide and offer the biodiversity and community benefits that are promised. It's a big promise but it's a big opportunity," says Herbertson.
FFI has the ability to follow-through on this promise because of its diverse background.
"FFI operates in 41 countries globally and this gives them the opportunity to come forward and recommend good quality, commercially viable REDD projects and for BioCarbon to invest in those projects," says Adams.
Though FFI is not the only organization with projects funded by BioCarbon, they are the main implementing partner. For FFI, this includes a position on BioCarbon's advisory board as well as FFI staff holding roles on the steering committee with BioCarbon staff.
This type of involvement is to "ensure that we are really making the best value both for BioCarbon as a business and obviously for FFI as a conservation organization wanting to have impact in managing areas of land and protected forests," says Herberston.
BioCarbon does look to a variety of sources for viable projects. In fact, they have a number of projects in development and in the pipeline that are not directly tied to FFI. According to Adams, this expanding portfolio of projects will allow them to increase BioCarbon's work as carbon markets develop.
Continuing to scale up projects is important for investors because it will increase the return. Without replication, according to Gibson Campbell, the cost of certifying a single project is too high. BioCarbon is an opportunity to scale-up, replicate projects and bring the transactions costs down.
With an eye on the financial viability, Macquarie develops and finances projects that take into consideration both the carbon value of the forests and the support of such a conservation project by locals. Macquarie's own projects are developed with support from a team of forest carbon experts as well as FFI's community-engagement expertise.
"FFI has a real strength in community-engagement and livelihood support. We look to them to undertake that community assessment in any project," says Adams.
"The organization is really set up to do that, do it at scale, replicate it, and ensure quality result at the bottom level and some assurances to offtakers that carbon is real," says Gibson Campbell.
This assessment comes in the form of the Free, Prior and Informed Consent model. Community support is a central-focus of FFI in all REDD projects as they have full-time community specialists on each project ensuring that the correct safeguards are in place.
"It is something that is really core to our beliefs in the way that REDD should be implemented," says Herberston. "It is extremely important from our perspective that that engagement is done effectively, transparently and in a way that really benefits those communities and helps them understand the opportunities as well as the risks."
Community support, which could be in the form of local communities, local landowners, concession holders or governments, is essential for projects moving forward. "That helps us to be confident about the risks and helps to minimize risks of the project," says Adams.
"We believe that are strong supported by local communities that live within a forest or adjoining a forest or depend on a forest is very important to the long-term success of any project," he adds.
Considering Standards
Community support and financial viability go hand-in-hand, especially when considering carbon credit verification.
"We need to be confident that in any project, there is a methodology already available or we can develop one that will meet the best standards of the day," says Adams. "For us, that is the verified carbon standard and we also have a commitment to seek Community, Climate Biodiversity standard. We need to be confident that we have a methodology that can get us through both of those standards."
These standards add the additional concern of biodiversity—which is an essential aspect of the FFI project model. "By properly addressing the biodiversity and community safeguards, they are actually incorporating that into their risk analysis," says Herberston. "That is a really fundamental thing they need to get a grip of and understand if they are hoping to have these projects remain profitable in the future."
IFC is in agreement. Though they do not endorse any specific standard, Gibson Campbell thinks that any forest carbon project needs to have a direct impact on biodiversity and local communities. "We are reasonably articulate in looking for an environment and social management system that rolls all the way through that," he says. "I think that is very much part of the business proposition here."
With these standards as the ultimate goal for the developing projects, the partnership seems to have a solid basis. But since it is new, the success of this partnership to achieve these standards remains to be seen.
An Example for Others
The decision to continue BioCarbon's work after the first $25 million has been invested in forest carbon projects will be in the hands of the board. But even beyond that, the partners think that the projects and BioCarbon can serve as a model for others.
According to Gibson Campbell, replication is something IFC looks for in an investment. "What we are interested in is replication, mobility and agility," he says. "That is what we find fascinating about this partnership; they have got a good market focus, they are credible and they have a partnership with a very solid ground capability within the conservation areas."
"I think it's an extremely exciting model that I hope can be a demonstration to other organizations that are thinking about this sort of approach and wondering how they can finance some of the opportunities that are available through this," says Herbertson.

Sherlock Season 2 on beTV!
Recently honoured by the Guinness World Records as the 'Most Portrayed Literary Human Character in Film & TV, Sherlock Holmes, the world's most famous 'consulting detective' has been played by more than 75 actors on screen for over 250 times. Yet, a TV adaptation has still emerged to surprise and it is none other than the groundbreaking and ingenious Sherlock.
A British contemporary update to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's adventures of the great sleuth, Sherlock stars Benedict Cumberbatch (War Horse) as Holmes and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit) as his sidekick, Dr. John Watson and cleverly brings the duo from the 19th century to modern day London, with present day technology and forensic science complementing the amazing detective work. And Sherlock is back for a second breathtaking season on beTV!
Premiering 23 July, airing on Mondays at 10:55pm first and exclusively on beTV, Sherlock Season 2 continues the gripping series based on three of the most famous Sherlock Holmes stories. In the premiering episode, 'A Scandal in Belgravia' – just as the original 'A Scandal in Bohemia' story – Sherlock and John get embroiled in the plans of the dangerous Irene Adler (Lara Pulver, Spooks). The woman who outwits Holmes, Irene is a scheming, seductive dominatrix in possession of compromising photographs of a member of the royal family. Finding himself intellectually tested against this intriguing foe, Sherlock has to choose between head and heart when the case progresses beyond royal embarrassment to a matter of international security.
In the second episode, 'The Hounds of Baskerville', Sherlock and John find themselves in the wilds of Dartmoor where traumatized Henry Knight, played by Russell Tovey (Being Human), comes to them in horror of finding fresh monstrous footprints where he witnessed his father die many years ago at the jaws of a terrifying and huge hound. The duo navigate the depths of the mysterious Baskerville Research Facility, contend with locals with secrets to hide, and even test their own friendship to discover if there is a monster lurking...
And in the final episode, 'The Reichenbach Fall' based on 'The Final Problem', Sherlock and John are already heroes in the eyes of the British public for solving a string of tough cases. But their nemesis James Moriarty (Andrew Scott, Lennon Naked) returns to pull off the crime of the century by breaking simultaneously into The Tower of London, The Bank of England and Pentonville Prison. Taking nothing, Moriarty's seeks to destroy Sherlock's reputation in everyone's eyes. Sherlock must face Moriarty's final problem alone, but how can he beat an insane rival when the only clear solution is his own death? Indeed, the concluding episode of Sherlock Season 2 promises a cliffhanger ending of epic proportions that has already gotten fans on both shores of the Atlantic buzzing with fevered speculation.
Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss of Doctor Who fame, Sherlock has been a ratings hit in the UK drawing some 8 million viewers per episode through both series, representing a considerable 30 per cent of the audience share in Britain. The show has also won universal acclaim from critics, including lavish praise from American daily 'USA Today' calling it, "TV pleasure at its most intense, without even a shade of guilt." Indeed, the debut season of Sherlock won the 'Best Drama Series' honour, while Martin Freeman and Andrew Scott won 'Best Supporting Actor' at the 2011 and 2012 BAFTA Awards respectively, the British equivalent of the Emmy Awards.
Indeed, the first season of Sherlock proved so popular that the volume fan enquiries drove British garment manufacturer Belstaff to put back into production its discontinued, US$2,150 coat that Sherlock was dressed in. Even Speedy's, the sandwich bar below the London apartment filmed as Holmes and Watson's iconic 221B Baker Street residence in Sherlock reported a sharp hike in customers including tourists from Asia who recognize it from the show. The series even rejuvenated interest in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes books, with publishers enjoying a 180 per cent increase in sales during the broadcast of the first season. The popularity of Sherlock also assured that seasons 2 and 3 were both commissioned at the end of season 1.

Thank you to Global TV BC for the clip.
Saturday Anneliese and I did a cooking segment on the Noon News.
You two were wonderful! Congratulations!
Wow, you girls did great! Lovella, it looks like you are feeling more comfortable with each t.v. appearance. You both seem so at ease. It is so exciting that I know you and you are getting famous.
I just watched the clip now too and Flo, I think I heard the "rog Loll" too. Too funny.
Blessings to all of you for the work involved in MGCC and the impact you are having by donating all the proceeds to the orphanage. Such a worthy cause inspired by God.
I made this dessert for my son's and dil wedding rehearsal party. It was a hit!
John now wants to know if I will make him a Christmas log. He watched quite a bit of this with me and he admired the way you used the tools of your trade so handily. He said, "You can always tell when someone knows what she's doing. They have a knack and it's very obvious."

Q: How to exclude current item from related item search I have a post view where I want to display related posts but what I have now includes the current post as well.
How would I go about removing the current item from the search?
I don't know how to use where.not() or != in this situation or if they're even the best thing to use.
This is what I have in my post show view:
<% @related[@post.blog_category_id]&.each do |rel| %>
  <a href="/posts/<%= rel.friendly_id %>" class="img-cont">
    <%= image_tag("Index/#{rel.thumbnail_link}", :alt => "#{rel.title}", class: "soundtrack-img top-drop") %>

<%= rel.title %>

<% end %>

And in my posts_controller show method:
@related = Post.friendly.all.group_by(&:blog_category_id)

A: @related already includes all posts, you need to remove the current post from the list or skip it in the iteration:
Exclude the current one before iterating
<% @related[@post.blog_category_id].reject { |post| post == @post }&.each do |rel| %>

or just skip the iteration if the current one is the post in question:
<% @related[@post.blog_category_id]&.each do |rel| %>
  <% next if rel == @post %>

A: Try using .offset(1). Something like:

NEW YORK (October 2, 2015) – Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) announced today the honorees for the 9th Annual IAVA Heroes Gala, held on the day after Veteran's Day, November 12, 2015 at New York City's Cipriani 42nd Street. MSNBC "Morning Joe" co-anchor and "Today Show" host, Willie Geist, will return to host the gala honoring Scott Wine, Daniel Rodriguez, and our country's newest generation of veterans and their supporters. Special guest Stephen Colbert, "The Late Show" host and IAVA Heroes Gala 2011 honoree will provide remarks and be in attendance along with American hero J.R. Martinez, "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro, Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Bob McDonald and other honored guests.
Army veteran Daniel Rodriguez will receive this year's Veteran Leadership Award, granted each year to a veteran who has demonstrated immense courage and leadership within the veteran's community. The former Army Sergeant served tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan from 2006 to 2010. Rodriguez most notably earned a Bronze Star Medal and a Purple Heart for his courageous fighting in the Battle of Kamdesh on October 3, 2009. One of the worst battles in the war in Afghanistan, Rodriguez fought for more than 12 hours to protect his fellow soldiers, despite being severely injured by shrapnel. Following his military service, Rodriguez kept his promise to a fallen comrade that he would live his dream of playing college football. Rodriguez left the Army in 2010 and enrolled in a community college to prepare academically and physically for a large university. After his homemade recruiting videos went viral, Rodriguez was offered a walk-on spot with Clemson University. During his time at Clemson, Rodriguez published his autobiography, RISE, featured on the New York Times best-selling sports books list. Following his graduation from Clemson in 2014, Rodriguez would get a call from the St. Louis Rams with an offer to try out for team and played during the 2015 NFL preseason.
Chairman and CEO of Polaris Industries Inc., Scott Wine, is this year's Civilian Leadership Award Honoree. As head of the power-sports vehicle manufacturer, Wine has expanded the company to include deployable advanced ground off-road vehicles to protect soldiers in the field. Victory Motorcycles, a Polaris affiliate, is also an invaluable strategic partner to IAVA, helping to make significant contributions to the veteran's community.
IAVA provides valuable resources and empowers veterans to connect with one another, fostering a strong and lasting community. Through education, advocacy and community building, IAVA strives to create a country that honors and supports veterans of all generations.

THE LAST STAND (DIR. JEE-WOON KIM, USA, 2013) – REVIEW
Posted in USA, tagged Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eduardo Noriega, Forest Whitaker, Governator, Jee-woon Kim, The Last Stand on January 30, 2013| 1 Comment »
It has been ten years since Arnold Schwarzenegger took on a lead role in a film. His stint as The Governator of California from 2003 to 2011 didn't leave room for as much as a cameo, but appearances in The Expendables films have eased him back into film work. The Last Stand sees Schwarzenegger return to his muscular heroics, defending the small American town of Somerton Junction on the Mexican boarder from a petrol-head drug lord called Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega).
While The Last Stand will not be 65-year-old Schwarzenegger's last film, it plays with a cheeky humour that Arnie fans and cynics alike will look upon with pleasure. His character Ray Owens, once a LAPD narcotics cop, has settled down to country living for a bit of peace and quiet, only to be jolted out of it by Cortez. The narrative construction is familiar, yet Schwarzenegger's ten-year hiatus from acting adds freshness to the material; the way he looks and carries himself seems "old" (as he amusingly describes himself.)
Arnie's strengths are at the fore here, yet the film is weakened by a plot line involving the FBI hunt for Cortez. Having lost the drug lord in Las Vegas the FBI, headed by the rather angry Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker), pursue him as he approaches Somerton Junction in his custom built Corvette. The FBI are intended to represent the modern, sleek operation in contrast to Arnie's small town policing, yet their dull scenes serve to take potentially entertaining screen time away from Arnie.
However, South Korean director Jee-woon Kim stages the film's action (for that is the true purpose of the film) with an entertaining eye for American genre traits (nods to Dirty Harry and American Westerns) and a flare for violence. The action has impact, with a satisfying Peckinpah-esque punch. The film's defining setpiece where Owens and Cortez race muscle cars through a cornfield is a particularly inspired collision between the modern and the rural. Arnie's acquisition of various old fashioned firearms (including a WWII era chain gun, mounted in a school bus), also leads to memorable shootouts.
The Last Stand is far from the greatest Schwarzenegger movie, but it is a satisfying, satirical and ultimately consistent return following his ten years in politics. It also reminds us of Arnie's unique ability to turn simple, even banal dialogue into gold. When he declares "I'm the sheriff!" with utmost conviction, we know we're back in the hands of a true Hollywood action hero.

Q: Cannot Create new Group Policy Object (GPO) I was tasked to create a script where I can automated the configurations of group policy objects (GPO) using PowerShell. I'm creating a new GPO using this command:
New-GPO -Name "foo"

But, whenever I try to create a new GPO, I always encounter this error:
New-GPO : Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
At line:1 char:1
+ New-GPO -Name "foo"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [New-GPO], UnauthorizedAccessException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.GroupPolicy.Commands.NewGpoCommand

I searched for the error code behind this, and it has something to do with the authorization of access behind this. I tried many things like downloading RSAT and other applications, but still, I can't allow my user to create a new GPO. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A: If you read the documentation it says: "Only domain administrators, enterprise administrators, and members of the Group Policy creator owners group can create GPOs. These users must run Windows PowerShell in an elevated state."

A: Miquel Roque.
In your Domain, your user-account needs to have any of the previously mentioned groups:
domain administrators
enterprise administrators
Group Policy creator
All groups and access is added inside "Active Directory Users and Computers"
from a manangement server or mmc console.
You also need to run Powershell elevated (Run as Administrator).


Modify Startup Script on Iomega/Lenovo ix4-300d NAS - Steven B.
We want our installed applications to be started whenever we start or restart our NAS without having to log in with ssh and start the service manually. This can be done by creating a "Startup" script and telling your NAS to execute it every boot/reboot. Then we can add as many services as we want.
!!! Doing this will void your warranty !!!
!!! Do this on your own risk, this may break your NAS !!!
To save the file, hit CTRL+O, then ENTER to write the file (nano should say "wrote 2xx lines") then hit CTRL+X to exit the editor. If you are a 100% sure your file is correct, restart your Nas. !!!Only restart your NAS when 100% sure the file is correct, pasting this code wrong or editing anything else in this file may/will break your NAS!!!
Add the line that's required to start a daemon to the "init-opt.sh" file. These lines are given at the end of every NAS Service tutorial on this site!
to view the logfile created every time the startup script is executed.
This entry was posted in Iomega/Lenovo NAS and tagged 3.3.4.29856, 4.0.2.9960, 4.0.6.19294, 4.0.8.23976, 4.1.102.29716, 4.1.104.31360, automatically, boot, daemons, edit, feature, guide, hack, hidden, insert, iomega, lenovo, loading, mod, Nano, putty, reboot, restart, script, services, setup, soho, ssh, startup, support, terminal, tutorial, winscp. Bookmark the permalink.
I have an X2 instead of a X4.
always double check your files before restarting, wrong code can break your Nas!!
I was attempting to do this and when I went to say I noticed the filename was sohoprocs.xml so I decided to not save my changes.
Running /opt/editconfig.sh, the file is now empty… Have I totally screwed something up?
root@NAS:/# /opt/editconfig.sh << Empty File Now?
The editconfig.sh should not be empty after execution, this file should be executed after every update to restore your servers. I would recommend removing your files and try this guide again, i found a small fault in the guide… this may be the problem.
sounds like the editconfig has a wrong path or filename and created a new file, paths and filenames are case sensitive… did you copy-paste the file or just typed it? check if your editconfig is the same as mine.
I copy pasted everything listed above.
Looks like my programs aren't starting up after reboot. I can start them myself.
is the script executed? check if there is a "init-opt.log" file, also did you do the chmod +x (add execute rights)? you can try "chmod 777 /opt/init-opt.sh". also are you logged in as root?
I think so. Following guide. I just keep having issues. Not sure why because first time I did this wasn't near as hard.
I have PX-300D running version 4.1.108.32627. When I run /etc/editconfig.sh and modify the XML under Group Level 1, paste the new program …i am unable to save the sohoProcs.xml doing CTRL+O -> Enter. i get the following message: "Error writing /tmp/apps/usr/local/cfg/sohoProcs.xml: Read-only file system" .
are you logged in with a admin account, you could try sudo or su?
Hello, I think I bricked It. I followed the instructions above (copy and pasted.) I cannot access the nas any more–web access, share or ssh. I rebooted the nas, it goest through disk configuration, displays the ip address and time. I tried to press the arrow keys but it doesn't switch displays. When I try to access the webgui, it stuck at "processing" and the nas display goes blank. The firmware is 4.1.114.33421.
Please, is there a way to revert back or re-image the firmware?
I managed to ssh into the nas while it was booting. While having the xml file opened in nano, I somehow prevented something to execute and the box booted fine. I reverted the changes and reboot. NAS is back to normal now.
I'm glad you managed to fix your NAS, havn't tested the latest firmware myself yet but it should still work.
Hi Steven! After modifications of the startup script my IX4-300d NAS hangs on 75% load. Only ping, no shares, no web or ssh access. Is it possible reset to factory defaults any way?
you should look trough the comments, there's been someone with the same problem who fixed it.
I am trying to run this on PX6-300d.
I login with root user, download scripts, its ok.
When I run, I could not write config, and then run step by step to check.
I get "mount: warning: /tmp/apps seems to mounted read-only".
May be its not compatible with px6-300d?
this tutorial is for ix4-300d, i haven't tested with the px6-300d.

Plans for the Space Shuttle were created in 1972 as a way to keep the cost of spaceflight down. The first space shuttle orbiter Enterprise flew in 1977, and in 1981 the reusable craft Columbia started to fly missions.
The five STS (Shuttle Transportation System) vehicles – Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor – made space flight look as easy as an aeroplane flight.
Each Shuttle was supposed to fly fifty missions per year. although they actually averaged approximately four flights a year.
Tragedy struck on 28 January 1986, when the space shuttle Challenger exploded during the launch of its 10th mission, killing all six crew members and one 'Teacher in Space' participant. CNN was on hand to film the launch and broadcast the tragedy live on their international cable network.
About one minute after lift-off, the ground controllers informed the crew that they were "go" for "throttle up".
The last words from the Challenger crew that were heard by Mission Control were Commander Dick Scobee's, "Roger, go with throttle up," and then about two-tenths of a second before the explosion, Commander Michael Smith's "Uh-oh". Within days we knew all about O-rings and the explosive decompression of liquid hydrogen.
Before the Challenger tragedy, the space program almost seemed invincible. The shuttles went up, the shuttles landed – It wasn't even exciting anymore, just another shuttle trip.
The Shuttle had an operational altitude of only 120 to 600 miles (its trips to the International Space Station (ISS) were only a 200 – 250 mile journey). The Shuttle also flew to the Hubble Telescope, which is maintained at an altitude of 350 miles.
For comparison, the distance between the Earth and the Moon is 238,000 miles.
The explosion of the Columbia killed seven more astronauts during re-entry of its 28th mission in 2003. This tragedy meant that the STS had now killed more people than any other space vehicle in history.
Each Shuttle was designed for only ten years of life, but NASA kept the Shuttle flying for twenty years past its expiration date. By the time the Shuttle program was scrapped in 2012 a total of 355 people had flown on the five Shuttles on 135 missions – at a total lifetime cost of about US$173 billion.
One of the many reasons the Shuttles were so expensive was because some of the equipment used to launch – such as the external tank – were non-reusable and had to be replaced with each launch. The equipment was also very old. Designed in the 1970s and completed in the 1980s, the Shuttle had some modifications over the years, but for the most part, it remained frozen in time.
Famously, at one point, NASA had to find parts for the Shuttle – parts that no one else made anymore – on eBay.
17 April 2012 saw the (piggy-backed) final flight of the Space Shuttle Discovery to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

Definitely real books for me. I miss the feel, smell and touch of a proper book when I'm reading ebooks. Plus I like to see them on a shelf.
Real books are gorgeous! A well-stocked bookcase brings a room to life, in my opinion.

"Saint Apostle. Philip" The second half of the 18th century St. Petersburg
Size: 125x82x3cm
Technique & Material: Board, gesso ground, mixed technique, drying oil.
Description: Philip - one of the twelve Jesus Christ apostles (disciples), the character of the New Testament. After the Ascension, Saint Apostle Philip (as it said) had preached the Word of God in Galilee, accompanying sermon with miracles.
He received a gift from the God resurrect. So, he resurrected the baby, whom was carrying the inconsolable mother in her arms. Preaching the Gospel in Greece, he raised a dead person. Preaching Christ in the Syrian Hierapolis, the apostle Philip caused intense anger among the people, who have threatened to beat him with stones, and at the request of the crowd apostle Philip raised the dead person, which was carried on a stretcher.
Icon was written in so-called "Elizabethan" style, named after the Empress Elizabeth. (During her reign 1741-1762). During the reign of Empress Elizabeth this style was very popular at court and among the metropolitan elite in St. Petersburg. Icons of the Elizabethan style are almost always inherent in festive mood. Rich, juicy and bright color palette. This icon has rather simple and concise painting, a true "monastic style."
The artistic value is on of the important details of this icon but not the only one. This icon is doubly sacred. It has monastic origins, amazing and at the same tragic fate. Many of the church and monastery icons that are now in the antique market, have a similar story to this image. Many of them perished in the fire of anti-religious fervor in the 1920-1930.But those, who like this icon, escaped and returned have the highest value. The power of tragic and extraordinary national destiny infused their sacrificial sanctity, and they keep forever the charge of "second consecration".
The huge size is increases the impact of the icon on the Saint prayer Philip. It is rarely portrayed in the Orthodox icon painting.The icon is perfect for the church and home prayer room. It is also fits into the secular interior room thanks to its style.
Price:2900 EUR .-
