C-MONE – 25 year retrospective & new album releases
Nottingham based rap queen C-Mone is set to release a third and fourth album in 2022 on her independant label Dark Whisper Records. Leading up to the launch we thought it would be a good opportunity to reflect on the work she has put in over the last 25 years. The last time we spoke to C-Mone was back in 2006 shortly after she released 'The Butterfly Effect', so a catch up was long overdue. For anyone who is unfamiliar with her work, C-Mone started the journey by joining Out Da Ville, a super crew originally founded by Big Trev, alongside the likes of Lee Ramsey, Scorzayzee, Karizma et al in 1996, a year after she initially started rapping. She would then go on to feature on notable release 'Notts Property EP' in 2002. When asked about whether there could be future collaborations with Out Da Ville, she said "there maybe something in the future". After working with the collective for four years she kick-started a solo career by releasing debut studio album The Butterfly Effect on Son Records to critical acclaim (making the Mercury Music Prize long list), which featured Nottingham counter parts Pariz1, Cappo and beat work from Nick Stez, Marga Boys, P Brothers and Barbie Analogue. She followed this up with sophomore album 'Dancing With Mirrors' in 2011 featuring The P Brothers, Roc Marciano and production from Nick Stez and AR Mular. Beyond this there was 'The Summer 2012 Project', an EP with a few notable remixes, as well as a mini-mixtape released in 2013, 'The Monday Book Club' that had her team up with different musicians and producers, a far more eclectic, folky piece which can be downloaded for free here. Others may know of her as Mike Skinner's poor girlfriend on The Streets 'A Grand Don't Come for Free' album or her work with Estelle, Morcheeba and Groove Armada, she also held the title of 'Best Female MC' at the UK Hip Hop Awards, clearly she is a hugely accomplished artist with a vast back catalogue, so if you don't know you better get to know.
She is known for working with a variety of producers, artists and when asked about her favourites she said "Colin Mounsey's 'Let Love Win' album collaboration on 'Version 3' is beautiful I love that collaboration (it's a must listen), 'L.O.V.E 2012' collaboration featuring Yung UK, Skeme, The Ringleader Cizi, Papi & Face is dope and 'Upside Down Girl' Sugardaddy featuring Jack Splash (Plant Life) is pretty cool too" (Sugardaddy is one half of Groove Armada and Way out West). She also mentioned her favourite recent single as being 'Black' a piece produced by Atlanta based Buff Baggwell, someone she previously worked with on the book club release.
What are your thoughts on how far (or not) women in Hip Hop have come since you first started rapping? "I've been rapping for 25 years, time has flown. I started in 1995 and so I believe I have seen an increase in the number of women rapping, but I haven't seen that translating into many women signing to major record labels, no where near as many males… and so I believe it's time for a load of females to be signed to major's as the female Hip Hop voice is missing from the global stage." When asked who are some of your favourite females in the game? She replied with 'Cardi B'.
'UP' from the 'Dancing with Mirrors' album
So what can we expect from the new releases? The next (and third) album is called 'Knock Knock', which she describes as a comedy hip hop album inspired by legends like Dawn French, "It's ten tracks, funny as hell and will be free". The following fourth album is called 'Herstory', an autobiography out shortly after the third album, both set for release in 2022. Both are currently being recorded at the Pink Rooms, Nottingham and produced entirely by Barbie Analogue who worked on C-Mone's previous releases. The two new albums surprisingly unlike her previous works will have no features, "On my two new albums there will be no guests. This'll be the first time as I incorporated features on my debut album 'The Butterfly Effect' and 'Dancing With Mirrors'", and only Barbie Analogue will handle production duty, allowing her to produce a more consistent, cohesive body of work, intriguing stuff.
The highly anticipated 'Knock Knock' and 'Herstory' are set for release in 2022, this is seven years after C-Mone's last album and will no doubt surpass all expectations when some incredible alchemy is delivered by the Nottingham stalwart, stay tuned.
What is your favourite song by C-Mone, do you remember Out Da Ville and did you know she was the hard-done-by girlfriend on Mike Skinner's album? Tweet me your thoughts.

Caffeine is the active ingredient in two of the world's most popular drinks – coffee and tea. When you drink these beverages, it enters your bloodstream and affects your entire body. That is why you need to be aware of its effects so that you balance out the good and the bad.
What are the positive caffeine effects?
If consumed in moderation, caffeine can do a world of good in your body.
It is a stimulant. When you drink coffee or tea, its active ingredient enters your bloodstream and reaches the brain. It inhibits the production of the chemicals that cause drowsiness and lethargy. Moreover, caffeine also increases the efficiency of other parts of the brain. Studies have proven that it boosts memory, stabilizes mood and makes you more vigilant.
Caffeine is present in all supplements that help you lose weight because it speeds up your metabolism by almost 10%. The faster your rate of metabolism, the more quickly you are able to lose weight. But, you should not rely on it alone to lose weight, rather use it to supplement a healthy diet and an exercise routine.
When caffeine breaks down fat cells, they expel fatty acids that the body uses as fuel. It also stimulates our nervous system and releases adrenaline that helps energize the body for physical exertion.
Type 2 diabetes means you have elevated levels of blood sugar because your body is resistant to insulin. If you are a regular coffee/tea drinker, it will reduce your risk of diabetes by almost 50%.
To determine if you have high blood sugar, you can consult a doctor on MediBuddy.
It prevents brain cells from deteriorating. Studies have shown that 2-3 moderate cups of coffee can lower the chances of getting dementia or Alzheimer's by almost 60%.
It boosts blood circulation. In fact, regular and moderate drinking of coffee can actually stabilize blood pressure and promote good heart health.
It increases peristalsis, the contractive movement of the digestive tract that moves food and faecal matter down the digestive tract. Therefore, caffeine acts as a laxative.
What are the negative caffeine effects?
If you consume more than 1000 mg of coffee, it will trigger the production of an excess of adrenaline, which will make you anxious and jittery and elevate your stress levels.
Several studies have proved that excess caffeine throughout the day makes it difficult for a person to fall asleep. It also reduces your total sleep time. Sleep is restorative. Without the right amount of sleep, you will become forgetful, irritable, and lethargic.
If you consume too much energy drinks, the excess caffeine can increase your pulse rate and change the rhythm of your heart.
When you drink a caffeinated beverage, it stimulates your bladder. That is why if you consume too much of caffeine, it can make you urinate frequently.
The jury is out on whether caffeine is good for you or not. While it undeniably has plenty of health benefits but like all things, binging on it can be harmful to your health.
alth. Consult a doctor to know more about the health benefits and risks of coffee.
Very good suggestion. Thank you very much for your valuable information.

The girls and I are back for another round of Shop the House. We've added some new friends to the group and changed some things up. This month, each week we will be decorating one area of our home with items we already have from around the house – hence "shop the house". It's a fun and interesting challenge that forces me to get creative, so I love it!
This round I've chosen to do part of our entryway. Since first creating our Ikea hack console table, I haven't done much to switch up the decor except during the holidays, like last fall and Christmas. This is still one of my favorite projects for our house and those drawers have created so much available storage for us. Lately, my brain has been going crazy thinking of new ways to spruce up this space and I can't wait to share!
Play along with us on Instagram, use #shopthehouse and post your space!
That Ikea hack table is what made me fall in love with you! Can't wait to see you work your magic.
I just love this challenge! I'm checking out everybody's and I can't wait to see the results. Love it! Your blog is amazing!

The authorities started work aimed at stocking up technical and material resources, road and construction equipment, and fuel. Irina Rossius drew the audience's attention to the fact that all the equipment that is presently used on the territory of the region will stay there. 1500 units of equipment are used for flood losses liquidation.


Catherine's life after weight loss.
Active life for the win!
Catherine so far has lost 168 pounds and is excited to be able to do so much more now. "I can trade clothes with my friends — something I could never do, even as a kid. And I'm much more active — walking and jogging, and I just started CrossFit training." And now, she can go to the park with her little niece and nephew, and stay off the sidelines. "This summer, when my nephew said 'Aunt Catie! Come play on the slide with me!' I could actually do it — in fact, we went down the slide together 17 times that day. I would suggest to anyone thinking about weight loss surgery that they contact Bryan Bariatric Advantage to learn about the different options and what is the right procedure for them. That was the first step for me — it's helped me change my life."

Eight Step Research Process
Locate the law or code section
Start with the Arizona law or code section to be searched. Remember, if you don't know the code section, Google! Example: A.R.S. Sect. 36-3201ff on Living Wills and Health Care Directives. The date of the legislative session and chapter number follows the statute. Ex: Laws 1992, Ch. 193.
Find the session law
Locate the session law in the Arizona Session Laws. In the corresponding volume of Session Laws of Arizona, locate the chapter which is the law as passed by the legislature. The House bill (H.B.) or Senate bill (S.B.) number indicates where the bill originated. Example: Chapter 193 in the 1992 session laws is H.B. 2247 (House bill).
Review the Bill History
Consult the House and Senate Journals under the bill number in the "Bill History" section. In each Journal for the year of legislation, locate the bill number in the History of House and Senate Bills sections. Chronologies begin with the date of first reading through the various committees to the date of the Governor's signature. Sponsors of the legislation are given. Note the committees (except Rules) and dates. If committees made amendments to the original bill these are mentioned. The Journals provide very little substantive information except a sense of the pattern of the bill through its process and votes.
Review the Committees Section
Check the Committees Section in the House and Senate Journals. Checking the Committees section of the Journals, as well as the prior year Journals, is useful to determine if an Interim, Special or Study Committee issued a special report on the topic of legislation. Ex: Living Will, Health Care Power of Attorney and Surrogate Decision Making Study Committee is found in the Committees section in the 1991 Journals. Copies of these reports will be on file with the House Clerk and Senate Resource Office. A few substantial reports are listed in the University of Arizona online catalog and the State Library catalog.
For Title 13 criminal statutes, some legislative history commentary is available in the 1975 report by the Criminal Code Commission that developed a substantial revision of the state's criminal laws: Arizona Revised Criminal Code (KFA 2961 A82 1975 Law Reserve; Arizona Collection). Committee Chairman Hon. Rudolph Gerber provides original report information with updated information in his Criminal Law of Arizona (2d ed. 1993, 2000) (KFA 2961 G47 1993. Law Arizona Reference).
Review the Original Bill
Find a copy of the original bill as introduced. Locate a copy of the original bill to compare language and content between the initial bill and the final enacted legislation. The State Library at the Capitol has bills from 1912, and the House Clerk and Senate Resource Office have bills from 1995. The College of Law Library has a limited number of bills (House 1971-1975: Film 024 and Senate 1969-1978: Film 025). University of Arizona Main Library has bills for the House (KFA 2406 H68) and Senate (KFA 2406 S46) with the latest year in Reference and previous years in stacks; pre-1988 bills are in Special Collections.
Call or visit the House Clerk Office and Senate Resource Center for materials. Provide the clerk with the information collected in the search. A search of the bill file will provide the original and amended versions, and the committee files may provide comments about the considered legislation and references to documents from the Special and Study Committees. Minutes of committee meetings have been kept from 1970 (1965 to 1970 is scant) though not as verbatim transcripts. The House Clerk and Senate Resource Center will search print sources and report their findings and cost of copying. Audio tapes of meetings are available from the House from 1992 and the Senate for the past 3 years, but relevant information may be limited. Photocopy of print and microfilm sources is $.10 per page and tapes are available for $5.00 each. Allow plenty of time for this service, particularly when the legislature is in session in the spring.
Check other sources
Locate articles in periodicals and newspapers. Consult law review and other journals for articles cited in print and online sources. Example: Health Care Directives and Decisions, Chester B. McLaughlin and Robert B. Fleming, 30 Ariz. Atty 13 (Aug./Sept. 1993).
Check Westlaw and LexisAdvance
Search Arizona cases database on Westlaw or LexisAdvance.

Independant media threatend by US/UK forces (english)
by By ANDREW BUNCOMBE and ERIC SILVER	 31 Mar 2003
From the New Zealand Herald
British journalists covering the war in Iraq have said their lives are being put at risk because of a decision by the British Ministry of Defence to hinder rather than help correspondents who are not attached to its units.
Free-roaming journalists say their lives at risk
By ANDREW BUNCOMBE and ERIC SILVER
LONDON - British journalists covering the war in Iraq have said their lives are being put at risk because of a decision by the British Ministry of Defence to hinder rather than help correspondents who are not attached to its units.
In some cases, reporters who have made their own way into the country are being forced to sleep in their vehicles in still unsafe streets rather than allowed to park in some of the army bases, air strips and ports that the invading forces have seized.
"My job is to make your lives as difficult as possible.
You will get not help whatsoever," a senior army spokesman allegedly told one group of journalists.
Another senior officer involved in organising facilities for the press said he wanted the Kuwaiti authorities to arrest reporters seeking to enter Iraq and have them deported.
Two Israeli and two Portuguese journalists were detained by US and British soldiers 100 miles south of Baghdad at gunpoint, deprived of food for 48 hours, then expelled from Iraq at the weekend.
One of them, Dan Semama, a correspondent with Israel's Channel 1 television, said guards at the entrance to a US army camp accused the four, who were not accredited to coalition forces, of spying.
Mr Semama said that when one of the Portuguese begged to be allowed to tell his wife and children that he was still alive, "five gorillas jumped on the reporter, who is small and thin and gentle.
They knocked him to the ground, kicked him, stepped on him, tied him up and threw him into the camp.
He came back half an hour later.
He was crying like a child.
"The four had entered Iraq in a rented Jeep and followed a US convoy, reporting home by satellite telephone.
At the gate to their base, guards ordered them out of the Jeep and shouted at them to put their hands up.
When the two Israelis, who have dual nationality, showed their French passports, it only made things worse.
France is not exactly the American army's flavour of the month.
"There was one captain," Mr Semama said, "who wanted us to lie on the ground with our faces in the sand and dust.
'Stick your head in the sand and don't look," he shouted at us.
I told him I was 55 years old.
He replied, 'Do it, or I'll shoot you'.
"The British Army has long enjoyed a reputation for having an excellent relationship with the media, providing assistance and often vital information on conditions in the field.
While individual officers in combat zones in southern Iraq have continued this tradition, they admit they are under orders to deny assistance to non-pool or "unilateral" journalists.
The problem has partly been created by the so-called embedding system under which journalists have been attached to units, providing in some cases unprecedented access to frontline operations.
It seems that Washington and London are not keen for their actions to be scrutinised by journalists outside their control and whose reports are not subject to censorship by "media minders".
The behaviour of officers is, according to a number of senior correspondents, putting lives at risk.
Last night in the border town of Umm Qasr - a town rife with looting and where aid distribution has been postponed over security problems - Royal Marines refused to allow The Independent and other British newspapers entry to a largely empty hotel compound.
"Sorry, mate, if it was up to me, you could come in, but rules are rules," a major said.

Does Uranium Have a Bright Future?
Metal Staff February 15, 2018 0 0
When we say the word "Uranium" what's the first thing that comes to mind?
The first thing that comes to mind would be nuclear power, right? We've all been exposed to the cliché of Uranium being used as an ingredient to create nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. I guess we got that idea from all those James Bond movies, Red Alert Games, and other sources of media.
That is only half the truth since Uranium was being traded before the Manhattan Project even began. It was used as components in planes and boats because since is 18.7 times denser than water. However that all changed when people discovered the enormous power that Uranium creates during nuclear fission. Because of this Uranium became heavily tied with nuclear power and it has been mainly used for nuclear power ever since.
This change also increased Uranium's value tenfold. This funny (but not accurate) quote about Uranium best describes how its value has increased after people discovered how valuable it truly is.
"For years uranium cost only a few dollars a ton until scientists discovered you could kill people with it" – Unknown
Uranium is a naturally occurring element that currently has the highest atomic number (for naturally occurring elements). It was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth, a German chemist. Klaproth found the element in the mineral called pitchblende or uraninite. It was later named after the planet Uranus, which had been discovered eight years earlier.
Klaproth at that time only discovered the uranium as a metal and as such it was used as components for boats because of its high density and as a counterbalance for airplanes. It wasn't until in 1841 that uranium was first isolated by the French chemist Eugène-Melchior Péligot. Péligot did this by reducing the anhydrous uranium tetrachloride present in the ore with potassium. Because of this uranium was then used in the coloring of glass which was called "Vaseline glass".
Uranium's Nuclear Potential
The discovery of radioactivity in 1896 by Henri Becquerel is what made uranium a truly valuable metal. Becquerel conducted subsequent research on a uranium sample which he used to discover uranium's radioactive properties. Further research by Enrico Fermi and others on 1934 showed that the 235 Uranium isotope can undergo a chain reaction of nuclear fission and produce massive amounts of power in the process.
This made uranium attractive as a source of nuclear power and for the power industry. But it also attracted the attention of the undergoing Manhattan Project. And through the collaboration of multiple scientists, the "Little Boy" atomic bomb was made.
Is Uranium Dangerous to work with?
The half-life of 238 Uranium isotope being 4 .468 × 109 years which makes uranium a weakly radioactive element. It emits low penetration alpha particles which can be arrested by our own skin. This makes depleted uranium which is composed of mainly 238 Uranium isotope safe to work with, as long as it doesn't get ingested or inhaled of course.
With further research, scientists have learned to take precaution and they have created various methods and systems to help prevent radioactive poisoning.
So to answer that question. Yes uranium is dangerous to work with and there will always be risks of exposure, but thanks to the latest trends and innovations in technology, the risk can be minimized.
Uranium as a military asset
After the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the world has seen the power the atomic bomb. This changed the whole world, and the supply for uranium was at its all-time high. The Americans wanted to horde as much uranium as it can, while the Soviets were mining it and making little nuclear bombs of their own.
This made uranium a valuable military asset, and this is where we probably got the idea that uranium was used as a nuclear weapons by evil terrorist or mad scientists for their dastardly schemes.
The Price of Uranium
Uranium was at an all-time high during the Cold War but as things began to settle down, and as tensions between the US and Soviets began to dwindle, so did the value of uranium. The value of uranium dwindled until in 2001 where it reached an all-time low of $7 for a single pound of uranium.
But the market is unpredictable and the price of uranium gradually rose again until it rose to a price of $135 for a single pound. That's a 19 times increase! The price of was high up until 2011 where an unfortunate event occurred.
The Fukushima nuclear power plant had a nuclear meltdown and although no one died (according to the World Nuclear Association), the threat of nuclear breakdowns have people doubting the safety of nuclear power. And after that the uranium market has been struggling ever since.
Should I invest in Uranium?
Because of the Fukushima meltdown, a lot of people are currently wary of nuclear power and as such, the market for uranium is struggling. The market for uranium is currently bleak but no one can tell how the market will be in ten to twenty years from now, so it's really up to you.

An armed robber � using a BB pistol � stole two bags of money from a Seven Springs restaurant but was caught only 10 minutes after his crime.
Justin Ryan Cash, 29, of 4210 Outlaws Bridge Road in Seven Springs, confessed to the robbery that took place around 8 a.m., Monday at Billy Bobs Bar and Grill, 8136 N.C. 55 West, Seven Springs.
Cash brandished what appeared to be a handgun and pointed it at the owner of the restaurant, Barbara Banks, when she walked from the kitchen to the counter area where the cash register was located. After he took two bank bags and fled the store in a black truck on N.C. 55 towards Kinston, Banks called the Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office.
Ten minutes later, LCSO Deputy William Shambeau spotted the truck near the La Grange overpass on N.C. 903; Shambeau followed the truck and stopped it on West Washington Street in La Grange.
A �show-up� was performed between the restaurant owner and Cash, and the robber promptly confessed to the crime. All the money was recovered and Cash was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon. He was given a $35,000 bond and placed in Lenoir County Jail.
The handgun used in the crime was determined to be a BB pistol by the Sheriff�s Office.


Weleda recently relaunched it's calendula baby care range. It now looks more summery due to the daffodil yellow packaging and it has a cute little lady bird on it too which is so sweet. Weleda are known worldwide for their Eco-friendly and natural based products and I particularly love their Arnica and Almond ranges.
My middle son who is now six suffers from dry skin and eczema, he takes it from his dad and both of their skins can at time be sensitive. We tried using so many products over the years including Johnson's baby care range, these were also too strong and left red marks. Finally we found a product that worked by Lush, but then Cooper decided he was bored of it and wanted a newer product.
For those that don't know, my son blogs over on Cooper in the City. He loves to try new products (mainly stealing mine of course) and then telling me what his opinion is. When he was asked if he wanted to try some Weleda calendula products, he was so excited both because he had been asked to test out the cream - and because he knew all about Weleda from my many purchases beforehand.
Once his samples arrived we decided that it was only fair that we test them out on the rest of us also (karma and all that). Cooper was more than happy to let us test them as he had all ready smothered himself in the Calendula body lotion. He's so used to applying creams now it's second nature, he squeeled about it smelling yummy and like flowers, he never once did this with Lush's products. I find his dry area's which are mostly around his neck, arms and leg areas looked softer and calmer very quickly.
He tested the body lotion for 1 week and then moved on to the body cream. The lotion of course is much thinner than the cream but both smell the same and offer the same benefits. This range was reformulated and re-packaged as Weleda wanted to ensure they were packing each bottle, with as much calendula as they possibly could. Did you know Weleda also grow their own calendula!
Here are the 2 products we tested out.
I was so glad over the weekend that we had this product in the house, especially the lotion. My sons were of course all out playing in the sun, even with a factor 50+ sun cream, they still managed to turn a lovely lobster shade. My youngest son tends to get little blisters from the sun so after their bath I whipped out the caledula lotion, smothered it all over his red bits including his face and ears. Calendula is excellent for sore skins, sun burns and healing wounds as it reduces inflammation and helps to heal. Sure enough, the next morning their faces were back to their perfect smoothness. No blotches, blister type spots trying to rear their ugly heads and best of all no sore sunburned cheeks.
There are a few products in the Calendula baby range such as the nappy cream, baby oil, face cream, tummy rub and weather protection cream. Prices range from £2.45 for mini sizes up to £12.95 for the gift set. The body lotion and cream that we tested both costs £7.95 and will last us a long time, even with us being a family of 5.
If you want to try out that range first, I would recommend getting some minis, even if you're going abroad these are excellent products to have in your suitcase to soothe dry skin, bites and stings that you may get along the way.
There are mini sizes of the nappy change cream, body lotion, face cream and calendula oil. You can also purchase fully fragrance free products but to be honest the fragrance is so very minute and delicate it shouldn't bother any little noses.
Did you know that this range and Weleda in general are loved by celebrities? Courtney Cox, Jessica Alba, Demi Moore, Fearne Cotton, Dannii Minogue and Gwyneth Paltrow all love Weleda. If it's good enough for them it's good enough for us.
You can purchase it directly from Weleda or in your local Boots.


The USDA and its Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is currently asking for help in stockpiling the vaccine for the Eurasian H5 strain of avian influenza. This is in preparation for a potential outbreak of the fast-spreading virus this autumn. The last such outbreak resulted in the destruction of over 48M birds in the U.S. The agency will release an environmental impact analysis next week that will assist in making the decision whether to use the vaccine or not.
Official in the U.S. Department of Agriculture are calling for proposal submissions for ways of increasing access to bird flu vaccines. In this instance, the increased access is for veterinarians and the intended recipients of the vaccines are the bird themselves. The agency hopes to have the bird flu build-up done before fall 2015.
These efforts are being taken to prepare for the possible return of the avian influenza virus, a particularly fast-spreading illness. The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has yet to actually decide whether it's going to use the vaccine on actual birds. Rather, they want to be ready for another outbreak of the Eurasian H5 strain that occurred earlier this year.
This call stems from the criticism the agency faced over its handling of the last outbreak, during which over 48M birds were destroyed in the U.S. It was the country's worst outbreak in poultry. The agency state in July that it intended to improve its responsiveness.
The chief U.S. veterinary officer, John Clifford, advised legislators that APHIS wanted the vaccines regardless of the fact that it hadn't yet decided to actually use them. The idea being that it would be better to have them and not need them than vice-versa.
John Clifford, the chief U.S. veterinary officer, told lawmakers that the agency wanted to stockpile vaccines for poultry ahead of autumn, though officials had not decided whether to use them. The agency plans to release an environmental assessment soon that will examine possible impacts of vaccinating the nation's birds.
All snark aside, that is exactly the choice before APHIS. The assessment will give them the information they need to make a risk analysis and plot a course of action.

Staring at Nothing
[Originally published in I Rez Therefore I Am.]
I imagine that walking into the current Invisible exhibition at London's Hayward Gallery is a little like what walking into French avant-garde artist Yves Klein's Le Vide or "The Void" in Paris back in 1958 would have been. For that piece, officially titled The Specialization of Sensibility in the Raw Material State into Stabilized Pictorial Sensibility, 3000 visitors were led into a white-walled room that, apart from a large cabinet, was totally empty. Knowing that the exhibition consisted of "Art about the Unseen," I walked into Invisible wondering what it was I should be looking for, and whether a gallery full of "invisible" art would be worth the effort it seemed to imply. As I entered the second room of the exhibition, a jaded gallery attendant joked that I should watch out for the invisible door. Humoring him by turning an invisible doorknob, I soon realized that I'd need to experience the art in much the same way—with a little bit of humor and patience. And that is the common thread running through Invisible: works that bring us to acknowledge our pre-conceived notions and limitations about what it means to experience art.
Klein throwing gold into the Seine.
The exhibition—in which pieces are presented chronologically in various rooms—begins with Yves Klein himself, whose art often revolved around a fascination with nothingness and the immaterial. In Zone de Sensibilité Picturale Immatérielle (Zones of Immaterial Pictorial Sensibility), begun in 1959, Klein sold "empty spaces" throughout the city of Paris in exchange for gold. Upon receipt of the gold he gave the buyer a certificate of ownership of the space, though in a second part of the performance he threw half of the gold into the river Seine if the buyer agreed to set fire to the certificate. "Through this act," states one description of the piece, "a perfect, definitive immaterialization is achieved, as well as the absolute inclusion of the buyer in the immaterial…. Klein presents capitalist trading strategies and illuminates his ideas about the indefinable, incalculable value of art."* It is a ritual that at once allows the buyer to experience the "Void" that was showcased in his earlier exhibition, and that shows the ultimate impossibility of obtaining ownership over such a space. (Even with a highly valuable material such as gold.)
Other works are more obviously "invisible," such as American artist Robert Barry's Electromagnetic Energy Field (1968) in which an electromagnetic energy transmitter sends out invisible waves of energy. We can't see the energy field, we may not be able to tell that it is there, and yet it unquestionably exists. Inevitably, it made me think of all the other forces in the universe which are invisible to humans, but which have a profound effect on our world regardless. Some are physical, like gravity; others are even less easily categorized, like human emotions. Similarly ambiguous, Tom Friedman's 1000 hours of staring (medium: "Stare on paper") appears to consist of a rather large, though utterly blank, white sheet of paper. Of course, seeing this framed and displayed on a museum wall can be a little frustrating. But the more I thought about it, the more the idea of using "stare" as a medium made complete and total sense. Many artists use bodily fluids or other unconventional materials to create works of art; just because you can't see the effect on paper, why is a stare different? Staring at the paper, glimpsing my own reflection in the glass, immediately evoked the 1,000 hours of intent and focus the artist spent looking at this same sheet of paper, a sheet of paper that will in turn be stared at fleetingly by thousands of people. Love it or hate it—the concept is powerful.
A similar piece consisting of frustratingly-blank paper is by American artist Glenn Ligon. Though in this case, the emotion of frustration is probably central to understanding He tells me I am his own. As the description notes, Ligon, whose work often reflects his experience as an African American gay man, tries to capture the white bias of literature and Hollywood with a photograph of "whiteness." The blank piece of photo paper reflects the blinding whiteness that pervades the majority of American popular culture; the absent photograph simultaneously brings to mind all the other images that are absent from Hollywood, as the bias of the camera shuts out darker skin tones in favor of glossy all-encompassing whiteness. To me, it seemed staring at this piece was one way to access the complex emotion of being faced with this reality.
"Invisible" art, like any other art form, may evoke a vast array of emotions and concepts. Comments on consumption and the "value" of art, using unseen forces like electromagnetic energy as art media, and highlighting existing racist structures are only a few examples. Though certain aspects of the art in this exhibition are often invisible, they are by no means unperceivable. Quite the opposite, in fact, as exploring what is absent may have endlessly more possibilities for the human imagination than focusing on what is present. As the artist Robert Barry stated in 1968, "Nothing seems to me the most potent thing in the world."
Invisible is showing at the Hayward Gallery until August 5th.

Ken Rosenthal from the Athletic is reporting that the Pittsburgh Pirates have signed outfielder Melky Cabrera as a minor league free agent with an invite to Major League Spring Training, which begins in three days.
Free-agent outfielder Melky Cabrera in agreement with #Pirates on a minor-league contract, sources tell me and @RobBiertempfel.
Jon Heyman notes that he could make up to $2 M with his incentives.
The 34-year-old Cabrera spent 2018 with the Cleveland Indians, where he split some outfield time with Lonnie Chisenhall. That is likely to continue with those two this year with the Pirates.
In 78 games last year, Cabrera hit .280/.335/.420. He had a slightly lower OPS (.746) seeing full-time action in 2017, splitting the season between the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals. According to Baseball-Reference, he was a -0.3 WAR in 2017 and 0.0 WAR in 2018. That was mostly due to poor defense, while splitting his time between left field and right field. As a hitter, he put up a 2.3 WAR combined over the last two seasons. That would seem like his best usage would be as a pinch-hitter, but he has performed very poorly in his career in that role, going 6-for-41 with six singles.

Although Labor Day is considered the last great weekend of summer, it's not the last great weekend to getaway. Sure, you can dream of far-flung places but B.C. has plenty of quickie getaways (you can drive and ferry to) that go the distance. Think low season to save big bucks. Weekend rates can be up to 30 percent lower.
Because you only have two or three days, have a plan. Agree on a few must-dos so you don't waste time wondering, "What should we do?" But don't go overboard or you won't relax.
The hot springs is reason enough to visit Sasquatch Country, but so is the "Circle Farm Tour." With bikes from our hotel, a map and empty backpacks for food shopping, we pedalled down country roads, past cows and bison roaming the fields and refuelled at "The Back Porch" with a cup of coffee "flame roasted daily" on-site in a 1919 flame coffee roaster. They also have Russian red garlic, pottery and more. We braked for hand-made cheeses at Farmhouse Natural Cheese and could have continued but another activity was on the agenda.
With a guide from Harrison Eco Tours we leisurely paddled Harrison Lake and partway down Harrison River. The two-hour paddle is perfect for those who want to take it easy and enjoy nature.
Don't judge Harrison's cuisine on its plethora of fast-food joints – pass on the tater tots and hotdogs and stroll to Morgan's on the Esplanade, just beneath the Harrison Beach Hotel —both have fantastic views of the lake.
Chef and owner Morgan McLeod sources produce locally and even picks up veggies and ducks from local farmers, which is pretty amazing at age 76! It was difficult not to scarf down all the bread – 50/50 sourdough and focaccia. Our server and Morgan's son-in-law (yes it's family-run) recommended we start with the roasted eggplant and my carnivore companion was amazed. Me too. After a few glasses of Okanagan wine we sauntered upstairs for a peaceful night's sleep—at this time of year all is quiet lakeside.
After breakfast at Muddy Waters, another family-run eatery featuring fresh and local ingredients, we had to take a dip. If you aren't staying at the Harrison Resort, with a spa treatment of $100 minimum, you can enjoy their hot pools. Or soak in the hot springs public pool: Harrison's renowned healing mineral water soothes body and soul.
Start your getaway Thursday night: launched this summer by the Valley Food and Farm Collective, the evening market in historic downtown Abby includes food trucks, a communal brew house, a local-food café, and live music.
Lots of millennials moved away and came back to raise a family and start a business in the historic section. Kristina and Johannes opened Oldhand Coffee (try the cinnamon brioche with a chai latte) and business is booming. Four years ago you couldn't get a specialty coffee anywhere.
Across the road, two families passionate about life balance and improving wellness opened the HABIT Project, serving cold-pressed juice and smoothie bowls they make with organic, ingredients just one day after they are plucked or picked.
The AppleBarn Shop has been around since the 1930s, when Loren Taves' grandfather purchased a plot of land and a few apple trees in the Fraser Valley. Now the family harvests more than apples. Besides U-pick apples (10 varieties) and pumpkins spread over about 30 acres, there's a corn maze and sunflower patch, petting barn and cider press demonstrations and my favourite—the overhead goat walkway.
In keeping with wellness, we popped into the Wild Orange Spa for a wondrous "ionactive power facial" that also included a foot massage. For total relaxation and rejuvenation, arrive early for the eucalyptus steam room and stay for tea in their lounge.
Then it was dinnertime a few doors away at Restaurant 62. Why 62? Our server said one of the original owners was an RCMP officer and code 62 signals meal break. Chef/owners Matthew Nichols and Jeff Massey do amazing things with escargot and local duck breast, and their extensive wine list has won a Wine Spectator's Award for Excellence for the last ten years.
Goat's are the stars of the show at goat yoga on the Maan Farm.
Goat yoga is here! For a lark we joined about 100 others doing the downward dog in Maan Farms' barn surrounded by goats, followed by a glass of fruit wine and homemade samosas and pakoras.
That night at Brookside Inn B&B, both B's were great and the owners charming.
About 45 minutes west of Victoria, Sooke is perfect for lightweight adventurers and gourmands. Hands down (and hands-free), pedalling and a bit of paddling with West Coast Outdoor Adventure was one of my best kayak trips ever. Our guide Allen briefly explained the fast and stable foot-powered Hobie kayak and we zipped past Sooke Harbour and Whiffen Spit in no time. We paddled through kelp gardens and water so clear we could see purple and pink sea stars far below.
West Coast Outdoor Adventure has everything you need to explore Sooke – on water and terra firma. Their bikes are ideally suited for the famous 56km "Galloping Goose" converted railway trail. We opted for the e-bikes – easy peasy. Like the kayaks, their Hobie's Mirage Eclipse Paddleboard uses pedals to move (think StairMaster at the gym).
In the not-too-distant past Sooke wasn't much more than a haven for hippies and commercial fishers. Now the area offers good restaurants (the Little Vienna Bakery is fantastic), many artists' workshops and galleries and dozens of B&Bs and small inns.
We ate chocolate pudding from their "to go" menu in our cottage at SookePoint Ocean Resort. Although about 45 minutes from 'downtown' Sooke and with some cottages still under construction, the tasteful furnishings, fully-equipped gourmet kitchen and breathtaking views are worth a sleepover.
Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto a wide deck and below is "Orca Alley" – whale watching in comfort!
I could have stayed in the cottage all day, but hiking at Sooke Potholes Provincial Park is not to be missed—even on a gloomy day. Well-maintained trails lead down to pools and potholes with crystal clear water naturally carved into the bedrock of the Sooke River.
We pretty much had the stretch of highway from Sooke–flanked with old-growth forests—to ourselves. Close to Port Renfrew, which still has that "end of the road" feel, some of Canada's biggest and oldest trees live in Avatar Grove, including the country's gnarliest tree and the world's largest-known Douglas fir, almost 74 metres tall.
But Botanical Beach at low tide is Vancouver Island's jewel in the crown. Tide pools teeming with marine life are surrounded by mussels and gooseneck barnacles gripping onto flat sandstone and granite outcroppings. And there's driftwood the size of smart cars.
The intertidal zone is magical and mesmerizing, as is Devil's Punchbowl, a gallery of caves at the north end of the sandy beach. But be sure to check the local tide chart to avoid waiting several hours for the tide to recede–the gift shop and check-in at Wild Renfrew Seaside Cottages is a good source, and they also offer lux log-cabin like accommodations.
We cozied up to the fireplace with a glass of wine before hitting the Renfrew Pub just across the road. What a pleasant surprise to find a great selection of spirits from the nearby Sheringham Distillery, wine from small producers such as Unsworth Vineyards and craft beers such as Sooke Oceanside Brewery's Renfrew Red Ale, perfect with chipotle cod tacos and poutine.
Although storm watching begins in November, pack rubber boots and sneakers, as well as your sunscreen, and explore Tofino's great outdoors, from windswept beaches to old growth forests.
Winter brings the most reliable waves so I stuffed myself into a wetsuit and joined a Surf Sister instructor on Chesterman beach. Wading into the water I was surprisingly warm and after an hour or so I'd worked up a bit of a sweat, but only managed to surf on my knees. More challenging is getting the wetsuit off.
Book a whale-watching tour out of Tofino or Ucluelet, or float plane to nearby Hot Springs Cove, where natural pools of steaming water abut the ocean. On a calm day, kayak Clayoquet Sound: Guided tours stop on nearby Meares Island for a romp through the rainforest.
If you're more into terra firma, Tofino Botanical Gardens comprises 12 acres of unique gardens, ponds, art installations and a historic homestead. In the town of Tofino the Wickaninnish Interpretive Centre exhibits include a First Nations canoe, while the Eagle Aerie Gallery displays works by Roy Henry Vickers.
And when the tide is out you can beachcomb for sea treasures—but always be aware of rogue waves.
Tofino has become a foodie destination over the last several years, particularly when Wolf in the Fog opened its doors. Its menu changes with the seasons but cedar-infused rye sour is a cocktail menu staple and if the potato-crusted oyster were taken off the menu there would be mutiny.
If it's beer you're after, the Tofino Brewing Company has a new taproom and for a taste of Tofino, try a kelp stout.
As for accommodations, you're spoilt for choice during low season. Long Beach Lodge Resort has long been my favourite and they offer seasonal rates. Slip into the private hot tub on the deck of your cottage or snuggle in the great room beside the oversized granite fireplace.
Years ago, Ucluelet– pronounced U-clue-let or Ukee (You-key) as residents say– got a bad rap. It was known as Tofino's "ugly stepsister" or "poor cousin" when Tofino was the hippie cousin marinating in patchouli oil, Birkenstocks and Cowichan sweaters. But both towns grew up and storm watching season took over.
Make the most out of storm watching and hire a guide to get a front row seat. You'll be in safe (and fun) company with these professionals. If you're a moderate hiker and okay walking on rocks and uneven ground, book the "Blow Hole" for that 'Wow' moment. You can feel the vibrations from the blow hole before seeing nature at her finest.
From Ukee, walk the Wild Pacific Trail, a 6.5 km path through old-growth forest, skirting the rugged shoreline to viewing platforms where hikers might see kayakers heading to Barkley Sound and the annual gray whale migration.
For something more relaxing, take an early morning 2-hour hike to one of the best tidal pools on the coast.
If it's a dark night in Ucluelet harbor, take a bioluminescence (night paddle) to see a light show starring millions of tiny creatures called dinoflagellates—it's quite a performance.
Sleepover in style at the Francis Boutique Inn where it's all about the details: handmade artwork on the walls, modern technology, and a hot tub. Four 'adult only' suites in this lovely home are perched on a hill in the village centre overlooking the harbor.
For a more remote stay, Wya Point Resort is surrounded by 600 acres of old-growth forest with direct access to private beaches. Luxuriate in a timber-framed lodge or go glamping in a funky yurt with the ocean right outside your door. Both lodges and yurts have fully contained kitchens and barbecues.
Check out the tasting room at Pacific Rim Distilling. I'd buy their Lighthouse gin and Humpback vodka for the labels alone. They'd make a great message in the bottle tossed into the briny blue. Oh wait, is that still allowed?

Methane digester on Straus ranch to balance emissions from BMW's electric cars
Anna Guth
Cow-powered cars? Albert Straus, the founder of Straus Family Creamery, plans to make this a near reality through a new partnership with the auto industry. Mr. Straus has operated a methane biodigester since 2004 on the Straus ranch in Marshall, converting cow manure into electrical power and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1,600 metric tons annually. Mr. Straus now intends to feed that energy into the grid to match the use by electric cars sold by the BMW Group. The two companies together applied to participate in the state's Low Carbon Fuel Standard's program, which allows fuel providers to lower emissions by purchasing credits. The state program could generate five to 10 times more revenue for the dairy farm than a standard agreement with a utility buyer. The increased revenue is a key part of Mr. Straus's vision for helping local ranchers purchase and operate methane digesters, which can cost as much as $2 million; if the collaboration proves successful, he said, it will demonstrate how similar partnerships can provide a quick return on investments. Mr. Straus also plans to leverage the monies for innovation: he is developing a new type of methane digester—faster, less costly, and better tailored to ranches with fewer cows. Joseph Button, the creamery's director of sustainability, said the partnership could help reach statewide methane emission reduction goals. Dairy manure accounts for about a quarter of California's methane emissions. "This is a neat story because it allows us to accomplish our really big climate goals by addressing two of the biggest sources of emissions in the world at the same time, allowing BMW to keep transforming the carbon intensity of the transportation sector," he said. Adam Langton, the energy services manager for the BMW Group, which owns BMW, Rolls-Royce and several other brands, said an important aspect of the group's sustainability program is feeding the grid with the same amount of renewable energy as is needed to power the electric vehicles it puts on the road. His hope is that eventually all of the group's electric cars in California would be powered by dairy farms. "It's an aspiration at this point, but if it works with Albert's farm, we want to scale it up and see if we could get to 100 percent," he said. Mr. Langton said the credits the farm produces will likely be considered "negative," winning more credits than other renewable sources do for each unit of energy.

Street Art is the new Urban Renaissance of Florence

Discover the artists of the Florentine Street Art and get to know the Street Food of Florence with a guided tour of Exclusive Connection. Special 10% discount for the readers of intoFlorence.
The Florentines are very proud that, a long time ago, the Renaissance was born in their city. Everything in Florence is therefore devoted to this crucial period in European history. One might even say that Florence has remained a bit stuck in the Renaissance, thus leaving very little room for new forms of art by young contemporary artists.
In recent years a new generation of artists has emerged who have started a new Renaissance to bring art closer to the people once again. The streets of Florence and the walls of the palaces are their "canvas" and not even the street signs are safe. The artists of the Urban Renaissance strive to make the city a bit more colorful, put a smile on your face, make you think or inspire you.
Each has its own distinctive style, and once you know what to look for, you'll start spotting them all over town.
Get to know the most famous urban artists of Florence with this quick Street Art Guide.
Clet
The French artist Clet Abraham found his home in Florence, where he has his studio in the San Niccolò district. After having focused mainly on painting, several years ago he started with a very particular form of street art. Mysteriously, funny stickers started appearing on the Florentine street signs, and it soon became apparent that it was Clet who rode around town on his bike at night and decorated the signs.
This mysterious artist is only known by his alias Blub. With his project L'Arte sa nuotare (Art can swim) he depicts famous works of art and characters mainly in blue, white and black. But what makes this so unique? They all wear a diving mask and are underwater. Blub often uses the metal doors of gas and electricity meters, on which at first he painted directly, but now sticks posters of his work to because they are regularly removed.
Exit/Enter
The stylized line figurines with a red heart or balloon spring from the creative mind of the Florentine artist known as Exit/Enter. With his minimalist drawings, he brightens up your day or makes you stop and think for a moment. Exit/Enter's star is also rising outside Italy, earlier this year his work was presented at the Street Art Museum in Amsterdam.
Carla Bru
One of the few female street art artists is Carla Bruttini, better known as Carla Bru. The most famous creation that comes from her studio in the San Niccolò district is the red-haired shaman, a powerful feminine symbol, which you can find at various spots in the city.
Hopnn Yuri
The most famous work of the artist born in the Marche, are the red and white figures in Via Toscanelli. With the cycling characters, he wants to promote the use of bicycles in the city. The owner of the restaurant on the opposite side of the street is the self-declared protector of the murals.

Elisabeth besuchte Privatschulen in Basel und Genf, sowie 1913 bis 1914 die Soziale Frauenschule in Berlin. Als der Erste Weltkrieg ausbrach, nahm sie die Arbeit in der Staatlichen Hilfskommission des Kantons Basel-Stadt für in Not geratene Familien auf. Von 1915 bis 1918 leitete sie auch das Sekretariat der Hilfsorganisation Pro Juventute in Basel. Von 1916 bis 1919 war sie zudem Sekretärin von Musikschule und Konservatorium in Basel. Später begann sie eine Tätigkeit als Journalistin und schrieb unter dem Kürzel EVA Artikel.

Sie war mit Eberhard Vischer (1891–1929) verheiratet, welcher am Basler Appellationsgericht als Gerichtsschreiber angestellt war. Ihr Mann war der Sohn des Theologen Eberhard Vischer und der Bruder des Theologen Wilhelm Vischer.

Ab 1916 engagierte sie sich für das Frauenstimmrecht in der Schweiz, zunächst durch die Mitgründung der Vereinigung für Frauenstimmrecht in Basel. Ab 1920 sass sie in deren Vorstand; von 1922 bis 1935 war sie die Präsidentin der Vereinigung. Ferner beteiligte sie sich 1918 an der Gründung der Basler Frauenzentrale. Von 1929 bis 1936 war sie Vorstandsmitglied des Schweizerischen Frauenstimmrechtsverbands, von 1940 bis 1952 dann dessen Präsidentin. In der Zeit von 1935 bis 1951 gab Vischer-Alioth zahlreiche Vorträge und Kurse zur Organisation der politischen Arbeit von Frauen. Im Bund Schweizerischer Frauenvereine (BSF) war Vischer-Alioth von 1923 bis 1926 Aktuarin, dann 1949 bis 1957 im Vorstand vertreten. Ferner war sie für den BSF in dessen Gesetzesstudien- und Versicherungskommission (bis 1953) sowie in der Redaktionskommission des Pressedienstes (bis 1963) tätig. Ferner arbeitete sie aufgrund ihrer Mitgliedschaft im Kirchenvorstand auch für den Christlichen Verein Junger Töchter. 1946 organisierte sie den zweiten Kongress der IAW in Interlaken; für die IAW war sie dann noch bis 1952 tätig. 1955 war sie an der Gründung der Europäischen Frauenunion beteiligt.
