IPS, Washington Township making plans to reopen, return students to classrooms
Arika Herron
It's one month into the school year and Indianapolis Public Schools have yet to welcome students back into their buildings. But that's about to change.
The district announced Tuesday that Marion County's rate of coronavirus infections has dropped low enough to start planning for the return of in-person instruction. IPS, one of the state's largest school districts, decided in July to start the year virtually. At the time, the county's average rate of positive COVID-19 tests was around 8%.
"We have been watching our health data very closely and are excited to have seen the movement in that data," said Superintendent Aleesia Johnson. "Now it's down right at the 5% mark... so, excited to now be at a place where we can be planning for a return to in-person instruction."
IPS was one of three Marion County districts that started the year online. Pike Township Schools began bringing students back into classrooms last week. Washington Township schools also decided Tuesday to bring students back next month. Its youngest students will start returning to school Oct. 12 and all grades will come back Oct. 19.
That means that on Oct. 19, when both IPS and Washington Township reopen to all grades, all Marion County students who want to be back in school will be for the first time since the pandemic closed school buildings seven months earlier.
When it decided to start the year remotely, the district said it wouldn't return kids to classrooms until the county's positivity rate was 5% or less. The district continues to move more cautiously than guidelines set by county and state health officials, but will move more in line with suggestions from the Marion County Health Department moving forward.
IPS will use a phased-in approach to bring students back into classrooms. Starting Oct. 5, the district's youngest students – in grades pre-k through three – will be welcomed back for one week of face-to-face instruction. The next week, students will all return to virtual instruction. That week was originally supposed to be the district's fall break, but when the board revised the calendar to push back the start of the year it voted to reclaim that week as virtual instruction days.
Starting with one week of in-person instruction with a small group of students will give the district a chance to work out the kinks of the return to school buildings, Johnson said.
Starting Oct. 19, the district will welcome back students in all grades for in-person instruction. Students in grades pre-k through five will be in school buildings five days a week. Students in sixth grade and up will operate on a hybrid schedule, with half of students receiving face-to-face instruction on Mondays and Tuesdays and the other half on Thursdays and Fridays. Wednesdays will be a virtual learning day for all upper grade students.
When students are out of buildings Wednesday, the district will clean classrooms and prepare schools for the next group of children.
IPS will continue to offer a full-time virtual option for families who would like it. The window to choose that option will open Wednesday and close on Sept. 21. The district said it needs to know how many students will be returning in order to finalize plans about how to divide students among teachers, space seating in classrooms and more.
When families were originally asked to decide between in-person and virtual options in July, about 9,000 families – a little less than one-third of the district – chose the virtual option. Some may feel differently after a month of online schooling, though. Although the virtual model for IPS students is more robust now than it was in the spring, school officials said they are still struggling with attendance. Attendance has been trending up each week, according to IPS officials, but still sits around 80%.
Attendance and enrollment have been challenges for schools around the state since the restart of the school year. During a webinar for school leaders Tuesday morning, Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick said schools statewide are seeing high numbers of absences and tracking down kids who haven't shown up yet this year.
The majority of districts that have already started the year with some degree of in-person instruction have had cases of COVID-19 occur among their students or staff members. In most instances, though, schools appear to have been able to prevent a single case from turning into a widespread outbreak. It's still unclear just how widespread COVID-19 is in Indiana's schools. A public dashboard that will report that information is expected to launch later this month. IndyStar has been tracking cases since schools reopened and has recorded more than 750.
Some schools have launched their own dashboards to report positive cases and information about how many students and staff members have been required to quarantine. Johnson said IPS will do the same once students return to school buildings.
This story will be updated.

Jill Andersen Mysteries Tour and Giveaway!
Jill Andersen Mysteries Prequel
by J.D. Cunegan
Genre: SciFi Superhero Mystery
A little more than two years before the events of Bounty, Jill Andersen makes a life-altering decision. But this decision comes with consequences she didn't foresee, and her first night as the vigilante Bounty winds up being something for which she was wholly unprepared.
A crisis of faith eventually gives way to certainty: both in terms of discovering who killed a young man named Johnny Ruiz and in terms of coping with the latest change in her own life.
Along the way, Jill defies death and discovers just how deep the city's corruption runs. But will she survive the experience long enough to decide if a life of vigilantism is for her?
**only 99 cents!!**

Jill was glad the left side of her face was made of metal.
Otherwise, the shards of glass raining down around her would have hurt far more. Her face stung as it was, having smashed against the window like that. A large hand tugged on the back of her bodysuit, meaty fingers wrapped around black leather with surprising give. Jill's assailant yanked her away from the plane glass, and a gust of wind rushed onto the twentieth floor of the downtown high-rise. A flick of the man's wrist sent Jill across the room, her back slamming against the wall and a framed photograph crashing to the floor.
More shattered glass.
Jill Andersen had crawled back to her feet by the time her attacker drew close again. She ducked his left fist, which buried itself in the wall behind her. She slammed her own fist into the man's stomach, and when he doubled over, she wrapped her hands around his neck and flung him face-first into the carpet. She yanked off his black ski mask before he could get back to his feet, tossing it aside and grabbing him by the collar.
"Alright, fuckface," she growled through labored breath, "you're paying for that window."
The silver on the left side of Jill's face surrounded an infrared eye, which shone brighter than usual in the darkness of the office. She made sure the light hovered in her attacker's field of vision. His red beard was close-trimmed, his eyes impossibly blue. They were also useless, with the red light shining in his face. He reached out to wrap his hands around Jill's neck, but his aim was off and Jill's grip on him was impossibly tight.
Jill was decked out head to toe in black leather and matching combat boots, the lone holdover from her military days. A layer of silver mesh armor laid beneath the suit, and Jill wore black gloves that reached her elbows. A katana was strapped to her back, though she hoped she wouldn't have to use it. During the day, Jill was one to wear her brown hair in a ponytail, but in this outfit, having her long locks hanging down over her face seemed more fitting.
It added to the mystique, but it also helped keep her identity secret. The eyeplate on her face, which ran from her cheek to her hairline, also helped. The infrared sensor and microscopic supercomputer in her brain made all this possible, as did the titanium coating her entire skeleton.
"I know what you did," Jill said, tightening her grip. Her attacker's eyes grew wide and his legs swung when she lifted him off the floor, not unlike the way her younger brother Brian's legs used to swing off the pier whenever they visited Baltimore's Inner Harbor as children. Back in those days, Jill had always wanted to jump right into the Chesapeake Bay, but Brian had always been content to sit on the edge.
"Doesn't," the man began, cringing when Jill tightened her grip. "Doesn't matter."
Jill frowned. The man was scared, but not of her. Not that she necessarily wanted someone to be scared of her — okay, maybe just a little — but fear of the mysterious other meant things were more complicated than she thought. Still, some fear directed her way would be nice. This costume wasn't cheap, especially on her salary.
"Kill me if you want," he added. "You'll never touch him."
"I'm not gonna kill you," Jill said. "But I'm thinking whoever 'he' is might, once he finds out what went down here."
Jill Andersen Mysteries Book 1
Jill Andersen is one of Baltimore's best and brightest detectives, but she harbors a dark secret — a secret that threatens to come out when the body of Dr. Trent Roberts is pulled out of the Chesapeake Bay. Dr. Roberts' connection to Jill reveals a past that involves a tour in Iraq, a secretive cybernetic experiment, and a conspiracy that involves a native son.
Can Jill solve the case while still keeping her secret? Will her partners at the Seventh Precinct find out what she's so desperate to hide? What was Dr. Roberts looking into that led to his murder? And perhaps the biggest question of all…
Who is Bounty?
"I knew Trent was fucking lying," Blake had ignored the question, craning his neck until Jill heard bones pop. "Telling me his little science project didn't exist, yet here I stand lookin' at his greatest success."
"That why you killed him?" Jill swallowed. "Cause you knew he lied?"
Blake gritted his teeth and lunged at Jill, pushing her against the wall and grabbing her wrists to keep them — and the katana — pinned above her head. He pressed his left foot, stiff and metallic, down on her right foot, and Jill was silently glad for her skeletal reinforcements. She was looking at weeks, if not months, in a walking boot otherwise.
"If I was gonna kill Trent," Blake's lips curled into a vicious snarl, "I'd have done it a long time ago."
Gritting her teeth, Jill pushed Blake off of her, freeing her arms and swinging her blade at his hands. Blake managed to lunge just out of the way, but the katana clanged against his revolver, sending the weapon careening over the side of the yacht and into the water. Truthfully, Jill was disappointed in how easy disarming him was, rolling her eyes before twirling the blade above her head again.
"We really gonna do this?" Jill scoffed. "You can hardly move, and now you're unarmed."
Blake lunged at her again with a growl, catching her off-guard as his arms wrapped around her waist and their bodies flew past the wall separating the cockpit from the yacht's main cabin. Jill's back slammed into the steering wheel and she yelped in pain, crumpling onto the floor and losing her grip on her weapon. Blake hobbled to the katana, grabbing and tossing it into the Chesapeake Bay before snatching Jill by the back of her head, yanking on her hair and dragging her onto her knees.
"You were saying?"
Shifting all of his weight onto his good leg, Blake heaved Jill over the side of the boat, watching as she bounced off the edge and splashed into the bay. The yacht rocked with the resultant waves, and a flock of seagulls cawed in protest as they scurried off into the night because of the commotion. Blake had interrupted their late-night dinner, and the birds wanted to make sure he heard their displeasure.
As soon as she plunged into the water, Jill searched for her blade. The water was still relatively shallow this close to the pier, but the water was cloudy enough that Jill couldn't quite make out anything. She felt a current pushing against her, trying to steel her body against it so she wouldn't be pushed out too far away from the shore. Unfortunately, lung capacity was not one of Jill's many upgrades. She pushed herself back to the surface, gasping loudly when her head poked out of the water. She gasped as many mouthfuls of air as she could, wading in the suddenly choppy waters. While trying to catch her breath, Jill glanced back at the yacht — but if Blake was still there, she couldn't see him.
Who am I kidding? He's bolted by now.
With one more deep breath, Jill plunged back into the bay, swimming toward the bottom in hopes of finding her weapon. She switched on her infrared vision, because clearly the muddy waters were not doing her human vision any favors. Just as Jill was about to swim to the surface again for another helping of oxygen, she found her blade stuck in the sand at the surface. She grabbed the hilt and tugged, only to find the blade stuck. She then grabbed the weapon with both hands, trying to press her feet into the ground for leverage, but she kept losing her footing against the soft terrain. The katana wouldn't budge.
She needed to get back to the surface for air again. But Jill needed her weapon first. She tugged again, feeling the blade move ever so slightly. She tried again. Nothing.
Each tug was weaker than the last, the oxygen she'd stored up in her lungs dissipating. Jill felt lightheaded. She could see stars in front of her right eye.
Another half-hearted tug. Still nothing.
Reluctantly, Jill pushed herself back toward the surface, hoping she'd make it before finally running out of oxygen. She could see the moonlight piercing through the water, though the light actually got dimmer the closer she got to the surface. Her lungs felt like they were on fire. She couldn't feel the hand stretched out in front of her.
Finally, a splash of cold air hit Jill in the face and she gasped. She gasped so hard, in fact, that she sputtered into a violent coughing fit, her arms flapping around in the water in a desperate attempt to keep herself afloat. She gasped in as much air as she could, coughing and thrashing about. At this hour, there was no one around to help, no one around to even signal someone else for help. One more gasp of air, and Jill slipped underwater again.
For as long as Jill Andersen could remember, her father was a hero.
But heroes don't commit murder, do they? The state of Maryland said Paul Andersen did just that, three times over, and was set to execute him for it. But Jill and the rest of her colleagues at the Baltimore Police Department come across the murder of a law student that leaves her hopeful that she can clear her father's name.
While Jill and her colleagues work against the clock to clear her father's name, new players emerge, hinting to a deeper, darker conspiracy than what was previously known. An enigmatic faction known as The Order reveals itself, and the mystery surrounding Paul's alleged duplicity leaves more questions than answers.
Along the way, Jill must not only face the possibility that her father was not who she thought he was, but she must also face the prospect of her secret being revealed. The stakes are higher than ever in Blood Ties, the intense follow-up to J.D. Cunegan's debut mystery Bounty.
Can Jill save her father before it's too late? Will she even want to?
Behind the Badge
Behind the Badge, the gripping, hard-hitting third novel in the Jill Andersen series (Bounty, Blood Ties), gives readers another taste of author J.D. Cunegan's comic book-inspired brand of fast-paced prose, with chapters that fly by and plot twists that will leave readers constantly guessing and waiting for more.
It's hard to be a hero when everyone's out to get you.
Once upon a time, Jill Andersen considered herself a hero. Not just because of the badge handed to her by the city of Baltimore and the pledge she once made to protect and serve. Her secret life, as the vigilante Bounty, had allowed Jill to protect her native Baltimore in ways her day job never could.
But all that has gone to hell now. One case pushed Jill past her limits, to the point where she made choices she can't take back. As a result, the entire city is on the lookout for her. Allies can no longer be counted on. People who were once in her corner might very well be trying to bring her down… to say nothing of those she has crossed along the way.
But that is the least of Jill's problems. A shadowy figure emerges among the chaos, and his link to Jill's past has the potential to be her ultimate undoing. Jill thought every link to Project Fusion has been settled once she solved Dr. Trent Roberts' murder almost one year ago, but if she's not careful, her past might just kill her.
Behind the Mask, the gripping, hard-hitting fourth novel in the Jill Andersen mystery series (Bounty, Blood Ties, Behind the Badge), gives readers yet another taste of author J.D. Cunegan's comic book-inspired brand of fast-paced prose, with chapters that fly by and plot twists that will leave readers guessing and waiting for more.

The Canadian duo, Japandroids, has just released a new single, "No Known Drink Or Drug", from their upcoming album, Near To The Wild Heart Of Life, which comes out on Monday, January 23.
The new single by the indie rock duo is heavy with riffs, heavy drums that together create one of the best rock songs to listen to for a little pick up. The song is catchy: you can sing along by the end with their "shala-la-la-la" that are the perfect way to get anyone (even those who haven't heard the song before) to participate and raise the energy of the crowd.
The expectations for their new album are high following this single release, and hopefully Japandroids won't disappoint us.

Stewart Lochrie
Following a hugely enjoyable career in hospitality management, Stewart joined the driver training industry in 2008 and bought Caledonian LDT shortly afterwards.
"I trained with Caledonian LDT, and when the previous owner announced his retirement I didn't want to see it taken over and re-branded by one of the national schools. The vast majority of our instructors are trained in house, they're all good friends, and I'm keen to help every single one of them improve and reach their goals while continuing to deliver brilliant training across all the areas in which we operate.
At the absolute core of what we do is the certainty that skills alone do not determine a good driver. Good driving is dependent on beliefs, emotions and motivations, and our coaching approach ensures that all driving instructors and learner drivers are exposed to this approach from early on in their training."
Stewart holds the BTEC Level 4 Professional Award in Coaching for Driver Development, is an approved trainer for Tri-Coaching Partnership, and an Accredited Coach for Driver Metrics.
He has passed the DIA Special Test in driving ability. In April 2016 he completed a two-day course at Cranfield University on Driver Psychology and Behaviour, facilitated by Dr Lisa Dorn and Dr Mark Sullman.
In April 2017, Caledonian became a limited company (Caledonian Driver Training Limited), continuing to trade as Caledonian LDT. The driving school remains a family owned business.
In June 2017 he joined the Governing Committee of the ADINJC, a non-profit organisation representing the views and concerns of its thousands of ADI members across the UK.
In 2018, Stewart was invited by Tri-Coaching Partnership to deliver their flagship BTEC Level 4 Professional Award in Coaching for Driver Development to ADIs in Scotland.
In January 2019, Stewart passed his Standards Check with a Grade A, scoring 48 points out of 51.
"Stewart is a highly motivated individual, who has impressed me with his quick wit and ability to embrace knowledgeably and intuitively all challenges sent his way. He completed the BTEC Level 4 Professional Award in Coaching for Driver Development and quickly became an aCCeLerate trainer, delivering the BTEC Level 3 to ADIs in Scotland. He has run several successful courses and received high quality feedback as a result. He has gone on to qualify as a Driver Metrics Coach and will soon be delivering instructor training on behalf of Tri-Coaching Partnership. I would recommend Stewart to anyone looking for coaching and mentoring support in their chosen field." Susan McCormack – Managing Director, Tri-Coaching Partnership Limited.
" Stewart is a brilliant trainer. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to become a driving instructor. Stewart is a highly skilled coach. Very reliable and honest, a valuable asset to have in a trainer." Carol Morley – Owner, Lincs Driver Solutions.

Palestinian groups agree on truce
Deal brokered by Egypt calls for prisoner exchange and reopening of Gaza crossing.
01 May 2008 07:48 GMT
Palestinian leaders met in Cairo to discuss the deal
Israel will now be asked if it accepts the proposal.
But Israel has already rejected a similar plan from Hamas, describing it as a ploy for it to gain time to regroup.
'Some reservations'
Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera's senior political analyst, said the truce plan was "a huge step forward in terms of calming tensions between Israel and the Palestinians".
"Now, for the first time in a long time, we have a consensus across the political spectrum in Palestine that there would be a consolidation of a reciprocal ceasefire with Israel on the condition that it lifts the blockade of Gaza," he said.
Should Israel accept a truce with Hamas?
"Whatever reservations Israel has now need to be dropped, simply because Israel – at least [Israeli prime minister] Olmert's government – can no longer continue to claim legitimacy while it is occupying the Palestinian territories."
Mena, the Middle Eastern and North African news agency, reported that some of the groups still had some reservations on the plan, despite a deal being reached.
Naser al-Kafarnah, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), told Al Jazeera: "The armed groups of the Palestinian resistance movement have agreed on the Egyptian proposal.
"We at the PFLP have pointed out several points that we are not with the ceasefire in principle as long as there is an occupation.
"However, the PFLP will not launch any attacks that will affect the Egyptian proposal."
No date set
Al-Kafarnah said that no date has been set as yet for the ceasefire to commence.
However, a date could be set if Egypt manages to secure the acceptance of the deal by a majority of the Palestinian groups and presents it to the Israel.
Profile: Omar Suleiman
Amani Soliman, Al Jazeera's Middle East analyst, said: "There are three or four major groups that the talks have been going on with.
"But from these groups there are many splinter groups that are difficult to rein in ... It's these smaller groups that have agreed to this truce."
Soliman said that Hamas had been talking with the Egyptian authorities separately and agreed to a truce last week.
Up to Israel
The two deals will be taken to the Israeli authorities by the Egyptians in the next few days, Soliman said.
"It will now be up to the Israelis to agree to the deal," she said.
Israel had said that Hamas's agreement on a peace deal was simply a way for them to regroup and rearm.
But Soliman said that there was the possibility that Israel could observe this new truce as it is a short-term cessation of hostilities.
She said that because Israel is going to celebrate its 60th anniversary as a nation in the coming days, it would want peace during this time.
Gaza air raid
A Hamas activist has meanwhile been killed and three more people including a child wounded in an Israeli air raid in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, a Palestinian official said.
Nafiz Mansur, 40, was killed near his house in Rafah, according to Muawiyah Hassanein, who heads the Gaza emergency services.
Hassanein said a child was among the wounded, but did not give his age.
The Israeli military confirmed it had carried out an air raid in Rafah but gave no further details.

Call me what you will, but during car rides, I like to keep the boys on their toes. The other day I was alone with Sebastian, so we fell into a number game. We recently started playing "Slug Bug" ("Punch Buggy" for some of you) and I told him that I had dreamt about a classic Slug Bug convertible (the older style VW Beetle, which the convertible model is worth a whopping 25 slugs in our game).
One morning I told Sebastian that I had actually dreamed about a classic convertible slug bug in my sleep, and that I should get the aforementioned points.
The score is far more in his favor than that!
Kudos to dad for playing along!
Just trying to keep them on their toes….


According to the pair's former owner, Rascal was a bully and he was the one who was responsible for the wounds to Reed's neck. Not wanting to subject the adorable ginger and white kitten to further trauma, Protectors of Animals separated the siblings by placing them with different foster families.
In early 2019, Reed was diagnosed with feline cutaneuous asthenia (FCA), or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), a group of connective tissue disorders. "Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a rare genetic disorder passed from parent to offspring, which affects the levels of collagen in the body," explains Wendy.
As a result, people and animals with EDS can have a number of different symptoms, including fragile, loose, and stretchy skin that is easily damaged and ligaments that are unusually lax and prone to tearing.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or feline cutaneous asthenia (FCA) as it is known when it affects cats, can be managed in a number of different ways, including with the help of protective clothing. Because a lot injuries to cats with EDS are self-inflicted, frequent nail trimmings are exceptionally important, and in some extreme cases, veterinarians may recommend declawing as a last resort.
Determined to safeguard this incredibly cute kitten's delicate skin, the rescue's staff purchased several different outfits for Reed, some of which proved more successful than others. While Reed requires more care than the average kitten, his lax ligaments don't impact his mobility, and he — and other cats with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome — are capable of living relatively normal lives.
"Reed is still a kitten at eight months old, so he loves to run, jump, and play," says Wendy. Because of Reed's special needs, the staff at Protectors of Animals hoped to be able to find him a home with someone who has experience caring for a cat with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, such as a veterinarian or veterinary technician.
Incredibly, in late March 2018, this adorable boy caught the attention of Abby, a veterinarian who — like Reed — has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome! After their first meeting, Abby knew Reed was meant to be a part of her family, and everyone at the rescue agreed, allowing this remarkable vet to adopt this very special kitten.
Just a couple of weeks later, Reed is enjoying life in his new home, and he's bonding with mom and getting used to his new sister, a very curious and friendly Basset Hound. However, this handsome ginger and white boy is deeply missed by everyone at Protectors of Animals, the people who served as Reed's caregivers and advocates when he desperately needed someone to help him get the care he needed.
"When a diagnosis is made, euthanasia is often suggested," explains Wendy. "We were not prepared to say goodbye to Reed as a result of the EDS diagnosis. We could not give up on Reed until all avenues were exhausted." Thanks to the tireless work of the staff at Protectors of Animals, Reed is thriving in a safe and happy forever home with a mom who couldn't be more perfect for him and his unique needs.

UN Alliance of Civilizations, Istanbul Partners Forum
June 12th, 2012 | Author: Jan
The UN Alliance of Civilization (AOC) was initiated by Kofi Annan in 2005 while he was Secretary General of the UN with the joint sponsorship of Turkey and Spain, with its principal center of operations in Istanbul. It was formed under the dark skies that existed after the 9/11 attacks, and seeks to provide an alternative narrative to that of inter-civilizational war, that starkly negative scenario of Islam versus the West associated with the inflammatory views of Bernard Lewis and Samuel Huntington that continues to provide fuel for Islamophobia that burns ever more brightly in Europe and North America.
It was several years since I had heard as many references to Huntington's 'clash of civilizations' thesis as I did during the discussions and presentations at the Istanbul Forum, which was opened by speeches made by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Prime Minister of Turkey, and Ban Ki Moon, the current UN Secretary General.
The primary rationale for the AOC is to provide a 'platform' for inter-civilizational dialogue that explores differences among civilizations, but seeks to promote mutual undertstanding and respect, even affection and celebration.
The label platform has become recently popular in international circles to convey the sense of a venue that has minimal restrictions as to participation, agenda, and ideological presuppositions. It is open to all perspectives that accept some presumed core values, and tempers disagreements by insisting upon an atmosphere of civility, and by generally avoiding controversial topics of current events.
In this regard both Erdogan and Ban Ki Moon affirmed the broad idealistic goals of the AOC, but also made explicit in strong language their condemnation of the Syrian government for its role in recent atrocities committed against civilian communities, with especial reference to the shocking impact of the Houla Massacre that had occurred several days prior to these meetings.
In Turkey the AOC is taken seriously as a new dimension of continuing thought and reflection as is evident both by the establishment of a dedicated academic program at Bahçeshir University and a separate degree granting graduate institute within a new field of academic specialization identified as 'alliance of civilizations.' Its first cohort of students played an active part in the discussion periods during the Forum.
The AOC is under the administrative leadership of Jorge Sampaio, former President of Portugal, whose title is UN High Representative for Alliance of Civilizations. It holds periodic meetings on various themes in different parts of the world. I took part in the opening session of the Forum on a panel that included the philosophical founding father of the AOC, Professor Mehmet Aydin, former Minister of State, Rashi Gannushi, the head of the an-Nahda Movement that has emerged victorious in Tunishian elections, and Princess Rym Ali of Jordan, the founder of the Jordan Media Institute.
The panel was supposed to address the relevance of global politics, and relied on a Q & A format presided over by the widely admired TV moderator for Al Jazeera, Riz Khan. The session was lively, avoiding the often tedious presentation of a sequence of papers, and led to thoughtful questions posed by members of a disparate audience that included the various constituencies that are brought together by the AOC: governments, international institutions, NGOs, students, and representatives of civil society. Due to the format that I had not known in advance, I had prepared some remarks that were never presented at the session, but I did have the opportunity to make some of these points in responding to questions put to me either by Riz Khan or members of the audience.
It is a fair question to wonder whether sponsoring such events is worth the expense and effort. Skeptics say there is already too much 'empty talk.' My tentative response is affirmative. I find that the quality of such global conversations and associated secondary influences to be an essential dimension of a significant 21st century learning experience, not only or even primarily as a result of what speakers from such varied backgrounds have to say, but for the wider audience in attendance and those reached and influenced through media coverage. It is a step in the direction of creating what I described during the discussion period as an emergent 'cosmopolitan pedagogy' that is sensitive to divergent cultural styles and understandings.
At its best such pedagogy supplements knowledge with wisdom, rationality with ethics and spirituality, and couples concerns about economic development with attentiveness to injustices and environmental hazards. It is through sustaining a creative tension between the particular and the general, the diverse and the universal, as well as between the controversial and the agreed upon that a cosmopolitan pedagogy responsive to the complexities, fragilities, and interactive dynamics of the early 21st century will come gradually into being. I found the discussions at the Istanbul Forum to be valuable contributions to a process of reconstituting cultural cognition for this moment in history.
My prepared remarks are published here online for the first time, and were formulated before I had the benefit of the discussions at the Forum, and I hope are of some slight interest:
"I am grateful for this opportunity to participate in this Istanbul Forum of the Alliance of Civilizations.
As several others have undoubtedly already had occasion to mention the mission of the Alliance as one of promoting understanding among civilizations by way of an open dialogue that stresses differences, I wish to emphasize the commonalities associated with this undertaking. More than ever before in human history there is the need for peoples throughout the world to find leaders who will facilitate cooperation supportive of the shared needs of the planet. The world is faced with a series of problems of global scope that cannot be successfully addressed by governments acting alone or even by coming to agreements about cooperative arrangements based on their mutual national interests.
As the failure to act responsibly from a global perspective in relation to nuclear weaponry or climate change illustrates, the peoples of the world remain beholden to the severe limitations of state-centric world order in seeking to shape a global policy that serves the human interest, which is long-term survival and an equitable distributions of burdens.
The risks associated with the possession and deployment of nuclear weaponry and those caused by the inability to fashion a timely response to climate change depend on global policy formed to benefit the whole of humanity, now and in the future, and not just the parts as represented by the governments of sovereign states. Even a global state such as the United States acts selfishly whenever confronted by challenges that threaten its military dominance, diplomatic prestige, and its economic growth
What is particularly appealing about the AOC orientation is the replacement of states by civilizations as the primary units of analysis when thinking about world politics. Such a perspective frees us from the narrowness, egoism, and shortsightedness of nationalist thinking and tribal identities. It also underscores the crucial potential roles of religion and culture in developing an approach to global challenges on the basis of shared and universally endorsed values that draw their inspiration from the East as well as the West.
Central to this endeavor is the focus so well expressed by Jacques Derrida on what it might mean for humanity "to live together well" on this planet, a deceptively simple observation that makes a double assertion with profound implications: however we choose as a species to behave, we are destined to live together, which is the inescapable message of globalization, but the more demanding second part of the assertion is the implied encouragement to live together benevolently, that is, in peace, justice, and contentment as attainable ideals.
Unfortunately, except as abstractions, we remain mostly in the dark as to how, as a practical matter it could become possible to live, if not well, at least better together: working to achieve real peace, real justice, and real harmony, which presupposes, above all sympathy for and hospitality toward 'the other' in all the shapes and forms that human experience presents, and especially, with respect to those others that suffer and are being victimized in various ways by existing societal arrangements.
Actually, we have some sense of what such a better world would look like, but we do not have much understanding of how to make the transition from where we are to where we would like to be, and maybe the unstated purpose of the AOC is to bring discussions of such a transition into the domain of public reason, and thus less subject to dismissal as 'utopian' wishful thinking. In passing I would note that utopian thought in this period of planetary emergency deserves also to be taken seriously and may provide the world with an emancipatory potential.
The task set for this panel is to emphasize the relevance of global politics to the work of AOC. This is a difficult and speculative task although it is probably better undertaken here in Istanbul than anywhere else in the world. The Turkish political leadership over the course of the last decade has been impressively sensitive to the originality of this young century, and its relevance for the conduct of diplomacy and foreign policy.
The essence of this sensitivity has been to give substantive implementation to an awareness that the state is a part of more inclusive configurations of influence and belief — region, civilization, religion — and not on its own. That without a world government the state remains the most influential representative of the whole—species, world.
In effect, the pursuit of national interests, detached from an appreciation of such wider interests as global interests, civilizational identity, and the human interest is not only a betrayal of core values but increasingly dysfunctional for the ends served by the state itself. In the end, this is a fundamental adjustment that calls for vision, ethics, and a practical understanding of how problems can be best solved in a manner that is also mindful of future generations.
Fitting together the parts with the whole has always been a challenge to the political and moral imagination of statesmen, but the bearing of problems of global scope and the need for longer time horizons puts a premium on developing responsive modes of thought, policy, and action. It is in this respect that Turkey's foreign policy based on principled pragmatism has seemed to be a breakthrough in an era where hard power diplomacy has so often failed and the urgencies generated by interdependence tend to be downplayed even as they are acknowledged.
Against this background I think we need as soon as possible to make a conceptual leap of faith. For several centuries world order has been shaped by a preoccupation with borders and walls, along with the related idea of territorial sovereignty. Political community has been established within defended borders, and what is not bounded effectively is open for occupation or shared use. Of course, the colonial period gave a Eurocentric twist to this more general idea, but since the collapse of colonialism this state-centric manner of distributing authority and establishing order has been accepted throughout the world.
It is expressed in international law by the ideas of equality among sovereign states, by sovereign authority within the state and freedom beyond its borders as exercised in such global commons as the oceans and space. It is from this perspective that we speak of 'the freedom of the high seas.' The United Nations was organized on the basis of the legitimacy of this state-centric imagery, and its Charter reflects this orientation toward world order, although privileging some states in the procedures of the Security Council.
Identity for persons and peoples followed from this basic spatially conceived mapping of the world, giving rise to nationalism and patriotism. Nationalist ideology and citizenship became in the modern world the exclusive means for individuals and groups to be accorded protection and membership in a state, making statelessness an acute form of vulnerability, an existence without rights.
Of course, this conceptual mapping was a crude approximation of reality that overlooked many features of the manner in which this system operated: citizens were frequently helplessly vulnerable to the violence and abuse by their own state; minorities were targets of discrimination; hegemonic and imperial geopolitics encroached upon the territorial sovereignty of weaker states.
Two fundamental developments altered the descriptive accuracy and ethical acceptability of this image of world order.
First, the destructiveness of World War II highlighted by the use of atomic bombs against Japanese cities undermined the idea that war could be rationally reconciled with sovereign control over the technologies of warmaking. Secondly, the rise of human rights in the aftermath of the disclosure of the Holocaust challenged the normative idea that states were unrestricted( that is, sovereign) in their internal behavior except as restrained by the rule of law and institutions of constitutional governance.
Expressed more vividly we can say that Hiroshima and Auschwitz gave rise to a new concern with limits to complement the earlier focus on borders. This shift has now acquired an ecological dimension through the fears associated with climate change, and the failures to regulate sufficiently the discharge of greenhouse gasses. What has become evident in each of these domains is that problem-solving capabilities of a world of borders cannot address adequately the issues posed by a world of limits, whether these limits refer to political violence, sovereign authority, and the regulation of the global commons, including the world economy.
In other words, the degree to which states, and their perspectives, continue to dominate the formation of global policy has become increasingly anachronistic. It is epitomized by the construction of walls and barriers to keep unwanted people in or out, even sea walls are being proposed and some actually constructed to overcome rising sea levels associated with global warming and the prospect of maritime migrants fleeing from places that are uninhabitable due to heat or flooding.
Some states are indulging the illusion that they can escape the downsides of interdependence by establishing for their citizenry the kind of security established by affluent 'gated communities.' Similarly, the response of the United States to the 9/11 attacks was to territorialize its quest for restored global primacy by attacking Afghanistan, and then Iraq, in what should have been understood to be an essentially non-territorial conflict of global scope that gave rise to transnational policing and information gathering, but also to self-scrutiny as to whether such extremism, while adopting criminal tactics, might not have been prompted by legitimate grievances.
Such war making after 9/11 was the source of major confusions as a result of the deliberate intertwining of a worldwide counterterrorism campaign with the pursuit of global state-building, the global domination project of the American foreign policy establishment.
In these contexts, and others, we are living in a world of limits but continue to act as if we can address its challenges by acting as if the world of borders remains sufficient. Of course, in many respects our lives and destinies continue to be controlled by these spatial allocations of authority, but the state is stymied when it comes to solving the most basic challenges of the day, whether it be grasping the impacts of drone technology and cyberwar or handling the transnational ramifications of excessive sovereign debt.
Issues of scarcity relative to food, water, and energy are also emerging to pose questions about the future viability of our collective lives on the planet, and the need to think now and urgently about how to address limits in a manner that respects the dignity of persons and peoples, and also adopts a precautionary approach to sustainability and survival risks.
The preoccupation with borders in what is becoming daily a more borderless world will give rise to waves of despair as problems that could be solved if limits were agreed upon and institutionalized continue to be ignored, or at best, marginalized in the search for the right solutions for global problems.
In conclusion, we can discern the relevance of the AOC theme of civilizational discourse. Only by enlisting the wisdom, core values, and visions of civilizations, including with special appreciation those associated with indigenous peoples, have we any hope of making the necessary transition from borders to limits in our consciousness and governmental logic.
It is within the world's cultures and religions that the sense of limits is inscribed in the deepest recesses of memory and pedagogy, establishing the imperative that human endeavor is doomed unless respectful of limits, either as generated by divine authority or through the enveloping power of nature. Human tragedy, as ancient peoples well understood, is to ignore or live beyond such limits. The Greeks had a word for it: hubris, which conveyed a deep awareness that tragedy befell those who exceeded limits, however powerful and autonomous they might seem.
To learn from others is particularly crucial for the West, which has not heeded these cultural warnings, and especially the United States, that continues to project its military power and neoliberal dogma on a global scale. It means heeding this message of limits whether articulated by native peoples or by the sages of the East.
I close with some words uttered long ago by Rabindranath Tagore in his 1913 Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech: "It is the East in me which gave to the West. For is not the East the mother of spiritual Humanity and does not the West, do not the children of the West amidst their games and plays when they get hurt, when they get finished and tired, turn their face to the serene mother, the East? Do they not expect their food to come from her, and their rest for the night when they are tired? And are they to be disappointed?"
This early utterance of such inspirational sentiments was far too generous to the colonizing East and too hopeful about prospects for inter-civilizational harmony, but at the same time prophetic in reminding the children of the Enlightenment in the West that the spiritual accomplishments of the East should not be overlooked.
Of course, spirituality is embedded in all civilizations, and it is more a matter of recovering those suppressed spiritualities of the West that succumbed to a spell of secular absolutism while crafting the modern world by means of its technological prowess that proved so useful in war and economic development.

The owner of Complete Harmony contacted me just prior to Christmas as she wanted to create a candle and lip balm with her logo to retail. These would also make lovely client gift ideas. This is such a wonderful idea for a spa. The business will profit with extra retail items and as gifts to clients would have the business logo on the jar. Everybody loves a scented candle and with 40hrs of burn time this gives a good amount of positive exposure.
Two lip balms were created. One stick and one pot. Pink mica to match the labels. Just gorgeous!

The Weird, Wild Saga of Gizmondo, Part 5: Coming to America
Violence—both real and threatened—on Santa Monica Bay.

man_vs_himself
By late spring of 2005, Gizmondo founders Stefan Eriksson and Carl Freer were intelligent enough to see the sharks circling the bloody waters. Consumers thought the product was terrible, and the hype in Europe had quieted. Investors and suppliers once enamored with the duo began to have second thoughts. So the two began planning to move the operation to America. Freer requested that all company cars be returned; non-essential staff were laid off. Rumors circulated, and after they made the official announcement, Freer and Eriksson were gone to Los Angeles within a week.
Their lifestyle didn't tone down one bit, however. Eriksson bought a $3.6 million mansion at 2323 Worthing Lane,in Bel Air, and shipped over both Enzos and a black Mercedes McLaren SLR. How exactly Eriksson managed to import almost $3 million in cars that he didn't own into a post-9/11, security-heightened United States is still a mystery.
He soon added to his fleet: a black Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Porsche Techart Magnum Cayenne, a silver Porsche Roadster, a Maybach, a red Ferrari F50, a black 700-horsepower AMG CLS55, a blue BMW 750i, a black Lamborghini, one Hummer H2 and a Humvee previously owned by Arnold Schwarzenegger, loaded with 15 TVs and a $30,000 stereo system. Freer installed himself in a $5.9 million mansion next door to Eriksson's, and purchased a Gulf Jet Stream 4 and a 110-foot Palmer Johnson yacht named Brigatta. The latter soon became Gizmondo USA's de facto headquarters: a hub of much carousing, seducing and opinion altering. The duo's spending habits were hardly curtailed by Gizmondo Europe's looming collapse.
This is where the story takes another interesting pivot. Although they went to the US to ostensibly launch Gizmondo USA, sources indicate that Freer and Eriksson read the writing on the wall, had already given up on Gizmondo entirely, and had actuallygone to the US to launch another Freer-backed startup, a mobile phone company called Xero Mobile. Notably, they were still collecting salaries from Tiger Telematics.
"Gizmondo carried on paying for wages over in America, but they were actually by then working for Carl's new company Xero Mobile," claims James, who remained in the UK but was in close communications with the Gizmondo inner circle. "So that was kind of illegal, because you had a UK company that was paying another company's wages for no reason."
Then there was the yacht. Freer's $14 million Brigatta was a three-bedroom, silver-hulled beauty, fully kitted with leather seats, a bronze-and-wood dining room, jet skis, sun deck, and a huge plasma screen that rose from the floor. "It was basically a hotel on the water—it had two cooks, a captain, and two deck hands. When you were on the boat, you felt like a million dollars," recalls Anthony, who was one of the executives who moved to California. "I can disrespect those guys, but I can't say nothing 'bout the boat; it was classy as a motherfucker."
Powered by twin 2,250 horsepower engines, the bullet-colored and -shaped yacht reached speeds of 30 knots as it cruised Santa Monica Bay and the occasional voyage up to San Francisco, all without spilling a martini glass. "The yacht had about 15 guns on it, including Glocks, Uzis…anelephant gun. It was no big thing," continues Anthony in a tone that betrays his London street roots. "We'd take the boat out to Catalina, and they'd always take the guns out, throw some oil cans in the water and go crazy shooting the shit out of them." (This weapons arsenal account is verified by court documents; when Freer was finally raided in April of 2006, the LA Sheriff's department found 16 weapons onboard—12 rifles and four handguns.)
Sunday afternoon cruises in the bay with Freer and Eriksson were a routine, often savage habit. "Sometimes they'd get bored and just start shooting whatever animals they could find: seagulls, pelicans, even seals that got too close. But they'd never hit!" More than just a floating gun range, the yacht was where the duo would bring real and potential investors, prostitutes, and people who, according to Anthony, "needed a change of opinion." After all, a lot of coercion can take place three miles deep into international waters.
Swimming with Sharks
One exceptionally warm September Sunday in Santa Monica Bay, Carl Freer and Stefan Eriksson were leaning against the back rail of the Brigatta. Freer was dressed head-to-toe in Hermés, from his linen shirt down to his $150 leather flip-flops. The sun shined bright overhead, reflecting off the most consistent accessory in the Eriksson wardrobe: a thick gold chain and machine gun pendant that hung heavily around his bull neck. The two glanced back at the Los Angeles coastline pulling out of view as the yacht's twin-diesel engines sped them towards Catalina Island and the isolation of the open waters. On the boat with them were Peter Uf and "the Mikes" — two associates helping Freer launch Xero Mobile. Looking like they just stepped out of a men's hair-dye ad, Mike X dressed with all the subtlety of the title character in Mask, while Mike Y was dubbed "NASCAR" for his penchant of perennially wearing the auto racing league's garish gear.
Drinks in hand, the Mikes chatted up a couple young girls sunbathing on the deck, as was the custom on these Sunday cruises. As was also de rigueur, as soon as the boat motored sufficiently offshore they killed the engines, and Peter Uf brought out the war chest of side-arms — among them an Uzi and a couple large caliber handguns. Eriksson grabbed the Uzi and began shooting into the sky at a flock of gulls squawking a couple hundred feet to the starboard, failing to hit any of the birds despite the gun's ability to fire off 10 rounds per second. One of the Mikes teased Eriksson about his marksmanship, and everyone laughed. It was the weekend, the sun was shining, the drinks were flowing and the girls were giggling. All was right in the world of Gizmondo—at least for the moment. Then Eriksson nodded to the girls. Casually they excused themselves, grabbed their drinks and descended into the hull. A deckhand turned the music up, and also disappeared below deck.
Nonchalantly, Uf and Eriksson walked to either side of Mike X, who at this point had already knocked back numerous drinks. Uf and Eriksson lifted their handguns, put them each to one side of Mike X's head, and fired a series of shots into the water only three inches from his ears. BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
Shrieking, Mike X threw his hands on his head in shock, ears ringing from the deafening blast of the barrels. Stefan then backhanded him across the face, grabbed him by the back of the neck and pulled him to the edge of the boat. Mike Y hit the deck and covered his head with his hands, yelling, "What's going on man, what are you doing?!"
"What the fuck you trying do to us, huh? We know exactly what you're doing – you think we're that fucking stupid?" shouted Stefan in broken English. After tapping the Mikes' phones, Eriksson and Freer had discovered the Mikes were trying to sell Xero's compression technology to a competing start-up. Disloyalty was a primal sin to Eriksson.
Uf walked over to the side of the boat, casually picked up a large bucket of fish organs, blood and offal, and began throwing the chum into the water. The Mikes had seen these guys do this before: baiting sharks to come feed in the bloody water, to only then massacre them from close range with automatic rifles. Only this time, it was clear the sharks weren't that afternoon's prey.
"Who the fuck do you think you're dealing with? Do you think we're jokers?" yelled Stefan apoplectically, now red-faced and only inches from Mike X's quivering lips. "It's time for you to swim with the sharks!"
The two Mikes pleaded for mercy. Roughly, Eriksson jerked Mike X up and hung him precariously over the edge of the boat, flailing like a marionette over the reddening water. "We could dump you right now, and no one would ever see you again. Is that what you want?"
Mike X turned hysterical, his screams reaching upper octaves. Uf looked over and began laughing, pointing at his darkened crotch. "He goddamned wet himself," roared Freer, clearly enjoying himself. Below them, in the now-frothing ocean, a couple sharks began thrashing about.
"Give me one reason why we shouldn't kill you," sneered Eriksson. In his early days in the Uppsala Mafia, Eriksson had felt rage like this. One victim testified in court that Stefan had beaten him, threatened to chop off his fingers, and then stuffed a gun so far in his mouth he knocked out his front teeth. "If I throw you to the sharks nobody would ever know!"
"Sorry! I won't do it again!" screamed Mike X, begging for his life. "I still want to work with you guys, I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry! We're your fuckin' slaves!"
That was all Eriksson needed to hear. Pulling Mike X back on deck, he threw him to the ground, allowing Freer to lap up the obsequious pleading.
"This is how these guys worked: once they found that you transgressed them in any way, they held you to it for the rest of your life," notes Anthony, who in his time had seen Eriksson repeatedly pull this kind of visceral lordship over people. If they couldn't be charmed, they'd be bought, and if they couldn't be bought, they'd be broken with the threat of physical harm. And if the threat didn't work…?
The crew turned the Brigatta around and retreated back to Eriksson's Bel Air Crest mansion, where Mike X hung around for a couple days to convince them that he was still 100% committed to doing business together. On the third day he excused himself and drove home. Fearing for their lives, the Mikes fled the city and went into hiding back in their native Georgia. They vanished, and never picked up the phone again. "But it was no loss for Stefan and Carl," shrugs Anthony. "They just went out to the next mug."
As circumstances continued to spin out of control, the cocaine consumption began to skyrocket. Tune in for part six, later this week.

Natalie Wood's Bond Girl sister is now homeless
By Stephanie Nolasco, Fox News
Lana Wood became Hollywood royalty when she starred as sizzling Bond Girl Plenty O'Toole opposite Sean Connery in 1971's "Diamonds Are Forever" — but now, the sister of late actress Natalie Wood is homeless.
Inside Edition reported that the 71-year-old is staying in a motel room outside Los Angeles with her daughter Evan, her son-in-law, three grandchildren and two dogs while struggling to make ends meet.
"It's been very difficult for the kids," Wood told the televised news magazine. "They feel like they have no privacy."
Wood, who once wore glamorous gowns for a living and enjoyed fine dining in Hollywood, now shops for bargains at Goodwill and can only fit water and a few snacks in a makeshift kitchen. While Wood previously lived with Evan and their grandchildren in a rented home in California for several years, they had to move out when they couldn't afford the rent. And with no one willing to take them in, the family faced homelessness.

But the challenges didn't end there.
The site added that Evan battled Hodgkin's lymphoma and her radiation treatments permanently scarred her lungs. She breathes through an oxygen compressor and her cancer has since returned. The family's financial crisis has worsened with the growing medical bills. Wood also needs two knee replacement surgeries.
"You live in a snow globe and the world is upside down, emotional," explained Wood. "It's like the rugs have been pulled out from under you. And it's just difficult to cope with. I don't know how much more we can take."
When asked what happened, Wood responded, "Real life."
But just six years ago, Wood's life was completely different. At the time, she was living in a two-story California home and was pressing her late sister's husband, actor Robert Wagner, for answers about Natalie's sudden death in 1981 from a mysterious drowning. Authorities have since said Wagner is not a suspect and he denies any involvement in her passing.
Wagner previously spoke to Fox News about his love for Natalie.

"Natalie was such a special, marvelous woman and we found each other twice in our lives … how lucky I was," he explained. "I just had such wonderful times with her … she was just a marvelous, marvelous light. My light and the light for our children. She was just such a special person."
Wood revealed that if her beloved sibling were alive today, she would be "devastated" and would "fix" the problems she's now faced with.
Wood's friend Gregor Gillespie has recently set up a GoFundMe page in hopes of raising funds for the fallen star.
"Lana is currently packing rapidly and trying to get her belongings out of the property before the sheriff locks her out," he wrote. "She also does not have the money to put down for another house … everything is on her shoulders at the minute and nobody at Lana's age should be stuck in this position, especially after what she's been through. The stress of this for her is what worries me more than anything."
Gillespie also added that he set a goal of raising $10,000 as a means to help Lana obtain a new home for her and her family. So far, the page has raised $7,045.

Julie is a Reiki Master, holistic and nurturing esthetician, spiritual counselor, seasoned storyteller, and intuitive reader. Julie uses her decades of training in movement and voice as well as her training in spiritual psychology to listen deeply to the voices of the heart. Her intention is to invite the world's consciousness to elevate, to continually grow as both a healer and facilitator, as well as be a reminder that each and every one of us are alchemists.
These facials are an energetic clearing, a Reiki healing, a meditative journey, an intuitive reading, and an opportunity to restore your skin to clear, radiant, and glowing.
Pair your shamanic facial with microcurrent to receive deep healing. Microcurrent is gentle electrotherapy that organizes, strengthens, tones, and lifts the tissue and muscles at a cellular level. Microcurrent is an incredible alternative to fillers, botox, and face-lift surgery. This treatment also pairs beautifully with injectables, often lengthening the time between visits to the doctor. This treatment is harmless and synthesizes so well with energy work since it activates the natural intelligence of the body's own healing systems.

El metal de Britania es un tipo específico de aleación de peltre, popular por su aspecto plateado y su superficie lisa. Su composición típica es aproximadamente 92% de estaño, 6% de antimonio y 2% de cobre.

La aleación fue producida por primera vez en 1769 como "Vicers White Metal" (Metal blanco Vickers). Es dúctil y de laminación, fusión y moldeo fáciles, aunque la manera más normal de trabajarla es el repujado al torno. A partir de 1846 se comenzó a generalizar su uso como base de objetos galvanizados con plata. Una de las aplicaciones más conocidas de esta aleación es la fabricación de las  estatuillas galvanizadas con oro de los premios Óscar de la estadounidense Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias Cinematográficas.

George Orwell, en su ensayo "A Nice Cup of Tea" (publicado en el London Evening Standard el 12 de enero de 1946), afirma que la tetera de metal de Britannia "produce té de inferior calidad" al producido en teteras de porcelana.

Tim McGraw is fast approaching the Aug. 21 release date for his 15th album, Here on Earth. That said, his wife, Faith Hill, and three daughters decided to make this particular album (put out in a peculiar, to say the least, year) one for the family memory books.
We can all relate, Luke.
While it may have seemed to the TV-watching audience that American Idol pulled off its remote episodes (filmed during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year) without a hitch, Luke Bryan has something to say about the actual bit of havoc that went on behind the scenes.
As he revealed to Kelly Clarkson during a recent appearance
"We set up big TV screens and monitors and stuff like that, " he told Clarkson. "But the problem was that Lionel [Richie], Katy [Perry] and Ryan [Seacrest] live in L.A. Like, all of their Internet is fiber-optic Internet. It's like, we used to think dial-up was fast! I live 25 minutes south of Nashville, and our Internet was holding up [everything]...it was creating problems.
"We had this dude in a satellite truck come out, he could not even come inside, he had to sleep in his truck, " he added. "We had to get him a Porta-Potty....this was at the height of COVID. It was the only way we could get good Internet connection!"
Maren Morris has been delighting fans with adorable pics of her fast-growing infant son, Hayes Andrew, since his birth in March of this year. She and husband Ryan Hurd have been candid about the unusual nature of giving birth during a pandemic/quarantine situation — but she now coming forth with discussion of how difficult the birth was, with hopes that other mothers will feel able to share their feelings as well.
Maren had a 30-hour labor that resulted in a C-section, and none of it was what she had expected in terms of a birth experience.
"I wanted to do it naturally, but I stopped having contractions, and it was just time to call it, and get him out safely," Morris details, but added that she had not prepared for the possibility of the procedure. "I didn't read up on any of that ahead of time, because I didn't expect to get one. So I just wish I had done a better job at preparing myself for the shock of a C-section, because the postpartum of a C-section is so brutal."
The singer says that she felt "really isolated, really lonely," as a result, and thinks that a lot of other new mothers must feel this way as well. She hopes that the subject will become be more widely discussed so women can share their experiences.

Just in time for Halloween, OBJ presents a roundup of spider and web jewelry. We found dozens of bejeweled creepy-crawlers available online, from all periods of jewelry history.
Collectors of spider brooches, necklaces, bracelets and earrings don't necessarily view them as seasonal; they wear them all year 'round. Many consider the spider jewel to be a symbol of good fortune, especially when received as a gift.
Following the recent revival of the brooch as a must-have fashion statement, Christie's presented several brooches at its October 20 Important Jewels sale in New York. Among the highlights was a whimsical diamond and kunzite spider signed by the iconic American designer David Webb.
Estimated at $30,000 to $50,000, the pink spider brooch fetched $77,500.
Lot Description: Diamond and Kunzite Spider Brooch by David Webb. From the Collection of a Distinguished Lady. Designed as a circular and baguette-cut diamond flexible spider, centering upon a cushion-cut kunzite, 4 1/2 ins., mounted in platinum. Signed Webb for David Webb, with Certificate of Authenticity from David Webb.
This Native American bracelet from the 1960s features turquoise with unusual gold flecks. Available on 1stdibs via Park Avenue Couture, it is designed "as if a spider were weaving a web on your cuff." Price: $1,350.
As described on 1stdibs: "This large 14k Pink Gold Spider form Brooch encrusted with Diamonds, Sapphires, Rubies is over the top…amazing quality and design. Marked for Russian silver with a 56 hallmark. Condition excellent. 20th century." It is offered by Stephen's Antiques, Inc. for $12,600.
Harry Bertoia (1915 – 1978) is considered one of the preeminent American sculptors of the mid-20th century. He worked in many media including graphic art, furniture, outdoor sculpture, and jewelry.
Bertoia designed the "Spider Web" pendant in the 1940s using silver thread spun around an ebony canoe-shaped form. The ebony is highlighted by silver beads of differing sizes, adding to the pendant's abstract design. On hold at 1stdibs; price unavailable.

S-Squared Inc. Prints 500-Square ft. House Within 12 Hours
Home / News / S-Squared Inc. Prints 500-Square ft. House Within 12 Hours
With the recent advancements in construction printing, we're seeing major speed improvements, especially for residential construction technologies. From WASP building a house in roughly 10 days to Be-More-3D creating the basic structure of a home within a day. Now, New York-based S-Squared is touting the ability to build a 500 square-ft house in under 12 hours. Not only does this display remarkable build-speed, the project has also built the largest 3D printed house yet.
The company originally introduced their Autonomous Robotic Construction System (ARCS) in December 2018. They say it's capable of reducing costs by as much as 70% compared to traditional construction methods and have demonstrated that it can complete homes in mere hours. Moreover, the company is also pushing it s an eco-friendly solution to the housing crisis.
"The company's executive committee looks forward to expanding the projects from 500 ft² to more than one million square foot builds," S-Squared stated. "While 3D printing a home with ARCS's is done virtually autonomously, there is the exciting phase where customization of the home can be left to the buyer's imagination. Some might prefer typical cookie-cutter homes and others may have aesthetic ambitions. We are in a new age of construction safety and cost-efficiency with this revolutionary 3D printing machine."
S-Squared & 4D Construction
S-Squared 4D Commercial is a sub-division of S-Squared 3D Printers Inc. that successfully developed a state-of-the-art eco-friendly concrete printer. The technology can build homes at the exact specifications that users input and produce all kinds of houses. Despite displaying a feat of residential construction, the company also has wider ambitions, setting their sites on "roads and bridges, and everything in between".
The ARCS 3D printer is, currently, still patent-pending. It's an interesting way to build houses in that, according to the company, ARCS relies on the same current as a standard hair dryer and uses less than ten gallons of fuel to build a house. The company also claims that it could build houses in developing countries for as low as $2,000 and that the ARCS system is easily transportable (at least comparing to other construction printers). They also claim that the houses have the potential to withstand "hurricanes, tornadoes and virtually any act of God".
There are still some crucial questions that remain unanswered. As of yet, it is still unknown whether the house passes all the housing standards safety requirements. There is also little known about how extensive the house is and what amenities it still needs. Additionally, it is unknown whether their eco-friendly concrete mixture holds up in different environments. Still, this feat of construction is a remarkable case study in high-speed, low-cost building. The company may have something solid in their grasp after they've passed the standard checks and inspections.

The first half of the World Cup Season is over and Team Kripps gave it a strong finish.
Dec. 18, 2013 5:00 a.m.
After placing 12th in the first heat of the four-man event in Lake Placid today, they then blew back with the sixth fastest second heat and placed ninth overall, 2/100ths second behind eighth.
The day before, the bobsledders braved -28C weather to compete in the second of the two-man World Cup events.
Team Kripps laid down two consistent solid runs and placed eighth, which is the same result they achieved on Friday's two-man event.
These results put Team Kripps in a very good place to start the second half of the season in Winterberg Germany on the first weekend in January.
Team Kripps is now ranked in the top 10 in both two-man and four-man and are ahead of Canada 1 in the four-man. This means Team Kripps becomes Canada 2 for the second half of the season in the four-man event, Team Spring will become Canada 1 and Team Rush (bronze medalists from the Vancouver 2010 Olympics) will become Canada 3.
Final designations will be made according to accumulated scores at the end of the season in late January.
The team will be in Germany on Dec. 28.

While the AP reports after this game led with headlines for Gonzaga's leading scorer (Josh Heytvelt) and rebounder (Micah Downs), there was absolutely no question who was the key to the humiliating blowout St. Mary's suffered. Gonzaga shooting guard Matt Bouldin has begun to shoulder a big portion of his team's ball-handling responsibilities, and the Zags' offense has never looked better in turn. Bouldin picked apart St. Mary's defense all night with a series of pick and roll plays and bounce passes—racking up 7 assists but only 0 turnovers. His court vision and basketball IQ was on full display, as was his perimeter shooting. He knocked down three of five attempts from beyond the arc. Bouldin has finally become the lights out shooter many expected him to develop into when he first stepped foot on Gonzaga's campus with his picture perfect stroke—he's making 44% of his 3-pointers this season on five attempts per game. His efficiency numbers are up across the board this season while his scoring rate is up. His assist to turnover ratio now sits near a sparkling two-to-one mark, a big improvement over last season. It will be interesting to see how Gonzaga performs in the NCAA tournament—they missed out on picking up some high-quality wins in their very demanding out of conference schedule, but look to be on a terrific roll now, having won their last nine straight games.
Bouldin looks like a freshman, but plays with a poise that most grizzled veterans could only pray for. His stoic demeanor is a calming presence to his teammates, and the perfect contrast to one-speed backcourt mates Derek Raivio, Jeremy Pargo, and Pierre-Marie Altidor Cespedes.
While Raivio and Pargo handle many of the point guard duties, it is fairly clear that the freshman will end up spending a lot of time handling the ball. He doesn't have prototypical point guard explosiveness, but makes up for by checking in at 6'5 and rarely struggling with freshman decision making foibles. Bouldin is a truly special passer, making sportscenter-worth plays look easy by consistently identifying and taking advantage of holes in the defense.
Once billed as much more of a shooting specialist, this tag would still be accurate if not for his emergence as a floor general. He gets good elevation and has a crisp release, seemingly comfortable shooting with a hand in his face. Though talented enough to demand his fair of shots, Bouldin is content to fit in with the flow of the offense and make his teammates better - to the point of being too unselfish. But then Bouldin will remind you he is on the court with an emphatic slashing or mid-range scoring move.
In today's NBA, Brandon Roy-Deron Williams mold guards are only going to become more sought after. Bouldin could become a poster boy for this new trend, displaying all the well-rounded characteristics sought after by GM's building modern systems. He is a dynamic point guard, but looks just as special off the ball.
Bouldin doesn't come with the pedigree of some of his freshman classmates, but surprisingly few 2006 newcomers appear to be on Bouldin's level as a prospect. The freshman could use a summer in the training room, but there is very little to dislike here. He is a first rounder whenever he decides to come out, but could lead the 'Zags to new heights should he stick around for a couple of seasons.

Wonderful! Where would you say that you draw most of your inspiration from? I really love the idea of re purposed items that come together to make art. Well done, friend!
Glad you liked it , hmmm did you mean where do I get the idea to turn scrap in to art ? Or take inspiration from like a person or site ? As a child I'd played with a lot of lego building blocks , where I'd mix and match materials from different sets to make separate new things .
