Plunket's submission is based on an understanding of health and well-being informed by Te Whare Tapa Whā model. The four dimensions of well-being, Taha tinana (physical health), Taha Wairua (spiritual health), Taha whānau (family health), and Taha hinengaro (mental health) are equally important to the well-being of tamariki/children and their whānau and family.
That is how Ashleigh feels about the Papakura Supported Playgroup, where she takes her 15-month-old daughter Hannah up to four times a week. "I started coming after the Plunket Nurse told me about it and thought it would be good for me to go along as I was at home a lot of the time and feeling overwhelmed with Hannah.
Plunket volunteers are making a difference in communities across New Zealand each day, by being there to support new babies and their families. Plunket Trust Chair Christine Lake says National Volunteer Week provides an opportunity for Plunket to recognise and thank its 1300 volunteers for the amazing work they do. Christine joined Plunket as a volunteer in 2000 to meet people and she still volunteers for Plunket, now in a governance role.
Community consultation (7 – 25 June) begins today to help Plunket better understand the needs of Karori families with children under five years old. Radha Balakrishnan, Plunket's Chief of Strategy and Performance, says the consultation is an opportunity to hear from hundreds of young families in Karori - so Plunket can be sure it is delivering the services they need most. The future of Plunket's Karori Crèche will be part of the conversations and consultation.
Plunket CEO Amanda Malu says the Child Poverty Reduction Bill is a significant and welcome step in eliminating the devastating impacts of child poverty.
Speaking at today's Select Committee hearing on the Bill, Ms Malu said it did not go far enough in recognising the importance of the wider 'village' to a child's well-being and the vast disparities for some groups of children, particularly Māori tamariki.
"Plunket sees first-hand the damage done to a child when they grow up in a family and community experiencing poverty.
Plunket is encouraging all pregnant women to get immunised against both whooping cough and influenza. Immunisation Week (30 April – 6 May) this year is all about immunisation from pregnancy onwards. "Immunisation is an important tool in preventing the spread of disease and it's free", says Dr Jane O'Malley, Plunket's Chief Nurse.
The recent wintry blast has signalled that winter is not far away, and Plunket is reminding families that now is a good time to get prepared and stay alert to the dangers from heaters, fireplaces and other sources of winter warmth. "We always advise parents and caregivers to remember the 'heater-metre rule'. "Heat can build up quickly so keep heaters at least one metre away from bedding, curtains, clothing and furniture and other flammable items," says Sue Campbell, Plunket's National Child Safety Advisor.
"We've heard a wide variety of views, ideas and questions following our decision to no longer provide early childhood education in Karori. Some members of the Karori community understand why we've made this difficult decision and others feel it should stay to serve local families. "With over 700 Karori families currently using a wide variety of our services we think it's important we get the broadest view possible of the needs in this community.
People are talking about Plunket this week and we understand some people are wondering what we are doing. We want to assure New Zealanders that hundreds of dedicated Plunket staff and volunteers up and down the country are doing the same thing today that we've been doing for over 110 years – looking after families at one of the most critical and special times of their lives. We continue to do this and our Plunket nursing service is not changing.
Tonight One News ran a story regarding Plunket's decision to close our Karori crèche and also included mention of our ongoing work with the Culverden community regarding a Plunket property. The story suggested that Plunket was taking or selling the Culverden building. This is not the case.

Beyond the Bear: How I Learned to Live and Love Again After Being Blinded By a Bear
Dan Bigley and Debra McKinney. Lyons, $22.95 (224p) ISBN 978-0-7627-8455-4
In 2003, outdoor-loving Bigley nearly lost his life in a savage bear attack in Alaska, the gory details of which are difficult to read. The animal not only bit but actually chewed on Bigley's head. The horrific injuries, which claimed his eyesight, required multiple surgeries to repair. This moving memoir of his experiences, coauthored with journalist McKinney, is more about Bigley's emotional recovery and beyond-impressive triumph over adversity. Although his very survival was in doubt after the mauling, Bigley manages to weather the painful aftermath and the blow of learning that his sight is gone forever, thriving in the end. He completed a master's program in social work with straight-A grades, and now works as a director of therapeutic foster care, overseeing 60 homes. The woman who was his girlfriend at the time of the attack is now his wife, and mother of their two children. Readers will appreciate Bigley's inspirational and well-written story.

MALCOLM OASTLER AUSTRALIAN CHAMPION AGAIN!
Despite knocking a corner off his OMS early in the weekend Malcolm Oastler went on to take out the 2016 AHCC. Second place was claimed by Brett Hayward (Hayward 014) just 0.39s in arrears ahead of Greg Ackland (Ninja GA8).
NSW was well represented with over twenty NSW regulars making the trip to Morwell, in Gippsland. Dean Tighe (NSW champion elect) took fourth outright in his Dallara/Judd with Ron Hay (Synergy Dallara) taking out ninth outright.
A photo wrap of major placegetters and NSW contingent is attached.


The new iPad Mini is powered by the same chip that powers the iPhone XS and XR - Apple's A12 Bionic processor - and features an improved Retina display and slightly better selfie camera. It also works with the Apple Pencil now, but only the first-generation model, and not the slick, newer version that was announced with the new iPad Pros.
The iMac still comes in two display options - 21.5-inch Retina 4K, or 27-inch Retina 5K - but now you can configure your computer with 6- and 8-core processors, which should greatly improve performance. Apple also updated the graphics processors, too.
An AirPower release feels imminent based on all of the information out there, especially since Apple won the trademark for the name earlier this week, but we wouldn't be surprised to see Apple push the release date a little further out - perhaps all the way to September, when the company typically unveils new iPhones, which support wireless charging.

In this super interesting write-up, we are going to discuss Why Bitcoin or any other similar cryptocurrency cannot be used as a real, general use currency in our day to day lives?
Why can't it be real money? Is it just because the people sitting up the ladder, making big finance related decisions don't want that or are there any technical limitations with crypto coins?
It's been 10 years since bitcoin made its grand entry in the payment space. And in my view, it's good enough time for a tech or an idea to make its mark.
Bitcoin soared upto approx. 20K $ but only for once. And then kind of had a steep fall. And it's been lying low ever since.
Lemme list down the reasons which I think are kind of primary why bitcoin is not the real money in today's world?
Imagine a scenario, where I own a cafe & sell a coffee mug for 4$. I start accepting Bitcoin as a mode of payment & convert 4$ into X Bitcoins wrt to Bitcoin Dollar conversion rate at that point in time.
Just for the sake of understanding, let's say 1 coffee mug is 1 bitcoin.
I sell 100 coffee mugs in a day, earn 100X Bitcoins which should be worth 400$s.
But since Bitcoin is highly volatile & is in the state of continual fluctuation it goes down by 20%.
I convert 100X Bitcoins to Dollars & to my shock I get only 320$s in return. I have a loss of 80$ in a day. What if I cashed Bitcoins after a month?
There is no regulation over the price fluctuation. It has the capacity to move at a crazy rate wiping off all the money off the investor's account.
Had I been using the regular dollar currency. The transactions would be pretty consistent.
This is why regulating bodies in Stock markets put a circuit limit on the stock price movement for a day. There is a limit to which a price can fluctuate to minimize investor's loss.
If you are aware of the blockchain tech, you would know that it' has a decentralized design. That means multiple nodes are instrumental in the network when a transaction goes through.
Which adds latency to the transactions. The transactions are comparatively slower than the regular Paypal or Visa payments. Also, there is a high chance of transaction failure & a price fluctuation while the transaction is going through.
The additional transaction network costs go as high as 7 to 8$, which again is too high in comparison to the regular money wire.
This is one of the reasons Stripe stopped accepting payments via Bitcoin.
A Bitcoin transaction involves some serious CPU intensive computations which require pretty powerful hardware.
If you've ever mined Bitcoin, you would know that to compete with other miners we need to set up pretty solid hardware to process the transactions at a quick pace & make good bucks. The transactions in a blockchain network are prioritized according to the hardware capabilities.
This kind of hardware consumes quite an amount of energy to run. Now since Bitcoin is a global currency imagine every single one of us making transactions via Bitcoins. I can't even fathom the energy requirements a global bitcoin ecosystem would have.
What about the countries with not so good infrastructure? How are they gonna handle the payments?
Also, this kind of setup would require more machines, more data centres. More data centres, more heat. More heat, environmental disaster.
Hacking attacks – Ctrl + Shift + Deleting the crypto from the wallet. Everything is online. No hard cash. Just like in movies, one press of a button & Whoosh… all our money gone.
Fraud Crypto Products – Since, the advent of crypto, a lot of companies have come up with fancy whitepapers & making you rich instantly promises to lure the investors into pouring money into their product just to disappear with everything to a far-off remote island.
The thought of having a universal currency with no middle-man & the control going out of the hands of the government seems exciting but things are not that straight forward. Sometimes, we do need some kind of regulation, someone to watch over to curb illicit activities.
Also, countries allowing crypto have set up regulations & regulatory bodies to oversee money going in & out to prevent frauds, money laundering, crime etc.
There Is a limit to the number of Bitcoins that can be whipped up, as per the core design. What if we need more currency? What do we do? Change the protocol, generate more Bitcoins? Move to a different currency?
For now, Bitcoin is more of an asset, something to be used alongside the real government stamped currency, as opposed to being an autonomous currency.
But all these reasons does not mean other products built on the blockchain, the underlying tech, cannot be used in our everyday lives. But this is a discussion for another write-up.
This is pretty much it on why Bitcoin cannot be used as real money. I would love to know your views on this.

Che Guevara statue in Venezuela torn down
20 Oct, 2007 by Cassy Fiano
Hugo Chavez continues to plunge Venezuela deeper and deeper into moonbattery, draining Venezuela dry of every resource it possesses. Chavez is apparently using Cuba as his model of how a country should be run. The newest example of this was a monument built in honor of Fidel Castro's chief executioner, Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
Less than two weeks later, it was toppled and shattered.
A glass monument to revolutionary icon Ernesto "Che" Guevara was shot up and destroyed less than two weeks after it was unveiled by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's government.
Images of the 8-foot-tall glass plate bearing Guevara's image, now toppled and shattered, were shown Friday on state television, which said the entire country "repudiated" the vandalism.
The monument on an Andean mountain highway near the city of Merida was unveiled Oct. 8 by Vice President Jorge Rodriguez and Cuba's ambassador to Venezuela to mark the 40th anniversary of Guevara's death.
Chavez venerates Guevara as a model socialist for all Venezuelans. He named a state-funded adult education program "Mission Che Guevara," and murals of the iconic revolutionary have become a common sight in Venezuela.
Police said they had yet to identify those responsible. The Venezuelan newspaper El Nacional published a copy of what it said was a flier found by the monument signed by the previously unknown "Paramo Patriotic Front."
"We don't want any monument to Che, he isn't an example for our children," the flier read. It called Guevara a "cold-blooded killer" and said the government should raise a monument in Chavez's hometown of Sabaneta, in the nearby lowland plains, if it wants to commemorate the Argentine-born revolutionary.
The local mayor, Jesus Maria Espinoza, suggested the vandals came from elsewhere.
"We can't tolerate people from outside … damaging something that was unveiled with so much happiness, with so much enthusiasm that day," Espinoza told state television.
Interesting how a commemmoration of Che Guevara caused so much "happiness" and "enthusiasm".
I'm going to let Che himself describe just who and what exactly he was:
Go ahead and try them tomorrow morning — but execute them NOW!
In fact, if Christ himself stood in my way, I, like Nietzsche, would not hesitate to squish him like a worm.
We don't need proof to execute a man. We only need proof that it's necessary to execute him. A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.
From his Motorcycle Diaries:
Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl!
And this, unsurprisingly, is who Hugo Chavez (along with liberals, of course), loves to idolize.
Happily, it appears that there are some Venezuelans still willing to stand up against this madness — not everyone is choosing to join the "revolution".

The Newest Fuel Cell Vehicle Debuts At The 2006 Los Angeles Auto
December 2006 (Medialink) -- Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV's) are slated to be all the rage for the future and may revolutionize on-road transportation in the next few years. This new emerging technology has the potential to significantly reduce energy use and harmful emissions, as well as our dependence on foreign oil. The first Fuel Cell Vehicle with a radius of 250 miles at the largest distance to date at is debuting at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show for the first time, supporting that FCV's are sustainable as a viable technology. Fueled with pure hydrogen gas onboard in high-pressure tanks, they can also be fueled with hydrogen-rich fuels; such as methanol, natural gas, or even gasoline. Previously, FCV's only worked efficiently in warm weather, but this latest technology starts easily even at temperatures as low as minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit, making it accessible for everyone anywhere. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produced for DaimlerChrysler

New Technology Improves Vehicle Crash Tests
For decades automakers have researched crash safety with controlled experiments. And the use of seat belts, airbags, and roll cages have all dramatically improved occupant safety. Until now, real world crashes were too unpredictable and therefore difficult to gather accurate information from. Safety researchers trying to reconstruct injuries in a crash have had to rely on engineering estimates of collision velocities and vehicles motions, before, during and after the collision to make dynamic assessments. But now, improved vehicle technology is making it possible to study actual crashes. A new partnership between The University of Michigan Medical School and OnStar is working to collect crash and injury information from specific vehicle crashes. Acting as an eyewitness, OnStar's Advanced Automatic Crash Notification transmits the crash severity, number of airbags deployed and location of the vehicle to an adviser, who passes that information along to first responders. With the permission of the owners and occupants the medical information, histories and x-rays are gathered and combined with the vehicle information to get a greater understanding of why injuries occur. This new research tool has the potential to improve emergency medical response techniques and improve vehicle safety. Produced for General Motors

Ms Wood is due to launch a nationwide roadshow in Cardiff which will see Plaid consult on policies it will put forward in the run-up to next May's Assembly election.
'We were meant to see new beginning for our country'
She will say the time has come to end Labour's "managed decline" of the economy and public services, and will highlight what she claims are shortcomings in the Welsh Government's handling of the economy, education and health.
RELATED: Leanne Wood says Labour has failed Wales but refuses to rule out a Labour-Plaid coalition
Ms Wood is expected to say: "It is almost 17 years to the day that Wales voted tentatively for the most modest measure of self-government.
"The period that followed was one of great optimism for Wales. An era of collective self-belief emerged. We were meant to see a new beginning for our country.
'Greatest missed opportunity'
"It was not only meant as symbol of empowerment, but a vehicle of delivery. Yet the last 16 years have amounted to a wasted 16 years.
"They have been the greatest missed opportunity in Wales' modern history."
Ms Wood will say that a change in government from next May is vital and she will add: "People's expectations have not been met but Plaid Cymru can reverse that. A Plaid Cymru government can restore confidence in our nation.

"May next year is Wales' second chance - for people, for communities, for public services, for our economy.
'Bereft of ambition, out of ideas'
"It is political leadership that has failed people in this country. It is political leadership that has turned devolution from a burning beacon of hope into the damp squib that it has become.
"They said there'd be clear red water; instead we got a stagnant swamp. Bereft of ambition, out of ideas."
Ms Wood will ask people across the country a simple question: "Is this as good as it gets for Wales?"
She is expected to focus on Labour's record in health, education and the economy and will add: "Wales today suffers average wages 15% lower than the UK as a whole.
'Do patients deserve to be treated as second class citizens'
"Do people in Wales deserve to earn just 85p for every pound earned elsewhere in the UK?
"Wales today has 25,000 more patients waiting longer than 36 weeks for NHS treatment than four years ago. Do patients here deserve to be treated as second class citizens?
MORE: Leanne Wood: "It's not my intention to prop up any other party in Government"
"Wales' children today are being failed with our country languishing at the bottom of the UK literacy and numeracy league table. Are our children not deserving of the best start in life?"
She will conclude by saying: "If you share Plaid Cymru's view that this just isn't good enough, then be part of the change Wales needs."
'Attacks are poor excuse for a campaign'
Responding to Ms Wood's comments, a Welsh Labour spokesman said: "Plaid Cymru are a party going backwards, devoid of ideas and these tired old attacks are a poor excuse for a campaign.
"Last week, we saw one of Plaid's most prominent members, Ron Davies, soundly beaten by the Welsh Labour candidate in a council by-election.
"There is a clear choice for people in Wales next year, between Welsh Labour's vision for a confident, fair and prosperous Wales and the narrow nationalism and economic illiteracy of Plaid Cymru.
'Thanks to Welsh Labour, Wales has made huge strides'
"Leanne Wood's comments will leave many people scratching their heads. Not only does she seem to forget entirely the four years her party served in coalition government, but her comments are completely out of step with people's own experiences.
"Thanks to Welsh Labour in government, Wales has made huge strides.
"Unemployment is falling faster here than in the UK as a whole because our support for small business and our work bringing large employers to Wales and securing record inward investment.
"Only Welsh Labour will take on the Tories. It is telling that Plaid Cymru yet again seem unable or unwilling to take on the party that has slashed Wales' funding and attacked our most vulnerable communities.
"Wales won't forget that Plaid Cymru have tried before to get the Tories into power in the Assembly."

The Yamaha TRX850 is a sports motorcycle with a 10-valve DOHC 849 cc 270° parallel-twin engine. First released in Japan in 1995, a version for the European market was available from 1996 to 2000.

Design and development

The TRX has a half fairing, clip-on handlebars and mildly rear-set footrests. The front forks are conventional telescopics, and the rear suspension is a rising-rate monoshock unit. Effectively a factory-built café racer, there is meagre provision for a pillion passenger.

The TRX engine was derived from that in the Yamaha TDM850, but the TRX is lighter, lower and sportier than its TDM stablemate. The engine has five valves per cylinder, three inlet and two exhaust; the inlets are 26mm, exhausts 28mm. Unusually for a dry sump design, the oil tank is not remote, but is integral to the engine, sitting atop the gearbox. This simplifies manufacture, avoids external oil lines, and gives faster oil warm-up. The shallow sump allows the engine to be sited lower, for an optimal CG position. The 360° crankshaft of the original TDM was changed to a 270° crankshaft in 1996, after which time the TRX and the TDM shared the same engine and transmission.  The engine has a balance shaft to smooth out residual vibrations.

In 2000 Yamaha stopped making the TRX, while the TDM series, enlarged to 900cc, remained in production until 2011.

Reception
The TRX was designed to compete in the market with the Ducati 900SS V-twin, whose tubular trellis frame it mimicked. Although developed cheaply from Yamaha's "parts bin", using a TDM850 engine, the TRX performs well and has "a coherent identity of its own".

In Motorcycle News (MCN) said the TRX was "the best-kept secret in motorcycling" and a "forgotten gem", comparing it to the 270° Norton Commando 961. In 2014, Steve Cooper said it is, "Very much the thinking man's sports bike, this slightly oddball twin is beginning to reach cult status and for good reason".

Despite being considerably cheaper than the Ducati, the TRX did not sell well, and production ceased in 2000 with no obvious successor. Although manufacturers have occasionally adopted the parallel-twin format for high-performance sportbikes, (such as the 2004–2007 MZ 1000S and the  Métisse Mk5),  MCN reported that parallel twins were attracting fewer buyers. Compared to V-twins, parallel twins have fewer components and cost less to manufacture, driving a renewed interest, especially 270° crankshaft twins. Although Visor Down was doubtful, saying, "They're never going to be as popular as inline-fours, they'll never be as iconic as a V-twin, and they'll never have the exotic feel of a triple...".  the parallel-twin layout is having something of a revival: the latest Honda Africa Twin is a 270° parallel-twin rather than the earlier V-twin incarnation; and the best-selling Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 has a 270° crank.

The 270° crankshaft

Although the 270° crank concept has been attributed to Vincent Motorcycles' Phil Irving, the TRX was the first production motorcycle to have this design. The 270° crank has an ignition sequence and an engine balance that yields something of the feel of a V-twin. Unlike 180° and 360°  parallel-twins, a 270° engine in motion never has both pistons stationary, so its flywheel momentum is continuous. With less vibration than a 360° crankshaft, and a more regular firing pattern than a 180° crankshaft, a 270° crankshaft results in a smoother engine.

Stuart Wood, Triumph's chief engineer, said that a 270° crank was ideal for large-capacity parallel twins, as it "generates fewer of those irritating high frequency secondary vibrations".  Since the TRX's demise, the 270° concept has emerged as a successful compromise for standard and cruiser motorcycles.

Owners' modifications

Because of its "parts bin" heritage, some of the TRX's components were barely sufficient for the bike's intended café racer role. As a result, few TRXs remain standard. The most common owner modifications are: race cans to replace the very heavy OE silencers; "Blue Spot" front brake calipers to replace the OE units which lacked power and feel; and braided brake lines to improve the braking.

The creativity of this Jávea born artist, and with it his subconscious, was awoken by complete chance, through instilling life into cold cast iron, at the same time opening the eyes of the public at large. At the foot of the sheltering and magical Montgó, next to a road visible to passers-by, Marí's art, which stems from a deep need, was born, thanks to a chance encounter. And, through his art, the eyes of the people of Jávea have been opened, first to the most primitive feelings –through sculptures of animals, then to the personality –through iron giants, apparently moving, but empty inside; and now probing the sky and the sea, in search of the soul, which will soon be found in a far away place…, inside our own self.
Toni Marí attempted to give life to metal and wood from the age of five years, although his small hands could not catch up with his imagination. Marí remembers how once he took a mouse trap made of wire, and as he tried to free its soul, he imagined a horse –a passionate spirit with a dominant personality-, although this first attempt never quite took on the desired shape.
Years passed, and Marí's artistic expression was exercised through paper, pencils and wood. When he began to work for a blacksmith, at the age of 14, the fascination he felt for the malleability of forged cast iron allowed him to express all he had inside –and eventually, after overcoming more primitive impulses, to continue the search for his soul.
His first figures were small bulls –which symbolize creative energy trying to escape - but he kept them for himself. Then suddenly one day, about 14 years ago, in a casual conversation at the door of his workshop, the master builder Ángel Palencia asked Mari if he liked the little plaza that had just been built next door. Marí said "no, because it needs a sculpture". It was that casual comment which would change the course of his entire life.
Afterwards, the architect Julio Sela ordered a sculpture, and Marí made a small donkey –which symbolizes patience, and also success. The animal never reached its original destination. It was not the right place or the right time. Another architect from Valencia , Jiménez de la Iglesia, saw the small donkey and wanted it for himself. Still the small equine was not for sale, so he asked Marí to make him a goat -symbol of dreams and whims.
The donkey finally ended up in the port area of Jávea, and was enjoyed by tourists who wore down his little back and ears, while it stood passively in front of the criticism of some of the neighbours. Then came the day when the headlines in the local newspapers read that a "strange object" had been removed from the streets. The public was still not ready for him, and Marí continued to forge animals in his spare time, between gateways and fences; he ccepted small orders for sculptures for private gardens. His fish figures date from this period –an allegory of all that is in our subconscious struggling to see the light.
Marí then decided to sell his part of the business, and move on his own to a workshop in a different neighbourhood, far away from public view. It is here where he began to dedicate himself almost exclusively to creative expression, as well as to making artistic gateways. It was a slow and difficult change, but not a risky one, as Marí does not believe in leaps of faith. In less than two years he moved to the workshop where he is now, right next to the road leading to the neighbouring town of Denia . An artist needs to be observed during the creative process, and an observer needs an artist to show him his soul.
It was here where he received his first public order: "Bous a la Mar" for Denia. He made a large bull with aggressive angles which throws into the sea –symbol of deep emotions- a human figure on childish lines. It was something he knew he could do, "I like controlled risks". Finally the true artist began to emerge with force, ready to accept admiration from the general public.
Orders poured in, allowing Marí to explore different forms, different sentiments, all the ideas and dreams of his creative process. Birds appear –freedom of the soul-, and specially the eagle –the conquest of success. And yet, for Marí, parting with a sculpture is difficult, "it doesn't have the same value for me when they're far away - better when people I know can admire them".
Toni Marí does not first draw the figure he wants to create, but imagines it on a three-dimensional canvas, and then goes directly to the piece of iron to draw the lines that he will later cut and weld. The work done on the cast iron polishes it, leaving it naked and empty, but once the figure is finished, it is galvanized and rusted with acid, and painted with a protective transparent coating. Marí forges the naked metal and later protects it without hiding its true beauty or its authentic expression.
Each animal or figure he works on is repeated an infinite amount of times until practice perfects the expression of the true characteristics of what is portrayed. Marí does not like to "play with people's imagination", but rather prefers that, "people play with their own imagination from a given starting point". Simple lines full of emotions: aggressive straight lines, curves full of movement, voids that induce foreseen interpretations. "Sometimes less is more", declares the artist.
Then the first order for a human figure arrived: a golf player –game that, according to the symbolic analysis, represents those relationships that we must endure, even though they might seem superficial or not very sincere. It's still not the right time to begin to look inwards. From the figure comes a humanoid, or an android, with no emotions and a simple expression. Beautiful, but nonetheless far from the complexity of the soul, although already free from instinct. Aesthetic yet austere.
And the time will come when he completes his search for the soul, a quest already begun. The initial robot-like figures were soon replaced by iron men with wavy extremities and twisted articulations, capable of transmitting all the strength of their movement, without allowing the imagination to hesitate. Working, dancing, playing, balancing. The true search comes when these human figures begin to lift their hands to their heads to peer into the horizon. They seek the sea, the sky and the stars, yet their torsos are still empty.
An order for a famous winery will lead him to explore the world of plants: vines, grapes, ivy, sunflowers begin to cover and intertwine through the artist's creations, surrounding him with the comfort of the natural scenery of his childhood. In this safe and rich environment he will finally obtain the necessary experience to go deeply into the soul. And with him all who see and live his work will follow, because Marí, in his humility, shows us the way to our collective consciousness.

By 1918 and the end of the Great War, Elgar was in poor health and deeply disturbed by the tragic events that had befallen Europe. He and his wife rented a beautiful cottage near Fittleworth in Sussex called Brinkwells where Elgar enjoyed what was to become his last major creative period. In these wonderful surroundings he wrote the String Quartet, the Violin Sonata, the Piano Quintet and started sketches for the Cello Concerto.
Elgar was himself a gifted violinist and the sonata was completed very quickly within a month. He dedicated the work to a dear family friend, Marie Joshua and wrote in a letter to her during its composition "I fear it does not carry us any further but it is full of golden sounds and I like it, but you must not expect anything violently chromatic or cubist". Tragically, Marie Joshua died just days after receiving the letter and Elgar quoted the melancholic theme from the slow movement at the end of the piece as a tribute to her memory.
The first movement begins in a whirlwind of anger and frustration; the music surges from one extreme of register to the other, and does not firmly establish the home key of E minor until the first grand piano statement. This violent outpouring of emotion is set against a beautifully simple contrasting theme in the related key of G major which first appears in meandering arpeggios in the violin part. Each statement of this tranquil theme is echoed by pianissimo chords in the piano before the storm clouds regather in another outpouring of grief. The movement clearly portrays moments of anger, resignation, sadness, frustration and desperation.
The slow movement Romance offers some respite from such turmoil. It is full of Edwardian gestures with the two instruments flirting and teasing each other in a coquettish dance with constant manipulation of tempo. An abrupt shift from the bright key of A major to the more reflective tonality of F major breaks away from this scene, perhaps suggesting it was a wonderful memory of life before the war changed the course of society for good. The central section is crafted around a poignant, forlorn melody first stated in the violin which becomes ever more overcome with grief, sorrow and regret. After a huge outpouring of devastating, dissonant chords the theme ascends ethereally, paving the way for a muted restatement of the opening dance – this time more clearly defined as a bitter-sweet memory.
Elgar refuses to wallow in such dark colours and the last movement offers warmth and hope for the future. The bright key of E major and meandering, pastoral melodies predominate. As before, Elgar uses extremes of register with both instruments often moving in contrary motion to give the music space and grandeur. Reflective and playful themes alternate with the occasional pause for further reflection. After one last outburst during the development the music gives the impression of settling down for a peaceful end. It is here that Elgar breaks off from the themes of the movement to quote a more impassioned version of the central theme from the Romance, in memory of his friend Marie. The coda emerges peacefully before gathering both strength and warmth for one last outburst of emotion with the firm affirmation of the E major tonality ending things on a more hopeful note.

Ukraine's seamy coal trade learns to vault the front lines2015-09-282015-09-28https://newcoldwar.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/2020-NCW-Logo-New.pngNew Cold War: Know Betterhttps://newcoldwar.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Coal-photo-by-Yuri-Smityuk-ITAR-TASS.jpg200px200px
bne IntelliNews, September 25, 2015
Ukraine "should provide for transparency in coal purchases in the anti-terrorist zone [rebel-territories in East Ukraine] and abroad," U.S. ambassador to Kyiv Geoffrey Pyatt has warned amid growing attention to the shadowy lucrative trading that continues across the front line of the armed conflict.
Pyatt, quoted by Interfax during a panel discussion on energy diplomacy on September 22, was referring to Ukraine's sourcing of coal for state-owned power plants, both from international suppliers such as South Africa as well as from coal mines in East Ukraine's rebel-held Donbas region.
Murky deals through which Ukraine now obtains its coal are adding to the woes of the government in Kyiv, which came to power on an anti-corruption platform after a Russian-backed insurgency in the Donbas cut off Ukraine from its strategically vital coalfields, causing reserves to dwindle. "The situation in the energy sector is disastrous," Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk said in July during a trip to Kharkiv.
Ukraine's thermal power plants face mounting problems as energy companies' stocks of anthracite coal decline. According to Deputy Energy and Coal Minister Alexander Svetelik, by August, available reserves had fallen to around 1.5mn tonnes of the 2.7mn tonnes required to be stockpiled. By July, the country had extracted about 15.5mn tonnes of coal in 2015, or half the amount of the previous year. Several power plants responded by cutting coal-generated exports to cover domestic demand as coal production hit its lowest level since World War II.
Dark dealings
Underlining the coal supply crisis in the power sector, the giant company at the heart of many allegations of financial impropriety, the Ukrainian power generator Centrenergo, said on September 22 that it would have to import 160,000 tonnes of coal from South Africa, 465,000 tonnes from rebel-held eastern areas, and 480,000 tonnes directly from Russia to meet consumer demand in the winter. Around $100mn worth of the coal will be acquired via a shadowy Cyprus intermediary with unknown beneficiaries that was selected without a competitive tender in February, journalists revealed in August, accusing the energy ministry of trying to hush up the deal.
This immediately followed the police's uncovering of a black market scheme for selling coal from the rebel-held territories to Centrenergo, according to court documents. Under the scheme, Centrenergo signed a contract with a trading company registered in Ukraine for coal supplies, but around $1mn of payments ostensibly for coal apparently went to three 'fictive' companies registered in Kyiv and the Kyiv region, according to media reports and court documents, fueling suspicions that these funds flowed to corrupt law enforcement officials.
On the day Pyatt delivered his warning, Ukraine's interior ministry reported that it had uncovered an illegal scheme for supplying coal from the Russian-backed rebel-territories in East Ukraine. According to the ministry, 210,000 tonnes of coal mined on rebel-held territory were shipped by rail to government-controlled Ukraine using falsified documents and supplied to state companies. This therefore constituted stealing and laundering state company funds, the ministry said in a statement, without specifying which state companies were involved.
Border-hopping shipments
Even without the corruption component, Ukraine state purchase of coal from mines in rebel-held East Ukraine is highly controversial, since the mines are directly controlled by the rebels, and thus the funds go to financing the rebel forces which still attack [sic] Ukrainian government forces on a daily basis.
In an attempt to reduce the amount of coal sourced from rebel-held Donbas, Ukraine has stepped up purchases of coal directly from Russia as well as from South Africa. The purchases from Russia are only slightly less controversial for obvious reasons – it is Russian backing for the East Ukraine rebels that has cut off Ukraine's traditional coal-rich region from Kyiv. But even attempts to acquire coal from South Africa have been mired in controversy [see related reading below] due to accusations and counter-accusations of corrupt schemes and mark-ups via intermediaries, which have been hard to prove but hard to dispel.
Ukraine buys mostly rare anthracite coal from the rebel-held territories, on which around half of the country's coal-fired power plants depend and which is far more expensive and difficult to import than thermal coal.
Where does the anthracite coal mined in the rebel-held territories go? Numerous reports say that it is exported to Russia, with observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe witnessing whole truckloads of coal being moved across the border. What happens to it then is unknown, but another criminal case that went to trial in August in Odesa suggests at least some of the coal moved to Russia is then re-exported via Ukraine as a transit cargo for export to the West from Odesa. This means the initial sale to Russian entities is something of a formality, and implies some complicity with Ukraine authorities, say analysts.
Private sector hands in the mix
While Ukraine's state-owned energy sector is mired in shadowy schemes to source coal, privately owned power generation, dominated by Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov's DTEK concern, is also reliant on an ongoing partnership between mines and enrichment plants in rebel-held areas and power plants located deep in government-controlled Ukraine. The bulk of DTEK's mines are in rebel territory, but they supply coal to power plants for Ukraine's largest cities such as Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk. Officially, DTEK says it makes no payments to the rebel authorities for operating its mines and steel plants on the rebel-held territories, since this would result in the imposition of international sanctions against them.
The rebels seem happy to have the mines working, however, possibly partly because of the employment they provide. There is also a degree of interdependency: the DTEK-owned Schastye power plant is, for instance, located on the Ukrainian side of the demarcation line in North Luhansk. But it supplies power to rebel-held Luhansk itself, while in turn being supplied with coal from DTEK mines in rebel-held districts of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
Akhmetov's Metinvest concern operates steel and coking coal facilities on both sides of the demarcation line between rebels and government forces. Here there is also a high level of mutual dependency, since steel plants such as the Enakievo Steelworks in the rebel-held Donetsk region depend on supplies of coke from the Avdeevka coke plant on the other side of the demarcation line. Avdeevka in turn is supplied with coking coal from a mine in rebel-held Krasnodon.
Meanwhile, prying Akhmetov's hands off the coal trade will be tough if anyone tries, for he is regarded as a kind of "father figure" in the eastern region, where he is also the main provider of humanitarian aid to the population. In March, when a methane blast killed 33 miners at the Zasyadko coal mine, Akhmetov offered to pay compensation to the injured and to the families of the dead, even though he did not own the mine.

Parent of Mountain Equipment buys out German distributor
OSC, Outdoor and Sports Company, based in Hyde near Manchester, has acquired Invia Sportartikel Vertriebs GmbH, the longtime distributor of its Mountain Equipment brand in Austria and Germany. Invia was founded some 25 years ago by Thomas Strobl, most of those years dedicating his work to building up and developing Mountain Equipment in the region.
Most recently, Invia has been distributing, besides Mountain Equipment, Bridgedale socks and Jetboil stoves. Invia has been highly respected in the region for introducing and/or developing high-profile foreign brands including DMM, Gregory, Satmap, Troll, Garmont and others, but in the end some 90 percent of the sales were done with Mountain Equipment. Therefore, the partners saw it as a natural move that the British company would take over at some point.
Strobl will remain managing director of OSC's new subsidiary, now named OSC Germany. The entire team of Invia, consisting of about 20 employees, will remain in place. OSC is wholly owned by the Cann family around Stephen Cann, chairman of the family holding company. The takeover will be finalized in the second quarter of 2013.


Get Out topped the AFCC's and my list, followed by Dunkirk, Lady Bird, The Shape of Water (not on my list, but I cannot wait), Call Me by Your Name (make plans to see it when it comes to town), The Florida Project, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (not on my list), The Big Sick, Baby Driver (not in my top 10) and The Post (the other one I have yet to see). My top six were represented, but my bottom four—Wonder Woman; I, Tonya; The Disaster Artist and Mudbound—didn't make it.
Timothée Chalamet was deservedly named Best Actor, though I voted for Harry Dean Stanton (Lucky) and voted for Chalamet for the AFCC Breakthrough Award. Sally Hawkins won Best Actress (The Shape of Water). I might concur once I've seen it; I went with Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird). Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project) was both the AFCC's and my pick for Best Supporting Actor, and I had Best Supporting Actress Laurie Metcalf (Lady Bird) only behind Allison Janney (I, Tonya). Three Billboards deservedly won Best Ensemble, though I preferred the teens of It.
Christopher Nolan certainly earned his Best Director nod (it's hard to argue with Hoyte Van Hoytema's cinematography win). I favored Jordan Peele's John Carpenter impression, which did win for Best Screenplay. I still recommend Icarus, a Netflix documentary as good as many a fictional feature this year, but Jane and Kedi tied for Best Documentary. Coco is not Pixar's best picture, but in a down animation year, not much else was better; check out my pick, Loving Vincent, if/when it opens in Athens. I have yet to see a foreign-language film eligible for this year's awards, but look forward to winner BPM. I am already looking forward to next year's awards!

Thanks. I am currently doing a few IfranView tutorials to help me to learn this simple programme. I never knew it existed until my microscopy lecturer mentioned it.
You're welcome! I'm glad it helps. I'm not an expert user either, but I did know a few things. It's still one of my favourite programs, especially because you can easily determine the size of the printed image unlike many other imageprograms which use the windows settings where you cannot set the print size manually.
Nice explanation. I use Infraview and found it easy to use. Question, do you know if you can overlay one image on top of another to check proportions – for instance a painting that you've done based on a reference photograph for checking proportions?
I don't know if Irfanview has that overlay option, I'll have to look into that.
With the use of layers you can check proportions easily. Also, you can adjust how the layer is placed on the previous layer – overlay is one of these options. Or you could adjust the transparency of the second layer so you can see both layers and see where the proportion is not quite correct.
I just had a quick look at irfanview – i had version 4.25, while the current version is 4.38. I updated and saw in the "edit" menu the command: Insert overlay / watermark image. So yes it's possible.
Thank you so much Debbie for your information, it's going to come in handy. I'm going to look a little further into Infraview to see if I can do layers, and will also check the site you mention. Really appreciate how quickly you responded.

Q: One solution implies the other solution Second order Differential Equation Say we have the following zero-flux nonlinear boundary value problem:
$$ u_{xx} + f(u) = 0, $$
$$u_x(0) = 0 = u_x(L),$$
Now if $u$ is a solution this implies that $w = u(L-x)$ is also a solution.
How do they come to that implication?

A: Because $\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} u(L-x) = - \frac{\partial}{\partial x} u_x(L-x) = u_{xx}(L-x)$. Since $u(x)$ fulfills the differential equation, so will $u(L-x)$. That $u(L-x)$ fulfills the bondary conditions is clear.

Tiger Cubs make dramatic 24-hour U-turn to down Chargers (1/11/22)
