40 West Artsphere
Celebrating the Arts on West Colfax
40 West Arts District
Artist Reclaims Materials, and His Past, Present, and Future
Yard Art Yard's latest collaboration is with Benjamin Gale-Schreck. His website states the following information about him.
"Central to my work is the process of repurposing abandoned materials. By reassigning context to the forgotten I am able to give each object and material a new life, distinctive from an otherwise prescribed fate."
Comparisons to the West Colfax revitalization effort seem apparent to me. The headline could read: Repurposed and Abandoned Materials Artist Displays Art in Repurposed and Once Abandoned West Colfax Corridor.
For this, and many other reasons, I was excited to sit down with Benjamin and speak to him about his work.
Initially I asked Benjamin how he came to develop an affinity for repurposed and reused materials.
He explained to me, "At my house in Illinois where I grew up we had a big machine shed and a couple of farms that my dad grew up on, and they were all full of old building materials and just random things. I was constantly going through them, different leftover materials, and making stuff from little pushcarts to go down the hill, to anything. I was always creating objects. And what I learned from that was seeing the potential of all these forgotten [things]."
Benjamin's face lit up when he spoke about his childhood and in particular his father. He said that toward the end of his life, his dad began to shift from construction and carpentry to focus more on education and "creating a safe place for people to express themselves." Benjamin's father created a multi-generational performance group called the Cardboard Players, where members of all ages came together to act out plays written by community members, sometimes as young as elementary school. As the name implies, all of the props were created using recycled and repurposed cardboard.
Benjamin stated, "Everything is about community. You really do have to seek out those people that are going to benefit from your work and what you're doing and can help you through the process."
I scrutinized Benjamin to explain to me why repurposed materials are even important in today's world.
"I feel like we live in a very disposable society," he told me quietly but with absolute conviction. "We're taught about convenience and how everything should be more efficient. It's a single-use society. And so, in a way I'm trying to help people see the potential of, not just a different object on the ground, but my purpose is, through the use of these objects, to help everyone see their own potential.
"Each of us is a different person. We have our own unique stories, our own background and it's only when we start interacting and having a conversation with someone that we discover what they can offer to [our] own life.
"I'm trying to create that connection to the past, to show how our past is very relevant to our future. And how we can learn from that."
Benjamin doesn't use repurposed materials lightly though. Each individual piece is the result of a thought-out and contemplative process, and represents both a link to the past and a structure for reflection toward the future. Examples of this within his current work, Mackinaw Queen III, include slate rock pieces from a train depot and a donated canvas from a well-loved community art center.
I asked Benjamin to reflect on how his work connects to the Lakewood West Colfax community itself. He responded slowly and thoughtfully.
"[Heading to] our meeting at Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters, I drove past the building at first, and thought that it was an industrial warehouse. It wasn't until I called the establishment that I realized I had driven past it, as I was expecting to find a big sign. [This location] is an example of how we overlook our peripheral landscape, and have become dependent upon the corporate model of large flashy signs to tell us where to go.
"Ultimately it makes me think about the connections 40 West Arts District is creating through its outreach and community building. The support of up-and-coming establishments with a true stake in the local community seems to be central in what you are trying to do. This connection with the peripherals of our history, or our individual places of origin, is also key in my artistic practices."
Benjamin revealed a final statement that resonated with me for many days following our meeting. He said simply but eloquently that "art is an idea, and so it's about making that idea transferable and understood by all. I want to start a conversation that's going to go somewhere."

1 dead in alleged hit-and-run
On behalf of Scott J. Corwin, A Professional Law Corporation | Aug 13, 2019 | Car Accidents
A man from Pomona is dead following a serious crash on the 60 Freeway in Diamond Bar, according to local sources. The California Highway Patrol has confirmed the death of a 24-year-old man and the injury of a second person. They have also arrested the other driver involved in the crash under suspicion of a hit-and-run crash. The deceased man's name has not been released, pending notification of next of kin.
According to the report, a vehicle driven by the 24-year-old man and carrying a 21-year-old female passenger was disabled in the No. 4 and 5 lanes as a result of a previous collision when the second accident occurred. It appears an SUV driven by a 30-year-old man approached at a high rate of speed in the No. 4 lane and was unable to avoid the collision. His vehicle struck the stopped car as well as the driver, who was in the process of getting out of the vehicle.
The parked driver died at the scene, and his passenger suffered injuries described as moderate. The driver responsible for the crash apparently fled the scene, abandoning his vehicle, but police apprehended him a short time later at his residence. He will face charges that address his alleged behavior after the accident. It is unknown if he remains in police custody at this time.
California law deals harshly with hit-and-run accidents, and the charged man may lose his license and face time in jail. Separately, the family of the deceased driver and the passenger who survived are entitled to file wrongful death and personal injury suits, respectively, against the accused man in civil court. These cases are handled separately from criminal proceedings, though many civil cases will make use of police evidence to prove a driver's culpability regarding an accident.

I want to start a new rubric on my blog – interior design. I've been reading design blogs long before the fashion related ones. After high school I went for the Architecture and I studied it for two years until I came to US. Now I think that I should've chosen the interior design, but anyway I miss those years.
Great post and interior design is so fun and interesting!

Hampshire College is in a fight for its life. You can read the full back story here. Now layoffs are beginning.
There's new information out of Amherst as Hampshire College prepares to layoff some staff.
In a letter to the campus community sent late Wednesday afternoon, college president Miriam Nelson said that supervisors and Human Resources will be meeting next Tuesday, February 19 with staff members whose positions will be eliminated and be given 60 days notice.
"There is no way to do layoffs that doesn't cause pain or hardship. And being in a small and close community makes this situation all the more difficult. But I want to reiterate that our ultimate goal is and has been to secure Hampshire's future. Not doing layoffs will hasten Hampshire's closing. In becoming a smaller school, we'll be better able to stabilize our finances, which will give us time to pursue the best options for bringing about the next iteration of the College," Nelson explained.
Nelson added that another workforce reduction will be needed this semester and those announcements will come on or near April 1.

CU Cancer Center Receives $20 Million Gift to Advance Esophageal Cancer Research and Care
The philanthropic investment from Katy and Paul Rady will fund initiatives to accelerate medical breakthroughs and improve patient outcomes
The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus today announced the creation of the Katy O. and Paul M. Rady Esophageal and Gastric Center of Excellence, made possible by a $20 million philanthropic investment from Katy O. and Paul M. Rady.
The investment will advance esophageal and gastric cancer research, clinical trials, screening, surveillance and treatments.
The Center will be housed in the University of Colorado (CU) Cancer Center, recognized as one of the best cancer centers in the country and one of the few National Cancer Institute-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the Rocky Mountain region.
"The CU Cancer Center's recognition and experience as a national leader in research and care makes them well-suited to lead efforts to accelerate medical breakthroughs and ultimately improve outcomes for patients with complex cancers like esophageal and gastric cancer," said Katy and Paul Rady.
Katy lost her brother, Paul R. O'Hara II, to esophageal cancer in 2015 and created a lasting tribute to his memory in the form of the Paul R. O'Hara II Endowed Chair in Esophageal Cancer at the CU Cancer Center.
"When my brother was seen at the CU Cancer Center, we knew this place was different. That was partly due to their multidisciplinary approach in treating cancer and the experts that provided him advanced care," Katy Rady said. "We want others to receive this same care by acting as a vessel that will spur breakthroughs and create new therapies. We hope this gift today will continue to help make a difference for families facing this cancer."
The gift could alter the cancer treatment landscape, shaping the way the disease is treated as researchers work toward finding cures.
"With the help of the Radys, there is a greater opportunity to improve the future of esophageal cancer care and treatment for decades to come," said Richard Schulick, MD, MBA, director of the CU Cancer Center and chair of the Department of Surgery at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.
At the forefront of innovation in esophageal cancer care and research
This gift will support the CU Cancer Center's efforts to continue attracting and retaining the best minds in the field and hasten progress in cancer research and care.
To enable that vision, this investment will support the following key priorities:
A New Endowed Chair and Innovation Fund: Sachin Wani, MD, professor of medicine, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, has been named the inaugural chairholder and will use the endowed innovation fund for seed grants, student support and other high-priority programs.
Recruitment: Support the recruitment of top talent and infrastructure for innovation and new programs.
Clinical Trials: Develop and expand clinical trials and an expand the biorepository named for Katy's late brother, Paul R. O'Hara II.
Screening and Surveillance: Expand and bolster existing screening and surveillance programs that will lead to better patient results and fewer deaths from esophageal and gastric cancers.
"We are honored and grateful for this generous gift from the Radys," said Sachin Wani, MD, inaugural director of the Katy O. and Paul M. Rady Esophageal and Gastric Center of Excellence. "This gift allows us to change the paradigm and offer patients diagnosed with these complex cancers a higher survival rate. By changing screening models and expanding outreach efforts, we can identify those with precancerous conditions such as Barrett's esophagus earlier and help ensure that they never progress to esophageal cancer."
The result, he believes, will be life changing.
"This will enable skilled physician and researchers to explore new approaches to treatment and for the CU Cancer Center to be at the forefront of innovation in the field of esophageal cancer research," Wani said.

The Cevennes and Causses
On The UNESCO World Heritage listing
On 28 June 2011, at its 35th session, UNESCO's World Heritage Committee declared the Causses and Cevennes, a cultural landscape shaped by Mediterranean pastoral farming, to be of outstanding universal value and included them on its World Heritage List.
What is the UNESCO heritage ?
Unesco encourages the identification, protection, and preservation of the cultural and natural heritage in the world. In the frame of an international convention, signed in 1972, "world Heritage" is the term given to sites of "exceptional universal value". To be listed as a World Heritage site, a natural or cultural site must comply with very strict criteria.
The Causses and the Cevennes showcase the evolution of pastoral societies over three thousand years.
The key detail about this landscape is its authenticity- ancient farms and villages, footpaths and shepherd trails, and remarkably well-preserved structures and water management systems that date back to the dawn of time.
History and landscapes are closely related and may be admired at the many exceptional sites, such as the Tarn gorges.
A living sanctuary
You may come across four main types of animal husbandry on your path. On the Causses, there are flocks of sheep bred for their milk and meat. Sheep and goats may also be found in the Cevennes, while sheep and cows are commonly found in the land around the Mont Lozère. Throughout the territory, in the summer months, do not be surprised to find flocks of sheep on their seasonal migration.
Some witnesses of a pastoral society :
paths followed by flocks for their seasonal migration ( drailles)
standing stones which serve to mark the boundary of the paths used by the flocks (montjoie)
boundary stones for the territory
summer pastures and rangelands (Estives et terrains de parcours)
Religious and military buildings, valuable signs testifying to the role of religious and military monastic orders in the construction of the landscape.
Terraced slopes- Land farmed on terraces typical in the landscape (bancels)
cheese cellars, caves and swallow holes were used for storing cheese.
Market squares
Isolated farms and hamlets...................
From site to site, discoveries and atmospheres succeed one another and promise powerful emotions and wonderful encounters.

NASHP Policy Associate – Chronic and Vulnerable Populations Team
January 6, 2020 /in Uncategorized Jobs /by NASHP Staff
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) seeks a health policy associate for its Chronic and Vulnerable Populations team. The ideal candidate will have experience and a strong interest in state policies related to older adults, long-term care, and/or individuals with disabilities.
NASHP is a nonpartisan forum of policymakers throughout state governments, learning, leading and implementing innovative solutions to health policy challenges. To accomplish our mission we convene state leaders to solve problems and share solutions; conduct policy analyses and research; disseminate information on state policies and programs; and provide technical assistance to states.
Policy associates are lead content experts on issues and topics at the national and state level. They conduct policy research and analysis, assist with project development and management, write policy briefs and other related resources, and work directly with state health policy officials. The successful candidate for this mid-level position will have strong analytic and writing skills and a proven record of being a strong team player. Experience in state health policy is a must; experience in state government is strongly preferred. Applicants with no practical experience in health policy related to elders, long term care and/or individuals living with disabilities will not be considered for this recruitment.

Born Jean Dawson Keenleyside, early in her career Jane Mallett adopted the stage name of Jane Aldworth, which was a name that had been in her extended family since the late 1700s. An undergraduate at Victoria College, University of Toronto, and performing as Miss J. D. Keenleyside at Hart House Theatre, she was invited to play the leading female role in Arnold Bennett's The Great Adventure at Toronto's Upper Canada College in 1921. Opposite her was Frederick Mallett, an Upper Canada College chemistry teacher. In 1926 she married "Freddie" Mallett. Jane Mallett appeared in several revues in the 1930s, '40s and '50s, most memorably with the New Play Society's famous annual topical revue, Spring Thaw. She performed in seven Thaws between 1948 and 1955, with a veritable who`s who of Canadian comic talent, one of whom, Don Harron, called her "the funniest home-grown Canadian since Bea Lillie." Mallett was also a popular radio performer who was referred to as "the girl with a thousand voices" because of her talent for portraying as many as five different characters on the same show. Trivia buffs may want to know that when she appeared in an episode of The New Avengers, which costarred fellow Canadian Linda Thorson, her character's name was Miss Daly. Daly was also an old family surname. The majority of Mallet's career was spent on stage and she received the Brenda Donohue Award for outstanding contribution to Canadian theatre, ACTRA's John Drainie Award for distinguished contribution to broadcasting and, in 1975, the Order of Canada. The achievement that earned her the title "Godmother of Canadian Performers" was her role as co-creator of the Actors' Fund of Canada, which helps theatre people in financial need. It was to recognize her efforts on behalf of her profession and her fellow performing artists that in 1985, the year after she died of emphysema, the newly renovated Town Hall of the St. Lawrence Centre in Toronto was renamed the Jane Mallett Theatre in her honour.

I don't know if jitengore is still active, but if not, I hope someone can message him with this wonderful news. I know this was very important for a lot of years and life can get so very busy and pull us off of Duolingo to manage it all.
Great!!!!! But ... still not shown in the app?
We will communicate with the team and let you know!
Wow! That is impressive considering how recently it was launched. It shows how careful the team was to get everything right for the course, as I believe that one of the factors in determining when a course is ready to graduate is the number of errors reported. Congratulations to all concerned. I'm really enjoying the course thus far.
That's true. They did a really good work!!!
Wow, that was really fast! It entered beta just two months ago. Congratulations!
That was really fast! For some course it takes about a year or more to graduate. Congratulations!
I've really enjoyed this! Thank you. The only downside so far has been that it's not available in the app (is there a projected date for app availability?) Thanks!
Awesome ! When will it be available on the app?
Awesome! Any news on the app yet?
This so great! The contributors and everyone else in Duolingo has done a good job.


Grimmie has been my online identity for probably the last 10 years, when I first started playing Final Fantasy XI. I originally made an Elvaan, but succumbed to the allure of the Tarutaru and made a cutesy putesy destruction machine. Although the game has evolved a lot over the years, and I really don't play much at all, except on the rare occasion that I want to see what the new content is like, I still love Tarutarus (especially the rare green hair pig-tailed tarutaru female <3). And I still love Tarutaru black mages, doubly so.
It was so, so important to get BLM relic armor, even though most of it was completely situational, and new expansions made it obsolete.

Poco prima di laurearsi all'Università Meisei in economia, nel 1982 vince il concorso Shogakukan "New Comic Artist".
Ha fatto il suo debutto professionale con il manga Beta!! nel 1983.
Tra le sue opere maggiori vanno senza dubbio ricordate Yawara!, le raccolte umoristiche Dancing Policeman e NASA - Nippon Amateur Space Association, la lunghissima serie Master Keaton, su testi di Hokusei Katsushika, Monster ed il più recente 20th Century Boys. Dal 2003 al 2009 lavora a Pluto, manga ambientato nell'universo tezukiano di Astro Boy. Nel 2008, dopo la conclusione di 21st Century boys, inizia un nuovo manga, Billy Bat, ambientato in Giappone nel periodo immediatamente successivo alla seconda guerra mondiale, anni nei quali è ambientato anche Asadora!, serializzato su Big Comic Spirits a partire da ottobre 2018.

Urasawa è un autore che predilige le trame complesse, ricche di colpi di scena, in cui spicca più la psicologia dei personaggi che non l'azione pura e semplice.

Tre delle sue opere sono state trasposte in anime: Yawara! - Jenny la ragazza del judo, Master Keaton e Monster. Happy! è invece diventato un telefilm, mentre da 20th Century Boys a partire dal 2008 è stata tratta una serie di tre film, il cui capitolo finale è uscito il 29 agosto 2009.

Biografia
Naoki Urasawa, sin da bambino, dimostra di avere una gran passione per i disegni, in particolare per le storie di Osamu Tezuka, tanto che tentava pure di ricopiare alcune tavole tratte dai manga dello stesso autore giapponese. Ed infatti i disegni iniziali di Urasawa erano assai ispirati allo stile di Tezuka, anche se poi il suo tratto andrà pian piano a distinguersi. Sebbene fosse abbastanza talentuoso nel disegno, non intraprese la carriera di mangaka, o comunque di artista, preferendo seguire un corso di Economia all'università.

L'inizio della carriera da mangaka
Sebbene avesse deciso di perseguire una carriera lontana dall'arte, Urasawa divenne ben presto un disegnatore, poiché, mostrando qualche tavola allo Shogakukan, aveva suscitato le attenzioni degli editori. Per cui Urasawa si ritroverà a lavorare come mangaka. Come ci testimonia il volume "Urasawa - Gli esordi", una delle prime serializzazioni di Urasawa fu "Beta!!", lontana però dallo stile che assumerà in seguito lo stesso Urasawa. I primi successi arrivarono con serie quali "Il poliziotto canterino" e "Yawara!", primo manga spokon realizzato da Urasawa, senza scordare la collaborazione con Kazuya Kudo per la realizzazione di "Pineapple Army", manga sulla guerra e sul post-guerra del Vietnam ed interrotto dopo 8 volumi. Tutte queste serie furono realizzate nella seconda metà degli anni 80, ma nessuna di esse, salvo "Yawara" riscosse successo. Nel 1988, Urasawa intraprende una collaborazione con Hokusei Katsushira per la realizzazione di Master Keaton, manga che continua ad essere pubblicato fino al 1994. Sia per la collaborazione a "Pineapple Army" sia per quella di "Master Keaton", ad Urasawa era stato affidato il disegno, fatto che garantì l'evolversi del tratto distintivo di questo celebre mangaka. Nel 1988, Urasawa riuscirà a serializzare una storia propria, "NASA", ma sempre con poco successo.

1993 e 1994: Happy! e Monster
Verso gli ultimi anni della produzione di Master Keaton con Katsushira, Urasawa inizierà la serializzazione di due grandi serie di successo: Happy!, iniziata nel 1993, e Monster. Soprattutto grazie a quest'ultima opera, la fama di Urasawa crebbe notevolmente. La prima opera, uno spokon seinen, nasce sulla scia di Yawara, il primo spokon di Urasawa, con il tentativo di migliorare sia lo stile sia la trama, rendendo la storia più matura rispetto a quanto visto su Yawara, incentrato sul tennis. La serie dura sino al 1999, mentre nel 1994 inizia Monster, una delle serie di più successo del mangaka giapponese. Infatti è proprio questo manga a segnare la completa evoluzione di Urasawa, che ha finalmente trovato un proprio tratto ed è diventato in grado di comporre opere particolarmente profonde, riguardo alla trama. E proprio grazie al successo, da Monster venne tratta una serie anime di 74 episodi, edita da Madhouse ed ancora inedita in Italia. Nel 1994 inoltre venne realizzato il manga Jigoro!, che però non segue l'onda di successo dei due lavori di Urasawa sul tennis e sulla chirurgia, sebbene si tratti di un sequel di Yawara!.

1999-2006: 20th Century Boys
Nel 1999, due anni prima del termine di Monster, Urasawa inizia a realizzare un'altra serie manga. Il nuovo seinen prende il nome di 20th Century Boys, e riesce ad ottenere un successo pari a quello di Monster. Questo manga segna nuovamente la carriera di Urasawa, tanto che tale seinen resta finora la serie del mangaka con più tankobon realizzati (ventidue). Dal nuovo manga di Urasawa venne tratta una trilogia di film, il primo dei quali fu realizzato nel 2008, mentre gli altri due lo seguirono l'anno seguente. Inoltre, subito dopo la fine della nuova storia, nel 2006 il mangaka pubblica un sequel, 21st Century Boys, composto di soli 2 tankobon.

2003-2009: Pluto
Come detto in precedenza, Urasawa prendeva spesso ispirazione da Osamu Tezuka, ed è proprio da una storia di Astro Boy, celebre personaggio di Tezuka, che Urasawa prende ispirazione per la realizzazione di un nuovo manga: Pluto. Questa serie, infatti, è da considerarsi una vera e propria rivisitazione di una storia di Tetsuwan Atom, il nome originale di Astro Boy: la storia in questione è Il più grande robot del mondo. La serie di Pluto tardò ad essere terminata, nonostante la brevità dell'opera, dato che è composta di 8 tankobon.

2008-2016: Billy Bat
Nel 2008, un anno prima della fine di "Pluto", Urasawa iniziò a comporre un nuovo seinen, Billy Bat. L'opera, che percorre gli anni dal secondo dopoguerra giapponese fino all'imminente futuro, è stata accolta molto positivamente dalla critica. La trama è incentrata sul disegnatore Kevin Yamagata, giapponese naturalizzato americano, e i suoi molteplici incontri con il pipistrello animato che dà il nome alla serie, dietro le cui apparenze si cela un potere sconfinato.

Musica
Urasawa è inoltre cantante e chitarrista di una rock band. Sotto il nome d'arte Bob Lennon, ha scritto ed eseguito il brano "Kenji no Uta" ("Canzone di Kenji"), presente in un CD incluso nella prima edizione dell'undicesimo volume di 20th Century Boys. Ha pubblicato il suo singolo di debutto "Tsuki ga Tottemo..." il 4 giugno 2008 e il suo album di debutto Half Century Man nel 2009. Nel 2012 ha eseguito una cover in giapponese di "Girl from the North Country" di Bob Dylan.

Yesterday, Saturday 7th July, was relaxed by over 70 monarchs within Osun State as kings moved to the ancient city of Iragberi in honour of Aragberi who gave her daughter, Princess Hanna in marriage to Joseph Alexander.

Escherichia coli is a well-established and the most widely used organism for the production of recombinant proteins (used in medical and industrial applications, as molecular biology reagents, etc.). Production of proteins is the most resource exhaustive process for the cells and therefore needs to be optimized to achieve maximal productivities. Natural environment of E. coli is much harsher compared to the near optimal growth conditions used in production processes. In order to survive cells produce many native proteins that could be considered unnecessary for the cells in industrial production conditions. In this project we aim to remove the most resource exhaustive unnecessary proteins from the host cells to free up resources for recombinant protein production. We will focus on this by using a novel metabolic modeling approach with constraints of protein production and cell geometry together with proteomics-based host cell physiology characterization. Novel lean-proteome strains with removed unnecessary proteins will be tested for the improved production capacity of several recombinant proteins used in research, industry and diagnostics.

Why did Francis Scott Key Write The Star Spangled Banner
By Ozzy Mirza
See all Articles by Amy DyslexSee Amy Dyslex's Expert PageGet Updates on LearningGet Updates on Amy Dyslex
In case you are wondering why was The Star Spangled Banner written or why did Francis Scott Key write The Star Spangled Banner, the answer simply lies in a duo of qualities that would inspire any man; valor & honor. That is right- Francis Scott Key was inspired to ink The Star Spangled Banner after he got to witness – in person – the shower of bombs launched by the British Royal Navy on Fort McHenry. All this happened in the annum of in the War of 1812 through the 'Battle of Fort McHenry'.
Inspired Cause Behind The Star Spangled Banner
It all started for Francis Scott Key when one of his real good affiliates – Doctor William Beanes – was taken by the British Navy as a prisoner of war after he was charged with aiding the authorities from the other side in the capture of British combatants. Aboard on a truce mission, Francis Scott Key was accompanied by John Stuart Skinner to head the expedition pertaining to an exchange of POWs i.e. Prisoners of War. As they sailed their way towards the British naval forces carrying a white truce flag, both Key & Skinner were hosted to dinner by Vice Admiral Alexander Cochrane & Maj. Gen. Robert Ross. The four men had dinner and the two British officers talked about their war plans.
The Misfortune
Unfortunately, since Skinner & Key had heard the two British officers talking about their plans with regards to the attack they intended to launch on Baltimore, they were detained as captives till after the Baltimore skirmish. As the night grew darker and the thunder of the bombardment grew louder, Francis Scott Key had no way to find out what the outcome of the battle had been. As he woke up in the morning and his eyes witnessed the American flag soaring high in the air on top of the fort, he could not contain his happiness at the sight of American triumph and inked The Star Spangled Banner – referring to the American flag he saw – on the back side of a letter he found in his pocket.

When a person's goal is achieving optimal health and weight, I begin by having them keep a food journal for a few days and we go over this together. Often there are foods which are not promoting the client's weight and health goals which can be reduced or eliminated. Other foods that support health and vitality are introduced to the diet. I focus on teaching the importance of cleansing the cells, bowels, liver and lymph daily through natural foods and purified water. I may suggest high quality food supplements to support cellular health and optimal vitamin-mineral intake. Essentrics®, a fluid, healing form of exercise is taught and recommended as a daily practice to increase lean muscle mass, strength, balance and detoxification of the body.
"From your teaching, I have learned that I have choices in what I do with my daily intake of energy. I understand that I can choose to energize and vitalize myself with what I put into my body or make it very hard for it to function. I have also learned that I can add to it's deterioration or enhance its longevity and energy. For all of this learning and your dedication, I am truly thankful to you."


celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.
Beginning in the late 19th century, as the and grew, different groups of trade unionists chose a variety of days on which to celebrate labor. In the United States, a September holiday called Labor Day was first proposed in the early 1880s.
Alternate stories of the event's origination exist. According to one early history of Labor Day, the event originated in connection with a General Assembly of the convened in New York City in September 1882. In connection with this clandestine Knights assembly, a public parade of various labor organizations was held on September 5 under the auspices of the (CLU) of New York. Secretary of the CLU is credited for first proposing that a national Labor Day holiday subsequently be held on the first Monday of each September in the aftermath of this successful public demonstration. An alternative thesis is maintained that the idea of Labor Day was the brainchild of, a Vice President of the, who put forward the initial proposal in the spring of 1882.
According to McGuire, on May 8, 1882, he made a proposition to the fledgling Central Labor Union in New York City that a day be set aside for a "general holiday for the laboring classes. " According to McGuire he further recommended that the event should begin with a street parade as a public demonstration of organized labor's solidarity and strength, with the march followed by a picnic, to which participating local unions could sell tickets as a fundraiser. According to McGuire he suggested the first Monday in September as an ideal date for such a public celebration, owing to optimum weather and the date's place on the calendar, sitting midway between the and public holidays.
Labor Day picnics and other public gatherings frequently featured speeches by prominent labor leaders. In 1909 the American Federation of Labor convention designated the Sunday preceding Labor Day as "Labor Sunday," to be dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the Labor movement. This secondary date failed to gain significant traction in popular culture. In 1887 became the first state of the United States to make Labor Day an official. By the time it became an official in 1894, thirty officially celebrated Labor Day. All U. S. states, the, and the have subsequently made Labor Day a statutory holiday.

And after Noel recently said that U2 frontman Bono should, "Shut the f*ck up about Africa", Liam has reiterated that the lads won't be making any political comments in their acceptance speech.
Im not into that stuff, Im not into that at all, I actually f***ing hate all that stuff," he told us. "There is a time and a place for that.

Wanted a change from the brutal murder and mayhem, and got this via Bookbub for free (you sign up with bookbub and give them the genres you are interested in and you get an email a day with offers from various shops with cheap books, some even free https://www.bookbub.com ).
Switched reading this with other books, so it took a while longer to finish it.
So, as I do not understand the problems and decisions of Avery, this was even for a free book a mistake.
If you want to read chicklit and are into Star Wars and Videogames, this might be for you.
I cannot understand why Avery wanted to chose between 2 Guys, when a third would be the much more fitting for her (maybe in the next book?): Lando. Or why even chose? Why not take all (two or three)?
The crime I expected came much too late in the book (ca. 2/3 in the book).
Most minor characters are wackos, some real deranged and Avery is as the main character no real exception.
I feel bad giving only two stars, but this just not my cup of tea, and I probably should not have grabbed it, when I saw the "Free" price-tag.
This makes me wonder how many baddies I have buried on my Kindle and in Calibre still waiting to be opened?�!
Might read the next book in the series, when I have nothing else to read - yeah, like that will happen anytime soon...!
So, sorry, also not recommended.

View Full Version : Lightwave 8.5 on new MacPro with Leopard?
I will be updating to LW9, but even though 8.5 installed...it won't open. I've registered it, it accepted the license key, the dongle is plugged in...but neither Modeler nor Lightwave will open. The Hub will, but that doesn't help a whole lot?
Any advice? Should 8.5 open under these conditions or do I have to upgrade first? I thought that with Rosetta, 8.5 would at least open and run slower rather than not opening at all.
Well, my face is red...forgot to install Eve3.
8.5 will run on your Mac Pro, but 9.x is faster across the board, and 9.3.1 will run at native speed on your Mac Pro, so it will blow the other versions out of the water.

NBA 2K14 PC Game Free Download Full Version – replace.me.NBA 2K14 PC Game – Free Download Full Version
NBA 2k14 Download | GameFabrique
I abes exoddus pc download free that it is more than fair to say that by this point we know what we are getting with this series each year and that is not frde as a negative. I love this series; it is the premier basketball franchise and they kind of perfected the formula a few years back so there is only so much they can add to each new game. NBA 2K14 is a great looking game and features some amazing player likenesses.
It is not just the players that look great, but the whole game in general. From the way, the matches have a TV-style presentation to the way each arena looks.
You cannot deny that this is an amazing looking game. If you agree with this or not is nba 2k14 free download pc to you, but the two main gameplay changes I want to talk about are first of all the shooting and then the dunks. I feel that the shooting dowmload is much better in this game than it was in the previous games. It is much smoother now and feels better. It does take a while to get used to as the timing is nba 2k14 free download pc from the previous games, but once you get it down it does feel much better.
Nba 2k14 free download pc other change is the blocking of dunks which NBA 2K14 was actually the first in the series to allow you to do this. Blocking a dunk is awesome the first time you do it and it can be very exciting when it happens. The problem is the AI is nba 2k14 free download pc aggressive when it comes to blocking your dunks! There are many other gameplay changes such as new nbw moves and посетить страницу couple tree nba 2k14 free download pc touches too.
One of downoad things that we take for granted in this series is the game modes. Like the other games in the series, this game is stacked with game modes. The mode I always like to play most is the GM mode where I always try to take the Bulls back to their glory days. It is the same kind of thing as the Michaels Jordan mode that they did in 2k11, but as you have probably figured out this one is about LeBron James.
I did actually prefer the Michael Jordan one if I am honest, but this one here is still kind of cool and well worth playing through. It may not be changing a great deal, but the small gameplay tweaks it made especially the shooting Nba 2k14 free download pc feel do make it a fun time.
For those who have not been won over by the series before now, this is probably not going to do it for you either. The arrival of a new generation of video game consoles is a particularly important moment for sports titles. Aware of the situation in which they find themselves, Visual Concepts wanted to make it clear that no one is going to take away their untouchable reign in basketball simulation with a title full of virtues and very few flaws. With Pf 2K14 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the American developer raises to new heights of realism the classic fref of the saga and gets that, beyond enjoying one of the best graphics of this young generation, we discover new ways to have fun with the NBA.
It is time to know in-depth what is behind this title created by and for the fans. NBA 2K14 has all the official championship licenses. That is to say, there are the free download online tv for pc current franchises, with узнать больше players, their pavilions, their uniforms, or their logos.
Of course, there are also the Ppc, the new name of the former New Orleans Hornets. There are also 34 classic teams, from the Boston Celtics to the Philadelphia Sixerspassing through the Detroit Pistonsthe Chicago Bullsnba 2k14 free download pc the Lakers NBA 2K14 is a continuist simulator, which takes directly from its predecessors.
That means that, as always, it is as deep and varied as a real game can be. Practically everything can be frer. Basket shots can be managed with one of the classic buttons or with the right joystick, so the mechanics consist of releasing it at the height of the jump. There are jump shots, bombs, layups, stratospheric dunks Free throws are more difficult to make than last year since you have to calculate the timing very well and release the nba 2k14 free download pc just as the ball leaves the shooter's hand.
The game takes a lot from all the past games in the series, luckily it is mostly the good parts. We can even make baskets from further away without having to use the right stick. Even the dunks feel great and realistic.
In the end, NBA 2K14 remains as strong as ever. The leap in this edition has not been as high as in previous editions, we suppose because of the obvious end of the generation and the fact that, in just a couple of months, the saga will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Still, despite the absence of a qualitative leap, NBA 2K14 continues to set the bar high and only the changes made in the control with the right stick, for its occasional errors, can be indicated as a negative point.
The LeBron James mode is a very well-designed addition that incites to play, although, like everything that surrounds the self-styled King James, this will depend a lot on how well the player likes him.
Otherwise, it's still a must-buy for basketball fans, downlozd there's nothing left to do but wait, in just a few weeks, for the first stone of next-gen basketball. Browse games Game Portals.

Go to main content [shortcut key S] : Monaco and the European Union
Relations with the European Union
Towards a new framework for relations
Negotiation of an Association Agreement
The Principality of Monaco is a third country with respect to the European Union. The Monegasque state nonetheless established a permanent relationship with the EU by accrediting an Ambassador to Brussels in 1999.
Moreover, given its customs union with France the Principality has been part of the Community customs territory since 1968 (See Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code ).
Consequently, and in accordance with the provisions of the Franco-Monegasque agreements signed on 18 May 1963 and 26 May 2003. Monaco is part of the European VAT system (See Directive 2006/112/CE of 28 november 2006 on the common system of value added tax ).
The Principality of Monaco also belongs to the Eurozone. Due to the withdrawal of the franc and to enable Monaco to retain its sovereign right to mint coins, a Monetary Convention was concluded between the French Republic on behalf of the European Community and the Government of H.S.H. the Prince of Monaco on 26 December 2001. A new Monetary Convention was signed by Monaco, the European Union, represented by the French Republic, and the European Commission on 29 November 2011. This new agreement amends the 2001 Convention, including with respect to the quota of Monegasque euros that can be issued.
Furthermore, the Principality of Monaco is not a signatory to the Schengen Agreements, but it is a port of entry into Europe as a result of the maritime and air access to the country, and the free movement that is in place between France and Monaco. A Decision of the Schengen Executive Committee dated 23 June 1998 recognised the Heliport and the Port of Condamine as authorised external border crossing points and gave holders of Monegasque residence permits the right to move freely within the Schengen Area for stays lasting less than three months.
The Principality of Monaco has also concluded sectoral agreements with the European Union. Thus an agreement between the European Community and the Principality of Monaco on the application within the Principality of Monaco of certain Community legal instruments relating to medicinal products for human and veterinary use, cosmetic products and medical devices was signed on 4 December 2003.
Like the other small third-country nations in Europe, Monaco conducted negotiations with the European Community to reach an agreement setting out measures equivalent to those covered in Council Directive 2003/48/EC on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments. This agreement, signed on 7 December 2004, entered into force on 1st July 2005.
It was complemented by the signature on 12 July 2016 of an amending protocol providing for the automatic exchange of information between Monaco and the European Union member states on the financial accounts of non-residents, starting in 2018. The information will be collected from 1st January 2017 (See also: Agreements on Tax Matters ).
On 6 May 2011, the Principality also signed an Agreement on Operational and Strategic Cooperation with European Police Office (Europol). The scope of this agreement was expanded to cover all areas of EUROPOL competence by an exchange of letters dated 4 July 2018.
Since 18 March 2015, the Principality of Monaco has been officially engaged in negotiations with the European Union (UE) aimed at reaching a balanced agreement, which will allow Monaco to participate as fully as possible in the EU's internal market, while ensuring respect for the Principality's vital interests, taking account of its unique geographical, demographic and economic features.
The launch of these negotiations was the outcome of a dialogue with Monaco, Andorra, and San Marino begun by the European Commission in 2010, acting on the basis of Declaration No. 3. on Article 8 of the Treaty of Lisbon (2009): "the Union will take into account the particular situation of small-sized countries which maintain specific relations of proximity with it".
In December 2010, the Council of the European Union requested an assessment of the EU's relations with European countries of small territorial dimension – Principality of Andorra, the Principality of Monaco and the Republic of San Marino – noting that "their current relations with the EU are extended but fragmented". (Conclusions on EU Relations with EFTA countries of 14 December 2010 ).
Following the adoption of a report produced by the Hungarian Presidency, dated 14 June 2011 (document 11466/11 ), the Council invited the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the Commission to continue their analysis and reflections on the future development of EU relations with the three countries, noting that this should include exploring further a possible new institutional framework for relations, taking into account the importance of a coherent approach for all three countries, while respecting the particularities of each.
In November 2012, the Commission published a communication in which it presented the "relations of the EU with the Principality of Andorra, the Principality of Monaco and the Republic of San Marino" and explored "options for closer integration with the EU". (Communication COM(2012) 680 ). The communication looked at five options: the status quo, a sectoral approach, a framework association agreement, participation in the European Economic Area, and membership of the EU. It was accompanied by a working paper on the obstacles the three countries face in terms of access to the EU's internal market and cooperation in other areas (Commission staff working paper ).
On the basis of this report, the Commission and the Council retained two options: participation in the European Economic Area and the negotiation of one or more framework association agreements. (Council Conclusions of 20 December 2012, document 17591/12 ).
In November 2013, the Commission adopted a report in which it concluded that negotiation of one or more association agreements was the more viable of the two options. In this report, it also set out the key principles which should underpin the negotiations: respect for shared values, the need to ensure the homogeneity and good functioning of the internal market, and consideration for the specificities of countries of small territorial dimension (Report COM(2013) 793 ).
In December 2013, on the basis of this report, the Council invited the Commission and the High Representative to submit, by the end of April 2014, a recommendation on opening negotiations with the three countries with a view to concluding one or more association agreements. In its conclusions, the Council notably reaffirmed that a "closer association of Andorra, Monaco and San Marino with the EU is also in the interest of the EU. It should contribute to addressing gaps and overcoming inconsistencies in relations, which are currently fragmented and diverge from one country to the other. Furthermore, enhanced participation of the three countries in the internal market could have a positive, though limited economic impact on the EU, in particular with regard to employment in the neighbouring regions and cross-border economic activity". (document 16075/13 ).
In December 2014, the Council gave the Commission and the EEAS a mandate to open negotiations with Andorra, Monaco and San Marino (Council conclusions of 16 December 2014 ).
The negotiations were formally launched on 18 March 2015, in Brussels, in the presence of Ms Federica Mogherini, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and Vice President of the European Commission (you can watch a video of the ceremony here (French only) ).
The main aim of the Association Agreement being negotiated with the EU is to enable Monaco and all of the country's economic stakeholders to be a part of the European internal market, including by removing the obstacles which may currently impede exports from Monaco to EU member states.
The signature of an Association Agreement would also provide the benefit of a lasting legal and political framework for relations between Monaco, the EU, and EU member states. Among other things, it would set out the procedures for resolving any difficulties that might be caused by its implementation, by introducing a mechanism for settling disputes.
In addition to expanding economic prospects, the fact of establishing a partnership with the EU opens up the possibility of developing cooperation in areas of shared interest and participating in some of the EU's horizontal policies on such issues as research, the environment and education (ERASMUS).
The first round of negotiations took place in Brussels in May 2015. The talks are being held at a rate of one three-day session every seven weeks.
In December 2016, the Council of the European Union took note of the negotiations conducted over the previous two years and encouraged all parties to continue to make steady and concrete progress towards the finalisation of these negotiations (Council conclusions of 14 December 2016 ).
In December 2018, the Council of the European Union announced that it was happy with the extremely good relationship between the EU and the three countries, as well as with the progress achieved over the last two years. The Council encouraged all parties to actively continue their efforts in order to bring the negotiations to a swift conclusion. (Council conclusions of 11 December 2018 ).
On 13 March 2019, the European Parliament adopted a report by MEP Juan Fernando López Aguilar on the Association Agreement between the EU and Monaco, Andorra and San Marino. This document contains a number of recommendations addressed to the Council and the Commission on the conduct of the negotiations, in particular with regard to taking into account the specific characteristics of these three States. (European Parliament recommendation of 13 March 2019 (2018/2246(INI) )
