Ackland Art Museum receives $25 million gift
Sheldon Peck, a Carolina alumnus and orthodontist, said he and his wife couldn't be more pleased to be making the largest gift ever to Ackland.

Sheldon Peck couldn't stop smiling when he took the stage for the special event at the Ackland Art Museum on January 25 on Carolina's campus. He beamed throughout the announcement of the Ackland's largest gift ever, an $8 million endowment and 134 original Dutch and Flemish drawings – including seven Rembrandts – valued at $17 million.
The Carolina alumnus and orthodontist and his wife, Leena, couldn't be more pleased to be making this gift, worth $25 million, to his alma mater. With the Peck Collection gift, the Ackland becomes the first public university art museum in the United States to own a collection of drawings by Rembrandt and only the second university art museum in the nation to do so.
"Leena and I are very happy and proud to bestow upon the Ackland Art Museum treasures remarkably preserved for nearly 400 years, from an artistic golden age in Europe," Peck told the audience, which included Chancellor Carol L. Folt and other University leaders.
He turned to gaze on framed reproductions of eight of the masterworks, mounted behind the podium, recalling the many hours of "pleasure, learning and awe" his family had received from the collection, carefully cultivated during the past 40 years.
"We want this enrichment to continue by gifting these now unattainable great objects to a marvelous university museum, the Ackland, where they can be shared with the community and the world in perpetuity," Peck said.
In addition to the Rembrandts, the masterworks include nearly 100 17th-century Dutch landscape, genre and figural compositions by artists such as Aelbert Cuyp, Jan van Goyen and Jacob van Ruisdael, as well as a dozen 17th-century Flemish drawings by masters like Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob Jordaens and Paul Bril. A group of 15 18th- and 19th-century Dutch drawings is also part of the collection.
One of the Rembrandt drawings in the collection bears an inscription in the artist's own handwriting, which until this donation, was the last known drawing with such an inscription remaining in private hands.
"This amazing gift of European Golden Age art treasures – preserved for nearly 400 years and lovingly collected by the Pecks over the past 40 years – delights us today with its timeless beauty and will forever inspire future generations of students, scholars and visitors that come to our historic campus," Folt said. "These drawings are a remarkable window through which we glimpse past cultures and times through the eyes of masters. We are honored by the inestimable value of the Pecks' gift because it advances Carolina's public mission to serve the people of North Carolina and makes the university a destination for people of all ages from around the world for all time."
Peck first became interested in the Old Masters after attending a seminar at Harvard in 1977. Intrigued by how collectors could identify an unsigned drawing by examining the artwork for certain characteristics, Peck set out to start his own collection with the help of his brother, Harvey, also a Carolina alumnus. After his brother's death in 1981, Peck continued to collect art with Leena, his wife and a fellow orthodontist. Part of their collection was first exhibited in 1999 at the Ackland.
Beyond the collection, the Pecks' gift also includes the Peck Collection Endowment Fund and the Sheldon Peck Curatorship Fund. The funds will be used to create the Ackland's first full-time endowed position – the Sheldon Peck curator of European and American art and curator of the Peck Collection, to conserve, digitize and catalog the collection and to acquire other pre-1950 European and American masterworks.
While the Peck Collection will make the Ackland a "mecca for everyone in the world interested in Dutch and Flemish drawings," Ackland Director Katie Ziglar told the audience, she is also excited about the collection's impact on the 10,000 students who visit the museum annually. Ziglar related a story about medical students who practiced their observation and communication skills by describing landscape paintings to each other.
"I can't wait to hear them analyzing Rembrandt's Study of a West African Woman or his Canal and Boats with a Distant View of Amsterdam," she said. "You can be sure it's going to happen."
The Ackland plans to exhibit the drawings as well as digitize them to display online and, eventually, arrange a traveling exhibit.
"Leena and I hope you will relish and enjoy this new addition of European artistic achievement – the Peck Collection – now to make its permanent home in the Ackland's beautiful and growing section of Blue Heaven," Peck said. "Leena and I love each one of these as part of our family. We know here at the Ackland Museum, these objects are going to get their due."

Q: Secure Table Operation in Azure Mobile App In Azure mobile service we have to pass key "X-ZUMO-APPLICATION" and value as secret key in request header to perform any SQL Database table operation using WebAPI. One can not access access the table using WebAPI unless they have key.
In Azure mobile app SQL Database table operation can be performed by adding "?zumo-api-version=2.0.0" and it doesn't require any key. How can I secure the table operation using WebAPI in Azure mobile app.
Can anyone please help?

A: We got rid of the API key from Azure Mobile Services, because it didn't actually provide any level of security, and perceived security is worse than no security. (Anyone can get your key by decompiling your app, or sniffing network traffic, for instance.)
You should use instead use authentication to secure your endpoint.

Numerology is the study of numbers as they stand in relation to human life and events. In numerology, each number from 1 to 9 is thought to be governed by a planet. If any person is born on, say, 19th then his birth number will be worked out thus:
19 = 1+9 = 10 = 1+0 = 1.
Thus, 1 will be the number of that person governed by the planet Sun. It is thought to endow the person with all the qualities usually associated with the Sun like authority, domination , creativity etc. and are seen fit to occupy positions of command or authority in life. It is said that 4 is the affinity number of these people, which attracts them but brings about negative results.
Now, if we calculate the number of people coming under any of the nine numbers with the approximate population of the world as 6 billion it will be:
6 billion /9 = 66 crore 67 lakh people.
Therefore, each of the nine numbers cover a section comprising of no less than 66 crore 67 lakh people in the world. If we were to ascribe the above qualities to number 1 it will cover 66 crore 67 lakh people whereas it has been observed that one person with number 1 as his birth number is submissive and lacks in creativity and another number 1 person is authoritative and ambitious. Now, every date totaling a 4 should be negative for all the number 1 people, which is impossible.
Going a little further, if a person gains money on a particular day but his health is disturbed, then how is the difference to be specified numerologically?
Numbers are considered as having mutual affinities which are as described below:
'1 and 4', '2 and 7', '3,6 and 9', '4 and 8' are series of numbers which are mutually attractive and 5 being ruled by the mercury is considered to be friendly with all the other numbers. '1 and 4' and '2 and 7' series are again considered interchangeable or have mutual affinity.
Based on the above information, it may be said that such and such a date or number will have significance in a person's life but whether positive or negative is an important question. Another still more important question is that how will the person fare on other dates or other numbers which do not fall in his series of numbers. To say that all the other dates or numbers will have no significance in a person's life is impossible. Hence, numerology leaves unanswered the question that how are the numbers related to him.
There are a number of systems allocating a number to every letter of the alphabet, the Pythagorean, chaldean, Hebraic and modern being the important ones. With the help of this allocation the number of a name can be worked out and it can be seen whether it is in harmony with the birth number or not. This harmony or disharmony is then taken as a measure of the success or failure or the smooth- sailing or a chequered career of the person. Suppose, if a birth number 1 person has name number also as a 1 then it can be taken as an assurance that matters stand harmoniously and good success may accrue to the person. But it has often been observed that two persons with their name and birth number both being 1 and hence in harmony are doing almost opposite types of work and one is quite successful and the other is a wretched failure.
We will now consider two examples to test the veracity of the principle as per the chaldean system of allocating numbers to the alphabet. One is of Adolf Hitler born on 20th April1889
20.4.1889 ADOLF HITLER
2 4 26 1 4 7 3 8 5 143 52
2 4 8 23 + 20
Now, it can be seen that birth number being 2 and name number 7 stand in harmony and hence should assure a successful career. It is too well known that Hitler wanted to establish Nazi Germany as the greatest ruling power. He went ahead with his plans and started Second World War but his plans were foiled midway which ultimately resulted in his undoing. He died by his own hand. That his was an unsuccessful career there is no doubt about it. What became of the harmonious numbers then?
Another example is of mahatma Gandhi born on 2nd October 1869.
2.10.1869 MAHATMA GANDHI
2 1 24 4 1 5 1 44 1 31 5 4 51
2 + 1 =3
Now, it can be seen that the birth number of Mahatma Gandhi was 2 and name number was a 3. these numbers are in disharmony and should assure an unsuccessful career. It is but history that he waged a struggle to achieve independence for India. India became independent on 15th august 1947 and he was shot dead on 30th January 1948. that he was successful there is no doubt about it which also earned him the title of �Father of The Nation�. What happened to the inharmonious numbers then?
The most important drawback in numerology is that there are no principles for prediction and hence one is to perforce rely on pattern conceptualization, searching for patterns of numerological significance. Therefore, observation plays the keyrole in numerology. Hence, numerology cannot serve as dependable tool for prediction.
The last but not the least in significance is that the year, month and date of the English calendar or more properly speaking, the Gregorian calendar now in vogue is not based on any planetary cycles or movements. Hence, there is no logic in ascribing the numbers and by implication dates from 1 to 9 to the planets.
Taking these various points into consideration, it is to be concluded with good reason that numerology lacks in a proper scientific basis for making future predictions.

By Jordan T. Camp, author of Incarcerating the Crisis: Freedom Struggles and the Rise of the Neoliberal State.
In fact, the growing scale of the long civil rights movement led to an increase in mass arrest, confinement, and mass incarceration. At the same time, unemployment, urban poverty, and homelessness soon became permanent features of the political economy. With the highest rate of incarceration on the planet, the U.S. imprisons more Black people than South Africa did at the height of apartheid. These dynamics bespeak a collision of race, class, and state power without historical precedent, but certainly not without historical explanation.
Incarcerating the Crisis traces the roots of the carceral crisis through a series of turning points in U.S. history, including the urban and prison uprisings of the 1960s and 1970s, the Los Angeles rebellion in 1992, and post-Katrina New Orleans in 2005. I argue that these instances of state violence and racial criminalization marked the rise of neoliberal capitalism. To make this case, my study takes seriously the poetic visions of social movements including those articulated by James Baldwin, June Jordan, and José Ramírez. Drawing on this alternative archive, the book suggests that the making of the neoliberal carceral state was not inevitable and urgently calls for a new world, still waiting to be born.
Jordan T. Camp is Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America and the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University. Incarcerating the Crisis: Freedom Struggles and the Rise of the Neoliberal State is available now.

ABOUT HARLEY WALLEN:
Multi award-winning filmmaker and actor Harley Wallen has starred in over 40 feature films and TV shows with legendary stars such as Tom Sizemore, Tara Reed, John Savage and Richard Tyson among many others. He started his journey as a martial artist early with Judo at age 7 and is now a 5th degree black belt. Harley also spent time learning other forms of martial arts (Jiu-Jitsu, Tae Kwon – Do black belts as well) and Mixed Martial Arts. His other love at a young age was dance as he was an outstanding break dancer in his teen years. His sheer talent and skill is what landed him his first opportunity in acting as dance at the syndicated Swedish TV cult hit 'Solstollarna'! Soon after, he was bitten by the acting bug. Harley then moved from Sweden to the United States to boldly pursue his dreams. After a short stint these plans got side-tracked by business opportunities as Harley climbed various career ladders. After returning to acting, it wasn't long before the roles started coming and the growth he had experienced in the business world started happening to him in the acting world. After the film incentives ended in Michigan, he decided to start making films of his own. Not having a film school background with only limited experience, he decided to go online to further his education in filmmaking and took classes and seminars in acting. Finally, in 2016, Harley and his wife Kaiti formed the film production company 'Painted Creek Productions'. The one thing he really takes pride in is his commitment to the character he is playing regardless of the size of the role or the pay check. Harley is now writing, acting and directing and has found his life's purpose!

"With three beautiful daughters and a stunning wife, the subject of trafficking is something that it's on my mind more than I'd like to admit. I wrote this script with the hopes of scaring people a bit into action after my church really brought this to the forefront. I feel we often think these things happen far away and the victims and perpetrators are somewhat faceless. I think in Betrayed we bring these issues to your doorstep. We had some absolutely amazing and electric performances and I am super proud of my cast and crew for this, it took some blood, sweat and tears to get this made but it was worth it!", said director Wallen.

Wallen has been awarded by numerous prestigious film festivals such as the Castel Award at the Barcelona International Film Festival, Amsterdam Film Festival, London Film Awards and the Mexico International Film Festival.

Lise Romanoff, Managing Director/ CEO of Vision Films says, "Betrayed is an entertaining film about blackmail, corruption and greed taking place at the government level. I believe it is necessary for the public to get a glimpse into this dark facet of our society in order to invoke change."

Neurovalens Unveils Modius SLEEP, a Genius Next-Gen Device Powered by Neuroscience to Optimize Sleep Health and Address the Global Sleep Crisis, Without Medication
Neurovalens, a global HealthTech company focused on developing innovative neuroscience-powered products to improve lives, today launches its Modius SLEEP campaign on Indiegogo. The device follows the success of the Company's first headset, Modius SLIM, which raised $2.5M on Indiegogo in 2017, gaining worldwide popularity with orders from 80+ countries around the world, and has continued to reach over a half million user sessions.
Modius SLEEP continues the Company's mission to improve global health and wellness by providing drug-free, neurological solutions. For the duration of the campaign on Indiegogo, Modius SLEEP is available from $249 and will eventually retail for $499. The campaign can be found here: https://igg.me/at/modiussleep
"After gathering feedback from thousands of SLIM users, we found that improved sleep was a welcomed bonus and this became our motivation for making changes to our technology to create Modius SLEEP," said Jason McKeown, CEO and founder of Neurovalens. "Our new headset taps into the power of the brain's hypothalamus, which influences many areas of the brain, including weight loss and sleep. Our aim is to help people avoid sedatives and sleeping pills as they only mask the problem and come with a host of nasty side effects. We use neuroscience to improve lives through safe, innovative products and we have complete confidence our SLEEP device is as life changing as our SLIM device continues to be."
In an initial 30-day study, 95% of Modius SLEEP users improved their overall sleep score with 85% claiming that they were more satisfied with their sleep patterns. Additionally, 71.3% of survey respondents with sleep issues reported positive changes when using Modius SLEEP.
The Modius SLEEP headset is worn for 30 minutes before bed and does not have to be worn in bed. It works by sending a safe electrical pulse into the vestibular nerve that influences the areas of the hypothalamus and brain stem that control the user's circadian rhythm and sleep patterns.

Are you considering scheduling auto window tinting services in Bainbridge Island, Washington? If you want more privacy and comfort in your vehicle, this is the perfect solution! Don't call a tinting professional just yet, however. While these services are offered all the time, there are certain times of the year during which the weather could pose a problem. To ensure the best possible results, it's important to take the season into consideration. Keep the following seasonal differences in mind when scheduling auto window tinting in Bainbridge Island.
As a general rule, you should take precautions when scheduling auto window tinting services during the summer and winter months. While summer temperatures will help the tint dry faster, the increased humidity can pose a big problem. The winter months lack humidity, but are often too cold for the tinting to adhere and dry properly.
The best times for auto window tinting are spring and fall. These seasons are optimal because the weather conditions are more temperate. Both boast lower levels of humidity with moderate temperatures. If you can, it's a good idea to schedule these services during either of these seasons. Watch the weather reports in the spring, however, because these months are prone to rain showers.

The National Estuary Program (NEP) represents a unique partnership of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and numerous federal, state and local organizations working together to address coastal watershed management challenges. The NEP brings together citizens, scientists, businesses, and government to solve environmental problems and promote healthy, vibrant communities. The program stakeholders work together to develop science-based action plans that enhance the estuary as a vital environmental and economic resource benefiting local communities and the entire nation.
Over half of the U.S. population lives within 100 miles of a coast. Each year, coastal regions experience a rapid growth in population. This phenomenon within estuaries causes a number of problems to occur, which adversely affect water quality, living resources, and overall estuarine ecosystem health. Also, long term effects on an economic and socio-economic level within estuary communities can occur.
The 28 National Estuary Programs (NEP) share information about their successful approaches to environmental challenges with each other and other coastal watershed managers. That exchange is critical to the effective restoration and protection of estuarine health across all the NEPs.

Czech Change : CR Becomes A Climate Leader
VNezařazené
Politics can be more unpredictable that the weather, as Foreign Minister Lubomír Zaorálek clearly demonstrated at the recent UN climate change summit in New York. In contrast to the country's relative invisibility at such previous high level international gatherings, the Czech Republic attracted positive attention and significant praise for its unequivocal commitment to combatting global warming.
In a bold move, the government joined just six other nations in being the first to pledge financial support for the newly formed Green Climate Fund, established by the UN as a mechanism to transfer money from the developed to the developing world, in order to assist poorer countries in adaptation and mitigation practices to counter climate change.
Following the 2013 contribution of EUR 4.3 million to developing countries such as Vietnam, Mongolia, Ethiopia, Cambodia Minister Zaorálek announced to an audience in excess of 100 world leaders that the Czech Republic is ready to contribute USD 5.5 million to the Green Climate Fund over the next two years. He also unveiled the government's plan to join the German Climate Finance Readiness Programme and provide additional USD 2 million to provide further help to fight climate change.
In spite of the Czech Republic's past financial support to developing countries of more than EUR 12 million, becoming one of the first financial supporters of the Green Climate Fund arguably sends the nation's strongest ever message of its commitment to playing an important international role in tackling mankind's biggest challenge.
Providing such aid to poorer countries is far more than just altruistic. After years of difficult intergovernmental wrangling, it is hoped that there will be a breakthrough at next year's UN climate summit in Paris, when a treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol will finally be approved. But this urgent need for a new global consensus on reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGs) can't be achieved without the support of the developing world.
A major obstacle in reaching such agreement is concern that less-developed economies will be disadvantaged. It is argued that, as the main emitters of GHGs, it is the richer countries that should be held to account for causing global warming, and that it would be unjust to ask poorer nations to have to slow down their own development. The Green Climate Fund's mission to provide compensation to those countries to fund ways to both mitigate and adapt to climate change is therefore critical to a deal being reached in Paris.
Last year's floods in Central Europe wreaked havoc in parts of the Czech Republic, providing yet another stark reminder of the cost of climate chaos. With scientists now in general agreement that such extreme events are the consequence of such global warming, it is clearly in the Czech Republic's direct interest to contribute to international efforts to find ways to urgently reduce damaging GHGs.
Insurers report that the 2013 floods, which so nearly inundated the centre of Prague, caused the most expensive climate-related damage on record. The Czech Republic has significantly surpassed our Kyoto Protocol commitment in reducing national greenhouse gas emissions by more than 33 percent since 1990. But there's an urgent need for an international agreement to further curb such emissions, if future disasters are to be avoided.
I've been attending UN climate summits since the Kyoto meeting in 1997. Such discussions can be quite ugly, often with our long-term planetary needs succumbing to short-term political agendas. There have already been all-too-many lacklustre conferences at which world leaders have failed to reach agreement. Climate change experts are in no doubt that we cannot afford to allow the Paris talks to fail.
It seems that the recent New York summit, at which the Czech Republic shone, awoke our politicians from a kind of climate coma which seemed to have set in following the disastrous 2009 talks in Copenhagen which ended in deadlock. And the battle is now truly on to reach an international agreement to limit global warming to below 2C, a level deemed safe by scientists.
Nearly half a million protestors took to the streets of Manhattan as world leaders gathered at the UN to push for an agreement, showing that ordinary people really care. The People's Climate March was even joined by Secretary General Ban Ki Moon who expressed his solidarity with public concern.
"Action on climate change is urgent. The more we delay, the more we will pay in lives and in money", said Mr. Ban.
The New York summit was undoubtedly encouraging. A new commitment of conserving the world's rapidly diminishing CO2-absorbing forests was one of a number of positive initiatives. But, most encouragingly, it a new sense of urgency which emanated from the event that will drive other high-level meetings scheduled between now and the all-important Paris summit in November 2015.
Climate change is already beginning to transform life on earth. Around the globe, seasons are shifting, temperatures are climbing and sea levels are rising. Meanwhile, our planet must still supply us with air, water, food and safe places to live. If we don't act now, climate change will rapidly alter the lands and waters we all depend upon for survival, leaving our children and grandchildren with a very different world.
It's good to know that the Czech Republic is committed to making a serious contribution in finding solutions and in actively participating in international discussions. That's good news for the future prosperity and security of this nation, and for the world.

Evento MIP - "Drone technologies: challenges and opportunities"
In recent years Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPAs), which in the past had been of interest only for military applications, have started to play a significant role in civil applications as well, ranging from personal and commercial use to countless industrial fields.
In the framework of civil applications, multirotor RPAs represent the most common architecture, due to their versatility and reliability. As a consequence, scientific and industrial activities related to multirotor RPAs have become more and more widespread.
In this talk an overview of the state of the art and of the foreseeable trends will be provided, both from an academic and an industrial perspective.
Please note that the event will be in English.


Jay has been involved in the vineyard, winery, and winemaking in a myriad of roles for more than twenty years. Growing up on the family estate (doing everything from cellar rat to national sales), and learning from the famous Napa Winemaker, Robert Pepi, provided Jay with an extensive knowledge of winemaking and an understanding of the importance of terroir and low-intervention practices.
Since 2007, Jay has lead all winemaking at CWC, in addition to leading the charge into the next generation of Colorado winemaking with Anemoi Wines. Before Jay returned to take over Canyon Wind, he spent a number of years in the Northeast as a Boarding School Teacher and Ski Racing Coach- so whether you want to learn everything there is to know about fermentation or how to carve the perfect turn, he's your guy. If you're lucky enough to run into him at the winery, you can hear about how he came up with the Canyon Wind name at the (very!) young age of nine or the time he hiked up Mont Blanc in Chamonix or any of his other great stories!
Jay served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Colorado Wine Industry Development Board from 2012-2016 and served on the Board of Directors for the Colorado Association of Viticulture and Enology from 2013-2015.
Jennifer is a relatively new face in the wine world, having only been involved since 2009. Originally from suburban Chicago, Jennifer attended the University of Colorado in Boulder, fell in love with the mountains and never left. Upon meeting her husband and co-owner, Jay, in 2008, she learned that a) she loved wine and b) the process of creating wine was fascinating. Armed with passion, the resources of a world famous winemaker, and a fabulous pair of (now retired) purple rubber boots, Jennifer is shaping the future of Colorado wine by bringing new perspective and ideas to Canyon Wind and developing the concept that became Anemoi Wines.
In a previous life (does life really exist before wine...), Jennifer spent many years fundraising for ski racers- from the little "torpedoes" you see racing past you on the slopes to members of the U.S. Ski Team. Prior to earning an MBA, Jennifer also spent a number of years working as an Environmental Chemist for the U.S. Geological Survey (actually using her degree in Geology). While she was born in the Midwest, Jennifer has an incredible love and knowledge of Colorado history- ever heard of the "Richest Square Mile on Earth" and want to know its importance in Colorado's gold rush history or where to find one of the creepiest ghost towns in the San Juans - stop by and ask, she'll be equally as excited to talk to you about old mining towns or the next Anemoi wine!
Jennifer served on the Board of Directors for the Colorado Association of Viticulture and Enology from 2011-2013.
Having joined the family in July 2010, resident Labrador Retriever, Finley, acts as both the Chief Canine Officer ensuring our staff members are happy and the Official Greeter, welcoming all guests to our winery and vineyard in Palisade.
Finley can frequently be found mulching old vines, swimming in the property's ponds, and cleaning up any wine spills. A bit of a wino, Finley is always the first to volunteer for tasting. Look for him to be keeping cool in the winery or munching on vines in the front yard- a belly rub or a ball toss and he'll be your friend for life!
In addition to being cute and friendly, Finley also has a big heart and desire to help his fellow canine and feline. He recently released a special project wine (with permission of his owners, of course) called Finley's Red Paw of which $10 from each bottle sold is donated to local charity, Animal Rescue of the Rockies.
Robert (Bob) Pepi is a world-renowned Napa Valley winemaker who joined Canyon Wind Cellars in its infancy to contribute his expertise in winemaking. Under his careful supervision and direction, Canyon Wind Cellars has produced many award-winning estate wines since the first crush in 1996. A true visionary in the California wine industry, as well as an innovator in winemaking (Bob was instrumental in developing the "Two-Hearted Canopy" trellising system, also known as the Geneva Double Curtain), Canyon Wind is honored to have direction from such a unique talent.
Norman's passion for wine took him across five continents as he searched for the perfect location for a vineyard. His eye as a trained geologist recognized the unique setting in Palisade, Colorado – the cobblestone bench, abundant water, fertile soil, cool mountain breezes and low humidity – all perfect for growing high-altitude wine grapes. He combined his passion and vision into an estate vineyard and winery that consistently creates award-winning wines. Along with his wife Ellen, they laid down the roots of Canyon Wind Cellars.

Feminist Art Historian Olesya Turkina on Russia's Fleet of Canine Cosmonauts
February 19, 2016 February 19, 2016 / Sydney Parker	/ Leave a comment

"In the aftermath of World War II, the USSR and the USA became locked in an ideological conflict between socialism and capitalism. Determined to demonstrate the superiority of the socialist way, the USSR launched a secret space program. Eventually a human cosmonaut would fly into outer space, but first came Laika—a dog.
Laika's launch was kept a secret until a few days before take-off. As Russian feminist art historian Olesya Turkina explains in her book, Soviet Space Dogs, "the secrecy of the space program was justified by the notion that socialism could not be seen to fail in any of its endeavors. In this sense, space travel was the most imperative achievement of such a society." According to the official Soviet story, the valiant little mutt launched into orbit, died a heroic death, and became the first icon of space exploration."
Thank you to Olesya and Damon for taking the time to answer my questions and for creating such a special book. Check out FUEL Publishing's "Soviet Space Dogs" by Olesya Turkina, published by Damon Murray and Stephen Sorrell.

"Rain, coffee, cat ladies, and a robust literary arts community make Seattle one of the best cities in the world to curl up with a book. Seattle's bookish heritage extends all the way back to the city's earliest beginnings. Houses were built, a few buildings, a lumber mill, and then — libraries. Stunning, glorious, introvert-friendly libraries.

After two decades of book nerd community rabble-rousing, the first Seattle public library opened in 1891 on the fifth floor of the Occidental Building in Pioneer Square. According to Seattle Public Library lore, a lumber company vice-president checked out the first book, a brand new copy of Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad…"

My Dog's "Taste" in Books, Movies and Music
January 30, 2015 March 27, 2015 / Sydney Parker	/ Leave a comment
We rescued a genius named Jordy from Ken Mar Dog Rescue. He was not in great shape as you can see from his mug shot below, but today we can now say that he is a happy, healthy young pup who enjoys pizzles, kongs that look like butt plugs and humping other dogs faces. He really is a miracle and we share loving moments every day when he's not busy destroying everything in the apartment and screaming over the sound of the T.V. The truth is that he engages in these activities to disguise his brilliance and the unwanted public attention that would accompany it's full expression.
His genius has advanced to a degree that he can now communicate his entertainment preferences to us. I have no doubt that he'll be talking soon and reviewing for the New York Times. He is truly a connoisseur of eclectic taste and a trend setter for defining culture.
Top 5 Russian Fairy Tales
When I can't sleep at night, I like to read from this book of Russian Fairy Tales in a Russian accent.
I picked up this book at The Museum of Jurassic Technology, a magical place in Los Angeles that makes no sense, defies all logic and makes the world a better place. The stories in this book usually start with a character who must overcome obstacles involving livestock and produce and end with the character failing or dying. There is something comforting about the predictable futility of their efforts. Below, please find summaries of my Top 5 Russian Fairy Tales:
The Turnip
Grandfather plants a turnip. The time comes to pick it. He can't pull it out himself so he asks grandmother to help. She can't do it so she asks Granddaughter. Granddaughter can't so she asks a puppy. The puppy can't do it so he asks a beetle. Then the beetle asks a second beetle. Then the second beetle asks a third beetle. Then a fourth beetle. They all pull and pull, but can't pull out the turnip. The End.
The Snotty Goat
A merchant had three daughters. He built them a new house and sent them there to have dreams. The first daughter dreams she will marry a merchant's son. The second daughter dreams she will marry a nobleman. The third daughter dreams she will marry a goat. The merchant was frightened and forbade his third daughter from leaving the house. She snuck out anyway and was captured by a goat. Back at the goat's place, he had a lot of snot on his face so the third daughter wiped it up for him with a handkerchief and fell in love. Everyone made fun of her for loving the goat, but she didn't care. Then one day she came home and the goat was dead. The End.
The Old Woman Who Ran Away
An old woman and an old man lament their regrets of not having children. They begin to argue about what their children would or would not have been like. The old man drags the old woman by the braid and hits her face against the stove. The old woman packs a bag and runs away. When she gets really far into the forest, she opens the bag and realizes the old man is inside of it. She promises never to leave home again. The End.
Two brothers lived in a village. One was poor and one was rich. The poor brother asks the rich brother for money because his family is starving to death. The rich brother invites him to come back the next day with his family for his birthday feast. At the party, the rich brother forgets to offer his poor brother's family anything to eat, so they just sit there with empty stomachs and watch all the guests enjoy themselves. The End.
The Stubborn Wife
Once a peasant shaved his beard and told his wife about it. His wife told him he didn't really shave his beard, he just trimmed it. The husband thrashed his wife and demanded she admit that his beard was shaved or else he would drown her in the river. The wife insisted it was just trimmed, not shaved. The peasant held his wife underwater till she drowned. The End.
Book Review: The Passenger Pigeon by Errol Fuller
THE PASSENGER PIGEON
By Errol Fuller
An unexpectedly humorous and enthralling illustrated memorial to the extinct North American Passenger Pigeon.
Naturalist artist and writer Errol Fuller defies the odds and crafts an entertaining historical narrative on an arguably bland subject, the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon. The author's enthusiasm for the bird is infectious and the book reads like a bedtime story or an urban legend told over a campfire. "There are many, many stories like these, all worthy of the telling," Fuller writes. "But there is one that stands out from the rest, a story so remarkable, so intense, that its elements strain credibility to its limits. It is the story of the Passenger Pigeon, and it is a tale that has everything: great drama, tragedy, intrigue, violence, mystery."
Passenger Pigeons numbered in the billions at the start of the nineteenth century. The flocks were so large that they blotted out the sun for days at a time. The bird inspired famous writers including Henry David Thoreau and Mark Twain, artists, and even musicians. Yet by 1914, after years of slaughter and destruction by technologically advanced European colonizers of North America, only one Passenger Pigeon was left. Her name was Martha and she died alone at the Cincinnati zoo.
Fuller's book is a beautiful and well-researched study of a highly evolved species forced into extinction by human thoughtlessness and greed. The primary source illustrations and quotations engage the reader while demonstrating the fragility of our natural world. An evocative and visually stunning book for readers of all ages.

I had a wonderful and very educational experience at Access Careers in Hempstead, New York. I learned a lot of valuable information and hands on skills. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me. I had the good fortune of being in Ms. Piper's class. She was very responsive to questions and always was ready to help me. I am thankful for Access Careers in helping me to continue my goal of becoming a nurse. I highly recommend attending the Certified Nursing Assistant Program to help develop the necessary skills and knowledge to begin a career in the health professions.
I was extremely fortunate to come across Access Careers in Hempstead. The Certified Nursing Assistant course surpassed all my expectations. The course is worth every penny. The courses are well organized, they give you all the tools you could possibly need to be successful, there is absolutely no excuse to fail. The staff is friendly, professional, approachable and they truly have the students best interest from the first day. My journey began January 2018 and both my mentors, Nurse Augello and Nurse Roots were nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL. For me, the Nursing Assistant course was a stepping stone in my journey to become a Registered nurse. I walked away with not only a certification, but mentors who believed in me, and pushed me to be the best, a quality education, a job, and an acceptance letter to nursing school.
Words will not suffice to express my gratitude to everyone at ACCESS CAREERS. Thanks a billion!
I took Phlebotomy and EKG and graduated in the summer of 2015. The EKG course was taught by a cardiologist, who was great!! Very knowledgeable and funny. The Phlebotomy teacher was wonderful and thorough as well. There are only two classes to practice sticks and I only got four, so it's hard to find a job, but I did get an internship for EKG and am now working as an M.A.
I am so thankful with Access Career' personel for all their help with my payment plan. Mrs. Piper was a great teacher who answered all my questions. I had recently passed my state board test. I must say also the Mrs. Yolanda was very helpful scheduling my test. Thank you .
As a 38 yr. old returning to school I have to say this was a wonderful experience. My teacher for both classewas Dr. Duree and she was very informative and kind. All of the staff were very helpful and kind as well; Ms.Yolanda, Ms. Mini, & Ms.Muzik as well as everyone els. Thank you so much for this experience. And maybe I'll see you again soon!! .
I completed the MA program! It was an awesome experience. I learned so much, the teachers were great and the administrative staff were outstanding. Anything and everything I needed help with they were also available to assist me. At the end of the program, they found me the best internship. I was hired full time and I love everything about my job, it is perfect!!! it is completely amazing and everything that I learned at Access Career I use every day. It is truly a great school, a great program and the people that run it and teach it are really there to help the students 100%!! I am in deed very thankful to them all and I recommend this school sincerely 100%!!
I took the weekend CNA course, taught by Nurse Williams. Nurse Williams is very thorough, and she makes it her mission to make sure you've learned the material necessary to be successful in a work environment. She makes herself available for extra help if needed, and was a pleasure to learn from. Tay and Victoria who work in the office are a hoot! Seriously, they are extremely approachable and helpful, and stand by the students. Kiran is helpful too. Yolanda is on her game and is extremely friendly. I didn't have many interactions with Minni, but she calls me Tom Cruise, so she's good by me! In all seriousness, the staff at Access demonstrate their dedication to their students often, and allow extra practice for free, where most schools charge for that privilege. The course is expensive, but fair payment plans are available and you'll earn the money back from the job you get quickly. Thank you to Access Careers!
I would highly recommend Access Careers to anyone who is motivated to improving themselves whilst setting a strong foundation for a job in the medical field. I took the CNA course with Ms. Williams and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had her instruction. The wealth of knowledge she holds from decades of experience and her ability to present the proper techniques in a concise manner really made my certification and licensing a successful one. Ms. Williams also made the course fun and although there is a lot of material presented, the class time does go by quickly. Also, the entire front office team is also ready and willing to support you in your success. A special thanks to Victoria as she was the first person whom I contacted remained instrumental in helping me along the way in providing answers from payment options to job search information. These folks are truly here to help you succeed on a new career path. So, for anyone looking around at CNA programs, and you want the best instruction and support, choose Access Careers!

With a increase in the number of healthcare facilities, Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Noida and Ghaziabad collectively generate over 5900 tonnes medical waste annually, most of which remain untreated and dumped with municipal waste and thus cause serious health and environment hazard, reveals the Assocham.
According to estimates, Delhi and NCR region alone annually generate bio-medical waste of about 5900 tonnes, in which share of Delhi is roughly around 2200 tonnes. NCR consisting of Noida/Greater Noida creates 1200 tonnes of bio-medical waste and Gurgaon produces 1100 tonnes of such a waste while Ghaziabad share is estimated around 800 tonnes. As far as Faridabad is concerned, estimates reveal that this town generates 600 tonnes of bio-wastes, adds the Assocham latest findings.
However, lack of proper disposal of hospital trash can pose serious risks to people's health and environment. The waste disposal should be done as per policy guidelines framed by state government, said Assocham Secretary General D S Rawat. As per the findings, the capital generates nearly 200 tonnes of medical trash per day in the past ten years.
Segregation and collection facilities for medical and clinical wastes needs improvement not only in Delhi and NCR but in cities like Meeurt, Loni, Bulandshahar, Ludhiana, Jallandhar etc.
About 65% of the hospital waste is non-hazardous, mixing of the hazardous trash with general waste leads to contamination. This leads to a risk of infections and diseases to anyone coming in contact with such items.
Waste pickers often come in contact with piles of waste, which may having syringes or bandages with blood on them, a potential source of infections and diseases. Proper segregation of the waste, be it at a healthcare facility or at homes, is important to ensure that waste pickers do not face such risks, adds the paper.
India has seen an unprecedented growth in the number of hospitals that have sprung up across the country. The non-treated hospital waste always causes public health risks, the potential health effects of which include AIDS, Hepatitis B & C, Gastroenteric infections, Respiratory infections, blood stream infections, skin infections, effects of radioactive substances and intoxication.
The Assocham has further cautioned that centralized bio-medical treatment plants should be put up in series as growing economy like India has huge prospects for future healthcare facilities which will come up in abundance especially through private-public partnership (PPP) initiatives in which healthcare will acquire prime importance. No sooner than it happens especially the identified cities need to be equipped with disposal facilities so that not only public safety and health is protected but environment and ecology are prevented from degradation, pointed out Assocham.


I have put a decription in h1 at the top of each of my pages to describe the page and contain the keywords I want for the search engines.
With the new Florida update, is it now time to remove these tags? The text could be as easily presented using my base font and their is no real reason for the user to have them as H1.
See if you get penalized first.
Yeah, I wouldn't get rid of them unless you've been wiped from the SERP's all together.
Not in my case. All my anchor text has my exact primary keyword and I haven't had any problems.
I'm not sure what to think on H1 tags really. Some are saying that they are part of googles new penalizing system, and others are saying they are not.
One theory is automated link exchanges are a major cause as people who've set these up tend to use the same anchor/alt text in all exchanges.
The idea being that if the majority of incoming links (from reciprocated sites) all use the same / or very similar text pointing to one page that's optimised for those terms you'll be dropped for only those terms.
But if this is true you'll be dropped completely for those terms, right? Or do you think that you'll be kept in the results but penalized?
Are you talking about chrosys.com ? if so are you linking back from your site to WP?
No, not chrosys.com. I'm not bothered about the rankings of that site at all. I'm talking about other sites I own, and yeah, they do feature number of return links.
are they popular commercial keywords your targeting that return Adwords Ad's on a Google search?
and would you care to share the URL's so anyone who's interested can look into this theory further.
Yeah, it is a reasonably popular term and has lots of commercial linkings. Don't really want to disclose the site just yet as I don't want to invite any competition (feeling vulnerable), sorry :) Maybe after the next update. But then, after the next update, we should have a clearer picture anyway.
I know what you mean about keeping quite about a site before you've got a good toe hold.
I don't think there is an overoptimization penalty on anchor text or anything else.

Kuwait Warns Citizen to Scrub Phones Before Traveling to the U.S.
'The embassy of the state of Kuwait in Washington urged citizens to make sure that their phones do not contain any materials or photos of extremist nature,' local news reported.

Kuwait Airlines plane takes off from at Kuala Lumpur International Air Port, Sepang, Malaysia on August 4, 2014.Dreamstime
REUTERS - Kuwait has advised citizens to make sure their phones contain no material that might be seen as being linked to Islamist militants before traveling to the United States, local media reported on Saturday, after three men were denied entry in July.
State news agency KUNA quoted a statement by the Kuwaiti embassy in Washington as saying that authorities at "some U.S. airports may check the contents of mobile phones or other smart mobile equipment".
"The embassy of the state of Kuwait in Washington urged citizens to make sure that their phones do not contain any materials or photos of extremist nature, related to areas of conflict or terrorist organizations or footage of violence of all kinds before entering U.S. territories," KUNA said, citing a statement.

"(This is) so that students and citizens may be spared questioning by authorities in U.S. airports and to avoid any action against them that could result in cancelling their visas and banning them from entering U.S. territories," it added.
The Arabic language al-Rai newspaper reported in July that three businessmen were questioned for 21 hours at Los Angeles airport and had their telephones checked before they were turned back, in the second incident of its kind this year.
The Gulf Arab OPEC oil exporter is a key U.S. ally and a member of an international alliance led by the United States which is fighting against Islamic State in Syria.
In July, the United Arab Emirates, another close Gulf Arab ally of the United States, told its male citizens to avoid wearing traditional white robes and head dress when traveling abroad, after a businessman was wrestled to the ground at an Avon, Ohio hotel and held as an Islamic State suspect.

The Nature of Words' Ellen Waterston to Step Down
The founder of the Nature of Words literary organization has chosen to step down.
by The Source Staff
ellen Waterston
Since founding The Nature of Words in 2005, Ellen Waterston has been the face of the literary festival, in addition to the year-around educational programs that soon followed in its wake.
But today Waterston announced that she would be stepping down as executive director this spring. She said a national search for a new director is already underway.
While she'll no longer have a job title with the nonprofit, Waterston says she'll certainly be involved in some capacity with The Nature of Words, but to what degree is uncertain right now.
Her decision is tied to her ongoing work with OSU-Cascades to develop a low-residency Masters of Fine Arts in creative writing program, but Waterston couldn't yet elaborate further as to what her role would be with that program -- should it become a reality.
Waterston says the upcoming change in leadership at The Nature of Words is a step in the right direction for the organization.
"This really is a step toward further nurturing the growth of the Nature of Words," said Waterston, "It's not as though I'm saying goodbye, and I'm actually looking forward to the new direction we'll take."
In recent years, The Nature of Words has expanded its scope from a weekend literary festival that has attracted world-renowned authors to a year-around literary group that has increasingly focused on educational programs, including the popular youth-aimed Storefront Project and school outreach efforts.

In Ariosto's epic 16th-century poem Orlando Furioso, the beautiful Angelica , chained, naked, to a rock and menaced by a sea monster is rescued by the valiant Ruggiero, riding a 'hippogriff', the offspring of a griffin and a mare - an entirely imaginary winged creature (as readers of Harry Potter know).
Volatore, as this hippogriff calls himself, has escaped the poem in which he has been confined for centuries and is determined to find his Angelica, even if it takes him to the 21st century and involves some shape-shifting. He lands in contemporary San Francisco and the first person he sets eyes on is Angelica Greenberg, the Jewish owner of a San Franciscan art gallery, who has just dumped her fiancé. Volatore rises to her window and they hit it off big-time. But no sooner have they met and fallen in love than events conspire to separate the two so that Volatore must not only seek Angelica but also find the perfect form in which to consummate his undying love. The first is too masculine, the second not enough so, but will the third be just right, and how will Angelica reconcile the imaginary and the real in the perfect lover?
'Angelica Lost and Found' was the last novel published in the author's lifetime (October 2010).
