CCC student art to be displayed in annual show
May 1, 2018 / Jeanette Wright / Comments Off on CCC student art to be displayed in annual show
Clackamas Community College is preparing to host the annual CCC student art show. Artwork created by CCC students in the past year will be accepted at the doors of the Alexander Art Gallery in Niemeyer Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 12-2 p.m.
Entry forms for up to four pieces per student will be available at Niemeyer to be turned in with an entry fee of two dollars each.
Art pieces are to be juried by the CCC Art Department faculty, and the accepted pieces will be displayed in the Alexander Gallery from May 17 to June 7, with remaining submissions to be displayed in a Salon de Refuses in the Art Center corridor.
The exhibited art will be judged by Bill Carman, an artist from Boise, Idaho and a professor of illustration and drawing at Boise State University.
Monetary prizes of $100 to $300 will be given to first, second and third place "best in show" winners, with individual awards in every discipline.
The awards reception will be held on May 17, from 12-1:30 p.m., at the gallery. Prizes will be awarded at the reception, as well as free food, drinks and music.
This year will feature more large-scale sculpture pieces than in the past, as well as a performance element.
Steve Mysinger is a CCC art student taking a variety of classes, who is utilizing different mediums within his pieces.
Mysinger entered last year, and is presenting bigger, "more grandiose" pieces this show.
"I'm really excited about letting other people look at what I do," Mysinger said. "I mean, that's why I do it. I don't do it to go hide it in my garage, I want to do something that I can let other people look at. They don't have to like it. It's nice if they do, but they don't have to."
"[the show is] a great opportunity on many levels, if students are considering going forward with their professional artistic career," said Kate Simmons, a CCC sculpture instructor. "Submitting work to the student show builds their artistic resume."
The show presents learning opportunities not available otherwise, in a safe environment.
"I think it's a great experience for students to learn how a gallery works," said Kim Hyer, a CCC art student, "even though I think our gallery is much more forgiving than a professional gallery, where you go and exhibit and sell your work."
Professional artists are expected to know the ropes of showing art, from creation to transportation, arrangement on the gallery and even communicating with potential buyers.
"The fun part about it is that the public, if they're the buying public, they like to be able to talk to people," Mysinger said. "The gallery probably expects you to be able to communicate what your ideas are."
Class critiquing as a group helps artists grow perspective, even to see the way the audience looks at their work.
"What I've found is that I'm over-critical," Hyer said. "I think that's the first step in the process of letting other people see your stuff."
The show provides the students an opportunity to see other people's work, and see other people react to their own pieces.
"I think it's neat to be able to have our work hang and watch people respond to it, regardless of what emotion it evokes," Hyer said.
"If it evokes an emotion in you, it did its job," Hyer said.
Kurt Lewandowski, CCC math instructor and first-time art student thinks the show is a great chance to grow as an artist and as a person.
"It's just really cool to see the stark variety of how people see the world, and represent that in so many different, unique ways," Lewandowski said.
With so many different art disciplines represented, Simmons is happy with how the students and instructors have worked together.
"It's very exciting to see the camaraderie in the student body here at the art department," Simmons said. "When the show is close at hand, it seems like there's a good energy."
The Alexander Art Gallery is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Not long after Tesla controversially ditched its popular Referral Program, it has re-introduced it, albeit with a few alterations.
In a blog post posted to Tesla's website, the electric automaker conceded that its customers absolutely loved the Referral Program and that it was one of their favorite reasons to encourage friends and family to also buy Tesla vehicles. Unfortunately, the program cost the automaker a lot of money and has now been re-worked to still reward owners without hurting the company financially.
The new Referral Program will operate as follows: whenever someone purchases a new Tesla with a friend's referral code, both parties will receive 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of free Supercharging. Additionally, each successful referral an owner records will give them a chance to win a Model Y Founder's Series monthly and a new Roadster Founder's Series quarterly. The cars which will be given away are both signed by Elon Musk and design chief Franz von Holzhausen.
Owners who already have unlimited Supercharging will be rewarded with two chances to win for each referral, while the company says this new program will help to save it money in the long run.
Under the previous Referral Program, Tesla owners were offered a plethora of prizes, the most expensive of which was a Roadster Founders Series. All you had to do was successfully refer 50 new customers to the electric automaker and you'd get a Roadster. It remains to be seen how many Roadster build slots the company gave away as part of this rewards program.
Other prizes included having SpaceX send a personal photo of yours into deep space orbit, forged wheels for the Model 3, Tesla unveiling invitations, and a free Founder Series Powerwall 2.
Last minute sales push no doubt.
Cars autographed by Elon Musk? My God, spare us please.
In all fairness, the car is what's important. Not so much the signature. I have a wall charger signed by Elon. It's getting rained on at the moment because I installed it in my driveway.
Fair enough. But I'd be willing to bet the "car signed by Elon Musk" gimmick was suggested by Elon himself.
WAS IT A GIMMICK WHEN CARROL SHELBY SCRAWLED HIS SIGNITURE ACROSS THE DASH IN HIS CARS?
Sure, he can sign the car. But really, I'd be stoked to get a car.
I'M CURIOUS AS AN OWNER WOULD YOU BE ANY LESS INCLINED TO REFER TESLA IF THE PRIZE WAS SOMETHING MORE MANAGEABLE LIKE AN ACCESSORY FOR THE CAR OR AN INVITE TO AN EVENT?
When I got my X, there were five level of referral awards. A battery powered radio flyer Tesla for kids, a wall charger, a set of 22″ wheels with summer rubber, and a Powerwall. I netted all of those things without any real effort other than letting friends drive my car and make it dance when they asked. It's nice to get credit for helping cultivate a sale of a car that I believe in. Frankly, the actual delivery of these awards was really disorganized, so making it logistically manageable is important. I still haven't received the Powerwall, which would have come in handy this winter. I also wasted a solar panel referral because I didn't qualify since Solar City doesn't do flat roofed homes in the Northeast. Then there wasn't another referral award until you hit 50… a roadster. Some people take this seriously, making Youtube videos and blog posts, so the roadster is really aimed at those guys. That's the sort of buzz Tesla wants because it's much more authentic and valuable than a 10 second Super Bowl ad. Since that wasn't my schtick, I wasn't exactly inclined or disinclined to hustle and hoard referrals. But I did what I did organically, and got some cool stuff. So to answer your question in a long-winded way, I do believe that a tiered-level referral approach works well. The easily shipped items are fun to receive. The logistically complicated items, like the Powerwall, are of negative value to the brand because it's a letdown and it exposes some growing pains.
FROM WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IT SOUNDS LIKE TESLA WOULD DO FINE GIVING REASONABLY PRICED PRIZES WITHOUT GIVING AWAY CARS, ESPECIALLY $250K CARS. NO DOUBT WE'LL SEE THE USUAL YOUTUBER'S PUSHING THEIR REFERRAL CODES AGAIN.
Cars as referral awards is relatively new. Prior to the roadster award, there were already countless Tesla Youtubers with millions of views. So it doesn't seem entirely necessary. It's up to Tesla to determine if that's a good business case. The guy at Teslanomics did a good cost-benefit analysis that made a lot of sense. Coincidentally, he was the first to get a roadster as an award.
It was dumb to end the referral program. It was cheap advertising. Also, the last picture is a supercharger. Not a Powerwall.
I THINK MOST PEOPLE WOULD BE CONTENT WITH AN INVITE TO A TESLA OR SPACE X EVENT OR SOME ACCESSORIES FOR THEIR CARS. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY NEED TO GIVE AWAY A $250K CAR. SOME YOUTUBER'S HAVE HALF A MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF CARS JUST FOR LINKING THEIR REFERRAL CODE IN THE DESCRIPTION.

Central Bhutan Travel Guide
While most travelers to Bhutan visit the capital city Thimpu and Paro, Bhutan offers much more. Many travelers skip Central Bhutan (either due to lack of time or because of the poor road conditions) but do not make this mistake.
Central Bhutan is known for its evergreen mountains and neatly cultivated valleys. It comprises of the country's cultural heartland, accented by several of Bhutan's oldest and most significant temples and monasteries.
Many spectacular festivals are celebrated here for the spiritual. While there are also dozens of great day hikes throughout the region for the adventurous souls.
Chhumey – famous for its woven woolen goods.
Jakar – the administrative center of the district and the first place where Buddhism entered Bhutan.
Tang – many sacred sites.
Trongsa
Ura – A quaint village high in the mountains.

Things To Do In Central Bhutan
Culturally, Central Bhutan is closer to Eastern Bhutan, and as the East the predominant school of Buddhism is Nyingma. The towns, however, have been developed with a mixture of both Eastern and Western design.
Bumthang
The Bumthang region is known as the spiritual heart of the kingdom, as it was here that Guru Rinpoche cured a local king of a spirit-induced ailment in the 8th century CE, an event that resulted in the king, and finally the whole country, embracing Buddhism.
Bumthang offers something for every kind of traveler: hiking, spiritual experiences or just lazing around doing nothing. Jakar Dzong, Jambay Lhakhang, Kurje Lhakhang, and Tamshing Lhakhang are some of the most visited monasteries, located amidst nature.
Photo: Bumthang Valley/ CCo
Kurjey Lhakhang
Kurjey Lhakhang in Jakar is a temple built around a cave with a body print of Guru Rinpoche embedded in the wall. Guru Rinpoche practiced meditation here on his first visit to Bhutan and as such, it is the earliest Buddhist relic in the country.
One of Bhutan's most sacred monasteries. A body print of Guru Rinpoche is preserved in a cave around which the oldest of the three buildings are built. The original building was constructed in 1652 by Trongsa Penlop, while the latest addition was added by the late Queen Mother Ashi Kesang Wangchuk in 1990.
Photo: Kurjey Lhakhang/CCo
Jambey Lhakhang
Jambey Lhakhang is located in Jakar. This is one of the 108 monasteries that were miraculously constructed by King Songten Gampo in one night. The monastery is located between Kurjey Lhakhang and Jakar Dzong.

Tharapaling Goemba
Tharpaling Goemba is located in Chhumey. Founded by the Dzogchen master Longchen Rabjam in 1352, the monastery was also home to the famous Nyingma guru Jigme Lingpa in the 18th century. It is located at 3,600m and is home to around 150 monks. It can be reached by an unpaved road.

Trongsa Dzong
This commanding dzong, high above the roaring Mangde Chhu, is perhaps the most spectacularly sited dzong in Bhutan, with a sheer drop to the south that often just disappears into cloud and mist.
This Dzong is connected by a succession of alley-like corridors, wide stone stairs, and beautiful paved courtyards. The southernmost part of the dzong, Chorten Lhakhang, the first hermitage built here.

Tamshing Goemba
Tamshing Goemba situated in Jakar is monastery established in 1501 by the local Buddhist saint Pema Lingpa. The two-story building contains some lovely frescoes and has a very low ceiling (apparently Pema Lingpa was very short!)
In addition, there is a 500-year-old suit of metal chain made by Pema Lingpa located on the first floor. It is considered auspicious to circumambulate the temple three times with the chain draped over the back and shoulders.
Photo: Tamshing Goemba/ CCo
Sumthrang Lhakang
Sumthrang Lhakhang, Shinyer Village, Ura. Several-hundred-year-old monasteries with a lot of simple but beautiful artwork. Those visiting in January should notice the two flowering trees near the main gate, while other trees of the same variety lay bare.
Legend states that these trees sprouted from a walking stick placed at the gate by the monastery's founder, Gyelwa Lhanangpa.
Phobjika Valley (Gangtey)
The valley of Phobjika is also popularly known as Gangtey. This pristine valley is a small village with some homes that are spread far and wide, amidst the green farms.
During the winter (October to mid-February) a rare species of black-necked crane visit this valley in large numbers. You can watch them at the Black Necked Crane Park in Gangtey. There is also the famous 17th-century Gangtey Monastery, enriched with paintings depicting Buddhism.

Experiences to have
Duer Hot Springs. A one day trek from road head. The trek is arduous but stunningly beautiful. Blue sheep, musk deer, and Himalayan bear are common in the Duer Hot Spring area.
Weaving houses. Chhumey is famous for its wool weavers, and it is possible to watch the work in action and to purchase items (called yethra) straight off the loom.
Wilderness backpacking. The region is perfect for long treks in the mountains.

Festival is an essential part of the Bhutanese culture and spirituality. The traditions of wearing masks began in the 8th century and it has immense significance for the mask dance during Tshechus.
Colorful masks are the reasons why the mask dance festivals in Bhutan appear to be appealing. Masks are usually carved out from the woods and redecorated with brilliant colors, beads matching with the costumes of traditional mask dancers or performers.

Best Time to Visit Central Bhutan
The best time would be during the months of April, October, November. The beginning of summer, post-monsoon or beginning of winter. The months which are considered not so ideal for the tourists are January, February, July, August as the weather can be a little harsh.
Jakar is the only place with international standard restaurants, though all villages have small eateries serving Bhutanese dishes. To know more about what the Bhutanese dishes are, visit the Bhutan page.

Taxi is the main means of transport for tourist. You have shared cabs, taxis for private people and the bus organized by your tour operator. But many towns in Central Bhutan are isolated and you might have to travel on foot to get to a few destinations apart from the major towns.
The roads are dirt roads and you should be up for a bumpy ride for most parts of it.
Generally, your stay will be organized by tour operators when you book the tour. If not you can always check out online options like booking.com and other sites to give you a good offer.
Most stays are in simple farmhouses or homestays as the Central part of Bhutan has not yet been developed for tourism.
How Safe is Central Bhutan
Here you do not have to worry about people, theft or robbery. But you do need to be aware of Bears. The area has a large population of bears, so be careful and take precautions when walking in isolated areas.

Late last night, I was able to attend a showing of the new movie, Jobs. I have been interested in this movie ever since production started and I saw some of the stills of Ashton Kutcher in the role of Steve Jobs. Kutcher certainly had the look down, but the obvious question was, could someone who was more associated with comedy and typically plays an airhead, do this role justice? It seemed like most of the tech media didn't even want to give him a chance because to many, he'll always be Michael Kelso from That 70's Show. That 70's Show is one of my favorite television comedies of all time, but I was willing to look passed that and see what he could do and hoped they did a good job with the story.
This movie does cover a lot of the same ground that has been covered before. It focuses mostly on the early life of Jobs/Apple Computer. From working out of Steve's parents garage, up to his ousting at Apple in 1985. All of this had been shown in the T.V. movie, Pirates of Silicon Valley, already and while the previous movie is a bit more historically accurate, this movie does present it in a more pleasing way for the viewer to ingest who wants the quick version. This movie does go a little beyond that with the mention of NeXT and showing when Steve was actually asked to come back to Apple.
One of the things I was curious about was wether or not this movie would glorify Steve Jobs as the perfect man that sometimes people think he was. Like anyone, he had some serious faults, especially in the early days and quite a few of these come out in the film. One of the big ones was how he treated people including the real brains behind the technology, Steve Wozniak. I was actually surprised that the movie even took the time to show Jobs time at Atari when he had Wozniak created the game Breakout and then took full credit and the majority of the money. The other obvious one, that was also shown even more so in Pirates of Silicon Valley , is how he handled things with his daughter Lisa in denying that she was even his daughter in the first place. There are also some of the more obvious things like really hammering on employees who didn't see things his way, parking in handicapped parking stalls, and not giving stock options to some of the people who were helping Apple from the very beginning. One big omission, in the last one mentioned, was the fact that Steve Wozniak actually sacrificed some of his shares to give to those employees, so they weren't completely left out. I kept waiting for a little mention of that during that part of the movie, but it never happened. I know the main focus of the movie is Jobs, but I think do think that is one of those little details that should have been covered.
Another omission, that I thought should have been in the movie, was the visit to Xerox PARC and the impact that it had on the Lisa and Mac. My only guess is that it had to do with run time of the film and the fact that it was also covered in Pirate of Silicon Valley as well, so they didn't want to do a rehash, but it is certainly an important event in the Apple timeline. However, I did like the quick mention later on about the new Mac OS (OS X) being built off of NeXT OS. I think that is a little tidbit that not everyone knows that isn't a techie and where a lot of the design elements from OS X actually came from like the dock.
Now, the big question, is how do I think Ashton did with the performance? Personally, I think he did very well. Along with the look, he was able to get a lot of the mannerisms and speech down. I think this role certainly pushed him to his limits and overall I was impressed. I would say though that two more emotional type scenes did take me out of the movie a little bit with how his performance was in those. One was just after Steve Wozniak tells him that he's going to leave Apple and Jobs visits the garage at home with an emotional visit with his father. Ashton is supposed to be crying, but it comes off as almost like he's laughing or just some kind of weird sound that just doesn't seem quite right. The other was when things were starting to go sour with him at Apple and on a drive home he does a huge yell that also just doesn't quite have the emotional impact that it should. However, having said that, I think these are two minor things and shouldn't stop someone from seeing the movie if they have an interest.
Overall, I think the film is enjoyable and does what I think it was probably set out to do. I think if you have an interest in the founding of Apple, Steve being ousted, and then the comeback that you'll enjoy it for what it is. It isn't a perfect factual representation, but I think any movie like this should be the gateway drug in making the viewer wanting to find out more and I think it accomplishes that. Anyone who hasn't done so after this movie, should then go on to watch Pirate of Silicon Valley or read the Walter Isaacson biography.
This also isn't the last film to come out ,as there is one based on the biography by Sony, that is in the works as well. It will be interesting to see how that one pans out and which one truly does end up being the better movie. I think the early story of Apple has been covered very well at this point and I'd more interested now in the story from the 2nd rise of Apple when Steve came back, Apple becoming a success again, and how behind the scenes he had to deal with cancer.
Here's a couple of videos that I thought were relevant to see again. The first is the iPod introduction which is very different from the movie. In the film Steve is presented as being much older and the crowd is more like a WWDC conference rather than a room of journalists at the Apple campus.
This other video is a demo of NeXT OS that anyone familiar with OS X will see the similarities that were then incorporated into OS X.

Does the spate of Grindr murders mean the app isn't safe?
Dating apps seem to be the last corner of the internet still steeped in suspicion.
By The Guyliner
Updated November 24, 2016 14:03 GMT
Stephen Port faces life in jail when he is sentenced for four murders Met Police
Regular users of Grindr could be forgiven today for wanting to set their phones on fire and chuck them in the sea, following yet another conviction of a killer who met his victim on the popular hookup app.
Stephen Port was found guilty this week of murdering four men he met on "orange Facebook", poisoning them with GHB, a drug often used by the LGBT community – but largely by gay men – when out partying or during sex. Port is the third killer in a year to have "found" his victims on Grindr, but does this mean we should be worried? Why are killers like Port choosing Grindr in particular? What is it about dating apps that makes us more vulnerable than any other way of meeting someone?
Straight sex has ruled TV for decades - why do we still never see gay sex?
Grindr is not a gay sex peep show for straight people
Homophobia investigated as potential reason police failed to catch Grindr serial killer Stephen Port
The thing with trying to work out why killers like Stephen Port, who was also convicted of counts of rape and sexual assault, choose their victims the way they do is that you're essentially trying to rationalise behaviour that is, by its very nature, irrational. It's accepted in modern society that wanting to kill random strangers isn't "normal", but it isn't hard to see what attracts murderers to apps like Grindr, over, say, heading to a gay bar and luring a victim back to their place.
As most of the wooing takes place over text, there's no sense of tone – it's practically a given that if you're after charm on Grindr, you'll be left wanting. So if someone says something that might sound a bit odd or dark, you give them the benefit of the doubt, assuming that, just like you, they too are awkward when it comes to being flirtatious over messages.
Transfer this conversation to a bar, however, and you'd be more likely to question it. You'd have their facial expression to guide you, you'd be surrounded by normality to bring you back to earth with a jolt. Context is key, and there's little room for nuance on a black screen. Add to the fact that there are plenty of guys who are bored or lonely or horny (or all three) waiting to talk to you – it's why everyone is there – and any potential threat knows that if someone sees through them, there'll always be someone else. Plus each conversation exists in isolation – there's no bar filled with people watching them clumsily chat up each patron in turn before getting rejected, or guy standing nearby to warn you: "That one's a weirdo, watch yourself".
But that's not to say we should be scared of using Grindr. It's difficult to say what we can actually do to keep ourselves safer when meeting up with strangers – all the usual rules and common-sense warnings tend to concentrate on vulnerable people being groomed or hoodwinked into meeting up. The difference with Grindr and its ilk is that everyone there is ready and willing – meeting up is the goal for both of you, usually as fast as possible.
Victims Anthony Walgate (L) and Jack Taylor Met Police
The feeling of unease hasn't been helped by the handling of the police investigation into the murders committed by Stephen Port. Officers on the case have been criticised – and in some cases placed under investigation themselves – for not joining the dots sooner and realising there was a repeat killer, using the same methods, targeting gay men. Incredibly, even when two of the victims were dumped in the exact same spot, weeks apart, police failed to make a connection, choosing instead to believe a slapdash suicide note – penned by the killer and left with the body – which claimed the second victim felt guilt over the death of the other, so chose to die in the exact same way.
The Metropolitan Police is now reviewing 58 unexplained deaths in London involving GHB, which occurred between June 2011 and October 2015.
A lack of understanding of the LGBT community, the drugs they take, the sex they have, and how and where they have it, was almost certainly a contributing factor, Independent Police Complaints Commission Stuart Cundy has admitted, and perhaps led to the police writing off the deaths as just another set of gay guys taking an overdose of drugs they couldn't handle.
Predictably, the police are now looking to shift the blame from their own myopic investigation by saying dating apps need to "take more responsibility" for their users' safety online. Quite how they propose the app-makers do this is anyone's guess. Chief Constable Jane Sawyers, who made the claim, certainly doesn't have any brainwaves to hand, beyond more warnings to "get to know the person, not the profile". Yeah, good one.
Victims Gabriel Kovari (L) and Daniel Whitworth Met Police
Peter Tatchell has blasted the police for ignoring evidence – including findings gathered by amateur detectives and victims' family members – which should have led them to issue a warning to the gay community. But while apprehending Port earlier would certainly have saved lives, would a warning like this have made any difference to the way we use apps like Grindr?
We're taught that our LGBT forebears fought for the equality that is supposed to make us feel safer and more secure, to be out and proud. We think of crimes against LGBT people as random hate crimes or attacks by heterosexual people; we never consider "our own" would want to get us too. Would a climate of fear and paranoia have caused us to stay at home alone, cowed, or made us more defiant, determined to go out and do whatever we wanted?
The thing with warning against meeting people online is that it's almost impossible to tell who's a weirdo until it's too late. Many a person, straight or gay, will have a Tinder or Grindr horror story, a tale of a freak-out or an uncomfortable situation. It's the chance you take.
Anyone worried there's likely to be a killer waiting behind every avatar should remember plenty of people meet on Grindr and don't end up killing each other eight months later, although Ben Bamford, 18, did when he murdered his 52-year-old partner. However fake that romance may have been – Bamford had substantial drug debts to pay off and it's thought this played a part – you can't blame the means that brought them together. If they'd met at a bus stop, would we be advising everyone to take Ubers instead?
Dating and hooking up online seems to be the last corner of the internet to still generate the suspicion and mistrust that other online services – cheap holidays that sound too good to be true, booking hotels or clothes shopping – managed to shake off years ago. This is why, largely, you have to take random hookups at face value and assume the other person is just as nervous about it all as you are and hope that this mutual wariness keeps you both safe.
If I were single, would it put me off? No, but it might make me monitor conversations more carefully and rethink how we met before being alone together. And even then, there are no guarantees of safety once you've got to know them better – most murder victims knew their killer. Keeping away from strangers isn't an option – for some of us, they're all we have.

Bolesław Biegas, właściwie Bolesław Biegalski (ur. 29 marca 1877 w Koziczynie koło Ciechanowa, zm. 30 września 1954 w Paryżu) – polski rzeźbiarz, malarz i dramatopisarz.

Życiorys
Urodził się w ubogiej rodzinie chłopskiej. Wcześnie osierocony przez rodziców, kierowany był do różnych zajęć – pasał bydło, był pomocnikiem stolarskim, terminował u drugorzędnego snycerza w Warszawie.

Punktem zwrotnym w jego życiu był rok 1896, gdy jego rzeźbami w glinie zainteresował się ciechanowski lekarz Franciszek Rajkowski, zabierając go do siebie, ułatwiając dalszą pracę rzeźbiarską, jak również naukę czytania i pisania. Z inspiracji Rajkowskiego powstała seria rzeźb przedstawiających wiejskie praktyki znachorskie. Rzeźby te, wraz z innymi dziełami nawiązującymi do życia wsi mazowieckiej (Kobieta z dzbanem, Oberek, Odpoczynek), zaprezentowane zostały na wystawie higienicznej w Warszawie, zwracając na siebie uwagę "Tygodnika Ilustrowanego" i "Kuriera Warszawskiego". Dzięki Rajkowskiemu zyskał też Biegas protektora w osobie Aleksandra Świętochowskiego, który na łamach "Prawdy" rozpoczął akcję zmierzającą do zgromadzenia środków na kształcenie młodego artysty. Apel spotkał się z szerokim odzewem, a pieniądze od anonimowych często ofiarodawców wpływały na rachunek Rajkowskiego lub wręczano je Świętochowskiemu.

Jesienią 1896 r. Biegas rozpoczął studia w krakowskiej Akademii Sztuk Pięknych, gdzie kształcił się pod kierunkiem Konstantego Laszczki. Na uczelni pozostał do 1901 r., rychło stając się wyróżnianym nagrodami i medalami członkiem awangardowej secesji wiedeńskiej. Przeszedł wówczas od tematyki religijnej i rodzajowej do naturalizmu (Śpiący rycerze, Ludzkość), a następnie kompozycji symbolicznych (Jesień, Rozmowa myśli, Noc). Po otrzymaniu stypendium Towarzystwa Zachęty Sztuk Pięknych w Warszawie wyjechał do Paryża, gdzie zdobył niezwykły rozgłos i powodzenie. Związał się ze środowiskiem polskim, przyjaźniąc się zwłaszcza ze znakomitą artystką Olgą Boznańską. Został członkiem Polskiego Towarzystwa Historyczno-Literackiego, któremu pod koniec życia zapisał cały majątek i dorobek artystyczny.

]

Bolesław Biegas uważany jest za czołowego przedstawiciela kierunku symboliczno-secesyjnego nie tylko w rzeźbie polskiej. Mimo to zdołał zachować indywidualną formę swej twórczości, która zadziwia wyjątkowym zróżnicowaniem i bogactwem tematyki. Sławę przyniosły mu popiersia portretowe, zwłaszcza znakomite popiersie Boznańskiej. Z powodzeniem podejmował wątki muzyczne (Chopin, Berlioz, Wagner), jak i literackie (Mickiewicz, Krasiński, Słowacki). Szczególny zachwyt wywołały kompozycje symboliczne, których przedmiotem były treści łatwiejsze do wyrażenia w literaturze niż rzeźbie. Dzieła te, jak Rozmowa myśli, Marzenie, Wicher, Przestrzeń, wymuszały odejście od form realistycznych na rzecz secesyjnej niematerialności i płynności kształtów.
Tworzył dzieła o walorach prekursorskich, odbiegających od modnego stylu secesyjnego. Uważa się, że np. Księga życia wyprzedziła syntetyczne kompozycje Xawerego Dunikowskiego, zaś prace Ziemia, Miłość śmierci, Pałace zaczarowane, realizowały wizje, które dopiero za 20 lat narodzą się w wyobraźni surrealistów.

Po I wojnie światowej aktywność rzeźbiarska Biegasa osłabła na rzecz malarstwa. Z bogatej twórczości malarskiej, uwagę zwraca cykl kilkudziesięciu obrazów Wampiry wojny wykonany w latach 1914-18 i będący potępieniem jej bezwzględnej bezmyślności. Dał się też poznać jako dramaturg (Owczarek, Lechit, Michał Anioł, Saturń i inne).
Kontakt z krajem, wyrażający się udziałem w licznych wystawach warszawskich i krakowskich, ustał niemal zupełnie w okresie międzywojennym. Po II wojnie światowej artysta już niemodny, egzystował w niezmiernie prymitywnych warunkach. Zapomniała go też Polska.

Renesans zainteresowania twórczością Bolesława Biegasa łączy się z docenieniem dziedzictwa secesji i sztuki międzywojnia. Od lat 70. XX wieku francuscy i polscy historycy sztuki organizują liczne wystawy, na których prezentowane są jego dzieła malarskie i rzeźbiarskie. Najważniejszą z nich jest stała ekspozycja poświęcona Biegasowi w Muzeum Mazowieckim w Płocku otwarta 14 maja 2011 roku. Wystawa Bolesław Biegas. Malarstwo i rzeźba skupia ponad 230 prac pochodzących ze zbiorów Polskiego Towarzystwa Historyczno-Literackiego/Biblioteki Polskiej w Paryżu, Muzeum Mazowieckiego w Płocku oraz z prywatnej kolekcji Roberta Szustkowskiego. Na wystawie zaprezentowane są obrazy z różnych cyklów tematycznych: Wampiry wojny, Sferyzm, Mistyka nieskończoności, a także prace rzeźbiarskie ze wszystkich okresów twórczości.

Twórczość Biegasa ponownie cieszy się dużym zainteresowaniem kolekcjonerów, a jego malarstwo i rzeźba osiąga coraz wyższe ceny.

6 maja 2015 r. w Warszawie została otwarta największa na świecie ekspozycja stała malarstwa i rzeźby Bolesława Biegasa. Ekspozycja została uruchomiona dzięki kooperacji Fundacji im. Bolesława Biegasa oraz Biblioteki Polskiej w Paryżu.

29 lipca 2016 r. w Ciechanowie został odsłonięty ogromny mural, inspirowany obrazem Wątpliwe pytania Bolesława Biegasa, wykonany przez Michała Kowalczyka (autor projektu), Justynę Szeligę, Mateusza Ługowskiego i Katarzynę Gągol.

Zmarł 30 września 1954 r. w Paryżu i został pochowany na cmentarzu polskim w Montmorency. Na jego nagrobku widnieje błędna data urodzenia (1879), powtarzana bardzo często w literaturze (łącznie z wydawnictwami encyklopedycznymi).

W dniu 7 kwietnia 2017 Sejm Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej podjął uchwałę upamiętniającą artystę Bolesława Biegasa w 140-lecie urodzin.

Matt LeBlanc Would Be A Waiter If Not For FRIENDS! Know His Story Before The Show
Surya Das
Today, we very well know the lead characters of the famous TV show, Friends. They have gained a lot of love, fame, and money because of their hard work and efforts. But things were not the same at the beginning of their career. However, today we have reached a point where we can't help but always keep track of their upcoming movies and TV shows because we love them so much. We even don't fail to know about their personal life. All six actors gained huge popularity after their successful 10-years in the show. Offers started pouring into their hands after this. But, how was their life before that? Definitely, this show has been a turning point for all of them but for some of them, it was a life-saving opportunity. Like Bob Brown once said, "Behind every successful man there's a lot of unsuccessful years". This goes aptly well with Matt LeBlanc. He has a really strong story, motivational enough for every one of us to keep going in our career and wait for that one big shot. Let's read further to know-how.
Matt LeBlanc's Career Struggle Before FRIENDS
Matt began his career in the glamour world as a model and was simultaneously working on his acting skills. Like many struggling actors, even he started his acting career with small television commercials. He didn't stop with just commercials. He even appeared in many music videos like Alanis Morrisette's "Walk Away" in 1991, Tom Petty's "Into the Great Wide Open" and Jon Bon Jovi's "Miracle" in 1990.
Matt's Entry Into TV Series World

Yes, FRIENDS was not the first TV Series that Matt worked in. After doing a few TV commercials and making appearances in music videos, Matt took a step ahead and started working on TV Shows. His first TV Show was TV 101. Although he appeared in just 13 episodes of that show, he never failed to leave a great impression through his acting skills. Soon after this show, he was seen in "Just the Ten of Us" in 1989. In the year 1991, he appeared in two TV shows at the same time namely, "Top of the Heap" and "Married with Children". Again in 1992, he was seen playing the role of Vinnie Verducci in the show "Vinnie and Bobby".
The life-changing opportunity for LeBlanc.
Even though he gave brilliant performances in many tv series, his shows were not hitting the success level he deserved. Things became so worse that by the year 1994, Matt was completely broke. In one of his interviews he mentioned that while he auditioned for the FRIENDS TV show, he only had $11 in his pocket. He also amused us all with an incident he narrated about filing his uneven tooth.
He said that there was a time he went to get his first headshot to show to casting agents. He came across a photographer who suggested him to file down his teeth. Having taken the advice, he went to see a dentist who quoted him a cost of $80 for the job. But those were the days of struggle where Matt was without insurance and the amount seemed too high for him!
Solution: He went to the drug store and bought a three-pack of emery boards to do the filing himself. He jokingly added that he is really frugal. Well, we would like to believe you Matt but we can understand how much you have struggled to reach your position.
Even after cutting out his expenditure he was left with only $11 before he got the part in Friends. He also reached a point where he almost thought of taking up the job of a waiter but fate had better things planned already!
In case if he would have missed the part of Joey Tribbiani then we might not have seen Matt in the entertainment world at all. He already made his mind to give up on his acting career and look for a job as a waiter.
His original life looks very similar to his character Joey Tribbiani, isn't it? In Friends, Joey had to struggle a lot before he could get a real part as an actor and earn good money. The same happened with Matt as he had to struggle his way out to reach Friends.
There was a scene in Friends where Joey didn't have insurance and couldn't afford his hernia operation. He had to go through a lot of pain before he could get that operation done. Well, Matt never got a hernia but he surely didn't have his insurance to pay for medical bills back in those days. Looks like the writers were influenced by the life of Matt LeBlanc while writing Joey's character.

FRIENDS was favoured from the very first season. All the six lead characters started gaining a huge fan base. The show is still considered one of the best shows from the '90s. By the time they reached the final season, all of them demanded a solid 1 million dollars for each episode. With this, they also became the first ones to get paid such a huge amount. The cast also won the Screen Actors Guild award in the year 1996. Matt was also working in many movies during that time. Like (Lost in Space in 1998), (Charlie's Angels in 2000 and its sequel Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, in 2003) and (All the Queen's Men in 2001).
Even after the show ended, Matt didn't have to let go of his character "Joey Tribbiani". In 2004 a show was launched as a Friends spinoff named Joey. It was a show exclusively made for Matt LeBlanc seeing his huge fanbase, although this show wasn't that successful. The show was cancelled mid-season in 2006. After this, he made appearances in Lisa Kudrow's show "Web Therapy". He got his next big break in Episodes. He has won three Emmy Awards for his role in "Episodes". Matt Leblanc was last seen on-screen in the tv show "Man with a Plan" which aired from 2016-2020.

So for a guy who was almost taking up the job of a waiter to reaching a position which most actors die for, it's a huge change in life he has experienced. He is a man who teaches us not to give up in life. If you believe in yourself that you can do something good in life then cling to it. Your time might be late, but it will come if you are true to your cause.

The Salesforce Blog with Tailored Goodness
Garry Polmateer Post a Comment Share @darthgarry
Each step is uphill, but each step has taken us higher.
Tom's thoughtful post about his "Why" for starting Red Argyle resonates with me the same way it did in 2011, except I was lucky enough to experience it first hand! Tom took the fragile idea of Red Argyle and poured his passion and energy into it to the point where former "on and off" work turned into more "on and on" work than one person could handle. At that time in my life, I was exploring professional options and thought maybe Red Argyle would be a great place to do some contracting and bill some hours while I figured out what I wanted to do with myself.
Conversations were had, lamb chops were grilled (remember the food theme?), and after a few late nights of dreaming, I was blown away when Tom invited me to the business as a partner. To this day there's not a moment I don't appreciate Tom's leap of faith, and I've done everything I can to help make the Red Argyle dream succeed! If I were playing a game of poker, you could say I went "All In" and put my chips down for Red Argyle.
So I have a question for you, what do 21 Pilots, Mumford and Sons, Metallica, Beck, Live, and Our Lady Peace have in common? They're all bands Tom and I have seen together for fun! While we have similar music tastes, our brains are wired differently, and that's our secret to success. Tom is analytical (with a deep architectural and design background) and I'm more of a storyteller with enough tech chops to get the job done. We've always celebrated our differences and amplified each other's strengths. Our joke is we're two sides of a brain. I feel very fortunate that after my 9+ years here, we're still friends and have fun doing what we're doing. Nothing feels better than knowing you have each other's backs!
Tom and Garry at Dreamforce 2011, first year representing Red Argyle together
There were two inflection points in our evolution at Red Argyle and our relationship that set us up for success. The first was at the beginning, it happened about a few months after we started. We hired employee number one. I know companies who go years before staffing up. We flipped the script and started very early with a team that grew steadily between 2010 and 2016. During that time we matured and learned how to be a company and deliver great work with consistently positive outcomes.
In mid-2016 Tom and I made the startling realization that we don't need to co-sell everything. In the theme of capitalizing on our strengths, I started owning sales while Tom took on architecture and delivery. This gave me some runway to spend the time that was needed to win, and that sure worked. In early 2017, I was driving home from a project meeting and I got a phone call from none other than Google. With my new-found time to focus on sales, I spent 3 weeks attacking every line of an RFP and we were lucky enough to win our first contract there. Since then we've been fortunate enough to continue working there along with other global brands to fill their Complex, Custom, and Weird Salesforce needs. I mean, who thinks parking enforcement is cool? On Salesforce, it is VERY COOL!
2017 Onward things accelerated on all fronts. Sales became not just a full-time job, but now a full-time job for four of us. We have marketing support. We have a finance and "Argyler Ops" team to support our staff. And that's backed up by an army of Argylers delivering solutions to our customers through the Consulting, Development, and Configuration practices. As of today, our team is just over 40 people, and I expect more by year's end. Who knew this would be possible?!
Looking ahead, challenges abound. We're not through the COVID-19 pandemic and 2020 was the most difficult year we've had. The best decision we made this spring was to double down on our team and we echoed Salesforce pledge for no layoffs. Thankfully we made it through with the whole team intact. Good thing we did because right now we can't hire fast enough! With all that said, we're keeping an eye on the future and moving in a way that we feel can weather another storm. As my Mom always said, "It's getting brighter". It used to refer to the weather when we were camping, but in this case, I think it also applies to the pandemic and the global ability to recover. Might be a few dark days ahead but on the far horizon, it's getting brighter!
To get to this milestone, we have so many people to thank that it would be impossible to fit in a blog – but here's a few:
Our Argylers! Thank you for the hard work over the years and for continuing to live in the "discomfort zone" of growth and challenge
Our customers, who have given us the runway to build and do complex, custom, and weird things for you on the Salesforce Platform! Cheers to weirdness!
Mentors who have taken the time to help us be successful. Words of wisdom shared that changed our lives. We promise to pay it forward and help those who we can!
Salesforce for the support over the years, 10 years of being an SI and ISV partner!
Marc Benioff for being a personal inspiration and making Organizational Philanthropy a cornerstone of our company. 1% all the way!
Jessica, my wife! She helped me decide to go on this adventure! My kids as well who are champs about putting up with my travel schedule and penchant for late-night emails.
With all of the words above and excitement about being in business for 10 years, I'd be remiss if I didn't say that all that experience has woven into the company you see today. We're still as hungry as we were in 2010 and looking to help bend Salesforce to your will. If you feel so inclined, we'd love to talk.
Hire us and you're going to get:
Owners who care deeply about the business and successful project outcomes
Transparent, Articulate, and Purposeful work
A partner who gives back to the community
A chance to work with some great people, a gang of technology-enabled creatives who are interested in the complex, the custom, and the weird types of projects and needs with enough enterprise experience to make it work in any company in the known universe
Affordable – being based in Upstate NY, we're able to offer onshore work at offshore prices with decades of experience on our team. While we won't always be the lowest cost option, I do believe pound for pound we've got the right value proposition for you.

Under the hood of Alteryx: tips, tricks and how-tos.
5 Tools & 5 Awesome Features
Ramesh_Neel
On the back of my blog post on 10 tips and tricks (which can be found here). I thought it was time to talk about some powerful and amazing features of some tools which mostly go unnoticed. It's time to celebrate them :)
1. Find Replace Tool
To me, Find Replace is one of the most underrated tools in Alteryx, given what it is capable of, and is mostly overshadowed by its big sibling, the Join tool. Given its name - Find Replace, people often tend to look at it as a way to replicate the Excel VLookup functionality of simply finding a certain string in another string and replacing them. But what I love the most about this tool is the 'Append Field(s) to the Record,' which works like an outer join. So in scenarios where you would want the non-matching records also to be included in your output, rather than using a Join tool and further a union tool to club both the data sets together, you can use the Find Replace tool with the option 'Entire Fied' and 'Match Whole Word Only' selected (to replicate an inner join behaviour to find exact matches) and link two data sets together on the common field under 'Find within Field' and 'Find Value,' and all you have to do next is click on Append Field(s) to Record and select the fields you would like to be part of your final data set.
In the below example, the first data set contains 8 US states, and the second dataset contains US states along with state codes, region, and division. Our aim is to find the state codes, regions, and division against each state from the first data set and produce final data with these fields. Please note that some states do not have a corresponding entry in the second data set, but we would want every record from the first data set.
One way to achieve this is to use a Join tool and link the two datasets and add a union tool further to include the states with no corresponding state code, region, and division. But the easy way would be to use the Find and Replace tool with the append functionality as below!
As you can see, we have not used any Union tool here, but the final output automatically includes States with no state code, region, and division in the final output!
2. Join Multiple Tool
So, you thought the only time anyone would ever use Join Multiple is when there are more than two input data sets? Not really! This tool works perfectly fine with two datasets as well, and the bonus is that, like the Find Replace Tool above, it returns the unmatched records from all your inputs eliminating the need to have a combination of Join + Union from both your inputs.
Let's look at the below example. I have used a dataset like the one in the Find Replace tool example above, but the difference is that the second data set here has two additional states that are not present in the first dataset. (Nebraska and New Hampshire). Our goal is to link the two datasets on State and State Name and produce a dataset of matching and unmatching records.
Traditionally, we would use a Join tool and club it with a Union tool from all three anchors of the join tool (L, J, and R) to produce a final dataset. But the easiest way to achieve the same results without the use of a Union tool is to use the Join Multiple tool. Yes, that's right, and here is the output! Super cool! Isn't it?
3. Cross Tab Tool
The Cross Tab tool needs no introduction. In simple terms, it is used to pivot data from a vertical layout to a horizontal layout. But it also has a feature that I have found incredibly useful in many situations. Let's look at this data set of region-wise sales figures between 2020 and 2022, which you want to pivot so that years appear as columns and region appears as rows, and sales figures are added up together.
Pivoted:
But what if you want to also add row-wise and column grand totals to the final output? No problem at all! Cross Tab tool has you covered. All you need to do is select 'Total Column' and 'Total Row' along with 'Sum' in this scenario as we want to add up all the sales figures under the 'Method of Aggregating Values' section, as shown in the below screenshot, and hit run.
(You can add a formula tool and replace the null region with 'Total' and rename the headers as well to make it even more meaningful.)
4. Summarize Tool
Did you know that Summarize tool can be applied to a dataset produced by a reporting tool like a Table tool to split your dataset either vertically or horizontally (which cannot be done by a Cross Tab tool)? Let's look at an example and see how this works.
Below is an output of a Table tool with the Pivot method set as Cross Tab producing month-wise sales split by Gender, but you want to display the data set horizontally instead of vertically. No need to scratch your head if you have the Summarize tool! (Data set downloaded from Kagle.com.)
All we need to do is add a Summarize tool next to the Table tool, connect them together and change the Action to Combine Horizontal to pivot the table output.
And here is the output!
5. Explorer Box
Wait! What? Explorer tool? What is that? That's the common reaction I get from most people every time I mention this tool. Yes, there is such a tool called an Explorer box which can be used to display URLs or File Directories! Here is an example where I have used this tool in my workflow in Alteryx Designer linking to a local drive on a machine that has Alteryx samples. It behaves exactly like windows explorer, and you can sort any fields and even drag and drop a file from here to your Alteryx designer. Quite handy in a workflow that uses file inputs, and you would want to see what files are sitting in a specific folder without having to navigate that folder frequently.
So these are some of the features that I have found incredibly powerful. I hope you find them useful too. In case you have come across something similar, please feel to share them via the comment section below :)

As we work toward the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 90-90-90 targets, what methods can best help us reach 90 percent of all people living with HIV? How must traditional approaches to testing and outreach adapt to reach all sectors of society?
One strategy MSH and others have employed to reach the first 90 is index case testing. In index case testing, a person with confirmed HIV infection (an index case) is asked to contact family members (children, spouse, sexual partners, siblings, and parents) to invite them to be tested for HIV. With support from the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), index case testing has become an integral part of MSH projects in a number of countries.

Women helped propel Ron DeSantis to victory as governor, and two prominent women in his administration say they'll work closely with him to help him succeed.
TALLAHASSEE — Women helped propel Ron DeSantis to victory as governor, and two prominent women in his administration say they will work closely with him to help him succeed.
"Certainly women were a key component of our campaign and our success, and we want to keep honing in on that," incoming first lady Casey DeSantis said Monday during a breakfast meeting with about 100 women who helped the campaign.
Casey DeSantis joined Jeanette Nuñez, DeSantis' lieutenant governor, to celebrate the role the women played in his victory and to outline their roles in helping the new governor succeed.
"We had, in fact, more women than men working in this campaign, working in leadership roles, and I think that really says a lot," Casey DeSantis said.
She is described as the newly elected governor's closest adviser and a secret weapon for the campaign.
Nuñez, when she and DeSantis are sworn in Tuesday, will become the highest-ranking Hispanic woman to be elected in Florida history. She will be the third woman to hold that post in the state's history.
The incoming first lady and lieutenant governor said they intend to take on more active roles than their positions historically have played.
Nuñez, who served in the state House since 2010 before joining DeSantis' campaign, said she will be key to introducing him to the Florida legislative process. The Cuban-American most recently served as speaker pro tempore under former House Speaker Richard Corcoran, a staunch conservative picked by DeSantis to lead the state's education department.
"I think given my background as a legislator I will certainly be involved in bridging the gap with the legislative process," Nuñez said in an interview after the breakfast.
Nuñez said she expects to take an active role in a number of policy areas, including health care. While she did not provide specifics, she said she hopes to "keep the integrity" of the Medicaid program, the joint state-federal health program that serves low-income residents.
"I think we will take a look at how to keep the integrity of the (Medicaid) program. We want to make sure Medicaid works for the recipients and that it is affordable and that it's quality access," she said.
During the campaign, DeSantis was criticized for not releasing a detailed health plan. Nuñez, however, quickly stepped up on that issue as chairwoman of the administration's Transition Advisory Committee on Health and Wellness, a panel that has held a handful of discussions on keeping health care costs down and battling addiction and mental health problems.
Nuñez's experience in the Florida Legislature is sure to help DeSantis, whose short political career has been spent in Washington, D.C.
"D.C. politics are ruled differently than Tallahassee politics, but at the end of the day it is about relationships, and I have longstanding relationships with our current legislators and leaders," Nuñez said. "But obviously, Ron has been forming those relationships. Many of them endorsed him during the primary and general election."
House Speaker Jose Oliva, R-Miami Lakes, was among the first to endorse DeSantis. The key endorsement came during the GOP primary when DeSantis faced Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, the candidate who early on was the party establishment's favorite.
"He recognizes that the legislative branch is important to his success, so he is going to continue to form those relationships, and I certainly hope to be helpful in that regard," Nuñez said.
Casey DeSantis, who said Monday the family will move into the governor's mansion, also is planning on taking an active role in state government as first lady.
"This is an honor that I don't take lightly. So when people ask what is your one signature issue, I really say with humility and grace, I would like to pick more than one. I want to do whatever I can to support the people of Florida," she said.

Who doesn't like the delicious breakfast egg on Sunday or the homemade scrambled eggs? The eggs are not only bought from local farmers, but mainly in large supermarkets.
But now there is a change: not outwardly, but in terms of the production background. Shredding male chicks was still allowed in Germany until the end of 2021 – but this has been banned since January 1st.
This is Aldi:
Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd are two separate corporate groups in Essen and Mülheim
Aldi stands for Albrecht-Discount: In 1913, Karl Albrecht started his own bread retailer in Essen
In 1962 the family business was converted into a pure discounter and was given the current name "Aldi"
The division into north and south took place in 1961
Aldi is now one of the ten largest retail groups in the world
So it is no longer allowed to sell eggs in the supermarkets whose production involves shredding male chicks. However, there are still loopholes: In the case of processed products, the eggs could come from abroad and were produced by "killing chicks"
The eggs in the supermarkets now come from a different manufacturing process.

According to the "Tagesschau", the Association of Egg Producers in Germany (BVei) is calling for a change in finished products as well. The situation is also uncertain at weekly markets or in farm shops. There it is possible that the eggs come from abroad.
More news about Aldi:
Every year around 45 million male chicks were killed shortly after hatching in German hatcheries. The reason: They neither produce eggs nor can they be used as broiler chickens – from the point of view of companies, to put it simply, they are simply "not economical".

Using the idea that the division of labor is limited not only by the extent of the market but also by its heterogeneity, it is proposed in this paper that ''globalisation'' is redrawing the lines of division within and between countries. Our model builds on the concept of productive systems. Our results indicate that progressive trade integration among ''similar'' countries lead first to disparities between countries and then to convergence between nations but also to inequalities within nations (thus possibly accounting for the deterioration of the labor market situation of the unskilled). It is also shown that trade integration among rich economies and/or rising skills therein can lead to the marginalisation of poorer countries (thus possibly accounting for the convergence of countries in the world economy towards a twin-peaked distribution and the delinking of some countries from the world trading system).

The best lenses for photographing the Milky Way are fast wide-angles. By "fast" I mean a lens with an f-stop of f2.8 or lower. You can get away with an f4 lens, but an f2.8 lens is better. Every full stop down collects twice as much light as the previous stop. So an f2.8 lens will collect twice as much light as an f4 lens. This means you can use a lower iso, which means less noise. It also mean you can opt for a shorter shutter speed, which means less streaking of the stars.
A wide-angle lens will let you capture more of the sky and include foreground elements for a better composition. For full-frame cameras, stick with 24mm or less. You can get nice shots with longer focal lengths, especially if you shoot to stitch a panoramic, but 24mm or less will generally give you the most pleasing single-shot results.
For APS-C cameras, stick in the 10-16mm range. This will give you the full-frame equivalent of roughly 15-24mm.
When researching lenses, check what they say about coma – comatic aberration. It stretches points of light, like stars, at the edge of the frame, giving them "wings". Most lenses have some coma, especially the super wide and fast lenses, but less is better.
Below are some lenses recommended specifically for astrophotography. These are all lenses that I own or have owned, or would consider buying.

Some people have complained that there a quality control issues, with variations from sample to sample. I've owned three Samyang/Rokinon lenses and never had a problem.
Rokinon 14mm f2.8 – This is a classic among night photographers. Samyang makes two versions – a manual focus and an autofocus. At under $300, the manual focus is a bargain and a great entry-level lens for astrophotography. The autofocus version also comes with weather sealing and runs about $800.
Rokinon 14mm SP (Special Performance) f2.4 – The 14mm f2.4 SP is faster, sharper and has better build quality than the f2.8 version. Manual focus. I own this lens and like it. About $800.
Sigma 14mm f1.8 Art – Super fast and sharp. Autofocus. $1489.
Tamron 15-30mm f2.8 – This has become a very popular lens for astrophotography. I haven't used it yet, but it gets great reviews, and is on my short list. $1099.
Samyang 24mm f1.8 – Super fast and very sharp. The picture at the top of the page was shot with this lens. Manual focus. $400-$500.
Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 – Fast and sharp. Autofocus. About $800.
Tokina 11-20mm f2.8 – Fast and good focal length. Autofocus. About $500.
Rokinon 16mm f.2 – Like the Rokinon 14mm for full frame cameras, the 16mm is class entry-level lens for astrophotography. Manual focus. About $350.
