Earthworks: Reflecting Art at the End of the 1980s | KCET
Maxwell Williams is a freelance writer based in Cypress Park, Los Angeles. His essays about art and culture have appeared in The New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, W, Grantland, Interview, The Hollywood Reporter, GOOD, and Art in America.
Artbound digs into KCET's vaults to uncover groundbreaking arts and culture programming from the 1970's, 80's, and 90's. Tune into KCET to watch Artbound Presents Flashback Moments: Artworks/Earthworks on Thursday, October 2 at 9 p.m. PST. Check local listings here.
Land art was a major art movement that rose to prominence during the 1960s and 1970s, where artists interacted with the land and the world around us. By 1990, the movement began to fade, but even today artists like Maya Lin and Eberhard Bosslet are creating pieces that commune with the land in similar ways. Land art uses the Earth -- that massive part of our every modicum of existence -- as a collaborator.
Lita Albuquerque, the first artist featured in KCET's "Earthworks" episode from 1990, held the notion of the Earth as a timeless object -- in her case, at the time, she was using dry lake beds in the desert as a canvas. For "Spine of the Earth," Albuquerque -- who rose to prominence in the early-1970s -- worked with students at Long Beach State University to lay pigment in a spiral on the desert floor at El Mirage Dry Lake. The work would become a seminal piece of early-1990s environmental art, and Albuquerque would re-interpret it during the Getty Museum's 2012 Pacific Standard Time Performance Festival with hundreds of volunteers holding the pigment above their heads at the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook in Culver City. "It's using the earth as a blank canvas," she told KCET in this 1990 "Earthworks" episode.
Lita Albuquerque, "Spine of the Earth"
Having come to renown for wrapping buildings in the 1960s and 70s, Bulgarian-born artist Christo and his then living Moroccan wife Jeanne-Claude were two of the most famous environmental artists by 1990, when they filmed the second portion of Earthworks, "The Umbrellas (Joint Project for Japan & USA)." The video, shot in Gorman, California, follows the artist as he prepares to install 1700 giant (20-foot tall, 29-foot diameter) umbrellas simultaneously in two inland valleys -- one north of Los Angeles and the other in Ibaraki, north of Tokyo, Japan. "They have a strong nomadic character. What we are really building is houses without walls," said Christo at the time, referring to his intent to reference painting, urban planning, and architecture, while at the same time comparing the two inland valleys.
The exhibition would open a year later, but on October 26th, 1991, a gust of wind toppled one of the 485-pound umbrellas, crushing a female spectator to death and injuring several others. Christo ordered the exhibition closed immediately, but another death occurred during the de-installation.
The next subject in "Earthworks" is the Crawford House, built by Morphosis Architects, led by a then-relatively unknown architect named Thom Mayne. Mayne would later go on to big things, but the Crawford House was really his first major undertaking. The house is a wonder, a circular residence that surrounds the grassy hillside landscape, never really reconciles interior and exterior space, while acting as an intermediary between sky and Earth. "I've always had the sense that, especially in this country, there this notion of man over nature, and the notion of the building, which supersedes the site, which is always placed on the site to communicate that it's more important the site," Mayne told KCET. "In this case, we were trying to find a balance. The building is surrounding the site, gathering the site."
The Crawford House propelled Mayne to prominence, and soon his designs were being built all over the world. Some of his most famous buildings include the San Francisco Federal Building (2006), the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration building in Suitland, Maryland (2007), the Perot Museum of Nature & Science in Houston, Texas, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Hall at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York (2013). In 2005, Mayne won the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the highest award for an architect in the world. So, it's especially interesting to see him talk so candidly about a private residence in Southern California on the show.
"Earthworks" then presents "An Excursion with Richard Misrach," following the already famous landscape photographer -- his book "Desert Cantos" had won the 1988 Infinity Award from the International Center for Photography -- as he wanders around, snapping shots of the Salton Sea. The Los Angeles-born Misrach drawls alternately about the formation of the mysterious body of water in the middle of the desert (an irrigation accident from the Colorado River in 1905) to why he was drawn to the disastrous site.
By 1990, Misrach says, the Salton Sea had transformed from the resort town it was in the 1950s to a symbol of death -- the high salinity in the water causes fish to die off at rapid rates, which in turn causes a rotten smell in its presence. The surrounding resort town became ruins, which was what attracted Misrach. "As opposed to photographing, like Ansel Adams going and finding these perfect, unsullied pearls of wilderness, I'm more interested in what we've done to the wilderness and that relationship," Misrach told KCET.
Misrach's most famous shots of the Salton Sea -- including "Diving Board" -- were actually shot in 1983-84, but the place continued to be a favorite location for Misrach. To this day, Misrach continues to photograph the relationship between man and environment. A year after this episode was shot, he would be included in the Whitney Biennial, and he would go onto receive several National Endowment of the Arts Fellowships, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a mid-career survey at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts in 1996.
"Earthworks" ends with Rachel Rosenthal doing a special excerpted presentation of her performance art piece "L.O.W. in GAIA" (1986), which she had recently done a full-version of at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) in March of 1990 to a glowing review in the L.A. Times. L.O.W., she explains early on in the dramatic work, stands for Loner on Wheels, which she recalls getting called by an old man while on a solo road trip through the Mojave Desert. Monologue-ing directly into the camera on a spare set, the ever-wry Rosenthal proceeds to draw a 60 on her smoothly shaven head, her age at the time, while lamenting her aging spirit, and arranging cattle bones in the sand at her feet. "Of course, I'm not a dweller. I'm a tourist," she says of Gaia, the primordial personification of the Earth in Greek mythology.
Rosenthal was already a legend by the time this video was shot, having hung around with John Cage, Merce Cunningham, and Robert Rauschenberg in the 1950s, before moving to California and becoming involved with the Ferus Gallery scene. Her "Instant Theater" at the Cast Theatre was a hit, and she later earned prominence in the 1970s as a member of the first wave of feminist artists. She retired from performing in 2000 to focus on animal rights activism, but she still paints in Los Angeles.

Wastren, as far as design/ web design projects go, was probably my best success. We rethought the entire brand and even designed a brand Handbook which they utilize to keep a consistent look and feel across all media. The website design was a reflection of the brand. Plain and simple and it works. I leveraged some jQuery image transition scripts to add effects to the homepage. But overall the site is just simple clean code and nice design. Very happy with this piece.

Website 1 To the Mountain is a presentation of essays in honour of George F. McLean, who has been of immense service to the philosophical community over the past four decades. Like a rishi, he performs his philosophical activity with selfless service. McLean, the author of 15 books and more than 100 edited volumes, occupies a unique position among philosophical scholars. The Council for Research in Values and Philosophy, under his guidance, has been bringing out volumes on Cultural Heritage and the Foundations of Social Life, representing different cultures of the world.
2 The present volume, edited by William Sweet and Hu Yeping, contains contributions by world-renowned authors from different regions of the globe – Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and Central and South America.
Views from Asia
3 In his paper, »Pluralistic Culture Versus Cultural Pluralism«, Tran Van Doan (Taiwan) argues against cultural pluralism by saying that there are category-mistakes in the post-modern approach which prescribes cultural pluralism. He further says that there is a misapplication of the categories of the exact sciences to the human sciences. The pluralistic culture is guided by reason, the author claims. He examines the principle of participation supported by Thomas Aquinas and the principle of communion supported by Gadamer, and shows how they help in the fusion of horizons to the pluralistic culture.
4 In the paper, »Openness to the Other in Chinese Philosophy«, Vincent Shen (Canada) speaks in favour of the principle of openness and generosity to the other. He applies this principle in the religious understanding of Zhu Xi, who talks about the concept of Ultimate Other. This principle of Other is universalisable according to the author. The openness to the other should lead to the Ultimate Other.
5 In his brilliant paper, »The Advaita View of Death and Immortality«, R. Balasubramanian (India) explains how immortality is attainable in this very life. He asks the question whether death is an extinction of the human being. His analysis shows that the word »empirical self«, which refers to man, is the combination of both matter and mind. The real, he says, is that which remains all the time and which is not subjected to sublation at any time.
6 Kiriti Bunchua (Thailand) is in search of Thai identity in philosophy in his short, but interesting paper. He claims that there is a real and authentic Thai philosophy hidden in the bosom of the Thai tradition. The Thai way of truth is as follows: »Ten hearings are less credible than one seeing, and ten seeings are less credible than one touching, and ten touchings are still less credible than one testing.« (116).
7 In the paper, »In Defense of Communitarianism«, Warayuth Sriwarakuel (Thailand) deals with the issue of whether democracy should necessarily be based on liberalism. He examines the views of Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau to show their limitations. The author thinks that liberalism cannot make people to see the state or society as a living community. Keeping Charles Taylor in the background, Sriwarakuel argues that democracy should be based on communitarianism where there is a respect and care for the other. The author shows that the Habermasian understanding of ideal speech situation can serve as a guide for us in this instance.
European Standpoints
»There is an image for this in the Book of Isaiah. It is that of the many peoples, each proceeding along its own way marked out by its own culture, but all converging toward the Holy Mountain in which God will become All in all.«
George F. McLean 8 In »Universality and Culture«, Jean Ladrière (Belgium) discusses how there are two levels of truth – the partial and the authentic. The author explains the role of symbols in cultural life. He further says how the notion of historicity, which is the characteristic structure of the Dasein, is important. Though culture belongs to historicity, it finds its possibility through history. In philosophy, there is a universal space for different cultures. Ghislaine Florival (Belgium) presents a paper on Levinas, »Du sens de la mort: la vie«.
9 The paper »Be Popper to Information« examines three terms, ›knowledge‹, ›information‹ and ›information-based society‹. The author, Nicholas Lobkowicz (Germany), analyses the classical definition of knowledge and puts forth the question, »Which information may contribute to our knowledge?« The presupposition of a passage from information to knowledge is based on two facts: (a) we cannot achieve knowledge without being, at least in principle, willing to consider a piece of information that contradicts our assumptions, and (b) error is not shameful but a possible step towards truth (178).
10 Plamen Makariev (Bulgaria), in his paper »Cultural Rights and Deliberative Democracy«, suggests that the importance of cultural rights, which include ethics, religion, and democracy, is prominent in today's society. The concept of ›politics of recognition‹, coined by Charles Taylor, is even more relevant and useful. The author rightly says that minority rights could be justified by means of rational arguments within a public discussion between free and equal parties (185). Deliberative democracy harmonises differences by rational arguments. The author shows that Rawls in Political Liberalism explains how cultural rights can be justified by means of public deliberation.
11 Yuriy M. Pochta (Russia), in »Narrative Methodology and the Analysis of Islamic Society in the Philosophy of History« uses the post-modern methodology to understand Islamic society. He explains how postmodernism recognises differences. By rejecting the absolute truth, post-modernism accepts the local culture and tradition. Post-modernism helps overcome Eurocentrism in the study of Islam. The author explains the need for Western society to be retold the history of Islamic society through post-modernism, and examines the current challenge of Islam in Russian society.
12 The notion of cause in the backdrop of the thought of Aristotle, Kant and Russell is the main focus of Edward Alam (Lebanon) in »Philosophical and Scientific Challenges to the Traditional Concept of Causality«. He says that since the two World Wars, philosophy as well as science have dealt with what has gone wrong with advanced civilisation.
Some Perspectives from North America
13 In »The Lustrous Power of Beauty«, Kenneth J. Schmitz (Canada) examines the notion of beauty basically from the standpoint of Thomas Aquinas and Kant. He observes that clarity, harmony and integrity are the three features of beauty. He longs for human perfection and for being able to work towards a better developed human community.
14 William Sweet's (Canada) paper, »Contemporary Culture and Appeals to Human Rights«, argues in favour of the rights of man in respect of human dignity. He examines different theories of rights, starting from the mediaeval period to the present. The question »What are the challenges to the rights of man?« is the focus of the paper. It is interesting to note that according to Sweet, for a discourse on rights to be and remain viable, there must be a clear conception of the person – of the person's nature, dignity and autonomy, and of the person's moral and social responsibilities (264).
15 Robert P. Badillo (USA / India), in »McLean's Millennial Vision in the Light of Rielo's Genetic Metaphysics«, deals with genetic metaphysics propounded by Fernando Rielo, a contemporary metaphysician who believes that the genetic conception of the person can be shown by the sacredness of human life. He applies the Binity relation, i.e., two personal beings in a state of immanent intrinsic complementarity, to understand the Absolute Subject.
Africa and Latin America
Though the volume contains various subjects of philosophical interest, most of the papers focus on one important central theme, culture and its implicit value. 16 The African understanding of culture, religion and science is depicted by Kwame Gyekye (Ghana) in »Culture, Religion, and the Pursuit of Science: The African Experience«. He explains how culture is a social heritage and a learned behaviour. Culture, according to the author, is dynamic and not static and science operates in the cultural framework. A second perspective from Africa is presented by Sémou Pathé Guèye (Senegal) in his paper »La philosophie à l'épreuve de son monde«. Latin American voices are Juan Carlos Scannone (Argentina), with his paper »El lenguaje de la religión y sus variaciones según Paul Ricoeur«, and Enrique Dussel, with his reflections on »Deconstruccion del Concepto de ›Tolerancia‹ (de la Intolerancia a la Solidaridad)«.
17 The volume contains eighteen interesting articles, as well as a preface by William Sweet, and two approaches to the philosophy of George F. McLean by Hu Yeping (USA) and Yu Xuanmeng (China). It also contains a bibliography of McLean's work. This is undoubtedly a thought-provoking volume. Though it contains various subjects of philosophical interest, most of the papers focus on one important central theme, culture and its implicit value. Thus, the central focus lies in interpersonal understanding which is possible by intercultural understanding. This volume, produced on the occasion of McLean's 75th birthday, will be a useful reference point for those who are interested in philosophy, culture and values. The book is a definite contribution to human knowledge.

#3 Best Private High Schools in Illinois
Parent: Our family has two children in the Upper School at North Shore and we could not be happier. We have been particularly impressed with quality of instruction and the level of engagement our kids have with their teachers. The administration is committed to recruiting the highest level of instructors, who seem to truly care about each student. The school also emphasizes inclusion and encourages each child to pursue his or her interests, while stretching themselves to try new things. The size of the school allows students to pursue any interest, while feeling a part of a close-knit community. Students at North Shore achieve at the highest level academically, but a healthy balance of other activities are also a part of of the experience.

Senior: New Trier is among the highest performing high schools of the country, however that comes with its downsides. While the teachers and students are incredibly gifted and driven, there is absolutely a significant amount of stress that follows. The pressure at New Trier to succeed at the same level of one's classmates is ever present. Although there is danger in the comparison among students, the staff is wonderfully equipped to tend to each students individual needs. It also tends to be an inclusive environment for students of all abilities, which is unique for most high schools!

Senior: Glenbrook Evening High School is made for students who have a hard time focusing in class when surrounded by many students, or for students who prefer to have a smaller teacher to student ratio in order to have more one on one time with teachers. The teachers make time for each student as well as teach at a pace so that every student understands the lessons and no one is left behind. My experience at Glenbrook Evening has been memorable and has gone by so fast, because my counselor and teachers made school a good experience for all the students it went by faster than I ever thought it would. When I first started attending school here I never realized how much I'd miss it, but now that school is coming to an end it's hard to leave.
British International School of Chicago, Lincoln Park
Parent: Our son began at BISC LP when he was three years old. After seven years, he's graduating and will continue at the South Loop campus. Initially, we chose BISC LP because we appreciated the close proximity to our home in LP and the unique curriculum I like to call a "Renaissance program." We quickly realized the primary reason we stay is because of the genuine concern shown to our son by staff and teachers. He is not only miles beyond his peers from other schools in terms of reading, mathematics and science, but he is also socially intelligent and responsible as well -- and HAPPY.
Teachers take a subject and teach all aspects of it by way of measurement, observation, discussion, writing and presentation. Students are equipped with all necessary tools and learn at their own pace/in their own way so as to foster original ways of thinking.
I can't say enough positive things about BISC Lincoln Park and highly recommend it!

I've disassembled, lined, and reassembled the trunk, which was about as difficult as expected. It was about 4-5 hours of work all in all, no major unexpected problems, and I actually ended up doing significantly less work and using significantly less sound dampening material than I expected due to the car's fairly good built-in insulation.
It's not particularly difficult to remove the trunk liner, though it does require you to remove the rear seats completely. I would have done this anyway. What surprised me was how much insulation is already included on the trunk liner. The rear motor is directly below the front half of the trunk, and so all three parts of the trunk liner (floor, right wall, left wall) already have very large, thick pads of foam/vinyl insulation. The foam is anywhere from half an inch to two inches thick and the vinyl layer (or something similar to vinyl) is about 3/32". This might be standard in luxury vehicles, I honestly don't know.
When you drive the car with the trunk liner and especially the rear seats removed, it's obvious how much noise this material is already blocking. When I recently spent several hours riding in the back seat, I wouldn't have guessed there was a 250hp motor two feet away from me. With everything removed, it's pretty obvious. Since I already have perfectly form-fitting foam/vinyl insulation covering the louder half of the trunk, I'm not even going to bother adding in more.
You can see that the body panels are sporadically lined with butyl for vibration dampening, but it's a bit sparse so I am going to double or triple that coverage. I did an almost solid layer above the rear motor and over the wheel wells.
I'm planning on putting three small amps in the trunk well, and I haven't decided how I'm going to mount them just yet. They're class D so I don't expect significant heat generation, but I also don't want to put them on top of the regular liner, because that would provide significant thermal insulation. I might cut the bottom out of the liner inside the trunk well and mount them directly to the frame with adhesive, then either create a new liner above them or trim the liner around them. Either way, I want them to be fully covered, invisible when I'm done. That's about the only thing left to figure out in the trunk.
For anyone who needs them, here's an overview of the disassembled trunk.

Former UN head Boutros Boutros-Ghali dead
Cairo, Feb 16:
Former United Nations secretary general Boutros Boutros-Ghali died at a hospital here on Tuesday, officials said. He was 93. UN chief Ban Ki-moon hailed him as a "respected statesman" and a "memorable leader who rendered invaluable services to world peace and international order".
Boutros-Ghali was earlier admitted to the hospital with a broken pelvis, BBC reported citing Egypt's state news agency.
His death was confirmed by Rafael Dario Ramirez Carreno, the Venezuelan ambassador to the UN and current president of the UN Security Council.
A former Egyptian foreign minister, Boutros-Ghali was the first Arab to serve as UN chief.
He took office in 1992 at a time of increasing influence for the world body following its decisive role in the Gulf War, serving a five-year term.
"I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of my predecessor, Boutros Boutros-Ghali," Ban said in a statement.
Boutros-Ghali "was a respected statesman" and a "well-known scholar of international law and brought formidable experience and intellectual power to the task of piloting the United Nations through one of the most tumultuous and challenging periods in its history, and guiding the Organization of the Francophonie in subsequent years".
Ban said that as secretary-general, Boutros-Ghali "presided over a dramatic rise in UN peacekeeping", and when the world "increasingly turned to the UN for solutions to its problems, in the immediate aftermath of the cold war".
"His commitment to the UN — its mission and its staff — was unmistakable, and the mark he has left on the organisation is indelible," Ban said.
Boutros-Ghali led the UN during one of its most difficult times, with crises in Somalia, Rwanda, the Middle East and the former Yugoslavia.
Born on November 14, 1922 into a Coptic Christian family in Cairo, he was educated at Cairo University and in Paris.
He later studied international relations at Columbia University in New York and became Egypt's foreign minister in 1977 under then president Anwar al-Sadat.
After leaving the UN, Boutros-Ghali served from 1998 to 2002 as secretary general of La Francophonie, a grouping of French-speaking nations.
In 2004, he was named president of Egypt's human rights council, a body created by then Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. Ghali resigned in 2011, the year Mubarak was ousted by a popular uprising. (IANS)

Q: Different buttons in view to perform different operation in mvc I am facing some problem in MVC
Inside view I have 2 buttons, one is for final submit and the other is for adding dynamic content to the view. Again both are used to post the form. I wanted to know how these would be used in controller.
example
If I click final submit, it will redirect to some view or any other operation and also if I click add button in the same view I want to return to the same view.
note: I am using both buttons to post the same action.

A: <input type="submit" name="actionBtn" value="add value" />
<input type="submit" name="actionBtn" value="finalsubmit" />

in Action
public ActionResult YourPostAction(string actionBtn)
{
   if(actionBtn == "Add Value")
  {
  }
  else if(actionBtn == "finalSubmit")
  {
  }
}

Another way if you want ( You have to play with name but different way)
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    <input type="hidden" name="actionName" id="hdnAction" />
    <input type="submit" value="test" name="actionBtn" onclick="setThis('test')" />
    <input type="submit" value="test1" name="actionBtn" onclick="setThis('test1')"/>
}

<script language="javascript">
    function setThis(obj) {
        document.getElementById('hdnAction').value = obj;
    }
</script>

In controller action
 [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Index(string actionName)
        {
          ViewBag.Message = "Modify this template to jump-start your ASP.NET MVC application.";
          return View();
        }

When am I going to learn? Just because a cafe dresses itself up like a boutique espresso joint, doesn't meant that it is actually deserving of the title.
I wander into [name redacted] this morning. It is situated conveniently directly between my bus stop and my office.
The place is pleasantly decorated and the staff are well dressed and courteous. There is a throng of people ostensibly enjoying their respective coffees while reading the paper, magazines or texting on their new smart-whatchamacallits.
I reach the front of the contextually lengthy queue and step up to the (ordering) plate.
The young gentleman behind the counter looks at me as though I were speaking Italian.
Well, I guess I was speaking Italian.
There was a pause. I bored holes in him with my pretentious coffee snob gaze, perhaps attempting to telepathically provide him with the knowledge he was so obviously lacking.
He shook off his confusion and promptly stabbed at a single button on the register.
I hand over my hard-earned cash, secure in the knowledge that I will be handed a standard flat white any second now.
I stood there and watched as the gentlemen behind the dual-drip portafilter waste a perfectly good shot into his catch tray. I watched as the espresso shot changed from a lovely chocolatey colour, to a sickly off-white affair. I watched as he frothed the milk, lovingly cultivating huge bubbles which he would later hold back with a soup spoon while pouring the superheated remains into the cup. I watched the helpless little espresso shot writhing around as it drowned in a cascade of white-hot death.
I left with my cup of hot disappointment, casting furious looks around the room at the people happily drinking their coffees, their very presence seemingly designed to trap people in their venus flytrap-like maw.
Suffice it to say, if you want good coffee you would do well to remember to stick with trusted friends.

Investing in water and sanitation is no dirty business
22 July 2016 by Elizabeth Nicoletti | Leave a Comment
In an era of smart cities, 3D printing and artificial intelligence, The Economist awarded the "humble loo" the world's greatest innovation. Why? It has saved the lives of billions. The World Health Organization concluded that one dollar spent on sanitation generates a return of $5.50. In Latin America the return climbs over $7.00 – the second highest after East Asia. When people are healthier, productivity improves and attrition and absenteeism decline.
In Latin America, 36 million people are without drinking water. Investing in the sector is crucial given the effects brought on by climate change.
Water and sanitation goes beyond health. It affects education, gender equality, trade, economic growth, food security, energy and the environment. With climate change catalyzing more frequent and extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, rainfall and water flows are less predictable than ever. The ripple effects of water shortages in countries like Brazil raise electricity costs, commodity prices, and inflation while squashing investor confidence.
Despite Latin America and the Caribbean's economic growth over the last decades, water and sanitation numbers are still staggering and unevenly distributed. Access to improved sanitation still eludes 110 million people, and 36 million are without drinking water. In Bolivia, Brazil, Haiti, Nicaragua and Peru, less than half of the rural population has adequate sanitation. Global economic losses associated with these shortcomings are an estimated $260 billion per year, costing countries up to 7 percent of GDP.
One of the most important development challenges of the 21st century, universal and equitable access to water and sanitation is center stage as a UN Sustainable Development Goal for 2030. Achieving this goal would lead to a global increase of 3.2 billion productive days.
However, 77 percent of countries indicate that their water and sanitation financing is insufficient. While government has traditionally taken a lead to close the gap in infrastructure investment, the private sector is increasingly involved. A recent Financial Times article says the sector's attraction is two-fold. Investors recognize water scarcity and sustainability concerns as a business priority, plus they are drawn to the sector's promising financial returns.
Efficient water use and supply is key to mitigating the effects of climate change
In Brazil, for example, the government is collaborating with private firms to ensure services reach more people in areas where public water and sanitation utilities are overstretched. In 2016, the Inter-American Investment Corporation, acting on behalf of the Inter-American Development Bank Group, disbursed the first tranche of a loan for 320 million Brazilian reais (approximately $89 million) to Aegea Saneamento e Participações S.A.
Aegea, based in São Paulo, brings water and sanitation to over 2.2 million people in 44 cities across Brazil. The company now seeks to expand its network and improve operations through an 856 million reais investment project ($238 million). IIC's 12-year door-to-door loan in local currency is tailored to the reality of the sector and mitigates the company's exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. Project structures with longer tenors and in local denominations are especially attractive given the timelines of water and sanitation investments and the currency fluctuations found in countries such as Brazil.
The project aims to increase service coverage for Brazilians and fill the financing gap for industrial water treatment infrastructure. Current estimates suggest the industry is valued at $53 billion globally.
Additionally, the IIC coupled its loan with advisory services that included an assessment of Aegea's water-loss reduction program as well as analysis of its risk management for extreme events brought on by climate change.
While financing, particularly mobilizing funds from multilateral development banks and institutional investors, will continue to push the sector to universal access, climate-readiness will play a growing role in modernizing water and sanitation for the future. Ensuring all people in Latin America and the Caribbean have access to a loo is just the beginning.

In itself Reiki will not cure anything at all. What it does do is position the body in a relaxed state whereby it repairs itself. The therapy cleans away undesirable energy so that the body can cure by itself. Very little is known scientifically in regards to just how Reiki therapy works. The results, nevertheless, are incontrovertible. A wide range of health problems can be healed using Reiki treatments. The primary thing clients have to be conscious of is the need for relaxing and the considerable impact this has on the whole recovery process.
Some people might be astonished to discover that there is actually a flourishing Reiki market in London. You'll never have to go far to channel all of that excess life energy. It's usually advisable to call ahead and ensure that there is plenty of room available. You will be surprised to learn exactly how quickly this type of alternative treatment has gained in popularity. It seems as though nearly everyone around London these days has universal life energy which needs re-channeling.
A skilled Reiki practitioner can add or clear away energy wherever it is required. While this particular process is fairly involved, it is all achieved with the hands. A skilled Reiki practitioner knows where their hands should be put and for how long it is necessary. You will realize that what they are doing is doing the job by the sensation you have on the particular area of your body. You can really feel the flowing of the life energy as your Reiki practitioner works on any afflicted areas.
Reiki aims to transfer undesirable energy levels from the body. This transpires when a practitioner puts their healing hands on the client's body. The many benefits of Reiki will be sensed almost immediately. An individual may be suffering with a broad array of health conditions and from just one single treatment, receive some beneficial effects. That is the power of Reiki. It requires an experienced practitioner to be capable of removing the energy, and it's definitely not a process which can be achieved without the appropriate training.


Some seniors in the "Baby Boomer" generation are deciding to finally get their teeth fixed after decades of managing life with crooked or crowded teeth. At their stage of life, they can better afford to spend some money on themselves and achieve the comfort and appearance that they want to have.
As a teenager, Eddie Meisner was told that she would need braces. Her jaws were too small to hold all of her teeth, the dentist said. She would need to have two perfectly good teeth pulled out first, and then she would need to go through the process of having orthodontic braces.
Meisner was living with her parents in Fort Wayne, Indiana at the time. Her family was not wealthy, and she knew that going through with the braces would put her parents under greater financial stress. She also resented the idea of losing two of her teeth, for no other reason than lack of space.
After considering her options, Meisner decided to leave her teeth as they were. She lived with her teeth in crowded conditions for decades, until she was 66. Life took her to Bangor, Maine, where she visited a dentist who gave her an update on her teeth.
"This past spring, my dentist said that because of the crowding in my mouth, my teeth would keep chipping as I get older and recommended orthodontia," she said in an interview with the Bangor Daily News.
Since her teeth were more fragile because of age, the likelihood of chips occurring had increased. It was enough to finally push Meisner over the edge. She decided to have the dental work done.
In May of 2017, two of her teeth were extracted. In June, she began using Invisalign trays to straighten her teeth and relieve the crowding. The entire process will take about two years, since Meisner is in her sixties. She claims that she can already see and enjoy the difference in her appearance.
In addition to improving the look of her smile, the work on her teeth will keep them from chipping and cracking. Instead of being crowded together and squished against each other, her teeth will have a little space between them, enabling her to floss correctly and minimise any tooth decay.
Meisner's story is like a host of others in the United States, in Singapore, and in other prosperous countries. People in their fifties and sixties are finally taking the time to correct their teeth, investing in their oral health and in their appearance. Many of them have paid for their own children to have braces, and they say that now it's their turn. Some of the older adults who are having work done actually had braces as teenagers; but over the years, their teeth have moved out of position.
The replacement of traditional braces with Invisalign trays is very appealing to many of these Baby Boomers. They don't want brackets and wires, but they are okay with the nearly-invisible clear aligners.
Are you an older adult looking for an orthodontic solution? Come to Orchard Scotts Dental, one of the top dental clinics in Singapore. We'll give you an update on the situation with your teeth and show you all the options for achieving the smile you deserve.

The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Health and Social Services, Honourable Juliet Kavetuna launched the National Maternal and Child Health Vaccination week and further unveiled the new Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) to be introduced into the country's routine immunization programme at public health facilities.
The Maternal and Child Health Week will take place on 16 – 20 November 2015.
During this week the Ministry will vaccinate children under five (5) years for polio, to be administered through injection on the right thigh of a child. The children will also be given Vitamin A supplement to protect them against night blindness and to build their body's immunity against diseases. Children from 1-5 years will be given de-worming medicines while Women of Child Bearing Age 15-49 years will be screened for Tetanus Toxoid status and vaccinated accordingly.


"I heard King Ardrin was dead," Bard said.
He added, taking the reins of Bard's horse with his good arm, "But come away in, sir, Dom Rafael's going to be glad to hear you've come!" He shouted for a couple of grooms to come and unsaddle him, to carry his packs inside the Great Hall, and to bring lights and servants; in a little while, there were people running everywhere in the courtyard, dogs barking, noise and confusion.
Old Gwynn started back in dismay.
gifted. "And you know who I am, then?" How, he wondered, had Melisendra spoken of him?
"Yes, certainly." Bard smiled at the small, serious boy, and knelt beside him, drawing his sword from the sheath. Erlend laid a small, respectful hand on the hilt. Bard started to warn him not to touch the blade, then realized that the boy already knew better. He sheathed the blade and swung the boy to his shoulder.
at the near fireside, Dom Rafael di Asturien rose from his armchair as Bard came near with his son in his arms.
He was wearing a long indoor gown of woven dark-green wool with embroideries at neck and sleeves. The di Asturien men were blond, all of them, and Dom Rafael's hair was so light it was impossible to see whether it was graying, or not; but his beard was white. He looked very much as he had looked when Bard had last seen him, only thinner, his eyes somewhat sunken as if with worry.
He held out his arms, but Bard set Erlend down on his feet, and knelt to his father. He had never done this to any of the overlords he had served in his seven years of exile.
"I have come back, my father," he said, sensing somewhere in his mind the surprise of his son, that his father, the renowned warrior and the outlaw, should kneel to his grandfather just as the vassals did. He felt his father's hand touch his hair.
Why, he is already old. The giant of my youth is already an old man!
It troubled him, that he was taller than his father, and so much broader that he could have lifted him in his arms as he had done with Erlend!
So swiftly had the years passed, while he fought in strange wars in foreign lands!
, he thought, and sighed.
"I suppose she was thinking I was already in bed, for that is where she left me," Erlend said, "but I felt it most seemly to go and greet my father. Good night, Grandsire, good night, sir," he added, with his funny, precocious little bow, and Dom Rafael laughed as he went out of the hall.
as that red hair promised, she would never have fallen victim to that compulsion anyhow! He could not, for instance, have done it to Melora.
"Can you doubt that, Father?" Bard asked, but before he could speak further, a woman came from the woman's fire, slender, with graying hair, clad in a richly embroidered and braided robe.
, but in seven years he had learned not to say everything that came into his head.
"Seven years indeed have made small change in you, foster mother," he said, and her smile was sour.
"But your father is remiss in hospitality," Lady Jerana said. "He has offered you no refreshment. How came you to ride so late in such times?" she added when she had signaled to her servants to bring food and wine.

Q: Iframe is not displaying when copied on to new site I'm having trouble with a twitter iframe that isn't displaying, the code has been copied from another site where it is working in almost exactly the same markup.
I've checked in Litmus and the problem is there on all browsers.
The page I'm trying to make it work is here where the twitter feed should appear on the right of the login form.
The page which it's working from is here
For reference, the iframe is at line 244 of the page source.
#twitter {
    padding: 0px;
    width: 400px;
    height: 100%;
    float: right;
    margin: 25px;
    display: inline-block;

Some changes between the pages are that due to factors out of my control, everything is wrapped in a table. Which is the only difference between the structure of the pages that I can really think of, although I don't think that would affect an iframe.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Metal–support interactions in the form of iron–silicate were investigated by an inverse approach, that is, modification of nano-sized iron oxide with surface silicate groups. The presence of surface silicate groups in the calcined catalyst precursor was confirmed using diffuse reflectance infra-red Fourier transform analysis. The genesis of the various iron phases in the presence of surface silicate groups after H2-activation and the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis was followed. The surface silicate groups are preserved after a hydrogen treatment at 350 C for 16 h, and these surface ligands are associated with the residual iron oxide phase, wüstite. During the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, a-Fe is mostly converted into v-Fe5C2, whereas FeO is the main source for e-Fe2C. The activity per unit surface area of hexagonal carbide, eFe2C, is ca. 25% higher than that of v-Fe5C2. The presence of surface silicate ligands on e-Fe2C results in a further enhancement of the rate per unit surface area of e-Fe2C by a factor of ca. 3. This is being ascribed to the enhanced availability of hydrogen on the surface due to the presence of the surface silicate groups, which also results in an increase in the methane selectivity, a decrease in the olefin content and a decrease in formation of branched product compounds.

I read Prisha's story and was touched by the love and compassion she and the other women missionaries showed the people of Punya Basti. The village was ready for harvest but there were no labourers until God sent Prisha. She had heard about Punya Basti.
The residents lived in squalor, with no electricity, running water or toilets. Can you imagine living in such conditions? Although most of the villagers left for months at a time to find low-paying work and beg in other areas, they were still unable to feed their children three meals a day. They couldn't afford to sent them to school. Amidst the squalor, alcohol and drug abuse were major concerns. Fights frequently broke out. Animal carcasses and burning waste littered the place, creating a stench so horrific that made outsiders drive recklessly through the village just to get away from it. Outsiders looked down on the villagers because of their low caste and lack of hygiene and education.
The outsiders remind me of the scribes and Pharisees in Jesus' time. No doubt they would have avoided this village like it were a plague. They would never set foot in it. They would put as much distance between themselves and it and condemn the people instead of having compassion on them. What about us? We might feel sorry for the people but are we willing to do something to help to change their circumstances? If God were to call us to go to such a place and minister to the people and share the Gospel, would we be willing to go? Would we find excuses like Moses? Or would we run in the opposite direction like Jonah?
What would Jesus do? I think it's fair to say that He would go into that village and stay with the people. And I also think the apostle Paul would do the same. Sometimes God calls us out of our comfort zone and sends us to places we would never dream of going but there are people there who just need someone to show that they care.
Prisha was called to go to Punya Basti. She knew that no one else wanted to go. Even as she might have had misgivings about being able to stick it out, she agreed to go. Her leader suggested that she commute to the village from a safer nearby village where she would have more comfortable accommodations but Prisha refused. She wanted to live among the villagers.
I don't want to stay in a different place. I want to stay in the midst of them, in the village, so I can understand their feelings . . . and they can understand the love that we want to show them.
How many of us would have been tempted to stay in the safer village and be more comfortable? Prisha wanted to be able to relate to the people so living apart from them was out of the question. Jesus went to those who were downtrodden, outcast, rejected and lost. He was criticized for being with them.
No one said that it would be easy. Thing were pretty bad. The people rarely had baths or washed their clothes. Just last night my son asked me if he had to take a bath. If he had his way, he would skip bathing altogether.
Once Prisha's landlord offered her and her fellow Sister of Compassion a glass of water. Prisha was shocked when she looked at it. It smelled so bad that they couldn't drink from it. This was not surprising because Gospel for Asia Pastor Hoob Kumar who served the village, mentioned that the women cooked and ate food out of dirty vessels.
Realizing the magnitude of what lay in front of them, Prisha and her co-worker spent their first week in prayer and fasting. Then they found ways to help the villagers. They started by sweeping out the village's filthy drains. At times, Prisha was overwhelmed by the filthiness of Punya Basti but she and the seven Sisters of Compassion who joined her resolved to embrace the villagers and share in their lives. There are times when we feel overwhelmed and this is the time when the enemy will attack us but God gives us the strength to carry on. He who calls us will equip us and will be with us.
Slowly we understood that if we don't get to know them closely, we won't be able to have relationships with them – Prisha.
The Sisters of Compassion helped the local women with their chores, took care of their babies and ate the food offered to them. Can you imagine eating tortoise and mongoose? Most of us would refuse to eat that but Prisha and her fellow workers didn't. Eventually, they earned the people's trust. The villagers began to listen to and follow their advice. The drinking and fighting stopped. Women once barely clothed, embarrassing Prisha were now dressing modestly. They began to cook in healthier and cleaner ways. The children started going to school and the Sisters of Compassion taught them how to bathe, brush their teeth, comb their hair and dress neatly–things that we and out children do everyday. Great changes were happening in Punya Basti!
The Sisters were embraced by the villagers who began to see them as family because of the love these women had shown them. Others had scorned them but these Sisters had shown them that there is a God who loved them and wanted to transform their lives. It was not long before the people decided to follow the God who had sent the Sisters to them. The love of Jesus permeates the village that had once been steeped in squalor, violence and discord. They had received physical and spiritual cleansing. The once filthy ground was now fertile.
This story really inspired me. A village that seemed beyond hope and redemption was transformed by a young woman who obeyed God's call. Through her and her fellow Sisters of Compassion, God reached out to the villagers, showing them that there is a better way. She reflected God's love and they responded. I pray that when God calls us to serve Him in areas that others don't want to go to, we will be like Prisha and simply obey.
Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me" – Isaiah 6:8.

You know, it's all great for Diamond Rings and all, but man, is that record boring. Put the Silly Kissers on the cover of Exclaim already, please.
"It's got samples from A Guy Called Gerald, Talking Heads, a miami bass group called Rican Crew, and most of the beat is from "Beat Bop" by Rammellzee and K.Rob, "produced" by Jean-Michel Basqiuat."
Arbutus continues its long ascendancy to that great plane where crucial and relevant music is made with some more of their remixes. In this case, fellow Montreal-er and studio wizard (owner and producer at Digital Bird) Martin Horn, known to many as Cotton Mouth, takes a stab at Grimes' Devon and comes up with a beautiful Colin Newman-esque variation on an ethereal classic. 4AD or Mute should be on the phone in minutes.

Fire Breaks Out At Ultra Music Festival 2019!
Guess it's been a tricky time for music festival organizers across the globe these past few days! The reason we say that is because a fire broke out at the Ultra Music Festival 2019, happening in Miami.
Social media posts from attendees showed that the fire was considerably big and that it was close to the mainstage! The actual reason for the fire to break out is still unknown, but since it happened closer to the mainstage, we can speculate that it happened because of the fireworks in front of the main stage which is a common sight at any major festival.
Attendees also expressed disappointment about the shuttle service failing, as they had no shuttles to get back home!
There are no reports if the fire spread across the surroundings, and that's good news so far. Ultra Miami had just shifted from its original home in Bayfront Park to Virginia Key for this year's edition.
Hey Buddy!, I found this information for you: "Fire Breaks Out At Ultra Music Festival 2019!". Here is the website link: https://themusicessentials.com/news/fire-breaks-out-at-ultra-music-festival-2019/. Thank you.

Personal Injury Damages | What Kind of Damages Can I Seek?
Hi, my name is Lee Pearlman and I'm a partner and Tampa personal injury attorney at the law firm of Denmon Pearlman. In this video, I will be answering the question: what kind of personal injury damages can I seek in a personal injury case such as a car accident or slip and fall, things of that nature?
Now, generally, the first aspect of personal injury damages that we will always attempt to seek and recover for are out-of-pocket expenses such as medical expenses, lost wages, things of that nature. These are things that are very concrete, very easy to show that.
In other words, if you went to a chiropractor or an orthopedic surgeon or a general practitioner or emergency care clinic or anything of that nature, they will bill you.
As sure as the sun will rise in the east, they will bill you. And what matters in that circumstance is how much.
As you go along with treatment, obviously the bill will increase. That is the first known quantity that we will always be able to say okay, unquestionably these are the damages we're dealing with. That's something we will always attempt to recover.
With lost wages, the question we want to ask is how much work have you missed? What is your normal salary? Whereas your normal hourly wage, things of that nature, and how much have you lost as a result.
These are things that are relatively easy to quantify. So those types of things we will seek.
There's also something called pain and suffering.
Pain and suffering are harder to quantify. It generally must occur or accompany a permanent injury, such as a herniation, broken bones, torn rotator cuffs, things of that nature that will have the permanency to them.
Generally, an injury of that level must be sustained to be able to move into a pain and suffering claim.
Pain and suffering, again, is harder to quantify because we don't have a bill for it, right? It's the value of living with that pain for the rest of your life and what does that mean? There are ways that we try to assess these to determine personal injury damages.
There are also ways that we try to look at that type of claim and the ability to recover for it when we're actually moving forward with the case. And it's something that we will build into our overall demand from the at-fault party.
Whether it be an insurance company or a business or an individual who has assets that are able to be collected, these are things that we discuss with our clients to determine truly how much pain, how much suffering have they gone through as well.
So again, we have the quantifiables to determine personal injury damages.
We have the things that we know such as the medical bills for treatment, the out-of-pocket expenses that you have to pay as well for medication, lost wages, things of that nature.
Then there's the non-quantifiable such as the pain and suffering. These are generally what is going to be used when we're trying to make a determination and recover whatever the value is from the party that caused the injuries.
So essentially that is, the overview that we want to look at when determining personal injury damages.
What is the toll that it's taken on your life? And what is the value of that?
So that I hope answered the question at least somewhat. Again, everyone's case is unique and different and something that has to be evaluated individually.
Please don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube podcasts so that you can see the newest and most up-to-date information on the law that the law firm Denmon Pearlman releases.


So, what does that have to do with my roof?
Let's start with some basics. The ground does radiate some heat, even in winter. Even when the outside air temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, mother earth continues to radiate its heat to the earth's surface and does battle to delaying ground frost. Eventually, the air temperature continues to drop until frost occurs. Now let?s cross that bridge. The air surrounding the bridge, including under it, is far from mother earth?s heating influence. So, the cold air is going to do its job. Any water or moisture can now freeze that is on the bridge surface. Keep this thought while we go to your winter climate home.
It's two o'clock in the afternoon and look at all that beautiful snow on your roof. As you enjoy the warmth inside your home, the heated air rises against the ceiling and actually raises the air temperature of your attic. Together, the warming attic and the sunshine beading down on your roof (about 38-40 degrees Fahrenheit) will start to melt the snow.
Now, your roof eaves tell you the snow is melting by the constant dripping. Then, the sun goes down and so does the air temperature. The constant dripping at the eaves of your roof slows down and starts to freeze. Remember why the ice on the bridge formed? The same applies here, your eaves are just like the bridge. There is freezing air just waiting for that next drip. Actually, this is the beginning of icicles, destructive, roof damaging icicles. As the icicles get longer and longer, they also get wider. To make matters worse, the warm home continues to melt the snow on top of the roof. The melting snow rolls down to the eaves and collects against the eave gathering ice. This is known as ice damming.
The destructive ice starts to work its way back up the roof and under the shingles. Your roof protection has been compromised. It's just a matter of time before this repeated scenario makes its way, as a ceiling stain. So, what can be done to reduce destructive ice damming? Insufficient attic ventilation and inadequate attic ceiling insulation are the first things to look for. The proper amount of ceiling insulation will minimize the upward heat loss from the living area, which will then allow the attic ventilation to do its job.
As far as knowing if there is sufficient ventilation in the attic, you can simply record the outside air temperature and then the attic temperature. Ideally, your attic space should be within 15 degrees Fahrenheit of the outside air temperature. The overall goal is to influence the accumulated snow on your roof via effective ceiling insulation and ample attic ventilation, so the snow collectively and uniformly melts off. Depending on your attic configuration, there is a formula to figure it out. However, it's then time to call a qualified licensed general contractor.

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Seattle has endured sewage problems since the 19th century, when waste from flush toilets washed back to the city at high tide. Today, it is public potties that have officials of the West Coast city on the edge of their seats.
Seattle wants to replace five self-cleaning toilets that were installed a decade ago for more than $5 million but ended up auctioned on eBay for less than $13,000 because they were often used for drugs and prostitution.
In its search for the perfect prefabricated public toilet, the city is looking no farther than Portland, Oregon, its trendy neighbor, and the Portland Loo.
Patented by Portland in 2010, the toilet reflects the attitude of a number of North American municipalities that simple sidewalk toilets that meet a basic public need while discouraging other uses are the way to go.
"It's designed to be not convenient to go into and do something illicit or something you shouldn't be doing," said Linc Mann, spokesman for Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services, which oversees toilet maintenance in the city and helps cover its costs by selling the Portland Loo to other cities. The starting price: $90,000.
Although big enough to accommodate a bicycle or a stroller, the Portland Loo is much smaller than Seattle's previous large stainless steel toilets. It is also less private, with metal slats along the top and bottom that allow a view if police suspect illegal activity inside.
To cut the time people spend in the toilet and to discourage clothes washing, the sink is on the outside of the Portland Loo. And, unlike the toilets Seattle sold that had a three-minute self-cleaning cycle between each use, the Portland Loo is cleaned the old-fashioned way, twice a day.
Cities like Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles have toilets similar to Seattle's castaways, with installation and maintenance costs typically paid by vendors in exchange for advertising in the toilets and at bus shelters.
Each week, Portland fields a handful of calls about its public toilet, Mann said. The Canadian cities of Victoria and Nanaimo have each purchased a Portland Loo, as has Ketchikan, Alaska. San Diego, Cincinnati, Houston and other cities have expressed interest.
Romtec, Inc, based in Oregon, recently began marketing its own version of the Portland Loo, called a Sidewalk Restroom, for less than half the price.
Seattle is expected to decide at a City Council meeting within the next few weeks whether to buy one Portland Loo. A proposal before the council calls for a private developer to foot the bill for purchase and installation.
According to the most recent U.S. census figure, 608,660 people live in Seattle.
Brubaker said that in addition to toilets, cities are well-served by signs directing people to such facilities and paying businesses that open restrooms to the public.
He said many states have enacted plumbing codes requiring businesses to open their restrooms to customers and "visitors," but increased security has made it harder to gain access to restrooms in public or semi-public buildings.
A 2008 city report found that in downtown Seattle, where most restaurant toilets were reserved for customers, alleyways had become an option.
Gary Johnson, Seattle's city center coordinator, said he does not think the problem has gotten any better since that report. "Just because access to toilets has gone away, the need for them certainly hasn't," Johnson said.
