Blitz is an independent, not-for-profit, project space which supports experimental and radical arts practice in all its forms. Blitz is a space to develop ideas, build relationships and nurture creative talent.
Blitz operates within a four-level, 400-year-old Valletta townhouse, which has been repurposed into a site for residencies, exhibitions and education, and a social space for the creative and the curious.
Blitz is a curated space with a focus on contemporary existence, its constant state of flux, and the ubiquitous presence of digital culture. Our mission is to work closely with artists, curators, writers and researchers who are articulating these trends through cross-media and trans-disciplinary practice.
In developing a sustainable independent art space, Blitz programmes seek to engage new audiences in contemporary arts; investigate how access to high-quality exhibitions can be improved; and serve as the impetus to expand the local contemporary cultural infrastructure. Blitz aims to break down all barriers to the the enjoyment of contemporary art, engendering a culture which recognises the the positive effects of being culturally active for individuals, communities, and society at large.
The Blitz Residency Programme is a core strand of its artistic and public programme, created to facilitate a long-term, international artistic cultural exchange, while fortifying our role as cultural incubator and advocate organisation for contemporary art practice in Malta. Invited residents are given a dedicated live / work space within the Blitz building. Our objective is to invite artists working across creative fields in a range of media, including (but not limited to) film, photography, performance, sound, immersive installation and digital platforms. Invited residents are encouraged to experiment and research their project, culminating in a final production for presentation to the public, which can take the form of an exhibition, performance, publication, screening, series of talks or workshops etc, depending on the nature of the resident's work. Local engagement is crucial to the programme, taking the form of open studio days, workshops and talks for a local community of artists, researchers, educators, professionals and students.
The Blitz residency is located in a 400-year-old Valletta townhouse, lovingly restored to its former glory. Since 2013 the building has been repurposed as a space for exhibitions and events, an in-house residency programme, as well as a social space for the creative and the curious. Large blank walls and beautiful pattern-tiled floors can be found in every room on each of its three floors. The space is versatile as it is beautiful and rich with history. It is a unique space in the heart of the city that will be European Capital of Culture in 2018.
Blitz is supported by Arts Council Malta through a Cultural Partnership Agreement. The Blitz Residency Programme is supported by the Valletta 2018 Foundation.


If you're dreaming of a neutral wedding color palette for your big day, look no further than these modern decor and style ideas.
Valerie and Nicole were married in a deeply sentimental Palm Springs wedding that celebrated both their American and Chinese traditions.
Yep, we're doing it. We're using the cutest pup ever to make it impossible for you to look away from this bohemian Palm Springs wedding you'll totally fall for.
There's no denying that dogs at weddings are just too cute. Bringing your pup to your wedding day? Here's a few things to keep in mind.


Currently I'm reading Austin Kleon's Book "Show Your Work!"
A very simple, easy read and based on the format and layout of the book, I'm confident when I say that it's outstanding.
He builds on the discussion of his previous book, "Steal Like an Artist" about how creative types should embrace the idea of borrowing from others. Not actually stealing the art of other creatives, rather, stealing parts and pieces to make your own work complete.
However, in the book I'm reading, he talks about the nature of people being social and enjoying the outreach of creative types. Not the trope of an anguished, difficult, quiet recluse - of which there ARE some, I'm writing this at 11:46pm on a solitary Monday night - but that creatives should reach out to their audience however they may.
With that in mind, I'm making some sausage. I've purchased the meat, seasoned it and pulled the grinder from off the shelf it rests.
I'm about to make sausage. And share how I do it while I do try.
Below is a post I've been stuck writing for over a week.
After many different difficult starts and stops, writing words only to hit shift + A, then hitting delete, the screen grab above is what I'm working to finish by Friday March 4.
However, in the interim, I plan on releasing a number of posts. One per day actually.
Simply, it's a post stating that I plan 31 posts for 31 days. Part challenge, part reward for seeing that many posts in that many days.
I may batch write for days when the content doesn't seem to suit our needs. Or I may plan, only to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Either way, I'm flying blind on the type of things I'll write about.
I've spent a lot of time on content about productivity, time management and how to maximize output as a creative type - a writer - that is hopefully beneficial. So I'd think that those themes will continue.
Because right this minute, I'm announcing the publishing plan. Without having a plan. But that's why you get to see how the sausage is made.

About Kava Kava
Kava Kava News
Kava Kava (Piper methysticum) is a tall shrub that grows on the Pacific Islands and has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes. The kava plant's root contains chemicals that when processed are believed to produce a reaction in the brain and central nervous system.
Kava kava roots are ground to a pulp and added to water for use as a social and ceremonial drink. It's known to have effects similar to alcohol. The plant was dubbed "kava," by Captain James Cook.[5] It means, intoxicating pepper.
Kava is available as a dried extract, tablet, capsule, or liquid drops. You can make kava tea by steeping the plant's roots in boiling water.
It's difficult to determine a general recommended dosage for kava kava. For that reason, talk to your doctor about an amount that will be appropriate for you.[5]
Anxiety: 300mg daily. Look for a product that contains 70% kavalactones.
Insomnia: 210mg kavalactones an hour before bed.
Kava kava supplements should not be used on a daily basis for longer than two weeks.
Kavalactones
The effectiveness of kava when used for medicinal purposes is based on proven effectiveness, possible effectiveness, ineffectiveness, or if there is insufficient evidence to determine its effectiveness. This rating system was established by the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database.[4]
Headaches, including migraines
Treating nervous disorders
Venereal disease
Kava kava is possibly effective for:
Anxiety: Kava is known to reduce anxiety. For that reason, it has been compared to a low-dose benzodiazepine (also called benzos). It takes about eight weeks for the drug to take effect.
Easing benzodiazepine withdrawal: Benzos are prescribed to treat anxiety. Longterm use, however, can be addictive and rapid withdrawal from the drug can cause seizures and other unpleasant symptoms. Implementing kava with a benzo withdrawal regimen -- slowly reducing benzo intake while simultaneously increasing kava intake -- has been known to reduce withdraw symptoms.
There's insufficient evidence to state that kava is effective for:
Chronic bladder infections
Kava extract
In recent years, there have been about three dozen reports of liver damage in people who use kava supplements. Injuries include hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver failure, and death.[1] One patient required a liver transplant. He was taking three to four kava extracts per day for two months. Kava kava, like other herbs, are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Therefore, experts do not know if kava causes liver injuries or whether certain batches were contaminated.
Talk to your doctor
You should never start a new herb or supplement without first consulting your healthcare professional, especially if you're diagnosed with a disease or take prescription or over-the-counter medications. If you've been using kava in any form and have one or more of the following symptoms, see your doctor:
Jaundice (yellow skin): This is a sign of liver failure
Nausea and/or vomiting coupled with joint pain
Do not take kava
Kava is not right for everyone. If you have been diagnosed with depression, Parkinson's disease, or liver disease, you should not use this supplement in any form. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also steer clear.
Medication interactions
The following medications and substances may produce a negative interaction when combined with kava:
Alprazolam (and other anti-anxiety agents): Xanax is an example of an anti-anxiety medication that could react adversely when taken with kava. Both substances are known to cause drowsiness.
Medications moved by pumps in cells: Kava may increase the absorption of these drugs, which means the body is getting more than it should.
Levodopa (also known as L-dopa): These medications increase dopamine levels in the brain while kava decreases levels.
Liver-metabolized medications: Kava may increase side effects of these drugs.
Medications and herbs that could cause liver damage
Phenothiazine medications (tranquilizers)
Side effects of kava kava use include allergic reaction on the skin, drowsiness, dizziness, stomach upset, tremors, and restlessness.
Taking high doses for extended periods of time may cause hair loss, hearing loss, loss of appetite, and dry, yellowed skin.
Do not take kava kava if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.[1]
Do not take kava kava prior to surgery. Tell your doctor if you have been taking it.
Some countries, including Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and France have banned the sale of kava kava, but it is still available in the U.S.[6]
Researchers are not certain if kava kava is what damages the liver, or if taking it along with other medications and herbs is the cause.[1]
Unsafe kava kava dosage has not been determined.
"Natural" doesn't always mean safe. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for more information before using natural products, including kava.

Uterine Fibroids. More than half of all women have fibroids. They are a common, benign, uterine growth.
Download "Uterine Fibroids. More than half of all women have fibroids. They are a common, benign, uterine growth."
Paula Freeman
1 Uterine Fibroids More than half of all women have fibroids. They are a common, benign, uterine growth. Fibroids are not a disease. Much like the genetic blueprint that determines the color of your eyes and hair, if fibroids are common in your family, you are more likely to develop them. Fibroids often do not cause symptoms. Most women are unaware that they have them until a doctor mentions it during a routine pelvic exam. Composed of smooth muscle cells and connective tissue, fibroids grow slowly until you reach menopause. They have two, predictable, rapid growth spurts that are natural and not a cause for concern. After menopause, fibroids shrink and become small and calcified. The first rapid growth spurt usually occurs in the late 30 s to early 40 s, followed by a few years of slower growth. The second (and last) rapid growth spurt occurs just before menopause when women experience the hormonal changes associated with the beginning of menopause. About a year after menopause, fibroids begin to slowly and gradually shrink to a negligible size. Some women have large fibroids, while others have smaller fibroids. But for women in their late 30 s to early 40 s who have fibroids, the size of the uterus including the fibroids is, on average, about the size of a week pregnancy about 13cm in the largest dimension. In the middle 40 s, the uterus including fibroids is, on average, about the size of a week pregnancy about 17cm in the largest dimension. And for women in their late 40 s to early 50 s, the uterus including fibroids is, on average, the size of an week pregnancy about 21cm in the largest dimension. By about age 40, women have all the fibroids they are ever going to have. Rarely will a new fibroid develop after about the age 40.
2 Both estrogen and progesterone stimulate fibroid growth. Some foods, such as eating large amounts of soy, can also stimulate excess estrogen production, which in turn makes fibroids grow. There is an abundance of advertising for vitamins and other products that promise to reduce the size of fibroids or eliminate them entirely, but many are ineffective, and others actually stimulate fibroid growth. For example, so-called "natural" progesterone yam creams are promoted as a way to shrink fibroids, but in fact they make them grow. If you have symptoms such as extremely heavy menstrual bleeding with large blood clots or pressure on the bladder causing urinary frequency, it may be more of a nuisance than a true health problem. If you can live with the symptoms, you will avoid needless intervention of any kind. If you have symptoms that you cannot live with there are conservative treatment options. The location of fibroids that cause heavy menstrual bleeding is submucosal. Submucosal fibroids are located in the inside layer of the uterus in the endometrium. Even tiny submucosal fibroids can cause extremely heavy menstruation with large blood clots. Submucosal fibroids that are 4cm or smaller may cause heavy bleeding and large blood clots. They can by shelled out in a procedure called a hysteroscopic resection of the fibroid, which should not be confused with a hysteroscopic resection of the endometrium. You can avoid having a doctor think you want a hysteroscopic resection of the endometrium, which would make the bleeding worse, by referring to the procedure as the hysteroscopic shelling out of a submucosal fibroid. Hysteroscopic resection is usually an outpatient surgery in which a long endoscope called a hysteroscope is inserted into the vagina, through the cervix, and into the uterus. A tool is attached to the scope, and the surgeon chips away at the fibroid until nothing remains but the shell. This may sound like a simple surgery, but shelling out the fibroid without perforating the uterus requires skill and experience. Submucosal fibroids that are larger than 4cm cannot be shelled out hysteroscopically, but they can be removed with a myomectomy. Myomectomy is a conservative surgery to remove fibroids that leaves
3 the uterus intact. Fibroids in other locations, such as intramural fibroids (in the middle wall of the uterus) and subserosal fibroids (in the outside wall of the uterus) and pedunculated fibroids (outside the uterus attached to a long stalk, which is the blood supply from the uterus to the fibroid) can also be removed with myomectomy. Fibroids of any size, number, or location can be removed by a skilled surgeon. If a doctor tells you that a myomectomy cannot be performed because of the size, number, or location of your fibroids, you need another doctor. It is unlikely that a doctor will tell you that a myomectomy could be performed by a more skilled surgeon. It is a major operation, but unlike hysterectomy, endometrial ablation, focused ultrasound, UAE (uterine fibroid embolization) and other destructive surgeries, myomectomy is a constructive surgery that preserves the uterus and its many lifelong functions. Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) is sometimes referred to as uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). It involves occluding (blocking) the blood flow in the uterine arteries. It is performed by an Interventional Radiologist who inserts an embolic material such as tiny plastic polyvinyl alcohol particles, microspheres, embospheres, gel foam, or metal coils into the femoral artery, and then into the uterine artery that supplies blood to the fibroid. UAE is considered successful if the fibroids shrink, even when there are serious complications. One of the serious complications from UAE is misembolization. Misembolization occurs when the embolic material travels to distant parts of the vascular system. The reason this happens is that the blood supply to the fibroids is shared with other organs such as the labia, vagina, clitoris, ovaries, bladder, and kidneys. In fact, the blood flowing through the uterine artery, where the embolic material is injected, is part of the same blood supply that provides blood flow to your legs and feet and back up through your vascular system to your heart and lungs. Adverse effects ranging from chronic pain and loss of ovarian function to a loss of sexual feeling have been reported as a result of misembolization, as well as several deaths.
4 The goal of UAE is to block the flow of blood. But when the blood supply to any part of your body is blocked, the tissue that depends on that blood supply may become necrotic it might die. Necrosis of tissue as a result of impaired blood flow is common and may be lifethreatening. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) maintains an Adverse Events database with hundreds of reported complications of UAE. Although it receives only a small percentage of the actual number of adverse events that occur (reporting is voluntary, and the only complication that must be reported is death), it is a significant number. The Adverse Events database can be accessed online by going to FDA Maude on the FDA website, clicking on Simple Search, and entering the search term uterine artery embolization. A second search entering the term uterine fibroid embolization will provide additional adverse event reports. The HERS Foundation has counseled many women with permanent, disabling problems from UAE. Some women experience necrosis of the uterus (leading to a hysterectomy that was not necessary before the UAE), as well as necrosis of the vagina, labia, buttocks, bladder, bowel, and kidney. And many women experience impairment, or even the total loss, of ovarian function. The medical term for the removal of ovaries is castration, and for the loss of ovarian function in intact ovaries, the term is de facto castration. Although UAE does sometimes diminish heavy bleeding and shrink fibroids, the relief may be temporary. Fibroids often begin to grow again a few months after embolization and cause a recurrence or worsening of previous symptoms. The embolic material remains in a woman s body the rest of her life, often causing future health problems. There is no remedy for these complications because the embolic material cannot be removed or flushed out of the vascular system once it is injected into it. We will not know just how dangerous UAE is until the effects of longterm exposure to radiation (from fluoroscopy, which allows the doctor to see inside the artery during the procedure) and the effects of
5 injecting plastic balls and metal coils into the human bloodstream plays itself out in the lives of millions of women. Another destructive alternative treatment for heavy bleeding from fibroids is called endometrial ablation. Endometrial ablation is a surgery where the endometrium, the inside, endometrial layer of the uterus, is burned by heat or freezing. Whatever method of ablation is used, the purpose is to permanently scar the inside of the uterus so that the endometrium (the layer of the uterus that sheds during menstruation) cannot build up. The hypothesis is that if the endometrium is prevented from proliferating (building-up), there will be nothing to shed as it naturally does during menstruation. Endometrial ablation is considered successful if menstrual bleeding stops. But the uterus continues to attempt to perform its natural functions as if it were not scarred. In preparation for menstruation, the natural engorgement of blood still occurs in the uterus and pelvis, but due to the scarring caused by ablation, there is no endometrial tissue to build up. With no endometrial lining to shed, there is no way for the blood to exit the uterus, so the uterus remains engorged with blood. This may initially only cause a feeling of fullness in the pelvis, but after a few months of the uterus being engorged with blood by a blockage of natural menstrual flow, many women experience constant, debilitating pelvic and vaginal pressure and pain. Other risks of heat and freezing ablation include thermal perforation of the uterus, bowel, or bladder and infection and hemorrhage. Additional risks of heat ablation are fluid overload and death. Intravenous fluid is given to replace the fluid lost during heat ablation. The amount of fluid must be closely monitored, and every woman is unique in terms of how much fluid her body will tolerate. The surgeon then applies heat or cryo (freezing) to the endometrium. This procedure causes an unknown quantity of the fluid to evaporate. Some of the fluid is absorbed into the woman s body, but the amount of evaporation and absorption cannot be measured precisely. It is far from an exact science. Women have experienced serious complications, even death, as a result of fluid overload in the heart and lungs.
6 Damage to the uterus as a result of endometrial ablation often leads to a hysterectomy that was not necessary before the ablation. Although the exact number is not known, it is important to note that the incidence of hysterectomy after undergoing endometrial ablation or uterine artery embolization to treat fibroids is probably significant, because these procedures themselves often do irreparable damage to the uterus, ovaries, external genitalia and other internal organs. If a doctor tells you that you need a hysterectomy for fibroids, you need a better doctor. You never need a hysterectomy for fibroids unless you have the wrong doctor. If you have symptoms that you feel you need to do something about, there are conservative treatment options. Hysterectomy, removal of the uterus, causes many well documented, permanent, irreversible, and life-altering problems.

My daughters look nothing alike and are obviously fraternal twins. I am frequently asked if we did IVF and I am never ashamed nor shy about admitting we did. However, the story usually stops there and I never tell them about their three embryonic brothers and sisters. The IVF process created five grade A embryos, Liv and Mia are just two of the five, three were frozen.
Rick and I were faced with the difficult decision to determine the fate of the remaining three. We knew we couldn't keep them frozen forever, we also knew we couldn't afford five children. The easiest solution would have been to destroy them, but that option didn't sit well with us. We couldn't imagine destroying them simply because our family was complete.
I went through four years of tears, medication, pain, and frustration to get these embryos to this point. I just knew there was another female out there that wanted them – a loving woman fighting for the opportunity to become a birth mother.
Last year we made the right decision for us. We gave all three embryos up for adoption to a couple in Kansas City who had been trying to get pregnant for 10 years. We realize it's not the right choice for everyone, but we knew we had to do what's best for them while they were in our care and if given the opportunity to speak, I bet they would have told us to give them a chance…somewhere, anywhere at life. I also couldn't help but look at Liv and Mia playing with their toys and think to myself, they could have easily been two of the remaining embryos and are only here by chance.

Even though his prior OUI was over 30 years previously, client was arrested and charged as a second offender. After refusing the breath test at the station house, the RMV suspended him for three full years. To challenge this, the fight must be started within fifteen calendar days. I walked him through the complex process of how to do this and ultimately a judge restored his license. This saved him three full years without any form of license whatever.
My 18 year old client was charged with possession of an open container of alcohol and pot on the passenger side of her car under her boyfriend's seat. I went sidebar with the Judge at arraignment and detailed her bad choice in boyfriends. The Judge agreed with me saying he'd recently sent her boyfriend to jail. He dismissed both criminal charges, saving her a 15 month license loss and a criminal record.
"Words cannot describe how much Joe Waldbaum helped us when we went through a difficult problem with a family member. He guided us through the complicated legal process and achieved the best results we could have hoped for. The judge even complimented Mr. Waldbaum on his preparation! We would highly recommend him to any family that finds themselves in this position. Thank you Joe."

Bisco Hatori, nascida em 30 de agosto de 1975, é uma mangaka japonesa.

Carreira

É a autora de Ouran High School Host Club. Estreou com Ishunkan no Romance (Um Instante de Romance), na revista LaLa DX, em 1999. Egoist Love é também uma de suas produções, que foi publicada em alguns volumes de Ouran High School Host Club, as histórias são independentes e por enquanto não somam um tankohon.

Bisco Hatori começou a chamar atenção com o mangá Milleniun snow ( que saiu na Hana To Yume em 2001. Este mangá conta com dois volumes até o momento e não está oficialmente encerrada, ela foi simplesmente interrompida para que Hatori se dedicasse integralmente a Ouran Host Club, série que mostrou seu trabalho para o mundo. O mangá de Ouran Host Club começou a ser publicado em 2003 na revista LaLa DX, a mesma que publicava Karekano. Ouran Host Club é uma comédia meio histérica e de lances muito rápidos.

A autora Bisco Hatori possui um traço inconfundivel e as suas histórias são recheadas de comédia e romance. Outra coisa que chama atenção é a auto representação da autora, fazendo uma espécie de personagem baixinho e maltrapilho, parecendo uma boneca de pano, e seus mangás contém sátiras de seus editores e de vários animes,games,otakus, de expressões japonesas.

Ela é fã de Slam Dunk (shonen) e Please Save My Earth (shoujo).

Dynamical obstructions to classification by (co)homology and other TSI-group invariants
Allison, Shaun and Panagiotopoulos, Aristotelis (2021) Dynamical obstructions to classification by (co)homology and other TSI-group invariants. Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 374 (12). pp. 8793-8811. ISSN 0002-9947. doi:10.1090/tran/8475. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20220309-966711000
In the spirit of Hjorth's turbulence theory, we introduce "unbalancedness": a new dynamical obstruction to classifying orbit equivalence relations by actions of Polish groups which admit a two-sided invariant metric (TSI). Since abelian groups are TSI, unbalancedness can be used for identifying which classification problems cannot be solved by classical homology and cohomology theories. In terms of applications, we show that Morita equivalence of continuous-trace C*-algebras, as well as isomorphism of Hermitian line bundles, are not classifiable by actions of TSI groups. In the process, we show that the Wreath product of any two non-compact subgroups of S_∞ admits an action whose orbit equivalence relation is generically ergodic against any action of a TSI group and we deduce that there is an orbit equivalence relation of a CLI group which is not classifiable by actions of TSI groups.

Packers Activated QB Jordan Love From COVID-19 List
The Green Bay Packers officially activated backup QB Jordan Love from the COVID-19 list on Wednesday, per Doug Kyed.
Love, 22, was a three-year starter at Utah State and earned All-Mountain West honors the past two seasons. The Packers traded up with the Dolphins to select him at No. 26 overall in the 20202 NFL draft.
Love is in the second year of his four-year, $12,383,451 rookie contract that includes a $6,566,146 signing bonus. The Packers will have a fifth-year option to pick up for the 2024 season.
In 2021, Love has played in four games for Green Bay, completing 58.5 percent of his passes for 258 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

Can the Spurs and Kawhi Leonard mend their relationship?
Both teams also believe a Leonard trade would likely clinch a commitment from LeBron James to join the Lakers as a free agent, per ESPN. James has until Friday at 11:59 ET to decline Dansby Swanson Youth Jersey his player option with the Cleveland Cavaliers to become an unrestricted free agent.
It had been reported by ESPN that the Lakers were feeling pressure to quickly land Leonard in an effort to lure James, who is reportedly hesitant to join the team without another star in place.
If they are able to trade for Leonard, that might involve trading away Deng's contract, and removing that salary cap hit from their books outright. That move would also open the door to sign two free http://www.footballofficialonlinestore.com/cincinnati-bengals agents to maximum deals in addition to Leonard. It could clear the way for the Lakers to add Leonard, LeBron James and Paul George for next season.
(This was Sunday, in the ACB final against Baskonia.) He's a huge offensive talent who can be plugged in right away play next to De'Aaron Fox, last year's first round pick, and give the Kings another ballhandler, either at the two or three depending on matchups. They want and need someone who can take some of that responsibility off of Fox, and who can run with and finish alongside him. You could take Bagley here and you hear that Vivek Ranadive is leaning in that direction. But, for me, Doncic makes more sense for the Kings. Will Doncic struggle on D? Yes. Are the Kings the '85 Bears? No. So don't worry about that now and take the offensive talent, which is ready to make the move across the pond. And, don't insult him. Cincinnati Bengals Jersey Write this on your IPad 1,000 times: he is not Darko. he is not Darko. he is not Darko.
