Elachista juliensis is a moth of the family Elachistidae that is found from Germany to Italy and from Switzerland to Slovakia and Hungary.

The larvae feed on Carex humilis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a narrow corridor following the midrib that ascends towards the leaf tip. It then turns and descends. Strips of uneaten parenchyma remain along the leaf margin. Most frass is deposited in the oldest part of the mine. Pupation takes place outside of the mine, mostly at the base of the mined leaf. They are wax-coloured. Larvae can be found from May to early June.

Q: OpenGL Alpha Stack I'm somewhat new to OpenGL. I've used it for extremely simple stuff like rendering Textures(2D) and basic MODELVIEW transformations, but now I want to modify the alpha values in fashion similar to the MODELVIEW stack.
I basically have a glTex class, which renders a texture at a certain point after applying certain transformations to it. (Translation, Rotation, Alpha.) Now, this works fine for simple things like simple-images, but if I want to draw something a little more complex say a simple grid. I would translate to the required position of the grid, and then subsequently draw every part of it. This works fine cause I usually call glPushMatrix() and glPopMatrix() before and after rendering a texture.
The problem arises when I want to control the alhpa of the grid. Suppose I want to render it at 0.50 alpha. I could go through each of it's components and change their alpha values, but then this means that if some parts of the grid are made of smaller parts, they would have to do the same or if the smaller parts them selves had alpha values I would have to calculate a brand new alpha, which turns into a really lengthy process.
Is there some way I could get an alpha stack like the MODELVIEW one ? Or is there any better way to go about it?
Example - Grid is rendered at 0.5 alpha. If it has a component which is normally rendered at 0.25 alpha, it will now be rendered at .125 alpha
Btw, I have the glBlendFunc set to GL _SRC _ALPHA and GL _ONE _MINUS _SRC _ALPHA.

A: There is no way to multiply some additional alpha into the current alpha like you can modify the transformation matrixes in OpenGL, as OpenGL has no "alpha" state. alpha values are passed alongside color information. So what you want to do is to write a small helper class that keeps track of your alpha states:
enter code here
#define ALPHA_STACK_SIZE 10

class CAlphaState {
private:
   float m_alphaStack [ALPHA_STACK_SIZE];
   int m_tos;
public:
   CAlphaState () : m_tos (-1) { }
   inline float Push (float alpha) {
      if (m_tos >= 0)
         alpha *= m_alphaStack [m_tos];
      if (m_tos < ALPHA_STACK_SIZE - 1) // TODO: Add dynamic stack size handling
         m_alphaStack [++m_tos] = alpha;
      return alpha;
      }
   inline void Pop (void) { if (m_tos >= 0) m_tos--; }
   inline void Get (void) { return (m_tos < 0) ? 1.0f : m_alphaStack [m_tos]; }
   inline void Set (float alpha) { glColor4f (1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, Push (alpha)); }
   };

The restriction of this class is that it always sets your draw color to white. You can add color book keeping to the class or use the Get function to set the color using the current alpha after pushing it.

A: Try glPushAttrib and glPopAttrib

Police: NY Man Tries to Avoid Drug Test By Calling in Bomb Threat to Court
A man who spent time in prison for dealing heroin wanted to avoid a drug test so bad he figured his own way out of it. And now it looks like his method of avoidance has landed him in even more trouble.
The incident actually happened June 5, but the case was just unsealed Monday, according to the NY Post. The complaint says that the man was due in Manhattan court in forty nine minutes to submit a urine test, but decided he'd call in a bomb threat instead.
The Post says he had been reporting for supervised release after serving a couple years behind bars for possession of heroin with intent to distribute. That particular day he just didn't feel like reporting to the the Patrick Moynihan building, and called in the bomb threat at around 2:40 p.m.
The court didn't budge though, and the would be bomber had to report anyway. A complaint says that the man failed the urinalysis. The Post says he was later arrested in August for the bomb threat, though didn't specify why it took two months to arrest him.

So I'm thinking of how to be able to find folders more quickly in my reference system. Most of the files come in from email, are written by others, and I may need to pull them together in a summary document to present up to decision makers. In this context, what does productivity look like to me: it means I can find a document quickly. If I evaluate how things are going with my nested folders based on project name and a couple sub-folders, its a very mixed bag.
I can find those files quickly to pull them out.
Once I pull any file out of any folder to the desktop or current working folder. I can have it automagically go back to where it should be filed.
This will be my current fiddly quest now that I have note-taking basically sorted out. I've made a bit of progress on both points just today.
I've been keeping track of how I've been finding and not finding files. Spotlight isn't really cutting it for a lot of cases. If I'm in a crunch, I usually go back to mail. Why? it is because I usually know who sent the file to me and about when they sent it. It turns out that often times, the contents of the file aren't enough for me to narrow the search down. Another problem I have is that I often have several versions of the documents in various stages of preparation (these are usually multiple drafts from multiple contributors) and outright duplicates in the system. This is a sub-problem that I'll be going after later.
So what was the breakthrough? It involves a mail rule to automatically save attachments to a folder with the name of who sent it to me and Hazel to auto spotlight comment tag the file. Hazel also moves it to my "inbox" folder for further processing. This type of approach has been done before (insert here some of the stuff I found) but not in ways that worked for me (they weren't simple enough for me). I'll have to extend the auto-tagging to my current nested folder structure and I should be there.
I'm going to have to clean up the script a bit and get some screen shots to illustrate it so that will be another post soon. In the meantime, I thought I would outline my current system in slightly more detail.
Now - these are currently active projects (think GTD projects here not my work project codenames).
Inbox - these are documents I have to figure out what to do with or need to get parsed into projects or filed.
Outbox - this is where stuff gets put to get filed or deleted. I have a large amount of Hazel rules mainly by subject title that move files to the right work based project folder in my last folder.
File Cabinet - Things get filed here by project with a couple of sub-folders.
I keep Now, Inbox, and Outbox synced to Box.net so that I have access to these files anywhere.

The intent of the Arkansas FOIA is to provide access to information in an open and public government, one of the hallmarks of a democratic society. On February 14, 1967, Arkansas adopted one of the strongest and most comprehensive Freedom of Information Acts in the nation. It gives our citizens an opportunity to look at a broad array of information at every level of government and to observe the actions of our government leaders. It also promotes and protects the right of individuals to attend the meetings of policy-making, tax supported bodies.
The FOIA is the people's law, and as the people's lawyer, I feel that it is vital for us to be as well informed about the workings of our government as we can be.

Colloidal Silver vs Ionic
Colloidal Silver - How Does It Work?
What is Ionic Silver? Silver 100 F.A.Qs – Detailed Answers
Silver 100 - Best Silver on the Market Silver 100 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Silver is one of the single most effective antiviral and bactericidal agents known!Specifically, silver ions complement the body's immune system by providing exceptional protection against pathogenic bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses.
What is Colloidal Silver?
Colloidal Silver is the result of an electromagnetic process that pulls submicroscopic particles of silver (in the micron range) from a larger piece of pure silver into water. These particles are held in suspension by the tiny electric charge on each atom. As minute particles, the silver can more easily penetrate and travel throughout the body.
The "total silver" content is divided into two forms of silver; ionic silver and silver particles (colloidal). (A colloid is a unit of measure with the particle size within a certain range.) Particles are clusters of silver atoms. The atoms in a silver particle remain held together by "van der Waals' force" of attraction that causes identical atoms to be attracted to each other. Silver particles do not contribute to the electrical conductivity of solutions that contain them.
Colloidal Silver works as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, fungi and viruses use for their metabolism. Because no known disease-causing organism can live in the presence of even minute traces of silver, Colloidal Silver is effective against more than 650 different disease-causing pathogens. Unlike with antibiotics, resistant strains have never been known to develop. (Antibiotics are only effective against about a dozen forms of bacteria and fungi, and never viruses!)
Colloidal silver is non-toxic, non-addictive and has no side effects. The body develops no tolerance and one cannot overdose. Colloidal Silver cannot cause harm to the liver, kidneys or any other organ in the body.
Silver is safe for pregnant and nursing women and even aids the developing fetus in growth and health as well as easing the mother's delivery and recovery. Water-soluble silver is the perfect natural alternative to synthetic antibiotics and is wonderful for both adults and children of all ages. Colloidal silver is odorless, tasteless, non-stinging, harmless to eyes, contains no free radicals, is harmless to human enzymes and has no reaction with other medications. It improves digestion, aids in the regeneration of damaged cells and tissues, helps prevent colds, flu and organism caused diseases. Normal use of colloidal silver does not harm the beneficial bacteria in our intestines. Therefore, it does not cause an upset stomach or yeast growth commonly seen with traditional pharmaceutical antibiotics.
Silver Used Throughout History
Silver has long had acclaim in wellness from those seeking to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The medicinal benefits of silver have been known for hundreds of years. Here are just a few well known samples...
The Greeks used silver vessels to keep water and other liquids fresh. The writings of Herodotus, the Greek philosopher and historian, date the use of silver to before the birth of Christ.
The Roman Empire stored wine in silver urns to prevent spoilage.
The use of silver is mentioned in ancient Egyptian writings.
In the Middle Ages, silverware protected the wealthy from the full brunt of the plague.
Before the advent of modern germicides and antibiotics, it was known that disease-causing pathogens could not survive in the presence of silver. Consequently, silver was used in dishware, drinking vessels and eating utensils.
In particular, the wealthy stored and ate their food from silver vessels to keep bacteria from growing.
The Chinese emperors and their courts ate with silver chopsticks.
The Druids have left evidence of their use of silver.
Settlers in the Australian outback suspend silverware in their water tanks to retard spoilage.
Pioneers trekking across the American West found that if they placed silver or copper coins in their casks of drinking water, it kept the water safe from bacteria, algae, etc.
All along the frontier, silver dollars were put in milk to keep it fresh. Some of us remember our grandparents doing the same.
Silver leaf was used to combat infection in wounds sustained by troops during World War I.
Prior to the introduction of antibiotics, Colloidal Silver was used widely in hospitals and has been known as a bactericide for at least 1200 years.
In the early 1800s, doctors used silver sutures in surgical wounds with very successful results.
For many years there was a law requiring hospitals to use a silver solution in the eyes of newborn babies to ensure they would not go blind should the mother have gonorrhea.
In Ayurvedic medicine, silver is used in small amounts as a tonic, elixir or rejuvenative agent for patients debilitated by age or disease.
According to medical journals from around the world, it disables the particular enzyme that all one-celled bacteria, fungi and viruses use for their oxygen metabolism. Colloidal Silver co-mingles with the blood and enters the cells to seek out and destroy harmful organisms. It suffocates them in six minutes or less after initial contact. This phenomenon was recently demonstrated in tests at UCLA Medical Lab. Trace amounts protect and strengthen the immune system. The pathogen suffocates and dies and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems.
Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics which destroy beneficial enzymes, colloidal silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact as they are radically different from the enzymes of primitive single-celled life. Since silver only kills anaerobic (non-oxygen breathing) bacteria, the friendly bacteria in the digestive tract are immune to it because they are aerobic (oxygen breathing). Colloidal silver is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles, plants and all multi-celled living matter.
How does colloidal silver work? (Further Insights)
Richard Davies and Samuel Etris of The Silver Institute, in a 1996 monograph entitled The Development and Functions of Silver in Water Purification and Disease Control, discuss three mechanisms of deactivation that silver utilizes to incapacitate disease causing organisms. They are Catalytic Oxidation, Reaction with Cell Membranes, and Binding with the DNA of disease organisms to prevent unwinding.
Catalytic Oxidation:
Silver, in its atomic state, has the capacity to absorb oxygen and act as a catalyst to bring about oxidation. Atomic (nascent) oxygen absorbed onto the surface of silver ions in solution will readily react with the sulfhydryl (-S-H) groups surrounding the surface of bacteria or viruses to remove the hydrogen atoms (as water), causing the sulfur atoms to form an R-S-S-R bond; blocking respiration and causing the bacteria to expire. Employing a simple catalytic reduction/oxidation reaction, colloidal silver will react with any negative charge presented by the organism's transport or membrane proteins and deactivate them.
Reaction with Bacterial Cell Membranes:
There is evidence that silver ions attach to membrane surface radicals of bacteria, impairing cell respiration and blocking its energy transfer system. One explanation is based on the nature of enzyme construction: Specific enzymes are required for a given biochemical activity to take place. Enzyme molecules usually require a specific metallic atom as part of the molecular matrix in order to function. A metal of higher valance can replace a metal of lower valance in the enzyme complex, preventing the enzyme from functioning normally. Silver, with a valance of plus 2, can replace many metals with a lower, or equal valance that exhibit weaker atomic bonding properties.
Binding with DNA:
Studies by C.L. Fox and S.M. Modak with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a tenacious bacteria that is difficult to treat, demonstrated that as much as 12% of silver is taken up by the organism's DNA. While it remains unclear exactly how the silver binds to the DNA without destroying the hydrogen bonds holding the lattice together, it nevertheless prevents the DNA from unwinding, an essential step for cellular replication to occur.
Because no known disease-causing organism can live in the presence of even minute traces of silver, Colloidal Silver is effective against more than 650 different disease-causing pathogens. Unlike with antibiotics, resistant strains have never been known to develop.
When Is It Used?
Here is a small sample of diseases against which Colloidal Silver has been used successfully:
acne, allergies, appendicitis, arthritis, blood parasites, bubonic plague, burns, cancer, candida, cholera, chronic fatigue, colds and flu, conjunctivitis, diabetes, gonorrhea, hay fever, herpes, leprosy, leukaemia, lupus, Lyme disease, malaria, meningitis, parasitic infections both viral and fungal, pneumonia, rheumatism, ringworm, scarlet fever, septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat, shingles, skin cancer, staph infections, strep infections, syphilis, toxemia, trenchfoot, all forms of viruses, warts and stomach ulcers.
What Doctor's Say About Silver
According to experts, no microorganism ever tested has been able to stay alive for more than six minutes when exposed directly to colloidal silver!
Dr. Harry Margraf, a biochemist and pioneering silver researcher who worked with the late Carl Moyer, M.D., chairman of Washington University's Department of Surgery in the 1970s: "Silver is the best all-around germ fighter we have."
Science Digest cites colloidal silver as "...a wonder of modern medicine," and further states "Antibiotics kill perhaps a half dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is non-toxic. Colloidal silver, used as an anti-microbial agent, will not create super bugs as antibiotics do."
Alfred Searle, founder of the giant Searle Pharmaceuticals (now Monsanto) stated, "Applying colloidal silver to human subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishingly successful results. For internal administration ... it has the advantage being rapidly fatal to pathogens without toxic action on its host. It is quite stable." Further information indicates that Colloidal Silver does not cause harmful interactions with other medications or topical treatments.
In laboratory tests with colloidal silver, bacteria, viruses, and fungal organisms are killed within minutes of contact. Larry C. Ford, M.D. of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UCLA School of Medicine, Centre For The Health Sciences reported in November 1, 1988, " I tested them (the silver solutions) using standard anti-microbial tests for disinfectants. The silver solutions were anti-bacterial for concentrations of 105 organisms per ml of Streptococcus Pyogenes, Staphylococcus Aureus, Neisseria Gonorrhea, Gardnerella Vaginalis, Salmonella Typhi and other enteric pathogens, and fungicidal for Candida Albicans, Candida Globata and M. Furfur."
Dr. Robert O. Becker, MD, noted biomedical researcher from Syracuse University, and author of The Body Electric and Cross Currents, recognized a correlation between low silver levels and sickness. He said silver deficiency is responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system. "What we have done is rediscover the fact that silver killed bacteria, which had been known for centuries." In the process of his work, Dr. Becker discovered that he had wiped out types of bacteria across the board, even those that were resistant to antibiotics." Regarding the innate ability of metallic silver to control infection, Dr. Becker said: "all of the organisms that we tested were sensitive to the electrically generated silver ion, including some that were resistant to all known antibiotics." On the safety of silver, he said, "in no case were any undesirable side effects of the silver treatment apparent."
Dr. Bart Flick of Argentum Medical LLC, another early pioneer in silver medical research, invented FDA approved Silverlon wound contact dressing. "The antimicrobial activity of silver rests upon the interaction of silver with the bacteria's cellular membrane. This interaction can occur through the presence of a silver ion in solution or the release of silver in an ionic moiety directly from the surface of metallic silver when a bacterial cell membrane comes in direct contact with the metallic surface."
Dr. Henry Crooks, author of Use of Colloids in Health Disease, found that silver in the colloidal state is highly germicidal, quite harmless to humans and absolutely non-toxic. From his bacteriological experiments with silver he concluded, "I know of no microbe that is not killed in laboratory experiments in six minutes."
Dr. Bjorn Nordenstrom, of the Larolinska Institute, Sweden, has successfully used silver as a component in his cancer treatments for many years.
Dr. Leonard Keene Hirschberg, A. M., M. D. (John Hopkins) states, "Speaking generally, the colloidal metals are especially remarkable for their beneficial action in infective states."
Dr. Richard L. Davies, executive director of the Silver Institute, which monitors silver technology in 37 countries, reports: "In four years we've described 87 important new medical uses for silver. We're just beginning to see to what extent silver can relieve suffering."
Peter Lindemann reports in his 1997 article, Colloidal Silver, A Closer Look, that a study conducted in part by the Institute of Microbiology in Rome, Italy and published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology (Dec. 1992), stated that "Pure electro-colloidal silver out- performed silver nitrate, silver chloride, and silver sulfadiazine as a broad spectrum germicide. For all classes of bacteria, fungus, and mold samples tested, pure electro-colloidal silver worked better, and at much lower concentrations. They concluded that any additives reduced the effectiveness of the pure silver ion."
According to Dr. Evan of Illinois, Kansas "We have had instant success with Colloidal Silver and immune compromised patients. A few examples are: Pink eye (topical) totally resolved in less than six hours; recurrent sinus infections (oral ingestion) resolved in eight days; acute cuticle infections resolved twenty four hours. Another major area in which we have improved our clinical results is in the area of bowel detoxification and dysbiosis. The colloidal silver has provided excellent removal of abnormal intestinal bacteria also it has proved to be a great adjunct to our Candida albicans, Epstein Barr Virus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome protocols.
What is Ionic Silver?
It has repeatedly been argued (and we agree) that the benefits of colloidal silver depend on a small particle size of the silver source.
Ionic Silver is another step forward from Colloidal Silver.
The particle size is so small that nothing can be observed under an electron microscope! Ionic silver is a solution consisting of water and single atom silver ions (dissolved silver) and contains no silver particles. Ionic silver is conductive and the electrical conductivity is directly related to the ionic concentration. The ions in solution remain dispersed due to mutual repulsion created by the ionic charge.
When colloidal silver is stored over a period of time, the particles tend to agglomerate (clog) and build even larger clusters... which then reduces the amount amount of useful silver ions, thereby reducing the silver's effectiveness. (This problem with colloidal silver is illustrated here.)
Look at the pictures of Colloidal Silver on an electron microscope here.
Often, when Colloidal Silver is stored over a period of time, the particles agglomerate (chunk together) and build even larger clusters here, an electron microscope picture from a standard commercial Colloidal Silver off the shelf.
This does not occur with Silver 100 Ionic Silver, a truly remarkable ionic silver product that overcomes all limitations of regular colloidal silver products.
For a better understanding of the differences between colloidal silver and ionic silver, it would best to visit our Silver 100™ page.
Silver100's Opti-Silver™ technology is a HUGE LEAP forward within the field of colloidal/ionic silver products!

What Does the FDA Say? According to the United States Government Food and Drug Administration Colloidal Silver may continue to be marketed and used as it was originally intended. Colloidal Silver exceeds FDA recognized standards for safety. In a September 13, 1991 letter written by Harold Davies, U.S. Food and Drug Administration Consumer Safety Officer stated that FDA has no jurisdiction regarding a pure, mineral element.
What About Pets? Colloidal Silver has many veterinary uses, such as healing burns and infections, and is also an effective treatment against the dreaded canine parvo virus.
In The Garden? You'll also find Colloidal Silver very handy in the garden, against bacterial, fungal, and viral attacks on plants. Simply spray diluted Colloidal Silver on the leaves, and add to soil.

Whether your customers are external companies or internal (other employees), every department in Meatco has to make an effort to improve their level of service.
The quest for service excellence prompted Meatco's IT department, under the management of Louis Becker, to seek out training intervention. The entire department of 19 employees, including management, spent a day to assess and standardise their level of service.
We are all aware that Meatco leans heavily on our various information technology platforms, whether in Production, QA, Engineering, Finance or Administration. It is Meatco's dependency on these systems and infrastructure that exposes IT employees to highly stressful situations on a daily basis.
There is a tendency to depersonalise problems related to IT, but the reality is that human beings (other employees) are affected if there are IT complications. Therefore the IT department endeavours to take a more personal approach to problem solving.
Rather under-promise and over-deliver on solutions, instead of the other way around.
Meatco's Human Resource department organised the training interventions that were facilitated by Ms Renschie Grobler, an Organisational Development and Training Practitioner. She has extensive background in soft skills facilitation and joined Meatco in 2012.

a777pilot you have fallen into a liberal trap yet again. There is nothing of substance to attack the news story on so the left must resort to the age old lib tactic of attacking the messenger. First, Fox News, and now you. You should have seen this coming.
I haven't even read the linked story yet, nor was I attacking anything until flyboy made such an absurd statement. Sure, some media sources that aren't Fox show some bias. MSNBC is probably the worst of the non-Fox news sources. But even MSNBC is only like 1/50th as biased as Fox News. When The Daily Show, a fake news show with a 30 minute broadcast time and takes regular weeks off reports more true news per year than Fox News, you should realize there's a problem

Because as biased as FOX is, it is markedly less biased than CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, or NPR. That's why.
Don't be stupid. Even Fox News doesn't know what a tremendous threat Q is. Your faith is dangerously misplaced.

You just tried to defend MSNBC by comparing them to Fox News. You really want to be taken seriously? Daily Show, true news? Now I know you are being silly.
No, just accurate. Fox News is the most biased and bullshit filled news source in the history of America. No one who enjoys accuracy in their news should ever defend Fox. I didn't defend MSNBC at all, I was just saying that their bias is a fraction of that of Fox. I'm a liberal, we like truth not bias in our news. There's a reason that MSNBC doesn't get the ratings Fox does, liberals don't let that inaccurate bias shit fly. Conservatives obviously want biased and inaccurate news because accurate news, like reality, has a well established liberal bias.

It's called brainwashing. Have to feel sorry for them but now is the time to make things so uncomfortable for these people that they leave the U.S. and that is finally starting to happen.

Standard Fox distortion, with more of the same on Fox & Friends.
But even after the creation of the OFR, Congress will be "the only authority that can tax people in America." The legislation creating the agency makes it clear that it will generate operational revenue not through taxation, but through assessments on large financial institutions, a funding method the Treasury Department has been using for years. Through powers legislated by Congress, the Federal Reserve (Fed), Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Farm Credit Administration (FCA), Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) all use forms of assessments for funding.

Outrage not found, other than among the weak minded & gullible.
I do enjoy the revisionist history from Posey in the OP's linked piece. If they "knew" that there was a big problem in subprime lending, the usual mouthpieces of the Right weren't telling anybody about it, for sure, but were touting the ownership society& innovative financial products right up to the crash. The people who saw it coming were either heavily invested in Magnetar or were roundly denounced by the Right, people like Krugman...

Wow. That might be the single most incorrect thing ever said in P&N. I'm impressed. That's like on the level of saying "the Earth is flat!", everyone knows it's false and it's just funny to hear someone say it.
Except he's right. You see, the mainstream media is incredibly biased towards the truth, while Fox News is openminded enough to reach the perspective most skewed against Democrats. It's really amazing how flexible Fox News is in that regard.

Opening: Guiseppe Modica - Atelier of Light and Memory
Giuseppe Modica was born in Mazara del Vallo in 1953. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, and now lives in Rome, where he is full professor of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts. A "solo traveler" who does not easily assimilate with other group tendencies, he is a "metaphysically new" originator who combines tradition with innovation. Modica has been appreciated by art historians and critics such as M. Fagiolo, V. Sgarbi, G. Giuf-
frè, and C. Strinati, and by great writers like L. Sciascia and A. Tabucchi. Modica has exhibited his works at prestigious solo exhibitions in Milan, Rome, Paris, Cologne, Bologna, Florence and Palermo, as well as at organisations, institutions and museums: Aosta, Tour Fromage; Ferrara, Palazzo dei Diamanti; Treviso, Casa dei Carraresi; Roma, Complesso del Vittoriano; Arezzo, Galleria Civica; Palermo, Loggiato di San Bartolomeo; Marsala, Galleria Civica; Roma, Palazzo Venezia. His works have also been on show at international art festivals such as: VIII International Cairo Biennale; XIII Rome Quadriennale; VI Biennial of Engraving, Milan; Novecento Siciliano, Minsk, Moscow, Barcellona and Palermo; Milano Arte Italiana 1968-2007, Palazzo Reale; 54th Venice Biennale, Arsenal, Italian

Individual design, innovation and quality – as one of the leading aluminium system specialists, this is what heroal has stood for over 140 years. By offering a multitude of possibilities, heroal offers its customers the door of tomorrow today! redPlant was commissioned with the implementation of a configurator for heroal entrance doors, so that the customer may begin assembling their own entrance door right away.
Different designs, door hinges, or handle strips - heroal offers its customers functional versatility with plenty of options for configuring their own heroal D 72 front door. Thanks to the configurator's responsive design, the custom door can be planned using the customer's smartphone as well as the office computer. The configurator adapts to different screen sizes.
Roller or top hinges in many different colours.
A total of three ergonomic door handles for the inside of the door.
Enter the house by fingerprint - without a key!
Individual design of the handle strip regarding colour, length and LED lighting.
The unique colour concept for the interior and exterior presentation of the door was created through an exclusive partnership between heroal and Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier. Using the colour spectrum of Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier, the high-quality materials can be reproduced virtually in the configurator.
Inside or outside? Plain and simple or set in scene? The configurator will display the heroal D 72 front door as you wish. Different scenes, even adapted to the customer's on-site conditions, will give you an impression of how the entrance area will look like.
Every heroal D 72 front door creation is unique! Clear IDs in the configurator allow storage via e-mail and later retrieval of the individual front door configuration.
The configurator can be used to request the desired door configuration. For easy communication, the automatically generated data sheet with all important information is attached directly to the e-mail conversation.
The connection to the heroal specialist partner database enables the configurator to be played back with an adapted request process for the various specialist partners.
The configurator has expandable multilingual functions. The desired language is automatically selected based on the browser's language setting. A subsequent change to another language is possible at any time.
For the creation of individual advertising materials, an internal mode has been implemented which enables the creation of high-resolution images of the door from any camera position.
Thanks to its responsive design, the heroal front door configurator is available on almost all end devices.
In the internal mode of the configurator, high-resolution images can be created for advertising purposes.
heroal makes the configurator available to its specialist partners for use on their own website.
A data sheet containing all important data can be created for each configuration at any time.
The configurator is available in three languages. Further languages can be integrated at any time.
Leads are automatically generated in the CRM system via the request process in the configurator.

EXHIBITION STATEMENT
"Fascism … also stands for an ideal or rather ideals that are persistent today under the other
banners: the ideal of life as art, the cult of beauty, the fetishism of courage, the dissolution of
alienation in ecstatic feelings of community; the repudiation of the intellect; the family of man
(under the parenthood of leaders)." –Susan Sontag, Fascinating Fascism
This exhibition interrogates the seductiveness and glamour of evil. Evil, after all, is adept at
projecting a certain kind of charm. We cherish the antics of our TV and motion picture villains
in all their insouciant brutality and eroticized violence. But evil can also exert a subtle charm in the allure of its ability to feign a release from life's problems. Accepting the Faustian bargain of evil offerings requires a willingness to enter into a complicity with that evil, and to sacrifice the ideals of the "good life" that we aspire to. It is arguable that consenting to evil is always an intimate choice, with the goal of manipulating its victims into rejecting their own self-worth and, in consequence, to giving away control over the direction of their own life-course, now subsumed in service to evil. This can take place on the level of an intimate personal relationship, as in the instance of a rakish seduction, or on the level of an entire culture, as the history of fascism has shown.
Borrowing from a diverse range of artists from Filippo Marinetti, Rirkrit Tiranamija, Yves Klein
and Wyndham Lewis, the exhibition space will be converted into a domestic backdrop against which objects, activities and more will form a totalized artistic environment. Visitors will be invited to interact with this environment while performances are conducted in the manner of a teatro totale. The question of the allure of evil will be interrogated both in objects that compose the environment, in performances both interactive with the audience, and in those acted out as if no audience were present. Video documentation of these performances will be presented following their presentation, and presented thereafter as a documentary component of the exhibition.
ABOUT ANTIDOTE PROJECTS
ANTIDOTE is a roving, independent curatorial and exhibition platform co-founded by Michael Workman and Berlin-based sculptor Edouard Steinhauer in 2009. Conceived as an occasional project-based initiative, ANTIDOTE does not take on artists for career representation, preferring instead a collaborative approach to the cultivation of unconventional formal approaches to audience engagement. ANTIDOTE serves as an independent curatorial platform to advocate for and disseminate the works of underrepresented artists, specifically through special presentations and exhibitions at art fairs, publications, educational programming, and other nontraditional forms of curatorial programming, with an aim to exploring unorthodox distribution systems for disseminating artist's works. ANTIDOTE only showcases artists who have been carefully selected for visual work that consistently centers on the development of intricate imaginative world or system-based constructions, dematerialization of traditional forms, and/or whose work otherwise counters the purely object-based approach to art-making. As such, often these artists have been overlooked by the art world, since their approach often problematizes the conventions of or confounds audience expectations surrounding the industry's cultivated preference for traditional object-based modes.

Woman may be 'banned' from Statham properties

Barrow County Legal Organ
in Top Stories & Breaking News
The Statham City Council will hold a called meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday to consider banning from city property a woman who has been a persistent thorn for more than a year.
The council will consider "prohibiting entry on city property" against Catherine Corkren.
Corkren has attended nearly every council meeting for months and has filed more than 80 open records requests in 2018, according to city attorney Thomas Mitchell.
The hearing on the item will include comments from a city representative and from Corkren or her representative.
A letter from Mitchell to Corkren says the city will "place in the record:
"Inaccurate investigative reports; video of you surreptitiously attempting to record a conversation held in Ms. Chang's office (Mai Chang, city clerk); the video of your encounter with Ms. Sandra Bennett on Aug. 8, 2018; an affidavit by Ms. Chang recounting your abusive and threatening words and actions toward her; a statement regarding my conversation with Sheriff (Jud) Smith regarding your conduct in his office on Aug. 23, 2018, and your emails to Ms. Heather Tarver falsely accusing a court employee of inappropriate or unlawful activity."
Mitchell's letter charges Corkren with being and having "belligerent, intimidating, even threatening conduct" toward city employees and says the "city is concerned that you would have no compunction about threatening or even doing harm" to city employees.
His letter also says, "You have made multiple complaints against Statham officials and employees, all of which have terminated in favor of the City of Statham employees. Further, the investigators assigned to those matters have concluded that your reports are not accurate."
Three council members could not remember a similar action taken in the past.
If the council adopts the prohibition, Corkren would not be allowed at city hall, the community center, police department, Hillman-Rainwater or Robert L. Bridges parks, or any city-owned water and sewer easements other than those located on rights-of-way.
Corkren said she would comment and introduce documents at the hearing Thursday.

Statham officials seem to forget that the reason this women even got involved with anything going on in Statham was because her loved one was unjustly arrested by disgraced former cop - Lofton. Charges dropped, of course. And just one of many foolish arrests Lofton made.
Nonetheless - It is BECAUSE of those Lofton arrests that Ms. Corkren is involved with many records requests and so forth - - because those innocent people are now suing Lofton, chief Johnston and the city.
Perhaps the city officials are embarrassed that they mishandled the Lofton thing. Involved locals say the mayor and council have never even apologized to any of Lofton's victims, to this day! Perhaps the officials would like it if the public just let them off the hook and "forget Lofton ever happened." Perhaps it seems easier and more convenient to exclude, persecute, silence, and kick out of city meetings the people who dare to disagree with this mayor or city leaders. Perhaps since this woman has boldly spoken up - the leaders may hope that if they silence HER, others may be too fearful to stand up for themselves.
But that is not reality. At the root of this situation are the basic concepts of fairness and justice. America! Ms. Corkren is just one of a larger group of people seeking justice through the civil courts, because the city leaders were apparently NOT LISTENING.
Statham leaders - leave Ms. Corkren alone. You are making yourselves look both guilty and foolish. Let the civil court cases follow their natural course and play out. Citizens have a right to seek justice, after all.
And, Statham leaders might try something new and different - - they could actually proceed with integrity, and try to open an honest dialogue with the citizens they swore to serve. Including Ms.Corkren and the others harmed by the foul police work in Statham.
Perhaps...

Setting a precedence that doesn't need to be set. So what if she filed 80+ open records request; you charge per page. So what if she attends the counsel meetings; they are open to the public FOR A REASON. Now as far at the rest goes, yes she is a bit of a nut case, but you need to find a better way of dealing with her.
#2.1.1 BH on 09/14/18 at 06:37 PM [Reply]
Seems like the city leaders "manufactured" a reason to banish her. Probably wanted to arrest her, except for that annoying technicality that she DID NOTHING WRONG.
It is clear this woman and the city have no love for each other - after all, she is a leader of many citizens suing the city, chief and Lofton. Understood.
One concludes the city is trying just another tactic to hinder the lawsuits. They have tried public humilation, rude insinuations of mental illness, and tossing folks out of public town meetings. None of those worked. This probably won't either.
But, WOW, does it show the true colors of the ciy attorney and the buffoons on the council.
Statham is indeed in a parallel universe where reality is - well - weird!
This newspaper prints that in a letter, city attorney Mitchell "charges Corkren with being and having "belligerent, intimidating, even threatening conduct" toward city employees and says the "city is concerned that you would have no compunction about threatening or even doing harm" to city employees."
Funny...I don't recall hearing a peep from Mitchell to reel in disgraced former cop Lofton, when Lofton was threatening women, the frail and the terminally-ill with being tazered at the side of the road. Unjustly. Lofton certainly demonstrated he had "no compunction about threatening or even doing harm."
Not a peep from TeamMitchell then.
So...let me get this straight. Lofton's behavior, it seems, was not a concern to Mitchell (?)
But a woman standing up for herself and others against a mean-spirited local government - - that, well, Mitchell will not allow it!
IMO - At the end of the day - - this comes right down to money. The city is being sued by these victims-of-Lofton. The city may have to pay! The officials are now turning to ugly methods to try to shut up these folks - to avoid having to settle up. So here comes Mitchell's letter, making this self-serving argument about fearing harm to city workers. Bollocks!
My eyeballs work, and they have seen the videos of city meetings. Nasty, disrespectful public servants who apparently cannot stand the idea that somebody is challenging them.
So about that letter. Sorry - not buying it.
The article says: "Three council members could not remember a similar action taken in the past."
Are they daft? How can they possibly forget...
TeamBridges orchestrated the arrests and "trespassing" of Mr. McDaniel and Mrs. Moore just 4 short months ago for looking at sewer stuff. You will recall they worked on Statham's "joint" council/citizens water/sewer committee. Sounds like mayor did not want them to know something... arrested! This was just 4 months ago, people! In fact, Mrs. Moore was arrested twice in one day!
So this council pretending "this" has never happened before would be laughable!
Except for the harm done to those two people arrested unjustly.
Thinking people can see how Statham's politicians railroad those who dare to have differing opinions. Watch the city meeting videos. One could conclude there is a well-established pattern for TeamBridges and its police to chuck dissenters out of meetings - where they are allowed to be - and even into jail.
This is EXACTLY why your fellow citizens "sue." Best of luck to every one of them.
One has to wonder - - instead of this disgraceful behavior by the city, why doesn't the council open a dialogue with all these people to resolve these city messes with honor. There has to be a better way.
#5 Ken on 09/18/18 at 10:49 PM [Reply]
I'm glad the council is taking care of this and is also handling this professionally. This lady doesn't seem to have the best interests in mind for the rest of the town.
#5.1 BH on 09/20/18 at 03:49 PM [Reply]
Many would see this as ANYTHING BUT professional!
Very true: Ms. Corkren has been at odds with the officials since her loved one was unjustly arrested by Lofton in 2015.
Can't shake the conclusion that this comes back to money. The Statham officials failed to stop disgraced ex-cop Lofton, and now a number of those unjustly arrested are suing for Lofton-related matters. Including Ms. Corkren.
The mayor and peeps should know they screwed up about Lofton, BUT at the same time, they want to avoid paying damages to those innocent people. Because it reflects badly on the officials' decision-making, ethics, and fairness. EGO.
The officials find themselves powerless to stop the lawsuits. But...they apparently are trying to shut up the public from bringing all of this up at town meetings. Banish out-spoken folks like Ms. Corkren, and muzzle dissenters.
Officials with integrity would admit the police made errors, and then deal honestly with those harmed. There is honor in that. Mistakes CAN happen - the city COULD make amends.
However, there is NO honor in attempting to portray those bringing suits as not being "for the good of the town" or just in it for the money. These folks were harmed!! They deserve their day in court and to be made whole again. Holding police accountable is indeed good for all, and in fact very good for the rest of this town.
EVEN IF it is embarassing for the city leaders to have to admit their errors. In public. At town meetings. In Statham.
#6 Katie Corkren on 09/19/18 at 05:41 PM [Reply]
Ken, your comment couldn't be further from the truth. Every action I've taken and every word I have spoken has been in an effort to reform Statham so that EVERYONE has a voice, and so that the corruption can be dragged out into the sunlight, exposed, and reversed. At this point, the Statham City Council and attorney Thomas Mitchell are showing just how desperate they are to keep Statham in the dark ages. So desperate they violated the constitution of the United States and the laws of Georgia to ban me-ILLEGALLY. They have turned their backs on every opportunity they have been given to reverse their conduct and show that they can govern according to the law. Nothing they did was done professionally. It was done illegally..and it is about to be dealt with.
One gets the sense that Statham officials are nervous about the civil lawsuits soon facing them. Lofton and Johnston will be compelled to testify regarding the allegedly abusive and unjust arrests made by ex-cop Lofton and defended by chief Johnston, mayor Bridges and council. The testimony may be quite unflattering to those in charge. What better way to fend off questions from the public, than to limit, or even forbid, the public to pose questions at public meetings?

This seems uber aggressive.
Dear Tree Removal,
IMO Not only was it "uber aggressive" as you say, but some have opined that it was a malicious act, of a vengeful council.
You may have heard, but at a town meeting several weeks later, these same officials made ANOTHER MOTION to un-ban the woman. To take it back - too late, the harm was already done.
Who could blame the woman for suing the city, at this point?
Social media suggests that the city's insurer instructed the council to un-do its act of banning. Who knows? The public may not know that for sure, until the city officials confess who or what made them un-do their unanimous vote to ban in the first place.
Perhaps council member Perry Barton could shed light on that, as he made the first motion to ban. That, after months of observing his nastiness towards the citizens/supporters bringing lawsuits against the police and city. Much of that nastiness is captured on video.
Perry, care to respond in your official capacity? Anyone on council..., anyone on council..., Buehler?

Casting Call, Part II — And Info on Paperbacks!
First things first: paperbacks for Rich Man's War and Natural Consequences are now available through Amazon! I apologize for the wait on NatCon — to be completely honest, I got very focused on putting RMW together and so that project languished despite my having a printed proof to work with for a good long while. At any rate, if anyone's looking for, oh, holiday gifts or whatnot, I've got four books to offer… 🙂
On to sillier business!
I wanted to let the "casting call" question hang for a bit to see if I'd get any bites on it, and I got a few. I'll confess that I did this in part because I wanted to hear some ideas, and I found a few in the comments that I found intriguing.
This question kicked my ass for two reasons: First, I just plain don't watch all that much television or film. I'm very often That Guy Who Hasn't Seen That Thing (OMG!), and often I'm still not interested no matter how many people tell me I totally have to watch/see/read this. If the dust jacket or the preview or the Netflix descriptor doesn't interest me, I can be very hard to motivate. The second, perhaps more interesting reason that this question was tough for me is that a great many of my characters are drawn from people I know. Rachel and Wade from Good Intentions, Gunny Janeka, Cpl. Brent Collins and a great many others from Poor Man's Fight–these are all based heavily on people I know or have known in the past, and that's part of how I bring them to life.
But I'm gonna go ahead and try to come up with more recognizable options for this.
Also, for what it's worth, we have to remember that actors get older, but we don't necessarily remember that because we think of work they did ten or twenty years ago. A lot of the characters in both my series are pretty young people, making them tough to cast. Hell, it's even tougher when you consider the longevity treatments that keep people younger longer in PMF/RMW; remember, Andrea is supposed to be in her early sixties, but she only looks twenty-five or so.
So here goes:
Poor Man's Fight / Rich Man's War
Tanner Malone — Argh. That's a problem right out of the gate for me. My gut answer is "go for an unknown, maybe Latino, maybe Caucasian." The role would require a serious tan; Tanner is literally tanner than most of the people around him. But my first choice would be a young Shane Taylor, who played Eugene "Doc" Roe in Band of Brothers. Beat up, demoralized, almost empty inside but still moving and still feeling…if I can get that performance into my books at any point, I'll have won at writing.
Someone suggested Anton Yelchin (Chekov in the new Star Trek films) for Jason from Good Intentions, and I honestly think it might be interesting to get him a good tan, buzz down that hair and see how he'd do.
He's not named for the tan, btw; that's just a happy accident. Tanner is named for a Harry Chapin song I heard years ago called Mr. Tanner. It's about a man whose talents don't match his passions. And I can more or less promise you that I'll never write anything as sad as a Harry Chapin song, but the name stuck with me!
Casey — Wow, so the James Spader suggestions really surprised me. I haven't seen his more recent stuff, though. It's certainly an interesting thought. From the beginning, though, I always envisioned Casey as a blend of Ian McShane as Al Swearengen (NSFW!!) from Deadwood and Michael Wincott's Top Dollar in The Crow. (Also NSFW, really) Either one would make me really happy.
Lauren Williams — Uma Thurman. Versatile actress who can convey confident experience and is clearly comfortable with a stabby role.
Also, at least one of the pirate ensemble would have to be played by Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead. Because why wouldn't he? Hell, he could just be there as himself. He's Lemmy. Needs no other explanation.
Darren Mills — James Franco. Heh.
Gunny Janeka — My first thought is Angela Bassett, because her performance as Tina Turner really blew me away. However, the suggestion of Jada Pinkett Smith also works pretty solidly for me.
Chief Everett — A somewhat younger Bruce Greenwood (Capt. Pike in the new Star Trek films) would kick ass in this role, but to be honest, he's one of the best parts of those films. He may just kick ass at everything.
Admiral Yeoh — She's straight-up named for Michelle Yeoh. That one was set in stone in my head the moment I started writing her.
Allison — Eliza Dushku, maybe? This one's still somewhat open for me because I see someone I knew years ago.
Andrea Bennett — Eva Green. Done.
President Aguirre — Mark Consuelos, maybe aged up a bit. (btw, if you have Amazon Prime and you're not watching Alpha House, you're missing out. It's amazingly funny.)
Vanessa Rios — Rosario Dawson or Michelle Rodriguez.
Einstein — Um. Honestly, I'm at a loss on this one. Damn.
Alicia Wong — I wince while I write this, but I really think of Rinko Kikuchi. That bothers me a little bit because Rinko is Japanese, while "Wong" is a pretty clearly Chinese name, and I don't want to sound like I don't know the difference…but if you saw Pacific Rim and didn't absolutely fall in love with Rinko, I feel you may need to take your soul in for a diagnostic. Hell, maybe Alicia has some blended Chinese & Japanese ancestry. Who knows? It's never been spelled out… 🙂
Sanjay — Inspired by Sanjay Seran, vocalist for Delhi 2 Dublin — an amazing band to see live. I kinda doubt the guy does any acting, but that's who I see in my head.
Booker — Oh, man, can we get Anthony Mackie? I thought everyone in Captain America 2 was amazeballs, but Mackie just stole scene after scene that I thought had already been stolen by somebody else.
Lt. Kelly — Here's where my West Wing fanboy comes out (you'll see plenty of it). I'd want Allison Smith in her earliest days as Mallory (Leo McGarry's daughter). I haven't seen any of True Blood, but I liked the suggestion of Deborah Ann Woll, too. She's definitely got the look.
Harris — Brian Bloom (Pike from the ridiculously fun A-Team film)
Jesse (Jessica) Baldwin — I like the Ellen Page suggestion, but I also think of Kat Dennings.
Good Intentions / Natural Consequences
Again, we run into the youth thing here. Also, this is a much racier story. I have no clue if any of these actors & actresses would want in on such roles. But, to my thinking, It's Not Porn. It's HBO. (NSFW language and goddamn hilarious.)
Alex Carlisle — As with Tanner, I'd be happy to go with a young unknown. Otherwise…if we could get a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I think we'd be set.
Lorelei — Changed in my head so many times while writing those books I can't even articulate it. One minute she was Sophia Loren, the next minute she was Morena Baccarin. But in the end, the voice that came through strongest for me and kept selling it over and over again was Claudia Black. I also think that Polly Walker (Atia from HBO's Rome) would knock this out of the park.
Rachel — Another one that is basically someone I know. However…Emily Procter, who played Ainsley Hayes on the West Wing could totally have fit this role. My other thought would be: get Taylor Swift and have her do her Kesha impression. Done.
Drew Jones — Dulé Hill. Done. (My West Wing fanboyness coming out again.)
Wade Reinhardt — Again, I already know him, but you don't. My girlfriend recently got watching Supernatural, which I'd (amazingly) never watched despite the things I write. Having seen some of that over her shoulder, I think Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester) would be great in that role if we could, y'know, roll back the clock about fifteen years on him.
Jason Cohen — I'm kinda back to the Anton Yelchin suggestion here.
Taylor — Summer Glau.
Onyx — Kat Dennings.
Molly — Natalie Dormer (as suggested). I don't watch GoT, but I've seen the pics, and I remember her brief moment in Captain America. She'd be great.
Vincent — Kevin McKidd (If I'm not mistaken, he's already played one angel…)
I think that's all I can handle of this for now. At any rate, Book Three for Tanner's story is in the works! I'm only recently through with the prologue & pushing on through Chapter One, but I wanted people to know that I'm not wasting a whole lot of time there.
Talk to you again soon!
