After a divorce has been finalized, it may be necessary to modify certain terms of the agreement. This may happen in cases where a divorce was done without the help of a lawyer, resulting in unfair terms, or when a person has experienced a substantial change in the circumstances of his or her life.
At Law Offices of Michelanne Hrubic, our attorney can let you know what your options are when it comes to seeking modifications to a divorce decree. To schedule an initial consultation at our law firm in Riverside, call 951-888-1574.
There are certain terms of a divorce agreement, such as property division, that are generally not subject to modification. However, the law recognizes that when a person's circumstances have substantially changed, it may be necessary to change certain aspects of the agreement. A substantial change in circumstances may include the loss of a job, a remarriage or a need to move out of state.
One of the most frequently modified aspects of a divorce decree are those involving child custody and visitation. These are usually sought when one parent is planning to relocate, or when there have been accusations of neglect or abuse. Another aspect that is often modified is the terms of child support, particularly when a parent has lost a job or, alternatively, when he or she has received a substantial bump in income. If spousal support, or alimony, is part of a divorce agreement, that may be modified upon remarriage or when the spouse receiving payments has become self-sufficient.
Whether you are seeking a modification or wish to challenge an ex's request for a divorce decree modification, we can help explore your options. Call 951-888-1574 or contact us online to schedule an initial consultation to discuss your situation.

Q: How to post/upload recorded video as blob in MVC using HTML5/ Javascript at client side and C# code at controller? I am building a video surveillance application where the requirement is to save recorded video feeds to the server so that they can be served up to the viewer later. Am using MediaRecorder API to do so, and as the continuous stream would end up in a very large file difficult to be posted all at once, i plan to chop the stream blob into multiple chunks and keep posting periodically. Now the recording event is fired with a toggle switch in html page and then Javascript takes over.
Here is the code that i have so far:
HTML:
some code...

            <input type="checkbox" name="onoffswitch" class="onoffswitch-checkbox" id="switch1">

some code...
JavaScript:
var mediaRecorder;
var pushInterval = 6000;
var id, counter = 0;
// var formData;

function toggleVideoFeed() {
    var element = document.getElementById("switch1");

    element.onchange = (function (onchange) {
        return function (evt) {
            // reference to event to pass argument properly
            evt = evt || event;

            // if an existing event already existed then execute it.
            if (onchange) {
                onchange(evt);
            }

            if (evt.target.checked) {
                startRecord();

            } else {
                stopRecord();
            };
        }
    })(element.onchange);
}

var dataAvailable = function (e) {

    var formData = new FormData();
    var fileName = "blob" + counter + ".mp4";

    console.log("data size: ", e.data.size);

    var encodeData = new Blob([e.data], { type: 'multipart/form-data' });
    formData.append("blob", encodeData, fileName);

    var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    request.open("POST", "/Device/Upload", false);
    request.send(formData);
    counter++;

}

function startRecord() {

    navigator.getUserMedia = (navigator.getUserMedia ||
                       navigator.webkitGetUserMedia ||
                       navigator.mozGetUserMedia ||
                       navigator.msGetUserMedia);

    if (navigator.getUserMedia) {
        navigator.getUserMedia(

           // constraints
           {
               video: true,
               audio: false
           },

           // successCallback
           function (stream) {

               mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder(stream);
               mediaRecorder.start();
               mediaRecorder.ondataavailable = dataAvailable;
               // setInterval(function () { mediaRecorder.requestData() }, 10000);
           },

           // errorCallback
           function (err) {
               console.log("The following error occured: " + err);
           }
        );
    } else {
        console.log("getUserMedia not supported");
    }

}

function stopRecord() {
    mediaRecorder.stop();
}

Controller-C#
[HttpPost]

        public JsonResult Upload(HttpPostedFileBase blob)
        {
            string fileName = blob.FileName;

            int i = Request.Files.Count;
            blob.SaveAs(@"C:\Users\priya_000\Desktop\Videos\" + fileName);

            return Json("success: " + i + fileName);
        }

THE PROBLEM:
When i try playing the received .mp4 files as i get them on the server end, i can play just the first file blob0 and the rest although they show similar sizes to the first file (4 mb each) do not contain any video data. Is it possible that the data i receive on the other end is corrupt/ garbled? Or is there something wrong with my code. Please help guys - Have been trying to solve this problem since the last 10 days with no clue how to figure it out.

A: mp4 files have a header which is put at the beginning of the file. The header contains information used to initialize the decoder and without it the file cannot be played. Try concatenating the files (the first one and the second one) and see if the whole file plays. If yes then the problem is a missing header. If not please send me the two files so I can inspect them and see what exactly is stored in these.
There is no way AFAIK to instruct MediaRecorder to append the header to each blob of video. You have to do it manually.
PS. sorry for the late response.

A: You can use RecordRTC by Muaz Khan and use the MVC Section to record and save video to the server.

As most people know, a blood clot can be one of our most deadly enemies, despite their small size. They can occur in either the arterial (high pressure) side or venous (low pressure) side of our vascular system. A "thrombus" occurs when there is a buildup of clot in a vessel, and an "embolus" occurs when a clot floats to another area thereby plugging a blood vessel.
Formation of arterial clots usually occurs as a result from damage to the lining of the blood vessel. Causes of such damage include smoking, abnormal cholesterol/lipid levels, and diabetes. Disturbance of blood flow patterns can also cause arterial clots. Examples include irregular heart rate (atrial fibrillation) and large-vessel aneurysm. Since most arterial clots are composed of platelets, aspirin (a platelet inhibitor) often has a role in prevention and treatment.
Although clots in the venous side share some of the same risk factors as arterial clots (smoking, for instance), lack of mobility for this already low-pressure flow is the major cause of venous clots. When blood does not flow, it tends to clot. As a result, surgery can be a major risk factor for venous clots. For prevention, your surgeon will often prescribe mechanical leg compression devices and/or low-dose blood thinners. For your part, frequent walking and good hydration starting soon after surgery will restore good venous flow and help prevent venous clots.
The same reasoning applies to long car or airplane trips. Since these clots are composed of clotting proteins rather than platelets, aspirin does not play much of a role in prevention.

At Conservation International, we have always considered ourselves and everyone associated with us as family. In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, this sense of community is more important and meaningful than ever. I know this is a difficult time for all of us. I feel it with my family, my parents and loved ones who live abroad, far from us.
Conservation International's mission has never seemed more important: To protect nature so that people and the planet thrive together. We know that the significant and unrelenting challenges facing nature will not stop for this pandemic, some will accelerate— and we will continue our work with focus and vigor to deliver on the promises that so many have helped support.
These unsettling days are also a wake-up call, a firm reminder that human well-being is inextricably linked to biodiversity and the health of our planet — whether it's climate change, forest fires, emergent tropical diseases, pandemics, loss of freshwater, etc. — and saving nature is really about saving ourselves.
Over our 33-year history, Conservation International has faced many challenges — though nothing quite like this. Our approach in the face of adversity has never been to retreat, to give in to fear and distrust, but rather to find a way forward, guided by science, acting with swiftness and compassion. Now we will do the same. Although we are in perilous waters, we are confident that we will, as a community, support one another and emerge stronger.
Now is the time to take a deep breath, center ourselves and recommit to our mission to protect nature for people. From there, as always, our work continues. We are here for each other and Conservation International is here for you.

At the 2016 Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction awards ceremony last week, just before we announced this year's winner, Syl Saller, Diageo Chief Marketing Officer took to the stage to give a fantastically inspirational speech. We've reproduced her wonderful words for you below.
We're in our third year of proudly sponsoring the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction. It's become a bit of tradition for me to give the sponsor's speech without sounding too, 'sponsor-like'.
Reasons for this are easy to understand – the minute I start with the corporate speak you'll head for the bar as quick as I can say 'paradigm shift' or 'think outside the box'. And I wouldn't blame you. I'm hugely proud of Baileys – and especially proud of our sponsorship of the Prize. They need no explanation.
Instead, I want to take a few minutes to talk about feeding your mind and nurturing your soul. At the heart of it, that's why so many of us love books – why they mean so much to us – and why these awards are so important.
I'm lucky enough to attend a number of events like tonight which are hugely inspirational and I thought I'd share one experience that I saw as clearly connected to the Prize and this evening:
Last February I went to South by Southwest – not the music festival – I'm not nearly cool enough for that, but the part where you get to hear from some of the great thinkers of the world. The hit keynote speech was from Dr Brené Brown, the research professor, who is best known for her Ted Talk on the Power of Vulnerability.
Brené talks about vulnerability as having the guts to show up and be seen – putting yourself out there – risking criticism and hurt.
Creativity is the way things travel from the head to the heart into the hands. And there is no creativity without vulnerability.
The quote I remember most from South by Southwest is one that Brené uses from Teddy Roosevelt, from a time when guys like Donald Trump would have never made the ticket. To make it appropriate for this evening, I've shortened it and done a gender swap, but it goes something like this:
It is not the critic who counts; not the person who points out how the strong stumble.
The credit belongs to the woman who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and who strives valiantly.
Who errs, who comes short, again and again, But who does actually strive to do the deeds;
And who at the worst, If she fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
Think about our shortlisted authors – and the risks they take in sharing their ideas and their inner worlds with all of us amidst all the uncertainty and emotional exposure to what people will think, say, and tweet.
If we look for them, there are examples of people who have this kind of courage, everywhere. I see them here tonight, in my work, and in my family and friends.
Monday night's Prize panel discussion, the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction Book Club in association with Grazia, was full of fascinating stories from incredible women:
Felicity Blunt talked about how hard it was initially to convince people of the genius of A Visit from the Goon Squad. It went on to win a Pulitzer. Leyla Hussein shared the trauma of reading The Possession of Joy because of the horrific memories it brought back. Hajar Woodland shared her thoughts on being a writer, musician and Muslim feminist. And finally, Kathy Lette who made us laugh with her incredible wit and insight. She is indeed an 'espresso martini for the mind'.
To write a book is to put yourself naked onto the page and offer it up for the world to judge. Few things take this much courage.
Tonight, I am thrilled to be honouring these six extraordinary writers who indeed are role models for us all. To quote my most quotable friend, the amazing Kate Mosse:
'If there are no women writers recognised, then no one thinks it could be them. If there are a few women, a woman might think it could be her. If there are lots of women, then a woman will ask, what kind of writer will I be?'
My belief is that we can all dare greatly. That we all have the ability to put ourselves out there, to risk failure knowing that we can get back up again. To understand that we learn the most when things don't go our way. And that being vulnerable is the path to growth, to creativity and to greatness.

Q: Sitemap is HTML - but it's supposed to be XML I have a small web application made with cakephp, and I am trying to submit its sitemap.xml to Google Webmaster Tools. This is the sitemap's address: http://gomme.gommarolo.org/sitemap.xml
The problem is, when I submit that address, google tells me that the sitemap is in HTML format, thus suggesting me to use another format.
The content of that page, itself, looks like a proper XML file and even chrome says that its content type is application/xml.
What's wrong with that sitemap?

The sign of reactance – a challenge posed a problem, a set of R,|X| data taken with an analyser of a quite simple network and asked readers to solve the sign of X over the range, ie to transform R,|X| to R,X.
It is widely held that this is a trivial matter, and lots of software / firmware implement algorithms that fail on some scenarios. Though the scenario posed was designed to be a small set that provides a challenging problem, it is not purely theoretical, the characteristics of the data occur commonly in real world problems and the challenge data is derived from measurement of a real network.
The network measured is comprised from analyser, a 2.8m length of RG58/CU, a tee piece feeding a 50 resistor on one branch and on the other branch, another 2.8m length of RG58/CU with a 4.7Ω resistor termination.
Over time, readers of The sign of reactance have suggested that determining the sign of reactance with an antenna analyser that does not directly measure the sign is not all that difficult, even for beginners. The article shoots down some of the most common algorithms as failures on simple cases.
Here is the data from measurement made with an AA-600 and then all – signs removed, so in fact the Xs column is |Xs|.

Ellington describes in a Youtube video his high power matching transformer for an EFHW, he rates it suited to 500W CW.
Like almost all such 'designs', they are published without supporting measurements or simulations.
The transformer is intended to be used with a load such that the input impedance Zin is approximately 50+j0Ω, Gin=0.02S.
Analysis of a simple model of the transformer with a load such that input impedance is 50+j0Ω gives insight into likely core losses.

Is a ham transmitter conjugate matched to its load?
Following on from KL7AJ on the Conjugate Match Theorem, KL7AJ on the Conjugate Match Theorem – analytical solution asked the question Is a ham transmitter conjugate matched to its load?
The answer speaks to the relevance of Walt Maxwell's Conjugate Mirror proposition to ham stations. Continue reading Is a ham transmitter conjugate matched to its load?
KL7AJ on the Conjugate Match Theorem asked the question Should we have expected this outcome?
Let us solve a very similar problem analytically where measurement errors do not contribute to the outcome.
Taking the load impedance to be the same 10.1+j0.2Ω, and calculating for a T match similar to the MFJ-949E (assuming L=26µH, QL=200, and ideal capacitors) we can find a near perfect match.
The capacitors are 177.2 and 92.93pF for the match.
One of the most useful (and sometimes astonishing) principles in radio is the Conjugate Match theorem. In the simplest terms, what this says is that the maximum power will be transferred between a source (like a transmitter) and a load (like an antenna), when the source impedance is the COMPLEX CONJUGATE of the load impedance (or vice versa).
Here's a neat little experiment to prove the conjugate match theorem. You need four basic ingredients: an antenna analyzer like the MFJ259 (or an actual impedance bridge, if you know how to use one). A good low loss antenna tuner. A good 50 ohm resistor. And a good 200 ohm resistor. And some appropriate connecting hardware, namely some short bits of coax.
Step 1) connect the 50 ohm resistor to the OUTPUT of the antenna tuner. Connect the antenna analyzer to the INPUT of the antenna tuner.
Step 2) Adjust the antenna tuner to get precisely 50 ohms, zero reactance on the antenna analyzer. This step simply confirms everything is working.
Step 3) Replace the 50 ohm resistor with the 200 ohm resistor. Readjust the antenna tuner to get 50 ohms, zero reactance on the antenna analyzer. Do not disturb the antenna tuner adjustments after this point.
Step 4) Remove the 200 ohm resistor and insert the antenna analyzer in its place (at the OUTPUT of the antenna tuner).
Step 5) Insert the 50 ohm resistor at the INPUT of the antenna tuner.
10 points for anyone who will correctly explain why this works.
Jacobi published his maximum power transfer theorem in 1840. It states that maximum power is transferred from a (Thevenin) source to a load when the load resistance is equal to the (Thevenin equivalent) source resistance.
It was later adapted to apply to AC circuits with sinusoidal excitation, maximum power is transferred from a (Thevenin) source to a load when the load impedance is the complex conjugate of the (Thevenin equivalent) source impedance.

El Clasico Mini Series | Barcelona 2-0 Real Madrid
The Pep Guardiola Era of Barcelona is home to many accolades and achievements. Records were created and were broken. One of the records was the unbeaten run of 7 El Clasico matches in La Liga. What is more astounding is the way in which it was done by Barcelona as they dominated the three years like no other team in the history of Spanish Football. In this series, we take a look at the seven El Clasico matches that saw the Catalan club dominate their rivals from Madrid under Pep Guardiola's tutelage.
Barcelona 2-0 Real Madrid, Dec 2008
It was Pep Guardiola's first El Clasico in the league as the boss of FC Barcelona. Not many knew how the Catalan would fare as the coach of one of the famous clubs in the world but for one Johan Cruyff who said "I saw one of the best Barcelona performances for years". Mind you, this was said after Barcelona's stuttering start to the campaign.
The stakes were high as the former manager Bernd Schuster predicted that it is impossible for Real Madrid to win at the Camp Nou as Barcelona were 9 points ahead of the defending champions Madrid and also on an unbeaten streak of 13 games. It was early stages for Juande Ramos at Real Madrid and it looked as though Real were going to accomplish mission impossible but Eto'o and Messi denied them late in what was a fine performance from Football Club Barcelona.
Line ups:
Made using TacticalPad
Barcelona (4-3-3) | Manager: Pep Guardiola
1.Valdes – 20.Dani Alves, 4.Marquez, 5.Puyol, 22.Abidal – 6.Xavi, 24.Toure, 7.Gudjohnsen – 9.Eto'o, 10.Messi, 14.Henry
Real Madrid (4-4-2) | Manager: Juande Ramos
1.Casillas – 2.Salgado, 5.Cannavaro, 21.Metzelder, 4.Sergio Ramos – 10.Sneijder, 14.Guti, 8.Gago, 15.Drenthe – 20.Higuain, 7.Raul
Pep Guardiola started his side in their customary formation, the 4-3-3. Valdes started in goal as Dani Alves, Marquez, Puyol and Abidal played as the defensive four infront of the Spanish keeper. In the middle, the trio of Xavi, Toure and Gudjohnsen dominated the centre. Eto'o started as the right winger while Henry occupied the left wing. Messi started as the striker up front.
For the away side, Casillas started in between the sticks. Two banks of four of Salgado, Cannavaro, Metzelder and Ramos started in defence while Sneijder, Guti, Gago and Drenthe started in midfield. Higuain and Raul started in attack for the Defending Champions. And this meant that Juande Ramos had set his side up in a 4-4-2.
Initial Pressing from both the teams
It was well known from the start of the season that Barcelona looked to employ the high pressing tactic to win the ball back. Interestingly, Real Madrid also pressed when their opposite numbers had the ball but the pressing schemes from both the teams differed. While Madrid were set up to play more defensively, they also looked to make full use of their attacking prowess.
The Real Madrid press was contented to midfield in most cases and it was seen that they allowed Barcelona to play in the middle-third and then pressed the ball carriers as both the strikers backtracked the central midfielders Xavi and Gudjohnsen.
Just as seen in the image above, Real Madrid allowed Barcelona to play into the midfield and then pressed through the ball near winger and forward. The direct marker usually pressed the ball carrier and this helped Real Madrid to regain ball back. This was successful in some instances but not in major cases.
Barcelona often were able to bypass the press as the likes of Xavi and Messi were technically better on the ball and were able to draw a foul to restart the game. Also they were able to find a player in the next line of attack after evading the press.
Barcelona on the other hand were involved in possession based build up and wanted to have more of the possession. Given their philosophy, they sought to keep the ball at their feet and thereby pressed the ball carrier in opposite numbers. Barcelona employed high pressing from their forwards as Messi, Eto'o and Henry were joined by Xavi and Gudjohnsen from the midfield.
Messi finds too much space
Arguably the best player on the night, Messi started on the right with Eto'o in the centre and there were phases where both these players would swap positions. While Messi played on the wings, he found more space as Ramos was often attracted to the offensive movements of his team. This caught him off position when Messi slipped past him in the right.
Often the ball near midfielder was seen to aid his full back partner to stop Messi from dominating the space but Messi was able to win the 1v1 situation as he was quite naturally faster and technically adept in the field. This caused problems for Real Madrid defensively on most instances.
In the image below Messi could be seen arriving at space from a break and Ramos has been exposed. Both Ramos and Drenthe are attracted to the ball carrier which leaves Messi unmarked.
Also the shape used by Barcelona saw them play very wide and left spaces in the middle during the build up. Henry and Eto'o stayed very wide and Messi was often seen dropping into these spaces to conduct play from the middle. Also he was seen carrying the ball forward with his brilliant dribbling on the ball which also caused more problems for the defenders.
Puyol effective from the back
One of the signature tactics used by Pep Guardiola in his first season was the build up from the back. In that case, the defenders often included a typical ball playing defender and a ball carrying defender. Here Puyol acted as the ball carrying defender for Barcelona as he was seen bringing out the ball and carrying it to the next line.
Puyol naturally very good with the ball at his feet was seen playing long balls to players out wide to Henry and Eto'o. To do this, he would play it as the wingers would find themselves in space as the Real Madrid back four would become a bit narrow freeing out the wingers. In other cases, Puyol would carry the ball from the back to the centre as his channel would be cleared with Yaya Toure dropping back and Xavi and Gudjohnsen occupying the central defenders.
In the above image it can seen that the central channel was open for Puyol to run into, in many instances. This tactic by Pep Guardiola was an intentional one as Puyol was seen driving himself with the ball into the opponent's box in more than one instances and was asked to join as many offensive moves as possible.
Positional interchange between 4-3-3 and 3-4-3
One of the key principles that is learnt from Pep Guardiola is his principle, the Positional Play. He uses a 4-3-3 which transforms to a 2-3-5 and 3-2-5 with the two eights in the half spaces influencing the game. This was used in his time at Bayern Munich and now at Manchester City. However his principle idea in Barcelona was to make full use of the structural interchange between the 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 though the numbers don't matter a lot to him.
Often Eric Abidal was seen acting as the fourth midfielder providing more numbers in midfield. In other cases, Pep used the La Volpe principle which saw both the full backs Dani Alves and Abidal moving to the midfield giving more width. This was done as Yaya Toure fell in between both the centre backs who fanned out making it a back three in cases where Barcelona were on the ball and attacked.
Barcelona thrive in counters
Though Barcelona are known for playing out from the back, Pep's trump card was the counter attack. The possession in their own half often drew Real Madrid's attackers and this left gaping holes at the back. Barcelona were pretty quick in their counters and Messi's goal was just a classic example.
In this video below, we can see that once Real lose the ball, both the two forwards are on their bike as the diagonal ball is played to the free man.
https://footballbh.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/6.mp4
Arguably the first tough match faced by Pep Guardiola in his first season in his first stint as a manager in a big league would be to face the Champions and the Catalan was upto the challenge as his team were able to not just see off their arch rivals, but also were able to dominate them. Barcelona were very good in all departments in the 90 minutes and they finally were awarded the points thanks to late goals from Eto'o and Messi.
This result gave them a much needed boost to challenge for the title and win it after four years. Pep Guardiola once again proved how good a coach he could become in the future by winning the tactical battle against a Real Madrid side who were sent out to defend the game come away with a point.

Q: Displaying Unicode character from it's number using PHP Alright & I've a query. Is there any way to display Unicode symbol from it's unique number. For eg. I've the Integral symbol (∫) & It's Unicode number & HTML code respectively are 'U+222B' and '& #8747;' I can display the symbol by printing the HTML code like below.
echo "& #8747;"; //Displays Integral [∫] symbol if we remove space after Ampersand.

But with Unicode number, Can we achieve the same? because in one of my website characters are not encoding properly. It just displays Unicode numbers like below.
%u03A8 %u0D24 etc.

Please share your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

A: %u03A8 %u0D24 etc.

This looks like the output of JavaScript's window.escape() function. Change your JavaScript code to call window.encodeURIComponent() instead, and decode its output on the PHP side using urldecode() if necessary.
If corrupted strings are already stored in your database, you could try to clean them up using code similar to this:
$s = preg_replace_callback('/(?:%u[0-9A-F]{4})+/', function ($m) {
    return mb_convert_encoding(
        hex2bin(str_replace('%u', '', $m[0])), 'UTF-8', 'UTF-16BE');
}, $s );

A: Not sure if this will work with your customers, but worth a try:
echo mb_convert_encoding('&#' . intval(0x0D24) . ';', 'UTF-8', 'HTML-ENTITIES');

Beijing and London-based artist Helen Couchman talks about her latest work, "In Beijing" showing at Amilal until August 24.
Can you explain a bit about what fascinates you about land in Beijing, and land in general?
I came the Beijing for a couple of reasons. The main one being rapid changes to the country I infrequently heard stories about. It was extraordinary to hear tales about the dams, cities and industry being built and to have a tiny taste of the millions of lives this affected. I had been working on themes about land use, changing landscapes, the politics and economics evident in our use of land for many years in various places such as Cyprus, Armenia, America and England—China looked like a similarly inspiring place.
How did the idea for your current exhibition develop?
Sometimes some of my ideas burn a hole in my mind, reoccurring and developing until I have to try them out visually. This was one of those ideas. And it played into other thoughts I was having, connecting very well with work I've been making over the last couple of years.
Where were you taking the pictures?
I was taking pictures around the old historic Bell and Drum Towers Square. It is the latest area of the old city to be the focus of the developer's wrecking ball. The pretty hutong lanes on one side of my makeshift path, and the earth, blue fences and open spaces on the other proved of interest; it was a chance to see the earth under the place, to see something missing and to be reminded of what lanes are built upon. I returned a number of times last year to walk around and look at what is happening there.
Your feet appear in these photos. Can you discuss why?
I like the way they remind me of the scale of the work and that the work is all on the ground. They act as a reminder that everything not reflected here is maybe not much more than a foot from the ground. The feet also reminded me of what it feels like to stand on the ground and savor the textures and the dirt, as this work has a performative aspect, and I want the process to be evident.
What do you hope to express to viewers of this exhibition?
I want viewers to leave the exhibition discussing what they have seen and what they know about Earth and how we cover it, build on it and rely on it. I'd like to think that the combination of earth and sky (near and far) in the images reminds us of what we build in between and why.
Why mirrors? And where did you find them?
The mirrors were amongst a box of household odds and ends I was given when a friend relocated out of Beijing. They have been sitting on my desk some 18 months waiting for me to act upon them. I kept looking at them and making experiments with them until I finally could not put it off any longer.
Any plans to take this exhibition on the road?
I planned to exhibit the work in London this September but sadly that opportunity fell though as someone dear to the curator has taken very ill, and so understandably it is cancelled. But there are people who are curious about the show, so there may be another chance to show the series in the future.
I find the artist's strategy of placing her feet into the photograph to mark scale and "savor the textures" to be a tremendously compelling one. There seems to be a lot going on here. Is it possible to post more photos? Let's hope the curator's friend gets better soon so that this work can exhibit in London!

Old architecture and retro graphics blend in new ANI GIF exhibition
Malgosia Woznica is the latest artist to be featured in the online art gallery.
Fernando Alfonso III
Posted on May 14, 2013 Updated on Jun 1, 2021, 4:00 pm CDT
Here at the Daily Dot, we swap GIF images with each other every morning. Now we're looping you in. In the Morning GIF, we feature a popular—or just plain cool—GIF we found on Reddit, Canvas, or elsewhere on the Internet.
Imagine you discovered a stockpile of old floppy disks sitting next to a gray computer buried deep inside your closet. After dusting off the disks and plugging in the boxy machine, you push a floppy inside. The disk drive whirs to life as a slight hum emanates from the computer.
What appears on the screen are a series of pixelated GIF animations that are jarring, beautiful, and strangely familiar. They contain moving walls and shapes that resemble a forever changing home that belongs to Malgosia Woznica, the latest artist to have her work displayed on the online art gallery known as ANI GIF.
Woznica's exhibition is called ARXITEKTON I and II.
"I was inspired by architecture, browsing old architecture, interior and design magazines, architecture photo blogs, 80s furniture design and sculpture," Woznica told the Daily Dot. "Another major inspiration here was old school computer games. I wanted to mix together the two opposing styles I love: 8-bit graphics aesthetic with 3D design, and retro computer graphics with contemporary techniques and trends (like 'glitching')."
The result was a collection of colorful GIFs with moving squares which look like staircases, walls, and floors. As the shapes slide in and out, each GIF can resemble an architectural blueprint or completed home, depending on how you look at it. And like a blueprint, Woznica's GIFs were large and needed special handling, said Sarah Caluag, founder and co-curator of ANI GIF.
"Malgosia is the first to truly push the file-size boundary," Caluag said. "ARXITEKTON I and II combined are a whopping 139MB. This posed a challenge for us to exhibit the work while maintaining the integrity of the GIFs and allowing users to easily view them. Ultimately, the work itself (and the era it references) led to our solution: slow/fast connection buttons and a loading bar reminiscent of modem dialers."
ANI GIF was founded in 2009 as a place for artists to explore the artistic possibilities of the GIF. To date Caluag and co-curator Daniel Rehn have featured GIFs from eight artists who have pushed the 25-year-old file format to its limit, including Woznica.
"A lot of experimenting was involved and some effects just came out in the making," she added. "I also wanted the gifs to work with the background, having some of the objects coming out of it or 'installed' in it (like the windows). I really love how the gallery turned out."

Slate Falls Press: Phoebe Mouse Dress for my niece, Ruthie!
Phoebe Mouse Dress for my niece, Ruthie!
My older sister is a knitter, too. It has been really fun to share knitting tips and tricks over the 1500 miles that separate our homes and families. Her youngest child, little Ruthie, just turned one. And my sister, who insists that she is a beginning knitter, recalculated the Phoebe Mouse dress from Phoebe's Sweater and made it into a darling dress for Ruthie.
I asked her for instructions, and although they were vague, I think they would work!
"She is a 19 inch chest so I just increased the whole pattern by 50% and it knit itself ;)"
Hm, kind of like a recipe for a mud pie, isn't it? She used a worsted weight wool, and the results are darling! If any of you try it out, let me know how it goes!

Hilda the Vampire's role, officially, was Chief Decorator. As far as Minion #13 could determine, she had never been interviewed for this position, nor had she ever actually applied. She had been discovered one day behind a (not-yet-animate) paperwork stack, sucking all the ink out of a red ink cartridge. Given that Minions are not, in general, a particularly brave lot, when Hilda had suggested that she be put in charge of decorating, the Minions had simply said yes. To be fair, by all reports last year's decorations had been infinitely superior to the black crepe streamers and Kleenex ghosts of the years before.
However, to be completely fair, it was hardly as if decorating a great hall once a year for three days exactly took up all her time. The Minions would often encounter her lounging about the breakroom doing crossword puzzles or playing poker with herself. Once, Minion #13 had even busted in on her snorting lines of red Jello powder off the back of her hand.
What's more, Hilda took nights off. And left the compound. "Hunting" she said (she did usually return in the wee hours of the morning with her arms full of pixie sticks and RIT dye). Not that anyone had ever actually told the Minions they weren't to leave. They didn't have to. The first time Minion #13 had opened the door to the outside world after donning the cowl, the sudden lack of breathing among the other Minions in the hall was sharply audible. That was all…in front of him, the world loomed in all its brightly coloured glory. Behind him was dead silence. He turned slowly, afraid of what he would see. All the other Minions had simply frozen in place…lips pinched tightly together, their wide, wide eyes locked on him. Reaching behind himself, he found the door and gently pushed it closed. As one, the Minions took a deep breath and returned to their business. Minion #13 hadn't tried again.
Recently, Hilda's nighttime ventures had taken on a new and worrisome dimension. Shortly before she emerged from the basement each evening, strange music would begin to drift through the woods toward the compound. It was faint, but it reminded Minion #13 of something he had enjoyed as a child. A music box, perhaps. Or a Jack-In-The-Box. That was the thing about being a Minion…after a while, your memories of your human life tended to get a bit jangled up. In any event, soon after the music, Hilda would rise from her subterranean chambers, wearing a beatific smile (which did show her razor-sharp canines to good advantage), and drift out the door.
It was hard not to feel just a bit resentful.

After about a zillion kick-in-the-pants reminders from my friends, I've gotten around to creating my list of favorite fiction for young readers from 2009. Take note: this is not a list of the "best" fiction, or the most critically acclaimed, or the most award-winning. There are plenty of lists around the board where one can find such things already. My list is of personal favorites, and personal favorites only. What books do I wish I owned, or wish I had written? That's what these are.
I also have to say that if you are a parent, please please please review these books before handing them to your child. Everybody has different tastes and standards where kids' reading is concerned.
A Swedish Import So Lovely it Puts IKEA to Shame: A Faraway Island by Annika Thor. I've described this book before as "Anne of Green Gables – meets – Number the Stars," and I stand by that. This book — the first in a bestselling, beloved series from Sweden — is the story of sisters, two Jewish girls from Vienna who are evacuated by their parents on the eve of World War II to live with foster parents on a tiny island off the coast of Sweden. Times are tough, especially for older sister Stephie, who finds it difficult to make friends, worries for her left-behind parents, and whose foster parents are dead ringers for Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. But eventually, she comes to find home. Thor teases out lovely details — the traditions and festivals of the islanders are especially sweet — and is wise enough to make her characters uncomfortably complex: the villagers are kind but also bigoted; Stephie has a well-meaning schoolmate who gives her a picture of Hitler as means of lessening her homesickness (whoops). I can only hope that American publishers continue to bring the remaining books in this series to our shores.
Best Reissue: The Serial Garden: The Complete Armitage Family Stories by Joan Aiken. From the author of the beloved Wolves of Willoughby Chase comes a set of charmingly loopy fantasy stories, published in various volumes and periodicals and finally collected here. On her honeymoon, Mrs. Armitage makes a wish that she will "never be bored with happily ever after," and in the ensuing magical adventures, she never is: the family finds out that the kindergarten teacher is really a witch, what to do when the house has been comissioned by fussy wizards, a Christmas party in which all the children are turned into fish, how to deal with a ghostly governess, and much more. Aiken's style never takes itself very seriously (this is a family who, when a unicorn turns up in the garden on Tuesday morning, responds by blustering "but this usually only happens on Monday"), and the stories usually end with all problems resolved and the characters sitting down to tea. It makes for a glorious read aloud, too.
Great story list! I put a couple on hold already, especially the ones that had audiobook options – always good to listen to on a family roadtrip.
I had the "Lost Conspiracy" on hold already – I had seen it in B&N (where I spend entirely too many of my lunch breaks; the staff there must think I'm homeless or something). It sounded entirely very wierd, but cool.

Do British Muslims Want Shari'a?
by David J. Rusin
https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/28353/do-british-muslims-want-sharia
A new poll commissioned by the Centre for Social Cohesion paints a troubling portrait of the views held by Muslim students at British universities. Based on data from a dozen campuses with large Muslim enrollments, including Imperial College and Kings College London, the prevailing opinions about Shari'a law and secular society are as follows:
Two-fifths (40%) of Muslim students polled supported the introduction of Shari'a into British law for Muslims.
A third (33%) of Muslim students polled supported the introduction of a worldwide caliphate based on Shari'a law.
Over two-fifths (43%) of Muslim students polled said Islam was compatible with secularism.
Almost three in ten (28%) said they were incompatible and a further 29% were unsure.
These numbers are in line with other recent surveys from the UK. According to a study released in 2007 by the Policy Exchange think tank, 40% of Muslims between the ages of 16 and 24 would prefer to live under Shari'a law — over twice the percentage of their fellow believers aged 55 and above. A third of British Muslims expressed similar views to Channel 4 in 2006.
However, Irfan Al-Alawi and Stephen Schwartz of the Center for Islamic Pluralism argue that Shari'a is not as popular among Muslims as the aforementioned groups have claimed:
Soon after Archbishop Williams' gaffe the Centre for Islamic Pluralism conducted a field survey of attitudes towards Shari'a in the main Muslim communities in Britain. We visited Birmingham, Manchester, Bolton, Bradford, Sheffield, and Leicester, in addition to ongoing and extensive investigations in London's East End. Interviewees included imams, muftis (legal authorities), spiritual shaykhs, British Muslim barristers and solicitors, social workers, and rank-and-file mosque attendees. The full results will be published, with similar data from Germany, Holland, France, and Spain, next year.
Our survey was made easier by Muslim debate over the Williams affair. The overwhelming majority of our sample — we estimate a minimum of 65% — brusquely repudiated the imposition of Shari'a in Britain and even expressed resentment at the interference of individuals like the archbishop in British Muslim affairs.
Their complete study should be interesting and perhaps even controversial. However, one observation is already beyond dispute: when Archbishop Rowan Williams and Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips endorse the adoption of certain aspects of Shari'a law in civil matters, their words embolden radicals and marginalize moderates. And that does little to aid the nation that these two men are charged with serving.

For fan Lisa Sparks, the ordinary humor found in routine circumstances is a metaphor of sorts for life.
Seinfeld lasted for nine seasons and 180 episodes, many of them still as memorable today as when they first aired. In honor of Jerry Seinfeld returning to Wichita on Thursday, we asked local fans to share their favorite memories from some of the series' classic episodes.
Elaine gets George a job, and to repay her, he buys her a cashmere sweater, which is marked down considerably in price due to a minor flaw. Elaine spots it and becomes irate, returning it to him. On the new job, George becomes attracted to the cleaning lady and they have a tryst after drinking a bottle of Hennigan's scotch.
Kramer and his friend start a new clothing line with a puffy shirt "like the pirates used to wear." Jerry agrees to wear the shirt the next day on the "Today" show while he promotes a benefit for Goodwill. Bryant Gumbel can't stop laughing at his outfit.
George, Jerry and Elaine visit a new soup stand that Kramer has been raving about, but its owner has been dubbed the "Soup Nazi" because he obsesses about his customer's ordering procedures. Despite the strict manner of behavior he imposes on his guests, people line up for blocks to eat there.
A loaf of marbled rye bread and its appearance and disappearance is at the center of friction between George's and Susan's parents, who clash during their first meeting over dinner. George's parents surreptitiously take back the bread they brought as a dinner gift, exacerbating the conflict. In an attempt to impress Susan's parents, George goes to great lengths to replace it.
Elaine's preferred prophylactic will soon be taken off the market, prompting her to stockpile the endangered contraceptive sponge.
George and Susan's wedding arrives, but George doubts he can go through with getting married. When he's put in charge of the wedding invitations, he buys the cheapest ones. The glue turns out to be toxic and, in shocking twist, Susan dies as a result.
When Elaine breaks up with her boyfriend Kevin, they decide to just be friends. Elaine soon discovers that he's a more reliable pal that Jerry, though, and after meeting Kevin's friends, she realizes they are the exact opposite of her usual posse. Jerry dubs Kevin "Bizarro Jerry," an inverted and opposite mirror of himself.
Kramer discovers the set of the old "Merv Griffin Show" in a Dumpster and sets it up in his apartment, where he interviews anyone who stops by. Elaine's new co-worker annoys her. George's new girlfriend is upset after he kills a pigeon with his car, meanwhile Jerry's girlfriend won't let him touch her collection of classic toys.
In the controversial series finale, which spans two half-hour episodes, George and Jerry finally land a production deal with NBC and will soon relocate to California. Jerry is given a private jet and the foursome plans to have one last hurrah in Paris, but mishaps in air prevent them from arriving.
When they land in a small Massachusetts town for repairs, they witness a carjacking. Instead of helping out, they record a video of the crime while cracking jokes about the victim's size and walk away. They're arrested for violating the Good Samaritan law, which requires bystanders to assist in such situations. Eventually, they are each sentenced to one year in a state prison as punishment.
