St. Oswald of Worcester (Feast Day - February 29)
Oswald, of Danish parentage, was brought up by his uncle Oda, Archbishop of Canterbury, and was also related to Oskytel, later Archbishop of York. He was also related to the cniht Osulf, who received land while Oswald was bishop of Worcester. Oswald was instructed by a Frankish scholar Frithegod. He held the office of dean of Winchester, but he was sent by his uncle to France and entered the monastery of Fleury about 950, where he was ordained in 959. While at Fleury he met Osgar of Abingdon and Germanus of Winchester. The influence of Fleury was to be evident later in Oswald's life, when it was one of the inspirations for the Regularis Concordia, the English code of monastic conduct agreed to in 970.
Oswald returned to England in 958 at the behest of his uncle, but Oda died before Oswald returned. Lacking a patron, Oswald turned to Oskytel, recently named Archbishop of York. It is possible that Oswald along with Oskytel travelled to Rome for Oskytel's pallium, but this story is only contained in a 12th-century Ramsey Abbey chronicle, so it may not be authentic. Even if he did not travel to Rome, Oswald was active in ecclesiastical affairs at York until Dunstan obtained Oswald's appointment to the see, or bishopric, of Worcester. He was consecrated as Bishop of Worcester in 961. Soon after his consecration, he persuaded Germanus to come back to England and made him head of a small religious community near Westbury-on-Trym. After the establishment of this group about 962, Oswald grew worried that because the monastery was located on lands owned by the see of Worcester, his successors in the see might disrupt the community. He was offered the site of Ramsey Abbey in Huntingdonshire by Æthelwine, son of Æthelstan Half-King, and Oswald established a monastery there about 971 that attracted most of the members of the community at Westbury. This foundation at Ramsey went on to become Ramsey Abbey. Ramsey was Oswald's most famous foundation, with its church dedicated in 974. Later, Oswald invited Abbo of Fleury to come and teach at Ramsey. Oswald directed the affairs of Ramsey Abbey until his death, when the dean Eadnoth became the first abbot. He gave a magnificent Bible to Ramsey, which was important enough to merit a mention in Oswald's Life. Alongside the gift of the book, Oswald also contributed wall hangings and other textiles to the abbey.
Oswald supported Dunstan and Æthelwold, Bishop of Winchester, in their efforts to purify the Church from secularism. Aided by King Edgar, he took a prominent part in the revival of monastic discipline along the precepts of the Rule of Saint Benedict. His methods differed from Æthelwold's, who often violently ejected secular clergy from churches and replaced them with monks. Oswald also organised the estates of his see into administrative hundreds known as the Oswaldslow, which helped stabilise the ecclesiastical revenues. He constantly visited the monasteries he founded, and was long remembered as father of his people both as bishop and archbishop. It was Oswald who changed the cathedral chapter of Worcester from priests to monks, although the exact method that he employed is unclear. One tradition says that Oswald used a slow approach in building up a new church of monks next to the cathedral, allowing the cathedral's priests to continue performing services in the cathedral until the monastic foundation was strong enough to take over the cathedral. Another tradition claims that, instead, Oswald expelled any of the clergy in the cathedral that would not give up their wives and replaced them with monks immediately. Oswald also reformed Winchcombe Abbey, along with the monasteries of Westbury Priory, Pershore Abbey, and Evesham Abbey. It is also possible that monasteries were established in Gloucester and Deerhurst, but evidence is lacking for their exact foundation dates.
In 972 Oswald was made Archbishop of York and journeyed to Rome to receive a pallium from Pope John XIII. It is possible that he also traveled on Edgar's behalf to the court of the Emperor Otto I, and that these two journeys had been combined. He continued to hold the see of Worcester in addition to York. The holding of Worcester in addition to York became traditional for almost the next fifty years. Although it was uncanonical, it had many advantages for York in that it added a much richer diocese to their holdings, and one which was more peaceful as well. When Edgar died in 975, Ælfhere, Ealdorman of Mercia, broke up many monastic communities, some of which were Oswald's foundations. Ramsey, however, was not disturbed, probably due to the patronage of Æthelwine, Ealdorman of East Anglia, son of Æthelstan Half-King. Ælfhere was a supporter of Ethelred the Unready, the son of Edgar's third marriage, while Oswald supported the son of Edgar's first marriage, Edward the Martyr, in the dispute over who would succeed King Edgar.
In 985, Oswald invited Abbo of Fleury to come to Ramsey to help found the monastic school there. Abbo was at Ramsey from 985 to 987, where he taught computus, or the methods for calculating Easter. It was also often used in trying to calculate the date of the Last Judgment. A surviving manuscript gives a list compiled by Oswald, setting forth estates that had been taken from the diocese of York.
To nourish his own humility and charity, Oswald always invited twelve of the poor to dine with him each day during Lent (some say every day). These he served himself, and also washed and kissed their feet. Oswald died on 29 February 992 in the act of washing the feet of the poor at Worcester, as was his daily custom during Lent, and was buried in the Church of Saint Mary at Worcester. He promoted the education of the clergy and persuaded scholars to come from Fleury and teach in England. A Life of Oswald was written after his death, probably by Byrhtferth, a monk of Ramsey Abbey. Two manuscripts, a psalter (Harley MS 2904 in the British Library) and a pontifical (MS 100, part 2 from Sidney Sussex College of Cambridge University), probably belonged to Oswald and would have been used in his daily devotions.
Almost immediately after his death miracles were reported at his funeral and at his tomb. His remains were translated to a different burial spot in the cathedral ten years after his death. His feast day is celebrated on 29 February.
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
O glorious Oswald, thou rule of faith and model of meekness, splendour of Worcester and luminary of York, like a tree in the midst of paradise didst thou bear the fruit of the virtues for thy Lord, and therewith thou enlightenest all who cherish thine honoured memory and ever cry out to thee in prayer: Intercede, O holy bishop, that our souls may be saved.

The Mangrove Tree is equally suitable to pleasure readers as to students who have environmental or world geography interest. The text has two layers, the left hand page reads like a picture book and the right hand page includes more background information. Although Dr. Sato brought the project to Africa, this book is really about people who plant and care for the mangrove trees in Hargigo, Eritrea.
The collages are amazing; they portray the landscape and lifestyle of this rural area. This is a great addition for collections with specific picture non-fiction sections. It may however get lost in juvenile non-fiction areas. Couple with Planting the Trees of Kenya by Claire A. Nivola for teachers doing environmental or African units.

Great job mate, I am impressed by your work. Actually drawing with the pencil is not the hard but the finishing with the pencil color and make it as a perfect art is really hard work and required lots of accuracy there.

The Gurdjieff Journal—Fourth Way perspectives—Russian Roots in "All and Everything"
The Russian ingredient in Gurdjieff's All and Everything is quite strong. Observations about the use of Russian vocabulary, language patterns, and idioms may bring more light to understanding Gurdjieff's thought. In this article I wish to share the impressions and language observations of a native Russian speaker, from which other readers may, in the hope of Gurdjieff, "profit."
Although his father was Greek, the name 'Gurdjieff' does not sound Greek. The Russian ending 'ev/ov' (transliterated in French as 'eff/off') has a meaning of 'belonging to.' For example, the last name 'Petrov' means 'Peter's' or 'son of Peter.' This ending russifies the family names of people inhabiting the Caucasus: that incredible place where Mr. Gurdjieff was born.
Tens-if not hundreds-of ancient ethnic groups with a mixture of beliefs and cultures populate the Caucasus, sparkling with the beauty of many shades and flavors like the famous Georgian wine, Gurdjaani, named for the village in Georgia where the grapes grow. The Muslims around Georgia call the Georgian people gurdjis. So according to his last name, Mr. Gurdjieff is a George from Georgia.
To Indian (Hindi) ears the name 'Gurdjiev' sounds like 'Guru-Deev,' two words which mean 'close to God' and 'deity.' A Hindi speaker might even ask (this actually happened), "Is Gurdjiev a real or a constructed name?" We do not know how Mr. Gurdjieff's father acquired his last name, but having acquired it relatively far from Georgia and from Greece, the 'Gurdjieff' name symbolizes a caucus of powerful spiritual sources: Christianity, Islam, and teachings even more ancient.
And amidst these antiquities, the influx of a younger civilization: Russia. The mutual influence of the cultures of the Caucasus and Central Asia and Russian culture is cherished by both sides (we are not talking about political grievances) and produces a peculiar and charming hybrid. A great many of the remarkable people that Mr. Gurdjieff met were Russians. Russian culture is an important ingredient in his spiritual make-up and the language he uses in his writings.
Gurdjieff's name presents him as a Russian not by ethnicity, but nationality: Georgii Ivanovich, a given name and patronymic (the father's name) which is not a middle name. Every person in Russia has a patronymic as a part of their formal name which reflects the deeply patriarchal Russian culture. 'Georgii' is pronounced as 'ghe-orghii' and 'Ivanovich' means that Gurdjieff's father's name corresponded to Russian 'Ivan' (John).
Even if a native speaker of Russian didn't know that the text originally was written in Russian, he would feel that something-maybe the way of describing the thinking process and alluding to oneself-arouses associations, a familiar way of talking and using language. Gurdjieff expresses himself in a colloquial manner as Georgians or Armenians would talk in Russian using phrases, word combinations, and a tone familiar to Russian ears.
Interestingly, the translation of Gurdjieff's writing, especially All and Everything, closely follows colloquial figures of speech, adding a special tone to the text. A regular 'businesslike' literary translator would render this material differently, more 'professionally,' providing English idiomatic equivalents to the Russian idioms rather than translating them literally.

I love Tacos. But I never finish all my delicious taco meat. So I have had to come up with some creative ways to use it all up (you can only have nachos so many times). One of those ways that is probably my favourite is Stuffed Baked Potatoes. Seriously, I have now taken to making taco meat just to make these delicious things. They are easy and simple to make.
Start by baking your baked potatoes as normal. Once they are fully cooked, slice in half and carefully remove the middle of the potatoes.
Mash potatoes as usual. I like to add milk and butter to mine. Then add your taco meat (if you are using left over meat I suggest preheating it first).
Re-stuff potatoes. Do not be afraid to over stuff them.
Place cheese on top of potatoes and place back in the over until cheese is just melted.
Remove from oven and serve with taco toppings. I usually also eat these with a side salad.


Readily dissolves in water making it ideal for correcting Nitrogen deficiencies in crops, turf, trees, shrubs and ornamentals.
Applied as a foliar spray or to the soil through all types of irrigation systems, injectors and hydraulic sprayers.
Organic source for non-leachable Nitrogen with no Chloride or Sodium which can build up to toxic levels in soils.
Nutrient rich in 18 different Amino Acids, with no phytotoxic effects and is compatible with many different organic materials.
A perfect soil conditioner specially in Calcareous and poor soils.
Natural polymer (amino acids and peptides) modified by chemical hydrolysis. Hydrolyzed protein based on hair and/or feathers, filtered, concentrated and spray dried. Water-soluble powder.

Should Blacks prepare for blow back?
October 6, 2013 Louie Bee
With the recent news of the the road rage Hollywood Stuntz Biker Gang vs the SUV driver Alexian Lien in NYC last week. We are starting to see many people on the internet not showing any compassion for the biker Edwin Mieses Jr. who might not be able to walk anymore due to his involvement in the terrorizing of Alexian Lien .and his family. According to a online poll as of Saturday, October 5th 2013 at 10:00pm Eastern 89% of people who took the poll said Alexian Lien shouldn't be charged, he was being threatened.
Dozens of bikers rode alongside a black Range Rover on Manhattan's West Side Highway last weekend until a biker slowed down and the vehicles bumped, police said. Video captured at the scene shows the SUV surrounded by helmeted riders.
In the video, one rider approaches the vehicle and peers into the driver's side window. Police said others tried to damage the SUV before the driver, Alexian Lien, took off and plowed over Mieses. The bikers then chased after Lien and smashed his car window with their helmets, then pulled him from the SUV and beat him to the point where he required stitches.
Lien's wife, Rosalyn Ng, has said that her family's sympathies go out to Mieses, but that they had to flee a dangerous situation. She said her husband was trying to protect her and their 2-year-old child, who was also in the car at the time.
Original Video:
I find it hilarious that the SUV driver is Asian and (aside from obvious racial joke about Asian drivers) that at first they started to claim racism. Like just because Blacks where slaves hundreds of years ago that gives Blacks the right to terrorize everyone and if anyone fights back it is racism.
This is Opie and Anthony's take on the story:
They made the point that the only reason anyone is supporting the biker gang is because they are black. And they were intimidating people. What should a man do if hitzs family is threatened.
One of my favorite YouTuber basically said that if it was him he would have shot at them if the have a gun.
Watch that here:
Web Pro News writes that the incident took place during the unauthorized Hollywood Stuntz rally. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly described that the event was supposed to take place in Times Square on Sunday. However, the bikers were not granted a permit to keep it, due to other altercations in past years. "They drove down Broadway [with] over 1,000 motorcycles, dirt bikes, quads. […] So there was an intention to do that again this year, but because of [police] checkpoints and enforcement in the outer boroughs, they weren't able to make it," Kelly says. ray kelly 911 calls hollywood stuntz
The Epoch Times reported:
At a press conference held at Mamajuana Café in Inwood on Oct. 3 state Sen. Adriano Espaillat released footage shot by a diner at the café on Sept. 30. The footage shows members of Hollywood Stuntz gathered outside a gas station, riding on the sidewalks, and parked on the pavement with exhaust fumes and engine noise filling the air. "They run lights, they go on the sidewalks, they come up the opposite side of the street, they block traffic, stop traffic, they block the entire highway"" Espaillat said. Members of the gang also committed acts of violence while in Inwood, Espaillat said, including attacking a car. Dispatchers for 911 received more than 200 calls about the biker gang across the city on Sunday.
The question is now. Has the fear of being labeled a racist for every little thing gone away. Has it now begun that people are tired of blacks acting like bullies and are now defending themselves. As evidence by the Trayvon Martin verdict? The fact that it was an Asian who it will be safe to say is not a descendant of white southern plantation slave owners. What revenge story can the black community concoct for this.
Is this the beginning of people fighting back and will this force a real discussion of race relations in this country and stop allowing ghetto ratchetness to continue no matter the skin color? I for one hope so.

Early Saturday morning, sunlight peaked over Miller Bell Tower and indiscriminately illuminated the grounds. In the daybreak, a sizeable gathering of all ages, creeds and walks of life bustled near Miller Park, the Institution's original meeting place. They had all assembled for a single purpose: to ring in another Chautauquan milestone with a gallop around the grounds. Nearly 900 men, women and children gathered in front of Sports Club to celebrate Chautauqua's 140th birthday with the Old First Night Run/Walk.
Runners warm up before the race. Registered participants included 247 men and 251 women who ran the 2.7-mile course; 79 of them were under the age of 13, while 20 of them were older than 70 years old. The Old First Night race is not exclusive to sprinters. Nearly 345 Chautauquans walked the perimeter of the grounds, showing their support for their fellow Chautauquans and the Institution's commitment to vibrant, engaging tradition.
Runners prepare to start the race. "One thing that strikes me about Chautauqua is that most people take the ego off the table," said Peggy Ulasewicz, who has organized the race for 26 years. "It doesn't matter what job they have or where they come from. They just enjoy being with people in a beautiful environment and wish everyone the best. The race really reflects that."
Participants take off from the starting line. Over the steep hills and long miles, Chautauquans came together to encourage, assist and motivate one another, holding signs, offering water and cheering.
Rhys Burgett, 18, from Severna Park, Maryland, broke the tape with a winning net time of 14:45, just 0.05 seconds faster than last year's winner. Although he was first introduced to Chautauqua this year, he hopes to share in the tradition for years to come.
"This was a spectacular experience," he said. "I would love to come back again and again."
With the finish line in sight, everyone gave everything he or she had. And once the race concluded, they call came together to rejoice in their mutual achievement.
"I've never seen so much motivation in one community," Burgett said. "Chautauqua is a special place."

Interested in serving on a committee? Committee participation can offer many rewarding opportunites for students. The process is explained below.
Can a student join a committee?
Yes, any student who is a member of the City Bar is eligible to apply for a committee. If you are not yet a City Bar member, you may join here. Most City Bar committees are encouraged to appoint up to three Student Members to the committee.
Being part of a committee can give you great experience while opening up a number of career doors. Being on a committee is a great networking opportunity as well as an introduction to an area of law. As a committee member, you may be involved in drafting reports, research and program planning. These are all great experiences as you work towards your career development goals.
What is involved with being on a City Bar committee?
Students are appointed for one year and are expected to attend monthly meetings September to June. Student members are non-voting members but the committees make an effort to include Law Student Members in the work of the committee. Though the role of a student member may vary from committee to committee, students are often asked to assist with research, help plan programs and draft reports and reach out to potential speakers, and engage in the committee's public service activities.
Are there some committees that are "more open" for students than others?
Because membership on a committee is limited, some committees are very competitive but the majority of committees have openings. Consider choosing more than one committee to apply to; if the first committee you select is full, we will do our best to place you on another. Please keep in mind that the broader your scope of committee interest, the more likely you will be placed on a committee that is both personally and professionally rewarding.
What are the chairs looking for when selecting a student?
Committee chairs are looking for Student Members who are engaged and enthusiastic, and will commit to attending the meetings and working on committee projects.
How do I apply to be on a committee?
Committee Preferences may be made online here. Additionally, you may contact the committee chair directly to express your interest in participating on the committee.
When is the best time to apply for a committee?
In March, the City Bar invites members to apply for committee service for the term beginning in September. Student Members are also encouraged to apply in late summer/early fall before the first committee meeting in September.
When can I expect to hear if I was appointed?
If you have been appointed to a committee you will most likely hear from us by mid-summer for a term beginning in September. If you have not heard from us please note the committee chairs may keep your resume on file and consider you at a later time.
I'm a 3L student. If I join a committee now, can I automatically stay on after I graduate?
No. You would need to reapply, since you would no longer be a considered a student member and would now be considered a voting member of the committee.
I'm an LLM student. Am I eligible to apply to a committee?
Yes. Graduate student members can apply and serve as student members on a committee.
Is there an additional fee associated with being a student member on a committee?
Though most committees collect dues the City Bar recommends to Committee Chairs that Student Members be exempt from such dues to the extent practical.

Clinton's keeping his distance
By Susan Falvella-Garraty
and Ray O'Hanlon
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Clinton will likely urge compromise, but the White House is this week dampening suggestions that the president will openly move to break the peace process impasse when leaders of eight Northern Ireland parties turn up in Washington next week to receive awards.
Three years since Clinton became the first U.S. president to visit Northern Ireland, there are those who would like to see Clinton inject himself, and the prestige of his office, into the troubled peace process once again.
But the White House is clearly wary and was this week downplaying even the need for such intervention.
"The key right now is that no one is dying on the streets," said a White House official who is directly working on Washington's input in the peace process.
"There are those who want to only point out the downside, but it would be unlikely that the president would become involved in the level of detail that some have asked for," said the official.
U.S. peace broker George Mitchell did visit Ireland, North and South, in recent days, meeting with several leaders, including Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.
Sinn FTin's leader, Gerry Adams, appealed for Mitchell to return to a more intimate role in helping the parties surmount the hurdles posed by disagreement over the structuring of North-South bodies, specifically their scope and number, and the thorny issue of arms decommissioning.
Mitchell declined the invitation. Sinn FTin has also indicated that it would like to see direct intervention by President Clinton when members of the eight parties come to Washington on Dec. 7 and 8 to jointly receive — along with Clinton himself — this year's Averell Harriman Democracy Award.
For Sinn FTin, the Washington event presents a timely opportunity for the kind of direct U.S. action it desires.
"It was America that broke the logjam before," Sinn FTin's U.S. representative, Rita O'Hare, told the Echo. "They could help in solving this serious stall in the way the parties are supposed to operate according to the [Good Friday] agreement."
Sinn FTin says, rightly, that IRA weapons decommissioning only has to begin before the May 2000 deadline outlined in the Stormont accord. Unionists, led by UUP leader and Assembly First Minister-designate David Trimble, want the decommissioning process to begin now.
With regard to cross-border bodies, O'Hare warned that any optimism with regard to the emergence of agreed bodies was premature.
"We don't have issues on the all-Ireland dimension set. The White House can turn the international spotlight on to move that issue, and the formation of the [Assembly] executive, forward," she said.
One aspect of the argument over the proposed bodies concerns numbers. The Irish government, and the North's republicans and nationalists, favor 10 bodies. Unionists want seven. Unionists also favor a more limited role for the bodies once they are set up.
Meanwhile, there has been no Irish government request for the president to get directly involved when the party leaders arrive in Washington, an Irish diplomatic spokesman said.
The Irish government would appear to be content for now with the White House monitoring the situation while throwing in an occasional suggestion.
However, if work on the North-South institutions seriously founders in the next few days, it is possible that the Irish government will look to Washington for more direct assistance.
"The poker game could move if things go badly," the Irish official said.
The Harriman awards, meanwhile, are being presented to Clinton and the North leaders by the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs. The group has been involved with reconciliation efforts in Northern Ireland since the 1980s and has established a particularly close relationship with the SDLP.
The late William Averell Harriman, after whom the award is named, was, at various times, U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union, U.S. secretary of commerce and governor of New York.

Pie: such an integral piece of American culture that has inspired ideas of prosperity and quite a few idioms. Ironically, though, pie has been around for a lot longer than the United States, dating back all the way to Ancient Egyptians and Greeks, who made them not for their delicious taste but for their reliability. However, we aren't talking about that kind of pie today.
Where does mathematical pi come from? This constant is the relation between the diameter and circumference of a circle, first calculated by the Ancient Greek mathematician, Archimedes.
Detail, Melchor Pérez Holguín, Virgin of the Rosary, Late 17th-Early 18th century, Dallas Museum of Art, gift of Mary de la Garza-Hanna and Virginia de la Garza and an anonymous donor.
For thousands of years, the simple circle has inspired art and philosophy from all over the world. In religious art–from Buddha to Jesus to Apollo–circles as halos adorned the heads of the divine and sacred. On the other hand, circles and other geometric shapes became prominent in early Islamic art because of an opposition to creating figures, since they could be construed as idolatrous. These circles became part of exquisite Islamic architecture, like in the immense arches, domes, and designs of the Hagia Sophia.
Detail, Folio of a Qur'an, 1409 AD, The Keir Collection of Islamic Art on loan to the Dallas Museum of Art.
There is one place in which our old pal pi comes to play in the world of math and circles–the beloved radian. These are often addressed in pre-calculus and paired with the similarly adored unit circle. These concepts are often rushed with little explanation. Why can't the world be fine with degrees? Don't they just serve the same purpose as radians?
We have a circle on the xy-plane with some angle that can be seen starting from the positive x-axis to the red line. To see this concept, we can find the arclength that is highlighted by referring to our well-known equation to find the circumference (circumference = 2πr).
Let us take the circle as the unit circle and angle as π/2. From inspection and prior knowledge, we see that the arclength is ¼ of the entire circumference. In order to find this measure, we would calculate a fourth of the circumference (so arclength = ¼ circumference = ¼ 2πr = πr/2). We see that the arclength = πr/2 with a radius of 1 (due to the unit circle) and we see that – in this case – an angle of π/2 has an arclength of π/2.
This works even without the unit circle! If our radius is 2, 5, or 1,000! Knowing that the arclength of this angle is πr/2 means that we know that it is π, 5π/2, and 500π respectively.
Here's a familiar activity: to show pi in the real world, you can take any circular object, string, ruler, and scissors. Take your string, wrap it around your item once, and cut it so that both ends tightly meet. Measure your string and the diameter. Using our handy dandy formula, the circumference = 2pi r = pi diameter. With what we have, pi should be equivalent to circumference / diameter. Take your measures and see just how close to pi you can get!
Just a tip: make sure your string doesn't have much give as when using it to measure, its stretch will distort your calculations.
A way to see the wonderful radian–using the same materials as before–is to measure your object's radius and cut an equal length of string. See how many times this length will fit along the circumference. You should find that 2π – or 6.283 – pieces will cover it just nicely.
Personally, though, we think everyone should celebrate the journey of the circle with a generous slice (or two) of your favorite pie and a trip down to the DMA.

A Literature review of fuel stability studies with a particular emphasis on shale oil
A. Zuhdan Fathoni, B. D. Batts*
This paper reviews the research that has been reported up to the end of 1991 on the stability of liquid fuels with a particular emphasis on shale oils. The problem of shale oil instability is an important consideration in the development of shale oil as an alternative fuel source. Instability effects on sediment, peroxide, color, and surface deposit formation are reviewed. The nature of the degradation products, the mechanisms by which they are formed, the specific compounds responsible for instability, and their control and prevention are discussed. In addition, a comparison of the stability of shale oils with other fuels is made.

StaffThursday, December 08, 2016
Continuing with our "Best Of" 2016 game awards (we kicked off with Best Casual Game), we're now taking a look at the best racing games on PlayStation 4 that was released this year.
While the genre isn't as packed like in previous years, the racing genre still had its fair share of gems. Fortunately for us, there's still a few games that made us happy to go around in laps. Just a disclaimer: the nominees and winners are based on scores and are picked by the staff (not just the highest review score).
Best of 2016 Awards - Best PS4 Racing Game 2016
With Gran Turismo Sport coming out next year, it's going to be a heck of a tougher race (pun intended) to win. Let's hope the usual suspects like Need for Speed, etc. all race out in 2017 as well. What was your favorite racing game this year? And did we miss anything?
Don't forget to check back all throughout the month for our other "Best Of" picks of the year! Be sure to follow PlayStation LifeStyle on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Instagram and YouTube for the latest in PlayStation coverage.

Tauranga Art Gallery Toi Tauranga, in partnership with the Venetta Miles Trust, is delighted to announce the winners of the Miles Art Award 2022. The Miles Art Award is the Bay of Plenty's premier art prize, with a cash prize of $10,000 for the Supreme Award.
This year, due to the current Omicron outbreak and our concerns for the health of our community, the Award was announced via Facebook Live on Thursday 3 February, 6pm. Livestreaming the Award gave the artists, their friends and whanau the opportunity to celebrate safely while abiding by Covid-19 red traffic light restrictions.
The virtual presentation took place in the Gallery's upstairs exhibition space, with guest judge, Wellington-based curator and writer Aaron Lister in attendance. In addition to announcing the recipient of the Supreme Award and four other category winners, Lister and Tauranga Art Gallery Director Stephen Cleland conducted a 'virtual tour' of the exhibition, briefly discussing the high-calibre artworks on display and the merits of the prize-winning artworks.
Aaron Lister, described the works selected as "an embodiment of the region's creative powers. The exhibition includes a diverse range of media and address wide ranging questions, issues and histories. There are early career, mid career and established artists all making work very much grounded right here,
right now. The exhibition showcases individual artists, but there's also a real sense of a powerful collective energy at play."
The Supreme Award went to Tauranga-based artist Hannah Valentine for her work Anytime (make it happen), 2021.
Judge Aaron Lister says "Anytime (make it happen) is an inticing sculptural proposition offered to the viewer and the Gallery. Echoing the aesthetics of strength training equipment, Valentine's subtle wall-based sculptures feel like they might be more at home in a gym than a gallery, that they should be taken off the wall and activated in ways that go beyond a standard art experience. There's a definite play on our cultural obsession with wellness and body sculpting—perhaps at the cost of other things.
From 70 submissions to this year's Miles Art Awards, 34 finalists were selected for the Prize exhibition. Open to artists residing in the larger Bay of Plenty region, the finalists' works will be on display through May 2022, with the public also being able to have their say by voting for the Bay of Plenty Times People's Choice Award recipient throughout the run of the show.
The art works submitted have not been exhibited previously in a public exhibition.
Miles Art Award Supreme Winner
Hannah Valentine for Anytime (make it happen), 2021, cast bronze, beal cord, tubular webbing
The Incubator Creative Hub Emerging Artist Award
Justine Munn for Whakapapa, 2021, acrylic and gouache on canvas
The Ethel MacMillan Award
Carolynn Pulefale-Tepou for Echoes, 2021, mixed media
The Tauranga City Council Award Jaime Jenkins for Bell Tower (blue), 2020, stoneware ceramic sculpture
The Friends of the Tauranga Art Gallery Award
