In a java class, I have two log.info.
I work with sql sentences. I want to write the sentences sql in a file and in the console. The two log.info and the sentences sql are written in the file.
How can I write the log.info and the sentences sql in console also?

A: Have you tried changing Layout to a simple one ?
#define the layout
log4j.appender.CONSOLA.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CONSOLA.layout.ConversionPattern = %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%t] [%c] [%M] [%l] - %m%n

If that works, probably something with your conversion pattern - es.ministerio.comunes.log4j.MinisterioLayout

I began collaborating with NorCal Public Media as a segment producer for their series, "Bay Area Bountiful," following environmental stories in the San Francisco Bay Area. I produced and edited this segment about the youth leaders of Literacy for Environmental Justice, working to make the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood of San Francisco greener, cleaner and more beautiful. Enjoy!
I have been pursuing a certificate in Sustainability with a focus on climate change at City College of San Francisco for the last two years. I've had to write a lot of term papers, and I realized some of my research and findings could be useful to more than just me and my professor. So I'll be posting some interesting papers here and sharing them for San Franciscans and urbanites to read. It's helpful to think about our shared ecosystem and how climate change and an increased human population affects all habitants. Here's my latest paper on birds in San Francisco. Enjoy and let me know what you think. Feel free to share!
I've had the opportunity to collaborate on simple call to action videos for non-profit clients, usually with very limited budgets. When working with bootstrapped clients, my advice is to always keep it simple, and PLAN AHEAD. The more planning the client can do for an upcoming production, the fewer hours spent in post-production. The more hours save, the lower the overall cost. Here are some recent examples of simple call-to-action videos created for non-profit clients.
As a dedicated bicycle advocate, I'm going of my comfort zone to talk about electric cars. I had an opportunity recently to collaborate with Golden Gate Electric Vehicle Association to produce a webinar for Interfaith Power and Light about the environmental, ethical and financial benefits of ditching your old internal combustion engine vehicle for a sleek, modern EV. As a student of climate change, I took advantage of this opportunity to offer some basic climate facts that I think every human on this planet should know. I also offer info on how electric vehicles can save you lots of MONEY. You'll also find a bit of spiritual inspiration in this webinar. I hope you enjoy it. Now I'm not saying you should ditch your bicycle for an EV, but if you are one of those people who absolutely NEEDS a car, then it's time to do the right thing for the planet and future generations and be an EV evangelist!
My interview with Corky Quirk about her continued work rescuing bats and educating people about their environmental, social and financial benefits was published in the magazine Wild Hope! You can order one online here. Or you can download the pdf below.
This year, I've taken a deeper dive into my meaning of life. For years, I have been a bike advocate. From my blog Velo Vogue, to my film series Velo Visionaries, I have participated in the conversation about how bicycles make our lives better, and why we need safer streets. My commitment to the bicycle way of life led the way to going back to school to study sustainability and climate change. I feel even more committed to promoting riding bicycles, especially among women, as a serious solution to our climate crisis. Lately, my independent work has led me to collaborate on some great projects relative to my own personal mission. First up is Human Streets, founded by journalist Bryan Goebel. I collaborated with photographer Adrienne Johnson to create a new series, Women Just Want To Be Safe.
Women Just Wanna Be Safe profiles women cyclists in San Francisco. We will interview and photograph women from all districts and population groups in San Francisco to find out why they ride a bike, or why they don't. We will explain why some women give up cycling and reveal the ways in which San Francisco government has failed time and again to make streets safe for women. We'll dive deep into women's stories, and show why they make the transportation choices that they do, to bike or not. We'll feature all types of women: from mothers to daughters, from tech workers to retirees, from women warriors to the wounded. Stay tuned for a new episode in December.
Next up, I created a video for People Protected Bike Lanes featuring an event they organized on the Embarcadero Bike Lane.
The video was made possible by Spin Bikeshare. Looking forward to making streets safer for cyclists, and raising awareness about how bike infrastructure can help solve climate change.
I went a little bit out of my element this past weekend and attended a dance theater workshop with one of San Francisco's most passionate artists, choreographer and artistic director Joe Goode. I've seen a few of Joe's performances over the years – most recently "Poetics of Space," which was more of an interactive experience than a performance. Audience members witnessed and participated in outpourings of passion in small spaces with the performers, sometimes as intimate as one-on-one exchanges. For me, the result was transformative. At a time when I've been so frustrated with the rapid change that has been happening in my city, when I attended this performance, I felt that I reconnected with the heart of San Francisco, right in the same location where it always has been, in that one block of Alabama Street between 17th and Mariposa – a community filled with artist studios, experimental theater and dance that has inspired me for decades. It's all still there. Still funky and quirky. Still surprising and inspiring. Still surviving and thriving against the odds.
So when I saw that Joe Goode was offering a workshop called "Start Simple" that was open to everyone, not just dancers or performers, I knew that I needed to go. I needed to heal my heart and soul through a weekend of practicing what Joe calls felt experience and embodied sound.
As a filmmaker, my art is mostly removed from any physical expression, which is probably why I need to balance myself out by practicing dance and yoga in my personal time. When I watch the Joe Goode performers, I'm inspired by how passionate their movement is, and how pure their verbal expression. The slightest touch carries the most profound emotion, and everyday words become unforgettable.
During the fourteen hours we spent during the Start Simple workshop with Joe and one of his dancers Marit Brook-Kothlow, we explored how to create powerful collisions between our words and our movements, how to use our voices in a lyrical way, and how to draw inspiration from our surroundings and add meaning to it. The workshop certainly pushed my boundaries because I am used to hiding in a dark room full of people while my art is projected on a wall. In the edit room, I weave together other people's faces and voices to tell a story, but I'm too afraid to be the one in the spotlight. The truth is – I am petrified of pouring out my soul in front of a group of people. I don't ever want to feel that vulnerable.
I learned a few things this weekend about how to overcome that fear. First, I found it easier to perform with a partner. Realizing that my partner needed me in order to tell his story, I knew I had to be there for him. I also really enjoyed combining movement with spoken word; the release of physical energy relieved my nerves while I told my story.
I learned from Marit that proximity to my audience and making direct eye contact with a few people removes the separation from audience and performers. The performer invites the spectator into a direct conversation, which doesn't seem artificial at all, and much more like the way we normally communicate with everyone we meet in our every day lives. We are no longer on stage and being judged. Art is no longer out there and something that they do, but something we embody and feel.
Joe led us through some writing exercises that would help us shape our stories. Although I felt a little guilty over the subjects he asked us to write about (people in our lives), I realized later that I can parlay this technique into whatever I write, sing, dance or make films about. For example, in personifying the Earth, I dive deep into my relationship with her. What would she say are my greatest misgivings? If I could change one thing about her, what would it be? And how do I communicate this story to others? How do invite people to enter that space with me? Such techniques for dance and theatrical expression can be translated into film of any genre about any subject. And I look forward to doing more of that.
The bottom line is this: I was drawn to the workshop because I have been feeling frustrated. I've been angry about what is happening in San Francisco and I wanted to participate in the City that I cherish. I dove into the creative process of Joe Goode, and the repercussions of this weekend will continue to ripple throughout my life and work. I'm grateful to live in a city where I can explore new pathways into the soul and touch the creative energies of great artistic shepherds.
Thank you Joe and Marit for an incredibly mind-body-soul expanding weekend right here at home.
For the Catalyst Workshop, we had to present what's called a Pecha Kucha, a short presentation about a particular subject. For most of us, it was our first time doing something like this, so the Catalyst leaders gave us some suggestions. I chose to talk about storytelling, my story and how it relates to ocean conservation. Contrary to what you might think, I prefer to hide behind the scenes instead of being a public speaker. So after scripting and presenting, I thought I might share my Pecha Kucha with all of you. Enjoy!
What's my story? I am a spiritual being here on earth having a human experience. My story began right here, and since then, I've made 44 revolutions around the Sun and I still call 37 degrees North, 122 degrees West home.
This photo I call The Sun, the Earth, the Moon and the Stars. I took it in Golden Gate Park one morning. Capturing small moments like this makes me love the planet we live on more and more.
And what we love, we must protect! Because I am a filmmaker, I feel deeply that my films must represent my passions and worldview and that we must practice what we preach.
I chose filmmaking because I wanted to express my passions through sight, sound, color and rhythm. But even though I love my creative endeavors, I often have to work on projects that don't match my value system.
I understand that we humans are part of nature and we need to forge a new relationship with it. And I also understand that we need to reach new audiences in a way that catalyzes systemic and behavioral change. But how do we reach new audiences? How do we engage them in a new story about our relationship with nature?
The earth's surface is 71% water and the oceans hold 96.5% of that water. But water also exists in the air, in lakes, rivers, glaciers and in the soil. Even our bodies are 60% water. Our brain and heart are 73% water. Our lungs are 83% water. Our skin 64%.
So we humans are water! We evolved out of the oceans. This is Yemenja, the goddess of the sea, portrayed here in human form, or mermaid form. Let's say she is the hero of our new story. If she is the hero, is humanity the villain?
Or maybe Yemenja is like Yoda, like a bodhisattva whispering to us as we gaze at the seashore, telling us what we already know. That we are all connected, and that we humans have a certain responsibility to protect the planet we call home and the other species we share it with.
In order to protect the earth, we need to change. If we are to envision the complete shift that the human race needs to make to ensure a livable planet for future generations of all species, what does that shift look like? Where are we headed? What's in store for us? What's at stake?
Because I'm only one human, I don't know what the conclusion of this story is. Maybe it's a never ending story. Just like the earth, the story is always evolving. And what we think might be the end is just a new beginning.
I just got back from New Hampshire where I attended the inaugural Conservation Media Group Catalyst Workshop. It's a lot to process, and I have a feeling that I'll continue to reap the benefits over the course of the next few weeks, months, etc. I can say that my outlook has shifted. I think there are enough caring people in the world to make a difference. We just have to accept the responsibility to do it, and than accept that we must work together. More later. But I'll leave you with this photo/wise quote from the retreat center for your own inspiration.

Coso taurino mexicano que se ubicaba en Querétaro, Qro., en la actual Avenida Ignacio Zaragoza, entre la Calle Colón e Ignacio Allende sur.

Historia

Fue construida durante el Porfiriato en el marco de las disposiciones para conmemorar los cuatrocientos años del descubrimiento de América, tal como se realizaron obras y monumentos en otros estados y en la propia capital del país.

Se eligió como ubicación la antigua Calle de la Tauromaquia, hoy Avenida Ignacio Zaragoza. A la plaza de toros la llamarían Colón, al igual que a la Calle del Rastro, donde se construyó también un monumento al descubridor de América. Así se integrarían las tres construcciones en un conjunto, para señalar la significativa fecha del 12 de octubre, Día de la Raza.

Fue inaugurada el 27 de noviembre de 1898 con la toma de alternativa del torero sevillano Manuel Calleja "Colorín" .

En 1962 el gobernador Manuel González de Cosío ordenó el derrumbe de esta histórica plaza, terminando así con un ruedo que presenció la "Época de oro del toreo mexicano".

A la que fuera cronológicamente la quinta plaza de toros en la ciudad, la sucedería en 1963 la actual Plaza de toros Santa María.

Efemérides

El 27 de noviembre de 1898 tomó la alternativa en esta plaza Manuel Calleja "Colorín". Su padrino fue Manuel Díaz Lavi "Habanero". Los astados los puso la ganadería de Galindo.

En 1947 durante la tradicional feria navideña se despide en este coso Paco Gorraez "El Cachorro de Querétaro", alternando con Carlos Arruza y Luis Procuna, con una corrida de La Punta.

El 24 de diciembre de 1948, Manuel Capetillo tomó la alternativa en este redondel. Su padrino fue Luis Procuna. Cortó oreja a su primer toro Juchiteco y fue cornado por Calle Baja, el sexto de la tarde, en el muslo izquierdo. Ambos bureles de la ganadería La Punta.

A quick post with some scheduling news.
My story "From the Darkness Beneath" will appear in the summer issue of Space and Time magazine (issue #124). It's been a long turn-around time (over 2 years) for this story, so I'm happy that it will finally see print.
A few months ago, I sold "Servant of the Sea" to Purple Sun Press for an unnamed fantasy anthology. That anthology has a name now: Coven. An unusual name, I think, because it conjures images of witches, but that's not what the anthology is about. Rather the publisher has said that "coven" has a broader meaning in that it's a gathering, and the Coven anthology is a gathering of fantasy writers. Okay, that's cool. Coven has been tentatively scheduled for August 2015.

Ford reveals a stunning new virtual race car
August 29, 2020 Franz Co	0 Comments	cars, esports, ford, fordzilla p1 concept, forza, gran turismo 7 forza motorsport, sim racing, team fordzilla
Ford has announced a new race car, and it will never hit the track—at least not in real life.
Called the Team Fordzilla P1 Concept, the car gets its name from Ford's own esports team, which it launched last year.
The car was designed with the input of over 250,000 fans over social media. Throughout the design process, these fans were able to vote in polls that helped define the final shape of the P1 Concept.
The resulting vehicle is a stunning, futuristic-looking racecar that bears more than a few design cues from past Ford racers.
The biggest inspiration seems to be Ford's GT90 concept. Unveiled at the 1994 Detroit Auto Show, the GT90 was a futuristic take on Ford's Le Mans winning GT40 race car from the 1960s.
The GT90 was also the vehicle that Ford used to debut its "New Edge" design language that defined the looks of its cars such as the then-new Focus during the turn of the millennium.
Lead designer Arturo Arino, however, claims that he took more inspiration from the current Ford GT. This is most evident in the large "flying buttresses" over its rear haunches—something that the current GT also has.
Beyond being just an homage to past Ford GT racecars, the P1 Concept also innovates with its ability to change its shape. The car is set to be able to use "morphing technology" to provide two styles for racers.
The first shape is a longtail configuration, perfect for blasting down long, high-speed straights, like a Le Mans car. It's second configuration, on the other hand, is a shorter one, meant to navigate tight street circuits such as the one used for the Monaco Grand Prix.
Virtual concept car, coming to a racing game near you
Virtual concept cars aren't a new thing. For years, Sony has been enabling manufacturers and race teams to create their own virtual concept cars as part of the "Vision GT" program in its Gran Turismo games. This program has resulted in some jaw-dropping stunners from the likes of Mazda, Mercedes Benz, Jaguar, Lamborghini and even the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team.
The P1 Concept, however, is one of the few virtual concepts that seemingly isn't tied to that program. That said, Ford has confirmed that the car is set to debut in a "popular racing" game sometime next year. (Read: Expanded Reality poised to grow in 2020 even with COVID-19)
Both Sony and Microsoft have new installments of their popular sim racing franchises coming next year. The former already revealed Gran Turismo 7 in June, while the latter has also confirmed that a new Forza Motorsport is also in the works.
As for those who would want to actually see the P1 Concept in the flesh, Ford has announced that it also plans to build a scale model of the car in real life.

Peterhansel regains Dakar Rally lead
Stephane Peterhansel of France drives his Peugeot down a mountain during the 10th stage of the Dakar Rally 2016 near Fiambala, Argentina, January 13, 2016. [Photo/Agencies]
BUENOS AIRES - French driver Stephane Peterhansel regained the overall lead in the Dakar Rally by winning Wednesday's 10th stage in northern Argentina.
The 50-year-old, who has won the event a record 11 times, ended the 278km section from Belen to La Rioja in three hours, 58 minutes and 32 seconds.
His compatriot and Peugeot teammate Cyril Despres was second, almost six minutes behind, with Russia's Vladimir Vasilyev completing the podium in his Toyota, 13 minutes further back.
It was a disappointing day for overnight leader Carlos Sainz of Spain, who was left stranded just before the end due to a gearbox failure.
His son, Carlos Sainz junior, revealed that his 53-year father had left the race.
"I've received news that my father has abandoned this year's edition of the Dakar. What a great rally he was having", Sainz junior said on social media.
Peterhansel leads the overall standings by exactly an hour, with Mini driver Nasser Al-Attiyah second in a Mini and Toyota driver Giniel De Villiers of South Africa third.
Thursday's 11th stage was due to take place between La Rioja and San Juan over a distance of 431km.

Japan Display's Upcoming Touch Screens Feature Slimmer Bezels, Wet Finger Support | Life!
Apple supplier Japan Display revealed some details on its second-generation "Pixel Eyes" LCD modules over the holidays, providing us with a look at some of the ways the display industry is advancing. Japan Display's "Pixel Eyes" modules incorporate touch functionality into the display, and in the second-generation model, there are some exciting improvements.
Using a new sensor structure and new materials, Japan Display has managed to decrease the thickness of the bezel, going from 0.8mm to 0.5mm. A deeper black level is available, and the display can accept input with a stylus as narrow as 1mm for finer detail when drawing or writing.
Perhaps the most intriguing feature in the LCD module is its ability to operate with wet fingers. Many current smartphone screens are unable to work accurately under water and when fingers are wet as water is capacitive and confuses the built-in touch sensors.
iPhones, iPads, and the Apple Watch, for example, don't respond well to touch with wet fingers or when placed in water, so technology like this could be essential if Apple wants to have a functional display in a device advertised as "waterproof." Some iPhone 7 rumors have indicated the next-generation iPhone could be a waterproof device.
In a report earlier this week, The Motley Fool highlighted Japan Display's second-generation "Pixel Eyes" technology and the possibility it could be included in the iPhone 7. Volume shipments on the displays will begin during the current quarter, making them available for possible inclusion in the iPhone 7 when Apple begins ramping up production during the summer months.
While Japan Display is one of Apple's suppliers, it is not entirely clear if Japan Display screens are used in the iPhone and if the second-generation Pixel Eyes display technology will be used in future products. There have been rumors suggesting Apple and Japan Display have partnered up for a $1.7 billion display plant to produce screens for iPhones in 2016, so it's not out of the question that we'll see Japan Display screens in the iPhone 7 or the iPhone 7s.
Regardless of whether Japan Display's technology ends up in the iPhone, the advancements made by the company serve as an interesting glimpse at features that could be adopted more widely by the display industry in the future, eventually making their way into Apple's devices.


Papua New Guinea is not party to the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (Hague Adoption Convention). Therefore, when the Hague Adoption Convention entered into force for the United States on April 1, 2008, intercountry adoption processing for Papua New Guinea did not change.
To bring an adopted child to United States from Papua New Guinea, you must be found eligible to adopt by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government agency responsible for making this determination is the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Learn more.
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS: There is a minimum six-month period of residency required for adoptive parents, but they need not be permanent residents.
AGE REQUIREMENTS: The Government of Papua New Guinea requires no age limit for adoptive parents if they are healthy, fit, and capable of caring for the child.
MARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS: Prospective adoptive parents must be legally married.
INCOME REQUIREMENTS: Prospective adoptive parents must be financially stable.
You cannot adopt a child in Papua New Guinea unless he or she meets these requirements of Papua New Guinea. In addition to these requirements, a child must meet the definition of an orphan under U.S. law for you to bring him or her back to the United States. Learn more about these U.S. requirements.
The central authority responsible for adoptions in Papua New Guinea is the Office of Child Welfare in the Department for Community Development.
The first step in adopting a child from Papua New Guinea is usually to select a licensed agency in the United States that can help with your adoption. Adoption service providers must be licensed by the U.S. state in which they operate. Learn more about choosing the right adoption service provider.
There are no adoption agencies in Papua New Guinea. The Office of Child Welfare in the Department for Community Development and its Director assists in adoptions.
To bring an adopted child from Papua New Guinea to the United States, you must apply to be found eligible to adopt (Form I-600A) by the U.S. Government, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Learn how.
In addition to meeting the U.S. requirements for adoptive parents, you need to meet the requirements of Papua New Guinea as described in the Who Can Adopt section.
If you are eligible to adopt, and a child is available for intercountry adoption, the central adoption authority in Papua New Guinea will provide you with a referral to a child. Each family must decide for itself whether or not it will be able to meet the needs of a particular child and provide a permanent family placement for the referred child. .
The child must be eligible to be adopted according to Papua New Guinean requirements, as described in the Who Can be Adopted section. The child must also meet the definition of an orphan under U.S. law. Learn more.
ROLE OF ADOPTION AGENCIES: There are no adoption agencies in Papua New Guinea. The Office of Child Welfare in the Department for Community Development and its Director assists in adoptions.
TIME FRAME: It takes approximately nine months from the time a child is matched with a family for adoption until the adoption is finalized.
ADOPTION FEES: There are no government charges for adoptions of Papua New Guinean children. Attorneys' fees vary and it is advisable to contact an attorney to obtain accurate fee information.
After you finalize the adoption (or gain legal custody) in Papua New Guinea, the U.S Government, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) MUST determine whether the child is eligible under U.S. law to be adopted (Form I-600). Learn how.
Your child is not yet a U.S. citizen, so he/she will need a travel document or Passport from Papua New Guinea.
APPLYING FOR A VISA AT THE U.S. EMBASSY IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA: Please visit the web site for the U.S. Embassy in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea for information on how to schedule an immigrant visa interview.
NOTE: The Consular Section provides visa services only on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. Issued visas will generally be ready for pickup in the afternoon of the same day. If the number of applicants or any other circumstance renders this impossible, then passports with visas will be returned the following morning, or as soon as possible after that time.
A valid U.S. passport is required to enter and leave Papua New Guinea. Only the U.S. Department of State has the authority to grant, issue, or verify U.S. passports.
To find information about obtaining a visa for Papua New Guinea, see the Department of State's Country Specific Information.
When traveling during the adoption process, we encourage you to register your trip with the Department of State. Travel registration makes it possible to contact you if necessary. Whether there's a family emergency in the United States, or a crisis in Papua New Guinea registration assists the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in reaching you.
What does Papua New Guinea require of the adoptive parents after the adoption?
We strongly urge you to comply with the wish of Papua New Guinea and complete all post-adoption requirements in a timely manner. Your adoption agency may be able to help you with this process. Your cooperation will contribute to that country's history of positive experiences with American parents.


Helping people appreciate the out-of-doors through a better understanding of nature's communities and conservation practices is an important role of the Eaton County Parks Department.
The Department employs a full time Naturalist to work with and provide programs for interested schools, clubs, civic groups and the community to promote the wise use of Michigan's natural resources. Please click on the link below to view the wide variety of program topics available.

PhotoBookstores FAQ
April 16, 2010 Philbert Ono PhotoFAQ
What's PhotoBookstores (discontinued)?
It was PhotoGuide Japan's list of major Japanese bookstores stocking a good selection of photo books. (Listing discontinued.) Besides bookstores in Japan, it also has a list of Japanese bookstores outside Japan. You can always buy books online, but it's always nice to be able to pick up the book in a bookshop and thumb through it before buying.
Which bookstores in Tokyo have a large fine-art photo book section?
In PhotoBookstores, see Kinokuniya, Maruzen, Aoyama Book Center, Yaesu Book Center, and Sanseido.
Which bookstores in Tokyo have a large J-pop idol photo book section?
See Kinokuniya, Yaesu Book Center, Sanseido, Shosen Grande, Shosen Book Mart, and Shosen Book Tower.
Which bookstores in Tokyo have a good selection of secondhand, fine-art photo books?
See Genkido in Jimbocho.
But the best place by far is at Yahoo Japan Auctions for greater selection and lower prices. Most sellers do not ship internationally though. Fortunately, PhotoGuide Japan offers an auction proxy service. We can bid for you and ship the item to you from Japan. Details here.

Which bookstores in Japan sell English books?
For the big ones, look for Kinokuniya, Maruzen, Logos, Tower Records, Tuttle Bookshop, Yaesu Book Center, and Sanseido.
I'm a book publisher in the US and I want to approach bookstores in Japan to sell my books in Japan.
Bookstores in Japan do not deal directly with publishers. They procure all their books from wholesalers who deal directly with publishers. Bookstores procure books from the wholesaler which then orders the books from the publishers. This system saves the publisher a lot of time and trouble since they don't have to keep supplying thousands of bookstores individually in Japan themselves. The bookstore also need not deal with hundreds of publishers individually. Approaching bookstores in Japan will be useless.
So how can I sell my books in Japan or import books to Japan?
There are a few book importers that you can negotiate with. Yohan used to be the largest one until it went bankrupt on July 31, 2008. See the list of book importers in PhotoBookshops.
Where can I buy used books in Tokyo?
Kanda-Jimbocho (the biggest), Takadanobaba, Ochanomizu, and Hongo (adjacent to Univ. of Tokyo) are the major places for used books.

A comedian's fight with Barstool Sports shows how Twitter's copyright system can hurt creators
"It's insane to me that the platform is allowing them to do this."
Mar 5, 2019, 12:55 AM UTC |
Earlier today, Los Angeles-based writer and comedian Miel Bredouw claims she received a peculiar message from the general counsel of Barstool Sports, a sports and lifestyle website that caters to young men and is widely known for its aggressive and sometimes offensive approach to cultural commentary. The lawyer, named Mark Marin, was offering Bredouw $2,000 to retract a copyright strike she filed on Twitter.
"That's brand new for me," Bredouw, whose short-form videos and other work have often gone viral over the years, told The Verge. "And I have had many, many interactions with companies stealing my content."
Barstool allegedly offered her $2,000 to retract the claim
The kerfuffle is over a 36-second long video clip of Bredouw ruminating on how the jingle for "Carol of the Bells" worked eerily well with the lyrics of the classic Three Six Mafia song "Slob on My Knob," followed by a brief demonstration. The video, which quickly went viral, has since been re-uploaded by numerous other content farms and social media channels that rip off popular comedians and writers. She initially posted the clip online more than two years ago.
Barstool Sports posted a version of her video in late December, without credit. So Bredouw tried to contact them. "I said, 'Hey can you credit me,' and they ignored it," she says. Shortly thereafter, Bredouw filed the copyright notice. Twitter immediately took the video down, she says, yet over the course of the last three months, her interaction with Barstool Sports, which initially admitted to posting the video without credit, became increasingly absurd. Bredouw describes the experience as being like an "Onion article [but about] something that actually happened."
Bredouw says that numerous members of Barstool Sports offered her increasingly more elaborate and lucrative offers to retract her DMCA claim, starting with an offer to repost the video with credit and then, after no response, a $50 gift card to the company's online store. In one message, Marin, Barstool's in-house lawyer, insinuated that the company may have been sent the video with misrepresented origins, a "rare case" that meant Barstool mistakenly thought it had the right to repost it.
At other points in the process, Bredouw says Barstool attempted to contact her across multiple channels, including Twitter, Instagram, email, and even the Instagram account of her comedy podcast Punch Up the Jam, all in an attempt to get the strike retracted. The offer was allegedly upped to include free exposure for her podcast and $500 cash, and then eventually $2,000 from Marin.
Eventually, when Bredouw refused to respond, Barstool Sports filed its counter-notice, telling Twitter that Bredouw's copyright strike wasn't legitimate; that Barstool had "a good faith belief that the material should not have been removed." And Twitter apparently bought it, according to a message she received from Twitter indicating the video would go back online after 10 days — unless she sought out a lawyer and took Barstool to court.
A counter-notice means your only recourse is to go to court
Twitter's current policy states that when it receives a counter-notice, the case is no longer in the company's hands; it's been elevated to a legal matter that only lawyers and courts are equipped to handle. But Bredouw claims that the status quo effectively allows sites like Barstool to steal creators' work and bully them into not fighting back. "This is not the first time this has happened to me where a large account has stolen a piece of content and I filed a DMCA and they filed a counter-notice," Bredouw says. "There's just this glaring loophole when a counter-DMCA is filed where you have to get a court order."
Twitter declined to comment for this story, referring The Verge to its public copyright guidelines policy. Twitter's policy differs from YouTube, which handles copyright strikes with more deference to content owners. But unlike YouTube's system, which creators say can be overly punitive and sometimes relies on inscrutable algorithms to lodge complaints, Twitter's appears to be much too lax, letting a company file a counter-notice to lob the ball in someone else's court and complicate the process.
According to Twitter's policy guidelines around copyright, it cautions against filing bad-faith counter-notices:
Please think twice before submitting a claim or counter-notice, especially if you are unsure whether you are the actual rights holder or authorized to act on a rights holder's behalf. There are legal and financial consequences for fraudulent and/or bad faith submissions. Please be sure that you are the actual rights holder, or that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed in error, and that you understand the repercussions of submitting a false claim.
The company's only course of action to prevent this behavior, however, is the same sort of strike system it uses for other violations. Amass too many strikes — the exact number is unknown — against your account and Twitter may suspend or delete it permanently. "If multiple copyright complaints are received Twitter may lock accounts or take other actions to warn repeat violators," the policy reads. Neither Barstool Sports nor its general counsel were immediately available for comment.
Bredouw says she has no plans to fight the counter-notice — it's not worth the trouble. But the telling saga speaks volumes about platforms like Twitter handle copyright claims, especially in a culture where stealing content and profiting off others' work has become widely accepted practice among social media managers and marketers.
Last month, the creator of the popular Fuckjerry Instagram account, which stole jokes to help build a successful marketing agency called Jerry Media, apologized for ripping off creators without permission and pledged to gain pre-approval for using others' work in the future. But the conversation around crediting on the internet, where it's easy to pass off content as your own and build lucrative brands out of it, has been going on for years, with little recourse for those that create tweets, Instagram posts, and videos that end up going viral.
"I think what it really comes down to is support. For reasons I and the rest of the internet don't seem to understand, Twitter refuses to have human support with major issues on the website like harassment and death threats and suspension of accounts," Bredouw says, adding that all it would take is one pair of human eyes to see that Barstool's counter-notice may not be legitimate. "It's insane to me that the platform is allowing them to do this."

NEW COON CREEK GIRLS
Formed by John Lair in 1979, the New Coon Creek Girls carried on the bluegrass tradition established by Lair's original Coon Creek Girls in the 1930s. Just as he had with the first group, Lair promoted the New Coon Creek Girls through his radio show and concert hall, the Renfro Valley Barn Dance. Guitarist and banjoist Vicki Simmons was one of the first performers to sign on to the group. Besides her musical talent, Simmons also had a connection to the original Coon Creek Girl, Lilly Mae Ledford, who had taught her the clawhammer banjo style. While the NCCG lineup would fluctuate over the years, Simmons was always a constant.
The band remained on Lair's show until 1983, at which point they struck out on their own. Throughout the 1980s and '90s, the Girls were a popular attraction on the bluegrass and folk festival circuit. By 1991, the lineup included Simmons, banjoist Ramona Church Taylor, vocalist and guitarist Dale Ann Bradley, and Pam Perry on vocals and mandolin. This lineup released 1994's The L&N Don't Stop Here Anymore as well as Ain't Love a Good thing a year later. The mandolin of Deanie Richardson replaced Perry's for 1996's Everything You Do, but Perry and Richardson both appeared on Our Point of View two years later.

Best Friend Forever
Indie Sales, the French international sales boutique behind the Oscar-nominated "My Life as a Zucchini" and Ziad Doueiri's "The Insult," is set to branch out with the launch of Best Friend Forever, a new Brussels-based outfit dedicated to festival-driven world cinema.
Best Friend Forever is kicking off with the acquisition of Juris Kursietis' sophomore outing, "Oleg," which will world premiere at Cannes' Directors Fortnight. The movie follows Kursietis' feature debut, "Modris," which received San Sebastian's special mention for the New Directors Award in 2014.
Produced by Tasse Film ("Dogs Don't Wear Pants") with Iota Productions ("Song of the Sea") and In Script & Arizona Productions ("The Gentle Indifference of the World"), "Oleg" follows the story of a young Latvian butcher who immigrates to Brussels to work at a meat factory, hoping for a better life, but instead quickly falls under the yoke of Andzejs, a Polish criminal.
Best Friend Forever is being launched by Martin Gondre, who worked at Indie Sales for six years as head of marketing and festivals, and entertainment lawyer Charles Bin, who worked at leading Parisian law firm Intervista, with the backing of Indie Sales' co-founders, Nicolas Eschbach and Eric Névé. Both companies will share an office at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
"After six great years at Indie Sales, it feels like a dream come true to launch my company together with my oldest friend Charles, whom I have known for more than 15 years, and even more with a strong and universal Cannes title," said Gondre.
He said "Oleg" represented the type of movies that Best Friend Forever wants to handle – "fresh and raw talent, at the dawn of their career, with whom we can grow together." During his tenure at Indie Sales, Gondre worked on more than 60 films, including "The Insult" and "My Life as a Zucchini," on top of festival-driven titles such as Clément Cogitore's "Braguino."
Bin, who has worked on more than 50 feature films and TV series as a lawyer and developed a solid expertise in financing international productions, said 'Best Friend Forever' would strive to deliver a service enhanced from the traditional business models of sales agencies, and become a "one-stop-shop" allowing a given project to develop an international scope.
"We consider producers as talents, and want to offer a new range of service alongside a sales activity, from negotiating deals on the best terms, structuring co-productions, or gap financing by acting as an intermediary," said Bin, who previously trained at the French lending institution Cofiloisirs.
Eschbach said Indie Sales, which will provide Best Friend Forever with back office support, was continuing to grow with the creation of this new banner. "This adds a new asset to Indie Sales' synergies between sales, production and financing," said Eschbach, adding that Gondre had been with Indie Sales since the creation of the company.
The Belgian capital offers an appealing tax rebate and a strong pool of producers with very few local sales companies, Gondre and Bin said.
"Brussels makes total sense – Europe's most important co-production place where the key players have not developed arms for international sales. It's the perfect place for us, not to mention that we love the city and its producers," said the pair.
Best Friend Forever will handle 10 films a year. Aside from "Oleg," the new banner will attend Cannes with a slate including Genevieve Dulude-de Celles's feature debut, "A Colony," which won a number of awards, notably the Crystal Bear at Berlin, and three prizes at the 2019 Canadian Screen Awards. The company will soon be announcing more acquisitions.

The Red Wings Are Born - These are tough days in the Motor City. The hockey team - the recently renamed Falcons, formerly the Cougars - are in receivership . But in September 1932 the team is sold to Chicago grain millionaire James Norris. Norris instantly renames the team the Red Wings and introduces the now famous winged wheel logo. Norris then begins to build one of the greatest franchises in all of sports history.
Doraty Ends Marathon - The final game of the best-of-five playoff series between Toronto and Boston began on April 3rd but did not finish well into the wee hours of the morning on April 4th. Early in the sixth overtime period, Toronto's Ken Doraty beats Boston goalie Tiny Thompson after 104:46 of overtime! The game ended at 1:50 am! The game is the longest game in NHL history, though it would bettered three years later in a famous game between Detroit and the Montreal Maroons.
Rangers Win The Stanley Cup - The New York Rangers win the Stanley Cup, thanks to the Bread Line and goalie Andy Aitkenhead. The acrobatic Aitkenhead may be the least respected Stanley Cup winning goalie in history's eyes. Meanwhile the Cook-Boucher-Cook line goes down as one of the greatest trios of all time. Bill Cook captures the league scoring championship before scoring a spectacular Stanley Cup winning goal against Toronto.
Voss Wins First Rookie Of The Year - The NHL introduces a new trophy. The Rookie of the Year award (later named in honour of Frank Calder in 1937) is first awarded Detroit forward Carl Voss. Voss went on to a vagabond career, playing for 8 teams in 8 years. He is better remembered as an official and referee-in-chief for which he was one day enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The Ottawa Senators return following a one season hiatus. The Great Depression is hurting the NHL. A team salary cap is introduced at $70,000 per team and $7500 maximum per player.
For the first time the NHL allows teams to choose a skater to serve minor penalties charged against goaltenders.
Eddie Shore becomes the second defenseman to win the Hart Trophy as the most valuable player. To this day it is rare for a defenseman to win hockey's most coveted individual prize. Shore would win a total of 4 Hart Trophies in his career.
Reg Noble retires at the end of the season, making him the last of the original NHL players who debuted back in December, 1917.

County passes smoking ban near county-owned buildings
Dmitriy Shapiro Daily Telegram Staff Writer @lenaweeshapiro
ADRIAN — The Lenawee County Commission passed an amendment to its Clean Air Ordinance after making key changes to make it more specific.
The commission passed the amendment at its May 8 meeting in a 7-2 vote, after the amendment itself was amended to specify that the smoking ban would be specific to county government office buildings and surrounding property and parking lots but allows the use of tobacco or vaping products in county-owned parks and open spaces not associated with office buildings. While the changes allow for the use of the banned tobacco or substitute products such as vaping in parks, they will still not be allowed near structures and organized sporting events.
A first offense is punishable by a fine of $50 plus court costs. Fines for repeat violations could be up to $500.
The intent of the original Clean Air Ordinance amendment was to address complaints from county employees and citizens who utilize county offices about the line of smokers standing outside of buildings as people enter and exit through the front doors. The ordinance also needed to be amended to include e-cigarette devices and methods for enforcement for repeat offenders.
The products banned under the Clean Air Ordinance, which originally went into effect in 1999, include but are not limited to cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, electronic smoking or vaping devices, snuff and chewing tobacco; and all tobacco substitute products.
Smoking by staff and visitors to the building would still be allowed inside of cars.
The motion to amend the amendment was made by commissioner Dawn Bales, R-Madison Twp., and seconded by commissioner K.Z. Bolton, D-Adrian, who had been critical of the ordinance in its original form.
While the amendment to the amendment was being debated, commissioner Terry Collins, R-Adrian, said that he felt that instead of opening up the parks and open spaces to smoking, the ordinance instead should include designated smoking areas.
"I may not have an objection to this if we had designated remote smoking areas in the parks. Now it says in the amendment to the amendment that … 'except in and around areas and organized athletic events," Collins said. "Well, (what) if it's an unorganized athletic event? A group of kids showing up to play ball and John, Joe and Jim Smith are hanging around smoking cigarettes, cigars, whatever. It's going to offend those people. It's going to offend other people watching hiking event or any such event. And for that reason, I will not support."
Collins and commissioner Ralph Tillotson, R-Adrian Twp., both voted against the amendment to the amendment and to the Clean Air Ordinance amendment.
Part of the amendment's enforcement changes would be to include the county prosecutor as a member of the Clean Air Ordinance committee.
Lenawee County Sheriff Troy Bevier and Prosecutor Burke Castleberry addressed concerns about the ordinance's enforcement at the meeting.
"I just wanted to let you know that I don't feel that any of the enforcement would be something that the sheriff's office would not be able to handle or look into," Bevier said. "I know that there'll be investigations. I don't see this as something that is going to be overly taxing for the sheriff's office if it were to pass."
"I agree with the sheriff. It is something that we can enforce," Castleberry said. "You put a lot of discretion, I think, in this ordinance. There's no mandatory prosecution necessarily. I think the spirit of the ordinance is proper and I think it's good for Lenawee County."
Notice of the ordinance was published in The Daily Telegram May 15. It will take effect on May 25.

Woman treated with antibiotics develops 'black hairy tongue'
A woman treated with antibiotics after a car crash developed a rare case of 'black hairy tongue,' according to the New England Journal of Medicine.

A woman treated with antibiotics following a car crash developed an unusual side effect: black hairy tongue.
(Warning: Graphic image below.)
The woman, 55, was involved in a motor vehicle accident where both her legs were crushed, according to the case details published by the New England Journal of Medicine.
After developing an infection, she was treated with two antibiotics: an oral dose of minocycline and meropenem given intravenously. One week later, she developed "black discoloration of her tongue," as well as nausea and a bad taste in her mouth.
The most common side effects associated with both antibiotics include nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
Black hairy tongue is a condition where small bumps on your tongue grow larger and change into a brownish-black color. In images showing a case of black hairy tongue, the condition looks as though small hairs sit on top of the person's tongue.
A case of black hairy tongue.
Yasir Hamad and David K. Warren, doctors at Washington University in St. Louis, say several things can cause black hairy tongue, including poor oral hygeine, using tobacco or irritating mouthwashes, or antibiotic treatments.
Four weeks after doctors swapped out the minocycline for an alternative treatment, her tongue turned back to normal.


Power Monitoring Expert 9.0 - After upgrade, why does the Alarms web application get 'stuck' when processing existing records for first time use?
After upgrading to PME 9.0, when I go to the Alarms web application, I see the Progress Report displaying how many old events/power quality events/alarms have been processed and how much more is left to do. Under some circumstances, Alarms can get 'stuck' in this state and never complete, rendering the Alarms application unusable.
See attached screen capture of the Alarms application when in this state.
Should any of the above conditions occur, the Alarm Processor can get stuck in an endless loop of being unable to process corrupt alarms/incidents.
3. Restart the services stopped in Step 1 above.
This problem will be addressed in the next PME release.


A fantastic trip to Antarctica most memorable for crossing the antarctic circle.
Do your research, we booked with the operator via Responsible travel but discovered that the ship is owned and run by another operator with whom you can book directly. The operator we booked with did not add anything extra on the contrary not particularly customer focused or friendly, so the operator of the boat should get all of the credit for Environmental Sustainability etc.

The Briscoe Western Art Museum, named in honor of the late Texas Governor, Dolph Briscoe,Jr. and his wife, Janey Slaughter Briscoe, preserves and interprets the art, history, and culture of the American West through engaging exhibitions, educational programs, and public events reflective of the region's rich traditions and shared heritage.
Located along the San Antonio River Walk, its campus is inclusive of the restored historic 1930's art deco/neo classical former San Antonio Public Library building which now serves as the Museum space with nine galleries on three levels. Highlights include Pancho Villa's saddle, a diorama of the Alamo, an authentic Chuck Wagon, and works by Frederic Remington and Taos Society of Artists. The new, three-story Jack Guenther Pavilion hosts private events and public programs along with the outdoor McNutt Courtyard & Sculpture Garden.
Visitors to the museum are able to walk to the Alamo, Convention Center, Hemisphere Plaza,the Tower of the Americas, River City Mall, the Children's Museum and Magik Theatre, LaVillita, the Arneson River Theater, Main Plaza and San Fernando Cathedral.
UDF provided two loans to the Briscoe Western Art Museum totaling $12.5 million. The loans were provided at below market interest rates and came with other advantageous features as well.
The project site is located in a severely distressed, major urban census tract in San Antonio, TX with a poverty rate of 37.5%, a benchmarked median family income that is only 61% of the benchmark median family income and an unemployment rate that is three times the national average. The area is designated by the CDFI fund as an Economic Development Hot Zone. The property is located within the San Antonio, TX Empowerment Zone as well as an SBA designated HubZone. These exhibits of severe economic distress in this community indicate a great need for economic development in this community.
Therehabilitation of this historic structure and its transformation to a western art museum came with numerous benefits the community. The one-time economic impact of the construction of the Briscoe Museum was estimated to be $33.3million and 361 jobs and the combined annual economic impact of the operation of the museum and tourism traffic is $9.6 million and 126 jobs. Many of the jobs created are accessible to low income persons and residents of low-income communities which provide much needed jobs in an area with unusually high unemployment rates. The community has seen benefits from the rehabilitation of an underused/underutilized structure which results in an increase of safety and appearance of the local neighborhood.
The building overhaul and museum opening contributed to the ongoing redevelopment of the downtown area. By drawing additional tourist dollars to the downtown San Antonio area, the museum has fueled growth in neighboring businesses, restaurants and hotels. Its success has made the investment in this underserved community more attractive for other lenders and investors who may have been hesitant to invest previously.
The museum provides cultural and educational opportunities for local low-income residents.Within the museum exists space for permanent and travelling exhibits with interactive features,a learning center and library that hosts live re-enactments and story-telling, a museum shop and sales gallery.

Delta and American Express renew partnership
American Express and Delta renew industry-leading partnership, lay foundation to continue innovating customer benefits
American Express and Delta Air Lines have signed an 11-year renewal extending their exclusive Delta SkyMiles Credit Cards from American Express portfolio through the end of 2029.
The long-term agreement will leverage shared strengths to deliver best-in-class value to customers, while continuing existing features, including:
Ongoing investment in industry-leading benefits for Delta SkyMiles Credit Cards from American Express
Complimentary access to the award-winning network of Delta Sky Clubs around the world for Delta Reserve Card Members and Platinum Card® Members from American Express
Delta participation in the Membership Rewards program from American Express, allowing those points to transfer into the SkyMiles® Programme
Delta as an American Express Card-accepting merchant
"Delta and American Express are two great consumer brands that share a passion for service to our customers, employees and communities. Our shared trust helps us work together to find innovative ways to offer greater opportunity to our customers as we grow our long-term partnership," said Delta CEO Ed Bastian. "Enhancing customer loyalty is at the heart of our business. Our partnership with American Express provides a competitive advantage as we deliver substantial value to our customers and owners."
"This is a true partnership steeped in common values, strong relationships and 23 years of history," said Stephen J. Squeri, Chairman and CEO of American Express. "We are thrilled to extend our agreement in a way that combines so many of American Express' unique assets and capabilities with Delta's large and engaged customer base to drive growth for both companies. We will be working together across our card, merchant and travel businesses to expand the partnership and believe this continues to be a very attractive platform for growth that delivers substantial benefits to our customers, our partners and our shareholders."
As the two companies work together, Delta expects its benefit from the relationship to double to nearly $7 billion annually by 2023, up from $3.4 billion in 2018, strengthening Delta's increasingly diversified revenue stream.
American Express expects attractive growth economics over the term of the agreement and affirmed its previous guidance for 2019 of FX-adjusted revenue growth in the 8-10% range and adjusted earnings per share between $7.85 and $8.35, subject to any contingencies and legal settlements1. The economics of the new terms are not expected to have a material effect on the first quarter results of American Express.
Since 1996, Delta and American Express have offered a portfolio of co-branded products that allow eligible Card Members to earn miles and receive other Delta-related benefits such as first checked bag free, Main Cabin 1 priority boarding and Delta Sky Club access. In 2018, the companies added 1 million new Delta SkyMiles Credit Card Members while spending across the card portfolio grew by double digits. Delta is the largest co-brand partner for American Express and its only U.S. airline consumer co-brand partner.
The airline continues to invest in the SkyMiles program, named a Best Travel Rewards program by U.S. News & World Report for the second year, while leading the industry when it comes to launching innovative ways to use miles on more Delta offerings, the latest of which is post-purchase upgrades. This pairs with the increased ability to earn miles on everyday activities through partnerships with brands customers love like Lyft and Airbnb. And, the award-winning Delta Sky Club experience continues to be a reason travellers choose to fly Delta.
1 American Express' 2019 guidance for FX-adjusted revenue growth and adjusted EPS subject to contingencies and legal settlements are non-GAAP measures. FX-adjusted information assumes a constant exchange rate between the periods being compared for purposes of currency translation into U.S. dollars (i.e., assumes FY'19 foreign exchange rates will apply to FY'18 results when calculating year-over-year growth). A reconciliation to EPS guidance on a GAAP basis is not available without unreasonable efforts.

Harry's new campaign redefines #WhatMakesAMan
To reinforce its role as leading voice of progressive masculinity, grooming brand, Harry's, launched its first campaign with GSD&M as its creative partner in the form of a short film—"A Man Like You." In an effort to amplify the ongoing cultural conversation around what it means to be a man today, the short film tells a story of an alien who discovers how to be a man with the help of a young boy.
"The tear-jerker spot, an unusual approach for the category, focuses on the boy as he teaches the alien typically macho ways of dressing, walking and, of course, shaving." – Ad Age
"With marketers now joining the fray, it's clear America will be considering, and reconsidering, ideas of masculinity—a much-needed and welcome conversation." – Esquire
Watch the journey unfold below then join in on the conversation using #WhatMakesAMan.

Wednesday is going to be one exceptionally historical night for Orlando indie-rock fans. Two legendary acts – the Posies and Eric Bachmann (Archers of Loaf, Crooked Fingers) – will be doing special intimate performances here, off the usual club circuit and a little on the QT. The Bachmann living room show is already sold out, but the good news is that the Posies secret pop-up show isn't yet. And the potentially great news for game Bachmann ticket holders is that the Posies' full-band concert is only three blocks away at Park Ave CDs, and the local promoters have coordinated so that the Posies will begin about 15 minutes after Bachmann concludes. How's that for community? It's a prime and very rare double-header night of up-close special engagements with canonical hall-of-famers.

Student artists share work, network through annual Young Artist Exhibition
By Emma Legg
The Young Artists Exhibitioin is featured in a gallery room on the second floor of Cornerstone Center for the Arts in Muncie through the month of April. Cornerstone welcomes more than 150,000 guests each year. Tier Morrow, DN
For Burris Laboratory School senior MyKel Ivy, creating art makes her feel amazing.
"It's kind of weird to see how you start with a blank canvas, and then you finish it, and you just have this wonderful piece," Ivy said. "It just makes me feel really special."
Ivy had the opportunity to share her art with Delaware County community members in the Young Artist Exhibition, hers hanging among 170 other pieces of 2D and 3D artwork in Cornerstone Center for The Arts.
Each year, young artists, grades K-12 from 16 Delaware County schools and home schools, submit their artwork in a competition to potentially have it displayed at the exhibition, where students have the ability to connect with other artists and families.
"The Young Artist Exhibition provides a unique opportunity for children to be highlighted as artists, often for the first time in their lives," said Jessie Fisher, the education director for Cornerstone. "It gives them the confidence to continue creating art, and they will remember the experience for a lifetime."
For more information about the event, contact Sarah Shaffer, education and marketing coordinator at Cornerstone Center for the Arts via email at sshaffer@cornerstone.org.
Lili Stokes, an art teacher at Burris, said the exhibition is important because it showcases the talents of students around Muncie.
"When [the students] get recognition, it makes them feel very proud," Stokes said. "I just think it's important for students to look at other work as well and see what's comparable to their own skills."
For the exhibition, Ivy created a painting of a stoplight because she said she was inspired by the inventor, Garett Agustus Morgan.
"I had a lot of ideas for great people in history, and people who are changing the world," Ivy said. "I just don't think people know he is the one who invented the stoplight, so I thought it would be cool to show people that, but not by just saying it."
While creating her artwork, Ivy said it was difficult for her because she was "on a bit of a time crunch," but it became easier because she already had the idea in her mind of what she wanted to create.
"[My favorite part of creating art] is honestly being messy because it's something I think people are afraid to do," Ivy said. "I like it when I'm cleaning up and I see I have paint all over my hands and I'm trying to avoid getting it on my clothes. It's just the fun of it."
For her artwork, Ivy won second place in her division. Each recipient category is divided by age.
"When I was named a winner, I was just really proud of myself," Ivy said. "I've always been really self-conscious of my art, and I wasn't going to enter the competition, but my teacher just really encouraged me to."
Students and families browsed the the art entered into the Cornerstone Center for the Arts Young Artist Exhibition March 14, 2019. The winners for each category were selected that evening. Jessie Fisher, Photo provided.
At the exhibition, the awarded artwork is chosen by a board of judges who are committed to giving back to the community and supporting young artists in their creative aspirations.
Ball State associate professor of art education Mike Prater was one of six judges this year, along with Betty Brewer, the president and CEO of Minnetrista and Barbara Kunts, a retired arts educator.
"[Judging young students' work] is great," Prater said. "Cornerstone is great to work with, and I am always so impressed with the dedication of the art teachers and the art students.
"[Being a judge can be difficult] because all of the students really do have different styles."
East Washington Academy fourth grader Jack Bouse also submitted his artwork into the exhibition and won an honorable mention.
"My grandpa loved to paint, and he had some extra canvases, so he thought we could paint too," Bouse said.
Bouse's mom, Stacy Bouse, said it was Jack's idea to enter the contest.
"I want him to be proud of the things he creates," Stacy Bouse said. "He's been interested in art since early elementary school. I was just proud he wanted to do it."
Ivy, Bouse and the other winners received cash prizes from Prime Trust, a certificate with their name and placement in their category, and a gift certificate to Art Mart. The gallery, open throughout April, will honor recipients who were selected as winners in each age category.
After the gallery, Ivy said she plans to continue pursuing a career in art at Ball State after she graduates.
"I just think that being a part of the art world at a younger age is a good basis for me," Ivy said. "I want to be an animator and work for a big company, so I feel like gaining confidence in my art now, since art is such a competitive field, it will help me feel more confident in my skills so I can fight for a position more in my future."

 Private Sub gvLegs_PageIndexChanging(sender As Object, e As GridViewPageEventArgs)

If anyone has a fix for this, it would help me greatly so I can continue.... debugging the actual code lol.

A: gvLegs_PageIndexChanging is private but needs to be protected or public.
Since you're using VB.NET you could also use the handles clause:
Private Sub gvLegs_PageIndexChanging(sender As Object, e As GridViewPageEventArgs) _
    Handles gvLegs.PageIndexChanging
End Sub

Edit: Just to be clear, you have three options in ASP.NET with VB.NET to create event handlers:

*

*declaratively on aspx

*in code with handles clause

*with AddHandler (mostly for dynamical controls in VB.NET)

If you use option 1 the event handler must at least be protected since the aspx page inherits from the codebehind class.
If you use option 2 the method can be private but you need to remove the declarative event handler on the aspx.
