Founded in 1884 Royal Huisman Yachts has continued to remain at the forefront of contemporary yacht construction over the years. Specializing in high quality custom 'Alustar' aluminum and carbon composite (superstructures) yachts between 80' and 300', Royal Huisman produced both sailing and motor luxury yachts.
After the passing of Walter Huisman, Royal Huisman is under fourth generation management and the shipyards managing director, Alice Huisman, is committed to utilizing recent investments in machinery and work facilities for the approximately 340 strong workforce. "I want to be sure that my father's goal of offering our clients the assurance that quality people have quality equipment with which to work remains intact."
The combined companies of Royal Huisman Shipyard and Rondal provide a complete 'under the one roof' approach to custom yacht construction. This includes both alloy and composite fabrication facilities. With this 'under the one roof' approach to yacht construction all major trades are represented at the 30.000 square m facility. From the furniture hall to the adjoining Rondal factory for masts, hatches and deck equipment Royal Huisman produces it all.
Royal Huisman's in-house engineering departments work closely with all major naval and styling architects to produce the infinite number of details found in custom yacht construction. The shipyard has gained a reputation for combining innovative engineering principles with traditional Dutch craftsmanship.


Truth be told, I'm not flag waving Google fan. Agreed, they do some great things. Do I trust them? Not any more than I trust anyone / anything that is motivated by – and legally bound to pursue – profit. That being said, to blame Google for people's laziness is addressing the symptom and not the problem. With rights also comes associated responsibilities. The fact is the (American) people have been shedding their responsibilities for years. It's not Google's or Facebook's fault that there are citizens with the right to vote who elect not to be fully informed. It's not reasonable to expect people who are acting mindlessly to engage in a sufficient level of thought.
My point is, it's not the political system, it's the electorate. It's not the internet based platform, it's the users. If individuals – who by definition are the building blocks of a society – are not going to be held accountable then they will act as such. There are plenty of studies that support this facet of human nature. Google, Facebook, etc. are doing what they are supposed to do. That is, meet a need in the market. If that need didn't exist then that level of uber-power would be forced to retreat. Google and Facebook are simply filling a void, not creating it. We have free will. We have choice. But it is we who choose to be sucked into the matrix and remain blind.
Or put another way, I suggest reading Carne Ross' "The Leaderless Revolution." He might not be spot on all the time but it's damn close most of it. It's time for responsibility and accountability to come back to where it belongs…with each one of us. Outsourcing such things to Google, Facebook, Uncle Sam, etc. and expecting better results is where the real evil begins.

Hermann Groeber  (* 17. Juli 1865 in Wartenberg; † 24. Juni 1935 in Gstadt am Chiemsee) war ein deutscher Maler, der zu seiner Zeit als Porträtist, Landschafts- und Genremaler gefragt war.

Werdegang

Jugend
Bald nach Groebers Geburt war sein Vater, ein Arzt, nach Eggstätt gezogen. Dort wuchs Hermann auf und verbrachte viel Zeit mit Bauern und Fischern am Chiemsee, sah und erlernte deren Handwerk: Netze spannen, Schlepp- und Hechtangel legen, den Einbaum auf dem See führen.

Das Gymnasium besuchte er in Burghausen. Sein Zeichenlehrer, ein Sohn des Malers Delacruze, erkannte sein überdurchschnittliches Talent, förderte ihn und erreichte beim Vater, dass Groeber an der Kunstakademie in München studieren durfte.

Seit seiner Zeit in der Volksschule in Prien am Chiemsee bis zu den Jahren im Internat des Gymnasiums in Burghausen war er mit Ludwig Thoma eng befreundet. Die Freundschaft währte lebenslang. Von ihr gibt es zahlreiche Dokumente – groeberisch gezeichnet, filserisch geschrieben.

Studium
Von 1883 bis 1886 studierte er in München bei Wilhelm von Lindenschmit d. J., Nikolaus Gysis und Ludwig von Löfftz. Ausgedehnte Studienreisen nach Holland, Oberitalien und Paris brachten den jungen Maler auch mit den europäischen impressionistischen Kunstrichtungen in Verbindung, blieben aber ohne direkten Einfluss. Seine Bilder sind "nachimpressionistisch" und behandeln bayerische Themen.

Gleichzeitig war er als zeichnerischer Mitarbeiter der satirischen Wochenzeitschriften Simplicissimus und der Münchner Jugend tätig.

Werdegang als Künstler
Als selbständig schaffender Maler hatte Groeber bald Erfolg. Hermann Groeber wurde schon bald nach der Gründung des Deutschen Künstlerbundes in diesen als ordentliches Mitglied aufgenommen.
Nach der Berufung von Ludwig Schmid-Reutte nach Karlsruhe übernahm er dessen Aktklasse, die sich bald eines sehr regen Zuspruchs erfreute. 1907 wurde er Leiter der Aktklasse an der Münchener Akademie und ebendort 1911 zum ordentlichen Professor ernannt. Diesen Posten hatte er bis zu seinem Tod 1935 inne.

1911 erhielt er in der Ausstellung im Münchner Glaspalast die Goldene Medaille. Seit 1910 führte der die Kunstchronik von Frauenwörth und nahm ab 1923 regelmäßig an Ausstellungen der Gruppe "Frauenwörther" teil, deren Vorstand er 1933 übernahm. Einige Mitglieder dieses Vereins, darunter auch Groeber, bildeten die Ankaufskommission der Städtischen Galerie Rosenheim.

Groeber war mit seinen Ölbildern, aber auch als Zeichner auf allen Gebieten der Malerei (Landschaft, Figur, Porträt) anerkannt. In seinem Bild Die Malschüler stellte er erstmals 11 Personen zu einem Gruppenbild vereinigt dar, woraus später weitere Auftragsarbeiten wie z. B. Michelkonzern erwuchsen.

Es bedeutete eine große Anerkennung seines Könnens und Werks, als er 1926 den Auftrag erhielt, den Verwaltungsrat der neu gegründeten I.G. Farben, damals der größte europäische und zugleich größte chemische Konzern der Welt, in einem Gruppenbild zu porträtieren. Bei den zwölf prominenten Porträtierten handelte es sich um Spitzen der deutschen Wirtschaft. Dem elfköpfigen Verwaltungsrat gehörten an: Carl Duisberg (Bayer) als Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender, Walther vom Rath (Hoechst), Theodor Plieninger (Elektron), Ernst von Simson (Agfa), Carl und Arthur von Weinberg (Cassella), Wilhelm Ferdinand Kalle (Kalle), Carl Müller (BASF), Edmund ter Meer (Weiler-ter Meer), Adolf Haeuser (Hoechst) und Franz Oppenheim (Agfa). Zusätzlich ist der Vorstandsvorsitzende Carl Bosch (BASF) dargestellt. Das Bild wurde 1927 im Münchner Glaspalast erstmals ausgestellt und wurde anerkennend aufgenommen.

Groebers geistige Nähe zum Nationalsozialismus manifestierte sich 1928, als er offiziell Förderer der neu gegründeten völkisch gesinnten, antisemitischen Nationalsozialistischen Gesellschaft für Deutsche Kultur wurde, die später in "Kampfbund für deutsche Kultur" umbenannt wurde. Er war seit 1921/22 Mitglied der NSDAP.

Wertungen
Der als einer der besten Kenner der Kunst der Jahrhundertwende geltende Autor Siegfried Wichmann schrieb über den Künstler:

"Die farbige Wiedergabe des Lichts entnimmt Hermann Groeber nicht ohne weiteres aus der momentanen Naturerscheinung. Ähnlich wie Fritz von Uhde geht er unter ganz bestimmten Voraussetzungen an die koloristische Durchführung. Und so bleibt ihm das Freilicht im Landschaftsraum nicht die unantastbare Erscheinung, eher ist ihm das Licht Kompositionselement und Stimmungsfaktor zugleich. (...) Als Schüler von Gysis wird Groeber von Anfang an auf das bewegliche Sonnenlicht aufmerksam gemacht: auch Lindemann und Löfftz vermitteln ihm zwischen 1883 und 1886 manchen Hinweis. Als Lehrer an der Münchner Akademie bevorzugt er mehr und mehr scharf umrissene Farbfläche, die in enger Verbindung mit dem linearen Aufbau der späteren Bildkunst von Wilhelm Leibl steht."

Nach Groebers Tod schrieb Hubert Wilm 1936 in den Münchner Neuesten Nachrichten:

"Groeber war nicht nur ein gottbegnadeter Künstler und eine der markantesten Persönlichkeiten der Münchner Künstlerschaft, er war vor allem auch ein prächtiger, froher, liebenswerter Mensch, eine Künstlernatur, die durch ihr ausgeglichenes Wesen auf einen grossen Kreis von Schaffensgenossen, auf seine zahlreichen Schüler zumal, stets anregend einzuwirken vermochte."

"Groeber war sein Leben lang ein begeisterter Anhänger der Freilichtmalerei, ein Maler der Wirklichkeit, ein Künstler, der, mit einem außerordentlichen malerischen Temperament und einem ungewöhnlichen Können begabt, allezeit das malte, was sein Auge an Licht- und Farbenwundern der Natur sah."

A few weeks ago, Nazelie Skincare sent along a few products from their collection which were specifically tailored to my skin type and concerns. I've had some time to test them, but as any beauty blogger knows, it can be difficult to test ALL the products we receive in a timely fashion. Most products sit for a month or two before I can break into them, but in this case I was able to to at least try these products a handful of times and put together some initial thoughts for y'all. A huge thank you to Nazelie for this generous gift they sent my way! If you're interested in trying these products for yourself, head on over to my Instagram (@scripturientskin) for a skincare giveaway with them I've just launched today.
A little background into the company: The brand was founded by aesthetician Gayane Mnatsakanova and her daughters, and is a fresh, handmade line of skincare products that uses all natural ingredients. Among these ingredients are olive oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, avocado oil, beeswax, and pomegranate extract + oil. The brand (and family) philosophy is that "less is more" so they've only crafted 10 products; however, they're 10 products that are versatile and can conform to any skin type or routine needed. All of their products are formulated without parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, artificial colors, PABA, petrolatum, or animal ingredients (vegan, save for the beeswax!) In addition, they are 100% cruelty free. All of their packaging is light-protective and the majority of it is glass, as this protects from light + oxygen and preserves product potency. Their product is made in small batches only, which is confirmed by the stamped date on every product box – you know what you're getting is always a fresh! They've sent me four products: a cleansing mask, a cleansing milk/toner, a spot erasing/tone correcting treatment, and an eye cream; keep reading for my thoughts on each.
This mask sounds terrifying at first with the name "peeling mask". And I'll admit, the ingredients list was a bit curious to me as well. With ingredients like alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, sodium borate, and boric acid, this sounds stripping as all get out! But after using this a few times, I think this is a pretty decent cleansing mask. Nazelie recommends that this be used during your nighttime skincare routine, and that you leave it on for about 5 minutes. I left it on my face for about 7 minutes both times I used the product, and for the last 3 to 4 minutes I really started to feel some tingling. Obviously this means the mask is working, but what is really going on? What benefit was this giving my skin? After some research, what I think this mask does is use the boric acid content to gently exfoliate your face (and there's some anti-acne benefit in there as well!) The camphor provides a cooling effect to your face and helps to stimulate blood circulation, and the base of this mask is shea butter so overall it's not nearly as stripping as I thought it would be. The alcohol content definitely does dry out my skin more than other cleansers or masks alone would, so I follow this up with a hydrating toner for sure. However, my skin has been looking fresh + radiant and I think a lot of it can be contributed to this mask!
I'm unsure of how to feel about this seemingly dual purpose cleansing milk/toner? Nazelie have suggested that this is for all skin types, to be used in your evening skincare regime. It has cleansing in the name, and yet this is not a cleanser; rather a fortifying tonic that you sweep over your face with a cotton pad after using the Peeling Mask. It's quite a thin, creamy consistency but rich in nutrients and extremely nourishing for your face. I really liked the pump dispenser and the general packaging when I first received this product, and it functioned nicely upon using it. The brand claims this is excellent for moisturizing and softening the skin, which is plausible given the ingredients list contains names such as jojoba oil, aloe leaf juice, calendula, and echinacea. However, as alcohol is hidden way down in the ingredients list, I feel this does leave my skin a bit dry and tacky-ish which is uncomfortable to say the least. I'm going to experiment with adding another layer of hydration after using this, perhaps another hydrating toner or a sheet mask. My first impression of this overall is that it'd be good for if your first cleanse didn't leave your face feeling clean enough because this is apparently both cleanser and toner in one. I didn't like that, for something claiming to be nourishing, this felt as though it cleansed my skin too thoroughly and left it stripped. It's an odd concept for a product in my opinion, and it may take me some time to test it out fully and discover how I best like using this.
This was the star product sent to me, and one out of two products in Nazelie's Anti-Aging Duo (there's this cream, and a Youth Rejuvenator serum!) These products claim to be spot erasing and tone correcting, and can be used all over or as spot treatments. I was so hyped to see this in my gift set as I struggle with skin tone + hyperpigmentation issues so anything to combat those concerns is something I need in my collection. Initial thoughts on this jar of cream: it smells pretty awful to me. Not a terribly strong scent, but juuuust off-putting enough that I feel a little sick putting it on my face… It's almost a chemical smell? Whatever it is, I'm not a fan BUT I can suffer on if it means a more even skin tone! The color of the product is a greyish, kind of "off" shade with darker speckles in it – don't be alarmed and think that it's gone bad in the shipping process! That's just the natural pigmentation of the formula. Texture-wise, this is very similar to how other beauty bloggers have been describing the YTTP Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream: very pudding-like. It's decadent and smoothing on skin, and absorbs into my face within seconds. The ingredients list on this product is stacked with healthy oils and butter, as well as a BHA and vitamin C for good measure. I haven't had the time to observe whether this has had a noticeable effect on my skin tone or dark spots as of yet, but so far I've enjoyed using this daily and can't wait to report back on the effects!
Lastly, the brand sent me their eye cream, which by all standards should be called a balm and not a cream. It's a thick, greasy, incredibly hydrating balm that melts with just the slightest bit of friction and warmth. I love using this at night under my eyes as it's just so nourishing and I wake up with glowier under eye skin! Be careful not to use too much however, because this is potent stuff. I'll likely have this little jar for years as you only need the tiniest pat of product to cover a large area. Too much of it leaves the skin feeling greasy and weighted down, so it's a generally good idea to be conscious of the amount you're using. I've also found I cannot use this during the day: my makeup doesn't sit well on top of this, and even if I don't wear any makeup, this exacerbates any sweat I have in my T-zone and leaves me looking greasy instead of dewy. The only ingredients in this little product are olive oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, cocoa butter, and beeswax – what a simple formula! I love that there's no additives or anything unnecessary in there; cannot wait to keep using this for the foreseeable future!

Q: When using swiftui fileimporter, files in iCloud are grayed out I've added support to import backup files from my app, and I try to show file importer as this:
.fileImporter(isPresented: $showFilePicker, allowedContentTypes: [UTType.init(filenameExtension: "mybackup")!], onCompletion: { (res) in
    do {
        let fileUrl = try res.get()
        if fileUrl.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() {
            onRestoreBackup(file: fileUrl)
            fileUrl.stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource()
        }
    } catch {
        ...
    }
})

It works fine for local files, but if I browse the iCloud folder, all files of "mybackup" extension are grayed out.
What else do I need to do to be able to open those files with the file importer? I've seen others with the same problem, but not any solution.

A: I've come across a similar issue, but found it wasn't related to an iCloud folder.
I found that by adding a second random UTType it could be coaxed into working:
.fileImporter(isPresented: $showFilePicker, allowedContentTypes: [UTType.init(filenameExtension: "mybackup")!, UTType.init(filenameExtension: "bla")!], onCompletion: { (res) in
    do {...

BTW I also included the conforming UUType, because it was a package type file. Something like:
.fileImporter(isPresented: $showFilePicker, allowedContentTypes: [UTType.init(filenameExtension: "mybackup", conformingTo: .package)!, UTType.init(filenameExtension: "bla")!], onCompletion: { (res) in
    do {...

Yes - I real hack. Definitely not the best for production code. I had raised with Apple sometime ago...perhaps I will re-send again, with some further clarity: FB8583257

Buy Your Brother a Goat for Christmas and Feel Good About it
The countdown's on and you're still not sure what to get Mom for Christmas. Of course, she's no help. Whenever you ask, she says, "I have everything I need." Give me a break! It's not as hopeless as it seems. You can take your mom literally. She always said it was better to give than receive, and World Concern, an international Christian relief and development organization, has found a way for you to help her and others on your gift list do both this Christmas. World Concern's Global Gift Guide lets you buy things like goats or rabbits--not for Mom herself, but for a needy person in her name. If you're not only out of ideas, but also strapped for cash, opt for the budget-priced rabbits from World Concern. For $15 you can provide a Rwandan family with a pair of breeding rabbits that will help boost their income and food security. For $25 you (or whoever is on your shopping list) can buy a family in Haiti a goat to help them rebuild their herd. If you have a bit more to spend (i.e. your siblings waited until the last minute, too, and are now eager to go in on a gift), $250 will buy a Ugandan farmer an ox which will help him till the land 10 times faster, ultimately producing more food. And an ox is something you know your parents don't already have. If livestock isn't your thing, why not spend $35 for a month's
worth of care for an Ethiopian girl trying to escape a life of prostitution? The Girls of Hope Center will make sure she gets basic health education and access to job-training workshops, and you'll get to feel good about your gift. You and your eco-friendly friends might also want to chip in and buy some fruit trees for Bolivian families instead of the CDs you were planning to buy each other. They'll set you back $50, just a little more than what you'd spend on three compact discs. There are other gift ideas to choose from. Buy a family in Cambodia a water well. Provide people in Mongolia with garden kits to grow their own food. Or send pre-made food kits to war-ravaged refugees in Kosovo.
Any of the options in the Global Gift Guide beat buying Dad another boring tie, and he and others you're honoring will get a card letting them know of your gift. Or you can have the card sent to you so you can wrap it and put it under the tree. Visit World Concern to find out more or to order, or call World Concern toll-free at 1-800-755-5022.

Pavement Founder Spiral Stairs Returns with Doris and the Daggers
"It's rare that you put on a record and it already feels like a classic." Hit ****1/2
"…following 2009's The Real Feel, Kannberg relocated to Brisbane and the Antipodean air clearly infused his work with a fresh perspective… it's been a long journey, but Spiral Stairs has finally found his voice." Mojo ****
"Backed by members of The National, Broken Social Scene, Oranger, and singer/songwriter Kelley Stoltz, the album patiently navigates middle age's ups and downs, setting aside sprawl and fantasia aside to focus on succinctness and autobiography." Pitchfork
It's been a long time between drinks for Spiral Stairs – aka Scott Kannberg – the founding member of seminal '90s indie rock legends Pavement, whose brand new solo album Doris & The Daggers is his first new batch of music in over seven years.
During that time he participated in the vaunted 2010 Pavement world reunion tour and then spent a few years residing in Queensland, Australia having married an Aussie girl, before eventually relocating to the Northern Hemisphere to conduct work on the new project. And while the sonically lush Doris & The Daggers is an intensely personal listen – covering topics such as the loss of close friends and the wonders of starting a family – this time spent in Australia shines through on the album, whether indirectly in inflections of bands such as The Go-Betweens or more overtly such as in Melbourne paean Trams (Stole My Love).
And the limited edition Australian version of Doris & The Daggers – which comes out on March 24 through Brisbane indie Coolin' By Sound – has even more of an Aussie flavour, arriving on St Kilda coloured vinyl (the AFL team Spiral has followed for years through good times and bad) and containing a bonus seven-inch single containing two songs written about his time spent in Australia's Deep North, Pig City and Vultures Of Caboolture.
Some high profile friends helped put the album together – Matt Berninger (The National) and Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene) provide backing vocals and his good friend Kelley Stoltz aided with arrangements and added some guitar parts – but it's that idiosyncratic Spiral Stairs worldview which shines through.
It's a worldly and well-overdue return from one of indie rock's shining lights, welcome Spiral Stairs back into your life with open arms as you embrace Doris & The Daggers.

Thigh Master Release Debut Album
"With the album's majority — Ford's angst-edged cynicism undercutting the catchy-as-f**k and perfectly unpretentious sharehouse guitar-pop" Rolling Stone Australia
"what shines through is surprisingly canny, intimately droll, and some of the most quintessentially Brisbane sounds on offer." The Music
After years of toil building their reputation on the local and national scene, Brisbane guitar outfit Thigh Master are finally dropping their debut album Early Times this October though Brisbane label Coolin' By Sounds, and are embarking on an extensive album launch tour to celebrate the occasion!
As the name suggests Early Times represents a sonic snapshot of a formative stage of the Thigh Master career arc, some songs pre-dating the band's formation in mid-2012 and others written in the their first year of its existence when still a trio, current members Matthew Ford (guitar/vocals) and Patrick Byron (drums) then augmented by Ford's brother Daniel on bass (Black Vacation).
The job of recording the batch of songs that the band had accumulated at this juncture was afforded to Blank Realm guitarist Luke Walsh, the band working around his schedule and recording wherever Walsh's mobile set-up was found at the time. Laying down their parts in various rehearsal spaces (such as the much-missed Hangar) and share houses, the bulk of the album was tracked in late-2013. Some new songs were added to the mix shortly after second guitarist Dusty Anastassiou (Dag) joined the Thigh Master ranks in 2014, and he added his parts to most of Early Times' original tracks as well, with Matthew adding further vocals and guitar overdubs in dribs and drabs until early-2016 when the project finally reached completion.
The result is a surprisingly cohesive collection of angsty, sun-dappled guitar-pop, the songs on Early Times urgent and hook-laden and etching their way into the listener's consciousness with effortless abandon. Early outings have already gained solid traction, with lead single Company topping the Amrap Metro Chart for four weeks running and follow-up radio track Canned Opening sitting atop 4ZZZ's Top 20 for a fortnight in September.
Of course Thigh Master had plenty of runs on the board before these recent achievements, having sold out the entire runs of their early singles Head Of The Witch (2014) and Songs To Wipe Your Mouth To (2015), toured Japan (including sold out headlining shows) and shared stages with friends The Clean, Guitar Wolf, Courtney Barnett, Ty Segall, Ariel Pink, Real Estate, The Coathangers and many more, as well as being selected to showcase at the 2016 BIGSOUND Festival.
And with Ford and Byron now joined by guitarist Innez Tulloch (Deafcult, Feathers, Roku Music) – who added parts to Canned Opening on the album – and bassist Hayden Knight in what has become the band's most stable line-up to date, Thigh Master are embarking on a national album tour to celebrate the release of Early Times. The run will find them taking in Nambour, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, and sharing stages with a great assortment of like-minded Aussie bands including The Ocean Party, Wireheads, Lower Plenty, Tralala Blip, Dead Farmers and Martyr Privates.
This long-lauded live band now has a killer album to call their own, grab a copy of Thigh Master's Early Times and then catch them in the flesh this October.
Early Times is available October 7 through Coolin' By Sound Records (Australia & NZ)
Shrapnel Release Debut Album
Fresh from releasing their brand new single Another Year to radio a couple of weeks back, Sydney dream weavers Shrapnel now deliver the song's film clip with little fuss nor fanfare. Filmed by frontman Sam Wilkinson in the streets around Sydney suburb Dulwich Hill on a budget of exactly zero dollars, it features the five members of the band (plus their good mate Shaun Donovan from Black Springs, who also played some guitar on the album) resolutely having a laugh as they wholeheartedly embrace the notion of absurdity.
Shrapnel burst into life a couple of years ago as the bedroom project of Wilkinson (Day Ravies, Mope City, Beef Jerk) but soon morphed into a full-blown band with the addition of like-minded souls from both his old projects as well as fellow indie outfits such as Miners, Weak Boys, Dollar Bar and Julia Why?, and will soon raise their profile exponentially with both the release of their thrilling opening gambit Tranceplanetsugarmouth (released on Brisbane label Coolin' By Sound in October) and the accompanying national tour later in the year.
For now, however, you can catch the Shrapnel single launch shows – for Another Year – in Brisbane and Sydney in the coming weeks.
Tranceplanetsugarmouth out October 2016 through Coolin' By Sound Records.

Q: How can I know the base url used in a running test in protractor? I'm trying to do navigation test in protractor and don't see any consitency with the baseUrl in the config and the url used in the test.
protractor.conf.js
exports.config = {
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:4200/'
}

navbar.e2e-spec.ts
import { NavbarPage } from './navbar.po';
import * as protractor from './../protractor.conf.js';
describe('navbar', () => {
  let navbar: NavbarPage;
  const baseUrl = protractor.config.baseUrl;

  beforeEach(() => {
    navbar = new NavbarPage();
    browser.get('/');
  });
  it(`should see showcase nav item, be able to (click) it,
  and expect to be navigated to showcase page`, () => {
    const anchorShowcase = navbar.anchorShowcase;
    expect(anchorShowcase.isDisplayed()).toBe(true);
    anchorShowcase.click();
    browser.waitForAngular();
    expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toBe(baseUrl + '/showcase');
  });
});

Although when I run the e2e test it uses a different port:
** NG Live Development Server is listening on localhost:49154, open your browser on http://localhost:49154/ **

Why is the test url set to port 49154. This apparently seems to be the default if you start a new angular-cli project: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli
How can I get control over the baseUrl / Or is http://localhost:49154/ safe to use for all my angular cli projects?

A: By default when you do ng e2e the command take --serve value as true. It means it will build and serve at that in a particular URL. Not the baseUrl you passed in protractor.conf.js
that is why, you are getting a random URL served when testing you app like http://localhost:49154/
Now as you don't want build during test and want to test existing build  (URL) like http://localhost:4200/ you need to pass --no-serve in your command line and it will pick baseUrl from the protractor.conf.js
you can also pass baseUrl in the command line like below. note that this not baseUrl but --base-href=
ng e2e --no-serve --base-href=https://someurl.com:8080

A: When running Angular CLI's ng e2e command, it states in the wiki that the default port will be random, as seen here:
https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/e2e
Under the serve submenu.
The e2e command can take in all the same arguments as serve so to keep the port the same just pass in --port my-port-number to the ng e2e command.
As far as that port being safe to use, I wouldn't use it, it is just a random port after all.  I would stick to the default unless you have a use-case for changing it.  The port is mainly relevant for the dev server, not so much for where ever the production code runs.

A: Aniruddha Das's solution doesn't work anymore as this option isn't there from Angular CLI 6.x version, you can try following -
ng e2e --dev-server-target=

They render services throughout Africa and have earned a reputation as one the foremost heritage service providers in the SADC region. PGS Heritage was established by Henk Steyn, Polke Birkholtz and Wouter Fourie after they identified a need for a specialist grave relocation service in Southern Africa. The company was named Professional Grave Solutions (Pty) Ltd. At the time, all three founding partners were involved in the heritage and archaeological field. During 2007, the bold move was made to amalgamate all their heritage work with the grave relocation business. It was at this point that the name of the company was changed to PGS Heritage (Pty) Ltd. To find out more we chatted to Birkholtz, Director at PGS.
What services does PGS Heritage offer?
PGS Heritage provides a full grave relocation and heritage impact assessment service, and we work closely with the relevant authorities to comply with legislation and stipulations. We communicate and co-operate with government, communities, community organisations and other stakeholders. We manage and participate in large scale projects with a highly qualified team of professionals and technicians possessing years of practical experience.
We found grave relocation to be an incredible niche market in Southern Africa. A large number of grave relocations are done by undertakers who are often not skilled in handling the legalities or the management of the process, resulting in numerous problems for clients. We also offer our clients a comprehensive Heritage Impact Assessment and Heritage Mitigation service addressing the full heritage spectrum, including history, archaeology, palaeontology and architectural assessments. Our staff contingent enables a fast reaction and implementation period.
Do you only offer your services in South Africa?
No, we have successfully completed various projects outside the boundaries of South Africa, including Swaziland, Mozambique, Botswana and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We are also looking at expanding our work into Africa as we are firm believers in the continent's social and economic future.
Tell me about some of the projects your company has successfully completed.Internationally we have completed Heritage Impact Assessments for the Rand Gold Resources Kibali project in the Orientale Province of the DRC, the Banro Corporation's Namoya Project in the Maniema Province of the DRC and the Manica Gold Project for Xtract Resources in the Manica Province of the Republic of Mozambique. Recently we completed a grave relocation action plan as part of the Resettlement Plan for Anadarko Moçambique Área 1, Lda for the proposed Area1 Offshore of the Rovuma Basin gas field, located on the Afungi Peninsula in the Cabo Delgado Province of Mozambique.
Our team has completed the relocation of over 4 000 graves.
This includes the management of large-scale grave relocation projects such as the relocation of 1 700 graves for New Vaal Colliery close to Vijoensdrift in the Free State Province of South Africa. As part of our heritage mitigation services, we are in the final stages of completion on the Clanwilliam Dam heritage mitigation project.
It is arguably one of the largest heritage mitigation projects implemented in South Africa.
The project stretched over 30 months and included the excavation of archaeological sites, the collection of oral histories, the relocation of graves and the implementation of a community development and involvement plan linked to the heritage resources of the Clanwilliam and Olifants River Valley.
To continue striving to be the best heritage services company in the SADC region and at the same time hold ourselves to the highest standard of service excellence and customer satisfaction.

Did you ever take a look at how many times the word 'Sabbath' is used in the Bible? Over 150 times. Compare that with the tithe (which is mentioned just over 50 times) and I've got to wonder which is more difficult for us to follow? Give ten percent of your funds to the work of the Lord, or spend an entire day with Him once a week?
Sabbath (or Shabbat)means to cease or rest. God says to honor, remember, and celebrate the Sabbath. It is His appointed time. Yeshua tells us that the Sabbath was made for us. So, if this is true, why do we fight so hard to ignore this precious gift?
The Sabbath does so many things for us.
Yes, the Sabbath does a lot for us. Today I want to talk about how it strengthens our relationship with each other.
As you know (if you've been following my blog) that my life has had quite a few changes – the biggest of which is my grandson moving in with me and our traditions suddenly colliding. Because he's needed my attention, my granddaughter got jealous so in all aspects, there's been a lot of underlying tension in the house.
The one thing I keep going back to is the importance of the Sabbath. It was the last thing God made in His creation. For me, all of Creation is a gift from God – our life, our planet, each other. So to turn our foot away from the Sabbath is a slap in the face to God of all He's done for us.
As important a thing as it is to me, it is the one sticking point with my grandson, the one thing that drives him crazy.
Lately, I've learned that the Sabbath strengthens our relationship with each other.
If you didn't read my post, 'What Do You Do When You When You Want to Kill Your Teenagers?', please do.
As you've read, the situation in my home – for the last ten months – has not been fun. My joyous Sabbath celebrations turned to a muddled mess of fighting just to get a moment of love, joy, peace to shine in our home. Yet, as I followed God's lead, to not push the kids to attend service, or leave them on their own while I did, we are growing into a cohesive unit.
This week, my granddaughter mentioned that she was looking forward to playing games again, and my grandson showed up on-time, rushed upstairs to change, and together we rang out 'Shalom Aleichem' with us ladies singing to the grandson's beat box. And we laughed and smiled through it all!
Our dinner conversation was not all 'me' centered, the kids helped clear the table without being asked, and this morning we were sorry to see the time come to an end.
So you see, the Sabbath strengthened our relationship with each other. It may have taken ten months, and one big blow up, but because Sabbath was the goal, God blessed it and honored our efforts to honor Him.
It's a blessing to hear about your family coming together, Ro. Having none, I really admire those that do and actually strive to get along.
I have finally figured out what my Shabbat is…under my particular circumstances, and feel at ease with my decisions. I am very Karaite…in other words…I only observe what is written in the scriptures, but I have no one to share the sabbath with, so I have streamlined my halacha, and just spend the time with Abba. It wouldn't work in a community, perhaps, but since I am not in one, that doesn't matter.
I am struggling right now with lack of community. With the High Holy Days around the corner, i am no longer connected with a Messianic body of believers. It's a strange feeling, but one I am familiar with, as having no body for fellowship has happened a couple of times in my life for various reasons.
Right now I am seeking the Lord as to why, though I think I already have the answer. He's called me to do what Paul did – go to the Gentiles. There's such a hunger there.
Being able to focus on the kids has always been my saving grace through the toughest of times. I tend to be very self-centered and they keep me other-centered. I guess G_d knew what He was doing when He gave them to me.
I can't wait to meet you and James and Pete and so many others that this Internet has allowed me the privilege of meeting. It was wild getting to worship with Proclaim Liberty this side of eternity. I can only imagine what it will be like on the other side!
It's the Sabbath again but this time around, Florida is looking down the barrel of another hurricane. It is said that we should bless God for our misfortunes as well as our good fortune. May Hashem be blessed in Heaven.
Yes, this Sabbath is very different than the last two. My granddaughter is with my son in south Florida. He didn't want to evacuate, nor did he wasn't his daughter to flee with me to Jacksonville. She's more like my daughter than my grand, so this is hard.
The song, "I'll Praise You in the Storm" keeps running through my mind. Years ago, during Andrew, the Lord asked, "If I take your children, will you still trust me?" The only response I could give was the same as Peter – who do we have besides You? Where could we go?
In all circumstances, God is a good, good Father. Thanjs for helping me to remember that, James.


But why Jacekiem vs. Jacek?
Both for the English name Jack and the Polish name Jacek (which by the way comes from Hyacinth, but is a lot more popular), the Instrumental form is "Jackiem".
One of the most basic uses of Instrumental is when English uses "with". Polish then uses "z" (together with) or just bare Instrumental (when 'with' means 'using').


As I read her post, I took it personally… there's a shock… and I began to wonder if that's how I come across… I honestly don't know but what I do know, is that if you know me at all, my hope is that you know that for me, Gratitude is more than lip service. It's a way of life for me. I may only post my gratitude on Thursdays, but I take a moment every day to reflect all my blessings.
You see, there was a time when I couldn't find much to be grateful for… 10 years ago when I was going through my divorce, I hit rock bottom. Over time, I found myself again… an evolving process that will never end of course. I started to relish in the good. I started to try to catch friends and loved ones doing good. I started to pull myself out of the darkest of darks with the help of those who have been by my side through the good and the bad. When you've seen nothing but dark, you can't help but appreciate the light.
So, you'll have to forgive me if this all seems trite. You are welcome to move on and read someone else's blog if you feel that this is, in any way, superficial or self-promoting.

I've never really considered a different perspective on gratitude, so this makes me wonder how my interpretations are perceived.
After I wrote my post, I decided I don't care how my gratitude or anything else for that matter is perceived. I shall live in gratitude because that is where I am happiest. Those who like it can read along. Those who don't, well, they can skip it.
I agree with your assessment, Shelley. I am still formulating a polite reply to Evin. Her perspective, though, is not unique. I have heard that before. In fact, I did some soul searching a few months ago to decide if my incredible gratitude was bragging or truly expressing thanks. I decided that, yes, by expressing gratitude we are inviting more good things into my life. Also if I expressed gratitude for something that, on the surface, seemed not so good, I would quickly see the good side of it. Also by writing down and sharing our gratitude we can revel in it for a little while, helping us to truly take the time to be grateful.
My son and I were going through photos today. People like to say that if you are taking pictures or posting on Facebook or doing anything to "capture" a moment, you aren't truly in the moment, living it and being present. But as we looked through photos I found myself wishing we had more. So many moments I have not captured and now they are gone. They may exist as memories for me, but for how long? And his three year old mind won't remember them at all.
Slightly off topic, but all about that divide between "social media" and "living." We can do both, I say.
You are sincere in your gratitude and that shows in everything. I <3 you!

Epiphone Jack Casady Bass Ebony and Epiphone Hardshell Case Bundle
Epiphone Jack Casady Bass Ebony
Epiphone Hardshell Case
Jack Casady Signature Bass
The Jack Casady Signature Bass was designed by Casady in collaboration with Epiphone and is the culmination of years of experimentation by the Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna bassist to find an instrument with superb, balanced electric tone and the response of an acoustic bass.
Casady is one of the rare rock bassists known by both fans and players for his signature tone. And like The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson and The Beatles' Paul McCartney, Casady became a bass player after years of study on other instruments. "My first teacher was a big band guitarist named Harry Vorhees. Later on I took from a number of guitarists; one was Bill Harris who was the guitarist for the Clovers," Casady told Epiphone.com. "He had studied with a guy who studied with Andres Segovia."
Looking for the Holy Grail of Bass Tone
"When I first started playing, I ran across a short scale semi-hollow bass," said Casady "Despite lacking some low end, I really enjoyed the semi-hollow nature of that bass and over the years tried to capture that characteristic." Casady did find a rare Les Paul bass that came close to the sound he was seeking. "In 1985, I was living in New York and happened to stop in a music store one day and saw a , full scale semi-hollow Les Paul bass," Casady recalled. "I loved the bass but found the pickup to be deficient."
Casady approached Epiphone with his ideas and with help from our Epiphone luthiers, Casady fulfilled a life-long dream by designing the perfect electric bass.

Azure facilities, premises, and physical security
This article describes what Microsoft does to secure the Azure infrastructure.
Azure is composed of a globally distributed datacenter infrastructure, supporting thousands of online services and spanning more than 100 highly secure facilities worldwide.
The infrastructure is designed to bring applications closer to users around the world, preserving data residency, and offering comprehensive compliance and resiliency options for customers. Azure has 52 regions worldwide, and is available in 140 countries/regions.
A region is a set of datacenters that is interconnected via a massive and resilient network. The network includes content distribution, load balancing, redundancy, and encryption by default. With more global regions than any other cloud provider, Azure gives you the flexibility to deploy applications where you need them.
Azure regions are organized into geographies. An Azure geography ensures that data residency, sovereignty, compliance, and resiliency requirements are honored within geographical boundaries.
Geographies allow customers with specific data-residency and compliance needs to keep their data and applications close. Geographies are fault-tolerant to withstand complete region failure, through their connection to the dedicated, high-capacity networking infrastructure.
Availability zones are physically separate locations within an Azure region. Each availability zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking. Availability zones allow you to run mission-critical applications with high availability and low-latency replication.
The following figure shows how the Azure global infrastructure pairs region and availability zones within the same data residency boundary for high availability, disaster recovery, and backup.
Geographically distributed datacenters enables Microsoft to be close to customers, to reduce network latency and allow for geo-redundant backup and failover.
Microsoft designs, builds, and operates datacenters in a way that strictly controls physical access to the areas where your data is stored. Microsoft understands the importance of protecting your data, and is committed to helping secure the datacenters that contain your data. We have an entire division at Microsoft devoted to designing, building, and operating the physical facilities supporting Azure. This team is invested in maintaining state-of-the-art physical security.
Microsoft takes a layered approach to physical security, to reduce the risk of unauthorized users gaining physical access to data and the datacenter resources. Datacenters managed by Microsoft have extensive layers of protection: access approval at the facility's perimeter, at the building's perimeter, inside the building, and on the datacenter floor. Layers of physical security are:
Access request and approval. You must request access prior to arriving at the datacenter. You're required to provide a valid business justification for your visit, such as compliance or auditing purposes. All requests are approved on a need-to-access basis by Microsoft employees. A need-to-access basis helps keep the number of individuals needed to complete a task in the datacenters to the bare minimum. After Microsoft grants permission, an individual only has access to the discrete area of the datacenter required, based on the approved business justification. Permissions are limited to a certain period of time, and then expire.
Facility's perimeter. When you arrive at a datacenter, you're required to go through a well-defined access point. Typically, tall fences made of steel and concrete encompass every inch of the perimeter. There are cameras around the datacenters, with a security team monitoring their videos at all times.
Building entrance. The datacenter entrance is staffed with professional security officers who have undergone rigorous training and background checks. These security officers also routinely patrol the datacenter, and monitor the videos of cameras inside the datacenter at all times.
Inside the building. After you enter the building, you must pass two-factor authentication with biometrics to continue moving through the datacenter. If your identity is validated, you can enter only the portion of the datacenter that you have approved access to. You can stay there only for the duration of the time approved.
Datacenter floor. You are only allowed onto the floor that you're approved to enter. You are required to pass a full body metal detection screening. To reduce the risk of unauthorized data entering or leaving the datacenter without our knowledge, only approved devices can make their way into the datacenter floor. Additionally, video cameras monitor the front and back of every server rack. When you exit the datacenter floor, you again must pass through full body metal detection screening. To leave the datacenter, you're required to pass through an additional security scan.
Microsoft requires visitors to surrender badges upon departure from any Microsoft facility.
Physical security reviews
Periodically, we conduct physical security reviews of the facilities, to ensure the datacenters properly address Azure security requirements. The datacenter hosting provider personnel do not provide Azure service management. Personnel can't sign in to Azure systems and don't have physical access to the Azure collocation room and cages.
Data bearing devices
Microsoft uses best practice procedures and a wiping solution that is NIST 800-88 compliant. For hard drives that can't be wiped, we use a destruction process that destroys it and renders the recovery of information impossible. This destruction process can be to disintegrate, shred, pulverize, or incinerate. We determine the means of disposal according to the asset type. We retain records of the destruction.
Equipment disposal
Upon a system's end-of-life, Microsoft operational personnel follow rigorous data handling and hardware disposal procedures to assure that hardware containing your data is not made available to untrusted parties. We use a secure erase approach for hard drives that support it. For hard drives that can't be wiped, we use a destruction process that destroys the drive and renders the recovery of information impossible. This destruction process can be to disintegrate, shred, pulverize, or incinerate. We determine the means of disposal according to the asset type. We retain records of the destruction. All Azure services use approved media storage and disposal management services.
We design and manage the Azure infrastructure to meet a broad set of international and industry-specific compliance standards, such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOC 1, and SOC 2. We also meet country- or region-specific standards, including Australia IRAP, UK G-Cloud, and Singapore MTCS. Rigorous third-party audits, such as those done by the British Standards Institute, verify adherence to the strict security controls these standards mandate.
For a full list of compliance standards that Azure adheres to, see the Compliance offerings.

MEDICARE ANNOUNCES 2011 FUNDING FOR STATE HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAMS
Fraud, waste, & abuse
$46.5 MILLION TO HELP BENEFICIARIES LEARN ABOUT MEDICARE
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today announced that nearly $46.5 million for basic grant funding will be distributed to State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIPs) on April 1, 2011, to help people with Medicare, and those who care for them, receive information and counseling about their health benefits and choices. These grants are available to the 54 SHIP organizations in the United States and its territories for the funding year that runs from April 1, 2011, through March 31, 2012.
"With these funds, SHIPs will provide counseling to beneficiaries, encouraging them to use the new annual wellness visit and other preventive services that the Affordable Care Act provides at no cost to beneficiaries," said CMS Administrator Donald Berwick, M.D. "SHIP educational services also help beneficiaries to identify and report suspected Medicare fraud, enhancing the anti-fraud tools provided by the Affordable Care Act."
These grants are the first of two rounds of funding to be distributed to SHIPs in FY 2011. Performance grants will be distributed to SHIPs in September 2011 based on their performance and accomplishments in the prior grant year. Grant funding will allow SHIPs to expand and develop new strategies to strengthen their community-based and grassroots networks. The SHIPs provide personalized, one-on-one counseling, information, education and outreach to help people understand their Medicare benefits.
Teresa Nino, director of CMS' Office of External Affairs and Beneficiary Services said, "We all know that early detection and preventive services are an investment in our health. Now, with the Affordable Care Act, we're supporting that knowledge by making health care accessible to those who are often less likely to receive preventive care. SHIPs and other CMS partners with grassroots connections will use creative methods to inform Medicare beneficiaries, their families and trusted representatives about these services."
CMS has established goals that will help to ensure consistency in access to services from SHIPs for people with Medicare benefits and in the quality of the information available to them. For 2011, CMS updated performance measures to better evaluate the quality of SHIPs' services.
CMS will continue to support the SHIPs with training and technical assistance. This will help to ensure that the community networks remain fully capable of accessing and using CMS' 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) telephone information line and regional office resources, as well as the online tools at www.medicare.gov and www.SHIPtalk.org to provide assistance to Medicare beneficiaries.

Postdoctoral Fellows Programs
Applications for the 2019 Beckman Institute Postdoctoral Fellows Program are no longer being accepted. The application period ended at 5:00 PM Central Time on Monday, March 25, 2019.
The Beckman Institute offers three postdoctoral fellows programs to support outstanding young scientists at the Beckman Institute: the Beckman Institute Postdoctoral Fellows Program, the Beckman–Brown Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellows Program, and the Carle Foundation Hospital–Beckman Institute Postdoctoral Fellows Program. These programs offer a wonderful opportunity for scholars to engage in a three-year fellowship of interdisciplinary research at the Beckman Institute. Each year, four to six Beckman Institute Postdoctoral Fellows and one Beckman–Brown Interdisciplinary Fellow are selected from a highly competitive pool of applicants. Approximately every three years, one or two Carle Foundation Hospital–Beckman Institute Postdoctoral Fellows are likewise selected.
The Beckman Institute Postdoctoral Fellows Program was initiated in the fall of 1991 with funding from the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation to recruit outstanding young scientists to work at the Beckman Institute.
The Carle Foundation Hospital–Beckman Institute Postdoctoral Fellows Program was begun in 2008 with funding from Carle Foundation Hospital to recruit outstanding young scientists to work on translational biomedical research. In 2019, we open this special opportunity to recruit a new Carle-Beckman Postdoctoral Fellow with a focus on heart and vascular research, in collaboration with Carle's Heart and Vascular Institute. We seek outstanding candidates with interest and experience in molecular engineering and/or neurocardiology research.
The Beckman–Brown Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellows Program was initiated in the fall of 2015, when the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation provided an endowment in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Arnold Beckman and the founding director of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, Dr. Theodore "Ted" Brown.
For all programs, Fellows are selected on the basis of their outstanding achievements to date, professional promise, capacity for independent and interdisciplinary work, and relevance of their research interests to the applicable program.
Ph.D. degree bestowed within the last three years, no earlier than March 2016
Relevance of the research area to the portfolio of the Beckman Institute
Evidence in the research plan that at least one faculty mentor/collaborator is a full-time or part-time faculty member at the Beckman Institute. A second Beckman Institute faculty mentor/collaborator who is a full-, part-time or affiliate Beckman Institute faculty member is also required.
Fellows receive an annual stipend of $54,000, reimbursement for health insurance, and a $25,000 research budget that can be spent on research activities such as research supplies, equipment, and conference and workshop travel.
Fellows are appointed annually for up to three years.
Fellows are required to write annual reports and to check in monthly with the Beckman Institute Director.

This photograph is taken at Natural Bridge VA USA. It is formed Naturally. The biggest challenge of nature photography is to get each and every detail which can be seen by your bare eyes. I had to capture 5 exposures to get every detail. If you observe closely you will see a lot details in darks and highlights.
This shot has so many tones of the gray scale. We really do not need colors to feel the beauty of the nature.
This shot is a panorama shot. I have merged 6 photos to get this one. It came from canon 5d mark I + canon 24-105mm f4 IS.
This photo is taken at miami beach before sunrise. I was roaming around by the beach and wanted to capture something interesting. Suddenly I ran into this starfish hidden in the sand. I kept the starfish in clean and took this shot.
This is in Pachmadi MP India. The fog you see is actually a mix of smoke and dust.
Place : Pachmadi, Madhya Pradesh, India.

From The Critic: "The Chicago Letter"
THE EXHIBITION which was opened last week at the Art Insti-
tute is much the most interesting that has been held here since the
Fair. It contains 116 paintings by the Glasgow men, 36 by
Danish artists, and a few by Dagnan-Bouveret, Degas, Thanlow
and Whistler. The latter sends three little pastels, delicate and
exquisite in color—suggestions, dreams, flashes of light from the
wings of the butterfly as it flits by. The Degas is a shadowy
thing, a gray figure againt light; but in its very indistinctness lies
a greater charm than can be found in the large half-nude woman
which Dagnan-Bouveret calls "la Peinsure." The Thanlow has
the honest, rugged strength of winter, the beauty of vigor rather
than of delicacy: it is an admirable piece of work. But it is not
these, nor the paintings by Couture, Boudin and Raffaéli, nor the
works of the Danes, which make the exhibition notable.
The Glasgow painters are new; often as we have heard of them,
this is the first time a collection of their work has travelled to this
country. Mr. Charles M. Kurtz selected these pictures in Scot-
land and brought them to St. Louis, where they were first exhib-
ited at the annual exposition. From there they were sent to the
Art Institute, which will keep them until Christmas. They make
so distinguished a showing here that the prominence thay have at-
tained within a few years no longer seems astonishing. Their
originality is no more remarkable than their dissimilarity. No man
seems even to have studied with another, and it is difficult to trace
the origin of their divergent methods. The influence of Whistler
is more marked than that of any other, yet they have learned much
in France and much in Japan. But they imitate no one, and their
art is the product of their own consciousness. Each man is a
distinct personality, working out his own problems in his own
way, choosing the material that interests him most, and treating
it without regard to traditions or conventions. And this almost
under the shadow of the Royal Academy.
The work of James Guthrie deserves first place in any mention
of these Scotchmen, and he would be able to hold his ownwith
the painters of any country. His "Constance" in this exhibition
is a rare portrait, rich in color yet very quiet, frank yet reserved,
strong yet exquisitely delicate. The handling is masterly, free and
direct, impressionistic, if you will, with dashes of sudden color,
but never meaningless and lways carrying weight. The same
thing is true of the "Portrait of Dr. Gardiner," which has, how-
ever, less beauty of color than the other. But in both the painter
has treated his subject in a manner approporiate to itself. A lovely
night scen is like Whistler, and a beautiful, peaceful "Pastoral"
shows Mr. Guthrie in another vein. His pastels emphasize still
more his versatility, for he uses that medium with a dash and
variety that are irresistible. E. A. Hornel is as different from
Guthrie as any man could well be, and no other artist has painted
in quite his riotous way. Like Monticelli, he makes a god of colour,
and all other qualities pay tribute to that one. But because of
this deference, the god is complacent and enables him to produce
singularly beautiful effects. In the "May Day" and "Children
at Play," there is an abandon which convinces one of the enthu-
siasm of the games, but makes the pictures too much of a jumble
to be decorative. In his Japanese scenes there is more restraint.
No one else has brought from Japan such gay, brilliant, vivid im-
pressions of the life there. They have a radiance which is widely
different from native studies, and at the same time they are essen-
tially Japanese. In composition they are often original; indeed,
Mr. Hornel is conventional in nothing. His is a most unusual
talent, which bids fair to evolve some new harmonies of color, yet
undreamt of in our philosophy.
T. Millie Dow's crefully finished work is a marked contrast to
most of the others, but he, too, expresses vividly what he wishes
to say. This honesty of purpose, this fearless directness of ap-
peal, this habit of uttering the thought in a way which will con-
vey its meaning most clearly, is characteristic of these Glasgow
men. It is the oly quality common to them all, and it is the
one which makes them so diverse. There is no trace of impres-
sionism in Mr. Dow's "Enchanted Wood," but there is a poetic
refinement of beauty which is very real. The touch of a poet, and
in these men there is no sentimentality, is also manifest in James
Paterson's "Blacknest Tarn," with its marshy foreground, and
in R. Macaulay Stevenson's fine landscapes, in which he exoresses
the beauty of twilight and of night. His "by the Mill Pond"
has a wonderfu; peace about it. There is much delicacy and
cleaverness in Mac Gregor's work, and Hamilton's "Venice" is an
individual view of a farmiliar subject. David Gould, E. A. Wal-
ton and William Kennedy send charming portrait heads, in which
mere prettiness is never the primary object. Arthur Melville se-
cures his water-color effect with the simplest means, mere dabs of
color representing an Arab procession or a bazaar at Saragossa.
But he says what he wishes to say, the procession is there, and it is
moving: the crowd is animated. And besides all these there are two
men who cannot be omitted, so remarkable is their work with
animals. "The Chase," by George Pirie, a cock in hot pursuit of a
mouse is, superb in its rendering of the fierce, tense excitement of
the moment. It raises the sordid race to the level of a tragedy. In
"The Aviary, Clifton," Joseph Crawhall, Jr., shows himself the
equal of the Japanese in the portrayal of birds, but his method is
entirely his own and inimitable.
An authors' reading is to be given this afternoon at Hooley's
Theatre for the benefit of the family of the late Eugene Field.
The audience promises to be large, as the house was nearly sold
out several days ago. Mr. Hamlin Garland and Mr. Herbert
Stone have charge of the arrangements, and the former will read
two or three of Mr. Field's poems, the other writers will read from
their own works, and it will be the first appearance of several of
them, even in this city where they live. Mr. Henry B. Fuller has
never read in public before, I believe, and his cooperation is there-
fore particularly valuable. In addition to these, the names upon
the program are Mrs. Catherwood, Mrs. Lindon W. Bates, Miss
Lillian Bell, Mrs. Madeline Yale Wynne, Miss Harriet Monroe,
Mr. Hobart Chatfield-Taylor and Mr. Opie Read.

Apparently I'm really into writing book themed posts right now! I seem to go through stages where I write more about home, more about clothes, more about books. Right now, I'm on a book kick.
Do you know that feeling where certain books just resonate with you? As if the words that are written on the page are the exact ones needed to form the picture of it in your mind and you're completely lost in it. Those words are the ones that you want to use to describe something, but have never quite managed.
For me, these 5 books are ones that are favourites, but they also surpass other favourites. It's not necessarily the story, although that's a big factor, but something underlying in them, some connection. These are the books I wish I'd written and the writers I wish to be like in future.
The only word I can find to truly describe the writing in The Lonely Hearts Hotel is ethereal. It's part whimsical, but that's too fanciful; it's part gritty, but that's too honest. I love the combination of words and image in this story. The plot itself is good, but it's the way the words are constructed, magically yet realistically, to form something beautiful. I'm just left in awe, wondering why my words don't go together so poetically to form something so natural. It's a world to get lost in. And I know this is one of those books people either love or hate. Obviously, it's a love from me.
This book has everything. The reality of teenage relationships, between girls, between boy and girl, between boy and girl and girl. How they can seem so all-encompassing, that nothing else exists, that nothing else matters in the entire world. The nostalgia, the toxicity, and the power. I feel like if I'd read this as a teenager, I wouldn't have got it in the same way I do today. And this is the feeling I'm constantly trying to capture in my words, of hazy days gone by where nothing in the world really did matter until it did.
This is an eternal favourite for me. The points of contact with my life are just so…there. I feel like the setting is one I entirely belong in – a slightly gothic boarding school in the New England-ish area of North America, surrounded by history and dead languages and mystery. I love that it keeps you in the dark and is so clever. I love the way that it so perfectly reflects a modern tale of Greek tragedy. I just love it.
Another gothic story with modern touches. I read it this summer and so much of the book just resonated and stuck with me. When I'm trying to come up with a story in my imagination, this is the sort of thing that comes to mind. I felt as though I could have written, but obviously not as well! I only reviewed it recently but I can't stop thinking about the story.
When I read The Great Gatsby at school, I was a bit like "meh, it's alright." Then I reread it as an adult and fell totally and completely in love. I read this book once a year now and have to restrain myself from reading it over and over again in between. I have a print of the last sentence on the wall in our downstairs bathroom and I repeat it to myself every time I go in there, wishing I'd written those words.
It's one of the only books I pick up and read slowly and carefully, savouring every single word and sentence. It's like a fine wine that gets better with age as you notice small details of it you didn't before. It shows a time in American history that isn't all forgotten, yet, but from another angle, another perspective. The shattered American dream.
Do you have a list of books you wish you'd written?
I keep getting rid of and reacquiring The Thirteenth Tale, so I need to just actually read it. It clearly impacted you, so I think I'm going to put it higher on my TBR list. There are books I wish I had written too.
I had it lying around on my shelf for a long time too after someone recommended it to me – because it was a "real book" rather than a Kindle book, it took me longer to get to it, but I'm so glad I did – I loved it!

The IIC announces the Maturity of IoT System Security Guide
Along with the publication of the SMM Practitioner's Guide is an update to the IoT SMM: Description and Intended Use White Paper, which provides an introduction to the concepts and approach of the SMM. This white paper has been updated for consistency with the SMM Practitioner's Guide, including revised diagrams and updated terminology.
As organizations connect their systems to the internet, they become vulnerable to new threats, and they are rightly concerned with security. Addressing these concerns requires investment, but determining investment focus and amount is a difficult business decision. The SMM helps by enabling a structured top-down approach toward setting goals as well as a means toward assessing the current security state, taking into account various specific practices. The SMM allows an organization to trade off investment against risk in a sensible manner.
Building on concepts identified in the groundbreaking IIC Industrial Internet Security Framework published in 2016, the SMM defines levels of security maturity for a company to achieve based on its security goals and objectives as well as its appetite for risk. Organizations may improve their security state by making continued security assessments and improvements over time, up to their required level.
"This is the first model of its kind to assess the maturity of organizations' IoT systems in a way that includes governance, technology and system management," said Stephen Mellor, CTO, IIC. "Other models address part of what is addressed by the SMM: they may address a particular industry, IoT but not security, or security but not IoT. The SMM covers all these aspects and points to parts of existing models, where appropriate, to recognize existing work and avoid duplication."
The practitioner's guide includes tables describing what must be done to reach a given security comprehensiveness for each security domain, subdomain and practice and can be extended to address specific industry or system scope needs. Following each table is an example using various industry use cases to demonstrate how an organization might use the table to pick a target state or to evaluate a current state.
One example is that of an automotive manufacturer considering the possible threats interfering with the operations of a vehicle key fob. The manufacturer sets its target maturity comprehensiveness level to "1" as it considers some IT threats, such as a Denial of Service attack that may prevent a driver from opening the car door using the key fob. Over time, as new threats emerge, the manufacturer realizes it needs additional threat modeling and enhanced practices so raises its target maturity comprehensiveness level to a higher level "2."
The practitioner's guide contains three case studies that show IoT stakeholders how to apply the process based on realistic assessments, showing how the SMM can be applied in practice. The case studies include a smarter data-driven bottling line, an automotive gateway supporting OTA updates and security cameras used in residential settings.
