Ondřej Vinš
— Pedestrian Thing / Dedicated to the Eratosthenes of Cyrene
29. 5. 2018 — 23. 6. 2018
Opening: on Monday, May 28, at 6 pm
Curator: Mariana Serranová
Ondřej Vinš's installation, Pedestrian Thing (2018), can – according to the artist – be understood as a "mechanical-chemical record". However, in reality, this several-month-long experiment, whose name is borrowed from the eponymous collection of poems by Petr Kabeš, bears in itself the inescapable poetry of absurdity. Its resulting format is, from a creative perspective, both subtle and liberating. He unexpectedly paraphrases the finesse characteristic of photo documentation, without paradoxically, during the process of recording individual phases of movement in the landscape, his camera finding any sort of use. The artist applies the technique of recopying sequential topographical situations from maps onto paper, a record of spatial movement that accentuates the materialness of the analog process. He confronts various models of representation: the precision of cartographic measuring against records of sensor-based and physical movements in the landscape. It is worth pointing out that the mapped terrain used by the artist was the beautiful mountainscapes of the České středohoří (Central Bohemian Highlands) area that is so often visited as part of local landscape traditions. It all makes sense: they stand out not just for the two-dimensional photogenic quality of their silhouettes, but they are also suitable for the "pedestrian thing" and because of their multidimensional presentation thanks to their visibility and sparse vegetation.
Ondřej Vinš often uses analogue cameras and projectors in his work. The romanticizing nostalgia in his art sometimes stands in contrast to his factual post-conceptual speech. Similarly, he surprises with the frugalness with which he sometimes almost overshadows the existential and metaphysical dimension of how he lives out his stays and work done in nature. In one of his older works, the artist notes: "Somewhere far away, far beyond this border, there's allegedly a land where nighttime never comes, where the sun touches the wrinkled mountains and where you can enter a landscape at the end of the world. All the promises of discovery and encounters with the unknown that move the gentle mechanisms of human desire for questioning and awe of the ability to ask the question… this pushed us along winding paths, forced us to maintain our balance along rugged (fierce) canyons, to negotiate with ferrymen and toll collectors in a dead (arcane) language as old as the landscape itself."
Maps are a faithful companion of travelers and dreamers. For Ondřej Vinš, his work on Pedestrian Thing represents a fundamental, practical starting point and an object of reflection. Poet Elizabeth Bishop closes her famous poem, The Map (1934), with a reflection on the inspiring and timeless dimensions of cartography (map-making):
Topography displays no favorites; North's as near as West.
More delicate than the historians' are the map-makers' colors. 1
Ondřej Vinš, in his work, also deals with the limits of two-dimensional presentation of the Earth's surface in maps. In his projects, he researches records on terrain; namely, the roundness and plasticity of the Earth's surface, inclines shown by topographical contours and his travels take him to the poles. Ancient geographer Eratosthenes of Cyrene, one of the propagators of the Earth being round, attempted using science to dispel myths showing the misguided idea about the Earth's surface being flat. The misguidedness of these ideas, based to a certain degree on the imperfection of human perception and the physical experience of the landscape, once again comes into play in Ondřej Vinš's work. The artist uses all his senses to examine the distortion of human perception of physical space and the illusiveness of two-dimensional maps. He also looks for sources in the reflexive figurativeness of others. He follows the creative dialogue of the body and landscape; the scientific quality and poetics.
TALK TO THE MAP, name a small thing: it casts a long shadow? (…)2
Topics related to topography, landscape and spatial mapping recur repeatedly in Ondřej Vinš's photographs and paintings. Each time though they appear in a different perspective representation or with a different content focus. In the series of paintings, A Study of Shadows in Landscape (2013) he captures, for example, the drastic discontinuity of the post-industrial Most area with ghostly images evoking the well-known metastasis; in his photographs though his approach to people in landscapes is replaced by enlargements from the movie, Big Green Line (2014). The current exhibition, Pedestrian Thing, foreshadows his installation, Transitory Landscape (shown at Perla, 2016) and his "landscape" project, I am not at all below the hills to the West (2017), photographed in Norway and Finland.

In recognizing the importance of the board and the police department's role in ensuring law and order in iTaukei communities, the two organisations have come up with the agreement that will promote mutual interest through cooperation in the field of rural policing.
The agreement will facilitate cooperation in building up of community policing awareness in rural iTaukei communities and drug related areas.
Police will closely liaise with all Roko Tuis in the organization of drug awareness programs and at the same time, strengthen community policing within iTaukei communities.
The memorandum is not a binding document but intends to facilitate the most effective and efficient use of Government and part-government agencies' resources, intelligence and information when dealing with security matters.


A woman, regardless of age, from time to time faces the problem in choosing clothes. When fully hammered cabinets it turns out that she had nothing to wear. Lots of skirts, blouses, which lie, maybe even not one year, just in case, just take up space in the closet. The only correct solution to this problem is to review the entire contents of a wardrobe and a clear sorting.
All lost their form and color clothes must be removed from the wardrobe - they'll go for the release. Things you for various reasons, were not of the last two years, you will hardly have to wear, so they, too, pull it out of the wardrobe and put separately. Exceptions are only exclusive things, as they eventually increase in price in 20 years will turn into a vintage.
After the closet audit, you will have a lot of space in the closet and a mountain of different unnecessary things. If things are in good or satisfactory condition, they can hand over money. There are a few interesting options that you can use. In the Commission shops you can buy very interesting things at below market price. Take stores all sorts of things, but only in good condition. Price can set the owner of things or it will make the store itself. After selling a small percentage of the proceeds takes shop for services rendered in the marketing of things, and the remaining money is paid to you.
Baby consignment shops are very popular, because children grow quickly and do not always have time to wear all of the acquired clothes. And buying in the markets and in the shops of new clothing is a bit problematic. In such cases, buyers are very helpful thrift shop, you can not only sell small things, but just to exchange for others that your baby will fit. Also in these stores you can sell the stroller, playpen, bike and other baby supplies.
Brand stores also accept things with it. However, there occurs buying and selling only branded things. In these shops you can take the shoes, bags, hats, outerwear and other things that have the brand label. In these shops at resale hold a certain percentage of the amount of the proceeds and give the rest to the owner of a piece of clothing.

Biden Aims to Distribute Masks to Millions in 'Equity' Push
President Joe Biden plans to appropriate a huge number of face covers to Americans in networks hard-hit by the Covid starting one month from now as a feature of his endeavors to guarantee "value" in the public authority's reaction to the pandemic.
Biden, who like Donald Trump's organization viewed as sending covers to all Americans, is rather receiving a more traditionalist methodology, intending to reach underserved networks and those enduring the worst part of the episode. Trump's organization racked the plans totally.
Biden's arrangement will appropriate veils not through the mail, but rather through Federally Qualified Community Health Centers and the country's food bank and food washroom frameworks, the White House declared Wednesday.
The Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, and Agriculture will be engaged with the dispersion of in excess of 25 million American-made material covers in both grown-up and kid sizes. The White House gauges they will arrive at 12 million to 15 million individuals.
"Not all Americans are wearing covers routinely, not all approach, and not all covers are equivalent," said White House COVID-19 facilitator Jeff Zients.
The White House isn't conveying more secure N95 covers, of which the U.S. presently has plentiful stockpiles after deficiencies right off the bat in the pandemic.
The fabric covers stick to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rules and "positively they meet those necessities set by our government standard," said White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
Biden indicated the move Tuesday during a virtual roundtable conversation Tuesday with four fundamental laborers who are Black, saying he anticipated that his administration should send a huge number of veils to individuals around the country "instantly."
Biden has requested that all Americans wear face covers for the initial 100 days of his term, highlighting models showing it could help save 50,000 lives. He likewise required veil wearing in government structures and on open transportation with an end goal to moderate the spread of the infection.
In late January, a Quinnipiac survey showed that 75% of Americans said they wear a veil constantly when they go out openly and are around others, and an extra 12% said they wear a cover more often than not.
Biden has disclosed temperance of his presentations of veil wearing, drawing direct difference with Trump, who just seldom was seen covering his face while president. Biden has additionally required the utilization of veils around the White House, not at all like Trump, whose White House was the location of in any event three flare-ups of the infection.
Psaki proposed recently that strategic concerns supported the choice to downsize the designs to send veils to all Americans.
"I think there are some basic inquiries concerning how you target them — the covers — where they go to first; clearly, it couldn't occur quickly," she said.…
Red-Darc Weldments in Southhampton
Red-Darc Welding is a relatively new welding process developed in the United Kingdom in the early 90's. It uses a filler metal that is electrically bonded between pieces of metal in order to form metal beams. The main benefit of using this type of welding is that it has higher melting points and can be used for thicker metals than standard tig welding. It also provides a high amperage which is important when you are doing a lot of welding on a smaller work-site. Visit them
The first Red-Darc welders appeared in the field of weld engineering at the University of Birmingham, UK. These elements were not very successful due to a lack of shielding. It wasn't until later that engineers developed a similar welding technique known as arc welding. Arc welding involved the use of gas tungsten electrode (GTFE), which was not very effective because of the high temperatures that welds can reach.
A newer type of welding process is the Solid State Arc Welding (SSAW) which is more commonly used by professional welders. The biggest difference between the two methods is the ability to avoid a MIG torch. When working with metals with a high melting point (such as stainless steel) it is often necessary to rely on a MIG torch in order to weld, especially with larger pieces. Another issue with the GTFE filler metal is that it tends to melt at a high temperature during the welding process, which makes it impractical. If you are planning to use Red-Darc welding as your primary welding method you will want to have the proper shielding available in order to avoid the risk of melting the work-site. This will ensure that you can get the job done effectively.

APP: Schlossbach drops out of 11th District race for Assembly
The Asbury Park Press as well as other news agency's have reported that Democratic Candidate Marilyn Schlossbach Has pulled out of the 11th District race for Assembly. Her reason for doing so was based on the damage sustained to her numerous shore area restaurants as a result of Hurricane Irene:
…"It is with great regret that I must withdraw my candidacy for Assembly. My efforts at this time must be focused on the health of my business, and protecting the jobs," Schlossbach said Wednesday….
…She said she was sad about having to drop out of the race. However, she said she would consider running again in two years.
She said she wanted to put her employees ahead of everything else….
Campaign Manager, Vlad Gutman is quoted as saying that the decision was made on Wednesday, after Schlossbach had a chance to assess the impact of the storm damage on her businesses.
"I think as time went on, it became clear to her that she could not continue in the race," Gutman said. "Her employees were her first priority."
Her running mate Vin Gopal has left the following statement on his Facebook page concerning the departure of Scholssbach from the ticket.
I made a lifetime friend in Marilyn Schlossbach – a smart businesswoman filled with integrity and compassion. Although she has exited the race to focus on her businesses, she will be involved in helping our team in Asbury Park. Over 100 committee members will meet next week to pick my new runningmate, I will continue to work hard, knocking on doors & raising money and we will win on November 8th.
This is a stunning turn of events for the race in the 11th Assembly District were many felt that Gopal and Schlossbach had a extremely good chance to knock off their Republican incumbent opponents Assemblywomen Mary Pat Angelini and Caroline Casagrande.

NJ Senate Dems target Beck with failed public safety override
Senator Jennifer Beck has flip flopped on marriage equality and women's healthcare due to politics. However, when it comes to protecting the streets of Asbury Park, Long Branch, Red Bank and the 11th District – She is siding with Governor Christie's drastic cuts.
By Max Pizarro PolitickerNJ
Unless your name is Whelan, Gordon, Polistina or Driscoll, most insiders see the post-redistricting legislative election year landscape as a bore snore: 37 or 38 Senate cocoons all but perfectly preserved against an opposing party onslaught.
But Democrats want to soften up their rivals where they can, and in light of the public safety argument, in particular, some of them see at least the shades of an opportunity in the newly formed LD11, where state Sen. Jennifer Beck (R-11) seeks re-election.
"They think they have an opportunity to play there," Patrick Murray, pollster and political scientist for Monmouth University, told PolitickerNJ.com.
Beck broke with Republicans Monday to vote in favor of restoring $7.5 million for women's healthcare, signaling to Democrats that the incumbent is serious about a challenge from Freehold attorney Ray Santiago.
Today, state Sen. Paul Sarlo, (D-36), zeroed in on Beck as he tried to get her to consider backing restoring a line item of $50 million for public safety, a doomed proposition along with the other Christie cuts to the Democratic budget.
"I can only look at the budget as a whole," Beck told Sarlo.
Democrats hope Beck's reconfigured district, which now includes urban municipalities Long Branch and Asbury Park, will present outrage opportunities for the challenger as they try to sink Beck by tying her to Christie.
Two inside sources told PolitickerNJ.com that while they doubt they can topple Beck, Assembly Democrats want to try to get into a dogfight with the GOP in the 11th to pick off Beck's running mate, Assemblywoman Caroline Casagrande of Colts Neck

>Vin Gopal: My Candidacy For The State Assembly In The 11th District
>Originally posted over at Blue Jersey
When I saw the new 11th District Map, I decided after years of working behind the scenes, I wanted to place my name on the ballot. The new 11th Legislative District has 36,643 registered Democrats, 26,405 registered Republicans and 68,899 registered unaffiliated voters. The district is home to Asbury Park, Long Branch, Neptune, Red Bank, Freehold Borough, Tinton Falls and many other beautiful Monmouth County municipalities. Of the 18 towns in the district, 11 of those towns have 4,000 or more registered voters. Out of those 11 towns, 9 of them have more registered Democrats than Republicans, most of them overwhelmingly. 9 of the 11 big towns in the district have more registered Democrats than Republicans.
Get where I'm going with this? It is a Democratic district. Basically all the strong Democratic towns in Districts 11 and 12 got merged while all the strong Republican towns, including Wall (goodbye Sean Kean!), Rumson, Millstone, Brielle, Avon, Monmouth Beach, Sea Girt, Englishtown, Fair Haven, Little Silver (sorry Declan O'Scanlon), Manalapan, and Oceanport all got thrown into other legislative districts. It really is remarkable what happened here!
This district is for Democrats to win. It will be about raising the funds necessary to compete and turning out our base. It will be about turning out voters from nonpartisan towns like Asbury Park and Long Branch, giving them a reason to vote in November.
The incumbents are Senator Jen Beck, Assemblywoman Caroline Cassagrande and Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelni. Three good people who are gravely out of touch with this new 11th District. Poor Caroline, I don't think even if I gave her a GPS she would know how to get to Asbury Park. You see, the challenge for Assemblywoman Cassagrande and Senator Beck is they are unknown in a big chunk of the district, which basically puts us at even playing field.
Some of you on Blue Jersey know me as an activist, somewhat of a troublemaker but may not know my background. It wasn't long ago I stirred the pot by organizing a petition with the help of this website to make sure Senators Buono and Vitale weren't pitted against each other. I admit, I do have a history of mixing things up, but I'm proud of that and I think that is what will be make me an effective legislator in Trenton.
I'm a small business owner – I have a chain of community magazines and newspapers covering different areas of Monmouth County. I also own a retail store in Hazlet which does embroidery, t-shirts, banners and personalized gifts. I serve as a member of the Board of Directors for the Northern Monmouth Chamber of Commerce and as President of the Hazlet Business Owners Association. I also serve on the Board of Trustees for Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Monmouth and Middlesex Counties. That is my day job. My assembly runningmate Marilyn Schlossbach is a talented restauranteur. She owns and operates several restaurants in Asbury Park, Normandy Beach and Shrewsbury, including the popular Langosta Lounge on the Asbury boardwalk. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, she opens the doors of her restaurant to feed anyone and everyone in Asbury Park. Her philanthropy has won her recognition among her peers and customers. Marilyn also serves as the Board of Directors for the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce and on the Board of the Asbury Park Urban Enterprise Zone. She is also very active with Clean Action Ocean and the Surfriders Foundation. Our Senate runningmate, Ray Santiago, is a former New York City prosecutor who has been a Freehold Borough attorney for the past 8 years, operating a small business that serves clients throughout Monmouth County. He is very involved in the Monmouth County Bar Association, the cub scouts and other organizations in our community.
The three of us are business owners, not politicians and we share a sense of values that will shake New Jersey government up.
In the upcoming weeks, we will launch a website and formally launch our campaign. In the mean time, we are aggressively fundraising to put out strong numbers for the quarter.
We will be welcoming Congressman Jared Polis, the first openly gay man elected to Congress, to our district on May 26th. The three of us stand united behind our brothers and sisters who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. Unlike the incumbent, Senator Jennifer Beck, who voted against marriage equality, who probably never realized she would ever be representing communities like Ocean Grove and Asbury Park now (regretting that vote yet Jen?) – we stand for values of equality for all New Jerseyians.
Imagine what happens to Governor Christie when halfway through his term, Democrats once again get elected to the legislature from Monmouth County – the same county he stomped all over 2 years ago. If we get in, we will build to make sure Chris Christie does not walk all over us again in 2013.
During the next several weeks and months, we will be updating you on our race and our campaign to stand up for Democratic principles. We hope you will join us! We can't win this race without you!

>Santiago convinced he has a shot in newly configured LD 11
>By Max Pizzaro @ PolitickerNJ
Still reeling from Gov. Chris Christie's 2009 cannonball that undid their meticulously constructed designs for county control, Monmouth County Democrats are trying to re-inflate enthusiasm around the candidacies of Freeholder Amy Mallet and an 11th District legislative slate that benefits from redistricting.
At the the top of the ticket for the Democrats as they try to unseat state Sen. Jennifer Beck, (R-12), of Red Bank stands Ray Santiago of Freehold Township, a Puerto Rican born success story who grew up in Brooklyn and hung up the law shingle in lush Monmouth County about ten years.
Coming off back to back losses at the local level and deprived of the two years of fundraising he says he, of course, would have preferred, he took the short runway shot at a Senate candidacy based on redistricting and his belief that the district is winnable. Registration in a district composed in part of old 11th District towns, including Asbury Park and Long Branch, favors Democrats: 36,643 to 26,405 Republicans with an additional 68,899 undecided voters, but again, the overall trend lines in Monmouth have been steadily Republican in the Christie era.
Santiago plans to run against Beck in part on a platform of wanting to improve the schools funding formula in order to exert fairness for Monmouth County towns. Part of his argument for election includes the pitch that he will be more independent than Republicans forced into line by the animated Christie.
"I'm not a fan of Governor Christie's," Santiago told PolitickerNJ.com. "I don't like the mannerism in which he makes his case. It's my way or the highway. Moreover, all of his talk of cuts simply forces the towns to raise taxes at the local level."
As for Beck, "What positive things has she done?" Santiago wanted to know.
Challenged to explain how he thinks another lawyer in Trenton can make the case to regular voters that he would effectively answer their constituent needs, Santiago said, "As an attorney, I have first-hand knowledge of how these laws impact people. Who better to draft and create legislation? I would say this, too, importantly, my sense of the law – my sense of my profession – is that it is the service of human need. The way I approach the law, it is in service of the disadvantaged."

Launched in 2011, this award-winning lifestyle brand is now sold in more than 60 countries, with 40+ Ccilu stores in Asia and a permanent presence established in North America, under the Ccilu USA banner.
Ccilu is a Japanese footwear brand known for creating technologies focusing on lightweight, comfortable and sustainable footwear as well as sock products. It was launched in 2011 and is now sold in more than sixty countries around the world with more than forty Ccilu stores in Asia and a permanent presence established in North America under the Ccilu USA banner.
"Ccilu" (CHEE-loo) means "liberate" in Japanese, and "liberate yourself" is our call to action, a reminder that we each have the power to defy limitations. For Ccilu, this means bringing our creativity and independent spirit to footwear evolution. Thanks to Ccilu Footwear's revolutionary technologies, we are able to commit to light & flexible, instantly comfortable and sustainable footwear.
With our colors and styles, it would be natural to imprint ourselves as a lifestyle brand. Yet, to fully understand the Ccilu brand philosophy, you must know how style and technology live side by side, without limits. Our emphasis on liberation would lose meaning if we did not encourage our designers to give their imaginations free reign. For us, innovation drives development on every front, something our loyal and growing fan base appreciates.
"Art and science are meant to intersect," says CEO/Founder Wilson Hsu, who earned a degree in Mathematics and an MBA, and left a successful banking career to design footwear. "These values are universal, and with consumers in the US now embracing us, we've truly become a global brand."
"For the 19th Hole and Beyond." The new PGA TOUR Collection by Ccilu reflects the individualism, energy and pursuit of excellence shared by men and women, on and off the golf course. PGA TOUR has been reaching beyond the core golf fan to attract new and diverse segments to the sport. This Collection speaks to a new generation of golf enthusiasts, and to a growing audience that's excited, open and full of energy, just like us.
Rovmia, the first product from Ccilu's new footwear collection enriched with Swarovski® crystals, also features Ccilu's award-winning Stepping Stones technology. We anticipated a positive reaction, but the combination surpassed our expectations, quickly selling out. The Rovmia, and much more, will soon be available worldwide, spanning sandals, sneakers and boots, all embellished with crystals from Swarovski®. From Superman, Wonderwoman, Batman, Aquaman, to Scooby-Doo, Looney Tunes, and Peanuts, the Warner Bros. stable of classic characters will all be enjoying a new mode of expression via Ccilu's role as Warner Bros.' global exclusive EVA-based footwear partner, for all genders.
Technology has always been at the core of Ccilu footwear. The liberation through tech-savvy shoes started as a means to create a lighter shoe and later to fuse fashion and function. Since then, Ccilu footwear technology has created a new benchmark, with our core focus on improving wellness, as well as balance and now, sustainability.
In 2013, Ccilu introduced CCILUCEELL to the world. By using this eco-friendly technology Ccilu created an ultralight shoe with only 70 grams.
SKIVE-ON, launched in 2017, has the superior technology of offering insane flexibility. It is bottomed-up with 100+ completely independent and highly resilient "dots" in each pair of Ccilu shoes and brings extreme comfort as well as flexibility to our customers.
With DIFFUSION, we took home some awards by making boots for any weather, that are an antidote to heavy, thick, clunky winter boots.
In 2018, Ccilu combined traditional oriental medicine with our shoes during the creation of Stepping Stones. Featuring acupressure, it efficiently improves circulation and wellness. This alone earned us the Red Dot Award 2018.
Then the next year, our XpreSole green technology was acknowledged by the Red Dot Award with a 2019 Honorable Mention for Product Design. XpreSole recycles spent coffee grounds into a pair of soft, flexible and light shoes which help our planet by reducing waste and minimizing the use of petroleum.
HeelioTech was then born, the technology that treats your feet with a locked-in fit and unparalleled comfort. With the molded heel cavity and the seamless bralette material, it treats your feet to a luxurious experience with a combination of lightweight, flexible, cushioning, skid-proof and anti-wear shoes.
AirQlation, the technology that debuted with the PGA TOUR Collection by Ccilu features the ETPU insole technology and gives you an experience of cool comfort in both formal and casual moments throughout your daily life.
By breaking down 15 ocean plastic bottles into pellets and turning the pellets into fibers, the GreenPlax shoe was born! Every major component of this footwear – including the upper fabrics, insole and outsole – is made from recycled plastic. This GreenPlax technology is another step towards a greener environment and has earned us the Silver Label of A'Design Award & Competition in 2020

Wilson Hsu CEO. CCILU International Inc.
When Ccilu USA first sponsored the World of Dance Winners Circle in 2017, we were supporting a live competition tour that dovetailed with our message of self-expression, individuality, and walking on air. "World of Dance" on NBC – starring J Lo, Jena Dewan, Derek Hough and NE-YO – turned a niche tour into a media behemoth, but the message is still the same: joy and music are universal. Ccilu USA and World of Dance have partnered fortwo more seasons; Ccilu is now global sponsor of the Winners Circle, covering dance lifestyle events in 25+ countries, spanning the U.S., Europe, South America, and Asia. The adventure is just beginning.
Step forward, give back. Each design, innovation and accolade must be complemented by compassion. In establishing Ccilu's presence in the USA, one of our priorities was to align with 4 outstanding charitable causes. With the donation of 100,000 pairs of new Ccilu shoes, as sponsor of the Soles4Souls Travel Program, Ccilu has given shoes to those in need in Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Guatemala, Ecuador and Costa Rica. Ccilu shoes have also been used in relief efforts here at home, helping hurricane victims in Texas and Puerto Rico. Our #StepForwardGiveBack initiative continues to expand, with annual gifts of new shoes to teachers in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week.
Ccilu's first product, 2011's "Amazon Summer," won the Silver Award of the Best Designed Products in the 72nd Tokyo International Gift Show. Our brand continued to innovate with its Horizon and Diffusion collections, taking the two top honors at Italy's 2017 A'Design Awards, the world's largest international design competition. The Stepping Stones sandal, from Ccilu Footwear and technological innovator Monique Rini, was honored with 2018's Red Dot Design Award for Fashion & Lifestyle Accessories. In 2019, Ccilu was recognized once again by Red Dot, this time for its XpreSole technology, set to reduce the harmful effects of spent coffee grounds by recycling them into footwear. This ongoing commitment to style and structure spans the Ccilu Footwear brand and its licenses of top brands in Japan, Europe and the Asia Pacific region.

TV Program Description
Original PBS Broadcast Date: February 8, 2005
Viking Deception homepage
On the eve of Columbus Day, 1965, Yale University announced the acquisition of a previously unknown map that showed a large island labeled "Vinland" in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The map supposedly dated from about 1440, half a century before Columbus made his first voyage to America. Was this proof that the Vikings discovered the New World and that perhaps their knowledge guided Columbus? NOVA weighs the evidence on "The Viking Deception."
Behind the map's wrinkled parchment and faded ink lies a tale of ancient explorers, learned priests, shady book dealers, skeptical scholars, and dueling scientists. In the four decades since its public debut, the Vinland Map has been tested and retested. Many experts are convinced it is a fake, but others just as fervently think it's genuine. Some of the world's foremost authorities on the subject help NOVA sort out the issues.
Historian Kirsten Seaver, author of Maps, Myths, and Men: The Story of the Vinland Map, provides background on the Vikings as well as the mysterious events surrounding the appearance of the map. Scientists Anna Teetsov of McCrone Associates, Inc., Thomas Cahill of the University of California, Davis, and Robin Clark and Katherine Brown of University College London discuss their independent tests of the ink, which is unlike any known ink used in a medieval manuscript and appears to consist of two differently pigmented layers. (To examine the Vinland Map up close, see The Map in Question.)
Art historian and calligrapher Brody Neuenschwander illustrates the methods and materials used by medieval scribes—a key piece of evidence in interpreting the conflicting data on the ink. Also participating are Paul Saenger, Curator of Rare Books at the Newberry Library, Michael Henchman, Professor of Chemistry at Brandeis University, and others.
The story of the Vinland Map began in 1957 when two book dealers, including an Italian named Enzo Ferrajoli, approached the British Museum with an intriguing medieval manuscript that contained an astonishing map. The curator in charge was suspicious, especially since Ferrajoli would not reveal anything about the map's prior history.
Ferrajoli had better luck with a young American dealer named Laurence Witten, who bought the map and the accompanying manuscript for $3,500 and then set about authenticating it before offering it to his alma mater, Yale University. Witten's proof of the map's authenticity was based on a chance discovery: the wormholes on the map exactly match those in a completely different manuscript that came to Witten's attention. This proved that the map and the manuscript were once bound together, presumably for a considerable period of time. Since the manuscript could be confidently dated to the mid-15th century, the map could be as well.
Yale alumnus Paul Mellon then purchased the map and the manuscripts for an undisclosed sum of money, reportedly hundreds of thousands of dollars, and donated the material to the university. On October 11, 1965, the Vinland Map was finally announced to the world. Then the trouble began.
One problem was that Mellon had insisted that the map be kept a secret while a scholarly volume was prepared to coincide with the announcement. This prevented all but a handful of experts from evaluating the material. A more serious problem arose in 1974 when chemist Walter McCrone reported that tests showed the map's ink contained a 20th-century synthetic chemical. In 1987, chemist Thomas Cahill challenged McCrone's finding. But in 2002 chemists Robin Clark and Katherine Brown refuted Cahill.
The case for forgery has been further bolstered by recent radioactive carbon tests suggesting that the map was probably interfered with during the period of extensive nuclear testing in the early 1950s. (To see genuine medieval maps that the counterfeiter likely drew from, see The Forger's Inspiration.)
Adding up all the scientific evidence, the verdict is clear: beyond all reasonable doubt, the Vinland Map is a fake. But where did it come from? NOVA traces the background of Ferrajoli, the first recorded seller of the map, whose shady dealings lead into a fascinating labyrinth of scholarly skullduggery and political intrigue.
Is the Vinland Map real or a first-rate forgery?
The Forger's Inspiration
Early maps and tales likely influenced the Vinland Map's author.

The following essay by the founding editor appeared in the first issue of the Jewish Journal of Sociology. We reprint it here in part as a tribute to Ginsberg's contribution, and in part because it is an essay that deserves revisiting. While it is very much of its time – 1959, less than a decade and a half after the holocaust, before the success of the American civil rights movement and while commonwealth immigration to the UK was still in process – it remains an exemplary piece of clear yet profound thinking. It also demonstrates how 'Jewish' issues can and should be at the heart of an engagement with wider issues in the social sciences.

Argument: Sri Lanka's Political Shake-Up Is a Win for China Sri Lanka's Political Shake-Up Is a Win fo...
Sri Lanka's Political Shake-Up Is a Win for China
Former strongman Mahinda Rajapaksa's resurgence shows the limitations of U.S. economic diplomacy.
By Bharath Gopalaswamy
| October 29, 2018, 3:54 PM
Sri Lanka's newly appointed prime minister, Mahinda Rajapaksa, waves to supporters in Colombo on Oct. 29. (Ishara S. Kodikara/AFP/Getty Images)
On Friday, Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena withdrew his United People's Freedom Alliance from the government's ruling coalition without warning, fired Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, and appointed former President Mahinda Rajapaksa to the post. On Saturday, he temporarily suspended Parliament, plunging the country into a constitutional crisis.
Sri Lanka's sudden political reorganization will empower the former strongman Rajapaksa, whose new party enjoyed unexpected success in the country's February local elections and rattled the political establishment. His resurgence means a second chance for China's attempts to play a dominant role in the island's politics and development, and it serves as a significant impediment to U.S. efforts for greater engagement in the Indo-Pacific.
As president from 2005 to 2015, Rajapaksa used heavy-handed tactics to end the country's decadeslong civil war, drawing accusations of war crimes, while encouraging large-scale Chinese investment to spur economic growth. His return to office undermines efforts to hold former military officials accountable for war crimes committed during the final years of Sri Lanka's war against the Tamil Tigers and jeopardizes ongoing reconciliation efforts with the country's large Tamil minority. Sirisena, Rajapaksa's successor, was first elected on promises to dilute the power of the executive and to address the abuses of the Rajapaksa regime. Now the two men find themselves partners in power.
Under Rajapaksa, Sri Lanka engaged in an expensive and poorly conceived spree of infrastructure spending to stimulate growth. During his tenure, the country undertook numerous loss-making projects financed and built by China, including the Magampura Mahinda Rajapaksa Port in Hambantota and the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport—known as the "world's emptiest airport"—both in the country's south.
Rather than spur sustained economic growth, these projects have driven Sri Lanka into unsustainable debt and jeopardized the country's sovereignty. Foreign debt exploded from 36 percent of GDP in 2010 to 94 percent in 2015, prompting the country to pursue debt relief from the IMF in 2016.
In December 2017, Sri Lanka offered a controlling stake in the Magampura Mahinda Rajapaksa Port to China on a 99-year lease to service the country's unsustainable debt, sparking alarm among international observers that China might be using debt leverage to gain strategic concessions in the Indian Ocean. The acquisition provided Beijing with a deepwater port in the region in which it can dock its navy, off the coast of its key regional competitor, India.
The Sri Lankan Finance Ministry warned in May that the country is approaching another debt crisis despite attempts to service existing agreements, and payments on interest and capital are projected to total $4.28 billion in 2019, accounting for about 5 percent of Sri Lanka's annual GDP.
Yet the reaction against China's debt-trap diplomacy has been sharp among numerous countries targeted by its Belt and Road Initiative, including Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and the Maldives. This presents an opportunity for Washington to loosen Beijing's hold and to assume a greater role as development financiers in the Indian Ocean.
The United States has taken some promising steps toward improving its role in the region. The successful passage of the Better Utilization of Investments Leading to Development Act this fall more than doubled U.S. development finance resources and implemented critical reforms in the structure of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, expanding the potential for U.S. development finance. And growing clarity surrounding the tenets of the Trump administration's "free and open Indo-Pacific" vision, including the support of good governance, open access to seas and airways, transparent and fair agreements between nations, and improved regional connectivity provides a core framework for U.S. engagement in the region.
But these efforts could be thrown off balance by Rajapaksa's return to power. Sri Lanka continues to maintain its economic relationship with Beijing despite the problems it poses, in large part due to a continued supply of development funds. Chinese investors have moved forward with a plan to construct a Chinese investment zone in Hambantota, the site of the loss-making port, despite local protests. And in July, Sirisena personally accepted a grant of 2 billion yuan ($295 million at the time) from Beijing on behalf of the Sri Lankan government, widely interpreted as an attempt to buy influence among policymakers. Sri Lanka seems increasingly unlikely to be pried out of China's hold by U.S. efforts.
Rajapaksa's appointment illustrates the limitations of U.S. economic diplomacy and development finance policy in the Indo-Pacific. Despite recent reforms and rhetoric, the Trump administration has yet to find a realistic alternative to the sheer scale and availability of Chinese financing for infrastructure development in the Indian Ocean. Until the United States is both willing and able to engage with countries in the Indo-Pacific on an individual basis and to provide mutually beneficial development financing on a scale comparable to China's, leaders pursuing rapid growth and infrastructure development will continue to turn to Beijing for opportunities, regardless of concerns about predatory or coercive lending behavior.
If the United States and its allies are serious about playing a major role in the Indo-Pacific, U.S. policymakers must explore options to create more attractive and mutually beneficial investments for recipient countries. Rajapaksa may enjoy deep ties with Beijing, but it is not too late for Washington to rethink its approach to the remaining countries in the region.

Q: How to join results from with operator in Laravel? I use query builder for execution inquiries to db like as:
$result = Order::with("product", "images");

As  result I get response with two nested objects inside:
{["product" : [{}], "images" : [{}]]}

How can I join these two objects to one, that to get the following response:
{"title" : "Product name", "price" : 3, "images" :{}, "order" : {} }

A: You should use nested eager loading here:
Order::with('products.images')->first();

If you want to get an array or JSON instead of collection, use toArray() or toJson() methods on collection.

June 30, 2010 12:49 pm June 30, 2010 12:49 pm
Gen. David H. Petraeus was approved as the new military commander in Afghanistan without Senate opposition Wednesday afternoon as the Obama administration and Congress moved rapidly to replace Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal.
The Senate voted 99-to-0 to approve General Petraeus's nomination after his appearance Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee, where he received strong support despite Republican skepticism toward the administration's plans to begin withdrawing troops from Afghanistan in July 2011.
Senator Carl Levin, the Michigan Democrat who is chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said the general, previously the commander in Iraq, would "bring highly experienced leadership and a profound understanding of the president's strategy in Afghanistan."
Senator John McCain of Arizona, the senior Republican on the panel, praised General Petraeus as "one of the finest military leaders our country has ever produced" while he continued to warn against a withdrawal before the military had accomplished its mission.
"The 2011 withdrawal date increasingly looks unrealistic," Mr. McCain said.
President Obama decided to put General Petraeus in charge in Afghanistan after General McChrystal and his aides were quoted making derogatory comments about the administration in an article in Rolling Stone magazine.

Laguna ready for season of change
By Mike Sciacca
They finally were able to put on the pads Monday.
Having spent several weeks during the summer in non-contact combat, the Breakers were ready to do some hitting. Two-a-day practices got underway earlier this week for the Laguna Beach High football team, sessions that will eventual tail off to one-a-days leading up to a Sept. 9 season opener. The Breakers will sport a new look in a few facets of their game in 2011, and it starts at the top.
Mike Churchill is at the reigns of the program for the first time, taking over for Jonathan Todd, who stepped down in December.
Churchill has been a head coach at 11 schools, "most notably," he said, at Riverside Poly, Redlands and Clovis West. His Poly teams won back-to-back CIF championship in 1983-84. In 20 years as a head football coach, his teams won eight league championships, made the playoffs 13 times and both his CIF-champion Poly teams were named "mythical" State champion. Churchill was named CIF Eastern Conference ('83) and CIF Big-5 Conference ('84) Coach of the Year.
Now, he heads a Laguna Beach program that has enjoyed moderate success during the last five years. He takes over a team that has several talented players returning from a 3-7 squad that featured record-setting play from a pair of players who graduated in June, quarterback Austin Paxson and receiver Chris Paul.
"It's been a good week so far," Churchill said Wednesday of the official start to practice. "The kids are excited and working hard. We are lacking in some basic fundamentals, in my opinion, but we're teaching them through drills and some of these kids are playing in positions that they aren't used to. One thing that we are doing differently this year is that we are coaching our freshman team alongside our varsity team."
A few players in new roles include 2010 all-league defensive back Robert Clemons moving to linebacker. Spencer Anderson made a big switch by moving from left guard to split receiver. Bobby Weiland, an offensive starter last year, is now a two-way lineman.
Laguna will host University in a Sept. 2 scrimmage and then officially open its season at 7 p.m. Sept. 9 at Guyer Field against Webb School of Claremont.
Below is a capsule look at the 2011 Breakers:
Head coach: Mike Churchill (first year)
Coaching staff: Bill Douglass (secondary/offensive backs); Joe Laffey (secondary/quarterbacks); Spencer Harrell (OL/DL); Mike Colucci (receivers); Butch Fredlow (defensive line); Corey Brown (linebackers/receivers).
2010 record: 3-7
2010 league results: 2-3 (fourth place)
2010 CIF playoffs: Did not qualify
Type of offense: Delaware Wing T
Type of Defense: 50 slant
Returning starters: 6 offense/4 defense
Returning with honors: Robert Clemons, DB, all-league, Jr.
Key losses: Austin Paxson (quarterback); Chris Paul (receiver/defensive back)
Coach's outlook: "I like our chances," Churchill said. "The team, although young, has good speed and a great attitude. We are suffering from a lack of depth and we do not have a good reputation for playing defense. We must get better, much better, on defense to contend."
Scheduling conflicts: Churchill acknowledged that Laguna has not fared well in the early portion of the season in recent years. "We cannot start slow and still meet our goals," he said. "Every game is important…the next game is the most important. One step at a time."
Early hit: The Breakers will be without linebacker/guard Kevin Pham, whom Churchill said suffered an injury during a contact drill (punt coverage) during summer ball. The junior, he said, suffered a spiral break and dislocation to his left leg that required surgery. "He's a great kid," Churchill said. "All he wanted to know through all of this is if he will miss the entire season. We're not sure at this time."
Quarterback: Larry Stewart, Jr.; Andres De La Rosa, Soph.; Michael Iannotti, Sr. Stewart steps into the starting role although he did start a few games last year for an injured Austin Paxson. Churchill said Stewart is "loaded with talent."
Backfield: Robert Clemons, wingback, Jr.; Norton Penney, halfback, Sr.; Drake Martinez, running back, Jr.; Ricky Coury, Fullback, Jr.; Zach Jaffe, running back, Sr.; Nathan Lancaster, running back, Soph.; Jacob Kunkel, running back, Soph.; J.P. Wollam, running back, Soph.; Steven Harrison, fullback, Soph. Churchill said Clemons has "speed," Penney was the Orange Coast League's 110 meter dash champion as a sophomore and Martinez has the "most raw talent" on team.
Offensive line: Ricky Delatorre, three-year starter, Sr.; Bobby Weiland, Jr.; Elijah Martinez, Jr.; Kevin Pham, Jr.; Tyler Davidson, center, Jr.; Karl VonSchimpf, Soph.; Michael Sofferman, Soph.; Joe Casey, Jr.; Blake Hester, Jr.; Spencer Anderson, Jr.; Adam Farsheed, Jr.; Mickey Myhan, Soph.; Cameron Bilbrey, Sr.; Stephen Brewer, Soph.; Colin Gauthier, Soph.; Warren Abbate, Jr.
Receivers: Derek Reigel, three-year starter, Sr.; Bryan Ludloff, Soph.; Kevin Ulibarri, Sr.; Robbie McInerny, Jr.; Ritchie Nunis, Soph.; Garrett Burk, Soph.; Dylan Hunter, tight end, Jr.; Travis Clawson, tight end, Sr.
Line: Ricky Delatorre, Sr.; Bobby Weiland, Jr.; Elijah Martinez, Jr.; Tyler Davidson, Jr.; Karl VonSchimpf, Soph.; Blake Hester, Jr.; Mickey Myhan, Soph.; Stephen Brewer, Soph.; Colin Gauthier, Soph.; Warren Abbate, Jr.; Dylan Hunter, Jr.

Another reinsurer is taking its first step into the third-party capital asset management arena by launching a vehicle dedicated to attracting investors capital to put it to use underwriting collateralized reinsurance business. Bermuda based Everest Re Group Ltd. announced the formation and launch of Bermuda domiciled special purpose reinsurer Mt. Logan Re, Ltd. with $250m of raised capital at the end last week.
Everest Re has itself provided $50m of capital to help get Mt. Logan Re off the ground and have attracted around another $200m of third-party capital from investors reaching their initial target capitalisation of $250m. Mt. Logan Re will underwrite worldwide property catastrophe reinsurance business on a fully collateralized basis.
Pagnani has a strong track record in the reinsurance market and also capital markets convergence, making him an apt choice for the role. Most recently Pagnani was a Partner with TigerRisk, a broker focusing on catastrophe risk and active in the industry loss warranty (ILW) market. Prior to that he was CEO of Bermuda reinsurance startup Ascendant Reinsurance where the firm focused on catastrophe derivatives, before that he was with Quanta Reinsurance and even earlier major reinsurers Swiss Re and Zurich Re.
Everest Re are the latest in a growing list of reinsurers who have shown interest in leveraging capital from third-party investors for writing collateralized reinsurance business. Whether in fund or sidecar form launches of these vehicles have always been a feature of the convergence market but 2013 looks like it could see more launches than a typical underwriting year as reinsurers take advantage of investor appetite for profiting from the returns that can be made from participating in reinsurance and catastrophe risk businesses.
Other recent sidecar and startup launches include: Lancashire with the launch of Saltire Re I, Alterra increasing the capitalisation of New Point V, RenaissanceRe with Upsilon Re II, Argo Group launching the innovative Harambee Re and Validus with their latest AlphaCat 2013 Ltd.
