Hi I'm new to Webydo and overall I'm impressed with it.
1. After you selecting text there is no indication what colour it is in text box menu at the top. It really should display either the colour or the hex code.
2. As far I can tell there is no roll-over effects apart from the nav menu.
First of all, this a great service!
This might be available already but can you export your finished design?
The ability to completely package all the images, text styles, html, css etc and either export/save it to your desktop would be a massive help to designer who aren't or don't want to be html gurus.
Scaleable charges depending on the amount of pages designed even at £30 / £50 / £70 etc it would be viable for most small one man design teams to get professional results to their clients own in-house IT/Marketing etc to manage.
The depth of visual design and widgets is good, but we there will always be something that needs a little bit more to achieve.
Squarespace & Unbounce are good reference examples where this is supported.
We're happy to announce that you now have the ability to add your own code to any section (including the "Head" section) of your Webydo sites.
You may add and edit the code in all the site's sections in order to have full control of your site, and to be able to easily embed widgets that need code to be added to different sections of a page.
A think a few people have brought this up but could we have a drop down menu system option added to the menu bar.
Would be great to be able to offer our clients this as a lot of other websites out there do it.
Unless I'm missing it, it would be nice to have our photos that we upload be "stored" and allow us to organise them into folders and such, like a file browser.
I am not sure if this issue has been mentioned or if I have can not figure out how to do it.
It would be nice to have a url with a specific/ custom name.
How about three preview modes, desktop, tablet and mobile. This way you will instantly see how your design is looking across all devices and amend it accordingly?
whether it is possible to make a fixed widget?
We have just finished the production process of the "Pin Position" feature!
It will allow you to keep your most important elements on the screen when scrolling through your website.
After you pin the position of an element, it will appear as if it is "floating" on the site.
From fixed menus to headers and side bars, there are endless inspiring examples of how to use fixed elements.
So please check it out, and tell us how it feels.
For those of us that aren't SEO wizards an instruction manual explaining what each of the SEO fields does and how to use them would be more than useful!
I would like to be able to self host the sites I create with Webydo... is that possible? I don't mind paying for a premium account, but I would like the security of knowing that I have all the files (and control of them) should your company ever close or if I decide to use different tools to create future websites after creating some with Webydo. From the videos and tutorials, I don't forsee that happening (it's seems like an awesome tool) but you never know and I want control of what I create.
URL spoofing reveals all the pre-launch designs that people are working on. Maybe a simple password to protect them?
would be nice if i could bill my clients directly from the webydo dashboard.
Thanks for the great wrok!
It can be helpful to have revisions history, especially for the CMS user, so that when my clients is updating content and need to go back to a former version, they could do that easily. There can be a list of versions like you have on a google doc, or list of actions like the History function on Adobe Photoshop.
I know it is possible to add any font by CSS3 ... but I would like to have more fonts available to create menus, 600 fonts available would be great! remembering that there are over 600 fonts "web safe"
I'm happy to inform you that the Menu Element font list has now been updated.
You may now choose from hundreds of free open-source fonts which are optimized for the web, ensuring accurate typography and manifesting your website's desired look & feel.
It would be great to have the ability to export the finished project to several popular CMS like Joomla!, WordPress, etс.
We are very excited to announce that we have just released new snapping abilities to Webydo.
We hope it will meet the needs of the community!
A thumbnail gallery is the most basic thing ever, I can only choose between 2 types of gallery and those aren't really an option for me now.
1. I can see all my images in small squares/rectangles.
2. Enable or disable pagination (as in collections) if there are too many images.
3. Click a thumbnail and see a pop-up with a bigger image.
4. When in pop-up mode, be able to use arrows to see the next or previous images without going back to the thumbnails.
We are happy to let you know that new galleries have been added in the studio, including a thumbnail gallery.
Try them and tell us what you think.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The 2018 National Runner-Up and three-time CCSA conference champion Florida State beach volleyball team announced its 2019 spring schedule on Monday (1/7). The schedule is headlined by a program-record four home events, tournaments in five different states and eight meetings with 2018 NCAA Championship teams.
The Seminoles are coming off of the program's best season to-date in 2018, finishing with a program-best 33 wins and the team's third National Runner-Up finish – advancing through the winner's bracket and finishing with only one loss in the tournament for the first time.
The team begins its eighth season in 2019 and fourth under head coach Brooke Niles. Since 2016 – when beach volleyball became an NCAA sanctioned sport and the Seminoles joined the CCSA – FSU has gone undefeated against all teams east of California.
The Seminoles hit the ground running in the first week of the season, hosting CCSA opponents LSU, South Carolina and Tulane, as well as Tampa and AVCA Top-10 Cal Poly in its first tournament. This is the first season in program history that the Seminoles will start with a home tournament.
From there, the Seminoles head south to Boca Raton to compete in FAU's Beach Burrow Bash the first weekend of March, and then will spend Spring Break in California once again. Out west, the team will face USC at Merle Norman Stadium in Los Angeles before competing in the East Meets West Invitational, where it will face Pepperdine along with the three teams the Seminoles defeated in last year's NCAA Championship: Hawaii, UCLA and USC.
FSU will then host back-to-back events, with the Garnet & Gold Scrimmage on March 16 and the team's second home tournament on the 22nd and 23rd, where they will host Stetson, Arizona and Austin Peay. The Seminoles then close out Match at FIU's Surf 'N' Turf Invitational in Miami.
The final month of the regular season is led by FSU's fourth home event, where the team will host conference opponents Georgia State, FAU and FIU. Dual match season will end in Fort Worth Texas, as the Seminoles face ULM, New Orleans, and conference opponents UAB and TCU in the Horned Frogs' first season in the CCSA.
Florida State will look for its fourth-straight CCSA Conference title at the end of April in Emerson, Ga. Southern Miss and TCU joined the conference prior to the 2018-19 academic year, expanding the conference to 12 teams. The Seminoles will then look for their eighth-straight NCAA Championship bid after a week off to prepare for another championship run.

Prime Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday said he had ordered Military Police commander Sao Sokha to open an investigation into the alleged death from torture of one of five people detained over a land dispute in Banteay Meanchey province on January 1.
The prime minister was speaking at the 4th media correspondents' gala on Tuesday evening at the Koh Pich Convention and Exhibition Centre.
"A case has emerged, and I have ordered Keo Ramy [the head of the government's human rights body] and Sao Sokha to form a committee to immediately investigate an alleged death from torture in Banteay Meanchey province. If this is true, those responsible must be arrested and brought to justice," Hun Sen said.
Tuy Sros, a representative for land disputants in Chrey Village in O'Chrov district's Changha commune, died on January 1, reportedly after Military Police officials in Banteay Meanchey province detained him at the station from December 28-31.
The victim died on January 1 on the way to a hospital for treatment after being remanded at the provincial prison for a day, the Ministry of Interior's General Department of Prisons spokesman Nuth Savna said.
Sokha, who is also deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF), said the committee was set up on Monday.
"The committee is tasked with investigating what happened at the Banteay Meanchey provincial Military police station. The committee will inspect the practices of the provincial head of the Military Police regarding the execution of its role and duties, as well as whether it had adhered to the rules of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces," he said.
The National Committee Against Torture had also begun an investigation to seek justice for the victim.
National Military Police spokesman Eng Hy said on Wednesday that the National Military Police committee had arrived in the province on Monday to conduct its probe. "When it is concluded, we will make a report," Hy said.
One of those involved in the land dispute said he and four other people similarly involved in the dispute had been tortured after holding a protest.
Nouv Noeun, 62, said on Wednesday that he and two other victims had reported provincial Military Police commander Born Bin and another official to the local court for intentional violence and torture, which had resulted in Sros' death.
He and four others locked in the dispute had protested outside the provincial hall on December 28 after having not received a resolution from authorities.
Some 40 provincial military policemen then turned up, he said, and arrested and beat them. They were driven to the provincial Military Police headquarters, where they were then tortured.
"We were peacefully protesting the land dispute. We had with us only parcels of rice and drinking water as we demanded compensation. At around 1 pm, the Military Police arrived and arrested us.
"They pushed the five of us into a car, beating and kicking us in the car and at the police station. It was so painful, we nearly died.
"They hit me until my teeth broke . . . I am still suffering. I have high blood pressure and my body shakes. I don't know where to get treatment because I am so poor. I have no money," Noeun said.
Sam Chankea, the provincial coordinator for rights group Adhoc, said while it was good that Hun Sen had intervened in the case, authorities should be enforcing the law transparently without having to be ordered to do so by the prime minister.
"The victims are still demanding justice. Next time, the sub-national authorities should not wait until the prime minister [orders] them to take action. If there hadn't been intervention [from the prime minister], the case would have remained dormant.
"Four of the victims survived, but they are now so afraid that they will never do anything again after being tortured at the provincial military police headquarters," Chankea said.

Gene Drives Work in Mice (if They're Female)
By John Rennie +1 authors
Biologists have demonstrated for the first time that a controversial genetic engineering technology works, with caveats, in mammals.
The engineered genetic elements called gene drives, which can rapidly spread themselves throughout a population, may offer a superior way to breed specialized laboratory animals.
Gorkem Demir
Abstractions blogbiologyCRISPRDNAevolutiongeneticsgenomicssynthetic biologyAll topics
Conservationists and bioethicists often regard the packages of engineered DNA called "gene drives" with a mixture of wonder, excitement and dread. Gene drives violate the normal rules of inheritance by making sure they get passed down to all of their host organism's offspring, not just to half of them; they therefore have the unnerving potential to rapidly and irrevocably alter a population. Much of the controversy about gene drives has centered on the practicality (and hubris) of using them to control dangerous insect pests, since insects were about the only animals in which gene drives had been shown to work.
That has now changed. In a paper appearing today in Nature, biologists at the University of California, San Diego demonstrate for the first time that current gene drive technology also works — at least up to a point — in a mammal: the mouse. Their findings highlight the potential, but also the significant limitations, of putting gene drives to work in the real world. For at least some time to come, these kinds of "active genetics" technologies may be more useful as laboratory tools than as instruments for remaking nature.
Fred Gould, an entomologist and evolutionary biologist at North Carolina State University, likens gene drives to the fictional substance ice-nine in Kurt Vonnegut's novel Cat's Cradle: a bizarre form of ice that freezes all other water it touches. Gene drives spread fast because they are sets of genetic elements that spontaneously copy themselves from a maternal chromosome to a matching paternal one or vice versa. In the process of copying itself, the gene drive can also add, delete or modify genes at its insertion point. Back in 2003, gene drives were suggested as a theoretical possibility, but the advent of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in 2012 suddenly made them much more feasible.
Although a combination of legal restrictions, ethical concerns and fears of unintended consequences has held back gene drives from being tested in the wild, the allure of the hypothetical good they might do has compelled scientists to continue studying them. A well-regulated gene drive could arguably save millions of lives, for example, by rendering Anopheles mosquitoes resistant to infection by malaria parasites.
Interest has also been high in developing gene drives to rein in rats and mice, which as invasive species often acutely threaten wildlife. On Midway Island, a crucial albatross breeding ground in the North Pacific, the birds were nearly wiped out by predatory rats that arrived about a century ago. A massive poisoning campaign eliminated the rats and saved the albatrosses in 1995 — but conservationists would rather have a less blunt weapon for stopping unwanted mammals in other situations. (According to reports from a year ago, mice on Midway Island are now becoming a new threat to the birds.)
Yet what first drew the developmental biologist Kimberly Cooper to dabble in gene drive technology for mice was not conservation but evolution. In her laboratory at UCSD, she and her colleagues study the evolution of the jerboa, a long-legged rodent with a jumping, bipedal gait, which diverged from the mouse lineage tens of millions of years ago. Cooper and her colleagues are trying to find the unknown combination of genetic changes responsible for that evolutionary transformation by making lab mice carry incrementally more jerboa traits.
That kind of project is onerous with mammals, however, because of all that's involved in getting desired genes into individual animals through conventional breeding. Genetic experiments commonly need animals that are homozygous for a trait, meaning that they carry copies of the relevant gene on both their maternal and paternal chromosomes. To create a mouse that is homozygous for just three mutations of interest, researchers might need to cross hundreds or even thousands of mice with single-chromosome mutations. Cooper's jerboa project could easily turn out to need mice homozygous for 10 or more genes.
"I always thought that it would be impossible because the genetics of combining multiple things is a mess in mice," she said. "You need so many animals. It takes so much time and so much money."
But three years ago she was inspired to follow the lead of her UCSD colleagues Valentino Gantz and Ethan Bier, biologists who had recently demonstrated what they called "active genetics" in fruit flies. Active genetics refers to the use of genetic elements to boost the inheritance of specified traits beyond the normal 50-percent rate that Gregor Mendel first observed; Gantz and Bier classify gene drives as a self-perpetuating form of active genetics.
"I recognized the same technology could be used in the lab to ideally increase the rate of inheritance of an engineered version of a gene," Cooper said. It would also allow her to bring in genes from species other than mice. "You could make genetically complicated animals that maybe couldn't be made before."
As they describe in their new paper, Cooper and her team engineered an active-genetics mechanism that enabled a "marker" gene to spread quickly through a lineage of mice. Cooper emphasizes that what they made was not technically a gene drive: As a safety measure, the two components of her mechanism — one responsible for cutting the DNA, the other for targeting the cut — were separated into different parts of the genome. This separation prevented the mechanism from spreading through multiple generations uncontrollably. Nevertheless, its success served as a proof of concept for gene drives in mammals.
Even so, that success came with caveats. Unexpectedly, Cooper's active-genetics system didn't work in male mice, only in females. And even among the females, the mechanism worked only about 70 percent of the time at best.
"If someone were to try to build a gene drive using this type of mechanism right now, it wouldn't spread through a population very quickly and probably wouldn't persist," Cooper said. The limitation to females would reduce the efficiency of gene drives for developing new lines of lab animals, too, but it could at least speed up the breeding process.
She and her colleagues suspect that the gene-copying mechanism performed differently in males and females because of subtle differences in the ways that sperm and eggs are made. In an egg-making cell, pairs of chromosomes may line up with each other earlier in the production process, improving the odds that if one of the chromosomes gets cut, the cell will repair it with the desired DNA from its partner. "We might be able to improve the efficiency and make it work in males if we can get the timing right," Cooper said.
Anthony James, a molecular geneticist at the University of California, Irvine, said that, with some improvements, active genetics should eventually be useful for producing the complex lab animals that diverse fields need for their genetic studies, providing a far more efficient alternative to today's techniques. (James collaborated with Gantz and Bier on an experimental anti-malaria gene drive for mosquitoes in 2015.) Conventional breeding of mice with specific combinations of many genes might have taken a decade in the past, he said; active genetics might shorten that to one or two years.
Inserting genes into mice one by one with CRISPR would be another way to do it, but he believes active genetics will be superior to that, too. "Regular old CRISPR is good for modifying a gene that's already in there," he said. "But if you want to add genes, or swap them out and replace them, the gene drive system would be much better for that."
The enthusiasm expressed by Bruce Conklin, a geneticist at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco who wrote a commentary on Cooper's study for Nature, is more measured. "It's valuable, but with CRISPR, we can [already] make really complicated models really quickly," he said. Still, he hails the work for highlighting overlooked differences in male and female cell biology, and he thinks the active genetics approach it champions might aid understanding of DNA repair and other fundamental mechanisms in molecular biology.
Cooper sees a bright side in the fact that gene drives seem to be harder to create in mammals than in insects, given the controversy around their potential use. Improving the efficiency of active genetics in mammals will take some years. "In the meantime, we can have serious conversations about what can and should be done [with gene drives] in the wild," she said.

Brand Symbols
The most successful brands symbolize something beyond a simple, pragmatic offer.
Download Overview PDF
From the flags of nations, to religious icons, to the classical elements (earth, water, air, fire, and ether) of ancient philosophies, symbols communicate big ideas in small packages. Designers inherently recognize the power of symbols. As the world gets smaller and more interconnected, we need to be increasingly mindful where that power comes from.
Cultural Symbols
We live in a world of complex symbology, where symbols with deep cultural roots are modified, editorialized, and juxtaposed to create ever-new meaning. Graphic designers often serve as interpreters (or re-interpreters) of cultural symbols through graphic identities.
It's impossible to divorce symbols from cultures. That's why the same organization is known as the Red Cross Society in one part of the world and the Red Crescent Society in another. Launching a brand that spans cultures and relies on symbols requires research and diligence to ensure that the symbols have similar meaning in different parts of the world. Symbols inspired by nature present less risk because they are so universal.
Symbol languages from the worlds of technology, law, gaming, sports, or elsewhere might layer meaning onto a brand by way of a graphic identity that builds upon a symbol from one of these subcultures.
Symbol Vocabularies
Many identity programs integrate a system of symbols, drawing on the graphic identity as a foundation or touchstone for a symbol vocabulary. Extending a mark in this way adds to the brand meaning with a specific function.
In a corporate literature system or website, one symbol might suggest sales collateral while another suggests training materials. At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, this icon might represent ski jumping, that one, snowboarding.
Once learned, a system of pictograms can make the reading of washing functions or wayfinding systems more efficient.
Symbols should be clear, but often they assume a level of user learning. Provided you use them consistently, your symbol vocabulary will become familiar to your audience and immediate recall will increase. In the U.S., drivers don't think twice about the meaning of a white H on a blue rectangular sign (hospital) or a black X on a yellow circle (railroad crossing). A collection of consistently applied symbols can create a unique, recognizable graphic language for a brand.
Brand as Symbols
The best brands tend to symbolize something in a culture beyond the specific, pragmatic offer. In rare cases, brands themselves have risen to the level of becoming cultural icons.
When people buy bags prominently displaying the logo of a shoe company, get a tattoo of a computer company logo, or write a song about a car company, you know these brands symbolize something beyond shoes, computers, or cars. When a brand authentically connects itself to an idea that resonates with audiences—health, education, community, etc.—the brand symbolizes more than a business value proposition. Brands that are as much about belonging as they are about buying tend to build the greatest value over time.
Some brands aim to become symbols, inspiring their customers to join the club as well as use their product.

Greg Laswell - Three Flights From Alto Nido
Verdict: Like () +
Like with a few other artists recently, I was initially suspicious of Greg Laswell's sound. It was, at first, a little too on the pop side of the spectrum. As diverse as I like to think my taste is, I'm not much of a Top 40 kind of guy. It all sounds too methodical and soulless. Greg's music, at first, kind of had some similar qualities ... but by the third track I knew that there was so much more to this album than a few pop singles and a bunch of bullshit in between.
(tangent starts here)
My problem with "pop" is that it sounds like it's just going by a formula that has been well established as something that works with the human mind, and when you have a formula, all you have to do is plug yourself in the right way and you're a hit-maker. This is not how the world works, it's hella more complicated than that, but this is what the product sounds like to me, and when that's the case, something has gone terribly wrong. The formulaic songs don't have the life of an innovative song, and, thus, don't interest me. In art, there are a few respectable ways to go about things: traditional and innovative. There are those who like the music they listen to to sound like all the other songs they listen to. Fans of contemporary blues artists, that fit into this category, will probably not look too far back for music, and won't accept things too experimental. For them, the best era of blues is the contemporary stuff. This doesn't just go for blues. The other side of that, the innovative, searches for the songs that do something no one has done, or songs that have experimented in some way. The innovative fan doesn't always get music they like, but every once in a while they discover something that is pure gold, which makes it all the worth while.
I'm on the innovative side, for the most part. Like most continuum's, you can be anywhere on it at any given time. I admit it, sometimes I get in a Metal mood, but mostly I like to skip around. So when I hear something that sounds like it's trying to be like something else that has all ready been established as a working combination (ex: lets say I recognize that The Arcade Fire is just about the biggest band around these days, so I form a 7 piece orchestral indie rock group and write profound songs [okay, they're not Socrates, but just go with me on this one]. If I sounded like the Arcade fire, I would either be a rip off, a tribute, or I would be doing the music in the traditional style, adding no innovation.) I don't like it. Music shouldn't just be that easy. It's like building a plastic statue and calling it gold.
(tangent ends here)
Okay, all that said Greg Laswell's music seems to me to be what pop music a few years from now will look to in order to get it's tips. A few aspects of his music seems a little formulaic (vocal flow, production, song content, instruments, song structure), and, to my ear, whether or not he's using very awkward scales, that doesn't matter when it comes off like a pop song. A few of the tracks, because of this, kind of just bore me. The man has a wonderful voice, and can clearly write a song, but when I'm reminded of 1990's alt. rock, this doesn't speak of innovation.
Now that that's been said, I did, over all, enjoy the album. There are some undeniably beautiful songs, innovative and poppy all at the same time. It really is no surprise to find out that this is not his first album, because it sounds like it's fairly methodically composed, or, if anything, pretty well thought out. One song that stands out above all is I'd Be Lying. Anyone who can write a song in 5/4 and make it an unquestionable pop song is clearly a talented musician. It took me a minute to realize that it was, in fact, in 5/4. Seriously, well done Mr. Laswell. Other songs, such as The One I Love and And Then You have conventional/traditional qualities, but for some reason the damn things are just freaking awesome. I think it's that his voice really is carrying the album, and that, without them, they songs really could just be forgettable incidental music. That seems to be another pop quality that, right now, I'm going to forget about, because, despite my lust for innovation, sometimes it's nice to hear a good, fun song that sooths your spirit, and, for that, Greg Laswell can really deliver.

"The Chief Minister in a meeting with the Chief Secretary and Sugarcane Commissioner along with other high level officials directed that it should be ensured that sugar mill owners pay all the pending arrears of previous as well as the current crushing season to farmers," a top official of the Sugarcane Development Department told IANS on condition of anonymity.
Adityanath in the meeting also said that no laxity in this connection would be tolerated.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in its assembly election manifesto had assured the farmers that they would be paid within 14 days after purchase of their sugarcane by the millers.
The official said that a total of Rs 4,160 crore was pending as arrears with sugar mill owners for payment to sugarcane farmers for the current crushing season.
The official said around six sugar mills out of a total 116 have not paid dues to the farmers.
"For the current crushing season (2016-17) total amount to be paid was Rs 20,154 crore, against which Rs 15,996.87 crore has been paid to the farmers. Around 80 per cent payment has been made," the official added.
Acting on Adityanath's priorities, the Sugarcane Development Commissioner has issued fresh directions to the millers for payment of arrears within a month.
The official said Rs 223 crore was still not paid to sugarcane farmers for the previous crushing season of 2015-2016. Farmers have been paid Rs 17,780 crore for sugarcane for the previous crushing season.
"The CM also directed officials and sugar mill owners to pay the farmers within the stipulated time of 14 days," the official added.
The BJP in its election manifesto had promised to waive off loans of farmers in its first cabinet meeting if voted to power.
However, four working days have passed after Adityanath took oath as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and he has also distributed portfolios to his ministers, but no cabinet meeting has been convened.
Sources in the BJP said the government is working on the modalities of farm loan waiver and after the process gets completed the government would take appropriate action in this regard.

Art & Language è una collaborazione di artisti concettuali che ha subito molti cambiamenti da quando è stata creata alla fine degli anni sessanta. Il gruppo è stato fondato da artisti che condividevano il desideriodi combinare idee e preoccupazioni intellettuali con la creazione artistica. Il primo numero del giornale del gruppo, Art-Language, fu pubblicato nel novembre del 1969 a Chipping Norton, in Inghilterra, e ebbe un'influenza importante sull'arte concettuale negli Stati Uniti e nel Regno Unito.

Gli esordi

Il gruppo Art & Language è stato fondato nel 1967 nel Regno Unito da Terry Atkinson (nato nel 1939), David Bainbridge (nato nel 1941), Michael Baldwin (nato nel 1945) e Harold Hurrell (nato nel 1940).  Questi quattro artisti iniziarono la loro collaborazione intorno al 1966 mentre erano insegnanti d'arte a Coventry. Il nome del gruppo derivava dal loro giornale, Art-Language The Journal of conceptual art, all'inizio creato come una conversazione di lavoro nel 1966. Il gruppo era critico nei confronti di quelle che all'epoca erano considerate le pratiche del corrente prevalente dell'arte moderna. Nelle loro conversazioni di lavoro, hanno creato l'arte concettuale come parte delle loro discussioni.

Tra il 1968 e il 1982, il gruppo riunì quasi cinquanta persone. Tra i primi a raggiungere il gruppo c'erano critici e storici dell'arte, Charles Harrison e l'artista Mel Ramsden. All'inizio degli anni '70 raggiunsero il gruppo persone come Ian Burn, Michael Corris, Preston Heller, Graham Howard, Joseph Kosuth, Andrew Menard e Terry Smith. Seguirono due collaboratori di Coventry, Philip Pilkington e David Rushton. Il relativo grado di anonimato all'interno del gruppo continua ad avere un significato storico rilevante nella comunità artistica. A causa dell'incertezza delle liste esatte dei membri, è difficile sapere non solo chi erano tutti i contributori, ma anche quali fossero i loro esatti contributi.

Il primo numero di Art-Language The Journal of conceptual art (Volume 1, numero 1, maggio 1969) è sottotitolato The Journal of Conceptual Art. Con il secondo numero (Volume 1, Numero 2, febbraio 1970), divenne chiaro che c'erano opere d'arte concettuali e artisti concettuali che non si riconoscevano nella rivista. Per capire meglio lo scopo della rivista, il titolo fu abbandonato. L'Art-Language aveva tuttavia portato alla luce l'inizio di un nuovo movimento artistico. Fu la prima pubblicazione a identificare un'entità pubblica chiamata Arte Concettuale. Il giornale è stato il primo del suo genere a servire gli interessi teorici e conversazionali di una comunità di artisti e critici, che erano anche i suoi produttori e utenti. Mentre quella comunità era lontana da un accordo unanime su come definire la natura dell'arte concettuale, i redattori e la maggior parte dei suoi storici contributori condividevano opinioni simili su altri movimenti artistici. L'arte concettuale denunciava da una parte la burocrazia e lo storicismo del modernismo, e dall'altra il conservatorismo filosofico del minimalismo. La pratica dell'arte concettuale, specialmente nei suoi primi anni, era basata principalmente sulla teoria e sulla sua forma, prevalentemente testuale.

Con l'espansione della distribuzione della rivista e delle pratiche di insegnamento degli editori e degli altri collaboratori, la conversazione è cresciuta fino a includere un gran numero di persone. In Inghilterra, nel 1971,  artisti e critici tra cui Charles Harrison, Philip Pilkington, David Rushton, Lynn Lemaster, Sandra Harrison, Graham Howard e Paul Wood raggiunsero il gruppo. Nello stesso periodo a New York, Michael Corris lo raggiunse, seguito da Paula Ramsden, Mayo Thompson, Christine Kozlov, Preston Heller, Andrew Menard e Kathryn Bigelow.

Il nome Art & Language è rimasto fragile a causa delle varie interpretazioni delle opere d'arte prodotte dal collettivo e dello scopo del gruppo. Il suo significato, o la sua strumentalità, variava da persona a persona, da discorso a discorso, da quelli di New York che per esempio hanno prodotto The Fox (1974-1976), a quelli impegnati in progetti musicali e a quelli che hanno continuato l'edizione del giornale. I membri non andavano d'accordo e, nel 1976, c'era un crescente senso di divisione che alla fine portò a individualità in competizione e a preoccupazioni diverse.

Durante gli anni '70, Art & Language ha affrontato questioni sulla produzione artistica e ha tentato di passare dalle forme convenzionali di arte "non linguistica", come la pittura e la scultura, a opere più teoricamente basate sul testo. Il gruppo ha spesso assunto posizioni critiche contro le opinioni prevalenti di critici come Clement Greenberg e Michael Fried. Il gruppo Art & Language che ha esposto nel 1972 alla mostra internazionale della Documenta 5 comprendeva Atkinson, Bainbridge, Baldwin, Hurrell, Pilkington, Rushton e Joseph Kosuth, editore americano di Art-Language. Il lavoro consisteva in un sistema di archiviazione di materiale pubblicato e diffuso dai membri di Art & Language.

New York Art & Language
Alla fine degli anni 60', Burn and Ramsden hanno co-fondato The Society for Theoretical Art and Analysis in New York. Raggiunsero Art & Language nel 1970-71. New York Art & Language  si frammentò dopo il 1975 per via di disaccordi sui principi di collaborazione. Karl Beveridge e Carol Condé, che erano stati membri periferici del gruppo a New York, sono tornati in Canada dove hanno lavorato con sindacati e gruppi comunitari. Nel 1977, Ian Burn tornò in Australia e Mel Ramsden nel Regno Unito.

Tardi anni 70
Alla fine degli anni '70, il gruppo fu sostanzialmente ridotto a Baldwin, Harrison e Ramsden con la partecipazione occasionale di Mayo Thompson e del suo gruppo The Red Crayola. L'analisi politica e lo sviluppo all'interno del gruppo hanno portato diversi membri a lasciare il gruppo per impegnarsi in politica e occasionalmente nell'attivismo. Ian Burn tornò in Australia,  per raggiungere Ian Milliss, un artista concettuale che collaborava con i sindacati fin dai primi anni '70, e che era attivo in Union Media Services, uno studio di design basato su iniziative sociali con scopo di sviluppare i sindacati. Altri membri del Regno Unito si dedicarono ad attività creative, accademiche e talvolta "politicizzate". All'inizio degli anni '70 c'erano una trentina di membri. Il gruppo Art & Language ha enfatizzato l'uso del linguaggio nella teoria secondo cui il linguaggio è la base da cui nascono idee e concetti. La loro filosofia era che il linguaggio permettesse di indicizzare parole che appaiono, scompaiono, e per alcuni addirittura persistono, permettendo così a spettatori e artisti di analizzare l'evoluzione di una parola proponendo diverse definizioni.

Mostre e premi

Premi e critiche
Nel 1986, Art & Language è stato nominato per il Turner Prize. Nel 1999, Art & Language ha esposto al MoMA PS1 di New York, con una grande installazione intitolata The Artist Out of Work. Questo era un ricordo di Art & Language's dialogical and other practices, curato da Michael Corris e Neil Powell. Questa mostra ha seguito da vicino l'esposizione revisionista Global Conceptualism: Points of Origin al Queens Museum of Art, sempre a New York. La mostra di Art & Language al MoMA PS1 ha offerto un resoconto alternativo degli antecedenti e del retaggio dell'arte concettuale "classica" e ha rafforzato una versione transatlantica piuttosto che nazionalistica degli eventi dal 1968 al 1972. In una critica negativa della mostra, il critico d'arte Jerry Saltz ha scritto: "Un quarto di secolo fa, Art & Language ha fabbricato un legame importante nella genealogia dell'arte concettuale, ma i gli sforzi ulteriori sono stati così autosufficienti e oscuri che il loro lavoro è ora praticamente irrilevante.

Installazioni teoriche
Art & Language e il Jackson Pollock Bar hanno collaborato per la prima volta nel gennaio 1995, durante il simposio Art & Language & Luhmann, organizzato dal Contemporary Social Considerations Institute (Institut für Sozial Gegenwartsfragen) di Friburgo. Il simposio di 3 giorni ha visto l'intervento di relatori tra cui Catherine David, che lavorava sulla preparazione della Documenta X, e Peter Weibl, artista e curatore. C'era anche un'installazione teorica di un testo in Art & Language prodotto in playback dal Jackson Pollock Bar. L'installazione è stata interpretata da cinque attori tedeschi che interpretano i ruoli di Jack Tworkow, Philip Guston, Harold Rosenberg, Robert Motherwell e Ad Reinhardt. Usando la sincronizzazione labiale, gli attori hanno usato il testo pre-registrato per una conversazione "Neo Concettuale ". Da questa collaborazione, ogni nuova mostra di Art & Language è stata affiancata da un'installazione teorica del Jackson Pollock Bar.

yes, i am indeed alive. isn't it super?!!?
i could spend valuable lines of text explaining my absence, or i could just get on with the list.
1. be honest in all circumstances, as nicely as possible.
2. die hair black again (to cover the gray).
3. get that tattoo that's been bouncing around in my head for 10 years.
4. always have a charity fiber project going on- be it knitting, crochet, or sewing.
5. set up a proper studio space for crafting.
6. blog at least twice per week. no excuses.
i think that's enough. i've gotten a jump on number 6 by ordering the wifi card thingy dingy, and number four is underway. there's a new organic salon in my neighborhood to help out with number two, and hopefully a friend will hold my hand for number three. applications are being received for this position at my home, you know the number.
number five needs it's own post, more on that later this week (i promise).

U-turn underpass at Delhi-Gurugram border to open on Oct 15
A U-turn underpass at the Delhi-Gurugram border on the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway (NH 48) will be opened on October 15, 2021.
This was announced by Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari at an event during the inspection of the Delhi-Mumbai expressway on Thursday.
The completion of the underpass on the Expressway will allow commuters from Gurugram to take a u-turn to go towards Ambience Mall and DLF Phase 3 without having to travel to Rajokri in Delhi.
The original deadline for the completion of the underpass was September 4 last year. The project was delayed due to a ban on construction imposed by the Supreme Court in November 2019 to curb air pollution and lockdown imposed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The length of the u-turn underpass is 377 metres, while the entire stretch, including access road, is 1.5 kilometres. The service roads are 559 metres long and 7 metres wide.
The project was sanctioned by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways with the construction cost-sharing in the ratio of 75:25 between NHAI and the Government of Haryana, DLF, Ambience Mall and Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) including the land cost.
Union Minister said, "This U-turn underpass will provide relief from the traffic congestion. The BJP government worked on several projects in Gurugram to make the city free of traffic jams, some of which have been completed and construction work on some others is in progress".
"The total height with Vertical Clearance has been kept five and a half meters. LED lights will be installed for proper lightning inside the underpass. Along with this, the plantation will be done between Signage Board and Dividers in the Underpass under the Indian Roads Congress (IRC) rules," said an NHAI official.

The present invention relates in general to a system and method for integrating personalized data, services, content and community with broadcasted, recorded and/or downloaded content. More particularly, the present invention relates to accessing specialized content that is associated with broadcast content.
A system and method for accessing specialized content that is associated with broadcast content. In one embodiment, a method comprises entering a plurality of specialized content preferences using a user interface displayed on a user computer that is coupled to a data network, and receiving, by a broadcast-based client-side device coupled to the data network, broadcast programming content from a broadcast source and associated non-broadcast specialized content from the data network, where the non-broadcast specialized content is based on the plurality of specialized content preferences. The method further includes storing the non-broadcast specialized content in a storage of the broadcast-based client-side device, where the non-broadcast specialized content is associated with corresponding broadcast programming content. In one embodiment, the method further includes presenting, on a display of the broadcast-based client-side device, the non-broadcast specialized content and the broadcast programming content, and selecting, using a user input device of the broadcast-based client-side device, when the non-broadcast specialized content should be presented.
FIGS. 9A-9B depict embodiments of user interfaces that may be used for carrying out one or more aspects of the invention.
A system and method is disclosed for accessing specialized content that is associated with broadcast content. In one embodiment, a user may access specialized content based on user preferences/profile, where the specialized content is non-broadcast content and is associated with particular broadcast content. In another embodiment, this specialized content may be appended to or otherwise associated with broadcast content that is downloaded/recorded using a client-side device. In yet another embodiment, the specialized content may be broadcast content.
Another aspect of the invention is to enable a user to customize available broadcast content, as well as available non-broadcast content and services. In one embodiment, an online graphical user interface (GUI) is used to set a plurality of user preferences and settings which tailors and formats the non-broadcast content and services available via a client-side device.
In another embodiment, the user can tailor what non-broadcast content will be accessible to the user. Once a user's preferences/profile have been set online, the user may then download/record broadcast content using a client-side device, while also having associated specialized content streamed to the client-side device, in either a broadcast or non-broadcast format. By entering user preferences, the online preferences and/or habits may be incorporated into a user's viewing experience, such as a television viewing experience or to utilize available services provided by website, a server or any other medium. Once the user's preferences have been specified, the user may access and/or incorporate his/her preferences in using available services, from any device that is connected to a network (such as a local area network, wide area network, a global network such as the Internet, etc.).
FIG. 5F illustrates one embodiment of the Preferences menu provided in accordance with the online user interface of FIG. 5C. Upon selecting the preferences window 545 b on GUI 110, a preference menu 575 is displayed on the GUI 110. The preference menu 575 may include one or more preference menu sections 575 a-575 j for selecting or entering user preferences. In one embodiment, the preference menu sections 575 a-575 j comprise a General section 575 a, a Parental Controls section 575 b, a Channel Guide section 575 c, a Movies/Video on Demand (VOD) section 575 d, an Overlays section 575 e, a Photos section 575 f, an Auctions section 57 g, a Games section 575 h, a Personals section 575 i, and other miscellaneous sections 575 j.
As mentioned above, one aspect of the invention is to enable specialized content (either non-broadcast or broadcast-based) that is associated with broadcast content to be accessible by user via a client-side device. In one embodiment, this specialized content may be appended to or otherwise associated with particular broadcast content that is downloaded/recorded using a client-side device.
As also mentioned above, another aspect of the invention is to enable a user to customize available broadcast content, as well as available non-broadcast content and services. In one embodiment, an online graphical user interface (GUI) is used to set a plurality of user preferences and settings which tailors and formats the specialized content and services available via a client-side device. Once a user's preferences/profile have been set online, the user may then download/record broadcast content using a client-side device, while also having associated specialized content streamed to the client-side device.
By way of providing a non-limiting example, a user who records a particular Television show using the DVR functionality of a client-side device 130, may also auto-record the extra outtakes of the show from an online source (e.g., back-end server 125. In this manner, a user can access additional specialized content for current broadcast/cable/satellite programming, as well as access to content not readily available from these providers—such as NCAA basketball coverage. Moreover, "Talk Shows" and "Reality Shows" tend to provide behind the scenes footage for popular programming, as well as outtakes and other additional material. Such content may be accessed as non-broadcast data/content by the client-side device 130. It should be appreciated that numerous types of specialized content may be associated with broadcast content, including but certainly not limited to actor interviews, bloopers, director-cut scenes, text-based biographical information, etc.
Referring now to FIG. 8, a flow diagram of process 800 is depicted for one embodiment of how a user may access specialized content associated with broadcast content on a client-side device. Process 800 begins at block 805 where a user may logon to an online account. While in one embodiment this logon procedure is accomplished by providing a username and password, it should equally be appreciated that numerous other ways of gaining access to an online user-specific interface may be used. In another embodiment based on the client ID, from 300, the user can be identified for a given device and their preferences extracted from the corresponding record on the backend system. Once the user has been identified and authenticated, user content preferences may then be entered using a GUI, such as GUI 110. In another embodiment based on the user identification the content preferences can be automatically obtained from the backend system. These content preferences may include categories of specialized content that is to be downloaded/recorded (e.g., talk shows, reality shows, soaps, sports, etc.), how users gain access to available specialized content (e.g., manually request, automatically offer to show), and how the specialized content is downloaded, recorded and/or stored. Based on these settings, specialized content, whether broadcast or non-broadcast, is tailored and provided to a client-side device, such as a television. For example, in one embodiment previously-discussed GUI 110 may be used to login to a user account and choose to download/record all available television programming outtakes for reality-based television shows. These outtakes may then be downloaded (in the case of non-broadcasted outtakes) or recorded (in the case of broadcasted outtakes) by the client-side device 130 (using Services API 215 for example). In another embodiment, the downloaded/recorded outtakes are appended to the corresponding shows to which they relate.
In one embodiment, back-end server 125 (see FIG. 4A) may contain content, as well as information relating to available specialized content, which may be requested by the client-side system 130 as detailed above in FIGS. 3A-3B. In addition to requesting the specialized content/information, the Services API 215 may be used to tailor available content viewing/downloading/recording/storing options based on user preferences and/or identification information as obtained via 300, from the back-end server 125.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 8, once a user has been authenticated and authorized via 300 and provided user preference information at block 805, process 800 may then move to block 810. While in one embodiment, this logon procedure is as set forth above in FIGS. 3A-3B, it should be appreciated that numerous other logon procedures that effectively identify a particular user/client device similarly may be employed. By logging on or otherwise identifying the particular user, that user's preferences for viewing/downloading/recording/storing specialized content that were previously provided online may be used to customize the viewing experience.
Once the logon/authentication procedure of block 810 has been completed as described in 300 and the user is identified, process 800 moves to block 815 where the user is then free to select from and view available broadcast content (e.g., television programming). In one embodiment, the look and feel of the broadcast content viewing experience may similarly be customized based on the preferences provided at block 810.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 8, process 800 continues to block 820 where a determination is made as to whether there is any available specialized content available to download/record. While in one embodiment, the specialized content may be available to download via network 120, it may also be broadcast content 140 that will be available to record at some future airing time. Where there is no available specialized content, process 800 may simply move to block 825 where the user selected broadcast content continues to be presented.
Where there is available specialized content, however, process 800 continues to block 830 where the user is presented with options to view whatever available specialized content there may be. In one embodiment, at block 835 the specialized content may be downloaded/recorded before the user is presented with the viewing options of block 830. Alternatively, the downloading/recording of the specialized content may similarly take place after the user is presented with the viewing options of block 830. In another embodiment the viewing options may be stored online with other preferences and automatically applied to the specialized content without requesting user input.
Regardless of whether the viewing options are presented before or after performing the downloading/recording of block 835, the viewing options of block 830 may conform to the user preferences/profile information provided at block 805. For example, if preferences of block 805 indicate that specialized content should be automatically played following the broadcast content to which it is associated, the viewing options of block 830 may simply consist of the user having to press "play," "OK," or any other acknowledgement command. Alternatively, the viewing options of block 835 may consist of presenting a series of viewing options including, 'view now,' 'remind later,' etc. It should be appreciated that a multitude of viewing options are possible and would be consistent with the principles of the invention.
At block 840 of FIG. 8, a determination is made as to whether the specialized content is to be viewed now. If not, (e.g., viewing option to view later was selected by user), then the user selected broadcast content continues to be presented to the user and process 800 ends. If, on the other hand, the user has opted to view the specialized content, either now or at some point during the presentation of the selected broadcast content, then process 800 may move to block 850. At block 850, the available specialized content is presented to the user, and in one embodiment may be presented to the user simultaneously with the selected broadcast content.
Referring now to FIG. 9A, depicted is one embodiment of a content interface 900 that has been customized based on the user preferences provided at block 810 of FIG. 8. In one embodiment, a user may access content interface 900 via the application tree structure 600 of FIG. 6A. In another embodiment, the content interface 900 is generated by client-side device 130 (e.g., a television connected to a STB) using non-broadcast data 115 provided over network 120. Non-broadcast data 115 may be provided by backend-server 125 in accordance with the user preferences provided at block 810 of FIG. 8.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 9A, content interface 900 may be used to provide the user with options relating to the viewing/downloading/recording/storing of specialized content that is associated with particular broadcast content. For example, in the particular embodiment of FIG. 9A, a user is able to select from among the various categories of content shown in selection menu 910 (i.e., talk shows, reality shows, soaps, sports). Thus, in this embodiment the user need not access particular broadcast content (as described in the embodiment of FIG. 8) in order to have access to associated specialized content. Rather, a user may access content interface 900 via the application tree structure 600 of FIG. 6A.
FIG. 9B depicts another content interface 920 that may be accessible to a user by selecting the "reality shows" option from selection menu 910. However, in another embodiment content interface 920 may be accessed while viewing an associated television show using client-side device 130. For example, while viewing (or after viewing) Program A on a display of client-side device 130, a user may be automatically be prompted to view specialized content associated with Program A. After responding affirmatively, content interface 920 may be presented to the user on the display of client-side device 130.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 9B, content interface is comprised of a program selection portion 940, a content selection portion 930 and a description portion 950. In one embodiment, the program selection portion 940 enables a user to scroll through available specialized content based on associated shows (or other type of broadcast content). For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 9B a user has set the program selection portion 940 to 'Program A." Using scroll buttons 935 the user could similarly access other specialized content for other associated shows (e.g., Program B, Program C, etc.).
With the program selection portion 940 set to Program A, content selection portion 930 may be populated with the available specialized content for Program A. For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 9B, content selection portion 930 has been populated with interviews for various cast members of Program A. Once a user selects from the options of content selection portion 930, description portion 950 may in turn be populated with information relating to the content selection portion 930 selection. In summary, in the embodiment of FIG. 9B, a user has selected Program A using scroll buttons 935 of the program selection portion. This selection has then populated content selection portion 930 with all of the available specialized content for Program A. Thereafter, the user selected "Brian Interview" from the content selection portion 930, which in turn populated the description portion 950 with information relating to the specialized content referred to as Brian Interview.

Suspect in 1992 slaying of teacher's aide held without bail
Tammy Harvey
A warrant was issued Friday for the arrest of Schara on charges of murder, aggravated rape and kidnapping in connection to Ziegert's death.
For 25 years Lisa Ziegert's family have sought answers and justice in her murder. Her body was found on April 19 in a wooded area.
Masslive.com is reporting that Hampden County District Attorney Anthony Gulluni will hold a press conference about the 25-year-old murder at 2 p.m., Monday at the Hampden County Hall of Justice.
Investigators began to look back at persons of interest whose DNA was not on file, he said. The following day, a person close to him gave state police handwritten documents in which Schara admitted to the abduction, rape, and murder of Ziegert, the DA said. Later that day, police tried to find Schara, and learned he had fled to Connecticut, Gulluni says.
He was discharged from the CT medical facility on Monday and is now being held in CT on a fugitive from justice charge, WSHM reports.
Schara is expected to be extradited to MA following his legal proceedings regarding the fugitive from justice charge in CT.
Suspect In 1992 Massachusetts Slaying Arrested In Connecticut
It was not immediately clear why was Schara was in the hospital.
The district attorney said officials "have a sense of why he did it" but did not provide details about a possible motive.
Lisa Ziegert was 24 when she disappeared from her second job at a card store in Agawam in the spring of 1992. The clerk who arrived at work the next morning found the store open, the lights on and Ziegert's vehicle still in the parking lot.
Police made headway in the case after distributing a computer-generated picture a year ago, using DNA found at the scene to estimate what a possible suspect would look like, reports said.
"We are so grateful and - 'happy" is the wrong word, I can't use the word 'happy, ' because in this situation, we're not happy - but we are so grateful for the hard work and determination and faith that all of these investigators had over all these years, ' Dee Ziegert, the victim's mother, said Monday, NBC Connecticut reported.
