Last evening at the lake, Dave and I watched the sky turn from clouds to brilliant color. It became more and more beautiful by the second.
We both ran to grab our phones to take a picture and here's what we saw….
Blessings to you this Memorial Day weekend!
Equally beautiful is the fact you didn't miss God's treasure for you both!

Hayes, Florence. "Adanac Quartet". The Canadian Encyclopedia, 28 June 2016, Historica Canada. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/adanac-quartet-emc. Accessed 18 April 2019.
Adanac Quartet(te). Name of two related male-voice quartets, active in turn 1915-19 and 1921-7. (Adanac - Canada spelled backwards - has been a popular trade name for many years.) Little is known about the first, which gave its inaugural concert 1 Jan 1915 at Columbus Hall, Toronto, except that it was active in Ontario during World War I on behalf of such patriotic causes as the sale of war bonds, and comprised Redferne Hollinshead (tenor), George Dixon (tenor), Arthur Blight (baritone), and H. Ruthven McDonald (bass). The tenor J. Elcho Fiddes also is said to have sung in this first Adanac Quartet, which disbanded at war's end.
Reorganized on a professional basis in 1921 by McDonald with Riley Hallman (tenor), Ernest Bushnell (tenor, pianist), and Joseph O'Meara (baritone), the quartet performed widely on Chautauqua vaudeville circuits in the USA and Canada from 40 to 45 weeks each year and made two 78s of Scottish songs for the Apex label, the first released in 1923. In 1926 Bushnell, a pupil of Arthur Blight and later a major figure in Canadian broadcasting, was succeeded by another Blight pupil, Lawrence Dafoe. Various other singers, including Charles Shearer and Cavan Jones, have also been mentioned in connection with the quartet. It disbanded in 1927 after its style of singing had gone out of fashion.


Diabetes is a complicated disease. Whether you are a pre-diabetic or a full diabetic, it is imperative that you maintain control over your blood sugar, diet, and weight.
According to the American Diabetes Association, the symptoms of those suffering from Type 2 Diabetes are subtle and sometimes overlooked. However, if you have Type 2 Diabetes, what is happening inside of your body is not subtle, for your body lacks the ability to store and process simple and complex sugars. Not paying attention to a diabetic diet plan can result in severe health problems.
There are two types of diabetes; Type 1 and Type 2. In this article, we are going to talk about those with Type 2 diabetes.
Diabetics need to exercise on a daily basis, monitor their blood pressure and check their blood sugar regularly.
Developing a practical approach to a diabetic diet is the primary focus of this article. In this day and age, when the family is busy and meals are rushed, how does a diabetic keep an accurate count of what they are consuming on a daily basis?
Thankfully, bookshelves are full of cookbooks geared especially for diabetics, as well as dozens of online recipe sites. By doing a bit of planning and research beforehand, you can take control of your diet by simply taking your shopping list with you and buying the correct ingredients.
This type of diabetes means that your body is not making enough insulin to handle the sugar in your blood, or that the insulin is not effective enough to move the glucose in the blood into the cells of the body.
Essentially, Diabetes is a condition of insulin resistance.
Diabetes has a strong genetic link behind it, which is why you often find several family members suffering from it. There are several risk factors that increase a person's chance of developing diabetes, including being overweight, a lack of physical exercise, as well as being over 50 years of age.
What exactly is sugar in the blood? Another term for this is glucose. When you eat, the body turns those foods into glucose, or sugar, for energy. Insulin from the pancreas is what moves the glucose from your blood into the cells.
When speaking about the levels of glucose in the blood, doctors break in down into milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood. The reading would look like this- MG/DL.
Although your glucose levels will vary throughout the day as you eat and drink, for a person who does not have diabetes, a blood test taken first thing in the morning, before eating, should be under 100MG/DL. A higher reading would, of course, be anything over 100 and a diabetic will often see numbers over 130.
Carbohydrates will affect your blood sugar faster than fats or protein. Most carbs come from things like sugar, bread, pasta, rice, and starchy vegetables such as corn, beans, and potatoes.
Not all carbohydrates are equal. Simple carbs are things like bread and sugar. Complex carbs would be foods like nuts, beans, and vegetables. It is best to focus on complex carbohydrates. These will give you energy and fiber as they digest more slowly than simple carbs.
Eating too many carbohydrates, especially simple carbs or sugary snacks, can make your blood sugar rise substantially.
There are certain foods that can make your blood sugar spike very high very quickly. Things like sugar and bread are quickly absorbed by the body and turned into sugar. Because of this, doctors have created a glycemic index, which can help to tell you if a certain food is more likely to spike your blood sugar.
The Glycemic Index (sometimes just called the G.I.) is fairly easy to use. It works on a scale from 1 to 100, with one being very low (which is good) and 100 very high.
Foods that are as natural as possible tend to be lower on the glycemic index than processed or refined foods. It's important to note that some foods can change their glycemic index over time. Bananas, for example, increase their sugar levels between barely ripe and very ripe. A regular, ready to eat, still yellow skinned banana has a glycemic index of 48, but once it gets those brown dots, it can be as high as 59.
The best way to reduce blood sugar is to limit the amount of simple carbohydrates consumed. This is why diabetics are encouraged to consume a low carb, ketogenic, high protein diet with plenty of fresh vegetable and fruit.
Meats: Look for free range or organic meats and avoid lunch meats, processed meats (such as hot dogs) or deli meat as these often have sugar added to them, increasing the number of simple carbs they contain.
Eggs: Eggs are a good choice for diabetics as they are loaded with protein. It's hard to beat a hard boiled egg as a protein rich snack. The problem with diabetics and eggs are what people eat with them or on them. Eggs fried in margarine or put on two slices of bread can turn a good egg into a bad meal.
Veggies: Not all veggies are created equal. Potatoes are a favorite around the world; however, they are loaded with carbs that the body treats just like sugar.
One easy way to remember which veggies are good for diabetics is to think above ground. Vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, eggplants, lettuce and tomatoes are all excellent choices.
Vegetables that grow below ground, such as potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, parsnips and sweet potatoes are much higher in carbs and should be limited.
Fruits: Fruits can taste as sweet as candy, which is what makes them higher in carbs than vegetables. Enjoying fruit when you are a diabetic is fine; you simply need to keep track of how much you enjoy each day.
Berries. About 3.5 ounces of raspberries, strawberries or blackberries only contain a tiny 5 or 6 grams of carbs. Watch those blueberries, however, as they pack 12 carbs for the same amount.
Lemons, coconuts, cantaloupe and plums have only 6 or 7 carbs per 3.5 ounce serving.
Oranges, peaches, cherries, watermelon and tangerines have 9 or 10 carbs per 3.5 ounce serving.
Higher up on the list are pineapples, mangos, and kiwi fruit at about 12 or 13 carbs per serving.
Bananas are the top of the list with 20 grams, on average, for a 3.5 ounce serving.
Nuts: A handful of nuts makes a terrific snack, but which are the best for diabetics?
Pecans and Brazil nuts should be your first choice. A 3.5 ounce serving only costs you 4 grams of carbs. Macadamia nuts are only 5 grams of carbs. Peanuts, walnuts, and Hazel nuts will set you back 7 grams, while pine nuts are about 9 grams of carbs for a 3.5 ounce serving.
The top three would be almonds, which have 10 grams of carbs per serving, pistachios, which are 18 carbs per serving, and the King of Carbs would be cashews, at a whopping 27 carbs per 3.5 ounce serving.
Snacks: The best snacks are ones that require no prep!
Think hard boiled eggs, hard cheeses, avocados, or a bite of leftover meat, such as chicken breast, for a snack that contains only 2 carbs!
Olives, pecans, macadamia nuts, or avocados only have 3 carbs per serving.
Other snacks that are yummy are vegetables, such as cucumbers, or celery dipped in a bit of cream cheese or sour cream.
Perhaps one of the most decadent snacks, however, are about 3 ounces of strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries dipped in some heavy whipped cream. This will only set you back 8 carbs!
Dairy: Dairy products can be high in carbs; it depends on what you are eating. In general, the more sugar the food has, the more carbs it will contain.
Yogurt, for example, can vary greatly depending on the flavor and even on the manufacturer. The average 6 ounce container of low fat, fruit flavored yogurt can contain as many as 32 grams of carbs! However, a 6 ounce container of plain Greek yogurt has only 6 grams of carbs.
In general, milk has 12 grams of carbs per 8 ounce serving. Using soy milk will cut that down to 8 grams per cup. Cottage cheese is another favorite, as 1 full cup has only 6 grams of carbs, but 8 grams of protein!
Hard cheese is one of the tastiest ways you can get calcium and it isn't loaded with carbohydrates. Cheddar cheese, for example, has less than 1 gram of carbohydrates per 1 ounce serving. Be careful, however, and read the labels as not all cheese is this low carb.
Real Fats: Avoid unhealthy fats that contain GMO products or trans fats such as margarine, canola oil, or shortening. Healthy fats that your body can truly use are avocados, coconut oil, nut oils, such as peanut oil or almond oil, olive oil and olives, sesame seeds and sesame seed oil.
Drinks: Water, coffee, tea without added sugar.
Sugar: soft drinks, sugar filled fruit juice, candy, cake, brownies, candy, etc.
Fruits that are high in carbs.
Milk should be limited, but nut milks, such as non-sweetened almond milk, are very low in carbs and make a terrific substitute.
Protein: Protein is so tasty, it's easy to overeat. In general, each meal should be made up of 10 to 15 percent protein or about 0.7 grams of protein per pound of lean muscle mass.
Fat: Eat fat at each meal. Fat and protein is what makes you feel full and satisfied.
Getting regular exercise is important to the body to keep it working at its best. We have evolved in some areas more than others. The human body is not designed to sit for 8 or 10 hours a day looking at computers or telephone screens.
Stress causes disease and hormone malfunction as much as eating fast food every day. Find ways to manage your stress, such as yoga or meditation.
Sleep is when the body repairs itself. Those late night movies sound great, but you are sacrificing time when your body needs to shut down and remove old hormones, make new hormones, and repair skin and muscles. Don't skimp on sleep! It is not a weakness, but a necessity.
Although it's been said a million times, that doesn't make it any less true; drink more water. Every single function of the body needs water to work properly. Imagine your body like a bathtub. How well could you clean yourself with only an inch of water in it? Stay hydrated.
By following this diet plan, you will eat better, improve your health, control your blood sugar levels naturally and enjoy a rich, full life.
Almost every person who follows this meal plan will find that they can reduce their reliance on drugs and/or insulin. Many people find that they lose weight, gain energy, and live a normal life free from medication or insulin shots.

Thanksgiving weekend box office: Harry Potter still rules, but "Tangled" keeps hope alive for Disney princesses
As we discussed on Thursday, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One" would have had to suffer a truly enormous second weekend drop, or its nearest competitor would have had to be a HUGE over-performer, for it to come in at any spot but #1 this weekend. Still, these last five days were a bit more competitive than expected.
Over just this weekend (Friday-Sunday), the latest entry in J.K. Rowling's enormous fantasy opus dropped by a hefty but not surprising 59.7% from last weekend with an estimate of $50 million and change for studio Warner Brothers, according to Box Office Mojo. Over at Anne Thompson/Indiewire land, Anthony D'Alessandro reports that the fantasy feature earned some $76.3 over the entire Thanksgiving weekend. (Nikki Finke has a slightly higher figure along with the predictable extra snark.)
Coming up a very healthy #2 was Disney's "Tangled." Reports of the death of Disney fairy-tale adaptations and princess tales may be taking a very Mark Twain-worthy turn. The 3D animated musical comedy, which is receiving hearty praise from critics and top grades from Cinemascore, earned a stellar $69 million estimate over the five day period and came within a hair's breadth of the Potter-plex over the weekend with $49.1 million. Close enough that, when the actuals come out, it's not impossible that "Tangled" could actually win the weekend. Of course, with this much money involved, neither film could possibly be termed a "loser."
That, however, is not the case for the weekend's other two new releases. The musical's new lease on life took a small hit this weekend with a disappointing run for "Burlesque." The poorly reviewed pic earned an $11.8 million weekend estimate for Screen Gems/Sony in the #4 spot after "Megamind," and somewhere in the neighborhood of $17 million over the five day period, perhaps $7 million below the expected take. Still, D'Alessandro reports a very good Cinemascore rating, which may indicate strong legs or at least that people who really wanted to see a movie with Cher and Christina Aguilera got what they wanted.
Bringing up the rear after #5 "Unstoppable," which is holding very nicely indeed in Week 3 with an estimated $11.75 for Fox, was Edward Zwick's "Love and Other Drugs." How Nikki Finke could describe Zwick's first attempt at a romantic comedy/drama, 1986 near-crime against humanity (and David Mamet) "About Last Night," as "now classic" is a mystery to me. Less of a mystery is the fact that a poorly reviewed attempt at Oscar bait is a movie with no place to call home. So, those $9.85 weekend and $14.5 holiday weekend estimates are absolutely no surprise.
The Dwayne Johnson action fest "Faster" also lost its personal race this weekend, with a rather slower $8.7 and $12.2 million estimate. La Finke notes that the marketing budget on the film was kept modest (so that's why director George Tillman, Jr. talked to me?) and, at least, CBS Films prexy Les Moonves seems committed to the long haul with his fledgling film company.
Meanwhile, in limited release-land, the big news was the big weekend for "The King's Speech" which earned by far the weekend's biggest per-screen average with a king-size $87,500 average on four screens. Considering this film is both reportedly extremely good, stars English actors portraying royalty, and from the Weinsteins, its heavy Oscar presence seems assured alongside "The Social Network" (which I finally saw last night and was absolutely floored by) and "The Black Swan" (which I haven't seen yet, but seems to floor everyone who sees it).

The Golden Globes nominations — gee whiz
Weekend Box Office: "Tangled" enjoying good hair and $ days, a "Warrior" doesn't get its way, but "Black Swan" is no ugly duckling
Trailer time: Dumb knows no gender
Even though we have four major releases hitting theaters tomorrow for this five day Turkey day weekend, I'm going to keep it short. Especially as, in some respects, this weekend is a foregone conclusion.
On the heels of its boffo $125 million opening weekend, Warner Brothers' "Harry Potter and the Deathy Hallows: Part One" would have to drop by what I'd think is an unprecedented percentage in its second weekend to get anywhere even close to the $40 million or so jolly Carl DiOrio expects for this week's new CGI animated comedy based on the fairly tale "Rapunzel," "Tangled." The film, which Disney has seemed slightly nervous about, marks the final bow for the Disney princess brand and fairy tale adaptations for some time, we're told, and the studio has been trying hard to sell it to males.
Though I might personally prefer my princesses 2D and traditionally animated, the tale has enraptured most critics and our David Medsker is rather sweet on it. I wouldn't be surprised to see it over perform — not because the people listen to critics but because the critics are (mostly) people. Maybe it's a bit early to retire the whole fairy tale princesses thing.
Also looking strong and with definite female appeal — though plenty of PG-13 level under-clothed attractive women are on offer for ogling males — is the apparently deliberately hoaky musical, "Burlesque." Though the film is getting some guilty pleasure semi-love from Jason Zingale, it's not getting the guilt-ridden love of critics over all, not that it will matter for a movie, fans of Cher and Christina Aguilera and glitz will show. Fans of rom-coms, however might not show as much for Edward Zwick's attempt at something a bit more biting than the usual in the genre, Fox's "Love and Other Drugs." Any Oscar hopes for the Jake Gyllenhaal/Anne Hathaway pairer seem beyond remote in the face of unimpressive reviews. and I suspect this is the kind of movie that actually needs to be good to do terribly well. Still, the considerable charisma of its two stars and the lack of adult-skewing date-type movies might help it achieve its rather modest expectations.
Bringing up the possible rear, or maybe not, is the relatively lowish budget actioner starring Dwayne Johnson, "Faster." Though I enjoyed interviewing director George Tillman, Jr., the movie has received little critical applause, not that it particularly needs it. It's possible, however, that considering the lack of action-fare right now, males might want to smell what Tilman, the ex-Rock, and a strong supporting cast are cooking. I'm sure CBS Films would find that delicious.

Once again, it's Red-Band trailer time: "Love and Other Drugs"
"Faster" Dwayne Johnson, kill! kill!
I don't know whether I'm fighting off a bug or if I'm being taken over by an alien pod, but I'm just not feeling cogent enough for reflection tonight. Good night to catch up on my TV viewing or on less creative writing tasks no matter how much movie news is going on out there.
As if to fit that mode, via Mike Fleming, here's a very violent and bloody (nice close up of someone getting their throat cut) red band trailer from CBS Films for "Faster." It shows Dwayne "no longer related to geologic formations" Johnson going very far out of his way to get the taint of all those family movies off of him, with a little help from Billy Bob Thornton and director George Tilman, Jr. Mr. Tilman seems to be channeling a bit of John Woo and Sam Peckinpah.
Fleming refers to Johnson's characters as an "action hero"? No matter what they did to him, does a "hero" run around killing numerous unarmed people in cold blood? Not in my world. Still, looks like it might be an interesting ride. They haven't had much luck with movies at CBS so far. Could this be the one that changes the new film division's luck?

I have run into an issue with broken E30Zone wiki web links in several older posts here on E30Zone.net. It's been frustrating me until today.
Today Brianmoooore showed me that to fix a broken wiki link just copy the link into your address bar and then edit out the word "zone" from e30zonewiki". Hit "Enter" after that and you'll find the wiki you're looking for.
Would be nice if the developers would redirect the old page name to the new one, a lot of links on google are broken aswell!
As anyone who is remotely familiar with my level of computing skills may suspect, credit for this fix goes to Steve, the boss man, not me.
Sorry everyone, I didn't realise my redirects where so broken, they should be all working again now.
My oldest son is a web designer, digital film editor etc. The one thing I know about the internet is nothing is as easy as it seems and a site like this one is very complex. I'm glad it works as well as it does, and that everyone is as accessible and helpful as they are. Please don't take my posting of this topic to be a criticism of any sort. I'm happily passing on helpful information that helped me access the tech expertise found here.
I'm not a website developer, in fact I'm a plastic fabricator, I'm just enthusiast who was looking for information about my E30 and couldn't find what I was looking for, so I decided to do something about it. Everything you see now is just a result of me learning as I went along.
The Zone for me is just as much a project / hobby as my E30 is.

Here are the plans for Clifton eyesore after years of disuse
A planning application for the site in Clifton Down Road has now been submitted
Kate WilsonPolitical Editor

Details of plans to demolish a derelict building in Clifton Village and replace it with offices, shops and restaurants have finally been revealed.
Back in November, Bristol Live reported that owners THAT Group had intended to submit a planning application to Bristol City Council to transform the site by the end of last year.
And now after a slight delay proposals for the row of empty shops in Clifton Down Road - next to Boyce's Avenue and King's Road - have been submitted to the council.
Bristol family apologised to after mud 'dumped' on father's grave
The application asks for permission to demolish the building which has become a blight for locals, and in its place build a three-storey property containing shops, a cafe/restaurant and offices.
Proposals also include shared-surface highway improvements on Boyce's Avenue and parts of King's Road
There is no parking provision planned for the site, but the scheme includes a new integrated bus stop and taxi rank.
The 'Clifton on Ice' sign is still visible on the building despite not being used as an ice rink for four years (Image: Bristol Live)
Cycle parking is also proposed for retail and office staff and visitors both internally and externally as covered Sheffield stands.
Twelve spaces have been allocated for the retail units (six staff and six visitors) and nine for the offices.
The derelict site, which used to be home to WHSmiths, was last used by the public in 2014 when a temporary Christmas ice-rink was opened there.
The 'Clifton on Ice' signage can still be seen on the building despite the rink only being open for one Christmas season four years ago.
Brand new 'car free, boutique' hotel planned for Bristol city centre
And the area is now covered in graffiti and has become an "eyesore" for local residents.
THAT Group has been trying to develop the site for a number of years but the plans have either been rejected or never materialised.
The planning history dates back as far as 2010, and the former owners had been granted planning permission to redevelop the site with shops and flats.

But revised schemes submitted by the current owners have not been as successful.
In 2015, an application to demolish the existing building and replace it with a mixed-use development of shops and flats was turned down by the city council.
A year later THAT Group came forward with a new scheme featuring a similar development but without the residential aspect, but this did not proceed to a formal planning application.
A planning statement prepared by Tetlow King Planning in support of the application said: "Following refusal of the previous application, the applicant's team has completely rethought its proposals for the site, including the proposed uses, reducing the height of the building by one-storey, and setting-back the corners of the building, to reduce its scale, mass and impact on the street scene.
"The site has been lying dormant for some time and we have taken this time to explore the site's full potential and meet the expectations and aspirations of the local community - making this site again an integral part of Clifton life."

The Drawing Center in New York Plans Temporary Free Admission
As museums of all kinds rethink their admissions policies, one New York–based institution has a plan to comp all fees entirely for a few months. For the full run of its upcoming exhibition "The Pencil Is a Key: Drawings by Incarcerated Artists," which opens on October 11 and runs through January 5, the Drawing Center will waive all admission charges. (The funds necessary to undergo the temporary policy change came via an anonymous donation.)
"The Pencil Is a Key" takes as its focus a broad definition of incarceration, with works on view by political prisoners such as Ruth Asawa and Gustav Courbet, as well as pieces by artists kept in Russian gulags, Guantanamo Bay, and countries run by dictators. In a statement, Laura Hoptman, the center's director, said, "Our hope is that free admission will foster increased engagement with the content of the exhibition and encourage visitors of all backgrounds to come back and experience the show on multiple occasions." —Alex Greenberger

$100,000 Landscape Prize Named for Pioneering Practitioner
The Cultural Landscape Foundation, a Washington, D.C.–based nonprofit, has named its recently established International Landscape Architecture Prize after the Canadian landscape architect Cornelia Hahn Oberlander. The $100,000 Oberlander Prize, which is the first of its kind, will be given biennially starting in 2021. Over the course of her 70-year career, Oberlander has led projects at the Museum of Anthropology and the Public Library in Vancouver, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, the New York Times building courtyard, and other sites. In 2013, she won the American Society of Landscape Architects Medal and, in 2016, she became the inaugural recipient of the Governor General's Medal in Landscape Architecture. Charles A. Birnbaum, the president and CEO of the Cultural Landscape Foundation, said in a statement that Oberlander "embodies the Prize criteria of creativity, courage, and vision."
Rachel Uffner Gallery Now Represents Hilary Pecis
Painter Hilary Pecis has joined Rachel Uffner Gallery in New York. Pecis draws on the traditions of landscapes and still life painting in her works, which often depict flattened domestic scenes rendered in bright hues.

Duchamp/Koons Show Breaks Attendance Records at Museo Jumex
Museo Jumex said that "Appearance Stripped Bare: Desire and the Object in the Work of Marcel Duchamp and Jeff Koons, Even" had blown past attendance records at the museum, with 440,240 people having seen the Massimiliano Gioni–curated show over the course of its five-month run. According to the museum, the two-person outing is now "one of the most visited exhibitions of contemporary art in Mexico." In an interview with ARTnews earlier this year, Gioni said that the show presented "the individual as compromised [by] the market, by capital, by desires for success, and in doing so, Duchamp and Koons present a much more complex notion of who we are and how we are implicated in the world around us."
Princeton University Art Museum Names Inaugural Chief Curator
The Princeton University Art Museum in New Jersey has appointed Juliana Ochs Dweck to the newly created position of chief curator.

Some of her curatorial credits at the museum include "Miracles on the Border: Retablos of Mexican Migrants to the United States" (2019), "Time Capsule 1970: Rauschenberg's Currents" (2019), and "Surfaces Seen and Unseen: African Art at Princeton" (2016). Dweck has previously held positions at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia, and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
Artists Withdraw from Mattress Factory Auction in Protest
Two artists—Ann Hamilton and Kathleen Montgomery—have pulled their work from an auction at the Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh, as a protest against the art space's decision to put its director, Michael Olijnyk, on temporary paid leave following an inquiry into the way he handled a complaint by four female employees. A third artist, Hans Peter Kuhn, also reportedly emailed the museum to let leadership know that he disagreed with the institution's treatment of Olijnyk. "This is not the way a cultivated people deal with problems," Kuhn told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which first reported the news.
The investigation into Olijnyk was first taken up last year, after a WESA report revealed allegations of harassment and rape against one male employee at the Mattress Factory. After one female employee went to Olijnyk with her accusations, the director made the employee take a harassment training course and reportedly kept him on staff for several more months. Following a National Labor Relations Board investigation, Olijnyk was placed on temporary paid leave in September 2018. —Alex Greenberger

Queer|Art and Robert Giard Foundation Partner for $10,000 for LGBTQ+ Photographers
The New York–based arts nonprofit Queer|Art has partnered with the Robert Giard Foundation, named after the late queer photographer, to relaunch its signature prize for emerging or under-recognized LGBTQ+ photographers, which comes with $10,000 and supports the creation of new work. Previously administered since 2008 as the Robert Giard Fellowship with an award of $7,500, the grant has been renamed the Robert Giard Grant for Emerging LGBTQ+ Photographers and will honor artists working in that medium whose practice specifically "address issues of sexuality, gender, or LGBTQ+ identity," according to a release. The prize will be selected through an open-pool application, open until November 24, and the winner will be announced next March. The jury for this next round includes artists Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Elle Pérez, and Guadalupe Rosales, and curator and writer Efrem Zelony-Mindell.
Giard first worked as a photographer of landscapes and the nude figure, concentrating on the vistas and communities of South Fork on Long Island. In 1985, after seeing a performance of Larry Kramer's groundbreaking play The Normal Heart, about the early days of the AIDS crisis, Giard turned his lens on the activists of that community, producing his best-known series, "Particular Voices: Portraits of Gay and Lesbian Writers," which documented over 500 of the people involved in the fight to end HIV/AIDS. The series was published as a book in 1997, and in its introduction, Giard wrote, "How can it not count to recognize at some level, no matter how submerged or close to the surface, that for many people you are somehow less—less man or less woman, less human, less serious, less significant, less deserving? Can it really make no difference realizing that some feel subtle or downright contempt for who you are, even hate you, and are convinced that you have no history, no story worth telling or worth listening to, that you are not even out there in the world, existing? … I want the world to know that we are here, have a past, and many stories to tell." —Maximilíano Durón
Pace Gallery Now Represents John Gerrard
John Gerrard has been added to Pace Gallery's roster. Gerrard, who creates moving-image works that he terms "simulations," often addresses notions of power. He has said that he relies on digital moving-image work because "this medium can talk to the complexity of contemporary conditions as no other medium can." Gerrard currently has work on view at this year's Pierre Huyghe–curated Okayama Art Summit in Japan, and it was also on view earlier this year at Desert X, a biennial-style exhibition for outdoor artworks in California's Coachella Valley. His art has also appeared in the 2009 Venice Biennale and the 2016 Shanghai Biennale.
Pace, which will co-represent the artist with Thomas Dane Gallery in London, plans to bring the Vienna- and Dublin-based artist's work to its booth at the Frieze art fair, which opens to the public on Thursday. On view at the booth will be two works that will be shown on a large LED wall at the fair. (Gerrard also previously showed with Simon Preston Gallery in New York, whose founder recently closed up shop to become a senior director at Pace.) "John's simulated worlds have helped us understand where art can go in the 21st century," Marc Glimcher, the CEO and president of Pace, said in a statement. —Alex Greenberger
Ceramics Collection Goes to Alfred University
Alfred University in New York said that it is acquiring the Miller Ceramic Art Collection for its Ceramic Art Museum. Put together by Marlin Miller and his with his first and second wives, Marcianne (Maple) Miller and Ginger it consists of more than 200 pieces. The news was first reported by The Leader.

Hello, all! I have a very special post to share with you all, one I've been excited about for awhile! The kind folks over at JORD Wood Watches sent me one of their stunning Fieldcrest Series watches to share with you all!
For those who don't know about JORD, they produce high quality watches, made from sustainably sourced wood with the aim of creating timepieces modeled those who value sustainable, simple, efficient and modern design. While the medium of their watches may be unique, they have a simplistic and classic look to them that is immensely pleasing to me. To read more about the brand check out their about page or read up on a few of the FAQs.
I really enjoy watches but tend to stick to the same one and wear it for a long time before splurging for my next one. Like any nice piece of jewelry, it's important to me to find the right style of watch that will work best with most of my outfits. While it's always fun to have a watch that works for just that one awesome outfit, I tend to make my purchases based on how wearable the item will be for me.
The Fieldcrest watch is just that. While it is definitely a standout watch (I've been wearing it to work for the past few weeks and have received many compliments on it), it isn't so flashy that I feel uncomfortable wearing it. The simplicity of the watch's face paired with the monochromatic maple wood is beyond stunning and works well with not only my work outfits, but my day to day pieces as well. Ideal for someone like me.
The Fieldcrest Series is produced in a classic midsize. The monochromatic wood face, bezel, and strap serve to showcase the intricacy of the wood grain. Designed to be androgynous, the attitude of the wearer is the final elemental design to this timepiece.
Each JORD watch is designed to be splash proof but is not intended for complete submergence in water. Also note that due to the nature of the wood chosen for each unique timepiece, colors and grain pattern may vary from photos.
I also created some nail art to pair with this watch - some simple monochromatic wood grain in the same color scheme as the watch.
All in all, I am absolutely impressed by this watch. It is so beautifully crafted and I love that it is created from sustainable wood. The large, yet lightweight design is striking yet not overpowering and is a great addition to any wardrobe. So far I haven't had any issues with it (though it did take some time to get used to wearing a larger watch).
You can purchase the Fieldcrest Series in various colors, along with the rest of the JORD line, directly from the JORD website. Be sure to follow JORD on your favorite social media site to stay up to date with their latest releases and promotions.
So, what do you think? Have you heard of this brand before? Do you like the look and style of a wood watch? Let me know your thoughts and if you'd ever wear a watch like this!

Q: Accessing list elements versus dict keys I recently wrote some code that accesses elements in a list of lists (which I created), and passes those elements to other methods to handle tasks. In a code review, I was informed that rather than accessing elements the way by index in a list, a dict may be better since I don't need to rely on an index. Although this was a personal preference of my colleague, I'm curious to know if there are any tech reasons why this would be ideal. I understand this argument if the list would not always contain the expected amount of elements, but since the data was coming from a data file and I know all elements will be present, I decided to use a list. Example below:
data = [
  [
   item0,
   item1,
   item2,
  ],
...
]

other_arg = something
for item in data:
  other_method(other_arg, item[1], item[2])

So I'm curious to better understand the differences in why it may be better practice to access elements using a key instead of an index, or vice versa. Appreciate any responses.

Japanese internet conglomerate SoftBank Group Corp, which has been a prolific investor in India with big-ticket bets on Flipkart, Ola and Paytm, said it has hired a top executive from multi-stage venture capital and growth equity investment firm Norwest Venture Partners as the country head for India.
"I'm delighted to welcome Sumer (Juneja) to the team," said Rajeev Misra, chief executive officer, SoftBank Investment Advisors and board director, SoftBank Group, in a statement.
Juneja, who is currently a director at Norwest, will play a pivotal role working on SoftBank's existing portfolio companies as well as sourcing new opportunities on the ground, added Misra.
SoftBank will also open an office in Mumbai to strengthen ties with the region's rapidly growing technology ecosystem, the statement said.
Juneja had joined Norwest in 2009. He has been involved in investments in Swiggy, Quikr, Yes Bank, IndusInd Bank, Shriram City Union Finance, Cholamandalam Finance, Kotak Mahindra Bank and National Stock Exchange (NSE).
Prior to joining Norwest, Juneja was a founding member of the Goldman Sachs' Asian Special Situations Group in India. He was earlier an analyst for the industrial and natural resources team in the investment banking division of Goldman Sachs. Juneja is a graduate of the London School of Economics.
The Masayoshi Son-led conglomerate has emerged as one of the most prominent investors in Indian tech startups.
The firm's involvement in the country harks back to before the investment boom years of 2014-15. Among its early bets was ad-tech platform InMobi, which it invested $200 million in 2011. The firm went on to become the first Indian unicorn – a startup valued at $1 billion.
Its $100-billion Vision Fund, set up with support from Saudi Arabia's PID public fund, Apple and Qualcomm, has given it scope to splurge and indulge in 'ambush' investments.
A case in point is Softbank's initial investment in homegrown e-commerce firm Snapdeal, which was followed by a larger investment in market leader Flipkart, when it realised that the former could not play catch-up. The SoftBank Vision Fund has since exited Flipkart after it agreed to sell its stake in the e-commerce company to US-based retailer Walmart Inc. in May this year.
Globally, the Vision Fund has invested in ride-hailing giant Uber and chip makers ARM Holdings and Nvidia.
The tech giant's India focus had hit a rough patch in 2016 when India-born former SoftBank Group president Nikesh Arora, who was tipped to be the successor to Masayoshi Son, quit suddenly. That has, however, not deterred the company from investing in India.
Earlier in June this year, India-born Misra became one of three executives to be elevated to the rank of executive vice-president at the Japanese tech investor.
However, Misra is in advanced discussions to launch a $200-250 million fund focusing on startups in the US, India and Southeast Asia, business daily Mint reported in July. SoftBank Group will be the anchor limited partner of the fund, the report said.


"The simple lack of her is more to me than others' presence."
I long for simple times and simple pleasures. While I was in California, I spent a lazy Sunday strolling through the beautiful grounds of Huntington Library and I'll be honest with you -- if I was a permanent resident of the area I would be more than content spending my weekends lazing my way through the various gardens. Plus, for someone like me who loves nature photography more than anything else, it is truly a treasure trove. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area or even locals who just have never been! Tops the list for one of my favorite spots to enjoy life's simple pleasures.

Inspire! Interviews With People Who Have Changed Bay Path University and Beyond: William L. Sipple, PhD
By Dr. Carol A. Leary
William L. Sipple, PhD
I first met Dr. William Sipple when we were 'students' in a post-doctorate leadership program at Harvard University. At the time, he was at Robert Morris University. We sat next to each other on the first day, and we instantly connected. Bill and I were at similar points in our careers, and I was impressed by the work he was doing at Robert Morris. It was not long after the Harvard program that I accepted the leadership role at Bay Path. The first vision plan of my presidency included launching graduate programs and attracting adult students. Key to reaching those goals was having an individual who had foresight and a "can do" attitude. I saw Bill at a professional conference I was attending and told him we were in the process of hiring our first provost! He submitted his resume, the faculty selection committee interviewed and selected Bill, and the rest is history. To say he played a pivotal role in reshaping the future of this University at a critical time would be an understatement. During his tenure he helped reinvent Bay Path into a multi-faceted graduate institution with multiple campuses, expanded academic offerings at the undergraduate and graduate level, and created online graduate programs. When he retired, the University had more than 2,000 students. Yet, beyond his accomplishments, what people remark about Bill is his curiosity, his welcoming personality, and his sense of humor. A true Renaissance man, he has a broad array of interests and is a devoted traveler. For Bill, learning is truly a lifelong passion. It is in this spirit of promoting learning that he recently established the The Dr. William L. Sipple Scholarship at Bay Path. His legacy and all his good works will continue, influencing new generations of Bay Path students. I will be eternally grateful to Bill for his leadership and his commitment to Bay Path.
Could you share a bit about your life journey and career?
I started my career in higher education by completing my master's degree (Gannon University) and doctoral degree (Duquesne University) in English Literature, as well as teaching at the college level at Gannon University, Duquesne University, Waynesburg University, and Robert Morris University. Over the years, I have held a number of positions at various universities, including Founding Dean of the School of Communications and Information Systems at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I came to Bay Path College in 1999 to become the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. My goals were to stabilize and diversify enrollment, establish financial viability, increase the number of doctoral qualified faculty, and improve facilities. In 1999, the One Day Saturday Program for adult women was launched and the Graduate School in 2000. Recognizing the potential for growth in this area, a new graduate degree was added each year thereafter. At the end of June 2010, I retired from Bay Path. I am honored to have served at Bay Path because I have helped it become a stronger University by diversifying its student population and building academic programs that were relevant to the marketplace. But overall, I am most gratified with my 50 years with my wife Jo-Ann, also an educator, and hope that we can continue to inspire others.
What are you most proud of in your career?
I think for anyone who is in the business of educating students, I am pleased with the influence I have had on my students and those touched by the programs we developed. I hear regularly from many graduates from Bay Path and my other institutions telling me I have had an impact on their lives, and I know then that I have done something very profound. I have changed a person's life for the better. And I am pleased I have enabled faculty to excel and reach their goals.
What is one regret that you have in your career?
No regrets really—perhaps my only regret is that it seems to all have passed by so quickly. Looking back, I can't help but think of the old saying: "so much to do, so little time."
What advice would you give to students at Bay Path who are setting out on their own life journey?
In offering advice, I think it is best to keep it simple: do your homework and keep your eye on the ball. There is a lot in this that applies to many life and work situations.

BJP shortlists candidates for all 28 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka | India News
BENGALURU: The BJP's Karnataka unit said Sunday that it has shortlisted candidates for all the 28 Lok Sabha constituencies and the party's central election committee would soon take a call on it.
"We have shortlisted the names of all the candidates (in Karnataka). The central election committee will take a decision on it and release the list," BJP state general secretary Arvind Limbavali told reporters.
He was speaking after the party's state core meeting here, chaired by BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa.
BJP general secretary and state unit in-charge P Muralidhar Rao, BJP organising secretary (in-charge south India) B L Santosh, former chief ministers D V Sadananda Gowda and Jagadish Shettar were among those who attended the meeting.
Limbavali said the state election committee would table the list before the central election committee, headed by its national president, but refused to divulge the names, saying the CEC would announce it later.
On the Mandya Lok Sabha seat, where chief minister H D Kumaraswamy's son Nikhil Kumaraswamy is pitted against multi-lingual actress Sumalatha Ambareesh, wife of late actor-turned-politician Ambareesh, he said the core committee discussed fielding a candidate.
However, the party kept its options open and would take a final call based on Sumalatha's decision, he said.
Mandya has gone to the JD(S) as per the seat-sharing agreement between the coalition partners Congress and the JD(S).
The party has planned to field Nikhil Gowda, grandson of former prime minister H D Deve Gowda and son of Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy.
However, Sumalatha's decision has disturbed the political equations.
Ambareesh had represented Mandya thrice in the Lok Sabha, the first time on a JD(S) ticket and twice on Congress ticket.
He was minister of state for information and broadcasting during the UPA-1 regime.
Limbavali said senior Congress leader from Hassan, A Manju would soon join the BJP after his meeting with Yeddyurappa.
Manju had been a vocal critic of Gowda and often expressed his displeasure in respecting the Congress-JD(S) coalition.

Festival Coverfolk: Grey Fox, July 17-20 (Bluegrass covers of Tom Petty, John Mayer, Richard Thompson, Bob Dylan (x2), and more!)
June 25th, 2008 — 09:42 am
Walsh Farm: the gorgeous new site of Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival
After over thirty years on the same site, for most regular festivalgoers, the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival experience has become intertwined with the landscape of the farm which hosted it, from the steep hill which formed a natural mainstage amphitheater to the even steeper hill which separated the entrance and parking areas from the main camping and festival site. So when the organizers of Grey Fox announced at this winter's Joe Val Festival that the farm had been sold, and that they would be moving the festival almost forty minutes north to Oak Hill, NY, there was some serious buzz in the bluegrass community.
It happens: farms fail; festivals move on. And certainly, switching sites changes things around a bit for any music festival. Figuring out where everything goes in a new and unfamiliar space can be disorienting. But making changes is also a great opportunity to revisit and re-establish the very values which do not change, the ones that bring us together each year. When Falcon Ridge Folk Festival moved from one farm to another three summers ago, for example, watching returning regular festivalgoers try to figure out where their "usual" camping spot was on a totally different field made for a fascinating sociological case study. But it was reassuring to see how gentle and cheerful everyone was about the whole process. Once we all settled in, we found our old friends, and had made some new ones, to boot. And by the time the music started, the place felt just like home.
Which is to say: though landscape and terrain certainly frame the experience of any outdoor festival, in my experience, it is the community and the music which make or break a music festival. And given that, Grey Fox fans have nothing to worry about. Having attended Grey Fox for several years, I can attest to both its strong and welcoming sense of community, and its well-deserved reputation as the best bluegrass festival in the Northeast, thanks to wonderful craft and food vendors, impeccable sound production, tight sets and staging, and a performance schedule chock full of artists that will knock your socks off.
This year's lineup, in fact, is one of the best I have seen, a veritable "who's who" of the very best artists in the surprisingly diverse spectrum of sound that is today's bluegrass. The list includes plenty of big names (see below), and many bluegrass community favorites, like International Bluegrass Music Association multiple award winners Missy Raines (bass), and Michael Cleveland (fiddle), both of whom impressed the hell out of me at Joe Valover the past few years. And the Grey Fox organizers have a good eye for new talent; it's a slow year if I only come away with a couple of new favorite and previously-unheard acts by the end of the festival's four day run.
There's banjo master Bill Keith, who has been a mainstay of the Northeast bluegrass scene longer than most folks knew there even was a Northeast bluegrass scene. All-female old-timey bluegrass group Uncle Earl do a great afternoon set every year; if you haven't heard them, know that they are often cited next to new folk artists (and Cover Lay Down favorites) Crooked Still and Sam Amidon as part of a rising generation of great neo-traditionalists. You'll find plenty of current chartbusters, such as the Nashville-based Dailey and Vincent Band, who lean towards countrygrass. And those are just the artists who I didn't have room for in today's download extravaganza.
Today, then, a few choice covers from just a few more of the great acts scheduled to play at the new, more gently sloping home of Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, July 17-20. Notably, this is just the tip of the iceberg; this year's roster is so good, it was hard to hold myself to a reasonable-sized list. But like the above survey, these artists comprise a representative sample of the "best of the fest" in more ways than one, ranging from traditional bluegrass groups to artists pushing the boundaries between jazz, appalachian folk, and newgrass, and from up-and-coming artists to still-vibrant mainstays of the bluegrass scene. Enjoy, and I'll see you in Oak Hill.
Infamous Stringdusters, 3×5 (orig. John Mayer)
I raved about the new self-titled sophomore effort from the Infamous Stringdusters a few weeks back; this John Mayer cover from their first album is a wonderful bluegrass take on one of my most beloved guilty pleasures, and I saved it especially for this post.
The Gibson Brothers, Somewhere Trouble Don't Go (orig. Julie Miller)
The Gibson Brothers, Cabin Down Below (orig. Tom Petty)
No Depression says bluegrass neotraditionalists the Gibson Brothers own "the classic brother duet thing", and I couldn't agree more. Their new album Iron and Diamonds is chock full of great covers; you probably know Tom Petty better, but the Julie Miller is my favorite.
Steep Canyon Rangers, Don't Ease Me In (trad./arr. Grateful Dead)
I posted the Steep Canyon Rangers version of this tradsong, based on an arrangement by the Grateful Dead, back in February, but like the rest of their newest album Lovin' Pretty Women, the cover still sounds fresh and exciting to me after multiple listens.
Abigail Washburn and the Sparrow Quartet, Who's Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Little Foot (trad.)
With jazz/fusion banjo innovator Bela Fleck, beloved indie cellist Ben Sollee (see bonus section here), and madcap fiddler Casey Dreissen, The Sparrow Quartet plays a stripped down form of appalachian-tinged double-banjo bluegrass with jazz and improvisational elements that fit right in at this year's eclectic Bonnaroo festival. They were one of last year's big discoveries for me; I'm eager to see them again.
David Grisman and Jerry Garcia, Blue Yodel #9 (orig. Jimmie Rodgers)
Mandolin player David Grisman is best known for his delicate, innovative work with Jerry Garcia and Old and In The Way, but this father of modern newgrass is still going strong as the frontman for the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience. This will be Dawg's only appearance in the Northeast this summer. Don't miss it.
Sam Bush, Girl From The North Country (orig, Bob Dylan)
Sam Bush is another mandolin player who helped originate the newgrass style. Here, he takes a solo shot at Dylan with just strings and voice, and nails it. I'd have included this in our previous Single Song Sunday feature on Girl From The North Country if I had it at the time, but it's never too late for greatness.
The Del McCoury Band, 1952 Vincent Black Lightning (orig. Richard Thompson)
Serious tradgrass old-timer and one-time Bill Monroe sideman Del McCoury has been enjoying a renaissance of late, and he deserves it: I have a half-dozen covers of this Richard Thompson tune in my collection, but this one blows them all out of the water. How can a guy this old sound so spry? PS: Nice review of Del's new compilation project over at Twangville.
Tim O'Brien, Maggie's Farm (orig. Bob Dylan)
Tim O'Brien with Hot Rize, Working on a Building (trad.)
Tim O'Brien is fast becoming a mainstay at Grey Fox, and he always puts in a great set with plenty of special guests. But the rare Hot Rize reunion, which includes all surviving bandmembers (O'Brien, banjo player Pete Wernick, and bass player Nick Forster, who folk fans know from his hosting duties on the nationally syndicated radio program E-Town), is something special: they'll attract the biggest crowd of the festival, but it'll be worth it.
And don't miss these other Grey Fox 2008 attendees which I've previously featured on Cover Lay Down:
Jerry Douglas covers Hey Joe (orig. Jimi Hendrix)
Abigail Washburn and the Sparrow Quartet also cover Nobody's Fault But Mine (pop. Grateful Dead)
The Grascals cover Viva Las Vegas (orig. Elvis)
The SteelDrivers don't cover anything, but I made an exception and posted two of their songs because they put the blues back in bluegrass better than any group I have ever seen, period.
Tempted? For a full list of performers coming to this year's festival, directions to the new site, and tickets galore, head on over to the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival website. I'll see you up on the hill at the new, gently sloping site July 17-20.

Hey, I got a wave back today!
Discussion in 'Spotted? Give 'em a wave!' started by bonzo, Aug 3, 2014.
Yup, at long last I got a wave back today! At about 5.50pm on the A140 Aylsham to Cromer road. I spotted a black Z3, (top down, good man,) heading towards Cromer. After a spirited drive in lovely late afternoon sunshine it was the icing on the cake as I made my way back to Aylsham.
It was probably your tax man bonzo.
Or a doctor with a flooded Z4 road testing his new motor.
Actually I think it was one of my psychiatrists!
I was walking past an accident scene in Essex a while back as a paramedic was treating a girl lying on the ground. Holding his hand in front of her face he said, "How many fingers have I got up?" She said, "Oh my gawd, I'm paralysed from the waist down!" He said, "Where are you bleeding from?" She said, "Bleeding Romford mate!"
Were you actually looking in the mirror Bonzo?
Oh come on mate, you can be a lot more imaginative than that can't you?
You have a fetish for older men don't you BMG?
Had a good chat with allan (bonzo) tonight.
Look forward to a Norfolk meet together with the EAC.

Danièle Diwouta-Kotto (born in 1960), is a Cameroonian designer and architect, member of the Cameroon architects association (ONAC) and founder of the V.A.A. Villes et Architectures d'Afrique organization.

Biography

Born in Cameroon, Danièle Diwouta-Kotto studied architecture and graduated in 1986 in France, at the Ecole d'architecture Paris-Villemin. In the same year, she created her own society Passerelle Sud and, in 1989, the architecture firm AGG Cabinet d'Architecture Diwouta. Her attention towards history, architectural heritage, environment, climate change and urban transformation in Cameroon and in other African cities have brought Danièle Diwouta-Kotto to realizing the publication Suites architecturales: Kinshasa, Douala, Dakar, published in 2010 as the first volume of the D'architectures & d'Afrique series. The realization of this publication started in 2003 and is based on a research concerning African colonial buildings and the different ways in which this kind of architecture has been transformed and re-elaborated.

In 2003 she produces the Kiosque à eau (water kiosk) in Douala's neighborhood Bessengue, commissioned by doual'art. This small building is conceived as a public fountain where people can buy both water and food. Its canopy in particular, goes back to Jesus Palomino's construction, realized within the Bessengue City workshop, organized by Goddy Leye and ArtBakery art center.

Between 1993 and 1994 her design work is shown at Salon MIC in Paris and Los Angeles; in 1995 she takes part at the collective exhibition Around and Around, promoted by doual'art. Her work is
presented, amongst others, at the itinerant exhibition Designers Africains d'Aujourd'hui and at
Dak'Art. In April 2001, she participates to the Havana Biennial.

Danièle Diwouta-Kotto plays an important role in the reflection on African design, architecture and urban development and also on the relation between art and urban transformations. In April 2003, she takes part in the Architecture et Développement durable (Architecture and Sustainable Development) conferences promoted by the French Cultural Centre of Douala, and in March 2005 she is at the convention Femmes Bâtisseuses at UNESCO in Paris. In January 2005 she takes part at the Ars&Ubis symposium promoted by doual'art as an introduction to the SUD 2007. In 2008, she participates at the seminar APERAU in Lomé, Togo, about Urbanisation en Afrique: Permanence et ruptures (Urbanisation in Africa: permanence and breakage). In 2010 she takes part at doual'art's exhibition L'Afrique Visionnaire-GEO-Graphics in Brussels.

Danièle Diwouta-Kotto is presented in the magazine Revue Noire, in the article number 13 in 1993; in November 2001, she is considered as one of the 100 people who make Cameroon move.

I am excited to have a photo on the Canon USA home page! Check out the all the images and the story behind the photo.
Water and Ice. Photographed in Iceland at f/16, 2.5 Seconds, ISO 100. Polarizer Photographing moving water at varying shutter speeds produces different looks, from a silky effect to frozen detail. When photographing the ocean surf, waterfalls, streams or any moving water, I often bracket the shutter speeds to create a variety of results.
In the vertical waterfall image in Iceland, the water appears smooth and gauzy. The horizontal image of the same waterfall presents more detail, permitting more shape with enough blur to endow the shot with a sense of motion. I like both effects, so I vary the shutter speed to get more or less detail. When bracketing the shutter speeds, review each image on view screen to judge the results. If you see silky water with no detail where it is all white, move to a faster shutter speed. If there is too much detail where the water looks like ice, use a slower shutter to add enough blur for a velvety water effect.
How fast or slow the water is moving is a factor to help decided shutter speed for the amount of blur or detail. A slow versus fast moving stream will have different effects at the same shutter speed. In addition, wider-angle lenses show less apparent motion compared to a telephoto from the same distance.
Waterfalls all fall at the same rate weather they are a faint stream or large waterfall. They gain momentum with the distance. The air resistance is the only factor that will effect the rate of water falling.
I photographed the waterfall below in Iceland. In the horizontal image, I used a .6 second shutter speed for a satiny effect, while the vertical image has a 1/10 shutter speed to show more detail.
Vertical waterfall above: Canon 5D mark II, 24-70 mm lens at 24 mm, f/16, Shutter speed .6, ISO 100. I used a polarizing filter. Smooth effect.
Horizontal waterfall: Canon 5D mark II, 24-70 mm lens at 24 mm, f/16, Shutter speed 1/10, ISO 100. I used a polarizing filter. More detail in the water with a faster shutter speed.
Using 1/125 of a second or faster with a medium telephoto lens helps stop the action on a waterfall and give it some detail. This image was photographed with the 70-300mm lens at 244mm, f/11, 1/250 second, ISO 200. Polarizer used to enhance the rainbow. Be careful as you can make the rainbow disappear when completely polarized.
For grand waterfalls, such as in Yosemite, 1/125 of a second contributes detail in the fast moving waterfalls. By contrast, I prefer 1/15to 1/30 of a second to smooth the slower moving water on the floor of water the valley.
Use a really fast shutter speed to stop the action of moving water. For waves at the ocean, I use around a 1/1000 of a second to get the detail in the splash. Each droplet freezes.
In the next examples, the ocean images have a 10 to 13 second exposure to blur the water, transforming the surf into a fog.
Morro Bay rocks and surf, Canon 5D mark II, 24-70 mm lens at 24 mm, f/16, 10 seconds, ISO 100. I used a 3-stop neutral density filter and a polarizer to smooth out the ocean surf.
Morro Bay sunset: Canon 5D mark II, F/16, 13 seconds, ISO 100. I used a 5-stop neutral density filter to obtain the softness of the waves.
Tripod: Using a STURDY tripod will be necessary for the slow shutter speeds. They are still a good idea for higher shutter speeds as they aid in fine-tuning the final composition. Keep in mind it is often windy at the base of a waterfall or around the ocean surf. Weigh down the tripod if necessary to avoid vibration or tipping.
Exposure: when taking a photograph, I decide whether the shutter speed or f/stop is the most important and set that first. Normally, I use manual mode and set the shutter speed first, followed by the f/stop. Next, I set ISO, ideally the native ISO for the camera, such as ISO 100 for Canon, or 200 for Nikon. Native resolution produces the least noise. If the shutter speed is too slow, I raise the ISO to the proper exposure. Finally, I add a filter, as discussed below.
Shutter Speed: In order to get slow shutter speeds for the satiny effect, try photographing in low light conditions since full sun may demand too fast a shutter speed for slow motion. For example: photograph at low light near sunrise or sunset on sunny days, with the subject catching the first or last rays of light. Exposure it easier when he water is in the shade; be aware that your color temperature will change, shifting toward blue. Overcast conditions work well most of the time.
Filters: Using a polarizer will reduce your shutter speed time by about two f-stops. Turn the polarizer to see the effect on shiny rock surfaces and note how the reduced glare reveals detail and form. However, be careful when using a polarizer so as not to take out desired colorful reflections. Neutral density filters (not graduated neutral density filters), grey in color, will reduce the light to the sensor, allowing for a slower shutter speed.
Ideas: Water in all its forms is a dynamic subject open to many approaches. I like photographing streams in the shade with green leaves reflected onto streams in the afternoon (Yosemite's Fern Spring is good for that). Photographing along Yosemite's Merced River at sunrise provides the opportunity to capture the warm reflections of the mountains in the river. Fall colors, the leaves lit with sun and the water in shade reflect leaves, is a perennial favorite.
Tips for keeping the lens dry:Use a lens hood to keep spray off the lens. Carry a hand towel or pack towel to dry the camera and tripod when you return to the car from the shoot.Use a chamois cloth to wipe the droplets off the lens. Chamois are used to wipe cars dry and it works just as well on the lens. If you are in heavy spray from waterfalls, the ocean or from rain it is helpful to use carry a small sized soft absorbent pack towel to wipe the lens of most of the water then use the chamois as it will get soaked too fast and become useless.
Tips for cleaning sea spray: First, use an air blower (not canned air) to remove any bits of sand or dust that might scratch the lens.
Next, wipe down your camera and lenses with a damp cloth to clean off the salt from the sea spray. Do this as soon as possible.
If you do get sea spray on the front element of the lens, use some lens cleaning fluid on a wipe or tissue and use that to remove it. Use lens cleaning solution and do not use abrasive or solvents. Wipe in a circular motion from the center outward. Do not put fluid directly on the lens. If it is very misty, bring the fluid and wipes with you to the ocean.
Another option is using a UV filter when at the ocean to protect the front element of the lens from the salt in the sea spray and you can clean the filter after the shoot in the same way as mentioned above.
Clean the eye-piece in the same way if it is needed.
Smooth Wave, Morro Bay, California: Canon 5D mark II, 70-300 mm f/4-5.6 at 135 mm, f/22, 0.4 second, ISO 100.
Wave in Action, Morro Bay, California: Canon 5D mark II, 70-300 mm f/4-5.6 at 300 mm, f/5.6, 1/1000th second, ISO 200.
Have fun photographing moving water and creating inspiring images!

Palace listed Grade I, wall fronting Palace Gate listed Grade II.
The City Wall is a Scheduled monument.
Private grounds
The Bishop's Palace, approached through the gatehouse with a fourteenth century arch, stands in generous grounds stretching from the south east corner of the cathedral to the city walls. The Palace dates from 1224 and although the early history of the garden is not recorded , it is perhaps the oldest in Devon. The medieval buildings were extensive but were truncated and remodelled from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, they were given their present exterior largely by Ewan Christian in1846-48 for Bishop Phillpotts. Butterfield carried out some further alterations in the 1870's. Celia Fiennes noted in 1695 that 'There is a long walk as well as broad, enclosed with rows of lofty trees which make it shady and pleasant, which went along a ditch and bank on which the town wall stands.' . The eighteenth century maps of the City show a garden layout which is largely retained. In 1805 Mrs Price of Chester thought the grounds were beautiful and approved of the paths which were not paved but made of ' green sod.' Extending to around 3 acres, the grounds contain some fine trees and a wild orchard garden. The modern sculptures give added interest.
