Falcon's Fury is a free-standing Sky Jump drop tower attraction at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay amusement park in Tampa, Florida, United States. Manufactured by Intamin subsidiary Intaride, the ride reaches a maximum height of , making it North America's second (Orlando Freefall is 430 ft) tallest free-standing drop tower. Riders experience about five seconds of free fall, reaching a speed of . The ride's name was chosen to invoke a falcon's ability to dive steeply at high speed to capture prey.

The project was originally planned to begin in 2012 with the ride opening in 2013, but it was delayed by one year. Construction began in 2013 with a scheduled opening date of May 1, 2014; however, the opening was delayed due to mechanical and technical issues. Following a preview opening to park employees in early August and a soft opening on August 16, 2014, Falcon's Fury officially opened to the public on September 2, 2014. Public response to the ride has been positive, with reviewers praising the height of the tower and the drop experience.

History

Planning for Falcon's Fury began around the time the park completed its Cheetah Hunt ride in 2011. Ground tests in the Timbuktu area (now known as Pantopia) revealed "interesting soil conditions", with steel beams and concrete required to reinforce the site.

Rumors that Busch Gardens Tampa might replace its Sandstorm ride with a  drop tower surfaced in the fall of 2011 when  Mäch Tower opened at its sister park, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, that August. Construction surveying was observed in January 2012. Two months later plans were filed with the city to build a drop tower, possibly for the 2013 season. Speculation about the new attraction's name began when SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, owners of Busch Gardens Tampa, filed trademark applications for "Desert Dive" and "Falcon's Fury" on May 2 and July 11, 2012, respectively, and bought the DesertDive.com domain name. When permits for the new ride differed from those for Mäch Tower in November 2012, rumors began that the seats would tilt forward. Due to the height of the attraction, approval from the Federal Aviation Administration was required. According to the FAA and the city of Tampa, the tower was supposed to be built in December 2012 and open to the public in 2013. For unknown reasons the project was delayed, with its construction pushed back to the second half of 2013.

On May 31, 2013, it was announced that Sandstorm would close on June 2 to make room for a new attraction. About two weeks later, on June 11, Busch Gardens Tampa announced plans for Falcon's Fury and construction began that month. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the park drove steel piles for the ride's foundation nightly for about a month.

On September 20, the tower for Falcon's Fury was shipped from Spain in nine sections, arriving at the park near the end of October; the ride's smaller parts had been delivered earlier from several European countries. Installation of one of the nine tower pieces was planned for every other night, with the last piece in place by New Year's Eve. Construction was done by the Adena Corporation, and on November 18 the first piece was installed. The ride's second piece was installed on December 2, and two more were installed by December 6. The fifth section was placed by December 21, and the sixth was erected by New Year's Day. The seventh tower piece was installed by January 3, 2014, and the eighth by January 5, reaching a height of about , and Falcon's Fury's gondola was seen at the park on January 12. The ride's counterweight was installed on January 22, and the tower was capped during the weekend of February 1. Work on the ride's electrical components then began. Assembly of the gondola was completed by the end of March. Testing was originally scheduled to begin in February, but due to construction delays the first drop tests were not made until April 15. Tower painting began in June, with its sunset motif estimated to take 60 hours over a three-week period.

At the end of February, Busch Gardens Tampa announced that Falcon's Fury would open on May 1, and on April 3 the park began a sweepstakes contest for its "Falcon's Fury First-to-Ride Party". A second, similar contest began on April 11, with fifty winners from each contest being among the first riders. A week later, the park announced that the ride's opening would be delayed, and several media events scheduled for April and May (including the First-to-Ride party) were cancelled. It was later disclosed that the delay was due to manufacturing and technical issues with the cables which pull the gondola up the tower. During the week of August 10, Falcon's Fury opened for park employees. On August 16 the ride soft-opened to the public, and two-and-a-half weeks later Falcon's Fury officially opened.

Busch Gardens Tampa temporarily closed Falcon's Fury for inspection following the Orlando FreeFall accident at ICON Park in March 2022. The drop tower would later reopen but then shortly close thereafter for regular maintenance. After a year of closure due to supply chain delays, the park announced Falcon's Fury would reopen for the Spring 2023 season.

Ride experience
Falcon's Fury has two shaded queue lines: a standby line which can hold guests for about 45 minutes, and a Quick Queue for guests with passes that allow them to bypass the standby line. Riders must be between  and .

When the riders are seated a catch car connects to the gondola and raises it to the top of the tower, which takes about one minute. Although the tower is  high, the gondola stops  lower. When it reaches the maximum height the seats tilt forward, with a computer-randomized wait time from one to five seconds. When the wait time ends, the gondola is released from the catch car into a five-second free fall reaching a maximum speed of . As the gondola passes through the pre-braking section, the seats rotate back into a vertical position. After the pre-brake the gondola enters the main magnetic-brake run, where riders experience approximately 3.5 g (34 m/s2) of deceleration as the gondola slows. When it comes to a full stop at the base of the tower, the riders disembark. One cycle of the ride lasts about one and a half minutes. Busch Gardens Tampa placed an Easter egg in the form of a painted Falcon's Fury logo on top of one of its buildings, which can be seen only from a certain side of the gondola.

Characteristics

The tower and gondola were manufactured by Intaride, a subsidiary of Intamin. The ride covers an area of about .

Tower
The Falcon's Fury tower is  tall, the third tallest free-standing drop tower in North America, and can bend  in any direction from the top to withstand hurricane-force winds. The tower is composed of nine sections, including the machine house. Each piece of the tower weighs up to , and the entire structure weighs about . The  machine house at the top contains four DC motors used to lift the gondola. Inside the tower is a  counterweight, composed of hundreds of lead weights, to help raise the gondola. The tower's foundation is made up of 105 steel piles, varying in depth from  to . A  eddy current brake system on the tower slows the gondola after its free fall. The structure is painted yellow, aqua and two shades of red.

Gondola

The ride's single gondola has 32 seats, grouped octagonally around the tower. Each of the eight sides seats four riders, and each seat has an over-the-shoulder restraint and seat belt. Falcon's Fury can theoretically accommodate 800 riders per hour. Carbon-fiber wings buttress each end of a group of seats, protecting outside riders' arms and legs during the drop. The gondola reaches a height of ,  below the top of the tower. When it reaches its maximum height the seats tilt 90 degrees forward, with the riders facing the ground (the first use of this feature on a drop tower).

Records
When Falcon's Fury opened it became North America's tallest free-standing drop tower. Although taller drop towers exist on the continent—such as Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom at Six Flags Magic Mountain and Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom at Six Flags Great Adventure, which reach drop heights of  and  respectively—those attractions were added to existing structures. Despite its height, the ride's maximum speed of  does not set a speed record. Other drop towers—such as Drop Tower: Scream Zone at Kings Dominion, which reaches —are faster. However, Falcon's Fury is the world's first drop tower whose seats tilt 90 degrees. Although tilting seats were first used by Intamin in 2001 on Acrophobia at Six Flags Over Georgia, their tilt angle is smaller.

Reception
The initial reception after the ride's announcement was positive. According to Lance Hart, a theme park enthusiast from Screamscape, "Instead of selling your picture ... they should sell baby wipes and clean underwear at the exit" and the ride could be the most frightening drop tower in the world. Robb Alvey of Theme Park Review called the ride the world's best drop tower, later ranking it one of the top 14 new attractions for 2014; Dave Parfitt and Arthur Levine of USA Today ranked Falcon's Fury in their top ten. Brady MacDonald of the Los Angeles Times originally ranked Falcon's Fury his seventh-most-anticipated ride for 2014; on an updated list, he ranked it 17th.

For safety reasons, construction on Falcon's Fury was done primarily at night. Residents near the park complained about noise from the pile driver during the laying of the foundation, and complaints about the ride's operating noise continued into August 2014.

According to the park and Twitter posts selected by news media, public response during the soft opening was positive; Total Orlando gave the ride five stars for teenagers and four stars for adults. On Coaster101.com "Ashley" said that although the restraints were tight, they were comfortable and not as tight as those on other rides, adding: "The drop on Falcon's Fury is different from any ride I have ever ridden. The best way I can describe it is that instead of leaving your stomach at the top of the tower, you take it with you to the bottom." According to Florida Trip Guides, the ride was a good addition to the park's attraction lineup: "Falcon's Fury is not for the faint of heart. I have ridden dozens of drop towers but this one is different. Something about facing straight down and falling really makes you nervous." Robert Niles of Theme Park Insider said that Falcon's Fury and other recent attractions were nearing the extreme of human tolerance; as a result, "You're getting to the point where instead of making an attraction more popular by having it achieve some type of record, you're actually limiting the audience for that." Randi Nissenbaum of Bay News 9 called the view from the top of the tower incredible, and although she was nervous at first she wanted to ride again. Sue Carlton of the Tampa Bay Times said, "it was terrifying and thrilling and I held on as hard as I could and yelled and closed my eyes and afterward stepped off rubber-kneed and exhilarated."

For the 2014 season, Busch Gardens Tampa expected attendance to increase by three to eight percent. However, IBISWorld Research predicted in June 2014 that combined attendance for the second quarter of the year had increased by about 0.3 percent for SeaWorld Orlando, SeaWorld San Diego, SeaWorld San Antonio, Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Busch Gardens Tampa. Compared to the same period in 2013, combined attendance for the first half of the year dropped by just over four percent. Busch Gardens Tampa blamed the lack of anticipated attendance increase partially on the delays in Falcon's Fury's construction.

Are Alcoholic Beverages Allowed on the Limos and Party Buses?
One major perk of doing business with a company such as Limousine Service Daytona is the fact that, because we are a limo carrier, alcoholic beverages are allowed on all of our limos and party buses. The only stipulations are that the driver can't provide the drinks and that everyone on the bus/limo must be legal drinking age.
How Much of a Payment Must I Put Down to Reserve a Bus or Limousine?
No matter your particular rental circumstance, we do require a deposit when you reserve your bus or limo. That insures that you will get the vehicle that you wish, during the times that you wish - and that deposit will subsequently come off of the total rental fee. The reservation fee is due when you call in and reserve - by credit card or debit card.
Am I Charged For Extra Stops During My Rental Time?
Within reason - and nearly everywhere is within the time windows in which our clients rent their party buses and limousines - you are allowed as many stops as you wish and also, you are not charged an additional fuel charge!
Is Smoking Allowed on the Buses and Limos?
To keep our vehicles in new condition and also because it is a state law in a commercially licensed vehicle, no smoking is allowed in the party buses or limos. Most smokers find that this is where the "unlimited stops and mileage" part of the rental is best put to use.
How do we make a reservation with Limousine Service Daytona?
We are able to accept reservations over the phone, via email, or in person! All that will be required is the aforementioned deposit, the time and date of your run, and either your choice of vehicle or a passenger capacity so that we can assign the proper vehicle to you.

The finished product as a first picture would have helped with your title. Plus, a little explanation about what this would be useful for would have helped, too. Then a step-by-step would have been good - to describe what each part is, as well as what it's used for. Were the lines made by passing through several times or were they from a different focus of the laser?
What do you use this laser line gradient for?

35 to 41 Station Road March 2011
The Bedfordshire Historic Environment Record [HER] contains information on the county's historic buildings and landscapes and summaries of each entry can now be found online as part of the Heritage Gateway website. The entry for 35 to 41 Station Road [HER 9217] describes them as a terrace of Bedford estate cottages dated 1865, built of coursed limestone rubble with yellow brick dressings and a hipped clay tile roof. The properties have two storeys and casement windows. They make quite a contrast with the other Bedford Estate cottages in the High Street.
The Dukes of Bedford were Lords of the Manor of Oakley Reynes from 1737 to 1918, meaning that they owned practically the entire parish by the mid 19th century. The Duke of Bedford sold the bulk of the Oakley Estate by auction on 31st October 1918. 9 to 15 Station Road formed Lot 38 which was described as follows.
A Group of Four Cottages
close to OAKLEY STATION
stone built and tiled, containing Five Rooms with Barns to each, and Gardens back and front. Situated in Pavenham Road, being Part [Ordnance Survey Field Number] 34 on the Plan, and extending to about
0 acres 2 roods 18 poles
(.612 Acre)
Held by Mr. Arthur Hurst, Mr. Joseph Eaton, Mrs. Hulatt and Mr. Thomas Panter on Quarterly Tenancies.
The Rating and Valuation Act 1925 specified that every building and piece of land in the country was to be assessed to determine its rateable value. Oakley, like most of the county was assessed in 1927 and the valuer visiting 35 to 41 Station Road [DV1/C115/1-4] found them owned by H. A. Emmett of Hill Farm.
Number 35, then numbered 4 The Village was occupied by A. Hurst who had paid rent of three shillings per week since 1918 for a living room and kitchen with three bedrooms above. An earth closet stood outside as did a "Bakehouse used by 8 cottages" and a "Barn attached to House". He commented: "Good Row of 4".
Number 37, 3 The Village, was occupied by W. C. Frossell who had paid rent of four shillings per week since 1918 for a living room and kitchen with three bedrooms above. An earth closet stood outside. Number 39 was in the occupation of Charles Woods who paid five shillings per week for the same accommodation as Number 37. Number 41, 1 The Village, was occupied by Mrs. B. E. Panter who paid rent of 18/3 per quarter for the same accommodation as next door.

This assortment studies at the most up-to-date study on an more and more pivotal factor for evolutionary biology: cooperation. The chapters are written from various disciplinary views and make the most of learn instruments that diversity from empirical survey to conceptual modeling, reflecting the wealthy variety of labor within the box. They discover a large taxonomic diversity, focusing on micro organism, social bugs, and, specifically, people. half I ("Agents and Environments") investigates the connections of social cooperation in social corporations to the stipulations that make cooperation ecocnomic and sturdy, concentrating on the interactions of agent, inhabitants, and setting. half II ("Agents and Mechanisms") makes a speciality of how proximate mechanisms emerge and function within the evolutionary technique and the way they form evolutionary trajectories. during the e-book, yes subject matters emerge that reveal the ubiquity of questions relating to cooperation in evolutionary biology: the new release and department of the gains of cooperation; transitions in individuality; degrees of choice, from gene to organism; and the "human cooperation explosion" that makes our personal social habit quite confusing from an evolutionary perspective.

Combining rules from philosophy, synthetic intelligence, and neurobiology, Daniel Dennett leads the reader on a desirable trip of inquiry, exploring such fascinating probabilities as: Can any folks relatively be aware of what's going in anyone else's brain? What distinguishes the human brain from the minds of animals, in particular these in a position to advanced habit?
In a global supposedly ruled via ruthless survival of the fittest, why will we see acts of goodness in either animals and people? This challenge plagued Charles Darwin within the 1850s as he built his idea of evolution via average choice. certainly, Darwin nervous that the goodness he saw in nature may be the Achilles heel of his concept.
The 7th overseas convention on Evolution Equations and their major components of purposes (where the emphasis evolves as time and difficulties switch) was once held October 30 to November four on the CIRM (Centro Internazionale consistent with l. a. Ricerca Matematica) in Trento, Italy. according to the fundamental ideas and the hot developments governing those foreign meetings, it introduced jointly a number of the world's top specialists within the fields pointed out, with specific attempt on facilitating the interplay of verified scientists and rising younger promising researchers, in addition to the interplay of natural and utilized experts.
This "contrarian behavior" will tend to improve social efficiency in a very noisy environment, while lowering it in a highly transparent one. However, as a further complication, when Corazzini and Greiner (2007) encouraged subjects to frame their choices in the familiar context of independent choices over lotteries, herding collapsed and individually irrational but socially efficient contrarian behavior abounded. The Hung and Plott finding carries a nice warning about reliance on intuitions in thinking about the relationship between descriptive and normative individualism.
This is important to issues raised later in the chapter. 4. This point is forcefully made by Thalos and Andreou (2009). 5. Orangutans were once thought to be solitary. This has turned out to be inaccurate as a generalization, and such solitude as is observed in some orangutans now appears to be a recent adaptation to habitat changes. See Dunbar (1988). 6. Psychologists sometimes understand episodic memory as necessarily involving narrative memory, which would confine it to humans. Donald's use of the term is more general, but still in the standard conceptual ballpark; he presents evidence that modern apes remember particular social situations involving specific individuals.
In this sense, "group selection" should not be controversial, but it also does not have the exciting philosophical consequences often attributed to it. Where social science is concerned, basic Darwinian theory supplies a constraint on modeling: No model should be accepted that requires genes to systematically dispromote the inclusive fitness of their bearers. West et al. , 2003, 2008) and models that appeal to "greenbeard" genes (Frank, 1987; Bergstrom, 2002; Bowles & Gintis, 2004).

MAVEN Commission: Jenny Holzer Collaboration
Jenny Holzer's conceptual works Blue Purple Tilt (2007), Protect, Protect, Shape the Battlefield (2007) and Purpose (Yellow, White) (2007) were on display as part of the Tate Gallery's Artist Rooms scheme, in Woking Surrey. There, Blue, Purple, Tilt has become the centrepiece for Censor(ed), the Maven Commission for the Woking Dance Festival 2010 by choreographer Angela Woodhouse and artist Caroline Broadhead. The commission for Woking Dance Festival offered a rare opportunity to engage the themes inherent in Jenny Holzer's work on a collaborative basis, which Holzer enthusiastically endorsed from across the Atlantic.

Maven Commission, by Angela Woodhouse and Caroline Broadhead.

BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, UK
5 March–16 May 2010
by JANET McKENZIE
Holzer's art practice belongs to the feminist branch of a post Post-Minimalist generation of artists, who share her sensibility and her desire to "fuse reading and seeing, taking language beyond words so that it becomes immersive and experiential".1 Emphasising the process in the collaboration, Angela Woodhouse acknowledges the influence of texts by such philosophers as Phenomenologist Merleau-Ponty who stated, "Life is not what I think but what I live through".2
Jenny Holzer's works, presented as part of Tate Artist Rooms, provided the context within which the solo-dance performance, the Maven Commission was conceived. Artist Rooms is the Tate Gallery's new collection of international contemporary art, which was created through one of the largest gifts of art made to a museum in Britain. The gift was made by Anthony d'Offay in 2008 with the assistance of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, the Art Fund and the Scottish and British governments. The collection of over 725 works includes work by key artists. The scheme is jointly owned and managed by the National Galleries of Scotland and the Tate on behalf of the nation. Individual rooms devoted to particular artists are made available throughout the country, including Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Jeff Koons, Jannis Kounellis, Sol LeWitt, Agnes Martin, Bruce Nauman, and Gerhard Richter. The exhibition of Jenny Holzer's work in the suburban centre of Woking, Surrey (just 20 minutes on the train from London) is fulfilling the programme's stated aim, "to create a new national resource of contemporary art that will be shared with museums and galleries throughout the UK so as to inspire new audiences, especially of young people".3
Since the early 1980s, Jenny Holzer has infused Conceptual Art's playful language with a seriousness and political engagement. She has employed Minimalism's evident elegance to launch a vitriolic attack on the political turmoil and material excess of the past two decades. Few contemporary artists have combined the rhetoric of political dissent with the language that was originally conceived as a form of internal reflection. Holzer explores the unhealthy relationship between political violence and the media that reports it, and sometimes aggravates the position, by appropriating both the slogan-like one-liners and the actual apparatus of advertising and mass media. Her work in the 1970s was technically understated – hand-pasted posters in New York, with her Truisms – trite, impudent statements, a backyard philosophy, ridiculing the mundane nature of life in Middle America. She moved to LED, moving-type signage – outdoors or in museums. As Eleanor Heartney observes, "Such disjointed litanies deliberately imitate and undermine the authoritative, even propagandistic tone of advertisements, public service announcements, and so-called opinion leaders, encouraging viewers to question these stealthy, often disembodied voices".4
The 2010 Woking Dance Festival's choice to commission a dance piece in response to the Holzer Artist Room is a most inspired one, enabling an original and challenging collaboration with visual artist, Caroline Broadhead and choreographer Angela Woodhouse. Censor(ed), is performed by Henrietta Hale; it is performed in silence and runs for 20 minutes. The work is made in response to the themes inherent to the works on view at The Lightbox Gallery in Woking and incorporates the work Blue Purple Tilt as part of the experience. Caroline Broadhead describes her response to the work:
Visually Blue Purple Tilt, has both a fairground attraction in its bright and flashing lights and it is an assault on the eyes. The colour, and the changing lights, tints the room, so everything is tinged with the pink, blue and purple and gives the surroundings an intense rhythm. When you start to look, it is dizzyingly fast, and moving upward and vertically, to read, and although they all say the same thing, your eyes are flitting across all seven lines to check. As you look closer, your eyes can start to see the shapes surrounding the letters and then you lose the ability to read. The text is just as changeable. The sentences are sometimes obvious, personal, funny, clichéd, so you can't understand what / who you are reading from. It is the fleeting change, together with uncertainty and the sense of many voices that is most potent. The form of the piece is insistent and dominant.5
Angela Woodhouse describes Holzer's work in The Lightbox Gallery, Woking as imposing and demanding. Blue Purple Tilt emits light, which affects the entire gallery space. In Purpose (Yellow, White) using censored documents obtained by Holzer under the Freedom of Information Act the overbearing issue is the stark obliteration of information, in visual terms, and in the ramifications of that very process that Holzer seeks to highlight. Woodhouse describes her response from the point of view of choreographer:
The dense black ink draws you to imagine what is behind it. In considering the dancer (Henrietta Hale) the thought came to Caroline of eyes being seen or not, invoking an image prevalent in the media of masking the eyes to protect the identity of either an assailant or a victim. In addition we acknowledged that sharing a space with the performer (the audience and performer would be together in the gallery) implies a level of intimacy – but if one is to cover the eyes there is a tension between this intimacy and apparent distance enforced by masking the full identity of the performer.
This visual statement opened up a physical challenge of imposing a flatness to the space, and therefore to the performer. As part of this decision we would work with the audience split between both sides of the performer – they would be invited to stand in predetermined boxes marked out with black tape. In this respect the task was set to make two works simultaneously – one for the back and one for the front. The audience would only be privy to their exclusive view. However they would also be faced with the possibility that they could step over the line at any time – there was nothing that physically trapped them accept their own compliance.6
Broadhead and Woodhouse, have worked together over a period of ten years whilst also continuing their separate work. They explain that it has always been important to set challenges but also to remain practically focused: "always having an eye on the special experience for the audience that brings with it questions about how finally they affect, and ultimately make the piece. The collaborative process is played out through intense discussion to agree the central focus. We freely comment on each other's developments as a means of checking and re-checking the overall development of the work and its effect".7 Angela Woodhouse is a choreographer trained in dance and visual art. Her recent work has been exploring detail and intimacy through site and installation work. She addresses the creation of highly charged atmospheres, which she describes as, "quiet and powerful, minimal and intense".
For the Maven commission the positioning of the performer was important; her centrality in the space was key to the work's meaning. Holzer's work is paradoxical – outwardly simple and highly complex. Her Truisms are intentionally glib but they make reference to deeper issues; the minimal design coupled with an overpowering sensory effect of LED create an unsettling dichotomy. The remit for choreographer and artist was therefore a challenging one, as Woodhouse acknowledges:
Blue Purple Tilt is difficult to look into and for Holzer the pain of looking resonates with the often traumatic subject matter. She plays with colour and rhythm to accentuate the emotional and moral questioning inherent in the text. Our purpose was to incorporate and open up the experience of Blue Purple Tilt. On one side the presence of the performer and her actions act as a distraction to looking at Holzer's piece yet the fixity of place for the audience, and the scrolling text ever present in front of demands attention. The other audience group stand with their backs to the text. They see the light reflected on the dancers body in particular the skin of her hands, which seem to hover in the space, and also on the changing reactions of the opposite audience group. While drawn to look at out there is a temptation to look over their shoulders. Both audience groups in differing ways are being pulled in two directions, and this reflects the inherent tension in Holzer's piece between the desire to read the text and yet the pain in doing so.8
Caroline Broadhead is a visual artist who creates large-scale installations. Using space and light she creates subtle atmospheres, and the sense of being at a threshold or otherwise in-between drawing attention to that which is barely there, or even absent. Broadhead trained initially as a jeweller. The emphasis of her work stems from the focus of jewellery but explores the relationship of objects to the person, and the individual's relationship to the environment – to the natural world and the built environment. She describes her art practice:
I started on ideas around the changing nature of an object when worn or not; the ability to manipulate and change the identity of an object; the potential for movement and/or restriction when being worn. This led onto the idea of garments acting as metaphors for people, carrying information that reveals a personality or psychological state. The continuing theme was the body, the way we present, package and decorate our bodies, how that wrapping can reveal underlying tensions and contradictions and how the body appears to have an important boundary between self and non-self. A further development was the inclusion and exploration of shadows – the negative double of the body – as an indication of a presence, or absence; the exaggeration or distortion of a person; the transparency of shadows and the way they affect the surfaces on which they fall; shadows that trace the pathway of the sun. The shadow as an image with no substance, the alter ego, the dark side, the inescapable other, gave me the opportunity to focus on the non-material. By giving 'body' to a shadow I was giving more importance to the things that are not immediately apparent.9
Angela Woodhouse and Caroline Broadhead were drawn to the strong political context presented in Jenny Holzer's conceptual work where she explores notions of concealment, in government processes with regard to the Iraq war; in doing so she lays bare the heartlessness of bureaucrats who plan war on paper. Government officials are seen in Holzer's work to be concealing vital evidence, whilst ostensibly acting on behalf of the people. The immaculate rendering of the maps, in contrast to the havoc they represent Broadhead found particularly repugnant. They describe their dance collaboration:
These elements of [Holzer's] work became the focus for Censor(ed). Our artistic response was to play a game with notions of secrecy and control. The negotiation of proximity was a core aspect to the project. The intimacy of the performer a few feet from the audience appeared to make her available, 'one of us', but there also remained a sense of something out of reach. Being able to see or not being able to see was a central theme in the design and structure of the piece. The performer stands in the centre of the space her eyes blanked out with a black rectangle. Time is given to contemplating her presence. With Henrietta's eyes covered the audience are 'shut out' – and this is intended to create some discomfort. She is dressed in a formal, black, yet transparent garment suggesting both authority and vulnerability – a contradiction compounded by the subtle gestural language that could indicate perpetrator, arbitrator, or victim. The split audience observes a different aspect of the performer, either her front or her back, and inevitably they are observing each other. As the dancer performs very quiet, internalised gestures a tension is created as to what the other group is seeing; the piece plays with this sense of secrecy and delicate disclosure. Her final advance and disappearance within one audience group points to our own selves as complicit in such violent acts and political games.10
Jenny Holzer's Blue Purple Tilt is a disarming work, which plays on the sensibility of the viewer. Since the 1970s she has used provocative statements to elicit debate. Her text-based works present and call into question the rhetorical strategies implicit in language, drawing on a wide range of texts, from philosophical tracts to fundamentalist Christian preaching. As the critic for the New York Times observed last year in response to Holzer's survey show at the Whitney Museum of American Art, "Basically, Jenny Holzer has spent the last three decades pelting us with unsettling and increasingly relevant portents of things to come. In tones alternately poetic or oracular, inflamed or numb, Big-Brotherly or tender, Ms. Holzer's terse snippets of prose have warned of evolving threats to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. She has tracked the inner thoughts of bereft lovers or shell-shocked survivors and articulated the baser instincts unleashed by social chaos. To do this, she has turned various user-friendly, pop-culture modes of public address into early warning systems, including posters, T-shirts, billboards, broadsheets, plaques, giant projections and incised marble benches. Electronic LED signs are her best-known, most spectacular method; they also reflect the military-commercial-entertainment complex that, bit by bit, her art exposes".11
Through the re-presentation of classified documents with adjustments made to scale or colour, Holzer reveals the sinister motivation of politicians who justify secrecy as the protection of individual citizens or particular groups in society. The extreme nature of the secrecy inevitably leads to its failure. Holzer captures the uncomfortable paradoxes that exist in the role of the secret services in democratic societies within global culture. Censor(ed) finds a visual and spatial language to extend Holzer's play with contradiction, as Woodhouse explains, "The dancer, Henrietta appears both pleading and forceful and her gestures serve to play with the ambiguity of her persona – she could be seen as negotiator, leader, victim, or perpetrator. Her behaviour appears to control the audience and yet she appears at the mercy of our gaze".
She goes on to reflect on their role in the project and the influence of Minimalism: "In a sense we are expounding on Holzer's work, revealing Holzer's work but also interrupting it. There is an understanding within conceptual work that the audience are invited in and they play within many meanings that are the sum of their own experiences. For me it is not simply a question of how the viewer may read the work but how they form the experience that they then have. The dance becomes an encounter with themselves – their own temperature, their own breath and their own gesture. I am reminded of Martin Creed when he [says that in] taking something away there is always something left. I am interested in these questions, particularly in the context of dance, around what is visible, and the heightened awareness of the viewer to create a particular and sensitized atmosphere in performance".12
The Artist Rooms scheme has precipitated an original and provocative dance collaboration for the Woking Dance Festival that has met with the enthusiasm and support of Jenny Holzer, herself who sent Angela Woodhouse and Caroline Broadhead each an art work as a gesture of her appreciation. The nature of the performance captured the audience for a given time, which artist and choreographer regarded as a great privilege.
For those who missed the Woking Dance Festival's collaboration, The Baltic Centre, Gateshead opened Jenny Holzer, on 5 March, which runs until 15 May 2010. Holzer's powerful works are displayed over two large galleries, consisting of paintings, sculptures and Holzer's spectacular LED installations. A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition with essays by Elizabeth Smith and Joan Simon and an interview with Holzer by Benjamin H.D. Buchloh.

The Harry Hampton Memorial Wildlife Fund has presented the S.C. Department of Natural Resources with a check for $149,100 to be used for statewide conservation projects during 2016.
The presentation was made in Columbia Friday, March 18 during a meeting of the S.C. Natural Resources Board, the policy-making body of the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
The total donated to DNR by the Hampton Wildlife Fund over the years now stands at $3,332,555.
The Harry Hampton Memorial Wildlife Fund is a private, non‐profit corporation that partners with DNR for the promotion of natural resources and natural resource education, which benefits the conservation of wildlife, marine and other resources in South Carolina. Funds are obtained solely through private donations and special promotional projects and fund-raising events. Although some of the funds are donated to special projects run by the DNR, they are not used to replace any of the department's programs already supported by state appropriated money.
"The mission of the Hampton Wildlife Fund is to support DNR in its role as stewards of this state's vast natural resources," said Dr. Julius L. Leary of Greenwood, Hampton Wildlife Fund board chairman.
"We thank the many who so generously support our fund-raising efforts, allowing us to help fund DNR's great work in the Palmetto State," said Jim Goller of Beaufort, Hampton Wildlife Fund executive director and a DNR retiree.
Public education about wildlife and marine resources management and conservation is a major thrust of the fund's purpose. Scholarships are annually awarded to South Carolina resident students to attend a Palmetto State institution of higher learning majoring in wildlife, fisheries, forestry, biology, zoology, marine science, environmental science or related fields. One scholarship is awarded annually in the field of law enforcement/criminal justice, and another is awarded in the field of journalism.

When I interviewed Don Bigg in Casablanca in 2008, he told me that his goal was for his albums to be in the rap bins at Virgin and FNAC, not the World Music bin. Steeped in the hip-hop tradition, there was no place other than the rap category where his music belonged — still, as a non-Western artist (rapping in Moroccan Arabic), there was always a chance he'd end up in the World Music bin. His new album Byad ou K7al (Black & White), released 24 Dec. 2009, reached #10 on the Amazon (France) list of best-selling album downloads. A chart without genre breakdowns (no bins, virtual or otherwise) creates another kind of reality. If you search "musique du monde" on Amazon (France) Bigg is nowhere to be found but search in the "hip-hop/rap" category and, voila, there are the tracks from his new album.
What you crazy, you trynna make a fool of me?


This is a little stack of gold coins, each with an engraving of a flat-headed man on the front and the cryptic legend "1z" on the back. It being made of worthless gold, you can't trade it for normal goods or services, but maybe you could sell it to an antiques collector or something.
These coins are clearly zorkmids, depicting one of the Flathead dynasty from the Zork series.
The item picture depicts the common symbol for gold in a Roguelike such as NetHack, which also refers to its gold coins as zorkmids.

THE ADDICTIVE TRUE CRIME PODCAST FOR YOUR NEXT COMMUTE
by TheChicItalian October 1, 2018
All affiliate links are marked with a *
I've been into listening to podcasts for a time now. I love listening to a podcast when I get ready for the day to get inspired but sometimes I just want to listen to stories. My favorite stories are by far the ones that fall under the true crime podcast genre.
When I worked in an office I always had to travel by train for more than an hour. Perfect to pop in my headphones & listen to an episode. Or even when I was working on designs or planning social media, I would listen to a podcast episode.
If you're into true crime cases as much as I am, than these podcasts are perfect for your next commute:
SERIAL (SEASON ONE)
First up is the OG of the bunch. The podcast that started my true crime podcast addiction. I started listening to this podcast a couple of years ago & got hooked straightaway. The first season of Serial is about the case of Adnan Syed who has been serving a life sentence for almost 20 years for killing his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee. However, he claims that he didn't do it.
During the whole season they go over all the evidence in the case. They retrace his steps, interview people & try to see if there is reasonable doubt. You'll be wondering while listening to every episode on your commute whether he is telling the truth or not. And if you're anything like me, you'll be going down a rabbit whole of Googling the case in the evening.
Listen to Serial season one on iOs. There is also a season two & three that have a different story.
FOLLOW-UP PODCAST: CARRIER
Serial season one felt like an audiobook to me. And even though Serial is about a real case with real victims, I wanted to suggest to check out Carrier after listening to season one of Serial. Carrier is fictional & not a regular podcast. They call it a dimensional listening experience and you are advised to wear headphones to get the full experience. The story is about a female truck driver that picks up a trailer with a suspicious cargo inside. It's not true crime but definitely a podcast you can listen to if you have a short commute and you love a storytelling podcast like Serial.
Listen to it on Apple podcast here or on Spotify.
UP AND VANISHED
The Up and Vanished true crime podcast is a podcast about investigating missing persons cases. The podcast has two seasons of which one has a pretty satisfying ending. An ending most investigative true crime podcasts dream of. When Payne Lindsey was reporting on his podcast about the Tara Grinstead case, he didn't just uncovered new evidence but the focus of the case led to persons of interest. Even with knowing this, it's an interesting true crime podcast that explores the evidence & has interviews with witnesses.
At the moment season two is well on its way & takes on the case of Kristal Reisinger. A mother who left home to live in a remote town to work on herself. Instead of finding enlightenment she disappeared & no one knows what exactly happened to her. To be continued…
You can listen to Up and Vanished on your next commute on iOs, Soundcloud & Spotify.
FOLLOW-UP PODCAST: THE MURDER SQUAD
If you liked how Up and Vanished season one went and loved how there was a little bit of a resolve, you will love The Murder Squad. This podcast is part of the Exactly Right network of My Favorite Murder and focuses more on the victims of unsolved cases. The premises is that as a true crime junkie you've been interested in the cases and now it is the time to put all your knowledge to help with these unsolved cases. Go on your own investigation and maybe there will be more cases that will get resolved.
EDITED: WHAT TO LISTEN INSTEAD OF SWORD & SCALE
I haven't listened to any Sword & Scale episodes anymore so I wanted to update with other true crime podcasts that also discuss true crime cases:
MY FAVORITE MURDER
So this podcast is a little different than the other ones on this list because this is a true crime comedy podcast. No they don't make fun of the victims but they do make the cases a lot more fun to listen to. It's hosted by two women which makes it even better. My favorite episodes so far (I am still catching up):
EPISODE 184: Part of this episode is actually about two women from my hometown. I would not say that this is my favorite murder but the case is really interesting and bizar but most of all very tragic.
EPISODE 185: This episode is I the funniest ones so far — even though it is still about murder. The story about the fake doctor is so ridiculous and the commentary is gold.
EPISODE 189: This is the latest episode and has a pretty recent, crazy story that doesn't involve murder. The story sounds a lot like the movie the Orphan and is just as crazy. It is an unresolved case at the moment I think. The second story however is one insane murder story, so buckle up.
MINI EPISODES: If you want more light-hearted stories, check out the mini episodes. In these ones the women behind the podcast read listeners stories. It's sometimes crazy, sometimes sad but mostly funny.
CASEFILE
Casefile is a more serious podcast that retells the stories behind the cases and is narrated by an anonymous host. It's very well researched, respectful to the victims and has a lot of Australian stories. The five part case series about the Belanglo murders was really interesting and the first one you should check out. The second I would recommend is Case 30 about the Claremont serial killer. It's one of the cases that for some reason really stayed with me.
This podcast is another female led podcast that goes over different cases. There are unsolved ones, mysteries, murders and more. They run through the cases and focus on the facts of them. I think the one episode that's worth checking out is the episode about the killer on the High Bridge about the unsolved murders of Abby & Libby.
THE TEACHERS PET
This is the podcast I'm binge listening right now when I'm doing design work or editing photos. I read about this podcast online. As a true crime podcast lover I needed to add this to my que. So I haven't catched up with all the episodes yet, but so far so good. Or more like mind blowing. This true crime podcast is about Lynette Dawson — a young mother of two kids — who left her home. But as the years went by it became clear that she did not ran away but probably died the day she presumably left home.
The whole podcast dives into the story: why it wasn't investigated properly, why people just assumed she just left when there were signs of abuse & they uncover another big scandal. So far I've been wondering — along with many others — why her husband hasn't been locked up. If not for her murder, than for being in a relationship with one of his students. Yes, it's a rollercoaster ride to listen to. If you're a true crime fanatic, you'll want to listen to this one!
You can listen to The Teachers Pet on iOs, Android & Spotify.
SIMILAR PODCAST: UNCOVER
If you like the more investigating podcasts like Serial or The Teachers Pet, then this might be a podcast for you. Every season explores a different unsolved case in Canada that is personal to the journalist that runs the season. I especially thought the cat lady case was interesting but they are all worth checking out and stories that need to be (re)told.
The Gateway is the odd one out. This story has more of a cult vibe — another one of my favorite genres. It focuses on the internet spiritual guru Teal Swan & the unconventional advice she has for people struggling with mental health issues like depression. The host of this true crime podcast — Jennings Brown — stumbled upon her videos & started looking into her practices. He even went to her retreat center to see for himself what goes on there but also to talk to the woman in charge — who obviously denies claims of running a cult.
What I really find interesting is how she "entered" the lives of her followers through insanely good (video)marketing & the stories about the Satanic Panic in the 80s. The podcast goes places you will not have anticipated when you start the podcast. But I'm sure you'll be listening to it on your commute to work & when you go home.
You can listen to The Gateway podcast on iOs, Android & Spotify.

Last year we asked our Facebook fans to choose the ingredient they most wanted to see our tomatoes paired with as part of our Savor the Summer contest. Corn was the winning ingredient but blueberries was an incredibly close second. Thanks to Wyman's of Maine, wild blueberries are always in season in the frozen food section of your supermarket so we wanted to offer a creative way to use them along with our tomatoes.Thanks to the talented Liz Harris of Floating Kitchen, this savory-sweet naan-style pizza makes for an easy lunch or light dinner. If you can't find naan, you can use pita bread or your favorite pre-cooked pizza crust instead. ENJOY!


Many people think of alcoholism as being the term used for anyone who drinks a large amount of alcohol, but this is not a term to be used for every habit of drinking alcohol. Alcohol abuse actually isn't alcoholism or alcohol addiction at all, though it can lead to alcohol addiction with prolonged use. Alcohol abuse can be dangerous on many levels, both to yourself physically and psychologically as well as to others around you. Many people drink and drive, for example, when abusing alcohol which puts everyone on the road at risk. Here is a guide to help you learn more about alcohol abuse.
Alcohol abuse is a certain pattern of drinking that consists of drinking and certain situations within a 12-month period or longer. For example, if you drink for 12 months or longer and get into situations that are dangerous, like drinking and driving, stop attending work or school, start slacking on your home and financial responsibilities, have legal problems due to alcohol like being arrested for being drunk in public, or your drinking affects personal relationships, you are showing signs of alcohol abuse. However keep in mind many people can drink alcohol their entire lives on a regular basis and never have any issues; this is where the average drinker and someone abusing alcohol differ.
Having a family history of drug or alcohol abuse.
A history of emotional, psychological or physical abuse.
Being male – men are 3 times more likely to abuse alcohol.
Starting to drink at a young age.
Having a mental disorder such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder.
Using other substances such as tobacco, prescription drugs, or illegal substances.
Having friends that abuse alcohol.
Working or living in an area with alcohol drinkers.
Failing to have other types of satisfaction in your life.
Feeling guilty or ashamed about your drinking.
Hiding drinking habits from others.
Knowing family or friends who have been concerned about your drinking.
Requiring a drink to relax, be happy or feel better.
Blacking out often while you were drinking and not remembering the events.
Drinking more than you intended on a regular basis.
Neglecting work school or home responsibilities.
Failing to pay bills, rent or buy groceries in lieu of purchasing alcohol.
Being in dangerous situations because of drinking.
Having financial or legal problems as a result of your drinking.
Letting the drinking problem outweigh personal relationships.
It is common to confuse alcohol abuse with alcoholism or alcohol addiction, but they have several differences. Alcohol addiction is a more severe case of a drinking problem and causes you to completely surround your life with alcohol, buying more alcohol and drinking alcohol. Nothing else matters to you as long as you can drink more. You have a complete loss of control and are physically dependent on alcohol. Drug abuse on the other hand, can be more controlled, but you would prefer to drink than to do most things and still let a lot of your responsibilities come in second place to the drinking.
If you or someone you know is dealing with alcohol abuse and showing any of the above symptoms, you should start getting help as soon as possible. The sooner you get help for your alcohol abuse problem, the more successful treatment will be. Recovery is dependent on the treatment program you can get from a local rehab center as well as how much you want it. Many will tell you to admit you have a problem before seeking treatment, but as long as you're willing to try and enter an alcohol rehab center, you're on your way to becoming clean and sober.


The box jellyfish is shaped like a cube and has 4 distinctive sides. These jellyfish have been given the common name "box jellyfish" because of their shape. Their body is light blue and transparent and can grow to be 20 centimeters long and weigh 2 kilograms, or 4.5 pounds.
A box jellyfish can have a maximum of 15 tentacles in each corner of the cube, and these tentacles grow to be up to 3 meters or 10 feet long. Each tentacle on the box jellyfish can have up to 5000 nematocysts, which are the stinging cells. The box jellyfish uses its tentacles to catch its prey, like small fish and crustaceans.
The very powerful venom of the box jellyfish is kept inside stinger cells which are designed to release venom when they detect the presence of certain chemicals, and not by touch. This means that if your skin did not release certain chemicals you would be able to touch a box jellyfish and not be stung. Once the stinger cells detect the correct chemicals, like the ones exuded by human skin and fish scales, they instantly inject their venom into their victim.
Box jellyfish like to stay at river mouths, estuaries and creeks, especially after rain fall. When the tide rises they tend to move to shallower waters. They dislike deep water and rough seas. They are not found over coral reefs and areas with much sea grass or weeds. The box jellyfish avoid going deep underwater, especially during wet and high tide seasons.

This year, during the meetings of the Security Council, one of the most urgent humanitarian problems of mankind at this stage of development will be discussed. Terrorist attacks, famine and piracy — these things are widely known to anyone who has ever been interested in the current state of affairs in Somalia. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the many attempts that were aimed at bringing peace to the African Republic. That is why this year we face a great challenge — to be able to work out possible ways out of this «vicious circle». As an expert of the Security Council, I urge all delegates to be active and non-standard-minded, because as John Locke correctly put it, «sometimes it is more valuable to think correctly than to know a lot». Thus, I encourage all of you to join our efforts in an attempt to realize the goals and objectives of the UN.


Recently at my organization there was a need for a new piece of software and a very short timeline to develop it. The Executives came to me about making sure the project was completed on time. I had 2 requirements before I would accept the project: 1. I would not use our Software Development Life Cycle process (SDLC); 2. I would manage the project with a co-manager who heads up our network systems group.
So why would we ditch our predefined SDLC process?
Our SDLC process has many excellent documents and procedures on the process, but the issue with using it for this project was a short timeline and we wanted to review the software as it was being built (which helped us determine those requirements that we were not sure of at the start). So I wanted to move forward with an Agile method.
I wanted this so we could develop our own documentation templates that we could use for future projects and hopefully after several projects we can prove to the executives that an Agile method is an acceptable method for us (we would need to calm their fears about FDA reviews).
We started by first selecting a team of expert content users (the stakeholders). Many times I've seen software development projects where the executives sit in each meeting. Why? I understand why they are there for the kick-off, but if they are not going to use software (so they are not expert content users, but they are a stakeholder) we spend a lot of our time in meetings explaining how things work to them. Having the right team is critical for this process to work (Jesse Fewell recently wrote an article about this: Tail of two teams).
You want to meet again?!?
The key to making this work is frequent face-2-face meetings for the team to report what they have done and what they are doing next (helps to keep people on track) and this is an opportunity for show and tell of the software. Agile methodology recommends daily meetings, but we stuck with meeting 2-3 times a week. During these show and tell times some new requirements came out and we determined if they were within scope of the project and, if so, what phase to put them in and determined if there was any effect on the timeline (changes are welcome). Now, this is in contrast to the SDLC or waterfall model is its inflexible division of a project into separate stages, where commitments are made early on, making it difficult to react to changes in requirements as the project executes. This means that the waterfall model is likely to be unsuitable if requirements are not well understood/defined or change in the course of the project.
Our lessons learned from this process was that it was key to only have the expert users at our meetings and having more than 1 meeting a week really kept the project moving along.
