Artist Terence Koh — best known for wearing all white and selling series of his own excrement plated, in gold, for $500,000 at Art Basel, as well as saying things like, "I'm the Naomi Campbell of the art world" — is rethinking his "art is a party" attitude. Or maybe the party was just over. "I recently left all galleries to live on mountain," he emailed, in his customary child-speak, when asked about where he'd disappeared to. "I donut [sic] have cellphone or read news." Indeed, Koh is no longer represented by his galleries in New York (Sean Kelly), Paris (Thaddaeus Ropac), or Berlin (Peres Projects, whose owner, Javier Peres, says he initiated the split several years ago: "I closed the door on that chapter and haven't looked back since").
Now, from his 96-acre plot of farmland in the Catskills, a location he identifies only as "Pantöu," a Greek word meaning "everywhere," Koh is rethinking what he does and how he does it, and plans on focusing on "immaterial" work that fuses his new life and environment. Perhaps he's been influenced in part by spending time in the country with his friend Marina Abramovic, who has a spread outside Hudson, where she of course is in the process of building her Institute with a similarly mystical artisitc focus.
Trading in his monkey fur coat for a pair of overalls could be a wise move for an artist whose light—and life–burned fast and bright. Just a bit over a decade ago, Koh was making zines under the moniker "asianpunkboy" when Peres offered him the debut show at his new Los Angeles gallery. Koh supplied just two albino parakeets and had Ryan McGinley DJ the opening. "Some artists don't even get looked at, but others have the problem of only being fascinating," the curator Beatrix Ruf told New York in 2007. It wasn't long before Lady Gaga was collaborating with him. His after parties at his studio were fun—maybe at times a bit too much fun.
Koh's ascetic turn may have actually begun back in 2011. For the performance "nothingtoodoo" at Mary Boone, the artist circled an 8-foot mountain of salt on his knees for eight hours a day, for nearly a month. "Maybe the work is an extended apology for past bad-boy behavior," wrote Roberta Smith in the Times. Now he has gone further: "i don't leave our mountain anymore," he says, referring to himself and his boyfriend. "I don't have much to say and more or less too doo [sic]," he added in a separate email, "Only that living up here I am finding out that my existence is a Mobius loop and I am at the point of reaching towards zero so that something [sic] comes out of nothing." Still, we doubt this is the last we will hear from him.


The following is a mutli-part series on the Cash Grant and the Road Ahead. It is part of Sol Systems' continuing efforts to provide the industry with the information and ideas (where we can) that we believe it needs to continue to succeed. For additional resources on project development, we recommend you join the SolMarket community, which provides a number of informational resources and the SolSmart suite of legal documents.
In February of 2009, the federal government passed ARRA, and the 1603 Investment Tax Credit (ITC) Cash Grant program with it. The Program effectively transformed what was traditionally an investment tax credit into a cash grant, awarded by the treasury, within 60 days of commercial operation. It was perhaps the single most important piece of legislation for solar in recent history, spurring huge growth in the sector, recently estimated to be 69% year over year. In January of 2012 the 1603 ITC Cash Grant will expire, and with it the ability for developers and investors to secure the cash grant in lieu of a tax credit.
So what's next? Well, let's take a look.
Under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, a 30% tax investment credit for qualifying renewable energy projects was extended through 2016, allowing owners of solar projects to offset 30% of a solar system's cost through tax credits. So long as a system owner had enough tax liability over the course of 5 years, he or she would be able to deduct 30% of the system's gross cost from their federal taxes.
Because most solar project companies or developers working on commercial and utility-size PV projects do not generate enough taxable profit on their balance sheets to utilize the 30% tax investment credit (ITC), they had to seek a financial intermediary with the necessary tax liability to buy a stake in the project company and monetize these tax credits, what is commonly referred to as "tax equity investors". Tax equity investors are effectively companies with large balance sheets, traditionally banks and more recently larger corporations, which purchase tax credits to shelter otherwise taxable income, while also providing an essential financing tool for large renewable projects.
In 2007, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) estimated there were up to 28 tax equity investors, primarily financial institutions led Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan and others. However, the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the financial crisis of 2008 effectively ended most of these companies participation in the tax equity market for renewables. Several companies, such as AIG and Prudential, departed the tax equity market entirely because of bankruptcy or uncertainty about whether they would have sufficient taxable income.
In response, President Obama approved the Section 1603 Cash Grant Program (as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009), to effectively stabilize renewable energy market by providing $1.9 billion of cash grants in lieu of tax credits. Under the 1603 Program, owners of a renewable energy system could simply apply for a cash grant to cover 30% of the system's cost, regardless of their tax liability.
The 1603 Program catalyzed the solar market, with approximately 80% of solar projects opting for the cash grant, driving growth of 104% between 2009 and 2010 in the United States. As of mid-August 2011, 87% (2,095) of the 2,410 cash grants awarded under the 1603 program were provided to solar energy projects (although only 27% of the nominal value if these grants). Since October of 2010, the federal government has invested over a billion dollars in solar projects through the 1603 Grant Program.
Unfortunately for the solar industry, the Section 1603 Program is set to expire at the end of this year, and it appears highly unlikely that it will be renewed again. With the expiration, interested parties without the necessary tax liability will again have to rely on tax equity investors to fully monetize the ITC. The problem is twofold: (i) the tax equity market has not yet fully recovered and there are only an estimated 10 to 15 investors looking for tax equity deals and (ii) integrating tax equity into deal structures will significantly increase transaction costs, raise the costs of development, and potentially limit smaller deal sizes.
The result will be a bottleneck in 2012-13, where a substantial number of solar developers and other interested parties look to construct or own commercial-sized solar system, but only a select few can secure the requisite tax equity financing. This will mean a number of projects will not be developed, and those projects that do secure tax equity will see increased yields. Some projects are likely to seek safe harbor under the 1603 Program by securing 5% of the total costs of the system, but this strategy brings with it its own challenges.
So now, as we look towards the horizon, what's next? What will happen to this 80% of the industry opting for the cash grant? Companies like Sungevity, Sanyo and Vivent are quickly lining up tax equity for the upcoming year, and some believe market growth will slow by up to 50% in the second half of 2012. Might these challenges be mitigated by solar modules priced below $1.10/watt? What creative solutions will our industry implement to meet these financing challenges?


Our business is to keep you and your clothing looking its best. For some fabrics special care is needed and stain removal can also be fairly tricky. We've provided some of the best practices and tips for you to use.
In an emergency, should I use club soda to treat the stain?
BLOT, DON'T RUB. Silk will chafe easily or develop light areas if rubbed while wet. Get the garment to us ASAP.
Apply perfume, cologne, deodorant, and hair spray before dressing to prevent color loss and staining.
Exercise great caution with household products. It's almost a sure-fire way to ruin a terrific garment if left untreated.
Never use chlorine bleach or products containing chlorine on silk. It will permanently change the color.
Store garments in a dark area. Long exposure to sunlight or even strong lights can cause streaks and fading.
Blot, don't rub silk when wet.
We have the experience and knowledge to carefully clean all of your silk garments.
Silk garments are no longer limited to high-end designer labels or neckties. Everyday silk casual wear for men and women is very popular. We know because we clean a lot of silk garments. It drapes, looks and feels great. But, like other fabrics, silk is susceptible to conditions of wear, stains, and color loss.
We know that silk responds well to dry cleaning. Washing silk at home may result in shrinkage, limpness, and considerable fading.
I did wash it at home and now look at it. Can you help me?
Regrettably, some 'washable' silk dyes do not react well to water. Oftentimes vibrant colors fade in washing, resulting in fading or multi-colored dyes will run into one another. We see it especially when light and darker dyed fabrics are combined. We routinely double check colorfastness before we begin any cleaning process. You should too when washing at home.
Can you get the underarm stains out?
Well, yes and no. We know how to address this problem and we do. But, sometimes perspiration and other conditions of wear result in a permanent color change.
Also, contact with chloride salts weaken silk. In addition to perspiration, chloride salts are present in many types of beverages, food, medicines, and yes, salt water. The most common type of chloride damage is the result from perspiration or contact with an antiperspirant.
If you perspire in it, clean the garment as soon as possible. This may help avoid permanent staining, irreversible fabric damage, color loss, or color changes. Use of underarm shields may minimize some of these conditions.
It looks like the color is gone in certain areas. What happened?
Not all colored fabrics are created equally. Although color performance has improved with modern technology, failures may still occur. Here are some things that we have to be aware of.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires manufacturers to attach a permanent care label to textile garments providing directions for their care. That care label is intended to provide both consumers and garment care specialists guidance on how to care for a garment. A garment labeled "Dryclean" should have dyes that can withstand dry cleaning, and "Washable" garments should have dyes that will perform well when washed.
The best way for manufacturers to determine care procedures is through testing. Unfortunately, this is not always done and sometimes can mean less than satisfactory cleaning results.
Always read and follow care instructions.
Protect white and colored garments from excessive exposure to light.
When in doubt, ask us before you do anything.
A dye that is soluble in dry cleaning may fade during care. If two or more dyes have been used and only one is soluble, there is a good possibility of a dramatic color change. For example, if a yellow dye component of a green garment were to break down, you could be left with a blue garment! There is no way of knowing this in advance. Another dramatic example of color failure could be a blue garment that retains its color, while its blue and white surface-print may fade so that the blues no longer match. Occurrences such as this example are rare, but they can happen in the first cleaning or progress with each subsequent cleaning.
Fading may occur in household items such as bedspreads and draperies. Often the fading may not be noticeable until the item is compared with a matching item. We recommend that all matching items be drycleaned or laundered at the same time to ensure color uniformity.
Most dyes eventually fade with exposure to sun or artificial light. Color failure may occur rapidly on exposed areas of garments such as shoulders, collars, and sleeves. Particularly sensitive are blue, green, and lavender dyes, especially those used on silk or wool fabrics.
Common household substances can also be culprits of color loss. Be careful not to expose fabrics to alkaline toiletries such as toothpaste or shampoo. Hairspray, perfume, and deodorant contain alcohol which may cause color loss on silk or rayon. Even the acidity of lemon juice affects some dyes. Color loss as a result of these situations might not be visible until after the garment is cleaned. Bleach, a component in many household cleaning products and skin or hair preparations, is one of the most common causes of color loss and fabric damage.
Whether it's a new or well-worn, treasured garment, everyone hates to stain their clothing. We understand, and will always use our best efforts to make stains go away.
"Miracle" stain removers – guaranteed to remove stains – are pretty much just that. It would be a miracle if they did the job.
Bring a stained garment to us as soon as possible to prevent the stain from setting. Show us the location of stains (see "invisible stains") and tell us any removal procedures you may have attempted before turning to us for help.
Don't iron stained or soiled clothes trying to get just one more wearing out of them. Ironing dirty clothes will set stains and drive soil deeper into the fabric. Not good.
Some stains caused by beverages, food, or oily substances may not be visible after they dry. But later, with exposure to heat or simply the passage of time, a yellow or brownish stain will appear. This is the end result of oxidation or caramelization of sugar or sweetening agents. It is the same process that makes a peeled apple turn brown after exposure to air. If we don't know about it we can't fix it, so let us know if you spilled something.
This problem arises when white and pastel fabrics begin to yellow. When this happens, a little investigative work typically reveals a manufacturer defect in the optical or fluorescent whitening agent applied to the fabric. When this agent begins to break down, as the result of exposure to light, atmospheric gases, dry cleaning or washing solutions, then yellowing results. The problem cannot be corrected and can only be prevented by the manufacturer using stable brighteners.
Perspiration – Body oils, antiperspirants, or perspiration left long enough on silk and wool garments will weaken the fabric. Frequently cleaning clothes heavily soiled with perspiration can lessen the likelihood of a problem.
Acids – Perspiration, deodorant, antiperspirant, even "all natural organic" products, fruit juice, or hair preparations can cause a change or loss of color along with weakening the fabric.
Alcohol – Perfume, cologne, skin freshener, aftershave, hair spray, medicine, and adult beverages can cause permanent stains or color loss.
Bleach – Home bleach, hair care products, disinfectant, skin lotion, acne preparations, whitening toothpaste, medicine, cleaning products, office supplies, and other such items can cause a change or loss of color or fabric weakening depending on the dye and fabric.
Alkaline Substances – Cleaning products, toothpaste, soap, detergents, shampoo, and skin preparations can also cause problems that may not appear until the stained area has aged or the item is exposed to heat during a cleaning process.
Salt – Perspiration, beverages and food, medicine, even wintry street gutter splash or snow removal slush can result in a change in color on wool fabrics.
Hair Preparations – Permanent wave solution or other hair care products can result in a change in color. This type of staining is easily recognized by the location in the neckline, shoulder, or back of a garment.

Yandy Diaz Expects To Return On Friday
Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz (rib) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros due to left side rib discomfort. He is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game and it sounds as if he'll be out on Thursday as well. However, Diaz told the media on Wednesday that he expects he'll be back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the New York Yankees. He added that the rib discomfort was just tightness and nothing more. Joey Wendle is starting at third base on Wednesday and there's a good chance he'll be there on Thursday as well.
Sep. 29th • 7:39 AM
Yandy Diaz Exits Tuesday's Game With Rib Discomfort
Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz (rib) was removed in the seventh inning of Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. After the game, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reported that his removal was due to left side rib discomfort. He will be reevaluated by the team on Wednesday, at which point we'll have a better idea of the severity of the injury. He should be considered day-to-day for now. Diaz cranked his 13th home run of the year in the first inning of Tuesday's game. If he were to miss time, Joey Wendle would likely serve as the team's primary third baseman, though Wander Franco could shift over and cover the hot corner as well.
Yandy Diaz Isn't In Friday's Lineup
Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz isn't in the lineup on Friday for a matchup with right-hander Edward Cabrera and the Miami Marlins. Diaz is batting .257 with a .356 on-base percentage and 12 home runs in 520 plate appearances this season. Ji-Man Choi is getting the start at first base and hitting third on Friday. Choi could be worth a look as a streaming option, especially in leagues where on-base percentage is part of the scoring. In 276 plate appearances this season, the 30-year-old is batting .237 with a .359 on-base percentage and 10 home runs.

About The Science of Leonardo
Leonardo da Vinci's scientific explorations were virtually unknown during his lifetime, despite their extraordinarily wide range. He studied the flight patterns of birds to create some of the first human flying machines; designed military weapons and defenses; studied optics, hydraulics, and the workings of the human circulatory system; and created designs for rebuilding Milan, employing principles still used by city planners today. Perhaps most importantly, Leonardo pioneered an empirical, systematic approach to the observation of nature-what is known today as the scientific method.Drawing on over 6,000 pages of Leonardo's surviving notebooks, acclaimed scientist and bestselling author Fritjof Capra reveals Leonardo's artistic approach to scientific knowledge and his organic and ecological worldview. In this fascinating portrait of a thinker centuries ahead of his time, Leonardo singularly emerges as the unacknowledged "father of modern science."

People Who Read The Science of Leonardo Also Read
"Minutely researched, vividly written, and endlessly fascinating, The Science of Leonardo opens up a realm which has never been adequately appreciated." —Dr. Oliver Sacks"Illuminating and impassioned . . . . A profound and clear exploration of Leonardo's scientific thought."—The San Francisco Chronicle"A delight . . . . Lucid and spirited, it sparks a whole series of ideas and questions for further investigation."—American Scientist"A fascinating glimpse of the road not taken by Western Science. Capra makes a compelling case that the science of the future may look a lot more like Leonardo's than Bacon's or Descartes — a science of systems, non-reductive and akin to an art." —Michael Pollan, author of Botany of Desire and Omnivore's Dilemma"Vivid and compelling. . . . Leonardo himself would have nodded in approval of this book, because for the first time it crystallizes the entire body of his work into a coherent, unified whole." —Michio Kaku, author of Physics of the Impossible

Google wants to change the way we shop online, beginning with beauty brands
YouTube influencers, sexier shopping searches and a ton of data are all part of Google's master plan.
We've never been harder to please.
Today's consumer is demanding yet curious, fussy but impatient. Like a toddler, basically.
Nowhere is the marketers' problem more real than in the beauty sector. Vague searches for products plague Google. In fact, 40 percent of all shopping-related queries are for broad terms like "makeup" or "face cream," according to a Pixability study. Yet interest in the industry continues to grow at a remarkable rate. On YouTube, for example, views for videos in the beauty and personal care categories are up 65 percent year-on-year—garnering a total of 222 billion views annually.
But Google thinks it has the answers. Alphabet's prized gem is poised for a huge overhaul of how consumers experience online shopping. It's doing this with a trifecta attack, roughly broken down into themes: shopping experience, data and messaging.
"We'll be evolving," said Brian McDevitt, Google's industry director for consumer packaged goods. "We're going to present more curated shopping results to provide a more natural and organic way of discovering various products. In the past, it's not been a very visual experience."
Enter its secret weapon: "Manufacturer Center." Think of this tool as the backbone for the digital shelf space that a beauty brand would want to have with Google. Brands that upload and share all product information, descriptions, pricing etc., will give Google a very clear sense of a particular product. This will ultimately unlock an array of different shopping experiences that can be teased across Google.com, YouTube, Google Express and its countless other platforms.
So offering brands the opportunity to share more details with Google is step one. Step two is finding a way to use this information to make the online shopping experience more visual, more all-encompassing. It's unclear how this would look. But envision a future search as an enhanced version of Showcase Shopping Ads (the string of pictures showing branded products that line the top of devices after a search for something vague like "makeup").
Then there's YouTube. "We know that there are all these moments where creators and influencers are talking about products," said McDevitt. "It seems like a very natural place to shorten the journey to retail by making product discovery much more intuitive in those moments."
Marrying retailers with consumers' individual brand needs and wants will, of course, require your personal information. Your online footprint will play its most vital role yet.
"If you think about Google in totality, we have seven different properties with over a billion users that allow us to generate a rich tapestry of signals about a particular user," McDevitt explained. "From Google Search I get a very good sense of what this user is searching for, from Google Maps I have a really rich understanding of location. From YouTube I understand what they're watching. So all of those signals across all these different properties give me a great understanding of what this consumer is interested in."
On the brand side, Google has also stepped up its data game. It continues to provide insights so that brands better understand their consumers. MAKE UP FOR EVER, for example, based a campaign to launch its Ultra HD Foundation on surprising data it unearthed.
They discovered two very different Google searches linked to foundations. Around 70 percent of general complexion queries, like "best concealer," were related to a specific brand, such as "best concealer Estee Lauder." Meanwhile, only 33 percent of really specific complexion searches were related to a brand, such as "best concealer for dark skin." So they built a campaign around this insight to reach a much more diverse audience.
In doing so, they unlocked an entire palette of new opportunities. MAKE UP FOR EVER was able to build messaging that drove awareness of how they were differentiated in addressing the needs of a more multicultural consumer. The result? A 44 percent lift in brand recall, an 18 percent rise in product searches and its YouTube channel subscriber account went up by 11 percent in just one month, according to Google.
The last spear in Google's three-pronged assault on internet shopping is messaging. There's less attention being devoted to traditional advertising in this sector, said McDevitt. No one has nailed attention better than YouTube influencers (a few of whom spoke about how they engage their audiences at Google's second annual Beauty Redefined event today).
Johnson and Johnson's Neutrogena recently capitalized on the use of influencers for the launch of its acne-fighting Light Therapy Mask. The product demands a huge shift in how consumers physically treat their skin for spots—from applying cream to actually wearing a mask that resembles something from Star Wars. Who better to push such a radical product but the influencers consumers know and trust, like Nash Grier. Google says Neutrogena directly attributed a growth in awareness and a sales lift for the mask to its YouTube campaign.
Any changes to the online shopping experience will be gradual and perhaps not immediately noticeable (it's unlikely you'll punch in a Google shopping search and be faced with an aggressive new module). But that's because the real future is happening behind closed doors where one word reigns supreme: Data, data, data.
"We know that the consumer is much more demanding, they're much more curious and they're much more impatient," added McDevitt. "So we think it's going to be important that a marketer is going to have to be much more data-driven in their approach with connecting with the consumer because that unlocks the ability to have a more personalized experience with a brand."

On a mild summer evening, a close-knit group of friends on the verge of graduating wonder about what the future holds. The one thing they do know is that they'll always be friends, and before life takes them in different directions, they make a pact to reunite in five years.
But along the way fate intervenes and as the reunion date looms, it's clear that life has not gone according to plan.
Laura has talent to burn, a brand-new jewellery design company and a wedding to plan. Nicola Peters has independence, a job she loves and her own home.
But all is not as it seems. Laura's struggling to live up to her parents' impossible expectations, Nicola is coping with a life-changing event, and trying to do it all alone is driving the friends apart just when they need each other most.
Then into the mix comes Chloe. She's marrying gorgeous Dan and planning the wedding of the year.
Tara's life seems perfect - a successful career as a life coach, the flashy sports car to match, and a happy home with Glenn.
Glamorous London PR girl Natalie has everything she ever wanted - except a husband.
And when Tara agrees to coach her in landing the latest 'man of her dreams', the two women soon find they have more in common than either had imagined.
Jenny is happily planning her wedding to the lovely Mike when out of the blue comes news she never wanted to hear: a major blast from the past is back.
Years earlier, while her closest friends were falling in love and heading for happy ever after, love rat Roan broke her heart and completely shattered her life.
Harbouring a terrible secret, Jenny managed to pick up the pieces and move on, but now - just as everything is falling into place, the truth will surely out.
Louise wishes she could be slim, pretty, and popular. So she can't believe it when it seems her wish is coming true. If only it didn't all cost so much . . .
Dara wishes she could go back in time, and change everything. But she's married now, and nothing can change that. Can it?
Rosie wishes she knew how to make her children happy. Even though they're both grown up with their own lives, they seem to need her more than ever. Three very different women, about to make a journey that will change their lives forever. You should be careful what you wish for . . .
Eve knows exactly what she wants. After nine years and two lovely kids together, it's about time Liam made an honest woman of her.
Eve's older sister Sam knows more than she should. She's always thought Eve was way too good for Liam. And she doesn't like the way his work takes him to Australia and away from his adoring family all too often.

The tantra yoga practices include asanas and breathing exercises. The Nyingma tradition practices Yantra yoga (Tib. "Trul khor"), a discipline that includes breath work (or pranayama), meditative contemplation and other exercises.[190] In the Nyingma tradition, the path of meditation practice is divided into further stages,[191] such as Kriya yoga, Upa yoga, Yoga yana, Mahā yoga, Anu yoga and Ati yoga.[192] The Sarma traditions also include Kriya, Upa (called "Charya"), and Yoga, with the Anuttara yoga class substituting for Mahayoga and Atiyoga.[193]
Description of an early form of yoga called nirodhayoga (yoga of cessation) is contained in the Mokshadharma section of the 12th chapter (Shanti Parva) of the Mahabharata (third century BCE).[109] Nirodhayoga emphasizes progressive withdrawal from the contents of empirical consciousness such as thoughts, sensations etc. until purusha (Self) is realized. Terms like vichara (subtle reflection), viveka (discrimination) and others which are similar to Patanjali's terminology are mentioned, but not described.[110] There is no uniform goal of yoga mentioned in the Mahabharata. Separation of self from matter, perceiving Brahman everywhere, entering into Brahman etc. are all described as goals of yoga. Samkhya and yoga are conflated together and some verses describe them as being identical.[111] Mokshadharma also describes an early practice of elemental meditation.[112] Mahabharata defines the purpose of yoga as the experience of uniting the individual ātman with the universal Brahman that pervades all things.[111] https://www.facebook.com/Buzzing-Offer-Digital-Marketing-1107247206148320/
^ "Sidang Media – Fatwa Yoga". Islam.gov.my. Archived from the original on 6 January 2009. Retrieved 5 September 2010. Quote: The Fatwas of Religious Council in Islamic affairs on Yoga. After carefully studied various reports and factual data, the Council unanimously agreed that this ancient India religious teachings, which involves physical and mental exercises, are Hinduism in nature known as wahdat al-wujud philosophy (oneness of existence; the realization of identity between the Self in man, Atman; and the Divine, BRAHMAN: 'Brahman is all, and Atman is Brahman'). It is prohibited (haram) for Muslims to practice it.
During the period between the Mauryan and the Gupta eras (c. 200 BCE–500 CE) the Indic traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism were taking form and coherent systems of yoga began to emerge.[50] This period witnessed many new texts from these traditions discussing and systematically compiling yoga methods and practices. Some key works of this era include the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, the Yoga-Yājñavalkya, the Yogācārabhūmi-Śāstra and the Visuddhimagga.
In addition to improving your health, maintaining a weight loss is likely to improve your life in other ways. For example, a study of participants in the National Weight Control RegistryExternal* found that those who had maintained a significant weight loss reported improvements in not only their physical health, but also their energy levels, physical mobility, general mood, and self-confidence.
The number of asanas used in modern yoga has increased rapidly from a nominal 84 in 1830, as illustrated in Joga Pradipika, to some 200 in Light on Yoga and over 900 performed by Dharma Mittra by 1984. At the same time, the goals of Haṭha yoga, namely spiritual liberation (moksha) through the raising of kundalini energy, were largely replaced by the goals of fitness and relaxation, while many of Haṭha yoga's components like the shatkarmas (purifications), mudras (seals or gestures including the bandhas, locks to restrain the prana or vital principle), and pranayama were much reduced or removed entirely.[225] The term "hatha yoga" is also in use with a different meaning, a gentle unbranded yoga practice, independent of the major schools, sometimes mainly for women.[226]
In the first decade of the 21st century, the conceptualization of health as an ability opened the door for self-assessments to become the main indicators to judge the performance of efforts aimed at improving human health.[16] It also created the opportunity for every person to feel healthy, even in the presence of multiple chronic diseases, or a terminal condition, and for the re-examination of determinants of health, away from the traditional approach that focuses on the reduction of the prevalence of diseases.[17]
Organized interventions to improve health based on the principles and procedures developed through the health sciences are provided by practitioners trained in medicine, nursing, nutrition, pharmacy, social work, psychology, occupational therapy, physical therapy and other health care professions. Clinical practitioners focus mainly on the health of individuals, while public health practitioners consider the overall health of communities and populations. Workplace wellness programs are increasingly adopted by companies for their value in improving the health and well-being of their employees, as are school health services in order to improve the health and well-being of children.
The earliest references to hatha yoga are in Buddhist works dating from the eighth century.[197] The earliest definition of hatha yoga is found in the 11th century Buddhist text Vimalaprabha, which defines it in relation to the center channel, bindu etc.[198] Hatha yoga synthesizes elements of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras with posture and breathing exercises.[199] It marks the development of asanas (plural) into the full body 'postures' now in popular usage[15] and, along with its many modern variations, is the style that many people associate with the word yoga today.[200]

ISBN 978-0-231-14987-7., Quote: "From a historical perspective, the Brahmasutras are best understood as a group of sutras composed by multiple authors over the course of hundreds of years, most likely composed in its current form between 400 and 450 BCE."

supercollider on linux
The SuperCollider synthesis server (scsynth) runs in a separate process or even on a separate machine so it is ideal for realtime networked music. As usual, I chose to use a base Debian "Wheezy" with all updates applied. Listing 1 has exactly the same effect as the one-line instruction, but it is much easier to read. The most interesting two are scide and sclang, but just for the record, sclangpipe_app is used by scvim, which in turn is a Vim-like front end for sclang, and scsynth is the server proper, which I'll address shortly. In Debian, for example, you would do # apt-get install jackd1. In the second example, you just have to press Ctrl+Enter once while your cursor is on any of the lines to get both words of output. There seems to be a problem with JACK. If you look at the top left-hand corner of Figure 2 again, you'll see that the wave starts at 0. If this is the case, you can download the contents of the following SuperCollider script: foxdot.scd. Figure 1: The SuperCollider IDE on startup. SuperCollider has been up and running on Linux since shortly after it was released as open source software. Most Linux distros contain precompiled packages of Jack in their repos, so you can usually just install it using your software manager. SuperCollider language environments (see below) are typically used, but other OSC-aware systems can be used such as Pure Data. Nearly all SuperCollider "commands" are really functions with a return value, and in this case, the only value the interpreter can find is the content of a. Once downloaded, open the file in SuperCollider and press Ctrl+Return to run it. To get a list of Quarks, type Quarks.gui in the SC IDE, press Ctrl+Enter, and click the Update Quarks Listing button in the window. The default multiplier of the sine oscillator is 1, so in the second argument of Pan2 (SinOsc.kr(0.5)), you only have to specify the frequency. Before you can begin, you have to run the SuperCollider server by entering. Extra care has to be put in working on this platform, especially with headphones, because programs can produce unexpectedly loud sounds regardless of system volume settings, potentially causing ear damage. To create a scope so you can use ab, you have to group the commands between brackets: Now when you place your cursor anywhere within the brackets and hit Ctrl+Enter, the value is assigned to ab correctly. This will make SuperCollider start listening for messages from FoxDot. Chromium-based MS Edge browser will soon be available for testing on Linux. Go to the folder with source, create a build folder, and cd to it: In the past two years, it has become really easy to install on Linux, and is packaged in distributions such as PlanetCCRMA and Pure:Dyne. I could go on, but writing about SuperCollider's programming language deserves a book in itself, and there a plenty of good ones online for free. If nothing happens in a reasonable stretch of time, check the SC IDE Post window for errors. The higher the number, the higher the pitch (261.26, by the way, is middle C). This program recycles the sinewave SynthDef seen earlier and, from lines 9 to 31, creates a simple window with three elements – a slider, a knob, and a button – to control the wave. In the first example, you have to press Ctrl+Enter on each line for each word to output. Figure 3: The scope method shows the wave as it plays. It features 400+ unit generators ("UGens") for analysis, synthesis, and processing. Figure 2: Different types of sound waves. Building/compiling. As for the executables, SuperCollider installs scide, sclang, sclangpipe_app, scsynth, scvim, and supernova. By default, SuperCollider on Linux uses JACK, and the audio device selection is managed by the JACK server. instead of shutting them all down with the Ctrl+. The simplest sound you can generate with SuperCollider is an unfiltered and unmodulated wave, and the shortest way to do that is with an unnamed function (curly brackets enclose functions in SuperCollider): The SinOsc object calls a sine wave oscillator, similar to the image in the top left corner of Figure 2. It is now maintained and developed by an active and enthusiastic community. ServerOptions cannot override JACK's selection of audio hardware. Check for any errors in the Post window and make sure the volume of your headphones is up, but not too high: Mistakes in SC code tend to make SuperCollider's output very noisy, indeed, and you don't want to damage your headphones, speakers, or, worse, your eardrums. Now call the SynthDef (line 1) and pass it some parameters (line 2), or change the tone and volume as it plays: Although the SynthDef structures are very useful, they have certain limitations compared with functions. Emperor-OS is a new Linux distribution focused on programming, developing, and data science. In the past two years, it has become really easy to install on Linux, and is packaged in distributions such as PlanetCCRMA and Pure:Dyne. The first value, 261.26, is the frequency or pitch, measured in hertz (i.e., phases per second). The Easy Way: SuperCollider for Ubuntu can be installed from the SuperCollider PPA at Launchpad. You can use it for algorithmic composition and sequencing, finding new sound synthesis methods, connecting your app to external hardware including MIDI controllers, network music, writing GUIs and visual displays, or for your daily programming experiments. You can declare a single-character variable (which are all objects) just by setting it to a value: Note the semicolon that ends a command. Parameters appear within brackets. for example, you'll see a whole second of the wave instead of the default 100th of a second. 76% Upvoted. The community is very active and helpful, the center of activity. In Debian, for example, you would do. Interestingly, SuperCollider installs just fine without the package that contains the Jack daemon (jackd) proper; it's only when you try to run the SuperCollider server (more about this below) that it will bomb and inform you that Jack is missing. Your SynthDef will then be loaded into the server every time it boots. To run SuperCollider commands, type them into the workspace and press Ctrl+Enter while the cursor is on the same line. Several workspaces can be accessed via tabs across the top of the window. SuperCollider is tested with: Windows 10 (32- and 64-bit) and MSVC 2017; macOS 10.13 with Xcode 9.4 and Xcode 10.1; Ubuntu 14.04 and … An intensive but gentle introduction to SuperCollider This five-day workshop welcomes participants of any discipline with or without prior programming or musical experience. Although described as "… an environment and programming language for real time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition," it is much more than that, as you will see. It may instruct you to erase a directory, such as /home/[user]/.local/share/SuperCollider/quarks and run Quarks.gui again. It is free and open source software available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. After installing or deleting Quarks, you might have to update the libraries and help systems by clicking Language | Recompile Class Library. You can run it by entering sclang in a terminal window. The solution is quite easy: cd up out of the build directory and run. SuperCollider has been up and running on Linux since shortly after it was released as open source software. Installing on Linux If you are familiar with midi notation, you can give the value using the .midicps attribute: The second value in SinOsc is the phase offset in radians, which is the position from which the wave starts. It features 400+ unit generators ("UGens") for analysis, synthesis, and processing. For starters, a SynthDef is compiled, then the server runs the compiled, static version every time it is called. To do so, use the var keyword. As with particle physics, sound creation and manipulation is difficult. The beta version for Ubuntu's latest release is now available for testing. Submitting a new RFC or discussing an existing one is a great way to get involved, especially if you are looking for a way to contribute that doesn't involve writing code or using a terminal. Please do drop by. The Button widget in line 16 creates a multistate button (with the values "Off" and "On") and starts and stops the sound depending on whether it transitions from one state to the other or vice versa. modifies the multiplier (volume) parameter of the sawtooth wave (Figure 2, middle row, far left; a twangy, guitar-like sound), with the sine oscillator. The scope at the end lets you see what's happening. If your SynthDef is really useful, you can save it for future sessions by changing add to writeDefFile and executing the block. The following, for example, pans the sound from one speaker to the other: The Pan2 function is used to pan between two channels – the Pan4 function handles four-channel output – and takes as arguments the audio signal and a number between -1 (left) and +1 (right).

The much-touted EIFD (Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District) is here in California, but what is it really? It is not the same IFD that was enacted a few years ago, but rather SB 628 called for the creation of essentially a new governmental entity which can finance a wide range of improvements, locally and regionally. This includes roads, water/sewer treatment, flood control, transit facilities, libraries and parks. Unlike the old Redevelopment Agencies (RDA), there are no Housing Set–Aside or affordable housing obligations but the option to fund low and moderate income housing remains. An EIFD may not use eminent domain to acquire property, nor may it buy and sell property.
A number of general fees can be enacted in the same manner as currently provided by any local agency, under guidelines from Proposition 218 and 26. This would presumably now include a Groundwater Recharge Fee, given recent court cases.
An EIFD can be formed by a city or county, and other special districts may voluntarily join the EIFD, with the notable exception of school districts who may never participate in an EIFD. No vote is required to initially form the EIFD, but as mentioned above, a 55% vote is required for bond issuance.
In summary, EIFDs may not divert revenue from any nonconsenting municipality or special district. Instead, they provide a specialized tool for local government(s) to install, replace or enhance desired infrastructure, via certain existing and anticipated new revenues.
Also available is the recently released "Rates, Fees and Charges" Compendium on water, wastewater, recycled water and stormwater rates, as well as user, regulatory and development impact fees.

The Rise of Podcasts
Audio is vital part of youth media consumption
Music plays a big role in the media lives of young people, with 81% of Tribes claiming to listen to music everyday. This supports YouthSight's findings that between August 2017 and August 2018, use of Spotify amongst young people increased by 8% from 68% to 74%. Visual media, such as watching TV, is also very popular amongst young people with over two-thirds of Tribes claiming to watch TV everyday.
Other audible formats such as listening to the radio or podcasts are not as frequently used but are still opted for. However, research suggests that podcasts are becoming increasingly popular amongst young people – between April 2017 and February 2019 podcast listening for the purpose of entertainment rose by 53%, and podcast listening for the purpose of learning about a specific subject rose by 125% amongst 16-24s (YouthSight 2019). It is clear that audio is an increasingly powerful medium for reaching young people, both when they're relaxing and when they're engaged.
According to Nielsen, 6 million UK adults listen to podcasts on a weekly basis, showing that this once niche medium is entering the mainstream.
Over a third of tribes listen to podcasts at least once a week
Although they still aren't the top daily media choice for young people, podcasts are definitely on the rise. As found by RAJAR, from 2013-2018 there has been significant growth in weekly podcast listeners.
In 2018, Ofcom found that half of podcast listeners in the UK are under 35 and that 36% of podcast listeners use the BBC website, YouTube (26%) and iTunes (25%).
MindShare (2019) found 37% of British people now listen to podcasts, with a skew towards the younger demographic – especially male 18-34s, where numbers rise to 61%.
For young people, podcasts fill three main need states
To brighten up their commute
Of the two thirds of Tribes that do listen to podcasts, the majority tend to brighten up their boring commute by listening to a podcast. Tribes like listening to podcasts during their commute (to either work, school or uni) as it helps to wake them up. They also consider podcasts as a great alternative to watching TV which requires more of a conscious effort, and music which can become too repetitive.
Some Tribes like to wake up in the morning by listening to a podcast as it helps to get them ready for the day ahead. Some Tribes find it soothing and calming to listen to a podcast first thing in the morning.
Fill the silence and pass the time
Tribes like to listen to podcasts when they are doing mundane or repetitive tasks, whether its cleaning or food shopping, as it helps curb boredom. They also enjoy listening to them when they're winding down or just before going to bed, as they find it to be a nice distraction from their day to day lives.
I normally listen to podcasts on my journey to and from work, i.e. in the morning and late evening. If I have free time or am cleaning, I like to listen to the podcast's episode on the day of its release, since I cannot wait to hear it! I would rather listen to the podcasts inside my house, otherwise I embarrass myself when I suddenly laugh out-loud or join in with the conversation." – Female, 18, Alternative , Pop: Socials
Engaging the mind but not the eyes
Some Tribes prefer listening to a podcast over music or watching telly because they find it engaging. Some responded that music becomes too repetitive after a while and that a TV show requires more attention. However, with a podcast they feel like they are part of a conversation whilst also being entertained at the same time.
Sometimes I get tired of using all my senses and I love the conversation in podcasts as they are more authentic then watching something from the outside." – Female, 23, Mainstream, VOD: Socials
"I can't watch TB in the car obviously and the drive was an hour so I thought I should make better use of the time and educate myself with podcasts rather than just enjoying music" – Female, 20, Aspirant, VOD: Bingers
64% of Tribes listen to society & culture podcasts
Although society & culture is our Tribes favourite podcast genre, they mention 3 main features that they look for in podcasts…
Educational purposes
Tribes enjoy taking some educational value from the podcast they're listening to. It could be learning from a historical podcast or simply life & relationships advice. For some young people, podcasts are considered to be new learning platform.
Entertaining & Alternative
Some Tribes expressed entertainment as being a key reason for enjoying podcasts, specifically on topics that are unique and niche to mainstream audiences.
If they're choosing to listen to a podcast its unlikely it will be on a sad topic; Tribes expressed a particular emphasis on podcasts being positive and encouraging.
Nearly two thirds of tribes learn about new podcasts from social media
A number of drivers emerge when considering the reasons why Tribes decide to listen to certain podcasts.
The majority of Tribes were more inclined to watch podcasts from talent they already follow. For example, The Mile Higher podcast is presented by Kendall Rae. Kendall has a true crime YouTube channel with 1.4 million subscribers, and she often promotes her podcasts on her channel. A few Tribes made this connection when explaining how they initially found the podcast.
"Mainly recommendations or from watching YouTubers and then them starting a podcast."//" The people that pushed me to want to do it was two youtubers who I already loved their content and felt I needed more of it. So I gave their podcast a try and completely fell in love with the podcast community and quickly realised all the different kind of podcast and people you can listen to."
A few mentioned that they also were exposed to different podcasts (and therefore hooked) on social media i.e. Twitter and Instagram.
I was watching an Instagram story and someone mentioned them."
"Hannah was tweeting about her new Podcast as well as advertising it so I decided to check it out."

Aggregate Datasets are aggregates of samples of a particular data type. Some examples:

* Plant macrofossil samples from a group of packrat middens collected from a particular valley, mountain range, or other similarly defined geographic area. Each midden is from a different Site or Collection Unit, but they are grouped into time series for that area and are published as a single dataset.

* Samples collected from 32 cutbanks along several km of Roberts Creek, northeast Iowa. Each sample is from a different site, but they form a time series from 0-12,510 14C yr BP, and pollen, plant macrofossils, and beetles were published and graphed as if from a single site.

* A set of pollen surface samples from a particular region or study that were published and analyzed as a single dataset and submitted to the database as a single dataset.

The examples above are datasets predefined in the database. New aggregate datasets could be assembled for particular studies, for example all the pollen samples for a given time slice for a given geographic region.

Reign Free Opening New Bear's Lair in Berkeley.
Reign Free, owner of Good Jobs Accelerator company The Red Door Catering, is opening a new restaurant on the University of California campus in Berkeley. The concept, a modern bar and grill, will be the new incarnation of the Bear's Lair, which had previously closed in 2012, and will be run by Reign along with renowned San Francisco chef David Lawrence.
Reign and Chef Lawrence are featured in a great write-up in the San Francisco Chronicle. In it Reign talks about the menu (still to be decided but likely to feature, the Impossible Burger, dozens of beers on tap, and fried chicken), the growth of her brand, and future plans.
Stay tuned for the grand opening of the new Bear's Lair sometime in September, and check out the full Chronicle piece here.

About the ARTF
The Services Trust Fund Act

Disclosure Scheme
Immediate assistance for essential financial relief
The ARTF Trustees reconsidered the parameters of Hardship Grants in February 2015 and reviewed in March 2018.
The ARTF Trustees will, on occasion, approve a Hardship Grant to individuals assessed as being in financial hardship. As a general rule, the grants are not for serving members (see below).
Applications for Hardship Grants will normally be to those who have separated from Army within 18 months of the application date. Any request out of scope must be for extreme or dire circumstances and would be reviewed by the Secretary and Trustees.
Trustees consider financial hardship to be a situation where an applicant does not have enough money for basic living requirements (such as utilities, food, car registration but generally not credit card debt, rent or car maintenance) for themselves or their family.
Each case is determined on its merits, but will only be considered after other avenues of assistance have been exhausted. Grants are usually limited to $2,500, unless there are exceptional circumstances. Grants may be available to:
Ex-members of the Australian Army and their dependants.
Ex-members of the Army Reserve, who have completed a minimum of 12 months continuous full-time service and their dependants.
The dependants of current serving Army members.
Army members in exceptional circumstances may be considered.
Widows, deserted spouses and dependants experiencing hardship, to provide money for the period between which income has ceased and a satisfactory financial situation has been resolved.
Typically, Trustees provide Hardship Grants to:
Dependants of currently serving members experiencing financial hardship to provide immediate, essential financial relief.
Ex-members and dependants who, through accident, illness or other circumstances, are suffering serious financial hardship and require urgent help.
Support will be provided in the form of direct payment form the Trust to a supplier or service and not in the form of a 'cash' grant to an applicant.
To enquire about a Hardship Grant contact the ARTF Secretary.
An application for a Hardship Grant must include:
A detailed summation of the circumstances leading to the application.
A detailed financial statement that can be completed by an application (income/expenditure and assets/liabilities).
If applicable, a letter of support from an Agency supporting the applicant.
If a circumstance involving a serving member, details of Unit support and endorsement of the application by the Chain of Command.
Details of where any payment can be directed, if endorsed by Trustees

Beyonce signs $100M deal with Disney to appear in three movies
This is massive
Deirdre Molumby
Superstar Beyonce Knowles continues to prove she really is the Queen B.
Having appeared in the 2019 blockbuster remake of 'The Lion King' - the highest grossing animated movie ever - Beyonce is reportedly strengthening her relationship with Disney.
The singer will appear on the soundtrack for the upcoming Marvel sequel 'Black Panther 2'.
She is also attached to two other major undisclosed features at the House of Mouse.
A source told The Sun: "Beyoncé has become a major player for Disney and is the perfect fit for their brand.
"She's worked on a number of projects for them, including voicing Nala in the reboot of 'The Lion King', and now they're keen to secure her for more projects.
"Disney have put forward a deal worth around £80million, which will secure Beyoncé for three major projects, including the 'Black Panther' sequel."
It looks like she'll be involved with the studio's streaming service Disney+ as well.
The source continues: "As part of the deal they are also trying to get her team to agree to have Beyoncé voicing some of the new documentaries coming to Disney Plus.
"After the success of having Meghan Markle voicing the film 'Elephant' on the platform, they have projects coming up which align perfectly with Beyoncé's brand."
The negotiations are still ongoing. But it's only the final details that need ironing out.
Beyonce previously contributed to the first 'Black Panther' soundtrack. She also participated in the recent fundraiser 'Disney Family Singalong'.
She most recently appeared in YouTube Originals' Dear Class of 2020 special.

General Jonathan Moulton was a veteran of various colonial wars, including the Revolutionary War, and a very wealthy man in the seacoast town of Hampton. He's also considered New Hampshire' Faust as apparently, according to local legend, he sold his soul to the devil. The price? The devil would be required to fill up his boots with gold once a month.

Then Moulton started to get greedier. To trick the prince of darkness, he cut out the bottoms of his boots and fixed them to a hole in the floor of his house. In order for the devil to fulfill the terms of the bargain, he had to fill up the entire cellar with gold in order to fill up the boots. As we all know, Satan really gets in a twist after being tricked, so he burned down Moulton's house.
All silly stories aside, General Moulton was a historical figure, and he was rich and influential (the nearby town of Moultonborough was named for him). In addition, his house actually did burn down in the mid-1770s. Moulton rebuilt his house, and it still stands to this day as a private residence.
Moulton died in 1787, but his burial location is unknown. However, locals have placed a cenotaph to him in Pine Grove Cemetery on Winnacunnet Road, near his house. The cenotaph is easy to find, as Pine Grove is small. It's located to the far left of the entrance and is often decorated with an American Flag to honor Moulton's service in the colonial army.
