Q: How to assign a reserved IP address to a cloud service on Azure using Powershell 7? I have been using the New-AzureReservedIP cmdlet to create a new reserved IP address in Azure and associate it with an Azure cloud service staging slot. Basically what is described in this question. This cmdlet was part of the Azure module. However, as we know the Azure and AzureRM modules are not available in PS7 anymore. And this workstep is not even available in the Azure GUI.
As Microsoft recommends switching to PS7 and the Az module I assume that there is another way there to achieve the same thing. However, so far I was unable to find a solution.
The problem is that the staging slot requires a reserved IP if the production slot has one. To limit expenses we delete our staging slots after deployment. If we'd just keep and update it, that would not be a problem. Also, I was unable to find a way to re-use an existing reserved IP (that was created with New-AzureReservedIPpreviously) for the next staging deployment, so far I always needed to create a new one using New-AzureReservedIP. I ended up having quite a few reserved IP addresses which I don't use anymore so I wonder if they can be recycled somehow?
What would be best practice to solve this in PS7?

A: Reserved IP belongs to ASM API (Classic) and will be deprecated by 2023. Hence it doesn't exist in ARM. The new ARM API doesn't support this functionality. In ARM you have the option to use static Public IP (IP owned by Microsoft) or Public IP Prefix which is when you buy the IP address/IP range.
New-AzPublicIpAddress
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.network/new-azpublicipprefix?view=azps-4.5.0
New-AzPublicIpPrefix
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.network/new-azpublicipaddress?view=azps-4.5.0
But one thing to note is that if you are using App Service you actually get a Static Public IP for your App Service but that one is shared with many other customers hence you need to use your App Service URL eg. https://[AppServiceName].azurewebsites.net or add a Custom Domain to your App Service.
So if you really need a Public IP that is not shared you have to move over to IaaS eg. Virtual Machines

Ivanka Trump Shutters Fashion Company to Focus on Political Work: 'I Do Not Know When or If I Will Ever Return'
Fashion By TooFab Staff | 7/24/2018 12:46 PM PT
19 of Ivanka Trump's Most Fashionable Moments View Photos
Ivanka Trump has decided to shut down her fashion company after four years to focus on the work she's doing in the White House.
"When we first started this brand, no one could have predicted the success that we would achieve," Trump said in a statement received by The New York Post. "After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington, so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners."

She went on to say, "I am beyond grateful for the work of our incredible team who has inspired so many women; each other and myself included. While we will not continue our mission together, I know that each of them will thrive in their next chapter."
Shortly after accepting a senior advisor position in her father's administration, Trump stepped down from her active leadership position in the company. Since then, the company which bears her name has had to tread carefully to avoid violating ethics laws and creating the perception that Trump is benefiting financially from her political career.
Controversy over the potential conflict of interest began to emerge when Trump first joined her father on the campaign trail wearing clothing from her own branded line. It only got worse when she didn't immediately resign her position with the company after accepting a position in the White House.
The situation grew more tenuous after Nordstrom's dropped her line and Trump took to Twitter to defend his daughter from being "treated so unfairly." Then, White House spokesperson Kellyanne Conway said on "Fox & Friends" that people should "go buy Ivanka's stuff." That comment sparked pushback from both sides of the political spectrum.

Since then, Trump and the White House have been quiet about the clothing line, which has been subsequently dropped by other major retailers including Neiman Marcus and DSW. An insider told the NY Post the line has struggled since Trump stepped down.
"I know that this was a very difficult decision for Ivanka and I am very grateful for the opportunity to have led such a talented and committed team," said the company's president Abigail Klem. "When faced with the most unique circumstances, the team displayed strength and optimism."

Q: JavaScript: "Uncaught SecurityError" when running JS-XSL demo locally (This question pertains to the JS-XSL demo found here)
To briefly tell you what this demo is for; it takes a MS Excel file as input, parses the data, and outputs the data in text-only format. I downloaded the package (zip) and ran it locally, simply by opening the html file with Chrome.
The problem is, I just cannot seem to get over the following error:
Uncaught SecurityError: Failed to construct 'Worker': Script at 'file:///C:/Users/David/Desktop/Xlsx%20Demo/xlsworker.js' cannot be accessed from origin 'null'.

And above error points to line 34 of the html file, which has the following code:
/* I changed the file path from './xlsworker.js' to 'xlsworker.js' */
var worker = new Worker('xlsworker.js');

There are only three files for this demo: the html file itself, and two javascript files, one is named xls.js and the other xlsworker.js. All three files are in the same directory and at the same level.
What's rather baffling to me is, I successfully ran this same demo about a couple months ago! I cannot imagine if I am doing anything differently now. Any insight?

A: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=278883#c9

You are basically prevented by Chromium to use workers on the file:// protocol, you have to host your files and access them through the http:// protocol.

You need a server (even something simple like http://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html)

A: IMO, the below is a superior answer, because it does not require running a web-server. It's extremely quick and simple.
(the downvote is explained in my Note 5, below)
I have tested and verified that this solution works with the demo linked by the asker, when run locally as described by the asker. Tested on Windows 10, Chrome Stable x64 48.0.2564.103 m.
A script is not allowed to access to your local file system in Chrome. If you'd like to test web workers locally, you have to open Chrome with a special flag.
On Windows, launch chrome with the flag:
chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files

After that Chrome will be launched and you can test workers during this session.
Note1: if Chrome is already running when you run this command, the new instance of Chrome will not allow Workers to run-- you must first exit from Chrome (if necessary, use Windows Task Manager to ensure Chrome is not running).
Note 2: the source for this answer (link below) includes the --args flag on Windows, but i have not found the "args" to be necessary on Windows. In fact, i cannot find any documentation of the "args" flag anywhere-- not sure what it does. So i don't include it in the Windows command, above.*
Note 3: For those trying to do something similar on Chrome-Mac, or Windows-Firefox, the link below includes both, along with the Windows-Chrome solution above. But my solution described above is only the Windows-Chrome method.
http://js-workout.tompascall.com/web-workers-and-responsiveness/
Note 4: Be aware that this solution is not the same as running a web-server, but for your purpose it should be a completely adequate solution. Also, be aware that to browse the web with this chrome startup-switch enabled may compromise your local file-security, so it's advised to only use this method for your local file purpose, and disable it for web-browsing.*
Note 5: Google states that using startup flags "should only be used for temporary cases and may break in the future." Web search for chrome startup switches returns about 2,000 hits, so lots of people use them and blog about them. If your need is temporary, then this currently works great.*

ChatBots are sophisticated computer programs used to communicate either via text or audio. A ChatBot is designed to mimic the way a human would communicate with another person while having a conversation. These Bots are being used in several industries to help facilitate communication with customers. As the demands of customers increases, the ability for a company to meet these demands is often not possible. However, many companies have found the use of Bots to provide basic customer service needs, to be a cost effective way to meet their customer's demands. In the business of accounting, there have been many recent developments of ways to use this technology to perform a number of tasks.
One of the ways ChatBots have been used in the accounting industry is by answering customer's inquiries. Many companies have found that customers often ask the same types of questions. As a result, a ChatBot program is able to communicate with a customer over text to answer a number of questions they may have. One example of this is in the tax accounting arena. Many people dread doing their own taxes, mainly because they do not understand all of the rules and regulations surrounding personal taxes. However, services like AskMyUncleSam provide an opportunity for customers to ask their personal tax questions through chat. After their question is asked, the computer program is able to search for keywords in a database and provide answers to the customer.
Many companies have a payroll department to help ensure their employees payroll needs are met. However, many companies have a significant number of employees, who have some common payroll questions which take away from the other payroll accounting duties. As a result, larger companies have looked for ways to answer their employee's questions without taking time away from other duties. The use of a ChatBot program can help these companies to answer questions about how to complete direct deposit information, completing a W-4 form, or questions about pay periods and pay dates. The use of these programs make it possible for the accounting department to complete other tasks and only get involved in answering questions that are more complex than what the Bot is prepared to answer.
Another recent development in the use of ChatBots is in the ability to submit expenses and track receipts. The user is also able to track outstanding invoices so the user can follow up with customers to ensure invoices are paid in a timely manner. An example of this would be when a ChatBot allow the user to ask a question, like, "Do I have any outstanding invoices?" The program then is able to search the finance information to locate any outstanding invoices and communicates the findings with the user. As a result, the ability to track expenses is able to be completed quickly and accurately.
There is no telling what is next in the way ChatBots are going to be used in the accounting world to make the accounting process easier. The possibilities are endless as the technology continues to evolve daily. Only time will tell how ChatBots will continue to infiltrate the accounting industry.
Small business often start out utilizing Excel- but that's only doable up until a point. Like every adolescent eventually becomes an adult, your business needs to evolve and grow. Find out why the smartest organisations are employing cloud accounting software instead.
In Excel you don't get a alerting if you try to enter the same invoice number or invoice number twice, whereas you would if you used accounting application. Doubling up on accounting transactions can get you into a real mess.
It is time consuming to set up a detailed, useful spreadsheet. You need to have the end result in brain before you even start and then work out a designing that they are able to get you that purpose outcome. A plenty of day is wasted if you are part style through setting up a spreadsheet simply to realise that it can only do half the job you need it to do. For example, you might be able to set up a spreadsheet that tracks all of your revenues and expenses, "but its" tricky and day eating to define it up to track taxation codes for your Business Activity Statement as well.
If more than one person is entering information into a spreadsheet it is difficult to tell who has entered or changed information. This leaves the door wide open for fraud to occur.
Excel spreadsheets can be linked to other Excel spreadsheets, which can save you hour. Nonetheless it is easy to associate a cell incorrectly which results in errors that can be hard to see. You could be using the same spreadsheet for months without realising it is picking up incorrect figures from another spreadsheet. Just like in Reason# 1, Excel doesn't warn you of possibilities errors. A quick internet search for" spreadsheet blunders" depicts just how costly some of these errors can be.
You can teach yourself how to use Excel and set up spreadsheets, however with such easy to use accounting software on the market now, isn't your time better spent study software that will do most of the hard work for you? For instance, applying software with automatic bank feeds, such as Xero, can reduce time spent on manual data entry once set up correctly.
While it can often be hard to alter the way you do business and embrace change, the potential rewards are huge.

Exhibition devoted to King Faisal to open in London this month
Exhibition devoted to King Faisal to open in London this month /node/1597091/saudi-arabia
https://arab.news/rfwn8
The event commemorates the 100th anniversary of his historic visit to Britain, Ireland and France in 1919
At the time still a child, and 45 years from becoming king, he was the first Saudi royal to visit England
LONDON: An exhibition about King Faisal bin Abul Aziz will open in London this month. Titled "A life at the Heart of the Twentieth Century," it commemorates the 100th anniversary of his historic, five-month visit to Britain, Ireland and France. Still a child at the time, he was the first Saudi royal to visit England.
"This exhibition is one of many to be held in Europe to introduce the world to King Faisal, his personality, history and biography as one of the most prominent world leaders," said Prince Turki Al-Faisal, the chairman of the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies, which organized the event.
"It will trace King Faisal's footsteps, showcasing parts of his journey, some of the places he visited, the figures he met and the importance of his visit to the continent in 1919.
"The event, titled 'A life at the Heart of the Twentieth Century,' will run for three weeks. It will include some of his personal possessions, along with manuscripts, telegrams, letters, paintings, maps, photographs, articles and press coverage that documented this historic visit."
The exhibition features seven sections. "Najed" showcases the king's early life, while "India" tells the story of the visit that constituted his first contact with the outside world. "London" documents his visit to the city that was his first stop during his 1919 visit, while "England, Wales and Ireland," traces his subsequent tour of Britain and Ireland.
"On the battlefields" highlight King Faisal's visit to the killing fields of Europe just a year after the end of World War I. "Paris" tells the story of his visit to the French capital, while "Heritage" explores the positive results and legacy of his historic trip.
The exhibition opens in the Nash Room at 116 Pall Mall on Dec. 20. In addition to KFCRIS, the official sponsors are the King Faisal Foundation and the Kingdom's embassy in the UK. The Family Office Co. and Al-Saad Group for Investment and Development are strategic sponsors, and SEDCO Holding Co. is a gold sponsor.
The silver sponsors are the Saudi Petrochemical Company, Al-Rashed Trading and Contracting Co., Al-Zamil Group and Mohammed Al-Saad Al-Ajlan Sons Co. The official carrier is Saudia Airlines, and the international media sponsors are Arab News and Asharq Al-Awsat newspapers.
The exhibition has been held in a number of regions in the Kingdom and was hosted by the Kazakh cities of Astana and Almaty in 2017.

Fraudsters up their game, posing as bank officials on the phone in Saudi Arabia /node/1794316/saudi-arabia
Vishing that occurs during a telephone call aims to provoke fear in the victim so that customers will be more susceptible to giving out personal, financial, or security details. (shutterstock)

The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) has warned bank customers, both citizens and expatriates, not to fall victim to financial frauds being perpetrated by scammers
JEDDAH: Fraudsters have developed a new scam, contacting residents in Saudi Arabia and pretending to be bank staffers requesting customer details.
A number of Arab News staff have received such calls in recent weeks. One caller spoke Urdu while two other callers posing as senior officials from the headquarters of the bank spoke in English and Arabic with a local accent.
They used phone numbers that appeared to be local numbers but upon calling back, the lines failed to connect.
The racketeers collect phone numbers of customers and ring them up, saying that their bank account or ATM card requires immediate updating. The scammers use the information provided to gain access to their bank accounts.
Speaking to Arab News, Talat Zaki Hafiz, secretary-general of the Media and Banking Awareness Committee of Saudi banks, said: "Saudi banks represented by the Media and Banking Awareness Committee have repeatedly warned bank customers not to react to stray phone calls of any kind coming from unknown sources that ask to update their banking record or personal information." He further confirmed that banks do not request such information through phone calls or SMS messages.
Mohammed Khurram Khan, a professor of cybersecurity at the King Saud University in Riyadh, told Arab News: "Phishing, an online scam which targets users through emails where individuals are encouraged to click on a link that takes them to fraudulent sites, was troubling people. Now it's a different kind of scam known as 'vishing,' over-the-phone phishing, where scammers persuade users to share their banking information by impersonating a bank official."
Vishing that occurs during a telephone call aims to provoke fear in the victim so that customers will be more susceptible to giving out personal, financial, or security details.
Sharing his experience Zafar Hasan, an e-learning consultant in Riyadh, said: "I received a call from someone on an unknown mobile number who introduced himself as a bank employee and told me that my ATM card was going to be blocked. It required an immediate update so I should give my Iqama number (residence permit number) and sixteen-digit ATM card number. I felt something was fishy, so I told him that I would go personally to the bank to update the card."
The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) has warned bank customers, both citizens and expatriates, not to fall victim to financial frauds being perpetrated by scammers.
SAMA called on bank customers to take information only from the official channels of the bodies regulating the Kingdom's financial and investment sectors and inform the competent security authorities about such fraudulent attempts.

"that we may know Him that is true..." - 1 John 5:20
ThatWeMayKnow.com
is dedicated to the knowing and sharing of truth and providing readers with springboards for their own thought on a variety of subjects. As much as we possibly can, we want to avoid speculation and the pushing of personal preferences. And, as much as we can we want to apply ourselves to the speaking of the truth in love however passionate the "tone" may seem at times.
Andrei Sakharov, the father of the Soviet Hydrogen bomb who once said that the bomb was the most powerful weapon on earth, later said that he'd changed his mind about this, believing instead that, "The most powerful weapon in the world is the truth." Two millennia before this, Jesus said, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). Real truth has the power to free people from the bondage and misery that sin. It is the only lethal weapon against lies. This truth, is that which is found in the Word of God — truth that addresses every issue exactly and explains the reason for, and the answer, to every problem.
Edward Everett Hale famously said, "I am only on, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because iI cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do." This is my sentiment exactly and the reason for this web site. I hope you will partner-up with me in this by recommending and sharing this site with your friends

Opinion: Amazon is pushing us toward a screenless future, and I kinda love it
By Drew Prindle	 September 26, 2019
This past Wednesday, September 25, Amazon announced a veritable boatload of new gadgets. There were smart night lights, smart microwaves, smart glasses, and even smart rings; but despite the seemingly random nature of the devices that were announced, they all shared a common thread: a stark and clearly intentional lack of displays.
Now, don't get me wrong; I don't think Amazon is doing this for altruistic reasons. These gadget announcements definitely aren't part of some elaborate scheme to usher in a screenless utopian future that Jeff Bezos envisioned during an acid trip at Burning Man. Rather, this is most likely a logical strategic move for Amazon. The company's smartphones and tablets aren't exactly outselling those from Apple and Samsung, but its Alexa-enabled smart speakers are a massive hit with consumers — so it makes sense for the company to double (or quintuple) down on what's working and pump out a bunch more voice-controlled gadgets.
Still, regardless of Amazon's underlying motives, it seems to be steering us toward a world that isn't so dominated by glowing, blinking, attention-stealing screens — and that's something I think we can all get behind.
Screenage Wasteland
At this point, it's no secret that screen overload is a problem. Numerous bestselling books have been written on the subject, and countless scientific studies have examined how screens affect us physically, mentally, and socially. But you don't have to read anything to see the trend.
Evidence of our problematic relationship with screens can be found everywhere. People do digital detoxes now. Phubbing (a word that describes the act of snubbing someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention) is now an official word in many dictionaries. Companies have even developed glasses and contact lenses that allegedly protect your eyeballs from the retina-ruining levels of blue light emanating from our monitors, tablets, smartphones, and smartwatches. Don't even get me started on texting and driving.
Zhang Peng / Getty
Yet, in spite of the fact that screen overload is such a widely recognized problem, screens are still an omnipresent part of modern life. We just can't seem to kick the habit. Why? Because up until very recently, there wasn't any other option. The high-tech world we've built for ourselves runs on clicking, tapping, and entering text — and all of those things require you to focus your attention on some sort of display.
It doesn't have to be like this, though. Speech recognition technology is now advanced enough for us to perform web searches, set reminders, dictate text messages, and even control smart home devices using nothing but spoken commands. I don't know about you, but I can't wait for that list to expand. If we could bake this technology into more screenless devices — things like headphones, rings, and non-AR glasses — it would theoretically allow us to enjoy the benefits of mobile technology without constantly having to disconnect from the physical world and stare into a liquid crystal distraction.
If we're ever going to break the cycle and return to a world where screens don't command our attention so much, we need more devices that allow us to interact with technology exclusively via voice — and that's precisely what Amazon is building.
Making it mainstream
Now to be fair, Amazon definitely isn't pioneering something new here. Google and Apple also have voice assistants that you can talk to through your headphones, Facebook is apparently building a set of voice-controlled smart glasses, and startups all over the globe have been working on stuff like this for years.
As such, I don't think what Amazon is doing is special because it's innovative or new — it's special simply because it's Amazon that's doing it. There's no other company on earth that can popularize something with sheer brute force quite like Amazon. Look at Kindles. Look at Echo Dots. Look at Prime Day. If there's any company that's going to bring voice control to the masses and eventually get us to the point where screens aren't such an oppressively essential part of everyday life, I think it's Amazon.
It feels weird to say, but for once, I think the company is pushing our technological world in the right direction.
…Now if only it could pay its fair share of taxes and give employees a reasonable wage!

San Francisco-based hotel-booking biz Airbnb wants a quarter of its users in the US to provide passports or driving licences when reserving a room.
The company, which describes itself as a "trusted community marketplace" for people to list and book accommodation around the world, said that there was "no place for anonymity" on such a service.
Airbnb wants its users to marry their online profiles (such as Facebook and LinkedIn) to their offline ID docs by confirming personal information or scanning a photo identity into its website. The web biz has four million customers.
The data will then be hoarded by the outfit, which receives significant investments from a VC fund headed up by actor Aston Kutcher.
Airbnb will require a random 25 per cent of users in the USA to go through the Verified ID process. Soon, we'll expand this requirement to users around the world.
We hope that hosts and guests worldwide will see the benefits of interacting with users who complete Verified ID. Our goal is for all Airbnb members to have Verified ID eventually.
Your information may be processed and maintained on computers located outside of the European Economic Area where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. In particular, Airbnb transfers personal information to the United States and processes it there.
The bold move could raise concerns among privacy campaigners as the company wants to collect ID docs globally while effectively ignoring local law.
Up until now, Airbnb relied solely upon social networks to verify the ID of its users. Now it wants to build a database that links, say, a user's Facebook account to their passport.
But it's a strategy - known as federated identity - that isn't simply one being mulled over by private companies.

White Lady of the Hohenzollern
The writer does not know the White Lady tradition at Schonnbrunn, nor has he ever been able to ascertain anything definite about her history. But there is plenty of documentary evidence, as well as a wonderful array of records concerning the White Lady of the Hohenzollerns who makes her appearance In the old palace at Berlin whenever death Is about to overtake a member of the reigning house of Prussia. The late Emperor Frederick In particular was greatly interested In the matter and collected all the evidence that he could upon the subject for the purpose of depositing it In the archives of his family; Perhaps the most Important piece of testimony in this connection are the sworn statements signed by Prince Frederick of Prussia and a number of his fellows, to all of whom the White Lady is declared to have appeared as they sat together on the eve of the Prince's death at the battle of Saalfeld in 1806.
Moreover, Thomas Carlyle went to no little trouble to procure evidence when writing the history of Frederick the Great that the White Lady had appeared to that famous monarch on the eve of his death.
Indeed, It Is asserted that the King was on the road to recovery from his illness, when suddenly one morning he declared he had seen the white-clad specter during the night, that his hour had come, and that it was useless to try to avoid death any longer. So he refused to take any further medicine, turned his face to the wall, and died. It seems that this White Lady of the Hohenzollern was originally the Countess Agnes von Orlamunde, who murdered her First husband, as well as her two children, in order to be enabled to marry the Burgrave of Nuremberg, the ancestor of the Electors of Brandenburg and of the house of Hohenzollern. The triple murder Is asserted to have taken place within the precincts of this palace…

#7 Photography as a medium
Speaking: Paul Bogaers
Photo Paul Bogaers from Portfolio 54, published by Galerie Pennings in 2002
In 1996, Paul Bogaers (1961) received a phone call from Harry Pennings. That phone conversation was the start of a long collaboration with the gallery. Paul Bogaers has been allowed to organize a solo exhibition three times. In addition, his work was regularly shown in group presentations and his work went to numerous art fairs.
Association and suggestion play a central role in the work of Paul Bogaers. "In the 1980s I worked a lot with socalled 'found' photos, existing images, mostly anonymous photos and amateur snapshots." He created an archive of existing images to be able to use up.
"I connect photos (self-made or found) to an often unexpected equivalent and thereby create new associations for the viewer. A new way of looking." With his 'Photo Combinations', Bogaers makes combinations of images, in or next to each other. "Through the rearrangement of the everyday, my performances are completely handed over to the eye of the spectators. Spectators whose gaze depents on the state of mind they are in."
The use of Objets trouvés (utensils) in the visual arts was a discovery by Marcel Duchamp in the early 20th century and was soon applied by other Surrealists and Dadaists, such as Man Ray. In the 1950s it was also applied again by artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. On the other hand, it was not customary within photography to work with existing images. Boltanski already made installations with existing portrait photos in the 1980s, but he was an exception."
Paul Bogaers was one of the first in the Dutch art world to implement photography as a medium, as part of a larger whole. "The majority of my oeuvre consists of visual art where one or more photos play a central role. Slowly I switched from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. I do not consider myself a photographer, although everyone else seems to be doing this."(Paul Bogaers studied at the Academy of Visual Arts in Tilburg.)
Photo Paul Bogaers from the book Upset Down (2010)
"An artist makes what he wants to make. The artwork is connected to the artist. Whether or not that what the artist makes will fit in within the time and place and will become part of the mainstream, is simply the question."
An outsider in the field of photography. Perhaps that is exactly what appealed to Harry Pennings when he decided to call Paul Bogaers. "It was quite remarkable that Harry just called me. That did not happen often with artists. He had seen my work (I don't remember where) and said: "I think it's interesting. Can we meet?" A civilized voice.
I regularly exhibited at the Fotomania gallery in Rotterdam and so I ended up in the world of photography by chance. It could have been different."
Invitation exhibition 'In de Piepzak' at Galerie Pennings, 1997
In 1997 Paul held his first exhibition in the gallery with the title 'In de Piepzak'. A solo exhibition was intended, but at his own request, Paul involved his good friend and visual artist Fred van Eldijk in the project, who made three-dimensional work. "It became a crazy exhibition with objects and 'pure' photos by me. We both searched for a deeper truth hidden behind the banal everyday. Harry gave us complete freedom in the design of the exhibition. Not all gallery owners do that. But that was also necessary. My work is so specific that the setting and also the layout of the space become part of the artwork itself. I always have a strong idea about how it should work."
Paul Bogaers Portfolio number 20 appeared in the gallery's series at the 1997 exhibition. In addition to two photo combinations and a CV, it contains a long text that serves as an artist statement. What is special about this text is that it is a compilation of existing lines of text from all kinds of books, but knitted together as a logical story. In fact, this is also a form of objets trouvés. You have to be an artist to come up with something like that. In 2007, Bogaers published a literary work of more than 400 pages, 'Onderlangs' (IJzer publishing house in Utrecht), which consists entirely of 'found' lines of text. At the back of this book are photographs of Paul, cutting and pasting, in the midst of countless copies of texts."
Paul Bogaers and Harry Pennings building up the exhibition in Bienne (2001)
In 2001, Paul traveled with Harry and Françoise Pennings to the Bienne photo festival in Switzerland. Paul was allowed to make a presentation with his work. "I was the only artist who represented Galerie Pennings. There was no sale from the exhibition. That is something that I was not very concerned about. And neither did Harry, which was strange for a gallery owner. Harry also took my work to fairs such as Paris Photo (in 2000). "(See blog #2)
In 2002 Paul held his second exhibition in the gallery called 'Paintings and other photos'. He showed photographs of paintings, framed photographs of paintings and doors in primer paint, as if it were abstract painting. "It was fascinating me, especially in the medium that is so attached to the visible of reality, to look for ways to show the invisible."
At this exhibition, another portfolio appeared in the gallery's series, number 54. This includes the following statement by him:
"As an artist who uses the photography medium (I don't feel like a photographer), I am much more focused on the imagination of an inner world than on the journalistic or documentary possibilities of photography. It is fascinating to me, precisely in that medium that is so attached to the visible of reality, to look for ways to show the invisible (..) "
Upset down
After Petra Cardinaal took over the gallery, Paul remained in good contact with the gallery. In 2011 he set up an exhibition called 'Upset down'. This exhibition was previously on show at Museum De Pont in Tilburg. A book with the same title appeared at the exhibition.
"In 'Upset Down' Bogaers investigates figuratively but also literally the reversibility of images. Each time two photos are presented, with the right image standing upright and the left image upside down. The resulting combinations can also be reversed in their entirety. Then the image pairs reveal other details and evoke new associations. In the book of the same name, this results in a sequence of images that can be 'read' to two sides. Presented on the wall, the works have another special feature: each photo combination has two 'sides' and can actually be hung in two different ways. The maker therefore advises to reverse these works every six months, so that the look is constantly refreshed. "(Website Paul Bogaers)
(The books 'Upset Down' and 'Onderlangs' are in the library of Pennings Foundation.)
After that, Bogaers started to work more sculptural. He made extensions from his photos in papier-mâché. His work was frequently seen in the gallery. His work stood out because it was three-dimensional and because you had to look carefully wether it was still photographic.
"Still I don't sell much. That is sometimes daunting. Photography is already a niche. I am also an outsider within that." Petra has always believed in him and always took his work to fairs, including Art Rotterdam, Art The Hague and Fotofever in Brussels and Paris.
Reframe by Paul Bogaers, on show at Fotofever, Paris (2013)
"Suppose I started my carreer now, my work would be better appreciated. I was just too early with it. The 90s, that was the time of the razor-sharp photos of Hans Aarsman and of the staged photography. My work did not fit in well. Only now does the time seem ripe."
Paul Bogaers was a member of the Harry Pennings Award jury twice and is regularly asked as a reviewer for the portfolio review days that Pennings Foundation organizes twice a year.

Far too many students around the world are trapped in a vicious circle of poor performance and demotivation that leads only to more bad marks and further disengagement from school. Worse, poor performance at school has long-term consequences, both for the individual and for society as a whole. Students who perform poorly at age 15 face a high risk of dropping out of school altogether. When a large share of the population lacks basic skills, a country's long-term economic growth is severely compromised.

In agronomia e pedologia, la tessitura è la proprietà fisica del terreno che lo identifica in base alla composizione percentuale delle sue particelle solide distinte per classi granulometriche. Questa proprietà è importante per lo studio dei suoli e del terreno in quanto ne condiziona sensibilmente le proprietà fisico-chimiche e meccaniche con riflessi sulla dinamica dell'acqua e dell'aria e sulla tecnica agronomica.

La tecnica agronomica influisce pochissimo sulla tessitura, fatta eccezione per l'apporto di alcuni ammendanti che in ogni modo ha un ruolo marginale. Più che una correzione vera e propria della tessitura, che avrebbe costi proibitivi, la tecnica agronomica si prefigge gli scopi di correggere i difetti di una tessitura anomala e di esaltare gli aspetti positivi delle singole frazioni granulometriche.

Classi dimensionali delle particelle

A prescindere dai diversi schemi di classificazione, le frazioni granulometriche del terreno si distinguono in grossolana (sabbia e scheletro), fine (limo) e finissima (argilla); sabbia, limo e argilla costituiscono la cosiddetta terra fine.

Esistono delle leggere differenze nella definizione dei limiti delle classi diametriche delle particelle componenti la terra fine in un suolo: secondo la distinzione del Dipartimento dell'Agricoltura degli Stati Uniti, maggiormente utilizzata al mondo, le classi diametriche della terra fine sono:
 argilla, con diametro minore di 2 micron;
 limo, diametro compreso fra 2 e 50 micron;
 sabbia, fra 50 micron e 2 mm. Questa classe viene suddivisa in sottoclassi:
 sabbia molto fine, fra 50 e 100 micron;
 sabbia fine, fra i 100 e i 250 micron;
 sabbia media, fra 250 e 500 micron;
 sabbia grossa, fra 500 micron e 1 mm;
 sabbia molto grossa, da 1 a 2 mm.

Una seconda distinzione, anch'essa di un certo rilievo a livello internazionale, è quella proposta dall'ISSS, che differisce leggermente dato che fissa i seguenti limiti:
 argilla, con diametro minore di 2 micron;
 limo, fra 2 e 20 micron;
 sabbia, fra 20 micron e 2 mm, divisa in:
 sabbia fine, fra i 20 e i 200 micron;
 sabbia grossa, da 200 micron a 2 mm.

Ogni distinzione di tipo dimensionale si intende eseguita su suoli in cui sia stata cancellata del tutto la struttura (tessitura reale), che altera il comportamento dei suoli tramite la formazione di aggregati stabili.

Argilla

In virtù delle piccolissime dimensioni e delle proprietà colloidali di una parte di questa frazione, l'argilla conferisce al terreno un notevole sviluppo della superficie d'interfaccia con la fase liquida e con la fase gassosa e, di conseguenza, un ruolo attivo nei fenomeni di adsorbimento e di aggregazione strutturale che si traduce nelle seguenti proprietà fra loro correlate:
 Elevata porosità, orientata verso una microporosità prevalente.
 Grande capacità d'invaso ed elevata ritenzione idrica.
 Tensione matriciale elevata (in valore assoluto) sia per l'adsorbimento colloidale sia per la capillarità.
 Scarsa permeabilità e difficoltà di movimento dell'acqua, con tendenza al ristagno e all'asfissia.
 Elevati valori della coesione allo stato asciutto e dell'adesione allo stato plastico.
 Compattezza e tenacità allo stato coesivo.
 Plasticità e adesività allo stato plastico.
 Liquidità allo stato fluido.
 Tendenza al costipamento.

Elevati tenori di argilla pongono pertanto seri problemi di fertilità fisica, che possono essere evitati con una gestione conservativa della struttura. La tecnica colturale deve pertanto fare attenzione al mantenimento di una stabilità strutturale. Per contro, l'argilla offre le condizioni per il mantenimento di un'elevata fertilità chimica e biologica.

Limo
Ha proprietà intermedie fra quelle della sabbia e quelle dell'argilla. In particolare le particelle più grandi hanno proprietà analoghe a quelle della sabbia, le più fini a quelle dell'argilla escluse le proprietà colloidali. In definitiva, il limo eredita pregi e difetti della sabbia e dell'argilla che in parte si autocompensano.

Elevati tenori di limo pongono problemi sia di fertilità fisica e soprattutto meccanica, sia di fertilità chimica. Si tratta dei terreni di più difficile gestione e la tecnica colturale deve prestare attenzione sia agli aspetti chimici che a quelli fisici.

Sabbia

In virtù delle dimensioni relativamente grandi conferisce al terreno un ridotto sviluppo della superficie d'interfaccia, pertanto la sabbia è una frazione sostanzialmente inerte da cui derivano le seguenti proprietà:
 Limitata porosità in gran parte costituita da macroporosità .
 Limitata capacità d'invaso e scarsa capacità di ritenzione idrica.
 Tensione matriciale più bassa (in valore assoluto) in gran parte dovuta alla capillarità.
 Elevata permeabilità e facilità di movimento dell'acqua, con tendenza al rapido sgrondo.
 Coesione e adesione virtualmente nulle.
 Sofficità e scarsa resistenza alla penetrazione di organi lavoranti e di radici.
 Elevata portanza.
 Elevata velocità di ossidazione della sostanza organica del terreno.

Elevati tenori di sabbia pongono problemi di fertilità fisica solo in relazione alla dinamica dell'acqua, mentre sono ottime le proprietà meccaniche. La sabbia è invece causa di una scarsa fertilità chimica e biologica, accentuata dall'elevato potenziale redox del terreno e dalla lisciviazione. La tecnica colturale deve pertanto fare attenzione a sopperire le carenze idriche e nutrizionali a cui vanno facilmente soggetti i terreni ricchi di sabbia.

Scheletro
Per scheletro si intende la classe granulometrica di dimensioni superiori a 2 mm. Ha proprietà analoghe a quelle della sabbia da cui eredita soprattutto i difetti, esaltandoli. Le principali proprietà legate allo scheletro sono le seguenti:
 Scarsa porosità in gran parte costituita da macroporosità.
 Limitata capacità d'invaso e scarsa capacità di ritenuta idrica.
 Tensione matriciale bassissima.
 Elevata permeabilità e facilità di movimento dell'acqua, con tendenza al rapido sgrondo.
 Coesione e adesione assenti.
 Sofficità e compattezza strettamente legate alle dimensioni dello scheletro.
 Elevata portanza.
 Rapida usura degli organi lavoranti e difficoltà di esecuzione di diverse operazioni colturali.

Elevati tenori in scheletro sono da considerarsi negativi a tutti gli effetti in quanto esaltano i difetti della sabbia senza mantenerne i pregi e ostacolano o addirittura impediscono l'esecuzione di molti interventi agronomici. La tecnica colturale deve pertanto adattarsi ad una specifica realtà poco migliorabile e curare in particolare il mantenimento della fertilità chimica e la disponibilità idrica.

Per ridurre lo scheletro è possibile utilizzare particolari macchine che agiscono o separandolo dalla terra fine, o frantumandolo. Esiste un'unica eccezione in cui si è verificato che questa operazione non porta alcun beneficio, ed è quella dei pascoli alpini, in cui lo scheletro permette di mantenere un tenore d'umidità più elevato che in assenza di esso.

Classe granulometrica

La proporzione relativa delle singole frazioni dimensionali determina la classe granulometrica del suolo in questione; sempre secondo l'USDA, queste sono 12, sotto elencate dalla più grossolana alla più fine:
 Sabbiosa
 Sabbioso franca
 Limosa
 Franco sabbiosa
 Franca
 Franco limosa
 Franco sabbiosa argillosa
 Franco argillosa
 Franco limosa argillosa
 Argilloso sabbiosa
 Argilloso limosa
 Argillosa

I terreni con tessitura più equilibrata sono quelli cosiddetti franchi o di medio impasto, contenenti cioè una percentuale di sabbia (dal 35 al 55%) tale da permettere una buona circolazione idrica, una sufficiente ossigenazione ed una facile penetrazione delle radici; una percentuale di argilla (dal 10 al 25%) tale da mantenere un sufficiente grado di umidità nei periodi asciutti, di permettere la strutturazione e di trattenere i nutrienti; una frazione trascurabile di scheletro. Nei terreni di medio impasto il limo risulta presente in percentuali che vanno dal 25 al 45%, meno ce n'è e più il terreno risulta di qualità.

Determinazione della tessitura
La determinazione della granulometria viene effettuata solo sulla parte di terra fine, viene quindi eliminata la parte di scheletro tramite setacciatura.
Per una determinazione ottimale vanno effettuati dei pretrattamenti:
 aggiunta di HCl fino a pH 3, in modo da eliminare i carbonati
 trattamento con H2O2 per ossidare la sostanza organica
 aggiunta di una soluzione di metafosfato sodico o "calgon" per agevolare la dispersione e impedire la riaggregazione delle particelle.
Ci sono quindi vari metodi per procedere, il più utilizzato è quello che si basa sulla diversa velocità di sedimentazione delle particelle, in base alle loro diverse dimensioni.

Happy Pancake Day! Why do we celebrate Pancake Day (Shrove Tueday)?
Shrove Tuesday, is traditionally a day for some merry-making - a last 'fling' before the long fast.
It is best remembered today with making pancakes, the last chance to indulge yourself before Lent. For most people it is just pancake day and nothing more, but the custom arose through the need to use up food items, which were forbidden during Lent.
Pancakes were, and still are believed to be of good luck in many areas of the world as they contained many herbs and food items associated with the prosperity and longevity.
Pancakes are eaten and pancake races are held in villages and towns. The object of the race is to get to the finishing line first, carrying a frying pan with a cooked pancake in it whilst flipping the pancake a pre-decided number of times. The skill lies not so much in the running of the race but in flipping and catching the pancake, which must be intact when the finishing line is reached.
'Shrove' refers to the practice of confessing of sins, then afterwards the fast of Lent could be considered a penance of faults committed What happens on Pancake Day in England?


Isn't it interesting that kids hate the idea of going to bed, yet they are happy to pretend to go to bed? Here are some pictures I caught while my sister was visiting with her kids. Don't they look like they are having a blast?!
This entry was posted in Kids, pictures/video on April 20, 2009 by Tabetha Gedeon.


Just "liked" you on FB…wish there was a "love" button! I just found you via Home Stories A to Z and so glad I did! You will be a daily read for me as I feel you will be a source of great inspiration for me!
Can't wait to meet Annie at the events at Sea Rose Cottage!
Hi Jackie! Annie's 2012 American Tour will take her to Boston on April 2, 2012—the final leg of her trip. I will be joining her along with other Northeast Region Stockists. Can't wait!
Someone in my own neck of the woods! Wow I am so excited! I have been following Miss Mustard Seed for years along with other bloggers, but everyone lived so far away from me! So glad to stumble upon your amazing blog!!!! This is so wonderful! I am literally smiling from ear to ear! I found you via Stories from A to Z ! When I saw Bristol RI I nearly passed out! Being from Fairhaven MA! You will be a daily read for me!
Thanks Stephanie! I assure you, you are not alone! I have met so many MMS fans since working with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. I love visiting Fairhaven and never miss the Euro Store and stopping for lunch at the local cafe when I'm in town.
So excited to try your ASCP. I'm sure it will give my furniture projects a whole new look..
Thanks Chris! I had so much fun today and also loved learning from you. Can't wait to hear about your next adventures in painting!


Dogs are masters at reading humans' behavioral cues, but how well do you understand your dog's body language? By learning to interpret your dog's body language, you will know when he or she is comfortable or feeling scared, when he or she needs dog food, or when he or she is asking to go outside.
Watch this video for lots of insight into common body language used by dogs and what it means. Reading these cues will help you develop an even better relationship with your pup.
At EZ Pet Care, we make caring for your dog just a little easier, with dog food delivery, mobile pet grooming and pet waste removal services in Dallas. For more information, please call (888) 613-1320.
Frozen dog food is becoming increasingly popular with pet families. With frozen food, you can give your dog a variety of nutrients without the processing that comes with kibble and off-the-shelf wet food. Of course, feeding your dog frozen food requires a little preparation, so that meals are ready when you need them. These tips will help you add frozen food to your dog's diet if you're thinking of adding it to your dog food delivery order.
If you're feeding frozen food, it's best to take two servings out at a time to thaw. For example, take two servings out every evening, so that it is thawed in time for breakfast and you also have dinner covered for that day. Resist the urge to feed food that isn't completely thawed. Your dog may take it, but it makes digestion difficult. Freeze-dried foods are a good, shelf-stable backup to have on hand if you forget to thaw something in time for a meal.
EZ Pet Care offers food for every dog's dietary needs through our pet food delivery service in Dallas. Learn more about all of our services, including mobile pet grooming and dog waste removal by calling (888) 613-1320.
When your dog needs more exercise than just a walk, you can head over to a local dog park and let your pup off the leash to play with newfound friends. Always bring your own pet waste removal bags. Even if the park has some available, you never know when they might run out. And always clean up all of your dog's feces, even if it's only a small amount.
For more helpful etiquette tips, watch the accompanying video. You'll learn how to keep your dog safe and happy. This video recommends putting the phone away so that you can keep a close eye on your pup and the other dogs at the park.
Although it's necessary for puppy parents to clean up dog poop at the dog park, you can make arrangements for pet waste removal services at your home. Just call EZ Pet Care at (888) 613-1320 to request a poop scooper in Dallas.
