The Supreme Court and Politics
"On April 8, 2017, the Pepperdine Law Review will hold its annual symposium on the question of whether the political deadlock over the Merrick Garland nomination provides a stark indication the U.S. Supreme Court has become an unduly political institution, and, if so, what internal and external reforms might address this problem. We invite all interested scholars to submit a relevant proposal to present at the symposium and be considered for publication in a special edition of our law review."
I submitted a proposal for this program, which was selected. So, I will be presenting on Arpil 8, with a paper to be published in the Pepperdine Law Review. Below is the proposal--the reader will see that I reject some of the terms of the issue, as presented by the announcement.
Ideological Domination in an Age of Nihilism
To ask whether the U.S. Supreme Court has become "unduly political" is to confuse the partisan with the ideological. In Bush v. Gore, all of the Justices voted in a politically partisan manner, jettisoning established legal commitments to promote the goals of the political Parties. Such partisanship is reprehensible, but as Hamdi v. Rumsfeld illustrates, thankfully rare.
The refusal of the Republican leadership in the Senate to schedule a nomination vote for Merrick Garland does not reflect a fear of such partisanship from Judge Garland. Instead, this paralysis reflects a realistic appreciation of the ideological cohesion currently present in the highest stratum of American law. It is utterly predictable that any nominee from a Democratic President today will share a laundry list of fully formed commitments—defending Roe v. Wade and Obergefeld v. Hodges while overturning Citizens United v. FEC, for example—just as any nominee from a Republican President will manifest a commitment to textualism and originalism that yields the opposite case outcomes. Since the same ideological commitments control the political Parties, it is reasonable for Republicans to hold out to see whether their side might prevail in the coming Presidential election.
Sanctimonious talk about the rule of law, or the qualifications of a judicial nominee, only hide these political and legal realities. Our situation is not a government of men rather than of law. It is a government of ruling ideologies. The resulting deadlock and political decline is clearly harmful, but a solution is hard to imagine. There are no "specific reform measures."
Certainly no solution can be expected from law professors. Law schools are the engines of this ideological cohesion. Legal commitments touching on political issues are completely predictable there. Legal arguments by law professors are usually fabrications in support of an edifice of ideology.
There is one fundamental commitment that unites law professors and judges. It is that normative commitments are the product of subjectivity—human will. Conservative jurisprudence adapts to this insight by attempting to impose arbitrary rules of interpretation to restrict judicial discretion. Liberal jurisprudence, which is much less developed, tends to adapt by substituting process and equality concerns for normative argument. Everyone agrees that judgment is a mask for power.
Could this context change? The reason that science largely avoids ideological hardening, despite tendencies in that direction, is that science has a subject matter of study. Despite academic calls for empirical research, the legal profession lacks similar understanding of the subject matter of law. Even worse, our ideological straightjacket blocks appreciation that the lack of a subject matter is the problem and prevents any movement toward its resolution.
There was an earlier tradition in law, represented by figures such as Charles Black and Justice John Harlan, which assumed that something akin to Truth could be sought in law, as it could be sought elsewhere. This normative tradition has now collapsed and cannot simply be reinstituted. To that extent, Nietzsche is right.
But this is not the last word. There are new starting points, represented by thinkers such as Bernard Lonergan and Martin Heidegger, promising other ways of investigating human flourishing. Even to begin down that path, however, law professors would have to be willing to learn something new.

means "Circus of the Sun"
a blog friend fave, this necklace for her birthday last December.
I always keep it in stock.
household items from a neighbor who was moving out of town.
Who spray paints their utensil holder? I do!
A fun pop of color on the fridge.
More turq on the entertainment center in my living room.
This is going to look so cute with my new curtains I am working on.
This table was ivory with a few painted kelly green flowers.
The turq did me proud.
Grab yourself some spray paint & add a little color in your life.
Love your creations! I am inspired to add some turq to my new house....I think I need to go buy some spray paint!!
So cheery! That color does scream "Julie", in fact, so does the name. :) What a handy little table too.
love it! you have inspired me! searching the house now for some random items to paint.
looove the turq! I think I actually have that same end table, except its brown.
Happy Mother's Day! Hope you get spoiled!
Everything looks better in turquoise.
LOOOOOOOOVE your turquoise creations, Marta!! So pretty - great job!
and I totally picked up a can of blue ocean breeze at walmart yesterday...thinking of spray painting some old shoes with it. hmm..


I often use these colors to combine the abilities and advantages of these mediums. You should work on a gessoed canvas or board, depending on the motif and preferences you can wetsand and regesso the surface several times, using a high quality, medium absorbent material. You always work with oils on top of the acrylics!
The advantage of the acrylics is the short drying time, enabling a quick overlaying of glazes, half transparent or opaque colors to create complex structures, which would take weeks with oils. The medium being based on water, using an airbrush is also an interesting option. Painting large areas with very smooth tonality changes, like skies, is more effectively and efficiently solved as with oils, at least if you know how to handle an airbrush, which is definitely a more complicated tool than a standard brush.
Oil colours are drying rather slowly, depending on the mediums you can use, but usually they need a night for sufficient dryness to work on the next layer, compared to a few minutes with acrylics. I use them for glazes and for working into wet glazes, changing and harmonizing overall tonality as well as working out fine details which need longer wet in wet working. Also oil colours or glazes intensify the acrylics and give them a warmer touch, which is a result of the oil medium and its light refraction properties.


Following on from last month's EXCLUSIVE on the exciting Viking hoard unearthed in Scotland we follow its journey as the Carolingian vessel is scanned to aid the excavation of its precious cargo. We also have the history behind two outstanding coins: an Offa penny and an extremely fine and rare gold solidus researched by Peter Spencer. There is a field test on an entry level Viking machine the VK10+ plus we also share a productive XP Deus tutorial day when a unique Alfred penny was unearthed and the past part in Brian Read's Conservation techniques series. Plus of course much, much more!

Bob Matthews
Print MA
Bob is an artist and exhibition organiser whose work is held in public and private collections in Europe, Asia and the United States.
Bob was educated at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art & Design, Kent Institute of Art & Design and the Royal College of Art.
Previously he has held research positions at both the University of Gloucestershire and the Royal College of Art, specialising in the area and development of print technologies, as well as working directly with print archives and collections. He was also worked at other UK universities, including as Senior Tutor at the University for the Creative Arts, Canterbury.
Bob was the first British Council artist in residence for Singapore, culminating in an exhibition at the National Museum of Singapore 2011/12. As a curator he has organised exhibitions for Artary Galerie, Stuttgart; Castlefield Gallery, Manchester; Cell Project Space, London; Herbert Read Gallery, Canterbury; Wolverhampton City Art Gallery; the Royal College of Art; The Nunnery, London; the Bank of America, London and the Study Gallery of Modern Art, Dorset.
Art & curating
Studio Tan
Another circle round the Sun
Museum of Contemporary Art, Hangzhou
Ideas travel faster than light
Garden Ruin
Bob's research is involved in identifying and characterising the use and cultivation of the landscape by small communal groups and collectives. At present this research looks directly at material and sites within Germany. Artworks and curatorial projects are made in response to and in direct relation with the landscape in these environments.
Through an interdisciplinary approach Bob's work manifests itself in a variety of ways, from traditional art production utilizing printmaking, painting and sculpture to collaborative interventions leading to independent curatorial projects involving other artists.His practice focuses on the landscape and specifically the environments used and cultivation by utopian communities and collectives. More recently the research examining the various histories and formations of the commune has led unexpectedly to the extremities of large-scale continental migration and the sprawling construction of temporary refuge settlements. The contrast between the ideological commune model and the various formal and informal migrant camps could not be starker, yet the manifestations and residue of these sites has much in common.
An interest in the effects of sunlight on transitory objects found in and around the Mediterranean led to research into the pervasive qualities of ultraviolet light. Through practical experimentation this led to the development of a new 'pigmented' light-sensitive material. This has been used in the generation of a series of works for the solo exhibition Studio Tan, held in San Francisco at Gregory Lind Gallery in 2017. This process has also been used to develop the series of new life jacket works made for 'Gestures of Resistance' that were shown in Athens in 2017 as part of the wider Documenta legacy projects, through artist-led demonstrations and exhibitions in the city.
British Council Residency, Singapore 2011/12
Grant from British Council and Singapore International Foundation.
Studio Tan, Gregory Lind Gallery, San Francisco, 2017
Studio Tan is a solo exhibition that explores the prevalent and transformative qualities of ultraviolet light and its relationship to the threshold with the outside world. Works in this exhibition both mimic and utilise naturally occurring and artificial sources of ultraviolet, assisting the generation of absorbent images that consider the pervasive influence of light frequencies that are outside the human visible spectrum. New artworks depict physical thresholds between studio and subject, between nature and architecture, and draw from ideas raised in Walter Benjamin's The Arcades Project, and his use of the cautionary term Threshold Magic 'der Schwellenzauber'
Drawn initially from Matthews' interest in the chemical effects of sunrays he began to explore and develop a new light-sensitive pigment process combining aspects of colour theory with early photographic techniques. The resulting works on canvas utilise naturally occurring and artificial sources of ultraviolet in combination with painterly techniques, assisting the generation of absorbent images that consider the pervasive influence of light frequencies that are outside the human visible spectrum.
Gestures of Resistance, Romantso, Athens, 2017. Funded by the British Council, Documenta legacy project
Gestures of Resistance aims to respond to our current general mood of political anxiety and alienation by opening up socio-political critique in order to resist the palpable feeling of disempowerment. Rather than accepting the non-choice of the neoliberal setup of Greece or current right-wing politics both in America and Europe, the artists of Gestures of Resistance reflect on the current state of our political condition, our current housing situation, the state of education and art, liberalism, diversity and pluralism in this moment of historical crisis, whereby the state of today seems to have strong links to the state of the past.
The work made for this project, titled Still Life considers the scientific research term 'Flotsametrics' and reflects upon its relationship to the movement of currency and ideas, as well as the often tragic displacement and migration of people. The mixed media artworks are based on the form of life jackets, and specifically the crudely made and ineffective 'fake' life jackets that were given to fleeing migrants. As objects they are intended to function as paintings in the traditional sense, and as paintings to be worn.
Ideas travel faster than light, NIV Art Centre, Delhi, and Habitat Centre, Delhi, India, 2015–16
Curated by Jasone Miranda Bilbao
Ideas travel faster than light is an ongoing collaboration between artists working in India, Spain, the UK and the US. The project has two parts. In the first part nine artists based in London/Bilbao/LA were invited to submit proposals for new works together with instructions of how to make them and nine artists based in Delhi and Mumbai were invited to produce them according to their interpretation and understanding. The works were exhibited at the NIV Art Centre (Delhi) as a collaboration between the paired artists. The instructions were gathered in a publication accompanied by a text written by Mathew Poole. The second part of the project will swap directions and the artists who wrote the instructions in the first part will now make the work and vice versa.
The main idea of the project came up as a practical solution to the problem of how to transport works across long distances on a small budget. This became a matrix of ideas and things grew in response to the possibilities offered by that condition and situation. Since ideas have a level of materiality different to objects that occupy a physical space, they can be lighter cheaper and freer to move.
Ideas travel faster than light facilitates the transporting of ideas while extending them and re-contextualising them in a new context. The process of writing instructions for new works in one place then making them in another, roots their origin in between locations while activating a chain of events that embodies them of a history and a life after, reproducing the mesmerising relation of intimacy between the maker and its object. This has a strong sociological element since from the moment an artwork is transported from one country to another, mediated and re-interpreted by a different mindset, questions of intention and interpretation come to the surface.
Another Circle Round The Sun, Herbert Read Gallery, Canterbury, 2012
This project followed directly on from the residency in Singapore. The exhibition comprised of an installation that reflected on the temporality of materials and structures within the environment and considered the significant roll that time plays in the value and meaning of objects. Matthews is interested in how we might locate the artist or crafts-person within the collective and architectural projects that inspire him. In an examination of communal life and collective approaches to making, Matthews is searching for the individual within the larger group, and how they might be identifiable within this community by the traces, marks and motifs they leave behind.
Utopias, National Museum of Singapore, and Asia House, London, 2012
British Council Exchange Residency
This was a solo exhibition produced and funded by the British Council-Singapore International Foundation Artist-in-Residence Exchange Programme (AiRx). Focusing on how landscape is cultivated and subverted by cultural and fringe groups within Singapore, Matthews' research drew upon current architectural and horticultural manifestations both inside and outside the city. As the inaugural British Council artist-in-residence in Singapore, Matthews was the first contemporary British artist to take up this residency. Working directly from found materials and photographs, Matthews created appositional works that illustrate perspectives of the city and the jungle through digital drawings, videos, constructions, watercolours and relief prints. The project developed into a greater consideration of the relationship between the rapid growth of architecture and jungle, their coexistence, and expansive threshold.
A Sort of Night to the Mind, A Kind of Night for Our Thoughts: Illusion and Materiality in Contemporary Painting. Artary Gallery, Stuttgart, Germany. Arch 402 Gallery, London. Herbert Read Gallery, Canterbury. 2011. Curated by Bob Matthews and Moyra Derby
Matthews acted as co-curator of the international travelling exhibition A Sort of Night to the Mind, A Kind of Night for Our Thoughts: Illusion and Materiality in Contemporary Painting. The project emerged from specific interests concerning the 'materiality' of painting; formative research identified broad and contrasting approaches to surface application, media, materials and process. After its initial run at the Herbert Read Gallery, Canterbury, the exhibition toured to Arch 402 Gallery, London and to Artary Galerie, Stuttgart .
Critical developments in painting in the 20th century cultivated by Bauhaus artists Johannes Itten and Oskar Schlemmer underpinned the curatorial discourse of the exhibition and were a key factor in the show's tour to Germany in 2011. The exhibition identified a group comprising 23 UK-based contemporary practitioners who exemplify a current state of painting within the UK and whose practices overtly explore ideas of materiality and illusion. The exhibition included some of the UK's most celebrated contemporary painters, including Nigel Cooke, Varda Caivano, Phillip Allen and Phoebe Unwin.

My third and latest book published on tramp art with more the 600 color images. It contains historical images and introduces newly discovered artists who made tramp art, complete with their known biographies. Tramp art which was created from society's discard materials, primarily wooden cigar boxes and wooden crates, is the story of how the common man, unschooled in the arts took simple tools to carve a legacy from the heart. Engaging text tells the personal stories of theses tramp art creators. In a chapter named The Collectors Speak, collectors who cherish tramp art were given a forum to discuss their passion for the art form. Boxes, picture frames, miniature houses, and items of whimsy showcase the meticulous details of the art form. For anyone with a passion for folk art, this book will be a much treasured addition to their library.
In his second book on the subject, Tramp Art: Another Notch, Folk Art from the Heart, Wallach has captured the romance of these folk art objects made layer by layer, one notch at a time by untrained artists using simple tools and recycled materials. Tramp art was a democratic art, with artisans representing over 40 nationalities carving tramp art in America and was practiced throughout the world wherever men smoked cigars and the raw materials for their projects were available. Creating objects from the heart, the tramp artist was able to transform discarded wooden cigar boxes into pieces of utility and wonder. Never before has the subject been studied in such depth. Wallach brings a rich assemblage of the history of the art form through the study of the artists' lives and work. Wallach also dispels the misguided romantic mythologies long associated with tramp art and for the first time we are left with an accurate picture of whom these noble notchers were.
The origin of tramp art remains a mystery although it does seem to have been passed throughout the world as if it were a recipe passed from family to family and neighbor to neighbor. In this book Wallach chronicles both newly uncovered historic and contemporary makers with over 600 full color photographs and a value guide.
Tramp Art, One Notch at a Time is my first book and it is the first book to illustrate the many faces of the artists, the history, the materials and the aesthetic beauty of the work. It dispels the romantic myths long associated with this art form and gives the reader a more precise definition of what it feels and looks like.
The book contains over 400 color portraits of artifacts both functional and whimsical all made layer by layer, one notch at a time. Since its publication Clifford has tramped the world lecturing, curating, writing, and exhibiting tramp art gaining respect and admiration from the art world for tramp art.
Tramp Art, One Notch at a Time, is referred to as "The Bible of Tramp Art" by collectors when it was published in 1998.

Q: Is there an R function to prevent some lines of the code to be executed I would like to know if there is an R function that allows to prevent some lines of the code to be executed.
For instance, if this function exist and is called prevent, I could put on my code at line number 10 :
prevent(line12, line17)
and those line wouldn't be executed.
The application for me would pe to prevent some line which are in a loop to be executed, if a condition that I would test before going in the loop is not satisfyed.
It's a matter of optimization : I could test the condition inside the loop but I would rather test it before, since I already know wheter the condition is true or not.
Here is an example :
         Condition=T

         if (Condition){
           Dont execute line 17
         }

         for (i in 1:n){
line 17    Print("I'm happy")
         }

A: You could simply use an if statement:
condition <- T

for (i in 1:3) {
  if (condition) {
    cat("Execute this \n")
  }
}

A: you could just add an "#" before the code line you don't want to execute
# 2+2
2+2

You can do it for multiple lines with cmd+shift+c in studio in mac, there should be an Linux or windows equivalent

Cost of sanitary pads: Rotary Club donates menstrual cups to adolescent girls
The Rotary Club International as part of the measures to find an alternative for adolescent girls during their menstrual period has made available some menstrual cups in the wake of the rising cost of sanitary pads.
The club made the donation when it visited pupils of St Peter's Catholic school at Ngleshie Amanfro in the Ga South Municipal Assembly of the Greater Accra Region to educate them on the use of menstrual cups for a girl child who is of menstrual age.
Speaking in an interview with Class 91.3 FM's Central Regional correspondent, the Service Project Director of Rotary Club Accra, Madam Rotarian Dzifa Sogbe-Adranyi, mentioned that, the over one hundred menstrual cups donated to the girl child at the St Peter's Catholic school is an alternative for menstrual sanitary pads.
She further stated that the menstrual cup is more comfortable and hygienic as compared to sanitary pads.
"The price of sanitary pads today is giving girls a reason not to be punctual in school whenever they reach their menstrual circle.
As an alternative, menstrual cups could be used for 10 to 15 years without infection," she indicated.
The girls were taken through how to insert the menstrual cup during their monthly cycles.
Some of them expressed gratitude to the club for the education and the donation.
They promised to use the menstrual cup also

Postcard advertising the song from the TMBG Info Club
song name (She Was A) Hotel Detective
releases They Might Be Giants, Then: The Earlier Years, Selections From Then, Best Of The Early Years
first played June 26, 1987 (58 known performances)
sung by John Flansburgh
Vastly different from "She Was A Hotel Detective" (sans parentheses) and "(She Was A) Hotel Detective In The Future", the two "sequel" entries in the Hotel Detective Series.
Like "Don't Let's Start," the song's music video, directed by Adam Bernstein, uses the single mix of the song.
John Linnell: "The record company chipped in for John's hospital bills after he injured himself recording the guitar solo on our single 'Hotel Detective'. Now that we know his blood type, it makes performing the song a little easier." (Star Hits Magazine, 1987).
A hotel detective is a hired sleuth who monitors the security of a hotel and investigates various security or rule violations. In recent years, these tasks have been left for uniformed security staff employed by outside security agencies, but the occupation was romanticized by noir fiction authors like Raymond Chandler in the 1930s.
John Flansburgh on the guitar he plays in the video: "It was one of two custom builds made for Bo Diddley by a NY luthier right as he was coming back on the scene in the early 80s. It is NOT a copy but was not made by Bo himself (as were his 60s guitars) Pick-guard was unscrewed, flipped and taped on. It was borrowed through a collector for the shoot. Just had it for a day! What I do remember is that it was my first understanding that Gretsch guitars had been made in Brooklyn, and that the parts to the instrument were all salvaged 'new-old-stock' from that shuttered factory."[1]

'But it is one thing to read about dragons and another to meet them.'
— Ursula Le Guin
The Girl and the Seven Dragons of the Deep
Once upon a time there was a girl. A girl whose heart was weighed down with a heavy cargo of sadness. One day, she found herself on a cliff edge with her heart screaming in her throat.
The water was still. A jewelled sheet of glass. The sun teased out diamonds on its surface which blinded her momentarily. She blinked and peered into it hopefully, thumbing the pebbles in her blue jean pockets. She had picked the smoothest ones she could find. Eventually, she reached her arms over her head and bent her legs slowly, purposefully, feeling the muscles tauten and engage. Then all of a sudden she sprung into the air with a neat cursive flourish. A small crown of ripples formed around her as her lithe body sliced through the cool icy water. A murmur.
Then it was still again.
With a dissonant heartbeat she had unlocked the secrets to the horizon; the place where the sky meets the surface of the sea. She swam, tugging herself down through the fickle currents which taunted her and tried to push her away. Finally she reached the abyss, where all around her was thick and velvet with profundity. There was no more after this — she had found the end — and she gasped, clamouring for air as her lungs filled up with water. But there was none.
As she drifted, one sly little current came across her and carried her to a place where seven dragons breathed the fire of eternal life. They had lived for thousands of years these dragons, undisturbed and peaceful, nestled in an underwater cave. The current left her at the entrance to the cave where her body settled on the sandy surface and then the jittery little thing swam off, restless to be away.
When the dragons awoke and saw her they were afraid, for they knew she was a sign.
Still, they could not reject a gift from the sea, so they took her in and tended to her, breathing life into her lungs with their fiery breath. Though they knew that this life would be their end and the knowledge of this made them weep with anguish. When the girl awoke and found herself tightly coiled in the tail of a dragon she was afraid, but they were so overjoyed to see her alive that they fussed around her, bringing trinkets of emerald sea glass to match her eyes and cockle shells to lace around her pretty neck. Her fears left her and she rejoiced with them in the life that they had breathed into her.
She lived with the dragons for many contented years. She grew to love them and they grew to love her. More than anything though she longed to be like them; she thought her own stumpy limbs awkward and cumbersome. She especially admired their supple tails which could propel them across the sea bed with one flick. She would spend many lazy hours polishing their smooth glistening scales which shimmered like opals and combing their long golden whiskers with her fingers, all the while singing to them a haunting song of the sea which told the story they knew so well.
One day the time came that the current returned to reclaim its gift (they knew it would come), but the dragons couldn't relinquish her into its arms though it begged and solicited, using all of its powers of persuasion to beseech them to give her up. In the end they said their sad farewells and hugged her and went with the current in the place of the girl. The current wasn't choosy and it didn't hang around, scooping up its hefty prize and somersaulting away in one deft sinewed movement (for it had grown strong over the years).
The girl stood alone watching the magnificent creatures disappear into the abyss, one by one, until the very smallest dragon tussled and tugged and managed to struggle free for a brief moment, twisting its head around towards her for one last farewell. She reached her arms up, holding its muzzle in her hands, and gazed into its blazing auric eyes as they both wept for the life they had sacrificed. The dragon's hot tears mingled with her own and she bathed in their warm salty solace.
At last, the little dragon was dragged back by the querulous current and the girl found herself alone again. But in its last moments it was able to bequeath one last gift to her. The dragon knew how much the girl admired its strong muscular tail and glimmering scales; as it disappeared into the surface it give an almighty shudder which rocked the sea, causing all who lived there to roll and reel about wildly. Then it whipped its tail into a spin, gathering up two passing currents and smacking them off course. Each was convinced the other had provoked them and they lurched towards one another furiously, ready to attack (for currents are burly and fearsome). As they chased each other, full of rancour, they span around snapping at each others' heels faster and faster, creating a maelstrom which bore down into the centre of the ocean, towards the girl.
The girl was sucked into the vortex and as she too span — a giddy dervish — a cluster of shimmering dragon scales spiralled down through the water towards her like a blossom flurry caught on the wind. She saw them and laughed through her tears, reaching out her hands to touch them as they fell. Each one gleamed and shimmied with a luminescence which lit up the entire sea. The scales pressed against the whorl of her as she span, and span.
'Goodby fair maiden of the sea!' the little dragon rumbled out its last breath. And all the dragons roared in agreement, filling up the sea with their thunder.
At last the whirlpool released her, spitting her out onto the seabed where she lay, spent and exhausted. She remained there for several days, a shipwreck adorned with sea shells and silt until a slender crab, disguised as a rock, came across her and pinched her nose, mistaking it for some tasty morsel.
'Ouch!' she shouted loudly, annoyed. She had been exploring the watery depths of her dreams where she had found that she had access to things she had not known before: other worlds, new truths, ancient falsehoods. A rich, colourful scene like an underwater reef. She had explored the beauty of drowning. The seduction. The thick, opaque, shimmering allure of it. It all came back to her then, in the blurry gaps of consciousness: the rousing, the falling. She had felt a pleasant fog of sweetness blooming at the very edges of her skull. And in those shifting moments it was hard to tell what was real and what was fantasy.
It didn't matter; she was not to remain there (after all, she had been there before). She was awake and once more had to teach her heart to beat out a new rhythm.
She tried to bend her legs to propel herself upright but found that she could not; instead she slipped and skidded uselessly on the sand. When she looked down she discovered that her legs had fused into a tail: a glittering dragon's tail covered in thousands upon thousands of shining scales. She stared in awe, mesmerised by its scintillating brilliance. At first, she was scared. She could not believe the truth her eyes told her. Gradually though she grew braver and began tentatively to caress her new tail, exploring the thrill of its power with her fingers.
She marvelled at it: the way it twisted and turned and glistened; the way it tapered elegantly into a delicate quivering fin. She whipped it this way and that, testing its strength; writhing and tumbling; playfully batting the currents to and fro. Delighted, they responded to her teasing games, jostling with her and falling in love with her instantly (who wouldn't?). Then, on her request, they carried her back to the dragons' cave.
But when she arrived there and looked around the empty cave which had once been full of seven splendid, snorting dragons, she felt a shard of loneliness wedge in her heart. Try as she might, she couldn't shake it free. She found she could no longer bear to remain inside the cave so she swam out and up, up, up, through the sea, her new tail pulsating swiftly through the water. Up towards the horizon. The currents willed her along, gently buoying her upwards with chiffon-light fingers. When she broke the surface she gasped, struggling for breath. She thought for a moment that she might be suffocating, but then her rasping accordion lungs snapped and wheezed into life, squeezing out a small jet of water as they slowly found their familiar ebb and flow.
The cave narrowed out into a rock which pierced the sky like a jagged knife. The girl grabbed the rock face with her hands and yanked herself up with all of her force, pulling and heaving, until finally she reached the very tip of it. The soft flesh on her palms and belly was shredded into tattered red ribbons by its craggy hull; her glossy scales, fine as fingernails, snagged on its jutting knuckles and scattered confetti showers, spiralling a serpentine trail of stray sea treasures which illuminated the twisting distance — like smiling splinters of the moon — up to her rugged throne.
And to this day she reclines there still, queen of the horizon world, keeping watch for her friends. They call her the fair maiden of the sea with the dragon's tail and the currents are her willing servants. She sits, polishing her scales, combing her long golden hair with her fingers, singing her sad haunting song for the dragons, and for all who care to listen.

Infographic Shows How Remote Work Can Make Employees Happy
By Jennifer Parris
For a long time, employers thought that the best way to make their employees happy was to show their gratitude by giving up the green. After all, what worker would turn his nose up at some extra cash coming his way in the form of a raise, bonus, or promotion?
But as more and more studies are showing, it's not so much salary but work flexibility that makes an employee more productive, loyal, and yes, happy. Time Doctor took information from TINYpulse, an employee engagement company, and turned it into an infographic by TimeDoctor that shows, indeed, that remote employees are happier than their in-office colleagues.
Read on to learn about how remote work can make employees happy, and to view the full infographic.
Stats About Remote Work and Employee Happiness
Of the 509 U.S. employees surveyed for the study, all work remotely. Their responses were compared with those of over 200,000 employees spanning various types of working arrangements.
Not surprisingly, a staggering 91 percent of respondents said that they get more work done outside the office. This shows that work isn't location-dependent, particularly if that location is an office full of meetings, noise, and drama.
As for the reasons why workers prefer the remote work lifestyle (and the flexibility that comes with it), the majority (41 percent) claim that they enjoy the freedom of choosing how, when, and where to work, while 28 percent state that telecommuting helps with their work-life balance. Only eight percent were honest and admitted that they simply don't like working in an office!
Employers who are still stuck on the fence about letting their employees work remotely are often concerned that by not having them in the office all day they will slack off. But nothing could be further from the truth.
In fact, 7.88 out of 10 work a typical workweek (Monday through Friday, from nine to five). And of the remote workers surveyed, the majority (8.36 out of a scale of 10), the happiest employees earn between $75,000-$99,000 annually.
And if you think that remote employees want to have constant contact with their crew (and their boss), think again. Most workers (34 percent) would be happy with once a week communication, while 31 percent said that once daily would work for them.
Finally, the attitude of employees with three to five years of tenure was assessed. Remote workers reported higher satisfaction ratings (8.10 out of a scale from 1 to 10), while all workers ranked at 7.42 percent.
Remote workers are happiest when they can control their schedules and have a reduced amount of communication, so that they can focus on making work their priority and enjoy the flexibility that comes with remote work.

Progression in the Physician Assistant Program is contingent on continued mastery of program objectives, course content, and the demonstration of behaviors consistent with a health care professional. Students who fail a course or clinical rotation will be placed on academic probation and will be required to repeat that course/clinical rotation on a schedule determined by the Department with a resultant delay in graduation. Should the student fail the same course/clinical rotation a second time, immediate dismissal from the Program will occur and reapplication to the Program will not be allowed. Students failing a second, but different, course will appear before the Student Progress Committee for review. Students who fail to achieve the goals mapped out in a remediation plan will also appear before the Student Progress Committee for review.
Students who fail a PA Program course/clinical rotation or do not meet the Professional Expectations or Code of Student Conduct expectations will be placed on Academic Probation and notified in writing by the PA Program Director. In the written notification, the PA Program Director will specify the reason(s) for academic probation, the requirements for removal from academic probation and the deadline for completing these requirements.
Students who do not meet the defined progression standards will be subject to dismissal as defined in the didactic Academic Progression section. Students dismissed from the program may wish to review the appeals processes.
If the student is withdrawing, he or she must supply the Assistant Dean/PA Program Director with a letter of resignation.
If the student is being dismissed, the Chairperson of the Student Progress Committee should inform the PA Program Director of the dismissal as soon as possible and communicate with the physician assistant student who is being dismissed that a check-out is in order.
When the student completes all of these obligations, LMU-DCOM will then release student records upon the proper request. Dismissal and check-out forms are available in the LMU-DCOM Office of Admissions and Student Advancement.

"And now folks, introducing the 4th member of the Streicher Sisters" (crowd goes wild)…or at least that's how it went in my dream. For months now, all I kept reading about was how these three sisters, Jenn, Kristie, and Ashley Streicher are taking LA by storm via their insane makeup, brow, and hairstyling skills – check out their monthly column on Violet Grey.
Now I know what you're thinking – yes they are actually sisters, and no the name is not made up (contrary to my husband's popular belief). They are just that cool. So when I heard my favorite girl band (seriously, would it not make for a killer band name?) would be hosting an event at Nordstrom at The Grove, introducing the launch of Bobbi Brown's "Secrets of the Universe" – I sweet talked the hubs into watching the munchkin (aka chasing him around The Grove) while I got my fill of girl time.


Theres a new Doctor in time and space and shes coming to Comic-Con next month.
BBC America made it official this morning that Jodie Whittaker will be making her SDCC debut as the 13th Doctor Who during the July 19 – 22 fanboy and fangirl festival. If past years and past Time Lords as any indication, the panel will take place in the huge Hall H to fit all the Whovians in to cheer for the first female Doctor.
Whittaker will be joined on the panel by co-stars Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill, showrunner Chris Chibnall and EP Matt Strevens.
With a TARDIS resident appearance always a big deal at the San Diego shindig in the past several years, this appearance by the Broadchurch alum and crew will come with a sneak peek or two at the 11th season of the revived Who. The new 10-episode season is scheduled to premiere in the fall with an hourlong opener.
Whittaker made her actual Doctor Who debut in the final minutes of the 2017 Christmas special, when Peter Capaldis 12th Doctor regenerated – which has been the trick to get new actors in the role since William Hartnells first Doctor became the Patrick Troughton 2nd back in 1966.
Of course, Deadline will be on-site and on the streets of SDCC breaking the news – so stay tuned.


I sadly don't have any nice pictures of the packages or the unassembled or unpainted parts of these sets as I snuck this purchase past my Wife and secretly assembled and sprayed them in the dark of the night, while letting all the evidence of their "newness" vanish into a trashbag that I whisked away the next morning…….
The Kits come wrapped in foil and include a nice and detailed instruction sheet.
Micro Art Studio defnitely make some of the best instruction sheets for their products and I had no problem whatsoever assembling them according to the instruction sheet.
I couldn't see anything like a downloadable version of these instruction sheets, but maybe I just didn't find them.
Assembly of the wall segments is easy enough, the only real difficult parts being the sloped corner segments of the gate set, as well as the little bar used to make the door movable (which I was afraid would end up gluing the gate shut or breaking, but none of which happened).
Painting these walls was surprisingly easy, and the parts are very adaptable and sturdy.
I love little touches like the security cameras at the small wall gates, or the keypad to actually open the doors.
I would however have prefered for both sides of the actual gates to show the "STOP" (although I know that's harder to produce, and it makes sense to only see it from the direction you are driving from..) as the side without it just looks a bit bland in comparison.
And I would have liked to see slightly bigger free areas on the walls I think. I like the fact that it looks kind of hich techy, but Micro Art Studio has some incredibly awesome Wall Tattoos, and the fact that none of them actually fit those walls is a bit of a bummer.
All together however these kits are quite awesome, and I'll give them a 8.5/10.
I would recommend them for any Infinity Player that wants a huge Table seperator like walls, I would however recommend to buy at least both sets together, maybe even an additional set of straight walls, as the gates only come with sloped seperators that just aren't that useful when building a wall on most tables, and the Straight Pack alone doesn't have any doors in the wall, making them very hard to pass through.
Since my gaming table was still lacking a lot of scatter terrain, I finally decided to rid my local hobby shop of it's long waiting box of Cargo Crates….only to find out that just that day, only 2 hours before me, someone had actually bought it already! Luckily replacement was on it's way and a week later I finally managed to get my hands on this lovely box.
I am telling you this little story, because aparently Micro Art Studio themselves no longer offer this product on their Website, or maybe it's just all out at the time of this Review when I checked their site for it.
As the name suggests the box comes filled with 5 pieces of resin terrain. Each piece consists of several Crates stacked together in various ways.
Since the crates are of different sizes the end result is cover with various height which leads to interesting firelane situations when moving along a row of crates. One might think himself save behind the crates, only to notice that one of them is slightly lower, allowing for the enemy to see your silhouette as you walk past it.
Since every piece is a solid block or Resin, there is no assembly to be done with this product.
The crates were easy to paint and doing so in various colours gave a good result I think.
The Crates fit in perfectly with all sorts of other terrain, and I really look forward to playing with them!
I'll give this product a 8.5/10.
I would full heartedly recommend this to any Infinity Player that still needs some scatter terrain, it's sturdy, looks great and is very playable, but I think it could have been improved by adding some more Infinity related Logos or text to the boxes (although that obviously would have reduced it's utility for other games), and I think the set would have benefited well with at least some small boxes on their own so you could add them to the bigger boxes on different places, creating higher diversity if you'd buy more than one box (which I think I would have done would that have been the case).

What's the Rationale for the Microsoft-LinkedIn Merger?
By Brent Nyitray, CFA, MBA
Jun. 14 2016, Updated 10:04 a.m. ET
LinkedIn fits with Microsoft's emerging strategy
As we saw in the first part of the series, Microsoft (MSFT) is buying social networking giant LinkedIn (LNKD) in a $23.9 billion transaction including net cash on hand. LinkedIn will operate as a standalone entity within Microsoft. This transaction is part of Microsoft's push to have more cloud-based offerings. It wants to rely less on PCs. Microsoft envisions using LinkedIn's content with its digital assistant Cortana.
Management's comments
"The LinkedIn team has grown a fantastic business centered on conncting the world's professionals," according to Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella. "Together we can accelerate the growth of LinkedIn, as well as Microsoft Office 365 and Dynamics as we seek to empower every person and organization on the planet."
"Just as we have changed the way the world connects to opportunity, this relationship with Microsoft, and the combination of their cloud and LinkedIn's network, now gives us a chance to also change the way the world works," according to LinkedIn's CEO Jeff Weiner. "For the last 13 years, we've been uniquely positioned to connect professionals to make them more productive and successful, and I'm looking forward to leading our team through the next chapter of our story."
"Today is a re-founding moment for LinkedIn. I see incredible opportunity for our members and customers and look forward to supporting this new and combined business," said Reid Hoffman—LinkedIn's chairman of the board. "I fully support this transaction and the Board's decision to pursue it, and will vote my shares in accordance with their recommendation on it."
Merger arbitrage resources
Other important merger spreads include the deal between Cigna (CI) and Anthem (ANTM) and KLA-Tencor (KLAC) and Lam Research (LRCX). For a primer on risk arbitrage investing, read Merger Arbitrage Must-Knows: A Key Guide for Investors.

First things first this afternoon: I posted a review here at The Bits yesterday of John Sturges' 1969 spaceflight drama Marooned on all-region import Blu-ray from the good folks at Imprint Films. It's definitely worth tracking down for fans.

And I'm thrilled to report that it's absolutely spectacular. [Read on here...]

There are official discussions about bringing Robert Wise's Star Trek: The Motion Picture – DE to BD & 4K
Heads-up, folks. I'll have another post later today – I'm back in the office after a day at Comic-Con to appear on the Inglorious Treksperts panel there – and we have some good news for you therefrom.
First up, the panel was great. Mark A. Altman, Daren Dochterman, Ashley Edward Miller, Rob Burnett and I a blast talking about Star Trek: The Motion Picture, a movie near and dear to each of us, which turns 40 this year.
The panel room at the Con was absolutely packed – a good full house – which was awesome to see. We showed rare clips related to the film, told interesting stories, and made a lot of people (including ourselves) laugh.
You will all be able to hear the panel for yourselves in the next few weeks, as it will be released as an official Inglorious Treksperts podcast (listen here or wherever your great podcasts are found). [Read on here...]
