Interview with Luka Krizek : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Luka Krizek : Principle is Vodafone logo which graphically appears on the floor and it is transitioned into to 3D corian object dividing space into functional zones. It makes people to experience together with new technological products as well the remarkable experience of space. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Luka Krizek : Create a strong and unique corporate space with a new store concept, which will be the flagship to determine the future look of the mobile stores of the Telco company in Czech Republic. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Luka Krizek : Use this reference to try to catch another interesting project for another inernational corporation. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Luka Krizek : It was a collaboration with professionals from Vodafone and we looked for concept for about 3 months. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Luka Krizek : We were looking for a strong corporate identity to be inline with my previous design work for Vodafone. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Luka Krizek : All copyrights are owned by Vodafone. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Luka Krizek : I worked 7 years for Vodafone Czech Republic and in this time I created visual brand identity so in this case I only continued in the trend. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Luka Krizek : No, not in this case. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Luka Krizek : It is designed for Vodafone customers. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?.

Luka Krizek : Imagination, modeling skills and work with materials. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Luka Krizek : In the long term I'm trying to experiment in the field of architecture and design, but with the intention to create despite the diversity of projects a common style denominator of IO Studio. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Luka Krizek : We could not finish this work without a final 3D model created in the computer. And of course it would not work without specialists in corian DCH Sincolor company. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Luka Krizek : The subject is manufactured using thermoforming technology. It was therefore necessary to first prepare forms. They are made of MDF using 3D CNC machines. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Luka Krizek : I used data from my previous projects. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Luka Krizek : Perhaps the biggest challenge was the relatively large size of corian object. I had to find affective and economical solution and object was eventually made without inner steel structure. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Luka Krizek : I think that architecture can speak with a universal language and therefore can be understood abroad. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Luka Krizek : Every project we propose, we try to do as unique. Therefore, most of applied practice is new for us and we always discover something. .Frank Scott: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?. Luka Krizek : No, thanks for asking. .

SELECT YOUR STATE TO VIEW THE SPEEDING & TRAFFIC LAWS
North Carolina Speeding Laws
Getting a speeding ticket is an inconvenience, and paying it is usually quite expensive. However, many drivers receive a ticket and think they have no choice but to pay it. Others pay it because they want to move on with their life and don't want to bother with the hassle of a trial. However, if you've been ticketed for speeding in North Carolina, you should consider fighting your ticket in court. While it might seem like a hassle, it starts to become the obvious choice when you consider the long-term consequences and costs of paying your ticket. When you pay your ticket, you're pleading guilty, which means the moving violation is on your record. Not only will you have to pay the initial fee of the ticket, you'll also have to deal with points on your license, increased insurance rates, the cost of traffic school, and other consequences.
Fighting your ticket can help you eliminate the violation from your record, helping you avoid not only the cost of the ticket but the increased insurance rates and points against your license, as well. However, fighting your ticket successfully requires two things: understanding North Carolina speeding laws and hiring a qualified traffic attorney in North Carolina. The following information should help you with both.
Unique Features of North Carolina Driver's' Licenses
In North Carolina, you'll have to incur points against your license and driving record no matter what moving violation you're convicted of. A simple speeding ticket can be the start of an unfortunate set of events that could lead to your driver's license being suspended, restricted, or revoked altogether. In the state of North Carolina, a points system is in place. This system determines what the consequences will be for your moving violation depending on how many points you've accrued and what your ticket is for.
The Points System in North Carolina
In North Carolina, you accrue a certain amount of points for each moving violation. If you happen to get seven points against your license, the state of North Carolina will mandate that you enter a driving improvement clinic. If you accrue 12 points against your license within a three-year period, you could be facing license suspension. Three years is a long time, so just a few speeding tickets within that period of time could be all it takes to result in a driver's license suspension.
The length of your driver's license suspension depends on what you were stopped for, whether your license has ever been suspended before, and other surrounding circumstances. You could face a license suspension of anywhere from 60 days to a full year. However, when your driver's license is reinstated, it wipes the slate clean and you start over with zero points on your license. This isn't always the case in other states.
There are certain violations that will almost always result in immediate license suspension. These violations include racing another vehicle in a pre-planned race, traveling at speeds 75 miles per hour or higher, two instances of speeding at 15 miles per hour over the speed limit or more if your speed is 55 miles per hour or higher, receiving a DUI, and passing a stopped school bus.
North Carolina will allow you to complete courses at a driver improvement clinic in order to remove three points from your driver's license. However, you have to pay for the clinic yourself, and you have to make sure you go to a state-approved clinic.
Can You Fight a North Carolina Speeding Ticket?
Yes, and as you can see, it would be in your best interest to do so. All it takes is a few mistakes – or even one mistake – to lead to license suspension, increased insurance rates, driver improvement clinic costs, and other costly consequences. It's important to fight your speeding ticket and, if possible, get it removed from your record. Hiring a qualified North Carolina traffic attorney is your best bet when fighting your ticket. Only a qualified traffic lawyer in North Carolina will be able to look at your individual case and help you craft a defense.
Ticket Void has been working with drivers just like you for years. We help you find the best attorney to help you win your case. By filling out just a few pieces of information, we can help match you with the perfect North Carolina traffic attorney for your case. We'll email you the information, and your initial consultation is free. You have nothing to lose, so get started today, and exercise your right to fight.

Soccer sisterhood lives on
Camas adds third-place trophy to last year's state title
By Dan Trujillo | November 23, 2017 5:30 am | comments

Jazzlynn Paulson scored the first goal for Camas in the 42nd minute of the consolation finals against Kennedy Catholic Saturday. The Papermakers won 2-1 to finish in third place at the 4A state Final Four. Paulson set a new school record with 19 assists this season.
The Camas High School girls soccer team made another successful trip to the 4A Final Four Friday and Saturday, in Puyallup. The Papermakers finished in third place, adding to their state championship in 2016 and third-place trophy in 2015. (Post-Record file photos)
The love these Camas girls soccer players have for each other goes beyond any state championship or third-place finish.
"We're a sisterhood. We don't just say that. We mean it," said team captain Perri Belzer. "After every practice, we're thanking each other for being there because we all genuinely want to be there, and we want to be a family and we want to be together as one. I think that's a special thing."
Although the Papermakers dreamed of playing for another state title last weekend in Puyallup, Issaquah bested them 3-1 in the semifinals Friday. Less than 12 hours later, Camas came back to Sparks Stadium and defeated Kennedy Catholic 2-1 for third place.
"A lot of people don't want to play for third and fourth. We all went into it like, 'Let's play like it's the final,'" said junior forward Jazzlynn Paulson. "Let's get third. That's all we can do right now. Let's do it for the seniors. It's their last game. Why not have fun and enjoy the moment?"
Paulson scored a goal in the opening minutes of the second half to get Camas on the board. After assisting on Paulson's point, Callie Rheaume delivered an insurance goal of her own to give the Papermakers a 2-0 cushion.
"(Coach) Minder said we needed to attack at all costs," Rheaume said. "It's our last 40 minutes. Play as hard as you can and leave it all out on the field. That's what we tried to do."
Belzer, Kierstyn Heilbrun, Aliya Ponder and Falissitie DePasquale were happy to wrap up their high school careers with a victory. Belzer, Heilbrun and Ponder helped the CHS girls soccer program win a state championship in 2016 and finish third in 2015 and 2017.
"It's rare for people to be able to play on one Final Four team. The fact that we got to play on three is just amazing," Heilbrun said. "I feel really lucky. Every single team was so different, but we all came together and had a great experience every single time."
DePasquale collected 42 saves as the starting goalkeeper this season. Camas surrendered only one goal during league play and five in the playoffs.
"Just us trusting each other in the back. I think that helped a lot, instead of being stressed and doubting each other," DePasquale said.
"Getting back to the Final Four again this year, after replacing 10 seniors, shows just how much we have improved this year," she added. "I think it just made us even closer."
Although Belzer was unanimously voted as team captain coming into this season, each senior evolved into a leader on the field.
"We only had one captain, and that was Perri, but Minder expected all of us to do the same as Perri and be an example to everybody else," Ponder said.
"Minder always says, 'You're one team. How you all work together is going to determine how far you're going to get,'" she added. "All these friendships I've made over the last three years is the best thing I could have ever asked for."
The Papermakers set some new program records along the way. Maddie Kemp collected 41 goals and 13 assists. She broke Lisa Hogan's 2000 to 2003 career scoring record of 81 goals. Kemp has 88 goals, and she's just a junior. Paulson delivered 19 assists and nine goals. She broke the season assist record of 15, which was set by Hogan in 2003 and matched by Olivia Lovell in 2009. Jenna Efraimson finished the season with 13 goals and six assists. Carla Jooste added eight assists and four goals.
Belzer cherishes her freshman year because she got to play soccer with her sister, Maddy. She also never forgot that the team didn't make it to state that year.
"The last three years have exceeded my expectations for high school soccer," Belzer said. "I never would have imagined winning a state title and going to three Final Fours in the last four years. That's an accomplishment we should all be proud of."

November 1st to December 24th
Every year, the organization invites the public to give generously during the holidays, to collect donations and food items to prepare holiday baskets for Montrealers in need. Your support for Moisson Montréal is essential during the holiday season, as it is the busiest time of the year and the demand for emergency food aid is at its peak.
April 1 to April 30
First established in 2012 by Moisson Montréal, The Great Food Drive for Children has become an annual campain run in close collaboration with Moisson Rive-Sud, Moisson Laval and Moisson Estrie. Its primary objective is to raise awareness and to convey the serious health consequences food insecurity has on the 20,000 young children in the Greater Montreal area and the Eastern Townships.
July/ August
During summer, many families on the island of Montreal suddenly have fewer food resources available to them because they can no longer benefit from school food aid or various programs that suspend their activities during the summer season. Moisson Montreal's accredited partners see the demand for their support increase, and so our reserves empty quickly.
Our mission does not consist solely of collecting and distributing foodstuffs. In fact, we also carry out different types of food support projects. Various large-scale innovative projects are being developed to ensure better accessibility, quality and variety of food for the less fortunate population of Montreal.
Food Recovery Program in Supermarkets
In collaboration with the Marcelle and Jean Coutu Foundation
The Food Recovery Program in Supermarkets (FRPS) was created in October 2013. It is the first of its kind in Canada and offers a unique and sustainable solution to the problem of food insecurity and waste. Moisson Montréal has reached a province-wide agreement with the Metro, Super C, Provigo and Maxi grocery stores to recover of unsold foodstuffs, which will then be distributed to community organizations. Moisson Montréal will recover unsold foodstuffs that are still safe for consumption from supermarket partners.
There are five categories of foodstuffs recovered:
Meat and meat substitutes
Varied products
Why create this program?
Moisson Montréal is constantly seeking innovative and sustainable solutions to the problem of food insecurity and waste. We thus seized on this opportunity to offer our accredited organizations better services and to reduce food waste, including the pollution related to waste management. In addition, FRPS also generates cost savings for our organizations and supermarkets. Meat represented less than 1% of the foodstuffs that we distributed; yet, it is the item most sought by our organizations. Meat is a very costly food item and thus, less available to individuals with lower incomes.
Our major partner: Marcelle and Jean Coutu Foundation
The Foundation has become a major partner of the Food Recovery Program in Supermarkets in 2016 by donating $1.5 million, which will finance the program through to 2018. With this donation, the Foundation, which has contributed more than $3 million to our organization since 1991, will cover costs associated with training personnel, purchasing and maintaining refrigerated vehicles, buying freezers, building a test laboratory, hiring new drivers and more.

Feeding Our Future
In spite of studies on delays in growth, of the increased risks of illness and of underachievement at school caused by hunger, there are still over 2 million children in Canada suffering from undernourishment. An estimated 5.5 million Canadians are at risk of famine and 40% of children rely on food banks in Canada.
To help alleviate this problem, Sodexo established the Feeding Our Future program. Funded by the Sodexo Foundation, Feeding Our Future donates the necessary food and labour to provide summer lunches to children who are given subsidised meals during the school year. Moisson Montréal is proud to participate in this program since 2001. We provide and deliver close to 39,000 lunches to 916 young children from 12 day camps supported by our accredited community organizations. Moisson Montréal wishes to thank d'Olymel, the program main sponsor.
Pool resources of community organizations for group purchases
RAOC member organizations served by Moisson Montréal benefit from a co-op structure for the purchase of foodstuffs to add to their supply. United as one, these organizations will see their purchasing power increase and will achieve significant savings.
Fight Hunger Day
On October 8th 2015, we received hundreds of our partners at Centre St-Pierre à Montréal. Addressing the partner organizations of Moisson Montréal, this day was created to encourage meetings and discussions between organizations having food security of citizens at heart.
This day of reflexion allowed participants to attend conferences, panels and workshops on various topics and issues relatind to food aid and food security in an urban context.

Greek Finance Minister Sees No Effect from Turkish Crisis
By TNH Staff August 15, 2018
FILE - Greek Financial Minister Euclid Tsakalotos (AP Photo/Petros Giannakouris).
ATHENS – Contradicted by market volatility that saw the yield on Greek 10-year bonds rise as 326 billion euros ($369.21 billion) will end on Aug. 20 after more than eight years of austerity, Finance Minister Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos there won't be any damage from Turkey's worsening economic crisis that has markets anxious.
He repeated Prime Minister and Radical Left SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras' dashed claims that there will be a "clean exit" from the rescue packages although the country's creditors, the Troika of the European Union-European Central Bank-European Stability Mechanism (EU-ECB-ESM) and the Washington, D.C.-based International Monetary Fund (IMF) said the economy will need monitoring for years.
That's to prevent from backsliding on reforms the same way he reneged on anti-austerity promises and has he's trying to wiggle out of more pension cuts coming on Jan. 1, an election year, with his popularity falling after repeatedly breaking his word, hitting workers, pensioners and the poor with more crushing conditions while letting the rich, politicians and tax cheats escape.
Greek bond yields rose above 4 percent in recent days, as markets are worried that Turkey's financial problems could have wider implications for Europe but Tsakalotos waved off the worries as inconsequential.
In a statement to the Greek website Newpost, Tsakalotos said the government is monitoring developments in Turkey. "However, the problems of the Turkish economy will not affect the Greek economy's clean exit from the memoranda," he reportedly said in a statement, without explaining why Greece could be untouched by roiling markets at the same time it's trying to woo foreign investors scared off by an avalanche of tax hikes raising the corporate rate to 29 percent.
Citing a debt relief deal giving Greece more time to repay the loans at the same time the government has said the debt is unsustainable, he also noted that 9.5 billion euros ($10.76 billion) from the last installment from the loans, for 15 billion euros ($16.99 billion) is being set aside as a cash buffer.
That could carry Greece for as long as 22 months before making a full return to the markets as two previous test bonds were sold successfully but at interest rates more than three times higher than the bailouts before the relief deal.
"The Greek government's planning is not affected by short-term turmoil in the financial markets. On August 21, Greece turns the page, and this is final," he said.

La pralidoxima (cloruro de metilo de 2-piridina aldoxima) o 2-PAM, generalmente como sales de cloruro o yoduro, pertenece a una familia de compuestos llamados oximas que se unen a la acetilcolinesterasa inactivada por organofosforados. Se usa para tratar el envenenamiento por organofosforados junto con atropina y diazepam. Es un sólido blanco.

Síntesis

La Pralidoxima, 2-piridinaldoxima metilcloruro, se prepara tratando piridin-2-carboxaldeido con hidroxilamina. La piridin-2-aldoxima resultante se alkila con yoduro de metilo dando pralidoxima como la sal ioduro.

Mecanismo de acción

En una unión neuromuscular normal, la acetilcolina se une a los receptores nicotínicos y es liberada por las neuronas presinápticas en la hendidura sináptica. La unión de la acetilcolina al receptor induce un potencial de acción posterior que continúa a través de las células posganglionares o induce la contracción del músculo esquelético.

Para prevenir la desensibilización del receptor o la saturación de la sinapsis, una enzima llamada acetilcolinesterasa promueve la descomposición del neurotransmisor de acetilcolina. Al eliminar la acetilcolina, la sinapsis se lleva a una etapa en la que está lista para una mayor activación. La saturación de sinapsis ocurre cuando hay exceso de acetilcolina en la hendidura sináptica. En este caso, todos los receptores están ocupados, lo que inhibe la transmisión nerviosa. Los agentes que inhiben la acetilcolinesterasa causan un aumento de la acetilcolina en la hendidura sináptica.

Los organofosforados inhiben la colinesterasa mediante la fosforilación enzimática. La pralidoxima reacciona a la acetilcolinesterasa al eliminar el grupo fosforilo unido al grupo éster proteico. En esta reacción, tanto el organofosfato como la pralidoxima se inactivan mutuamente. Estos productos experimentan un metabolismo rápido, lo que lleva a la eliminación de organofosforados.

Si bien la eficacia de la atropina ha sido bien establecida, la experiencia clínica con pralidoxima ha generado dudas generalizadas sobre su eficacia en el tratamiento de la intoxicación por organofosforados.

La pradolixima a dosis superiores a la dosis recomendada es en sí misma un inhibidor de la colinesterasa y, por lo tanto, también puede producir los mismos síntomas que las toxinas mismas.

Experimental DSP based Audio Signal Processor GNASP1
The program GNASP1 is an experimental version of a DSP based audio signal processor. The program requires Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 or XP; it will not work with Windows 3.11 or DOS.
GNASP1 uses only standard Windows user controls; it therefore does not require special OCX or dynamic link libraries to be installed. As a consequence the installation is extremely simple and (hopefully) robust. The distribution archive is very small.
The program requires a sound card. A full duplex driver (i.e. a driver which allows simultaneous input and output) for this sound card must be installed. If you don't have a full duplex driver installed, the program will not work!
The program requires "sufficient" computing power. I use a 200 MHz Pentium processor.
The main features of the program may be summarized as:
The program takes its input from any sound source . This will normally be the output of a short wave receiver (line out) which is fed into the line input of the sound card.
A bunch of predefined FIR (finite impulse response) filters (high pass, low pass and band pass) are supplied to process (filter) the input. The processed input can be fed to the speakers connected to the sound card.
The unprocessed as well as the processed input can simultaneously be displayed in spectrum displays.
The processed input can be recorded in a file ("wav" format).
The current version of GNASP1 is 1.10.
In this version some errors of the previous version 1.00 are corrected.
The program GNASP1 may be used free of charge.
The package is distributed as a zip archive. Just extract the download file (gnasp110.zip) in an empty directory of your choice. That's all! You are now ready to start the program gnasp1.exe.
The Windows "Volume Control" program (sndvol32.exe) or a similar program must be used to choose the correct input ("line in") and output ("wave out") channel and set the record and playback levels.
Download GNASP1
If you have installed version 1.00 of GNASP1 on your system, just delete the whole contents of the installation directory and then proceed in the same way as described above.

On Saturday, May 19, 2018 at our Huntington's and Juvenile Huntington's disease convention in Orlando, Florida, WeHaveAFace Team USA (Crystal Acree Valvano, Director of Marketing/Community Relations) addressed the conference. Since obtaining our IRS 501(c)(3) Charity Status, WeHaveAFace has held over seventy-five community fundraising events.
Each of these events supports our Huntington's Disease Assistance Fund or our Juvenile Huntington's Disease Research Fund. Many organizations hold similar events for their cause: Walks, Marathons, Cocktails for the Cure, BINGO, Drag Queen BINGO, Golf Tournaments, Poker Tournaments, and the list of fundraising events goes on.
Most, if not all of you, have heard of, or watched the movie, "Magic Mike." Starring, Channing Tatum (as Mike), this movie made waves throughout international film box-offices. Consequently, it also created a "spark" to a network of professionals also known as "Chippendales" - (Established in 1979, Chippendales was the first all-male troupe to make a legitimate business performing through the quality of its masterful staging and meticulously challenging choreography). Many countries have their own brand-names, like Australia's "Men from Down Under," which is also a troupe of professional, and high-quality performers.
In 2017 a unique, and risqué (so I thought) opportunity came to the attention of WeHaveAFace.org. Madeline Visciano (Director of Community Events - WHAF), discovered something very interesting - something we were completely unaware of. Ms. Visciano was in the community searching for different ideas for fundraising events. Inadvertently, Madeline was discussing fundraising ideas with a very close friend. Surprisingly, her friend is the mother of a professional dance performer. Madeline's friend went on to say that her son's company (Rock Hard Revue: The Magic Mike Experience), demonstrates its connection with, and dedication for, their communities by holding fundraising benefits for many disease-oriented groups.
Madeline Visciano and James Valvano met with David Greenhouse (owner of Rock Hard Revue) to discuss their business model in detail. To our surprise, Mr. Greenhouse mentioned that his company has raised funds for nonprofit organizations, and offered to host a fundraising benefit for WeHaveAFace.org. I was no longer ignorant of the fact that companies such as Rock Hard Revue, indeed assisted community causes.
"My company has supported charities such as, Making Strides for Breast Cancer, Autism Speaks, Help and Hope, Walk MS, and WeHaveAFace.org. As a child I can remember my mother going into the city (New York) with her church group to feed the homeless every Saturday night. As an adult, I was employed in the entertainment industry and had endless opportunities to perform in benefits. At that time, AIDS was a very prevalent disease and had several friends affected by it. Doing something we love and being able to raise money to help others just seems like a no-brainer to me." - David Greenhouse (owner of Rock Hard Revue)
Before our first "Rock Hard Revue" event, WeHaveAFace.org and David Greenhouse were guests on 105.1, one of Orlando's most listened to radio stations. Following our interview, we held our first "Rock Hard Revue: The Magic Mike Experience" in Orlando, Florida. It was a huge success, as was the ability to educate each person who attended about Huntington's and Juvenile Huntington's disease. WeHaveAFace.org provided attendees with education, information, and resources about HD/JHD, and the crowd was ambitious to learn and pass information along to others. Mission accomplished! Moreover, on behalf of WeHaveAFace.org, the "Rock Hard Revue" event raised a significant amount of money to support our Huntington's Disease Assistance Fund.
"Sadly, there are many criticisms and stigmas involved. We understand that many are unaware of opportunities like this, but it is frustrating when people allow their ignorance to stop them from a really great opportunity to educate and fundraise at the same time." - Madeline Visicano, WHAF Director of Community Events.
On Friday, May 18, 2018, our incredible friends from the "Rock Hard Revue" surprised Erin Wade (our JHD Warrior from Canada) for her birthday. The moment was about and for Erin, and the attendees enjoyed the love they brought to her.
"I was so struck by the love and support they [Rock Hard Revue Team] bring to our community. They came to surprise Erin on their own time and their entire company is aware of what Huntington's and Juvenile Huntington's disease is. They are willing to make a difference! Not only are they professional performers, they also have hearts of gold!" - Cindy Moore, President of WHAF Canada, and Erin Wade's mother.
We are so very proud of our friendship with the entire crew of "Rock Hard Revue: The Magic Mike Experience," and look forward to yet another event with them in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, June 30th, to benefit our Huntington's and Juvenile Huntington's disease programs.
We are also very excited and proud that our friends from the "Rock Hard Revue: The Magic Mike Experience," were chosen to perform on season 13 of America's Got Talent! This is HUGE!
WeHaveAFace.org will continue to find unique and far-reaching opportunities to broaden global awareness of Huntington's and Juvenile Huntington's disease. It's in our DNA!

The Rise and Fall of a Friendship
Tucson Session
F, Scott Fitzgerald, already a popular author in America, first met Ernest Hemingway, a promising young writer, in April, 1925, at the Dingo Bar, rue Delambre in Paris over drinks. Their friendship was a roller-coaster relationship, fraught with differing emotions of fondness, respect, admiration, intimacy but also vanity, ego-gratification, and a powerful spirit of competition which lasted throughout the years up until Fitzgerald's early death in 1940.
Matthew J. Bruccoli, in his scholarly Fitzgerald and Hemingway: A Dangerous Friendship (1994), states: "The mortality rate of literary friendships is high. Writers tend to be bad risks as friends– probably much for the same reason they are bad matrimonial risks. They expend the best parts of themselves in their work. Moreover, literary ambition has a way of turning into literary competition."
In Jed Kiley's Hemingway: A Title Fight in Ten Rounds, he quotes F. Scott Fitzgerald as saying about Hemingway: "He is a great writer. If I didn't think so I wouldn't have tried to kill him….I was the champ and when I read his stuff I knew he had something. So I dropped a heavy glass skylight on his head at a drinking party. But you can't kill the guy. He's not human."
In his A Moveable Feast (1964), Hemingway writes about Fitzgerald's gradual decline: "I saw him rarely when he was sober, but when he was sober he was always pleasant and he still made jokes about himself. But when he was drunk he would usually come to find me and, drunk, he took almost as much pleasure interfering with my work as Zelda did interfering with his. This continued for years but, for years too, I had no more loyal friend than Scott when he was sober."

The Brighton and Sussex Medico-Chirurgical Society was founded in 1847 as a forum for medical education and to promote discussion between hospital doctors, general practitioners and medical students. The Society is referred to simply as "Med-Chi" (pronounced "med-ki") and is one of the oldest medical societies in England. Lectures normally take place at 7pm on the first thursday of the month in the main hall at the Audrey Emerton building (AEB), Royal Sussex County Hospital. A new president is appointed annually who sets the year's programme of diverse lectures and events. For further information, please see http://brightonmedchi.org.uk.
All BSMS students are automatically a member of the Society and invited to attend!
What opportunities are there to get more involved?
Med-Chi welcomes student involvement in the society. In addition to attending diverse educational and social events, BSMS students can present student research (e.g. IRP or intercalated degree) as part of a Med-Chi session. Students are involved as council members, assisting with publicity and supporting Med-Chi's collaboration with the BSMS widening participation programme. We are also active in the history of medicine and opportunities exist for BSMS students to research and publish material from our extensive archives.
Please note that the January meeting may not be the first Thursday and that there are normally no lectures in July, August & September. Instead, there is an annual summer social event, usually in June.

Home News BP's spilled oil didn't disappear; it sank
BP's spilled oil didn't disappear; it sank
by EarthTalk
Q: A friend of mine working on the Gulf Coast oil cleanup says that at least 50 percent of the loose oil is laying on the sea floor. What's the long-term prognosis of this?
A: It's true that oil from BP's Deepwater Horizon fiasco is still sticking to and covering parts of the sea floor for some 80 miles or more around the site of the now-capped well. In early September, researchers from the University of Georgia found oil 2 inches thick on the sea floor as far as 80 miles away from the source of the leak, with a layer of dead shrimp and other small animals under it.
"I expected to find oil on the sea floor," Samantha Joye, lead researcher for the University of Georgia's team of scientists studying the effects of the Deepwater Horizon spill, told reporters. "I didn't expect to find layers 2 inches thick. It's kind of like having a blizzard where the snow comes in and covers everything," Joye said.
But as recently as three months ago the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported finding no evidence of oil accumulating on the sea floor in the gulf. NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco told reporters then that the oil from the massive spill that never made it to the surface was dispersed naturally or chemically. She added that only about a quarter of the 200 million gallons of spilled oil remained in the gulf, the rest having "disappeared" or been contained or cleaned up.
But some researchers say NOAA misled the public by saying that much of the oil simply disappeared. Ian MacDonald, an oceanographer at Florida State University, says that initial reports from NOAA about how much oil remains in the gulf were too optimistic. The oil "did not disappear," he says. "It sank."
One of the reasons why so much oil may have sunk was because it was broken up into tiny droplets by chemical dispersants, making the oil so small that it wasn't buoyant enough to rise as would otherwise be expected. Also, as oil still in the water column ages it becomes more tar-like in a process called weathering, and as such becomes more likely to sink. And to make matters worse, oil on the sea floor takes longer to degrade than it would on the surface because of the colder temperatures down deep.
The new findings are particularly troubling because of the potential ripple effects the remaining oil could have on the wider ecosystem and industries that rely on a healthy marine environment. Marine biologists and environmentalists worry that the oil is doing significant harm to populations of tube worms, tiny crustaceans and mollusks, single-cell organisms and other underwater life forms that shape the building blocks of the marine food chain.
"Deep-sea animals, in general, tend to produce fewer offspring than shallower water animals, so if they are going to have a population impact, it may be more sensitive in deep water," reports Louisiana State University oceanographer Robert Carney. "There is also some evidence that deep-sea animals live longer than shallower water species, so the impact may stay around longer."

On Jan. 4 of last year, a local narcotics strike force conducted a raid on the Ogden, Utah, home of Matthew David Stewart at 8:40 p.m. The 12 officers were acting on a tip from Mr. Stewart's former girlfriend, who said that he was growing marijuana in his basement. Mr. Stewart awoke, naked, to the sound of a battering ram taking down his door. Thinking that he was being invaded by criminals, as he later claimed, he grabbed his 9-millimeter Beretta pistol.
The police found 16 small marijuana plants in Mr. Stewart's basement. There was no evidence that Mr. Stewart, a U.S. military veteran with no prior criminal record, was selling marijuana. Mr. Stewart's father said that his son suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and may have smoked the marijuana to self-medicate.
The acronym SWAT stands for Special Weapons and Tactics. Such police units are trained in methods similar to those used by the special forces in the military. They learn to break into homes with battering rams and to use incendiary devices called flashbang grenades, which are designed to blind and deafen anyone nearby. Their usual aim is to "clear" a building—that is, to remove any threats and distractions (including pets) and to subdue the occupants as quickly as possible.
The country's first official SWAT team started in the late 1960s in Los Angeles. By 1975, there were approximately 500 such units. Today, there are thousands. According to surveys conducted by the criminologist Peter Kraska of Eastern Kentucky University, just 13% of towns between 25,000 and 50,000 people had a SWAT team in 1983. By 2005, the figure was up to 80%.
The number of raids conducted by SWAT-like police units has grown accordingly. In the 1970s, there were just a few hundred a year; by the early 1980s, there were some 3,000 a year. In 2005 (the last year for which Dr. Kraska collected data), there were approximately 50,000 raids. Some federal agencies also now have their own SWAT teams, including NASA and the Department of the Interior.
The idea for the first SWAT team in Los Angeles arose during the domestic strife and civil unrest of the mid-1960s. Daryl Gates, then an inspector with the Los Angeles Police Department, had grown frustrated with his department's inability to respond effectively to incidents like the 1965 Watts riots. So his thoughts turned to the military. He was drawn in particular to Marine Special Forces and began to envision an elite group of police officers who could respond in a similar manner to dangerous domestic disturbances.
In 2006, 38-year-old optometrist Sal Culosi was shot and killed by a Fairfax County, Va., SWAT officer. The investigation began when an undercover detective overheard Mr. Culosi wagering on college football games with some buddies at a bar. The department sent a SWAT team after Mr. Culosi, who had no prior criminal record or any history of violence. As the SWAT team descended, one officer fired a single bullet that pierced Mr. Culosi's heart. The police say that the shot was an accident. Mr. Culosi's family suspects the officer saw Mr. Culosi reaching for his cellphone and thought he had a gun.
In 2010, the police department in New Haven, Conn., sent its SWAT team to raid a bar where police believed there was underage drinking. For sheer absurdity, it is hard to beat the 2006 story about the Tibetan monks who had overstayed their visas while visiting America on a peace mission. In Iowa, the hapless holy men were apprehended by a SWAT team in full gear.
In my own research, I have collected over 50 examples in which innocent people were killed in raids to enforce warrants for crimes that are either nonviolent or consensual (that is, crimes such as drug use or gambling, in which all parties participate voluntarily). These victims were bystanders, or the police later found no evidence of the crime for which the victim was being investigated. They include Katherine Johnston, a 92-year-old woman killed by an Atlanta narcotics team acting on a bad tip from an informant in 2006; Alberto Sepulveda, an 11-year-old accidentally shot by a California SWAT officer during a 2000 drug raid; and Eurie Stamps, killed in a 2011 raid on his home in Framingham, Mass., when an officer says his gun mistakenly discharged. Mr. Stamps wasn't a suspect in the investigation.
Consider today's police recruitment videos (widely available on YouTube), which often feature cops rappelling from helicopters, shooting big guns, kicking down doors and tackling suspects. Such campaigns embody an American policing culture that has become too isolated, confrontational and militaristic, and they tend to attract recruits for the wrong reasons.
If you browse online police discussion boards, or chat with younger cops today, you will often encounter some version of the phrase, "Whatever I need to do to get home safe." It is a sentiment that suggests that every interaction with a citizen may be the officer's last. Nor does it help when political leaders lend support to this militaristic self-image, as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg did in 2011 by declaring, "I have my own army in the NYPD—the seventh largest army in the world."
In this very different view of policing, cops walk beats, interact with citizens and consider themselves part of the neighborhoods they patrol—and therefore have a stake in those communities. It's all about a baton-twirling "Officer Friendly" rather than a Taser-toting RoboCop.

Major poll finds only 11% of Americans have confidence in the executive branch…5% in Congress!

The benefits of being an EU member. Greek survey finds 3 out of 4 jobless are at least 12 months without work
Perhaps the US government should stop focusing on regime change, drone strikes, and military adventures overseas, and start working to repair its standing with "we the people."
A major survey conducted by the independent research organisation NORC, at the University of Chicago, has revealed that Americans' confidence in all three branches of government is at record lows.
The 2014 General Social Survey finds only 23 percent of Americans have a great deal of confidence in the Supreme Court, 11 percent in the executive branch and 5 percent in Congress.
In an ominous sign of things to come, half of those polled have a great deal of confidence in the military…which may explain Washington's military answer for just about anything and everything.
Via the Associated Press…
The survey is conducted by the independent research organization NORC at the University of Chicago. Because of its long-running and comprehensive set of questions about the public, it is a highly regarded source of data about social trends. Data from the 2014 survey was released last week, and an analysis of its findings on confidence in institutions was conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the General Social Survey.
Five things to know about Americans' low confidence in the government and other institutions:
DROP IN SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENCY DRIVEN BY REPUBLICANS
The 11 percent who say they're confident in the presidency approaches a record low measured by the same survey in 1996, when just 10 percent said they had a great deal of confidence in the executive branch. The 44 percent who now say they have hardly any confidence at all is at a record high.
Historically, and not surprisingly, the survey has found that Democrats have more confidence in the executive branch when the sitting president is a Democrat, and Republicans have more confidence when the president is a Republican. In the 2014 survey, just 3 percent of Republicans say they have a lot of confidence in the presidency, down from a record high 45 percent who said so in 2002, when overall confidence in the presidency was also at the highest point the survey has measured, at 27 percent. Then, President George W. Bush was still riding a crest of support in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
But confidence among Democrats has dropped some in recent years, too, from 25 percent in 2010 to 18 percent in 2014.
Just 1 in 10 independents expressed a lot of confidence in the presidency in 2014.
SUPREME COURT CONFIDENCE FALLING ACROSS PARTY LINES
The 2014 survey finds that confidence in the Supreme Court has fallen among Democrats, Republicans and independents since 2012, driving confidence in the court to a 40-year low overall. The 26 percent of Democrats with a lot of confidence in the court is a record low in the history of the survey, while Republican confidence in the high court, at 22 percent, is also near an all-time low.
Independents are the least likely to have a great deal of confidence in the court, at 20 percent.
Overall, 2 in 10 say they have hardly any confidence in the court, a record high, while more than half have only some confidence.
NOBODY LIKES CONGRESS
If there's one issue than unites Americans, it's that hardly anyone has much confidence in Congress, the survey shows. Over half of Americans express hardly any confidence at all, while only 7 percent of Democrats, 5 percent of independents and 3 percent of Republicans have a great deal of confidence in Congress.
Younger Americans – those under 35 – are a bit more likely than older ones to express confidence in Congress, but even among that group only 10 percent say they have a lot of confidence in the legislative branch.
POOR MARKS FOR MEDIA, TOO
Confidence has decreased since the 1970s, when about a quarter of Americans expressed a great deal of confidence in the press. Now, a record low of 7 percent have a lot of confidence, while 44 percent have hardly any confidence at all.
Republicans are the least likely to express a lot of confidence in the press, at only 3 percent, but Democrats aren't far behind at 10 percent.
Only 1 in 10 has a lot of confidence in television, which is also near a record low.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS REBOUND BUT STILL LOW
Americans' confidence in banks and financial institutions reached an all-time low of 11 percent in 2010, but has rebounded slightly since then, with 15 percent now expressing a great deal of confidence. That's still far from the survey's all-time high of 42 percent in 1977.
Just 18 percent have a great deal of confidence in major companies, up a bit from 13 percent who said so in 2010 but down from 31 percent who said so in 1984.
Only 1 in 10 Americans has a lot of confidence in organized labor.
The General Social Survey is administered by NORC at the University of Chicago, with financing from the National Science Foundation, primarily using in-person interviewing. The GSS started in 1972 and completed its 30th round in 2014.
The typical sample size was 1,500 prior to 1994, but increased to 2,700-3,000 until 2008, and decreased to 2,000 for the most recent surveys. Resulting margins of error are between plus or minus 3.1 percentage points for the smaller sample sizes and plus or minus 2.2 percentage points for the larger sample sizes at the 95 percent confidence level. The 2014 survey was conducted March 31-Oct. 11, 2014, among 2,538 American adults. The GSS 1972-2014 Cumulative File was used to produce the statistics presented.

DAUGHTER OF THE KING
Going Beyond Church
NO RIGHTEOUSNESS, NO JUSTICE
"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before You" (Ps. 89:14).
I first heard the phrase "When the system fails, righteous men will rise up" while watching a TV series called Bosch. I have a passion for watching law and order TV programs. When I was younger I had thoughts of becoming a lawyer. Who knew that later in life I would discover that my destiny involved a prophetic call to justice. A watchman. A call that would become clearer after 20 years of ministry service, approximately twelve years of discipline and training in the prophetic, and confirmation by others in 2017. In the Seer, author James Goll describes a prophet or prophetess as a "spokesperson for God; one who hears the voice of the Holy Spirit and speaks or pens God's mind or counsel through a "divinely anointed manner." As I was growing in my prophetic gifting I noticed that I rarely prophesied over individuals in personal ministry. My sphere of operation leaned towards discerning the times and seasons, giving clarity to the overall direction and purpose of the Body of Christ and encouraging the church to rise up into full maturity. If you read my blog posts or visit my YouTube channel you'll see my passion is to see the Church rise up and fulfill God's purposes in the earth before Christ's return.
Anyhow, the phrase caught my attention because of the overwhelming chaos, political division among U.S. political parties. The Bible has much to say about injustice because God loves justice and righteousness (Ps. 37:28, Ps.11:7). God is the source of all authority. His throne is built on His righteous and just standards and executed from His throne.
When the system fails, righteous men will rise up.
-Quote from TV series Bosch
The God who loves people calls people to love. The same God who is just calls His people to do justice because righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne (Deut.16:20). Unfailing love and faithfulness goes before him. Scripture says, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn " (Prov. 29:2). The Message Bible translates it, "When good people run things, everyone is glad, but when the ruler is bad, everyone groans." When just leaders are in power, the citizens rejoice, but when evil people gain control, their joys become mourning."
Governments have a role within God's purposes. God gave mankind (men and women) the authority to lead nations. In doing so He holds them accountable for how they govern. God's law is the expression of His unchanging nature and righteousness. The governing authorities are considered to be God's servants (diakonos). The Greek word diakonos means one who executes the commands of another, esp. of a master, a servant, attendant, minister. 1 Christian political responsibility should be an expression of the love which is the fulfillment of the law (Matt. 5:17-20). There is no greater commandment than loving God and loving people (Mark 12:30-31). God did, through Christ, what the law could not enable man to do: he fulfilled the law's requirement (Rom 8:4).
In 2020, I shared that in this new era the church would be crossing the threshold into a new movement of righteousness. It's time for the Body of Christ to leave the mundane and venture out of their comfort zone of religion. It's time that Christians take a look at how conservative Christianity may have inadvertently created an climate of negativity through a doctrine or belief of of manifest destiny that has perverted God's image of humanity.
"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people" (Prov.14:34). The word righteousness in Proverbs 14:34 is not referring to an individual's right standing with God but to a nation that adheres to God's righteous standards as found in His moral law. While government is necessary, it doesn't say a specific political party or doctrine exalts a nation but righteousness and the adherence to God's righteous standards.
The Supreme court hearing for Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson was despicable. Some of the attacks on Judge Jackson were unfair, unrelenting, and beneath the dignity of a U.S. Senator and the United States. What is cause of this behavior? Is it because she's an African American woman or is it political staging? I don't know. It could be a little of both. This brings to mind the term framing as it relates to social sciences. According to Wikipedia, framing involves "social construction" of a social phenomenon – by mass media sources, political or social movements, political leaders, or other actors and organizations. One can view framing in communication as positive or negative – depending on the audience and what kind of information is being presented. In the context of politics or mass-media communication, a frame defines the packaging of an element of rhetoric in such a way as to encourage certain interpretations and to discourage others. For political purposes, framing often presents facts in such a way that implicates a problem that is in need of a solution. Members of political parties attempt to frame issues in a way that makes a solution favoring their own political leaning appear as the most appropriate course of action for the situation at hand."2 The attacks on Judge Jackson's judicial record clearly falls under this concept to give the impression that she is soft on crime. Scriptures reveals that the use of framing can be deceptive (1 Pet. 2:1, 22; 1 Pet. 3:10; Eph. 5:6).
I believe our first U.S. President's farewell speech provides some insight into the behavior we see today among political party leaders. In his farewell address former President George Washington warned against political infighting between political parties:
"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."3
Was Washington's admonition a prophetic warning alerting the American people against the negative impact that opposing political parties could have on the country. During his presidency he witnessed the rise of the Democratic-Republican party in opposition to the Federalists and worried that future political squabbles would undermine the concept of popular sovereignty in the United States. The doctrine in political theory that government is created by and subject to the will of the people. Our Constitution begins with this thought, 'We the people'. We should be concerned about the unrighteous behavior our political leaders on both sides of the aisle display in their interactions with others. God watches over nations. "He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; The rebellious shall not exalt themselves! Selah" (Ps. 66:7).
His eyes behold the nations – All nations; all people. He sees all their conduct. They can conceal nothing from him. They should, therefore, stand in awe. The wicked have much to fear from One who sees all that they do, and who has power to crush and destroy them. See Psalm 11:4: "The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD'S throne is in heaven; His eyes see, His eyelids test the sons of mankind."
In upcoming post, I'll talk more about the concept of manifest destiny, government leadership, white nationalism, conservative Christianity's role in politics, righteousness and justice as it relates to Biblical justice and nations. When we understand God's righteousness and justice from a Biblical perspective we can better understand the character of God. and His expectations for His people. God is not unjust and wishes that all will come to a place of repentance in their hearts.
May the grace, joy, and peace of God be yours through Jesus Christ our loving Lord. To Him be glory, now and forever.
Minister Dr. A. Francine Green

Why Protect the Potentino Valley?
A Unique Microclimate And Geography
Potentino lies in a sheltered valley farmed since Etruscan times. It is home to centuries-old olive trees and some early examples of the Sangiovese grape variety. This continuous tradition of cultivation still carries on now. Industrial farming has not affected the area and the landscape remains similar to when the castle was built. It lies below Monte Amiata, an extinct volcano that last erupted between 180,000 and 300,000 years ago, creating an exceptional terroir with a concentration of volcanic soils.
During the day, the valley is well ventilated by hot dry air drawn off the sea and coastal plains; at night, it is cooled by fresh, cool air coming down from the mountain. Its well-protected bowl-like shape acts like a crucible ensuring that the volcanic matter is gathered and blended. There is an abundant supply of water. It is known locally as 'La Conca D'Oro' – The Golden Basin – as it is so fertile.
With this mineral-rich, geologically new terrain and the extreme changes in temperature, Potentino is the ideal location to make fine, elegant wines and delicately flavoured olive oil and probably why the Etruscans settled here. It is a place where many local traditions and practices have survived, indicating a symbiosis based on observation and respect, sensibility and discipline. The valley is an example of good land management, which involves a delicate balance between human intervention and the surrounding micro-life. The soil has not been subjected to repeated use of chemical products so remains healthy unlike so much of the surrounding Tuscan farmland.
There is no monoculture or industrial crop-spraying in the valley, which results in an abundance of flora and fauna, including some rare species of bird, insect and plant life. A wide range of native varieties, including apple, pear, cherry, and quince grow alongside olive groves of the indigenous Olivastra Seggianese variety. Wild flowers and orchids fill the fields in early summer. These are all elements that create a healthy and vigorous ecosystem – extremely rare in this day and age. This is why we at the Potentino Valley Project (PVP) believe it should be saved.
Volunteering is at the heart of restoring the Potentino Valley
The Potentino Valley Project And Community Supported Agriculture
The creation of the PVP is a means of gathering support and creating a wider community to regenerate agricultural traditions around the Amiata. The idea grew out of movements across the globe responding to the expansion of the environmentally damaging industrialisation of agriculture: Agricultura Civica in Italy, Takai in Japan and Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs) all over the world.
The growth of CSAs in the last few decades reflects people's desire to support small farmers and producers who are not only committed to land stewardship but can also provide for their local communities. Along with movements like SlowFood and farm-to-table projects like Dan Barber's Blue Hill Farm, they are a practical solution to concerns about GM produce and industrialisation of food production, helping to increase environmental awareness and foster a greater mindfulness about where our food comes from.
These programs help sustain a more stable network of growers and producers for the future. The Potentino Valley Project is a mechanism for actively preserving the valley while providing people with Potentino Valley products – all of which have been made with a sensitivity to the surrounding ecosystem and its history.
Our Goal – to create a biodiversity 'fortress' for the future
The Potentino Valley Project (PVP) is designed to support the environment surrounding Castello di Potentino through conservation and agriculture. Land husbandry has been a part of Monte Amiata since Etruscan times. However, diminishing numbers of people are implementing these agricultural traditions – much of the fertile zone is being abandoned. Miraculously, the Valley has been sheltered from the impact of modern farming and the intensive use of chemicals. It continues to host extensive biodiversity and the landscape has not been significantly altered since medieval times. This is an exceptional situation in modern-day Tuscany.
Potentino has been pumping up the strength of this ecology by planting fruit trees and a sacred 'bosco' or wood which has a rare selection of indigenous trees. We are also increasing the bee presence with over 40 hives. A whole series of bat boxes have been placed along the valley and in the olive groves. We have been grazing sheep and geese in the fields. We are also studying the flora and fauna of the valley in order to document the presence of rare examples which will be published in a book as a guide to the valley and will create walks in the area focusing on interesting historical or natural features.
The PVP intends to preserve this unique place and the vestiges of its ancient heritage by making its produce and way of life more accessible and appreciable to a wider range of people. Education is a central PVP goal. Castello di Potentino has worked with young people through WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities On Organic Farms) for over 15 years, and will continue to give volunteers a chance to learn about farming through first-hand experience. About 5,000 volunteers in total have come to experience the magic of Potentino and continue to maintain a strong connection with the Valley to this day.
Be A Part Of The Project
By becoming a PVP member you will be helping to maintain traditions for future generations – traditions that have played an essential role in forming a habitat that has continuously nurtured human populations since pre-Etruscan times. Members will become part of a unique community that is connected by a sense of place, where the relationships between the climate, the earth, the vegetation, individual sensibility and the past come together in the enjoyment of local food and wine, castle life, and the actual earth where the produce comes from. We believe that all culture grows from a relationship with place. Place creates idiosyncratic cultural expressions – from agriculture and viticulture to art, music and design. In other words, it creates living.
Castello di Potentino is focused on establishing cultivation of fruits and vegetables that are appropriate for its particular environment – including some Amiata 'heirloom' varieties. Planting more trees and encouraging microlife.
When plots of land become available in the valley, we will use the proceeds from the PVP membership to acquire and revive them. This will ensure that this valuable ancient landscape becomes less vulnerable to construction.
The project also aims to regenerate interest and employment within the local community by setting up a viable model for economic and cultural sustainability. Using knowledge and resources around the Amiata, the PVP will support local craftsmanship so that it remains an important part of the social structure.
Other projects we are initiating include reintroducing the transumanza – the traditional migration of sheep from pasture to pasture bringing the flocks from the lowlands up to the mountains so that they could continue to graze. At Potentino we plan to bring in a flock of sheep to produce milk for cheese from the otherwise unused grass. Adopting a lamb or even adopting a bee hive with its colony will be an option for members. The articles from weaving and making felt from the wool from the flock that grazes on our pastures can also purchased in order to support our endeavours.
The PVP will also explore alternative energy sources for use in rural situations.

After 7 days of feeding my sour dough starter "took off" and was ready for baking. Even with a water bath set to 28 °C it took longer than expected. I started off with 100% hydration as this is convenient when you have to feed your starter frequently. Using only whole grain rye flour and water, I fed my starter every 12 hours (I've included details of the "feeding schedule" at the end of this post). This time interval is based on the growth cycle of yeast, where the yeast after an exponential growth phase reaches a plateau after 8-12 hours. This is the best time for feeding the starter.


Featured On Kim Kardashian West's App!
We have been super excited this week!
Not only has the summer officially started but our very own StylPro original featured on the Kim Kardashian West app on a preventing breakouts article!
The StylPro original is listed as one of the best tools to use to clean your makeup brushes … when your brushes are clean and dry in less than 30 seconds you can see why.
Failing to clean your makeup brushes leads to a build-up of old makeup, bacteria, dirt and dust which then gets smeared, buffed and blended into your skin day in, day out. Before you know it, your face has become a breeding ground to bacteria causing those breakouts we all hate. Your brushes could be harbouring harmful bacteria like staphylococcus, streptococcus and E. Coli … nice.
The bacteria stored in a used and unclean makeup brush can potentially be life threating. Trust us when we say his isn't a far fetched scare tactic, a women in Texas contracted a deadly bacterial infection from an dirty brush used on her eyebrows.
As stated in Kim Kardashian West's article your makeup brushes should be cleaned once a week. If your being totally honest with yourself, when did you last clean your makeup brushes? Not sure? you certainly aren't alone, a staggering 72% of women admit to never washing their makeup brushes.
If you are prone to break outs your makeup routine and dirty brushes could be blame and you could continue in the vicious cycle of reapplying makeup to cover your blemishes and making your skin look and feel even worse.
If you clean your tools regularly not only could it improve your skin but it will also improve the look of your makeup, giving you a flawless and smoother finish. What are you waiting for? Grab your StylPro device today and see the results for yourself.


Whether your concern is the I.R.S., property taxes or traffic enforcement, there are a couple of preliminary conditions which must he satisfied before all else. The first is repudiating the evidence of Consent to majority rule (voter registration) on the basis of incomplete disclosure (misrepresentation) and mistake. We will do that with a letter which will function as a Writ of Praecipe. Praecipe requires no seal of any "court," nor the signature of any "court officer" to make it valid. It is a simple Writ used by the sovereign to politely command a servant to perform a duty imposed by Law. The sovereign Elector handles all his affairs of Law with Writs and Affidavits. Writ of Praecipe will operate to take action on any public, elective officer so long as the duty commanded by the Writ is one which belongs to that office.
The letter will also function as a legal notice without citing any political statutes to insure there will be no factual basis for any future claim of "defective process." In case you haven't figured it out yet, disentangling yourself from this monster is somewhat like negotiating your way through a (legal) minefield. So don't change the way this letter is written.
Those of you who are not registered to vote and never have been obviously have no need for this letter but it won't hurt to have the information. Those of you who were previously registered to vote but let it lapse also need not bother with this letter, especially if it were in a different state. However, if you are the meticulous sort and want to make it certain, then go ahead and use the letter. Nothing is changed except you will have to put nunc pro tunc immediately above your signature. This is a Latin legal phrase which means, "now as (it should have been) then." You will also have to change the present tense reference to the voter registration to a past tense reference and give the last known year of registration. Those of you who are currently registered to vote, or were at the last election, and desire to "undo" that will need to customize this letter, adding your own name and particulars.
RE: Notice & Praecipe; Elector Status Change.
You will please take notice that I recently discovered that there are certain political liabilities which attach to the voter registration/roll which, if they had been fully disclosed to me at the time 1 was induced into the Consent Contract, would have dissuaded me from doing so. For that reason and on that basis, I am hereby repudiating the said Consent contract and rescinding my signature from and Declare void any and all forms, cards and Instruments which may evidence the said mistake.
You will also forthwith please remove my name from the voter roll for Oregon State and any political sub-division thereof as well as notify any and all interested parties of this Elector status change. My individual sovereign Consent is withdrawn and reserved until further notice. No answer to this instruction is required, but acknowledgement of compliance would be appreciated. In the event you are unable or unwilling to comply with this instruction, I shall alternatively require of you evidence of your Article VI Oath of Fidelity as well as the policy number and name and address of the underwriter of your Bond.
The c/o postal service address is so they don't mistake you for the political person mask using your name. That box or street number address belongs to the U.S. Postal Service, not to you. It is a kind of "station stop" number along a designated public right of way. I haven't met anyone yet who actually lives inside their mailbox, have you?
The use of "CF" on both ends of the zip code is strongly advised, but remains your option. It signifies that you regard the number as a constructive fraud and that your use of it is in no way to he taken as a Consent to or acknowledgement of it's validity In Law. It is a jurisdictional precaution that costs you nothing to take. The fact is, the zip code is what you might call a numerical designation for a precinct or suburb of Washington, District of Columbia. It is one of the legal devices that can be used to "prove" that you are subject to the purely political statutes of Congress. When you do not qualify your use of the zip code, you're helping Congress to extend and exercise political power over you that it doesn't otherwise have.
Our Constitution, at article I, Section 8, Clause 17, authorizes the exercise of absolute federal authority but only if you live in or on "Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, Dock-Yards, and other needful 'Buildings', and only if such 'Place' is purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be..." Unless you live in or on such a "Place", the use of the zip code is a fraudulent attempt to extend federal authority beyond Constitutional limits. Still, it's your choice. If you have some concern about your letter getting to the intended addressee, not to worry, it will get there. Can you imagine any public functionary or postal employee admitting to not knowing where the Seat of Government for the State is located?
The body of the letter requires little explanation. It suggests that you have been defrauded without actually saying so. If there is anything that is most likely to make a public official nervous, it is the idea that you might put a claim and lien against their bond. In most areas of the country, if this happens they become unbondable, and without that bond, they cannot perform any official function without personal liability. There may be a few who try saying that they are "bonded" by "the government". That is pure horse-pucky. It is common knowledge that "the government" is broke and incapable of "bonding" anyone, unless the "national debt" has been paid off or cancelled and nobody was told about it.
A copy of the letter is sent to the local county elections functionary (usually the County Clerk) as a courtesy so your name can he removed from the local poll and jury lists.
Your instructions are simple. You mail the originally signed letter to the Secretary of State, addressed as shown, using a Certificate of Mailing slip which can be used to evidence that you actually mailed it. If the letter is not returned to you (undelivered) in a reasonable amount of time, it is legally presumed "delivered". Do the same with the copy sent to the local elections functionary. Keep a third copy of the letter and the two Certificate of Mailing slips in your own files/records. Should it ever become necessary, that is your proof that you have met all the necessary criteria of withdrawing your general Consent to majority rule and re-claiming that aspect of your sovereign Elector status.
It doesn't matter if your letter is answered or not. If it is, put that in your files/records too. There may come a day when you will need that evidence, so don't be careless with that file/record. Think of it the same way you would an insurance policy.
Please note that "Certificate of Mailing" is not synonymous with "Certified Mail". Those are two different services offered by the postal service. If you are not familiar with the Certificate of Mailing and how it works, just ask your nearest postal counter person. S/he will be happy to explain it to you. This concludes the first preliminary step to be taken.
