While many resource dependent African countries can boast of large deposits of minerals as well as oil and gas, their economies are characterized with challenges including low growth, low GDP, high inflation, high budget deficits, low per capita income, corruption and conflicts among others. It is no longer news to say that resource rich nations have failed to translate these natural resources into much desired socio-economic development for the people. While myriad of factors can be blamed for this state of resource extraction, poor resource governance stands out without measure. This is also due to inadequate space to engage, share lessons and best practices among resource rich countries. The Africa Oil Governance Summit therefore is an attempt to provide this missing link by creating a platform where players in the industry will converge and deliberate on the best way to ensuring that extraction of resource translates into socio-economic growth and development.

One of us was active in the 1960s civil rights movement in Louisiana, and we regard this as the most effective social movement in our lifetimes to mobilize a majority of Americans not directly affected by a problem to empathize and correct egregious injustices toward a minority population. One of us is the son of a Nakba survivor, and the echoes of Jim Crow in Israel from its beginnings are unmistakable and haunting. The attitudes and language of racial supremacy and the violent, often sadistic suppression and exploitation of the dehumanized, disadvantaged population are nearly identical (For a striking example, see a YouTube video of hooded Israeli settlers attacking Palestinian farmers with clubs). With a half-century advantage in technological "progress," Israel conducts its more antiseptic lynchings with F-16s, helicopter gunships and remote-controlled aerial drones. Since the rest of the world is much better informed than Americans by the more honest world press, the U.S. alone supports Israel in the United Nations and elsewhere while pretending to be a neutral mediator. Thus, if Americans awaken and demand an end to our knee-jerk financial and military support and diplomatic protection, Israel will be forced to transform itself in the face of world condemnation and international sanctions. Our strategy therefore focuses on the education of Americans. But, to be effective, education must not be limited to the verbal, conceptual, cognitive level of consciousness. The MLK methods brought compelling visual images to the American public together with eloquent reminders of our collective ideals. Along with knowledge for the mind, MLK appealed to the heart and the conscience, to America's higher collective self, without appeal to financial or other self-interests. Without a collective identity worthy of respect, what are we as a nation? The same is true of Israel. Attempting to follow a similar strategy, we provide a weekly display in our city adjacent to a Saturday Market and a Farmers Market which includes (1) large, provocative signage in colloquial language, visible from the street to evoke interest, curiosity and gut reactions, (2) conspicuous photographic images of Gazan and Lebanese children slaughtered and dismembered by Israeli invasions with high-tech weaponry, inviting viewers to imagine these as our own children, (3) a comprehensive array of about 50 papers - some with pictures - by scholars, book authors, international lawyers and respected journalists detailing the Nakba reality vs the Exodus myth, the many documents of international law violated by Israel, the manipulations of the Israel Lobby, the defects of the 2-state model compared with the one-state model, the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, Palestinians' inalienable right of return, and other topics selected to counter current pro-Israel arguments. In addition, we show films and bring public speakers to the community, often in collaboration with Muslim and other student activist groups at a local major university. We do regular community television broadcasts, are ever-present to challenge public presentations by Israeli apologists, and seize opportunities to publish letters, columns and op-eds in three local newspapers of substantial circulation. And we are working to challenge the Israel lobby/network in its efforts to abort BDS campaigns in mainstream Christian churches and Palestinian human rights movements on univeristy campuses. We cannot hope to match the financial and social networking resources of Israel and its Lobby. But our advantage is having on our side the truths of history and international law, as well as natural human empathy with helpless victims of injustice and natural human outrage over theft, murder and deception.

[The drash below is written in memory of my grandmother, Joan Bluestein (z”l) who died 11 months ago today (on the Jewish calendar) and for whom we have now ended the 11 month period of daily kaddish.] This week’s Torah portion is Bo (Exodus 10:1-13:16) and includes the last few plagues. Our tradition teaches that one of the more difficult plagues was the ninth plague, the plague of darkness. Darkness surrounded the Egyptians, spreading so extensively that “They did not see one another, nor did any of them rise from their place….” (Exodus 10:23) The darkness halted regular life for the Egyptians. Not only did daily activities cease, but the people were unable to connect with one another. Physical sight impeded seeing the humanity within oneself and others. Rabbi Isaac Meir Alter (HaRIM) illuminates the potency of the darkness in his comment on verse 10:23: The worst darkness is that blindness in which one person will not ‘see another,’ refusing to look upon his misery and to help him. He who will not ‘see another’ will himself become incapable of ‘rising from his place;’ that is, of growth and development.* Darkness swallowed the ancient Egyptians, temporarily disconnecting them from their lives. Unable to truly those around them they feel deeper into the darkness until the end of the plague. Sometimes challenges can bring us into despair or darkness and we need others to see us and help us rise from that place. My grandmother strove every day to truly see the others in her world and bring us light. She did this for her parents, her brother (and his family), her husband, children, grandchildren, patients, co-workers, volunteers, friends and for herself. She faced challenges in her life, times where she had to find a source of light. Her strength, courage and faith helped her rise from those places. As a wife, mother, grandmother and businesswoman she took care of those around her with dedication that brimmed with love. As a dietician she provided her patients (and her family) with healthy food that took into account their individual needs. As a volunteer she brought light and her strong work ethic to WGUC, a second family of friends. As a Jew she was dedicated to the growth and development of a strong Jewish identity in her daughters (and granddaughters). A Classical Reform Jew from birth she loved the teachings, values, traditions and foods of her heritage. A quiet champion of hard work, family, Judaism, love and community she encouraged all around her to grow and develop, to see the potential within them and bring light into the world. I am lucky to have known her, called her grandma and be nourished by her. May she continue to inspire us to illuminate the world. *Source text = Hiddushei HaRIM as presented in Wellsprings of Torah: an Anthology of Biblical Commentaries, by Rabbi Alexander Zusia Friedman, translated by Gertrude Hirschler, New York:The Judaica Press, 1980, page 127.

Podstawy elektrostymulacji w blokadach nerwów obwodowych W celu lokalizacji nerwów obwodowych i splotów oraz depozycji środka miejscowo znieczulającego w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie nerwu lub kompartmencie zawierającym interesujące nas struktury nerwowe, na przestrzeni lat wykorzystywano różne techniki. Do najstarszej metody wykonywania blokad nerwów obwodowych należy technika oparta o punkty anatomiczne oraz parestezje. Wiąże się ona jednak z dość dużym ryzykiem powikłań neurologicznych związanych z mechanicznym uszkodzeniem struktur nerwowych oraz dużym odsetkiem niepowodzeń. Rozwój techniki dał możliwość dokładniejszej lokalizacji struktur nerwowych poprzez wykorzystanie stymulatorów nerwów a także w ostatnich latach ultrasonografii. Wprowadzenie USG zrewolucjonizowało świat anestezji regionalnej, nie mniej jednak nie spowodowało rezygnacji z wykorzystania neurostymulatora. Co więcej łączenie ze sobą techniki lokalizacji struktur nerwowych opartej o ultrasonografię oraz z użyciem stymulatora nerwów obwodowych (tzw. „dual guidence technique”), może przyczynić się do zwiększenia zarówno skuteczności jak i bezpieczeństwa wykonywanej blokady. Neurony, podobnie jak pozostałe komórki ludzkiego organizmu charakteryzują się obecnością przezbłonowego potencjału (różnicą potencjałów pomiędzy wnętrzem a powierzchnią błony komórkowej). Dla niepobudzonych komórek nerwowych oraz mięśniowych potencjał ten zwany też potencjałem spoczynkowym jest ujemny i waha się pomiędzy -65 a -90 mV. Powstanie potencjału spoczynkowego jest spowodowane przede wszystkim ruchem jonów potasu zgodnie z gradientem stężenia z wnętrza na zewnątrz błony komórkowej. Powoduje to pozostanie niewielkiego nadmiaru ładunków ujemnych po wewnętrznej stronie błony. Kiedy na komórkę nerwową zadziała bodziec dochodzi do gwałtownego napływu jonów sodowych do cytozolu co skutkuję zmianą potencjału przezbłonowego oraz depolaryzacją komórki. Jeśli bodziec jest wystarczająco silny i spowoduję, że potencjał komórki przekroczy wartość progową, dojdzie do propagacji fali depolaryzacji wzdłuż włókien nerwowych. Bodziec działający na komórkę nerwową, w celu wywołania skutecznej depolaryzacji, prócz odpowiedniej siły (napięcia) musi charakteryzować się także odpowiednim czasem trwania. Nawet bodziec o wartości progowej działający zbyt krótko na komórkę nie spowoduje powstania potencjału czynnościowego. Krzywą opisującą zależność między napięciem przyłożonym do włókna nerwowego (oś Y), a czasem potrzebnym do zainicjowania potencjału czynnościowego (oś X) nazywamy krzywą pobudliwości włókien nerwowych. Przykładając coraz większe napięcie, czas, w którym obserwuje się początek reakcji (reakcja w postaci potencjału czynnościowego) jest krótszy. Krzywa pobudliwości ma przebieg podobny do wykresu funkcji y=1/x czyli przybiera kształt hiperboli. Z krzywą łączą się trzy ważne pojęcia: - Czas użyteczny Czas użyteczny to najkrótszy czas potrzebny do pobudzenia włókna nerwowego za pomocą maksymalnego bodźca. Reobaza to najniższe natężenie prądu, którym zostaje wywołany potencjał czynnościowy. Chronaksja to czas, w którym nastąpi pobudzenie włókna, jeżeli przyłożone zostanie natężenie dwukrotnie większe od reobazy. Chronaksja służy do określania stopnia pobudliwości włókien nerwowych (w zależności od rodzaju włókna waha się w przedziale 0,1-0,5ms). Czas chronaksji jest różny dla różnych rodzajów włókien nerwowych i zależy od ich pobudliwości oraz okresów refrakcji. „Szybkie” włókna nerwowe takie jak włókna motoryczne Aα charakteryzują się krótszym czasem chronaksji w porównaniu do „wolno” przewodzących włókien czuciowych typu Aδ bądź bezmielinowych włókien typu C. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc włókna ruchowe mają krótszy czas chronaksji w porównaniu do włókien czuciowych. Wynika z tego fakt, iż nie można wystymulować włókien czuciowych używając prądu o czasie chronaksji odpowiednim do stymulacji włókien ruchowych. W przełożeniu na praktykę znaczy to, iż w wywołując odpowiedź ruchową (stymulując włókna ruchowe) pacjent nie odczuwa bólu. Natężenie prądu pomiędzy 0,2 – 0,5 mA, które daje odpowiedź ruchową, uważane jest za wartość odpowiednią do wykonania skutecznej blokady. Należy jednak pamiętać, iż wartość prądu stymulacji nie jest bezpośrednim indykatorem wskazującym na odległość igła-nerw. Można łatwo to zaobserwować wykorzystując USG: lokalizując igłę pod kontrolą wzroku w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie nerwu, niejednokrotnie w celu jego wystymulowania, konieczne jest użycie dużo wyższych wartości prądu, nawet powyżej 1 mA. Wartość prądu stymulacji < 0,2 mA może świadczyć o śródnerwowym położeniu końcówki igły i najczęściej jest związane z dużym oporem oraz bólem podczas iniekcji LMZ. Obecnie dostępne na rynku stymulatory nerwów są generatorami prądu stałego, znaczy to, iż prąd przepływający pomiędzy anodą a katodą jest stały, niezależnie od impedancji tkanek. W obwodzie elektrycznym katodę (biegun ujemny) stanowi igła, anodę (biegun dodatni) – elektroda przyklejona na ciele pacjenta. Najczęściej dostępne na rynku stymulatory generują prąd o natężeniu do 5 mA, krótkim czasie trwania impulsu (od 0,05 -1 ms) oraz częstotliwości 1 -2 Hz. W celu zapewnienia komfortu pacjentowi należy używać jak najniższych początkowych wartości natężenia prądu stymulacji: nie więcej niż 1 mA dla blokad powierzchownych oraz 2 mA (blokady głębokie) oraz jak najniższego czasu trwania impulsu ( optymalnie 0,1 ms – dla nerwów mieszanych, 0,3 dla nerwów czuciowych). Natomiast najbardziej optymalna częstotliwość to 2 Hz. Niekiedy konieczne jest użycie wyższych wartości prądu stymulacji 1,5 – 3 mA (dla głębokich blokad takich jak psoas compartment block), nie należy jednak przekraczać wartości 5 mA. Przy użyciu natężeń > 1,5 mA często obserwujemy bezpośrednią stymulację mięśni, przez które przechodzi igła, takie natężenia powodować mogą także dyskomfort u pacjenta. Stymulatory z opcją SENSe (Sequential Electrical Nerve Stimulation) Standardowe stymulatory generują prąd stymulacji o stałym czasie trwania impulsu (najczęściej 0,1 ms) oraz stałej częstotliwości (1 lub 2 Hz). Często jednak spotykamy się z problemem, że wygenerowana odpowiedź ruchowa zanika podczas niewielkich ruchów igłą wykonywanych w celu optymalizacji jej położenia. Technologia SENSe polega na generowaniu dodatkowego dłuższego impulsu (1,0 ms) poprzedzonego dwoma standardowymi impulsami (0,1 ms ). W tym przypadku częstotliwość generowanych impulsów wynosi 3 Hz. Obecność dodatkowego dłuższego impulsu daje możliwość wygenerowania odpowiedzi ruchowej dużo wcześniej niż przy użyciu standardowych stymulatorów oraz optymalizacji położenia igły bez utraty odpowiedzi ruchowej. Dodatkową zaletą jest określenie odległości igła – nerw na podstawie ilości wygenerowanych odpowiedzi ruchowych (1 pobudzenie – zbyt duża odległość igła-nerw, 3 pobudzenia – igłą w bezpośredniej okolicy nerwu). Przezskórna lokalizacja nerwów Na rynku dostępne są także stymulatory dające możliwość przezskórnego mapowania nerwów obwodowych za pomocą specjalnych penów. Pozwalają one na określenie najbardziej odpowiedniego miejsca wprowadzenia igły, w dobie USG wydają się być mało użyteczne. Pomocne jednak bywają w trakcie nauki oraz treningów. Igły do stymulacji Obecnie wykorzystywane są wyłącznie igły całkowicie izolowane (izolowana jest nasadka oraz ostrze poza końcówką) w celu uniknięcia rozproszenia prądu stymulacji. Dostępne są także zestawy do ciągłych blokad nerwów obwodowych dające możliwość stymulacji nerwu przy użyciu izolowanego cewnika (tzw. stimulating cathrters, niedostępne w Polsce). Technika wykonania blokady przy użyciu stymulatora nerwów: - Wybrać ustawienia stymulatora: natężenie 1-2 mA, czas 0,1 ms, częstotliwość 2 Hz. - Podłączyć igłę do bieguna ujemnego stymulatora. - Biegun dodatni czyli anodę podłączyć do pacjenta z wykorzystaniem elektrody EKG (wcześniej dobrze odtłuścić skórę). - Podłączyć strzykawkę z LMZ do wężyka igły i wypełnić igłę. - O prawidłowym podłączeniu stymulatora i zamknięciu obwodu informuje nas najczęściej pojawienie się świecącej diody bądź charakterystycznego dźwięku (w zależności od typu aparatu). - Wykorzystując technikę opartą o punkty anatomiczne wprowadzamy igłę do czasu pojawienia się odpowiedzi ruchowej. - Zmniejszamy natężenie prądu do czasu zaniku stymulacji. - Staramy się zlokalizować igłę tak aby najmniejszy prąd stymulacji wywołujący odpowiedź mieścił się w granicach 0,2 – 0,5 mA. - Po prawidłowej lokalizacji struktury nerwowej wykonujemy próbę aspiracji oraz podajemy odpowiednią objętość środka miejscowo znieczulającego nie zmieniając pozycji igły. - Unikamy podawania LMZ pod dużym ciśnieniem, przy prądzie stymulacji < 0,2 mA oraz w trakcie gdy pacjent zgłasza ból w trakcie iniekcji. - Odpowiedź ruchowa najczęściej znika już po podaniu pierwszych kilku mililitrów środka miejscowo znieczulającego. Jest to zjawisko zwane jako „Raj test”. Początkowo myślano, iż jest spowodowane odepchnięciem nerwu przez podawaną substancję od końcówki igły. Zaobserwowano jednak, iż to zjawisko nie powstaje kiedy zamiast LMZ bądź roztworu chlorku sodu podawana jest woda. Mechanizm powstawania tego zjawiska jest dość prosty, otóż „sól fizjologiczna” jak i środki miejscowo znieczulające są roztworami elektrolitowymi, przez które przewodzone są ładunki elektryczne, co powoduje ich rozproszenie i co za tym idzie konieczność użycia większego natężenia prądu w celu uzyskania odpowiedzi ruchowej. - Przy wykorzystaniu USG (dual guidance technique) stymulator nerwów bywa pomocny w celu potwierdzenia czy dana struktura widziana w obrazie ultrasonograficznym jest rzeczywiście strukturą nerwową, pozwala także ocenić odległość igła-nerw a także zmniejszyć ryzyko śródnerwowego podania LMZ (szczególnie gdy nie udaje się nam uwidocznić igły na całym jej przebiegu). - Odpowiedź ruchowa przy natężeniu > 0,5 mA – koniec igły najczęściej zbyt daleko od struktury nerwowej (wykonanie blokady najczęściej skutkuje niepowodzeniem). - Odpowiedź ruchowa przy natężeniu 0,2 – 0,5 mA (0,1 ms) – optymalnie (wysoki odsetek skuteczności blokady). - Odpowiedź ruchowa przy natężeniu < 0,2 mA – duże ryzyko śródnerwowej depozycji LMZ oraz uszkodzenia nerwu. - Optymalny czas trwania impulsu – 0,1 ms. U pacjentów z zaburzeniami neurologicznymi pod postacią polineuropatii (np. pacjenci z cukrzycą) uzyskanie odpowiedzi ruchowej przy użyciu standardowej wartości czasu trwania impulsu (0,1 ms), może być niezmiernie trudne. W takim przypadku warto zwiększyć czas trwania impulsu do wartości 0,3 – 1 mA. - Optymalna częstotliwość – 2 Hz.

“I have tried all my life to run away from the Nordic tradition. But I realize that it is difficult to run away from yourself.” Sverre Fehn in A+U, 1999 In an interview in the January 1964 edition of Playboy magazine, Vladimir Nabokov was asked about his identity. He replied, “I am an American writer, born in Russia and educated in England, where I studied French literature, before spending fifteen years in Germany.”1 It is a playful response to our shared condition within a truly global world. As the question of “where one is from” becomes more and more complicated to answer, so too does the identity of architecture. It is not unusual today for a project in Dubai, for example, to be designed by an architect born in Iraq, trained in London and now teaching in Vienna. Typically, such a building is designed by one office, while yet another carries out working drawings and construction administration. The article you are now reading is printed in a journal named specifically as The “Norwegian” Review of Architecture. Though the journal also publishes articles regarding built work from other nations and cultures, the focus is clearly on architecture constructed in Norway or by Norwegians and not, for example, “concrete” architecture, or “colorful” architecture, or “contemporary” architecture. So what might it mean to be a Norwegian architect or to make Norwegian architecture? In the long (Nordic) shadow of Christian Norberg-Schulz, this is still a loaded question. The program of a national pavilion locates this issue squarely in architectural terms. The Nordic Pavilion for the Venice Biennale (1958-1962), designed by Sverre Fehn to represent Sweden, Finland, and Norway, is a project that one can presume deals in some way with the issue of a Nordic identity. Though much has been written – specifically in this journal – about the pavilion and the Pritzker Prize winning architect, few authors have approached it through the lens of storytelling. This absence is curious, because in many interviews and articles, Fehn makes an analogy between building and storytelling, and between materials and language.2 "Though much has been written – specifically in this journal – about the pavilion and the Pritzker Prize winning architect, few authors have approached it through the lens of storytelling." I propose that the two issues – identity and storytelling – are indeed connected, and in this essay I will explore the nature of an architectural identity through storytelling. To do so, I will refer to the conclusion of Richard Kearney’s wonderful essay, On Stories. In the text, Kearney responds to the ever-present call for the death of storytelling by invoking five summary headings drawn from various models of narrative theory: plot (mythos), re-creation (mimesis), release (catharsis), wisdom (phronesis), and ethics (ethos). Though Fehn does not specifically name these themes in discussions of his projects, it is my wager that the same topics apply to and enrich an understanding of his work and, more specifically, the issues of architecture and identity. 1. PLOT (mythos) All stories, according to Kearney, are situated and told in time. Kearney references Aristotle to develop the meaning of plot (mythos) to include a telling, a fable or fantasy, and a crafted structure. Dostoevsky’s White Nights, for example, could not take place in a city near the equator where the summer nights are dark, nor could we know at the beginning that the unnamed protagonist will end the story waiting alone on a bench. Kearney relates this understanding of plot to the making of our own lives. A narrative marks, organizes, and clarifies our experience from when we first begin to speak until we die. This structure, however, is not an a-priori condition imposed upon us; like an author, we are active in organizing and naming our lives. Kearney refers to the philosopher Paul Ricoeur who describes the ability make the story of our lives into an understandable whole as the “synthesis of the heterogeneous”. This is also true for architecture, and certainly true for Fehn, working in Venice. Fehn was given a site in the public gardens between the pavilions for the United States and Denmark on the secondary axis of Viale Trento. The gardens present an unusual sort of urbanism: each of the pavilions is national, the program of each is only for display, all of the buildings sit unused for most of the year, the entire site is within a large park, and there are no full-time residents. From these pre-existing conditions, Fehn has designed a deceptively simple project. The pavilion burrows into the slope of the southeast corner. The opposite walls, on the north and west side, were intended to be open, allowing the pre-existing circulation to continue through the building and exhibits. In the final design, both facades remain operable, with the exception of a stair on the southern end of the west wall. This stair houses a small storage room and gives access to the rear of the site. Large sliding glass walls are set back one bay from the edge of the roof overhang, that with the help of translucent fiberglass draped between the roof joists, keeps the rain out. The walls are capped by an iconic roof structure of thinly articulated concrete joists. Running perpendicular and set on top of each other, the roof structure blocks any direct light from reaching the floor. Interruptions in the grid allow the existing trees to extend through the roof canopy. Seen in elevation, the rhythm of the roof matches the pattern of the triglyphs on the façade of the neighboring pavilion for the United States. Fehn has synthesized an assemblage of existing heterogeneous elements: circulation, trees, topography, weather, context, and natural light into a coherent project to display art from the Nordic counties. The project is well situated and could not be placed anywhere else and work in the same way. But how is this plot, this narrative, constructed and is it different from Fehn’s other work? To respond to this, I will introduce Kearney’s next topic. 2. RE-CREATION (mimesis) The second topic introduced by Kearney is re-creation, named also as mimesis. This is not a passive imitation of reality, or worse, kitsch. Rather, it is an imaginative re-description that captures the real meaning of our lives. Kearney again builds upon the narrative theory of Paul Ricoeur who discussed the re-telling of our lives through a circle of triple mimesis: the pre-figuring of our life as it seeks to be told, con-figuring of the text in the act of telling (described above as plotting), and re-figuring of our existence as we return from narrative to go from text to action. When asked how he begins a project, Fehn replied “By falling asleep – dreaming about the theme and the site in an unrealistic way and from that point I begin to gather all information and finally put the story together”.3 In doing so, Fehn moves from the story (text), to making architecture (action). So, to ask again, what is the story that Fehn tells us? How can we read this building? Fehn won the competition to design the pavilion in Venice after completion of the Norwegian Pavilion in Brussels. In many ways the project in Venice echoes some of the same issues raised by its Brussels counterpart. Both are defined by an articulated roof plane, both were originally intended to be produced off-site and then assembled in-situ, both define rooms with a minimum of enclosed walls, both blur the distinctions between interior and exterior, and both rely on the site for clues to organize the projects. However, the projects are clearly distinct from each other. The concrete of the roof joists has been mixed with the typical creamy white limestone of Venice to offer a light that is definite, but familiar. Due to cost issues, the project in Venice was constructed in-situ. Existing trees and circulation patterns define the interior rooms more than any walls might. In many ways, Fehn’s mimetic re-figuration of the site and of the earlier pavilion in Brussels resembles an act of translation. As a translation, however, Fehn’s pavilion in Venice, offers a very specific approach. In the text Experiences in Translation, Umberto Eco describes many variations of translations. One of these, re-writing, uses James Joyce’s epic Finnegans Wake as an example. The language of Finnegans Wake poses serious problems to the typical interlingual translation because, as Eco points out, it is a plurilingual text, conceived by an English speaking (and writing) author dependant upon aural, etymological, and visual play within the English language. In a sense Finnegans Wake is already translated from English! When Joyce was approached to have the work translated by an Italian, he insisted on doing it himself, as was also the case with the French version. To translate the text into another language required Joyce to think and conceive as another. For example, Joyce adjusted the English text to a language (Italian) that does not have as many monosyllabic words, different etymologies, distinct rhythms, rhymes, and references. As a result, the text is not a direct translation, but literally a re-writing, and entire sections do not resemble the original. Fehn has done the same thing with the pavilion in Venice. Rather than simply mimicking the Norwegian Pavilion in Brussels or, even worse, a vernacular wooden hut from Norway, he has made an imaginative translation into a foreign context. Kenneth Frampton has argued that the square plan of the building, and specifically the corner, is a reference to the Doge’s Palace. He also suggested that the structural efficiency of the roof system is a result of the influence of Jean Prouvè. Frampton even goes so far as to contend that the form of the translucent panels hung in between the concrete joists is derived from the canvas roof of the Citroen 2CV. Perhaps. But it seems more appropriate to propose that the form and orientation of the building is less about specific formal references than a careful re-figuration of the site, the means of construction and the program. "… it seems more appropriate to propose that the form and orientation of the building is less about specific formal references than a careful re-figuration of the site, the means of construction and the program." In other words, the meaning of the project does not rely upon the reference to a classic French automobile or an iconic Venetian building, but rather in relation to the existing trees, the slope of the site, the pathways that existed before the pavilion, ways of making, and the very nature of the program of a pavilion. But this leads to another question and our next topic: What does it say that is specifically “Nordic”? 3. RELEASE (catharsis) Mimetic action, according to Kearney, weaves together the past, present, and future to recognize events as both cumulative and oriented. Stories alter us and bring us to places that are essentially other. In this way, we may experience a catharsis. The experience of catharsis requires distance and detachment, but also involvement and empathy. According to Kearney, “It is precisely this double take of difference and identity – experiencing oneself as another and the other as oneself – that provokes a reversal of our natural attitude towards things and opens us to novel ways of seeing and believing.”4 Fehn discussed precisely this novel way of looking at familiar architectural elements after returning from a trip to Morocco. He said, “You suddenly feel as if the walls are not simply to bear a roof or make a house, but at one moment made to provide shade from the sun, the next to be support for your back, in the autumn a rack to dry dates on and in the spring a blackboard for the children to draw on. It is the same with the roof and the floor. The different parts of the whole house are regarded as domestic furnishings.”5 He continued, “I discover things that allow me to discover myself. Visiting French Morocco in order to study its primitive architecture is not like going on a trip to discover new things. What happens is that one recognizes.”6 Fehn talked about his trip to Morocco less in terms of a tourist viewing a more primitive culture than as a traveler who recognizes his own experience of making through that of another.7 During his travels in Italy, Fehn was moved by the quality of light. He explained, “In the north you are moving in the fog, you are moving in a world which has no shadows, in a way where the shadows do not define anything. If you make a piece of architecture in the south of France or in Italy, the shadow is there immediately, you can make a little curve in the wall and you’ll see it at once. But the sign would be invisible in the North. It is another light in which you walk. And that also makes architecture more mysterious, more romantic, more undefined.”8 It is here that Fehn, I argue, has experienced a catharsis. Through his travels away from home, he is able to recognize the distinct nature of Nordic light. The project then becomes a way of finding that Nordic quality of light in a different context. He explained that the goal of his project was to “construct a roof to protect the paintings and sculptures from direct sunlight, and to provide an atmosphere of the shadow-less world of Scandinavia, where the work of art had been created.” 9 But it is not only Fehn, but also the visitor to the pavilion that experiences catharsis. Entering into the pavilion, one senses a change, but it is not the same as walking through the entrance door as in the other pavilions. The light changes, but it is a gradual shift and it is difficult to pinpoint when you are fully immersed. I have sensed this sort of light only a few times before. Once, at the Myyrmäki Church in Vantaa, Finland by Juha Leiviskä, I wandered in on a summer afternoon and was struck by the calm evenness of the light. Perhaps this is the “shadowless” light of the Nordic nations that Fehn described. Fehn, however, does not rely upon tired clichés of Nordic identity – wooden huts and well-patterned wool sweaters – but, rather, he is able to carve out a shadowless light using local means and materials. Like a careful translator he is re-telling a Nordic story in a foreign language. Living in Venice for a while, your eyes adjust to a light that is always being reflected and projected, from the glittering canals to the honey-like golden light of the mosaics in San Marco. For a little while, during the Biennale, one can find a sense of light that is not known elsewhere on the island, but is recognized by the traveler. "Living in Venice for a while, your eyes adjust to a light that is always being reflected and projected, from the glittering canals to the honey-like golden light of the mosaics in San Marco. For a little while, during the Biennale, one can find a sense of light that is not known elsewhere on the island." 4. WISDOM (phronesis) Kearney next asks if there is a truth proper to fiction. His response is that there is, and he defines it as phronesis: “a form of practical wisdom capable of respecting the singularity of situations as well as the nascent universality of values aimed at by human actions.”10 While there is always a suspension of disbelief in any story, we do need to relate the events of the story to the external criteria of evidence in our world. Simply put, a story needs to be believable. This does not reduce our experience of fiction and our world to a relativistic position; rather, narrative holds the potential to both make real possibilities and possible realities.11 The “truth” of Venice, for example, is revealed in one’s own experience of the city, certainly, but that experience may also be affected and made more rich by the narratives of the city like Joseph Brodsky’s Watermark or Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities. Both discuss very specific instances of Venice and also comment on our shared experience. Extending the question, is there a truth proper to architecture? Louis Kahn’s conversation with a brick is always in the architect’s mind. Does Fehn respect the true nature of the material? Is it “truthful” to propose a roof in concrete that resembles wooden joists? The roof has not fallen, so it has proven to be structurally sound. Certainly this is not the only criterion by which Fehn has determined the form. If one looks to the Exeter Library by Kahn, the enormous concrete crossbeams that hover above that building’s central atrium room are certainly not only structural. The cool blue light that the concrete deflects into the atrium below makes a contrast with the warmer yellowish light that filters into the row of individualized carrels found on the edge of the building. The concrete beams are not required to only span an opening and support a roof. Rather, they respond to a number of diverse phenomena, including the quality of light and sense of monumentality. Similarly, in the Nordic Pavilion, the 1 m by 6 cm concrete joists, separated by 52.3 cm to form a 2 m thick brise-soleil, are not employed simply to span an opening.12 Rather, they help to invoke the “shadowless” Nordic light described by Fehn. The depth of the roof construction, combined with the wafer-like girders, prevents the sunlight from directly reaching the floor. The grid, however, is not continuous. It stops in front of and frames the existing trees. The beam that supports the roof splits just before it meets an existing tree. In this way, the room is evenly lit and the existing trees are able to grow. And so Fehn has solved the specific problem of spanning a room, but the project also helps to frame a shared horizon. This brings us to our final topic. 5. ETHICS (ethos) Kearney reminds us that, “Every act of storytelling involves someone (a teller) telling something (a story) to someone (a listener) about something (a real or imaginary world).”13 We may question where the meaning of such a story exists: with the teller, or the listener, in the structure and form of the story, or even in the listener’s response? Depending on your philosophic bent, you may privilege one over another. Kearney proposes that a hermeneutic approach espoused by such philosophers as Paul Ricoeur and Hans-Georg Gadamer may have the potential to hold all four responses (teller, story, listener, reference) in balance. This interplay of agencies not only affords a potentially rich and grounded reading of work, it also provides a particular experience of selfhood and, by extension, identity. Christian Norberg-Schulz, writing with a more intimate knowledge of Norwegian identity than I, explained, “Even today, the Norwegians are urban dwellers who are nevertheless incapable of relating to urban traditions. The idea of self-sufficiency remains, and with it, the distrust of those who claim to be more proficient in specialized areas. This results in a loss of the capacity to judge according to the qualitative parameters, and to create places that are both contemporary and genuine.”14 By questioning the relationship between “contemporary” and “genuine”, Norberg-Schulz problematized most urban Norwegian architecture proposed after the Second World War. He himself made the observation that the introduction of Modernism into the vocabulary of Norwegian architects added a patriotic flavor to the debates regarding a “national” or a “classical” aesthetic.15 The role of the vernacular in that discussion only adds to the confusion. The public gardens in Venice is a site in which the questions of “contemporary” and “genuine” are as present as they are in the Norwegian context. Fehn has demonstrated that the issue of architectural identity, however, is not solely an aesthetic or referential issue, nor must these terms be seen in opposition; one can be concurrently contemporary and genuine. The meaning of a building, however, can never simply be reduced to a structural, tectonic, aesthetic, or formal analysis alone. Nor is it simply the atmosphere or feeling that the building might evoke, or only the intention of the architect. While each of these issues is important, none quite completely communicate the identity of the building. Each of these criteria together forms the nature and meaning of a building. When one makes architecture it is always for another. It is an immanently social act, just like storytelling. As important, this recognition of “the other” is inherently ethical and leads to a sense of identity and selfhood that is indispensable to any sense of responsibility. I would argue that the Nordic Pavilion reveals this. The project is a fusion of the Nordic and Venetian horizons. The Nordic identity, then, is not imposed upon another, but revealed with the other. When you consider architecture in these terms, identity cannot be understood as a nostalgic style to be imitated but rather as recognition of oneself across time and place through interaction with another. Fehn knew that this is found through storytelling. In a conversation with Per Olaf Fjeld, Fehn noted that “You are part of another’s shadow, and you are no longer alone. It is here that the story is told.”16 And it is here that the meaning of architecture may also be found. Fehn will be remembered as an important Norwegian architect. He should also be known as a true storyteller. The Nordic Pavilion sits across from the pavilion for Venezuela (literally, “little Venice”) designed by Carlo Scarpa, that eminently Venetian architect. The similarities between Fehn and Scarpa require more words than can be offered here, though it is interesting to remember that Scarpa once described himself as “a man of Byzantium who came to Venice by way of Greece”. To continue the story, perhaps, one can claim that Sverre Fehn is a man of Morocco who went to Oslo by way of Venice. “Vladimir Nabokov—A Candid Conversation with the Artful, Erudite Author of Lolita" conducted by Alvin Toffler (Playboy Magazine.

I introduce the book for that comparison, but also because Bowles, like Fehn, was radically affected by his travels in Northern Africa. As well, the title of the book refers to a quote “Reach out, pierce the fine fabric of the sheltering sky, take repose” that seems particularly appropriate to the pierced roof plane of Fehn’s pavilion in Venice. ↩ Sverre Fehn: Works, Projects, Writings, 1949-1996.

The triglyphs and metopes on the façade, though typical components of a classical order, refer to the butt end of joists in wood construction but are made in stone and therefore the “truthfulness” of the façade is problematic. Seen in comparison, Fehn’s architecture is indeed more truthful in relation to the materials. ↩ Richard Kearney, On Stories.

Dit is alweer de 122e Photo Diary op rij, bizar dat ik al meer dan twee jaar(!) mijn weken hier met jullie deel. Afgelopen week stond helemaal in het teken van mijn afstudeerverdediging, waar ik eigenlijk de hele week mee bezig geweest ben.. Het was in ieder geval een super zenuwslopende week met veel pieken en dalen. Benieuwd hoe het afgelopen is? Kijk mee! De week begint goed, ons nieuwe matras van EMMA wordt namelijk bezorgd in het appartement. Zo gek dat een mega groot matras van twee meter in zo’n doos past. Wanneer je hem uitvouwt en het pastic eraf haalt blaast ‘ie zichzelf helemaal op. Wow! Ik heb dit matras trouwens gekregen om te testen en het is natuurlijk ontzettend fijn dat Joost en ik écht helemaal ‘nieuw’ kunnen starten. Zelfs met een gloednieuw matras, in een gloednieuw appartement. Deze week hebben we er dus ook echt voor het eerst op geslapen en je merkt echt dat ‘ie van goede kwaliteit is. Mijn rug moet er nog wel een beetje aan wennen omdat mijn eigen matras iets zachter is, maar we gaan er vanuit dat dat helemaal goed komt. Er komt deze maand in ieder geval nog een uitgebreide review online over dit Emma-matras! Alle liefhebbers van highlighters opgelet!!! Sleek heeft een prachtig nieuw palette uitgebracht met vier verschillende highlighters in één palette, echt een plaatje. Het palette is vormgegeven in een compact gouden doosje met een spiegel en een mini penseel. Daarnaast bevat ‘ie twee baked highlighters en twee crème formules. Een highlighter voor op de jukbeenderen, een voor op de bovenlip, een voor in de binnenkant van de ogen en een voor op de neusbrug. Ideaal! Mocht je benieuwd zijn, het palette kost 14 euro en is onder andere verkrijgbaar bij Ici Paris en Etos. Absoluut een aanrader! Dinsdag gaan Joost en ik druk aan de slag in ons appartement. Er moet nog een kast in elkaar gezet worden (de ultieme relatietest, we hebben hem overwonnen hoor!), daarnaast moeten er eigenlijk nog gewoon heel veel kleine dingetjes gedaan worden. Langzaam maar zeker wordt het steeds meer ‘af’ en ons eigen plekje. Van Desenio ontvangen we ook nog een aantal posters in luxe lijsten. Deze krijgen sowieso een mooi plaatsje in ons appartement! Eerst even kijken waar precies, voordat we overal weer gaten boren in die perfect geschilderde muren.. Haha. Woensdag hebben we een kleine borrel met alle bewoners van ons appartementencomplex. Leuk om wat meer gezichten te zien en een klein praatje te maken. De catering is goed verzorgd met lekkere hapjes en drankjes, een goed begin van ons nieuwe avontuur in ieder geval. Maar goed, ik kan niet te lang doordromen over het appartement. Er moet nog even gewerkt worden, die verdediging komt nu namelijk wel HEEL dichtbij. Begin deze week kreeg ik het bericht dat mijn scriptie überhaupt verdedigbaar is en ik hem aanstaande vrijdag mag verdedigen, erg fijn. Ergens had ik het wel verwacht, maar het is toch altijd een opluchting wanneer het ook daadwerkelijk bevestigd wordt. Omdat ik mijn afstudeerscriptie geschreven heb voor Manfield wil ik ook mijn verdediging door laten voeren met het thema schoenen. Dus ik trok al mijn kinderschoentjes uit de kast, zo schattig. BIJNA….. Ik geloof dat ik nog nooit zo zenuwachtig geweest ben… En toen was het vrijdag 7 juli, D-day. Een ongelofelijk spannend moment waar ik al een jaar echt naartoe leef. Een uitgebreid verslag over mijn afstudeerperiode en de opleiding die ik gevolgd heb komt nog online (ik heb er namelijk veel vragen over gekregen!), maar ik kan wel alvast vertellen dat ik gewoon AFGESTUDEERD ben. I did it! Ik heb uiteindelijk een cijfer 8(!) gekregen en heb mijn Bachelor of Communication nu dus écht in de pocket. Nog steeds onwerkelijk, maar ik ben ongelofelijk blij 🙂 Vanaf nu heb ik dus écht tijd om volop te genieten van ons nieuwe plekje én de gloednieuwe meubels die afgelopen dagen allemaal geleverd zijn. Deze bank heb ik bijvoorbeeld gewonnen via Facebook (het blijft een ongelofelijk bizar verhaal dat je hier terug kunt lezen) en we zijn er ZO blij mee. Een heerlijk plekje om lekker onderuit te hangen, daarnaast is ‘ie ook gewoon héél erg mooi en past hij perfect in ons appartement. Na die mega spannende verdediging rijden Joost en ik meteen naar huis om even wat anders aan te trekken. Er staat namelijk een etentje op de planning met mijn ouders en de ouders van Joost, gezellig! Natuurlijk vieren we het feit dat ik mijn diploma heb gehaald, maar eigenlijk draait het vanavond om het feit dat we morgen officieel gaan samenwonen. En kijk deze fotogenieke gerechten, te mooi en te lekker. Na het etentje gaan Joost en ik ook nog even langs een vriendin die een afstudeerfeestje geeft. Ook al zo gezellig! Uiteindelijk liggen we toch om 02.30 uur in bed. Ik ben bekaf na deze enorm inspannende dag, het lijkt wel of alle stress er in een keer uitkomt. Tijd om lekker uit te rusten! Zaterdag spenderen we uiteraard weer de hele middag bij IKEA. Het is eindelijk tijd om een aantal accessoires te gaan kopen, het leukste gedeelte van alles. Ik zie deze leuke hangplantjes en maak er meteen een foto van. Uiteindelijk nemen we ze niet mee, maar misschien dat ik ze toch nog even ga halen. Vind ze echt heel erg leuk en gezellig! Geen IKEA zonder een lekkere portie friet met Zweedse balletjes of saté. En vooruit, een glas vers geperste jus d’orange voor wat extra vitaminen. Zondag doen we lekker helemaal niets, heerlijk dit soort dagen. ‘s Avonds gaan we gezellig uiteten met mijn ouders en zusjes om te vieren dat ik mijn diploma heb. IK HEB GEWOON MIJN DIPLOMA! Wat een gek idee, haha. We gaan trouwens bij het ‘t Zusje eten in Bergen op Zoom, echt een enorme aanrader. Allemaal kleine tapas gerechtjes (onbeperkt!) en een enorme kaart met deserties. Allemaal even lekker, kiezen is zó moeilijk! Hier kom ik sowieso snel weer eens terug. Deze Photo Diary is een paar dagen later online gekomen omdat ik het de afgelopen dagen vrij druk heb gehad. Vanaf nu ben ik weer back online met veel leuke dingen, ik heb ook echt weer zin om lekker vooruit te gaan schrijven en mooie foto’s te maken!

Revolution touring bike Ashland – Eugene – Portland – Seattle – Vancouver – Burning Guy – Yosemite – Southern Yuba The objective of this bike Music Festival tour is to advertise renewable culture overall and bicycle culture particularly, by actually engaging and immersing communities inside magic of bicycle tradition, and cultivating and nurturing companies of neighborhood lasting performers, through our staging of free, community participatory, bicycle-based music activities. The pleasing Revolution Bicycle musical Festival Tour follows when you look at the tire songs of san francisco bay area BMF—”the largest 100percent bicycle-powered music event in the field”—and the Ginger Ninjas’ globe trotting bicycle songs shenanigans. San Francisco’s free, all-day (and later into the evening) occasion takes place yearly regarding the Saturday nearest on summertime solstice. a bike songs Festival typically features: a 1–2000 watt pedal-powered PA system, as many as 15 bands, around 7 event prevents, crazy important Mass-style bicycle celebration caravans between event stops, and zero using cars or trucks. Featuring its completely bike-haulable phase, the function is packed up and deployed numerous times: staged sequentially at different general public parks and on a going “Live On Bike” stage which rolls down city roads. The festival is run by a team of more than 20 volunteers and is supported economically both by donations from the public (mainly collected on event), and through partnerships with hip companies. The SF event began in 2007, and has now since doubled in proportions every year. Like Critical Mass (another SF-birthed bicycle spectacle) the style has actually begun to be emulated across the world. We encourage you to definitely begin one out of your city! The first BMF – 2007 The only festival worldwide actually hauling its very own fat, the BMF possesses 4 distinctive qualities: 1) The human-powered P/A system, which besides becoming more fun and green way to amplify a live concert, also changes every song into a gathering participation tune, and drastically democratizes the concert-goer knowledge (the energy to amplify the folks onstage rests completely inside will of the people offstage; democracy at its healthiest you might say!). 2) Bicycle-mobility of the entire festival: the entire audience/band/stage/crew completely packs-up everything they bring (stage and musical equipment too) onto bicycles, and travels as a large group to the next festival stop. There are no sag-wagons or equipment trucks hauling the amplifiers and other heavy gear – everything is hauled by bicycle.

I wanted to blog about this after reading this in Be'Sheva, but Cross Currents beat me to it. Be sure to read this post on Cross Currents that presents the family's side of the story. When this story was first reported I couldn't help but smell a rat. The media "aleyhom" and demonization were all too familiar me as I had seen these methods used against the settlers and the ultra-Orthodox many times. Read what the press wrote at the time. Also worth noting are these posts at Failed Messiah, Dov Bear, and Jewlicious. Oh, there is also a Wikipedia entry. May the Valis family be comforted for the loss of their infant child and the trouncing of their good name.

Hip, Hip, Hip, Hooray!!! ...... It feels such a long time since we have seen the old mucka...lol.... so the washing machine is on double time trying to get it out on the line to dry before he disappears again behind some big black clouds. Even Barry has hurried out to try and tackle the wildness (aka the front garden) - I've tied a bit of string to his waist just in case he cannot find his way back out ...lol.... Oh, I am cheeky! This goose stamp from Penny Black I've had for ages and I still think it is one of my favourites of theirs. The circle sentiment stamp is from Lili of The Valley. The piece of ribbon is recycled off a set of pyjamas it was wrapped around. The backing paper is from my scrap drawer. The challenges covered this morning are:- - Oldie but a Goodie Challenge - Things with Wings - Simon Says ... Stamp - Clean & Simple - Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Recycle

To have better manipulate on their turnaround, transport, stock and budget, the startup took the processes in-residence. “ We could have been the asset-light aggregator that works with massive pharmacy retail chains for order placement and delivery, however we chose now not to be the one. Instead, we constructed our hybrid model, wherein we do no longer keep inventory to inventory and promote, so our investments pass in constructing deliver chain. We have built a precious relationship with the distributor for on-demand order placement and purchase. However, once we touch scale, we might involve 1/3 birthday celebration logistic companies for express shipping, “ shared Navneet Jain. Medfinder is presently running with 15 vendors. Its in-house group includes five shipping boys that cowl whole Mumbai city and inner logistics group for packaging and returns. Though the startup has began with medicinal drug delivery for now, but it plans to play a larger function inside the healthcare segment, diversifying beyond the drugstore segment. Going in addition, it additionally plans to introduce healthcare services and products, enabling medicinal drug management which include prescriptions & reports. Patients might also be able to reach out counsellors and experts, on demand. “Once we entere patron residence, we would like to end up their lifestyle accomplice through ordinary engagement.

Looking at this increase, in next eight-9 months, it expects to the touch 5000 orders in keeping with month in orders and kind of $eleven,000 in annual sales. Competitive landscape and different demanding situations beforehand In quantity income, Pharma region is taken into consideration to be the third largest quarter within the usa, and thirteen largest in phrases of price. According to IBEF file, until 2020 spending in healthcare space is predicted to touch $280 Bn from $ sixty five Bn in 2012, growing at a CAGR of 20%.

Zoctr recently raised around $1 Mn from Sandeep Parwal, Krishan Gupta and others, even as Lybrate raised around $150,000 from Tiger Global Management, Ratan Tata and Nexus Venture Partners. However, as stated above, healthcare and pharma is a difficult and relatively regulated commercial enterprise. Since authorities determines charges of merchandise, the margins are very low for majority of the medicines. Even if you want to gather a license for promoting drug treatments, retailer needs to personal a physical space you got, inventory and dispense merchandise. And considering it viable for small outlets, there's no consideration of on-line stores. The startup also faces tough opposition and hostility from the worried associations. The startup is walking on a bootstrap mode and is but to elevate any outside fund. Medfinder has entered a well-networked market phase with superb vision in mind. Given the nature of the business, with plenty of government intervention Medfinder does no longer have a lot scope of innovation around its imparting and enterprise version. And this has been inhibiting as quite a few other gamers from entering into this segment. This implies for the ones players as nicely that enter run on the periphery with consultation, conversation and aggregation. While on one hand, it reduces the competition, attractiveness quotient for investor and market standard.

Unbelievable facts about plastic pollution in the oceans, their toxic effects on the water environment, marine animals and the human race itself, made us think about the wrong handling of people with plastic products and waste. “That should be changed!”, we thought. Therefore our team had the idea to dedicate the exhibition to the theme of plastic waste in the oceans nowadays. The exhibition raises awareness about ocean plastic pollutions as a result of people’s behaviour and attitude towards the water environment. It is important that the human race understands the consequences of their actions, their position in the nature and their dependency nature. WASTLESS would like to spread the word among people and give them sharp and clear examples of ecological issues of water environment and their danger that is caused not only by large industrial processes but also by the simple daily use of plastic.

I’ve lived in Los Angeles my life that is entire and I don’t ever recall meeting anyone famous, despite having Hollywood in my garden. Nevertheless, as a result of USC, I feel like I’ve become somewhat of a celebrity among America’s teenagers (well, to not the known level of Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber) because thousands of students want to satisfy me every fall. As much as I’d like to think it’s me personally, highschool seniors desire to make yes I comprehend their strong interest in USC. They take time to meet me personally at high college visits, at off-campus receptions, and during their campus visits. The target: to make sure I can put face up to a title on an application. I do not blame them. USC is an place that is extraordinary students can visited attain their academic goals and prepare themselves for their future careers. But as you are able to imagine, we meet a huge number of pupils through the fall semester and while i really make the effort to remember as much students as you can, I’m maybe not getting any more youthful and my memory will not be the same. My blog series ‘Do This, Not That’ is inspired by a book provided to me personally by my mom: Eat This, Not That (she thinks I need to drop a lbs that are few that’s not going to happen. Los Angeles’ diverse cultures has me trying different foods all time!) That said, we’m right here to give you with some advice on how to contact your admission counselor and make sure it is a meaningful experience for both parties. Every morning i’m greeted with over 40 emails and immediately tell myself: ‘this will be a long day.’ But as I filter through them, I realize these emails are from prospective students who wish to ‘introduce’ themselves to me. Works out, only four e-mails have questions that I have to answer. Three of them have quick easy responses (I’m happy we have this type of website that is thorough i usually refer to it when I don’t remember something). The final one, this one is special. A student asks me a relevant question i don’t know the answer to and I can’t discover the answer on the site. I’ll simply take this challenge! My duty as admission counselor is to make sure my students are well informed applicants. I understand this process is confusing and hard to navigate but I shall do my best to clarify things for you. I will do my research and answer your question. I actually don’t have all of the answers when a learning student asks me one thing I really don’t know, they’re sharpening my skills. We appreciate this kind of relationship with students because this lets me know that they are taking this admission process extremely seriously and they would like to make sure USC is an excellent fit for them. Therefore I challenge you to challenge your admission counselor and question them questions for your benefit. We’re ready! 5 Things to Double Check Before Hitting Submit. 1. You have got done all necessary fields on the application This could appear like common sense, however with so numerous response fields to complete, it’s really simple to inadvertently skip or disregard a concern. Be certain to respond to all applicable questions making sure that you submit a complete application. 2. No errors or typos We recognize that senior year is a busy time, but absolutely leave time to proofread the application. Have friend or family member do similar for you personally. A credit card applicatoin that is riddled with errors implies that you don’t know how to write and/or don’t care sufficient to check your work, both of which are detrimental. 3. You actually explain why you wish to attend USC, be specific Most colleges will ask question akin to ‘Why are you wanting to attend our institution?’ Rather than being generic and stating you want an university with school spirit, in a city that is large where you can study biology, research thoroughly and mention specific programs, research opportunities, or classes that interest you. 4. Academic summary and self-reported supplemental test scores Despite the fact that your academic history and self-reported test ratings look as optional products, it is in your benefit to accomplish them on the application that is common. Sometimes test ratings or transcripts can get lost into the mail, so it helps if you self-report the information as well. This way we can continue to judge your file in the meantime while waiting for the documents that are official arrive. 5. That you shmoop.pro actually hit the submit button…for both typical app and supplement Every year you can find students who surprisingly forget to actually hit the submit button. Also sometimes, students hit submit for the app that is common but forget to submit the USC Supplement. It may be the simplest part associated with the application, but make sure you bear in mind that last step. *Deadlines are very important so please take note that you need to submit by December 1st to be viewed for merit scholarship. With that said, we know some things are from your control such as letters of recommendation and transcripts that are official. That is another explanation you should fill out your scholastic summary, even as we wait for official documents to arrive as we can evaluate that in the meantime. Make an effort to have all documents in by December 1st, but we understand if some of the documents that are supplemental in only a little after the deadline.

Join BirdNote tomorrow, November 30th! Illustrator David Sibley and actor H. Jon Benjamin will face off in the bird illustration battle of the century during BirdNote's Year-end Celebration and Auction! The clear, whistled music of the Eastern Meadowlark is the unmistakable anthem of eastern North America's farmlands and open country. The Western Meadowlark and its sweet, liquid notes epitomize the natural expanses of the American West. Sadly, birds of such grassy habitats are among the fastest declining species in North America. Learn more about these birds and efforts to conserve their habitats. The meadowlarks' best hope lies in the conservation of farmland and grassland. Learn more about the Conservation Reserve Program. Meadowlarks and Grasslands Written by Bob Sundstrom This is BirdNote. [Eastern Meadowlark song, followed by Western Meadowlark song] With their bright yellow breasts and superlative songs, meadowlarks are among our most familiar and cherished birds. The Eastern Meadowlark’s clear, whistled music is the unmistakable anthem of eastern North America’s farmlands and open country. [Eastern Meadowlark song] The Western Meadowlark and its sweet, liquid notes epitomize the natural expanses of the American West. [Western Meadowlark song] Sadly, both meadowlarks face ominous threats. True to their name, they are birds of meadows and grasslands. Birds of such grassy habitats are among the fastest declining species in North America. How could this happen? Well, with most native grasslands transformed by settlement and farming, meadowlarks have turned to pastures and hayfields as habitat. But here, their nesting is often disturbed by overgrazing, the cutting of hay, and seasonal burning. More permanently disruptive: Vast tracts of farmland are succumbing to suburban development. The meadowlarks’ best hope for the future lies in farmland and grassland conservation. There are agricultural practices that are compatible with the needs of birds – such as delaying hay-cutting until nesting birds have fledged. And the Conservation Reserve Program enables landowners to keep their acreage in grasslands. [Eastern Meadowlark song, followed by Western Meadowlark song] For BirdNote, I’m Mary McCann.

Teczki z nadrukiem łączą praktyczność materiałów biurowych i potencjał najlepszych nośników reklamowych. Czym wyróżniają się teczki firmowe i jak w pełni wykorzystać ich możliwości? Czy warto drukować teczki firmowe? Nie każdy zdaje sobie sprawę, jak duże możliwości reklamowe mają właśnie teczki firmowe. To coś więcej niż nośnik reklamowy – to przede wszystkim praktyczny produkt, który przyda się każdemu. Właśnie dzięki temu, teczki „same się rozchodzą”, przy okazji niosąc w świat wieść o naszej firmie. Kto z nas nie używał teczki do przenoszenia dokumentów, segregowania faktur lub oprawy istotnych materiałów edukacyjnych, notatek lub ofert handlowych? Teczki po prostu się przydają, a jeśli są nie tylko solidne, ale też ciekawie zadrukowane – to prawdopodobnie reklama sama się „rozniesie”. A kto nie wierzy w potencjał teczek firmowych, niech zamówi choćby niewielki nakład – a potem patrzy, jak błyskawicznie się on rozchodzi (teczki można drukować nawet od 10 szt. – np. tutaj: https://www.drukomat.pl/teczki-standard). Zastosowanie teczek reklamowych - Teczki pozwolą zabezpieczyć dokumenty wręczane współpracownikom i kontrahentom. - Teczki firmowe ułatwiają przechowywanie, segregację i obieg materiałów firmowych. - Teczki mogą być elegancką oprawą oferty handlowej, wręczanej na spotkaniach biznesowych, targach lub konferencjach. - Posiadanie teczki firmowej (najlepiej zaprojektowanej zgodnie z firmową identyfikacją wizualną) wspiera budowanie wizerunku profesjonalnej i zaufanej firmy. - Teczki świetnie się też nadają do przechowywania i przekazywania materiałów szkoleniowych, gromadzenia notatek, a także jako podkładka do pisania (np. podczas podróży, konferencji lub szkoleń branżowych). - Teczki stanowią niebywale skuteczny nośnik reklamowy. Gdy trafiają do naszych (współ)pracowników i klientów często – nawet nieświadomie – są przekazywane dalej. Dzięki temu wieść o naszej firmie rozprzestrzenia się samoistnie. Co warto wiedzieć o druku teczek? Jeśli planujemy druk teczek, pamiętajmy, aby wybrać dobre podłoże – najlepiej o minimalnej gramaturze 350 g. Praktyczne są także teczki zapinane na gumki. Wybierając drukarnię, zwróćmy uwagę na to, czy oferuje ona zadruk kolorowy i czy będzie on jedno- czy dwustronny. - Teczka z kolorowym nadrukiem czy monochromatyczna? Przypomnijmy, że kolorowy zadruk oznacza się cyfrą 4 (od 4 kolorów farby drukarskiej – czyli CMYK – Cyjanu. Magenty, Yellow i Key colour, czyli czerni). Tutaj kolorowy druk dwustronny będzie zapisany jako 4/4 (4 kolory na awersie i 4 na rewersie), kolorowy druk jednostronny okładki będzie zapisany jako 4/0. Jeśli zobaczymy oznaczenia 1/1 oznacza to obustronny druk jednym kolorem – a odpowiednio 1/0 to jednostronny monochromatyczny zadruk awersu. Jeśli zależy nam na teczkach z kolorowym dwustronnym zadrukiem – zamawiajmy te z oznaczeniem 4/4. - Grubość grzbietu i bigowanie. Istotnym parametrem przy wydruku teczek ofertowych jest też grubość grzbietu. To od tego zależy, czy nasza teczka będzie teczką na pojedyncze dokumenty, czy może pojemną teczką ofertową – która zmieści nie tylko dokumenty, ale także ofertę, ulotkę i np. katalog. Jeśli zależy nam na teczce ofertowo-reklamowej o dużej objętości, zamówmy teczkę dwubigową. Bigowanie oznacza specjalne introligatorskie wyżłobienie, które pozwala na wygodne zginanie produktu, bez ryzyka pękania farby czy zniszczenia powierzchni. - Uszlachetnienie teczek. Dobre drukarnie, poza samym drukiem i bigowaniem, oferują także możliwość uszlachetnienia wydruków. Najpowszechniejszym sposobem jest pokrywanie materiałów folią – ta nie tylko podnosi walory estetyczne, ale jest także dodatkowym zabezpieczeniem, podnoszącym trwałość kolorów. Bardzo ciekawy efekt daje pokrycie wydruku aksamitną folią soft touch, która delikatnie tonuje kolory i sprawia, że powierzchnia jest b. miła w dotyku (prawie jak skórka brzoskwini). Jeśli chcemy podkreślić kolory, pokryjmy teczkę błyszcząca folią, a aby wydobyć elegancję – zastosujmy matową. - Ale to nie wszystko. Efekt WOW zapewni nam dodatkowa warstwa wybiórczego lakieru UV, którą możemy pokryć nasze logo, claim lub dowolne detale, które chcemy wyróżnić. Lakier wybiórczy nada naszym teczkom intrygującej głębi. - Praktyczny elementem teczek ofertowych jest także specjalne wcięcie na wizytówkę lub ulotkę.

10 Tasting Notes In at the shop at 5am to receive our tea order for the weekend, and really needed a pick-me-up to get through it all. Made this a bit stronger than normal, for obvious reasons! 3 scoops, 4 oz water. Whisk into oblivion. Stopping, the vegetal aroma hits the nose and wakens the senses. Slurping it down, the frothy liquor is smooth yet somehow astringent, sweet and vegetal at the same time. I paired it with a dark chocolate truffle for good measure. Ready to greet all my Black Friday shoppers! Sarah from the upstate store is down today to help out before Thanksgiving weekend. We made this in our Dragonhouse glass tumblers! (more of those are on the way, should be here next week!) Anyways, this Dong Ding is AMAZING. Roasted, sweet and fruity, it’s right up our alley. My father and I always get into a discussion about what aspects of oolongs we like the most. Sarah and I tend to like the darker, more roasted oolongs like DHP (Da Hong Pao), that have similar qualities to Pu-erhs and Lapsang. My father and his assistant Elvira on the other hand tend to prefer the lighter, more complex notes of floral, high mountain oolongs like Ali San and the lighter version of Dong Ding. Now we have a Dong Ding for him and a Dong Ding for me! YAY! Though lighter this season, our Fenghuang still is smooth and delicious as always! The light liquor and body let the sweet flavors of apricots and peaches trickle over the tongue while the aroma is just a hair more floral than you’d expect. Great way to warm up and get started on this cold, blustery morning on Broome St!

I was half asleep this morning when brewing my tea and put this one in the infuser instead of the French Vanilla I’d been planning on. Oh well, an herbal for breakfast isn’t a bad thing! Especially when it smells almost exactly like David’s Forever Nuts, one of my favourite must-haves. Brewed I found it light but lovely, exactly like the dessert the tea professes to emulate. There are hints of cinnamon and sugar and all those delightful things that I love in a dessert, minus the grease of the actual cakes. I can see why people enjoy this one, although I’m not sure if I like it more than my Forever Nuts.

The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is a unique, experimental research work of the Union of International Associations. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature. The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s Yearbook of International Organizations. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting world problems and developing action strategies based on particular values, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations. Non-profit, apolitical, independent, and non-governmental in nature, the UIA has been a pioneer in the research, monitoring and provision of information on international organizations, international associations and their global challenges since 1907.

Longshanks, Girth, and Keen: The Story of Three Wonderful Serving Men He tried to talk to her, asking her many questions, but she made him no answer. She might have been marble the way she never smiled and never looked at any of them. He seated himself beside her, determined to stay all night on guard in order to prevent her escape. For greater security Longshanks stretched himself out on the floor like a strap and wound himself around the room the whole length of the wall. Girth sat in the doorway and puffed himself out until he filled that space so completely that not even a mouse could slip through. Keen took his place by a pillar in the middle of the hall. But, alas, in a few moments they all grew heavy with drowsiness and in the end slept soundly all night long. In the morning in the early dawn the prince awoke and with a pain in his heart that was like a blow from a dagger, he saw that the princess was gone. Instantly he aroused his men and asked them what was to be done. “It’s all right, master, don’t worry,” said Keen as he took a long look through the window. “I see her now. A hundred miles from here is a forest, in the midst of the forest an ancient oak, on the top of the oak an acorn. The princess is that acorn. Let Longshanks take me on his shoulders and we’ll go get her.” Longshanks picked Keen up, stretched himself out, and set forth. He took ten miles at a stride and in the time it would take you or me to run around a cottage, here he was back again with the acorn in his hand. He gave it to the prince. “Drop it, master, on the floor.” The prince dropped the acorn and instantly the princess appeared. As the sun came over the mountain tops the doors slammed open and the magician entered. A crafty smile was on his face. But when he saw the princess the smile changed to a scowl, he growled in rage, and bang! one of the iron bands about his waist burst asunder. Then he took the princess by the hand and dragged her off. That whole day the prince had nothing to do but wander about the castle and look at all the strange and curious things it contained.

Twitter was reportedly evicted from offices in Boulder, Colorado, after not paying rent, local reports show. A Boulder County judge ordered the sheriff’s office to evict Twitter from offices in the city after the landlord filed a complaint against Twitter last month over unpaid rent, the Denver Business Journal reported. The tech behemoth signed a lease agreement for four office suites, totaling about 65,000 square feet, at 3401 Bluff St., in 2020, according to the outlet. Roughly 300 Twitter employees previously worked out of the offices. The complaint filed by the landlord, Lot 2 SBO LLC, alleges that Twitter set up a letter of credit for $968,000, which the landlord was authorized to access if Twitter failed to make rent payments. Twitter was required under its lease agreement to replenish the pool of money within 10 days if the landlord was forced to draw money from the credit, according to the Denver Business Journal. Lot 2 SBO LLC drew funds from the letter of credit to pay for Twitter’s rent in March, according to the complaint, but Twitter failed to replenish the letter of credit. In April, the landlord served Twitter a "demand for compliance or possession" to either leave the property or repay the letter of credit. Twitter did not comply, according to the complaint. A judge on May 31 subsequently issued a "writ of restitution," ordering the sheriff’s department to evict Twitter. The order remains in effect for 49 days, according to the Denver Business Journal. After Elon Musk bought Twitter last year, 38 employees at the Boulder location resigned in November and an additional 87 employees were laid off amid Musk's reorganization of the company. Twitter is also in legal battles over unpaid rent in San Francisco and London, according to various reports. Twitter did not immediately respond to FOX Business' request for comment.

In the hospital After the procedure, you will be taken to the recovery room to be watched. Your recovery process will depend on the type of surgery and the type of anesthesia you had. Once your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing are stable and you are awake and alert, you will be taken to your hospital room. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be done on an outpatient basis. In this case, you may be discharged home from the recovery room. You will get pain medicine as needed. A nurse may give it to you. Or you may give it to yourself through a device connected to your IV line. You may have a thin plastic tube that goes through your nose into your stomach. This is to remove air that you swallow. The tube will be taken out when your bowels are working normally. You won’t be able to eat or drink until the tube is removed. You may have one or more drains in the incision if an open procedure was done. The drains will be removed in a day or so. You might be discharged with the drain still in and covered with a dressing. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for taking care of it. You will be asked to get out of bed a few hours after a laparoscopic procedure or by the next day after an open procedure. Depending on your situation, you may be given liquids to drink a few hours after surgery. You will slowly be able to eat more solid foods as tolerated. You should schedule a follow-up visit with your healthcare provider. This is usually 2 to 3 weeks after surgery. Once you are home, it’s important to keep the incision clean and dry.

Love for knowledge and perseverance are necessary for scientific success, but not always enough. A scientist should also be full of imagination, excitement, and patience. A rich imagination is like the trunk of the tree of life, its roots allowing it to grow towards the infinite ocean of wisdom. It is the invisible capital of a scholar when applied at the right time and place. For this tree, the seed is intelligence, water is determination, air is patience, and effort is excitement. One thing to consider is that imagination and fantasy are not the same concept. Whereas imagination is the seed of realistic, logical plans and projects designed in accordance with long term goals regarding life and the future, fantasy involves short term projections out of proportion with reality, emotion, and rational thought. In this sense, there is no imagination that does not sprout its roots towards the goal and does not disperse the seeds of excitement to the human soul. This is because imagination is like a pile of emotions that sustain us in the years ahead. It is the energy that powers the heart, the mystery juice which injects excitement into our minds, a framework of desires that bind us to life. It helps us to believe that one man's expectations for life are as good as his dreams; his earnings will match his excitement. Imagination and the resulting "excitement" is a great blessing that brings out treasures, love, and skills hidden inside us. Above all, imagination can help us to achieve success in all of our endeavors. This is true of science, too. Defining scientific success can be tricky. It requires effort, hard work, and observation to achieve scientific success. But most importantly, it requires intelligence which is a blessing. Just like a licensed driver controlling a car, the brain's performance improves with the skill of its driver. To maximize the brain's potential, it is very important to integrate the heart and conscience with the use of intelligence. Can we explain the reality that there is only a limited number of scientists because they were born as such or inherited this quality genetically? The reality is thousands of babies are born with brain capacities similar to that of scientists' in terms of anatomy, histology, physiology, and biochemistry. Even though human intelligence is partly determined by inheritance, there are other factors. If the case was as simple as inheritance, would Einstein say, "I do not have any special skill, but I am passionately curious"? When Thomas Edison said, "1% of genius is inspiration and 99% is sweat," he captured perfectly that one needs more than just intelligence to achieve success - one also needs to maximize that intelligence through hard work. Scholar Bediuzzaman Said Nursi summarized the stages of knowledge development of the human mind in seven steps. "One first imagines something (tahayyul), then conceives of it, and clothes it in a form (tasawwur). Afterwards, one reasons and reflects on this thing (taaqqul), then confirms it (tasdiq), and then has full conviction of it (iz'an). Then they fully support it (iltizam); then they become committed or devoted to it (itiqad)" (The Words, Gleams of Truth). Each of these stages is subject to different rulings. They form the ladder to higher meanings. Thus, if a person is unaware of the step occupied, he/she ends up remaining in the lower stages and acts according to the necessities of that particular level. Therefore if we do not want to leave our scientific approach at the dimension of "sophistry," which starts with imagination (tahayyul), we have to continue our intellectual and ideological journey all the way to the end. Imagination, which is often overlooked, bears the seed of intelligence, which is a blessing offered from the infinite ocean of God's wisdom. Imagination is the unprinted photo of our intellectual aptitudes. How do you like to print and uncover your dreams?

I guess that I can’t really blame it on the power out today since it was only 20 minutes. I could blame it on the sushi making, that took much longer than I thought it would. I made a cake, but then it was from a mix, so not enough time there. Well, how about the time I spent with the boy, doing laundry, dishes and driving. That took up a big portion. Making supper? Well Anthony helped. Ok, I guess I really need to blame it on 2 things. 1: Playing Guitar hero with Anthony. 2: Watching compelling dancing shows while eating cake. Yes, I admit it. I love and never miss Dancing With the Stars. I even vote. Just one question, why in the name of all that is holy, do they put the horrible fake lashes on Marie Osmond? It is no wonder she had a hard time with the Mambo, she could hardly see.

‘This is an informative training camp rather than a tactical one’, said National Teams Head Coach Michele Marcolini when addressing the media on day two of the National Team training camp. The four-day mini training camp is being organised at the Ta’ Qali training grounds, with Euro Qualifiers against Macedonia and Italy on the horizon. Marcolini stressed that despite following most of the premier league games since he was appointed, this is the first experience whereas he could meet the players and work with them rather than just watch them play. According to Marcolini, he has observed a group of players that have demonstrated passion and determination and who will give their best, both physically and emotionally. He indicated that he is not a carbon copy of his predecessor and that, while recognising the enormous strides forward achieved under Devis Mangia, he will try to build on the good work already done while making adjustments to improve the team and its results. The manner one approaches problems and the solutions chosen to better adapt to the game, in his opinion, are equally as significant as the tactic and formation. It is thus one of Coach Marcolini’s main goals. Michele Marcolini explained that despite not having the players playing abroad during this mini camp, he has spoken to them and followed their performances. Marcolini explained that he is adapting to the new reality and despite being a positive experience he knows that future includes a mountain to climb. He thanked the Premier League clubs and Sliema Wanderers for lending their players for this mini camp which is not during the international window. He added that he wants to maintain strong relations with the clubs because he believes both parties will benefit from such. Photo: Mark Zammit Cordina

DIY Modern Vintage Bathroom Makeover Since we moved into our house over 3 years ago I’ve been wanting to make changes to our primary bathroom. We purposefully selected the white tile, unfinished vanity and fixtures knowing that one day we would give it a makeover. I wanted it to feel like a cozy little retreat! After putting it off for far too long, Trent and I finally decided to make the transformation happen. Over the last six months we have painted the walls, ceilings, and vanity, replaced mirrors and light fixtures, and added some extra accessories. Below are all the details of how we brought this to dream bathroom to life! Before + Progress Photos I knew right away there were three must-have items for my primary bathroom makeover: - Double Mirrors: The large panel mirror had to go! I wanted two individual mirrors above each sink and loved the look of hanging round mirrors for our space. While the original ones are sold out, you can buy a similar one here. - Antique Persian Rug: After digging through Pinterest for what seemed like hours I knew I loved this look, but couldn’t find anything reasonable in my price range. That was until I found Krazy For Rugs on Instagram! Read more about my experience with her below. - Floating Wood Shelves: If you’ve followed me on Instagram for a while then you may have seen some of my husband, Trent’s, woodworking. I knew I wanted him to build a beautiful set of shelves for above the tub that could hold essentials like bath salts, face towels and a few personal touches. However, the first thing we had to do was get our walls and ceilings painted. Prior to this, they were still covered in the construction paint from when we first moved in. It took us a solid weekend to complete, but we repainted the walls and painted the unfinished cabinet ourselves: - Wall Color: Sherwin Williams Snowbound - Ceiling Color: Sherwin Williams High Reflective White - Cabinet Color: Sherwin Williams Salty Dog After Makeover Photos To remove the panel mirror above the vanity, we applied shipping tape across the entire front in case it cracked or shattered while being removed. Thankfully, it wasn’t glued to the wall so it came off fairly easily. Make sure that you have two people, one on either end, to remove a mirror of this size because they’re surprisingly heavy and can flex. After painting the bathroom walls and covering any spots left from the old mirror, we were ready to hang our new round mirrors from Wayfair! We started by putting the wooden wall pegs in place, which we were able to buy through Amazon Prime. They’re a great price, easy to use and arrived quickly! The original mirrors we used are sold out, but below is a similar style and price-point: So let’s talk about the pièce de résistance – our antique Persian runner. I had my eye on a style like this for the bathroom, but it was way beyond my budget! Turns out antique Persian and Turkish rugs are highly sought-after and come with hefty price-points (often starting at $900 for small runners). I thought the dream was unattainable until I found Katie from Krazy For Rugs on Instagram! First of all, her name told me everything I needed to know. As a rug obsessed person I knew I had found a kindred spirit right away. Katie was able to find the perfect rug for the space, originally made in the 1930’s, with beautiful rich reds and pops of teal all for a fraction of the price. If you’re looking for a gorgeous, unique rug that will be a statement piece in your next design project I highly recommend Krazy For Rugs. You can shop her current inventory on krazyforrugs.com or keep up with the latest and greatest @krazyforrugs on IG. After installing the shelves above our tub, I was excited to add in useful bathroom accessories (like a metal bin to hold all of my face washcloths) and personal touches. Below are details to all of the items you see here. Frames shown are in the 8″ x 8″, 5″ x 7″ and 11″ x 14″ sizes: Potted cacti are from Charlotte Collective which is a boutique in Plaza Midwood that specializes in carrying products from local small businesses. The glass canisters from Crate & Barrel come in several sizes. Shop the ones shown below: Shop the remaining accessories here: I’m so happy to finally be able to share this bathroom makeover with you! I hope it’s inspired you to take action on those DIY projects you’ve held off on or perhaps refresh your space.

I will also be doing a workshop on older heroines. Let’s see what you all think about that. The earliest heroines were sweet, young things – 18 to 20 years old. The heroes were generally much older, say around 30, and very successful in their careers. Look at Jane Austin heroines or those of the author I grew up on, Victoria Holt. To Victoria Holt, the heroines were generally women of breeding but no money and what was left to them was being a companion or a governess and thus, this sets up the story. Times have changed. You still find romances about young women, but now they tend to be in their mid-20s to possibly early 30s and are in their own careers, either just starting or beginning to be settled. Heroes are likely to be closer to the same age. Rarely do we see an 18 year old woman being courted by a 30 year old man. I think our society tends to look at such a relationship differently than we did once. I have a 17 year old daughter and if she were thinking of dating even a boy in college, I’d be concerned! As romance readers, and authors, age, heroines have begun to age as well. I, for one, am thrilled by this. I’m at an age where I’m more concerned with hot flashes and mortgages and school tuition than I am about designer shoes and worrying about being fired from my job or finding Mr. Right. It’s getting harder and harder to relate to younger heroines. Older heroines have different issues to deal with than their younger counterparts. Young heroines are usually struggling to get established in their careers. They are generally single and have no one depending on them. Even if they have a roommate or a pet, their income and time belong pretty much to themselves and they’re free to travel, shop or do whatever strikes their fancy, within the bounds of the guidelines of their particular book. Older heroines have lived through that phase of their life. They normally do have people dependent on them — children, a husband and possibly even parents. Their time and money is designated for other people and their needs as often, if not more often, than it is for themselves. Most older heroines are not looking for Mr. Right. They may already be married to him. So, maybe you’re asking, “How can it be a romance if there isn’t a “love story”? What about the Happily Ever After?” Stories about older heroines don’t have a cute name like chick lit. Someone coined the term “Hen Lit,” which I HATE. Mom lit is okay, too, but doesn’t cover all of them. Right now I’ll call it “Lady Lit,” but I hope someone more clever than I am will come up with something better! Lady Lit is like chick lit, in that it is the story of a woman’s journey to discovering herself. If she finds a man in the process, that’s fine, but he is the icing. The Happily Ever After comes when she finds herself at the end of her journey. Older heroines has many more opportunities for stories than younger women do. As Harlequin describes their NEXT line, “These are stories about women in the next phase of their lives.” Whatever that next phase might be. It could be the story of a woman dealing with the empty nest as in Off Her Rocker (Harlequin Next) by Jennifer Archer. Maybe our heroine discovers that her husband was married to another woman — while he was married to her! This is the story in The Other Wife (Harlequin Next) by Shirley Jump. Our heroine might inherit a business from her mother as in Knit Two Together (Harlequin Next) by Connie Lane. Also, stories about a group of women together can fit into this category as in The Sisterhood Of The Queen Mamas (Steeple Hill Cafe) by Annie Jones. Lady Lit is a broad definition that can cover a myriad of story of ideas. The amount of sensuality can be just as varied. I attended a workshop given by a NEXT editor and several authors and I asked if sex scenes were required n these books. The answer was that there didn’t even need to be a romance. These are stories about older women, women who have lived the bulk of their lives and are dealing with things that “real women” deal with. Weight, health, loss, loneliness, disillusionment, all things we can relate to. If you’re getting older, and we all are, and you’re finding it harder and harder to relate to the “sweet young things” who are running around New York City or Chicago or even Dallas in designer clothes and searching for the perfect pair of shoes, maybe it’s time to look at the older women who are still vital and have lots to experience and to say. The market for older heroine books is growing and maybe, just maybe, your story is the one we all want to read. I can’t wait for it! Get out there and get that book written! The world is waiting!

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Inka’s Peruvian restaurant opens in Syracuse. Timmy Wilcox: Inka’s Peruvian Fusion Cuisine opened Oct. 15. The restaurant sits on the corner of South Salina and East Washington street and offers a combination of Peruvian and Asian cultures. Inka’s manager Sebastian Ramirez says the menu has a lot of common flavors, but the experience is unlike any other. Sebastian Ramirez: There’s a lot of stuff that’s very different than what Syracuse is usually accustomed to, and we’re just trying to create more of a culinary experience and show off the Peruvian culture a little bit more. Wilcox: Inka’s owners also own Margarita’s Mexican Cantina in Armory Square. After learning from mistakes at Margarita’s, Ramirez said they’ve been able to hit the ground running. Wilcox: Despite Inka’s being open for just over a week, it’s already had customers travel from far distances. It’s already had customers make the trip from Long Island. Ramirez: So for sure is the pollo a la brasa which is kind of the rotisserie chicken, it’s one of the staple foods in Peru. Everything is cooked with charcoal and wood fire, so they’re roasted over I believe it’s an hour and a half roast process so it’s very very good. Wilcox: These customers have come for the full bar and to enjoy a menu with fresh ingredients. Ramirez is excited for Syracuse to dig in to the restaurant’s top choices. Wilcox: Inka’s plans to change their food menu every three to four months. The restaurant’s variety of food and drinks provide a unique dining option for Syracuse. Tim Wilcox. NCC News. Syracuse, N.Y. (NCC News) — Syracuse has a new dining option in the downtown area. Inka’s opened on Oct. 15 and offers Peruvian fusion cuisine. Located on the corner of Salina and Washington streets, the restaurant is owned by the same owners as Margarita’s Mexican Cantina in Armory Square. Inka’s had a smoother opening because the owners learned from the obstacles of starting Margarita’s. Some customers from Margarita’s have dined at Inka’s and already, customers from as far as Long Island have visited. Inka’s menu has both common flavors and new tastes, Inka’s manager Sebastian Ramirez said. “There’s a lot of stuff that’s very different than what Syracuse is usually accustomed to, and we’re just trying to create more of a culinary experience and show off the Peruvian culture a little bit more,” Ramirez said. Inka’s prides itself on the fresh ingredients that it uses in its seafood and meat dishes. The restaurant’s Peruvian food consists of stir fry and soy sauce flavors. One of the restaurant’s favorite dishes is the pollo a la brasa, similar to rotisserie chicken. “It’s one of the staple foods in Peru,” Ramirez said. “Everything is cooked with charcoal and wood fire, so they’re roasted over an hour and a half, so it’s very, very good.” Inka’s decorated the interior to bring a mix of New York City style and “tropical South American flair” to the restaurant. Fixtures such as the mezzanine and bar were kept from the previous building tenants.

The Pittsburgh Symphony Brass was organized by George Vosburgh in 1994 with an emphasis on featuring some of the world’s finest orchestral brass musicians playing in chamber ensemble. The result has been a unique blend of virtuosity with brilliant sonority usually associated with orchestral brass. The ensemble, all of whom are members of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, endeavors to stretch the limitations of performance and explore a wide range of musical expression rarely achieved in brass music. The American Record Guide described the ensemble’s first compact disc, J.S. Bach, The Art of Fugue for the Four Winds record label as “Magnificent, an extended example of first rate playing, with beautiful tone qualities, impeccable intonation, and polished execution.” The ensemble’s second recording A Christmas Concert, has been described by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as, “Holiday cheer delivered with virtuoso flair.” At a recent concert for the Frick Art and Historical Center, Mark Kanny, music critic for the Tribune-Review, described the concert as “impressively polished.” After a concert for the Pittsburgh Chamber Music Society the Tribune-Review wrote, “Full of brilliance and power, but also stunning in subtle artistic qualities made possible only by masterful control”. The Pittsburgh Symphony Brass released a third compact disc in 2002. This recording, Cantate Hodie for the Clarion label is in collaboration with the Bach Choir of Pittsburgh and features contemporary works based on Christmas themes for mixed chorus, brass, and organ. The groups fourth and fifth recordings, The Spirit of Christmas (2003) and A Song of Christmas (2008-both for Four Winds) again received great reviews. Music performed by the PSO Brass can also be found on The American Girl’s Christmas, Music of Christmas Past. The groups association with the American Gramophone label has resulted in partnerships on that label’s Holiday Musik II and Renaissance Holiday recordings. – Click to listen to some tracks.
