What if you were soon to become aware of wonderful treasures which exist within you?
What if you have incredible inner resources that can easily be activated to enrich your life and help you with life purpose?
What if you you have lived many times before and have mastered many things?
What if all of your resources from past, and future lives, are available to you right now?
Wouldn't you be more apt to be successful at attaining your goals?
You Do Have …
Well, here's my experience:
- You do have wonderful treasures within you.
- You do have incredible resources within you.
- You have mastered many things and have these skills and learnings available to you now.
- You exist in all times at once, therefore having access to your full mastery (a bit mind-boggling perhaps).
The Wonder-When 4 Step Process …
Imagine how you could fuel your life purpose and create positive motivation for accomplishing your goals.
You can discover these resources for yourself. Here's a simple four-step process:
1) Pick a word that represents one of your inner treasures that you would like to discover or deepen. A short list of some of my favorites are: boldness, clarity, compassion, confidence, contentment, cooperativeness, courage, creativity, dependability, dynamism, efficiency, energy, flexibility, freedom, generosity, gentleness, goodness, gracefulness, harmony, honesty, humor, independence, integrity, inventiveness, kindness, love, loyalty, motivation, openness, patience, persistence, practicality, radiance, sensitivity, sensuality, strength, thoroughness, uniqueness, and wisdom. Pick one word from this list or come up with one of your own.
2) Write down the following sentence on a small piece of paper: "I wonder how soon it will be before my inner <fill in your word> begins to express itself in my life?"
3) For the next week—longer if you wish—repeat this phrase with as much enthusiasm as you can bring forth. You can say it out loud and to yourself; quietly and with lots of volume; quickly and slowly; or with sacredness then silliness. Just say this magical affirmation in as many different ways as come to mind. The more you speak these words, and in as many different ways, the more you will be evoking your inner treasures.
4) Expect the resource to come forth! How could it not?!
If you enjoy this process, repeat it many times, using a new word each week. Without a doubt, this is the most powerful affirmation process I've ever used. I hope you enjoy bringing forth the wonders which exist within you. May you achieve success in realizing your goals and be on a path for expressing your life purpose.

USGS Intensity Map of New Jersey shaking
South New Jersey residents felt the ground shaking Saturday morning, but no earthquakes or military training exercises were reported in the region.
The U.S. Geological Survey suggested a possible sonic boom was the cause.
"I'm in LEH [Little Egg Harbor] and my basement door shook violently for 15 sec or so long enough to creep me out. Sounded like someone was trying to get out," posted a person identified as Dana Re on the Jersey Shore Hurricane News Facebook page.
Another comment, posted by a person identified as John Tefankjian, said he felt his Brigantine house shake, but differently from when fighter jets go by in training.
See the NBCPhiladelphia.com report
"There currently is no training of any type that would have resulted in today's incident," Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst spokesman Pascual Flores told NBC News on Saturday.
The New Jersey National Guard last weekend conducted artillery-fire training that it told the public about in advance.
NBCPhiladelphia.com reported that residents in Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean, Salem and Camden County claimed they felt the ground shake.

Comments on the shaking were also posted on independent Earthquake-Report.com.
"Felt like a rumble, everyone ran outside, we all noticed on our street," said one from Ocean City.
"Whole house started shaking, outside sounded like a bomb with slight shaking," said one from Little Egg Harbor.

Rugged full HD cameras with exceptional low light capability
EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands – September 09, 2015 -- Adimec (www.adimec.com), a world leader in application-specific, leading-edge industrial camera solutions, announces the release of the TMX74, the first rugged global shutter full HD resolution (1920 x 1080) daylight camera with GS-CMOS technology, into volume production. The camera has been tested by select rugged EO/IR image system developers and has proven to provide excellent color imaging from low to high light scenes with optimal contrast reproduction. With design-ins for several global security systems, the TMX74 camera is now readily available for other new and upgrade programs in airborne payloads, situational awareness systems, and ground vehicle-based long-range observations systems, among others.
The TMX74-60c/CL uses the latest generation Sony IMX174 CMOS image sensors that have significant improvements in image quality and sensitivity. The camera design is focused on operational use in environmentally challenged systems with small size, low weight and low power. The Camera Link base interface ensures easy integration with widely available frame grabbers. At Full HD resolution, the TMX74 can maintain a maximum frame rate of 60 fps or 30 fps for RGB color images.
The TMX series also includes options for a selection of CCD image sensors for alternate optical formats, and remote sensor head, cube outline, or board-level configurations. They are available in monochrome or color versions, which utilize Adimec proprietary color processing technology for unprecedented quality and clarity in real-time, changing outdoor conditions. Interfaces include Analog, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, CoaXPress, and Camera Link. Customization is possible, although the wide variety of standard combinations meet the requirements of most programs.
All of the TMX cameras are qualified according to MIL-STD-810G to verify rugged performance. The qualification process includes extended temperature range (-40℃ to +71℃), EMC/EMI, vibration, acceleration, and shock testing. Humidity, altitude, salt, and fog performance are also included. Adimec's rugged cameras are subjected to a full acceptance test with options for thermal cycling, vibration stress, and environmental stress screening to guarantee products for the operational life. This results in extremely low failure rates and is combined with configuration control and comprehensive obsolescence mitigation for long-term programs.
The TMX74 will be demonstrated at the DSEi event in London this week in the Adimec Booth Number N2-330 in the Dutch Pavillion on the exhibition floor.

Contrary to popular dogma, Canada is not losing all of its innovative edge. Key groups are quietly building on their strengths and continuing to have an impact on the world.
Tucked away next to Pacific Spirit Regional Park, from inside the TRI-UMF lab near the University of British Columbia, a Canadian global health-science company, Nordion Inc., quietly churns out several million patient doses of medical isotopes every year. In addition to being distributed locally across B.C., the medical isotopes are shipped by air to far-off destinations such as Australia, Japan, Europe and North and South America.
These perishables (some like Iodine-123 have half-lives of 13 hours, during which time half of the atoms decay) leave TRIUMF early in the morning, fly 15 hours and are inside a patient within the next four to six hours. The image is on the doctor's computer monitor 20 minutes after that.
That's our world: fast, connected, and not as big as it used to be. You read that all the time. The world is flat, the world is global. The difference is that this business has been taking place for more than 33 years at the Vancouver operations, as Nordion refers to the local effort. Since Nordion and TRIUMF were ahead of the curve back then, what are they doing now? What is in their crystal ball? More of the same? Unlikely. Because business competition does not stand still, nor does scientific research. Innovation is the key to survival, not just growth.
We think the commercial future is in adding value to the isotopes.
Nowadays, medical isotopes are the raw materials; these isotopes (atoms) are combined with special molecules to form radiotracers - the added-value products. The future lies in chemistry and designer molecules that target certain locations in the body.
Let's use a well-known example. In cancer, tumours often have receptors on the surface of the cancer cells. It is possible, through modern chemistry methods, to design a molecule to attach to certain of those receptors on the tumour.
If a gamma-ray-emitting medical isotope is attached to the molecule, it is possible for the physician to image the tumour with a nuclear-medicine camera. But if the same molecule can be labelled with a second medical isotope, one that emits an alpha particle, then the tumour is not simply imaged but the alpha particle damages the DNA within the cancer cell and the cell is destroyed.
This combination of search, signal and destroy is the ultimate goal. Work on this approach is proceeding all around the world, in Canada and in B.C.
Nordion has recently invested in TRIUMF's nuclear-medicine laboratories. In the new labs, Nordion chemists will work side by side with TRI-UMF and UBC chemists to develop these new designer molecules and their special isotopes. Various types of medical isotope - some new, some old - will be explored with teams of physicists, engineers and technicians. There is a subtle dance between the isotope and designer molecule that must fit together, and most importantly be appreciated and handled appropriately by the human body. All of these steps must work in harmony. That's what the research focuses on.
It is sometimes hard to notice when global historical changes are under-way, but this quiet revolution may be taking place under our collective Canadian noses. Nuclear medicine is undergoing a transformation world-wide, moving from diagnosis to therapy, and Canadian researchers have strapped on their ice skates and are ready to innovate and compete.
The team of TRIUMF, Nordion and others is planning on a big win.
Nigel S. Lockyer is the director of TRIUMF. Jerry Porter is general manager, Vancouver operations, at Nordion Inc.
TRIUMF is a national laboratory owned and operated by a consortium of 17 universities across Canada. Core support comes from the federal government with capital assistance from the B.C. government. With a staff complement of nearly 450, the laboratory has been at the forefront of particle and nuclear physics for more than 40 years. A core competency of the laboratory is cyclotrons, machines that accelerate subatomic particles to high speeds and direct them as intense beams onto target materials.
The Nordion team in Vancouver includes about 40 people. In total, the local Nordion activities generate significant economic benefits for B.C. Using provincial input-output models for the B.C. economy, a report prepared as part of TRIUMF's Five-Year Plan (2010-2015) estimated that the Nordion plant generates an estimated $18 million in total annual GDP, a total of 189 full-time equivalent jobs and $1.7 million in total annual provincial revenues.

Designed and constructed a number of soft surface hiking trail segments, including low and high bridges of varying lengths and wayfinding signage - as called for in the 2003 Marquam Hill Plan and using the preliminary alignments determined by public process in 2007. Using PP&R's 2009 Trail Design Guidelines, the new trails were designed to responsibly expand hiking options within the park while preserving the habitat and other environmental values and functions. The project provided key pedestrian connections between the surrounding neighborhoods, OHSU, and the Terwilliger Parkway and eliminated a network of unsafe demand trails that damage habitat and water quality. Funding was provided by a Local Share of Metro's 2002 Greenspaces Bond Measure.

New grocery store opening in downtown Albuquerque
If you look around downtown Albuquerque, you can see buildings and restaurants, but not any grocery stores. City officials decided on Thursday to go with a plan to build a store and living space in town.
Three contenders where whittled down to one bid with a unanimous vote. A piece of land on Silver Avenue, between Second Street and Third Street, will soon be an $8 million four-story complex. Plans include a ground-floor bistro and a specialty grocery store by L'Petite Louis Bistro.
The goal is to bring a unique feel to a plot that sat empty for more than five years and filling the need for a grocery store to people who live downtown.
"For all the foodies in downtown Albuquerque and the surrounding area, it will be something that will be a place they love to go and love to shop," said developer Paul Silverman.
Developers hope to get the building process started in a few months after plans are approved. Once developers receive approval, they said it will take at least 15 months to complete the construction process.

Chestnut Hill Youth Sports Club Commissioner
On a beautiful fall afternoon last Saturday, the Blueberries defeated the Crasins 2-0 to win the 2010 championship of the Girls U-13 Intramural Soccer League of the Chestnut Hill Youth Sports Club.
The Blueberries, who finished second to the Craisins during the nine-match regular season, scored in each half of the match while controlling the ball throughout the match. Each team advanced to the finals by recording wins via penalty kicks in semi-final matches held earlier in the day.
In the first match of the day, the Crasins out-shot the Green Mambas on penalty kicks after playing to a 1-1 tie in regulation and two overtime periods. The Blueberries followed the pattern, knocking off the Hornets in penalty kicks after playing to at 1-1 tie.
This year the league increased its format of play to a near full-sized field, and the girls showed outstanding development over the course of the year. The leagues' four teams were well balanced and competition improved week-by-week. The league is very popular and continued success is envisioned for next year.

Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway Appeal
"The current COVID-19 pandemic has brought the temporary closure of this 100% volunteer operated Heritage Railway, which normally runs steam and heritage diesel services along the Chiltern foothills between Chinnor and Princes Risborough."
Railway running costs
We have just under five miles of track including sidings, several level crossings and 10 miles of lineside boundaries to maintain, irrespective if trains are running or not. The Railway is not only wholly operated by volunteers but many of them fund it as well. The Railway's fixed unavoidable costs are £8.25 an hour, £198 a day, or £6,000 each month, and that's before running any trains!
"Fortunately, 2019 was a good year for us, with over 63,000 passenger journeys made, plus extra income generated from filming and training contracts. This allowed us to make significant investment plans for 2020 in the Railway's infrastructure and facilities while also strengthening our reserves; but the longer this closure carries on the more we'll eat into those reserves that are earmarked for future investment".
These in turn will hinder us from offering reduced prices for families, seniors and less-able visitors, or hosting disabled and disadvantaged groups who would not normally be able to enjoy any outings from care homes etc.
We would very much appreciate your immediate support
We are now faced with a long period without any income being possible and advance bookings being refunded or moved to future dates.
Locally to us we are very grateful that iLECSYS, based in Princes Risborough, are making regular contributions to the Railway to help ease the situation.
Certain organisations, such as The Branch Line Society, have been kind enough to tell us they do not want a refund for their tickets purchased for the March gala event, but to treat the advance tickets purchased as a donation.
Some intending passengers have been equally generous, understanding as they do that the survival of the Railway for future generations to enjoy, is wholly at stake.
The longer this crisis goes on - only donations from more of our visitors and supporters will allow us to keep the Railway in good shape enabling us to reopen.
We still have legal obligations to comply with, and to ensure the Railway and boundaries remain safe, therefore inspections will continue to be carried out in line with Government health advice.
We rely on family outings and tourism which is now in crisis.
Why support the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway?
We are very aware there are many worthy causes for your cash to support. The Railway supports many volunteers, young and old. For many, it is a major part of their life, keeping them fit and socially active. In the case of younger volunteers, it helps them learn practical skills useful in the workplace, experience they would not otherwise gain.
The Railway has been here for nearly 150 years and operates in a beautiful area supporting many local businesses from B&Bs, pubs to chip shops. They and the community will suffer with us, especially in the long term if there is no Railway after this crisis to attract tens of thousands of visitors annually to the area.
Please donate
If you can, please donate to help support the Railway made easy by visiting our funding page (from £5 or however much you can help, please!). This will help preserve the line which in addition to providing a 'family' for all volunteers, assists many to join the rail and tourism industry.
The Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway is so much more than a Heritage Railway, it is at the heart of the local community, and a vital asset.
Thank you for your support, it is really appreciated.

"Good experience — with a few caveats"
" I began my search online, and received a quote from Joel. Based on information on True Car and other sites, the quote seemed fair so I scheduled a test drive. When I arrived at the dealership, Joel wasn't there so I dealt with Mike Knutson. Mike was very friendly, courteous, and informative. After the test drive we went inside to discuss and complete the sale. I was dismayed the no employees had masks on (early July 2020 mind you), especially since my husband has serious health issues, so I kept my mask on and tried to keep my distance from everyone. Mike was pleasant and efficient, he didn't try to sell me tons of unnecessary add-ones, and we made the deal. The paperwork was completed by Scott (don't remember last name), and everything was fine until he tried to sell me the extended warranty. I felt slightly pressured, but when it became obvious to Scott that I wasn't going to buy it he said "you should go home and talk it over with your husband", and patted me on the shoulder. What? WHAT??? I bit my tongue, finished signing, and left with my new truck. As to the Ridgeline RTL-E, I love it. It's easy to drive, very comfortable, and fills all our needs on our small farm. Think I made a good choice. "

" I just bought a Honda CR-V from Doug Smith the other day and he was wonderful. I have never had a better experience in dealing with a "car dealer". He was patient, respectful and thorough! He knew I came in there for what I wanted and he made it happen! Sean, the manager, made sure I walked out of there with the price I wanted! Thank you both! Howard in finance made it a breeze to get me into my car! Thank you Southeastern Honda- I will recommend you to all my friends and family!! "
"Everything was completed as promised when promised - no..."
" Everything was completed as promised when promised - no last minute surprises. Everything was handled professionally and courteously. Salesman was very knowledgeable about the vehicle and took time to explain them to me. Mike did an excellent job. I wish were as good. "
" My wife and I purchased our newest car from Southeastern Honda preowned cars dealership. Our sales associate was Doug Smith during our shopping experience at this location. Doug was the best car associate I have ever worked with concerning purchasing a car. As most "Car Salesman" are over the top pushy and in your business Doug was not. So I do not get long winded, I love to the art of negotiating and Doug was calm, collected, and very helpful. If you are ready to purchasing an automobile at this location please request for his assistance.The other thing I personally enjoyed was not have a boastful General Manager in our discussion of purchasing a 2018 black Honda Accord sport. My last purchase of a car at another dealership felt like I was in a traveling carnival with the GM. So kudos to the GM at Southeastern Honda for not telling me I was getting the greatest deal of a lifetime. (That greatest deal was my trade in.) Finally, my wife and I were pre-approved for the purchase through our credit union. The on site financial account was able to get a lower APR with our same credit union that lowered the monthly payment. Thanks to him also.In conclusion, the experience of purchasing another car was superb at the dealership. I would recommend them for service, price, and hospitality when purchasing your newer automobile. I offer a 5 stars rating concerning the purchase of our car. "
" BRIAN RADCLIFF was so amazing!! he presented a deal i could NOT resist!! and without hurting my pockets! thanks so much Brian and Southeastern Honda for the very pleasant experience. i will return with family and friends!! "
"New Car Transaction"
" Ty was very friendly and helpful. There was no pressure. Transaction was hassle free. The experience was very different from purchasing vehicles in the past. "

The young American painters have always worked on the front lines of artistic development. Today's need for a new visual language and the new aesthetic style pushes artists to think outside of the traditional painting and sculpture media and to investigate the world of technology for new tools and mediums for expression. Evident today, in the circle of the young American painters, is a growing need to investigate all the set definitions concerning the material and subject matters. We witness a revival of abstract art, and a new movement coined Zombie Formalism, along with the focus of many artists concerning issues of identity. The need to find one's space in the world has transcended itself onto various canvases, walls, and has allowed for a multidisciplinary approach to art making which pushes and often erases the definitions of various mediums. Concerned with the exploration of different materials, from spaghetti and dirt to bleach and anesthetics, various unconventional techniques have been employed in the path of their aesthetic advancement. Among numerous names, there is a respectable growth of young painters that successfully apply such technical explorations to produce extraordinary art and discover new ways of thinking about the medium. The following list of young painters from America features a couple of well-known names we believe deserve wider attention, as well as some of the biggest discoveries that have been presenting groundbreaking works during the last decade. Looking at their extraordinary works of art that keep on pushing the boundaries of the medium in intriguing and unexpected ways, we are sure that contemporary painting in the US is in safe hands and is not afraid to allow the different approach of creativity and a different language of their stories.
Editors' Tip: Masterworks of American Painting at the De Young
Covering the past and the painting production during the colonial period and the present, the 117 essays in this book, stand as a survey of art in America. In addition to the paintings from some of the most notable collections, such as the Rockefeller Collection, the book explores the production of some of the most celebrated modern and contemporary American painters. From lavish color illustration examples and interpretation of the subject matter and approach to painting of Georgia O'Keefee, Charles Demuth, Chiura Obata, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Richard Diebenkorn, Wayne Thiebaud, and Ed Ruscha, the book offers an insight into contemporary production as well by covering the display de Young in San Francisco. Whoever wants to get an insight into the much celebrated American painting production, needs to look no further.
Eddie Martinez is a renowned painter and sculptor from Brooklyn, New York, widely known for his extraordinary mixed media paintings which often incorporate markers and spray paint, fused together with oil paint, all applied in aggressive manner and in contrasting combinations. These surreal and powerful abstract paintings and found object sculptures, so remarkably strong and of certain muscular type, are the result of various influences that shaped Martinez's unique style, most notably those of urban culture and modern masters. Showing his deep understanding of painting history, the images and motifs featured in his artworks include cartoon-like ducks, skulls, and clowns, filtered through coarse brushwork, extraordinary use of line and masterful manipulation of color. Last year works of Eddie Martinez were on display at Kohn Gallery, as a part of his solo exhibition titled Nomader. which received wide international acclaim and huge public interest.
The extraordinary creative output of Josh Smith, renowned visual artist from New York, includes collage, sculpture, books, prints and ceramics, but what he is most famous for are his paintings that feature letters of his own name as their subject, and explore ideas of authorship and originality. Through this extraordinary approach, Smith addresses painting through various historical references and deprives his canvases of representational and abstract traditions to boldly question the function of the medium itself. In his magnetizing collages, Smith combines newspapers, drawings, photocopies and posters and creates instant abstractions made from recycled and trivial materials, which he then paints over with an impoverished aesthetic. Smith's works can be found in numerous public collections including the Centre Pompidou, MUMOK, the Whitney Museum of American Art and MoMA. Some of his works are currently on display at MoMA, during its ongoing The Forever Now show.
Julio Reyes is a contemporary figurative painter and former promising soccer player from Los Angeles. He is widely praised for his mesmerizing paintings that depict beauty surrounded by a weary world. As a child, Reyes was diagnosed with partial colorblindness, having difficulties distinguishing red and green, as well as blue and purple. But this highly talented artist managed to turn his handicap into an advantage, creating predominantly monochromatic artworks that have an exceptional appeal and power to them as the result of his subtle use of color. Reyes is a true master of painting who manages to achieve a delicate balance between visceral realism and ethereal concept in his works. Often beginning with a charcoal drawing, and gradually building up layers in oil or tempera, Reyes paints blocks of color that appear photorealistic when seen from a distance, but become more abstract and gestural upon closer inspection.
Keltie Ferris is an acclaimed American contemporary painter, educated at Yale's art school and now living in Brooklyn. Ferris is best known for her large, multi-layered paintings that depict glimmering pictorial spaces, inspired by various subjects including digital image pixelation, New York City graffiti and city lights that are visible from her Brooklyn studio at night. The balance and symmetry in Keltie Ferris's paintings invite their viewers to discover underlying grid formations, hidden beneath the layers of color and different styles of application, created by broad brushstrokes and smudged colors. Ferris finishes off her captivating artworks with arrays of dots and dashes of spraypaint and then returns with contrasting colors, adding short strokes performed in parallel arrangements around the previous layer. Here you can have a glimpse of Keltie Ferris' extraordinary creative process.
Los Angeles-based contemporary painter Nathan Hylden has been gaining rapid recognition ever since his first and critically acclaimed solo show eight years ago. Hylden is widely praised for his cutting-edge artworks that use rigorously conceptualized processes in order to investigate the philosophical relationships between emptiness and meaning. Despite their conceptual and technical tightness, Hylden's paintings are neat and greatly pleasant to the eye. For hist most famous 2010 series of nine paintings, Hylden devised a strict technical process which consisted of painting canvases with holographic gold, stacking them in arrangements on the floor and spraypainting the overlapping sections in yellow, before finally stenciling black stripes onto each piece. The result were extraordinary artworks, intrinsically related by virtue of their genesis and aesthetic, yet each rather unique.
Nathlie Provosty is an emerging and highly talented painter from Brooklyn, New York who has been growing widely popular in the last couple of years. Within Provosty's acclaimed and most famous Doubleu series, she paired matte and oil paint into closed forms, opening the space with their reflective surfaces and tenuously squeezed outer edges, implying multiple, open-ended associations. As viewers approach these mind-bending pieces of art from a distance, Provosty tricks them into discovering that pictorial space in the work is not as flat as it appeared from a distance, despite the apparent reductivism of her monochromatic palette. Nathlie Provosty is a recipient of several highly respectable awards, including the Rosenthal Family Foundation Award and American Academy of Arts and Letters Purchase Prize. In 2013 she provided an eye-catching artwork for Bryce Dessner's solo album Aheym, creating the piece that significantly increased her visibility in the contemporary art world.
Ryan Estep (1980) is an emerging contemporary artists from Brooklyn, a rising star who has been stirring up the art world in the recent years. Every day he is garnering more and more attention with his shadowy abstract paintings created in rather unique and unusual manner, using unconventional materials such as lipstick, drywall mud, dirt and even lidocaine. Eschewing traditional methods of painting, in one of his critically acclaimed series Estep used an industrial kiln to sterilize soil before he sifted it in careful patterns through a metal screen onto the glue coated canvases, smearing them when he removed the screen. On the other hand, his large scale lidocaine paintings are sparse, monochromatic and industrial looking, with their edges painted with a mixture of black pigment and anesthetic that makes him to temporarily lose sensation in his hands as he attempts to re-stretch the wet canvas on its frame, establishing an extraordinary dialogue between material and body.
Ryan Wallace is a critically acclaimed painter, sculptor and installation artist from Brooklyn, New York, and one of the most respected American contemporary artists of younger generation. He is known internationally for his rather complex artworks, tactile abstract collages he creates using materials such as shredded tape, vinyl screens, wax, and other discarded and everyday objects. These extraordinary materials play the crucial role in Wallace's works and are used with an intention to invoke the aesthetic qualities they are not usually associated with, cleverly deceiving viewers into seeing them as paintings, and not as mixed-media works of art. The graduate of the renowned Rhode Island School of Design and the recipient of the 2011 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, Ryan Wallace has shown his exceptional paintings, works on paper, installations and sculptures in numerous venues around the world.
Sam Falls is a multi-talented contemporary painter, photographer, writer and videographer of international renown, whose captivating works combine photography, painting, and sculpture, exploring the ways in which color, digitally manipulated photographs, and natural processes work together in a single piece of art, investigating artistic potential of each medium. His painted photographic prints combine airbrushed acrylic paint and abstract photographs while cleverly incorporating external elements such as variations of light, space, and time, with the intention to raise questions about perception and how we relate to various media. Sam Falls' works can be found in several permanent collections, including the International Center of Photography, Bidwell Projects, the Statoil Collection and MOCA Los Angeles. In addition to being picked by Artforum as the Best of 2011, Sam Falls was also chosen as one of Forbes' Top 30 Under 30 and was featured by Modern Painter as one of the 100 Artists to Watch.
The production of the Texas-born artist Justin Adian occupies an in-between space and helps to visually illustrate the theoretical thinking regarding the place of sculpture and painting. The artist breaks away such divisions and focuses on the creation of the minimal abstract objects - wall-mounted reliefs from foam shapes, which Adian beforehand covers with oil enamel or spray painted canvas. The adding of color to the shapes, in fact, separates the object from the wall and gives it a new identity of a free-standing sculpture. Playfulness and free-spirit decorate the creativity of the artist whose 2015 first solo exhibition in the UK was most talked about work during the Frieze Week.

The work of Torey Thornton honors experimentation, use of different materials, and the tradition of painting and sculpture. His abstracted forms, and play with form, color, scale, and perspective, are all tools with which the artist investigates viewer's perception. Thornton's paintings allow for a very personal and individual reading and understanding from the audience, creating a sense of openness and ambiguity. Few were known to describe his work as shadows, ghost-like images through which a new world vibrates. A sense of familiarity and surrealism is all at once present in his work, which has, in most recent years received much praise from the art public.

Featured twice, in 2013 and 2014 on the Forbes list of 30 under 30 in an 'Art and Style' category, Lucien Smith knows all about what it is to be popular and what the face of loneliness is truly like. Through the influence of pop-culture, books, art history, but most importantly nature, Smith's abstract paintings are often created by minimalistic tools, such as loose brushstrokes in his Rain Paintings, or form camouflage-style patterns, resembling Andy Warhol's production, in his Tigres series. Often seen as one of the representatives of Zombie Formalism, Smith helps to create a new understanding of painting, and with it explores the revival of abstract art.

The stereotypes surrounding the Black Female body, the Harlem-born artist Tschabalala Self, both accepts and rejects with the need to create an alternative, often fictional body that will attack the predisposed ideas. Her constructed bodies examine the intersectionality of race, gender, and sexuality with the help of the traditional painting and printmaking disciplines, along with the combination of color, fabric and dry leaf visible in her Tropicana painting series. Self's both strong and feminine images have made her one of the most important emerging American artists today.

Collapsing the two dimensional and three dimensional space, Tauba Auerbach's Fold series received much acknowledgment. This young and experimental artist, works across many disciplines, including painting, artist's books, photography, and sculpture. Her early work was influenced by the investigation into the limits of the language. Incorporating typography, text and design, her work explored various linguistic systems. Recently her paintings focus on abstract patterns, order and randomness. Taking inspiration from mathematics and physics Auerbach explores the limits of our structures and logic.

Rosson Crow is famous for her large scale vibrant paintings. Blending historical allusion and theatrical illusion, her paintings present nostalgia-laden interiors. Taking inspiration from a variety of sources, including Baroque and Rococo interior design, cowboy culture, Las Vegas architecture, theatre and music, Crow has created her own and unique style. Big, bold, and fun are the usual three words used to describe her work. Last year, for the occasion of her exhibition at Honor Fraser, Crow added filmmaking to the mix and has produced her first feature film Madame Psychosis.

Constantly challenging himself, the Oakland-based artist Brendan Monroe explores the world. His interpretations of the world are mostly rooted in science and then transformed onto the canvas or as a sculpture. From time to time, the artist accepts few illustrations commissions, and his work is also known to decorate few facades of various buildings. The power of his work is reflected through the tension between reality and surreality that give his images strength and allure.

Neprilysin (NEP) is a transmembrane metallopeptidase normally expressed by a variety of tissues. It is also known as neutral endopeptidase, and enkephalinase. NEP cleaves peptides at the N-terminal side of hydrophobic amino acid residues and is responsible for the degradation and inactivation of a variety of physiological substrates. NEP is a major extracellular amyloid beta-peptide degrading enzyme in the brain and targeting NEP is considered a potential therapeutic strategy for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. NEP has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. The SensoLyte® 520 Neprilysin Assay Kit employs a novel internally quenched 5-FAM/QXL® FRET substrate for the detection of neprilysin activity. The enzyme cleaves the FRET substrate into two separate fragments resulting in the release of 5-FAM fluorescence, which can be monitored at excitation /emission= 490/520 nm. The long wavelength fluorescence of 5-FAM is less interfered by the autofluorescence of components in biological samples and test compounds. The assay can detect as low as 0.78 ng/mL of active Neprilysin.
The Kit contains:
5-FAM/QXL® 520 Neprilysin substrate, Ex/Em=490/520 nm upon cleavage 5-FAM Fluorescence reference standard, Ex/Em=490/520 nm Recombinant human Neprilysin 2X Assay BufferInhibitor

Duke The Dog Elected Mayor In Cormorant, Minn. – WCCO
The new mayor of a Minnesota town is just 7-years-old, and he doesn't say much.
Voters in Cormorant elected a dog named Duke by a landslide. The 12 people in the village each paid $1 to cast a vote.
After winning, Duke got 5 hours of grooming and a new outfit.
Duke will be officially sworn in on Saturday during the city's annual fair.
As for the mayor's salary, a pet food store is donating a year's supply of kibble to reward him for his service.
The village of Cormorant is located in Northwestern Minnesota.
At 7, Duke is far from the youngest recent mayor in Minnesota. Bobby Tufts won the post when he was just 3 years old. He was recently unseated by Eric Mueller, who is a well-seasoned 16 years old.

In 2012 I was looking for ways families could help their children learn new languages and I came across a company producing language learning products specifically for children in a multitude of different languages: Dino Lingo!
For families looking to teach young children a new language at home (homeschoolers, children who haven't yet started school, after school practice, etc.) this is a wonderful option! The program is geared toward younger children who are learning a first foreign language – if that is what you are looking for, then read on!
Dino Lingo French
Parents contact me all of the time requesting information and tips for how to teach their children a new language. I often point parents to Dino Lingo since they have such a comprehensive program. As we all know, starting a language when we are young is the best time to start – what better way to help your children take the first steps toward multilingualism! Check out what Dino Lingo has to offer! It might be just what your family is looking for when it comes to teaching your children French.
Here is a rundown of the Dino Lingo French language program:
- First 200 French words & phrases: The program focuses on a set of 200 words (used in isolation and in context) and phrases that your child will be able to master by the end of the program. Since the words and phrases are repeated often, children are given the opportunity to work on hearing the intonations and imitating the sounds of the language as much as possible.
- Full French immersion: The program is presented in the target language from start to finish, using context to help children associate the words and phrases with their meanings. This is not one of those programs that go back and forth between English and French (or providing English translations along the way). This can be important for children learning a language since the associations between the words and their meanings will be made directly (rather than through translation).
- Fun animation: Dino Lingo's main characters are animated dinosaurs (if you haven't guessed that by the name). The characters are adorable and the animations are fun, yet they are able to include a lot of repetition so that children have the chance to hear the target words and sentences repeatedly. I like that the context is varied between these fun animations and real-life scenes. It helps to keep children interested and involved in the lesson.
- French subtitles: To aid in word pronunciation, recognition and retention, French subtitles are included in all of the Dino Lingo DVDs. This is great because it means that exposure to French written words takes place as your child learns the language.
- Specifically for children: What really impresses me with the Dino Lingo French product is that it is made specifically for young children. It is not an attempt to adapt a language learning program originally created for adults (which rarely works!). Children's language learning depends on variation, enjoyment, repetition and engagement – all of which Dino Lingo provides.
What Is Included?
- The package includes 5 DVDs (region free) which cover the following categories:
DVD 1 – Let's Count : Numbers and colors / 35 min.
DVD 2 – Let's Eat : Food, fruit and vegetables / 35 min.
DVD 3 – Let's Play : Toys, house items, vehicles / 35 min.
DVD 4 – Let's Jump : Verbs, actions and nature / 35 min.
DVD 5 – Let's Learn : Family, body parts, and clothes / 35 min.
Daily conversations, greetings and animals are included in all five DVDs.
- 150 French language flash cards for kids
- French vocabulary book for kids
- French poster set for kids
- World map
- A dinosaur plush toy
- Dino Lingo coloring book
- French children's songs CD
- French flag
- Parents' guide for teaching children a foreign language
- Progress chart and report (Full Home Education sets and Basic sets)
- Free US Shipping or worldwide shipping at a reasonable rate
This is a great online language program for families who want to help introduce their children to the first 200 words of French. Bilingual families, who speak French at home, could use this product with their young children but it should be noted that children may already know the words and therefore may not learn anything new.
Whether or not your children already know most of the first 200 words of French that are included in this program, we encourage you to use it as a jumping off point for additional parent-directed language learning each day. The supplemental materials are ideal for this but it will most likely take some initiative on the parents' part to make it happen.
The program has a variety of elements to it and follows a regular sequence. The fact that it is full immersion French is fantastic since is gives children the chance to learn the language direct context! We also appreciate that it doesn't overwhelm with full sentences all of a sudden. It does introduce these throughout the program which gives children a chance to get used to using the vocabulary in context.
We would encourage parents to be involved as much as possible while their children learn French with this product. This will have the most impact on each child's language learning. The DVDs on their own are not enough. For the greatest impact, parents will need to help their children use their newly learned vocabulary in as many contexts as possible (grocery store, going for a walk, driving in the car, etc.) and with as many of the included supplemental materials as possible. The picture dictionary and posters will come in handy for this – use them before and after each lesson!
As advertised, this program focuses on the first 200 words in French. Parents should not expect that their children will become fluent after using this program! However, children will most likely have a fun time picking up top vocabulary, pronunciation and a general sense of the French language (which is the most important part of language learning). We feel that this program is a great way to help children get started with a brand new language! If your children can master these first 200 words with Dino Lingo, they will have a great foundation upon which to build!

Hi people, I'm new here!
I have decided to write a small program to learn myself Java. i have created a function that should catch a mismatch exception and respond by asking for the data to be entered again. However, it does not work when I enter purposefully erroneous data.
When I enter a String (should be an int) the loop goes round constantly. Not sure if its na infinate loop but i always end up resetting the Java Virtual Machine.
The code:
public int doPubYear() { boolean done = false; int pubYear = 0; while(!done){ try{ System.out.print("Year of publication: "); pubYear = keyboard.nextInt(); done = true; } catch(InputMismatchException e){ System.out.println("Error with input - try again."); } } return pubYear; }
I have :-
at the top.import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.InputMismatchException;

Use a loop that does not exit until the user says OK by entering the special value.not sure what to do to make my program do it all over without ending.
What does your code currently do? I see a while loop that tests for the ending value. Does that work as you want?
Please put your code inside of code tags. Info here: Java Forums - BB Code List
Basically the program is to continue until I type no. So I could enter one odd number and then enter 0 get the below output
There are 1 odd numbers in the sequence
There are 0 even numbers in the sequence
Do you wish to enter another sequence (yes/no)?Yes
Program continues and asks me for an integer, and I keep entering until I type 0
I enter 5 odd and 2 even numbers output would be:
There are 5 odd numbers in the sequence
There are 2 even numbers in the sequence
Do you wish to enter another sequence (yes/no)?no
When I choose no the program should terminate.
I assume that the value of the askUser variable is false when the user enters: "no".
What does your code do when the value of askUser is false?
You didn't post the rest of the code in while loop. You seem to have changed the original code to something new and have left off some of it.
That is all the code I have right now. If I post the rest of it in the while loop, will it not always print out everything in it every time I enter a number? I am sure I tried putting it in all in the while loop and every time I entered a number it would print the odd and even and ask me if I wanted to enter another sequence, even though I did not type 0.
Can you post what is printed on the console when you execute the program?
Add some comments to that output showing where you want the program to work differently.
Also post the full code that you are using. What you have posted now does not compile.
The formatting of your code is very poor.
Please remove the extra {} and line up the {} that you have
and indent the code inside of the {} to show what level the code is nested at.

enter an integer:5
enter an integer:4
enter an integer:5
enter an integer:5
enter an integer:4
enter an integer:0
There are 3 odd numbers in the sequence
There are 3 even numbers in the sequence
Do you wish to enter another Sequence?(Yes/No)?Yes
enter an integer:5
program ends.
You will not be able to run the program. Our teacher gave us an input helper that they made so we do not have to error check, it does it for us.
That is why you see InputHelper.askUserForAnInt in the program.
I would have to send you the InputHelper file for you to compile the program.
I can replace the InputHelper without no problem.
But I can't help you with your code without seeing your code.
Why does the program end after the user enters the 5?
What code is supposed to prevent the exit of a loop? Is there a variable that needs to be reset?
Here is the spec that I need to do.
Functional Requirements of Finished Program
At the start of the program, the user is to be prompted with:
Enter an integer:
If the user types a non-zero integer, the program must respond with the prompt:
Enter an integer:
If the user types number 0 the program prints the number of odd and even integers in the sequence excluding 0 as follows:
There are XX odd numbers in the sequence.
There are XX even numbers in the sequence.
... where XX is replaced by the appropriate value.
After this the program must continue to prompt with:
Do you wish to enter another sequence (yes/no)?
The net effect is that the user is continually prompted to enter sequences of integers, until he or she wishes to stop. Note that the user is allowed to enter a sequence of 1, 2, 3, or more numbers. There is no limit to the length of the sequence. Note that the user is allowed to enter 1, or more sequences of numbers. Any integer is legal, including negative numbers.
I guess the main issue I am having is, the while loop works, and as soon as you type 0 the program stops to give you the number of odd and even numbers and then asks you if you want to enter another sequence. If you say no the program ends. The problem I have is how to I initialize it back into the loop, or do I need another loop, if I type yes to enter a new sequence how do I use that while loop again, since Java starts from top to bottom, how do I re-use that loop after saying yes to enter a new sequence so it does all the adding up again.
Just put all the code inside a loop.
boolean loopDone = false; While (!loopdone) { //Odd Even code here //if user says stop program then: loopDone = true; }
Thanks all.

//just move int oddNum = 0; int evenNum = 0; //below this line while (askUser == true) {
This is the answer for your problem.
try, this code it is going exactly what you want...
import java.io.*;
public class number
public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException
boolean askUser;
int enterNum;
int oddNum = 0;
int evenNum = 0;
DataInputStream d=new DataInputStream(System.in);
System.out.println("enter a number other than 0 -- : ");
enterNum = Integer.parseInt(d.readLine());
while (true)
if (enterNum % 2 == 0)
evenNum ++;
oddNum ++;
System.out.println("do you wish to continue--enter (true/false)");
askUser = Boolean.parseBoolean(d.readLine());
if (askUser == true)
System.out.println("enter a number: ");
enterNum = Integer.parseInt(d.readLine());
System.out.println("There are " + oddNum + " odd numbers in the sequence");
System.out.println("There are " + evenNum + " even numbers in the sequence");
When you post code solving a students problem, can you add comments to it explaining how it works and why.
Also please put your code in code tags. Info here: Java Forums - BB Code List

We recently profiled students at MIT's Sloan School of Management and Columbia Business School to find out what it's really like to be an MBA student at an elite school.
Yale School of Management (nicknamed SOM by its students), another elite program with a 19% acceptance rate, isn't your traditional MBA program.
SOM launched an integrated curriculum based on the 9 constituencies that a manager must engage and lead. There aren't the strict departmental silos of marketing, microeconomics, corporate finance you'll find at other B-schools.
It's pass / fail, so competition among students is inherently less.
We caught up with Lauren Coape-Arnold, a first-year student who recently left the hedge fund world to attend Yale.
"SOM is unlike other Wall Street feeder schools," says Lauren. "Although – to set the record straight – I have plenty of friends going through banking recruiting."
The integrated approach was what drew Lauren to the program. That, and "SOM just welcomed a new superstar dean and is in the midst of building a new gigantic facility, so all signs were leading me to New Haven," Lauren tells us.
Lauren moved to New Haven from New York City in August after working as the Director of Maverick Capital Foundation. Before that, she was an analyst at Lehman Brothers.
We were interested in getting an inside look at it all, so we asked Lauren to bring her camera around with her during a jam-packed Monday on campus.

Question: "Why are there times in my life when finding God is so difficult?"
Answer: Some of the most promising and spectacular words ever spoken by God are found in the book of Jeremiah: "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you" (Jeremiah 29:13-14). And sometimes, in our quest for finding God, it appears that He wants to remind us of this extraordinary promise to us. We're deeply troubled, so we fervently pray. We're distressed, so we cry out to God for relief. But sometimes all we hear in reply is silence—a silence so deafening it drowns out every thought but this: God isn't listening. So we ask, "Has God abandoned me?"
Many believers have experienced these feelings and asked the same question. After C. S. Lewis lost his wife to cancer, he called out to God for comfort but sensed no reply. Confused, he asked, "What can this mean? Why is He so present a commander in our time of prosperity and so very absent a help in time of trouble?"
The Scriptures speak of cries of help, cries of distress, calling for God in times of great need and turmoil: "Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again? Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?" (Psalm 77:7-8).
"O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still" (Psalm 83:1).
At times our spiritual lives are like this. We think we know where God is, where we stand in our relationship to Him and yet, one day, something changes. We lose a job, our spouse wants a divorce. Even good changes, such as a job promotion or the birth of a child can bring about a sense of uncertainty. Some have referred to these unexpected changes in life as "divine interruptions." As exciting as some of these changes can be, they can interrupt our feelings of well-being, and they can leave us feeling very much alone and forgotten; so we question: "Where is God anyway? Why am I having such a difficult time finding God?"
It's important to remember that the promises of Jeremiah 29:13-14 are never nullified by subjective feelings. Because we feel that God is far from us doesn't mean He is. In fact, He has told us that He will never leave us or forsake us, and since He never lies, we have to hold onto what we know about God's character; therefore, we reject incorrect conclusions about our circumstances when those conclusions contradict what we know about God from His Word.
For the key to "finding" God, we have to go back to Psalm 77. After the psalmist laments that God has rejected him and His love has vanished (vv. 7-8), he comes to his senses and writes verses 11-12, giving us the two-part solution to feeling abandoned by God: "I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds." First, he determines to remember God's deeds and His miracles. Just remembering how God saved us from a life of futility and an eternity in hell should give us a proper perspective on His love. When we remember the many times He intervened in our lives in the form of answered prayer, we are reminded of His faithfulness. Some people find it helpful to keep a journal of answered prayer which they can refer back to in the "dry" times of doubts and confusion.
Second, the psalmist determines to meditate on God's works and His deeds. Meditating on God's Word is the only sure way to come to right conclusions about God. Those who are "blessed" in Psalm 1 are those who mediate on God's law—the Bible—"day and night." It delights us (v. 2) and makes us strong, fruitful and able to withstand life's storms without withering (v. 3). But if we neglect the Word, we neglect the only means of sanctification in our lives and leave ourselves open to the lies of the devil, who would like nothing better than to convince us that God has abandoned us.
Jeremiah promises that when we seek God with all our hearts, God will be found. As the hours turn into days, and the days turn into weeks, dare to be one who's on a never-ending quest to find God in every single day, to remember and meditate on His mighty words, and to welcome His "divine interruptions."

Set to be displayed to the public at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next month, television manufacturer LG is going to show off an 84-inch 3D Ultra Definition (UD) television that's capable of 4K resolution. Designed to display a pixel density that's four times any 1080p television, the 84-inch behemoth offers a resolution of 3840 by 2160 or eight million pixels. The flat panel utilizes a embedded 2D-to-3D conversion engine that allows viewers to watch 2D content in a simulated 3D format. In addition, consumers can play with the 3D Depth Control to modify the 3D effect that's being created during the 2D-to-3D conversion process.
LG also offers the ability to control sound processing with the 3D Sound Zooming function which allows users to digitally place themselves within the 3D sound field using only the front two speakers. The panel also connects to the Smart TV application storefront and allows the user to peruse and install up to 1,200 different applications on the television. LG has dubbed the control for the television as the "Magic Remote" and it will include voice recognition technology for controlling television functions as well as gesture control similar to a Nintendo Wii control.
Similar to the massive displays from Sharp and Panasonic that were displayed at previous trade shows, this panel is unlikely to be within the financial reach of the majority of consumers. It's likely designed to pull in crowds of people at the show in order to promote other LG products like the recently announced OLED panel that's the world's largest at 55 inches as well as super-thin flat panels that are no ticker than a pencil. No pricing has been released at the time of the announcement and LG hasn't released any information on the amount of 3D glasses that come with the 84-inch panel or the cost of those glasses.
