Romania's Defense Minister Mihai Fifor has announced a number of goals for 2018
Many states in the region are interesting in buying 8x8 armored modular vehicles, which will be manufactured in Bucharest, Defense Minister Mihai Fifor has told Radio Romania. The Romanian official says the authorities want to channel a large share of the 2% GDP defense spending to go to the defense industry. Romania could thus become an important producer and exporter of state-of-the-art weaponry. Mihai Fifor:
"We need to reset our defense industry by means of sustainable investment, so as to become a regional hub for weapons production. One of the major points in Romania's national program aimed at modernizing the Romanian army refers to the 8x8 multi-role military vehicles, which will be produced at the Bucharest Armory. Many countries in the region are interested in becoming clients of this manufacturing plant, which is very good news".
The Defense Minister spoke in detail about two other programs meant to modernize Romania's military. Minister Fifor says the first multi-role corvette made in Romania will become operational within three years. Shipyards in Romania could also manufacture as many as three military submarines. Mihai Fifor:
VM TRACK: "Our submarine warfare program, which provides for building three submarines for the Romanian Navy, is an important step towards boosting the Romanian army's warfare capabilities. We plan on manufacturing these submarines, as well as the four multi-role corvettes in a Romanian shipyard. In Thursday's Government session we will pass a Government decree allowing us to launch the multi-role corvette program. The first corvette will be operational within three years".
A NATO member since 2004, Romania last year allotted 2% of its GDP to defense spending, a policy carried over in 2018 as well, aimed at ensuring the security of this geostrategic region. Mihai Fifor told us more:
VM TRACK: "2018 is the second year in a row when Romania allots 2% of its GDP to defense. Whereas in 2017 we tried to spend this amount as efficiently as possible, in 2018 we need to show maturity in achieving our goals".
According to the Romanian Defense Minister, 2018 is an important year, as Romania will play host to a NATO summit in July, devoted to security in the Black Sea region.

Morning all!
Yesterday I painted and finished several items that have been hanging around a few weeks. A new design is a ceramic tile titled, Coyote Howling at the Moon - new ones always take more time to get it right. I "erased" aka washed off, this design several times before I was happy with it. The other items are ceramic tiles for memorial of fur babies which are personalized, bookmarks of a labradoer, greyhound in black silhouettes, sketchy grapes for us wine lovers, and whimisical ladybugs.
Since my back and hip were spasming BIG time, it was good to be in the studio and forget about my pain, at least try. Funny how the mind works - not focusing on pain and getting distracted works, at least for me.
My website hours were way tooooo long to be "open" - wanted to change the hours to time I actually spend in the studio which is NOT 7 days a week. Nope, just 3 days a week, off and on. After all, there is other life "out there"!
Seraching for notes to make the change took me a while, plus an email to my web builder person, to figure out how to accomplish this simple task and such. Ta Da!!!! Its all on my Square site, under Account Settings, Business Info, and Business Profile - duh! This time I wrote it down in my address book with all my Square info. Growing older has caused my multi-tasking abilities to lessen just like everyone else. Oh well, makes for better days doing things slower and not worrying about items running together. The brain gets too cluttered with requests at times ya know! My calendar and habit of writing down my goals for the week/month/year has helped a lot. When did I have time to work outside of our home?
Mission Accomplished!!!!Hours were changed, my phone number removed, and this blog started. On to other details of my "morning as an artist so far."
My ceramic tiles had to be sealed, so off to the garage to spray the sealant, making sure no dust was around. Hard to do at times. I get ahead of myself and rush.
Had to set up the camera, haul everything outside on the front porch to my trusty porch chair (my Mimi's from the '50s I've moved around for decades), and set the "stage".
Thank goodness for the tripod! Makes excellent balance and easy to manuever around. Set up the tiles of Allie, Bugsy, and Phoenix (fur babies who have crossed the rainbow bridge), made group and individual shots - good!
Set up the Coyote Howling at the Moon - took several pix, including one with cactus in bloom. Looking good and going well!
Bookmarks were last - I had hammered in a straight pin on the top slat of the chairback to hold the bookmarks steady. It's been a while since I took bookmark pix so I had forgotten to use the ribbon to hold it straight instead of the ribbon hole. The bookmarks were at odd angles then it hit me - duh! Use the ribbon to anchor the bookmarks! Pix turned out great - so I thought....
Back inside to download the camera and do editing. Oh. My. Goodness!!!! Glaring pieces of dust, unpainted areas, errors in placement, no signatures, and glare of light! Have to take another set of pix after fixing errors, and such. You are thinking, "why didn't you see it on the camera?" This camera doesn't show the errors until I get a BIG pic on the computer when editing AND a tiny 3"x2" screen is hard to see details.
It's after noon. I've done no painting today, as planned. The day isn't over - yay! So far I have "just" worked on the website, sent emails for follow up on orders, and taken pix, downloaded, uploaded, edited, and such.
Off to have a little lunch and rest my back and hip. Here 's the only pic I liked from the photo session - a bookmark for those who love to read while drinking wine but often have trouble with their last place. ha! ha!
Later folks - remember art isn't always perfect - neither are we!

Cloud MSP Magic Quadrant – Life in the top right
Top Right. There it was, right before my eyes. Proudness, excitement and relief. All felt at the same time when I first opened the Hyperscale MSP Magic Quadrant preview sent by Gartner. At Cloudreach it was our first experience entering such a process and we had no idea where we stood until the results came back.
I was never in doubt about our ability and expertise as one of the leading organisations in this space. We are the only cloud-native organisation with multi-continent operations capabilities (Ops centres in UK and Canada) for both AWS and Azure. And we have worked with hundreds of customers supporting their cloud journey. The list goes on, but this is not a promotional piece of text. What I didn't know is how an organisation like Gartner would view us given our uniqueness and innovative thinking when delivering our services.
So, why did we enter it?
Why wouldn't we? We were invited by Gartner to take part, which is an honour in itself as they recognise us as a significant player in this space. Secondly, this was "right up our street". What was being evaluated is exactly what we do. Never before had I seen a Magic Quadrant we could have entered, but this one fit like a glove. And lastly, we are nothing without customer and market recognition as leaders and innovators. If we didn't make it to that top right corner we should work on getting there, by working on improving customer experience and market alignment alike.
There's a bit of cynicism about Magic Quadrants. What's my view?
It's no secret that there is a bit of cynicism or even major upset about Magic Quadrants. The same is true about all analyst research. Some people think it's biased based on strong relationships or that there is a "pay-to-play" model. Although I can't know this for certain, I have no reason to believe that it applied to us, as we don't fall into either of those categories.
A Magic Quadrant will always be a mixture of objectiveness – market presence, breadth of offering, etc – and subjectiveness – Gartner's opinion as the market experts. But one thing is for certain, Gartner are incredibly thorough. We were asked to share proposals, order forms, delivery documents, sales and marketing strategy, the list is endless. On top of that, a significant list of our customers were surveyed independently.
After being through it, my personal view is that this is a well thought-out process and one that requires a huge amount of effort not only from the applicant but also from Gartner. We have taken part in other analyst's research, who have produced significant reports based on a 1-hour call with us. The Gartner process takes weeks and involves an excruciating level of detail. So whether you agree or disagree with its conclusions, the sheer thoroughness lends the Magic Quadrant some solid credibility.
Are we happy with it?
Did I mention we're in the top right? In all seriousness, I'm particularly happy that both Gartner and our customers, who were extensively surveyed, recognise us as leaders in what we do. As an organisation we have always prided ourselves in very high standards in terms of delivery and sales materials, legal framework, documented processes and strategy. This clearly pays off when you go through any external "audit", so I'm quite pleased with the fact that we can confidently continue doing what we do in this area.
It's also great for our customers who get yet another reassurance that they have chosen the right partner to help them with their cloud adoption journey. It also gives an incentive to keep up the good work, so we move up and right at the next version of this Magic Quadrant.
One thing to note is that although the Magic Quadrant specifically refers to Cloud MSPs, this exercise covers much more than that. Great part of the documentation and use cases involve cloud governance, security, build, configuration and, of course, managed services. This means that Gartner recognises these organisations in more areas than just our 24/7 operational services.
Also, based on the information available to them, most of Gartner's assertions about Cloudreach (strengths and cautions) are broadly fair. Interestingly, we have the highest score in "ability to execute" amongst all entrants. This should mean that we're the most capable pair of hands to address our customers' needs.
What's next?
Since being through the Magic Quadrant exercise, we announced that Blackstone acquired a majority stake in Cloudreach. This will bring us additional scale capabilities (my thoughts in another blog post). If you read through the "cautions" section in the report, you will find that this investment partnership is broadly aimed at addressing those.
With the backing of one of the world's largest investment firms we will build upon current success to broaden the vision and deepen our strengths. So, I'm feeling pretty bullish that we will become the undisputed leader in years to come. Further up and to the right!

The Doppler shift is something we are all familiar with. The classic acoustic Doppler shift is observed every time an emergency vehicle goes by with its siren on. When it is approaching the tone sounds higher than when it is receding from us. This is because the sound emitter is moving as it emits and this compresses the wavelength for sound traveling in the same direction as the emitter. For sound emitted in the opposite direction, the sound wave is stretched and the tone lowered. The Doppler shift also effects light, making colors emitted by excited atoms either redder or bluer depending on whether they are receding or approaching.
Although we tend to think of the Doppler shift as something astronomical, with the red shift providing a distance measure for observations, spectroscopists also encounter the Doppler shift every day when measuring the colors of light that atoms (and molecules) absorb. This is because the atoms are moving all the time and the light they would normally absorb at rest is red or blue shifted depending on whether the atom is moving with the light or into the light. Since the atoms are moving in every direction with a distribution of speeds, the atoms absorb a much broader range of colors than its natural properties would lead one to expect, this is called Doppler broadening.
However, the translation movement of the atoms is not the only Doppler shift available, rotation can also lead to a Doppler shift. This rotational Doppler shift is considerably smaller than the translational Doppler shift making it hard to observe. In addition, to observe rotational Doppler broadening the atom must gain or loose a unit of angular momentum during the absorption. Light beams carry their angular momentum in the way the orientation of their electric field changes. Linearly polarized light, where the electric field oscillates in a plane, has no angular momentum. Circularly polarized light, where the electric field traces out a circle, has spin angular momentum. However, the observation of rotational Doppler broadening requires light with orbital angular momentum, called twisted light because the electric field traces out a crazy corkscrew (see the movie*).
To observe the rotational Doppler broadening, researchers illuminated a cell of Rubidium atoms with two twisted light beams. These two beams were aligned such that the translational Doppler shift and a smaller Doppler shift due to the curvature of the light wavefronts exactly canceled out leaving only the rotational Doppler shift. The light beams imparted the atoms with an angular momentum equal to the difference in angular momentum between the two beams. When they had the same angular momentum, no Doppler broadening was observed and the natural absorption of the atom was found. However, as the angular momentum difference between the two beams was increased, the Doppler broadening increased.
The rotational Doppler shift, as seen through the broadening of an atomic absorption line was predicted a while ago. Indirect observations had indicated that it was probably as predicted. However, a direct observation is always the best way to confirm something and it is good to see it happen. It also gave me an excuse to make a cool movie.
*This movie is not just a twisted light beam, however, it shows all the right features.

i connect my Digital Camcorder JVC GR-D815 with firewire but i don't have the drivers.
is there anyone who can help me?
Try this: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=drivers+for+di...
More than likely the drivers are on the User disc that came with the camera... did you try that?
i don't have the disc
Did you try the link?
yes i did but this driver is for usb connection, my camera connects to pc by firewire
Usually the programme you are using will see the camcorder once you hook up. I have a Samsung camcorder and U use EditStudio 6... I have never had to install any driver! Do you have a User Manual?

Introduction: Aging is not only a population phenomenon but also an experience and an individual reality. Vital Aging® is a program that considers active aging as the lifelong adaptation process of maximizing health and independence, physical and cognitive functioning, positive affect regulation and control, and social engagement. Through its different versions and editions, it has demonstrated being an effective program to promote active aging. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the "face-to-face" and "combined" versions of the program to promote active aging in Mexican older adults trial.
Methods: Seventy-six older adults aged 60 years and over participated in a quasi-experimental study and were recruited in a senior center to participate in the two experimental conditions: Vital Aging face-to-face (VA-FF) (n=35) and Vital Aging combined (VA-C; multimedia/face-to-face) (n=15), and the remaining 26 adults were assigned to a control group. Pretest and posttest assessments were performed after the theoretical–practical intervention. Mean differences and size effects were calculated for estimating the effect of the program.
Results: At the end of the study, participants showed improvements in the active aging outcome measures. Positive effects were observed in the frequency of intellectual, cultural – artistic, and social activities, perceptions of aging, satisfaction with social relationships, and self-efficacy for aging. Additionally, those who participated in VA-FF showed better memory performance, meta-memory, and a trend to report less memory problems, while older persons in VA-C showed a trend to have better life satisfaction. No effects were observed in physical activity, frequency of social relationships, and subjective health.
Conclusion: Findings show that the Vital Aging program in face-to-face and combined versions encourages active aging in Mexican older persons. These results are in general similar to those found in editions performed in Spain, revealing its consistency as a cross-cultural practical initiative for promoting active aging.
Keywords: Vital Aging, active aging, intervention program, successful aging

New York, NY (April 29, 2018) – Retired professional boxer and Army Public Affairs Officer Boyd Melson was inducted to the Jewish Sports Heritage Association Sunday, April 29.
A 501(C)(3), the Jewish Sports Heritage Association, INC is an educational organization dedicated to educating the public about the role Jewish men and women have played in sports and showing Jewish youth that there is nothing they cannot achieve.
All honorees were introduced by Master of Ceremonies Barry Landers at Temple Israel in Lawrence, NY. Each honoree then give a speech and received a plaque from the Jewish Sports Heritage Association.
Following a solid amateur career, Melson had an 18 fight pro career and finished with a record of 15-2-1 with 4 wins by knockout. He won the WBC USNBC 154 pound title in 2015 and retired in 2016. While his pro career was definitely a success, Melson's ultimate goal was to raise funds and awareness for multiple causes including chronic spinal cord injuries and narcotics addiction.
Between donating 100% of his fight purses, private donations and charity galas, Melson helped raise close to a half million dollars. Shortly after his retirement from pro boxing, Melson announced he was running for Congress in District 11, covering Staten Island and South Brooklyn. He was considered one of the top candidates and had strong support.
In December 2017, the selfless Melson withdrew from the congressional race, volunteering to serve our country in Iraq. In offering to get deployed, Melson assisted another Army Reserve member that received a special opportunity domestically in the Reserve that would greatly benefit her family.
Currently in Iraq, Melson was elated when he was notified of this special honor, which was accepted by his mother Anette, Uncle Leo and retired Coloniel Alessi.
"Here we are. Earning an honor that was a product of me following what my heart beats with divine love, and having to receive this honor in harms way due to me making a choice that is consistent with my heart's values. I find myself here helping by doing my part to defeat the ugliest and most horrific form of human endeavor I have ever experienced. While doing this, I am highly aware that the people I am helping, who are extremely welcoming and friendly, might look at me through a different lens if they knew I was and am Jewish. It is an interesting paradox. This honor I am receiving is solely dedicated to my Zayda and my Bubbe.
My Zayda left his body five years ago, and my Bubbe is one of the last Holocaust survivors on this planet. My Zayda was conscripted to serve to fight the Nazis in World War Two. HE SURVIVED. He created a family after surviving that absolute evil, and brought them all here to the United States. I am because of him. I am an American Citizen, born in this great country, because of his courage and strength. I think about this daily with where I am now, and I do mean daily. My Zayda put on a military uniform to fight an evil similar to how I am doing today. His spirit was close to my soul when I made this choice. I know I am being honored for being what I completed as a Jewish professional athlete, and I thank you. Please forgive me however for placing a much greater important at this moment, as an African American, as a Jew, as a West Point Graduate, as an Army Officer, as an athlete, and as a HUMAN BEING, on the narrative I gave above. That is what is sitting on me here. I hope one day, that every individual in this part of the world who we are helping, and who may not have kind feelings towards Jews, learns that Jewish American military servicemen came here and helped them because it was right and because we swore an oath. I see it as my responsibility being Jewish,being an American, and being a soldier."

Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Problems with https login
what is the web site made with?
Since you're asking here, I will assume you mean sites built with openacs.
First, there is the web server itself, which is usually aolserver, which was designed from the start for fast web apps. It has a built in scripting language, TCL, which is used for aolserver config files and for application scripting.
Openacs and apps built using it use a database. There are two supported databases, postgres and oracle.
Finally, openacs itself is a collection of tcl scripts, database scripts and a plugin infrastructuire which allows packages and their development to happen independently of other work; you can write packages which are applications and packages which are support of other packages.
These packages can have user interface (which is normally templated html), a data model which describes how data for the package is stored and how it relates to the rest of the openacs data nodel, a library containing TCL procedure definitions and a catalog of internationalized/localized phrases and sentences.
For more info, see http://openacs.org/

It's not unlikely that they are cooperating too. It's common around the world that companys works hand in hand with intelligence organisations. Unfortunately, my knowledge about China and Chinese cultural habits could be better, but I'd be a bit surprised if the same doesn't hold there. It could even be that, those Chinese companys are owned by and run by Chinese intelligence.
I think we can rule out Anti-P2P organisations and Scientific researchers by know.
Looks like some of the ID's that was attacked yesterday isn't attacked today. Many others still are, though. Perhaps they are running a round-robin on the list of blacklisted keywords?

Most people find thanksgiving to be a relaxing holiday, where you can shut-off your brain and enjoy a stress free day. Fantasy football players in the midst of a playoff run disagree. We see three games packed with high impact fantasy players. Some of them will leave you feeling as content as a stomach full of turkey, others will make you go back for that second slice of stress eaten pie.
Case Keenum: Sit
Keenum has been hot, putting up 872 yards and 7 touchdowns the last 3 weeks. Keenum also has a tendency to turn over the ball; with 5 interceptions in his last 5 games. The Lions D/ST, currently ranked 4th in fantasy, is averaging 1.1 interceptions a game and 2 turnovers a game. The Lions are at home, on Thanksgiving, in prime-time, and in what is likely a must win. I'm sitting the turnover prone Keenum in what looks like a huge trap game for owners finally willing to give him a shot.
Phillip Rivers: Start
I rarely advocate for Rivers, however, this match-up is undeniable. The Cowboys are giving up, on average, 239 yards and 1.8 touchdowns a game to opposing quarterbacks. It's been worse over the last two weeks, where the Cowboys D/ST have given up the 12th most fantasy points to opposing offenses. In stark contrast, Rivers has been surprisingly solid; putting up 486 yards and 4 touchdowns the last two weeks; 235 yards and 2 touchdowns of those yards came against a Jacksonville defense that's embarrassed most quarterbacks this season.
Samaje Perine: Start
As we wrote earlier this week, Perine is a must start this week against a porous Giants defense. Perine, is averaging 4 yards/carry but has failed to see a significant volume behind Thompson and Kelley. With both of those backs out for the foreseeable future, we can expect Perine to see 20+ carries again. I'm expecting at least 80 yards and a touchdown, making him a solid RB2 or fantastic flex option.
Alfred Morris: Start
Lost amongst the offensive mess in Dallas is two surprisingly strong rushing performances by Morris. He's averaging 5.1 yards/carry on his 28 attempts since filling in for Zeke. If Morris can be that productive with a dysfunctional offensive line and unintimidating quarterback play, can you imagine what he'd do with some redzone opportunities? Morris' volume and yards/carry makes him a solid flex play against a Chargers defense that is likely to hone in on Dak.
Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick: Sit
The Lions running game has been non-existent. Cover your ears Abdullah truthers, but this guy just can't perform. Over the last three weeks (against Green Bay, Cleveland, and Chicago) has just 122 yards on 44 carries (2.7 yards/carry) and has only 4 receptions for 25 yards. Theo Riddick is equally unplayable; with just 88 rushing yards and 8 receptions over that same span of games. You shouldn't play them against any team, but especially not against a defense that just shut down Todd Gurley to 37 yards.
Wide Receivers
Stefon Diggs: Sit
Take away his monster start to the season, and you find an unimpressive WR. In his last four games, Diggs has just 141 yards on 13 receptions for 1 touchdown. The Lions defense has given up the second least amount of points against WRs the last two weeks. This makes for a bad combination for fantasy owners who have better choices. Treat Diggs as a WR3 and only start him with low expectations.
Adam Thielen: Start
Forget what I just said about the Lions defense, because Thielen in match-up proof. Thielen has at least 5 receptions in every game this season. In 6 of those 10 games he's put up at least 96 yards and has a touchdown in each of his last three games. Thielen is the most underrated WR1 moving forward, and he's a must play in any match-up.
Sterling Shepard: Start
Shepard, by default, has become the top receiver in a recovering New York Giants offense. Shepard has 22 targets in his last two games and has pulled in 72% of those looks for 212 yards. Shepard missed last week with a migraine but should play huge on turkey day against a Redskins team that always struggles against the Giants. Shepard is a solid WR2 option in PPR leagues.

If you're like me, the first thing you think about when you walk in a hotel room is whether or not the sheets are clean. After reviewing the information provided by Katie Kirsch, an undergraduate student at the University of Houston, I may have to change my priorities. Kirsch led a team that swabbed various surfaces in hotel rooms then tested them for microbials. The results are little stomach turning.
The study was conducted Texas, Indiana, and South Carolina. It was relatively small in scale only evaluating 3 rooms in each state. The study sought out aerobic bacteria, which is the kind most likely to make one sick. The bacterial measurement is called colony forming units or CFU. So who were the big offenders? Well, as expected, the toilet and bathroom sink had high levels of bacteria. What might be less expected however, was the TV remote and the main light switch for the room. Let's put it this way, in hospitals the cleanliness CFU goal is less than 5CFU per centimeter squared. The TV remote measured close to 70CFU per centimeter squared. The light switch was a whopping 112CFU per centimeter squared. Yikes! Another major problem they found was in the cleaning tools used by housekeepers. For instance, the sponges housed enormous amounts aerobic bacteria which presents a risk of cross contaminating room to room.
The study was not meant to be a scare tactic but rather, it was done as a first step to introduce the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system to the hotel industry. This system was originally designed by NASA as a way to prevent dangerous chemicals and microbes. The food and healthcare industries already use this system to prevent unwanted encounters with biological and chemical hazards. Kirsch said, "Hoteliers have an obligation to provide their guests with a safe and secure environment. Currently, housekeeping practices vary across brands and properties with little or no standardization industry wide. The current validation method for hotel room cleanliness is a visual assessment, which has been shown to be ineffective in measuring levels of sanitation."
Kirsch presented her findings at the 2012 General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. You can watch the video via the YouTube link below.

The LG Optimus 2X or the T-Mobile G2X is the current favorite phone of the CyanogenMod team. In fact, Cyanogen himself uses this phone. All this, just because the handset does not have a locked boot loader.
The Cyanogen team has already started working on bringing CyanogenMod 7 to the Optimus 2x and the G2X. The CM team has even started cooking out CM7 based nightly ROMs for the handsets.
Since this is a nightly ROM, Optimus 2X and G2X owners should keep in mind that there will be some bugs and issues with the ROM.
CyanogenMod is the best AOSP based Custom ROM out there. In its latest version, the ROM is based on Android 2.3.x Gingerbread, and packs some useful features like Profile Support, Theme Manager and DSP Manager.
The LG Optimus 2X/G2X is the most powerful phone to be supported by the CyanogenMod team until now. Hopefully, the CM team will also support the upcoming dual-core monster the Samsung Galaxy S II. It has already been confirmed that the Galaxy S II will have an unlocked boot loader.
Interested Optimus 2X/G2X owners should head over to this link to download CM7 nightly ROM for their handset. For more information about CM7 on the LG Optimus 2X/G2X, users should head over to this thread.

Exercises of approximation (mainland/island-mainland/island) II: Amanohashidate.
Saturday, 13 October
The first day of a 7-day-trip.
Attracted by its shape, I visit Amanohashidate: a thin strip of land (over 3 km long) connecting two sides of mainland/island.
Although it is a scenic view, the panoramic perspective from the mountains located on either side of the bay neither allows me to experience its shape nor to document it through time.
I need to encounter it.
I take a ferry (roundtrip) through the inner side of the bay (Asoumi sea) and film the land and the water. At some points, it is possible to see the water of the other side (mouth of the bay) through the spaces between the pine trees.
I rent a bike and cross along the sandbar. It takes about 15 minutes. Half hour roundtrip. On the east side, there is a sandy beach. I stop to have a sense of the water in my feet and have that closer perspective recorded.
The night falls around 5:30 pm and I have the chance to see some fishermen slowly moving in the water.
By the time I get to the north side, the darkness is deep and get lost when cycling back to the hostel.
I have started documenting my encounter with different pieces of land/soil (mainland-island or island-island), my transfer between them. I have also started documenting the water on which the ship travels.
through these exercises of approximation, I experience distances. The time of the approximation depends on the "joining vehicle". http://air.ongoing.jp/?eid=187

It could be endless.
Culinary Welcome Party
Sunday, October 7
Since I arrived in Tokyo, Art Center Ongoing has been a continuous comings and goings, holding cultural events of diverse nature. So it's no surprise that yesterday's evening, the day my welcome party was planned, we also celebrated the closing party of Art Fair Ongoing (10/4-7). The fun, however, didn't end there, since I could also get to know some TERAKKO or TERATOTERA (https://www.artscouncil-tokyo.jp/en/what-we-do/creation/hubs/teratotera/2158/) volunteers. Moreover, we did so and enjoyed the most amazing fish I have eaten since I arrived. Nishioka-san, one of the participants in TERATOTERA Art Project -event which, by the way, is directed by Nozomu-, bought "sea bream" and "yellowtail" from Tsukiji Fish Market.
A few days ago this historical fish market closed its doors (https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/tokyo-tsukiji-fish-market-toyosu/index.html), so Nishioka-san decided to buy the last fish in the market and prepare it at the party of the art center.
He wasn't the only one involved in making of this evening a great culinary event, another TERAKKO whose family lives in Hokkaido (Northern part of Japan, that is well known for good seafood), was sent lots of "saury" and decided to share it with us at Art Center Ongoing.
I must confess that at some point in the evening my western way of thinking made me went through a moment of confusion. I was supposed to introduce myself and make a presentation of my work but when and where should that happen? The evening had become rather a culinary event in which diners participated in a nonstop parade of delicious foods and drinks. So I was surprised when at 9 pm, as planned, Nozomu made some free space on the table we were eating from and plugged on the projector. I took my laptop out my bag, connected it and suddenly everyone stopped talking. These people had just shown to me once again how respectful they are.
They listened carefully and, although I had the feeling everyone could understand my English, Megumi translated everything I said to ensure the best communication. It was my first experience being translated, so it took some time to get used to it and to stop every couple of sentences.
Among the works I talked about, the performance "Vanishing Office" and the permanent installation "Codex", both a collaboration with some friends of mine from the Art School in Kassel, turned out to be of most interest. Some of them found politically incorrect to destroy so many books. This wouldn't happen in Japan -they said: "books are History, part of our culture". I explained to them the exact nature of the books used for the project but didn't try to change their way of thinking. I am aware the piece may be quite controversial. It was any way interesting for me to hear their opinions. In the end, some of them ended up discussing between them, whether it is ok or not to keep every single "book" or printed issue we have, old or new...
Entering the treasure cave. Kintsugi workshop at ROKUJIGEN
Leaving Ogikubo Station behind and facing the west to the railway track, I pass several fast food restaurants, pachinko locals and a karaoke bar. Some meters further the street becomes narrower and a couple of typical restaurants and a shrine contrast with the neon-flashing lights, which prevail around the station. Next to a ramen shop, a metallic staircase leads to the place I am looking for. There is no street number, no sign. I walk up and down the street several times until I finally find it. It is like a treasure cave, dark and full of precious items and -of course- almost impossible to find... thousands of books are piled up to the ceiling while others serve as bases for a variety of pieces of ceramic tableware. I am excited about this encounter of mine...
By the time I arrive, there are already around 10 persons sitting inside, each one in front of a free deck area, with a selection of tools prepared to be used and, although I arrive on time, I feel as if I was late.
No one speaks English except for a woman. Nakamura -the owner and who leads the workshop- frees up a seat next to her.
I receive two objects. Each one has a small fracture on the edge. We receive instructions on how to proceed. I don't understand anything, so my helpmate translates the main information. I don't mind not understanding it all. I look at Nakamura's gestures and enjoy the participant's reactions. I hear the trains go by. Sometimes everything vibrates. Just a little. However, everyone keeps focused on their work. It feels like being transported to another time.
I leave the place after having expressed several times my gratitude in English and the few words in Japanese I know. I have lost track of time. It's been three hours. No, almost four. I feel excited, tired and happy all at the same time. I am grateful that I enjoyed this evening. I am grateful to my friend and artist Arisha Kawabe, who told me about this place, and of course to Nakamura, for sharing his knowledge with us.

Man dies in Gravesend flat fire
PUBLISHED: 16:48 15 May 2018 | UPDATED: 16:48 15 May 2018
A man in his 50s has died following a serious flat fire in Parrock Street, Gravesend on Sunday May 13.
Three fire engines attended the blaze, which broke out at around 7pm.
All four flats within the block were evacuated as crews extinguished the fire and a high pressure fan was used to clear the building of smoke.
A spokesman from Kent Police said: "Officers attended and provided support to crews from Kent Fire and Rescue Service and the South East Coast Ambulance Service.
"A man in his 50s was pronounced deceased at the scene and the circumstances are not being treated as suspicious.
"A report will be prepared for the coroner."
The cause of the fire is not yet known.

When you go camping, you are supposed to leave the campgrounds "better off than when you arrived" so others who come along later will be able to enjoy the area, as well. Shouldn't the same principle hold true for our state government? When they adjourn their session, shouldn't we expect them to leave the state better off than they found it? Unfortunately, the recently completed short session proves the North Carolina General Assembly is ignoring this principle.
From a fiscal standpoint, the General Assembly began this year's session with a modest $150 million budget surplus — despite a struggling economy. This says more about N.C. entrepreneurs than it does government's stewardship of our dollars. Nevertheless, as the months ticked by and each unemployment report worsened, the General Assembly did nothing to address the economic slowdown. While just about every U.S .household was cashing its economic stimulus check from the Federal government, the N.C. General Assembly was writing a budget that is out of balance, authorizes nearly a billion dollars in new debt and ignores a number of emerging crises.
First, according to the N.C. Constitution, the General Assembly must pass a balanced budget —which means, unlike Congress, it's not allowed to spend into a deficit. The state's revenues and expenditures fall in to two types: recurring and non-recurring. Recurring revenues and expenditures are those that can be counted on every year, while non-recurring means they are a one-time infusion or expense. The budget passed this year spends approximately $160 million more in recurring programs than it receives in recurring revenues. Thus, budget writers next year start off $160 million in the red because those recurring programs are automatically funded in perpetuity.
Second, this year's budget authorizes $857 million in new debt, mostly for university construction projects—all without voter approval. It also includes planning funds for an additional $1.2 billion in future debt obligations – again, mostly for the UNC system construction projects and without voter approval. This authorization of more than $2 billion in new debt will likely use up all, if not more than, the current debt capacity for the state, leaving North Carolina maxed out on the amount of money it can afford to borrow for the foreseeable future. Hoping for relief from crowded highways through a transportation bond? Want relief from crowded schools via a school construction bond? You are probably out of luck. Prison projections also show the state will need another 7,000 prison beds in the next eight years. But we can't afford any of this now. The insistence of this General Assembly to burn up the state's unauthorized credit card for university building projects has tied the hands of future governors and legislators who will face the challenge of building more roads, more schools and more prisons – a recipe for higher taxes or dramatic spending cuts.
Third, the General Assembly was aware of, but took no action on, the nearly $150 million hole in the funding of the State Health Plan (some estimate this deficit to be closer to $225 – $250 million). Isn't it strange how the General Assembly just happened to "discover" the problem just a few days after it had passed the budget, which allowed them to continue to fund pet projects without having to make the necessary sacrifices? Nonetheless, the General Assembly decided to take no action to solve the problem, leaving it over to the next governor, and next year's Legislature to fix. The one fix that did pass the House, but didn't pass the Senate, was to raid $100 million out of the state's savings and reserves fund (aka The Rainy Day Fund) that is designed to be a safety net in case of a severe economic downturn. The General Assembly put no new money into this fund in 2008, despite a budget surplus and despite the fund being below the statutorily required level.
The legacy of this General Assembly will be one of setting the state on the course to financial ruin. A budget that is $160 million out of balance, a state health plan underfunded by at least $150 million (not to mention the approximately $25 billion in future retiree health care costs coming due), and a maxed-out credit card with no debt capacity to meet the challenges of a growing state. Unlike their Washington, D.C. counterparts, our elected officials did nothing to address our struggling economy by cut taxes or rebating back to the taxpayers the $150 million budget surplus, which would have helped to create jobs. They also failed to address any of the major infrastructure needs facing our state: roads, schools or prisons. Instead, they spent everything they had and ran up the credit card for an additional $2 billion – all the while passing the buck on making any tough decisions for fear of it harming their electoral chances.
Don't be surprised in the next few years when many of these same elected officials show up hat-in-hand to ask for huge tax increases. Their financial mismanagement caused the problem, and you're the only one who can bail them out. It's time the voters held the General Assembly accountable, not only for its actions in setting the state budget up for failure, but its inaction in addressing the real problems facing our state.

A monument commemorating the revolution's martyrs will be inaugurated in Tahrir Square on Monday.
Prime Minister Hazem Beblawi announced in October that the Cabinet had assigned the governor of Cairo to plan the building of a monument in Tahrir Square "commemorating the martyrs of the two revolutions of January 25 and June 30."
Recently, grass was grown again in the garden in the middle of the square. The area had been left bare, barring the occasional resodding, over the past two and a half years of intermittent protests and sit-ins. The garden's soil was soaked with blood of protesters killed under the watch of different governments since the start of the revolution in 2011 is now bright green again, and a monument is rising in the middle of it.
The National Salvation Front announced that it would participate in the inauguration of the monument on Monday.
"This monument is a symbol that Egyptians were able to change their reality after they had accepted it for 30 years, it proves that these people are alive and will never go back," George Ishak, leading member of the Front told Mada Masr.
Olfat Mohamed, whose son Islam Abdel Wahab was killed in Sayeda Zeinab on January 28 2011, is happy that something is being done to commemorate the martyrs' memories, however she does not believe that it is meant for her son.
"I can't go, what does this monument represent? Who does it represent? Of course the government will aim it at the martyrs who are being talked about now and not those who were forgotten," she says.
However, she still hopes that when tourists come and see the monument they will be reminded of her son and those who died with him.
Mohamed says that she feels that the June 30 demonstrations overshadow the initial revolutionary wave of January 25, and that her son and the others who died in 2011 were forgotten.
As for retribution, which martyrs' families want much more than a monument, Mohamed says she has lost hope.
"We don't know who killed them and now that the police and the military are one hand, our rights are gone forever. Only God will give us retribution. We are the vulnerable people and they're stronger than us," she concludes, after two years and a half of waiting.
Among the comments on pictures of the monument on social media, some who oppose the current government considered the monument to be an attempt to create a distraction from what they called "the bloody coup" that removed Mohamed Morsi from power.
Many activists reacted to the news with concerns that it is a part of an ongoing campaign by the government and military rulers to put a closure to the revolution and discourage further street action to protest the current situation.
"There is a systematic effort to falsify history, which includes the building of the memorial, and named streets after martyrs like Jika and Cristy," says activist Nazly Hussein.
Hussein also sees the monument as an attempt to blur the lines between the January 25 revolution which is more widely acknowledged as a revolution of the people, and 30 June which remains controversial as some consider it a revolution and others a military coup.
"They want to say that we have martyrs and you have martyrs, we're all the same and we're together now." she says. "This could have been accepted if there was retribution against their killers."

Things to Ask During a Job Fair
Attending a job fair even if you are not actively looking for a job is a good idea because it gives you a chance to network, gather information and practice interviewing skills. Of course, if you are actually seeking a job the stakes are a lot higher. Either way, you will learn more and make a better impression if you arrive at a job fair with a list of questions designed to get relevant information.
About the Organization
At a job fair booth, a representative often starts with a brief description of the organization and asks if you have questions. A good way to respond is to ask for information to expand on what you've just learned about the company or other organization. Inquire about the company's products or services. For a government or nonprofit organization, you might ask for more information about its mission and goals. You can also ask about possible work locations, the size of the organization and how many employees work there.
Career Questions
Ask about in-house training, professional development options and how employee performance is evaluated. You might inquire about future positions you would like to achieve and what is required to earn promotions. Questions of this type also give you a chance to let the recruiter know something about your career goals.
Once you have a feel for what an employer does and the opportunities available, you'll want some specifics about hiring requirements. Find out if a position you are interested in calls for experience or specific education and licenses. Ask what skills the organization is looking for. If you are a student, find out if internships are available and what courses you can take to prepare you to work for this employer.
Hiring Procedures
If an organization appears at all promising, you need to know what to do to follow up on the contact you've just made at the job fair. Start by asking the organization's representative for his business card and ask permission to contact him later with follow-up questions. Inquire how to find job openings when the organization posts them. Don't forget to ask how to apply. Many organizations want you to submit an initial application online, so you should get the web address.

On December 13th, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, in conjunction with Columbia University's Institute of Latin American Studies and supported by NYU's Mexican Student Association, hosted a panel discussion that delved into what Trump's presidency means for Latin America. The discussion was led by Global Distinguished Professor of Politics and Latin American and Caribbean Studies Jorge Castañeda, and the panel also included John H. Coatsworth, Provost at Columbia University, and Arturo A. Valenzuela, Senior Latin America Advisor at Covington & Burling LLP and former Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs in the U.S. Department of State.
With over 150 attendees, it is clear that the need for academic spaces to discuss the reality and feasibility of Trump's campaign promises is extremely relevant. This event discussed the deeper implications that President-Elect Trump might have on the region, with the panelists providing their expert opinions on the subject. Castañeda kicked off the conversation, and believes that for Mexico, "the Trump presidency is an unmitigated disaster." He continued, stating that the Mexican government, and other Latin American countries, should take a hardline approach against Trump, especially hot button issues like renegotiating free trade agreements, mass deportations, and in the case of Mexico, the proposed border wall.

Japanese Economy Minister Akira Amari resigned Thursday, fending off corruption allegations following a magazine report that he had accepted money in exchange for political favors.
At a packed news conference televised live, Amari acknowledged taking money from a construction company executive but said he told his aides to correctly record them as a political donation.
Amari — a chief architect of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's plan to revive the world's third-largest economy — denied wrongdoing but apologized for causing "concern and trouble" and undermining public trust in the government with a "very embarrassing situation."
Amari said he was stepping down to prevent the scandal from being a distraction to the administration's drive to pull the country out of deflation.
The corruption allegations surfaced last week after the magazine Weekly Bunshun reported that Amari and his aides accepted at least $103,000 in cash and hospitality from the unnamed construction company.
As economy minister since late 2012, Amari, who is 66, has been one of the most trusted members of Abe's Cabinet. He also served as Japan's top negotiator for the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact.The government says former environment minister Nobuteru Ishihara will replace Amari.
With Amari's departure, Abe has lost a key ally as he prepares for an upper house election later this year.
According to The New York Times, Abe has used monetary easing by the Bank of Japan and other economic measures - a package known as Abenomics - to reverse the deflation and sluggish economic growth that have plagued the country for much of the past quarter century.

Back on growth track
Beijing's policy easing has worked. China's GDP increased at a 9 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2011, a faster pace than the 8.3 and 8.5 percent pace in the previous two quarters. The GDP increase goes along with bank lending, which has been exceeding expectations since October, and with December's encouraging data on industrial production and retail sales. The risks of a hard landing in the first quarter of 2012 are now lower, but excessive policy easing could spur unwanted inflation.
The headline showed GDP increased by 8.9 percent over the previous 12 months. That annual rate was a two-year low. But on a quarter-on-quarter basis, it looks like a corner has been turned. Better still, Chinese policy makers seem to be stimulating more balanced growth. The pace of increase in fixed asset investment eased further in December, to the lowest level in about a year, while retail sales grew at the fastest rate in nine months. December's consumption may have been boosted by the Chinese New Year falling in early 2012, but rapid income growth also played a role. Disposable income rose by 8.4 percent during 2011.
Beijing appears to be willing to quickly loosen credit in response to early signs of strain. That seems to be what Premier Wen Jiabao had in mind when he said two weeks ago that China's monetary policy should become more flexible, focused and ahead of the curve. Loans are still expected to grow about at about 15 percent in 2012, enough to support 9 percent GDP growth and 4 percent inflation.
But looser money can lead to higher inflation. Faster wage increases and planned salary tax cuts may pave the way for higher consumer prices in 2012. The annual inflation rate has eased since a July peak, thanks to comparisons with a period of spurting prices. But consumer prices rose 0.3 percent in December, and food prices were up by 1.2 percent. Beijing needs to make sure that it doesn't give the economy a monetary overdose.

These 11"x14" pastel portraits are sent to the families of the fallen at NO cost as a personal tribute and expression of admiration and gratitude.

She is extroverted and optimistic. Virginia appreciates fine clothing and jewelry, and enjoys dressing up a bit. She likes glamour, and is sought after by the opposite sex.
Woolf is a romantic. She falls in and out of love rather quickly. Virginia Woolf is affectionate and giving, but she must not let her charm be an incentive to play too much. Virginia should work at developing deep and lasting relationships. She has to avoid scattering her attention for popularity. Woolf can be flippant about commitments and may dramatize or exaggerate.

You and Virginia

THIRTY units in Coventry?s long-awaited #50 million Lower Precinct shopping centre still haven?t been let with the opening just weeks away.
The developers of the mall admitted they are struggling to attract stores to the project.
Although the bigger shops are in place for the centre, it could have a large number of empty stores when it opens in November.
Developers said today that 30 units remained unlet and confirmed that only four stores had committed themselves to the redevelopment.
They insist negotiations are taking place with retailers but despite some big names signing up early, others have not followed.
It has been confirmed, as has long been rumoured, that fashion giant Next will move into the development. It will join Littlewoods, which will include an Index store, department store TJ Hughes and fashion outlet H & M.
Daniel Carter, development director with developer Arrowcroft, says the slowdown in the economy is making retailers more cautious but he is confident the project will be a success.
He said: ?It is not going as fast as we would like but it is going to work. There are a raft of negotiations under way but nothing is signed yet.
?Building work is sufficiently advanced for retailers to see how great the space is but the letting market is difficult.?
Mr Carter says he expects Next and TJ Hughes to be open in November with Littlewoods possibly before that and H & M next spring.

The Corriere dello Sport is today claiming that Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is eyeing a potential move to Real Madrid.
The Rome-based daily is suggesting that behind Ibra's row with boss Massimiliano Allegri this week was a desire to change clubs.
The striker criticised the tactician after the 3-0 loss at Arsenal, claiming that he used him in the wrong position at the Emirates.
Although the Gazzetta dello Sport and Tuttosport today claim that peace was made between Coach and star striker, the Corriere dello Sport takes an opposite view.
They claim that the 30-year-old wants to try a new experience and he would consider joining Real Madrid should Jose Mourinho stay in charge of the Spanish club.
Ibra worked well with Mourinho during a spell at Inter before the player opted to join Barcelona in the summer of 2009.

Experience Multimedia Portability with the EPSON P-2000
Last week Epson USA announced the P-2000, a new Multimedia Storage Viewer, as a follow-on to last years P-1000. The most important difference with its predecessor is the resolution of the LCD screen, the most important part of a Photo Viewer. The 3.8" VGA display offers three colors per image pixel and a higher density of 212 pixels per inch, compared with one color per pixel and 80-100 pixels per inch on a typical digital camera display. Thus, the P-2000 can display up to an impressive 262,144 colors...
