You can narrow or broaden the context of this timeline by adjusting the zoom level. The lower the scale, the more relevant the items on average will be, while the higher the scale, the less relevant the items, on average, will be.
NESHAP regulations require use of the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) method to determine whether asbestos-derived wastes are asbestos free: "Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shall be used to analyze the output material for the presence of asbestos." In order to be considered "asbestos-free," TEM results must indicate that the waste contains no asbestos. [US Code, Vol. 40, sec. 61.155] The TEM method is far superior to polarized light microscopy (PLM) testing, a less expensive method that is often used to test for the presence of asbestos in bulk building material. The PLM method is limited by relatively weak magnification (100-400x) and it is sometimes unable to distinguish asbestos material from other materials like tar and petroleum binding components that may also be present in the building material. As a result of these deficiencies, the PLM method cannot reliably detect asbestos at concentrations of less than 1 percent and it is incapable of detecting asbestos fibers that are less than .25 micrometers in width. [Jenkins, 3/11/2002 ] TEM uses 20,000X or greater magnifications as well as powerful chemical (EDXA) and mineralogical (SAEDP) tools. Not only can TEM differentiate asbestos from non-asbestos fibers, but it can also distinguish one species of asbestos from another. [International Asbestos Testing Lab, 1/12/2006]

The EPA begins removing asbestos from private homes in Libby, Montana where a nearby mining operation contaminated the surrounding area (see November 21, 1999). The EPA conducts the cleanup operation under the authority of the National Contingency Plan (NCP) (see 1972). [Jenkins, 12/3/2001 ; Jenkins, 1/11/2002 ; Kupferman, 2003 ; Environmental Protection Agency, 7/26/2004] In some cases, it will be necessary for the EPA to take extreme measures to ensure that asbestos levels in certain homes meet EPA standards. For example, the agency will have to completely demolish one home and rebuild it after the standard procedures of replacing carpets, upholstered furniture, and professional abatement fail to reduce the presence of asbestos to an acceptable level. [Jenkins, 7/4/2003 ]

The EPA sets up more than 30 fixed air-quality monitors in and around Ground Zero as well as regional monitors in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island to test for the presence of certain contaminants. [Environmental Protection Agency, 9/9/2005] More than 30 such air monitors are also positioned at various locations in the Staten Island Landfill, where the WTC debris will be taken. [Environmental Protection Agency, 9/9/2005] Additionally, both the EPA and OSHA operate portable sampling equipment to collect data from a variety of other surrounding locations. [Environmental Protection Agency, 6/4/2002 ; Environmental Protection Agency, 3/23/2005; Environmental Protection Agency, 3/25/2005] The equipment, however, does not test the air for fiberglass, a common building material and a known carcinogen [Occupational Hazards, 1/25/2002] , or mercury in airborne dusts (although they do test for mercury in its vapor state). [Jenkins, 7/4/2003 ] Critics will argue that monitoring outdoor air is insufficient since it will ultimately be diluted because of wind and diffusion—unlike indoor air, which clings to fabrics and is trapped within walls. [International Ban Asbestos Secretariat, 1/21/2002] Aside from a few exceptions (see September 13, 2001-September 19, 2001), the EPA will use the outdated polarized light microscopy (PLM) testing method for counting asbestos fibers instead of electron microscope technology (see September 12, 2001) which provides far more accurate results.

During a conference call, EPA Region 8 offers Region 2 free use of 30 to 40 electron microscopes, along with analysts, to test bulk dust samples in New York City. [Jenkins, 3/11/2002 ] EPA Region 8 has a contract with EMSL Laboratories for the microscopes, which they are using to evaluate soils at the Libby, Montana cleanup site (see (August 2001)). Region 8 says they can get twelve of the scopes to Manhattan the next day. But William Muszynski, Region 2's Acting Administrator, rejects the offer in less than polite terms. "We don't want you fucking cowboys here," Muszynski is later alleged to have said. "The best thing they could do is transfer you to Alaska." [Jenkins, 3/11/2002 ; Jenkins, 7/4/2003 ] Instead, the EPA and other federal and city government agencies will use the outdated polarized light microscopy (PLM) testing method (see November 20, 1990) to test for the presence of asbestos fibers. [Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 2/28/2001; St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 1/14/2002]

EPA Administrator Christie Whitman assures New Yorkers that environmental conditions in Manhattan—both inside and outside—are safe, and provides a summary of the tests that have so far been performed on the city's air and drinking water. Water - Whitman says: "As we continue to monitor drinking water in and around New York City, and as EPA gets more comprehensive analysis of this monitoring data, I am relieved to be able to reassure New York and New Jersey residents that a host of potential contaminants are either not detectable or are below the Agency's concern levels. Results we have just received on drinking water quality show that not only is asbestos not detectable, but also we can not detect any bacterial contamination, PCBs or pesticides." She does say however that "following one rainstorm with particularly high runoff, we did have one isolated detection of slightly elevated levels of PCBs (see September 14, 2001)." Outdoor air - Whitman says that outdoor air sampling does not indicate the existence of significant public health risks. This claim is based on results obtained using the outdated polarized light microscopy (PLM) testing method (see September 12, 2001) which is incapable of identifying ultra-fine fibers and which cannot reliably detect asbestos when present in concentrations below one percent (see November 20, 1990). Even though Whitman denies a significant risk to public health, she does say "seven samples taken at or near Ground Zero have had marginally higher levels of asbestos that exceed EPA's level of concern," and that her agency has "done a total of 101 dust samples, of which 37 were slightly over the one percent asbestos." Whitman does not mention that the EPA's "level of concern" is not a safety benchmark (see (September 12, 2001)) but rather the detection limit of the polarized light microscopy (PLM) testing method (see November 20, 1990). Indoor air - Whitman claims, "New Yorkers and New Jerseyans need not be concerned about environmental issues as they return to their homes and workplaces." But the EPA has no data indicating that indoor air is actually safe. The only indoor tests that have been conducted by the EPA were in the EPA's Region 2 offices located in the Federal Building and a few neighboring buildings—and the results from several of these tests were positive for chrysotile asbestos (see September 13, 2001-September 19, 2001). [Environmental Protection Agency, 9/21/2001; Office of US Congressman Jerrold Nadler, 4/12/2002 ]

HP Environmental, a Virginia law firm, releases a study concluding that there is an overwhelming concentration of ultra fine fibers—particles measuring less than half a micron in size—in the Manhattan area that have eluded the standard polarized light microscopy (PLM) techniques (see September 12, 2001) used by the EPA. The report was compiled by several scientists and industrial hygienists including Hugh Granger, Ph.D., CIH and Piotr Chmielinski, CIH of HP Environmental; Tom McKee, Ph.D. of Scientific Laboratories; Jim Millette, Ph.D. of MVA, Inc.; and George Pineda, CIH of ET Environmental. Newsweek reports that according to Granger, the study's lead author, high concentrations of these fibers have been detected "within several blocks of Ground Zero, including inside closed and undamaged offices nearby and as high up as 36 stories." Dr. Philip Landrigan, a leading expert on asbestos toxicity, commenting on the report's findings, tells Newsweek, "I find this very troublesome. The smaller the particle, the more easily it can be aerosolized. And the easier job that it has penetrating right down into the very depths of the lungs." The study is based on laboratory tests of samples collected between September 21 and 28. [Newsweek, 10/5/2001; Associated Press, 10/10/2001; Reuters, 10/15/2001; New York Magazine, 10/22/2001] The study is initially posted on the website of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA). But is removed after only 5 hours. Cate Jenkins, a veteran EPA employee, will later suggest that "its removal was motivated by the fact that it conflicted with Governor Whitman's press release of the same day (see October 3, 2001) claiming no hazardous exposures to asbestos except at Ground Zero." [Jenkins, 12/3/2001 ]

Access to Top Personal Injury Lawyers
Have you been hurt in an accident at work? Maybe you've been injured in a car crash that wasn't your fault, or possibly you're looking for personal injury lawyers because food poisoning ruined your holiday abroad. Whatever the reason behind your need to claim, The Compensation Experts can help you today.
What is a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Personal injury is a distinct branch of law that helps more than three million people claim compensation for wrongful injury in the United Kingdom every year. Personal injury lawyers specialise in certain areas within personal injury law, such as medical negligence, road traffic accidents, accidents at work, or armed forces accidents. Just as you wouldn't see an optician if you have concerns about your knee, nor should you choose a lawyer who doesn't have the experience and knowledge of your type of claim.
Personal injury law can seem complicated from the outside, but The Compensation Experts do all we can to make claiming as straightforward and stress-free as possible. We are happy to provide you with a free, no-obligation consultation to answer any initial questions you may have about whether you can make a claim, and how to go about doing so.
We work with some of the country's leading personal injury lawyers and will match you with one who has an excellent success rate for your type of compensation claim. To take away any worry about the cost associated with making a claim or the financial risk of being faced with legal fees if your claim is not successful, we give our clients the option of a No Win No Fee* agreement. With this, you do not have to pay a penny in legal costs if you do not receive any compensation. The Compensation Experts go above and beyond to keep our clients informed of the progress of their claim and to make sure they understand what is happening at each step of the process.
Can I Claim Personal Injury Compensation?
You may be entitled to claim compensation if you have been injured in an accident caused by another party's mistake or negligence. As the claimant, the onus is on you to demonstrate not only that you were hurt or made ill but that your injury could have been prevented if the other party had fulfilled their reasonable duty of care, whether they were an employer keeping machinery in good condition, a shopping centre manager ensuring a spillage was quickly cleared away, or the driver of another vehicle adhering to the highway code.
Your medical records are often sufficient evidence to show the type and extent of your injury, although there may be some occasions where a lawyer asks for the opinion of an independent medical expert. Serious injuries involving brain or spinal damage can take longer as their nature means it is not always clear how lasting damage will be, or the extent it will have on the victim's life. It is a legal requirement for employers to report serious accidents to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), which can also be used as evidence when proving your right to compensation.
The second stage is showing that you were not, or at least not wholly responsible, for causing your injury or illness, but that someone else was. Just because you have been hurt does not mean you are entitled to damages. Nor can you claim if someone made a mistake but you were not harmed.
For example:
- A patient is misdiagnosed which leads to a delay in their treatment and a worsening of their condition. When the initial doctor is investigated it is found that they took the same reasonable steps as would be expected from another person in their profession, and the misdiagnosis was not due to their mistakes or negligence. Despite the patient being injured (in a sense that their condition deteriorated), the doctor is not considered at fault, and there are no grounds to make a claim.
- A second patient is misdiagnosed and contacts a personal injury lawyer to seek compensation for the deterioration in their health. When investigating, their lawyer finds that a prior relevant illness was ignored and that another medical professional would reasonably have made a correct diagnosis with this information. The patient has grounds for a claim and receives compensation for damages.
- A third patient is misdiagnosed however the misdiagnosis has no impact on their health or their condition. They want acknowledgement and payment of damages for the situation. However, their claim is ruled as invalid by a court because, despite the doctor's error, the patient suffered no harm.
Making a Personal Injury Claim
After getting the necessary information together and ensuring your claim is valid, your lawyer will send a letter to the party you believe to be responsible, known as the defendant. This letter will clearly state the nature of your injury and the circumstances that caused it, and ask whether they accept liability. The defendant has 21 days to acknowledge receipt of this letter, and then a further three months to provide a comprehensive reply stating whether they take responsibility and the reasons if not.
In over 90% of personal injury claims, the defendant accepts responsibility, and a settlement can be agreed without having to go to court. In a small number of requests, however, the defendant may not accept full liability, or you may not be able to agree on a fair and reasonable amount of compensation. In these instances, your lawyer may recommend you challenge their stance in court and ask a judge to decide. They will continue to negotiate as it is possible to reach a resolution even once a request has been submitted to the court and you are waiting for a date.
Personal Injury Claims FAQ
How long will my claim take?
There is not an exact timeframe in which a claim must be finalised. We can, however, give an indication based on similar claims, with those involving less serious injuries typically taking less time than those which cause severe and lasting damage. A claim for an ankle broken when slipping on a wet restaurant kitchen floor normally takes 5-8 months, while a medical negligence claim for a patient who has suffered brain damage can take two or more years.
How much compensation will I receive?
As with the duration, it is not possible to advise the amount of compensation you will receive at the beginning of the process. Your lawyer will be able to give you an approximate figure based on the nature and extent of your injury, the impact it has had on your life, expenses you have incurred since receiving your injury, and any financial implications it will have on you in the future.
How does a No Win No Fee agreement work?
Conditional agreements, more widely referred to as "no win no fee" take away the worry about paying large legal bills if your compensation claim is not successful. Instead of having to pay your lawyer's hourly rate from the start of your application, you agree upfront a percentage of your compensation which you will pay to your lawyer when your claim is closed. If you lose your claim, providing you have complied with the terms and conditions of your agreement, you do not have to pay legal fees.
How long do I have to make a claim after my accident?
There is a statutory time limit of three years after an accident to make a personal injury claim in most instances. Exceptions are:
If you are a minor at the time of the accident, in which case you have until your 21st birthday
If your illness or injury developed or was diagnosed years after the negligence, such as asbestos-related lung disease. In this instance, you have three years from the date your illness was formally linked to the accident or negligence
The Compensation Experts can help you claim compensation for any injury as long as there is medical evidence to substantiate it, and proof linking your injury to an accident or act of negligence such as providing inadequate safety equipment or training at work.

At its developer conference this week, Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) debuted a new cohesive set of guidelines, called Android One, for creating inexpensive smartphones for the developing world.
While Android One standards are technically available to any device maker, Google wants to use them to gain a larger footing in emerging markets -- which leaves Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) yet another step behind in the space.
What is Android One?
Think of Android One as a list of hardware specs that smartphone companies can use to build Android phones. Google says it's helping to streamline the process for device makers by giving them hardware standards to abide by. If they follow suit, then the phones will receive the Android One designation.
This is good to emerging market consumers because the standards will ensure the phones have a consistent (and non-bloatware) experience, while also allowing the software to be easily updated.
For device makers, Android One may help them build better phones faster and cheaper. The aim is for these devices to be priced less than $200. And just as consumers benefit from updated software, the phone makers can benefit from selling the most updated phones users want.
But make no mistake: The biggest beneficiary of Android One is Google.
How Google wins
Android has long been criticized for being fragmented, and in developing markets, this has been an even bigger problem. Phone makers don't give inexpensive phones any priority for software updates, as they move on to selling newer devices. Though Android KitKat helped with fragmentation, Android One goes a step further by bringing cheaper phones all on a level playing field.
By establishing hardware specifications, and limiting the amount of software changes, Google will be able to offer an unadulterated version of Android that can access the Play store, bringing in additional revenue for Google. But access to the Play store isn't Google's main goal. The company wants to ensure that its software continues to be the dominant smartphone OS in new markets and keep Apple at a distant second.
Apple continues to play catch-up
Apple is in second place when it comes to worldwide smartphone OS market share, as Android holds about 78% and iOS takes 17%. The developing world is exploding with smartphone growth and both companies want to extend their worldwide positions.
In an report a few months ago, IDC's Ryan Reith said, "In 2013 we saw the sub-$200 smartphone market grow to 42.6% of global volume, or 430 million units." That huge market is what Apple has failed to tap with its high-end devices. Apple has used the iPhone 4 as its secret sales weapon in emerging markets, but as the Android One phones roll out, the iMaker could face stiffer competition.
Foolish final thoughts
I think Google's being smart in its approach to developing markets, as it uses Android One to regain some of its control over its mobile OS. The new guidelines will likely bring Google even closer to closing the gap between fragmented Android phones, as well as bringing in new revenue from sales in the Google Play store.
Though Apple still has a lot of brand enthusiasm in emerging markets, if Android One makes inexpensive Android phones even more enticing, Apple will continue to lose out in emerging markets. And with new hardware and updated software, Android One phones may be too much for the older iPhone 4 to keep up with.

Life on the drought stricken land
Life on the drought stricken land
GROCERY bills are tipped to soar as crops are increasingly decimated by one of the worst droughts in more than 110 years.
Agriculture analysts have warned supermarket shoppers of bill shock, with vegetables, bread and even margarine to become particularly expensive.
The only reprieve should be red meat, which should come down as farmers sell off sheep and cattle they can't afford to feed.
However, the price of red meat will skyrocket when the drought eventually breaks.
Agriculture research firm Australian Farm Institute executive director Richard Heath said drought historically meant grocery bills rise at double the rate of inflation and there was no reason to expect this drought would be any different.
MORE: Farmer attempted to suicide — twice
MORE: Farmers call to government to reinstate 'drought declaration'
"In terms of a whole basket of groceries, if you look at 2002 to 2003 drought, food prices increased 4.5% when (the inflation rate) only went up by 2.7 per cent," Mr Heath said.
"Then in the drought between 2005 and 2007, food prices increased by 12 per cent, which was double (inflation).
"During drought red meat can become cheaper as livestock is sold off but when the drought breaks the price will rise significantly as farmers try to get hold of cattle."
Despite the driest 14-month period across large parts of rural NSW since records began, fresh food cost rises haven't yet hit the hip pocket as most fresh food is produced with irrigated water, according to Mr Heath.
However, the availability of irrigated water is drying up and prices are soaring.
Even after the driest start to a year in 30 years, Woolworths has made the extraordinary claim every single one of its NSW farm suppliers was completely immune to the drought.
"We don't have any NSW growers impacted by the drought, so there's been no impact on price or availability in our stores," a Woolworths spokesman said.
However, on the Woolworths websites' "meet the growers" page, it trumpets its close relationship with Coleambally organic vegetable grower Brendan Murray, who this year has slashed his vegetable plantation by 80 per cent because his soil is so dry.
Mr Murray's 113-hectare farm, with its own packing plant, is a large producer of broccoli, cabbages and carrots in winter, and pumpkins, onions and zucchinis in summer.
Last year Mr Murray planted 30 acres of broccoli, cabbages and carrots this year cut the size of the crop back to six acres, which he's gradually harvesting now.
He has recently planted six acres of onions, down from 20 acres last year, and will likely also reduce next month's zucchini plantation.
If the drought doesn't break before summer, Mr Murray may scrap the whole venture and selling his highly lucrative irrigation water rights.
"On the temporary market, we're buying water that was $50 two or three years ago, which is now around $250 per megalitre," he said.
"Unless my customers can give me solid commitments they'll give me a reasonable price, I might be better selling my water on the temporary market because I'll make more money and have less stress."
Any decision to pare back or scrap planting would mean laying off up to 25 pickers and packers.
According to Mr Murray, his customers including Woolworths, may not increase store prices despite a swindling supply from NSW if they "flood the market" with produce from interstate.
Grain analysis firm Mecardo this week said the impact of the drought on large cropping farms would also see increases in the price of processed food.
"The cost of production for bread and edible oils (such as margarine) will increase in NSW this season due to increased input costs," Grain, Oilseed & Input Market Analyst Andrew Whitelaw said.

A lot of hype has been placed upon the PSPgo. It's a sleek, sexy machine with some obvious flaws (battery life, no real new features), but it does sure look great. However, the PSPgo is not the only thing Sony is launching later next month, as there is a whole slew of new game types coming through PSN: the Minis.
There was some talk last week about these new, smaller, bite-sized games, especially in regards to the lack of multiplayer and updates to the games. Last week I was at a Sony PSPgo launch event, and I had the opportunity to speak with Eric Lempel, the Director of PlayStation Network Operations and Strategic Planning, about this very issue.
"So you can patch Minis," he said when questioned about the situation, "but we won't have multiplayer functions in the beginning. Basically, to get these developers on board, and to make it easier to test and get it through the pipeline, we won't be allowing that functionality for the first stage of Minis."
"It's something we will consider in the future," he added, referring to the posibility of game updates and multiplayer in future PSP Mini titles.
Ultimately, this is a situation that is not ideal for gamers, but is something that Sony can address at any time. I just hope that these restrictions don't become like Microsoft's handling of previous Arcade restrictions, where only certain companies and games were allowed to break the rules, because that's just unfair.
Expect more from the Sony Press Event later this week.

Heyo all! I've been quiet since SELF happened in June but since late July I've working quite a bit on github lately on UBports, Magic Device Tool and the Kubuntu Manual. I've also been making a few changes with the Kubuntu Podcast team to get our show on Pocket Casts Android podcast app and have taken over editing the show.
Dec was when I uploaded the Kubuntu Manual on github for the first time.
The UBport is a project lead mostly by one guy to port Ubuntu Touch to as many devices as possible! I've been fixing grammar and typo issues since he is not a native English speaker.
The Magic Device Tool has been getting merges from me for similar fixes as well, as well as some testing on the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7. It's a series of scripts that can flash all the supported Ubuntu Touch devices from BQ, Meizu, Nexus 4 and 7 as well as some UBport devices with the newest release.
The Kubuntu Manual has been a bit of a child of mine for over a year or so since I basically took over documentation for the Kubuntu project. It's currently being worked on for the 16.10 release but we are also adding to the 16.04 one as well that is on docs.kubuntu.org.
Once a month fellow Kubuntu members Rick Timmis, Ovidiu-Florin Bogdan and I do a Podcast highlighting the work that has been done in the Kubuntu world aka #kubuntu-devel on IRC/Kubuntu Devel on Telegram. We also go over what we have been doing in and out of the project, our picks of Linux based apps in, a few interviews from people in KDE, Ubuntu and other Open Source related places, as well as my Game On section where we are proving you don't have to be on Windows to get your "Game On"! We have the Show on BBB (BigBlueButton) which is on a server that was donated/sponsored to use by the company.

Charles AtlasFriday, October 31st, 2008
Vilma Gold is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by American artist Charles Atlas.
'Tornado Warning' will be a new five-channel video work installed throughout the gallery space that will explore the juxtaposition between chaos and order arising from Atlas' early memories of tornado warnings in his childhood town of St Louis, Missouri. Creating two rooms that contrast in appearance, form, content and atmosphere Atlas draws
upon his past use of montage in film to create a large scale installation that delves into the powers of perception, triggering memory and submerging the viewer in his dream like world. 'Plato's Alley', a single channel video work, is installed within one area of the gallery, creating a formal space inhabited by numbers and grids. The space evokes
Atlas' childhood dreams of order, inevitability and impossible precision. 'Institute for Turbulence Research', installed in the second space, is comprised of omnidirectional projections displaying four channels of video images – a combi- nation of found images cut from old films and news footage, shots of ordinary objects flying around an empty room,
swirling abstractions, distorted dancing bodies, radio waves, and current images from the internet. Seemingly in motion the space appears unruly, alarming, violent and relentless.
Charles Atlas is an artist and filmmaker who has worked primarily in film and video since the mid-1970s. His pio- neering media/dance works, multi-channel video installations, feature-length documentaries and video art works for television have often taken dance and performance as their point of departure. Initiating his artistic practice within
the orbit of Merce Cunningham, John Cage and Robert Rauschenberg, Atlas has developed a highly personalized approach to collaboration that transforms the performance documentary genre into a provocative, strongly ironic interaction between narrative and fictional modes. Since 2003 he has been increasingly devoted to real-time video,
sometimes as stand-alone, on-stage or live electronic improvisations. With this new body of work Atlas uses his experience with the spontaneity of live video and his abiding interest in precision of form to create visually arresting
and challenging new environments.
Charles Atlas was born in St. Louis, Missouri, USA and lives and works in New York City. He had a survey of his film and video work at Tate Modern, London in 2006 and has also had several solo presentations including Institute for
Contemporary Art, Boston (2005), Magazin 4, Bregenz (2000) and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1997). His 2002 film, 'The Legend of Leigh Bowery', a documentary feature about the London-based performance artist and art/fashion icon and his multi channel video installation "Dizzy Remix" are currently showing as part of the 'Leigh Bowery: Beautified Provocation' exhibition at the Kunstverein Hannover, Hannover.
Jonas Hvid SøndergaardFriday, October 31st, 2008
Humorously minimalistic on the one hand and high-strung apocalyptic on the other: Jonas Hvid Søndergaard's paintings borrow from the treasury chamber of abstraction to throw open the gate to compelling new visions. Hvid's paintings are like a look into our childhood's kaleidoscope. Yet what are twisted around in Hvid's kaleidoscope are not coloured pieces of glass. It is the surrounding world that is turned into a new recognizability.
Jonas Hvid Søndergaard is known for his precise confrontations between the vocabulary of abstraction and the shapes of our everyday surroundings. Ladders, balconies and walls have meticulously been transformed into abstract structures on Hvid's canvases. In addition, Hvid is known for his orchestration of abstract shapes to form apocalyptic scenarios in which whirlwinds pull us into the chaotic universe of seeming nightmares.
In this – his second solo show at bendixen contemporary art – Hvid expands the range of his painterly expression. The precise abstract interpretations of our surroundings take on a larger degree of complexity with motifs such as an orange scaffolding. The paintings featuring more chaotic scenarios are to the contrary enhanced by free flowing lava streams of changing colours and expressive markings, only just held in check by singular stabile structures. In several of his new works, abstraction completely consumes the canvas leaving no trace of a recognizable world, as if we are looking into the childhood kaleidoscope with its glass pieces still twirling around, having yet to locate their position.
In addition to new paintings, the exhibition features a number of works on paper that demonstrates the same expansion of Jonas Hvid Søndergaard's painterly expression towards a freer formal flow.
Jonas Hvid Søndergaard (b. 1977) graduated from The Royal Danish Academy in 2005. In August 2008 he co-curated the exhibition "Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks": an international painting exhibition focusing on the formal aspects of contemporary painting. In May 2009 Randers Kunstmuseum presents his solo show "Transit".
Jonas Hvid Søndergaard was recently awarded Niels Wessel Bagges Award.
Benji WhalenFriday, October 31st, 2008
MOGADISHNI proudly presents the third solo exhibition by the American artist Benji Whalen (b. 1968), who lives and works in San Francisco. For the exhibition Whalen will be presenting his famous and intriguing polymer clay sculptures.
For Whalen the title "Music for my funeral" sums up the great power of human vanity. The vanity becomes apparent when focusing at the music for ones own funeral, as this would be the event one would never attend. As always, he feels conflicting urges in everything, and finds that good and bad flow from the same source, that the eternal (music) mixes with the ephemeral (his own funeral) in a way that continues to agonize and intrigue him.
A man sleeping on a pile of skulls and bones, a king weighed down by his crown or a man in a tub trying to wash of his sins. They are all lonely figures in existential situations but Whalen also created the opposite such as crammed piles of devils fighting angels on top of a skull or people in all different situations whose limbs are sticking out everywhere.
The polymer clay sculptures are absurd piles of human beings in fights with body parts sticking out. We both crave and fear the company of others, as the exhibition title CLAUSTROTOPIA from his last solo exhibition suggests. The entangled bodies in the sculptures are physically close to such a degree that it borders on claustrophobia and causes aggression, and the notion of togetherness and peaceful coexistence therefore becomes a utopia. As always in Whalen's work, optimism and pessimism, faith and dejection, adoration and disgust, and most importantly humour and sadness are always simultaneously present.
Whalen puts it like this: "A pile of humans" is for me the best way of visualizing how people relate to each other. Either we dominate or we are dominated by someone or something. We are always grappling with each other and with ourselves."
Whalen is well-known for his stuffed fabric arms embroidered with colourful tattoo imagery which shows a variety of themes connected to life, death, sexuality and religion. The embroideries also fuse both the masculine and the feminine in a number of ways and in Whalen's own words he wants to create an art work that is at the same time rough and vulnerable. A hyper masculine work created out of one of the most delicate and feminine handicrafts.
Whalen has participated at the exhibition "Pricked: Extreme Embroidery" at The Museum of Arts & Design, New York, USA and is among others represented in collections at Museum of Modern Art, New York (NY), Honolulu Academy of Arts, Honolulu (HI) and Microsoft Corporation, Redmond (WA)

[New York, year 2027. Andrés and Gabriel hang out in the coffee house]
Andrés: Certainly I love NYC at this time of the year: the lights, the colors, the snow; it's just gorgeous, don't you think?
Gabriel: Sure… I suppose…
Andrés: Man, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so down? Cheer up!
Gabriel: What are you talking about? I'm fine… life is good, I have a beautiful wife, lovely children and business cannot be better.
Andrés: This is about your son, isn't it?
Gabriel: For what I recall I have no son, only three beautiful daughters.
Andrés: Honestly, I think you have to let that go; so Jackson wants to dance ballet instead of going to college, I don't see what the big deal is.
Gabriel: What the big deal is? All my life, I've been working so hard, building this landscape company with my own hand so my son will take over eventually, and now he wants to wear tights and dance like a sissy, and you still don't know what the big deal is? Man! My life, my efforts all will be thrown away and lost. Do you have any idea what it means? Do you?
Andrés: Sorry bro, I guess things didn't work out the way you wanted…
Gabriel: He has brought shame to me and our family.
Andrés: Shame to you? Get a grip please! And besides, how come you didn't see that coming? I mean, he was always jumping and twirling around the house.
Gabriel: I thought he was gay or something, I would have perfectly understood that, but this… I don't get it! We worked together for several years, side by side, we always got along great, and all of the sudden he dropped that bombshell. What did I do wrong? Please tell me! I need to know!
Andrés: Maybe that's his raison d'être.
Gabe: Je ne sais pas. But why if you perceived it before, why didn't you tell me?
Andrés: I thought you knew as well.
Gabriel: I don't care anymore. And I hope he gets ready to face up with reality for he's not going to get a dime from me.
Andrés: In that case, he will hate you.
Gabriel: Well, so be it.
Andrés: C'mon, you don't mean that. You should give him a break. It's not the end of the world if your son doesn't take over your company.
Gabriel: This is not about business. This is about my legacy – my legacy! How would you feel if you knew that all your hard-work will be gone some day?
Andrés: As a matter of fact, your business is bound to disappear eventually, just as everything else that exists in this universe.
Gabriel: don't try to talk me into forgiving my son, I know your evil mind games.
Andrés: I don't have to talk you into anything. And don't worry I won't confuse you with semantics. Because I know that you know that deep down, you care more about your son than your business, I know that everything you have said you said it because you are mad, but sooner or later you will accept the career that your son have chosen, no matter what, won't you?
Gabriel: (stares at Andrés with anger) Damn you are right! Stupid sons, thinking on their own!
Andrés: And perhaps Rachel, your eldest daughter, might want to run your business.
Gabriel: Yeah right… a businesswoman, don't make me laugh.

A brand new American adventure and comedy movie "Jumanji: welcome to the Jungle is the narration of the story of four teenagers who discovered an old and a strange video game and from here their journey to diverse adventures starts into the jungle setting. They chose to become the adult avatar and came to know that the game has to be accomplished in another world. The game was not to be played rather the game was playing with them and they had to fight for their survival till the end.
"Jumanji" Positive aspects of the movie
- The focus of the movie remained on the vitality of the bondage and friendship as it was seen in the character of the fridge.
- Amazingly cohesive script and twists in the movie remained quite successful to catch the attention of the audience especially teenagers enjoyed the flow of the movie at its best.
- Comedy remained the focal point in the movie and all the actors performed it in the best possible way. Although the scene of the penis in the movie was annoying for some people yet on the other end a lot of them found it as a valid reason to laugh.
- The movie felt exactly fit in the mold and was totally as per the expectation of the fans of previous Jumanji and everyone welcomed the same theme but different settings from a simple board game to a technically advanced video game which was quite compatible to the contemporary need of the far advanced world.
Also Read: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope – Movie Review
Negative aspect of the movie
- The movie was for the international audience who have a diverse set of cultures and limitations. Sexual element in the movie was so annoying for some parents and the preventable and incongruous sexual references in the movie disturbed teenagers in front of their peers. At some places, kids found uncomfortable and parents had to leave the cinema. Display of female body skin and the scene of the penis made it unacceptable for a lot of people.
- The movie was for teenagers but the display of abusive language with f-words made it objectionable and objectionable words in the subtitle have been attributed as one the weakest points of the movie and parents kept their kids away of it at some places.
- A lot of violence made it an adult movie as violence which was presented in the movie was not supposed to be added for teenagers or kids. It was widely criticised especially when the character of Dwayne Johnson snaps the head of another person very brutely. These type of scenes put a question mark on the smoothness of such a high-end movie.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle went great at the box office and people really enjoyed it in all the corners of the world. If someone comes with the purpose of just enjoyment and getting entertained then it is a hit for him or her. Putting the abusive element aside along with the violence and sexual display, the movie went great at the box office and still it is in the cinemas. So, have a look at this weekend and enjoy.

The Journalism Training Centre
As the pioneer and largest newspaper in Timor Leste, the daily newspaper, STL has moral responsibility to enhance the journalists' professional works, standards and ethics. On 24 November 2006, STL has established the Journalist Training Centre and officially inaugurated By Prime Minister Ramos Horta.
The JTC training is focused on developing and increasing journalists' awareness on capability and professional skills in order to achieve the multi plat form journalism standard. The JTC is delivering a hands-on training with the combined in-class training, simulation and real work experiences by using all medias of the STL Corporation.
Nuno-Malau Printing
Initially, in 1993 the daily STT printed at workshop State printing Press (Percetakan Negara) which then only provided a poor newspaper printing quality and it's difficult to the newspaper develop business and distribution. Therefore, in the early 1994, the Asia Foundation and USAID positively response to the proposal by providing the newspaper a German made Heidelberg Printing Press and pre-printing equipment's. This improved the newspaper performance in terms of printing quality and quick news distribution to the community.
During the period of campaign for Popular consultation August 30 1999, STT printing received also CNRT Bulletin Vox Populi. STT printing also printed bulletin Dewan Solidaritas Mahasiswa ( Council of Students Solidarity) UNTL that campaign for referendum. At that time no printing workshop have courage to print campaign materials for CNRT and Dewan Solidaritas.
The tragedy of September 1999 in Timor Leste implied to the massive destruction of the newspaper facilities including house and printing machine. Now this printing machine is no longer used and its frame is installed in front of the STL compound as a non violence monument against media.
7 April 2002, the STL management team afforded to buy a new printing machine, WEB GOSS Community, which was jointly funded by the Portugal and Finland government and the STL owned fund. This allowed the newspaper to print the newspaper with the bigger size, 8 columns.The new facility was inaugurated by President of CNRT and Candidate of RDTL President His Excellency Xanana Gusmao.
Enhancing Professionalism standards and Ethical codes
The STL Corporation has committed to enhance the quality of information services and professional media management in Timor Leste. In that line, The STL Corporation commits to review, improve norms, guidelines, standards and professional ethical codes and continuous journalist and staff training, courses, workshops, discussions and internship programs.
Therefore, on February 1st 2008, STL commemorate his XV anniversary with the theme "Developing Professionalism and Maintaining Independence to Flourish Democracy". This theme will be guideline and reflection for seminars, workshops and discussions topics that will be regularly organized by the STL Corporation in order to get inputs from various people.
Introducing journalism to Senior High School Students
The key input of the media advancement is human resource. However, this parameter has become a major obstacle for the development of various media in Timor Leste. In fact, there no universities and institutions in Timor Leste have Faculty of communication and mass media or department of journalist as sources of recruitment for journalist.
One way to stimulate the interest of young people to became journalism is to introduce journalism to young people study in senior high schools and universities.
Therefore, the daily newspaper, Suara Timor Lorosae has established cooperation with St. Joseph College (catholic high) since February 2003 in order to provide a page of the newspaper to the students to weekly publish their activities and opinions. This page, call the St Joseph College wall paper news.
As part of introducing journalist to students of high school STL has provide opportunity to Sao Miguel College (high school) to produce news for STL TV.
STL also provide space and columns to students and young people to publish their articles.
Non Violence Monument
It is important to all people to aware and understood on the significant roles of the media as sources of information and knowledge, education, entertainment and social control. Base on these roles and function media became one pillar of democracy in the democratic countries.
These important roles of media sometime are not well understood by many people, which then lead to them to put media as another enemy to press and try to destroy.
The daily Newspaper, Suara Timor Lorosae (Suara Timor Timur) has experienced continuous pressure and violence in various forms during the Indonesian occupation from terror, intimidation, violation including destruction and brunt down office and production equipment's. Pressure and intimidation also happen after independence but different in the form, way and scale.
To avoid pressure and violence against the media, then STL has taken an initiative to build a simple monument of Non Violence against the media. The monument was built used the first printing press machine of STT which destroyed and burned down during the tragedy of September 1999. The monument was inaugurated by Deputy PM Jose Luis Guterres and witnessed by the Charge d'Affaires of US Embassy in Dili, Mr. Henry M., journalists, politicians, and academicians on the occasion of commemoration of the World Press Freedom Day in 3 May 2008.
Contribution to Development
A small contribution of STL to the country is development of human resources. Since it's publication to January 2011 STL was place hundreds of people for education, training and career development and many of them has been training in Jakarta, Bandung, Jogyakarta and Bali. From STL side there are big loses but in the other hand STL is proud, they become success in diverse areas as senior journalist in other media, politician, businessman, media officers or civil servant.

The Big Hit by James Neal Harvey
In Harvey's first new thriller in more than fifteen years, a starlet's murder draws an NYPD detective into a cross-country manhunt
Mongo wakes up, brushes his teeth, and prepares to kill a movie star. He needs a wig and a phony press pass, as well as a very special tape recorder that holds two large-caliber bullets, one of which is earmarked for screen siren Catherine Delure. A bit of smooth talk takes Mongo past Delure's security and into her hotel room, where he completes his assignment with ease. The hit was simple, he thinks. But it is about to go terribly wrong.
Delure appears to have been shot during a robbery, but homicide detective Jeb Barker is not fooled. Tracking the self-assured assassin leads the PI first to Las Vegas, then to California—where blue sky and palm trees cannot distract him from the darkness within the hit man's heart.

I thought it was adorable and thought if I ever came across a teapot that would work, that I would try to make one myself. It is a great way to recycle and would make a Fabulous gift! Fast forward 2 days later, I was out in one of my Thrifting adventures when I spied this out of the corner of my eye!!
Last weekend we went up to my Uncles house to spend some time with family that was here from out of state. I knew that my Uncle would have ALL of the tools I needed to make the pot. I had decided to make it for my Aunt and Uncle. They love nature and have many different feeders and bird dwellings. I knew it would be perfect for their yard.
My Uncle and I started working on it on Saturday afternoon. I found some wood that I could use for the base and back laying around my Uncles yard. The process was relatively quick and painless. No injuries or broke pieces!
Here it is on the work bench. We went off to drink as the glue dried. I checked on it often to make sure none of the kids or my Aunt had messed with it. With 10 kids around that weekend, I was sure someone would want to touch it and move it around. Luckily, everyone stayed away from it.
And here is the finished product. It was really great spending time with my Uncle working on the project. We have decided that we will make more, as soon as I am able to
I am especially happy that this only cost me $2.00!! That is a savings of over $40!!
Perhaps you will come across a teapot and try it for yourself or as a gift for someone too!!

I went through 2 pregnancies and nursing of babies as a nursing student/nurse. Knowing what maternity scrubs to buy and where to buy them was a challenge. I was also on a budget and didn't want to spend a lot of money on scrubs I would only wear for a few months. At the time, I didn't know any pregnant nurses and didn't even think to turn to Google for help. I really could have used a post like this though! Hope you find it helpful! (This post contains affiliate links. Clicking on them and ordering products can earn me commissions with no extra charge for you)
I tried to go for as long as I could without having to wear maternity scrubs. I bought a couple "stretchy side" types from a thrift store. But eventually, I had no choice, my scrub tops were barely fitting! I just didn't like the idea that I had to buy special scrubs just to wear for a few months and then never wear again. With a little creativity and some help from my local scrub store, I was able to find some options that worked for me. I have also asked some other mom/nurses for their suggestions to put together this post.
Maternity Scrubs
I never actually wore real maternity scrubs. I am petite and my belly grew straight out. I was sure I would outgrow any maternity top I tried. I know a lot of people now who can make maternity scrubs work. I found a few options on Amazon that have great reviews.
Maternity Scrub Alternatives
As I mentioned above, I actually did not buy traditional maternity scrubs. I have talked to a lot of other nurse moms who did not buy maternity scrubs either. Here are a few options if you are not looking for traditional maternity scrubs.
Button up tops
My favorite scrub tops for while I was pregnant were jackets or button-ups. My baby was due in September so that meant I was at my biggest during the summer. Using the button up style meant I could wear a normal maternity t-shirt with the button up over it(not buttoned obviously). Long sleeve jackets were not an option because it was so hot, but if you have a winter baby they would work great! They do have short sleeve versions though! I love these options on Amazon. They come in multiple colors too.
What is great about these button-up tops is that you can wear them for while you are nursing as well! I found these tops super helpful because it saved me from having to lift up the scrub top up in order to pump. It is kind of a pain to lift a scrub top since you often have tons of stuff in your pockets. I love when I can lots of use out of an item. Buying button up scrubs is the way to go!
Size-up regular scrubs
Some women choose to buy the "unisex" style scrubs in a size up from your normal. This will give your belly plenty of room to grow, without the added price of "maternity" scrubs.
Stretchy waste bottoms
Now, I also hated the idea of traditional maternity scrub bottoms. For one, I have a very hard time finding pants that fit me right because I am pretty petite. I knew I would have to try them on. So I went to my local uniform store asking for help. The store worker suggested the Koi Morgan yoga style scrub pants. They have a super stretchy, yoga style waste with a drawstring. The waistband can also be rolled down so it will stretch around the bottom of your belly. These are still my favorite pants by the way. I bought some more recently because I love them so much. They don't fall down like a lot of my other pants have. There are other "yoga waist" or stretchy
These are very high-quality scrubs. I only bought 3 pairs because of how pricey they were to me. It helped that I knew I could wear them after my pregnancy as well though. And they have lasted me a long time, they have barely shown any wear in years.
Ideas from others
Here is another post I found from another blog called Midlevelyou. It's called Pregnant? Best Maternity Scrubs
Stay tuned
Stay tuned for more advice for navigating pregnancy while nursing! Thanks for reading! What are your favorite scrubs to wear while pregnant? Let me know in the comments!

The Enneagram is an archetypal typology that offers in-depth insight into personality, motivation and similarities. It is a most useful tool in self-transformation work and offers deep insight and sense-making of personality consisting of 9 core Enneagram types and 27 subtypes. It is an extensively researched instrument which does not box people and opens various pathways into understanding and exploring core personality traits (The Integrative Enneagram workbook, Lucille Greeff & Dirk Cloete). The Enneagram assists with the journey of self-realisation and consciousness on a self-level.
The application for the Integrative Enneagram is far-reaching but the focus of my work with the Enneagram is on creating deeper self-understanding in order to consolidate one's personal power on the journey of self-realisation within organisations. Once personal power is scaffolded, the individual can become congruent with their personal values and highest potential. The impact of self-empowered people in organisations contribute strongly to higher performance and success of the organisation as well as the career of the individual. It supports a sense of empowerment and will therefore strengthen the employee and the organisation. This tool can be used for individual development in coaching/mentoring, in teams to harness and develop team, as well as in leadership development. The Enneagram offers unlimited possibilities for growth, personal development and insight and as such is a powerful tool in the development of leadership efficacy.
Insights Discovery is a methodology (a tool) that is based on the seminal work of Carl Gustav Jung, a world renowned Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. It uses the language of colour as the gateway to five areas of effectiveness: individuals, teams, organisations, sales and leadership (Andy Lothian, CEO of Insights). It delivers measurable positive results for your organisation improving performance and creating lasting change at all levels in the organisation. Insights Discovery can enable your people and culture in many ways, some of which are:
• To make it possible for people at all levels to gain a deeper understanding of their own preferences and personality styles
• The enabling of ongoing personal growth
• The celebration of the uniqueness of every individual and enabling people to embrace themselves and others through increased self-awareness and knowledge
• Increased personal effectiveness and team effectiveness
• To help foster a culture of shared openness and honesty, thus building trust and healthy conflict resolution channels
• To create a container or a framework of shared understanding in a business through a shared language
• It is a magnificent tool to use for team effectiveness and leadership development work as it enables a natural progression from personal effectiveness to team effectiveness.
The Insights methodology has been proven to be a highly effective way of introducing personal effectiveness into an organisation and can be used for individuals, in small groups or teams. The magical value is in the ability to use this tool on a small or extensive scale in your organisation as key enabler for leadership and culture development. It can easily be built into various programmes and works particularly well as enabler of Values Based Leadership. The Insights Discovery Personal Profile can be used for many different conversations and interventions over an extended period of time. It is the ideal tool to engage your organisation's people in an inclusive and powerful way.

First performance:
Da Capo Chamber Players, Andre Solomon-Glover, baritone, Louis Karchin, conductor
Christ and St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, NYC, Jan. 28, 1999
Awarded the Heckscher Foundation Prize
The highlight of the evening came at the conclusion: American Visions, the setting of two poems by the well-known Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko for chamber ensemble with baritone (Dominic Inferrera), led admirably by Karchin. Yevtushenko creates an immediate visceral, graphic poetry that is almost music itself. Naturally, if one chooses to set these poems, it is important to punctuate and amplify the poetry…. It´s a tough assignment, but Lou handles it perfectly, echoing, in instrumental colors, the multi-colored poetic text.

Here we go again…
Greetings out there in Braves Nation. It has been quite some time since last I wrote. By the looks of it, somebody was paying attention when I mused giving the sometimes maligned and occasionally productive Willy Taveras a job in the organization. I knew if I left that entry up long enough, it would elicit a response.
Perhaps, we'd be better suited taking a look at the recent Trade Deadline movement.
The Braves have roared back to the top of the National League East this year. There was that little speed bump early, but now the team is primed to make a run in October for the first time since 2005.
While much has changed since that last playoff appearance, some things are eerily the same. Remember when Atlanta was making deadline deals that season? I do.
It's funny how the Braves were busy trying to bolster their bullpen some five years later and were thinking along those same lines. Kyle Farnsworth has been productive for the Royals this season. His power arm won't be expected to close games this time around, but should fit in nicely with the current mix to bridge the gap to Billy Wagner.
Atlanta also added outfielder Rick Ankiel in that trade with Kansas City. The jury is still out on what exactly Ankiel can bring over the course of a full season, but the Braves will seek to get every thing they can out of him in 2010.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that the price was particularly steep, but what I did find somewhat curious in the deal was the inclusion of left-handed reliever Tim Collins. Atlanta acquired Collins from the Toronto Blue Jays as part of the Yunel Escobar trade, but his stay in the organization proved to be brief.
Collins, just 5-foot-7, has very impressive strikeout numbers that come thanks to a wicked curveball. While he was named the Blue Jays Organizational Pitcher of the Year by MLB.com following last season, there are some who believe his eventual role in the majors would likely be that of lefty specialist.
After watching him pitch in the Florida State League last year, I have to say that there is just something special about the little lefty. His path to the Big Leagues should only improve with a move to the Royals organization. Seeing as Wagner was slight of stature and big on stuff, Collins could be a success story in the same vein down the road.
Parting ways with both Gregor Blanco and Jesse Chavez shouldn't impact the Braves whatsoever. If anything, adding a pair of more experienced players simply gives Bobby Cox more pieces to work with in his final campaign at the helm for the Braves. Depth is key.
QUICK HITS: Second baseman Martin Prado will try to avoid the disabled list after suffering a fractured pinky while sliding into home during the 10th inning of Friday's victory over the Reds. Atlanta can ill afford to lose the NL hits leader (138) and the team leader in runs scored (75). A decision will likely be made on Monday as to whether or not he will land on the 15-day DL… Hand injuries have been a common theme this season, but rookie standout Jason Heyward has bounced back nicely from the ailing left thumb that slowed him down prior to the All-Star Break. The right fielder is hitting .349/.453/.460 in 16 games since the break. He even threw in a steal of home last week against Washington to remind everyone just how impressive the soon-to-be 21-year-old truly is.
Till next time,

Kanye West Runaway Short FilmTuesday, October 26th, 2010
Kanye teamed up with Hype Williams to put together this 35 min short film that premiered in Paris last week. There are some nice visuals to go with a simple story of a scantily clad Phoenix crashing to earth and then being introduced to our society by Kanye. The music is the gem though, showcasing tracks off of his upcoming album 'My Dark Twisted Fantasy' Leave it to Kanye to once again do something different. Haters keep hating, but I love his artistic work.
