My due date was Wednesday, May 24. Early on, we told Emsy that she needed to wait until May 23rd so she'd be a Gemini like Daddy. The minute I was far enough along to safely deliver at the birth center, I decided a Taurus baby would be just peachy, so she could just hurry her little butt out of there. I decided sex would be a good idea again after having no desire throughout the pregnancy, so we heaved the giant belly into the air and made acrobatic love. At 38 weeks or so I started dilating, and could feel it in my cervix very localized, so I wasn't surprised when the midwife that week told me I was a fingertip dilated and 50% effaced. I kept cramping through the next week and at that next visit… still a fingertip. I had started getting calls asking when the baby was coming, and was really annoyed by them, because I was miserably heavy and achy and desperate to go into labor.
At my 40 week visit on Friday, still a fingertip, and Laurie suggested I get some Evening Primrose Oil and Raspberry Leaf Tea. We went immediately to the Health Food store and I took the maximum dose I could of the oil, and chugged the tea by the gallon. I was so bored and cranky it was terrible, and I was bloated like crazy, and my back was on strike.
Sunday night we go to Bu's Mom & Dad's for dinner, and they'd made a huge Appalachian comfort food meal. Bu tries to get me to eat some Turkey, since I'd given into poultry cravings a couple of times in my first trimester, but we were over that. I have gravy though. There's batter bread and sweet potato casserole, and I can't stop eating. I eat until I should be sick. Then I have another piece of bread. I amazed there is suddenly room in my belly for food. We hang out a little while in the kitchen discussing my stubborn cervix, how adorable the cradle is all empty and waiting, breastfeeding stories, etc. We finally go home and just hang around the house.
We are both up a little later than usual, and I go up to our bedroom to watch Buffy DVD's. Bu goes downstairs to the office to mess around on the computer.I pop in the DVD (Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 6, but I don't remember which episode) at 5 til midnight, lie down on the bed and get extremely comfortable and relaxed, then feel the weirdest tiny little pop. Immediately my brain races: That was my water. Ohmygoddess that was my water. Go to the toilet. It is going to gush everywhere in just a second. My water broke, I'm going to be in labor. Contractions any second. Mom's labor started with her water breaking, I knew mine would break early too. I make it to the toilet, and the whoosh comes. I feel very giddy, and yell down at Bu, "Come here! My water just broke!" He asks was I serious, well yes, and we talk about what to pack up (I'd packed the bare necessities but we had no DVD's, music, snacks for the birth center) and when to call the midwife and his parents and my aunt.
Right after this I notice that there is a green tinge to the waters, and slightly powdery looking stuff in the toilet. I know right away that I'm not going to the birth center and will have to deliver at the hospital. My high doesn't quite crash, but I'm in a sort of suspended, distant emotional state at that point. We call and have Laurie paged, and she calls right back from the hospital. I tell her about the meconium, and she tries to ascertain the color and thickness from my description- the color of green tea but thicker but not soup thick. Inexplicably, I lie about the powdery dark stuff, thinking I am not sure if it was just a dirty toilet- I know it isn't but I'm hanging onto a thread of hope I can still go to the birth center. We can't agree whether it was too thick, and if I should be admitted to the hospital. She says to wait one hour, sit on white pads or towels, and report back on the color. I call Debi, our doula, to tell her what was going on. She seems confused by Laurie's advice, or just sleepy, but we tell her we'll call when things got further along.
I sit on a couple of towels, totally grossed out by the squishy gushes that keep coming, and we call everyone to tell them what was up. We say we'll prepare for the birth center or the hospital, and keep everyone posted. After one hour, we call Laurie back. I report pretty much the same as before. She suggests we meet at the birth center and she'll check it, and if it was thick meconium we'd go to back to the hospital. The hospital is only 10 minutes from our house, and the birth center is 30. So I tell her we can come to the hospital, if it was easier for her. Bu shakes his head "no" as I am on the phone, not knowing I am talking to her about just meeting to check on things. Seeing his concern about not going to the birth center is great, and makes me feel so secure and glad I have him as a partner in this. The midwife says they'd want to admit me if they knew I was in labor, so to just go to triage and tell them she is going to check to see if my amniotic fluid is leaking.

With energy costs consistently rising, consumers are steadily searching
for ways to cut these expenses. For building professionals, the most energy-efficient,
eco-friendly technology available today is spray foam insulation.
Demilec is committed to operating and producing products that are environmentally
responsible. Our products are developed and created using renewable and
recycled materials, which also contributes to sustainable design.
Within the spray foam insulation and coatings industry, value engineering
involves considering various methods and construction materials, evaluating
those, then determining the most cost-effective path to achieve the desired result.
Open-cell spray foam is typically used in warmer climates.
Closed-cell spray foam is typically used in colder climates.
Used for various applications from fire retardants to truck bed liners.
One source for an air barrier system.
Health and safety are our top priority. As an industry leader in spray
foam insulation, we take our commitment to promoting safe practices and
educating people about our product seriously.
Extreme energy retrofit and energy expenditures per square foot are becoming
a hot commodity in commercial real estate. Existing property owners are

In this day and time, more and more commercial, as well as residential
buildings are being initially designed with Demilec's
spray foam insulation. Architects are relying on spray foam insulation to reduce energy costs,
controlling moisture, and improving indoor air quality and air infiltration.
However, spray foam insulation can provide the same benefits in an existing
structure with a retrofit.
According to the Department of Energy, if the building envelope includes
inefficient technologies and poor insulation, the building envelope can
contribute to higher heating and cooling costs – which account for
43 percent of the average energy consumption.* The building envelope is
designed to be the barrier that protects from the uncontrolled movement
of heat, air, and moisture. The same air infiltrating the home or commercial
building brings in outdoor pollutants, such as dust, dirt, pollen, and mold.
Extreme energy retrofit and energy expenditures per square foot are becoming
a hot commodity in commercial real estate. Existing property owners are
more knowledgeable today about how to reduce their energy costs.
Creating an air barrier, which lowers these costs, and provides a more
comfortable living or working space is how Demilec spray foam insulation
performs. Demilec makes spray foam insulation products which meet a wide
variety of commercial and residential retrofit projects.
Consider the following benefits of Demilec spray foam insulation:
Demilec works with the highest qualified contractors in the industry. These
are the professionals who will partner with you in choosing the best product
and application for your retrofit project. In addition, our Building Solutions
Department will provide support throughout your project – ready
to answer questions you may have, design specifications, applications,
or building codes.
"We enjoy the benefits of Demilec as a thermal barrier, air intrusion barrier and as a sound attenuation material. We plan on being a Demilec customer for many years to come."
"Demilec's hands-on approach, trouble-shooting capabilities, and preventative maintenance process anchors their industry-leading tech service."
"Your Heatlok Soy® 200 Plus is awesome. My guys and I tried at least five other brands, but Heatlok is the best. It is less sticky on the cap and does not clog as much as other brands."
"We are extremely impressed with the exceptional performance of your product and would highly recommend it to anyone considering utilizing spray foam in their home."

You can use Google Cloud Datastore to store application data from your App Engine app. Cloud Datastore is a database built for automatic scaling, high performance, and ease of application development.
This document describes how to use the Google Cloud Client Library to store and retrieve data using Cloud Datastore in an App Engine app.
Prerequisites and setup
Follow the instructions in "Hello, World!" for PHP on App Engine to set up your environment and project, and to understand how PHP apps are structured in App Engine. Write down and save your project ID, because you will need it to run the sample application described in this document.
Clone the repository
Download (clone) the sample:
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/php-docs-samples
cd php-docs-samples/appengine/flexible/datastore
Edit project configuration and set dependencies
Install dependencies using Composer:
composer install
Application code
The sample application logs, retrieves, and displays visitor IPs.
The application first instantiates a Cloud Datastore client:
$datastore = new DatastoreClient([
'projectId' => $projectId
Each visit is an entity with fields for the visitor's IP address and a timestamp, and is saved to Cloud Datastore using the insert command:
// Create an entity to insert into datastore.
$key = $datastore->key('visit');
$entity = $datastore->entity($key, [
'user_ip' => $user_ip,
'timestamp' => new DateTime(),
The ten most recent visits are retrieved in descending order using the query command:
// Query recent visits.
$query = $datastore->query()
->order('timestamp', 'DESCENDING')
$results = $datastore->runQuery($query);
$visits = [];
foreach ($results as $entity) {
$visits[] = sprintf('Time: %s Addr: %s',
$entity['timestamp']->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
index.yaml files
The sample app performs simple queries. More elaborate Datastore queries require
one or more indexes, which you must specify
in an
index.yaml file
that you upload along with your app. This file may be created manually, or
generated automatically while testing your app locally.
Local testing
If you need to develop and test your application locally, you can use the Cloud Datastore emulator.
For more information
For complete information on Cloud Datastore, including optimizations and concepts, see the Cloud Datastore documentation.

Finally, at this age, I get it. Adopting the idea of choosing one word for the year, I chose "FINISH." Beginning in December it looked like I might be able to finish a project I drew out of a jar. Listing about 20 UFO's, numbering them and cutting up little post-it notes, I wrote a number on each one to cover each UFO and folded them shut so I couldn't see the number. Into the jar they went.
The second list of the UFO's contained the location of each of them. Most projects went into a box together, but some couldn't fit and I had to find another location for those. This list of locations will save me many hours of searching when I've drawn a number for a project that isn't in the box. Yes! I need this list.
The first UFO I pulled out of the jar wasn't my first choice. But I made the rules and must abide with them. This first project is the Churn Dash blocks given to me by the Hall County Quilt Guild way back in 1999 as a gift for being their presiding president that year.
The photo shows the blocks put together as a 27" x 33" wall hanging, but still needs quilting, binding and a label. Maybe I'll get it finished by the end of February. You think? I can't wait to see what the next project will be. Sew on and sew forth!
I've been neglecting working on any hand applique for a while. I really wanted to keep up with it but life has a habit of getting in the way.
When asked recently to do a 8 1/2" block for a retiring business friend, the realization hit me that this was the perfect chance to get back in the game. The work was started and completed in just a couple of days. It was so great to be working on one of my favorite pastimes again and here's the photo of the block. The design is one by Nancy Pearson. In one of her classes years ago, we learned how to create depth using fabrics with this rose. I've kept that sample hanging in my studio all these years for inspiration.
Hand Needles and their numbering systemI've always been flummoxed by the numbering on hand needles. I thought that the larger the needle, the larger the number should be. It was confusing to me and I think to a few other handwork and hand sewing people too.
However, the other day I was remembering a book about inventions I had read years ago. One story really struck me. It was about King C. Gillette. One day in about 1895 the idea that he called a safety razor came to him. Back then they had straight razors and had to sharpen them on a strop back and forth. (Leather belt like thing.) I remember my dad doing that.
So Mr. Gillette had the safety razor but it had no blade. No one made steel thin enough to fit into the razor. After many tries he was about to give up. Finally in 1903 (eight years later) someone came up with a method of rolling the steel thin enough to fit into the razor. And the rest is history.
Now I know that the hand needles had to go through the same process. The processes and technology had to evolve in order to make the first large, wider needles smaller and thinner, little by little. Maybe that's why the finest needles have the largest numbers.
No more confusion for me. Yea! I love reading.
Check out the newest blog article and find out!
Remember Count Chocula, Boo Berry and Franken Berry cereals from the 70's? They've been pretty much unavailable since 2010. But now they are coming back for Halloween and will be available in September. These 3 cereals will have a limited time period in which they can be purchased.
So why am I writing about this you ask? And what do General Mills cereals and quilting have in common? Well nothing really, NADA, except.......General Mills wanted to redesign the characters for the cereal boxes.
They contacted DC Comics who, in turn, arranged for artists they've worked with to redo these characters. DC chose our son, Dave Johnson, to redesign Franken Berry. (I love his fingernails.) Credit to the
designers appears on the side of the boxes. The new designs are really cute and we're proud of our son, Dave.
I can't wait to see them in the stores so I can grab a few boxes. So if you remember Monster cereals or have sons and daughters who remember them and/or have grandchildren who've never heard of them, get to the grocery store and take a look.
If you would like pictures of how they look and the article written about this, click here.
I've had trouble with cramps in my feet and/or lower legs for a while now and they can happen at night. I used to have to stand up or get up and walk around a bit to "cure" them.
Lately, I've tried something new to me. It's called dill pickle juice. Ya ya, that stuff you throw away after the dill pickles are eaten up. I now keep some in the refrigerator. When a cramp comes, I just go drink a couple of tablespoons of it and go back to bed. Within minutes...no more cramps.
If you like dill pickles and get a cramp now and then, give it a try. It works for me. Yea!

Whether the actual write() is blocking, or the thread is just waiting for the c_write_cv, the result is the same - any other threads trying to write on the same connection will also block and eventually the thread pool will be used up.
Is there a particular reason why we monitor write events? I don't see any benefit. Eliminating one set of event sources would reduce our kernel load by half.I want to ask the same question, too. What was the original rationale behind the listener's waking up the write-wait workers via condition variable
Given this approach dates to Umich days, we can only guess at the answer.
One guess would be to reduce the number of active threads. Note that, with the intro of pools, this still has some relevancy. It would be bad to allow N blocked writers consume all the active threads. But there are various other ways of preventing this.
While just having the workers block on write is an option, I rather avoid letting workers block (on read or write) as this necessitates relying on large number of threads to ensure the whole system doesn't block. Many threading subsystems do not support well large number of concurrent threads.

I'm not sure which question I've heard more in the past month – "Where can I get one of your playmats?" or "What's the story with that playmat?" The answer to the first question is easy – right here! The answer to the second is a bit longer, and I figured I might as well share it here rather than tell everyone who asks individually.
Back in January, I went on the Magic Cruise with my girlfriend Natalie. For those of you who have not heard of it, the Magic Cruise is organized by Steve Port's Legion Events. Basically, it's a series of Magic tournaments on a cruise ship. Steve has been organizing the cruise for something like seven years now, and there's a whole crew of regulars who attend every year. This year was my first, as well as my first time on a cruise period, and it was an absolute blast. I highly recommend looking into attending in the future if you're a fan of both Magic and other fun things.
Something that I learned very quickly on my first cruise is that they're always trying to sell you things. Food is included, even room service, and you can get pizza and ice cream twenty-four hours a day. (My penchant for midnight pizza on the cruise may have been a contributing factor in my need for a fitness and nutrition regimen) Beyond that, though, they're constantly looking to take your money with drinks, souvenirs, and the like.
One of the omnipresent souvenir opportunities is pictures. There are photographers all over the ship, from the top decks to the dining room to the walkways off the ship at every port of call. Before dinner every night, there are a cluster of them set up in the hallway to the dining room, encouraging people to come get their picture taken with various backdrops.
A few nights during the cruise are formal nights, which are prime picture-taking time, since people are dressed their best. On one of those nights, Natalie and I went around from station to station having our pictures taken. We'd had a few drinks, so we were being pretty silly. At one of the stations, they had us pose together, and then had Natalie lay down on a lounge chair by herself for her solo shot. When it was my turn, I insisted on posing the exact same way. When we went to look at the pictures the next day, we knew we had to buy that one because it was just too funny.
When we got home, Natalie posted the picture on Facebook and encouraged all of my fans to print it out and have me sign it. People did exactly that, and someone even had it made into a playmat, which I thought was hilarious. I posted a picture of it on Twitter and Instagram and got dozens of replies from people asking where they could get one. I decided to make it possible for them to do so, and got in touch with Alan Hochman, who runs both Pastimes and Gamermats and sent him the image. He had samples of the mat ready for me at GP Phoenix a week later, and the rest, as they say, is history.
So there you have it. A playmat of me lounging in a suit exists literally due to popular demand. I had no idea this would be so popular when I first made it, and it's still hilarious and awesome to me every time someone asks me to sign their playmat at an event and pulls out one with me on it.
Thanks to everyone who has purchased a mat and helped support BMKGaming. If you're on the fence about whether you want one yourself, be sure to check out this catalog of uses for the mat created by the hilarious Allie Brosh of Hyperbole and a Half (who lost a bet to me, but I believe is sincere anyway). A better question is – how can you live without one? Get yours today!
If you want to support the site but seeing my smiling face every time you play a game of Magic isn't your thing, don't despair. I'm working on making more sweet stuff that I can shamelessly shill to you. Is the world ready for Shiro sleeves? Because they're coming. And they will be glorious.

Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd.'s CP, +1.01% first-quarter earnings were in line with guidance provided by the railroad earlier this month, and its operating ratio, a key operating measure, improved to 80.1% from 90.6% a year earlier.
Operating ratio, or the percentage of operating revenue consumed by operating costs, has been closely watched at Canada's second-biggest railroad as the company faces off with activist investor Bill Ackman over its performance.
CP earned C$142 million or 82 Canadian cents a share in its first quarter ended March 31, well ahead of the C$34 million or 20 Canadian cents it earned a year earlier.
Earnings were expected to be strong after CP preannounced results earlier this month, projecting a profit of 80-83 Canadian cents a share, well ahead of the Thomson Reuters mean estimate at the time of 65 Canadian cents.
The latest Thomson Reuters mean estimate was for a profit of 80 Canadian cents a share on revenue of C$1.33 billion.
Actual revenue came in at C$1.38 billion, up from C$1.16 billion a year earlier.
"Our record operating metrics are driving enhanced financial results," CP said in its earnings statement.
Operating expenses edged up to C$1.10 billion from C$1.05 billion, with average fuel prices up 12% to US$3.50 per U.S. gallon.
CP been facing increasing pressure from Ackman and his Pershing Square Capital Management LP to boost its operating performance after lagging behind bigger rival, Canadian National Railway Co. CNI, +0.65%. Ackman wants to replace CP Chief Executive Fred Green with Harrison Hunter, former head of CN, and has put forth a slate of his own nominees to replace the CP board.
The battle between CP and Ackman will come to a head at CP's annual meeting May 17 when CP shareholders will decide between the company's board nominees and Ackman's seven-person slate.
CN is scheduled to release its first-quarter results Monday.

it was a quick trip to Savannah one day last week. it was SUPER quick. why? oh, two toddlers and a five year old is why. but it was still worth it just to explore, see Spanish Moss up close, see the gorgeous architecture, experience a southern city and have yummy seafood for lunch. here are a few photos from our adventure: gah. the spanish moss is beautiful! and the gorgeous old houses? amazing. and i wanted to take home ALL the magnolia leaves. all these doors were amazing. and of course we found a park.
by the end the kids(and us adults) were exhausted and hot. but it was so fun to experience a different city, an area of the country i've never visited. the cobblestone streets and the spanish moss make me want to go back some day!
God has created some beautiful places in our world, it's so fun to explore them and be amazed at His creativity! #masterdesigner

How to Enjoy Life: Do What You Hate
My first encounter with Italy was in the Spring of 2004. It was the end of my senior year in high school and I was on a 2 week tour of Italy. It was then that I discovered that bus tours and I do not get along. Long hours in stale air on winding roads with a motion-sickness-prone, ADD girl, are not the key ingredients for a good time. However, it was on that trip that I fell in love with Italy and promised myself to one day return. It was also on that trip that I would meet a tour guide whose words, over 6 years later, have never left me. We sat at the beach at a restaurant that was on a dock. A long wooden "sidewalk", if you will, stretched out into the water from the beach. Small, colorful houses littered the mountainous terrain around the enclosed waters. The sun was beaming and nothing but a few, scattered clouds in the sky. A few of us, along with my tour guide, opted for a non-pizza lunch and sat at the dock-style restaurant, enjoying the shade of a white, tent-like roof. It is my fondest memory of my first trip to Italy. Pasta with fresh calamari from the very sea that lay below me sat in my stomach with its fresh flavor lingering on my tongue as we spoke about life.
I can't remember the name of my tour guide, although I can see her face clearly. She was bursting at the seams with piss and vinegar and a passion for life. It was there that she said to,
"Chase Life."
I have had my own love affair with that statement since it was first introduced to me at my ripe age of 18 in a foreign land. Post Italy and previous to my adventures to Cuba in 2006, I loved it. I firmly believed in chasing life, since in fact, I had felt cooped up for what was then 2o years. I had damn well better chase life or else it was going to run even further away from me than it already had! Upon my return to Italy in 2008 for a State Department internship at an American Embassy, I felt that chasing life was too forced and that it should come to you more naturally. Now, in 2010, as a soon to be jobless (t minus 24 hours) 24 year old relocating to NYC on a gut feeling, what do I now think of chasing life?
- When you feel life fleeting from you
- When you feel that you missed the train yet again
- When you find yourself staring into space wondering what you're doing with your life
- When you have dreaded life consistently despite strong efforts to improve situation
- When you are jealous of the people you love
It's time. It's time to chase life. And the statement itself is ironic. Chasing life implies that life ran off somewhere and that you have to go find her. The real truth is that she's waiting for you, patiently, but you turned your back to her for more important things, like the pursuit of SUV's, the ever-important corporate latter, the newest True Religion jeans or a big screen TV. You told life to wait a long time ago and when you realize the time you have spent unwisely, you may feel compelled to in fact "chase life". But don't get your jogging shoes on quite yet or begin to run down the street in search of the missing life. She's already within your grasp.
She's within you.
Life = growth, excitement and passion.
If these 3 characteristics are not in your life recipe, then you need to make changes, NOW.
Remember, the art of "chasing life" is not to be in a frenzy of constant action, physically hunting down every moment like an OCD tourist who only has 24 hours to see all of NYC. It is often times more a passive acceptance and welcoming of life with intentional action towards healthy goals.
So what excites you? What personal goals have you been putting off, maybe due to negative social influence? What, after 5 all-nighters, would you wake up at 7 am to do? What gives you butterflies?
Many of you probably don't know or you say something you always say (automatic response), but don't really feel any connection to. I've done it. "Lauryn what do you like to do?" Lauryn replies, "Travel." Don't get me wrong. I love to travel, but at times I've said it so much that I've long since forgotten what to travel means. It has become stale and cold to me. No passion, no excitement, no growth. A dead dream.
How to Enact Positive Change
Sit down today and envision yourself as a cartoon character. What type of character would you be? Would the character be happy, laughing and upbeat? Would he be energetic or tired? Would he be stressed, worried and with bad posture? Would he be smiling or would be sad? Write out a description of this character as if you had to describe him to a cartoon artist to draw.
Now, for all the negative qualities you have identified (e.g. he has a stressed face, he's overweight, he is sad, etc.), ask yourself out loud, "[Insert name] Why are you [quality]? Now be silent and allow the voice to vent. Listen to what our voice says. Then ask yourself, "[Insert name], would you like to be more [insert the opposite of the negative characteristic]?
The likelihood is that yes, you are going to want positive change. When you tell yourself yes, let that also resonate with you for a few moments. Pause and let that desire for positive change rise within you. That's life. That's the art of "chasing life" when she's lost touch with you. Now, for all the characteristics you would like to change to live a happier, healthier and more positive life, write down 3 immediate action steps to take for each characteristic over the course of 3 days. You must follow through with your list. No excuses.
Here is my own example:
My cartoon image: I tend to be stressed, but with high, upbeat energy. So my cartoon might have a smile with a furrowed brow (stress). To me, the furrowed brow indicates stress and discontentment. I may look something like this:
- Question #1: "Lauryn, why are you so stressed and discontent?"
- And then I would listen.
- The response: "I'm stressed because I don't know what I'm doing. I think that by being stressed, it gives me more control of my life situation. I am afraid of failing as a young entrepreneur. All I want to do is succeed and I am so afraid I won't."
- Pause and reflect. Let the voice talk a bit. He has some venting to do!
- Question #2: "Lauryn, would you like to be more relaxed (opposite of stressed)?"
- Response: "Yes, I would love to be more relaxed."
- Question #3: "What is one major stress factor you can eliminate? What are 3 immediate steps you can take over the course of the next 3 days to accomplish that task (1 new task per day)?
- Response: "Well, I tend to get really stressed when I don't have a lot of social contact or physical activity. So, I want to find something to do where I am physically active and around other people. My action plan will look like:
- Day 1: Research social groups in area that promote physical wellness and/or entrepreneurship: 30 min.
- Day 2: Analyze options and pick top 3 that I like based on appeal, pricing and location: 30 min.
- Day 3: Contact organizations and set up a appointments to check out the groups as a visitor.
- Ultimate goal: join a group and make the change into a positive habit of spending time with quality people and improving my physical health. Yea!
What are you waiting for? Get motivated!
O, before I forget, what does chasing life mean to you?
Tell me what you think.
Who knows, you may even change my view on it!

Walgreens has filed a $140 million lawsuit against blood-testing company Theranos, a former business partner.
In the complaint filed on Tuesday in the District Court of Delaware, Walgreens alleges that Theranos has breached a contract, but details are scarce as the retailer has gotten the complaint sealed due to non-disclosure agreements, according to media reports. A Walgreens' spokesman confirmed to Fortune that the company has filed the lawsuit but declined to share more details.
Theranos and Walgreens first teamed up in 2010, and opened Theranos "Wellness Centers" in 40 locations where they offered blood-tests to patients. Theranos, founded in 2003 by Elizabeth Holmes, set out to develop technology that would allow for blood tests to be performed with just a few drops of blood from a finger prick.
Get Data Sheet, Fortune's technology newsletter.
In the past year, however, a series of reports from the Wall Street Journal raised questions about the technology and its accuracy. Since then, Theranos has found itself at the receiving end of multiple lawsuits and government investigations. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services also banned Holmes from operating a lab for two years, and in June, Walgreens severed its ties with the company.
Walgreens' lawsuit reportedly claims that it was misled by Theranos over the state of its blood-testing technology when the companies first struck a deal and even as its technology was beginning to be challenged, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous sources. Walgreens invested $140 million in Theranos in the form of debt convertible to equity, which is the amount it seeks to recover in the lawsuit.
For more on Theranos, watch this Fortune video:
"We are disappointed that Walgreens filed this lawsuit. Over the years, Walgreens consistently failed to meet its commitments to Theranos," the company said in a statement published on its website. "Through its mishandling of our partnership and now this lawsuit, Walgreens has caused Theranos and its investors significant harm. We will respond vigorously to Walgreens' unfounded allegations, and will seek to hold Walgreens responsible for the damage it has caused to Theranos and its investors."
Last month, Theranos announced it was closing down its its labs and "Wellness Centers," and shifting its efforts onto its "minilab," a device for blood-testing it intends to sell to clinics. It laid off 340 employees, or nearly half of the 790 employees it had as of August.

Sunday brunch with the busiest kitchen and a fun mix of different foods. When my friend Carol invited us to brunch, I had no idea that it would consist of 10-15 people in one kitchen all working on different things. It was hectic but it was so funny to witness and be apart of. I worked on scrambled eggs while Carol made pancakes while Tristan made pop-overs while Jeff made Gerald's "fucking fantastic french toast" (see above). And so on. In addition we had fresh fruit, pita and garlic hummus, and potato pancakes. I'm pretty sure I'm missing a lot, too.
Usually, this kind of chaos can be overwhelming but on Sunday it just made me laugh.

Lichfield, Staffs - Armed anti-terror cops swooped on a motorway coach this morning following reports of noxious fumes wafting from a passenger's luggage.
An emergency 999 call from a London-bound Megabus claimed someone had 'poured hot water into a bag' sparking hysteria of an airplane-style 'liquid nitrogen bomb'.
Fifty heavily armed terrorism specialists evacuated the bus from the M6 toll motorway in what early media reports described as a frightening plot.
Half an hour later the major terror incident turned out to be nothing more sinister than a tomato-flavoured pot noodle - which a passenger activated with some hot water from a thermos flask.
"The West Midlands Anti-Terror unit's completely gone to pot!" is how one disgruntled passenger put it in a tweet at lunchtime as news of the offending snack-alert spread.
The hungry owner of the fast food item was seen 'shackled and cuffed' sitting on the motorway hard shoulder complaining loudly about 'human frights'.
A Home Office spokesman has declined to comment.

Stasha's Moment - Exploring Utah
Stasha's Moment - Exploring Utah
I was building a fire with my son at our campsite in Utah when our neighbor passed by to say hello.
After introductions and pleasantries, the man admitted he felt compelled
to check on us and see if he could help. We woke up to over a foot of snow earlier that day and we were expecting another storm so he invited us to stay with his family in their giant trailer parked next to our tent. After we politely declined he said to me: ' You are a brave woman, traveling across the country with your son and dogs all alone.'
Surely meant as a compliment but I nevertheless found it odd. I had set out a few days earlier on a road trip with my boys to celebrate my six year old's first spring break. My husband had to travel for work so he could not join us and our dogs came along because, unlike fish, you cannot leave them home with an automatic feeder. That was the whole story. No heroic adventures
of superwoman surviving in the wilderness or a mom with an "anything you can do I can do better" attitude.We wanted to see a big canyon so we drove down south until we found one we liked, which we then explored. Along the way we met some keen folks, my son made friends, my dogs swam in a salt lake, we got snowed on, we climbed sand dunes, saw a whole lotta arches and bought an overpriced cowboy hat. All and all, a fairly typical family vacation.
We all expose our children to familiar things we are good at and feel comfortable teaching. There is no bravery in bringing up children, just love. Parents all over the world, every single day, insure that their children thrive and learn so that one day they too find their own
happiness and calling. I used to travel for a living so exploring the world with my family comes more naturally than crafting at the table or doing science experiments.
Truth be told, if the neighbor offered us dinner instead of shelter this whole story would
have been different. Just because I know how to build a perfect campfire doesn't mean I can actually cook something edible on it. And I am brave enough to admit that.

Clinical trials are a set of procedures in medical research conducted to allow safety (or more specifically, information about adverse drug reactions and adverse effects of other treatments) and efficacy data to be collected for health interventions (e.g., drugs, diagnostics, devices, therapy protocols). These trials can take place only after satisfactory information has been gathered on the quality of the non-clinical safety, and Health Authority/Ethics Committee approval is granted in the country where the trial is taking place.
Depending on the type of product and the stage of its development, investigators enroll healthy volunteers and/or patients into small pilot studies initially, followed by larger scale studies in patients that often compare the new product with the currently prescribed treatment. As positive safety and efficacy data are gathered, the number of patients is typically increased. Clinical trials can vary in size from a single center in one country to multicenter trials in multiple countries.
Due to the sizable cost a full series of clinical trials may incur, the burden of paying for all the necessary people and services is usually borne by the sponsor who may be a governmental organization, a pharmaceutical, or biotechnology company. Since the diversity of roles may exceed resources of the sponsor, often a clinical trial is managed by an outsourced partner such as a contract research organization or a clinical trials unit in the academic sector.
Clinical trials involving new drugs are commonly classified into four phases. Each phase of the drug approval process is treated as a separate clinical trial. The drug-development process will normally proceed through all four phases over many years. If the drug successfully passes through Phases I, II, and III, it will usually be approved by the national regulatory authority for use in the general population. Phase IV are 'post-approval' studies.
Before pharmaceutical companies start clinical trials on a drug, they conduct extensive pre-clinical studies.

A Few Words About Purchasing "Dissect The Recall"
It's been a month since the album was officially released, and we thank every one of you that have bought a copy. Ethan will give you all kisses. For those of you who are just discovering the band and want to get your hands on these delightful sonic arrangements, you have options!
Ol' reliable. We're proud to have our music in the most innovative and widely used digital music store. However, playing with the big boys and girls comes with a cost. Not a large one, but a cost nonetheless. The good people at Apple keep $0.34 for every $0.99 sold. We got on iTunes through digital distribution with CD Baby, who takes an additional 9% of income payed to them from digital retailers. That means we get about $0.51 for every song sold on iTunes. Not too shabby considering the convenience and ease of use for our fans. Plus you can use up your old gift cards!
CD Baby
As mentioned above, we use CD Baby for our digital distribution, as well as physical CD sales. CD Baby is a great company helping independent artists get their music to the world since 1997. It's a company run by musician for musicians. How can you go wrong? They keep 25% of downloads directly from their site and $4 per physical CD. Again, a small price to pay for all that CD Baby offers. You can read more about CD Baby here: CDBaby.com/about.
And check out our music on CD Baby here: The Wire Frames on CDBaby.com
DigStation is a another digital music store for independent artists, but the catch is that the artists keep 100% of their sales! Simple as that. We got on DigStation through Disc Makers, the company that pressed our CDs. We know it's not as convenient as iTunes, but if you're looking for the best way to support the band, this is the option for you. It's not that we're greedy, we just want to keep doing this for a long time. If you purchase from this site, Ethan will make it a tongue-kiss.
Dissect The Recall is also available for sale, or will be shortly, on these sites:
Thanks again! We couldn't ask for better fans!
-Curtis Weigel

Personal Stories
powerful stories of growth from some of our inspiring friends
VEP Story – Gloria Kenney
We are always meeting and working with a lot of new and wonderful people. One of the programs that brings us into contact with people whose stories are always incredible is the Veteran's Employment Program (VEP). We asked one of our recent clients, Gloria Kenney, to share about her experiences. Gloria was excited, and had the following to say:
"In the past, in my military career, and my civilian jobs, I felt like I had given over 100%. But when I came here, I felt like it was being given back to me. My intake here [at River City] was lovely. I was not only fed physically, but emotionally, psychologically and more physically.
At River City, we as veterans are also reminded to fish [for jobs]. Ms. Smith shared a questionnaire with me. She explained what she was doing regarding the ONET. That questionnaire reminded me of other characteristics I had, as far as being investigative, conventional and enterprising, which was helpful in realizing what other fields or industries that my KSA could help me use my transferable skills to obtain jobs in other related fields.
Another thing I like about this organization is that I love the diversity regarding educational levels and the variety of educational expertise of the staff members of the team.
During my intake, I gave my situation and circumstances. My needs were precisely and specifically extrapolated and addressed.
My civilian education consists of business, biology, science and computer curriculum, and dental. I received assistance with getting my license renewed both in New York and Virginia which will result in me being able to make suitable or close to suitable income in the future. Even if I am not practicing dentistry clinically soon, it will facilitate me in obtaining faculty level positions and/or instructor positions in the medical, hospital or educational settings.
It was shared with me that, until I get the job that I feel I want and the income I desire, it is ok to work a different job to sustain. I may not have realized it at the time because of the positions I had in the past were dental: 2 residences and 2 fellowships. Those compensations ranged from $40,000-$57,000. But until I am able to pay for the supplemental pieces of the licensure, some employers won't really discuss their opportunities with me until I have the license in hand. In the meantime, income or hourly pay jobs will facilitate me in obtaining those supplemental items such as: paying for transcripts, national board scores, health practitioner databank reports and Virginia PSI law exams. I may not have understood the importance of "mean-time" work because I was depressed. Between May 2011 and today, I have experienced three family deaths, including my mom who passed away in March 2012 and my uncle, who was my father figure in July 2012.
The staff communicates with us good. And I feel the communication is good overall because we are able to communicate via email as well.
"The brochure is special. When I look at it, I see the photo of the solider or veteran, who is walking away wondering what to do. When I came here, I was fed not only physically, but psychologically and emotionally. Here, 100% is given to me. My needs were extrapolated and addressed. I could tell that the goals of this organization were unique and special.
"The picture on the brochure communicates our [River City] intended goals.
This office setting is unique and extremely nice. We can utilize the computer, the phones, fax, and scanning. Otherwise we would be paying for these services, even in the public library and/or places such as Kinko's. And it is really close to downtown.
The organization is like a pie: it is split up into pieces of financial, housing, transportation, mental health, and job leads. And they serve the whole pie.
I love the peer support groups that are offered on Mondays. The peer support groups are extremely good, facilitated by Ms. Canaday [the Lead Case Manager]. I had not experienced that in the past. I was able to have small talk with other veterans, mostly who had served active duty, 7 days a week. I was a reservist. We are able to share information with each other, often times helping us resolve our own issues faster.
I have a job interview on Monday [July 1, 2013] thanks to the resources from River City and DAV.
I am usually in someone's library six days a week, using the computers. My goal is make certain I attend the peer support groups while out of school for the summer.
The administrator from the Adult Evening Tech Center, (RTC) Mr. William Baul, …. In the group, there were 52 students: 51 men and myself are in this group. I wondered, 'should I stay?' But for me, it was good. The group is excellent, I enjoy the curriculum. Mr. Baul recognizes something good in me; he recognized that I have skills that could be used in the overall cohort study (military/the VA) [they know the end result and they are working backwards]. This year of guaranteed financial assistance we are receiving from this program , approved by the DOL and paid to us by the VA, helps us to address a lot of other issues we need to address and helps us to get through the course we chose at Richmond Technical Center, which for me is Computer Support Systems.
"Since I came back to Richmond, I signed up for VRAP. The AMVET rep was able to assist me, he comes to the VA one day a week from Ft. Lee, and helped me put together my claim. I also attend DAV meetings (and I may have job lead from that). I also volunteer for DAV as well, volunteering on two Sundays at Golden Coral collecting donations and educating the public. I went to the VEC (I also received a lot of assistance from the Veteran rep from the VEC) and a veteran there referred me to Wounded Warriors. I was looking for a job and VEC got the ball rolling. Wounded Warriors referred me to River City. I came and did an intake, was assisted and also referred to David Williams at DLW Vet Outreach. I experienced the wonderful assistance of intensive case management from these various organizations. The specific assistance I got from DLW was to be able to go back to the VA to have my claim expedited because I was at risk for homelessness.
It is an asset having Ms. Tumlin and Mr. Morris on the VEP team. Ms. Tumlin has been a part of the service and is very knowledgeable about soldiers and veterans. Mr. Morris has many years of experience [in the human service field]."
Ms. Kenney possesses a strong desire to obtain employment within her field, even if it is part time.

Always One Mission Ahead
See the Clear Difference
Gen 2 vs Gen 3
Harris Gen 3 systems deliver significant advantages for warfighters rapidly moving through varying mission scenarios. Technologies in our image intensifier tubes are far superior to Gen 2, allowing warfighters to see more detail at a greater distance in low- and varied-light conditions. Forces can recognize and identify threats faster, increasing mission performance while significantly lowering risks. Harris Gen 3 image intensifier tubes reduce costs, while delivering greater reliability, longer life clarity and fewer replacements.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Our simulated comparison shows that Gen 3 image intensifier tubes outlast Gen 2 tubes 4 to 1, resulting in significant cost savings. They are more reliable, lasting 4 to 5 times longer than Gen 2 tubes and deliver a greater level of performance including enhanced clarity especially in no and low-light scenarios.
Gen 3 tubes last 4 to 5 times longer than Gen 2 tubes
0 Hours
This is a simulation and is for demonstration purposes only.
60 Years of Industry-Leading Innovations
Since World War II, U.S. and allied forces in 99 countries have turned to us for a critical tactical advantage—night vision. Our legacy of innovation began with ITT, evolved into the digital realm with Exelis in the 21st century and continues today at Harris as we enter a new era of the networked battlespace.
Swipe or use arrows to explore timeline
The first traveling wave tube is shipped from our Roanoke, Virginia plant. Early Gen 0 night vision aids were first used during WWII and the Korean conflict, and required an infrared illumination device to light up the target area.
The U.S. Army awards a $4 million contract for Gen 1 tubes for use in starlight scopes during the Vietnam War. The tubes were the first to intensify ambient light instead of an infrared source.
Development begins on Gen 2 night vision goggles in Roanoke, Virginia. This new generation of intensifier technology benefitted from introduction of the Microchannel Plate (MCP). The MCP improved image quality and reduced weight and size, allowing the design of smaller goggles and handheld devices.
Early Gen 0 and Gen 1 night vision technologies were too heavy and impractical for aviation use. By the early 1970s, our engineering advancements provided the first night vision goggles and nightscopes for pilots of fixed or rotary wing aircraft.
A year of significant growth, with the opening of a new administration building, workforce reaching 730 and sales hitting a record $40 million.
We received the first production contract for the Gen 3 AN/AVS-6 aviation night vision goggle. This latest generation featured new Gallium Arsenide photocathodes, giving warfighters threat detection over greater distances and in darker conditions. The addition of a protective MCP ion film expanded tube life and reliability.
Soldiers aboard Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters arrive at ITT facility to pick up 47 ANVIS aviation goggles and then fly off into the dark.
We started development of the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle for the U.S. Army. This breakthrough technology optically combined images from two sensors, providing improved mobility, Situational Awareness and clearer target identification through an overlay of thermal and image-intensified night vision.
Capacity expansion project is in full swing, including the addition of 19,000 sq. ft. of building space, 60,000 sq. ft. of renovations and three acres of additional parking.
The 1,000,000th Gen 3 intensifier tube is manufactured in Roanoke.
ITT Night Vision engineering and production becomes Exelis Night Vision.
We launched the i-Aware® TM-NVG family of night vision solutions. These innovative solutions, the F6045 and F6044, keep commanders and tactical edge forces connected with real-time sharing of tactical intelligence. Warfighters can instantaneously capture, upload and share graphics and video. They also have access to full-color UAV feeds, GPS information and target locations. The F6045 has an added fusion of infrared and image-intensified capabilities and remains today's only night vision goggle equipped with a digital camera.
We introduced enhanced white phosphor night vision solutions with superior resolution, performance and operational life.
Harris Corporation acquires Exelis.
We debut the F5032 Lightweight Night Vision Binocular featuring industry-leading close-focus range, giving near-eye clarity to read detailed intelligence, aid in medical support and operate radios in low and no-light environments. Low-profile engineered to reduce warfighter burden, the binocular is equipped with an integrated IR illuminator and vertical viewing technologies to prevent visioning shutoff during critical scenarios.
Continued technology partnerships result in our introduction of the F7030 clip-on night vision weapon sight – one of the most sensitive and advanced night vison scopes available for military use today. Developed in conjunction with Knight's Armament Company (KAC), the F7030 ensures the accuracy of the day scope boresight. The refractive lens provides high-performance light collection in a lightweight design and features the patented Single Interchangeable Battery®, delivering 24 hours of continuous operation.
The Power of Choice
Illuminate your mission with white or green phosphor
Each mission and warfighter has unique tactical demands.
That's why Harris offers options for white or green phosphor in our night vision solutions.
Slide to see the difference
White phosphor delivers images in black and white detail, which may appear more natural to the eye. In some situations, users claim seeing greater contrast between objects, along with higher image resolution at greater distances.
Green phosphor capitalizes on a wavelength which optimizes the brain's perception of detail and contrast. Green falls exactly in the middle of the eye's color spectrum, allowing users to better detect and interpret night time scenery.
Our Night Vision team is dedicated to product quality and performance.

The importance of getting your
affairs properly in order was
highlighted once again this year
in the Court of Appeal case of
King v The Chiltern Dog Rescue
and others [2015] EWCA Civ 581.This case
involved the examination and narrowing of
the little known doctrine of Donatio Mortis
Causa,which translates roughly as "a gift
made in anticipation of death".
What if you come towards the end of
your life and realise that you have not left
your estate to those you truly want to
inherit? The problem in these situations is
that to transfer property on death requires a
valid will and that the transfer of land in your
lifetime must always be carried out formally
in writing and by executing a deed. That is
why, in some circumstances, the court will
invoke this somewhat strange rule that the
normal formalities don't apply because it was
a gift made in anticipation of death.
The Chiltern Dog rescue case concerned
the gift of a house by an elderly lady, Mrs
Fairbrother, to her nephew,Mr King.
In March 1998,Mrs Fairbrother made a
will, leaving some small gifts to friends and
relatives and leaving the bulk of her estate to
seven charities, including the Chiltern Dog
Rescue. By 2007, Mrs Fairbrother was frail
and elderly and Mr King went to live with her
and to care for her. Around November 2010,
she presented Mr King with the title deeds to
her house and said:"This will be yours when I
Mr King claimed that his aunt's choice of
words and the way she looked at him made it
clear that she knew her health was failing and
that her death was approaching. He took the
deeds from her and placed them in his
wardrobe for safekeeping.Mrs Fairbrother
died in April 2011.During the six months
before her death,Mrs Fairbrother signed
three separate documents, purporting to
leave her property to Mr King but
unfortunately none of these documents
constituted a valid will.
The will of 1998 therefore took effect,
and Mr King was faced with the proposition
of being forced to move out of the house.He
had nowhere else to live. He argued
successfully at court that the house had been
gifted to him in anticipation of his aunt's
However, the charities appealed the case
to the Court of Appeal and were successful
in overturning the decision on the basis that
the original judge had incorrectly applied the
law. The decision to overturn the original
judgment hinged on the fact that Mrs
Fairbrother, although elderly and frail, did not
have a reason to expect to die imminently
such as having terminal cancer or a
potentially mortal wound. Therefore the
house had not been gifted in anticipation of
The lesson from this case is simple.Get
your affairs in order as early as possible and
do it properly through a solicitor.Had the
documents Mrs Fairbrother signed been valid
wills then this case would have never come
about and Mr King would still be living in the
house.Although Donatio Mortis Causa exists
for exceptional circumstances, it is not the
type of rule that I would recommend anyone
to rely on.
To stop situations like this from arising, I
would recommend that a person reviews
their will regularly; at least every five years
and whenever there is any significant change
in their life.This is the best way that you can
ensure that the ones you love benefit from
your estate after you die.

Qatar Air Conditioner Market Revenues to Reach $665 Million by 2023 - 6Wresearch
17 July, 2017
Despite a considerable plunge in oil prices, Qatar is standing at the forefront of emerging as one of fastest growing economies in the GCC region. Qatar's infrastructure sector and housing projects registered healthy investments worth $27 billion annually since 2010. These investments included variety of projects, among which were the development of economic zones, stadiums, hotels and other public and private infrastructure to host the World Cup in 2022. The event has been the major reason for Qatar not restricting its investments as compared to its neighboring countries in the wake of low oil prices.

Last month my family and I attended the Cunningham Park performance of the New York Philharmonic, part of their Concerts in the Park program. I first went with RO years ago, and have been taking my parents since (I skip the ones held at the Great Lawn in Central Park as they're simply too hectic). Typically, the folks bring food, lawn chairs, and blankets from the house and my brother and I meet them at the park after work, but this year I told my parents I would take care of dinner. However, since I was a little lost for inspiration and short on time, I turned to the old standby: spicy tuna kimbap (and assorted pajeon) from Woorijip. Like I said, kimbap makes the perfect picnic food.
Since there were more of us this year than just my family—TC and her family met us there, and GQ came along too—I also hopped down to Chinatown to pick up several bánh mì from Sau Voi Corporation, which I've written about before. Two of the special, and two of the grilled chicken variety; both were great. Sau Voi is actually growing on me as one of the most consistently tasty bánh mì in town.
Aside from avoiding the crowds, the other main draw for going to Cunningham Park is that their firework display at the end is awesome, way more awesome than the one in Central Park, which you can only see off in the distance. At Cunningham they really do look like they're falling on your head, and for me (and TC) it's the real highlight of the night. Especially after our debacle at the LIC piers just a week or so earlier, it was just what we needed to satisfy out fireworks jones.

Letter to the House on Rural Schools
April 10, 2013
Dear Representative:
On behalf of the more than three million members of the National Education Association, we would like to offer our views in connection with a bill included in tomorrow's hearing, "Restoring Healthy Forests for Healthy Communities Act." We thank the Committee for addressing this vital issue and exploring options for reauthorizing and reforming the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act.
Before the Act was first passed, funding for many schools near national forests had dropped dramatically due to declining revenues from timber sales—in some cases, to less than ten percent of historic levels. Students were severely impacted as teachers and education support professionals were laid off, extracurricular programs eliminated, and desperately needed building repairs postponed.
The Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act offered a solution: consistent and reliable funding for over 4,400 schools in 770 rural counties located near national forests across America. Tens of thousands of students have benefited from the program. Without it, schools and libraries in many rural communities would have closed, mental-health services would have been eliminated, educators and other public service employees would have been laid off, search-and-rescue operations and sheriffs' patrols would have been curtailed.
Nevertheless, forested communities in rural areas continue to struggle with extreme poverty, double-digit unemployment, and experience a host of other pressures. We know that children do best when their communities provide economic opportunities that allow parents to provide for their families—without such opportunities, families and entire communities in remote forested areas will continue to struggle. We urge Congress to consider the economic vitality of rural communities in the context of this broader discussion.
We look forward to working with the Committee to craft a long-term, sustainable approach to meeting the needs of students and ensuring the economic vitality of forested communities in rural areas. Thank you for the opportunity to submit these comments.
Mary Kusler
Director, Government Relations

Ramos Brothers Premiere Art Video, Sound, Painting Collaboration
Phasing Moments
Eclectic Gallery
60 Calhoun St
Battle Creek, MI 49017
Troy Ramos, Video & Sound
Chris Ramos, Paintings
From our press release just before the show opened on Oct. 13, 2017:
ArtHouse 43 presents Phasing Moments, an art show created by Troy Ramos and Chris Ramos! This show features artworks using three mediums: video, sound and paintings. These works were created using the naturalism approach (a term coined by Troy Ramos), which is a momentary-form where works are created in as short amount of time as possible, so as to capture the state of mind at a particular point in time and space. There are 9 total works: three paintings, three videos and three sound works.
These works also have an interesting collaborative, twist, however. The art works were created in the spirit of the works created before them. Using video, sound and painting, the artists took an idea, started with one medium and then passed this idea back and forth, using the previous works as a starting point to create a new work. This process was then repeated every time, with each work of art being connected to all of the previous works in some way.
"Everything in this world emanates from something that already exists. Art is no different.", says Troy Ramos. "We simply wanted to create a collection of artworks that were more strongly connected to each other, rather than with some outside force."
Each stage of this metamorphosis produced an artwork formed by both the medium and its place in the process itself. The results of this process are what make up the art works in Phasing Moments. It is simply an art show that focuses on both process and the transformation of ideas which were passed through different phases, the result of each phase producing its own unique result and compiling an interesting collection of works overall.
"The process we developed to exchange one idea to the next was very interesting, and the resulting artwork leaves traces of what it was like to be inside the mind of the artists at each of the nine phases." says Chris Ramos. "I think people will find the show captivating in that sense, and we are excited to see their reactions."
This show is made possible through a generous grant by The Battle Creek Community Foundation. This project is also sponsored by the Art Center of Battle Creek and Battle Creatures, LLC.

That's how Amazon and Uber are winning. They disrupted the marketplace by focusing on the individual and winning at scale. Most mature businesses aren't entrepreneurial enough to see that, nimble enough to adapt to that, and engaged enough to see the opportunity of focusing on the individuals defining business today.
