Illustrated companion
In 'Guitar' the sense of life comes also from the texture of the surface, prepared with a layer of special plaster painted on while wet, from the physical bite of the incised lines, and perhaps above all from the nervous, bounding, calligraphic quality of the line itself which makes such a vivid presence of the guitar. Nicholson plays a Cubist game with the relationship between the material, wood, of which guitars are made, the fact that the picture is evidently on a wooden panel, and the fact that the wood colour and surface that we see is not natural but beautifully created by the artist. The fluently incised wavy line at the top of the panel serves a decorative compositional function but also describes a distant hilly horizon suggesting that Nicholson has imagined the guitar placed in front of a window. The red-striped white form might be a pottery jug, although its stripes also echo the frets of the guitar. Evidence of the influence of Surrealism on Nicholson at this time, is his description of this work as 'the scratched Surrealist guitar'.

Geopark moved forward with a slimmed-down IPO on Thursday as stock indices in Brazil, Chile and Mexico traded up
Chilean oil and gas firm Geopark was set to finalize its New
York listing on Thursday, as stock indices recovered after a
troubled start to the week.
Chile's IPSA index rose 1.12% on Thursday,
while the Ibovespa was up 2.39% and Mexico's IPC
increased by 1.02%.
Geopark cut the size of its deal, lowered the target price,
and took support from existing owners, after struggling to sell
20m shares at $8 to $10 apiece as planned. Yet the fact the
deal was advancing was something of a victory after share
markets fell earlier this week.
Volatility and dire market conditions forced
Grupo Gigante to
postpone its IPO of Office Depot de Mexico on
Wednesday, it said. The Mexican firm had offered 253m shares at
MXN16 to MXN18 apiece, meaning it could have raised up to
MXN4.5bn ($333m).
Brazilian auto part maker
Fras-le also halted its share
sale. It had planned a follow-on, but stepped back
amid the unfavorable conditions. Under Brazil's
capital markets rules, the firm could pick up the deal in the
next 60 days without refiling documentation, LatinFinance
Latin equity markets have had a bad start to the year. They
were badly hit last month by a sweep of worrying news for
emerging market investors, including Argentina's
surprise devaluation of the peso.
At $6.3bn, outflows from emerging market equity funds last
week were their worst since August 2011. LatAm-specific funds
were particularly hit. "People are favoring developed markets,"
said an ECM banker on Wednesday. "They will sustain the taper
better… in the US, everything is ripping."

An 18-year-old man was arrested early Wednesday during a home invasion in Philadelphia's Fern Rock section that left two of his neighbors, including a 71-year-old woman, in critical condition with numerous stab wounds, police said.
Anthony Waters of the 5900 block of North Fourth Street stabbed the 71-year-old woman about 20 times and a 54-year-old man several times after Waters entered their home about 4:45 a.m., police said.
The rear door was unlocked, police said, and the assailant attacked the two after he was surprised to find them inside the home.
Responding to a report of a stabbing and burglary, police officers found the woman lying outside her front door. They also found Waters standing near the woman.

DRP BCP Template
ISO 27000, SOX, PCI-DSS & HIPAA Compliant
The Standard for Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity - Over 3,000 Companies World Wide have chosen this DRP/BCP Template
In most organizations, DR is the quintessential complex, unfamiliar task. Disasters happen so rarely that recovery operations are the opposite of routine. What's more the myriad, interconnected data, application and other resources that must be recovered after a disaster make recovery an exceptionally difficult and error-prone effort. Even if you have never built a DR plan before, you can achieve great results. Just follow the DR Template that Janco has created and you will have a functioning plan before you know it.
All Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery plans need to encompass how employees will communicate, where they will go and how they will keep doing their jobs. The details can vary greatly, depending on the size and scope of a company and the way it does business. For some businesses, issues such as supply chain logistics are most crucial and are the focus on the plan. For others, information technology may play a more pivotal role, and the Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery plan may have more of a focus on systems recovery.
But the critical point is that neither element can be ignored, and physical, IT and human resources plans cannot be developed in isolation from each other. (In this regard, Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery has much in common with security convergence. ) At its heart, Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery is about constant communication.
Janco's Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is that tool which can be used as a Disaster Planning template for any size of enterprise. The Template and supporting material have been updated to be Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA compliant. The template comes as both a Word document and a static fully indexed PDF document. The DRP/BCP Template includes:
- Disaster Recovery Plan and Business Continuity Template (WORD and PDF)
- Ransomware guidelines that meet all mandated compliance requirements
- Business and IT Impact Analysis Questionnaire
- Work Plan
- Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity Audit Program
- Pandemic Planning Checklist
- Incident Communication Plan and Policy
Preparation for Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity in light of SOX has two primary parts. The first is putting systems in place to completely protect all financial and other data required to meet the reporting regulations and to archive the data to meet future requests for clarification of those reports. The second is to clearly and expressly document all these procedures so that in the event of a SOX audit, the auditors clearly see that the DRP exists and will appropriately protect the data.
The Disaster Recovery - Business Continuity Template can be acquired in the following ways:
Disaster Recovery Business Continuity Standard Edition
Disaster Recovery Business Continuity Template (WORD) - comes with the latest electronic forms and is fully compliant with all mandated US, EU, and ISO requirements.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
Supply chain disruptions concern CIOs, especially when they're difficult to predict. Whether it's a force of nature or a political trade sanction, supply chains can be affected at the most inopportune times. Many disruptions reduce the share price of affected companies by an average of 7 percent. As a result, prevention of supply chain disruptions have become a top priority for some companies.
With so many disruptions to consider, companies need to shift their attention to logistics and transportation solutions. CIOs who can anticipate and navigate the disruptors will help their companies survive and thrive.more info

Created by Silver Oak Casino Games. Read the original blog here.
On almost any properly made hardwood basketball floor, a single nail is pounded into the very center of the free throw line, directly in front of the center of the rim. The nail should be on the outside of the free throw line and usually painted over. It can be difficult to see or find on some courts at times, but it should be there. Apparently this nail was originally put there by the painters to center the court and to line everything else up.
Line your body up for a free throw by centering yourself using the nail on the free throw line
When shooting a free throw, you should center your shooting arm over that nail. If your shooting arm is properly lined up like a catapult that is directly perpendicular to the rim, then the ball should go straight forward on launch, while using your guide hand to just keep the ball steady.
Many coaches will suggest to place your right toe (if you're right-handed) over the nail, but we feel that only makes sense if you are launching the ball off your right shoulder. Rather, we suggest to put the nail some distance right of center between your two feet. A right-handed shooter should toe the line with his right foot. How far you put your left foot behind the line should be left to what feels most comfortable for you. Most people have their left foot toe back about half of your right foot.
The most important part is to line yourself up consistently the same way. Your feet should be in the same position for every single free throw you ever take. It's the easiest part of a free throw to keep consistent, so make sure you do it right.
