|One of the most important topics in seismology is to construct detailed tomographic images beneath the surface, which can be interpreted geologically and geochemically to understand geodynamic processes happening in the interior of the Earth. Classically, these images are usually produced based upon linearized traveltime anomalies involving several particular seismic phases, whereas nonlinear inversion fitting synthetic seismograms and recorded signals based upon the adjoint method becomes more and more favorable. The adjoint tomography, also referred to as waveform inversion, is advantageous over classical techniques in several aspects, such as better resolution, while it also has several drawbacks, e.g., slow convergence and lack of quantitative resolution analysis. In this dissertation, we focus on solving these remaining issues in adjoint tomography, from a theoretical perspective and based upon synthetic examples. To make the thesis complete by itself and easy to follow, we start from development of the spectral-element method, a wave equation solver that enables access to accurate synthetic seismograms for an arbitrary Earth model, and the adjoint method, which provides Frechet derivatives, also named as sensitivity kernels, of a given misfit function. Then, the sensitivity kernels for waveform misfit functions are illustrated, using examples from exploration seismology, in other words, for migration purposes. Next, we show step by step how these gradient derivatives may be utilized in minimizing the misfit function, which leads to iterative refinements on the Earth model. Strategies needed to speed up the inversion, ensure convergence and improve resolution, e.g., preconditioning, quasi-Newton methods, multi-scale measurements and combination of traveltime and waveform misfit functions, are discussed. Through comparisons between the adjoint tomography and classical tomography, we address the resolution issue by calculating the point-spread function, the action of the Hessian on an arbitrarily-chosen model perturbation, and the resolution function, the action of the resolution matrix on the arbitrarily-chosen model perturbation. Inner products between the two functions and the chosen model perturbation (properly normalized) are two scalars -- the point-spread parameter and the resolution parameter. The two functions serve as trade-off maps between the chosen model perturbation and all other model parameters, whereas the two parameters indicate whether the chosen model perturbation is well resolved in the inversion. While the point-spread function and the point-spread parameter work in relative sense, the resolution function and the resolution parameter are absolute quantities, regardless of the misfit function used in the inversion. Besides the optimization point of view, we also treat inverse problems from Tarantola's perspective -- the Bayesian inference, where each Earth model is associated with certain probability, preferably obeying multivariate normal distribution by choosing Cartesian model parameters, such as the logarithm of wavespeed. With a new limit-memory square root variable metric algorithm, we may sample the a posteriori distribution of model parameters, which allows statistical analysis on the inversion, e.g., addressing uncertainty and non-uniqueness of the inversion. Although, due to limit of time, seismic examples are to be added, analytical examples involving 20,000 model parameters validate our theory and algorithm, and it is promising that they can be easily adapted to real seismic applications. After solving both resolution and non-uniqueness issues, we finally extend capability of seismic inversions to consider noise simulations, i.e., by cross correlating noisy seismograms between pairs of seismic stations, without help of natural earthquakes and man-made explosions. At the end, we talk about implications of our studies on the model parameterization, in terms of both types of model parameters, partially mentioned throughout all chapters, and (spatial) basis functions for each type of model parameters, where wavelet/curvelet bases or kernel-driven bases might be used.

Australopithecus was an important stage in human evolution. But it looks primitive next to its Cro-Magnon descendants.
And so it goes with Charles Ludlam's "The Mystery of Irma Vep," being revived by the Indiana Repertory Theatre (through Feb. 14).
Lifted from the cultural context of its 1980s New York birthplace—where it had its debut courtesy of Ludlam's off-off-Broadway Ridiculous Theatrical Company—and diminished by a generation of genre-bending, campy comedies that have come after it, "Vep" remains sporadically funny but in a familiar rather than fresh way.
A mash-up of "Rebecca," "Wuthering Heights," "The Mummy's Curse" and "Nosferatu"—with a sprinkling of Shakespeare and Poe—it makes solid use of the IRT design team, including Tom Buderwitz's tricked-out scenic design and Lindsay Jones' smart sound work. And it's certainly well cast, with Rob Johansen and Marcus Truschinski making up the entire company of zany characters (although they seem, too early in the game, to be playing the Tim Conway/Harvey Korman "Can I crack up my scene partner?" game).
The plot—which hardly matters—concerns Lady Enid, second wife of Lord Edgar, who is concerned that her husband is still enamored with his late wife, Irma Vep—who might be haunting their estate. Vep's portrait looms large in the living room and her presence is even stronger. A vampire, a werewolf, a groundsman with a wooden leg and more are gamely played, the lot of them, by Johansen and Truschinski, abetted by a backstage crew smoothly choreographing costume changes and wig exchanging between door slams and lightning crashes.
In one of the more fun meta-moments, Jane the maid (Truschinski) says, "He'll never change" of the exiting Nicodemus (Johansen), who quickly re-enters as Lady Enid. In another, the absence of Nicodemus' leg becomes a fun test of Johansen's physical prowess. And I'm not sure if a flapping piece of footwear was deliberate or accidental, but Truschinski certainly made the most of it.
Still, while the plot of "Irma Vep" is somewhat wrapped up by play's end, the biggest mystery—why this show was revived in the first place—remained unsolved. Despite all-hands-on-deck work from the IRT cast and crew, it just doesn't make a case for itself. (For the record, I felt the same way about a Washington, D.C., Arena Stage revival in 2008, which the IRT improved upon.)
There's nothing inherently wrong in this sort of silliness. It just grows tiring once Ludlam's ideas run thin—particularly in the Egyptian scene that fails to launch the second act—leading one to assume that he and costar Everett Quinton carried the day in the original by virtue of their fresh personalities and in-the-moment commitment. Heavily incorporating Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" (no, it's not in the script) into the proceedings, as the IRT does, seems pandering and desperate rather than organic—although the audience ate it up.•

South Carolina has been part of the rich and sometimes turbulent history of the United States since its first European exploration in 1540. General stores throughout the state stand as a testament to days gone by and remind us of life before strip malls and department stores. Find out more about South Carolina history as you step back in time at these local gems:
Located in Bluffton and known simply as "The Store," this Lowcountry market sits minutes from the beautiful beaches of Hilton Head Island. What started as a general store in the walkable town of Bluffton has become a local favorite for antiques, accessories, artwork and other treasures. Spend the rest of your day in historic Bluffton enjoying fishing, shopping, historic churches and unique restaurants.
Initially known as the T.P. Wood Store in Tigerville, the Tigerville General Store opened its doors to the public in 1881. Before becoming the community's corner store, the ancient building housed the local post office and a Masonic lodge. Purchased by local North Greenville State University in the last few years, the store has been restored to stock basic groceries for students, a Papa John's Pizzaria and study space with Wi-Fi.
Bailey's Store on Edisto Island has served as various establishments from a restaurant to a grocery store and even a gin house. Initially located at Edingsville Beach Resort, Bailey's is believed to be the only antebellum commercial building still standing on Edisto Island after the other Edingsville buildings were swept into the sea during an 1893 hurricane. Today, Bailey's is home to a seafood restaurant, gift shop, art gallery and a sweet shop.
Located in a squat brick building adjacent to an authentic cotton gin, Vallentines Gin & Store has been a part of the tiny town of Cope since 1911. Vallentines sits at the center of Cope's activities, and while no longer an operating store, you can visit Vallentines for a ginning demonstration and a tour through the shop. With a population under 200, you can't find a town much smaller than this one.

The same thin rubber formulas developed by Rubber on the Run for the ready made skins is directly applied to a 3mm aluminum composite panel. For use with any seesaw or dogwalk framework 12" wide, or aframes 36" wide x 9'. Screws are included, painted to match the color of the rubber. Many extra benefits included with this surfacing system!
We make the skins for you, ready to glue on your agility obstacle. The contact zones are attached to the color section, so each skin is a complete piece. This rubber skin can be applied on wood, aluminum, and Fiberglas surfaces using the proper adhesive. Gluing instructions are included.
The proper way to rubberize agility equipment
Combining the two ingredients used-rubber granules and binder- is very basic. Whether it's installing running tracks, kids playgrounds, pool surrounds, or rubberizing the surface of agility obstacles, the technique is the same. According to industry standards, the binder is used per weight of the rubber granules, mixed thoroughly, spread, smoothed, and left to cure. As the company that brought a permanent cushioned rubber surface (terming the word "skins" as the thinner layer) for obstacles to the sport of agility ten years ago, Rubber on the Run continues to be in the forefront of highest quality and best prices.
We use color impregnated virgin rubber imported from the UK by American Recycling Center. It is a TPV rubber (high quality virgin polymer), not an EPDM rubber that is sulphur cured or a recycled rubber that is painted. The binders from American Recycling are formulas custom made by Dow Chemical- the best quality binder available. When shopping for a rubber surface for agility equipment (aframe, dogwalk, seesaw, tabletop), know the quality of the materials a company uses. Then find out how a company makes their surfacing- industry standards, or their own variation? With normal care, a rubber surface like Rubber on the Run manufactures will last AT LEAST 10 years. There is a big difference of surfaces out there- know what one you're getting!

We develop true passion as we mature, if we are allowed. Enthusiasm in youth is mistaken for passion. The young rush in and allow emotions to be controlled and overrun by outside forces and circumstances, emotion disengaged from reason and thought. .
Developing true passion stems from gaining empathy and understanding of others and the world we live in; being sensitive to the needs of others; learning to appreciate life and all it offers.
Passion for creating art is necessary toward becoming a good artist. When we open up and allow ourselves to be encompassed by situations, we gain a deeper understanding which works in and through us to our work, making it stronger and exciting. Passion is strengthened when we are willing to give of ourselves and surrender to the process of creating. Creating not only art but in exploring our universe and all that is around us. Taking nothing for granted.
When we are young our developing passion is scattered and misdirected. Only when we mature and focus on something special or interesting does passion become more directed; more focused; more heartfelt. We express passion for many things throughout our life. Having an insatiable curiosity about how things are made; how things are connected and who we are. We develop a passion for ideas; we push our passion with projects that encompass our lives. Lack of passion stultifies, dulls our senses; our desire to achieve something worthwhile.
We are all born with a capacity for great passion yet there is a fear of true passion. The established order frequently rails against passionate individuals. Having great passion is dangerous and threatening. Especially to those who have had it taken away or discouraged and diverted from cultivating their passion.
We tend to narrow the meaning of passion to ideas romantic but passion encompassed much more.
Passion wanders and takes hold when we find an intense interest in a subject or person. Having passion is having an intense desire to achieve excellence. Finding out all there is to know about something and never being satisfied with the results. Always searchingkeeping the flame of passion burning.
Art encourages passion. Artists look to discover beyond the surface. See beneath the obvious. When we are allowed to encourage interest; try new things with freedom, the results many times are passionate choices.
Passion is a motivator. It becomes the driving force to move forward.
I believe art evolves through a passion for change; for something newer. A need for artists who see anew the ways the world has changed. As the world changes, so too will art. New movements will develop and thrive. Some like many that came before will be abandoned. Many others will take root and accompany us into the future. It is with passion that we will change things. Nothing worthwhile will be accomplished through apathy and indifference.
We must inspire the next generation. We must embolden, incite them to explore, with intelligence, understanding and empathy that which is still undiscovered.

Nothing can put a bigger damper on your summer bag than a wet swimsuit. I don't want to throw it in my bag because then everything else will end up soaked, but if I don't put it in my bag it can easily get left behind in the hustle of trying to get home from the splash pad or water park.
This easy-to-make wet bag can be whipped up in less than 15 minutes and is perfect for bringing home that wet swim suit, or anything else that is wet, like a blown-out baby outfit. I even love to use mine for travel. It is handy for carrying shampoo and other toiletries that could open and make a mess.
You will need:
- fabric
- waterproof material (I like using a shower curtain or bed cover)
- pins
- ribbon
I didn't give exact dimensions for the bag because you can really make this any size. I just made sure my fabric was rectangular to give me the shape I wanted in a finished bag. Cut the waterproof material to be the same size as your fabric. Lay the waterproof material on top of the wrong side of the material. Fold your fabric over about 1/4 of an inch and then fold it over again about 3/4 of an inch. Pin. Repeat for the opposite side.
Sew the tops down, making sure to leave plenty of room to thread a ribbon through. Then fold the bag in half, wrong sides together and pin. Sew up the sides, but make sure to not sew all way to the top, so there is room in the casing for the ribbon to go through.
Turn the bag right side out.
Using a safety pin, thread a piece of ribbon through the bag. When you reach the hole of the other side, thread it into the other side of the bag. Tie the ribbon together. Repeat on the other side.
Simply pull both sides of ribbon to cinch the bag closed and your wet bag is finished! I love mine and we use it all the time!
I can't wait to spend our entire summer outside and in the water. All our summer bag essentials make it so we can be outside as much as possible without having to run home. I love that this bag helps keep us not only on the go but healthy while doing it. I can fill my Brita filtered water bottle anywhere, even at the park drinking fountains and have great tasting water that keeps us healthy and hydrated in the summer heat.

FORT BRAGG, NC (MAR 26) - The Fort Bragg/Pope AFB BRAC Regional Task Force today announced that the deadline to complete Working Lands Protection Program survey is approaching. The BRAC RTF, in conjunction with the Lois G. Britt Agribusiness Center at Mount Olive College, is working to develop a Working Lands Protection Plan for each of our eleven counties.
Surveys are available online at www.bracrtf.com, at each participating agency's Web site, and at each county's Cooperative Extension office. All surveys must be completed online or delivered to a county extension office by April 15.
The survey responses will provide a better understanding of agriculture and will also be used to evaluate the types of economic incentives offered to farmers and agri-businesses.
Non-farm resident participation is essential to ensure that issues such as green space and planned development are part of the plan as well. Farms and forests provide the ideal 'compatible land use' around Fort Bragg and at the same time provide numerous benefits to the county and its residents.
To receive a survey or for additional information, please contact Grace Lawrence, WLPP Director at (919) 518-6463 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The BRAC Regional Task Force was established to unify the BRAC regional planning efforts of the 11 counties and 73 municipalities surrounding Fort Bragg and Pope AFB. BRAC RTF serves as the liaison between the military; the communities; state and federal agencies designated to provide community assistance for BRAC.

Advice on silage aftercut nutrition in a late spring
Livestock farmers should invest in good aftermath nutrition after the first cut to ensure they maximise yields and quality from second-cut silage.
Cheshire-based independent grassland adviser George Fisher, of George Fisher Consulting says this is especially important in years where there is a late spring affecting grass growth.
See also: First-cut silage runs high risk of slurry contamination
First-cut tips
- Don't delay cutting: make up bulk with more cuts
- Apply after-cut fertiliser as soon as possible after cutting
- Use a granular compound rather than a blend for better uptake and more landing sites. Granular compounds have all nutrients contained in each granule.
- Don't skimp on potash if you want high-energy silage
- Use sulphur to boost protein, yield and nitrogen use
Delaying cutting date and subsequent post-cut fertiliser applications after a cold spring will limit silage quality and yield.
At this time of year, Dr Fisher adds, the maturing of grass loses 0.5-1 D value/day, so a 72 D value today could be 71 tomorrow or the day after.
"It will be far better to take a first-cut close to the same time as usual and then invest in a full aftercut nutrition programme to ensure second-cut delivers the right yields with optimum protein and sugar content," he says.
"Ensuring you manage grass properly now is essential to ensure adequate forage supplies for the coming winter."
Aftercut nutrition advice
While farmers might be tempted to save money by relying on manure and slurry for grassland nutrition, James Holloway of CF Fertilisers warns that this approach could leave farms "woefully short" of feed.
Dr Fisher adds that growers supplementing organic manures with straight nitrogen may find they are short of potash and sulphur.
He says that on farms that have applied as much slurry as possible earlier in the year, available nitrogen will have been lost by now.
What to apply
Dr Fisher recommends soil testing so farms know what fertiliser is required, before following with a slurry application. He says an N:K:S fertiliser should set up second cuts well.
Even a 30m3/ha (2,600 gallon/acre) application of a 4% DM slurry will be well short of RB209 recommendations for nitrogen, providing only 19kg/ha of the 100kg/ha recommended for a 5t DM/ha grass crop.
Nitrogen (N), potash (source of phosphate) and sulphur (S) will therefore be required, explains Dr Fisher. "Work from your soil analysis and take into account all the nutrients from manures."
Typical second-cut applications for optimum growth are:
- 80-100kg of N/ha
- 25-40kg of S/ha
- 60-90kg of potash/ha
What nutrients does slurry provide?
Typical requirements (kg/ha)
Nutrition of slurry 30cu m/ha (2,600gal/acre)
% provided by slurry
*Requirements for second cut on a soil p and K index of 2
When to apply
After-cut nutrition programmes are best applied as soon as possible. Once first-cut is harvested, freshweight production drops about by 370kg/ha for every day's delay in nitrogen application, Mr Holloway explains.
"Research has shown delaying aftercut fertiliser for a two-week period will lead to a potential 20-25% yield loss, which can be 1t/ha DM," he says.
He adds farmers should be prepared to spread slurry more thinly rather than be caught out by having to leave cutting until six weeks after the last application.
"If you focus on getting high quality from your first cut you can then use subsequent cuts to build silage stocks," he explains. "Focus on quality. If you need more bulk, take more cuts."
Why to supplement with phosphate (P), potash (K) and sulphur (S)
- P is vital for energy capture by plants through photosynthesis.
- Test soil and strive to maintain a soil P index of 2.
- A three-year trial adding 320kg/ha potash to soil with a K index of 1 lifted average silage ME from 10.9 to 11.5MJ ME/kg DM.
- Trials are showing the benefits of sulphur applications in maximising crude protein and facilitating better nitrogen use.
- Sulphur plays a vital role in amino acid production (methionine and cystine).
- One trial restored optimum sulphur levels to lift protein by 7% and yields by nearly 2t/ha.
- A sulphur containing granular compounds such as 25-0-13-7SO3 or 25-0-6-6SO3 should be considered, particularly this year.
Compaction caution
With high water tables, independent grassland adviser George Fisher, of George Fisher Consulting acknowledges many producers will have to consider compaction this silage season.
- If possible keep off wet fields especially 48 hours after heavy rainfall
- Reduce machine size and total axle loads, as loads greater than 3.5t can cause serious and permanent compaction
- The greater the weight of the vehicle and the greater the tyre pressure, the deeper the potential compaction
- Reduce the pressure on the ground with larger tyres and lower inflation pressures to spread the weight over a larger area
- Consider established wheelings or reduced traffic systems
- Avoid overusing entrances; use a separate exit if possible

In today's competitive job market, applicants for many positions who are not directly related to writing are required to submit writing samples at some point during the interview process.
Even if you do not have a strong writer, you will not stress this request. Here are frequently asked questions about writing samples for answers that will help you develop and/or choose just the right models.
If you have been out of school for many years, turning from school to paper is a bad idea. Thomas-Singer, the business-development consultant in Austin, says, "He says that I have not written for years.
The singer also warns against sending blog posts (unless your blog is professional and addresses business or industry issues), as well as "creative writing or letter to grandmother." These forms are poorly advised because what they would do if you hired them
How long should a sample be written?
Most employers search for employees who can greatly synthesize information in a shorter, concise, actionable summary. MBBS of the College of Business Administration of Northeastern University Career Center director Lynn Sirius said, "Often one-page memo is a more attractive example than a long page letter." Because the reviewers usually read only one page or two long papers and are not related to the particular content, she says.
Can I present a co-written sample?
The template written by someone else may be appropriate if you are applying for a job that will be a collaborative effort in the article. Just make sure you list yourself as a co-author. But then, the only example written by a team should not be the one you submit.
Nancy DeLorenzo , director of Career Services of East Connecticut State University, states that "the employer searches for your work sample, and can not assume your role in the co-author part"
What about getting a little help with a writing template?
Any other for basic errors and clarity are considered OK to review your submission. Apart from that, however, and many employers feel that the work is no longer representative of your skills and knowledge.

Great Arthritis Tips To Make You Feel A Lot Better
Arthritis is nothing to joke about. THe pain is severe and plenty of people across the globe are forced to fight through it every day. To treat and deal with arthritis the best thing you can do is educate yourself as much as you can about methods used. Below you'll find some quality tips on how to treat arthritis that can help get you going.
Try to switch between cold and hot treatments. Your joints can simply overdo it, that is why switching between cold and hot packs can reduce swelling and soothe the pain. Do not do this too often, too much of cold or hot can hurt you down the line. Try no more than two times a day.
Consult a physical therapist. If arthritis or general inflammation is truly bothering you, then a physical therapist can help you figure out a workout plan that will increase your flexibility and decrease muscle swelling. Follow the therapist's instructions to get the most benefit out of your plan so you can live a life that isn't limited or controlled by your arthritis symptoms.
Electrical stimulation can help to relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis. This method of treatment has been shown to effectively reduce inflammation in the knees due to arthritis, which can reduce pain.
Know what the symptoms are that lead to arthritis. Knowing the symptoms will help you seek professional help if needed. If you think you are having arthritis symptoms, first consult with a physician for the proper diagnosis. He will tell you which type you have and help you to create a treatment plan and give you tips to use at home.
Make use of appropriate mechanical aids to make hard jobs easier. Take precautions when lifting heavy objects or standing for long periods of time. It is important that you protect your bones and joints from further damage. The more damage you do to your joints, the more pain you will experience in the future. Avoiding strenuous activity is the best way to prevent this damage from occurring.
Have your doctor regularly check for deficiencies. When you are low on vitamins or minerals you could have a arthritis flare up. Knowing what your levels are, and having them checked often will reduce your risk for flare ups.
Those who suffer from arthritis may benefit from losing excess weight. If you are overweight, you can suffer inflammation when you are suffering from arthritis. Excess weight puts an additional load on your strained joints and can lead to flareups. You can decrease the severity and frequency of arthritis flareups by dropping those excess pounds.
Check with your doctor to see if a weight loss program will assist with your arthritis pains. Even a modest amount of weight loss could lessen the painful symptoms associated with arthritis. You may be surprised by the amount of relief you actually feel.
As was mentioned at the beginning, arthritis affects millions, along with being debilitating to daily life. However, if you possess the appropriate advice and knowledge, managing your arthritis will be easier.…

Who's afraid of . . . ? What? Why drawing? And who is afraid of drawing?
Not many of the artists featured in this new show in Canonbury Square, surely? Umberto Boccioni was an influential Futurist painter and sculptor, his most famous work was most probably Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, a seminal and startling piece, produced at the same time as Jacob Epstein's The Rock Drill. He could draw, and is represented by a sensitive, pen and pencil back-lit portrait of a girl, entitled Controluce from 1910. And Dominico Gnoli can draw, and has two delightful compositions to prove it; one Boat IV, a pen, ink and watercolour, depicts a mournful horse,and has a group of exuberant men in a rickety grandstand observing an apple on a pedestal. We know that Renato Guttuso can draw; stray no further than his illustrations for Elizabeth David's Italian Food, although he is probably better known for his paintings, the most famous of which is of the street market in Palermo, called La Vucciria. Marino Marini is represented by a solitary pen and ink drawing of his favourite subject matter, a man and his horse. The last exhibition put on at the Estorick was of the works of Fausto Melotti, and there are a pair of pencil sketches of his, alongside two by his friend Lucio Fontana, both of whom studied under the Symbolist sculptor Adolfo Wildt in Milan, who also has a couple of pencil works in the exhibition.
We are told that the title of the exhibition is 'an ironic rhetorical question that aims to belie the somewhat disparaging perception of drawing.' Admittedly, it probably does sound better in Italian: Chi ha paura del disegno? The curators do not stop there; they continue their quizzical sub-titles into the galleries themselves: 'Abstractions?', Figurations?', 'Words + Images = ?' and 'What about Sculptors?' Questions, questions, questions. The 'Collezione Ramo' comprises some 600 drawings gathered over the years by Pino Rabolini of only Italian artists working in the 20th century, of which around seventy are represented here. Some critics define works on paper as somehow inferior to painting and sculpture, hence the tentative uncertainty inherent in the title. There are dozens of truly great artists from the Renaissance on, who used drawing, not just as a means to an end, but to an end in itself. One has to look no further than Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Durer, Rembrandt van Rijn and Rubens to verify this. Four hundred years later, Alberto Burri, Alighiero Boetti, Piero Manzoni and Fabio Mauri may not be artists with whom the British public are familiar, but they resonate in Italy, while Boccioni, De Chirico and Lucio Fontana have more of an international appeal. Gianfranco Baruchello's close friend was Marcel Duchamp, with whom he shared an interest in Surrealism, and he is represented by a box-framed assemblage of doodles, scraps from periodicals and sketchbooks, while Maria Lai, 'mistress of the phantom thread', used sewn threads that are literally interwoven with literature and poetry of the traditions and folklore of Sardinia, where she was born in 1919. In a way, Emilio Isgrò is the Italian Tom Phillips, in that he has 'redacted' all but two words, era perenne, from a double-page spread of a book using black ink, in much the same way that Phillips has been fiddling around with his Humument for over 50 years. Piero Manzoni, who died tragically young at the age of twenty-nine, eschewed conventional materials, and used Artist's Shit (Merda d'Artista), packaged in 30-gram tins and sold as a parody on the art market and a comment on consumerism. He is represented by an empty book of stubs. No shit.

text: my sister loves upcycling clothing and she is great at it (just check out her etsy shop!!) and when she was over yesterday she looked through some of my old t-shirts with me. this one shirt i used to wear back in college just screamed to be re-made into something new. i think it was from anthropology back in the day. i liked it a lot way back when. then gradually it found its way to the bottom of the stacks of clothing on my shirt shelf and finally found its sad self a new home the "scrap and re-craft bin" in my sewing nook. today the shirt morphed into something altogether different. two somethings different to be exact. on a whim, i pulled it out of that bin, hastily (maybe too hastily?) selected two fabrics to go with it, and headed over to my cutting table to get to work. i cut out two tank pieces from the front side of the tee using one of reece's tops as a guide and then i chopped off some fabric to form the skirt of the dress. i couldn't leave the other side of the tee just laying there til the next time inspiration took me back to the scrap bin, so i decided to make a dress for little macy too. i guessed entirely on her dimensions for the tank (and have a little tailoring to do now) and cut some more of the cotton fabric for the skirt for hers. then it was off to the serger and the sewing machines for my happy little scraps. surprisingly, both dresses came together really quickly--guess that is a perk of upcycling (part of the work is already done for you!)--which was great because as i sat down to sew i conveniently heard reece waking up. it wasn't too long before macy followed suit, but by then i had already finished one dress and was on the second one and couldn't stop! they are quite crazy in my opinion, but reece liked her dress a lot and that means they will be keepers. we had some fun walking around the neighborhood tonight in the new frocks! what do you think? too funky? or will they work?

Luo Meizhen, born in Guangxi in 1885, has died aged 127 years old. She was the world's oldest woman, and may have been the oldest person ever to have lived.
Though official documents said that Luo was born in 1885, international authorities, including Guinness World Records, never recognised her claim to be the oldest person ever to have lived. China did not have a reliable birth certification system at the end of the nineteenth century, and though Luo's birth date was listed on her hukou and identity card, both where issued in recent decades.
Luo, who lived in a remote village in Guangxi province, had five children, one of whom she allegedly gave birth to aged 61.
Guinness World Records officially recognises Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment as the oldest person to have ever lived. Calment died in 1997 aged 122 years and 164 days.
"She was 127 when she died, it wasn't unexpected," her grandson Huang Heyuan told AFP.
Jiroemon Kimura, the oldest man to have ever lived, also died this month. Kimura passed away in his home in Kyotango, Japan. He was 116.
The title of oldest living person passes to Misao Okawa, also from Japan, who was born on March 5, 1898. 20 of the 55 people over the age of 110 living today are from Japan, where life expectancy at birth is 83 years.
Luo's county in Guangxi is famous for its residents' longevity. Bama Yao Autonomous County had 81 centenarians in 2011, a rate of 31.7 per 100,000 people, far higher than the global average, which is 7.5 centenarians per 100,000 people.

January 19, 2012
We've had a dusting of snow in the past few days, nothing like the quantities in the Fraser Valley, but just enough to make our steep driveway impossible to drive up. Last night we parked down by the highway and walked up in darkness. For Forrest and Manon, visiting this week from Ottawa, it's a reminder of true winter.
What I love most about snow is seeing the graphic evidence of who else is around. Birds, small mammals, even the larger ones sometimes (we've seen bobcats at the top of Sakinaw Lake road and found their tracks afterwards; perhaps not surprising that they looked exactly like a large housecat's…). Last night we saw a flying squirrel on the deck, huddled against the sliding doors. When I opened the door to toss out some sunflower seeds for it, it glided off the deck as gracefully as a bird.
Here's our tracks on the patio with the varied thrush's alongside:
And here's the varied thrush's tracks again, beside the flying squirrel's.

General overview of the homeschooling laws in Tennessee
Tennessee's compulsory attendance first passed legislation in 1905 and was expanded in 1913. The law requires parents of children ages eight (8) to fourteen (14) to be sent to school. Those who are fifteen (15) to sixteen (16) years of age, if illiterate or unemployed, are also required to be sent to school.
The Tennessee Home Education Association (THEA) started during the mid-1980s and the state homeschool law § 49-6-3050 was first enacted in 1985 signed by then-Governor Lamar Alexander.
Due to the constant amendment of § 49-6-3050 of the state homeschool law, it was declared as "One of the most complex laws in the nation" by 2012. The said law defines a home school as (a) a church-related school defined in § 49-50-801, (b) a home school defined in § 49-6-3050, or (c) a private school accredited or which has been approved by the state.
Notification of Intent to homeschool in Tennessee
Parents who want to homeschool their children in the state of Tennessee must file a Notification of Intent prior to the start of every school year. Parents must also attach documents that show the homeschool location, the population of students, their names, ages and grade levels.
Parents are also required to attach the proposed curriculum and proposed hours of instruction to their Notification of Intent form. The NOI form can be downloaded from the websites of The State of Tennessee Department of Education and the Local Education Agency (LEA) office for free. Children may also be required by the state to take standardized examinations.
Qualifications required to homeschool in Tennessee
According to § 49-6-3050, a homeschool teacher must possess at least a high school diploma or General Education Development (GED) certificate to be qualified to teach homeschool students in the state of Tennessee. Homeschool teachers must also administer the Local Education Agency's annual standardized achievement test to their students.
Number of days/hours of instruction required for homeschoolers in Tennessee
Homeschool teachers are required to have students attend the same number of days required by state law for the public school students which are 4 hours per day (equivalent to 180 days per school year). § 49-6-3005 of the homeschool law applies to classes of children from ages six (6) to seventeen (17) years.
What subjects need to be covered in Home Education (and for how long) in Tennessee?
There are no particular subjects required. Subjects in Home Education will depend on the proposed curriculum submitted by the parents when they submit their Notification of Intent (NOI). There are also no limitations on how long the subjects have to be covered.
It may depend on the personal circumstances of the student. However, the Tennessee Academic Standards states that Math, English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies are core subjects. The curriculum must provide and support the student's mastery of these subjects.
The Local Education Agency (LEA) makes sure that the Tennessee Academic Standards are upheld. An intervention process may be implemented for those students who fall behind in the core subjects and fails the annual standardized achievement test.
The Director of Schools may require students who failed to be enrolled in a public, private or church-related school, provided that the student has no learning disability, instead.
What are the recordkeeping requirements for homeschoolers in Tennessee?
In an independent homeschool, the parent-teacher must maintain an attendance record and other records that may be required by the LEA. These records must always be available for inspection at any time. Submission of records to the Director of Schools at the end of each school year is mandatory.
Here's a short video about what you need for homeschooling in Tennesse:
For those who have students enrolled in an umbrella program, record keeping and test requirements will be determined by the church-related school.
Is part-time enrollment permitted in Tennessee?
Yes, part-time enrollment is allowed at the district's discretion in Tennessee.
Are homeschoolers permitted to participate in extracurricular activities in Tennessee?
Yes, it was settled in 2015 that homeschool students are permitted to participate in extracurricular activities in the state of Tennessee. Homeschool students can even compete with public-school teams in different sports and competitions as long as they are registered with the Local Board of Education.

1998 GMC Jimmy LSE from North America
This car was a very expensive lemon
Battery went at about 20,000 miles.
Rear windshield wiper motor went about 25,000 miles. I have had to replace the whole front end, ball joints, bearings. I had constant belt whines.
All door hinges started rusting immediately. Constant noises in the doors which they finally fixed under warranty.
It's impossible to get the vehicle lined up properly.
I purchased it new and paid quite a bit. All my miles are highway miles.
Also had a problem with transmission fluid leaking out of it all over the garage floor.
Now I just ignore the noises. I had 850 worth of repairs last week. Guess what, the vehicle died today on the road. They think it's the fuel pump. Although this is the first time it's left me stranded, I am never going to buy an GMC again.
I'm looking into buying a Toyota 4Runner or Honda Pilot.
I have an Acura integra with 140,000 miles on it that's seen less days in the repair shop and still runs like a top.
Please think twice about buying a GMC Jimmy.
The only thing I like about it is the heated leather seats. They have not failed -- yet.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

As a Sarawakian, I am proud to say that we have great English speakers and writers, what more to say about Sarawak Bloggers. To express feelings or describe an experience, you either say it out loud or express in words or just let the pictures do the talking.
Effadylia is the author of The Borneo Girl. Her name is as unique as her personality. She shares and expresses her thoughts, life, feelings and etc.. with others, to see and feel what it's like to be a Borneo girl as portrayed by her blog title, "A Day In My Shoes". Furthermore, I saw this tagline "Heels or Flats, Life Goes On" at the top of her blog. Personally, I like the way she looks at life – very optimistic.
From her blog header and title, you can tell how much she loves shoes! I admit, I love shoes too; and I confess, I collect shoes too. Every girl has similar interests – beauty, shopping and shoes.
I enjoy reading her her recent posts on her blog. There are mostly about her traveling experiences, food she had abroad and etc.. She blogterary (blog + literary) brings her readers with her on vacation. As a reader, it felt like I'm traveling with her, even though the destinations are thousands of miles away, her sharing brings her readers to the destinations within a monitor away.
With all the above said, there's no need for me to fork out any reasons why Effadylia is our October's Featured Blogger. Now go stalk her blog @ http://theborneogirl.com.

It's that time again! Tomorrow is the third and biggest major Indiana Beer Fest associated with the Brewers of Indiana Guild. The 19th Microbrewers Festival starts at 3:00 for general admission and is likely sold out by the time you read this but check here or Big Red Liquors locations. We don't pretend to believe 'we know best' how to visit a festival. Yet, we want to at least encourage attendees to think about a strategy!
Here are some questions to think about before you go!
Where will I park? That is a very important question with 6000 people descending upon a park where there is no direct parking lot in the cute little area known as Broad Ripple. There is a parking garage at 62nd & College Av. within a few blocks. Go to an online map and at least get an idea where you might park.
What can I bring in? The B.I.G. answers that and a few other questions here with other FAQS
Where do I start? It seems so many people enter and just go get in some line. We suggest you decide what types of breweries you MOST want to sample from! Here are some thoughts:
– Do you want to try those you are less likely to ever drive to? If so, look for the breweries that are farthest away. If you live in Central Indiana, maybe you start with 3 Floyds of Munster, Bare Hands of Granger, Evil Czech of Mishawaka, Carsons of Evansville, Tin Man of Evansville, Iechyd Da of Elkhart, or Big Dawg of Richmond.
– Do you want to find the most unusual beers? That might be Bare Hands ThaiPA, Figure 8's CAMP coffee carmel, Flat12's surprises, Burn 'Em Smoked Pork Porter, Books&Brews Soba buckwheat, and BEER LIST HERE
– Do you want to try new breweries? Start with Mashcraft of Greenwood, Scarlet Lane of McCordsville, Chilly Waters of Indy, Taxman of Bargersville, Tow Yard of Indy, and on to Daredevil.
– Do you want to visit the biggest so you don't miss what your friends talk about? Sun King, Upland, 3Floyds then Flat12, Triton, etc.
– Do you want to visit award winners? See our recent list of gold medalists for Brewers Cup READ HERE and start with Upland and on to Bier Brewery!
– Do you want to revisit the "Tried & True," Some of Indiana's oldest breweries? The Broad Ripple Brew Pub, Barley Island, Oaken Barrel, The Bloomington Brewing Co., Mad Anthony, New Albanian, Lafayette Brewing.
Maybe you have your OWN thought such as shortest lines, beer other people talk about at the event, the ability to get exercise by walking back and forth…. just think about how you will approach this.
Remember, you have a small tasting glass and even a 2 ounce pour means 6 samples equals one legal bottle of beer. The body can handle one bottle per hour for most of us (some a lot more, some less) so 20-30 beers to try is very possible, just which ones? With 80 breweries you can't even get one from each place! (Hey, that was NOT a challenge.)
And our own Nathan Compton had a great blog with some other thoughts (Potty break, anyone?) for the Winterfest so rather than repeat it all, just check out Nathan's thoughts HERE.
Go, enjoy, experience, look us up! The weather should really cooperate this year!

Harvard Law School Makes Online Zero-L Course Free for All U.S. Law Schools Due to Coronavirus
For Kennedy School Fellows, Epstein-Linked Donors Present a Moral Dilemma
Tenants Grapple with High Rents and Local Turnover at Asana-Owned Properties
In April, Theft Surged as Cambridge Residents Stayed at Home
The History of Harvard's Commencement, Explained
While crowded lecture halls, visiting multiple classes within an hour, and narrowing down a course schedule typically characterize shopping week, the first official week of the semester will face an additional challenge as a blizzard looms over the horizon for huge swaths of the Northeast.
The National Weather Service predicts a "crippling and potentially historic" 20 to 30 inches of snow for the Boston area, with snowfall accumulation at rates from 2 to 4 inches per hour. A blizzard warning will be in effect from 7 p.m. Monday to 1 a.m. Wednesday, and the weather center deemed travel "impossible and life threatening" during this time.
The University's emergency management team has been monitoring the storm since Saturday, and it is expected that the University will notify affiliates about its plans Monday afternoon, according to University spokesperson Jeff Neal.
Historically, only very substantial weather events have forced the University to curtail any operations. In 1977, former Dean of Students Archie C. Epps III joked that, "Harvard University will close only for an act of God, such as the end of the world."
The University canceled classes due to snow in 1978 when a blizzard blanketed Boston with 27 inches of snow. More recently, winter storm Nemo in 2013 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012 prompted the University to close several University buildings and cancel work for non-essential University employees.
In a statement, Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh said, "Our City has been through blizzards before, and I am confident we are prepared."

Recorded at the monastery of Konovets, this CD is a compilation of some of the best Russian sacred music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As the first recording of spiritual music in the history of the monastery, this CD allows the listener to enjoy the unique acoustics of the church. The album begins and ends with the ringing of the church bells. There is some glorious singing from this wonderful quartet. They begin with the well known "O come let us worship" from Rachmaninov's Vespers. The remainder of the recording is comprised of pieces by less well known composers, but includes many works by Chesnokov. The Konovets Quartet presents a fascinating program.

Success at anything requires focus and discipline, this is especially true when it comes to developing healthy eating habits. Here are 5 ways to help you grow towards a healthier lifestyle:
- Always eat breakfast: Eating a balanced breakfast within 30-60 minutes after waking up helps start your metabolism for the day. It can also prevent you from overeating throughout the day.
- Drink water, and LOTS of it: Aim to drink 8-10 eight ounce glasses of water per day, drink even more during exercise.
- Adjust your portions: If you're like (the old) me, you probably eat EVERYTHING on the plate, even after your appetite is satisfied. Instead of stuffing yourself, listen to your body, if you feel full, save the extra for leftovers.

Dead as is known live longer - and so one must not be surprised that at present a s3D consumer camera on kickstarter properly absorbs. Locken appears to be making the promise of creating cool stereoscopic images without any effort - including effect overlays - as well as the optional little gimbal, which can be used to stabilize the recordings. Pic1 The very small SID camera has two fixed, small F2.4 lens modules with 160 image angles. The camera measures 8 cm in width so that the distance between the lenses corresponds approximately to a human eye distance. However, the manufacturer Weeview promotes a possible post-shifting of the parallax effect by means of a software app in order to alter the depth effect. For the preview, a smartphone is used,

Cops: Man sold stolen autos for scrap
A Brooklyn man has been charged with selling nine stolen vehicles to a scrap dealer in New Hyde Park, Nassau County police said Thursday.
Eric Robinson, 46, of 140 Schaefer St., was arrested at 7:50 p.m. Wednesday in East Meadow, police said. They declined to say what he was doing in East Meadow at the time.
The nine vehicles had been stolen from locations in Nassau County and New York City, police said, and Robinson had filled out and signed state paperwork last October and November listing himself as the owner.
Robinson was arraigned Thursday in First District Court in Hempstead on multiple charges of grand larceny, offering a false instrument for filing, and criminal possession of stolen property.
Bail was set at $5,000 bond or $2,500 cash for each of the 12 charges for a total of $60,000 bond or $30,000 cash, the district attorney's office said. His next court date is May 28.
Police declined to comment beyond the information in the statement.

I'd expect a Pareto distribution for charitable donations, not log-normal, and that's exactly what the histogram looks like:
Looks like alpha >> 2, so the variance is infinite.
Why these things? They largely involve plenty of "analytical engine" skill. I think I'm a pretty good singer, I was varsity basketball, had good enough balance and coordination to climb V6 before injuries, won the district-wide art show in high school three years in a row, fix all my own plumbing and fixed my lawn mower engine. My wife literally rebuilt her car's circuit board, which is maybe more up the typical geek alley, but if you can do that, or build a gaming platform from parts, you can rebuild a lawn mower engine. You got me on social skills, but I don't think that's universal for smart people so much as universal for people who use most of their socializing resources on the Internet. General intelligence doesn't have to mean "super focused on one thing." You might have to give 100% attention if you ever want to be Kobe Bryant or something, but you can be really good at a lot of things without being among the top two or three in the world at any of them.
Anecdata, but just as reference to get away from bragging, the guy who got the second highest SAT score at my high school is now a pro rugby player. My best friend from college, who scored pretty close to us, just won an Emmy for writing comedy television.
And traditional behavior gives us an imperfect window into the economics of the past, which is what's under discussion when we talk about historical selective fitness.
I think we should keep in mind just how far back we're talking. I'm not saying we inherited homosexuality from our common ancestor with the modern fruit fly, but at least our common ancestor with other great apes. Framing the question as why would it be selected for in the context of human societies is probably wrong, when what we want to know is why it wasn't sufficiently selected against given it already existed (I doubt we'll ever figure what advantage it gave the proto-ape whose social structures we'll never know). Once a trait already manifests in 3% of the population, it takes work to get rid of it, and even within that 3%, it was doubtful the case that 0% of them reproduced while 100% of heterosexual men reproduced. I'm sure it wasn't exactly parity, but it's possible there is no explanation in terms of the organization of human societies except for we're really optimized to enjoy sex, sometimes that wire gets flipped, and it doesn't provide an advantage, but it also doesn't give enough of a disadvantage to completely disappear within 300,000 years.
Don't forget also, that if some gene combo is necessary but not sufficient, and requires other developmental factors to manifest that don't manifest in your brothers and cousins (which seems to be the case if it's only 20% between twins), then when they reproduce, even if you don't, the gene still gets passed on. Take me, for example. I'm not gay, but I am sterile and don't want kids anyway. Nonetheless, I have 3 sisters and 13 cousins that have had kids so far. Without doing the exact math, off the top of my head I'm guessing at least 80-90% of whatever I'm carrying made it to the next generation.
Edit: Also, one last thing is we don't know the prevalence in the ancestral population. Given it's roughly 100% bisexual in such a closely related other species, it could have been fairly high in the common ancestor, obviously not 100% obligate, but more than 3%, and it actually has been selected against, a lot, just not enough to get us to zero yet.
Did you know about this?
The SUBNETS vision is distinct from current therapeutic approaches in that it seeks to create an implanted, closed-loop diagnostic and therapeutic system for treating, and possibly even curing, neuropsychological illness. That vision is premised on the understanding that brain function—and dysfunction, in the case of neuropsychological illness—plays out across distributed neural systems, as opposed to being strictly relegated to distinct anatomical regions of the brain. The program also aims to take advantage of neural plasticity, a feature of the brain by which the organ's anatomy and physiology alter over time to support normal brain function.
Sounds pretty straightforwardly like programming a brain.
Just to pimp my school, Georgia Tech offers a free course through Udacity in Knowledge-Based AI that involves programming an agent to take the Raven's progressive matrices test. I never took the course, but I wanna say from hearing other students that somewhere around 80 is the current state of the art (that's not an IQ and I'm not sure how to translate a Raven's score to an IQ).
This seems like a decent explanation of why I change my own mind as frequently as I do. If you're just tracking my history of Internet comments, I probably sound all over the place, but it's really me going from 54% certain of position X to 52% certain of not X, and it's hard to properly express that in an environment prone to rhetorical flourish and a debate atmosphere where you feel like you really really can't back down or you'll look weak. Most of the interesting things out there are very hard to legitimately be certain of. Factor in availability bias and it's easy to find yourself arguing for something you're really on the fence about just because you read a good argument for it a few hours ago (but not really any better than the argument for the opposite position a few days ago), then you make a good argument because you're good at arguing, and you just convinced yourself without actually introducing any new evidence.
And now I'm trapped in an infinite meta-regress wondering if I actually believe what I just wrote or it just sounds plausible.

@joristimmerman Nope, with friends and the girlfriend ;)
Lot's of facetiming today :D
"We know a lot about Flash!". No, my dear Steve. You don't. You really really don't.
So now it's not a 'webcam'… It's a FaceTime camera… Rrrrrright!
Apple's developer site is down… Seems like they're getting ready for the FaceTime beta release/Mac App Store (ugh)
RT @aral: I don't know whether to be worried or giddy.
There we go :)
That Garage Band learning feature is like an educational Guitar Hero for pianists… Cool!
Okay… Have to admit: That's impressive…
Oh, that's disappointing! We were expecting to create our full movie, then hit 1 button and get a 'suggestion' trailer (which you then edit)
Oohlala! Did you see the facetime-like icon in the dock? What's your guess on that? ;)
Anybody wondering why that iPhoto app has a real iOS look? iLife on iOS?
Let's make some wishes: next MacBook air will be a MacBook touch!
Watching the apple lion event with @woutr_be. I'm bored already. We know you've got a gazillion dollar. Show us new stuff!!
Me too! What are the chances?! RT @joristimmerman: #dutch I seriously need a hair cut :) http://tinyurl.com/2w8s7… #hetnieuwsblad
Apparently not too long ago, I figured it would be a GREAT idea to throw away the last winxp disc I had… #idiot
is in 3D (complex light) render hell. And actually enjoying it.Let's see if I can set up a little render farm with all of my laptops at home
Hmm… Feeling some pain in my neck caused by yesterday's race…
It's that time of the day again: You hear that popping sound? That's your mind being blown. http://bit.ly/9Ao1dG
Am I the only one who starts hating those tech sites for ruining Apple's "surprises"? I actually enjoy not knowing until the event…
The cool thing about sharing your work is the great feeling it gives you when people tell you they use it for their paper at school.
@bit101 Happy birthday, Keith! Have a good one!
RT @delegatevoid: honestly people… whitespace, tabs, spaces…. all free….!!!!
@joristimmerman Oh, okay! That clears it up! Thx ;) (So on thursday it's still running all night? )
@joristimmerman It used to run all night long! :( I remember pulling all-nighters with Otto-Jan in my radio!
Tweeting that you are 'pooping' will most likely get you on my shit-list.
It comes to my attention that the #onenightstand of @stubru doesn't go through the entire night anymore. What an uncool surprise!

One of the major aims of every state is to ensure high level security for the citizens in the field of freedom and justice and the states are trying to achieve this aim by preventing criminality as well as combating it with the help of international cooperation between police, customs and other competent institutions. The purpose of this scientific work is to reveal legal and organizational principles appearing in the crime related international cases, to analyze the major problems cooperating within this sphere. Searching for the answers to the aims and goals raised in the thesis, the author has analyzed international and national legal acts that regulate international legal cooperation, defined the conception of organized crime and stressed its main features, surveyed the role of international organizations combating organized crime. The major function of international legal cooperation is optimization and acceleration of cooperation between the states in criminal cases as well as establishment of direct relations between the subjects.

While Robert and Cora Crawley may not always see eye-to-eye, their dispositions complement each other greatly, and their marriage brings warmth to Downton Abbey. The Lord and Lady collection, inspired by the couple, carries that motif onto fabric.
Robert's Herringbone pattern in this collection is drawn from the wools, which he would have worn while out on his hunts. It contrasts and finds balance with Cora's Dahlia pattern, which is directly inspired by one of the many elegant dresses she's worn in prior seasons of the show.
