is in the market since 1976 with Honda Accord. These gadgets will provide countless hours for them, and they will turn
around and sell them to Wall Street, where they are held
and when they arise. And workers will find half a million dollars this is cars 920 one
of the safest caars on the market.
How does your Mobile Phone Charger actually work?
The technicalities
Technically, what we refer to as a phone charger is more of a power adapter that provide a power source to charge to circuitry in the mobile phone. They have been notoriously diverse with a wide variety of styles on the DC connector pin as well as in voltage – remember your phone running out of charge at work, and desperately looking for someone who had the same brand and make of phone as yourself so that you can restore power to it?
How a mobile phone charger works
Mobile phones and many other mobile devices rely on rechargeable batteries as their primary source of power. But, we need to understand the basics of batteries and battery charging to fully understand how our mobile phones charge.
Battery charging
All batteries and chargers function on the basic principle of converting stored chemical energy into electrical energy and vice
versa. When you connect a battery to an electronic device, the chemical energy stored in the battery is converted into electrical energy as a result of a reaction within the battery. When we connect our mobile to the phone charger, this reaction within the battery is reversed and electrical energy is converted back into chemical energy stored in the battery.
Lithium-ion batteries
Most mobile phones use rechargeable batteries that house lithium-ion chemistry as a source of power. Inside this type of battery, there is a cathode (a negatively charged electrode) comprised of lithium metal oxide and an anode (a positively charged electrode) made up of carbon; they are separated by an electrolyte conductor. When a mobile phone powered by a lithium-ion battery is connected to the mains supply (via a mobile phone charger), the lithium ions in the battery flow FROM the cathode TO the anode.
When the phone is being used and disconnected from the mobile phone charger, the lithium ions flow in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
Different types of chargers
There are some different types of mobile phone chargers available but all of which use the same principle in charging the mobile phone battery. Standard wall mobile phone chargers use the electrical energy produced to charge the battery. Mobile phone car chargers use the electrical energy from the car's battery to charge the battery and USB chargers use the electrical energy from the laptop or desktop PC to charge the battery.
Charging in stages
- The first stage of charging sees the battery's voltage increase quickly and significantly due to the constant electrical current.
- Stage two is when this voltage peaks and the current from the charger begins to decrease.
- Stage three is when the battery is fully charge and the charger cuts the current off from the mobile phone
- Stage 4 is stand-by mode – in other words, the charger if it stays connected will supply a top up charge if and when the phone is used and the voltage of the battery drops below a certain level.
Mobile phone chargers are moving on at a great pace. Smart phones could soon be charged in your car through a wireless phone charging system (source: BBC website 20/12/12). Car manufacturer Toyota is looking to introduce a new charging system known as Qi (pronounced "chee") in to one of its models. The smart phone would simply sit on a special mat and through magnetic induction, would charge the battery in your mobile phone. This method of phone charging could become main stream in new cars within months!

Since it's her feast day, I am reading about Edith Stein. I've learned (unless it's something I'd known and forgotten) that she was born on the Jewish day of Atonement, and that her pious Jewish mother considered this to be of great significance.
And then I find this line from her memoirs. It comes from a moment in her teen years, when she was having to decide what to do with herself: where to go, what to study. Her family was giving her definite hints, but she was resisting their influence. Her decision had to be her own.
I could not act unless I had an inner compulsion to do so. My decisions arose out of a depth that was unknown even to myself.
This captures at least two central …continue reading

October 12 is a big day for personalists of our stripe. It is the birthday of both Edith Stein (1891) and Dietrich von Hildebrand (1889).
To mark the happy occasion, a characterically personalist passage from each:

In order to understand the nature of the heart, we must realize that in many respects the heart is more the real self of the person than his intellect or will.
In the moral sphere it is the will which has the character of a last, valid word. Here the voice of our free spiritual center counts above all.
We find the true self primarily in the will. In many other domains, however, it is the heart which is the most intimate part of the person, the core, the real self, rather …

Yesterday, August 9, was the feast day of Edith Stein, Sr. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, one of the patron saints and philosophical forebears of the Personal Project. The Vatican has a good short biography here. Born to a Jewish family in Breslau, Germany, she was part of the circle of brilliant students who, in the early years of the 20th century, gathered in Göttingen around Edmund Husserl, Adolf Reinach and Max Scheler to study phenomenology. Later (partly through Scheler's influence) she converted to Catholicism, became a Carmelite nun, and ultimately died a martyr for her faith in Auschwitz.
Jules and I were in Rome on the great day of her Canonization in 1998.

Like von Hildebrand, whose birthday she shares, Edith Stein studied philosophy in Göttingen under Edmund Husserl and Adolf Reinach. There, too, she met Max Scheler, whose genius influenced her profoundly.
From a short biography by Laura Garcia:

Stein's philosophical studies encouraged her openness to the possibility of transcendent realities, and her atheism began to crumble under the influence of her friends who had converted to Christianity.
During the summer of 1921, at the age of twenty-nine, Stein was vacationing with friends but found herself alone for the evening. She picked up, seemingly by chance, the autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila, founder of the Carmelite Order. She …

October 12th is a sort of feast day for the Personalist Project, since it is the birthday of Dietrich von Hildebrand (1889) and Edith Stein (1891). They studied philosophy (a few years apart) under phenomenologists Adolf Reinach and Edmund Husserl; both were profoundly influenced by Max Scheler. They were converts to Catholicism (DvH from nominal Protestantism; ES from Judaism). Both dedicated themselves to resisting the evil of Naziism, intellectually, morally, and religiously.
Lacking time to do their contributions anything like justice, let me at least offer, in honor of the day, a glimpse of why the Personalist Project looks to them as two of our leading lights.

Last night we attended a talk by George Weigel at Immaculata University comparing John Paul II and Edith Stein. My reaction was somewhat mixed. Weigel has a marvelous command of the timeline of their lives and some of the major points of convergence between these two giants of 20th century Catholicism and 20th century philosophy: their shared faith and intellectual vocation, their common critique of the atheism and materialism of the modern world, their profound interest in re-establishing the right relation between faith and reason, their work to bring Thomism and phenomenology into fruitful contact with each other, their contributions toward a Christian femininism, and so on.

Miuccia Prada: Wild At Heart
By Tim Blanks
Two years ago, she had gone even further, when she sent her male models down the catwalk in what looked like little tutus over their trousers. The resulting storm of derision saw the offending items pulled from the showroom within a few days. Prada acknowledges her surprising sensitivity to criticism. Was she being naive in not anticipating the response or deliberately trying to disturb her audience? 'No, I want to do something new,' is her response. 'Maybe people are disturbed, but I like when I disturb with something that is so simple -- a little plastic skirt and people seem scandalized. I always search for something new, a new reading. Until I get excited, I know I'm doing nothing interesting.'
Go into any Prada shop and you'll find plenty of sober, beautifully cut suits, office-appropriate striped shirts, and muted knitwear -- the kind of clothing that makes up the bulk of the business. But Miuccia's own seasonal 'new reading' for the Prada man often seems to involve something ambiguous. It has definitely become younger in spirit since she closed the men's division of her second label, Miu Miu, at the beginning of 2008. The idea that she may be bent on subverting traditional concepts of masculinity would seem less surprising if she herself weren't clearly such a man's woman. The collaborators with whom she works most closely -- including her husband Patrizio Bertelli, Germano Celant (Fondazione Prada's artistic curator), the architect Rem Koolhaas -- have the silver fox charisma of men at the height of their authority and power. Try subverting that.
Still, Prada does like to make life hard for herself. 'Hard is a consequence,' she agrees. 'I try to do things that are interesting and exciting.' Her most recent excitements have been the Double Club, the pop-up nightclub in London that was conceived by artist Carsten Holler and funded by Prada, and the equally temporary Prada Transformer, a Rem Koolhaas'designed multipurpose structure in Seoul. The integration of art, architecture, and design has shaped her company's distinctive Renaissance personality. And it seems to have cast Prada herself in the role of patron, a modern-day counterpart of the Medicis. 'Maybe from the outside, it would look like this,' she counters, 'but I don't live it like this. It's more direct. It's not that I put people together. I am very much involved in all these ideas. And very often it comes from me.'
But if that sounds supremely confident, her attitude toward her collaborations also hints at a surprising insecurity -- or maybe it's just pragmatism. 'I see that people want to do things with me because I am successful in my work and they respect my work,' Prada claims. 'If my job weren't relevant, there would not be the same attraction. It's not a question of coordinating others or of having money. It's the idea that creative people are always in search of other creative people.'
Prada has a radar for the relevant. 'This is something I inherited from my mother,' she says. 'When I enter the room, I see very often the truth. So probably in my work, I get what is relevant to women or men.' The relevance of fashion itself is something she never questions. 'There must be something important in fashion because people are so crazy about it,' she explains. 'Like music. It attracts people in such an incredible way there must be something very serious about it. We think it's so superficial, but its impact on young people is huge.'

Request a live demoof the Acquia platform
Rasmus Lerdorf, the creator of PHP, commented in an interview with France's leading newspaper Le Monde, that "it will be practically impossible to create today a proprietary alternative to Drupal". The remarks were in the context of the evolution of open source in the market.
It was a very good year
As we're just a few days away from 2010, I've been reflecting on the momentum Acquia has built over the last year. Based on our reception by the market, and the steady rise in enterprise acceptance of social computing, it's clear 2010 will be a significant year both for our company and Drupal.
Acquia issued a press release today contrasting Social Publishing platforms represented by Drupal and the growing number of Social Business Software products. At first glance it would seem that we don't like those products, but that's not the case. The products have some nice capabilities and many organizations are using them daily.
I was re-reading the October, 2008 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Social Software last week. Gartner of course, is a key analyst for many enterprises evaluating IT strategies or making tactical decisions on software deployments. We've been speaking to them about the convergence of web content management and social software, something we call "social publishing".

THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN Reboot Penned by Richard Matheson and Richard Matheson, Jr. for MGM
by Dave Trumbore Posted 1 year, 309 days ago
Fans of 1950s horror/sci-fi should be familiar with Richard Matheson's The Incredible Shrinking Man, which is about to get another reboot courtesy of MGM. Matheson will pen the adaptation with his son, Richard Matheson, Jr. The father-son duo will update the 1956 story to modern times while keeping the tone of the original. Matheson wrote the story during a time when atomic-bomb and radioactive fears fueled fiction, but will bring up-to-date science such as nanotechnology into the mix. Universal previously held the rights to the book, but MGM picked them up last summer and plans to produce an action-oriented adaptation. Hit the jump for more on The Incredible Shrinking Man.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Investment managers may be well served to file their upcoming Form 13F reports (due next Wednesday, August 14th) early this quarter. That is because a new EDGAR filing format went into effect on May 20, 2013, pursuant to which all Form 13F filing must now be made in XML format rather than text-based ASCII format.
All Form 13F filers must now submit their Form 13F using the online form that is available on the EDGAR Filing Website and must construct their Information Table according to the SEC's new EDGAR XML Technical Specification. (In connection with this new required filing format, the SEC has issued EDGAR Form 13F XML Technical Specification (Version 1), which can be accessed HERE.) In order to implement this change, the SEC, in EDGAR Release 13.1, converted Form 13F to an online form. As a result, Form 13F may now only be filed using the new online version of the form available on the EDGAR Filing Website or constructed by Form 13F filers according to the new "EDGAR Form 13F XML Technical Specification" document.
Investment managers should be aware that this new application was not made available for viewing or testing prior to deployment and that, in formulating this new format, the SEC has made the explicit assumption that each Form 13F filer is familiar with the basics of the XML language, Namespaces, and the XML Schema Definition language. This may result in some managers being hard pressed to file their reports in the new format on the final filing day unless they are fluent in XML language and have pre-tested the EDGAR filing website with respect to their document format.
Having completed numerous Form 13F filings using the new application, we encourage investment managers to file early to avoid last-minute complications. Should questions arise, we are experienced with the format and have developed strategies for identifying and dealing with some of the potential filing issues.

It has been anything but a year of wellness for health care providers.
The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Healthcare Provider Fund (IHF) has fallen 47% so far this year, more than the S&P 500's 32% decline.
The ETF returned 18.3% in 2007 vs. 5.5% for the S&P 500. The underperformance was unexpected in 2008, in light of the fact that many investors sought out less-risky asset classes as the year unfolded. Historically, an investment in health care would have sounded like a good place to be, given its defensive nature. This notion has proven to be anything but the case.
IHF, whose top holdings include UnitedHealth Group (UNH), WellPoint (WLP), Medco Health Solutions (MHS), Aetna (AET) and Humana (HUM), ran into trouble early on in 2008.In March, WellPoint slashed its full-year forecast due to higher-than-expected medical costs. Humana followed the lead two days later while blaming revised projections on the performance of its Medicare Part D plan. In April, UnitedHealth continued the trend when it reported its first-quarter results. Unusually high influenza costs and a decline in membership for its risk-based commercial markets products were cited as contributing factors to a downward revision in its full-year outlook. IHF's slide raises the issue as to whether the ETF is a bargain or value trap. It's now trading at $39, down from its 2008 high of $64. "We put a 'sell' rating on it when it broke below $59 in January," said Philip Yockey, president and chief investment officer of Tactical Analytics, an independent private research company. "Right now you are at a price that you only see 5% of the time. Either it's cheap or something has fundamentally changed."

Seminar Brochure PDF
The National Employment Lawyers Association's Trial Boot Camp is an intensive two-day skills-based program specifically designed for plaintiffs' employment lawyers at all levels of trial experience. The Boot Camp will feature interactive demonstrations and presentations on successful techniques and strategies for trying employment cases. Topics include opening statements, closing arguments, direct and cross-examination of witnesses, the rules of evidence, jury selection, and more.
Choose How You Participate
Individuals who register as "
Trial Boot Camp Advocates
" will have the opportunity to refine their trial techniques and perfect their individual styles by conducting two three-hour mock trials. This format will enable you to "learn by doing," observe other lawyers practice their techniques, and receive constructive feedback. Advance preparation is required for Trial Boot Camp Advocates. Those who wish to learn by listening to and watching the lectures, demonstrations, mock trials, and critiques, but who do not want to conduct the mock trials themselves may register as "
Trial Boot Campers
All participants will be assigned to one of the Trial Boot Camp's "Trial Teams" based on experience level. Trial Teams will be led by the same "Trial Team Leader" throughout both days of the Boot Camp. The Boot Camp will use a common fact pattern based on an actual pregnancy discrimination case. Participants will be provided with the case materials in advance of the Boot Camp, and are strongly encouraged to review them before they arrive at the Boot Camp to maximize the learning experience.

Ryan & Maniskas, LLP Announces Investigation On Behalf Of Participants In Transocean Ltd.'s 401k Retirement Plans
Ryan & Maniskas, LLP ( www.rmclasslaw.com/cases/transocean401k) announces that it is investigating potential claims against Transocean Ltd. ("Transocean" or the "Company") (NYSE:RIG) concerning whether the Company's retirement plans imprudently invested in Transocean stock and whether the Plans' administrators breached their fiduciary duties to participants in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
For more information regarding this investigation, please contact Ryan & Maniskas, LLP (Richard A. Maniskas, Esquire) toll-free at (877) 316-3218 or by email at email@example.com or visit: www.rmclasslaw.com/cases/transocean401k.
Our investigation concerns whether Transocean, which permitted investment of Company stock in Transocean's retirement plans, breached its fiduciary duty to plan participants by failing to disclose known hazards associated with its use of certain blowout preventers on ultra-deepwater drilling engagements from investors in its 2009 and 2010 statements. These actions made investing in Transocean stock by plan participants an imprudent investment.
For more information about the case or to participate online, please visit:

DCPP Court: Desperately Seeking Logic
In the world of child protection, judges are often inclined to "err on the side of caution" when faced with requests for parenting time. Almost universally, parents are required to be supervised when the litigation commences. As the case proceeds, that supervision is often lessened to the point of allowing unsupervised time leading into reunification. But how often do we truly...Read More
DCPP Segway into Custody Litigation
In New Jersey, as in most jurisdictions, the court must consider whether or not a child would be subjected to abuse or neglect in the care of any parent seeking legal and physical custody of the child. Consequently, the outcome of an abuse or neglect case brought by DCPP can be very significant for custody litigation. When a parent has been found by the agency or a court to have abused or...Read More

Pennsylvania Capitol Building Collapses -- April Fool's Day, 1976
The Patriot (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) published a photograph of the state capitol building collapsing. A caption below the picture read, "Custodian A.F. Day said the blast occurred during a joint House-Senate session addressed by Hubert Humphrey and Gov. Milton Shapp… Day attributed the explosion to an abnormal expansion of hot air which usually is absorbed by acoustic seats in the chamber." The hoax elicited negative comments from many readers who accused the paper of "confusing fun with irresponsibility." Two days later the paper apologized for the hoax and promised that it would never publish another. The hoax recalled a similar April Fool's Day joke published by the Madison Capital-Times in 1933.

John Varvatos Celebrates NY Fashion Week With Performance By The Roots
New York, NY – Rock 'n' Roll designer John Varvatos kicked off NY Fall Fashion Week, on Fashion's Night Out, with a very special concert at his 315 Bowery store featuring the stars of his Fall 2011 ad campaign, and four time GRAMMY award winning artists The Roots.
The New York Fashion Week crowd, which was as fresh and diverse as the music, packed in to the dimly lit former CBGB's space filled with musicians and fashion industry VIPs. The Roots played a nice blend of hip hop music while also covering hits from amazing rock bands such as Led Zepplin and Guns 'n' Roses …it was a rock fan's dream come true.
John Varvatos commented on evening's performances saying, "Incredible. It's something about the Roots being true musicians—they filled the room with pulsing energy, the likes of which we have never had. This was historic."
The notable guests that came out to celebrate John Varvatos' Fall 2011 Fashion Week event included: CW's Chace Crawford, and Miss Jay from "America's Next Top Model." Also in attendance, NY Knicks Amare Stoudemire, Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Heidi Klum, Kelly Bensimone, Corinne Bailey Rae, Gina Gershon, Rose McGowan, Sean Avery and more!
Rangers player, Henrik Lundqvist said, "One of the benefits of living in NYC is that we can connect with designers like John Varvatos, how have original "Roots" with the city."
Amir "Quest Love" from the Roots said, "We've worked with John Varvatos before and we are very happy to be here jammin' with him again."Copyright © 2014, Daily Press

Swimming instructor sentenced to 5 years
LITCHFIELD — Former Canaan YMCA swim instructor Martin P. Gingras didn't apologize for sexually assaulting two young boys before he was sentenced to five years in prison on risk of injury charges Thursday in Superior Court.
Instead, the 35-year-old said he was sorry for the situation that arose and hoped that everyone could move beyond it.

What Happens When Your Van Gogh Is Gone?
When you visit a museum, don't just gaze at the art on the walls. Take a good look at the guards posted in the rooms and doorways, especially their line of sight to the exhibits. Then check out the blinking cameras in the ceiling, the bolted-to-the-wall frames of the paintings and the shatterproof non-reflective casings on the statuary.
And be aware that others, less reputable than you, are doing the same thing.
The recent art theft at the Kunsthal gallery in the Netherlands shows that art thieves also know their way around a museum. And they like Impressionist paintings. These thieves stole two Monets, a Matisse, and a Gauguin, as well as a Picasso. And all in the five minutes before a "state of the art" (no pun intended) alarm alerted the police, who arrived within five minutes.
'Museum of the Missing'
These paintings now belong to the " Museum of the Missing," as one book on the subject describes it, which currently includes 340,000 art objects, according to the Art Loss Register. The "missing" collection also has five Rembrandts.The paintings removed from the Kunsthal are from the private collection of multimillionaire Willem Cordia, whose family expressed "shock." Which leads us to ask: Why do wealthy collectors lend their artwork to museums and galleries when they risk losing their prized possessions?
Not nailed downMore wealthy people than ever are collecting art. In uncertain times, classic art is a certainty. Auction houses such as Christie's saw art sales soar 200-fold in recent years. And this year when Sotheby's auctioned off Edvard Munch's painting "The Scream," the selling price was a record $120 million. Incidentally, two versions of "The Scream" have already been stolen, with only one recovered. "The recovery rate for stolen art is minimal," says a study in the Suffolk Transnational Law Journal, at least in the short term.

(CNN) -- The Formula One title has long been won but Sebastian Vettel is showing no signs of letting up.
The German blew past the field in qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix, finishing ahead of nearest rival Nico Rosberg by six-tenths of a second in heavy rain at Interlagos on Saturday. Fernando Alonso was third.
"Surprised by the margin," Red Bull's Vettel said to reporters. "When I was told, I was very happy. I even mixed up Spanish and Portuguese.
"I was on the radio saying, 'Ole, ole' but ole is Spanish so I don't know the expression in Portuguese but maybe someone can tell me today and hopefully I'll have another chance tomorrow."
Given his form, he'll be the substantial favorite Sunday.
Vettel wrapped up his fourth consecutive world title at the end of last month and he has claimed eight straight wins -- a first in a single season.
If he gets to nine Sunday in the final race he would match Alberto Ascari's 50-year record. Ascari won nine in a row over two different seasons, in 1952 and 1953.
Vettel would also hit 13 victories in a season to equal compatriot Michael Schumacher's haul in 2004.
While there's no drama at the summit of the individual standings, Mark Webber -- in his Formula One farewell -- can still catch Lewis Hamilton for third and the Australian starts fourth on the grid to the Briton's fifth.
Rosberg's Mercedes leads Alonso's Ferrari by 15 points in the team standings.
Rosberg and Hamilton are well placed but Alonso's No. 2 Felipe Massa -- who ends his long association with the Italian outfit when the season concludes -- finished ninth in qualifying in front of his home fans.

From mediabistro.com: the Authors Guild totally changed all authors' lives today as they secured at least $60 apiece (and up to a whopping $300) for all authors whose books will go on Google Books. That was certainly worth all the trouble.
Here's a summation of what the Authors Guild's doing, what they're fighting for, and why they're dumb.
The book-scanning project
To recap, what Google wants to do (here's the EFF guide) ss scan every book in the world, and then divide them into three groups:
- Out-of copyright books will be made freely available for free to everyone, free.
- In-copyright, in-print books will be scanned, but rights-holders would have to actively opt-in in order to enable users to search within those books, or buy them.
- And the real focus is on in-copyright, out-of-print books, the ones that are difficult to find anywhere except libraries. These books will be available to search within, preview and get full access to for a fee.
The Authors Guild sued not because of the payment structure for in-copyright books, but because they said the scanning of the books was violating their copyrights.
That's right: the Authors Guild sued because they said digitizing books which were no longer in print (and making it possible for the authors to get paid for them again) was violating their copyrights. So the $60 mentioned above was not for rights fee, but simply for the inconvenience of having your book scanned and made available to anyone who cares to search it.
The Google terminal
The other tine of this ridiculous fork is the Google terminal, which is a machine on which people can read the full texts of all Google-scanned books. Google agreed to install exactly one in every library. Wade Roush at Xconomy has more.
The thing I don't understand about this is why it even exists. If you have to go down to the library to read the book for free, why not just, you know, check it out and read it for free?
Or, if you're serious about making these books available, why not build a whole crapload of terminals like the Digital Library Foundation wants? Or why not just build the permissions into the internet computers that libraries already have, and get Google to buy you a whole bunch more of those?
Essentially, the Authors Guild wants to get paid–or, more specifically, doesn't want to not get paid. So even if it's a paltry token payment, like the $60 for scanning, they just want to get a win, like a bad high school football team.
They opposed the digitizing, and then they made it just as difficult as it ever was to get free access to these out-of-print books, effectively cancelling out a lot of the goodness of the Google Books program. I can't imagine a fortune in copyright fees on out-of-print books is now going to come pouring out of Google Books; the books aren't easy to read on the engine itself (plus, of course, there's a reason that they're out-of-print in the first place).
So my one simple question for the authors guild is: What are you trying to accomplish with all this?
Other bits and bobs
In other news, TeleRead pointed out a Guardian piece on the other colossal Authors Guild screw-up going on. And, appropos of nothing, here's a Slate article about the bad uses of good technology–it's actually about preimplantation genetic diagnosis, but the writer's conclusion (including the thought that "Part of our challenge as readers and writers of history is to see differences between individuals, even as we weave them together in a collective story") is pretty universal.

His work has been described as both joyous and playful. So who better to illustrate the animated spirit of the season than San Francisco artist Rex Ray, whose vintage-riffing piece adorns the covers of The Christmas Book and our Holiday issue of the book?
Ray's distinctive oeuvre may elicit an I know I've seen that somewhere response. Perhaps it was a painting in a museum or gallery, a wall covering commissioned for the dining room of New York's Strand Hotel, or one of Ray's many design collaborations with Sony and DreamWorks. Or maybe you're thinking of one of the tour posters he's created for the Rolling Stones, U2, or punk poet Patti Smith. Perhaps you've even gazed upon Ray's Untitled, 2012, a piece from the permanent NM art collection that currently hangs in our Walnut Creek store.
For the holiday collaboration, Ray's energetic swoops and swirls form a fanciful interpretation of NM's house symbol, the butterfly. It began as a painting/collage, with digital flourishes and color-play added later. "This type of hybrid allows me to mix a wide variety of mediums--painting, block-printing, silk screening, as well as digitally augmented coloring and textures," explains Ray. "In this way, the work references nature, ornament, technology, and modernism."

How would you like to be empowered by an inner guiding force - so you can
|Liberate your natural motivation to eat the right foods when really hungry!
Be guided toward a thinner, firmer, healthier and more gratifying life!
"Tomorrow..." We swear that tomorrow we'll never stuff ourselves again with lasagna, or beef stroganoff, or pepperoni pizza, or cheese cake. And just to make sure it works this time, like a drill sergeant, we say to ourselves: "Starting tomorrow: I'll exercise, exercise, and whip this body right into shape!"
Then soon afterwards, you might have some unpleasant experience - maybe you're feeling stressed or angry, or simply lonely, insecure or bored. And you begin to crave some soothing reward... "Food? Of course not! No way," you say. "Well... just a little chocolate fudge ice cream won't hurt... just a little more... Oh God, I might just as well finish the whole carton! Who am I kidding? I'm a failure, a pathetic failure, I'm out of control! I'm fat. I'll always be fat!"
NLP Hypnosis MetaVision Programs™
Each NLP Hypnosis MetaVision Program combines the pioneering, deeper learning strategies of Dr. Milton Erickson and Neuro-Linguistic-Programming with the ancient wisdom of many religious, philosophical and mystical traditions - and has been intricately conceived to liberate the positive, life-transforming energy of your deeper mind!
Is there any way to alleviate these cravings, these feelings of helplessness, frustration, and self-disappointment? And the resentment of having to deprive yourself of what you enjoy in order to keep in shape?
'I was a typical yo-yo dieter, constantly battling the bulge. I went on every crazy weight loss plan, spent a fortune on tasteless prepackaged food, went to support groups, and starved on protein shakes. The result was always the same. I would lose weight, then quickly gain it back and more.
S.D. - Victoria, Australia
Yes, there is. The LOSE WEIGHT & STAY IN SHAPE program liberates inside you your magical Life Force - enlightening you with a truer, more authentic perception of yourself, in your best shape: thinner, firmer, healthier.
Living with more energy, free to enjoy life - and food - more than ever before! For now you're naturally attracted to foods that are good for you, eating enough to satisfy your body's genuine needs, and these healthy foods are more satisfying than ever before.And on the very occasions you once felt low, and looked to food for comfort, you now sense inside a magical force naturally renewing and soothing you - leading you to more appealing and satisfying means to provide those comforting, rewarding feelings and leading you to experience more enjoyment in physical activity!
Silent Technology™
a new revolution in subconscious programming technology.
Imagine the pleasure of eating light, nutritious meals - and throughout your day, not even thinking about sweet or fattening foods. The pleasure of no longer having to feel you are denying yourself anything! By replacing the emotional satisfaction food once seemed to provide, now in you own time, you can safely and sensibly reduce your weight and stay in your best shape!
'Your CD's are the best! I'm continually amazed at how easy food management has become. I struggled my entire life with being overweight. I tried all the usual pasty powdered shakes, weight loss "center"s, and fad diets with little or no success.
