With Borges
Thomas Allen Publishers, 2004 - Biography & Autobiography - 106 pages
During the 1960's, Alberto Manguel, then a teenager, worked after school at a bookstore in Buenos Aires. One day, the legendary Jorge Luis Borges, who would come into the store after work, asked the young man if he would mind coming to his apartment to read to him in the evenings. Borges, a giant of modern literature, had gradually become blind and could no longer read his beloved books.For several years, Manguel spent many evenings reading to the master of fiction he had studied at school. He witnessed the blind Borges' extraordinary ability to pick out from the shelf titles he knew he would enjoy simply by running his fingers along the spines of the books. He discovered Borges' fondness for Sherlock Holmes, watched gangster movies starring James Cagney, and sat through "West Side Story" with him. But even as he visited Borges in his dark, comfortable apartment, reading out loud and talking about books, we glimpse the inner world of a literary legend. Illustrated by rare photos of Borges by Argentinian Sara Facio, this book is a remarkable window into the private life of one of the greatest authors of the twentieth century.

Ideal candidate is passionate about creative problem solving and is an excellent writer.
Together, we are left and right-brained; we are innovative and intentional; we are gifted artists and cogent writers. Because we are a team, no challenge is too great: we know how to play to each other's strengths in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
We're creative…not conformist. We have a strong track record for bringing our clients big ideas: it's never about "how can we do this?" but rather "how can we do this better?" Sometimes that means taking a calculated risk or parting with convention to achieve an objective, and we feel good about that.
We're strategic…not formulaic. There are no "plug and play" solutions at Adfero – each challenge is approached with the same level of attention and scrutiny as the next. We get results because we strive to see the bigger picture and ask the right questions up front.
Our core purpose as a firm is different than most. We recognize that each of our team members sees the world – and approaches challenges – in a unique way. Our clients directly benefit from the wide range of perspectives, talents and experiences that Adfero employees offer, and it is therefore in our interest to fully invest in each member of our team.
So we take employee development very seriously. This means devoting significant time and resources to build upon the distinctive talents of each individual so that he or she is empowered to be a truly thoughtful, strategic advisor to our clients. When our team members thrive, our clients receive the best service.
We strongly believe that the best work is produced by people who love what they do. But no matter how much we love launching advocacy campaigns, building websites, or writing creative ad copy, nothing beats a culture of energy, inclusion, and – you guessed it – fun.
Our offices are on K Street for a reason. Whether you're looking to us for public affairs support, digital advocacy and/or grassroots mobilization, we do it all. And we get results.
Whether it's a single project or an ongoing campaign, it all starts with a powerful strategy. Sometimes, a challenge calls for a creative, out-of-the-box solution; other times, getting results means going back to the basics. Either way, we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and our work reflects that.
You've come to the right place. Just a few more clicks and we can start helping you tackle your latest project or challenge. And, if we daresay, we're pretty great to work with.
Adfero is a growing company and it's an exciting time to be part of our team. We're always looking for standout talent: team players who love what they do, are hungry to learn and eager for a challenge.
We take great pride in our work and our people, and we believe in spreading the good around. Whether that means supporting another organization that's doing great things or empowering our team members to help make a difference in their own communities, altruism is important to us.
We're not about individual status; each member of our staff occupies an important seat at the table. When clients choose to work with Adfero, they know that they are hiring people who are collaborative, supportive and challenge-oriented. In other words, they know that they are hiring a great team.
Our core purpose as a firm is to create opportunities for people to do what they do best. But fulfilling that mission doesn't stop at offering jobs to talented people -- our growth and success at the company level is every bit as important as the individual growth of each of our team members.
We take the physical, mental and emotional well-being of our team members very seriously. Work/life balance is not just a concept we tout; we want our employees to take breaks and enjoy the utmost flexibility. And when it comes to benefits, we don't stop at the basics.
Loving what you do and having fun go hand-in-hand. Adfero employees are united by a zeal for communication, to be sure, but we also share a strong desire to enjoy our work and each other. Our culture embraces humor, quirkiness, curiosity —and even a little bit of friendly competition.
Adfero Group understands that the quality of our people directly impacts the quality of the work we present to our clients. As a result, the excellence in our products and services are mirrored by the excellence of our people. The people who make up Adfero Group tend to be both creative and forward thinking while holding themselves and their work to the highest levels of quality. They have come to us from a broad range of professional and educational paths, and bring to the table a wide array of talents and skills.
Although we operate in a challenging, fast-paced and agile work environment, we think it is important to remain committed to our people. People are our number one resource and deserve to be treated as such.
To work at Adfero Group is to work in a collaborative, team-centered environment. The work performed is demanding, complex, exciting, and fun. Adfero Group employs people who are either part time or full time in order to achieve the needs of our clients. In the end, we desire to create an exciting place to work and grow.
Ideal candidate is passionate about creative problem solving and is an excellent writer.
The individual will work on advertising, public education and issue advocacy projects for our clients, as well as Adfero-branded marketing efforts.

Carte Overview
Based on the original 1996 card game known as Arcadia, Carte revisits a world where magic and honor is everything. With an entire continent at war, join others as you choose one of five nations (Iron Empire, Kingdom of Darkness, Kingdom of Nature, Divine Empire, or Magician's Association) and build a deck of cards capable of a glorious victory. Each deck is built around a player's selected Hero card and 64 additional cards to assist in attacks and defense strategies. Similar to other iTCGs like Magic the Gathering or Yu-Gi-Oh users can cast spells, set traps, and use special items for an edge in battles. Participate in solo matches against AI, PvP duels, raids, or tournaments for huge prizes. Collect multiple decks to summon mighty creatures and rule the land of Arcadia in this F2P CCG.

Carte Full Review
By Ange Perdu
Carte is a free-to-play collectable card game from GamesCampus based on the TCG Arcadia. Set in a land consumed by magic and violence players must choose between one of the five warring nations. Create a powerful army of knights and summon monsters to protect your alliance using various decks of cards. Strategically place cards to support your selected Hero card and ensure a victory. Collect hundreds of unique cards or gather and combine special material cards to produce an entirely new card. Participate in solo matches against an AI opponent, duel others in PvP battles, or join forces with friends for challenging boss raids. Tournaments are also held daily in this fantasy world where myths and legends are real.
Placing Creatures in the Attack Zone, the Gameplay
Don't let the brief comic style tutorial introduction fool you. Unlike Yu-Gi-Oh, there's a somewhat steep learning curve in this game. Players begin with an optional yet very necessary tutorial guided AI match covering the basics. In Carte not only do you have a variety of playable cards but each card can be played in multiply ways which can be confusing in the beginning. Luckily, players do not have to build their deck from scratch. Each player starts out with a thorough starter deck of 65 cards. Once a match has been initiated players are transported to a virtual table top battlefield divided into zones. A quick toss up of paper, rock, or scissors decides which opponent goes first. Each player selects their Hero card and then places a creature card on the battlefield in either the attack or defense zone. All decks are built around a player's selected Hero card to assist during combat. If a hero's HP reaches zero then the game is over. There is an assortment of different so-called creatures that range from militia men to vampires depending on the affiliated faction and deck used.
Cards representing items, magic, tarot, and traps can also be used at various points in the game. Item cards are primarily for heroes to use. They often come in the form of weapons like the mighty sword, blade, staff, or dagger. Magic cards cast powerful spells and tarot cards add a random twist to the match. Traps when placed are only triggered when their required condition has been met on the battlefield. Players have to strategically place the best creature card in the attack or defense zone suitable to defeat their opponent's lineup. All battles are turn-based. Users have to double click or press F1 to confirm each action, which makes the matches feel slow paced at times. Similar to Magic the Gathering Tactics mana is required to execute each move implementing a shard system. Cards can be placed in the mana zone or a shard card can be drawn to produce additional mana per turn.
Duels to Tournaments
In the lobby area players have several game options consisting of single matches, duels, and raids. There are also daily tournaments held every two hours. Tournaments reward winners with special prizes and bragging rights, of course. During the single match mode a player will battle solo against an AI opponent. In duels mode a player battles another in an intense match where XP and rare cards are rewarded. Much like the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game raids allow players to team up in order to battle challenging bosses. Teams in raids can only have up to three players. This mode is very difficult and matches have been known to go on for hours. The reward for each raid is listed before the game starts. They usually consist of hard to acquire cards. Earn rarities like the Sword of Advance, Full Moon of Coercion, or Orb of Life. Some of the reward cards won during duels and raids are special material cards that can be manipulated later in a player's deck editor.
Card Collecting Mayhem
In the deck editor and management sections players can sort, organize, and even dissemble cards that they've collected or purchased. The dissemble option is a very cool feature in Carte. Material cards which are only received during duels or raids can be broken down and then crafted into a rare card to use during battles. It's a nice addition to the gameplay. Like all iTCGs players can also trade and sell their cards to others. The shop area players can buy boosters, card decks, and individual cards. Three different sets of decks for each of the five factions are available for purchase. Decks range from 15,000 to 60,000 coins. Users can also buy individual Hero cards like Becker Krause, The Moonshadow, Aikhan, or Battle Mage. Stock up on rare deadly creatures like the Dread Lich, Pumpking, Skeleton Soldier, and Forest Wyvern. Invest in caster cards to perform the Sacrifice of the Kings, Iron Fist, and the Touch of the Meister. Equip your heroes with item card weapons like the Demon's Claw, Sword of Light, and the Steelbreaker Blade. The currency system is extremely balanced allowing free players an equal opportunity to earn enough in-game coins to purchase any of the items for sell in the shop. Spending real cash allows a player to possess a specific item sooner rather than later which is nice to see in F2P games.
Final Verdict: Great
Carte is by far one of the most in-depth and challenging trading card games online. There's a relatively steep learning curve due to the extensive card list and alternative methods to play them but to some players, it makes the game more fun. Strategically summon menacing creatures to assist your Hero card during battle. Cast an assortment of spells, use weapons for higher level of damage, or toss a tarot card into the mix to switch the odds in your favor. The customization is impressive. Users are able to collect hundreds of cards and even dissemble special cards to create rare ones. Anyone who enjoys TCGs or fans of the classic game Arcadia should definitely give Carte a try.

Q:What brought you to write the story of the theft of the Mona Lisa?
A: When I was researching my last book, Basilica: The Splendor and the Scandal—Building St. Peter's (Viking, 2006), I stumbled on a reference to the greatest art theft of all time. As I read on, I was stunned. I never knew that the Mona Lisa had been stolen. The most famous painting in the world had been missing for two years and assumed lost forever. The prime suspects in the case were Pablo Picasso and Guillaume Apollinaire. Two subjects that have always interested me—art and crime—together in a rollicking, long forgotten caper: How could I resist?
Q:What about theMona Lisa makes it such a unique and special painting?
A: I think it is the immediacy of the image, caught in a moment like the frame of a film, which enthralls. The first description ever written of her said, "She does not appear to be painted, but truly of flesh and blood." Although the enigmatic smile is her most famous feature, it is the eyes that captivate. They are warm, brown, and inescapable. Each person who looks at her becomes the only person in her world. If a dozen people crowded into a room with her, each would feel as if she only had eyes for him. The attention is flattering and, at the same time, maddening, because she gives away nothing of herself.
Q: You include a history of the Mona Lisa in VANISHED SMILE, noting that she's always been the subject of adoration – even causing men to claim they'd fallen in love with her. What acts of adoration have men performed for her over the years?
A: Mona Lisa has always made men do strange things. Leonardo clung to her, carrying her with him wherever he went. Raphael copied her. The French king Francois I paid a fortune to possess her. Louis XIV and Napoleon brought her into their bedrooms. In the 19th century, Romantic writers wrote passionate dissertation on her charms. Sigmund Freud went off on a flight of psychoanalytic fancy to understand and interpret her. Even a libertine as calloused as the Marquis de Sade was not immune to her charms. He called her "the very essence of femininity" poised between seduction and devoted tenderness. There are more than a million artworks in the Louvre. Only Mona Lisa receives her own mail. It is mostly love letters. For a time in the early 1900s, the letters were so ardent she was placed under police protection. Visitors often came to the Louvre to court her. Some left flowers, poems and notes. In 1910, a hopeless admirer, facing a lifetime of unrequited love, shot himself in front of her.
Q: Why do you think she has had this hypnotic effect throughout the ages?
A: When he began the portrait, Leonardo was experiencing an uncertain time in his life. The aging painter no longer had a specific patron or a secure income. Donato Bramante, an old friend and collaborator, was in Rome building the monumental new Basilica of St. Peter. Leonardo's young challengers, Michelangelo and Raphael, were also being called to the Vatican to work for Pope Julius. While they were in Rome becoming immortal, Leonardo was painting the young Signora del Giocondo. Financial records suggest that he agreed to paint the silk merchant's wife solely for financial gain, but he would not make it a simple portrait. He believed, "If the painter wishes to see beauties to fall in love with, it is in his power to bring them forth. . . . The painter can so subdue the minds of men that they will fall in love with a painting that does not represent a real woman." Some believe that Leonardo succeeded so well, he seduced himself. Whatever his intention, Mona Lisa is a continuum of desire. As one French Romantic wrote: "If Don Juan had met Mona Lisa, he would have been saved writing on his list the names of three thousand women. He would have written but one."
Q: Many mysteries have surrounded the Mona Lisa, almost since Da Vinci painted the portrait. One of them is over who the woman in the portrait was. What is the general consensus as to her identity, and how accurate to you deem this to be? Think we'll ever find out definitively?
A: In 1550, in his book Lives of the Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, Giorgio Vasari, the richest but not always the most reliable contemporary source on the Renaissance art world, identified the sitter as Lisa del Giocondo, the wife of a wealthy silk merchant in Florence. She was born Lisa Gherardini on the fifteenth of June, 1479, in the vineyards of Chianti. Through the centuries, art historians have disputed Vasari's claim and suggested many other candidates: Isabella of Aragon; Beatrice d'Este, the Duchess of Milan; one of Giuliano de'Medici's many mistresses, probably Pacifica Brandano or Costanza d'Avalos, or maybe his wife, Philippa of Savoy, aunt of Francois I, which could explain why the king was so eager to own her. Others have contended that she is an idealization, a self-portrait of the artist, even a man in drag.
In spite of the many theories to the contrary, Vasari's identification is the most credible. Last year while I was writing Vanished Smile, some German scholars happened upon a note in a book belonging to a city official in Florence named Agostino Vespucci. The book was a collection of Cicero's letters. Vespucci had jotted a note in the margin that Leonardo da Vinci was working on a portrait of Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo, the wife of a local silk merchant. Vespucci must have been a punctilious bureaucrat because he dated his note 1503. What is indisputable truth to one expert is dubious evidence to another, and some da Vinci scholars are still not convinced.
Q:What kind of research did you do as you wrote VANISHED SMILE, and where did you do it?
A: Vanished Smile brought me to Paris, where Mona Lisa was lost and where she lives again; to Florence, where she was found and where Leonardo began painting; to his home town of Vinci, which has a museum devoted entirely to him, and to a number of libraries here, among them the Library of Congress, the Watson Library of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Frick Museum library. But for Vanished Smile, as for every book that I have written, my research began at the New York Public Library, one of the great research libraries in the world. It is continually expanding its resources and adding new databanks. Today you can sit on Fifth Avenue and read, for example, the Paris Herald or the London Times of August 1911. In its Frederick Lewis Allen room, the NYPL offers a sanctuary where authors can research and write undisturbed.
Q: Why do you think Mona Lisa was stolen? The theft made the painting more famous than ever, but even at the time it was taken, the painting was too well-known to be sold openly or even hung in someone's home. What would the payoff be?
A: Mona Lisa was not stolen for money. She was much too famous to ever sell, and the thief (or thieves) never demanded a ransom for her safe return. If we rule out money, unrequited love, and compulsive collecting, the most plausible motive left is politics. From the first, there were rumors of politics at play. The theft coincided with the flare-up in the tensions between France and Germany that would lead to the first World War. Mona Lisa's disappearance was a conveniently timed distraction, buying time for tempers to cool and war to be postponed. "The news has caused such a sensation that Parisians for the time being have forgotten the rumors of war," reported the New York Times. An American in Paris, well-connected in art circles, wrote home to his son: "One ingenious French friend told me confidentially that Mona Lisa was not stolen but it was an arrangement to serve as a new sensation for the public and press to divert attention from the German war scare and that the painting in time would turn up safe and sound." Pro-Germans suspected that the devious French had faked the theft, not to distract from the war threat, but to rouse sentiment against the Kaiser. Francophiles countered that Kaiser Wilhelm and his government had abducted a national treasure to humiliate France. Whichever the case, the timing seemed too perfect to be coincidence.
Q: As far as who perpetrated the crime—do you think it was someone in Picasso's circle, or do you buy the tale of the Marques that was brought out in 1932, 21 years after the theft?
A: I don't subscribe to either theory. When I began to research the case, I assumed that the tale of a suave international scam artist executing a brilliant sting, then making his stunning confession in the pages of the Saturday Evening Post was true. Six millionaire art collectors, very likely J. P. Morgan and Benjamin Altman among them, had each bought a copy of Mona Lisa believing it was the original. As I delved into the subject, though, the tale began to unravel. It was a perfect story, but probably not the true story. And there never was any credible evidence that anyone in Picasso's much maligned "gang" was involved. I soon discovered that, like Mona Lisa herself, very little was certain about the case. To separate indisputable facts from fancy: the person who removed Mona Lisa from her frames on Monday, August 21, 1911, was Vincenzo Peruggia, an Italian-born glazier who had helped to build a glass-enclosed frame for the painting. There is no question that Peruggia—a.k.a. "Leonardo"—performed the actual theft. He left his calling card. The left thumbprint on the frame was his, and examinations by French and Italian experts proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the Mona Lisa he returned was the same painting that he stole. But the idea that Peruggia was the lone thief is implausible. Although I don't believe he acted alone, I could not crack the case. Who was behind the theft and, even more puzzling, why, remains a baffling mystery that will probably never be solved.
Q: You write that this was really the first global media event outside of war. What about this story captivated the world? Do you think it would have been as well-followed had it not involved somewhat well-known personalities like Picasso and Appollinaire?
A: In 1911, Picasso and Apollinaire were not the famous personalities that they are today. They were young Turks just beginning to be noticed. What drove the case to a significant extent was new technologies—photo reproduction and Marconi's wireless. The story traveled around the world as swiftly as telegraph and cable could carry it. The New York Times reported, "Nothing like the theft of the Mona Lisa had ever been perpetrated before in the world's history." This was the golden age of popular journalism, when wars were reported as glorious adventures and crimes of passion were rewritten as Romeo and Juliet romances with a salaciously sinister edge. L'Affaire de la Joconde combined beauty and loss, mystery and money, with hints of lust and romantic obsession. When Mona Lisa slipped out of her frames, she seemed to change from a missing masterpiece to a missing person. She came alive in the popular imagination. Captivated by her mystery and romance, the public felt her loss as emotionally as an abduction or a kidnapping. Global attention lifted Mona Lisa out of the museum, the preserve of the elite, and brought her to a mass audience. The Renaissance masterwork became the people's painting—the lost love of the nation and the world. Millions of readers who had never heard of her seven days before were glued to every installment of the missing person story.
Q: Reading the tale of the theft, it is surprising to hear how little security there was around the Louvre and the Mona Lisa at the time. How is the state of museum security today? (Considering that theft of Munch's The Scream in broad daylight from a Norwegian museum in 2004, is it that much better?)
A: When Mona Lisa disappeared, the porous security at the Louvre became a national scandal, and the museum director was fired. Today, Mona Lisa has her own personal room in the Louvre, constructed at a price tag of $6.2 million and paid for by a Japanese television company. It is a virtual bunker. Mona Lisa is set in concrete behind two sheets of bulletproof triple-laminated, nonreflective glass, separated by 9.5 inches (25 centimeters). Her own personal bodyguards protect her from a repeat of the theft of 1911. Beyond her personal protection, though, museum security remains a concern. Although significant improvements have been made, devising and paying for a foolproof system is impossible. Millions of dollars are hanging on walls in museums around the world, presenting an irresistible temptation to thieves. And the problem is compounded by the failure to hold art thieves accountable. Vincenzo Peruggia served less than a year for pulling off the most audacious art theft in history. A soaring art market and the continuing problem of museum security have made art theft the third most prevalent crime in the world, surpassed only by international smuggling and drug trafficking. The risk is small, the potential gain is tremendous, and, if the thief is caught, the punishment is still minimal.

1. What does Vanished Smile reveal about the art world in Europe in the early decades of the twentieth-century? In what ways was that world in the midst of momentous changes?
2. What are some of the most surprising facts about the Mona Lisa revealed in Vanished Smile? How does the painting's remarkable history contribute to its current status?
3. How did Picasso, Apollinaire, and other avant-garde artists regard the Mona Lisa? Why were they so passionately opposed to museums like the Louvre? Does their critique of museums have merit today?
4. Scotti writes that "Apollinaire would call it 'strange, incredible, tragic, and amusing all at once' that he was the only person ever arrested in France for the theft of the Mona Lisa" [p.109]. Why was the poet/provocateur considered a prime suspect in the Mona Lisa's theft? How did public perceptions of his character, and his own radical views about art, help to implicate him? What effect did his arrest have on him?
5. Scotti shows that Peruggia's stated motive for stealing the Mona Lisa—to restore her to her rightful place in Italy from which, he wrongly assumed, Napoleon had stolen her—was merely a cover for a money-making scheme. But the Louvre is filled with many great works that were plundered by Napoleon, and indeed many museums exhibit works of art that were either stolen or acquired in suspect transactions. Should museums be allowed to show and profit from works that were illegally or unethically acquired?
6. Why would thousands flock to the Louvre to view the empty space where the Mona Lisa had hung? How could the loss of a painting, even one as great as Mona Lisa, arouse such collective public grieving?
7. What are some of the more outlandish theories that have been advanced to explain the Mona Lisa's strange power to enchant? What are some of the more poetic responses to her that Scotti includes in her narrative?
8. "If Mona Lisa is not the most beautiful, fashionable, or glamorous woman," Scotti writes, "She is the most beguiling. . . . She touches without words, offering not a kiss or a caress but the anticipation. . . . If we try to look away, she follows us and will not let go" [p. 129-130]. What is it that makes the painting so "beguiling"?
9. Scotti writes that "To Renaissance artists, Mona Lisa represented an extraordinary technical achievement. To the Romantics she posed a tantalizing psychological puzzle" [p. 67]. What might account for this dramatic change in how the Mona Lisa was viewed? Which is the more remarkable aspect of the painting, its technical mastery or its psychological depth?
10. Does Karl Decker's story of how and why the Mona Lisa was stolen seem plausible? If not, what would motivate him to concoct such a story?
11. Why was the story of Mona Lisa's theft such an international sensation? Why did it capture headlines around the world for so long?
12. What surprising aspects of Picasso's character and aesthetic vision emerge from Vanished Smile?
13. Scotti writes that Mona Lisa is "both disconcertingly real and transcendent" [p. 127]. What other dichotomies does the painting seem to embody or reflect?
14. Near the end of the book, Scotti asks, "If Peruggia was not the lone thief and the marqués and his expert forger were fictions, the mystery remains: Who masterminded the theft and, even more puzzling, why?" [p. 212]. What are some possible answers to this intriguing question?

Tuesday 31 Mar 2015
By Christine J. Vincent. Web onlyPublished online: 25 September 2012
The announcement by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts that it has sealed a deal with Christie's to liquidate its remaining art holdings of reportedly 20,000 works has left many people scratching their heads. The foundation bearing the name of one of the most influential artist of our times intends to own none of his art? Always the most visible member in this small but fast-growing community, the Warhol Foundation has just demonstrated that artist-endowed foundations are not all alike and that it is, as always, among the most distinctive. Indeed, research by The Aspen Institute's National Study of Artist-Endowed Foundations, the first comprehensive examination of the topic, confirms that we presume one-size-fits-all for these entities at the risk of misunderstanding this important, emerging field.
In some respects, artist-endowed foundations fit uneasily within the regulatory framework for private foundations stipulated by US tax law. Their most substantial assets—works of art—can embody significant economic value yet be profoundly illiquid and at the mercy of cyclical markets. That's not a particularly comfortable match with the most common form of private foundation, one in which the value of assets is subject to a mandatory, 5% payout requirement to be expended annually on charitable activities, typically grants and associated administrative costs. Yet this was precisely the form chosen for the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts in 1988 when it sought recognition of its tax-exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. Other choices have been similarly notable. Unlike many artist-endowed foundations, the Warhol Foundation's intention from its inception has been to fully liquidate art assets in order to build a financial endowment and fund grants. Yes, its art holdings have been exhibited, documented, and conserved, all with scholarly care, as well as selectively contributed to museums. But at heart their primary purpose is as investment assets, committed to supporting the foundation's charitable purpose—to advance the visual arts—which it pursues by making grants to organisations. Likewise, the substantial expense to care for the foundation's art assets—insurance, storage, conservation, collection management, and the like—is reported on its tax returns as an investment expense, not a charitable administrative expense attributable to fulfilling the payout requirement.What does this mean? The Warhol Foundation, like many purely financially endowed foundations, is designed to meet its annual payout requirement exclusively with the value of its grants and the associated cost to administer its grant programme. The foundation's 2011 tax return reported disbursements for charitable purposes including $13.5m in cash grants and $2.6m in charitable administrative expenses, not including legal fees. This is slightly more than five percent of the $312m in assets subject to the payout requirement, including art assets with an adjusted value of $104m. Over the past six years, the foundation's assets subject to payout have grown from $250m and cash grants have increased from $8m, in good part owing to art sales.Many artist-endowed foundations, typically endowed with less numerous works of art than the Warhol Foundation as well as with much narrower markets, use a different private foundation form. In this alternative, works of art are not treated as investment assets but rather as charitable purpose assets—those used in conducting activities such as exhibition programmes, scholarly research and publication initiatives, study centres, and the like. This form does not subject the value of art assets to the payout requirement, but it does mean that they actually must be used in educational and cultural programmes conducted by the foundation. That in itself represents an expense, but one attributable to the payout requirement. In choosing this form, foundations commit to maintaining an exhibition or study collection, even as they selectively and periodically sell art in order to endow programmes and support charitable activities, in many cases including grant-making. For its part, the Warhol Foundation, as the beneficiary of an estate that included the artist's works in unprecedented number—some 95,000 pieces, clearly surmised a need to take a different approach. It did so by establishing a completely separate, single-artist museum, which it endowed with the artist's archive and an inaugural collection of almost 4,000 of his works, reportedly representing one-third of the financial value of its art assets at the time. Accounts of the Andy Warhol Museum's genesis cite debates within the foundation as to whether or not these works of art, capable of contributing significant heft to the endowment and its grant-making capacity, should be relinquished to the museum. In hindsight, however, the decision can be seen for the astute choice that it was. That decision produced an internationally recognised cultural institution dedicated to Andy Warhol's oeuvre, enabling the foundation to secure his artistic legacy in a broadly accessible, public collection. It established a mechanism that continues to help develop the public's interest in the artist, a factor not unrelated to the strong market for his works. Its independent status, moreover, means that the great majority of the museum's $3m annual budget, to which the foundation contributes annual assistance as well as special project support, is born by an array of donors rather than absorbing a major portion of the foundation's grant budget. Lastly, with the museum stewarding a definitive collection of the artist's works—fostering scholarship, supporting curatorial initiatives, issuing publications, lending to museums, and partnering in exhibition collaborations—the foundation has been free to pursue its art sales straight away, uninhibited by an obligation to trim sales in order to preserve the integrity of an exhibition or study collection. And that has enabled grant-making of a scope necessary to achieve a significant, generative impact in the visual arts on a national scale. The Warhol Foundation today is unsurpassed as a source sustaining the vital ecosystem of artist-centred organisations found in communities throughout the US. It is unmatched as a donor stimulating curatorial innovation in museums serving audiences on campuses and town centres in all corners of this country. By underwriting core costs for a new model of assistance to individual artists, Creative Capital Foundation, it is attracting a growing cadre of new funders eager to see their support go directly to this important cause. Most recently, it unveiled a fresh strategy working with regional partners to flow its funds to artists at the most grassroots level, breaking down the barrier presented by the usual requirement that grantees have a formal corporate structure. There is no other foundation in the US today, artist-endowed or otherwise, working at this scale in these ways.Taking a second look at the news, one can see that the significance of the foundation's recent announcement is not that it is charting a new course. Rather, the news is that it has stayed true to its founder's intentions and is fulfilling its fiduciary responsibility to optimise assets in support of its charitable purpose. Assuming the new sales strategies open new markets worldwide, a reasonable bet given the proven appetite for Warhol's works to date, the decision to complete liquidation of its art holdings, even as selective donations are made to museums, will boost the foundation's financial assets and free up funds used currently to care for works of art. This will translate to an enhanced charitable reach, completing the long-term transformation of a unique bequest into a reliable philanthropic capacity. Artist-endowed foundations are a bright spot in the flagging cultural philanthropy field in the US. The Warhol Foundation, ever distinctive, as was the artist and as is his global market, continues to be a key force bolstering that field, even though its model is not one that foundations with narrower markets are likely to use. And while it no longer plans to own Andy Warhol's works, it clearly intends to honour its donor's intentions and secure his philanthropic legacy—a prinicple to which all foundations aspire.The writer is the former deputy director for media, arts and culture at the Ford Foundation and is the Study Director of The Aspen Institute's National Study of Artist-Endowed Foundations. This article draws on research featured in The Artist as Philanthropist: Strengthening the Next Generation of Artist-Endowed Foundations.

Huge mistake. The end has started for them. Which is more financially prudent? - an original, certifided Warhol at 15% a year or 25 million in a mutual fund making 2.2%. On a GOOD year. Or .061% in 2011? Financial consultants can charge a % for each transaction, but get 0% on a painting just sitting there. Wall Street got the ear of someone on the foundation and now watch it all crumble down. Sad.

Earthquake in Haiti - January 2010
On 12 January 2010, a powerful 7.0 earthquake devastated Haiti—causing massive loss of life, catastrophic building damage, and unimaginable human suffering. The Government of Haiti estimates 220,000 people lost their lives and over 300,000 people were injured. The earthquake crippled Haiti's infrastructure, as key buildings, such as the Presidential Palace, the Parliament, the Ministry of Health (MSPP), and other government ministries collapsed. Eight hospitals were totally destroyed and 22 seriously damaged in the three regions most affected by the Earthquake (Ouest, Nippes, Sud-Est).

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful invitations
The invitations were beautiful, high quality, and good value for the cost. They were delivered quickly in a very nice package. I was very pleased with the product and service and would order again from MagnetStreet.
Beautiful Results with Easy Personalization!
I had to make a fairly complex RSVP card, as we are having a destination wedding with several pre-wedding festivities. For someone without design experience, MagnetStreet made it so easy to customize. Additionally, the proof process was quick and easy. Highly recommend and would use again.
Wonderful quality
Wonderful quality and best prices I found after much searching. The design process took a bit of getting used to but all worked out beautifully in the end.
Wonderful invites!
Great invites- I love them!!! The website can be a little frustrating to use, but when I did call once, they were super helpful!
Terrific Winter Wedding Option!
We are having a winter wedding, and while there are a lot of decoration ideas, I ran into a problem finding an invitation we liked. Most companies only offer 1 or 2 winter designs and they are glittery and primarily snowflakes. We wanted something a little more sophisticated in design. I loved Magnet Street the second I saw all of their categories and themes. This invitation ended up perfect for us because we're getting married at Bear Mountain State Park. The quiet winter mountain theme works beautifully. My fiance is a web developer and graphic designer. We had planned on him making the stationary for the wedding because of our high standards. However, we ended up renovating and selling our house with a cross country move, so that was no longer an option. These totally met both of our expectations as the next best option of him designing our own. I love that you are able to personalize and customize every aspect of the invitation. Other companies I had looked at were not as generous. You might be able to choose from 1 or 2 color options, or change a font, but these we were able to tweak and make our very own. We went back and forth with the design team, who were great and helpful the whole way. I was so scared of annoying them with our many edits, but in the end I am so happy with what we received. The proofs come in high resolution, but in real life they look even better. It's really great quality paper and the ink and designs are flawless and very professional looking. I'm so happy I really took the time to be picky about my invitations, otherwise I would have never found Magnet Street or personalized them to be just for our wedding and our day.

create an image with the dimmensions of your canvas using Image.createImage(width,height)
save its Graphics object using Image.getGraphics();
call your canvas Paint method with the image Graphics object.
now you have a copy image of the canvas screen, now all you need is to save it as an image to the file system.
You can save it as bitmap (which is the easiest since your saving each pixel data and there is no compression of any kind so just traversing over the Image RGB array)
or you can save it as a PNG or JPG which means you will need to "encode" the image RGB data (which you obtain using Image.getRGB(...)) you can right your own or google for such (here is a png encoder that is good for j2me http://www.chrfr.de/software/midp_png.html i've tested it and it works)
I have already tested that and it also saves the image in png format to my memory card but the problem is that the image cannot be opened.
I suppose you are then saving it wrongly. So do check what was said on saving the image., Also you need to set the extension right, since who ever opens the image, likely will not use any data recognistion for opening it, and simply relies on the extension to match the actual data inside the image file.
subha095: i can guarantee that it does work because i have used it in the past, infact you can check out my app Snowman Builder http://store.ovi.com/content/357751 that saves the image you create on the screen to the phone file system and it uses the same (with some extra stuff i've put it to make the PNG compressed)
If you liked the app dont forget to give it a nice 5 star rating and if you need extra help i'm here.
About your previous message after converting the image into int[] if I save the image with .png extention will i work. And the png.java file's link you gave has a command toPNG() which my compiler cant recognize.
Last edited by subha095; 2013-08-26 at 01:29.
Sorry but i couldnt understand your message, can you please try and explain again what isnt working for you with the link i gave you and perhaps also attached your source code of your implementation of this.
The link which was given to me has toPNG() command which my compiles doesnt understand.. Now what to do.
why does your compiler doesnt "understand that command"?
toPng() needs 6 parameters
width of the png
height of the png
a byte[] of alpha channel
a byte[] of red channel
a byte[] of green channel
a byte[] of blue channel
have you include the png.java in your source code folder?
have you added the proper import in your code to use PNG class?
what is the error you are getting?
As i've said before its working fine for me, if you want better help please attach more details such as your source code of your implementation, screenshots of errors your getting, etc.
I cant compile code due to this command.. Maybe any import part is wrong. I have import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
There is no problem with the toPNG command i just tested it again on a test project.
Did you make sure to change the package decleration of the PNG class or place it in its default gfx package?
If you want further help then i say again please attach more details such as your source code of your implementation, screenshots of errors your getting, etc.

Tuning Fork with Acoustics
Model ID: 15683
Acoustic-Structural Interaction in a Tuning Fork
This model simulates a tuning fork for tuning musical instruments which, if correctly designed, should sound the note of A, 440 Hz. First an eigenfrequency analysis is performed on this structure to ensure its fundamental frequency is exactly 440 Hz. Then the interaction between the structural vibrations in the tuning fork and the acoustic waves produced in the surrounding air is simulated to calculate the sound pressure level (SPL) of the sound produced as the tuning fork vibrates at frequencies near this fundamental resonance point.
This model is an extension of the existing Tuning Fork model (DB 8499) now including the surrounding air domain.
This model was built using the following:

Geometry Worksheets and Printables
Geometry worksheets guide your child through the mathematical world of polygons, trapezoids, and obtuse angles! These geometry worksheets cover a wide range of difficulty levels and subjects, to suit any student. There are basic geometry worksheets for kindergarteners that focus on shape names, as well as advanced geometry worksheets for highschoolers that feature coordinate grid graphing and volume. Each geometry worksheet has clear instructions and illustrations to make the learning process easier for your student. Try these geometry worksheets with your child.
Quick Geometry Links
Geometry by Ages and Grades
Geometry worksheets are great learning tools for kids in preschool through high school! Students at different ages learn geometry in different ways. Here are some of the different ways that kids learn geometry by grade:
- Young children and students in early elementary school grades learn about shapes by sight and name only. Kids up to first grade will be able to name the shape, but not explain what makes it a circle. Kids at this level will benefit from basic geometry worksheets that ask them to identify a pictured shape.
- Students in second grade through the end of elementary school are able to talk about what characteristics make a geometric shape. They'll be able to tell you that a square has four equal sides and angles. Children in these grades will learn best with geometry worksheets in which kids rotate shapes, identify more complex polygons such as hexagons, and use tangrams.
- Middle schoolers are able to see the relationship between shapes using angle measurements and more. Print out geometry worksheets with measurement and graphing exercises for kids in sixth through eighth grade.
- High schoolers will begin working on creating geometric proofs to define different shapes, figures, and angles. Try geometry proofs worksheets with your high schooler.

Large Hadron Collider Safety
Information about LHC safety can be found at the following Web pages and sites.
Addressing the safety of LHC collisions:
- CERN's Safety at the LHC page.
- Review of the Safety of LHC Collisions: Non-technical summary (pdf) or full report (pdf). This report by the LHC Safety Assessment Group addresses the question of whether there is any danger related to the production of new particles at the LHC. This report is an update of a 2003 paper (linked below), incorporating recent experimental and observational data. It confirms and strengthens the conclusion of the 2003 report that there is no cause for concern.
- Report of the Scientific Policy Committee on the 2008 Review of the Safety of LHC Collisions (pdf). The SPC, which advises the CERN Council on scientific matters, reviewed and approved the LHC Safety Assessment Group's report from 2008.
- Study of Potentially Dangerous Events During Heavy-Ion Collisions at the LHC: Report of the LHC Safety Study Group (pdf). This report, published by CERN in 2003, reviews the possibility of producing dangerous objects during heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, including negatively charged strangelets, gravitational black holes and magnetic monopoles. The conclusion of the report is that there is no bases for any conceivable threat.
- CERN's Ask an Expert: Are LHC collisions dangerous?
Addressing the safety of collisions at other particle colliders:
- Review of Speculative "Disaster Scenarios" at RHIC (pdf). This report, published by Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1999, reviews potentially catastrophic processes that might be initiated by collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a particle collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory that has been in operation since 2000. The conclusion of the report is that the candidate mechanisms for catastrophe scenarios at RHIC are firmly excluded by existing empirical evidence, compelling theoretical arguments, or both.
Addressing the safety of the LHC machine:
- CERN and the environment - Includes question-and-answer page about radiation at CERN.
- "Protecting the LHC from itself" - This article published in symmetry's December 2007 issue discusses the LHC's machine protection systems and includes a sidebar about LHC radiation safety.
- CERN's Ask an Expert: What happens if the beam becomes unstable?

A new school year means new challenges, but packing your children's lunch boxes needn't be one of them. Use these tips to create healthy, kid-friendly lunches.
Be smart about food safety. Stave off food-borne illness with a few common sense precautions:
To create nutrient-packed lunches, remember to cover the basics:
If sandwiches are losing their appeal, try a twist to deliver the same great nutrition:
Brighten your child's day by writing a note and stashing it the lunch box. Or go all out and use a small amount of food coloring to "stamp" your child's sandwich with a secret code or symbol.
I've got you started. Now I'm going to call on you. What do you do to ensure that lunch boxes come home empty — and not because the healthy food you packed got thrown away?
Here's to a great school year,
Jennifer K. Nelson, R.D., L.D.
Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.

PLEASE don't recommend using food dyes for ANYTHING!!! Too many people, and especially children, are allergic to food dyes. They serve no useful purpose. Prevent a child from having a severe reaction. Thank you!!!
I love to give our preschool boys healthy & fun snacks. One of their favourites is plain rice cakes with almond butter on top... and a box of raisins they can 'decorate' it with!
Fun & delishious, can't go wrong w that!
its good to preheat all items that need to be heated
Please keep in mind the length of time a child has to eat lunch. Some times healthy food takes longer to chew so less can be eaten before the bell rings. Which makes for hungry kids after school.
That was a very interesting artical. I only read it cause I had to for school, I'll be sure to keep all this in mind when I have kids.
well when i have kids ill make sure to come and read this again and follow these steps to make my kid healthier.
Jen, not all food colouring is artificial..........I use natural colourings in some of my childrens treats to add extra pazazz as well. I find my son loves sushi rolls. A bit of shredded chicken or tuna and a dollop of fruit chutney with cucumber and rice makes delicious sushi rolls. Really easy to eat. A little eye-dropper of soy sauce wrapped in cling wrap gets him quite excited. I also go into overdrive with a melon baller. Pear balls are a big hit!
Food coloring stamps?! Many countries are banning artificial coloring from foods. It has been linked to ADHD-type behavior. I don't know why it is special to have foods that are not color nature intended them to be. Please find another way to brighten your child's day. Draw thema special picture to include in the lunch - one they won't eat. Write them a note. Include a joke or a family secret saying. Don't give them unnecessary artificial dye. My children are much more willing to eat a lunch that they help pack.
I have found that for our three children, letting them shop for the items that go into the lunches helps them feel independent. I set a guideline of what the options may be and they go from there. That way we know our children are eating well, but the kids also have the final say. We also allow one free treat item, two small cookies or a brownie, something like that.
