Art Center of Corpus Christi showcases 'An Odyssey in Glass'
CORPUS CHRISTI - In 2011 Rebecca Romanek Johnson won the Dimensions XXXIX "Best of Show" award at the Art Center of Corpus Christi. Due to this honor, she was given a one-person show in the Kucera Gallery, which she entitled "An Odyssey in Glass." This colorful display of abstraction and textures is on display through Oct. 28.
After working in advertising and being hired and fired many times, Johnson decided she wanted to be a painter. She painted for a while. She also tried stone carving and many other media. After seeing an 85-year-old woman welding she decided she wanted to do that too. Then she fell in love with glass.
Johnson has combined all that experience in her art. Fused glass seems for her, to be the most inspiring, difficult and mystic.
"It lets me be spontaneous and responsive, providing an intimacy with the concept as it translates from mind, to hand, to glass, and then to heat. I listen to the material and evolve the art as it progresses," Johnson said.
Her colorful textured glass and metal creations, which are inspired by the environment around her have a painterly quality. Johnson assembles sheet glass, powders, frits and stringers in complex compositions that are layered and fired in a glass kiln several times. Sometimes she even uses a bottomless kiln in which she pulls molten glass from the bottom of the kiln. Johnson varies temperatures in the kiln and uses innovative casting techniques to create a variety of textures and patterns on the surface of the glass as well as inside the glass itself. The implied and actual textures work together to create a distinctive style, which delights the eye. She deconstructs her subject matter and reconstructs it so that each piece has an abstract quality, but it still communicates the concept to the viewer. Her works have metal bases that she has welded, sawed, filed and patinated.
Her glass has a feeling of movement. For instance, "Star Bright, Lone Star Night" is a large wall piece that was inspired by a scene she saw while dining at Doc's Seafood & Steaks on Padre Island. The work depicts the busy night sky with stars and the dark moving reflective water.
New to Corpus Christi, Johnson uses nature and the industry in South Texas for inspiration. The bay, vegetation, and the refineries are all subject matter for her creations. Johnson lived in Dallas for 27 years and established the Rosewood School of Glass at the Creative Arts Center of Dallas. She taught fused glass there for more than 5 years before her move to Corpus Christi.

"An Odyssey in Glass" runs concurrent with the "2012 Juried Dimension Exhibition" and the Carroll High School exhibit, "Breast Cancer Awareness."

German, Polish leaders honor Holocaust victims
Political prisoners, Poles, gays and lesbians, Jehovah's Witnesses and Soviet prisoners of war were also killed en masse by the Nazis, along with nearly 6 million Jews.
"To label people as unworthy and order their destruction and, finally, to systematically murder millions in an industrialized fashion - that is unique in human history," Lammert said. "The memory of those events and aberrations obliges us to respect all people equally ... and to confront violations of human rights in Germany and everywhere else in the world."
Separate ceremonies were held elsewhere in Germany, including at the Buchenwald concentration camp, where elderly survivors gathered, and at a new memorial in the former factory of the company that made the crematoria ovens for Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Also Thursday, Turkey held its first official commemorations on international Holocaust remembrance day. Istanbul's governor and other officials joined members of Turkey's Jewish community to remember the victims of Nazi death camps.
"We share a 500-year history of peace with our Jewish citizens," Istanbul Gov. Huseyin Avni Mutlu told the NTV news channel after the service. We wanted to share their pain and suffering."
Nazi Germany opened Auschwitz as a concentration camp in the summer of 1940 after it invaded and occupied Poland, and its first prisoners were Poles. Because of its location in the heart of Europe, Germany soon turned it into a center for implementing the "Final Solution," the plan to kill Europe's Jews.
By the time of its liberation, at least 1.1 million people had died in the gas chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau or from starvation, disease and forced labor.

I played the older version of the blx 6.1 95 16x18 for a year and liked it. I switched to a volkl o10 295 customized to 12.1 oz, 6 hl, and 335 SW. The volkl o10 plays similar to the wilson with maybe a bit more solid feel, lighter and softer. I recommend you try the o10 325 or 010 295 customized if you like the classic wilson crisp feel. I have demo-ed many rackets in last 24 months and the volkl o10 line is cream of the crop for me - solid feel and very comfortable, precise with plenty of power.
I have demo-ed the blx ps 6.1 95 twice and it is a very good racket too but needs 6-10 grams in the head to increase SW and stability and possibly handle weight to offset added head weight. But, it does have a nice muted solid feel - strangely, it plays more solid than many others I have demo-ed and it has a very thin beam and low flex rating. This could be a great racket if you tweak it a bit and can handle the weight after tweaking. But, it is still not as solid as the volkl o10 line.

"This show is like therapy. You can feel confused and angry when you walk in, but you leave with a better idea of how much you've got to live for."
Olivia Puckett is talking about American Idiot, the punk rock musical from Green Day that startled Broadway in 2014. It was described as a "Punk Temper Tantrum" by the New York Times. Other folks called it a Broadway firebomb.
"It was definitely a revolution," Puckett says. "It took musical theatre in a whole new direction, just like Hair did back in the 1960s. It's a punk rock, high intensity, high energy show. What can I say?"

Green Day's Foxboro Hot Tubs side project, Cee Lo Green and Blondie will be partying with Rachael Ray at the syndicated TV hosts's seventh annual Feedback party during this year's South By Southwest Music Conference & Festival in Austin, Texas.
The free and open to the public daytime bash on March 15 at Stubb's BBQ -- one of SXSW's most anticipated events each year -- will feature 14 acts on three stages, with Foxboro Hot Tubs playing the venue's tiny indoor room at the band's behest.
It was one of those right place, right time situations. Chris Dugan and his partner, Willie Samuels, had been recording local punk, metal and assorted bands for a couple of years at their Nu-Tone Studio in Pittsburg, Calif. (east of Berkeley/Oakland), when their paths crossed that of the best-known rocker in the area—Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day. Armstrong had (and still has) his own record label, Adeline Records, and in 1999 he tapped Dugan to come to his home studio to record a few songs for a band he was producing, The Criminals. The resulting album, Burning Flesh and Broken Fingers,
As the sun went down behind the Showground stands at Sydney's Olympic Park, Soundwave headliners Green Day took to the stage. This was the band that most in the crowd had come to see. Finally, the main event had arrived!
The boys kicked things off with '99 Revolutions' before launching into 'Know Your Enemy.' The opening part of the show was frenetic. However, they did slow things down with 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' and 'Wake Me Up When September Ends.' Old favourites 'Longview' and 'When I Come Around' got things going again and had the crowd jumping up and down like it was 1994.

Reprinting these classic tales from the beginning of Jay's career, we learn how the inhalation of hard water fumes results in his ability to move faster than the speed of sound.

05 November 2013 23:28 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--CF Industries (CF) described its decision to sell its the phosphate business to Mosaic as beneficial situation for the company and as strategy it has been considering for several years, the US fertilizer producer said on Tuesday.
Speaking during a Q3 earnings conference call, Illinois-based CF said the opportunity to combine the sale with a long-term ammonia supply contract was appealing to the company.
Last week, Mosaic and CF agreed on a deal for the phosphate business for $1.2bn (€888m) in cash plus $200m to fund CF's asset retirement obligation escrow. The deal included the phosphate mine and plant in Hardee County, Florida, as well as an ammonia terminal and product warehouse in Tampa.
"Mosaic is the logical buyer of our phosphate business and we are pleased that they will become a major customer. This is a clear win-win as evidenced by the market's reaction last week," said Stephen Wilson, CF CEO.
"This is a terrific deal for us, and we think it's a very good deal for Mosaic. It provides us with returns that are roughly in line with the returns that we expect in the Donaldsonville expansion project. It takes some amount of uncertainty out of those returns. And we're very, very happy with that agreement. And we're happy to have Mosaic become our largest ammonia customer."
Wilson said while the agreement meant canceling the company's plans to expand in Louisiana, it fits in with the sentiment that not all of the recently announced North American fertilizer expansions were going to become a reality. He said the company remains quite comfortable with its current expansion plans as CF foresees the market for US produced fertilizers to still be robust.
"I think it's sort of going as one might have expected. Some projects, notably ours and the Orascom projects are in, I guess, in full force going forward under construction. Other projects that have been announced either have not materialised, or in some cases, have been cancelled. And it doesn't surprise me that we have new announcements because if you look at the strip for North American natural gas, it is quite attractive," Wilson said.

Ginsberg explores how a person is changed by a heart transplant
Q: What do you think the main differences are between the friendships of women and the friendships of men?
A: Well, I'll give you an example from my own life that I think illustrates it pretty well. Recently, the male friend (let's call him Mr. X) of a man I know (let's call him Mr. Y) broke his arm and had it in a full cast. After a long chat with Mr. X, Mr. Y tells me, "The poor guy — he's in that big cast and he has to move this weekend. Really rough."
So I said, "I know — awful. How did Mr. X break his arm?"
Mr. Y shrugged and said, "I don't know, I didn't ask him."
"What?" I said. "Why wouldn't you ask him? Why wouldn't that be the first thing you asked him?"
"Didn't come up," Mr. Y said. "Why does it matter? Why do you have to make everything so complicated?"
If this had been two women? Totally different story.
Q: I couldn't help but notice that the prologue involves someone driving a car in the rain with broken windshield wipers on winding Del Dios Highway. You don't drive — did that scene come to you in a nightmare or something?
A: It's true — I don't drive, but I've spent plenty of time in cars (it's unavoidable in Southern California) that other people are driving. Which makes me, in a sense, something of a professional passenger. As such, I've been on Del Dios Highway many times; and a few of those times in the rain. It's beautiful — and also terrifying. Especially as a passenger. It's funny that you bring this up, actually, because that scene was the very first I wrote — it was the dominant image of the novel for me.
Q: If I've done the math right, this is your fourth novel and your seventh book. What was different for you this time?
A: The main difference between this book and the others was that I wrote this one much faster than I usually do. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to work on the novel for several months after I'd written the first 80 pages or so. I have a certain rhythm with my novels; I write slowly at first, then pick up speed as I really get to know the characters and their world, and finally write the last bit fairly rapidly. But even though I spend a few months writing at a snail's pace, I'm working on it and thinking about it all the time. This time I did not have that luxury; almost all of the novel was written over the course of seven long, hot weeks last summer.
Q: In what ways is it getting easier, and in what ways is it getting harder?
A: It doesn't really get easier, though some of it becomes more familiar each time. By the same token, I'm not sure that the writing part gets harder. The book business, however, is another story.

Critical Essay by Antony Easthope
One way in which a play holds the attention of an audience for the duration of its performance is by presenting an action which may be formulated as a question: Who killed Laius? How will Hamlet revenge his father? Endgame has a plot at least to the extent that it holds its audience with an uncertainty, one which is continuously reiterated from the stage: Will Clov leave Hamm? At the end, when the final tableau shows Clov standing there, with umbrella, raincoat, and bag, unable to stay and unable to go, the question remains unresolved. Nevertheless, any discussion of Endgame, including one which proposes to consider the play's dramatic method, should begin with this question, or rather with the relationship between Hamm and Clov from which it arises. And since Clov is for the most part a passive victim, a pawn dominated by Hamm's active mastery, it is with Hamm that we should start.
In order to get even as far as the play will let us towards understanding why Hamm keeps Clov (assuming that he could in fact let him go), we must try to see what Hamm is like. He is like a king, with Clov as his servant, for he refers to "my house," "my service," and even, echoing Shakespeare's Richard III, to "my kingdom." On one occasion he uses the royal plural to Clov, "You can't leave us." In a former time he had real power, or so he claims, when Clov, as he reminds him, "inspected my paupers." Now his realm has shrunk almost to nothing and he is left with Clov, Nagg, and Nell as his courtiers. His relationship with Clov is like that between Pozzo and Lucky in Godot, and its quality is well conveyed by Lionel Abel's suggestion that it is an analogue of the relationship between the young Beckett and the old, blind, Joyce. Hamm treats Nagg and Nell as further objects for gratuitous affliction—"Bottle him!" Hamm seems to be a tyrant, who lives to enjoy the exercise of his power over others. But it is at this point that the difficulties begin, for to say that Hamm enjoys exercising power is to attribute a familiar form of psychological motivation to him—and it is hard to be sure he has the capacity for this. Together with its many other connotations, Hamm is the name for an actor, for one who creates an identity which has only an imaginary existence. And the tone of what Hamm says is frequently consistent with that of an assumed identity, one deliberately acted out. So he deals with the requests of his servants:
CLOV. He wants a sugar-plum.
HAMM. He'll get a sugar-plum.
Hamm's reply is such a fulsome expression of largesse and arrogant condescension that it seems merely a verbal gesture. Nagg does not get his sugarplum, but what we might take to be Hamm's intentional malice cannot properly be distinguished from a pretence of high-handed magnificence which is part of the role he plays. Hamm orders Clov to screw down the lids of the ashbins on Nagg and Nell, and then comments on himself, "My anger subsides, I'd like to pee." It is this continuous self-consciousness in Hamm's words and tone of voice which inhibits us from ascribing his cruelty to an impulse beyond the need for rhetorical coherence in the role he plays.
Hamm appears to suffer, but with this there is the same doubt as with his cruelty. While introducing himself, Hamm proclaims his agony:
Can there be misery—(He yawns)—loftier than mine? No doubt. Formerly. But now?
His expression of "loftier misery" is laden with echoes of Oedipus the King and of Christ as presented in Herbert's poem, "The Sacrifice," with the famous refrain, "Was ever grief like to mine?" The salt of genuine affliction dissolves among these overtones into a self-conscious rhetoric, a heavy irony directed at the very possibility of real suffering. Hamm takes the magnitude of his "misery" as guarantee for the importance of his role. On several occasions in the play introspection leads him to talk as though he were suffering, but each time his words become a performance. When Hamm speaks of a heart dripping in his head, he is exposed immediately to the ridicule of Nagg and Nell, who react to his unhappiness as a fiction, "it's like the funny story we have heard too often." Later Hamm tells Clov that he too will go blind one day and find himself alone in "infinite emptiness"—but this again may be seen as an act, a set speech which the stage directions mark as to be performed "With prophetic relish." Beckett has written of Endgame that it is "more inhuman than Godot" and Hamm's cruelty earns the play this adjective. But it may be understood in a double sense. In so far as Hamm is felt as a real character, then he is inhuman in the sense we use the word of a man whose actions are so extreme that they seem to place him beyond the pale of humanity. His boundless cynicism may be seen as a desperate attempt to anticipate the cruelty of a universe which is indifferent to his wishes, and his expressions of suffering may be symptoms of genuine agony. Thus, in his hatred of "life," Hamm becomes like King Lear, who, when stripped of all he values, can only cry, "Then kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill." To describe Hamm's putative character in such melodramatic language is an appropriate response to the play, for all this may be no more than an aspect of his deliberate playacting. Hamm may in fact be inhuman only in the strict sense of being not human, if the fiction of his role is so perfectly sustained that it excludes any capacity for genuine motive and what we take to be real humanity. Such perhaps is the implication of Hamm's admission to Clov, "I was never there," though this depends upon the stress an actor gives to the personal pronoun. So a full account of Hamm must comprehend both the surface fiction of his role and the psychological depths suggested beneath it. And the main event in Endgame, Hamm's story, manifests this ambiguity or doubleness with a clarity which must be considered in detail.
Hamm's story may be seen as a fictional extension of his role, demonstrating clearly how conscious he is of the part he plays. He fancies himself as a great lord, a Pharaoh or a Czar. A father comes to him, begging some corn for a starving child. With enormous complacency the master waits for the end of the plea, for the most dramatic moment, before giving his crushing reply:
Use your head, can't you, use your head, you're on earth, there's no cure for that!
This fantasy account of the exercise of power seems no more than a perfect opportunity for Hamm to practise his histrionic talents. Yet there are many suggestions in the telling of the story which imply that Hamm is seriously involved and that his fiction reflects real anxiety and suffering. For, latent beneath the surface of his chronicle, a tenuous connection of metaphors and phrases repeated in different contexts renders Hamm's relationship with Clov as the hidden subject of his story.
Throughout the play Clov is likened to a dog. He refers to his birth as being "whelped"; he comes to Hamm when he whistles, and the master wears a whistle round his neck for this purpose. Great play is made with a stage prop, a stuffed dog, and once Clov hands this to Hamm with the revealing plural, "Your dogs are here." Clov stands continually, he cannot sit, and Hamm is concerned that the stuffed animal should be able to stand. Like Clov, the dog cannot leave, "He's not a real dog, he can't go." But, as we discover, the function of the toy dog for Hamm is to enlarge his role, bolstering his grandeur by standing there imploring him, "as if he were begging … for a bone." Through the figures of dog and beggar, Hamm's relationship to Clov becomes transposed into his story. So also with the reference to a child. Clov is Hamm's child, or at least, Hamm "was a father" to him. Hamm tells Clov he will give him just enough to keep him from dying, so that, like the starving boy in the story, Clov will be "hungry all the time." At the end, when Clov says he sees a small boy approaching, Hamm tells him he will need him no longer, implying that the small boy will take Clov's place. Thus Hamm's violent pronouncement to the beggar and his child is felt as though spoken to Clov. Twice elsewhere in the play Hamm says "Use your head," on both occasions while addressing Clov.
It may be that Hamm keeps coming back to his story simply in the interest of art. For the raconteur practice makes perfect, and Hamm appears to think his only concern with the anecdote is to polish its phrasing—"Technique, you know." But it is hard not to respond to the way he returns again and again to his story as symptomatic of a genuine obsession with it. If this is so, it is consistent with the character suggested behind Hamm's role. The telling of the story looks like a guilty attempt by Hamm to convince himself that nihilism justifies hardness of heart, "you're on earth, there's no cure for that!" Guilt would result if Hamm feared that his cynicism were merely a rationalization for a cruel impulse prior to it, and Clov awakens exactly this fear later in the play, the effect being to drive Hamm almost into silence:
CLOV. (Harshly) When old Mother Pegg asked you for oil for her lamp and you told her to get out to hell, you knew what was happening then, no? (Pause) You know what she died of, Mother Pegg? Of darkness.
HAMM. (Feebly) I hadn't any.
CLOV. (As before) Yes, you had.
That Hamm's story disturbs him at a level which he cannot—or will not—recognize is implied by what follows it in the rest of the play. Immediately after Hamm's story the famous prayer to God takes place. Perhaps this is another facet of Hamm's role, another fiction, since it is prefaced by his remark that he may need "other characters." Or again, it may be a symptom of remorse and an authentic quest for grace, particularly if Hamm has remembered the biblical parable echoed in his story, that of Dives and Lazarus, and thought of the appalling punishment meted out to the cruel master at the end of that. Earlier Hamm had made a jocular reference to Clov's kissing him goodbye before leaving; after the story the motif recurs, but this time Hamm's phrasing sounds personally insistent:
HAMM. Kiss me. (Pause) Will you not kiss me?
Is this another patronising demand for homage, dictated by the master's role? Or are we to detect in it a lurking desire for forgiveness? All through the play Hamm has nagged Clov for his painkiller; on the single occasion he repeats his request after the story, he is answered in the affirmative, and then told by Clov, "There's no more painkiller." Hamm's reaction to this seems to be the hysteria of uncontrollable agony:
HAMM. (Soft) What'll I do? (Pause. In a scream.) What'll I do?
Yet the violence of this disappears in his next words to Clov, "What are you doing?" Anaphora smooths over the expressive intensity of Hamm's cry, making it seem less a cry of pain and more like a mere ruffle in the verbal surface. At the end of the play Clov's reported sighting of a small boy is followed by Hamm's final soliloquy, which contains a last reference to his story, "If he could have his child with him."
What this argument has tried to show is that Hamm has a double nature, existing both as consciously played role and as real character. His role as king and master seems to be unbroken and self-contained. Any subject to which he directs his attention, even his own suffering, becomes falsified through absorption into conscious rhetoric and turned into the performance of an actor. Yet there is something more about Hamm, which escapes his attention, a network of possibilities, a string of metaphorical connections and repeated phrases, leading beyond the role he knows he is playing. This implies obliquely a psychological reality in him, one which would perhaps evaporate into fiction if Hamm were able to give it explicit articulation. And this ambivalent relationship between surface and depth in the way that Hamm is dramatised is worked out as a structural principle in the whole of Endgame. The depths of the play, its metaphorical and suggestive qualities, have occupied the attention of most critics of the play. Hugh Kenner in his book on Beckett and also Robert Benedetti in a recent article for the Chicago Review have shown how the play is aware of itself as a text performed in a theater. It is sufficient to list the technical theatrical terms used in it in order to remark the rigor with which this effect is created: "farce," "audition," "aside," "soliloquy," "dialogue," "underplot," "exit." The result of these references is that many lines come to sound as comments on the play made from the stage, "This is slow work," and so on. But if Endgame contains a consciousness of itself as a theatrical performance generated according to the conventions of that form, this is only part of the whole. For the verbal surface of the play is pervaded by a deliberate sense of artifice, which never allows an audience to forget they are watching a game played according to certain rules. As Hamm says, "Since that's the way we're playing it … let's play it that way." And a principal effect of the drama derives from the deft manner in which a consciously sustained surface, itself a meaningless exercise in various techniques, is held in tension with the expressive significance of what is suggested beneath it.
One of the most unusual rhetorical techniques which occurs in Endgame is this:
NAGG. I had it yesterday.
NELL. (Elegaic) Ah yesterday! (They turn painfully towards each other)
A little later the same turn is again given to the word "yesterday" in an exchange between Nagg and Nell. A word from the first speaker's sentence is repeated with an exclamation mark in reply. The effect in both these cases is, as the stage directions make clear, to parody sentimental evocation. On another occasion the tone is marked to imply scepticism:
CLOV. (Dismayed) Looks like a small boy!
HAMM. (Sarcastic) A small … boy!
But when it is not discriminated by the directions the tone of the exclamation must combine contempt, scepticism and sadness. The function of the device seems to be to sterilise an emotional gesture by questioning assumptions it contains. Thus it is perfectly placed at a point when the dialogue discusses just such a movement as the turn of phrase enacts:
HAMM. We're not beginning to … to … mean something?
CLOV. Mean something! You and I, mean something! (Brief laugh) That's a good one!
By the end of the play the device has become a cliché, and thus when it is used twice on the mention of a heart as Hamm and Clov exchange goodbyes, the exclamation has been robbed of most of the force it had as an assertive protest:
HAMM. A few words … to ponder … in my heart.
CLOV. Your heart!
Of course what Hamm says may be a sincere plea for kindness from Clov, just as his reply may be taken to express bitter contempt for the way he has been exploited by the master. But it would be a misreading of the play to respond to the emotional significance of the exchanges without recognising that this is entirely subordinated to what is now a stock response, a merely verbal gesture. The rhythm of this rhetorical device is insidious and easily acquired by a good ear; it contributes a great deal to the unique resonance of the play.
The verbal surface of Endgame is aware of itself as being organized in accordance with the conventions governing conversation and stage dialogue, particularly a kind of two person dialogue not unlike that of the old music-hall tradition of the comic and the straight-man. The conversational form admits several kinds of monologue, and these are performed as such. Two anecdotes are available to eke out the entertainment, Hamm's story and Nagg's joke about the Englishman and the tailor. This he is directed to pronounce in a "(Raconteur's voice)." Hamm, as the best talker on the stage, has the largest repertoire of monologues. Besides anecdote he is also capable of the philosophic speculation, "Imagine if a rational being came back to earth …," and, with a sense of tour de force, the prophetic admonition, "One day you'll say to yourself …," which he declaims for Clov. In each case the significant undertones are ignored by the surface, so that even Hamm's frightening account of the madman who saw the beauty of the world as ashes is presented as a formal exercise, it being of course that standby of conversation, the reminiscence:
CLOV. A madman? When was that?
HAMM. Oh way back, way back, you weren't in the land of the living.
The language of Clov's last speech at the end of the play describes with delicate and appalling precision the feelings of a man released after a lifetime of imprisonment:
I open the door of the cell and go. I am so bowed I only see my feet, if I open my eyes, and between my legs a little trail of black dust. I say to myself that the world is extinguished, though I never saw it lit. (Pause) It's easy going. (Pause) When I fall I'll weep for happiness.
Yet the stage directions insist that the evocative power of this language is to be deliberately suppressed: "CLOV (fixed gaze, tonelessly, towards auditorium)." The speech is, as Clov reminds us, the correct theatrical gesture for making an exit. For this, as for the other monologues, including Hamm's self-styled "last soliloquy," the play will accept no responsibility beyond that for applying certain theatrical and conversational conventions.
The dialogue of Endgame is a brilliantly contrived exercise in the art of repartee. Unfortunately, discussion of a single passage, one of the best, will have to stand for analysis of a quality of conscious formal elegance which pervades the whole:
HAMM. Nature has forgotten us.
CLOV. There's no more nature.
HAMM. No more nature! You exaggerate.
CLOV. In the vicinity.
HAMM. But we breathe, we change! We lose our hair, our teeth! Our bloom! Our ideals!
CLOV. Then she hasn't forgotten us.
HAMM. But you say there is none.
CLOV. (Sadly) No one that ever lived ever thought so crooked as we.
HAMM. We do what we can.
CLOV. We shouldn't.
The issue behind this exchange is clear enough—whether Nature and Nature's God have temporarily withdrawn themselves from man or have actually ceased to exist. But serious concern with this question is submerged in this sharp, witty, paradoxical dialogue, often dependent on the interplay of verbal connection and logical nonsequitur, which is of a kind that has fascinated the Irish from Swift to Shaw. Hamm's straight-man assertion provokes Clov's stock response, "There's no more Nature." His denial is categorical in form, an either/or, but Hamm impossibly calls it an exaggeration, at the same time employing a rhetorical exclamation made familiar by the rest of the play. Hamm's response, instead of collapsing the conversation, elicits an equally impossible concession from Clov, "In the vicinity," as though Nature, if it existed, could exist locally but not universally. This Hamm ignores, launching into the vigorous if paradoxical proof that universal decay is evidence for Nature's continued existence. Instead of replying to this in terms consistent with his previous denial, Clov counters wittily by accepting the existence of human decay as evidence of Nature's benevolence, "Then she hasn't forgotten us." Hamm takes this to be Clov's admission that he was wrong, a move which Clov tries to thwart with a sententious aphorism, "No one that ever lived thought so crooked as we." Hamm pounces on this by implying that crooked thinking is all to the good. But his words are ambiguous, for "can" here means both "the best we can" and "what we have to do." Thus the Parthian shaft comes from Clov, who outwits Hamm by repeating his disapproval of crooked thinking in a way which supposes that people do by choice what Hamm has unintentionally said they do by necessity. After a pause, this vigorous little canter earns Clov his master's praise, "You're a bit of all right, aren't you?" This adapts the vulgar British phrase as admiration for Clov's high technical proficiency in playing games with a concept whose varying definitions have worried thinkers of our civilization for over two thousand years. It is because of a similar delight in technical expertise that Hamm on a later occasion cannot resist self-congratulation:
CLOV. Do you believe in the life to come?
HAMM. Mine was always that. (Exit Clov) Got him that time!
Once again, a serious subject, the fate of man's external soul, is used mainly as an occasion for repartee, and this juxtaposition of a formal surface with serious, often terrifying depths accounts for much of what Beckett in his correspondence with Alan Schneider referred to as "the power of the text to claw."
A word frequently applied to Beckett's work is "poetic." What the adjective really points to in Beckett's plays (a context in which it is perjorative if it replaces the honorific qualification "dramatic") is the extraordinary ability of the language and stagecraft to imply, suggest, connote, evoke, and set off expressive nuances. In this respect Endgame fulfills expectations which derive to us from our experience of the symbolist tradition in poetry and drama, for it was Mallarmé's principle that "to name is to destroy; to suggest is to create." It is this, and the traditional assumption that drama imitates a reality beyond itself, which Beckett has chosen to exploit. And he exploits it by providing the play with a level of action, which ignores its own significant implications. The surface of Endgame insists upon itself as a meaningless technical exercise of the medium in its own right and refuses to acknowledge anything beyond its own expertise. Beckett stresses this in his own comment on the play, again in a letter to Alan Schneider:
My work is a matter of fundamental sounds (no joke intended) made as fully as possible, and I accept responsibility for nothing else. If people want to have headaches among the overtones, let them. And provide their own aspirin. Hamm as stated, and Clov as stated, together as stated, nectecum sine te, in such a place, and in such a world, that's all I can manage, more than I could.
The life of Endgame is in the tension it creates by the harsh juxtaposition of the depths and the surface, the "overtones" and what is stated, a doubleness which is apparent in the frequent pauses in the play. On the one hand these are hushed silences in which the resonances of the text may vibrate and amplify in the mind of the audience—"God," "light," "Nature," "ended." At the same time these pauses are merely technical requirements, rests between moves in the last game which is Endgame, no more, no less. Thus the dramatic structure of the play enacts a dialectic which Beckett has stated elsewhere—in Watt, his second novel—as, "this pursuit of meaning, in this indifference to meaning." In so far as we recognise this as an insight into the conditions of human existence we will be able to respond to the full effect of Endgame.
Antony Easthope, "Hamm, Clov, and Dramatic Method in 'Endgame'," in Samuel Beckett's "Endgame," edited by Harold Bloom, Chelsea House Publishers, 1988, pp. 49-58.

Cuchi Commercial & Industrial Developing Investment Joint-Stock Co. (CCI VN), whose businesses include trading agricultural products, fuels, construction materials and properties, rose for a third day, gaining 0.5 percent to 19,900 dong.

Aiming to remain a key hub for sharing photos, Facebook acquired mobile photo application Instagram for $1 billion in cash and stock. The transaction — Facebook's largest to date — also underscores the company's efforts to bolster its mobile offerings. Instagram will continue to operate as an independent business under the same name.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a post that the acquisition would enhance the ability of Facebook users to upload and exchange photos among family and friends.
"We need to be mindful about keeping and building on Instagram's strengths and features rather than just

Launched in October 2010, the Instagram app now has more than 30 million registered users.

If 2011 was the year of testing for publishers who operate so-called private ad exchanges, 2012 looks like it may be the year of putting lessons into action. Private exchanges began popping up in late 2010, with the goal of increasing the price of online-ad inventory that was going unsold by direct-sales teams.

Year Later, What We've Learned About Private Ad Exchanges
To accomplish that, publishers license
real-time bidding technology from tech partners. It helps them orchestrate auctions for ad impressions and determine which buyers get access to inventory, as well as what inventory is made available at what prices. Though exchanges have perhaps
dozens of other characteristics, that's where the standardization ends.
That's because publishers who have taken the leap have charted vastly different paths, employing sometimes contradictory business rules, forcing advertisers and the trading desks and technologies through which they bid on audience segments to learn about each on the fly.
Take, for example, the thorny problem of whether to sell private-exchange inventory to advertisers already making more-expensive ad buys from the sales team. Some publishers fear that big-spending direct advertisers will spend less or stop spending
altogether on reserved inventory if they see how much cheaper the unreserved inventory is in the private marketplace.

Frequently my office receives calls from people saying they are contacting all the bankruptcy lawyers listed in the phone book and inquiring:"How much do you charge for a bankruptcy?"
The caller fails to realize that there are different chapters to file under, which are very different, including different amounts of time and cost involved. In my opinion, advising what chapter to chose is very important. A caller may think their case is "simple" and providing a quote should be easy. But a proper analysis for possible bankruptcy issues needs to be done before one could say that with confidence.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, June 23, 2015 at the Seabridge Villas Capecoral Clubhouse. Open Session will begin at 6:00 p.m.
The railings on some of the balconies appear to have spacing greater than 4 inches between the vertical bars which was approved by the City when the code was greater than 4 inches. The Association's Insurance Carrier wished to remind residents to carefully monitor children and pets and should Owners wish to add lattice panels they can reduce the size of the openings. Please refer to the approved lattice specification for more information.
When Seabridge Village complex was built, the construction codes at the time allowed 6 inch spacing between the vertical bars on your private balconies. However since that time, new construction codes have been amended to require spacing to be less than 4 inches because of safety concerns. Since we believe a special assessment to correct this spacing problem in every balcony would not pass, we urge you to either add approved lattice to prevent any child or pets from slipping between the space and falling to the ground. This is very important should you ever have small children or pets on your balcony.

To: Seabridge Village Master Association Owners
From: Seabridge Village master Assocaition Board of Directors
As you may or not be aware, pedestrian and tennis court access continues to be a serious concern of the Board of Directors. Following numerous maintenance projects and in a continuing effort to better serve its residents, the Board has authorized the re-keying of the Beach and Adams pedestrian gates and the tennis court gates after May 5, 2013. Your existing pedestrian gate and tennis court key will no longer work and you will be unable to gain access with your old keys. Your existing Seabridge Village HOA and Seabridge Villas keys will NOT be affected.
As a Seabridge Village Master owner, you will be provided one (1) gate key at no charge.
For you convenience, keys will also be distributed at the Beach gate after 14th.
In order to pick up a key you need to be the registered homeowner and provide photo identification. After the initial key, a $25.00 fee will be charged for each replacement key. If an owner wishes to designate a tenant or representative to obtain their keys, written authorization is required. If written authorization is not provided, the keys will not be provided.
If you are unable to pick-up your key at the Beach gate, you may pick-up your key at the offices of Action Property Management located at 2603 Main Street, Suite 500, Irvine, CA between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. If you prefer to have your key mailed to you certified mail please contact Action Property Management in writing, a $5.00 fee will be charged for certified mail requests.
Please call Don Chesemore with any questions at (949) 450-0202, Ext. 353.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

|May 2001
|Banking and financial services
Number of employees
|New Zealand Post
Kiwibank Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of the state-owned enterprise New Zealand Post Limited. Through Kiwibank, New Zealand Post provides banking services through its PostShops (post offices) and joint venture Books & More and Papermate outlets throughout New Zealand. Kiwibank is owned by the New Zealand government and the company's Board of Directors was chaired by former New Zealand Prime Minister Jim Bolger from 2001-2010. The current Chairman of the Board of Directors is Rob Morrison.[1]
The bank originated from Alliance Party policy during the 1999—2002 term of the Labour-led coalition government.
Jim Anderton revealed in his valedictory speech that after he had spent three hours trying to convince then Finance Minister Michael Cullen, Annette King told Cullen: "Michael, Jim's beaten back every argument against the bank we've ever put up. For God's sake, give him the bloody bank." Cullen replied: "Oh, all right then."[2]
In 2007, one analysis sees Kiwibank as having fostered a new level of competition in banking in New Zealand in terms of lower fees[3] and growth in service[citation needed]. Kiwibank has higher customer-satisfaction ratings than the four large Australian-owned trading-banks.[4]
Kiwibank's success is reflected primarily in its signup rate for new customers of over 300 new organisations and individuals per day (about 2100 per week).[5] Within the New Zealand financial institution context this is a significant figure: for the four "Big Five" retail banks (ANZ/National Bank (then ANZ National Bank), ASB, Westpac, BNZ), a typical year will result in a 0.2% increase or decrease in market share (deposit and lending values rather than number of customers).
In 2008 Kiwibank unveiled an advertising campaign, "Join The Movement", which parodied World War II resistance themes. Rival banks, most of them Australian-owned, denounced the advertisements as jingoistic.[6]
Core Business Activities[edit]
Kiwibank's core business consists of personal banking, business banking, KiwiSaver and other wealth services.
Kiwibank Personal Banking
Personal banking products and services include home loans, personal loans, credit cards, everyday accounts, savings accounts, investment services and insurance products.[7]
Kiwibank Business Banking
Business Banking products and services include business lending, cheque accounts, credit cards, investments, merchant services, payment services and insurance.[8]
International Services
This includes online and manual international money transfers, foreign exchange and Foreign Currency Accounts and travellers' cheques.
Kiwibank invested NZ$8m into a 51% shareholding in New Zealand Home Loans,[9] a home loan lender specialising in debt reduction, in June 2006, and increased this in 2008 by a further 25% and took 100% in 2011. New Zealand Home Loans continues to grow offering an alternative to the traditional banking model and have a nationwide network of over 75 franchises.[10]
In 2012 Kiwibank purchased Gareth Morgan Investments (GMI) for an undisclosed sum.[11]
Kiwibank has won the Sunday Star Times/Cannex banking awards, in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012 for offering the best value across their range of products.[12]
Other awards won by Kiwibank include: Bank of the Year - New Zealand, The Banker, 2009, 2010
Sunday Star-Times' Bank of the Year, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012
New Zealand's Most Trusted Bank, Reader's Digest Trusted Brand Awards, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012
Kiwibank is the major sponsor of the New Zealander of the Year Awards[13] and was one of the major sponsors of the inaugural series of The Block NZ.
2002: Kiwibank launches successfully with 211 branches open nationwide by 30 June.
2004: The number of Kiwibank branches increases by 16 to 301.
2006: Kiwibank acquires a 51 percent shareholding in New Zealand Home Loans.
2009: Kiwi Group Holdings established as a holding company owning Kiwibank, Kiwi Insurance Ltd and 76 percent of New Zealand Home Loan Company.
2010: Paul Brock appointed new Kiwibank Chief Executive after Sam Knowles resigns
2012: Kiwibank Group purchases Gareth Morgan Investments

The good news, says Godfrey Boyce, of KPMG Financial Services, is that in the past year major banks have adopted low-fee transaction accounts and low-interest rate credit cards to lure customers from competitors. [...] In part, he says this is a reaction to the fact previous banking "minnows", such as Kiwibank, TSB Bank and Rabobank, are now strong enough to be noticed by the major banks.
