Louis Nicolas Philippe Auguste de Forbin
Louis Nicolas Philippe Auguste, comte de Forbin (La Roque-d'Anthéron, Bouches-du-Rhône, 19 August 1779 – Paris, 23 February 1841) was the French painter and antiquary who succeeded Vivant Denon as curator of the Musée du Louvre and the other museums of France.
Early life[edit]
Born at his family's château, La Roque-d'Anthéron, and a Chevallier of the Order of Malta from birth, he drew before he learned to write. In his earliest training he formed a friendship with François Marius Granet that lasted through life. In the counter-revolutionary insurrection at Lyon in 1793, where he was getting instruction from Jean-Jacques de Boissieu, he lost his father, the marquis de Pont-à-Mousson, and his uncle, and was saved only by his youth. The marquise withdrew with her children quietly to Vienne and then to Provence, weathering the extreme phases of the Revolution, while Forbin and Granet developed their art by drawing in the countryside. With the Directoire, it was secure for him to go to Paris, where his good looks and easy, elegant manner recommended him as well as his art.[1] He called Granet to join him, and both entered the large studio of Jacques-Louis David, virtually a neoclassical academy, where they matured their taste. Forbin's first submissions to the Paris salon were in 1796, 1799 and 1800.
He was conscripted into the army, married an heiress, Mlle de Dortan, then gained leave from his regiment in 1802 to travel to Rome with Granet, where he fell into the facile manner of a highly accomplished dilettante,[2] as he was received by the best of Francophile Roman society; in 1804 he was given the post of chamberlain to Princess Pauline Borghese.
Rejoining the army, he served with distinction under Junot in Portugal, and received the Croix d'honneur, then served in the Austrian campaign of 1809, returning to Italy after the peace of Schönbrunn. Here he produced his history paintings, Ines de Castro and The Taking of Granada as well as a sentimental novel, Charles Barimore (published anonymously, Paris 1810).
Museum career[edit]
With the Bourbon Restoration, he was welcome in Paris to assume the post vacated by Vivant-Denon, too indelibly stamped with Napoleonic connections; the comte de Forbin was appointed general director of museums at the Musée du Louvre and Musée du Luxembourg, which were suddenly denuded of their Napoleonic trophies, which were returned to Italy. The Borghese collection of antiquities purchased from Prince Camillo helped fill the void, and the former Cabinet du Roi and works of art in storage at Versailles. The suites of paintings by Rubens and Le Sueur from the Palais du Luxembourg now came to the Louvre, and the remnants of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic musée des Augustins, as the works that had been sequestered from churches were returned to them.
The Institut de France was now reorganized, and in the Académie des Beaux-Arts the comte de Forbin received a seat, by royal order, 16 April 1816. Forbin was made a commander of the Legion of Honor and an honorary Gentleman of the King's Bedchamber.
Travel in the Levant[edit]
Forbin boarded the frigate Cléopâtra for an expedition to the Levant to purchase Greek and Roman works of art. The company, which departed from Toulon 22 August 1817,[3] was composed of Forbin, his cousin, abbé Charles-Marie-Auguste-Joseph de Forbin-Janson, later Bishop of Nancy, the architect Jean-Nicolas Huyot, the painter Pierre Prévost, later known for his landscape panoramas, and a young painter, Cochereau, Prévost's nephew, who was taken on to provide architectural drawings and renditions of sites, but succombed before the expedition reached Athens; almost unnoticed was a young man who swiftly took Cochereau's place, Louis Maurice Adolphe Linant de Bellefonds, destined for a career in Egypt. The party visited Melos, where Huyot had the misfortune to break his leg and could not join the company at Athens, Constantinople, Smyrna, Ephesus, Acre, Syria, Caesarea, Ascalon on the coast of Palestine, with a side trip to Jerusalem the Dead Sea and the River Jordan, and finally Egypt, where the voyagers reached Damietta by caravan, then returned by the Nile to Cairo, where they disembarked in December 1818. The Voyage dans le Levant was published in 1819, with 80 plates.[4] Another result was Forbin's modestly titled account of the voyage, illustrated with lithographs from his drawings, Livre de croquis d'un voyageur[5]
Career in museums[edit]
Some remnants of Antiquity from the tour entered the Louvre, but the coup was the acquisition of the Venus de Milo, discovered in 1820. The Director of the Museums was able to get Louis XVIII to set aside political distaste and authorize the purchase of David's Rape of the Sabine Women and Thermopyle for the Louvre, and, even more daring Théodore Géricault's The Raft of the Medusa, which Forbin had been pressing as a royal purchase, and which was eventually bought from the painter's heirs in 1824.
Under his guidance post-Renaissance sculptures were brought together and exhibited as the musée d'Angolême, from the rooms that had served Napoleon's Council of State were exorcised with new decorative paintings and allegorical ceilings by the most current painters (1825–1827),[6] and a musée Charles X opened in 1827 to display Etruscan and Egyptian antiquities. The palais du Luxembourg was opened as a museum of contemporary art purchased by the State. Plaster casts of antique sculptures, designed to inspire students, were actively sought out.
At the end of 1828 the comte de Forbin suffered a partial stroke, from which he never fully recovered. His intellectual faculties were affected, and his memory. He withdrew into a studious solitude, retouching — and spoiling — the paintings of his youth. Louis-Philippe extended to him the position of director of the royal museums, but Alphonse de Cailleux, who had been his administrative assistant for some time, was actually in charge. A second attack, 12 February 1841, left him paralysed and he died soon afterwards. Cailleux succeeded him in his Louvre post.
A commemorative Portefeuille of forty-five his drawings, with an appreciative text by his bother-in-lae M. de Macellus, was published in 1843.

As the Tennessee Volunteer football program continued to struggle to find its footing since the parting of ways with Phillip Fulmer, they thought they had the answer to their problems. Charlie Strong was a guy who grew up in SEC Country. He went to college in SEC Country. He earned his coaching stripes in SEC Country. Surely he would jump at the chance to leave what some considered a second-tier job at Louisville to become the head coach at one of the SEC's historically dominant and prestigious programs. Wrong. After being courted by the Volunteers for a couple of weeks in late 2012, Charlie Strong said no to Tennessee and signed a deal to stay at Louisville through 2020. He followed that up by leading his Louisville team to a lopsided victory over the Florida Gators, another darling of the SEC. Charlie Strong's actions have spoken volumes. He plans on building an empire in Louisville. He'll get a nice jump on that building process in 2013. For staters, he'll have T...

From CBS Sports:
http://www.cbssports.com/general/blo...tional-lineupsFor the second straight game, Carlos Pena is batting leadoff for the Rays. In the same lineup, Drew Sutton is hitting cleanup (via Marc Topkin on Twitter).
Pena is a first baseman with a .215 batting aveage, 55 strikeouts in 44 games, only 26 career stolen bases (in 1,270 games) and good power. Conventional wisdom would say that leadoff is the absolute last place to bat Pena.
But he walks a lot. His 29 walks and five hit-by-pitches this season give him a .354 on-base percentage, basically right in line with his career .352 mark.
That's awesome. I love Joe Maddon. How many managers would bat their first baseman in the leadoff spot? It's a great move, as Pena is known for his ability to get on base. Who cares that he lacks great speed, he gets on base and that's all the matters in the leadoff spot. I wish Dusty would follow suit and bat Ryan Hanigan leadoff or second on days when he starts.
Btw, Drew Sutton, batting 4th is 1-for-1 with a double and a walk today.
Joe Maddon has to be the most out-of-the-box thinking manager in baseball today. I hope after Dusty is gone the Reds take a serious look at Dave Martinez, the bench coach of the Rays. Surely some of Maddon has rubbed off on him.

How to Make Cottage Cheese
When I began the stockpile challenge, one of the first things I noticed I was running low on was cheese. A reader, Mary, passed on instructions for farmer's cheese. I combined Mary's instructions with some instructions off the net and made a delicious light and fluffy cottage cheese.
The thing that shocked me the most was that I made this creamy deliciousness with only 3 simple ingredients:
organic milk
white vinegar
To compare, I looked up the ingredients of a common brand of cottage cheese sold at the grocery store:
Cultured Fat Free Milk, Buttermilk, Nonfat Dry Milk, Cream, Salt, Citric Acid, Lactic Acid, Phosphoric Acid, Natural Flavoring, Guar Gum, Mono and Diglycerides, Xanthan Gum, Carob Bean Gum, Titanium, Dioxide(artificial color), Maltodextrin, Cultured dextrose, Postassium Sorbate, Calcium Chloride, Enzymes
This is the easiest thing that I've ever made!
2-1/2 cups of 2% milk
1/4 cup of white vinegar
dash of salt (optional – it's just for flavor)
1.) In a large saucepan bring the milk almost to a boil. As soon as bubbles begin to rise to the top, remove the saucepan from the heat.
2.) Immediately stir in the white vinegar and the salt (if using). You will see the milk begin to curdle immediately.
3.) Allow the mixture to cool completely – about 1 hour at room temperature.
4.) Using a mesh strainer, separate the curds and the whey (hints of Little Miss Muffit!). Keep the whey for other uses (discussed below).
The result will be a delicious, light and fluffy cottage cheese. I ended up with just short of 1 cup of cottage cheese and just over a cup and a half of whey. I think if I'd left it to cool longer or placed it in the fridge overnight before draining that I might have ended up with more curds and less whey.
Some uses for whey:
Substitute for water or milk in baking
Use in place of part or all of the water when cooking rice or pasta
Use it for smoothies
Use it in oatmeal or other porridge
Seriously – this was so incredibly easy that I was shocked. I will never buy cottage cheese again!
NOTE: A reader mentioned that her cottage cheese had a very sour taste. She discovered that you can rinse the curds under running water to get rid of this taste. Thank you, Anna!

Surface sensitization of a chalcogenide glass is achieved by depositing an extremely thin silver layer, for example, by depositing a silver halide and developing and fixing in the absence of exposure. The sensitized chalcogenide can then be exposed to light to make it etch-resistant. Further exposure reverses the etch resistance, permitting positive or negative images and permitting erasure. Microlithographic resists such as masks can be formed.
1. A photosensitive product for the formation of microlithographic resists, masks and the like comprising
a substrate,
a layer of an etchable chalcogenide glass on said substrate, and
an extremely thin deposit of silver on the surface of said chalcogenide glass, said silver deposit being thinner than about 100 A., said silver deposit being formed by depositing binderless silver halide thereon and photographically reducing and fixing said silver halide in the absence of exposure to activating radiation.
2. The photosensitive product of claim 1, wherein said product is essentially free from exposure to activating radiation.
3. The photosensitive product of claim 1, wherein said product is uniformly fogged by exposure to activating radiation in a quantity to bring about essentially full etch resistance in said chalcogenide glass,
said product being characterized by photoresponse to activating radiation to reduce the etch resistance of said chalcogenide glass upon further exposure.
4. The photosensitive product of claim 1 wherein said chalcogenide glass is As2 S3.
5. The photosensitive product of claim 4, wherein said layer of As2 S3 comprises an under layer of As2 S3 exposed to ultraviolet light and a surface layer free from exposure to ultraviolet light.
6. A photosensitive resist for the formation of microlithographic resists, masks and the like comprising
a substrate,
a layer of an etchable chalcogenide glass vacuum evaporated on said substrate, and
an extremely thin deposit of silver on the surface of said chalcogenide glass, said silver deposit being thinner than about 100 A, said silver deposit being formed by depositing binderless silver halide in the absence of exposure to activating radiation.
7. The photosensitive resist of claim 6, wherein said chalcogenide glass is arsenic trisulfide.
8. As an intermediate product, a product for the formation of microlithographic resists, masks and the like, comprising the product of claim 4 having areas of etch-susceptible As2 S3 and areas of etch-resistant As2 S3, the areas of etch resistant As2 S3 corresponding to areas which are activated by a history of exposure to the radiation-containing portions of a pattern of light and shadow of said radiation.
9. A method of making a photosensitive product for the formation of microlithographic resists, masks and the like, comprising
vacuum evaporating a chalcogenide glass on a substrate,
depositing a binderless silver halide on the surface of said chalcogenide glass,
partially reducing said silver halide, in the absence of photographic developer quantitatively sufficient to form an extremely thin layer of reduced silver less than 100 A in thickness on said chalcogenide glass surface, and
fixing said layer to remove silver halide,
whereby a surface sensitized chalcogenide layer results, said layer being reversibly altered in etch resistance by exposure to moderate activating radiation.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the chalcogenide glass is As2 S3.
11. The process of forming a pattern of chalcogenide glass comprising
evaporating a layer of chalcogenide glass on a substrate,
depositing a binderless silver halide on the surface of said chalcogenide glass to form a unitary product,
in the absence of exposure to activiating radiation, developing said silver halide in a photographic developer quantitatively sufficient to form an extremely thin layer of reduced silver less than 100 A in thickness,
fixing said unitary product, thereby removing silver halide therefrom,
exposing said product to a pattern of light and shadow to be reproduced, and
etching said chalcogenide glass to form a pattern of said glass on the substrate, said pattern of glass corresponding to the pattern of light and shadow.
12. The process of claim 9 wherein said chalcogenide glass is As2 S3.
In recent years, it has been found that chalcogenide glasses such as arsenic trisulfide, selenium-germanium glasses and the like are useful for producing resists and for related purposes. These glasses can be placed on suitable substrates in very thin layers and, being amorphous, they have very uniform physical characteristics. They can be readily etched into resist designs: after exposure to a light image or other activating radiation image the chalcogenide glass itself has an image which is differentially resistant to an alkaline etch.
More recently, it has been found that an image of silver on a chalcogenide glass layer can be diffused into or driven into the surface of the glass by light, heat, or preferably, infra red or similar radiation. The silver image has been produced by depositing a silver halide on the glass, exposing it photographically to a pattern to be reproduced and developing it, thus converting some of the silver halide to silver. The silver halide does not respond to infra red radiation while the reduced silver is driven into the surface of the chalcogenide glass thus forming an image configuration of a hard or etch resistant cap on the glass. In our prior application Ser. No. 86,198 , which is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 57,183, filed July 13, 1979, a silver halide deposit on the chalcogenide glass surface is exposed to activating radiation and is photographically developed and processed to produce a silver image on the glass. This image is then used to provide an etch resistant cap at the glass surface. The silver required for cap formation can be generated by a relatively short exposure to a light image, or by a relatively short exposure to other activating radiation such as electron beam writing or the like, followed by development.
Resists formed in this way are useful for various micro-resist purposes, including microlithographic purposes; one particularly valuable consequence is the ability to form particularly fine-resolution masks for semiconductor production.
According to the present invention, the chalcogenide glass itself is surface sensitized or made photographically active by treating its surface with activated silver. The treated glass can be exposed to a pattern of light and shadow to form selectively a pattern in the form of a hardened etch resistant cap. The exact mechanism is not now known, but it is believed that the activated silver under the action of light, penetrates into the very top of the chalcogenide glass and combines with the glass to produce a very thin top layer of altered composition.
The etch resistant cap formed according to the present invention differs from caps of the prior art at least in that it is photographically reversible. As will be shown in FIG. 8, exposure of the activated chalcogenide glass to an initial quantity of radiation produces etch resistance; continued exposure then reverses the cap formation. Consequently, this activated chalcogenide glass can be normally exposed to a pattern of light and shadow to form a selective etch resistant glass, the exposed areas being etch resistant. In the alternative, the entire surface can be preliminarily uniformly exposed or flooded with radiation and subsequently exposed to a line pattern: in this case, patternwise the exposed areas are etch-sensitive. Also, a resist or mask or the like may be formed and subsequently removed by further exposure and etching.
In the optimum etching process, it is desirable, in order to obtain high resolution line patterns to retain high contrast of the relief image whereby regions unexposed to imaging radiation etch to completion rapidly, thereby minimizing the time that exposed regions must remain totally etch resistant. To facilitate such differential etching, the chalcogenide deposit may be a laminate with a normal top layer over a bottom layer which has been treated so as to etch rapidly. For example, a 3000 A deposit may be constructed as follows. A 2500 A bottom layer is vapor deposited and this layer during or after deposition is exposed to a sufficient amount of U.V. flood lighting known to noticeably increase the chalcogenide etch rate. The top 500 A of the chalcogenide, however, is deposited as usual with safe lighting. Therefore, the total etching time of the chalcogenide laminate in regions unexposed to imaging light will be noticeably reduced because of accelerated etching in the 2500 A base layer.
The nature of the invention may be more clearly understood with reference to the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic sectional view of an intermediate resist element according to one embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a like view of the element of FIG. 1 after an additional process operation;
FIG. 3 is a like view of the element of FIG. 1 during a next subsequent process operation;
FIG. 4 is a like view of the element of FIG. 1 after preliminary process operations;
FIG. 5 is a like view of a resist element in the same production stage as that of FIG. 4, this element being in accordance with another embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 6 is a like view of the element of FIG. 5 during exposure;
FIG. 7 is a like view of a manufactured resist according to one embodiment of the invention;
FIG 8 is a graph of the exposure response of instant element compared with prior art elements.
In FIG. 1 is shown an intermediate resist element generally designated 10 including a suitable substrate member 11 such as glass, quartz or the like. On the surface of the substrate 11 is a first layer 12 which may be a chalcogenide glass such as arsenic trisulfide, selenium germanium or the like. This first layer is characterized by being readily susceptible to etching and can be formed by the deposition of arsenic trisulfide in the presence of significant ultraviolet illumination. On this first layer 12 is an upper layer 13 which may be conventionally vacuum deposited arsenic trisulfide.
In FIG. 2 is shown a subsequent resist element generally designated 10A, including substrate member 11, layer 12 and layer 13 as in previous element 10. On the surface of upper layer 13 is a layer 15 of a silver halide, such as may be formed by vacuum deposition of one of the silver halides or a mixture of silver halides.
In FIG. 3 is shown the resist element 10A of FIG. 2 during a subsequent processing operation. Shown in FIG. 3 is the element 10A with a layer or bath 17 of a photographic developer in contact with the silver halide deposit 15. At the time of development, the silver halide has not been exposed to light or similar radiation. As a result, the photographic developer only slowly reduces silver halide to silver. Development in this operational step is continued to form a very thin silver layer (see FIG. 4) which may, for example, be in the range of about 10 A to somewhat less than 100 A.
In FIG. 4 is shown a surface sensitized resist element generally designated 10C, having a substrate 11, a lower layer of etch-susceptible material 12, an upper layer of chalcogenide glass 13 and a sensitizing thin coating of silver 16. In one embodiment of the invention the silver layer has been formed through the deposition of a silver halide on a chalcogenide glass layer followed by photographic development and fixing without exposure.
In FIG. 5 is shown an element 10D which is counterpart of element 10C, except that element 10D has a single chalcogenide glass layer 18 on a substrate 11 with a thin silver coating 16 on the surface of the chalcogenide glass. The single layer 18 may be made, for example, by vacuum evaporation of the chalcogenide glass such as arsenic trisulfide on a suitable substrate, the evaporation being carried out in darkness or under safe-light conditions. The silver layer 16 may be formed in the same manner as layer 16 of FIG. 4.
As shown in FIG. 6, element 10C is exposed to a suitable light image pattern of activating radiation, such as areas 19 of light and areas 20 of shadow. The pattern may be any appropriate pattern for a resist, including for example, an electron beam pattern which may be used to make a mask for semiconductor manufacture.
After element 10C is exposed, it is then etched, for example in strong ammonium hydroxide or other etching bath ordinarily employed for chalcogenide glasses or other etchable layers. In FIG. 7 is shown a relief pattern of etch resisting areas 21 corresponding to the exposed pattern areas (areas 19 in FIG. 6). When the correct level of exposure has acted on layer 13, its surface becomes selectively etch resistant corresponding to the quantity of activating radiation to which the layer was subjected. The exposed areas of layer 13 thus forms an effective etch resisting cap which protects both layer 13 and the underlying layer 12 from etching.
In FIG. 8 is shown diagrammatically the exposure response of the surface sensitization element in comparison with several prior chalcogenide materials and processes. The chart shows photographic exposure response in terms of the fraction of material remaining after a reproducible standard etch as a consequence of the amount of exposure. It is expressly observed that exposure is presented in units representing powers of ten, and that equal units represent tenfold differences of intensity or time of exposure. The units of exposure in FIG. 8 are approximate. In FIG. 8, chart or line 30 illustrates, in effect, the photographic speed of simple direct exposure of an arsenic trisulfide layer to a mercury arc light source. As illustrated, an exposure of about 1�104 mJ/cm2 will produce a resist in which about 25% of the chalcogenide will remain after etching. The deposition of a simple layer of silver, vacuum evaporated onto the surface provides full density at the same exposure level, as shown in chart or line 31, with useful resists being formed from exposures of about 1�103 mJ/cm2. This procedure is illustrated by Yoshikawa et al, " A novel inorganic photoresist utilizing Ag photodoping in Se-Ge glass films", Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 29, No. 10, Nov. 15, 1976, pages 677-679. In a system disclosed in copending application Ser. No. 86,198, filed Oct. 17, 1979, and its parent application Ser. No. 57,183 filed July 13, 1979 a much faster photographic speed is achieved, as is shown in chart or line 32 of FIG. 8. Very good etch resistance is produced by exposure levels of 10 mJ/cm2 and nearly full resistance to the etch is produced with about 1�102 mJ/cm2.
In each of these three cases essentially full etch resistance is retained as exposure levels are greatly increased.
In contradistinction from these prior results, the photosensitivity of the present invention is illustrated in chart or line 33 of FIG. 8. As shown, essentially full etch resistance is obtained by exposures of about 1�102 mJ/cm2. This etch resistance reverses down to nearly zero when the exposure substantial exceeds that which is required to produce etch resistance. As a result of the reversing etch resistance shown in line 33, two new options are created. A resist may be formed after a first exposure to produce a pattern of etch resistance, and the resist appropriately utilized. Thereafter, a subsequent exposure can create etch sensitivity in part or all of the resist, whereupon a further etch will permit erasure of the resist in part or in whole to amend or destroy it.
According to the second option large areas, or the entire area of the surface sensitized chalcogenide, may be fogged or exposed, and then exposed to an image pattern of radiation to form a photographic reversal image in the resist.
Following is a specific example of one procedure for carrying out the present invention.
A suitable substrate such as a small glass, quartz or other support base 11 is placed in a conventional vacuum evaporation system which is then evacuated to a pressure around 5�10-5 or 1�10-6 Torr. A layer of arsenic trisulfide is evaporated from a molybdenum boat onto the substrate at the rate of about 1 to 5 A thickness per second, in the present of ultraviolet illumination, to form a layer about 2500 A thick. The ultraviolet illumination is then turned off and evaporation is continued to deposit an additional layer of arsenic trisulfide about 500 A thick. This is the element of FIG. 1.
The substrate with the arsenic sulfide coating is transferred to another vacuum evaporation system, again evacuated to about 5�10-5 or 1�10-6 Torr, and a silver halide layer chosen from silver chloride, silver bromide, or mixtures of the chloride and bromide is evaporated onto the arsenic trisulfide surface. The silver halide is evaporated from a tungsten boat held at 675� C. to form a layer of silver halide between about 200 A and about 1500 A thick, generally about 600 A to about 1200 A. This the element of FIG. 2.
The resulting element is developed (See FIG. 3) for approximately one minute at room temperature in a photographic developer having the following composition:
______________________________________hydroquinone 2.5g/1000 ml.p-methylaminophenol sulfate 0.67sodium sulfite 26sodium carbonate 26gelatin 1.67______________________________________
Development under these conditions is quantitatively sufficient to deposit a layer of silver having a thickness of about 20 A.
After development, the element is fixed in a photographic fixer to remove unreduced silver halide. The resulting product is the element of FIG. 4, having a substrate 11, a laminate of softer arsenic trisulfide 12 and of unsoftened arsenic trisulfide 13 and a very thin silver layer 15 thereon.
This element is then exposed to an image pattern of activating radiation such as an image of visible light or writing by an electron beam, or the like. (See FIg. 6). In one specific instance, a pattern element was placed in contact with the silver surface and exposed to the output of a 400 W mercury arc lamp. measured at 2.3 mW/cm2 by means of an International Light Photoresist Photometer for about 30 seconds. The exposed layer is then etched in concentrated ammonium hydroxide for about 30 seconds (as required to dissolve away the unexposed regions). The resulting product is element 10E of FIG. 7, comprising an arsenic trisulfide resist layer on a glass or quartz substrate.
This pattern on element 10E can be destroyed in whole or in part by flooding the entire surface, or large areas of it, for a period of 5 minutes with the same ultraviolet lamp and again etching with concentrated ammonium hydroxide.

AboutDocument Scotland 01st Jul - 27th Sep 2014 Sophie Gerrard, Colin McPherson, Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert, Stephen McLaren Set against the backdrop of the historic referendum on Scotland's Independence, Beyond the Border brings together four Scottish photographers, each with a distinctive view of a nation in the midst of intense debate about its future. This international premiere one of the most significant shows of new Scottish photography in a generation aims to challenge clichés and explore the country, its people and identity. Sophie Gerrard's Drawn to the Land is an intimate look at the role woman play in shaping the rural Scottish landscape. From Highland crofters to Lowland farmers, Gerrard explores how their lives interrelate with the land in which they live and work. Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert's Edge of an Empire brings history to life in a fascinating study of the Antonine Wall, the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire, as the wall crosses through central Scotland attracting visitors and living history groups alike. Stephen McLaren reveals the world of Americans with Scottish ancestry who retain close affinity with the âOld Country', even through they may never set foot there. McLaren's series American Always, Scottish Forever depicts the athletes, musicians, artists, and visitors attending California's burgeoning Highland Games season. Colin McPherson presents A Fine Line, a year-long exploration of the physical border between Scotland and England, examining and questioning the very nature of the frontier and how it looks from the Scottish side. Together, the four photographers are Document Scotland, a collective formed in 2012. Sophie Gerrard says, âWe share a common vision to witness and photograph the important and diverse stories within Scotland, and to promote and support photography in Scotland'. Colin McPherson says, âthe work in Beyond the Border is neither overtly political nor partisan, but aims to record and disseminate ideas and themes surrounding this pivotal moment in the nation's history'. The vote to decide whether Scotland becomes an independent nation takes place on 18th September 2014. Beyond the Border is curated by Impressions Gallery's Scottish-born director Anne McNeill.

text: We all hear the discussions about Social Media ROI all the time, but in the end there is no standard answer to the question on the return of your social media activities. That's why we want to show you a different approach of setting up your own formula for social media success. With the recent introduction of QQL we have laid the foundation for technically defining your own metrics. In this blog article we want to go a step further and help you to get the theory right behind that and to come up with your own formula that measures your success the best. We believe that there is no standardized success formula thats can be accurate, so going the individual path is definitely the preferred and recommended choice.

Skiing in Vuokatti
The ultimate sport and leisure resort in the region is located in Vuokatti (somewhat 40 km away from Kajaani to East). The facilities include 200 kilometres of cross country skiing tracks, 12 down hill skiing slopes, an indoor ski tunnel, indoor half pipe, luxurious Katinkulta spa, golf couse, indoor bowling alley (with regular disco bowling!) and a whole range of accommodation from log cabins to well equipped flats and hotel rooms (It's useful to book well ahead though).
The skiing season runs roughly from December to May. Vuokatti also boasts as being the home of the nationally and internationally recognised sports training institute, as several professional teams from various different countries train there every year.

- Skiing and Boarding
- Golf
Outdoorsy activities in Kajaani
The marked walking trail network of Kajaani includes several circular trails of various length, and connection trails between them. There most accessible trails are located in Pöllyvaara and Vimpelinlaakso.
The large sea-like open water areas such as the Nuasjärvi and Oulujärvi lakes, the small lakes and the light pine forests are excellent places for bird watching (them flying things!!).
Picking berries and mushrooms is allowed in most forestry areas, according to the Everyman's right.
There are very good fishing places on the River Kajaani as well as the Lake Oulujärvi which has a diverse set of fish species including trout, whitefish, pike-perch and pike. The fishing licence can be bought from the Intersport shop, located on the high street (Kauppakatu 24). If I'm right, ice fishing is allowed without permit (check, however, in advance).
There are well maintained cross-country ski trails in Pöllyvaara and Vimpelinlaakso. However, be aware that the terrain is pretty challenging for someone who has not done cross country skiiing for a long time or at all before. In that case, head to the island of Rehja on the Nuasjärvi lake (the trails are open and maintained roughly from January to March, depending on the thickness of the ice). Since the terrain is entirely flat the frozen lake is a good place to go skiing even if you haven't done it much before.
You can also walk on the ice (for instance towards Rehja or just off Paltaniemi), but make sure you don't tread on the skiing trails as the skiers won't be too happy about that.
There are a few possibilities to drive on the ice as well. Make sure you consult the travel info (Kajaani Info) before you do this, as it might not be safe to take your car on the ice if it's not thick enough.

There was one exception to all the success of Newton's theory. For years before Einstein wrote down his equations, astronomers had known that the details of Mercury's orbit didn't perfectly match Newton's predictions. The difference was small, but clearly present. Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. This combines a large mass (the Sun's) with small distances, which is one situation where Einstein's equations are not the same as Newton's. The very first thing Einstein did after discovering his equations was to solve them for the orbit of Mercury. He picked out the detail that Newton's theory couldn't account for, and saw that his own theory predicted it correctly. This was the first trial, and first success of Einstein's theory. He had shown that Newton was very nearly right much of the time, but wrong in the most extreme cases.

"We are pleased that the PIX 301 EXTEND trial of pixantrone demonstrated a long-lasting clinical benefit in this heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory group of patients with aggressive NHL and look forward to completing the New Drug Application submission later this month," said James A. Bianco, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of CTI. "Given the lack of approved therapies for this resistant group of patients with aggressive NHL, we believe pixantrone offers a valuable therapy for this unmet medical need."
The most common grade 3, 4 adverse event observed on the pixantrone arm was neutropenia in 41.2% of patients versus 19.4% on the comparator arm. However, the incidence of grade 3, 4 febrile neutropenia was only 7.4% versus 3.0% in the comparator arm. Grade 3, 4 infections had a similar incidence in both study arms (18% vs. 13%). Although the grade 3, 4 cardiac disorder was similar among the two treatment groups (1.5% vs. 1.5%), there was a slightly higher incidence of serious cardiac disorders in patients treated with pixantrone than among patients who received comparator agents (8.8% vs. 4.5%). Events considered cardiac disorders included cardiac arrest, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, cyanosis, pericardial effusion, and tachycardia.
The ASCO poster is available at http://www.celltherapeutics.com/investor_updates.
In April 2009, CTI began a rolling submission of a New Drug Application ("NDA") with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") for pixantrone to treat relapsed or refractory aggressive NHL. CTI expects to complete the submission this month and will request priority review which if granted could lead to an approval decision from the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2009.'/>"/>

Interesting. Will they be using the Nolan Batman continuity, with a new actor, or set up something else? Seems strange to jump in with a new continuity for Batman without setting it up in its own story, but at the same time the Nolanverse really doesn't have room for a magic flying alien.
Honestly, I don't think they really need a new movie to set up a new Batman. At this point, most of the world knows the basics: Wayne Manor, Alfred, Bat-Cave, dead parents, etc.
If, in the new movie, Superman visits Gotham City and a mysterious stranger in a bat-suit emerges from the shadows, I doubt if anyone in the audience is going to wonder, "Hey, who is this Batman dude? What's his story?"
