"… to shoot and produce a book that was to be called 'Crazy, Mad, Outrageous Interiors'. I traveled around the world for a year working on this book. L'Esperto dropped the project, but Norma Skurka, The New York Times interiors editor those days, took over and Quadrangle Books published the book in 1972. It was called 'Underground Interiors'."

Get UK Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
Hi, welcome to Just Answer. I will help you with your question.
Unfortunately, there is very little prospect in reality of having the disclosure removed.
However, the fact you worked for the last 15 years in a similar situation, working with vulnerable adults, without incident, certainly goes in your favour and the relevance of which should not be under estimated.
I'm afraid, in all reality, it is very much likely to be the case of explaining away the contents of the police disclosure rather than preventing them coming out.
It is possible to make representations to the police, to the effect that certain information ought to be removed from their computer systems. In reality, it is extremely difficult, impossible in most cases, to succeed in doing that.
Many thanks for your advice, it is pretty much as I thought it would be.

Mentos 1932
December 11, 2011 by staff
Mentos 1932, Mentos candy was first created in the Netherlands in 1932, and as of 2011, the snack is sold in over 100 countries throughout the world. The classic, mint-flavored roll was the first edition to the Mentos line, but you can now purchase six additional flavors — as well as Mentos gum. Mentos candy varies in nutritional value depending on the flavor, but is generally low in calories and nutrients.
All foods provide a certain amount of energy to the body, and each food's energy value can be measured in calories. All Mentos rolls contain 10 calories per serving except for the Mentos Tropical Roll flavor, which contains 10.5. Each Mentos roll weighs 37.5 g and contains 14 pieces of candy.
Mentos rolls contain a small dose of fat. All Mentos flavors contain less than 0.2 g of fat per serving, a negligible amount for achieving your daily fat requirement. The body needs a moderate amount of fat for energy and to insulate vital organs, and the average adult should get between 44 to 78 g each day, depending on activity level. Mentos also contain a small amount of saturated fat, a specific type of fat that is highly related to coronary heart disease.
All Mentos flavors contain 2.5 g of carbohydrate per serving with the exception of the Berry Blast version, which contains just 2.4 g. Sugar, a specific type of carbohydrate that is used as a sweetener, ranges from 1.9 g per serving in the Tropical, Berry Blast, Fruit and Sour Mix rolls to 2.0 g in the Mint, Spearmint and Strong Mint flavors. It is difficult to find sweet products that are low in sugar, but women should limit their sugar intakes to 100 calories each day, while men should consume no more than 150 calories of sugar, according to the American Heart Association.

Introduction The media is full of articles extolling the potential benefits of e-commerce. However, these are largely from the perspective of consumer sales. A poll by ComputerWorld of 100 senior systems managers found that 36 percent had diverted resources to internet projects. This was done purely as a result of top management reading a media report on e-commerce technology. This is hardly a strategic rationale. Sales of mid-range and enterprise systems have been boosted by the demands of companies rushing to develop e-commerce facilities. In short, the hype surrounding the potential of e-commerce is driving organizations to develop e-commerce capabilities, often without considering the strategic implications. This article will explore some of the potential implications of the much anticipated explosion in e-commerce activity.

Mitten ins Schwarze
Liebe LeserInnen, ich möchte mich zunächst kurz vorstellen. Ich heiße Serena Vecchietti und komme aus Trient eine Stadt im Norden Italiens. Dort habe ich Soziologie und Internationale Beziehungen studiert und mein Studium im März 2013 mit dem Masterabschluss beendet. Danach habe ich für 1,5 Jahre in einem Ausbildungszentrum für Internationale Zusammenarbeit und im Studierendensekretariat der Universität Trient gearbeitet. Jetzt mache ich ein Praktikum beim "Netzwerk Friedenskooperative" in Bonn im Rahmen des MoVE Programms (Mobilitŕ verso l´Europa = Mobilität nach Europa). Als ich das erste Mal von diesem Programm gehört habe, wusste ich sofort, dass dies genau das Richtige für mich ist.
MoVE ist ein EU-Mobilitätsprojekt, das von der Provinz Trient – Servizio Europa – Ufficio Fondo Sociale Europeo – organisiert und mit Mitteln des Europäischen Sozialfonds finanziert wird. Ziel des Projektes ist es, die italienischen Teilnehmenden in die Lage zu versetzen, neue Perspektiven für ihre berufliche Zukunft in der Europäischen Union zu entwickeln ihre Mobilität innerhalb der EU zu unterstützen, sowie erlernte Fähigkeiten, Fach- und Sprachkenntnisse zu festigen. Dadurch, dass man einen Blick über den "Tellerrand" hinaus wirft und andere Länder, Kulturen und Arbeitswelten kennenlernt, wird man vom gegenseitigen Austausch bereichert und kann diese Erfahrungen in die heimische Arbeitswelt integrieren. Die Autonome Provinz von Trient bietet jedes Jahr 300 jungen Leuten die Möglichkeit, einen Sprachkurs oder ein Praktikum in Ländern der Europäischen Union zu machen. Die Teilnehmer des Projektes werden durch strenge Kriterien bei einer Sprachprüfung und einem Kolloquium ausgewählt. Die Plätze im Programm sind sehr begehrt: ein Praktikum in Ausland, und vor allem in Deutschland, wird von Unternehmern in Italien sehr hoch gewertet.
Der Projektpartner ist die Akademie für Internationale Bildung (AIB) in Bonn. In diesem Jahr erstreckt sich das Programm über 16 Wochen, vom August bis Dezember 2014. Insgesamt haben zehn junge ItalienerInnen daran teilgenommen. Nach 2 Wochen intensiven Sprachunterrichts in multinationalen Klassen in einer Bonner Sprachschule, absolvieren die Teilnehmerinnen ein 13-wöchiges Praktikum. Exkursionen und auch die Besichtigung von kulturell bedeutenden Schauplätzen in der Umgebung, eröffnen den Teilnehmenden die Möglichkeit, Land und Leute aus einer anderen Perspektive kennenzulernen. Die TeilnehmerInnen sind in deutschen Gastfamilien in Bonn und Umgebung untergebracht. Während der ganzen Zeit werden regelmäßige Praktikumstreffen durchgeführt, in denen Erfahrungen, Erfolge, aber auch Probleme angesprochen werden. Am Anfang definieren alle TeilnehmerInnen ihre Ziele für das Praktikum. Durch wöchentliche "Praktikumstagebucheinträge" erhalten die Praktikanten die Möglichkeit, ihre Ziele zu überprüfen und zu schauen, was sie schon erreicht haben und was vielleicht noch bis zum Ende verändert werden muss, um die Ziele zu erreichen. Am Ende des Praktikums findet in einem gemeinsamen Gespräch eine Abschlussreflektion statt. Während der ganzen Zeit werden die Praktikanten durch Susanne Jansen, die Praktikumskoordinatorin der AIB, betreut. Nach erfolgreicher Teilnahme an dem Programm erhalten die Teilnehmer den "Europäischen Mobilitätspass" und zusätzlich die Möglichkeit die offizielle Deutsch-Prüfung (Niveau C1) am Goethe Institut in Trient abzulegen.
Die 10 ItalienerInnen sind jetzt seit 14 Wochen in Bonn. Sie haben ein Stückchen des Sommers erlebt, sie sind durch einen warmen und bunten Herbst gelaufen und jetzt können sie die weihnachtliche Atmosphäre der Stadt genießen. In ihren Praktikum haben sie viel erlebt und gelernt. Nicole und Samuele, die in Italien ihr Abitur im Juli 2014 gemacht haben, arbeiten in einem Hotel. Federica und Federico, die ihren Masterabschluss in Architektur gemacht haben, arbeiten in Architekturbüros. Marco, der sein Studium mit dem Masterabschluss als Ingenieur beendet hat, in einem Ingenieurbüro. Francesca und Stefano haben einen Master in Internationale Beziehungen gemacht und arbeiten bei DVV International und der Ijgd. Alessandra, die noch studiert um Dolmetscherin zu werden, arbeitet bei einem Filmprojekt und Francesca, die eine neusprachliche Schule besucht hat, im Informationsbüro der Stadt Bonn.
Wie schon erwähnt, arbeite ich beim Netzwerk Friedenskooperative: eine große, unbekannte und interessante Welt, in einem kleinen, vollen und bunten Büro. Am Anfang meiner Zeit hier war alles noch sehr neu und unverständlich für mich. Mit der Zeit und der Hilfe meiner geduldigen Kollegen, Kristian, Philipp und Marvin, hat sich aber Vieles geklärt. In den letzten zweieinhalb Monaten habe ich viel von der Friedensbewegung in Deutschland erfahren und jeden Tag einen Stückchen mehr von der enormen Arbeitsleistung des Netzwerks Friedenskooperative verstanden. Ich hatte die Möglichkeit an Mitgliederversammlungen der Kooperation für den Frieden und der Kampagne "atomwaffenfrei.jetzt" teilzunehmen. Ich konnte außerdem an dem interessanten Konversionsprojekt der zivilen Nutzung der Ermekeilkaserne mitarbeiten. Durch diese Erfahrung habe ich viel über Kommunikation und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit gelernt. Mit viel Unterstützung habe ich kleine, informative Filme mit Interviews gedreht sowie Logos und Plakate für Kampagnen grafisch bearbeitet.
Durch meinen Aufenthalt in Deutschland habe ich viel gelernt. Ich habe neue Fähigkeiten erworben, die ich bei meiner zukünftigen Arbeit in Italien nutzen kann, und gleichzeitig habe ich mein Deutsch verbessert. Was meine Erfahrungen jedoch am stärksten geprägt haben, sind die Menschen, die zu diesem Erleben beigetragen haben: die Gesichter meiner Zeit in Bonn 2014.

Shooting Week
At last shooting week has arrived and ready or not, all of the students must begin the process of filming for their documentaries. For the next ten days each of us will be traveling all over Europe to capture the essential footage that will ultimately become our films. Some of the films require more legwork than others, and for these, we each have to help each other out. I went with my brother to Spain to assist him with his project.
Upon exiting the plane at the Bilboa Airport, we were greeted with an unexpected summerlike heat. Wrapped in our warm coats and scarves, we quickly shed our extra articles before jumping into a taxi that would bring us to our first hotel. Along with us came one of the AIB student workers, Maren, who was thankfully fluent in Spanish. The subject of my brother's documentary, a Basque artist and sculpture, would not be greeting us on our first day which left us some time to scout around. The most popular of the artist's work is in the Bosque de Oma, a nearby forest, and involves a series of living paintings that appear to take form as you walk through the colorful trees. Unfortunately, to get to these paintings, you first had to hike for at least 40 minutes. This may seem like a small feat, but throw 50 lbs. of camera equipment on top of it and it becomes quite a challenge. On the brighter side, we managed to scout our location with sunny skies and very few technical problems.
The second day we met our subject. His three assistants picked us up at our hotel and brought us to the beautiful countryside where the artist and his wife lived. He invited us inside for coffee and after talking for about an hour, we began to prepare the interview. It was difficult to find the perfect spot. At first we thought it'd be best to film it in his studio, but we decided that the art would distract too much from the artists words. We settled to film it in his living room instead. It was clear that the artist and his wife were not so used to being filmed. In the middle of the interview his wife insisted on turning the lights off in the background. Because I couldn't speak Spanish, I could only hope that my frantic flailing was not so distracting while the subject recounted one of his stories to the interpreter. There were always going to be unforeseen problems while filming, but I had never expected the interviewee to remove his microphone while we were filming.
Despite some issues, our kind hosts were nice enough to take us to din-ner afterwards. They insisted that we try the traditional foods in the region which included squid soaked in "ink" sauce and the "fresh" cod that you had to chew for at least a minute before you could even consider swallowing it. Luckily for us, the Basque wine proved to be just as delicious as its creators boast.
Our last day was spent hiking once again through the forest. Which meant, after waking up at 6 am, another 40 minute hike with all of our camera gear. This proved to be a very good idea because after we had finished filming amongst the quiet, peaceful trees with pleasant weath-er, torrents of crowds began to arrive and along with them steady drops of rain. Of course, not everything went as we had planned, but things went well enough that a strong documentary will come out of it.

Let's Talk about the DOK!
Despite the fact that we spent the majority of our four days in Leipzig inside movie theaters, I feel our group left Leipzig feeling like they'd gained a whole lot of life experience. For me the Leipzig DOK festival revealed many eye opening stories to me, while also helping me improve as a documentary filmmaker. Through out the course of the three days most of us watched a total of around eight films. All of the films I saw were amazing, and they showed me that a story can be shown in many different ways.
In order for a documentary to be good, the cinematography does not have to be stunning with shallow depth of field and fiery sunsets in every shot. In fact most of the really good documentaries I saw, were shot with hand held cameras, that didn't make the subjects look like Victoria's Secret Models, but rather showed them as they actually are, which is human. Another thing I learned is that its much more interesting to watch someone doing something or living the story rather than watching an interview where they recap a story.
So trying to make our documentaries so they are happening as much as possible in the present, we learned, is very important.
A lot of what I learned at the DOK festival helped me with the actual filming of my doc. After each film played, we could hear the directors talk. All of the directors talked about their personal relationships with their documentary subjects, and how before filming it is important to have trust with your subject. However, during the filming process it is also important to make yourself seemingly not there when the camera is on so as to really capture the moment. This helped me a lot during the filming of my documentary about the Vegetable Orchestra.
I spent a lot of time just hanging out with them and talking to them before turning the camera on. However, once the camera was on I tried to make myself invisible.
One of my favorite films, that most of our group also watched was called Toto and his Sisters. Toto and his sisters was a phenomenal film about an impoverished family that lives in Romania and whose lives have been destroyed by heroine. In particular the film follows the charismatic, optimistic and adorable eight-year-old boy Toto. Toto and his sisters have a father who left them years before and their mother is in prison serving time for drug trafficking. The family lives in a one room apartment, if it can even be called an apartment. They have no bathroom, no running water, no shower, no kitchen and one couch that is used as a bed by all three of the siblings. The film covers their struggle to survive in the mess that is their life.
This documentary was done wonderfully, the film maker was able to capture the endearing childhood hope of Toto who remained positive despite his growing up in adversity. The filmmaker was asked how he was able to sit back and watch things like Anna suffering, and Toto playing with needles without interfering. He said that as a film maker it was more important for him to tell the story than put down his camera and help because in the grand scheme of things his documentary would help more by raising awareness about the subject. Being able to sit back and not interfere is a very important skill in documentary film making.
My other favorite film was a lot less tragic and dark. It was about the theory of six degrees of separation. A Polish film crew had random people select random numbers and letters from a bingo ball roller. They asked six people to carry out very specific tasks that would lead them to their ultimate goal of creating a web separated only by six degrees.
The filmmakers spent two weeks with each one of the six people they met and then at the end of each two weeks they would have that person call another person that might lead them closer to their goal. The movie was not just about the theory but also about the personal relationships and details of the lives of each one of the six people. What was even more fascinating were the stories of each one of the six people that were revealed in this documentary.
Not only were we extremely inspired by the Leipzig DOK festival, and filled with ideas for our own documentaries, but we also got experience mingling and talking to producers and directors at the lounge parties each night. We were able to meet some of the directors of the films we had seen, and ask them for advice about our own documentaries. It also didn't hurt that the treats they served there were delicious!

Speed Dating or Composer Pitch?
"Fill out your bio's and at the end of this you guys can't leave this room until each of you has been matched." Sounds like a speed dating event or something right? Wrong… A vi-tal part of our documentary process is the music that is going to back our stories. Music can create the mood of a film, shape the audiences attention and feelings, establish the time and space of a story, reveal character, create tension or a plot twist… So many crucial and important things come from the music of a film; that it makes perfect sense when going to pick a composer for our documentaries it was treated like a match.com date night. Two weeks before this event, the film group and students from the Musicube Academy met to hear each of us film student's documentary pitches. Musicube is a film score composition production academy, based here in Bonn and actually at the AIB too. This first meeting was a piece of cake for us. We have been pitching these documentaries since our first weekend in Eifel. It was our second meeting, the pairing, that really got us nervous. On this day each composer from Musicube played three minutes of his or her work along with visual images they thought their music would match well to. Adven-turous music to mountain ranges, epic music to churches, and even hip hop beats to city skylines were shown.
Going into the pitch, many of us were nervous and thinking "how is someone going to make music that's going to match my topic of Burlesque dancing… or Swordsmithing… or Animal Shelters… or even a Vegetable Orchestra?" But much to our surprise the composers showed an incredible range of music that could be paired to each of our unique stories. After the composers showed their talents, the awkward part came. Feelings from our first high school dance started lurking beneath us. "Do I go talk to that guy? I really liked his songs. I think he wants to work with someone else though… I should just go over there. Shouldn't I? No… I don't know…" All of these thoughts came rushing when our directors announced it was time to find a match. But eventually the nerves subdued and connections were made. The communication between the composers and us was really enlightening; as for the first time someone really understood the message we're trying to portray and even knows how to do so through music. At the end of the meeting each of us walked away with something. We gained experience in net-working and a very important newly created partnership that will be shown in our final documentaries.

Light Me Up
"Let's make it a noir!"
"Let's make it a western!"
Let's make it this, let's make it that. We had lights, and we had an expensive camera. All we had to do was create the scene. Personally, this was my first experience lighting a set with the amount of equipment we had my excitement fed off of the other's. Our equally excited cinematography professor, Jens arrived early to Cologne rented, picked up the gear and trucked it south to Bonn. All for us! I will admit, the opening lecture was complicated. It covered the most technical components of lighting, down to the equation to calculate the correct wattage one will need for lighting. In spite of the confusion, he motivated us right from the start. The first lecture started to make sense as he urged us to figure out which light to use where.
Sam Zook and myself decided to share the role of key grip. We reported to our Director of Photography, who in this case was also Jens. He mostly gave us pointers that allowed for more creativity on our part. It was a ton of fun deciding how to light the scene. Collectively we decided to set up a noir scene. Using the passion Jens imbued us with, we created a beautifully moonlit scene using 100 Watt Fresnel Lens light. Essentially it was the best light we had that could sufficiently mimic moonlight sneaking into a window. Next, we were charged with lighting the interior. The key grip role shifted to another pair of students who decided to give the room a midday feel. Far different that what Sam and I set up, but an invaluable learning experience none the less.
After a day of lighting a scene multiple ways we were ready to take the fresh skills and apply them on the set of an actual shoot. With our C300 camera and myriad of lights, filters, and stingers we set to work building up a fancy set inside an elevator. The coolest thing about this shoot is we all had an opportunity to pick a job and try it. I got to direct, act as assistant camera, and your good old best boy. Directing a full crew was certainly a challenge, but Jens had great vision and was able to help me and the other students along the way. I had never been an AC before, but always thought of it as such an unsung hero, or underdog-y type of job. The key responsibilities I had as AC was two fold: I was St. Peter of the camera. The DP was God and she hired me to guard the pearly gate that was the very, very expensive camera. Second, I had to maintain the focus of the camera. That job itself included little miniature jobs like racking in and out of focus from focal point to the next.
Everyone got the chance to try brand new things and we all learned so much. The confidence I got from those two days alone was truly immense. Two days of total immersion into totally new crew positions really pays off. And, we have a great little product to show for it.

Mainz Excursion, New Europe Program
On November 13th, the students of the New Europe Program traveled to Mainz, Germany.
First, we visited the New Synagogue to marvel the unique architecture inspired by Leibeskind and to learn about Jewish-German history. Its unique form is ultra modern yet the individual letter components are ancient. The Sanctuary faces East towards Jerusalem and the dawning of a new day, thus symbolizing a new beginning and faith in the future.The new Jewish synagogue and community center exemplifies the revivification of Jewish life in Mainz.
Then, we went on a walking city tour to see the Cathedral and learn more about the history of Mainz, the second oldest city in Germany. The Cathedral represents the high point of Romanesque cathedral architecture in Germany. During World War ll, Allied bombing of Mainz destoryed 80% of the city, but the cathedral was left almost entirely unharmed.
After the city tour, we were guided through the Gutenberg Museum, one of the oldest museums of printing in the world, to learn about the beginning of the mass production of books and the printing press.
Having delicious sandwiches were a perfect way to end a fantastic excursion to Mainz!

AIB student film showing at Berlin International Short Film festival!
Here is what AIB 2013 film alumni Christopher Helkey had to say about his week at the Berlin International Short Film Festival:
"The Berlin International Short Film Festival was an amazing experience. It was right in the heart of down town Berlin at the Babylon Cinema. It was awesome and inspiring to watch some of the best short films from around the world. The festival ran for one week and there was 10 blocks of films that all together totaled around 50 short films. I was lucky enough to have been able to attend every block of films. The talented German composer Steven Settinger who created the music for my film was able to meet me in Berlin and attend the screening with me. The films ranged from short documentaries all the way to intense mystery dramas and horror films. The only limitation for these films was they had to be under the 50 minute time limit.
I felt very honored that my short documentary "The Magic Moment" was selected as one of the films for the Berlin Short Film festival! I made the film well studying abroad in Germany and I felt very blessed to be able to go back to Germany and attend the festival.
It was amazing to see my film play on screen in Berlin. The film was received very well by the audience in the screening. Meeting the other directors and filmmakers who had produced such great films was a very important part of the festival. I met many great filmmakers and made many great connections through the festival. The screenings would happen at night from around 6pm to 9pm. And afterwards I would go out into the city with some of the other filmmakers. It was interesting and fun to meet and talk about filmmaking with filmmakers from other countries. The whole experience was both amazing and professionally rewarding."
Here is a link to some photos from Berlin:
After making the video public a week ago right before Christopher left Bonn it had gotten over 90 thousands views online. Many major online sites have done articles about it. Here is one of those articles:
and here is the link to his film:
Christopher was also contacted by a producer at WGN-TV Morning News in Chicago who is going to air part of the film!!

Rhine and Dine
The Rhine Cruise morning began like all mornings seem to begin here in Germany: frigid and early. Our bus dropped us off in a tiny village along the Rhine River that resembled the Eiffel in a lot of ways with its medieval style buildings and cobble stone streets. We stopped at a little bakery before embarking on the boat, and our Professor Mikael Kreuzriegler generously bought our group a bunch of jelly filled donuts, that we gorged on. By the time we stepped on the boat we looked like a group of jelly donuts ourselves with the amount of sugar we had coating our clothing and faces.
The Rhine cruise, was worth it despite the torrid weather and provided us with a picturesque view of the rustic castles, vineyards, churches, and medieval homes dotting the hills along the river. Our group sat in lawn chairs on the deck of the cruise and taught each other how to use the different settings of our camera to achieve the ultimate photo. We talked about our documentary plans and the amount of unexpected cultural differences we had experienced in Germany so far. Everything felt surreal as we glided past castles and archaic buildings on the Rhine, which looked like a ribbon of sky next to the green hills. We got off at our "port" in another little village, where we ate lunch. We enjoyed a traditional German meal of Schnitzel and fries, which we've all grown quite accustomed to. We were feeling rather lethargic after the relaxing meal and amiable conversation. However, this feeling lasted only a short while, after all what is a German excursion without a treacherous hike up to the top of a castle?
After lunch Olaf Brodersen rounded us up and marched us up an endless set up steep stone stairs. When I say marched, I do mean he marched to the top, while others of us dwindled along and used the "picture taking excuse" to catch our breath along the way. When we got to the top of the hill, the castle very much resembled the castle from our excursion to the Eiffel except this one was particularly striking because you could look over the wall of the castle and see a view of the Rhine River and all the buildings scattered around it. Our group took this opportunity to take a plethora of Gopro selfies with the epic background behind us, which made for some like worthy profile pictures later. We then toured the castle lead by our very knowledgeable tour guide who once again reaffirmed us in our belief that living in 2014 is far better than living in 1514. We were taken to the torture chamber where we learned about some of the atrocious torture and punishment techniques used on people who broke laws in and around the castle. One punishment, for example, was when a woman was caught committing adultery she would have to wear a metal mask that resembled the snout of a pig. When she would put it on it would pull her head down forcing her to crawl on all fours like a pig would. Ironically after most of the girls in our group heard this form of punishment we snorted, like pigs, with disgust. After browsing the gift shop we made our way back down to the bus, feeling a bit conflicted about our next activity, which involved cheese tasting. It felt a little strange to be on our way to celebrate Germany's cheese after seeing images of people being stretched to death.
Nevertheless we made our way back down and loaded back on to the bus. To a couple of the students dismay, myself and some other girls in our group decided to convert our bus into a musical theater production on wheels by singing the entire soundtrack from Wicked all the way to the cheese dairy.
When we reached the cheese dairy we got off the bus buzzing with noise, half of us humming to Wicked, the other half groaning at the humming. Our tour of the cheese dariy was very interesting we were lead through the basement past barrels and barrels filled with cheese that was far older than us. We learned about the tradition of German Cheese Princesses.
This is a German tradition similar to Miss America, only the Cheese Princesses actually knows how to find Africa on a map and not only that but they have to be extremely educated on the subject of their region's cheese. Once a Cheese Princess is elected from each one of the regions along the Rhine River, one will become the German Cheese Queen through a series of competitions. If a princess is crowned Queen she will travel all over the world and try and educate people about German cheese, so lets hope she can find Africa on a map! We learned about the process of making cheese and that German cheese is so unique, because the soil by the Rhine contains certain nutrients that give German cheese its exclusive flavor. German cheese making and German cheese festivals are a huge part of the German culture and have been prevalent in Germany since the days of castles and metal pig masks as a form of torture. People used to eat more cheese than water back in the early centuries because the water was dirty and the cheese was delicious. They would go through several kilos per person a day. We left the cheese diary and got back on the bus and made our way down the street to another cheese diary.
Here we enjoyed a delicious, and romantically lit meal, surrounded by candles in a quaint stone room. Laughing and conversing was a great way to end the day.
On the bus ride home we were a full-fledged Broadway musical.
We arrived back in Bonn slightly buzzed and exhausted, but it was the good kind of tired, the kind of tired one feels after a productive day.

The IBC in Amsterdam
On Saturday September 13th, the group woke, met at the Bonn Hauptbahnhof and boarded an early train to Amsterdam - all in the name of film.
While this city is known as the party capital of Europe, our group had much more important intentions. We were there to see, "the essential global meeting place for everyone engaged in creating, managing and delivering the future of electronic media and entertainment technology and content," or the IBC.
This quote, taken directly from the International Broadcasting Convention website is the best way to compass the tradeshow that IBC is. Companies, businessmen, students, and technology lovers from all over the world flock to the RAI convention center to showcase and learn about the latest and greatest technology, and we were a part of the crowd! Specializing in technology ranging from cameras, to video chat services, to software, to projections, to satellites and everything in between, the IBC is extremely popular and brings very well known companies like GoPro, Cannon, Red, Sony, Adobe and many, many more together. This was an absolute heaven for us film lovers and industry aspirers.
At the convention we were able to attend seminars on things like the latest editing software, learn from the company's representatives themselves in detail about the technology, and hands on try out and experiment with all of the products!
The last aspect was probably the most exciting part about the entire visit. We were able to explore the tradeshow, find exhibits of some of our favorite technologies and then actually use them. We got to try on steady cams, operate drones, and even practice on Red and ARRI cameras that movies like The Social Network, Gravity, and Gone Girl have all been shot on.
One of the most memorable experiences was after the ARRI presentation, we ran into guest speaker Phedon Papamichael. Now to many people, a name like "Papamichael" sounds like a fictional character; however, to us he is very, a very important person! Papamichael is an incredibly talented and renowned cinematographer known for films like "The Pursuit of Happiness" and "Sideways." This was the cherry on top of an already amazing experience! We were completely starstruck when we got to meet him, but he was a really awesome guy and took some time to talk to us about his methods for lighting, setting up shots and his opinions on cinematography related topics. We even got some pictures with him, too!
Attending the IBC was a once in a lifetime experience and it really let all of us "nerd out" about the equipment that makes our passions come to life. We came back to Bonn the next evening with so much experience and knowledge about the industry, the products, and the direction the future of technology is heading; also with a great story of meeting one of the top cinematographers of our time.
Not only did we have an unforgettable experience that made us realize how incredibly lucky we are, but it made us very excited for our futures in the film field.

The Narratives
The first major keystone of our experience here in Bonn is without a doubt the Narrative Projects.
Within the first weeks in Germany, we as a group decided on four scripts, written by four of our own students to be made into films. After several weeks of instruction on directing, lighting, cinematography, we were ready to begin the process of turning these screenplays into reality.
Castings were exciting days for everyone. Dozens of German actors revel at the fact that they have the chance to be in a film made by a "Los Angeles Filmmaker".
As the casting calls were set up, the four separate teams of filmmakers ready themselves for a series of auditions. One performer after another gave their rendition of the characters that we had laid out on paper. An experience that would normally be very stressful was surprisingly exciting and educational. Most of us had never experienced a casting call with so many options and with actors so motivated to become the character you created. By the end of the week, the choices were made, and it was time to move on to shooting.
The next few weeks were stressful. The various group's producers were frantically trying to organize call sheets, props, and transportation for the shooting days. Meanwhile, the directors and cinematographers worked out a shot list and style for the film. Everyone's job was important. Some people were prepared for their duties; others had never done them before.
I was the director of the film called "Sight Seeing". This was a charming story about a clever food stand owner who beguiles a group of tourists into buying his food. The objective was simple enough, but the actuality of shooting this film was astounding. There are always going to be problems that you can never predict will happen on a film shoot, and this project was no exception. We had only one filming location, but this may have already been a grave mistake. The Bonn University building, our establishing shot, had a beautiful cinematic look to it; however, the amount of foot traffic it received was infuriating to say the least. While I struggled to get the shots I needed, my sound guy was getting a headache from all the bikes, planes and sirens ruining our takes. My script supervisor was acting as a human barrier to prevent people from walking into the scene, and my very pale actor was beginning to look like a lobster in the scorching sun. Some people were saying that it was the hottest day Germany ever had in September. By the end of the first shooting day, everyone was exhausted. Personally, I thought it went rather well.
The second day proved to be more efficient. The "first day jitters" were gone and the crew was much more acclimated to their roles. The hard part was over, now we could start being real filmmakers. Despite completely different lighting conditions, broken props, and a lack of extras, the crew was able to pull together and get the shots we needed. At one point, we had the producers, the cameraman, and even the director acting as extras in the film.
Perhaps we could have done things a little differently or planned a little better, but everyone there that day learned what it takes to be on a film set and the challenges you face. Now all that's left was to bring the film to the big screen.

Tata Steel understands that Steel is one of the central pillars of a green economy, in which economic growth and environmental responsibility are mutually dependent.
Recycling is especially important in a green economy because it conserves valuable resources. Steel in itself is 100% recyclable. Once produced, its life-cycle is potentially endless. A patron of environment sustainability and conservation, Tata Steel ensures its products and processes are environment friendly. The Company offers innovative product solutions using carbon efficient technologies and processes that are in line with the Company's vision of making the planet greener. Towards this vision, Tata Steel continuously supports its customers in proper usage and disposal of finished goods.
Few of the recent initiatives by Tata Steel in this direction include:
Galvano: Tata Steel's zero spangled galvanized products (Galvano) are coated in a lead-free coating which is eco-friendly. Trivalent Chrome passivation is also offered as per the customer's requirements.
Nest-in housing solution: The Nest-in housing solution by Tata Steel is made of cold rolled high strength steel sections and is an excellent building solution which does not pollute the environment like cement & brick in the conventional RCC. It does not require any welding, cranes or usage of water, therefore making the construction pollution free and environment friendly.
The Nest-In Bio-toilet: This is an integrated solution, commercialised in FY 13, made up of a Bio-toilet system and Nest-In super structure. The bio-toilet system is developed under license from DRDO. The Bio digester disposes human waste in 100% eco-friendly manner and generates colourless, odourless water and inflammable gas.
ReadyBuild Cut & Bend rebar (CAB) products: To its retail consumers, the Company offers ready to use Cut-And-Bend rebars to eliminate difficult and labour intensive task at site. This initiative helps in reducing GHG emission due to reduction in scrap.
Fe600: Marketing of 40mm Rebar, Fe600 rebar has resulted in reduction in specific steel usage compared to 32mm rebar & Fe415 / 500 grades of rebar. This also leads to a reduction in GHG emission.
Fe500/Fe550D: The consumption of Fe 500 is 15% lower than Fe 415 rebar, resulting in reduction of overall steel consumption in the infrastructure sector. This effectively reduces GHG emission and conserves natural resources.
Super Ductile Rebars: Super ductile - earthquake resistant rebars ensure safety even during a major earthquake. New Corrosion Resistant Steel (CRS) rebar developed by the Company have higher corrosion resistance quality.
LCWR: Tata Steel's superior quality Low Carbon Wire Rods have helped customers to shift from the "Acid Pickling" process before wire drawing to only "Mechanical De-scaling". By using this improved product, customers are able to save approximately Rs.800/ t.
High Strength C-Mn 440 Steel: Development of this product has helped in light-weighting of cars, leading to low carbon usage in lifetime of vehicle and also increasing the fuel efficiency to a great extent. This also helps in localisation of the grade for the Automotive OEMs.
VAVE (Value Analysis / Value Engineering) Programme: Based on its expertise on automotive steels, Tata Steel (R&D, Technology Group, Operation Managers and Sales Manager) works with Customer teams to generate ideas on steel usage in a vehicle with an aim to reduce cost and weight of the vehicle. These ideas not only reduce cost but also reduce GHG emissions through the life cycle of the vehicle.
Replacing wood as packaging materials: Tata Steel has completely replaced wood by recyclable and reusable EPS saddles for stuffing export containers. This is the first time an Indian Steel maker has used recyclable material for stuffing containers. This move has resulted in savings of 50 m (linea) of timber per container. It has also increased the efficiency by increasing the container floor area, allowing for a significant savings in freight costs.
In addition to the above initiatives, Tata Steel has also installed a Rain Water Harvesting System (RWHS) with zero discharge facility at the Faridabad stockyard. Similar system is also being planned at Chennai, Kanpur and Ludhiana stockyards. At the same time, by using transparent sheet in the roof, Faridabad stockyard has reduced the electricity consumption by 80%. Similar plans are also there for Chennai and Kanpur stockyards. Also, Tata Steel has used Fly Ash Bricks instead of fire clay bricks for new constructions at the stockyards as the former are environment friendly.

Neil Lennon rejected big money offer to become Hibernian manager
Neil Lennon has revealed he knocked back a lucrative move abroad for the security on offer at Hibernian.
Press Association Sport understands the former Celtic boss was considering a big-money move to China.
But while he was tempted by the opportunity and riches available in the Far East, he opted in the end for the safeguards placed on offer from Easter Road chief executive Leeann Dempster.
Lennon, 44, told Press Association Sport: "I had opportunities abroad and they were appealing.
"But you don't know what you are going into at times and here I have stability.
"In the end I decided I liked Hibs more. I think it's a good fit for me. The facilities, the infrastructure and speaking to Leeann convinced me it was the right thing to do.
"I've got big shoes to fill after what Alan Stubbs did here with the Scottish Cup win but historically it is a fine club and I think it should be higher up than it is now."
Lennon says his first act as Hibs boss will be to try and persuade John McGinn and Jason Cummings that their futures lie in Leith.
Dempster says the Easter Road outfit have shown their ambition by luring the former Celtic boss to the capital but the Northern Irishman knows his job will be made significantly harder if he cannot keep hold of his highly-rated youngsters.
Both McGinn and Cummings played key roles for Hibs as they helped end the club's 114-year wait for Scottish Cup glory last month but the thought of another season in the Ladbrokes Championship following their failed promotion bid is unlikely to hold much appeal.
But Lennon said: "John and Jason are excellent players who have just had terrific seasons.
"They are vital to what I want to do so I'd like to sit down and speak to the both of them.
"I'm hoping they will see things my way and want to stay for a while."
But he admits it is unlikely Anthony Stokes will be checking in for a second Easter Road stint, despite Celtic releasing the striker on Wednesday.
Lennon signed the Irishman - who spent the second half of last season on loan with Hibs, scoring two goals in their cup final triumph over Rangers - during his spell as Hoops boss back in 2010 but is doubtful he will be linking up again with the 27-year-old again.
He said: "If I could get him here it would be fantastic but I think that may be beyond us in terms of finances."

Thanks for helping us sort this video!
Thanks for helping us associate the correct Pornstars to this video!
Aiutaci: queste pornostar appaiono in questo video?
Pornstar Name:
Super hot - she's gorgeous. Great smile. and I love those big nipples. great blow job. always nice when the guy doesn't have to finish himself off!
her clips are so real! she isnt very hot, sexy or beautiful , but she works hard!
Baaaaaaaaaad acting woman
Sorry, honey, but we aren't taking applications from cum-dodging women who pull their mouths AWAY from a man's dick when he gets close to cumming and then use every slick wiping trick in the book to keep so much as a drop of it entering her mouth even by accident, no matter how attractive and sexy they think they are. NEXT!
Thanks Colonel and kind of to you to Gosepe lol And sorry Swallow, I'm not taking applications for whiney trolls that complain about free porn, so move on to the next video to try and fill that lonely empty hole in your heart and cock. NEXT! ;)
Then as men continue to encounter women who think a handjob IS blowjob, who think spitting cum out of her mouth IS the same as swallowing, you can pride yourself in having been part of the problem rather than part of the solution all along. We are exposed to pay site ads all over this site, just like "free" broadcast television has exposed us to commercials for decades. Are you suggesting no critic should have been reviewing television programming on the basis of quality all these decades because, after all, those television shows were "free"? See how silly your objection to my post was?
hahahahahah che pisellino ....
...Mom... Why do you keep'on doing this??? Me and daddy are heartbroken... please come home!!!
There's very few women I would like to lick my sperm off their face, but she's one of them. I think she would make me bust a massive warm load of seed

It's happened. New York City has banned trans fat in restaurants. Corn cobs everywhere are furious, but we think it's pretty cool. Of course, it would be better if restaurants did this of their own accord; legal intervention is never as inspiring. But we'll take it!

1 Comment on "Trans Fat in NYC: Update!"
While it's reassuring to know I wouldn't get any trans fats if I ate in a restaurant in NYC, what will happen if they decide they need to ban all fats and cholesterol (or put a limit), too, and I can't go into a restaurant and get a nice low carb meal of steak, hamburger or eggs. And then what if they decide to do the same for grocery stores? Fats are such an important part that I worry that the trans fat ban is just the beginning.

Cooler weather aids fire-fighters in South East
Fire agencies are monitoring a series of bushfires in the State's south-east today.
The National Parks and Wildlife Service is working on two fires in the Big Jack Mountain area in the South East Forest, and another east of Bombala.
A new bushfire was detected yesterday in bushland, at Oulla Creek, about 14 kilometres west of Moruya, in the Eurobodalla.
Rural Fire Service spokesman, Andrew Stark, says people should be on the alert during the storm season.
"There is a chance still those lightning strikes from around the weekend may be smouldering away," he said.
"If people see smoke they should report that immediately to triple Zero and people need to be aware that the good rainfall that we've had recently quickly evaporated by the hot, windy days.
"The bushfire danger will increase as we move towards Christmas."
Fires started by lightning at Goodenia Ridge, near Wyndham, and in the Nadgee State Forest, south of Eden, are being controlled.
On the Monaro, a fire in the Merriangah area, west of Bombala, has been extinguished.

The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Baltimore Ravens 31-24 at Heinz Field on Saturday in an AFC divisional playoff game.
The second-seeded Steelers moved on to play in the AFC championship game on Jan. 23.
The Steelers outscored their AFC North rivals 24-3 in the second half after trailing by 14 points at halftime.
Look back on the updates that USA TODAY's Sean Leahy provided on the game below.
It was overcast and 36 degrees in Pittsburgh at gametime, with the wind chill making it feel like 26. But the snow that was in the forecast never developed.
8:00 p.m. ET: Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger kneeled down on the final two plays to clinch a 31-24 win.
7:58 p.m. ET: The Steelers stopped the Ravens on four downs, as Baltimore turned the ball over on downs at its own 44-yard line with 1:03 left. The stop was highlighted by a sack of Joe Flacco for an 8-yard loss on third-and-10 and a drop by WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh -- on a ball that would have been a first down -- on fourth down.
7:52 p.m. ET: With 1:33 left, Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall scored on a 2-yard TD run to give Pittsburgh the lead. Steelers OT Chris Kemoeatu was flagged for unnecessary roughness after the play, which will push the kickoff back 15 yards. Steelers 31, Ravens 24
7: 43 p.m. ET: On third-and-19, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger connected with Antonio Brown on a 58-yard pass to set up first-and-goal at the Ravens' 4-yard line. The 2-minute warning occurred after the play with 1:58 left in the game.
7:32 p.m. ET: Ravens K Billy Cundiff booted a 24-yard field goal with 3:54 left to tie the game. (This could be the first game played under the NFL's new postseason overtime rules.) Steelers 24, Ravens 24
7:28 p.m. ET: Ravens PR Lardarius Webb appeared to return a Steelers punt 55 yards for a TD with 5:55 left, but a holding penalty nullified the score. The Ravens took over on the Steelers' 29.
7:22 p.m. ET: The Steelers forced a Ravens punt on the next drive and took over possession with 7:34 left on their own 12-yard line.
7:12 p.m. ET: Steelers K Shaun Suisham booted a 35-yard field goal with 12:15 left to play to capitalize on another Ravens turnover. Steelers 24, Ravens 21
7:08 p.m. ET: Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger ran for 2 yards on a QB sneak on fourth-and-1 at the Ravens' 14 to pick up a first down.
7:01 p.m. ET: Ravens QB Joe Flacco lost a fumble after the snap that Pittsburgh's Brett Keisel recovered at the Ravens' 23 with 37 seconds left in the third quarter. It was the fifth turnover of the game -- three for Baltimore, two for Pittsburgh.
6:57 p.m. ET: Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger connected with Hines Ward on a 8-yard TD pass with 1:21 left in the third quarter. Ward caught the ball across the middle and fell into the end zone for a score. Steelers 21, Ravens 21
6:53 p.m. ET: Steelers DB Ryan Clark intercepted Ravens QB Joe Flacco at the Baltimore 42-yard line with 3:38 left in the third quarter. Clark returned the pass to the 25-yard line. The turnover came on the first play of a Ravens drive after they were backed up to their 10-yard line by a Steelers punt.
6:32 pm. ET: Ben Roethlisberger threw a 9-yard TD pass to Heath Miller to capitalize on the Ravens turnover. The QB found Miller wide open in the back right side of the end zone. Ravens 21, Steelers 14
6:30 p.m. ET: Fumble: Ravens RB Ray Rice coughed up the football deep in his own end after catching a dump-off pass from Joe Flacco. Steelers DB Ryan Clark dislodged the ball and LaMarr Woodley recovered it at the Ravens' 18.
6:25 p.m. ET: The Steelers had to punt after gaining one first down on their first possession of the second half. Pittsburgh punted to the Ravens' 22-yard line.
6:06 p.m. ET: Halftime. The Ravens took a knee on the final play of the first half to enter the locker room with a 21-7 advantage.
6:05 p.m. ET: Pittsburgh's Shaun Suisham missed a 43-yard field goal with 21 seconds left in the second quarter. It was just his second miss for the Steelers (in 16 tries) since replacing Jeff Reed at midseason.
5:48 p.m. ET: Joe Flacco connected on a 4-yard TD pass to TE Todd Heap with 5:43 left in the first half to capitalize on the Steelers' turnover. Said CBS TV analyst Dan Dierdorf, "I don't know what describes this crowd at Heinz Field more -- stunned or angry." Ravens 21, Steelers 7
5:43 p.m. ET: Pittsburgh's Rashard Mendenhall lost a fumble deep in his own zone on a rush with 8:45 left in the second quarter. Baltimore's Ed Reed recovered the ball at the Steelers' 16-yard line.
5:21 p.m. ET On the second play of the Steelers' drive, Baltimore's Cory Redding returned a Ben Roethlisberger fumble 13 yards for a TD in a strange play that gave the Ravens the lead. Terrell Suggs hit Roethlisberger while the QB's hand was back, and many players likely assumed the play was dead as an incomplete pass. But Redding collected the ball and ran unchallenged into the end zone with 53 seconds left in the first quarter. Pittsburgh challenged the fumble call, but referee Jeff Triplette upheld his call. (The Steelers are now out of challenges after successfully using one to gain back 15 yards on the opening kickoff.) Ravens 14, Steelers 7 (Video: See Redding's TD)
5:13 p.m. ET: The Ravens responded with an 14-yard rushing TD by Ray Rice -- after seven straight passing plays -- with 1:20 left in the first quarter. The score was set up by a 33-yard pass interference penalty on Pittsburgh's Anthony Madison against Ravens WR Derrick Mason at the Steelers' 14-yard line. Steelers 7, Ravens 7
4:56 p.m. ET: Rashard Mendenhall scored on 1-yard run to close an 80-yard opening drive for the Steelers. Pittsburgh WR Hines Ward drew a 15-yard roughing penalty on the opening play. But the drive turned when Baltimore's Josh Wilson was flagged for a 37-yard pass interference penalty to put the Steelers in position for a score. Steelers 7, Ravens 0
4:45 p.m. ET: The Ravens punted on their first drive after the opening kickoff. They got one first down on the drive, but ending up booting the ball into the end zone to give the Steelers the ball at their own 20-yard line.

PELAHATCHIE -- A little trickeration and some guts. The mixture isn't a secret concoction Barrett Donahoe has cooked up in the dark passages of the Heritage Academy field house.
For the West Point High School football team, Friday's game against New Hope was the last regular-season game on the schedule before the playoffs start next week. Even though the Green Wave already had secured first place in Class 5A, Region 1, coach Chris Chambless didn't take the game lightly. Neither did his players.
GRENADA -- Columbus High School football coach Tony Stanford breathed a deep sigh of relief and then smiled like a proud father.
SENATOBIA -- Starkville Academy football coach Jeff Terrill said he'll lose sleep for weeks after one call: The choice to kick the ball to Fernando Van Hook.
STARKVILLE -- Leave it to the Starkville High School football team's defense to seal a crucial win. After all, defense has been the team's calling card this season.
BATON ROUGE, La. -- While a small batch of University of Alabama fans celebrated behind the end zone at Tiger Stadium, A.J. McCarron found his parents at the edge of the stands. He lunged into their arms, his watery-eyed father rubbing his son's hair. McCarron had vowed he wouldn't let his team lose to LSU in the game of the year. The Crimson Tide quarterback was true to his word.
ATHENS, Ga. -- One of Mark Richt's oldest trick plays gave the University of Georgia football team the lift it needed to remain on track for a shot at the Southeastern Conference title.
SCOOBA -- With 21 seconds left in regulation, the Copiah-Lincoln Community College football team was down to one person who could single-handedly beat East Mississippi C.C. Joe Craig did just that.
STARKVILLE -- It has been seven months since Rick Ray was hired as Mississippi State University's 19th men's basketball coach in school history.
STARKVILLE -- Carnecia Williams and Katia May scored 13 points each, and a stifling Mississippi State University defense forced 26 turnovers in a 55-49 exhibition win against Shorter on Friday night at Humphrey Coliseum.
ABERDEEN -- The fourth-seeded Winona High School football team did what only one other team has managed to do this season against Aberdeen High: It scored more than 40 points against the Bulldogs. Unfortunately for the Tigers, the top-seeded Bulldogs did what they have done three times this year: They dropped 52 points or more on an opponent.
When the West Lowndes High School football team learned a playoff spot was on the line in its regular-season finale, there was a change in the team's mood.
CARROLLTON, Ala. -- The Pickens Academy football team celebrated its return to the Alabama Independent School Association football playoffs with a 34-21 opening-round Class A victory against Lakeside Academy.
Apparently punitive remedies are the only ones that work for the Mississippi Department of Education.
OXFORD -- Hugh Freeze is working his turnaround magic again -- this time in the Southeastern Conference.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- A quarterback described as a game manager can often be perceived as someone who's mostly responsible for supervising plays and not making them. Unless the QB is AJ McCarron and he plays for Nick Saban.
Adam Lowrey has watched helplessly as a program he spent five years building has started to fall apart around him.
A victory is all Tony Stanford has on his mind. If the Columbus High School football team (6-4, 3-3 Class 6A, Region 1) can go on the road at 7 tonight and beat Grenada (4-6, 2-4), Stanford won't have to worry about tiebreakers and point differentials.
STARKVILLE -- Jamie Mitchell answered the question was answered before the week started: The Starkville High School football team will play its starters at 7 tonight in the regular-season finale against Neshoba Central.
Neil McGuire has nothing but great things to say about his time at Mississippi State University.

Pet Sitter in Stanton
I grew up around dogs, at one time having up to four dogs in my house. I have tended to all age groups, from puppy to senior dogs. I learned how to tend to disabilities and health problems so I am capable of helping with any medical problem (i.e. medication, special lifting, carrying). I have learned that a dog is not an animal but a family member and should be treated as one. They are special and loving creatures that deserve utmost respect.

Baltimore, Maryland - August 8, 2014- Baltimore Clayworks is proud to announce our next exhibition, Shake it Baby! juried by Lisa Orr and Bryan Hopkins. See artists' interpretations of salt and pepper containers. An abundance of shakers cellars and other dispensers are on display. With such a variety of salts and peppers available today we are showcasing as many different ways of dispensing them. The exhibition runs August 16- September 27, 2014 with an opening reception on Saturday, August 16, from 6 to 8 pm. Admission is free.
As a flavor enhancer and preservative salt has held a place at the table for thousands of years. The spice trade lured ships across the oceans. The word salary is derived from salt and as it was once a rare and precious commodity and used as payment. Salt was a metaphor for love, for it boosts the taste but increases the thirst.
To reflect the importance of salt, receptacles and storage components were often made of gold and encrusted with gems. With reverence to its hallowed past, artist continue to make delivery systems for this now ubiquitous substance that most take for granted.Come and celebrate the artistry, ingenuity and functionality of salt and pepper shakers in our show "Shake it Baby!"
Also on display in our Solo Gallery, 2014 CUP BENEFIT. In this show of over 100 drinking vessels, you will be able to vote on your favorite cup, -giving the artists who donated these pieces an opportunity to win their very own solo exhibition in 2015!
We are also pleased to present Sacred, a solo exhibition by Sallah Jenkins. The exhibition is a collection of figurative sculptures and wall pieces that tell stories from various milestones of her life. The influence of Sallah's African heritage played a significant role in her ceramic work, as it was instrumental in the progression of her artistic awakening. Sallah currently is a ceramics instructor at Baltimore Clayworks and is also participating in a short term residency here.

Find the accountant who best fits your business
If every accountant were a good fit for every small business, choosing one would be a snap. In real life, accountants come with different strengths. Likewise, businesses come with different needs. Some just need an accountant to handle tax returns. Others want the full treatment: taxes, bookkeeping, employee benefits, succession planning and more.
"I wouldn't choose an accountant where a majority of their business is personal income tax returns," said Kevin Manzer, president of carpet cleaning company Always Green Clean. "What's great about my CPA is that he will call me up just to meet for a beer and find out how things are going. While doing that, he becomes a more personal contact."
The California Society of CPAs has an online tool that can help whittle down the list of candidate firms. Go to calcpa.org to find a certified public accountant by types of services offered, by industries served, even by languages spoken.
Then comes the time-consuming part: references and interviews.
"It's all about talking to the people you know and trust. I have some friends who have created some successful companies on their own, and I picked their brains," Manzer said.
Business owners should ask their attorney or banker as well, accountants say, as they all tend to network.
Websites can help, too, if they are done well.
"I have a fairly detailed website that talks about what I do, what services I provide, and the sizes of businesses I work for," said Jill Jacobs, owner of her namesake CPA firm.
Size matters because of what the business can't — or shouldn't — do on its own. For the smallest of businesses, it's a question of handing off chores that would let the owners concentrate more on expanding the company, Jacobs said.
"For larger companies, its a question of whether it is efficient to hire the knowledge you need," she said. It might be worthwhile, for instance, to keep the data entry in-house, but hire an chief financial officer by the hour.
"I haven't seen many businesses supporting a full-time CFO with less than $20 million in revenue," she said.
Manzer has his CPA handle the bookkeeping for Always Green Clean, partly so that the firm will be more familiar with month-to-month operations.
"We are opening another location in Vacaville very soon. I've already heavily relied on advice from my CPA for this upcoming expansion," Manzer said. Because the CPA knows Manzer's numbers, it's easier to offer an opinion on the most efficient way to set up the new location.
How well does the accountant know your field of business? That's important because an accountant should know what kinds of numbers are normal in your line of work.
"The benchmarking becomes critical in understanding not just whether the numbers reconcile, but that they are within reasonable ranges," said Perry Ghilarducci, a CPA and principal with Avaunt Ltd.
Then there's the interview.
"I personally will give just about anybody 30 minutes to an hour of my time if they come to my office," said Donna Sauter, a principal at accounting firm Ueltzen & Co. "If they are not willing to invest the time to get to know you, I think you are setting up for a problem later on."
Bring key documents, pay attention to the accountant's level of comfort with them, and pay attention to your own rapport with the accountant, she said. Fees should be discussed up front but shouldn't be the only element in making a choice.
Also, ask what will happen if the IRS comes knocking some day.
"Some CPAs do a lot of tax controversy work. Others don't. It depends on the complexity of the issues being raised," Ghilarducci said. "We do have a responsibility to our clients. They don't have to hire us to represent them, but we have the ability to go before the IRS and support the tax position taken."
And beware the CPA who never says they'll have to research a subject before providing an answer.
"We all have specialties, and there is no way that any of us knows everything," Sauter said.
Whatever the answers, make sure they are understandable.
"I'm a pretty straightforward," said Chris Schuring, who has started several companies in the Sacramento area. "I tell them, 'It's my money, it's your intelligence. The two have to come together.' If you can't explain it in layman's terms, we aren't going to do business."
Even if your business already has an accountant, it's possible for the relationship to go sour. Your company may grow too big for the accounting firm, or vice versa.
"Some of the key things I am hearing is they don't return the calls, they don't return the emails. That's never a good sign," Sauter said. "I think if you get to the point to where you would not refer your CPA to a friend or colleague, that means you've outgrown them."

Heart attacks hurt. I know this because I had one after learning our government can have sane ideas about technology. My heart swelled three sizes, began beating like a snare drum, and tried to physically attach my lower intestinal tract to my brain stem. I jumped up, clutched my chest, and uttered what I thought were going to be my final pithy words, "Flergle glieman!"
Then I fell over the coffee table, and in a moment of entirely describable tragedy, spilled my scotch tumbler. I wouldn't be writing this now had not my intrepid feline companion, Maginot, been so quick with my home defibrillator and had I not seen, out of the corner of one eye, another headline concerning our government's grasp on tech. The latter brought me and my ailing ticker back to reality. I started breathing normally again, though Maginot zapped me anyway because he'd already set up the defibrillator and didn't want to waste the effort.
What pulped my pump in the first place was Sen. Ed Markey's (D-Ma.) report on the state of cyber safety for both your current car and the self-driving vehicle that Google wants to sell you after it passes a rigorous internal quality test lasting at least 11 minutes. Markey's aides apparently:
- Didn't get a donation check from the automaker's PACs this term
- Saw one of the umpteen YouTube vids showing giggling gaggles of hackers taking control of "connected" cars from their mom's basements, then performing various deeds of mischief
Score one for Sen. Markey
Markey's minions then put one and one together and came up with two -- that is, the report in question, which points out we should be thinking carefully about our new cars' connectivity before trusting our butts and baby seats to them. Sure, it's an obvious point and one entirely behind the curve, but you have to admit it's sane. Think before connecting at 80mph -- so simple, so true, and it came from a politician! Wow, my heart hurts. Hey, back off, Maginot!
The headline that saved my life is the one about Obama's new, me-too, it's-the-next-guy's-problem cyber security agency. Voilà, the backhanded, ineffectual government technology policy we've come to know and depend upon. My heart feels good again. If you missed it -- and I don't see how you could, with the president's PR engine being what it is -- the White House "counterterrorism advisor," Lisa Monaco, announced the new Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center (CTIIC), also known as the Worldwide Anti-mean-stuff Sloth and Tax Escalator (WASTE).
According to Monaco's description, the White House has had enough -- enough, I tell you! -- of the endless stream of high-profile hacks that have been plaguing our wallets and interwebs lo these many years: Home Depot, Sony, Anthem, the list goes on and on. Before he stumbles dazedly out of the White House for the last time, President Obama is determined to leave a none too deep, politically strategic, and wonderfully worthless impression on the state of cyber security today. Enter the CTIIC.
An armada of cyber security agencies
Apparently, Monaco and our current POTUS are of the opinion that we already have too many agencies chasing hackers and seeking to bring them to justice (or at least offer them highly paid consulting gigs.) They cite the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the CIA, and the ever-fuzzy NSA among others. I'd like to take this opportunity to point out to Ms. Monaco and President Obama that they might've misread the agencies' mission statements. Based on the current state of leaked government documentation, these organizations don't chase hackers of illegally garnered data, they are hackers of illegally garnered data.
Be that as it may, the pointy heads of the administrative branch feel the answer to our cyber problems is this new organization billed as an information "aggregator and disseminator." The CTIIC will gather up all the many reams of data generated each day about cyber threats the world over, organize them according to a 16,000-page manual undoubtedly stored in an Access database mirrored on a warehouse worth of unencrypted thumb drives to be left in overpriced rental Town Cars all over the DC area, then distribute that information to frontline cyber warriors working for the various investigative and cyber defensive branches of government, as well as select private sector security firms. Said distribution will happen like greased lightning in accordance with a typical, government-spawned 1,847-branch hierarchical decision tree written in Navajo and authored by a White House intern majoring in experimental anthropology at UConn.
This courageous policy will ensure that buckets, barrels -- nay, Dumpsters' worth of cyber threat analysis, branded with the confidence-inspiring logo of the White House, will reach war-scorched desks one month, or at most three, after it's in any way useful. In case you're worried about money, don't be. Allegedly, the CTIIC will be funded with a whopping $35 million from the 2016 budget or almost double the funding Yo will get in its next VC round and enough to rent DC loft space through next fall … maybe.
Thank you President Obama. You can now say that in your last 10 seconds of office you took concrete, press-conference worthy action to help the state of cyber security without being responsible for any tangible results whatsoever, and at the cost of mere millions to those few of us poor enough to still pay taxes. Brilliant, we are now completely safe. Time to wire the cat.
