Regina Valluzzi
Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Whirlwood was created by glazing thick transparent layers of acrylic media over a simple underpainting of trees and sky. Some of the acrylic layers were tinted to create layers of complex color. Contrasting highlight and detail colors were stroked through the wet glazes with a fine brush. Depending on the medium used to form the glaze, these strokes of contrasting color can be suspended inside the glaze, made to float to the surface forming a raft, or placed near the bottom of the glaze. this behavior also depends on whether the media used glazes dry thick or thin. Media that dry to a thick film, losing much of their volume, were also used to create relief effects. These are effects where the media pulls back from the paint threads as it dries, due to density and viscosity differences.
The layers of media were dried a controlled tilt angles, allowing gravity to pull the threads and streamers of paint brushed into the glazes into curved shapes and whorls.
The final details added were the contrasting tree trunks and leaves. The trunks and branches were applied using paint and media loosely mixed in a pastry bag and extruded through a cake decorating nozzle. The texture of these features was enhanced using a little silicone squeegee brush. The green leaf textures were made using an elastic fluid medium (Golden clear tar gel). The medium was mixed with a small amount of green paint to tint it while retaining translucency. This mixture was dropped with a palette knife and then maneuvered into leafy like shapes and movement using a silicone tipped tool (with a little contrasting paint on it to break up the colored areas).
The overall effect is somewhat like a painting on layers of glass, with a good bit of 3-D depth and color layering both above and below the main surface of the paint film. Unlike layered glass, transparent media allow curved surfaces that intersect in 3-D and meld with the subject much more naturally.

Yep America Totally Favours White People and Discriminates Against Those of Different Races. -_- (and I checked the source and it's true)
There was a great video on this exact topic here. It seems cultural values (like staying in school, having two parents, etc.) is a much better indicator of success than race.
Note to self: Be reborn into an Indian family.
Son of a bitch. Those indians are oppressing us.

Books are my kryptonite. For many months, I drained my "fun money" budget each month on books. I was spending nearly $50 a month on books, most of which have still not been read. I loved having a huge selection when I went to pick out my next book, but grew tired of never having any money for anything else I wanted. There are hundreds of free and discounted books out there, and I had no idea they existed! Over the past year alone, I have purchased more than 109 books and spent a grand total of $241. 47 which comes out to roughly $2 per book. However, out of those 109 books, 81 of them were completely free! If you're a bookworm like me, just looking to get your hands on as many books as you can, here are 10 ways you can get discounted or free books.

The library has thousands of books to choose from, and the best part, they are FREE. If they don't have the book you're looking for in stock, you can ask them to transfer it from a different library! A library card costs you nothing so there really is no downside to having one.
Borrow from Friends and Family

XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) is a declarative, XML-based language used for the transformation of XML documents into other XML documents.
XSLT may also be used to output non-XML data, such as HTML, plain text or binary data, from an input XML document. XSLT is also used to translate XML messages between different schemas, or to format an XML document correctly.
The XSLT processing model involves:
- one or more XML source documents;
- one or more XSLT stylesheet modules;
- the XSLT template processing engine (the processor); and
- one or more result documents.
The XSLT processor ordinarily takes two input documents—an XML source document, and an XSLT stylesheet—and produces an output document. The XSLT stylesheet contains a collection of template rules: instructions and other directives that guide the processor in the production of the output document.
Template rule processingEdit
The XSLT language is declarative—rather than listing an imperative sequence of actions to perform in a stateful environment, template rules only define how to handle a node matching a particular XPath-like pattern, if the processor should happen to encounter one, and the contents of the templates effectively comprise functional expressions that directly represent their evaluated form: the result tree, which is the basis of the processor's output.
The processor follows a fixed algorithm: Assuming a stylesheet has already been read and prepared, the processor builds a source tree from the input XML document. It then starts by processing the source tree's root node, finding in the stylesheet the best-matching template for that node, and evaluating the template's contents. Instructions in each template generally direct the processor to either create nodes in the result tree, or process more nodes in the source tree in the same way as the root node. Output is derived from the result tree.
XSLT uses the halfway-to-even ("banker's") method when rounding fractional numbers to integers.
XSLT and XPathEdit
XSLT relies upon the W3C's XPath language for identifying subsets of the source document tree, as well as for performing calculations. XPath also provides a range of functions, which XSLT itself further augments. This reliance upon XPath adds a great deal of power and flexibility to XSLT.
XSLT 1.0 uses XPath 1.0. Similarly, XSLT 2.0 relies on XPath 2.0; both specifications were published on the same date.
An XSLT stylesheet is an XML document containing the root node
xsl:stylesheet or
xsl:transform (synonymous to each other), where the
xsl namespace is the XSLT namespace defined with the URI
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> ...
A pattern is an XPath expression that matches a corresponding node in the source document.
A template (defined by
xsl:template) declaration contains rules for creating nodes and values such as text and numbers. A template declaration usually has the
match attribute, which contains a pattern to match the template with. Matched nodes on the source document will be evaluated by the contents of the template element to transform into output.

The George A. Ingalls Veterans Memorial Plaza sits within the George Ingalls Equestrian Event Center and has approximately 2 acres dedicated to honor its veteran heroes. The Memorial features a 70 foot flag pole surrounded by a "Circle of Honor" recognizing its current and past veterans and the various military armed services. Included is "Lest We Forget" Columns of distinction honoring those local soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice while in service. The memorial pays honor to George A. Ingalls, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient (posthumously). The glorious facility has an amphitheater and seat walls to seat guests for special military services and those who visit to reflect and pay tribute.
Who is George A. Ingalls?
George A. Ingalls was a Norco resident who died in Vietnam on April 16, 1967 and posthumously received the Congressional Medal of Honor. Army Specialist Ingalls threw himself onto a grenade to save the lives of his squad members. His gallantry and selfless devotion to his comrades were in keeping with the highest tradition of the military service and the United States Army. As a youth, George was involved with local sports, attending Norco Junior High, and Corona High School. Ingalls was also the president of the youth group at the Community Church of Norco. George Ingalls had a sense of loyalty not only to his sports teams, but to his family, his church, his community and his country. Because of his dedication and supreme sacrifice, the City of Norco has named its largest park in his honor, George Ingalls Equestrian Event Center.

Goat meat has arrived and is here to stay. Lean and delicious with a succulent texture, 2017's hottest meat trend is also great for you, containing less fat gram for gram than chicken.

To celebrate our new goat roast we're kicking things off with a sold out masterclass in how to butcher this year's hottest meat, and due to popular demand we have now launched a second butchery masterclass on Sunday 26th February plus you can email email@example.com to book your table and enjoy the Goat Roast any Sunday of your choice without taking part in the butchery masterclass.
Sundays are sorted in true Peruvian style.

Theresa Kerr
Founder and Principal
Theresa Kerr brings a wealth of experience into the Performing Arts industry. For the last Thirty-Five years she has danced her way around the world and choreographed numerous shows for the stage, screen and T.V. Theresa's eclectic training in London, New York and Paris informs her very own jazz style, due to being one of the first practitioners of 'Rock Jazz' which many of her ex-students now teach. The 'Bodywork Warm Up' is now well known in many dance schools and colleges around the globe.
Theresa Kerr founded Bodywork Company Dance Studios in 1981 alongside her late husband Patrick Kerr and together they set Cambridge alight with their 'Saturday Night Fever' Workshops. As a result of the workshops came Bodywork Dance Company which went on to tour the UK, Europe and the Far East. Theresa continued teaching jazz for major Performing Arts colleges in London whilst Patrick was touring with the jazz company.
Theresa and Patrick acquired the present building in 1985 – a former furniture warehouse which was then converted into beautiful dance studios. In 1986 they saw a need for a dance foundation course to prepare students, especially late beginners for full time vocational training. The foundation course grew both in size and success and still runs today alongside the three year Level 6 NQF Diploma course in Professional Dance or Musical Theatre (validated by Trinity College London), the BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Performing Arts, The Theatre School for children aged three to eighteen, and the Adult classes for the community. All of which Theresa is the founder and Principal.
Theresa continues to tutor, inspire and mentor her past and current students with her creative choreography and her vast knowledge of the industry.

Tactics to Promote Euthanasia
Interview With Dr. Margaret Somerville of Montreal
MONTREAL, MAY 20, 2006 (Zenit) - In the battle for the legalization of euthanasia, two tactics used by proponents are redefinition and confusion -- and these point to a larger societal issue, says a Catholic pharmacist-ethicist-lawyer.
Dr. Margaret Somerville, founding director of the Center for Medicine, Ethics and Law at McGill University in Montreal, spoke at the recent annual Seminar on Bioethics sponsored by the Catholic Organization for Life and Family. The seminar focused on euthanasia and end-of-life issues.
In this interview with us, she speaks on the ethical issues at hand and the wider social-cultural implications.
Q: Why is there such pressure to redefine euthanasia, and what would such a new definition entail?
Somerville: Redefinition is a particular strategy to promote euthanasia. It confuses euthanasia with other medical interventions that are acceptable, such as consenting to withdrawal of life-support treatment.
The pro-euthanasia advocates are using the term "physician-assisted death" -- we can all agree we want physicians to care for us when we're dying -- and saying that physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia are just different modes of all such treatment. The common "neutral" phrase is euthanasia's just a "last act of good palliative care" which sounds fine, and many people are buying it as a viable option.
In fact, those who argue for euthanasia are proposing to make a continuum of all end-of-life interventions, and arguing they are all of the same kind, just different in degree. Thus to be consistent we must either accept all of them or reject all of them. No one wants to do the latter -- it could mean not having access to necessary pain relief -- so the only option is to choose to accept everything.
The people who take the other side of the debate state that euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide are different in kind, not degree, from other end-of-life measures.
As to why there are these pressures, at one level it is personal belief in rights to self-determination, a need for control, a reaction after having seen a terrible death, fear of many things, terror management and so on.
Q: What is the implication of the proposed legalization of euthanasia on the greater society?
Somerville: At a more general societal level it is an important battle. In these culture wars we are experiencing, there is a battle about the nature of the societal cultural paradigm, the worldview that should govern us in the future, which new values we should adopt and which older values we should reaffirm as part of it.
There are, I propose, three competing possibilities for this new worldview, each of which has a very different relationship to the new science.
The first is the ''pure science'' view, which takes a position that science does or will be able to explain everything, including those characteristics such as altruism and morality, that we regard as distinguishing us from other animals and most clearly identifying us as human.
It seeks meaning in human life mainly or only through science and, likewise, seeks to exercise control through this. There is no recognized space for the spirit. It supports the view that one's own death is a purely personal matter involving only individual values and preferences.
In contrast, the second view, the ''pure mystery'' view, often decries science or is expressly anti-scientific. This view adopts an intense sanctity-of-life stance, which can be compared to respect or reverence for life, and most importantly, to respect or reverence for death.
For instance, many people who hold this view believe that all medical treatment must be continued until no vestige of life remains. These same people could also have difficulties with providing necessary pain-relief treatment that might shorten life.
The ''science-spirit'' view, the third view, seeks a structure to hold both science and the human spirit. For some people this view is expressed through religion, but it can be, and possibly for most persons is, held independently of being religious at least in a traditional sense.
It recognizes that human life consists of more than its biological component, wondrous as this is. This worldview includes a sense of a space for the human spirit and of the secular-sacred.
It recognizes that human life consists of more than its biological component, wondrous as this is. This worldview includes a sense of a space for the human spirit and of the secular-sacred. Most importantly, it's a bridge between all people who care about being moral and ethical whether or not they religious.
This view experiences our new science as eliciting wonder at both what we know, and, as a result of this, what we now know that we do not know. It seeks meaning through a combination of science and spirit, which could create a different reality from the other two views.
Q: How would legalized euthanasia change the way we understand ourselves and the meaning of human life?
Somerville: We come closer to being disposable products: The attitude taken by some who support euthanasia is, "When we are past our 'best before' or 'use by' date we should be checked out as quickly, cheaply and efficiently as possible."
Q: What elements in Canadian culture contribute to the present conflict over legalizing euthanasia?
Somerville: We run into trouble due to the sole reliance on reason -- especially when we see science as the only way to know, not just one way; intense individualism; loss of a shared religion; and secularism.
Our Parliament and highest courts are the new high cathedrals, while the media in general is expressing approval of euthanasia and disapproval of resisting it. I speak at length on this subject in my book "Death Talk: The Case against Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide."
Q: What suggestions would you make to the average lay person, faced with this issue? Would you encourage people to make a fundamental decision about where they stand on euthanasia?
Somerville: Yes. Ask yourself how you want your great-great-grandchildren to die if we legalize euthanasia now. It radically affects the values, especially of respect for life, that we pass on to future generations.
For those who want to stand up against it, they must make a secular case against euthanasia. They must talk to the people who are not convinced it is a bad idea, not just reassure each other they are correct to be against it, as I find most anti-euthanasia Christians do.
Q: How is confusion used as a means of making a case for euthanasia?
Somerville: If the word "euthanasia" is redefined to contain everything within a continuum of options for dying people, then many will think that everything, including real euthanasia, should be accepted and legal.
People are asked questions in euthanasia surveys that make a clear answer impossible -- for example, Are you for or against euthanasia for dying people who are in terrible pain?
The answer "I'm for all necessary pain relief treatment and against euthanasia" is impossible. Most people will answer "for" -- thereby supporting euthanasia -- because they do not want to be left without pain-relief treatment.
Q: Would you say then that it is a fear of suffering that motivates support for euthanasia?
Somerville: Yes, but to seek control over suffering is also a natural response to it.
We know that suffering is reduced when we feel we have control over it. We look for suffering reduction mechanisms or terror management devices; I think euthanasia is seen as both.
We have intense free-floating anxiety in our societies. We focus on death as the source of our fears. We seek control over those fears by seeking control over death, and that feeling of control reduces our experience of suffering.
What we really need is to search for other ways to reduce fear of dying and death and give a sense of control to people.
What motivates people to consider assisted suicide? Fear of pain, abandonment and being a burden. Sometimes people see physician-assisted suicide as a rational response to those fears.
Sometimes it is depression. But some well-conducted research published in the New England Journal of Medicine found it was a condition the research psychiatrists called hopelessness -- nothing to look forward to -- a condition they differentiated from depression.
Dying people need hope, a sense of connection to the future. They can have this sense even with a very short future to connect to -- for example, looking forward to seeing the sun come up or hearing the birds sing the dawn chorus tomorrow.
As I wrote in "The Ethical Canary": "Hope is the oxygen of the human spirit; without it our spirit (which encompasses the will to live) dies."
