Question: The plaintiff and defendant engaged in phone calls and e mails
The plaintiff and defendant engaged in phone calls and e-mails that unambiguously indicated an intent to be bound to all necessary terms of a transaction. The district court recognized these recorded communications between parties as enforceable contracts, and thus the statute of frauds was inapplicable. When the plaintiff abandoned the deal, the court recognized the plaintiff 's actions as a breach of contract. The plaintiff appealed. The reviewing court disagreed with part of the summary judgment, stating that "a trier of fact could have decided either way on the question of whether the email included an implication that there was a binding agreement that would have been supplemented by customary terms as a mere formality, or whether the parties were only engaged in ongoing negotiations that could have ultimately fallen apart." Further, the reviewing court concluded that the plaintiff did not produce sufficient evidence of industry standards to persuade the court that the disputed e-mail was not definite enough to represent an enforceable agreement. Since the reviewing court found ambiguity in the "agreement" on April 20, the court concluded that the case was not properly resolved at summary judgment; the court stated that "because [the ambiguity] has not been briefed or argued before us, we leave to the good judgment of the district court the issue of whether either side may now demand fact-finding on liability before a jury instead of at a bench trial." The reviewing court concluded that there was no error in the district court's damage award, or the district court's ruling of the inapplicability of the statute of frauds, but that it was up to the district court whether to revisit its findings. The court remanded for proceedings consistent with the court's opinion. If you were the reviewing court, what information would convince you that the agreement between the two parties was an enforceable contract? Why?

Tulsa, Oklahoma - Pepperdine men's tennis players No. 11 Andre Begemann and No. 37 Bassam Beidas advanced to the round of 32 on Wednesday at the NCAA Division I Singles Championships, at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center.
"It was a great day for the Waves," said coach Adam Steinberg. "I think Bassam played a little nervous, yet I was really happy with how he competed. With all the traveling that Andre has done in the past week, I was really proud of how he got through that last set."
Begemann (Blomberg, Germany) defeated Cory Parr (Wake Forest), 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-4.
"I felt a little rusty after not playing for a while," said Begemann. "It was a little difficult to keep my energy up and I felt like my focus was all over the place. I'm ready for the next round."
Begemann struggled in the second set and in the tie breaker, then fought back to win the third set after being up 4-1 and then in a 4-4 tie.
Beidas (Cairo, Egypt) also dealt with nerves and trouble focusing, but eventually went on to defeat Guillermo Gomez (Georgia Tech), 6-3, 7-6 (3).
"The first match was tough for me to focus," said Beidas. "I felt like I slowed down a bit when he started playing well. I definitely didn't feel like I had the focus that I should have."
Thursday (May 22), Begemann faces Cosmin Cotet (Texas Christian University)) at 10 a.m. and Beidas plays Nestor Briceno (University of Florida) at 2 p.m. No. 24 Begemann and Omar Altmann (Cairo, Egypt) meet Austin Krajicek and Connor Pollack (Texas A&M) in the round of 32 doubles competition at 2 p.m.
San Diego freshman Dean Jackson (Soest, Germany), originally tabbed an alternate for the 2008 NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championships, proved he was worthy of a spot in the round of 64 which began today at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center on the campus of the University of Tulsa. Jackson, the 2008 West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year, extended No. 7 seed Lars Poerschke of Baylor three sets before falling 6-2, 2-6, 6-4. Jackson finished out his rookie year with an overall mark of 28-7.
USD senior Thomas Liversage (Johannesburg, South Africa) also dropped his 1st round match, falling to Kaden Hensel of Tennessee, 7-5, 6-4. Liversage finished 15-9 in singles this spring and 24-13 for the school year.
San Francisco's Jennifer-Lee Heinser fell to No. 1 seeded Aurelija Miseviciute, a sophomore from the University of Arkansas in the first round of the 2008 NCAA Women's Tennis Championships at the University of Tulsa on Wednesday afternoon.
Heinser, the first USF Women's Tennis player to ever make the NCAA's, took a 2-6 first set victory before falling 6-3, 6-2 in the final two sets.
Miseviciute moves on to play freshman Taylor Ormond from Baylor.
Heinser earned the chance to play in the tournament after a stellar freshman campaign in which she went 21-3 with victories over four ranked opponents. The Miami, FL native was named West Coast Conference Player of the Year as well as WCC Freshman of the Year.

Are You Ready For Rebreathers?
Their stealth and extended bottom times have made rebreathers popular with military and technical divers for many years. Recently, lower prices and "user-friendly" designs have made rebreathers more attractive to recreational divers like you and me. Indeed, several models are aimed specifically at the recreational market.
Is this the future of diving? Are conventional open-circuit rigs bound for the oblivion of duck fins and two-hose regulators? Are you ready for rebreather diving? Are rebreathers ready for you?
Maybe, no, maybe and maybe. At least that's my guess after spending most of a month studying and diving rebreathers. It turns out they have some very real, valuable advantages over open-circuit, tank-and-regulator systems. But they have some equally real and serious disadvantages too. If you have some unusual needs and are willing to make some sacrifices of time and money, a rebreather can be a godsend. But most divers, for most purposes, will continue to prefer open-circuit scuba for a long time to come.
Why You Might Want a Rebreather
Long dive times. The biggest advantage of a rebreather is gas efficiency. A single fill of a small gas cylinder or cylinders and CO2 scrubber can last for anywhere from one to six hours, depending on which rebreather it is. Unlike open-circuit scuba, your gas duration on a rebreather is nearly independent of depth, so you could, in theory, spend all that time on the bottom.
Of course, a rebreather does not make you immune to DCS and nitrogen narcosis. Those risks remain, though the more sophisticated closed-circuit rebreathers can adjust your gas mix to reduce the DCS risk. The advantage of the rebreather's long duration for most of us is that you can make several dives on one fill of scrubber and cylinders.
Silence. Rebreathers exhaust few or no bubbles. You don't hear that roar of exhaust bubbles, and neither do the fish. That allows you to get closer to marine life, which is why rebreathers are popular with professional photographers and some researchers. You won't be rendered invisible, but you seem to be less alarming to most fish.
Warm, moist breathing gas. The chemical reaction in the CO2 scrubber actually warms and humidifies your breathing gas. Diving with a rebreather does not give you that cotton-mouth feeling and doesn't chill you as much.
Optimum gas mixture. The more sophisticated rebreathers constantly monitor the partial pressure of oxygen in your breathing mix. They can keep your PPO2 constant regardless of depth or exertion, or alter it on the fly for needs like decompression. The benefit can be less nitrogen uptake and faster offgassing–in other words, more bottom time with less DCS risk. Rebreathers are not created equal, however, and the less-expensive designs do not have this ability.
Why You Might Want To Think Twice
A rebreather failure can go unnoticed. When open-circuit regulators fail, it's immediately obvious. Either you get no air when you suck on the mouthpiece or (more likely) you get too much and a sudden rush of bubbles in your face.
When a rebreather fails, the signs, if any, are more subtle. You're still able to inhale and exhale as before because you are just passing the same gas back and forth between your lungs and the breathing loop. The CO2 content in that gas may be rising and the O2 content may be falling, but this won't be immediately apparent without gauges, monitors and alarms. Rebreather diving is like flying on instruments, not by the "seat of your pants."
On the other hand, if you watch your instruments and detect the problem promptly, you'll probably have more time to deal with it on a rebreather than you would on open circuit. You still have gas to breathe, and its oxygen and CO2 content do not change instantaneously.
A rebreather failure can be deadly. A rebreather is constantly mixing the gas in your breathing loop, removing carbon dioxide and adding oxygen. Either component in the wrong proportion is poisonous. Much of the design effort and much of the complexity of rebreathers goes into making that mixing function as accurate and reliable as possible. But it's never going to reach the certainty of open circuit, where what you breathe is simply what went into the cylinder. An open-circuit "bailout" bottle and regulator is a good idea when diving with conventional gear, but it's a must with a rebreather.
Cost, weight, bulk, convenience, etc. These minor factors all weigh against rebreathers. Though the cost to buy one is hardly minor, you're often told that you'll save money on each dive since you don't have to refill tanks as often. But you do have to buy scrubber chemicals, and maintenance will cost more. And will that $60 two-tank dive boat give you a rebate if you don't need to use its tanks? Probably not.
Rebreathers, including the bailout bottle, are generally bulkier and heavier than a single tank and regulator, and they don't fit well into the tank-rack-and-bungee-cord gear station typical on dive boats. Air travel with cylinders can be a challenge and fills for oxygen and even nitrox can be harder to find, especially in remote locations.
The First Steps
Let's say you've considered the pros and cons and decided you want to dive with a rebreather. What's the drill?
First is making the decision of which rebreather to buy. Rebreathers differ considerably in not only price but capabilities, the great divide being whether they are closed-circuit or semiclosed-circuit in design.
Closed-circuit rebreathers have the lowest gas consumption, the best mixture control and, generally, the most capability, but are more complex and expensive. Semiclosed-circuit rebreathers are simple, robust and less expensive, with gas consumption rates somewhere between closed-circuit rebreathers and open-circuit scuba.
You might also consider such things as time and depth limits, backups to control devices and fail-safe mechanisms, warranties, how many units have already been in use and for how long, and more.
Then there's training. A prerequisite will be nitrox certification since rebreathers either use nitrox or, in effect, mix it on the fly. Following that, virtually every rebreather manufacturer will require you to take a rebreather training course lasting four or five days. The cost of this will be extra, normally at least $500. Part of the curriculum covers in-water skills like how to interpret gauges and monitors and how to switch to backup systems. Another part is training in assembly and disassembly, servicing and maintenance of your particular unit.
Because you will have to be trained by an instructor certified in your particular make and model, you may have to travel to another city and stay there for five days or so for your training course.
Meanwhile, you will start to assemble a special tool and spare parts kit. You'll probably want one or more spare oxygen monitors and various solenoids and sensors for the more complex units. Also gas analyzers and flow-rate test devices, depending on the unit. Add to that mouthpieces, batteries, O-rings, tie-wraps, silicone grease, etc.
A Day on the Water
Even more than open-circuit, a rebreather dive begins before you get wet and ends after you're dry. Predive and postdive care for the rebreather are essential every time and can't be skipped. Expect to spend an extra half-hour on each end of the dive.
Here's generally what to expect, keeping in mind that each rebreather is different and requires its own procedure.
* Fill cylinder(s). Most semiclosed-circuit rebreathers use a single cylinder of nitrox. You'll have to decide in advance which nitrox mix you'll use so the bypass valve orifice can be matched to it. Most closed-circuit rebreathers use two cylinders, of oxygen and a diluent (usually air, though other gases may be options). In either case, but especially when using nitrox, you will analyze the gas yourself to make certain what is in the cylinder. If your bailout system uses a separate cylinder, you may need to refill that also.
# Fill scrubber canister. Different rebreathers use slightly different types of CO2 absorbent and different granule sizes, but all of it looks a lot like cat litter. You buy it in large plastic jugs or buckets, which you must keep tightly sealed because exposure to air causes the absorbent to react and become used up.You'll pour the absorbent into the canister, tapping the canister occasionally to make sure the absorbent settles and completely fills the canister. Because the absorbent dust is caustic, you should wear gloves and a breathing mask. Then you'll close and seal the canister and the absorbent bottle or bucket. Many divers do this job at home before the dive trip to minimize the mess.
# Assemble the rebreather. Here, semiclosed- and closed-circuit rebreathers differ considerably. In general, though, you will attach the counterlung (or lungs) to the absorbent canister and install them in the frame of the rebreather. You will test the one-way valves in the breathing hoses and attach them to the counterlungs. You will install the cylinder(s) and check their valves. All this can involve a dozen hose connections.If you have an oxygen monitor and other electronics, you will test them. If you have a constant-flow semiclosed rebreather, you will need to check the flow rate of the orifice.
You will then test the entire unit for air leaks and water leaks. Leaks are potentially serious. You have so little gas on board that you can't afford to lose any. If water leaks cause the unit to flood, it will become extremely negative. And water in the CO2 scrubber causes a reaction with the absorbent known as a "caustic cocktail"–a nasty mouthful that can chemically burn your lips, mouth and throat.
As should be obvious, this assembly process is both complicated and critical. You need plenty of time and plenty of space to work, and you should use a checklist to prompt your memory. Don't expect to assemble your rebreather between the dive briefing and the "pool's open!" call.
# Into the water. Waddling across the deck in a rebreather has been justly compared to carrying double tanks, but once you're in the water most of the difficulty ceases. Several differences to open-circuit diving will strike you immediately, though.One is that you can't simply drop the mouthpiece into the water, because water would fill the breathing loop and the scrubber canister. There is a valve on the mouthpiece that you have to remember to close before you take it out of your mouth.
Another is that you can't affect your buoyancy by inhaling or exhaling, because the same amount of air just passes back and forth between your lungs and the rebreather and never changes volume or buoyancy. If you're used to exhaling to get below the surface, this won't work.
As you descend, increasing pressure will collapse the counterlungs just as it collapses BCs and dry suits. Some rebreathers automatically add more gas to the breathing loop, others require you to add it manually. When you suck on the mouthpiece and get no air, you push on a dry suit-type valve to reinflate the breathing loop.
You need to be stingy when inflating your BC or clearing your mask because gas used for that is gas lost from a much smaller total supply. For the same reason, you need to watch your gauges closely and you and your buddy need to be vigilant for air leaks.
If you work unusually hard–if you have to swim against a current, for example–your body will take oxygen out of the breathing loop faster than normal. Closed-circuit systems and passive semiclosed-circuit systems will sense this and add extra oxygen. Active semiclosed systems will not, however. In that case you must remember to "purge the breathing loop" by exhaling this oxygen-poor gas through your nose so the rebreather replaces it with richer gas.
At the beginning of an ascent on a semi-closed-circuit rebreather, you must also purge the loop to enrich your breathing mixture. Otherwise, as pressure drops, the partial pressure of oxygen may become too low. Closed- circuit systems add oxygen automatically.
Also, as you ascend and the counterlungs expand, the rebreather will vent gas. This is the only time the rebreather purposely dumps a significant amount of gas, and the reason that "sawtooth" profiles are especially wasteful. You will probably find that the rebreather does not vent gas fast enough and you become increasingly buoyant, so you'll need to manually dump from your BC, your dry suit or from the rebreather.
If you are planning another dive that day and have enough gas and scrubber time left, all you need to do is turn the rebreather off during your surface interval. It's a good idea, though, to check the breathing loop for water inside.
If this is your last dive for a few days, you will need to disassemble and clean the rebreather thoroughly. The warm, moist environment inside the breathing loop is perfect for growing bacteria, so it must be disinfected with whatever solution the manufacturer recommends, then rinsed well and dried. Drying the inside of the breathing loop, with its baffles and corrugated hoses, can be very difficult.
If you are diving again tomorrow, however, you need only disinfect the mouthpiece and corrugated hoses.
The used CO2 absorbent must also be dumped and the scrubber canister must be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Electronics and oxygen sensors have their own care requirements. Plan on spending an hour on postdive maintenance at first, although you will get faster with experience.
Long-Term Maintenance
Each cylinder has a first and a second stage regulator which requires annual service. These are normally just ordinary open-circuit regulators that can be serviced by your local dive shop. Cylinders need to be hydro tested and visually inspected like any others.
Oxygen sensors have a life span and need to be replaced, usually every 12 to 24 months, depending on how much they are used. (They deplete themselves in air about half as fast as when diving.) After diving, some divers remove them from the rebreather and seal them to extend their life.
Computer controls have batteries that must be replaced occasionally.
Some manufacturers recommend that the whole unit receive a thorough inspection and overhaul every year.
Rebreathers: How They Work
All rebreathers are built around the principle of a one-way breathing loop. One hose takes your exhaled breath to the CO2 scrubber, and another brings it back (without the CO2) to your mouth.
On each side of the scrubber there is a counterlung, just a flexible bag that expands and contracts to accommodate the on/off nature of your breathing. The counterlung on the exhalation side usually has a relief valve to vent excess gas from the system. The counterlung on the inhalation side has an input valve where more oxygen or nitrox is added.
Add a mouthpiece with a valve to prevent flooding, a one-way valve in each breathing hose so your breath circulates the right way, and some other bits and pieces and you've got a basic rebreather.
How many gases are injected into the inhalation counterlung, and how the injection is controlled, determine whether it's semiclosed-circuit or closed-circuit.
Semiclosed-circuit rebreathers have the simplest gas control mechanism. Basically, it is just a fixed orifice, an opening that permits a constant flow rate into the breathing loop. Any excess above what your body consumes is vented to the water in a stream of small bubbles, which is why the system is called "semiclosed."
The simplest semiclosed-circuit rebreathers constantly add nitrox from a single cylinder. The Dräger Dolphin and Ray are popular examples. They are called "mass flow" or "active" semiclosed-circuit rebreathers–active because the unit is always injecting fresh gas. The orifice, which controls the flow rate, must be selected before the dive to match the nitrox mix chosen. This type of rebreather is all on or all off: Whenever the cylinder valve is turned on, gas flows into the breathing loop at the rate determined by the orifice. Manual addition valves and some other plumbing may complicate the picture, but that's the essence.
"Passive" semiclosed-circuit rebreathers inject gas only on demand. Various mechanisms to trigger the gas injection may be used, but they are mechanical. For example, a system of ratchets and levers measures the volume of a counterlung, and when it gets below a certain size (because your body has removed that much oxygen from the breathing loop), it triggers a valve to inject more gas. Passive systems use less gas than active ones, but the actual content of the gas mix in the breathing loop may be more variable.
Somewhat more complicated self-mixing semiclosed-circuit rebreathers add oxygen and a diluent separately through fixed orifices or (in the case of the diluent) a demand valve. They also may use less gas, but may be subject to larger variations in the oxygen content of the gas mix.
Fully closed-circuit rebreathers aim to control exactly the oxygen content in your breathing gas. They add only the gas you need, when you need it, and don't waste any. Thus, no bubbles most of the time and a longer gas duration. This fine control of gas addition comes from some electronic wizardry. Normally, sensors analyze the oxygen content of the breathing loop and inform a computer, which adds oxygen or diluent as needed to maintain a preselected "set point" for the oxygen partial pressure. Redundancy (often three oxygen sensors and two computers) makes the wiring and plumbing diagrams confusing, but again the concept is fairly simple.
Are You Ready for a Rebreather?
You need to look not only within the rebreather but within yourself. Some personality types are more suited than others to the demands of using and caring for a rebreather. And some people probably shouldn't even consider it.
Are you comfortable with "nuts and bolts"? Rebreathers are more complex than open-circuit setups, and you will have to be self-sufficient for assembly, cleaning, maintenance and a lot of the repair, since the chances of your local dive shop having a specialist are slim. Even the simplest rebreather typically has all the parts of your open-circuit setup, plus a lot more. All those parts, and the connections between them (there are 50 or more O-rings in a typical rebreather), must have regular maintenance.
Are you self-disciplined? Predive, during the dive and postdive you have to make up your mind to follow procedures and checklists exactly. Filling the scrubber canister and assembling the breathing loop before the dive involve steps that must be followed precisely and tests that can't be skipped. The same care must be taken when disassembling and cleaning the rebreather after the dive. And during the dive you have to watch gauges more closely than on open circuit. Are you meticulous about maintenance of your open-circuit gear, for example, or do you "hose it and go"?
Do you accept responsibility for your safety? You have to take the attitude that the correct operation of your rebreather depends on you alone. The idea that the manufacturer, the instructor or someone else is responsible may be gratifying to your heirs but will not save your life in the event of a failure. Are you comfortable letting the boat crew or your dive buddy set up your open-circuit gear for you, or do you insist on doing it yourself?
Can you resist temptation? Rebreathers promote what might be called "mission creep." Many of them are capable of dives far beyond the training of most recreational divers. Units that can change the gas mix during the dive are especially suited for decompression diving. It's human nature to "see what this baby will do," but rebreather training is not technical training. You will learn how to operate the unit, but not the specific disciplines of tech diving like deep diving and cave penetration, for example. "Mission creep" can take the apparently innocuous form of adding other nontechnical but demanding equipment too soon. Using a complex camera rig can distract you from monitoring your rebreather carefully, for example.

Will prepare notes. Complete clarification to the doubts asked by students. Able to take exam oriented classes for university exams as well as competitive exams.
BEng (Hons)
I have acquired most of my experience in London Teaching IGCSE and the normal GCSE Physics Chemistry and Maths. I have done Engineering from University of London. My approach to teaching is very simple I try to get to the child's level and teach them from there up since every child is different and needs a different approach in order to get through to him.
As per planning the lesson i plan according to the time and hours I have so that the student will stay interested in learning and would want to be engaged, secondly making sure that whatever is taught new is recapped at the end and what ever was taught before is touched in the lesson so that its not forgotten keeping the lesson on topic and thorough. I conduct regular assessments on the topics taught.

The infinite spanking of Jerry Saltz
On the evening New York magazine won the National Magazine Award in the columns and commentary category for three pieces by its senior art critic, Jerry Saltz, he unwittingly broke with convention. Saltz, in a pair of faded maroon sneakers, sprinted up the stage of the Marriott Marquis ballroom, outpacing his editor in chief and arriving at the podium only to apologize amid the laughter: "Jesus, I thought I was supposed to come up here."
Custom—and the evening's host—had called for Adam Moss to accept the award in Saltz's name.
Story Continued Below
"What was I thinking about when I sat right back down? A few things. One is I felt embarrassed," he confessed two weeks later. "And I had a moment of thinking, my job is secure for another year, maybe."
For the record, Moss holds nothing against Saltz for his gaffe: "He's just like a puppy dog, so he popped up," he later told Capital. "I loved it."
Of course, not everyone is as permissive: earlier this month, Saltz's tendency toward the outré got him suspended from Facebook, a banishment he served for almost a week's time. While a Facebook spokesperson declined to explain the freeze on Saltz's account to The New York Times, Saltz said he received a message informing him that complaints had been registered with the company, and he suspects that some of his 55,000 "friends" and followers objected to steady stream of posts containing raunchy images from ancient Roman and Greek art and medieval illuminated manuscripts.
They depict demons, defecation, torture, severed genitals, masturbation and kinky sex acts; the captions Saltz had given them range from holiday greetings of "Happy Valentines Day babes!"—attached to an illustration of naked man entwined in a deadly embrace with a dragon—to criticism of bargain-hunting collectors to the running commentary of Saltz's inner voice, telling himself he's a fraud.
"Letters to Facebook objected to these images (made by artists) being 'abusive to women,' 'sexist,' and 'misogynist,'...accusing me of being all these things too," Saltz wrote in an online defense of his right to express as provocatively as he chooses the darker, self-loathing side of human nature. "I hope that all of these finger-pointing little Napoleons get a grip and go elsewhere."
In the hallowed halls of art criticism long dominated by self-serious arbiters of taste, Saltz will sometimes say he prefers to play the role of the hapless naïf. Saltz can look the part when he wants: he's a petite man, with a receding hairline, bookish plastic frames, and a face that resembles a hybrid of J.K. Simmons and Larry David's. But his boundary-pushing antics are serious business, a persona built over 25 years of hard work and self-questioning, and they've put him in a uniquely influential position in the New York art scene.
"I call him America's art critic," said Howard Halle, chief art critic at Time Out New York. Saltz told this reporter he writes "for the reader—not the artist, not the gallerist, not even for the art world," and he has created an online forum for the hoi polloi, for which the guiding principle is that commenters may attack him but never one another. Saltz sees his work in print and his presence on the internet as flattening the traditionally hierarchical structure of art criticism wherein the rarefied critic pontificates to the masses from his ivory tower—flattening it to the point at which the public can discuss art amongst itself.
And when you level the playing field like that, you're bound to look bad sometimes.
JERRY SALTZ ONCE HAD DREAMS OF MAKING A NAME FOR HIMSELF AS A PAINTER. He enrolled in the Art Institute of Chicago in the early '70s, harboring grandiose plans to illustrate Dante's Divine Comedy in a series of 100 paintings and drawings for each of the 100 cantos that would take him a quarter century to complete.
In 1980, Saltz moved to New York in pursuit of wealth, fame and women, with a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts, but no degree. In the process of showing and selling his work, he succumbed to self-doubt. "You can't draw, you can't make art," he recalls his demons whispering. "What you're doing doesn't matter… You can't schmooze, you don't have the money."
Saltz decided he'd support himself by driving 10-wheel trucks hauling art long distances, his cargo a tenuous connection to the world he'd once inhabited.
"Like you," Saltz said to this reporter, though I had disclosed nothing about my finances, "I was very, very, very poor and always felt sorry for myself." (A running theme in Saltz's commentary is money's corrosive effect on the art world.)
Desperate to return to his old haunts, he began to envision himself as a critic rather than an artist, a writer who might contribute his two cents to the contemporary art magazine Artforum.
"Then as now, I didn't understand a syllable of what I was reading [in Artforum,]" said Saltz, who has a habit of belittling his own intelligence. His efforts to mimic the academic jargon he read—the kind of artspeak that some characterize as pompous windbaggery and that David Levine and Alix Rule attempted to pseudo-scientifically codify in their essay "International Art English"—were half-hearted.
But Saltz's energy for assembling the work of contemporary New York artists in a 1987 anthology he titled Beyond Boundaries: New York's New Art was boundless.
"I was good at staying up late and looking at art and listening to artists and going to studios," Saltz said of the talents that made the project expedient even as he juggled his trucking job, his gigs teaching at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Rhode Island School of Design and the School of Visual Arts, and his occasional duties chauffering a millionaire around in a Mercedes. While collecting images from emerging artists, Saltz generated art-world buzz and met his future wife, Roberta Smith, who contributed an essay to the anthology and who is today co-chief art critic at The New York Times.
Ultimately, it was a monthly column Saltz wrote for the now-defunct Arts Magazine—a series of pieces each focused on a single work of art—that catapulted him out of art media and into general-interest publications.
"He could really expound for 2,000 words on one particular thing," said former Village Voice senior editor Vince Aletti, who hired Saltz to replace Peter Schjeldahl in 1998. "You're almost seeing his process of looking and thinking and absorbing the work, and that, I think, makes for very interesting and engaging writing."
Art critic and founding editor of Art F City Paddy Johnson says Saltz may not be "a real wizard with the pen (Roberta just runs circles around us all)," but she praises him for knowing how to look at art, unpacking his sequential impressions for the readers with bold analogies. Just read his description of a set of Matisse cut-outs:
Two giant, mural-like works in the show's third gallery from 1946, Oceania, the Sky and Oceania, the Sea (both on loan from Paris for the first time ever), are just white paper on a wide expanse of raw canvas. Huge, minimal, monochromatic, and reduced to essentials, the works are so sensual, it's like we're looking at them with our kundalini. Flying fish fill empty skies, birds dive under invisible waters, surf splashes, seaweed and shells float along some primordial tide. Vantage points toggle from above the waters to below to inside this mystic sea. Continual perceptual shifts between micro and macro scales occur; pinholes and minute surface changes loom large; a pucker on paper takes on the presence of a sun spot; immense forms like the ocean feel intimate.
Saltz, whose energy hasn't flagged over the years, looks at heaps upon heaps of art. When he isn't writing, he's spending his days with Smith visiting galleries and shows throughout the five boroughs. If he decides to write a review of a solo exhibition, he's already seen that artist's student show and everything in between.
In Aletti's opinion, "the education that he has given himself in seeing is extraordinary …. I do think he sees more than most critics and is the better for it."
Under the senior editor's oversight, Saltz concentrated the "essential Jerry-ness" tinting reviews he had earlier written for Time Out New York, Halle said; he shed his elite pretentions to recreate himself as a writer whose work a broader readership could understand and appreciate for its humor and its fearless commitment to strong opinions. (For example, Saltz's pithy take on the work of performance artist Marina Abramovic: "I feel about Abramovic's art the way I do about the High Line. It's a high-production distraction for tourists that simultaneously keeps them from over-crowding the already over-crowded real art world going on all around them.")
Saltz became what he calls a "folk critic," "self-taught, and hopefully writing in the vernacular, meaning a voice you could (a) understand and (b) disagree with if you wanted to." Year after year, in his annual "Babylon" column in the Voice examining the New York art world, Saltz interpreted broad trends in a tone at once, as he told Interview magazine, "performative, extroverted and asshole-ish, like the '80s could be."
And then 2007 came, followed by 2008, the years that New York magazine and Facebook would change everything.
ON A THURSDAY AFTERNOON AT THE NEW YORK MAGAZINE OFFICES, Saltz was flying from desk to desk, bearing a white plastic platter of chocolate-chip cookies he had flipped out of a Gristedes clamshell.
Why not leave them in a central location for the taking?
"[The staff] would never get there," Saltz said. "You can see there's not a lot of movement."
Saltz performs his ritual of distributing cookies or doughnuts on those afternoons he takes a break from writing at his Greenwich Village apartment—"I come in here because it changes my head space," he said—and no one except me was surprised to hear the kissy noises he makes as if he were calling dogs to their chow.
He encouraged his coworkers to indulge themselves, to take two cookies. He asked them to compare the Gristedes variety to the chichi Jacques Torres cookies he had brought in a few weeks ago, and most said they preferred the cheaper supermarket kind.
When Saltz approached Carl Rosen, the senior editor and copy chief suggested he put a candle in a cookie.
"Is it a holiday?" Saltz asked, puzzled. "Oh, it's my holiday! Boom!"
This was the day Saltz turned 64, and he said he planned to celebrate the evening by writing at home. He'd worn a festive navy blue scarf, embroided with flowers, to the office, a complement to his black zip-up sweatshirt. On Facebook, he had posted an image of a cherub imbibing wine (his preferred beverage is light beer) from a glass jug.
"It's Saint Jerry's day!" Rosen exclaimed.
Saint Jerry is the patron saint of any writer tormented by isolation and insecurity. He classifies himself a homebody who acts "a little awkward around humans," and he calls himself a "late bloomer" when it comes to the course of his career. Periodically, he offers to resign from New York magazine over concerns that his ideas aren't fresh enough.
"I'm an early riser because of writing anxiety," he said. "The second I come to consciousness, I think I better get to work, otherwise I'm just going to fail. That's my demon, because I wasted more than 10 years."
When New York approached Saltz to replace the departing Mark Stevens, he assumed his allegiance to the downtown art scene and the gallery world—rather than museum shows—would make him a bad fit for the magazine.
Moss reassured Saltz the publication would embrace that kind of coverage and friends warned him the Village Voice was facing its demise. The decision to take the senior art critic position multiplied his readership overnight.
The next year, an art student of Saltz's, on the critic's behalf, set up a Facebook account that became a salon for art lovers, neophytes and experts alike; the conversation started when Saltz posted a critique of a contemporary artist that drew roughly 100 comments and Saltz defended his opinion—comment by comment.
Saltz, a man who Googles his name every day to find anything written about him, has become addicted to the virtual interactions. He escapes to Facebook or Twitter or Instagram when he's finished typing up a paragraph of his latest column and the anxiety of completing the next one consumes him. Praising Saltz's use of social media, Moss characterizes Saltz as a "trailblazer for our company."
But Saltz's online persona has taken on a life detached from the man whose hands fidget when they aren't gesturing. It made its television debut in 2010 as one of four regular judges on the Bravo reality competition show "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist," which pit emerging artists against one another in weekly challenges.
"The art world is always saying, 'Oh we want everybody to see art and talk about art,' and I thought, I'm offered this chance, I'm going to do it, knowing it [will] probably make an ass of me and art," Saltz said of the experience that's best encapsulated by an artifact pinned to the wall of his office cubicle: a kitschy action figure of the art critic constructed by The Sucklord, one of the show's contestants.
Embracing the show's mix of low and high culture, Saltz channeled the era in which his criticism matured, "this '80s, '90s New York that was trying to make art into a very mainstream, almost pop culture moment," said Hrag Vartanian, co-founding editor in chief of the online art magazine Hyperallergic. In essence, Saltz made performance art of his art criticism.
"The funny thing was that everybody in the art world was going, 'Oh, he's finished [after] that he did that," Halle said. "It didn't make a dent."
ArtNews co-executive editor Andrew Russeth admires what he calls the "gutsiness" of Saltz's act. "Everything would say that as an art critic, you should be serious, you should be really considered, extremely deliberate …. He was willing to experiment and make himself a character in the public sphere."
BUT SALTZ NEVER STOPS PUSHING BUTTONS, and sometimes it seems as if his ever-inflating character is destined to eclipse his contributions to the body of art criticism, like some kind of social-media singularity.
In a 2010 essay titled, "My Jerry Saltz Problem," The New Criterion executive editor James Panero argued that the critic's internet presence has compromised his print brand, which Saltz describes as seeing art without the artist's or dealer's input.
"On Facebook and now elsewhere online, Saltz regularly mixes portentous metaphysical questions with internet messianism, unctuous flattery of his followers, treacly self-doubt, and gaseous emissions of political cant. The ultimate topic of discussion is not art or even his devoted followers but Jerry Saltz himself," Panero wrote. Rather than eliminating the vertical model of traditional print criticism, Saltz "has instead flipped the traditional critic's role from peripheral character to central actor."
That was indeed the case in October, when Saltz posted a photograph to Facebook depicting a naked woman whose backside is covered in what look like wounds from a lash, an image he captioned with the statement, "This is what your critic does to artists who have been very very bad." The post offended scads of his Facebook followers, some of whom wrote to the magazine demanding he step down, and he soon deleted the picture and apologized.
But Saltz later published a diatribe on Vulture.com defending bad taste and lamenting how conservative the art world has become, to the point at which "unwritten rules and rigid moralities — about whom to like and dislike, what is permissible to say and what must remain unsaid — are strictly enforced via social media and online disapproval."
"The photo was a self-portrait from one of my Twitter friends' feeds. It'd been posted proudly by her," he explained, having failed to note the picture's origin in his original caption.
Reflecting back on the episode, Saltz—the critic who claims he has elephant skin when it comes to critiques of his own work—said, "I was hurt and pissed. I thought I was championing women all this time. And then I posted it without even thinking. (I was posting men having their balls cut off, castrated, having their heads split open) .... And they said I was a misogynist and a sexist, and at first I thought, this can't be."
"I'm sorry if they now think I'm a misogynist and objectif[ier of] women. I have an id. I'm turned on by the pictures I post, including the ones of the men being smashed open. I think Edgar Allen Poe said we are all splendid, but dark. I don't think I'm especially perverted, but I wouldn't know. I think I'm so normal."
Johnson believes that Saltz cares deeply about the art world community, not just his popularity, but that he views it "through the lens of himself," she said.
Rather than use his faux pas as an opportunity to argue for the increased representation of women and other minorities in the art world, a subject he has staunchly advocated for in his columns over the years, Saltz chose to complain about the censorship of his own white male voice.
Defending Saltz's freedom of speech on the internet, Moss hinted at something weightier: "We try very hard not to police people's presence on social media … and I'm not saying there would never be a situation where we would feel the need to intervene, but basically, Jerry's an adult and his own person," he said. "I don't want to say that people who object to [Saltz's posts] are oversensitive or wrong … but I think he has this sort of established record. I mean, he's not a sexist asshole."
In the long-term, Russeth said, "I guess the question with Jerry is, does the public persona, does the fame last? I think what always survives of critics is the writing."
So what view of Jerry Saltz—the critic, the community organizer, the artist and the provocateur—will ultimately endure? Maybe when his outwardly inexhaustible wellspring of baked goods and energy dries up, we'll find out.

Series: Ashgate Studies in Environmental Policy and Practice
Recent food shortages in Southern Africa, induced by rainfall variability but compounded by problems of governance and rising food prices, have resulted in massive relief efforts. A recent scientific innovation - supplying farmers with seasonal climate forecasts - has been touted as a way to increase preparedness for such situations. This book examines how climate forecasts are used by the agricultural community in Southern Africa. Based on a workshop funded by the World Bank, it covers a broad set of issues related to the use of seasonal forecasts, including factors that constrain users' capacities to respond. Case studies presented in the book explore how forecasts can potentially increase production and food security among a population highly dependent on agriculture and vulnerable to climate variability. The book reflects on how the production, delivery and uptake of seasonal forecasts might be improved, as well as the limitations to their usefulness, and it should catalyse future thinking and research in this field.

November 21, 2012 – New York – AJC, the global Jewish advocacy organization, has provided Barzilai Medical Center in Israel with a grant to support its efforts to help the victims of rocket attacks from Hamas in Gaza.
"We are strengthened in spirit and in our ability to respond in the current crisis by AJC's generous act of friendship and support," said Dr. Chezy Levy, CEO and Medical Director of the Barzilai Medical Center.
Barzilai, located in Ashkelon, is the main hospital in the southern region, and currently on the frontline in the battle against Hamas. The Palestinian terror organization ruling Gaza has sent more than 1,000 rockets during the last week alone into southern and central Israel. One made a direct hit on a school in Ashkelon, which was empty at the time because schools in the south remain closed due to the daily attacks.
The $360,000 grant from AJC's Israel Emergency Fund will enable Barzilai to purchase much-needed medical equipment, including a mobile X-ray apparatus and a Plasma Sterrad Sterilizer.
"Israelis, especially first-responders like the Barzilai Medical Center team, have demonstrated exceptional resilience, compassion and love of life – even as they confront an enemy, Hamas in Gaza, that glorifies death," said AJC Executive Director David Harris. "We hope our contribution will assist the remarkable effort to save and protect lives."
An AJC delegation visited Barzilai Medical Center in 2009, during Operation Cast Lead, when Israel entered Gaza to quell Hamas rockets. "Barzilai, as we saw on that trip, also helps injured Palestinians from Gaza with superb care," said Harris, who led the delegation. "This speaks volumes about a dimension of Israel's humanity that, regrettably, gets too little attention in the global media." Following that visit, AJC provided a grant to purchase emergency medical equipment for the hospital's trauma center.
AJC's mission is to enhance the well-being of the Jewish people and Israel, and to advance human rights and democratic values in the United States and around the world.

This is an older property but well maintained. Check in was quick and they had their staff jump on preparing my room since they knew I was waiting which is something not all hotels will do for you. They act like a family run property and not like a big chain. Fresh baked cookies in the afternoon was a nice touch. Ask for an even numbered room for the lake view. Also each room has a spacious balcony. Note the location is great and you can walk to the beach and fair grounds if it is in town or if there is a concert. For $100 for a deluxe room, you get your monies worth.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Conveniently located on Lake Chatuge in the North Georgia Mountains. Right next door to the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds and Anderson Music Hall--all within walking distance. We offer free breakfast, USA Today, high speed wireless internet and parking. All rooms include private balcony or patio. Views of Lake Chatuge and mountains. Conference and meeting facilities available. Restaurant on property. Catering and banquet facilities available. ... more less

CI Name: PW6, PW4, PY42, PY74, PO73
Pigment Name: Titanium Dioxide Rutile, Zinc Oxide, Synthetic Hydrated Iron Oxide, Arylide Yellow 5GX, Diketopyrrole-pyrrole
Lightfastness: Excellent
Opacity: Opaque
Grind: Very Fine
Similar to Naples but brighter. Good covering power. Dissimilar from Naples Yellow Reddish in that it is very much a yellow - not an orange.
Each colour is ground to enhance the beauty and luminosity specific to that particular pigment. Some colours will feel slightly gritty; others extremely smooth. Pigments are ground in pure, premium, alkali-refined and PH- balanced linseed oil and made in batches no larger than five gallons at a time. This provides total control over the product, much like the late nineteenth-century French colour makers. All the materials are hand measured, and every ounce of paint is scrutinized. The paint is packed in 37 ml and 150 ml non-reactive aluminum tubes. Larger quantities of paint are packed in aluminium cans using only the purest materials.

Digestion and Indigestion
In humans, digestion begins in the mouth, continues into the stomach and then continue later in the small intestine where absorption of nutrients occurs also (only alcohol is absorbed earlier, in the stomach!). Full digestion lasts, depending on the nature of the food ingested, about 33-42 hours and its purpose is to turn all complex substances from food into simple, small molecule – called nutrients – which can be absorbed from the intestine and used by the body.
Digestive secretions that help digestion are:
· Saliva
· Gastric juice
· Pancreatic juice
· Bile
· Intestinal juice
All these secretions (except bile) are normally rich in digestive enzymes, and ensure digesting food.
But as we get older, our organism secretes fewer and fewer digestive enzymes. Enzyme activity can be reduced by stress, diseases (acute or chronic) or burnout. The major symptoms that indicate an enzymatic failure are: heartburn and acid regurgitation, indigestion, heaviness in the stomach, belching, bloating, gas, fatigue after rest (chronic fatigue), diarrhea or constipation , food intolerance , malabsorption, loss of appetite, etc.
The main causes of indigestion are large meals, eating too fast, not chewing food well, foods like fast -food or those that contain much fat, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, eating very spicy foods, emotional trauma, anxiety, stress, cholecystitis, acute or chronic gastritis, acute or chronic pancreatitis, duodenal or gastric ulcer and medicines such as antibiotics, aspirin and anti – inflammatory drugs .
Often called dyspepsia, indigestion is a term used to describe a feeling of fullness or discomfort during or after a meal. It can be accompanied by burning or pain in the upper stomach.
What to do in case of indigestion?
You can use digestive enzymes supplements to ease digestion and allow food intake to advance in the intestines, after being broken down into smaller molecules, which will reduce to extinction unpleasant symptoms of indigestion.
ZIMEZ from Sun Wave Pharma is the most complete and effective formula of digestive enzymes, having 12 digestive enzymes in its composition that help digest all foods, completely (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, dietary fiber), combating indigestion and symptoms associated with insufficient digestion (abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, regurgitation or feeling of fullness and early saturation during meal) and contributing to the health of the entire body.

OBJECTIVES--To measure the incidence of eclampsia, establish how often it is preceded by signs of pre-eclampsia, document the morbidity associated with eclampsia, and determine the maternal case fatality rates. DESIGN--A prospective, descriptive study of every case of eclampsia in the United Kingdom in 1992. Information was collected from reviews of hospital case notes and questionnaires to general practitioners. SETTING--All 279 hospitals in the United Kingdom with a consultant obstetric unit. RESULTS--Obstetricians and midwives notified 582 possible cases, and 383 were confirmed as eclampsia. The national incidence of eclampsia was 4.9/10,000 maternities (95% confidence interval 4.5 to 5.4). Most convulsions occurred despite antenatal care (70%) and within one week of the woman's last visit to a doctor or midwife (85%). Three quarters of first seizures occurred in hospital, of which 38% developed before both proteinuria and hypertension had been documented. Forty four per cent of cases occurred postpartum, more than a third (38%) antepartum, and the remainder (18%) intrapartum. Nearly one in 50 women (1.8%) died, and 35% of all women had at least one major complication. The rate of stillbirths and neonatal deaths was 22.2/1000 and 34.1/1000, respectively. Preterm eclampsia occurred more commonly antepartum and was associated with more maternal complications and fetuses that were small for gestational age, as well as with higher rates of stillbirth and neonatal mortality. Antepartum eclampsia, which was more likely to occur preterm, was associated with a higher rate of maternal complications and a higher neonatal mortality. Both factors (gestational prematurity and antepartum occurrence) contributed independently to the severity of the outcome. CONCLUSION--Eclampsia occurs in nearly one in 2000 maternities in the United Kingdom and is associated with high maternal morbidity and fatality in cases. It may present unheralded by warning signs. Preterm and antenatal eclampsia seem to be particularly severe.
