The Innovation for 3D Printer in 2012
Posted by TierTime on 13. Feb 2012
Original Link: http://news.e-works.net.cn/category8/news43545.htm
In Feb of 2011, an article titled in "How Manufacture Technology Change the World" was used in producing the history and development of 3D printers in magazine covered by 3D printer. It explained that people are paying more and more attention to the 3D printing technology.
3D printing showed the value and imagination in various industries, and was able to be changing the miraculous ideas into truth. In the past year 2011, people were agog to show their 3D printed products such as potato, chocolate, the model of a small town even cars and planes. It can say the 3D printing always shows the spirit in creation and innovation
- Development of Field
In 2011, the 3D printing was completely biological medicine producing with its advantage. XX Creative Group had succeeded in printing human bones; another group from Harvard Medical College successfully excogitated one kind of 3D printer that could print biological cellule. In the other hand, the research in printing human organs is in process.
With the development of variety and the innovation of printing technology, 3D printing is not only showing the big potential in traditional manufacture industry, but also in food manufacturing, luxurious clothes, media products, education and other field closely related with people's life.
- Improvement of Printing Speed, Size and Technique
At present, the maximum printing speed of personal 3D printer is over 300 mm even 350 mm per second; meanwhile the 3D printer is more and more designed both in lighter and bigger sized for various requirements.
- The Innovation of Designing Platform
Based on the coming popularity of domestic 3D printer, the designing platform of 3D printing is turning in perspicuous function and easier applying. Microsoft and Google has promoted their 3D printing designing platform in order that more people can enjoy the happiness from 3D printers.

Biology in Focus, HSC Course
Glenda Childrawi, Margaret Robson and Stephanie Hollis
Any change in the external environment could affect the balance in the internal environment of the organism and so a mechanism is needed to ensure homeostasis. The mechanisms that allows this to occur are based on a negative feedback system, co-ordinated by the nervous system.
The function of the nervous system is co-ordination and this takes place in three steps:
The structures of the nervous system involved in the stimulus-response pathway of coordination are:
A stimulus is detected by a receptor, a message is carried by nerves to a control centre and a response is triggered. For example, if you touch a hot stove with your finger, receptors in your skin detect the heat and pain, and the result is that you withdraw your hand rapidly.
This rapid reaction requires a link between the receptors that detect the stimulus and the effectors, the muscles that carry out a response. The co-ordination is carried out by the nerves and the CNS of the body. The response usually counteracts the stimulus (change), reducing its
effect so that a balance is
maintained. This is a
negative feedback system.
Sensory cells called receptors detect stimuli (changes in the internal or external environment). In their most simple form, receptors consist of single cells, scattered over the body of an organism. In their more complex form, they are concentrated in particular areas to form sense organs.
In many animals, receptors in sense organs detect stimuli in the external environment. However there are also receptors that are sensitive to internal stimuli within the body. These are called interoreceptors and are important in detecting changes such as pH, body temperature, osmotic pressure and the chemical composition of blood related to homeostasis.
Receptors may be named according to the type of energy or molecules they detect. Those receptors important in our study of homeostasis are thermoreceptors and chemoreceptors.
The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system (CNS). The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of nerves, which carry information to and from the CNS.
The information carried by nerves is 'messages' transmitted in the form of electrochemical impulses. Incoming information passes from sensory receptors via sensory nerves to the CNS, which in turn transmits outgoing information to effector organs via motor nerves.
The role of the CNS is to process incoming information, analyse it and then initiate an appropriate response. Within the CNS, information is processed and analysed by a number of interconnecting nerve cells (neurons) and then a message is generated and transmitted, stimulating the effector organs.
Some actions involving the nervous system may take place voluntarily, but all those involved in homeostasis take place without any conscious thought. They are involuntary and many are inborn, unconditioned reflexed in response to a particular stimulus.
A response is a reaction in an organism or its tissues, as a result of receiving a stimulus. It is carried out by structures in the body known as effector organs. These are often muscles and/or glands. The response reaches the effectors from the CNS and causes the body to correct any deviation from the normal balanced state, thereby maintaining homeostasis.
Temperature is extremely important in maintaining homeostasis in living organisms. It's the role of the nervous system to regulate body temperature. This is called thermoregulation. The body gains heat in many ways. For example:
The body also loses heat in many ways. For example:
Thermoreceptors are present both outside and inside the body. Peripheral receptors are located in the skin and central receptors monitor the temperatures of the blood as is circulates throughout the brain.
The central receptors are present in the hypothalamus of the brain and are sensitive to extremely small temperature changes (a fraction of a degree). Its also the control centre for temperature regulation in the mammalian body so the receptors don't have to transmit the information very far to elicit a response.
The anterior hypothalamus has a heat-loss centre, which sends messages to effectors t cool the body down.
The posterior hypothalamus has a heat-gain centre, which initiates responses that help the body warm up.
The main homeostatic organ involved in temperature regulation in humans is the skin. If the body becomes to cold, the heat-gain centre of the hypothalamus stimulates responses in the effector organs to generate and/or retain heat within the body. On a cold day we get goose bumps on our skin, become pale and shiver.
Raised hairs on the body (goose bumps) are an attempt to trap a layer of warm air around the body to reduce the amount of heat lost by radiation, convection and conduction. The hypothalamus stimulates the erector muscles in the skin to contract, raising the hairs. This is more effective at trapping heat where the hair is thicker, for example on our heads.
Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the arterioles to the skin. People who are very cold tend to appear pale-faced, with blue-tinged lips, fingers and toes due to 'poor circulation'. This restricts blood flow to the skin and prevents heat carried by the blood throughout the body to be lost from the body's surface.
Shivering is brought about by rapid small muscle contractions, which generate heat in the body. The body can also speed up metabolism which generates some heat.
If the body becomes too hot, we become red, sweaty and sluggish. These are signs that our heat-loss mechanism has been activated to cool the body. The heat-loss centre of the hypothalamus stimulates the effector organs to lose heat.
Vasodilation: dilation (expansion) of the arterioles to the skin. Blood carrying heat is directed towards the surface of the body so that heat can be lost by conduction, convection and radiation to the surroundings.
Sweating: Sweat glands, the main heat-loss structures in the body, are activated by the heat loss centre in the hypothalamus. Liquid sweat is secreted through the sweat pores onto the surface of the skin and heat is removed from the body to evaporate the liquid.
Animals that do not have sweat glands still lose heat by evaporation. For example, dogs pant, rodents and kangaroos lick their bodies so that the saliva evaporates and cools them down. Plants also cool themselves this way, its called transpiration.
And finally, decreased metabolism can reduce heat. The heat-loss centre causes the thyroid gland to lower the rate of metabolism, generating less heat. This is why we feel tired and lethargic on hot days.

Neither unexpected or unwarranted, Gators defensive back Jalen "Teez" Tabor has played his final game in Gainesville. Well, actually, it was the Outback Bowl Monday in Tampa, as Florida rolled Iowa 30-3.
Tabor made the news official himself Thursday morning on the Players Tribune website:
After three years, Jalen "Teez" Tabor says thank you to @GatorsFB. https://t.co/B7jwprEyL8 pic.twitter.com/1zfmeXCQyl
— The Players' Tribune (@PlayersTribune) January 5, 2017
The Washington D.C. native, just concluded his junior season where he had four INTs including the 39 yard pick six above in the home win over Missouri in October. He was the lone Gator selected on the AP All SEC First Team.
Tabor is projected as a top 20 pick in the NFL Draft by most current "Mock Drafts." If he does go in the first round, he would join the Buccaneers Vernon Hargreaves who was picked 11th overall by Tampa Bay last year and started his entire rookie season.
He is the fourth Gator defender to declare for the upcoming draft. Good luck to Jim McElwain and Co. restocking a defense that has carried his program his first two years.

Amy Schumer: 'I dress like a hobo'
The Trainwreck star is a huge fan of Old Navy brand clothing.
Comedian Amy Schumer prefers to dress like a "newly-homeless person" because she values comfort over style.
Although the Trainwreck star fixes up fabulously for the red carpet, her everyday go-to outfits are far less chic.
"I would describe my personal style as a newly-homeless person," she joked to People.com. "Just comfortable and ready to sleep anywhere. I demand comfort at all times."
Amy stars in a new commercial for casual clothing brand Old Navy's Black Friday sale and admits signing up for the project was an absolute no-brainer, because her closet is filled with staple items from the label, and she also appreciates the fact that brand designers create clothes for all body types.
"I think it's great for women to learn how they can dress to feel great," she explains. "I'm not friends with anyone who looks like these mannequins."
"I found out with (stylist) Leesa Evans that clothes off the rack don't really fit anyone, but with Old Navy stuff you know you're going to be comfortable," she adds. "You can get it for a friend and it's not taking a huge risk.
"(Old Navy clothing) will fit. Or if it doesn't fit, it won't not fit in a way that will make you start crying."
Old Navy's Fight Night Black Friday sale kicks off on 23 November (16) and Amy will most certainly be one of the many people buying clothing from the label's website.
"I'd just like to buy my niece huge hats and scarves, and wrap her up like a little package!" she gushed.

Redpath revels in Cup success
Head coach Bryan Redpath admitted he was "chuffed to bits" for everybody involved with Gloucester after they won the LV= Cup final by defeating Newcastle Falcons 34-7 at Franklin's Gardens.
Having lost the past two Anglo-Welsh cup finals, Nicky Robinson's imperious kicking display coupled with four tries proved enough for Gloucester to extend their winning streak to 11 games.
"The players stuck to a lot of basics," said Redpath. "I thought Nicky's kicking to that bottom right-hand corner was exceptional and it just frustrated Newcastle. It gave us a bit of strength and then we took our opportunities."
He added: "I am delighted for the players and the staff. I am absolutely chuffed to bits for everybody involved with the club."
Gloucester are arguably the country's in-form side and are still in the hunt for the Aviva Premiership crown, but Redpath wanted the players to let their hair down after Sunday's victory.
"We have got to enjoy tonight and have a few beers," he said. "Everyone can relax and then it is mine and the other coaches job to make sure we are focused again on Tuesday morning. The players should be happy about winning something because we set our sights to get as high as we can in the Premiership and win a competition."
Newcastle head coach Alan Tait believes the final was a game too far for his side.
The Falcons languish second-bottom in the league and surprised many by reaching the Anglo-Welsh cup final, having sneaked past Harlequins 21-20 in the semi-finals.
"I shook Bryan's hand after the game and the first thing I said to him was 'it was probably a job too far for us'", said Tait.
"Full credit to what they are doing at Gloucester. They looked the part even in the warm-up. They are a good outfit.

Days later, I still can't get over the fact that NBC killed Kyle in Smash. Just when I was slowly falling in love with his character, they decided that he should emulate Jonathan Larson, the composer/playwright who died right before Rent's first preview. It was sudden and unexpected just like Larson's death. I felt like they didn't show enough of Kyle's character until the end which is a big shame. However, while it saddens me that he's not part of the show anymore, I do understand why they did it.
I just wish they also developed Tom and Kyle's relationship before the accident happened. The last episode, "The Phenomenon", showed clips on their relationship and it was endearing.
(Tom serenading Kyle with Billy Joel's Vienna.)
On a side note, Derek and Karen tried to get it on but failed. Maybe there just isn't enough spark. Also.. I would love for them to kill Jimmy because his character irritates me to no end.

SAN DIEGO — Your brave friends at MTV News have traveled to Camp Crystal Lake. We've seen the face of Jason Voorhees. And somehow, we've lived to talk about it.
In February, a baker's dozen of dumb teenagers won't be so lucky.
"The body count is 13," producer Brad Fuller revealed to us last weekend when we caught up with him at Comic-Con to discuss the "Friday the 13th" remake.
"I wish we could take credit for [the number of deaths]," he added, acknowledging the symmetry of 13 deaths in a "Friday the 13th" film "The writers, [Damian] Shannon and [Mark] Swift, after we had done everything, said, 'Did you notice how many kills there were?' And we said, 'Yeah, there are a lot.' They said, 'Actually, there are 13.' So the writers had figured that out."
"We also show what Jason's doing when he's not killing," added his producing partner, Andrew Form. Together, the producers have made recent remakes of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "The Amityville Horror" and "The Hitcher." "I think that's something different for the franchise. He plays 'Guitar Hero.' "
"He actually plays a mean banjo," Fuller laughed. "He's just great on it, and people didn't know that. It's fun to watch."
If you really believe Jason is jamming on his Xbox, well, you're as dumb as the 178 people he has dispatched on camera so far. But wait: Could a newer, smarter, faster, machete-wielding madman actually make his eternal struggle with sex-craved teens a bit more evenhanded?
"He just wants to be left alone," explained the massive Derek Mears, who we observed on set moving much faster and more realistically than the old Jason. "[Our character] has been rejected. He's pulled away from society. He wants to live by himself. And all of a sudden, these kids come into his area and disrespect his area. And he has nowhere to go. He's like a caged animal with his back against the wall and he, albeit in a bad way, protects himself."
"I had a lot of bruises," remembered Amanda Righetti, who plays one of the new-generation teens being tormented in the flick. "My knees got pretty damaged. I had some bad knee problems afterwards, and it took me about four weeks to really recover from it. It definitely isn't as campy as the original 'Friday the 13th' movies. They were what they were for their day. But when you look at them now, you don't get as creeped out. It's a different feel. I think the audiences are demanding a little bit more of horror movies now, so [ours] is a lot of blood and guts and weapons and stuff like that."
Taking over for the beloved Kane Hodder, Mears went to great lengths to ensure that his Jason wouldn't become another stiff guy with a hockey mask and a machete.
"[I've been] doing the character background, the victimization of Jason since he was abused as a child. He was always the outcast," Mears insisted, explaining that Voorhees is mentally ill. "He was always shunned by society. So I've taken the stance that it's almost like a Vietnam flashback, where someone has been victimized and abused so badly that when things resurface and these kids start to encroach on his area, he is once again having a flashback. It's a moment so intense that he's getting his revenge [for] when he saw his mother get murdered. He's still in the moment, like these people just recently murdered his mother, and he's having his revenge."
During their Comic-Con panel, the filmmakers unveiled the first trailer for the film. It began much like any of their recent remakes, with attractive teens wandering into a scary place (Jason's house) and then having something horrible happen (a machete pokes through the ground, goes through the teen boy, and a hand pulls him through the floor). But with later shots of teens running in the woods and a camera looking up at a woman swimming in Crystal Lake, viewers could definitely tell this is another installment in one of cinema's most successful franchises.
"We had to keep the hockey mask, which is where it all started, and Camp Crystal Lake as a jumping off point for us to go back to the first one," Form said of the "13th" elements that could never be removed.
"We wanted to make a movie that was fun, and we haven't done that before," Fuller added. "A lot of our movies, I think, have been more dreary and tended more towards what they call torture porn. ... The scares are so scary, but the scares are happening to kids that you love, because you had a fun experience with them. These are kids who are drinking, smoking and having sex, and it's been a long time since you've seen that on the big screen. We're hoping that those two things coming together will give the audience a new experience with a horror movie."
After nearly 200 killings, however, Mears said there's only one way that Jason would ever let you live, and no one has tried it yet. "Just make friends with him. That way, he won't be lonely," the immense actor grinned. "Grab a good Nerf football. A nice game of catch with Jason. No! He's like a wild animal. Let him be. Go your own way."

Rory Gallagher's appointment as manager has met with universal approval amongst the Fermanagh senior squad.
Wing-back Declan McCusker has revealed that the former Donegal boss was the number one choice to replace Pete McGrath as far as the players were concerned.
"I'm delighted," McCusker told The Irish News.
"I don't know if there's anybody better in the country we could have got.
"If it wasn't Fermanagh I'm sure there would have been plenty of other counties would have wanted him in and I'm sure plenty of the Donegal ones would have wanted to keep him too.
"Thankfully for us it has worked out. At the end of last year we didn't who was going to be coming in so to get the man that everybody wants is great.
"After he left Donegal the first thing all the boys were saying was: 'It would be great for Fermanagh to get him'. It's very good."

|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Recently rated by Money Magazine as one of the '10 Best Places to Vacation in the U.S. and Beyond', Sanibel Island is a beachcomber's dream and a perfect tropical destination for your next vacation!
We invite you to enjoy our premium-rated, direct beachfront unit in the Pointe Santo complex with an excellent panoramic oceanfront view from the lanai ...a great place to take the family for a getaway to paradise!
Pointe Santo is one of the most beautiful and requested properties on Sanibel Island. A little something for everyone at this one of a kind beachfront paradise! Spend a fun filled vacation in this two bedroom, two-bath private condominium.
Sun, fun, great shelling, and relaxation await you on the white sandy beaches of this delightful tropical escape located on the Gulf of Mexico!
Our second floor unit (E26) has many upscale amenities including: easy elevator access, a fully equipped kitchen, 32" LG LCD with DVD player in living room, TV/DVR combos in each bedroom, Cable TV, a mini-stereo with CD player in living room and in-unit washer and dryer.
Close by are many fun activities including world class shelling, golf courses, John 'Ding' Darling Wildlife Refuge, fishing/boating, bike rentals and bike paths throughout the island. Also nearby are grocery and souvenir stores plus unique world-class restaurants.
The slow pace on the island will allow you to unwind and refresh. Great care has been taken to set aside more than two-thirds of the island area through conservation efforts.
Even the buildings are low key with no-high rise condos allowed. In addition, no neon lights, no stoplights and very few nationally franchised restaurants adds to the charm of the island.
Keywords: Condominium
Had a wonderful stay at E26 Pointe Santo. It was fabulous location, could not have gotten closer to the ocean. Condo was very clean. Lots of beach toys for my 10 year old daughter. Chairs and umbrellas for the rest of the family. Would highly recommend. (There were some light stains on furniture in lanai and living room rug. But to be expected with all different families staying there. Did not bother our vacation.) I also did not see a guest book to sign as stated in a previous review. :( Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us. Would definitely come back and stay again at Pointe Santo E26!
I really don't understand all the reviews that rave about Pointe Santo and this unit. We have been renting in Sanibel for over 20 years, and based on our experience, this place gets a poor rating compared to other condos we have rented, and the complex gets a poor rating. The best part of the condo was the view from the balcony, but other than that it wasn't worth the high rental price we paid. The condo needs upgrading. The carpet in the living room had several stains with an obvious burn mark on it, the bathrooms were dated, and the material on the porch furniture was very stained and unsightly. We have rented gulf front units before for about the same price as we paid for this unit and got a lot more condo for our money.
Our family just returned home from our 4th summer in a row visiting Sanibel and our 4th summer in a row staying in this unit in Pointe Santo. Every year, we arrive and find nice upgrades have been made to the condo. This year, it looks like they got a new living room sofa & love seat, a new washer/dryer, new comforters on the beds and possibly new rugs/carpet.
Obviously, we love the unit. It's well stocked, comfortable and very clean. The view, though, is the absolute best part.. You are looking directly out on the gulf. The pictures don't lie!
It was pretty much decided before we even left that we will be coming back next year. We can't wait!
P.S. I just realized that I forgot to read the newest entries and write my own note in the guest book in the living room this year! It's one of my favorite parts of the vacation.
Loved this condo. Our vacation was awesome - we had so many beach toys to choose from in the closet. I think we had the best view at Pointe Santo. It was just really the perfect location. The bed was very comfortable; everything was clean. It was just a perfect week. We spent more time on the beach than we did in the condo, but when we were there, it was truly a home away from home.
We just returned from our third summer in a row on Sanibel and in this unit. We loved the recent upgrades: kitchen remodel/new fridge, flat screen TV in living room and especially the comfy new lanai furniture (might want to add new pics of them to this website!)
Everything I said in my review two years ago still stands. It's clean, has a nicely stocked kitchen & beach closet and has an amazing view of the beach. There are a few very small issues with the unit (washer/dryer, low A/C flow to the second bedroom), but I would not hesitate to stay there again and in fact, I am in the beginning stages of planning a return trip in 2014. I was hoping to get my family to Colorado to see the mountains next year, but everyone pretty much decided the minute we stepped back onto the island that we would come back to Sanibel and this unit next summer.
The unit was very clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and had a well stocked kitchen and an amazing view. I spent every morning on the lanai watching birds fly by the palm trees and pelicans dive bomb into the water for breakfast. I was surprised at how well stocked their beach closet was: kites, shell nets, masks, floaties/rafts, tennis rackets & balls, 4 beach chairs, an umbrella, "adult" shovels, "kid" shovels and buckets. My family thoroughly enjoyed Pointe Santo and this unit and would stay there again in a heart beat.
Please note that the current photos on VRBO of the two sets of bedding are outdated. The master bedroom now has a beautiful cream-colored bedspread and the second bedroom has beige and light blue bedspreads with seashells.

Academy of Tal R
Sommer Contemporary Art is proud to announce
Tal R
Academy of Tal R
at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
Opening May 20th, 2017
Gl Strandvej 13, 3050 Humlebæk, Denmark
Over the past decade Louisiana Museum of Modern Art has established a distinctive collection of works – especially paintings – by the Danish artist Tal R (b. 1967). The museum therefore thinks it is natural with him to round off the Louisiana trilogy of exhibitions of contemporary artists with painting as their focus: Peter Doig in 2015, Daniel Richter in 2016 and now Tal R in 2017. At the same time it is twenty years since Tal R made his debut in the museum world with his participation in The Louisiana Exhibition 1997. New art from Denmark and Scania.
is a wide-ranging exhibition which for the first time offers an overview of the past 20 years' active career. Since the 1990s Tal R, as one of the most striking artists of his generation, has exhibited around the world, especially in Europe, and his art is included in many central collections. He is an artist who with apparent ease and considerable visual impact expresses himself freely across painting, drawing, collage, artist books and sculpture.
The works in the exhibition offers Louisiana's guide to making sense of the essentials in Tal R's production: 55 paintings from the period from 1996 until now; collage pictures from 1997 to 2008; around 30 artist's books from 1996 until now; 32 sculptures from 2005 on; 25 drawings from 1997 until 2015; and a number of new works that have not been exhibited earlier.
Tal R's art may be tied to the material and content, but as a storyteller too he has had a keen eye from the outset for the neglected, hidden and marginalized spaces and for human beings in modern life. All that runs contrary to uniformity holds his interest as resources for his thinking and imagination. According to Tal R there is no straightforward path through life in terms of artistic awareness and personal expression. "The Academy of Life" leaves its traces, and we find them at the exhibition in the drawings from the 1990s from "The Back Garden" and onward to the empty shop fronts in the brand new works.
With his role as a rather lone wolf in terms of academic learning and at the same time his opposition to the decidedly political course in the 1990s, Tal R felt compelled to define painting in his own vital and up-to-the-minute way. One could say that his artworks function as a kind of portals for experience and emotions that can only be given meaning and fullness by the individual.
Further information about the exhibition Academy of Tal R is available from Curator Anders Kold or Head of Press Susanne Hartz. Press photos are available at www.louisiana.dk. A log-in can be ordered at e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or M +45 2858 5052.

Second Floor exhibit - History of Israeli Art
Michael Hittleman Gallery Cited in Hadassah Magazine Article
"Not that long ago, exhibitions of Israeli art in the United States were mostly the purview of Jewish museums, synagogues, Jewish organizations—and Michael Hittleman's eponymous and pioneering Los Angeles gallery, which opened in 1976."
Full article.
With Joshua Neustein at His Studio
Mar. 17 - We met with Joshua Neustein at his SoHo studio this past week. We looked over his famous Carbon Series works. These are works on old-fashioned carbon paper which has been folded, cut, abraded and layered.
Gallery Now Has All Four Aroch Prints
The Hittleman Gallery has acquired the Higgs Boson of Israeli art. We now have all four of Arie Aroch's super rare prints
for the first time in the history of the galaxy, er, gallery.
The fourth and final work is titled Two Trees in Memory of Hametzayer. The print is in memory of Mordechai Tzvi Mane, who was one of the fascinating figures in the "Love of Zion" movement (Chibat Zion). The tradition of planting trees in memory of Diaspora Jewry reflects Aroch's role as an emissary for the J.N.F. since his time in Buenos Aires in the late 1940s.
Aharon Bezalel, 1926-2012
Aug. 22 - Aharon Bezalel passed away this morning in Ein Kerem, Israel. We have represented his works and his brother, Avigdor's works, for decades.
Aharon is one of the best-known and most beloved Israeli sculptors with collectors all over the world.
We were fortunate to be able to see him last month on our trip to Israel. He was in poor health but we were hoping he would recover.
We spent a wonderful afternoon in his studio looking at works from all phases of his long career. We also purchased a
magnificent horse sculpture for the gallery. It is still in transit to the U.S.
Gallery Acquires Rare Aroch Lithograph
July 16 - The gallery has aquired the rare Aroch lithograph "Ratchik." It was a grocer's sign in his native Kharkov. It is his rarest graphic work - an edition of only 25. He may have signed only 16 of them. The gallery now has three of his four major prints.
Hittleman Gallery Acquires Aroch Lithographs
June 10 - The gallery has just acquired Arie Aroch's The Boat lithograph. This is the most famous of Aroch's images and the most famous image in Israeli art. With its iconic rowboat/infinity sign it speaks to rescue ships and the hope of a new land. Aroch created only a handful of prints in his life and they are the rarest works in Israeli art.
The gallery will now have two of them.

As beauty editors, you come to learn that some makeup products are easier to pick out than others. Sure, you've got your favorite mascara or lipstick and the day it gets discontinued is the day you give up on life, but there's really no greater task than finding the right coverage option for your skin. With tinted moisturizers, various foundation formulas, BB/CC and now even DD creams (no joke) on the market, sometimes you've just gotta jump in there and try a few options before you settle down. And that's just what we did with our beauty pick of the week! After hearing about this cutting-edge cream coverage, we decided to give it a try ourselves. Introducing the La-Roche Posay Effaclar BB Blur: We tried you for a week, and here's what we really think!
Right off the bat you can tell that when they say, "cream mousse" they really mean cream mouse ("they" being the package!). It comes out of the little tube like a fluffy cloud and just based on the texture, it's clear that this is one of those BB creams that can actually provide coverage.
RELATED: We Used BB/CC Cream for a Month & Here's What Happened
Because it's not just a BB, but a BB Blur, it instantly absorbs any shine and blurs away pores or blemishes you may have. Seriously! When applied with a damp makeup sponge, the coverage is completely smooth, even and almost airbrush-like. After over a week of daily use, it's safe to say that this oil-absorbing mousse feels like a lightweight tinted moisturizer, but is as buildable as medium-to-full coverage foundation, without the heavy feel of most mattifying options. Now you don't have to compromise on coverage just so you can feel like you're NOT wearing makeup. It's the best of both worlds!
While you may be more inclined to try this product if you have oily skin, rest assured that matte does not mean lackluster or flat! As someone that prefers a dewy finish, your complexion's natural glow still comes through! And if you're looking for an extra boost of luminosity, all you have to do is mix in a dab of liquid highlighter.
About the Author:Our goal is to create a beauty experience that's personalized, educational and, most of all, fun.

Aled Jones has revealed that he wants to end X Factor's monopoly on Christmas number ones.
The Welsh singer said he is hoping to finish the show's run of three consecutive festive chart toppers with his charity single 'Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth'.
The track, which features fellow Radio 2 DJ Terry Wogan, will raise funds for Children In Need.
"Chris Evans heard it and proclaimed to the nation that it was his ambition to make it the Christmas number one as the antidote to X Factor," Jones told DS.
"I think the words he used were, let X Factor be number one for 51 weeks of the year, but for just this one, let's have something Christmassy and sentimental."
He continued: "Anything that challenges the norm is great, I think. X Factor has a monopoly on it. The fact is that I don't see this as a novelty song, it's not 'Bob The Builder'. This is a little bit more serious and we put our heart and soul into it."
Commenting on Wogan's vocal contribution, Jones joked: "I think he may have been having sneaky lessons. I think if you have a listen to 'Floral Dance' and then listen to this, he's much better on this. He's aged like a fine wine."
X Factor winners Leon Jackson, Leona Lewis and Shayne Ward landed the last three Chirstmas top spots.

THE SNP last night criticised a speaker at it's own party conference who compared the rest of Britain to Josef Fritzl, "abusing Scotland in a basement".
Robin McAlpine, right, compared England and Scotland's relationship to the Josef Fritzl abuse case
Robin McAlpine is among a group of radical activists and would-be Nationalist MPs due to address a fringe event at the party's pre-election gathering in Glasgow.
Child abuse campaigners condemned his "appalling" comments, prompting the SNP to "agree that these remarks are offensive and totally inappropriate"
It is an embarrassing outcome for the party, with Mr McAlpine - who played a key role in the Yes campaign - expected to address hundreds of party members on Saturday.
In an online article published earlier this month, he said: "Britain, when you told us how much you valued us in your family of nations, we didn't realise it was going to be the Fritzl family and you were going to keep us in a basement and abuse us."
The former Labour press officer is now the director of the Common Weal think tank, which has organised the lunchtime event at Glasgow's SECC with the Electoral Reform Society (ERS) Scotland.
Other speakers include Alavaro Blasquez, from the Edinburgh branch of Spanish anti-capitalist party Podemos, and Natalie McGarry, the SNP's candidate for Glasgow East.
I think that was a very, very low thing to say
Last night, Marilyn Hawes, founder of the Enough Abuse UK charity, said: "There are far better ways of making a political point than resorting to a cheap trick like that.
"Lives were devastated by the Fritzl case and you can't even begin to compare it to the relationship of countries within the United Kingdom. It just shows the ignorance and lack of understanding of those people at the top who are the so-called decision makers.
"Having a political opinion is one thing, this is a free country and we are all entitled to our views but don't resort to cheap tricks. I think that was a very, very low thing to say."
Ms Hawes, who founded the charity after a police investigation into the abuse of her three boys in 2002, added: "I think it shows a lack of empathy and also a lack of intellect, especially for somebody who is the director of a think tank; he obviously doesn't think very clearly about what he says."
Alan Draper, chairman of the In Care Abuse Survivors charity, called for First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to distance herself from the remarks.
He said: "Fritzl tortured that child and used her as a sex slave, so how he compare that with the situation vis a vis Scotland is ludicrous and just beyond belief.
The Scots are free. We can argue about the financial strings being pulled from Westminster but this comparison is at the other end of the scale. I would hope the SNP will say his comments were totally inappropriate."
Labour MSP Paul Martin said: "These are disgusting comments. Child sexual abuse is an incredibly serious issue and not a joke. Robin McAlpine's remarks will be condemned by anyone with any sense of right and wrong. The SNP should be making him apologise, not giving him a platform to promote his abhorrent views."
Mr McAlpine's article on the pro-independence Bella Caledonia website on March 9 drew dozens of supportive comments, although some readers objected to the Fritzl reference.
The evil Austrian imprisoned his daughter Elizabeth in his basement for 24 years, with his repeated rapes resulting in seven children being born - four of whom were also confined. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2009.
Last night, an SNP spokesman said: "Mr McAlpine is not a member of the SNP and we agree with the charities that these remarks are offensive and totally inappropriate."
The furore is likely to take the shine off new figures showing the conference to be the party's biggest ever, with 3,000 delegates compared to 1,200 at the previous conference in Perth last November.
However, the Common Weal event highlights the growing pressure to 'lurch to the left' to satisfy the thousands of new members who have joined the party since the referendum.

Same Michel Thomas method, more relaxed delivery
- Marissa Blaszko
perhaps it's just the method that is terrible... 2.5 hrs of lesson.. only 1 hour of actual learning. the rest is the "teacher" correcting the "students'" incorrect pronunciation or word choice or explaining how Polish is a positive language. Teacher speaks in English after teaching you the words in Polish.. then the students are asked to say the phrase in Polish.. 1 out of every 3 times they say it either completely wrong or mispronounced. Unfortunately you have already repeated their incorrect pronunciation. (so you just learned it wrong)
If you learn well from a classroom environment.. teacher standing at the front of the class quizzing clueless students in language then, hey... this is for you. If not.. then please stay the hell away from this book.
Jolanta the narrator does a good job clearly pronouncing the words.
Never.. ever .. again...
Do not allow the "students" to mispronounce or incorrectly phrase the words translated.
Focus less on learning how to say words like Tragic to explain form and stick with things a user need for an introductory class like... "I am hungry, where is a restaurant.", "where is the bus", "where is the consulate", "Can you help me"
having listened to several other Polish language courses I have to compare them to this one and I want to say No .. zero redeeming qualities. but, perhaps the fact that the listener will learn masculine vs feminine phrasing so there's that.
don't waste so much time with correcting students.. If I want to hear words mispronounced I can listen to myself repeating them.

One thing about apartment hunting in New York City when you are not feelthy steenking reech is that no matter how nasty you think the last apartment you saw was, the next one will inevitably be nastier. We once looked at one in lower Manhattan that had the shower in a what was basically a closet, just off the kitchen, and the toilet in another closet at the far end of the apartment.
The toilet was 300 feet from the kitchen sink, which was apparently also meant to be the bathroom sink. Gross! We wonder if places like this (and there are many in the city) would've looked better to us had the landlords installed something like this $89 Toilet Lid Sink, which saves space as well as water, by using the water you washed your hands with in the sink to flush the toilet.

Defining the Resistance in Iraq - It's Not 0aforeign and It's Well Prepared
By Scott Ritter
Christian Science Monitor
Monday 10 November 2003
UN weapons inspector saw 'blueprints' for Monday's 0ainsurgency
In the Baghdad suburb of Abu Ghraib is a compound on 0aan abandoned airstrip that once belonged to a state organization known as M-21, 0aor the Special Operations Directorate of the Iraqi Intelligence Service. As a UN 0aweapons inspector, I inspected this facility in June of 1996. We were looking 0afor weapons of mass destruction (WMD). While I found no evidence of WMD, I did 0afind an organization that specialized in the construction and employment of "improvised explosive devices" - the same IEDs that are now killing Americans 0adaily in Iraq.
When we entered the compound, three Iraqis tried to 0aescape over a wall with documents, but they were caught and surrendered the 0apapers. Like reams of other documents stacked inside the buildings, these papers 0adealt with IEDs. I held in my hands a photocopied primer on how to conduct a 0aroadside ambush using IEDs, and others on how to construct IEDs from 0aconventional high explosives and military munitions. The sophisticated plans - 0aalbeit with crude drawings - showed how to take out a convoy by disguising an 0aIED and when and where to detonate it for maximum damage.
Because WMD was what we were charged with looking 0afor, we weren't allowed to take notes on this kind of activity. But, when we 0areturned to our cars, we carefully reconstructed everything we saw.
What I saw - and passed on to US intelligence 0aagencies - were what might be called the blueprints of the postwar insurgency 0athat the US now faces in Iraq. And they implied two important facts that US 0aauthorities must understand:
- The tools and tactics killing Americans today in Iraq are those of the 0aformer regime, not imported from abroad.
- The anti-US resistance in Iraq today is Iraqi in nature, and more broadly 0abased and deeply rooted than acknowledged.
IEDs are a terrifying phenomenon to the American 0asoldiers patrolling Iraq. The IED has transformed combat into an anonymous 0aambush, a nerve-racking game of highway roulette that has every American who 0aenters a vehicle in Iraq today (whether it be the venerable, and increasingly 0avulnerable, Humvee, or an armored behemoth like the M-1 Abrams tank) wondering 0aif this ride will be their last.
Far from representing the tactics of desperate 0aforeign terrorists, IED attacks in Iraq can be traced to the very organizations 0amost loyal to Saddam Hussein. M-21 wasn't the only unit trained in IEDs. During 0aan inspection of the Iraqi Intelligence Service's training academy in Baghdad in 0aApril 1997, I saw classrooms for training all Iraqi covert agents in the black 0aart of making and using IEDs. My notes recall tables piled with mockups of mines 0aand grenades disguised in dolls, stuffed animals, and food containers - and 0aclassrooms for training in making car bombs and recruiting proxy agents for 0ausing explosives.
That same month, I inspected another facility, 0alocated near the wealthy Al Mansur district of Baghdad, that housed a combined 0aunit of Hussein's personal security force and the Iraqi Intelligence Service. 0aThe mission of this unit was to track the movement and activities of every Iraqi 0aresiding in that neighborhood straddling the highway that links the presidential 0apalace with Saddam International Airport.
A chilling realization overcame us when we entered a 0agymnasium-sized room and saw that the floors were painted in a giant map of the 0aneighborhood. The streets were lined with stacked metallic "in-box" trays - each 0astack represented a house or apartment building. A three-story building, for 0aexample, contained three levels of trays; each tray contained dossiers on each 0acitizen living on that floor. Similar units existed in other neighborhoods, 0aincluding those deemed "anti-regime."
Hussein's government was - and its remnants are - 0aintimately familiar with every square inch of Baghdad: who was loyal, where they 0alive, and who they associated with. (The same can be said about all of Iraq, for 0athat matter, even the Kurdish and Shiite regions.) This information allows 0aofficials from the remnants of Hussein's intelligence and security services to 0ahide undetected among a sympathetic population. Indeed, a standard quotient 0aamong counterinsurgency experts is that for every 100 active insurgents fielded, 0athere must be 1,000 to 10,000 active supporters in the local population.
Though the Bush administration consistently 0acharacterizes the nature of the enemy in Iraq as "terrorist," and identifies the 0aleading culprits as "foreign fighters," the notion of Al Qaeda or Al Ansar al 0aIslam using Baghdad (or any urban area in Iraq) as an independent base of 0aoperations is far-fetched. To the extent that foreigners appear at all in 0aBaghdad, it is likely only under the careful control of the pro-Hussein 0aresistance, and even then, only to be used as an expendable weapon in the same 0away one would use a rocket-propelled grenade or IED.
The growing number, sophistication, and diversity of 0aattacks on US forces suggests that the resistance is growing and becoming more 0aorganized - clear evidence that the US may be losing the struggle for the hearts 0aand minds of the Iraqi people.
To properly assess the nature of the anti-American 0aresistance in Iraq today, one must remember that the majority of pro-regime 0aforces, especially those military units most loyal to Hussein, as well as the 0aentirety of the Iraqi intelligence and security forces, never surrendered. They 0asimply melted away.
Despite upbeat statements from the Bush 0aadministration to the contrary, the reality is that the Hussein regime was not 0adefeated in the traditional sense, and today shows signs of reforming to 0acontinue the struggle against the US-led occupiers in a way that plays to its 0aown strengths, and exploits US weakness.
For political reasons, the Bush administration and 0athe Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) haven't honestly confronted this 0areality for fear of admitting that they totally bungled their prewar assessments 0aabout what conditions they would face in postwar occupied Iraq.
The failure to realistically assess the 0aanti-American resistance in Iraq means that "solutions" the US and CPA develop 0ahave minimal chance of success because they're derived from an inaccurate 0aidentification of the problem.
The firestorm of anti-US resistance in Iraq 0acontinues to expand - and risks growing out of control - because of the void of 0aviable solutions. Unless measures are taken that recognize that the tattered 0aHussein regime remains a viable force, and unless actions are formulated 0aaccordingly, the conflict in Iraq risks consuming the US in a struggle in which 0athere may be no prospect of a clear-cut victory and an increasing possibility of 0adefeat.
Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector in 0aIraq (1991-1998), is author of 'Frontier Justice: Weapons of Mass Destruction 0aand the Bushwhacking of America.'

text: Hi There seem to be quite a few threads on issues caused by the Facebook link but few solutions, and nothing quite as drastic as I seem to have. I had the problem that recently Facebook caused multiplt (10s!) of entries for each contact. I switched off the view in people but this didn't help with the text message list and in searching these forums found a suggestion to check in accounts & sync and delete the main Facebook account and unsync the Facebook for HTC as a clash between these was suspected. However once I did this my contacts broke completely! Now nothing involving contacts - phone, text, people will load at all, the sync circle sits stationary in my task bar and the phone has generally gone slow and unhappy (obviously have turned off and on, and removed battery) Can anyone suggest anything to save me from a hard reset? (this is unsurprisingly the HTC helplines' suggestion) many thanks

Dayton, Carson will play grid openers
August 30, 2013
Are you ready for some football?
The answer is a resounding yes from Carson coach Blair Roman and Dayton coach Rob Turner. After missing scrimmages last weekend, both coaches are anxious to get the season started this weekend.
Dayton was originally scheduled to host Lovelock tonight at 7. Because the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association banned athletic contests in five counties because of poor air quality, Dayton opted to play at Lovelock. Carson was scheduled to play at Hug at 7 p.m. today, but no games are allowed in Washoe County this weekend. Instead, Carson will travel to Lovelock on Saturday for a 1 p.m. game against the Hawks.
It capped a wild day for Carson High Athletic Director Bob Bateman, who spent the day trying to find a venue. At first, he was trying to line up Fernley High for a site because the Vaqueros had the night off, but the NIAA quashed that because of the air quality problem. Then, Spanish Springs called to see if Carson wanted to be part of a varsity doubleheader in Redding, Calif., because Bishop Manogue, the Cougars' original opponent didn't want to travel. Bateman said after conferring with CHS principal Ron Beck and Superintendent Richard Stokes that Stokes preferred that Carson play a little closer to home. Lovelock stepped up and offered Carson the facility on Saturday.
The decision certainly made Roman a happy camper.
"I'm stoked about it," Roman said after a brief outdoor practice on Thursday. "I'm glad it worked out; that we got a venue. I want to thank Lovelock for stepping up and helping us out. Having this game is huge. Not having a scrimmage hurt. We'll be able to evaluate where we're at.

"Hug is an improved team. They won their last game of the season, and we haven't won since Sept. 21, and that's weighed heavily on our minds. I'm concerned about Hug's quickness. We need to be able to make tackles in the open field. The important thing for us is to focus on what we're doing. Offensively we want to execute what we do well and make adjustments from there."
The lack of a scrimmage robbed Roman of a chance to look at his entire 57-man roster. He said the emphasis will be on winning.
"The game will dictate that (participation)," Roman said. "We've got our depth chart set. We'll start the game with our starters. It would be nice to get a look at a lot of players. I'm just worried about getting a win."
Garrett Schafer will start under center, and Roman expects him to go the distance.
The only starter who may not play is linebacker Austin Shaffer (shoulder).
Turner, while happy to get an opportunity to play, was concerned whether his team would be ready, especially on offense where changes have been made.
"I don't feel we're quite prepared," Turner said. "We've only had two padded practices. Losing the scrimmage was really tough. I don't know who is ready and who isn't ready. We'll be evaluating everybody (the Dust Devils carry 23 players). I don't feel I've had time to work on special teams. You can't work on special teams when you're inside. You can't kick the ball obviously.
"Our defense is pretty solid. We have a lot of returning players on defense, and I put the top JV kids from last year on defense. I don't think we have a lot of question marks on defense."
Davis Winebarger will start under center with Skyler Bernston in a back-up role. Berntson filled in at quarterback last season, but he's really valuable in the defensive backfield. Austin Fletcher will be the workhorse in the offensive backfield while Berntson will see action there, too.
Fletcher, Jack Phillips and Jonathan Joyner are expected to carry a heavy load on the defensive side of the ball along with fireplug Jesus Castaneda.

Element Moving and Storage destroyed and stole my goods, Carrollton, Texas
*UPDATE Employee: Fair & Reasonable
lies, or the theft/damage. The move cost over $6000.00 and they stole or damaged over $7000.00 worth of items. The boxes that were missing just mysteriously disappeared, very personal items and the owner of the company, Elle Nesher, could not care less. I made my claim and jumped through all the hoops they said to. They have sent me a check for $69.00 to "reimburse"
me. $69.00 !!!!!! That's it. Even with the .60 cents per pound per article, the amount should have been close to $1000.00 since the weight of the goods damaged/stolen was over 1500 pounds. No phone calls of apology, no attempt on the companies part to right the situation. Wooden bookcases were completely demolished. Dresser drawers ruined. Kitchen table and chairs, all solid oak, were cracked and chipped. Large picture boxes, the ones that plainly state "do not lay flat" were shoved in between boxes, flat of course, and the company claims they are not responsible for the items broken inside the boxes. So many things were
broken. So many things missing. They swore up and down that ALL their employees were Element employees, but a completely different company showed up with my shipment, Bekin Van lines...certainly not Element Moving and Storage. After I made it clear to every company I got quotes from that I DID NOT want to do business with a company who outsourced any part of my
move. This was extremely important to me and the company knew this, so they lied to get my business. They said 10 days for the move, it took three weeks. I was robbed, disrespected and disregarded. Do not use this company.

SUBMITTED: Monday, September 24, 2012POSTED: Monday, September 24, 2012
Ms. Stafford,
We are sorry that you found our claim settlement offer unsatisfactory. The offer was based on the missing items you claimed, 4 boxes missing : 3 medium and 1 small. When a customer packs the boxes, that we move, we cannot determine the contents of those boxes. We do not know what a shipper has inside of the boxes. Respectfully, we cannot accept responsibility or liability for items that you have claimed as missing inside of your packed by owner boxes. Our inventory showed the quantity of cartons, we did not have anything to substantiate the exact contents of each carton nor is that a requirement for owner-packed shipments. Thus, there is no clear evidence to support that the items in question- claimed as missing or stolen ever came into our possession. Additionally, we did not unpack the shipment so we dont know whether anything may have been discarded with the packing material.
The damaged items you claimed were not validated with photographs, as requested. Some of the damaged items you said were discarded. It is customary for a claimant to submit photographs of the damaged items, or to at least have the damaged items available for inspection by the carrier. There were no notations of any damaged items on the inventory record or delivery receipt.
We have checked the inventory, which was prepared when your household goods were loaded and find that all of the articles included in the shipment are in fact shown on the inventory and were delivered to your destination residence. Your signature on the inventory at the delivery attests to this without any notations regarding loss and/or damage.
In regard to your statement: They said 10 days for the move, it took three weeks. We have reviewed your pick up date and the actual delivery date, and it was only 10 business days. We suggest you look at the document entitled: Interstate Household Goods Bill of Lading to confirm the pick-up and delivery dates for yourself.
Lacking evidence to support any mishandling on our part of our personnel, we are unable to offer additional compensation.
