Melissa Merli: Printmaking resurrected
Ten years ago, after University of Illinois art Professor Dennis Rowan retired, the printmaking program at the university seemed to die out.
Most folks who follow the arts scene and the School of Art + Design, where Rowan had taught for 41 years, assumed that the presses and other equipment were gone.
But most of it remains in the basement of Noble Hall across from the Art + Design building, according to Alan Mette, associate director of the school.
And this fall, a printmaker joined the Art + Design faculty.
Assistant Professor Emmy Lingsheit is spending this semester working on putting in order the printmaking facility in Noble Hall, where the university has renovated the infrastructure, including fortifying the floor, removing some walls and improving ventilation.
"The university is making a serious effort in terms of renovating the space," Mette said Thursday.
In the spring, Lingsheit will start to teach courses: introduction to printmaking and relief printing. Besides setting up shop this semester, she's planning the curriculum and assembling supplies.
"We'll really be set up to do everything," she said.
That includes etching, screen printing, lithography and monoprints.
The School of Art + Design won't, at least for the foreseeable future, grant degrees in printmaking. It never was a degree-granting program, Mette said.
To grant degrees in a new subject area, the UI would first need the approval of the state Board of Higher Education. And gaining that is not easy, he said.
"At this point, we'll build the classes and go from there," he said.
Around the same time Rowan retired — he continues to live in this area and make art — UI studio glass Professor William Carlson left to chair the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Miami (Florida).
A lot of people here grumbled about the disappearance of the printmaking and glass programs at Illinois. The university kept some of the glass-making equipment but does not plan to bring that program back, Mette said.
He said by the time Rowan retired and Carlson left, there had been low student demand in those areas. Also, Illinois State and Southern Illinois universities have strong studio-glass programs, so the UI doesn't want to duplicate their offerings, Mette said.
I first met Lingscheit — she's 32 but looks younger — at the opening earlier this month of the Art + Design Faculty Exhibition at Krannert Art Museum. The show remains there through Jan. 5, so you have a while to see it.
She contributed three pieces: "Mountain Lion Deconstruction" and "Pronghorn Deconstruction" are drawings, and "Crow Deconstruction" is lithography with hand coloring. All three show that she's quite skilled.
Lingsheit and art education Assistant Professor Jorge Lucero discussed their work during a gallery talk Thursday. Lingsheit said she's long been fascinated by animals; her work centers around the relationships between humans and nature. The mountain lion, antelope and crows in her print and drawings at first appear dismembered, as one viewer said later to me. But instead they have been deconstructed to appear as pieces of model kits for building animals.
Lingsheit also was thinking about the control we humans try to exert over animals, the ways we experience animals, our fear of and revulsion as well as our empathy toward animals.
In her talk, she also referred to authors and philosophers she had read, among them Rene Descartes (1596-1650), who famously regarded animals as machines, devoid of emotions.
She also discussed "rewilding," the process of reinstating species in various environments, often to protect and restore the areas.
Lingsheit was born and raised in South Dakota and has a bachelor's of fine arts degree in painting from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota.
She studied art for a semester in the Czech Republic and later worked at the Highpoint Center for Printmaking in Minneapolis as a recipient of the Jerome Emerging Printmakers Residency in 2006 and then as a member of the Highpoint Print Cooperative.
As a graduate teaching associate at the University of Tennessee, she taught printmaking and art foundations courses and traveled to Poland for a printmaking residency. She graduated with her MFA in printmaking in 2012.
RIP, Bob Smith
I always enjoyed chatting with Bob Smith whenever I saw him at Krannert Art Museum or elsewhere in town. He was so kind to and supportive of me and my work — and definitely the arts in general.
I was sad to read on Wednesday that Mr. Smith died last month at age 85. A memorial service for him will take place at 2:30 p.m. today at Krannert Art Museum, 500 E. Peabody Drive, C.
Mr. Smith was primarily a pianist, and I was impressed while reading of his accomplishments in music and education, including at Illinois, where he was on the music faculty and retired in 1983 as a full professor.
He was quite active in recent decades at Krannert Art Museum, where he was the chairman of the research committee for many years.
In that role, he helped develop historical information about the museum collection and to develop the collection catalog.
In 2011, the museum council, a group of volunteers who work to benefit the museum, honored him as the "Unsung Hero of the Year."
Bob LaFrance, curator of pre-modern art at Krannert, called Mr. Smith a dedicated and extremely active docent.
"He was committed to this work," LaFrance said via email. "For example, Bob and his friend James Sinclair traveled to England to research (Krannert's) Gainsborough portrait of Mrs. Henry Fane, and they even met descendants of the Fane family."
The curator and volunteer became friends during the editing of "Krannert Art Museum: Selected Works," published in 2008. Mr. Smith authored or co-authored more than a dozen entries in that catalog; LaFrance called him a sharp and economical writer.
"He was also an important donor to the museum, and I processed his large gifts of works of art and talked to him about the importance of art conservation, which can be underfunded at many museums," LaFrance said.
Mr. Smith left the museum a permanent legacy: The Travis B. Poole and Robert B. Smith Conservation and Preservation Fund, named in part after Mr. Smith's former partner.
It was typical of him to put his own name second, LaFrance said.
"But what I remember most is that Bob visited me at the museum nearly every Tuesday, rain or shine, and we always met for our birthday lunches," the curator said. "Our conversations covered a wonderful range of topics, and Bob often brought in articles to discuss or we would talk about trips to Europe.
"Several times, he opened a bag and produced a work of art like a rabbit from a hat. That object then became the subject of a full-blown scholarly investigation. He was fiercely independent, went to the gym nearly every weekday and kept an active schedule almost to the end."
Mr. Smith's obituary is at http://bit.ly/16yMDrz.

Pierce Transit's Board of Commissioners voted at its July 10 meeting to change SHUTTLE paratransit fares starting Sept. 1. Approval of the new fares follows a public hearing on the proposed new fares in June.
The cost for a SHUTTLE paratransit ride will change from $1.25 to $1.75. Even with the new rate, Pierce Transit will have among the lowest-cost paratransit fares in the region, with King County Metro currently at $1.75 per ride, and Community Transit (Snohomish County) at $2.25 per ride. Under ADA law, transit agencies may charge up to twice the fixed-route fare for a comparable SHUTTLE trip. The current cost for a Pierce Transit fixed-route ride is $2.00.
Current and future SHUTTLE fares are as follows:
Category – Current rate – New rate (effective Sept. 1)
SHUTTLE Cash Fare – $1.25 – $1.75
SHUTTLE One-Ride Tickets * – $1.25 – $1.75
SHUTTLE Monthly Pass – $45 – $63
* Certified Human Service Agencies may purchase one-ride tickets. One-ride tickets are not available to the general public.
All other fares will remain the same.
While implementing a SHUTTLE fare increase, Pierce Transit is also putting plans in place for new technology that will provide SHUTTLE users with many new benefits, including:
- The ability for customers to confirm their ride(s) 24 hours a day, seven days a week (currently only possible from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.)
- The option to receive a confirmation call the night before the ride;
- The ability to check on the status of a ride via voice system, without having to wait on hold for a dispatcher; and
- The option to receive an alert when the SHUTTLE vehicle is on the way to pick them up.
The new features are expected to be available by early 2018.

I kicked off my holiday weekend in a big way. Here is an inside look at my Grind Date Friday: Dropped The Passion of (The) Sleaze video trailer. I'm so excited to be shooting, directing, and editing a video from start to finish. I could not be working with better brothers than The Honorable Sleaze and Brad Ohbliv. S/O Just Plain Sounds. Check out the trailer and let me know what you think.
After the trailer dropped, I headed out to The Shop to meet Sleaze and Ohbliv to finish the video. It's not done yet but we got most of the work done. Watch out for the full video in June!
7:00 PM It was time to hit West Coast Kix in Carytown to see more Cheats Movement Fam, the very talented Hamilton Glass AKA HAM?. HAM? was kicking off his Last Friday Art Show. I'd been looking forward to the show for about a month and it was great to see RVA come out to support. I also met the lovely Shannon Santiago. Shannon is a photographer extraordinaire that collaborated with HAM? for the show. She also comes with a very funny bodyguard – S/O Cindy (JRT). S/O to the amazing Glass family – Taekia and Sanaa I see you. And my man Distant Dee!
8:30 PM Off to Gallery 5 to catch the Richmond Comedy Coalition (Voted Best Comedy Group in RVA for the 2nd year in a row). Richmond Famous is one of my favorite shows because the RCC takes great stories from some of RVA's most interesting peeps and do improv motivated by the stories. Last night's featured guest were the ladies from Rumors Boutique. I've always been a huge fan of Casey Longyear and Marshe Wyche since I heard their story years ago. I met them both before but I've haven't been able to land a The Cheats Movement profile with them just yet… but I have not given up hope :). The show was great – The RCC is always awesome. S/O to Dirty Richmond and Bree El – spoiler alert: the much missed (by me) Sunday Cypher will return! And word on the street…there will be a great comedy night coming up a Pie (on Lombardy). S/O to Kristen – Have fun in France.
11:00 PM Final stop of the night was at Belly Timber to meet up with Bar Codez and J. Bryant from Photosynthesizers. Photos had just played Friday Night Cheers earlier in the evening. I also caught up with the lovely Maat Free (2011 Vegi Iron Chief)…big plans in the works! All this and not to mention, I just spoke with Black Liquid and he said another great Face Melt Friday went down last night
RVA has some crazy energy right night now. And it's all love. Go out and see it all – WE SEE IT! Enjoy your holiday weekend.

Anupama Airy
In the wake of the ongoing tensions in the state of Jammu and Kashmir along the Indo-Pak border, the Indian Army decided to keep the celebrations low key during this festive season of Diwali.
Prime Minister, Narendra Modi along with the Gen Dalbir Singh, spent Diwali with the frontline troops, guarding and defending our borders despite inhospitable terrain and weather and continuous unprovoked firing by Pakistani soldiers and its sponsored terrorists.
Significantly, PM Modi since coming to power has spent every Diwali with his soldiers. Even this Diwali, they shared time with our brave troops guarding a strategically important place along the Indo-China border in Himachal Pradesh.
The PM has also dedicated this Diwali to our brave soldiers during his Mann Ki Baat.
For the first time ever and as a mark of respect to the soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice in Uri and other areas, the Indian Chief of Army Staff, General Dalbir Singh cancelled the traditional open house that is held every year at the Army House in New Delhi during Diwali. It is during this annual event of open house that anybody in Army Headquarters along with veterans get together at the official residence of the COAS to celebrate the festival of Diwali and interact with the hierarchy.
Spent time with our courageous @ITBP_official & Army Jawans at Sumdo, Kinnaur district, Himachal Pradesh. Jai Jawan! Jai Hind! pic.twitter.com/rezkEW2kTT
— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) October 30, 2016
The COAS in a silent expression of solidarity with his frontline troops and the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who are suffering immensely due to Pakistan's unprovoked ceasefire violations, decided to call off this annual event. This move assumes significance as the recent history, despite all the ups and downs, this event has never been cancelled before, not even during the Kargil war. Similar sentiments were visible at other Military stations across the country.
Even the Infantry Day celebrations of 27 Oct were restricted to wreath laying at the India Gate with the celebratory and customary Infantry Day lunch being cancelled as a mark of respect and to honour the brave martyrs who made the supreme sacrifice in Uri and other areas while guarding our borders in inclement weather, along inhospitable terrain and fighting the terrorists and giving a befitting reply to Pakistan's nefarious designs.

Marketers, I have a newsflash for you: Many of us are doing social media entirely wrong. Last week, Socialbakers conducted a social media pulse check across 82 countries and 20 industries in order to discover what we're focusing on and, more important, what we're not. And do you know what they found? 61.7% of brands' social media strategies are focused on customer acquisition, while only 28.9% are focused on customer care. Let's think about that for a second. There's a huge disconnect here.
Social media is not search. On social media, brands are not competing with other brands. They're competing with pictures of my best friend's baby or engagement pictures. But more often than not, we are thinking of social media as search.
Here's one thing marketers need to focus on in order to shift this thinking.

Lyrics and music by RAW Boswin
I'll be home for Christmas,
I'll have an awful lot to say,
Like its funny how we wait until December
To put our swords away…
I will bring my presence,
I'll leave behind my pride
We'll talk until we both remember…
On Christmas Night,
I will leave a candle burning bright.
Open up my arms and I will try.
'Til everything's forgiven, and every little thing's alright
As long as we're together Christmas Night… Yeah Yeah
As long as we're together, Every Christmas Night
I will bring my gift from you.
We'll sing together like we used to.
Remember ordinary days,
Before we all moved away.
But I swear I heard the angels in the choir,
Cuz' your smile is such a welcome sight
Again, its good to warm my bones beside this fire
Chorus as above +
As long as we're together, Every Christmas Night
Every Christmas Night
Every Christmas Night

A street sign
Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see..." From the Gospel of Matthew, appointed for this Third Sunday of Advent
John the Baptist was in doubt. He reached out to Jesus, who replied with more than words - he gave John reassuring, visible evidence. "...the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news brought to them. And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me."
We need signs. The most faithful among us have episodes or even seasons of doubt, fear and despair.
Advent is full of signs - dreams and visions, prophetic promises and fulfilling events, a guiding star. But for those of us who, like John the Baptist, have already followed the big signs and believed, there remains the need for encouraging markers in daily life. We need reassurance that the difficult path of faith is the right one.
I was feeling a bit down and sorry for myself this a.m. I'm going to spare you all the whiny details of why. Along with the mood, I was shoveling a Camry-wide path through my post-blizzard driveway so I could get my car down to the street. The city had plowed the road, thank God, but that left a formidable snow wall across the end of my driveway. I created a path just wide enough to get my car through and started to head in for coffee and a hot shower before church.
Then I noticed a neighbor's garage door open; out he came with a wave to start his own version of the job I'd just done. I still had shovel in hand, so I went over to help him out.
We got his path done in short order, but I realized that those extra minutes were going to make me late to church if I took my hot shower. So I guzzled my coffee and I shaved, but kept on my less than pleasant snow clearin' clothes. I still had more than half of my driveway, my sidewalks and the walkway to the front door to clear after church.
I got home after the lightly attended services to find my whole driveway and the sidewalks cleared of snow - all I had to do was a few feet of walkway. I have to assume that the neighbor had done all that to say "Thanks," but he did work way out of proportion to the few shovels full I'd given him earlier.
It was a sign for me. It was a sign of kindness and generosity against my grim and self-absorbed mood. It was a sign of getting back from having given, and getting back way more than was given away. It was a sign that doing the right thing was, well, the right thing to do.
My morning blues plus the Gospel about John the Baptist had me thinking about the need for signs. What a blessing to have one waiting right there on my street.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund said on Thursday differences were narrowing in Greek debt talks with European lenders and it hoped an agreement could be reached in time for next week's Eurogroup meeting.
"I would characterize the discussions as making progress, differences are narrowing but we're not there yet," IMF spokesman Gerry Rice told reporters without elaborating on the specifics of the progress.
IMF chief Christine Lagarde is set to attend the meeting in Luxembourg on June 15.

A vote for RM400
I read an account on the Internet by a Chinese youth in KT who is too young to vote. He has an uncle who is a longstanding member of the local MCA. Having been saturated with political education by DAP ceramah speakers, the uncle went to BN meetings and asked questions raised in the campaign. He was hushed down immediately.
So now the uncle has decided to vote for PAS, though he was offered RM400 by the BN for his vote. The wise nephew advised him to take the money and vote for PAS. The older man told him that he must photograph his vote inside the polling booth on his mobile phone, and send the picture of his actual vote to the paymaster, or else he would not be paid. If he does not have an expensive mobile phone, one would be provided for him. If he is found to have voted for PAS, all kinds of punishment will descend upon him after the by-election.
Having been at the receiving end of many campaigns of money politics, I find this story believable. This device of using the mobile phone to monitor voter's actual vote violates the secrecy of the vote, and is obviously against the election laws. But in a small town where everybody knows everybody, the uncle is unlikely to lodge a police report over it.
The obvious thing for the Election Commission to do is to ban all voters from bringing their mobile phones into the polling centre. The opposition election agents must also object vehemently to the use of the mobile phone inside the voting booth.

Despite having been diagnosed with dyslexia, I achieved marks throughout high school, and was placed in the top 1% for my year in Tasmania.
ExperienceI have one year experience working with children in an occupational therapy private practice and have been providing tutoring services for 4 years.
I employ a play based approach to tutoring, and over the last three years have developed a number of games designed to target different learning areas. I have receive a lot of positive feedback from parents regarding their children's progress.
Through my university training I have developed an understanding of childhood development. I have had success working with children who have behavioural difficulties relating to school work and have participated in a course by Evolve for "Understanding Children and Youth in Care". Childhood behaviour is a passion of mine, and I am continually refining my skills to approach childhood behaviour in an evidence based way to support development. I believe that my ability to develop rapport well with children is due to my enthusiasm, empathy and passion.
I apply the same strategies that were used to assist me through my learning disability to aid children with similar problems,

Guest Post: Reflections on the Virginia Massacre
Warning: This post was published more than 10 years ago.
I keep old posts on the site because sometimes it's interesting to read old content. Not everything that is old is bad. Also, I think people might be interested to track how my views have changed over time: for example, how my strident teenage views have mellowed and matured!
But given the age of this post, please bear in mind:
- My views might have changed in the 10 years since I wrote this post.
- This post might use language in ways which I would now consider inappropriate or offensive.
- Factual information might be outdated.
- Links might be broken; embedded material might not appear properly.
Many thanks for your understanding.
In sjhoward.co.uk's first ever Guest Post, regular commenter Mort Karman provides an American perspective on the shootings at the Virginia Tech campus.
At latest count 33 people, human beings, are dead, shot to death by some crazy gunman we have not been told anything about except that he also killed himself.
Virginia Tech is a fine engineering university located in a peaceful area of rolling hills in the Virginia countryside.
It is the kind of campus parents like to send their children to because it is supposed to be located in a safe place.
Today, that place was not safe.
In two individual, but apparently related incidents, what appears to be a lone gunman armed with two assault rifles entered the open campus of the school and proceeded to murder people.
At a press briefing police and university officials offered little real information about what happened.
They just gave the figures: 33 dead including the shooter, and about 17 wounded or otherwise injured.
The university president and the local police chief sounded like the Keystone cops when they tried to explain why it took two hours to warn the students and faculty and why they did not lock down the entire campus. Super Cop said they thought the shooter of the first two people had hightailed it out of Dodge, so why bother to do any more.
I am sure there will be investigations up the yazoo and perhaps the university president and the police chief will get new jobs working as animal control officers, but that doesn't bring back the dead people.
I don't have answers.
We can't turn our schools and universities into high security prisons with gates and a moat and machine gun toting guards. But we can't keep loosing our young people and the folks who teach them.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! This man help America progress in so many positive ways. He moved many mountains as the spokesman for NON violent activism.
There have been many house music remixes of his famous 'I Have A Dream' speech. Listening to these is very inspirational. You can get a history lesson, understand the meaning of his speech and maybe it will even inspire you to get off your butt and dance!

Girl (12) strangled to death, inquest told
A 12-year-old girl whose body was found near the Royal Canal in August died of asphyxia due to strangulation, an inquest heard yesterday.
The body of Michaela Davis of The Village, Porterstown, Clonsilla, Dublin 15, was found on the banks of the Royal Canal close to her home on August 28 last.
Her grieving father Brendan Davis attended the opening of an inquest into his daughter's death at Dublin County Coroner's Court, Tallaght.
Earlier this year, 18-year-old Jonathan Byrne, of Lohunda Downs in Clonsilla, was charged with the murder of the deceased.
Detective Inspector Colm Fox told coroner Dr Kieran Geraghty that the criminal investigation was before the courts and a Book of Evidence would be served on December 7. There would be a trial, he said.
Det Insp Fox, based at Blanchardstown garda station, applied for an adjournment of the inquest into her death.
Coroner Dr Kieran Geraghty granted the application until the completion of criminal proceedings.

I visited on a Monday evening and the restaurant was quiet and nearly empty. The ambiance was charming and the room well decorated, though the street is very near if you're at a table by the window.
When I asked about different vegetarian options, the server quickly differentiated between which of the vegetarian dishes were vegan and which had dairy or eggs. After talking over the different flavor combinations and options with her, I ordered the nazkhatun , lentil soup, and spinach and prune khoresh.
The nazkhatun was delicious, if heavier in oil than I might have preferred. I enjoyed the combination of eggplant and pomegranate. The lentil soup, billed as Portland's most authentic, was good but in the future I would get the Shirazy salad. I could easily make the soup on any given day at home and the salad, while also simple, is a Persian staple.
The khoresh was my favorite part of the meal. While the small side of steamed vegetables was nothing special, the tender prunes were wonderful. It was a cold night that I visited, and the food was hearty and comforting.
If you enjoy a flowery tea, order tea. What you get is a light black tea mixed with a bit of rosewater, more of a treat than I would have expected.
The Persian House had an excellent choice for Vegan, I think they have 10-11 different Entrees for dinner for Vegan and their soup is Vegan also. A really good place to try out with your girlfriend.
Ube Mango
This is a nice quiet and exotic location for having a meal. The flavors of everything I ate ranged from higly exotic to highly familiar. I ate the lunch buffet and everything except two meat dishes was vegan. Truly an adveture for your taste buds, though I though the food was a bit overcooked. Similar to what you see at some Indian restaurant buffets.

The balanced budget outlined by Republicans is focused on improving the lives of the American people. As Speaker John Boehner said this morning, "for American families, a balanced budget means more jobs, it means more opportunities, it means affordable energy, and it also means a more secure retirement."
And "for Americans trying to keep up with the cost of health care," said Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) in the Weekly Republican Address, "our plan repeals the president's health-care law and clears the way for patient-centered reforms."
Here are just a few reasons why Republicans' balanced budget repeals and defunds ObamaCare. The president's health care law is…
- …raising premiums on young Americans and middle class families: A study by the Energy & Commerce Committee found that "Americans across the country will still pay a higher premium in 2014 as a result of Obamacare." It notes that "Americans earning as little as $25,000 will still pay more," and, "In the case of young adults, the premium spike will be even more painful."
- …making it harder for small businesses and manufacturers to hire: A recent Federal Reserve report says the health care law slows hiring and increases costs. It notes that employers have cited it as a reason "for planned layoffs and reluctance to hire more staff." One medical device manufacturer in Michigan already announced it will need to lay off roughly 1,000 workers.
- …forcing seniors out of plans they have and like: Despite President Obama's promise that if you like your plan you can keep it, his law threatens to strip away the benefits (or the entire plans) used by millions of low-income and minority seniors enrolled in Medicare Advantage.
- …threatening mobile app developers and smartphone users: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is considering using ObamaCare to tax Americans' smartphones and tablets, and to regulate mobile medical device apps.
- …adding to our spending problem and increasing the burden on taxpayers: The latest Congressional Budget Office (CBO) figures show ObamaCare will increase spending by $1.88 trillion, double the estimate from 2010. And the Joint Committee on Taxation says taxpayers will be on the hook for another $1.1 trillion over the next decade, which is why our budget repeals all of the ObamaCare tax hikes.
Republicans' balanced budget will "help American families enjoy real prosperity and a much more secure retirement," says Speaker Boehner. One of the many ways it does so is by scrapping ObamaCare – a good move for young and old, families, workers, and the entrepreneurs we need to create new jobs and opportunities for all Americans.

Nuremberg, Germany (SPX) Mar 17, 2017
Chemists at Friedrich-Alexander Universitat Erlangen-Nurnberg (FAU) have developed a process in which nitrogen oxides generated during industrial processes can be used in the manufacture of colourants and medicines. Using the method, businesses will in future be able to combine the decontamination of exhaust fumes with the production of new substances.
Nitrogen oxides are a major environmental pollutant. Nitrogen and oxygen compounds are primarily formed during combustion, for example in automobile engines and coal and gas power plants, but also through other thermal and chemical techniques employed by industry.
In order to clean these waste gases, the methods of post-combustion capture or catalytic reduction are employed - both of which are relatively complex and are also associated with certain disadvantages. But nitrogen oxides are not just unwanted toxins. In fact, recent research has shown that they can be used in the chemical synthesis of high-value products.
Using environmental pollutants as resources
'Copper nitrate is used as a colourant, an anti-corrosive coating, a wood preserving agent and as an oxidising agent in chemical synthesis,' explains Heinrich. 'We have developed a way of directly using the nitrogen oxide created during the manufacturing process in the synthesis of balsalazide and sulfasalazine - two azo compound drugs used in the treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases.'
Nearly 100% exhaust gas purification
'However, we are working on the assumption that our technique will also lead to high efficiency levels in industrial applications.' Unlike earlier attempts undertaken in the laboratory by the pharmaceutical chemists, the new plant can also make use of low concentrations of nitrogen oxides and will function reliably even if there are fluctuations in the exhaust gas flow.
Azo compounds for a variety of applications
'Anywhere we have a manageable range of source materials, including for example the etching of printed circuit boards for electronic applications, we can use the by-product nitrogen oxide for the manufacture of medicinal products.
The situation is a bit different in the case of power plants or waste incineration plants - obviously it's best to avoid using such a cocktail of toxins and heavy metals to make medicines. But it is possible and it makes sense to use the nitrogen oxides present in exhaust fumes for the manufacture of certain colourants based on azo compounds.'
The results of the project, funded by the German Federal Environment Foundation (DBU), have been published in Chemistry - A European Journal in an article entitled "Sustainable synthesis of balsalazide and sulfasalazine based on diazotization with low concentrated nitrogen dioxide in air" (doi: dx.doi.org/10.1002/chem.201605359).
Ames IA (SPX) Mar 13, 2017
The U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory has successfully created the first pure, single-crystal sample of a new iron arsenide superconductor, CaKFe4As4, and studies of this material have called into question some long-standing theoretical models of superconductivity. The material is notable for having the high superconducting temperature of 35K without the need for small amounts of addit ... read more

Ryan Reynolds Voices a Speedy Snail in 'Turbo' Clips
Of all the animated adventures coming out this summer, only one film is about racecar snails (strange, we know!) – and that's Turbo. The title character is an ordinary snail who wants to live in the fast lane as a racecar driver. He watches the racers on TV, hoping to speed alongside them someday.
This may seem like a lofty goal for such a slow creature, but Turbo gets his chance when he meets a group of fellow racing snails. The members of the colorful crew all have need-for-speed names like Whiplash, Skidmark, Burn, Smooth Move, and White Shadow. They have some pretty pimped-out shells too!
Do some of those snail voices sound familiar to you? That's because the movie features the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Maya Rudolph, Ben Schwartz, Snoop Dogg, and Samuel L. Jackson. Turbo races into theaters on July 17.

Paul's letter addresses many aspects of the Christian life then and now: prayer and thanksgiving, legalism, reconciliation, service, behavior and attitudes, and relationships at home and at work. Scripture quotations are from the New King James Bible®.

WATCH Sen. Gordon to CHR: Why they are not noisy in the past 10 years
Sen. Gordon asked the Commission of Human Rights during the Senate Investigation about alleged Vigilante killings why the group is not noisy in the past 10 years when the riding-in-tandem cases are rampant.
The Senator is disappointed because the CHR is very silent in the times where the riding-in-tandem victimize people.
Riding in tandem victimised many innocent lives and some rumours that the people behind this kind of crime are the prisoners who were given a chance to go out in their cell temporarily to perform the crime.
The Senator also recommended that the government must inform China, Hong kong and Taiwan that most of the illegal drugs are came from their country, so the United Nations will stop criticising the Philippines.
PNP Chief Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa shows his frustrations and asked the Senator how they can imprison the drug lords if they are already inside the prison?
"Paano po namin mapapakulong ang nakakulong na?" frustrated Bato asked to the Senator.
The Senator said that the law must rule and the PNP must stop in eliminating the illegal drugs in the Philippines which believes by many as the source of all heinous crimes in the country.
The Netizens also lambasts the Commission of Human Rights and the other Senators for attacking the current administration and questioning the Oplan Tokhang that made a successful story in Davao City.

So while I was in Paradise, I read a book called Inside by Alix Ohlin.
Books are one of my favorite things... ever. I'll read almost anything, as long as it keeps my attention. I will put down a book in the middle of it if it has taken me a month to get there. If i really like a book.. you'll see me finish it in a couple of days.
I'd love to share with you when I finish a book I would definitely recommend. Like "Inside". It did not take me very long to get through this book. It definitely helped that i had a beautiful, quiet environment to read in.
"Inside" is about the lives of three very different people and how they become intertwined and ultimately how knowing each other has affected each life. If you like psychology and sociology, this book is for you. It is by no means a fast paced, keep you on the edge of your seat type book, but it really is interesting to listen to the inner workings of the minds of people, or at least I think it is!

Terrible Two Double Century ride report
I started the ride with some apprehension: the climbs are steep, the descents rough and tricky, and the heat can really take its toll. I was also a little tired from having done the Alta Alpina double the week before. So my goal was to complete the ride, not necessarily finish by 10pm to get the "I did it!" shirt.
The ride began with a large mass start following a pace car. I had been intending to ride with ahmose, but I quickly lost him in the large group. The climb of Trinity was uneventful, but the descent was twisty and the fog felt cold and limited the visibility. I came upon a cyclist who had crashed moments earlier, and some had stopped to help and slow the oncoming riders. Also saw a fire engine going up the hill. This definitely puts a damper on the rest of the ride, and makes you doubly careful for the rest of the descents. I later on heard the cyclist had a bad concussion, but nothing terribly wrong.
After the first two hills, it's a nice rolling road that goes by a lot of wineries. I missed out on joining a fast paceline, so rode mostly solo to the rest stop.
By now, both of computers had stopped working, so I had only heart rate and altitude data available. After more flattish roads, we hit the Geyser climb:
The climb goes on for a long time. When you think you are done, you look up and see the second summit, and descend again before climbing. Looking down to the valley at the first summit:
The descent is long and bumpy, with a lot gravel sections, so it's hard to get up to any real speed.
I was pleasantly surprised to find ahmose resting at the lunch stop. We rode the rest of the way together. Start of Skaggs climb:
After an endless number of intermediate descents and steep climbs, we finally reach the top and descend into the valley under tree cover. Then we reach the dreaded Rancheria wall.
The grade is really steep, so the 14% switchback sections feel nice for a breather. Many were walking this climb, some tacking side to side. I realized at this point that I was getting dehydrated, as it's hard to reach your bottle when trying to stay upright in a 15% grade.
After a well deserved rest, we descend to the coast and I tack behind ahmose as we ride the rolling Highway 1 to Fort Ross.
The next and final big climb is Fort Ross. It starts hard, maybe around 15%, eases up, then there are a couple short but very steep sections. When we see this at the top, we think we are done:
But every climb in this ride seems to be some cruel joke. We find out that we descend 500 ft, then climb back again, with some steep pitches to boot. Nevertheless, we ride the next 30 easy miles and get in around 9:30.

Nice report. I was there for the first time, the climbs long and steep. I saw the person that crashed and almost crashed myself on same spot. I didn't know how sharp the turn was and fish tailed when I brake but was able to recover. Got in around 9pm

First, let me apologize for the length of this report.
If you don't have time to read it, here's the super short summary:
Tough cutoffs. geourgous and breathtaking scenery. Mostly mild temperatures. Super steep climbs.
Great Santa Rosa Cycling Club support. Got the "i did it" t-shirt. After ride meal was
On to the detailed ride report:
This was my first time doing the TT. I've ridden Skaggs in the reverse direction before
(during the Bad little brother ride which was organized by SRCC a few weeks earlier), but every other section of this route was unfamiliar to me. This fact made the ride a lot more fun.
Doing the DMD earlier this year was great, but other than Palomares and Norris Canyon
i was familiar with all the climbs and i knew what to expect and how to pace for them.
I've tried to prepare for this ride by reading all the ride reports that i could find.
silentben's and djconnel's reports were quite useful as well as the Strava and Garmin connect sites.
But i digress, i planned to ride the Terrible Two with Ramon, Donald and Metin.
Ramon and myself booked a room at the luxurious Motel 6 in Santa Rosa (a few short miles from the school in Sebastapol), and Donald joined us later in the evening.
The three of us were planning to head to Starbucks in the morning for some breakfast and coffee at 4:30am, however it turns out that they changed their opening time to 5am. So we headed to the school and luckily were able to find some food.
At the school i found my number and pinned it to the jersey. Also i grabbed a couple of flasks of Hammer Gel. Since the first rest stop is at 55 miles, i wanted to make sure i have some sufficient calories on me.
The start behind the pace car was quite a unique experience for me.
We rode behind the car for about 13 miles. I tried to stay towards the front in order to
try to catch the green lights as the car trips the traffic signals.
At this point i lost track of Metin, but i did see Donald and Ramon a little ahead.
To be honest i was looking forward to the beginning climb, because even though riding with that huge group was fun for a bit, there were a few cyclists who were a little too unpredictable for my tastes.
I don't really remember the very first climb of Bennett valley but definetly the crowd started to thin quite a bit on this climb.
Finally we reached the Trinity grade climb, i thought it was a nice climb with some decent steep
pitches. The group started to thin out even more at this point.
I felt pretty good during this climb and was enjoying the beautiful views of Napa Valley with the sun
burning off the morning fog that was surrounding the valley.
Next came the descent, and i was glad that there was an SRCC volunteer in a skeleton custome
warning riders to be careful on this section of the road.
It was a very technical descent, road was a little wet and it visibility was hampered due to the fog.
The next section of the route was the Silverdo trail and Hwy 128 i was glad to find a paceline going at a decent pace.
We were going at a speed of 19-22 mph and we managed to pickup up many riders on the way.
By the time we reached the next major climb which was Geysers, we were 15+ riders in that paceline.
Geysers is a beautiful 9.1 mile multi-summit climb. The weather was starting to warm up a little,
that made me worry a little bit about how hot it will be on Skaggs which i've heard and
read horror stories about.
Back to the Geysers climb, the surrounding views were breathtaking with picturesque views of the many
vineyards and meadows of the Napa and Alexander Valleys. There were several residents who were
cheering us on. I recall this guy parked his car and was enjoying the views and also cheering the cyclists
as they inched slowly up the climb.
I felt real good on the climb and was looking forward to make it to lunch shortly after noon.
However, Geysers is where i started to have some bad luck. I dropped my chain twice.
Then i got a flat on my rear tire. There were many parts of the road which
were gravel and dirt in addition to the numerous potholes that perhaps contributed to the flat.
I was on my own after fixing the flat and proceeded to the Lunch stop (which i made a little after 12:30).
I found Donald there and he didn't look very happy.
He was feeling nausous and was suffering from stomach issues which prevented him from eating.
Shortly after arriving at the lunch stop, Metin showed up.
Initially, I was planning on having short lunch stop, but the prospect of riding the rest of the
ride with Metin and Donald sounded good. Plus more rest would do me good.
So all three of us left the lunch stop 10-15 minutes before it closed.
As we started the first part of the 7% grade up Skaggs, Donald decided to SAG it in.
No wonder Skaggs is known as the "killing fields", i experienced and witnessed so much suffering on this climb.
I recall riding past someone who was stopped and leaning on his handlebars and giving
motivational speeches to himself. Many riders were walking up the double digit steep pitches on Skaggs.
Not only is the climb steep, but all those false summits start taking a huge mental toll. The climb
just seemed to never end.
Skaggs was also where i noticed the thermometer above 100 degrees.
Finally, i reached a rest stop and I gladly accepted the offer to have ice cold water poured on
my back and helmet and it felt quite refreshing. Again, those are the great touches which SRCC are so well known
From the Skaggs rest stop, Metin and myself proceeded to the dreaded Rancheria Wall that
i've heard horror stories about. And i must say that this notorious reputation is well deserved.
Many riders were walking up the climb and resting under the shade.
It was the first climb of the day where i was forced to climb out of the saddle.
It could be best described as a series of ramps of anywhere from 15-20% grades interrupted by
very short 8-10% sections.
It climbs 900ft in 1.3 miles, so luckily it's short. The rest stop at the top could not have come any sooner.
As with most the Terrible Two climbs, there was another steep second climb right after the Rancheria wall.
Once we climbed that, it was time to turn left on Highway 1 at Stewart's point and head to the last major
climb of the day, the much feared Ft Ross Rd.
We were hoping for some tailwinds on Hwy 1, but we weren't very lucky in that regard.
The views of the Sonoma coast were magnificent, and the weather was perfect. Sometimes i wished
i could've stopped and taken a few pictures. But making that 10pm cutoff was the only thing on my mind at this point.
I tried to push pretty hard on this part of the course. This part of the course can be best described
as endless rollers. These were not trivial rollers by any stretch of the imagination, i've frequently
seen my Garmin indicating 6-10% grades on some of those rollers. According to one of the riders we met
at a rest stop, this section of highway 1 climbs 1000 ft.
We picked up a few riders on our way to Ft Ross Rd. But they must've been totally spent since
they refused to do any work in our mini-paceline.
We finally reached the Ft Ross rest stop. We made it a quick stop, grabbed some food, filled water bottles and
we took advantage of the extra salty chicken noodle soup. Which really felt good at this point of the ride.
The Fort Ross climb is a steep 2.4 miles climb which averages a little less than 12%.
I found it a little amusing that one of the workers was telling one of the riders than Ft Ross
averages 15% with steep pitches of 18%.
We both thought that Ft Ross wasn't too bad, this could be perhaps because of the realization
that it was the last major climb. Ofcourse, as with all the TT climbs we descended only to face another
difficult and steep second climb. The climb of Ft Ross was very scenic with the road surrounded
by majestic redwoods.
What followed next was typical of the TT descents (with the exception of parts of Skaggs were the road
is in great condition), a technical, twisty and pothole ridden descent.
We made short work of what came next, as we powered on to the next rest stop at Monte Rio.
The last rest stop of the ride was also a quick stop. Metin and Matt put on their knee warmers,
I grabbed a coke (and that really hit the spot). Then we moved quickly to the last part of the ride.
At this point i was getting worried about missing the 10pm cutoff point so i kept pushing hard.
Since i've been suffering from several chain drops during this ride, i didn't want to shift into the smaller
chainring for fear of dropping my chain again and wasting any time.
So i was stuck with the large chainring.
I lost track of our group and i proceeded by myself during the last few minutes of daylight. I was paranoid
from missing any of the TT marking on the road, but was comforted when i spotted a few blinking lights in the distance.
I caught up to that small group of riders. And we rode together through many turns back to the Analy school.
As we entered the school we were greeted by the workers, a very nice touch.
We made it with half an hour to spare. Metin came in a couple of minutes later.
We dropped the bikes at the car, Ramon was also waiting in his car having
finished the ride a couple of hours earlier.
I changed to some street clothes and we proceeded to get some of the delicious after ride meal
Which consisted of Poleneta, Lasanga, grilled chicken, garlic bread, salad.
I definently went for seconds for the grilled chicken.
Desert was carrot and vanilla cakes, icecream, fruit salad, M&Ms and the usual cookies that were stocked
in the rest stops.
They also had big coolers of chocolate and citrus Recoverite.
I then grabbed my "i did it" t-shirt which i've been coveting for months,
purchased the new and old Terrible Two jersies. Then we headed back to the Motel 6.
The Terrible Two was a very memorable ride for me, one that i will cherish for many years to come.
Finally, if i had to compare the DMD to the TT, i would have to say that the TT was
a lot more difficult. This very topic was discussed by several riders who finished both events,
during the after ride dinner. Everyone agreed that the TT was quite a bit more challenging.
While the DMD has more climbing (about 4000 feet more), the TT has much steeper
climbs (ofcourse Sierra Rd is the exception on the DMD). The TT also has more difficult cutoff times.
I also found that the descents on the TT were much more challenging both in terms of the twisty and technical nature
but also because the majority of them were pothole ridden in addition to
several gravel and dirt sections. This makes it difficult to try to take the optimal line since
you're constantly having to change your line on the fly.
The DMD on the other hand has some screaming descents like Diablo, parts of Mt Hamilton, the plunge etc..
The heat is also a factor and even though the temperature that day was relatively mild, the Skaggs climb was
quite hot with temperatures in the 100s on my Garmin.
Thanks for reading this insanely long ride report

2012 Ford Escape SUV - Consumer Review

Great SUV For The Price So Far
By bman27 on
Vehicle2012 Ford Escape XLT 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
ReviewI had a 05 escape so i am used to how the handle and drive.
I got the car for about 21,900 for the sxt with no other features like the sun package etc..
The 4 cyl accelerates well and the handling is nice.
I do agree that the brakes need to catch up with the times and go to all wheel disc brakes.
If you are looking for a american car without want to spend 30k this is a nice one to try.
I am tall and i fit well. The sticker did not say anything about wheel tilt but it is on all of them. No telescoping adjust but who uses that move your seat up then!
Best Featureshe new escape with the power steering wheel assist makes the steering wheel very light to turn. Does not feel like you are handling a big rig. I think the inside seats are much more comfortable than my old 05 escape. The dash layout is really nice and the steering controls are cool too. I do agree with one review that they put too much stuff on the turn signal control. It works the signals, the bright lites, the wipers front and back. It was much nicer on the old escapes when the had a control stick on the right of the wheel to off load some of the features so you arent wrestling with too many things when driving.
Worst FeaturesThe doors are very hard to close. Hopefully it goes away when it gets some use. I literally have to SLAM the trunk or else it says trunk ajar. I thought my wife was not closing it hard but i went out there to close it as normal and it did not shut all the way. Yes - the 4 corners of the trunk underneath when it is open are not painted. But all the dealer will do is touchup paint them. The car has front disc brakes and back drums which is ridiculous on a suv since it hampers the 0-60 braking time. If you had a old escape you will notice the spare tire is now under the car instead of a cubby hole where it used to be under the mat.

Tweens Are Flipping Over Triple Flip Fashion
Aug 12, 2015
My 12 year old could talk for hours about why she loves Triple Flip so much, but thankfully she wrote the reasons down for me. "Warm, comfy, cute, and in style are only some of the amazing (insert Tween drama here) things about Triple Flip! The Minky Bubble Hoodie is my fav because it warms you right up, and it's like you are wearing a teddy bear. It is so soft and cozy, but perfect to exercise, play, and hangout in... And, I LOVE the bright colours!"
As a mom, I love the quality of Triple Flip. These clothes are made to last, making them a great investment. I also like their program Designed to Grow, Designed to Last* that launches every year before Back-To-School, so girls can help other girls have that "First Day of School Outfit Feeling" by bringing in their well-loved, outgrown, clean flipwear into triple Flip stores across Canada during July and August. As a mom of a tween I also love that the store encourages girls to be active, to be strong, and to have fun. Our sporty girl can also shop at Triple Flip for "girly" soccer styles and accessories, since pink and glitter are usually hard to find in the sport sections at other stores. Started in Calgary in 2005, Triple Flip is a Canadian success story and we will continue to shop and support a local Alberta Company.
The Minky line is 100 percent polyester, making it easy to care for with a cool wash, and low dryer tumble. It's soft and cozy cush doesn't pill or lose it's luxurious feel from wash to wash. Thumbhole cuffs are a popular favourite with tweenage fashionistas, as well as the contrast zipper and binding. All in all, Minky's are the perfect staple for any wardrobe.
With the first day of school approaching fast, teens and tweens everywhere are paying close attention to what is in fashion, and planning their first day of school outfits. The Minky Chase Hoodie is a new style that Triple Flip shoppers are flipping for, combining the ever popular minky dimple fabric with its flat counterpart. Old favourites like the Minky Bubble Hoodie and a new and improved version of the Minky Luxe Jacket are also making a comeback. The softness that is so loved by tweens just like my own 12 year old is not sacrificed, but the style is being elevated. No need to worry about being "so last year".
By Tanya Kitchen Johnson
*(From the Triple Flip Website) "For the entire month of August, Triple Flip stores across Canada will accept much loved, outgrown, ready-to-wear Triple Flip clothing and put the donated items in the hands of women's shelters and select community charities so that they can reach girls age 6-12 years old in time for the first day of school. In return, donors will receive 10% off their Back to School purchase at Triple Flip, and the feeling that they have been responsible for putting a smile on a girl's face. And that's a win-win, in our books."

Schools Act to Short-Circuit Spread of 'Cyberbullying'
New Laws, Policies Attempt To Address Harassment That Originates Off Campus
Kylie Kenney heard a crescendo of whispers and jeers as she moved through an otherwise unremarkable eighth-grade school day. The reason: Word had spread of a Web site posted by some of her peers, titled "Kill Kylie Incorporated."
The site featured a list of crude insults, beneath the heading: "She's queer because... ." It seemed everyone in school had read it. Distressed, she reported the site to the school but...
