Ratmansky's Harlequinade reconstruction already showing its age
Harlequinade shows Ratmansky's usual scrupulous care when reconstructing Petipa's ballets. His attention to detail and obvious love for the art form are to be admired. But these ballets are also living, breathing works and they need strong performances to be viable in the repertory.
NYCB's eclectic program worth the three hours
The ending of Stars and Stripesis a sure-fire applause machine. The lowering of the flag while all the regiments march and salute onstage is so corny that only Balanchine could have choreographed it with a straight face. And yet it worked in 1958 and it works in 2019.

Despite a recent rise in oil prices, they are still quite low compared to last year's painful run-up. Our politicians, therefore, in their usual short-sighted wisdom, have decided that there is no urgency to pursue new oil. This will likely set us up for another price spike.
While low prices and excess capacity sound good, they could vanish like the morning dew. The long lead times, up to a decade for a new field, needed to expand capacity and replenish supplies should compel us to drill like there's no tomorrow — for there might not be.
Oil will continue to be a big player in our energy mix no matter how many windmills we tilt at or how many clown cars we place in front of 18-wheelers on our interstates.

As with every edition of this race, there are a number of storylines on hand for the 2015 Daytona 500 but when push comes to shove, who will win? Here is my prediction.
If there was one organization that has been the strongest all week long in Daytona, it has to be Hendrick Motorsports, without question. Their four drivers (Kasey Kahne, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr.) have shown a lot of speed in practice as Hendrick drivers swept today's practice seasons as Gordon won the first and Earnhardt won the second. The team also swept both Budweiser Duel races with Earnhardt winning the first and Johnson winning the second and all four drivers all have good track positioning for the green-flag with only Kahne, who will roll off 14th, starting outside of the top three.
What also does not hurt Hendrick chances is that, also save for Kahne, all of them have plenty of experience of winning this race as Gordon has won it three times (1997, 1999 and 2005), Johnson has won it twice (2006 and 2013) and Earnhardt has won it twice (2004 and last year). Only one organization has won the Daytona 500 more than Hendrick and they are looking like the team to beat.
Of course Hendrick is not the only organization looking sharp on the onset of the 500. The Gibbs Toyotas, now adding Carl Edwards as a fourth driver to the mix, have all looked strong and they were sharp in the Duels as Matt Kenseth looked like the driver to beat in the first race before getting passed late. Stewart-Haas Racing is certainly going through some adversity with Kurt Busch being suspended indefinitely today but Tony Stewart and defending champion Kevin Harvick both now have to get around Daytona and Danica Patrick, who came very close to not making the field, has shown some plate prowess. And as we have seen plenty of times before, there will always be some surprise drivers in the mix for the win late.
But I do think the 2015 Daytona 500 champion will be driving a Hendrick Chevrolet. The sentimental favorite is, without question, Jeff Gordon given that this will likely be his final Daytona 500 as he is retiring after the season. However, history is not on his side as there has not been a winner of this race from the pole since Dale Jarrett in 2000. History is not on the side of Dale Earnhardt Jr. either as it has been 20 years since the last repeat winner, Sterling Marlin in 1995. I do not know that Kasey Kahne has shown so much speed to consider him to be a favorite come Sunday.
That leaves Jimmie Johnson who is my pick to win his third Daytona 500 and his second in three years. Johnson really had a disappointing Chase last season as he failed to make it past the second elimination at Talladega but has he has shown in past years after a disappointing Chase finish (save for in 2012 when he wrecked on lap 2), he will have a strong 500 performance. He was in the championship hunt at Homestead in 2005 before blowing a tire late on a bad pit decision, then won his first 500. He got outdueled by Brad Keselowski in the 2012 Chase and then won his second 500. I think with the speed he showed in qualifying and then in the Duels makes him the prime contender to get the big win.

Extremal Quantile Regressions for Selection Model and the Black-White Wage Gap
We consider the estimation of a semiparametric sample selection model without instrument or large support regressor. Identification relies on the independence between the covariates and selection, for arbitrarily large values of the outcome. We propose a simple estimator based on extremal quantile regression and establish its asymptotic normality by extending previous results on extremal quantile regressions to allow for selection. Finally, we apply our method to estimate the black–white wage gap among males from the NLSY79 and NLSY97. We find that premarket factors such as AFQT and family background play a key role in explaining the black–white wage gap.Citation:

In November of 1993 an Executive Order (93-43) was signed that established The Family Investment Trust (FIT) to promote collaboration and innovation in service delivery for Missouri's children and families. It called for change in the way services were delivered, where services were delivered and mandated that local decision-making be utilized in the process.
These changes were to drive a new and different relationship between state government and communities. This model approach was then known as Caring Communities.
FIT was setup as a private/public board that included the leaders of state departments as well as community leaders from the corporate and civic arenas to guide the general direction and engage communities in the work of Caring Communities.
In 2001 this work was reaffirmed by Executive Order (01-07) but renamed the organization to The Family and Community Trust (FACT) to better emphasize the role of communities in the work.
Twenty-one Caring Community organizations were established around the state to implement this innovative approach with six core result areas as their focus. Those Core Results are Parents Working, Children Safe, Children Ready to Enter School, Children & Families Healthy, Children & Youth Succeeding in School and Youth Ready to Enter the Work Force.
FACT is now a non-profit corporation with nineteen members drawn from the top leadership in state government and the private sector. It governs the work of the twenty community partnerships across the state. The board's mission is to promote and support effective public/private partnerships and community involvement to develop innovative solutions for improving the lives of Missouri's children and families. Funding to support this work comes from the state legislature through the Department of Social Services and is a combination of general revenue and matching federal dollars.
There are currently twenty Community Partnerships across Missouri. These non-profit organizations work in concert with local, state and federal partners to implement effective community strategies to meet local needs.

Fenwick & West LLP, one of the nation's premier law firms providing comprehensive legal services to high technology and life science clients, today announced the results of its First Quarter 2011 Silicon Valley Venture Capital Survey.
The First Quarter 2011 survey analyzed the valuations and terms of venture financings for 122 technology and life science companies headquartered in the Silicon Valley that reported raising capital in the first quarter of 2011.
"During the first quarter of 2011, up rounds exceeded down rounds 67% to 16% with 17% flat. This was similar to the fourth quarter of 2010, when up rounds exceeded down rounds 67% to 21%, with 17% flat, and the seventh consecutive quarter in which up rounds exceeded down rounds," said Barry Kramer, partner in the Corporate Group of Fenwick & West and co-author of the survey.
An up round is one in which the price per share at which a company sells its stock has increased since its prior financing round. Conversely, a down round is one in which the price per share has declined since a company's prior financing round.
The Fenwick & West Venture Capital Barometer™ – which measures the change in share price of Silicon Valley companies funded during the quarter compared with the share price of their previous financing round – showed a 52% average price increase for the quarter, less than the 61% reported in the fourth quarter of 2010, but still very healthy.
"This was also the seventh consecutive quarter in which the Venture Capital Barometer was positive," said Kramer.
"The best performing industries in the quarter from a valuation perspective were software (including a significant number of 'software as a service' companies and companies building applications for mobile devices) and Internet/Digital Media, followed by hardware and cleantech, while the life science industry continued to lag," added Michael Patrick, partner in the Corporate Group of Fenwick & West and co-author of the survey.
"As reported by third party sources, the first quarter saw a significant increase in commitments to venture capital funds, reversing the trend that began in early 2009 of venture capitalists investing significantly more in companies than the amount of new funds committed to such venture funds. With an improving venture environment there are reasons to believe this trend will continue," added Patrick.

Doing Whatever It Takes to Reach One More!
From the DOM
As I visit in the churches each week, a common question arises, "When are we going to begin construction on the Association office?"
The simple answer is… "soon." We are moving forward at the speed of a herd of turtles. The blueprints are now complete. A storage container has been purchased to store material until the new building is completed. The old building is scheduled to be demolished in March. After the site is cleaned up, a geological survey will be conducted to confirm if it is safe to build the new structure on the ground in front of the old building site. If the survey is positive, we will move forward with pouring concrete slab and foundations. Hopefully we can begin framing the new building in May. It is my goal to have the structure in the dry by the end of May.
Please pray that God's favor will continue to be poured out upon the entire process. Pray for the raising of needed money to complete the Ministry Center. I believe it is possible to build debt free. Pray that God will send the workers needed for the various phases of construction.
I will gladly come to your church and share how everyone can get involved in building the new WBA Ministry Center. If you have questions about getting involved, please call the office or my cell phone.
In His service,
Don Smith
WBA Director of Missions

A great advantage of dual momentum is the low number of parameters (typically only a lookback length of 12 months is used). This reduces the likelihood that results are curve-fitted or uncovered by data-mining and subsequently useless in real-time trading.
The plot below compares a 12 month lookback against 1 month and a 50:50 combination of both lookbacks:
Annual returns and sharpe ratios are listed in the chart legend and are very similar.
Of major interest though, the correlation between '12' and '1' monthly returns is only 0.62. Finding consistently uncorrelated strategies is difficult but rewarding. When the two strategies are combined, standard deviation is reduced and sharpe ratio is increased to 1.3.
A zoomed plot from 2000 to present is shown below:
The larger drawdowns experienced by the individual strategies (2002, 2009 and 2011) have been reduced by combining the two relatively uncorrelated curves, without sacrificing returns.

GRAPHIC NOVELS: Stories To Change Your Life
A Review By: Strip Vesti
Strip Vesti is the Serbian electronic comics magazine, which has been distributed to almost 1,000 email address every week for more than 6 years.
When I think about some of my experiences from the last 40 years of collecting, following and delightfulness with comics and pleasure which I had reading them (Pegasus from Zika Bogdanovic, Have You Seen the Girls by Igor Kordey, big and small format of Strip Art magazines from Ervin Rustemagic, articles from Zoran Djukanovic, Jimmy Corrigan by Chris Ware) I can only regret that I did not write enough about them and at least express my gratitude to the authors for the spiritual pleasure that they have provided for me.
This time I am not going to be lazy and I believe that the wider circle of comic enthusiasts might be interested to hear about one new book, which I bought, read and enjoyed.
That book is by Paul Gravett, an eloquent and active English writer. Paul had published a book about Manga comics and for more than 20 years he has been regularly writing, preparing exhibitions, teaching and promoting comics. His book Graphics Novels, Stories to Change Your Life (Aurum Press Ltd, 2005) provides information about 30 graphics novels which are so strong that they changed his life and views, and which will probably have the same effect on the readers of Paul's book. I would not like now to become involved in defining the term 'graphic novels' and rather say simply that we have here 30 books with comics, from 44 do 700 pages, published in the period from 1976 to 2005.
Paul's book has a very modern text arrangement. It consists of 10 headings or topics and within each heading there are 2-4 graphics novels. The headings and the novels are:
The Undiscovered Country:
Jimmy Corrigan by Chris Ware
Epileptic by David B.
Ghost World by Daniel Clowes
The Other Side Of The Tracks:
A Contract With God by Will Eisner
Locas by Jaime Hernandez
Palomar by Gilbert Hernandez
It's a Good Life if You Don't Weaken by Seth
The Long Shadow:
Maus by Art Spiegelman
Barefoot Gen by Keiji Nakazawa
Palestine by Joe Sacco
The Superhuman Condition:
The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller
Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons
Of Futures And Fables:
The Airtight Garage by Moebius
The Nikopol Trilogy by Enki Bilal
The Sandman by Neil Gaiman
In The Mind's Eye:
Strange Embrace by David Hine
Black Hole by Charles Burns
Murder, Smoke And Shadows:
Scene of the Crime by Ed Brubaker
Sin City by Frank Miller
V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and David Lloyd
Behind The Smile:
The Frank Book by Jim Woodring
Cerebus by Dave Sim
American Splendor by Harvey Pekar
When The Winds Blows by Raymond Briggs
Travels In Time:
Corto Maltese by Hugo Pratt
Buddha by Osamu Tezuka
From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell
Passion Beyond Reason:
My Troubles with Women by Robert Crumb
Gemma Bovery by Posy Simmonds
Lost Girls by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie
Each novel is presented on two pages, richly illustrated, and then, on the next two pages, another 4 novels are presented, which arrived in the world of comics before or after the main novel. The additional novels have a similar graphic style or topic to the main novel, but they are themselves very valuable and independent works. Hence, the total of 150 graphics novels is presented in the book.
The main technical flaws of the book are (a) within additional novels, the authors and titles are not emphasised (you have to read the whole text to identify the author and the title) and (b) in an introductory text of each heading there are some pictures of books, but without any explanations.
Thanks to the author of this book, the selected graphic novels represent different interests and authors in the world of modern comics and they cover a wide range of artistic individuality. My modest theoretical understanding of comics, but long term reading experience and the fact that I have read most of these novels, leads me to the conclusion that we have in front of us masterpieces of modern comics. Unfortunately, many of these titles are unknown in Serbia , thanks to our many years of isolation, but this book could be an excellent guide for our publishers as well for our individual readers. Especially for the readers who are a bit older and experienced and who are trying not to miss the works of a historical importance for the comic art.
Looking into Paul's selection of graphic novels, I can only say (the opposite to Mirko Ilic's opinion that the comics medium is going to die) that as books or radio did not die after the appearance of television, similarly the comics are not going to disappear with the arrival of illustrations and/or computer animations. On the contrary, I believe that the comics are more vital than ever - new authors choose to investigate life and reveal their findings through comics disregarding the necessary hard work and modest financial reward. The comic art lays on enthusiasm of the public and authors. It is not destroyed with the simple attempt to entertain and earn quick money (which is the case largely in music, movies and television), and the spectrum of topics and engagements is endless. This book confirms all of these statements. We can only be grateful to Paul Gravett for keeping us informed about some of the greatest modern comics works.
The book is in a big format (slightly wider than A4 format) and can be bought in comics' shops for about £19 (plus £5-6 for postage to Serbia).

Residents Packing Up, Moving Out Of Nelton Court Complex
November 12, 2009
Juan Padilla stands in front of his Nelton Court apartment, holding a Double Diamond grape-flavored cigar in one hand and using the other hand to point.
"Friends right there. Friends right there. Friend over here. Friend in that building. Friend on the other side," Padilla said, stopping to take a breath. "Friend right there. Over here." He points toward Main Street. "My mother-in-law's right here in that building over there."
Padilla has lived at Nelton Court for nine years, and he, his wife and his 11-year-old son wouldn't leave their $50-a-month, three-bedroom apartment if they didn't have to.
But they have to."Everybody's got to go," Padilla said. "So I got to go."
Nelton Court is the last federally subsidized public housing still standing in the city. Its siblings Dutch Point, Stowe Village, Charter Oak Terrace have all been knocked down and rebuilt.
Padilla lives in Building 13, one of 14 at Nelton Court, where the grass is cut but weeds grow from gutters overhead.
Of the 157 units, 86 are occupied. Demolition, the Hartford Housing Authority says, should start as soon as the last person is out sometime after the new year. The authority will then build new, low-income rental housing.
The apartment next to Padilla's is empty, with boarded-up windows. Jagged glass lines a broken window pane in the unit's outer door. Padilla knows Nelton Court has a reputation for violence, but he said he doesn't have problems with anybody, and nobody has a problem with him.
"They say you make the place, wherever you go," Padilla said.
Inside his apartment, Padilla and his wife apologize for the state of things. Packing boxes and baby toys line the upstairs hall. His son's bedroom is padlocked shut, but Padilla smiling opens it with a key. When he does, there's a bed. And boxes.
"He's packing his things, too," Padilla, 52, said. "We are packing up. That's why it's a mess."
Padilla expects to move later this year. He already has gotten his Section 8 approval from the authority, which will pay much of the rent he'll owe for his next apartment. But wherever he and his family land, they're not looking to stay there long.
"I want to return to Nelton Court, you know what I'm saying?" Padilla said. "I will return here. 'Cause I've been here and I like it here. Part of my life is here. ... My ex-wife died right here, you know? She died right in my bedroom, right here.
"That's why if they ask me to come back," he said, "I will come back."

I have two huge matrices $A$ and $B$. I am trying to find some iterative solvers like
bcg or
lsqr in Matlab.
I mean if my matrix $A$ is sparse and $n\times n$ and $B$ is a column vector of size $n\times 1$, I can use
lsqr and
bcg to solve the equation $Ax=B$.
Now suppose I need to solve $XD=C$, so I need to calculate $CD^{-1}$ where both $C$ and $D$ are huge matrices. If I use matlab's
C/D operation directly, it consumes lots of memory and crashes. Are there any iterative solvers for this operation instead of using the forward slash operator directly?

Qian Xuesen, who died Oct. 31 at 98, didn't like being called the father of China's guided-missile program: he felt that the title didn't give credit to his fellow researchers. Indeed, while the Chinese-born, U.S.-educated rocket scientist was technically brilliant, he also realized that legions of bright thinkers can do far more than one genius ever could. A co-founder of what became Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Qian helped debrief German rocket scientists following World War II, but he was accused of being a Communist spy at the height of the McCarthy era and put under house arrest. He and his family...

I can't rave enough about the new LORAC Unzipped Pallet, exclusive to Sephora. If you like nude and neutral shades, forget Urban Decay Naked 2, and look to this instead! Unlike the Naked 2 Palette, which was a bit too shimmery for my tastes and for most daily makeup looks for anyone over 25-30 or so, LORAC Unzipped, has a nice mix of shimmer and matte shades that I find also apply and blend better than the Urban Decay shades. Now don't take that as a dig at Urban Decay, it isn't, I really love their products, but I think LORAC has really outdone them here. Below are photos and swatches of the LORAC Unzipped Palette.
The Unzipped Palette contains ten neutral/nude shades that tend to not be overly warm or cool, making the palette pretty universal for most skin tones. Also included is a sample size of Behind the Scenes Eye Primer, which is a quality eye shadow primer.
Packaging is a sturdy magnetic enclosure case.
Here are LORAC Unzipped swatches. From the top row of the palette are the shades Undercover (matte nude), Unbelievable (copper shimmer), Unattainable (bronze shimmer), Unconditional (matte fawn), Unbridled (matte merlot).
And here are swatches of the bottom row of the Unzipped Palette with the shades Undiscovered (gold shimmer), Unreal (champagne shimmer), Uncensored (chocolate shimmer), Unspoken (matte sable), and Untamed (bordeaux shimmer).
The shadows in the LORAC Unzipped Palette have wonderful pigment density and are just the perfect texture to blend well without being so soft and messy that the shades get muddy. I already know that I will be wearing this palette out!
LORAC Unzipped is limited edition, so get it while you can!

The rate of health care coverage is falling, even among workers eligible for employer-sponsored health plans, according to a recent survey by the Urban Institute. The survey showed a 2 percent decline in health care coverage among this group during the three-year period 1999 through 2001. In 2002, 88 percent of workers and their families eligible for employer coverage purchased it; 90 percent had done so in 1999.
The cost of health care premiums rose 14 percent for all employers in 2003 alone and even more for small employers. Many small businesses are dropping employee coverage altogether or requiring workers to carry more of the cost. Many workers cannot afford the increased premium and withdraw from company plans leaving them and their families exposed to the full brunt of medical costs.
Other workers, though able to pay the premium for themselves, are unable to pay the amount required to include their families, according to the Urban Institute's data. In 2002 only 83 percent of working family children were covered, a decline of 3.5 percent during the period studied.
Given present national priorities, one need not be a rocket scientist to understand that those suffering most because of these cutbacks are low-income workers and their families. For the purposed of its study, the Urban Institute, a Washington-based nonpartisan policy research and educational organization, classified as low-income an individual earning less than $17,700 annually or a family of four with an income of $36,000 or less. Only 66.8 percent of workers earning such low wages and eligible for coverage purchased it in 2001, down 5 percent from 1999, and only 58.6 of their children were covered.
A brief issued in April of this year by the Commonwealth Fund which analyzed health care coverage during the four years 1996 through 1999 revealed the same trends. According to this report, coverage is even lower among low-income minority workers. Low-income Latinos were particularly hard-hit. Fully 37 percent of Latinos who worked during the entire period were without private coverage. Nearly 80 percent of all low-income Latinos were without coverage at some time during the four years studied. Nearly two-thirds of Latino workers and their families were without insurance for 13 consecutive months.
Racial and ethnic disparity in coverage persists beyond low-income levels: Of Latino workers earning incomes greater than 200 percent of the poverty level, 40 percent were without health coverage at some point during the four years studied. The comparable figures for African American and white workers considered separately were 31 and 25 percent.
We know what happens to those without the means to pay for medical care: they wait until illness or accident is so serious as to drive them to the emergency room. There they receive the care they need, if it is not too late, that is, for the injury or illness may no longer be amenable to treatment.
Early treatment/preventive maintenance checkups save lives and cost far less. More money available for health care means more people successfully treated. Wouldn't the logical way to handle the cost and availability of health care, therefore, be a national single payer plan? We would all be able to receive the health care we need. Health care is not a privilege; it is a basic human right.

This means, you can very simply change the feel of a room by just changing them. This is often done by changing out your cabinets to a whole different approach.

Additionally, in their Today's games section you can verify various sports like Baseball, Soccer, Tennis, BasketBall, Ice Hockey, Boxing etc. You can watch several well-known sports like Baseball, Soccer, Tennis, Basketball, Racing, Boxing, Cricket, Golf and so on. Regrettably, online gaming and fantasy sports websites in India are not complying with these techno legal specifications and they are on the incorrect side of Indian laws. The UIGEA was enacted in 2006 to regulate world wide web gambling and specifically bans internet sports gambling.
In contrast to medical doctors or lawyers, who get an undergraduate degree, place in a handful of a lot more years of post-graduate education, then take tests to turn out to be certified in their field, sports broadcasters come from all walks of life. Oops,it appears i can't be a excellent Sports Broadcaster,simply because i usually shed my way,:),but also thanks for your 's quite beneficial ,maybe my friends will interested in this,he like sport quite considerably.

|A manual or automatic antenna tuner is required for all CAROLINA WINDOM® Antennas. Most of the current transceivers with a built-in automatic tuner will tune a CAROLINA WINDOM® on all bands. Linear amplifiers will need a high power, wide range antenna tuner. I personally use the MFJ-998 1.5 kW automatic tuner. The MFJ-993 is a good choice for low power.
|Now covers 6 m at no extra cost. The maximum power rating on 6 meters is 200 watts CW/SSB.
Available at the RADIO WORKS' Web Store
|It isn't easy to put out a respectable signal on 160 meters. It may be even harder on 80 meters because everyone has a strong signal. The CAROLINA WINDOM® 160 comes to the rescue. The CAROLINA WINDOM is the antenna that has helped put many 160 and 80 meter stations on the map.
Go with a winner and break away from the pack. Put up your own CAROLINA 160. Then send out for a new supply of QSL cards.
|Frequency Coverage
|160 - 6 meters + 30, 17, 12 WARC
|As much as 10 dBd* reported at most installations
|Radiator Length
|Horizontal 265' and the Vertical Radiator is 22'
|Feed line
|50 ohm coaxial cable, RG-8X recommended
|Matching method
|Dedicated matching transformer + user's tuner
|Tuner needed
|Low, adjust with tuner
|Power Rating
|1500 watts CW/SSB *
|Recommended feed point height
|40' usable at 35'
|Not required
|* Important: Not rated for AM, RTTY or
other high duty-cycle modes. Power rating is for normal SSB and CW duty-cycles
Exception: At transceiver output levels, this device may be used on PSK-31 and similar modes without increasing the normally low IMD performance.
* Based on user reports and field evaluations and is due primarily to the Vertical Radiator system and size (in wavelengths) of the antenna.
Support Configurations
With 256 feet of wire, a Flat-top or Inverted-V are about the only support options available. On the low bands, the CAROLINA WINDOM 160's rivals are few, if there are any at all, but you need a lot of room to put one up.
It will not hurt the antenna's efficiency if you bend the ends of the antenna slightly to make it fit into the space you have. Just keep the vertical radiator in the clear and the wire as high as possible.
This antenna is optimized for the lower bands. For even better performance on the bottom bands only, special VERTICAL RADIATORS , optimized for 80 or 40 meters, are available.
Ground Space Needed
Configuration vs. Length Required
Flat Top: 265'
Inverted-V @ 50' Length = 240'
Inverted-U @ > 50' Length = 256 - { 2 (height - 8') }

Summer has just begun, and unfortunately, so has the sweltering Georgia heat. Despite the feeling of our faces melting off, Ryan and I have been pushing forward in the garden. The goal is to stock up on as much garden goodness as we can before our bean arrives. Much of it is in preparation for making our own baby food after the major growing season. I sure hope the girl likes pumpkin…
This volunteer crop had me fooled at first. I was convinced it was yellow squash, but before long it came to light that Ryan had been right all along, it was in fact a nice little pumpkin patch going. They started strong before falling to the demise of Mexican bean beetles.
I had gone through and removed damaged leaves and killed all the beetles and eggs I could find. It wasn't enough. Some plants are still growing and producing while the others seem to have called it quits. Our next step is to harvest and plant this area with a late round of okra and sweet potato slips.
Beside the pumpkins we had planted a mixture of cauliflower, red okra, sweet potatoes, and malabar spinach . Sadly a rabbit paid us a visit and mowed down a good portion of our okra. Our backyard garden bed has been anticlimactic to say the least.
On the other hand, potted figs and berries Ryan started earlier in the year have been producing fruit! It is completely exclamation worthy. We turn into a couple of squealing, giddy gardeners at the sight of these budding beauties. You should have seen Ryan run in to tell me our southern highbush blueberry produced its first berry. Who could blame him? It's like watching your baby take their first steps. We split the blueberry in half and had a total proud
parent gardener moment.
Thankfully our front yard garden beds have been making the time under the hot sun worthwhile. The tomatillos are on fire. I'm seeing countless jars of salsa verde in our future. With the use of neem oil and a couple applications of beneficial nematodes, the tomatillos have been free of flea beetles this summer. Knock on wood we will continue to remain so lucky.
Kale, tomatoes, and cucumbers have all been making us proud (and hungry for their arrival). It won't be long before we are in the kitchen canning tomato sauce and pickling cucumbers, but as of now, I'm just trying to stay ahead of the 20 plus kale plants. You can learn how we freeze and store kale here.
Though we are still another year away from our fist harvest, the asparagus is going strong. It's pretty awesome to see it sprouting thicker and stronger as time passes.
Making things even more exciting, our raspberries are finally fruiting. Now that our blackberries have stopped producing, we are more than ready to welcome these red treats back in the garden.
As summer goes on and temperatures inevitably rise, we will continue to get the most we can from our little urban homestead in Atlanta. I hope that we not only welcome the fall season with a new family member, but also with a replenished stock of preserved garden goods. May our July Instagram feed be filled with images of happily producing plants and the blog full of our harvest stories and recipes.

Beyoncé was in the middle of belting out "Irreplaceable" during a concert stop in Copenhagen Monday night when one overzealous fan almost ruined it for everyone.
As the singer walked down the stage to interact with the audience, one male concert-goer had the guts to slap Mrs. Jay-Z's butt.
B immediately turned around and sternly said into the mic, "I will have you escorted out right now, alright?"
She then quickly picked up the song right where she left off, like a pro. Watch it all go down below:

Methods of reducing vascular permeability in tissue by inhibition of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)
Cerebral edema, excess accumulation of fluid in spaces of the brain, is one of the most common pathophysiological conditions and is associated with other serious disorders and conditions such as ischemic stroke, brain tumor, and diabetes. Considering approximately 1 out of every 19 deaths in the US is due to stroke and brain tumors and 9.3% of the US population lives with diabetes, there is a large proportion of patients regularly suffering from pathological cerebral edema. One of the mechanisms leading to cerebral edema is the increase of tPA, which increase leakiness of blood-brain-barrier. A patented technology inhibits tPA activity to effectively control permeability of blood vessels providing attractive therapeutic options for many patients who are dealing with complications from stroke, cancer, and diabetes.
tPA inhibition without disrupting tPA's role as an anti-blood clot
The invention indirectly reduces vascular permeability by interfering with tPA's interaction with low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein which is required for tPA's role in modulating permeability of blood-brain-barrier. This allows tPA to function normally as a anti-blood clot agent, yet preventing tPA to cause cerebra edema. The effectiveness of this novel tPA inhibitor has been tested in a mouse model in vivo.
- The activity of tPA inhibited by the invention is independent of tPA's native activity as a anti-blood clotting agent.
- The novel tPA inhibitors can be administered in many ways such as intravenously, intrathecally, or via nasal spray
- Reduction of blood-brain-barrier permeability
- A companion treatment of tPA administration to prevent side-effects that are related to excessive permeabilization of blood vessels.

- Fipronil is more toxic to insects than to people and pets making it the ideal choice for ant control around the home.
- Evenly graded and can be applied to areas of high ant traffic.
- Kills by contact and ingestion resulting in the eradication via social interactions between ants.
- Cascading effect can cause a projected 95% kill rate of the colony over a 3 day period, as ants return it back to the rest of the nest with the ant sand.
- Weight: 750g.

Following my recent trip to New York I wanted to write about too many art-works to fit in just one post. A few days ago I wrote about installations. Today it is sculptures. West 22 Street seems a good place to start. If you walk down the street between 10th and 11th Avenues you might notice a young tree and beside it, about four feet away, a lump of basalt. At first you might not think it anything special until you spot another one, and then another. New Yorkers would argue that you have just come across part of the famous multi-located artwork by Joseph Beuys, 7000 Oaks.
It started back in 1982 when Beuys decided to start his own personal reforestation programme, aiming to plant 7000 trees. Over the next four years he organised plantings mainly in Kassel in Germany. Each tree had an accompanying basalt stele While the trees grew, the basalt would remain the same but the relationship between the two would change. Kassel was not the only town to benefit, Beuys celebrated his sixty-third birthday in May 1984 by helping to plant 400 native tree and bush species around the Italian town of Bolognano. His son Wenzel completed the project in 1987 by planting the final trees on the first anniversary of his father's death.
In truth, Beuys did not single out West 22nd street. After his death, the Dia Art Foundation, which had help fund 7,000 Oaks decided to plant some trees in his name; five trees with steles were planted in 1988 and a second row of eighteen in 1995. They are not all oaks, but then neither were the Kassel trees: 7,000 Oaks sounds a lot better as a title, than 7,000 Assorted trees and Bushes.
Are the New York trees a genuine Beuys work or an imitation? If I plant a tree in my garden with a basalt stele, could I too be host to part of 7,000 Oaks? Tempting though it is, I think I will give it a miss. My garden does not have room for another tree and I don't know where I could lay my hands on suitable basalt. Anyway, I am sure Beuys would have been very happy to have the West 22nd Street trees attributed to him. Last week both the trees and their guardian steles looked great in the autumn sunshine and were an excellent introduction to the surrounding galleries.
One of these was the Matthew Marks Gallery. It has a tree and stele just by its front entrance and was showing a most striking work that looked like a huge question mark, or possibly a sperm. It turned out to be by Martin Puryear, and the first thing that I noticed was how beautifully made it was.
In the detail of the different woods, you can see the skill with which it has been put together. I had not seen Puryear's works before but they reminded me somewhat of those of the British artist Richard Deacon; they have the same fluidity and the same love of materials. Both were born in the 1940s, Puryear in 1941, Deacon in 1949. I am not the only one who has noticed the similarities. They have exhibited together at least once and both appeared in the 1989 book New Sculptures: Six Artists.
Over in West 24 Street there were more of Puryear's sculptures. I particularly liked this one of bent wood and string. It is not a piece that would fit easily in the elevator, unless it were all untied, but there was something immensely satisfying about its hand-made appearance – all those knots, all so perfect; It comes as no surprise that his past experience includes knowledge of boat building and I imagine sailing.
Though a lot of Puryear's work is in wood; he also uses metal as in this deceptively simple piece; there is the same kind of fold to it as in the bent wood piece above, but this one looks more human, or perhaps more animal.
It was also exciting to see works that were made of less traditional materials. The Hoerle Guggenheim Gallery was showing the most remarkable head. Made out of silicone and human hair it was a self-portrait of Evan Penny. It managed to be both incredibly realistic – it even has eyelashes, eyebrows and a fuzz of hair on the chest, and, at the same time, completely weird because of the size – it is over a meter high – and because of the distortion. It might be rather hard to live with: I would prefer some pleasing bent wood but it certainly caught one's attention.
More male flesh but of a very different kind was provided by the Mark Miller Gallery. The curators there had the interesting idea of showing works by the assistants of well-known artists. This work by Chie Shimizu assistant to Sol Le Witt, was perhaps the most intriguing. The three figures are apparently carrying their life experiences on their heads. I like the similarity of the figures, their acceptance of their burdens and the fact that they are as interesting from the back as from the front.
I am always interested in works which are somewhere between sculptures and paintings and while many of the works by R H Quaytman are definitely two-dimensional silk screens and paintings, the third dimension made an appearance in the exhibition at the Gladstone Gallery whilst retaining a painterly feel to the works. What they are about is somewhat unclear,and of all the works I saw, they were perhaps the most difficult works to understand; the accompanying statements did not particularly help, though it seemed she drew inspiration from a botanical garden in Minas Gerais in Brazil. Commenting on the work, she wrote of the intention to develop a painting model that corresponds with how – not only – what we see. The piece below though apparently mounted on board or canvas is a gigantic presence which stands out from the wall.
In others the mass is far more connected to the underlying painting. In the one shown below the pattern of the background is causing interference in the photograph,but is highly intricate forming a disturbing contrast with the central form. I was interested in the results she had achieved with her sculptural materials: encaustic, acrylic and polyurethane foam, so much so that I have bought myself a can of foam with which to experiment. But I would have greatly liked a bit more information about the thought processes behind the works.
Far more accessible were the works by Brenda Garand in the Lesley Heller Workspace, entitled Northern Passage. Made out of materials such as steel wire, roofing paper, fabric, wool, silk and rope, they conveyed both strength and fragility. Complex in themselves, their complexity was further enhanced by the lighting which caused them to create fantastic shadows.
The works remind the viewer of water, leaves and the natural world and reflect her interest in the Northern rivers and the religious concepts of the Algonquin peoples. They are accompanied by her drawings made with clay, and inks. What was interesting here was that you could see at a glance that the sculptures and drawing were done by the same person. The drawings seem complete in themselves not just studies for the 3 dimensional works.
Shadows also played a part in a very different sculptural work by Alberto Borea at the Y Gallery in Orchard Street. Called We are Gone: Intervention on a Metal Cage this was so very simple and so effective; I liked it enormously and wish I had thought of it.

LeBron James? He whistled, as in "wooooo," as in "that's a tough one."
While three of the league's most coveted free agents tucked securely and comfortably in Miami, their former Olympic teammate, who followed a different contractual path, remains in limbo in Denver. And just think, had Carmelo Anthony only listened to Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron back when …
Well, he didn't. For reasons that he can't even sufficiently explain, 'Melo signed a 4-year deal while the others went for three. They had talked about going short-term on their next contract, and riding out free agency, and making their teams squirm, and shaking the foundation of the NBA at its core, and possibly even — get this — hooking up on the same team and collecting more rings combined than their idols. Three of them went one way, 'Melo another.
They're whooping it up right now, squealing like kids at summer camp. He's grinning and bearing it in a Nuggets uniform, not quite sure where he's headed.
So, the question is, will 'Melo ever get his own Miami Heat situation?
An NBA general manager told me that 'Melo will not agree to a contract extension with the Nuggets or any team, which essentially kills most if not all chances of Melo being traded. No GM in his right mind would trade for 'Melo, give up assets, and then possibly lose him next summer to free agency. It's not about money, since Melo will get the max from whatever team wants him. It's about bringing 'Melo to a potential championship team to make it all worthwhile. And Melo understands any team that trades for him will be weakened, perhaps considerably, by giving up assets in a trade. He might not like what that team looks like by next July.
So apparently, he'll wait. Why sign up for four years with a team that'll lose assets in any trade, and spend most of those four years in a rebuilding process? Instead, he can join the Nets next summer and have Derrick Favors as a teammate, rather than play with Brook Lopez and a roster of filler material.
But what about the labor agreement? Wouldn't 'Melo lose millions? Well, what's a million or two to a player who has already made millions, and his next contract (and the one after that) will be worth millions more? No matter what the labor landscape will look like in the next labor deal, superstars will get paid. Superstars are exempt from any strife, when it comes to labor contracts.
You get the feeling 'Melo wants a LeBron-Bosh-Wade situation for himself, or close enough, and he's willing to be patient and allow it to happen. He had the chance to do that this past summer, had he followed the original plan, and he blew it. He doesn't want to blow it again.

I admire the work of the bush regeneration groups ... especially now I know how much hard work it is just trying to regenerate my acre at Whistlers Rest.

A bit like governments and road and school improvements, Jim. ALthough, in the case of bush regeneration it it to recruit new members, rather than voters.

Dad used to volunteer with the bush regeneration group on the range escarpment in Toowoomba. It was a humungous and thankless task - their evil plant was lantana - it was a never-ending battle. Then he got too old and rickety (or so he thinks!) to continue - I just think he felt it was all a bit pointless.

I am in love with how these photos turned out. They are so stunning! From the "model-esque" shots to the detail shots of her amazing shoes. I can't wait to be able to work with her again!

For many years, mankind has believed itself to be the dominant form of life on the planet, but no more! Yes, on this day in the 1920s (sometime) a shocking revelation was made! In the course of a routine investigation, two cops stumble upon a mysterious happening in a rural locale, but this time, there's teens! And the police work is stellar. INTERSTELLAR? I'm saying that maybe the things involved could be to do with space. I dunno it's a real secret unless you read the name of the episode or the Call of Cthulhu rulebook at any point, but we put a few new spins on the old classic, such as incompetence. Also I called out an iTunes review I was annoyed about, because that's the kind of egomaniac I've become.

Snap up Cesc! Man Utd urged to sign Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City target Fabregas
TONY CASCARINO believes Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas would be the ideal replacement for Paul Scholes at Manchester United.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and United are all preparing bids to lure Fabregas back to the Premier League with Barcelona keen to offload the £30m-rated midfielder.
Fabregas' former club Arsenal - who held a buy-back clause in the deal that took the Spain international back to the Camp Nou - closed the door on a return by rejecting the chance to re-sign him.
Arsenal's decision not to pursue Fabregas could be United's gain according to Cascarino.
"Manchester United desperately need someone like Fabregas. They need someone to replace Paul Scholes"Tony Cascarino
The former Chelsea striker believes Fabregas, 27, would be the perfect candidate to fill the void left by United legend Scholes, who retired from the game in 2013 and has arguably not been replaced.
"Manchester United desperately need someone like Fabregas. They need someone to replace Paul Scholes," Cascarino said.
"Michael Carrick is fantastic on the ball but Cesc just gives you a little bit more"
Cascarino told talkSPORT: "He's 27 years old now and has been in and out of the team at Barcelona.
"He's not cemented a place in that side. He should be playing week in and week out."

Parenting in terminals and tarmacs...
Hi from BWI... I'm on my Blackberry, so bare with me...
I'm glad I get too see this view, but the "squeeze" feeling my heart gets reminds me that love sometimes, well, can bring minor discomfort (using doctor terms)...
I've got to wait til Kyla is airborne before I can leave, and in the post boarding silence I get to pause, watch and think.
I am blessed beyond belief. She brings me so much happiness and joy, and enev though she's posing some, ahem, interesting behavioral challenges at times, I wouldn't trade my "now" for the world.
I'm here to be her daddy, that's all I know. And hopefully be decent at what I do for a living and maybe even to leave a dent in the universe.
Feelings make us who we are. Feel them. They are part of passion's fire.
At least to me. And I'm feeling some feelings right now. Kyla was feeling some as we drove here and I'm telling myself like I told her, that "it's okay..." and "nothing is forever" and that "I'll see you soon..."
Take care of her in the air, Southwest Airlines. Like you always do.
PS - I'm wondering if I were to get her an iPod Touch with FaceTime... if she and I could constantly communicate... I mean, hey, they've got a Skype app... and I'd bet the iPod Touch just replaced the phone -- without the carrier...
Think about it.
Okay she's airborne now. I can leave...

Gods In Literature Essay, Research Paper
Whenever one refers to the literature from which the Greek god?s came from, such as the Iliad, it?s referred to as mythology. And yet, the literature of the Christian God, the Bible, is not. Both pieces of literature were written around the same time period, and yet, in modern day, the Bible represents a way of life for some religious organizations while the Iliad is simply read for pleasure. One may wonder why the stories of the Greek god?s, that were worshipped by the Greeks of the time, came to be known as mythology, and not as a religious book, like the Bible. One reason may be the definite contrast between the traits of the Greek gods, and the traits of the Christian God. In comparing the two pieces of literature many differences can be found between the Greek gods and the Christian God. Three of these differences are the ways in which they interact with humans, if they are one God or several gods and if they have a singular presence or omnipresence.
In the Iliad there are several references about the way that the Greek god?s interact with man and how the god?s treated them. Apollo and Artemis, twin brother and sister, gave aid to the city of Troy. Although Artemis takes a rather minor role, Apollo was constantly changing the course of the war in favor of the Trojans. Responsible for sending plague to the Greeks, Apollo was the first god to make an appearance in the Iliad. Also, mainly because Apollo and Artemis were on the Trojan side, their mother, Leto, also helped the Trojans. This shows that the Greek gods could be out to hurt some humans and help others. Sometimes, in their divine intervention, the Greek gods show little concern, love or compassion toward mankind. Looking in the Bible now, in the book of Ephesians, we find these verses: ?But, because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved.? (Eph 2:4-5) It can be seen in these verses that the Christian God has a great love for man and has saved them despite all of their wrong doings. ?But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.? (Ro 5:8) This verse shows that God?s love for man is an unconditional love, and despite the fact that all men have sinned against him, he still loved man so much that he sent his son to die on the cross. Thus giving man the gift of eternal life.
Another difference between the Greek god?s and the Christian God is that the Greek god?s are plural and God is one. In the Iliad there are several references to the plethora of Greek god?s. There are references to Zeus (who was the father god, a symbol of supreme authority and justice), Poseidon (god of the sea) and Aphrodite (goddess of love) to name a few. This shows that the Greeks had a god for almost everything. In the Bible, on the other hand, it is made very clear that God is one. ?A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one.? (Ga 3:20) According to the Bible God is infinite. So, can there be many Gods? Not according to the Christian beliefs. ?Hear O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.? (DE 6:4) It is the belief of Christians that there cannot be more than one
The last difference between the Greek gods and the Christian God is that the Greek gods have a singular presence and God is omnipresent. In the Iliad when Achilles was trying to burn the body of Patroclus he prayed to the two winds, Boreas of the North and Zephyr of the western gale, for help. Iris heard his prayers and conveyed the message to the two Winds. ?Her message delivered, Iris went off, and the two Winds rose up roariously, driving the clouds before them.? (p. 22) In this instance it?s shown that the Greek god?s are not omnipresent. The Greek gods couldn?t always hear the prayers. The Christians believe that their God is omnipresent and omnipotent. To say this is to say that there can be no real barriers to God?s knowing or acting. ?The Lord does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses. He is everywhere always.? (Ps 135:6) This clearly shows that the Christian God is omnipresent. There is no other explanation to how one God could do all of these things.
With the Christian view of God, it can sometimes be difficult to comprehend the actions and thinking of the Greek gods. Maybe this is why the Bible has become the text representing the Christian religion today. It is very plain to see that the Greek gods and the Christian God are very different. The Greek gods can be hard-hearted towards man, while the Christian God loves man and doesn?t tend to take such an active role in the affairs of man. The Greek gods are many with a single presence and power while God is omnipresent, all-powerful and all knowing

|Grab Introduces New In-App Emergency Button
There are three ways to access the Emergency button. First, inside the app, you can click the three bars located at the top left corner of the screen, which will open the side menu, where you'll see the new Emergency feature.
Second, you can click the red Emergency button that will appear on the top right corner of the screen when in transit mode. Third and last, you can go to the driver profile screen where you'll see the same Emergency button.
Once tapped, the new in-app safety feature will dial 911 and immediately connect you to the authorities. Apart from 911, you can also choose to call or text Patrol 117 or dial 143 for the Philippine Red Cross.
Grab stresses out that the Emergency button should only be pressed "in the unlikely event of an emergency." An example is when you or your driver is in danger. Prank callers will be dealt accordingly.

Facebook added the ability for users to specify custom genders – such as transgender, androgynous and genderqueer — in February, and the social network has now extended those options to indicating family members users are connected with.
Mombian, a lifestyle site for lesbian moms and other LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) parents, pointed out the new options, noting that gender-neutral options for labeling family members are now available, in addition to gendered terms such as son, daughter, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, brother and sister.
Readers: Is this a good addition by Facebook?
