Dog Meets World necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 99 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
Hello designers! We need a logo for our fun, photography based nonprofit. The purpose of this nonprofit is "Take and Give Photography," literally the onsite capturing and printing of photographs, so that children around the world (and their families) may own their first photograph. This logo will chiefly be for our website, http://www.dogmeetsworld.org, where we'll display all the latest photos from the project to the world.
!! Please first visit http://www.dogmeetsworld.org and download the concept paper pdf (link on front page) to get a sense of the nonprofit. (You can also reference this paper for general color scheme and feel) !!
Dog Meets World is a combination of a few elements: photography, worldtravel, and of course, our stuffed mascot pup.
The Dog in DMW'spurpose is two fold: one, to unite each image with our brand - that waythey aren't just pictures of random children. And two, to havesomething cute and memorable to help people remember the project, andto get the children engaged.
However, as a friend of the project says, we dont want dog overkill, to remember thatthis is first and foremost a project about "Take and Give Photography."We want to illustrate the photography element, using the dog as a sortof a bearer of photos, bringing them to the world. "Fetching fotos forthe planet's children," was an early tagline.
In addition to this, the project is mainly going to be viewedthrough a website, so the logo should be alittle "web 2.0" - as clean, friendly, and simple as possible. Also, itshould be horizontal with the "badge" to the left of the name (orincluded in the name if you come up with something good!). In thefuture, in addition to t-shirts and the usual company paraphernalia,the logo will likely appear on the photos themselves, in a corner or something, so it should be able to workmono-chromatically / as an outline.
By the way, the copy itself should say: Dog Meets World ..and the tagline should be.. The Global Photo Project (capitalsoptional for everything).
Looking forward!
Update: Also, we failed to mention approximately what the dog should look like. To see an example of the dog we are using, visit
We do not wish to emulate this exactly! The ears of the stuffed dog, for instance, look too crazy. This should only be a guideline for color scheme, etc. (note the dog's collar is red #cc3333). FYI, the actual dog, from which the project drew inspiration, is a black and white cock-a-poo.
- Clean!
- Friendly
- Modern
- Fun
- Simple
- Concentrate on these elements in line with the brand: photography/camera, a dog element, and the world (in order of descending importance - realize that having all three may become busy, but if you can do it cleanly, go for it)
- Anything clip arty
- Any references to the show Boy Meets World (even though, yes, the name is a play off that)
- Something stoic and reserved - this brand is fun and its all about people getting involved and bringing joy!
- A huge logo
- Something really busy

This was hands-down the best chili I have ever tasted let alone cooked. Follow the recipe to the letter the first time around so you can see for yourself exactly what you may do to tweak it - I'm going to be adding corn the next time I do, but there is absolutely no NEED to change anything. Fantastic recipe, I'm going to be making this on a regular basis.
Feb 8, 2014
I made it as directed forgot to drain beans( whoops ) I doubled the recipe and used one can tomato sauce instead of two cans tomatoes. A little extra chili powder, garlic and added green pepper .. Everyone loved it ! i also used white rice instead of brown due to gluten allergy
Dec 30, 2013
This is very bland and the baking cocoa is not a good idea. It is nasty!!!!!! I had to add bacon molasses, more garlic and worcestershire sauce to make it edible so we did not waste the food. We ate til we were full and gave the rest to the dogs.

Beware...people will fight you for this!
Earlier this year our friend John turned 30 (which I mentioned in earlier posts). To celebrate this momentous occasion, his wife hosted a great party and his mom, Sue, made this AMAZING caramel popcorn. I already thought his mom was pretty great, but the fact that she created the tastiest popcorn I ever ate just put her over the top. Lucky for me (and you) she shared the recipe.
This popcorn is not only delicious, it is easy to make, and super affordable. I bagged the popcorn in cute little cellophane bags that had skeletons printed on them and tied it off with an orange Halloween ribbon. I think this would be perfect to give out as a favor for a party or even in a big cauldron to share.
Caramel Popcorn
4 bags buttered and salted popcorn, popped (remove any unpopped kernels)
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
In a medium saucepan, melt together the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil over low heat 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the baking soda and vanilla.
Place the popcorn into a turkey roaster pan coated with cooking spray. Pour caramel over popcorn. Bake at 250º for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes with a spatula coated with cooking spray. Let cool before serving.

Destination guide: Ushuaia, Argentina
Argentine Ushuaia is the most southern town in the world and the main tourist hub for the province of Tierra del Fuego. In the Yagan language, Ushuaia means "bay that faces the west" and it is here where, due to its exceptional landscape, including majestic forests, lakes, rivers and mountains, cruise ships full of tourists from all over the world arrive every year.
Ushuaia is also an ideal destination to go skiing and on expeditions through Argentine Patagonia.

Nationals of the USA, Canada, most Western European countries, Australia and New Zealand do not need visas to visit Argentina. upon arrival all non-visa visitors must obtain a free tourist card, good for 90 days and renewable for 90 more.
Dependent children traveling without both parents theoretically need a notarized document certifying that both parents agree to the child's travel. Parents may also wish to bring a copy of the custody form.
Argentine officials are courteous toward tourists. Electronic items, including laptops, cameras and cell (mobile) phones, can be brought into the country duty free, provided they are not intended for resale. If you're over 18 you may also bring in up to 2L of alcohol, 400 cigarettes and 50 cigars. If you're entering with expensive computer, photographic and/or other electronic equipment, you should play it safe and declare it.
Business Hour
Traditionally, business hours in Argentina start at 8am and break at midday siesta (rest) for three or even four hours, during which people return home for lunch and a brief nap. After siesta, shops reopen until 8pm or 9pm. This schedule is still common in the provinces, but government offices and many businesses in Buenos Aires have adopted a more conventional 8am to 5pm schedule.

Winner of the Emerging Woman Architect of the Year Award 2014, Julia King talks about her work in both the UK and India
How does it feel to have won the Emerging Woman Architect of the Year Award?
'Sometimes in life you should try and be a bit humble. I'm trying to be humble, but it feels really amazing. I'm touched.
'It is things like this that give you a completely new lease of life. It just makes me want to go and work, get drawing, and get thinking, making new ideas.'
What effect do you think being a woman architect has had on your work?
'It has been very useful for me - being a female doing what I do. People are very intrigued by a young woman working by myself in the type of areas that I do. That intrigue has helped me. It opens people up because I'm not a typical white male in khaki trousers. It is very helpful being a female and in that sense it has been very useful.
I use being a woman to my advantage
'However, I recognise that as a profession there are issues there, but it has never personally affected me. I use being a woman to my advantage.
One of the judges praised the 'practical concern' of your work, what would you say about that?
'I've always thought 'just do – always make sure you do something'. That is why I have pursued live projects. My work is terribly practical. I love designing beautiful things but I'm more than happy in my work to sit back and offer a very practical solution. I see a lot of beauty in that.'
What made you focus on future urban development?
'I stumbled across it. When I decided to study architecture, in Venezuela, where I'm from, there had been these massive mudslides – whole communities had been wiped out. I spent my summer looking at quick housing solutions.
'I was always interested in the messier bit of cities – the stuff we look at and it makes us feel uncomfortable because we don't understand our place in it. By being slightly fascinated with how we see our cities growing up, I've stumbled into this space of trying to work in these polarities and junctions that you find in rapidly urbanising spaces.
'When you try and work in these spaces, with poverty at one end of the scale and world-class cities at the other, then you find yourself talking about future development.'
Why do you think research like yours is so important in architecture?
'I find it more and more important as my work continues. I'm part practitioner and part academic. It is so important because when you are trying to do development architecture, because there is not a traditional client relationship, and because you run the risk of solving one problem but creating fifty, the academic research becomes so crucial to make sure that you are doing the right thing.
You run the risk of solving one problem but creating fifty
'My job is often part architect, part figuring out the economy of the project, part designing, part caring. When you have this wide array of disciplines any decision you make has to be well informed.
'My academic work is so important to my practice in guiding the decisions that I make with confidence. I'm guaranteed to mess up at some point – but at least I will do it in the most informed way possible.'
What drives you to work on such difficult projects in difficult circumstances?
'It is what I am interested in. It is fascinating.
'Recently I've come to realise I've always been very uncomfortable with humanitarian architecture. I've always been like 'I'm an architect and a designer, and I find this interesting, and that's why I do this work'.
'I've always wanted to make our profession more relevant to real cities, to what is happening in the world. I find great pleasure in it because it is meaningful and that gives me great consolation.'
What relevance does your work in India have to the UK?
There is a lot to be learned. Across the board a lot of the themes and issues that I find in India, particularly linked around capitalisation and ageing populations, can be brought back to the UK. How to bring them back and work in England is possible my next challenge.
At the moment I have more work in India than I can or want to do. My challenge is figuring out how to work in England. I don't want to do high-end architecture here to subsidise and facilitate me working in India.
I wonder what the projects might be that I could do in England that fall in line with the kind of work that I'm doing in India.
I'm interested in the idea of working with the craft aspect of architecture. There is beginning to be signs of this kind of work in the UK, and this is where I am headed. It is where a lot of the lessons I have learnt about self-build housing in India will have a relevance in the UK.
Is there a difference in your authority as an architect being respected between here, in the UK, and India?
I'm very keen in India to say I'm from Venezuela. I would hate to come across as this neo-colonialist, coming across to India and imposing my ideas. My work over there is a lot more collaborative. Over here I spend most of my time doing academic work.
In India they can't believe that I choose to do what I'm doing
The respect is probably the same but for different reasons. In India they can't believe that I choose to do what I'm doing because most of the architects there are trying to get out and work for large practices in the UK.
What would you say to people who might say that your work is not architecture, that it has more in common with international development or civil engineering?
They would be completely wrong. Architecture has become irrelevant in how our cities are actually made. My work is small schemes, that will become bigger, but they are projects which make a point and try to look and conceptualise our cities and reimagine them. That is architecture. It is a very myopic vision of architecture if you just see it through the lens of buildings. Buildings are ephemeral – they come and go. I would like to do more buildings, but it is about the process. That is what architects are tremendously good at – connecting people and bringing them together. That is how I work.
Architecture has become irrelevant in how our cities are actually made
Is establishing a career more difficult for women architects?
It is tough. That is why so many successful women architects are in partnerships with another male. It is hard to be taken seriously as a woman. You have to fight twice as hard to gain respect on a construction site. You have to be really strong.
What role models are there for young women architects?
There are a lot. There are massively inspirational characters, young and old. The world is full of remarkable women.
What do you think needs to be done to help women in the profession?
There are cultures in mainstream architectural practice that need to be addressed – the competitions, the long hours.
We need more practices that are led by women
We need more practices that are led by women. People still talk about architecture as a male-dominated profession, and this will continue unless women architects come to the top.
When I was young at the Architectural Association I remember feeling like I had to choose between doing good and being successful. I no longer feel that way. In the same way that I now feel the type of work I do is more accepted in mainstream architecture. Culture shifts can happen.
We need to give young female architects more confidence that they don't need to have male partners to run practices, and that there isn't just going to be one of us who is going to be successful. There is almost an idea that only one woman architect is going to make it and be successful, not just in architecture but across business, because of this women don't help each other. Now we are beginning to see a lot of practices that are women groups. That shows young girls who are at university that it can be done.
What is coming up next for you?
I'm going back to Delhi on Monday, where I have a dauntingly large amount of work to do, networking six slums in East Delhi. It involves housing and sanitation.
I'm keen to go into smaller cities which are growing quickly and look at aspects of planning.

This week I finally finished The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I have been slowly savoring this book for the past… few months. I'm trying to remember how this book was recommended to me, but I forget. I'm sure I was sold when I learned that it was about magic. I am a sucker for fiction about magic. I think it's a condition that everyone who grew up reading the Harry Potter's suffers from. We are all looking for something to fill that Harry Potter shaped hole in our hearts these days. Refugees.
That got dramatic. Never mind.
The Night Circus follows a little girl and boy who are taught magic in order to compete against each other once they grow up. Their instructors also serve as their parental figures (one literally and one just by default, I suppose) and are responsible for pitting them against each other in a competition that is meant to lead to one of their deaths. The arena for their dual is the Night Circus, also called Le Cirque des Rêves. The characters eventually fall in love and this, well, complicates the competition. As you can imagine it might.
Here's what I love about this book: the circus. It is glamorous, magical, other worldly and Morgenstern does a fantastic job transporting her readers there. There are so many details and side characters who are involved with the circus that it really becomes a world of its own. I really think this book is worth the read just for the chance to go to the night circus.
Here's what I didn't love about the book: the conflict. The characters dilemma, being pitted against the one you love in a fight for survival has epic potential. But, in the end, the conflict feels more like it fizzles out. I also wish the lovers relationship had been explored more. I think it's a really interesting idea that they both grew up with cruel, isolating parental figures and yet they had no difficulty falling in love with each other. I can see how their upbringing would give them some common ground to understand each other from, but to me it seems like their pasts would have given them major distrust issues. I would have loved to have seen this obstacle confronted, as I think it would have added a level of depth to the characters and their relationship.
Have any of you read The Night Circus? What did you think? xo. Emma

Pratt & Whitney Funds and Helps Prepare Weekend-Long Camp Experience for 'Hole in the Wall Gang Camp' Families
Pratt & Whitney employees dedicated a recent Wednesday to participate in a Helping Hands Workday program at the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, Conn., with the purpose of preparing camp grounds for the arrival of a special group of campers that Friday.
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp offers seriously ill children the chance to experience all the wonders and enjoyment of camp, free of charge, while still receiving the medical attention they need, and this weekend-long respite was no different, except for one thing - parents and siblings were welcome to enjoy the two-and-a-half-day camp together as a family.
Twenty Pratt & Whitney employees gathered in the camp's dining hall on the chilly morning of Nov. 20 to meet Ray Shedd and receive their work assignments. Shedd, who is the director of corporate responsibility for the camp, explained that for many families, the weekend would be their first chance to share a common, joyful experience with their sick child and siblings, without the stress of worrying about medical care away from home. During lunch, Shedd gave the group a brief history of the facility, spoke of founder Paul Newman's tireless efforts to make the camp a reality, his hands-on involvement with the children, and explained how the camp is funded. Between royalties and profits of Newman's Own products, private donations and the generosity of groups and individuals, the camp is able to continue serving children free of charge, said Shedd. A $25,000 donation from Pratt & Whitney was used to underwrite the weekend event.
While leaf removal, wood splitting, bed making and general cleaning were the volunteer activities of the day, Pratt & Whitney's involvement with the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp extends to other programs, as well. Pratt & Whitney's Military Aircraft Division supports the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp through annual sponsorship of Space and Aviation Day, a community family day and static air show held at the Air National Guard Base at the Bradley International Airport. Each year, more than 3,000 people attend this free-of-charge static air show, receive free admission to the New England Air Museum and watch live demonstrations by the Connecticut Fire Academy. In addition, Pratt & Whitney plays a critical role in the sponsorship of fundraising events. Each year, Pratt & Whitney and UTC employees form corporate teams to participate in Team Hole in the Wall cycling events, as well.
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp was the starting point for what is now a global family of camps. Between 1988 and 1997, camps in New York, Florida, Ireland and France were created. In 2001, Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, Lesotho and Vietnam joined the list through Global Partnership Initiatives in Africa and Asia. By 2007, California, North Carolina, England, Italy and Hungary had camps, and soon, children living with cancer, hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, HIV and other serious medical conditions will have a facility in Israel.
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp has received national and international recognition for its work, including a Horse Farm of Environmental Distinction Award from the Connecticut Horse Environmental Awareness Program (HEAP), the Connecticut 2008 Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award for Not-for-profit Organizations from the American Psychological Association, and a UMass Memorial Children's Medical Center's Shining Star Award for "enriching the lives of our young patients and for brining joy and comfort to their siblings and parents." The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp was also cited as one of "10 Great Places to put the 'Giving' in Thanksgiving in USA Today, received the Distinguished Leadership Award from the Connecticut Architecture Foundation and a positive ranking in Contribute Magazine. The American Camping Association has re-accredited the camp with the highest possible score of 100, and in 2005 was cited as one of five "Best Charities for Kids" by Good Housekeeping Magazine. Other honors include the Dayton Hudson Foundation Masterworks Award, Eleanor Eells' Award from the American Camping Association, the American Institute of Architects Honor Award, inclusion on the "Angel's List" from the state of South Carolina, Office of the Secretary of State for our outstanding work in philanthropy; and a Humanitarian Award from CIGNA Foundation and Time/Warner.

Feds deal 'devastating' blow to Aryan prison gang in Texas
Officers round up 20 not already behind bars
Federal prosecutors and agents say they've dismantled the leadership of the violent Aryan Brotherhood of Texas prison gang, charging 34 members with racketeering activities for crimes including murder, kidnapping, arson, gambling and trafficking in methamphetamine and cocaine.
Three homicides were attributed to the white-supremacist gang members, including the killing of gang associate Aaron Wade Otto, 27, whose bullet-riddled body was found in November 2001 near the Houston Ship Channel, authorities said.
Otto's slaying was solved by the Harris County Sheriff's Office cold case unit and forms part of federal charges brought against three gang members named in the indictment.
Nearly 170 law officers across Texas and in North Carolina were involved in a roundup of 20 gang members who were not already in prison, said Assistant U.S. Attorney General Lanny Breuer.
"Today's operations represent a devastating blow to the leadership of ABT," said Breuer, adding the new charges unsealed Friday bring to 72 the number of gang members who have been charged with federal crimes.
"Brutal beatings, fire bombings, drug trafficking and murder are all part of ABT's alleged standard operating procedures," Breuer said. "As charged, ABT used violence and threats of violence to maintain internal discipline and retaliate against those believed to be cooperating with law enforcement."
One leader, Kelley Ray Elley, 36, whose gang name was "Magic," ordered the murder of a recruit and told the killers to make the hit "as messy as possible" as a way of intimidating other members from cooperating with police, Breuer said. Elley ordered the gang members to remove the prospect's finger and return it to him as a trophy, the indictment charged.
Gang violence included a July 28, 2010, incident in which three members used a blow torch to burn off an Ayran Brotherhood tattoo from a member's arm, punishment for refusing an order, the indictment charged.
Authorities say the indictment charges four of the gang's five Texas generals with federal racketeering activities. They are Terry Ross Blake, 55, known as "Big Terry"; Larry Max Bryan, 51, called "Slick"; William David Maynard, 42, known as "Baby Huey"; and Charles Lee Roberts, 68, known as "Jive." Charges were also filed against 13 other alleged leaders, and many other members and associates.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives began focusing on gang members three years ago.
The Aryan Brotherhood has about 2,600 members in Texas prisons and another 180 in federal prisons, the ATF said.
FBI Special Agent Stephen Morris, who heads the Houston Field Division, said a combined effort by federal agencies, Houston area police forces and prosecutors were employed to target the gang.
"A conscious effort was made to go after the worst of the worst," said Morris. "You've heard people talk about how, in order to kill a snake, you have to cut its head off and that's what this team has done."
Of the 34 charged, 17 were arrested by late Friday and another 14 are currently in prison on other charges, FBI Special Agent Shauna Dunlap said. The remaining three fugitives are in the Dallas area, she said.
So far, three gang members have been arrested in Houston, one in Beaumont, four in San Antonio, six in Dallas and one each in Brownsville, Corpus Christi and North Carolina, the FBI said.
The federal crackdown on the prison gang was welcomed by the Houston chapter of the Anti-defamation League, who have been monitoring the Brotherhood's violence for years.
"ADL has been aware of the Texas Aryan Brotherhood for years, and is all too familiar with the violent and dangerous activity of many members of this white-supremacist prison gang," said Martin B. Cominsky, southwest regional director for the agency.
The gang was formed in the 1980s among inmates serving time in the Texas prison system and offers protection to white prison inmates who join. The gang leadership organization is modeled on a military hierarchy structure, and the top leaders hold the rank of general, with majors, captain and lieutenants running the organization in and outside of Texas prison, the indictment states.

The Typehouse necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 139 diseños de 46 diseñadores freelance.
We need a compelling new logo for a web development and typesetting company with a green ethos. (Please read the brief - this is *not* about music - despite the name of the contest holder!)
Just to clarify my comments made a few days ago: images of houses are unsuitable (as they look as though they are for "estate agents").
There will be two prizes: the main prize will be $220 and one runner-up prize of $100.
The Typehouse -- typehouse.co.uk
We're launching a company concentrating on web design & development and typesetting/editorial services (including proof-reading, copy editing and copy writing - but not music - despite the name of the contest holder!). Consequently we are looking for something fresh, unique, memorable and, most importantly, will stand the test of time...we want the logo to grow with our company into a strong brand, whilst being clean and simple. The logo should complement that shown at http://theartofmusic.com/ but should not just be a re-working of that design.
The Logo will be used both for web and print purposes.
Important Note:
Upon contest completion and full transfer of payment, the designer will be expected to sign a contract transferring all ownership (copyright and title) of the final design over to The Typehouse. The Logo will become the property of The Typehouse, with the designer retaining the right to display the artwork in their portfolio and advertising materials. Please do not participate if you are not prepared to comply with this standard-industry procedure.
We will give regular feedback and eliminate designs that are a definite "no".
- Logo should give 'feeling' of – creativity, top-quality, credibility, professionalism.
- The logo should be instantly distinguishable with an original design feature/graphic element or unique font.
- The graphic element should be able to be extracted for use as a favicon.
- "The Typehouse" should go straight across
- Please no templates. Original artwork only.
- Transparent background
- Color is great, but keep in mind the logo should also translate/work well in B&WFormats:
- Vector CMYK Format (logo needs to enlarge w/o quality loss for large exhibition sized posters for conferences). Adobe Illustrator
- Winning designer will be required to hand over the completed vector file and some bmp/gif images in various sizes.
- Logo needs to work well in print - so please no 3D effects or complicated colour gradients.
- No music symbols please (this is not about music).
- No busy/fussy designs.
- Please avoid house designs - if used, they need to be understated.

From the SMHWith its twin outside staircase and arched entrances, the Chateau de Bellevue was one of the most eye-catching sights in Yvrac, a wine-making village nestling among the famous vineyards of Bordeaux.
Beautiful, but tired and in need of repair when bought by Dmitry Stroskin, a Russian millionaire, the chateau received a renovation permit and was due to be restored to its former glory.Instead, it was razed by a Polish building firm. Workmen were supposed to demolish only a separate smaller building in the grounds of the estate, but that is the only one still standing.
Villagers are furious about the "accident" and local authorities have opened an investigation.
According to the French newspaper Sud-Ouest, Mr Stroskin, who runs an import business in Warsaw, said: "I had no idea the chateau had been destroyed. I'm in shock."
He said he had spent years scouring the area for his ideal French chateau and "fell in love" with Bellevue. "Even if it was in a very bad way, I wanted to renovate it," he said.
The businessman said he understood the anger among local residents, but said he will not be prosecuting the builders for their mistake. "The damage has been done," Mr Stroskin said.
He has promised to "rebuild an identical Bellevue" including the chateau's grand hall, which could host up to 200 people. A Polish architect has already drawn up plans and local masons have received a 1.5 million euro contract to rebuild it over two years.
But villagers believe it was more than an innocent mistake. "This wasn't a slip of a digger, it was done on purpose," one told the M6 television channel.
Claude Carty, the mayor of Yvrac, has ordered all work on the site to be stopped while an investigation takes place. Local authorities have also lodged a complaint over a breach of the town's building code with prosecutors.
The former owner, Juliette Marmie, said: "The Chateau de Bellevue was Yvrac's pride and joy. The whole village is in shock. How can this construction firm make such a mistake?
"We sold it in good faith after Mr Stroskin showed us very detailed plans he had had drawn up with interior decoration respecting the 18th century style, and that's what we expected him to do. We are totally thunderstruck and don't know what to think. It was a very beautiful place. It needed some work done to it, not to be knocked down."

Broadband Comparison - Necessary For Subscribing the Right Service Provider
One of the most striking advantage which most of us are aware of is that, it is a source of information.
Other than this, it also acts as a good communication source.
What is most amazing about the presence of Internet is the fact that, it has a deep connection to the GPS system.
Over the years the web facility has broadened and gives you maximum access to downloads, entertainment scopes as well as online gaming.
This is because of the fact that, a number of service providers have come up to cater to the growing demand of users.
However, there are a number of such service providers that have come up.
It has become very difficult to decide as to which one has the best offers and would be best suited as per your requirement.
In this context, Broadband comparison has become highly essential in order to make the right choice.
There are infact, a number of factors or rather areas that should be taken into consideration, in order to compare broadband deals.
First of all there is the cost factor, which is quite obviously one of the most basic way to differentiate one from the other.
There are a number of service providers who provide fixed amount of payment per month along with some additional fees for installation of modem connections.
It is highly recommended to properly scrutinize each and every price conditions before actually subscribing to any of the services.
Secondly, there is the speed provided for Internet access as well as for downloading files.
Different service providers have different criteria for determining their prices depending on the speed provided.
In this context, it is highly recommended to clearly understand the difference between download speed and the Internet speed.
At present, the Internet market is providing a speed between 2 Mb to 8 Mb.
However, in case of only sending e-mails, browsing websites or downloading your favourite music and games, the standard speed is the best.
Infact, broadband comparison on the basis of download speed largely depends on the requirements of the client.
Practically there are various other ways also in order to compare broadband deals.
Some of them are Monthly Download Usage Limits, Package Combinations, Contract Length etc.
Some of the famous broadband services that have come up with distinctive offers are O2, Sky, Virgin media, Talk Talk etc.
All these service providers offer excellent download speed that may be as much as 8 mbps.
Other than this, they also provide excellent usage limits that is as much as 40 GB.
Other than this, it has various free offers, like free E-mails, free downloads etc.
Other than surfing the web for each and every detail of every broadband provider [http://www.
aspx], in order to compare, it is best recommended to log into the broadband comparison websites, that give you instant information about every service and also assist you to make proper decision.
All you need to do is log onto any of the price comparison sites, fill up a list of questionnaires and click compare.
Instantly a long list of details get displayed that gives you a comparative study of the service provider you wish to subscribe and the service that you are presently using.

So copying it into Auto seemed to work better?
I'm trying to get it working since I think I'm going to keep the CosmosEx permanently (more or less) connected to my TT... (I tried hooking it up to the MegaSTE to back up the BBS and.... I almost thought I trashed the real physical HD)...
But it seems to work great on the TT030 through ACSI (even if I hook up the BBS' hard drive tower to it for backing up on the SCSI chain).... If I can get it working I can use the Daynaport elsewhere (the BBS machine has an EtherNec)
My issue right now is that I can ping from the Pi... but not from the TT030. It identifies the driver when the ping program starts, and the CE_STING reports that it found the CosmosEx ok... but the ping reports 100% packet loss (and nothing else works).
(I'm using regular TOS for all this... never really got MiNT working... that's my next project).
Any ideas?

- Bernard PrasArtist Bernard Pras knows how to turn trash into treasure. The French artist recreates classic masterpieces, entirely of recycled materials! Pras' epic installations portray everyone from Marilyn Monroe to the King of Pop, and he even recreates classic paintings like Dali's self portrait and "The Scream."1
- Bernard PrasFrom afar, each of Pras' pieces appear like seamless paintings. Hokusai's classic "The Wave" crests with white caps, and Van Gogh's infamous "Starry Night" swirls in hues of blue.2
- Bernard PrasBut look closer, and we see that Pras doesn't use paint or paper for his collages, but instead hundreds of pieces of discarded trash.3
- Bernard PrasOne can marvel at Pras' creativity when taking a survey of his recycled materials. Old shoes, doll hands, colored wires, loose beads, potato chip bags and toilet paper rolls are hardly recognizable with the artist's expert arranging. The arrangements are then photographed, and seen as a two dimensional surface.4
- Bernard PrasYet when we do finally notice that can of Pringles or cast off Barbie doll, do we realize the grandiose (or sometimes more modest) scale of Pras' installations.5
- Bernard PrasThese collages, which are figures or imagery made up of stacking other objects, is the historic tradition of anamorphosis. Pras gives an eco spin on the craft by using his pieces to not only creating realistic portrayals of his subjects, but drawing attention to the massive collection of trash used to form each piece.6
- Bernard PrasThe resulting images are both commanding in form and medium, giving new life to pieces normally bound for the landfill.7

You are here
The fiduciary responsibility in its charter requires the African Development Bank to ensure that the proceeds in the projects and programs financed by it are used only for the purposes for which they were granted. The charter also requires that proper attention be paid to economy and efficiency in the procurement processes in Bank funded projects. Accordingly, the Bank prefers the most open competitive procedures for procurement of goods, works and services. Political and other non-economic influences or considerations must not influence procurement in Bank financed projects. The procurement procedures should give fair and equal opportunity to contractors, suppliers and consultants from member countries of the Bank. Transparency is also essential in the procurement process.
The Bank has developed Rules and Procedures for Procurement of Goods and Works and Rules and Procedures for Recruitment of Consultants that govern Bank financed procurement. To assist borrowers, the Bank has, in collaboration with other Multilateral Development Banks, also developed Standard Bidding Documents that should be used for contracts financed by the Bank.
As a part of its development mandate, the Bank is equally active in supporting the development and reform of public procurement systems in borrower countries. As the expenditure through public contracts is a sizeable portion of Government expenditure, increased efficiency, fairness, transparency and equal opportunity are critical for sustainable development and poverty reduction.

Prom 46: Vaughan Williams Symphonies 4, 5 & 6
Andrew Manze and the BBC Scottish SO delight in a rare VW treble
In his famous, if misguided, analysis in the early 1920s, composer Peter Warlock reflected that Vaughan Williams's style was 'just a little too much like a cow looking over a gate'. Hmmm. I'd love to know what Warlock, who died in 1930, would have imagined said bovines doing had he ever got to hear VW's Symphonies Nos 4, 5 and 6 – running manically round a field, perhaps, dive-bombing each other off trees, maybe, or simply lying back, legs in the air and looking up into the sky, reflecting on the bleakness of the abattoir and beyond.
Premiered in 1935, '43 and '48 respectively, the three Symphonies vividly capture both the frame of mind of the composer himself and the turbulent times in which he was living. For all VW's protestations, specifically about the Fourth and Sixth, that he wanted these Symphonies to be treated as pieces of music just on their own terms, the urge to read between the lines, conjuring up themes and messages, is fairly irresistible.
Hearing all three in order in one Prom was a rare treat. Here was a brave bit of programming that worked superbly, in part due to the sheer variety of the three works, in terms of both mood and material, but also to some terrific playing from an on-form BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Andrew Manze.
It seems somehow strange seeing Manze, period instrument champion extraordinaire and one of the most affably easy-going people you could ever meet, tackling the fury of large-scale symphonic Vaughan Williams – for me, he's all about the nuances of solo Bach and the charms of chamber music. And there's the danger of pre-conception. Did I really think that the brass in the vitriolic opening movement of the Fourth could have been a little less gentlemanly, or was I simply choosing to believe it, given my perceptions of who was in charge? I suspect the latter.
But then, maybe one can also credit Manze's chamber background for his deftness at highlighting detail: that heavily pronounced stepping bassline in the lower strings gave the second movement of the Fourth an unmatched eeriness; the horns that open the Fifth didn't just disappear into the background as so often, but continued to float serenely above the orchestra; and, in the Sixth, the creepy 'ghost-town' saxophone solo swung with a rare menace.
Manze paced all three Symphonies expertly, too, never rushing headlong through the rowdier moments, never lingering self-indulgently in the more reflective ones. And while the Proms has seen many performances of the Fifth in their time – not least the premiere itself – few will have featured a Romanza as exquisitely handled and sensitively played as this.
At the very end, the closing chords of the Sixth's desolate finale were met with a lengthy, rapt silence by the audience, only eventually broken by rapturous applause. A hugely memorable Prom. Score? Vaughan Williams 3 Cows 0.

Striping Legends
The Streets Division has a proactive street marking program. In most areas, we use a durable pavement marking application (such as raised pavement markers in lieu of paint striping, thermoplastic stop bars and legends in lieu of painted surfaces). The use of these methods means that we spend less money on paint which must be renewed annually, and help the environment in the process. When feasible we replace painted markings with durable markings.

Azure Stack is Microsoft's enterprise cloud technology that allows organizations to run Microsoft Azure on their own premise. During the early adopter testing phase, I needed an Azure Stack host that I could take between my office (by day) and home (on weekends), or to take to client sites to demonstrate. So I created a portable version of Azure Stack by building a 14-core / 10-terabyte cloud in a briefcase!
For those who need a background on Azure Stack, please see a couple articles I wrote on Azure Stack describing the technology in more detail, as well as the business use cases of who is lining up to buy Azure Stack. My initial article back in February 2016 covers some early experiences, and then a October 2016 article that updated some more recent work on Azure Stack.
So back to this Portable Azure Stack cloud… My first testing of Azure Stack back in 2015 involved a typical 100-pound, 4U rack mounted server that I had in a rack in one of our datacenters. Many of the bare metal build cycles of working with Azure Stack involved hands-on at the server console since after all, Azure Stack is the foundation of a datacenter infrastructure (compute, storage, networking, VMs, fabric, etc). So I found many hours sitting with a coat on freezing in the datacenter working at the console of the server. Once Azure Stack was running, I was able to remote into the server and do all other management functions from anywhere.
However when you're demonstrating Azure Stack and talking about how Azure Stack can be placed in an enterprise's own datacenter, that it is effectively Microsoft's scalable Azure cloud that you host on your own, when you remote into an Azure Stack environment, it's not very exciting to see. You get an Azure console screen that looks 100% like Azure's public cloud console screen, so the effect of talking about this on-premise Azure just didn't have any visual impact.
I wanted to bring Azure Stack into the conference room of our clients (that are Hosters, Finance orgs, Healthcare orgs, high-security military and government orgs) and show them Azure in their own facilities. But lugging around that 100-pound 4U rack server wasn't too feasible, and so Azure Stack Portable was born.
I tried to find a laptop that was big enough to run Azure Stack, however to get a "real" Azure Stack host with more than 12-cores, more than 128gb of RAM, and at least 5 physical hard drives proved impossible. And while I tried to do nested virtualization and tweak dynamic memory to make the thing work on less, while I was able to get the thing to boot, the performance to run dozens of tenants, SQL apps, Web apps, a variety of virtual machine systems, cheating the cloud of resources only killed performance.
So I pursued building an Azure Stack configuration out of components (motherboard, DIMM memory, power supply, etc) and instead of putting it in a large tower or desktop case, I measured all of the components and got the whole thing to fit in a briefcase!
Here's a picture of the Azure Stack server all folded up, next to my 13" MacBook for size comparisons...
This Azure Stack Portable has:
- an Intel 14-Core Processor
- 256gb RAM
- 1 SSD TB Boot Drive
- 8 SSD TB Data Drives
- a 14" USB-powered LCD Display
- 90-watt Power Supply
I'm able to run all of the various Azure Stack scenarios on this system with lightening fast performance that includes having 20-30 tenant VMs running at the same time, running KeyVault security, a couple VPN Gateways for test tenants to access their Azure Stack resources, Azure SQL, Azure AppService, the works!
Internal view with the LCD display mounted on one side of the briefcase, Intel NUC WiFi router to the left, Motherboard in the middle (big silver thing is the passive heat sink on top of the massive processor), power supply to the right, hard drives are mounted toward the front of the case (you can see a cage to the left front that houses 4 of the drives, the other drives are under the black "ledge" I put in there), and on top of that ledge thing is a 2-way video/keyboard switch box (for the NUC / Azure Stack) and I place the keyboard and mouse on top of the ledge when I pack the thing up to go...
Everything folds up into an 11-pound briefcase with a single wall plug. In my configuration, I also put in an Intel NUC (a small 1"x3"x3" brick computer) that has a WiFi adapter and Ethernet adapter on it. This was needed because Azure Stack assumes its IP range remains the same every time I turn it off and on, however when I connect to various WiFi connections as I move the Azure Stack Portable around, I'd get a different host server IP address and Internet gateway address. So this WiFi router solves the problem by establishing internet connectivity anywhere, but keeps the same 11.1.1.x IP address range for my Azure Stack's external connection.
For the configuration, I bought all the parts from newegg.com and amazon.com and pieced the system together:
- SuperMicro MBD-X10SRI-F Server Motherboard LGA 2011 R3 (NewEgg # N82E16813182928, US$275)
- Intel Xeon E5-2660 V4 2.0 GHz LGA 2011 105W BX80660E52660V4 Server Processor (NewEgg # N82E16819117634, US$1500)
- SuperMicro SNK-P0048PS 2U Passive CPU Heatsink for LGA2011 (NewEgg # 9SIA1UH3H72684, US$23)
- And then I have 256gb of RAM (8 x 32gb DDR4 DIMMs), 1 boot drive (Samsung 850 EVO 1TB 2.5" SSD SATA 3 MZ-75E1T0B/AM) plus 8 data drives (same 1TB SSD drives) @ US$300ea
- GEChic 1303H 13.3" Portable Display (HDMI, VGA, USB-Powered) (Amazon.com @ US$300)
- Plus power supply (with SATA cable splitters for power), keyboard, mouse, case, fans
This motherboard has been good with plenty of SATA connectors for hard drives, built-in VGA video, built-in speaker, so everything that the basics are needed. The motherboard supports a 20-core Intel processor and up to 512GB of RAM, but if you've ever priced out the cost of those components right now, it would have tripled my budget (which by the way, this whole setup as configured cost ~US$4,000)
Its been really nice to take my Azure Stack home on weekends to do rebuilds or test bare metal stuff, and bring into the office and take to client sites to demo Azure Stack... Thing boots up and stabilizes in about 8 minutes, so as long as I can get into a conference room and power the thing on, get WiFi off the router, I'll have the thing running within 8-10 minutes. Pretty slick!
A bit of a geek moment for those who enjoy fiddling with bare metal hardware as well as have a foot in the scalable enterprise cloud world of today! Hope you enjoy this article, cheers!

We are in the process of redesigning our complete website. In the process, two of the website graphics we aren't happy with.
You can view our progress here http://www.zas.com.au/new2
The two images for this project are:
member_bg.jpg - This is the red background located in the top right hand corner for members login. This project is for a redesign of this background image to more suit our requirements. Based on our logo colours etc I believe that the colour is probably suitable. However the design itself is not.
black_zas_bg1.jpg - This is the black background located below the member login. The new website will feature a subscription based email marketing program. It will contain tutorials on car detailing, general information and sales promotions. We have titled it "ZAS eMag" however designers have the liberty to change or alter this title to what they feel may be more suitable. This background image forms part of the page that needs to attract clients to submit their email.
The new images should be a straight swap for the current images. Length can be altered if completely necessary, however width is restricted to the current 170px.

Monkey Mountain
'Monkey Mountain' is a large, self-contained facility that will offer families in Summit County, UT and surrounding areas a high quality, big fun, indoor recreation center. Occupying over 4,000 sq. feet, it is designed to hold giant, soft, contained play structures; slides; imagination-inspiring play areas; an activity/learning room; a birthday party room; and a front drop-off/sign-in area.
There will be two distinct areas of play – one for younger children aged 1 to 4; and the other for children 5 to 12. All of Monkey Mountain's equipment is safety-tested, proven and approved for quality play. Employees will be thoroughly trained in child safety and CPR, as well as be required to learn and employ our theory of 'Adventures in Learning,' i.e., educationally-driven activities children will experience within our establishment that maximize fun while enriching learning.
The separate enrichment rooms, with instructors, will provide an array of age-specific structured activities including art, music, dance, dramatic play and more in pre-scheduled one & two-hour blocks throughout the day. This will provide parents and children the potential for a much needed and desired melding of play and learning, with the learning skewed towards the arts, something sadly reduced or missing in our public education system.
The primary target is Adults 25-49, but understand that parents, guardians, aunts & uncles will also find great enjoyment within Monkey Mountain's confines, with a spacious, scenic seating area where they can watch their children play and learn, while enjoying free WiFi.
We need a fresh new logo that represents our large, ambitious, indoor play space here in Park City. We'd love it to incorporate a monkey(s) but me mindful of how you incorporate, as we've thus far failed in funding a way to have a representative monkey character in the logo and still make it clean, readable and fun, so...
1. Stay away from well-known representations of monkeys like Curious George or Paul Frank logo.
2. Nothing too elegant or sophisticated - we want to be approachable and accessible, i.e., so locals and tourists want to come by a few times a week.
3. Typeface should be clear, simple, and bold - stands out. We like the type face for the old 'The Flintstones' cartoon and a company called 'Playtime' that's making our soft-play structures (out of Denver).
Feel free to experiment with colors, etc., but please keep us distant from the existing 'Rain Forest Cafe' type/colors.
Please no stock images or clip art in the logo.
I've attached a sheet of logos from our previous designer that was approaching what we needed but in the end failed to successfully communicate what we wanted. Take it for what it's worth! I also attached a rough, hand drawn attempt by the owner/investor while on a plane, which is very rough! Thanks all!!

Popular etymology has long derived God from good; but a comparison of the forms ... shows this to be an error. Moreover, the notion of goodness is not conspicuous in the heathen conception of deity, and in good itself the ethical sense is comparatively late. [Century Dictionary, 1902]Originally a neuter noun in Germanic, the gender shifted to masculine after the coming of Christianity. Old English god probably was closer in sense to Latin numen. A better word to translate deus might have been Proto-Germanic *ansuz, but this was used only of the highest deities in the Germanic religion, and not of foreign gods, and it was never used of the Christian God. It survives in English mainly in the personal names beginning in Os-.
I want my lawyer, my tailor, my servants, even my wife to believe in God, because it means that I shall be cheated and robbed and cuckolded less often. ... If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. [Voltaire]God bless you after someone sneezes is credited to St. Gregory the Great, but the pagan Romans (Absit omen) and Greeks had similar customs. God's gift to _____ is by 1938. God of the gaps means "God considered solely as an explanation for anything not otherwise explained by science;" the exact phrase is from 1949, but the words and the idea have been around since 1894. God-forbids was rhyming slang for kids ("children"). God squad "evangelical organization" is 1969 U.S. student slang. God's acre "burial ground" imitates or partially translates German Gottesacker, where the second element means "field;" the phrase dates to 1610s in English but was noted as a Germanism as late as Longfellow.
How poore, how narrow, how impious a measure of God, is this, that he must doe, as thou wouldest doe, if thou wert God. [John Donne, sermon preached in St. Paul's Jan. 30, 1624/5]

The USDA Guaranteed Home Loan Program in Ridgewood is backed by the USDA – the United States Department of Agriculture.
It is a TRUE no money down home loan in Ridgewood. Many people who take advantage of this program are able to get into their homes with little to no money out of their pocket.
BUT, there are several USDA Loan eligibility requirements in Ridgewood that you need to meet in order to take advantage of this home loan program.
USDA Loans in NJ Requirements Explained:
The first requirement is that you cannot be a current homeowner.
If you already own your home but are planning to sell it, then you are still eligible in Ridgewood! You just need to have your existing home soldBEFORE we can close the loan for your new home.
The next requirement is that your total annual household income cannot exceed the limits set by the USDA.
These income limits are based on market area and family size.
Another requirement is that you cannot have defaulted on a USDA loan in the past.
This means that if you've had a past USDA loan that has gone in to foreclosure, you unfortunately aren't eligible.
How to take advantage of USDA Loans in NJ:
To take advantage of this program, the home has to be located in an eligible rural area.
But guess what, rural does not necessarily equal country! Homes do not have to be in a country setting.
In fact, there are many areas where entire counties and cities qualify for this program. The property has to meet minimum USDA Loan property standards.
The home must be in satisfactory condition, and this loan cannot be used to finance any sort of income producing property.
That means mini farms, and properties with farm acreage are not USDA Loans eligible.

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips (from making iPad cases), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.
Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.
Step 5: Main fabric facing up, zipper (with the first piece sewn on) facing down and the lining facing down. Sew along the zipper, as close to the zipper foot as possible.

Cliff Gerrish writes on his Echovar blog:
The consumption strategy that makes the instant messaging model of Twitter work is to follow a core group and then track keywords of interest. Tracking keywords adds people you don't follow into your stream and provides a proper level of noise and negative feedback into the information ecosystem. ... It's tracking that makes a decentralized Twitter nearly impossible. ... This feature radically changes the shape of the social graph underlying the information stream. Since you don't know who might use a tag you're tracking, the regular RSS style contract around publication and subscription doesn't work.
Gerrish's claim that tracking makes it impossible to decentralize Twitter seems to have convinced Steve Gilmore of Techcrunch who writes: "Decentralizing Twitter is unnecessary, if not impractical." Fortunately, both Cliff and Steve are wrong.
Distributed tracking of Twitter-like streams is easily accomplished using what are now well-known systems for distributed publish/subscribe. Certainly, it is easier to implement tracking if you have everything going through a single choke-point in the network, but it isn't necessary. In fact, as long ago as the 80's we had USENET based systems that handled the distributed fan-out of messages (news posts) that were then "matched" against user's local subscriptions (Yes, matching was normally trivial "topic-based" matching, however, "content-based" matching systems were often deployed locally). What we could do in the 80's we can do today -- but do it better. After all, we've learned a great deal since then.

Farmers' Almanac predicts another nasty winter
Lewiston, Maine — The folks at the Farmers' Almanac are feeling a bit smug after correctly predicting the past nasty winter, which featured relentless snowstorms and a polar vortex.
Editors of the 198-year-old publication in Maine are projecting more of the same in a few months.
The latest edition officially goes on sale this week. It forecasts colder-than-normal and wetter-than-usual weather for three-quarters of the country east of the Rocky Mountains.
The publication, not to be confused with the New Hampshire-based Old Farmer's Almanac, bases its long-range forecasts on a secret formula based on sunspots, planetary positions and lunar cycles.
Modern science doesn't put much stock in the formula, but modern meteorologists sometimes struggle with long-range forecasts. The national Climate Prediction Center projected milder weather last winter.

I am excited to announce that I have completed my next grant milestone! I recently increased test coverage of extend_vtable.c to over 95% ( 95.5% to be exact), achieving the milestone with a half percent buffer. It definitely wasn't easy, but I changed the way I was approaching writing tests and it resulted in a huge burst of productivity.
I went through a test coverage report and wrote down, on an actual piece of paper, every function that had no test coverage. This allowed me to circle the functions that I thought would be easiest to write tests for, and quickly got those out of the way. I then went for uncovered functions that were similar to already covered functions, and then finally I got to the hard functions.
This was a fruitful exercise, because it was decided by Parrot developers that some VTABLE functions escaped accidentally and that they should be removed from the public API. Whiteknight++ removed Parrot_PMC_destroy (extra points for humor), which I was using incorrectly in the extend_vtable tests and which was actually coredumping Parrot, but only on certain platforms. I then removed Parrot_PMC_mark and Parrot_PMC_invoke, the first being an implementation detail of the garbage collector, and Parrot_PMC_invoke because it was the only function that returned a '''Parrot_Opcode_t*''' and basically not fit for public consumption.
I also created a ticket (TT#2126) for a bug in the Parrot_PMC_morph function, which has some possibly buggy but definitely unspecified behavior.
The remaining, untested functions in extend_vtable are clone_pmc, cmp_pmc, get_pointer_keyed_int, get_pointer_keyed_str, remove_vtable_override, set_pointer_keyed and set_pointer_keyed_str. I leave the testing of these functions as an exercise to the interested reader :)
Grant Refactoring
This reminds me of a saying, I can't remember it exactly, but it is something about the best laid plans of camels and butterflies often taste like onions. Anyway, since I wrote my grant, the Parrot Embed API was deprecated and replaced with a shinier and better documented system. After talking with cotto++ and whiteknight++ on IRC, it was decided that working on test coverage for the new embed API was a better use of resources than writing tests for the old embed API that my original grant referred to, which will most likely be removed from Parrot soon.
The new embed API is called src/embed/api.c and the plan is to replace my grant milestone of 95% coverage of embed.c with 95% coverage of embed/api.c, which is currently at 72% coverage.
To summarize, I have two grant milestones left, increasing extend.c (currently at 61% ) and embed/api.c to 95% coverage.
Given the lessons learned from testing extend_vtable and based on the fact that I have already made some headway, my new estimate for these milestones is three weeks each. To make this more definite, I plan to be done with this grant work by July 15th.
This is the home stretch! I can feel it in my bones.

The 12th-century New Testament manuscript will be returned to a monastery in Greece. J. Paul Getty Museum / for China Daily
Getty officials said that although the Byzantine illuminated New Testament was acquired as part of a larger, well-documented collection, recently uncovered records from 1960 indicate it was removed from the monastery illegally.
It will remain at the Getty Center until June 22 as part of an exhibition called Heaven and Earth: Byzantine Illumination at the Cultural Crossroads before returning to Greece, along with numerous other objects on loan for the show.
The announcement of its return was made a day ahead of Tuesday's scheduled press preview of the exhibition that is to be attended by Greek Minister of Culture Panos Panagiotopoulos.
"We applaud the Getty for their responsiveness to this matter," Panagiotopoulos said in a statement. "Their decision to return this precious Byzantine manuscript honors the spirit of our 2011 Framework for Cultural Cooperation."
In recent years, the museum has returned several artifacts to Greece, Turkey and Italy that the nations complained were taken from their countries illegally.
Museum officials say they have never knowingly acquired any artifacts whose provenance was in dispute.
In the case of the New Testament, officials said its disappearance was never reported to authorities and thus it was never listed on any database of stolen art.
"Over the past six weeks, the Getty Museum has worked cooperatively with the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports to understand the recent history of this manuscript and to resolve the matter of its rightful ownership in a timely fashion," Timothy Potts, director of the J. Paul Getty Museum, said in a statement.
"Based on new information that came to light through this process, the museum decided that the right course of action was to return the manuscript to the Holy Monastery of Dionysiou from which it disappeared over 50 years ago."
Panagiotopoulos said the manuscript was copied in 1133 by the scribe Theoktistos and is considered a masterpiece of Middle Byzantine art.
