PM Modi, Abe pledge cooperation in infrastructure sector
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe on Monday pledged to enhance cooperation in the infrastructure sector.
The two Prime Ministers issued a joint statement after their meeting. The two countries have stated that the Japanese side will launch a feasibility study by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) of a project for setting up of a 10 MW canal-top grid connected solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Gujarat as a model for next generation infrastructure.
Further, the Indian side appreciated Japanese yen loan pledges of 50 billion yen (approximately 500 million USD) for the Public-Private Partnership Infrastructure Financing Project to the India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL), and of around 15.6 billion yen (approximately 156 million USD) for the Guwahati Sewerage Project in Assam.
Both sides also emphasized that the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) Project should result in a new era of industrial infrastructure development with the creation of new generation Smart Community projects across six states in India.
Both sides acknowledged that in addition to new manufacturing hubs, the DMIC Project will envisage the development of infrastructure linkages like power plants, assured water supply, high capacity urban transportation and logistics facilities as well as important interventions like skill development programme for providing employment opportunities to youth.
India and Japan also welcomed the progress made in the development of industrial cities at Dholera in Gujarat and Shendra-Bidkin in Maharashtra, and integrated industrial townships at Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh and Vikram Udyogpuri near Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh.
India and Japan also expressed their expectation for introducing Japanese technologies and expanding Japanese investment in Mass Rapid Transit Systems (MRTS) with the possibility of adopting the most suitable financing scheme. Both sides directed the respective relevant authorities to start a feasibility study by JICA on a potential yen loan project for the MRTS between Gurgaon and Bawal in Haryana.
India and Japan also welcomed the progress achieved in the Smart Community projects, namely the Logistics Data Bank project, the Mega Solar Power project at Neemrana and the Seawater Desalination project at Dahej. Further, both sides instructed their officials to accelerate the implementation of these Smart Community projects. The Indian side assured to resolve the outstanding issues regarding the Seawater Desalination project at Dahej, including tariff, water quality parameters, water sales, etc. Both sides hoped that these projects will demonstrate the uniqueness of cutting-edge Japanese technology in India.
Both sides also welcomed the rapid progress made in the Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC), including the finalisation of the perspective plan and the designation of three cities, viz. Ponneri in Tamil Nadu, Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Tumkur in Karnataka, as potential industrial nodes. The two nations instructed their officials to expeditiously finalise the Master Plan and the Development Plan of the three cities by the end of March 2015.
Prime Minister Modi directed the relevant authorities to ensure the timely development of the infrastructure stipulated in Tamil Nadu Investment Promotion Programme (TNIPP), such as road development and power and water supply.
Taking into account the positive effects of the TNIPP on India's business environment improvement and infrastructure development, India and Japan agreed that a similar programme may be extended to the state of Karnataka.
In addition to this, both sides also welcomed the signing of a Framework of Cooperation between the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan in the Roads and Road Transportation Sector.
India also sought Japanese support in upgrading the ship-breaking yard at Alang Sosiya in Gujarat.
Agreeing to this, Japan underlined its policy to promote people-centered investment with an emphasis on inclusiveness to have as many people as possible enjoy economic benefits of investment, enhanced social resilience to climate change, natural disasters and capacity building. The Japanese side emphasized that promotion of such investment will lead to sustainable development.
Both sides urged and supported the Asian Development Bank to enhance its capacity to address the region's infrastructure and connectivity needs.
Prime Minister Modi, who is also scheduled to meet Emperor Akihito, is presently on a three-day visit to Japan that will conclude on September 3.

Paris crime hurting luxury brands, tourism
- From: AFP
- May 25, 2013
THE streets of Paris are getting a reputation of being unsafe for tourists and is threatening the great brand names of French fashion.
A leading association that counts Chanel and Dior as members urged the authorities to take action on the climate of insecurity which it said could keep cash-flush tourists away.
Several recent incidents have tarnished the image of Paris - the world's most visited city - including muggings and thefts targeting tourists and street violence.
"Paris is getting a reputation of total insecurity ... Foreign tourism is a godsend for our city and this insecurity is a direct attack against employment," said Elisabeth Ponsolle des Portes of the association, called Comite Colbert.
The committee, which promotes the French luxury industry at home and abroad, counts 75 of the country's luxury brands as members.

Louvre workers we t on strike to protest against a social problem? Would it be legal to strike in Australia for the such a reason?

May I suggest that most of this street violence and pick pocketing is not the work of young French people but an increasing invasion of foreigners who live by other laws, other beliefs and for a large part take advantage of the generous French welfare system, this is the world over, and enough is enough

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
WINTER PARK, Fla. (WKMG) - A 26-year-old Seminole County woman was arrested Tuesday in the fire that destroyed the oldest pond cypress tree in the world -- The Senator -- at Big Tree Park in Longwood.
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services arrested Sara Barnes on charges of intentional burning of land, a third-degree felony.
Barnes also faces drug charges from Seminole County Sheriff's Office based on what was found during a search of her home. She is being charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Deputies also arrested Jodi Hill, 41, on charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Both Hill and Barnes were booked into Seminole County Jail. It's not clear if she was involved with 'The Senator' incident.
The Senator, a historic, 3,500-year-old cypress tree, burned and collapsed in mid-January.
Two tips from Crimeline led the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to arrest Barnes, authorities said. Tipsters said Barnes had taken cellphone pictures of the fire in the progress and uploaded them to her laptop, officials said.
Deputies and agents served a search warrant Tuesday at her home near Winter Park. They seized a cellphone and a laptop, which are still being processed to see if the photos of the fire can be retrieved, according to authorities.
Barnes told authorities that she and a friend were inside the hollow tree on the early morning of Jan. 16 and lit a fire so they could see better.
The tree, named after Florida Sen. M. O. Overstreet, who in 1927 donated the property on which the landmark sits, was about 120 feet tall and its trunk had a diameter of nearly 18 feet. The tree was the main attraction in the park, which was dedicated by President Calvin Coolidge in 1929.

5 thoughts on "Who Was George Frideric Handel?"
Thanks so much for this-it was wonderful!
Yes, woderful! I had the blessing of visiting Halle and Handel Hause last winter with a student group. Some fotos are linked from my website.
I know more about Handel and his style of composition after these videos than I ever thought I would. I am going to see if our college here at SWBTS will give me a Music Appreciation credit for having seen these videos. (ha)
Seriously, thanks for posting them.

Matthew graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in May 2009 with a BFA in Sculpture. His work has been shown in Providence, RI, Oakland, CA, Richmond, VA, Abington, PA and Phoenix, AZ. He is currently living and working in Oakland, CA.
Grad School: SAIC vs RISD
as a sculpture undergrad at risd, i cant fill you in completely, but I took various classes in the grad D+M dept at RISD and they were some of the best classes I took... Of course not all of the students had the same motivations for learning the material as I did, so there were inevitably aimless arguments, but just as many challenging discussions. I'd say overall that some of the best graduate work at risd comes from the digital media department. I dont know if I'm too late to help, but I would surely recommend it.
I think your work is really engaging, not falling too far into one category or another.
good luck!

The Value of Genetics - Dr. Les Anderson, Beef Extension Specialist, University of Kentucky
Few beef producers would disagree that the genetic potential available for use in their herds via artificial insemination is greater than that of most natural service sires. The advantage of using AI stems from the improvement in the predictability of the bulls; their EPD's are simply more accurate and reliable. However, less than 10% of the beef cows in the United States are artificially inseminated each year (NAHMS, 2008). Many reasons exist for the low rate of implementation of estrus synchronization and AI (ESAI) into beef cow-calf operations. One factor that limits the use of ESAI in commercial cow-calf herds is the hassle factor. It is simply too much effort to gather the herd and work them 2-3 times in a 10-day period. However, the major reason, in my opinion, is that most producers cannot capture the added value of their AI-sired calves and the enterprise is not profitable.
Two real questions arise when thinking about using ESAI. First, are calves sired via AI more valuable? Second, how can a commercial cow-calf producer capture some of this value? These two questions have been investigated in an Advanced Master Cattleman program sponsored by the Kentucky Beef Network and the Agriculture Development Board. The goal of this program was to determine if steers sired by AI bulls proven in feedlot and carcass performance could actually perform better in the finishing phase and if these steers generated more revenue and were more profitable.
This project started in the fall of 2007 with 7 producers in Washington, Marion, and Nelson counties and has continued through this last breeding season. More than 900 head from 15 producers across KY were bred this fall alone. Each breeding season, estrus is synchronized and females in these herds are time-inseminated to an Angus, Polled Hereford, Simmental, or Charolais sire. The sires used are proven trait leaders in their respective breeds in feedlot and carcass performance. After weaning, the calves are vaccinated and backgrounded about 60 days. These producers retain ownership on their steers and they are sent to a feedlot in Kansas for finishing and harvest. Feedlot and carcass data have been collected on 139 head of steers sired either by an AI sire or a natural service sire.
Steers sired by proven AI bulls were more efficient in the feedlot. They outgained (.22 lbs per day) and required less feed per pound of gain (.31 lbs less feed per lb of gain) than steers sired by the herd bulls. Steers sired via AI were on feed 13 fewer days than steers sired by the herd bulls.
Using AI also improved the carcass performance of steers. Steers sired by proven AI bulls had a higher quality grade and a heavier carcass than steers sired by the herd bulls. The added feedlot and carcass performance improved the value of the steers. Steers sired by AI bulls were $146.60 more valuable at harvest than steers from natural service. After considering the feedlot costs, steers sired by proven AI bulls returned $163.18 more to farmers than steers sired by their herd bulls.
These data certainly demonstrate that using ESAI can improve the value of steers and the profit potential of beef cow-calf producers. Unfortunately, the only marketing method currently available to capture this added value is retaining ownership through harvest and many of the commercial cattlemen in Kentucky are skeptical of this marketing method. One alternative would be to establish local CPH-45 sales that feature steers and heifers sired by proven AI bulls. The calves in these sales would be source-, age- and "genetically"- verified for improved feedlot and carcass performance. The long-term goal of this Advanced Master Cattleman project is eventually to generate enough calves sired by proven AI sires that we can conduct CPH-45 "genetically-verified" sales.
For more information on this Advanced Master Cattleman Program contact either Dr. Les Anderson (859-257-2856) or Mr. Land Dale (859-278-0899).
EDITOR's NOTE: Many of the concepts discussed above by Dr. Anderson, including the incorporation of ESAI into the commercial cow herd and value based marketing concepts, will be a focus of the 5 part Ohio Beef School beginning in many Ohio County Extension offices on February 3. Find details, and a current listing of the host sites in the December 8, issue # 714, of the Ohio Beef Cattle letter.

Dry Conditions Limits Winter Wheat Grazing - Derrell S. Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist
Despite the fact that we are receiving some snow in Oklahoma as I write this, it is extremely dry in most of the winter wheat grazing areas of the Southern Plains. Dry conditions last fall made it difficult to establish wheat pasture in many areas and limited growth for winter grazing. With high feeder prices and limited feeder supplies, there is a lot of interest in how many wheat pasture cattle are out this winter and what will be the timing of those cattle into the market?
Wheat pasture conditions vary considerably in different regions and it is difficult to make an overall assessment. Most wheat pasture was planted late and developed late delaying placement of wheat pasture cattle. High wheat prices may have limited grazing interest somewhat but attractive wheat grazing prospects remain much of the fall. However, emerging dry conditions truncated grazing prospects prior to Christmas so the overall window for placing wheat pasture cattle was fairly narrow. All of that leads me to the conclusion that the number of cattle on wheat is probably no greater than it was last year and may be somewhat less.
I traveled some over the holiday period and noticed a wide range of wheat pasture conditions at this time. Most notable to me were several sets of cattle grazing extremely short or limited wheat. Those cattle will have to move very soon to other pasture or be marketed. The cold weather currently in place certainly means that no growth is occurring and the amount of lush wheat pasture is, I believe, quite limited. Cattle prices are attractive (though they may go higher yet), and strong wheat prices means that producers will want to minimize risk to grain yield. There seems to be little incentive to hold on to cattle, particularly if forage is short. I would not be surprised to begin seeing wheat cattle trickling into the market in the coming weeks. I don't expect to see any sizable bunching of wheat pasture cattle or a noticeable "run" of any size going into early March.
Forage Focus: Stressed forages need some TLC for a successful 2011 crop - OSU/Purdue Extension's AgAnswers
The well-being of the 2011 forage crop will depend on whether producers alleviate some of the stresses caused by past management concerns, according to Purdue Extension forage specialist Keith Johnson.
Heavy rainfall in the spring of 2010 delayed hay harvest for many, and dry weather in the late summer and fall may have led producers to allow animals to overgraze pastures.
"The 2010 crop year was stressful to forages because the early spring rains didn't allow producers to get the harvested hay crop out of the field as early as they would have liked and the quality was less than desirable," Johnson said. "Following that was a very long, dry period. As time went on, producers were stressing pasture crops they did have and overgrazing occurred."
Regardless of weather, forage growers need to take the time to identify the stresses on their hay and pasture crops season to season so they can eliminate some or all of those issues in the best interest of the existing plants.
First and foremost, Johnson said producers need to look at soil types (http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/) and take soil samples. Those samples should be air-dried and sent to be tested (http://www.agry.purdue.edu/ext/soiltest.html) for pH, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, cation exchange capacity and organic matter. A basic test should cover all of these different measurements.
Any measures of the test that come back at critical levels or less should be given immediate attention - especially pH.
"Different crops have a different pH level at which they grow best," Johnson said. "The cool-season grasses, really ought to be grown in a soil with a pH of 6.2-7. Most of the legumes we grow, such as alfalfa, really need a pH closer to 7."
Having the proper soil pH ensures nitrogen fixation in legumes and affects the availability of nutrients to the forage crop. A pH that is off ultimately could alter the forage composition, and producers could see less desirable forages growing in their fields.
Growers also need to evaluate the stands in their fields. They should look at what is in the pasture and determine whether it's more forages or weeds. If a pasture has been overgrazed and an abnormally large amount of soil is showing, overseeding might be an option.
Other pest stressors to watch for besides weeds are insects and diseases.
"It's the dynamics of growing crops that are important," Johnson said. "Do a good job of scouting. Look at the well-being of the crop as it grows. Understand why the crop might not meet your objective as it grows. Be diagnostic about things and take care of the issues in some fashion so the crop can be as productive as possible."
More information about managing forages is available in the Purdue Extension Forage Field Guide at https://mdc.itap.purdue.edu/newsearch.asp. The guide is $7.
In response to the forage issues of 2010 and the effects of short and low-quality forages on livestock, Johnson and Purdue Extension beef specialist Ron Lemenager hosted a free webinar that is archived and accessible to anyone at http://www.thebeefcenter.com.
Risk Back On - Nevil Speer, Professor, Animal Science, Western Kentucky University
Last year at this time the Monthly Market Profile began with the following observation: "We're in a dark wood and the way is not straight." Broader economic challenges led to subsequent characterization of the market being defined by resilience - ". . . in the hedge rows fighting our way out to some open ground." Well, so much for prognostication. The beef complex became seemingly invincible; markets never looked back, breaking out sooner and more easily than expected.
The current run provided 2010 with an exclamation point. The year ended with decisive action as fed cattle traded at $107 following the Christmas holiday; that's about $12 better since the market's near-term low in early-October (it's also the best level since October, 2003 - an artifact derived from BSE's influence on supply). More importantly, from a longer perspective (as discussed last month), the market has surged $27 from the low established in December, 2009 - the equivalent of fifty cents per week or the difference of $350/head in just over a year's time.
The fed market now possesses a new record from an annual average standpoint (see first illustration below). Perhaps more significant is the feeder cattle front; 2010 prices are second only to 2005 (that standard, though, was established within a sub-$2 corn environment; comparatively speaking, per the current feed price structure, the feeder market has captured the fed market's entire advance and then some). The development is favorable for the cow/calf and stocker segments - the "feedtruck premium" proves enduringly supportive. It also speaks to cattle feeding risk/reward perceptions and possesses important credit implications across the feeding sector (more later).
Despite a $1-2 breather as we opened business for 2011, the market has established this breakout to the upside going into spring - that implicitly fuels optimism for the first part of 2011 and prompts questions about potential upper limits for cattle prices. Clearly, beef demand will be key with wholesale values leading the way. Current prices (~$165) coupled with normal seasonality could potentially put us at $175 and support some more upside on the live front (being very careful to acknowledge lots of potential stumbling blocks from the demand perspective).
That said, against the backdrop of the broader economy, the market's current level further serves as an important development on several counts. First, it likely functions as a catalyst for shifting cost structures within the food business. That is, protein costs, coupled with a general rise in commodity costs, will ultimately have to work their way into the business model. But that becomes especially challenging amidst ongoing consumer frugality. Retail and restaurant chains must walk a fine line - the need to balance margins on one side versus maintaining traffic on the other. Over the short run, it appears that consumer loyalty is the priority. For example, Weis Markets recently announced a sixth round of sweeping price freezes.
That type of commitment, though, ultimately has to be made up in other areas and/or at a later time. The question becomes how and when respective businesses rotate around rising costs and implement necessary price realizations. As mentioned last month, that will likely NOT occur for middle-aisle products but rather in the perishable section. Cost management strategies could potentially begin to infiltrate the beef complex during second half of the year (following beef's demand peak). Therein enters the importance of the margin mix - the price/value relationship (or the perception thereof) between pork, poultry and beef and subsequent competitive positioning. The wholesale pricing structure has proven especially dynamic during the past several years and warrants ongoing monitoring (see second graph below).
Meanwhile, industry prosperity cannot occur without top-line growth. The market's run has also produced important benefits for the production sector. Total revenue during 2010 was also record high with cattle sales generating nearly $27 billion - approximately $3.5 billion ahead of last year (see third graph below). That's a very different scenario from the situation just 18 months ago. At the time (July, 2009) I discussed the detrimental consequences of declining revenue and declared that, ". . . in my estimation the industry is at a very critical juncture!" The discussion's primary focus surrounded inventory trends within the feeding sector.
Seemingly, there's a new paradigm at work. The last illustration below highlights the 12-month cattle-on-feed moving average (to eliminate the "noise" that occurs when viewing feedyard inventories on a monthly basis). Note that there was a steady decline between 2007 and 2010 (bottoming out in May) - the impact of numerous factors including escalating feed costs, the onset of the financial crisis and fewer cattle available to feed. During that period the industry appeared to have entered an inescapable adverse feedback cycle. The "risk off" mentality was predominant.
However, feedyard inventories are back on the rise - even in the face of shrinking feeder cattle supply and higher feed costs. Those factors won't likely be the primary challenges for many businesses going forward. Rather, the limiting factor may be inability to keep up with the need to expand access to operating capital. Regardless, higher markets and better sales have altered risk tolerance among feedyard managers. Hence, "risk on" is back in play.
As mentioned previously, there are lots of snares and traps to be wary of. We're working within uncharted economic territory. But unmistakably 2010 also marked an important turnaround - shifting from perceptions of an industry in decline to one of growth - the difference between "risk off" and "risk on".

Enzyme Commission Summary:
A flavoprotein (FAD). L-Aspartate oxidase catalyses the first step in the de novo biosynthesis of NAD+ in some bacteria. oxygen can be replaced by fumarate as electron acceptor, yielding succinate [Bossi02]. The ability of the enzyme to use both O2 and fumarate in cofactor reoxidation enables it to function under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions [Bossi02]. 2-iminosuccinate can either be hydrolysed to form oxaloacetate and ammonia or can be used by EC 188.8.131.52, quinolinate synthase, in the production of quinolinate. The enzyme is a member of the succinate dehydrogenase/fumarate reductase family of enzymes [Bossi02].

Fayetteville In 2009, the Fayetteville Memory Garden began as a vision for Rachael Ristau, who graduated from Fayetteville-Manlius High School this spring. This past Saturday Ristau and the rest of the community came together to see a finished project.
"I am proud to tell you today, the garden you stand in today is a physical reality of courage," Ristau told community members gathered at the garden, located next to the senior center on East Genesee Street. "Most importantly it was built with the hope and is a reminder that we are all fighting a different battle."
The design of the bricks within the garden is in the shape of a ribbon to symbolize bravery and courage, for those going through a difficult stage in their lives.
"The Fayetteville Memory Garden offers a special place for peace where it's okay to cry, grieve and be happy too," Ristau said.
Mayor Mark Olson expressed his pride over the final outcome of the Fayetteville Memory Garden. He said he was pleased with the sight of reflection for the Fayetteville community, and believes it will bring the community closer together.
"The village of Fayetteville is a special community," he said. "It's special because we are a community that does not say no. Most communities would have said when Rachael walked in, 'That's a lot of money, probably not going to happen, maybe next year or some other time,' but not this community. This community says we can do it, and they did."
Ristau, with help from the F-M community members, fundraised an estimated $90,000 over 17 months to create the garden. For her achievement, she was presented with the Gold Seal Resolution award by Kevin Holmquist on behalf of the Onondaga Chamber of Commerce.

Oregon Electric Station: 'We want this to be an everyday restaurant'
EUGENE, Ore. -- After months of renovations, the Oregon Electric Station is back open for business.
A new team of managers, designers and chefs have been working since March to restore the iconic Eugene restaurant.
Paulo Ruffi, the new general manager of the Oregon Electric Station, says the restaurant is tailored for Eugene.
"We made this, adapting to the market in Eugene and the people that are going to be visiting in Eugene," said Ruffi.
The restaurant was built on the plot of an old electric train depot, and included the train cars in its structure.
Ruffi said they completely overhauled the interior, while maintaining the aesthetics that make the place an Oregon landmark.
"Each table was hand made by a specialist. It's all been thought out and designed to have an efficient, consistent, classy service," said Ruffi.
The kitchen staff will be serving up old favorites, as well as plenty of new items to the menu.
"Prime rib, steak, filet. We have halibut salmon. All pastas and breads are made in-house," said Ruffi. "We want this to be an every day restaurant, where people can come and find something they like on the menu."
The Oregon Electric Station will open Monday at 11:30 a.m. for lunch and stay open until 10 p.m. for dinner.

But I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - J.D. Salinger ^(;,;)^
I enjoyed this exploration of music with David Byrne as the talking head, gently guiding the listener through how music (and the music business) work(s).
Like several nonfiction books I've read/listened to lately, my big complaint is I wish he just gave us more, dug a bit deeper, and perhaps hired a better editor. I like that the book was infused with Byrnes' own populist, funky, musical biases. It seemed autistically casual. Like talking to a really open person who isn't trying to hide or pull the shades on his own past. He didn't shy away from his own mistakes and his own life. He used Talking Heads and his own albums as examples of the different ways music can be done and sold. His interests allow this book to move from punk to African music to soundtracks, etc.
One of my favorite themes of Byrne's reminded me of the last book I read (The World Beyond Your Head: On Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction). David Byrne seemed passionate about not just music alone, but music's place in our social networks. How music is both a communication with others and reflective of our community. In his more zen moments he even rambles on about the music of the Universe, etc. Byrne's biases were occasionally annoying. He did seem to carry a pretty large dark spot right on-top of classic music's basic repertoire. His politics, or musical reactions to politics, also seems a bit naïve. But all is forgiven, in the end. This is a guy who is not afraid to put himself WAY out there, describe the scene as he sees it, and figure out a way to make the people around him want to dance. And THAT I guess says a lot and hides a multitude of minor sins as we dance into the darkness.
I normally don't gravitate towards abridged books (sorry folks on Audible, but this IS abridged), but Vasari's 'The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects' is a book that needs to be: 1) read by art history experts in its entirety (2000+ pages), 2) picked through periodically, like an encyclopedic "Garden of Delights", 3) read abridged, in a version that focuses on the Renaissance's best (Vasari was interested in distinguishing the better from the good and the best from the better). My time here is limited. I only have so much time for the good. In my brief life here I want to hang with the Gods not with the minor prophets. I want Michelangelo not Niccolò Soggi. Sorry Niccolò.
The Penguin Classics/George Bull translation, was a great audio version. It had all the Teenage Ninja Mutant Renaissance artists, but still provided plenty of architects, sculptures and painters that I was either completely uninformed about or lacked much knowledge. Vasari has a natural narrative momentum, even if he does sometimes lose his narrative genius when he's consumed with listing and describing all of an artists works. It is a fine balancing act, to try and describe the artists' life, work, and importance and make the essay complete, without making the piece a laundry list of oil and marble.
One final note. This is one of those books that seems destined to become an amazing hypertext book or app. There were times while reading it I wished I was reading a digital copy that would provide links to pictures, blue prints, smoothly rotating statues, etc. What I wanted was a through the looking-glass, artist's version of 'The Elements' app by Theodore Gray. I want a multiverse of art, history, maps and blueprints. I want to fall into a hypertext of Renaissance Florence and Rome. Audiobooks or paper just fail to do justice to this beautiful subject.

We all dream about the perfect home. And for many of us "home" is much more than the walls that surround us. Home includes the neighborhood, the community, the activities, the social interaction, and the overall environment. It's a place we can relax or engage—depending on what we feel like doing. It's a place of comfort and seclusion with easy access to fun activities, fine dining, in the middle of natural grandeur. If you can picture yourself in that kind of a place, you're picturing life in a New Jersey Resort Community.
That kind of community, however, doesn't have to be filled with rows of cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all homes. After all, individuals who share a love of the good life are still individuals. The style of home that's "picture perfect" for one person may not be your dream home.
A wide variety of exquisite quality New Jersey resort homes is just one of the things that makes Crystal Springs stand out from the crowd. Whatever your lifestyle, Crystal Springs has a home that will let you enjoy it to the fullest. You can choose from 10 different models of Condominiums within the community. Or, if Luxury Townhomes are what you're looking for, you can chose from four different models. Crystal Springs is a great family community, so if you're looking at Single Family Homes you'll have 13 different models from which to choose. And if exquisite Estate Homes are where you picture yourself, you'll find plenty of variety, with 12 different models to consider. Even if you're envisioning the luxury of Golf Villas for your family—or even as a corporate getaway for entertaining company VIPs—you'll find them in Crystal Springs.
Resort living in New Jersey may not be for everybody. But if you can picture yourself living in luxury, wrapped in the natural beauty, serenity, and seclusion of some of the most beautiful vistas the Garden State has to offer (and just miles from Manhattan), you really need to check out Crystal Springs!

U2 frontman in Israel for a short visit to spend time with friends. Leaves large tip at a Tel Aviv restaurant • The legendary Irish band leader is scheduled to leave Israel in the next few days to continue touring the world with U2.
Famed U2 front man, Bono, arrived in Israel on Monday for a short non-publicized visit. The iconic singer-musician dined in a restaurant at the Jaffa port together with several friends.
After dinner, the leader of the legendary Irish rock band and his wife headed to the Ilka bar on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv, enjoyed an expensive tequila and left a generous tip for the waiter.
As he exited the bar, more than 150 people stood on the sidewalk nearby and cheered him.
Bono is staying at a well-known Tel Aviv hotel and is expected to leave the country in the coming days due to U2's concert schedule.According to Israel Radio, Bono is also in Israel for a meeting of the technology company Dropbox - which has Israeli partners - in which he is reportedly invested. The U2 front man has been known to be a high-level investor in technology firms. Dropbox allows users to store information online. U2 was formed in 1976 and by the 1980s had become a top international act. The band has released 12 studio albums to date and are among the all-time best-selling music artists.
U2's record sales have reached 150 million and the group is credited with 22 Grammy Awards. In 2005, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
