Outdoor Concerts & Accessories
by Nancy Schmitt
It's August and that means one thing for music lovers: we're in full swing of outdoor summer concert month. If you're in the Big Apple, you've got your pick of locations and genres to enjoy, but no matter where you find yourself, when the city comes alive with the sound of music, you're going to need a few essentials to fully enjoy your outdoor concert experience. We've put together a list of our favorite must haves from some of the hottest designers and their coolest outdoor summer concert essentials.
BODHI Bags (http://www.bodhibags.net) price tag: $198.00-$798
Outdoor concerts are an all day affair, and you need to bring all of your gear with you in style. If you're looking for a fusion of functionality and cool in one package, look no further than BODHI bags. BODHI bags have lines specifically designed for travel and tech, with an inspirational mantra sewn into the inside of each bag for good measure. A couple of our favorite BODHI bags include the extra roomy Framed Weekender and classic Vintage Army Large Backpack. May the BODHI be with you.
NOBIS (http://www.nobis.ca) Price tag: $35.00 – $49.50
Nothing beats a crisp blue sky to work on your tan while you're rocking out to your newest favorite band. But too much of a good thing can lead to a serious sunburn, so keep things covered with the newest hats from NOBIS. With a penchant for designing new takes on classic silhouettes, their Spring 2011 collection features hats wearable throughout the seasons. Our two favorites are the unisex Jared and Hunter. Both are incredibly comfortable, superbly constructed hats and feature a quick-dry wicking sweatband to keep your head cool and sweat out of your eyes so you can catch that stellar guitar solo. The Hunter gets bonus points for including a stash-pocket on the front bill, for quick access to cash or whatever else you want to keep handy.
Phosphor Appear (http://www.phosphorwatches.com) price tag: $199 – $249
Chances are you're going to want to check out multiple acts during the day and can't afford to show up late and miss a shot and lining up that spot in the front row. Enter the Phosphor Appear. A rare and seamless combination of beauty and tech, the Appear uses miniature-sized rotors under the Swarovski crystal covered display to reveal each passing second as the crystals flip over, displaying the current time. The watch also features and "off mode", displaying only the luminous crystals on the face and transforming the watch from beautiful timepiece to brilliant bracelet.


text: The Koshi river basin is shared between China, Nepal and India and is one of the key trans-boundary river basins in the Hindu-Kush Himalayas (HKH). The basin drains an area of about 88,000 km2 and is a river system with a high potential for investments in hydropower development as well as irrigation in the downstream areas. In addition the basin contains important ecosystems and protected areas which provide a range of biodiversity and related ecosystem services and sustain livelihoods. The basin is home to over 40 million people with agriculture as the dominant activity. However, the diverse topography, young geological formations, degree of glaciation and monsoon system make the basin particularly prone to water-related hazards like extreme flooding and landslides. Droughts are also experienced in the rain-fed tributaries of the basin during the dry season. Urbanisation and floodplain encroachment have also added pressures on the water bodies and ecosystems of the basin. Climate change will likely exacerbate these pressures with consequences for seasonal water availability, and food and energy security, highlighting the need for appropriate water management and disaster risk reduction strategies. A river basin approach, through the application of integrated water resources management (IWRM) principles, is essential to address the trans-boundary nature of many of these multifaceted issues. A conceptual framework for addressing these challenges within an integrated water and land resources management perspective for the Koshi basin is presented in this paper.

The Fargo, North Dakota, Kiwanis Club already had a history of aiming high. But club members reached a new high when they decided to support The Eliminate Project. Part of the appeal is the fact that even a gift of less than US$2 to the campaign makes an impact—protecting the lives of one woman and her future babies.
"Rarely can we do so much for such a small donation," says Club President Ryan Hoffman. "It was our calling to push for a heavy goal, due to our leadership, our size and our presence in our community."
The process to become a 100K Club started early, with a few key club leaders. The timing was good: The club had just begun strategy sessions to create plans and goals for the future. The Eliminate Project became one of those goals.
Multiple methods
To achieve such an ambitious target, Fargo Kiwanians are employing multiple fundraising methods. The club aims to reach US$100,000 through individual giving from club members, community support and fundraising activities.
Additionally, the Fargo club sells wristbands and collects donations during big club events—such as its annual pancake breakfast. In fact, the pancake breakfast is a good example of a club taking something it already does well and making it a vehicle for The Eliminate Project.
Over the event's 55 consecutive years, club members have mixed, flipped and served up enough pancakes to feed more than 10,500 community members. And the dinners have raised funds for organizations ranging from the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center to the Special Olympics, the YWCA and the Fargo club's sponsored Key Club. Now it will help eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus.
The pancake breakfast also fits a key component of the club's fundraising strategy: community involvement. For example, the Fargo club is working with other Kiwanis clubs in the community to distribute a joint press release to raise awareness of the pancake breakfast and efforts to support The Eliminate Project.
In fact, club members constantly look for opportunities to involve community churches, nonprofits and other organizations. Ultimately, Hoffman says, it's the boldness of the goal itself that gives members faith that they'll reach 100K Club status—and save or protect more than 55,000 women and their future babies.
Donor Profiles
Name: Kiwanis Club of Fargo
Hometown: Fargo, North Dakota
Serving children since: 1920
Members: 114
Upcoming fundraisers: annual pancake fundraiser, bracelet sales
Donation: US$100,000
Impact: Save or protect more than 55,000 mothers and their future babies

"The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself."
Wallace Stevens
I have retreated from the world a bit to write about words and the world and the connections between them. I am mindful of the privilege of it–to be given time and space and money to do this kind of work. It also has its challenges–how, for instance, to thrive in one's aloneness rather than succumb to loneliness.
I am also thinking and reading and writing about beauty, a word so vast, so large and deep, and at the same time so evacuated of meaning in a culture like ours. We mistake glamour for beauty and either chase it or deride it, without fully reckoning with how enslaved we are–whether we're sentimentalists or cynics–to a soulless commodity culture that sets the terms of debates and conversations we can't think or speak or act outside of.
And what of beautiful words? More than fifty years ago, novelist Walker Percy warned how, in a culture of cliches and jargon, words lose their ability to signify precisely, to name reality truthfully.
I think we're starving for beautiful words in this age of cliches and jargon and of dis-graced speech–the graceless ways of our political rhetoric, the coarse and crass ways we talk to each other, especially on social media, a forum for human interaction that only emboldens these terrible tendencies. This linguistic crudeness falsifies our desires–makes us want to possess, own, control, manipulate. We don't seek the well-being of the other with whom we speak (or to whom we respond on social media at 2 am); we aim to one-up.
And yet at this late stage in this political economy, what could possibly chastise us? Are we no longer capable of embarrassment or regret? Have we made our peace with our own reckless promiscuity with words?
By beautiful words, beautiful speech, I don't mean flowery phraseology. I mean the kind of skilled care with words that moves, stirs, compels the hearer or reader with not only its loveliness but its beholdenness to goodness and truth. Beautiful speech is both playful and precise, serious and generous, honest and imbued with humility. Its rarity in our lives, both private and public, is grievous.
And what of this beautiful world? To listen to our current political discourse (and corporate media's coverage of it), is to encounter not only feverish dishonesty–no gesturing at all toward the beautiful, the good, the true–but it is to surmise that the well-being of the earth and all its inhabitants is of no material concern–unless that concern can be commodified, quantified in terms of economic benefit.
Given the All-Trump-and-All-Clinton-All-the-Time commitment of the major news outlets, one might be hard pressed to know about suffering people and threatened ecosystems around the world. Like a pipeline rupture in Alabama; like the massive protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline; like the terrifying trends related to climate change; like the years-long catastrophe that is Syria and its beautiful people. And so many more.
Where are the words we need so that we might be moved to love the world back to health and wholeness? Who will speak them and how will we hear them?
For me, for now, with a heavy sense of my own privilege, it is back to books, back to poems–the beautiful words of lovers of language and lovers of the world–and down to the river for a run in the late afternoon sunlight. All of which gives me some hope. At least for today.

towVeterans Memorial Park of Kentucky is located on almost 66,000 sq. feet in an educational
complex that includes a high school, middle school, and two elementary schools. The setting of the Park is in the Theodore Klein Historical Tree Museum. Trees have been identified by American
Heritage Girls for Park visitors. Also, additional flowering trees will be planted.
The location of the Park is in Crestwood, KY off, Veterans Memorial Parkway (a section KY 329), is approximately 1 ½ miles south from I-71, Exit 14, and is handicap accessible.
The main entrance of the Park has a brick pad consisting of engraved bricks of only veterans. Bricks for servicemembers who died in service of their country and POWs/MIAs will be distinctive with different colors than veterans' bricks. A monument in the shape of Kentucky recognizing Park Sponsors and supporters will also be at the entrance along with the installed information kiosk.
The 900 foot sidewalk, called "300 Years of Military History" is:
• Segmented and each segment is 72" X 36" which permits two wheel chairs to pass each other
• Has brick inserts that have sequential years engraved in each insert, beginning with 1775
• Includes colored segments that indicate at least one American died in a military action that year
During ceremonies, historical American flags are placed along the sidewalk during ceremonies to illustrate which flag was flown in battles of that era. Student docents are planned to stand by the flag to provide historical information it.
Three types of educational markers about military actions are installed along the sidewalk:
• Granite pedestal markers include information about specific military actions with individual markers for those actions where at least 100 were killed; other markers may include multiple military actions
• Markers on metal poles provide quotes concerning the military and veterans
• Informational markers are installed in the ground with specific information about military history, such as the Windtalkers, Tuskegee Airmen, women in the military, military dogs
• Kentucky County markers are installed in the ground acknowledging those who served from their county
Military history is depicted on large panoramic black granite monuments with etched pictures that is the focus of the Park, beginning with the Revolutionary War.
Benches are also installed. There are three 30-foot flag poles for the American, Kentucky, and POW flags.
There will be a five-sided gazebo with each side having a granite pad by it. The installedpads have military branch emblems and a place for the branch's flags to be placed next to them during ceremonies. On the grounds, there will be a speaker's stand.
Also planned is an area designated as the "LZ", representing the Vietnam War Landing Zone, where organizations (e.g. VFW, Marine units) and fanmiies will be able to sponsor a marker with information about their organization/family's military history.
In the future, bronze dioramas will be added to reflect the military's uniforms and personal equipment from wars in history.
The Park also includes:
• An outdoor classroom that was done as an Eagle Scout project
• A Liberty Elm Tree from the Liberty Tree Society that was donated by the Sons of the American Revolution and patriotic bird houses decorated and placed in other trees by an American Heritage girl.
It is worth mentioning that a decision was made for the pedestal markers and branch medallion holders by the gazebo will be made utilizing American granite. This has greatly increased the project's cost by several hundred thousand dollars. But, the Board decided that using American granite on these Park elements is important regardless of the cost, even if completed construction of the Park is delayed. Concerning the Korean War pedestal, can you imagine a veteran from that war reading the topper about it which is mounted on Chinese granite!

Triple gold medalist Paralympian Michelle Stilwell leads a 24-strong team announced today by Athletics Canada and the Canadian Paralympic Committee, to compete in the Rio Paralympics in September. The sitting MLA in the BC Legislature for Parksville-Qualicum won double gold in wheelchair racing in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a gold and silver in 2012 in London.
The team is also headlined by multiple Paralympic medallists Brent Lakatos of Dorval, Que., and Diane Roy of Sherbrooke, Que., along with world champion Guillaume Ouellet of Victoriaville, Que.
"Our nominated athletes in para-athletics bring world-class accomplishments and exciting potential to the Rio 2016 Canadian Paralympic Team," said Team Canada's Chef de Mission Chantal Petitclerc. "I know that all our athletes and coaches are making the most of these final few weeks of preparation before the Games as they work towards a peak performance in Rio. I can't wait to cheer them on at the start line in September."
At the London 2012 Paralympic Games, Canada's athletics team won nine medals, led by Lakatos with three silvers (200-metres, 400-metres and 800-metres). The 36-year-old Lakatos has also earned 12 International Paralympic Committee (IPC) World Championship podiums (including seven golds) and three Parapan American Games gold medals.
"I can't wait for Rio," said Lakatos. "These are my fourth Paralympic Games, and each one has been so different. Athens was a blur, Beijing was bitter disappointment and London was my first taste of the podium. This will be the first time I head in as a favorite."
Stilwell, the team's lone gold medallist at London 2012, won gold in the T52 classification wheelchair 200-metres and silver in the 100-metres. Jason Dunkerley and guide Josh Karanja of Ottawa, Ont., won silver in the T11 visually impaired 5000-metres and bronze in the 1500-metres. Guillaume Ouellet will make his Paralympic Games debut as the reigning world champion in the T13 classification 5000-metres, while Rio will mark Diane Roy's sixth Paralympic Games, an impressive career that has seen her win five Paralympic Games medals overall.

Empire Big Screen: DAY ONE
Saturday August 13th 2011
After literally months of waiting, Empire Big Screen was finally unleashed upon the public yesterday as thousands of students, freelance journalists and other degenerates descended on London's fabulous Millennium Dome (or 'the O2' if you prefer) for three days of wholesome movie-based fun. I was there, press passed to the nines, and luckily for you I took LOADSA PICS.
My day began in the absolute worst way that any day can begin: on the tube at rush hour. I know it's boring to complain about public transport, but I also know that it's the one thing I enjoy above all else, so I'm going to do it anyway. I mean, SERIOUSLY, why can't people just wait for the next one rather than cramming in to within an inch of their lives? And why does nobody understand the phrase 'move down inside the carriage' these days? Am I right? Is this thing on?
When I finally got to North Greenwich station, I was greeted by these rather pretty Cowboys & Aliens saloon-style ticket barriers. Inventive, I think you'll agree.
There was already a massive queue forming outside the dome when I rocked up at 9am, and it was filled with people confused about the ticketing system. Inside, there were more people confused about the ticketing system. It seemed even the staff were confused about the ticketing system. There were people with passes, people with badges, people with tickets and diamond tickets and tattooed barcodes. A friend of mine who'd come just to see the Titanic 3D footage was suddenly given a weekend press pass. It makes a mockery of the entire accreditation system I tell you!
The shiny figure you see above is charming man (and certified deity to the readers of Empire Magazine) Chris Hewitt, who's hosting most of the event this weekend. To kick the morning off he introduced some footage from a few upcoming 20th Century Fox films, which I will now attempt to summarise for you here:
- Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a weird opener, given that it was already in cinemas nationwide by that point, but the audience dutifully sat through the glorified EPK we were shown and responded with a delightfully British round of quiet applause. None of your bullshit Comic Con Whooping for us, thank you very much.
- In Time looks amazing, so much so that I was tempted to agree with the man from Fox when he predicted that it'll be the film to cement Justin Timberlake as 'a lead male' (his brilliantly clinical choice of words, not mine).
- Martha Marcy May Marlene, which I saw at Cannes (darling), is being marketed as a thriller when it's actually an arty psychological thing. It's great though.
- Titanic 3D looks every bit as beautiful as I'd hoped.
I ducked out before the Sherlock panel began and instead wandered the O2 in search of fun. And by 'fun', I mean a poster for Hanson's upcoming tour:
I soon discovered that most of Big Screen's most enthralling sights were to be found within 'Hollywood Boulevard', a collection of stalls and displays every bit as simultaneously shit and brilliant as the actual Hollywood Boulevard. Observe:
Here's a replica of the DeLorean from Back to the Future. At this point it would be easier to list the events I've been to that didn't have a replica of the DeLorean from Back to the Future.
This delightful creature played Hagrid's dog Fang in some of the Harry Potter films. He was all slobbery and gross but also da cuuutteesst ickle fing evaaa!
This must be that 'inspired' Dark Knight Rises marketing campaign I've heard so much about.
This is me and FilmJuice writer Beth Webb taking advantage of the London Film Museum's Star Wars set replica, a blast for kids and grown-ups alike. As at least fifty people pointed out later on, the entire point of the Darth Vader strangling thing is that he doesn't actually have to touch his victims, but I think we still deserve points for execution.
It goes without saying that the biggest crowd inevitably gathered around the stall with the FREE T-SHIRT sign. All you had to do was 'register with Sony Pictures' and you got your choice of Men in Black 3 or The Amazing Spider-man. I went for the former. And I'm not saying I used a fake e-mail address but email@example.com may well be hearing about certain exciting offers from Sony Pictures in the coming months.
There were also free Smurfs posters, one of which I quickly set about modifying into a humorous photo opportunity. Here's purveyor of all things well-designed Olly Moss taking the opportunity to be humorous with it:
Oh that Olly Moss, what a cad. I went to see him on a panel called 'What's the greatest movie poster ever?' later that day, and while they never told us the answer to the question I suspect that my interactive Smurfs creation is up there. One of the other people on the panel was dressed as The Dude from The Big Lebowski, insisted on being referred to as such, and spent the duration of the discussion swigging conspicuously from a hip flask. He's actually very talented, but that doesn't make me hate him any less. See if you can spot him in this blurry photograph:
(Second on the right.)
After that I dropped by the exciting Empire Big Screen press room to see PR kingpin James Warren, who you may remember from my award-winning coverage of Big Screen's press launch. He was in typically high spirits:
Elsewhere in the room, there were some inconveniently high chairs and an arrangement of glasses that may or may not have been art. Feel free to decide for yourselves:
I asked around to see if I could get hold of a much-coveted 'VIP pass' before my own scheduled appearance on a panel that afternoon, but was assured that there was no 'special green room' as I'd heard and that my press pass was exactly the same as the VIP pass anyway. Could it be true? Or was the truth being systematically withheld from me? I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE!!
The panel in question was titled 'How to become a film journalist' and although my inclusion can only have been some kind of ironic joke on the part of the organisers, the audience were kind enough not to point that out. They even posed for a photograph, the lovely beggars.
And best of all, I did eventually stumble upon a VIP pass and … *drum roll* … THERE WAS A MOTHERFUCKING SPECIAL GREEN ROOM AFTER ALL. Complete with free lager and comfortable chairs! My two favourite things in the whole wide world ever!
Everything's coming up wobblyrob.

Dear dz,
I have worked a little with the new and great ELSIX to update my projects stored there.
Here my first persoanal experiences and comments:
* I find that the fonts are a little large so that I always have to scroll up and down. Especially the Home page should show a one-liner for each new project and not the full blown description.
* when clicking on "My Subscriptions" I got a mysql error line in the otherwise correct page
* I did not find a method to specify "any ROM", "any processor", "any Screen Resolution" which is important for the Zaurus-X-gcc cross compiler which is not hosted on a Zaurus...
* When adding a branch, I also did not find a way to specify "any supported ROM", "any supported Model". Is it really meant that I specify e.g. 4x5=20 links/versions if I have written my tool to work on all models?
* I got another message in /public/host/elsix/html/mod.php line 421
* After adding a branch release I did not come back to the project page
* I tried to use upload but got an error that there is no permission. Then, I found out that the system assumes to use anonymous FTP. This is IMHO only needed files larger than e.g. 2MByte. All others should be uploadable like the screenshot
* For the Unixname I have just choosen the same as the project name removing all spaces and making everything lowercase. And I have never seen or used it again. Isn't that something which could be done automatically?
* The library mechanism was too complex for me - so I decided not to specify anything there.
So my general impression: great work, very powerful functionality - sometimes it even appears as overkill for my needs as a developer. Some smaller glitches which can be fixed.
Once again many thanks for developing this tool! I really know how much work is behind the scenes...
Have a nice evening,

I'm working on a solution for the frontpage thing. I'm used to it from using Freshmeat, but I'll try and make a simply small solution for displaying all new projects.
Could you please post the error you recieve from the 'My Subscriptions' page? It's hard for me to figure out what's wrong without knowing the error :-/
As far as the 'any *' thing, I simply did not think of that. I will add that feature soon.
I think I fixed the error in mod.php, but again I don't really know the error you're receiving. If you could post that error as well please
Branch Release redirect fixed.
The unixname is used when the system renames your file. You won't see it until you upload a file.
The library mechanism is there mainly for new users. If your project uses standard libraries, I suppose you wouldn't need it.
Release upload is being worked on. We had it all working and good, and then a couple days ago we were held back by the limitations of our hosting. Not a problem though; it'll just take me a little to fix.
I figured there'd be many bugs upon first release of the elsi. Thank you for bearing with me while I fix them I'll try and get an updated version of the elsi soon.

Hi, I didn't know where to post this, and I didn't really want to create a new topic for such a trivial matter but here it is.
I wanted to me a recomendation.In order to make our (the simple users) lifes easier, you should add some things.One, you should have the search engine search in both project name and description.Also, a sorting system would be nice (Both in browse software and the search engine).Something like a dropdown list of: Sort by: Name, Views, Rating, Downloads etc.
I guess the elsix has just been lauched, and many more things come first.But I think it's good to hear what other people have to say.Remember, these are simple recomendations.Your site is what I think was missing from the whole equation, and is good enough without these features.But, it would sure make our lives easier...

I'll do my best to add them
I just got a full-time job (was getting low on reserves, so it had perfect timing) so my time isn't as open as it used to be. Regardless, I still have plenty of time to work on this and I plan on adding all your features. It just might take me a couple days.

My latest academic article appears in the Newspaper Research Journal. The article, titled "'God Bless America' Serves to Rally Americans to War," examines the usage of the phrase "God Bless America" in the New York Times. Here is the citation for the study:
Kaylor, B. T. (2013). "God bless America" serves to rally Americans to war. Newspaper Research Journal, 34, 93-105.Here is an abstract for the study:
Perhaps more than any other phrase, "God Bless America" best represents America's civil religion. However, its usage has not been consistent in newspaper coverage. Over 1,700 instances of the phrase from over 120 years of the New York Times are analyzed to determine changes in frequency, source, context, and primary tone. Several important changes are noted and discussed, especially regarding increased use of the phrase in times of war and changes in context and speakers.The article is not online, but the table of contents for the issue can be found here.

Our Travelberry product incorporates the best features of travel booking systems to provide a superior experience for the customer and to improve margins for your business.
Effective travel booking systems are essential when you are running a successful travel website. They are necessary for any travel operator wanting to provide the best service to their customers as well as to increase sales and margins. Although there are many available, it is worth considering the qualities of what makes a good system before choosing one. You want to ensure that you are providing your customers with a simple and easy to use booking system.
If you are a travel agent or tour operator, good travel booking systems allow you to package your own holidays so that you can offer more competitive prices and special offers to attract more customers, even when you are competing with low prices to start with.
Customers will visit a travel website looking for a variety of possible products, including flights, hotels, cruises and car hire. When they start to make searches, good travel booking systems can return results with packaged prices so that the customers do not see the individual product prices. This allows you to conceal mark-ups and leads to increased margins.
For customers, there are many benefits of having a travel booking system in place. Dynamic packaging systems improve the experience for customers by mimicking the experience of going into an actual travel store, leading to a more natural buying experience. This makes it more flexible and often cheaper for them to find exactly what they are looking for.
The best dynamic packaging systems incorporate new sources of data rapidly, meaning you can take advantage of new product feeds for hotels, flights and other products - so you can get them on the market quickly. This also enables customers to start buying immediately without you having to suffer from any down time.
Booking systems should also be very flexible so that they can be used for your unique requirements. One of the things you should be looking for is a great website that is very flexible with page layouts so you can add information such as brochure content. Travel website designers who specialise in this area can make your website dynamic and attractive so that it inspires sales and improves the experience for the customer. Along a team of designers, we have a experienced developers who will be able to help a business with any techincal problems and improve usability.
A good booking system should also search a number of data sources, including XML Feeds, Web Services and APIs. This will allow you to provide a number of results from a large variety of products in a format that will be familiar to the user.

That's a good thing. As the popularity of group singing grows, Science has been trying to explain why singing, especially group singing has such a positive and calming, yet energizing effect on people. Researchers discovered that singing is like taking a tranquilizer, it soothes nerves and elevates the spirits.
The effect is from endorphins, a hormone associated with feelings of pleasure released by singing; which is why people sing when doing something they enjoy or are just "feeling groovy". It can also be caused from oxytocin, another hormone that's released when singing and has been found to alleviate anxiety and stress.
Oxytocin also enhances feelings of trust and bonding, which may explain why still more studies have found that singing lowers feelings of depression and loneliness.
The benefits of singing regularly are cumulative. In one study, singers were found to have lower levels of stress, and suggest that our heart rates may sync up during group singing.
This explains why group singing is used in so many public events; not only during a religious ceremony, but in public and political gatherings as well. They create a sense of being "part of the group".
Studies have shown that singing relieves anxiety and contributes to quality of life. One researcher who focused on older singers found that group singing could improve the health and well-being of older adults and lowers stress.
You don't even have to be a good singer. Studies of group singing reported "satisfying and therapeutic sensations even when the sounds produced are of mediocre quality" and regardless of what those just listening may feel.

"The Mystery of Darwin's Frog"
No, the big frog on the cover of Marty Crump's "The Mystery of Darwin's Frog" is not eating the little frog, but (kind of) giving birth to it. This is the peculiar amphibian known as Darwin's Frog, an endangered South American species.
Like seahorses, the males in this species brood the babies — in this case, tadpoles. Unlike the seahorse, which has a marsupial pouch, a daddy Darwin's Frog hangs around a bunch of fertilized eggs, waiting for the eggs to hatch as tadpoles. Then Dad slurps them into his mouth. Instead of traveling to his stomach, the tadpoles spend two months in their father's vocal sac, surviving on the yolk each hatchling possesses.
When the tadpoles turn into tiny frogs, they crawl into their father's mouth and wait to be burped into the world.
Author Marty Crump's clear, engaging text does justice to this extraordinary true story, and explains why an unusual fungus is threatening the species.
Boulder artist and illustrator Steve Jenkins' marvelous paper collages show how those overburdened fathers manage to house their growing progeny, supplemented by Edel Rodriguez's maps, timelines and silhouettes. The photographs of the pointy-nosed frogs are by a handful of photographers, including author Crump.

The Digital Photographer published a 12 page special on urban photography, I got an excellent 6 page article with a few images of mine. If you are in the UK, pick up a copy of "Digital Photographer" Issue 74. This is the interview the article is based on:
How long have you been taking photographs professionally (or semi-professionally, if applicable)?
My grandma used to give me her rangefinder camera to take family pictures when I was a kid, later on she gave me my first camera. I started getting seriously into photography when I was a teenager and bought my first SLR kit.
Did you undergo any training to get to where you are today?
I'm self-taught through books and internet forums , but I also work in the graphic industry as a graphic designer and photo retoucher, that sure helps with composition etc.
What camera gear do you use?
Right now I'm using a Canon EOS 5D and a Sigma DP1, where I prefer the Sigma on a day-to-day basis due to its size. The EOS gets used for longer outings and assignments.
What inspired you to take up urban photography?
When I moved to New York City in 2002, I was inspired by the energy of the city and immediatedly started taking photographs of strangers, not knowing that the genre "street photography" existed. It quickly became a very serious hobby of mine and I purchased a Canon EOS 10D.
What are the typical preparations that need to be made before a shoot? (Both in terms of camera equipment and researching the location itself / weather etc.)
I normally shoot with one body and one prime lens only, preferably a 28mm lens. In terms of weather I try to avoid harsh sunlight, so I either go out later during that day or carry a flash for slight fill light. In the event of rain I would carry a ziplock bag to protect my camera. For all-day shoots I carry two or three different cameras, a set of lenses, several memory cards and a flash. Comfortable shoes are a must! TIP: use multiple smaller memory cards, instead of putting all of your eggs into one basket!
What sort of locations would you recommend for this type of photography?
New York City is historically the Mekka of street/urban photography, but any place in public is fair game. I personally love to shoot in busy areas and on the subway.
What are the main problems I can expect to encounter?
People got extremely wary of photographers in public after 9/11 and oftentimes would get very suspicious what you would do with their photograph. Officials like the police or public transportation personnel are also not informed about the do's and don'ts. Security personnel would almost all the time ask you not to photograph around their premises.
**I never ran into serious trouble, where I hear from other photographers, especially in Germany, the UK or France that they're constantly getting into trouble, but that may have to do with their carelessness or attitude.**
Where does a photographer stand in terms of the law, with this type of photography?
In the US it's perfectly legal to photograph anything in public, and one can use their photographs for artistic/personal purposes. For commercial work, model releases and property releases are required, but they're pretty much impossible to obtain with this type of candid photography.
In NYC it's against the law to photograph bridges or government buildings, tripods are not allowed without a permit either.
Lighting is a key factor in any successful photograph: are there any rules that you follow when considering the lighting for your shots?
I'm pretty limited with what the urban jungle has to offer, but would almost never shoot against the sun, unless I'm looking for some sort of flare effect. I love to find spots where sunlight gets bounced of buildings, acting as huge reflectors, especially in the morning or late in the afternoon.
What should I be looking for / working towards in terms of composition (generally)?
Avoid centered compositions like the plague, unless a photograph is asking for a very symmetrical composition. Generally many photographers would refer to the "rule of thirds" and I can say out of experience that this rule is off by far. I'd recommend the diagonal method, normally a pleasing photograph has some key elements falling along those lines.
reference: http://www.diagonalmethod.info/
What's the most inspiring location you've visited so far?
Coney Island being an icon with all the New York characters and old school attractions has been the most inspiring spot so far, unfortunately most of it gets torn down and replaced by condos and a mall.
How do you go about taking candid shots of people in the street?
When I walk the streets I'd watch out ahead of time for a subject, after a while it's possible to predict certain moves, but something can easily destroy the moment as well. in case of a possible shot, I frame quickly like I'm minding my own business and walk away. Sometimes I'd shoot walking by, framing from the hip – TIP: stay with one focal length for hip shooting to learn about framing w/o a viewfinder.
I always carry my camera with the strap wrapped around the palm of my hand and keep a constant eye on my shutter speed. I like to shoot faster than 1/250th of a second to avoid motion blur, unless desired. With the excellent metering systems of modern cameras I normally shoot in aperture priority mode (AV) along with exposure lock (AEL) in trickier lighting situations.
On most cameras I'd rely on the zone focusing method, ie. setting the focus of my lens manually to my working distance at around 6ft. (2m) and rely on depth-of field for subject sharpness.
Do you use any specialist tools to control your lighting? (Reflectors / diffusers / artificial lighting / flash etc)
as mentioned before, a flash with a diffuser is great for fill light
Your style of photography seems very distinctive, favouring B&W – how do you achieve this?
I used to achieve a certain look of my photographs with film. Tri-X, pushed to ISO 1600, developed in Diafine. I pretty much emulated this look with the excellent b/w conversion and curves in Photoshop CS3. Recently I'm using Lightroom for "quick and dirty" work prints and posts to flickr. On keepers I would work in Photoshop on a separate dodge/burn layer.
refernce: http://www.markushartel.com/tutorials/photoshop/nondestructive-dodgeburn.html
What attracts you to your subjects?
Mostly I'm interested in the human element in my photographs, I'm looking for the out-of-the ordinary within the ordinary – a funny element or a juxtaposition makes the picture even better.
Do you sell many of this type of image?
I have sold licenses to art buyers, publishers and got published in print and online. I'm selling prints every once in a while through my website and plan to add a shop when I find a moment.
I love the look of your "after dark" images – how can create my own night-time street shots, without camera shake or unsightly noise?
I shoot handheld at high ISOs and the widest aperture available on my lens, many of my night shots are taken at ISO 1600 or 3200 with apertures between f1.8 and f4.0 (the EOS 5D has a very low noise to signal ratio)
another approach to avoid noise or camera shake with small(er) sensor cameras would be the use of a monopod or tripod at lower ISOs with a longer exposure, keeping in mind that those long exposures will reveal motion blur.
How do you create your digital collages?
I sandwich multiple shots in Photoshop and use layer masks for the desired detail in a specified area.
Do you have any tips on how I can begin to make money from my street shots?
Frankly, I think street shots age over time and will get more popular the more aged they are, just like a good cheese or wine…
edit, edit, edit your shots – in case of any doubt, don't use it/publish it in any way
Promote your photos on your website/blog
sell a photo book on a self-publishing site like blurb/lulu etc.
Visit/solicit galleries to present your portfolio
Submit your photos to photo contests
If you could give someone just 5 tips on this type of photography, what would they be?
– carry a camera at all times
– get close
– lose your fear
– go out and shoot
– wear comfortable shoes 😉

"We're still not even approaching an honest debate about taxes in this country," Ryan Lizza says, in this week's Political Scene podcast. Referring to President Obama, who delivered a speech on Tuesday urging the Congress to pass the Buffett Rule—legislation that would increase the tax rate for people who earn over a million dollars, Lizza continues, "The Buffett Rule is not Obama's tax policy in a perfect world, it's Obama's tax policy when you run against a really rich guy like Mitt Romney." (Separately, John Cassidy has weighed in on the Buffett Rule as well.)
Really, much of American tax policy is dictated by such political concerns—the government spends much more than it has found politically feasible to take in. Says Lizza, "If you want to fund all of the stuff that Americans want to fund, you have to start talking about the middle class paying more taxes." James Surowiecki, who joins him on the podcast, along with host Dorothy Wickenden, adds:
The truth is that without dealing with health care and without, to some degree, increasing tax revenue—unless you do what Paul Ryan does, which is essentially to eliminate or slash much of what the government spends its money on—it is very hard to get to anything resembling a balanced budget or even a reasonably unbalanced budget.
This disconnect between rhetoric and policy is something we've seen from the Obama Administration before. Recently, Lizza wrote about why Christina Romer, the former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, objected to a line in the State of the Union Address ("Americans are making hard choices in their budgets. We've got to tighten our belts in Washington, as well"). Romer wanted the President to explain how the government would wisely use tax money; instead, she thought, the political language made the case against the more prudent economic policy—more stimulus.
Surowiecki concurs—on deficit reduction and, now, tax policy, the language that's perceived as politically appealing is misleading, even harmful. "I think it's really insidious," he says, "because it gets people to think about the problem in the wrong way."

Gambia – No single party can wrestle power from the ruling APRC party, the Inter-Party Committee on Opposition Unification in Gambia has said.
The committee's secretary Musa Sonko in a joint statement on Tuesday described as an illusion the assumption that one single party could remove APRC from power.
"Let there be no illusion the fact that no single opposition party in the country can defeat the APRC government due to the bad electoral laws and rules designed by the IEC to entrench and perpetuate the APRC rule," Sonko said.
According to him, the formation of the inter-party committee which comprises six opposition parties in Gambia is in response to the universal demand by the electorate and other realities.
He explained that, "Members and supporters of six opposition parties have decided to close ranks and fight together for the attainment of genuine electoral reforms and if necessary put up a single candidate against President Jammeh in order to effect change."
Sonko added that this round, relations between their respective opposition parties are based on mutual cooperation, trust, respect and understanding.
Gambia will go to the polls on December 1 to elect a new president and political sentiment has been yo-yoing in the tiny West African nation.
Removing Jammeh who is largely seen as a dictator will be difficult, according to some analysts.
The opposition in Gambia is notoriously fractious, and Yahya Jammeh will count on friendly electoral and judicial institutions to help him frustrate opposition plans with delaying and blocking tactics.

Those who make their living along the Gulf Coast were the first to be impacted by the massive and still growing oil spill there. But, as CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller reports, the ripple effect now extends throughout the country.
Matthew Lepetich owns the rights to oyster beds in the direct path of BP's renegade crude. His oysters need a few more months to mature.
But if the oil reaches them before he can harvest, Lepetich says he will lose $4,500 a day.
"It's a domino effect and it starts right here," Lepetich said.
Special Section: Gulf Coast Oil Disaster
Oil Spill by the Numbers
Lepetich sells oysters to suppliers in seven states, from the Gulf Coast all the way up to Maryland. While his customers anxiously await his harvest, one Oyster House in Mississippi has already laid off 60 workers because many Louisiana oyster beds are off limits.
"There is a lot of anxiety among our customers and their customers," said Cliff Hal, a seafood supplier in New Orleans.
Hal has already hiked prices. In the last week, his oysters are up by $10, from $37 to $47 a gallon. Gulf Coast fish rose a dollar a pound. And shell fish like shrimp and crabs are up by $6, from $24 per hundred to $30.
Restaurants as far away as New York City are feeling it. Head Chef Sandy Ingber doesn't even buy Gulf Coast seafood. Still prices at his restaurant, Oyster Bar in Grand Central, rose 10 percent.
While seafood prices are rising, back along the Gulf Coast, tourism is falling. The mere threat of oil is causing thousands of hotel cancellations.
The loss at her hotel is $100,000-$200,000 so far, not counting convention business, said Barbara Walters of the Island House Hotel on the Alabama Gulf Coast.
In the Florida panhandle, Memorial Day occupancy rates are usually 90 percent or higher. This year, reservations are off by 50 percent, and some have occupancy as low as 15-19 percent.
After two long years of recession, many business owners thought this would be a break out year. Instead, so far, it's looking like more of a bust.

The near-tip deformation field in a high-constraint three-point bend specimen of pure aluminium single crystal is studied using in situ electron back-scattered diffraction and optical metallography. The orientation considered has the notch lying on the (0 1 0) plane and the notch front along direction. Results clearly show the occurrence of a kink shear sector boundary at 90° to the notch line on the specimen free surface as predicted by the analytical model of Rice [J.R. Rice, Mech. Mater. 6 (1987) 317].

More D16.02 Standards Related Products Standard References
Significance and Use
5.1 The presence of 4-CBA and p-TOL in PTA used for the production of polyester is undesirable because they can slow down the polymerization process; and 4-CBA is also imparting coloration to the polymer due to thermal instability.
5.2 Determining the amount of 4-CBA and p-TOL remaining from the manufacture of PTA is often required. This test method is suitable for setting specifications and for use as an internal quality control where these products are produced or used.
5.3 This test method is intended as an alternative to the HPLC method for determination of 4-CBA and p-TOL in PTA. The major benefits of CE are speed, simplicity, reduced reagent consumption and operating costs.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde (4-CBA) and p-toluic acid (p-TOL) in purified terephthalic acid (PTA) by capillary electrophoresis (CE) with normal voltage mode and UV detection. It is applicable for 4-CBA from 5 to 400 mg/kg and for p-TOL from 10 to 400 mg/kg, respectively.
1.2 In determining the conformance of the test results using this method to applicable specifications, results shall be rounded off in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
