Beadsite is based in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK and run by myself, Hilary Milne. I started selling Greek ceramic beads around 2005 and have gradually chosen to specialise in them, slowly decreasing the Bali and Thai silver beads that I stock. The Greek ceramic beads I stock are consumer driven. In other words if there are colours or shapes you want me to stock, I will try to get some of them in for you if I think there will be a market for them as I often have to buy thousands at a time. I do absolutely everything myself - website, photography (modeling too if my arms are long enough!), stock taking, tax returns, Facebook page, Pinterest and an Etsy shop (www.beadsite.etsy.com).
When I am on holiday, either a friend helps out, or the online shop closes for a while, but usually if you phone, you will be speaking to me. I will not always be available to answer the phone, so generally email is the best way to contact me.
I sold my handmade jewellery online and around craft fairs in Scotland for many years, and found that the beads were taking over my life. If you have any jewellery making questions I will do my best to help you, and if I don't have what you need, I will be happy to point you to websites which might be able to help you.
I love the coloured ceramic discs as they are so versatile to use, not only in jewellery making, but also in sewing, knitting and decorative crafts. These beads have large holes which makes them very popular.
Greek Ceramic Metalicised beads
A clay bead is formed and fired in a kiln. A coating of copper is applied to the clay base, and the bead is fired again. Finally a third layer of metal is applied, such as gold, silver or more copper , and the beads are kiln fired for a final time. This fuses the metal to the bead and makes the coating hard-wearing. Many of the beads that I currently stock have large holes suitable for stringing on cord and leather thong. Naturally if they are placed next to an abrasive bead such as glass, some wearing will occur at the point of contact, but with normal use it is unlikely the coating will wear off next the skin unlike electroplated beads.
Over time they will dull and tarnish a little, so I advise keeping them in sealed bags until needed for use. No abrasive products should be used on them, but a polish with a soft silver cloth will restore the shine. please see the photo below which shows the same beads before and after a quick polish with a silver cloth.
The supplier is a Greek company based within the EU. Although the supplier states that the beads are made to EU regulations, the quality of these beads does vary between batches. These beads are sold by several online and "bricks and mortar" shops within the UK and the EU. Anyone who requires more specific information should contact me, before buying any beads.
I measure the beads with a micrometer to be as accurate as possible about their size. When the diameter is given it will be the width of the bead, not the size of the bead from hole to hole, as this is what matters for your design. Sizes will generally be correct plus or minus 0.5mm, but bathes do vary.
Karen Hill Tribe (Thai) Silver beads
The supplier is based in Thailand and states: "All of our silver used products are made of "high content" silver which ranges from 95% to 99% in silver purity. The only metal used with our silver is bronze which is mixed with silver as soldering solution."
Due to the high price of silver, I am reducing the amount of Thai beads that I stock.
Bali silver beads
Bali silver beads contain the same equivalent silver content to sterling silver. There are cheaper Bali-style beads available now from China and India, but the quality is very low. I will be offering the best quality I can find which comes direct from Bali.
The supplier is based in Bali and states:
Lampwork Glass beads (Not available at present)
I buy some of the world's finest handmade lampwork glass beads directly from individual bead designers across the world. To me, every one is a work of art and a minor miracle of the artists' skill and patience. The vast majority of lampwork bead makers are women who work from home, and who started making beads as a hobby until it became an obsession. The bead on the right is by UK based Judith Johnston, but I also buy from Canada, USA, Australia, and Germany.
When I have lampwork beads for sale they are "one of a kind", and cannot be repeated. I sell both individual focal beads and also sets of beads. I hope you will become as obsessed with the artistry of these beads as I am!
Polymer clay beads (Not available at present)
A true clay has fine particles of silicate suspended in water, whereas polymer clay has fine particles of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) suspended in plasticizer - but it can be used much like clay. The ones on the right were my very first attempt!
Beads made from polymer clay are baked in an oven then polished to a shine. The beads do not have designs painted on them but like millefiori are made up of canes of multiple colours. The skill needed to make these beads is every bit as involved as making lampwork glass beads.

Taboo Child
In Africa, disability doesn't stand up to tradition
« It is all about tradi-disability and social pressure to preserve the group's ethnicity.
All the children I took a picture of have been excluded because they bear this taboo, this difference own to their disability or twinship.
These children don't know who they are. There is no psychological monitoring. Big NGOs go to warring countries but forget developing countries… How can it be possible ?
Nothing allows us to think that any african population could be so powerless in the face of this problem. Traditions alone can decide for the fate of an illegitimate child, a unblessed child…So they are abandonned, and this is a real disaffection. »
Malik Nejmi
In Africa – and mainly in traditional backgrounds- a disabled child has little chance to survive. A malformation, a mental deficiency, and this is a sign that something is breaking.
It is difficult for us to hear a malian doctor saying that in some west-african ethnic groups, midwives get rid of disabled childs at birth. To understand the word « Ngoki », which means incomplete for Samburu and Masai ethnic groups in Kenya, is not an easy thing either. And what about this particular definition of death? When they are sacrificed, these babies don't truly die. The mother is told they have been sent back… To born again later on.
The exhibition is an installation of 130 photographies, polaroids and text together with a video.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, has dropped out of Surgeon General consideration reportedly to devote more time to his medical career.
Gupta, a former White House fellow and special advisor to Hillary Clinton, was reportedly approached by Obama staffers in November to discuss the Surgeon General position.
He removed himself from consideration "in order to continue devoting time to his medical career and of course his work at CNN," CNN U.S. President John Klein said Thursday.
U.S. & World
An administration said that Gupta, a Novi, Mich. native, had been under "serious consideration" but took himself out of the running because he wants to focus on his medical career and spend more time with his family.
"We know he will continue to serve and educate the public through his work with media and in the medical arena," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of nominations.
The official said there were no problems that would have disqualified Gupta, and it was his decision to withdraw.
The surgeon general is the nation's doctor, and while the job doesn't involve much policymaking responsibility, it's a bully pulpit for promoting public health. Gupta could have helped Obama pitch his health care reform plan.
Health reform leadership in the White House has been plagued with recent scandal as U.S. Rep Tom Daschle yanked himself as head of the department because of tax problems. Obama split Daschle's position into two - health secretary and health reform office director - which meant Gupta would have dealt with two different bosses, potentially affecting the doctor's decision to drop out.
This week, Obama named Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as his choice to lead the Health and Human Services Department.
Gupta would also have faced a drastic pay cut as Surgeon General, Fox News reported. The position yields a $153,000 salary, likely a huge drop from what Gupta makes from CNN and his medical practice.
The Atlanta-based doctor is the host of CNN shows "Vital Signs," "Paging Dr. Gupta" and "Accent Health." He reported internationally for the network from Iraq and Kuwait in 2003 and helped cover the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Gupta still performs surgeries at Emory University in Atlanta.

Good Morning and a very Happy New Year,
Samskara saksat karanat purvajati jnanam.
Through sustained focus and meditation on our patterns, habits, and conditioning, we gain knowledge and understanding of our past and how we can change the patterns that aren't serving us to live more freely and fully."
~ Yoga Sutra III.18
Everyday I look forward to the little surprises that show up in my inbox. Of course, certain surprises are better than others; like the one that appeared this morning. My intuitive self tells me that I must share this wisdom with our readers and friends.
I hope you find a little bit of magic in the following post from my dear friends at Eugene Yoga in Eugene, Oregon. One of the most beautiful and extraordinary places I know. Magic really does happen in this little heaven on earth.
Always love,
The Habit of Yoga
With the advent of a new year we often commit to breaking an old habit or creating a new one. I don't consider myself an expert at too many things but I can say with conviction that I am an expert at creating a bad habit. I expertly smoked cigarettes (more than a pack a day!) for over 23 years. I stopped the habit 17 years ago so maybe that even makes me an expert at ending a habit? With that experience behind me, I humbly offer three things I learned about letting go of a habit.
First, we can outwit ourselves. No one knows us better then we know ourselves. Find the strategy that cuts through favorite excuses. Set the environment up to succeed. Second, let there be only one out. Life is unpredictable to say the least. Something unexpected will arise and could be the impetus for falling off the wagon. If we only have one out, and it's a fairly outrageous scenario, chances are it will never come to pass. My excuse to have a cigarette was if I truly no longer minded dying of lung cancer, then I could smoke that cigarette. Next, cliché as it may sound, take it one day at a time, baby steps. Finally, understand that the habit serves a purpose. Usually our habit is a symptom, not the problem. Be willing to go deeper with self-discovery so that one negative habit is not replaced with another.
What does all this have to do with Yoga? Yoga is a wonderful option for replacing a habit that doesn't serve us. While there is a vast array of definitions when it comes to understanding Yoga, all interpretations include the concept of practice; which means there is a commitment to cultivating a habit through action. If we want more Yoga in our lives we practice. How our practice is expressed is as varied as the options for defining Yoga.
May you find your own unique way of creating a Yoga habit. ~ Eugene Yoga
Go All The Way With Gusto & Grace!

text: "Hey, why don't you stand over there and do your stupid dance. I'll record it." Matt did it, and he thought it looked pretty funny, so he kept on doing it everywhere he went…. He mostly just danced in front of iconic landmarks, but along the way he went to a country called Rwanda, and since there aren't any landmarks in Rwanda that you'd want to dance in front of, instead he just went to a small village and danced with a bunch of kids. The kids joined him immediately and without hesitation. That ended up being the best thing that happened to him on the trip. The kids taught him that people are a whole lot more interesting than old landmarks and monuments…. and in 2008 he put out another video that showed thousands of people laughing, smiling, and goofing around together. It took him five years and three tries, but he finally got it right that time.

Given that flights are typically the most expensive component of any trip, I thought I'd deal with this subject first. Airlines typically supply less costly fares for some destinations that are not regional hubs, Boyd mentioned. These flights generally have the lowest danger for delay or cancelation given that the plane and crew are currently at the airport. When searching for the best price tag, it really is extremely crucial for travelers not to book their flights also late or also early," says Jessica Casano-Antonellis, the spokesperson for on-line flight aggregator Kayak.
I'm convinced that 80% of travel hacking is just opening your mind to possibilities you did not know existed. The great point about split tickets is that they provide new flight alternatives, whether or not they offer you a cheaper fare or extra airline options, or merely spare you from a three-hour layover. Some have access to airlines and fares that other individuals never, and booking fees can differ significantly between them. When booking a plane ticket needed calling a travel agent, it was significantly less clear when there were sneaky ways to get less expensive fares. In 2010, Roberts gave a presentation about hacking planes and vehicles at the BSides security conference in Las Vegas. I logged in into yahoo messenger and I saw that the hacker had left me an offline message.
It is harder simply because they mainly will create about the newest offers, how to meet the minimum devote, or anything related to travel hacking. I have been hacking flights my complete life since I have not constantly had miles readily accessible to book my next flight. You get this deal with any airline on AMEX, but the good factor with the Delta / AMEX partnership is that you can transfer your points between the two programs. If you are browsing on a day with a tall spike I would consider waiting a week to see if the fares come back down.
You shouldn't want workarounds and hacks to acquiring the ideal rates, or even getting capable to know what flights are offered. With Kayak they let you evaluate to the massive guys like Orbitz, Expedia, , etc… but never overlook about the other websites like CheapOair, Airfarewatchdog, Skyscanner, and Google Flights. I hugely advise signing up for this card too but signing up for any points" card like the AMEX travel card or a Capital One particular card will do. Afterwards, you can transfer your sign-up bonus points to the airline you use and redeem them for flights. But if you know you are going to be heading out someplace and are capable to patience verify fares and offers every single when and awhile you can uncover some incredible swings in rates! Even though Kayak drew focus with its current introduction of Hacker Fares, the U.K.-primarily based Skyscanner has been offering a comparable service on its U.S. domain, , since its debut in 2009.
Kayak will not display Hacker Fares as two 1-way fares on the very same airline, and it also won't show Hacker Fares as connecting flights, Birge says. Just simply because two web sites compare flights from the same airline doesn't imply that the prices will be the very same! Save time, save money there is no want to visit site following internet site to discover cheap airline tickets or the ideal offers. I tend to fly Southwest, but was discovering the fares larger than usual – typically I can get anything in the $250-$300 range, I was seeing $350ish. A week later, fares climbed by an average of five %, and the week ahead of departure, fares were a whopping 30 percent from the lowest price. Kayak is just displaying you the cost you can accomplish by creating separate bookings on non connecting flights.…

There have been a couple of occasions where I have wanted to draft up a blog post but not been anywhere near my laptop. Luckily I've always had my ipad to hand in those situations! Using the blogger app I can easily whip up a draft post in no time, even when my ipad isn't connected to the internet which is a bit of a bonus! That being said I did find using the touch screen to type posts slightly annoying, so after having a little browse on-line I decided to purchase a Bluetooth keyboard from Ebay. It didn't cost much and I knew it wouldn't be something I would be using THAT often, but it's nice just have it there, for those blogging emergencies!
Now my keyboard looks a little more fancy, and I didnt need that much skill to do it! Those are the best kinds of DIY's arent they! You can get Washi tape from ebay fairly cheap. This seller has a few of my favourites.
Much love,

Monday! Cold! Cloudy! Windy! Typical Indiana winter day.
Well, there is no snow, but you can't have everything!
So the boss says "let's go out and get a bite to eat. You pick." I said, "Burger King." Love their fish sandwich! While waiting for our order (there is no fast food anymore) a friend said "hi!" Bill Monroe, a fellow resident on the reservation and great fisherman, was getting back in line to get some cookies for he and his wife. We talked a bit then our order was ready. Hadn't taken too long, the fish must have really been biting!
As we were eating our lunch, I noticed Bill Monroe getting up to leave. He put his coat on and then his hat. Did you get that? He put on his hat!. Yes, he had eaten his lunch with his hat off. His mother must have really taught him well or maybe his wife did the teaching. It doesn't matter who did it, but here was an older man, eating lunch at a fast food restaurant with his wife and he took off his hat! My compliments!A gentleman with outstanding manors!
Bill Monroe, thank you for reminding me that folks still have good manors.
Now, I was always a fan of the Sopranos (remember that show?), but I really became a die-hard fan during the episode when Tony (a real bad ass) was having dinner in a fairly nice restaurant with one of his "clients" when a young man and woman entered and set down and the young man left his hat on and started to look at the menu. Tony noticed and excused himself from his table and walked to the table of the afore-mentioned young man. Tony proceeded to tell the young man that he had two choices. One, take his hat off while eating his supper, or, two, Tony would remove it for him and in that process kick his ( the young man's) ass. Needless to say, the young man removed his hat. Tony became my hero forever!
His mother taught him well.

Vivo Set to Unveil Next Groundbreaking Sports Partnership, Joining the Ranks of Previous High-Profile Collaborations
MYX Philippines
Posted at
NBA All-Star Player and Vivo Global Ambassador Stephen Curry
MANILA, Philippines — Vivo, the world's fastest growing smartphone brand, is set to usher in a new era of sports and smartphone technology experience with its newest groundbreaking partnership.
The latest milestone collaboration, currently being kept under wraps with one of the world's foremost sports associations, is only the latest in a string of high-profile deals between Vivo and several global sports entities.
As one of today's leading smartphone developers in the world, Vivo continues to align and position its world-famous products and unique brand values with the equally dynamic ideals of athleticism and sport. By offering a high-powered lineup of stylish products with cutting-edge features, the tech leader proudly mirrors the fast, competitive, excellent, and energetic nature of athletic performance through its smartphones and the ever-changing lifestyle of its users.

Widely considered to be a strong champion of the sports industry, Vivo has been consistently teaming up with some of the biggest names in the scene for its global campaigns and partnerships – all in the span of two high-performing years.
In 2017, the mobile heavyweight debuted the V5 Plus – a perfect selfie smartphone endorsed by NBA All-Star Player Stephen Curry, its international ambassador. Sharing the brand's core values of energy, professionalism and pleasure, Curry lauded his partnership with Vivo and continues to inspire smartphone users worldwide to make the powerful switch.
In the Philippines, the mobile leader has been enjoying a dominant turn in two of the country's biggest university athletic association tournaments. As the official co-sponsor of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the brand's sporting presence continues to be felt by millions of avid multi-generational fans and viewers across the nation.
Competing basketball teams battling it out at the first-ever Vivo Hoop Battle Championship
This 2018, Vivo also introduced the first-ever Vivo Hoop Battle Championship in the country. A 3x3 basketball event, the competition brought together the biggest basketballs fans in a competitive sporting event that showcased skill, stamina, and grit. The two victors of the tournament represented the country in Guangzhou, China – playing against other competing groups for the ultimate Hoop Battle Champion title.
Aside from the show-stopping basketball matches, Vivo treated fans and users to exciting games and premium prizes
As one of the brand's high-profile partnerships to date, Vivo recently inked a deal with the FIFA World Cup to become the the world's biggest sporting event's official smartphone partner – both during its 2018 and 2022 tournaments. The deal, predicted to benefit both parties in bringing footballs fans closer than ever to the world-renowned sport, is a huge win for Vivo as it continues to inch closer to its vision of being one of the world's overall leaders in the global smartphone market.
Vivo's all-powerful smartphones and features were showcased in an interactive Vivo display booth
To match the intensity and anticipation that comes with all editions of the FIFA World Cup, Vivo launched a global campaign titled "My Time, My FIFA World Cup," a multi-platform campaign designed to empower football fans and Vivo users all over the world to go beyond the sidelines and straight into the heart of the action. Through its all-powerful and impressive product lineup, Vivo urged everyone to become their own participant and creator, transforming ordinary moments of the sport into special and memorable ones.
As the official smartphone partner of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, football fanatics and smartphone users all over the globe experienced a new and exciting way of sharing the joy of the sport through Vivo's smartphones.
Official Logo of Vivo Indian Premier League
Going beyond the popular sport of basketball and football, Vivo has also solidified its commitment in tying up with other competitive games. For the Vivo Indian Premier League, one of the world's richest cricket leagues, the mobile leader has retained the rights for a five-year deal with the Indian Premiere League to last until the year 2022.
These notable unions have been part and parcel of helping cement the smartphone giant's rapidly growing reputation as a leading proponent of sports and technology in the world. Through its newest major sporting partnership, set to be announced soon, fans and users can expect Vivo to deliver once again in bridging the gap and strengthening its association to the field of competitive sports.

Rating: NNNNN
ANDY BARKER, P.I. created by Conan O'Brien and Jonathan Groff, with Andy Richter, Tony Hale, Marshall Manesh and Harve Presnell. Thursdays at 9:30 pm on NBC, Sundays at 5:30 pm on CTV. Rating: NNN
Dressed in a white, short-sleeved shirt, Andy Richter resembles a living Dilbert cartoon.
Check out the amiable doughboy and former Conan sidekick in a sitcom that's got a laid-back 70s vibe.
Mixing bits of Barney Miller, The Rockford Files and Police Squad! with just a soupçon of Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, this gentle satire casts the former late-night couch potato as Andy Barker, an amiable accountant and accidental detective.
The strait-laced CPA-cum-P.I.'s equally clueless partners in crime-solving include movie-referencing video store clerk Simon (Arrested Development's twitchy Tony Hale), Afghan kebab salesman Wally (Marshall Manesh) and Lew Staziak (Harve Presnell), the retired detective whose office Barker has mistakenly claimed as his own.
It's Presnell (hard-assed here and in Dawson's Creek) who turns in the show's sharpest performance. His Staziak puts the dick in private dick; his solution to almost any problem is to pistol-whip it, prefereably in the privates making him the ideal foil for Richter's by-the-book, never-exceeds-the-speed-limit gumshoe.
And the cases Barker tackles during this six-episode trial run are well-mined for laughs. They often start out simply enough, like a genre-standard missing person case, before devolving into something utterly ridiculous involving a murderous chicken cartel.
One episode has Barker hilariously defusing a standoff with the Russian Mafia by using a talking Sandra Bullock doll, the most genuine performance Bullock's given since Speed.
And, of course, Barker does demonstrate some talent for connecting the dots crime-wise. Al Capone was brought down by the taxman, after all, so there is a precedent.
Unfortunately, there's little precedent for a successful Richter sitcom. Quintuplets, his follow-up series to Andy Richter Controls The Universe, lasted just four episodes. Even with Conan O'Brien on board here as co-creator, you have to wonder how many chances networks will take on Richter, who's more Campbell's Soup Kid than George Clooney (who appeared in many a failed TV series before ER).
If Andy Barker isn't a hit, will Richter rejoin O'Brien when Conan takes over The Tonight Show in 09? Or will he end up like another late-night sidekick, Ed McMahon, as a pathetic pitchman?
Lock-up lite
JUVIES created by Karen Grau and Bill Hussung. Fridays at 10 pm on MTV Canada. Rating: NNN
It seems American Idol's loss is MTV's gain. The first episode of Juvies, the new reality series about life inside an Indiana juvenile detention centre, features a towheaded doughhead named Sarah who aspires to audition for Paula, Randy and Simon.
Sarah's pop-star pipe dream was back-burnered when she was picked up as a runaway by the cops in Texas. Abandoned to the juvenile justice system by a mother who seems incapable of combing her own hair, Sarah spends her days in lock-up whining about missing her sister's birthday and singing tearful dirges. She actually sounds not half-bad (the acoustics in her cell are about as good as the average Ho-Jo's shower), and I kind of expected her to belt out Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.
Unlike most MTV fare focusing on Mommy and Daddy's little brats The Hills, My Super Sweet 16 Juvies focuses on... uh, Mommy and Daddy's little brats.
Of course, they're not all bad kids. Take Cordell, an honour student with a part-time job, aspirations of being a lawyer and a loving and supportive mother, who gets busted for stealing a car (it's likely he's being framed by a friend).
It's through his experience that we get the strongest sense of what goes on in juvie, from strip searches to unfriendly fellow inmates, whose offences range from underage drinking and drug possession to theft and assault. He even half-jokingly refers to the facility as being like Oz, the harsher-than-harsh series about life in maximum security.
Never mind that for the most part the inmates in juvie are treated with respect and there's little to fear from dropping the soap in the shower.

America And The Bible-Part 13
July 29, 2015
When we are worshipping together as brothers and sisters in Christ, there is just a little glimpse of heaven. Remember, you are only one and you cannot do everything but you can do something. Do not look around to see what other people are going to do. Don't look at your husband and don't look at your wife, simply say, "Though none go with me I am going to choose to follow God the rest of my life in the direction He leads me. I am going to walk the heavenly way. The Bible way." Choose this way for yourself, and remember God holds you accountable for your own life. What are you going to do with the life God has given you? How are you going to use your time, talents, and your treasures? Don't get caught up in this world's systems and its false allures.

As part of the Artists in Residency program, Diana and I worked with the local community. We all cooperated together to create a public sculpture near a well no longer in use. The artwork is located at a place where the community often gathers. I believe that this sculpture and the nearby well have made a beautiful metamorphosis together, representing new life that emerges from something that has come to an end.
Centro Selva is a Peruvian center promoting projects, studies, and training in the arts and sciences in the Central Amazon region. During this year's Artists in Residency Program at Centro Selva, participating artists from Argentina, England, Peru, Suriname, and the USA came together. In this program – which is ongoing – I have interacted with, and learned from, a community different from my own. Diana Riesco-Lind, one of the participating artists, is the president of this Peruvian non-profit organization. I have had the opportunity to work with her and the people of Manco Capac, a small village in Ucayali, Peru. The people there earn their livings mostly by agriculture and farming. The name 'Manco Capac' comes from a myth about the first Inca king, who taught agriculture to the people. Together, Centro Selva and I have made an impact in this small community.
When I applied for the Artists in Residency Program, my idea was to work on the themes of life, specifically death and re-birth. While interacting with the Manco Capac community and working with Diana, changes were made to my original concept. Two meetings with the people of Manco Capac – during which a creative process took place – led us to adjust my first concept. The resulting project was a pyramid-like structure decorated with elements the community members suggested. While the original idea was to create a closed pyramid, the final product was instead a group of three triangles that made an open pyramid. This shows more optimism, I thought. I remember telling Diana: "It is like the opening of a flower." To the community, the sculpture emphasized pride and prosperity. I wondered: Could this be seen as a translation of life, death, and re-birth? Regardless, the people in Manco Capac identified themselves in the proposed artwork. When it is finished, it will be an object that captures what the community loves and how they think about their village. It will be a piece of art that stands out to every passerby.
For this residency program, there are a total of seven artists living on a farm in Ucayali. At the start of this year's program at Centro Selva, we were taken on a walk: a sightseeing journey through the city. We also stayed one night in the village of the Shipibo community, where we worked with their children. The Shipibo are an indigenous group living along the Amazon in Peru. One of the things for which they are known is the deliberate deforming of their skulls. They used to do this to the skulls of their newborn children for aesthetic purposes, as they believed it helped distinguish them from the ape. Learning about this practice caused me to ponder this tradition and contemplate the human mind and evolution. "What influence might this technique have had on the brain of the Shipibo people over time?" I asked myself. Using this dying tradition as an inspiration for my work as an artist could be of great value, as it may help me think about technology in a new way.
This residency program has been different from any program in which I had previously participated. During a six-week Artists in Residency program in Puebla, Mexico, I was also with an international group of artists and art historians. The difference between that program and the one I am currently attending is that the former program focused on process: learning through art workshops; attending art history seminars; weekly readings; and weekly critique groups. Centro Selva's residency, however, focuses on creating art products inspired by the Amazon.

Yeah thanks for that mate, I was faster on softs than your older tyres. Was still trying to find a race and enjoyed it despite the low finishing position.Wow finally i brought my car home.
My Qualy was supposed be slow to avoid any collisions in Lap 1 which happened alot even on the straight right in front of me.
P2 after a quite lonely but very challenging race because of the 1 stop.
Perfectly tyre management brought me there.
I even let the backmarker on P17 @Jay pass me to avoid any collision and keep on driving my yellow car home.
Will get a 5 sec penalty removal after all which i got from "blue flags" after my stop.
Hope you all enjoyed this race as much as i did.
where did i finish just out of curiosity?Man, that was a disaster, decent start, up to 4th, staying with @MAGNUSSEN ahead but having to fend off @Smu3l3y behind, who eventually overtook me. Nothing too eventful, ran extra wide at T1 to make sure I didn't get anywhere near touching MAG again.
Went rather downhill from there, came out of the pits on mediums, into some traffic, memory's a bit hazy on this part, was making some progress but not as much as I would have liked, ended up right behind MAG once again though. Around lap 10 or so, we come up to @azazelon who makes a little mistake going up the hill out of the esses, and MAG gets through. I attempt to follow, but this combined with azazelon trying to regain control means that our wheels touch and I go into a spin. No damage at this point though.
Lose about 4 places, stay with them and start to make one or two up, but others on newer tyres coming up behind as well. Struggling to get a good enough exit to overtake on the straights but getting really held up in the slower sections. Eventually, I catch back up to Azazelon again, with the rest of the group, and this time I get caught out by the slower apex speed, and tap the back of him, not too hard, but I manage to pick up a red front left endplate for it. This happens on around lap 12-13 and so I can't pull off a two stop anymore, have to go into the pits for repairs. But before I can even do so, me and smu3l3y's cars seem to magnetise towards each other and we both go spinning off, only a couple of corners later. After recovering from this I make it back to the pits.
I went back onto softs, put some decent but not amazing laptimes in, passing cars here and there, but they go off quickly and I'm back into the pits on lap 19 for mediums, very touch and go as to whether they would last but I decided to go for it, and pass some people I wasn't expecting to through the pit-stops. MAG, who was one of them, is on softs and after a couple of laps goes flying past me, and lo and behold by the end of the race I'm back on the gearbox of azazelon once more. With only a couple of laps left, and by the end of the race over 80% wear on my front left, I can't get the move done, but the fact that I had 9 seconds of penalties meant it didn't matter anyway.
End of the race I was 12th, penalties added, but 11th if you take Kevvie out of the equation.
tl;dr Very sloppy race on my part, and couldn't find my way past other cars well enough throughout. No points is a real annoyance.
Yeah on your screen you looked to have the move done. On mine, you came straight across my front wing, it was a heavy contact. If I can recover my corrupt file, I'll upload.
To be fair, it looks like a racing incident to me. Don't know if I'd have reacted differently given the view ahead.

What: Community Meeting to discuss Lamar and Burnet Transportation Studies
Why: Because the City has a bad track record of burying these studies. We want the study to be taken seriously, we want the City to actually read the recommendations, and we want bond money to support the needed improvements.
Where:The meeting is 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the Village Christian Apartments Activity Room, 7925 Rockwood Ln just north of Anderson. Directions here at http://www.snaustin.org/meeting-directions.
Something to Think About: The City's inability to see past downtown's needs has already created an Austin where gridlock, long commutes, and wasted gas are accepted as part of our daily lives. Now the City has been handed five studies of critical roads systems and recommendations on how to logistically think about the future.
The North Lamar/Burnet study shows there are numerous and serious problems with the transporation corridors at the north end of the City:
* North Austin/North Central Austin is Austin's biggest, most diverse community, and includes Austin's 2nd and 4th biggest zipcodes.
*North and North Central Austin is the area where several major transportation corridors run together, including 3 highways. It has several Metro Rails, and two of the busiest Capital Metro lines.
*North and North Central Austin is also an area that includes several of Austin's rare and precious West/East corridors.
Can you do the math? We believe the the City's myopic vision for 'solving' Austin's transportations issues has ceased to just be our community's problem. North Austin/North Central Austin holds the potential for much needed tax revenue and growth - but our City leaders apparently never learned math in school. Currently 60% of the City's revenue comes from downtown - and the City consistantly struggles to meet budget each year and has to constantly juggle budget cuts across multiple departments.
Spending 100% of your budget for a 60% return makes no sense - and its costing the rest of us a better future.

Employment contract law is the body of law related to agreements made between employers and employees. Written, oral, or implied contracts often give rise to disputes in an employment relationship, and in some cases the end result is wrongful termination. There are several types of employment contracts, including non-compete agreements, waiver of rights agreements, and severance agreements. An at-will employee is a worker who is offered no employee contract who or is offered a contract but can be terminated at any time. Employment workplace issues pertaining to at-will employees or employees under long-term contracts are often beyond the scope of employment contract law.
Employees often hire attorneys to review a contract of employment to avoid legal pitfalls and to ensure that their rights are protected and that the contracts are in their best interests. For example, an employee may have waived his rights to trial in the contract and must go to arbitration where a panel of judges decides the issues. Attorneys representing both sides of an employment contract law dispute often have to litigate on breach of contract matters, but some employment contracts call for alternative dispute resolution methods in lieu of litigation. Non-compete agreements are also significant for employees and employment contract law, because in those agreements employees often agree not to work for existing or future competitors for a specified length of time. Once a non-compete agreement is signed, courts often enforce it unless it's shown to be too restrictive under regional employment contract laws.
Employers often use attorneys to ensure that the contracts they offer are in compliance with national and regional regulations and laws, such as anti-discrimination laws. They often use employment contract law as a way to protect their business. For example, a non-compete agreement may include a restriction on the employee to solicit the employer's customers for a period of time after the employment is terminated. The rationale is that if there is no such restrictive covenant, employees could steal customers away and cause the company to suffer losses. Waiver of rights agreements are often contained in severance agreements to shield employers from future lawsuits from employees after paying them additional monies upon termination.
Employment contract law also includes independent contractor matters. Some employers run the risk of an independent contractor being classified as an employee for tax purposes. Disputes may arise between employers and government tax agencies concerning the independent contract, as well as whether the employer's actions contradict the contractor status.

Companies in the health care industry face many unique challenges when undergoing a bankruptcy, including challenges arising due to the federal and state law framework governing the use and disclosure of medical information. In February 2018, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced that it had reached a settlement with the receiver appointed to liquidate the assets of Filefax Inc., a medical record storage and transportation company, resolving claims against Filefax for potential violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. The HHS investigation, which commenced in 2015, indicated that Filefax impermissibly disclosed the protected health information, or PHI, of 2,150 individuals by leaving the PHI in an unlocked truck in the Filefax parking lot, or by granting permission to an unauthorized person to remove the PHI from Filefax and leaving the PHI outside the Filefax facility for collection in an unsecured manner. During the investigation, Filefax stopped operating and was involuntarily dissolved. As part of the settlement, the receiver agreed to pay $100,000 out of the receivership estate and to properly store and dispose of the remaining medical records in compliance with HIPAA.

Gluten Free Chicken Rice a Roni Dinner
My favourite idea from Bette Hagman's books (and I got lots) was Rice a Roni. It was one of the things I missed the most when we went gluten free. This recipe, with her suggestion, is identical to the one I made with gluten. It's a great week night dinner, as it's fast, healthy and in one pot.
bay leaves, black pepper, butter, carrot, celery, chicken, chicken broth, pasta, rice, olive oil, onions, poultry seasoning, sea salt, spinach, zucchini

Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2010
By Patrick Mooney
ST. LOUIS The Cubs have used three managers to put eight different players in the leadoff spot this season. Before heading off into retirement, Lou Piniella mentioned that a presence at the top of the order is one piece the organization needs to identify in the future.
The daily questions about the lineup wore on Piniella, who was even asked if he thought about moving Alfonso Soriano back up to leadoff as the Cubs struggled to score runs this season.
Only one player in the National League woke up Wednesday morning with more than 33 stolen bases. There was Houstons Michael Bourn atop the leader board with 50.
Twenty-five years ago at the old Busch Stadium in St. Louis, that would essentially amount to a first half of the season for Vince Coleman, who led the league with 110 in 1985.
The game goes in cycles and it has phased out players like Juan Pierre. If the Cubs are stretching to find one, then they are in line with the rest of the industry.
When Mike Quade took over the team on Aug. 23, he looked at the numbers, saw Blake DeWitts on-base percentage (.360) and put him at the top of the order. It wasnt a permanent move because Quade plays matchups.
Jeff Bakers .346 average (47-for-136) against left-handers means he will hit there as well. It is a narrow window into a managers mix-and-match philosophy.
Qs not afraid to think outside the box, Baker said. I dont have the prototypical leadoff speed, but at the same time, Im going to try to make an aggressive base-running move and (get on base) against those lefties.
Bakers gone 11-for-24 (.458) in the six games hes hit leadoff since Aug. 29. At the age of 29, he doesnt want to be thought of as a platoon player. He can be used at three infield positions as well as play the outfield, which would make him a useful piece for the 2011 roster, though not a long-term answer at leadoff.
Versatility it can be a blessing and it can be a curse, Baker said. Id like to play every day somewhere. (When) an opportunity comes (and) youre in the position I am, you got to make the most of it.
Darwin Barney is 24 and approaching the same crossroads in his career. Hes worked at second base, subbed for Aramis Ramirez at third and started at shortstop on Wednesday night in St. Louis as Starlin Castro rested a bruised hip.
Even Barney has found himself at leadoff for two of the 21 games hes appeared in since his promotion Aug. 12. The rookie entered Wednesday hitting .406 (13-for-22) in his last 11 games. His defensive instincts are a given. If he produces offensively, maybe he could be more than a utility infielder. Thats what the Cubs are trying to find out.
You never want to put a cap on anybody, Quade said. Hes a bright kid that brings some intangibles.
Barney won a state championship in high school, a gold medal at the World University Games and back-to-back College World Series titles at Oregon State University. He was a fourth-round pick in the 2007 draft, one of several homegrown players currently filling the roster.
Im just trying to find my place on this team, Barney said. I dont know what the teams trying to do when they move forward. Were winning games right now. (Were) working on getting better and us young guys (have) to.
Everyone is waiting on answers as the Cubs try to rebuild for 2011. Baker entered spring training competing against Mike Fontenot at second base, a job that went to Ryan Theriot when Castro made his big-league debut in May. Fontenot and Theriot were traded away this summer, leaving openings at second and leadoff. It will be an interesting offseason.
Sometimes when you want something so bad, (you) try to do a little too much and you find yourself back in that utility role, Baker said. (But) Im at the point now where Ive been around long enough to know that as long (as) you have a functional job youre not just kind of buried somewhere you got a chance to help the team win.

A Review of "The Craftsman's Symbology" Book One, Selected Symbols of the First Degree.
Written by Brother Anthony Mongelli Jr.
Reviewed by Brother Shawn M. Gorley
As a Freemason that takes very seriously our obligations to always improve upon ourselves, I in the last few years have had the wonderful opportunity to review and edit a whole lot of books related to Freemasonry. I believe one of the greatest ways a man can improve himself is through the written word. While I can't take any credit on editing the first book in the series "The Craftsman's' Symbology" by Brother Anthony Mongelli, he did very graciously ask me to review it for him, which for me was an absolute honor! Brother Mongelli has established himself as not only a driving force for furthering Masonic education but he is also a gifted writer as well. I have always enjoyed reading his various articles as well as his blog, so for me it was a no brainer, of course I wanted to read and review his first book.
In my book reviews I try not to compare one book to another as the review should be about the book at hand, however in this case I strongly feel that it is important to ignore this in order to drive home just how important to Freemasonry Mongelli's book really has the potential to be. Many newly raised Brothers have either been given or read "The Craft and its Symbols"[1] by Allen Roberts and this book has been a great starter to enlighten a Brother on the various symbols and their relation to the Craft, it is a timeless classic. Now, why I have mentioned this is because after reading the first book in the "Craftsman's Symbology" series by Brother Mongelli, I honestly feel that upon completion of the series of nine books he intends to write; three per degree focusing on the relevant symbols, he will have also written timeless classics pertinent to the education of Freemasons everywhere and will be more in depth studies of the symbolism of the three craft degrees than the above mentioned work by Allen Roberts. This series of books will live on long after any of us will, and I am not the least bit hesitant to say that Anthony Mongelli, with this series of books, is going to be on the list of the great Masonic writers that Freemasonry has produced and because of his work generations of Freemasons will gain a deeper understanding of the complex topic of symbolism in relation to the craft of Freemasonry.
In this the first book Mongelli focuses on three of the symbols from the entered apprentice degree, the circumpunct or point within a circle, the apron and the pillars. Now, we have all learned a thing or two about these symbols, but my guess is that the average Brother has learned the 'exoteric' definitions; as in definitions anyone could find anywhere without much effort. In this book the author has gone to great lengths to provide the more 'esoteric' explanations, and as he has pointed out in his book, symbology is a tricky topic in the sense that most if not all symbols have more than one meaning or translation and multiple uses throughout history. In discussing and sharing with the reader the various symbols, the one thing I and am certain many other readers will appreciate is the meticulous footnotes and source lists that the author has included in this work so that it can more easily enable the reader to venture off into their own journey of discovering the meanings and translations and history of the various symbols. I found the information in this first book, in my opinion to be one of the most exhaustive treatments of the three symbols covered that I have had the pleasure to endure, the book will without doubt open the reader up and into a whole new 'light' when it comes to viewing these symbols along his Masonic journey. Another notable thing that I liked is that Mongelli included an expanded and revised version of the essay "Some Words to Newly Made Masons". I have always loved this particular essay and including it in his book was an ingenious idea because it feels as you're reading it that it is your grandfather of some other older wiser Brother speaking directly to you.
To sum up my opinions on this book, I cannot recommend it enough that each and every Mason can and will gain useful knowledge from this work, not merely newly made Brethren but older and more learned will as well. My hat goes off to Brother Anthony Mongelli for his valiant efforts and meticulous dedication and hard work in producing this highly informative book. The gentle craft and brotherhood of Freemasonry is without a doubt going to be better as a result of it! I very much look forward to his upcoming books in the series so that I may further my own Masonic education, as I am sure many other Brethren will as well.
