The Space in Between: Daniel Feldman, Stefanie Klavens, and Lynn Saville
The Space in Between features artwork that focuses on societal built environments in urban settings. The images capture supposedly empty or vacant scenes in public spaces where humans are present without being pictured and the very absence of human subjects forces the viewer to contemplate the space in between these human-made structures. While firmly rooted in the 21st century, these photographs also portray a timeless feel, as if the artists froze the frame at the initial moment of abandonment, preserving a particular constructed expression of culture for generations to come.

Quote:Criminals take note; You're taking a chance if you try to ply your trade in the Dodge County town of Rhine. Local law enforcement is praising townspeople for some de facto community policing, after tracking down and helping catch an armed robbery suspect.
For 60-year-old Ken Lowery the commotion began around 2:30 Thursday afternoon as he stepped inside Aden's convenience store and encountered the store clerk in distress.
"The lady screamed at me and said 'I've been robbed, he's got a gun, and I gave him all the money,'" Lowery recalled.
Lowery says he saw the suspected gunman, identified as 24-year-old Damien Durham of Wilcox County, walking down the street making a nonchalant getaway. Witnesses say it was a bizarre sight, but what happened next was even more unbelievable.
"People just kept coming around and they were mad, people in Rhine were mad," Lowery said. "Here we had an armed robbery in the middle of the day at Aden's and they wanted to form a posse."
Lowery says more than 20 people, many of them armed, spread out looking for the gunman, in trucks and on foot.
It's the "BILL OF RIGHTS" not the bill of "needs"

The Worship Service at Hessel Park Church
Worship at Hessel Park Church calls for active participation of all involved. The involvement of the congregation in the planning and conducting of our worship services is essential, so that we may share with each other the gifts that God has given us. This document sets forth our vision for worship at Hessel Park Church, and is intended to serve as a guide for our immediate future. This document reflects the thinking of the church council and the feedback of the congregation, and is open to further refinement and discussion.
There are three general areas where there are differing perspectives or needs within our congregation:
- Music--classical music and traditional hymnody on one end of the spectrum and contemporary music on the other
- Liturgy--fixed forms and practices that are regularly repeated on one end of the spectrum and varied practices with some spontaneity on the other
- Heart and Mind--a pronounced focus on intellectual aspects of the Christian faith and life and a balancing concern for the emotional aspects of Christian faith and life.
For congregational singing, our services have been making use of both hymns and contemporary songs, drawing from the strengths of both. A typical service has about seven songs, often with 1-3 contemporary songs along with 4-6 hymns. This blend retains hymns with their extensive content, their theological reflection, their poetry and rich language, and often their familiarity. This blend also adds the strengths of contemporary music: captivating melodies, a sound that captures and expresses more emotion, lyrics which sear into the memory important biblical verses or phrases, and often greater instrumental diversity. It is our belief that this blend offers a broad and attractive embrace, and we expect to continue using this proportion.
In addition to the selection of music, we have also considered instrumentation. In the past, we have used a worship team for some services, only piano accompaniment for others. Our current thinking is that we will use a variety of instruments for accompaniment: piano, guitar, woodwinds, brass, percussion, but not a worship team. The variety we desire is limited by the availability of volunteers who can commit the necessary time, by the particular musical talents in our ever-changing congregation, and by the rate at which we can build the repertoire of songs that the congregation knows. We expect that a typical service might have a blend of piano-led congregational singing, congregational singing with other accompaniment, and occasional vocal and instrumental solos and ensembles.
Finally, we value the thematic integration of the music with the rest of the worship service. We feel this is an important aspect of the service, and accommodates both hymns and contemporary songs. Most importantly, the musical component must always serve our highest value for our services: a meaningful worship encounter with God.[Back to top]
In the area of liturgy, our services are a blend of fixed forms and practices, on the one hand, and a modest level of spontaneity and variety, on the other. We utilize a fixed outline for our service (Gathering, the Word, Response of Thanksgiving, and Closing), fixed creeds and confessions, fixed expressions of God's law, a fixed response to the reading of God's Word, a fixed set of communion liturgies, and a fixed sequence of lectionary readings.
At the same time, our services feature creative variety. We don't sing exactly the same number of songs in the Gathering subsection. We vary how and when the confession and assurance component of the service is developed. We vary having the pastor or a lay person lead the congregational prayer. Occasionally we add a personal testimony in the service. And we sometimes open the floor to prayer requests as a part of the congregational prayer.
Some people respond to carefully prepared forms and liturgies, because they value the richness, beauty, and balance that careful preparation affords. They value understanding how and why they were developed. Others find that fixed forms can become stale and perfunctory, and they value variety as a way to make worship new and fresh.
Our vision for worship is not a spur-of-the-moment, extemporaneous style. Rather, our goal is to maintain a thoughtful and intentional "fixed-varied" blend in our liturgy.[Back to top]
Heart and Mind
In the area of ministering to the mind and heart, we have sought to gear our services not only to the mind but also to the heart. While our approach is largely oriented to the cognitive, we incorporate emotional elements in some songs, somewhat in preaching, and occasionally in a testimony or prayer. Our commitment to this blend led several years ago to the selection of a motto for Hessel Park Church: "Nourishing heart and mind for Christ's glory and service."
While this blend is accomplished partly through the selection of music, it is our conviction that preaching also must reach both mind and heart. An effective sermon conveys content, teaching, and reflection in ministering to the mind; and it ministers the truth of the Gospel to the heart with conviction of sin, comfort, encouragement, and challenge to greater obedience and Kingdom service. Because God created us as creatures capable of emotions and rational thinking, most people need a worship service that nourishes both heart and mind.
Given the academic environment of Hessel Park Church, along with our Reformed Christian heritage, our strength or accent will be offering solid truth and substantive content to inform our worship of God. For these same reasons, we do not have any future in tilting toward a superficially emotional service. Yet we must not ignore the emotional aspect of worship, as this would leave many people unfulfilled.
Sermons at Hessel Park assume an intelligent, thoughtful, educated listener, though sermons are not pitched primarily to academics. A preacher must open up the great truths of God's Word in a way that is generally understandable to the whole congregation. (For example, we avoid frequent use of vocabulary that might exclude such worshippers in our congregation as teens and internationals.)
Two extremes we strive to avoid are preaching that looks first to find something novel or new in a text, with little regard for its significance; and preaching that engages only the emotions at the expense of substance. While thoughtful preaching often will uncover fresh insights and touch one's emotions, the purpose of preaching is to bring the old redemptive story to bear with fresh relevance.[Back to top]

Libertad Lamarque Bouza, a singer and actress whose career ranged from the gritty days of early tango recordings in Argentina to the contemporary daily soap operas produced for mass audiences in the Spanish-speaking world, died on Dec. 12 in Mexico City. She was 92.
Ms. Lamarque gained renown after leaving Argentina for Mexico in 1946, following an incident on the Buenos Aires set of the 1944 movie ''The Circus Procession.'' She was said to have quarreled with a young actress named Eva Duarte.
The next year Duarte married Col. Juan Domingo Peron, and in 1946, Peron became president of Argentina. Exercising her power as first lady, Eva Duarte Peron effectively prevented any studio in Argentina from hiring Ms. Lamarque.
After she moved to Mexico City in the 1940's, during the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, Ms. Lamarque's career blossomed. She acted in the first film that the Spanish director Luis Bunuel made in Mexico, ''The Great Casino,'' and appeared in some 60 other films.
''Strangely, even with a strong Argentine accent that never quite went away, she became the darling of Mexican cinema,'' said Carl Mora, an expert on Latin American film at the University of New Mexico. ''Her magnetic presence made for quite a life trajectory.''Continue reading the main story
It was in Rosario, the provincial Argentine city where Ms. Lamarque was born, that she began her artistic career. Her father was Gaudencio Lamarque, a Uruguayan descendant of French immigrants and a militant anarchist. Because he was imprisoned at the time of her birth, his daughter was named Libertad, or Liberty. Together with six half-brothers and -sisters, she began acting as a child in plays inspired by anarchist ideas.
In 1926, when Ms. Lamarque turned 18, her family moved to Buenos Aires. She soon found work singing in comedy shows. Then a music studio hired her to record tango songs, and she began to attract attention. Ms. Lamarque also started acting, making her debut in the 1929 silent film ''Adios, Argentina,'' which was made by the Italian director Mario Parpagnoli in a single day. In 1932 she starred in ''Tango,'' Argentina's first sound film.
Ms. Lamarque's first marriage, to Emilio Romero, who worked as a prompter in the theater, turned sour shortly after they exchanged vows in 1928. Still, because divorce was illegal at the time in Argentina, it took Ms. Lamarque 12 years to become legally separated from him.
In 1935 she was reported to have attempted suicide while on tour in Chile. That same year her husband took their daughter, Mirtha, with him to live in neighboring Uruguay. After an effort involving a lawyer and several friends, including Hector Artola, her new romantic partner and future husband, Ms. Lamarque succeeded in gaining custody of her daughter.
While in Argentina, Ms. Lamarque acted in more than 20 movies, including ''Honeysuckle,'' ''When I Return to Your Side'' and ''In This Gray Afternoon.'' But it was in Mexico that she took her place as a leading figure in Latin American cinema, and later in the melodramatic world of daily telenovelas, or soap operas. In later years she divided her time between Mexico City and Miami, but refused to retire.
Earlier this year the Mexican Academy of Cinema Arts and Sciences awarded her a lifetime achievement award. At the time of her death she was playing a Mother Superior in ''Angelface,'' a popular telenovela.
Ms. Lamarque is survived by her daughter, Mirtha Romero Lamarque, of Argentina.Continue reading the main story

LOOKING BACK: We Can't Believe It's Not Potter!
Once the Main Events room converts to dance party mode and the little ones are in bed, the panel rooms kick off a new round of fun! After-hours panels at Onezumi Events cons consist of everything from game shows to live podcast recordings. And for Harry Potter fans who like a laugh, Tangent Artists had just the thing.
"I Can't Believe It's Not Potter!" was PotterVerse's version of a British-style panel show, hosted by Dave Seidman-Joria and paneled by Monica Marier and Kara Dennison. The pair's knowledge of J.K. Rowling's work would not come in handy here at all, though… as the questions were all about knock-off books from around the world.
Seriously, there was no way for anyone to know that there was a book in which the Dursleys were aghast because Dudley had started dating a belly dancer, or that Hogwarts' biggest threat in Harry Potter and the Filler of Big was the student body turning into wooden stools.
The panel included dramatic readings of select passages. And in case you're worried about fanfic being made fun of, rest easy: no fanfiction written by humans was mocked during this panel.
Fanfiction by computers, however? Well, that was a field day.
The evening closed out with samples of fanfic titles and summaries created via word-level recurrent network, courtesy of research scientist Janelle Shane. We're personally a big fan of the one where Harry is a wizard, a wizard, a wizard, and a son.
Want to experience fun panels like these? Register for PotterVerse 2 now! Our event brings major guests, wizard parties, and fan programming into a format sized especially for families and con-goers who like a more personal experience.
And if you're also a Doctor Who fan, be sure to join us for (Re)Generation Who next month! Our sister event is welcoming Doctors Peter Capaldi, Peter Davison, and Colin Baker, as well as actors and creators from all across the Whoniverse. Tickets are selling fast, so join us while you can!

Polinox Invests Further into the Brazilian Composites Market
23 February 2016
23 February 2016
Polinox surprised the Brazilian composites market last year by expanding the production capacity of its plant located in Itupeva, Brazil to 360 tons/month, despite the Brazilian demand for composites plummeting in the same period.
According to the Latin American Composite Materials Association (ALMACO), there was a sharp drop of 21.2%. Far from the cliché 'crisis is an opportunity' common in corporate self-help books, the path taken by Polinox is solely based on the finding that the per capita consumption of composites in Brazil, of less than 2 kg, is miles away from the numbers reported abroad: 8 kg in the US, 5 kg in Europe and 4 kg in Asia.
"The current scenario is obviously very difficult, the country is facing one of its worst crises and we must review all expenditures, really fasten our seatbelts. But we cannot forget the comparison of per capita consumption. In addition to this instability, there is a huge shortage in the country in industries where composites are arguably the best alternatives, such as popular housing, public transportation and basic sanitation," said Roberto Pontifex, Director of Polinox.
According to the Ministry of Cities, to eliminate the housing deficit, Brazil needs nothing less than seven million houses, and composites have already been approved by government agencies for the construction of popular housing units. With 86% of its population of 204 million people living in cities and needing to commute – one out of four Brazilians takes the bus on a daily basis, according to the National Confederation of Industries (CNI) – the country needs US$ 60 billion in investments for the implementation of 343 mobility projects (data from the National Confederation of Transport – CNT). In addition, the fleet circulating in the Brazilian streets is old. Approximately 400,000 buses, for example, have an average age of 8 years and 8 months, according to the National Association of Auto Parts Manufacturers (Sindipeças).
With regard to sanitation, 59.4% of Brazilians are served with proper water supply services and only 39.7% have access to the sanitary sewage system, according to the National Plan for Basic Sanitation. In other words, there is a low access to piped water and (extremely) low access to the sewage collection system.
"In parallel, wind power generation is experiencing a period of strong expansion in Brazil, boosting the sales of both polyester and epoxy resin-based composites," said Pontifex. In 2015, wind power accounted for 5.5% (7.7 GW) of the Brazilian energy matrix and, according to estimates of the Brazilian Wind Energy Association (ABEEólica), it should reach 11.3% (22 GW) in 2023.
Pontifex also highlights other applications with huge potential for the composites industry, such as light poles – much lighter than concrete, are ideal for regions that can only be accessed by river transport, like many cities in the Amazon – and boats. In this case, despite the huge coastline and hundreds of navigable rivers, Brazil manufactures only 5,000 boats a year – in the US, for example, the average is 250,000.
For these reasons, Polinox continues to invest in the Brazilian composites market. There will be thousands of opportunities for those who are prepared to meet this huge repressed demand. We just need a small improvement in the economic situation of the country, with a better balance on the political scenario, although this may be far from happening in 2016," concludes Pontifex.

Gazprom may exit domestic Turkish natural gas market
Gazprombank is completing the withdrawal from Promak, a company which owns a 60 percent stake in the two importers of Russian gas to Turkey - Enerco and Avrasya, the newspaper writes.
Gazprom Deputy Chairman Aleksandr Medvedev said the company plans to sell another Turkish asset - Bosphorus Gaz.
According to Medvedev, the Turkish market is "unpredictable" and loses appeal due to the weakening of the lira and regulated tariffs. Kommersant's sources in the industry said Bosphorus lost about €100 million in 2016.
Gazprom owns 71 percent of Bosphorus Gaz. The company will sell its share to the local Sen Group, which owns the remaining 29 percent, the newspaper says.
Leaving the market may strengthen Gazprom's negotiating position in export prices, as the company will no longer have a direct interest in maintaining the profitability of the sales business within Turkey, experts say. Gazprom has been suing Turkish state corporation Botas and private companies in a price dispute.
However, no final decision to leave the market has been made, the newspaper added.
Last month, Gazprom began constructing the Turkish Stream natural gas pipeline off the Russian Black Sea coast.
The project, with an estimated cost of €11.4 billion ($12.7 billion) was announced in December 2014. However, it was put on hold after the downing of a Russian plane in Syria by a Turkish jet in November 2015.
The pipeline could extend from Turkey to Europe, but Russia needs solid guarantees from Brussels the project will not be scrapped like the South Stream pipeline project, said Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov last October.

That busy time of year is upon us. It seems, for my family anyway, that starting about now we have at least one commitment or dinner party/get together each weekend through the rest of the year! That is super busy! Especially if you stop and consider all that goes into throwing a shin dig.
Whether it be a traditional Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, Ugly Sweater Party or even just a pot luck for the cast of the Nutcracker…we are BUSY!
Knowing all that goes into parties…I always like to bring a little something for the ladies or gents that take the effort to bring everyone together.
Honestly…anyone would love this gorgeous decoration I know I would!
I am swooning over this festive vase and it's not too Christmasy so they could enjoy it through January!
With the cold weather approaching this cozy blanket is perfect!
If you know someone who loves paper planners or who wants to get organized for the new year, this beautiful planner is a must!
Annd…this candle is the perfect anytime scent. Plus the gorgeous container can be enjoyed all year long!
Slap a festive, thoughtful thank you with any of these and some simple wrapping paper…and you are all set!
Also…don't feel like you have to be prepared with something…I always keep a couple festive dish towels on hand to pair with a bottle of my favorite wine for events we are invited to last minuet!
Happy Partying!

We were talking through their go-to-market plans and the work that I am doing. The CEO was giving me the run-down of his new team, who he had in each position and what role they were to play in the overall strategy.
This is the bit I love when working with start-ups.
It always reminds me of one of my favourite films, Reservoir Dogs.
Or come to think of it, any "heist" film where the team comes together to pull "the big job". Films like Heat, Ronin, etc... just love 'em.
The bit I like is when they're putting the team together, everyone's got their bit to play. They're specialists.
You know, there's a "grease-man", a "hacker", a "driver"...
I guess, I just like working in teams where everyone had their bit to play, we're all there for our particular slice of expertise; we all know the stakes are high and we have to deliver.
And we're working together for our own slice of the action ;-)

text: Tommye and Andrew shared their big day with us recently and it couldn't have been more fantastic! We started our day at Tommye's Family home where Family and Friends were all chipping in to help the day go smoothly. Tommye looked stunning in her delicate and uniquely embellished ball gown. The Bridesmaids donned gorgeous, dusty pink, Greek inspired gowns. Andrew and his Groomsman went with navy suits and they complimented the ladies colors beautifully. The ceremony went perfectly and Tommye and Andrew became Mr. And Mrs. Taylor! The couple went on to dance the night away with their guests at the Pratt Place Inn and Barn in Fayetteville, AR. The barn was beautifully decorated in delicate paper floral arrangements Tommye's Mother Kim made. It made the perfect backdrop for the perfect celebration. We are honored Tommye and Andrew shared their big day with us and we wish them all the best!

It's that time of year again. . . time for peanuts to be harvested. We live in an area that produces a large amount of the nation's peanuts. In fact, not far from us is Dothan, Alabama, "The Peanut Capital of the World" and the location of the National Peanut Festival held every fall.
Cotton was at one time the main crop produced in Alabama, but in 1915 the boll weevil, a beetle native to Mexico and Central America that feeds on cotton bolls and flowers, made its way to our state and changed that almost overnight. Entire cotton crops were lost and local farms were devastated. Luckily, farmers soon turned their focus to a crop that grew just as well in our area. . . the peanut. They quickly had remarkable success with it, and peanuts went on to become a major cash crop. In 2010 around 185,000 acres of peanuts were harvested in the state of Alabama alone.
I've always been very allergic to peanut dust, so this is probably not the best part of the country for me to have been born in and not the easiest time of the year for me, either. I have to say that being able to enjoy boiled peanuts and fresh peanut butter makes up for feeling a little under the weather, though. Last Sunday, one of our neighbors was kind enough to bring us a pile of peanuts that had just been dug up. So, we spent the afternoon picking them off, and we ended up with quite a few to put up in the freezer. It's something that I remember my grandfather doing every fall. He loved being able to pull a bag out and boil some to enjoy any time he wanted.
|Peanut plants are unusual because the actual peanut
grows under the ground and has to be dug up.
Today was Mose's first farrier appointment; our farrier ended up being a little late making it out to see him and Myrtle. Mose did so well for it, and I'm very proud of the little guy : ) I guess all of that training that we've done has really paid off. I wish I'd gotten a picture of him today, but I completely forgot. I'm so amazed at how fast he's grown and at how sweet his personality is. I'm planning on Mose being trained to be a riding donkey when he's older, and I think he'll suit that purpose really well.

I love the recording process and helping you achieve the sound you're looking for
|Pro Sound, Microphones
|Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Vocals
|Musical Interests
|Playing loud rock through really loud speakers, modern pop/electronic
|Joined The Family In
When you walk into Chuck's you're likely to see a lot of familiar faces. Here in the Pro Sound Department alone, we have a combined experience of something like 100 years! No, we're not quite that old - we have all just been doing this pretty much our entire lives. Our crew here is made up of guys with diverse backgrounds and our collective knowledge and experience can make a real difference to your project. My personal journey in our industry started with guitars and amps, to full-line mail-order, to almost a decade in broadcast equipment sales - and now here I am at Washington Music - surrounded by fellow musicians, DJ's, sound guys and loads of gear!
I love trying to learn all of our digital consoles without giving myself a headache. Drinking way too many Red Bulls. Building and modifying guitars to my liking. Old Ibanez RG550's and Marshall 2203's. Cigar Box guitars plugged into high-gain amplifiers - actually, anything plugged into a high-gain amp. Garbage, VH, 30STM and anything else that has a modern, dramatic and heavy sound. Even though I mainly listen to and play hard rock and heavy metal, I grew up surrounded by Bluegrass! I'm also into a lot of modern pop/electronic music, which is a guilty pleasure of mine. Not sure if I should admit that or not...
My history with Chuck's goes back long before I ever worked here. My grandparents lived nearby and, as a teenager, I used to ride my bicycle to the store and gaze at all the guitars that I planned to own one day. Like many of you, I bought my first real instrument here – a black Fender Stratocaster. I bought my first Marshall stack from Mr. Levin himself. I also discovered the ADA Flanger here, which made me an instant hero with my friends, since I could now sound just like EVH! This is not your average music store – Chuck Levin's is a Washington DC area institution with an incredible legacy. You can feel it when you walk through the door. We have a broad and diverse clientele – each with his/her own needs and budget – and we pride ourselves on being able to consistently deliver the best sound possible to our customers. From the guy who just wants a small system for his backyard parties, to the mobile DJ, touring band, nightclub owner, church or commercial contractor – we are here to help!

Helena Costa has remained tight-lipped over why she decided to step down as coach of Clermont Foot, but stressed that it was her decision.
Costa became the first female coach of a professional men's club in the top two tiers of any European league when she was appointed last month.
No reason was given for her decision to step down from the French second division club on Monday and any hopes that a press conference would clear things up were soon dashed.
Costa, 36, said that she had gone through her reasons with club president Claude Michy and that she would not disclose them publicly.
"I had a lot of points that I discussed personally with the president and after that discussion I took my decision," Costa told reporters.
"The president knows exactly what it is and he's the only person that I have to discuss (it with)."
She said that it was not something she had taken lightly and she hopes she will be given more opportunities in the future.
"I thought over my holidays so of course I would appreciate if I could continue but it was my decision so I have no reasons to be sad," she added.
"I hope in the future other opportunities will come."

How to Uninstall Apps, Remove Subscriptions and Get Your Desk Cleaned
Again a "how to have less (annoying) stuff in your life"-article. Recently I had the feeling I had too many apps on my phone. Frankly I don't have many compared to the 200+ of some colleagues, but I still like to keep my phone clean(er-ish). Sometimes I just can't get rid of an app for whatever reason. The following method works for more stuff than just "apps". I found it to be equally good for subscribed news feeds, OmniFocus projects, Mac/iPhone/iPad apps, even "things to keep on my desk" , too.
- The thing to clean.
- A spouse. Let it be your girlfriend, boyfriend, man, wife, friend, or distant relative.
The technique is done relatively easy. You get your spouse sitting next to you. Now go you through all your apps/subscriptions/whathaveyou individually. Your task is to describe each one and why you want to keep it. "This is the thing I'm using to …." Your friend listens and tells you which ones to keep.
By describing each item and "defending" them, it becomes much easier to identify those that are a burden. Sometimes you can just delete an item right away without explanation.
You: "This is the app I bought so that it becomes easier to write blog articles on my iPad."
You're spouse: "What happened? I didn't see you writing more often."
You: "I guess i didn't keep that promise. Guess I don't need it then."
This is really easy to do in 15 to 30 minutes.
With this trick I was able to identify those things that I once thought were interesting, but actually never cared about. I'm down from 130 to 102 apps again on my phone and from 183 to 126 subscriptions in Google Reader. Very little energy, high impact.

Mood: a-ok
It is simply amazing to me how much the Christian life paralells being a runner. As a runner, if I want to be successful, I have to put the time and effort into training to see the results. The same could be said for being a Christian.
As a Christian, I really need to be focused on my relationship with Jesus Christ. I have to work at it like any good relationship through prayer and studying the bible. I also need to work on being obedient to what Christ has called me to do in my life.
There is a reference for this in the bible of course. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 talks about running the race in a way that is glorifying to God. I think that this is the most important thing we can do as Christians.
In every race we run into difficult spots, but we always continue on. I think this paralells our Christian walk also. Any time we hit a rough spot, we should just fight on and trust God.
Have a great week.

Portland Traction 4001 was built in 1926 by the Kuhlman Car Company of Cleveland, Ohio as part of an order of six cars, Interstate Public Service Company 261-266. At this time Kuhlman was a subsidiary of the J. G. Brill Co. of Philadelphia. Car 4001 was built for the Interstate Public Service Company as their 262 for use on its suburban lines in the Louisville, Jeffersonville and New Albany area. These cities are located in Southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky along the Ohio River.
In 1929 a new municipal highway bridge opened across the Ohio River between the Louisville and Jeffersonville. This afforded bus competition a shorter route than the Interstate Public Service suburban operation and it was discontinued. The Indianapolis interurban continued using this route. Indiana Public Service cars 261 to 266 had specially reinforced end bumpers for additional protection for use on routes where standard interurban cars were also used. These cars proved not to be well suited for mainline service and were little used after the 1929 abandonment of the suburban operation. Reorganization resulted in Interstate Public Service Company becoming part of the Indiana Railroad in March 1931.
The Terra Haute Traction and Light Company became part of the Indiana Railroad in July 1931 and the six Kuhlman cars were transferred to Terra Haute for use on city lines in 1936. The cars went to Anderson shop for minor changes, repainting and were renumbered to Indiana Railroad 200 to 205. Terra Haute was the largest city property operated by the Indiana Railroad. It was exclusively Birney car operated until the arrival of the Jeffersonville cars. The cars were transferred to Terra Haute from Jeffersonville in two three-car trains. They were used on the South Seventh Street line in Terra Haute.
In December of 1938 an agreement was signed with National City Lines for the purchase of the Terra Haute city lines. NCL was interested only in bus operation and all streetcar service was discontinued on June 3, 1939. The six Jeffersonville cars were sent back to Scottsburg Shop for storage.
The cars were sold to Portland Traction Company, which was part of Portland Electric Power Company (PEPCO), in 1940. The six cars were shipped to Portland, Oregon on flat cars. The traction orange paint of the Indiana Railroad gave way to Portland Traction's Blue and Cream paint scheme and the cars were renumbered to 4000 to 4005. They went into service on the Oregon City and Gresham routes in 1940. That same year car 4000 was involved in a wreck with one of Portland Traction's large wooden interurban cars and it was scrapped. The remaining five cars remained in service until the end of passenger operation in 1958. By then the cars had been repainted in to Portland Traction's cream and maroon paint scheme.
Two of these cars survive today. The 4001 is at the Western Railway Museum, and the 4005 is at the Illinois Railway Museum. Car 4001 arrived at the Western Railway Museum in November 1960. It was the first car at the Museum.

Funded by the Government of Japan through its Non-Project Grant Aid Counter Value Fund (NPGA-CVF), PCPS aims to enhance the IT skills of Filipino youth as the country's future knowledge workers. PCPS4 (2009-2012) is the fourth phase of the project, with an allotted budget of PhP 490 million.
The components of PCPS are: establishment of computer laboratories in public high schools, teacher training, and implementation of computer education curriculum in the project's recipient schools.
DTI handles this project together with Department of Education (DepEd) and Department of Finance (DOF).
DTI, as the proponent agency, is in-charge of project management and coordination at the national, regional, and provincial levels. It is also in-charge of the procurement and distribution of the computer packages.
From 2001 to 2014, the PCPS project (Phases 1 to 4) distributed a total of 61,554 desktop computers to 5,028 public high schools nationwide. This translates to a reduction of computer backlog in the public high schools from 76% in 2003 to 4% in 2014. More than 52,000 teachers from the recipient schools were also trained on basic computer operation and troubleshooting and integration of IT in the basic education curriculum.
- Conducted a Roundtable Discussion Meeting with former Personal Computers for Public Schools (PCPS) Technical Working Group (TWG) members i.e. Department of Education (DepEd), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), Department of Science and Technology – Advance Science and Technology Institute (DOST ASTI), Department of Science and Technology-Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI), and Department of Trade and Industry- Information Systems Management Service (DTI ISMS)— on 28 July 2017 to discuss the proposed impact assessment of the PCPS project and gather inputs on how to go Sabout it.
- Coordinated and participated in the key informant interviews with the Department of Labor and Employment-Bureau of Local Employment (DOLE BLE), Department of Education (DepEd), Department of Trade and Industry – Competitiveness Bureau (DTI CB), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP).
- Coordinated and assisted the facilitation of the PCPS Impact Assessment focus group (FGD) with the school beneficiaries of: Region 4A on 7-8 Sep 2017 at Manila; Region 11 on 12-13 October at Davao; and, NCR on 20 October at Makati city—all of which involved public school principals and ICT coordinators. Also documented the sessions.
- Requested information/data from BOI regarding the IT sector for inclusion in the PCPS Impact Assessment documentation.
- Presented the results of the PCPS Impact Assessment to project stakeholders including DepEd, DOST, DOLE, TESDA, and IBPAP.
- Prepared and submitted the PCPS4 Terminal Report to DOF, DepEd, and Embassy of Japan.
- Prepared and endorsed to DOF the proposal for PCPS Phase 5 which aims to cover public high schools in Visayas (Regions 6 to 8) and Mindanao (Regions 9 to 13 and ARMM), particularly schools that are newly established and/or heavily damaged by natural calamities (.e.g. earthquake and typhoons) in the past three (3) years

A few years back the winning t-shirt design in a contest for the American Association of Public Opinion Research read "Weighting is the Hardest Part." And I don't think the t-shirt was referring to anything about patience!
Most statistical methods assume that every individual in the sample has the same chance of selection.
Complex Sample Surveys are different. They use multistage sampling designs that include stratification and cluster sampling. As a result, the assumption that every selected unit has the same chance of selection is not true.
To get statistical estimates that accurately reflect the population, cases in these samples need to be weighted. If not, all statistical estimates and their standard errors will be biased.
But selection probabilities are only part of weighting. Other common survey issues can also be accounted for by weighting. These include non-sampling error, coverage, and non-response.
In this introductory webinar, we will give you an overview of weighting for data from complex sample designs. We will highlight various adjustments that can be included in creating final sampling weights.
We'll also discuss some modern methods for variance estimation with sampling weights, including replicate weights.
We'll end with a high-level discussion of using survey weights in your statistical analysis.
By the end of this webinar, you'll have a better understanding of how to approach using weights in your own statistical analysis.
Note: This webinar is an exclusive benefit for members of the Statistically Speaking Membership Program.

In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. In doing so, UN Member States took an historic step in accelerating the Organization's goals on gender equality and the empowerment of women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact.
The main roles of UN Women are:
UN Women is the global champion for gender equality, working to develop and uphold standards and create an environment in which every woman and girl can exercise her human rights and live up to her full potential. UN Women are trusted partners for advocates and decision-makers from all walks of life, and a leader in the effort to achieve gender equality.
UN Women has the sole responsibility to coordinate the UN system's work on gender equality as well as promote accountability, including through regular monitoring of system-wide progress.
Over many decades, the UN has made significant progress in advancing gender equality, including through landmark agreements such as the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Gender equality is not only a basic human right, but its achievement has enormous socio-economic ramifications. Empowering women fuels thriving economies, spurring productivity and growth. Yet gender inequalities remain deeply entrenched in every society. Women lack access to decent work and face occupational segregation and gender wage gaps. They are too often denied access to basic education and health care. Women in all parts of the world suffer violence and discrimination. They are under-represented in political and economic decision-making processes. For many years, the UN has faced serious challenges in its efforts to promote gender equality globally, including inadequate funding and no single recognized driver to direct UN activities on gender equality issues. UN Women was created to address such challenges. It will be a dynamic and strong champion for women and girls, providing them with a powerful voice at the global, regional and local levels. Grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the UN Charter, UN Women, among other issues, works for the: elimination of discrimination against women and girls; empowerment of women; and achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

I love hair and glam metal23.08.2012 17:31
Long ago, in a time when rock ruled, the hair was big, and guitars that sounded good were cool, there were people who'd hang out till the early hours of the morning in the dead of night, blasting and playing the music they loved. They wore leather, chains, hairspray and had a 6-string around their backs.. They would cause madness, and became a generation of fun, attitude and acceptance. Now over 20+ years later, a new generation exists underneath the current trends. A generation who feels that his time has passed, and he was born too late... In a time of sludgy, nasty guitars, and whailing un-talented singers, aXemAn and others have brought that generation back to life. We have a chance to be that generation, and find the hundreds of those who familiarize themselves with us. This is that generation, this website and others ARE the 'Youth Gone Wild', and those years will always be remembered in the Hair Metal Mansion.

Perpedil Rugs
Collection of Tribal Antique Caucasian Perpedil Rugs
Perepedil Rugs – Perpedil is a town which is located just southeast of Kuba, in the Daghestan region of the Caucasus. Antique Perpedil rugs are the most distinctive of all Caucasian rugs, as they feature the distinguished, stylized ram horn motif that made them so well known and desirable.
The ram horn motif is alternated with other bar medallions and serrated diamonds and the centerfield featuring rows of stylized flowers, humans and animals. Smaller rugs are also produced in the region with a stylized version of the Herati pattern on the field.

The U.S. and Israel held a capstone workshop on designing integrated energy and desalination systems in Jerusalem on May 17-18, 2017. The workshop was attended by about 30 experts from industry, academia, and the public sector in the U.S. and Israel. It featured presentations by U.S. and Israeli teams competing in the U.S.-Israel Integrated Energy and Desalination Design Challenge. The workshop also featured panel discussions and tours of the Sorek desalination plant and the Shafdan wastewater treatment plant. Teams' designs were evaluated by expert judges from the U.S. and Israel, all of whom provided constructive feedback and ideas to further improve teams' designs.
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Policy and Systems Analysis (EPSA) selected the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) team as the U.S. challenge winner. Israel's Ministry of National Infrastructure, Energy and Water Resources (MIEW) plans to select the Israeli winner after the designs are further developed.
DOE and MIEW launched the challenge in April 2016 as part of the effort to expand cooperation on energy-related research and development between the U.S. and Israel. Both countries are interested in improving the energy performance, efficiency, and flexibility of desalination systems to increase the options for water provisioning under different conditions in water-scarce regions. The challenge has stimulated thinking and sharing of ideas on novel desalination system designs meeting these goals.
The ORNL-led team's innovative design can accommodate multiple water sources as inputs and has potential to provide demand response and ancillary services to the electric grid. The team met goals of the challenge by demonstrating the ability to economically balance input and output flows of water, electricity, and wastes, while addressing water demand, electricity system service market opportunities, and environmental goals. ORNL's team included diverse contributors, including partners from Columbia University, Hazen and Sawyer DPC, and Brookhaven National Laboratory.
The U.S. side of the challenge is informed by activities across DOE relating to the energy-water nexus, building from the 2014 DOE report entitled The Water-Energy Nexus: Challenges and Opportunities. For example, the challenge is related to research supported by DOE on low-cost, low-energy desalination, as well as work on improving connectivity between energy models and water models to address grid flexibility issues.
The Israeli side of the challenge includes long-term funding supporting R&D in academia and industry to address the energy-water nexus. The Ministry is also active in European frameworks in this area, such as the Water Joint Programming Initiative (Water JPI) supported by the Horizon 2020 framework program for research and innovation.
The U.S. and Israel sides plan to continue collaboration on flexible desalination as the challenge projects move to the next phase. Beyond the challenge, DOE and MIEW cooperate through a number of other efforts. A centerpiece of cooperation is the annual U.S.-Israel Energy Dialogue, a comprehensive inter-agency forum that includes policy and technical discussions at the level of senior officials, program managers, and researchers and framed by the U.S.-Israel Energy Cooperation Agreement. Most recently, the 2015 Dialogue focused on the areas of oil and gas development, oil and gas research, energy-water nexus, energy sector cybersecurity, post-doctoral research exchanges, clean energy development, and other topics. Israel will host the next Dialogue. In addition, the U.S.-Israel Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Energy program provides awards to Israeli and American companies partnering on research and development projects. BIRD Energy has supported companies working to bring to market technology in various sustainable energy areas.

J. Marsh & Kevchino interrogate ex-Cocteau Twins guitar maestro, Robin Guthrie with Ten questions in June 2003.
(Kevchino) Robin please tell us about a day in your life?
Wake up early being kicked in the face by a small child, elbowed in the eye, then pushed off the side of the bed..need coffee - head for kitchen, eyes not yet open.....coffee machine will take a little while to warm up, should have left it on all night..stopped smoking so I can breathe a little better.. then lots of morning things involving washing the dishes and feeding small people (cut to the Osbournes for the next hour) Finally leave the living part of my house and enter the working part of my house ...peace, serenity, air conditioning, no toys strategically placed on the floor for me to fall over, just quiet. drink more coffee, answer some email, make calls, coffee..do Bellaunion website stuff generally start to think about things (cut back to the Osbournes for lunch).. In the afternoon I will work on music, (back in the peace and quiet), drink coffee, around 5pm go for a random drive to empty out and prepare myself for the evening-think milk-think children's tv -- think bedtime...silence... woohoo.... back to the studio for a couple of hours...... then at night, back to my computer to do more web stuff and then go bed.
(Marsh) How did you first get involved in music? Any artists that really inspired you?
As a kid I was listening to Roxy Music, T-Rex and other 70's pop stuff until about 1976 when I was introduced to punk rock - I was just at the right age to absorb the energy of this music and culture and I guess that influenced, more than anything, the way that I live my life.. for me, it was all about doing what I want and doing it my way (it sounds naive now as I hear the same words come out of the mouth of my eldest daughter who is 14) ...After the punk rock thing died down some of the groups from the late 70's caught my attention like the birthday party, the pop group and killing joke and that sort of thing..it was very noisy stuff - but I wanted my noise to be beautiful noise...after I started trying to make that beautiful noise I guess I let less and less things in...
(Marsh) What was the impetus for recording your first solo album "Imperial"?
After a very intense period doing Violet Indiana stuff with Siobhan, she seemed to be a little too pregnant to do shows and come to the studio, so I found myself with a little space to do something else..I had done some music for and exhibition in Seattle, Ted Grudowski's The Sky Is Falling and thought to myself that if I could expand upon what I'd done I'd be able to make an album. I had a starting point and an end so I thought about where to go, muscially, to join these two very different pieces of music and found that it was really easy. In many ways this instrumental music frees me from the constraints of songwriting which is a nice change once in a while..
(Kevchino) Will you perform any live performances in support of "Imperial"?
I'd be happy to on the condition that it is the right sort of venue or event....but unfortunately I haven't really had anyone offer me any shows so far....
(Kevchino) Who is the naked woman laying on the beach on the cover of your debut?
Can't tell... :)
(Marsh) Has your approach to recording changed since you first started recording? (Like the use of samples, computers, recording at home as opposed to the studio)
The first album that I really recorded was Head Over Heels, the second Cocteau Twins album, 20 yrs ago. The prior albums were engineered and produced by others and I was very frustrated because the sound, to me, wasn't the sound I was looking for..It was frustrating so I decided I had to try myself. With HOH I went into the studio, having written no songs, and after a process of learning by my mistakes, became able to produce and engineer my own records.. I was working with analogue electronics and some cutting edge (at the time!) digital tools... The recording process was very linear and loops had to made from tape..With the advent of non linear editing this all changed but I was reluctant to change to that technology until the technology itself matured. Whether or not I work at home or not is irrelevant as my studio is part of my home. It's just that studios don't really have to be as big as they once were.. Now I'm working with digital tools and some analogue electronics..same but different.....
(Marsh) Do you like working alone or with a group?
I like working alone in the studio - I like working on stage with a group.
(Marsh) Do you have any interest in scoring on a film soundtrack? Your music would lend itself very well to soundtracks.
Go back to the answer about doing concerts for Imperial : I'd love to do a soundtrack : I find my music to be very cinematic, as do the many people who tell me hey, why don't you do a soundtrack? Quite simply I have never been asked to do anything for a movie. I think it could be a very good thing to do..For me, when I write music, especially instrumental music like imperial, it is a very visual experience, an itinerary of places I've been that I can visualise in my head as I'm working...
(Kevchino) Any future plans for Violet Indiana?
We have made a new album which will be released in september, and hopefully some shows as well. The new album, haven't got it titled yet, is a very fine peice of work, Siobhan is on top form and the whole thing is fresh and exciting. It's light and dark where roulette was dark, dark, dark with a little light here and there - the lyrics still really cut though....they're painful in places and angry, but at other spots they are tender and caring (men don't write stuff like this)
(Marsh) How did you end up working with Harold Budd on "The Moon and the Melodies"?
Ah, that was some TV documentary that was going to be made with the idea behind it being the putting together of musicians from different genres and filming them working together : the tv thing fell through but by that time we had met harold and thought 'what a top bloke' and did the thing anyway in our own studio, very quickly indeed - He was a very nice man indeed...
Interview by J. Marsh and Kevchino.

The Essence of Life
I recently read a little about Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs. It's interesting – have a bit of a look if you have the time. And the inclination.
The essence of our lives can be broken down into five fundamental human needs, and the most basic are of course physiological. We all know that.
air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep
(Although to be honest, as a middle-aged woman with a quarter of a century of marriage beneath her belt, I no longer consider sex a basic physiological need.)
I am fortunate to live in a place where air quality is sublime, access to safe, fresh water is in abundance, and I have the material means to meet my basic requirements (and more) for shelter and warmth. Sleep is problematic – I have a sleep disorder – but for the most part I manage it quite well. I get at least some shut eye almost every night.
Food? Well – it may be a primal need, but I fight it with every ounce of my being. And the trouble with fighting a fundamental human need, is the body's natural desire to stay alive.
For a couple of weeks I haven't eaten. I go three or four days with nothing but cups of tea, then the desire to binge becomes utterly overwhelming (usually right about the time I worry about fainting) and I eat-purge-eat-purge for a few hours. I'm overwhelmed with a need to eat then hate myself for eating. I swear to stop and the cycle starts again.
This is my long-winded way of confessing to relapse.
I'm going on a cruise in soon – to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary (and aforementioned absent libido). The thought of being cloistered with 2000 people, and having ready access to restaurants full of free help-yourself-buffets where every food imaginable is laid out in all its splendid glory – is quite frankly, horrifying. I simultaneously want to eat every single morsel of food on the ship, and never eat again for the rest of my life. People will see me eating and I will feel judged. Will they be judging me? Highly unlikely. Will I feel judged anyway? Yes.
Now apparently cruise ships have lots of swimming pools. I absolutely adore swimming – so much so I've purchased new swimwear. But wearing swimwear is highly confronting for most women and doubly so for those of us with body image issues. I don't know what I actually look like, but I feel like a beached whale. Unfortunately perception trumps reality. There is nothing to hide behind in swimwear – I'll pretty much be parading around in front of a pile of strangers in nylon underwear. Of course the other 1999 people will also parade around in their nylon underwear, but I'll still feel judged. I always do. Who's judging me? Why, me of course. I always have.
Coupled with my run-of-the mill anxieties, the cruise tipped me over the edge again. This too shall pass no doubt. We aren't moving permanently into the penthouse suite on the cruise ship (yes – the penthouse suite 😀 We were offered an upgrade at a too-good-to-pass-up price) so I can confidently say within three weeks it will definitely be past history and I'll look back going, "What the fuck were you thinking?!" And of course the answer to that question is, I wasn't.
When I look at that heirarchy of needs, I see so many things I am blessed to have. But also core needs I struggle with. Food obviously, but also esteem and self-actualisation. I also look at that heirarchy and wonder if it's possible to work on the top of the pyramid, when foundations are crumbly. I don't know the answer – but I do know disordered eating messes with cognitive function and it borders on impossible to work on higher order needs when you can't think straight.
Life is an interesting ride, and figuring out why I'm here and what I'm doing is kind of tricky. Fighting the body's intrinsic survival instinct is utterly exhausting, but nowhere near as exhausting as fighting an eating disorder.
If the essence of life is five basic needs, my essence is somewhat lacking. I continue to search for the missing drops.
