Sunday, 10 August 2014 JUSTJARED (Beyonce Knowles) --
Beyonce and Jay Z's marriage has been under a ton of media scrutiny over the last few months and as usual, they have not commented on the divorce rumors at all.
The 32-year-old entertainer may have just responded to the rumors in her own way – one of her fashion poses on social media!
Beyonce posted a photo on her Instagram account on Saturday (August 9) of herself wearing a football jersey featuring her husband's last name "Carter" on the back. She is seemingly wearing nothing else in the picture.
Make sure to check out the message Bey her fans earlier in the week thanking them for supporting her and Jay on their On The Run Tour this summer.

Racer Kevin Ward Jr.'s Friend Gives Eyewitness Account of Tony Stewart Accident
Sunday, 10 August 2014 JUSTJARED (Kevin Ward Jr) --
An eyewitness account from the scene of the accident involving sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. and veteran NASCAR racer Tony Stewart has emerged.
It appears that Tony hit Kevin's car and caused it to swerve out of control. The young racer got out of his car and reportedly was yelling at Tony's car as it made its next lap around the track. That is when Tony ran his car into Kevin, who was standing on the side of the track.
"Tony pinched him into the front stretch wall, a racing thing," Tyler Graves, a friend of Kevin's and fellow sprint car racer told The Sporting News. "The right rear tire went down, he spun on the exit of (Turn) 2. They threw the caution and everything was toned down. Kevin got out of his car. … He was throwing his arms up all over the place at Tony for most of the corner."
"I know Tony could see him. I know how you can see out of these cars," he added. "When Tony got close to him, he hit the throttle. When you hit a throttle on a sprint car, the car sets sideways. It set sideways, the right rear tire hit Kevin, Kevin was sucked underneath and was stuck under it for a second or two and then it threw him about 50 yards."
We'll continue updating more with this developing story as the details emerge.

NASCAR's Tony Stewart Reportedly Runs Over Kevin Ward Jr.
In a crazy story that is currently developing, it appears that NASCAR driver Tony Stewart (pictured left) ran over fellow racer Kevin Ward Jr. after an altercation during a dirt-track event at the Canandaigua Speedway on Saturday (August 9) in Canandaigua, N.Y.
According to eyewitnesses, the 43-year-old driver hit Kevin's car and it spun out of control.
Kevin then got out of the car and when Tony was making his next lap around the track, he slammed into Kevin who was standing on the side of the track. People in the stands say that he flew more than 25 feet from the scene.
"People (who could see it better) said the guy got out of his car and was gesturing angrily at Tony Stewart when Tony Stewart came by during the next lap under yellow," an eyewitness told The Sporting News. "He approached him and evidently when he was driving by the guy standing on the track gesturing at him, he gunned his engine. What happened was the back end kicked out and clipped the guy and the guy flew across the track."
Police have confirmed that they are investigating the incident and no further details have been revealed yet. The race track updated its Facebook page after the incident saying that "Tonight's racing events were suspended due to an accident. Please hold off on any speculation until we have further information to share."
Tony is currently scheduled to be racing during the 2014 Cheez-It 355 in Watkins Glen on Sunday (August 10).

It is quite easy to manufacture plastic or steel, but rubber is not the same and the rubber manufacturer must take great care when manufacturing rubber products. The manufacturing of plastic or steel is quite simple since it only needs the combination of three or four types of materials while forming their compounds, but in the rubber manufacturing processing, it is far more complex since it involves the blending of ten to twenty different materials. In obtaining the standards forms, no distinct formula is given. Every rubber product has its own needs to be met and so the rubber manufacturing processes has to be customized according to this need. There are different kinds of chemical reactions that rubber has to go through for its manufacturing cycled especially if it is the type that is vulcanized.
The amount of ingredients to be used for the necessary chemical reaction is determined by manufacturers by reversing the processes frequently. This procedure is bound to have many mistakes since there are no specific ways to do this. This problem is avoided by the awareness that certain rubber characteristics should not be lost or altered in the process because the results would be negative. So these rubber products are used for applications where it is resilient to endure any type of stress. This property of resilience should not be hampered and so the formulation should be done in that particular manner by rubber manufacturers. For rubber pipe manufacturing, they make the product very strong to withstand any kind of harsh chemicals. Check this link to know more!
Rubber pipes will allow oils and gasoline to pass but harsh fluids like alkalis, acids, or cleaning solvents can also be made to pass through them for several industrial usages. If the rubber manufacturer does not meet the perfect formulation then it may cause the pipe to get crumbled or dissolved. And in order to give more applications to rubber products, rubber manufacturers should also come up with products that can resist extreme temperatures. They should have rubber products that can withstand extremely hot temperatures of below freezing temperatures. To know more ideas on how to rubber is manufactured, just check out https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/edm-rubber-chicken_us_57cd6937e4b0e60d31df9e29.
If you want to work with a rubber manufacturer, it is not as easy as it seems. Finding the best manufacturer around is a difficult task. Working with the best rubber manufacturer requires that you first know what type of rubber products your want to deal in. When making rubber products, there are many different forms of rubber processing. Different manufacturers are involved in different types of processing. There are different manufacturers for different types of processing. So once you settle down with what kind of rubber product you want to deal in, finding the rubber manufacturer won't be a problem, click here to get started!

Are You Training Your Gut?
By: Nancy Clark MS RD CSSD
Runners tend to do a good job of training their muscles, heart and lungs. But some of them (particularly marathoners and ultra-runners) commonly fail to train their gut. As one marathoner reported, "I was so afraid of getting diarrhea during long training runs that I did not eat or drink anything beforehand. I really struggled after 14 miles..." A high school athlete admitted, "I'm so afraid I'll throw up if I run with food in my stomach." He ate only a light lunch at 11:00 and then practiced on fumes at 3:30. No wonder he had a disappointing season.
An estimated 30-50% of endurance athletes (including up to 90% of distance runners) have experienced gastro-intestinal (GI) issues during and after hard exercise. They fear bloat, gas, nausea, stomach cramps/pain, side stitch, diarrhea, vomiting, and urge to defecate. These issues arise during long bouts of exercise because blood flow to the gut is reduced for an extended period of time.
Whetting Your Appetite: Do as I Say, Not as I Do

Polar Plunge Cold When You Think About It
By Teri Saylor
The line of shivering, swimsuit-clad bodies behind the giant slide at Lifetime Fitness in Cary, NC was a short one. It was New Year's Day, after all, and the outdoor swimming pool was a beautiful, frosty sight with a thin sheet of ice floating on its surface. There were more spectators lined up in heavy coats armed with cameras and mobile phones than there were polar plungers on this day of new beginnings. The squeals and shrieks started before anyone ever put foot to ladder for the long, cold climb to the top.
The Last Marathon
By Art Zimmerman
When I started running in 2001 at age 55, just to lose some weight, running a marathon was definitely not on my radar. But in the process of getting hooked on running, and since 55 year old legs are not normally built for speed, definitely not mine, I found myself enjoying the challenge of seeing how far I could run. The following year I managed to finish my first marathon on Kiawah Island under my optimistic 5 hour time goal. I was hooked again, this time on the marathon.

How to Lay Felt on a Flat Roof
Felt is laid on a flat roof to help keep the roofing system waterproof. While laying felt is not an easy job, it can be done by anyone who has the patience to deal with it. Here are simple steps to get you started.
Step 1- Prep Work
Check to ensure the roof is in good enough condition to walk over. You will be looking for any decking that has rotted or bowed. These pieces should be replaced. If you need to replace any boards, be sure to coat them with a preservative. If you already have felt on the roof, remove it along with any excess nails. Roll the new felt out on the roof and allow it to stay on the roof for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to work with.
Step 2- Placing the Felt
Using galvanised clout nails, nail down the first layer of felt. Ensure the felt remains even and straight as you work. It's best to start nailing in the center and work out from there. Paint a thin layer of adhesive over the first felt layer. You will be placing the second layer of felt over this. There needs to be an overlap in the felt to help increase the water tight quality. You wan walk over the roof to remove any air bubbles that may form.
Step 3- Finishing
A third layer of felt needs to be placed. Cover the edges of the roof with strips of felt before laying out the final layer. You will follow the same process as in step 2 for the last layer. Apply another layer of adhesive to the top for maximum waterproofing. You can cover the surface of the felt with gravel for added strength.

Awesome! And while taking care of a family with 5 kids. You are my hero. What a great role model you are being for your kids. Kids see everything. Good for you and keep it up...
Congratulations! Every bit counts as we widdle away our weight. Great work..
Happy Friday the 13th.....
Thank you, Baily. One of my biggest motivators is that I want them to see a HEALTHY mama, not an overweight, depressed and unhealthy one..
YES!! They DO see everything! If I put anything into my mouth that is not Medifast food (like, seriously, anything - Crystal Lite, lettuce, coffee, gum...) my 6 year old daughter asks me, "Are you ALLOWED to eat that???" Hahaha! They keep me honest!..
Awesome job! With 5 kids too, I don't know how you manage!! Great loss, keep it going...
Don't you just LOVE putting those dates after your goals???!?!!? Great job!!!!..
Well that should keep you PLENTY motivated to be a good girl camping!!!..

Keep up the *great* work!!..
Thanks so much, everyone. I DO feel like a new person already. I notice now that I don't have to avert my eyes every time I walk up to my back (full glass) door. I literally got so that I couldn't even stand myself in the mirror. I can't say I *love* what I see now, but at least she is a little more familiar!!!!..
Congratulations Kim! Isn't it amazing how quickly the time flies! One of my favorite quotes from the message boards is: Go on with your life..let Medifast work in the background. The only time that I find Medifast inconvenient is when go to put on a pair of shorts and find that they are all falling off! And I certainly can't complain about that!..
That is FANTASTIC Kim!!! So happy for you!!! You are doing AWESOME sista!..
Kim that's fantastic! You've got to be feeling really good.
Congrats and keep up the great work girlfriend!..
Wow! You're doing GREAT! I bet you feel like a new person now already! I have noticed how much I enjoy playing/running around with my kids since I've taken off so much weight.

A former jockey is getting back in the saddle for charity at York Racecourse on Saturday.
Chris Brownless, 64, from Wooler, is taking part in a charity raceday for Macmillan Cancer Support and other good causes.
The finale to the day will be the Best Western Hotels & Macmillan Ride of their Lives – a huge charity horse race featuring 12 brave amateur riders.
Chris was a late substitute after an injury to another rider, only joining the group in April.
He said: "Having lost my younger brother, Malcolm, to cancer in 2015 at the age of 57, I would like to raise as much money as possible for this worthwhile charity. It is very poignant that the raceday is Malcolm's birthday. He would have been 60."
Chris has had a taste of riding at York before having raced, and won, on the course in the 1970's when he was a jockey. He has worked in in the racing industry since, and is due to retire in August when he turns 65.
Chris Hughes, star of ITV2's Love Island, is also among the group, which has raised more than £80,000, and counting, for Macmillan.
The riders have been through months of training ahead of the race, which will see them race thoroughbred horses over nine furlongs of the famous Knavesmire, in front of thousands of spectators.
Alexandra Schimmel, Macmillan event development manager, said: "Macmillan Charity Raceday is Macmillan's single-biggest fundraising event. It's a great day out and raises such an amazing amount of money. Donations help fund Macmillan's vital services, which include nurses, information specialists and welfare benefits advisers, which are there to help people living with cancer."
Macmillan Charity Raceday is a fundraising collaboration between York Racecourse and Macmillan Cancer Support.

O. Koprivnjak, K. Brkić Bubola, U. Kosić: Sodium chloride compared to talc as processing aid has similar impact on volatile compounds but more favourable on ortho-diphenols in virgin olive oil, European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology 2016, 118 (2) 318–324. (Q2) Abstract: The possibility of improvement of olive paste extractability by addition of talc or NaCl (1%, 2% and 3% mass ratio in olive paste), or their combinations ("talc 1.5% + NaCl 1.5%"; "talc 1% + NaCl 2%"; "talc 2% + NaCl 1%"), was investigated on a laboratory scale. Volatiles in oil samples were determined by headspace solid-phase microextraction with GC-MS, while ortho-diphenols by solid phase extraction and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Significantly higher extractability of oil (from 25 to 29% compared to control, P < 0.05) was obtained by 3% of talc or NaCl and their combinations in mass ratio 1:2 or 2:1. At 3% addition level, no significant decrease of C6 aldehydes was observed, while significant increase of C6 alcohols (talc or salt) as well as of C5 compounds and terpenes (salt) occurred. Mass ratio of ortho-diphenols in oil was not influenced by talc, while NaCl led to significantly higher values compared to control (by 10-15%, P < 0.05). Practical applications: The influence of processing aids on characteristics of virgin olive oil has mainly been evaluated through the standard chemical quality parameters, while limited information about desirable volatile compounds of thus obtained extra virgin olive oils has been published so far. The results of this research show that NaCl can be used not only as a tool for enhancing the extractability, but also as a means for improving the nutritional value of virgin olive oils from cultivars which generally show low levels of hydrophilic phenols.
V. Majetić Germek, O. Koprivnjak, B. Butinar, L. Pizzale, M. Bučar-Miklavčič, L. S. Conte: Phenols and Volatiles of Istarska bjelica and Leccino Virgin Olive Oils Produced with Talc, NaCl and KCl as Processing Aids, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society (2016) 93:1365–1372 (Q2) Abstract: The effect of processing aids (2.5 % of talc, NaCl or KCl) on oil extractability and the profile of phenolic and volatile compounds of Istarska bjelica and Leccino oils was studied. Talc significantly increased extractability in both cultivars, while salts increased extractability in Leccino cv. In the laboratory extracted oils, phenols were determined by a RP-HPLC–DAD method, whereas volatiles were determined by SPME/GC–MS. Talc addition significantly decreased hydroxytyrosol and increased ligstroside derivatives in produced oils, but did not affect the total phenol content. Among volatile compounds, only Z-2-penten-1-ol in Leccino and 1-pentene-3-one in Istarska bjelica oils significantly increased by talc addition. Salts improved transfer of most individual phenols into oil, particularly oleuropein derivatives, and increased C6 aldehydes and C5 volatiles in Leccino oils. NaCl exerted a stronger effect in increasing individual phenols and volatiles than KCl.

Proceedings of the 8th International Congress of Food Technologists, Biotechnologists and Nutritionists, Opatija (Croatia), 21 - 24 October 2014, (J. Frece, ed.) p. 93-98. ISBN 978-953-99725-6-9 Abstract: Biochemical synthesis of virgin olive oil volatile substances during olive processing depends on activity of endogenous enzymes involved in the LOX pathway. Phenols present in olive paste could be one of the inhibitory factors, since it is known that phenolic compounds are able to bind and inhibit various enzymes. Olive paste of Buža cultivar, known to have low phenols content and a relatively high C6 volatiles mass ratio in oil, was fortified with phenolic extract from olive fruits during processing, in order to study the effect on volatile compounds in oil. Oil samples were obtained by a laboratory plant from olive pastes containing two levels of phenols content (real and increased by 20%). Phenols in oils were determined by RP HPLC with UV-DAD detection using tyrosol, apigenin and luteolin (calibration standards) and syringic acid (internal standard). Volatiles were analysed by SPME-GC-MS with 4-methyl-2-pentanol as an internal standard. The increase of total phenols mass ratio in olive paste by 20% has led to a much higher rise of phenols in oil samples (hydroxytyrosol 185%; oleuropein and ligstroside derivatives by 175% and 750%, respectively). Oils from fortified pastes had up to 10 times reduced values of Z-3-hexenal and 2 times of E-2-hexenal, E-2-hexen-1-ol and hexyl acetate. Other substances (hexanal, E-3-hexen-1-ol, Z-3-hexenyl acetate and C5 compounds) showed minor changes in relation to the increased phenols mass ratio in olive paste. A relatively low odour threshold value of Z-3-hexenal, E-2-hexenal and E-2-hexen-1-ol suggests that a radical decrease of their mass fraction in oil should have an evident negative impact on the perception of green odour notes. Results confirm the hypothesis of inhibitory effect of phenols compounds in olive paste on the biosynthesis of the most important volatile compounds of pleasant virgin olive oil aroma.
K. Brkić Bubola, O. Koprivnjak: poglavlje 3.1. Influence of Filtration on Composition of Olive Oils, u: Processing and Impact on Active Components in Food (ur. V. R. Preedy), Elsevier, Academic Press, London (2015) ISBN: 978-0-12-404699-3 Abstract: Immediately after extraction from olive fruits, virgin olive oil is a turbid juice with suspended particles of plant tissue and vegetable water droplets, which can deteriorate their quality by facilitating hydrolysis or oxidation of oil. Recently, filtration becomes a standard virgin olive oils production step with the aim of faster product finalisation and shelf life extension. Filtration of olive oil could influence changes on antioxidant compounds such as phenols, tocopherols and pigments as well as volatile substances responsible for pleasant virgin olive oil aroma. In this work, changes of these minor compounds and fatty acids in relation to different filtration systems applied to virgin olive oil are discussed. In addition, influences of several agronomic and technological factors on composition of active compounds of virgin olive oil are reviewed. Moreover, analytical techniques for determination of virgin olive oil active components are pointed out. Chapter points:

(0017-3495) (Q2) Abstract: The influence of low storage temperature (+4 °C and −20 °C) and conventional storage room temperature on the quality parameters, phenolic contents and volatile profiles of Buža, Črna and Rosinjola monovarietal virgin olive oils after 12 months of storage was investigated in this study. Virgin olive oils stored at low temperatures maintained better quality parameters than oils stored at room temperature. A negligible decrease in the total phenols was detected after 12 months of storage at all investigated temperatures. The total volatile compounds, aldehydes, alcohols and esters in almost all stored samples were unchanged compared to fresh oils. Total ketones increased after storage, although at a lower temperature these changes were less notable. An increase in the oxidation indicators hexanal and hexanal/E-2-hexenal ratio was the lowest in oils stored at +4 °C. Storage at temperatures lower than room temperature could help to prolong the shelf-life of extra virgin olive oil by maintaining high quality parameters and preserving the fresh oil's volatile profile.

Poljuha: Antioxidants, radical-scavenging and protein carbonylation inhibition capacity of six monocultivar virgin olive oils in Istria (Croatia), Acta Alimentaria 2016, 45 (3) 427–433.(Q3) Abstract: Six monocultivar virgin olive oils (VOOs) produced from five autochthonous (Buža, Buža Puntoža, Istarska Bjelica, Porečka Rosulja, and Rosinjola) and one referent cultivar (Leccino), were investigated. The mass fractions of ortho-diphenols (ORT) and tocopherols (TOC) were analysed by VIS spectroscopy and HPLC. The radical-scavenging capacity was evaluated by electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) using galvinoxyl free radical and the DPPH test. Results revealed a high level of total TOC in VOOs of Buža Puntoža (243 mg kg–1) and Porečka Rosulja (325 mg kg–1). VOOs contained in 100 g from 79% (Istarska Bjelica) to 261% (Porečka Rosulja) of recommended daily allowance of α-tocopherol. The mass fraction of ORT in Istarska Bjelica and Rosinjola was >250 mg kg–1 (on average 30–40% higher in comparison to other studied cultivars). Istarska Bjelica and Porečka Rosulja showed the highest antioxidant capacity in both methods of measurement. The highest capacity to inhibit protein carbonylation (PC) in response to oxidative stress (54–56%) was displayed by Buža Puntoža, Leccino, and Buža. High level of positive linear correlation between ORT mass fraction and radical-scavenging capacity measured by DPPH test (r=0.768), as well as strong negative correlation between PC inhibition and mass fraction of ORT (r= –0.697), were observed.

Koprivnjak: Filtered vs. Naturally Sedimented and Decanted Virgin Olive Oil during storage: Effect on Quality and Composition, LWT - Food Science and Technology 84 (2017) 370-377. (Q1) Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare quality changes and compositional characteristics (fatty acids, total phenols, sensory profile) during 12 months storage of Buza and Istarska bjelica cv. virgin olive oils clarified by filtration at an industrial scale (filter press equipped with cellulose filters) and those clarified by natural sedimentation and decantation, as well as the influence of filtration of virgin olive oils on sterols and triterpene dialcohols composition. There were no significant differences in hydrolytic deterioration and sensory scores during the whole storage period between filtered and naturally sedimented oil samples. After 6 months, natural sedimentation was more favorable as regards delaying of oxidative deterioration, while filtration provided a more stable sensory profile. As regards total phenols the impact of the clarifying procedure was dependent on cultivar and fruit ripeness degree and it was more emphasized than the impact of storage. Filtration slightly affected the fatty acids composition, but natural sedimentation and decantation had no effect on it. Nevertheless, filtration did not compromise the confirmation of virgin olive oil authenticity according to the fatty acid composition, as well as according to sterols and triterpene dialcohols. Highlights:
• Filtration vs. natural sedimentation and decantation of virgin olive oil (VOO).
• Filtration cause higher oxidation of VOO than sedimentation and decantation.
• Sensory profile of filtered VOO is more stable during storage than decanted VOO.
• Filtration affects the fatty acids composition, but decantation has no effect on it.
• Filtration does not compromise the VOO authenticity confirmation.

Brkić Bubola: Complex interactive effects of ripening degree, malaxation duration and temperature on Oblica cv. virgin olive oil phenols, volatiles and sensory quality, Food Chemistry 2017, Volume 232, 610-620. (Q1) Abstract: The interactive effects of ripening degree, malaxation duration and temperature on Oblica cv. (Olea europaea L.) virgin olive oil phenols, volatiles, and sensory quality were investigated. Olives were picked at three ripening degrees with International Olive Council indices of 0.68, 2.48 and 4.10, and processed by malaxation at 22 and 30 °C, and at both temperatures for 30 and 60 min. Ripening exhibited the strongest effect, and malaxation duration the weakest. Phenols were generally found to decrease during ripening; however 3,4-DHPEA-EDA and p-HPEA-EDA increased. Similar behaviour was observed for (E)-2-hexenal. Higher malaxation temperature induced an increase in particular important phenols and C6 alcohols, while C6 aldehydes mostly decreased. Interactions between the factors were established, mostly between ripening degree and malaxation temperature: the effect of the latter was most pronounced for ripe olives, especially for 3,4-DHPEA-EDA, p-HPEA-EDA and C6 volatiles. Sensory attributes were generally in agreement with the chemical composition. Highlights:
• Interactive effects of ripening and malaxation on olive oil quality were studied.
• Ripening degree exhibited the strongest effect, and malaxation duration the weakest.
• Ripening degree and malaxation temperature interacted most strongly.
• The effect of malaxation temperature was the strongest for ripe olives.

Typegram rating system
This is a slightly structured stream of thoughts about how the ratings on the typegram will be arranged. This flow has been forming in the background for the last several weeks and this is the first, but not the last, attempt to formalize it in the form of abstracts.
Let's start with the interface. Just because I always program from the interface (and I advise everyone)
As is:
Now we have the main menu item all
It contains all the publications in reverse order. And this is the bottom.
To be:
There will be three sections with strange names:
top mid btm
Yes, I love DotA (my dog's name is pudge, for example). And I'm sure that ratings are more about game mechanics/motivation than something seriously adequate. I suppose to divide all the content into three parts, top, middle and bottom. At this point, I vomit to pieces, in terms of determining the period for which the articles will be ranked. On the one hand, you need to keep all the articles in the index, on the other, maybe not. Now I'm inclined to keep the articles in these sections - a month. Those a month after the publication of the article will disappear from the ratings and from the main, but will still be available as a direct link, and in the author's feed. The articles will be sorted in reverse chronological order, those hits in the top - does not mean that at the very top - will be forever the same.
How to determine who will be at the top, and who is at the bottom. Every hour I will find the article for the hour. The best and the worst. If they are not in the top or bottom - they will be added. All other articles go to farm the rating on the mid. As farm - fall into the top. If you merge mid - fall into the bottom. This is over.
Rating of the article.
Dancing, as always from the interface:
+ 5: 1 -
Each user will have 10 votes per day. He can spend them on both pluses and minuses. As for one article to charge all 10, and distribute them as he wants.
Why can I rub on the medium 50 voices at a time for one article? Now I'm not interested in looking at these figures at all
The author sees both the negative and the positive, separately.
On good - : it is necessary to make clickable - and to show a tablet of voices on users. But this is hell technically keep everything in all sections
Rating of the comments
+ 5
Sometimes the authors - will want to collect a feedback on something. Type, seals - and vote plz which article you like best. The first five comments will be links to articles - just put a plus sign - your favorite.
Yes, I'm a pervert. And I plan to make the rating of the comments diametrically opposite. This complicates the understanding of how things work here, of course, but it's also interesting for me to hone this game mechanics.
So, comments will be positive. I do not know why. Do not ask. I just want to give more opportunities for collecting feedback with different mechanics. And for the comment, it will be possible to give only one vote. It will not be possible to slash the entire ten into one. And I'm not sure that you need to draw voices from a single barrel. Not even so. I will do by analogy but separately. Each reader will have 10 votes per comment per day. One comment is one voice. It seems transparent. And I'll probably start with them, with comments.

Chance The Rapper Cancels Remainder of European Tour
Chance The Rapper has canceled the remainder of his Magnificent Coloring World tour in Europe due to "personal reasons."
According to a statement on Facebook from the promoter, the Chicago rapper was scheduled to perform two shows at the Helix in Dublin and a concert at the Apollo in Manchester.
"He sends his apologies for this and looks forward to returning to Europe in 2017," the statement read.
Chance has previously canceled stints due to health issues, like his 2014 Coachella set where he had fallen ill and was taken to the hospital. Earlier this year, he missed a charity performance in New York also after being hospitalized.
News of his canceled stint comes after Chance The Rapper's frequent collaborator and "big brother" Kanye West also shut down the remainder of his Saint Pablo tour outing earlier this week after being hospitalized and reportedly suffering from "temporary psychosis due to sleep deprivation."
A rep for Chance The Rapper did not immediately respond to Billboard's request for comment.

Italian Wine Sales To Grow In Retail Channel In 2018
Published on Apr 12 2018 2:27 PM in Drinks tagged: Wine / Italy / Vinitaly
Italian wine sales are expected to grow in large-scale retail trade in 2018, according to a release by the Vinitaly 2018 trade fair has found.
The country recorded a positive sales year in 2017, equalling a total of 648 million litres and €1.85 billion.
According to research conducted by data analyst IRi for the fair, white wines, PDO and sparkling wines were still the most popular in Italian supermarkets, hypermarkets and independent retailers.
However, the best-selling brands were red wines Lambrusco and Chianti (both with over 13 million litres sold) and Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (8.4 million litres).
Among the wines that achieved double-digit growth in sales were Grillo (from Sicily), Primitivo (Apulia), Ortrugo (Emilia-Romagna), Ribolla (Friuli Venezia Giulia), Valpolicella Ripasso (Veneto), and Cortese (Piedmont).
Positive Trend
The positive trend is expected to continue in 2018, which could be a year of record growth, thanks mainly to wine with denomination of origin demarcation and sparkling wine. According to a release by Vinitaly, this predicted growth will occur in spite of the likely price hike caused by the diminished harvest of 2017, which will especially affect table wines.
Sales of wine with denomination of origin (in 0.75L bottles) grew by 2% year on year, to 280 million litres. Sparkling wines (and champagne) were up by 4.9% to 68 million litres.
However, the negative trend of large bottles (up to 2L) continued, seeing a further 2.5% drop, while wine bricks registered a decrease of 0.6%. The 'bag in box' format, although still niche, continues to grow (+5.4%). Organic wine and sparkling wine sales were up significantly, exceeding 4 million litres, confirming that there is still ample space for growth.
Novelty And Value
Although wine purchases in the large-scale retail trade have been stable for years, consumers are increasingly appreciating both novelty and value. Wines with denomination of origin sold a further 5.5 million litres in 2017, while regional wines are registering high growth rates year after year. According to Virgilio Romano, IRi business insight director, emerging wines are appreciated for their non-low price positioning (more than half cost over €4), which shows consumers are willing to pay for novelty.
Among this year's trends will be the continued growth of organic wines (€24 million in value), but also of private label brand wines. This is according to wine buyers of large retailers, such as Coop, Conad, Gruppo Selex, and Carrefour.
Hypermarket chain Iper La Grande I sold 1 million bottles of its wines with designation of origin marketed under the Grandi Vigne brand, with unit prices ranging from €4 to €40. For its part, Gruppo Selex (Famila, A&O and other regional banners) reported a 12% growth in volume of sales of its 'Le Vie dell'Uva' wine brand, consisting of 59 labels.
Increasing Prices
Average prices in the retail channel have been increasing year after year. The IRi research shows that 0.75L bottles were sold at an average price of €4.32/litre in 2017 (+2.3% on 2016).
In a release about the Vinitaly event, Coop Italia's Francesco Scarcelli commented that the increase in sale price could lead to a reduction in purchases, while Conad's Valerio Frascaroli said that the increases should affect table wines more than wines with a designation of origin, as table wines are consumed daily.
Pricing is a simpler issue for wines marketed under private label brands, a sector that in 2017 accounted for 13.7% of wine sales and 6% of sales of 0.75L bottles.
On the international front, Italian wine exports grew by 7% in 2017, reaching a record high of around €6 billion, according to farmers' association Coldiretti.

It sounds like you may have been to a lot of the same shows I've been to. I know we were both at the Orlando show at The Social recently. Did you do the VIP thing too?
Ahh yeah we saw them in Fort Lauderdale at The Culture Room back then. We were broke art school kids and the venue was 5 miles from the dorm so we never really left the city back then
We did go to Orlando this time but were off to the side by the ramp to the stage the whole time. I spent most of the night talking to the merch guy and the opening acts as we had just seen them and did VIP in Tampa at The Orpheum. It was our 10 year wedding anniversary and I managed to get word to the band about my wife's TBM tattoo:
and how we bought the Blue DVD in 2006 and only got Rhim, Rainbow, and Falcore's signatures and would really like if we could maybe get the rest 11 years later. I posted some pics in the tour thread!

Maker Faire 2012 - Wearable Tech
Ah, Maker Faire. Each May for the past 6 years it's become a tradition to head out to San Mateo Fairgrounds and mix with all the other lovely, obsessive DIY-ers for a weekend of play, show and tell. This year, I got a new perspective as I got a chance to go as a Maker - and got a great view of the setup and the people behind the scenes.
In the past I've been lucky to go as a Media person, interviewing Makers for my friend Alexa Smith's artfuture YouTube channel. Maker Faire is the perfect place to find people working in the intersection of art and technology and you should definitely check out some of the previous year playlists - so many cool projects to explore (MF 2008, MF 2009, MF 2010, MF 2010 eTextile, MF 2011). The emphasis has always been finding out more about why the Makers do what they do, as well as getting a tour of the project they've brought. So many fun stories and tips to help inspire you to try out your own projects.
This year, I was excited to MC the Wearable Technology Showcase where we tried something new - doing short interviews in front of the crowd to introduce the Makers and then sending them out so people could see their projects up close. In the past we've had a fun fashion show but we want to keep evolving so more people can get inspired by talking with the people who are already wonderfully obsessed. Intel was very kind to donate their sound system and booth up to the cause this year.
Wearable technology is an interesting sub-culture in the DIY and Maker space. It crosses through adaptive technologies that help the wearer to navigate the world in ways they wouldn't otherwise be able to (PointLocus, hugging vest, wearable cane), light up clothing using LED and el wire, and communicative/responsive wearables. It also includes traditional fashion-focused garments extended with sensing or expressive technology and all of the materials used to create the wearables - traditionally called eTextile.
One of the easiest places to start your journey into circuits and wearable technology is to learn how to create soft circuits - a simple setup of a battery, connective thread and an LED light.
You can find a whole treasure trove of information, videos and inspiration at Lynne Bruning's site. Recently she created an entire video "how to" series that takes you through the basics and beyond in wearable computing. We interviewed Lynne a couple of year's ago about the eTextile Fashion Show she's planned and run the past 3 years - definitely a wonderful person to know if you're intrigued by eTextiles and wearable technology.
You can also search sites such as Instructables and find books for soft circuit, wearable tech and eTextile projects. If you prefer hands-on and in-person style learning, see if you can find any hacker or Make spaces in your area as there are communities all over the world who co-create and teach each other about all the aspects of wearable technology including Arduino programming, sewing, powering your project and how to use connective mediums such as conductive thread, paint and meshes.
In case you need some inspiration, here are a few of the amazing wearable technology Makers from this year's SF Bay Area Maker Faire.
Ruffletr0n - Lara Grant and Cullen Miller
Not simply wearable but playable, Lara shows me how the Ruffletr0n is built and Cullen gives me a peek into the software working behind the scenes to produce the sound as it is played on the garment.
Annika (8-year old Maker) - YoungMaker Soft Circuit Group
If this doesn't inspire you to get out and try your own projects, then DIY isn't for you.
Alex Glow - Hologram-enabled hat & bracelets
I love holograms and was excited to get a chance to talk with Alex about these "old-school" meets wearable tech projects.
Kristin Koch - Haptic Biomorphic Jewelry
A recent graduate of CCA, Kristin gives us insight into her adaptive technology project that cues the wearer to anxiety episodes and helps to break the cycle with haptic feedback.
Jeff Saltzman - (F)Light Suit
Definitely a crowd favorite, Jeff shares the details behind his fun full body wearable project.
Threadwitch - Volcano Coat
I'm so inspired by the stunning quality of sewing on Threadwitch's very first wearable project. A really good example of taking one skill and maneuvering it into lifelong learning.
Chung-Hay Luk - Vibrato Skirt

|Out and About August 2011
All photographs by and
Hi everyone
|Looked at the
Viewpoint this morning – three wood sandpipers, and then later we
duplicated our circular drive from the end of last month, but this
time did not see the Bonelli's eagle or an ortolan bunting. Plenty
of wheatears and linnets; photo of the latter below. Otherwise,
singles of jay, whinchat and crag martin to mention, but no big
birds for the first time ever – that includes buzzard and griffon!
Having read Colin Turvey's blog for today, we feel hard done by!
|A day at home with my
camera handy, and an olivaceous warbler was spotted in one of our
olive trees. These birds are not often viewed in the open, so a
couple of photos was quite a result.
|Later, early
evening, it was very humid, and the hirundines were feasting on
insects at low level, particularly around our house. They were a
mixture of house martins, barn and red-rumped swallows, with two
alpine swifts turning up later. What we considered unusual was that
the swallows were landing on our mulberry trees, and feeding on
insects crawling amongst the leaves. Dozens of these birds were
taking up positions on our overhead cables, before continuing
sortees in the warm air above.

House Martin
A sad event this morning (10th). After spotting an olivaceous warbler in our garden yesterday, today at breakfast a thud was heard, and we found the same species had crashed into one of our French doors. Unfortunately it appeared to have broken its neck, and never regained consciousness.
We are now getting glimpses of olivaceous warblers in our olive trees a few times each day, and have also sighted a willow warbler too. During an otherwise fairly uneventful late morning drive to the Ano Mallaki area on the 12th, we spot our first red-backed shrike of the autumn migration. This is our earliest sighting of this species – a week earlier than any previous year for us. One spotted flycatcher also seen and a female cirl bunting.
An evening drive to Kallikratis revealed very little, although we did see our first woodchat shrike since spring. In previous years we have occasionally had a breeding pair throughout the summer, not far from the house.
A quick look at the
Viewpoint on 15th revealed a kingfisher, the first
sighting there since last year. Last winter/spring we had very few
kingfishers at the obvious locations, though one did remain around
the Kalivaki beach area. Two garganey also seen at the Viewpoint
photo below.
With business in Kefalas we took the opportunity to take coffee to Drapanos Head. We needn't have bothered as there was nothing to be seen there this time. On the way back we did encounter a tawny pipit, and a probable peregrine at some distance over Ombriasgalos. Back home we saw a flock of c.50 dark birds flying over the Almyros Bay. They stayed distant, and we can only guess they were glossy ibis. Today is 16th, and we saw our first autumn migrating flock on this very same day last year. Before dusk, alpine swifts were seen high above the house; about 25 of them.
For the first time
this year, I took an early morning trip to Agia at sunrise.
Unfortunately it had to be aborted after 20 minutes, when a large
dog appeared, barking, and generally making a nuisance of itself.
During the short time I was there, I saw three little stints, female
little bittern, a reed warbler and a grey wagtail. The only photo
was across the water shortly after sunrise, with some geese and a
couple of little grebe showing up in the sunlit water.
|We placed an old soup
bowl in the garden a few weeks ago, keeping it filled with water.
Today, 18th, we had our first visitor to the bowl – a
female chaffinch, as below.
|There is a stretch of
beach between Kavros and Petres (Roy will remember), which has
proved very productive for birds at certain times of the year. Now
is such a time, so an early evening visit was made to see what was
there on 22nd. A few photos below to record a single glossy ibis
perched atop a tree with squacco herons, a small flock of redshank
with one or two caught in odd positions! A new Crete bird (for me)
was then next up – turnstones. I found six in all and managed five
in one photo. Other birds seen included sandwich tern, common
sandpiper, wood sandpiper, grey heron and little egret.
|Margaret joined me for
a return visit the following evening. The turnstones were still
there, little–ringed plovers and a grey heron. Then coming in off
the sea was a curlew/whimbrel. Distant to start with, it eventually
came much close – a whimbrel; a very pleasing sight and only our
second sighting on Crete.
Many red-backed and woodchat shrikes present now.
Turnstones still
present on 3rd visit, plus single little egret, as below.
On 25th we hired a jeep for the day and made our way to the mountain refuge called Toubotos Prinos – on the southern slopes of Psiloritis. It's two years since our last trip there, and again we took grandson, Alex, who enjoyed the open-top trip on precipitous mountain tracks. Sighting and photographing short-toed treecreepers was high on my agenda, but alas it was only the former. One good sighting by me, and about six between Margaret and Alex, during the period we split up to explore the area. Little did we realise that in this remote area the church of Aghias Titos celebrates its name day today! We must have encountered 40 or 50 cars and trucks enroute to the church, and then many more who ventured on towards the mountain refuge – where we were! Other birds seen included griffon, raven, kestrel, blue rock thrush, jay, spotted flycatcher, northern and black-eared wheatears, goldfinch and Britain's two most common birds were also common here – wren and chaffinch.
On 26th I
located two lesser grey shrikes in different locations – Drapanos
Head and Kalivaki. All photos were distant until one surprised me by
landing on an overhead cable, just as I was leaving Kalivaki.
|27th and
another lesser grey shrike behind the Viewpoint. I walked to this
area from home as today was cloudy with rain threatening. My first
autumn sighting of hoopoe, and for the first time this year, I
managed a photo of one.
|29th gives
us our first view of lesser grey shrike from the house, and this
after an unproductive drive to the Ano Mallaki area. We needn't have
travelled so far. Enroute, near Kavros, Margaret spotted a flock of
little egrets with a single glossy ibis amongst them. She thought
she saw them come down near the rivermouth (turnstone territory), so
we stopped off for a look on our return. No egrets, but about 20
purple herons and a couple of grey herons in the same tree as last
week's squacco herons and glossy ibis. As we approached, and still
quite distant, they took off – not 20, but nearer 80 of them, mostly
purple. Some great photo opportunites.
|This month has been
the best August for birding that we have experienced here. It got
better today, 30th, when Alex and I went back to the same beach
area. 15 purple herons still present, and then a flock of c70 glossy
ibis out over the bay.
|Alex was quick to spot another
flock of smaller birds flying low over the water. They were joined
by another, forming a massive flock – easily in excess of a thousand
birds. When they soared it became evident that they were pintails.
|As we left we watched a couple of small plovers
picking their way along the stony beach. I dismissed them as
little-ringed plovers as they flew further away, and only one photo
was possible. Back home with the laptop, I now thought these were
Kentish plovers, but was unsure. (Thanks to Colin Turvey for
confirmation). I returned to the beach in the afternoon and managed
several photos of these birds, which were a first for me on Crete,
and even got a shot of them flying along the coast. Back home again
with the laptop, and I now find that apart from little-ringed
plovers accompanying the Kentish plovers, there was a single ringed
plover – only my second sighting of this species.
|So, a good week and a good month.
The Egyptian
grasshopper is a large specimen with striped eyes. It's quite common
here. We have previously seen this species in its nymph form, but
today we got two in different colours.
|We rarely go through
the summer without a few wasp nests around the house or in shrubs.
By our back steps a nest has been developing very slowly – much
slower than usual. A picture below of this small species of wasp
(paper wasp/polistes gallicus) at their nest.
This morning (15th), I arrived downstairs to the call of "Houston – we have a problem!" Margaret had opened the doors onto our covered terrace for breakfast, only to find a sizeable rat hiding behind the top end of one of the shutters. Our three cats had given up on the chase, and so it was left to me. I thought it would be easy, but the rat had other ideas, choosing to hide behind what ever it could find, rather than leave the terrace. Eventually it disappeared down the drain hole, which we quickly blocked up – and had breakfast!
Footnote. A couple of years ago, we found that a family of mice had built a nest under the bonnet of the car, eventually interfering with the air-con flow. It was a costly job to renew some filters etc. We hope there is no repetition, as the drain pipe this month's rat entered, empties where the car is parked!
The carpenter bee is a
common insect around our house – large and noisy, it can be quite
scary at times, but is not usually one to sting. The one shown below
had recently died, so not the best specimen to show, but at least
Margaret got close to it for her picture. About two years ago she
was actually bitten by a carpenter bee. It had settled on her top
behind her shoulder. Feeling some movement, she must have touched
it, and it stung her. We don't trust them anymore!
|The Balkan green
lizard is common here too – and sometimes they let you get quite
|Our trip on 25th
to the Toubotos Prinos refuge gave us many sightings of one
particular butterfly. It was large, fast flying and restless, and
photos only possible from a few metres distance. After research, we
identified this species as silver-washed fritillary (argynnis paphia).
|A walk from the house
towards the Viewpoint meant crossing at a ford. Normally all but dry
this time of year, today it had water to a depth of at least half a
metre. I asked Margaret to cross first, just for the record!
|Where the water was still, banded demoiselles were
flying around. One was captured with its wings open.
At last! A flower to
show you. Nothing new, but a short flowering period means these
lovely daffodils can be missed – usually found in sandy areas behind
the beaches.
Despite the long hot
summer, we occasionally come across some beautiful hillsides full of
colour. The picture below shows what a difference the lilac hue of
common thyme makes to this particular hillside above Imbros.
|From behind the
mountain refuge of Toubotos Prinos, the bare upper slopes of Mt.
Psiloritis (2,456m) are clearly visible, with some bold way-marking
for the intrepid climber.
|Our descent had fabulous
views – this one from some way below the highest point we drove up
|I am now seeing fewer
birds at the "turnstone beach", but thought I would capture the view
to be had at the point where the little river meets the sea.

ROCKFORD — A lighted cable-stayed bridge with center masts towering 80 feet above the Rock River, arched walkways linking the bridge and a boat dock, and an open-air amphitheater are a few features of the city's long-awaited downtown riverwalk.
ROCKFORD — A lighted cable-stayed bridge with center masts towering 80 feet above the Rock River, arched walkways linking the bridge and a boat dock, and an open-air amphitheater are a few features of the city's long-awaited downtown riverwalk.
Construction on the project, which started in 2006 with conceptual planning, is set to begin later this year.
City leaders are set to approve a second phase of engineering next week that will produce the construction plans necessary for a summer bid letting.
Construction is expected to cost about $5 million, which includes $3.4 million from state grants. The city will make up the difference with Motor Fuel Tax funds that have been set aside during the past three years.
The 200-foot cable-stayed bridge was worked into the plan as a "wow factor" after hearing from residents and neighborhood stakeholders at public meetings regarding the project design, said Capital Improvement Program Manager Patrick Zuroske.
"The No. 1 item that everyone asked that the project have was a 'wow factor,'" Zuroske said. "They wanted the project to have a vertical element that was going to catch your eye, something that would create a stimulating visual environment as well as serving as a gathering place for the community and a place to have a connection with the river."
By the time the riverwalk project breaks ground in late 2010, a $10 million joint museum expansion effort will have wrapped up.
Links with museum campus
That project will add 15,000 square feet to the Discovery Center Museum and Burpee Museum of Natural History, a 5,000-square-foot shared exhibit hall, and revamp the museums' riverfront real estate with terraces of walkways, gardens, kiosks and gathering places.
The Riverfront Museum Campus, home of the Discovery Center and Burpee, is owned by the Rockford Park District, which will be responsible for ongoing day-to-day maintenance of the riverwalk, such as snowplowing.
The bridge, raised arched walkways and pedestrian pathways on Park District property will be plowed regularly just like the Sinnissippi Recreation Path on the opposite side of the river that attracts runners and walkers year-round, said Park District CEO Tim Dimke.
Attraction for city
Dimke anticipates the riverwalk will become an attraction for area residents and visitors.
"Our citizens desire the best, and they deserve the best," Dimke said. "This is going to be accessible. It's going to connect everything together. It's going to be awesome. Our citizens want world-class. This is their Disney World. ... A lot of the funds used here are private and state dollars or money earmarked specifically for this kind of work. We can't express our appreciation enough to the city for spearheading this project and committing to creating something of value."
Boost for Burpee
The arched walkways and bridge will be at the edge of Burpee's backyard, an added bonus for the museum, said Executive Director Alan Brown.
"Everything is going to flow nicely into each other from our new addition to the amphitheater to the boat dock and the pier," Brown said. "We're very excited. We see kiosks down there where people can buy a Coke or some cotton candy, where people can come down and enjoy our new terrace and stroll down to the river. The cable lighting can be changed to match the holidays. The bridge itself will become a photo opportunity for people."
People 'drawn to water'
Kimberly Wheeler Johnsen, executive director of the River District Association, said she's thrilled with the eye-popping bridge design and equally excited about the project's push toward construction.
"I'm glad were getting into the more tangible parts of the project," Johnsen said. "People are drawn to water. This is going to be a really big asset to our community. It's going to be nice to have something that people drive by and say 'Wow, that's really cool,' and 'Hey, look at that. Let's go down there.' We wanted a stunning factor, and we're happy it's in there."
Alderman critical
Only one alderman, Pat Curran, objected to the bridge design at Monday's committee meeting calling the bridge's design "unimpressive."
"You take this beautiful project and then you have this thing sticking way up," Curran said. "I look at the renderings, and it just doesn't fit."

I am glad to present you the re-release of Paradisoterrestre thanks to Mr. Gherardo Tonelli,
a dear friend of mine, who wants to keep on following my father's path, Dino Gavina,
by retracing his footsteps on the thread of his sign.
Ilka Alessandra Gavina
Every metaphysical paradise has got its history, its landscape and its beauty as well.
According to the religious and literature tradition, Paradise on Earth is a place where divine and human merge and where the human being, aspiring to the Absolute, contemplates its transcendent dimension and shapes the world around him with his sign in order to reach it.
During the end of the Seventies the adventure of Paradisoterrestre was thought by the eclectic and revolutionary Dino Gavina, unique figure as publisher, entrepreneur, client, collector-patron, cultural operator with his own an aesthetic project.
Catalyst of creativeness, Gavina made the dialogue between design and art his distinguishing mark: he collaborated with the most important designers of his age as well as with the "heretical artists", followers of schools such as Dadaism and Surrealism, never satisfied of the existent, always doing research and innovation, dictating the new canons of the visual culture and aesthetic experience.
From 1983 to 2007 Paradisoterrestre has produced artworks by Kazuhide Takahama, Marcel Breuer, Man Ray, Giacomo Balla, Dino Gavina, Carlo Scarpa, Tobia Scarpa, Alan Irvine and Luigi Caccia Dominioni both for indoors and outdoors, with a particular fondness of the so-called urban furniture.
Gavina was the responsible for each manufactured model, the real point of reference from the project development up to its production. His experience of several decades, side by side with the greatest masters, the way he put poetry as centre of the artwork, the way he felt art and culture as sources of inspiration for every single object, made him decline the Avantgarde tensions on an industrial scale, applying the principles of ready made to design artworks.
By means of Paradisoterrestre he demonstrated that industrial production could be at the same or even better level of the craftsmen's works, thanks to the intrinsic guaranteed quality by the implemented processes and above all by the industrial materials, thus making the impossible dreams of designers and artists come true.
After 10 years from his death and thanks to Gherardo Tonelli's passion, Paradisoterrestre comes back to life, giving light to an immaterial heritage of a brand, which left major signs on design history in Italy.
In this new beginning Paradisoterrestre submits its catalogue – ranging from historical to innovative works – which has as its own characteristics the cornerstones of Gavina's visionary and anticipatory experience: dialogue between art and design; production in limited edition; excellence of the production quality; handwork tradition applied on an industrial scale; language and aesthetic experimentation.
Therefore, besides celebrity pieces such as Fiori Futuristi by Giacomo Balla or Mantilla Sofa by Kazuhide Takahama, new products come out, issued by the same spirit and philosophy, such as the collection The Other Side and All Around by the French designer Pierre Gonalons or the vases Altabella 23 – Portare acqua al mare dedicated to Carlo Scarpa by the young artists Calori & Maillard.
At present Paradisoterrestre is above all a method which puts as a focus the following relations: between the object and the environment where it will be inserted, between the designer and the manufacturer, between the artist's creative identifying mark and the sure touch of craftsmen and developers who translate that mark in something real, between the pure creative and the industrial dimension, always keeping as the datum point the project symbolic value as well as the mark of the human being acting on the environment around him.
