Earlier in the year when Facebook bought Instagram, it sent out clear signals about its expansion in the social media space.
It also meant that the competition would escalate and the recent move of Instagram pulling out its photo-streaming services from Twitter proved just that.
Twitter's announcement of adding eight new filters (which mimics Instagrams capabilities) which followed soon after, made it amply clear that the competition between the two social media network is set to soar.
What does this mean for marketers who often leverage these photo-sharing apps in their marketing campaigns? According to Keith Timimi, chairman of VML Qais, data shows that in most markets, Twitter is still ahead of Instagram but the usage of the latter is accelerating at a substantial speed.
"Right now, Twitter is still best for working with influencers, Instagram rules user generated content and mobile photos, Pinterest is the place for curating photos and driving eCommerce, while Tumblr is the home of reblogging and the highly under-rated animated gif," Timimi added.
He cautioned that in the upcoming year marketers and agencies all need to watch the space closely even if no one is "expecting Twitter to take over the photo space, or Instagram to become the ruler of real-time news."
Ernest Kim, planning director of XM Asia Pacific showed skepticism when it came to Twitter's new photo filters saying the photo filters is not going win users over from Instagram.
However, Kim added that the rapid changes in the social media space pose a challenge to marketers who need to stay abreast of all these changes to better reach out to the online audience.
"The perpetual uncertainty can be scary for marketers accustomed to largely static traditional media," Kim said adding that a great idea should not be beholden to the vicissitudes of a specific platform.
"When it gets down to the nitty-gritty of executing ideas in the digital space, success or failure can be contingent on the inner workings of platforms over which we have no control."
According to Kim while the move towards "walled gardens is depressing," it is an indication of the maturation of the social media industry.

You're Eating More Than You Think: Study Reveals How Bad We Are At Judging Portion Size
In response to our obesity epidemic, psychologists have been trying to figure out when and why people overeat. There were the secretly refilling soup bowls, from which experimental subjects ate huge amounts of soup without realizing it. Unstandardized restaurant portions are growing by the year, and evidence suggests that people basically unthinkingly consume whatever's on their plate, however large that is.
Here's some more bad news: even when you eat at home, you may be judging volumes of food inaccurately. Researchers at Penn State used cereal as a test food, crushing up some batches so that the flakes were smaller than usual, and asking experimental participants to serve themselves:
As the size of the flakes got smaller, the participants poured smaller volumes of cereal into the bowl. But despite the smaller volume size, the participants were actually consuming more weight and energy content. The subjects, however, believed that they consumed about the same number of calories each time.
"When faced with decreasing volumes of cereal, the people took less cereal," Prof. Rolls says. "Yet, even though they thought they were taking the same number of calories, they ended up significantly overeating."
In other words, even though the experiment participants realized that the smaller flake cereal would be denser, and even though they compensated by serving themselves a smaller volume of cereal, they still overshot their portions in terms of calories. Unfortunately, even eating even a small number of extra calories per day can really add up to lifetime weight creep. Oops.
The moral of the story: eyeballing it just doesn't work. Get out those measuring cups and make absolutely sure that you're eating what you think you're eating, every time. Springing for more expensive individually-portioned portioned foods may be worth it, if it keeps you from having to lose weight later... as long as you don't eat multiples to compensate. And never, ever eat your cereal while reading from the box, because we all know that that's the best way to turn one quick and "healthy" bowl into four.

|Home >> LCD TV
You are probably familiar with LCD or Liquid Crystal Display being used as computer monitors. HDTV LCDs are very similar but at much larger screen sizes and much more expensive. LCDS have millions of little elements that are either turned on or turned off to generate a RGB or Red, Green and Blue color. If an element is turned on, the light is merged with other elements in a cell to generate color. This process presents a very colorful high resolution image.
LCDs display near perfect HDTV images at their corresponding resolution. Most LCD TVs have a native resolution of 1,280x768 pixels. This is a great resolution to display 720p (progressive) HDTV. LCDs are completely flat which gives much better image geometry then CRT screens for example. There are also no screen flicker effect that some CRTs at higher resolution may produce. This will reduce or eliminate eye strain.
Probably the best feature of LCDs is their weight and size. Even at large screen sizes (30" or more) they weigh very little and are usually very thin. This allows you to hang the entire LCD on your wall just like a large framed picture. And if you, like myself, tend to rearrange your tv room often, this will be a huge benefit to you.
LCDs are also very energy efficient do not have the radiation emissions compared to a CRT. This is why you often see LCDs used in cars such as minivans. You can easily run an LCD off of battery power. Although LCDs are much more expensive you will save on your electric bill which may cover the extra cost depending on how often you use your television.
Since LCDs are purely digital, you can easily hook your computer to them. This will give you a very excellent computer image to work with. If you want to watch movie, it is as simple as pushing a button on your remote. Most LCDs (and TVs for that matter) come with picture in a picture feature. Imagine surfing the net while watching your favorite sporting event, in total High Definition. LCDs are the main reason you now see many media center PCs advertised.
A disadvantage of LCDs is the viewing angle. The perfect image will be displayed to the person sitting right in front of it. If you view it from an angle the image will probably not be as bright and clear. However, this is being improved all the time and most higher end models give you a very nice large viewing angle. When shopping for an LCD HDTV or monitor you will want to take note of its viewing angle. You will also want an LCD with a high contrast ratio.
Another disadvantage of LCDs is when displaying lower resolution signals such as normal analog broadcasts or a VHS signal from your VCR. Since LCDs use a pure fixed resolution, you will notice a blockyness type effect on these lower resolution signals. Even when viewing standard digital television (SDTV) you will probably see the compression artifacts. For these reason I only recommend an LCD if you will be viewing EDTV such as 480p output from your DVD player or a pure HDTV 720p or higher signal.
As I said earlier, the largest disadvantage of LCDs are the price. This is why most LCDs on the market max out their screen size to about 46-52 ". But if you wanting the best image at the smallest weight and size, then this is the type of HDTV for you.

Very moisturizing throughout the night. Gave skin a nice glow!
No, I do not recommend this product.
Great product...but am I the only one that has trouble putting the lid back on after I use it....such a pain in the butt....wish they would change the lid design
With my fair skin I have a lot of problems with dryness and dark marks. I was somewhat skeptical about using this product because I have a lot of problems with breaking out when I try new things on my skin.After about a week of using it I noticed how great my skin was starting to look and feel. My dark marks were fading and my skin felt really moisturized.(This moisturizer also smells really good, so that's a plus too!)The only drawback to this product is my skin feels somewhat tacky after putting it on, and when I'm laying on my pillow my face kind of sticks to it.

Press Releases
Moco Museum appoints Cas Boland as its new commercial director
As of February 1st 2019, Cas Boland will be Moco Museum's Commercial Director.
In his new role Boland will be responsible for the Amsterdam museum's marketing, communication, sales and customer experience. He will work directly with Moco's founders and owners, Kim and Lionel Logchies.
Kim Logchies: "In the last three years we have firmly put Moco on the map. Visitor numbers and customer satisfaction levels confirm that. Furthermore, the 'reception' of our most recent exhibition, Connecting Time, by Daniel Arsham, proves that we are breaking new ground. With Cas strengthening our team we expect to push our plans for future growth even further."
Cas Boland
Boland (1979) previously worked as Head of Marketing at the Van Gogh Museum since September 2015. Earlier he fulfilled a similar role at TivoliVredenburg, the city of Utrecht's music centre. Boland also enjoyed a successful career as a professional DJ, performing at many (inter) national festivals and was co-owner of a record label. In 2018 he won the 'Digital Marketing Professional Award 2018'.
Boland: "Moco has established a strong, innovative and distinctive profile in a very short time. It has shown that it can inspire many people through the art it exhibits and the innovative, original way in which this art is presented. Together with Moco's enterprising, ambitious and creative team, I can't wait to embark on the fantastic challenge of further expanding the brand and its beautiful content offline and online, nationally and internationally."
Moco Museum
Moco Museum is a boutique museum located on Museum Square in Amsterdam, founded in 2016 by Kim and Lionel Logchies. With 550,000 visitors in 2018, the museum is currently in the Top 7 of Holland's most popular museums. Moco presents a wide range of modern and contemporary art and its permanent collection consists of works by Banksy, Warhol, Basquiat, Koons, Kusama, Hirst & Dali, among others. Recently Moco Museum presented the exhibition, 'Connecting Time' by Daniel Arsham (NYC). This makes the Moco Museum the first museum in the Netherlands to exhibit Arsham's work.
Moco Museum presents: Daniel Arsham – Connecting Time
From January 18th until September 30th 2019, Moco Museum in Amsterdam is hosting New York-based artist Daniel Arsham's solo show 'Connecting Time'. Arsham's work draws on a range of disciplines, incorporating architecture, design, sculpture, film and performance. Moco Museum is the first museum in the Netherlands to present Daniel Arsham's work.
Entering the installation spaces of this exhibition, such as Amethyst Ball Cavern and Eroded Wall Paper Room, feels like stepping into an alternate reality. The artist's fascination with pop culture objects, sports and the influence of archeology are apparent in these spaces. The show also includes Arsham's never before presented interactive installation Calcified Room, consisting of a domestic space furnished in mid-century style but created to appear strangely petrified. The calcified room is evocative of a cave interior scaled with minerals, or the city of Pompeii, eternally preserved in ash.
"For my first museum scale exhibition in the Netherlands, I am excited to partner with Moco Museum to present a selection of my work spanning the last 10 years of my career. I've created some new and never before seen works and installations for this show and am very looking forward to share my practice with the Dutch people and international audience in Amsterdam", says Arsham.
Surrealistic setting
'Connecting Time' is a survey show with works spanning Arsham's entire career. Included are four at first glance 'conventional' architectural interventions that subtly manipulate the physical environment to create surrealistic settings. Fitness gear and objects rooted in pop culture are presented in eroded form as though excavated from some archaeological site, while swaddled animalistic figures recall the work of Christo or Man Ray, but with a playful, childlike twist.
This exhibition is organised in collaboration with Daniel Arsham and in partnership with Galerie Perrotin and Galerie Ron Mandos.
About Daniel Arsham
Daniel Arsham (United States, 1980) is a New York-based artist whose work explores the realms of architecture, design, sculpture, film and fine art. Achieving his first success as a stage designer, Arsham and his architectural firm Snarkitecture quickly began collaborating with renowned artists, musicians, designers and brands. He is the first and only artist-in-residence at Adidas, and gained widespread fame following his recent collaboration with Pharrell Williams. A central element in Arsham's work is the concept of fictional archaeology. He creates ambiguous spaces and situations, and conflates past, present and future by presenting millennial-era objects in calcified form. He is also interested in experimenting with the timelessness of symbolic objects and customs across different cultures. Arsham has received prestigious international awards for his work, which has been shown at MoMA PS1 in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami, the Athens Biennale, the New Museum in New York, the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, the SCAD Museum of Art, Carré d'Art de Nîmes and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia, among others.

In addition to its own MoCollection and pieces by big-name artist Banksy, which are on permanent display, the museum has also mounted solo shows featuring Andy Warhol, Salvador Dalí, Roy Lichtenstein and ICY & SOT. Moco Museum is dedicated to showcasing radical pioneers and influencers of modern artistic movements such as Street Art and Pop Art. A private initiative of Lionel and Kim Logchies, Moco Museum occupies Villa Alsberg on Museumplein and welcomes more than 500.000 visitors a year. The exhibition of Daniel Arsham's work will be on view from January 18th 2019.

Moco's ICY and SOT exhibition 'A Moment of Clarity'
In June this year, Amsterdam's Moco Museum opens a new exhibition featuring the work of Iranian street art brothers ICY and SOT. To complete the bill, Moco has chosen influencer and art lover Anna Nooshin as the exhibition's co-curator. Also Iranian by birth, Nooshin has been deeply affected by the works of ICY and SOT.
The young Iranian brothers Icy (34) and Sot (29) have been nicknamed the 'Iranian Banksy' for good reason. Their work is highly controversial and has even been banned in their native country. But the street artists' work holds up a critical mirror to today's society, offering an unconventional take on such themes as suppression, the environment, freedom, war and dreams. The two brothers' talent has not gone unnoticed and they quickly gained an opportunity to swap the streets of Tabriz for the bright lights of New York.
The brothers proved an instant hit among admiring art lovers in the Big Apple. But their inevitable success has not been without its sacrifices. By seizing success in America with both hands, they have forfeited the right to return to their native country…
We can now say with confidence that ICY and SOT did not give up a future in their home country in vain. They have had several exhibitions in New York and are well on their way to achieving international acclaim. Very recently, the artists again became the talk of the town thanks to their Dirty Money installation on Wall Street. The brothers hit out at the greed and volatility of capitalism by placing a gigantic crumpled dollar bill at the heart of the financial district.
About the collaboration
Moco founder Kim Logchies knew from their very first meeting that Anna Nooshin was the perfect match for the Moco Museum and its works and she was determined that the two should collaborate. The choice of ICY and SOT was a joint decision. Anna's story is similar to that of ICY and SOT but it was her personal taste, natural affinity with and curiosity for art that persuaded Kim to enlist Anna as co-curator for this extraordinary exhibition.
Kim Logchies:
"Anna was deeply touched, which was a joy to experience."
Anna identified with the two brothers who also fled from their native country of Iran. Like them, she has also succeeded in moving on from a difficult start in life and achieving a positive and inspirational turnaround. In early March, Anna and Kim travelled to New York to meet the artists and select works for the exhibition. Anna is involved in the whole creative process.
This summer, Moco Museum brings the work of Icy and Sot to Amsterdam to adorn the walls of the museum, alongside Banksy. The works that will feature in the ICY and SOT exhibition are being chosen by Kim Logchies and Anna Nooshin. Sharing the same themes, the exhibition is not only an excellent match for Banksy's work, but will also enrich the museum's existing collection!
ICY and SOT – 'A Moment of Clarity'
From 1 June 2018 until the end of October 2018.
'The Moco Museum unveils new work by Marcel Wanders to mark its second anniversary'
To celebrate its second anniversary this month, the Moco Museum will be unveiling 'Portrait', a new work by Marcel Wanders designed especially for Moco.
'Portrait' – Marcel Wanders
Artist Marcel Wanders has interpreted the sheer dedication and ambition of adult existence as a rocking, rotating egg that transforms into a wall of wishes. The sculpture heralds a new start and has been presented by the artist as a gift to the city of Amsterdam. Thoroughly poetic and dreamy, the work symbolizes that inner longing we all feel within us. Viewed from a distance, the egg evokes images of a landscape of dreams. On the top of its marble base, the wishpin is engraved as a reminder of our eternal ambitions and our belief in what is possible.
The work is an organic cork object with an imposing presence, and, according to the artist, represents warm and unconditional dreams. These dreams, wishes and goals can be sealed within the work using so-called wishpins. The pins are marked with the letter M for Moco Museum/Marcel, or viewed upside down, W for wishpin/Wanders. Make a Wish!
The wishpins are available in the museum gift shop – visitors can insert a pin into the artwork themselves and have their dreams fulfilled. The proceeds from wishpin sales will be used to make Moco Magic donations to good causes with which the museum has a special bond. These include such organizations as Movement on the Ground and the AIDS Fund.
This extraordinary work will be unveiled in the Moco garden in Amsterdam's Museumplein on 23 April.
About Moco
In 2017, more than 400,000 visitors crossed the threshold at Villa Alsberg to enter the wonderful world of modern and contemporary art. The most popular attraction is street art legend Banksy.
Since the museum opened in 2016, it has featured iconic works by leading international artists. Alongside Banksy, the museum has exhibited works by such greats as Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali. The current exhibition features pop art icon Roy Lichtenstein.
The museum's primary mission is to highlight the radical leaders and influencers of modern art movements (including street art and pop art). Featuring exciting exhibitions and high-profile guest curators, Moco appeals to a wide public.
Moco is a private initiative of Lionel and Kim Logchies, owners of the Lionel Gallery in Amsterdam's Nieuwe Spiegelstraat. The couple have devoted more than 18 years to the works of leading names in the international world of art, ranging from Pablo Picasso to Jeff Koons and from Damien Hirst to Jean Michel Basquiat.
Establishing Moco has enabled them to feature prize exhibits that are normally beyond the reach of the general public. A wide range of works have been made available on loan to the museum thanks to its international network of initiators.
ROY LICHTENSTEIN – "Lasting Influence"
New exhibition at Moco Museum Amsterdam
November 3, 2017 – May 31, 2018
Starting from November 2017 Moco Museum presents an exhibition of Roy Lichtenstein, one of the greatest contemporary art interpreters and a master of Pop Art. The influence of Roy Lichtenstein's art is still evident in many forms of artistic expression: from painting to advertising, from photography to design and fashion.
You recognize his works at first glance: he has become part of the unconscious cultural heritage to all of us.
Roy Lichtenstein has a 'Lasting Influence', he was the first to put Mickey Mouse in a painting before Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol and numerous others did. The applications you have seen in the current daily fashion image is a direct translation of Roy Lichtenstein's work.
The exhibition at Moco is curated by the Italian Gianni Mercurio (curator of shows about Keith Haring, Jean Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein) and Mirta d'Argenzio (curator of a retrospective of Damien Hirst and Robert Rauschenberg) with active participation of Kim and Lionel Logchies, founders of Moco Museum. The exhibition, organized by Moco on Madeinart project presents, through a large selection of editions like the famous Brushstrokes, Imperfects and Still lifes from European and American collections, the conspicuous themes treated by the great American artist.
Starting with images taken from advertisements by the newspaper and objects of everyday life, he discovered cartoons as both inspiration and source-material for his art. His preferred material was romance or war-inspired, which reinterpreted by Lichtenstein are supplied with irony.
Lichtenstein explained his choice of comic frames for his works in these words: "From the beginning, I felt that comic-strip painting had to be de-personalised. It had to express great emotions – passion, fear, violence – in an impersonal, removed and mechanical manner" […]
"I try to look for something that says something mysterious, or absurd, or obvious or extremely simple or extremely complicated. Something visually or if there are words to it – something that when it's a painting and not a part of a comic strip that it will strike you as funny…or…usually funny. ……….. It's the drama and heroics and of course, none of the consequences – we still think of war that way."
The Lichtenstein exhibition at Moco Museum will include a 3D interior room installation based on Lichtenstein's painting "Bedroom at Arles", which he made in 1992 after a postcard of Van Gogh's famous "The Artist's Room at Arles" (1888-89). A 3D installation of VAN GOGH 's painting was last presented at the Van Gogh museum in 2000.
Roy Lichtenstein said about his version of the Arles Room:
l've cleaned his room up a little bit for him; and he'll be very happy when he gets home from the hospital to see that l've straightened his shirts and bought some new furniture. Mine is a rather large painting and his is rather small. His is much better, but mine is much bigger.
Lichtenstein's art seems apparently "easy" to understand. But beyond the surface it is an intellectual, rationalistic art, premeditated and realized through a complex process of deconstruction and reconstruction of the image: bold lines associated with flat colors, thousands of regular dots, a magnified halftone screen, that suggests the idea of chiaroscuro and even the impression of reflections of light.
From the beginning Roy Lichtenstein's sophisticated art has had an uninterrupted power of seduction on visual culture and communication, whose end is still far off.
In 1965 Lichtenstein made the first Brushstrokes, paintings that as one isolated object reproduce one or more brush strokes: "The Brushstroke was the way of portraying this romantic and bravura symbol in its opposite style, classicism. The Brushstroke plays a big part in the history of art. Brushstroke almost means painting or art"
Abstract gestures and brushstrokes had already been of interest to Lichtenstein in the '50s and were to be seen again in his work in the '80s, but with a new sense of freedom. The "frozen" brushstroke of the sixties melts away in a disorganized and subtle sign, with which he tackles inspired famous themes like The Sower by Vincent Van Gogh and the series Woman by Willem de Kooning. Here we can appreciate the artist's attraction to self-referencing.
After the "heroic" age of pop, the Sixties, Lichtenstein looked at the genres and masters of the great art of the past, to reinterpret it through the filter of his poetry and his technique, from landscape, to still life, to pastiche and from Mondrian, to Picasso, to Matisse and Brancusi.
The exhibition also presents a selection of spectacular large size editions from the series "Imperfect Paintings", which testimonies an incursion of the artist into geometric abstraction: with his subtle irony the artist defines those works as a commentary on "the dumbest abstraction you could think of, an abstract painting by someone without any idea or motivation. It's about setting up rules and not obeying them".

2 Negatives And 1 Big Positive For Offshore Oil And Gas
A flurry of news this week in the offshore oil and gas industry. Showing that this key energy sub-sector is going through some unprecedented challenges — which are quietly providing some great opportunities.
Much of the recent news in this space centered on the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GOM). With this go-to offshore play seeing not one, but two major companies pull back from drilling.
The first was ConocoPhillips. Which announced it has made a strategic decision to stop all exploration in the GOM — cutting some $800 million in spending here.
That was quickly followed by fellow major Marathon Oil announcing it will sell its interest in several Gulf of Mexico producing fields. The buyer wasn't named, but the interest are significant — being valued at $205 million.
Both of those deals are a "sign of the times" in the Gulf right now. With many U.S.-based firms pulling back from higher-risk offshore exploration, to re-focus on onshore shale plays.
In fact, the CEO of Gulf-based offshore drilling firm Hercules said this week that exploration and development activity across the play is "lower today than at any time since the early days of the offshore drilling industry." Hercules itself has just emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, triggered by a steep fall in drilling business.
But that may create some opportunities for still-standing offshore E&Ps. In places like Colombia — where the government said this week it will cut income taxes by 25% on offshore oil and gas projects, and offer a complete exemption from value-added taxes, in order to spur drilling.
It's also an important note that not all offshore plays are seeing a lack of drilling interest. Officials in Ireland said this week they have been forced to delay awarding of offshore licenses in the Atlantic — after a bid round drew higher-than-expected interest.
Ireland's Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources said that more than half of the 291 blocks offered in the round were subject to more than one bid — by "some very big names" in industry. Officials had been hoping to award licenses by year-end, but now say they will be forced to wait until Q1 2016 to sort through all of the bids.
All showing that things are still active in the right places in the offshore business. Which may offer some great opportunities, as governments offer better terms and competition gets leaner amid the current downturn.
Here's to offshoring,

Almost 20 years after he founded Alibaba, the Amazon of China, Executive Chairman Jack Ma plans to retire to focus on philanthropy, according to a report.
In an interview with The New York Times, Ma said it was time for him to focus on his first passion: education. Ma plans to remain on the board of directors of the Chinese e-commerce giant, which he co-founded in 1999 and which turned him into the richest man in China as of Friday.
However, in a report from the South China Morning Post Saturday (which Alibaba owns), a company spokesperson said that Ma plans to "unveil a succession strategy" next week that will have him directly involved with the company for an unspecified period of time. Alibaba has a group called the "Alibaba Partnership" that consists of 36 executives responsible for planning strategy and culture, according to the SCMP, and Ma intends to remain in that group for life.
Ma has been backing away from Alibaba over the past few years, stepping down as chief executive officer in 2013 but remaining very involved in the company's strategic planning, according to the Times. But the company he founded has had a profound impact on Chinese society and business, although it has struggled to expand its reach outside of China.
In the interview, Ma cited the path Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has followed in his post-tech career focused on philanthropy. In 2016, Ma actually joined Gates and a few other tech luminaries in a clean-tech investment fund, and he has long advocated for educational reform that would help produce more entrepreneurial students both inside and outside of China.
(Editor's note: This post was updated after a subsequent report from the South China Morning Post.)

If you add a splitter, verify you are not using one rated for < 1GHz as this will filter out the MoCA signal. If the splitter is within spec, it still may not work since you are inducing a 3.5dB loss (less than half of the original signal strength). If all else fails, move router back to original location.

We were lucky for the day of the outdoor shoot — temps were at least 30 degrees. But man, three hours later, still felt like frostbite was setting in. And the rest of the crew felt the same. So yes, all things considered, I'm happy that a music video turned out of this shoot.

We can scrape off the stress as we are impressed by the marvelous melodies of our magnificent moments. So as you sit, sleep or stand wiggle your feet like you are listening to a band. Shift your hips from side to side like the electric slide. Laugh, love and live your life to the fullest. Use your clever mind and pull joy's lever and surely you will have fun forever!

Words of Hope 25
It's a water day. On weekends when I feel ill. The water helps calm me. Like a massage against my skin, a warmth to my muscles. It makes me want to sleep away the last few hours before the sun rises. To wake and return to life refreshed. That is the life, one where I feel blessed.
Sleepy – A New Universe of Cancer
I've been very tired these last few days, sleepy tired. Sleepy like cute little kitty kitties. I'm fatigued now and I've only been up for a short time. I wanted to stay the night with my lady friend but I was too sleepy to drive over to her place. Its a different kind of tired, its a cleaner feeling, its not the bone crushing weakness of chemo. I would describe it as a softer, sleepier sensation. The kind where you want to snuggle under some sheets and curl into the some blankets till you fall asleep. The nausea and other unpleasant sensations are there as well, but aren't as bad as they were the other night.
If I could I would love to just sleep and sleep and sleep, but that's the road to bad things. My cats love to sleep but even they are social creatures. They need interaction and so do I. Though my cats may love me, I love people and much of my energy is formed from the relationships with others.
This journey has taken much of my ability to flutter like a social butterfly, but one day I intend to reclaim that skill. I think that once I can put all the feels of now into the feels of the past folder, all will be moving in the right direction.
Fatigue seems to be one of the many sources that steals away much of what I have in life. Fatigue and all those other unpleasant sensations. It is important to a have a shout out for all the other baddies.
If I were to guess why I was so tired? I'd say the problem lies in my nutrition. If I ever knew how to feed myself I no long know now. I don't even know what kind of groceries I should get when I get to the store.
When I get home I'm too tired to do anything with the food. I know the best way to get energy is to spend energy, but when you don't have any to spend, you can't make more. I'm not going to make wishes about this or that, but I will say that I am glad I was finally able to schedule an appointment with a clinical nutritionist on Monday.
This person is not going to be the end all be all, but they can be a start. I have the chance to improve my life through their education.
That's where I am not and why I didn't post over the weekend. I hope that you all are feeling super great and had fantastic adventures!

Cold Air of Cancer
Every choice we make has a price, from the softest simplest decisions to actions of incredible magnitude. When it comes to cancer the prices are inflated, no matter what we do, we will feel a great amount of agony. Although we can't escape the agony we can influence how much pain we are willing to pay to live. If you have never faced the big decisions of life and death, treatment or no treatment these concepts are truly impossible to understand. You might be able to fantasize about what you would or wouldn't do, but that's all they are, fantasies. I hope you never have to face the cold air of cancer to discover what you would actually do.
Lets dial it back a notch and imagine a simpler, easier place. Imagine laying on your comfortable bed, as you stretch and sprawl out you hear a soft pop. Now there is some slack in the fitted sheet beneath you because its has come loose from the corner. You lay there for a moment, you could get up and remake the bed and sure it might make the experience more comfortable, but you are going to lose the comfort you currently have. If it is a chilly morning you are guaranteed to experience the cold air outside your comfortable cocoon. In a lot of ways this is how cancer is. It sucks that the bed is slowly unraveling. However, if you try and fix it, you are guaranteed to lose something you currently have.
I love the warmth of my bed in the morning, feeling those soft clean linens around my body feels fantastic. Poking my foot into the cold air, then slowly sliding it under the warm blanket is such a magical sensation. This comparison reminds me of the first day I started coughing up blood. I was nestled in my bed, comfortably relaxing within my blanket burrito. The comfort slowly slipped away as I started coughing and hacking. Though I knew something bad was happening, I dreaded to see exactly what. My reluctance to reach into the cold air outside my cocoon has paralleled many terrifying moments of my cancer journey. There is peace not knowing. However there is horror in it too. Eventually a time comes when we are forced to face our misfortune and endure the cold air of our cancer.
When the time comes for you consider moving from your perfect pocket of warmth, ask yourself a few questions. What is the goal, what will you gain from this, what will it cost and will it be worth the sacrifice? In the journey of cancer we all have to a price to pay, that price isn't in money, it is in pain. How much pain are you willing to pay to live?
When we get up to fix the sheets it comes with a fair amount of discomfort. We have to give some to get some. With cancer it is much harsher, you have to give a lot to maybe get a lot. It is a gamble, the bed you make might not be the one you want to sleep in. Whatever you decide it is your choice, no one else can or should make it for you. When everything is said and done, you suffer with the consequences of your action or inaction. Whichever decision you make it comes with a hefty price, and when it comes to cancer there are no small prices to pay.
The cold air can haunt your dreams
Years ago when I first wrote this it was after having a nightmare. My sleepy time tunes should have been terrific, instead they were terrifying. My night time slumber land was wracked with terrible feels and dream sights.
The dark dream was set in my home. A terrible rain roared above, like a waterfall thick droplets soaked my roof. There was so much water the house couldn't keep up and so it began to pour into the attic and drip through the ceiling. The floor was covered in water and my basement was flooding. Everything was falling apart. No matter how much I worked to save my house it continued to fill.
I can remember distinctly feeling like no matter what I did, no matter what changes I made, the effects of the water would remain. There were moments in the dream when I was outside my house looking inside. I was both inside and outside at the same time. My outside-self watched as I fought the torrential downpour as it obliterated my home. As I watched I considered my options, I could let the rain do its thing and then reenter the home like nothing happened, or I could cut out the bad parts and treat the remaining wood with chemicals.
I was afraid of cutting it up and spraying it with chemicals, because I wasn't sure if I could handle that stress. Could I walk away from the home? Maybe instead I could just do nothing and let nature take its course? I knew with this kind of damage there was no way I could permanently fix it. I didn't want to leave my home, yet at the same time I didn't want to continuously struggle to fix it. Its a daunting task, especially when its destined to be destroyed. My home would be uncomfortable to live in with the warped floors and wet ceilings, but that life would be better than to have it cut up and gutted.
Sometimes our dreams process our fears and thoughts.
Our dreams grant us the opportunity to explore our world in another way. Its a time when we can see our life with the insight of our sleepy time eye. This nightmare was a reflection of the cold air outside of my blanket. I had just completed chemotherapy, the harm it had done was horrible and I was afraid of enduring it again.
The symbols in the dream were obvious, even within the first few minutes of waking up I knew what they represented. The water was the cancer and my home was my body. The dream was a conversation with myself, a dialogue between the deepest depths of my inside zones and the outer layers of my personality. It was an internal conversation and contract with myself to never again endure the horror of chemotherapy.
Make the right decisions for you and only you
It all comes down to making the right decisions for you. We all have to decide how much we are willing to endure. At what point are you done dealing with the hell of hardship? Is there a point when you call it quits and when you reach that point, what will you do?
No matter what you decide, select your treatment with considerable thought. How you will feel afterwards. What are you giving up to live, how much life do you need to have the experiences you want, and who's wants are you following?

GoFreelance.com: Still a scam?
Quite recently, I blogged about an email I received from Rob Palmer, the president of GoFreelance.com (formerly Freelance Work Exchange or FreelanceWorkExchange.com). He wanted to discuss posts that I have previously published on my blog in regards to writers' complaints about his company. The complaints primarily concern signing up for the trial membership and then not being able to log in and/or cancel.
Rather than debate the situation with him (no point — I'm not going to take anything down off my blog, as I think the complaints deserve their fair share of air time) I asked if I could publish his email address: One of the most common complaints about FWE was that members could never get a hold of anyone in order to resolve their complaints. Rob agreed to let me post his email address, so I added it as an update at the bottom of this post. If you have a complaint about GoFreelance.com, email Rob Palmer at the email address I posted, and let me know what happens!
This afternoon, though, I was playing around on Google (yes, I do that when I'm procrastinating), and I randomly decided to search for GoFreelance.com. Searching for "Freelance Work Exchange" brings up a myriad of complaints, which is I'm sure why the name was changed; I was wondering if any of the complaints had caught up with the elusive Rob Palmer yet.
Given Mr. Palmer's seeming concern to clear his company's name, I was shocked to find this: a rip-off report on GoFreelance.com, filed only a week ago. This is exactly the same kind of thing that was happening last summer with Freelance Work Exchange. Obviously Rob has not learned his lesson, not at all.
I'm leaving my post with his email up so that people can try to contact Mr. Palmer with any complaints, but let it be known that I've rescinded my original good-natured skepticism. I'm now back to thinking GoFreelance.com is nothing but a low-down, dirty scam. I hope everyone will take note of all the complaints online, and stay far, far away from Rob Palmer and his membership job board, regardless of what he calls it next.
Update — September 25, 2007:
This morning I received an email notifying me of some problems with ripoffreport.com, the source of the report I linked to above. I will quote from the email:
I am writing to warn you about ripoffreport.com - the guy who runs it apparently writes some of the complaints, and contacts the companies to extort money from them (so that they can get their company names off ripoffreport.com). He (Ed - I don't remember his last name) is a long-time criminal, and has been indicted by the FBI on rackateering charges for what he is doing with ripoffreport.com. Last I read, he is on the lam, and nowhere to be found.
Despite the gravity of these accusations, I am leaving the link for the simple reason that all of the report's claims have been made by other writers, too. Even if Ed did write this report, the fact of the matter is that I regularly hear the same complaints regarding GoFreelance.com.

09 Apr Must-Have Plumbing Maintenance Services to Prepare You for Summer
When summer begins, you may notice changes in your home's plumbing system. The sprinkler system is fired up, your water isn't heating up as much as it should, and your toilets are used more often because the kids are at home for their summer break.
Increased usage of water means potential plumbing issues, so it's important to get routine maintenance from licensed professionals. That said, below are several plumbing services you'll need to keep your system in excellent shape this summer.
Many consider summer as the season of abundance. It's the time when most family get-togethers happen, which means more food to be shared. Unfortunately, it's also the time when it's most tempting to toss all of the leftover food down your disposal unit.
The only problem with that is grease from cooked meats, bones from the barbecue, or even pits from your fruits can damage your disposal unit. There are things you can do to keep it working smoothly such as:
- Don't put any kind of bone in the disposal.
- Don't put too many food items in at once.
- Never put fat or grease in the disposal unit as it can harden once it cools.
- Avoid egg shells, pasta, coffee grounds, fruit pits, and celery; these can all cause clogging.
Pro tip: try putting ice inside your disposal to sharpen the blades. For gunky blockages, combine ice with vinegar or rock salt and run cold water for at least 10 seconds.
Washing Machine Hose Maintenance
Do you even remember the last time you checked your washing machine hoses? Most of us probably don't as it's an "out of sight, out of mind" sort of plumbing item. However, they pose a major risk if they burst because a burst washing machine hose can lead to flooding, which then means having to call a plumbing services professional.
We recommend you replace hoses every five years, at most. Be sure to routinely check those hoses and see if there is any bulging anywhere, or any deformities in their shape. If you see that a hose no longer holds its original form, it's time to replace it. Braided stainless steel hoses work better than the traditional rubber hoses, which are more prone to bursting and cracking.
Water Heater Maintenance
Are you leaving town with your family for a vacation this summer? Then don't pay to heat water that you will not be using. Remember to turn it off when you go away for several days. This method not only saves your wallet but also saves energy for your home.
Did you inherit a water heater from the previous owner of your home? Then it's a good idea to look at the age of that heater, too. How long that machine has been working will tell you if it can still work optimally. If you think it's time to replace it, call a licensed professional to find out more about your options.
Summertime means significant water use inside your home. Whether it's filling up the mini-pool for your kids or simply watering your garden, your water usage increases as the warmer months start to kick in. With the above maintenance plumbing services, you're sure to have summer fun without worrying about your plumbing system.

Self-Portraits (A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings, Volume 4)
Ernst van de Wetering
Language: English
Pages: 724
Format: PDF / Kindle (mobi) / ePub
Volume IV of A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings deals uniquely with the self-portraits of Rembrandt. In a clearly written explanatory style the head of the Rembrandt Research Project and Editor of this Volume, Ernst van de Wetering, discusses the full body of work of paintings and etchings portraying Rembrandt. He sets the different parameters for accepting or rejecting a Rembrandt self-portrait as such, whilst also discussing the exact working environment of Rembrandt and his apprentices. This workshop setting created a surroundings where apprentices could be involved in working on Rembrandt paintings making it more difficult to determine the hand of the master. Van de Wetering, who is one of the Rembrandt experts of our day and age, goes down to great detail to explain how the different self-portraits are made and what techniques Rembrandt uses, also giving an overview of which paintings are to be attributed to the Dutch Master and which not.
In the additional catalogue the self-portraits are examined in detail. In clear and accessible explanatory text the different paintings are discussed, larded with immaculate images of each painting. Details are shown where possible, as well as the results of modern day technical imaging like X-radiography.
This work of art history and art research should be part of every serious art historical institute, university or museum. Nowhere in the art history have all Rembrandt's self portraits been discussed in such detailed and comparative manner by an authority such as Ernst van de Wetering. This is a standard work for decades to come.

New public database shows hospital billing charges all over the map
Posted May 10, 2013, 8:27 am Patrick J. Skerrett, Former Executive Editor, Harvard Health Publications Most reputable companies that provide services tell you what you'll get for your money. Hospitals are an exception. They haven't traditionally made public the cost of operations and other procedures. This secrecy has let hospitals set widely different prices for the same procedure. It's also made it impossible to do any comparison shopping.

Chemistry – Master of Science
Postgraduate study programme which requires a first university degree. For this, the University of Konstanz offers the Bachelor's Programme in Chemistry.
The master's programme focuses on advanced, already research-related courses in the subjects of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, as well as in the subjects surrounding the department's main research areas, especially life sciences and material sciences. You choose one subject of specialisation from the three major subjects: inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. As electives we offer analytical chemistry, biochemistry, chemical material sciences, geochemistry and environmental chemistry, theoretical chemistry, industrial chemistry as well as fields of study from biology, computer science, mathematics and physics. As a graduate you will have acquired a qualification profile that is relevant to modern research. If you wish to deepen your scientific knowledge and skills, you will be qualified to take up doctoral studies.
|Master of Science
|Programme start
|Winter semester & Summer semester
|Period of study

Why study Chemistry at Konstanz?
The courses of the Master's Programme in Chemistry are research-oriented and allow you to participate in current research projects. Our courses are designed with an interdisciplinarity in mind that will help reduce the barriers between the traditional subjects of chemistry (inorganic, organic and physical chemistry). You can specialise within the master's programme according to your individual interests.
Prospects and opportunities
Career prospects
As a graduate you will be qualified for positions in different areas of the chemical industry and also in the non-chemical sectors. The professional profile of chemists has broadened remarkably in recent years. This is due to the close and constantly growing interconnections between chemistry and other scientific and technical disciplines. Typical work areas include:
- Research and development
- Production, marketing and sales
- Management
- Banking and insurance
- State and private research and analysis institutes
- Patent offices of environmental agencies at the local, regional and federal level
For a senior position in research and development a doctorate is usually required. Above-average students can take the Fast Track option with direct admission to doctoral studies, thus shortening the overall study period.

Prosecutor: Man body-slammed boy after national anthem snub
A man is facing an assault charge after Montana authorities say he threw a 13-year-old boy to the ground at a rodeo because the teenager didn't remove his hat when the national anthem was played. Court documents filed by Mineral County Attorney Ellen Donohue said the boy was flown to the hospital for a possible concussion and fractured skull. Curt James Brockway, 39, told a sheriff's deputy that he asked the boy to remove his hat out of respect for the national anthem playing before the start of the county rodeo on Saturday, Donohue wrote in the document describing the alleged attack.

Week 4: Alagnak Lodge, Summer 2018
The weather is now as unpredictable as the bears here at our Bristol Bay fishing lodge. We have rainy days, sunny days, windy days, and sometimes all three of those at once. We have bears swimming up to boats, bears hunting alongside the river where we are fishing, bears walking through camp, and bears mostly just being bears. Guests keep coming, and the guests keep going. At present, Alagnak Lodge is as full as it will be until the end of the season when the silver salmon are running strong.
A Steady Diet of Chum Salmon
Ron, Bob, Jackson, and James came for a few days of fishing. Jamie and Chad kept them on a steady diet of chum salmon, which was the main course for most of the week for the lodge. The nets set up at the mouth of the river have made king salmon catching nearly impossible, but a few have been hooked, a few landed, and even a few released this week. Otherwise, despite the best efforts of the guides, the kings were the unicorns. Thank goodness the chum are a worthy opponent. They strike hard, run fast and hard, and don't give up.
From Novice to Semi-Pro
Guest Bob Noonan, retired Air Force meteorologist and self-proclaimed Prevaricating Prognosticator Emeritus, showed up the day the nets went into the water last week. Tammy was his guide for the week. He listed himself as a novice angler but by the end of the week had graduated to nearly semi-pro. His first afternoon session upon his arrival gave him five king salmon bites on five drifts. Two males were landed and harvested. The rest of his week was spent exploring and fishing for chum salmon. Bob went from barely being able to land a chum to wading in the river, catching them, going under, being pulled out by his guide, and coming up with the rod and reel in his hand with the fish still on and landing the fish, earning him semi-pro status and accolades for best fish of the week. Good job, Bob!
While Bob was here, Ellis and Rachel joined them on the boat for a couple of days of Bristol Bay fishing. Ellis was here to fish and Rachel to take photos. The chum salmon kept both busy as they joined their party, which was already here, guided by Chad and Jamie.
Running Back and Forth
Chad and Jamie were hosts to Bill, Ted, Mark, and George. All of them were either related or long-time friends, and all were amazing people. Often, all their guide's boats would be found anchored up on the same sandbar with everyone out wading, catching chum salmon, guides running back and forth between them with Rachel in tow for photo opportunities and laughter so loud it could be heard over the river. A few of them gave the flyrod a try for the first time and were not disappointed. Chums are worthy fly opponents as well.
Today is Bill's 70th birthday. Happy birthday, Bill!
Spey Casters
Glenn had a group of Spey casters from Germany here all week at our Bristol Bay fishing lodge. Once again, Glenn worked long and hard hours trying to get his group on king salmon on the fly, but with the number of kings being so low, the group mostly fished for chum salmon as well. Joachim, Magnus, and Philip caught a lot of fish on their Spey rods and had a great time. John guided guests Mark and Cindy most of the week. The story remained the same. While the guides spent ample time fishing for kings, most of the time was spent keeping the guests catching fish, and the fish of choice among the guests was chum. New guests arrived yesterday: the Hyatt family from Georgia.
Bristol Bay Fishing Lodge
The Hyatts and remaining guests from the large group are out now, some fishing hard for king salmon and others fishing for chum. Regardless, they are all having a great time in the wilds of Alaska! Until then, we await the arrival of the silver salmon (and hopefully a return of the kings), fish for chum, and enjoy the shenanigans they bring with them. There's never a dull moment at our Bristol Bay fishing lodge. Enjoy your week!

Janet Valasek, a recently turned 50-year-old, was one of the three women chosen by After40 magazine and Turkle & Associates to participate in a rejuvenation opportunity. Janet works at a local law firm, is single and a breast cancer survivor. Turkle & Associates and Phases Skin Care and Laser Center are providing skin rejuvenation and other services to Janet. Last week she began work with Cindy Sams of Full-Body Fitness, one of our Girls' Night Out Indy makeover partners. I thought you would enjoy reading Cindy's and Janet's blogs from their first sessions. – Dr. Jan Turkle
Janet's Initial Comments from her Fitness Assessment: Very First Day with FBF/Cindy
My new trainer is Cindy Sams! The same Cindy (with the ball) that I had seen in the Fishers magazines! She was going to be MY trainer and I was going to be her GNO woman! Judy and staff were determined to pair up the two of us and they got it DONE and I am just so thrilled and grateful!!!
And not a day too soon apparently!!! On Saturday, I met with Cindy and received my initial assessment! We discussed my present workout routine (non-existent), my eating habits, discussed my goals and performed a physical assessment and yes…the dreaded photos! Whoa, wake up call!!! 31% body fat, did she just say that?!!! I mean… REALLY???
We talked a great deal about nutrition and my eating habits and I tried to come up with some reasonable explanation for my eating habits, throwing around a few healthy food habits to impress her like 'I only eat vegetable pizzas', 'I don't eat an entire bag of cookies or chips in a single sitting', but the end result was that we determined that I am eating what most 4-20-something year olds eat (worse really) and the quantity of that of a 'M-A-N'!!! LOL!!! It was a real eye opener for both of us and none of it 'washed' with Cindy!!!
Cindy put together a healthy eating program for me on the spot which involved an immediate trip to the grocery store! No ridiculous foods I've never heard of, no special trips to Trader Joe's or Good Earth for organic foods…just plain, simple everyday snacks and grilled foods which I happen to love! Loads of tips for preparing my meals a week ahead on weekends so I have healthy foods to eat throughout the upcoming week! And simply cutting my portions in half, what a novel idea!!! LOL!!!
Cindy then discussed a workout routine that only requires 30 minutes a day; I can do 30 minutes a day in my sleep!!! We determined my fat burning zone which allows me to work out in a decent pace that will not leave me gasping for air and severe lactic acid muscle burn. Just a nice, easy pace that gets my muscles moving and my blood flowing.
Cindy is a 'really serious' trainer, all warm, pretty and funny on the outside, but on the inside, this women means business when it comes to fitness which I learned really quickly! We did about 20 minutes of training my first day. Cindy focuses on the fundamentals and the core muscles – short, intensely-focused workouts!
I didn't go home huffing, puffing and sweating, however that evening, I was feeling it deep in the muscles in places I didn't realize we had actually worked on!
So I'm totally committed going forward and feel as though I can accomplish my goals with coaching and discipline!
As my friend, Dan from Grand Rapids, Michigan says… BRING IT ON!!! – Janet Valasek
Full-Body Fitness
Alright! It's been almost a week since I met with Janet for her fitness assessment. I sent her on her way with two things she needed to start working on right away: 1) 4 days of cardio (In her fat burn zone) for 30 minutes each; and 2) starting eating the way we discussed at her F.A.
As she was warming on my elliptical for 10 minutes (in her zone!) we chatted about these things. Janet had been out of town on business but got some runs in and ate great except for one day (she said). I always like people to tell me what their "not so great eating" days are. They never are as bad as they think! (thankfully!) 🙂 Eating at Ruth's Chris… well, what can I say?! You can never go wrong there! So a few bites of some shrimp on top of some mashed garlic potatoes… not so bad!
I reminded her that I want the 4 days at 30 min. each in her ZONE and if she wants to "run" do it on the other days. Briefly, doing cardio in a lower heart rate zone burns your body fat as fuel AND helps you GAIN lung capacity.
She's doing great on the eating. Keep it up girlfriend! First step is to be AWARE of how you WERE doing and how little you really need to "suffer" to lose weight! 😉
I reminded her to keep stretching those muscles… constantly! Especially her hamstrings!
Janet gets in a full 3 days with me next week so I'll chat back with you then. We'll also be reweighing her then, but no body fat or circumference measurements until 30 days! So stay tuned!
Love ya! Cindy 🙂 – Cindy Sams
Janet Valasek
The healthy eating has begun and I have not felt like I was starving! Although my evenings are my most difficult time as I get PRETTY hungry after 7 pm but mostly just thoughts of grazing and not real 'hunger' which Cindy assures me will get easier as I change my foods and routine!
I had quite a challenge my first week, first a work luncheon with 'the girls' and then I had to go out of town. First, I survived the luncheon at Bucca with different food choices than my past routine! Opted for the chicken breast with capers instead of the Lasagna, green beans substitute for the side of linguini, skipped the bread (although Cindy's says it's not a requirement to pass up everything) – just moderation!
I got a lot of comments this week like 'oh go ahead and eat it, you can start on your program tomorrow !' I had two people tell me that on two different days so I get it that this was part of my on-going problem of always 'starting tomorrow' for every special occasion!
Then onto Atlanta, GA for two days of work and two days of visiting with my best friend, Carol Speer-Adamec and her family. Carol threw a little 50th birthday celebration for me with her family, but hallelujah…there was not fattening cheese dips, burgers or birthday cake!
We all ate from a big vegetable platter of healthy foods, fresh fruit, chicken salad (which I declined) and in place of a birthday cake, she made me a watermelon cake which I found out was not cake at all but a small, chilled watermelon with a BIG 50 – no cake, no icing, no ice cream!
And two days of short jogs, long walks outdoors in the sunshine (in my shorts) was just the thing to remind me… summer is like…. four short weeks away!!! Gotta get in shape NOW!!!
I made it through my first week, a few slips but this was the exception to the rule and surprisingly enough, it was not at all painful and I didn't starve to death as I sure I might! LOL!!! Drama Queen!!!
Cindy coached me at the start of the week that I would have aha moments and missteps and assured me the overall program would more than make up for a few weak moments. This took a lot of the pressure off and gave me the confidence that I could do this!
Starting week two, gotta run to the store and see what I can whip up – Janet Valasek
