Messages / Visual Platform
On View Friday, April 13–Sunday, September 16, 2018
Artists deliver messages about issues that affect our environment, health, identity, and survival. They stimulate conversation and action in the face of adversity in social and political arenas.
Messages / Visual Platform was curated by SUNY Buffalo State graduate students in the museum studies course, MST 622 "Researching and Presenting Museum Collections." They include: David Banchich, Ashley Carney, Audrey Clark, Matthew Crissey, Mark Dabney, Melissa Fanton, Carla Feller, and Mary Langille. They worked with Nancy Weekly, Burchfield Penney Instructor of Museum Studies at SUNY Buffalo State, who serves as the Center's Burchfield Scholar, Head of Collections, and Charles Cary Rumsey Curator.
Together they selected artworks from the Burchfield Penney Art Center's collection that illustrate artists' expressions of their identity as individuals and as part of a global community. They also chose artworks that address the duality of the world we live in: both positive and negative images of nature's beauty and the ravages of environmental damage and pollution.
The student-curators conducted research to establish historic and contemporary cultural contexts for artworks that sparked their curiosity. They wrote labels for adults and children to accompany the selected artworks. Their texts will be added to the museum's document files for future reference.
The following artworks are featured in this research and label-writing project:
• Buchenwald - Ovens and Cemetery (2001) by Harold L. Cohen
• Welcome (2015) by Nancy Dwyer
• Untitled (#22) (ca. 1970s) by Wilhelmina Godfrey
• Surgery without penetration (1997) by Anna Kaarina Nenonen
• Pride and Prejudice (1936) by Kevin B. O'Callahan
• Two Canoes (1987) by Jolene Rickard
• The Iwasaki Family, Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY (2002) by Ann Rosen
• In Search of an Appropriate Symbolism/ Empty Chair, Buffalo, New York / Traditional Dance, Regina, Saskatchewan (1991) by Jeffrey M. Thomas
Messages / Visual Platform also includes paintings, photographs, sculpture, and prints by Brendan Bannon, Roberley Ann Bell, Linda Brooks, Patricia Carter, John Copoulos, Joel Peter Johnson, Julian Montague, Milton Rogovin, Christy Rupp, Rodney Taylor, and Louis Vastola.
The exhibition has been extended through the first week of classes in the Fall 2018 semester.

American Eurocopter today announced Brevard County, Florida, has purchased two AS350 B3e helicopters. The aircraft will be utilized for mosquito control, firefighting and herbicide application throughout the county, which is located along Florida's east coast, replacing an AS350 B3 and two 206Bs currently being used.
"We carefully considered our options before making the purchase," said Brevard County Mosquito Control Director, Craig Simmons. "Our main focus was searching for a proven aircraft that could carry heavy exterior loads for mosquito control spray applications, while maintaining considerable flight range. The low acquisition and operating costs for the new AS350 B3e, along with the extra payload and safety features of the aircraft, were a perfect fit for our operations."
The aircraft will primarily be used for mosquito control in Brevard County, which experiences extreme and heavy mosquito breeding activity countywide. The 2011 mosquito season in Brevard was more than double what had been experienced in years past with more acres treated last year than the previous two years combined, an increase of more than 250% over 2010 alone.
"We are extremely pleased to once again provide our products and services to Brevard County," said American Eurocopter Vice President of Commercial Sales and Marketing, Treg Manning. "We beieve the increased performance and safety features of the B3e will enhance their mission capabilities."
The AS350 AStar is a single-engine workhorse with the best performance in its category. Built and certified in the United States, this cost-effective helicopter accommodates five to six passengers in all forward-facing seats. High performance, enhanced maneuverability and reduced pilot workload make American Eurocopter's AS350 the preferred rotary-wing aircraft for a growing number of U.S. civilian users, air medical services and law enforcement agencies. From 2011 the best will get even better, with the AS350 B3e offering faster cruise speeds, 30 minute take-off power, longer engine TBOs (6,000 hours mature), lower DMCs and improved tail rotor controls.
The aircraft are scheduled for delivery in July 2013.

High Court overturns Chepstow turbine plans
Credit: By Owain Banfield | Monmouthshire Beacon | 15 June 2016 | www.monmouthshirebeacon.co.uk ~~
A High Court judge has overturned the Forest of Dean District Council (FDDC) planning approval of a single wind turbine at Severndale Farm, Tidenham.
Campaigners, led by Tidenham resident Peter Wright, had raised £15,000 to cover the cost of the judicial review against a proposed 87 metre-high wind turbine. The proposal, put forward by Lydney-based renewable energy company the Resilience Centre, was originally approved by the FDDC planning committee on 11th August 2015.
The point of contention was a community fund of £500,000 which was to be generated by the turbine, and which was a key part of the original planning approval. Mr Justice Dove overturned the granted planning proposal after ruling that financial benefits for a local community by a developer are irrelevant to issues relating to land use.
The judge ruled that the potential community donations served no planning purpose and were irrelevant to the development itself, and highlighted the importance that planning permissions are never for sale.
Unless permission is given to appeal and the decision is subsequently overturned, the project cannot now proceed.
Peter Wright said: "We're absolutely delighted. I was fairly confident, and our barristers said it was fifty-fifty on the day. But I thought our arguments were much more focused.
"We're waiting on the 52 page full report to come through, but when I asked my lawyers they said the decision was black and white and very clear.
"The fact our community came together and took this to the highest courts show how the local community doesn't want this thing. We're now in a much better position.
"Overall we're chuffed to bits. It's up to the FODDC and Resilience to decide what to do next as the ball is now well and truly batted back into their court."
"If they do resubmit we shall be far better prepared to continue the fight and of course better funded having been awarded costs by the judge as a result of our victory in the Judicial review.
"If they reapply, we look forward to the challenge."
Sue Clarke, the Director of the Resilience Centre said: "This ruling, which quashes the planning permission for Severndale, is disappointing on many levels and is yet another blow for the UK community energy sector.
"The fact that this is a community led project, which would be community owned and operated with the primary purpose of benefitting the community in which it is based, did not result in the project being distinguished from commercial projects by the judge.
"The decision may be celebrated by the small minority who opposed the approved project but in reality we consider this to be a massive loss for the community as a whole and clearly undermines local democracy.
"The fact that the planning approval decision had already survived scrutiny by the Secretary of State (prompted by the same small group) makes the current judgement even more difficult to understand.
"We're looking at all the options available to us. It's not the end of the road yet."
Janine Michael from Dean Community Energy Group, a group from across the Forest of Dean who are concerned about climate change, said: "The ruling by the High Court last week to quash planning permission for the Severndale Community Wind Turbine marks a sad day for renewable energy and local resilience in the Forest of Dean. The case brought by a small minority of objectors, used a technicality in planning law to argue our council should not have been able to recognise the local benefits of the scheme.
"This decision not only impacts us in the Forest of Dean but has far-reaching implications for community energy projects and community enterprise schemes across the country.
"On behalf of supporters of the project, and community enterprise more generally, I hope our councillors will be resolute in standing by their original, well-balanced, democratic decision and appeal this ruling."
A spokesperson for the FDDC said: "The council is disappoint with the judgement and will now take time to consider its position."

Does your case for support look something like this: "We need to do more, to serve more people, so you need to give us more money." If that sounds familiar, it's time for a more effective fundraising approach!
Today's funders, from major corporations to community foundations to local philanthropists, want to know that their money is making a tangible impact. But don't just take our word for it. You can learn more about the increasingly important role "impact" and "outcomes" play in successful fundraising here, here, and here. So what does that mean in terms of securing real money for your organization?
Principal Tom Ralser (aka, "the Godfather of ROI") has written several books on the topic of nonprofit ROI, exploring the growing movement that supplements traditional fundraising methods with value propositions, community asset positioning, and Investible Outcomes™. They're a great place to start if you want to learn more about the investor's perspective, identifying your most fundable outcomes, and how to clearly communicate the value of your outcomes to funders in a way that will lead to increased, sustainable funding.

Medical marijuana, as the name implies, is used for medicinal purposes and has been legalized in many states for that purpose. Other states in the Union have decriminalized and legalized cannabis for recreational usage independent of its medicinal functions.
First of all, there are basically two types of marijuana, Sativa and Indica. But there are so many strains just under those two umbrellas, so where are the best creative strains? Let's find out.
That's a great question! A lot of people can't tell the difference between these two look-a-like cousins. Some teenagers couldn't tell the difference and it cost them – not jail time, but money and wasted time.
For many people, it's pretty easy to count the number of reasons they choose to smoke. However, for people who don't use any form of marijuana, it's equally as easy to list the reasons they don't use it.
If you haven't hopped on the dab-train, there is really no better time than right now. Dabs have been noted to give people a really nice body high, with people also feeling much higher than they would get otherwise. So, with the masses beginning to dab, it's important to distinguish between a regular dab and live resin.

Who was your Favourite Teacher?
|Posted on 4 October, 2018 at 4:50
Most people have a favourite teacher, that person who lit a spark, opened up new possibilities and has remained an influence. Mine was Miss Teagle, tall, slim, in sensible shoes and tailored suits in safe colours with discreetly patterned blouses. Her accessories were neat and her only concession to ornament was sparkling brooches. She had white hair in a Queen hairstyle (I'm talking British monarch, not Freddie Mercury, you understand). She was somewhere in her late 50s, or early sixties.
Miss Teagle taught English and at 10 years old, I was a poet manqué writing ditties about birds and dew drops and daffodils – you know the kind of thing. It was dismissed as a phase by most teachers, or even completely ignored, but not by Miss Teagle. She delighted in words; the sound of words, the look of words, the power of words, words which made you laugh, learn and think. She didn't worry about how bad the spelling, punctuation or grammar was because what she wanted most was your imagination. We did learn how to write properly with her, but I'm not sure when it happened as she had a skill of disguising serious matters with a veneer of fun. For me, this was a huge gift because I am dyslexic, although, as this was many years ago, it wasn't diagnosed as such. I was just someone who couldn't learn to spell and got told off for getting my letters round the wrong way to the extent that I became frightened to write. Miss Teagle freed me from this fear, encouraging me to write with abandon and sorting out the spelling later.
Miss Teagle made us write poems, book reviews and stories, and every week she would read one of them out, always from a different child so that no-one was left out. It wasn't until years later that we actually recognised how scrupulously fair she had been, making sure that everyone had their little moment in the limelight. At the time, we just knew that we all wanted to be picked, to have her praise because as she read the story, she would always point out exactly what was right about it, even if only one tiny thing, that she could highlight to us all as a positive. She used these positive points to teach us about styles and language, but probably more importantly, to encourage the writers.
We were not a class of prodigies, just normal 10 year olds who on the whole didn't want to be at school and who were already getting used to a hierarchy where the clever ones got encouraged, the "stupid" ones got told off and the ones in the middle were overlooked. But to Miss Teagle, we were all equal, with something valuable we could talk or write about – all we needed was someone to listen and to guide us. We came out of her class with an understanding of the power of words, that if we read widely, we could learn anything we wanted and that we could open up new worlds for ourselves.
Of all the things she taught us, the most important was that she gave us the power to think and to dream, to realise that we all have potential to be creative in some shape or form and we just need some support and encouragement. Her lasting influence on me is that this is what drives me in my work with my clients.
Who was your favourite teacher? What made them special? And how might you tap into / emulate that to support your creative practice?

Why bother with unfriendly GNOME Devs, why doesnt purism support KDE as much as gnome. Especially considering that KDE has friendlier Dev s than gnome and better infrastructure like plasma mobile, kirigami, kwin working without x, etc. Shouldn't choosing KDE be cheaper and better solution.

Best thing about iOS is it doesn't use Wayland or systemd. Heck, that's what I like most about Android too. LOL
Sounds like a great way to get some more budget to run.
And such people are mostly coming from the most controversial softwares... "Strange" you say ?

I hope you can bring some quantitative or qualitative proof of that, asking the same questions in the same tone on both mailing lists as example.
2. even if it would be true, unfriendly devs, you don't settle usually with the worse solution if both cost the same money (0 cent in this case) If I get a porsche or a vw golf both at the same price I take the porsche without thinking a second even if the support from porsche would be worse.
3. I bet you make that claim either by repeating some urban myths from others, or you gone to their mailing list and said "your desktop really sucks why do you not do everything like kde does it" and then wondered that the answers weren't that welcoming and friendly
4. kde yet have not delivered on a totally stable easy to use desktop without 5 hours customization required.
5. kde does their plasma mobile since 10 years and they got zero traction in the real market so far, even canonical ignored them. Gnome is not far behind even they only considered some support for windows touch notebooks. If they take some effort on that field, they are light years ahead in 1 or 2 years.
6. both are supported, so whats the problem? fanboyism not satisfied? the point of that device despite some hardware anti-nsa switches is software freedom so people themself can choose heck you might even switch to another distribution.
7. there are surly 5-10x more gnome users than kde users, with the gnome switch of ubuntu its 10x for sure. So people don't having all gnome on their desktops and plasma on their phones makes a lot of sense.
8. kde is ugly as hell.Last edited by blackiwid; 02-04-2018, 03:48 AM.
1. Should I remind you that they're all forcing things that no one wants ? (e.g. extensions breakings)
Also, just Google "Gnome developers" and let autocompletion do its work.
2. Then, the Porsche broke and you're out of the road, while I'll make fun of you in my VW
3. I bet you always make that claim: "Blah Blah Blah you don't understand" because you have nothing else to say.
If something sucks, and that a lot of people say it, think again instead of denying over and over again.
4. That's Gnome, you always need to get a shit ton of extension to make it exactly does what the user wants.
Also, remember the extension breakings ? Well, that's Gnome too.
5. What if I told you, that Canonical were advocating their "Unity" shit ?
Also: Forcing touch features on desktop PCs is what's killing convergence. Think about why Windows is going back to the start menu, that Gnome 3 got flames while Gnome 2/Mate is still praised even a decade later, and that apple are still distinctively not made any significant move towards convergence ?
6. One good choice will work, adding a bad choice will both bring them down.
Make something good first, then consider something else when you have a fallback option.
7. "X is the most used" is the biggest fallacy onecould eve bring.
Remeber the flat earthers 1000 years ago ? Yeah, right.
8. Gnome is ugly as hell.
See how meaningless and arrogant you guys are ? Thanks.
Besides, Gnome are doing everything to look like MacOS, don't even dare deny it.
So if you want apple, go for it and join the overhyped teens there while letting serious business like it alays has been.
1. they give you a great vanilla desktop that is 10 times better than kde, for most users (much more gnome users than kde users)
then on top of that they give you the opportunity to use extensions, which kde doesn't but somehow kde gives you not the option to use extensions is more user friendly?
So in your mind also firefox and chrome are bad browsers because they have extension support and from time to time they break it. Ok 99% of browser users disagree with you.
2. I enjoy that my porsche breaks less often cause of high quality components its made of, and drive with it 20 years after your car is destroyed already. If you have to take that comparsion so far.
3. More users say kde sucks people vote with their feat much much more gnome users vs kde users are therefor my oppinion. of course if you have more users you have more haters between them that are more loud, that doesn't mean that your product sucks.
Freebsd has much much more security problems than linux but because nobody uses it, it gets nearly no press.
4. That's Gnome, you always need to get a shit ton of extension to make it exactly does what the user wants.
Thats your oppinion, if you are stubbern and don't want to change your desktop pattern from windows 95 or xp maybe you are the problem. But even you don't need windows 95 workflow on a smartphone or do you?
5. Also: Forcing touch features on desktop PCs is what's killing convergence.
"Forcing" features is the wrong word here, they have a pretty good usable desktop with mouse and more important keyboard, so touch is just another option, giving more options doesn't mean forcing.
If at all they "forced" you away from mouse to keyboard, to some extend' but keyboards for desktop is the best input device, much more ergonomical than mouses for 95% of actions not 100% but 95% some things a mouse is better. But clicking on a start menu is not one of them.
But even therefor just use ubuntu with their gnome-shell version and you have your start menu. Or use debian and install the deb files of the menu extensions nothing will break. Just if you install the extension over the internet site you get problems.
But again at worst they not force but may push you to use more the keyboard not the touchscreen, there is nothing that makes it harder to use the mouse or keyboard in favor of the touchscreen.
7. "Remeber the flat earthers 1000 years ago ? Yeah, right."
We are talking about subjective desktop preferences not physical facts aren't we?
8. Besides, Gnome are doing everything to look like MacOS, don't even dare deny it.
It doesn't matter what I want, free software is about choice, but a default desktop is about reaching most users, you do that with gnome and not kde. Thats all.
I am not even using gnome myself for many years, but gnome 3 was a nice step to enlighten me to overthink that bad desktop functionality I was used to since Windows 95.
1. No desktop Symbols important, zen like I don't have to minimize stuff down to reach the files/items on the desktop.
2. starting programs with the keyboard with a search engine, much more ergonomic than moving my mouse 25x forth and back and click mini areas wehre the starter is.
3. having apps startet more or less maxed out
my brother uses it since 3-5 years now I believe, my father also more like 5 years, I hear no complain about it. My father is a noob, still he can deal with no desktop symbols and no start menu.
But yes gnome might not be perfect for everybody and every needs, but that is not the messure point, that is ever less true for kde/plasma so that's the problem. If they could release a really productino ready version for once that would be a good start and maybe every 6 months or every 12 months.
So you complain that gnome breaks extensions (if you have to have always the newest version), but kde can't release a rock stable version of their normal version for once.
Fallacies and fallacies...
What if I told you, that not needing a shit tons of extensions because something is good enough out of the box makes it 10 times better ?
And, what's the point of extensions, if you're unable to keep a staging standard ?
Now tell me again why Gnome is 10 times better.
Let me tell you why you say so: You're a deep insecure little teen that only cares about a MacOS-like looks even if it's functionnaly shit. That's why.
Is that all you can do ?
Come on, you can't take my very own sentence and change the brands.
I'm the one making fun of you when you're out of the road with your Porsche.
Also, you do know that VW owns Porsche right ?
Please try again, you amuse me.
That should be enough.
Concerning FreeBSD: Are you trying to skip the main subject ?
Look at XFCE: It works, look at Mate: It works, look at Gnome: It doesn't work, look at KDE: It works.
Also, a Desktop PC is not a tablet. Get over it.
Software is made for you to be used, not you being used by your insecurities about looks.
That's what I said earlier, all you care about is looks, not functionality.
So maybe, just maybe you're the problem.
Are you on your first teeny years ?
Please tell me when Gnome 3 developers listened to the people after the massive amount of rants they got ? Thanks.
You forgot point 6.
And that's the problem with you.
A DE's look is not top priority since it's software. So it's functionality first.
Look over point 5 again.
Now tell me about reaching most users and freedom of choice with Gnome 3 ? Thanks.
It's about freedom of choice, you don't force people to follow your "looks" ideas by removing dektop icons.
You're a vocal minority.
You do know that XFCE's Whisker menu and KDE's Kick menu does the same thing right ?
But what if I told you, that I still got the choice to place my most important files right in front of me so I don't have to go through a file explorer to find it ?
That's about freedom of choice, remember ?
What were you trying to say ?
Just because your relatives uses it, doesn't mean everyone thinks the same.
Don't generalize your very own specific case, because it's irrelevant.
You saying that KDE is not fitting most people's need is your very own point of view.
If people want the desktop choice, let it be instead ofr forcing something else.
What if I told you that KDE 4.8 were pretty much stable and that same goes for KDE 5.8, and that Gnome wasn't fucking stable until 3.22 ?
And guess what ? I'm always testing those two from time to time.\
So yeah, you're biased.
1. The point is to give developer a easy way to start with gnome development, to get new ideas for the default desktop, a experiment field, to give some distros a way to add their stuff, not everybody compiles always the newest alpha from gnome or kde on their desktop but uses what is installed on their distro.
"Let me tell you why you say so: You're a deep insecure little teen that only cares about a MacOS-like looks even if it's functionnaly shit. That's why.'"
ohh you are soooo wrong about that, I am in my late 30s so again you are wrong.
2. the car point you don't even argue you try to make some points without any reall points.it's not even related at all to the software situation, or what does it mean that vw owns porsche for gnome and kde? You know the idea behind comparsions? To find similarities from one field to another?
3. no its not enough, my main point is that, linux users is a small group of people, so you want something that is usable from the stupidest, we are talking about desktops not tiling wms, so real geeks use no desktop at all that includes me, we use tiling wms or in my case exwm emacs as window manager basically. So we will not be 100% happy with the desktop choice on such a device anyway. Except maybe for a touch device a really stupid desktop makes more sense than i3 or something like that.
4. Now you are completly ridicoulous "gnome does not work" because 1 retarded plugin you wanted to use was unstable gnome does not work. But if 90% of all base kde versions are unstable (you admit it yourself at 12. (4.8 and 5.8 are PRETTY stable) so all other versions were not stable at all and even this 2 versions are not just rock stable, but only "pretty stable".
So having stable software is no requirement for you to call something working? You are ridicoulous. That's exactly the problem even kde fanboys like you admit over and over again that kde is not rock stable, not even your strange selected versions that you don't get if you use a random distro, because they inclue the latest "stable" version whatever that means in the kde world. basicly the latest alpha they don't even include your 2 selected betas that are still not stable. While gnome might had small problems in the beginning like start time, it was from beginning to now every 6 months a more or less rock stable version on several distros.
Well maybe I am biased here because I don't use nvidia blobs or other proprietary software so you might have had problems with that, but we talk about librem that wants to use free software so it should not be a problem, they should include a free software graphics driver.
Don't change the subject Mate and XFCE are not reasonable because their wayland support is bad or not existent, and yes they are usable and stable, not my choice nr.1 but I would not oppose to them so hard than this alpha plasma software.
Software is made for you to be used, not you being used by your insecurities about looks.
I would prefer even unseen Elementary desktop over kde for fucks sake. I care about functionality, but normale fuctionality is primary in the application not the start menu.
Are you on your first teeny years ?
5. Software development is no democracy, where does the kde people listen to their users to make sane defaults and stable releases instead of one alpha version after another with the seldom beta releases in between?
I told you that's very successful projects gets automatically more hate, because they have more users, that's true for ubuntu (even it hurts to admit that one), it's true for systemd and its true for gnome.
If people used kde and it crashed on them in the first 30 minutes they don't start a flamewar on reddit, they just go back to their previous thing, and don't use it for the next 1 year then next 5 years after repeatence. So you never hear from the 99% that doesn't like kde cause they don't use it.
6. it does not matter, therefor I skipped that point, well you apparently advocate to not only make plasma default but get rid of gnome all together (2 desktops bring it down), even more absurd. even if you believe that technically that would be a good idea, librem would earn such a big shitstorm for that because they advertised their kickstarter with gnome default, it would be basically a fraud.
7. So it's functionality first.
8. don't understand what your argument is here.
9.1. forcing? you know you can activate desktop icons with the tweak tool right? it's more a suggestion, to rethink your old windows 95 oppinions about how a workflow should be like.
9.2. "That's about freedom of choice, remember ?"
10. Don't generalize your very own specific case, because it's irrelevant.
11. If people want the desktop choice, let it be instead ofr forcing something else.
12. What if I told you that KDE 4.8 were pretty much stable and that same goes for KDE 5.8, and that Gnome wasn't fucking stable until 3.22 ?Last edited by blackiwid; 02-05-2018, 05:04 AM.
blackiwid, UpsetingFact you both look foolish because you wildly exaggerate the flaws of the desktop toolkit you don't like. Plasma mobile is undoubtedly further along than Gnome on phones and Gnome is in the midst of a transition to GTK4 (and likely a new Gnome shell design), but Purism values having a common environment and toolkit between their laptops and phones more. That's a reasonable basis to make a decision, even if you disagree with it. FWIW Canonical struggled with the same issue and chose Qt QML apps for their phone and an in-house compositor.

This isone of the most incredible snapper catches I have seen. The incredible thing about it, is that is in the middle of a city! Shows us that we never know what we can find in our own backyard.
Keep in mind, if you do go snapper catching.. DO NOT put anything that you value anywhere near the front of it's body. These animals are much faster than they appear, and you can easily lose a few fingers if you do not pay attention.

Peruse any bookstore. Inspiring stories of triumph over cancer and tales of subsequent total life transformation abound. Heck, check out the hospital room window ledge, the oncologist's waiting room, or the coffee table of anyone diagnosed with cancer and you will almost certainly find piles of these "go get 'em" books bequeathed to patients by their well-intentioned friends upon hearing of their diagnosis.
When faced with a friend who is ill, buying a book for him or her is a caring and thoughtful response. Right? Perhaps not. Perhaps the person diagnosed with cancer should be handing the friend a book. As Letty Cottin Pogrebin so eloquently elucidates in her book, How to Be a Friend to a Friend Who's Sick, friendship in light of a cancer diagnosis can be tricky. What no book had ever addressed before was how to tell your friends how to behave when you or a loved one is facing a medical illness. Pogrebin finally offers an invaluable reference.
Pogrebin, an esteemed author and founding editor of Ms. Magazine, wrote this book after considering her own friends' highly variable responses to her breast cancer diagnosis. During her own cancer treatment, Pogrebin observed her fellow patients in the hospital waiting room and wondered about their friends' responses. Pogrebin searched for a book to help her better understand friendships in the context of cancer, and, having come up empty, she decided to write the book. Through her extensive interviews with her fellow patients, friends, strangers, and reflections on her own illness experiences, Pogrebin offers a long overdue roadmap to the legions of friends who want to help when illness hits.
When illness strikes, even the most socially adept can be unprepared for how to act, what to say, what to bring, and what to do. Through interviews and anecdotes Pogrebin offers the "dos" and "don'ts" in terms of illness etiquette. Pogrebin's insights are spot on. In chapters titled, "I Can't Believe You Said That," "The Perfect Present," and "How to Give Good Visits," the book expounds upon subjects such as how to visit a sick friend, select an appropriate gift, offer comforting words, and avoid hurt feelings. With candor and humor, Pogrebin's book addresses even the most sensitive issues of grief and loss and how to comfort a bereaved friend. Even the most experienced patients, survivors, and helpers among us will find ourselves nodding in agreement with the book's suggestions and cringing knowing we are guilty of some of the books "don'ts." The comprehensive resource list contained in the book's appendix offers everything one could need to comfort a friend, from cancer humor to fictional stories to caregiver support services.
As a psychologist who specializes in helping patients and families navigate cancer and other illness crises, I am privy to what patients do and do not want from their friends. I spend endless hours hearing tales of friends who tried to help, those who shied away, friends who rose to the occasion, and those who failed miserably. I spend a lot of time helping patients and families communicate their actual support needs to their loved ones. Oftentimes, these needs are vastly different from the things friends think are thoughtful and loving gestures. While so many books are filled with stories of the "unlikely bright side" of a cancer diagnosis, the "must-do" lists of ways to beat the disease, and "must-have" products to make treatment more tolerable, books themselves cannot provide true acts of friendship. Ideally, each newly diagnosed person should be given a stack of Pogrebin's book, How to Be a Friend to a Friend Who's Sick, to give freely to their friends and acquaintances. It's a gift that speaks for itself. Indeed, this is Pogrebin's vision. I couldn't agree more.

Post surgical scars, caused by surgical procedures, can be a source of discomfort for the patient, primarily when surgery has been performed on areas of the body that are often kept bar, including the face, neck , arms and hands.
According to board certified dermatologist Dr. Shumaila, making incision in the skin and cutting through skin layers during surgery typically result in post surgical scars. This can happen regardless of the skills of your surgeon; however, sometimes surgery carried out by a less skilled surgeon may increase intensity of post surgical scarring.
A majority of people who underwent surgery agreed that post surgery scars are a great source of aesthetic concern for them. Uneasiness for the patient may increase if the scars are large and prominent, affecting self-esteem of the patient resultantly. It has been noted that not all post surgical scars are the same: some scars are upraised while others are more casted down, and some may be red in colour while others may be white. The texture and overall appearance of the post surgical scars can also be different.
A latest laser treatment procedure called ablative fractional resurfacing is considered to be a safe and effective method to get you rid of post surgical scars. Dr. Shumaila says that 6 months after laser treatment of post surgical scars, noticeable improvements could be seen, including improvement in overall look of the skin and texture and pigmentation improvement.
Another latest laser therapy technique combing ablative CO2 laser with fractional photothermolysis has also been found to be very effective in treating post surgical scars. The procedure involves the use of laser lights in a very unique pattern to eliminate tapered piles of tissue from the skin. The procedure is normally repeated every 3-6 weeks.
Dr. Shumaila's clinic is equipped with a wide range of latest laser treatment technologies. Moreover, the expertise of Dr. Shumaila and skilled staff of Dermalase make our clinic the best dermatology service providers in Islamabad. If you have post surgical scars on your body and want to get rid of them, book a consultation session with Dr. Shumaila today.

The August 2006 issue of Forbes
The August 2006 issue of Forbes had a piece about Romanian business development, and it was an excellent opportunity for Omnilogic to be part of this important editorial project. Under the title The Information Highway in Romania: On The Right Track, the Fortune writers made a company profile, starting from an interview with Gabriel Marin, managing director Omnilogic. "Expanding by 20.2 percent, the information technology and communications sector (IT&C) is the fastest growing area of the Romanian economy. As the leading company in the sector for the past ten years, Omnilogic now has as its goal to be among Europe's top twenty companies in system integration. Under the direction of its founder and managing director, Gabriel Marin, the company is currently concentrating, therefore, on the sale of high-end, value-added-products such as branded servers and workstations, telecommunication products and high-end networking gear", states the article.
"For Omnilogic membership of the EU is, beyond the obvious challenge, mainly a great opportunity and I strongly believe that we are prepared to take advantage of it", said Marin for Forbes. And the story continues: Marin started Omnilogic 14 years ago with 500 dollars. "It was like the Wild West at the very beginning," he recalls. "Romania was a country with high opportunities but without any rules. Somehow, we did follow-up the general economic rule that spectacular success stories usually start in transition times, simply because in a well-settled economy you cannot really grow explosively." Today Omnilogic has a turnover of almost $165 million and the company management forecasts total revenues of $400-450 million for the 2008 financial year and up to $1 billion by 2011.

Having already dramatized it to great effect on the big and small screens, Jay and Mark Duplass are now putting together a book of essays on the "messiness and awkwardness of life." According to Deadline, the multi-hyphenate duo has followed up their Netflix multi-picture contract by signing a deal with Ballantine Books. The as-yet-untitled book will be "a highly personal exploration" of the messiness of life, as told through the Duplass brothers' "sincere anecdotes, goofy moments, and—uh oh—'funcomfortable' episodes that chart their journey of collaboration." In it, the brothers will try to define (via whatever's the written equivalent of mumblecore) what it means to be a husband, father, friend, and "collabros," i.e., brothers who work together all the time despite occasionally wanting to kill each other. The book will be published in 2017, at which time the Duplasses will probably discuss turning down another tentpole feature.

Smartphones have become the first love for many Indians. We go to bed and wake up in the morning with our smartphones tucked in our hands. The 5-inch screen has become our best friend today and is proliferating at a high speed. A new report from Counterpoint Research states that India is now the second largest smartphone market in terms of active unique smartphone users, with the total base crossing 220 million users. This also makes India the second largest smartphone market in terms of active unique smartphone user base in the world.
India, the fastest growing smartphone markets in the Asia Pacific region, saw 103.6 million smartphones being shipped in 2015 – an increase of 28.8 percent as compared to 2014. While Samsung followed by Micromax hold the biggest market share, India, in the last couple of years, has seen the influx of Chinese players. China has begun to slow down and vendors are now looking for greater avenues to leverage India's untapped potential in the smartphone market.
With similar intentions, Chinese smartphone maker OPPO entered India in 2014. The company says it has shipped just over a million handsets in the last fiscal year with the second half of the year contributing around 5,50,000 smartphone units, a period which OPPO claims helped it penetrate the market.
OPPO has been a slow starter but today India is an important market. From the end of last year and specifically in Q1 2016, the company has gone guns on marketing and promoting the brand. Starting from tying up with TV show Big Boss, the smartphone company went on claiming the maximum ad spots in the recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup. According to a study, OPPO grabbed a major share of 22.59% share during the tournament, which was played in India.
The marketing campaign of OPPO geared up with the dawn of 2016, when the company roped in Bollywood actors Hrithik Roshan and Sonam Kapoor as its South Asia region brand ambassadors. This year OPPO also signed a four-year deal with ICC (deal cost approx. Rs 225 crore) to become the Official Global Partner worldwide for the mobile phone category.
With the cricket season approaching, OPPO released the much-needed TVC with its brand ambassadors. The TVC featured around OPPO F1 and it being a selfie expert. The smartphone which comes with a 16MP front camera focused on the most common human behavior with smartphones i.e. taking selfies. The TVC showed how the smartphone could make your okay selfies into spectacular ones. At a time when other smartphone markets have focused on product features and durability, OPPO has focused on a very common but a massy feature.
With the ICC T20 World Cup about to begin, OPPO launched "Cheer for India" a 360-degree marketing campaign to bring cricket fans closer to all the excitement and action on ground, informed Sky Li, OPPO Global VP, MD of International Mobile Business and President of OPPO India. "Cricket is the most popular and loved sport in India, worshiped and loved by many young consumers who are also OPPO's targets. We wanted to reach out to our consumers and give them a chance to experience the magic of watching cricket live and cheer for team India."
The campaign involved bringing cricket fans closer to all the excitement and action on ground like joining the cricket toss session and taking a selfie with both the captains before the match; standing a chance of winning ICC WT20 final tickets on purchase of OPPO F1, etc.
On digital the brand created a microsite that was hosted on OPPO website and the fans uploaded their selfies on Facebook and Twitter with #WT20SelfieExpert. Sky informed over an email interaction that winners were selected randomly and declared on the microsite and OPPO's official Facebook and Twitter pages. The winners then had a chance to either be a part of Toss O-Fans, or have his/her selfie chosen for OPPO moments.

Along with driving user-generated content, the brand ensured more celebrity participation. OPPO roped in other glamorous celebrities who clicked selfies and shared it on social media. "OPPO is a camera phone known to take the perfect selfies and this is what we wanted to communicate via our celebrity users and influencers. By leveraging partnership with these influencers, we have been able to get closer to the Indian customers and spread the love of taking selfies," Sky shared.

During this time OPPO had also launched a limited edition OPPO F1 ICC WT20 smartphone. Prices at Rs. 17,990 the handset came with a T20 world cup logo on its back. Customers who bought OPPO F1 phones during this time stood a chance to win VIP tickets for the World cup finals.

The campaign has been brilliant for OPPO with spends of Rs. 100 crore on-air and on-ground sponsor during the world cup. The company has seen a 30% monthly jump since October 2015 and going forward OPPO plans to spend 10 times more on marketing this fiscal year. "The campaign aimed to get closer to fans of cricket and it has been able to do that exactly. We have also been able to connect with our target audience through our online and offline activities further helping people experience our camera technology and spread the love of taking selfies."
Earlier this month the brand launched its second camera-focused F series phone, the F1 Plus, priced at Rs 26,990. Sky claimed a 28% volume market share in the Rs 15,000-Rs20,000 category and 3.1% overall market share, citing Gfk data.
To promote the new F1 Plus during the ongoing IPL madness in the country, OPPO has already roped in cricketer Yuvraj Singh, as its first sports ambassador for this cricket season.

Sky tells LI that in the coming days the brand is also launching a charity campaign named "Game on, Selfie on" in association with Yuvraj's YouWeCan foundation on the brand's social media platforms. "The brand objective is to bring hope to the society and create awareness about cancer. Our future plan focuses on engaging more people to experience and love OPPO's outstanding camera phone products in an interesting way."
Along with marketing promotions, OPPO has gone the old way in terms of sales. The brand is putting efforts in offline rather than online flash sales, a trend followed by most smartphone companies these days. It is guessed around 20% of the total smartphone sales are made online, while the 80% is still controlled by the offline stores. Amit Bhawani, Founder at Phoneradar writes that OPPO is following a similar strategy that was earlier chalked by Gionee.
"Gionee has been a leader in promoting their devices offline that were primarily the reason why they have been successful with slow growth in the country & now OPPO is also following this strategy."
Sky accepts the fact that OPPO is currently focusing on the offline market which could bring the best service to local customers. He further adds, "For offline market, this year OPPO is targeting 35,000 sales outlets in India in 2016."
Clearly, OPPO is investing in building the brand in India by investing money on brand promotion, channel development and have been focusing a lot on building their offline network. It won't be easy but OPPO is in no hurry and understands the potential of Indian smartphone market. India still has a long way to go as the smartphone penetration of the total potential population is still below 30 percent.
Basabdatta Chowdhury, chief executive at Platinum Media, part of Madison Media Group speaking to ET said OPPO is doing what Samsung did when it came to India.
"They are investing in building the brand. It is very encouraging that Chinese are also investing in building brands. When Samsung came to India, it invested in cricket in the late 1990s and early 2000s to build its brand that yielded rich dividends."

Originally uploaded in SSRN.
Is there an "International Community?" This Article suggests that there is not, that the oft-discussed fragmentation of international law reveals that there are in fact multiple overlapping and competing international law communities, each with differing views on law and legitimacy.
This Article reaches this conclusion by taking a fresh look not only at the sources of fragmentation, but at the sources of international law itself. Building on earlier work rethinking international law's sources and drawing insights from legal philosophy, compliance theory, and international relations, this Article takes a closer look at three areas that have challenged traditional interpretations of international law, (1) human rights, (2) global administrative law, and (3) the law applied by international tribunals. What it finds is that the challenges posed by each area run much deeper than doctrine, that in fact, in each area a new legal community has formed that no longer shares traditional international law's understanding of legitimate lawmaking. These legal communities no longer recognize a single, unifying doctrine of sources.
Such a realization puts conflicts over international law in a new light. To the extent that debates between human rights and international humanitarian law or trade law and the environment represent debates over the standards for legitimate lawmaking rather than conflicts over interpretation, doctrinal fixes will never fully resolve them. Instead, they must be viewed as true conflicts of law; resolutions must mediate between the overlapping demands of different legal communities.

As the largest ethnic group in Papua, Asmat tribe resides in a part of West Papua specifically southwest of the island. These Melanesian people live separately into two regions where some of them inhabit the coastal area and the other live far in the hinterland of the forest. Discussing Asmat, it is directly connected with a traditional life in keeping their belief toward the ancestors. One of the ways how to retain hereditary habits is by shaping a block of wood becomes the sculpture.
The Chronicle of Wood Sculpture as a Sacred Tradition
Carving is an ingrained habit of Asmat passing for generations in years. It is not only an idea to make use of the natural abundance as available in the forest, but woodcarving is just beyond what it seems. Therefore, this activity is a kind of sacred tradition which treated with great respect as they want to reflect the forebears into the sculpture they made. The Asmat believe when they carve the wood, they communicate with the spirit as well. It is a media for them to link the living and the dead which impossible to separate from their daily lives.
Carving skill is a gift yet it still can be learned by others like a father who teaches the children how to create the boat. The talented carvers often called wowipits, wow means the activity of woodcarving and ipits means the man. They take a big part in sculpture making especially for the sacred one dedicated to the ancestors' spirit.
The Purpose of Woodcarving
Mainly, for the Asmat, carving the wood has some objectives. At first and the irreplaceable goal is to memorize their family who passed away or their ancestors. Besides, they want to appreciate the nature where they live by moulding the natural characters on the wood. Another reason is to express their feeling of happiness or the contrary. Asmat is an ethnic group who highly appreciate the nature as they live side by side with it.
The Characteristic of the Sculpture
Asmat carvings are famous for their several different forms. Mostly those form figures which reflect the dead family. These designs sometimes curve on their boats because they believe that the dead one will be very happy to be kept in mind. Then, there are shields and natural patterns of trees and animals. Trees design depicted a deep philosophy for the Asmat because they think that tree is like a human. The root of the tree means the human's foot, while the stem means the body, the branches are for hands, and the leaves mean head. Those made based on their own daily life and impossible to have the similarity considering the Asmat often directly carve without making any sketch.
One of the famous sculpture is called bis pole. This is a figure of their ancestor in their life. They create this figure as the remembrance of the dead one. They believe when they make the bis, the spirit of the family who already passed away will come and live in that sculpture. Thus, sometimes bis carvings have a name based on the people they dedicated to. Not all of dead people will be remembered through this sculpture, just some particular people worth this tribute.
Material, Tools, and Techniques
The carvings are made using the sago, teak, and mangrove wood were taken from the jungle. To create an astounding sculpture, they use the simple tools instead of the complicated one like a machine. They just use the rock axe to cut down the tree, bone, and shell to carve the wood. Fortunately, despite of the simple tools, they enable to make the impressive sculpture that widely known throughout the world.
The making process of the sculpture needs a long procedure. Start by cutting down the tree by the male of Asmat which later will be brought to the village. Before, they should remove the branches from the tree. At the village, this wood is given to wowipits as the talented carvers. It takes a day or more to make one sculpture.
Besides, the Asmat also coloring the sculpture mostly with red, black, and white. Each of these colours has its own meaning. The red colour means meat and blood, white means bones, and black refers to their black-coloured skin. Those colours made from the natural sources that can be found around.
Wood Sculpture Sold as a Potential Commodity
Because of its detail and unique forms, the woodcarvings made by Asmat tribe become the potential commodity for them. Even though it costs a lot of money but the result is worth to buy. Especially for those who live far away from West Papua, it can be a lifetime souvenir that cannot be found easily in any place. The simple souvenir that possible to bring across the world is a unique panel of wood with tribal lines and animal form on it.
The art of carving is common and can be learned by some people. However, for the Asmat tribe in West Papua, it is a hereditary skill and the special one because they still involving their beliefs in making the process not merely about fulfilling the need.

Perry and Romney Trade Swipes Over 'Real Economy'
By Danny Yadron and Neil King Jr.
DES MOINES, Iowa – Texas Gov. Rick Perry showed little hesitation Monday in taking swipes at the front-runner for the GOP nomination, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney — only 48 hours after Mr. Perry officially joined the presidential race.
As Mr. Perry walked along the midway at the Iowa State Fair, a reporter asked if he had any reaction to a Monday comment by Mr. Romney, who was in New Hampshire touring a small manufacturer: "I think understanding how the economy works by having worked in the real economy is finally essential for the White House, and I hope people recognize that," Mr. Romney told reporters, according to the Boston Globe. Mr. Romney was an executive at Bain Capital before running Massachusetts.
Mr. Perry responded: "Texas is the real economy."
Later in the day, the governor went a bit further, according to The New York Times: "Take a look at his record when he was governor. Take a look at my record," Mr. Perry said, adding later, "Running a state is different than running a business."
Many voters are just getting to know Mr. Perry and his record beyond his much-repeated claim that he can deliver a Texas-size boost to the nation's employment figures. (When Washington Wire trailed Mr. Perry in New Hampshire this weekend, some Republican primary voters said they knew nothing about Mr. Perry other than he is from the Lone Star State.)

Importance of Selling Skills
All businesses require some type of selling platform. Some companies allow their websites to do all the selling while others use commercials. But selling in person or over the phone is one of the most complicated methods. When customers come into or call a business, having someone on hand who has natural or learned selling skills is important. Successful selling is an art; a successful sales person is usually a very intuitive and observant professional.
Types of Selling Techniques
Relationship or personal selling is one of the most common selling techniques. It requires the sales person to develop trust with the customer and relate to him on a personal level as a way to eventually close a sale. Another selling technique utilizes reverse psychology, also called "soft selling." The sales person provides the customer with full information on the product but does not push the sale. In fact, he might actually discourage an immediate decision as a way to relax the customer and convince him to eventually buy. Certain types of businesses succeed using a high pressure sales method that pushes the customer to an immediate action to take advantage of a limited time deal.
Whether you run your own business or work for a company in a sales-related role, you'll need to hone your selling skills. Customers are usually very intuitive; they can sense an inauthentic, incompetent or dishonest sales person. You must practice everything from voice tone to body language (maintaining eye contact) to how to close the sale after making your pitch (ask for it). The selling skills of employees could make or break a company.
One of the simplest ways to improve your selling skills is to observe a successful sales person in action. Ask an experienced sales person to mentor you if you're new to the field or attend seminars hosted by sales experts. Learn your selling skills by viewing an expert in action rather than trying to learn from a book.
Expert Insight
Training and performance expert Bill Cushard has several simple tips for company managers who want to help sales people brush up on their selling skills. First is to ensure that sales employees practice the craft, whether through hypothetical or assisted sales calls. Second, keep the training simple and to the point. And manage the scale of the sales training program to keep it small and personal.

Do sign languages have the same characteristics as spoken languages?
Sign languages (SLs) are natural languages, as they arise naturally from a need to communicate with deaf infants. Their acquisition process is very similar to that of spoken languages, and deaf babies go through the same stages of acquisition as hearing babies. In addition, although they are gestural languages, SLs are located in the parts of the brain responsible for language.
True or false?
- SL is an artificial communication system
- SL is universal
- SL is connected with the local spoken language
1. Sign language is not an artificial communication system
Sign language is not an artificial communication system. There are, however, artificial communication systems that are used to teach spoken language to deaf children. These systems include:
- Cued speech, which facilitates speechreading
- Sign supported speech, which combines spoken and sign language and is used as a basis for learning the grammatical structure of spoken language
- Fingerspelling, which is a representation of the letters of the written alphabet using only the hands
2. Sign language is not universal
All known and studied languages in the world are listed on the Ethnologue website. Among them there are more than 140 different sign languages from all over the world. This is an estimated figure, however, as there could be other sign languages that are yet to be studied. Furthermore, the difference between what is considered to be a language and what is considered a dialect is still unclear, as the study of sign languages is very new. There is also an international sign language (ISL), which, although not a natural language, it serves as a communication bridge between deaf signers from different countries.
3. Sign language is not connected with the local spoken language
SL has no connection with local spoken languages. It is, therefore, common to find different sign languages in countries that share a single spoken language, as well as regions or countries that have their own spoken language, but which share a SL with other places. Here are some examples:
English-speaking countries:
Spanish speaking countries/places:
Basque country:
What are the main sign language families?
Below there are the main linguistic families and the languages they comprise:
1. Old French Sign Language:
Genetic relationship originally developed in France to educate deaf people
- French SL
- American SL
- Catalan SL
- Spanish SL
- Dutch SL
- Quebec SL
- Irish SL
- Flemish SL
2. British, Australian and New Zealand Sign Language (BANZSL):
Genetic relationship developed by colonialism and emigration
- Australian SL
- New Zealand SL
- British SL
3. Japanese:
- Japanese SL
- Taiwanese SL
- Korean SL
4. Scandinavian:
- Finnish SL
- Swedish SL
- Norwegian SL
Not all SL families are "pure", and there are influences between SL caused by a variety of factors. For example, there is an important influence of American SL on Ghanaian SL due to historical missionary work.
