Juan Mata, Fernando Torres and Cesar Azpilicueta are celebrating after Spain beat Italy on penalties to reach the Confederations Cup final on Thursday evening.
A 0-0 draw in Fortaleza, in which Torres played the first 94 minutes of the 120, and Mata was introduced as a substitute after 79, ensured the second semi-final would end in a shootout and it was the Spanish who emerged triumphant, booking themselves a final spot against hosts Brazil on Sunday.
Torres came close to breaking the deadlock before the break, firing narrowly wide, while in extra-time Mata almost connected with a Javi Martinez cross but could not reach the ball. That meant penalties, and the Chelsea number 10 converted his effort for Spain, who eventually won in sudden death when Jesus Navas fired home following Leonardo Bonucci's miss.
It promises to be an exciting encounter, when David Luiz and Oscar, coached by Luiz Felipe Scolari, meet the Spanish trio in Sunday's final.

Senior Extension Associate
David Kay is a Senior Extension Associate with the Community & Regional Development Institute (CaRDI) in the Department of Development Sociology. David provides leadership for CaRDI programming in the areas of energy, land use and community development. His work on land use involves research, outreach, and training efforts that attempt to build community-based decision making capacity and to help weave local policy into a regionally coherent fabric. He has increasingly focused on the community and economic development implications of energy transitions. His research and outreach work is especially concerned with building informed decision making capacity in the context of community controversy. David serves on the boards of several city, town, county and New York State State not-for-profit or government organizations concerned with sustainability and municipal land use planning.
Research Focus
David's research focuses on a number of issues pertaining to local and regional development inclusive of land use planning, climate change and energy transitions, and governance. Within the category of land use, engaged research has focused on residential land use preferences, implementation of NYS's "Smart Growth Policies", and survey research on local government needs for comprehensive land use planning. Within the category of energy transitions, David's research has focused on the socio-economic impacts of hydraulic fracturing practices and natural gas extraction, as well as the issues for local governments and communities pertaining to scaling up large-scale solar electric facilities. In all cases, the issues involve the interrelations of phenomenon with questions regarding community/economic development opportunities and the challenges of informed decision-making for policy makers and their stakeholders.
Outreach and Extension Focus
As a program manager for the Community and Regional Development Institute, David's outreach work spans partnership building, facilitating policy dialogues, capacity building, and research. Often this involves cultivating conversations between local and state policy makers, identifying training and informational needs, and designing initiatives to assist and support informed local and regional decision-making. This formula is applied across issue areas: from land use and energy to community and regional economic development.

With the paid-content model coming back, Verizon Wireless has struck a deal with Danal Inc. to allow customers to buy digital goods online and charge them to their phone bills using only their mobile numbers.
Starting later this spring, Verizon's 92.1 million customers will be able to use Korean-based Danal's BilltoMobile service to spend up to $25 a month on items at online stores including game sites, social networks and virtual worlds.
Given Verizon's huge customer base, the initiative positions the carrier to compete more directly with the major credit card companies and big payment players like PayPal and Apple, as well as a bevy of payment startups. If subscribers grow accustomed to using their phone numbers for micropayments or impulse buys, then Verizon stands to benefit.
"Working with Danal will give our customers the opportunity to make direct online mobile payments with the most secure, feature-rich, convenient method available," said Ryan Hughes, Verizon's vice president of business developments, in the announcement Monday. Delivering on those promises will be key if Verizon is to convince customers to switch from using credit cards or other payment options for virtual goods.
Here's how the service works: a user clicks on the BilltoMobile button during checkout at a participating retail site and then enters their mobile number and billing ZIP code to authenticate. A text message is then sent to the consumer's mobile phone with a six-digit passcode. After the code is punched back into the site, the purchase is completed. Verizon says the entire process takes only 15 seconds and requires no pre-registration.
Another big question is what e-commerce partners are on board. Verizon and Danal have not yet disclosed any specific sites that would offer BilltoMobile, but it's clear from the types of outlets mentioned -- gaming sites and social networks -- that they are targeting the growing sale of virtual goods on Facebook and other sites.
A study by Inside Facebook last year predicted that this emerging market would swell to $1.6 billion from only about $500 million in 2008. Startups such as Zong, Boku and Obopay are already tapping into this burgeoning segment by letting people use their 10-digit mobile numbers to pay for virtual goods in social gaming.
Verizon entered into a partnership with Obopay in 2007, mainly to allow people to send money to each other via mobile phones. An Obopay spokesperson said its relationship with Verizon was unaffected by the new deal, since its service doesn't involve billing directly to wireless accounts like BilltoMobile.
With its $25 monthly spending cap and focus on the digital goods niche, Deepa Karthikeyan, a wireless analyst for market research firm Current Analysis, said Verizon's alliance with Danal will not immediately threaten credit cards or PayPal in mobile. But it should help Verizon against the other major carriers.
"This service offers Verizon Wireless a differentiator and helps it to better appeal to its users who are online shoppers and don't wish to deal with the hassles of entering their credit card information," she said.
Verizon also said BilltoMobile would provide merchant fees that are "significantly lower than traditional mobile billing rates" without providing further detail. But according to VentureBeat , the service will charge fees of less than 20% of the value of a transaction. Danal bought a controlling interest in U.S.-based BilltoMobile last month.

A Florida teacher accidentally stumbled upon a locked box of ballots two days after Tuesday's elections — and no one knows if the ballots were used.
Lakeisha Sorey, a teacher at Sunshine Elementary School in Miramar, told the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel that she found the gray bin, marked "Provisional Ballot Box," Thursday in the same area where voters lined up two days earlier to cast their votes. Provisional ballots are used in questions of a voter's eligibility, including a lack of photo identification where required or incorrect information is provided on the registration.
"I didn't want to touch it," Sorey said.
So she called her friend, State Rep. Shevrin Jones, for advice. Jones, in turn, called the Broward Supervisor of Elections Office, where a woman told him the ballots were probably blank, despite the box being locked.
"I was shocked about it," he told the newspaper. "I don't think you'd lock up extra ballot paper. I'm hoping someone will at least go verify and make sure there are no ballots inside the box."
A few ballots could go a long way in Florida, where the races for both governor and Senate are fast approaching recount territory.
As of Thursday evening, Republican Ron DeSantis led Democrat Andrew Gillum by barely 36,000 votes as both vie for the governor's office, while Democrat Bill Nelson trails in the Senate race against former Gov. Rick Scott by about 15,000 votes.

No matter how progressive we get, there's no getting over the clichéd North vs. South debate. From Twitter to Facebook, netizens have rivalled over the battle of regions, boasting about the best thing stuff their turf has to offer. We reckon the North is slowly loosing its foothold so we've rounded up 10 of the best things about the boreal Manila.
Katip is the place to be when you're looking for cuties (Ateneo, duh), gastro pubs, and cool hangout spots. But what it makes up for awesome sights, it lacks in convenience. Most North kids dub Katipunan as a "space-time continuum". It's true, though.

Canvas preparation days.
Kind of a boring post because there is a sea of white in my studio right now! I painted over 40 canvas yesterday and another 12 ~24 x 24's today. At least 10 hours of white soft body Acrylic by Liquitex. The canvas must be painted white because the Gesso actually makes them look grey and the sepias don't look good at all!
I don't use house paint, it would be a LOT cheaper! I use the Liquitex soft body because it flattens out to a smooth surface and has great coverage,. I am also concerned about my collectors receiving an archival product. I order it by the gallon and use a combination of brush and roller.
Most of the time the big ones require two coats!
Anyway, I'm bushed! Sorry for no sea creatures to fill your dreams tonight!
More coming tommorow, I promise!

Beware of YAML serialization on Linux without libyaml
The Problem
I noticed some unusual behavior with respect to YAML String serialization between my Linux production system and my Mac OSX development system.
After dumping the production database via pg_dump -O –no-acl mydb | gzip > ~/mydb.sql.gz and then restoring it on my development system via rake db:drop; rake db:create; psql mydb < mydb.sql, I noticed that a particular serialized field in my Rails app that should always be an Array of String objects occasionally contained Integers.
After a little research and experimentation, I discovered that the production Linux system would occasionally omit quotations around Strings containing only numeric digits. I haven't analyzed the pattern fully, but here are some examples where the YAML serialization did or did not use quotes:
- "90103"
- 000080
- "000071"
- "000124"
- "000003"
- 008397
- 000408
- 000009
- 000188
- "000021"
Further investigation revealed that the Linux production system was using Syck (a "dated C implementation of YAML 1.0") and my Mac OSX development system was using psych (a "libyaml wrapper (in Ruby core for 1.9.2)"). libyaml is a "fast C implementation of YAML 1.1. So, either the quotation rules have changed between YAML 1.0 and YAML 1.1, or there is a bug in one of the implementations (likely Syck).
The Solution
The solution for proper "future" behavior is pretty simple. Install libyaml on the Linux system as follows:
wget http://pyyaml.org/download/libyaml/yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz tar xzf yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz cd yaml-0.1.4 ./configure make make install
I think that's enough, but I went ahead and rebuilt my Ruby 1.9.2 just in case it needed to know about the existence of libyaml at build time.
The solution for converting my database with YAML 1.0 serialization to YAML 1.1 serialization is a bit trickier. Since the "dump" and "load" operations are matched for a particular version of YAML, it seems difficult to load the data using YAML 1.0 (thereby retaining the String type when reading an unquoted 000088) and then dump the data using YAML 1.1 (to get proper quoting of '000088'). Further complicating this is the fact that Rails handles the serialization operations automatically.
It does appear possible to dynamically switch between syck and psyck by using the following:
YAML::ENGINE.yamler = 'syck' YAML::ENGINE.yamler = 'psych'
So, one option is to repeatedly switch to syck, read in data, switch to psych, and then write the data. <sigh>
It appears that due to the semantics of the Rails serialize function, it's not enough to just read the model object using syck and then immediately write with psych because that doesn't appear to be enough to cause the field to be deserialized. I had to refer to the field for each object. This is a pain because it prevents me from doing a generic loop where I can handle all model objects easily w/o reference to their specific fields.
I'll withhold judgment for a while, but my first inclination is to consider abandoning YAML serialization for something a little more robust and portable.
Update 2:
It appears my welcome from psych is a serious memory leak. I've been running long running Ruby/Rails processes for years, and this is the first time I've experienced a failure due to an out of memory condition. There are a number of Google hits regarding the issue. After I fix the leak, I'll begin researching alternatives to YAML serialization in Rails.
Update 3:
The number of bug reports on psych and rubygems I've had to wade through recently is amazing. My current solution is to remove the psych system gem and install Ruby 1.9.3p0 which required upgrading Passenger to the latest version from source to get Ruby 1.9.3 compatibility. I still had to track down a few odd errors such as "undefined method `yaml' for #<Psych::Nodes::Stream:…>" and "invalid date format in specification: "2011-10-02 00:00:00.000000000Z"" – all because I chose to use the default Rails serialization assuming there would be no issues. Lesson learned.

Road construction essentialsSaturday, April 27th, 2013
There are some differences in construction equipments for road construction when comparing it to construction equipment for housing. One of the essential construction equipments for roads is the pneumatic operated concrete mixing and batching plant. It has aggregate buckets, bulk head gates and is powered by a cell of 4 load capacity on a mounted screw conveyor. Its functional parts are the control panel, the plant control cabin, the radial scraper and most importantly the cement and water weight measuring component. Also necessary is the hydrostatic sensor paver. It is used not only for road construction but also for bridges, highways and roads on all terrains.
Soil compactors are also among the basics for road construction. They have in them oscillating joints at the centre, articulates steering, hydrostatic systems and indicators for oil pressure, fuel gauge, engine temperature and much more. Also essential to road construction is proper signs that are required to detour traffic on roads infested with cars all the time.

Going to School to Stay Out of Jail
Contrary to stereotypes of hard-nosed prosecutors and stern judges, not every District Attorney or criminal court judge is out to lock up every lawbreaker for the maximum term. In every state, there are programs designed to keep offenders out of jail and to steer them away from future offenses. We're all familiar with probation, which substitutes supervision for jail time.
In recent years, other types of alternative approaches have been implemented. We've documented several of them: Mental Health Courts, Drug Courts, Juvenile Diversion, Veterans Courts, Adult Diversion, Family Dependency Treatment Court, and Traffic School… Read More

It's very difficult to get the right diabetes mellitus definition. On the other hand, there are some definitions that only doctors can understand something. I'll try to make it easier for you.
According to doctors' point of view, you'll have this kind of definition
Diabetes mellitus is an alterable disorder of the carbohydrate metabolism which is caused by a combination of hereditary and environmental factors, and is usually characterized by improper secretion or utilization of insulin.
Let's come to a simple explanation of diabetes mellitus. It's a condition in which your pancreas does not secret insulin properly or your body cells do not use it properly.
This leads to the accumulation of high amounts of blood sugar, high urine sugar concentration and the consequent complications.
Pancreas is the organ in your body which produces insulin. Insulin is a substance [hormone] which helps your body cells let in sugar. Sugar is a very important source of energy for your body cells, especially for your brain.
There are some hereditary and environmental factors which affect the diabetes onset.
Your family history of diabetes or inadequate lifestyle habits can cause diabetes.
If you have type 1 diabetes, your pancreas does not produce insulin at all.
Meanwhile in type 2 diabetes, your pancreas produces insulin, but this is not properly utilized by your body cells or it's altered insulin and cannot be secreted and utilized properly.
So, now you may understand
the importance of information on diabetes mellitus [including diabetes mellitus definition]
in order to prevent it or its devastating complications.

Bitcoin's Rally "to the Moon" Seems Unstoppable as CME Futures are Approved: Week in Review Dec 4
The price of bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $11,800 in the past week as the cryptocurrency's positive momentum continues.
While many believe that the price of bitcoin has gone up too high too quickly, which would suggest that a sharp correction could be just around the corner, the new money flowing into bitcoin is pushing the price of bitcoin up the new highs for several weeks in a row now – albeit with quite some volatility.
After bitcoin's highs near $11,400 on November 29, the price of bitcoin dropped by almost 20 percent within 24 hours, only to recover above the $11,000 mark again over the weekend and push toward $11,800.
That new inflows into bitcoin have been fuelled by the announcement that Nasdaq intends to launch bitcoin futures in mid-2018 and the CME's regulatory approval to start trading bitcoin futures in mid-December as well as growing bitcoin awareness as bitcoin is going mainstream as an investment asset.
The altcoin market also experienced a stellar week with cryptocurrencies such as DASH, monero (XMR), IOTA (IOTA), and litecoin (LTC) hitting new all-time highs as bitcoin's appreciation is also pulling up other coins during this year-end rally.
This week's review is compiled from contributions by Joseph Young, Priyeshu Garg, and Rahul Nambiampurath, and Robert DeVoe.
Study Reveals at Least $26.4 Billion Worth of Bitcoin Lost Forever
According to research conducted by cryptocurrency-focused digital forensics company Chainalysis, at least 2.78 million bitcoins are forever lost on the Bitcoin blockchain network. This number could even be as high as 3.79 million bitcoins.
At today's market price, 2.78 million bitcoins are equivalent to roughly $26.4 billion, given that the price of bitcoin has increased nearly 37 percent, from $6,000 to $9,500 in the past month. Using empirical data provided by the transparent Bitcoin network, the Chainalysis research team calculated the number of bitcoins that are "out of circulation."
Bitcoin Exchange Regulations Near Completion in South Korea
It has been reported that the authorities in South Korea are getting close to finishing a set of regulations that are related to cryptocurrency exchanges and bitcoin.
The financial authority and regulator in South Korea is the Financial Services Commission (FSC), and they have outlined how these regulations are going to take shape. Their primary focus is to ensure that cryptocurrency exchanges play by their rules and maintain a strict hold on the sector in the country.
The regulatory body announced in 2016 that they had plans to bring in specific regulations related to the bitcoin exchanges, focusing mainly on areas of licensing and regulatory parameters. They want to systemize digital currencies in the same manner as in other developed countries like Japan and the United States.
Iran's HCC Welcomes Bitcoin with Regulations
The High Council of Cyberspace in Iran (HCC) has announced its acceptance of bitcoin in Iran, albeit under strict regulations. Although cautious in its initial approach, the Iranian authority spoke positively about the future of the use of cryptocurrency in its society. With the aim of keeping all bases covered, the HCC has imposed strict regulations to govern the use of bitcoin and altcoin in the country.
Secretary of the HCC, Abolhassan Firouzabadi spoke of the above to ILNA, a local news agency, of the acceptance of bitcoin. He expressed that there are already a large number of people in Iran who are dealing with the cryptocurrency in various ways.
Elon Musk Denounces Claims of Being Bitcoin's Founder
On November 22, 2017, a Medium post on the website Hackernoon caught the attention of the entire cryptocurrency market with claims that Elon Musk was the original creator of Bitcoin. An independent writer, Sahil Gupta, wrote the original article using the Medium platform.
Gupta's article argued that Elon Musk's experience with cryptography, economics, and programming made him fit the bill almost perfectly.
Shortly after, the founder of Tesla took to Twitter and publicly denied these claims on November 28, 2017, in an almost direct response to growing media coverage on the subject.
Major Ethereum Scaling Solution Casper to Enter Testnet Soon
Lane Rettig, an Ethereum researcher, and founder at CryptoNYC, New York's first blockchain-focused coworking space and app studio, has revealed that the Casper FFG testnet will launch soon, and moves closer to being implemented onto the Ethereum blockchain network.
Casper FFG is a solution introduced and developed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin; it utilizes a hybrid Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus protocol to minimize mining and further scale the Ethereum network at an exponential rate.
CME Launches Bitcoin Futures Trading December 18 Following CFTC Approval
In what has been a highly anticipated development, a specific date has finally been announced for the launch of Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.'s (CME) bitcoin futures. The news comes after they finally got the go-ahead confirmation from the regulator to offer these investment products.
Though the announcement was made earlier, the specific date for launch was only revealed on December 1. The CME is the largest futures exchange in the world, and it has successfully come through the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) testing to be allowed to launch this new product on December 18, 2017.
After the announcement, the price of bitcoin rose as the market anticipates the large influx of institutional money in just under three weeks' time.
Chinese Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Exchanges are Prospering Overseas
Leonhard Weese, the founder of the Bitcoin Association of Hong Kong, revealed in a November 29 Forbes article that OKCoin, Huobi, and BTCC, which were once the three largest cryptocurrency exchanges in China, are prospering in overseas markets such as Hong Kong.
In September, the Chinese central bank People's Bank of China (PBoC) and local financial authorities cracked down on cryptocurrency exchanges, imposing an indefinite ban on trading bitcoin and other cryptoassets.
By the first week of November, all of the exchanges in the Chinese bitcoin market had shut down and relocated to neighboring countries. BTCC, OKCoin, and Huobi settled in Hong Kong and began to provide over-the-counter (OTC) trading services to international users. OKCoin and Huobi rebranded to OKEx and Huobi Pro respectively and started serving traders in Hong Kong and other markets within Asia.

IRS Summons Coinbase, but the Bitcoin Exchange Fights Back
Following a summons from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to bitcoin exchange Coinbase to reveal customer information, the firm has enacted stiff opposition to the request.
The US tax authority requested information on all of Coinbase's customers who bought bitcoin between 2013 and 2015. Pointing to just three instances of tax evasion through the use of bitcoin, an IRS agent claims at least two of these incidents were aided and abetted by Coinbase. Along with the view that bitcoin conceals individual's identities, the IRS is especially interested in investigating virtual currency users further to uncover more potential tax evasion cases.
As the largest exchange in the US, the request from the IRS would see the full transaction history of millions of Coinbase's customers handed over. However, the bitcoin exchange's head legal counsel, Juan Suarez, stated on November 18:
"We want to work with law enforcement, that's generally our policy. But we can't tolerate sweeping fishing expeditions. We are very concerned about the financial privacy rights of our customers."
The effortless sweep of customer information to identify bitcoin users is eerily reminiscent of the mass surveillance campaigns that Edward Snowden warned the public about, where gigantic amounts of data were captured and then combed through afterward. Tailored requests have been complied with in the past by the exchange and Coinbase are required by regulators to verify the identities of all users, but a 'fishing expedition' on this scale is, so far, unprecedented.
Following the tax rules enforced in 2014, any gains on the sale of bitcoin must be recorded to the IRS. It is this information that the authorities are claiming to not have adequate access to; with this information the IRS could then determine whether their users are making the correct tax payments. Despite this, Coinbase will stand firm and keep their user's privacy safe, at least as a collective.
Also, it remains to be determined as to whether the IRS is able to gather the information without the cooperation of Coinbase, so the case for such a sweeping request may, in fact, be unfounded.
Reuters reported on November 20 that lawyer and founder of Decentralized Legal, Chris Padovano, stated that he expects Coinbase to refuse the government's request.
"It's very likely, considering their customer base and the philosophical base of most of their users, that Coinbase will challenge this summons. I think that they need to keep their base somewhat appeased."
While at first, it may seem that the government's hand has been too heavy on Coinbase, Padovano goes on to say that he is unsure whether the actions of two individuals could provide the rationale for a case against the exchange to release user information.
The IRS maintains that the group of people using Coinbase have been separated from the general public due to the characteristics of being a US citizen transacting in digital currency, in which the summons states digital currencies possess a more favorable risk to reward ratio for tax evasion relative to more traditional methods.
However, legal analyst Padovano says that questions surrounding whether or not this is a good enough reason for such an extensive request remain.

Pay Per Click advertising (also known as PPC) is one of the best ways to drive immediate results through online marketing campaigns. It allows advertisers to allot a specific monthly marketing budget for their online ads that are extremely targeted, continually monitored and highly optimized.
We have years experience managing Enterprise PPC marketing budgets and we only take a limited amount of clients at a time so we can give your marketing campaign my fullest attention. At an agency, your account gets thrown into a large pool of other accounts and each one might get looked at a couple times per month at the most. Not here. With me you will have someone monitoring your account daily to make sure your marketing budget is being used to its fullest potential.
Everything starts with defining clear KPI goals, business objectives and milestones for your own pay per click program. Extensive research is done prior to launching any pay per click marketing campaign so that I have an intimate understanding of your business, your industry, and your competition. Your campaigns are constantly monitored, analyzed, and optimized to meet your goals. My approach includes but is not limited to:
• Comprehensive Full Account Analysis.
• Keyword Research, Analysis, and Application.
• Ad Copy and Landing Page Optimization.
• Content, Remarketing and Banner Campaigns.
• Bid Management to Maximize Your Monthly Budget.
• A/B testing and Conversion Rate Optimization
• Analytics Access to Monitor Traffic Behavior for Each Individual Keyword.
Reporting for your campaigns will involve weekly snapshots and monthly in-depth reports that detail key metrics. The goal of these reports is to show continuing performance, growth, ROI and highlights. Reports can also be generated on-demand when needed, and will allow easy analysis and decision making.
The standard report format shows a comprehensive overview of important metrics such as Conversion Rate, Cost per Click, Click thru Rate, ROI and all other key metrics. Further details such as channel performance (Bing vs. Google and actual keyword performance data are also given to provide comprehensive coverage of the campaign performance in the requested time period.
The #1 complaint we hear from clients who worked with bigger agencies is lack of communication. This occurs because at agencies you will have a designated account manager who has probably between 60 – 80+ other accounts that they're also in charge of. If you need something done on your account, you would first need to let your account manager know, who will then have to forward your request to his PPC Analyst, who will then get to it when he gets to it. This usually leads to your request not getting done for days or sometimes even weeks depending on how backed up they are.
Here you will be communicating with me and only me. There are no middle men. Every phone call or email you send will go directly to me and I will make sure your needs are taken care of as quickly as possible, likely on the same day.
Pricing and Conditions
There are no contracts and my work is backed by a 30-day risk free money back guarantee. If at anytime you are not satisfied with the work, I will return your account to its original state and refund all fees. We will do everything in my power to deliver your business the results it needs to grow and dominate the competition.
We offer a pricing model with a set management fee or as a percent of the months spend. There is also an initial setup fee that includes reports that fully break down all metrics of the past history your account and where we can eliminate wasteful spending right out of the gate as well as the strategy moving forward.
To get a free consultation, fill out the form below and I'll contact you within 24 hours to discuss your goals and pricing options. No obligation.

DJ Luemas155 presents a set of short shows at least once a month, these shows will consist of playlists of music, they will last around 60-90 minutes each and could be anything from Fast and Furious to Classical music, some music will be what we tend to play daily, others may be music we never play at all, covering all possibilities.
Not only that but they will also be done with no video and no speech, just pure music and a pretty graphic, Luemas155 is hoping to air 1 of these shows once a month and they will be announced around 1 week before they are aired. (Or less if they are organised last minute)
These shows will not be recorded and will not be able to be replayed at all, so the only way to catch them is to catch it Live!

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game throws you right into the heart of the action, introducing you to a colourful cast including Captain Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner in LEGO form.
The charming LEGO characters are by no means static figures; each one has cheeky facial expressions and delightful physical movements that make them a pleasure to watch. Even Captain Jack walks with the hilarious swagger that he possesses in the Pirates of the Caribbean films, and pirate Ragetti can take out his glass eye for fun. In combat, attacking a player with your sword won't draw any blood, but will dismantle your opponent into separate pieces, sending LEGO body parts flying everywhere in hilarious battle scenes.
Locations and settings from the films look fabulous in LEGO form, from the extravagant pirate ships with their cannons and crew, to the sun-kissed desert islands, complete with palm trees and exotic birds.
The game is divided into four adventures, one focussing on each of the films. Once you complete The Curse of the Black Pearl you can move on to any of the other three quests, which are all located in the game's hub - The Port. There are treasures to be found and puzzles to solve here, too - just watch out for the crocodiles.
All aboard! Packed with swashbuckling adventures based on the four Pirates of the Caribbean films, LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game has set sail on PlayStation 3,
Your adventure begins as blacksmith apprentice Will Turner in Port Royal. From the outset, you must utilise the abilities of the different characters to solve puzzles and complete challenges by switching between them. Will's boss Mr Brown fixes things with his hammer, while female characters jump higher to reach ledges and ropes.
Captain Jack Sparrow is the star of LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game. Use his trusty compass to find hidden objects, just select the item you want to look for and follow the trail - as in all good pirate stories, X marks the spot. There are tons of treasures stashed throughout the game that unlock new areas and help you solve puzzles.
There is so much treasure, in fact, that you won't be able to collect it all in the extensive Story Mode. Once a stage is complete, go back to it in Free Play mode and take all of the characters you have unlocked with you. You can then use their abilities to enter buildings and solve challenges that you couldn't previously.
Teamwork is essential in LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game. In the single player mode you can switch between characters to use each of their unique abilities.
If you don't fancy taking on a crew of deadly buccaneers on your own, grab a shipmate and take on the pirates together. Two players can sail the high seas in the local co-operative multiplayer mode. At any point, a second player can join the game and help you on your mission. Together, you can solve puzzles, find treasure and beat the evil pirates.
There are over 70 characters to play as, including Captain Barbosa, Davy Jones and Anamaria. Collect them on your journey or head to The Port and buy new characters with the loot you find.

She studied at the Music Conservatory in Touluse, taking on voice with Claude Jean, piano and harp. She made her début in Toulouse in 1938 and rose to fame singing staples of the French repertoire that include Marguerite from FAUST, Juliette from ROMÉO ET JULIETTE and Manon from Massesent's opera of the same name. As her career progressed she expanded into other repertoire taking on Gilda in Verdi's RIGOLETTO, Violetta in LA TRAVIATA, Mimi in LA BOHEME, Cio Cio San in MADAMA BUTTERFLY, Tatiana in EUGEN ONÉGIN, Desdemona in OTELLO and Thaďs among other roles. In later years CARMEN, WERTHER and numerous operettas would enter her repertoire. She also appeared in a 1943 film entitled LA MALIBRAN.

She appeared in that Debussy work alongside her husband Roger Bourdin. She died at age 98, 5 Jan., 2017."
- David Salazar, operawire.com, 6 Jan., 2017
"Roger Bourdin studied at the Paris Conservatory, where he was a pupil of André Gresse and Jacques Isnardon. He made his professional début at the Opéra-Comique in 1922, as Lescaut in MANON. His début at the Palais Garnier took place in 1942, in Henri Rabaud's MÂROUF, SAVETIER DU CAIRE. The major part of his career was to be spent between these two theatres, where he created some 30 roles.
Bourdin seldom performed outside France, but did a few guest appearances at the Royal Opera House in London, La Scala in Milan, and the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. He also sang in the first performance of surviving fragments of Chabrier's VAUCOCHARD ET FILS IER on 22 April 1941 at the Salle du Conservatoire with Germaine Cernay, conducted by Roger Désormičre.
His most memorable roles were: Clavaroche in André Messager's FORTUNIO, Metternich in Arthur Honegger and Jacques Ibert's L'AIGLON, Duparquet in Reynaldo Hahn's CIBOULETTE, Lheureux in Emmanuel Bondeville's MADAME BOVARY, the lead in Darius Milhaud's BOLIVAR, but also standard roles such as Valentin, Athanael, Onegin, and Sharpless. In all he sang an estimated 100 roles throughout his long career."

Wake Up America! If you want war . . .
America, it's time to wake up. There is a presidential race going on in the Republican Party, and except for Ron Paul, who is an isolationist, there is a lot of hot and bother about dealing with Iran. So, if you want to go to war again, then by all means vote Republican. Both Romney and Santorum have been, to use the President's words "beating the drums of war."
The Republicans seem itchy to go back to war, now that Iraq is over and Afghanistan is winding down. McCain wants to bomb Syria and Romney wants to surround Iran with aircraft carriers. We know that the Israeli PM wants to attack Iran. He continues to say that it's Israel's sovereign right to do so, and he's right. Israel can do whatever it wishes, but what we need to understand is that if Israel starts this, it won't finish it. If Israel starts a war, then it's quite likely that we'll have to finish it.
Here's what we need to remember. Israel is an important ally and it's history gives it reason to be fearful, but Israel doesn't set America's foreign policy. The President of the United States doesn't have to submit his plans to Bibi Netanyahu for approval.
The President has taken a cautious and prudent approach. He's not ruled out military action, but he's got the intelligence information that suggests that the danger posed by Iran is not imminent, and that diplomacy, if given a chance, can work.
What everyone seems to be missing is the reality that while the current Iranian President is full of bluster about nuclear weapons, Mr. Ahmadinejad is little more than a figurehead. His supporters lost in parliamentary elections to the supporters of the true ruler of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Khamenei, who oversees the military and nuclear operations has consistently stated that Iran is not interested in nuclear weapons. Now, he could be lying, but why not listen for a moment. Why not calm down a bit, and see what's really happening.
Attacking Iran's nuclear sites will not be enough to stop their actions. It might slow them down, but Iran is not Libya. Iran is a large state, with a powerful military, and it won't lie down in front of Israel or the US. We might prevail, but as the President pointed out yesterday, at what cost?
So, do you want to go to war? Do you want to see more young men and women come home in body bags? Well, then vote GOP in the Fall, because either they're all talk for political advantage, or they will get us into a war.

If Palm is trying to keep the Pre 2 a secret, they're not doing a very good job. Yesterday we had pretty much all the goods on the new handset spilled by a French carrier, including pics, specs, and new features. Now we get in-hand pictures showing off that new matte plastic shell and AZERTY keyboard (which suggests this too is a… Francophone, wocka wocka).
The screen appears to be unchanged at 320×480 (too bad) and the basic specs have been confirmed: 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM.
Check out the rest of the pics over at Mobifrance.

Professor Azrini Wahidin Inaugural Lecture
In this inaugural lecture, Professor Azrini Wahidin will examine key moments in the history of the imprisonment of Armagh women (such as the No Wash Protest and strip searching).

Femininity in Dissent: The Women of Armagh
During the conflict in Northern Ireland, the criminal justice system played a central and visible role in containing, managing and repressing social disorder and, hence, became associated indelibly with issues of the state.
Although much has been written about the recent political struggles in Northern Ireland, too often it has been women's experiences which have been silenced and under explored. This lecture will chart the contours of women's experiences of imprisonment by contextualising the history of Armagh Prison and the central role it played during the conflict in Northern Ireland.
This paper is based on the testimonies of former female ex-combatants of the Irish Republican Army (IRA). It will examine key moments in the history of the imprisonment of the Armagh women (such as the No Wash Protest and strip searching). By using these examples Azrini will examine how subjectivity, gender, the corporeal body and resistance were articulated in situations of heightened political violence. The impact of the conflict opened spaces for women to place traditional constructions of femininity in dissent. The narratives of the ex-combatants will illustrate how violence became institutionalised and operated 'through strategies about which people seldom talk: namely the mechanisms of fear' (Poulantzas 1978:83).
Azrini Wahidin, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice in the Division of Sociology
Professor Azrini Wahidin joined Nottingham Trent University in 2013. She spent ten years as a Reader in Criminology and Criminal Justice at Queen's University, Belfast where she established and developed a successful Criminology programme in the School of Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work. She was the Head of Criminology before taking up her post at NTU.
Professor Wahidin has conducted extensive prison research focusing on both prisoners and uniformed staff. In particular elderly prisoners on both sides of the Atlantic; managing the needs of older offenders, the female prison estate, young offenders, the lifer system and resettlement. She has given special evidence to the Ministry of Justice and has been involved in prison thematic reviews on women in prison in Northern Ireland with Dame Anne Owers.
Professor Wahidin has written 13 books from leading textbooks, edited collections to single authored monographs. Her most recent publication is her book: Ex-Combatants, Gender and Peace in Northern Ireland: Women, Political Protest and the Prison Experience.
Professor Wahidin has been the recipient of a number of prizes such as Queen's annual teaching prize and has held International Visiting Scholar positions at Middle Tennessee State University and The University of Melbourne, School of Political and Social Sciences. She has recently been appointed a Visiting Professor at the Universiti Sains Malaysia in the School of Social Sciences.
She is the Chair of the Ethics Committee and the Chair of the Midlands Regional Network for the British Society of Criminology. She holds various positions on editorial boards; is a Director / Trustee for various organisations and is a regular commentator on the radio.

This past Sunday, Circle of Fountains had their official 2017 planning meeting. This planning meeting is part of my responsibilities to the group as Circle Coordinator, and it's a job I don't take lightly. In one single meeting, we have the majority of our year planned out, with assignments, responsibilities and dates for rituals, classes and meetings. However, as I planned it, it came to my attention that many organizers of covens, groves or circles - whether they're called Coordinators or High Priest/esses or what-have-you - struggle to find a definitive way of organizing their group. With this article, I will walk you step-by-step through how I planned for and organized our 2017 year in conjunction with my circle. It may seem like a lot up front, but it's so worth it to help your group run smoothly during the rest of the year.
Some Background
Above is a picture from our divination night held directly after our 2017 planning meeting. It gives you a general idea of how many people our circle entails.
We have eight Primary Members; these members have responsibilities directly to the circle. They lead at least one sabbat and one full moon esbat, teach a minimum of two novice classes a year and participate in the facilitation of public rituals and classes through planning meetings. They also hold an office to the circle that helps keep us organized. You can read more about the offices here, though they are not officially updated for the 2017 year just yet.
We have three regularly-attending Associate Members. Associates are live-in significant others of Primary Members. Two of them actively participate in ritual and one takes the photos of our rituals.
We have three Guest Members. Guests can facilitate ritual for the group if they so choose to do so but are generally welcome to attend ritual and events as they see fit.
We also have three Novices for 2017. Novices are non-initiatory partial members who participate in full moon esbat classes to further their studies. Noviceship is one year long starting in January and ending in December, with acceptances for the following year happening in November.
Overall, we have 17 regularly-involved people in our group. This is as big as we can and will get.
Because Primary Members have responsibilities to the group and an active role in its formation and management, the 2017 planning meeting solely involved them.
Oftentimes, we rarely start thinking about the new year until, well, the New Year. Unfortunately, the New Year is a bit too late to adequately get on top of planning for a circle, coven or grove, particularly if you operate similarly to how Circle of Fountains does. Our first full moon in 2017 is January 12th, and February Eve or Imbolc is just around the corner on February 1st. Because each Primary Member is assigned one sabbat and one full moon esbat to lead a year, this short-changes whomever has the first esbat or sabbat of a given year if you start planning too late.
Circle of Fountains holds their 2017 planning meeting in November. It tends to be a usually easy-going month for us, plus it gives our first ritual leaders a two to three month head-start on ritual planning.
The Yearly Planning Form
My circle has a "Business Chat" for circle-related discussions. Over the year, as we discussed ideas for 2017, I threw them into a form on Google Forms. Google Forms is a lifesaver when you're trying to collect information. It's incredibly user-friendly and I highly recommend it.
This year's planning form included the following information:
Continued Membership: This allowed any Primary Members looking to step down to Guest Member to discretely make their needs aware.
Responsibilities: Any member needing to exchange responsibilities or make new suggestions was given the space needed to do so here.
Sabbat Rituals: Every year, I ask each member to give me three sabbats they would like to lead in order of most to least wanted. I then sort sabbats based on these responses. I also asked about ritual hosting, sabbat fees, pot luck changes and preferred sabbat activities and ritual components. THis gave me a full view of what our circle members want out of CF sabbats.
Training and Esbats: Our full moon esbats have been pretty open ended in the past: We open the circle, call the quarters, and then release everyone to do their own activities. Then, two Primary Members and the Novices sit down in a corner of the room and go through one of the assigned classes. In this section of the form, I was able to ask Primary Members what Novice classes they would like to teach this year and what esbats they would like to lead. I also introduced the idea of having four Advanced Classes for primary and guest members. These advanced classes would further the education of our members who are past the 101 and 201 of Witchcraft and paganism. Members were able to suggest topics they want to learn about and would be given three months to prepare for presentation.
Public Rituals: This section covered brainstorming and suggestions for public rituals for CF.
Public Classes: CF is striving to teach two public classes this year. This section covered topic brainstorming for those two public classes.
Public Event: In the event that we are unable to lead a public ritual through one of the local organizations, CF would like to put on their own event. This space allotted brainstorming for that.
Witchy Words: CF Primary Members filled out a short informational survey for their profile on Witchy Words and volunteered for optional guest articles.

Suggestion Box: Exactly what it sounds like.
Google Forms compiles answers into a handy group and individual view. It let me see what most people needed in pie charts and boxed suggestions into an organized list.
Sorting the Information
Suggestions are easy to keep tabs on and the pie charts sort selected answers, but how do you assign things like sabbats that come in order of preference? I would suggest doing something like above. The darker the box, the higher on the list their preference was. If someone said "any sabbat" or "any but these sabbats," I highlighted all possible sabbats with the lightest shading. I left my selection completely unmarked because I had decided in advance that I would take the sabbat least requested.
Sorting these still took finesse. The easiest to place was Midwinter / Yule. No one specifically asked for it so I took it. I then jumped to the hardest: Samhain. Three people specifically requested Samhain as their most-wanted sabbat. I literally drew a name from a hat and ended up with Phaedra. Tamilia wanted August Eve / Lammas more than anyone else did, so I gave it to her and Laura wanted Midsummer / Litha more than anyone else, so it was hers. At that point Amy had to have February Eve / Imbolc or she wouldn't get one she wanted. That left Kolika with May Day / Beltane or she wouldn't get one she wanted. That left me with the equinoxes and our two members who had no strict preference. Once again, I pulled a name from a hat.
And thus we ended up with our sabbat assignments:
Sabbats were the first step. I also had to assign Novice classes, Advanced classes and full moon esbat rituals. I followed a similar process for Novice classes as above. I then looked at advanced classes. Some members had suggestions and some didn't. I ran with suggestions that were either repeated across members or would certainly be considered advanced. Abby suggested the seven principles of hermetic witchcraft. That's something I'm comfortable with as well, so we're together on that. Both Kolika and Andrea suggested Advanced Herbalism, so they both were assigned that. Phaedra suggested Advanced Ritual: A Deeper Meaning and Amy was interested in it when I contacted her about it. Then Tamilia suggested deity aspecting and Laura liked the idea, so they got that.
As I worked to compile our potential schedule, I talked with members as a group and individually to see what they were interested in or comfortable with. I looked at their preferred months for novice classes and esbats and their preferred sabbats. I attempted to not assign them too much in one single month. No member running a Novice class had to also lead the full moon esbat it was being taught under. It took a lot of working and reworking until I finally felt like everyone would be comfortable with the list.

Once I had everything sorted, it was time to compile it.
Creating a Planner
Of course, this meant a trip to the store to collect supplies. I grabbed eight black binders - one for each member, pens, highlighters, post-its, paperclip tabs to help them find sections and a hole punch.
So what does all of this add up to? Let's take a look:
The Circle of Fountains 2017 Planning Binder
When each Primary Member arrived, they took a hole-punched sheet with their name on it and a binder. They also took a pen and a highlighter. Post-its and bookmarking tabs were on trays on the coffee table.
The sheet with their name on it would label their binder as theirs so we don't get them confused at later times.
Each binder has four tabs at the top to designate the four sections. The first section of the binder lists each event and tentative event for the year in order. Members were asked to highlight events they had specific responsibilities to: A sabbat or full moon esbat they were leading or a Novice or Advanced class they were teaching.
The next twelve pages are a full calendar. Members were encouraged to move the top tab to the current month as we navigated throughout the year. As we went through the calendar, Primary Members highlighted events where they had responsibilities once again.
They also bookmarked it with a paperclip tab on the opposite side of the section tabs. For example, on this month, I'm teaching the Introduction class for the Novices. I placed a tab on this month to remind myself that I have that coming up and can easily find it when the binder is closed.
The next section includes all addendums. Some are brain storming addendums for classes, rituals or events. Brian storming pages followed the format we used for planning a public ritual this past year. You can read more about that here.
Other addendums are simply volunteer sign-up sheets. For example, at this year's Pagan Pride Day, we'll be hosting an informational table. I need two people at the table at all times. I will be there the whole day, so I'm asking three people to sign up for time blocks. As you can see above, Laura already signed up for the first one during our meeting.
The last section includes a current, updated version of our Rules and Regulations. Each time we make major updates, I will print out new copies for each person to add into their binder.
Of course, members can add extra pages as needed, particularly to the brainstorming areas. These binders are theirs to use how they need.
At the end of our 2017 planning meeting this past Sunday, each member was assigned their full responsibilities for the year. Primaries walked out with a binder that summarized the sabbat and full moon esbat they were assigned, their two Novice classes and one Advanced class they would be teaching, and all planning meetings. Because we do everything on Sunday nights, the planners included the actual dates and technical dates for each sabbat and full moon, as well as birthdays for each of the Primary Members. Under the Rules and Regulations, each member had an outline for their responsibilities and code of conduct, as well as what would be expected of them for sabbats, esbats, classes and public events. While this may all look like a lot to take on, we still only meet two to three Sundays a month and Primary Members are expected to contribute only 3-5 hours outside of those meetings each month. The circle is a large part of our life but it certainly shouldn't overtake career, family or health.
Naturally, how we organize our year is based on how our circle runs. Not every circle, coven or grove splits up sabbats to individual responsibilities, teaches Novices, has Advanced classes or participates in public events. That being said, I hope displaying how we plan our year helps you plan yours! Good luck!

This blog is part of our Ruby 2.4 series.
Tempfile class
Tempfile is used for managing temporary files in Ruby. A Tempfile object creates a temporary file with a unique filename. It behaves just like a File object, and therefore we can perform all the usual file operations on it.
Why Tempfile when we can use File
These days it is common
to store file on services like S3.
Let's say that we have a
file on S3.
Working with this file remotely is
In such cases it is desirable
to download the file on local machine
for manipulation.
After the work is done then
file should be deleted.
Tempfile is ideal for such cases.
Basename for tempfile
If we want to create a temporary file then we needed to pass parameter to it prior to Ruby 2.3.
As we can see above the generated file name begins with "bigbinary" word.
Since Tempfile ensures that the generate filename will always be unique the point of passing the argument is meaningless. Ruby doc calls this passing "basename".
So in Ruby 2.3.0 it was
that the basename parameter
was meaningless for
and an empty string
will be the default value.
But the same was not implemented for
This was
in Ruby 2.4.
So now the basename parameter
is set to
empty string by default,
to keep it
consistent with the
Tempfile#new method.

Seniors bid farewell to Hellman, for now
Tuesday, April 5, 2011
Category: Sports > Spring > Tennis (Men's)
Like nearly every home match for the last three years, senior captain Pedro Zerbini will wage battle on the top singles court. Today's 1:30 p.m. match against San Diego is the last time it will happen at home in the regular season.
But it might not be the last time it will happen in his career.
A win today could boost the No. 6 Cal men's tennis team's chances at hosting the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament in May, giving Zerbini and fellow seniors Bozhidar Katsarov, Jonathan Dahan and Zach Gilbert an opporunity to play at the Hellman Tennis Complex even after the Senior Day celebration closes.
"They're not a conference team," coach Peter Wright said of San Diego. "But as far as NCAA goes, combined with the fact that this is our last home match, makes it critical."
The last time the two teams met was in 2005, when the Bears defeated the Toreros, 4-2.
Rosters of players and coaches have changed since then - this is only Brett Masi's second year as coach at USD - but similar results from both teams throughout this season could lead to a similarly close final score.
After a five-match winning streak was snapped by Texas A&M on March 16, the Bears (10-5, 2-1 in the Pac-10) have traded wins and losses for the last three matches. Meanwhile, the Toreros' 12-match winning streak - two matches short of an all-time school record - came to a halt after Pepperdine handed them a 6-1 loss last Saturday.
The Toreros have played lower-profile colleges while the Bears scheduled more top-25 competition; still, both USD and Cal earned wins over Arizona, UCSB and Utah and lost to No. 2 USC.
The team's performance in doubles is bound to be one of the deciding factors of the day.
The Toreros only dropped the doubles point three times in that 12-match streak, and they field a No. 15 tandem of senior Dean Jackson and junior Patrick Pohlmann on the top court.
Cal went four matches at the beginning of the season before grasping a doubles point, and the team didn't reap results until it settled on a regular lineup that placed the No. 22 duo of junior Nick Andrews and sophomore Christoffer Konigsfeldt at court No. 1.
According to Zerbini, the team has been playing "lots of doubles" in practice, with a focus on keeping the ball low on returns.
"If we can make lots of first serves, then that makes all the difference," Zerbini said.
Wright said that at this stage in the season, longer, more all-encompassing practices have given way to more specific drills to sharpen the players' competitive skills in preparation for postseason.
But regardless of the final score, the seniors will remember this day as the culmination of their time spent at Hellman.
"It shouldn't be any different in terms of play," said Zerbini. "But at the same time it's more special. It's been a great experience playing here the last four years. It means a lot to me."

With this bright and airy screened porch, matching siding and white trim beautifully blends the new space with the home. We chose a gable roof in order to welcome as much natural light as possible into the screen room. What this creates is a space that invites in the enjoyable elements of the outdoors such as fresh air and sunlight while eliminating light rain and mosquitoes. This project was custom designed and built by Long Grove, IL screen porch builder, Archadeck of Chicagoland.

Yesterday I started with a 5k walk which was great. After not running for quite a while I bit the bullet and went out this morning to run/walk. Wasn't sure where to start on the programme but as I find it better to have Laura timing me I decided to give week 4 a go to see how I would manage. I'm delighted to say that I did it and once I settled into it I think I could have run for a bit longer so next time maybe week 5. Just a case of finding out how much I can do without overdoing it before I get back to the full 30mins. I'm so pleased to be back to it after falling by the wayside for a while.
I have logged it on the 5x50 website but as I didn't measure the distance, just the time, it says the distance is 0! I'll have to edit that later (with an estimated distance) as apparently you can't edit the entry using an ipad which I'm on at the moment. Will have to wait until I'm at home later - can't let the side down with no distance at all!
Good luck to everyone else!

The combative arts (Kshatriya Vidya) practiced in historical hermitages have been based mostly on a complete and interrelated body of knowledge. Brandeis provides majors and minors in music , theater arts and the advantageous arts You can find our arts alumni on Broadway, in Hollywood, main museums and performing in concert halls worldwide. Artwork from native and nationwide artist are also on display in the gallery with art reveals and receptions multiple occasions throughout the year.
The Arts District Co-op was established in 2014 to provide a communal space for local artists and artisans to promote their products. These are sometimes multicolored and sophisticated in design, and so begin to push the boundary of whether or not they need to actually be outlined as graffiti artwork.
Maybe if a number of the individuals behind the graffiti art had been taken in hand and skilled, they may use their inventive abilities in more productive ways. Artwork is, thankfully, a piece of human creativeness and creativity that's free from any bondage or check.
As a Christian and a martial arts pupil, I've usually wrestled with the concept of self-protection. Nonetheless, some religions like Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism are believed to be originated from mortal human beings though, the follower of their religions typically try to exalt their status to the level of deity by calling Mahavir Jain and Buddha not as bizarre human beings but avatars or the incarnation of God and establishing their statues like God.
It's evident that the source of all arts, science and faith is the imagination of the human thoughts. However for street art, the Arts District is my go-to. LA MAGAZINE is a small gallery in the coronary heart of Hollywood blvd that displays native arts and artists of Southern California.
Dance can also be used to explain strategies of non-verbal communication (see physique language ) between humans or animals (e.g. bee dance , mating dance ), movement in inanimate objects (e.g. the leaves danced within the wind), and sure musical varieties or genres Choreography is the art of making dances, and the one who does that is referred to as a choreographer.
In nowadays of budget cuts and restricted assets, it's usually the case that wonderful arts courses are the primary to be lower. That is definitely a place where artists can categorical themselves with their abilities, though we did come across a valet parking area with "not on your youngsters's eyes" graffiti art. My go to places listed below are Angel City Brewery, Arts District Brewing, Boomtown Brewery, Salt and Straw and Wurstküche.
He didn't use the time period opera for his works, but as a substitute Gesamtkunstwerk ("synthesis of the arts"), generally referred to as "Music Drama" in English , emphasizing the literary and theatrical components which were as necessary as the music.
Not that the Arts District Co-Op is much better than that horrible band. Like their neighbor, Cleveland Arts, this cooperative comprises all the pieces from boutique clothes by local designers to industrial Edison lighting. Since our God, the Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit created the universe with the Words, the artists create the wonder with their hands.
The noise coming out of the Arts District Co-Op is simply ridiculous. This does not make martial arts unacceptable to God however God clarifies what is and is not acceptable in regard to deadly force in numerous conditions. An artist creates the physique of the reality however the soul of the truth comes from the imagination of the viewer who pours his own soul in the art.
Artist Calls
All human creations may be divided broadly into three categories i.e. science, faith and arts. Other works in the late nineteenth, 20th and 21st centuries have fused other disciplines in distinctive and creative methods, comparable to performance artwork Performance art is a performance over time which combines any number of instruments, objects, and art inside a predefined or much less properly-defined construction, some of which might be improvised.
Throughout considered one of my martial arts classes, one in all my fellow college students requested our sensei, "What assault should I make now?" He had just completed training a collection of intense self-defense techniques on his partner, rendering him harmless.
Signal Up
As a matter of fact, some forms of arts like motion pictures and novels clearly state that these are the work of fiction and any resemblance with the actual fact or actuality is solely accidental.
All human creations could be divided broadly into three categories i.e. science, religion and arts. The position of the architect, though altering, has been central to the successful (and typically less than profitable) design and implementation of pleasingly constructed environments by which folks reside. The Institute for Up to date Art is on a mission to spark discussion, set off emotion and promote collaboration with provocative art, lectures and performances from native, nationwide and international artists.
It wasn't as organized and there was no cohesiveness however it was the Arts District, it was LA. As a matter of truth, some forms of arts like films and novels clearly state that these are the work of fiction and any resemblance with the actual fact or actuality is only unintentional.
A scientific idea too starts with an creativeness or hypothesis made by the scientist. Design was emphasized more than the nice arts, so faculties of design were based throughout Europe through the 18th century. Hitting these Marmas can freeze and disable sure parts of the body or make one unconscious.
That's why I drive down from my metropolis, Arcadia, nearly every week to see if what's new, and to respect the artists. New director Dani Rae stated the pageant had been "part of the inventive lifeblood of the region" for forty years. Art education is an space of studying based mostly upon the visual, tangible arts, resembling drawing, portray, sculpture, and design in jewelry, pottery, weaving, and fabrics.
Martial Arts And The Bible
As a Christian and a martial arts scholar, I have usually wrestled with the concept of self-protection. By and enormous crayons make up a big proportion of arts and crafts actions for children within the age group of 4 to 10. What's fascinating about crayons is that as the years have passed by the entire business and not simply the namesake of the gadgets, Crayola, has switched from probably-toxic to non-toxic nearly-edible markers.
You possibly can help arts education schemes in California by putting an arts license plate on your California automobile. If there's a universal reality in these arts, it could have an effect on the souls of different people as they'd discover the Truths in these fictions even when it may possibly't be confirmed.
Local Influence
There are such a lot of advantages of youngsters doing arts and crafts it is hard to listing them all proper right here so we'll think about only a few of the most beneficial. However, the human imaginations are given totally different names like fiction, hypothesis or the revelation relying upon the creation. Certain artwork types, corresponding to graffiti, may also be unlawful once they break laws (on this case vandalism).
Fashion design college students deliver their sketches to wonderful life at VCU's annual style present in May, whereas their counterparts in fashion merchandising study a thing or two about present manufacturing. I really like the Arts District because of two components: It is proper by Little Tokyo, my stomping grounds for a lot of, many years.

The combative arts (Kshatriya Vidya) practiced in ancient hermitages have been based on a complete and interrelated physique of data. Whereas ornamental arts are sometimes taken up by amateurs, there have been many artists throughout historical past which have engaged in such exercise. A cool place to meander in case you just so happen to be within the Arts District. Albert Einstein mentioned "All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the identical tree.
