KORO has carried out many art projects at the University of Tromsø, Norway's Arctic University over the years. In this guide we have chosen works in buildings that are accessible to everyone and provide an interesting walk around the university area.
For this art walk we have chosen works that provide insight into various art expressions and also a small walk around the university area . In each place you can click on the interactive map and read more about the different works. Some of the art you may already have passed, once or daily, without thinking so much about it. In this artwalk you can choose to let the art speak for itself, press the map and read a short text about it – or you can have a look at the questions that are asked in the text and discuss them with someone. Maybe someone else is next to you looking at the same artwork?
KORO is responsible for public art Projects throughout Norway. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for information and News about the different works.
Yngvild Fagerheim
The porcelain reliefs, ceramic vessels and decorated tiles in the building's central hall are the work of the artist Yngvild Fagerheim (born 1942). Fagerheim also designed the floor of the central hall with its geometric pattern of slates and ceramic tiles. Fagerheim's artworks were integrated into the interior design in collaboration with the architects.
The porcelain reliefs are titled Our honour and our power. This phrase is taken from Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson's Norwegian seafarer's song, and is also the title of a play by Nordahl Grieg. Bjørnson's poem glorified the Norwegian seafarer, but Fagerheim's porcelain reliefs have an edge that associates them more closely with the critical perspective of Grieg's play. Read more.
Address: Sentralhallen (central hall), Hansine Hansens veg 36.
How do you think the ceramic vessels and the use of tiles inside the building affect the atmosphere of the Space?
How do the motifs convey a critical view of Norwegian society?
Willibald Storn
Willibald Storn (born 1936) was one of the founders of GRAS, a collective of artists who in the years around 1970 created a new kind of politically motivated art that was inspired by American Pop art. The members of GRAS were politically active on the left wing of Norwegian politics. One of their achievements was to work with artists' organizations to improve artists' working conditions and professional status. Storn's imaginative, energetic imagery juxtaposes violence and angst with dream-like and erotic visions. He has been described as both a rebel and a firebrand. Read more.
Address: Vandrehallen (Stornhallen), Hansine Hansens veg 36.
What stories can you find in the paintings?
Iver Jåks
Iver Jåks (1932–2007) is considered a pioneering Sámi artist because he integrated Sámi craft traditions into many different forms of artistic expression. He made sculptures in wood, horn, bone and leather, but also worked with metal, textiles, drawing, printmaking and watercolour. The collection of approximately 70 works by Jåks at the Theoretical Disciplines Building is the second largest in Norway. The largest collection is at The Sámi Collections in Karasjok. Jåks's miniature sculptures evoke associations with traditional Sámi culture. These associations arise primarily from the materials used. It is seldom possible to identify specific tools or utensils. Read more.
Address: Solhallen, Hansine Hansens veg 36.
How do you think that Jåks's works tell us something about Sámi culture?
The size of the objects and the way they are positioned together affects the way we perceive them. They may look like a game – or perhaps like the results of an archaeological dig. What do you think?
Britta Marakatt-Labba
Britta Marakatt-Labba (born 1951 in Sweden) is considered one of the foremost Sámi artists. In her works she creates miniature worlds using needle and thread. Sometimes she depicts everyday scenes, while other examples of her work are more political. She has also highlighted conflicts between Norway's indigenous population and mainstream Norwegian society over the exploitation of natural resources. Her 24-metre-long embroidered frieze History is inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry in France and depicts motifs taken from Sámi mythology and history. See more images here.
Address: Solhallen, Hansine Hansens veg 36.
Can you see a story depicted in the images?
How do you interpret the artist's use of colour?
What is the meaning of the large yellow shapes?
Guttorm Guttormsgaard
Guttorm Guttormsgaard (born 1938), whose output includes prints, drawings and public artworks, has been a leading figure in Norwegian cultural life for many years. One of Guttormsgaard's most striking works is The Labyrinth, which he created in collaboration with the landscape architect Bjarne Peter Aasen (born 1933). The Sámi artist Annelise Josefsen (born 1949) has carved two large rocks that act as the "guardians" of the labyrinth. The work, which is made of various types of stone found in northern Norway, took three years to complete. The Labyrinth was inspired by ancient Sámi culture. Historians believe that the Sámi people were building labyrinths as early as the 14th century as magical protection against external threats. At the centre of the 620-metre-long labyrinth is a pool of warm water. The water is kept at a constant 37 degrees, creating a cloud of steam during the winter and a sense of more southerly climes in the summer. At the bottom of the pool a perforated metal panel displays an illuminated star map for the Northern hemisphere. After dark, the pool appears to reflect all the stars in the night sky. Read more.
Address: Universitetsplassen, Hansine Hansens veg 18.
Do you think that the idea of protection is linked to where the work is positioned at the university?
What might the pool symbolize?
Lutz-Rainer Müller og Stian Ådlandsvik
Lutz-Rainer Müller (born 1977) and Stian Ådlandsvik (born 1981) have been collaborating since 2006 on sculptures and installations. The 10 street lamps in their work Dis-position come from cities that are home to the world's largest container ports and airports: Atlanta, Beijing, London, Tokyo, Chicago, Singapore, Hong Kong, Schenzhen, Busan and Shanghai. Each lamp is installed at an angle that is equivalent to an upright (90-degree) angle at its place of origin. In addition, each lamp is programmed to be illuminated during the hours of darkness in its city of origin, creating a 24-hour light display. Read more here and here.
Address: Realfagsbygget (Science Building), Muninbakken.
Does the installation affect how you experience time and place?
Harald Wårvik
Harald Wårvik (born 1956) has created a number of well-known statues and sculptures in Norway. His sculpture Sound Column (1988) was created especially for the Music Conservatory. The project was almost cancelled however because local politicians wanted to withdraw the city's contribution to its funding. After a heated debate, the funding was eventually authorized. Sound Column is carved from Swedish black granite, which in places has been polished to a shiny finish. The sculpture stands 6.5 metres tall and has a diameter of 80 centimetres. Wårvik was inspired by early music, from a time when music notation was in its infancy. He wanted the column to have a Gothic appearance. Read more.

What does the sculpture resemble?
What do you think about the choice of location?
Harald Oredam
Harald Oredam (born 1941) is a painter and sculptor. His sculpture Waves (1993) is made of carved and polished Lødingen granite. The way that the two parts of the sculpture have been sited on each side of the road may give us the impression of waves that are parting to allow us to advance. Read more about the art in the Medicine and Health Studies Building.
Address: Medicine and Helath Studies Building, Hansine Hansens veg.
Look at the two parts from different angles and touch the surfaces of the sculptures. How are they different?
How might one interpret the difference between the two parts?
Makoto Fujiwara
Makoto Fujiwara (born 1938) studied sculpture at Kyoto Art Academy in Japan. He visited Norway for the first time in 1982 after becoming interested in the rock known as Larvikite. Fujiwara works on large outdoor sculptures in an abstract tradition, and is primarily interested in investigating the inherent nature of his sculptural materials. He described his artistic process as a kind of dialogue with stone: he wants to bring out something that already exists within the stone. His sculpture Good morning! Musk Ox is made of carved and polished Larvikite. The title came about when the foreman in the quarry where Fujiwara was carving came over and exclaimed spontaneously "This looks like a musk ox!". Read more about the art in the Theoretical Diciplines Building.
Adresse: Universitetsvegen 30.
How do you think the sculpture is affected by the way it has been positioned?
What does the sculpture feel like to touch?

My paper will discuss the theme of McCarthyism as portrayed in Arthur Miller's play The Crucible. The play uses the fear of witchcraft in the America of the 1600s as a metaphor for the fear of Communism in the 1950s. The difference between the two events is that one was a witch-hunt while the other was a Communist hunt. However, in both historical events innocent people were accused, tried and found guilty largely due to the mass hysteria both hunts created.
Set in the Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, Arthur Miller's play describes the witch hunt that saw blameless people condemned as alleged witches and hanged for crimes they did not commit. Arthur Miller wrote the play in 1953 during the height of McCarthyism, when politician Joseph McCarthy falsely accused numerous Americans of being Communists and his anti-Communist trials ruined reputations, ended friendships and destroyed lives.
The cold war between America and Russia was heating up in 1949 when President Truman reported that the Soviet Union had developed an atomic bomb striking fear into the American nation.
Miller wrote his play in the midst of the second Red Scare when America felt threatened by Communism much like Salem sensed the dangers of witchcraft. Arthur Miller acknowledged this fear when he said, "From being our wartime ally, the Soviet Union rapidly became a expanding empire. In 1949, Mao Zedong took power in China. Western Europe also seemed ready to become Red-especially in Italy, where the Communist Party was the largest outside of Russia, and was growing. Capitalism, in the opinion of many, myself included, had nothing more to say, it's final poisoned bloom having been Italian and German Fascism" (1) Like the fear of witchcraft in the puritan religion of 17th century Salem, America of the early fifties felt that threat of...

A diseased kidney can be more than just harmful for your health. It can be fatal too. Kidney is the main filtration system of our body, which, on failure, can lead to the development of serious health problems. A body without kidney is nearly similar to a filter without a sieve. Kidney failures (renal failure), kidney damage or injury and kidney cancer may invariably lead to kidney transplant surgery. This article will provide you some information on the types of kidney transplants and beneficial detail.
To remove a basic misconception. Kidney transplant surgery is not similar to kidney operation. Kidney transplant includes removal of kidney, which is totally affected, either by oncogenic cells or some other damages and then replacing that kidney with another one. The new kidney is donated by a living person and also in certain cases after death, if the individual has opted as a donor. It is then transplanted on a given condition that it matches with vital biological factors (blood group, tissue type, RH factor etc.) of the recipient.
Kidney surgeries can be successful and avoid transplant, if the diagnosis is made at the earlier state of the disease. If that is not the case then a kidney transplant is done. Kidney transplants increase life expectancy; in fact patients have been known to survive thirty years after kidney transplant. In getting a kidney transplant, it is crucial that you are aware of the basic pros and cons of kidney treatment in various countries.
Nephrectomy and other kidney operations are done effectively all over the world, especially in, Asia, Europe and Mexico, but it is obvious that you will try to go for the best possible option for your dear ones. Cost of kidney transplant is lower in India; this does not in any way mean that the quality is compromised. We do realize India is quite the distance to travel, for patients looking for a solution closer at home. We also offer kidney transplants in Mexico. PlanetHospital has highly qualified Doctors at the best institutions in our team in Mexico.
However, during an emergency opting for the nearest facility that offers kidney transplant options would be the best and convenient choice. It is advisable because, travelling long distances with a critical patient is not at all safe and convenient
Kidney disease can be fought to bring back the patient to a normal life, with a bit of awareness and knowledge. Awareness of information about kidney diseases, their symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, is a start to finding solutions for patients with kidney transplants.
To learn more about kidney transplant procedures, please fill out our web form at www.planethospital.com and receive a free educational kit and an (optional) phone call from one of our specialists
No matter what your kidney surgery circumstance might be, we have a network of surgeons around the globe ready to assist you.Learn More

Libertarian Republican U.S. Senator Rand Paul came out swinging against same-sex marriage in an attempt to appeal to the far right this week.
Rand Paul, who draws his power and popularity from the younger libertarian segment of the Republican Party, Friday attacked same-sex marriage. 61 percent of Republican adults 30 years old and younger support the right of same-sex couples to marry.
"I'm for traditional marriage," the U.S. Senator from Kentucky told Fox News' Bret Baier. "I think marriage is between a man and a woman. Ultimately, we could have fixed this a long time ago if we just allowed contracts between adults. We didn't have to call it marriage, which offends myself and a lot of people."
Calling marriage between different-sex couples marriage but between same-sex couples something else is the essence of "separate but equal," a policy tried and failed countless times across decades of America's Jim Crow and slavery years.
"I think having competing contracts that would give them equivalency before the law would have solved a lot of these problems, and it may be where we're still headed," the 52-year old former ophthalmologist said.
Laws creating all the benefits of marriage while not calling the union marriage have been found to be unconstitutional.
Last month, during the measles outbreak, news broke the Sen. Paul until recently had been a longtime member of a fringe medical group whose beliefs include AIDS denialism and the false claim that autism is caused by vaccines.
And last summer, Sen. Paul announced he supports a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, claiming social issues like banning marriage equality and abortion define the GOP.
In Senator Paul's interview with Fox News on Friday, he also told Bret Baier he would eliminate the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, U.S. Dept. of Energy, and the U.S. Dept. of Education.

Light Fiction
So my good friend Tawnee just joined a band and she asked me to do a drawing for website/album art/what-have-you. This is one of what will probably be a few different images still to come. Also go check out their first couple of recordings at lightfictionmusic. They have a little bit of an old-timey sound to their music that makes me think of sitting in an old classy jazz club or speakeasy, where everyone dresses up and sips on cocktails while smoking cigarettes on those long cigarette holders. But maybe that's just me.

North Carolina's commercial and recreational fishing harvests had mixed success during 2013, according to a report from the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries released this week. Commercial fishermen caught fewer fish for the third-straight year but made more money, also for the third-straight year. Recreational fishermen caught about 10-percent more fish in 2013 than 2014, but still 47-percent fewer than they were catching 10 years ago. They landed 13.3 million pounds.
Commercial fishermen sold 50 million pounds of fish and shellfish at North Carolina docks in 2013, a 12-percent decrease from 2012 and 21 percent less than the 5-year average, according to NCDMF. The dockside value of the catch rose to $79 million, a 9-percent increase over 2012 and 4 percent higher than the 5-year average.
Blue crabs and shrimp continued to top the list of North Carolina's commercial-fishing products. Commercial fishermen landed 21 million pounds of blue crabs last year, an 18-percent increase over 2012. The dockside value of the crabs increased 31 percent to $26.4 million. Shrimp were No. 2 with 4.9 million pounds landed with a dockside value of $13 million. Spiny dogfish were third with 3 million pounds worth $302,248, followed by southern flounder with 2.2 million pounds for $5.6 million, and croaker with 1.9 million pounds for $1.7 million.
The total finfish landings of 22 million pounds was a 3-percent drop over 2012. NCDMF said croaker landings in large-mesh gill nets were down by 1.2 million pounds, and summer flounder landings were off 50 percent due to a drop in flounder-trawl landings, likely attributable to navigational issues at Oregon Inlet.
Recreational fishermen caught more pounds of yellowfin tuna than any other species, 62,1110 fih for 2 million pounds, a 28-percent increase over 2012. Dolphin were second at 2 million pounds and a quarter-million fish, followed by 1.2 million bluefish, 166,608 redfish and 369,500 speckled trout.
The redfish harvest was the highest on record, a 187-percent increase over 2012 figures. Landings of spot doubled to almost a half-million pounds, but are still below history harvest levels.
Recreational spot landings doubled to 462,884 pounds (1.5 million fish) in 2013, but still remained well below historic harvest levels. Sheepshead caught increased by 70 percent, and southern flounder caught increased 37 percent.
NCDMF reported that the number of fish caught and released by recreational fishermen was up 13 percent over 2012 to 21 million.
Recreational fishermen took about a million fewer trips in 2013, a 28-percent decrease over the number of trips taken 10 years ago.

This is one of those recipes I pinned and have been wanting to make. It's pretty darn good! I doubled the original recipe because I have 6 people in my family, so 2-4 chicken breasts wasn't going to cut it. If your chicken breasts are on the large size, you can cut them in half. You might even want to pound them a little with a tenderizer to make them even in thickness. I usually use frozen breasts, which is what I did in these pics. I just thawed them in the microwave and then followed the directions. Also, I don't have a dutch oven, so I just cooked them in a frying pan and transferred them to a baking dish. The whole reason I made this chicken in the first place was to try this recipe here. We liked it so much I wanted to try the chicken on it's own, and it really is good. In this pic I also make my homemade rice-a-roni. I cooked the rice in the pan I browned the chicken in, which added more flavor to the rice.
adapted from therecipecrayonbox.blogspot.com
4-8 boneless chicken breasts
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
2-3 TBSPs olive oil (I used canola)
1. Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with the seasoning, rubbing in to coat.
2. Pour oil in the bottom of a Dutch oven, and heat to med-high. When nice and hot, add chicken to the pan (in batches if necessary). Cook 2-3 min per side. If any chicken has been removed, add it back to the Dutch oven. Place uncovered Dutch oven in a 350 degree F oven for 25 minutes or until juices run clear. Let sit on a plate 5-10 minutes before cutting, shredding, or eating.

Iritis is inflammation of the iris (the colored part of the eye). White blood cells can be seen in the front part of the eye (anterior chamber) by an ophthalmologist using a microscope known as a slit lamp. [See figures].
Iritis can have many causes, including trauma, infection and autoimmune diseases such as Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease), nephritis, and reactive arthritis. It can also be associated with conditions like leukemia and Kawasaki syndrome. Often, though, no identifiable cause can be found. JIA is one of the more common conditions associated with iritis in kids, and children with this condition require routine screening for inflammation in the eye.
Iritis may occur in one or both eyes. Children with symptomatic iritis may complain of pain, light sensitivity, decreased vision, red eye, headache and/or irregularly shaped pupils. The iritis associated with JIA is usually asymptomatic until after visual loss has already occurred. For this reason, both ophthalmologists and rheumatologists have developed recommendations for the frequency of eye exams. These exams can be as often as 4 times a year to monitor for this unrecognized inflammation.
Iritis may cause many ocular problems including iris attachments to the lens (posterior synechiae) or other eye structures (peripheral anterior synechiae) cataracts, glaucoma, inflammation in the vitreous (vitritis) and retina (retinitis), swelling in the back of the eye (macular edema) as well as calcium accumulation on the cornea (band keratopathy). In severe cases, the optic nerve may also be affected (papillitis). These problems can cause severe visual loss, including blindness.
The tests ordered when a child is diagnosed with iritis depend on clinical symptoms and signs. Testing is often not done for a first isolated case of iritis in one eye. When iritis is recurrent or affecting both eyes, testing is usually recommended. Testing may include blood tests for antinuclear antibodies (ANA), rheumatoid factor (RF), HLA-B27 haplotype, sedimentation rate, and certain infections. Imaging may include CT scan of the chest, gallium scan and sacroiliac xrays. In the case of suspected sarcoidosis, a tissue biopsy may be performed. There are many other tests that may be ordered to help identify a possible cause for the iritis
The effective treatment of acute or chronic eye inflammation often requires collaboration between an ophthalmologist and pediatric subspecialists, such as rheumatologists.
Treatment depends on the severity of the ocular inflammation. Topical steroid eye drops are the initial treatment, but steroid may also be given as an injection around the eye or taken orally. Other systemic medications utilized include methotrexate, infliximab (Remicade) and adalimumab (Humira). Dilating eye drops are frequently used to prevent the iris from sticking to other ocular tissues, most notably the lens. Medications for glaucoma are sometimes required. The overall goal of treatment is to eliminate inflammation and minimize the amount and duration of steroid required.
If calcium accumulates on the cornea, surgical removal may be indicated [See figure 3]. An iritis or steroid- induced cataract may necessitate surgical removal. If glaucoma develops and cannot be controlled medically, surgery may be required to lower the eye pressure.

All the cheesecake lovers put your hands up!!!! mememeeee (both hands up :D)Sad thing is, most cheesecakes are high in sugar and fat..so what do we clean-eaters do? The answer is of course, Homemade Healthy Cheesecake!
These Lemon Raw Cheesecakes are so delicious and refreshing that my whole family fell in love with them on our first bites (and this was when the cheesecakes were not even ready yet, I just wanted to take them out from the fridge to check on the taste and texture). So yes, this is a must try!!!
Dried Cranberries x 1 cup
Raw Almonds x 1 cup
Raw Cashews (soaked in water for 6 hours and drained) x 1.5 cup
Fresh Lemon Juice (Can mix a bit of fresh lime juice if you wish) x 1/4 cup
Melted Coconut oil x 1/3 cup
Homemade Almond Milk x 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp
Pure Honey x 1/2 cup (Maple Syrup for Vegan)
Optional: Fresh Blueberries as topping
DirectionsBlend dried cranberries in a food processor until they turn into sticky small bits. Take them out and set aside. Blend raw almonds in the food processor into meal form and then add the cranberries back in and blend the two together until a loose dough form - it should easily stick together if you squeeze it with your fingers. Take out the base mix from the food processor and set aside.
Pour coconut oil, cashews, lemon juice, lime juice, almond milk and honey into the food processor and blend on high until smooth and combined. This is the filling mix.
Depending on the shape you want your cheesecakes to be in, you can grease muffin cups/ baking dish/ square-shaped tupperware with coconut oil. Scoop out the base mix into the container of your choice and press it down with your fingers and spoon. The thickness of the base layer should be around half of your finger tip. Then pour the filling mix into the container on top of the base. You can throw in some blueberries or other fruits as toppings if you wish.
Put it into the freezer for at least 6-8 hours (for me, even after 6 hours, the cheesecakes melt quite quickly so I would suggest you have it frozen overnight).
Once the cheesecakes are set, you can pop them out/ cut them up using a knife. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week.
Ta-dah, these Yummy Raw Cheesecakes are now ready! Hope you love them as much as I (and my Mum and Dad) do! For more healthy and delicious recipes, subscribe to my blog and stay tuned for the most updated posts!

Syracuse vs. Ohio State: Keys That Will Determine Elite Eight WinnerMarch 24, 2012
The Syracuse Orange and Ohio State Buckeyes are going to meet in the Elite Eight, almost an inevitable matchup since Selection Sunday. These teams have eliminated the East region, and with a Final Four berth on the line, expect to see both teams in excellent form.
Both teams are exceptionally talented, led by coaches determined to shake the mantra that they cannot win in March. This game poses many questions and fewer answers, and here are three of the burning questions that are surrounding this game.
Will Fab Melo Finally be Missed?
For the last three games, the Orange have been asked this question repeatedly, and answered each time with a "no." Both Kansas State and Wisconsin were supposed to present the Orange with a huge frontcourt disadvantage, but in both games, Syracuse handled themselves well.
Ohio State brings in perhaps the second best big man in the country, in Jared Sullinger. Already, the doubting of Rakeem Christmas and Baye Keita have begun, as it appears as if neither of these players is capable of matching up with Sullinger.
However, as in the case of Kansas State, the Orange can be out-rebounded and still win. Will the Orange be able to either contain Sullinger or win while still struggling down low?
Is Depth Going to Matter?
Another point repeated regarding the Orange is their depth. The Orange have successfully found a way to play eight quality players throughout this tournament, rotating in and out seamlessly. The Buckeyes, meanwhile, may be the thinnest team in the tournament as they struggle to use more than six players effectively.
Depth will come into play with player fatigue and foul trouble. Both teams can run the floor and score in the transition game very well. Ohio State balances out their tempo well, so Syracuse will have to push the Buckeyes if they want to potentially wear them down.
The Orange also have the depth to take fouls while Ohio State does not. This will be a gritty game with lots of battles down low if Syracuse is to have a shot at this. Getting Jared Sullinger in foul trouble is the easy way to mitigate the largest differential separating these two teams.
Defense Will Win this Game
Both of these teams are excellent defensive teams. The Buckeyes have one of the best individual defenders in the country in Aaron Craft. The size and speed of Ohio State allow their man-to-man defense to be the best the Orange will have faced all year.
Craft will also have the challenge of taking on the 2-3 zone of Syracuse. It is not mythical in any sense, other than this year's Orange execute it better than ever. The length Syracuse has is unprecedented, and every player is looking for the steal to open up the Syracuse transition game.
This will be a one- or two-possession game, with the defenses frustrating both sides equally. The key will be which one can weather the storm of offense in the final minutes to cling to the slim lead.
This may be the closest of all Elite Eight teams based on sheer talent on both sides. The deciding factors will be Syracuse's post presence and Ohio State's shooting. On paper, the metrics seem to dictate that Ohio State should be the slight favorite, but the deciding factor will be the Orange's depth.
In a hard-fought game, the guards of the Orange will be fresh on defense to cause turnovers late and prevent the ball from reaching the post. These few buckets will push the Orange back to a New Orleans Final Four.
Syracuse 71, Ohio State 69

Yeah, see that up there? The unofficial motto of the Marine Corps. Pretty much means that we get rushed around a lot and told to be places at certain times, only to spend a shit ton of time sitting around twiddling our thumbs. That's kind of what's going on right now at Fort Meade, but I honestly don't really mind it. It was annoying at MCT, I admit, because we'd be forced to wake up 0400 and then we'd end up sitting around doing nothing until 0600, but here? It's not so bad. Yeah, I got rushed over here right after MCT graduation only to find out that my classes don't pick up until October, but things could be worse. At least here I get good PT, decent food, lots of free time, and I get treated like a real person.
And really, what more could you ask for?
Well, faster internet and less blocks on sites, I guess, but you can't have everything, right? And I get weekends off here (even though I can't wear civilian clothes or go off base for another week), which means chill time and sleeping in, so honestly, I really can't complain. It's nice here at Fort Meade. Or better than MCT or boot camp at least.
So in that sense, there isn't really much to update on. When I get my camera (I'm having my mom send me a few of my personals), I might take pictures of a few things here and there, but other than that… I'm mainly just waiting to get off of limited liberty. And my first order of business? Go to a spa and get my hands and feet fixed, because that shit is nasty. I've never been to a spa, but I'ma go now, because I can't walk around looking like this. I'll never be able to wear open-toed shoes again.
Next order of business? Get some Asian food. I've already scouted a few places via yelp, so we'll see how that goes.
In other news, our CO has scheduled a mandatory fun day for our squad, meaning we get to go to D.C! My squad is not amused, but I'm actually pretty stoked. I haven't been to D.C. since that field trip in 8th grade, so y'know… Not to mention there's bound to be hella good Vietnamese food there…

Taken on Rob's phone at the race start. It was beautiful, and a little chilly. We all had a great time together.
Here I come! Unfortunately, Jeff missed Kurtis coming in and didn't get any pictures of him. Lila spotted him just after he crossed the finish line.
Meghan and Rob
Finished. Ahhh
The fantastic four!
We all had a great time! I can't wait to do it again next month.
After we cleaned up and checked out of our hotel we headed to Hurricane to Meghan's parent's house for some grilling and relaxing.
Ozzy had a blast with the four other dogs there.
Jeff tries a ghost chili and doesn't even flinch.

Intellecta Docusys Produces Unique Printed Materials with the NEXPRESS
Tuesday, June 14, 2005
Press release from the issuing companyROCHESTER, N.Y., June 13, 2005 - NexPress Solutions, Inc., part of Kodak's Graphic Communications Group, announces that Intellecta, one of Sweden's largest graphic firms, has significantly increased its capacity for short runs and variable data printing for their digital print group Intellecta Docusys via a recent investment in NEXPRESS technology. In addition to an existing installation of five KODAK DIGIMASTER 9110 digital production systems, Intellecta Docusys acquired a KODAK NEXPRESS 2100 digital production color press with a fifth imaging unit and the KODAK NEXPRESS intelligent color and the intelligent coating solutions. Intellecta Docusys maintains facilities in Gothenburg, Malmo and Stockholm, and has a leadership position in black & white as well as five-color digital printing, both web and sheet. The firm serves customers in the industrial sector, such as Atlas Copco and Volvo, as well as the financial industry. These clients have many different target groups and require specific marketing materials that address the unique needs of each group. Tord Johansson, sales manager at Intellecta Docusys, explains, "Our client Atlas Copco has a wide variety of customers from small, personally owned companies to large multinational corporations. They need to target their marketing materials - and this is where we can offer flexibility and strong results." After looking into other systems, Johannsson recognized the strategic opportunities that the NEXPRESS 2100 press with the fifth imaging unit solutions offered. "The NEXPRESS 2100 press equipped with the fifth imaging unit was the best solution in terms of quality and its capabilities for variable data printing," says Johannsson. "The ability to offer our customers a fifth color or coating is also an important advantage." About 30 percent of the jobs done on the NEXPRESS 2100 press are with coating - and the demand is steadily increasing. One of Intellecta Docusys' specialities is printing manuals with four-color covers and black and white inner pages. This is an ideal match for the 2100's ability to add a flood or spot coating with KODAK NEXPRESS clear dry ink as an additional protective layer. Johansson notes that their ability to do short-runs enables Intellecta Docusys' customers to have up-to-date material in the shortest time possible. "They do not want to keep brochures and other marketing materials in stock for a long period of time - the information goes out of date quickly due to product development." The firm is poised to respond to current market demands for even shorter run lengths and full color. It has the right IT systems in place to handle complex printing jobs, as well as efficient planning and implementation processes. Intellecta Docusys enables clients to achieve their strategic objectives, functioning as a partner rather than just a print supplier. "Our knowledge base in CRM and IT-solutions, combined with the technical capabilities of our NEXPRESS digital printing solutions, enables us to be an active participant in our customer's planning process for communication or marketing materials," concludes Johansson. "We are successful in our mission - to make our customers unique to their customers."

Getting Started
With this posting, we are beginning our Blog adventure here at Chora. We would like to use this space to explore issues and themes in cultural education, more specifically museums. For the past forty years of so, we have tried to inform and infuse our museum practice with theory; from psychoanalytic theoretical models of memory and mourning, to anthropological models of identity, ritual, and ideology. Response to this style of work has ranged from infuriating to intriguing. Wherever you might fall on that scale of interest, we hope to engage you in some lively professional ponderings and maybe some new ways of thinking about how we conduct and critique our work.

The key to having a great summer vacation at the beach with your pet is learning in advance the local ordinances regulating the presence of dogs on the beach. All four beaches in North Myrtle Beach: Windy Hill, Crescent Beach, Ocean Drive, and Cherry Grove, share the same list of rules:
- Pets are permitted on the beach from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. between May 15 - September 15;
- Leash law is in effect at all times; maximum leash length is 7 feet;
- Pet owners must pick up and properly dispose of pet waste.
The good news is that pet waste disposal bags are offered pretty much everywhere across North Myrtle Beach. While on vacation here, you can enjoy a walk with your dog on the beach during early morning hours or during late evenings. Things are a little bit different in Myrtle Beach, though:
- Pets are not allowed on the beaches or Ocean Boulevard between 21st Avenue North to 13th Avenue South at any time;
- Pets also are not allowed to be walked on any public beach in Myrtle Beach between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. from May 1 through Labor Day.
- Have your pet get a check up before you leave on vacation to ensure all vaccinations are up to date and the animal is in good health;
- Pack a portable water bowl and make sure your pet is well hydrated at all times;
- Make frequent stops if you travel by car and let your pet get some fresh air and exercise;
- Bring several familiar toys and treats for your pet. This will keep your pet occupied, and remind him or her of home;
- Use a beach towel to help your dog rest in the shade to avoid becoming overheated. Even a trimmed fur coat gets hot in the summer sun;
- If your dog has short hair, it might not be a bad idea to use some sun screen on him or her, too. Pets are prone to sun burn just like humans;
- Beware of the hot sand. If the sand is too hot for your feet, chances are it's also hot enough to burn your dog's paw pads;
- Make sure your dog is on his leash before you get out of the car. Many drivers are too busy looking for a parking spot to see your dog in time for avoiding an accident. Plus, leash regulations are enforced;
- Be considerate of other people. Even if your pet is well-behaved, you never know how an animal will react in public. Some people, especially children, are afraid of animals;
- Be aware of other animals on the beach;
- Keep a close eye on your dog in case exhaustion begins to set in, either in the water or while running along the sand. Never leave your dog in the water unsupervised;
- Do not simply bury your dog's waste in the sand. There are trash cans everywhere, even on the beach;
- Rinse your dog off well before heading back to the car to protect their fur. Avoid ear infections by giving the insides of the ears a quick wipe to remove excess water.
By following these simple tips, you and your pet will enjoy your vacation at the beach and you will build long-lasting, happy memories together. Planning a pet-friendly trip to the beach? Click to see our list of pet-friendly vacation rentals in the North Myrtle Beach area.

Sen. Chase: Coal ash should be excavated
State Sen. Amanda Chase, R-Chesterfield, has introduced legislation that would require Dominion Energy to remove more than 25 million tons of coal ash from unlined storage ponds at its Virginia power stations.
Chase submitted the bill late last week, just before the 5 p.m. Friday filing deadline for the 2018 General Assembly session, which begins Jan. 10. Her bill specifies that any coal ash stored in an unlined pond that is located within a half-mile of a floodplain or river must be excavated and disposed of by another means.
"I just can't in good conscience leave coal ash in the ground," Chase said during an interview last week. "When it comes to people's lives, we need to err on the side of caution."
Coal ash, a byproduct of burning coal to generate electricity, has been found to contain heavy metals such as arsenic, lead and chromium.
Environmental groups contend that removing the ash from unlined ponds and either recycling it or storing it in lined landfills is the only way to ensure those toxic substances can't leak out and pollute bodies of water adjacent to Dominion's Virginia power stations. "The ponds at the Chesterfield site are exceptionally vulnerable to groundwater contamination," said Glen Besa, a county resident who serves as political chair for the Sierra Club's Virginia chapter. "Dominion must dig up coal ash and move it away from where it has already been poisoning people's wells and local streams and rivers."
Dominion's preference is to cap the dry ash in place by covering it with an impermeable synthetic liner and a layer of soil – a process the company says would allow it to most quickly and inexpensively satisfy the Environmental Protection Agency's pond closure mandate.
Dominion officials claim that excavating the ash and transporting it off-site for either recycling or storage in a lined landfill would be cost-prohibitive and result in higher monthly bills for their 2.2 million Virginia customers.
Chase and fellow Sen. Scott Surovell, D-Fairfax, co-sponsored legislation during the 2017 General Assembly session that required Dominion to conduct an independent assessment of the condition of its Virginia coal ash ponds and prepare cost estimates for long-term management of the controversial material.
Dominion hired an international engineering firm, AECOM, to conduct the assessment. AECOM presented its findings in an 846-page report to the State Water Commission last month.
According to the report, Dominion's two Chesterfield coal ash ponds can be capped in place within three to five years at a cost ranging from $246 million to $1.1 billion.
By comparison, the report says excavating the estimated 13 million tons of ash and transporting it to an off-site landfill by truck would take 29 years and cost $2.68 billion, and removing the ash and transporting it by rail would take 24 years and cost $4.6 billion.
Removing the ash and recycling it for use in concrete and other construction materials would take from 21 to 53 years and cost between $1.49 billion and $4.25 billion, the report concludes.
Chesterfield has by far the largest stockpile of coal ash among the four Virginia power stations in the AECOM assessment, which also included Bremo Bluff in Fluvanna County, Possum Point in Prince William County and the now-closed Chesapeake Energy Center in Hampton Roads.
Following release of the AECOM report, officials with the Southern Environmental Law Center suggested it "drastically overstates" the time and cost associated with removing coal ash from unlined storage ponds.
SELC and other environmental groups pointed to operations under way in other southeastern states, such as North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, where power companies are currently excavating an estimated 90 million tons of coal ash from unlined ponds.
Some of that ash is being transported by rail from Duke Energy power stations in North Carolina to a lined landfill in Amelia County.
Nate Benforado, an attorney with SELC, said the report is "skewed toward justifying Dominion's insistence on capping these leaking coal ash pits in place, rather than taking a realistic look at alternative closure methods."
The Potomac Riverkeeper Network and SELC jointly issued a report in November that suggests recycling Dominion coal ash for use in concrete mix is "commercially viable" and could save Virginia taxpayers billions of dollars on public infrastructure projects. The report, titled "Beneficial Reuse of Coal Ash from Dominion Energy Coal Ash Sites: A Feasibility Assessment," was prepared by Dr. Kevin H. Gardner and Scott Greenwood from the University of New Hampshire.
"This report is truly groundbreaking – it demonstrates that the coal ash produced from Dominion's coal-fired power plants can in fact be recycled to be beneficially used as a vital ingredient in concrete to improve highways and bridges throughout Virginia and the nation," said Jeff Kelble, president of Potomac Riverkeeper Network.
Chase endorses recycling coal ash, but her bill doesn't specify how Dominion must dispose of the material once it is excavated.
While she called the AECOM report "very thorough," she still has unanswered questions about the long-term health risks associated with leaving coal ash in unlined ponds.
"I'm not just looking at it from a cost standpoint – we have to think about public safety," she said. "There's a lot we still don't know. How many times has an expert said one thing and it turns out to be something different? I don't want to take the risk and find out they're wrong."
Chase noted that Surovell also has introduced legislation regarding the management of Dominion's coal ash. It's possible their bills could be merged, she said, or she could withdraw hers and sign on to Surovell's bill as a co-sponsor. Asked if she expects these more far-reaching measures to enjoy the same bipartisan support as their 2017 bill did, Chase seemed uncertain.
Republicans currently hold a 21-19 majority in the state Senate – meaning that if a coal ash bill makes it to the floor for a vote, which is hardly a given at this point, she'll need at least one fellow GOP lawmaker to vote with her even if all Democrats support it.
"My goal is to do what's best for the constituents who put me in this seat," she added. "That's what I'm going to do." ¦
