Welcome at my art house! 🙂
Now I show you some projects that I made as home decoration. They bring Halloween spirit at my home.
The basically idea in my projects is – to be funny, but not scary.
Here is scarecrow Birdey.
Hi Birdey,
How do you feel?
– I feel very nice on this warm wall. I love my clothes. Here there are not rain and winds, there are two sweet girls and baby boy at home and they are happy to have me.
Here how was "born" Birdey :
Next is ghost Smiley.
How are you some days before Halloween?
– I am fine and so happy. I can't wait Halloween evening when two little girls and baby boy will be here and say "trick or treat?" It's gonna be a lot of fun :)))
Fabric pumpkins are so cute, too!
… And quilted wall hanging with printed sheet 🙂
For each of these projects, I used old clothes – jeans, pants, shirts. It was so fun and relaxation to created that.
Life is Art!

The home I recently purchased has a metal pole barn/garage. I was thinking about insulating it. I was wondering if anyone had experience with insulating an existing pole barn. I am looking a cheap method. It doesnt have to be perfect I just want it comfortable in the winter. I'll probably put a wood stove and a salamander heater in it. I am leaning towards 4X8 sheets of rigid foam insulation but I am also considering spray foam insulation. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Historical Fiction/Christian
Retails for $14.99
Quakeress Faith Cathwell never imagined she'd find herself on the battlefield during the Civil War, but she had a gift for nursing and abolition. Her childhood friend Shiloh was kidnapped and sold by slave catchers. With the help of Colonel Devlin Knight who finds himself indebted to Faith for saving is cousin's life.. the two of them find their attractions for each other growing and quickly learn that the only thing more dangerous than war that is surrounding them is the battle in their hearts.
Without having read the first two books in this Quaker Bride series, I quite enjoyed this one, although I felt like there were some timeline gaps that maybe one day I can eventually fill by going back and reading the other stories so I can understand the main character more.
Anyways, Faith is a beautifully written and thought out story. The author did her research and you could tell by how she kept the story historically correct.
I felt like the main goal of the story was to find Shiloh, but so much other stuff was going on. I felt like the characters were developed well but some parts of the war and battle struggles dragged on. At the end of the story, I wanted more.
Faith Cathwell is a very strong and compassionate leading lady in this story. I fell in love with the relationship she formed with Dev and I hoped for more depth on the romance but it was very tasteful and appropriate for young readers.
I would definitely consider reading more from this author. I rate this book a 4/5.

The RainmakerBook - 1995
Grisham's sixth spellbinding novel of legal intrigue and corporate greed displays all of the intricate plotting, fast-paced action, humor, and suspense that have made him the most popular author of our time. In his first courtroom thriller since A Time To Kill , John Grisham tells the story of a young man barely out of law school who finds himself taking on one of the most powerful, corrupt, and ruthless companies in America -- and exposing a complex, multibillion-dollar insurance scam. In hs final semester of law school Rudy Baylor is required to provide free legal advice to a group of senior citizens, and it is there that he meets his first "clients," Dot and Buddy Black. Their son, Donny Ray, is dying of leukemia, and their insurance company has flatly refused to pay for his medical treatments. While Rudy is at first skeptical, he soon realizes that the Blacks really have been shockingly mistreated by the huge company, and that he just may have stumbled upon one of the largest insurance frauds anyone's ever seen -- and one of the most lucrative and important cases in the history of civil litigation. The problem is, Rudy's flat broke, has no job, hasn't even passed the bar, and is about to go head-to-head with one of the best defense attorneys -- and powerful industries -- in America.

Absolutely loved this book. It has plenty of humour and courtroom drama although a sad unexpected ending. A great author that very seldom fails.
Loved the "good versus evil" theme. Sad ending, but a great read. Five stars!!
Not my favorite Grisham book but still a very good read. Entertaining, with a little bit of everything
A David-and-Goliath story never gets old, even if a story about evil corporations does. The plot may not be fresh, but the characters are quirky and the dialogue and narration are crisp. If you want to read a Grisham novel, then read The Rainmaker. This book is Grisham at his best.

Christopher Ash on John- EMA 2015, Identity Crisis
There were lots of highlights from this year's EMA – but preachers and teachers will find Christopher Ash's morning expositions particularly helpful. He preached from John 8-10 and our brief to him was to stir and encourage those in word ministry. He certainly did this. I once heard Christopher's preaching fondly described as "understated passion" – there's no doubt what Christopher feels and believes as he preaches, and it's a good model of how passion and power do not equal noise and movement. Many preachers think they need to cover 10 miles in a sermon in order to do justice to the text, but Christopher demonstrates what we believe to be true – the faithful preacher expounds the text and then relies on the Spirit to bring his power and passion to bear. Enjoy and be blessed. I did and was.

Newest signing to Timbalands Mosley Music Group. The dude is not only an incredible singer but he also wrote this and this and seems to be one of those Bruno Mars, Prince or Justin Bieber types who can play every instrument under the sun. I apologize in advance for putting Bieber in the same sentence as Prince.
Really looking forward to hearing what Timothy Bloom comes out with.. Especially if its produced by Timbaland and Polow.

Sara Liz has heard of the legendary freeze ring, but doesnt believe in the tale on bit. She stumbles upon a ring that looks a lot like the one described in the story. You (silent pov) pressure her into trying it on. Even though she thinks its totally bogus, she is hesitant to do so. But, wanting to show you that these kind of stories are nonsense, puts the ring half way on.
Then, something weird begins to happen. Her body gets rigid and she can only move her lips and eyes. You go to take the ring off, then decide it would be more fun to keep her frozen forever. As you push the ring all the way down her finger, she begs for help, just before completely turning to stone.
This 15 minute clip includes 4 short segements featuring this scenario without any cuts or blinks. The 720HD format can be found in my store Cali Logan's Femme Factory.

On July 10th, Jason Schappert and Vincent Lambercy visited Georgetown on their way home to Florida. They had left there three weeks previously and flown to California, and were now about half way back. Their flight was to promote General Aviation, and celebrate the fact that despite their dissimilar backgrounds, two pilots from different countries could fly together and be part of the same family of aviation.
Their visit co-incided with the Texas Aviation Association's Safety Day, at the new Aero Centex FBO. Vincent and Jason had been invited to speak there, and they related how much more complex and expensive it is to fly in Europe versus the United States. I intended to get this online when it was current, but Life Happened, so here we are a couple of months later. However, their message is more than relevant today, and will be more so in the future.

National police conference on automatic number plate recognition
This speech is about the proportionate, transparent and effective use automatic number plate recognition (ANPR).
Thank you for inviting the commissioner to come and speak at your conference. He cannot be here in person but has sent me with his words to give you an insight into the surveillance camera code of practice and his role as commissioner.
Let me start by giving you a little background about his role as Surveillance Camera Commissioner:
- it was created under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012
- he was appointed by the Home Secretary but is independent from government
- the role covers England and Wales
- he's entrusted to ensure that surveillance camera systems are used to support and protect communities – not spy on them
His role is threefold, to:
- encourage compliance with the code
- review the operation of the code
- advise on any amendments to how the code should develop via the Annual Parliament Report (which incidentally is due to be published in a few weeks)
The code
The surveillance camera code of practice contains 12 guiding principles which if followed will mean cameras are only ever used proportionately, transparently and effectively.
The code also covers your obligations as data controller under the provisions of the Data Protection Act.
And as relevant authorities under the Protection of Freedoms Act, you must show the code due regard. So it must form part of your consideration in your use of surveillance camera systems. In case you're wondering the other relevant authorities are Local Authorities, Police and Crime Commissioners and non Home Office police forces.
The code aims to promote proportionate, transparent and effective use of surveillance camera systems.
The commissioner
Prior to accepting this role he was Head of Intelligence at Barclays Bank and before that a police Commander having had responsibility for counter-terrorism investigations throughout the London 2012 Olympic Games.
So he gets the use of technology in supporting the executive arm of the state - supporting investigations and providing reassurance. He also gets how invasive it can be – and how the public trust must be protected. Once lost it is not easy to recover.
Importantly he also understands the speed at which technology develops – arguably quicker than governments can legislate – it can go from 0 to 60 in a flash. All these issues lie at the heart of his role.
Surveillance in the UK
In the UK CCTV is everywhere both publicly and privately and semi-privately owned. All of these models place different challenges on his role.
In general, surveillance is welcomed by the public. We use a phrase 'surveillance by consent' to mean the public consent to being observed where there is a pressing need and it is in their best interests. It has been described like policing by consent. But how much of a platform is given to those who object to the use of surveillance camera systems?
Synectics research showed 84% of people support CCTV in a public space – is this genuine informed consent? What about dual use? 20% crime prevention 80% traffic enforcement and revenue raising. These questions weren't asked! Moreover, now that car tax licensing is going to be enforced by ANPR, will accusations about revenue generation increase?
ANPR use in the UK
This audience will know better than most that ANPR was first conceived, or at least thought of, as a tool for traffic management, legislation and enforcement. As its utility has become better recognised it is now seen as a potent intelligence tool for countering serious and organised crime and terrorism. Do we think this shift in gear comes without privacy issues or concerns from certain quarters of society? Actually does it come without concerns from the police itself, media or man or woman on the Clapham omnibus?
ANPR is used extensively in the UK. Police and local authorities are the dominant users but so do private companies e.g. private car parks. Massive potential for policing including:
- vehicle tracking in real time and retrospectively
- vehicle matching
- geographical matching
- incident analysis
- network/convoy analysis
- subject profile analysis
I'm sure you're all familiar with these techniques but they also intrude on an individual's privacy. Meagan has already spoken this morning about the privacy implications.
Let me now touch on the legality of police use of ANPR.
Royston – you are probably all familiar with the case – raised lots of important issues. Currently, there is no single law covering ANPR use – apart from the DPA because it constitutes personal data. I believe the argument goes as follows: Article 8 refers to the qualified privilege regarding interference into a person's privacy by lawful use. Because there is no law that enables ANPR, Liberty will say that the use is unlawful (because they said so to the Commissioner and myself directly at a meeting a couple of weeks ago). This type of regulation already exists in certain countries – Norway for one! These types of arguments have been powerfully made at a recent conference I attended in Brussels. It is the commissioner's responsibility to advise ministers going forward of any area meritworthy of regulatory change. I think it goes without saying that the more the relevant authorities utilising this legislation can demonstrate unequivocally the 12 principles, the less the pressure there be to recommend any regulatory change.
I will now touch on the key issues in relation to the code – proportionate, transparent and effective use.
Proportionate – have you established a legitimate need for your camera system? Do you undertake an annual review to establish that your camera system meets its stated purpose? Do you know that it meets its stated objective?
Transparent – how much do the public know about the outcomes delivered by your use of ANPR? Do you publish the use of ANPR by crime types in concluded cases?
Effective – are you confident that your system is working as intended? Are your cameras of the required standard? What about your maintenance arrangements? Are your installers versed in managing the mobile arrangements? Are your operators trained and aware of the systems and processes?
Within the commissioner's first weeks in office he was challenged quite robustly on these issues by national media, predominantly the Independent and The Mail. His view was then and is now – the public must be informed of as much information as possible if trust is to be maintained.
For example – is there any intelligence reason that prevents highlighting how many ANPR cameras there are – this is not readily accessible and should be. This is a completely different question to where they are. Are the arguments to conceal the figures intelligently made? Are they not disclosed because the public might feel the size and scale of the operation is beyond what they deem acceptable? All these questions are rhetorical – but the debate must be ensued!
Finally, ANPR challenges will continue to evolve. For example, vehicle cloning will become more sophisticated. Serious and organised criminals will use other means to frustrate the technology.
We saw in October how ANPR usage has been introduced to help enforce recovery of Vehicle Excise Revenue. Surely, this represents one of the first occasions when the state is hot-wiring camera technology into the very fabric of our lives. Was this envisaged as being a primary function of ANPR – probably not. This isn't a critical comment one way or the other – it is merely used as evidence of how technology informs future society and how it develops.
If that's the case it is right and proper that every development is viewed not only through the eyes of law enforcement but through the multi varied prism of public opinion. The commissioner is determined to ensure proper scrutiny as befits an independent regulator.
The commissioner looks forward to working with you to ensure that police use of ANPR continues to be proportionate, effective and transparent.

What makes a man 'cool'? According to ZOO magazine's latest poll, quite a few things. A man's cool factor can be ratcheted up by a combination of: great comedic timing, magic skills, sporting ability, polished vocal chords and a whole load of cash.
The magazine has just announced the winner of their 'Britain's Coolest Man' poll, and the lucky man has staved off competition from Dr Who actor Matt Smith, Prince Harry, Robbie Savage and musician Noel Gallagher to take the accolade.
Last year it was Jimmy Carr who Zoo's readers wanted to emulate - but who's top dog this year? Find out in the slideshow below...

Hope everyone is enjoying the Super Sale over at TPT! I know Juli and I have already purchased some stuff.
Friday when Juli and I were at recess I was reminded how incredibly different boys and girls are. Last year Juli and I were introduced to the idea of single sex classes. We were fascinated at how different boys and girls learning requirements are. Our school does not provide an opportunity to teach such classes but Juli and I talked at length about how I would LOVE an all boy class and Juli would LOVE an all girl class. So of course what happens? This year I get a girl heavy class and Juli gets a boy heavy class! Neither of us were thrilled. But we have pushed forward and gotten used to our roles.
But Friday when we were sitting together at recess, I was amazed at how different our roles are. No lie - in a 30 minute period - these are the words that came out of our mouths to our children...
(Please keep in mind all these statements are made to different children - not the same ones over and over)
"Did your hand make contact with his face in anyway?"
"This is why we are not allowed to play with balls anymore!"
"Should your hands ever touch anyone else?"
"Why is he in tears and needing a bandaid?"
"If you can't control your body, you won't be allowed to play with them."
"I already told you several times that we aren't allowed to play with balls anymore."
"Is this drama or trauma?"
"You know I don't do drama."
"Just because you think they are lying doesn't mean you can call them liars."
"Why is it you think they are talking about you?"
"Why can't she play with y'all?"
"I know you are BFFs, but you have to be nice to everyone."
"I know you were stretching for gymnastics, but she was already in that spot."
So these comments pretty much sum up our days in our rooms. Fun times for all! Speaking of boys not being able to keep their hands to themselves...my own two boys are currently pushing over a super hero toy. BUT there is no drama involved so I can totally handle this!

Wheeler Says It's Time For A Responsible Budget To Be Offered
on Thursday, June 25, 2015
"Today, the Governor held firm to his word that he would not sign a budget that is out of balance and lacks reform," said Wheeler. "My constituents and I have been committed to reform and I'm happy that the Governor has not given in; standing up for the middle class families that are being drown by an ever increasing tax burden."
Wheeler went on, "For the past month, my fellow legislators and I have gone to Springfield hoping that we would be discussing bills for a bipartisan and responsible budget. Unfortunately that hasn't happened, instead we subjected to fake hearings on all manner of other issues. This continued despite Gov. Rauner, and we Republicans, offering comprise solutions. This was demonstrated again yesterday when Gov. Rauner signed the K-12 education funding bill that removed our school budgets from the ongoing stalemate. That being said, the time for a responsible budget is now, I implore the Speaker and the politicians he controls to join us back at the negotiating table so we can enact much need budgetary reforms and move our state forward. A failure to do so would leave many of our most vulnerable in an unnecessary state of uncertainty."

DC Sunday Jam History
Robin Gilmore, Nov 27, 2012: Look what showed up during a purge of old file cabinets (the old fashioned metal kind)... almost live from 7th St., circa 1982, it's Robin, Roger, another Robin and someone whose name escapes me. Check out Roger's Tom Selleck look!
Roger Neece, Nov 27, 2012:
The studio space was at 407 7th ST, NW, the old Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) building. I had a shared studio with Murray Spaulding (now in NYC doing her "mandala" work), and we split the 7th floor with Eric Hampton's ballet studio. We all mucked it out from 18" of pigeon guano, laid a floor (Alex?) and danced there for 3 years. I think that the other Robin is Robin Bowie? Cannot remember/ID the other woman in the pic. David Appel and I shared teaching duties, twice a week. We moved into this space after being at GWU for 2 years, then we were on to using space with Liz Lerman at her old Landsburgh department store loft.
Since then, the DC jam has been at several places along the way, including two substantial tenures at St. James' Church parish hall in Northeast DC, American University, Glen Echo Park, Joe's Movement Emporium in Mt. Ranier, MD, and George Washington University.
The jam returned to Church of St. James and St. Monica parrish hall as of October 29, 2006, and is continuing there for the forseeable future.
On the first sunday of almost every month since December of 2003 the Sunday jam has practiced Nancy Stark Smith's Underscore, which has helped the jam thrive.

Translated by Fulano from a news article in http://www.uniradioinforma.com/noticias/tijuana/articulo142239.html" rel="nofollow">Uniradioinforma.com
The problem along the Mexican border with the sexual exploitation of women is increasing now that the authorities do nothing to recover the young girls who are taken by human traffickers, said Víctor Clark Alfaro, director of the Binational Center for Human Rights.
It is a problem of historic networks that for years have brought women from different states in the south of the country. Clark Alfaro said that in spite of operations to catch members of the human trafficking bands, it has failed because they are networks, and he further opined that if the authorities really wanted to capture and destroy these bands, they should start looking for them in the areas where the young women who are rescued come from.
Clark Alfaro said that these women agree to come to the border and become prostitutes because they are tricked by the "pimps" who take advantage of their poverty and lack of self esteem.
The Maria Magdalena Association is comprised of sex workers, and the women who come to this institution comment that the problem in Mexico is now even greater, as there are international and transnational bands that take the young women to other countries to be sexually exploited.
"Now they don't just go after the young women from the rural areas, these days they take city women, and then they are no longer children," he said.
Clark Alfaro calculates that just in Tijuana there are 5,500 young women who are captive and manipulated by "pimps" and that each girl earns approximately 30,000 pesos ($2,300) per week.
Say what? 5,500 women earning $2,300 per week? That means $12,650,000 per week is being spent on sex in TJ. I kind of doubt that.

Citations for fractious
In Marshall's case, the experience of dealing with a clamorous band of younger siblings, earning their affection and respect while holding them to their tasks, proved remarkably useful in later years when dealing with fractious colleagues jealous of their prerogatives.
Marcus frequently took a rod to Ambrose's back--with the predictable result of making the boy even more fractious and slow to obey.
Origin of fractious
Fractious is from fraction, which formerly had the sense "discord, dissension, disharmony"; it is derived from Latin frangere, "to break."

During last night's Glee, Darren Criss' character Blaine shared a fairy tale kiss and got official with Kurt (aka Chris Colfer). Of course, we'll have to wait and see how their romance pans out -- hopefully it outlasts all the other straight-and-messy, love triangle match-ups on the show! -- but in the meantime, it feels good to know that it seems like Criss is going to be part of the Glee cast for now. Especially because he recently "came out" as an amazingly wise, outspoken guy!
Criss recently told Vanity Fair that although he plays a gay guy on TV, he's actually -- ladies, hold your shrieks -- STRAIGHT! Why did he feel like he had to clarify, though?
He says ...
It's more empowering to everybody if I'm articulate about identifying myself as a straight male playing a gay character. Ultimately, that's more powerful for both communities.
It seems like the 24-year-old is wise beyond his years. So often, actors seem to want to dance around the issue. Of course, it can't be easy to come out if you're gay or to admit that you're straight playing gay. And it makes sense that they'd worry their following could be disenchanted in either case. For instance, with Criss, Glee-sters may be disheartened to hear that he's actually not ga-ga for guys, like Blaine. But I have to say Criss has made the right decision by telling the truth.
After all, what good does it do the audience if they're under a false assumption about an actor they admire? For an actor, coming out as straight is just as empowering in some ways as coming out as gay. Criss elaborates:
... For the longest time when people asked me about Blaine, I wanted to say it doesn't matter. And it doesn't. But I don't want to devalue it, because it's a very earnest question, and I can see why people would want to know. And I realized that if I said, It doesn't matter, that immediately means that I'm gay. So I do define myself as a straight male, but it really doesn't come into play with me in this role. As an actor, your objective is always to play the scene. And in this case, he happens to be a gay teen.
It's actually kind of funny how we all seem to think we know better about celebs' sexuality. Like, every time I've mentioned to friends that John Travolta is gay, gay, gay, it always strikes me as so odd that people usually say, "NO! No way!" But, on the other hand, we can find ourselves assuming young, teenybopper heartthrobs (like, say, Zac Efron) are ultimately going to end up heading down Neil Patrick Harris Lane. Obviously, that's not necessarily true.
You could say it seems like America needs better gaydar ... but maybe the point is that 'gay or not' doesn't really change whether or not an actor can steal our hearts through the screen.
What do you think about Darren Criss "coming out" as straight? Do you see it as controversial? Surprised? Do you care or not really?

Wow, I didn't realise that my last post was a week and a half ago! Maybe I'm adapting into vacation mode around here too much… the office is so empty that sometimes you feel like you need to check that the people who are in the office are still breathing. And now I'm joining the vacation craze for real! My parents are arriving today, so I have the next week off work to spend in a stuga on the West Coast, relax, walk, drink coffee and do absolutely nothing work related whatsoever. Aaah…
The last week and a half has been great, successful in some aspects (bank account), not successful in others (place to live) but always interesting.
On the good things, I have a bank account now! For all newcomers to this country, don't bother with Swedbank and go to SEB instead. After one more "you need a Swedish ID" instance when I tried to pick up my letter with the bank pin code from the post office, I walked into one of their branches close to despair and told the sympathetic bank clerk my sob story about IDs, post offices and passports. Answer: "No problem, we'll set up your account here then!"… 5 minutes later I had a salary account, a savings account and a Visa card in the post. That bank clerk is officially my hero!
On the less good aspects, I have been trying to find a new apartment for weeks now and I have no idea how anyone actually ever finds one of these things. It's probably the quiet summer period so less people put property online, but I have applied to about a million sublets and the number of replies I received is three. The first one was a tiny house in someone's backyard in Lindome (the fact that it has an outside space was slightly marred by the fact that the outside space was behind a huge grey garage), the second one a ridiculously overpriced apartment, and the third one a flat in Kålltorp that I'm going to see today (fingers crossed – third time lucky?). The owner said that she received 200 responses to the ad. Unbelievable. I think the only long term option will be to buy, but in the meantime I need somewhere to live – under a bridge it might be getting a bit cold at night come end of August…
Other than the insane housing situation though and my pre-account banking frustrations I can't describe how much I love it here. I guess I am still in the honeymoon period so I'm not exactly rational, but I find new things I love about the place every day. Last weekend I went to the botanical gardens and walked around there and the neighbouring forest for the whole afternoon. The nature was so intact, I couldn't believe I was actually in the middle of a city.
I also went out for beers and billiards with my workmates for the first time last week, which ended up being a hilarious evening. My Swedish is coming along slowly. I can't always say what I want (and by far not always correctly) and I can't always understand everyone, but I've stopped being so uptight about it. If I stutter or have to switch to English for a few sentences (I try to avoid that though) then so be it… I'm still a fairly quiet person (because keeping up with banter and saying things quickly is still a bit of a challenge), but I've only been here for three weeks so it will pick up eventually. I've started to think in a weird mixture of Swedish, German and English now, which ultimately means that I keep looking for words in any of these languages!
Yesterday I did my first fredagsfika (Friday's communal work break with coffee and cake). I volunteered to do it before realising that I did not actually have a clue how to organise it. Cue me standing in the kitchen stressed out and wondering if people would just show up or whether I would actually have to go round and drag everyone to eat my lovingly purchased wienerbröds! After I stopped stressing though, and after people mercifully showed up despite me not sending out an invitation, it all went smoothly. So, one more step completed in journey as a trainee Swede!

Treasury says TARP to cost $50 billion
The Treasury Department estimates the final cost to the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which ended Sunday after two years, will be $50 billion. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 created TARP as a government-induced bailout of the financial sector. Independent observers and the Congressional Budget Office initially said TARP would cost more than $350 billion. Combined with investments in American International Group (AIG) the cost of TARP programs will be about $30 billion. "Most of the cost of TARP is expected to come from two sources: expected losses related to TARP investments in auto companies and initiatives to help responsible homeowners avoid foreclosure," according to the Treasury report. Beyond TARP, the Treasury expects "substantial losses" from the bailouts of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but a "substantial part" of these losses will be offset by the revenue from its purchase of $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities. The Treasury still has not recieved $55 billion in investments to troubled banks through the Capital Purchase Program, but it expects to finish selling its investment in Citigroup (C) by next year. AIG, too, has laid out a plan to pay back the Treasury for its investment. Write to Jon Prior. The author holds no relevant investments.

Panasonic has launched the Eluga A in India in hope to attract the attention of those seeking an affordable smartphone. The Panasonic Eluga A features a 5" IPS display of 854 x 480 pixel resolution (195 ppi).
Under the hood, there's a 1.2GHz quad-core Cortex A7 CPU and Adreno 302 GPU sitting on the Snapdragon 200 chipset. RAM is 1GB, while internal memory is just 4GB (expandable via the microSD card slot).
Around the back, there's an 8MP camera with LED flash and 1080p video recording and under the hood sits a 2,000mAh battery. The selfie duty is handled by a 1.3MP front-facing camera.
The phone comes with dual-SIM support and is 9.2mm thick. It runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, and as obligatory for India, FM Radio. The Panasonic Eluga A launches in black and white and carries a price tag of about $155 (INR 9,490).
It's going to have a hard time facing the affordable market champions considering its subpar specifications. Rivals such as the ASUS Zenfone 5 ($163 (INR 10,000)) and Motorola Moto G ($171 (INR 10,499)) are a bit pricier, but offer a lot more bang for the buck.

Long Beach Unified School District would have received $5.1 million more in state funding last year if all of its schools had met district-wide attendance goals, school officials say.
However, officials said the district sets a high bar for attendance and that Long Beach Unified already has a good track record for kids being in class.
To combat absenteeism, the district is continuing an incentive program with the hopes that it will boost the number of children in class by sharing a portion of the funding directly back with the schools.
Data from the district show that between the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years, school attendance districtwide dropped less than half a percentage point, officials said. Over the past five years, districtwide attendance hovered between 95.5 percent and 96 percent of students.
Last year, attendance was the lowest it's been in at least five years at about 95.5 percent. The district says that 81.8 percent of its schools saw a drop in attendance rates from the year before.
Elementary schools saw the sharpest drop between the last two school years, dipping from just under 96.5 percent attendance to below 96 percent of students. Of LBUSD's 69 elementary, K-12 and middle schools, four met the goal of 97 percent attendance last year, said Jim Novak, chief business and financial officer for LBUSD.
But Novak said overall elementary schools are performing well.
While the district would have received $5.1 million more in state funding if all had schools met their goals in 2012-2013, Novak said the district's aim is high. The district-wide goal is 97 percent attendance for elementary and middle school students and 96.5 percent for high schools.
"It would be extremely ambitious to achieve that," Novak said.
Each school also has an individual goal based on its historical attendance rates.
The place the district is seeing the highest rate of attendance is in sixth through eighth grades.
"Middle schools are doing extremely well over the past five years," Novak said.
On Aug. 30, schools meeting their goals received checks from the district as part of the incentive program. Among the recipients was Franklin Classical Middle School, which received $1,500 that will be used for things like after-school tutorials, according to Principal Pilar Perossio.
Perossio said she and the school's assistant principals make rounds to each classroom daily to make sure children are in uniform and present. If a student is missing, someone from the school calls or visits the student's home.
Students are rewarded for being in school with things like uniform-free days for the grade level that has the best record each month, Perossio said. To further improve upon Franklin's attendance, this year the school will give out certificates for perfect attendance each quarter.
Each school has an individual goal based on its record the past three years. The district looks at the best year of the past three, and the goal is to improve on that.
For Franklin, that means a 95.61 percent attendance goal for the 2013-2014 school year.
For each full day a student is absent from class, the district loses $30, Novak said. But if a student is removed from class for only part of the day for things like appointments, a child learns more and the district receives the full $30 amount, he said.
Novak said the district recognizes there are several reasons for students to stay out of school an entire day, like illness, but for things like appointments it benefits students most to minimize the amount of time a child is out of school.
"It makes a lot of common sense and it's logical," he said. "The more the students are going to be in the classroom the more they're going to learn."

Yes!! Awesome to see a new lesson from you Muris - and as usual your chops are provokingly inspiring!
Great lesson Muris! Very impressive phrasing!
Astonishing as always Your lessons never fail to impress me

Most inspiring! Killer dorian licks! But I must say that I expected some tones from the Axe-fx ;-)
great licks muris!
Nice lesson Muris, you really have some nice chops..
Cool lesson Muris, and cool voice Andrew! I do have a little tip about the voice if you don't mind. To put it a bit blunt, what's te use of reading a line that's written down already? I think the option of speech can be used much wider then it is now! And Muris, your English is also more then sufficient!
Still great, just as a tip
Great to see a new lesson from you, man
Cool, I think I'm going to steal some ideas here & there...
Awesome music ideas, Muris! Great to see you again!

Hello GMC, welcome to advanced part of the Dorian Phrasing serial.
It this lesson we'll stick to our good old A Dorian
while using more demanding licks and chops to create some
interesting phrasings using this scale only.
Progression is the same as in earlier part of this serial,
key of A Dorian, tempo 100 bpm.
I used Guitar Rig 3 for guitar tone,
let me know if you would like the patch tho.
Good luck!

1979 - Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women adopted (Source: Dag Hammarskjöld Library)
At first glance, it is perhaps understandable how international law could be misconstrued as gender-neutral. With seemingly objective doctrines and the fact that international legal rules apply primarily to states, it is difficult to see how this particular body of law could possibly be subject to feminist debate. But the very fact that international law appears to draw no gendered distinctions raises a red flag, as it suggests that international legal norms and institutions are free from bias. Contrary to its apparent universality, however, the development of international law has continually under-represented women and marginalized female perspectives.
The clearest example of how women are excluded from international law is their striking absence from the institutions shaping how international rules are made and applied. Despite recent progress, women remain under-represented in domestic legislatures around the world. In a system where states negotiate and ratify treaties (one of the two main sources of international law), this absence of female decision-makers is striking.
The inability to represent women's voices is, ironically, most notable in treaties such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, a convention to which 77 different countries entered reservations upon ratification of the treaty. While reservations are a normal feature of any treaty, several were made against this convention's "core provisions" addressing discrimination against women — raising the question of whether the greater involvement of women in making and ratifying this treaty would have led to a different result.
The traditionally male-oriented focus of international law is also apparent in the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Article 1 of the Convention defines "torture" in reference to various acts inflicted on a male subject ("any act by which severe pain or suffering…is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information…) (emphasis added). The preamble of the Convention explicitly references the "inherent dignity of the human person," but then goes on to use the masculine pronoun in its body. One wonders whether the treaty's drafters really considered how torture impacts men and women differently.
Women, and their perspectives, also continue to be considerably underrepresented from the institutions responsible for developing international law. The 34-member International Law Commission (ILC), responsible for the codification and progressive development of international law, counts only four women amongst its members. And yet this small number represents progress for the ILC, as it is the first time in the history of the institution that more than two women have served on the Commission at the same time. Similarly, the International Court of Justice continues to be dominated by men, with only three female judges on the Court's 15-member panel as of 2017.
The need to address the under-representation of women in international law is about more than simply reflecting the composition of the global population (in itself a worthy goal). It is about ensuring that the voices of women, and the ways in which they are distinctly impacted by international law, are heard. It is impossible to achieve this goal without first acknowledging that the development and application of international law – like any other field of law – has not been gender-neutral. And while there has been notable progress in recent years (particularly in the field of international human rights law), more needs to be done. At its core, law must be effective – and for international law to achieve this goal, it must take into account all perspectives, make and female, of those individuals it ultimately aims to serve.

About Us
The roots of Southpaw Spray Company, LLC actually began over 45 years ago. In 1971, Seth's Grandpa, Gerald Tausan, became the Sheridan County Weed Superintendent. In 1990, Gerald retired from Sheridan County and started Tausan Weed Control.
It was at this time, when Seth was in his early teens, that he assisted his grandfather with his spraying business. Seth got his first commercial certification through the Nebraska Department of Agriculture in 1996 and would return home in the summers from college to work for his grandfather. Seth decided to move home in 2001, when he bought into Tausan Weed Control and took over operations.
Since 2001, Tausan Weed Control has operated primarily as a noxious weed/invasive species spray business. Throughout the years, we have been approached many times regarding lawn and pest/rodent control. In the Spring of 2015, we became certified in these specific categories, and in the Fall of 2015, Seth married Ashlei Benben and together they started Southpaw Spray Company, LLC. (They are both left handed).
Southpaw Spray Co. LLC, is a full-time direct service based business that is able to perform residential, commercial and agricultural invasive species inspections, recommendations and treatment applications.

In light of the horrific explosions at the Taba Hilton yesterday, Hospitality Net is conducting a poll to gauge people's feelings about hotel security:
Protecting a Hotel Against A Terrorist Attack Is Mission Impossible
I agree 63%
I do not agree 38%
I don't know why I was surprised by the results, since I'm in the majority on this one. I do believe there is much that can be done to lessen the likelihood of an attack, to increase the safety of guests in the occurrence of an attack, and to get people evacuated to safety and needed health services more quickly. But eliminate the risk? Sadly, I don't think it's possible. Do you?

Syringomas are benign adnexal tumors from intraepidermal eccrine ducts, treated
by diverse surgical modalities with variable results.
OBJECTIVES: 1. To report our experience in surgical treatment of multiple periorbital syringomas excised by Castroviejo scissors followed by healing by secondary intention. 2. To present a literature review with emphasis on therapeutic aspects.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: During 68 months we treated 38 cases of periorbital syringoma. All of them were submitted to surgical excision using Castroviejo scissors, followed by healing by secondary intention. Evaluation was done 7, 30 and 90 days after surgery. The mean follow-up period was 33 months, ranging from 3 to 62 months.
RESULTS: The results were excellent in 24 patients (63.1%), good in 12 patients (31.6%) and regular in two patients (5.3%). The only immediate complication observed was edema; late complications were hypochromia (12 patients), depressed scar (one patient) and hypertrophic scar (one patient). Recurrences were not observed during the follow-up period.
CONCLUSIONS: We concluded from our results that excision of periorbital syringomas by Castroviejo scissors followed by healing by secondary intention is a low cost, straightforward outpatient procedure. Results are good, with no recurrences, although transient hypochromia may occur.
Keywords: Adenoma, sweat gland; Eccrine glands; Eyelids; Skin neoplasms; Syringoma; Treatment outcome
Syringoma is a benign adnexal tumor of the intra-epidermal eccrine sweat duct. It is characterized by skin-colored papules&generally multiple although sometimes isolated&ranging from one to 5mm that are asymptomatic and occur most frequently in adult women.1,2 It occurs predominantly in white individuals, but it has been described in black female patients.3 The most commonly affected area is the face, particularly the eyelid and periorbital regions.1,2 Atypical presentations on the face were reported in the form of unilateral multiple lesions forming plaques.4 Other locations reported are: thorax, neck, gluteal regions, pubis and vulva. On the vulva, lesions may be multiple or solitary, and cause vulvar pruritus.1,5 There are studies proving the presence of nuclear receptors for progesterone in the eccrine glands of syringomas of the vulva, as well as in normal glands of the deep dermis of this region.6
Syringoma occurs sporadically but there are familial forms with autosomal dominant heredity affecting both sexes equally and which seem to represent a form of mosaicism.7,8
Histologically,9 syringoma is a proliferation of multiple small ducts whose walls are usually lined by two rows of flattened epithelial cells in a fibrous stroma, located in the papillary and upper reticular dermis. The lumina of the ducts contain amorphous debris. Some ducts have small comma-like tails, which gives them a tadpole-like appearance. There are also solid strings of basophilic epithelial cells that are independent of the canals. There may be cystic canalicular lumina full of keratin, lined by milium-like cells containing granules of keratohyalin. These structures can burst and produce a foreign body-type reaction. Histochemistry and electron microscopy show that syringoma is an adenoma of intra-epidermal eccrine canals. Calcium may be deposited in the ductal lumina, which is also seen in mitochondria under electron microscopy, suggesting the role of the syringeal structure in the pathogenesis of cutaneous calcinosis. An immunohistochemical study10 based on the expression of cytokeratins shows that syringoma differentiates from the transition region between the acrosyringeal region and the dermal duct of the eccrine sweat gland. Solitary tumors must be histologically differentiated from microcystic adnexal carcinoma,11 in order to avoid therapeutic mismanagement.
The eruptive form generally begins suddenly in adolescence with a large number of lesions that become widespread, appear in episodes and are a therapeutic challenge.12,13
Localized or eruptive syringoma were reported in association with Down syndrome.2
There is a proposal for classifying the clinical variants of syringoma14 into four forms: localized, familial, generalized (including the eruptive form), and associated with Down syndrome. Other variants have been reported, which suggests a need to broaden this classification.2
Diagnosis of syringoma is clinical and histological. No other laboratory investigations are necessary. Clinically, a differential diagnosis must in some cases be made against the lesions of xanthelasma and milia. However it is common for syringoma, xanthelasma and milium lesions to be associated in the periorbital regions.14
The reason to treat syringoma is esthetic. In rare cases there is a need to treat the pruritus that can be present in the eruptive forms15 and vulvar forms. The indicated therapeutic modalities aim to achieve careful and effective destruction or removal of the lesions and to avoid relapse and/or unnecessary unsightly scars. The literature thus includes a range of techniques including electrocautery or electrodissection,1619 surgical excision,20-22 the use of different types of laser23-28 or techniques combining the use of trichloroacetic acid and CO2 laser.29,30
Over 68 months, 38 patients with histopathologically confirmed multiple periorbital syringomas were treated: 36 female and two male patients, with ages ranging from 19 to 72, mean age of 39.6 years. The lesions predominated in all patients in the lower periorbital region 27 had lesions only in the lower eyelid, nine presented lesions in the upper periorbital region also, and in two patients the lesions were scattered around their faces, principally in the periorbital region and the forehead (Table 1).
The method employed was careful surgical excision followed by healing by second intention. This means that it is possible, with training and using Castroviejo ophthalmological scissors, to remove syringoma lesions individually, respecting their limits. In the technique suggested by the present authors, after a very small initial incision (a 'pinch') and raising of the skin with a fine-toothed forceps, the tumor is easily visualized since the tissue is different from normal. Carefully, in other words, without haste and after training of the hands, one can detach and remove the whole lesion, which avoids relapse, and without going in too deep, which might lead to depressed scar. It is not shaving, but actual excision, except performed extremely carefully.
It is possible to remove the syringoma without causing a sequela because it begins in the intraepidermal region in the eccrine sweat gland. However one must be attentive because there may be progression to the intradermal portion, which is when a slightly deeper excision is necessary; nonetheless only the tumor itself is removed, which avoids relapse and produces satisfactory esthetic results.
Thus, after cleaning the area with 0.9% saline solution, we applied infiltrative local anesthesia with 2% xylocaine and proceeded to excise the tumor using a Castroviejo ophthalmological scissors (Figure 1), with hemostasis by local compression and wound dressing with a micropore strip, removed seven days post-surgery by the physician. Depending on the number of lesions, the treatment was carried out in one or more stages, the average being two stages. All patients underwent prior testing consisting of the removal and healing of a lesion, and were observed after 30 days.
Patients were assessed seven days after surgery, when the micropore bandage was removed, and after 30 and 90 days.
Assessment of results included the patient's opinion, examination by the physician and photographic control before and after the treatment (seven, 30 and 90 days). Results were deemed: a. excellent the resulting scar was virtually imperceptible; b. good there was mild hypochromia, without changes in relief; and c. average depressed scar or hypertrophic scar and/or accentuated hypochromia.
Follow-up to detect relapses ranged from three to 62 months, with an average of 33 months, after final assessment of the esthetic result.
Nn the population that was treated, white adult female patients predominated (94.7%). No familial cases were observed.
Diagnosis of syringoma was previously confirmed by histopathological examination of the lesion removed a priori, also as a test for the chosen method of treatment. Additionally, a sample of other lesions excised a posteriori underwent histologically confirmed diagnosis.
In five patients (13.1%) there were associated lesions in the same location as the syringomas, with the following histopathological diagnoses: trichoepithelioma (one case), milia (two cases) and xanthelasma (two cases).
As to the results of the treatment employed, the final overall assessment including the impressions of both physician and patient and the observation of the photographs by the investigator coincided. The results of treatment in the 38 patients (Table 2) were: excellent in 24 (63.1%) (Figures 2 and 3, A and B); good in 12 (31.6%) (Figure 4) and average in two (5.3%) (Figure 5). The only immediate complication observed was edema; late complications were: hypochromia (12 cases), depressed scar (one case) and hypertrophic scar (one case). Residual hypochromia did not fully regress but did significantly improve over an average period of 31 months, without treatment; depressed scar was treated surgically by excision and suture with 6.0 thread, and hypertrophic scar was treated by intralesional filtration with corticosteroids, both resulting in improved esthetic appearance. All patients declared themselves very satisfied at the end of the observation period and there were no relapses.
Syringoma can be a major esthetic problem since the lesions generally occur on the faces of adult female patients and are multiple.1
In the present study there was a predominance of multiple periorbital syringomas in adult white women (36 cases or 94.7%), which is in line with the literature.2 Solitary lesions or cases of eruptive syringoma were excluded from this observation. Familial cases are described,7,8 but did not occur in our sample.
All five patients (13.1%) with other associated lesions were treated by the same technique. The occurrence of milia and xanthelasma in association with syringoma lesions is reported relatively frequently.
Prior excision of one lesion was carried out for assessment after 30 days of the esthetic results of the method employed. A diagnosis of syringoma was confirmed by histopathological examination of this lesion. A sample of the other lesions excised afterwards were also diagnosed by the characteristic histological findings.9
There are actually few studies analyzing in detail the aspects mentioned above, in other words, that report the epidemiological and clinical features of the disease, the therapeutic outcome and the follow-up in a larger number of cases. It is undeniably difficult to follow up the therapeutic outcome when the lesions are benign and the chosen treatment modality reduces the possibility of relapses.
Underscoring the treatment of multiple periorbital syringomas, particularly from the surgical standpoint,16-30 the results of the observation are similar to those reported in the literature, whatever the chosen technique. The destruction of the lesions by electrosurgery may produce scars and/or relapses with greater frequency, given the tumor's histological features, above all the location of its differentiation.9,10 Some authors advocate electrosurgery, whether electrocautery or intralesional electrodissection, with a fine-tipped electrode or an epilation needle introduced to the level of the reticular dermis, without curettage.16-19 They deem it a safe, effective and affordable treatment, but one which requires experience and attention, above all in the treatment of lesions on the eyelids, so as to avoid sequelae. They stress the risk of this simple method being abandoned in favor of laser, which is more expensive since there are no clinical studies comparing these two techniques. The authors' experience with different modalities of electrosurgery in very few patients (unpublished data) has not been satisfactory, since despite taking all necessary care, permanent depressed hypochromic scars occurred as well as relapses in some cases.
Conventional surgical removal with suture and blepharoplasty are effective methods that give excellent results, particularly when the lesions are clustered and in a linear arrangement, provided a skilled professional performs them.20-22
A recent study21 of surgical excision followed by healing by second intention in xanthelasma lesions in 28 patients who were followed over 18 months presented similar conclusions to the present study in regard to effectiveness and satisfactory esthetic results.
Healing by secondary intention20 provides esthetic outcomes similar to or better than those given by approximation of the surgical boundaries by suture. It is a simple, straightforward, affordable method and therefore useful in carrying out procedures in an outpatient setting, specially for a large number of lesions. The results of this observation agree with those of other authors21,22 in regard to the effectiveness of the method, in the treatment of xanthelasma. In the present experiment, among the 38 patients who had lesions excised and allowed to heal by secondary intention, results were deemed excellent in 24 (63.1%), good in 12 (31.6%) and average in only two cases (5.3%).
One should point out the possibility of transitory hypochromia occurring as a sequela, which did in fact occur in 12 (31.6%) patients and regressed spontaneously after an average of three years' follow-up.
Recent literature on the treatment of multiple syringoma most often addresses the use of different types of laser to destroy the lesions.23-30 The first reports referred to continuous CO2 laser,23 with disastrous results owing to the increased risk of scarring. The most frequently mentioned type is pulsed CO2 laser, which reduces the risk of scarring and gives excellent esthetic results, and may even be performed without anesthesia or with only topical anesthesia.25-27,29,30 The use of a 1-mm-handpiece provides additional advantage, further reducing the risk of scarring.27 The literature also refers to the use of erbium laser24 and alexandrite laser which requires prior tattooing28 Treatments combining application of 50% trichloroacetic acid before or after the use of pulsed CO2 laser.29,30 are reported as advantageous. The combined technique enables the number of passes of the laser to be reduced, thereby minimizing the risk of thermal damage both at the lesion site and to the surrounding skin, as well as removing deeper syringoma cells, thus avoiding scarring and relapse.
Using laser is advantageous but the cost is high, the method is virtually unavailable in public institutions, and requires well-trained professionals working in suitable settings and following correct protection measures, since the lesions predominate in the periocular region, which greatly restricts the use of the laser.
This report of the present experiment, involving simple and careful surgical excision using a Castroviejo ophthalmological scissors followed by healing by secondary intention, is thus considered an important contribution to the solution of the problem of multiple periorbital syringomas, particularly in public hospitals..
The treatment of periorbital syringomas by careful surgical exeresis with the Castroviejo ophthalmological scissors is an outpatient department procedure that may require one or more stages depending on the number of lesions. Healing by secondary intention facilitates and expedites the treatment of multiple lesions. This straightforward, safe, effective and accessible method gives satisfactory outcomes ranging from good to excellent, without relapse, despite the possibility of the occurrence of transitory hypochromia. We highlight the need for clinical and histopathological diagnosis, in addition to prior assessment of the esthetic outcome by test, in other words, by the removal and healing of at least one lesion in all patients, particularly in dark-skinned people or those with periorbital hyperchromia.
