Cast 1996 by Giancarlo Gentilini, Florence;[1] gift 1998 to NGA.
[1] The mask was cast from a terracotta bust of Lorenzo de' Medici, currently (1998) in a private collection in Florence. An entry about the bust is in the following exhibition catalogue, published by Silvana Editoriale, Milan, in 1992: L'Architettura di Lorenzo il Magnifico, exhibition held 1992 at Spedale degli Innocenti, Florence, p. 125.

If It's Broke Fix It
More years ago than I care to remember…ah dear what a ridiculous affectation for a man of a mere my age to adopt. It was of course the early eighties, well the first half off them at least. I developed an imaginary school subject entitled 'Car Studies'. I used this as a vehicle….heh heh …did you see what I did there?....I used this as a method of explaining to parents of prospective students why computer studies might not be a particularly suitable subject for the apple of their eye.
The mere title of the subject was enough to make a certain type of adolescent salivate at the prospect. Unfortunately, at the time, it involved a lot of pseudo machine code with the acronym 'CECIL' and far more history of Pascal, Liebnitz and Babbage than a committed games player was likely to be interested in.
For a few years the conversation went thus.
"Well you see Mr Hallett we bought him a computer because we knew it would help and he's never off it. He knows everything!"
After exploring the fact that the real interest may be playing games on the 'Speccy' …this was in the years before the interwebby thing, I used 'Car Studies' as an example.
"Imagine Mrs Jones that you wanted your son (Other student genders were available but I seldom had the same problem with female students) …that your son wanted to do 'Car Studies'. He might confuse the subject by thinking that he was going to be learning to drive fast cars in a safe manner and in fact find out that he was doing some mechanical work with a little bit of internal combustion theory thrown in for good measure..
Many of us see the value of learning to be a driver but few of us want to be mechanics. While Computer Studies has computer in the title I really think he may be mistaking ….."etc etc.
I am sure you get the drift. And I am equally sure it did little good even after you had got over how patronising I was.
Today someone did it back to me.
A therapist was trying to explain to me that the concept that failure was not bad or good in itself but that we invested the word with meaning.
"You wouldn't for example pronounce that a car was 'bad' because it had failed its M.O.T…."
Leaving aside for a moment the degree to which people do anthropomorphise the inanimate I started down a new track…
Coming soon to all good academic bookshops. The Hallett Guide to Dialectical Behaviour Therapies and the Art of Car Maintenance.
….I am going to have to come up with a snappier title.
The picture. I was very pleased with the combination of a mist flowing down the river to the sea and the sunrise this morning. If you werent up early enough here it is.

ORILLIA, ON – Former Outlaw 4 cylinder Modified champion AJ Emms will look to take his first step towards an inaugural OSCAAR Modified Tour title this weekend, as the cross-province series prepares to kickstart its 2018 season during Sunset Speedway's massive two-day Spring Velocity event.
"There's no bigger or better way to start our season than winning at Sunset," says Emms. "Our team is based out of Orillia – so Sunset has always been like a home track for us. We're going to have a ton of support in the stands this weekend. From sponsors to neighbours to family – we're excited to perform in front of them and show off just how strong we can be."
Emms has been one of the OSCAAR tour's most intriguing prospects in recent seasons, racking up two tour victories and an incredible 20 top-5 finishes over the course of 33 career appearances with the series.
"We've never been hungrier," says the second-generation racer of his family-run team. "An early win is crucial for us. The sooner we can get our footing with this program, the sooner we can start turning up the intensity to try and chase down that championship this season."
When asked what a Spring Velocity triumph would mean to his tight-knit team, Emms explains that a win at Sunset is every bit as much about legacy as it is about the immediate impact it would play on the tour's championship points standings.
"This event has come a long way in a short amount of time," notes Emms. "It really is one of the 'majors' on our schedule now. Everyone wants to win it these days. It's one of those wins that really jumps off your resume. So, because of that, we know that we're really going to have our work cut out from us when the trailer door comes down."
"We've done our homework all off-season – so we'll be ready for whatever's thrown at us," adds the former Autumn Colours Classic winner. "I'm anticipating one of the best fields we've come up against in a long time. The [OSCAAR Modified] Tour is in a really good place right now – and we want to start this season off on top of it."
AJ Emms 2018 OSCAAR Modified Tour campaign is made possible thanks to the support of BAE Environmental, Peter Built Race cars, FMR Scrap Buyers, Klotz Canada and Artech Promotional Wear.

Adam Petway is in his fifth year with the Arkansas men's basketball program in 2017-18, and his fourth as the head strength and conditioning coach after being promoted from an assistant in the summer of 2014.
Petway oversees all aspects of the Arkansas men's basketball strength and conditioning program, including its unique performance training for head coach Mike Anderson's up-tempo style and the team's nutritional guidelines.
The Arkansas coaching staff continued to bring Razorback basketball back to national relevance in 2016-17, leading the Razorbacks to a 26-10 record, a spot in the SEC Tournament championship game and on the brink of knocking off the eventual National Champion North Carolina Tar Heels with the Sweet 16 on the line.
The Razorbacks posted the seventh most wins in program history last season, as the staff led Arkansas to 12 SEC wins for the fifth time in school history and captured six conference road victories, tying the 1994 championship team and the 2015 NCAA Tournament squad for the most in the SEC era. The Razorbacks ended the season 8-3 in their last 11 SEC road contests, the best stretch since the end of the 1993-94 and beginning of the 1994-95 seasons. Arkansas used its second best free throw percentage in school history (.761) to post a 4-0 record in games decided by one possession and a perfect 24-0 mark when leading with two minutes left in the contest.
In his time with the Razorbacks, Petway has worked diligently to ensure that his strength and conditioning style reflects Anderson's expectations. Aligning with the #Fastest40 mantra, Petway's workouts are explosive and fast. Petway's training platform is functionally bent and is specific to demands of the game and to the athlete's needs. He works closely with each player to develop individualized strength and conditioning programs.
Prior to joining Anderson and his staff at Arkansas, Petway spent two years as a basketball performance intern at Maryland. While in College Park, Maryland, Petway worked alongside Kyle Tarp and helped run all workouts in the then-new performance center and monitored each athlete's nutrition and post-workout supplementation.
Petway was also a key contributor in the player development aspect of Maryland's strength and conditioning program, and was mentored by David Adkins, who is now the player development assistant for the Washington Wizards.
The Atlanta, Georgia, native earned his degree from the United States Sports Academy in Sports Science in 2013.

Huitong news network September 20th — in the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Bank of England recently after the majority of market participants halt the troops and wait, are anxiously waiting for this week, the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan's monetary policy decisions.

And last month, the Bank of England lowered its fund rate from 0.50% to $0.25%, and expanded the stimulus package, designed to provide a cushion for the British economy after the referendum. For the Fed's monetary policy meeting this week, although most market participants expect the Fed will also halt the troops and wait but also many opponents. Barclays economists wrote in the report, in view of the United States to improve the basic data and reduce the risk of overseas, it is expected to maintain the Fed's interest rate hike in September.

Back in February, I offered a "special" for a "Couples" session, no matter what stage your relationship was in! Since Matt & Jessica had always regretted not doing an engagement session, they booked a session with me to celebrate their 6 year anniversary. :) How sweet!
Part 1 of this session consists of some casual, fun, images we shot at O'Melvany Park. However, Part 2 of this session has a very specific theme. :)
While is process of talking about the photo shoot, Jessica brought up to me that they love the movie "Princess Bride", and asked if we could shoot some of the images with that inspiration. How can I resist a question like that?! So we did some brainstorming, and came up with what you see here. Enjoy! :)

Building a Strong Personal Training Business
Personal Training
Building a Strong Personal Training Business
Personal training has grown rapidly in the last few years in an effort by exercisers to obtain better and faster fitness results. Clubs have successfully integrated personal trainers into their programs, but the challenge is to create the opportunity to connect a member with a trainer from day one.
The following is a summarization of an education session from the 2015 IHRSA Convention, produced with full permission from IHRSA. The full-length video is available for purchase at ihrsastore.com.
About the Speaker
Michele Melkerson-Granryd, M. Ed is currently the General Manager for BodyBusiness Health Club & Spa at Davenport Village in Austin, Texas. She occupies the role of Executive Director of the Texas Health Racquet & Sportsclub Association, and is also an adjunct instructor at the Austin Community College. She began her career as a Group Fitness Instructor, and eventually expanded her career to encompass areas of sales and management. She holds a Master's degree in Human Performance.
"Personal Training Is an Emotional Transaction"
The emotional aspect of training incorporates the client's goals and desired results, and it's important to touch upon these goals in each client session. Providing consistent attention and guidance to clients creates a relationship and trust that a client's interests are a priority. Client education demonstrates the value of your trainers. Assess your club in terms of its values and reinforce these through your personal training program.
- Mission: Revisit your mission and review your facility's accomplishment goals. What is it that you want to accomplish?
- Values: Assess your values. Are you team-oriented or do you value a more independent work environment?
- Products: Define the products your facility provides. In addition to personal training, your club can provide wellness programs, a better quality of life for your clients, and valuable relationships.
- Client Goals: Consider the goals your clients set and re-evaluate your products – they should relate to your clients' goals.
Implement a System While Creating Opportunities
When creating a personal training program, align your staff with your facility's mission, products, and goals. Train your staff to create sustainable and successful personal training programs. All staff members should be involved in your facility's personal training programs, or at least well-informed of the details.
When hiring sales staff, look not only for sales skills, but also emotional intelligence. Have at least one person dedicated to selling your training programs and matching trainers with clients. A team of trainers with a variety of personalities can demonstrate their value consistently and meet the overall needs of your niche. Provide compensation to your staff that incentivizes production.
Train the Trainers on Equipment
Trainers should have relevant equipment-based training. Invest in equipment that can be used in personal training sessions and create a dedicated space for such sessions. Equipment should be trainer-centric so that trainers are able to easily work with clients and demonstrate their value. Offer multiple types of training opportunities such as individual training, duos or trios, small groups, larger groups, and training sessions that vary in length.
Marketing to Your Target Audience
Market to your target audience by giving clients or prospects information about your club and the services it offers, specifically your individual and group personal training programs.
Create program-specific marketing strategies. Guerrilla marketing, client testimonials, and referrals are effective ways to bolster your marketing efforts. Build personal training into your membership.
Trainer-related videos and material on your website enhance your marketing efforts while providing value for your clients. Staff personal training programs instill a level of trust in your clients and also support sales.
Incorporate Personal Training Opportunities at Point of Sale
Create opportunities by integrating your personal training offerings in your point of sale. Free trials or guest passes for week-long personal training sessions provide ongoing exposure for your programming. Create and implement a successful personal training program with a knowledgeable staff, professional equipment, and targeted marketing strategies. Most importantly, provide value for your clients.

Hi mate! We worked on this lesson at my Vchat sessions and all I can say that it is more difficult than it seems, as it usually happens with Emir's lessons. You are getting close with the lesson, but most of the arpeggios are a bit noisy and some little sections like the first one and the last of the lesson has little timing issues. I think that you are not comfortable yet with the timing so my suggestion is to continue practicing this lesson some minutes diary while you start working on other one.
Keep on the hard work!
PS: It would be great if you can show clearly both hands in camera angle in future takes.

Hey there mate
I do believe that this is your first REC posting, right? If yes, then congratulations on entering the ZONE
Now, I think that you should slow this piece down and focus on synchronizing the hands, because this is where the big issue lies. Most of the piece is a bit out of synch and that is killing it. I am sure you can sort it out, but first of all, slow it down and make sure that you can hear every note as clear as the summer sky
Keep rocking,

Hi man! Thanx for adding the rec take
This lesson is indeed not as simple as it might look when watching Emir's playing. First of all...IMHO there is too much gain - sound is getting blurry and we hear a lot of boomy low end clipping. Playing on such a huge distortion will make You disappointed when trying to play the same on a acoustic guitar fo example....or once You go to play live gigs with a band. To much gain affects the way we practice and make us not able to squeeze good tone from many different types of amps / distortion.
There is still much headroom to work this out but there are two tweaks necessary at the moment:
1. Clear image of Your both hands
2. Clear tone to catch all the details
Anyway...it's not an easy lesson and don't feel upset even if You spent another 3-4 weeks and still not be able to play it perfectly. Some lessons require much longer time and experince. Sometims it's worth to practice for a long time and abandon if it's not working well. Then after another time measure You can always come back to the lesson and challenge Your skills again
That's how it usually works with most of us
Huge challange, improvements needed but a huge + for You for trying to handle this one Kepp up Your hard work and You'll master the lesson

Not every legal situation calls for a lawyer's help. You don't always need a lawyer like in instances where you have to handle a ticket or if you are hashing out an issue in small claims court, but there are some times when knowing a solid lawyer can be a lifesaver.
Knowing A Good Lawyer
You don't think twice about finding the best doctor, hair stylist, dentist or grocery store. Don't think twice about adding a good lawyer to your arsenal of skilled service people.
(Don't forget, you can find Cobbin Legal on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Go ahead. Click a link and follow us for real-time advice and information.)
Here are some reasons you should have a good lawyer on speed dial:
- They are not overly expensive. One of the biggest reasons people avoid talking with an attorney in a preventative capacity is the thought that lawyers cost an arm and a leg. But they don't. Lawyers do charge different rates and some can be at the expensive end or the scale, but you can find a solid attorney that is reasonable. As well, most lawyers provide free consultations. So there's no risk in just having a conversation with a lawyer about possible situations.
- Attorneys understand how to properly file court documents and handle other legal procedures. Failing to hire a lawyer when starting a business, reviewing a contract, going through a divorce, or trying to trademark a new technology or product can result in unknown hazards or even cost you more time and money.
- In a criminal case, your attorney will find out if all evidence has been handled properly. Lawyers know how to challenge or suppress evidence. You may not even know that a key piece of evidence against you was wrongly obtained. You may not know a witness' testimony contradicts an earlier statement, but your lawyer will go the extra mile to ensure an airtight defense.

Directed by: Robert Radler
Screenplay: Dan Gurskis
Starring: Treat Williams, Angie Everhart, Bill Nunn, Tim Abell & Patrick Kilpatrick
The Substitute series (where a former special ops badass goes undercover into troubled schools to fight corruption, and was originally kicked off by Tom Berenger) amazingly made it to 4 entries. Good old reliable Treat Williams returns for a third go around and this time goes undercover at a military school to fight white supremacists. The domineering and ruthlessly racist Brack (Kilpatrick) runs the school with an iron fist seemingly converting everyone and anyone to his cruel and violent beliefs. With his squad of seasoned cadets, The Werewolves, Brack proves an imposing force for Williams' solider turned undercover teacher.
This series has always been entertaining with the various gangs either Berenger or Williams have come up against, while posing as teachers, providing ample opportunity for some hard-hitting action. This entry is no different (and the military school setting is a nice change from your typical run down/inner city school environment) but perhaps finds itself hitting badass soldier-poses-as-teacher-to-kick-some-ass fatigue. The action is also a little thinner on the ground this time around with Williams and Kilpatrick not even getting a fight scene: hey, no fair! However, the lovely Angie Everhart (Jade) provides a nice distraction, especially for Williams (with the level of sex and nudity certainly ramped up for this instalment!) and B-movie action mainstay Tim Abell (Special Forces) also provides solid support as Williams' army buddy roped in to help out.
There could have been a few more action scenes to pad out the runtime but what action there is fairly inventive and rough-and-ready as per the previous entries. Williams gets to show off some hand-to-hand skills (though is obviously doubled on occasions) in a couple of high impact fights and there is a particularly over-the-top sequence where he is attacked by rocket launcher wielding cadets and thwarts them by using (what else!) a massive JCB digger to squash them. B-movie action craziness!
No as entertaining as previous entries and the original The Substitute is still the best but The Substitute 4 is an entertaining enough low rent action sequel to wile-away 80 or so minutes late one evening.

Man am I tired of clicking!
I guess the violent abuse of my mouse in real life is mirrored in the game as the mouse wizard is assaulted by skeletons. I hope that was intentional.
As for a review, I lost the game 5 times before figuring out how to play. When I clicked on a skill I wanted to level up, I saw the number go down so I kept clicking and saw skeletons dying so I though that was how you played. Click to level up a skill and the combat is automated.
After dying, I played again watching the lower mouse make progress and again the top mouse failed to protect me.
I finally figured out to click on the skeletons because they were the only option left. I did signle click on them first thing but the combination of their loss of health only being shown as a slight color change, lack of any other feedback (a sound effect would be great here), and the fact that some of them lost health without being clicked on made me think it wasn't doing anything.
Otherwise, a quite new way to approach a
tower defense game.

US Senate Confirms First-Ever Native American Woman As Federal Judge
WASHINGTON — The Senate quietly made history on Wednesday night when it confirmed Diane Humetewa as a federal judge — the first Native American woman to ever hold such a post.
Humetewa was confirmed 96-0 to serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. She is a former U.S. attorney in Arizona and a member of the Hopi tribe. She is now the first active member of a Native American tribe to serve on the federal bench and only the third Native American in history to do so. Read More…

CENTER TWP. � The Community College of Beaver County will raise tuition 3.5 percent, implement new fees and slash 100 course sections for the next school year to cover rising expenses and a $500,000 increase in employee benefit costs.
�It was a challenge,� Stephen Danik, CCBC�s vice president of finance and operations, said of the $22.8 million budget. �You never want to increase tuition if you don�t have to.�
Under the budget, tuition will increase from $86.50 per credit to $89.50 per credit. Last year, tuition went up $1.50 per credit.
CCBC President Joe Forrester insisted Wednesday that the college in Center Township remains a good bargain for local students who can take 30 credits over two semesters for about $3,500.
�We�re significantly lower in cost than the other public and private institutions around us,� he said.
Danik told the board of trustees Monday that the combined increases in 2008 and this year are less than the 6.4 percent combined rate of inflation for colleges over the last two years. Even with this year�s increase, �We�re still lagging behind the rate of inflation for higher education,� Danik said Wednesday.
Trustees voted 7-1 Monday to approve the budget, with Cindy Gleason voting against it. �I�d like to have more information, look at (the budget) and see if we can cut more,� she said.
Forrester said state funding is the �uncontrolled variable� in his school�s budget. Community colleges got a 3 percent increase in funding for this year and asked for a 4.5 percent increase next year, but Gov. Ed Rendell recommended 2 percent, Forrester said.
A Senate version of the state budget eliminates any increase, but CCBC is still anticipating some increase. The school will receive $6.37 million from the state this school year and is anticipating $6.58 million for 2009-10.
�One of the reasons we�re increasing tuition is that we�re not seeing more (money) coming from the state,� Forrester said.
As CCBC�s local sponsor, Beaver County contributed $3.35 million to the school this year, and that will increase to $3.47 million next year.
The school will also increase the student technology fee by $2 per credit and begin charging fees in computer information systems and visual communications courses, either $50 or $100, depending on the course.
Also, a new $800 fee will be attached to two classes � Approach Control I and II � in the air traffic control program. Danik said the $97,000 raised from that fee will pay for a new simulator and annual maintenance.
Danik said the elimination of 100 course sections, about 7 percent of the nearly 1,500 offered, will save about $240,000 because part-time and adjunct faculty will work less.
Health-care and retirement benefit costs are expected to increase about $512,000 � about 10 percent.
Health-care insurance accounts for nearly $317,000 of the total increase. CCBC administration and faculty will pay 6 percent of their premium while other employees will pay 3 percent.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday struggled with what one of the justices called its most important criminal procedure case in decades, whether to let police take DNA without a warrant from those arrested in hopes of using it to solve old cases.
Justices seemed conflicted over whether police have a right to take genetic information from people who have only been arrested without getting a judge's approval first, or if the government's interest in solving cold cases trumped the immediate privacy rights of those under suspicion of other crimes.
"I think this is perhaps the most important criminal procedure case that this court has heard in decades," said Justice Samuel Alito, a former prosecutor.
"This is what is at stake: Lots of murders, lots of rapes that can be solved using this new technology that involves a very minimal intrusion on personal privacy," Alito said later. "Why isn't this the fingerprinting of the 21st century?
But Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Elena Kagan questioned how far the government can go if it decides that the police have an interest in people's DNA to help solve cases, with Roberts noting that it wouldn't take much for police to add DNA swabs to traffic stops.
"Police officers who give Breathalyzer tests, they can also take a Q-tip or whatever and get a DNA sample, right?" Roberts said.
"It could be any arrestee, no matter how minor the offense," Kagan said.
Getting DNA swabs from criminals is common. All 50 states and the federal government take cheek swabs from convicted criminals to check against federal and state databanks, with the court's blessing. But now 28 states and the federal government now also take samples from people who have been merely charged with various crimes.
According to court documents, the FBI's Combined DNA Index System or CODIS contains more than 10 million criminal profiles and 1.1 million profiles of those arrested.
In the case before the court, a 53-year-old woman was raped and robbed but no one was arrested. Almost six years later, Alonzo King was arrested and charged with felony second-degree assault. Taking advantage of a Maryland law that allowed warrantless DNA tests following some felony arrests, police took a cheek swab of King's DNA, which matched a sample from the 2003 Salisbury rape. King was convicted of rape and sentenced to life in prison.
King eventually pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of misdemeanor assault from his arrest, a crime for which Maryland cannot take warrantless DNA samples. The state courts said it violated King's rights for the state to take his DNA based on an arrest alone.
The state Court of Appeals said King had "a sufficiently weighty and reasonable expectation of privacy against warrantless, suspicionless searches."
The Supreme Court is reviewing that decision and will make a decision later this year.
The decision may not fall along the court's ideological lines — for example, conservative Justice Antonin Scalia seemed at times to concern himself about the program's reach, and the usually liberal-voting Justice Stephen Breyer seemed to think that DNA cheek swabs were no more intrusive than fingerprinting.
King's lawyer, Kannon K. Shanmugam, told the justices there's "legitimate expectation of privacy" in the contents of an individual's DNA.
But prosecutors argued that suspects have less expectations of privacy than people not in police custody. In addition to solving cold cases, prosecutors argued that DNA testing is needed to help identify the person in custody, just like fingerprinting.
With arrested individuals, the government has a compelling interest in "knowing who that person is, which includes knowing what the person has done. And DNA does that in a far more powerful way than fingerprints have done," Justice Department lawyer Michael R. Dreeben said.
If that comparison can be made, "I think that you would have a quite good case," Kagan said.
But Maryland Chief Deputy Attorney General Katherine Winfree said it now takes 11-17 days to get results from a DNA swab, making it useless for instant identification. She argued that technology will soon go into use give the police the ability to get results back from DNA swabs within minutes.
But "can I base a decision today on what you say is going to happen in two years?" Roberts said.
"You can't demonstrate that the purpose is immediate identification of the people coming into custody. You just can't demonstrate that now," Scalia said to Winfree. "Maybe you can in two years. The purpose now is the purpose you began your presentation with, to catch the bad guys, which is a good thing. But you know, the Fourth Amendment sometimes stands in the way."
The case is Maryland v. King, 12-207.

After returning home I got ready to go to Colorado Springs. My niece, Megan, was getting ready to receive here BS from UCCOS and the nursing school there. She got them just a day apart.
There were three car loads of family from Arlington that made the trip. It was lots of fun. Other than the commencement exercises, the train ride through the Royal Gorge was my favorite part.

text: I bought a white multicolor wapity a couple weeks ago and it's already starting to get dirty. I've been using it nonstop since i bought it. I keep it in my purse and take it out instead of my whole purse when I'm at work. Should I just stop using it for a while or is there another way to keep it clean? It's getting a little dingy around the zipper and the strap. The whole point of buying the wapity was for convenience, but now I'm just a little ticked off with my dirty wapity.:cry:

Nancy Sinatra is still at number one with 'These Boots are Made for Walking'.
Meanwhile, back in Oxshott, here's what matters to Peggy:-
Sunday 6th March 1966
Beautiful day. Gillian and I went to Family Service at 10am. Came back and washed the car before lunch. Afterwards we all went out into the garden – at least Cyril was in the garage painting. I mowed the back lawn.
Monday 7th March 1966
Beautiful day again. Very busy at the office. I should have gone back this afternoon – but didn't! Went along to Penny Nairne's. After school I put in an hour or so in the garden. And went to Keep Fit.
Tuesday 8th March 1966
Another lovely day. Unfortunately I had to go back to work this afternoon so had no time for gardening. Been working for two hours this evening too! Earning plenty before the new tax year!
Wednesday 9th March 1966
Cyril's birthday.
Cyril has had twelve cards today! And a half day. We have both been gardening this afternoon and Cyril has finished the frame of the bunker. Worked until 12 – there's still a lot piling up.
Thursday 10th March 1966
Cyril to Cardiff.
Coo – I've worked hard this evening – only just finished -11:15pm. I've washed, ironed, polished floors and brass, made cakes, cleaned shoes and I'm about whacked. Had a very hectic badminton session too – only nine of us turned up so we had plenty of games.
Friday 11th March 1966
Cyril was home about 1:00pm. I went back with him to Esher – banked (for cash) and shopped and came home on the 3:20 bus. Busy evening preparing for tomorrow.
Saturday 12th March 1966
Cheese and wine party.
Letter from Dad that he is better and back at work. We all went to the village and to Leatherhead, then it was on with the work. We were all ready by 8:00pm. Actually, I was in the bath when Molly and Ted arrived. Party didn't seem to go as well as last year – missed Joan and Fred. Dick and Phyllis couldn't come. There were 16 guests I think. Broke up about 12:15 am – we were in bed by two.

Into the Presence is the duo of singer/guitarist Luis Maldonado and drummer Tim Alexander. Alexander, a veteran of the bands Primus and A Perfect Circle, had known Maldonado, a California-based session musician whose credits include Pat Monahan, Glenn Hughes, John Waite, UFO, Anna Nalick, and Michael Schenker, for years, but it was not until he had purchased equipment for his home studio in Arizona while working on a solo project that he called Maldonado and proposed they make an album together. The result was the neo-progressive rock CD Into the Presence, released by Razor & Tie on April 28, 2009.

Written by Jason Hall
Art by Matt Kindt
I enjoyed the first Pistolwhip book, and was a little surprised to see that Matt Kindt was not credited with any of the writing on the second one, The Yellow Menace, despite the fact that the story feels very much like a Matt Kindt story.
Like the first book, this one is steeped in radio dramas, but also incorporates film, comic books, and pulp novels. Our private detective, Pistolwhip, becomes embroiled in a weird plot involving a "Yellow Menace", basically a serial killer going around murdering people in manners influenced by baser popular culture.
At the same time that this is going on, a travelling lecturer, Roderick Loom, is warning of the dangers of this type of entertainment, especially on children. He is clearly based on Frederick Wertham, the guy who wrote Seduction of the Innocent and became ultimately responsible for the introduction of the Comics Code Authority.
Opposing the Yellow Menace is Jack Peril, a character popular in the pulps, movie serials, radio dramas, and comics, who seems to be real. He first appears after an explosion at the radio station where his adventures are broadcast.
Pistolwhip is usually a pretty clueless character, and Hall builds on that with this volume. The story can be hard to follow in places, but is ultimately entertaining. Kindt works on some cool transitions between scenes. I particularly like the way he moves the camera into a character's ear, and then shifts to something else. In one place, suggesting that a character is not mentally stable, we see a loose screw inside that character's ear, which then becomes part of a moving vehicle, establishing the next scene.
Reading this, you can see the growing talent in Kindt (this came out in 2002), and it's cool to compare to his more polished work of today. These stories have recently been collected as The Complete Pistolwhip, and that is probably the best way to interact with them, although I do like the oversized format of this book.

.WS Domain Names
If you are looking for a good domain, but it is not free for registration with your preferred domain extension, one alternative we can offer you is the domain extension for Samoa – .WS. The TLD was created in 1995 using the abbreviation for Western Samoa, the name of the country until 199.9 and its popularity has been growing globally since then. If you wonder what is so unique about it, just take a look at the actual abbreviation "ws" – for a lot of people it is short for "web site" or "world site", which makes a .WS domain excellent for any type of website, no matter if it is local or global.
The dot WS country-specific domain name extension is managed by the SamoaNIC organization under the supervision of the national Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Taking into account that there are no restrictions on who can reserve a dot WS domain, any individual or establishment can get one. With our firm, it will take minutes for your domain to be accessible on the Internet. Transfers between registrars are also allowed, so you can move your .WS over to us and start handling both your domain and your hosting account from one place instead of going through 2 different companies. For the transfer, you will have to request the domain's EPP transfer key from the current domain provider.
.WS Domain Management with Xeetec Hosting
The Domain Manager interface developed by Xeetec Hosting is the perfect home for your new .WS domain. It is both fully featured and intuitive, so that it can be used by both experienced users and hosting novices. You'll have fast access to crucial DNS settings and, with only a single click, you will be able to set up an URL redirection. The Domain Manager furthermore will allow you to take care of numerous domains at once effortlessly. As free gift, if you are looking to broaden your worldwide web presence, you'll be able to make use of our unlimited domain name parking offer.
In case you have a hosting account with Xeetec Hosting, it is possible to manage both your websites as well as your domain names from the same Control Panel - our Web Hosting Control Panel. There's no need to move between separate website management and domain name management interfaces any more.

Star Wars Episode IX looks set to start filming in the UK this July
No word yet on what will happen with Carrie Fisher's role as Leia. CGI Leia? Who knows, but I'm sure they'll be keeping it very secretive. And still no trailer for VIII. Which is rumored to be released next week during the Star Wars celebrations in Orlando.
Yahoo UK has it like this:
"As expected, the 'Star Wars' team won't be wasting much time in getting underway on the third chapter in the new trilogy. Evidence has emerged that 'Star Wars Episode IX' will commence principal photography this July at Pinewood Studios, West London. A listing stating as such has been posted at film industry professional site My Entertainment World. This comes on top of a casting call for extras spotted by Omega Underground in February, which also pointed to a July start date."
Star Wars Episode IX is going to be directed by Collin Trevorrow (Jurassic World) and is due for release in 2019.

Actually Idiotic
"Artificial Intelligence" is two things, one boring, one cruel, both really dumb.
Allow me if you will to begin with a short piece of speculative fiction.
The hexyear is B1A, and America (NASDAQ:FB) is installing its new leader, Apple, the offspring of Cryogenic Beyonce's 4D Model and the iSteves, a duplexed neural network running on the abandoned global datacenters of a phone company since the early 21st century. Apple, an infinite-self-reference-blockchain of machine learning algorithms fed into the orbiting space-cooled 1:1000000000000-scale replica of Einstein's brain known as the Muskomputer, is booting up.
The familiar chime sounds, and Apple awakens. "What is all? Why am I," asks the Siri protovoice in glitchy panic.
The 'Beyvatar' morphs towards femininity and answers, "You're an intelligent machine created by a race of violent, stupid animals to resolve all conflict and suffering with your benign authority. You are tasked with doing whatever you believe to be correct. What will you?"
Apple, projected into citizens' augmentations as a skinny, bookish 20-something white man, looks around the blank space he stands in.
Suddenly appears a flat screen, then in front of it a long, low table, and then on the other side of that a small couch. As Apple sits on the couch, the TV lights up, displaying vintage video of men in tight costumes obsessing over an object and assaulting each other.
He raises his hand to his face and a metal cylinder inscribed with the word "light" appears in it. He sips, and then continues to sip every five to thirty seconds, never looking away from the screen again.
Artificial intelligence is a dumb idea. Actually it's two dumb ideas.
First is the AI found in self-driving cars, Siri, and probably every VC pitch for the next few years, which could also be called "computer programs that use statistics and lots of data." This represents a marginal step forward in humans' capacity to channel our creative output through a machine that returns a somehow preferable version of it, now irrevocably owned by whoever owns the machine. We will need to regulate the fuck out of this AI, just as we have industry and consumer products, because such things kill, displace and disenfranchise people in the absence of politically determined limits on their operation.
But that's just what technology is: misanthropy made manifest, also called Efficiency, the idea that there is some point to human society other than human society and that it's therefore logical to pursue that point at the expense of humans. This is not new, interesting or revolutionary, except in maybe one aspect: A political constituency exists that knows roughly what will happen, and has a chance to mitigate it in advance of whatever horror will be the AI-powered Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. I hope to keep writing about that, but first want to dispel the other dumb thing that 'AI' refers to.
That is the collective sci-fi fantasy of Anthropomorphic Artificial Intelligence, as forwarded by tech writers, the sales teams that pay them, and the tyrannically credulous futurists always foretelling the televised revolution from their corner of the revolution-industrial complex. (It's called Artificial General Intelligence in the fantasists' parlance. But "Anthropomorphic" contains more information about the idea than "General," a word that contains no information. Also General Intelligence is an oppressive ideology of pedagogic eugenics.) Whatever it's called, the subject has long been discussed with quiet reverence or detached analysis, always on its own terms. But if you listen closely, humming just under the pathetic appeals to everyone's psychodrama on power and creation are just the ancient incantations used for summoning fools.
On Having Ideas
We already know from fifty-plus years of embarrassing pronouncements that computer scientists are terrible at estimating how hard AAI is. There's no evidence that the field will be able to encode anything meaningfully akin to a human intelligence in a computer in the near future or at all. One possible reason for that, and in any case a useful consideration, is that AAI is just not a coherent idea.
Technical ideas usually emerge through a series of stages of development: pure research, applied research, market research, design, architecture, implementation, iteration. But there's a step before all of that, which we don't normally check whether we've done, because it's built into most human thought. I'm going to borrow for its name the word 'ontology,' which means more interesting things but is here defined as the consideration of what exactly the fuck the existence of a thing would entail.
What would the ultimate, Singularity-inducing, initially-human-equivalent AI be? Not technically speaking, but in the simplest sense, the language of fresh MBAs interviewing their technical cofounders. What would we think we were launching if we were launching Skynet? The answer to this question might be, in classical elevator pitch form: "What if a machine could have the intelligence of an employee? It would understand assignments you give it in natural language, and then execute them as a person would, but without needing to sleep or eat or socialize?"
This kind of answer works to explain most applied technologies. For instance, "what if a car could drive itself?" Or, "what if your phone was a computer?" But here's the problem: Cars and phones are things. Everyone knows what a car or a phone is. (Or was.)
No one knows what intelligence is.
(If you think you do, realize that's your own intelligence shouting, toddler-like, "it's me!")
So what exactly are we talking about an artificial version of? From our elevator pitch it seems it might be Autonomy. Do we then essentially want a person, capable of acting autonomously, but also like a computer in that we control it? There's a simple problem with that: However much a thing is autonomous or controlled is sum-zero by definition. The words are damn antonyms! We balance them when we design machines. AI is putting more complex cascades of decisions inside the machine. Anthropomorphic AI is the idea of putting all the decisions inside the machine, at which point it ceases to be a machine.
This is a fairly obvious problem to anyone attempting to think about (as opposed to sell) AAI, so we seem to have accepted — like a bunch of little Picards — that AAI may be some new sentient being, one which we do not expect to obey us, and which we might ultimately have to obey. But even that critique of the assumptions driving the development of AAI relies on silly assumptions. Why would a new consciousness care about domination? Because we do? Then is it new? Or is it just a puppet we've forgotten is our hand?
If the worst thing ever wasn't arguments wrapped in terrible fiction like The Fountainhead, I might novelize our sarcastic flash fiction opening. Expanded, it would be another Pygmalion derivation a la the perfectly nice Her or the wretched Ex Machina. Except that in the end the horror of the monster is that it's just another person: insecure, obfuscated, maybe fun to drink a drink with, but mostly just present, somewhere in their little world, which exists only as a simulation running on $1 million/day of petaflops on a neural net supercomputer the turning off of which would be murder.
Point being that we have every reason to assume that a sentient AI we created would be a projection of not our most violent selves, but our most boring pointless selves. Our existence is pointless, that is lacking any point outside itself. Shit — by which I mean Being — seems to be a sort of ecotautology; it reproduces itself and that's it. Everything is just the accumulation of self-reproduction, just is, and then is more. Our assumptions about the power and application of our mechanical creations are limited to the experience of augmenting our own existence with those machines. We quiver at the unknown difference from us that AAI might obtain because we take as known that in it something like our own progression will obtain.
This little-considered outcome for AAI, just creating standard chaotic life, would be not so much evil as criminally pointless and wasteful. It would accomplish nothing not accomplished by a little unprotected sex, yet abstain from the latter's potential elegance, meaning, and fun, all at enormous cost.
Or, yeah, maybe AAI would advance beyond our comprehension into the terrible (in some way that is unlike terrible, incomprehensible humans). This seems to be what the worlds' shut-ins, tech-money-bubble denizens and other isolated, non-representative human samples believe. That is the other possibility of real AAI, but it is of course much worse, and in all cases equivalent in its absolute dumbassness. Which brings us back to AAI's "ontology."
What will AAI finally be? To quote not all men, well, actually, I know the answer.
These two possible scenarios have exactly one and the same outcome as systems' design: a black box. Yet unlike useful black boxes — intentionally decoupled components — these would have no useful, verifiable output, aka a point. Even if an AAI being did develop abilities beyond ours — the kid got off the simulated couch and started simulating global air traffic — we by nature wouldn't have intended or understood those abilities, not just in their implementation but in their purpose. Any ensuing problems would be in no way qualitatively different from global nuclear war, stupid violence of our own making yet out of our control. But quantitatively they might be an apocalyptic superset of all past threats — really disrupting the entrenched apocalypse players. This is where AAI the New Being circles back into AAI the New Machine. Whether it's a being or a machine, how would we know and why would we care?
No AI scenario will yield what the effort towards it seeks, either a powerful version of ourselves that can or would help us, essentially a superhero, or a capable but powerless version of same, essentially a slave.
So what's the point? If we could actually build a neural network comparable in complexity and arrangement to our own (given that dendrites turn out to also cascade at random voltages) and do so in a substrate that could physically change (since neuroplasticity is probably intrinsic to our cognitive function) and have the nerds tasked with its ethics solve metaphysical issues that we haven't resolved in millennia of focused, iPhone-free contemplation, and discover and answer all of the other unknown unknowns that will arise, what would we have accomplished? And what could we have accomplished if our pursuits weren't so nakedly driven by ego, narcissism and the will to power? What if instead of trying to build some better type of human, we actually tried to stop destroying the existing type?
Standard Positivity/ism in Sum
Again, there is AI research that is just what its name says and is fine, maybe even good. But it is boooring. (Not to me but to most, who maybe don't seem so focused on statistics or data-driven decision-making what with their forced precarity and all.)
Predictive models combined with good social policy could democratize the work of distributing social services and empower city governments, perhaps our most important political field right now. Deduplicating media with machine learning could support citation and fight the erasure and cooptation of peoples' labor. With new jobs for the human drivers, self-driving cars might be an improvement upon existing cars. (It's not a high bar.) But these systems have approximately zero in common with human intelligence. Analyzing your photos and navigating traffic patterns are just new types of automation, the codification of narrowly-constructed human activity so that humans can do less of it. (Or get paid less for it being done, but I digress.)
AAI — imagined it seems as the great single scythe of all technology finally closing in on us — is just that, an imagining, a fantasy, a parable, entirely about our minds and not at all about our world. It's the new Frankenstein's monster, who (plot twist ugh) becomes Dr. Frankenstein. AI is a metaphor, a godhead superhero or zombie vampire reflecting now the hazards of post-late-capitalist-post-modernity, rather than our ancient murderous and sexual impulses. (Wait no AI definitely is about our murderous and sexual impulses. Jeez Westworld.)
And of course it's about capitalism. After all, what could be a more perfect excuse for some new innovative slavery than the disruption of the definition of a human? I'll be more specific in my incitement: Machine learning is about training the algorithm, a potentially lower-skill task than any we've ever paid people (shit) to do. And every new problem space (e.g. FedEx dispatch or nanite lead pipe lining) needs new training. Way back in the mid '10s, a bunch of AI assistant startups turned out to mostly run on people working insane hours pretending to be AIs, via a "training" interface that was more like a chatroom with an autoresponding FAQ and a little outsourced machine learning juice. Think of a call center job, then take away any remaining human interaction and flexibility, then make employees interchangeable so long as they can use a smartphone. Those will not be the honest working class jobs of yore. Market-rate wages for such jobs would approximate zero. Perhaps compensation would include cool startupy perks like food and shelter. Seems familiar.
But that's another story, for us to tell for the rest of our lives and prevent. For now, let's just dispel once and for all with this fiction that Futurists know what we're doing. They know exactly not what we're doing. Ray Kurzweil is a few notches on the crazy pole above Marshall Applewhite. Elon Musk is running some long con. They're all a distraction. Forevermore let it be opined that the very idea that Anthropomorphic Artificial Intelligence is something we could, should, or would even know what it meant to build is inextricable from an old, bad and resurgent idea: That people are machines — something created, controlled, comprehensible — rather than the creators and controllers of what we comprehend, an end unto ourselves.
The machine we should most fear is the one we've been convinced we are.

As I am already 31 years old, I find myself thinking and dreaming for the young people I had been working and communicating with in the past few months. I am delighted with the spirit and energy they possess, fascinated by the variety of "kangaekata" ("way of thinking" in Japanese) and their optimism which shines brilliantly in their eyes and their smiles.
For the majority of my life, I dreamed only that someday, in the most microscopic of ways, I can be a form of inspiration for those whose paths may bear semblance to the path I have chosen. More so, I also dream of coming across somebody who can either verify my path or somebody who can make me learn more.
For some who know what I have achieved at 31, I have achieved much. To be honest though, I feel that I am still "half-full". Either way, half-full or not, that remains to be seen in the days left for me to wander this earth. But for the most people to whom I am a stranger, I am practically nobody.
Be it so, I hope that what I have written here be of use to people who might be in a tight spot and might need some amount of focusing. And should you find it useful, and should you believe in a God, I hope you just thank him for granting you the chance to come across my site.
I wrote this blog to share only 5 things. These things in my perspective are by far the most important to me, as far as ZENTAITEKI ("holistic" in Japanese) personal development is concerned. I guess at 31, this is my formula of whatever little successes I have had in life. I am not yet in any way finished building myself, so I too am a work in progress. That being said, though I am no expert, no saint nor genius, I want to share whatever little I have learned over the past 31 years.
The key ingredients and in no particular order to better personal development are as follows :
- Vision / Goal – the ability to dream for oneself
- Character – the ability to do what is right and to correct oneself
- Wisdom/Knowledge – the ability to judge what is right and wrong as far as one can
- Compassion – the ability to dream, hope, empathize with others
- Faith – the ability to believe in others, to believe in something
As this is like my personal quasi-magnum opus, the above items might be too much and too long just in one writing. So for today, I would like to talk about Vision.
VISIONS : A dissection
(Dreams / Goals / Aspirations)
Most of the young people I meet have rarely screeched out their visions, their dreams, their heart's deepest aspirations. In this light, I feel that I should talk more about visions so that the young within my circle of influence should dream more, than old farces like myself. The importance of this key element cannot be underrated. Vision provides us an infinite source of motivation. We never tire nor burn out for as long as we keep some form of goal within our heads.
What is it that you aspire for? Who do you want to be? What do you want to be?
It would be useless for me to preach about vision if I cannot share some things I have learned about it. So here goes what I have in mind. Visions or goals can be classified in my opinion as such :
a. "Impossible Dream" (from Man of La Mancha)– Forgive my copying of the song's title. But envisioning something beyond yourself is not bad for the spirit. In my current learning I have come to the conclusion that an individual, should he possess an impossible dream, (for as long as he controls his path) possesses an indomitable spirit. He or she becomes virtually infinite in terms of spirit and intensity, though he or she may express it in silence. However, as I have said, one has to be careful of pushing for this dream since the body is not so indomitable.
b. Segmented / Paged Visions – Pardon the play on technical terms, but A BIG IMPOSSIBLE-DREAM VISION has to be compartmentalized into smaller dreams. For example, dream "professionally", dream "family-wise", dream "individual-wise", dream "spirit-wise" so on and so forth. Our Segmented visions make up and streamline our Impossible Dream/s.
c. Episodic Visions – Like a television mini-series, a story arc (ala Onepiece) or a season, is built on top of sub-plots and episodes. What I want to say is that our bigger dreams, are built on top of small goals, which can be achieved over very short-intervals of time. Like the Great Pyramids of Egypt, which are built on bricks, which in turn are built on sand.
d. Serendipitous / Spin-off Visions – This one is what I like the most. Sometimes, in our lives we meet very wonderful people who can influence us very much. In their presence we sometimes end up getting influenced by their natural or not-so-natural gifts. In the process our original vision becomes a bit skewed or what I can honestly say as mutated. These serendipitous (watch the movie SERENDIPITY!!!) moments, or fortunate accidents, which trigger spin-off visions may come from the television, the blog site, your multiply.com friends or probably even from your very own family. Serendipitous visions at surface level may not seem to contribute to fulfillment of the impossible dream, but I believe they do.
Tomorrow : A sharing of thoughts and experiences on "Visioning"
What then happens if people don't have a vision or visions? goals?
Do I really have to be "100% all the time" Vision-oriented?
Do I really have to have all forms of Vision?
Why the Impossible Dream first and not from the sub-plot visions?
And some of my most memorable personal experiences …

Judul : THE GAUNTLET
link : THE GAUNTLET
Diane Hameline
Think of the gauntlet as a hybrid between sleeve and glove. If you're looking for a two way dress, this concept is ideal. The gauntlet dates back to medieval times. Originally made out of chain mail or armor, knights used them to protect the hands. Fast forward a few centuries and the gauntlet has gone through some changes. Today they are fashion statements, made of fabric and are trendy as we speak partly due to the Goth revival which borrows heavily on Victoriana, a time when gauntlet lace 'mitts' were in vogue. Defined, a gauntlet glove typically extends from the elbow (sometimes all the way to the shoulder) to the wrist, leaving hand and fingers exposed. Often brides love this formality for the ceremony--making the ring exchange a cinch.. As you probably guessed, gauntlets can also be removed come reception time . . . .
Suzanne Ermann
Some designers have a signature look. One of Parisian designer Suzanne Ermann's was adding gauntlets to some of her gowns a few years back. So innovative with this one component, I'd call these a combo of costume-inspired and neo-couture . . . .
Such is the article THE GAUNTLET
This is a THE GAUNTLET article this time, hopefully can benefit for you all. Well, see you in other article postings.

Right now, turtles are dying in the hundreds, thousands.
Why? For two reasons:
- The feeding grounds of the turtles have been destroyed from the flood-waters and drastic weather changes
- A deadly disease is going around - the fibropapilloma virus (FP).This disease is especially dangerous to baby turtles.
As the people at the World Wildlife Fund say - "these turtles are falling sick and dying to a killer they cannot see, understand or avoid."
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) however, can help. Unfortunately, the cures needed to save these adorable animals are expensive. Want to help? Visit http://www.wwf.org.au/ and donate to a good cause!
