After the tour the sketchbooks will have a home in The Brooklyn Art Library. The idea of my journal traveling all over the world and ending up in a library New york..wow! So much fun!
So I ordered my sketchbook and this is what I got:
I made new pages from 300grams watercolorpaper, which can be folded out so I have more space to work on. After having filled all the pages with my collages (what else? -lol-) I want to bind the book again.
The sketchbook has to be back in New York before January 15, so I still have some time to fill the pages. I planned 24 pages but it is possible that I end up with less pages because of the thickness of the pages all together. The sketchbook may not be any thicker than one inch.
Here are the first 8 pages. The first three are finished (for now..maybe I will add more later on..), the other five will still need some journaling of course.
And this one is only the collage, waiting for the Big Paintmarker Attack...:
I'm not used to folding my collaged pages. I have to be very careful not to tear the picture or create a big lump. As you can see I didn't always succeed in that...but it is something I have to live with since the original size of the book is too small for me. Let's hope the overall look of the pages and the journal will make up for the lumps and tears!
By the way, the backgrounds of all the pages are painted with my new Thinkling H2O's from Luminarte. They blend so well and the glimmer in the paint is soooo gorgeous!
I only have 13 colors but I hope more will follow soon:
To be continued!

Former China Intelligence Officer Tells His Story On Capitol Hill
WASHINTGTON, D.C.—Chinese Intelligence Officer of the Ministry of State Security, Fengzhi Li, kept a low profile when he defected to the United States in 2004.
He was primarily concerned about the safety of his family, who were still on the Mainland. At the time, he needed to put some distance between himself and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Then the human rights situation in China got "worse and worse," he said. With access to the truth on how the Party suppresses the Chinese people, Li said he had to speak out to stop the killing and bring an end to a "brutal dictatorship."
The solitude that Mr. Li enjoyed for five years ended abruptly. Last week on March 11, Mr. Li became the first person who had worked in China's espionage system to publicly renounce his membership in the Chinese Communist Party. On March 15, Li was the focus of two rallies in the nation's capital, celebrating the withdrawal of 51 million Chinese from the CCP or its affiliated organizations.
Then four days later, on March 19, Li followed up his public statements with an appearance on Capitol Hill to issue a new statement, which is even more vitriolic and accusatory of his former employer. He answered questions from the press, and received greetings and high praise from one of Congress' leading human rights voices, Representative Dana Rohrabacher.
"In today's China, political, economic and social power is highly monopolized. Except for the Communist Party, no other individuals or groups have any freedom or power, said Li.
He continued: "In order to control its monopoly, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has developed a political system that reaches every corner of the society and uses all kinds of bloody means to suppress Chinese people and other political groups."
The picture that Li gives of China's security system is one that doesn't trust the people and thoroughly Orwellian.
"Employees of the national security system are supposed to protect the country and serve the country. But the CCP expends huge amounts of funds to suppress ordinary citizens and even extends the reach of their black hands overseas. In the past few years, to deal with the citizens who appeal for their rights, political dissidents, and spiritual groups, the CCP has increased its use of the state security systems to collect intelligence, carry out the monitoring, and so forth, even directly participating in arresting and persecuting those people."
Li said that he and many of his colleagues at the Ministry of State Security, were "furious" at the CCP's abuse of the country's resources to deal with decent Chinese folks. They ceased to trust and have confidence in the CCP.
Happiness is Not Only Economic Well-Being
One obstacle facing anyone who raises the issue of human rights atrocities in China is the common perception in the West that China has made tremendous progress economically, and that democracy and freedom are increasing with the economic expansion. This perception of China' progress needs to be corrected, according to Li.
Fengzhi Li, 41, was raised in a materialistic, atheistic environment, where the education system instilled communist values to children. Due to the one child policy, Li had no brothers or sisters, and he said to this reporter that the way it is enforced is heartless.
Based on what Mr. Li said about the "pursuit of happiness," a phrase out of the U.S. Declaration of Independence," opposing the materialistic CCP has led Mr. Li to dwell on the "pursuit" of other values. He said that economic improvement is only one facet of "the pursuit of happiness." Li says Chinese people should have the right to pursue their lives with dignity, pursue social justice, and pursue a spiritual life, like the free nations do in the West. He said that economic well-being cannot alone bring about true happiness.
"Today, when people around the world talk about China's economic growth, they should pay attention to the fact that China's economic growth has not brought about the social and political progress that it should have, and it has not brought ordinary Chinese people more freedom and political rights. The huge cost of the economic growth is worrisome, and it will eventually be paid by the Chinese people," said Li.
When human rights are respected, China will have "genuine progress," and it will benefit not only the Chinese people, but the world.
China's Spies Can Lead To Its Own Undoing
China scholar and NTD-TV commentator, Dr. Tianliang Zhang said he was reminded by the account given by Mr. Li of a popular German film, The Life of Others, that portrayed the inner life of a spy and won the Academy Awards for the best Foreign Language Film in 2007. It's about an agent working for the Stasi, the East German state police a few years before the fall of communism in the GDR. The agent, Captain Wiesler, is ordered to conduct surveillance on a dissident, who is suspected of pro-Western sympathies. But through getting to know him, the agent becomes sympathetic, and decides to distort and cover up for him in his reports to his superiors.
"An interesting aspect of this agent is that he is a faithful socialist," says Dr. Zhang. He joined the Stasi because he felt that he was protecting the country from any potential enemies. In the end, he discovered the corruption of the communist leaders and understood humanity through listening in on the dissident writer.
"Today when we know Mr. Li Fengzhi's story, we can see that what is depicted in the movie came true [for Li Fengzhi]," said Dr. Zhang.
Mr. Li's story demonstrates "a simple fact that if a person truly cares for the country and people, they know that the Communist Party is actually damaging the country and persecuting the people," said Dr. Zhang. And there is also the potential that when the state police monitor the people, they are positioned well to know the truth because they have access to the censored news denied to the people, and they may witness firsthand the sufferings of the regime's victims—people like the peaceful Falun Gong practitioners or a Christian like Attorney Gao Zhisheng.
Indeed, Mr. Li, as a former Intelligence agent, evolved in the same way as the fictional Stasi agent. Based on what he knows and on his understanding of what a free society should be like, Mr. Li says he is compelled to tell the West to awaken to the totalitarian nation that China has truly become. He tells us living in the West not to be fooled by the CCP and China's great economic progress. He implores us to realize that the human rights abuses are only getting worse."When the international community engages with China, if we only focus on temporary economic … benefits, but keep silent on human rights issues, it is the same as supporting the CCP. ... From this perspective, keeping silent equals being accomplices to the CCP's tyranny."

Sindo Garay
Antonio Gumersindo Garay y García, well-known as Sindo Garay (Santiago de Cuba, April 12 1867 - July 17 1968) was a Cuban musician that, even without having academic formation, he has managed to win an excellent place in the traditional trova.
He was creator of more than 600 works that depict the Cuban idiosyncrasy; among his themes he highlight his admiration for the homeland, landscapes, women and love.
Among his creations we find: Amargas verdades, Mujer bayamesa, Guarina, La tarde, Perla, Retorna y Tormento fiero.
Several of his creations have a political content.
During his childhood he acted like link of the mambí colonel José Maceo.
Also for then he knew to José Martí, for what he would include in his repertoire the poem Semblanza de Martí, based on the meeting that he had with the same one.
Outstanding and noted Sindo Garay died in the second half from the XX century with 101 year old.

Saturday morning I went to Emily's Destash Sale, and I made a haul.
Here's Emily with the cash box. All the stuff at the sale belonged to her, her Mom and her sister.
I was the only knitter when I came by. Emily said a bunch of knitters came right when they opened at 10. Several other random people swung by while I was there, although I think most of them weren't expecting so much yarn.
Let's start with what I didn't buy. I didn't even get a good look at the knitting machine. I didn't want to make Emily pull it out when I knew I couldn't buy it. Besides, it would have been way too tempting. I also passed on the combs, even though they were a good deal. I managed to leave behind some vintage Patons and some wonderfully eighties (maybe seventies) Dazzleaire. Those would have been worth it for the labels alone.
Emily also had some very reasonably priced sock yarn.
I did leave with some of this stuff. I'm not sure exactly what type of yarn this is, but it's from Estonia, apparently. It's kind of scratchy, but the colors were beautiful. When Emily said it was like Kauni, I was sold.
After much debate, I filled my box and left. Here is the yarn I ended up with:
The yarn on the left is Rellana Luna yarn, a self striping wool/acrylic blend with a Noro feel. The middle yarn is Filanda Supersport, a very practical wool/acrylic blend that will be great for baby knits. On the right is my Estonian yarn, of course.
I got some non-yarn stuff as well, including Ecospun, a fiber made out of old plastic bottles, a shawl pattern and a wonderfully retro copy of Knitter's magazine from 1992. I think the magazine was worth the dollar for this old Lily Chin pattern alone.
And of course, there was this:
A fully functional loom for $2. Of course, it's plastic, designed for kids and missing the accessories and directions. But for $2 I can figure it out.
I can't wait to get weaving!
(All my pictures of the destash sale are here.)

You can now get the #Verizon #GalaxyNote5 for just $329.99 on eBay. The smartphone is last year's Note flagship and incidentally the only Note flagship you can buy in the market following the early demise of the Galaxy Note 7. Keeping this in mind, there's still some demand for this 2015 flagship. The seller is offering the handset in a 32GB configuration.
The Galaxy Note 5 comes with a 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display, a 16-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front camera, the octa-core Exynos 7420 SoC, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of non-expandable storage, Android 5.1 Lollipop (upgradable to Marshmallow), and a 3,000 mAh battery. Unfortunately, the seller is only offering the Galaxy Note 5 here in a Sapphire Black variant, so there aren't a lot of options to choose from.
But if that's not much of a caveat for you, be sure to check out the smartphone from the eBay link below.

First fluid knots created in the lab
WATER has been tied in knots for the first time, using 3D-printed strips of plastic shaped like knotted wings. Once merely theoretical objects, fluid knots made in the lab might lead to better models of airflow around aircraft wings or of strange quantum substances like superfluids.
Unlike the knots in your shoelaces, the knots that physicists and mathematicians talk about are closed entanglements that cannot be untied because they have no ends. The simplest of these are the trefoil, a loop that crosses itself three times, and the Hopf link, two linked loops.
The idea of a knot made of fluid first cropped up in the 1860s when the mathematical physicist Lord Kelvin suggested that atoms might be knots in the ether – a mysterious fluid then thought to permeate the universe. That idea bombed, but since then knots have become central to many aspects of science, from mathematics to biology.
A knot in fluid will never unravel if it is made of a theoretical "ideal fluid", one that flows with no resistance. Until now we had no idea whether knots form in real fluids like water or air and, if so, whether they come undone, or if the knot is preserved in a more diffuse form.
To investigate, Dustin Kleckner and William Irvine of the University of Chicago in Illinois dragged their plastic knots through water filled with microscopic bubbles. Just as a wing passing through air creates a trailing vortex, the acceleration of the wings created a knot-shaped vortex that sucked in the bubbles. The result was a knot-shaped flow of bubbles, which the team imaged with lasers (Nature Physics, doi.org/kps).
Kleckner and Irvine are now investigating whether they can make more complicated fluid knots. "We don't think there is a fundamental limit," says Irvine.
Studying water knots could improve our understanding of other kinds of vortices, such as those that roll off aircraft wings. Knotted vortices might also show up naturally, for example, in superfluids, frictionless quantum fluids that are thought to exist inside neutron stars. Creating knots in water provides an easier way to study their quantum cousins, as the lasers used to image those knots would heat up a superfluid, destroying its properties.
"Making knots in water offers an easier way to study vortices in strange quantum superfluids"
Being able to create and picture these knots is impressive, says Mark Dennis at the University of Bristol, UK. "Kelvin spent a long time trying to understand how vortex knots would flow in fluids, and since then experimentalists have tried to realise his idea." Now theory and experiment have come full circle, which takes the study of both knots and fluids further, he says.

My feet are on fire!
Okay, so I sit here with burning feet knowing I have medicated cream to use three times a day on my feet. I just either forget, don't take it serious, etc. of using it. Then, I end I am in pain…ulgh. My questions, any suggestions to help me get in gear with this? Also, how serious can this be? Is it? Or is it just that you stay uncomfortable? Thanks for any thoughts here. Sheila
6 replies
We may associate red peppers with many things, but "feet" aren't usually on the list. Until now.
For those with pain in their feet caused by nerve disease, a "red pepper cream" may spell relief. The active ingredient is capsaicin, a chemical found in hot chili peppers. When you apply it topically to your feet, it depletes the pain-causing body chemical called substance P, the American Diabetes Association says.
Initially, capsaicin causes cells to release substance P, which, in turn, causes a burning or stinging sensation. (Remember how your mouth feels when you eat hot peppers?) When capsaicin is applied regularly (three or four times daily for several weeks), substance P is eventually depleted from cells, and you may feel relief from pain. Capsaicin does not work for everybody.
Capsaicin is available without a prescription as a 0.025%, 0.05% or 0.075% cream or ointment (Zostrix). A prescription strength (0.25%) product is also available (Dolorac). The cream can be used safely, but you must be careful to use gloves and wash your hands thoroughly after applying it to avoid getting the medication in your eyes.

text: ALBANY David J. Swarts, Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles and Chair of the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC); James F. May, Chairman of New York State STOP-DWI Association; Harry J. Corbitt, Superintendent of the State Police; John P. Grebert, Executive Director of the Chiefs of Police Association; and Peter R. Kehoe, Executive Director of the New York State Sheriffs Association announced today that the latest 2008 STOP-DWI enforcement effort is underway statewide. The STOP-DWI crackdown on impaired driving during the Fourth of July holiday period began on June 27 and continues through July 6, with an emphasis on the holiday weekend. Law enforcement agencies will be out in force statewide to deter impaired driving and ensure the safety of our roadways. In 2006, 41 percent of motor vehicle fatalities nationwide were alcohol related, and 38 percent of total fatalities in New York involved one driver with a blood alcohol content level of .08 or higher. "Although New York has a good record when it comes to impaired driving prevention, too many people become needless victims because of crashes caused by drunk or impaired drivers," Commissioner Swarts said. "STOP-DWI efforts are critical to reducing the number of alcohol related fatalities and injuries, and I commend the law enforcement community for their steadfast commitment to ensuring the safety of all motorists across New York State." "The STOP-DWI Association is pleased to join the New York State County Sheriffs, the Chiefs of Police, the State Police and the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee in helping to make the 4th of July Holiday safe for all New Yorkers," said James F. May, Chairman of the STOP-DWI Association. "The STOP-DWI Crackdown Campaign serves to remind everyone not to get behind the wheel of a car if they've been drinking and that law enforcement will find and arrest those that don't heed this warning. We hope this STOP-DWI Crackdown effort will save lives and make the 4th of July safe for everyone." "We always expect greater traffic volume over the July 4th Holiday Weekend, and so should every driver," said State Police Superintendent Harry J. Corbitt. "Unfortunately, when the traffic increases so does the potential for crashes, so all motorists should make sure they obey speed limits, drink non-alcoholic beverages if they are driving, and buckle up everyone in the car. Those that don't should expect flashing lights in their rear view mirror, because troopers will be out in force looking for them and other drivers like them, who choose to jeopardize the safety of our roads this weekend. We're committed to keeping the roads safe, and we ask the same of you." "The 4th of July holiday weekend is an occasion when many of us celebrate and share good times with our friends and families, but it is also one of the deadliest weekends on our nation's highways," said John Grebert, Executive Director of the State Association of Chiefs of Police. "Each year thousands of lives are lost as a result of motorists operating their vehicles while their ability is impaired. Targeted enforcement, public information and education are the keys to combating impaired driving and deterring this behavior. This effort will save lives and improve safety on our highways." Peter R. Kehoe, Executive Director of the State Sheriffs' Association said, "The 4th of July is a traditional time for family picnics, fireworks and summer fun. To insure that we all enjoy a safe holiday, the deputy sheriffs of New York will be especially vigilant this weekend to keep our streets and highways free of those who choose to endanger all of us by drinking and driving. Deputies will work in cooperation with the State Police and officers from municipal police departments to identify and arrest those motorists who drive while impaired by alcohol or other drugs." The Fourth of July effort is the third of six major STOP-DWI Crackdowns targeting popular celebration weekends during 2008. The first was during the weekend of the Super Bowl from January 28-February 4, followed by the St. Patrick's Day effort from March 14-18. Other crackdown periods this year include: August 13-September 2, for Labor Day; October 24-November 2, for Halloween; and November 21-January 1, 2009, for the Thanksgiving through New Year's holiday season. While these crackdowns have a positive impact, it is important to remember that every 30 minutes, someone in the U.S. dies in an alcohol-related crash. There has also been an alarming upward trend in impaired driving-related fatalities from 382 in 2004 to 397 in 2006, which represents a 4 percent increase statewide. STOP-DWI, which stands for "Special Traffic Options Program for Driving While Intoxicated," was enacted to coordinate local efforts to reduce alcohol and other drug-related crashes in a comprehensive and financially self-sustaining highway safety program. The STOP-DWI program permits each of the state's counties to establish a STOP-DWI Program that qualifies for the return of all fines collected for alcohol and other drug-related traffic offenses occurring within its jurisdiction. All 62 counties are participating, and each appoints a STOP-DWI Coordinator to work with agencies involved in alcohol and highway safety. Although the development and implementation of STOP-DWI programs rests with the counties, the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles is responsible for approving county STOP-DWI plans.

She walks out of the shower gracefully. Her snow-white towel tied up to her bosom. The steam tries to escape the shower and follow her but she shuts the door behind her. Her name is Stacy. She lets loose the towel and throws it on the bed. Now she's naked. Such beauty. Stacy turns to look herself in the mirror besides her. She sways her body to the side and gets a good look at her hips and ass. Her big round bottom. Every time she does that, she gets a cathartic feeling. Sometimes she loves how she feels and looks. Other times she's not sure about it and finds it hard to believe Carlos when he says she's beautiful. When he stares long at her thinking about how he'll subdue her with his touch as they make love. And how he affirms her naked body. She thinks he's lying, but he's not. He means it.
By now Stacy's skin is almost drying up. She reaches for her Lóreal body lotion, steps one leg on the bed and begins to oil herself gently. Her mind racing, lost in love. Carlos seems to have an unfathomable grip on her. They've dated for two and a half years now. And as this year ends, she reflects on how far they've come. And boy, have they come a long way! She sighs. A smile curves on her face as she slips her Victoria's Secret red-laced panties on. It's funny how she teases him to put them back on after having sex, the same way he was ambitious to get them off her in the first place. He'll giggle sarcastically and kiss her on the forehead, 'haha! Next time I will.' Only that next time, he'll repeat the same exact drill. Déjà vu!
Stacy dresses up for him. She's turned herself into an object of his desire. And thank God, he loves her as much. All that would mean nothing if he didn't.
Today is date night. He'll come spend the night at her place and cook ugali. She'll prepare the meat and he'll be the mixologist – mixing up Jameson whisky cocktails for her as he takes his shots on the rocks. They'll cuddle and kiss. Then kiss some more. They'll laugh and tease each other.
Stacy is all dressed up now. She sits on her bed, legs crisscrossed before her like a monk. She grabs her Samsung Galaxy S7 phone and checks to see if he's texted her. It's almost impossible to go silent for long. She finds a text from him: 'Hey Beautiful, just left the office.' She replies back.
Then, she waits. Obliviously, she teleports herself to a world of thought, trying to figure out how deep in love she is. Like how did it all happen? At first, she didn't give two hoots about Carlos. She found him too bossy and self-centred. She could never see herself dating such a man, a true reflection of her own father; the side she hated about him. But Carlos seemed to have grown fond of her all along. In their few interactions among their circle of friends, he tried to pull her aside for a chat, but she always had an excuse. Most coffee dates, she turned down. It wasn't even much of playing hard to get, she simply didn't like the guy. He stood no chance. But Carlos kept on knocking at her door. Hopeful that one day, she'd let him in.
For long, there was no answer.
Now, it's hard to believe she's the one smitten in love. It was only a matter of time. When she finally opened the door, a wave of love swept in. It consumed her. Surely, love has no rule book. It plays its own game.
She remembers how he asked her out. They'd come from visiting a friend. Their now budding friendship was leading to a relationship. Overtime, Stacy had slowly let her guards down. She was getting to know Carlos for herself; who he really was. He was funny, always sustaining a smile on her face even on those cold hard days. Stacy found him witty, caring and loving. She could not understand how she missed all those signs in the beginning. While walking at the park, he held her hand and pulled her under a tree. A serious I-mean-business-type-of-face replaced his warm smile. For a moment, she was scared of what he was about to say.
'There's something I've been meaning to tell you for a long time and I think this is the right time to say it.'
'What is it?' she asked. Donning a worried face as Carlos' smile had disappeared into a frown looking at her. She didn't know he was pulling one of those tricks on her. Deep down, she wondered whether he'd say it's over between them. Long before it even started. She'd just started warming up to the idea of dating and loving him.
Then came the question.
'Stacy, will you be my girlfriend?'
Her hands immediately perched on her mouth as she said repeatedly, 'oh my gosh!' She made two steps back. Her eyes – big sexy eyes – reading the emotions on his face. His signature smile was back again. Meaning every single word, he just said.
'YES. I'll be your girlfriend Carlos,' she said after a long pause. Words that ignited a surge of emotions in his macho heart. He was elated.
He hugged her so tight and for the first time, they kissed. Carlos says he remembers that kiss till now. It was a slice of heaven. Stacy doesn't understand how so, she says she had mixed reactions kissing him but she enjoyed it too. Plus, she was shy.
It's been a beautiful love journey for them. Some ups and downs of course and each day, they've both fallen deeper in love. Stacy forever mesmerized by his affection towards her. And now, Carlos is eager to take it to the next level.
There's a knock at the door. It's a familiar knock.
Stacy snaps back to reality. She springs from her bed. She can tell who's at her door, his cologne scent is etched in her mind. She'll rush across the rooms almost tripping her favourite flower vase on the wall of her sitting room. A big smile on her face. Once she opens the door, her knight in shining armour will be standing there, holding something in his hands but much more eager to hug her.
'Hi Babe….' he'll say.
She'll answer him with a warm hug, then peck his neck softly. They'll get inside, jabbering pleasantries as she helps him carry the shopping bags. Carlos will shut the door behind him.
They'll share a beautiful night in each other's arms.

Exchange continues after the exhibition
The International contemporary art exhibition SONSBEEK '16 has ended, but the exchange initiated by the curatorial collective ruangrupa is getting a follow-up. SONSBEEK '16: transACTION was a bold and successful experiment for this Indonesian collective. In their proposal for the exhibition in Arnhem, ruangrupa did not begin with a "concept", but rather with a theme and a method. Their whole approach focused on experimentation and exchange, a process where the outcome is unpredictable, and where failure can be a fruitful result. During its 14-week run, SONSBEEK '16: transACTION attracted about 140,000 visitors.
The exhibition as a whole, and in particular the artists and their works, deepened the contacts with residents, visitors, and the local area. This was due in part to the hospitable and inspiring efforts of more than 150 volunteers and guides. With the social urgency of the theme, as well as the enthusiastic participation of the audience and many Arnhem residents, the SONSBEEK '16 edition has been one that is firmly anchored in society.
Local partnerships
SONSBEEK '16 took place in Park Sonsbeek, several locations in the city and in Museum Arnhem and Museum Bronbeek. In total, ruangrupa selected 45 artists from 22 countries, who made a total of 56 works. Some of these works were linked to local cultural partners, such as CODE ROOD, Generale Oost, Motel Spatie, and Focus Filmtheater, who together created programming in the city.
Museum Arnhem featured the exhibition transHISTORY: this is my truth, tell me yours, which focused on personal histories, often related to the history of colonization. Museum Bronbeek featured a work of Juul Sadée that addressed the colonial past, especially its impact on the second generation of the Moluccan community.
Open call
With their installations, the artists in Park Sonsbeek invited residents and visitors to respond to the works, for example by altering or adding something to them. With their "open call", ruangrupa invited everyone to actually use the works. During the exhibition, residents and visitors organized 80 different activities, including birthday parties, yoga classes, performances, workshops, and the use of artworks as a theatre café and information centre during the Sonsbeek Theater Avenue.
Continuation of ruru huis and ruru buitendienst
Although SONSBEEK '16 was an experiment with an open end, ruangrupa expressed their hope at the start of the exhibition that the many encounters, friendships, and international collaborations would also continue after the exhibition ended. With the continuation of the ruru huis, a working and meeting place that ruangrupa opened a year before the actual opening of the exhibition with the goal of launching the meeting and collaboration process, SONSBEEK '16 will have a sequel. Likewise, the ruru buitendienst research program, which explores the idea of public space in Arnhem by means of research, artistic interventions, and alternative city walks, will also remain active.
With this exhibition, the Sonsbeek International Foundation and the Municipality of Arnhem have expressed their ambition to have the exhibition take place every four years. In addition, a feasibility study is currently underway for "State of Fashion in 2018", which would also take place once every four years. By organizing a major event every two years, the Sonsbeek International Foundation would take on a structural character.

Malcesine on the north-eastern shore is probably the most popular resort on the Lake. The beautiful town with its narrow lanes, the small harbour as well as the pretty walkway along the Lake invite visitors to have a stroll. The Scaliger castle stands in solitary splendour on higher ground and offers a great view of the Lake. Malcesine was also the seat of the Veronese Captains of the Lake, whose palazzo today serves as the town hall. An even more superb view of the Lake and its surroundings are offered from Monte Baldo. A completely restored cable-car ascends the mountain. The station at the top end is 1800m above the Lake and an ideal starting point for hikes or mountainbike tours.

The bathroom is the most challenging room in a home to design. There are a limited number of components – usually a sink, a WC, a bathtub, and/or a shower – but each one is attached to the wall, the floor, or both. And if anything doesn't look right, work properly or feel exactly as it should, the option of tearing it all out and starting over is a pipe dream.
Quality bath fittings and fixtures are quite expensive to purchase and even more costly to install. That, coupled with the permanence of all the bathroom's elements, demand that you take your time to analyse the options, and make selections for the long term.
So, what exactly is the perfect bathroom? It should be a space with a meticulous balance of practical considerations – such as shower velocity, flattering light, a tub that fits your body, a faucet that is comfortable in your hand – and design dynamics – a blend of materials, colours, textiles and accessories that add scale and visual appeal. That is why the foundation of all successful bathrooms is planning: failure to do so can lead to havoc, not only in the room
What to include in your bathroom?
The first step in going from unchecked fantasy to achievable reality is simply beginning a process of choices – here are some things to consider:
- Do you want a combination tub and shower or to separate the two?
- Will one or two people be showering at the same time, and how big a space, shower heads and valves are needed?
- Do you need a seat in the shower?
- Are you planning to have a hand shower?
- Where will you place your bath products?
- Is one sink sufficient?
- Are you planning for storage in the bathroom?
- Do you want the WC in its own dedicated space?
- Where will you place the sockets to power your razor and electric toothbrush?
- How about the laundry basket?
Once you have made these choices, weigh them against the square footage – for example, if you decide on a double vanity, consider whether there will be room for a separate tub and shower – and your budget. This process will enable you to think in concrete terms about what you really want or need, to prioritise your preferences, and to make choices that allow your bathroom to take shape.
Deciding on a bathroom design
It's essential to become clear about your design preferences, and this must be done before you hire a professional or make any aesthetic decisions. Every detail should look and feel like a deliberate choice, and the more clearly you articulate your personal style and taste, the better equipped you will be to make smart selections for your bathroom. Tear out examples of rooms that you like from magazines, tag pictures in books, and mine the multiple online resources that are available.
Once you have assembled your images, take time to edit your portfolio. Patterns, colours, and similarities will emerge and help paint a picture of your personal aesthetic. In the end, there will be 10 to 12 images that tell your story – they will be useful not only to you, but to the design professionals you work with. A good designer will help translate this information. Remember, once the work is done, it is your house – and you need to own the outcome.
Bathroom plumbing
Water is the single most important consideration in the bathroom's planning and design. When we move into a new house, water is seldom uppermost in our minds. But given how much time we spend in the bathroom, and our practical and experiential desires, the issue should be front and centre. The challenges one faces in an apartment can be especially tricky. Moving stacks, pipes, and drains is next to impossible. And your ability to control temperature fluctuates over the course of the day as overall usage waxes and wanes.
Houses, of course, offer greater flexibility, and, if you install a pump, you will have near complete control over the water pressure. These considerations are less than glamorous but a comprehensive understanding of your home's water situation will enable you to make far more nuanced and effective choices. Consult with your contractor, get to know your water, and plan accordingly.
Creating a comfortable bathroom
It is never too early in the design process to consider ergonomics, which is, simply put, the science of comfort. Comfort remains as important a consideration as any on bathroom design; if the space isn't comfortable, it's not going to promote rest, reflection, or restoration. Even
Also worthy of consideration are the ergonomics of personal preference. I always recommend that people sit in a bath before making a decision about it – not only to be certain that it is capacious enough, but also to ensure that the angle of the back is comfortable, and that the depth won't leave you over or under-submerged.
Issues of comfort that are specific to oneself are central to the bath experience, so make sure the ergonomics, both general and personal, are as well considered as the way that things look.
Bathroom lighting and mirrors
In no room is proper lighting more essential than in the bathroom – the place where you need to see well enough to put on make-up, get a close shave, and inspect the outcome. And, of course, you must have something to see in, which means accompanying the best lighting package with an equally high-quality mirror.
Many designers recommend a combination of mirror lighting for applying make-up, down lighting for overall illumination, and a decorative pendant. As for the mirror, it needs to be of sufficient quality to stand up to the bathroom's atmospheric conditions, and the alternation between dryness and moisture, while also enabling you to see yourself accurately and cleanly.
Choosing a bathroom designer
When it comes to bathroom design, a talented, experienced architect or designer can ensure the success of your project. Hiring one might seem like an unnecessary or extravagant expense, but a trained professional can often save you money and time by improving your bathroom's layout. They will also find ways to maximise the space you have available by creating drawings and plans that will be used to construct the finished space.
A design professional will know what will and won't work in terms of materials, lighting, and construction. And by supervising your contractor, managing the subcontractors, phone calls and ordering of materials, a designer will make the process more transparent and less frustrating. If you find the right collaborator, your new bathroom will come to life in unexpectedly satisfying ways.
How to find a plumber
Word-of-mouth recommendations are always the best way to find tradespeople. If this isn't possible, try the Association of Plumbing & Heating Contractors (APHC). The APHChas plumbers inspected in line with membership rules, including accreditation under the Competent Persons Scheme and Water Regulations Approved Contractor Scheme.
They must comply with minimum trading standards and building regulations, and follow a set-out complaints procedure. Visit the site for guides on understanding your plumbing and heating systems, and to search for a local tradesperson.

The unemployment rate among people eligible for benefits rose to 2.6 percent in the week ended Nov. 3 from 2.5 percent. Thirty-four states and territories reported an increase in claims, while 19 reported a decrease.
Initial jobless claims reflect weekly firings and tend to fall as job growth -- measured by the monthly non-farm payrolls report -- accelerates.
The payroll report released Nov. 2 wasn't affected by Sandy. Businesses in the U.S. hired 184,000 workers in October, the most since February, indicating they see enough demand to expand even in the face of the tax increases and spending cuts slated for January unless Congress acts.
Still, changes to headcount show the labor market hasn't been able to gain traction in 2012. Gains in total payrolls so far this year have averaged 157,000 a month, little changed from the 153,000 average for 2011.
A separate survey of households showed the jobless rate rose to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent in September as 578,000 people joined the workforce is search of a job, swamping the 410,000 gain in employment.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and his policy- making colleagues last month had a detailed discussion about whether the central bank should link its policy of holding the main interest rate at zero to numerical measurements of unemployment and inflation, an approach that participants "generally favored" over the current approach of specifying a calendar date through which rates will remain low, minutes of their October meeting released yesterday showed.

Hi, Rebecca. Our mutual friend Susan Kendrick emailed me about you living in Shanghai. That's fantastic! I'm going to China for a week in October. Will be in Shanghai Oct 18-21.

And now I must comment on a few things...
1:12 ~ They called Fanny strong-willed! Yay. I like them. Mrs. Norris and Sir Thomas don't seem very striking, but the quotes are coming out of the book I think, so that's good. Henry Crawford seems to do tolerably... Fanny too, although she looks less like Fanny than she did on the poster.
1:38 ~ Aww, one of my favorite scenes from the book! Fanny does tolerably but I don't much care for Edmund. He seems like a modern guy dressed in Regency attire (and probably not enjoying it).
2:10 - 2:20 ~ Ugh! Edmund! Don't be an idiot!
2:20 ~ "Nevah, NEVAH!" Squeal!!! I've imagined Fanny saying that before. Ahhh, I do love Fanny. She knows he's a jerk even though everyone else is too stupid to realize it... :P And honestly, the way they try to pressure her into marrying him, appealing to her sense of duty and honor... argh!!! It makes me want to go do something drastic to them. Or jump into the story and make myself a nice supportive friend for Fanny. Sigh.
Well, it doesn't really seem like the greatest thing ever, but if I lived in England I'd have tried everything to be able to go. To see a professional Jane Austen play at a theater!! Are there many felicities in the world superior to that? ;)
|Mary and Edmund, foreground; Fanny, background
There are also some cast interviews on the theater company's channel. The Mary Crawford actress seemed to have a pretty good understanding of the story, I think, even if I didn't quite agree with all her opinions (although she made good points). She would do Mary well, I think. And as for the Fanny actress-- well, it was a short interview, but at the end she was asked if she thought Fanny should end up with Edmund or Henry, and she said "Definitely Edmund! Definitely Edmund--no question." And I was like, okay. YOU PASS. And she understands that there is a lot more to Fanny than people generally realize. She seems to be in everything better suited to the role than either of the actresses from the newer movies. I don't think her looks were exactly suitable... but give me her over Billie Piper any day.
Oh, I do wish they'd filmed it!
Now I'm rather in a mood to read the book again. I intend to sometime soon-ish, anyways... which, knowing me, should probably indicate sometime by the end of the summer. :P
I saw a review of it here, in case anyone's interested. Oh, and this one is good and much more informative without being annoyingly professional. (I tend to prefer the personal reviews, heehee.)
So what do you all think? :) I'm really glad someone decided to do this play... Mansfield Park definitely deserves more attention! BBC needs to follow suit!

Don't jump the gun when it comes to planting spring flowering bulbs this fall. Spring bulbs are best planted once soil temperatures cool to about 55 degrees, so wait until we have had at least two weeks of sweater weather.
If it is too cool outside without a jacket then it's just right for planting bulbs.
So, what do our spring and summer bulbs need in a year's worth of growth and care?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), American Lung Association, and other partners are announcing a strategy for preventing 3,200 lung cancer deaths annually by 2020 through radon exposure reduction strategies. Exposure to radioactive radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America. The goal to save these lives will be achieved by reducing high radon levels in five million homes, apartments, schools and childcare centers.

Leaf raking is an autumn chore that only children enjoy because they get to undo it in one fell swoop.
We rake and pile and they jump. I propose a new approach that just may make us all happy: adults can still rake a little, children can still play and trees will benefit from some mulch and fertilizer.
At the farm, raking leaves is passé; we let them stay where they fall (with reason, of course) which is usually beneath their canopy.

Iron on Transfers for inkjet printers are the simplest of transfer methods I have tried.
They are easy to buy, reasonably cheap, always work and the reproduction is excellent. The image can be transferred to any fabric, paper and even polymerclay.
The basic printing procedure is the same for all materials. They come in a pack of 15-20 A4 sheets.
To make use of the whole sheet you will plan all your images in a image software programme, resizing and cropping the pics how you want. You can keep them close together. Type will need to be reversed, I usually compose the whole page then flip it horizontally so images come out as the original. Print using the photo quality setting, and the printable side up.
Applying the image to fabric
Cut out your transfer and apply to an ironed piece of fabric, cover with baking parchment (non stick paper) or thin cotton, using a the iron on hottest setting with no steam. (All packets come with complete instructions.) Appling even firm pressure is important for the transfer to fuse into the fabric. Cool a bit then peel off backing paper. For the journal cover I tea/coffee stained some fine white cotton to give an older faded look. Coloured fabric can be used and will affect the appearance of the picture as the whites are transparent. Different types of fabric will give interesting results, ie satin will give you an iamge that is smooth and shiny. Practise and experiment before you start a project.
Applying the image to clay
Roll your clay through the pasta machine or roll out to 1/8 inch. Place on wax paper if you have it, this will allow you to remove the clay to a baking surface. Lay the cut transfer on top of clay, image face down, and trim clay. Lightly burnish the transfer onto clay to create a good bond and eliminate air bubbles. Flip over on to baking surface --this can be a piece of glass or a tile. I find it best to have the clay on top as air bubbles rise, also I place glass sheet or a tile on top of the clay to keep it flat. Bake for 15 mins following manufactures recommended heat setting. The paper will come away easily when cooled slightly.
If you plan to incorporate this piece within say a frame, its best not to refire it, so you will make your frame with the image in place. Dust the bottom with corn flour to prevent sticking and easy removal. Create your frame then remove the transferred clay piece without distorting the frame if possible. When the frame has been fired you can then glue and insert your image back again. A coating of Diamond Glaze will give a shiny finish to the image transfer, but is not essential
Applying the image to paper /canvas
I have tried the transfer onto canvas paper. Because of the texture, the image tended to break up slightly, although this might be what you want. Transferring on to paper that has been stamped, painted, or type book pages and patterns, can give a different layered look

Members of New Skinhead Gang Accused in Two States
Die Auserwählten, a little-known racist skinhead gang in Nebraska and several other states, is less than a year old. But in the last few days, the crew has been making a name for itself – in mayhem and murder separated by more than a thousand miles.
In a small college city in south-central Nebraska, the gang's 28-year-old founder, Jonathan Schmidt, faces up to 50 years in prison if convicted of a brutal assault Saturday night.
But that's nothing compared to what another suspected member of the gang, Jeremy Lee Moody, 30, and his wife, Christine, 36, are accused of doing Sunday afternoon about 1,200 miles away in Union County, S.C. According to local news reports, the Moodys were each charged yesterday with two counts of murder in the slaying of Charles Marvin Parker, 59, and Gretchen Dawn Parker, 51.
Charles Parker was a registered sex offender and that is why he was shot to death in his home, Union County Sheriff David H. Taylor told Hatewatch today. "Moody told us he targeted this individual because he was a child molester," Taylor said. "I was there when he made that statement."
As for Parker's wife, Taylor said Moody told him, "She was a casualty of war."
Moody has the word "skinhead" tattooed across his throat and "white power" atop his shaved head. In addition, Sheriff Taylor said, Moody has "88" – the numerical symbol for Heil Hitler – tattooed on one hand and on the other a tattoo of the number 14 for the white nationalist creed of known as "The 14 Words."
Taylor said Moody admitted to being "a white supremacist but didn't say which group he was affiliated with."
But shortly after Moody's arrest, Schmidt, the founder of Die Auserwählten, which is also known as Crew 41, posted this note on his Facebook page: "Though I can't blame them for their actions this in no way was ordered."
On Facebook, Moody calls himself Jeremy Mengele after the notorious Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who performed barbaric experiments on twins and other children at Auschwitz. Featured prominently on Moody's page is a picture of a warrior's mask with horns, lightning bolts like those used by the SS, and the number 41. Forty-one is the numerical symbol for Die Auserwählten.
Little is known about the origins of the crew or its size. Its German name translates, more or less, as "the chosen" or "the favored few." On its Facebook page, it claims to have seven chapters, including ones in Nebraska, Utah and South Carolina. The founder, Jonathan Schmidt, whose face is a mask of tattoos displaying his hate and his sorrow, lives in Pleasanton, a small town in south-central Nebraska.
On Saturday night, he and a friend were in nearby Kearney, where a campus of the University of Nebraska is located. Saturday was Kearney's annual Cruise Nite, an all day parade, party and celebration of old cars. "People come from all over," said Kearney Police Capt. Mike Kirkwood. It goes from morning to five in the afternoon, when the parade turns into a blocks-long party near the college campus with plenty of drinking. "It's a real pain in the rear for us," Kirkwood said. "But it looks like a blast for them."
Schmidt and his friend are accused of yanking a 27-year-old man out of a car and stomping and kicking him in the head, leaving him a mangled mass in the street. The local paper, the Kearney Hub, said the man's skull was fractured but he will survive.
The paper said the victim was transported to a local hospital where he identified Schmidt in a photo lineup.
Schmidt has an exceedingly distinctive facial appearance. His face is covered in tattoos, including "5150," police code for someone involuntarily committed to a mental institution, "FYL" for "fuck your life," "RIP Donny Boi," a tribute to a skinhead tattoo artist killed by California police during a shootout earlier in July, and runes, or medieval Germanic letters, on his left eyebrow that spell out "Hate."
Schmidt was released on bond Tuesday. On his Facebook page, Schmidt said he is innocent of the charges and that "the mother fucker who was supposed to turn himself in and clear my name has backed out because of his old lady running her fat ass mouth…Not too sure what plan b is but they better fix this shit before it gets any more outta hand."
Capt. Kirkwood of the Kearney police said Crew 41 is "completely new to us."
"Years ago, in the early '80s, we had some Posse Comitatus and sovereign citizen activity, but nothing too serious," he said. "I think these guys are just trying to get people riled up."
Sheriff Taylor, in South Carolina, said his deputies have been monitoring Moody for years. "We thought he was in the drug business," Taylor said. "But we never had much trouble out of him until now."
They tried to follow Moody's social media trail, but Moody kept changing his page or was getting deleted by Facebook, which Moody complained about recently on his page when he wrote, "Getting banned every 2 weeks gets old."
Taylor said the Moodys were caught on the Parker's security camera parking in front of their home Sunday afternoon. Moody lifted up the hood of his car, pretending he needed service. Parker, Taylor said, "was a shade-tree mechanic," meaning he did auto repair under the trees near his home.
Taylor said the Moodys then go into the home and come out a short time later.
There was a sign in the Parkers' yard. It said, "Smile you're on camera."

"The best work by anyone on prostitution ever, Rachel Moran's Paid For fuses the memoirist's lived poignancy with the philosopher's conceptual sophistication. The result is riveting, compelling, incontestable. Impossible to put down. This book provides all anyone needs to know about the reality of prostitution in moving, insightful prose that engages and disposes of every argument ever raised in its favor." --Catharine A. MacKinnon, law professor, University of Michigan and Harvard University
Born into a troubled family, Rachel Moran left home at the age of fourteen. Being homeless, she was driven into prostitution to survive. With intelligence and empathy, she describes the exploitation she and others endured on the streets and in the brothels. Moran also speaks to the psychological damage inherent to prostitution and the inevitable estrangement from one's body. At twenty-two, Moran escaped the sex trade. She has since become a writer and an abolitionist activist.
About the Author
Rachel Moran grew up in North Dublin city. From a troubled family background, she was fourteen when she was taken into state care. She became homeless and got involved in prostitution at aged fifteen, working in Dublin and other Irish cities for the following seven years. In 1998 at the age of 22, she liberated herself from that life. At 24 she got on the path to further education, gaining a degree in journalism from Dublin City University, where she won the Hybrid Award for excellence in journalism. She speaks internationally on prostitution and sex-trafficking and volunteers to talk to young girls in residential care about the harms and dangers of prostitution. She lives in North Dublin.

This was a surprising and annoying error we experienced on Microsoft Azure when our web app was calling a WCF web service but it was only happening randomly.
Fortunately, I knew certain things worked which made it easier to narrow-down the problem.
I knew the web service worked, I knew I could connect to it with a valid SSL certificate chain, the only variable was that I was using Azure Traffic Manager to balance load between Japan and Ireland. Normally, the web apps in their respective areas would get sent to their local web service but in the unlikely event an entire web service dies, Traffic Manager could send the request to the other data centre.
Every now and then, I would see the following error:
The underlying issue is that when you make an SSL connection to a load balancer, the load balancer terminates the SSL (usually) so that if your request gets sent to a different web server, your connection stays up OK.
HOWEVER, if your request gets sent to another load-balancer, which would happen if Traffic Manager decided your previous one was unavailable, then the SSL connection cannot be resumed on the new load-balancer and you get the error above which, as often, contains a misleading message.
You wouldn't notice this effect in a browser since browser will automatically retry the connection if it drops, in which case they would reestablish the connection to the new load balancer and carry on. The call from the web app to the web service uses SvcUtil.exe to create a proxy class and this doesn't have any built-in functionality for reestablishing dropped SSL connections, it will instead throw the Exception and fail.
There is a project that provides some error handling for web service clients provided here, which I haven't tried but which looks like it might get around the problem.
I have worked around the problem by disabling Traffic Manager for the app to web service call so it is always local, which opens up a small risk if one web service died, but it should be OK for now.

Elizabeth and Fear both sense that the key to her past is hidden in the dream paintings she hides in the family barn. But a shadowy menace has begun to stalk her, and try as she might, Elizabeth can barely avoid the brutality of her life long enough to uncover the truth about herself. When it matters most, will she be able to rely on Fear to save her?
First of all, let me just say that I love this cover, it's a bit creepy but definitely eye-catching and cool. And secondly, I fell in love with the concept on which this book was built on, the premise wasn't at all tempting but then, it turned out to be nothing but unique and incredible, plus, it was overflowing with Emotions.
Overall, Some Quiet Place left an impact on me and I have thoroughly enjoyed it that I had a hard time putting it down. The characters' feelings - especially Elizabeth's - was beautifully portraited. The plot was extermely well-thought and it wasn't a concept that would stumble across everyday and that I cherished. With this being said, I can only say that I do HIGHLY recommend reading this book!
