This guide explores how to comprehend the way that your website's traffic varies more than time, and how to use this details to better realize your website's users. Facebook is one particular of the most popular places to run campaigns. On August 7, 2014, Facebook announced that it no longer allows like-gating. This change upset a lot of marketers since like-gating has been a widespread practice for several years and it's helped a lot of companies grow their fan count rapidly and consistently.Make slideshows. Web sites such as Kizoa and PhotoSnack let you upload images and then decide on from different themes and types to generate your slideshow. The web site will also give you an HTML code that you can post within the HTML of your blog where you want the slideshow to be displayed.Individuals whose pictures have been taken by Instagram users danger obtaining their image published without having their information. If you have just developed your website, the chances of getting quick and organic hyperlinks are almost zero. It's one or the other.I did not write them just to get a backlink, but to get both the rewards of targeted traffic and Search engine optimization. Even if these links had been nofollow, I would have gained hundreds of visits per month. Holly Becker, an American interiors blogger living in Germany, has a lot more than 1,000 pages showcasing the interiors of super duper stylists".

DeNiro at Midsouth HT October 2008 before meeting Lisa Gaylord and before having bodywork. The overall impression here is that he looks good. When I first saw this picture in 2008, I thought it was the best picture in the world of my DeNiro. And, sure, it is not a bad picture, but when I really pick it apart, I find the stuck points that caused all of our struggles. Especially when compared to the picture to the right, DeNiro looks like his body wants to go in multiple directions because different parts of his body are being pulled in opposite ways. His hind end is propelling him forward but his pelvis and stifle rotation is limited so he cannot have his maximum reach underneath himself. His back is held tightly, and I am sitting like I cannot relax into it because it can't relax into my seat. His withers and sternum are jutted forward and downward causing his neck to come up and suck back toward me, hence the loop in my reins from his inabiity to lift his withers and sternum, elongate the top of his neck and move down and out into the rein contact. Because he could not push evenly through his body from the tip of his tail to the tip of his nose, his head is too far to the left creating false bend or "neck bend", set there from the withers and sternum being stuck.
Here is DeNiro at FENCE HT in April of 2010. He had been worked on by Lisa Gaylord all of 2009 before we moved to Aiken in December. Here we can see a longer push from his hind end, a raised sternum and withers allowing him to bend through the base of his neck and withers, and an elongated neck into the contact. This means the joints of his spine from tail to nose are softer, more flexible, more hydrated, and able to perform as efficiently as possible to minimize stress on the body through compensation. The overall impression compared to the picture on the left is that of fluidity. He looks as if he could bound across the ground remaining forward, straight, and supple. I am sitting into him relaxed and moving with him (although my arms should be softer). We are an elastic connection moving in harmony. DeNiro won the dressage at this show for a reason.
This is Monk in March 2011 before any bodywork. Again, this appears to be a nice photo. But when you look closely at the horse's body you can see the resistance in his spine from how he is holding his back and neck so tightly. Here, his withers and sternum are jutted forward and downward. The area above the stifle is flat until you get to the sole bulging muscle telling us that he cannot take a straight step off the ground without twisting his left hind foot outward and overusing that bulging muscle. To allow his neck to elongate outward and downward from his withers and the base of his neck, his pelvis needs to lower by lifting his withers and allowing his neck to come longer, as if in a long-and-low frame until the horse can find that supple place on his own.
This is Monk in May 2011 after just two sessions. I had been riding him for 3 weeks prior to this show. You can see the difference in carriage of the horse compared to the picture on the left. Now his energy is more underneath himself instead of it running out in front of him. You could ask him to halt, and he would not "run out the front door" for even a moment. There is an athletic, supple, confident look to him now that the joints in his spine are more mobile and loose. As he finds strength in this balance, his pelvis will lower and lift his front end off the ground effortlessly. His muscles above his stifle are filled out and that one sole bulging muscle from the previous picture is soft and working in unison with the others. I love these pictures for comparing the stifle area. You can really see the twist in his left hind in the picture to the left, and you can really see how it has filled out to allow a straight purchase off the ground in the above picture.
Comic Expression
Here is Norman at Sporting Days in March 2010. This is prior to his summer sessions of bodywork with Lisa Gaylord. My horses and I were only home for 2 months over the summer of 2010 so I had Norman worked on multiple times in that short period. This is a very impressive picture at first glance. He looks quite scopey and appears to have very good form. However, this is a very misleading picture. For starters, the biggest issue glaring at me is how his hindend is trailing out behind him, and he is just about catapulting himself over the fence. His pelvis is not flexed downward at all, and he is holding his lower back and hindend very tightly over this fence, which is why he looks so impressive up front because all of the work is being done by pulling himself over the fence rather than pushing over the fence. This is going to lead to knocking rails with the stiff, trailing hindend. This is why he is overjumping this fence so majorly because he is a careful horse by nature, and he does not want to hit the rail with his stuck hindend so he found a way to get the job done without hitting it. He is using his neck excessively (because he has to in order to make it over), and it is tense and stiff as a result.
This is Norman at Full Gallop HT in March 2011. Wow, look at the difference in his form! He is making a soft, upside-down "U" shape with his body now that he is comfortable in his hindend and able to use it! His neck is much rounder and softer. He is not overjumping the fence. In comparison with the picture to the left, his balance has shifted back to his hindend to push from it to get over instead of pulling himself over. This is a great comparison to train our eye to what is really going on in photos of our horses!

Six years ago, on a November day not so different from today, I sat shivering on a park bench in Minneapolis waiting to have a miscarriage.
I knew the miscarriage was coming because a nearly three weeks earlier, I'd had an ultrasound and the technician hadn't been able to find my baby's heartbeat. Actually, there was no baby. There was nothing except for an empty sac residing in my uterus. What was supposed to be a happy day turned into one of the worst days of my life.
I was supposed to be about seven weeks pregnant.
Instead, I was in limbo. My body thought it was pregnant but it wasn't. Well, it sort of was but it also wasn't. This being and not being pregnant was almost impossible for both my body and my mind to comprehend.
I was given three choices: take medication to try to get my body to expel the pregnancy, have a d and c, or wait and see if it came out on its own. The other two choices scared me too much, so I chose the last one. I chose to wait.
Also, I was in denial. I thought somehow my pregnancy would end up being okay. Maybe there had been some mistake.
Nine weeks earlier, I had become pregnant right after my husband and I got married. It was awesome. We were so in love and then we found out I was pregnant and everything seemed beyond perfect. We were so excited. We never figured that anything could go wrong. But then, we went to that ultrasound and all those dreams were just shattered.
Everything about me felt completely shattered.
Instead of trying to continue with our regular lives of college and work, we decided to leave town. We packed up my car and drove to Minnesota. We both had family there and friends. We just needed to get away from everything. I couldn't imagine being around our house, going through the motions of day to day life and just waiting waiting waiting for this terrible thing to happen. I decided a long road trip would be better. We would get away and get our minds off of this terrible inevitable thing.
Now it had been over two weeks since I got the bad news. It was my birthday, November 1st. I was just leaving a grocery store when my phone rang but it wasn't anyone to wish me a happy birthday. It was one of the midwives from the hospital. I sat down on a park bench to take the call.
The midwife wanted to know if I'd made any progress yet. I hadn't.
I was still holding out hope that the ultrasound was just a really big mistake. Maybe the date I got pregnant was just extremely off. Maybe they had missed something. Maybe…
"No," she said, "I don't think so. You know, a few decades ago, we didn't even have these early pregnancy tests. If this were happening back then, you would be just wondering now if you were missing another period and if you might be pregnant. Then soon you would have gotten a heavy period and you just would never have known."
Traffic rushed past the park bench where I was sitting. I clutched my phone and tried not to cry. I wanted to throw my cell phone into the passing cars. This was one of the most heartless things that the midwife could have said. My feelings don't matter because thirty years ago, I wouldn't have known this was happening to me? Thanks, but I did know and my feelings were valid.
Six years, two children (and another miscarriage) later, it still hurts.
I was nine weeks pregnant or not pregnant but it was 'something'. I was nine weeks 'something'. And it was real and it did matter.
I hung up the phone promising to call back in a few days to have another awesome conversation and hopefully to speak with a different midwife in the practice.
A few hours later, on the afternoon of my twenty-seventh birthday, I started cramping. I waited all day, but not much happened. The next day, November 2nd, it more of the same. Then the cramping started to intensify. I took some strong painkillers and a few hours later, the pregnancy passed.
The friends who we were staying with had no idea that I was having a miscarriage. If they were paying attention, they might have noticed that at one point, I went into the bathroom for a long time. For some reason it was easier for me this way. I only wanted to tell a few people. I'm a private person. I mean, I guess I'm not so private anymore, not when I'm writing this story for the world to see.
In the last few years, people have started being a lot more open about miscarriages. But six years ago, when I was going through this, I only knew of one person who had experienced a miscarriage. It seemed so strange. Now, I know that I actually knew a lot more people who had gone through it but they just didn't talk about it either. And I understand their silence because at that time, I didn't want to share my pain with anyone.
Flash forward one year:
Exactly one year after my first miscarriage, I gave birth to my first baby, a boy who is turning five on November 2nd. It's the same day that marks my first miscarriage but it's also my son's birthday now.
Sometimes, I think, 'Wow, what a coincidence!' Isn't it strange and amazing I had my baby on exactly the same day that I lost my first pregnancy! But then I think, 'No, it is too much of a coincidence. It has to be more than that.' But I don't pretend to understand what the 'more' is. I just know that it's there.
Having a miscarriage changed me. It changed my attitude toward pregnancy. It changed who I am as a mother. In a lot of ways it made me more worried and anxious. I will never look on a positive pregnancy test with the same blind enthusiasm and joy that I felt when I took that first test a few weeks after my wedding. Both of my pregnancies were blighted with fear and uneasiness about the health of my unborn child.
But more than anything having a miscarriage made me appreciate things more. It made me appreciate my son because to me he was and still is a miracle. Every year now, on November 2nd, I remember two Novembers. The miraculous November of my son's birth and that other November, the shadowy one of 'something'. They are both always with me and they both matter.

Speaking of videoing stuff, little late perhaps btw but i saw some fanshot footage of your show at graspop earlier this summer and i saw a pro camera guy hovering around the stage but no 'official' graspop footage of your show to be found. You know anything about that?

The Syndrome Diaries
The first draft of The Syndrome Diaries was written for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in November, 2010. Since then, I have been redrafting the manuscript, which is now close to being complete and will be published as an e-book in October 2012.
The novel is narrated by Becky and tells the story of her, India and India's cousin, Ben, who form a tight-knit friendship at university. When Becky cheats on Ben, word gets back to India and, through her, to him. In the ensuing argument, India breaks off her friendship with Becky, dropping out of university to focus on her band, Syndrome.
The book opens 20 years later. Becky hasn't seen Ben or India in that time. She's become a successful music journalist while India, through Syndrome and a subsequent solo career, is now an internationally famous musician. Out of the blue, India offers Becky an exclusive interview. In the passage below, which is a little way into the novel, they meet for the first time since their argument.
Extract from Chapter 5
I popped my digital recorder on the table and pulled my phone from my bag to go through emails, wondering how long I'd be waiting for India. The record company had allocated us a small, soulless meeting room off the main corridor. Its pale mushroom walls were punctuated with tour posters in cold, steel frames. The settees were awkwardly low, with deep, black leather cushions that seemed to suck me down further, so that I'd struggle to get to my feet when India came in. I suspected I'd look like Alice in Wonderland after she'd followed the instructions to 'drink me', and I didn't like the way that would give India a psychological advantage, so I perched on an arm instead. I tried to settle down and make a valiant attempt at composure.
She was only five minutes late. I'd barely opened the first email when there she was, standing in the doorway, head tilted to one side. She was still a skinny five foot four, but even from across the room she seemed to fill the place. She'd scraped her hair back in a ponytail, with wisps escaping around her neck, and her face looked fuller than in the photos on the website, healthier and prettier. All she had to do was stand there and I felt like I used to when we were at Leeds together: I was the dull, lumpen one, standing in her shadow while she shone, centre-stage.
She turned to someone behind her. "I'll be fine. You don't need to be here for this one." So there'd be no press officer butting in and rejecting my questions. That was probably good. Shutting the door a little too firmly behind her, she walked over towards me, and I stood up, extending a hand. She burst out laughing – the same guffaw that used to resonate through that little terraced student house – and it was as if everything was forgotten.
"Shaking hands? For God's sake, Becky! Give me a hug."
So I did, awkwardly. She smelt of expensive soap and cigarette smoke. As she stood back and looked at me, I saw, close up, that her skin wasn't quite so perfect and the corners of her eyes were fanned with creases. She was fiddling with a strand of hair that was refusing to stay tucked behind her ear.
She must have been comparing too. "Well," she said. "You've certainly worn better than I have."
"I've had an easy life." I couldn't stop staring at her.
"It's all relative. Swings and roundabouts." She walked around the coffee table and sat back in the far settee, somehow managing to occupy only the corner but to fill the whole seat. She looked a lot more relaxed than I felt.
"So." I sat down on the nearer settee, which made a noise like an almost-deflated whoopee cushion, and tried to look composed. "How have you been?"
She didn't answer immediately, just frowned slightly and raised one eyebrow. God, that used to frustrate me so much! I'd sit in front of the mirror in my room at Leeds, trying desperately to work out how to isolate half my forehead, never being able to manage anything other than a pervy half-wink. It must be a recessive gene, like tongue-rolling but so much more useful.
"Aren't you going to switch your widget on?" She gestured towards the digital recorder, sitting on the coffee table with a blank display.
"Is that OK?"
I tapped a couple of buttons. "It's running."
"I bet you're wondering why I wanted to do this interview with you," she said.
"Well… Are you sure you want the widget on?"
"Yes." She was sitting completely still, apart form a tiny hand movement, twisting a small, silver ring around and around on her finger.
"So. Why did you?" I shifted on my seat, trying to get comfortable, but found the only way to sit forward was to perch on a hard ridge running along the front of it. I'd end up with pins and needles if I sat like that, so I shuffled back again.
"Well, you have a nice writing style." She paused a moment and laughed, and I realised she was winding me up.
"That's not it, is it?"
"Not entirely, but we'll get onto that later. Right now, I think we should talk about my new album. And you might like to ask me whether I'm clean, and who I'm shagging. I bet that's on your list."
"Well, I haven't listened to the album much yet – I only got hold of a copy yesterday – but it seems to owe much more to Syndrome than your first solo work did."
"Do you think so?" She leaned forwards slightly, clearly pleased to be talking about the music rather than her personal life.
"Don't you?" I asked.
She stopped twiddling the silver ring for a moment, and rested a hand on the cushion beside her, stroking it gently. "So you bat the question back to me. Fifteen love. I guess that's how you get all those great quotes, isn't it?" But it worked, and she carried on talking.
"Well, it's six, seven years since Syndrome folded, and once you get a bit of distance, you don't try so hard to avoid it, I guess. It opens a lot of doors for me. I get enough in royalties off the back catalogue, so I don't have any pressure to get out and tour all the time." She began twisting the ring around her finger again. "Sure, it was crap towards the end, when Ethan and I split up and we were still trying to keep the band going, but by that time I think the others were ready to call it a day anyway. It's not that big a deal." She stopped. "So who was the last person you interviewed?"
"People," I said. "WLRM."
"The boyband? Oh, Jesus! Bet I'm a dark chocolate Magnum in the bath compared with them."
"I'm hoping that'll be the case," I said, trying to wrest back control. "So is it easier to put together an album when you're not trying to get away from the Syndrome legacy?"
She tried again to push the stray wisp of hair behind her ear. "How much info did you get about the album?" she asked, as if I was guilty of not doing my research, rather than acknowledging that I'd managed to deduce quite a bit from what little I'd had access to.
"Just a few extracts, until yesterday. And what I could find on your website, which wasn't much."
"It's not, is it? I've been working with Rosie on some of the songs."
"Steve Rosenbaum? So it was him I saw in the studio pictures."
"I'm not sleeping with him, by the way. He's just a friend."
"I thought he was gay."
"Yep. He most certainly is. You haven't asked me who I am sleeping with yet."
"Do you want me to?"
She tried to sound blasé. "Not really bothered. But most journalists want to know about my sex life before they get to the music. If they get to the music."
"Male journalists, maybe, writing for a male audience."
"The last female journalist who interviewed me only wanted to know about my shoe collection. As if, because I'm female and get styled now and again, I've got a clue about footwear. Do I look like I care?" Her feet were actually bare; she'd kicked off some fairly generic-looking black plimsolls before she'd sat down. She nodded towards them. "Mum got me those in Tesco."
God, this was weird! It was as if the argument were yesterday and we doing life as normal, dismissing falling out with each other as a silly little spat, except it was twenty years later and we'd become middle-aged. But India was still, well, India: sharp, pushing for autonomy, her face flowing through a myriad of expressions as she spoke.
"Well, I know even less about shoes than you do," I said.
And she laughed again. "You always were the music nerd, weren't you? Who cares who she's sleeping with? Let's nail down the inspiration behind that B minor seventh, it's so much more important."
"You're not sleeping with anyone, are you?"
She frowned. "How do you know?"
"You're fidgeting. You always used to fidget more when you were single."
She buried her face in her hands, groaning. "Oh bugger, is it that obvious?"
"It is to me. It's been a long time, but I'm not sure any of us change as much as we think. So now we've got that out the way, let's talk about your album."
She took her hands away from her face, and looked at me, smiling. "You're determined to do a professional job on this, aren't you?"
"You can talk about shoes if you like. Or sex. Up to you."
"OK, OK! I'll behave." She put her hands up in mock surrender and rearranged her legs on the settee. "Well, I wrote some of this album with Rosie, so that's probably why it sounds like Syndrome."
"And you wrote the last album alone?"
"Yes, but the last album was so close to all the mess with the band that I made a conscious effort to move away from it, to do something completely unconnected and new."
"Which was the hardest to put together?" I was curious, and she seemed to want to talk music, now that the clichés of the female rock artiste interview had been dealt with.
"Oh, the first one. It felt more forced. Sometimes you need to face your issues and make friends with them." She groaned again. "God, listen to me! You can tell I've lived in LA, can't you?"
"So you're happier now than when you made the first album?"
She thought for a moment, biting her lip, then smiled. "Apart from needing a good seeing to?"
I didn't answer. I wasn't going back down that route, so I sat, waiting for her to continue, and eventually she spoke.
"Well, I'm in England permanently now. I'm spending lots of time hanging out at my parents', seeing family." And she stopped and looked at me, challenging, penetrating my thoughts. "Aren't you going to ask how my family are?"
I knew exactly what she was getting at, and I wasn't going to rise to it. "It wasn't really part of my interview plan," I said. "Are they still in Aldeburgh?"
"My parents are. Same house. So it's relaxing, and homely – well, it would be, wouldn't it?"
I nodded.
"But it's a honeypot for artists and musicians – not that I fit into that, really; it's all arty-farty stuff, Britten and Pears, but I feel creative when I'm there. It's all contradictions, with this dark, brooding sea and the nuclear power station down the coast. I like that. It's us against nature, isn't it?"
I remembered it quite well. I'd been to stay at her house once in the holidays. It was a sprawling, Victorian pile close to the seafront, full of dark, antique furniture, elegantly carved and inlaid. Her family were obviously very comfortably off. I could recall being awkwardly aware of the subtleties of the British class system, and wondering how we both fitted into the middle bracket.
"And there's this big unspoilt thing going on," she continued. "You know, streets that have hardly changed in seventy years, but all these little hints of pretentiousness to keep the London crowd happy. It's full of people wanting to get away from it all but still needing soya lattes." She stopped.
"Go on," I said.
"That's not really what you want to know about my family, is it?"
"Isn't it?"
"He's happily married, their son's two, another baby on the way."
"Sorry?" But I knew exactly who she was talking about. So, that was that. The little flame of delusional hope in my heart was snuffed out.
"Ben," she said, and the final instalment of my comeuppance was delivered. "That's what you really wanted to know, wasn't it?"
"It was a long time ago."
"Admit it, you were curious."
There was nothing to lose anymore. "Maybe. I did wonder how he was. What's he doing? For work, I mean?" I hoped she hadn't noticed the wobble in my voice.
"He lives up in Manchester; he's a university lecturer. Academic musicology type stuff, specialises in popular music, writes pretentious twaddle about representations of postmodernism on the X-factor."
I laughed.
"No, Becky, that really is the title of one of his papers. Do you think I could make something like that up?"
The delusional flame began to flicker again, as I considered the potential for an article about Ben's theories. "We really ought to be talking about you," I said, as much to get myself back on track as to steer her topic of conversation.
She scowled. "I'm enjoying catching up with you. You still haven't told me very much."
"No, because I'm trying to interview you, remember?" I reached for a question that would restart the momentum in another direction. "Did you write the songs for the album while you were staying in Aldeburgh?"
"That row we had. When you slept with Marcus."
I shut my eyes.
"D'you know, Becky, if that hadn't happened, then I don't think Syndrome would have either."
"How do you mean?"
"Well, I'd have come back to university the next term and carried on as before, with the band as a hobby. That argument forced me to rethink, to drop out, and that made me determined things would happen with Syndrome. If I'd finished my degree, I'd have missed the window."
"But it wasn't the row that stopped you coming back to finish the course, was it? It was a good opportunity to take a year out. Because of where you were with your music."
"And because of my crap marks? No, it was the row that triggered it all. I felt awful about it. I couldn't come back and grovel to move back in; I'd pushed it way too far for that."
"Why did you feel awful? It was my fault."
"I overreacted."
"I'm not sure you did. I was completely out of order."
"Becky, I'm so sorry about what happened. There have been loads of times when I've needed someone to ground me, and there's not really been anyone who understood me the way you did. But we had to fall out for me to make Syndrome work. It would have been so much better if I'd had both." And for the first time that I could remember, she looked genuinely vulnerable.
"Is that why you wanted me to do the interview?"
"It's time we were mates again. Life's too short."

No More Sea
'And there was no more sea'
Revelation Chapter 21 Verse 1
Here is something with which we are all familiar. We are all acquainted with the sea. Time was when many of our fathers depended on it for there livelihood. Some of them spent most of their lives upon it. Some who knew they had to face it were glad to turn their backs upon it: others, although they liked it, yet feared it. Many of their joys and sorrows were connected with it. In God's Word the sea is typical of trouble, trials and death itself.
Let us consider the sea as typical of :
1 Unrest
2 Separation
3 Death
1 The sea as typical of unrest
The sea is one of God's greatest wonders. David says in Psalm 95, 'The sea is his, and he made it.' It covers the great deep; it surrounds the world. Sometimes it is calm and beautiful and a pleasure to the eye to behold; at times its angry waves roar and break in pieces mighty ships, mercilessly drowning men. The sae typifies our life. Our lives are full of unrest. The world at the present time is like a stormy sea and the state of the world is a revelation of what our hearts are. The human heart craves and strives for satisfaction. Man designs one invention after another to satisfy this craving, and one source of pleasure after another fails to meet his need. We cannot find rest; we cannot find happiness in the things of the world.
There is soul satisfaction only n Christ. 'Thou madest us for Thyself and our hearts are not at rest until they repose in Thee' (Augustine). This is true of all men. Even in our most favourable circumstances there is some element that disturbs. Sometimes contrary winds blow and our hearts are heavy and full of care. And the cause of it all is sin which has alienated us from God. We refused to obey Him and wilfully chose to join His enemies. And men 'will not come to Him that they may have life.' So there is no rest for the wicked here or hereafter.
But how different is the case of those who come to Christ and enter into a saving relationship with Him. In this world they have rest of soul in Him in the very midst of their troubles. And in heaven for them all will be changed. 'There will be no more sea,' They will no more 'reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man' (Psalm 107:27) because of the wrath of the enemy. No more will they be weighed down with the care of their own soul and the souls of others. The adverse winds will blow no more. The storms will be over forever. They shall have eternal satisfaction and perfect rest. 'There shall be no more sea.'
2 The sea as typical of separation
As we know in our own history the sea often separates us from our nearest and dearest. In pursuit of their lawful calling husband is separated from wife, parents from children, brother from sister. By the angry sea of persecution John, in the Isle of Patmos, was separated from the believers and from his friends. And the sea is typical of the distance between us and God. 'Your iniquities have separated between you and your God' (Isaiah 59:2). Yet the Bible proves that this distance can be removed. 'Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow' (Isaiah 1:18). By Christ's blood those who were afar off are brought nigh and 'He is our peace who hath made both one' (Ephesians 2:14).
In heaven there shall be no separation for 'there shall be no more sae,' and 'God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes' (Revelation 21:4). Some who were with us here lately and whose body was like the 'bruised reed' are now happy forever. For them 'there shall be no more sea.' They can sing:
I leave behind temptation
Danger, too, of land and sea
Weakness, guilt and all corruption
Mourning, gloom and fear doth flee.
They are no more with us in the means of grace in which their hearts were because Christ was there. For now Christ Himself is their 'all in all.' For them, with Mary and Martha, we prayed, 'He whom thou lovest is sick.' With them, when dear ones were taken, we said, 'If thou hadst been here…' But it was God's will and we have to say, 'He hath done all things well.' He will come, as after Lazarus's death, and raise others from the grave spiritually. But for them, 'There is no more sea.'
3 The sea as typical of death
Many a stormy sea we pass through here. That is all in accordance with His will. But this 'sea' is before you and me. We may be near it or far from it but we must enter this Jordan, and we say with another:
I am on the brink of Jordan
Backward shrinks this mortal frame;
Well't were for me to have the
Hope that ne'er shall put to shame.
And for some the waters are parted as the Red Sea was for Israel. Those in Christ shall pass over into the Promised Land above. 'With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the King's palace' (Psalm 45:15). Death will be behind them forever.
A good woman in Sutherland, whose husband and two sons the sea had claimed, longed to be away. And when asked for the reason she replied, 'There shall be no more sea.' Sinner, what will you do? No one is to stay here. Pray now that He will prepare you. It is here men prepare. 'Time is short.' He waits to be merciful to you. He came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.

Peter Hall: Judi Dench and Stephen Fry remember theatre legend at star-studded memorial
Peter Hall: Judi Dench and Stephen Fry remember theatre legend at memorial
PETER HALL was remembered by a host of celebrities including Dame Judi Dench and Stephen Fry today following the theatre star's death in September last year.
Sir Peter Hall died aged 87 on September 11, 2017 – one years ago today - with his family by his side at the University College Hospital in London.
A host of celebrities flocked to Westminster Abbey to pay their respects to the late star a year on.
Dame Judi, 83, was joined by Sir Ian McKellen, Vanessa Redgrave, author Melvyn Bragg, Dame Penelope Keith and Kim Cattrall.
The actress was captured wearing smart black trousers and a jacket with a blue patterned scarf.
Felicity Kendal, Twiggy, Playwright Tom Stoppard, Kenneth Branagh and director Sir Trevor Nunn were also attendees.
Sex And The City star Kim, 62, sported a black dress which featured lace detail and she also wore matching heels.
Dame Judi was a part of a documentary titled Sir Peter Hall Remembered last year, which was dedicated to the theatre stalwart.
At the time many famous faces paid tribute to the star, who founded the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1960.
Sir Patrick Stewart wrote on Twitter: "The man who created The Royal Shakespeare Co, Sir Peter Hall, has died.
"He transformed classical and modern UK theatre and gave me a career."
Actor Toby Stephens penned: "So sad to hear of the death of Sir Peter Hall. He gave me my first break as an actor.
Peter Hall: Judi Dench paid her respects at the theatre legend's memoria
Peter Hall: Stephen Fry paid his respects a year on from the theatre legend's death
"A great Director and shaper of British Theatre."
National Theatre Director Rufus Norris said: "We all stand on the shoulders of giants and Peter Hall's shoulders supported the entirety of British theatre as we know it.
"All of us, including those in the new generation of theatre-makers not immediately touched by his influence, are in his debt.
"His legendary tenacity and vision created an extraordinary and lasting legacy for us all."
Sir Peter was widely known for being the director of the National Theatre for 15 years.
Peter Hall: Sir Patrick Stewart opted for a suit to remember the theatre legend
Peter Hall: Kim Cattrall also made an appearance at Westminster Abbey
During his years in charge, he oversaw the National's move to the South Bank and directed 33 productions.
He received multiple awards, including two Tonys for The Homecoming in 1967 and Amadeus in 1981.
Sir Peter was also awarded a knighthood in 1997 and a Laurence Olivier gong in 1999.
In 1988, he formed the Peter Hall Company, and became the founding director of the Rose Theatre Kingston in 2003.
In 2011, he was diagnosed with Dementia, the same year of his last production the Twelfth Night.
Sir Peter was married four times in his lifetime.
He is survived by his fourth wife Nicki and by children Christopher, Jennifer, Edward, Lucy, Rebecca and Emma.

Fiji April 29, 2013Posted by pschnaak in Travel Log.

After four weeks in Australia, the Pacific Program embarked on a journey to an unprecedented: FIJI!!
Our first destination in Fiji was The Hideaway Resort on the Coral Coast of Viti Levu. Boy, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. The Fijian people accept tourists with world renowned hospitality and accommodations, and as college students accustomed to youth hostels and dormitories, we were on top of the world living in sunny, picturesque beach-side resorts! Here are some of the scenes that were ordinary at Hideaway:
After our stay at Hideaway, the group headed off the "mainland" and into the Mamanuca Islands, an island chain that is the most popular destination for visitors to Fiji. The resort we stayed at, Mana Island Resort, was more isolated and "unconnected" (NO INTERNET!) than our previous stay. During our stay on Mana, I tried my best to get out and explore the amazing oceanic tropical landscapes.
After Mana Island, my fellow travelers and I were faced with an impending reality that none of us wanted to swallow: Our time exploring the Pacific was soon to come to an end. After Mana, we headed back into the "large city" of Nadi, staying at the Tanoa Skylodge. Though Nadi was not as "tourism-oriented" as the other resorts, our location was appropriate for the time of the semester we were about to encounter: FINALS. Undoubtedly, one of the greatest tragedies I will be able to claim in my life is that I spent a day IN FIJI studying for a college final!
Though my time in the Pacific has come to an all-too abrupt end, I can make the indisputable claim that I have had a fantastic life experience that will stay with me for as long as I live.
Brisbane and Heron Island April 29, 2013Posted by pschnaak in Travel Log.

As our six weeks in New Zealand came to an end, we were reminded (unpleasantly) of how quickly time was slipping by us this semester! Though the country, landscape, people, and culture of New Zealand were all magnificent, the time nevertheless came for us to depart and head to the next great unknown: Australia.
We spent our first two weeks in Brisbane, located in the state of Queensland. Brisbane, uncertainly, has had more beautiful fortnights than the one we spent there. It rained… every day. This was not a new occurrence, as flooding had been going on throughout Queensland for quite some time. Still, the location of Brisbane provided some unique hiking landscapes. While in Brisbane, the program took a trip to Lamington National Park, which is unique because of the diversity of biomes that are included in such a small range of land. Through a break in the rain (I'm telling you: it never ended), I managed to capture a snapshot of a waterfall in Lamington:
After Brisbane, we were all eager to head towards a more… accommodating climate. Sure enough, our next stop was sure to provide exactly what we needed. After an overnight bus trip north up the eastern coast of Queensland and a two-hour ferry ride, we arrived at the destination to which I had been looking forward the most: Heron Island. Located on the southern edge of the Great Barrier Reef, Heron Island is anything but developed. Our sleeping accommodations were with the Heron Island Research Station owned by the University of Queensland:
The island is also a temporary home for large migratory bird populations. A researcher from the station who was conducting research on one particular species allowed us to come around on her "rounds" with her… and here are the adorable chicks that we got to examine!!!!
Paradise doesn't really come close, and neither do these pictures…
The Routeburn Track April 29, 2013Posted by pschnaak in Travel Log.

During one of our final weekends stationed in Wellington, a large chunk of the Pacific Program flew south to Queenstown: the adventure sports capital of the world.. or so I'm told. Though the town's tourist season comes to a peak during the winter season, Queenstown was a more than entertaining and lively place to visit. We made sure to visit Ferg Buger and Ferg Baker– two of the most popular restaurants in Queenstown. The former boasts the claim of having the best burger in the Southern Hemisphere… We ate there twice 😀 !!
My stay in this alpine haven town did not last long, however, because the following morning some comrades and I piled into a van and began a most anticipated adventure: conquering the Routeburn Track—one of New Zealand's "Great Walks" and named one of the two "most beautiful walking areas in the world" by Sir Edmond Hillary.
Unsurprisingly, our three-day two-night trek through the Southern Alps did not disappoint.
The weekend was perhaps one of my most enjoyable memories of my trip Down Under. Walking through this undisturbed landscapes, marveling at the dramatic geology of the region and the beautifully pristine alpine lakes, I have vivid memories of moments in which I was purely taken aback by the sheer beauty that this land held.
As I mentioned early, Sir Edmond Hillary named two most beautiful walking areas in the world. The Routeburn was one; the other was another New Zealand walking track in Otago known as the Milford Track. I am now determined to return to New Zealand one day and complete the Milford Track. Undoubtedly, I won't be disappointed.
Topping Taranaki! February 1, 2013Posted by pschnaak in Travel Log.

One week ago (January 26), Kaitlin and I set out early on what was destined to be one of the most intense days of hiking we have ever done. From our campsite on the beautiful beaches of New Plymouth, we were driven south to the North Egmont Visitors' Centre. Our destination was kilometers in the sky– we were headed to the summit of Mount Taranaki. Equipped with liters upon liters of water and provisions to endure the worst case scenarios, we were on our way by 9:15AM.
These first few steps were, by far, the calmest section of the trail. It did not take long for the gradient to change.
We were, quite literally, in the clouds. As we rose in altitude, the trail became less and less friendly. Pretty soon, we were scrambling over rocks, falling up scoria fields, and tramping across fields of alpine snow.
We praised the heavens when steps were provided. Kaitlin still doesn't look that thankful, though, does she?
Finally, the wind and sun removed the shroud of cloudy unknown we had existed in for hours, leaving us with our formidable destination in clear view:
Our climb continued, and we finally reached the crater of Taranaki. It is covered by snow and ice year-round. From here, we were only a few minutes' dash from the tip-top!!!
After playing in the snow like the giddy Atlanta natives that we are, Kaitlin and I pulled up our boot-straps and began the final climb to the summit. Our views quickly solidified one conclusion in our minds: It was worth it!
Here is a great view of Taranaki, taken from a NASA satellite. We were on top of that!!!
Recapitulating the Indescribable January 20, 2013Posted by pschnaak in Travel Log.

Boy… I have let far too much time fly by without posting to this blog. The task of putting down into words (and pictures) all that I have experiencs thus far has only grown more daunting with each passing day. The time has come, however, for me to man up, sit down, and share with you all what I have been up to.
Let's begin at the beginning: On the evening of January 3, I departed from the US and headed across the Pacific. Completely disregarding the existence of January 4, my comrades and I arrived in Wellington (and after a quick connection via Auckland) on Saturday morning, January 5. This is Wellington:
Our route (Wellington -> Picton):
Once we arrived in Picton, we retrieved our rental car and headed straight through New Zealand's beautiful countryside to Abel Tasman National Park. Though time was short, we managed to cover ground and hike to Appletree Bay, a beautiful and deserted beach.
Our second day in Abel Tasman was only more beautiful than the first, and we spent this day traversing the calm seas of Abel Tasman in sea kayaks, stopping to frolick on a sunny beach or gaze at the wildlife.
I think that the group that I travelled with was really great, and I have really enjoyed getting to know each and every one of them (and everyone in the Pacific Program, for that matter).
On Sunday, our group fragmented. Though some went to catch the mid-afternoon ferry back to the North Island, some of my comrades and I desired one more day exploring the wilderness of the South Island. Upon the suggestion of a hostel employee, we chose to hike to Whistering Falls along the Hacket Track. Though the clouds slowly gathered throughout the day, we still enjoyed ourselves, and had more than enough time to climb mountains, play in rivers, and jump off of a bridge. Here was my view from the summit:
Time was our limiting factor, however, and we had to hurry back to Picton to catch our red-eye ferry back to Wellington. We made the boarding call with literally seconds (100, to be exact) to spare.
Again, for yours and my sanity, I will skip discussing any school-related details. Just know that for the next three days (Monday-Wednesday): I awoke at 7, was in class by 8, and dreamt only of returning to the great wilderness of this beautiful country.
On Thursday (1/17), everyone on my program departed Wellington bright and early. This was our first program-organized field trip, and we were headed for the Taupo Volcanic Area. Along the way, we stopped a few times to catch some great views of the interior of the North Island. Here is one of my favorites:
After a painfully long bus ride, we finally arrived at our destination: the Lakeland Resort– across the street from beautiful Lake Taupo.
On Saturday, we headed to Tongariro National Park and hiked along the Upper Tama Path. The weather along the way was extremely variable: In some areas, the sun was hot and the air was still. Just a stones throw away, however, the misty air was spitting snow and sleet. Furthermore, once we were up to about 1400 meters in elevation, the wind was consistent and strong… enough to make the normal force between you and the ground feel non-existent. Needless to say, layers were a necessity on the hike, and I was glad to have every one of mine! A great outdoorsman I know always told me: "It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it!" He would thrive in the New Zealand backcountry; I'm sure of it. (I MISS YOU, DAD!)
The changing scenery along the hike:
Me, at the summit, about to take flight:
After everyone had returned safely to the tour bus, we headed back to Taupo. The sunset was spectacular.
On Saturday morning, the group and I went on a guided bus tour of some of the more geologically interesting areas of the Taupo Volcanic Area. Much of our time was strictly academic, but we did see some things worth sharing. For instance, the geothermal hotbed known as Craters of the Moon:
Here's a good one, though not exactly academically relevant:
Huka Falls was our next stop.
For the remainder of our afternoon, we explored the city of Taupo. Some went bungy jumping, others went fishing in Taupo. I found the hot springs to be particularly captivating, and spent quite a while chatting with some locals while trying to find the perfect Goldlocks spot (not too hot, not too cold) in the shallow river.
On Sunday, the group had to make the long haul back to Wellington, but not without some great photo-ops!
Here is Mount Ruapehu in the clear skies:
And this is Mount Ngauruhoe. Some of you might recognize this as Mount Doom from the Lord of the Rings movies:
Well great! I've now recaptured some of the highlights of my most recent activities over the past two weeks. These pale in comparison to the actual experiences, but I am doing my best to put what I can into words.

I am, thankfully completely recovered from the Yorkshire debacle, and back teaching my normal week. Had a fruitful Monday, as all of my students had worked hard since last week. This makes it stress free teaching and a sense of progress.
My little J grows in confidence and skill each week, so much so that I have given her a couple of the part songs for the concert in November. I would not normally add in someone of such tender years to sing in the part songs, but she is more than capable and very up for singing with the 'big girls' ! Both J and L, another junior singer, are so focused and determined that they are a joy to teach, and I had a conversation with one of the fathers as to how valuable this early fun training is. When a small and talented child acquires technique by osmosis, these early years mean that the sound and good vowel tone quality becomes so deeply seated it cannot be forgotten.
Young R who started her new boarding school and the JRAM last week started singing at 8, and she is a classic example of this. She is now being taught by my daughter who told me only yesterday, after R's first singing lesson, how the tone quality she made was indeed, so under her skin, she has only to build on it and watch the fast development !
R is going to sing Gershwin's Summertime in her first concert outing next week. She loves the song, and it is such a good vehicle for a teenage voice, especially one which can make the octave leap A to A in the final phrase, as if she were falling off a proverbial singing log !
Summertime is often the first modern ballad ish aria that I use with youngsters. It has such immediate appeal, and a wonderful lazy melodic line. It is, of course, a classic and set for singing exams as well as being a cracker of a concert item.
Gershwin wrote such great melodies, he is like a 20th century Schubert !
A happy George Gershwin

Instigator of this exciting debate session is Sanja Petrovic, Professor of Operational Research at Nottingham University Business School and Vice President of the UK OR Society.
Sanja is also a Co-ordinator of the EURO, (European Association of Operational Research Societies) Working Group on Automated Timetabling (WATT) and has been a member of the EPSRC Peer Review College since 2003. She was also a guest co-editor for special issues of the European Journal of Operational Research (EJOR), Journal of Scheduling and Annals of Operations Research, is an Associate Editor of the IMA Journal of Management Mathematics and a member of the Editorial Board of the Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research - YUJOR.
Chairing the Debate this year will be Tony O'Connor CBE, Chair of Government OR Service (GORS)
Tony has 30 years' experience of operational research in Government across Education, the Cabinet Office, HM Treasury and since 2009, within the Department of Health's Strategy Group working on various cross-cutting and longer-term challenges for the health and care sector. Tony played a key central Government role as the Chief Analyst of the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit between 2001 and 2008, where he improved the use of evidence at the heart of Government, working in particular on performance measurement across key public services and reporting to the then Prime Minister. More recently he is leading a project on the potential of big data and data analytics for the Department of Health and across Government.
In addition, since April 2004 Tony has been the Head of the Government Operational Research Service (GORS), representing the interests of over 600 government operational research analysts across 20+ departments. In 2007 he was awarded the CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours for his work promoting operational research across Government and his analytical contribution to the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit. In 2010 he was made an Operational Research Companion of Honour by the Operational Research Society.
Motivated by the 200 year long history of debating at the Cambridge Union Society and especially by the recent debate entitled 'Religion Has No Place in the 21st Century', in which debating teams were led by Richard Dawkins and Rowan Williams, the Operational Research Society is organising a series of debates to examine opposing ideas and policies within Operational Research teaching, research and applications. The aim of the debates is to open new perspectives on a wide variety of Operational Research ideas and concepts and to advance the Operational Research discipline as a whole. Depending on the topic of the debate, different and opposing ideas and concepts can be confronted.
What is the precise meaning of debate and debating? Debate is defined in the Oxford dictionary as "a formal discussion on a particular matter in a public meeting or legislative assembly, in which opposing arguments are put forward and which usually ends with a vote". The Cambridge Union Society defines debating as "a fun activity akin to a game in which we examine ideas and policies with the aim of persuading people within an organised structure. It allows us to consider the world around us by thinking about different arguments, engaging with opposing views and speaking strategically."
This year's debate is provocatively entitled 'The future of OR is analytics'. Leading the debate are two people who, as Presidents of their respective societies, have taken diametrically-opposed positions on this topic. What are the differences between these two areas? Do we need both disciplines to address business requirements in the best possible way or could they be merged? Is there a need for Operational Research if Business Analytics is a rising star? Would it be detrimental to the Operational Research community to give up its name? Is the job market for these two disciplines different and does an Operational Researcher have different knowledge/skills from a Business Analyst?
This comprehensive debate will provoke thought and build understanding, not just of the relationship between Operational Research and Business Analytics, but also of strategies and tactics for the survival and spread of rational decision-making.
We will have two distinguished speakers.
Cathal Brugha is Emeritus Professor of Decision Analytics and Adjunct Professor at the School of Business, University College Dublin (UCD). He is also President of the Analytics Society of Ireland since 1992. He has a BSc and MSc in Mathematical Science from UCD, an MBA from Trinity College Dublin, and a PhD in Combinatorial Optimisation from UCD.He was Director of the Centre for Business Analytics at UCD, and of the MSc in Business Analytics, which includes an applied component with companies in Ireland.Dr Brugha's main theoretical research is in Nomology, the "science of the laws of the mind". The methods he has developed for solving decision problems in management are now being made available outside of the academic world for the first time through Brugha Consulting.

"Saturday Night Live" (SNL) comedienne Jan Hooks has died.
The 57-year-old actress passed away in New York City after living with a serious illness, TMZ reported.
Hooks had been a member of the late night comedy show's cast from 1986 to 1991, said NBC News.
She is best known for hilarious impressions of personalities such as Sinead O'Connor, Hillary Clinton, Jodie Foster and Kathie Lee Gifford.
The "Coneheads" star was also famed for playing one of the Sweeney Sisters, alongside fellow cast member Nora Dunn.
Hooks would go on to star on CBS sitcom "Designing Women" as well as "3rd Rock from the Sun" and "30 Rock," where she played Jenna Maroney's (Jane Krakowski's) mother, Verna.
She also voiced Manjula, wife of Kwik-E-Mart owner Apu Nahasapeemapetilon on "The Simpsons."
Canadian actress Nia Vardalos shared her feelings on Hooks' passing, writing:
RIP Jan Hooks. Dammit.— Nia Vardalos (@NiaVardalos) October 9, 2014
Ex-"SNL" cast member Kevin Nealon tweeted this photo of them together.
My girlfriend in the 80's and my friend forever, Janners. God, were you talented.
Too soon and too sad.

If the highlighted point is a sideshot, the inserted point will be a sideshot also. If the highlighted point is an occupied point, the newly created point is set at the midpoint between the highlighted occupied point and the previously occupied point. This is true if the inserted point is between two pre-existing COGO points.
If the inserted point is between two pre-existing points that are defined by raw data, then TPC will create the midpoint. You'll need to enter the correct data for the point and recompute the traverse to make sure all courses are updated properly.
The coordinates for an inserted point can be changed by entering raw data or using COGO options.
To append a point to the end of the traverse, choose Edit | Append Point.
Remember: Raw data is stored with the foresight. If the highlighted point contains raw data, the inserted point is made to be an occupied point, and the traverse is recomputed, the position of the highlighted point will be recomputed from the position of the inserted point using the raw data.

Pagano fired by Colts after six seasons in Indianapolis
- by Lawrence Kim
- in Sports
- — Jan 1, 2018
The team's 12 losses this season are their most since 2011, but the Colts haven't been a viable AFC contender in years. WISH-TV's Anthony Calhoun first reported the firing.
During the 2012-13 National Football League season, Pagano missed 12 games due to his battle with leukemia but rallied the Colts to the playoffs. Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who assumed more play calling duties this season and is thought of as one of the stronger first-time head coach options on that side of the ball, is also someone the Colts and others will want to talk to.
But the team failed to compile a winning record the past three seasons as they were hampered by multiple injuries to quarterback Andrew Luck.
Pagano's "D" ranked 31st in yards and 30th in points allowed this season after an overhaul under Ballard.
Vikings offensive line in flux heading into final week of season
A loss that night would have left the Vikings tied for third place in the division, before a home game against the 4-1 Packers . Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs grabs a touchdown in the third quarter to put the Vikings up 23-7.
Minimum wage rises to $10.40 an hour on path toward $15
Lawmakers later changed the law to only require employers to make up the difference when tips don't exceed the minimum wage. However, the minimum wage increases only apply to restaurants that are part of a chain of 30 or more locations nationwide.
Fiesta Bowl nostalgia? Not for Penn State and Washington
The junior still had a superb season, finishing with 2,154 all-purpose yards and 22 touchdowns, including 1,134 yards rushing. As the leader of the Boise State program, Petersen guided the Broncos to wins over Oklahoma and TCU in the Fiesta Bowl .
Pagano guided the Colts to a 56-46 overall record (including the postseason) after joining the team in 2012.
Owner Jim Irsay almost made this move twice in recent years, and with the franchise struggling and the future of Andrew Luck in doubt and with rookie general manager Chris Ballard embarked on a long-term reshaping of the organization, more changes are coming in 2018, league sources indicated. His high-water mark came in 2014, when a frisky Indianapolis roster made it to the conference championship only to lose to the Patriots. But Luck's missed 26 of the past 48 games, when a pair of 8-8 campaigns preceded this year's rebuilding season. As for Pagano, he's a lock to find another gig - just not as a head coach.
The mystery surrounding Luck's surgically repaired right shoulder - which kept him out the entire season and recently led him to Europe to seek treatment - could serve as an asterisk on the attractiveness of the Colts' vacancy.

Dell's P2715Q is an incredibly important product. We've reviewed many 4K monitors before, of course, some of which were excellent, but all had a catch; you were paying a serious premium for 4K resolution. This monitor is different.
After reading lots of reviews, the choice was between the BenQ equivalent and this one. I purchased my first one at a local retail store as it was hard finding it in stock and for a reasonable price. I was blown away. It wasn't just me though.First I'll tell you my setup. I just built a new PC.
I bought this to use as a gaming monitor before building my rig (it was on sale). I've ended up using it for work as a second display for my Macbook. It scales to 1080p on my Mac absolutely brilliantly, it's basically like a second retina display.
- It's IPS, so the colors are fantastic - Plugged it into my Macbook Pro with the provided mini DisplayPort cable, it worked immediately - Resolution is fantastic - The stand is superb
- I don't have anything bad to say about this so far
I hooked it up with an HDMI cable to my 2015 Macbook Pro 13", and it works in 4k. I am happy with the picture, and I use it for work. I would buy it again.
Purchased the Dell Ultra HD 4k Monitor P2715Q 27-Inch for PC photo editing using Lightroom and Photoshop as well as occasional gaming. I am truly amazed at the resolution and clarity when viewing RAW images in Lightroom that were taken with a pro DSLR.
This monitor is so awesome I couldn't wait to write a review! On my Macbook Pro it was completely plug-and-play (once I plugged the included display port cable into the correct port - one is a passthrough. The colors are great (and I'm picky).
As of May 2015, this is the best 27" 4K IPS monitor for the price.

The Ouka's show is an Optical illusion performance, mainly consists of techniques of ringarts. Ouka will coordinate specialized composition for each event, from 1 minutes to 60 minuites. On this page I will describe his main numbers. Please contact us to see the video of some acts, since some of the numbers are not open to the public.
I find many people tend to think that I, Ouka, created the manipulation using multi-structured ring.
Honestly speaking, I did not invent it.
Since my ringarts act has rapidly spread around the world and became famous, the misunderstandings also spread consequently.
In fact, multi-structured ring manipulation has developed very recently.
Some artists mention that Around 2008 Ryan Mellow had performed manipulation using jointed rings (which now known as eight-ring, and I used to call them "synchro-ring").
Although I did not know about it, I made synchro-ring by myself on the summer of 2008 and tried some manipulations.
I made synchro-ring to try to realize the visual effect of "multi-ball vertical anti-spin", trick invented by Metra, using rings.
the synchro-ring I made does not differ from the eight-rings I use now.
However, the techniques had not developed fully at that point, and I manipulated in totally different manner; I used arm-based techniques which commonly used to isolate single hoop, although I use my fingers to manipulate the rings now.
Later on, I had a chance to see manipulation of Kotaro using hachirin, the alternate name used for eight-rings.
He had impressive variation of hachirin manipulation, and I asked him to coach me on his techniques.
I use custom-made rings to fit my slightly short fingers.
Nicolas had influenced me on the "triple hoop".
I arranged his triple ring to visualize the perfect 1:2:3 ratio to expand the variation of effects.
This arrangement, and also enormous amount of trial, lead me to invent new techniques which slides the rings in my hand.
I named the manipulation, using multi-structured rings, "ringarts" and published my first video, which became widely known around the world.
I believe that the principle of the artist is the actual act created.
The factors creating the act such as the shape of the objects, techniques, music, costumes, and many other contents work only as a fragment.
The audience enjoys the act as a whole.
As you can see by reading this page, I created my numbers from fragments influenced and coached by others.
I use my own, unique methodology to create my number, which I have strong confidence.
I managed to invent the methodology for the eight-rings quite early. An advice made by a staff of a TV production helped me to create the methodology for the triple hoop.
Audiences tend to judge the entire performance by very small fragments.
I make my acts, believing that I use the best methodology.
I think other performers also believe that their own act are the best.
I did not invent the multi-structured ring manipulation.
Still, I wish to create and perform the acts which can purely entertain audiences.
Proposal of the Composition
An example of composition, from the performance in the reception party of Daido Life Insurance Company.
1.The lighting of the hall slowly darkens.
2.The digest movie of Ouka's performances on TV programs appears on the front screen.
3.The hall gets lightened, and Ouka is standing on the stage.
4.Ouka performs opening ringarts performance.
5.Ouka gives a greeting to the audience and introduces himself.
6.Ouka let the audience try ringarts, as he often does in TV shows.
7.Ouka performs the number "of me", an act using a prop which the audience must have tried in their childhood, and "EURO!", the speedy and audience uniting act.
8.Ouka performs "Ringarts with music note", well known as the act performed on the French national broadcasting.
9.After the performance, Ouka walks down to each tables and take pictures with the audiences.
This composition was intended to realize these purposes.
-Keep Ouka's performance secret till it starts to make the show surprising for the audience.
-Give two ladies to have chance to try ringarts.
-Come down to each tables to take pictures with the audiences.
Ms. B
We saw you twice yesterday! I saw the notification that you are coming, right after I saw your performance in TV program "The Showtime". We had been cherished great hopes to see your performance. It is much more entertaining to see shows right in front of it. My daughter and I was yelling "Wow!" and "great" so many times! I heard you came by bullet train. Kyushu must be far for you, but please come again!

"The only good thing about borders are the secret crossings."
Once we have our borders as clean and obvious as we can make them, we find Manuel Rivas's "secret crossings."
In secret crossings, people who are forcibly kept separated by walls and guns and passport control are able to make connections totally unexpected.
The borders—the imaginary lines where one group rubs up against another group—offer opportunity for transformation.
I think of Susan, leading yoga at the Lebanon/Syria border, being imitated by guards who had guns bigger than Susan herself.
I think of the car at the Syria/Lebanon border that bore a West Virginia Wesleyan College bumper sticker.
I think of the little boys selling nuts outside of our bus; the extent of our English/Arabic communication was playing the hand-slapping game.
We find connections in disconnected people. What is familiar to us—including our faith—is hidden within the unfamiliar.

I am a camera assistant with aspirations to become a fully fledged DoP. I have worked in the camera department on many different projects over the years, from advertising and TV spots through to short films and feature length. The technical specifications for different cameras and their operation have fascinated me for the last few years, and as such, I have strived to work on as many different cameras as possible, big and small. I studied cinematography at New Bulgarian University from Oct 2013 to June 2017, and I am awaiting my diploma. Whilst I have loved my time there, I wish to do more than just low budget productions, and so I have recently taken an internship at HOOT entertainment in London. I'm more than happy to work all over Europe as I am fluent in 3 different languages, and time zones don't bother me, I'm used to traveling! I have worked in other roles behind the scenes, including DIT, Data Wrangler, BTS / Stills Photographer and have also been DoP on a few student projects.

Cloudflare Workers Opens Edge Computing to Everyone
Prior to Cloudflare Workers, there were two main places where developers could deploy code: front-end code running on an end user's device, or back-end code running in a central data center. Both have their drawbacks. Code running on an end user's device is difficult to update and is limited by power and bandwidth.
