Is belief in a god justified because it's the only freely available antidote to the natural ocean of [Darwinian] suffering?
What do you mean by "justified"? If you mean "psychologically intelligible", maybe so. However, nothing can be intellectually justified simply because it is comforting. And it has to be belief in a certain kind of god. The Incas believed in a vengeful god that resented the life of his creation. I've read somewhere that an Inca, after some famous victory, contemplated suicide as this was an opportune moment to return his life to the one who gave it. I can't remember the rationale behind all this. A priori, there's no reason why the god who actually exists isn't of this sort (and maybe even a posteriori, given the state of the world).

Set on a historic coconut plantation steps from the sugar-white sand of Palm Beach, this colorful property features 14 casitas spread out over lush tropical gardens, with beach service and a special treasure box for kids. Casitas sleep 1-6 guests. Particularly appealing to parents is the lush, quiet and secluded garden with a small, shallow pool, ideal for children. All casitas have a fully equipped kitchen and are spread out, offering privacy and intimacy whilst being just steps from the beach. Daily housekeeping and concierge services add to your comfort. The smallest guests receive beach toys upon arrival; cribs, high chairs and rollaways are available upon request. Outdoors, a private patio offers plenty of space for family dinners, BBQ fun and lounging.
Why Kids Love it
Kids of all ages love Boardwalk; babies and toddlers are easily satisfied in our comfortable hammocks for a midday nap with mom or dad, while the cozy pool offers shaded water fun. Children under 10 get to pick their own day activity in our unique Aruba Treasure Box, a small box in each room that contains the best picks in family friendly sites, beaches and attractions. Teenagers will enjoy helping a hand at the BBQ on your private patio and discover the bustling bars and watersports on Palm Beach, right across the street. Learning how to kite or windsurf is a favorite, and as a guest of Boardwalk you will receive a discount at Vela Sports Aruba. For younger children, it is best to request a ground level casita and avoid stairs.

Style Notes
Colorful Caribbean. Boardwalk Small Hotel was named 'Best Hidden Gem Hotel' by USA Today for its secluded and barely visible location, tucked on a coconut plantation between tall palm trees and lush gardens close to famous and popular Palm Beach. The hotel is known for its relaxing, truly Caribbean vibe where 'living like a local' is promoted everywhere you look - from Aruba's Aloe nursery in the garden to hammocks and BBQs to grill a fresh catch. All casitas are furnished and decorated in a tropical and colorful style where you will feel right at home. Local artists have been commissioned to create unique art works for each separate casita. We love the punchy combination of hot pink, yellow and turquoise, the shaded terraces with views right out to the palms and white sand beaches, and the thoughtful services that make a stay here with kids extra special.

You adore your tiny tots and want to see them healthy and happy. Unfortunately, the incidence of obesity and disease in children is alarming. Keeping in shape holds the key to fitness even for young children. The benefits of exercise for children are numerous. But exercise doesn't mean they need to spend hours in the gym to stay fit. Kids can keep active in an array of activities, from walking to cycling, jumping, running, and participating in sports. The earlier a child starts with an exercise regimen, the greater his chances of reducing the risk of numerous illnesses.
Regular exercise can help children:
- maintain a healthy weight
- feel less stressed
- have a higher self-esteem
- sleep better and ward off sleeping disorders
- build healthy muscles, bones, and joints
Top Benefits of Exercise for Children Health
Good For Heart
When a child works out, their heart muscles are exercised as well. The performance and strength of heart muscle improve with regular exercise. A strong heart muscle can ward off the risk of cardiovascular disease and boost heart health. When blood pumps to and from the heart, the cardiovascular system stays healthy, with a lower risk of plaque deposits.
A memory Booster
A good exercise regimen can keep your blood and oxygen flowing all through your body. When more oxygen reaches the brain, it can work and think better. Exercise can benefit a child's brain by stimulating the formation of neurons that contribute to the growth of brain cells. Such children are more likely to experience better cognitive performance.
A study shows that children who exercise daily have stronger muscles, which may reinforce memory skills. The research study links aerobic fitness to better memory performance.
Healthy Weight
There are multiple health benefits of exercise for children. Kids who exercise regularly have less fat buildup and a leaner body composition. Regular exercise can help children maintain a healthy weight. Those who work out daily are less prone to becoming obese or overweight. Exercise helps shrink waistline of obese children. When a child maintains a healthy weight, they are less prone to metabolic disorders that often result from obesity.
Better Concentration
We all know playing helps build concentration. Children who are involved in regular physical activity enjoy better concentration and focus. Active kids are less likely to experience stress and anxiety and have sharp memory skills. Besides, exercise is a confidence booster. Children who exercise regularly stay calm and confident during presentations and tests.
Toxin Removal
Exercise increases blood flow to different organs, which helps detoxify the body. Regular physical activity promotes the transportation of toxins and metabolism byproducts from the cells for elimination. Active children sweat more and feel better, fitter, and more energized.
Strong Immunity
There are immunity boosting benefits of exercise for children. Active kids have stronger immune systems than those who do not. Their body is more capable of fighting diseases. Such children are less prone to common cold and allergies.
Better Blood Flow
Exercise pumps blood to every organ, thus helping supply nutrients to every part of the body. Growing children need a good nourishment of nutrients to cells and tissues, and exercise can contribute to moving adequate oxygen and nutrients to every single organ. Good nourishment means the child has more energy for physical activities.
Ward Off Diseases
Active kids are less likely to develop metabolic diseases and lifestyle disorders, such as thyroid imbalance, diabetes, allergies, abnormal cholesterol, and respiratory and orthopedic problems. Additionally, regular physical activity is the best way to keep blood glucose levels under control. Exercise can trigger muscles to use more glucose from the bloodstream and convert it into energy, thus preventing the accumulation of sugar in the blood and warding off the risk of diabetes.
Better Sleep
Active children enjoy a better quality and quantity of sleep. Improved brain performance helps induce sleep in children. It means kids who work out regularly enjoy quality sleep at night and wake up fresh in the morning. With a fresh mind, kids are better able to concentrate on studies and get higher grades.
Greater Emotional Wellbeing
Besides the physical benefits of exercise for children health, there are emotional benefits too. Physical activity triggers the release of serotonin or feel-good hormone in the body. Increased levels of serotonin create a feeling of well-being, reduce mental depression, stress, and anxiety, and boost self-esteem. As a result, children feel better about themselves.
Benefits of Exercise for Children: How Much is Too Much
How much exercise does a child need to stay fit and healthy? Exercise for 1 hour every day is the best way to stay active. Ride your bike after school, spend less time watching television or playing video games, walk with family after dinner, engage in sporting activities in the evening, play fetch games with your pet, and do anything that gets you moving. You do not need to hit the gym to stay fit and active.
Besides, combine your exercise regimen with healthy eating habits to stay active and kicking.

Judging by the local scene, North Americas ski resort industry seems to be enjoying a boom period. Snowboarding and innovations in ski technology have revived interest in the sports and created new heroes. A new mountain culture has spawned new magazines, snowboarder fashions and crowd-drawing pursuits such as freeskiing and boardercross. The impression is of a long-established industry riding a wave of excitement thats rolling over the mountains.
However, the truth somewhat belies the image. According to the Canadian Ski Council (CSC), real skier numbers in North America (i.e. the total number of people visiting resorts to go skiing or snowboarding each year) have remained fairly flat over the past 20 years, especially in the United States. The CSC says annual skier visits in the U.S. have remained around the 50 to 52 million mark, with higher numbers being recorded in big snow years. Canada, in comparison, has stayed around 16 million for much of the past decade, with numbers climbing to 17 million over the past two seasons. However, CSC president Colin Chedore says Canada has seen considerable growth in its western ski resorts such as Whistler, due to a rising influx of overseas visitors.
"In the 1994/95 season 4.6 million skier visits were recorded in British Columbia and by the 99/2000 season it had increased to 5.6 million thats quite a jump." But Chedore says this increase has been offset by consistent poor snow seasons in the east, with 2000/2001 being the exception.
"This winter we could be looking at record skier visits in Canadas eastern resorts, possibly up as high as 25 per cent," Chedore says.
Despite increases in some areas, the overall picture is one of very little growth especially when you take general population increases into account. According to the US Census Bureau, the population in the United States rose from 248.8 million to 272.4 million between 1990 and 1998. And Statistics Canada says the population here grew from 24.8 million to 29.7 million between 1981 and 1996. Statistics Canada estimates the current Canadian population to be 32.2 million.
Put these figures against the skier statistics and it casts the ski industry into a state of negative growth, with a lower percentage of the population hitting the slopes in North America than did 10 years ago. The Print Measurement Bureau has backed this trend, reporting that there has been no growth in the number of Canadians who ski or snowboard.
So how did this disparity between image and reality come about? The images are largely the work of the most successful resorts themselves. Take Whistler for example. From the winter of 1985-86 to 1999-00 the number of skier visits increased every year but one, with annual growth averaging 5.27 per cent between 1990 and 1999. Shrewd marketing and steady expansion has ensured Whistler has remained at the top of the international resort totem pole, and the draw card is working. Consistent good snow years, compared to key competitors in Colorado, has also helped.

Here is another scripture insert: We read through Eph. 6: 10-18 and discussed what some of the words meant:
Be Strong
Put on
Girt up your loins
I brought plastic wrap and two bottles filled with water to class
For our activity today I had one of the young men wrapped in plastic wrap:
He was sprayed with water…The water just bounced off.Just like when we put on the armour of God
One of the young men, then cut slits in the plastic wrap
Then he was sprayed again. Satan knows our weaknesses and will shoot his fiery darts at us and they will penetrate. We will not be able to protect ourselves unless we have on the whole Armour of God
This time, he did not stay dry, the water slipped in through the slits.I was hoping the girls would shoot at the slits, like Satan does. He knows just where our weak spots are and will shoot at them. But the girls were to afraid of sending him off to school wet.
The only way he could get out of the plastic was to pull it up over his head. He loved his stylish hat…reminded me of and Easter bonnet!! hehee

C Sixty
C Sixty is an early stage, highly innovative and focused nanotechnology company pioneering the development of new drugs based on the unique chemistry of water-soluble fullerenes, a recently discovered class of highly structured, small molecules. Since our organization in 1999,we have secured and developed a strong intellectual property position covering the strategic biomedical uses of fullerenes. Beginning in 2003, our company has focused its drug discovery efforts on the unprecedented antioxidant activity of fullerenes.
We believe that drugs based on fullerene antioxidant molecules may have significant impact on several unsolved diseases, including: Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's, Stroke, Atherosclerosis, complications from Diabetes, and protection of bone marrow cells from cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy, each of which represent billion dollar annual market opportunities. We secured partnerships with at least two multinational life science partners (Merck and Unilever). These partnerships currently involve evaluation of C Sixty's drug candidates for specific target applications.
We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Carbon Nanotechnologies Inc, the leading producer and innovator in the area of single-walled carbon nanotubes, and is managed as an independent operating company.

Aconex Delivers FY17 Financial Results in line with Guidance
Strong revenue growth supports accelerated investment
- Total revenue of $161.2 million, up 31% year over year (36% on a constant currency basis).
- EBITDA from core operations, up 10% to $15.0 million (excluding acquisition and integration costs and foreign currency gains and losses).
- International revenue growth of 45% with full year contribution from Conject (54% on a constant currency basis).
- Significant investment in product, sales, marketing and client service to accelerate growth.
- Integration of Conject complete.
- Launch of Connected Cost.
MELBOURNE, Australia, 22 August 2017 – Aconex Limited (ASX: ACX), provider of the #1 global platform connecting teams on construction and engineering projects, today announced its financial results for the year ended 30 June 2017 (FY17).
Commenting on the result, Chief Executive Officer Leigh Jasper said that the solid FY17 result reflected a stronger second half performance, a full year contribution from Conject and further penetration of the Company's international markets which together have significantly strengthened its leading global position.
"Revenue increased in the second half of the year as market conditions improved and we continued to transition project customers to enterprise agreements, especially in ANZ. With Conject fully integrated into the business we also saw stronger revenue growth in Europe," said Leigh Jasper, Aconex CEO. "We are truly a global business with two-thirds of our revenues now generated outside Australia and New Zealand.
"To drive greater returns and take advantage of the rapid growth in technology adoption across the industry, we have ramped up our investment in sales & marketing and our operational infrastructure. We have also significantly increased investment in our product, with 22% of revenue committed to research and development. We enhanced our offering and developed several new modules, including
Connected Cost, and extended our ecosystem. Connected Cost alone has considerably increased our total addressable market and improved our overall win rates in all our regions.
"Meanwhile, our certification for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is in process, which will enable us to service government projects with the highest compliance requirements in the world. This is a major competitive advantage.
"In the coming year, we will continue to extend our leadership position through further investment in our international markets and ongoing product development. We expect to grow revenue by 15 to 19% while increasing EBITDA and generating positive cash."
Strong revenue growth and alignment with cash
Total revenue for the year to 30 June 2017 grew 31% to $161.2 million, (36% on a constant currency basis) from $123.4 million in FY16. The uplift was principally driven by the Conject acquisition, strong growth in our international markets and an improved second half performance in ANZ.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) from core operations, excluding acquisition and integration costs, increased to $15.0 million, up 10% on the prior year. The company's EBITDA margin reduced slightly from 11.0% in 2016 to 9.3% in 2017, due to the acquisition of the Conject business and ongoing investment in product, sales, marketing and client service.
The company's total cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2017 were $33.9 million, including restricted cash of $2.9 million, compared with $52.5 million at 30 June 2016. Gross cash receipts from customers were $168.0 million, up 35% on the prior corresponding period's total of $124.6 million. Several investment activities impacted the cash balance during the year including:
- Acquisition, restructure and integration costs related to the Conject business of $7.9 million;
- $1.4 million related to the Worksite and CIMIC Keystone acquisitions; and
- Increased capital expenditure totaling $7.2 million to support the growth of the business.
Ongoing investment to support growth
Expenses increased in line with revenue growth. Sales and marketing expenses grew 28% to $59.2 million as the Company bolstered its international sales teams to drive further market penetration. G&A costs rose 24% year-on-year reflecting the Conject integration, new head office appointments and investment in operating systems to support growth.
Overall cash investment in engineering and product development grew from 17.8% to 22.1% of total
revenue due to the addition of the Worksite and Conject engineering teams and corresponding investment in product. During the year, we added several new modules including Connected Cost, design management, packages, advanced mail routing, PDF checklists, new reports and insights. These product enhancements will drive improved yield over time and further accelerate the adoption of Aconex as the global industry standard for collaboration software.
International revenue up 45% YoY in line with long-term growth strategy
International revenue increased 45% to $107.9 million or 54% on a constant currency basis in line with the Company's successful regionally-focused growth strategy. Revenues in the ANZ region increased 9% from $48.8 million in FY16 to $53.3 million in FY17 due to new business growth and the ongoing conversion of customers to enterprise agreements, which now represent more than 65% of the region's revenue.
Revenues in Europe and Africa increased 143% from $17.5 million in FY16 to $42.6 million in FY17. The uplift in was principally driven by the full-year contribution of Conject. Revenue was impacted by adverse foreign currency movements, particularly the depreciation of the GBP and EUR against the AUD. On a constant currency basis, revenues lifted 168%. In the Middle East, revenues increased 11% (15% on a constant currency basis) from $22.4 million in FY16 to $24.9 million in FY17.

Being behind bars hasn't stopped Kwame's care for the people of Michigan. Recently, Kwame Kilpatrick spoke out about what's happening in Flint with water having high levels of contamination that have poisoned the residence in the past weeks. According to Kwame, its a problem that's existed for years and officials have been fully aware of the severity of it's potential effects on the people. I'll let you read the letter for yourself, it's posted below… Tweet me your thoughts @skaii_boxx
Just so you all know. We (The Detroit Water and Sewage Department) were talking about the problems of the Flint Water Department (financial management, ability to perform, cleanliness of water, elimination of contaminants, mercury levels, lead levels) back in 2004. We knew (our folks in Detroit, SEMCOG, Genesee County Officials, some members of the State Legislature, and the Governor at that time) new that there were significant issues with all of those items.
In 2006 we attempted to craft a deal to put them on our water system. We were in negotiations, led by Victor Mercado, for months, and I wanted to make it work. I attended one meeting, and was on a conference call for another, expressing my willingness to make this work. SEMCOG and Judge Fiekens was also aware of this. SEMCOG was against the Agreement!
BUT, the people in Genesee County, at the table during that time (the County Drain Commissioner & his staff, a State Senator, and a State House Member all from Genesee County) wanted to keep control of the system.
Also, former Michigan Governor, Jennifer Granholm, was well aware of the issues with the Flint Water Department, and their inability to produce contaminant free water moving forward, nor afford the equipment & technology to do so.
When the current Governor of Michigan says that he "only recently was made aware of this issue", he is being misleading at best. But more than likely, he is being viciously, aggressively, and deliberately untruthful. I pray that the truth comes out. That's what everyone in Michigan wants right? The Truth! Well, my prayer is that you all will have an opportunity to warm yourselves at the fire of Truth.
I am here in prison, with a 28-year sentence, for a case where there is NO EMBEZZLEMENT, NO MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS, NO BRIBERY, NO STEALING OF ANY MONEY, as a matter of fact, NO PUBLIC MONEY AT ALL. And NO CHARGES THEREOF! 99% of Detroiters have NO idea why I'm here. They don't know the charges, nor what I'm sentenced for. They sure do know the rumors.
I wonder how much time you get for knowingly & actually delivering unsafe, dangerous, and poisonous drinking water to the people you represent? Which in-turn causes deaths, permanent illnesses, and disabilities. Can you actually be hated, hurt, and imprisoned for ridiculous rumors about murder…and not be for actually killing people?
I pray for justice for the people of Flint! And I also pray that God will give to all of you in Michigan the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. That you all may have your eyes opened with understanding.
The blindness is hurting lots of people. Its even killing some. OPEN YOUR EYES!

Our yard has been pretty active lately but it seems to have gotten even more so the last few days. Some new, colorful birds have been dropping by and sometimes it is so loud out there that it sounds like we're deep in a busy, bird-filled forest.
"Tink," above, is no longer the yellowest bird in the yard! Since I hung a thistle sock a few days ago, a whole flock of these guys, below, have moved in. There must be at least 20 of them and they are very chatty. I only recently saw a couple in the yard and, once the thistle was out, the word apparently got out among their friends. I love watching them, they're so bright and pretty.
Lesser Goldfinches, male and female
I was hoping the thistle would draw some other kinds of goldfinches or some Pine Siskins (which would be lifers) but, so far, the only new birds I've gotten are:
The lovebirds were originally escapees from a pet store back in the 1980s but they were able to flourish here and now there is a large, feral population. I had seen them pass through our yard now and then but now they are dropping bu more regularly. They also like black oil sunflower seed and they like the swing, too, but I haven't gotten a photo of that yet. You can always hear when they are around.
Gila Woodpeckers, male and female
The male is very loud and raucous but the female has just started showing up to eat oranges and she is very quiet.
Yard bird #37:
Northern Flicker (Red-shafted), male
Some of these male House Finches are soooo bright red that I keep thinking I'm seeing Cardinals. We have many, many more bird species in our yard as regulars but these are the most colorful of the bunch.
Hope your New Year is off to a great start and that you have all sorts of fun plans ahead. These were my 2017 Goals and the results:
- Volunteer 100 hours at Desert Botanical Garden. Volunteered 102.75 hours.
- Find 60 new Lifers (new birds). Found 58.
- Go on many AZ day trips with Tony. Went on 23.
2018 Goals are about the same: 100 hours, 50 Lifers, 25 day trips.

Ok, I'll make this quick. I am an artist, a professional at my craft. When someone recently, oh, like, maybe a city in Texas that shall remain un-named asked me to design a poster for a festival, for free, I didn't exactly jump at the project. But, being the good soul that I am, I thought about it for a minute and said, "sure, why not." Good Exposure, right? Uh, yeah, right. Well, I made the design, even hand delivered (after I had sent a photo of it to make sure it was what they wanted). They then started back-pedaling on the whole deal after I dropped it off. At least they had the 'grace' to call me and say they wouldn't be using it because they couldn't line a up place to hold the unveiling and auction. (they auction off the artwork to help fund the festival...but not to give funds to the artist...I'm.not.commenting.on.that).
So, reportedly they are shipping it back to me. We'll see if that happens. Here's the good outcome from all of this. If I don't know you or support your 'cause' it will be so much easier for me to say, no, not interested. There are some very good folks who I will always donate a piece to, every year. But the above, might I say, a$$hats? Forget it, don't ask me, again, ever.
That being said, I'm headed back to the Fayetteville this week. To get started on the cat book drawings and do a 24"x24" dog drawing for 'Petcasso' the big fundraiser for Animal Trustees of Austin which takes place in April. Wah hoo!


text: After riding and racing mountain bikes on and off since 1991 I decided to give road riding a try in an attempt to get back into shape after a couple of years off the bike. After several months of casual road rides with friends I decided it was time for me to join the ZiaVelo Saturday group ride and became a member of ZiaVelo in the fall of 2011. Even though mountain biking has always been my passion, I found that road biking was a new and exciting challenge for me and wanted to be part of the ZiaVelo family. I plan to continue representing the ZiaVelo colors in both road and mountain bike racing.

I am getting ready to redo my craft room yet again. It is so hard to get it just right since it is the smallest bedroom in my house (9x10) and it doubles as my guest room. So, I have a twin bed in there, and a TON of scrapbook stuff. I have tried everything imaginable to no avail.
So, now I am putting up two 8 foot shelves above my work area to put stuff on. Getting rid of the two drawer lateral file cabinet. It currently holds my 81/2 x 11 card stock in the top drawer and my household tools (hammers, screws, etc.) in the bottom drawer. I am going to sort through all the tools and get rid of a bunch of stuff. Lets face it, if it needs fixed I'm calling the handyman anyway. The other purpose for the lateral file is it holds my homemade scraprack. I will just have to find a new home for that.
I hope that when I am finished I can get back to the task of actually scrapbooking. Right know I have a plastic tub FULL of projects that need to be scrapped.
Once I get it all done, I will share a photo.
Wish me luck on my endevor.

I absolutely love this glamorous session with Abbie, a mother of four super cute little munchkins! Abbie was so easy going and ready for anything. We did a few outfit changes, and ended up changing her hairstyles a few times, too! She looked so beautiful in all of them. And of course we had to end this session with a couture look! This woman, simply gorgeous!

On April 9th, a lecture was held at 19:00 in the main chapel room of the Reverend Han Kyung-chik Memorial Hall. The lecturer was Mr. Lee Ji-song, the author of the books Thinking Humanities, Dreaming Attic, and Lead by Reading. They are bestsellers that sold over half a million copies. On this day, Lee's lecture focused on his thoughts regarding humanities, such as the time spent in a university that served as a place for students to start exploring humanities and loving one's self.

Australia's peak dental body is urging the federal government to encourage consumers to save for their own dental and allied health care, a move which it says can remove many of the weaknesses of the current system without undermining the existing hospital private health insurance (PHI) system.
The Australian Dental Association (ADA), giving its feedback on proposed PHI reforms, said, "Savings in an health savings account (HSA) can be used to fund any treatment that is needed, unlike PHI extras cover which is increasingly characterised by rebate exclusions, restrictions and caps of various kinds that often effectively prevent the consumer from accessing the full value of cover available for various treatment categories under the policy.
"Further, with an HSA system, consumer choice of health practitioner is not constrained by artificial price imposts on the services of providers who are not in preferred provider arrangements with the fund."
ADA notes that on average, general treatment insurance returns less than 75% of premiums paid by consumers to them in the form of rebates each year, and for consumers who use only the dental cover provided under their policy, major for-profit health funds will typically only return around half of the cost of the premium in the form of dental treatment rebates. The proportion of the premium retained as gross surplus by the health fund covers management costs, the costs of administering claims, profit (if a for-profit fund) and some cross-subsidisation of hospital insurance offered by the fund.
By contrast, a consumer funding their treatment through an HSA can apply their health savings to the full cost of any treatment they need without artificial restriction, and exercise genuine choice of health service provider. Rather than losing 25% or more of the money they have spent on health fund policy premiums each year, without any appreciable benefit to show for it, they can accumulate and earn interest on unused health savings in their HSA over time to cover themselves against healthcare cost increases, and the cost of more expensive health interventions they may need as they age.
Furthermore, ADA argues, the full value of tax incentives used to encourage self-financing goes towards facilitating consumer access to dental and allied health care, rather than the current situation, where a proportion of the PHI tax rebate on general treatment policy premiums subsidises the management costs and profit margins of health funds.

Your host---Bee Talk---Days Gone By
Your host
November in Texas is a good time to inspect your hives for winter stores, diseases, population and for pulling empty boxes. Make sure that your hives are in good shape for making it through the winter months. This inspection is the most important inspection of the year. If your bees can't make it through the winter months, then spring time really doesn't matter. If a good inspection is performed now, then your hives will stand the best chance to emerge from winter in the best shape possible for the spring honey flow.
I submitted my new book; Beekeeping: A Personal Journey to "Kim Flottum" (Bee Culture) for review. He is like the Simon Cowell of the book review world. It was a little scarey because he can make or break a books performance. Fortunately, he gave my book a good review which he will be placing in the November issue of the Bee Culture magazine. My book is now available on this website under the book page. It is a secured site.
Bee Talk
My husband and I drove to Amarillo last weekend, and that gave us (one or the other) 16 hours to devote to your husband's bee book. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The most fascinating part of all of it is how much your husband cares for these creatures. I've been talking to my 5 year old grandson about the bee book and how we can actually visit the bee yard. He lives in Austin, so I'm not sure when we might be able to schedule that. Thanks so much for sharing this book.
Linda Schulte
Hello Dennis,
We just finished reading your book today. Your organic heart and soul shine through on just about every page. It is obvious that you have a great love for Mother Nature, as well as Her magnificent creatures - - - the honeybees. Each of us had our own particular, "Ah-hah" moments as we read your book. The illustrations are also just adorable!
If we could personally spend time with you, we think we'd like you alot. :)
Sam will post a note to the MOVBA website within the next several days - - - - soon as Joyce can get him out of the honey shed long enough to do it!!!!
Keep on buzzin. Sam and Joyce Hammett
I wanted to finish your book before I wrote and did so last night. I really enjoyed reading it. It covers just about everything that you teach in class. The opportunity to work in your yard with you was such a great chance to learn. All the time in class is great but nothing takes the place of hands on experience. I really liked your trick of using the queen excluder to allow the brood to hatch off of frames that you needed to exchange.
I just completed a mite check on both hives and the numbers were a little high on both. I had the board on for a little over 48 hours and had about 25 mites on each board. I'm thinking of testing again in a few days and see how that goes.
I made a mistake on one of the hives by not going into it for too long and complicated it by having my spacing (9frames) a little too wide on one wall. I had brood and honey comb being built between the top and bottom brood boxes and honey comb built to the side that was too wide. It made a mess and it was very difficult to remove the frames but got through it OK. I hope they can repair the comb on the side near the wall.
Other wise, lots of pollen coming in. It is coming in from at least two kinds of plants. One is the same bright yellow like I saw in your yard last week and the other is very pale cream color.
Thanks again for your patience in helping rookies like me to become beekeepers.
Regards, Brian
I am glad that you enjoyed my book. Your mite count maybe OK for now because the queen is very busy laying winter bees. The more brood that you have the higher your mite count becomes. Check it again in a month or so and let me know. Dennis
Hello everyone,
I just read Randy Oliver's article about using Mite-Away strips in the September Issue of the American Bee Journal. I am blown away how he or anyone else could possibly think by putting these chemicals into a hive is a good thing. He talks about how it kills bees, brood and sometimes even the queen. He shows a picture of how the grass in front of the hive is dying from the fumes the chemical emits. How can anyone in their right mind think that this is a good thing for the bees? I just don't get it. If the general public knew what these beekeepers were dumping into their hives, it would make it near impossible for us to sell our honey in the open market. Dennis
This could serve as an example of the attitude of much of the agricultural industry today. Sadly, it has become more an issue of quantity versus quality when it comes to producing crops, with little or no regard to the consequences or long-term effects to the health of the consumer or to the animals and crops involved. It becomes increasingly difficult for the consumer to know if what they are eating might not eventually be detrimental to their well-being.
In the case of chemicals being used on our bees, if this practice does not destroy this vital creature, it might well play a role in our eventual destruction.
Good morning Dennis,
Just a short note about something interesting I observed this weekend. We had several watermelons in our garden that we had not picked yet and something, a coon probably, ate holes in a couple of them. Before we could throw the melons to our chickens, bees found them. There were probably a hundred or more bees going after these watermelons. The bees liked them so much I'm thinking of cutting open a couple more for them. I found all of this interesting because I had never noticed bees eating watermelon before. It was especially cool to watch the seed spitting contest, it was won by a drone wearing a John Deere hat and overalls by the way. Jerry
Hello Jerry,
I have seen bees go after melons before. This time of year they will go after anything that has sugar in it even your soft drinks. I have never witnessed bees performing a seed spitting contest before. That is pretty cool. Were the contestants checked for chemical use before they entered the competition? Dennis
Dear Dennis:
Thank you for the information. My decision to go treatment free with bees, no matter what the costs, was based upon my belief that honey should be delivered as a product of the hive, in a pure unadulterated form. I kept bees during the late 70s through the mid 80s, never treating during that time either, but of course it was much easier.
I went into the winter last year with 8 colonies, 1 which was weak. I had 7 make it through the winter as the weak one died.
Because of the drought, and my guess that this year would not be productive for honey sales, I decided to expand my apiary. I have sold 5 colonies and have expanded my own apiary from 7 to 16. In doing so I have moved all my deep equipment out of my apiary, converting to all mediums, for ease in switching between brood chambers and honey supers; and to reduce the weight of 80- 90# deep honey supers. In this age we have to roll with the punches dealt to us and make the best with what we have. I had hopes of making it to 20 colonies this year, but have felt it is better to have 16 strong colonies, than 20 with several weaker.
Again, thanks for being such an encouragement. Sometimes it gets lonely in the wilderness.
Kindest Regards, Danny Unger
Hello Danny,
Good to hear from you. It is my understanding that the drought will continue all threw next year as well. I have actually reduced my hive numbers. There has been numerous honey producing plants/trees that have died already and that in its self will limit the amount of forage for the bees next year. It is tough times and I encourage everyone to stick with hive numbers that they can care for right now.
Keep me posted on your operation and as always you can email me anytime. Dennis

Lauren & Jimmy's Chicago History Museum Wedding - Part 1/
Happy Friday! What do you think of our new Sweetchic website and blog layout so far?! Lauren & Jimmy were so much fun to work with on their wedding last September! They chose the Chicago History Museum, which was the perfect venue to create their vision of a "vintage, historic-inspired and fun" wedding. Jimmy is a comedian by trade, so the "fun" aspect was a necessity! I loved that we brought it tons of unique elements to their day... multiple song performances during their ceremony, including a trio by Lauren, Jimmy and their Officiant... an Abe Lincoln impersonator, an ice cream cart, a JAZZERCIZE routine... need I say more?! I'll let the gorgeous photos by Steve Koo Photography do the rest of the talking!
I love that Lauren chose orange as the primary color... such a happy, under-appreciated color!!
Do you recognize the tall Groomsman below? He is comedian, Dave Koechner, of Anchorman fame!
Let me just interject to say that this was one of my absolute favorite moments of the day... towards the end of their wedding ceremony, Lauren, Jimmy and their Officiant broke into song, an original, humorous song called Take my Advice (which I believe was written by their Officiant!). Completely awesome!

Streaming site Anime on Demand dropped the news on Twitter today that Kaze UK have picked up Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan for DVD release sometime in 2013. Both seasons of the supernatural shounen series will be released through Manga Entertainment as previous Kaze titles such as Black Lagoon and "Mardock Scramble have recently.
Based on the million selling manga by Hiroshi Shibashi, Nura is the tale of Rikuo Nura, a part-human part-Yokai boy whose demon genes cause him to transform into a Yokai at night. He lives with his Yokai grandfather who is eager for him to become head of the Nura clan. Not exactly keen on the idea, Rikuo does good deeds to avoid transforming into a full Yokai. But will he able to escape his fate forever or will Rikuo have to come to terms with his position as the inheritor of the Nura Clan and face the opposing factions that would take the powerful position for themselves?
The Nura manga concluded in Japan in June of this year, however the series is still being released in English by Viz and the English dub of the anime previewed below will premiere on US streaming service Neon Alley next week.

Last week was just one of those weeks. I was incredibly busy and felt rather scattered and stressed out. This week may be just as busy too, but I am hoping to recharge and go into it with the best attitude possible.
One thing that was particularly upsetting last week was that I lost a whole bunch of my photos….Pretty much every photo from Labor Day to now. We had a lot backed up, and the boy had quite a few stored on his computer, but there was a good amount that have been lost forever.
It brought up a particular flaw of mine that I really need to work on – I am digitally messy. I don't properly label my photos, I am bad about organizing them and I take so many. This little mishap of accidentally deleting my entire photo library, only emphasized that I need to be more organized with my photos and I need to be better about limiting the ones I keep.
It's so easy to take photos of everything, and believe me, I do. I'm constantly taking photos for my blog, many of which I forget about and get lost in the shuffle. I've been thinking more and more about the days when I would only use disposable cameras – before digital took off and back when I actually didn't own a camera. 24 exposures and that was it. It a way, I miss having that preset limit on my photography.
I am setting myself a new goal this month of reorganizing all the photos I currently have, getting more printed and limiting the new photos I keep. I still plan on taking plenty of pictures, but I am going to try to be better about deleting the bad, or unimportant shots, especially if they've already been blogged.
If anyone out there has any tips or tricks to organizing your digital photos please share! I could definitely use some insight into the best ways to stay on top of this goal!

I have a goal. It's not impossible, but it will require work on my part.
I dream of being as spry and fired alive as Paul McCartney is at 71. The man sang and played and conversed with the audience of 40 thousand plus for almost three hours without a real break, not more than 3-5 minutes off stage tops during the course of the whole show. He sang, he shared, he made jokes, he told stories and played the heart out of a piano and at least 7 guitars plus a George Harrison's ukulele. He seemed to grow younger and lighter as the evening wore on, singing favorites like Hey Jude and Let it Be and Ob-la-di, Ob-la-dah, and rocking out Band on the Run and a fiery Live and Let Die.
Honestly, I always liked Paul, but this topped my expectations of a concert experience when I'm in a upper section of a baseball park. I've had closer encounters with performers that felt less emotionally connected and intimate. Half way through, it struck me, this is a master playing. This man has been performing and making music for 50 years, and his experience, his pacing, his show revealed the difference between having a hit and rocking on the energy of the crowd and knowing how to bring the audience along with you.
Marc bought us the tickets after he played "Birthday." for my 47th on the i-pad. I have fond memories of that song from my brother blasting it on my 24th, the year I got married, to wake me up.
The concert was a homage to friends and ghosts, performers and friends, celebrities and family that he still wanted to hold onto, and to remind us to remember. The family photos and footage of his earlier years were especially poignant. This was Paul's show.
What I didn't expect, was for his songs to trigger a memory journey for me. "Let it Be" was the song played on the organ at the end of my Uncle Tommy's funeral. I could immediately smell the nicotine that always accompanied my dad's oldest brother. Ob-la-di, Ob-la-dah had multiple connections, from the show "Life Goes On," to my son Paul, to a cassette of songs my then boyfriend made for me when I went to Europe, and sitting in my parents living room with my brothers and a wooden guitar, a toy piano and a drum set made of an oatmeal carton and pots pretending to be three of the four Beatles. Then there was Hey Jude, and that brought memories of my parents and their friends singing along in that same living room and us playing the record Jesus Christ Superstar to death one summer.
My one complaint was occasionally the art was a bit too trippy, like when Paul did the silly "All together Now" sing-a-long. The little figurines on the screen looked like Veggie tales on acid. Who knows? They might have been.
Sir Paul could have called it quits after two hours, he'd played beautifully, he'd done a ton of favorites and had a show stopping finale. However this is Paul, formerly of the Beatles. He came out for two encores. Regrettably, we had to leave during the second one, as our garage closed at 12 and it was 11:45. To get home, we split up, Marc taking a cab and me the metro. He won, but I arrived at 12:06. If Marc had not made it, the evening would have been dramatic, as the metro stops also at 12, meaning once I got off, I was stuck until morning.
But it all worked out, and today, Paul is preparing to pack up and go onto his next stop in Indianapolis. One last bit from the concert. Someone in the expensive floor seats had a sign, "THIS IS THE BEST PRESENT I EVER GAVE MYSELF" and I have to say, it was a pretty awesome present simply to receive as well.
Thanks Marc.
Love, Sherry

Worst-case-optimal algorithms for guarding planar graphs and polyhedral surfaces
We present an optimal Θ(n)-time algorithm for the selection of a subset of the vertices of an n-vertex plane graph G so that each of the faces of G is covered by (i.e., incident with) one or more of the selected vertices. At most ⌊n/2⌋ vertices are selected, matching the worst-case requirement. Analogous results for edge-covers are developed for two different notions of "coverage". In particular, our linear-time algorithm selects at most n-2 edges to strongly cover G, at most ⌊n/3⌋ diagonals to cover G, and in the case where G has no quadrilateral faces, at most ⌊n/3⌋ edges to cover G. All these bounds are optimal in the worst-case. Most of our results flow from the study of a relaxation of the familiar notion of a 2-coloring of a plane graph which we call a face-respecting 2-coloring that permits monochromatic edges as long as there are no monochromatic faces. Our algorithms apply directly to the location of guards, utilities or illumination sources on the vertices or edges of polyhedral terrains, polyhedral surfaces, or planar subdivisions.

Jeans Don't Fit Anymore? 6 Hacks to Stretch and Shrink Your Denim
Jeans can be very fickle creatures: They're all cut differently, even when you buy them from the same brand; the wash changes the sizing; and depending on how you care for them, they fit differently every time you put them on. Because of all that, sometimes, sadly, your old favorites just don't fit right anymore.
We've all been there, and it can be super frustrating. Either the denim has become extremely stretched out and the jeans are way too big or it has shrunk down to a microscopic version of its former self and you can barely squeeze into them. Either way, it's a total bummer.
Luckily, there are actually some very reliable fixes for the common denim dilemma. Armed with these six clever hacks on how to shrink or stretch jeans, you can make sure they always fit like a glove.
If your jeans have gotten a little stretched out, just throw them in a standard wash cycle, but put it on the hottest setting. This method works best if your jeans are made of a denim that's as close to 100% cotton as possible. And a word to the wise: Don't use any fabric softener.
After you're done washing them on a hot cycle, toss them in the dryer, and turn it to the hot setting. All the heat will constrict the fibers in the denim, making your jeans snugger than they were before.
If it's the waistband of your jeans that is a little too loose, try this handy trick: Sew a six-inch piece of elastic from a fabric store into the inside of your waistband on the back. Follow this useful guide to the proper sewing technique, and watch the magic unfold.
This trick is the easiest way to try to stretch out a pair of jeans that shrunk down. Spray them with lukewarm water, and then lay the jeans out on the floor. Stand on each leg of the jeans, bend down, and use your hands to manually pull and stretch the jeans while they are wet. Feel free to pull them in any and all directions, reapplying the lukewarm water as needed.
This one might sound a little crazy, but it works: Put on the jeans that are too snug, fill a bath with warm water, and sit in it. The warm (not hot!) water will help loosen and stretch the threading a bit. This one you obviously need to do in advance; allow the jeans to hang dry when you're done.
This technique is a bit more advanced, but it's great if you want to get crafty. Rip the side seams of your jeans about two to three inches down, and then cut the waistband at the same place. You'll then add a separate piece of denim (or some other material like leather) to expand the waist of your jeans. (This picture guide shows the process step by step!)

No guest bedroom? No problem.
We may earn a commission for purchases made through our links. Why trust us?
You don't have to sacrifice style to comfortably house your overnight guests. We found 14 top-rated sleeper sofas that have a streamlined and sophisticated look, while remaining plenty cushy. Plus, they're a total pleasure to sleep on!
This 4.5-foot-wide sleeper sofa works for even the smallest of spaces. In couch form, this linen-upholstered seat makes for a comfy place to curl up and watch TV, and the interior bed slides out and unfolds easily. Users also note that it looks great and is a cinch to assemble! Available in twin, full, and queen bed sizes, its interior memory foam mattress makes even a casual weekend crash feel extra dreamy.
More: The Best Bed Pillows for the Most Comfortable Night's Sleep
You'd probably never guess that this Victorian-style velour sofa has secret sleeper capabilities! A fantastic value for the near-7-foot size, it can seat three people, then the back folds down, futon-style, to comfortably fit two overnight guests. With its all-over button tufting, sloped silhouette, and unique olive color, it's a worthwhile investment for frequent hosts.
The sleeper hit of any overnight stay, this small sofa is a comfy place to catch some zzz's, even without pulling out the bed inside! Its black faux-leather upholstery is soft, the seat is firm, and the internal twin-sized mattress is best coupled with a mattress topper for extra-plush enjoyment.
This sleeper has a compact and modern design, with a deep-set cushion and a low profile, yet the queen-sized bed it converts into is more than spacious enough for two to sleep. One long seat cushion means no awkward sinking into the middle, and it's available in a broad range of gorgeous fabrics and shades.
Joybird's user-favorite Eliot sleeper sofa delivers all of the comforts of modern living, outfitted in masterfully mod style. Its kiln-dried hardwood frame provides a stable foundation for the seat, as well as the high-resiliency memory foam mattress tucked away inside. Its tufted cushions add a buttoned-up, tailored look, and the upholstery comes in nearly any color you can think of, from heathered gray to kelly green to bubblegum pink.
Finally, a sleeper sofa that looks more like a statement piece. Interior Define's Charley Sofa was designed by DIY bloggers Julia and Chris Marcum to appeal to those who love functional, yet stylish design. The Charley (named after their Great Pyrenees pup) is actually available in a variety of couch configurations, but the sleeper sofa option is best for the home that does a lot of hosting.
The deep-set profile and the single, long seat cushion allow for more comfortable cozying-up of two or more people — with no one getting stuck in the center gap. The couch upholstery is available in 70 different fabric-and-color choices, and yes, the swatches are free! Though it could take up to 16 weeks to deliver the final product, you'll have peace of mind that this sleeper was truly made for your space.
Not only is Article's three-seater sleeper sofa a beautifully engineered unit for upright lounging, but its interior memory-foam mattress provides unmatched comfort for overnight guests! The tufted stitching on the heathered material, along with its one long seat cushion, provides seamless style to the design-focused space.
Whether it's used for seating or sleeping, this sofa ensures that you're not sacrificing comfort or style in your space. It features a slim, streamlined profile and tapered legs that complement a mid-century-inspired aesthetic. The back folds easily down into a firm but comfy twin-sized bed, perfect for accommodating a last-minute house guest.
This beautifully crafted sleeper sofa has a clean lined construction that works so well in the modern living room. While the cushions are initially firm at first sit, it's still super comfortable to use as your home's main couch. Reviewers do advise that the pull-out mattress is on the thin side, so if you do entertain overnight guests often, consider adding a pillow-top mattress cover, or a couple of extra bed pillows, for a softer snooze.
The sleeper goes sleek. This sofa is a great option for those who prefer seating with a crisp look and a firm feel, eschewing bulkiness in favor of luxuriously deep seating. Plus, the queen-sized innerspring mattress inside provides a comfortable crash pad for company.
If space is tight — too tight even for a regular-sized couch — opt for this small, cushy sleeper sofa chair from West Elm so you don't have to send any out-of-town guests packing once bedtime rolls around! Available in a variety of premium fabrics, it functions as an oversized easy chair during daytime hours, and it pulls out into a comfortable twin-sized bed at night in no time at all.
Even if you only entertain occasionally, this sleeper sofa is an extra-plush mainstay for the living room. A relaxed profile with customizable, expertly-tailored upholstery, it's perfect for curling up with a book or a good show, and the innerspring queen mattress folds out easily and is comfortable enough for friends or family sleeping over for multiple nights.
There's no need give up cushy comfort just to have a pull-out bed feature. The Watson sleeper sofa is touted by reviewers for its soft cushions and easy conversion into a bed. The inflatable air mattress inside helps reduce the unit's overall weight.
This sleeper sofa from Raymour & Flanigan is a handsome pick for those who want a solid-tone leather sofa that'll only get better with time. Be advised that while the couch is incredibly comfortable for daily enjoyment, the mattress inside is thin, so add extra plushiness accordingly.

There is a look a female receives in her eyes when that babe is really appreciating a wang. It is that dreamy look that tells you, "This cock is smth special. It is doing things to her that this babe hasn't had done to her in a lengthy time." Caelea has that look on her face in these pictures…even though her husband was watching as that babe sucked and drilled this astronomical pecker. Who knows what this babe was thinking? All we know is that she is devouring that meat stick as if it were her final meal. It is inflexible to make no doubt of that previous to her divorce, Caelea at not time masturbated. That babe was trapped in a sexually unsatisfying marriage and had at not time even observed a men's magazine other than Playboy. The sexual tigress in her was waiting to break loose, and it did after her divorce…to some extent. When we asked her about her kinkiest sexual meeting, this babe replied, "I am not sure I have done that yet." Maybe this will top the list, then, Caelea. Screwing some stranger's strapon on digi camera isn't smth every mistresse does.

Contract Management: You Get What You Negotiate
As the saying goes, "You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate."

What's the Difference: RFP, RFQ and Invitation To Tender
In the world of contract management and procurement, there are a variety of ways the tendering stage can work. A key part of planning any piece of work to be done, is determining who is going to do that work; and setting out the terms of reference and evaluation criteria for awarding the contract to the winning bidder.

Manage Contracts - Not Chaos!
One of the biggest challenges most procurement professionals face, is managing the day-to-day madness of having too many things to stay on top of, and not enough information to work with. A very common frustration we hear about from procurement officers is their constant battle with "emergency procurement". A feeling as if they are always behind, in an ongoing reactive state – having to make sudden purchases with next-to-no advance planning.

Powered by Linux, open-source software and a military-grade shell, the WASP is every hacker's wet dream. In fact, on-lookers at DEFCON (the world's largest hacking convention) were utterly incapable of hiding their excitement after seeing the unmanned aerial vehicle take a couple test flights.
Taking inspiration from the Harrier Jump Jet, the Wireless Aerial Surveillance Platform (WASP) is capable of sustained flight while simultaneously cracking WiFi networks, data mining and photographing the terrain. This DIY plane is even equipped with a GSM antennae, meaning its operator would be able to eavesdrop on cellphone calls and snoop out SMS messages... not that you'd want to do that, right?
The WASP was built by two engineers in their spare time who, fuelled by a belief in creative commons, have posted detailed instructions on the UAV's design and construction. It won't be long before these things are packaged and sold to kids -- keep your wireless passwords secure!

Medical Students' and Residents' Use of Online Social Networking Tools: Implications for Teaching Professionalism in Medical Education.
Publication Title
First Monday
Publication Date
Document Type
social networking, Facebook, professionalism, medical education
This study sought to determine if and how 501 medical students and 312 residents are using Facebook at a large university in the Southeastern United States. Results reveal that medical students and residents are using Facebook and about two-thirds of users maintain public profiles. While there is variation in the types of information provide within profiles, many medical students seem unaware of or unconcerned with the possible ramifications of sharing personal information in publicly-available online profiles even though such information could impact their professional lives. Thus, this study provides data based evidence that online tools such as social networking sites should become a part of the dialogue related to preparing future physicians to meet the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGE) professionalism competency.

I fought the X and the X won
Cluj Napoca
Lydia Pribisova (Editor of Flash Art Magazine, Czech and Slovak Edition):
The international exhibition of contemporary art I FOUGHT THE X AND THE X WON was held in April 2011 in the Museum of Art in Cluj. It was curated by Dr Raphael Vella from Malta, who together with artists Dionisis Christofilogiannis (from Greece) and Adrian Scicluna (from Malta), invited 22 artists from Malta, Romania, Slovak Republic, Albania, USA, Austria and Greece.
The title of the show sounds a little bit as moral imperative or a challenge to fight for our rights and it is talking about the possibility of substitution of variable entities and about different ways of interpretation of art works. It is trying to show us the categorization of artistic research and dividing the winners and the losers. It is a testimony of relationships of power in contemporary social and cultural reality. This kind of thinking is very close to the strategy of some of the present artists. The installation Still Fight (2007) of Michal Moravcik is dealing with the never ending fight, antagonism and resistance. It is referring to permanent hidden protest, it manifests the artist's skeptic attitude toward the affirmations coming from medial and political ambient which are usually understood as facts without the critical analyses. The banal themes are often the food for politically manipulated mass media and in many cases are pretence for the hidden games of power. The similar position is given away also in the video showing the boxing woman of Austrian artist Katharina Swoboda Betty and the Camera (2011). The irony and relativity of establishment are characteristic also of the works of Albanian-American artist Helidon Gjergji, whose video The Blue Danube (2004) showed the endoscopic registration of the house-tube accompanied by the waltz-music of Strauss. Works of many artists as Adrian Scicluna, Siebren Versteeg, Dionisis Christofilogiannis, Eva Mitala and Petra Feriancová are focused on the questions of contemporary communication and its vanity, which is created by long distances, by translations and by different coding. Petra Feriancová in her sound collage Itinerario (2006) mixed two texts from two different books, which meet and communicate in some points, but in another they are flowing to be lost. The video and prints of Adrian Scicluna are
reflecting the contemporary internet-based communication, where the real present is substituted by the virtual present, which lead to the feelings of loneliness and dislocation. The main contribution of this exhibition was the confrontation of the artistic discourses from different countries and finding un-expected parallels. The show will be held again during the summer in the National Museum of Fine Art in Valetta, Malta.
a project supported by
Malta Council for Culture & the Arts, Bank of Valletta, ARTACT, VODAFONE, Japan Foundation
media partners FlashArt SK/CZ, ArtActMagazine, Radio Cluj, Skylife, Modernism, TVR Cluj, Radio Romania Cultural A large group show with over twenty artists from several countries opens on 16th April, 2011 at the National Museum of Cluj in Romania. Organised by artists Dionisis Christofilogiannis and Adrian Scicluna and curated by artist-curator Raphael Vella, the exhibition is called I Fought the X and the X Won and is inspired by a rock and roll song called "I Fought the Law" with many cover versions, notably one by the band Bobby Fuller Four in the 1960's and another by The Clash. The show proposes different situations in which one is faced by antagonistic forces and defeat or failure, and the work is extremely varied, with media ranging from video to drawing, painting and sculpture. The work included in the exhibition I Fought the X and the X Won rewrites assumed frames of reference, asking questions rather than providing answers. Some of it, like Helidon Gjergji's, Petra Feriancova's, Siebren Versteeg's and Adrian Scicluna's pieces, plays with contemporary information and communication technologies and their predicaments: translation, distance, coding, and dislocation. Katharina Swoboda's and Vince Briffa's videos struggle against time: they simulate, respectively, a three-minute boxing round and a race, but their time is fractured or fading away, like that of a boxer who gets knocked to the canvas, or a retired athlete, too old to be effective on the track of life. Gabriele Grones's painting haunts us as it also maps out meticulously the traces of time on a face, while Tarohei Nakagawa's black and white photographs and Austin Camilleri's small sculptures are the antithesis of the portrait: they hide rather than reveal identities and make us wonder whether the hidden face belongs to a representative of power or a victim.
Understandably, the effects of the media and other globalising and political forces, advertising campaigns and stereotypes also play a central role in the works of a number of artists in the show, particularly Ewa Kuras, Gabriel Brojboiu, Michal Moravcik and Dimitris Antonitsis. Embattled political histories, art-historical references, cinematic and internet-based references merge in the images of Dionisis Christofilogiannis, Radu Comsa and Raphael Vella, while Ry Fyan, Artan Shabani, Dimitris Tataris, Sharon Engelstein and Eva Mitala direct their attention to personal and collective
memories and occasionally uncanny situations and anxieties.
