“Ascension: The act of rising to an important position or higher level,” recites Chad Gilbert from his phone screen. “’Resurrection’ was the rebirth of the band, our new beginning,” he continues, referencing New Found Glory’s shift from a five piece to four. A year on from the release of that eighth studio album and the band are reissuing it. ‘Resurrection: Ascension’ is the deliberate name but beyond the bonus tracks, the new and the reworked, this album marks a band celebrating a victory. It’s one they want to tell the whole world about.
“We wanted way more people to hear it,” explains Chad of the decision to rerelease ‘Resurrection’. “ It’s also to do with the fact that a lot of people attached onto this record so much. For us, it felt like a new start to the band, us being four people. There was a lot of life left in it,” continues Jordan Pundik. “I feel like it’s our first record and when you release a debut you don’t just release it and move on. You really tour that first album for a long time. You’re driving it home,” adds Chad.
With two US headline tours already under their belt for ‘Resurrection’, New Found Glory are off out again this Fall with Yellowcard for a third run around the country. “Us together is bringing out a lot of old NFG fans, that tour is a perfect way to reintroduce people to our band,” reasons Chad.
With a back catalogue spanning eighteen years, New Found Glory cross generations. Every song they play is still relatable though. “The difference is you’re not playing and relating to your feelings from then, your relating to your feelings now,” explains Chad. “I can play ‘Hit or Miss’ and I’m not listening to the lyrics, thinking about being 18. I’m listening to the song and seeing the reaction it has on the fans. I’m relating to the fact that I’m playing this song years later and it’s relevant. I think that’s a misconception when you play an old song. You’re not supposed to relate to something you did then, you’re supposed to be a different person now. The feeling that playing it gives me now, makes me appreciate it more than when I did when I was a kid.”
There’s no misconception that a lot of deluxe reissues are a cash grab but it’s one the band are aware. It’s why they’ve made sure that ‘Resurrection: Ascension’ feels like a whole new album.
“After doing the record, we had a couple more songs in us from touring as a four piece so we bust out two new songs,” explains Chad of ‘The Crown’ and ‘The Enemy’ that are now nestled at the heart of the album. “I think people will be really surprised when they hear ‘The Crown’. It’s very different for a New Found Glory song.” Alongside the new, there’s acoustic reworking of original ‘Resurrection’ material. “It’s funny, there’s actually more guitar on the acoustic versions,” laughs Chad before explain that instead of simply doubling up on one guitar part, he wrote two. “They’re really cool and really different. I think ‘Living Hell’ is better acoustic.”
The band announced the reissue with a new version of ‘Vicious Love’ featuring Hayley Williams but that wasn’t always the plan. “’Vicious Love’ is a super big relationship centered song,” starts Chad. “It’s one of the only lovey ones on the album and it just seemed like a good song to get a female guest vocalist on. When I was talking to Hayley about it, she wanted to do it. I was actually asking her advice on who to ask and she was like ‘Don’t get anyone else, don’t mess it up. I’ll do it’.” There’s also a special version of ‘Ready & Willing’ on the way to top off ‘Resurrection: Ascension’.
“What I want people to take away from it is, you can overcome any hardship in your life, if you handle it out of your heart. You can’t do things out of fear, you can’t do things out of rage,” says Chad. “Going on as a four piece, there could have been so many things that we did for the wrong reasons, but we didn’t. We just reinvented ourselves. From our logo, we wanted to start fresh. We knew some people might not like that, but we were comfortable with that. We knew we were going to do something that we felt really good about and it worked out.”
The band are working out their next touring moves but there’s also the rumblings of new music. “Right now you’re asking when the new record is coming out or what’s going on. That’s because you’re cycled the way we’re cycled,” offers Chad. “A band puts out a record and then a year later, two years later, you’re in that cycle. Part of being secure in our position is that we need to break that cycle. Every song is very important. When talking about the new record, breaking that cycle is very important. That new record could be this year, who knows. If we start writing next week, we can record it and have it out the month after that. That’s going to be hard to do but technically it could be done. But if we don’t think of anything for three years, there’s no pressure.”
“What I love about our band is that people do feel our music is more than catchy songs,” Chad ventures. “They really relate to it, in an inspirational way. I feel like our music carries a feeling of hope. I don’t know if that naturally came along with our band name being New Found Glory but I like that. I want people to walk away, looking at us as an inspiration for doing something with their own lives.”

Hepatitis C Treatment among Recovering Heroin Users on Methadone Maintenance
Because hepatitis C virus (HCV) is
easily transmitted via contaminated needles and other drug injection equipment,
a large proportion of injection
drug users (IDUs) have chronic hepatitis C.
However, IDUs are often denied treatment for
hepatitis C due to concerns about adherence. This is the case despite
limited and conflicting data about the impact on adherence of issues such as
psychiatric conditions and concurrent illegal drug use. HCV treatment
guidelines state that IDUs should not be excluded from treatment
as a group, but that each individual should be evaluated for treatment on a
Some past studies have produced good
sustained response rates for IDUs treated with interferon-based
therapy, but results from clinical trials do not always carry over into
“real world” settings.
As reported in the September 2007
issue of the European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Diana
Sylvestre, MD, from the University of California at San Francisco and colleagues
evaluated the impact of mental health issues, active drug use, and other
potential adherence barriers in a real-world sample of recovering drug users on
methadone maintenance therapy.
The prospective observational study
included 71 patients on methadone maintenance who received interferon plus
ribavirin combination therapy in a
community-based clinic staffed by
providers with expertise in treating addiction disorders. Adherence was assessed
using monthly interviews, medication counts, and urine toxicology testing.
48 patients (68%) were adherent to anti-HCV
patients were significantly more likely than non-adherent patients to achieve a
sustained virological response (42% vs 4%,
with and without a prior psychiatric history had similar rates of adherence (64%
vs 72%, respectively; P > 0.5).
Initiation of new psychiatric
medications during HCV treatment was associated with improved adherence overall
(P = 0.02) and in patients that did not have a pre-existing psychiatric
diagnosis (P = 0.04).
a trend towards reduced adherence in patients without a period of drug
abstinence before starting HCV treatment compared with those who had been abstinent for at
least 1 month (46% vs 72%; P = 0.10).
occasional drug users were similarly adherent compared with those who were completely abstinent, patients who relapsed to
regular drug use showed a significantly lower level of adherence (P = 0.03).
“We conclude that the majority of
methadone-maintained drug users can adhere to HCV treatment, even those with
psychiatric illness and relatively limited pretreatment drug abstinence,” the
study authors wrote.
“Lack of pre-HCV treatment drug
abstinence and regular drug use during HCV treatment may be relative barriers to
medication adherence, but the initiation of psychiatric medications during HCV
treatment may be a helpful intervention,” they added.
They concluded that, “This report
provides further evidence for an individualized approach to HCV treatment that
does not categorically exclude patients with potential barriers such as mental
illness and limited drug abstinence.”

South Lanarkshire council slashes energy costs with renewables-powered datacentre
A Scottish local authority has massively reduced its carbon footprint after upgrading and moving its digital and IT services provision to a renewables-powered datacentre.
South Lanarkshire council is transforming its services and moving quicker to net zero after taking advantage of the green ‘DV1’ facility operated by DataVita in Chapelhall, near Airdrie.
The move has enabled the council to generate energy savings of 94 per cent across its services for more than 300,000 residents.
Emissions have also been cut from 91 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent to just five tonnes, a 95 per cent reduction.
Working with DataVita, Scotland’s largest datacentre and multi-cloud services provider, the council will save over 2,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of energy annually – down from 2,222 MWh to 140 MWh.
Modernising its IT operations will enable the local authority to reduce the environmental impact of digital systems by tackling excess energy usage and wastage.
Over the next five years, an estimated 12,800 MWh of energy will be saved, equivalent to the amount of electricity used annually by over 400 average homes.
The IT transformation programme is designed around a new hybrid system, combining cloud-based activities and data centre hosting at the DV1 facility in Chapelhall. The datacentre, which is the largest and only one of its kind in Scotland, uses 100 per cent renewable electricity. It also uses energy-efficient ‘free cooling’ technology, which utilises Scotland’s natural climate to maintain optimum temperatures, instead of air conditioning units.
Switching data centre locations will mean the local authority sees its power usage effectiveness (PUE) ratio improve substantially, from a rating of 2.3 to just 1.18. PUE is an industry benchmark for datacentre energy performance that measures how much energy is used by the IT equipment, with 1:1 the optimum ratio.
Brian Teaz, head of information technology at South Lanarkshire Council, said: “We have set ambitious targets including a 75 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Over the last six years we have already reduced that by more than 25 per cent. There is still scope to do more, however, and this new IT approach is a good example of how modernisation can come with real environmental benefits.
“In recent years, as services have been digitised and moved online, our IT footprint has expanded quickly to give residents smarter and more flexible ways to access critical functions. The time was right to upgrade our digital infrastructure in line with new requirements and working with DataVita has enabled us to address sustainability at the same time, making significant carbon savings.”
DataVita was the first Scottish IT company to sign the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact last year making a formal commitment to a carbon-neutral future. The company has further plans to enhance the sustainability of its DV1 data centre by taking the facility off-grid, generating electricity from wind and battery-powered back-up systems.
The contract was awarded through the Scottish Government’s Cloud Services Framework, established in 2019 to support the government’s digital strategy. IT supplied through the framework includes public and private cloud, co-location, hybrid cloud, community cloud, and cloud transition activities.
Danny Quinn, managing director at DataVita, said: “Sustainability is high on the agenda for most organisations but there is a common misconception that making changes either comes with a downgrade in terms of performance or substantial financial investment. Our recent experience with South Lanarkshire Council proves otherwise, and we have simultaneously upgraded the IT systems and reduced its carbon footprint. With the capability to deliver some of the most advanced technology currently available, our team has designed a flexible future-proofed system to cater for the council’s needs in the years to come.”

Vivino is Denmark-based startup that is looking to change the way people enjoy wine around the world. According to one of Vivino's investors, Niels Vejrup Carlsen of SEED Capital, the global wine market is four times that of the music industry and Vivino is aligned well to take on that market. The company raised a round earlier this year from SEED Capital in Denmark to go global with their new mobile app.
The new version of the mobile app allows users to get information and recommendations on almost any wine. The app already boasts a database of more than half a million bottles. The app is free and available for Android and iOS -based devices.
The Vivino app works so that once consuming a wine, you can take a photo of the bottle and then register it into your library, where you can rate it and remember it the next time. The website also has social extensions allowing you to follow the most savvy wine enthusiasts and see what they are enjoying. Each wine in the system is also ranked within the winery, region as well as globally.
Nokia has today announced its "third and fourth" steps in its realigning of its organisation to meet the new strategic goals of the company. Basically this means that Nokia will look to lower its headcount by about 7000 in total, while 3000 of these will move to work with Accenture.

During the Great Depression, legendary British economist Keynes advocated using government money to fill the economic void until consumer spending and business investment recovered. But what happens when governments can't do that anymore? You've arrived at "The Keynesian Endpoint": when the money has run out before the economy has been rescued.

It’s a no go, says Estwanik
For the first time in six years a new men’s champion will be crowned in the Appleby Bermuda Day Half Marathon Derby.
Five-time champion Chris Estwanik made the official call not to defend his title after visiting a specialist late yesterday afternoon to determine if there was any chance of competing with a torn tendon in his right knee during this year’s 13.1 mile event.
Prior to making the final call the American’s dreams of a record six consecutive men’s title hung by a thread after a MRI scan revealed the injury which he suffered during a training run at the weekend.
“It’s a no go,” Estwanik told
The Royal Gazette. “Torn for sure so rest is the name of the game.”
Estwanik has ruled the annual road running spectacle with an iron fist since storming to his maiden victory at the first attempt in 2008 in a record time of 1:08.25 on the remeasured racecourse.
Despite Estwanik’s unavailability, race committee president Gina Tucker anticipates another exciting event this year.
“Chris’ absence makes the race very interesting,” she said. “The contenders are gearing up to put their all into it and it should be very exciting to watch.”
She added: “It’s unfortunate this has happened (Estwanik’s injury) but it is what it is. The race is going to be very exciting without doubt.”
Estwanik’s absence has thrown this year’s race wide open with professional triathlete Tyler Butterfield among the firm favourites to take top honours among the men’s field.
Others expected to be thick in the hunt include Chayce Smith, policeman Stephen Allen and veteran Jay Donawa.
“It will be nice to crown a new champ,” Estwanik said. “The community is great here.”
Last month saw the 33-year old runner achieve a Bermuda best at the ill-fated Boston Marathon.
Estwanik placed 21st overall in a Bermuda record time of 2:19.55, surpassing the previous mark over the 26.2-mile distance set by Peter Lever in Detroit in 1972.
His time was nearly two minutes shy of the ‘B’ Qualifying Standard (2:18.00) for 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro Brazil.
This year’s Boston Marathon was marred by two bomb blasts near the finish line that left three spectators dead and more than 200 others wounded.
Appleby Bermuda Day Half Marathon Derby race committee President Tucker confirmed that some race participants will wear black ribbons as a “show of support” for the victims of the Boston Marathon that made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

AIDS Drug Assistance Programs Support New ACA Coverage Options for Thousands of People Living with HIV
State Health Departments Navigate ACA Enrollment Challenges While Strengthening Insurance Purchasing Infrastructure and Addressing Unmet Need
Washington, DC – Today, the National Alliance of State
ADAP Clients, June 2013 (Provided by the Kaiser Family Foundation)
and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) released new data emphasizing the essential role the Ryan White Program, specifically the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), plays for people living with HIV (PLWH), including those who have insurance and those who are uninsured. During the inaugural open enrollment period of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), ADAPs transitioned over 25,000 clients to new coverage options. This represents a significant portion of the estimated 56,000 previously uninsured Ryan White clients.

Arba Minch is a rural town in the foothills of the Rift Valley in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region (SNNPR) of Ethiopia. In addition to the town, many people live in the surrounding villages, supporting themselves through farming and fishing. In SNNPR, the prevalence of HIV among adults is estimated at 1.5%. The Ethiopian government has made a strong commitment to provision of life-saving antiretroviral therapy (ART), with 249,174 adults and 16,000 children receiving ART as of 2012. However, among those enrolling in HIV care, approximately 25% were no longer retained in care after one year.

March 23 marked the fourth anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). While it is undeniable that the ACA’s inaugural open enrollment period has had its share of challenges, it is important to recognize that the movement to ensure that all Americans have equitable access to health care transcends the technology failures of HealthCare.gov. Over the past four years, state HIV/AIDS programs have worked to adapt and innovate to meet needs of people living with HIV and co-occurring conditions in our evolving health care landscape. Through the use of innovative solutions (see Raising the Bars), support from colleagues and staff, and an enduring commitment to the broader public health imperative presented by HIV, state AIDS directors have leveraged the ACA to achieve remarkable results, including: Continue reading

Today, NASTAD joins in the observation of National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD) to recognize the impact of HIV on women and girls across the country. Since 2006, this day has been observed to raise awareness and encourage communities to take action in the fight against HIV/AIDS. The facts are clear, of the 50,000 adults and adolescents newly diagnosed with HIV in 2011, one in five was female. Among women, women of color account for nearly two-thirds of new AIDS diagnoses, and at some point in their lifetimes, 1 in 32 Black women and 1 in 106 Latinas will be diagnosed with HIV. Most of these women, roughly 86%, were infected with HIV by having condomless, heterosexual sex. Educating women, across all communities is an important piece of preventing further spread of the epidemic, and that makes this year’s theme, “Share Knowledge. Take Action,” that much more important.

Do we choose who we fall in love with?
It is also true, however, that when falling in love you are in a unique position within your own life to allow this to happen.
The combination of timing, compatibility, attraction, and your choice to be open to love makes this all possible.
Being in that position is a choice you make, even if it is an unconscious one..
Is it good to fall in love?
There are lots of brilliant things about falling in love – and some scary ones too. The evidence suggests very strongly that being surrounded by people who love you is very good for your health – but it’s also clear that this can lead to physical and emotional pain if those relationships end for any reason.
Are emotions sensations?
An emotion is comprised of a flow of visceral sensations and changes in the body. There are basic emotions, like anger, fear, sadness disgust and surprise. When these are experienced in combinations and over time, feelings result.
What is a sensation?
1a : a mental process (such as seeing, hearing, or smelling) resulting from the immediate external stimulation of a sense organ often as distinguished from a conscious awareness of the sensory process — compare perception. b : awareness (as of heat or pain) due to stimulation of a sense organ.
Is love a feeling or an emotion?
Love certainly feels like an emotion; an incredibly strong one. But in the scientific community, the conservative definition of an emotion is a facial expression. Happiness, sadness, disgust, anger, surprise: these and the other basic emotions can be seen easily on the face. … Like hunger, love is a drive.
What type of feeling is love?
People who are in love generally feel a powerful sense of empathy toward their beloved, feeling the other person’s pain as their own and being willing to sacrifice anything for the other person.
What are the 7 human emotions?
Here’s a rundown of those seven universal emotions, what they look like, and why we’re biologically hardwired to express them this way:Anger. … Fear. … Disgust. … Happiness. … Sadness. … Surprise. … Contempt.
What are the 10 basic emotions?
With that said, we prepared in cooperation with Meowessay 10 of the most universal emotions and what they mean:Happiness. One of the first core emotions we all experience is happiness. … Sadness. … Anger. … Anticipation. … Fear. … Loneliness. … Jealousy. … Disgust.More items…•
What is an example of sensation?
The definition of a sensation is any sort of impressions of the senses, a state of excitement or something that is exciting and lively. An example of sensation is the smell of an apple pie scented candle. An example of sensation is a bright and colorful circus performance.
Which comes first feelings or emotions?
The emotion comes first and is universal. What kind of feeling(s) it will then become varies enormously from person to person and from situation to situation because feelings are shaped by individual temperament and experience. Two people can feel the same emotion but label it under different names.
Are sensations the same as feelings?
A sensation is a message sent from your body to your brain to let it know what’s going on out there in the periphery. … These all start in our bodies and then move up to the brain. Feelings: Feelings (or emotions) are messages that start in our brains and move down to our bodies.
Can you make someone fall in love?
Offering support is very important to creating true love between two people. Most people want to be in relationships to begin with because they like having someone to support them. If you can be supportive and caring to your significant other, this will go a long way towards getting the person to fall in love with you.
Why do fall in love so easily?
Possibly the biggest reason someone gets swept away in love so easily is because they are so keen to find it. They just want to be in love. They want to feel that warm feeling. … Just because you want to find love so badly, doesn’t mean you have to settle for just anyone.
What are feelings for a person?
Strong feelings for a person can encompass any number of emotions, not least of all companionship, empathy and conviviality. These feelings are just as — if not more — rewarding than love, yet we don’t seem to place them on the same altar.

Author's Note: In the midst of the simulated corona pandemic I reported the growing psychologically effects that prolong lock-downs have on people. This is a followup article expanding on the growing sentiment of fear, uncertainty and doubt playing out in the public spectacle of American life. Read: A Divided Country Struggles with Confusion, Fear & Freedom
Three months of fear-driving narratives, conflicting expert advise and economic uncertainty have only exacerbated the mental health crisis in America. The Washington Post continues the story with its latest report that states..."A third of Americans are showing signs of clinical anxiety or depression, Census Bureau data shows..."
"It's understandable given what's happening. It would be strange if you didn't feel anxious and depressed," Oquendo said. "This virus is not like a hurricane or earthquake or even terrorist attack. It's not something you can see or touch, and yet the fear of it is everywhere."

What is the CDC's survey about?
Follow the data here: Household Pulse Survey
To rapidly monitor recent changes in mental health, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) partnered with the Census Bureau on an experimental data system called the Household Pulse Survey. This 20-minute online survey was designed to complement the ability of the federal statistical system to rapidly respond and provide relevant information about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. Data collection began on April 23, 2020 and is anticipated to continue for 90 days.
Mental Health & The Political Theater
This protracted political theater exposed the underlying frailty in American society: we are losing the American dream. While we are isolated in our homes, separated from each other and in constant fear the agenda of power continues unimpeded. Big businesses continue to consolidate the economy, the bankers keep pumping more fake money and the politicians are becoming more dictatorial.
The CDC's data indicates that these three months of the new abnormal are psychologically impacting a growing number of Americans. Moreover, the economic consequences of the lock-down are causing some people to consider suicide & drugs as a solution. As if that wasn't enough the political division across people in America continues to deepen and intensify .
The invisible, omnipotent and lingering enemy is our unconscious emotional complexes that keep us in a rigid armor of self-deception. The half-truths, divisive narratives and the relentless crisis deceptively reported by the mainstream media is the other part of this puzzle. The power of nightmares combined with the [ignorance of self] creates a powerfully destructive social force. This synergistic psychic force
if left unchecked by common sense, reason and self-knowledge will manifest in seemingly unrelated ways...and eventually the phantom menace will choke-hold the collective unconscious of the crowd. This pattern begs the question...
What is the End Goal?
The cumulative effect of engineered crises inspired a general distrust of people, open spaces and the compromise of freedom for the promise of security. The two previous decades of the American political landscape became a spectacle in which people abandoned inconvenient truths for the sake of the greater good. While the corona-fear-driven narrative may have underlined the fear, anxiety and division in American politics...the source of the problem originated in the hearts & minds of the average person.
The simulation of existential threats inspire fear in people who are unprepared to deal with the unknown. Consequently, they give their consent and personal authority to "experts," politicians and any other fraudster that sells them on a immediate & convenient solution. This convenient habit passed on from generation to generation kept us separated from the active process of consensus reality. People retreated themselves to comfortable echo-chamber where they were "free" to pursue their personal lifestyle...as long as it didn't conflict with the agenda of technocratic control.
Society at large is turning away from moral truths and instead of asking, "What is the right thing to do?" We ask each other, "What will keep me safe?" In this dialectic of unenlightened self-interest we are kept in check with half-truths which purposefully inspires conflict between sexes, races, classes and age groups.
If we are to ever transcend the technocratic matrix of control then we must decimate society's pathology of fear with courage, reason and above all compassion.

This was my first attempt at making a front door wreath with faux flowers. I tend to shy away from faux anything but I knew I didn’t want any of my orange faux flower wreaths up quite yet. I’m still clinging onto the last golden rays of warmth. So I perused the aisles of Michaels on Labor Day (to take advantage of those sales prices mind you) and found these real dried bundles of grasses and seed pods which added that natural element I was after. The white flowers are faux magnolias and they are just lovely. I ripped the faded orange flowers right off an old wreath to reuse the grapevine frame. Amazing how many fingers you can burn with hot glue and still keep going…
All the entry needed were some wheat bundles which I already had and some real pumpkins and foraged leaves. Am I the only crazy person that takes a pair of clippers with them on walks?
The family room is my happy place. It’s where we spend our time, where I cuddle babies and read them books and (believe it or not) watch tv from that sneaky hidden tv. It’s light and bright and full of comfort. I loved the idea of pulling in my favorite blues with the oh-so-fall pops of wheat yellow.
This was one of my few fall purchases and it’s just perfect. My sweet friends at PCB Home custom made this sign for me. I wanted to incorporate my favorite word “lovely” into a fall sign. Didn’t it turn out perfectly?
This beautiful fresh wreath is by ScarletSmile on Etsy. I sprayed mine with a clear spray lacquer to better keep the berries in place. But if you store this properly, ie don’t let you’re husband stack Christmas decorations on top of it, it will last year after year.
A sweet little grouping of white pumpkins in a glass vase is all this space really needed and one of my favorite fall tricks. When in doubt, stack white pumpkins.
These 3 mini straw wreaths were easy to make, inexpensive and add such a lovely fall touch to the room while still being subtle. Click here for the DIY blog post so you can make your own.
My husband has affectionately started calling me “the pillow lady.” And I quip back that at least it isn’t cats. Now I know I’m not the only one out there who has a love affair with pillows. They are just such an easy refresh to a space. The sweet dash pillow is from one of my favorite shops on Etsy, Motif Pillows.
A cozy blanket, some pumpkin groupings and some cute little gourds in a pedestal bowl all bring little touches of fall to the kitchen.
The mini eucalyptus wreaths on the back of the chairs are just sprigs of eucalyptus hot glued into the mini grapevine wreaths from Michaels.
These real white painted pumpkins are the feature of the tablescape. They were fun to make, relatively quick, and other than a steady hand to do the stripes, require little artistic ability. It’s me we’re talking about…distracted momma to two crazy toddler boys. Once again, another DIY that will be up soon on the blog, so stay tuned!
Holidays and seasons through the eyes of the little kiddos are really what makes decorating and celebrating so fun for me. My little boys oooo and ahhh over every little change to their space which makes it fun. When two little white boos found their way into their IKEA kitchen it was met with squeals of delight. And before I knew it I was fishing them out of the potty. Whelp. Such is life with toddlers.
If you’ve taken a peek around, you’ve probably seen these book shelves all decked out for the season. I like to change up the books to reflect the seasons and holidays and love love a special garland to add some fun. This year I made the felt pumpkin and acorn garland. You can find the DIY post with free printables here.
Next up on the fall home tour is the lovely Alma of Almafied, head on over to see her lovely fall home.

Last night, with the help of high-precision weapons, a massive attack was carried out on military installations in the capital of the square.
British cruise missiles in Donbas intercept quickly but accurately
The western grouping of troops in the Kupyansk direction swept away two platoons and four vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The grouping of troops “Center” in the Krasno-Limansky direction disabled up to 65 militants, two infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled guns “Akatsiya”. The southern grouping of troops in the Donetsk direction inflicted such damage on the enemy: 215 nationalists, five armored personnel carriers, seven vehicles, Msta-B and D-30 howitzers. In the South-Donetsk and Zaporizhia directions, 135 “warriors of light”, three cars, two Msta-B howitzers and Akatsia self-propelled guns were sent into the dark. Up to 25 Ukrainian servicemen, self-propelled guns “Acacia” and five vehicles were destroyed in the Kherson direction. The Russian Aerospace Forces in the Varvarovka and Krasnoarmeysk areas in the DPR shot down the Su-24 and Su-25 of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Air defense forces intercepted 7 Storm Shadow missiles, three Harm anti-radar missiles, 7 Himars MLRS and 22 Ukrainian drones. Perhaps Sunak sent decommissioned missiles to his tragicomic friend?
kyiv’s military installations were out of luck
Last night, with the help of high-precision weapons, a massive attack was carried out on military installations in the capital of the square. In particular, according to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, an American Patriot air defense system was attacked in kyiv. They were hit with the Kinzhal hypersonic missile system. Just below the rib. Although the Ukrainian media, as usual, report that all Russian missiles were shot down.
And who are the judges – and the judges are independent, incorruptible
The judges of the Supreme Court Square yesterday expressed their distrust in the President of the Supreme Court Vsevolod Knyazev. He is suspected of accepting bribes. He went up to three million dollars. The decision was supported by 138 of the 142 judges who met for an extraordinary hearing. The day before, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) detained Knyazev alone for a $3 million bribe. He took office as President of the Supreme Court on December 1, 2021. It is clear that it was necessary to have time to grab fast and a lot, but I lost my vigilance. You should learn from the senior comrades on Bankovaya.
In kyiv, they decided that they would be cyber-protected
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry announced that kyiv has officially joined the NATO Center for Cyber Defense Cooperation (CCDCOE). The Ukrainian flag was raised near the headquarters of the Cyber Center in the Estonian capital. The Ukrainian capital thanked the sponsoring countries of the CCDCOE and expressed “special thanks” to the Estonian government. It is curious that the NATO Center for Cooperation in the field of cybersecurity was founded 15 years ago at the initiative of this particular Baltic state. Well, now in kyiv they can sleep easy at their computers – the cyber border is blocked. In a reliable Estonian castle.
Independent suddenly ran out of fuel
Nikolai Kolesnik, the independent deputy energy minister, said the country’s fuel supply is too small. According to him, in the event of a cessation of supplies, kyiv will be able to meet its needs for petroleum products from 10 to 30 days. Kolesnik laments: “This is critically small. The risk of another attempt to deprive us of fuel cannot be ruled out.” His department plans to create a minimum stock of petroleum products for up to 90 days of average daily net imports. good plans Only the real experts wouldn’t advise you to plan three months in advance.
South Africa wants peace in Ukraine, but kyiv doubts
Cyril Ramaphosa, South Africa’s president, said Washington, London and the EU have been briefed on the African Independent Peace Initiative. According to Ramaphosa, the plan received “cautious support”. He added that Moscow has agreed to accept the mission of African leaders in the peace initiative, while kyiv appears to be ready but is hesitant. And he said that South Africa would not accept any of the parties to the conflict. In general, he advocates an urgent cessation of hostilities. Hello Young!
The first lady asks Koreans to send something
Elena Zelenskaya, the wife of the sixth president of the independents, while he asks for planes in Europe, met with the president of South Korea, Yun Suk-yeol. He thus requested “non-lethal military assistance” for his heroic country. For example, mine detectors. President Yun Sok-yeol responded by saying that South Korea would provide active assistance to kyiv. Zelenska also called for the involvement of South Korean companies in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. For example, in Kherson, where, according to her, many ethnic Koreans live. It immediately becomes clear that the first lady of Ukraine has not been in Kherson for a long time. Koreans don’t live in the dump arranged by Ragul.
The UN suddenly found out that Budanov is a terrorist
Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN secretary general, said the UN opposes any act of terrorism. This is how he reacted in a briefing to a request to comment on the statements by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, that his structure was behind the attacks against some media outlets in Russia, and that Russians should be killed all over the world. I didn’t see that quote. But, of course, we are opposed to any terrorist attack,” Dujarric said. I haven’t read it, but I do.
Generals criticize Zelensky for myopia
Serhiy Krivonos, a retired general in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and former deputy commander of special operations forces, said Zelensky made a serious miscalculation in believing that the Ukrainian military could easily resist Russia. In an interview with the Fabrika Novosti TV channel, Krivonos said: “Last year, Zelensky told how we broke the back of the Russian army. More than a year has passed since his words, and military operations continue calmly. It is precisely in the erroneous assessment of the state of the Russian Armed Forces, according to the Ukrainian general, the reason for the subsequent failures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. America discovered.

Sub Slab Depressurization Systems (SSDSs) and vapor barriers are used to counteract vapor intrusion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into occupied buildings and protect the health of residents and workers. Cooperstown is a leading expert in this emerging field. Our services range from site assessments of contamination to identify the need for an SSDS, to system design, construction, implementation, and operation. Hire Cooperstown – and breathe easier!
let’s talk possibilities:
SSDS SSVS Vapor Intrusion Vapor Barriers Telemetry
Nothing is more important than the safety of the air we breathe. Unfortunately, environmental contamination is a common fact in our industrialized society. Releases of oil and hazardous materials from spills, tank leaks, past industrial disposal practices, or accidents have resulted in conditions that potentially can affect the health of residents and workers. Whether you live or work near a current or former gasoline station, dry cleaner, Brownfield site, or even a residence heated by oil, these chemicals could impact the safety of your indoor environment.
Cooperstown Environmental LLC is an acknowledged leader in the design, installation, and operation of a complete range of vapor intrusion solutions including SSDs, sub-slab ventilation systems, vapor barriers, and telemetry to protect against breathing contaminated vapors.

Frequently asked questions
Vapor intrusion (VI) occurs when vapors from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in soil or groundwater enter a building through cracks, holes, utilities, or other penetrations in the foundation. When contaminant vapors enter into occupied spaces, whether residences or workplaces, occupants can be subjected to increased risks from these harmful vapors.
Conceptually, a sub slab depressurization or mitigation system is quite simple.
A pipe, typically PVC, is installed through the building’s concrete floor slab (or basement floor) to create a “vapor extraction point”. The vapor extraction point is then vented outside through the wall or roof. A blower or fan is then connected to the piping, which generates suction, creating a vacuum beneath the building. The vacuum draws in contaminated vapors from the subsurface soil and sends them up the pipe to the atmosphere, where they dissipate. Collectively, this is called a sub-slab depressurization system.
The system needs to be designed to ensure that the vacuum is strong enough to prevent vapors from entering the building. In certain scenarios, the system can operate passively (without the blower or fan), as a sub slab ventilation system.
Source: New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
Depending on the chemical, the concentrations, and the flow rate, the air being vented from the system may require treatment (typically with granular activated carbon) prior to discharge.
A site investigation and engineering analysis must be performed as part of the vapor intrusion solution and be designed by competent experts. Subsurface gas transport is highly variable and can be strongly affected by the building’s construction, the presence of subsurface barriers (e.g., old foundation walls), mechanical ventilation, cooling and heating systems in the building, the condition of the floor slab, and other variables.
VI systems are similar to radon systems, which are common across the US and indeed, around the world. The primary difference between radon and VI systems are that a VI system is more engineered to result in a higher level of protection and address chemicals rather than a naturally-occurring gas.
The first step is to determine the location and concentrations of the chemicals in the subsurface. Then a pilot study or pressure field extension test using Pressure Points will determine how many extraction points are required, where they should be located, and what flow rate and vacuum is needed to ensure full protection. When properly designed, installed, and operated, these vapor intrusion systems are fully capable of rendering indoor air concentrations of the contaminants to below detectable levels. Cooperstown has scores of successful projects where our services have secured the safety of building occupants. A sub slab depressurization system (SSDS) is a proven, effective solution to ensure that occupied spaces remain safe for humans and pets.
Research has shown that exposure to contaminants by breathing the indoor air often is a greater health threat than direct skin contact to contaminants in the soil or even from drinking contaminated groundwater. For that reason, the disposal site cleanup standards set by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) are very conservative. In Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) regulations dictate that Licensed Site Professionals (LSPs) – professionals trained and licensed by the state to oversee site cleanups – consider indoor air contamination as part of the site closure process. Other nearby states including Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island have similar regulatory requirements intended to protect residents and workers.
Regulations set by the states have led to a vast increase in the need for SSDSs and vapor barriers over the past several years. A professional specializing in vapor intrusion services is often brought in to design and install the optimal vapor intrusion solution.
Cooperstown has extensive experience in designing, installing, and optimizing vapor intrusion solutions.
Telemetry units allow remote monitoring of the SSDS and notify the property owner and the regulatory agency if the SSDS malfunctions. Notification of a problem signals the owner to restore the system to service, thereby providing the intended protection to building occupants.
Cooperstown Environmental performs system design and specification, value engineering, and construction observation for large commercial- and industrial-scale radon systems.


The youngest active stealth bomber in the U.S. turns 15 this year, and the other 19 B-2s in the Air Force fleet are nearly five years older. Meanwhile, the integrated defense systems they face have become much more sophisticated. Multi-static radar, which is now relatively common, is so sensitive that it can detect certain stealth craft. To stay ahead of such defense systems, the Air Force has budgeted $3.7 billion over the next five years to develop a successor to the B-2 that could be active by 2020. Actual designs of the new bomber are classified, but some secrets are already out.
Patents and bid proposals from Northrop Grumman, maker of the B-2, suggest that the new bomber will be narrower than the B-2 but maintain the familiar flying wing design, which reduces radar reflection by minimizing hard edges. Engineers are also testing new types of radar-absorbing coatings that could be customized to individual defense systems. And so a picture of the next generation of stealth bombers is beginning to emerge.
Most stealth coatings consist of a radar-absorbing material, typically a form of iron, suspended in paint. But they are heavy (which lowers fuel efficiency), need to be reapplied frequently, and don’t absorb all radar frequencies. Ceno Technologies, a particles-science company in Sanborn, New York, has developed a lighter, more durable coating that uses hollow ceramic spheres, called cenospheres. Because the spheres can be covered in carbon, silver or other metals that absorb slightly different wavelengths of radar, the coating can be customized to deceive specific radar systems.
The B-2 has two semi-flush air-intake vents, the hard edges of which can reflect radar. In one design seen in a patent from Northrop Grumman, the new bomber has four small vents rather than two large ones. The smaller vents can be buried more deeply in the wing, reducing the possibility of radar returns.
To confuse radar defense systems, the new bomber will probably carry something like the Miniature Air Launched Decoy made by Raytheon. The modified drones use radar reflectors to create bomber-like signatures that divert attention from the actual bomber. The decoys fly on a preprogrammed course for up to 575 miles and may carry radar jammers to further confuse air defenses.
In one design from Northrop Grumman, engineers included a canard wing on the plane’s nose, which would provide extra lift during takeoff and flight, allowing a smaller bomber to carry a heavier weapons payload. Because its straight lines and hard angles would reflect radar, the canard wing will most likely be designed to fold flush with the bomber’s body as the craft comes within range of defense systems.
The new bomber will most likely have a single weapons bay, as opposed to the twin bays on the B-2. It will still be able to carry conventional GPS-guided JDAM missiles, nuclear warheads and even the new 30,000-pound, bunker-busting Massive Ordnance Penetrator, but a single bay would reduce the cost of manufacturing—a major concern for designers on a relatively tight budget.

NOTE: In 2018, ConsumerLab.com february published its summary of CBD and Hemp Oils and Pills, providing tests, comparisons, and reviews of popular CBD-containing supplements, such as for instance natural oils and capsules, for individuals and animals, and updated information on CBD. CL also tested hempseed oils included in its summary of seed oil supplements as resources of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids.
Efficacy: Cannabidiol (CBD) is just a mixture produced by cannabis (a hemp plant also referred to as cannabis). However, unlike other compounds present in cannabis, such as for instance THC, cannabidiol is certainly not thought to be a compound that is psychoactive perception, and behavior. Initial proof implies CBD may reduce anxiety, modestly certain measures of dystonia (a motion disorder), and glaucoma (Health Canada 2013).
A placebo-controlled medical test found a high day-to-day dose of CBD (20 mg per kg of weight, i.e., hundreds of milligrams) to cut back the regularity of convulsions in a unusual kind of epilepsy referred to as Dravet problem in children and adults, even though it ended up being additionally related to a greater price of undesireable effects including diarrhoea, vomiting, tiredness, pyrexia, somnolence, and unusual results on liver-function tests (Devinsky, brand New Eng J Med 2017). Likewise, exactly the same high day-to-day dosage paid down how many fall seizures among people who have treatment-resistant Lennox-Gastaut problem in a 3-month research. Seizures every month reduced 44% with CBD when compared with 22% with placebo; nonetheless, once more, those using CBD also had an increased price of negative effects including diarrhea, somnolence, fever, reduced appetite, and vomiting (Thiele, Lancet 2018 ).
A research of high-dose CBD (1,000 mg day that is per among grownups with schizophrenia discovered that adding CBD in place of placebo to current treatments for six days reduced psychotic symptoms and caused a trend, while not statistically significant, toward enhanced performance on intellectual tasks. In this research, CBD was presented with in 2 doses that are divided early early morning and night) and had been well tolerated without any escalation in undesireable effects (McGuire, Am J Psy 2017).
Legality: Although CBD isn’t psychoactive, it’s not allowed to be offered an ingredient in health supplements, since the Food And Drug Administration considers it an investigational brand new medication. (Note: If an ingredient is marketed as a health health supplement before the Food And Drug Administration authorizing its research as being a medication, it might keep on being marketed as being a health health supplement, but this is far from the truth with CBD, based on the FDA). Two conditions which is why CBD happens to be or perhaps is being examined as a drug that is new cancer tumors discomfort and, as noted above, Dravet problem (view a list right right here of completed, ongoing, and planned studies with cannabidiol). In Canada, cannabidiol is a managed substance.
Inspite of the proven fact that CBD can not be legitimately sold when you look at the U.S. as a health supplement, many CBD items are available. These generally include oils and capsules offered as supplements and CBC waters offered as meals. In February 2016, the U.S. Food And Drug Administration issued warning letters to eight businesses offering items containing cannabidiol. The Food And Drug Administration additionally published the quantities of CBD, THC as well as other cannabis substances it discovered within these items and the ones tested in 2015 (follow this link and choose the to view) year. Numerous services and products failed to support the amounts of CBD they claimed. The FDA cautions that “Consumers should beware buying and using such services and products.” Most products included really small levels of CBD — much like what exactly is typically present in hemp oil (about 0.0025% CBD) while some included large levels (25% to 35per cent CBD) yielding doses comparable to those utilized in medical studies (typically 200 mg or even more each day).
Exactly why hemp oils wouldn’t be anticipated to include much CBD is the fact that hemp oil is normally created from hemp seeds (in other words., hempseed oil), that incorporate small CBD. CBD just isn’t discovered within into the seed (while some may contaminate the area); it really is principally based in the plants and, to a smaller degree, top of the leaves of this hemp plant. an oil that is”cbd item is usually an oil, such as for instance from hemp seed or other sources, to which a CBD extract (from hemp plants) was added (Mead, Epilepsy & Behavior 2017). NOTE: In February 2018, ConsumerLab.com published its article on CBD and Hemp natural Oils and Pills, providing tests, evaluations, and reviews of popular CBD-containing supplements, such as for example oils and capsules, for individuals and pets, and updated details about CBD. CL also tested hempseed oils included in its writeup on seed oil supplements as resources of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids.
A minumum of one vendor of CBD supplements into the public, PlusCBD LTD, generally seems to declare that is certainly not unlawful to offer the products if they’re produced from “industrial” or “agricultural” hemp. Industrial hemp is usually a more substantial plant with increased stalk much less leaves and flowers than which used to create marijuana or CBD for medical usage. It really is grown because of its dietary fiber (for textiles) and seeds (as meals and oil), which may be suprisingly low in THC (not as much as 0.3%) and CBD. It is a fact that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has stated that CBD in trace quantities from cannabis stalk or seeds just isn’t a substance that is controlled as opposed to CBD based on cannabis flower which will be a controlled substance — despite the substance being the exact same. Nonetheless, this doesn’t appear to bypass the Food And Drug Administration’s place that CBD cbd oil can not be offered as health supplement. It might additionally appear tough to get big amounts of CBD from industrial hemp or cannabis stalk.
Numerous states are in possession of medical marijuana laws that permit products with a high CBD content become sold by authorized dispensaries and used by residents for medical purposes suggested with a doctor. In addition, a few states without medical marijuana legislation allow items that are saturated in CBD ( ag e.g., at the least 5%, 10%, or 15% CBD) and reduced in THC (typically lower than 0.3%) to be utilized for particular medical purposes (typically intractable epilepsy) as authorized or recommended with a medical practioner (See listing of states on ProCon.org). Nevertheless, these state guidelines don’t result in the sale that is general of services and products appropriate, plus some especially need that these products be purchased out-of-state.
Unwanted effects and security issues: CBD can cause side-effects and interact with specific medicines and conditions, although these results have typically been reported just with high day-to-day intake, i.e., hundreds of milligrams daily.
CBD at a dosage of 300 mg has been confirmed to aggravate apparent symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (Consroe, Int J Neurosci, 1986).
CBD must certanly be combined with caution with sedative and sleep-inducing medicines, as it can improve their impacts.

Something’s got to give when unbeaten teams clash and today, you give the Peterborough Lakers their due.
Peterborough scored twice in the final minute, getting goals from Kyle Buchanan and Bryce Sweeting to lead the Lakers past Six Nations, 7-6, last night at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
It’s the first loss of the season for the Chiefs and keeps the Lakers unbeaten, which keeps both teams tied atop the Major Series table with 10 points apiece. And last night’s meeting was the first of just 2 scheduled for the regular season. The Lakers and Chiefs won’t play against until July 25 at Six Nations, so Lakers fans certainly got their money’s worth last night.
Holden Cattoni was the only Peterborough player with more than 1 goal, scoring twice to support the defensive work of goalie Matt Vinc. Meanwhile, Craig Point scored twice for Six Nations, which had Dillon Ward in goal.

Rather than going through my notes and highlighting everything that jumped out at me like I did with my previous visit, I’m going to go through the two or three groupings I enjoyed the most both in terms of the parallels they offered as well as the maps they showed. The Rumsey webpage includes links to the excellent catalog and I totally suggest downloading the high-definition PDF.
Baron F.W. von Egloffstein, Geological map and profiles of some of the principal mining districts of Mexico, 1864
Tauba Auerbach, Untitled (Fold), 2010.
We’ll start with two pieces that best demonstrate the spirit of the exhibition in Baron F.W. von Egloffstein’s map of Mexican mining districts and Tauba Auerbach’s Fold series. Von Egloffstein’s shaded relief maps are a great example of how maps make a two-dimensional surface look three-dimensional. This is not the first such map but it’s both an early example and von Egloffstein is apparently somewhat of an inventor in this category.
Tauba Auerbach meanwhile paints a folded canvas with spray paint that mimics raking light so hat the resulting stretched canvas maintains the image of the earlier folds and still looks wrinkled.
Both pieces look three-dimensional and just ask to be touched even though they’re actually flat. And in both cases the intent of the craft is to actually use this shading to take advantage how our eyes can mislead us in how they interpret a two-dimensional image.
American Airlines Inc., Air Map, 1943
Richard Long, A Seven Day Circle of Ground, Seven Days Walking Within and Imaginary Circle 5 ½ Miles Wide, Dartmoor, England, 1984.
My favorite grouping were a selection of maps and artworks that removed maps’ attachment to geography and replaced it with other spatial and temporal relations. Maps aren’t just about seeing where things are in relation to each other, they frequently correspond to travel time and reflect our understanding of when we’ll get someplace.
At one level, these aren’t maps anymore because they no longer feature any geography. At another level, they absolutely are since geography isn’t the point. By removing the geography we’re forced to think about the world in a different way where the specific pathway no longer matters.
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Weather Bureau, (United States) Weather Map, 1901.
On Kawara, I Went (detail), 1968–79.
I also particularly liked pairing a couple maps that worked as small multiples. Sometimes one map isn’t enough and instead you need to see a series of maps. Pairing a series of weather maps with On Kawara is brilliant. One map is boring. Even two is pretty weak. Four though? We’re starting to see how things can be interesting.
What happened this day? What happened that one? Our brains start to fill in stories and connect dots even with this small of a sample set. The map information itself ceases to be the point and instead becomes the context for the actual data that changes day-to-day. It’s a neat trick.
There are so many other great groups. A Trevor Paglen star timelapse that reveals satellite movements paired with a map of the Apollo 11 mission is fantastic. Photographs of Christo and Jeanne Claude’s Running Fence paired with maps of the US-Mexico border are similarly great. I love that they found a way to work in Ed Ruscha’s Every Building on the Sunset Strip. For such a small little show there’s so much awesome stuff.
The exhibition is really a greatest-hits kind of show. No overarching theme, just case after case of cool shit. So I’ll just go down my notes and write about what jumped out at me.
The Colony & Fairchild ribbon map of the Mississippi is impressive as both a map and an artifact. It’s an eleven-foot-long tape measure of a map which seems utterly unusable since you have to unspool it completely in order to see the headwaters. At the same time it’s a wonderful way of looking at the river and perfectly demonstrates how it functions foremost as a transportation route. What’s most important on this map is what you encounter as you go up or downstream as towns and tributaries function the way you’d expect train stations to show up on a modern transport map.
The process of straightening out the river—but not too much—is one which I’d love to learn more about too. They very clearly had to get the river to fit in a straight line but there’s still a lot of meander detail visible. I don’t know the river well enough to gauge whether or not it’s done well but I love how this map keeps a sense of riverness in the abstraction.
Similarly, the London to Aberistwith wayfinding map interested me because it’s another map built around a specific use case. As with the Mississippi map, this one is very clearly a navigational map which takes a traveler from one point to another.
These kind of maps are also interesting because while the intent of these kinds of maps is to help inexperienced travelers, they also end up describing the journey and the territory covered. Where my kids like to trace on their maps the exact route of their journey, this would be like giving them a straight-line map showing them only what they encountered.
Seeing the Aberwistwith map paired with the Photo-auto “map” was fantastic. While I have a hard time calling this a “map” I also don’t know what else to call it. It very clearly serves the same navigational use-case as a map does. It’s probably even easier than a map for some people to use as it mimics the kind of verbal instructions that people create. When we tell people where to go we highlight waypoints and tell them what to look for. Yes, street names and cardinal directions are also helpful, but it’s really things like “second left after the gas station” which make directions useful.
This also reminded me of Google Streetview and GPS-based navigation. Very useful when you can’t get verbal directions from someone but also no sense of the overall journey. While I am grateful for step-by-step directions, I’m never satisfied unless I can also figure out how they fit in to the general area.
The historical atlas with fog-of-war to give a sense of what hasn’t been explored yet was very striking. I love the idea of “what we don’t know yet” being an integral part of the design. Instead of zooming out to reveal more of the world, it’s very obvious that there’s a lot of world out there which is unknown.
I also enjoyed how this depiction reminded me of the fog-of-war feature in Warcraft and Starcraft. As with the Street View navigation photos, it’s fun to see how old ideas have been rediscovered today.
I don’t have much to say about the atlas for blind except to note that I was impressed that it was raised relief text rather than Braille.* It’s also just a neat artifact to see since we rarely see things like this in any museum. Even in the design exhibitions at dedicated art museums I can’t think of any pieces of accessibility design.
*That this was published the same year that Braille was developed is a nice coincidence.
It’s always lovely to see a classic in the flesh. The Beck map is one of those landmarks of design. I can’t imagine the world without it as we’ve absorbed its lessons so thoroughly that this is what all subway and transport maps have as their reference now.
As is often the case with landmarks of design, I was surprised by how small this was. I know I know, of course it’s small, it’s a subway map. But because of its prominence in the history of design, I had imagined it as something bigger.
What I like most about Bachmann’s Panorama of the East Coast of The Confederacy is that it’s a view looking West from the Atlantic ocean. In addition to not being a standard view, it also ends up being a specifically political view. Orienting the map this way makes it represent the point of view of the Union blockaders. It’s not just the seat of war it’s an “us versus them” view of that seat.
Frank Dorn pictorial history of Beijing was just a lot of fun. It’s a reminder of how maps aren’t just about super-accurate roads and locations, they’re also a way of depicting and remembering a place. When I was a kid, these kind of pictorial maps—typically a gimmick for local advertising—where what sucked me into being interested in maps in general. The Dorn map is a much older example which is about memory instead of advertising.
This map has also gotten me thinking about trying to draw my own pictorial maps of my youth. As I’ve come to be more of a tourist in my hometown, I’ve been finding myself filling in my childhood memories and connecting where everything used to be. I’d like to be able to share these with my kids rather than be one of those dads pointing out the window while driving past where something used to be decades ago.
