Perception and Comprehension in Photography
Ingo Mittelstaedt (b. 1978, Berlin; lives and works in Berlin and Hamburg) creates staged photographs, combining and contrasting them with diverse objects in expansive installations. His pictorial arrangements probe a variety of concerns and imageries that he sources from museum settings or the modes of representation in ordinary advertising brochures. Gestures of showing, pointing, bringing out, and uncovering are leitmotifs in Mittelstaedt’s canny and subtly humorous exploration of the potentials and limitations of the photographic medium.
Ingo Mittelstaedt studied fine arts at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig and received numerous emerging-artist awards, including the New York fellowship of the Niedersächsische Sparkassenstiftung. His work has been shown at Kunstverein Hannover, the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum, Ludwigshafen, Marta Herford, and elsewhere.

Clarity, Complexity, and Linearity
The defining artistic means in the work of Karlheinz Bux (b. 1952 in Ulm, lives and works in Karlsruhe) is the line. As edges and folds, they determine vertically oriented sculptures, which simultaneously convey compactness and openness, dynamism and repose. In Bux’s pencil drawings and photo-based works, they form the subject of the image in the form of complex linear structures. This present book documents the artist’s large-format works and provides insight into his oeuvre, with texts by Michael Hübl, Christine Reeh-Peters, and Carmela Thiele.
Karlheinz Bux studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe and taught as a lecturer at Pforzheim University and as a visiting professor at the Mainz University of Applied Sciences. His works are represented in private and public collections, including the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, the Hurrle Collection, and the Würth Collection.

The craft of traditional Japanese lacquer finishing in contemporary art
In his extraordinary sculptures, Nobuyuki Tanaka (b. 1971 in Tokyo) combines a lacquer finishing that has been practiced in Japan for centuries with an organic formal language. Tanaka is considered the most important representative and pioneer of the use of lacquer in contemporary art. He uses the material in polished deep black or intense red as a multi-layer coating for large-format sculptures. This results in abstract works with lively, curved, glossy surfaces in which the multi-faceted effect created by the interplay with changing light conditions plays a key role. The lavishly illustrated book includes texts by Britta E. Buhlmann, Beatrice Kromp, Antje Papist-Matsuo, Annette Reich, Atsuhiko Shima, and Nobuyuki Tanaka.

The Mysterious World of the Pharaohs and their Magical Relationship to Gold
Hardly any other culture fascinates as much as the high culture of ancient Egypt. At its center were the pharaohs, those legendary kings who, according to the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians, descended directly from the gods. Gold was ascribed a special symbolic and religious power; it stood for eternity and indestructibility and, as the “flesh of the gods,” was a sacred metal. The book brings together 150 exhibits from pharaonic tombs from the Old Kingdom of the Third Dynasty (circa 2680 B.C.E.) and the oldest gold statue of an Egyptian pharaoh to Tutankhamun and Horemheb (circa 1330–1310 B.C.E.).

Artistic Interventions in the Caputh Palace. Contemporary Parallels to the Baroque Era
Four international women artists spent more than three years studying Caputh Palace near Potsdam and creating works specifically for this magnificent location. The tapestries by Margret Eicher (b. 1955, Viersen; lives and works in Berlin), the floral scans by Luzia Simons (b. 1953, Quixadá, Brazil; lives and works in Berlin), the wax sculptures by Rebecca Stevenson (b. 1971; lives and works in London), and the ceiling painting projections by Myriam Thyes (b. 1963, Luxembourg; lives and works in Düsseldorf) blend into the surrounding space both naturally and surprisingly. With twelve double-page collages, the large-sized catalog is an artistic commentary on the ambitious project.

The Workman Sculptures at Völklinger Hütte Steelworks
Sculptures on topics of everyday life are at the center of the work of Ottmar Hörl (b. 1950, Nauheim; lives and works in Frankfurt/Main and Wertheim). His major projects gained international recognition, they are based on the artist’s concept of art as a communication model. For the Völklingen Ironworks World Heritage Site, Hörl conceived the sculpture project Second Life, which features 100 figures modeled on the Völklingen ironworker with helmet and work clothes. The book documents the impressive project that focuses on the universal theme of the Völklingen Ironworks: work and the working people.

The First Monograph on the Californian Pop Artist Since More Than Thirty Years
Billy Al Bengston (b. 1934, Dodge City; lives and works in Venice, California, and Honolulu, Hawaii) is the very personification of the cheerful, carefree attitude towards life in California – with his work as well as his person: a former surfer and motorcycle racer, an extravagant artist and key figure of West Coast Pop Art. After studying at the California College of Arts and Crafts and the Otis Art Institute, he exhibited at the legendary Ferus Gallery in 1957 and was the central figure among a group of artists that included Frank Gehry, Edward Kienholz, Ed Ruscha, and Ken Price. BAB, as he apostrophizes himself, inserts car and motorcycle parts as motifs into his otherwise abstract paintings, using lacquer and spray paint instead of oil, and aluminum panels with at times dented surfaces instead of the traditional canvas. Art and lifestyle combine to create the individual “Bengston iconography” of California Cool.

Sales Spaces without Merchandise
In her installations, Laura Schawelka (b. 1988, Munich; lives and works in Berlin) makes use of photography, video, and sculpture in a multilayered dialogue. In her latest works, the artist focuses on the role of photography in the development of modern consumer society. What does it mean if goods are only communicated through other goods, such as computers, cell phones, tablets? If this withholding of the genuine object is precisely what prompts the desire for it? The artist creates sales spaces without merchandise, in which images, photographs, and videos have replaced consumer goods of any kind.
Laura Schawelka studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main as a student of Tobias Rehberger master-class. In 2015, she was awarded the Master of Fine Arts at the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles, and in 2017 she moved to Paris as the recipient of a studio bursary of Hessische Kulturstiftung.

A Facsimile by the Theologian and Artist
The genesis of images is a central aspect of the work of the Munich-based theologian and artist Thomas Lehnerer (b. Munich, 1955; d. ibid., 1995). In drawings and sculptures, as well as in spatial and conceptual works, the production of images creates a counter-world to our own lives. By transferring fundamental experiences of human existence into art, Lehnerer creates an equivocal, anthropological space for observation and reflection. The artist’s book Grott, published in 1986, contains ambiguous elements. All drawings are positioned on the right page. In the not yet dried state, a double image was formed on the left side, which relativizes the “primary image.” The depictions of animals, people, and the environment were drawn nearly without interruption from a single line. In this style of continuous movement, the overall image can be traced back to its beginning. For Lehnerer, it was important to understand human (self-)consciousness from the perspective of the history of evolution, since there are countless models of thought and belief within this narrative. Grott refers in the title, as well as in the drawings, to the charged relationship between the earthly and the spiritual.

Historically Anchored Installations with Current Political References
The sculptures by Voré (b. 1941 in Karlsruhe, lives and works in Ettlingen) reflect the artist’s examination of the conditions of human existence and the human state of mind. Finely polished forms, splinters, and rough fractures become a statement of content and at the same time constitute the formal tension of the respective object. The process of creation can be seen in the rough remaining parts and traces of the various tools. Parallel and closely related to this, drawings and collages are created as independent works or as components of installations. Formal impulses of the sculptural concept are taken up, graphically processed, and projected back into the sculptural work. The present volume presents projects from six decades with numerous illustrations.

«On stability of fuzzy mathematical models in economics»
This paper analyzes properties of fuzzy models in economics. We investigate a question of dependence model work quality and initial data quality. Fuzzy model separating trade zones is considered. Initial data quality is estimated as a fuzziness degree of relations «goods - property» and «goods - firm». It is proved that model response monotonicity doesn't survive fuzziness degree in general case. Sometimes there exists a relationship between the model answer and initial data quality. Such particular cases are investigated in detail. They are performed in highly artificial constraints. Also other operation application doesn't lead to fuzziness degree preservation. Thereby analyzing model doesn't guarantee that model work quality is a function of initial data quality and should be used carefully.

«Intelligent computing in information monitoring systems»
Information Monitoring Technology was developed for analysing complex systems or processes that do not have an appropriate mathematical model. Tools based on this technology (called information monitoring systems) can utilise all available information to provide estimates of the development of the monitored system/ process and find optimal strategies for controlling its behaviour. In this paper, we discuss the principal aspects of developing such systems and provide some theoretical results that guarantee their correctness and optimality. We also give several examples of developing and applying information monitoring systems for various application domains. We describe the main development stages as well as various ways of usage, and demonstrate some differences in the approaches caused by differences in the addressed problems' characteristics.

«Knowledgebase robustness of self-organizing intelligent regulators in unpredicted control situations»
Effectiveness of robust knowledgebase design technology is demonstrated with thermodynamic criteria using the Benchmark as unstable essentially nonlinear control object. Quantum control algorithm of knowledgebase self-organization is developed. In this algorithm additional quantum information (as hidden information in classical states superposition) and minimum entropy in «intelligent» control state are used. Application of quantum fuzzy inference and entropy minimum principle guarantee the achievement of required robustness level in unpredicted control situations.

Heat and fire resistant basalt fabrics, recycled fibers, 3D body scanning and automated laser treated denim were just some of the highlights during the 13th edition of Techtextil North America, and third Texprocess Americas that took place May 3-5, 2016 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The show was once again co-located with JEC Americas in Hall B of the convention center. The trifecta of three shows in one provided a global gathering of technical textiles, nonwovens, textile machinery, composites, sewn products and equipment.
The event spanned over 166,000 net square feet and hosted 589 Techtextil North America, Texprocess Americas and JEC Americas exhibitors attracting 9,357 visitors which was up from the 2014 show. Country pavilions included Italy, Belgium, China, Germany, China, Taiwan, Business France and SEAMS Made in USA. Techtextil North America’s numbers were strong and showed no wavering even with the nonwovens based IDEA show held over the same dates. Texprocess Americas 2016 has shown a consistent growth in the quality and amount of visitors and exhibitors over the past editions.
“The buzz and energy was extraordinary on the show floor,” stated Dennis Smith, President, Messe Frankfurt North America, “We are proud to take these events to the next level as we better serve the US Sewn products industry, Made in America manufacturers and the Technical textile industry. We are a global business platform that will continue to attract potential new customers from North America, Latin America and around the world. We hope that all our exhibitors are looking to build new business relationship in the same approach. We look forward to the next chapter in our journey and would welcome everyone to our 2017 Techtextil edition in Chicago and the joint platform once again in Atlanta in 2018”.

A schoolgirl and two boys have been arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of a Nuneaton dog walker.
It is thought John Hackett, 36, was attacked while he walked in Snowhill Recreation Ground in Hartshill on Tuesday evening.
Police are asking for anyone who witnessed the altercation or who may have video or dashcam footage to get in touch.
Warwickshire emergency services were rushed to John's home at 8am the following day, where he is understood to have lived with and cared for his mother. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The three 15-year-olds, who were arrested on Wednesday, remain in police custody.
Warwickshire Police Detective Inspector Collette O’Keefe said: “We would ask anyone with information to get in touch with us as soon as possible.
“Though we believe this to be an isolated incident, with no threat to the wider public, residents can expect to see a heightened police presence in the area for their reassurance.
"We are aware there is footage circulating of the altercation on social media and we would ask people not to share it while we continue our ongoing investigation to work out the circumstances behind this man's death.
"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man at this sad time."
Anyone with information is asked to call 101, citing incident 90 of April 26.

“Energy transition,” “energy evolution,” “energy reimagined,” and a host of similar terms have dominated the energy market headlines this year. While these terms can have varied meanings, they generally focus on traditional energy and power companies looking to operate in cleaner, more efficient ways (such as creating a more reliable, cleaner, and efficient network, or engaging in carbon capture use and sequestration [CCUS] or other emission-reducing activities) or new investment in alternative sources of energy (such as wind, solar, geothermal, hydrogen, renewable natural gas, and biofuels).
Further, a litany of energy source (and fuel-mix) projections continue to be released on the future-state energy mix, with most predicting incremental growth from renewable and alternative sources. However, traditional energy (including traditionally generated electricity) becoming a smaller piece of the overall energy mix does not mean that these sources decrease in scope. As demand is expected to continue to rise, an outright abandonment of traditionally generated power is highly unlikely; rather, the overall market is expected to increase substantially, just with traditional sources occupying a smaller slice of a much larger market.
The discussion around energy transition vis-à-vis traditionally generated power ought to be an “and” as opposed to an “or.” In fact, utilities and other traditional power generation companies can capitalize on the developing market. Those with (or those that can quickly develop) well-contemplated decarbonization plans, improved infrastructure focus, and additional renewable power production ought to be well-positioned to fuel the energy transition. Also, traditional power and utility companies are poised to take advantage of the increased production and use of electric vehicles, as those vehicles will need electricity (although the increase in production may create short-term pressure on traditional power and utility companies).
Continued expansion into and integration with alternative energy sources is expected. As wind, solar, water, and bio-related energy sources grow incrementally, so will the demand for and consumption of electricity. Utilities will continue to be a significant source of energy; however, how they align assets and operations to adjust to and capitalize on the energy transition will be key. Capital needs will be substantial to integrate renewable power into traditionally generated power infrastructure—while ensuring a constant, reliable supply. Additionally, utilities will require substantial capital to increase grid security, reliability, and capacity (and, for regulated utilities, public utility commission approval will be key).
With their expertise, utilities are uniquely positioned to assist with the development of energy storage technologies, which can improve grid flexibility and performance. Further, power generation, transportation, and storage related to hydrogen and renewable natural gases are expected to gain more interest over time. Utilities will also look to invest in their own renewable and alternative energy projects.
Significant opportunities exist related to CCUS and other emissions-reducing activities and technologies. CCUS projects related to power generation are largely in the early, exploratory phase. With enormous opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and with the current federal incentives assisting in achieving economic viability, CCUS presents a path forward for current and future power and utility companies to operate in cleaner, more efficient ways.
To aid in the development of CCUS projects, Section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides for a tax credit for the capture and sequestration (or qualified use) of qualified carbon oxides. Although the tax credit is subject to many limitations, it provides a significant opportunity to power and utility companies to either own, operate, and develop some or all of the CCUS value chain, or partner with a CCUS project developer to capture carbon oxides from the electrical or power generation facilities, and arrange and secure offtake and qualifying usage. Tax and economic policy incentives will fuel the energy transition and will be attractive to power and utility companies as they look to horizontally and vertically integrate and expand.
Current provisions in the Code encourage the production of electricity from alternative energy sources as well as investment in other alternative sources of energy (such as the Section 45 production tax credit [PTC] for electricity production from alternative sources, and the Section 48 investment tax credit [ITC] for investments in certain energy properties). Additionally, many other provisions, financial grants, and other economic incentives encourage the development and increased scale of alternative energy.
Building on the foundation of federal alternative energy support, many legislative proposals have recently been released that could further encourage investment in alternative energy and boost emissions-reducing activities by incentivizing cleaner, more efficient operations (such as providing enhanced or new tax credits, providing certainty to the ITC and PTC, and adding a direct pay option for certain tax credits).
Power and utility companies will continue to offer a historically stable supply of energy. And their appetite for, and ability to address, grid modernization and allow grid flexibility to accommodate electricity generated from alternative sources will be germane to their growth. Given the likelihood of significant increases in demand for electricity and other energy outputs, power and utility companies are uniquely positioned to capitalize on and play a significant role in facilitating the energy transition.

Healthy vibrant waterways make our communities better places to live
September 12, 2019 • 0 CommentBy Gemma Dunn, PhD, Sustainability Specialist and Consultant
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing with Mark Angelo— renowned river conservationist and founder of World Rivers Day—about his upcoming keynote presentation at the Ecocity World Summit 2019 in Vancouver next month.
Mark has many experiences around urban streams. He has travelled on more than 1,000 rivers throughout the globe, including paddling through the heart of the world's largest cities such as the Seine (Paris), Thames (London), Nile (Cairo) and the Buriganga (Dhaka). He has led numerous stream cleanups and environmental restoration efforts in both urban settings and elsewhere.
“Without question, healthy vibrant waterways make our communities better place to live”.
Mark is a champion of the Ecocity concept as he says “it highlights the importance of caring for waterways and water resources within cities, and the need to build or remake our cities in greater harmony with nature”. There are many pressures that confront waterways. “I think we are obligated to make our cities as sustainable and healthy as possible, particularly when you consider what life will be like in the next few decades. More than half the world’s population already live in urban areas and this will increase to two-thirds by 2050”.
During his keynote at the upcoming Ecocity Summit, Mark will take the audience on his personal, multi-decadal global journey, sharing stories and insights from some of his extraordinary exploits.
Mark’s interest in rivers and streams stems from his childhood. He spent much of his formative years exploring the gully’s and stream beds in Griffith Park (a 4,000 acre nature reserve) that was across the street from his family home in Los Angeles. His childhood home was also down the street from the severely damaged Los Angeles River, which is currently a concrete flood control channel. He explained how these early experiences with moving water taught him many lessons about the importance of rivers, and led him to pursue a career in river conservation to protect the “arteries of our planet”.
A key message Mark wants people to take away from his upcoming keynote presentation, “based on the stories and examples that I will share, there is reason for hope. We can make our cities better live”. Drawing on his specific urban rivers and streams restoration experiences “I want to emphasize the fact that we should never give up on any waterway. I think that is a message that is especially relevant to cities”.
Looking ahead he highlights the need for more “champions and advocates of the Ecocity concept; the more champions there are the better. We are starting to make some progress, and large events like the Ecocity Summit reflect this, but clearly there remains much work to be done.”
Mark Angelo will be speaking at the Ecocities World Summit in Vancouver, Canada between 7-11th October 2019. For more information, including conference registration, visit http://ecocity2019.com/
World Rivers Day will be on 22nd September 2019. For more information regarding events in your area visit https://worldriversday.com/

Every once in a while, we throw you a curve ball.
In this week’s installment of “Old Baseball Cards” — Yahoo Sports’ baseball-driven nostalgia show — we flipped the script and are doing what could be called New Baseball Cards.
We took some packs of cards highlighting MLB’s future stars and handed them up to rookies and top prospects to get their takes on their peers and some of their big-league heroes.
This episode features a number of players ripping packs of 2019 Bowman Platinum, which features prospect cards and some established big leaguers. Our guests:
• Dustin May, the Los Angeles Dodgers rookie pitcher, who impressed at the Futures Game, where we filmed part of this episode).
• Anthony Kay, the Toronto Blue Jays rookie is who making his debut Saturday (he was with the Mets when we filmed this, before going to Toronto in the Marcus Stroman trade)
• MacKenzie Gore, the San Diego Padres’ top pitching prospect (who was just named MLB Pipeline’s pitcher of the year)
• Shaun Anderson, the San Francisco Giants’ rookie pitcher
If you’re new to the show, we usually open old packs of cards with current MLB stars, coaches and baseball legends. If you’re into that idea, we have plenty of great episodes below for you to check out.

Once you are done with each post, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a list of Blog Hop participants, you can click on their name to go to their post, or you can click the next button to go to the next post in line. Happy crafting! This month’s theme is Earth Day.
I have to say, I am absolutely proud of the card I designed for this hop. I have been in a crafty funk lately and haven't been happy with the things I've created, but this card changed that! As soon as I started brainstorming ideas for this hop, I knew I had to create an ocean themed card! I live in NM and have only seen the ocean 3 times in my entire life! Yes, I agree, I need a beachside vacation! If you have any recommendations, let me know!
Besides loving the ocean and the beauty underneath, I also have been really passionate about trying to reduce my single-use plastics. This has been quite a challenge for me because I am so productive oriented. I usually steer towards convenience which usually includes a single-use plastic container. I'm getting there, one piece at a time. One of the single-use items I have replaced recently (and it's not plastic) are the cotton pads I use to clean my face. I found cotton re-useable pads online and they are amazing! They came with a mesh bag to wash them in. I even love them more than the disposable ones! More on that journey later!
I hope you have enjoyed the project I have designed! Don't stop here, click the link below to check out the next blog in this month's hop!

Apartment Galleries and their Legality
May 14, 2010
posted by caroline picard
With the closing of 65 Grand, more publicity shines on the issue of apartment galleries and their relationship with the city. What I found especially interesting about the article that went up in Chicago Art Magazine were the comments–especially Kathryn Born’s remark about liability issues and how those complicate the deliciousness of “being under the radar” and then too, a Kelly Thompson who remarked on not being able to find apartment galleries on a recent visit to the city. I feel like there are tons of apartment galleries still, but they may not be well publicized…in some sense they can’t be, right?
in any case, here is some of the article. you can read the whole bit by going here.
UPDATE: We’re getting some new information. The city is now saying that the term “apartment gallery was confusing and unknown to the department of business affairs. There may be a $250 license that can give you a 50/50 workspace. Please check back for updates.
About a year ago, a Chicago city official walked into Green Lantern Gallery to check a license for the sandwich board advertisement outside. When he found out the gallery had no license, Caroline Picard, the owner, was given a two tickets, one for the sandwich board and one for not having a business license.
Why wouldn’t a gallery owner have a business license?
Because the Green Lantern Gallery was also Picard’s home. She estimated that of the 1200 square-foot apartment, about 50 percent was gallery space and the other 50 percent was living space. Picard said the gallery had 501c3, or non-profit, status and she did know she needed anything further.
“There are some rules about the number of [people] that come, where the exits are,” she said “and based on those regulations, pretty much every apartment gallery is illegal.” She noted that a business license is not meant for apartment galleries, or at least not made with them in mind. Picard added that she was told she needed a live/work license but did not qualify because of the zone her apartment is in.
On a call to the Department of Business affairs, a representative said that the only option for an artist to work from home is a Home Occupation License.
The City of Chicago’s Business Affairs and Consumer Protection Web site, a list rules states what business owners can and can’t do with a Home Occupation license. One states that “No more than 2 clients may visit your home at one time and no more than 10 clients within any 24 hr period.”
Another rule states that no more than 15 percent of the apartment space used as a business in a multiple dwelling building.

And here are some more recent drawings! Makenzie was the model of these ‘A League of Their Own’-inspired poses.
I drew these back in May? June? I can’t remember now. Anyway, here they finally are! Anna Rose modelled these fantastic Hula poses for Todd Bright’s All In Gesture class.
Today I dusted the cobwebs off my pencil and newsprint pad and sat down to do some gesture drawing! Todd Bright’s weekly All In Gesture class gets recorded, so I was able to take part at a time that suited me. It was so much fun to do, despite being very rusty.
On Saturday I joined an online drawing class from Wild Life Drawing featuring five-week-old wolf-dog pups from Watermill Wolves. They were alternately incredibly active or completely asleep.
I made it along to some of the epic eight-hour life drawing marathon organised by Deryck Henley on New Year’s Eve. It was great to do some drawing from (digital) life – it had been a few months, and I was very rusty. These poses were modelled by Anna and Mariano.
Wild Life Drawing hosts live drawing sessions with animals in the UK. I sadly haven’t ever been able to go to any of their in-person classes, but I have now attended online! Last week I joined in a Zoom drawing class featuring three wolf-dogs from Watermill Wolves. A lot of little mannerisms reminded me ofContinue reading “Wild Life Drawing – Wolves”
Last week, I attended a life drawing session where Safire and Andrew held beautiful poses. With three cameras to choose from, I enjoyed capturing the same pose from different angles.
A couple of sketches of Naomi, from a session last month. I’ve just started a new job with Wild Child on a children’s television series. Hopefully I’ll be able to show what I’m working on sometime next year!
Rachel modelled as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz at last week’s On Model session. A little different from the last couple of weeks – this time I wasn’t following a model sheet!
Vera modelled at this Tuesday’s session. She held some great poses with interesting shapes.
Last week’s CTN On Model sketching session featured Jonnathon as Alameda Slim, the villain from Home on the Range. I’ve only seen the film once so I don’t know the character very well. At first I really struggled to figure out how his head connects to his neck! By the end of the event IContinue reading “Character Sketching – Alameda Slim”
I’ve admired artists who turned their life drawing sketches into characters for years, but though I’ve used my drawings as inspiration for characters I’ve never, until now, drawn a model and drawn a character at the same time. It’s tough. But it’s fun! With so much online at present, I discovered that CTN is runningContinue reading “Character Sketching – Maleficent”
I’ve joined for part of the last couple of life drawing sessions, modelled by Maxime and Dominique (plus a special guest). Some really lovely poses from both of them, and the added challenge of a snake … *EDIT – The initial time posted was wrong. Updated time below.* Tomorrow (May 5th) there’s a special gesture-focusedContinue reading “Life Drawing, April and May”
My regular life drawing group has moved online, so last week I sketched Amelia from the comfort of my own home! I’ve done quite a lot of drawing from stills online, so it was familiar in that way. The shorter poses worked well, but I struggled to see the detail for the longer poses –Continue reading “Life Drawing, 14th March”
Sue modelled at last night’s life drawing session.
Hannah modelled at last night’s session.
This week our model was Alexa.
Danna modelled at this week’s life drawing session. Her poses were often unusual and pretty challenging to draw! I set myself an additional challenge this week of drawing the longer poses in colour. I’ve done a few digital studies from photographs recently, but it has been a long time since I’ve used colour in aContinue reading “Life Drawing, 28th January”
Sue modelled at the final life drawing session of 2019. It’s hard to believe it’s a new year, let alone a new decade!
Sophie, an acrobat, modelled at life drawing this week and held some unusual poses! I also did some sketching as she warmed up.

I watched part of the O.J. Simpson parole hearing while working out yesterday. At one point O.J. audaciously claimed to have led a pretty conflict free life. Except for brutally murdering his then-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman, of course.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?
Jeffrey Toobin points out that people can be acquitted of brutal crimes they actually committed, and imprisoned for other less consequential matters, like the armed scuffle in a Nevada hotel room over stuff related to his football years that O.J. claimed was his. He threatened, waved a gun, held the guys who had his trophies against their will, and was convicted of gun charges, attempted kidnapping and robbery. He finally went to jail, not for killing the mother of his children and an innocent man who happened to be in her company, but for the fracas over his stuff.
Simpson was granted parole, and will be out of jail in October.
I wish he was made to stay in jail. But our justice system, even when it works, doesn’t exactly work like that. Retribution for a bad jury verdict isn’t what keeps a person behind bars, even when he’s dumb enough to be convicted of quite another thing.

LIHU’E — While first round champion Kapa’a watched from the Raiderdome stands last night, Kaua’i and Waimea battled for momentum heading into the second round.
The Red Raiders, who were win-less heading into the contest, finally made it into the win column, with a 53-39 victory.
Both Waimea and Kaua’i finished up round one with a 1-3 mark. For the two-time defending champion Red Raiders, it was a much needed victory, which should help their confidence level throughout the remainder of the season.
Kaua’i held a 23-18 lead at the half, thanks to a Rachel Taira breakaway bucket. In the third period, both teams rained threes from all around the court, as Anna Jacinto and Natalie Mata of Waimea canned trifectas.
But Ho’onani Dennis and Carie Inouye of Kaua’i countered with threes of their own, which kept the lead at double digits for the girls in red.
The Red Raiders continued to apply pressure in the fourth quarter, as Dennis’ lay-in with just under four minutes to go, sealed the victory.
Taira ended up with a game-high 21 points, followed by Dennis with 16, and Inouye with 11. Mata paced Waimea with 11 points, as Anna Jacinto and Moani Durant chipped in with nine and six points, respectively.
In the JV contest, Waimea cruised past Kaua’i, 37-22, behind 18 points from Tatum Gonsalves. Kayla Werner chipped in with 10 points. Wailana Borrero led Kaua’i with six points, followed by Nicole Fujimoto and Kathleen Cadiente, who poured in four points apiece. The second round heads to Waimea on Tuesday, with Kapa’a battling the Menehune.

A string of countries have been added to the UK’s travel red list to protect the nation against variants of COVID-19.
Travel bans will be implemented for visitors entering the UK from the Philippines, Pakistan, Kenya and Bangladesh from 4am on 9 April, the Department for Transport (DfT) said.
British, Irish and third-country nationals with residence rights, including long-term visa holders, arriving from these countries will be required to self-isolate in a government-approved hotel quarantine facility for 10 days.
During their stay, passengers will be required to take a coronavirus test on or before day 2 and on or after day 8, and they will not be allowed to shorten their quarantine period on receipt of a negative test result.
They will also be required to arrive into a designated port. No direct flight bans from these countries will be put in place, but passengers are advised to check their travel plans before departing for England.
These countries join the likes of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, South Africa, United Arab Emirates (UAE), amongst others. The move is based on advice from the Joint Biosecurity Centre.
It comes as some 31 million people have now received their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine in the UK, according to the latest government data.
The additional restrictions come as an attempt to reduce the risk of new variants, such as those first identified in South Africa (SA) and Brazil, from entering England.
So far, surveillance has found that few cases of the SA variant have been identified as being imported from Europe, with most coming from other parts of the world.
The earliest date people from England can travel abroad for a holiday is 17 May, when the government aims to move to step three of its lockdown exit plan. However, experts have warned that overseas summer holidays for Brits are looking "unlikely" amid surging virus numbers in Europe and fears of variants.
Government scientist Dr Mike Tildesley said that the UK faces a "real risk" if people travel abroad, while travel secretary Grant Shapps said it was "too early to tell" when foreign travel might be back on.
Anyone who leaves England to travel outside the country without a reasonable excuse will now be hit with a £5,000 fine, as per new coronavirus laws that will last until the end of June.
People have been told not to travel unless they have a legally permitted reason to do so, which includes work, medical or compassionate grounds and attending weddings and funerals. In England, they must also complete a declaration form when leaving the country.
UK prime minister Boris Johnson has previously warned that the UK could soon be hit by a third wave of coronavirus infections similar to that currently being experienced by other European countries.
Earlier this week, French president Emmanuel Macron announced his decision to impose a four-week nationwide lockdown from Saturday in a bid to control infection numbers, hospitalisations and deaths in the country.
It came after Germany declared the whole of France a "high-risk" area for coronavirus infections, meaning that travellers had to show a negative COVID-19 test and quarantine upon arrival.
WATCH: Should I book a holiday in 2021?


CROWN POINT BULLDOGS
LAST WEEK: #9
We saw the expected growing pains that come along with fielding an inexperienced offense as the Crown Point fell to Lowell last week. While the result may not be what Kevin Enright and the Bulldog backers wanted, there are definite signs of the potential that this team has not only for later this year, but in seasons to come. It’ll be interesting to see how those players who got their first taste of varsity action a week ago react to being under the lights again when they travel to Highland on Friday.
BOONE GROVE WOLVES
LAST WEEK: NR
After narrowly missing out on a spot in the Top 10 to open the season, Boone Grove left no doubt that they belong in the rankings after dismantling John Glenn in Week #1. Braeton Vann also left no doubt that he needs to be mentioned when talking about the Region’s elite players. All he did last week was rush for 261 yards and four TDs to go along with two touchdown catches.
HANOVER CENTRAL WILDCATS
LAST WEEK: NR
Not only was the Wildcat win impressive as it was the first under new coach Brian Parker, but to win by double-digits against a solid Clinton Prairie club with very little time to prepare? That was eye-opening. HC can prove any remaining doubters wrong with Andrean coming to Cedar Lake this week. They’ve only met once before, but this could be a program defining victory for the ‘Cats.
LAST WEEK: #3
It takes more than one week of action to kill an off-season’s worth of hype, but an unexpected loss at the hands of Merrillville sure hurts Andrean in the rankings as they fall from the #3 spot. The Niners have to regroup and fast, which won’t be easy with a schedule that features Hanover Central and New Prairie, both on the road, in the next two weeks.
LAST WEEK: #6
While it’s always great for a team to start off the season with a “W”, we were expecting Morton to have a bit more convincing win over visiting Highland than a 16-6 victory. This week, the Govs have a chance to do something they haven’t done since the Roy Richards era – go 2-0 to begin the year. They’ll have to do it against a team they’ve never faced before in Lake Central.
LAST WEEK: #10
To no one’s great surprise, the Oilers once again dominated the Battle of 119th Street, winning by a lopsided score of 54-7. This week’s foe, the Griffith Panthers, lost to Michigan City 53-0. Does that mean the Oilers will have an easy time with the Panthers? Of course not, but they could be considered the favorite, which is almost certainly a first for the program against a program like Griffith.
LAST WEEK: #8
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good, as the Brickies found out Friday night. Granted, they made some big plays when needed, but none of that matters if the Trojan kick doesn’t go wide left. Next up is a trip to the Maple City to take on another DAC opponent – the LaPorte Slicers. If Hobart can sweep the Duneland, running the regular season table isn’t out of the question. But first things first.
LAST WEEK: #1
The Vikings drop two spots after a less than stellar performance in a town named after a Seminole Indian chief. The team bus will head in the same direction this week, with a trip to Mishawaka planned for Friday afternoon. The Cavemen are already 1-0 against the Duneland, having rolled over Portage 35-14, so the green & white will have a battle on their hands. Starting 0-2 is not part of plan, so a sense of urgency is needed.
LOWELL RED DEVILS
LAST WEEK: #4
The Devils move up two spots after beating Crown Point, a school two classes larger, on the road. They’ll play another 6A opponent in week two – the Portage Indians, only this time the Devils will have the home field advantage and they’ll be the favorite. If the Devils can sweep the Duneland, running the regular season table isn’t out of the question. But first things first.
MICHIGAN CITY WOLVES
LAST WEEK: #2
The Wolves had a perfect opening to the season – a dominating 53-0 manslaughter of Griffith. No disrespect to the Panthers, who were no match for City from pre-game to post-game, but this week’s opponent Homewood-Flossmoor is on another level, like that of a small college program, so don’t expect the Wolves to win by the same margin as last week because they won’t. In the 2017 match up, MC surrendered 63 to HF and lost by 42. Duneland action starts next Friday so the goals may just be to play smart and stay healthy.
No event found!


It's been a while since I've posted pictures of the city. A place I still love after five going on six years here. But as fortune would have it, I've a new camera that I've been frothing at the mouth to try out for more than a week now.
OK, so the level of enthusiasm isn't quite rabid, but it still feels like forever and a day since my last camera shuffled off the plastic coil this past summer.
In the next few months I'm hoping to take said new camera on weekend trips around the US Pacific Northwest. Shoot some photos of the cities, volcanoes, glaciers, coastline, and marine and people creatures. But to start out, something local:
Portland's Lan Su Classical Chinese Garden
Yet again, apologies for the paucity of posts here on Consilience. Five thousand words of good novel writing today, but almost no text to spare for the poor blog. In part, because I use this site as my test platform for writing about complex issues that I may or may not use in my fiction. This is where I let the academic voice run wild, and dive into technical or historical details. It's also the first step in slimming down and novelizing these ideas. Or put differently, a space for figuring out how to get my literary brain wrapped around the big ideas, and then present in accurate but streamlined words. Words that speed along a plot rather than choke it to death.
That said, but damn I need to start using shorter sentences here. I sure as hell wouldn't drop these kinds of convoluted word structures on my professional technical readers or on a genre audience. And I should not be hurling them at you, kindest blog readers.
While I apparently don't need to blog much when cranking out a novel, abandoning this platform and it's readership for months on end is still kind of dick move. One I'll work harder to avoid making.

Ross County 1 St Johnstone 0: Ross count on Carey
ROSS COUNTY left it late to claim their second league win in the space of four days, scoring the only goal of a dour struggle in the 88th minute.
But no doubt the locals savoured Graham Carey’s solitary strike long into the evening, given that they had not previously had the opportunity to celebrate back-to-back Premiership wins this season.
St Johnstone were caught cold when substitute Melvin De Leeuw broke down the right and with the defence ruthlessly exposed squared the ball to Carey to steer it into the net from the centre of the 18-yard box.
County also had the satisfaction of supplanting Partick Thistle in 10th place in the Premiership and after a 10-match winless run and only one point from a possible

The retina is essentially a piece of brain tissue that projects through the back of the eye to receive input from the outside world – in the form of photons. Processing of the photons detected by retinal photoreceptors gives rise to our perception of images, movement, life and love.
Our laboratory studies the elaborate cellular architecture of retinal photoreceptors -- the rods and cones -- to understand their fundamental biology, and the cellular and molecular underpinnings for several forms of clinically significant inherited and acquired eye diseases.”
“Human vision begins with rod and cone photoreceptors, light-sensitive ciliated sensory neurons situated in the neural retina. These fragile cells are susceptible to a variety of insults, which can impede their function and viability and cause retinal degeneration and vision loss. Vertebrate animal models, and in particular mice, have been a valuable resource to identify molecules essential for normal photoreceptor physiology. Although a wide variety of naturally occurring and engineered mouse models have been investigated for retinal degeneration, and a majority of vision loss in inherited photoreceptor degenerations is known to result from secondary pathogenic processes, the detailed mechanisms by which genetic defects cause retinal degeneration continue to be debated. Further advances are needed to improve understanding of normal photoreceptor physiology and implement more effective clinical treatments. It is anticipated that insights into the relatively simple monogenic diseases can simultaneously shed light on widely prevalent loss-of-sight conditions with multifactorial etiologies.
The retinal degeneration slow (rds) mouse (also known as Prph2Rd2) has been the focus of numerous investigations of photoreceptor and retinal structure, function and viability. This naturally occurring model results from a spontaneous insertion of viral DNA into the rds (also known as Prph2) gene to produce a null allele. Complete loss of the gene product (peripherin/rds) in homozygous null animals prevents elaboration of rod and cone photoreceptor outer segments (OSs) – the specialized ciliary organelles upon which vertebrate light detection depends. Surprisingly, this massive structural defect is not catastrophic for photoreceptor viability. Instead, cells undergo a relatively slow rate of degeneration that occurs over a period of months, and has prompted evaluation of several therapeutic strategies.
A previous study applied a whole-retina microarray approach to the rds model to identify genes associated with retinal degeneration. Here, we investigate the global transcriptome response of purified rds rod photoreceptors to lack of peripherin/rds and absence of OSs. Our findings suggest that a combination of homeostatic mechanisms may contribute to the protracted time course of retinal degeneration in the rds retina.”

What are free weights?
When you sit down at, stand in, or lay down on the standard workout machine, you are locked into a fixed position and range of motion. Now, a lot of times this can be a good thing. It forces the trainee into a more correct form for that given exercise.
However, it can also be a limiting factor. Free weights let us do certain exercises outside of a fixed range of motion . They are also very versatile in that you can create many different exercises with a simple pair of dumbbells or a barbell.
What are Squats?
Without a doubt, squats are the granddaddy of all leg exercises. The stress that a well performed set of squats puts on the body not only puts a great inroad into your muscles, but will also increase testosterone . Squats tend to increase overall body strength.
Squats start with a barbell loaded and on a rack at chest level. While grasping the bar, drop your head and shoulders under and in front of the bar. With the bar resting on the upper traps and a solid, shoulder width stance, lift the bar free of the rack and step back one pace, and take a stance with your feet anywhere from shoulder width to double shoulder width apart.
While keeping the chin up, and keeping your back straight , squat your butt toward the floor as if sitting in a chair. Continue downward until your quads are parallel with the floor . Take a slight pause and then press the weight up to the standing position. Continue these reps until you have reached a point of failure.
It helps to have a training partner handy to spot you if you get stuck. It is also a good idea to set two pins in the rack at just bellow the point of parallel. This way, if you get stuck, you can set the weight down on the pins.
What are the benefits of Lifting Weights?
Well, yeah. I wouldn't do it if it didn't benefit me. Aside from looking good in and out of your clothes, there are other personal benefits from lifting weights.
An increase in overall functional strength making it easier to attack the physical challenges of life.
Increased metabolism from growing muscles will increase fat loss.
Increased self esteem from feeling stronger and in shape.
Increase in energy from increased metabolism.
Stronger skeletal muscles, decreasing skeletal pain. This is especially true for the back and knees.
A sense of purpose and accomplishment as your strength increases.
These are just a few of the many benefits from lifting weights. Get into the gym and start working out and you'll start seeing the benefits for yourself.

Rumors for the revival of Metal Gear Solid have been making the rounds for over a year. The rumors first started in 2022 when it was noted that Virtuos Games listed Konami as a client, hinting toward a possible remake.
With the buzz around the franchise, many hoped that Metal Gear Solid would return in 2023, but this might not be the case. Journalist Andy Robinson recently tweeted, stating that the Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake has been pushed to 2024.
MGS3 remake is now a 2024 title and there's still talk of MGS re-releases of some kind. E3 window was their marketing plan, last I heard. https://t.co/Euaw3iEdrN
— Andy Robinson (@AndyPlaytonic) March 28, 2023
The next few months will bring announcements from various studios and developers. Giants like PlayStation are expected to hold a showcase around this time, while Xbox and Ubisoft have already confirmed their showcases for June.
As such, June seems like a safe bet for the much anticipated Metal Gear Solid Remake. Konami is also working to revive its classic franchises. Silent Hill 2 Remake was officially announced last year during the Silent Hill Transmission presentation in October, and many are hoping a similar announcement will be made for Metal Gear Solid.
Not too long ago, it was reported that Metal Gear Solid Remake might be PlayStation 5 exclusive, but this remains to be seen.
Metal Gear Solid is a beloved franchise, and a remake could bring new life to the franchise. Recent examples like Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 have also been received extremely well worldwide, so Konami could be looking to follow a similar approach with Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake.
Other than that, how excited are you for Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake? Please share with us in the comments.

Many books have been written on religious melancholy, but most authors have not really experienced the condition. By contrast, Rogers had a unique perspective for he lived through terrible darkness of soul. He wrote from the depths of his heart, with the Word of God his unchanging standard, to help others toward healing.

Spurgeon himself suffered from melancholy (what we call depression today). Here is what he said: "Yes, a child of God may be in despondency for many a year. Timothy Rogers was the victim of despondency for many years, and yet he came out into the light, and then wrote his experience in his memorable book upon "Trouble of Mind," which has been of great service to others in like condition."
Perhaps this short review from over 100 years ago will help some sufferer to be helped by Rogers' book. As Spurgeon said, referring to the cock that crowed before Peter's denials, "Providence has messengers everywhere."

Joyce Carol Oates is a novelist, critic, playwright, poet and author of short stories and one of America's most highly respected literary figures. She has written some of the most enduring fiction of our time, including the national bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys and Blonde (a finalist for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize), and The New York Times bestsellers The Falls (winner of the 2005 Prix Femina Etranger) and The Gravedigger’s Daughter. She is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of Humanities at Princeton University.
Her new novel, Carthage, plunges us deep into the psyche of a wounded young corporal, haunted by unspeakable acts of wartime aggression, while unraveling the story of a disaffected young girl whose exile from her family may have come long before her disappearance.
Dark and riveting, Carthage is a powerful addition to the Joyce Carol Oates canon, one that explores the human capacity for violence, love and forgiveness, and asks if it’s ever truly possible to come home again.

What is the PSI scam that has triggered political storm in Karnataka?
The entrance examination to fill 545 vacant posts of police sub-inspector (PSI) was conducted in October last year. Suspicions arose about some candidates allegedly using fraudulent means to score well in the exam.
The Police Sub Inspector (PSI) recruitment scam, the case pertaining to alleged irregularities in the recruitment of sub-inspectors has triggered a political storm in Karnataka. Till July 7, at least 65 people including additional director general of police Amrit Paul, deputy superintendents of police, inspectors, a few other police personnel, a BJP leader Divya Hagaragi, who owned the Jnana Jyothi English Medium School in Kalaburagi and the gunman of a Congress MLA have been arrested, PTI reported.
But how did this mega recruitment scam unfold and what has happened so far? Let us tell you in ten points.
- In October last year, the examinations for the recruitment of police sub- inspectors posts were held. As many as 545 candidates cleared the exam in January this year from a group of 54,287 candidates who had written the exam.
- Irregularities came to the fore after it was revealed that several candidates had used fraudulent means to score well in the examination. Kalaburagi district turned out to be the epicentre of the scam, as it was the exam centre from where most of the rankers emerged.
- Divya Hagaragi, the former BJP women unit president in Kalaburagi, owned the Jnana Jyothi English School, which served as an examination centre for the PSI recruitment exam in October 2021. She was arrested in April and has been charged for facilitating cheating at her school. Her school teachers who were posted as invigilators had allegedly filled in answers on Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheets after the examination was over.
- In April, the Karnataka government handed over the case to the Criminal Investigation Department. On April 29, the CID probe pointed at a large-scale rigging, forcing the state government to withdraw the exam results and announce a fresh examination.
- On June 10, the CID arrested exam topper Kushal Kumar J for allegedly tampering with his optical mark recognition (OMR) sheet. The probe officials said that Kumar reportedly scored 137.25 marks out of his total score of 167.75 from the objective part of the questionnaire, which was allegedly tampered with. He had secured the first rank which was set for a total of 200 marks.
- On July 4, additional director general of police (ADGP), recruitment, Amrit Paul was arrested. He is the highest-ranking police officer arrested in connection with the case and is in police custody since then. The Karnataka Police has sought court nod to conduct a narco-analysis test on him.
- On July 7, the CID had filed a chargesheet in the case naming 34 people. Besides BJP leader Divya Hagaragi, thee chargesheet also mentioned Rudragouda Patil, an agent who played a central role in the fixing of the exam, along with his brother and local Congress functionary Mahantesh Patil.
- The Congress has been on streets demanding the resignation of Karnataka home minister Araga Jnanendra in the case. The Congress even staged a dharna outside Vidhana Soudha on July 7.
- Amid the political slugfest, the Karnataka high court questioned the Basavaraj Bommai government, if the lower rung offices can investigate the case boldly when an ADGP-rank IPS officer is an accused.
- Karnataka assembly leader of opposition and former chief minister Siddaramaiah demanded the resignation of CM Basavaraj Bommai, accusing the government of trying to cover-up the case, PTI reported. Bommai hit back, saying, "When Siddaramaiah was the Chief Minister, the question paper of the police sub-inspector recruitment exam leaked from Kalaburagi. Did he resign then? Going by this parameter, Siddaramaiah should have resigned many times."

Teachers will no longer pursue a planned boycott of standard six exams on Wednesday this week.Instead, the Solomon Islands National Teachers Association, SINTA has given government an 18.1 percent Cost of Living Adjustment claim.
SINTA Public and Industrial Relations Officer, Johnly Hatimoana says they have just learnt from the Education Permanent Secretary Mylyn Kuve last Friday, that cabinet never endorsed a 12.5 percent COLA award for teachers last year.
He says only a 5 percent COLA award was given by government.
Mr Hatimoana says they were told government never endorsed an additional 7.5 percent COLA and were disappointed they were not informed about the decision.
He however says the current 18.1 COLA submission to government is based on the cost of living adjustment from June 2008 to July first 2009.
Mr Hatimoana threatens strike action if government fails to negotiate the new COLA claim with SINTA within the next 14 days.

Speaking to reporters at the UN headquarters in New York, Mr Trump said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would arrange it “in the immediate future”.
The president also said he saw “tremendous progress” in recent efforts to ease tension between the countries.
Just a year ago, the two nations were publicly speaking of a nuclear confrontation.
“That was a very dangerous time,” the president said. “This is one year later, a much different time.”
Mr Trump said Mr Kim had asked for a second summit through what he described as a “very warm” and “beautiful” personal letter.
This echoes comments made by South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
Mr Moon recently completed a high-profile, three-day visit to Pyongyang – the first by a Southern leader to the North’s capital in a decade.
On his return to Seoul, he said Kim Jong-un wanted “complete denuclearisation quickly”, and to focus on his country’s economic development.
“[Kim] said he hoped Mike Pompeo would visit North Korea soon, and also a second summit with Trump would take place in the near future, in order to move the denuclearisation process along quickly,” Mr Moon said.
Kim Jong-un met Mr Trump in Singapore in June, the first ever meeting between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader.
The pair signed a document pledging to establish new relations, work toward “complete denuclearisation” and to build a lasting peace on the peninsula.
Since then, while the North has made overtures to the South and tried to improve its image, little concrete change has occurred.
Some critics have raised concerns that the human rights situation in North Korea has been ignored to ensure better relations.
