First Experience: Ning Li – In Search of the “Changeling” in Tokyo
When the artist Ning Li came to Tokyo, he brought with him the characteristic dustiness of his hometown Jinan, as well as the psychic stress, the discouragement, anger, and resignation of life particular to the current government of China.
For a Chinese national today, “Japan” is no doubt the emblem they know best. The thoughts towards Japan that Chinese people have refer to the war that took place 1937 and 1945. In films and television dramas, the image of the “Onigo” (“changeling”, a pejorative term for the Japanese) has taken society by storm and gradually implanted a stereotype into people’s minds. (In the past, “Onigo actors” were skinny Chinese actors playing the roles as vulgar characters but recently it has been more young Japanese actors who live in China.) Ning Li has been searching for the “Onigo” in Japan, but the only people he could find are people diverse in sensibiltiies and personality, and who have the same human emotions as him. The stereotype he had in his mind has lost its shape. At this point he then developed his concept of “Undoing”.
Naturally, the structure of the work is relatively simple but in the current situation between China and Japan, a work like this is experiencd in a very particular way. Ning Li, as he shows in the beginning of the work, ironically points to an empty, narrow-minded Chinese nationalism. His perspective, though applying different methods, also represents an ironical parallel with Makoto Aida’s approach to Japanese nationalism.
The categories of “state”, “ethnic group” and “race” are “undone”, and the position of the individual strengthened, so that the individual is not absorbed by the group any more.
There is a popular funny story. The theme for a short essay in an English exam was: “Write about your personal view on the problem of food deprivation”. The African students asked: “What is food?” The American students asked: “What is deprivation?” And the Chinese students asked: “What is a personal view’”? In China, where collectivism is esteemed, individual principles are systematically destroyed by the educational system, ideology and habits. As an artist who is living under the strong pressure of this system we can understand that Ning Li is rebelling. Looking at his initial works, its form is comparably simple and superficial. But this is no doubt due to the fact that there have been limits of time and scale. Yet what is even more important is that his theme is the collapse of the group, the wiping out of stereotypes and categories, but his research and its methods still rely on categorization. This means that when he decides on the age of the interviewees for his film he expects that these person will be representatives of his or her age group. For example, he asks: “How are you Japanese thinking about this issue?” “You Japanese junior high school boys, what do you like?” When he asks questions like this, he wants the interviewed person to answer as a representative of the group to which he or she belongs, and the questions undoubtedly include a kind of induction. By this, a precious opportunity for true exchange between individual and individual becomes ineffective; the interviews remain on the surface. And this is contrary to the artistic aim of Undoing. Without the limitation of time, Ning Li’s interviews would surely have come reached a higher standard.
Actually, since the 1980s Chinese artists have emphasized the role of the individual and worked to weaken collectivism. The dark shades of the civil movements during the Cultural Revolution still continue to shroud people’s minds. The pressure of mainstream discourse under the current system created a backlash which made Chinese contemporary art of the last thirty years opposed to the issues of social responsibility and the politicization of art. Ning Li’s way of thinking basically follows this same track. It is like a hand-me-down opinion from the 1968 student movements in the West, but when we take the specific circumstances in China into account, we can say that this kind of resistance can still claim value.
The foremost aim of r:ead is exchange. The very first unconscious step of cultural exchange is to escape from stereotypical images and to eliminate the prejudices against certain ethnic groups, and to deal with each other, individual to individual. In this way, deepening the exchange between individuals, deeper thinking will finally be generated. More than thirty years have passed since the policies of reform and openness began. China is still a relatively closed state. Especially for a Chinese artist r:ead was a most valuable experience.

Since Brendan Rodgers doesn’t have the advantage of checking social media during the time his side play, the Liverpool boss can be left open to discovering things at post match press conferences.
And, so it proved today as Rodgers was informed by the English media that two of his players (Mamadou Sakho and Philippe Coutinho) had swapped shirts with their Chelsea opponents (Samuel Eto’o and Oscar) at half-time.
Considering Liverpool went down 2-1 at Chelsea, Brendan Rodgers took it all in his stride and made some decent jokes before departing as quickly as he could.
It seems doubtful that we will see Liverpool players swap shirts with anyone at half-time under Rodgers’ watch!

When I logged onto the Lush website on Boxing Day, I was only looking for one thing: gift sets. While I would have been happy buying up a million and one bath bombs, the truth is that I already had enough of these to sink a ship with. Instead, I was looking to purchase and experience as many of Lush's seasonal collections as I could - there is something rather magical about opening up a gift set and not knowing what you're going to get inside...
When Season's Greetings arrived, I was impressed by the size of the box but rather disappointed with the design. While Lush offer both gift boxes and paper-wrapped collections, the designs are still normally rather appealing to the eye. However, I found very quickly that not only is the design of this one rather boring and slightly dated to look at, the paper itself was the cheapest excuse for wrapping that I have ever seen.
As a collector, I enjoy removing the gift wrap of every gift set that I get, and either storing it to reuse the next year or using it for scrap-booking or art projects at school. When I tried to remove the wrapping from Season's Greetings however, I found that it tore very easily and had the same consistency as cheap newspaper. Not impressed.
I researched the product and discovered that the wrapping was designed by freelance designer Sarah Bagshaw and printed onto cotton off-cuts by a company in India. While this redeemed the gift slightly, it didn't sell the concept to me 100%.
Having said this, the range of products that feature in this gift set is incredible and probably one of my favourite collections from the 2014 Christmas range. In this set, you'll find a selection of products where most of them smell rather different yet the scents compliment each other wonderfully.
This set features:
This set not only features my all time favourite bath bomb (Lord Of Misrule) but my favourite product from the Christmas range (Holly Go Lightly Bubble Bar). The fact that Lush have included a mixture of Christmas, Halloween and regular products makes this a great all-round collection.
Priced up at £33.95, this is a gift set for someone who's dedicated to the art of bathing and pampering. This is perhaps my favourite set within the £30-£40 range and would be one I would buy a few more of if they appeared on eBay at any point.
2014 Price: £33.95.


The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has submitted revised rule to the White House and missed two self imposed deadlines.
We'll start with the revised rule. On December 25th, NHTSA submitted a revised rule which could cause automakers to make backup cameras standard on vehicles. The regulation would set new rear visibility standards for light vehicles sold in the United States. Details on the regulation were not given. This is aimed at reducing the number of kids being run over and killed when a vehicle is put into reverse.
Automotive News says that automakers might install backup cameras on their whole line dependent on how strict the regulations are.
NHTSA hopes to have a rule finalized by next January.
As for the two missed self imposed deadlines, The Detroit News reports that NHTSA missed deadlines on automatic braking and requiring vehicle to vehicle communication in the next-generation of vehicles.
Last January, then NHTSA Administrator David Strickland said he planned to make a decision by December 31 on whether or not the agency would make automakers to install devices to allow vehicles to communicate with each other as a way to avoid collisions. The added benefit of this tech is the improvement in traffic flow.
“The Department of Transportation and NHTSA have made significant progress in determining the best course of action for proceeding with additional vehicle-to-vehicle communication activities and expect to announce a decision in the coming weeks,” said NHTSA.
NHTSA and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor conducted a 3,000 car study looking at this tech.
Then in May, Strickland said a decision would be made at the end of year as to whether or not new vehicles should be required to have automatic braking systems to prevent forward collisions. This technology has been shown to reduce the number of injuries and deaths on the roads. At this time, no decision has been made on this.


is dependent on RAM capacity and also on how powerful your video card is. Another speed limitation is the source hard drive, whether it is a HDD (traditional), SSD, or hybrid drive. The former is the slowest, and the first latter is the fastest. Hybrid is in between for data throughput speed. It is dependent to some extent to CPU speed, but the hard drive is your main bottleneck in starting/running programs as the data throughput is much slower than any RAM will ever be.
Changing your video card to a more powerful model will likely mean the PSU will need to be upgraded to higher wattage output than the PSU now in the system to be able to support the new card.
For your needs, replacing both DIMMS with 4 GB DIMMS x 2 is the cheapest way to go, short of replacing your system with better memory specs, hard drive support, and a more powerful PSU to run that video card. Each card is a 4 GB card, to be clear about that, no misunderstandings.
Be cheap and live with what you have, but replace the existing DIMMS with the proper ones.
Remember, once upon a time, 32 MB RAM was enough.


text: Geological evidence indicates that rocks of the Cherokee Group (Des Moinesian) were the source of the petroleum which has accumulated in the Cherokee petroleum province of southeastern Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma. In order to test this source rock hypothesis, 2 subsurface sections of the Cherokee Group were subjected to a geological and organic-geochemical study. One section is located in the Burbank oil field, Osage County, Oklahoma, and the other in the Thrall oil field, Greenwood County, Kansas. Both fields are productive from shoestring-sand reservoirs and yield petroleums of virtually identical composition. The Cherokee Group at these 2 localities is divisible into cyclothems which are characterized by a variety of lithologic types including coal, underclay, sandstone, greenish gray shale, gray shale, black shale, and limestone. It is evident that the Cherokee Group was deposited in sedimentary environments which fluctuated from non-marine to marine. Organic-geochemical studies included the determination of organic-carbon and hydrocarbon contents, and saturate-to-aromatic and hydrocarbon-to-organic-carbon ratios of the rocks. Organic composition, like lithology, shows extreme vertical variability, although principal lithologic types have characteristic organic compositions. Despite this internal variability, the organic composition of the Cherokee Group as a whole is very similar at Burbank and Thrall. This observation substantiates the hypothesis that the non-reservoir facies of the Cherokee Group were the source of the petroleum in the shoestring sands, because it would be expected that crude oils of similar type would be derived from sedimentary sequences of similar organic composition. Other implications of these results are: 1) organic composition and source rock quality are inherent properties of sedimentary rocks and are a function of depositional environment; 2) composition of crude oil is controlled by the parent source rock section; 3) saturate-type hydrocarbons migrate from the source rock more readily than aromatic types; 4) the amount of indigenous hydrocarbons in shales is a function of the amount of organic carbon (organic matter) in the rock; and 5) primary migration is a very inefficient process and causes the removal of only a small part of the hydrocarbons from the source rock.

Setting the Scene
Baurus, Vengeance, Aeitius and Silmarien had traveled to Brightkeep in search of the mysterious Starfire. He was building a device known as the Gaze and its power would rival that of the gods. They had to stop him.
Once inside the Feywild academy, they found him in a room with the device. He spoke, “We finally meet.” Then in a flash of light, they all vanished.
The Astral Ship
You’re surrounded by stars. A black void with billions of small lights flickering around you. You are alone in the silence. A small whisper to your left. A mother, reassuring her child that everything will be fine. Another whisper behind you. Something about the God’s Chosen. The protectors. A whisper above you. Nothing can undo what he has put in motion.
Moments later, the distant stars coalesce and come together, painting a picture of the Astral Sea. A ship is beneath your feet. The mysterious eladrin stands at the front of the ship next to his device, a field of energy surrounds him as he begins chanting.
Flanking ships near and githyanki pirates descend onto your ship, positioning themselves between you and the field of energy. Roll initiative.
Silmarien destroys a number of githyanki with a blast of fire. The others begin damaging the shield barrier that is protecting Starfire and the Gaze. Moments later, he looks at them angrily and fires the Gaze directly at them. They vanish in white light and become weightless.
Halls of Creation
You walk thru the Halls of Creation. You can see through paintings the history of a world known as Prime. You see the Fold and the distant island of Aer among others. The Darkness came in the beginning. A dying universe. Oberyths. The Overgod. Two things lost to time. Although Chigaru has fragments of these memories.
Tapestries along the walls paint pictures of the world as it is. In one, a city deep within the Realm of the Vines displays pictures of horror and destruction. Another, a floating citadel over a field of Tors – an army rebuilding a fallen fortress. A third, displays pure darkness. A feeling you just left. These are portals into the world.
The third portal leads to the Depth of Worlds – the darkest place in the universe where these heroes just defeated Orcus. Three knows that without sealing this doorway, they will need to return often to prevent something horrible from coming through. He only knows one way to seal it, as Haramathur did before him. He received divine insight that he could go on living, should he attempt to give himself over to seal it.
Three prepared the ritual, said goodbye to his friends, and knelt before the tapestry. He laid his blade and holy symbol on the floor in front of him. As he gave himself to seal the Depth of Worlds, Haramathur intervened, giving his remaining half to seal it instead. “Watch over our people,” were the gods last words. The presence of Haramathur disappeared and Three ascended to godhood to take his place in the heavens.
Shortly after, the others prayed to Three for divine guidance in helping the people in the first tapestry. In a flash of lightning, a sword slammed into the ground. Three send justice to them and One came to be around the sword. They all chose the portal to the Realm of the Vines.
The Tomb of Horrors
Starfire’s chanting stops. He turns, eyes angry. The device turns with him and a sudden blinding light is unleashed in your direction. All goes dark and weightless.
You see an island. A cold, desolate tomb that chills you to the bone. You can almost feel the cold. A hopeless feeling rises within you as your senses come to. You and your allies are no longer weightless. The vision has stopped. The tomb remains. You have returned to your worst nightmare.
The party has four rounds (as a d4 acts as the timer) to find their way out of this room in the Tomb of Horrors before this timeline ceases to exist and they all die with it. Baurus is excited to be traversing a dungeon again and quickly finds hidden panels leading to their exit.
The Astral Ship Part 2
They are teleported back to the ship from the Tomb of Horrors. Githyanki swarm it now. The party fights their way through them and continues damaging the shield. Baurus wants to take the ship down after witnessing the power of the Gaze. He destroys one wing of the ships and it begins to veer to the right. Then they are teleported again by the Gaze.
The Tomb of Horrors part 2
They return to a chapel in the tomb. After triggering a few traps and taking damage, Vengeance finds the way out.
The Astral Ship Part 3
Back on the ship, githyanki swarm once again. Ships are now descending on them. Hundreds of githyanki poised to board the ship. Suddenly, the ships around them come under fire and one is taken out completely. The Transcursus blazes past them and a voice inside their heads says, “Focus on him, gents. I’ve got the rest.” The party knows then that Jinroy the Mindsinger has come to the rescue.
“I need more time. I’m so sorry for bringing us here. But I need more time.” Only then do you realize how low the ship is flying. As the ship descends below the trees, you see buildings and towers. Then a crash. You’re thrown to the deck, hanging on as the ship comes to stop. Stones and chunks of marble fall all around you. Within seconds, all is still and quiet. And then screams fill your ears as you notice the terrified citizens running about. Some buildings have been flattened and others are on fire. Pure chaos. Then you hear it…"
A world-shattering roar sends your head spinning. Immediately, a gust of wind hits you and dust flies up. You see the shockwave continue into the forest, evaporating trees in its wake.
As you turn, your heart sinks.
At this point, using Fate-style zones, the party fights the Tarrasque. Baurus sets fire to a warehouse to get the beast’s attention. Then proceeds to climb the beast. Vengeance gets to the battlements and positions a ballista, where he begins firing. Once he has the beast’s attention, it comes for him. Aeitius puts up a wall between them, buying the crew more time. Meanwhile, Silmarien helps Starfire rebuild the machine to the point they can use it against the Tarrasque.
A few rounds later, the Gaze fires, tearing thru the beast’s shoulder and dealing significant damage. Silmarien uses Crack the World again, underneath the beast. He sends his griffon to pick up Baurus just in time. The Tarrasque appears to have a hold and won’t fall into the chasm but Baurus delivers a critical hit, reducing its HP to 0 and it slides back into the earth for another long slumber.
They turn to Starfire, who looks utterly defeated.
A shooting star streaks the night sky. Starfire’s eyes light up in sudden terror, “It’s no star, it’s the worldbreaker, Iosphael. The Gaze can still defeat him. Without it, he will consume our world. Allow me to fire it. One. Last. Time.”
The party agrees, as long as its destroyed after. They rebuild it. Starfire takes off his ring, stars wreathed in flame, and tosses it into the chasm behind the Tarrasque. “It is done. Your victory. My failure. I am Starfire no more.”
They fire the device into the night sky. A horrifying scream echoes across the sky and a ripple is sent out with it. Light consumes them all.

Leicestershire’s Police and Crime Commissioner Lord Willy Bach said:
“Today’s announcement will be welcomed by those calling for more officers in on the streets and in our communities. I echo those sentiments. This is why I invested much of the increase in funding derived from the rise in the police portion of the council tax in 2019-20 in 107 additional officers.
“The Government’s uplift will see Leicestershire able to recruit around 80 more police officers in the 2020-21 financial year. They, alongside the extra 107 officers already in my budget this year, will help to increase police visibility and accessibility.
“But, don’t forget, Leicestershire police has lost 550 officers since 2010 as a result of the funding cuts, a position made worse by the present funding formula which financially puts Leicestershire at a disadvantage.
“In 2006 we had one officer per 430 residents. Today, with the cuts and significant growth in population, we currently have one officer per 600-plus residents and we also tackle an increasingly complex set of challenges, risks and threats.
“Clearly we need to look at the detail of the settlement for Leicestershire but at first glance it appears that the Government expects PCCs to increase the amount of council tax paid towards policing by a Band D property by £10 a year. Depending on the property band this amount could be higher or lower.
“Personally, I believe more funds should come from the Government rather than the local taxpayer, but there is no escaping the fact that we need this increase. Without it we would need to take significant cost-cutting measures.
“The Government’s headline grabbing 20,000 additional officers is not all it seems to be. In addition to protecting our current position, there are the infrastructure costs associated with the increase in police officer numbers, recruitment, training, ICT, vehicles and equipment, and those non-salary costs are not captured in the on-costs of police officers.
“So, while I cautiously welcome today’s announcement I will wait until the finance team have had time to scrutinise it in full, and what it really means for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, before I present my budget to the Police and Crime Panel on 5 February.

Animated Room Background Setting (Free Project Files)
In this guide, we’ll learn how to use simple techniques to animate a background that is very versatile and often used in explainer videos. Download the project files so you can follow along.
Organize your files. Divide the layers in Illustrator – every moving object needs to be on a separate layer. Import in After Effects and pre-compose the main elements
Animate the paintings. You can do that by simply animating the scale and rotation keyframes.
Animate the sofa. For the main part, you need to animate the rotation, position, and scale keyframes. For the cushions – only the position.
Animate the bookshelf with the books. With the cabinet itself, we animate the scale. Then to animate the shelves, we convert the layer into a shape layer and animate the path keyframe.
We also want to make the books on the shelves move. To do that, we use Animation Composer 3 – a free plugin that you can download here. You can see the exact presets that we use in the video. Next, we offset the books. To save time, we use another free plugin – Shifter by AEJuicer Tools.
We animate the box on top of the bookshelf with the position, rotation, and scale keyframes.
Animate the plant. First, make sure to parent the leaves to the branches and the branches to the pot layer. We animate the pot’s position and rotation keyframes. For each branch and leaf, we animate the rotation keyframes.
Animate the cabinet. We do this by animating the position keyframe for the base and offsetting the keyframes of the objects above.
Animating the piano. For the piano, we animate the position and rotation keyframes. Then we mask the sheet music and animate the scale keyframes. The clock is animated with Animation Composer 3. For the boxes on top of the piano, we animate the position and rotation and offset the keyframes.
We hope this tutorial has helped you create beautiful animation. Make sure you subscribe to our Youtube channel for more After Effects tutorials.

Via Slate, here’s an interesting map that shows automobile ownership per capita across the Twin Cities’ metro. It’s from a recent Trulia dataset that does this for the whole country, and lets you easily glimpse the car ownership rates across the country.
Here’s the TC:
Two basic patterns emerge: the low-car areas correspond with both areas of poverty, and areas where there is a high level of walkability and transit service. You can see both of those patterns in the map data here, with low levels of car ownership both in and around downtown Minneapolis and in Phillips or North Minneapolis.
Henry Grabar did a write up of the map on Slate that came to the same conclusion
In dense, transit-rich cities like New York and Boston, vehicle ownership is more closely linked to population density than to income. What kind of neighborhood you live in is likely to align with whether you own a car, or two. In places like Los Angeles and Houston, vehicle ownership is much more closely tied to income. Families who make more money buy more cars.
This map could serve as a useful shorthand for where to focus transit and pedestrian improvements in the Twin Cities.

By SETH J. FRANTZMAN
There has been a lot of talk about bad sportsmanship after a judo match at the Rio Olympics in which Egyptian athlete Islam el-Shahaby refused to shake the hand of his Israeli opponent Or Sasson. The hand shaking incident came after a Saudi judoka forfeited a match in order to avoid competing against an Israeli. A Lebanese Olympic team refused to share a bus with Israelis, bringing comparisons to apartheid in one oped.
Some have responded that its ridiculous to demand all politics be set aside for the Olympics. Ruby Hamad argues that not only has there been other political displays at the games, but that Israel’s treatment of Palestinian Olympic athletes deserves “pushback.”
But while it is true there are some other political issues at the Olympics, Israel is the only team systematically subjected to discrimination. It took 44 years just to honor the 11 Israeli athletes murdered in 1972 at the Olympics. For years the Olympic Committee rejected commemoration of the victims, claiming ceremonies were not the right “atmosphere” to remember the “tragic incident.” If it had been 11 American athletes or 11 Russians or 11 Congolese, they would have been remembered and it wouldn’t have taken 44 years. Only with Israel is the view that commemoration is controversial.
Why is Israel the only country where it is justifiable based on “politics” to not shake hands and forfeit matches or block them from buses? It is part of the overall pathological hatred for Israel where the country is singled out, above all over countries, for visceral hatred. Let’s say, that you think that Olympic athletes should be judged for their country’s actions. Ok. So why do people shake hands with Saudi Athletes who come from an extremist religious dictatorship that discriminates against women? Why shake hands with Syrian athletes representing the Bashar al-Assad regime that has displaced 11 million people and killed 400,000? Most Syrians can’t compete in the Olympics because they have been forced to become refugees and their cities destroyed. Why is it for years everyone shook the hands of athletes from Iraq, despite Saddam Hussein’s genocide.
Stalin’s athletes were kosher despite the Ukrainian famine. The athletes from the colonial European countries were perfectly fine to receive good sportsmanship. North Koreans? Not a problem. Afghanistan didn’t participate in the 2000 games, but if they had, people would have gladly boarded a bus with the Taliban’s athletes, even if they had just finished practicing in a stadium where women in burkas were shot in the back of the head for “adultery.” Iran’s athletes come to the games after having walked passed the gallows used to hang people. South Africa was banned from the Olympics due to its Apartheid era policies in 1964 (lifted in 1992), but for some reason the Cambodian genocide wasn’t a reason to ban Cambodia. And of course, Khmer Rouge athletes were welcomed.
Of course it seems silly for someone to refuse to shake the hands of a Syrian athlete due to Assad’s barrel bombs. He’s just a runner, a pole vaulter, not complicit in the regimes’ atrocities. Only, only, with Israel are the athletes blamed and treated differently for the country. No one refuses to shake the hands of the Americans over a 15 year military occupation of Afghanistan. Of course not. No one would punish a British athlete just because they were upset over Tony Blair’s Iraq policy.
Algeria’s crimes during the civil war? Not grounds for match forfeiting. Russia’s actions in Ukraine? Not an issue. And of course, no one would punish the Egyptian athlete for the policies of Abdel Fatah al-Sisi. That’s ridiculous. How could you blame someone doing judo for his government, people would say. But Israel. Well they should be victimized. There’s a debate about it. Maybe their athletes deserve it. It’s understandable.
And here’s a question. If you are outraged by the treatment meted out to the Israelis by the “bad sportsmanship,” ask yourself why it is that all the other athletes don’t show solidarity with their Israeli peers and refuse to show sportsmanship to the Lebanese, Saudis and Egyptians and others who have thrown away the “Olympic spirit.” Because no athlete will stand with their Israeli peer and demand sportsmanship. Of course not.
It might send a message if every time an athlete from a country refused to shake hands with an Israeli, that all the other athletes in that sport then refused to shake hands with the offender.
Remember, Israel is the Jew among the nations. Am Yisrael Chai now and forever

with all due respect and understanding of our Jewish sensibilities, concerns and right, i gotta note that some in our midst, in particular author of this piece, clearly have such a worldview in which our suffering and conflicts obscure all others. how can you say Israel is the only country subjected to mistreatment at these Games, when Russia has had many of its athletes–mind you, RIGHTFULLY!–disqualified? has this guy not heard of spat between Leslie King and Efimova? of Russian boxers being booed?

Hello and Happy New Year!
2020 seems to have started quickly with January almost over in the blink of an eye. I’m popping in to inspire you to get your year off to a creative start.
Darkroom Door has released a brilliant new collection of stamps and stencils and Rachel has kindly gifted me with some stamps so I can share a bunch of new projects with you. First up are some projects using the wonderful Darkroom Door Warm Wishes rubber stamp set.
I love the fineness of line in these stamps, they are so delicate and I think will become a firm favourite with me and hopefully many of you. They are so easy to create with, simply stamped onto book paper as in this tag trio or coloured up with any of the myriad of supplies available.
There is something about simple black and white, classic and modern at the same time. To create this trio, I simply stamped the stems onto book paper then glued it onto small tags. A bit of black ink around the edges, some sentiments and a bit of fussy tying at the top and the trio were done. Warm Wishes comes with a nice set of words and phrases that will suit a range of occasions.
The lovely long stems make it so easy to ink different parts separately. I’ve done that with the stem for this tent folded card using Wendy Vecchi inks. The bottom was shaped using a Spellbinders die but you could just as easily add a punched edge instead.
The stems from Warm Wishes work well as single flowers but also in pairs and trios. I’ve used a pair of similar size for this colourful tag, simply stamped onto book paper then fussy cut. I love the soft creaminess the book paper gives to the images.
If you are wondering about the background – it was made using Dylusions Shimmer spray. I simply sprayed a couple of colours over my tag then laid some crinkled clingwrap over the top. Once it was dry, the tag had a wonderful abstract background with a beautiful shimmer. Of course, being Dylusions smearing a scrape of gesso over to knock back some of the colour results in a faded, pastel type effect. I love the tone on tone effect in this type of background – perfect for my flower stems.

I hope you have enjoyed this little snippet of inspiration. Make sure you pop over to Darkroom Door to see the rest of the January 2020 release!

Book Look: Olivia, Mourning
OLIVIA, MOURNING is part of a series.
The book begins at her dreary home where Olivia would rather stand outside in the cold than go in and be bossed around. She decides that she will take advantage of a loop hole in her uncle's will, which allows her to head north to Michigan to try to farm. She is a bookworm, who has only known city life. What chance does she have on the frontier?
Her saving grace is her friendship with the freed Negro, Mourning Free. He has grown up with Olivia, and he is willing to take his life somewhere else though they must be careful in a society of Jim Crow laws not to look like a couple.
Mourning knows so much more than Olivia about almost everything in life, from healing blisters to bargaining for oxen to meeting the neighbors. Olivia breaks down more than once, knowing she can not tame the land without the help of a man. The locals don't seem to care to make friends except one annoying couple and her late father's mistress.
Much of the book takes us through frontier life and hardships, which I enjoyed. The end of the book begins with a horrific attack. Olivia and Mourning: will they both survive? What will become of them if it's one without the other? Oh, there are so many obstacles to overcome even as they are victims of savagery. One star deducted for the sudden ending, which seems like a writer's ploy to get us to read the next book. However, these characters are so well developed and refreshingly individual, I am will to forgive Ms. Politis the cliff-hanger ending and get on with the next volume, because I have to know what the outcome it.
Reader's advice to author: Bring part of book 2 into the conclusion of 1 because this is a grand adventure, but no one wants to feel bushwhacked on the final page.

The Illinois Family Institute, a state affiliate of the American Family Association, is, not surprisingly, an anti-marriage-equality organization and its executive director, David E. Smith, a fundamentalist bigot (Smith succeeded Peter LaBarbera in the position; Laurie Higgins is their director of school advocacy). The IFI is also a vociferous opponent of abortion, the separation of church and state, “activist judges”, gambling and drugs, and was correctly designated a hate group by the SPLC.
In spring 2013, when a law legalizing same-sex marriage was postponed by the Illinois legislature, Smith was ready to explain why: “The Body of Christ here in Illinois has risen up and has really made a noise and made a really concerted effort to make sure that our state lawmakers know without a doubt that we object to the idea of them redefining marriage,” Smith said: “They do not have the moral authority to redefine marriage as God created it.” This was not the reason for postponement. Moreover, neither Smith nor his fellows at the Illionis Family Institute have the power to raise zombie Jesus, even though they probably wouldn’t be prevented from doing so by alignment restrictions.
Later Smith sent out a fundraising appeal where he warned that if activists failed to stop marriage equality legislation in Illinois, “America will collapse” like Sodom and Gomorrah, and compared his fight against the “evil agenda” of gay rights to that of American soldiers in WW2: “We should be inspired to defend marriage with the same courage, conviction, tenacity, and sacrifice that the greatest generation fought to defend American principles and to honor their fallen. If we don’t stop the enemy from achieving his goal of destroying the family, there won’t be any monuments to visit.” Yes, it’s always the end of everything; only apostates would ask for evidence or reasons.
In 2012, IFI called for parents to remove their children from classrooms led by teachers who support LGBT-related instruction; in particular, in their document “Challenge Teachers, Not Books” they encouraged parents to “object to teachers rather than texts”, and offered suggestions for parents who are “fed up with the subtle and not so subtle messages that activist teachers of a liberal bent work into their classroom teaching through their classroom comments, curricular materials ... and even their desks and classroom displays.” The IFI has also for a long time advocated teaching creationism in public schools, ostensibly as a way to present “both sides of an argument” (they aren’t really interested in both sides, even if there were two sides, which there aren’t), and have made recommendations to Illinois educators to keep explicit references to evolution out of public school classrooms in Illinois.
Diagnosis: Fundie loons, and though they have probably lost the war people like Smith are still trying their best to cause as much harm as possible. A real, if relatively minor, threat to civilization.

Prior Verge Fusee Pocket Watch … Germany Staiger Alarm Clock … Elgin National Pocket Watch … Seth Thomas Mantle Clock … Antique Leroy Repeater Pocket Watch
What do the above have in common? Well, besides being timekeepers, all of them are examples of old, classic, and antique clocks and watches.
Antique clocks and watches were made using different materials, styles, styles, and sizes long, long back. The ability to precisely identify and research on this antique clocks and watches are very important then because of the diversity, as well as the number, of clock and watchmakers and producers all over the world.
If we are going to trace the history of clocks and watches, we would be back to the late 14th century when the first clock was made. In the early years, as well as lots of centuries over, mechanical clocks and watches were so uncommon and made by couple of that only rulers and noblemen had such. The typical people, particularly those in Europe, need to rely on the couple of public clocks that are current.
Most of clocks and watches made from the 15th to the middle of the 17th century are now mostly in museums and a little portion in different individuals’ personal collection. Many people will never ever set eyes on these timekeepers nor will be able to acknowledge them.
Lots of antique clock and watch collectors would agree that durations in history considerably affected the products and designs of clocks and watches, such that these timekeepers were not only utilized for time measurement, but as decoration too. Also, they were made with such high quality that with appropriate care and maintenance, they are apt to last several centuries.
There are a number of things that you may take into consideration if you are a collector or just a one time buyer of an antique clock or watch – besides the reality that it need to be interesting, lovely, befitting your needs or you desire it to be a part of your life and home for many years.
Any changes made on them will reduce the worth of the antique clock or watch.
- Rarity. Common sense determines that the rarity of anything brings worth. To determine rarity, research is needed, which may be costly and time consuming. When done, nevertheless, it may result into identification of clocks and watches that have exceptional worth.
- Provenance. Determining the origin of the timepiece, like rarity, can affect the value of the clock or watch considerably. This likewise is done through research and documents.
The worths of clocks and watches vary from a couple of to several thousand dollars, though there are those that total up to a million or two. Figuring out a timepiece’s worth, however, can just be done if the four locations discussed above are well looked into or investigated. You must browse, therefore, for an authority that is honest and with stability to help you before buying.

MOSCOW, December 29. /TASS/. Before the end of the outgoing year the Orlan-10 drones will be delivered to a unit of the Eastern Military District in Chukotka, the district’s press service told TASS on Monday.
“The command staff and operators have completed training at the multiservice drone control center in the Moscow region. Before the end of the current year specialists with several Orlan-10 sets will arrive at the permanent service base - the Anadyr-Ugolny aerodrome,” a district official said.
According to him, the first trial flights of the drones in the low temperature conditions are planned in early 2015.
Next year it is planned to organise trial combat duty of the drone unit in Chukotka for objective terrain monitoring, drilling combat training tasks in the near maritime zone and performing flights in the area of stationing of the military district’s Arctic units on the Wrangel Island and Cape Otto Schmidt.The drones will ensure sea navigation security and conduct coastal air reconnaissance over Russian territorial waters.
A combined Arctic strategic command went operational on December 1 in Russia's northernmost regions. The formation of the Arctic military command is part of Russia’s ongoing extensive program to build up its presence in the Arctic. Last March, President Vladimir Putin said that the armed forces’ training and development efforts should incorporate measures to increase the combat component of the Arctic group. The Defense Ministry has since made several steps along these lines. Russia’s Defense Ministry is going to build 13 airdromes and 10 radars in the Arctic.
Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said in late October that Russia will have full radar coverage of the Arctic region this year, while next year it will be ready “to meet unwanted guests” both from the north and from the east.

A GREAT BUSINESS MODEL – Profit From The Suffering of Others!
Wednesday, January 8, 2014 | By Scott | No CommentsBUSINESS EXAMINER – January, 2014 by KATIE SCAFF
“There’s an underlying growth in the population of patients that need dialysis. That population growth is roughly four percent,” said Jim Hilger, DaVita’s chief accounting officer.
DaVita operates in 44 states, has 53,000 employees and pulled in more than $12 billion in revenue last year. This is up from operating in 42 states with 32,500 employees and $5.7 billion in revenue in 2008. DaVita has been opening about 75 new clinics each year across the country.
“For our dialysis business, we weren’t really affected by the downturn of the economy and that’s because of our patients. The healthcare service we provide these patients is life sustaining,” Hilger said. “It’s a very stable business.”
Long story short: patients will show up for treatment regardless of the state of the economy — good or bad.Recession, recovery haven’t dampened DaVita’s growth Company officials excited about future of employer-focused Paladina system READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE

In the Intel® Stratix® 10 Analog to Digital Converter User Guide, you may notice that on-chip voltage sensor in Intel® Stratix® 10 devices can monitor multiple internal power supplies, including VCCIO_SDM and VCCPT which are both 1.8V power rails.
While in the Intel® Stratix® 10 Device Datasheet, Table 68 specifies the input signal range of the Intel® Stratix® 10 Voltage Sensor is from 0V to 1.24V. suggesting that 1.8V power rails like VCCIO_SDM and VCCPT may exceed this specification.
However, the 1.8V voltage goes into a built-in divider before entering the ADC, so it can match the specification of the input signal range.
This detail is scheduled to be added in a future release of the Intel® Stratix® 10 Analog to Digital Converter User Guide.

Not taking a shot against the game, but I seem to be playing games specifically on the game pad vs the traditional way of controller + TV, and ZombiU needs both the TV and the game pad. I just got Batman on Monday, and I've put more hours into that than ZombiU which I've had since launch.
The only downside to Batman is that you have to enter Game Pad mode every single time the game is booted up; where as, games like AC3, NSMBU, Darksiders 2, etc. either a.) recognize that the TV is not on/not on the right INPUT mode, or b.) save the preferences with the save game and load the game specifically on the Game Pad when starting up.

Aussie streaming giant Stan and Roadshow Films are set for a court showdown with right-wing group for adopting their name from the upcoming Romper Stomper series.
A joint statement by Stan and Roadshow Productions said the companies were aware of media reports linking their upcoming drama series Romper Stomper to the group referring to themselves as Patriot Blue, who made headlines this week for verbally abusing Senator Sam Dastyari.
“Media has reported that this group has taken the name Patriot Blue from Romper Stomper, an upcoming fictional TV drama commissioned by Stan and produced by Roadshow Rough Diamond,” the statement said.
“Stan and Roadshow Productions would like to clarify that while our series does refer to a purely fictional group created for the series called Patriot Blue, there is no association between our organisations or the Romper Stomper production team and those involved in yesterday’s incident. We strongly condemn the actions of this group and racial discrimination in all its forms.
“The group involved have misappropriated the name of the fictional group from the series. Stan and Roadshow Productions today instructed law firm Gilbert & Tobin to take appropriate legal action in relation to the infringement of the Patriot Blue trademark, and use of the Stan name on Facebook.

Environment report not likely to seek fracking ban by Neil Reid, November 25, 2012, FairFax NZ News
Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment Jan Wright will on Tuesday release her report on fracking, which involves injecting a mixture of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into rock masses, from as little as several hundred metres underground, to help release oil and gas. The report follows an eight-month investigation instigated after it was revealed fracking was being undertaken without consent, and some operations had polluted the air, groundwater and soil. As Wright prepares to table her report in Parliament, the Star-Times has learnt that any suggestions to either ban fracking or allow it to be continued but with stricter guidelines and consent processes, would instead be included in a second, yet-to-be completed report. Wright’s investigation comes at a time when a growing number of overseas countries are banning fracking due to environmental disasters and reported links to an increase in seismic activity. Fracking has been carried out in New Zealand for more than 20 years, with numerous operations by energy companies without specific consent from local councils.
Green Party energy spokesman Gareth Hughes said if Wright did not make a binding stand on fracking in her report, he would call on the Government to order a moratorium on fracking until the procedure was proven safe. “Until it can be proven we have got a robust regulatory regime to protect our environment, we shouldn’t be undertaking this massive expansion which is currently planned,” Hughes said. Hughes has provided the Star-Times with a dossier of alleged fracking incidents in New Zealand, including a lack of consent, dumping of fluids in public waterways, groundwater and soil contamination, air pollution and a failure by officials to scrutinise chemicals being used. Earlier this month, Todd Energy released the 178-page submission it had provided Wright’s investigation. In it, the energy company – which has a history of fracking in Taranaki – said New Zealand’s multibillion-dollar energy industry would be uneconomic if fracking was outlawed. Todd Energy chief executive Paul Moore argued the practice could be done safely. “We need to do it – but we also need to assure the public that we’re doing it well,” he said. “We believe the way to do this is to be totally transparent. All we want to do is honestly say to everyone that we are wanting to do the right thing, that we are fully committed to New Zealand and our environment.” Hughes said a previous 2011 report from the company found that discharge of fracking fluids in Taranaki resulted in groundwater contamination that was unsuitable for drinking, stock use or for irrigation.

Race Car Aerodynamics Designing for Speed - The book combines clear explanations, illustrations and photos to help the enthusiast understand a complex subject, with invaluable reference material, including equations, for the professional race car engineer.
Race Car Aerodynamics is the first book to summarize the secrets of the rapidly developing field of high-speed vehicle design. Over the past 15 years, author Joseph Katz has been involved with aerodynamic development in the most competitive areas of motorsport today. From Formula One, to Indy Car, Drag and Sedan Racing, this book provides clear explanations for both engineers who wants to improve their design skills and enthusiasts who simply want to understand how their favorite race cars go fast. How aerodynamics wins races. Why downforce is more important than streamlining and drag reduction. Designing wings and venturis -what works and what doesn't. Wind tunnel designs, Methods and results-what you can and cannot believe.
Full definitions of terms, with equations and examples provided for determining key aerodynamic parameters like drag, lift and side-force coefficients, fluid viscosity, or wind-tunnel corrections. Numerous examples using specific race cars, passenger-based prototypes, and open-wheel designs. Special overview section reviews the fundamentals of aerodynamics.


Hoping to take on Meerkat and other competitors, Twitter is finally making its streaming service, Periscope, publicly available. (Right now, on the first day, somebody is using it to live-stream a fire in New York City.)
Like Meerkat, the darling of this year's CES, Periscope lets you use your phone to live-stream video to anyone. Unlike Meerkat, Periscope allows replays of streams, meaning there's finally a rewind button for when you miss an unspeakably important stream. Users can opt out of making their streams replayable if they wish, meaning that, with the click of a button, that moment is lost forever. Periscope has a "like" button in the form of a stream of infinite hearts that can be pressed over and over.
The future really is out there, whether it's a news broadcast, a conspiracy rant, or a ham salad recipe. And now streams of those can be watched over and over.

Chapters 12–14 Summary
Last Updated on June 8, 2022, by eNotes Editorial. Word Count: 1001
On the boat to Denmark, Helga happily leaves behind her life in New York, firm in her conviction that she didn’t belong there. When the bell rings for dinner, she is for a moment nervous to enter the dining room, until the purser—or steward—remembers her as “the little dark girl who had crossed with her mother years ago” and puts her at ease.
The ship’s crossing is smooth and the people are kind. Helga finds herself remembering the Danish she spoke so easily as a child, and she spends much of her time on deck, “reveling like a released bird in her returned feeling of happiness and freedom, that blessed sense of belonging to herself alone and not to a race.” She feels that she has left behind her time in New York, with the exception of her encounters with Dr. Anderson, who continues to figure in her thoughts. She briefly considers that she might be in love with him, but she quickly dismisses the idea as humiliating and impossible.
As the ship docks in Copenhagen, Helga wonders if her escape to Europe was perhaps a poor idea. The memory of Uncle Peter’s wife’s rejection of her, and concerns about how her aunt’s husband might respond to her, cause her to doubt herself. Overwhelmed by the crowd that has gathered to welcome the passengers to land, Helga worries how she will even find her aunt in the throng. Fortunately, her eyes alight on a woman whose “resemblance to [Helga’s] own mother was unmistakable.” The woman is accompanied by her husband, Fru Dahl, and the couple welcomes Helga warmly. There is much laughter and chatter, and thus Helga begins her new life in Copenhagen.
Aunt Katrina and Fru Dahl are wealthy, and Helga easily adapts to their life of luxury. She feels at home surrounded by beautiful things, knowing that “this was her proper setting.”
After a post-arrival nap, Helga awakens to find her aunt is arranging for them to go out to tea. Going through Helga’s clothing, Katrina tells Helga that she must wear bright and exotic colors in order to “make an impression.” Katrina is determined to use her niece to advance “the social fortunes of the Dahls of Copenhagen,” and she promises Helga that they’ll go shopping to acquire a more colorful wardrobe. Helga has a few moments of doubt. Her own aesthetic tastes are subtle and refined, and so she worries that her aunt might bedeck her in “flaunting flashy things.” As Helga walks on the street, earning stares from passersby, she feels “like a veritable savage,” though Fru and Herr Dahl ignore the pedestrians’ reactions.
The tea goes well, as does dinner later, but Helga feels like “some new strange species of pet dog being proudly exhibited.” The dress she wears exposes much more skin than any other woman in the room, though Helga enjoys the male attention that falls on her. The women are unthreatened, for Helga “was attractive, unusual, in an exotic, almost savage way, but she wasn’t one of them. She didn’t count at all.”
Towards the evening’s end, a new guest, Axel Olsen, an artist, arrives. After he is introduced to Helga, he stares at her for an extended period of time, making Helga uncomfortable under his gaze. He addresses no words to her directly, but murmurs adjectives describing her appearance. Eventually, she learns that Olsen paints portraits, and Fru Dahl has commissioned the artist to paint her. Helga finds it funny that “here she was, a curiosity, a stunt, at which people came and gazed.” It’s startling to her that, after an entire life looking after herself, she is suddenly completely under the care of Aunt Katrina and Herr Dahl. Unsure of how she feels about this shift in her independence, she goes to bed thinking how very different Denmark is from America.
Olsen accompanies Helga and Katrina on their shopping excursion the next day, and Helga is awed by his “stupendous arrogance.” Seeing her status as “a decoration. A curio. A peacock” firmly established, Helga allows Olsen to select her new clothes and Katrina to pay for them. Excited by the strikingly colorful wardrobe she now owns, Helga is “incited to make an impression” and gives herself up “wholly to the fascinating business of being seen, gaped at, desired.” Her ego relishes this newfound self-importance. Ensconced in her European life, she resolves “never to return to the existence of ignominy which the New World of opportunity and promise forced upon Negroes.” In fact, rarely do her thoughts turn to America.
The charm of Copenhagen wins Helga over, and she spends many hours walking and exploring her new home and marveling at the “general air of well-being which pervaded it.” Her long walks are balanced by lively dinner parties or afternoon coffees in which the conversation is bright and she basks in the admiration of others. Though she misses dancing, she finds enjoyment in ice skating.
Axel Olsen has now become a fixture in Helga’s life. They see each other regularly, for Olsen is painting Helga’s portrait, and he seems to take “delight in her exotic appearance.” He makes no insinuations of love or intentions of marriage, but Helga wonders if it is “race that kept him silent, held him back.”
When Aunt Katrina brings up the subject of marriage when they are at coffee at one afternoon, Helga tells Katrina that she doesn’t “believe in mixed marriages… They brought only trouble—to the children—as she herself knew but too well from bitter experience.” She asks her aunt if she agrees that “miscegenation [is] wrong, in fact as well as principle,” a question Katrina brushes away by redirecting the topic of conversation to Axel Olsen and insinuating that Helga should consider marrying Herr Olsen. Fru Fischer arrives and interrupts the conversation between aunt and niece, leaving Helga feeling cold and disturbed.

- Rio Tinto to add solar plant to its Diavik Diamond Mine in Canada with 6,600 bifacial solar panels
- The solar plant will come alongside 55.4 MW operational diesel and wind hybrid facility
- It will account for up to 25% of the mine’s electricity during closure work that will run until 2029
Anglo-American metals and minerals miner Rio Tinto will add a solar PV facility with bifacial solar panels to power Canada’s largest diamond producing mine, the Diavik Diamond Mine, saying it will be the ‘largest’ solar power plant across Canada’s territories. The solar project is backed by the Canadian government’s Clean Electricity Investment Tax Credit of CAD 600,000 ($446,472).
Additionally, the Government of the Northwest Territories is also supporting the solar power plant with CAD 3.3 million ($2.46 million) through its Large Emitters GHG Reducing Investment Grant Program. It is the 1st project to be funded under this program, according to the miner.
The mine produces 3.5 million to 4.5 million carats of rough diamonds every year.
The bifacial solar plant with more than 6,600 solar panels will generate close to 4,200 MWh of clean energy annually, sufficient for it to account for up to 25% of the mine’s electricity during closure work that will run until 2029, with commercial production from the operation expected to end in early 2026.
It will come alongside already operational 55.4 MW diesel and wind hybrid facility that currently powers the Diavik in the cold climate of North Slave region of Canada.
Construction for the solar project is expected to begin soon with commercial operations due in H1/2024.
“Through its wind-diesel hybrid power facility, Diavik is already a leader in cold climate renewable technology and this important project reinforces our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint,” said Diavik Diamond Mine’s President and COO, Angela Bigg.
To meet its net zero target across all operations by 2050, Rio Tinto is adding renewables to its other locations, including in Australia where it plans to develop around 6 GW of wind and solar capacity for its local operations (see Rio Tinto’s $7.5 Billion Decarbonization Plans).


So I’ve spent the last couple of days trying to “tune” the car with its new EDIS system. I have twin Strom’s. Couple of odd things…
Using a Colortune I get blue across all cylinders but I can’t seem to change that color no matter how much I adjust the jets??
The engine starts and runs ok but has a constant minor “shake” and now and then a pop from the exhaust, a misfire
I’ve carefully adjusted the floats to 11mm per the guide in the kit.
I started with the jets 3 full turns down form the bridge, per J Curto’s advice.
Tried different plugs
I now wondering if I have a bad set of coils, so, anyone in the US know where a replacement set can be obtained?
Any other suggestions on the aforementioned problem?


From Monday 30 January 2017, Citylink 1 and W4 will be replaced by two new bus services.
A new, more direct Centrelink Park and Ride service (operated by Nottingham Community Transport on behalf of Nottingham City Council) will run between the Queen’s Drive Park & Ride Ecohub, Meadows Way and the Railway Station to the City Centre, terminating in Victoria Bus Station. This new service will no longer serve Fletcher Gate and the Lace Market but will instead access and depart the city to the west of the City Centre via Maid Marian Way. This service will be operated with 13 new ultra-modern low emission electric buses and current city centre Centrelink bus stops will continue to be served following these changes
A new Nottingham City Transport Navy Line 49 will run between Boots Factory, Thane Road, Electric Avenue, Queen’s Drive, NG2 Business Park, the Railway Station and the City Centre. In the City Centre, buses will terminate with other Navy Line buses in the Old Market Square on Beastmarket Hill. Buses will also stop on Maid Marian Way and at Broadmarsh. (Existing stops on Fletcher Gate, George Street, Elite and Mount Street will no longer be served.)Navy Line 49 will run with double deck buses up to every 15 minutes during the Monday to Friday daytime (06:00 – 18:30) and will continue to have early morning and evening journeys to cater for shift patterns along the route, especially at Boots Factory. On Saturdays and Bank Holiday Mondays, there will be five journeys in each direction which will run at similar times to the current W4. For Experian and Electric Avenue, Nottingham City Transport will run more of their Navy 48 buses along the 48A route to provide up to 10 buses per hour to the Railway Station and the City Centre.
From Monday 30 January 2017, the Citylink 2 will be renamed the Ecolink and also be operated by electric buses. The route will change slightly. When returning to the City Centre it will turn left at Pennyfoot Street on to Bellargate.
