Christopher Goodwin, PhD, is a respected archaeologist who oversees cultural heritage site surveys spanning the country. His work, and that of his colleagues at the firm of his name, help preserve important sites and enable a diversity of infrastructure projects to go forward by avoiding, minimizing or mitigating effects to heritage resources. One key focus of Dr. R. Christopher Goodwin and his team is on safety, with the firm achieving consistent “A” safety ratings from a number of major energy companies.
A vital part of this involves hazards surveys undertaken before construction has commenced. As they undertake surveys of construction corridors searching for archaeological sites and remains, such as projectile points and pottery, crew members also undertake hazards and job safety observations analyses.
These efforts are designed to ensure the safety not only of the archaeological crew, but also of environmental surveyors and construction personnel who may be working in the area in the future. Input into geographic information systems, potential hazards are delineated and presented to clients alongside cultural research.
An example of this was a situation involving a Southwest pipeline project, where a crew working at intervals of 15 meters encountered five rattlesnakes migrating to winter dens. Information collected such as season, landform, direction of travel and time of day, helped inform future workers of likely risks in the area, and helped to keep them safe.

With offices in Louisiana, Maryland, Kansas, New Mexico and Connecticut, R. Christopher Goodwin, PhD, is a respected presence in the archaeology field. The company undertakes assignments for federally regulated projects with diverse compliance factors in play. The due diligence work of Dr. R. Christopher Goodwin involves surveys of historical and cultural sites that could potentially be impacted by proposed projects. These include cemeteries and Native American sites.
Dr. Goodwin’s firm helps clients obtain permits from agencies such as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and the Bureau of Land Management. As he describes it, his firm is often called in to look at projects where “a line on a map from point A to point B” has been drawn, without proper feasibility or due diligence planning.
His firm’s services are particularly in demand in tandem with the planning and construction of pipelines that often span hundreds of miles and diverse jurisdictions, with a variety of historic preservation considerations at play. Most pipelines are federally-regulated or permitted. But in a number of cases, even builders of non-regulated pipelines have called in R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc., to perform cultural resources surveys to avoid important American heritage sites and prevent delays during construction. That work, according to Dr. Goodwin, acts as an “insurance policy” against future issues and encumbrances.

Dr. R. Christopher Goodwin holds a PhD in archeology from Arizona State University. In 2016, consultants from Dr. R. Christopher Goodwin’s firm assisted the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in documenting historic cemeteries throughout Connecticut’s four coastal counties that were affected by Superstorm Sandy.
From small family plots to municipal burial grounds, Connecticut features thousands of cemeteries. Most do not possess the exceptional significance required to qualify for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Those that do qualify must contribute to larger historic districts, connect to early settlement patterns, represent the work of a master designer or landscape architect, or display significant works of art.
Carried out under SHPO’s Hurricane Sandy disaster relief program, the cemetery documentation project involved the creation of a Guide to Researching and Documenting Connecticut’s Historic Cemeteries. The guide contains an annotated bibliography that provides background information on the history of cemetery development, and that accounts for type, landscape elements, marker materials, and iconography trends. This work clarifies the criteria for eligibility in the National Register and provides information about evaluating cemeteries using National Register criteria, as well as on researching the various aspects of cemetery history including genealogy. Information collected also helps establish guidelines for conservation, preservation and maintenance of cemetery monuments and markers.
The Connecticut SHPO intends to release this work to the public in 2018.

Dr. R. Christopher Goodwin, holder of a PhD in archaeology, leads a preservation planning and archaeological and historical research firm that performs services nationwide. Although much of the work of R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates involves work performed directly for federal agencies, Dr. R. Christopher Goodwin also provides extensive planning and cultural resources permitting services for pipeline projects regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
Services for energy projects begins with due diligence studies for avoiding impacts to historic properties, and thus subsequent lawsuits and entanglements. Such projects must abide by strict laws like the National historic Preservation Act, and can encounter complications if the construction project effects protected lands like archaeological sites and cemeteries, or if may they may pose impacts to sites of importance to Native American tribes. Clients can receive assistance from the Goodwin team with route planning (routing studies) to circumvent these issues.
In addition, R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates provides detailed on-the-ground assessments of proposed pipeline routes to identify potential preservation issues. Early planning and identification of preservation issues make the work in these areas easier and minimize both costs and the chances of delay.

All fired up
New recruits inspired by firsthand experiences
OCALA - It took an extraordinary event to spark Mark Ledford's interest in fighting fires.
On Halloween night, 2001, firefighters raced to his family's three-bedroom brick home, which was engulfed in flames.
The fire was so hot, water in his fish tank came to a boil. But despite the heat, firefighters were able to save his fish. They also saved his Himalayan cat.
The firefighters' courage was inspiring, Ledford said, and he never forgot it. After years of running his own tow truck company, the 40-year-old sold his business and started training for a new career.
"I didn't want to drive tow trucks anymore," Ledford said.
Today, Ledford will be one of 17 Marion County firefighter recruits who will raise their right hands and take the oath to save lives and protect property. The recruits include 15 men and two women who ended their six-week orientation today at the Marion County Fire-Rescue.
"I think everyone is waiting for that alarm to sound," said Mark Kadlecek, 20, a new firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician. "We went through a lot of hard training for this."
The 17 were chosen out of about 35 applicants who have completed rigorous training and classes. Criteria for the job ranged from performing a certain number of situps, posting ladders against tall buildings in about 40 pounds of gear, chopping wood and locating a mannequin in a smoke-filled room.
The recruits range from all ages and walks of life, including 18-year-old Stephen Cabrera, who just graduated from high school in May. Cabrera, as well as Kadlecek have been "Explorers" - also known as junior firefighters - for years, during which they mostly rode along with fire crews. Cabrera took special classes and programs as a high school student that made him eligible to join the Marion County Fire-Rescue straight out of the 12th grade. Cabrera said he also has been inspired to fight fires after seeing firefighters put out of a fire in his home that was started by a Christmas tree in December 2001.
"It's just something I all ways felt I wanted to do," Cabrera said.
Cabrera, an EMT, is one of three new recruits who still needs more training before becoming a full-fledged firefighter.
The swearing-in ceremony will take place 3 p.m. today at the Marion County Board of County Commissioners' Auditorium at 601 S.E. 25th Ave.
The new recruits add to an increasing number of blood-related firefighters in the department. Tiffany Sanders, 20, said she first thought about becoming a firefighter after seeing her stepfather, Lt. Ernest Eubanks, as well as her grandfather- a Tampa firefighter - in uniform.
"I can remember trying on their uniforms as a little girl," Sanders said.
Others to be sworn in today are Brian Lewis, Christopher Chemerys, Stephanie Hensley, Jonathan Ingram, Vincent Supernor, Matthew Whitaker, Andrew Biros, Charles Balik, Bryan Dodd, Henry Herrera, Charles Messer, Derek Wagner and Mario DeAngelis.
Heather Danenhower, a spokeswoman for Marion County Fire-Rescue, said the hiring was part a 10-year staffing plan adopted in 2001 to accommodate explosive growth and equalize fire-rescue services countywide.
"We're one step closer to reaching those staffing goals," Danenhower said.
During today's ceremony, fire officials also are expected to promote nine employees, including Lt. Eubanks. Additionally, they will recognize Danenhower and others who have recently received specials awards or honors.

Keeper Matt Duke is delighted Hull have finally shrugged off their relegation hangover – and won away for the first time in 31 games.
Now they want to do it all over again with victory at Burnley tomorrow.
The Tigers’ travel sickness stretched back an incredible 18 months, since they snatched victory at Fulham in March 2009.
But goals from midfielders Robert Koren and Tom Cairney in the last eight minutes finally gave their long-suffering fans something to celebrate on their long trek home. No wonder the Norwich faithful could barely believe their eyes – the last time Hull won at Carrow Road was in 1970.
Hull hardly deserved the points, with the high-flying Canaries playing them off the park for long periods.
But the home side failed to find the net for the first time in 10 games this season and Hull took their chances.
Duke said: “Everybody was talking about this 18-month spell without a win away from home so it’s great to get it out of the way at last.
“We have been a bit hit and miss to say the least since being relegated but we are gradually starting to come together as a group.
“We have been worried about our defending because we have been leaking goals left, right and centre away from home.
“But we are starting to keep clean sheets now and a lot of that is down to our two new central defenders who have come in on loan, Anthony Gerrard from Cardiff and Daniel Ayala from Liverpool.
“They have really helped to shore up the defence.”
Duke, 33, who battled his way back from testicular cancer two years ago, added: “Coming down from the Premier League was a shock and there’s been a massive change around, with a lot of players going out and a lot of new ones coming in.
“Things have been difficult and it has taken people time to adjust. We are pointed in the right direction now.
“It’s a long journey home for our fans but they have been very loyal and it’s nice to be able to send them home with something to be happy about.
“But we can’t get too carried away because on Tuesday night we have got to go out against Burnley and do it all over again.”
Slovenia skipper Koren headed home left-back Andy Dawson’s deflected 82nd-minute drive to claim his second goal for the Tigers since being snapped up on a free from West Brom.
And Cairney, 19, sealed the win with a superb 20yard free-kick six minutes later.
Norwich central defender Leon Barnett, on loan from West Brom, said: “The majority of the players and most of the crowd will probably see that as daylight robbery. We were all happy with our performance and tactically we got it right.
“The only thing missing was the result.
“But we can’t afford to dwell on it.
“We have got a big home game against Leicester on Tuesday and we just have to concentrate on that.”

June is budget time. The New Hampshire budget is crafted every other year and the new budget will cover state fiscal years from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019. Governor Sununu submitted his budget to the Legislature at the end of February. The process is that the House of Representative has first crack at reviewing, revising, and submitting a House budget to the Senate. This year the House was not able to pass a budget and so the Governor’s budget went to the Senate. This is a very unusual situation and was commented on by House Speaker, Shawn Jasper (from a WMUR article dated 4/6/17 by John Destaso).
“Jasper minced no words in his opinion of the 32 members of his caucus who opposed the leadership in Thursday’s vote.”
“This is just a movement of people who, I think, are totally disconnected from their constituents and totally disconnected from the facts,” he said. “The only one consistent message when we talked to these 32 people was, ‘We didn’t want money going back to our cities and towns and school districts because we do not trust our local officials to make the right decisions with that money.’’’ (Note: the House budget included 50 million dollars to go back to towns and cities for the purpose of reducing property taxes.)
Budget discussions revolve around what money is available (revenue) and what money should be spent (expenditures). In a May 8 article, Legislator Mary Jane Wallner stated, “A two year state budget is more than a bunch of numbers. It is a strategic vision for key investments in our priorities. What problems the Legislature and Governor choose to address with these prioritized investments tells us a lot about what we value.”
The Senate Finance Committee has until May 25 to finish their work on the budget with a vote the next week by the full Senate. The amount of revenue has a higher prediction for the Senate version as additional revenue reports come in. The Senate is also predicting a 2% decrease in Medicaid caseload. This same decrease was predicted for the last budget and resulted in a nine-million dollar budget deficit. Latest news on May 24 says that the Senate Finance Committee wants to lower the Business Profits Tax and Business Enterprise Tax as well as greatly increasing allowable deductions for calculating those taxes. The opposing view is that lowering business taxes is not what is currently needed to increase economic growth; instead it is getting more dollars into the hands of consumers through property tax relief and a higher minimum wage. The Senate Finance Committee also voted to restore funding for 13 rape and domestic violence crisis centers operated by the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence.
Now is the time to let your Representatives and Senators know what you value. In the April Notes from Concord, we talked about legislation that lowered revenue or tried to move back funds that had previously been provided to cities and towns. Restoring funds to towns and cities has been a major priority of the New Hampshire Municipal Association as a central means of lowering property taxes. At the time the April article was written, most of the legislation had just gone through the Senate and those votes were provided. Here is what happened since then:
SB 2: lowering business taxes that in turn reduces revenue. The House Ways and Means Committee retained this bill and it has not gone to a full House vote.
SB 192: would have increased school building aid and was killed in the Senate.
SB193: school vouchers that would move funding for public schools to nonpublic schools. This bill was retained in the House Education Committee and has not gone to a full House vote.
HB 413: reimbursing towns and cities 15% of retirement costs for police, firefighters, and teachers. This bill is retained in the House Finance Committee and has not gone for a full House vote.
SB 242: allowing two casinos. This bill was voted Inexpedient to Legislate (ITL) in both the House Committee and the full House. The bill was then voted to be postponed indefinitely.
SB 244: Increase exemptions for the Interest and Dividends tax, resulting in decreased revenue. This bill has been laid on the table and is not likely to have action this year.
The May 19, 2017 Legislative Bulletin from the New Hampshire Municipal Association states, “Additional funding for municipalities continues to be discussed in separate, off-budget legislation, such as SB 38 relative to roads and bridge infrastructure monies, and SB 57 relative to state aid grants for water and wastewater projects…”. These funds are slated to come from the fiscal year 2017 surplus. Other recent votes includes:
SB3: this bill establishes stricter rules for same day registration and has been a very controversial piece of legislation. The House Election Committee voted Ought to Pass along party lines (11 to 9) and it will be heard by the full House on June 1. Voting in favor of the bill was Natalie Wells.
HB640: With bipartisan support, the Senate voted to decriminalize possession of marijuana in small amounts (3/4 of an ounce or less). The vote was 17 to 6 with Howard French and Dan Feltes in favor and Bob Giuda opposing. In the House, the vote was 318-36 with Natalie Wells in favor and Anne Copp not voting. Governor Sununu has indicated that he intends to sign the bill. New Hampshire is the only New England state that still gives jail sentences for possessing small amounts of Marijuana.
On May 9, in a bipartisan vote, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee voted to strengthen standards for evaluating ground water pollution in New Hampshire. The language of the legislation calls for the commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services to adopt a Maximum Contaminant Limit (MCL) for perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in public water systems. PFOS and PFOA are two of the most cited contaminants in a well.
During this last month of the Legislative Session you may want to keep up to date with daily emails on what the Legislature is doing. One nonpartisan site that collects information from many different sources is New Hampshire Journal. You can sign up by going to: eepurl.com/bPCSUL.

Why does your period stop when you lose weight?
Excessive or sudden weight loss can cause your periods to stop.
Severely restricting the amount of calories you eat stops the production of hormones needed for ovulation..
Which exercise is best during periods?
During lighter menstrual days, try moderate-intensity aerobic exercises like walking or light jogging. This type of physical activity can reduce bloating (extra water weight) and the pain of cramping. Aerobic exercise helps your blood circulation and the release of “feel-good hormones” called endorphins (en DORF ins).
Is it harder to exercise on your period?
These hormonal changes can “lead to fatigue, emotional swings, bloating, and increased muscle aches,” which “make recovery more difficult in addition to the lack of energy or motivation to exercise,” said Dr. DeLucia. And once you get your period, you’ll definitely feel these effects, with Dr.
Do you weigh more on your period?
It’s normal to gain about three to five pounds during your period. Generally, it will go away a few days after your period starts. Period-related weight gain is caused by hormonal fluctuations. It may be the result of water retention, overeating, sugar cravings, and skipping workouts due to cramps.
Why do I crave junk food before my period?
Blame it on the hormones. A 2016 study suggests that changes in levels of hormones estrogen and progesterone cause cravings for high-carb and sweet foods before your period. Your hormones may not be the only driving force behind your desire to eat all the goodies in your pantry before Flo comes to town, though.
Do you lose weight when you fart?
There’s one thing you can’t do by farting: lose weight. It’s not an activity that burns many calories. Farting is quite passive. If you’re looking to lose weight, stick to a healthy diet and regular exercise plan so you burn more calories than you eat.
Why do I poop so much on my period?
“But these prostaglandins also increase contractions of the uterine muscles and the bowels.” So in much the same way that prostaglandins contract your uterus, they also contract your bowels. And the more your bowels contract, the more frequently waste will be pressed out.
Why do I feel skinnier on my period?
Your weight is just fluctuating a few days before your period thanks to the spike in hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Some water retention is happening because of these hormonal fluctuations. What’s also making your body retain water are the sugar, caffeine and salt that you’re soothing yourself with.
Should I weigh myself on my period?
Avoid Weighing Yourself a Week Before or During Your Period They usually regulate fluids, which tend to cause water retention and sugar cravings. … Doctors say you can gain up to 3-5 pounds when you are on your period.
Do you gain weight during puberty?
You’ll probably gain weight in puberty — most girls do. You may notice more body fat along the upper arms, thighs, and upper back. Your hips will grow rounder and wider; your waist will become narrower. Your doctor will check your height and weight each year to make sure you are growing properly.
Why do you eat more on your period?
The study showed that high progesterone levels during the premenstrual phase may lead to compulsive eating and body dissatisfaction. Estrogen, on the other hand, appears to be associated with a decrease in appetite. Estrogen is at its highest levels during ovulation.
Can I eat more calories on my period?
You may have a slightly higher RMR during the luteal phase before your period. Usually, the changes in metabolic rate aren’t enough to increase calorie burn or require more calorie intake. Plus, some people have cravings or more hunger at this time, which may offset any slight increase.
Can you still lose weight while on your period?
While the menstrual cycle does make fat loss a bit harder for women, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible or that you can’t lose fat.
Should you exercise on your period?
There’s no scientific reason you should skip out on your workouts during your period. In fact, there’s evidence that exercise can be helpful during this time. The bottom line is this: Continue with exercise, but back off on the intensity, especially if you’re feeling fatigued.
What should we avoid eating during periods?
1. Salt. Consuming lots of salt leads to water retention, which can result in bloating. To reduce bloating, don’t add salt to your foods and avoid highly processed foods that contain a lot of sodium.
Do you gain weight from drinking water?
Drinking More Water is Linked to Reduced Calorie Intake and a Lower Risk of Weight Gain. Since water is naturally calorie-free, it is generally linked with reduced calorie intake. This is mainly because you then drink water instead of other beverages, which are often high in calories and sugar ( 13 , 14 , 15 ).
Do you burn calories when you cry?
Crying is thought to burn roughly the same amount of calories as laughing – 1.3 calories per minute, according to one study . That means that for every 20-minute sob session, you’re burning 26 more calories than you would have burned without the tears.
How many extra calories do you burn on your period?
Our menstrual cycles affect every area of our lives, including our metabolism. It turns out our bodies require 100 – 300 more calories during our luteal phase (the week before our period is due).
Do you lose weight when you sleep?
Every night you lose weight while you sleep. Everybody does. Sometimes two pounds.
Does your period stop when you don’t eat?
1. You’re not eating enough. According to Ballingall, eating patterns directly impact a woman’s cycle. “If you’re very underweight and have a low BMI, periods can stop.

For Immediate Release
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc. Discusses Business Outlook
Westchester, Ill. — Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc. (IAAI), a wholly owned subsidiary of KAR Auction Services, Inc. (the “Company”), today discussed that in the ordinary course of business, Allstate, one of its insurance customers, has chosen to transition the remainder of its business to a competitor who already has the substantial majority of its volume. It is IAAI’s understanding that the transition will be completed sometime later in 2010.
Commenting on the action, Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc.’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom O’Brien stated, “While we are disappointed with Allstate’s decision, we will work closely to assist them with the transition and we look forward to doing business with them again in the future.” O’Brien went on to state, “While it is not our policy to make announcements on individual customer wins or losses, we have had a number of significant customer wins that should offset the impact of Allstate’s decision. On balance, we do not anticipate this having a material impact on KAR’s financial performance.”

Salman Akram Raja, prominent legal expert and advocate Supreme Court of Pakistan, said that legal community has very high expectations from new Chief Justice, Asif Saeed Khosa – especially in the area of legal and judicial reforms.
These views were expressed by Salman Raja in Dr. Moeed Pirzada’s program, at GNN Television on Thursday (January 17, 2019). He said that personality of the Chief Justice matters a lot and Justice Khosa comes from a family of intellectuals with an original thought (fikar in Urdu) and his period as head of supreme court will thus be different. He was referring to Justice Khosa’s brothers in police and civil services (Tariq Khosa & Nasir Khosa) who distinguished themselves as men of learning in their respective fields.
Justice Khosa comes from a family of intellectuals with an original thought (fikar in Urdu) and his period as head of supreme court will thus be different.
The prominent lawyer thought that Justice Khosa has already demonstrated his difference when he talked of making dams against frivolous cases. While addressing full court reference, at the Supreme Court, in the morning of 18 Jan, new Chief Justice said that “I would also like to build dams, I will build dams against false and frivolous litigation, fake witnesses” In a way it was a polite rebuke of outgoing Chief Justice, Saqib Nisar. Nisar had taken a huge position on the issue of water shortages and dams, he even mentioned this as his achievement at the eve of “Full Court Reference”.
Read more: Who is Justice Asif Saeed Khoosa?
Nisar had also mentioned his desire to help retire the national debt. In what can be understood as another polite rebuke, Khosa added that he will like to retire debts, debts of pending court cases. He then added that almost 19 laccases are pending against all courts and this is beyond the capacity of a mere three thousand judges. From this comment, one can expect that Khosa will not only take steps to force courts to end pendency but he will also be expecting the Imran Khan government to create more positions for judges.
Salman Raja, had, however, his reservations on new Chief Justice’s comment that Suo motto notices will be taken sparingly and only when no other option existed to address a matter. While most across the country welcomed Justice Khosa’s comment, Raja had his concerns. Prominent legal expert argued that while all Supreme Court is empowered under Pakistani constitution to take notices under Articles 184(3), during Justice Nisar’s period at the helm only Chief Justice could determine if a notice could be taken. Such a practice could then be dependent upon Chief Justice’s personality. Will that changes now? Raja wondered.
The prominent lawyer thought that Justice Khosa has already demonstrated his difference when he talked of making dams against frivolous cases.
Under Chief Justice Saqib Nisar, Supreme Court had taken up an unprecedented number of cases under 184(3) and most legal experts were of the opinion that under Khosa this trend will go down drastically. Khosa, therefore, did not surprise anyone when he expressed his mind at the “Full Court Reference”. Salman Raja welcomed Justice Khosa’s comments, that “we will make civilian courts work as speedily as the military courts”.
Responding to Dr. Pirzada’s question that does that signal new Chief Justice’s disapproval of the extension in the term of military courts, he argued that military courts represent a black spot on our system. Anchor then asked him: what should be done administratively so that military courts are not needed any more after this last possible extension? Raja replied that “unfortunately nothing has been done so far”.
He argued that once military courts were instituted, we handed over all burden upon them and did not institute any reforms. But he was hopeful that Justice Khosa will institute the reforms at grassroots to strengthen the court system so that military courts are not needed in the future.

What happened to the financing? It was supposed to close at the minimum today. Did it fall through? Why no announcement?
When they say the financing is at a nickel, the lowest the TSX let's companies raise money at, do they mean a nickel before or after the ten for one roll back. If it is after, then the financing is at a half cent and people buying at a nickel now are being duped. When you think about it, it would be a long shot that it would be at a nickel and not a half cent.
The press release said the agreement with debenture holders would be up on SEDAR. I keep logging into SEDAR and it's not there. What gives?
Their last pump ran to nearly $.18 at $1.5 million shares of buying per day before they let it collapse to two and a half cents. This current pump can't even get through four cents. It's almost like those in the know are selling into every sucker bid. How come not one insider is buying? Why don't the people that made $1.5 million on the peak last May at $.18 buy some at four cents?
The reality is the year end results come out next week and they are going to be UUUUGLY.


Cities learning for fair, clean & democratic energy
When it comes to managing the energy transition the need for municipal level innovation has never been clearer. In recent years we have seen some successes, where innovative ideas have led to more equitable, just and democratic energy policies. However, the sharing of these ideas has been limited, and they have tended to remain local and specific. To achieve large scale, replicable success we need a coordinated and integrated approach for collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Enter: mPOWER
The mPOWER project and consortium are funded by the Horizon 2020 EU Research and Innovation programme and involves seven partner organizations. The project started in May 2018 and will last four years.

Julius Klinger (1876–1942) is one of my favorite poster artists ever!
This innovative Austrian illustrator, graphic designer, typographer
and teacher was also a pioneer in the fields of branding and advertising.
After studying at the Technologisches Gewerbemuseum in Wien,
Klinger found his first employent at Wiener Mode magazine.
There he met Koloman Moser, who encouraged him to move
to Munich where he found work as an illustrator for the satirical
Lustige Blätter, 1907
In 1897 he relocated to Berlin, where he worked extensively as a commercial artist
and contributed to humorous magazines such as Das kleine Witzblatt,
Lustige Blätter, Die Lustige Woche and Das Narrenschiff.
Hermanns and Froitzheim, 1910, thanks to Stefan Lukut
Zoologischer Garten, 1910
Hollerbaum und Schmidt, 1910
Together with the printing house Hollerbaum und Schmidt, he developed
a new functional style of poster that soon gained him international reputation.
Klinger's timeless designs display a very minimalist, modern and refined aesthetic
enriched by fantasy, a strong sense of humor and the love of animals.
Flugplatz Wanne Herten, 1912
Karikaturisten Ball, 1913
8 Kriegsanleihe (8th War Loan) propaganda poster, 1918
Palm Cigarren, 1918
Klinger promoted economy of design and a clear separation between poster art
and painting. After the end of WWI, he established a school for commercial art
in Vienna and devised some very large and comprehensive advertising campaigns
for companies such as Tabu cigarette paper and MEM toiletries and razor blades.
These are the strongest expressions of his graphic functionalism, which relied
on the company logo, simple geometric shapes and bold, flat colors
to achieve maximum impact and brand recognition.
Wipag Klinger, 1923
Sadly, this story has a tragic ending. Because of his Jewish descent,
Klinger fell victim to nazi persecution. In 1942 he was deported to Minsk,
where he was presumably killed during the same year. For some time
his name almost fell into oblivion, but he was recently rediscovered
by many who appreciate his stylized and ultra modern approach,
and his work has been featured in numerous design blogs

This build has been very difficult from the beginning due to incompatibility, RGB differences and thermals.
I had these goals in mind: 1. Minimizing cables 2. Simplicity 3. Themes and Continuity - White/black & staying within a one brand ecosystem.
These were my barriers to this build as I did not prefer to use an AIO at all - did not want to risk leakage, pump failure, and the additional cables that extrude from the pump block. See below.
- CPU height clearance for this case was only <155mm leaving me with only one air cooler that could prove adequate given the black/white themed build: Cryorig H7 Lumi. While the lumi would fit, I worried about thermals in a case designed for liquid cooling to begin with. The reason for not going with this was due to the GPU being mounted vertically and spewing hot air into the case. This is not ideal for this arrangement. I originally planned for the Noctua U12 with the chromax accessories to match the build. Why not the EVGA CLC 280 for continuity? Given this is an Asetek Gen5 pump and only is a maximum of 280mm at the time of writing this, it did not make much sense to choose this cooler. I went with the trusted h150i pro. Although, I do not like the Corsair logo to be centered in this build at all. sighs
- Vertical Mounting. This has shown to have some improvements mounting it in this fashion. I chose the Lian Li vertical mount because you can slot the graphics card further away from the side glass panel, this helping with thermals while also showing off the card.
- Motherboard. Difficult decision here as to chose one over the other in the z370 lineup. I went with the EVGA motherboard for continuity and simplicity of the board itself.
- Color. The EVGA 1080ti shroud and motherboard have a silver color. While I did not prefer this, I decided to use white plastidip to match the rest of the build. This does not void the warranty given you can remove the plastidip later, if needed.
Idea: I tried to fit fans on the bottom side of the case but the fan was too close to the floor to make it worthwhile. I only managed to fit one fan inside on the right to make it work. Oddly, you cannot have a bottom mounted air filter if you install fans there with the white rubber mounts. You could get by with small screws.


Jersey Number: 15
Hometown: Caracas, Venezuela
Former club: Virginia Tech
At just 20 years old, midfielder Danny Pereira made headlines nationwide when he was chosen as Austin FC's No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 MLS SuperDraft. Now, he's continuing to attract the press as he appears to hold the starting right midfield position with the MLS's newest club.
But before he graced national news, Pereira was flying a bit more under the radar. Pereira made All-ACC Freshman honors in his first season with Virginia Tech and managed a goal and an assist as he started in all seven games of the Hokies' COVID marred 2020 season, but he still wasn't expected as the SuperDraft's No. 1 pick.
With Virginia Tech, Pereira started in all 26 appearances with the team, landing five goals and five assists to start his college career. After a slow start, Pereira suddenly rose to be one of the team's top playmakers, Hokies Head Coach Mike Brizendine said.
"At the end of the year, he was running the team in his play …he was calling the shots," Brizendine told Sports Illustrated. "In all my years of coaching here at Tech, almost 20 years, I've never seen a young man as quick as him. His first three steps are electric."
His college success translated into the professional realm. As a sophomore, Pereira decided to forgo his last two years of eligibility and signed with generation Adidas, which gives young players the opportunity to sign professionally in the SuperDraft. Although he was projected as a top-five contender, it still came as a surprise for many, including Pereira himself, to see his name flash Verde as the No. 1 overall pick. Pereira was the first Venezuelan player in history to make the No. 1 SuperDraft pick.
"My whole life, I was always the star," Pereira said. "But coming here I'm surrounded by stars. So it's just a great feeling. I like that competitiveness that we have in practices and in games."
With Austin FC

Pereira was the youngest player on both sides of the pitch for his MLS debut against LAFC. With the combined pressure of the club's inaugural match and his first professional appearance, Pereira said he had to shake off some nerves as the game began.
"It was a lot of emotions going on," Pereira said. "I had a bunch of people back home that were watching me so I was nervous. I'm not gonna lie... I was nervous the beginning, but as soon as I started playing, I forgot about everything."
Pereira held his own in his first pro match, helping hold a solid midfield line alongside Ring and Pochettino. Josh Wolff said he was impressed with Pereira's adjustment in his first pro match.
"For Pereira, I think it was a solid day for a young kid coming in his first MLS game against that opponent," Wolff said.
Pereira was picked more for depth than for an immediate starting spot, so it meant even more when he scored in Austin FC's first-ever preseason match against OKC Energy. To close out the preseason, Pereira landed a final goal off penalty kicks in the La Copita match against FC Dallas before setting his sights for the club's first season opener.
Despite edging out the competition for the LAFC match, teammate Diego Fagundez is still a contender for Pereira's starting spot. Pereira said he recognizes the pressure's on as they compete for the starting spot.
"It's a fight," Pereira said. He's a veteran... I'm the young kid. But at the end of the day, it's just soccer... No matter who starts, we're all in this together."
Off the pitch

Pereira moved to Virginia from Caracas, Venezuela when he was 15. Before he made it to the States, he was doing well on Venezuela's U-14 and later U-17 national teams, but political and economic strife in the country prompted the family to leave Pereira's first home.
When he arrived, Pereira didn't speak English. He missed his home and didn't know what it meant when he made the varsity team as a freshman at his high school.
Now, he's one of the team's few bilingual players. He helps to bridge the gap between Spanish-speaking and English-speaking players, and at 20, he also joked that he is often the team's "Uber driver."
"It's awesome being bilingual," Pereira said. "It gives you opportunities in every single area... it obviously brings me closer to the Spanish guys... Sometimes at practice, when we're doing drills, I'll translate for them."
Pereira got his start playing soccer at five years old, according to Sports Illustrated. He played alongside his half-brother Alexei. Even though his brother was seven years older, Pereira kicked the ball around with Alexei and his older friends. Now, he's doing much of the same on the Austin FC pitch.

The Planning Commission was split Tuesday on whether to help save an eclectic lakefront estate from demolition by zoning it historic amid concerns over tax breaks and the likelihood that a previous owner participated in segregation as a business owner.
The property in question, known as the Delisle House, is located at 2002 Scenic Drive in Tarrytown. The main house, with Spanish and Modern influences, was built in 1923 by Raymond Delisle, an optician. A Gothic Revival accessory apartment was built in 1946. The current owner applied to demolish the structures in order to build a new home.'
Historic preservationists, for their part, overwhelmingly support historic zoning, which would preserve the buildings in perpetuity. The Historic Landmark Commission unanimously voted to initiate historic zoning in July, citing architectural significance, landscape features and association to historic figures. City staffers recommend historic zoning, calling both structures one-of-a-kind examples of vernacular architecture.
Tarrytown neighbors have also banded together to stop the demolition. Many have written letters, and a few spoke at the meeting. “How could anyone buy this property with the intent of destroying it?” Ila Falvey said. “I think it’s an architectural treasure.”
Michael Whellan, an attorney representing the property owner, said that the claims made by preservationists are shaky. The buildings are run down, he said, and have had substantial renovations. A structural engineer hired by the owner said any attempt at preservation would involve tearing down and rebuilding – an undertaking Whellan said would likely cost millions.
Whellan also argued that any historical significance derived from the property’s association with Delisle and longtime owner C.H. Slator is dubious. “These men are not noted for any civic, philanthropic or historic impact,” he said.
What’s more, according to Whellan, Slator likely participated in segregation as the owner of the Tavern on North Lamar Boulevard between 1953 and 1960.
A city staffer, however, said she found no evidence to support the claim. “We would never landmark a property where a segregationist lived, or there was a racist person,” Kimberly Collins with the Historic Preservation Office said.
Commissioner Awais Azhar couldn’t support historic zoning in part due to lingering uncertainty about Slator. “Focusing on that factor is not here to disparage an individual or family. It is not about playing the race card. This is an important assertion for us to consider as Planning commissioners,” Azhar said.
Commissioner Carmen Llanes Pulido said that allegations of racism should come as no surprise. “We’re talking about white male property owners in the 1950s, in Austin, on the west side – and of course they were racist,” she said. But she argued that allowing the house to be demolished based on these grounds does nothing to help people of color who have been harmed by racism and segregation.
The question of tax breaks was also controversial. Michael Gaudini, representing the property owner, said that the tax breaks associated with historic zoning would exacerbate inequality by shifting property tax burdens to less affluent communities. City staffers estimate that the property, appraised at $3.5 million, would get either a $8,500 or $16,107 property tax break annually, depending on whether a homestead exemption is applied.
Commissioner Grayson Cox preferred the commission focus not on tax breaks but on whether the structures merit preservation. “To me, nothing in the historic preservation criteria lists, is this person deserving of a tax break or not?”
Azhar, on the other hand, said he plans to propose a code amendment getting rid of city property tax breaks for historic properties.
The commission fell one vote short of recommending historic zoning, with six commissioners in support and three opposed. Azhar and commissioners Claire Hempel and Greg Anderson voted against.
The odds of City Council zoning over an owner’s wishes are slim. Nine out of 11 members must vote in favor, and there have only been a handful of such cases over the past several decades.
What's new in Austin food & drink this week:

this 90 % animation movie on the dark side of life is well put together and can get a person thinking about how things are in other areas of life. i enjoyed this movie and felt the same rages of the characters as well. its not for children at all so keep the little ones away. this movie is subtitled as well.
Interesting way this movie was filmed. It was mostly a cartoon, but not for children, and told the story of a man who takes possession of his niece after his sister is killed. The sister was in porn and a prostitute, and he seeks revenge for her.

The Nontoxic Solution
The Monika A. and Charles A. Heimbold, Jr. Visual Arts Center will be an environmentally sensitive building, and Kristine Philipps, chair of the visual arts program, is doing her part to ensure that the activities within will be “green” as well.
Philipps, who has taught at Sarah Lawrence since 1983, has taken release time during the spring 2004 semester to continue studying the use of water-based materials in printmaking—part of a slow revolution in a time-honored art form that is overturning techniques used since the 15th century. Her work is funded by a “Bogert Grant,” made by from the College’s President’s New Venture Fund, which was established in 1997 by Chairman of the Board of Trustees Margot C. Bogert ’75.
“I feel it’s my responsibility to do this, because it’s the way the world is going to be,” Philipps says. “It’s important for our health and for the environment.”
“It’s a trend in the entire art world to move from toxic to non-toxic materials, no matter what medium.”
Oil-based inks, acids, thinners and other materials used in printmaking have, over the course of long-term exposure (although far longer than one would experience in a college career), been known to contribute to lung and nervous system ailments, even cancer. In some cases artists use the same materials scientists do, without the same level of protection. “We didn’t know they were bad for us,” Philipps says.
B ut notions of safety and simplicity are sweeping through printmaking. Now vegetable oil is replacing turpentine to clean metal plates used for intaglio (a.k.a. etching), and printmaking (which at SLC includes intaglio, lithography and woodcuts) is turning to water-based inks. But Philipps says that going non-toxic is more than a matter of switching materials. The new substances feel different, and since part of printmaking is finesse, her research includes experimentation with such seemingly simple steps as how thickly to apply water-based materials, the angle to hold the plates and the dilution of water. Integrity is at stake: One of the challenges of water-based materials is to produce a print that looks like a print and not a watercolor painting or, because photography is increasingly important in printmaking, like a photograph. “I’m basically teaching myself everything all over again,” Philipps says. “The new technology has opened up new ways to make images, and the images are different.”
Philipps also helped design the layout of printmaking studios in the Heimbold Center. She got the dimensions of printmaking spaces, then made cutouts of presses, tables and sinks and moved them around to see which arrangement best facilitated efficiency, safety and ease of movement. — J.B.
An Environmental Center, too
According to the Federated Conservationists of Westchester County (FCWC), the state of New York— population 19 million—produces 34 times more carbon dioxide than 97 Third World nations with a combined population of 640 million. Armed with concerns like these, FCWC invited Sarah Lawrence College to present an overview of the Heimbold Visual Arts Center’s environmentally sensitive design at FCWC’s May 3 conference, “Energy Independence: Real-World Solutions for Homes and Businesses.” Director of Operations and Facilities Micheal Rengers ’78, who has been closely involved with the visual arts center’s planning, and Susan Rodriguez, partner at Polshek Partnership Architects, the building’s designer, talked about the elements that will qualify it as a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified Green Building, including use of on-site stone for building, skylighting, and year-round geothermal heating and cooling thanks to 1,500-foot wells. The greening of the Heimbold building was made possible through the vision and generosity of Josephine Merck ’69, and the support of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward ’90 (through Newman’s Own), Edith Cowles Poor ’43, Barbara B. Cohn MA ’70, Strachan Donnelley and the Marilyn Simpson Trust.

From Our Research Team:
Lasts 3 to 4 Times Longer!Behind every set of D'Addario strings are over three centuries of fine craftsmanship. The D'Addario family tradition began in the tiny town of Salle, Italy in 1680 where they made assorted instrument strings for over two hundred years before relocating to New York in 1905. As the modern string making industry began to develop, the D'Addario family emerged as innovators by designing the winding machine most string makers still use today. And while their techniques have modernized, the pride that goes into each set of strings dates back to the D'Addario family's earliest roots.
These EXP strings feature a built-in barrier against the corrosion and wear that can quickly sap the life out of your strings and your sound. EXP coated nickel-plated steel strings have a natural round wound feel and sound fresh with a "new string tone" that lasts three to four times longer than traditional guitar strings.

The European Union was in big trouble long before Britain voted to leave in 2016 (and finally left in 2021), the financial strain of a basketload of economic basket case nations relying on Germany's industrial powerhouse economy to support them was starting to fray the threads of unity that held the then 28 member - state together which the loonytoons green energy poicies and politically correct approach to immigration and other social issues imposed by the technocrats in Brussels were dividing nations internally as well as against each other. But somehow the Brussels elite and their loyal supporters in member state governments managed by a mixture of bullying and manipulation to hold thins together.
But they cannot continue business as usual for much longer it seems. The Russia -Ukraine conflict is taking a toll on the Euro-zone and it could result in finally pushing the Union into the abyss. Every problem emanating from Russia's invasion of Ukraine is amplified for the region which was already struggling economically and politically. Soaring energy prices and out-of-control cost of living increases combined with stagnate growth and a growing trade imbalance with China and India you have the recipe for disaster. And then there is the inevitable runaway inflation that is the inevitable result of the insane money - printing exercise formally known as the COVID pandemic response.
A report publishd by Reuters this month shows the Euro-zone year - on - year inflation rate surged to yet another record high in May to to 8.1% in May from 7.4% in April. Energy costs due to the sanctions imposed on Russia in retaliation for the incursion into Ukraine are no longer the only factor pushing up the figure. Excluding food and energy prices, inflation rose to 4.4% year-on-year from 3.9%. This pressures the European Central Bank to bump up interest rates further. Unfortunately with Germany and several other EU nations being forced to ration domestic fuel, while transport costs have led to problems with food distribution and empty shop shelves, such a move ought to be unthinkable. Europe's economic war with Russia has highlighted just how weak Europe is.
Should Ukraine conflict drag on, as it may with EU and NATO member states supplying the suicidal nutcases in Kiev with high tech military hardware thus enabling them to prolong the war, Russia could completely cut off gas to Europe. Currently it appears Russia intends to keep Europe from restocking its storage facilities, which will cause widespread hardship substantially increase Russia’s leverage in the winter months. In the past three months Russia has cut off gas supply to several European countries that refused to pay for gas in rubles and has also substantially reduced the flow through the Nord Stream. This has cut off supplies to France and reduced flows to Germany by some 60 percent.
With inflation at 4 times the ECB's 2% target, policymakers face the toxic mix of raising rates and a shrinking economy. Trapped between galloping inflation, and political instability due to economic chaos and hoping to tame inflation, ECB President Christine Lagarde is moving to raise rates. Some policymakers and economists doubt small moves will be enough, especially since underlying inflation is showing no signs of abating.
Due to supply chain problems in the wake of the pandemic, then as a result of Russia's war in Ukraine, prices have been soaring across Europe. This suggests the years of of ultra-low inflation are at an end. What many economists tried to blow off as a transitory blip prices has now become embedded in the economy. The fear is that once high energy prices filter through into the general economy, inflation will get entrenched and eventually perpetuate a price-wage spiral.
Data from the European Union's statistics agency, Eurostat shows the euro zone's trading account swung to a record deficit in January from a surplus a year earlier as the cost of imported energy increased. The euro-zone's trade deficit in goods, the difference between exports and imports, was 27.2 billion euros ($30.17 billion) in January, compared with a EUR10.7 billion surplus the same month a year earlier.
Euro-zone governments are already facing all these problems, the last thing they need is another refugee crisis on a par with the influx of illegal migrants in 2015. This time the invasion is caused by food insecurity across Africa the Middle East and South East Asia and the threat of an energy-scarce winter as 2022 comes to a close. The EU abandoned all structural reforms in 2014 when the ECB started its quantitative easing program (QE) and expanded the balance sheet to record levels. Considering the above, it is difficult to remain optimistic that The European Union is on the right track. Member nations are aware of this and are becoming more inclined to ignore Brussels imposed policies and go their own way.RELATED:

Post date: January 31, 2001
Michael Levine, adjunct professor of law at Harvard Law School, will testify as an expert witness on airline mergers before a hearing of the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee tomorrow morning. The hearing chaired by Arizona Sen. John McCain will examine the proposed acquisition of Trans World Airlines (TWA) by American Airlines.
“I look forward to testifying before the Commerce Committee,” said Levine. “I strongly oppose these mergers because they will be used to create a ‘Big Two’ industry structure. United and American will become duopolists insulated from full network competition by control of scarce infrastructure and use rights in the Northeast, which will give them system scope that can’t be matched by competitors.”
Levine is a former airline executive and a well-known airline industry expert. He currently teaches courses at the Law School titled, “International Joint Ventures” and “Regulation, Deregulation and Reregulation.”
“Michael Levine is a great example of a faculty member who provides our students with the kind of Œreal world¹ experience they can only get from someone with his professional background,” said Todd Rakoff, dean of Law School¹s the J.D. Program. “The U.S. Congress would have a difficult time finding a more informed expert in the area of airline mergers and acquisitions.”
In addition to his testimony tomorrow before the Commerce Committee, Levine is scheduled to testify next week before the Senate¹s Antitrust Subcommittee, a key panel of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Mixed in among his 10 predications for the Cubs year ahead, Sahadev Sharma dropped in one exceedingly specific, exceedingly out-of-nowhere name that the Cubs are pursuing, so you can safely presume that this is a guy the Cubs are very likely to be signing: Carlos Asuaje.
Odds are good that the name either looks entirely unfamiliar to you, or just barely tugs at your memory bank (as it did for me) when first reading it. I was like, I think maybe he was a Padres prospect at some point or something?
Indeed he was – in fact, Asuaje was a part of the trade that sent Craig Kimbrel to Boston from San Diego before the 2016 season, together with Manny Margot, Logan Allen, and Javier Guerra. Margot and Guerra were the headliners at the time, but Asuaje was not considered a throw-in at the time.
Since that trade, however, Asuaje just about always hit reasonably well at AAA, but couldn’t make the successful jump to the big leagues, hitting just .240/.312/.329 over 586 big league plate appearances from 2016-18. He spent 2019 partly in Korea, where he hit .252/.356/.368 (not horrible since they de-juiced their ball – league average was just .267/.337.385), walking more than he struck out, and he’s been raking this offseason in the Dominican Winter League.
At 28, Asuaje is unlikely to finally break through in the big leagues, but he can be an average defender in a variety of positions (primarily second base), doesn’t strike out, and actually hit near league average against righties even as he was overall struggling in the big leagues (.261/.334/.366, 91 wRC+).
To be sure, if signed at all, Asuaje would be on a minor league deal, competing for a bench job in Spring Training and otherwise serving as middle infield depth at AAA Iowa this year. It’s really unlikely to be a notable situation if they do or do not land him. But the fact that his is a name bandied about in a rumor about the Cubs “pursuing” a guy sure is striking. It’s like, Joe Panik has become a pipe dream or something?
That said, sure, I’d like the Cubs to take a shot on Asuaje on a minor league deal, because why not? If you’re not going to bring in a clear starter at second base, then why not at least get a guy whose skillset could theoretically complement the other guys at the position? Especially if it’s potentially going to be a season where you’re rolling the dice anyway? Sharma leaves you with the most hopeful line possible about the last year for Asuaje, “[O]bservers believe a mental reset has done him well.” OK. Sure. Why not.
