sequently that they are necessary to be
Sermon observed by us. Or,
II. 5. Promises of good things, either with relation to this life, or the other. Nowa Faith of the Promises is a Perswasion,or Confident expectation that they will be accomplish'd. And thus the Apostle describes the Faith of the Promises of another World, at the ist ver. of this Chapter, that it is the substance of things hoped for, un róscos, that is, a confident expectation that the Promises of the Gospel which are the matter of our hope, shall be accomplish'd; and the evidence of things not seen, a being convinced of the certainty and reality of future and invisible things. And thus likewise the Apostle explains to us the Faith of Abraham, in reference to the Promises of God to give him a fon, Rom. 4. 21. He was fully perswaded, that what God had promised he was able perform. Or,
6. Threatnings. Now a Faith of the Threatnings, is a Perswasion of the danger we incurr, if we neglect
our duty; that is, a Belief that God Volume justly may, and will (having confirXII.
med his threatnings with Oath, which is a sign of the immutable determination of the Divine Will) inflict those Punishments upon us, which he hath threatned, in case we disobey his laws. These fix heads do, I think, contain all, I am sure the most Principal matters of Divine Revelation; which I have the more carefully distinguish’d, because some of them are of a distinct and peculiar Consideration from the rest, as will afterwards appear.
Having thus, as plainly and briefly as I could, opened to you, what I mean by this second sort of Divine Faith, which is a Perswasion of things Supernaturally revealed, I now come to latiffie fuch enquiries about this, as may
be molt material. And here I shall
those heads of enquiry which I handled when I spake of the first soit of Divine Faith.
1. Whether this may truly and properly be calld Faith?
II. What is the Argument where Sermon by this Faith is wrought?
II. III. Whether it admit of Degrees, and what are the Differences of them?
IV. What are the proper and
genuin Effects of this Faith?
V. In what Respects it may be said to be Divine ?
1. Whether this may truly and properly be call?d Faith? And that it may, is evident, because the general definition of Faith agrees to it: for a Man may be perswaded in his mind concerning things supernaturally revealed; and the Scripture every where calls a perswasion of these matters, by the name of Faith. But besides this, it seems this is the adequate and only Notion of Faith, as it hath been fixt by the Schools, and is become a Term of Art. For the definition that the Schools give of Faith is this; that it is an afsent to a thing credible, as credible. Now, say they, that is Credible which
relies upon the Testimony of a credible
human Testimony; and a Divine Faith, that which relies upon the Testimony or Authority of God: which Definition, tho' it bé short and imperfect, (being indeed not a Definition of Faith in general, but of a particular kind of Faith, viz. that which is wrought by the Argument which we call Testimony or Authority, and consequently excludes a belief of the Principles of natural Religion, and a belief that the Scriptures are the word of God, from being Faith:) yet this shews thus much, that all agree in this, that a Perswasion of things supernaturally revealed, is truly and properly Faith.
II. What is the Argument whereby this Faith, or Perswasion of things Supernaturally revealed is wrought in us? And this, by the general consent of all, is the 'Testimony or Authority of God, fome way or other revealing these things to us; whose infallible and unerring Knowledge, together with his Goodness and Authority, gives us the highest assurance, that he neither
can be deceived himself, nor will dem ceive us in any thing that he reveals Sermon to us. I say the Testimony or Au
II. thority of God fome way or other sevealing things to us, is the Argument whereby a Faithi of any supernatural Revelation is wrought in us: but if we restrain all supernatural Revelations to the Bible, as I told you we know of no other, then the
particular kind of Testimony where& by this Faith is wrought in us, is the
written Word of God.
III. As to the degrees of this Faith. Supposing men sufficiently satisfied that the Scriptures are the Word of God, that is, a Divine Revelation; then all those who are sufficiently satisfied of this, do equally believe the things contained in the Scriptures. For if men be once fully satisfied that God hath spoken any thing, I think no Man makes the least doubt but what God says is true.
Now there can be no Degrees of Faith, where there is no doubt of the contrary; all the Degrees that are in Faith, arising from a greater or less mixture of doubting. So that those who do not at all doubt


The crowd was small but concerns were clear among UNLV faculty and staff who met on Wednesday to discuss the search for a new UNLV president.
Those in attendance wanted to know whether a firm would be hired to conduct the search, whether open-meeting laws would deter bashful candidates and whether the pick for the next president had already been decided.
“Both (Board of Regents) Chairman (Kevin) Page and (President Search Committee) Chairman (Mark) Doubrava asked me to emphasize that there’s no fix,” UNLV Faculty Senate President Paul Werth said. “There’s no decision a priori or ahead of time on the selection of who the president will be. They emphasized that they would not waste their valuable time if they knew who they wanted already.”
Professor Vicki Rosser said she has heard the concern numerous times and wants to disavow the notion.
“I can’t tell you the emails I’ve heard from across campus already that people have said, ‘Oh, it’s a done deal. Why do we care?’”
The Board of Regents may name a permanent replacement for former President Neal Smatresk, who now leads the University of North Texas near Dallas, by September.
The presidential search committee includes six regents and will make a recommendation to the full Board of Regents.
Thirty non-voting “institutional advisory” members will also give input, including 13 faculty members, staff members, administrators, students and alumni from UNLV and 17 community representatives from gaming, utilities, banks and chambers of commerce, among others.
Nevada System of Higher Education code requires faculty and staff to be included and allows the Board of Regents chairman to appoint others as deemed necessary.
On the subject of hiring a search firm, all five advisory members present favored it.
“Having been on a search committee of this magnitude, a search firm is immensely helpful,” said Connie Mobley, associate dean of UNLV’s School of Dentistry. “They can reach out far beyond the borders that we can reach out, just within the state.”
Rosser said the firm would bring in more candidates, and an audience member said it would give her more faith that the process was fair.
Advisory member Michael Wilde and others wondered if open meeting laws would prevent people from applying. Open meeting laws apply to Nevada System of Higher Education meetings and candidates’ names could become public before they become finalists.
“One concern I have is open meeting laws because that may, in some ways, deter some very good candidates from throwing their hat in the ring,” said Wilde, assistant director of finance and the Center for Academic Enrichment and Outreach. “If they’re not successful then maybe their appointment body where they’re currently working may be less inclined to offer them further, future career opportunities.”
The search committee and community advisers will meet on March 28.

A forklift truck, a lift truck, a High/Low or a forklift and sideloader is a powered industrial truck used to lift and transport materials, normally by means of steel forks inserted under the load. Forklifts are most commonly used to move loads stored on pallets. The forklift was developed in the 1920s by various companies including the transmission manufacturing company Clark (today known as Clark Material Handling Company) and the hoist company Yale & Towne Manufacturing (today known as Yale Materials Handling Corporation). It has since become an indispensable piece of equipment in manufacturing and warehousing operations.

Not convenient -- poor organization
on December 17, 2006
As an English Lit. major in college a MLA Handbook is indispensible, but I was disappointed with this one. I found it difficult to locate the information I needed, often having to comb several pages to find what I was looking for. It is just not convenient to use. I much prefer Diana Hacker's "A Writer's Reference." The layout of her book is much simpler to navigate, and the spiral binding is always a plus, because it lays open on your desk nicely.

BostonHerald.com - Local & Regional: Tenants gripe 'Trashford' not fit digs
“It’s not Ashford, it’s Trashford,” said Thomas Demmel, 21, a foreign student from Germany who has lived in an Ashford Street apartment for the past year. Demmel, a junior at Boston University, will now be shacking up in a swankier North End apartment, despite its distance from campus.
Rats! City is a ‘pigsty’ Hub gets pre-school scrubbing
The Dumpster behind 15A Linden St. was overflowing with trash, so much that Mayor Thomas M. Menino and the inspectors had to walk gingerly through the back lot, where two refrigerators and a mattress were dumped.
And then they saw the rat - first one, and then another, both dead.
Yesterday, the mayor kicked off his annual Student Turnover Campaign, leading a small army of city workers as they fanned out across Allston and Brighton.
In addition to keeping buildings clean and sanitary, landlords must keep front doors locked and install carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in every unit and hallway, Timberlake said.
Tenants whose buildings don’t meet those standards should request an inspection by calling (617) 635-4500.
Landlords Who Take Advantage Of Students Targeted
As thousands of college students descend on Boston, Mayor Thomas Menino promised to crack down on landlords who take advantage of students.
On Thursday, Menino joined an army of inspectors checking out apartments. They didn't have to look hard for violations.
"We're concerned about the understructure of the porch. It is buckling on the second floor," Menino said of one Allston apartment.
At one Allston apartment rented by five students for $2,800 a month, violations were being corrected before the city enforcers showed up. But two blocks away, violations, like the trash, were overflowing. Dead rats were also found at the apartment.
"It's one of the worst (apartments) I've seen, especially for a neighborhood," said Edward Kennedy, of Boston Inspectional Services. "There is definitely a rat infestation here as well."

Today, the Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) 2019 to 2024 Implementation Plan was delivered to City Council.
It identifies projects and programs which, combined with existing facilities, will deliver a robust connected citywide bike network. Using a combination of protected bike lanes, trails, neighborhood greenways, and funding for bike parking, encouragement programs, and safety education, biking will be a healthy, affordable travel option for people of all ages and abilities.
“The number of people biking across Seattle is growing. That’s because the city continues to invest to connect Seattle by bike. This plan has a laser-sharp focus on fixing gaps that have long hampered the bike network – like closing the Burke Gilman Missing Link and completing much of the downtown Basic Bike Network,” said Vicky Clarke, Cascade Bicycle Club’s Policy Director.
“Building from the Levy Reset we appreciate the administration’s assurance to the community that the projects contained in this plan will advance. We’re glad to see the city has responded to community feedback to add bike connections to, and within, South East Seattle. Now we must act with urgency to find the funding for those overdue connections so that these neighborhoods can finally have equitable access to safe and affordable transportation options. We look forward to working together to do just that.”
Over the last 18 months, we’ve invested over $21M in bike infrastructure, including planning, design, & construction & installed 13 miles of new facilities & over 800 new bike parking spaces.
We took a major step last year to create the nation’s largest permanent free-floating bike share program, which supported two million rides in 2018. In the last year, we saw bike ridership increase by 12 percent over 2017, and we were named the “Best Bike City” by Bicycling magazine. This year, we’ll deliver an additional 11 miles of bike safety projects.
Building on this effort, Mayor Jenny Durkan’s 2019 to 2024 Implementation Plan invests $76 million over six years making significant progress toward connecting our bike network, including 50 miles of new bike facilities and 29 miles and planning. The plan will transform how people move around Seattle, by completing the Center City Bike Network, delivering protected bike lanes with RapidRide H (Delridge) and RapidRide Roosevelt/Eastlake, increasing connections to future light rail stations, and completing the Missing Link of the Burke Gilman Trail.
“We are thrilled that this plan includes critical routes like Eastlake Ave, Martin Luther King Jr Way S, Beacon Ave S, the Georgetown to South Park Trail, Thomas St, and the downtown Basic Bike Network. We look forward to working with the mayor and city council to secure any additional funding that is needed to build these and other critical trails, neighborhood greenways, and protected bike lanes” said Gordon Padelford, Executive Director of Seattle Neighborhood Greenways.
“We can, and must, be a city where people, of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds have the choice get to where they need to go by bike.”
In April, we presented a draft Implementation Plan to City Council.
While the plan’s budget hadn’t changed, the plan was developed in line with the comprehensive reassessment of the Levy to Move Seattle SDOT completed under the leadership of Mayor Durkan based on more realistic assumptions than we used in 2015. The Implementation Plan is intended to provide accountability for our continued investment in bicycle infrastructure and programs within existing committed resources while also identifying additional projects to be developed to a “shovel-ready” state. The Bike Master Plan is funded in large part by the Levy so we also worked with the Seattle Bicycle Advisory Board and used the 2014 Bike Master Plan prioritization criteria, grant and partnership opportunities to reprioritize projects over the second half of the Levy.
New this year, we launched an online survey and hosted four café-style conversations in the north, central southeast, and southwest Seattle to gather input and confirm the plan meets people’s needs and values. We heard from over 350 people at our public meetings and through the survey and over 550 via emails. People shared the importance of safety, protecting the environment, and transparency in decision-making.
They’d like increased maintenance of facilities and increased wayfinding. They also highlighted expanding engagement to include the voices of all people impacted, communities of color, and people who might be new to biking. Now that the implementation plan is complete, we’ll incorporate these values and continue to engage community members in the planning, design, and construction of projects. We also worked to clean our protected bike lane network during Bike Everywhere Month in May.
This Implementation Plan reflects the communities desire and our commitment to fight climate change, support a multimodal transportation system that encourages the reduction of single occupancy vehicles, and supports Seattle’s Vision Zero commitment to eliminate fatal and serious traffic collisions by 2030.
This plan includes projects that build crucial connections & were identified by the community as priorities.
The plan also addresses geographic inequities and prioritizes connections that serve communities located in Southeast Seattle.
Prior to finalizing the Implementation Plan, hundreds of people provided input and called for a southeast Seattle connection to downtown. As a result, we are advancing to construction a project on Martin Luther King, Jr Way S from I-90 to at least Rainier Ave S and to advance planning for a route along Beacon Ave from the Jose Rizal Bridge to S 39th We’re also prioritizing planning efforts to consider a Georgetown to Downtown route and completing a connection along 12th Ave from King St to Yesler Way.
The plan now shows when projects connect to transit, schools, community centers, and urban villages occur, as well as to existing bike facilities, or those planned for construction by 2024. We also acknowledge when a project routes through portions of the city that score in the upper regions of quartile of Seattle’s Race and Social Equity Composite Index.
Expected costs and challenges such as agency coordination and parking impacts are listed, highlighting where additional effort may be required, or a project modified.
Seek new funding
While the plan builds out 50 miles of bicycle infrastructure over the next six years, additional projects are funded only into design or planning. We are recommitting to seeking additional revenue sources and grants to advance key connections to accelerate progress during the timeframe of the implementation plan.
Thank you! Join us for our presentation at City Council on June 18 at 2 PM or watch it online.
Keep a look out for our upcoming blog posts and as well as other communications to stay current with project updates. We truly appreciate your interest and participation in the 2019 – 2024 Implementation Plan.

Whether you are solo or looking for love, online dating can be a great way to meet www.email-brides.org people. Yet , you should know that there is some negatives to online dating services, such as gender gaps, socioeconomic position, and age group gaps.
Male or female gaps
Among Americans of a specific age, going out with websites would be the domain with the trendy youngins. The most recent study of the millennials discovered that nearly two thirds of the group are engaged in some form of online dating sites. The the desired info is a bit blended, but there may be little question that these sites are a boon to America’s youth. The best part is that the very best online dating sites have time. Some even present free alcoholic beverages. This is the precious metal standard designed for the gay community besides making for a more sexy night out inside the city. A few sketchy sites are much less than friendly, but the ones are the conditions. The incentives are of great benefit. Thankfully, the dating market isn’t when shady as its reputation suggests. A few intelligent dating sites have been created for a long time and have not gone the pattern of the dodo.
Numerous studies own found that younger cohorts are more likely to participate in online dating. This trend is very evident among young adults between your ages of 18 and 24.
Research workers have also assessed data about online personals ads as well as the number of users on these websites. These studies show that the most well-known age groups happen to be underrepresented on the internet dating world.
The most known effect is the fact individuals from this age group are more likely to be involved with online personal ads ads than their colleagues consist of age groups. This runs specifically true among males and females with bachelor’s degrees. However , the correlation among time put in browsing these kinds of ads and total time spent internet is less strong.

In February, BHP Billiton said in its results for the half year ended December 31, 2016, that its onshore US assets "are now free cash flow positive, reflecting continued improvements in both operating and capital efficiency".
BHP Billiton came under fresh pressure to restructure on Monday as activist hedge fund Elliott Advisors urged the miner to scrap its dual-corporate system, split off its USA oil arm and revise its capital return policy.
In its response, BHP said it regularly reviewed opportunities to create value, including the key elements of Elliott's proposal.
Yesterday, Elliott Associates chose to pick on BHP Billiton, whose shares trade in London and Sydney.
Elliott, run by billionaire Paul Singer, also urged BHP to demerge its petroleum business into a separate entity listed on the New York Stock Exchange and return more cash to shareholders through buy-backs.
Justin Rose Positive On Augusta Hopes After Sergio Garcia Play-Off
It was a wonderful battle and if there is anyone you want to lose to it's Sergio. "If anyone deserves it, it's Sergio". He led after each of the first three rounds at Carnoustie and only needed to par the 18th hole on Sunday to win.
According to Elliott, most of that underperformance "has been driven by the incomplete status of management's streamlining and value-optimization of BHP's group structure and asset portfolio".
BHP stock closed at $25.73 today and could be in for a volatile day tomorrow as the buying has largely been triggered by a substantial shareholder talking up the company's valuation.
That said, BHP's share price performance matches that of its close competitor Rio Tinto, which has no oil earnings, over both one and 10 years. It also said it holds rights with its affiliates to acquire up to 0.4 per cent of the issued shares in BHP Billiton ltd.
A logo for mining company BHP Billiton adorns a sign outside the Perth Convention Centre where their annual general meeting was being held in Perth, Western Australia, November 19, 2015.
Elliott said it holds a long term economic interest of around 4.1 per cent of BHP's London-listed shares. Barclays Capital downgraded the shares of BHP in report on Tuesday, January 12 to "Underweight" rating.
Westbrook poised to break Robertson's record for triple-doubles
Troy Daniels caught fire in the fourth quarter from three, and he had 8 points on the night in 14 minutes of play. We'd rather it be him [getting the rebound]", Steven Adams told ESPN's Royce Young in December.
Since the formation of the dual listing in 2001, BHP says it has returned to shareholders $US23 billion in buybacks and $US56 billion in cash dividends. At present, BHP has a minimum underlying attributable profit payout ratio of 50 per cent.
Based on the value of the company being denominated in USA dollars, the rally has taken the stock to just shy of a major resistance area.
Elliott's letter was released late in the day and the jumped in the last half hour of trading on the Australian share market on Monday.
What the scheme would do is make some bankers and lawyers very busy indeed, without improving the operational efficiency of BHP. BHP will direct about three-quarters of capital expenditure over the next five years to the two favored commodities, according to Macquarie Group Ltd. forecasts.
BHP Billiton Plc is a global resources company.

Reykjavik in winter is a great time to visit – Iceland is magical and Reykjavik is a great place to base yourself. From there you can easily do some fun day trips and explore other parts of the country. So, plan in some time for Iceland´s capital and check out these unique things to do in Reykjavik in winter.

TIPS FOR VISITING REYKJAVIK IN WINTER
This post is about what to do in Reykjavik in winter – including some travel tips for your trip.
Weather in Reykjavik in Winter
Reykjavik in winter is not perfection. I actually struggled quite a bit. Especially the weather was a problem for me – and I do not mean that it was cold. Reykjavik is quite rainy in the winter months. I stayed 12 nights in Reykjavik and it rained on – probably – 6 or 7 out of 12 days. So, keep that in mind.
Apart from the rain, winter in Reykjavik is not as bad as you might think. Temperatures are similar to Central Europe – often ranging between 3° / -2° degrees Celsius. Not too old, I´d say. Snow in Reykjavik is common, though it doesn’t stay for long. To experience winter wonderland, I highly suggest doing a few day trips from Reykjavik.
Also, the days are extremely short in the winter months. You only have 4-5 hours of daylight. This was my main problem with visiting Reykjavik in winter. It is not really weather related but I still want to mention it here.
How to Get Around in Winter
- Public transportation in Reykjavik is okay. It is just okay if you want to use it for a few stops. I used it a few times to get around but mostly I walked to most attractions.
- Though public transportation is not great, you can explore many places via guided tours. If you book guided tours, you normally will be picked up from your hotel or from a pick-up station near your hotel.
- So, renting a car is not essential for the winter months. However, if you rent one you can quite easily get around via car. Driving in Reykjavik in winter is better than driving in other parts of Iceland. If you rent a car and plan to visit areas outside of Reykjavik, be aware that driving can be quite tricky and dangerous if you are not used to these bad weather conditions with a lot of snow and ice (especially in the Northern parts or in the Highlands).
BEST THINGS TO DO IN REYKJAVIK IN WINTER
It is time to talk about the best things to do in Reykjavik in winter – check out what to do in December, January, or February.
Experience Flyover Iceland
Let´s start with one of my favorite activities in Reykjavik. Flyover Iceland is so much more than a 4D movie. It’s a passion project that celebrates the unique beauty of Iceland and its history.
In the simulation, you’ll fly over Iceland’s mountainous landscape and rough coastline, feeling the wind in your hair, and the twists and turns. It was designed to feel like mankind’s greatest dream fulfilled; to feel like you’re flying. With over 200 hours of aerial videography, and years of work put into it, I’d say it was successful!
You’ll also learn about how Iceland was formed, its long history, and Icelandic culture. So not only is it a great deal of fun – but you’ll also go away with a much better understanding of your surroundings and the Icelandic people.
It was one of my most favorite activities – it made me feel happy. I was excited and fell in love before I had seen much of Iceland in real life. However, some other people I talked to criticized the short movie and the quite high price. The “flight” is just 10 minutes – the rest of the time you´ll watch short movies and get some information. Not really spectacular – but the flight was great! For me, it was worth the money.
Also, this is the perfect thing to do on a very cold day in Reykjavik in winter as it is indoors (once you book your tickets, email them and agree on a time slot). Check out prices and more here.
Marvel at Hallgrímskirkja Church
A trip to Reykjavik would be incomplete without a visit to its most recognizable building – Hallgrimskirkja Church.
This Lutheran parish church is one of the tallest buildings in the whole country. It’s striking and unusual, totally different from churches you’ll find anywhere else in the world. The church has a truly massive organ and an austerely beautiful interior. Be sure to venture in for the full experience, and admire the immense effort put into this structure.
From here, you also have some of the best views in Reykjavik from the church tower.
- Entry to the church is free.
- To get to the church tower, there is an entry fee of 1000 ISK (around 7€). You can buy the tickets at the church. No worries, you do not have to climb all the stairs up but can take an elevator.
- Opening hours: From October to April, the church opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 5 p.m. The tower closes at 4:30 p.m. From May to September, the church opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 9 p.m. The tower closes at 8:30 p.m.
Bathe in Geothermal Pools
Iceland in December and the winter months can be daunting. But the locals have been making it comfortable for a long time now. The country is famous for its geothermal pools. These warm outdoor pools have long since been a large part of the culture in Reykjavik. Particularly in winter when the water contrasts so strongly with the frigid air. You’ll even find locals chatting away in a rainstorm.
Geothermal pools are fed by underground hot springs. You can laze in the naturally warm waters of the main pool, before tiptoeing across to the hot tubs to luxuriate in even warmer conditions.
When you visit, be sure to follow etiquette, and shower with soap before getting into the water. This helps them keep the pools clean with minimal chlorine. And feel free to hop into a sauna before or after your swim, to really round out the experience. No matter the weather around you, you’ll feel snug for hours after leaving the pools.
- Sky Lagoon is such a geothermal pool. It is about 7 kilometers south of downtown Reykjavík – check out ticket prices here.
See the Iconic Northern Lights
Because Reykjavik is a city, it has more light pollution than the Icelandic countryside. This means you’ll see the aurora more vibrantly far outside the city, where the Northern Lights is the only thing brightening the sky.
If you’re lucky, you don’t even need to leave Reykjavik to catch a glimpse of the iconically beautiful Northern Lights. If the aurora is active and the sky is clear, you should be able to see it. HOWEVER, it is better to leave the city for better views.
If you’re trying to spot the Northern Lights within the city, head down to the coast. There’s less light pollution in this part of the city, and no buildings obstructing your view. You can simply stroll along the coast and admire the fantastical display. Alternatively, you can set sail on a 2-hour boat tour off the coast.
Even though I stayed in Iceland for about 12 nights in winter, I did not get to see the Northern Lights. Neither in Reykjavik nor when I did Northern Lights tours as they do not appear that often. I just got to see a glimpse of it but it was not what I expected or hoped for.
You can take a half-day tour from Reykjavik for a better chance at this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Visit Harpa Center
One of the best things to do during Reykjavik’s winter months is to see a performance at Harpa.
This unique landmark is a concert hall where you’ll see some of Iceland’s top musical performances. It is also a massive sculpture reflecting everything around it – including the gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains and ocean. Even if there are no performances during your visit to Reykjavik, Harpa Center is well worth a visit. One alternative option is to enjoy a meal at one of the Harpa restaurants, where the center’s innovation is applied to Icelandic ingredients and exciting cuisine.
Spot Street Art
The streets of Reykjavik are full of impressive social and political commentary, as well as just fun art. The Old Harbor area boasts some of the city’s best work. You can also find some street art in the town center.
Spend a few daylight hours (between about 10 am and 4 pm) strolling through the streets and spotting as many of the artworks as you can. It’s like an outdoor museum, full of exhibitions and open to interpretation.
Go Ice Skating on Tjörnin
Ice skating on lake Tjörnin is a Reykjavik tradition. It’s referred to as a pond by the locals because it’s so shallow. Thankfully, this means the water quickly freezes over in winter and can be safely enjoyed throughout the season.
If you’re not really into ice skating (read: keep falling on your butt every time you try), it’s still a lovely place to spend a few hours. You can watch locals and foreigners gliding on the ice, and even see an ice hockey or football match.
Unfortunately, there are not any ice skate rentals around the pond, as it’s geared towards locals. So you’ll have to either bring along your own skates, or take to the ice in your boots for a clumsy but fun time.
Reykjavik also has some indoor skating rinks, where you can actually rent out ice skates. Some favorites are Egilshöll and Ice Rink Laugardalur.
See the Stars at the Perlan Planetarium
Reykjavik’s Perlan Planetarium is another fun experience. This world-class planetarium allows you to witness the Northern Lights and Iceland’s other wonders. All while snug and warm in the city.
The Perlan Planetarium show runs every hour and is thankfully in English. So you’ll have an opportunity to learn about the science behind the aurora borealis and much much more while you’re awed by the beauty.
You can also explore a man-made indoor ice cave and enjoy a 360° panorama of Reykjavík from the viewing deck.
I enjoyed the Perlan Planetarium a lot (though FlyOver Iceland was my highlight) – especially because I “got to see the Northern Lights”. I actually met a few people who said, this was their favorite indoor activity in Reykjavik.
Taste Reykjavik’s cuisine
Reykjavik combines traditional cuisine with modern twists and global fusions. Icelandic food is famous for being pure, with natural ingredients, often locally sourced.
While they’re well-known for many of their meat dishes, you’ll find the city surprisingly vegan-friendly. I really was in vegan heaven – who would have thought?
A recent cultural and ideological shift has made veganism popular among younger Icelanders. This shift means you’ll find some fantastic, creative food, from noodle soup and vegan burgers to gazpacho.
Visit the cafe Ecstasy’s Heart-Garden for some tasty vegan and vegetarian treats, or splurge on fine dining at Burro.
Explore the National Museum of Iceland
Leave the chill outside chill for a few hours and head into Iceland’s National Museum. You’ll learn about the country’s fascinating history, from Viking settlements to contemporary civilization. The museum hosts some wonderful historic artifacts and medieval engravings. You can stroll through the exhibitions, and marvel at the strength and perseverance of a culture that developed here, long before aircon made the chill more manageable!
- Just a note: the museum is closed on Mondays during winter, so plan your itinerary accordingly.
Go on an Icelandic Horseriding Tour
Icelandic horses are they are not as gracious as Arabic horses but these chubby little animals are one of a kind.
Icelandic horses are short and stocky, with long shaggy hair. They’re a great joy to ride for all ages. But more excitingly, the area around Reykjavik is an incredible place to explore on horseback.
Spend a few hours riding through lava fields and along the startling green (or white) hillside. It’s one of the best things to do in Iceland, and totally unique to the country. In addition to the actual riding, horseback riding tours include rubber boots, helmets, rainwear or warm clothes if needed, and a guide. You can even request transport there if you’d prefer.
I am allergic to horses and so I stay away from them, but Icelandic horses are really iconic!
Do Day Trips
Reykjavik in winter is a beautiful place and as you can see, there are fun things to do in the winter months in and near Reykjavik. However, you really want to get out and see what else Iceland has to offer. Check out my post on the best day trips to take in winter.
PIN ME FOR LATER
Reykjavik in winter is an interesting place to visit. It is far away from being the perfect winter city destination in Europe, yet it offers quite some beautiful places and fun activities. So, if you plan a trip to the city, then you have something to really look forward to! Stay safe and enjoy!

A short piece composed and performed by Keston is converted into a spectral analysis digital image that visualizes the timbre, transients, frequency, and amplitude of the recording. The digital print of that process constitutes the upper half of the installation. This visual record of musical performance is then manually mapped by Szyhalski and re-rendered on the gallery wall through a labor intensive process of materializing multiple, individual frequency bands. The new object is then photographed and converted back into sound. The resulting audio sounds like a haunting echo of the original piece, but is warped and contorted in unusual ways.
While listening you might recognized that the frequencies match for brief moments and then wander off again as tiny flaws and variable slackness in the twine shape the hand synthesized sonic textures.
Note: some of the transients in the sound rendered from the nails and twine were adjusted to make up for a slight offset that was caused by the photographic compositing process. A composite of two photographs was necessary to get enough resolution in the image of the nails and twine to produce the new sound as accurately as possible.
Piotr Szyhalski and John Keston worked together on the featured 2012 Northern Spark project, In Habit: Life in Patterns in collaboration with the dance company Aniccha Arts. Szyhalski directed and participated in the piece that included dance, projected imagery, ephemeral screen printed motifs in rice flower, and eight channel music that surrounded the audience. Keston composed and performed the music. The piece was performed repeatedly for almost nine hours during the Northern Spark festival and will be performed in New York, June 2013. Szyhalski has also advised Keston on several of his projects including the interactive touch screen installation, Voice Lessons (2012) featured on Wired.com and CreativeApplications.net.

How many eggs are usually retrieved during IVF?
Even if ovulation is normal, fertility drugs are used to produce more than a single egg because pregnancy rates are higher with more eggs.
An average of 10 – 20 eggs are usually retrieved for IVF..
Is 5 eggs enough for IVF?
We stratified the data into egg age. 5 percent of cases with fewer than 5 follicles did not have have eggs available at harvest. That means that 95 percent did. While the pregnancy rates are lower than if there were more than 5 eggs, the pregnancy rates are still very encouraging.
Can eggs fertilize after 48 hours IVF?
After 16 to 20 hours, the eggs are inspected to detect signs of fertilization (pronuclear formation); after 48 hours, if embryo development is occurring normally, the embryo is at the two to six cell stage.
Why would 50 percent of all fertilized eggs not survive?
It’s estimated that more than 50 percent of all fertilized eggs fail to develop. If it’s going to survive, the egg has a lot of work to do. … The chromosomes of sperm and egg approach each other and then the cell divides. Since the moment the sperm entered the egg, 24 hours have passed.
Is 3 fertilized eggs good for IVF?
A blastocyst is the final stage of the embryo before we cryopreserve them or transfer to a patient. Only 30-50% of embryos growing on day 3 will reach the blastocyst stage. So from our 8 embryos that initially fertilized, about 3-4 will be viable for transfer.
Is 6 eggs enough for IVF?
The more eggs produced from each IVF cycle, the better the chances of a live birth, but only up to about 13 eggs; after that, over stimulation may result in lower-quality eggs that are less likely to become fertilized and result in healthy embryos.
How many rounds of IVF is average?
The importance of 3 full cycles of IVF. A full cycle of IVF treatment covers ovarian stimulation and egg recovery, insemination, and embryo replacement.
How can I increase my egg quality and quantity?
Hirshfeld-Cytron explains what you can do to ensure that your eggs are the best that can be when preparing for conception.Stay Away from Cigarettes. … Manage Stress. … Eat Healthy. … Achieve a Normal BMI (body mass index). … Boost Blood Flow. … Invest in Supplements. … Freeze Your Eggs.
Can a follicle contain 2 eggs?
Well, that’s not always true. It’s also possible for there to be more than one follicle that emerges as the dominant one, and more than one egg released during ovulation (i.e., hyperovulation). If these two genetically distinct eggs get fertilized, they’ll form two genetically distinct zygotes.
What happens to fertilized eggs that don’t implant?
After it is in the uterus, a fertilized egg usually attaches to (implants in) the lining of the uterus (endometrium). But not all fertilized eggs successfully implant. If the egg is not fertilized or does not implant, the woman’s body sheds the egg and the endometrium.
What percent of the fertilized eggs survive?
Once the embryo reaches the blastocyst stage, approximately five to six days after fertilization, it hatches out of its zona pellucida and begins the process of implantation in the uterus. In nature, 50 percent of all fertilized eggs are lost before a woman’s missed menses.
What is the best grade embryo?
Clinics that grade embryos on day 3 of growth typically use a grading system ranking the embryos on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being the best (some clinics may use 5 as the best). Day 3 embryos ideally consist of 6-8 cells held within an outer “shell” called the zona pellucida.
Why is IVF bad?
Risks of IVF include: Multiple births. IVF increases the risk of multiple births if more than one embryo is transferred to your uterus. A pregnancy with multiple fetuses carries a higher risk of early labor and low birth weight than pregnancy with a single fetus does.
Can you do back to back IVF cycles?
That means waiting about 4 to 6 weeks after the embryo transfer and negative pregnancy test to start another full cycle for most women. Doing this several times in a row is referred to as having back to back IVF cycles. When cycles are further apart, they may be referred to as delayed.
What are the signs of unsuccessful implantation?
Vaginal bleeding may also be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when a fertilized egg implants into one of the fallopian tubes instead of the lining of the uterus. Other symptoms may include pain in the abdomen, pelvis, or even the shoulder, but sometimes vaginal bleeding is the only sign.
What percentage of fertilized eggs make it to Day 5?
40-50%This does not mean they will not lead to a pregnancy, but we may caution you that they are less likely to make blastocysts, and less likely to implant. Remember, even if all of your embryos are perfect on day 3, on average only 40-50% of them will become blastocyst on day 5.
Are day 6 blastocysts good?
We demonstrated that the blastocysts vitrified on day 6 were of higher quality compared to the blastocyst vitrified on day 5 but still resulted with a significantly lower pregnancy rate. This study is the first to evaluate the pregnancy outcome after transfer of vitrified slow-growing good quality embryos.
Why do eggs not Fertilise in IVF?
The sperm can also be the cause of a mature egg not fertilizing. … There are some eggs that are in the ovaries that have no chance of developing into an embryo because they are atretic. Atresia is a form of abnormal development in which the cytoplasm, or cell material, of the egg is dark and non-functional.
Why do embryos stop growing after Day 3?
When embryos are cultured to the blastocyst stage in the IVF laboratory, it is common to see about half of the embryos stop growing by the end of the third day. This rate of attrition is normal and is a result of the poor developmental potential of some of the embryos.

Cemetery prepares for Memorial Day
Eagle Scout lays markers at graves on vets' cemetery
SIERRA VISTA — Monday is Memorial Day.
It’s a day people will go to a cemetery; a place a loved one or acquaintance may be buried.
A person who may have died in one of the nation’s wars.
A place where veterans of America’s armed forces rest after their deaths years after their service.
But, getting ready for that somber time means that days before, a number of activities must take place to prepare the cemeteries.
Friday, such activity was
happening at the Southern Arizona Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery.

Board OKs additional preschool classes
The demand for public preschool in Henrico County has grown so fast that the waiting list for the county’s program – more than 500 students – nearly exceeds the number of students being served by it.
But some help is on the way.
The Henrico School Board voted unanimously at its Jan. 13 meeting to add eight preschool classes (144 students) beginning this fall.
Its vote authorized the inclusion of $283,000 in its 2011-12 budget to help hire eight teachers and eight assistants; matching funds will come from the Virginia Preschool Initiative.
It’s unknown where those eight classes will be located. They could all be placed at the New Bridge School in Eastern Henrico or spread across several schools in the county. Officials also are considering leasing space at the new Children’s Museum of Richmond location at West Broad Village in Short Pump, among other spots.
“Our preschool staff is always looking for opportunities for space,” said Gail Jones, the school system’s federal programs coordinator.
Henrico’s preschool program currently serves students in 30 classes at 22 schools countywide, and Jones expects more than 1,000 students to register for the 2011-12 school year. The school system received 245 calls about the program on Jan. 12 alone, she said.
Three Chopt District School Board member Diana Winston praised the preschool program as an effective way to instill proper conduct, discipline and ideals in youngsters.
“We’re going to impact our overall graduation rates, and schools will definitely improve because of it,” she said.
Jones concurred, telling the board that the schools that have had preschool programs for several years have seen the difference it makes and many now want to add more classes.
Winston suggested that the school system consider using space at Short Pump Middle School for the new classes, since that school has only 800 students and plenty of vacant space since the opening of Holman Middle School last fall.
Varina District representative John Montgomery suggested the Mathetmatics and Science Center – operated jointly with seven other school districts – as a possibility, and Tuckahoe District representative Lisa Marshall suggested incorporating students from the teaching center at Glen Allen High School into the preschool program.
Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden’s admission has increased by $1 across all categories. Admission is now $12 for adults; $11 for seniors ages 55 and older; and $8 for children ages 3–12. Admission remains free for children ages 3 and younger and for members.

Tired of spending big money on handgun ammunition that you can’t return and then hoping that a) it feeds and functions correctly in your gun, b) your gun likes it well enough to shoot it accurately, c) it produces tolerable recoil, and d) it shoots to point of aim?
We all know guns usually shoot some ammo well and other ammo poorly. Littlestone Ammunition’s sample pack system helps you find a quality, effective and accurate load at a fraction of the money you’d spend buying numerous full boxes of different kinds of ammunition.
For less than you’d pay for a box of 20 rounds of most decent ammunition, you should try one of Littlestone Ammunition’s 20-round sample packs, which will let you test different types of ammo at much less cost. When you find the load you’re looking for you can buy a supply knowing it will do the job for you instead of just hoping it will.
And to help you test your Sample Pack, if you choose you can download to your mobile device Littlestone Ammunition's SureSHOT app, available FREE from any page on our website. After downloading, you can take it to the range and it will help you find the right load for you based on four metrics that you can customize according to your preference.
This is a 20-round sample pack of two bullets:.
Ten rounds loaded with 165-grain Remington Golden Saber Hollow Points: The Golden Saber is Remington’s offering for law enforcement and personal defense use. This hollow point bullet has some unusual features Remington suggests produce superior performance. Unlike most jacketed bullets in which the jacket is a copper alloy, the Golden Saber jacket is pure brass, which is said to release energy over a longer distance while mushrooming. Additionally, the skives on the hollow point jacket are cut in a spiral rather than straight down, said by Remington to allow mushrooming at a lower velocity. Additionally, this bullet offers match-type accuracy and deep penetration, while providing maximum penetration and nearly 100% weight retention. Starline brass cases.
Ten rounds loaded with 165-grain Speer Gold Dot Hollow Points, five each: Gold Dot hollow points are manufactured in three basic steps. First the core receives the bonded jacket; next an oversize hollow point cavity is installed with predetermined expansion folds; and lastly the final cavity shape and volume are set for the optimum performance for the cartridge and intended use. Gold Dots were the industry’s first truly bonded bullet, and the bonded construction provides exceptional weight retention to promotes penetration. Starline brass cases.

Battered by powerful storms and overheated in a dome of heat, Texas broke temperature records this week and endured a dangerous early heatwave that strained the state’s independent power grid.
But lights and air conditioners across the state remained on, largely due to the unlikely new reality in the nation’s leading oil and gas state that Texas is fast becoming a leader in solar power. be.
The amount of solar energy generated in Texas has doubled since the beginning of last year. And it will nearly double again by the end of next year, according to Texas Power Reliability Council data. The state already rivals California in the amount of electricity it gets from commercial solar power plants. Commercial solar power plants are expanding rapidly across Texas, from the dry ranches of West Texas to the fast-growing suburbs of southwest Houston.
“Solar power currently produces 15% of total energy,” Joshua Rose, a research scientist at the University of Texas at Austin, said on a sweltering day in the state capital last week. comes from the sun
About 7% of the electricity used in Texas so far this year came from the sun31% from wind power.
Texas’ increasing reliance on renewable energy has worried some Texas legislators who have in mind reliable production and revenues from oil and gas. “Definitely a lot of ruffled feathers,” Dr. Rose says.
Energy experts said several bills passed by Republican-controlled state Senate this spring would add new costs and regulations to the solar and wind industries and reduce the number of new projects in the state. It contained provisions that severely restricted the Those bills failed to pass before Congress closed last month, but the desire to take similar action and skepticism about renewable power remain strong among many Republicans in the state.
“Wind power was the biggest infrastructure failure in Texas history,” said Rep. Jared Patterson, a conservative Republican in the Dallas area. on Twitter Wednesday. “It’s hot and it’s going to be hotter,” he wrote in a previous tweet. “Solar power helps, but make no mistake, the world’s ninth largest economy runs on natural gas.”
The politics of power generation in Texas has undergone a rapid shift in recent years, in the wake of power grid outages during a deadly winter storm in February 2021. The immediate reaction of many Republicans, including Governor Greg Abbott, was to blame frozen policy. wind turbines, but Subsequent review Persistent cold weather has caused widespread shutdowns of natural gas-fired power plants.
A June heat wave has renewed the debate over power grids as temperatures soar to dangerous levels. The border town of Del Rio reached 113 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, the highest temperature since records began more than 100 years ago. According to the National Weather Service. Then on Wednesday it was 115 degrees.
It was not an isolated event. The heat dome over Texas follows a record-breaking dome in Puerto Rico earlier this month and another that dried out central Canada and sparked devastating wildfires. Scientists warn that the planet’s steady warming is leading to increased intensity and duration of heat waves.
Many Texans are adept at following the ebb and flow of their state’s energy markets. Demand and supply curves posted in near real time By Texas Electrical Reliability Council (ERCOT). If energy demand threatens to outstrip supply, rolling blackouts may be a last resort.
As the supply and demand curves briefly approached earlier this week, ERCOT called on customers to voluntarily reduce their electricity usage.
Paul Raspberry, who owns a flower shop outside Fort Worth, said he’s already practicing habits to reduce his energy use. “We raise the temperature, put foil on the windows, close certain rooms and pray,” he said. “Many prayers.”
The heat has made it tough across the state, even for those accustomed to high temperatures. “I worry about humidity,” said Kristen Triplett, standing in the sun outside Dallas on a day when the air felt as hot as 114 degrees. “It’s like breathing underwater.”
Amid a heat wave, strong storms cut power to more than 100,000 customers in Texas, spawned at least two deadly tornadoes, killed three in Perryton in the northern Panhandle last week, and hit central Texas on Wednesday. At least four people died in the town. Matador.
But for most of the last week, the same intense sun that endangered Texans’ lives also helped power the state.
Allison Silverstein, an independent energy consultant based in Austin, said, referring to the impact on electricity prices, “renewables will definitely save the grid and save our wallets.” .
Another test is due early next week, as further excessive heat is expected to push energy demand above record levels.
Republican leadership in the state has long embraced renewable power. Former Governor Rick Perry helped establish Texas as a wind power leader. Supporting Multi-Billion Dollar Effort to Build Power Lines in 2005 Delivering power to major population centers from the windy west of the state.
And Texas’s competitive energy market, with long-standing support from state leaders, has enabled renewable energy development faster than many other states, first with wind and now with solar. As the cost of photovoltaic technology has decreased, large scale solar arrays are being developed.
“As a state, we welcomed this and worked hard to make it happen,” Sen. Nathan Johnson, a Dallas Democrat, said in the Oval Office at the Texas State Capitol. “Renewables are now a convenient scapegoat for the lack of reliability in the energy grid.”
Republicans have increasingly questioned the reliability of wind and solar power (some have called renewables “unreliable”) and the level of subsidies offered to wind and solar projects. there is
“There seems to be a really unfair playing field in the market,” state Senator Phil King said at a hearing this year. “If we level up that playing field, will people start building gas plants?”
Concerns over reliability were echoed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who said Texas doesn’t have enough spare capacity to make up for underperformance of wind and solar power for the day.
Patrick: “Not enough energy to dispatch” said last month, refers to an energy source that can be quickly activated in an emergency. Their power source may be batteries, but their capacity is still small. Power companies typically look to power plants that are powered by natural gas.
Last month, the Texas legislature passed a new $10 billion program primarily to encourage the construction of new natural gas power plants. That total includes $1.8 billion to purchase backup generators for local hospitals and other critical services, a provision Johnson originally proposed.
Republicans too advanced law This will increase costs and regulations for renewable energy producers, including new tariffs and new licensing requirements for transmission and ancillary services. Rules for project locations.
The bill fell through, but it was at the last minute and not before concerns rose within the industry.
“It’s a big irony,” said John Berger, chief executive of Sannova Energy, a residential solar and battery company based in Houston. “The growth of wind and solar is because Texas is more capitalist than many other states,” he said. The idea was to have Gas invest $10 billion.”
“This is blatant protectionism, and that’s not what makes Texas great,” he added.
Texas still lags behind California in the amount of solar power installed on residential roofs. However, it is rapidly surpassing the Golden State in solar plant growth.
Fort Bend County, a suburb of Houston, has grown from one large solar farm in 2020 to six today.
“As we speak, it’s being commissioned,” said Joaquín Castillo, CEO of Axiona Energy North America, of the company’s project. New 1,500-acre solar farm in Fort Bend, which is expected to be switched on this summer. “Texas has historically demonstrated a strong commitment to the free market,” Castillo said. “And it’s a rapidly growing market in terms of demand.”
This change has been particularly rapid and noticeable in rural West Texas, where voters are often conservative and usually supportive of oil and gas development and are increasingly benefiting from widespread solar power. increase.
“It’s better for the economy,” said Joe Shuster, a Democratic county judge in Pecos County, north of Big Bend National Park. “I don’t know how many megawatts we put out, but it’s a lot.”
He said the vast county has a long history of oil and gas development. Then came the wind. Solar power now. Shuster said he invited President Biden to visit the county to see how fossil fuels and renewable energy sources can be developed in tandem.
“Everyone throws stones at green energy,” Shuster said. “They can coexist. I strongly believe in that.”
The president never accepted his invitation.

She made this known when the Grants, Finance, and Risk Management Officer of the NGO, Mr Abraham Ndambuki, paid her a courtesy visit in Abuja.
She said that the partnership would focus on men, women, people living with disabilities and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
She explained that participants for the partnership programme would be selected in clusters so that each participant can leverage on the advantage of others.
According to her, the approach will provide greater opportunities for young entrepreneurs to benefit from the fund.
She promised to provide the fund with database of young people who would be beneficiaries and would ensure that the businesses are sustainable and successful.
“We are also in the process of designing a framework for a Youth Development Bank, while the Youth Investment Fund is being reviewed.
“We want to improve and expand on this programme. We will operationalise the fund.
“We are open to ideas on how we can work together and collaborate on those government priority sectors,” she said.
Bio-Ibrahim added that the ministry was focusing on priority sectors such as Agriculture, Climate Adaption, Digital Economy, Blue-economy, Mining, and Renewable Energy so as to establish young people in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the main objective of the fund is to unlock enterprise growth, scale-up and sustain the creation of dignified and fulfilling work opportunities for young Nigerians.
In his presentation, Ndambuki said that the programme had been implemented in 20 African countries and Nigeria is one of them.
He added that “we have engaged 35 different stakeholders, including government officials and the private sector, as the programme is in its second phase. The first phase was completed last year, and it lasted for 10 years.
“It was valued at 50 million dollars, and we succeeded in disbursing the entire 50 million dollars across eight countries.
“The foundation has come with a second phase and increased the amount to 126 million dollars, equivalent to approximately N194 billion in today’s rate.
“It will last for the next seven years, so we are now in the first year, which is the preliminary stage, and that is why we are
performing the visibility market research to identify and understand the Nigerian markets.”
According to him, Nigeria is the organisation’s central focus, adding that the fund’s presence in the country is to identify key stakeholders to partner with, at the start the programme in April.

Amidst the chaos of New York Comic Con weekend, Desert Island held a kids-oriented, indie comics event at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The children of New York’s young well-to-do families perused colorful booklets and questioned the authors about their work, while collecting pages of a screen-printed (and laboriously produced) ‘coloring-book.’ Occasional bursts of doodled sex or vomit made it through the content filter and into a child’s hands, restoring an earnestly subversive-ness to the art experience.
The event tied into the last day of a remarkable retrospective of the work of Lyonel Feininger, subtitled “At the Edge of the World.” Feininger is celebrated in Germany, where he spent most of his artistic career. However, he was born, died, and identified himself as an American—and juggled both an American and German national identities during both world wars. He is best known for a crucial misinterpretation of cubism, developing a romantic, conservative style while the art-world grew more abstract, nihilistic and fragmented. Feininger was successful—he was embraced by the Expressionists, and taught at the Bauhaus. I expect that every major museum of modern art has a Feininger in its collection, but his ‘Prismism’ proved more curious than influential. The Whitney’s resurrection of Feininger didn’t so much revoke previous dismissals as shift the focus away from Prismism to other facets of his work.
In addition to his paintings, “At the Edge of the World” showcased Feininger’s cartoons, photographs, prints, music and wooden carvings. Yet its obvious that Feininger didn’t consider these works as seriously. In a bid to restore Feininger as a relevant artist, the Whitney told a story that Feininger wouldn’t have told about himself. I’m also not sure it’s a story the art-world would have told until recently. The Whitney uses his cartoons and carvings to validate the rosy nostalgism of Feininger’s painting, yet the paintings justify the presence of the cartoons and carvings in the museum. The event is structured like a biographical wunderkammer—a cabinet of curiosities, a history museum. And comics, long eschewed and appropriated by fine-art, are represented on world-class gallery walls and showcased through a series of tie-in events, like a talks featuring Art Spiegelman, Gary Panter and Chris Ware, and “Zine Festival.” Read more
