She gets invited.
The only stipulation though is that she keeps on her best behavior.
"Only one small fight, please," Iris tells her, "that is the only request of the silver-footed bride and her groom, the son of Aeacus."
Eris frowns, but agrees. She already has a wedding gift ready, after all - a golden apple for the bride inscribed "To the fairest." Nobody would dispute a gift to the bride on her wedding day.
She can manage a small disagreement over two lesser goddesses maybe over their robes being too alike, yes, that should do.
Before Eris can shout "To the fairest!" someone has neatly plucked the golden apple from her hand.
"So lovely that you could attend, Eris," Hermes grins, polishing the fruit against his long cape. "And who is this for? Little old me? You shouldn't have!"
Before she can snatch it back, he takes a bite, right into the part where she has inscribed the word she intended to destroy the happy occasion.
The goddess of discord is seething with rage, but it's not like she can procure another golden apple so quickly. She storms out of the celebration right after Hermes drags her to bride and groom so she can grumble some form of congratulations.
Hermes continues to calmly chomp on the apple and even offers a slice to Dionysos, too intoxicated to even know any wiser. Eris catches his eye right as she leaves, but finds his shadowed eyes impossible to read - she never knows if he did it all on purpose.
When the Apple of Discord drops to the ground and the goddess of discord leaves with a harsh laugh, it is the Ruler of Many who picks it up.
It is so rare for him to be out of the Underworld, but it is a great occasion and Thetis and Peleus have honoured him by requesting that he attend their wedding. Still, the (normally) Unseen One is the centre of attention when he reaches down for the golden fruit marked "Fairest."
His eyes move about the room of guests, but he ignores them all until he sees his wife. In a simple gesture, he takes her wrist and places the apple into her hand. She blushes faintly and the other goddesses eye her with great envy.
She is gracious enough to offer the apple to Thetis, who is honoured but politely declines. In return, the Hospitable One offers her a single favour as a wedding gift.
(And in time, Thetis takes that favour - she cannot make her son immortal, but dipping him in the waters of the River Styx will make him invulnerable to all mortal injury.)
But for now, which goddesses would dare to argue against the judgment of the Wealthy One or his dread queen? How he chose his wife without hesitation as the recipient of the title the "Fairest"? It is best to say complimentary things, like how she is fortunate to have such a loving husband who appreciates her beauty.
Everyone stares as the golden apple flies through the air, the fruit shining bright like a star. Everyone holds their breath as it falls, hitting the ground gently and rolls. There is nary a goddess who would not reach for it, though most shrink away when they see three of the most powerful women in their midst stepping towards it.
Three hands move toward it as it begins to settle. But a delicate hand quietly lifts the fruit from the ground as it touches the hem of her robe. The goddess of the hearth looks up serenely, with a smile as warm as a glowing ember.
"For the fairest," Hestia says, turning the apple against the light of the fire she sits near. "Who should it go to?"
There is a long and silent pause. No one dares to even breathe, much less move. Hera and Athena and Aphrodite cast their fearsome eyes toward Zeus. It takes a moment before he steps towards her and kneels.
"Sweet sister Hestia, the first of the Olympians," he says, "There is no contest here - there is no goddess whose beauty can compare to that which is seen in your humbleness and kind heart! Why, it can go to no one else."
Hestia looks into her brother's eyes and sees something no one else sees. The soft smile does not leave her face as she nods and thanks him.
It's a shrewd move. There is not one immortal who dare to take the gift from the goddess of the hearth. It would be too tasteless, too shameful a thing to do to one so kind and sweet. It can go to no one else, indeed.
Priam knows the story of Oedipus of Thebes. When he learns the son born of Hecuba that day will cause the fall of Troy, he does not order a shepherd to expose the child.
He orders a guard to kill the infant. Smother it, throw him into a fire, make sure the child does not live. The king steels himself and watches the guard finish the deed. The infant is buried in all the honours afforded to a prince of Troy.
Hecuba never forgives him, but Ilium stands strong for when Hector becomes its king.
Paris has little to do in ways of entertainment, aside from pitting Agelaus's bulls against one another (and bedding Oenone). There is one bull amongst Agelaus's bulls who wins the bouts consistently, so he does what comes naturally: challenge rival herdsmen's prize bulls.
He's more than pleased to see Agelaus's bull defeat them all and doesn't think twice about offering a golden crown to any bull who can beat his champion. But when his bull is overthrown by another, Paris is outraged to see the contender transform into a god.
It does not pay for him to be dishonest - the Lord of War tears Paris to pieces for his impudence. There is not a single suitable judge for the golden apple.
Paris stares at the three goddesses. To be honest, they were all blindingly beautiful. It was like looking right into the brilliant light of Hyperion's three children at the same time.
But when they start offering bribes, it gets easier. Being a simple shepherd, he can't imagine being married to the most beautiful woman in the world (as pleasurable as that sounded) - besides, Oenone still satisfied him quite well. He did like the sound of wealth and power, though endless victories would be useful as well.
Next to him, Hermes shrugs and gestures again, sweeping his hand from the apple for the "Fairest" that Paris is holding to the goddesses. He takes one last look at the three: golden Aphrodite, white-armed Hera, and grey-eyed Athena.
At last, he decides - no man can hope to win every battle. He presents the apple to the Queen of the Gods. Hera glows with satisfaction.
Certainly, Paris suffers from a long string of unfortunate love affairs and he never wins any battles, but he is elevated into a prominent prince of Troy who brings the city more plundered gold than any other when he can avoid fighting. Of course, Paris is fated to destroy Troy. Alas, the moment he decides to become King of Ilium, the city is doomed as he is corrupted by his desire for power and wealth.
Perhaps to reward him for solving the difficult problem of how Helen's husband isn't going to get killed by other suitors, Tyndareus persuades Helen to choose the young king of Ithaka as her husband. If Odysseus is disappointed, he does not show it.
For Tyndareus, it solves the most immediate problem of getting her married and has the added bonus of keeping her out of sight. Maybe he has the foresight to know that her beauty is going to cause more problems and a crafty man like Odysseus should be able to manage that. Besides, he has other beautiful daughters and nieces to marry off to powerful Achaean kings.
In any case, Aphrodite still plans for her favourite to meet Helen. All it takes is some whispered words to Poseidon and Paris's ship is storm-tossed from Sparta all the way to the rocky shores of Ithaka.
Odysseus is a gracious host, offering fine wine to his guests and men to repair the Trojan ships, as well as all the appropriate treasure one should give as gifts. He does not mind that Paris gives Helen more attention than one should give to another man's wife, a king's wife.
But Paris learns the hard way that Odysseus is no fool. On the night that he tries to steal Helen away, he is shocked to find all his ships aflame and sinking into the wine-dark sea.
Odysseus appeases Priam by returning Paris's body, accompanied by twelve mourning women and a tribute of gold worth the life of a Trojan prince who died in while accepting the hospitality of the King of Ithaka. To ease the pain, Odysseus has even managed to convince Telamon of Salamis to return Hesione to Troy. It takes very little persuasion for them to believe that Paris died bravely helping the king defend his island from most terrible enemies.
Only Helen is impressed that her husband got away with it. But he shrugs and just thanks her for reminding him that he needs to pour libations to his patron and others besides.
It pays to have the favour of Athena after all, and Hera too.
Helen thinks about her daughter, still a young child. She thinks of Menelaus, perhaps not as golden and powerful as Agamemnon, but still a just ruler and a good husband and father. Then there are her brothers and her sisters, the people of Sparta.
And then there is Paris, who is loading his ships with Spartan treasure and her - the so-called most beautiful woman in the world, his prize for winning the favour of the goddess of love and beauty.
Beauty. She has seen her reflection a thousand times but it means nothing to her. It is nothing but trouble. She remembers how she had been abducted and her brothers, in their fury, had taken her back, with Theseus's mother and sister to become her slaves. She remembers how Clytemnestra, Timandra and Phoebe had to swallow the bitter pill of being her sister, how Philonoe became a priestess of Artemis, how Penelope married far away (perhaps all to avoid Helen forever). She remembers the blood of the horse that her suitors had sworn by to defend her husband's honour.
The husband that her father had let her choose, the only decision she had ever made in her life.
Paris is careless and Helen spies the dagger, clean and polished. He is not a man who has ever fought in his life, she thinks with disgust.
When Paris comes back to claim her, she is already on his bed, and dressed in a flame-coloured robe. He is lovesick and ready to pleasure himself with the most beautiful woman in the world. But when he goes to undress her, he steps back when he finds the robes are dyed with blood, so much blood, gloriously beautiful blood, all from the lifeless Helen, her lovely eyes rolled back and a blade in her beautiful, oh so beautiful, throat.
It was the only other choice she had made in her entire life.
Agamemnon offends the goddess of the wild hunt, so the Achaean ships cannot sail. As soon as the oracles declare the reason for the lack of favourable winds, the great King of Mycanae's face turns to stone.
Of his daughters, the eldest must be sacrificed - the goddess has demanded the most beautiful thing to be born from Mycenae fourteen years ago to be sacrificed. He knows that there can be no war without her death and nothing else will be sufficient to appease Artemis.
But Achilles is outraged that he should be dangled as bait for Iphigenia to be lured to Aulis. He will not let his honour be tainted by the insult but because he cannot kill Agamemnon, it is in that anger that he makes her an unsuitable as a sacrifice.
Troy does not burn all because Iphigenia could not die for one thousand ships to launch.
But rather than take another of his daughters (after all, there is still Laodice and Chrysothemis, Iphianassa and Elektra), Agamemnon gives into the request to his brother to give up, as much as Menelaus's dignity demands this. Instead, Agamemnon bites his tongue and "grants" Achilles the honour of marrying his eldest daughter. He is a man of his word, even if those words belonged to the sly Odysseus, intent on bringing Iphigenia to Aulis, and nothing more.
It helps that the oracles foretell that they will otherwise fight a war because of a monstrous woman who destroys the Age of Heroes. All her former suitors pray for the terrible and unfaithful woman to meet an untimely end.
And crafty Odysseus sends his gratitude - it spares him twenty years away from home, from his faithful and lovely wife and fine young son. Who knows how, but he brings news that Helen has died a terrible and painful death in childbirth, with Paris' bastard son along with her, and all the treasure and more that Sparta lost when Paris abducted Helen besides. Troy will fall all on its own, all because of Paris, outraged at the loss of his lover.
At least Agamemnon remembers to pour libations for Artemis in thanks (more than he knows he should - there is no reason for Clytemnestra to murder him now) and Menelaus finds a more agreeable wife in one of Helen's remaining sisters.
But everything does happen as it does.
There would be no stories to be told otherwise.

A Minimalist Music with Western, Balinese, and Chinese Elements
Purpose: This paper is to remind the Balinese folklore of the legendary love story of King Jaya Pangus Harkajalancana and Paduka Sri Cacangkaja Cihna (Kang Cing Wie) in Dalem Balingkang by composing a minimalist music with Western, Balinese, and Chinese elements. Research methods: The musical work is done by referring to the exploration stage, the experimental (improvisation) stage, and the forming stage. The three stages are applied as a reference in the process of cultivating the â€œBali-Kangâ€. Results and discussion: The â€œBali-Kangâ€ composition consists of three parts with a different interpretation but is still in one unity. This work uses minimalist music techniques and kotekan techniques, which last for about 14 minutes. Implication: Such a music must always be made update according to newest and actual situation so that the legendary love story can be remembered by all generations, at least in Bali.

The law puts strict limits on who can access your credit report. Some parties have the right to review that information even if you don't give explicit permission. You can protect yourself by reviewing your report regularly to find out who has been inquiring about your credit. You can also ask for a credit freeze to prevent unauthorized access to your credit report.
Who Can Access Your Report
The Federal Reserve identifies who can access your credit report without your specific approval. The list includes anyone with a legitimate business interest in seeing your credit, such as a potential landlord or bank where you want to open an account.
In addition, all lenders whom you've asked for credit or who have already given you credit can see your information. Utilities and cell phone companies that provide you with services can get your credit report, as can insurance companies with whom you have, or may have, a policy.
If you apply for government benefits, government agencies reviewing your financial status can access your credit. Credit reporting companies will release your report when presented with a court order or grand jury subpoena. Your employer can access your credit report only if you provide specific approval.
Find out Who's Seen Your Report
Your credit report lists people who have requested a copy of your credit report. Review of this list is one way to check for potential identity theft, as illegally obtaining access to your credit is often the first step before opening accounts in your name. You should know the names of the people or companies that accessed your credit report. If you do not, it is a red flag that something is amiss.
If you spot mistakes in your credit report, including the names of people you don't feel should have access to your information, write a letter to the credit reporting agency.
Protect Yourself With Regular Review
You are entitled to one free credit report per year from each of the credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. You can order your credit report by calling Annual Credit Report at 1-877-322-8228. You will be asked to provide certain information to confirm your identity. The Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, recommends stating only the last four digits of your Social Security number to help protect your privacy. You will also have to give your date of birth and address.
Consider a Credit Freeze
The FTC recommends a credit freeze for anyone who is concerned about identity theft or unauthorized access to her credit report. With a credit freeze, existing creditors and their debt collectors still have access to your report, as do government agencies acting under a court order or subpoena. New creditors, however, will not have access.
Credit freezes do not affect your credit score, and you are still entitled to free annual credit reports. If you choose to have a freeze on your credit, you may have to request that it is lifted temporarily when you want certain parties to review your credit, such as a potential landlord. Credit reporting agencies may charge a fee for placing and lifting a credit freeze.

As we often hear in the fight against climate change, better late than never to tackle it. And the world’s largest museum system must immediately tackle the looming problem.
The New York Times published an article in late November, outlining the challenges facing the Smithsonian Institution regarding climate change and how it threatens the millions of artifacts stored and displayed in the 11 museums located on the National Mall.
As writer Christopher Flavelle described the situation: âAn institution popular with the public, well funded and staffed with leading experts protects the nation’s treasures with sandbags and trash cans.
As the article points out, the problem with museums stems from the fact that the grounds of the National Mall were once a swamp. Scientists say the earth could eventually be submerged by water and threaten basements and ground floors and floodplains that contain millions of documents and historical artifacts.
The American History Museum is already experiencing water intrusions in its basement, where staff try to contain water with flood barriers, sensors that sound alarms when areas are wet, and plastic trash cans on wheels that contain cat litter and are designed to absorb water.
No artifacts have been lost yet, but as one facilities manager told The Times, âWe’re kind of in trial and error. It’s about managing water.
In addition to potential water damage, electrical and ventilation systems in buildings could fail and affect humidity levels that help valuable works of art and documents.
The projects proposed to alleviate the problems are blocked by funding, most of which comes from congressional approval, and by the entities charged with controlling the floods. Potential groups include the National Park Service and the Army Corps of Engineers, among others.

SINGAPORE: Restaurants in Marina Bay Sands (MBS) have donated nearly 15,000kg of perishable food products to a charity, ahead of the integrated resort’s one-month closure during the nationwide “circuit breaker” campaign to curb the further spread of COVID-19.
In a news release on Monday (Apr 6), MBS said it had arranged for the restaurants on its premises to donate bread, vegetables, fruit, meat, dairy products and 3,600 eggs to The Food Bank Singapore.
The charity collects excess food from food suppliers and re-distributes them to organisations such as old folks' homes, family service centres and soup kitchens.

"As an integrated resort, we consume a lot of food every day, from our staff dining rooms to our restaurants.
"For the next one month, we may be pausing action, but we hope our donated food will fill up the tables of the underprivileged and keep them warm and full during these unprecedented times,” said Ms Christine Sheares, vice president, F&B, Marina Bay Sands.
Mr Nicholas Ng, co-founder of The Food Bank Singapore, said its donations and volunteer involvement have been badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr Ng added that the food items donated will help alleviate the concerns of its beneficiary members - Chen Su Lan Methodist Children's Home, Free Food for All, Sion Christian Aftercare Services, Sunlove Home and Willing Hearts.
"We truly appreciate Marina Bay Sands’ thoughtfulness and generosity ... We would like to call out to more organisations to join Marina Bay Sands and donate their excess food to feed the hungry," he said.

Continuing a successful career spanning a quarter century, Susan shows no signs of slowing down. The daughter of a police detective and the eldest of five children, Susan was raised in the small town of Oak Glenn, California on an apple ranch far removed from the glamour and lights of show business.
During high school, Susan won several beauty contests and she continued her success in pageants by winning the Miss California crown in 1969. She went on to become second runner-up to Miss America in 1970. She dazzled the audience and judges with her talents that she quickly abandoned her dream of becoming a Child Psychologist and moved to Hollywood.
Within a couple of years, she received her first big break when she inherited the title of the Muriel Cigar Girl from internationally famous singer Edie Adams. Susan appeared in numerous television commercials as the Muriel Girl. Her co-stars in those spots often included other budding stars such as Treat Williams and Tom Selleck.
The campaign was the catalyst for her frequent appearances on The Merv Griffin Show, placing her firmly in the national spotlight and served as a launching pad for her transition into theater, films and television.
In the 80ís and 90ís, Susan toured with Kenny Rogers and was a guest star with the Great Radio City Music Hall Spectacular. Her stage and screen credits include roles in Broadway shows such as The Will Rogers Follies and the films Goldengirl and Making Mr. Right with John Malkovich.
Susan spent over 5 years in Las Vegas as the Special Guest Star with the Great Radio City Music Hall Spectacular and its renowned Rockettes. Prior to this tenure, she toured for 2 years in the U.S. national tour of the same production, making her not only one of the most popular and glamorous stars on the Las Vegas Strip, but a true veteran of the theater.
The New York Times describe her a "convincing pop/soul artist who reveals a strong, supple voice along with an intelligent, well-balanced interpretive approach."
Susan is recognized around the world as a distinguished concert performer and recording artist. Having opened for Kenny Rogers' world-tour, she ultimately hit the top 10 of the country charts with her very first single Killing Time, and earned a Gold Record in Japan for her mega-hit album Foxy.

Trusted teacher: ARDUINO is a free hardware microcontroller. It is very useful for learning electronics and coding at the same time. It is very estimating thanks to that we can solve problems and look at the results physically. Thanks to the size of its community and the openness of its philosophy, information is widely accessible. Arduino allows us to undertake countless projects of all kinds. In a way, it's a small door through which you can easily access the world of makers. Among others. In the particular case of the arduino, my main goal is to stimulate creativity and curiosity. In addition to allowing my student to acquire a level of competence which allows him to function alone. I am used to working with people of different ages. I believe in segmentation, visualization of progress, objective results and practice. Beyond these general lines, there is no rule or magic method. Some things work with some students and not with others. Adapting to needs is really the goal of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.

RAY PARLOUR believes Manchester United should fight tooth and nail to land Gareth Bale and offer Alexis Sanchez as bait.
Both players are struggling to find form for the Red Devils and Real Madrid respectively and have been linked with high-profile summer transfers.
Interim United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate to offload Sanchez in the summer but is struggling to find a club who will pay his £500,000-a-week wage.
And Bale, 29, is edging closer to the exit door following the return of Zinedine Zidane.
The Welshman found himself on the bench for large periods under the Frenchman's first reign and his recent struggle for form will have done little to convince Zidane that he is worthy of a starting role.
Real's home faithful have even turned on Bale following a string of poor performances and injuries.
And although Arsenal legend Parlour has been left baffled with Sanchez's lack of impact at Old Trafford, he thinks that a swap deal would make perfect sense because they are both earning astronomical wages.
Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: “Sanchez was in such great form at Arsenal. I know a lot of Manchester United fans and I said to them, ‘You got an absolute bargain there – £20million for a player of his calibre – he’s going to make your team much better’.
"He was brilliant at Arsenal. I do like him. He was one of those players who you would pay to watch.
most read in football
"It just hasn’t happened for him. I’d go to Real Madrid and I’d swap him for Gareth Bale. They’ll be on the same sort of wages.”
It is reported that Bale is earning a whopping £650,000-a-week at Los Blancos.
He will have three years left to run on his deal in Spain at the end of the campaign, during which he will earn a staggering £101.4m.

It goes all melty in the oven and tastes like something from the distant past, in a good way, not in an over-flavoured, chemically and unfortunate way. This pizza cheese comes ready grated and is delicious. I extended the taste testers beyond just our family, including those who still eat dairy cheeses, and the general consensus was that this vegan cheese ‘does not taste weird’, which is actually quite an accolade.
The same company do a range of sliced vegan cheeses in ten flavours: original, cheddar, peppers, hot peppers, olive oil, olives, tomato and basil, herbs, pizza and mushroom. They all share subtle flavouring from whole added ingredients and are very pleasant in a sandwich. Particular favourites in this house were mushroom, herb and pepper. Pictured below is the ‘original’ type paired with lettuce and onion.
I like the fact that the products contain no palm oil; they are also free from gluten and soya.
Available from Goodness Direct and some health food shops.
The wild garlic seems to be early this year 😀
recipes: creamy carrot and wild garlic soup and wild garlic pesto
There’s a new soya milk brand coming to Tesco mid January: Vive Soy. We were sent a sample of the Cappuccino flavour to try which Davie enjoyed heated up at work on a very snowy day. It was very sweet, containing both sugar and sweeteners. The unflavoured varieties do not contain sweeteners and the unsweetened type has no sugar at all 🙂
These quantities make a huge one! Blend up 3 boxes of Silken Tofu with a teaspoon of turmeric, 2 tablespoons of Gram Flour and Black Salt (Kala Namak) to taste. Preheat your oven to 200C/400F. Grease a baking dish and place it in the oven too (frittata will cook more quickly). Wash, slice and fry up a box of mushrooms and a chopped red pepper (we used yellow but red would look better) in a little olive oil. Add a tin of sweetcorn to the mix until well heated through. Mix it all together (in pan if big enough, or straight into heated dish) and bake for at least half an hour or until it seems set through. Muchly yum 🙂
This made a LOT of soup (serving at least 6), but quantity all depends on the size of the pumpkin.
flesh of one pumpkin
3 red peppers
water and soya milk to cook up in (does not have to cover veg, will be too runny)
handful of cashew nuts
seasalt and paprika to taste
Peel and de-seed the pumpkin and chop into chunks. Place in a pan with chopped peppers, carrots and liquids. Bring to boil and simmer until veg is tender. Add salt and paprika – I used about a teaspoon for a big pan but you could go hotter. Blend up with the cashews, check for seasoning and serve with paprika sprinkle.
Some of us sampled Redwood’s latest products. ‘Dear God,’ and ‘Magnificent,’ were among the exclamations heard.
The cheezly bubbled up during cooking which was exceptionally easy: remove packaging and cook for 10-12 minutes at 200C.
The gluten free among us had a magnificent – there’s that word again – salad of lettuce from garden, cuke, avo and red pepper dressed with hemp seed oil and lime juice. Oh, and this:
- Recipe: take 3 packs of moo free mini moos three packs and arrange like so, in sunshine or rain.
Our favourite was the bunny comb, the little pieces of crunchie-esque candy are delightful (side note: we have a recipe for crunchies here). The sultana ones were reminiscent of Cadbury’s fruit and nut (been a long time but we recall) and the originals are smooth, mild and gorgeous, as moo free chocolate always is.
Available from: Goodness Direct, Amazon.co.uk and many other places as detailed here
Also check out the competition on the moo free website to win chocolate goodies including those above 🙂 Closing date July 30th 2012.

The Ka-52 is assembled in the helicopter factory at Arsenyev, Primorsky Krai.The first batch of 3 Ka-52 attack helicopters was delivered to Egypt in July 2017, with a second batch of another 3 helicopters being delivered in August. Egypt's helicopter is a modified version of the basic Ka-52 Alligator that serves in the Russian Air Force.
The attack helicopter was first described publicly as the "Ka-50" in March 1992 at a symposium in the United Kingdom.
This resulted in a mere dozen Ka-50s delivered, instead of the planned several hundred to replace the Mil Mi-24.
The "windows" evidently worked, as the first western reports of the aircraft were wildly inaccurate, to the point of some analysts even concluding that its primary mission was as an air superiority aircraft for hunting and killing NATO attack helicopters.
The fourth operationally configured helicopter was taken on strength by the Russian Air Force on 10 February 2011.
Under the current State Defense Procurement Plan, Russian Armed Forces will receive 30 helicopters by 2012. Dmitry Petrov, general director of the holding company Russian Helicopters, stated that the manufacturer had signed a major contract with the Ministry of Defense.

From the Marc Quinn exhibition currently hosted by the Salzburg branch of Galerie Thaddeus Ropac.
It’s the last chance to view works by Marc Quinn at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Salzburg. “Material Dematerialize” is the artist’s first solo show at the gallery. It is a mix of painting and sculpture which focuses on the virtual and the real: where they overlap, where the lines blur and where the material dematerializes. All works in the show are exhibited publicly for the first time.
Marc Quinn, Mirage, at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac.
Several key works in “Materialize Dematerialize” emphasize its agenda. Mirage is simultaneously a veiled, crucified Jesus and a reference to both Francisco Goya’s “Disasters of War” and the picture of an Abu Ghraib prisoner which was leaked to a scandalized world last year. Gallery visitors vacillate between the two-dimensional viewing experience and the emotional impact which contemporary circumstances enforce on the piece. Quinn’s Eye pictures also convey the feeling as if they are coming in and out of focus. Eyes are both a person’s most individualizing feature and the most abstract; when enlarged, as in the painting We Share Our Chemistry With the Stars, they are almost unrecognizable as a physical component of the face.
Marc Quinn, We Share Our Chemistry With the Stars, at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac.
Marc Quinn, The Evolution of Desire, at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac.
Marc Quinn burst onto the arts scene with his 1997 exhibition “Sensation” at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, which featured a self-portrait painted entirely of the artist’s own blood. An additional self-portrait from Quinn’s eye series will be shown at Fondation Beyeler during Art Basel. Born in London, Quinn studied art history at Cambridge University. He has had solo exhibitions at the Tate Britain and Tate Liverpool; Fondazione Prada, Milan; Irish Museum of American Art, Dublin; and more. He has shown at Gwangju Biennale and the Venice Biennale, and his works are held permanently by, among other galleries, the British Museum; the Brooklyn Museum of Art; Centre Pompidou in Paris; New York’s Museum of Modern Art; the Saatchi Gallery London; and Tate Britain.

From the NY Post:
Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency across much of the New York City area Friday after torrential storms flooded the Big Apple’s subways and streets.
The order allows the state to swiftly provide resources locally in case rescues, evacuations, or other services are needed.
The downpours hit hardest across parts of Brooklyn with more than 3 inches of rain falling in a single hour, according to data from the state meteorological arm.
That’s triple the amount state officials said yesterday they expected the storms were expected to produce at their zenith.Advertisement
“I am declaring a State of Emergency across New York City, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley due to the extreme rainfall we’re seeing throughout the region,” said Hochul, in a post to Twitter, which is now formally known as ‘X’. “Please take steps to stay safe and remember to never attempt to travel on flooded roads.”

It is the summer ofbut events of the novel are not told in chronological order; sometimes time changes without warning.
Others find the novel irritatingly tedious and pessimistic and consider the character of Slocum seriously flawed, unlikable, and unheroic by any standard. The tactic works, but a young airman named Kraft is killed. They cannot be processed because the young officer — and thus his possessions — never officially arrived.
He packs and then he unpacks. In a few years you will be gone, too, and we will still be here. The mission must be canceled, at least for the time, because the Allies apparently have "captured" Bologna.

Attempting to bounce back from a second dislocation of his right hip, the 30-year-old Pitta apparently looked good at OTAs and minicamp. He was once a leading target for close friend Joe Flacco, but even if Pitta proves to be much the same as he once was, the Ravens have a ton of competition for snaps at tight end, with Ben Watson, Crockett Gillmore (shoulder) and Maxx Williams also in the mix. Pitta hasn't played in a game since September of 2014, and he will always be at added risk for suffering another severe hip injury, which would almost certainly spell the end of his career. He already considered retiring, but instead decided to give it one last shot after sitting out the entire 2015 season.
Pitta's return to practice after missing all of last season due to a serious hip injury is a step in the right direction for the veteran tight end, but OTAs are nowhere near as physical as what he'll be up against when the
Pitta hasn't played in an NFL game since Sept. 21, 2014 when he dislocated his right hip for the second time in two years. He'll be at additional risk of suffering the same injury a third time, but he's already acknowledged that he'll likely need a hip replacement at some point in his life, regardless of whether he keeps playing football. It will be interesting to see where Pitta fits in at OTAs and training camp, as he was the Ravens' top tight end from 2012 through the first few weeks of 2014. The team has since added 2014 third-rounder Crockett Gillmore, 2015 second-rounder Maxx Williams and recent free-agent acquisition Ben Watson. Given that Gillmore and Watson are both superior blockers, Pitta will likely just compete for a slot/move role on passing downs. The Ravens might consider trading either Gillmore or Williams.
Dennis Pitta , who missed all of the 2015 season while recovering from a fractured and dislocated hip, is reportedly eyeing a return to the field this coming season.
Pitta, who turns 31 in June, hasn't confirmed the report, but more should be known with regard to his situation once the Baltimore Ravens ' offseason program opens next week. If Pitta does indeed re-enter the mix, he'd join a fairly crowded Baltimore tight end corps that also includes newcomer Benjamin Watson, as well as Crockett Gillmore, Maxx Williams and perhaps converted wideout Darren Waller. In his last full season with the Ravens, Pitta caught 61 passes for 669 yards and seven TDs in 2012.
Dennis Pitta (hip) acknowledged that he has begun to think about life after football, but he also said that he still has a desire to play, the Baltimore Ravens ' official website reports.
Pitta missed the entire 2015 season after dislocating his left hip in both 2013 and 2014. He practiced for a few weeks in late October and early November, but doctors ultimately recommended that he sit out the entire season. If he were to resume his career, Pitta would be at increased risk of suffering additional hip injuries, which could lead to serious health problems later in life. Also, the Ravens no longer have need of a tight end, as second-year pro Crockett Gillmore and rookie Maxx Williams appear to have the team in good hands at the position. Pitta will give it another shot in a few months, but it won't be surprising if he ultimately shifts his focus to either coaching or a non-football career.

Olhuveli Beach And Spa Resort Maldives is a modern luxury resort with a great range of facilities. It is able to cater for all needs, regardless of the preferences of the guests, be it an active holiday with water sports and the 2 infinity pools, or a quiet and romantic honeymoon for the newlyweds.
With various activities, beautiful beaches, and above-average food, Olhuveli Beach & Spa Resort is a good value for money for the Maldives. 164 rooms range from a basic beach villa to high quality Water Villas, and an adjoining rooms for families. Those who are interested in a seaplane trip should also check Kuredu Island Resort, that has even more amenities and rooms with free wifi.
All accommodation on the island is especially picturesque, with an arrangement on the beach or completely over the water. Beautiful design shows beige tiled floor, simple wooden furniture, seats with colorful pillows and high ceilings with exposed beams. Many of the buildings on the island also have traditional straw roofs that remind guests where they are.
Most guests are couples, but families are also found thanks to the availability of family villas in the resort (technically two adjacent deluxe rooms), as well as services and activities for children.
A little less than a third of the numbers are occupied by British guests, but Olhuveli is mostly filled with a wide range of nationalities. Europeans (especially Britons, Germans and Russians) also prefer beachside rooms, while Asians (many of whom are on a honeymoon) almost always prefer to be over the water.
Thanks to good service the resort steadily retains its buoyancy. It is soft, straw, barefoot, a place where the landscape grows, and the facilities are smart and impressive. The billiard room and the gym have their own facilities, and ping-pong and darts are located next to the illuminated tennis and badminton courts. It is important to note, however, that even for “All inclusive” customers, most of the offers go for an additional fee.
Beaches, as descended from the pages of glossy magazines, warm lagoons with turquoise water and one of the best diving in the Maldives – all this about the South Male Atoll. South Male Atoll (South Kaafu) is a group of islands in the Maldives, which lies just south of the North Male Atoll and is separated from it by the Vaadhoo Kandu channel. Showing the best of the Maldives, South Male region offers everything you can need for a memorable and comfy holiday. The days here revolve around swimming, relaxation, water sports and snorkeling – and nothing more.
Olhuveli Beach is located on the private island in South Male Atoll. The resort can be reached by speedboat from Velana (Male) Airport. In some places a bumpy, 21 km sea transfer takes about 45 minutes. The island is half a mile long, from the tip to the tip there are 450 people who live and work at the northern end of the island all year round.
Most of the 164 Olhuveli’s rooms are Deluxe Rooms, Deluxe Water Villas, or Jacuzzi Water Villas. Starting from 50 sq.m. these spacious apartments include a minibar, free bottled water, electric kettles (with tea and coffee), bathrobes, flat-screen TVs, DVD players and a patio. Room facilities improve depending the rates: Deluxe rooms and Deluxe Water Villas have white walls and bedspreads, pretty attractive wooden furniture, bright sofas and accented pillows; Deluxe rooms also have four-poster beds. All accommodation is equipped with an open area overlooking the sea; Beach villas have their own piece of beach.RESERVE
There are 2 categories of Water Villas in the lagoon, and even more expensive rooms, the further they are from the bustling center of the island. 2 Presidential Water Suites proudly sit on the end of the pier near the southern end of the island. Together with them there are 5 Honeymoon Water Villas. The rest of the oval-shaped quay is formed by 32 Water Villas with a Jacuzzi. In the shape of a petal, the second jetty of water bungalows grows from the middle of the island towards the sunrise, with a collection of 21 Deluxe Water Villas.
Jacuzzi in the Jacuzzi Water Villas are baths with jets, but their position on the sun deck is simply excellent, especially for those villas who are on the west side. The sea views from the bedroom offer surveys of nearby sandbanks and distant islands. Inside, the rooms boast a marble floor, blue-gold upholstery, swag curtains and dark wood furniture. The elegant bathroom is equipped with two metal twins sinks.
Deluxe Water Villas is simpler and in fact more attractive rooms, especially with their canopy beds. The sun deck offers good privacy and is big enough for 2 soft sun loungers and chairs. The sea views are no less good, although on the one hand, the artificial “peninsula” and the sand bank are drifting, and the other side is looking at another pier of water villas. That is, expect some such pictures against the turquoise background, except for the numbers on the tip of the leaf (109-113), which have unobstructed ocean views.
The Grand Water Villa and Grand Water Villa with Pool are accessible via Olhuveli’s new Dream Island development, which opened in December 2018. This little island, which connects to the main island of Olhuveli by a walkway bridge, is home to an overwater spa, a buffet restaurant, an a la carte grill restaurant, a bar, a swimming pool and a conference centre.
The 80 sqm Grand Water Villa offers direct access to the lagoon via stairs and come with a chaise lounge for private sunbathing. These overwater villas have a private en-suite bathroom with rain shower and bath tub. Guests are treated to either lagoon or sea view, providing them with the perfect Maldives getaway experience.
The Grand Water Villa with Pool takes that experience to a new level. At 92 sqm, affordable luxury cannot get better than this; a room over water, private sundeck and your own private pool. Guests can access the lagoon via stairs directly from their room or choose to relax on a chaise lounge whilst taking in the breath-taking views of the lagoon or sea.
Restaurants and Bars
With a selection of the two buffet and three à la carte restaurants, Olhuveli offers more dining options than most of its competitors. The main resort’s dining place, Sunset restaurant offers an international buffet for breakfast and dinner. Guests can always update their meal plans to include dinner at sunset and a lunch buffet in the Malaafaiy restaurant. The à la carte menu’s options can also be ordered at three other restaurants: Siyam Orchid (Japanese, Indian and Thai cuisine), Namaste (Indian), and Maghrib Grill (grilled surf and turf, as well as veggies). Island Pizza is all the favorite spot near the Sunrise Pool. In general, I want to say that food in Olhuveli is above average.
The resort has four bars: Dhoni Bar (beach), Sunrise Bar (near the pool), Dream bar (Dream Island’s pool bar) and Lagoon Bar (connected to the Lagoon restaurant). All Inclusive packages include drinks, but they only apply to a list of cocktails and drinks in every bar and restaurant. You can also shell out the Emerald package to get a better variety of alcohol, plus unlimited flow of soft drinks, six daily cocktails, and two bottles of wine (for two per day). The package also includes discounts for spa treatments, excursions, snorkelling gear, free Wi-Fi, daily afternoon tea, and at à la carte restaurants’ deals.
The island does not have much to do after sunset, but the Lagoon bar offers music and entertainment programs a some nights a week. We recommend to visit the “white party” in marriage with a smoke machine, a DJ and a laser show.
The water sports center is very active, flexible and full equipped with new facilities (including kite surfing and surfing), the resort also has many sport offerings, plus a good choice of adventures. Safaris with dolphins, snorkeling and fishing, diving and an islands hopping are just some of the day trips. But in general, the resort can be called calm and private. Most nights in Lagoon Bar take place some nightlife. There is a children’s club and babysitting, but kids are not allowed to stay in Water Villas, and in truth it’s not a family friendly resort.
The lagoon is good for water sports, being large, fairly shallow and with a sandy bottom. At low tide the water is knee-deep, but there are large canals dug, that remain good for swimming. Snorkeling is on both sides of the main jetty for a total of about 500 meters. The house reef can not boast of coral gardens, but a fish life is beautiful. There are sharks, rays and turtles. In the resort’s menu activities there is also a weekly snorkeling safari for 3 excellent reefs of South Male Atoll. For those who do not like swimming with a mask and snorkel, a daily fish feeding provides ample chance for a close acquaintance with marine life. Room service is available 24 hours.
Olhuveli has a decent Sun Spa with eight treatment rooms in the open air. Built almost entirely above the water, all the buildings of the spa are connected to each other by wooden footbridges. The spa is built in Chinese style, but the masseuses are from Indonesia, Thailand and India. The spa offers everything from massages for two to facials, and includes a beauty salon, a sauna, a steam bath and hydromassage pools. Ayurvedic techniques while encompassing the five elements. The prices are approximately average for the Maldives.Maldives.

Baked chicken tacos are an easy taco recipe perfect for a busy weeknight! Rotisserie chicken in an enchilada sauce, then baked until crispy with lots of cheese.
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
8-9 flour tortillas
1/3 cup tomato paste
1 and 1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Shredded sharp Cheddar cheese and pepper jack cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a medium pan over medium heat add the 1/3 cup of tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Then add in the 1 and 1/4 cup chicken broth and stir to combine, then add the 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon each of oregano, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Simmer for 8-10 minutes to thicken, then add the shredded chicken and stir to combine.
2. As the sauce simmers, prepare your muffin tins for baking. Flip upside down and spray with cooking spray (see photos above) Place this muffin tin on a baking sheet in case cheese or juices bake out.
3. Place the tortillas in the grooves of the muffin tin so they stand up straight (see photos above). Fill each tortilla with the chicken and enchilada sauce, then top with as much of the cheeses as you’d like. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool before eating these come out piping hot!! Top with any additional taco toppings you want, and serve with crema or sour cream.
These come out of the oven very hot. Allow to cool before biting into them. If you only have one muffin tin, you can bake these in batches. I can fit 5 tacos per muffin tin.
Muffin pans should be placed on a baking sheet so that any sauce or cheese bakes onto the sheet and doesn’t fall onto the oven floor.

Ultra-compact implantable image sensor using body channel communication
An ultra-compact implantable image sensor using body channel communication has been demonstrated in Japan. The body channel approach allows the sensor-transmitter device to be much smaller and use less power than an RF wireless unit.
Interest in implantable medical sensors is on the rise as developments in established technologies and new concepts are making more and more applications feasible. One thing that all such sensors share is the need to be able to get the information they gather within the body, out of the body.
RF communication is widely used for such applications, however, with implantable devices size reduction is generally desirable to reduce invasiveness, and in some applications there are also specific size limitations, owing to where and how the sensors are to be implanted. For example, sensors intended for use inside the brain need to be very compact.
Using smaller antennas generally means using higher frequencies, and that in turn leads to attenuation problems with biological tissues. To compensate for increased attenuation more power is needed, which is also a serious issue for an implantable device.
An alternative wireless approach to sending the data is body channel communication, in which an electrical signal is transmitted by conduction through the tissues of the body. In this issue of Electronics Letters, researchers from the Nara Institute of Science and Technology's Graduate School of Materials Science report using this approach to transmit and receive image data from a CMOS sensor fully implanted in a simulated body environment.
Their sensor design, using body channel as the transmission method, will allow data to be read from the device by attaching an electrode to the surface of the body near the implantation site, as well as allowing the sensor unit itself to be low-power and small.
"Our implantable CMOS image sensor is intended for biomedical applications such as brain functional imaging," explains team member Hajime Hayami. "It can be planted with minimum invasiveness. Its features enable implantation of a number of sensors in a brain to investigate collaborative neural activities."
In their experiments, the team at Nara have transmitted images from a CMOS sensor submerged in phosphate buffer saline (PBS), a body simulant material, to a receiver electrode 2 mm away. The experiments prove the principle of operation for this form of communication and even this small distance is enough to allow in vivo use in smaller animals.
"We are planning to apply our device to brain functional imaging of a mouse brain in the near future. Because the size of a mouse brain is only a few mm thick, the transmission distance of 2 mm is sufficient. Even in the case of signal transmission through a longer distance with a larger animal, the experimental results indicate that this method can be applied by adjusting the sensitivity of the receiver circuit," said Hayami.
Before the team can proceed with implantation in an animal, they need to integrate all of their PCB based devices into a single chip. This chip has already been designed and they are now working on the fabrication, with the goal of beginning implantation experiments by the end of 2014.
Meanwhile, the Nara researchers have also been working to develop the design and say that relatively long distance transmission is now possible through improvements to the receiver circuit. On the sensor/transmitter side, they have also shown that they can use pulse-width modulation rather than an ADC output from the image sensor.
The central goal of their work is creating tools for research into the human brain. "Our research group aims to elucidate the cooperative neural activity with distributed ultra-small sensors in the brain. We think we can achieve the goal by designing more intelligent chips based on the proposed communication method," said Hayami.
The team believe that current sociological trends, including aging societies, will continue to drive demand for implantable devices, and that the applications of this kind of technology may develop to include more natural interaction between users and technology. Hayami commented that "I hope we will create an epoch where one can unconsciously use implantable devices by developing a brain-machine interface."

text: About: I'm a single full time working mom, food enthusiast, and recipe day-dreamer! This is a very tedious and time consuming process. If the piece you peeled is too big, you can just peel that piece more. This is a great way to cook the food evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked and retains moisture, without overcooking the outside. The fish will settle into the rice and the avacado will smooth it all out. Put two strips of cucumber above the crab mix line. I ended up using 2 strips of tuna, 2 strips of Sea Bass, and 1 strip of salmon to cover my roll. Start with a small amount of pressure at … ‘Fluff’the rice while you’re spreading it. You should hear a pop once the blade hits the inner cavity. If you don’t have a sous vide cooker, you can cook the prawns in the traditional manner. You may need to moisten the blade again if it begins to drag. Position your knife at a twenty to thirty degree angle at one end of the yellowtail filet. Having everyone help will cut down the prep time considerably and the conversation makes it more enjoyable. Cover the roll once more with clingfilm, and again use the mat to firm up the contents. Start filling your roll by adding 3-4 strands of cucumber to the center across the entire roll. Neatly arrange your slices in a diagonal fashion on the board. The Rainbow sushi roll is more about visual delight and creativity plays an important role here. Remove the cooking bag from the sous vide cooker using a pair of metal tongs. I always sharpen my knives right before I cut my fish. You can accomplish this by gently pressing down and squeezing both sides of the roll at the same time. A glass of wine (or some sake!) Next, remove the head from each prawn by simply snapping it back, away from the body. **Eating raw fish has health concerns. Add masago roe and 2 or 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Slightly dampen your hands and sprinkle about 1/3-1/2 cup of rice on the nori sheet. To make sure the temperature stays the same, it’s best to use a dedicated sous vide cooker. Hold the prawn between your thumb and forefinger, then use the tip of your blade to make a vertical incision along the length of the prawn. Serve the sushi on a traditional wooden sushi presentation board. An appetizing sushi roll that marries the complex flavors of yellowtail jack fish, yellowfin tuna and salmon, with sous-vide cooked ‘butterfly’ prawns and avocado. Repeat this with the third type of fish and continue laying down fish in the pattern. I encourage you to have a "Sushi Night" of your own and to vote for this Instructable in the Slow Food and Rainbow contests!! The prawns are cooked ‘sous vide’ (French for ‘under vacuum’). Rainbow roll is quite similar to California roll, with the addition of tuna, salmon and avocado. For ease of rolling, leave approximately half an inch of space open from the edge of the sheet. Make sure to be gentle as the nori is rather brittle. You should make about 8-10 rolls out of all the ingredients. Cut the bag open and gently take out the prawns. Work the spoon around the entire avocado and pop out the flesh. Who doesn't like variety?!? Do not pre-slice the avacados. Rainbow Rolls are one of the most popular sushi rolls available. Serve the sushi roll on a beautiful traditional sushi dinnerware set. Pour your rice into a large bowl and generously cover with water. Make sure not to cut too deeply, you don't want the seeds. Once boiling, cover and reduce the heat to the lowest setting and allow the rice to simmer for 15 minutes. Roll the mat a bit further and again firm up the roll. Flip the nori sheet over and add the filling. Place the sushi mat over the roll and apply even pressure over the top and sides to adhere the fish to the rice and shape the roll. Holding the avacado in your hand, carefully cut 2 slices and place them on top of the crab. Swirl the rice around in the bowl and then drain off the milky water. Take a spoon and carefully slide it between the skin and the flesh. You want thin slices you can julienne. Make sure the sea food is adequately coated with mayonnaise. But I think it’s worth the purchase. Put 5 or 6 large prawns in a plastic sous vide cooking bag. Every roll makes 8 little pieces, each of which has a unique flavor combination. Raw sushi has a shelf life of about 3 days max so prepare to eat it all or throw it out! Once you get a feel for it, you will know just how much pressure you need to use. Roll the mat over the contents. Cut each of the 4 sections in half once again resulting in 8, equal sized pieces. Start with the heel of your knife and gently cut through the roll in one fluid motion. Japanese rainbow roll is another type of sushi called makizushi. Mix the ingredients using a wooden spoon or spatula. Once that first piece hits your mouth you will know it was all worth it! Cut a small slice of avacado and place it between the first two pieces of fish by lifting up the slice to the right slightly and slipping the avacado in. Serve with soy sauce and make sure to ENJOY! Start with a slice of yellowtail and work your way to the center. Use a fork to create a thick line of crab mix along the length of the nori sheet closest to you. Take each slice and julienne it (cut it into small strips.) fill in your name and email below and you will be notified when new sushi video recipes come out. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Do the same with the yellowfin filet.
