I am looking at purchasing my first 3D printer and want to know what some of you more experienced users think.
I am a lover of technology, so I have been fascinated with 3D printing for some time, but only in the last 2-3 weeks have I seriously considered buying one, but the more I read, the more I hear of common issues and worries, so I though I'd lay my intentions out there and hopefully I'll get some honest feedback as to whether it's worth me taking the plunge.
I'm an experienced 3D Animator, and have a decent amount of experience in 3D modelling. I have no CAD experience, but have watched hours of AutoCad/ Inventor videos and I can see the similarities and differences between modelling for Games/TV and designing products in CAD programmes. So I imagine there'll certainly be a lot of learning to get my CAD skills up to scratch, but I'm not coming from a position of no experience.
I have already set up a company and have a URL (no website yet). Before any alarm bells are going off. I feel I have a good understanding of the limitations of 3D printing and I am not expecting this printer will instantly make me a millionaire, it'll be more of a hobby than anything...The main reason I'm running this as a business is that I have no way of funding the purchase of a printer, and when I set up my own small company in the past (I'm self employed/freelance), I was given a £3k overdraft which helped cover setup costs. So I do intend to try and make every effort to at least get back up to £0.00.
I'm hoping to get the Ultimaker 2. I like the idea of getting the kit*, as I see the value of learning the technology, but I worry that I'm going to make it incorrectly in some way and I'll have a £1800 printer that prints like its £300. Any advice on this would be welcomed!
*(does the UM come as a kit, or is that just original?)
The first 6 months or so is aimed at me learning the technology and it's limitations. I've read lots of stuff about the practicality and the limitations of 3D printing, but it's only when you try something yourself, do you really understand, I guess?
After that, I aim to try and make small runs of small products for sale through an online store. I appreciate that this machine will not print off perfect quality items for sale in massive numbers, but I will look at creating 4-5 different items, that I will finish by hand (I have a list of about 30, that I will whittle down once I have some hands on experience with which items will work best).
My thoughts are that I need to print off items that use a small amount of material, would normally have a high retail cost for it's size and preferably items where perfect precision is not necessary, as the finishing would require sanding away a certain amount of detail. I've seen some very nice finishes given to 3D printed products, and for small runs, I am not hoping for great financial gains from this, as it is clear that 3D Printing and hand finishing will mean I'll be limited to what I can print and in what quantities.... but Maybe I'll kickstarter a few little items and I might make a few hundred quid here and there... or maybe not.
In the long run, I see this as a piece of kit that will enable me to get valuable experience in the design and creation of projects, that will eventually lead to the machine being used for prototyping products for mass production using injection moulding (outsourced). Again, using Kickstarter, I hope to fund the run of items in the mid hundreds (and up?). Funding it this way, will mean I already know my costs for tooling, based on an accurate prototype, can set my prices, do the maths and if it's not funded, then I just don't make it.....no huge losses (just a loss of time and effort).... Maybe I'll never design a project that gets funded, but my costs for trying will be low at least (let me know if you think my logic is flawed).
So I just wanted to know if my intentions and expectations were reasonable. I have already read a lot of stories about people thinking that 3D printing will make them a fortune, and I'm certainly not in that camp, but I see it's potential in prototyping a product that could make money.... but to be completely honest, if it takes me 4 years, and I manage to pay off the price of the printer, and I've learned a new hobby and had fun, then I'm cool with that too.
Now please feel free to tear into me, ha ha.,

Deepthi rated it "it was amazing"
Let me tell you an anecdote. Two years ago, on a certain sunny day, I was walking home after my classes. I was missing home but wasn’t sad nor was I feeling any sense of loneliness; I was quite happy that day. I was listening to Thais from Meditation Act II, a composition of Jules Massenet and my mind was quite at peace. The day seemed quite ordinary; nothing spectacular was happening anywhere within my sight. But then, suddenly, out of nowhere, something overwhelming happened to me. I have a habit of looking at the clouds and the leaves of the tall trees dancing against the sky while I am walking. At this moment I was doing the same, and saw a bird fly across the sky. I am not sure which bird it was, maybe a falcon, but seeing it repeatedly soaring in circles, noticing the beautiful soft arc of its wings, moved something inside me. Maybe it was the music, or the summer leaves, but at that instance they all seemed to be merging and becoming one with the flight of that strange bird. It was almost as if I was a part of something mystic and surreal and I felt I was a part of that mysterious amalgamation too. I do not know how to explain this, but I felt one with everything that was around me and as if everything that I was seeing was happening inside me at the same time as it was happening outside of me. At this moment, my eyes welled up with tears and the tears started flowing down in streams. These tears while dripping from my chin brought me back to my senses. I have never felt so euphoric in my life and I certainly doubt if I ever will again. Those few seconds, which almost felt like had soaked up hours of that day, changed everything for me. I don’t know what that was but it was definitely something divine. I never felt anything near to that feeling again, until now at least, but I always long for it. And everytime I read Rumi, he reminds me of that feeling that passed away so soon and digs up those strong emotions which were left buried deep inside my senses. Everytime I read his poems, I experience something close to those magical emotions as he always manages to stir them from within; from my soul.
There’s a strange frenzy in my head,
of birds flying,
each particle circulating on its own.
Is the one I love everywhere?
It has been more than three years since my first introduction to Rumi. I started with The Essential Rumi, a great complication and translation of his best poems. I picked up this book to pass my time during one of my insomniac nights, which happened to be tonight. I read every poem; some in a rush and some a word at a time. Rumi is like a wise teacher and a friend who sits next to you, wraps you in his arms and recites in soft whispers the deepest secrets of his mystic world against your ear. He talks only about love and there never seem to be any variations of it. It is always about the love that revolves around us, is within us, and flows in and out like a stream finding its way to its river, and the river to its sea but there is no way of knowing which is which; just as water is water, love is love.
You’ve so distracted me,
your absence fans my love.
Don’t ask how.
Then you come near.
“Do not…,” I say, and
“Do not…,” you answer.
Don’t ask why that delights me.
* * *
In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest
where no one sees you,
but sometime I do,
and that sight becomes this art.
He talks in stories, at times in riddles about various human emotions but ends them with the divine love which he experiences and urges us to experience them with him. He talks about the soul and heart; the insides of the insides. For him, everything in this world is futile except that. He understands human heart but doesn’t want to understand anything apart from the spiritual bliss with which he is always drunk. He talks about wine and taverns, the bliss of being in intoxication and teaches you that that is how it feels like to be in love, only while being sober. Choose your jar of wine wisely. According it him, everything is a state of mind. You become your obsession; hence obsess over something that would last. The love we experience for anything in this world doesn’t last and only is a result of a deep sadness that it births from or arrives when this love dies. Hence, he says, take pleasure in that undying bliss which is inside you. Look within, he says, and find yourself and dance with that self of yours like a madman in joy. For Rumi, the heart is a hidden casket filled with secrets, all you need to do is dig deep and find that trunk for which the key is You. The God that you pray to or the divinity you search for is in everything that surrounds you and is manifested inside you. There are many forms of kneeling and kissing the ground, he says; any path you choose will lead to the same destination, only some will take longer than the others. His love is not religious, and he refuses to belong to anyone. Everything is about the soul and the one within that soul; the ears of the ear, the eyes of the eye, and the life of the life. In his world, all the dualities of our world cease to exist. Only the One remains.
You that come to birth and bring the mysteries,
your voice-thunder makes us very happy.
Roar, lion of the heart,
and tear me open!
* * *
You are an ocean in a drop of dew,
all the universes in a thin sack
of blood! What are these pleasures
then, these joys, these worlds,
that you keep reaching for, hoping
they will make you more alive?
There is so much more that has been said yet still remains to be said about this soulful poet. I have deeply been in love with Rumi since the day I read my first poem of his. This 800 years old friend of mine has always managed to speak to me in the toughest of times. He has taught me that I am more than my restrictions; personal and societal. That I am more than my body, fears, joys and sorrows. That I am more than anything I could imagine being. Everything is within me and I am within everything. You are invincible, he says. You are divine, he says. You are magic, he says. If you can understand Rumi as himself, you will also fall in love with him. If you don’t, well then you don’t.
Poems are the rough notations for the music we are.

Elevation: 7,600 feet
Vertical: 2,600 feet
Snowfall: 300 inches
Info: 800-728-2695; montanasnowbowl.com
Beta: Sitting at the dead end of a gnarly, nine-mile dirt road, all you see when you get to the 'Bowl are two muddy parking lots, two modest lodges, and an ancient double chair. First impression: Po-dunk. Well, get over it. The 'Bowl is as big as Taos—and gets more snow. And because it's a half hour from Missoula, there are tons of rippers.
First Tracks: If you're in line for an early chair midweek on a powder day, start with Grizzly Chute, under the Grizzly Chair. Traverse skier's right before descending to counter the double fall line at the top of this 2,000-vertical-foot shot. After that, ride both lifts to the top and head for the East Bowl.
Must-Hit: So as not to waste a scrap of the 'Bowl's 2,600vertical, ski past the patrol shack to the West Ridge. Skier's left of the ridge, you'll find West Bowl's open, 40-degree terrain with surfy features; to skier's right you get the sheltered snow of West Trees (a.k.a. The Windows).
Après: The Last Run Inn, the 'Bowl's only bar, is usually crammed with college kids from the University of Montana, bearded local skiers, and the occasional meth-addled Rush fan willing to huck off the roof. Our recommendation: one of their specialty wood-fired pizzas and a pint of locally brewed Moose Drool. Tired of the sausage fest? Head to Fred's Lounge (Hwy. 96 & I-90 junction). I've never been there, but they tell me it's nice.
The Tip: When it dumps big—which is good—the guard-rail-less and corkscrewing road to the 'Bowl can be…bad. Snow tires are a must, and you'll want to keep it in second gear for the majority of the descent.

Sciatica Pain Treatment
If your on the look out for an effective Sciatica Pain Treatment, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression at DC Physiotherapy Dublin could be your answer.
Living with sciatica pain can be debilitating. Whether it’s a sharp, shooting pain down your leg or a constant ache in your lower back, finding effective treatment is crucial for reclaiming your quality of life.
While surgery might seem like the only option for severe cases, there’s a non-invasive alternative gaining traction: non-surgical spinal decompression therapy.
In this blog post, we’ll explore how this innovative treatment, offered at DC Physiotherapy Dublin, can alleviate conditions like low back and neck pain, as well as sciatica.
Understanding Sciatica Pain:
Before diving into treatment options, it’s essential to understand what sciatica is. Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. It’s typically caused by a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine, or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis), leading to compression of the nerve roots.
Traditional Treatments vs. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression:
Traditional treatments for sciatica often include pain medications, physiotherapy , corticosteroid injections, and in severe cases, surgery. While these methods can provide relief for some, they may not address the root cause of the pain and can come with risks and side effects.
Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy offers a different approach.
This non-invasive treatment aims to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves by gently stretching the spine.
By creating negative pressure within the disc, spinal decompression can promote the retraction or repositioning of herniated or bulging discs, relieving compression on the affected nerves and reducing inflammation.
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a Sciatica Pain Treatment:
At DC Physiotherapy Dublin, non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is performed using a specialized table controlled by a computerized system.
During the treatment, you’ll lie comfortably on the table while the device applies a precise amount of traction to your spine. This traction gently elongates the spine, creating space between the vertebrae and reducing pressure on the affected discs and nerves.
The Benefits of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression:
Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy offers several benefits for individuals suffering from sciatica and other spinal conditions, including:
- Pain Relief: By decompressing the spine and reducing pressure on the nerves, spinal decompression therapy can alleviate sciatica pain and discomfort.
- Improved Mobility: Many patients experience increased flexibility and range of motion following spinal decompression treatment, allowing them to perform daily activities with greater ease.
- Non-Invasive: Unlike surgery, spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive procedure that does not require incisions or anesthesia, reducing the risk of complications and downtime.
- Customized Treatment: Each session of spinal decompression therapy can be tailored to your specific needs, ensuring optimal results and comfort throughout the treatment process.
If you’re struggling with sciatica pain or other spinal conditions, non-surgical spinal decompression therapy at DC Physiotherapy Dublin could provide the relief you’ve been searching for.
By addressing the underlying cause of your pain and promoting natural healing, spinal decompression offers a safe, effective alternative to traditional treatments.
Don’t let sciatica pain hold you back any longer – schedule a consultation today and take the first step toward a pain-free future.

On July 25, 2003, President George W. Bush signed Executive Order 12994 changing the name of the President's Committee on Mental Retardation to the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities. Madeleine Will, Chair of the President's Committee guided the change in the name of the Committee.
In June 2006, the membership of the American Association on Mental Retardation voted to change the name of the organization to the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Val Bradley, President of AAMR, stated that she could not predict what implications the new name might have on policies regarding intellectual disabilities. Many government policies, including those that determine eligibility for services and even the death penalty, rely on the AAMR definition of mental retardation.

STD's rife in Pilbara
Rates of sexually transmitted infections in the Pilbara, Kimberley and Goldfields are up to 115 times higher than in Perth, new statistics reveal.
The rate of gonorrhoea in the Pilbara is nine times the WA rate and 13 times the national rate, while chlamydia rates are twice as high as the rest of the State and three times the national rate.
WA Country Health Pilbara public health physician Dr Heather Lyttle said the figures were disturbing and screening was a necessary tool in prevention.
“Even if people have unprotected sex and they have no symptoms, it’s still a good idea for them to have a screening,” she said.
“These days it’s a very simple urine test for gonorrhoea and chlamydia and they can find out the answer very quickly – within a week – and treatment is very straightforward as well.”
Dr Lyttle said rates of chlamydia and gonorrhoea had always been higher in the Pilbara compared with the rest of the State.
“The only thing that’s changed over time is that our rates of chlamydia have gradually increased,” she said.
“Because we have such high incidence we have to keep reminding our doctors to look for STIs,” she said.
A systematic screening for STIs is available in Hedland via the hospital emergency department.
“Although they might be fronting up to the emergency department for something else they can have that done at the same time,” Dr Lyttle said.

That shit happened to me the other night too delayed by hours and my tracker broke for the night.
I've had a few hick-ups for a few days now, but nothing persistent and have gotten all achievements.
It could be to do with Microsoft preparing the new fancy achievement system we should be getting later on this year which includes the avatar rewards and stuff
I've had that happen to me with watchdogs 2. Hard reset and everything. Played another game for a few hours and it randomly unlocked
I have one from Sixty Second Shooter Prime that apparently unlocked but never popped or anything and it's still saying now I have 50G even though I don't

Two justice court judges pass state competency exam
Published 11:41 am Friday, December 23, 2011
Two Warren County Justice Court judges have passed the mandatory judicial competency exam, the Mississippi Judicial College announced Wednesday.
Central District Judge James Jefferson Jr. and Southern District Judge Jeff Crevitt were among the 45 judges statewide who completed an 80-hour instructional course Dec. 5 to 16 in Jackson and then took the six-hour, 240-question Minimum Competency Exam given at the college.
The exam included sections on civil law, criminal law and ethics, with questions covering various matters that come before Justice Court judges. A passing score required answering 70 percent of the questions correctly.
Email newsletter signup
The exam and training were primarily for newly elected judges or those appointed since 2008.
Mississippi law does not require Justice Court judges to be attorneys, but the Legislature has passed measures since 2007 to increase training requirements.
Crevitt was appointed to the bench in 2009 to fill a vacancy created by the death of his father, Joe Crevitt, a 12-year veteran. He is a former Warren County deputy and was elected to the bench in 2009.
Jefferson, appointed in 2009 to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Richard Bradford III, and then elected to the post in 2010, is a funeral home director.
Northern District Judge Edwin Woods, an attorney, was elected in 2003.
Mississippi has 82 Justice Courts with 197 Justice Court judges. Justice Courts have jurisdiction over small claims civil cases, misdemeanor criminal cases and any traffic offense that occurs outside a municipality. Justice Court judges may conduct bond hearings and preliminary hearings in felony criminal cases and may issue search warrants and arrest warrants.

Bethesda is known for delivering some truly remarkable RPGs. While known for The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, their next game is actually a brand new IP. Starfield has recently been in so many headlines as we approach its release date. But that hasn’t stopped some fans from wondering what is around the corner after Starfield. We know that Bethesda is bringing out the next The Elder Scrolls video game. However, details about what The Elder Scrolls 6 will bring are being kept secret.
We knew The Elder Scrolls 6 was being worked on after Starfield. This game was announced several years ago at this point. Bethesda took to the public and revealed their next set of games being developed. The first of which is the upcoming Starfield, a game that is nearly here. Meanwhile, after this game launches into the marketplace and likely well after post-launch content is settled, the developers are going to return and bring out The Elder Scrolls 6. While details are incredibly scarce right now, Todd Howard did make a comment about the game.
GQ recently had an interview with Todd Howard, where most of the content was based around Starfield. But that publication did provide us with just a snippet of information for the next The Elder Scrolls. The publication asked Todd if he regretted announcing the game when they did. Admittedly, Todd noted that he probably wouldn’t announced it more casually. However, there is already some work put into the project. We know it has a codename that Todd is not revealing just yet. But most importantly, it’s a game that will continue to push the fantasy element for players.
According to Todd, while he can’t say much, he did note that the development team is trying to fill the role of bringing the ultimate fantasy-world simulator. Apparently, there are different ways to accomplish this. However, that’s all the famed game director would offer at this point. With The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim first released back in 2011, the wait for this next major installment has been a long one.
It’s like… I don’t want to answer, but I want to be polite. I will say that we want it to fill that role of the ultimate fantasy-world simulator. And there are different ways to accomplish that given the time that has passed.Todd Howard – GQ
At any rate, you will get to enjoy the next major RPG from the Bethesda team this coming month. Currently, Starfield is set to launch on September 6, 2023. When the game is released into the marketplace, you’ll be able to get the game on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.

HHS Proposes Rules to Strengthen Patient-Provider HIPAA Privacy in Reproductive Care
Bolstering the HIPAA Privacy Rule: Rulemaking from the Department's Enforcement Agency, HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR)
Our compliance team wants to help you save time in figuring out your requirements as a health organization, covered entity, or business associate. Here are the crucial ideas summarized, so you don't miss them in the agency's writing style.
Proposed Measures to Strengthen the HIPAA Privacy Rule
The Focus? HHS issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to strengthen HIPAA Privacy Rule protections.
The Goal? To prevent the use or disclosure of PHI to investigate or prosecute patients and providers involved in reproductive health care. HHS responded to thousands of patients, providers, and organizations who expressed a need for change to protect patient-provider confidentiality.
The Prediction? Our team forecasts an increase in HIPAA violations due to the lack of implemented privacy protections to adequately safeguard PHI from being disclosed or used to identify, investigate, sue, or prosecute someone for seeking, obtaining, providing, or facilitating lawful reproductive health care.
Our Recommendation? Keep raising awareness to prevent unauthorized access. Specifically, to avoid private medical records from being used against anyone seeking, acquiring, providing, or facilitating reproductive health care services.
Greater Focus on Protecting a Patient's Health Information and Privacy
The Importance? Protecting sensitive information related to reproductive health care services has become critical after the Dobbs Decision by the Supreme Court.
The White House issued Executive Order 14076, which directs HHS to consider ways to strengthen the protection of sensitive information regarding patient confidentiality for services identified as reproductive health care.
The Proposed Rule
The Change? The NPRM proposes to extend additional privacy protections for providers, insurers, patients, and others to safeguard PHI when that information would be disclosed or used to identify, investigate, sue, or prosecute someone for seeking, obtaining, providing, or facilitating lawful reproductive health care.
Reproductive health care would be defined to include, but not be limited to:
- prenatal care.
- miscarriage management.
- infertility treatment.
- contraception use.
- treatment for reproductive-related conditions such as ovarian cancer.
The HIPAA Privacy Rule (Current Status)
The Current Status? While the Department is undertaking this rulemaking, the current Privacy Rule remains in effect.
The existing Privacy Rule permits certain disclosures to law enforcement and others, subject to specific conditions.
Expect an Enforcement Increase
OCR is committed to enforcing the HIPAA Rules that protect the privacy and security of people's health information.
Regarding health information privacy or civil rights violations, HHS encourages patients nationwide to file complaints at the OCR: https://www.hhs.gov/ocr/complaints/index.html
Summary and More Information about HHS Proposed Measures
Since this is a developing issue, our compliance advisors will monitor the rulemaking process.
- The NPRM itself: You can view and download NPRM at the Federal Register here (https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/current)
- An NPRM fact sheet: Available in English here (https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/regulatory-initiatives/hipaa-reproductive-health-fact-sheet/index.html)
- FYI, Public comments on the NPRM are due at least before June 10th, 2023 (i.e., "60 days after publication of the NPRM in the Federal Register" - HHS)

Juvenile with gunshot wound found dead in front of house in Natchitoches; suspect arrested
NATCHITOCHES, La. (KSLA) - The Natchitoches Police Department is investigating after a juvenile was found with a gunshot wound lying in front of a house.
Police say it happened early Thursday morning (Sept. 9) on Highland Park Drive. Around 6:15 a.m., police were called out to the 1200 block of Highland Park Drive about someone lying in front of a house. When they got there, they found a juvenile suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim was pronounced dead on the scene, police say.
NPD later received a tip about a juvenile that said he was on Highland Park Drive when the shooting took place. Detectives discovered the juvenile was in the Payne Subdivision and were able to locate the individual with assistance from the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office.
The juvenile was brought to the Natchitoches Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division and was later arrested. The suspect was charged with second-degree murder and was placed in the Ware Youth Center.

Welcome to the Republic of Uupis (pronounced oo-zhoo-piece.) Among the 41 articles of its constitution are Number 3, Everyone has the right to die, but this this is not an obligation; Number 15, Everyone has the right to be in doubt, but this is not an obligation, and best of all; Number 21 (from the original Lithuanian): Everyone has the right to realize their own negligibility and magnificence. It concludes with an oddly inspiring triumvirate, Numbers 39–41: Do not defeat. Do not fight back. Do not surrender.
This enlightened republic is, in fact, a neighborhood located within the city of Vilnius, capital of Lithuania. Uupis declared itself an independent entity in 1998, with its own flag, passport stamp, coat of arms, and that freewheeling constitution. It is separated from the Old Town by the Vilnia River, as per the poetic first article: Everyone has the right to live by the River Vilnelė, and the River Vilnelė has the right to flow by everyone.
Uupis (the name means “beyond the other side of the river”) is a centuries-old part of a city that is itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site; Napoleon called Vilnius “Jerusalem of the North.” The area had a large Jewish population, until most of its residents were killed in the Holocaust. After a period of neglect, it again began to draw appreciation for the beauty of its winding streets, and has been substantially redeveloped in recent decades. And then, at the end of the 20th century, along came this absurdist republic, its utopian zeal leavened by an Eastern European sense of irony and resignation. The world doesn’t really change, it seems to say, but we are going to make the most of it. Jonas Mekas, the avant-garde gadabout and prominent Lithuanian, was, not surprisingly, one of its founding ambassadors.
Uupis is also the name of a band led by American drummer and vibraphonist Kenny Wollesen, who found inspiration in the place. The band was planning to come together in order to play the Vilnius Jazz Festival, one of the best in Europe, in October, but the pandemic prevented the group from uniting there. The longtime artistic director, Antanas Gustys, found a creative solution. Wollesen remembers,
He said, ‘Listen, we’ll pay you to go into a really good studio and record, so that it has great sound.’ We went to a studio and recorded like it was a gig, and it has a real live spirit to it. That gave us the material for our record. We also filmed some stuff in the studio. Everybody in the group knows how to make little movies. So we put all these films together and chopped it up. And it was cut together as this movie that was about an hour long. The finished piece was presented at the festival in a theater. It helps that everything isn’t totally shut down over there, and you can still go to a theater in kind of a normal way. So this wasn’t just a livestream or some kind of cell phone camera thing.
(This echoed the observation that Olivier Conan, owner of Barbès, said to me recently: that for the presentation of live music to work remotely, the visual side has to be a true creative complement to the aural one. Otherwise, it’s an uninspiring mismatch.)
Wollesen seems to embody the Uupian character in his openness to artistic expression as a part of everyday life. One of his many projects is serving as leader of the marching band Kenny Wollesen & The Himalayas,
I wanted to have a marching band where anybody could play. There’s no audition and nothing you have to learn. You can just show up and play. There’s a lot of diversity in the sound and in people’s abilities. I really love that. I think it’s great because surprising things happen. Sometimes it’s like nobody really knows what is going on, there’s a lot of confusion and people play the wrong notes or whatever. And then there’s always a moment where it all kind of coalesces, and everybody’s on the same page. You feel it happening all around you.
He recently played on behalf of Laurie Anderson’s RuckUS in a voter participation event with the group, marching from the New York Public Library down to Washington Square Park,
It’s interesting to see how people react to this weird marching band. You play for people that would never come to see you in any other circumstance. And you see how music affects everyone. A lot of friendly smiles, people clapping and hanging out. Then a lot of times people do become part of the band. It’s just a random gathering of people at a certain juncture of time, and for that moment it becomes like a kind of collective.
A highly respected percussionist, Wollesen is an ace player in avant-garde and popular contexts, someone who worked constantly in New York and toured until the pandemic hit. One of Wollesen’s most regular collaborators over the years has been composer John Zorn:
He’s one of those guys who just makes you play way better. He pushes you, he makes you rise up and really go for it. You’ve got to be 100 percent present, you can’t phone it in at all. I’m a much better musician because he’s been in my life.
Another is guitarist Bill Frissell:
He has such an unmistakable sound, so the music always becomes him. As a leader, he doesn’t say much at all, he doesn’t overly direct you. But he’s always listening to everything that you’re doing, as well as everything else that’s going on around him, in the band and in the audience. He’s never forcing anything, but it all gets reflected.
Now, “all my gigs got cancelled.” Along with recording and wondering about what comes next for live music, he is returning to making instruments, something he first did through his initiative Wollesonic. “I have hundreds of instruments that I’ve built. Very few are based on pitch; some are more like sound effects. Some interact with air, some interact with light to change sound. A lot of them have cranks on them, kind of like a music box.” But he doesn’t see creating them as being a scientific venture: “I have no patience at all for measuring. It’s more of an intuitive approach. I just like to figure things out. Anyway I’m a percussionist, so it all becomes useful in my palette.”
Another expansion of his approach is his work with ceramicist Julia Elsas. She created an installation at the Cooler Gallery, near the Navy Yard, of a piece called “Chime Choir,” which consists of more than 1,200 instruments, on which he will perform: “In terms of pitch, they’re not designed along a scale. Everything is microtonal. But I enjoy things when they’re not really in sync with each other. Whether they’re in tune or not, they’re in tune in another way: They all come from mud.” Preceding his performance at the gallery is someone working with another material entirely: “There’s a tree outside the space at the Cooler, and that is somehow going to be made to generate music.” So the opening act is a tree? “Yeah, it’s a good thing it’s not the other way around.”

Thank You, Bernie Sanders
EXCERPTED FROM “How The Revolution Started: Essays & Impertinent Thoughts “(Eggy Press).
Thank you, Bernie Sanders, for your leadership.
Thank you, Bernie Sanders, for your courage, your authenticity, your compassion.
Thank you, Bernie Sanders, for speaking truth to power. Thank you for rousing the sleeping giant. Thank you for proving conclusively that progressive ideas aren’t frivolous and “out there” but mainstream and sensible.
America is awakening. America is seeing through the greed and cynicism it’s been falsely assured is inevitable, a “necessary” part of modern life. Citizens who had previously been thoroughly disenchanted with politics are listening carefully and watching closely. And life in the United States will never be quite the same. Just as the Occupy Wall Street movement of 2008 changed the national conversation, this election cycle has transformed the national political consciousness.
Because of the Bernie Sanders campaign, we collectively understand how profoundly corrupted our political system is. Now we understand how undemocratic the two dominant political parties are. Now we understand (too well) that the “news media” are merely entertainment portals in search of ratings and advertisers, and that everything we’ve been told by those alleged “trusted experts” is about as credible as a children’s fairy tale.
Now we know: America is controlled by a small cabal of oligarchs and their compliant bag-carriers. But now we also know that the people — everyone who will never sit on the Board of Wal-Mart, or collect bribes in the form of “speaking fees,” or own a private prison – the people are the biggest corporation of all. And we can’t be stopped.
I’m one of those people. I’m 51; I have no children; I’m financially well-off compared to the average American; I collect no government benefits and very few services; I personally do not need a $15-an-hour minimum wage, or Medicare-for-all, or paid maternity leave, or tuition-free education. I stand to gain nothing from a Bernie Sanders presidency – except the knowledge that my country, for the first time in my life, is finally headed on a path toward peace, kindness, and inclusiveness.
Like many of my fellow Americans, I’ve had enough war. I’ve had enough racism and sexism and jingoism. And like many of my fellow Americans, I’m no longer willing to let neoliberal corporate apologists pass themselves off as progressive agents of change.
Until Bernie Sanders declared his intention of running for President without corporate or PAC support, I hadn’t donated to or volunteered for a political campaign; they were all versions of the same product packaged differently. Bernie changed me. It has been one of the great pleasures of my life to donate and volunteer for his campaign — our campaign — to add another voice to a growing chorus of righteousness. Before I joined this spectacular grassroots effort and talked with voters on their doorsteps and the massive hordes at public rallies, I considered it unthinkable that someone running against the monolithic establishment machine could win the California primary funded by $27 donations.
On Tuesday, June 7th, Bernie Sanders will do the previously unthinkable and win the California primary. On June 7th, we Californians will demonstrate to the entire country that a new era of social justice has officially commenced. And it can’t be stopped.
The Lie has been exposed. From the moment Bernie Sanders announced his candidacy a little over a year ago, business-as-usual cynics started spinning their plausible-sounding but mendacious story: He can’t win. I like him but he can’t win. CNN told me he can’t win. All the polls and the math and people in suits who sound like they know what they’re talking about say he can’t win. He can’t win.
He can win. He will win.
The Clinton campaign and the corporations that support her have spent $200 million to convince gullible voters she’s the “only” choice. What has all that money bought? A gradual and inexorable loss of her “insurmountable” lead and plunging approval ratings the more she appears in public and must answer difficult “yes or no” questions. Only the disastrous “War on Drugs” has returned less on its monetary investment.
Whether or not the money launderers who run the Democratic Party have the good sense to nominate Bernie Sanders for President of the United States, this movement, this blossoming, will continue to flourish. It’s too late to turn back or pretend that business-as-usual is acceptable. Moral clarity has triumphed. Bernie Sanders – and the ideals he represents – has already won the hearts and minds of millions of voters who had given up on the process. And we’re not going away.
Thank you, Bernie Sanders, for fundamentally changing our country. You are not alone. We’re all in this together.

Now that I’ve been to Jerusalem, I can say I have followed the footsteps of Jesus. At the same time, this means I have also walked in the footsteps of Judas.
That's right - Judas was right there too.
That’s so interesting and unsettling to think about, isn’t it? The spy and the Savior walked side by side.
Truth be told, I have been a Christian most of my life but for one reason or another I have never even heard the phrase “Spy Wednesday” until this year. However, it feels so much more personal and real than ever before.
What is Spy Wednesday anyway? In short, it represents the day both Mary and Judas prepared Jesus to die in very different ways.
The religious elite believed Jesus was a threat to their kingdom. They had been planning traps and conspiring to kill him for a while, but by this point they had had enough.
Meanwhile, Mary took a jar of expensive perfume and poured it over Jesus' head and feet, using her hair to rub it in. Not only was this socially unacceptable but Judas was horrified and and saw it as wasteful. He believed the perfume should have been sold and the money given to the poor! He may have felt noble on the outside but his heart was conspiring deep on the inside.
Jesus defended Mary. She somehow understood that Jesus had to die and prophetically embalmed him in advance. To her, it was not a waste to offer her most precious possession if it prepared Jesus for burial.
On the other hand, Judas saw that Jesus was no longer useful to him, so he betrayed him for a small portion compared to the value of Mary’s perfume.
Interestingly, everyone in this story was participating in Jesus’ death. The religious elite offered a bribe to capture Jesus, the spy betrayed Jesus for financial gain, and Mary prepared him to be laid in a tomb.
Spy Wednesday is a reminder of the cost of betrayal and the depth of Jesus' sacrifice for us.
As you continue your week, may we follow the footsteps of the Savior and not harbor the motivations of the spy.
Because guess what? Easter is just a few days away.

TONY Abbott has committed a Coalition government to repealing the carbon tax even if it were earlier approved by the plebiscite that he is trying to get Parliament to support.
The opposition is attempting to get a bill through the Senate this week - the last sitting before the new Senate comes in from July 1 - for the plebiscite, which would ask people whether they are in favour of a law to impose a carbon tax.
The odds appear to be against the bill, but for it to have any chance of parliamentary approval it has to pass the upper house before the Greens get the balance of power in the Senate. It would then need House of Representatives approval, where its fate would rest with independent Andrew Wilkie, who met Mr Abbott yesterday, and West Australian National Tony Crook. A House vote would be some time off. Mr Wilkie said he was yet to reach a position. Mr Crook reserved his position: he said the election had been in effect a plebiscite in which both sides opposed a carbon tax.
The bill's fate in the Senate this week depends on independent Nick Xenophon and Family First senator Steve Fielding. Senator Xenophon, who also met Mr Abbott yesterday, said he favoured a plebiscite provided the wording was neutral and the vote was held when the government had its legislation out. Senator Fielding's spokesman said he was still getting information but was concerned about the cost.
This could be at least $70-$80 million.
The opposition gave notice yesterday of the bill ''to require a plebiscite before Australia introduces a carbon tax''. It was condemned by the Greens and country independents Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott.
The government jumped on Mr Abbott's statement on radio that he would be ''absolutely'' committed to scrapping the tax even if the government won the public vote.
But Mr Abbott contradicted himself, saying at a doorstop: ''Obviously if the people have their say and their say is conclusive one way or another, that should settle the matter. That's just the whole point of this - it is to remove this from the realm of politicians arguing about it and submit it to the people. They should be the final judges.''
House of Representatives leader Anthony Albanese said Mr Abbott wanted all the expenditure of a plebiscite ''but still won't be bound by the outcome''.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard said it was an $80 million stunt. Greens leader senator Bob Brown said: ''It's a tricky political move but one that's very expensive on the public purse.''
Mr Windsor said: ''The plebiscite is at the next election''.
Mr Oakeshott slammed Mr Abbott for his surprise tactic rather than putting the bill through the normal process for private members' bills. On its substance: ''it's academic - we have to get a policy first.''
There have been only three plebiscites - non-binding votes - in Australia's federal history: two conscription votes in World War I and the 1977 vote for a national song. If passed, the government would be committed to having a vote within three months but would not have to abide by the outcome.

Published by Davide Pappalardo on May 26, 2022
Veteran producer and electro-industrial artist Rhys Fulber is a name well known by both the old guard and the new generation. The first ones for his career in Front Line Assembly, Will and Delerium (this project actually became the most lucrative one thanks to its evolution toward trance and commercial sounds) and his role as a producer and remixer for Fear Factory (a key name in the popularization of the so called industrial metal sound), the second for his recent endeavors in the field of techno-industrial with EBM, ambient and IDM leanings.
We are talking about works like the EPs Realism (Sonic Groove, 2017) and Diaspora (aufnahme+wiedergabe, 2020) and the albums Your Dystopia, My Utopia, Olstagia (Sonic Groove, 2018/2019), Brutal Nature (FR Recordings, 2021). His last outputs foreshadowed a direction informed by old-school techno and 90s influence, and the new work for Sonic Groove Collapsing Empires seems to confirm this idea while retaining his love for ambient elements.
Actually, the album was conceived as a conceptual companion to the aforementioned Brutal Nature, both products of the Covid pandemic. So, we have more of a parallel tale with its own narrative than a continuation, another side of the same world.
Concrete cogitation welcome us with its nervous and dry rhythmic pattern employing dark techno obsessions and nocturnal synth sounds – the second half getting momentum via industrial hard beats and dissonance – while Dead reckon starts as a cinematic and droning ambient piece with ethereal parts intermixed with darker parts, evolving into a sort of modern electrical orchestration.
Glory to labour is a classic techno number with minimal rhythms and eerie synths, a moment akin to the style of Surgeon, and As far as dreams builds up an oneiric industrial-tinged mantra via a crescendo sustained by the adding of rhythmic and sonic elements – climaxing with a grandiose choir of powerful emotions.
Empire collapse ends our journey with electronic ambiances and cosmic synths recalling 70s kraut experiments in its early steps, then devolving into sharper soundscapes with a chaotic hedge and a cinematic finale.
All in all, Fulber reworks once again sounds and styles using his own peculiar sensibility and aesthetics, creating something easily recognizable as his, but at the same time different from previous works. The result is mental concept where the listener will picture images and scenarios while accompanied by the flawless production and skillful sound-design of the album. Another fine addition to a great discography.

A former Chicago Board Options Exchange trader on Wednesday was sentenced to more than nine years in prison and ordered to pay $21 million in restitution for using money and securities from investors to subsidize his trading and expenses.
Edward Thomas Jung was convicted of fraud in February 2004 for falsely promising to invest his hedge fund customers' money in stock options.
The 60-year-old Jung was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Milton Shadur to 109 months in prison and ordered to repay as many as 60 investors, said Assistant U.S. Atty. Ed Kohler in Chicago.
Gregory Adamski, Jung's attorney, said his client was appealing his conviction. Jung's investors were told that he was making trades collateralized with their assets, and they could lose money, said Adamski.
"Jung didn't do a good job of trading," Adamski said. "His position is that everything he did was fully disclosed and upfront, and that he has no criminal liability."
Jung was indicted on securities and mail fraud charges in February 2003 as the Securities and Exchange Commission increased scrutiny of hedge funds, loosely regulated private investment pools generally open to wealthy individuals and institutional investors.
"The length of the sentence is appropriate for the crime and should send a message to the investment community," Kohler said.

To Market, To Market...at Campo de Fiori
One of the best outdoor markets I've seen. Many vendors of fresh fruits, vegetables, pasta, olive oil and the namesake flowers. Very lively from early morning until late afternoon when the market is open and then a bustling hub of nightlife after hours.

From the small street, you enter through a gate to access the house via a long alley.
Welcome to Samurai Kevin’s place!
Kevin’s family crest is the famous “Odaka” or “Itsutsuba Mokko” (flowering quince) of Oda Nobunaga, the powerful samurai daimyo warlord who initiated the unification of Japan near the end of the Warring States period in the late 16th century.
(Please note that the decoration of the house may change with the season.)
Here is a more detailed description of the Toji Machiya. We’ve tried to show you around the place the best we can.
(you can click on any photo to see a larger one).
The floor plan of the house will make it easier to understand the position and layout of the various rooms and areas of this house.
Simply click on the thumbnail on the right to see a larger one.
You enter the house in the “genkan” where a traditional wedding kimono welcomes you.
This is where you leave your shoes and hang your coat. You open a second inside glass door on your left, and enter into the house, facing theliving / dining area, with the kitchen on your left.
The LDK – Living Dining Kitchen
As you enter the house, the dining table is in front of you, the living room with the Tokonoma (where you can see Samurai Kevin) and the “shôji” (paper windows) to the garden right behind. The open kitchen is on your left. On your right is the Western bedroom. At the end, you can see the “Hakokaidan”, the box-staircase leading to the loft bedroom.
In the living / dining area, we have a wooden dining table with seating for six. During the cold winter, you will appreciate the floor heating both in the dining area and the Japanese Tatami mat living room. The area in front of the kitchen counter is also heated.
A large 52 inch flat screen HD TV and a BD player are hidden in the closet next to Samurai Kevin for your enjoyment. The living room can be entirely closed with sliding “shôji” (paper windows). The bottom part of the windows next to the closet can be open to enjoy the garden.
Usually a low table and seating cushions are placed in the middle to enable our guests to have a cup of tea (or a glass of beer or wine) while enjoying the view of the “Tsuboniwa” or courtyard garden. Depending on the number of guests, this room can also be used as a bedroom using futons.
You can see on the left how the “shôji” paper doors are being used to close entirely the living room to provide provacy.
The fully equipped modern kitchen will please anyone who wants to cook at home for a simple breakfast or a complete dinner. A large selection of cooking utensils, induction cooktop, microwave oven / oven, all kind of appliances such as rice cooker, toaster, blender, electric kettle, coffee machine, and dishes, plates, glasses. The setting is convenient for short stay as well as for people who stay for a longer period and prefer to eat at home. And of course, you’ll find the basics such as salt-pepper, oil, sauce, soja, etc.
The Western Bedroom
Next to the dining room, behind wooden sliding doors, you’ll find the main western bedroom. It features a double bed, a reclining working desk and a large closet.
The Loft Bedroom
An old wooden box stairs (Hako Kaidan) leads to the loft bedroom where you’ll find two single beds (mattress). As you can see in the photos, this space is meant for children or to sleep.
The Bathroom Area
The bathroom is located at the end of the house, on the left of the garden. You access there by first entering the laundry room where you findfully automatic All-In-One Washer / Dryer, something travelers will truly appreciate. From there, you access the toilet (the Japanese “washlet” may surprise you) ahead of you and the bathroom itself on the right.
The house is decorated with old Japanese art-craft for a more refined atmosphere.

World implantable medical devices stimulate demand for titanium growth
The demand for titanium in the world's medical device implants is growing rapidly, with hip and knee products dominating.
According to data released by SIEMENS, only the United States market, as of 2030, artificial hip joint and knee implants demand is expected to exceed 4 million, an increase of 300% in 20.
Titanium implants are widely used in the medical field, and the standard sizes and types of artificial hip joints are up to more than 10, which were unimaginable a few years ago.
Titanium implants for medical implants are mainly used in artificial joints, but the number of titanium plates and titanium mesh used for rebuilding damaged bone is also increasing.
The reason titanium is widely used in medical implants is that it does not rust and does not react with human tissues. In addition, the bone growth depends on the surface characteristics of the specially made titanium implants.
New medical applications are also growing rapidly. Early in the year, Europe implanted its first titanium chin. The implant is made in belgium. The lower jaw is made of laser fused titanium powder in the metal layer, which is called rapid prototyping.
An unusual application of titanium is the placement of plastic surgical implants.
The titanium coating developer and supplier is the United States APS materials company, which uses plasma spraying and other technologies to film titanium implants on implants. The coating is usually CP (industrial pure titanium) or standard 6-4 titanium alloy.
Coating designs are designed to assist anchor planting devices that support bone growth. They have been used in hip and knee joints, as well as disc replacement and other medical applications.

The food was ROTTING!
27/04/2009 by Reviewer12
Never, ever, go to this restaurant! I went there last night for the first time. We ordered vine leaves amongst other items, for starters and they were covered in mould! The food was rotten. It had a bizarre fungus growing on it, all over it. The type you get on mouldy bread, with spores on the surface. I pointed this out to the waiter and when the manager came over to talk to us, he was almost angry at me for having pointed this out. He asked me what I suggest he do, and why was I complaining! He then proceeded to explain to me that it is because they have lots of meals to prepare and don’t have the time to check every one before they were served. For the vine leaves to be this mouldy, they must have been over a week old or more. Obviously we didn’t eat anything else here, we just can’t trust the kitchen. If they leave the food to rot, then imagine how poor the meat must be, and it’s actually dangerous to be serving old and rotten food. The disgusting rotting smell is still with me today! I don’t think I can ever face eating another vine leaf ever again after this experience. In general, before the vine leaves arrived, the service was very poor, and surly. The decor of the restaurant is so dated, and the toilets are filthy.Report this

Efes - Simply the best kebabs in town
27/06/2007 by collector
I have been eating in the restaurant and taking away from Efes for the last 3 years. Apparently it has been there for approx 30 years, which in itself tells you what sort of place it is.. The staff are always friendly and helpful. There is plenty of turkish food to choose from, all cooked to order. A typical sit down meal will cost approx £ 10 per head. On most nights, there is a long queue of taxi's parked outside, all waiting for their take aways - and we all know that taxi drivers are very fussy with where they go. If you are near to the restaurant, and want to sit down or take away a great kebab or other turkish dish, then you will not find much better then Efes.Report this

Well not just bugs but birds too. We have been inspired by some excellent architectural building design projects that incorporate habitats for birds and wildlife within the fabric of the building.
Any new development is potentially taking away habitat space and it is important that this is taken into account in the new building.
We have come across this fantastic product from a Building Design Online article which provides nest boxes for birds within the bricks of a new building.
For projects that do not involve a brick new build the Grass Roof Company produce bug habitats which can be fixed to the side of existing buildings immediately increasing the habitat coverage for bugs and insects.
We will certainly be sure to look for ways that we can incorporate these kind of products into our building and renovation design from now on.

Ofsted: Schools need more support to tackle knife crime
Schools in London need more support when it comes to dealing with knife crime, new research from Ofsted finds.
Ofsted's report: Safeguarding children and young people in education from knife crime – lessons from London found that while schools need to keep children safe, they do not have the ability or the resources to counter the complex societal problems behind the rise in knife crime. These need to be addressed by a range of partners including the police, local authorities and policy makers.
Ofsted’s research looks at how schools, colleges, and pupil referral units (PRUs) in London protect children from knife violence in school, and how they teach pupils to stay safe outside school. The study also examines how exclusions are being used when children bring knives into school.
Ofsted’s study shows it is also clear that schools’ valuable role in local partnerships is not being realised, leading to inconsistencies across London in the way schools respond.
The report finds that schools need guidance about what works when it comes to dealing with knife crime. Some schools shy away from using searches or specific education programmes because they are worried about sending the “wrong message” to parents, despite evidence that these methods can effectively deter children from bringing weapons into school.
The report finds that school leaders have very different approaches to involving the police in incidents of knife-carrying, and there is an overall lack of clarity on when police involvement is necessary. This means that some children are more likely to be criminalised for their actions than others, depending on which school they go to, or even within the same school. Too often decisions are made on the basis of children’s background, rather than the risk they pose to others.
It also says that as an alternative to exclusion, pupils who carry knives are sometimes moved to other mainstream schools or PRUs. But no single body has a clear picture of the number of children who are moved, where they go, or for what reason. It is difficult to know what happens to these children, whether they are kept safe or what their educational outcomes are. The report recommends that the Department for Education collect data on managed moves in the same way it collects information on exclusions. This data will help Ofsted and others to determine how effective managed moves are for children.
The report finds there is no evidence to suggest exclusions are the root-cause of the surge in knife violence. Children who carry knives almost invariably have complex problems that begin long before they are excluded.
While acknowledging that permanent exclusions are a necessary and important sanction, the report warns that some schools may be doing children a disservice by failing to follow statutory guidance on exclusions and considering whether early intervention or extra support can be put in place for children in groups with disproportionately high rates of exclusion – such as children in care. Exclusion may well be the right option in many cases, and schools must be able to take the necessary action to keep other pupils safe. However, it is important that all factors are considered.
For a longer term solution, it’s imperative that partners work together on early help services that can prevent children from reaching the point of exclusion in the first place. The report acknowledges, however, the challenges local agencies face in prioritising resources for such services.

Legacy Emanuel Randall Children’s Hospital
JH Kelly provided plumbing, HVAC and medical gas piping work scopes for a new ten-story tower addition to Emanuel Hospital. The new tower is approximately 340,000 square feet with 176 patient rooms. Located on the existing Emanuel campus with limited lay-down area, the project required critical tie-ins into the existing hospital. These included steam, condensate return, chilled and heating water and medical oxygen, air, and vacuum. The new tower added a patient corridor from the existing hospital to the burn center.
