As a dancer, others dancers are perhaps my all-time favorite subject to photograph (aside from kids, that is). Maybe it’s that I know what a step/position/move is supposed to look like. Maybe it’s just the joy I see on the face of other dancers as I photograph them doing what they love as much as I do. I don’t know, but I do know that I really look forward to those sessions.
While visiting some friends in Northern Utah their amazingly talented daughter asked me if I would be willing to do “some dance pictures” for her after we did their family session. I think I was almost more excited than her! This young lady is incredibly dedicated, talented and I see her going pretty far in the dance world. The sky’s the limit for her. And for those of you wondering… she’s only nine years old.
Recently I had the opportunity to display and sell my wares and talents at the Belly Swap Sale and Hafla. Every year Shifting Sands hosts a belly swap where vendors and members can bring in their wares, their costumes they no longer use, jewelry and many other items having to do with belly dancing and not having to do with it. The amazing ladies in my troupe, Seraphina Fire, are not only talented in their dancing, but we’re all pretty crafty as well.
Seraphine Fire purchased vendor space, and set up shop.
My little contribution
Some of my owls
The rest of the girls’ stuff… and my computer, lol.
It wouldn’t be Seraphina Fire if there weren’t a few… shenanigans.
And this year, I actually left with more money than I spent… though not much, lol.
While not the most flattering picture of me… I’ve got to love the fact that my hubby doesn’t care. To him, this is me doing what I love! While I’m usually much more put together than this, some days I’m better off with more durable clothing for wading through nature (even if it’s nature where least expected). Last night was no exception as I wandered through Lake Las Vegas finding new spots for sessions.
I think of all my endeavors, the photography tickles my family the most as I’m an incredibly girly girl who isn’t too fond of dirt, getting dirty, or hiking of any kind… give me a dance studio any day and I’m ecstatic. But my sensibilities don’t really matter when it comes to this. Hopefully, that means great moments on film. 😀
What do you do that may be outside what would be considered “normal” for you?

Ireland: AIB and UBS to advise state on Aer Lingus
Confirmation that the government is moving ahead with its plan to privatise Aer Lingus is likely to lead to a furious reaction from Siptu, the Irish airline’s second-largest trade union. The union has already been incensed by a controversial management document that purported to show that the airline considered a range of underhand measures to make life more difficult for its staff in an effort to encourage 1,300 voluntary redundancies. It has sought to use this memo to bolster its case against privatisation.
“Our own advisers have told us there is need for investment going forward but it is open to question how much is needed over what period of time and in what tranches,” said Michael Halpenny, Siptu’s national industrial secretary. “We have a

Although we’ve been hearing about it for a while, 3G is finally on the way out to make room for the faster 4G LTE and 5G service. 3G was introduced in 2001 allowing 3G devices to do a lot more than making phone calls. It has changed the way we communicate while helping us stay organized and readily informed.
However, twenty years since its introduction, the time has come to move on to the new and improved version. 3G services no longer can deliver enough speed or capacity for their customers.
Why the Shutdown Now?
With carriers shutting down their 3G internet services, your current telematics solution could be in serious trouble. If your company’s current telematics system was integrated prior to 2018, there is a good possibility your equipment will essentially become useless, or at least be seriously compromised as the 3G shutdowns continue.
The issue comes when these carriers switch to 4G LTE and 5G services, and your outdated telematics solution is running on borrowed time. Ignoring the 3G network shutdown will have a significant impact on fleet tracking solutions.
In the United States, network carriers are quite eager to phase out — or sunset — older networks. The main reason for this is the spectrum used for any of the 2G or 3G services can be repurposed to support the 4G LTE and newer services. This is because the 4G LTE services are more efficient than the 3G networks. This 3G shutdown will allow more devices to share the same spectrum.
Another reason carriers are so anxious to make the move to 4G is that the new devices are more dynamic, which 3G cannot support. 3G tops out at roughly 3 MBPs, which means these devices require updated networks to follow through on the promise of their new design.
The Advantages of Moving to 4G
For fleets, making the move from 3G to 4G LTE (and eventually, 5G) will result in quicker communication between people, the products, and the networks, resulting in quicker response times, increased system connectivity, and higher data rates. These benefits will allow companies and individuals to send more data than the previous 3G network with greater efficiency and at a lower cost.
Once 5G services come into play, companies can expect a greater increase in speeds and a lower amount of inactivity, which will allow for a quicker connection.
The wireless communication industry trade association (CTIA) thinks the eventual move toward a 5G network will revolutionize industries from agriculture to transportation, thanks to the increase in performance and productivity, leading to more effective use of company assets.
Updating your fleet to 4G LTE or 5G networks will give you a quicker connection. The other benefits include higher bandwidth, extended coverage, lower latency, and improved reliability.
The move will also allow companies to utilize new and more complex services and collect more data across their fleets. This gives you the ability to complete improved analysis and problem solving, thus helping you make improved business decisions to increase your company’s productivity.
4G-supported devices have the ability to connect everything you need into one telematics platform. Some of the features that can be used to increase productivity using 4G-supported devices include ELD, dashcam recordings, two-way cold chain monitoring, drum rotations, and water level readings for construction vehicles.
What Happens Next?
If your company is still using outdated telematics or other equipment that only supports 3G services, those devices will no longer have a network to connect to once the 3G shutdown goes into effect. Thus, you will have equipment that has no way of sharing or receiving any data, information, or communications through your telematics.
However, once networks shut their 3G networks down, 3G devices may have limited access to towers that can still transmit 3G data. Places that once received clear signals may be out of range after the 3G shutdown. The service disruptions will likely be very noticeable toward the end of 2021 and into the early part of 2022, which is why preparing for these shutdowns now is so important.
In many cases, current telematics technology largely uses 3G and 2G networks to connect your drivers and vehicles. If your company is using 3G devices, you will need to upgrade them to 4G supported units to keep everything connected and running smoothly. This switch is imperative in order to avoid communication dropouts which could lead to a loss of business.
For the sake of your business, you don’t want to be caught with service disruptions by ignoring the 3G shutdown or assuming your tracking devices won’t be affected by the shutdown.
The shift from the 3G services is inevitable — and networks are already looking ahead to 5G coverage. While updating to a 5G network on a large scale is still far in the future globally, a widespread rollout is expected to arrive by 2022.
In fact, 5G is currently available in countries such as Australia, the United States, Saudi Arabia, England, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Finland, South Africa, and South Korea, and is being tested in many other places worldwide. Monaco just became the first European country to have full 5G coverage. So, we’re not that far away from full implementation.
Our platform is ready for the future — so businesses won’t have the interruption of service that many others may be facing. Switching to a new telematics solution may be the best strategy to help your company’s fleet easily and quickly adapt to the changes in technology.
Getting Your Organization Ready
One of the first things you should do to get ready for the 3G shutdown is to determine how many of your devices are operating on 3G networks. Once this has been determined, the next step is making a 4G transition plan. Start by evaluating your organization’s needs.
Next, determine the time frame to uninstall old telematics devices and install new ones. Lastly, have an installer ready to uninstall the old devices and then install the new ones. Using someone internally may require some planning in order to manage their time. If you decide to use someone externally, you may need to consider availability.
To get your company ready for this switch, you will also need to balance your vehicle fleet's availability with each of the installers, as your trucks are unlikely to all be parked in the same location at the same time. Once each new device is installed, ensure everyone from your team — not just the drivers — have the resources to learn how to use the technology properly. This preparation will allow you to get the highest return out of your investment.
Next Steps for Fleets
To put things into perspective, upgrading your vehicles to 4G LTE or 5G networks gives you a faster connection. This ultimately means higher bandwidth, extended coverage, lower latency, and improved reliability.
This upgrade also allows you to utilize new and more intricate services and collect more data across your vehicle fleet. Ultimately, the upgrade provides the ability to complete more analysis and problem solving, which helps to make better business decisions with the goal of increasing efficiency and productivity.
It should be noted that 4G-supported devices have the ability to connect every device you need into one telematics platform. Dash cam recordings, two-way cold chain monitoring, ELD, and drum rotations, and water level readings for construction vehicles are just a few of the features that can be utilized to increase productivity using 4G supported devices.
For businesses who typically rely on machine-to-machine devices such as vehicle telematics, here is what you should do now:
- Check with your telematics provider immediately to find out whether the devices on your vehicle fleet are 3G or 4G LTE devices.
- As the 3G shutdown is the second major sunsetting of another network technology, determine if your telematics provider provides warranties or expandable technology for your devices.
- If your provider’s devices are indeed on a 3G network, determine what services and plans may be in place to avoid any possible disruptions to any of your telematics services. If you’re currently looking into a telematics solution, ensure the telematics provider is indeed selling 4G devices.
Using an up-to-date telematics platform with 4G LTE — like Smith360 telematics — means that for any future shutdowns, your company is ready to move forward and keep your telematics running smoothly.

AceShowbiz - %cAdam Levine% has finally met the girl named Mila who was heartbroken after she learned that he got married. Mila and her mom Emily appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Friday, October 16 when the member of %cMaroon 5% made a surprise appearance.
During the show, host %cEllen DeGeneres% gave Mila an outfit with a lot of pictures of Adam and the words "Mila + Adam 4Eva." Ellen then revealed she had another present for Mila. Adam then walked to the stage followed by screams from the audience.
The 36-year-old singer brought a rose for the 3-year-old girl. Mila was completely transfixed looking at the singer. She said, "Thank you," for the rose he gave. Adam then carried her but she was apparently shy. She tried to get back to her mother's arms. "It's a lot to meet the love of your life all of a sudden," Ellen said of Mila's shy reaction.
Mila appeared in a YouTube video which went viral earlier this month and showed her breaking down in tears over the news that Adam got married. Responding to the viral video, Adam said, "It was kind of heartbreaking but it was so unbelievably cute. Every single person that I know - in my entire life - sent it to me."
"I think the first two people were my wife... and my mother. They were like 'This is so cute!' " Adam explained. "And then [Ellen called him] and here we are. And she's clearly transfixed." When Adam tried to approach Mila, she went back to her mother's arms again. Ellen then concluded, "Mila's seeing someone else, I think." Adam added, "She has moved on."

/ Don Whillans' last climb with Joe Brown
As an ex runner I know how older runners have the ability to impress with amazing times that you wouldn't know they had the ability to do just looking at them before the race - Martin Rees 32 minute 10K at the age of 60 is something akin to how smoothly Joe Brown moves up the rock.
However, the banter and lively discussion is something that many of us can relate to (even at my lowly climbing ability). Leading or seconding I get scared and often talk to my leader/belayer as a way of controlling it... occasionally you can see that (or maybe I am just trying to convince myself?)!
Either way I hope that a few other UKC's can appeciate this (avoid the 'this has been posted before')
Whillans and brown were real inspirations when i started climbing around 1980, we used to always want to repeat their routes above anyone elses..
An honest comment, that most of us will recognise in ourselves - given the gift of humility.
Mark Diggins said, "...some modern climbers are flattered by their equipment and are not as good as they think they are".
>Martin Rees 32 minute 10K at the age of 60 is something akin to how smoothly Joe Brown moves up the rock.
I'm not sure about that. Plenty of 60 year olds climb a lot harder than borderline HVS/E1. Joe looks competent enough, but you'd kinda expect that. A 32 minute 10k at 60 is a lot more impressive imho.
Looks like a good video. Just before the minute mark it says he was "the first man to stand on the summit of Annapurna"; is he French??

Human speech has 'ancient roots within primate communication'
Chimpanzee lip smacks follow the rhythm of human speech, a study has found.
Lip smacks made by chimpanzees follow a rhythm similar to human speech, according to a new study.
Monkeys are known to use this facial gesture, characterised by fast-paced cycles of vertical jaw movement, to communicate with each other. But scientists have, for the first time, observed these mouth signals in a great ape and found their lip smacks to have the same pace of human spoken language.
They believe their findings, published in the journal Biology Letters, could be a “critical step” towards unlocking the mystery of how speech evolved in humans.
Read more about language in animals:
Humans are thought to open their mouths between two and seven times per second while talking, with each open-close cycle corresponding to a syllable.
This speech-like rhythm has also been observed in other primate species such as gibbons, orangutans and macaques. However, the lip smacks of African great apes, the closest species to humans, had never been studied.
So a team of researchers, which included scientists from St Andrews University, the University of York and the University of Warwick, looked at data from four chimpanzee populations.
They analysed the video recordings of these primates from Edinburgh Zoo and Leipzig Zoo in Germany, alongside footage collected from wild communities in Uganda, including the Kanyawara and the Waibira. Researchers found that chimpanzees made lip smacks while grooming another, opening and closing their mouths at an average of four times per second.
According to the experts, these findings confirm that human speech has “ancient roots within primate communication”. They believe these mouth signals may have played a role in the evolution of a vocal system in humans that laid the foundation for speech.
Study author Dr Adriano Lameira, from the department of psychology at the University of Warwick, said: “Our results prove that spoken language was pulled together within our ancestral lineage using ‘ingredients’ that were already available and in use by other primates and hominids.
“This dispels much of the scientific enigma that language evolution has represented so far.”

- Linguistics: 7 language science books to help you finally understand what comes out of your mouth
He added: “We found pronounced differences in rhythm between chimpanzee populations, suggesting that these are not the automatic and stereotypical signals so often attributed to our ape cousins.
“Instead, just like in humans, we should start seriously considering that individual differences, social conventions and environmental factors may play a role in how chimpanzees engage ‘in conversation’ with one another.”
I’d like to learn a language, which is the easiest one to pick up?According to the US Foreign Service Institute, which trains US diplomats, there are 10 ‘category 1’ languages that share the most similarities with English, and are hence the easiest to learn. These include French, Spanish and Italian, and they all take about 600 hours of study to become reasonably fluent.
If you want to really impress, though, why not try Afrikaans? This is also category 1 and is more unusual as a second language. Alternatively, you could impress your partner with your earning potential and learn a programming language. Ruby is one of the easiest languages for novice coders and one of the highest paid. Programmers fluent in Ruby typically earn £79,000.

RALEIGH, N.C. – When Donal Ware and I hooked up in Birmingham four months ago at the Southwestern Athletic Conference football media day, we were both fairly certain the 2019 Celebration Bowl was destined for a rematch of last year’s game that decided the HBCU national championship.
Now, with a month left before the SWAC and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champions meet Dec. 21 at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, there’s a major issue at hand. Neither SWAC defending conference champion Alcorn State nor two-time defending HBCU national champion North Carolina A&T have settled anything yet in their respective conferences.
Both teams have the inside track in the SWAC and MEAC, and control their own destiny entering their final week of regular-season play, respectively. So there’s a strong chance both could end up right back in Atlanta next month, a year after the Aggies survived the Braves’ rally for a thrilling 24-22 victory.
There’s also a solid chance neither gets back, with N.C. A&T currently tied with South Carolina State atop the MEAC standings entering Saturday. If the Aggies defeat rival North Carolina Central on Saturday, they’d win the MEAC’s bid to the Celebration Bowl for a third straight season. A N.C. A&T loss coupled with a S.C. State road win at Norfolk State would send the Bulldogs to Atlanta.
Meanwhile, Alcorn State has locked up an unprecedented sixth straight SWAC East division title, but needs a win Saturday at Jackson State to secure homefield advantage for a second straight year in the Dec. 7 conference championship game. One way or another, the Braves’ opponent in the SWAC title game will be the winner of the Nov. 30 Bayou Classic in New Orleans, where Southern and Grambling State will be playing for the East division crown.
The combination of an Alcorn State loss to Jackson State on Saturday and a Grambling win over Southern the following week would shift the SWAC championship game to Eddie Robinson Stadium, where the Tigers beat Alcorn in overtime two weeks ago. So there’s plenty of business left to settle.
And if that wasn’t complicated enough, we’re headed down a path where the team that ultimately wins the nationally televised Celebration Bowl might not even be the outright HBCU national champion.
That’s because Florida A&M, the consensus No. 1 ranked team in Boxtorow’s HBCU coaches and media polls the past month, is ineligible for a MEAC title and postseason play this season while under NCAA sanctions. Still, should the Rattlers win Saturday’s Florida Classic in Orlando against rival Bethune-Cookman, they’ll likely maintain their premium poll position.
Hence, FAMU would have essentially run the table in the MEAC and staked its claim as national champs regardless of what happens on the football field next month in Atlanta. Welcome to the chaos that lines the path of HBCU football’s sprint to the finish line.
“We say it week after week – our goals are still in front of us,” insisted FAMU coach Willie Simmons, whose team is dealing with repercussions from NCAA violations committed under previous coaches, players and athletic administrators. “We show up and work every week with that mindset.”
That left Ware and I with plenty to unpack and dive into across the HBCU football landscape when we reconnected on the historic campus of Saint Augustine’s University. Ware is a syndicated sports and culture radio personality on SiriusXM, curator of the Boxtowrow HBCU national polls and play-by-play broadcaster for N.C. A&T football.
We’ve both covered black college football for parts of three decades and are HBCU graduates. We figured we’d seen just about everything – except a season that’s featured as much drama and as many stunning storylines as this one has delivered. And just keeps delivering.
In our latest Grind City Media HBCU Football video update, we break down the race to the Celebration Bowl, set the stage for No. 2-ranked Bowie State’s chances in the NCAA Division II playoffs and handicap the black college coaching hot seat as we brace for black college football’s postseason.
Yep, HBCU football is every bit as hot today as those July temperatures were back in Birmingham.


Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman slams Rahul Gandhi over Rafale allegations
After Rahul Gandhi, citing a report by The Hindu, accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being "directly involved in the Rafale scam", Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has hit back. Speaking outside the Parliament, Sitharaman accused The Hindu of 'irresponsible and slanderous' journalism, and accused Gandhi of trying to create a divide between the armed forces and India's leadership. Here are the details.
The political war of words erupted after The Hindu reported that the Defense Ministry had voiced strong objections to "parallel negotiations" conducted by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) with France on the multi-billion dollar Rafale Deal. The dissent note, from November 2015, claimed that the ministry's negotiating position had been undermined by the PMO. The note had also been brought to then Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar's attention.
"We have been saying this for more than a year that the Prime Minister is directly involved in the Rafale scam...It is absolutely black and white that the Prime Minister himself was carrying a parallel negotiation with the French," Gandhi said following the report's publication.
Countering Gandhi's claims, Sitharaman alleged that The Hindu had conveniently left out Parrikar's comments on the dissent, and called the report 'selective journalism'. She further condemned the publication for not getting facts right, and said that the PMO regularly asking the Defense Ministry for updates did not qualify as interference. She also slammed Gandhi for trying to divide the armed forces and PM Modi.
"They are flogging a dead horse. Periodical enquiries by the PMO cannot be construed as interference," said Sitharaman.
Interestingly, then Defense Secretary G Mohan Kumar, who prepared and signed the dissent note made certain clarifications to the media. News agency ANI quoted him as saying that the dissent note had "nothing to do" with the pricing of the Rafale jets - an issue that has generated heated controversy. He added that the note was about "sovereign guarantees and general terms and conditions".

The S&P 500 will likely trade higher, at least in early turnover and if the recent swoon was spurred by concern that the Alternative Minimum Tax had been retained in the Senate tax reform, then some investors may be more relaxed as several leading Senators, including Hatch, have indicated that it will be dropped in the final bill, according to analysts at BBH.
“The Senate and House have now named the members of the reconciliation committee. While they sort it out, the focus shifts to the spending authorization which, if not renewed, will lead to a government shutdown on Saturday. The House may vote on a measure today to extend the spending authorization until December 22. The Senate may vote on the short-term extension tomorrow.”
“The narrow Republican majority in the Senate may get even smaller if they do not hold on to the seat in Alabama, which will hold its special election on December 12. Consider that the Senate tax bill passed with a one vote majority. The deal that Collins struck over health care reform apparently is not supported by House Speaker Ryan. If she were to vote against the final bill and the GOP loses the Alabama seat, it could jeopardize the tax changes. Separately, Democrat Senator Franken is expected to resign today. The Democratic governor would like to ensure that the seat stays in the Democrat hands.”

Slowly and Deliberately She Cultivates the Landscape of his Face
Stone, Cast Iron
Her waters break.
Water breaks, on jagged rocks.
Cupped hands reach below the surface, splashing on noses and cheekbones
that echo the same shape.
Slowly and deliberately
she cultivates the landscape of his face, running transparent hands over and over
solid and still skin that offers little resistance.
Now it is him that lies paralysed,
overwhelmed by her strength,
immobilised by his own weight.
Stoney mattresses deter thoughts of sleep and wet dreams.
a river bed is not for lying,
unless you wish to surrender your appearance to viscous imagination
and the possibility of being pulled,
against your will and in the wrong direction.
But at least then he’ll realise how she feels.
[This stone was found in a river in Aberdeenshire while swimming with four other women. The river was at the bottom of a hill called ‘Tap O’Noth’, known for looking like a breast, as documented by male ‘discoverers’. Upon reaching the top of the hill fort, explorers and hill walkers would place a stone on its peak, over time creating a nipple in the sky line. The iron cast was also made while in Aberdeenshire.]

I am selling my Hartke Hydrive 1x12 neo cab.
I've owned this cab for a few months and really dig it. It's super light (maybe 20 lbs) is switchable between 4 and 8 ohms and has a horn which can be turned on or off not to mention it's rated at 300 watts.
I bought this cab because I needed a light portable rig and this thing has worked wonderfully. I've used it on a few gigs and I've never had a problem with it.
I removed the badges from the grill but still have them. Also the tolex does have some knicks in it but it doesn't effect how the thing sounds at all.
I'm asking $200 for the cab. I am also open to trades. Especially fuzz pedals and J bass bodies and necks.
I live in Knoxville TN and would prefer to sell this locally (I'll travel within an hour) but if you really want it, and are willing to cover the shipping, maybe we can work something out.
Thanks for looking

soft dog poop
I work a 3 yr.old "Super Hyper" GSD BomB Dog. He has constant Soft Stools, never been firm. My Vet and I have tried Prozyme,Chineese Herbs, different foods to no avail. He is on Royal Canin Proscribed Diet. Gobbles-up all the food, feed him twice daily 2 1/2 cups per serving. Blood work is normal. Is this problem Mental or Physical? Is there anything else to try or test for? Oh Yeah, Hair loss is heavy, not Bald or patchy and dog is super skinny. No weight loss, or bones showing, hair is shinny, teeth and eyes are bright. Is Soft Poop Normal?
on May 7th 2008
in Health & Wellness
- This question is closed.
No, this is not normal, though GSDs are more prone to it. Royal Canin is one of the companies involved in a class action suit for using diseased animals and euthanized pets from shelters and vet offices, plus hooves and etc in their food. Nothing I want to feed my dog. Lily had colitis and IBS last year. We went through months of diarrhea. In looking for food for her, I found that Canidae recommends a 1 meat formula for dogs with sensitive stomachs. Canidae Chicken & Rice has done wonders for her. Because it is high calorie, you feed less. A 75 pound dog would get 3 cups total. Less food, less poo. I would be concerned about the rice hulls in the Royal Canin for a dog with a problem. I also used Petcillin or K-P anti diarrheal liquid ocassionally. It has just clay and pectin - no chemicals. Helped a lot. Do not use human kaopectate. Now Lily is 50% raw fed and her stools are once a day and firm. What a difference. You can pmail me with questions. As usual, I am running out of space.

I have a dog that has had some similar problems and I put him on Nutro Chicken/Oatmeal for sensitive stomachs.I also mix in a little of the W/D Science Hill Prescription Diet.The W/D is really a weight loss food, but it is high in fiber.Sometimes dogs need more fiber in their diet to absorb the water and get firmer stools. I mix in 1/4 cup of the W/D to 3/4 cup of the Nutro and have good results. Dogs stools really should not be soft. Have you wormed him? Usually a first step. I'm sure your vet has thought of that. This food combo works really well for my dog. There is also a website called onlynaturalpet.com. Go to the supplement section and try to order some of the supplements for GI support. A little expensive but worth it. It sounds to me like he isn't absorbing enough nutrients and that is why he is skinny and having hair loss. The food is basically going right through him. My dog does much better on a lower protein higher fiber food. This combo of food helped coat and weight
Many German Shepherds are known for having sensitive stomachs and they can also be quite prone to having food allergies.
Has your vet run an allergy panel?
Based on your description of hair loss, being skinny, and having soft poops, my guess would be that this is food related. Royal Canin is not the worst quality dog food, but it isn't a very high quality food, either.
I would try to rule out any obvious food allergies with the allergy panel, but you may want to also consider switching to a grain-free food or maybe even the raw diet if it is possible for you to feed raw in the scope of your duties.
A quality grain-free kibble is Merrick's new "BG" (before grains) line of foods. It does include potato, so make sure to rule out allergies to potatoes. You may also want to consider supplementing with fish / flax / borage oil capsules for healthy skin and coat, vitamin E and probiotics to help with the associated issues.

My GSD is only 4.5 months old but it has been quite the adventure trying to find a food that she will eat more than 2 cups a day of. Dakota too is somewhat skinny compared to her litter mates as well as according to the vet. She's not emaciated or anything just thinner than the rest. We had her on Royal Canin as well and had tried several other brands before settling on Canidae mixed with an all natural fish and vegetable wet food - I think it is called Holistic Naturals. Dakota is now eating the recommended 4 cups a day and is putting on noticeable weight and the stools are now solid and formed. Dakota too was bright, energetic, shiny hair, white teeth totally healthy....just picky, thinner than what we thought was normal and the poo....I've been told from a very trustworthy source of information that GSDs do have "finicky" stomachs and it may take trial and error to find what works...stay away from foods with too many fillers...humans can't digest corn, neither can your dog!!!

An excerpt from Tony Vigorito’s third novel, “Love and Other Pranks”: “Merlin was certain he’d met the female version of himself, and he was in love, baby, in love like a fool in fretless free fall off a blackfoot daisy–bedazzled cliff, and my is that breeze refreshing! Sure, he was now an accessory to grand larceny, but that was nothing compared to this infraction.”
There have been some downright oppressive, fiery, violent stories in the news lately. I like to recognize the results of such aggression and hubris— the uncomfortable or even morbid parts of life—not only as appreciable aesthetics, but as settings, textures, character traits in a sort of grand play.

Presentation on theme: "BELLWORK: Unit 2 Intro Read pgs. 59-60 and answer the following: 1.What was a key issue the new nations had to deal with in the “nation building” period?"— Presentation transcript:
BELLWORK: Unit 2 Intro Read pgs. 59-60 and answer the following: 1.What was a key issue the new nations had to deal with in the “nation building” period? 2.What types of governments were present in the Americas? 3.Why was the political situation in Latin America and the Caribbean different than the US and Canada? 4.What was the difference between the Liberal and Conservative factions of government in LA & Caribbean? 5.How did revolutions in the Americas impact the treatment of slaves and natives? 6.THINKER: In one sentence, explain the main goal/objective of unit 2.
Discussion How did the Revolutionary period impact trade between countries in the Americas? Make a prediction How will relations between France, England and the US change post- revolution? When discussing war, historians often divide people into two groups – Hawks and Doves. What is the difference between the two?
The War of 1812 A war that neither side wanted, but both seemed incapable of stopping.
Foreign Relations post-Revolutionary Period In the early 1800’s France and Britain victimized the United States. Navies of both countries seized 1,500 American merchant ships. By 1807, the British had captured 10,000 American sailors. (Most were forced to serve in British military) Questions for notes! Questions for discussion!
The U.S.S. Chesapeake Explain the Chesapeake Incident. In 1806, Royal Navy deserters joined the crew of the USS Chesapeake British admiral issued orders that any warship could search the Chesapeake for deserters. On June 22, 1807, the British ship, Leopard, encountered it and requested a search Chesapeake captain, James Barron refused to allow a search The British fired, killing 3 Americans and wounding 20. The British arrested four men How did President Jefferson respond to the Chesapeake Incident? He passed the Embargo Act!
H.M.S. Shannon Leading Her Prize, the American Frigate Chesapeake, into Halifax, Nova Scotia
Causes of the War of 1812 Describe the causes of the War of 1812. British blockade of US ships stopped flow of goods to Napoleonic Europe Search and seizure of neutral US trade ships & cargo by France and England Impressment of American sailors into the British Royal Navy British support of Natives against American expansion Possible American desire to annex Canada
Discussion In your opinion, why did the British enforce Impressment? Was there any way for the U.S. to stop this? In your opinion, which side do you support? Are you a hawk? (The U.S. should declare war to protect economic interests and territory) Or are you a dove? (war is unnecessary, compromise is achievable) Was there an alternative option to war?
Embargo Act Describe the purpose of the Embargo Act. Was it successful? President Jefferson signed the Embargo Act which stopped the export of goods and forbade American ships from sailing for foreign ports. Jefferson thought that by depriving European countries of American products they would stop harassing the young nation………… he was wrong. The Embargo Act had almost no effect on Britain and France. Instead, recession and unemployment swept the United States. Jefferson left office in 1809 but not before he convinced Congress to repeal the Embargo Act. It was now up to new president, James Madison, to solve foreign issues.
Discussion In your opinion, do you think an embargo is an effective way to punish or isolate a country? Are there any American embargoes in place today? Where? Mali - forced Juntas to give power back and re-install National Constitution. (April 2012) China – by EU & US; arms embargo (1989) Iran – embargo to ban nuclear, missile and many military exports; started in 1979, increased every year; height in 2010. North Korea – arms embargo (2006) Cuba – arms, consumer goods, money (1960) Japan – embargo of animal products due to radiation from 2011 earthquake Syria – EU and US ban on oil imports and arms (2012)
British aide to Native Americans In your opinion, why would the British want to aide Native Americans? Do you think they had an ulterior motive? During the process of colonization, British soldiers killed Natives, so why would the Natives side with them?
British Aide to Native Americans Who was Tecumseh? Leader of Shawnee Formed a confederation of other tribes and allied with British & British Canadians Goal was to establish an American Indian nation under British protection
Canadian Involvement How was Canada involved in this conflict?
Fighting the War of 1812 Napoleon still controlled parts of Europe. During the first two years, England focused on defeating Napoleon, so they fought a defensive battle in the Americas. This will eventually change in 1814, when Napoleon is defeated
Fighting the War of 1812 What was the Battle of Trafalgar? How did this effect the War of 1812? What fighting strategies were used by both sides in the War of 1812? Throughout the conflict, US proclaimed their “neutrality.” To what extent were they actually neutral?
Divisions within the U.S. Southern “War Hawks” –free trade –Annexation of Ohio- Wabash country –Blamed the British for providing Natives with weapons –Some argue their real support was to gain valuable land in Canada New England “War Doves” –Impressment was exaggerated –merchants were still making money from British trade –Sympathy with British against Napoleon –Federalists opposed acquisition of Canada (afraid it would strengthen Republican party) Explain the difference in United States’ opinions regarding the War of 1812.
Politics within the War of 1812 In your opinion, why did the U.S. focus their fighting on England, when France was also attacking American ships? How did the war change when President Madison was elected in 1810? Would begin trade with either country if they respected U.S. neutrality. If either accepted, the U.S. would forbid trade with the other. France ended blockade England refused until Lord Liverpool became Prime Minister. Liverpool did not support war and ended search and seizure orders. If England agreed to end the war, why did President Madison still declare war? It took three weeks for the message to get to the U.S. On June 18, 1812 – Madison declared war.
Fighting the War of 1812 Explain America’s “three-pronged invasion.” Was it successful? General Hull would attack at Detroit and head east Second invasion would cross Niagara The third would secure Montreal (here, they would stop British forces fighting in Upper Canada) Operation was a failure; Hull surrendered
Fighting the War of 1812 Describe the efforts of the American navy in the War of 1812. Early defeats signified U.S. naval superiority, but they were still no match for the British battleships. Royal Navy blockaded U.S. coast and ports US Navy defeated England in their defense of the Great Lakes. How does England’s military strategy change after the defeat of Napoleon? The British launched a three-pronged invasion against the U.S. (burned the White House)
Painting of combat between U.S.S. Constitution & H.M.S. Guerriere by: Michael Corne
The Battle of Thames: Battle between the Americans and American Indians in Ontario, Canada. Tecumseh is killed in battle which marked the end of any threat from the Native Americans
End of the War of 1812 What did the Treaty of Ghent declare? Signed on Christmas Eve, 1814 Ended the war (acted more as an armistice than a treaty) Both sides agreed to return to pre-1812 borders War ended in a stalemate Why do you think the Treaty did not include anything about Native territory or impressment?
Battle of New Orleans Explain the causes/effects of the Battle of Orleans. British attempted to capture New Orleans and seize control of Mississippi River. Americans under command of General Andrew Jackson Greatest U.S. victory of the war (U.S. only suffered 100 casualties, compared to England’s 2,000) Important because it ended British operations in the U.S., and marked the start of Jackson’s march to presidency.
Before he became the 7 th president of the U.S., Jackson was a successful military general. He led forces that stopped Native American uprisings in the South in 1814 He also led the Battle of Orleans Became President 14 years later…….
Effects of the War of 1812 List three effects of the War of 1812. British kept Canada Britain realized they needed to improve relations with the U.S. Rush-Bagot Treaty reduced naval forces on the Great Lakes Britain fortified border (the U.S. never invaded)
Effects of the War of 1812 Why did this conflict, even though it was considered a stalemate, improve relations between the U.S. and England? How do you think the Native Americans were affected by the War of 1812?
Questions in the reading: 80-86 1.Explain the Chesapeake Incident 2.How did President Jefferson respond to the Chesapeake Incident? 3.Describe the purpose of the Embargo Act. Was it successful? 4.Describe the causes of the War of 1812. 5.Who was Tecumseh? 6. How was Canada involved in this conflict? 7.What was the Battle of Trafalgar?

Why did the British use this? 3.Make a prediction how will Native Americans become involved in this conflict? 4.What was the Embargo Act?

HK Sprint Star Inspiration Entry For Aust Gr1 Lightning
Expatriate Australian trainer John Moore told the South China Morning Post that Australian-bred 5YO gelding Inspiration (Flying Spur-La Bamba, by Last Tycoon) who won last weekend's Gr1 Hong Kong International Sprint (1200m) at Sha Tin (ridden by Australian jockey Darren Beadman) will be included among preliminary entries for Australia's Gr1 Lightning Stakes (1000m) at Flemington in Melbourne on January 31. Moore told the newspaper: "Now that he's won at international level, there is really no choice but to press forward with him in races of this kind. I think the main thing with him is to keep him fresh. He's always sprinted very well when he's been trained that way."

Thermoreal Lets You Feel Heat, Cold, And Pain In Virtual Reality
Virtual reality takes your eyes and ears into another world. However, it isn’t quite immersive. So, by making you feel sensations such as pain, cold, and heat Tegway wishes to take you one step closer in the immersion.
The business launched its ThermoReal technology at the HTC Vive X accelerator occasion last week at San Francisco. ThermoReal developed a thermoelectric device that translate that feeling as you hold touch controllers in VR and could produce heat and cold upon need. It is a new sort of human-machine port.
Tegway produced a semiconductor device that heats up on one side when you input power into it. Once you put electricity into it the other side becomes cold. This type of technology is already utilized in wine refrigeratorsthat make cold without vibrations because there are no moving parts (that is what you want to preserve the wine better).
The apparatus can become hotter based on the degree of the electric current. I put on a VR headset and held the ThermoReal controller. As something flaming touched, I felt heat. And when something cold touched, I felt the coldness. It was an electrifying experience.
It may be a while before this can be constructed into a VR device. But it is an interesting milestone on the road to full immersion. Applications which use the technology could draw you through over visuals and sound to an experience.
I’ve tried several different thermal haptic devices throughout the course of my VR reporting, but nothing that actually impressed me. Normally the effects are hard to notice because they do not feel particularly cold or hot, and they take to activate that it’s difficult to market the illusion which the effect has been caused by something happening in the digital universe.
I got to try the ThermoReal thermoelectric skin at the demo day in San Francisco another week and it has led me to become a believer in the value of thermal haptics for the first time.
Tegway has filed several patent applications in the areas of fabricating flexible thermoelectric device technologies, hardware design and software, and software algorithms for thermal realism.

A company proposing to build a shipping terminal capable of exporting up to 54 million tons of coal has failed in an effort to shortcut the environmental permitting process. The coal export company, SSA Marine, was told it couldn’t repurpose a 1997 permit originally awarded for an entirely different project and would have to apply for a new permit.
The decision deals a major setback to the coal exporter’s effort to build the terminal at Cherry Point, Washington, in northern Puget Sound. County officials received a letter opposing the coal terminal sent by Earthjustice on behalf of Climate Solutions, Sierra Club and RE Sources, explaining why a revision was impermissible and asking it to reject the permit application.
The proposed terminal is the second proposed coal export terminal in Washington State. Vancouver, British Columbia has a coal export terminal but no major coal terminals exist on the west coast of the U.S. With coal-fired power in the U.S. in retreat due to the extreme pollution they generate, coal producers are seeking new markets in China, India and other parts of Asia. Earthjustice is representing clients opposed to exporting a major polluting fuel to be burned offshore.
“The county made the right decision,” said Jan Hasselman, an attorney at Earthjustice. “This is a company that has promised a full and open process, and it has promised the most rigorous environmental protections possible. Both promises rang hollow when they were trying to lock in their ’97 permit.”
“People need to ask about what’s behind this coal export terminal,” he added. “What they’ll learn is it would bring a lot of coal dust pollution here and allow export of one of earth’s most polluting fuels to be burned overseas.”
The rejection of the coal terminal permit application means the coal company will have to start the permitting process all over again. This will provide greater public scrutiny, and the need to comply with tough environmental standards including updated state law protecting Puget Sound’s shorelines.
“Mining, transporting and burning coal fouls our air, pollutes our water, sickens our children and destroys the environment,” said Cesia Kearns, of the Sierra Club’s Coal Free Northwest campaign. “This is a dangerous proposal and we are not going to let the company argue its way out of essential environmental review.”

NIBLEY – A crowd gathered at Nibley City Hall Wednesday evening where artist Larry Winborg unveiled his latest work. The new painting is a collection of more than a dozen scenes that come together to tell Nibley’s story. It will be permanently displayed in the council chambers.
The piece highlights past groups of people that have occupied Cache Valley, such as the Shoshone and the fur trappers. There is also a strong focus on the city’s farming legacy. Winborg, who has strong Nibley ties, included his grandfather’s blacksmith shop alongside two other businesses.
“Really it’s very legitimate because there were only three businesses in Nibley,” he said. “There was a grocery store, a little gas station and my grandfather’s blacksmith shop.”
<iframe src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/qYYCHGdSiLc” frameborder=”0″ width=”560″ height=”315″></iframe>
A focus of the painting is the depiction of the first non-Native American baby born in the valley. According to Nibley Mayor Shaun Dustin, Eliza Cache Stolworthy was born at Elk Horn Ranch on July 17, 1856 to Thomas and Matilda Jenkerson Stolworthy. Dustin said Elk Horn Ranch was the first settlement in the valley and was likely located in present day Nibley.
Winborg said the Native Americans were “fascinated” to hear of the baby’s birth. That interest is represented in the painting.
“They came to see that baby,” he said. “That is what is going on in this scene right here.”
The establishment of the ranch was led by Briant Stringham, but according to Winborg, the first winter was very difficult. The original cowboy settlers lost all but 400 of their 4,000 cows due to the snow and extreme cold.
“They tried to drive some of them back through Sardine Canyon to save them but they didn’t save very many cattle,” he said. “I think it was still a success because it was the beginning of settlement in Cache Valley.”
Other scenes include the city’s historic LDS church building, a pioneer wagon, the Blacksmith Fork River and a horse-drawn school bus.
“There is a lot of stuff here, right? But I think it is all important,” Winborg said.
Mayor Dustin said the Nibley community speaks a lot about its heritage, and said that Winborg’s painting is a good representation of it.
“I not only see Nibley heritage,” Dustin said. “I see Cache Valley.”


A quarrel is the tip of a crossbow arrow, or bolt. A total of 24 have been recovered from early James Fort contexts. Crossbows were favored for hunting because they were powerful, noiseless, used reusable ammunition, and unlike a longbow they weren’t custom-made for the shooter’s height and didn’t require the shooter to be standing, allowing for greater range. This crown-point style quarrel is designed to batter and stun a hunted animal but not penetrate the skin or damage the fur, which was marketable. With its large, heavy head, this quarrel would not have projected too far from the hunter, so small animals like rabbit were probably the target. The name quarrel is derived from the French word “carré,” meaning “square,” because the quarrel typically has a square head.
Finds such as this crossbow element highlight adaptation to the Virginia environment, interactions between the English and local Virginia Indian communities, and change over time in the Jamestown colony. English-made iron crossbow quarrels and longbow projectile points have only been found in contexts on the site which date to the earliest years of the fort, ca. 1607-1610. Upon arrival, the colonists did not know what their relationship would be with local Virginia Indians or what challenges their environment might present. They brought a variety of supplies including defensive weapons such as pistols and rifles and tools for hunting such as crossbows and animal traps.
After the Powhatan attack in 1622, the Crown provided weapons, at the time stored in the Tower of London, to the Virginia Company. Much of the supplies offered were outdated, including 1000 bills, 400 bows, and 800 sheaves of arrows. However, the colonists’ increasing familiarity with Virginia Indians led the English to worry that if their technology and iron projectiles fell into the hands of Virginia Indians, already proficient with stringed weapons, another deadly conflict could occur. The bows and arrows offered by the Crown were diverted to Bermuda instead, and the colony was supplied with firearms that could serve both for hunting or defense.

Saturday Jul 23, 2022
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) Friday approved the federal government's request to charge end-consumers of all power distribution companies, including K-Electric, a uniform tariff and collect the newly-increased base power tariff of Rs7.91 per unit from the consumers in the Financial Year 2022-23.
Early this month, the government raised the base power cost by Rs7.91 per unit in an effort to revive the IMF's delayed Extended Fund Facility (EFF).
In the current fiscal year, the electricity distribution companies will collect an additional Rs893.83 billion from consumers due to the hike. However, this additional tariff would be recovered in three parts, beginning in July 2022 and continuing through October 2022.
The pricing for FY2022-23, which is Rs24.82/kWh on the National Average, is 46.7% or Rs7.91/kWh more than the previously calculated national average tariff of Rs16.81/kWh, according to a statement released by the electricity regulator on Friday. It stated that the Nepra had notified the federal government of the set tariffs.
In accordance with the Nepra Act, the federal government filed a motion for determination of a standard consumer-end tariff containing subsidies and surcharges for all XWDISCOs and K-Electric following this decision.
In its proposal, the government suggested that the base power rate for all distribution companies (DISCOs), including K-Electric, be hiked in three phases: Rs3.50 per unit in July, Rs3.50 per unit beginning in August, and Rs0.91 per unit beginning in October 2022.
The Nepra held a public hearing on this application on July 20 and ultimately granted the federal government's proposal. No increase is suggested for the Life Line and Protected consumer categories. Once the federal government notifies the decision, it will become effective, stated the electricity regulator.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has granted advance clearance for a Rs7.91/unit increase in the base power cost.

The Second Analysis
Philip S. Wagner
Of twenty-two patients I considered six as primarily intellectually defended individuals whose involvement in any overt transference interreaction was negligible. Three of the six had had more than one prior analytic experience, and of these I learned that two in later years arranged for additional analytic work. These were all individuals of considerable attainment who returned to analysis at the insistence of their spouses with renewed feelings of depression and discouragement.
Four patients presented chaotic transference interaction, and all came for additional analysis out of feelings of desperation and isolation. Two of these arranged for additional therapy in later years. One required electroshock therapy shortly before his death at the age of 58.
Eight patients I considered as seeking to maintain an idealized static transference relationship, and succeeded pretty much in maintaining this façade through most of the second analysis. Most of their hostility was directed towards their former analyst. Of these four, three had been in psycho-analytic therapy more than once previously, and two went on for further work in later years. One of the latter patients who terminated with me after great protestations of appreciation and friendship, quite as she had terminated with her first analyst, later described me to her third analyst as also a hypocrite and scoundrel.
Four patients came with a preference for the type of hysteric involvement described in the cases of Helen and Mary. One of these wrote me in later years, after marriage and several children, for suggestions regarding further analytic work in a distant city. With these four patients I felt
more had been achieved in terms of emotional stability and growth, and a capacity for reciprocal honesty, than with the other eighteen.
Several colleagues have questioned the appropriateness of considering a second experience a 'second analysis'. A number of these patients could never become involved in an analytic situation where transference awareness is the primary learning experience. 'Psycho-analytic therapy' has been suggested as more descriptive of the technique required in these instances. Also, some patients seek a second analyst to understand and conclude their previous analytic experience. The analysis of the first psycho-analytic experience constitutes for some the main work of the second experience. But when in most cases there is a different beginning, a different course, and a different ending, I have felt that the rubric 'second analysis' was applicable.
I wish to emphasize that for most of these patients there was no justification for considering the first analysis a 'failure'. In most cases all that could be elicited through further transference involvement, through exploration of unconscious fantasies, and the essential genetic facts, had been uncovered in the first experience. An unusual degree of defensiveness, primarily denial, had made acceptance and consolidation of the prior experience impossible without a change in analysts.
I have suggested that in most of these patients the experience of transference was unacceptable, and that if any technical error existed it derived from the first therapist's insistence that the patient work 'analytically' and accept the reality of the transference. As one patient said in retrospect: 'The man was utterly unrealistic in demanding that I trust him. The prospect of abandoning myself to this degree of trust provoked in me a feeling of panic and I could only remain silent.'
In classical analysis a degree of trust and intimacy is required which may be beyond the capacity of some patients, and the analyst need not feel that his contribution and effort is thereby diluted or modified. Our primary goal is to assist the patient in finding relief from his symptoms and in lessening characterological rigidity. We cannot too resolutely insist that the patient fit into the familiar pattern of transferenceregression and resolution. We are only too familiar with patients who are 'well analysed' but are finally most comfortable with characterological traits and interpersonal safeguards which impress others as idiosyncratic or peculiar.
Finally I have referred to the occasional absence of real and meaningful relationships between patient and therapist even at the conclusion of a long therapeutic effort. Sometimes this is consequent on a patient's need to maintain distance even from the person in whom he has placed his greatest trust. But in some cases the analyst's conviction that the analyst is always an analyst, and that the patient is always a patient, deprives both therapist and patient of the basic enriching and gratifying experience—a meaningful human relationship, mutually shared, unencumbered by neurotic limitations or concerns. The final relationship should be real, genuine, and capable of enduring mutual criticism and acceptance. Perhaps the most appropriate comparison is to the maturation of a child-parent relationship. The child becomes the adult, independent, free to judge the parent objectively, and secure in the knowledge that the parent sets no conditions on such judgement or such freedom.

On 1 April 2019, three days after the UK is set to leave the EU, MTD for VAT will come into force for all those business with an annual taxable turnover above the VAT registration threshold.
There remains general concerns over the timeframe for the implementation of MTD-VAT. More than one in three MPs disagreed with the statement that VAT-registered businesses are adequately prepared to meet the compulsory requirements that their business will need to meet, when MTD-VAT comes into force.
However, MPs were generally more positive that the scheme would ultimately lead to beneficial outcomes for the nation’s SMEs. Nearly half of all MPs surveyed believe that MTD would have a positive effect on SMEs, with only 15% disagreeing with this statement.
A quarter of MPs remained neutral at this stage as to whether MTD would be positive for Britain’s small businesses, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the statement, while 18% said they didn’t know.
Brian Palmer, tax policy expert, AAT said, “While there may be an immediate challenge for those businesses needing to file for VAT under MTD this year, the system is ultimately designed to make life far easier for taxpayers and businesses to regularly and automatically submit returns, rather than panicking to find paper receipts. In time, any pain associated with switching to a new way of reporting tax returns will become a distant memory.
“HMRC’s decision to initially introduce MTD for VAT reporting only, and even then only for businesses with VAT-able above the mandatory registration threshold of £85,000, means that many of the smallest firms remain exempt, for now, from digital reporting. For those that are required to report, we can only hope that the message about what needs to be done in preparation has got through.”
Jason Piper, manager, tax and business law at ACCA said, “As the minister for MTD, Mel Stride’s recent update to the House on its progress was interesting. The Minister rightly stated that MTD is an important modernisation of the tax system.
“Throughout this whole change process, it’s been increasingly important to bring the relevant business sectors with the government on this policy journey. Some have been left by the wayside, and so it is heartening to hear that HMRC will be expanding its communication activity so that awareness increases.”

Oṣogbo pronounced Oshogbo is a Yoruba town that is sometimes referred to as the heart of Nigerian art culture. Its art history cannot stand without the Mbari Mbayo, a club that was established for African writers, artists, and musicians in Ibadan before its concept was transferred to Oshogbo.
It all started with Jewish German scholar and entrepreneur Ulli Beier. After moving to Nigeria with his Austrian artist wife Susanne Wenger, the two wanted to break the already existing gap between Whites and Nigerians.
Beier made a conscious effort to know the Nigerian cultural environment and founded the ‘Black Orpheus’ magazine in Ibadan in 1957. It soon gained an international market and was patronized by writers and poets both local and international, with Yoruba text translations available.
Wenger, after separating from her husband Beier, formed a circle of artists known as the “New Sacred Art.” She took on the project of rebuilding the Osun Holy Grove in 1960 and became a custodian, nurturing and preserving the place. Today, that area is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.
Beier, having founded the first Mbari Club in Ibadan in 1961, held art exhibitions to showcase the works of locals. It was during one such exhibition that he met dramatist and composer Duro Ladipo who converted his father’s house to open Oshogbo’s own Mbari Mbayo club. (Mbari was an Igbo word for creation).
Oshogbo was then a city of 250,000 people, about 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Ibadan. Ladipo transformed his father’s house into an art gallery and theatre where he produced his plays. In order for the club to appeal to the locals in Oshogbo, Ladipo constantly made references to Yoruba mythology, drumming, dance, and poetry and soon developed a kind of Yoruba opera, according to one account.
The Oshogbo club evolved so much so that it did not only cater to artists and intellectuals but the everyday people in the community as well. Beier and Ladipo, with their ‘Oshogbo school’ in the 1960s, nurtured unemployed primary-school dropouts into fine artists whose works were a true blend of the foreign influences and their Oshogbo traditions. They created fresh and sophisticated art.
The Mbari Mbayo club in Oshogbo became a home where their works would be on display, a move which helped the local art scene to thrive and appeal to international markets.
This movement birthed some of Oshogbo’s greatest artists, including Rufus Ogundele, Adbisi Fabunmi, and Prince Taiwo Olaniyi Oyewale-Toyeje Oyelale Osuntoki, popularly known as Twins Seven-Seven, whose work is influenced by traditional Yoruba mythology and culture, and gods.
Ogundele’s works are a fine blend of the European artist’s influence and traditional Yoruba culture. The power of Ogun, the Yoruba orisha of war, fire, and iron, is a theme that flows through his works.
Fabunmi was a member of the Duro Ladipo ensemble. Be it his yarn paintings or city prints, Fabunmi’s works almost always had the city of Oshogbo as his theme and the Yoruba sculpture effects were also evident in his work.
Today, Oshogbo’s art history is intertwined with the Osogbo Holy Grave, scholar and entrepreneur Beier, Wnger also known as the ‘living goddess’ and dramatist Ladipo.
