June 13, 2007
Niki Smith has already achieved tremendous success with her work and she has yet to graduate from The Cleveland Institute of Art. She has been published in nine anthologies being sold in comic shops and bookstores in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, En
Smith, a third year drawing major from Kansas, chose the Institute for their foundation program because she wanted time to figure out her artistic direction. "I knew that I wanted to make art, and this program reassured me that I wouldn't be forced to make a premature decision," Smith said. In her second year she was in a foundation class taught by drawing professor Troy Richards and found his feedback and work atmosphere to be what she wanted. "I made the decision to go into Drawing, but I still wasn't sure what I wanted to do. While, I loved working with my own concepts and ideas, I don't feel I'm made for the gallery world," Smith said.
After hearing from several teachers that her work was sequential, like a comic, she decided to try to make one herself. This comic endeavor started in April 2006, and she hasn't looked back since. Smith found the Drawing department to be a perfect fit for what she wanted. "The strict distinctions between fine art and applied art often blur quite comfortably. Although I'm drawing for consumers, I'm not working with clients," she said.
Smith has been influenced by Japanese anime and manga however she likes to stretch her style to what best fits the tone of the story. She has been published in books including Hungry Hearts 1, Panik Elektro 5, The Girls Guide to Guys Stuff, Yuri Monogatari 5, and Best New Manga V2 among several others. Best New MangaV2 boasts that it features the most exciting new work by the brightest young talents in the field.
Smith has exhibited her work at the Institute's Reinberger Galleries, the Coffee House Gallery, the Institute's Foundation show, Asterisk Gallery, and Arts Collinwood Gallery. She is currently working on developing longer works and hopes to have books of her own within the next few years. Until then, you can see the works she has done at http://www.niki-smith.com/.

FULL OF INTEREST; LIVELY AND EXCITING; BRIGHT.
CHARACTERIZED BY SIMPLICITY.
I'm a bit of a contradiction when it comes to style and design.
I love Modern architecture AND Victorian era architecture, all white everything AND bright colors, Cary Grant AND Tom Petty, clean simple lines AND texture, a glass of wine at an art gallery opening AND dancing in the lawn at a Classic Rock concert, minimal type AND retro funky graphics... hence the name - The Classy Hippie.
Juxtaposition and Contrast are my jam.
So, when I discovered Emmanuelle Moureaux's work last week - I was in love. Ever since adopting minimalism myself, I've gotten rid of A LOT of color and taken it back to the basics [black, white and gray.] But, since doing so, I've really missed color in my life.
I don't regret nearly getting rid of all color in my life, because before - it was all just a jumbled mess. By taking it back to B&W and slowly reintroducing color, I've established what is necessary and basic to my lifestyle // design style and now I can strategically start adding bits of color that I love and that bring value to my life, home & work.
That's what I love about Colorful Minimalism. It's still clean & simple but also bright & lively, which is something a lot of minimal designs get criticized for NOT being. Emmanuelle's work is the manifestation of that perfect balance, harmoniously living in both worlds.
This particular color palette and style is PERFECT for a future and long-term devotion of mine - UGH - I can't wait to share, but it's still way too soon right now.
Until then, be sure and catch up on any past Color Stories you may have missed below.
Love & Blessings,

Hopes of V-shaped bounce grow as vacancies at 62pc of last year’s
HIRING is back as the economy reopens and bosses take on more staff, raising hopes of a jobs recovery after months of pain during lockdown.
More than 1.1m positions are available in Britain according to the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), including an extra 125,000 new postings in the past week.
The figures will boost economists predicting a rapid “V-shaped” bounce back. They were revealed as US data showed that the number of people being laid off each week across the pond is continuing to fall.
Back in the UK, online adverts for vacancies now stand at 62pc of their 2019 level – up from just over half in late July and a low of 42pc in May, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Previously closed industries are bringing back furloughed workers after being allowed to restart, with growth building in arts, entertainment, pubs and restaurants as the nation inches back to normality.
Fewer than 14pc of all private sector staff are now paid to stay at home through the taxpayer subsidy scheme, down by more than half from the peak several months ago.
Over 19 in every 20 businesses are now open or planning a return within weeks. Demand is surging for builders, gardeners and lorry drivers, the REC found, as well as childminders – and, less reassuringly, debt collectors.
It came as the number of new jobless claims in the US slowed again to 963,000 last week, the first time since the pandemic struck that the key indicator has fallen below 1m. The drop is bigger than economists expected and down from 1.2m for the previous seven days.
Lydia Boussour, of Oxford Economics, said it was an encouraging sign and suggests the jobs recovery is regaining momentum following a damaging second wave of infections that forced states such as California, Florida and Texas to reintroduce restrictions.
However, she pointed out that 28m workers are still claiming some form of jobless benefit in a sign of the mountain facing America’s economy.
Before the pandemic, around 200,000 new claims were typically made per week.
Meanwhile in France unemployment fell by 271,000 in the second quarter, but this was mainly because large numbers of jobless have given up looking for work and so no longer qualify as officially “unemployed”.
The employment rate dropped from 66pc to 64.4pc, according to French official agency Insee.

Nevertheless, when the Costa Rican-born entrepreneur, now residing within the Bay Space, noticed how local weather change was affecting espresso growers world wide — espresso is the fifth-most polluting crop within the worth chain — she wished to create a espresso product that tasted good, however was additionally sustainable.

Eighty-seven-year old Mary Trauger asks nothing in return for the crocheted shawls she makes for virtually anyone in need of warmth and comfort in a time of need.
“Aunt Mary,” as she’s affectionately come to be known as by her friends and family, is a widow who lives alone in her ranch-style home in Willow Grove.
Physically and visually impaired, Trauger has been making “prayer shawls,” as she calls them, for almost 10 years, a labor of love that her church has come to recognize as an immeasurable service to the community.
Hers is a rare story of faith, love and labor from her living room, where she keeps her mind and her fingers active, knitting a Hail Mary into every stitch.
“My mother always said, you have to give of yourself,” said Trauger.
“I remember when I was a child – 7 or 8 years old, I used to have to go and thread needles for a lady down the street, and I would say to my mother, ‘Why do I have to go? She has daughters.’ My mother would say, ‘Because I said so.’”
A daughter of Italian immigrants, Traugerlearned to sew and crochet early on. Her mother taught her how to hand make her own doll clothes then, later for her nieces, mittens. Eventually she was making Christmas stockings for her grand-nieces and nephews and baby blankets for everyone in between and then afghans by the dozens.
Now, she’s devoted herself to making these prayer shawls – each one blessed by her parish priest and given to a person in need, regardless of their religious affiliation.
During a recent interview at Trauger’s home in Willow Grove, Metro asked to see the stacks of thank-you cards Trauger had received over the years.
The stack piled over a foot high, all hand-written and addressed to Trauger, as if drafted with the same love invested into every stitch of herneedlework.
Imelda Kormos is a parishioner at St. David’s Parish in Willow Grove and a friend of Trauger. She helped get the word out about the prayer shawls and connect Trauger with recipients. She did the math, and tallied that, to date, Trauger has made 321 prayer shawls.
“Over the years, when you’ve lost someone and you have that shawl…” she shook her head.
“Our deacon, this past Sunday, was talking about people giving of themselves,” she went on to say.
“He mathematically figured out that – as of last Sunday – she had made 318 shawls, [she’s since made three more]. At 45 hours it takes for her to make a shawl, that’s 14,310 hours, with praying 150 Hail Marys an hour, that’s 2.15 million Hail Marys that she has done for other people.”
Judith Shepherd, a teacher in Conestoga High School, said there was a comfort level in receiving one of these because it “gives you energy.”
“I was using it as I was recuperating from a number of surgeries this past year,” she told Metro.
“I passed it on just this past week to a friend of mine who was dying and has subsequently died, but I think one of the things that is so remarkable about an effort such as this is that we can accept an act of kindness from strangers when we’re vulnerable. It’s so just unexpected,” she said.
Each prayer shawl is stitched with a tag, “Made with Tender Loving Care by Mary P. Trauger.”
“It’s a labor of love, and I love doing it,” Trauger smiled behind her glasses.


Wyddfa summit to become highest point with full fire broadband as cable laid along train route
Engineers have started work to bring ultrafast fibre broadband along the train route to the summit of Yr Wyddfa in time for next year’s summer season.
The mammoth engineering task will involve running the 1 Gigabits per second (Gbps) capable infrastructure from the nearest exchange in Llanberis all the way to the summit of Wales’ highest mountain.
Openreach engineers will be working closely with the Snowdon Mountain Railway to run seven kilometres of fibre cable along the railway that carries nearly 150,000 passengers to the top of the popular tourist destination every year.
Once completed the mountain standing at 1,085 metres will be the highest point in the UK with Full Fibre connectivity. The Snowdon Summit Café, which has remained closed since 2019 as a result of the Covid lockdown, will benefit from the improved connectivity as visitors will be able to pay for goods using contactless.
Among those local residents that have already benefited from this work are the Morris family that live in the highest house in Wales – nearly halfway up Yr Wyddfa. With little to no connectivity before ultrafast broadband was delivered by Openreach, the technology has been an early Christmas gift game-changer for the family.
Eira Morris, said: “We live off-grid and have never had a telephone landline.
“For 20 years we have had to stand at a window to answer mobile phone calls. Living in the heart of the National Park putting up telegraph poles for a landline was never an option, regulations here did not allow it.
“Having the fastest fibre optic broadband is some kind of miracle. Thanks to Openreach, the engineering team and staff members working in very challenging conditions to get it to Yr Wyddfa. We are extremely grateful for this”
It’s also hoped that the improved connectivity will play a vital role in assisting search and rescue teams that are frequently called upon to find lost or injured walkers on Yr Wyddfa.
Every year more than 600,000 walkers make their way to the top of Yr Wyddfa and traditionally search and rescue teams have to rely on radio signal to communicate with one another on the mountain when searching for those that need help.
This method of radio communication can be impacted by heavy fog. When the Full Fibre infrastructure is in place on the top of the Wyddfa it’s hoped that a small 5G point will be installed that will significantly improve how search and rescue teams can communicate in the future.
The new ultrafast and reliable broadband connection will also mean that search and rescue teams will be able to access vital real-time data, such as accurate localised weather forecasts, which could help save valuable time in a rescue operation, and potentially lives.
Suzanne Rutherford, Chief Engineer for Wales, said: “To say that bringing Full Fibre to the top of the Wyddfa is a huge task is an understatement.
“You just have to look at the sheer scale of Yr Wyddfa to appreciate how big a job this is for our engineers and that’s before you even take into consideration weather conditions.
“We’re all extremely proud at Openreach of the work we’re doing to not only bring Full Fibre to what will be the highest point across all of the UK but also the improved connectivity that it will bring for visitors to the summit, families that live under the shadow of Yr Wyddfa and of course how our technology could potentially save lives.”
Marty Druce, Railway Operations Manager at Snowdon Mountain Railway, said: “Full fibre broadband to the summit will be extremely beneficial for us as a business and will greatly improve communications from Llanberis to Hafod Eryri on the summit of Snowdon, Yr Wyddfa.
“It will be hugely beneficial to the local community, visitors and rescue services, with improved connectivity on the mountain.
“Our operations team here at Snowdon Mountain Railway are more than happy to assist in the logistical transportation for the Local Openreach engineers, fibre and equipment along the route of Snowdon.”

For the price of a cup of coffee a month you can help us create an independent, not-for-profit, national news service for the people of Wales, by the people of Wales.
I know why they are doing this, but I still see it as an affront. Me? I would demolish the cafe, dig up the railway and take away the steps. Return it to its natural state. Then people would be less likely to go meandering up on a whim. Fewer of the flips flops and shorts brigade with no maps. Take away the safety net of “well I can always have a Costa at the top and take the train down if it gets a bit nippy”
Okay….that just leaves the question “Why?” …as in why the f*** is this even needed?… … I tell you what, why don’t they put games arcade and a selfie booth and a madame Tussauds and a candy floss machine up there as well? ….and whilst we are at it, why not build a road on it too? That way people too damn lazy and stupid to do anything more than fill their faces with poisonous food, binge-watch crud on television whilst caressing their phones like a masturbating chimp can go up there and take a picture of them,selves pulling an… Read more »
I love the typo in the heading. ‘Full fire broadband’. It kind of crystallises exactly what needs to be done to this idea… burn it. Is this really being installed for the search and rescue team? I doubt that somehow.
Ia ceffyl da ydi ewyllys
“The mammoth engineering task…”. 😳🙄. Laying a cable long-side a railway track? Good grief. What a ridiculous statement.
“ visitors will be able to pay for goods using contactless.”. So even more litter.
Overall, a most feeble set of excuses for the project.
Who employees these w€%#$.
The family in highest home in Wales gets (best) broadband service for first time…
Is there such a thing as mountain envy as well as silver linings…
Psalm 68:16 “we gaze in envy, you rugged mountain, at Mount Zion, where God has chosen to live “…


With much of the country experiencing drought conditions, Florida has taken a lead by creating an advertising campaign and awareness program called “Think Two.” The goal is to water your lawn only when it needs it, which is generally twice a week. If you experience a heavy rainfall, it could be less. Plus, watering your grass too often leads to shallow root systems and promotes weed growth, disease, and fungus. Many municipalities have strict watering days and times, which can vary by house number, side of the street, or some variation of square roots and prime numbers, so be aware. Really, this approach is not only good for the grass, it’s good for the environment. When available use grey or reclaimed water for your irrigation—it is unrestricted and keeps water out of the filtration plants, putting it back into the environment where we most need it.

A young woman found a tiny motherless kitten lying on side of the street all alone. She knew she had to save her.
About a month ago, Jieyan Ow from Malaysia was on her way to lunch when she spotted a kitten on the street, who was barely able to move. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the kitten had an injured leg and was too weak to cry for help.
Many people passed her by, and the mother cat was nowhere to be found. Knowing that the kitten wouldn't survive on her own, Jieyan scooped her up and rushed to get her help.
"She was estimated to be about three weeks old, weighing only 260 grams," Jieyan told Love Meow. "Her leg joint was dislocated."
Since the kitten was very young, they hoped that the leg would heal on its own as she recovered at home.
Jieyan, who knew very little about kittens, got a crash course on how to care for orphaned feline babies and began around-the-clock feeding for the calico. "I hadn't handled a kitten before, so I had no clue how to do it. Kitten Lady on YouTube was a life savior."
The first two days were tough as the kitten was very scared and refused to eat. Jieyan stayed by her side and tried to be a source of comfort for her so she wouldn't feel alone.
Slowly, the kitten warmed up to her human, accepted her pets and began to perk up.
Next thing they knew, she was scarfing down the food and even purred for the first time.
They named her Baby Tiger. She was no longer afraid and quickly became attached to her rescuer.
A week later, they found a large lump near her leg likely due to her injury. "Fortunately, we managed to bring her to the vet just in time," Jieyan added.
With vet care and medication, Baby Tiger was on the mend. Over the next one and a half weeks, she began to use her leg more often. When she fully regained her strength and mobility, she couldn't stop playing.
Watch her rescue journey in this video:
"Baby Tiger was getting so playful, curious and very clingy to humans," Jieyan told Love Meow.
"She has big round eyes, purrs a lot and demands attention all the time. She needs to be cuddled to sleep every day."
Tiger is now seven weeks old. She's blossomed into a happy, healthy and rambunctious little kitty. Her leg has healed up nicely and she can run and jump just like any other kitten.
"She is able to scamper around the house at lightning speed. We are all very proud and love her to bits."
Jieyan never expected to save a kitten from the street and have her heart completely stolen by something so small.
Baby Tiger has come a long way. Now she makes sure her human is never by herself and follows her everywhere she goes.

In addition to the technical changes, the instrument panel has been redesigned a new crash bar that allows cylinder protection covers to be mounted appears in the optional accessories range.
BMW R 1200 GS Adventure
The same amends as the GS model but as of model year 2017, the colour Ocean Blue metallic matt is no longer available.

Find out how the 13-year-old Wilmington baker reeled in the top prize on the Food Network series.
Wilmington’s Graysen Pinder is Food Network’s newest Kids Baking Champion after winning in the season finale episode Monday.
The 13-year-old beat out 12 other bakers from across the country this season, which premiered in January. Pinder, a Wilmington Christian Academy student, took home $25,000 and will get her own feature in Food Network Magazine as the grand prize.
In back-to-back episodes Monday night, Pinder showed off her technical skills first in the semi-final, creating 3D dinosaur cookies and then in the finale -- a chocolate cake decorated as a pineapple.
In the "Dinomighty" challenge, Pinder used her grandmother’s cookie recipe, which uses heavy whipping cream, to bake stegosaurus cookies with a hint of orange. While other bakers struggled to get their cookies upright and hold a 3D shape, Pinder easily executed the challenge. Judges only found fault with the twist they gave bakers -- creating a dino "egg." Pinder made a cake egg judges Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman deemed as "too gooey" and "too sweet."
The judges noted that her cookies, however, were the best looking dino cookies of the day.
After advancing to the finals with two other bakers in the episode Monday, Pinder again wowed judges with her flavors and technical skills.
The bakers chose fruits in which they could decorate their cakes in the finale, but any flavor was allowed. Pinder went with a chocolate cake she said she was saving for the occasion she made it to the final episode. She baked seven chocolate layers with cream and caramel almond filling, then used a dot and smear icing technique to make it look like a pineapple.
"I’ve been working for this for nine weeks, so I’m ready," Pinder told the camera.
The judges gave the cake high praise with Goldman calling it "stupid good," and Bertinelli at a momentary loss for words. Pinder did however lose points from judges for using a vegetable shortening as the base for her icing on the outside of the cake.
Overall this season, Pinder had some highs and lows. She finished in the bottom two bakers for two episodes, but made strong comebacks as the winning baker for two consecutive episodes in the season before winning it all Monday.
She plans to donate some of her winnings to the Humane Society and will also invest in her own small baking business, Gimme Some Shugga, where she takes orders for special occasions cakes, cookies, cupcakes and more on Instagram.

From a member's diary.
Thursday 3 September 2015
At the beginning of the Cambridge People's Assembly meeting last night, Stuart urged that we should discuss organizing a demonstration in support of the thousands of migrants presently being refused settlement in Europe: those abandoned at sea in unfit boats, repelled by wire and tear gas, held in camps, or deported on chartered flights. (The agenda, which I'd drafted, was silent.) Of course we did discuss it, and we agreed that the situation demanded a response from us as an anti-austerity organization.*
For the sponsors of austerity, politicians and others, the immigrant is a scapegoat. The politics that produces the conditions of scarcity holds out for blame one who would share them (although in this respect as in important others, austerity retraces earlier conservative lines). In the responsive imagination, the migrant represents need: one more claim on lean resources and short, precarious work. Except that he is never one more. He is one of imagined millions; or if black, perhaps (as for the prime minister) part of a simply countless, 'swarming' mass. As such he evokes a frightening need without limit.
As just implied, racism and – the word's still new to my pen – antiblackness organize this picture. It exploits the persistent figure that maps whites to adults and blacks to children: irrational, demanding, improvident, and apt for adult discipline. (See the recent, wild calls for the government to use the army against the Eritrean, Somalian, and Sudanese migrants trying to reach Britain from Calais.) But the antiblack programme is total, reaching far enough that for example white migrants from Bulgaria, Romania, and other Eastern European countries can be associated in the press with the notionally darker Roma people who compose large minorities in some of them.†
These notes summarize a first understanding. They're bearings, I hope, for a new attention and a new engagement.
† To seek to illustrate antiblackness with an effect it had on white people always seemed to me unsatisfactory. Reading my words again, it seems intolerable. I now wish these lines to be struck out as mistaken. 9 February 2017.

Just wanna say thanks for all the eclipse
photos everyone posted yesterday. You
looked beautiful in your glasses. Your
sidewalks looked lovely covered in
crescents. I am grateful to live under the
same confident sun, the same honest moon
as you. I like that you shared your view - the
stanza of sky that was so uniquely yours and
so undeniably ours. Maybe I'm projecting.
Maybe I'm reflecting. Anyway I like that on a
humble Monday, at roughly the same time, in
different shades of the same light, across this
tender and arrogant and
clumsy country, we looked up
to each other.

An extract on #wildstyle
Wildstyle commonly includes a set of arrows, curves and letters which have been so transformed as to be rendered arcane to the eyes of non-graffiti artists. It has also been common practice to incorporate 3D elements into the pieces. Letter structures are therefore rendered to add depth of visual perception of the work. Many artists have different elements to add to their wildstyle that gain that writer a good deal of respect within the graffiti scene, especially if one creates his or her own style and stays original and creative. Veteran artists tend to go for more complicated forms of wildstyle in which the types are hard to read but broad in creativity. Getting one's style mastered is key to achieving this success.
The term "wildstyle" was popularized by the Wild Style graffiti crew formed by Tracy 168 of the Bronx. Formerly a street gang with over 500 members, the Bronx-based Wild Style crew is still active. Members include the founder Tracy 168, Cope2, T-Kid 170, Lava I&II, Taki 183, Daze, Comet, Blade, Futura 200, Dan Plasma, Jimmy Ha-Ha and Yip. Complex and elaborate graffiti writing had been called numerous terms such as "mechanical letters." It was founded by Rif, Phase II and Stan 153. Kase II later introduced "computer-rock". The stylistic approach advanced at the same time Wild Style crew grew large and spread throughout New York City. So many members executed the complex style that eventually the crew's name was associated with the complex style.

Why Your Furnace Has a Strange Smell
As the weather turns cold and you switch from cooling to heating your home, you might be worried about weird furnace smells filling the air. Learn what the most common furnace smells mean and how concerned you should be about each one.
The Furnace Smells Musty
Musty furnace odors almost always indicate mold growth somewhere in the HVAC system. To avoid subjecting your family to allergy-inducing mold, address this problem as soon as possible.
A damp air filter can harbor mold, so eliminating the smell might be as easy as replacing the filter. If that doesn’t work, the AC evaporator coil mounted near the furnace could be to blame. This component collects condensation, which could trigger mold growth. You’ll need a professional’s help to inspect and clean the evaporator coil. When all else fails, consider scheduling air duct cleaning. This service removes hidden mold, no matter where it’s growing in your ductwork.
The Furnace Smells Like Rotten Eggs
This is one of the most concerning furnace smells because it most likely indicates a gas leak. The utility company adds a useful substance known as mercaptan to the natural gas supply to make leaks easier to detect.
If you notice a rotten egg smell near your furnace or coming from your vents, shut off the heater immediately. If you know where the main gas supply valve is, shut that off too. Then, evacuate your home and call 911, followed by your gas company. Don’t reenter the house until a professional tells you it’s safe.
The Furnace Has a Sour Stench
If you detect a sour smell that stings your nose while standing near64} the furnace, this could mean the heat exchanger has cracked. This vital component contains68} combustion fumes, including carbon monoxide, so a crack could pump unsafe levels of CO gas into your home.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal, so shut off your furnace right away if you detect a sour odor. Then, contact an HVAC professional for an inspection. Consider replacing your furnace if a cracked heat exchanger is to blame. For your continued safety going forward, make sure you have working CO detectors on every floor of your home.
The Furnace Smells Dusty
When you fire up the furnace for the first time every fall, you can expect a dusty odor to fill the house for a few minutes. This is the smell of six months’ worth of dust burning off as the furnace wakes from its summer slumber. As long as the smell dissipates within a day, you have nothing to worry about.
The Furnace Has a Smoky Smell
Natural gas, oil and propane furnaces are combustion appliances, so they vent fumes to the exterior. A smoky smell could mean the flue is blocked, and now fumes are backdrafting into your home. The odor may permeate the entire house, risking your family’s health if you ignore it. So shut down the furnace and call a professional right away to schedule a repair.
The Furnace Smells Like Burning Plastic
Overheating and melting electrical components are the most likely reason for a burning plastic smell to come from your furnace. A failing fan motor is another possibility. If you don’t address the problem, an electrical fire could start, or your furnace could experience irreparable damage. Turn off the heating system immediately and call an HVAC technician for help diagnosing and repairing this weird furnace smell.
The Furnace Has an Oily Smell
If you have an oil furnace, you might detect this odor if the oil filter becomes clogged. Try replacing it to see if that fixes the problem. If the smell lingers for more than a day after completing this step, it could indicate an oil leak. You’ll need help from an HVAC expert to fix this problem.
The Furnace Reeks of Sewer Odors
Sewer gas smells quite similar to rotten eggs, so first rule out the possibility of a natural gas leak. If that’s not the problem, your sewer lines could have an issue, such as a dry trap or sewer leak. Try pouring water down all your drains, including the basement floor drain, to fill dried-out sewer traps. If the smell lingers, you’ll need to contact a sewer line repair company.

Adam: A Sacred Drama. Act 1.
William Cowper 1731 (Berkhamsted) – 1800 (Dereham)
CHORUS OF ANGELS, Singing the Glory of God.
To Heaven's bright lyre let Iris be the bow,
Adapt the spheres for chords, for notes the stars;
Let new-born gales discriminate the bars,
Nor let old Time to measure times be slow.
Hence to new Music of the eternal Lyre
Add richer harmony and praise to praise;
For him who now his wondrous might displays,
And shows the Universe its awful Sire.
O Thou who ere the World or Heaven was made,
Didst in thyself, that World, that Heaven enjoy,
How does thy bounty all its powers employ;
What inexpressive good hast thou displayed!
O Thou of sovereign love almighty source,
Who knowest to make thy works thy love express,
Let pure devotion's fire the soul possess,
And give the heart and hand a kindred force.
Then shalt thou hear how, when the world began,
Thy life-producing voice gave myriads birth,
Called forth from nothing all in Heaven and Earth
Blessed in thy light Eagles in the Sun.
Scene I. -- God The Father. -- Chorus of Angels.
Raise from this dark abyss thy horrid visage,
O Lucifer! aggrieved by light so potent,
Shrink from the blaze of these refulgent planets
And pant beneath the rays of no fierce sun;
Read in the sacred volumes of the sky,
The mighty wonders of a hand divine.
Behold, thou frantic rebel,
How easy is the task,
To the great Sire of Worlds,
To raise his his empyrean seat sublime:
Thither whence pride hath fallen.
From thence with bitter grief,
Inhabitant of fire, and mole of darkness,
Let the perverse behold,
Despairing his escape and my compassion,
His own perdition in another's good,
And Heaven now closed to him, to others opened;
And sighing from the bottom of his heart,
Let him in homage to my power exclaim,
Ah, this creative Sire,
(Wretch as I am) I see,
Hath need of nothing but himself alone
To re-establish all.
The Seraphim Sing.
O scene worth heavenly musing,
With sun and moon their glorious light diffusing;
Where to angelic voices,
Sphere circling sphere rejoices,
How dost thou rise, exciting
Man to fond contemplation
Of his benign creation!
The Cherubim Sing.
The volume of the stars,
The sovereign Author planned,
Inscribing it with his eternal hand,
And his benignant aim
Their beams in lucid characters proclaim;
And man in these delighting,
Feels their bright beams inviting,
And seems, though prisoned in these mortal bars,
Walking on earth to mingle with the stars.
God The Father.
Angels, desert your Heaven! with you to Earth,
That Power descends, whom Heaven accompanies;
Let each spectator of these works sublime
Behold, with meek devotion,
Earth into flesh transformed, and clay to man,
Man to a sovereign lord,
And souls to seraphim.
The Seraphim Sing.
Now let us cleave the sky with wings of gold,
The world be paradise,
Since to its fruitful breast
Now the great Sovereign of our quire descends;
Now let us cleave the sky with wings of gold;
Strew yourselves flowers beneath the step divine,
Ye rivals of the stars!
Summoned from every sphere
Ye gems of heaven, heaven's radiant wealth appear;
Now let us cleave the sky with wings of gold!
God The Father.
Behold, ye springing herbs and new-born flowers,
The step that used to press the stars alone
And the sun's spacious road,
This day begins, along the sylvan scene,
To leave its grand impression;
To low materials now I stretch my hand,
To form a work sublime.
The Angels Sing.
Lament, lament in anguish,
Angel to God rebellious!
See, on a sudden rise
The creature doomed to fill thy radiant seat!
Foolish thy pride took fire
Contemplating thy birth;
But he o'er pride shall triumph,
Acknowledging he sprung from humble dust.
From hence he shall acquire
As much as thou hast lost;
Since he supreme Inhabitant of Heaven
Receives the humble, and dethrones the proud.
God The Father.
Adam, arise, since I do thee impart
A spirit warm from my benignant breath:
Arise, arise, first man,
And joyous let the world
Embrace its living miniature in thee!
Adam. O marvels new, O hallowed, O divine,
Eternal object of the angel host:
Why do I not possess tongues numerous
As now the stars in heaven?
Now then, before
A thing of earth so mean,
See I the great Artificer divine?
Mighty Ruler supernal,
If 'tis denied this tongue
To match my obligation with my thanks,
Behold my heart's affection,

The 12 gauge shotgun is one of the most common and useful all-purpose firearms. Shotguns are usually less expensive than most handguns and carbines, and they are staples for hunting and defense. They are also pretty handy when removing the hinges from doors.
The shotgun is not my first choice for social work, but I still have a few of them in the safe. They are fun to shoot and very versatile.
In this post I'll give an overview of the main types of shotguns and the most common 12 gauge ammunition.
Types of Shotguns
There are three main types of shotgun actions: pump action, break action and autoloader.
The pump action is one of the most common shotguns and is a favorite for a utility piece. This is the gun that makes the infamous loading sound. It is probably the most bang for your buck as pump actions are often inexpensive in relation to other firearms.
Break action shotguns are your side by side and over under models. These are ideal for sport shooting, hunting and wild west reenactments. Double barrels really shine for sporting purposes because each barrel is set with different chokes for different ranges.
Autoloaders are semiautomatic shotguns that cycle each time the shooter pulls the trigger. They are a favorite amongst hunters and sport shooters alike when a higher rate of fire is required to hit multiple targets. Followup shots are generally faster with an autoloader giving it an edge with tactical and competition shooters.
Types of Shotgun Ammo
Below is an overview of the three most common types of shotgun ammo. We’ll keep it simple and stick with the most common size 2 ¾” shells.
These are the 100 packs you see at Walmart for about $20. Great for cheap target practice and small game. There are hundreds of tiny pieces of shot in each shell. This makes birdshot ideal for hitting smaller moving targets.
Usually no. 7.5 and no. 8 size shots are used for target loads. Birdshot is great for busting clay birds and cheap target practice. However, it is still good to practice with buckshot if you are training for defensive purposes, especially if you are going to be running buckshot while the shotgun is in service. You will see the difference immediately on the range whether you’re shooting steel or paper.
This is probably the most common tactical load. Buckshot has bigger pellets designed to stop larger game and is also used for tactical and defensive purposes. Below I’ll cover two of the more commonly found loadings.
No. 4 Buck
No. 4 buckshot is a common round used for defense and hunting. The typical loading is 27 pellets in 2 ¾” shells for no. 4 buckshot. This will give you more spread density when patterning but still yields a decent amount of knock down power.
The 9 pellet 00 2 ¾” shells are probably the most common defensive load run by most LEO and operators.
00 buckshot has a high amount of knockdown power with the average load running from 1,200 FPS (low recoil) to 1,600 FPS. The downrange effectiveness of a solid close range hit with 00 buckshot is hard to argue with and is accepted by most as a fight stopper.
A slug is a large singular projectile that basically turns the shotgun into a rifle.
The one ounce rifled slug is probably the most commonly used and available. Slugs enhance the effective range and capability of a shotgun delivering a devastating amount of energy transfer to target. They are great for hunting and tactical applications.
In a smooth bore shotgun (most common), the shooter will need rifled slugs. The rifling is actually in the projectile and not the barrel of the shotgun.
In a shotgun with a rifled barrel, the shooter will need sabot slugs. It is important to know if you have a smooth or rifled barrel. Rifled barrel shotguns are largely used for deer hunting in locals that restrict rifle use.
It is good to pattern your shotgun and know the spreads and distances of different brands and loadings.
This is the same concept as confirming your zero with a rifle.
It is easier to learn to shoot a shotgun effectively for most people, especially when compared to handguns. However, it is also easy to miss with a shotgun. It’s not like the movies. It is important to know the capabilities and limitations of the platform.

The federal energy department has signed off on the long-running FutureGen clean coal project in western Illinois.
The Energy Department has approved the one-point-65-billion-dollar plan to retrofit a coal-fired power plant in Meredosia. The new technology would remove carbon dioxide from the coal and store it underground.
The FutureGen project could start this year if it gets a permit to store the gas and finalizes its financing.


GALLERY: Fun and strong message at event in Skegness
Emergency teams joined forces to organise the event on the seafront – and raise money for the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance.
PCSO Michelle Collins, one of the organisers with Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue, said: “We want to reduce the number of deaths and seriously injured on our roads.
“We attend road accidents together, so we thought why not hold an event together, to try to help prevent them happening.”
Local businesses who supported the event included Bush tyres, offering advice on tyre safety, supported by Bridgestone. Halfords gave advice on appropriate child restraints, and the Road Safety Partnership was also there.

Social networks continued their domination of our lives in 2012 with U.S. users logging more than 121 billion minutes across numerous social networks in just July of this year. Put another way, that's more than 2 billion hours of viewing vacation photos and reading about a friend's new puppy. That's up 36% from 88.4 billion minutes spent on social media in July 2011, according to Nielsen's recently released 2012 social media report. Facebook alone accounts for a major portion of that time.

Pinterest and Instagram, two social networks that gained mainstream popularity in just the last year, are continuing to grow at exponential rates, a new study shows. Weekly visits to Pinterest's website from North American users hit nearly 29 million in July, up from 1.27 million a year earlier, according to Experian Marketing Services. That's an increase of 2,183% for the social network, which has been especially popular among women. Pinterest, which lets users collect and post images the way people do with pinboards in real life, began to see its popularity pick up dramatically early this year.

Uber, the San Francisco-based car service company, is using election day to get out the word on its mobile app. The mobile start-up is running a promotion today that offers free rides for first-time users to get to a polling location. The service can be used anywhere in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Make plans for how you'll get back, though, as the offer can only be used for a one-way ride, not a round trip. If you want to ride back using Uber, it'll cost you a minimum of $15 in Los Angeles.

Twitter has stopped displaying the names of third-party services used to send tweets. This means you will no longer see that tweets on Twitter's website and mobile app have been sent from services such as Tweet-bot, Seesmic, HootSuite and others. Don't worry, you'll still be able to use those services to send tweets, but those third-party services will be hurting because Twitter has dramatically cut their visibility. The change is part of a continuing effort by Twitter to direct focus at its official platforms after long embracing third-party services.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Facebook is buying the youth vote. Instagram isn't your mother's or your grandmother's mobile app. Its users trend far younger than Facebook's, according to a study from Experian Hitwise. More than half of the visitors to Instagram's website are under the age of 35, said Heather Dougherty, Hitwise's research director. Facebook's website draws a more mainstream audience (read here: gray hair). In fact, over the last four weeks, most Instagram users were between the ages of 18 and 34, whereas Facebook drew users between 25 and 34 as well as 55 and older.
