Actions speak louder than words, and our character is more often reflected by what we do than what we say. How do we grow our character so we reflect Jesus’ character to everyone around us?
And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. Their wives likewise[a] must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
When it comes to modelling a godly character, I guess ‘striving’ springs to mind. You don’t simply turn to Jesus, and p are magically transformed into a lovely godly Christian. Turning from ‘your old ways into new’ is a life-long, daily commitment. Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s hard. Sometimes you feel carried by God in it, at other times you feel alone in it. It can be like the classic ‘two steps forward one step back’ sentiment, or more like a million steps back in a moment. But you pick yourself up again and plough on, because you know somewhere in all this striving, you are simply trying to love God and others.
With these passages above written by Paul, it’s good to interpret them through the lens of Jesus (a ‘Christocentric’ hermeneutics some clever theologians like to say). If we hold onto these instructions whilst forgetting Jesus’ incredible grace in the mix, we can be quick to fall into disheartening or judgemental ways. We begin equating God’s love for us in terms of how well we are performing on the ‘godly character’ scale; becoming proud when we believe we are doing well, or depressed when we know we have messed up.
But I’m reminded of the story in John 8, the woman caught in adultery. The religious leaders were wanting to stone her, but Jesus challenges them saying ‘let him who has never sinned cast the first stone.’ In a humbling moment the crowd of accusers walk away, and Jesus meets this broken lady with forgiveness and acceptance. Let’s not forget that we strive from the basic truth that we are ALL sinners loved by God.
When it comes to wanting to grow in our Godly character, it’s something that we can all too easily want to pin down into tidy ‘to do’ and ‘not to do’ boxes. I remember quizzing my teacher once after attending a theological seminar around poverty and giving. ‘Do you think as Christians we should give all our money to the poor and live a monastic-esque simple life?’ I asked him. ‘It depends, if that is something you feel called to?’ This frustrated me, I wanted a blanket ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer. But it came down to personal conscience and convictions.
This has been a poignant reminder to me that as I pursue a ‘blameless’ life, I should not limit this to a list of rules, but it’s about drawing close to Jesus and responding to his Spirit. I’m not saying there isn’t a place for some objective truth around this stuff, but I reckon as we grow in wanting to be more like Jesus, the best place to start is by carving out time to hang out with him!
There is a fight between our ‘flesh’ and ‘spirit’, hence growing in godly behaviour is far from a walk in the park, it’s a battle! But we commit ourselves to this journey, because we trust that there is a God of love who knows what’s best for us. God’s ways are higher; He knows us more than our culture norms or fleeting heart desires do. Yes, culture may tell us that ‘falling in love’ is the highest law of love, but God tells us faithfulness is where it is at.
Yes, our hearts may want us to dwell around envious thoughts, but God calls us back to us finding satisfaction in Him. Yes, it is easy to get sucked into gossip in the workplace, but instead we embrace self-control and kindness out of grace & love for that person. And as we lean into God’s spirit to do that work of moulding our characters into His likeness, we really will radiate His love to this world. What a privilege?! What an opportunity to simply enjoy walking in how God intended us to be, and inviting others into the joy of that too.
Personal Reflection: What is our heart’s motivations around pursuing Godly ways. Have we fallen into the trap of believing we can earn God’s love by the right kind of behaviour? God wants you to work at your character from the security that this isn’t about winning Him over, it’s just about learning to walk more and more in his freeing ways.
In Community: Read through the passages from Timothy, Romans and Galatians. What jumps out as an area you want to grow in or just feel really weak in? Bring it to a trustworthy Christian friend. Speaking it out, repenting, praying it through with someone, being accountable about it, can make all the difference. Vulnerable I know, but there is unique power in working this out in community.
Reading: I recommend ‘Enemies of the heart’, by Andy Stanley. He is addressing the (at times controlling) emotions of guilt, anger, greed and lust. We have to recognise with issues around our character, it isn’t always simply about ‘behavioural management’, we need to dig a bit deeper. This book has some helpful pointers to really tackle with some walls we may come against in growing in a Godly character.
Lord, we want to strive from a place of humility and knowing grace, we want to strive because we just love you Jesus and want to be more like you, we want to strive because we trust you know what’s best for us. Help us not to give up, to keep giving over the way we are to you. To keep caring about the simple calling of loving you and others in our daily life. Spirit, please help us, we really need it!

This page shows how to create an Ice client application with MATLAB.
The slice2matlab compiler produces a single source file, Printer.m, from this definition. The exact contents of the source file do not concern us for now — it contains the generated code that corresponds to the Printer interface we defined in Printer.ice.
We check whether the Ice library is loaded and call loadlibrary if necessary. The 'ice' argument is the name of the Ice for MATLAB library, while @iceproto denotes a prototype file. This file, iceproto.m, is included in the Ice for MATLAB distribution. Using a prototype file is simpler and more efficient than a header file because it avoids the need for MATLAB to run a C compiler to preprocess a header file.
We initialize the Ice run time by calling Ice.initialize. The call to initialize returns an Ice.Communicator reference, which is the main object in the Ice run time.
We register a "clean up" function that will be called when the cleanup variable is reclaimed and ensures that the communicator is destroyed before the program terminates. Doing this is essential in order to correctly finalize the Ice run time: the program must call destroy on any communicator it has created; otherwise, undefined behavior results.
The proxy returned by stringToProxy is of type Ice.ObjectPrx, which is at the root of the inheritance tree for interfaces and classes. But to actually talk to our printer, we need a proxy for a Demo::Printer interface, not an Object interface. To do this, we need to do a down-cast by calling Demo.PrinterPrx.checkedCast. A checked cast sends a message to the server, effectively asking "is this a proxy for a Demo::Printer interface?" If so, the call returns a proxy of type Demo.PrinterPrx; otherwise, if the proxy denotes an interface of some other type, the call returns an empty array.
We test that the down-cast succeeded and, if not, throw an exception that terminates the client.
We now have a live proxy in our address space and can call the printString method, passing it the time-honored 'Hello World!' string. The server prints that string on its terminal.
The client runs and exits without producing any output; however, in the server window, we see the "Hello World!" message that is produced by the printer. To get rid of the server, we interrupt it on the command line.
Note that, to successfully run the client, MATLAB must be able to locate Ice for MATLAB. See the Ice for MATLAB installation instructions for more information.

Legislation that makes it more difficult for new bars and pubs to open in Whitby has been backed by Scarborough Councils cabinet against police advice.
Legislation that makes it more difficult for new bars and pubs to open in Whitby has been backed by Scarborough Council’s cabinet against police advice.
The executive body voted today to recommend that the full council moves to retain the town’s Cumulative Impact Zone (CIZ).
The councillors based their decision on anecdotal evidence from the public after North Yorkshire Police said there were not enough incidents of crime and disorder to justify renewing the CIZ for a further three years.
A CIZ makes it harder for an applicant to open a new drinking establishment in the area covered by the zone.
Cabinet member Cllr Sandra Turner (Con) said she welcomed the keeping of the zone in Whitby.
She told her fellow councillors: “A large part of the zone is in my ward and I can say quite honestly that the residents put forward very measured responses to the consultation.
In total, more than 250 people responded to the consultation on Whitby alone, with 79.9% of them stating the CIZ should not be removed.
In asking for the CIZ to be removed North Yorkshire Police pointed to the reduction in crimes in Whitby.
When the policy was introduced in 2006 there were some 200 reported violent incidents, compared to 79 in 2016/17.
The new policy of the CIZ will be reviewed until it is up for renewal in 2022.
As part of the review, Falsgrave Road in Scarborough will not be added to the town’s CIZ following responses from the public.
However, ward councillor Liz Colling (Lab) asked for the situation to be monitored moving forward as the area has seen an increase in applications for pubs and bars in recent years.
The proposals will now go to the authority’s full council meeting on March 1.

It's that time of year again. Here are the movies that Roswell and I like to watch around Xmas. Do you have ones that I missed?
Bad Santa, The Ref, and Go are my favorites, but fall under the not-exactly-family-friendly category.
Badder Santa and The Royal Tenenbaums.
Scott and Ivy McCloud keep telling people to watch "Arthur Christmas". One these days I might, if we decide watching a movie is the thing to do.
Yes, yes, a thousand times YES. It is THE film to watch at Christmas, in our household. It is funny, without any cynicism (unless you count GrandSanta: "Go wrap your head, Elf!") It has the Spirit of Christmas, without being sentimental. It makes me laugh every time, AND shed the odd tear. Perfect!
Scott & Ivy know. :) It's terrific. I tend to double-feature it with Rise of the Guardians but I'm weird.
Gremlins is always festive. But Scrooged is my favorite.
Eastern Promises is one of my favorite Christmas movies. God I love the Ice Harvest too!

It is a widely known practice that yogurt and other probiotics that contain lactobacilli are used to prevent vaginal candidiasis that can arise after the use of antibiotics.
The theory is that the lactobacilli will replace some of the normal flora that was eradicated by the antibiotic and will thus reduce the potential for yeast to colonize and flourish in the area.
There is some preliminary evidence that suggests women with chronic recurrent vaginal candidiasis who eat lactobacilli-containing yogurts can have a reduced frequency of infection.
However, when looking at the prevention of yeast infections that arose after the use of antibiotics, the evidence is much weaker.
In fact, it was found that women who took lactobacilli by oral or vaginal route, did not see a reduction in vaginal yeast infections following antibiotic use.
The fact is that certain lactobacilli strains may be more effective than others, and different doses may be required to achieve the desired effect.
The evidence is still scarce and needs to be further examined, especially because of the lack of standardization of probiotic-containing products, which makes it difficult to deduce a cause-and-effect relationship.

I never really learned to love the seaside until I realized the source of my discomfort there: it’s not the sand, not the heat, or even the saltiness that creates that annoying tight skin sensation. My real problem with the seaside was my incredibly sensitive skin. A single ray of sunshine would leave me with long lasting irritation. If I did not use at least 50 SPF for the first ten days of sunbathing, I would become as red as a lobster.
And until ten years ago, I had really no idea how to protect my skin. By now, I have learned my lesson, and my sun care has made a total 180.
The good news: technology and research in sun protection have made great leaps in the last decade, and safely catching some rays is no longer a mysterious challenge, not even for my delicate skin. For every one of us, the right sunscreen exists to help us live our best vacation lives peacefully, with the necessary precautions.
To get my skin right for the summer ahead, I asked all of the best Italian dermatologists for their guidance. With their expertise, I sought to create a beauty routine for the summer prevent any kind of sunburn or irritation for any skin type. Because if you go on vacation (especially a long one), isn’t it nice to just enjoy yourself without any worry?
From beauty tips to advice and even a few personal challenges, here is what you need to know before you take off for you sea destination (or even mountain).
Let’s start with the basics: how do I pick the right sunscreen for my skin?
When it comes to sun protection, no skin type cannot benefit from a high SPF. Your immediate goal may be to prevent burning or discomfort in the immediate future, but please always remember that long term sun damage is pretty much irreversible, and overexposure to the sun without protection if the leading factor in skin cancer, which affects all skin. Historically, women with darker skin have been told they need less sun protection, but we now know that all skin needs high level protection from the sun.
So as your first step, it is better to study how your skin reacts to the sun. This is also highly dependent on your location (latitude and height) and certain skin situations such as recent esthetic treatments, tattoos or the predisposition of hyperpigmentation.
SPF 50: do I still get tan?
The answer is: absolutely. Let’s debunk the myth that higher SPF means no tan. It’s quite the opposite actually, with high level sun protection, your beachy bronze will last even longer. When choosing your sunscreen, make sure that it has all of the necessary filters (UVA, UVB, and IR) and check to see how the formulation of the ingredients defend the skin and reinforce your natural mechanisms of repair.
It’s the morning; I get up, have my healthy breakfast (rich with fruit containing Vitamin C and antioxidants) and put on my bathing suit. I throw my sunscreen in my bag and head to the beach. Am I good to go?
Well, kind of… Experts say that it is necessary to slather yourself with sunscreen at least 20 minutes before being exposed to the sun. That strong sun can even get you on your walk to the beach, which means you can potentially burnt just trying to find your spot in the sand.
What is the right amount of sunscreen to apply to your whole body?
The minimum quantity to apply is about two milligrams per sq cm of skin. Considering that the average skin surface of an adult, you should be using 30-35 grams of product, so let’s just say more or less the size of a golf ball for each application. If you reduce the quantity, you reduce the level of protection.
This is annoying and time-consuming, is there any way to get out of it?
No. Take the time to care for your skin and your skin will take care of you.
Not only does this have the UVA and UVB filters, it contains Lancaster’s Full Light Technology, which offers a unique protection against Visible Light and Infrared rays.
The only way to defend yourself from sunspots is by using the maximum protection available. If you are not using a SPF 50, a 30 SPF should suffice, but should be reapplied, just like your body, every two hours. Not a fan of sunscreen? I also love to use a foundation that uniforms my color and protects me from UV radiation. Lots of these makeup products are out there in the market, from foundation to lipstick even powder and primers with sun filters included (you can even use these in the city). Don’t give up that touch up just because you are at the beach.
Do darker skin tones need less protection?
The answer is no. Regardless of your skin tone, you for sure need to protect yourself from UVA rays, which penetrate deep to cause skin ageing, and from infrared rays, which are invisible and have the capacity to heat the skin, causing the inflammation of capillaries and worsening any varicose veins, according to AIRC, Associazine Italiana per la Ricerca sul Cancro.
I want to spend the day beachside, is sunscreen enough to protect me?
Sunscreen doesn’t cut it. Before going to the beach, don’t forget to bring with you a pair of sunglasses to protect you from the sun rays, and a hat to cover the décolletageand lower part of the neck, which we regularly forget.
I love to run, and I normally protect myself with sunscreen. Is applying before my work out enough?Not really. Your application should be reapplied often, if you sweat or every time you go in the water. “If your objective is to be active for a long time, then it is necessary that the sunscreen is resistant to water and sweat” says Piergiacaomo Calzavara Pinton, President of SIDeMast (Società Italiana di Dermatologia medica). Forget about super thick or sticky creams – nowadays there are creams with an invisible formula, not oily and easy to apply, but most of all a higher resistance over traditional sun filters.
Ideal for swimmers, this cream is made of an innovative technology that uses some of the components in water and your sweat to reinforce the UV protection.
At the end of the day, is a fresh shower enough to calm my senses from the heat and red skin?
A soothing bath gel is a good solution, but not enough. After a long day in the sun, your skin is fragile and needs a little TLC. Make sure to carry an After Sun cream. “It should be applied right after your shower and slather on your whole body, including your face,” says dermatologist Magda Belmontesi. After Sun cream does not substitute certain anti-age and hydration treatments that are part of our everyday beauty routine. Experts suggest applying the After Sun cream after showering, and to follow up with night cream or anti-age cream right before going to bed. Some important advice: stay away from exfoliating or spot treatment products after you have been in the sun.
An extra beauty tip: make sure to stock up on your antioxidant vitamins – like Vitamin E, that has a reconstructing effect on your skin – and some vegetable extracts (Goji Berries, Soy, and Aloe), which calm redness and protect your epidermis.
A light and refreshing gel-cream that stimulates the natural reserve of hydration in your skin. The new auto-replenishing technology works nonstop for 72 hours, leaving your skin smooth and polished, even after you have washed your face.
1) Face and body products in gel form are amazing for the summer. Pick a cream for its fresh texture; it will be even simpler to apply it throughout the day. Love a good spray? The new products out there make your life that much easier because it always equally distributes the cream.
2) Stick some hydrating face masks in your suitcase. It is important to enrich your skin.
3) Don’t forget an eye cream with a high SPF, the same one that you use for the your city beauty routine; that beautiful face of yours never gets a vacation from the sun.

Uploading to my MKRZERO gives the above error, though sketches load and run. I saw an update procedure for the MKRVIDOR4000 but I hesitate to try it on my ZERO.
What does this error mean and how do I eliminate it?
Sketch uses 11424 bytes (4%) of program storage space. Maximum is 262144 bytes.
Verify 11696 bytes of flash with checksum.
Purely a guess: You might try a different USB cable.
Thanks for the suggestion but I get the same result with other cords as well (I tried four others). Note that the sketches all load and run successfully - erase, write and verify are successful. Just this strange bootloader fail errror.
I contacted support regarding this issue and was referred to an open issue on the SAM-D git hub site - https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-samd/issues/198. As noted there, I was able to "solve" the problem by interposing a USB2 hub between my Win 7 box and my MKRZERO board.
The bug remains unresolved but this simple workaround seems to prevent the (spurious?) error message.
Thanks for taking the time to provide an update with the workaround jackrubin. I'm sure anyone else having the same problem who finds this thread while searching for a solution will be very grateful. I have taken note of this information for future reference.

We all agree that prayer is a good thing, yet it seems difficult for us to pray. Whether it is finding time in our busy schedules, not knowing how to pray for others, or being unsure whether God really hears and answers, we find prayer a challenging habit to start and sustain.
During this series, we will ask and answer a number of questions about prayer. What principles should guide my prayers? Are there models of prayer I can follow? How do I pray for someone when I don’t know their needs? What if I do everything right, and God doesn’t answer? What does Scripture say about prayer?
May you discover what Scripture says about prayer and put the principles into practice. Learn how to move heaven for earth.

Time to time is necessary upgrade or change Server Hardware. In average, companies change hardware for servers every 3-5 years. Furthermore, yes, this time we could get problems with doing that. Move Installed Windows to the same the physical computer is not a big deal, but move Installed Windows to different physical computer sometimes is not so easy. Let see how to do this by using standard NTBACKUP.
In this article I’ll show you how to create a system state backup on one computer and restore it to a different physical computer.
Before I start, let make sure that we are speaking the same language.
I’m going to mention words like “Source Computer” and “Destination Computer“.
The source computer is defined as the OLD computer. On this computer you create the system state backup. The destination computer is the new computer where you will move our Installed Windows.
Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then click System.
On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager, and then expand the Computer branch.
The second part is to install Operating System on the Destination Computer. The source and destination computers must use identical operating system versions. For example, you cannot run Windows 2000 Advanced Server on destination computers if on the source computer was Microsoft Windows 2000 Server. The best practice is to install Windows on the destination computer by using the same installation media that used to install the source computer. Additionally, the destination computer must use the same logical drive letter (%systemdrive%) and path (%systemroot%) as the source computer. Also, on to the destination computer, by using Disk Management, create, format, and assign drive letters to any additional volumes that may be required to hold a system state component. Make sure that all drive letters match those of the source computer. Disk space for volumes on the destination computer should be as least as large as corresponding volumes on the source. For domain controllers, the locations of the Active Directory directory service database, Active Directory log files, FRS database, and FRS log files must also be identical for the source and destination computers. For example, if the Active Directory database log files on the source computer were installed on C:\WINNT\NTDS, the destination computer must also use the C:\WINNT\NTDS path.
Error message when you restore a Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1-based backup on a Windows Server 2003-based computer: Windows could not start because an error in the software.
Now, on the destination, please create C:\Backup folder. Put a copy of the C:\Boot.ini file and the whole %systemroot%\Repair folder, including all of its subfolders, in the C:\Backup folder.
Click Start, click Run, type ntbackup, and then click OK.
On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Restore tab, and then click Always replace the file on my computer.
Restore the system state from the backup that you performed on source computer. Make sure that you select the option to restore to the original location.
Copy the Boot.ini file from the C:\Backup folder that you created in step 6. Copy the Repair folder and its subfolders from the C:\Backup folder to the %systemroot%\Repair folder.
Reinstall the destination computer’s hard disk controller drivers.
Verify that the source computer is turned off, disconnected from the network, or has been reinstalled by using a different computer name and IP address.
Restart the new computer, and then verify that it is functioning correctly. Install / Update necessary hardware drivers.
I’ve tested this solution several times on Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Server 2000 and Microsoft Windows XP Professional and always this solution worked for me! I hope this article will help you as well :).

In 2010, former University of North Dakota (UND) studentCaleb Warner was expelled after being found guilty of sexual assault by a campus court, despite evidence of his innocence that should have been impossible to ignore. Indeed, the evidence clearing Warner was so powerful that the local district attorney filed criminal charges against his accuser for filing a false report to police.

The fascinating nature that surrounds the city of Ravenna.
The great variety of landscapes of Ravenna gives you the chance to fully live and enjoy nature.
Its nine seaside resorts stretch along a 35-km long coastline of sandy beaches and offer a wide range of services and facilities for a relaxing, entertaining or wellness holiday. On the coast of Ravenna, the benefits of sun and sea join the possibility of practising watersports, beach sports, bicycle tourism, hiking and trekking across the pinewoods.
The beautiful pinewood of San Vitale and the ancient pinewood of Classe, dividing the city from the sea, have a great historical and cultural value for Ravenna. They represent the perfect place for walks, bike and horse rides among the pine trees and a wonderful location for spring festivals and events celebrating the wonders of nature, like the traditional Truffle Festival and the Pine-kernel Festival.
The wetlands of Ravenna are the remains of the ancient marshes that once surrounded the town, now nature reserves of the Po Delta Park, which include Oasi Punte Alberete, Valle della Canna, Penisola di Boscoforte, Ortazzo and Ortazzino and the estuary of Bevano river. In these areas, visitors can practise birdwatching, ride their bike and participate in guided tours.
The NatuRa Museum of Sant’Alberto is the reference point for the natural heritage of the area. Its premises host exhibitions, conferences, presentations and other activities, such as guided tours; it also houses interesting ornithological collections and specimen of typical or exotic reptiles and mammals.

Karni Mata is also known by the names of Ridhu Bai and Nari Bai by some locals. She was originally the wife of Kipoji Charan of the Sathika Village. She later told her husband that she was not being able to concentrate in matrimonial life. All this went unheard by her husband only before it was too serious and she decided to leave home. Karni Mata even arranged the marriage of her sister, Gulab with her own husband. She, herself stayed like a nomad throughout her life.
Karni Mata is the family deity of the royals of Jodhpur and Bikaner. She was highly respected throughout her lifetime and is said to have blessed many kings and their families. Her first temple was built was built in Mathaniya Village by her disciple Amara Charan in 1472. Other important temples of Karni Mata were built in Deshnoke, Jodhpur and Bikaner.
Karni Mata is said to be the fiercest incarnation of Goddess Kali. Some people also say that she is an incarnation of Goddess Durga. This temple is also known as ‘The Rat Temple’. The mystery of the name will be cleared once you enter the temple and see rats all over the area. Moreover, the idol of Karni Mata holds a trident and is surrounded by many rats. The rodents are said to be originally from the Charan category, which was also the origin of Karni Mata. Some locals say that the rats there protect the temple from evil powers from entering into it. They are considered to be holy and are carefully preserved in the temple.
This temple was the most important religious place built during the Mughal rule. The architecture is stunning. As soon as you enter the temple you will see walls, large doors and pathways with intricate craftwork and designs all of the late Mughal style.
You will also find many rats drinking milk from a large container. The locals have so much belief in here that they even take the rats on their laps and feed them with milk and other different temple stuffs and seek the blessings of the Goddess.
This place altogether is perfect for God lovers with an exclusive experience of spending time with so many rats which you will not find anywhere else. If you see a white rat, then consider yourself to be very lucky. The locals say that spotting a white rat means that Karni Mata has blessed you.
The best to visit the temple is during the Navaratri Festival.
Beware of the rats as they are so many in numbers.
The temple food that is distributed is all eaten by the rats first as it is considered to be holy.
Photography is allowed without any extra charges.

Sandeep Gupta (right), the director of Expert Nutraceutical Advocacy Council and Global Nutraceutical Expert, signs an MoU with Dr Priya Rao, the principal of Pravara Rural College of Pharmacy to mark their cooperation on launching the post-graduate diploma course in food technology and nutraceuticals.
Indian trade organisation the Expert Nutraceutical Advocacy Council (ENAC) will run a one-year post-graduate diploma course in food technology and nutraceuticals with tertiary institutions in India, to bridge the gap between industrial needs and academic curriculum.
ENAC will be designing and co-certifying the course along with the participating institutions “as per the needs of the industry and the nation” so as to further develop the sector and “bring India to the next level when it comes to nutraceutical supplement”, according to ENAC director Sandeep Gupta.
Gupta told NutraIngredients-Asia that the course would focus on the basic principles of food and nutrition, the benefits of supplements to human health, touch on food safety and regulations aspects such as food microbiology.
Industry experts from renowned MNCs, such as Danone, will join the course as guest lecturers to provide industry insights, while existing teachers would be retrained and equipped with the latest industry knowledge.
Students are also required to handle projects in developing new product ideas and concepts. There are also industrial visits planned for the students.
The issue with the current education framework, was that students lacked real-world knowledge on how the nutraceutical industry worked, Gupta pointed out.
There are also plans to introduce the one year post-graduate diploma course in more colleges.
To reach out to more colleges, he said that there were plans to run a road show every fortnight, where the team will propose the course idea to the school’s management, he added.

Before COUPLED, I was working at Conservation International’s Moore Center for Science as a researcher and project manager. My work involved research, technical assistance, and capacity building to advance the understanding and governing of Protected Area Downgrading Downsizing and Degazettement (PADDD) and conservation beyond protected areas. Through those projects, I had the opportunity to explore the history and local context of conservation interventions and policies in the Amazon and other tropical countries. I also interned at WWF-US on land use scenario development for ecosystem services modeling, right after I earned my Master of Environmental Management from Duke University in 2015.
The past three years on international conservation and area-based approaches naturally prepared me and led me to the COUPLED project “Understanding Conservation Coupling.” I am intrigued by the spatial/social context as well as the bargaining process leading to the adoption and abandonment of conservation interventions, and how international funding and discussions influence such decisions. Specifically, I find it exciting to (re)connect conservation research with land system science and sustainability science to explore how to balance human resource use and the protection of nature. My project will combine place-based approach with network analysis to link the flows of information and funding with conserved lands and outcomes.
My research will provide information for better decisions on effective and just conservation in dynamic landscapes with multiple stakeholders, in a telecoupled world.
Land use is the number one driver of the global extinction crisis. Understanding how land use affects biodiversity, what the trade-offs between land use and conservation are, and which conservation measures effectively mitigate biodiversity loss is therefore important. Conservation initiatives and funding often come to regions in need of conservation from external places, both within countries and beyond, e.g., via large-scale international conservation organizations or payment for ecosystem services schemes. This forges conservation telecouplings.
Map conservation lands (including public and private reserves, indigenous areas, ecosystem services areas) and associated conservation actors for the South American cattle/soybean deforestation frontiers (Amazonia, Gran Chaco, Cerrado).
Quantify how changes in the networks of capital and information that link actors in Europe and elsewhere to these conservation landscapes relate to changes in the extent and status of conservation lands.
Compile indicators on deforestation, protected area effectiveness, and land prices to evaluate how this affects competition between conservation and other land uses in Europe and South America’s arc of deforestation.
In doing so, the research project will create a basic understanding of telecouplings activated through conservation, develop tools to link place-based and network-based analyses, and gain insights on how conservation organizations and policy makers can avoid unwanted outcomes and spill-over effects.

Promotional feature with Tesco: Give your home a sophisticated makeover for the new season with a little help from the opulent home accessories at Fox & Ivy, Tesco’s new premium homeware brand.
There’s no escaping the darker evenings as we prepare to set the clocks back, waving goodbye to the bright days of summer and welcoming autumn. Brooding seasonal changes are the ideal time for a change in interiors too. Ready to embrace the darkness let’s take a step outside the comfort zone of the stripped-back, purist colour palette of Scandi-inspired trends and venture to the dark side with rich jewel toned velvets, deep ebony woods, luxe metallics and sumptuous faux furs to add a warming quality to our homes.
These key pieces from the new Fox & Ivy brand are an affordable and easy way to create an opulent feel for your décor, without breaking the bank.
Sumptuous faux fur accessories are just the thing to hunker down for cosy nights in. The exquisite mink faux fur on this throw adds an instant air of elegance to a living room, simply draped over a sofa it will ooze opulence. The irresistibly tactile soft pile is backed with a velvety reverse to ensure it’s equally as snuggly on both sides.
Jewel tones are the perfect accent colour this season to brighten up sofas and armchairs. This rich shade of teal is enhanced further by the subtle sheen of the luxe velvet fabric, creating an opulent feel as it catches the light.
The addition of a simple mirror can help illuminate dark evenings by reflecting light around the room. Hung from a statement chain this metallic edged design is simple yet stunning. The geometric shape of this design will help to add further interest to walls.
Create a happy home by surrounding yourself with reminders of happy memories. Inspired by Art Deco design this elegant enamel frame adds the perfect finishing touch to enhance treasured photos.
Houseplants are an ever popular trend for home decor. Orchids are one of the most elegant indoor plants, unfortunately they are one of the trickiest to keep looking pristine. This realistic faux orchid is great news for those who are not green fingered. Set in faux moss and a stunning gold vase it will dress up any room all year round.
Candle light is a must for creating cosy ambience during the darker months. Fill this statuesque lantern with pillar candles of assorted sizes to create a focal point beside a fireplace or on a dining table as an alternative centrepiece.
Dot candle holders along a mantelpiece or down the centre of a dining table to instil an instant decorative touch. The mix of smoke etched glass and copper on this votive will enhance the warming glow of flickering candlelight.
The smoked glass and honeycomb finish gives this vase a vintage feel, while the gold metallic detailing gives it a more contemporary edge. Bring nature indoors by beautifully displaying rich autumnal blooms, a simple decorative touch to dress up hallways and dining rooms.
Fill your home with the evocative scent of musky wood and rich flowers with this luxury scented candle. It’s a win-win, you can embrace the hygge spirit of surrounding yourself with soft candlelight whilst enjoy a rich seasonal aroma at the same time.

Who owns this beautiful old lady?
The restoration was accomplished by Basler Turbo Conversions in Oshkosh WI. Very nice picture of the ol' girl!!
There is an old derelict DC-3 on one of the small islands near E. Timor, Indonesia. Locals are trying to make it into the main feature of a park they envision. I only visited there once in the mid '80's. Most of the instruments are gone. It is a very impressive sight sitting there in the middle of nowhere, on its landing gear, far from any runways.

Corner Route: Come for the Unli-seafood. Stay for the Great Food.
One thing comes to mind when it comes to Corner Route in Lipa – unli-seafood! It is for good reason. Corner Route is a viral sensation of a restaurant as more and more people spread the word about their unli-seafood promos. Seafood is amazing. Enjoy unlimited seafood? That’s even more amazing.
It would be unfair to Corner Route to describe it as just an unli-seafood restaurant. It offers so much more than that! The Hello Lipa team along with some #HelloLipaBuddies (watch video below) spent a whole night enjoying their other offerings.
It used to be a bar that specializes in concerts and events. Seeing the need to evolve, the General Manager Jefferson Roxas decided to turn it into a restobar. They still hold concerts and events but they’re now more known as a good restaurant that happened to also be a bar where you can enjoy some good music with your friends.
It’s in a pretty good location away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Lipa. It’s located at the back of SM City Lipa by the Zillion Pavilion. It has this relaxing ambience that invites you to sit down and enjoy a good meal.
Kind of like what we did.
It’s hard to beat their unli-seafood promos.
These are very affordable promos considering how plump their crabs and shrimps are. I also love how they operate on a reservation system. They do this so they’ll know how many seafood they’ll order for the day to ensure freshness.
If it’s your first time to eat at Corner Route, make it an unli-seafood experience.
If you’re not a heavy eater, you can try their other seafood offerings. Get all your seafood favorites with the Bag of Mixed Seafood.
It’s fresh seafood served in a piping hot bag. You can enjoy it steamed or mixed with a wide variety of sauces from Pinoy gata to salted egg.
They also have Baked Tahong.
It’s so good that some of our #HelloLipaBuddies asked if they can be served unlimited style.
We also tried the Fried Calamares.
It’s perfectly salty and peppery.
Don’t you worry if you’re allergic to seafood. You can start with the Chicken in White Buffalo Sauce.
This is one of the best chicken dishes I’ve tasted and I’ve tasted a lot.
There’s also the Corner Style Fried Chicken.
Try it if you’re getting sick and tired of the usual fast food chicken.
Get the Butter Garlic Fried Rice.
It’s perfect for both seafood and non-seafood dishes! It also goes well with the Chopsuey.
End your meal with the Torones de Yema!
They also serve alcoholic drinks but no alcohol for the #HelloLipaBuddies at that time. We wanted as much space as possible for the food!
Being a family and group-friendly restaurant, they also serve food boodle-fight style. We tried the Boodle ala Corner.
It has all their best-selling seafood in one bilao. They’re very generous when it comes to their boodle fight dishes so there’s really no need to fight. There’s enough for everyone.
Watch the first ever episode of the #HelloLipaBuddies series at Corner Route Lipa!
You’ve seen the viral videos. It’s time for you to experience why Corner Route is one of the most viral restaurants this part of the country. Try it today!

text: This work serves as a exemplar of an entire genre of music, namely Gregorian chant. Music had played a huge role in Christian worship since its beginning, building on the tradition of Judaism. In large churches, often the largest buildings of the town or cities where they were located and thus inspiring awe among the citizenry, worshipers could more easily understand words that were sung, rather than spoken. As a result, much of the musical production of Europe for centuries was simply new versions of the sung version of the Mass. Split into sections and subsections corresponding to the parts of the mass (e,g, proper and ordinary), the songs were variations on a playbook for mass that was standardized across Europe, called the liturgy. In addition, some Christians and all monastic orders prayed at set hours of the day, called the office. The songs for this became standardized as well. Gregorian chant like this laid the groundwork for polyphony, which came soon after.

Do you remember in elementary and middle school getting asked the question, “what do you want to be when you grow up”? Did you know what you wanted to be when you grew up or were you at a loss? Heck, I bet a lot of us still do not know what we want to be when we “grow up.” If you are unaware at this time what you want to do when you graduate high school, don’t fret. There are plenty of real professions out there to choose from, and dentistry is one of them. If you are at all interested in the sciences, dentistry could be a great option for you.
Oops. You just bit down too hard on a jawbreaker, and now you need to find a dentist. Wouldn't it be nice if your teeth were stronger? Believe it or not, it's time to start being envious of snails. Scientists have recently discovered that sea snails of one variety, called limpets, have the hardest teeth of any known organism. In fact, their teeth are the strongest known biological substance ever! Do you want to learn more about this exciting scientific discovery and what it might eventually mean for you and your own teeth?
Do Animals Really Need Dental Work?
Your pet is many things to you. He/she is your snuggle companion, your confidant, your walking partner, and a forever friend. You want your pets’ teeth and smile to be clean and bright for many days to come. Pets and animals need their teeth cared for just as humans do. If they are not treated correctly, they can have some of the same problems that humans experience, such as pain, decay, cavities, and tooth loss. Periodontal disease in a pet is common and if not corrected in time, can lead to worsening problems with their teeth and oral structures as the animal ages.
Is your tongue white? Does it have a burning sensation? Is your tongue sore and does it hurt to move it? If so, you may have something wrong. The best thing you can do is to make an appointment and see your dentist to make sure there isn’t anything wrong with your health.
You may not put a lot of thought into your teeth if you're not brushing, flossing, or heading to the dentist, but they're an essential part of your anatomy and accomplish many different functions. In fact, teeth are so important and such a universal concept that they play a significant role in many common metaphors and phrases. If you think about it, you might find that you make many references to teeth that have nothing to do with your mouth at all.
Your lips are the stunning frame for your smile, so it's important to keep them smooth and healthy. Fortunately, getting beautiful lips doesn't require surgical procedures or a major investment in cosmetics. You can do a lot with a little when it comes to this part of your body. With a few quick tips, you'll have soft, supple lips in no time.

Suspected Islamist militants in north-east Nigeria have killed at least nine school children, the second targeted attack on students in recent days.
Gunmen believed to be from the Boko Haram group opened fire on the pupils, who were in school uniform, at a school on the outskirts of Maiduguri.
Boko Haram said the attack was to punish youngsters for helping the army.
Some survivors said it was a response to the emergence of vigilante groups in the town.
North-eastern Nigeria is under a state of emergency as the government tries to defeat an Islamist insurgency.
Witness Ibrahim Mohammed said he was taking exams in a classroom at Ansarudeen School when gunmen stormed the building.
"I saw five students sitting the exams killed on the spot," he said.
"Four others were killed as they were entering the school premises."
Hospital workers confirmed that the bodies of nine children, still in their uniforms, had been taken to the mortuary in Maiduguri.
A spokesman for Boko Haram handed a message to local journalists saying that the attack was to punish youngsters for assisting the army.
The BBC's Will Ross in Lagos says vigilante groups have been springing up in Maiduguri with young men wielding metal pipes, clubs and machetes handing suspected militants over to the army.
A military spokesman said all those handed over would be given a fair hearing.
However, with hundreds of people being held in detention and few ever coming to court, there is a danger that the vigilante groups could be used to settle scores, our correspondent says.
On Sunday, a school in Damaturu was attacked by suspected Boko Haram gunmen and 13 people including students and teachers were killed.
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan imposed a state of emergency on north-east Nigeria last month and thousands more troops were sent to fight the Islamist militants.
So far there is no evidence to suggest that large numbers of Boko Haram fighters have been killed, our correspondent adds.

DATELINE: More of the Same?
Well, we found the popcorn version of Ancient Aliens. You have to love a documentary that is listed under science fiction! There are a plethora of these series, all covering the same close encounters and conspiracies developing for over the centuries. This is the ultimate in false names: These are alleged government files that have been released to be public. So much for truth in advertising.
This streaming Amazon series, called Unsealed (no colon) Alien Files, which had four seasons, has three available on Prime. The second season is missing as it seems to have been one-hour in length, or under some other title. The gems of outrage are about 20 minutes. Season 2 may have morphed into Hangar One something or other.
Some people hate these teasers as sensation-seeking missiles.
So, this little series manages to cram as much info as one of the ponderous two-hour Ancient Aliens into a much shorter timeframe. And, many of your favorite Aliens figures drop by to lend their expertise here—from Nick Pope, David Childress, Linda Moulton Howe, and others who seem to have sent their outtakes along. You may find the same UFO stock footage used in every episode.
These mini-briefs are folkloric in subject, hitting on everything from aliens on the Moon and Mars, to US presidents and their encounters. Most are cram packed with info and photos that you might wait to see elsewhere.
Many UFOlogists disparaged this little series, but we know when we have fallen into a money pit and don’t need any boring shafts.
John Greenewalde is the main host, someone whose claim to fame in the 20-teens was to form something called the Black Vault. The show insists that all these documents are now unsealed. Hardly, but who’s quibbling?
The narrator here is John B. Wells whose voice is a couple of octaves lower and more funeral than Robert Clotworthy over on Ancient Aliens and Curse of Oak Island. His assorted mispronunciations are to be counted and catalogued.

Kayak fishing is loads of fun, especially when you are wearing the right gear and know how to keep yourself dry. Take a look at these basic rules to fishing from a kayak and catch more fish while having more fun while you do it.
Too many newbie kayakers dress for the weather. The smart thing to do is dress for the water. From wading in the water to launch your kayak to falling over, wear what you can swim in. It just makes safety sense.
Even the most experienced kayak anglers flip their kayak. You don’t want to lose all your gear when you flip your kayak. Rig your kayak to flip so you keep your gear even when your kayak is upside down in the water. If you want something to stay dry, make sure it is in a sealed container or a plastic bag.
If you keep your head up there is more chance your body will stay upright. If you lean out of your kayak to look at something, your body is going to follow you. If your kayak is rolling and you want to stay out of the water, keep your head upright.
Unlike normal fishing, you are sitting down when you reel in that fish or bunch of weeds. By giving yourself a rod’s length of line, you will be able to get your tackle in your hand with ease.

Huntingdon Loft Conversions (PE29): In the current Huntingdon housing market, moving home might not be the best solution if you're only wishing to gain a room or 2. Do you really want to put yourself through all the aggravation and stress of moving house, as well as the added financial outlay? However, with a loft conversion, you'll be able to achieve that additional space and continue living in your existing house. If you do decide to sell up and move down the road, the value of your property will probably have gone up by around twenty to thirty percent. This leaves you in no doubt why opting to put in a loft conversion is becoming a lot more commonplace in Huntingdon.
Before you go ahead with a project such as this you will have to be alert to the costs involved. Obviously costs vary depending on the layout and size of the property and the type of conversion being done. Whilst averages are not always helpful you may be interested to learn that the benchmark price for a loft conversion in the UK in 2019 is £35,000. If this sort of budget is out of your reach then maybe you should think about something different, perhaps a garage conversion?
These figures should not be taken as gospel though, they are just intended as a general guide. The majority of the cost will be taken up by construction work and materials, and at the time of writing this works out at around £1,250 per m2. Furthermore, building control fees, architects fees and planning fees will add more to the final bill.
You should find out how much added value a loft conversion is going to put on your property in Huntingdon. Not everyone understands the fact that there is always a ceiling price on properties in any area of Huntingdon. If you need to sell in the future, your home may be tricky to sell if it is valued above this figure. Loft conversions can be poor value for money in these instances. For those of you with no plans to sell, this might not be an issue.
If you happen to be something of a DIY devotee you could look at having what's known as a shell loft conversion. Also sometimes known as a first-fix loft conversion, this is where the main structural jobs are done, including roof alterations, stairs, steelwork (when needed), windows/skylights, joists and dormers. The remainder of the work is left for the home owner (to be precise you), so that it can be finished at your leisure and carried out to your own specifications. This is ideal people on a limited budget.
Types of Loft Conversion: The main styles of loft conversion that you'll encounter in Huntingdon are: loft pods, hip-to-gable loft conversions, mansard loft conversions, velux loft conversions, dormer loft conversions, roof light conversions and roof lift loft conversions.
If this becomes a reality, rather than merely a dream, finding a contractor who is capable of doing loft conversions in Huntingdon will be your next priority. If you have a neighbour who has recently had a loft conversion, ask for a recommendation for a local builder. Send in a free quote form to a company like Bark and see what comes up, or maybe take a look at reviews on Checkatrade or Rated People. These strategies should turn up a variety of Huntingdon companies who might be suitable for you.
Local loft conversions: Little Stukeley, Sapley, Alconbury, Great Stukeley, Hartford, Hemingford Grey, Ellington, Stukeley Meadows, Buckden, Offord Cluny, Houghton, Alconbury Weston, Brampton, Godmanchester loft conversions and more.
More Cambridgeshire loft conversion specialists: Peterborough, Wisbech, Ely, Cambridge, March, St Neots and Huntingdon.
When we recently carried out a quick search for "loft conversions Huntingdon", we uncovered the following useful results on a local business directory: Sovereign Construction Group Ltd PE27 5BH, M J Builders PE29 6UR, R.A. Hamblin Plastering PE29 6XP.
Some Huntingdon locations served by Huntingdon loft conversion specialists: Tansur Court, Sanders Close, South Side, Ash Court, Abbey Rooms Lane, Bank Avenue, Toseland Road, Tan Yard, Bucks Drove, Dover Close, Stumpcross, Station Lane, Bath Crescent, Tanglewood, Sweeting Avenue, Barnard Close, Dovecote Lane, Axis Way, Carter Close, Turvers Lane, Cockbrook Lane, The Thorpe, Third Avenue, School Road, Chawston Close, Trinity Close, Buckingham Close, Chequer Street, Shortland, The Brambles.

Friends concerned at my ignorance just lent me The Crisis of Criticism a book of essays published in 1998. I found art critic Michael Brenson's "Resisting the Dangerous Journey: The Crisis in Journalistic Criticism" to be touching and affecting. The essay is available online here through the Warhol Foundation.
"I am sick of people saying in private what they will not say in public, or saying in private the opposite of what they say in public. Part of what I admire in the writings of a public intellectual like Henry Louis Gates Jr. is that there seems to be no real split between what he will say privately and publicly. The institutionalization of private outrage and public silence -- not just regarding criticism but also with regard to so much that matters to art and culture, including the now all-but-official hostility to art and demonization of the artist in America -- has historical associations that are very disturbing to me. So much public silence in the face of so much private unhappiness throughout the art world is a sign of a crisis of moral imagination that is one of the underlying themes of this presentation."
"The one response that is impermissible on the network news is doubt; permission to doubt is one of the great gifts of modernism to 20th-century culture. Critics must be willing from time to time not only to wiggle their toes in issues that threaten them, or for which they have no answer, but to plunge into them and learn to swim there. It is impossible at any time for critics who write regularly to avoid mistakes. Making them and being attacked for them mean little or nothing in themselves. What matters is the way critics deal with these mistakes and attacks. What matters is the quality of curiosity, the quality of attentiveness, the quality of concern, the quality of vision, the quality of the experience of art and language. It is also the quality of debate a critic makes available. If the discussions provoked by a critic are at the expense of that critic, so be it. If I say something that unwittingly brings to the surface esthetic or cultural or racial limitations, and my words enable people to become more aware of those limitations, fine. Probably everyone here has a sense of the kind of critic needed to meet the challenges of this moment. Many approaches are, of course, possible. Many different approaches are needed. I am looking for critics who not only love art -- not just one kind of art, art -- but who also love language, and who are also able to keep learning and growing from their mistakes, and from the dialogues they establish with and among their readers and within themselves."
"...there seems to be a generalised eruption of sadness and dismay at the loss of a formal art criticism that passes judgement."
If there is anything to lament, anything lost I would like to propose that a strict distinction between the 'passage' of judgement in criticism and the 'exercise' of judgement seems to have been missing in this debate so far. What's lost is the sense that it's a dialectic, that criticism is an arena for judgement and the contest or interraction between judgements.
I'll risk provoking Tom Moody ( and probably others) again by invoking Dave Hickey, - who has implied a relationship between art criticism and sports, (basketball actually). In sports everyone is watching the ball (or in Canada, the puck) to see how it's handled, how it's possession is challenged. There are wins losses and draws. There are fights and even decorum, a lineup to shake hands at the end. Time turned Adorno and Benjamin's letters into tome on The Frankfurt School of Aesthetics but in their time they adressed one another, as did The Socratics and The Romantics and so on and so forth.
When people talk about a lost "golden age" of criticism, my 'feeling/suspiscion' is they don't like the idea the game is over. The hammer of judgement hits the table and it's over - no appeal - no rematch. If, as James Elkins alludes and you yourself suggest "... brilliant writers of many ilks are publishing criticism hither and yon, and there is more good art criticism by more different types of people than ever before.... It seems to me that judgement is alive and well, that rigour is alive and well, that discourse and guidance and depth of intellectual investigation is fuller and richer than its ever been, with more avenues of accessibility to a broader range of reader..." I agree there is a huge quantity of material out there but as to the quality of much of it....hmmm. Perhaps there is plenty of chatter and certainly the fullest sense of entitlement to chatter. But who is everybody talking to, writing for? Why is the first chapter of "What Happened to Art Criticism?" called "Writing Without Readers"? Perhaps this is what Philip Monk was getting at ( though he has not followed up?) when he asked, "What does the disavowal of the word “criticism”mean?"
Excellent blog entry Sal. I think the only lose some feel is that the language has changed, to a more common (rather than highly academic) writing style.
I did a studio visit recently with a young artist, and he spent about five or so minutes defining irony. He did it in such a convoluted manner I just listened with intrigue at how he could make irony seem like some sort of foreign and strange condition. I am not mentioning this to laugh at the artist, but at how artspeak guises a lot of ideas that are really not all that complicated. Art relies on a certain amount of mystic, and artspeak has always been one way to keeping some mystery. In the end though, "it's a schtickl!" as David Shrigley once said about his self-depricating style.
Btw, you probably know a similar debate about leniency in criticism has been happening in the book reviewing world too, ever since Dale Peck said Ricky Moodie couldn't write himself out of a paper bag.
I offer no answers. I'm puzzled and rather conflicted as well. Many still throw up their hands over the "problem with contemporary art" (and criticism) and I really can't decide if this dissatisfied grousing is in any way legitimate or if its all just based on easy assumptions and unrealistic or misplaced expectations.
Just observe the strange parade at First Thursday: bobbleheaded girls, yammering on cell phones, in low-slung jeans with dorsal cleavage showing, standing beside a young man in a Jean-Michel Basquiat T-shirt from Urban Outfitters, next to someone having an insular, sibilant art-world conversation (artists say meaner things about other artists than any critic ever would).
"Sibilant" could be "whispered," but also hissing or...well. I would have avoided the word in this context.
In 1998 we (ie Lola magazine) sent a "secret agent" (ie student intern) around to all the art galleries to ask questions of the attendants and then rate them on their customer service and accessibility to general public. Needless to say, some gallerists got their dander up over that! We did it though, cause we noticed we were being treated much much better when people knew we were publishing an art mag. Just normal human behaviour, but wouldn't it be nice if everyone who walked into an art gallery got a nice welcome like art writers and collectors get? Lippens may be whining but he's also right that there's a nasty contradiction between (some) art's elitism and (some) art's requirment of public support. It gets broken down pretty good around here with stuff like Instant Coffee's make out parties and the plethora of friendly storefront galleries.
Elkins' book quotes Lola--an anecdote about a car collliding with a Henry Moore. It also contains what I've been wishing for: some close discussion of critics' writing (more like non-writing) about specific artists' work. Especially fun is Elkins' dismantling of Rob Weiner's generalities on Kate Shepherd (published in a Lannan Foundation catalog), and his semantic analysis of a James Yood Artforum review that carefully avoids stating an opinion about the value of the work under consideration. Yood (an admitted buddy of Elkins') says he deliberately doesn't make judgments lest he prejudice the reader's experience; Elkins twits him for that but ultimately defends him because he thinks he's "judging subtly." I'll post the excerpts eventually.
Back to Nate Lippens--it's precisely the impetus for your Lola experiment that makes me distrust him on the topic of art world so-called elitism. What gallerist questions a newspaper writer's credentials, and to his face no less? NONE. He is clearly out of his element, and probably took an awkward or poorly phrased comment in the worst way. He compensates for feelings of insecurity (and very probably a lack of what we non-elitists call "getting it") by creating a straw man of gallery snobbery and through sneering descriptions such as the one I quoted above. I feel kind of sorry for the Seattle art community--looks like they're in for a bad year.
I would distinguish between class snobbery and intellectual snobbery: class distinctions are very real in marketing art, and there's not much you can do about that. Either you have the dough to play in the big leagues of patronage and collecting or you don't. I do wish neighborhoods like Chelsea would be a little less obvious in creating a bubble world for the moneyed contingent, but poor people manage to shuffle through those spaces every day. Intellectual snobbery can be risen above, too: most people who practice it are pseuds, and their bubbles are easily popped with a little actual knowledge. Or, as I said, by bluffing. Either way, I don't really understand who the villains are here (other than a dangerously defensive critic).
Tom, which Elkin book mentions Lola?
"What Happened to Art Criticism?"
"I don't really understand who the villains are here" ...yeah I get that. I used to work in retail and I was friendly to everybody because that was my job. Now I work at a desk that happens to be the front desk in a gallery. My job is not to sell the art, as it's a non-profit space, nor is it to greet the public, but by default of that being my work station, mine is the face they see. I honestly do try hard to be welcoming, but often don't put on a friendly face because I am busy fussing away at my work. But if it is someone I know I put down what I'm doing to say hello, and if it's one of the art columnists in town I always say hello.
side note: I believe Brenson hired Kimmelman before he quit The New York Times. (I recall some kind of scandal? - I think Brenson had been promised the job by Rockwell but it went to Kimmelman instead, Brenson quit in protest?).

In a move that showed bipartisan support for Israel, the US House of Representatives voted on Thursday to condemn the UN Security Council resolution that slammed Israel's illegal settlements in West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The congressional measure passed 342 to 80, with broad bipartisan support.
It noted in particular that the US administration's refusal to veto the controversial Security Council measure "undermined" Washington's decades-long position of opposing anti-Israel action at the United Nations.
Incensed US lawmakers have assailed Barack Obama's outgoing administration for abstaining in the December 23 vote instead of vetoing the UN resolution, essentially clearing the way for its passage.
"I am stunned at what happened last month. This government -- our government -- abandoned our ally Israel when she needed us the most," House Speaker Paul Ryan told the chamber shortly before the House vote.
"It is time to repair the damage done by this misguided hit job at the UN," he added. "It's time to rebuild our partnership" with the Jewish state.
White House aides have said that while Obama is a firm supporter of Israel, he felt that after eight years he had simply run out of ways to convince Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel building on Palestinian land is sabotaging hopes for peace.
The House measure, which is non-binding, calls for the UN resolution "to be repealed or fundamentally altered so that... it is no longer one-sided and anti-Israel" and allows all final status issues toward a two-state solution to be resolved through direct bilateral negotiation.
It also demands that the United States ensures that no action be taken at the Paris Conference on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict scheduled for January 15, that would impose an agreement on the two sides.
The French-organized talks, to be attended by around 70 countries -- but not by Israeli or Palestinian representatives -- are being held to reiterate international support for a two-state solution to the conflict.
Benjamin Netanyahu had asked his ambassadors to make sure that no further UN resolution that's critical of Israel's policies comes up in future especially in the wake of the Paris conference.
