On Tuesday, November 23, at 6:30 pm, Connecting Cultures and Fondazione Ismu – Education Department – Heritage and Interculture will present the winner of Lost in Translation – Arte e Intercultura Award at the Triennale of Milan (Sala Lab).
Launched on the occasion of the Symposium Lost in Translation (February 23, 2010) with the support of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, PaBAAC – DG Landscape, Fine Arts, Contemporary Architecture and Art, the contest was addressed to young artists and cultural institutions, for the first time called to collaborate in the development of art projects dealing with the complex issues of integration, exchange and osmosis between cultures.
At its first edition Lost in Translation – Arte e Intercultura aims at providing support for young artists, encouraging innovative and far-sighted policies of cultural inclusion and promoting a ‘new vocation for public project working’. The event will be an occasion to reflect on the current opportunities for artists and cultural institutions to collaborate on complex and contingent intercultural issues. The discussion will focus on the dynamics and principles that led to the birth of this competition – e.g. the specificity of cultures and the impossibility of translation, the inherent need to reinvent and reinterpret cultures – as well as on the current state of intercultural education in the heritage field; the aim is to provide some general guidelines that, we hope, will with time become the everyday practice of cultural institutions, and ensure that these projects have a real impact in terms of generating new relationships and awareness in local communities.
More than 70 candidates sent project proposals which were carefully evaluated, resulting in a final group of six projects selected by the Advisory Board as worthy of mention due to the originality of ideas, the dissemination of good practices, the degree of community involvement in processes of intercultural exchange and dialogue, the potential impact on the local territory and cultural policies, the feasibility and sustainability in terms of forging new partnerships between young artists and cultural institutions. The artists, alongside their institutional partners, will be invited to briefly outline the most important aspects of their projects; finally, the name of the winner will be announced.

Serum albumin is the most abundant plasma protein and has a long half-life due to neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn)-mediated transcytosis by many cell types, including proximal tubule cells of the kidney. Albumin also interacts with, and is modified by, many small and large molecules. Therefore, the focus of the present study was to address the impact of specific known biological albumin modifications on albumin-FcRn binding and cellular handling. Binding at pH 6.0 and 7.4 was performed since FcRn binds albumin strongly at acidic pH and releases it after transcytosis at physiological pH. Equilibrium dissociation constants were measured using microscale thermophoresis. Since studies have shown that glycated albumin is excreted in the urine at a higher rate than unmodified albumin, we studied glucose and methylgloxal modified albumins (21 days). All had reduced affinity to FcRn at pH 6.0, suggesting these albumins would not be returned to the circulation via the transcytotic pathway. To address why modified albumin has reduced affinity, we analyzed the structure of the modified albumins using small-angle X-ray scattering. This analysis showed significant structural changes occurring to albumin with glycation, particularly in the FcRn-binding region, which could explain the reduced affinity to FcRn. These results offer an explanation for enhanced proximal tubule-mediated sorting and clearance of abnormal albumins.

*Seungri’s part starts around the 41:00 mark. Part 2 airs next week.
Lee Si Young is Seungri’s neighbor, she lives right in front of him, and Seungri went over to her place to give her a baby gift because she recently gave birth in January. He gave her baby shoes that he sewed himself. While he was over at her place, he asked her for advice that he can give to Taeyang and Min Hyo Rin since they’re married now and then the conversation shifted to Lee Si Young asking Seungri if it was alright for her to gift him breast milk soap that she made herself. He got caught off-guard and was embarrassed LOL but he accepted her gesture and then she asked: “How many would you like?” – which caught him off guard again LOL He said he’ll text her the amount he would like.
Why cringe? He knows he is being recorded and I bet whoever he called he told them too (why he is a successful CEO). As part of show they must show their lives to viewers. If he wanted to keep it private he would have done like YB and step out of camera range. I also am glad he can bring us VIPs a little laughter now and see the other 4 laughing but with him not at him.
yes of course it is part of the concept and script, it just my reaction towards that particular situation.
and it’s not a bad thing and in fact the boys are always had fun making fun of each other since forever .. reminded me on how youngbae and daesung talked about seungri will came wearing his jujitsu uniform to show off and just laugh at the thought and he really did turn up like that..
it’s their dynamic and still adorable.
I think she was a little embarrassed but not embarrassed enough not to say it– to a young, single man !
This was such an amazing episode but I also got embarrassed at times, lol! Seungri, I love you. You are my ultimate bias but seriously… it looked like a freaking drama 😂😂😂 I couldn’t stop laughing. I seriously can’t decide if it’s his real life or if he was “acting” 😂😂😂 Let’s face it – he does like to show off a little bit 😂😂 and I love him for it! He perfectly knows what he’s doing!
I loved it! Keep it up baby boy!
Sore subject for some, I know, but behind YB’s jokes….
Oh yeah!!!! VIPs as always fast. Thank you! I hope I can watch this tonight.
That was fast!! Thank a lot for sharing it!!
Seungri really is THE VARIETY KING!!!! He’s so naturally funny, it’s a pleasure to watch him!! I hope he can guest on more tv shows!!
He was playing the Black Panther soundtrack! Great taste in music. Also his English has gotten so much better!

I am generally a fan of sport based romances and this book did not disappoint me. It was funny, sweet and really entertaining at times. After reading a book in the Bedding The Bachelors series and realising how much I enjoy Virna'S style of writing, I was looking forward to this book and once again Virna has done a fabulous job. I really enjoyed the characters even though at times I found Camille very confused and Heath being an assessment to her. I loved the chemistry between Heath and Camille as it was scorching hot and lead to some very good intimate scenes. However, I would have liked to see more of the football in the book as well as an epilogue with how Heath and Camille'S life turned out. A good book and a promising series to look foward to.
Heath Dawson was the school star football player as well as Camille Pollert'S first crush, but after he says some horrible things, she let go off her crush and got her revenge.
After ten years, Heath is a successful NFL player and he runs into Camille at a charity photo shoot where she is the photographer. Camille is now a single mother and when she sees Heath again for the first time in ten years her crush begins to return back, but she refuses to act on it.
Heath recognizes Camille from school and is attracted to the gorgeous woman she has become and he is now determined to have her. As they begin to have a sizzling affair they get a good dose of reality. Will their love be able to overcome their problems?

Synopsis: Simon Kenton, a contemporary of Daniel Boone, led an adventurous life in the wilderness of Virginia and Kentucky.
I don’t remember hearing about this man before, but the study guide we’re using for American history this year recommended Simon Kenton: Young Trail Blazer by Katharine E. Wilkie, in the Childhood of Famous Americans series, to go along with a look at Daniel Boone’s life. I have just found a website where I can borrow many books, so we read this one together, and all my boys enjoyed it.
Simon Kenton grew up on a farm in the backwoods of Virginia. He was the fourth son of the family, but very important to their survival by the time he was in his teens. As a boy, he badly wanted a rifle long before his father allowed him to have one, so a friend helped him make a bow and arrow. Very soon, he was supplying his family with their meat—and when he was finally allowed to have his own rifle, he hunted even more. He always wanted to be in the wilderness, and when he was in his upper teens, he left home alone, without even any weapons, one day.
During the next 12 years, Simon, using an assumed name, wandered through the wilderness of Virginia. He helped a number of explorers, and aided families who were settling the Ohio Valley—and finally made his way into Kentucky. Apparently, his path only crossed Daniel Boone’s briefly, but they were certainly in the same area at the same time. We learned a lot about the settlement of Kentucky from this interesting story.
As with all Childhood of Famous Americans books, this one focuses mainly on Simon’s younger years. It is rich in detail about daily life on the frontier. It is also simply written, but with a very interesting storyline, which appeals to younger readers; I had one reluctant reader get hooked on some books from this series, which was exciting. Also, even though during the place and time in which this biography is set, was rough and wild, there are only two chapters that were violent. At the end of the book, at least of the older edition which we read, there are a number of study helps. There is a very useful timeline of Simon’s life, study questions, more things to look up and activities to do, and a list of other books you can read to expand your study. There is also a glossary of difficult words. Unfortunately, it appears that this book is out of print; you might be able to find a copy in a library.
WARNING: On page 156, a man is scalped. On pages 169-174, when Simon was a captive of the Indians, their tortures are described.

A landing page can be a page that visitors come to after clicking on a marketing banner or link. Ultimately, the landing page must encourage the visitor that they ought to remain on your site.
Individuals arrive at your website trying to find responses. They scan to see if they’re in the best place and evaluate whether it’s going to be a quick and simple visit or a long grinding one. Your landing page is the welcome wagon inviting them in and feeding them the details they require. The structure of the page will either pull them in and motivate them to meet your objective, or distract and trigger them to cut out of there before getting the entire photo.
The structure of the landing page in general need to be matching that of the advertisement, link or banner they clicked on to get them there. For example, if your PPC Ad is targeting SEO posts, your landing page should discuss exactly that. If a Victoria Secret’s Advertisement for underwear appears and you click it, you will be transferred to a landing page with the precise image and structure of the ad.
Don’t filth up the page with big, distracting graphics. Use plenty of whitespace and location your message in the central portion of the page rather than positioning info down the sides, where the focus can be lost quickly.
• Appeal is in the eye– Utilize a consistent color palate. If you have advertising or banners that connect visitors to your website, ensure the principle and color scheme match throughout the board. It’s likewise a great visual sign for the visitor since they can quickly determine that they’re still in the best location.
Before you develop the landing page, choose what the objective of the page will be. If you’re looking for newsletter subscribers, the goal will be to have the visitor enter their details and end up being a member of your mailing list.
Keep the concentrate on you. You’ve hung a large poster board over their head and pulled them in. Now that you have actually got them, do not give your visitors a reason to roam.
A call to action, such as ‘subscribe now’ or ‘get this deal’ reminds the visitor why they are on your site. Place them toward the top of your page. For uses that desire to click, it permits them to find it quickly. For those who are still deciding, it’s a terrific tip.
Numerous websites position the consultation type or contact form straight on the landing page, which may not be such a bad concept. Once again, you require glaring calls to action. Don’t include several worthless links on the page that will take the visitor back to your primary website; rather include the links that will get them to really buy your product/service.
Develop landing pages with no grammatical or spelling errors. As I clicked out of there, I pictured the four-star flea-bag motel by the swampland I might have scheduled if I stayed.

They found the cocaine in submarines, in speedboats stopped in the Pacific Ocean, in a private jet that crashed into the Caribbean Sea and, perhaps most strangely, in frozen cubes of orange juice transported in trucks.
Officials in Mexico, Colombia and Los Angeles seized 3,500 kilograms (7,700 pounds) of cocaine and other drugs worth over US$500 million as part of a four-year investigation into a global drug ring, according to the US Department of Justice.
On Friday, one of the leaders behind the drug operation was arraigned in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom after being extradited from Colombia. Victor Hugo Cuellar-Silva arrived Thursday night at Los Angeles International Airport.
According to a federal indictment, Cuellar-Silva is the head of the Colombia base for the organisation and is responsible for obtaining tonnes of cocaine and other drugs from South American labs and coordinating transport their for sale in the US and elsewhere.
Six California residents were arrested in their homes Thursday on suspicion of operating stash houses and transporting the drugs in cars to be sold, federal prosecutor Alexander Schwab said.
Those arrested were Hugo Atienzo, 55, of Azusa; Juan Antonio Brizuela, 29, of Lompoc; Richard Dennis, 54, of Studio City; Gerardo Mojarro, 42, of South Gate; Jesus Manuel Monrreal, 33, of Van Nuys; and Jonathan Zamora, 28, of Cerritos.
Amparo Yokasta Melo Peguero, 44, was arrested as she was preparing to take an international flight from Boston.
Six additional defendants are pending extradition after they were taken into custody in Colombia and Thailand.
“What we’ve been able to accomplish is indict an international drug trafficking organisation and … uproot the leadership responsible for aggregating and transporting multi-tonne loads of cocaine,” federal prosecutor Benjamin Barron said.
“We are still very much on the hunt for him,” federal prosecutor Ryan Weinstein said.
Chavez-Gastelum has made millions by taking the drug operation into his own hands, Barron said, and has ordered the murders of several people who stole from him or cooperated with law enforcement officials.
The indictment includes two murders for which Chavez-Gastelum is suspected of being responsible. One victim’s torture and dismemberment was captured on a video obtained by officials.
Chavez-Gastelum is one of the world’s 30 most-wanted drug traffickers and commands multiple top representatives of the drug organisation, including Cuellar-Silva, according to a Justice Department statement.
If apprehended and convicted of taking part in a continuing criminal enterprise, Chavez-Gastelum would face a mandatory life sentence because he is accused of being its leader.
Cuellar-Silva and three others – including Chavez-Gastelum’s 27-year-old son, who is accused of running the criminal enterprise – would face mandatory minimum sentences of 20 years in prison if they are found guilty.
In 2016, two other drug kingpins were extradited from Colombia and are awaiting sentencing.
“This drug ring has spread death and misery across the Americas and to other parts of the world, which makes this case among the most significant drug trafficking cases ever brought in this district,” US Attorney Nick Hanna said in a statement.

Head to the Nehru Stadium to get myths on HIV/AIDS dispelled. A three–day youth carnival to create awareness of AIDS was inaugurated by Health Minister M R K Panneerselvam here on Tuesday.
The carnival, comprising sports and cultural programmes, has been organised by the Tamil Nadu State AIDS Control Society (TANSACS) to get the message of HIV/AIDS prevention across to the youth.
In Tamil Nadu, 30 per cent of those in the age group of 17 to 21 were HIV–positive, Panneerselvam said. He said a main reason for this was the large number of distractions available for teenagers. "If a teenager crosses that particular age group without indulging in any wrong activity, he is safe for a lifetime. But if during that sensitive period, he is distracted from studies and sports, he is spoilt for life," he warned. He encouraged the youth to involve themselves in sports and studies.
Health Secretary V K Subburaj said the youth carnival would provide students with an opportunity to express their ideas on HIV/AIDS in different ways. Events such as volleyball, basketball, football and various competitions to portray one’s artistic skills will be organised at the stadium. Over 1.5 lakh students from across the State are participating in it.

I went to see Holly when my normal hair gal was out with a family medical issue and WOW! I have naturally blonde hair and dyed it dark brown a few months ago. Between the two inches of blonde regrowth and gray coming in, I hard a hard line to the dark brown. I had a mess. I was desperate to get back to blonde and was hoping to do it with some simple highlights. Despite the fact that I scheduled a partial highlight online, Holly spent all afternoon fixing my hair and getting the brown to lift. I am beyond impressed and will be back to see her for sure! You can’t beat someone who won’t let you leave their chair until you’re happy...even if it takes half a day. Thank you, Holly! I don’t know what I would have done if I’d landed in less skilled hands!
Another amazing cut! Thank you Holly!
Holly has been doing my hair for 19+ years and I'm always happy with what she does! And she is so much fun to talk with and has the best energy....highly recommend her!

Whether you are a new doctor to the healthcare field or a veteran, you certainly know how difficult it can be to maintain that work-life balance. However, work-life balance is essential not just for completing your work but also being able to do it to the highest standards. If you do not make enough time for yourself and your own needs you will find that your practice also diminishes with time. So what are some of the best tips for being able to integrate a work-life balance and ensure that whether you are a Locum doctor or use a Locum medical agency, you are always ready when the need arises?
It’s an old saying but still one that is just applicable in the 21st century as it was in ancient times and that is doctors often need to make time to treat themselves. This does not mean treat themselves medically necessarily but it does include doing things like treating their body correctly. It can be very easy for Locum doctors or those using a Locum medical agency to find themselves in poor health due to an inability to either workout or make time to do things for their body to keep themselves healthy.
Something you can do is to simply schedule in time for your own workouts. Even if it’s something like 30 minutes of walking a day or picking a time to do some meal prep to ensure that you have healthy food for the week, there are plenty of very simple ways to take care of your own physical health.
Doctors often have lower life expectancies than many in the general population. This is partly because doctors often do not take the time to see to their own needs due to the busyness of their schedule and a perceived inability to find time. As the old adage goes, the only way to find the time to do something is to make the time to do it. Helping take care of your body with regular exercise as well as eating healthy in will help ensure that you are up to the physically demanding tasks that may be asked of you as a physician.
Treating yourself does not only mean taking care of your body; it is also important to take care of your mental state as well. Working as a Locum doctor or a full-time doctor can be hugely stressful and weigh heavily upon your psyche, but there are important things that you need to do to make sure you have clarity for conducting your work as well as being able to detach from it when you get home. Even if your body is home, if your mind is not then you are still not detaching yourself from the stress or concerns of your job.
It’s an old rule to not take your work home with you more than you can help. Purposefully taking the time to think about other things, to do stuff that you enjoy, watch a movie that you like or take time to think about other things is so important. Even at work itself, taking just a few minutes for yourself to clear and rest your mind when you find that you are becoming stressed or overtired is an excellent way of ensuring the continuation of your mental health.
This one can often be difficult for many doctors to do but it is a necessary part of being a physician and that is learning to delegate less important tasks to other individuals. Even if you are a Locum doctor or got the job with a Locum app, there will be other people nearby who are ready, willing, and able to help assist you in your workload. Being willing to subdivide tasks can help make sure you do not take on too much for yourself. Do you really need to walk the results of that lab down yourself? Do you really have to do a lot of the pre-work or paperwork?
The truth is, you are surrounded by highly qualified medical staff and relying upon them to help assist you when you become overloaded will ensure not only your well-being but the well-being of your patients as well.
Delegating tasks can even include working with Doqtorific and letting them help find work for you as a Locum doctor so you do not need to take that stress upon yourself. Utilising Doqtorific is a fantastic way of outsourcing your job search as Doqtorific works to find short-term doctor positions which can help give variety to your work, another important part of maintaining your mental and physical health.
If you follow these tips for helping protect your body your mind as well as learning to delegate tasks, you will find yourself in an ideal position of not just dealing with stress but living longer, feeling better, and enjoying your career as never before.

Three decades have elapsed since Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure last underwent revision. Taking a cue from proposed amendments prepared by the Civil Rules Advisory Committee, Professor Cooper asks whether now is the appropriate time to revise Rule 23. In this Articl e he identifis three potential "big changes" to the Rule. subsantially curtailing class actions; accommodating the needs of mass-tort actions; and recognizing the class as an entity, distinct from Its representatives. After outlining and critiquing the Advisory Committee's draf4 Professor Cooper raises a host of questions about many aspects of Rule 23 and suggests that perhaps we do not know enough about the operation of the current version of the Rule to undertake effective reform. Although he cautions against revision of Rule 23 before we obtain answers to some of the questions posed, Professor Cooper remains optimistic that the Rule can be improved in some ways without great cost.

Some 10 percent of American adults regularly take an omega-3 supplement, despite uncertainty about whether these products truly live up to their health claims. But two new studies published in November 2018 shed some light on who might benefit from omega-3 supplements — and who probably won't.
"The findings are somewhat complex and nuanced. It's not a simple yes, or no, or one-size-fits-all answer. Some groups tended to benefit, while other groups didn't," says Dr. Manson.
Although a daily 1-gram omega-3 supplement did not significantly reduce major cardiovascular events over all, there was a 28% reduction in heart attacks and promising signals for other heart-related endpoints, she says. While the supplement didn't seem to protect most healthy people against future heart problems, certain groups did appear to benefit, particularly people who ate less than 1.5 servings of fish a week or didn't eat fish at all. "For these people, there was a significant 19% reduction in the primary endpoint of major cardiovascular events, with a 40 percent reduction in heart attacks," says Dr. Manson.
The supplements also appeared to benefit African American participants, who saw a 77% reduction in heart attack for those receiving the omega-3 supplement, compared with those taking the placebo, says Dr. Manson. It's unclear why this group benefited more, and additional studies are needed to confirm the finding.
High doses of omega-3 supplements, like the high-dose omega-3 product used in this trial, aren't appropriate for everyone because they pose risks, such as bleeding or an increase in a type of abnormal heart rhythm known as atrial fibrillation, says Dr. Manson. "However, while high doses are associated with some risk, overall benefits of the high-dose omega-3 product used in the trial appeared to outweigh the risks for people with high triglyceride levels and a history of, or at high risk of, cardiovascular disease," says Dr. Manson.
• A 1-gram dose, unless your doctor recommends more.
• A combination of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Each of these fatty acids provides different health benefits.
• A quality supplement. Good quality indicators are seals from U.S. Pharmacopeia, NSF International, or ConsumerLab.com.
• People in good health. If you're healthy and at low or average risk for heart disease, chances are you don't need an omega-3 supplement, provided you eat fish often, says Dr. Manson. You should eat at least two servings a week of fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, or herring. Aim for fish that are high in two different omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), each of which provides unique health benefits.
Getting your omega-3 fatty acids from food is always preferable to a supplement. Not only do you get the marine omega-3 fatty acids from the fish, but you also potentially replace less healthful foods in your diet, such as red meat, processed foods, or refined grains, says Dr. Manson. "It's a good lifestyle change to make and has been a recommendation for a while. Nothing in these studies supersedes the recommendation for moderate fish intake," she says.
• Non–fish eaters and African Americans. However, if you can't eat fish or don't like fish, an omega-3 supplement is something to consider. (Algae-based supplements are an option if you are a vegetarian or allergic to fish.) African Americans might also consider a supplement because of the unique benefits revealed in this trial.
For these two groups, a daily 1-gram supplement could provide a good balance between safety and efficacy. "Talk to your health care provider about whether you're a candidate for a supplement," says Dr. Manson.
• Already taking omega-3s? If you're already taking an over-the-counter omega-3 supplement, you don't necessarily need to stop taking it if you don't fall into one of the categories above, unless your doctor tells you to. But if you're not taking an omega-3 supplement, whether you should start really depends on your individual risk factors, says Dr. Manson.
Regardless of whether you opt for an omega-3 supplement, you should always strive to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. "No dietary supplement is a substitute. We already know that, and I think this is an important point to reinforce," says Dr. Manson. "Healthy lifestyle practices, including regular physical activity, healthy diet, and not smoking, will reduce heart disease risk by close to 80 percent, and that's really the main recommendation for heart health," she says.
• Cardiovascular risk factors. If you have an elevated triglyceride level and a history of cardiovascular disease or have major risk factors for it, a high-dose omega-3 medication may be advisable. This is true even if you're already taking a statin medication. The omega-3 drug does not replace the statin.
Key takeaways: Omega-3 supplements likely won't benefit people who eat at least 1.5 servings of fish per week. Omega-3 supplements may benefit people with low fish consumption or those with African American heritage.

For a guy who doesn’t care much about sports, it’s an odd situation that I have spent two consecutive Saturday nights at the Oakland Coliseum complex. Last week the fights, this week an A’s game.
Sally Woolsey is a huge baseball fan, holder of Oakland A’s season tickets. Once a year she and Kit rent a suite and invite their friends; last night was the night. Gail and I were privileged to be on the guest list. Gail was glued to the Olympics and couldn’t be budged, but I never say no to a party and off I went.
Paul McDaniel was at will call with the ticket, and then we had to walk to the complete other side of the building where the suite entrance is. There are 3 or 4 floors of suites, and I think we walked them all before we found the right place. I now have done my exercise for the month.
Granddaughter Juliette and her dad.
Judah in front, the baby having fun with the mirror.
Yes, there are fine comfortable seats in a suite. Sometimes you just don’t want to use them.
The hostess is entitled to the best seat in the house.
For a bridge player like me, this was the tall cotton. I got to sit there for three hour and talk (mostly listen) to high level bridge and bridge gossip. That’s about as good as it gets for me.
There was a buffet with hot dogs (of course), BBQ pork, chicken, potatoes and veggies. Huge fruit trays. Fresh cookies arrived. Chips and dip, popcorn, peanuts in the shell. Wine, beer, soft drinks. The Coliseum does a good job of provisioning a party.
OK, a couple more kid pictures, just because I like them.
It’s always nice to see couples who still like to be close.
Spending a few minutes actually watching the game.
I had a great time. I spent hours with my friends, ate too much, did the Wave and went home happy. Thanks Sally. Thanks Kit.

It's much of what people discuss, and mostly what we have in common - the weather. The weather will surely be an impactful factor on our trip; both in how it affects us (travel times, comfort, mobility, packing, site seeing)...as well as what we are missing back home.
California is in a severe and dangerous winter drought, and Chicago is entering a second Polar Vortex next week with below zero temperatures again. Our best wishes go out to our friends and family in each of those places.
Down here in Buenos Aires, it has been consistently between 90 - 102 F degrees since we arrived with close to 100% humidity. Not much fun in the middle of the day. Yesterday and today, however, the hot weather broke, and we have 75 degrees with a cool breeze coming off of the Rio Plata and it feels like a whole new city. Lovely.
Climate Specialist say the ideal temperature for humans is between 70 and 75 degrees F., so in keeping true to our math home studies of Mean, Median, and Mode, I wondered why people in the U.S. retire to the hotter climates of Florida and Arizona, and not more to regions where they have the most days in the 70's - and I'm not referring to Average Temp. (or Mean), but most actual days in the 70's (or Mode). So my quick online (consumer) research revealed a lot of inconclusive data and mostly Temperatures Averages, not actual days of temperatures (although Suzanne showed me a website that teaches more professional and educational search techniques that don't always default to Wikipedia, so I will do that next). So far I'm seeing Central California as the place - right around Santa Barbara, but I'm suspecting that maybe the Carolina's would also be in the running.
So stay warm, cool, dry or wet, wherever you are, and I'll ask about your weather the next time I see you!
Here's to that ideal 75 degrees.
Have to admit that 102 sounds ideal to me right now. We are getting crushed by this winter. You picked the right year to get outta here!
Yes, we did. And we have "Survivor's Guilt" about it. It was eerie as we took off just as the first storm came in, and I mean literally.

Winter is on its way! The leaves have changed, the temperatures are starting to drop, and the winter jackets are coming out. And while most people know how to prepare themselves for winter in NYC – invest in a warm jacket, hat, gloves etc… we don’t always know how, or if, we should be taking steps to prepare our apartments as well. In the article, we’ve put together a couple tips to help you stay warm, save money, and avoid stress this winter in NYC.
Sealing a draft in your apartment before it gets too cold is a serious life-hack! Drafts from windows and doors let in cold air and allow warm air to escape and the colder the temperature outside the greater their effect. In the heart of winter an unattended draft can significantly cool your apartment and make your heating bill skyrocket. In order to proactively avoid this, be sure to find and seal them before they become a problem!
To quickly find drafts in your apartment – light a candle and hold it up to the edges of each window and door in your apartment. If the flame flickers – you probably have a draft nearby. Sometimes you can even feel the draft by patting the edges of your windows and doors.
If you find a window draft, seal the area with weatherproofing tape. If you find a door draft – try installing a door sweep. If that doesn’t work, contact your landlord, or a hardware store like home depot for specific advice on DIY door insulation for your apartment.
Even if you don’t have any obvious window drafts, windows are major source of heat loss in any apartment and so taking steps to insulate them can save you a lot of energy. To do it effectively, use weather stripping and cover your windows with insulation sheets (or even bubble wrap). This is a very important step in keeping the cold air out and the hot air in. Closing your curtains, or putting up a tapestry/blanket over the insulation sheet while you are out of the apartment can also help a lot to keep your apartment warm.
Don’t have rodents in your apartment? Let’s keep it that way. When the weather outside gets cold, rodents start looking for warm places to live. And their search for warmth is often not limited to the first floor of an apartment building.
To prevent mice, rats and other pests from coming inside, inspect the outside and inside perimeters of your apartment for any holes or cracks before it gets too cold. If you find a hole, or multiple holes, fill them with caulk, steel wool or wire mesh. If you find a hole that you think might be too small, fill it anyway. Pests, especially mice, are surprisingly talented at fitting through the smallest of holes.
Whether you have central heating and air, or gas heaters, nothing is worse than having a poorly working or broken heating system in the middle of the winter. In order to avoid this – take all the necessary steps to make sure that your heating system if operating properly.
If you have air circulation – replacing your air filters will help warm air circulate more efficiently and this will save you lots of energy and money. If you have ceiling fans – changing the rotation of the blades will cause the fans to push cold air up and warm air down – also warming your apartment and helping you save.

I had so much fun the other day buying spices in Jerusalem. First of all, I am a spice freak, nut… whatever you want to call me. Some people buy gadgets. Others buy clothes. While still others purchase shoes. I indulge in spices. Every exotic blend I can lay my hands on… comes home with me.
The cute, young Israeli guy that helped did not speak a word of English. I mean not a syllable. I don’t think he would have understood, “yes or no.” He was a Jew from Yemen.
Anyway, this spice boy was so cute and completely undaunted by my rusty Hebrew. I didn’t know the names of all the spices I wanted to buy, so he asked me questions about the colors, smells, and tastes. We sort of played a game, and we both enjoyed it.
A couple of spices we couldn’t figure out, so we walked through the store together looking for an English speaker who knew the spice in both Hebrew and English.
This is the one that gave us the most trouble: “cousbarah,” or coriander. Above is dried coriander. My Israeli helper and I could not find anyone that knew what coriander was in English. We walked all over the store until we found a young Israeli man that spoke excellent English.
But at the moment, I was privately thinking this is so ironic. Coriander should be the most common spice in Israel. It was what manna was like—the food that was left by God and fell like dew–when the Israelite wandered through the wilderness. They ate it everyday and stored extra for the Sabbath.
My experience with coriander, sometimes called “cilantro,” is that you really, really like it or you don’t. I love it. But I have found lots of people that feel otherwise.
But my latest favorite spice is the one in photo above, “sumac.” I put it in salad dressings, use as a meat rub or marinade, or in soups and rice. I put it in my very favorite Mid Eastern salad “Fatoush.” Here’s good recipe, if you are interested.
It is not to be confused with the tree that grows in North America, sumac. It is a berry that comes from a bush that grows wild in the Mediterranean and really worth finding because it really deepens the flavor of many dishes.
Well, I have a good start on my spices. I still haven’t found ginger or turmeric or lemon grass, but all in good time. I also found these cute little spice jars and transferred them from the plastic bags they came in. I love buying spices here at a spice stand, because they are incredibly FRESH! In fact, when I first got hooked on spices was when I tasted fresh nutmeg a number of years ago. I discovered that I liked it better than cinnamon!
Once Martha Stewart, American homemaking diva, was asked what her favorite spice was. Her reply, “Salt.” Immediately, I thought, “How mundane. How prosaic.” Martha! But after giving it some thought, I think salt is the one seasoning that would be really hard to give up. Harder than sugar or anything, even nutmeg.
If you don’t know, I am great admirer of Martha. I love what she had done for the art of homemaking, entertaining, and cooking. She raised it from the post-feminists’ era of disdain to a prized gift to cultivate. She brought dignity to the home and especially those who create beautiful, economical, and inviting spaces for family and friends. That is my heart exactly.
I am glad you found sumac and are using it regularly! I love spices too. I especially love those unique spice blends you find in Israel with nuts and onions and herbs. Also, I am definitely more and more into using artisanal salts, for color and flavor. It can make an ordinary dish, POP! Love you and shabbat shalom.
It’s PINK and it has a lemony quality— Could you possibly help me with the name— my neighbor is from JORDAN and he’s going back in a week- if I can get the name I might can get him to get me some while he’s gone. Love you guys. Tell Wayne, and the Benjamins Hi please!
Pink lemony quality = sumac. use it a lot in middle eastern cooking.
I love spices, too! Where did you find the cute little jars? I was just thinking the other day that I need to organize my spices. And what spice shop were you at? There’s a good one on David St. close to the Jaffa Gate.
Hey, Bonnie, you know me………………basic meat and potatoes or better yet, Saviagno’s or Nikko or St martin’s or……………… But, Olen and I both enjoyed this blog very much. I LOVE cilantro, he’s not crazy about it although he eats it ’cause it’s in a lot of good stuff!
MOM!! I have NO idea how I am suppose to use this blog thing….

The combination of industrial capitalism and the common Protestant (particularly Calvinistic) notion of depravity, and more specifically “imperfectability” (i.e. the “Constrained Vision” outlined by Thomas Sowell) lead to a scenario wherein competition is the answer to economic woes, yet outcomes cannot truly be judged.
Capitalism and competition are offered as the best possible solution, yet due to the accepted imperfectability of life in this world all shortcomings can be effectively swept under the rug as less bad than it might have been.
Could it be that in the end industrial capitalism has simply evaded judgement by being a more pessimistic, and thus harder to evaluate, ideological panacea?
I have had this thought before, too. P.S., did you mean “evaded” instead of “routed” judgment?
Yes, I meant evaded. Fixed.

Sounds pretty much like just another school project to me.
If you need to ask what to do with it and how it simply means there is something very vital missing.
So you bought a Cmucam4 and Arduino, and don't know what to build with them?
What is your skill level? What kind of projects are you interested in?

Because I own a metaphysical bookstore and have read many of the books on relationships, I expected myself to move quickly beyond this confusion. But this journey was moving in a manner and time far beyond my control. My mind obviously didn’t know what was happening, so my body began speaking up; anxiety attacks arose within me with no known cause, and I would wake at four AM with bolts of electric energy running through me. For months my sleep was disturbed.
As my body chemistry began shifting, I took myself to a therapist—a man who loved the books in my shop and who had a gutsy acceptance of the dark side of life. Because I believe the spiritual and the emotional are so bound up with issues around forgiveness of our humanness, I chose a man who was familiar with this territory. I didn’t want to do a spiritual by-pass on anything—I wanted to question myself, my partner, my spirituality, my expectations, and…to fix it!
The first issues to come up were not about my marriage, but were around my inability to forgive a betrayal in friendship and the constant pain of dealing with the suffering of my aging mother. Week after week I turned my attention to the work I was doing with the therapist, and I began feeling loved, heard, understood. I became more receptive and began seeing meaningful connections in my life. I learned how to hold and protect myself by aligning myself with a higher power, and soon felt “full” enough to forgive my friend.
I also noticed that the deep and intimate relationship with the therapist stood in sharp contrast to the lack of intimacy in my marriage, and I began aching for that type of emotional presence that I had with him. I tried to bridge the gap, but my partner and I had no common language; he didn’t like delving into an area which he had no words for. And he wasn’t feeling good. In his own way and without words, he was hurting deeply and grieving too.
I however, was not only in the process of discovery and healing, but of living an illusion of sorts: I had projected my soul, my “animus” (as the Jungians would say) onto my therapist and withdrew energy from my marriage. I turned to the therapy, to books, to God, to going back to school, to writing. My expectations of how it should all be were falling apart but I was going as fast as I could to hold onto something.
As the dependency and transference of love to my therapist slowly began to release itself, I felt the growing pains of my neglected marriage. I was plain lonely, and couldn’t deny that I was moving through hell, like Persephone, always struggling to get unstuck and up into the light again. But my partner disassociated himself from my hell, my pain, and withdrew himself into his work. I felt that I was holding all the darkness and pain or our life. I wrote poetry and yearned for a deeper love. As the denial fell away, we tried in all the old ways; we held tight to being responsible to our duties and we tried couple’s counseling, but it simply brought up more sadness.
Synchronistic events often mark transitions, and that winter the diamond simply fell out of my wedding ring and was lost. With a cold and poignant sweetness, my partner and I decided to try to give each other the only thing that was left: freedom.
Yet nothing changed our lives and the fluctuating denial we clung to—until my body demanded to be heard. I went for a mammogram and it came back undeniably questionable. After many x-rays, I was advised to go to Boston specialty clinic and get the definitive results. Maybe I had cancer. My partner did not offer to go with me that day; this “emergency” was seen as a part of my fearfulness, my dark drama, not his. A friend went with me that crucial day as I found out I was not a victim to cancer, but to a broken heart.
Someone once said to me a rather sexist comment about separations: women grieve, men leave. Perhaps it is the feminine in all of us that grieves, and the masculine part that takes action. That day, I clearly saw my self-imposed victim-hood and chose to leave. The masculine part of me rose up in anger, in freedom, and in the middle of a raging snowstorm—I moved out. I found a new place to live that very day, and summoned up all the courage I could to face the inevitable void.
It wasn’t so bad at first. My creative juices flowed into making a new nest for myself, and before long I began dating. Maybe I could just get over it, let go, and get on with life. No drama. But all the beautiful and sweet moments of our marriage kept creeping back into my psyche. The feminine grieving had a grip on me. I couldn’t let go and I found myself crying at every turn.
I’ve heard it said that suffering is a hard kind of grace that teaches us compassion. For twenty years I’d worked on a dream that was now shattered and I expected myself to just get over it. My persona of self-sufficiency hid my aching desire to be held in sweet surrender in a lover’s heart. I was just beginning a crash course in compassion—compassion for myself and for all others who have lived through great suffering. Is it trite to say I was finally getting in touch with my true feelings? That I was outraged, terribly sad, and pissed as hell that it might take a very long time before I could go for more than two hours—or two days without crying?
Dating seemed like the best cure—or was it revenge? And it did feel good to have those “highs” of being seen and heard and courted. Yet by the end of that summer I stopped my dating. And that’s when he began his serious dating. At this point all I could do was grieve and rage at our loss.
It must have been toxic right down to my gut, for when my body acted up again, this time it was with a serious attack of appendicitis that put me in the hospital for over a week. The toxicity had spread, and at one point I thought that death was not a totally unwelcome probability. My therapist visited me daily. My husband, who was very busy with his new love at this time, reluctantly went through the motions of getting me released from the hospital, but he wasn’t willing to sit and be with me in my fragile state. Twenty years of marriage sat face to face with twenty days of his new love, and she won.
I remember the night before leaving the hospital—I raged at his coldness, wrote volumes in my journal, and thought: “I don’t have to burn anymore—I can chose to let it go.” Nearly exhausted, but fueled by my anger, I got out of my hospital bed, turned up the music on my radio, and began dancing like a naked solitary spirit; moving my body slowly and rhythmically, letting it all go once again. I was being released. Something new was being born in me at that moment.
The next day I felt a great sense of gratitude for simply being alive. I knew I had to endure some suffering, but I didn’t have to be a victim. I didn’t have to shame or blame. And when my partner came to get me I had burned through to the place in me which knew that we were both doing the best we could, and that we didn’t know how to do it any better at the time.
“Letting go” is what I do now, over and over again. I realize how hard it is for me to let go to all the ways of thinking that trick me into believing that I am separate from the rest of humanity and special in my suffering. Yet it’s only when I feel that I’m letting go into ‘something’-- into a spiritual process that is greater than my small ego-- that it feels right.
Poetry and prayer are powerful messengers and healers. When I’m feeling vulnerable, and being the earnest striving person that I often am, then I tell God what I need—one form of prayer. But when I live from the part of me that trusts, then I listen and ask, rather than talk—another form of prayer. And I’ve been wondering lately: what is God asking me to see or do at this moment? At these times I often find or write a poem that speaks directly to my heart. There’s often a question being asked or answered, and when I’m receptive, I get it.
Get what? The answer I get is to go on being a person worth loving, and to “cocoon.” That is, to process what’s happening by giving myself the time and space to do it without expecting too much too soon. And as I do this I tend to suspect that I --or God?-- have been orchestrating a release from a relationship that simply had run its course. And so I constantly choose to move from an attitude of victim-hood and blaming to one in which I own my power and responsibility.
Cocooning has its own rewards—while my heart waits to know one special love again, there is still grace and synchronicity everywhere, and I strive to be busy with the work I feel called to do. Sometimes I doubt myself, but mostly I have faith. I believe that as my heart was breaking, it was also breaking open and softening, rather than closing and hardening. I’m choosing to soften, and to honor the truth of my story. Despite the wounds I gave and received, I strive to look at this separation with spiritual eyes, sensing that there is a meaning and a blessing here.
Cocooning into a greater consciousness is the great work for me now; and it’s a daily job that brings not joy, but contentment. And when I feel the little unexpected graces—that surprise call from an old friend perhaps—then I know that while my heart heals, I am being held, and I trust.
“You seem to have led a charmed life,” her words echoed uncomfortably in my ears. Yes, after twenty years of marriage all the visible markers of a charmed and successful life were in place: a healthy child, a thriving business, and a beautiful home.

We walked for hours feeling Van Gogh.
You talked apertures, lens and focus.

You said—“Pull the curtains,” and I pulled the heavy curtains back.
I read you a poem by candlelight.

The Guild of St Clare held its first ever National Training Day today, at the Royal School of Needlework, Hampton Court Palace. Twelve Guild members travelled to the magnificent Tudor palace to learn Beginners' Ecclesiastical Goldwork.
Representatives of all three chapters of the Guild were present. The ladies from Birmingham had the longest journey - one lucky London member lives just a few minutes away.
The standard of tuition at the Royal School of Needlework is always extremely high and we were very fortunate today to have the supervision of Heather Lewis, a graduate of the RSN with a great deal of conservation experience.
We were very grateful for the lavish refreshments provided at mid-morning!
We were kept hard at work, learning the various different skills needed to complete the project.
Which way up does this thing go again?

This is a collage of my work as the day progressed. The complete purple sampler at the bottom is the work of our tutor, Heather Lewis.
One respect in which we were really impressed by the RSN staff was their willingness to help us with our own voluntary work. One of the Birmingham Guild members brought a damaged cope, covered with goldwork, with her, and the RSN teachers were most generous with their advice, even going so far as to make a list of the threads that would be necessary to complete the reparations. Their reward will be great in heaven!
The day would have been incomplete without a visit to the RSN shop - we invested very wisely in books and sewing kits.
The day was enormously enjoyed by all, and another date will be speedily booked! Please continue to pray for the growth of this most promising apostolate.
Outstanding article Foods Embroidery Designs, thank you so much for sharing this article.

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is responsible for managing banking relationships.
Top Management is responsible for overseeing banking relations and approving bank management authorities (e.g., ability to open, close accounts).
Sweep Account – Bank account that, at the close of each business day, automatically transfers funds that exceed or fall short of a specified amount into or from a higher-interest earning account.
Plus, in these times it may not be a bad idea to discuss the bank’s liquidity and financial stability, especially if you have money in non-insured accounts. Be prepared to ask questions that require details, not unresponsive platitudes. Don’t be afraid to ask follow up questions if answers are not satisfactory, after all, your money is in that bank. The bank sure doesn’t hesitate to grill you about your business when the money flows the other way.
Besides creating an agenda, other planning activities prior to the meeting could include reviewing account statements to ensure the information about rates and fees are accurate and up-to-date. Also consider reviewing the bank’s website and promotional materials. Are they offering better rates or services to newly opened account holders? Is that fair to a loyal customer like you?
Another prudent measure would be to talk to your bank’s competitors about their account options and rates. It may not be wise to switch banks every time one offers a slightly higher rate or a slightly lower fee, but due diligence is also exercised by knowing your banking options. If a competitor consistently has advantageous rates and services, and perhaps meets other criteria as well (professional representatives, convenient location, etc;), then you may want to consider starting a relationship with that bank.
Transparency and due diligence is needed all through your business, but especially in the financial operations. An easy first step is transparency and due diligence that help manage your banking relationship.

What's "In the Works" for Gary Rawnsley?
Professor Gary D. Rawnsley is Professor of Public Diplomacy in the Department of International Politics at Aberystwyth University in the United Kingdom. A self-confessed "Soft Power Agnostic," Rawnsley began his career in public diplomacy in the early 1980's as a teenager writing regularly for Shortwave Magazine; his focus of study then, and now, is the intersection of international communications and international relations. He is particularly interested in East Asia, and has written on soft power, public diplomacy, and cultural diplomacy in China, Taiwan, Korea, and Vietnam.
Rawnsley’s current project is a study of Taiwan’s public diplomacy, documenting the shift from political warfare (outlined in his 2000 book, Taiwan’s Informal Diplomacy and Propaganda) to a form of external communications. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of how states with few major diplomatic allies use public diplomacy to compensate for their deficiencies in the ‘hard power’ domain.
Rawnsley intends to be in Taiwan in the summer of 2016 where he plans to research public diplomacy in the non-governmental sector, especially by the Tzu Chi Buddhist Foundation.
He is co-editing two books: The Routledge Handbook of Soft Power with Naren Chitty, Craig Hayden and Lilian Ji (which includes Rawnsley’s chapter on Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy); and Taiwan Cinema, International Reception and Social Change with Kui-fen Chiu and Ming-Yeh Rawnsley. He remains interested in international broadcasting – the subject that inspired him to undertake a PhD in Cold War Radio Broadcasting in the early 1990s – and is editing a special issue of Media and Communication on Public Diplomacy and International Broadcasting. He is also working on a critique of soft power based on his chapter, “Reflections of a Soft Power Agnostic,” recently published in China's Soft Power in Africa: Promotions and Perceptions, edited by Zhang Xiaoling, Herman Wasserman, and Winston Mano. He is co-editor with Ming-Yeh Rawnsley of the Routledge Handbook of Chinese Media that includes his chapter on China’s International Broadcasting. With his new PhD student, Marcello de Souza Freitas, he is learning all about Brazil's public and cultural diplomacy.
