Some people get tired of the stress and anxiety involved in visiting the big theme parks, especially with children. If you're a little burned out from Orlando's excess, you don't have to go very far from Tampa to find a fun, educational attraction that's still small enough to let the kids run free.
Dinosaur World is located just outside of town on I-4 in Plant City. It features over 150 life-size models of various species of dinosaurs, from the really tiny to the Tyrannosaurus, arranged around a wooded natural trail.

They recently opened a 12 acre expansion of the park that doubled the size of their property and added some great new features:
Key in the expansion was the addition of a Prehistoric Museum that houses an animatronic dinosaur exhibit and hundreds of actual fossils.
A Fossil Dig lets guests dig for their own authentic fossils. As they say in the schoolyards, it's "finders keepers" if you find one.
Two new playgrounds make sure the kids fall asleep on the way home from the park.
They also added a 5,000 square foot gift shop and a new entrance to the park.
Dinosaur World always had a kitschy, roadside appeal, but simply wasn't big enough to take up more than an afternoon. With this expansion, it's quite easy to spend the day in an ancient world. Kids always leave the park in absolute awe.

1.7 Intended uses of the Encyclopedia
A project of this kind evokes amongst some the response "Why bother, when we already know what ought to be done?" Who, after all, needs another book parading the range of problems with which the global community is confronted? Key people no longer have time to read more than one page summaries and each international body is acting as best it can to contain the problems to which it is sensitive.
In 1984 the Director of Political Affairs of one major intergovernmental body considered this project both presumptuous and ridiculous. He then went on to argue that problems did not "exist" in a way which allowed them to be identified and described in a book. For his institution they were agenda items which came and went according to the political currents of the moment, ceasing to "exist" once his organization was no longer obliged by political pressures to deal with them.
Others would argue that it is a grave mistake to focus on problems in any way because this "gives them energy", hindering the necessary "positive thinking" from which appropriate social transformation can emerge. There is widespread belief that the action required can be simply defined. Food aid is a topical example, although even major intergovernmental bodies are now acknowledging the counter-productive aspects of such generosity. A modicum of humility would require the recognition that most seemingly positive initiatives have at least minor counter-productive effects - omelettes cannot be made without breaking eggs.
There are however many who point out that international institutions are not containing the problems faced by the global community; rather they are being overwhelmed by them. To function at all, such bodies have to concentrate on very small portions of the pattern of problems, denying the relevance of other portions or even their very existence. This is especially the case when they are constrained to prove the value of their own initiatives even though they may aggravate such other problems. Many claim to know what needs to be focused on, or done, or avoided to resolve the crisis - if only everybody else would subscribe to their particular set of priorities. In such a context it is appropriate to present these many "action vectors" within a single framework, in effect bringing them collectively to consciousness rather them denying or repressing those which do not fall neatly within some favourite paradigm.
This Encyclopedia is therefore intended for those who question whether they are receiving information from a sufficiently broad range of perspectives. It is for those who believe that much might be learnt from the variety of perspectives on what constitute significant problems and significant responses to them. In particular it is for those who recognize the possible dangers and limitations of attempting to filter this variety down to a handful of "essential" problems which can be appropriately contained by a single policy, strategy or blueprint based on a single conceptual framework guided by a single set of values. The decision that any particular class of information in the Encyclopedia is irrelevant can be seen as raising valuable questions as to the nature of the assumptions on which each such judgement is made.
It is expected that the majority of readers will use this book to locate specific items or groups of information. Some users will respond to the challenge of ordering, comprehending and presenting such a range of information in new ways, because of the extent to which it reflects the variety of issues with which people and groups identify and by which they are motivated. It is hoped that some will also be further stimulated to explore the possibility of patterned dynamic relationships between incompatible conceptual languages, encompassing the discontinuity between them, in order to develop a dynamic conceptual foundation appropriate to the global order of the future.
The users of this volume will therefore include:
1. Commercial enterprises and entrepreneurs
Corporations concerned with navigating in a complex and turbulent social environment can detect problems which may affect them, whether directly or indirectly. For them, problems may also be looked upon as potential business opportunities, since some require heavy investment for remedial action.
Seemingly trivial problems, such as acne, may represent an important market. Each problem can be viewed as affecting or concerning a portion of the population. As such there is a potential market associated with each problem. Corporations may respond to this market with remedial products (as in the case of water pollution), with consultancy and other services (as in the case of environmental impact assessment), or with publication and information services (as with registers of pollutants).
2. Education
The information may be used in programmes with students in many fields who need to acquire an overview of the range of global issues, how they may relate to one another, and the difficulties of ordering such information within one conceptual framework. Of special interest is not only the information given here but also its weaknesses and the controversies associated with particular claims or counter-claims. It is an interesting challenge to students to attempt to detect problems which are not present here, especially in the light of their awareness of problems in their own environment. Such explorations can be extended to the international organizations supposedly concerned with the problem area.
3. Integrative studies
University departments (international relations, environment, law, social science) concerned with interdisciplinary issues can use it to stimulate discussion among students. It should be of particular value to departments responsible for designing general studies programmes for students.
4. Policy development
In many ways the Encyclopedia provides a form of checklist for policy-related issues. Ideally in attempting to elaborate a policy framework in a particular domain, the information here could be used to identify related issues which may need to be taken into consideration and which would otherwise be neglected until too late. It is especially valuable for relationships between problems across disciplinary and paradigm boundaries. For, whether concerns are a matter of established fact or deeply held opinion, they may need to be given serious consideration in any policy design.
5. Management sciences
The total set of problems suggests interesting lines of research into the modes of governance in a complex environment. This is especially the case where the issue is how to manage networks of problems using cycles of policies which encompass more than one budgetary or electoral cycle.
6. Foresight and futures research
Because the data included covers both currently fashionable and seemingly marginal or improbable concerns, it provides a much more appropriate source for use in anticipating new kinds of issues which may emerge to greater prominence than can currently be imagined. Many problems registered reflect the concerns of groups sensitive to issues that conventional bodies are unable to recognize.
7. Government
The information here may be used by government departments designing programmes which need to be sensitive to problems and possibilities in other sectors. Of special interest is the possibility of using the identified problems as a checklist to determine which government department, if any, is concerned with each problem, and thus evoking discussion about issues which are not the explicit responsibility of any department.
8. Briefings
The Encyclopedia is an interesting background document for briefings of diplomats or members of delegations, whether for ministries of foreign affairs or for other bodies. As such it may also be used in training programmes. It provides a corrective to easy assumptions about mono-problem situations, based on single-factor explanations, leading to simplistic solutions.
9. Law and treaty preparation
Legal instruments are designed in part to regulate or contain problems. The range of problems included highlights the question of the degree of match between existing laws and the problems recognized in society. Does the existence of certain problems suggest the need for new laws, whether immediately or in a more distant future ?
10. International organizations
Governmental and nongovernmental bodies concerned with the potential range of problems should find it useful to explore this Encyclopedia when considering the design of new programmes. It could provoke useful discussion in the effort to locate counter-part organizations, focusing on related problems, with a view to collaboration or the exchange of information.
11. Information sciences
The Encyclopedia is basically an experiment in information collection and presentation. In order to handle the variety of fuzzily defined forms of data with which the Encyclopedia is concerned, methods have been used which raise interesting questions for further research in the information sciences, whether for classification theory or for the use of computers in database management, or in the graphic presentation and analysis of networks of concepts. The data may be used to test methods for handling such difficulties.
12. Expert systems
The data on the network of perceived problems continues to provide an interesting challenge to those working on expert systems and artificial intelligence because it is of a higher order of complexity than artificially constructed databases or those usually available. It should prove of even greater interest on CD-ROM and the Web.
13. Values and ethics research
Researchers grappling with the ill-defined fields of values, human development and states of consciousness, especially in their relationship to global problem-solving, will find an extensive range of information which is otherwise difficult to locate and assemble.
14. International relations
The Encyclopedia presents a much broader range than is usually available of information of potential interest to any research on international relations, especially that touching on international organizations. It raises many questions concerning the capacity of the network of international organizations to respond to the network of problems.
For those bodies concerned with potential (and low probability) threats to national and international security, and with facts leading to the destabilization of societies, the information collected suggests leads for further investigation. Of special interest are the ways in which several minor threats may combine or interact so as to constitute a major threat.
16. Challenge to creativity
There are bodies and individuals who are specifically interested in having their perspectives and priorities challenged as one way of learning how to learn. The range of information, and the manner of its organization, highlights new linkages and evokes new levels of thinking. It reinforces recognition of the need for a paradigm shift. The information is a direct challenge to fixed patterns of thinking.
17. Foundations and funding agencies
A factor contributing to the difficulty in launching new initiatives is that funding agencies tend themselves to be locked into particular, and often outdated, patterns of priorities. The information collected here offers alternative perspectives which may suggest more fruitful approaches. It is also valuable in providing a sense of context for specific initiatives.
The information gathered here constitutes a rich guide to possibilities for new investigatory reports and documentaries. It also offers perspectives from which established positions can be fruitfully challenged in any interview.
19. Human development programme design
The range of information on human development and modes of awareness provides a rich and unique source of insight into new possibilities for research in this area. It serves to demonstrate the scope of human development, as seen from many cultural perspectives. It provides reminders that there are many unexplored opportunities for human development whose existence has not been widely recognized. It is a direct challenge to the simplistic understanding of human development evident in official policies.
20. Imaginative responses to intractable problems
The information gathered here, and especially in Volume 2 (Section TZ), suggests the possibility of new ways of thinking about the intractable problems (such as unemployment, substance abuse, poverty, violence, and the like). Much of that volume points to existing disciplines, and other possibilities, for using the imagination to reconfigure or reframe such problems into a more tractable form -- whilst simultaneously re-imagining the self that is exposed to such problems. It raises the possibility that problems such as drug abuse may, at least in part, be a consequence of imaginal deficiency reinforced by authoritative repression of imagination.
21. Interactive access: CD-ROM and World Wide Web
The information in this Encyclopedia is also available on CD-ROM. As described in a following note (1.9), this will offer powerful new ways to explore and understand the problematique and approaches to it. Plans are also being made to make the information available on Internet in some form.

Art contest voting opens Wednesday
SEB encourages students to experience gallery, vote on scholarship winners, try free catered food in CUB
Student Gabby Oliva paints at the SEB Arts Hour event Jan. 19, 2017. Arts coordinator Devin Mendenhall said SEB will host more arts events.

WSU's Student Entertainment Board will exhibit art by finalists of the Beauty in Strange Places competition Wednesday from 12-8 p.m. in the CUB Junior Ballroom.
Artists had until Jan. 18 to enter their artwork into the competition. SEB members then selected finalists. WSU Arts Coordinator Devin Mendenhall helped SEB Arts Chair Tmnit Tewolde put together the competition.
"We highlight sports a lot, and we highlight music a lot on this campus," Mendenhall said. "We just really wanted to do an event that recognized student art here at WSU."
This competition is a good way to showcase students who are not a fine arts major, Tewolde said. All it takes is passion.
With this event, Tewolde said her goal was to recognize students who weren't necessarily art majors or minors in a way that their work would be seen by a wider audience.
"I feel like it's kind of hard for students to express themselves," Tewolde said. "Yeah, there's social media and stuff, but if they're brave enough to put their art out into the world and for their peers to see, they should be applauded for that."
Tewolde received about 50 submissions, Mendenhall said. She had a ranking system applied to all 50.
Many students submitted paintings or digital art, but they opened the contest up to music and videos, Tewolde said.
"Since the prize is scholarship money, I just found it would be a good opportunity for students to earn some extra cash," Tewolde said.
Tewolde said the theme, Beauty in Strange Places, is something all students could apply their skills to, without limitations.
"I had a bunch of themes," Tewolde said, "and I ran them through my committee, and they were all pretty basic ones like power and loss. But Beauty in Strange Places is something that can be interpreted in different ways."
Committee members will contact finalists about who won scholarship money on Feb. 15. In the meantime, students who attend the showing will be able to vote for a winner, according to the Facebook page.
"[Tewolde] wants everything to be interactive and students to be able to take part in it," Mendenhall said. "So we're thinking of the art competition and she's like, 'Oh, how can I make it so students are more involved, other than just showing up and looking at something?'"
Mendenhall said there could be another event like this in the future hosted in the gallery on the first floor of the CUB. He said that anyone who was too anxious to put their art out there shouldn't be afraid to give themselves a push.
"We're usually the worst critics of ourselves," Mendenhall. "If you're apprehensive, I feel like there's something you can do out there, and it's just a learning experience."

Drug deal nurse struck off
A NURSE at Merseyside's high security Ashworth Hospital who was caught with a haul of drugs was struck off yesterday.
Jason Davies, 33, was jailed for nine years after police found 5kg of cocaine and amphetamines in his sports car with a street value of #200,000.
The drugs had been disguised as lawn fertiliser.
During the arrest, detectives also recovered a diary from his boot detailing thousands of ecstasy deals and #1,000 in cash from his home.
Yesterday, following his 2003 sentencing at Cardiff Crown Court, the Nursing and Midwifery Council heard how Davies was at the time working as a nurse at Ashworth which houses violent and dangerous criminals such as Ian Brady.
DC Steve Taylor, of South Wales Police, told the hearing Davies was behind "hundreds of thousands of pounds"-worth of deals.
He was stopped on July 18, 2003, driving his Audi TT Quattro near Junction 34 of the M4 in South Wales.
DC Taylor said: "An Asda bag containing a white substance later found to be 247g cocaine was found in the vehicle.
"A Toplawn feed and weed container was also found containing a white substance in five self-seal bags.
"Laboratory test showed the substance to be 4.38kgs of amphetamine."
The drugs had a combined street value of up to #235,000.
The officer added: "A 2002 diary was interpreted as lists of dealers," said DC Taylor.
"The names related to dealings in thousands of ecstasy tablets. There were codenames and amounts listed against the names."
DC Taylor added: "The value of the deals certainly ran into hundreds of thousands of pounds."
Striking Davies off the nursing register, committee chairman Patricia Frost said the nurse's actions had damaged public health.
Ms Frost added: "His misconduct here contributed to the harm or detriment of the health and wellbeing of the wider community.
"The supply of drugs is one of the most injurious activities to public health."
She said the public would be unable to trust Davies and the profession would be undermined if he were to be allowed to practice again
Ms Frost added: "The committee has decided to remove Mr Davies' name from the register with immediate effect."
Davies, of Skelmersdale, Lancashire, admitted one count of possession of cocaine with intent to supply and another count of possession of amphetamine with intent to supply.
He admitted a further three counts of supplying drugs on December 4, 2003.


The area of the ring road around Male' City near the Sina-Male' Bridge will be opened on September 6, says Minister of Housing and Infrastructure, Dr. Mohamed Muizzu.
The ring road was previously scheduled to be opened last Monday, but the opening was postponed in order to complete road marking, installation of light fixtures, and connections to adjacent roads.
Dr. Muizzu announced in a tweet this Tuesday morning that all such work will be completed and the ring road opened on Thursday, September 6.
The minister stated earlier that the ring road will have four lanes with trees planted on both sides of the road.
The first phase of the ring road is from the Industrial Zone to King Salman Mosque, between which lays the Sina-Male' Bridge connecting Male' City to Hulhule'.
A highway has been developed at Hulhumale', which is connected to Hulhule' via land.
The grand opening of the historic Sina-Male' Bridge was held on August 31. And it is scheduled to be opened to the public on Friday, September 7.
The USD 200 million Sina-Male' Bridge Project was funded via non-reimbursable financial aid from the Chinese government, a low-interest loan from China's Exim Bank and Maldivian State Budget.

title: How to install Ghost on your Raspberry Pi
permalink: /blog/How-to-install-Ghost-on-your-Raspberry-Pi
poster: https://ununsplash.imgix.net/reserve/LJIZlzHgQ7WPSh5KVTCB_Typewriter.jpg
tags: node.js ghost raspberrypi
---
Here's how I installed Ghost on my Raspberry Pi with a standard [raspbmc](https://www.raspbmc.com/) installation.

    Image by Unsplash

Setting it up was not so difficult, but a problem with sqllite3 installation required some additional steps.

As reported in this forum post [https://ghost.org/forum/installation/2583-install-failure-due-to-sqlite3/](https://ghost.org/forum/installation/2583-install-failure-due-to-sqlite3/), you have to...

You need the SQLite development files:
    apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
(on Debian/Ubuntu). Also make sure you have build-essential installed.

So installing Ghost on my Raspberri Pi (Raspbmc) required these steps:

* Install node.js
* Install SqlLite
* Install build-essential and libsqlite3-dev
* Install Ghost

##1. Install node.js

	$ sudo apt-get install node

##2. Install SqlLite3

	$ sudo apt-get install sqlite3

##3. Install build-essential and libsqlite3-dev

	$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
    $ sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

Note this will take a while to complete, grab a coffee!

##4. Install Ghost

Install following instructions at https://docs.ghost.org/installation/linux/:

	$ curl -L https://ghost.org/zip/ghost-latest.zip -o ghost.zip $ unzip -uo ghost.zip -d ghost
    $ cd /path/to/ghost $ npm install --production $ npm start

To automate running I used forever as documented inhttps://docs.ghost.org/installation/deploy/, and it works perfectly.


Such a darling card! Those bunnies are adorable!
This is so sweet it makes my teeth ache. But don't be alarmed, that's a good thing...just an old saying. Perfect color combination and those adorable bunnies...LOVE this card.
Aawww this is super duper cute!
This is such a cute card!!

Tom & Chee
In 2009, the first Tom & Chee location literally popped up in a tent near the ice-skating rink in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. Since then, Tom & Chee has become a nationally-recognized brand after appearing on Shark Tank and growing in seven states.
What Does a Tom & Chee Franchise Cost?
To buy a franchise with Tom & Chee, you'll need to have at least $125,000 in liquid capital. Franchisees can expect to make a total investment of $302,700 - $456,000. They also offer financing via 3rd party. *
Financing: Via 3rd party
What is a Tom & Chee Franchise?
Tom & Chee has risen from humble origins to one of the rising stars in the $23 billion sandwich industry. In 2009, the first Tom & Chee location literally popped up in a tent near the ice-skating rink in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, during the winter holidays. Since then, Tom & Chee has become a nationally-recognized brand after appearing on Shark Tank and growing to more than 12 locations in seven states.
Commitment to Franchisee Success
Because the majority of Tom & Chee franchise owners join our franchise family without any experience in the restaurant industry, we have made significant investments to ensure that our franchisees are poised for success from the get-go.
Under the new leadership of GSR Brands, a franchise system with more than 50 years of experience in helping franchisees thrive, a sandwich & grilled cheese franchise is now easier to run and own than ever before. GSR Brands' leadership team has invested in significant improvements to the proven Tom & Chee franchise model. Streamlining operations makes daily prep easier, and a simplified menu is more attractive to guests and easier for employees to master. Right-sizing restaurants make both initial buildout costs and monthly rent more affordable, and updated restaurants with a vibrant new look and feel that is fresh, modern and bright is perfect for creating the memories our sandwich & grilled cheese franchise brand is known for.
How Does Tom & Chee Stand Out?
A menu focused on handcrafted comfort food and creating memories makes the rising sandwich & grilled cheese franchise stand out in the crowded QSR market. As popular as grilled cheese sandwiches are to millions of Americans, Tom & Chee stands alone in the sandwich & grilled cheese franchise industry by elevating the timeless sandwich into something entirely unique. The Takeout said it best: Grilled cheese is unconditional love in sandwich form. Grilled cheese is so beloved, it even has a national holiday – April 12 is dedicated to celebrating this sandwich each year.
While there are plenty of sub and sandwich concepts, all of which offer a similar array of products, Tom & Chee stands out as the one brand focused on delivering an exceptional customer experience with high-end, handcrafted food that is affordable, convenient and adventurous.
Multistage marketing process for new franchises includes assistance with:
Online Engagement
Post-opening
Franchisee Testimonial
My kids were getting older, and I was tired of living out of my suitcase — and Tom & Chee was really intriguing. When the opportunity came up to become a franchise owner, I couldn't say no. What makes us unique is our food: we started with our grilled cheese and expanded beyond that into delicious, handcrafted melts. You really can't go wrong with our food and you can't find what we do at any other sandwich franchise. The franchise support is fantastic. With a franchisor that's been around for as long as our leadership has, they really have a vision for where this concept can go and the bright future that it has.
— John Gerth, owner of four Tom & Chee locations in Cincinnati, Ohio.
We have more information on Tom & Chee available today for you to review.

It seems that when interpolating over rotation keyframes in "Quaternion" mode the quaternions are not unit normalized at some point and the assert pops up. It seems to work fine in Euler mode. I'm looking into it.

Jose C. Rubio (jrubio) updated the diff for D4229: Bugfix T60185: loops in graph produced unorderly clean-up.
This approach includes additional relations to avoid the unorderly cleanup rather than having unkillable relations. I had to add extra relations in bones as well as in constraints.
Yeah I was not really sure this was the right approach. I'll add relations bone-cleanup as you suggest. I guess tweaking the cycles solver wouldn't be a solution in the long term anyway as long as we allow arbitrary armature graphs.

LIBERTARIAN/CONSERVATIVE DIGEST AND COMMENTARY FROM AN ACADEMIC PSYCHOLOGIST in Brisbane, Australia
The Church of Trump?
I am not entirely sure whether it is a vice or a virtue but I often enjoy reading Leftist writing. They are so blind that they regularly give me a laugh. I suppose it is the psychologist in me. I want to see how their strange minds work.
And the most amusing thing about their response to Donald Trump is their total inability even to consider that he might have got some things right. That's just not an available explanation for them. So what do they do? They find something psychologically wrong with either Trump or his supporters. Leftists have been making such claims about conservatives at least since 1950 and have succeeded in convincing only themselves -- so they are like a dog returning to its vomit in trying the same strategy with Trump.
The first label they tried to stick on Trump and his supporters was the old 1950's claim that he is "authoritarian". But, since it is in fact they who constantly try to confine Americans within a straitjacket of endless regulations, that label had no adhesive power at all and seems now to have been abandoned. See here and here
So it is interesting that the latest explanation for Trump's success below has finally made some attempts to address reality.
She starts out with a litany of Trump's failures and scandals as she sees them and wonders why none of those failures seem to dent his popularity. That most of the failures are simply Trump's impatience with detail she does not consider. She certainly does not consider that not being a policy wonk might actually be an element in his popularity. Do policy wonks make attractive political candidates? Few of his voters are likely to be policy wonks so are probably happy with getting it broadly right in their own lives.
In fact, the little lady asserts below that Trump supporters like Trump's simple slogans.
And then of course we see the typically Leftist malicious misattributions. No matter what Trump does, it is a product of racism, not some practical reason. And anything Trump does is wrong anyhow, even if Obama also did it.
Then she gets on to her big discovery: Trump makes his voters happy! Could it be that they enjoy his puncturing of the great Obama/Clinton balloon of Leftist pomposity and self-righteousnesss? Could it be relief at Trump's attacks on the Leftist straitjacket of regulations and are relieved to hear common sense coming from the White House instead of hectoring?
No way! It's because of "tribalism" and because they don't go to church any more. Pesky that Trump supporters come from all races and all walks of life! Pesky that Trump has very broad church support and is himself openly Christian. Herman Cain tells us that 29% of blacks now support Trump. I wonder what tribe they belong to?
What the lady is doing is a familiar sleight of hand that any analytical philosopher can tell you about. "Tribalism" sounds like an explanation but is in fact a definition: To like Trump MAKES you part of a tribe, the Trump tribe. It is at best an observation. It explains nothing.
And the idea that lots of people are alienated from moralistic churches is surely true. But it is true mainly of the old mainstream churches. More evangelical churches are forgiving and make a big effort at outreach. Americans who are religious at all can usually find a church to suit them. The claim that Trump supporters are worshiping at some sort of new Trumpian religion -- when the religion at his rallies is plainly evangelical Christian -- is just a desperate attempt to look at what his real appeal is -- relief from Leftist tyranny and joy at having a President who makes sense to ordinary people
By Alex (Alexandra?) Wagner
Two weeks before the Iowa caucuses, in late January 2016, the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced to an audience in Sioux City: "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay? It's, like, incredible."
Trump, who has always been prone to fantastical overstatement, was derided at the time, but here and now—more than two and a half years later—the statement seems prescient.
You could list the scandals—from Robert Mueller's probe to Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels, from Tom Price to Scott Pruitt to Ben Carson, from Bill Shine to Ronny Jackson to Jared Kushner, from the Trump Hotel to the Trump label, from Charlottesville to Ukraine—and while it would be very long, it would not (at least in the eyes of Trump's supporters) be disqualifying. Politically speaking, the president is standing with his guns blazing in the middle of Fifth Avenue, and he's not losing anyone. Miraculously, Trump remains on top; so far this year, Gallup has registered an approval rating among the members of his own party ranging from 81 to 90 percent. Despite it all, those numbers have barely budged.
How is such a thing possible? In part, it's a symptom of contemporary politics—Barack Obama enjoyed similarly high approval ratings from Democratic partisans during his terms in office. And there's some evidence that Republicans disaffected with Trump are ceasing to identify with their party, leaving only the president's supporters behind. But Obama never endured a comparable string of scandals; the erosion of the GOP's ranks doesn't explain the fervency of those who remain.
Is it Trump—or something larger than Trump? Possibly, it's both. Last spring, my colleague Peter Beinart looked at the increasing secularization of American society and how it had contributed to the rise of political tribalism:
As Americans have left organized religion, they haven't stopped viewing politics as a struggle between "us" and "them." Many have come to define us and them in even more primal and irreconcilable ways.
This tribalism has infected both the right and the left—but in particular, Beinart cited the work of W. Bradford Wilcox, a sociologist at the University of Virginia who has concluded that "rates of religious attendance have fallen more than twice as much among whites without a college degree as among those who graduated college."
Non-college-educated whites are the Trump base, now set adrift:
Establishing causation is difficult, but we know that culturally conservative white Americans who are disengaged from church experience less economic success and more family breakdown than those who remain connected, and they grow more pessimistic and resentful.
You could draw a straight line from a disenfranchised, pessimistic, resentful audience to Trump's brand of fear-driven, divisive politics, but this would leave out an equally important part of the Trump phenomenon, and something critical to its success: the elation. Go to a Trump rally, speak to Trump supporters, and the devotion is nearly evangelical. Their party line is less a talking point than a sermon: His voters have talked to me about the "bad deal" with Iran, the "drug mules" crossing the border, the Mueller "witch hunt." The language is uniform, as they quote chapter and verse. Here are the true believers: It is no surprise that Trump's numbers won't move.
In his research, Wilcox noted the particular isolation of the white working class in the institutional church:
Moderately educated Americans may feel less attracted to churches that uphold the bourgeois virtues—delayed gratification, a focus on education, self-control, etc.—that undergird this lifestyle. As importantly, working class whites may also feel uncomfortable socializing with the middle and upper class whites who have increasingly come to dominate the life of religious congregations in the U.S. since the 1970s, especially as they see their own economic fortunes fall.
The declining economic position of white working class Americans may have made the bourgeois moral logic embodied in many churches both less attractive and attainable.
Trumpism proposes a system of worship formed in direct opposition to bourgeois moral logic, with values that are anti-intellectual and anti–politically correct. If mainline Protestantism is a bastion of the educated, upper-middle class, the Church of Trump is a gathering place for its castoffs. Trump's rhetoric about the "silent majority" is indeed a racial dog whistle, but it is also a call to his supporters to unmask themselves. He offers a public embrace of a worldview that has been, at least until this point, a mark of shame. There is belonging in this—but there is also relief.
That part of the Trump phenomenon remains mostly unnoticed, except by those who have witnessed it firsthand. Reporting from a rally in South Carolina in 2015, Molly Ball observed:
Despite all the negativity and fear, the energy in this room does not feel dark and aggressive and threatening. It doesn't feel like a powder keg about to blow, a lynch mob about to rampage. It feels joyous.
"There is so much love in every room I go to," Trump says, near the end of nearly an hour and a half of free-associative bombast, silly and sometimes offensive impressions, and insane pronouncements. "We want our country to be great again, and we know it can be done!"
At a rally in South Bend, Indiana, that I attended earlier this year, there were offensive T-shirts (hillary sucks … but not like monica) and angry chants, but there were also goofy costumes and free sandwiches. There was name calling, but there were also group selfies.
I spoke to Wilcox about this aspect of Trumpism—the strange joy inherent in the shouts of self-designated "deplorable" status—and whether that might signal a substitute for the rapture of the church. "The Trump rallies have collective effervescence," Wilcox said. "Émile Durkheim wrote about the power of collective effervescence—of engaging in common rituals that give them meaning and power and strength. And those things can be wonderful, or they can be dangerous."
Durkheim's theory—that a gathering of the tribe can create a certain energy that renders particular people or objects sacred—goes a long way toward explaining Trump's infallibility among his supporters. But it also brings to the fore something that Trump critics have missed so far when focusing on his (not insignificant) negatives: Trumpism, like many forms of non-secular worship, makes its believers feel good.
"Among the poor and the working class," Wilcox told me,"when it comes to both marriage and religion, there has been a real erosion. And that has hit them harder than the upper classes."
He continued: "These two important sources of solidarity and meaning are now much less a part of working-class American's lives—and leaves them that much more disenchanted and disenfranchised."
If Trumpism is endowing certain Americans with a sense of solidarity and support that were once found in institutions like the church (or marriage), the implications for the Republican Party—to say nothing of American society writ large—are consequential.
At its core, the Church of Trump is irreconcilable with a society that values equal protection, free speech, and the separation of powers. And yet strident efforts to convince the faithful of a prophet's fallacy may backfire, producing redoubled faith. To deconstruct the complicated and visceral relationship between Trump and his supporters, those on the outside must begin to grapple with the oddness of the proposition itself: Trump, in all his baseness, offers his believers something that is, strangely, spiritually elevated.

First of all, your post says Thursday August 16th but alas, it is not. One world, one clock, equality surely applies to time as with everything else. Second of all, here is a quote for Wednesday August 15th: "The essence of knowledge is, having it, to apply it; not having it, to confess your ignorance." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZWsBy7D6bg
In ancient Greece the sophists considered themselves to be society's cultural elite. They loved power and control over others by manipulative deceptive argument. They used clever sounding highfaluting philosophical falsities that down-to-earth, straight thinking, straight talking men could not very well argue against. They even claimed that reality is just a personal perception, and goodness, rightness and fairness are just social standards.
They used such false precepts to relieve themselves of principles, to justify themselves, and to dispute other's arguments, but they resorted to concocted absolutes to condemn others, just as leftists do today. The down-to-earth men of ancient Greece were mostly tradesmen, soldiers, farmers and such. They lived and worked with the laws of reality, so they knew truth exists, and that true goodness, rightness and fairness exist too. In gospel times the hypocrites were similar to the Greecian sophists. As with the leftists of today, the hypocrites of gospel times falsely portrayed themselves as society's good people, but really they were elitist control freaks who used false virtue to pressure others.
Since those days the battle has continued between those who like power and control over others, and those who prefer truth, freedom of the individual, and genuine goodness.
Political correctness is the left's present-day manifestation of power and control in western nations. The desire of the left to control and oppress others is what drives political correctness, and fear is what complies with it. Political correctness has nothing to do with consideration for others – that is a false front. Political correctness is intimidation and hypocrisy.
The principle reason that Trump came to power is because he stood against the oppression of political correctness. And the reason Trump's supporters excuse him is because he continues to stand against political correctness. In the eyes of Trump's supporters, error that Trump has made is as bad as leftists telling everyone else what they are allowed to say and think. Trump remains preferred to the alternative – leftist oppression of opinion and speech.
Correction: ...In the eyes of Trump's supporters, no error that Trump has made is as bad as leftists telling everyone else what they are allowed to say and think. ...

This blog is written solely by John Ray, who has a Ph.D. degree in psychology and 200+ papers published in the academic journals of the social sciences. It does occasionally comment on issues in psychology but is mainly aimed at giving a conservative psychologist's view on a broad range of topics. There are very few conservative psychologists.
The blog originated in Australia and many (but not most) posts discuss Australian matters. Australians have an unusually good awareness of events outside their own country. Australian newspapers feature news from Britain and the USA not as an afterthought but as a major part of their coverage. So Australians do tend to have a truly Western heart, which is the reason behind the old name for this blog. So events in Australia, Britain and the USA all feature frequently here, plus occasional coverage of other places, particularly Israel.
A primer in American politics for non-Americans:
SCOTUS is the Supreme Court of the United States, the highest court in the land
The "GOP" stands for "Grand Old Party" and refers to the Republican party. The GOP is at present center/Right, while the Democrats have been undergoing a steady drift Leftwards and now have policies similar to mainstream European Leftist parties.
The ideological identity of both parties has however been very fluid -- almost reversing itself over time. In the mid 19th century, the GOP was the party of big government and concern for minorities while the Democrats advertised themselves as "The party of the white man" -- an orientation that lasted into the mid 20th century in the South. The Democrats are still obsessed with race but have now flipped into support for discrimination AGAINST whites.

Climate scientist Lennart Bengtsson said. "The warming we have had the last 100 years is so small that if we didn't have meteorologists and climatologists to measure it we wouldn't have noticed it at all."
The term "Fascism" is mostly used by the Left as a brainless term of abuse. But when they do make a serious attempt to define it, they produce very complex and elaborate definitions -- e.g. here and here. In fact, Fascism is simply extreme socialism plus nationalism. But great gyrations are needed to avoid mentioning the first part of that recipe, of course.
Two examples of Leftist racism below (much more here and here):
Beatrice Webb, a founder of the London School of Economics and the Fabian Society, and married to a Labour MP, mused in 1922 on whether when English children were "dying from lack of milk", one should extend "the charitable impulse" to Russian and Chinese children who, if saved this year, might anyway die next. Besides, she continued, there was "the larger question of whether those races are desirable inhabitants" and "obviously" one wouldn't "spend one's available income" on "a Central African negro".
Hugh Dalton, offered the Colonial Office during Attlee's 1945-51 Labour government, turned it down because "I had a horrid vision of pullulating, poverty stricken, diseased nigger communities, for whom one can do nothing in the short run and who, the more one tries to help them, are querulous and ungrateful."
Defensible and indefensible usages of the term "racism"
The book, The authoritarian personality, authored by T.W. Adorno et al. in 1950, has been massively popular among psychologists. It claims that a set of ideas that were popular in the "Progressive"-dominated America of the prewar era were "authoritarian". Leftist regimes always are authoritarian so that claim was not a big problem. What was quite amazing however is that Adorno et al. identified such ideas as "conservative". They were in fact simply popular ideas of the day but ones that had been most heavily promoted by the Left right up until the then-recent WWII. See here for details of prewar "Progressive" thinking.
R.I.P. Augusto Pinochet. Pinochet deposed a law-defying Marxist President at the express and desperate invitation of the Chilean parliament. He pioneered the free-market reforms which Reagan and Thatcher later unleashed to world-changing effect. That he used far-Leftist methods to suppress far-Leftist violence is reasonable if not ideal. The Leftist view that they should have a monopoly of violence and that others should follow the law is a total absurdity which shows only that their hate overcomes their reason
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a war criminal. Both British and American codebreakers had cracked the Japanese naval code so FDR knew what was coming at Pearl Harbor. But for his own political reasons he warned no-one there. So responsibility for the civilian and military deaths at Pearl Harbor lies with FDR as well as with the Japanese. The huge firepower available at Pearl Harbor, both aboard ship and on land, could have largely neutered the attack. Can you imagine 8 battleships and various lesser craft firing all their AA batteries as the Japanese came in? The Japanese naval airforce would have been annihilated and the war would have been over before it began.
FDR prolonged the Depression. He certainly didn't cure it.
WWII did NOT end the Great Depression. It just concealed it. It in fact made living standards worse
Joe McCarthy was eventually proved right after the fall of the Soviet Union. To accuse anyone of McCarthyism is to accuse them of accuracy!
The KKK was intimately associated with the Democratic party. They ATTACKED Republicans!
People who mention differences in black vs. white IQ are these days almost universally howled down and subjected to the most extreme abuse. I am a psychometrician, however, so I feel obliged to defend the scientific truth of the matter:
The average African adult has about the same IQ as an average white 11-year-old and African Americans (who are partly white in ancestry) average out at a mental age of 14. The American Psychological Association is generally Left-leaning but it is the world's most prestigious body of academic psychologists. And even they have had to concede that sort of gap (one SD) in black vs. white average IQ. 11-year olds can do a lot of things but they also have their limits and there are times when such limits need to be allowed for.
America's uncivil war was caused by trade protectionism. The slavery issue was just camouflage, as Abraham Lincoln himself admitted. See also here
Did William Zantzinger kill poor Hattie Carroll?
Did Bismarck predict where WWI would start or was it just a "free" translation by Churchill?
Leftist psychologists have an amusingly simplistic conception of military organizations and military men. They seem to base it on occasions they have seen troops marching together on parade rather than any real knowledge of military men and the military life. They think that military men are "rigid" -- automatons who are unable to adjust to new challenges or think for themselves. What is incomprehensible to them is that being kadaver gehorsam (to use the extreme Prussian term for following orders) actually requires great flexibility -- enough flexibility to put your own ideas and wishes aside and do something very difficult. Ask any soldier if all commands are easy to obey.

I was flabbergasted by the title when it first came out: too long, it must be boring, I thought.Then, a few years ago I read Rossi's novel and now, having watched the movie (on youtube) I am convinced that Rossi was the true heir to Woolrich. This is a living proof of what the common authors of books on the genre dub as "absurd": this is the most absurd plot of all, a squared Woolrich. In fact the plot makes little sense, the characters act far away from what a common person would act and (I'll add) having shot the movie with the main actors being english, they had to add the even greater absurdity of showing most of french people being able to speak their language: which is absurd to assume today but completely crazy in 1970. So it is not pure chance that a classic noir practitioner like Litvak picked up this french noir for his last production (though I wonder how Mrs Chabrol's - here acting dubbed? - hubby let it slip through his hands). And it gets 8/10, though McEnery looks and acts like a poor man's Terence Stamp and visually there is little noir except the psychedelic lights in the interiors subbing for the contrasted b&w of old. And Legrand, alas, is not in his best form.

I'm with you on Dog Day Afternoon, it's a lot better than I remembered. Lumet went from being a stagy, stuffy, arguably boring director to making very liberated, cinematic movies by the 70's.
As for Spike Lee, I liked 25th Hour, but it's been too long since I've seen it. And I need to see Clockers again. But I agree with you there again.
Man, that's a lot of agreeing. Makes me feel weird.
Matrix 4 5/10
It's a bad movie filled with good ideas. Lots of botched work. Lots of botched visuals and stupid editing decisions. Some good performances (especially Carrie-Anne Moss, but Jonathan Groff is quite exhilarating to watch too). The first and the last acts work so much better than the 100% pointless second one. I'm very glad this movie exists, its (already quite dated but radical) meta approach on such a mainstream and "important" franchise looks a lot like one of cinema's last swan songs.

For Spike Lee, I don't care much for his films, but Inside Man (9/10) never feels like a Spike Lee joint, and actually The 25th Hour (8/10) also not that much.

The Gambler (1974) 7/10. A literature professor (James Caan) with a gambling addiction alienates loved ones as he plays a game of brinksmanship with mobsters. The basis for the 2014 movie of the same title, this is the less interesting of the two films as it pretty much just limns the conventions of a self-destructive-behavior story (the new film is more Dostoyevskian (until it isn't)). There are pleasures to be had here, though, including cameos by Jimmy Woods, Stuart Margolin, M. Emmet Walsh, and Vic Tayback. Meatier roles go to Paul Sorvino and Lauren Hutton. Also of interest is period location work in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Jersey, and, for a brief moment, Vegas. Free streaming available to amazon Prime members: http://www.amazon.com/Gambler-James-Caan/dp/B005DNPEZA/ref=tmm_aiv_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-2&qid=1419732018
This pretty much sums up my thoughts, but I haven't seen the 2014 version. The Gambler '74 greatly benefits from its cast and it being a 70's movie -- I wish more of the movie was set in 70's Vegas. As much as a I love 80's movies, this material doesn't work as well a decade later without a creative director that could capture the seediness of NYC. Someone like a Schrader, or ideally Scorsese.

Yes, THAT green knight. Is that enough, Stanton ?
I like that, maybe a bit overdone, but only a bit. (the language needn't be named)
I also noticed that all the others changed nothing ... sigh ...
For me the other way round. Inside Man is a very clever thriller, while DDA is less interesting nowadays.


I haven't posted in a few weeks because I did something very un-frugal: I came down with terrible bronchitis. Very ill-timed — and expensive, too. I not only had to go to the doctor, but I had to have a chest X-ray. Ugh! Between that and furniture purchases, we just hemorrhaged money all month.
Our Crockpot's temperature controller knob broke in the move, but I was able to order a set of two replacement knobs for $7.99 (with free shipping). We were given the Crockpot as a hand-me-down several years ago (one of Lennox's foodie friends was upgrading, and it was like new), so this is the first we've spent on it! And it's far less than the cost of a replacement.
Our local (& amazing) hardware store actually carries the rare bizarro-world size of air filter the A/C in our new apartment uses. Although it's not the heavy-duty Filtrete allergy filter we normally use, it is rated far better than a standard filter, and its $8.69 price tag beats the stuffing out of paying $140+ for a six pack of custom filters ordered online.
Saved $16.61 by buying a collapsible crate at Costco instead of ordering it from Amazon. Not every Costco bargain is this impressive, although (according to the spreadsheet I keep) we have saved $917.32 so far this year by shopping there.
Decided not to get new dining room chairs, even though we got a new table. Though I spent about $20.00 on paint & supplies to re-do the old chairs, it was still a considerable savings over buying new ones. I painted our old console table to match, too, which we had planned to get rid of, but we're going to put it in front of the living room windows instead of getting a bench for that area.
Saved $24.00 over regular retail price by purchasing shoes on eBay (new with tags). These were my favorite Toms shoes, but my old ones had gotten so ratty I wore them for my painting project, which finished them off! I wanted the exact same ones to replace them, so that's what I got. The old pair lasted over 3 years despite heavy wear, and I didn't pay full price for them, either.
Ordered a new desk for my sewing area from Wayfair, but got 10% off by using a coupon. Better than paying full price, at least.
We have finally gotten our remaining furniture from IKEA, and should be done with the wild spending phase of our move. Things should be much, much closer to normal in October. We'll also pay our car off next month (over six months early), so we should be able to start saving in earnest again. Alright alright!

Noct Features Thermal Imaging and a Soundtrack From NIN's Guitarist
C3SK is bringing us a top-down survival horror shooter where its visuals are made from thermal imaging and its songs are from NIN guitarist Robin Finck.
Devolver Digital is bringing us yet another indie studio treat in the form of C3SK's Noct. This unique shooter features arcade combat gameplay mixed with some RPG survival aspects. As a survivor of an apocalyptic purge, you must try to live in the wasteland called the Noct. You can only view your character from a thermal image satellite system orbiting the planet. As a result, the camera is set in a top-down perspective and features 50 shades of grey (not the book). This monochromatic format of gameplay reminds us of the extra levels from Contra III: The Alien Wars. You can try to survive on your own or band together with the other survivors you'll encounter online. Just be wary, as the local irradiated wildlife has grown to the size of cars and buildings. Don't be surprised if you encounter a spider the side of a van or something much worse.
Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck and Worldclock have teamed up to score Noct's 12-song soundtrack. You can download a preview track from Noct's official website.
"I was invited into the world of Noct to compliment the established work of Wordclock, and to collaborate, bringing a spirited sense of melody and hope to an utterly devastated terrain, one enshrouded in despair and haunted by.... creepy f------ monsters," said Finck. "It has been a hair raising experience, cooperating to design the immersion of this audio trek. The team are each scrupulous creatures and together we enjoy turning over many stones."
Noct is set to launch via Steam on Oct. 22.

Continuous monitoring of splice and steel cord condition, as well as on-demand reporting.
Our rEscan® 24/7 system enables the continuous monitoring of splice and cord condition, with warning and alarm levels to identify critical cord damage and/or splice movement/damage in steel cord belting. Steel cord belt condition monitoring is achieved by measuring magnetic flux leakage (MFL) from cords and comparing trending data from each belt cycle.
It is easily integrated into site PLC / SCADA controls to provide the ability to stop at any selected splice, cord damage or belt length location, and to position the belt wherever required. This delivers significant benefits to maintenance planners and repairers by reducing time required to position belting.
Reports on splice and event condition may be generated at regular intervals and emailed. Reports based on any period of activity can be generated on demand by the user. Automatic Email Notification of warnings and alarms alerts users to any issues that have occurred. The system is password-protected, and control and logging of the system enables protection of critical settings without restricting everyday users from generating reports.
It is remotely accessible over the internal site network, and accessible from offsite through corporate VPN. Our 24/7 system can also integrate with our Rip Ranger® belt rip detection systems to map and position rip loops.

Q: Large email volumes I have been asked to recommend a service that will be able to hand 50K plus emails a day. Has anyone got any ideas?
(should this sort of question be on serverfault.com?)
Thanks in advance.
Tom

A: Maybe take a look at Rackspace Hosted Exchange, if your intressted in Exchange and don't like Google. Rackspace is a very solid way to host large Infrastructures, it's gonna cost you so...

A: We use a program called Atomic Mail Sender ( http://www.amailsender.com/ ), but there's an entire suite of software on that site to do what you're looking for.
Note that it will be difficult to find another mail server that lets you send 50,000 emails out of it, except for the spam houses, who will charge you. It's possible to send directly from the desktop running the Atomic Mail program, but in order for it to work right, you should go to efforts to configure DNS such that the desktop looks like your mail server. This includes things like SPF records if you have them, reverse DNS, and so on.

A: Just use gmail?

A: SmarterMail. We have it on a VM under VS 2005 R2 (about ready to upgrade to hyper-v/2008) but it runs great. Use built in CalmAV for anti-virus and a mix of RBLs (like Spamhaus and barracuda) and Declude w/ sniffer for anti-spam. It works great.

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping's upcoming meeting is weighing on markets. Despite discord among his aides, the U.S. president has the autonomy to strike a deal if China offers the right incentives. His interest in trade balances and historical strongmen creates an opportunity.
U.S. President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping are due to meet on the sidelines of the G20 leaders' summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina which starts on Nov. 30.
The Trump administration said on Nov. 20 that China has failed to alter its "unfair" business practices. The findings were issued in an update of the U.S. Trade Representative's "Section 301" investigation into China's intellectual property and technology transfer policies.
The United States announced tariffs on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods in June, and later widened their scope to cover goods imports of $250 billion.

As I noted above, a huge number of people started today to cover kilometers of distance.
And while some of them made it with fun.
Kenia's sportsmen are hard to beat on long-run distances. SO it was not surprise that all three medals of half-marathon were occuped by gays from this Afrikan country.

Rain gutters are utilized to direct water from your roof. Water left standing on your roof system can lead to structural damage.

Redirecting water from concrete pieces will assist to avoid them from sinking and breaking. Rain gutters will likewise secure your paint and keep it from fading.
MORE About Alhambra
The Alhambra (/ælˈhæmbrə/ (listen), Spanish: [aˈlambɾa]; Arabic: الْحَمْرَاء, romanized: Al-Ḥamrāʾ, pronounced [alħamˈraːʔ], lit. "The Red One") is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Nasrid emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls. It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada. After the conclusion of the Christian Reconquista in 1492, the site became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella (where Christopher Columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered in the Renaissance style. In 1526 Charles I & V commissioned a new Renaissance palace better befitting the Holy Roman Emperor in the revolutionary Mannerist style influenced by humanist philosophy in direct juxtaposition with the Nasrid Andalusian architecture, but it was ultimately never completed due to Morisco rebellions in Granada.
Alhambra's last flowering of Islamic palaces was built for the last Muslim emirs in Spain during the decline of the Nasrid dynasty, who were increasingly subject to the Christian Kings of Castile. After being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, the buildings occupied by squatters, Alhambra was rediscovered following the defeat of Napoleon, who had conducted retaliatory destruction of the site. The rediscoverers were first British intellectuals and then other north European Romantic travelers. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions, exhibiting the country's most significant and well-known Islamic architecture, together with 16th-century and later Christian building and garden interventions. The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Moorish poets described it as "a pearl set in emeralds", an allusion to the colour of its buildings and the woods around them. The palace complex was designed with the mountainous site in mind and many forms of technology were considered. The park (Alameda de la Alhambra), which is overgrown with wildflowers and grass in the spring, was planted by the Moors with roses, oranges, and myrtles; its most characteristic feature, however, is the dense wood of English elms brought by the Duke of Wellington in 1812.[citation needed] The park has a multitude of nightingales and is usually filled with the sound of running water from several fountains and cascades. These are supplied through a conduit 8 km (5.0 mi) long, which is connected with the Darro at the monastery of Jesus del Valle above Granada.
Despite long neglect, willful vandalism, and some ill-judged restoration, the Alhambra endures as an atypical example of Muslim art in its final European stages, relatively uninfluenced by the direct Byzantine influences found in the Mezquita of Córdoba. Most of the palace buildings are quadrangular in plan, with all the rooms opening on to a central court, and the whole reached its present size simply by the gradual addition of new quadrangles, designed on the same principle, though varying in dimensions, and connected with each other by smaller rooms and passages. Alhambra was extended by the different Muslim rulers who lived in the complex. However, each new section that was added followed the consistent theme of "paradise on earth". Column arcades, fountains with running water, and reflecting pools were used to add to the aesthetic and functional complexity. In every case, the exterior was left plain and austere. Sun and wind were freely admitted. Blue, red, and a golden yellow, all somewhat faded through lapse of time and exposure, are the colors chiefly employed. The name Alhambra means the red one or the red castle, which refers to the sun-dried bricks that the outer wall is made of.
The decoration consists for the upper part of the walls, as a rule, of Arabic inscriptions—mostly poems by Ibn Zamrak and others praising the palace—that are manipulated into geometrical patterns with vegetal background set onto an arabesque setting ("Ataurique"). Much of this ornament is carved stucco (plaster) rather than stone. Tile mosaics ("alicatado"), with complicated mathematical patterns ("tracería", most precisely "lacería"), are largely used as panelling for the lower part. Metal was also not present very mainly.[clarification needed] Similar designs are displayed on wooden ceilings (Alfarje).Muqarnas are the main elements for vaulting with stucco, and some of the most accomplished dome examples of this kind are in the Court of the Lions halls. The palace complex is designed in the Nasrid style, the last blooming of Islamic Art in the Iberian Peninsula, that had a great influence on the Maghreb to the present day, and on contemporary Mudejar Art, which is characteristic of western elements reinterpreted into Islamic forms and widely popular during the Reconquista in Spain.
Why should you go with seamless rain gutters on your Alhambra home?
Seamless gutters and downspouts are thought by many specialists to be the very best choice for home and commercial rain gutter applications.

Seamless seamless gutters have no joints to repair which gets rid of any prospective for future leaks and sagging.
