Rapid Reactions
Eminem calling for gun control akin to terrorist preaching on peace

By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Friday, January 17, 2020
Eminem, also known as Marshall Mathers, also known as one rap world's most violently, vulgar lyricists — and whitest — just dropped a surprise new album on the music community, accompanied by a video in which he makes a plea for gun reform. Also known as gun control.
And forever after, this will also be known as one of life's biggest laughs because it's hard to take seriously a guy who makes a living off selling violence as a form of art simultaneously then calling for an end to violence.
It's rather like listening to a terrorist call for peace.
Or maybe even a jet-setting Hollywood bigwig preaching on climate change.
After all, Eminem did pen this, in "Low Down Dirty": "You see this bullet hole in my neck? It's self inflicted. … Brain size of a bread crumb, which drug will I end up dead from?"
And this, from "Kill You": "Slut, you think I won't choke no whore, 'til the vocal cords don't work in her throat no more?" Also, from "Kill You": "Oh, now he's raping his own mother, abusing a whore, snorting coke, and we gave him the Rolling Stone cover? You [g-d—] right [b—.]"
And this, from "Kim": "Don't you get it [b—], no one can hear you? Now shut the [f—] up and get what's coming to you. You were supposed to love me. Now bleed, [b—] bleed, bleed, bleed." Embedded within the lyrics is the sound of a choking female.
And this, from "Criminal": "My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge, that'll stab you in the head."
There are more, much worse, much more misogynist, anti-LGBTQ, and vicious in tone — but why go on. It's obvious: Eminem is someone who makes his money appealing to the lowest common denominator of culture, pushing out the most disgusting messages he can find, and in the most violent, vulgar of manner.
But now he's bringing the gun control?
"It's 10:05 p.m. and the curtain starts to go up, and I'm already sweating, but I'm locked and loaded, for rapid fire spitting for all the concertgoers," he sung, in a video posted on YouTube promoting his new album that portrays Las Vegas concert mass shooter Stephen Paddock in a drug-induced state, plotting his killings, the Detroit Free Press reported.
And he wraps the video with this — a card with the words, "When will this end? When enough people care." Eminem then directs viewers to the voter registration site, vote.gov, and says, "Make your voice heard and help change gun laws in America."
What an absurdity.
It helps, when trying to sell a message, if one's words matches one's actions. Thee but not me does not a good gun control message make. Especially when it comes by way of a promo for a new album called "Music To Be Murdered By."

I'm writing this sat in Monterey (home of the cheese) but we have spent most of the day in San Jose. Now before today all I really knew about it was Dionne Warwick needed directions there (presumably she didn't have a sat nav or knew about google maps). Today we went to the science museum (which seemed to have a bias towards computing and was founded by a Mr Hewlett and a Mr Packard). It's a great museum and the IMAX dome sphere thing is truly awesome (as people keep saying here when they really mean "adequate"). Afterwards we thought we'd have a look around town.
The museum was near the convention centre in downtown and it was, to say the least, quiet. However quite often Convention Centres are in out of the way places and it was the weekend so perhaps that as why it as so quiet. We got a map, had a look and realised that actually we were just a couple of streets away from the main historical area. So off we went to explore.
Now San Jose has a lot going for it. It has nice streets (see pic below) it has nice trams (see previous blog) but what it lacks are people. The streets were deserted. Now we are used to being close to the action but missing it completely. We went to Paris once, went into the Pompidou Centre and noticed they were setting up barriers. When we came out we found that we had missed the Tour de France. Bummer.
But this was different. There were just no people out on a Saturday afternoon. I assume that the young people were eating their Greggs pasties down at the beach but there weren't even old people. Even the beggars were begging off each other because there were no people with money to beg off. We walked the entire city centre and saw hardly anyone.
So San Jose, we like your streets, shops and museums but your centre is really eerie with no one about. Oh and if anyone sees Dionne, just tell her San Jose is just off Highway 880. But don't go on a Saturday afternoon.

Norm's Notebook
A view from the paddock
Once again a little bit light in the 'pointers' column, and a quiet punting day overall with a handful of warm favourites doing the business.
Longsdon and Johnson joined up to take the first and last races with a couple of promising types in Western Miller and Monbeg Charmer.
Both are quite athletic sorts, of just medium build, but clearly have engines. The former pulled hard and did not jump well but was confidently sent on by Johnson at halfway and it proved to be a winning move. However, he'll need to brush up that jumping if he is to defy a penalty.
In a poor opener, the second and third Tickenwolf and Jonniesofa should benefit from the outing, while Classic Palace is painfully slow and appears hideously treated at present.
The Grey Taylor let this column down at Wetherby but looked a good thing back over 2m, although I couldn't help snaffling some early 10s about the lovely chase prospect Special Wells even though ground and trip were against it.
The Smith horses are looking really well albeit short of a run but this looked fitter than most and was sent of 7/2. Value doesn't pay the bills as one wag once told me but he will really shine when the rain comes, and I expect him to stay 3m in due course. He was on the short list for my horses to follow.
The handicap hurdle over the minimum may well prove to be a very good race for the track with the juvenile Hadfield battling on well to deny Shear Rock a four-timer.
The latter is a lovely strong horse who may not have stopped winning yet. The pair were clear of Boruma in third, who was only out for a 'sighter' but ran on so well he was the most obvious eye-catcher on the card.
Back down to the mark off which he won at Donny last term, this buzzy sort can improve fitness-wise for this and looks sure to progress this term. He came down twice over fences last season with the race at his mercy and he's a hurdler on looks so I hope they keep him to timber for now.
Stable mate Turtle Cask took a run or two to gain full fitness last season and he was most out of shape for his return in the later handicap hurdle - running a remarkable race to finish fourth. He's another to keep a very close eye on as he revels in soft ground and will stay further.
In the same race a horse called Mac N Cheese ran another race full of promise. I wrote a good deal about him here and this run only enhanced the view that he will prove a well-handicapped horse when faced with soft ground and a stamina test.
I couldn't figure out either of the handicap chases and although likeable types both Settledoutofcourt and Gleann Na Dochais don't win anywhere near as often as their raw ability might suggest.
Both got fine rides from Russell inmates Fox and Nichol, certainly the latter winning that race with a bold move to strike for home three fences out. It wasn't a strong event but just desserts for a winner at the top of his game.
I had a strong view in the closing bumper and in seeing Gully's Edge in the flesh for the first time that view was confirmed that he is one to take on in the short to medium term.
I thought he gave both his bumper races away last term when twice defeated in close finishes, and he was recalcitrant upon leaving the paddock here. This big, rangy 3m chase prospect could be useful in time, but he looks very immature mentally at present.
Fitness-wise he should come on quite a lot for this, and I've no doubt that connections will now send this big horse over timber next where he will need at least 2m 4f.
However, until I see him go through with his effort off the bridle I'll be parked in the pink side of the book.

I was a sub-editor for several analogue and digital platforms for almost 20 years before deciding to go racing full-time in 2014. I get my edge from assessing a horse's chances by viewing them before the race. This, together with other important factors such as form analysis, stats and the betting market, gives me an edge over the layers in the long-term. Viewing a horse's fitness and fitting that into the overall view of whether it can win a race is of course subjective. However, it has served me well over the years and with this blog I can share my views on my days at the races. You can contact me via Twitter or at adamski100@hotmail.com.

Hare Hatch Sheeplands to expand legally
A garden centre near Wargrave is planning to add to its attractions after settling a long-running planning dispute.
Rob Scott, the owner of Hare Hatch Sheeplands, wants to expand his farm shop, re-introduce a fishmongers and create a 'cactus world' feature as he is a specialist grower.
He has submitted a planning application to Wokingham Borough Council, with whom he was involved in a five-year dispute that cost him thousands of pounds and a suspended prison sentence.
A spokesman for the garden centre said: ?By working closely with the council we hope to gain their approval for our plans and ensure that we safeguard the green belt.
?Our customers have been magnificent in their support during the difficult times and are now showing that support by continuing to visit us.
?We are excited by the future and can assure customers that our plans will, if approved, enable us to repay their loyalty by making Hare Hatch Sheeplands a must-visit location of choice for local residents.?
In 2012, the council accused Mr Scott of breaching the green belt and extending a caf? and play area unlawfully as he only had planning permission to operate as a plant nursery, caf? and farm shop and did not have the authority to host seven other businesses on the site, including a fishmonger, pet food store and antiques dealer.
When he ignored an enforcement notice, the council took him to court and earlier this year the High Court ruled in favour of the council and granted an injunction against the garden centre.
Seven unauthorised businesses had to leave Hare Hatch Sheeplands but not all the changes required by the council were made in time, including the demolition of buildings and the removal of utilities connections.
Mr Scott admitted contempt of court and was given a two-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, and ordered to pay costs of ?19,477 with Gordon Parry, of Garden Trends, one of the unauthorised businesses.

In 1891, when coal companies in eastern Tennessee brought in cheap convict labor to take over their jobs, workers responded by storming the stockades, freeing the prisoners, and loading them onto freight trains. Over the next year, tactics escalated to include burning company property and looting company stores. This was one of the largest insurrections in US working-class history. It happened at the same time as the widely publicized northern labor war in Homestead, Pennsylvania. And it was largely ignored, then and now.
Dixie Be Damned engages seven similarly "hidden" insurrectionary episodes in Southern history to demonstrate the region's long arc of revolt. Countering images of the South as pacified and conservative, this adventurous retelling presents history in the rough. Not the image of the South many expect, this is the South of maroon rebellion, wildcat strikes, and Robert F. Williams's book Negroes with Guns, a South where the dispossessed refuse to quietly suffer their fate. This is people's history at its best: slave revolts, multiracial banditry, labor battles, prison uprisings, urban riots, and more.

François Morellet - Au bon vouloir
The work of François Morellet as one of the most conceptual to appear in France in the 1950's.
This object is only available on order, please contact us for more information
Downloadable product only
François Morellet was born in 1926 in Cholet, the town where he works today.
The refusal of all subjectivity, and the use of geometrical structures in his canvasses as well as in his sculptures or works in neon, have led many a critic to consider the work of François Morellet as one of the most conceptual to appear in France in the 1950's.
Right from his early works, François Morellet has never ceased to lay claim to a certain sense of humour, adding mischievously that one should see in his works the existence of constraints and systems "of absurd preferences". This confrontation between two paradoxical registers (rigour and the absurd) has led numerous great international institutions, for example the Pompidou Centre in Paris (1986 and 2010), the National Gallery of the Jeu de Paume (2000), the Musée d'Art Moderne, Paris (2007), to devote vast reviews and retrospectives to this major figure in contemporary art.
We observe his philosophy in the edition produced by Bernard Chauveau Éditeur and Le Néant, éditeur. Do we not hear François Morellet say in the introductory text: "In art, at least in that which interests me, it is the constraints and rules of the game which the artist sets for himself that are more important in my eyes than the realizations that result".
Returning to, and twisting, an idea experimented with in the 1960's where the consumer created the work, François Morellet has called upon the services of the publishers to do the same for the present edition. "I defined the paper" he says, "and the stamping tool. Then I requested that the first page should be stamped once, then 2 stamps on the second page, 4 on the third, 8 on the fourth, 16 on the fifth, 32 on the sixth, and that each imprint should always touch other imprints, and be totally within the bounds of the square page."
In this 100 copies edition, numbered and signed by the artist, 50 of the copies are done with a yellow stamp, and 50 copies with a black stamp, in compliance with the wishes of the artist who writes in the introductory text "I have signed everything beforehand, and inform you that the edition you are going to acquire is certain to be a masterpiece".
Edition 100 copies
Justification Signed and numbered
Technique 6 lavishly illustrations

Ginger is a flowering plant in the family Zingiberaceae whose rhizome, ginger root or simply ginger, is widely used as a spice or a medicine. It is a herbaceous perennial which grows annual stems about a meter tall bearing narrow green leaves and yellow flowers. Ginger is indigenous to southern China, and was spread eventually to the Spice Islands, other parts of Asia and subsequently to West Africa and the Caribbean. Ginger was exported to Europe via India in the first century AD as a result of the lucrative spice trade. India is now the largest producer of ginger. Other members of the family Zingiberaceae include turmeric, cardamom, and galangal. The distantly related dicots in the ... more on Wikipedia

The Battle of Cloyd's Farm Part IV
The following is Part IV in a series of articles written in 1993 and published in this "Looking Back with Lloyd Mathews" section of The Southwest Times. The series, entitled The Battle of Cloyd's Farm and the Skirmish at New River Bridge, May Ninth and Tenth, 1864: A series of newspaper articles written about the only Civil War action taking place in Pulaski County, Virginia, will be re-published this winter to commemorate the anniversary of this important battle.
In this the 150th Anniversary year since the battle, the Pulaski Civil War Sesquicentennial Committee, the New River Rifles, and the 1st Stuart Artillery are honored to invite you to living history and reenactments on the actual battlefield, April 5th and 6th, 2014. For information: www.battleofcloydsmtn.org
The Virginia Civil War History Mobile will be located at the New River Valley Fair Grounds on April 4th and 5th, with the 4th being a day for the local schools. Event parking will be at the fairgrounds, and there will be bus transportation to the battlefield. Bus tours of the local historical sites will be available on Saturday the 5th from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m.
Part IV: The Battle of Cloyd's Farm
Since I am not a person who is particularly interested or knowledgeable in military strategy and dispersion of troops in time of battle, I have not attempted to give a blow-by-blow description of what went on at Cloyd's Farm on May 9, 1864. Since so much battle description has been written through the years, I have purposely dwelled on the battle from the human interest point of view.
For those who are interested in just who was there, I will list the Confederate units that took part in the battle, according to information I have gathered: 36th Virginia Infantry, 60th Virginia Infantry, 45th Battalion Virginia Infantry, 45th Virginia Infantry, Bryan's Battery, Ringgold Battery, 17th Virginia Cavalry, and 5th Kentucky Cavalry—Morgan's dismounted men under Col. D. H. Smith.
One unit is not recognized in any of the official records. That is those brave men of the Home Guard, and what might be known in today's vernacular as walk-ons. One such walk-on was Rev. William Hickman, pastor of the Belspring Presbyterian Church. A unit of Confederate soldiers was marching through by his home on the day before the battle, and he, realizing that many of his parishioners were in this unit, fell in with them and ended up at Cloyd's Farm. He was wounded in the battle and left the field when the rebels retreated. Because he was not in military uniform, the Yankees, who were moving the wounded to field hospitals, considered him a bushwhacker and left him without attention, and he later died from his wounds.
An interesting story that has been passed down concerns the removal of General Jenkins' arm. While there were both Confederate and Federal doctors on the field, when given the choice, the young general accepted the services of a Yankee surgeon, Dr. N. F. Graham, to remove his arm. The doctor did a good job, but later on, a careless orderly, while changing a bandage, allowed the General to bleed to death.
Almost every battle of every war has its stories about lives of soldiers being saved by divine intervention, and the Battle of Cloyd's Farm is no exception. An early Southwest Times published the following: "If J. F. Hale, great uncle of Burman Craig of Pulaski, had not pinned a Bible to his chest at the Battle of Cloyd's Farm, he would have been killed. This Bible with the mark of a bullet still plainly visible is now being exhibited." The exhibit mentioned was a part of the Pulaski County Centennial Celebration in 1939.
Another interesting story that has been passed down concerns Captain Christopher Cleburne. This was a young officer of General Morgan's Cavalry, the outfit that arrived late for the battle and was called on to cover the Confederate retreat. Supposedly, Cleburne voiced a wish that should he be killed in the battle, he be buried at the spot where he fell. He was mortally wounded on May 9, 1864, and his wish was granted. Almost a hundred years later the Giles Turnpike had to be widened, causing the grave to have to be moved. It was moved approximately a hundred feet west to its present location.
On a handsome granite monument marking the grave is inscribed the following message: (The death date listed should be May 9.)

Depend on al-Quran for excellence
By Yazdi Yahya & Aemy Azlena
His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam in a Titah last night underscored the importance of the al-Quran in finding excellence and success.
The monarch delivered the titah at the National Nuzul al-Quran Celebration held at the Plenary Hall, International Conference Centre.
Also present were His Royal Highness Prince Hj Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Crown Prince, HRH Prince Abdul Malik and HRH Prince Abdul Mateen.
The most important source of knowledge for Muslims is the al-Quran His Majesty said.
Those who use the al-Quran as a reference will attain excellence, success and safety.
A map towards the path to excellence, success and safety is important and that map is contained in the al-Quran.
"No diversions exist in the al-Quran . It is the light that will shine all paths. The Arabs during the period of ignorance were an uncivilized race.
"However, after embracing Islam, their way of living changed and enabled them to build a glorious civilization. There is no doubt that was stimulated by the al-Quran," His Majesty said.
His Majesty noted that with this in mind, al-Quran is the right foundation to achieve excellence.
The holy book's role is to guide our faith by reminding us to worship only Allah Almighty especially in our acts of devotion towards Him as well as in other activities.
"Muslims cannot achieve excellence if they leave their religious duties behind since excellence wholly comes from Allah the Almighty," said His Majesty.
Worshipping Allah the Almighty means being obedient in every aspect of life besides praying and upholding all the dos and don'ts by the family, the country and also by us.
Main importance of religious duties is to find Allah the Almighty's blessings and god willing - all the doors to these blessings will be opened.
The monarch pointed out that this is our hope in finding excellence, not only in our current lives but also the afterlife.
The most important perspective is not to close it with the worldly development since in Islam; true success is measured by the excellence for the afterlife too.
This can be seen with the al-Quran approach through its verses on excellence and success.
"What is meant by a glorious success is none other than to receive the greater blessings or rewards from Allah the Almighty," His Majesty added. - Borneo Bulletin (29th September 2007)

West Virginia Republican Lawmaker Resigns After Arrest for 'Unlawfully Entering US Capitol'
Posted by Matthew Burke | Jan 12, 2021 | Posted Links 3, The Liberty Daily | 0 |
https://christiannews.net/2021/01/12/west-virginia-republican-lawmaker-resigns-after-arrest-for-unlawfully-entering-us-capitol/
CHARLESTON, W. Va. — A Republican lawmaker from West Virginia, who had only served in the state legislature for one month, has now resigned from office after being arrested for participating in the storming of the U.S. Capitol building during the counting of Electoral College votes, filming and cheering. His attorney had originally said that he would not be resigning, arguing that the legislator thought police had allowed the East Side crowd inside and contended that no one asked the people to leave.
"I take full responsibility for my actions and deeply regret any hurt, pain or embarrassment I may have caused my family, friends, constituents and fellow West Virginians," Derrick Evans, member of the House of Delegates, said in a statement on Saturday.
He submitted his resignation in a one sentence letter to Gov. Jim Justice, writing simply, "I hereby resign as a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, effective immediately."
"I hope this action I take today can remove any cloud of distraction from the state legislature, so my colleagues can get to work in earnest building a brighter future for our state," Evans remarked in his statement. "And more importantly, I hope it helps to begin the healing process, so we can all move forward and come together as 'One Nation, Under God.'"
The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DoJ) likewise announced Evans' arrest on Saturday, among others who were identified after their involvement.
"Evans, a recently elected member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, streamed live to his Facebook page a video of himself joining and encouraging a crowd unlawfully entering the U.S. Capitol," the DoJ press release states. "In the video, Evans is allegedly seen crossing the threshold of the doorway into the U.S. Capitol and shouting, 'We're in; we're in! Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!'"
An affidavit from the FBI, signed by Special Agent David DiMarco and Judge G. Michael Harvey, further outlines that as Evans — who noted that he had pepper spray in his eye and mouth — followed a crowd entering the building and began yelling, "Let's go! Keep it moving, baby!"

However, he did shout, "No destruction of anything! No vandalizing property! No vandalizing!" Evans also fist bumped a police officer inside the Capitol and told him, "We still respect you, all right?"
The affidavit states that in another live video, Evans informed viewers while still outside, "They're making an announcement right now saying if Pence betrays us, you better get your mind right because we're storming that building. I'm just the messenger, so don't be hating on me. I'm just telling you what I'm hearing right now on the ground."
The videos have since been deleted from Evans' Facebook page, but some footage has been used in news reports elsewhere. See here, for example.
He has now been charged with one count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and one count of disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
18 U.S. Code § 1752 makes it a criminal offense if one "knowingly enters or remains in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority to do so; [or] knowingly, and with intent to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of government business or official functions, engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct in, or within such proximity to, any restricted building or grounds when, or so that, such conduct, in fact, impedes or disrupts the orderly conduct of government business or official functions."
View the affidavit in full here.
Evans, who identifies as a Christian, had wanted to fight against abortion and transgender restroom use while in office. View an interview with him here. Some supporters have alleged that Evans was targeted for arrest as he was respectful during the revolt and simply moved with the crowd, filming and cheering for Trump.
His attorney also argued in a statement that Evans travels as an activist and an amateur journalist, filming historical events and protests. He said that Evans never engaged in violence, unlike those on the West side of the Capitol, and thought that the police were allowing the people inside since the door opened. He had no knowledge of the destruction on the other side of the building.
"From Mr. Evans point of view in the crowd, it appeared that the crowd was being allowed by law enforcement into the Capitol," attorney John H. Bryan wrote. "He was not at the front of the group. Given the sheer size of the group walking in, Mr. Evans had no choice but to enter. "
"Evans' footage shows no riotous behavior taking place at that time. Protesters can be observed calmly walking around. Upon entering, Evans observed a police officer to his right, who was calmly standing watch inside the doorway through which he entered. No members of the protest were assaulting or resisting the officer in any way. Nor was the officer asking the protestors to leave."
Others who have been arrested and charged include Jacob Chansley, also known as Jake Angeli, of Arizona, who was most known for being the shirtless, face-painted man donned with horns and a bearskin headdress. He entered the Senate chambers after it emptied out and briefly stood at the dais, where he was photographed.
Chansley is known for his appearance at political rallies in Arizona and his support for President Trump. In one video posted online, he can be seen calling out, "Thank you President Trump! Thank you, Q!" The latter is believed to refer to the conspiracy theory outlet QAnon.
In an interview that same day in May, he explained that he attends the rallies because "I think it's important that the president of the United States knows that his people support him. … There's good patriotic Americans that see everything that he's going through and are willing to stand up and say, 'Hey man, I see what you're going through. I salute you. Thank you for doing your job.'"
View those videos here and here.
Also arrested was Richard "Bigo" Barnett of Gravette, Arkansas, who was pictured sitting with his boot up on a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office during the capitol uprising. According to reports and photographs, Barnett wrote, "We will not back down" in red on a folder on Pelosi's desk and also took an envelope from her office, which he held up for a reporter for the New York Times once outside.

Barnett turned himself in to the Benton County Sheriff's Office on Friday and has been charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds; and theft of public money, property or records.
He had been interviewed in November during a "Stop the Steal" rally in Bentonville, stating, "I ain't going down easy." View that video here.
Read the DoJ's report of his arrest here.
Others who have been arrested include Adam Johnson of Florida, Nicholas Ochs of Hawaii, Larry Brock of Texas and Eric Munchel of Tennessee. View the press releases on them here, here and here. At least four dozen have been arrested, according to reports.
The FBI says that, so far, there has been "no indication" that Antifa (short for "anti-fascists") was involved in the storming of the Capitol, as many alleged or suspected that they were disguised as Trump supporters.
Among others, former Pennsylvania House Rep. Rick Saccone was pictured outside at the protest, writing in an online post, "We are storming the Capitol. Our vanguard has broken through the barricades. We will save this nation. Are you with me?"
Daniel 2:21 teaches that God "changeth the times and the seasons: He removeth kings and setteth up kings."
Isaiah 9:6 says of Jesus, "the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace."
Colossians 3:2 exhorts, "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the Earth."

Does our present global environmental crisis demand a new way of thinking about art and its history? What role has art played in constructing an image of our environment as natural resource, scientific specimen, mythic Eden, arena of struggle, and/or fragile ecosystem? Can art and art history help envision a more sustainable world or are they part of the problem? As a way of addressing such questions, this course takes an "ecocritical" perspective on American art from the late 19th century (when the word "ecology" first appeared) to the present. More than any other single nation, the United States bears responsibility for the ecological challenges facing our planet, even as its citizens arguably enjoy unparalleled opportunities for creative freedom. By highlighting the interconnectedness of human beings with their environment in America, as well as the power of art to re-imagine that relationship, the course provokes students to re-think accepted canons and practices in light of other criteria having to do with sustainability, environmental justice, and our ethical responsibility to non-human life. Covering a wide range of artists and media - from the Romantic paintings and writings of Thomas Cole and John James Audubon to more recent work by Edward Burtynsky, Subhankar Banerjee, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Robert Smithson, Helen and Newton Harrison, Eduardo Kac, Alexis Rockman, Mark Dion and other contemporary artists active in this country - the course gives students a new and richly diverse opportunity to think about American art. NOTE: Field trips are mandatory for this course.

Bavaria expands capacity of brewing water production
Bavaria in Lieshout, one of the oldest breweries in the Netherlands, instructed Logisticon Water Treatment to expand the existing preparation of brewing water from spring water by an extra line with a capacity of 150 m³/h. Broadly speaking, the contract comprised a complete brewing water preparation plant consisting of an aeration/degassing tower, a large sand filter (for the simultaneous removal of Fe++ and Mn++) with a diameter of 5 m, with the related booster, transport and backwashing pumps. An unusual aspect of the design was special pH regulation of the aeration and degassing tower so optimum operation of the sand filter could be realised.
Because Logisticon was able to meet Bavaria's high requirements, in addition to the contract for the removal of Fe++ and Mn++ , it was also given the contract for a wide range of modifications in the water building. These activities compromised a polishing filter with a capacity of 20 m³/h for the removal of manganese, various pumping sections, the delivery of new stainless steel connecting piping varying in diameter from DN100-DN500 between the various water storage tanks and an automatic Clean-In-Place (CIP) manifold with stainless steel piping for the two new nano-filtration units.
