Ok Polaris, now here is mabel, quote "I know that hurts because I done it to myself before!" White is grappling hook" she grapples her grappling hook and hits it at her enemies, causing them to get hit. And from part 1 dippers basic attack is he hits his journal at his enemies. And green for mabel "Spray" she sprays a can at her enemies, it hurts her enemies' eyes, causing them to get blinded and damage over time. And her basic attack is she grapples her hook at enemies, kicking them while she grapples. Blue is "HAPPIENESS" she lights her sweater, giving them 350 energy. And purple is "MAKEUP" she makeups a ally, giving them 450 HP. @Polaris, i hope you can add disney XD characters instead of Disney. And make a screenshot who I should do next!
…further proof of my point. What is with you and this hate. This concept is 2 months old for crying out loud!!

The creative world of render. Our Pro-Series aims to give our clients more options, and really showcases how render can be used creatively, utilizing the beautiful natural materials and decorative finishes that are now available in the architectural coatings field. An added benefit of natural material finishes is that they are based on clay or lime and are free of dangerous chemicals, producing no odors or residual off-gassing.
ROCKCOTE Venetian Plaster is interesting and dramatic, it is a highly polished glass like finish that gives the illusion of depth and texture. When a concrete colour is used, it will achieve the highly polished cement render or polished concrete render industrial look that has become very popular in recent years. Other colours can create some very beautiful and interesting results also, sometimes even giving the illusion of marble. Venetian Plaster is opulent and stunning.
ROCKCOTE Marrakesh is a beautiful product that will achieve a natural, earthy and rustic appearance with the option to also be polished, should a more contemporary look be desired. Marrakesh is a traditional lime plaster that is very versatile and enables the Artisan to create a broad range of different finishes. It also has the benefit of being able to be used in wet areas such as bathrooms. It is truly beautiful to look at.
German Smear is a finish that creates a look reminiscent of a country farmhouse. It is applied over brickwork and allows some of the brickwork to show through. This finish can be applied externally for a very specific look or on internal brick walls as an interesting feature. Rustic, earthy and industrial.
Natural Stone finishes will achieve a highly textured natural look of stone with a range of decorative finishes made from marble, stone and other naturally sourced minerals. For example, Marble Trowel On provides a coloured texture finish using naturally sourced coloured marble chips, ideal for use on feature columns or walls, or even front facades.
ROCKCOTE Clay Plaster is a fine finishing natural clay plaster that glistens in the light due to the addition of marble dust. This finish is very textural, bringing a rustic warmth. Many unique effects can be created by adding in other materials such as shells for a very interesting finish.
ROCKCOTE Osumigaki is a polished earthen lime finish. It is subtly elegant with warmth and lustre, naturally creating textural depth.
ROCKCOTE Concrete Finish achieves an industrial concrete appearance and is perfect for feature walls. Unlike Venetian Plaster which is highly polished, this concrete finish has more of a low sheen. Edgy and industrial.

The vi editor is one of the most common text editors on Unix. It was developed starting around 1976 by Bill Joy at UCB, who was tired of the ed editor. But since he used ed as a code base, access to the original sources has required a commercial Unix Source Code License for more than twenty years. In January 2002, Caldera was so kind to remove usage restrictions to the Ancient Unix Code by a BSD-style license (see the announcement at Slashdot) and thus vi is now finally free.
Compared to most of its many clones, the traditional vi is a rather small program (the binary size is approximately 160 kBytes on i386) just with its extremely powerful editing interface, but lacking fancy features like multiple undo, multiple screens, or syntax highlighting.

As I've said many times before, I absolutely love small knives. I think they are the most useful all around knife simply because you'll always have it on you. Unlike big blades (which absolutely have their own place) small knives can be slipped into a pocket or a bag and be ready to go when you are.
This knife is no exception. It has a 2.5″ pattern welded blade, and a 4″ walnut handle with a copper bolster and black and red spacers.

The Radford Highlanders men's basketball statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Radford Highlanders men's basketball program in various categories, including points, assists, blocks, rebounds, and steals. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Highlanders represent Radford University in the NCAA's Big South Conference.

Radford began competing in intercollegiate basketball in 1974.  The NCAA did not officially record assists as a stat until the 1983–84 season, and blocks and steals until the 1985–86 season, but Radford's record books include players in these stats before these seasons. These lists are updated through the end of the 2020–21 season.

Home Gold iPhone iPhone 5s Why is Gold iPhone selling like Gold?
Why is Gold iPhone selling like Gold?
The champagne colored iPhone has become a frenzy amongst the new iPhone 5s buyers and its witnessed across the world.
As expected across the globe there were huge scores of people standing in queue to get their hands on the latest iPhone but this time there was a twist. Many people proffered the Gold iPhone and it quickly ran out of stock.
As people found out that the gold iPhone is sold out they started dropping off. About 30% of the people standing in the queue went back home empty handed as they preferred Gold iPhone than anything else.
Same was witnessed in Chinese Taipei. When asked to on of the buyers he gave a very good reason. He mentioned that the Gold color is the single distinctive differentiators that the phone is a new iPhone. The white and grey are still legacy colors and no one would know that these are new iPhone.
Taking this general feedback seriously Apple has asked its vendors to actually produce more Gold iPhones as they are getting sold out fast. Many people love the iPhone for its premium nature and style quotient and Gold simply will add to their style statement.


You might be struggling with your weight since birth and always had an issue with clothes or going to the beach or didn't feel confident on your wedding night. Have your mother, father or grandmother ever told you that you should start doing more exercises or eat less if you want to be thin? They probably also told that you got the "bone structure" of the other side of the family. You also might have tried every other weight loss diet on earth. Well I'm here to tell you that all of that were lies. Don't get me wrong, I know that they also just told you what they thought were the truth. Even weight loss companies tell you that. Remember that they can only make money when you're overweight.
Since birth your parents taught you what and when to eat. You formed a framework in your mind for what you thought was right. By doing that they trained your body the speed of its metabolism. Your metabolism got slow not because of the way you were born or your DNA or which side of the family you're from. No, your metabolism got slow because it was trained to be slow. Let's take an example. Your weight loss diet tells you to eat 2000 calories per day. You then train your body to burn 2000 calories per day. Over time your body adapts itself according to the amount of calories you take. Whenever you have a day where you eat 2500 calories, then you will gain weight. Your body won't burn that extra 500 calories. It will store it as fat.
The only real solution is to eat the right foods at the right times. You can't lose weight by eating just once a day or doing exercises 10 hours per day. So many other weight loss diets focus on eating less or exercising more. That simply doesn't work. Food and when you eat food is the key to your beautiful body. Food is the ultimate solution for your weight problems. It doesn't matter how little you eat. It matters what you eat and when you eat it. Food is way better than any weight loss diet pills, trust me. No other quick weight loss diet comes even close.
Your brain controls 2 hormones after each meal. It is the fat burning hormone and the fat storing hormone. You have to teach your body to release the fat burning hormone after you had your meal. When you do this you'll start to lose weight every day. You'll lose 4.5 kg every 11 days. Can you imagine that? That means that you can have a gorgeous body in a few weeks without starving yourself or spending hours in the gym, but just by eating the right foods at the right times.
You can only be slim when you eat the right foods and the right intervals each day. There's no other solution to get thin and stay thin. There are thousands of other weight loss diets out there that will work, but they'll only work for a while. They are either forcing you to starve or they expect you to have a huge budget to buy all the special meals and dietary supplements.
I shortly just want to explain to you why these diets don't work. A low calorie weight loss diet will teach your body to burn fat slowly as explained above.
A low carb weight loss diet will work for a while till you're so exhausted that you have to give up. Your body need carbs like an engine needs fuel.
A low fat weight loss diet also doesn't work. Have you ever noticed how many low fat foods are available in stores? Low fat foods have gotten more popular the last 5 years. Why then are people struggling with their weight more than ever. Believe me, a low fat weight loss diet is not the solution.
I've found the weight loss diet that will teach your body to burn fat even while you're asleep. Yes it sounds ridiculous but all I ask is that you give it 11 days. You have to make a choice whether you're making peace with how you look or if you going to have the body that you've always wanted. Just ask yourself: What if it's true? What if I can wear any clothes I want not feeling depressed when I go to the store? What if people start to stair at me because I look great and not because I'm fat?
You might be getting married or you have a reunion in a few weeks. This is your chance to feel great about yourself. Don't let this opportunity pass you buy. Fill in your name and email address below and I'll send you the details immediately.

Q: Is it possible to build the same program twice in OpenCL with different preprocessor options. Given the following code, wher P is a cl_program loaded with some source code.
What happens if i run
*err = clBuildProgram (p,
                       1,
                       m_gpu_device_id,
                       str0,   // Compiler options, see the specifications for more details
                       0,
                       0);

cl_kernel kernel0= clCreateKernel (p,   // The program where the kernel is
                        "nn_feedforward",   // The name of the kernel, i.e. the name of the kernel function as it's declared in the code
                        err);

*err = clBuildProgram (p,1,m_gpu_device_id, str1 ,0, 0);
cl_kernel kernel1 = clCreateKernel (p, "nn_feedforward", err);

Will the kernel1 work with the options of str1 in contrast to kernel0 with str0 options. or will the first kernel get written over in some way.

Sutherland Lyall energetically explores the byways of architectural cyberspace.
What is it about Edward Cullinan Architects?
Ted Cullinan is a British architectural institution: Royal Academician, founder of the first (of very few) architectural co-operatives, sometimes quirky innovator and not half bad architect, his office web site is at www.edwardcullinanarchitects.com. According to senior director, Robin Nicholson, as we clashed trolleys in the local wine warehouse the other week, it's demonstrably getting them inquiries/work. I'd say that is because it is a model of brevity and clarity. The home page has colour coded links to its four main sections: Office Profile, Projects, News and Events, and how to contact the office. Meantime on the left there's an animation, of a building in section, being built and altered over and over again. The sections maintain the basic design: practice name across the top, a nice big open sans serif face on a white background and then below the pages are grey with a thin border across the top in the colour relevant to the section - the same colour being used for crossheadings. Text on the grey bac kground is in readable white sans serif type (possibly, because last month's Fontexplorer font identifier was no use, Tahoma which is on all Windows machines) - and, happily for potential clients of a certain age, it's adjustable with the browser's View/Text Size command. The text itself is brief, no-nonsense stuff although it could do with a lot fewer capitals and commas. Happily most of the architectural commentary is by other people and hidden away in the Projects section whence you have to download it all packed into one big pdf file the site supplies a link to a free download of Acrobat Reader in the unlikely event of you not having it. High graphic art this ain't but the slightly woodsy colours, the absence of marketing cant and the simple workaday purposefulness of the site must set up in the minds of potential clients the idea that the practice is friendly, straightforward and will get the job done. Slap on the wrist, though, for the absence of a credit for the designer.
Still amazing, probably
Stung, doubtless by Browser's gloom about the lack of an Archigram site, one of the surviving heroes, Dennis Crompton, points me to www.archigram.net. It was there a month ago (a tad neglected) following the boy's rapturous reception at the RIBA but I'm not sure whether it will still he live when you read this. Whatever, try it.
Finally admitted
A footnote to my review of the Aga Khan's ArchNet site at http://archnet.org. The day after we went to press I had a courteous reply to my plaintive email about being locked into a password loop and I was allowed in. Then I tried it later and was in the loop again. By a stroke of luck, I wondered about turning on cookies in my browser. That did the trick. Naughty, naughty. Maybe one per cent of the site's Browser visits require you to activate your cookies facility. And you should be told. European Community laws will soon insist on it. Cookies are thought to be useful by some retail and commercial sites because they trace your movement around the site. Their use is apparently declining in the US - partly because people have a well developed sense of privacy and partly, because most marketing people don't really know how to interpret the data they provide. But the Archnet site? Well, I can report that several (non-Muslim) people I know who have used this site say that if you want information it's quite good b ut that its design qualities are less than exciting. Quite so. The two most discussed topics in the chatroom were about the effects of music on designers and whether you had to be a Muslim to design a mosque. Happily most correspondents said no. You may also want to take a look at the site of the Islamic Arts and Architecture Organization at www.islamicart.com which is a mainly text site and seems a bit friendlier.
You have to be cautious about sites which haven't been recently updated - and www.clr.utoronto.ca which is the site of the Canadian Centre for Landscape Research has January 2002 as its last update but you persist. In the home page search box I tried wetlands, quincunx, Martha Schwartz and Stourhead, a better spread some might say than the keywords one uses to test architecture sites. Still, little joy with these except for wetlands. The first of the six responses to this was a Martha Schwartz design for Cumberland Park. Ho hum. This is a site which is undergoing a comprehensive renovation, but seems to have lots of potential so don't give up on us U of Toronto.
Fun with the Technoids
This month's pleasure is to be found at www.villette-numerique.com. It's based at that great Parisian institution, the Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie at Pare de La Villette. It is actually a site to do with the biennial Villette Numerique festival of arts, science, music, movies, interactive stuff and that sort of thing which in September was attended by a modest 35 000 'technoid people'. Uncharacteristically for French sites, this has an alternative English text version. I guess it breaks lots of the rules of commercial/information website design but, since the event is long over, that hardly matters, especially when the charming whimsy of its games and delicate interactive animation will keep you occupied through the immediate post-Christmas longueurs.

Dan Sultana from Motor City Blog made the trip up to the Traverse City Comedy Festival and got some great photos including the one above. Check out lots more in his Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival slideshow!
When I was interviewing Jeff (Garlin) on Saturday, he dropped maybe the most exciting news about next year's festival possible: "We're going to start on Thursday and end on Saturday," he announced. At the time, I didn't actually realize this was exciting news, but by the end of yesterday, I was overjoyed at the prospect.
We've got all the blog posts, tweets and photos archived over at the 2010 Traverse City Comedy Festival page on Absolute Michigan. When they post some video, we'll add that too!
Event dynamo Michael Moore has teamed up with comedian Jeff Garlin to launch the Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival. The inaugural comedy fest takes place this weekend (February 19-21, 2010) and features and impressive roster of established comedians including Roseanne Barr, John Waters, Whitney Cummings, JB Smoove, Mike Birbiglia along with some up-and-coming comedians, films and associated hoopla. View the schedule of comedians and special events & films and order tickets!
The venues that they use for the annual Traverse City Film Festival will be converted to have a nightclub feel and they'll even be doing free, late night shows in the basement of Horizon Books hosted by Jeff Garlin. They'll also be having a free, outdoor showing of the comedy classic Groundhog Day with special live features. All in all, it's shaping up to be a one-of-a-kind experience for Michigan comedy fans!
You can follow blog posts, #comedytc Twitter posts and other media on the TCFF Blog and on Absolute Michigan's Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival page.
Head over to Absolute Michigan's Traverse City pages to get lodging, dining and other visitor information.

H&M To Shut Down 170 Stores After Sales Decline

Fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz aka H&M said on Wednesday it would open far fewer stores in 2018 as it responds to the shift to shopping online and announced plans to launch a new outlet to sell external brands alongside its own ranges.
Following decades of rapid expansion, the world's second-biggest clothes group after Zara owner Inditex has struggled to respond to the growth of ecommerce. Its image was dented further last month by an ad slammed by many as racist. People are connecting the dots between this and the recent controversy regarding one of H&M's ads.
H&M Apologizes After Using Black Child in 'Monkey' Hoodie Ad
The company said its profits fell 33 percent in the fourth quarter, to 3.99 billion kronor ($506 million), with sales dropping 2 percent to 50.4 million kronor ($6.4 million). It said "the industry changes are challenging everyone and this will continue in 2018."
CEO Karl-Johan Persson said that the digitalization of shopping "is driving the need to transform and re-think faster and faster." He said the group's performance was "clearly below our expectations."
Sales were weak at the physical stores, where "the changes in customer behavior are being felt most strongly and footfall has reduced with more sales online," Persson said.
Shares in H&M fell almost 8 percent in Stockholm after the release of the earnings figures.
The CEO said there is "still potential for strong growth in some regions whereas in others we can get a better balance by reducing store space."
The group plans to open approximately 390 new stores and close 170 stores in 2018 with new H&M store markets planned in Uruguay and Ukraine.
The brands H&M and H&M Home will open on the world's largest e-commerce platform in China in March, and H&M will launch a new brand, called Afound, in Sweden together with a digital marketplace there. It will be an off-price marketplace offering products from well-known and popular fashion and lifestyle brands.
In recent weeks, the Stockholm-based group had been accused of racism over an ad showing a black child dressed in a hoodie reading "coolest monkey in the jungle," for which H&M has apologized.
It led to the company appointed a company veteran to become a diversity leader.
"All in all, we feel 2017 was a year where we made more steps forward and did more groundwork for the future, but we have also made some mistakes that have slowed us down," Persson said.

Robinson phenomenon — older women dating younger men — has made its way out of Hollywood and into the actual world, according to a contemporary survey. Jennifer Berman, a urologist whose husband is four years her junior, says ladies aren't ruling younger men out any long for various reasons. Not barely the workplace but the bedroom, said Dr. Berman, co-director designed for the female sexual medicine center at UCLA. Jennifer Berman's sister, Laura Berman, a sex analyst and director of the Berman Center at Northwestern University all the rage Chicago, says that while femininity is a part of the reason women choose younger men, it's not the whole aim.

LEWISTON — A 71-year-old woman suffered severe injuries Thursday morning when a neighbor's dog attacked her as she raked leaves in her yard on Helen Street, police said.
David Davis, 35, of 12 Myrtle St. was charged with keeping a dangerous dog, failing to license and vaccinate the animal and allowing it to run at large, Lewiston police Lt. David St. Pierre said.
Dispatchers received a frantic call about 11:15 a.m. from a witness who reported a woman was being savagely attacked at 34 Helen St.
"The information indicated the woman was on the ground being mauled by the dog and her arm and hand were severely injured," St. Pierre wrote in a news release. "The woman reportedly lost consciousness prior to the officers' arrival as the dog continued its attack."
Police said witnesses tried to get the dog to release its grip on the woman's arm.
When police arrived, the dog was still attacking the woman.
"The woman was clearly in distress and was yelling, '(the dog) is killing me,'" St. Pierre wrote in the release. "The officer tased the animal, which momentarily stopped the attack, but then it attempted to bite the officer before turning its attention back to the woman, biting her on the face and neck.
"The officer," St. Pierre said, "fearing that this bite would result in fatal injuries to the woman, shot the dog once with his handgun in the side. Despite being shot, the dog was able to bite the woman one last time before running a short distance where it died."
Paramedics provided medical assistance before the woman was taken to Central Maine Medical Center where she was being treated later Thursday.
About 2:30 p.m., a relative said the woman was undergoing surgery to repair extensive damage to both her arms, her thighs and her face. She described the attack as a "mauling."
Early indications were that the dog, believed to be a pit bull, had slipped through a damaged section of a fence to get to the woman's yard.
The dog owner was said to be devastated over the attack on his neighbor.
The dog's body was taken to an animal shelter to be transported to the Maine Crime Lab in Augusta for rabies testing, St. Pierre said.
An evidence technician photographed the scene for the ongoing investigation.
Davis was scheduled to appear in Lewiston District Court on Aug. 11. Police said there is a possibility more charges will be filed.

World Vision Rwanda commits to plant over 7 million trees
by M.Aluoch | Nov 16, 2020 | Project Updates | 0 comments
By Jean de Dieu Nsabiman
World Vision Rwanda through its partnership with the Regreening Africa and Forest Landscape Restoration projects has committed to plant a total of 7,695,300 trees throughout the 2020/21 tree planting season to address climate change and improve livelihoods.
In line with the national theme for the tree planting season, 'Forests for Community Livelihood and Sustainable Development', and in an effort to contribute towards the government's target of planting 25 million trees, the organisation held a tree planting event in Nyagatare District on Friday, Nov. 13, 2020, to create awareness on the challenges of land degradation and the need for land restoration initiatives.
The Regreening Africa Project funded by the European Union (EU) and the Forestry Landscape Restoration (FLR) project funded by the Australian government through its Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and World Vision with technical support from World Agroforestry (ICRAF), together support farmers to improve their livelihoods.
Delegates from Rwanda Forestry Authority, Nyagatare District, representatives from World Vision, ICRAF, Rwanda Agriculture Board (RAB) and other implementing partners joined residents and farmers in Nyagatare District to plant several types of trees and other multipurpose agroforestry trees in Gishuro IDP Model Village, Gishuro Cell, Tabagwe Sector. Present at the event was also Pascal Zahonero, a European Union delegate.
Precisely 7,100 agroforestry trees, which include 4,100 fruit trees, were planted in the model village that accommodates 64 vulnerable families since July.
Last year, the Christian humanitarian organisation through the two projects planted more than six million tree seedlings whilst facilitating local community participatory approaches in tree seedlings production, capacity building in various agroforestry and land restoration practices to enhance agricultural productivity.
"World Vision works to ensure children live in a safe and conducive environment that enables them to fulfil their potential. The impact of climate change leaves vulnerable children most exposed" said the National Director of World Vision Rwanda, Sean Kerrigan.
"Participating in activities that conserve the environment such as tree planting and training farmers on sustainable agricultural practices that enhance soil fertility is one of the ways to reduce climate shocks as well as to support the livelihoods of families that depend on farming" he added.
Adele Mukamunana, who is in her late 70s, is one of 64 families living in the model village, where she lives with five grandchildren. She expects to start eating fruits from their own trees in two years since they just planted grafted seedlings.
She said: "It has been long since I ate an avocado or papaya, but we are certain that we will soon when these trees mature. Fruits are really important to our health, especially to these grandchildren."
"We are really grateful for what we were given," she added.
Nyagatare District Vice Mayor in charge of Economic Development, Stephen Rurangwa, commended the partnership that promotes the environment, explaining that the district needs more trees and forests due to its climate.
"A few years ago, we could not get rain on time, people wondered what could have happened, but we the people are the reason, when we do not preserve the environment, it leads to climate crisis, which affects us and our activities such as agriculture, and it affects our future as well," he declared.
He said people should commit to leave the world a better place for future generations by protecting the environment.
"These fruits will promote good nutrition for families, healthy growth for children, as well as improved incomes for the households," Rurangwa added.
Dismas Bakundukize, Director for the Forest Management Unit in Rwanda Forestry Authority, said World Vision's "commendable" activity complements the Government programmes.
"This is a model village, a programme for proper settlements, however, the settlements are not complete if there are no trees. The trees will protect the village from winds, will provide shade from the sun and will make the place more attractive," he explained.
The agroforestry trees can provide livestock feed, cooking fuel, but most importantly, the fruits can improve nutrition, he reiterated.
Trees still play a huge role in cooking in Rwanda, since the current NISR statistics show that 79 percent of the population use firewood as a source of fuel.
However, the figures show that more forests are located in Western Province on Congo-Nile Crest, with 42 percent of the land covered by forests.
In Eastern Province, on the other hand, it is 5 percent, "in the province, there is not enough space to plant forests, that is why we have chosen to plant agroforestry trees that can be grown in crops and pasturelands," Bakundukize stated.
The official said that the ideal is 150 trees of agroforestry trees per hectare, and by 2024, Rwanda's goal is that 85% of all farms will be covered by agroforestry trees.
In Eastern Province, the trees provided by World Vision Rwanda will be planted in the districts of Gatsibo, Nyagatare, Kayonza and Bugesera. The trees will include different species to address the various household needs such as fruits, fodder, soil fertility, firewood, erosion control and many others.
Regreening Africa is an ambitious five-year project that seeks to reverse land degradation among 500,000 households, and across 1 million hectares in eight countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. By incorporating trees into croplands, communal lands and pastoral areas, regreening efforts make it possible to reclaim Africa's degraded landscapes.


Why GPS Enabled Tracking System for sand mining?

2. We all have smaller incomes therefore smaller living spaces. This serves 2 purposes.
Our old lamp base broke.
I have similar lamps and I love the look and practicality especially in a small room. Add a colorful lamp shade and it really brightens up a room corner.
Best price I could find. Thanks!
I like the clean lines of the lamp. And the little tray table is ideal for what I need!
Can I purchase replacement glass for Dayton Style#1K788?
BEST ANSWER: Hi - I am sorry, a replacement glass table is not available.
Is the glass tray removable just in case?
BEST ANSWER: Hi - The glass table is not designed to be removable.
This glass tray is not removable.
What is the weight of assembled lamp?
BEST ANSWER: This weighs 13 pounds.
I can just tell you that the lamp is very well balanced and not tippy. The majority of the weight is in the floor base, but the glass table keeps the whole thing from being a tip hazard. Hope that helped.
That was part of my concern, that if you put a coffee mug on the table portion, the lamp might lean or get tippy.
Hi. I have no idea of the weight but I, at 5'2" 115 lbs, can more than easily move it.
BEST ANSWER: Hi, the floor lamp does require assembly.

Hi, no it does not include a remote. To order a compatible remote please contact one of our lighting specialists.
No it is not entirely solid brass.
I love this lamp. The shade looks great and the glass tray has come in very handy for my needs. A little wobbly on carpet, but can be adjusted with the included foot attachments.
This lamp was whate l was looking for, At a fair and reasonable price.
Due to different review I though I would need other lamp shades. But they turn out good as they are, nothing fancy or over the top..but exactly as the picture shown.
They also keep a good stability.
Came quickly and just like the photo. Packaged well so that glass was protected. Very sleek looking. Love the table portion!

Today's Brent value increases over South Sudan developments
Brent value has gone up marginally today after news emerged from South Sudan government that rebels have seized the capital of a key oil-producing region, reviving supply concerns.
By admin-demo
According to Reuters, Brent crude increased by one cent to $111.78 a barrel, while US crude dropped by 11 cents at $99.21.
The South Sudan government said on its Twitter account that it was no longer in control of Bentiu, the capital of Unity State.
South Sudan, which gets nearly 99% of its government budget from oil revenues, is believed to be on the verge of an all-out ethnic civil war in the world's newest country.

China National Petroleum, an oil investor in South Sudan has evacuated oil workers from its oilfields to the capital, Juba.
"They are significant enough to make people nervous."
A government official said the country's output of 245,000bpd, however, was still flowing normally despite tensions reaching vital oil fields.
The prices got more support as Libyan key oil ports were shut by a group demanding greater autonomy for the country's eastern part.
Libya's oil output has dropped to around 250,000 barrels per day (bpd) from 1.4 million five months ago, adding concerns among investors.
Jonathan Barratt, chief executive of Barratt's Bulletin said: "You've lost Libyan supply and you'll lose Sudanese supply. Although they are not large amounts, they are significant enough to make people nervous."
Saudi Arabia's oil minister said worries about short supplies have caused the oil market's pricing dynamics to shift in recent days, and that the kingdom was ready to cut production.

Stories of Bodies
Stories of bodies as a category:
more than what is traditionally counted as body-language or non-verbal communication within communication studies
a material-discursive apparatus and the story mode of this apparatus encompasses the full multimodal participatory framework (Goodwin 2000), including dress-codes
the 'weight' of the congealed action (marks on bodied) of the iterative enactment of specific material-discursive life practices as they articulate through body postures, body movements and voiced, language practices are understood as part of this story mode
the tactile and kinesthetic body-movements as knowledge-making practices, where the lived practice generates knowing through the immediate participation/enactment of various material-discursive practices
the body understood as an affective site of engagement
Performance Scenography
The idea behind this concept is to convey an understanding of the various modalities entailed as parts of performances as co-configurative agencies, which are 'showing in action' as a supplement to the 'telling in words'. Further the performer is regarded as a unique storyteller with a unique history, identity and performance praxis and therefore there is no 'right way' to do a performance – no 'uniform'. Instead the performance training is about configuring a performance in a balance between the situational context (the audience and the purpose) and the unique qualities of the performer. Authenticity then is regarded as a local phenomenon that emerges 'of' the situation, where the performance is taking place and as something that can be recognized as the ability of the performer to practice a professional presence in the situation.

The concept is employed as a course at the Master Program of Communication Studies at Aalborg University

Micky, Coco, Chip Douglas, and Henry Diltz gather to celebrate Davy Jones Christmas album
Here's a real treat: Parade magazine conducted an interview yesterday with Micky Dolenz, Coco Dolenz, legendary photographer Henry Diltz, and Monkees producer Chip Douglas on their Facebook page in promotion of It's Christmas Time Once More, a collection of holiday classics recorded by Davy Jones.
The album, originally issued in 1991 as It's Christmas Time Again, was re-released in November 2020 after being given a contemporary treatment featuring Davy's original vocals along with brand new guest appearances by Micky, Coco, Henry, and Davy's singer/songwriter daughter Annabel Jones, all overseen by The Monkees' celebrated producer Chip Douglas (Headquarters, "Daydream Believer," and more).
It's Christmas Time Once More is now available to download on iTunes and stream on Apple Music, Amazon, and Spotify. You can also purchase a compact disc edition from the official Davy Jones Shop.
Enjoy the interview below or watch it here.
Davy Jones Christmas album coming this holiday season (UPDATED X3)
In 1991, Davy Jones released the cassette tape It's Christmas Time Again. And now, almost thirty years later, the album has been given a contemporary treatment featuring Davy's original vocals, along with guest appearances by Micky Dolenz, Coco Dolenz, Henry Diltz, and Davy's singer/songwriter daughter Annabel Jones, all overseen by celebrated Monkees producer Chip Douglas.
Douglas was at the helm for The Monkees' two most acclaimed albums, Headquarters and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd., as well as some of their best single sides, including "Daydream Believer," "Goin' Down," "Pleasant Valley Sunday," "Words," and "The Girl I Knew Somewhere." He recently talked about the opportunity to revisit Davy's early '90s holiday collection. "This was a rare chance to remix and enhance these recordings by adding the lovely voice of Davy's daughter Annabel whose heartwarming vocals on 'White Christmas' and 'Silent Night' were well above and beyond my expectations," Douglas told Rolling Stone. "Micky and Coco Dolenz beautifully enhanced 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' and Henry Diltz, and other friends, added just the right gusto to 'Hark The Herald Angels Sing.'"
"Singing with my dad on this record was an extremely beautiful and healing experience," Annabel said in a statement. "What a gift to be able to share a moment like this!"
The Monkees delivered their first-ever holiday album, Christmas Party, via Rhino Records in 2018. That album featured posthumous contributions by Davy Jones, who passed away in 2012.

Henry Diltz photographs The Monkees on the set of "Hillbilly Honeymoon"
The Monkees Live Almanac would like to wish a very happy birthday to legendary rock and roll/Monkees photographer Henry Diltz, who was born on this day in 1938 in Kansas City, Missouri.
Henry is also a musician, and was a member of the Modern Folk Quartet in the 1960s. While a member of MFQ, Diltz became interested in photography, met The Monkees, played on some of their recording sessions (that's Henry on banjo on "D.W. Washburn"), and took numerous pictures of the group. Henry was the official lensman at Woodstock and has photographed numerous album covers, including Morrison Hotel (The Doors) and the debut LP from Crosby, Stills & Nash.
In honor of Henry's birthday today, here's one of his photos taken during production of the second season Monkees episode, "Hillbilly Honeymoon," in September 1967:

Paris Stachtiaris interviews legendary Monkees and rock music photographer Henry Diltz about Woodstock
(Photo by Paul Zollo)
Monkees fans are likely to recall the name Paris Stachtiaris, co-host of Headquarters ("The only radio show in America dedicated to The Monkees") that originally aired on 90.3 WBAU-FM, the radio station of Adelphi University in Long Island, New York, from 1987 to 1990. Cassette tapes of the program, which featured interviews with Monkees luminaries like Chip Douglas, Ward Sylvester, Jim Frawley, Coco Dolenz, Lester Sill, Monte Landis, Gerry Goffin, the individual Monkees themselves, and others, were frequently traded among fans in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
And now in 2019 Paris is back, with co-host Ben Brown, producing a special in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock that will air Labor Day Weekend on HCS internet radio. Paris and Ben's premier guest is the renowned rock photographer Henry Diltz, the official lensman of Woodstock who also has photographed The Monkees extensively since the 1960s. Paris has informed the Live Almanac that he is planning to play Rhino's recently released (and now sold out) 38-disc box set, containing nearly every note played at Woodstock, during the special.
The Woodstock Radio Special will air on HCS internet radio beginning Friday, August 30 at 5:00 PM through Monday morning, September 2, and you can preview the interview with Henry from the special right now! And don't miss a selection of Henry's photographs from Woodstock, courtesy of his website.
Thanks to Paris for keeping everyone informed about his latest project, and be sure to check out the archives of the Headquarters radio program here at The Monkees Live Almanac!
The Monkees warm up while backstage in Salt Lake City in May 1968
This past November, the 50th anniversary of Head was commemorated at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood and featured special guests Micky Dolenz and Michael Nesmith. Monkees archivist and producer Andrew Sandoval hosted a Q&A session with Micky and Michael after the sold-out screening, which also included a slideshow created by Andrew that showcased photographs taken by legendary rock photographer Henry Diltz. The slideshow revealed many never before seen photos from The Monkees' appearance at Valley Music Hall in Salt Lake City, Utah while filming the "Circle Sky" sequence for the movie Head, screenshots which can be seen below. (The slideshow can be viewed in its entirety at Michael Nesmith's Videoranch Facebook page.)

Henry Diltz photographs The Monkees live at Lagoon's Patio Gardens in May 1968
On May 17, 1968, The Monkees finished their first and only motion picture, Head, with the filming of the "Circle Sky" concert scene in front of four thousand fans at the Valley Music Hall in Salt Lake City, Utah. They performed "Circle Sky" several times for the cameras and also did a handful of other special requests.
Patio Gardens, a venue housed inside the Farmington, Utah amusement resort Lagoon, was the original location for the filming of "Circle Sky." The venue was changed at the last minute to the Valley Music Hall in Salt Lake City for logistical reasons, despite fans already waiting in line at Patio Gardens. To make amends, The Monkees delivered a 30-minute set later that evening in front of a crowd of five thousand at Patio Gardens. This particular show was not filmed or recorded, and a setlist has yet to surface. The two Utah-based concerts in May 1968 would constitute the last live performances by all four Monkees in the United States until 1986.

Monkees book "Reel to Real" experiences another publication delay (UPDATED X2)
In June 2017, The Monkees Live Almanac reported about a new listing on Amazon for the long-awaited Monkees book by Gary Strobl, Henry Diltz, and Harvey Kubernik. Entitled The Monkees: From Reel to Real, the online retailer advertised a release date of September 18, 2017. When speaking with Omnibus Press (the publisher of Reel to Real) last summer after the book appeared on Amazon, the Live Almanac was able to attain more information, including that the publication date had actually been delayed to 2018.
Unfortunately, one year later, it can now be reported that The Monkees: From Reel to Real is experiencing another postponement. Today I spoke with Matthew from Omnibus Press, and he was kind enough to take time to update fans about the book. "October 2019 is the current pub date," Matthew relayed to the Live Almanac. "The book is a mighty tome and we are putting in the work to make sure that this is the best book it can be. Rest assured it will be worth the wait when it arrives. We're obviously very keen for the fans to know that we're taking the book seriously and are determined to bring everyone a book about the Monkees that will stand as their definitive story."
The Monkees Live Almanac will continue to report more information about this project as it becomes available. And a special thanks to Matthew at Omnibus Press for providing the latest updates on the publication of Reel to Real.
UPDATE 7/23/2019: The Live Almanac exchanged emails today with the Commercial Director of Omnibus Press who now informs the site that Reel to Real is now expected to be published in late 2020. "I'm afraid we still don't have a publication date, but we are getting closer!"
UPDATE 11/20/2020: The Live Almanac spoke today via email with the editor of Omnibus Press who relayed that work continues on the book but that a publication date is still to be determined.

"Reel to Real" publishing date delayed (UPDATED X3)
Earlier this week, The Monkees Live Almanac reported about a new listing on Amazon for the long-awaited Monkees book by Gary Strobl, Henry Diltz, and Harvey Kubernik. Entitled The Monkees: From Reel to Real, the online retailer advertised a release date of September 18, 2017. The Live Almanac can now confirm that the book has been delayed to 2018.
Sophie, a representative from Omnibus Press (the publisher of Reel to Real) was highly enthused about the project while also explaining the postponement. "We're thrilled to be publishing this title," she told the Live Almanac. "The pub date is actually being put back so we can incorporate some new material. It's likely to be delayed until September of next year, though we may publish in the spring. It's going to be a truly beautiful thing, so I hope you'll forgive the new date!"
Be sure to stay tuned to The Monkees Live Almanac for further updates.

Amazon lists "The Monkees: From Reel to Real" book for September release (UPDATED X4)
Gary Strobl is a lifelong Monkees fan and collector who has been compiling a book on The Monkees since 1983, conducting research and amassing numerous amounts of interviews through the years. Strobl, in collaboration with noted rock and Monkees photographer Henry Diltz, and journalist Harvey Kubernik, announced in May 2013 that a deal had been signed to publish their work. And now, it looks like Gary and company's long-awaited book on The Monkees will become a reality!
Amazon now shows a listing for The Monkees: From Reel to Real from Omnibus Press, with a release date of September 18, 2017. The online retailer provides the following description for the 496 page hardcover book:
In 1965 America launched its assault on The Beatles - a blueprint boy band called The Monkees who against all the odds triumphed with their music, their personalities and their zany half-hour TV shows. The quartet of Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith spent three years in a blazing spotlight before disintegrating into a mess of recriminations and ill-feeling. With contributions from all the major players in the Monkees' saga - including the four Monkees themselves - Reel To Real is an oral history of the group that follows their adventures through to their eventual split. Along the way we learn how they came together, the background to their movie Head! and the financial chaos that loomed with the realization that the only ones who didn't make any money out of The Monkees were The Monkees themselves.
Thank you very much to Dan McKenzine for giving the heads-up to the Live Almanac about the Amazon listing. Stay tuned for more details!
UPDATE 6/22/2017: "Reel to Real" publishing date delayed

Henry Diltz recalls photographing Micky
The July 1995 issue of Television Chronicles magazine featured an extensive article written by Bill Groves about The Monkees television series, and also included an interview with legendary rock and Monkees photographer Henry Diltz.
A photo from this session appeared in the 1969 Monkees tour program:
Happy Birthday to Henry Diltz!
The Monkees Live Almanac would like to wish a very happy birthday to rock and Monkees photographer extraordinaire Henry Diltz, who was born on this day in 1938 in Kansas City, Missouri.
Henry is also a musician, and is perhaps most famously known for being a member of the Modern Folk Quartet. While a member of MFQ, Diltz became interested in photography, met The Monkees, played on some of their recording sessions, and took numerous photographs of the group. Henry was the official photographer at Woodstock, as well as the Monterey Pop Festival, and has photographed numerous album covers, including Morrison Hotel (The Doors) and the debut LP from Crosby, Stills & Nash.
This blog has an entire category dedicated to Henry, with plenty of great stories and articles. Oh, and Henry, if you are reading, how about a photo book centered around your rare photographs of The Monkees to celebrate the group's 50th Anniversary next year?!

"One day in 1968 in Laurel Canyon I made myself some special Virgo love beads. There were seven blue and seven white with one red one at the very end. I wore them the next day on The Monkees film set and right away Davy Jones asked me if I would make some for him. Then the camera man wanted some. Holy cow, these were my special personal love beads! Soon the teenybopper magazines were advertising Monkees Love Beads and selling packets... 'string em yourself.' At least they never knew about the one red bead at the end..."

Henry Diltz reminisces about the Gene Clark Group
In a recent Facebook post, Henry Diltz recalled the Gene Clark Group, featuring Chip Douglas, who would later become The Monkees' producer in the recording studio:
"The Gene Clark group outside the Whiskey A Go Go in 1966 (my first year photographing). L to R: Chip Douglas (a.k.a. Douglas Hatlelid), my bandmate from the MFQ, Bill Rinehart, guitarist and surfer, Gene Clark, former Byrd, Joel Larsen, drummer and driver. A short-lived but cool group."

America's Lowest Carbon Footprint Cars
Jeff Cobb July 3, 2015
Sorry there are no photos!
Do you ever wonder whether it matters for the environment what kind of car you drive?
According to the U.S. EPA, a plug-in hybrid like a Ford Fusion Energi can save 7,000 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) tailpipe emissions per year compared to a 26-mpg non-hybrid Fusion, or enough to plant 79 trees.
This is based on 15,000 annual miles, the trees are just a theoretical way to offset the greenhouse gases (GHG) released.
Not to pick on Ford, the Fusion Energi was chosen because it's mid pack on the list excluding zero-emission battery electric cars – and the non-hybrid Fusion is close to today's over 24-mpg average fuel efficiency rating.
Nissan's Leaf is the global best-selling plug-in car, and as a battery electric, has one of the lowest carbon footprints.
To be sure, better or worse comparisons could also be made but this is just to illustrate a point:
One person can make a difference with a car choice, and it's not that hard to figure out with free online calculators the U.S. EPA provides – but we get you started here.
Despite Coal, Electrified Vehicles Are Cleaner
With the advent of hybrids, plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles, automakers themselves now have choices to produce products fit for emissions standards their entire fleets will have to pass by 2025.
These cars are ahead of the curve, but while the opening Fusion versus Fusion example taken straight from EPA numbers looks like an open-and-shut case, we must disclose actual performance may be worse or better.
BMW i3. Of course there are many other reasons why electrified vehicles exist – such as for energy security, because they are a neat-driving alternative, potentially lower maintenance, and more.
A Fusion Energi rated at 129 g/mile GHG at the tailpipe is based on very averaged assumptions and it actually can operate at 0 g/mile for 19 miles, or with battery depleted it may emit a little more than a 209 g/mile Fusion Hybrid.
Nor do these tailpipe calculations account for "upstream emissions" – for electricity or gasoline.
While studies that cherry pick data have been presented to expose the alleged boondoggle of cars plugged into coal-intensive grids, also true is gasoline does not miraculously appear at the pump having bubbled freely from the ground like spring water.
Actually, there are "upstream emissions' for electricity or fossil fuels, the EPA acknowledges this, and we won't even get into myriad costs like guarding the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf War, and other environmental consequences from fossil fuels.
Tesla is the leading plug-in seller this year. The company does not believe hybrids are a good solution, and eschews gasoline. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), burning one ethanol-free gallon of gasoline produces about 19.64 pounds of CO2. One gallon of diesel yields about 22.38 pound of CO2 but diesel engines usually offset this by yielding increased fuel economy.
Keeping it simplified to look at the electric grid, upstream emissions can be estimated by zip code on an EPA calculator. According to it, our 129 g/mile Fusion Energi rises to:
• New York City: 220 g/mile
• Wheeling, West Virginia: 290 g/mile
• Marysville, Ohio: 290 g/mile
• Long Beach, California: 230 g/mile
• Kent Washington: 230 g/mile
The EPA calculator is not perfect, but it's a guide updated regularly that while still including assumptions that may not apply to some, does help get closer to reality.
And, according to it, the Fusion Energi wins even in Dallas, Texas where its 270 g/mile tailpipe-plu-upstream emissions are cleaner than the regular Fusion which is 338 g/mile nationwide.
EPA's calculator is a guide to drill down on emissions.
But the 338 g/mile for the gasoline-burning Fusion assumes zero upstream emissions for its gasoline, and that's not fair, is it?
No, and the EPA estimates another 80 g/mile for upstream gasoline emissions, so apple for apple, it's 418 g/mile for the non-hybrid Fusion vs. 290 g/mile for the Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid.
Visualizing CO2
Invisible CO2 may be hard to imagine, but according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, if we were to dye it a brown, we'd see whiffs of brown stuff coming out of tailpipes.
Not only does 6.3 pounds of gasoline produce an outsized 20 pounds of CO2, the gas itself is expanded and each pound would fill a 2.5-foot diameter rubber exercise ball.
On a given day, the tailpipe of a plug-in Fusion could fill 11.5 exercise balls, and a non-hybrid Fusion would fill 31. Factoring upstream emissions, the plug-in Fusion still holds a clear advantage.
There are 253 million cars and trucks on the roads, many emit far more than our relatively clean new examples, and can you imagine the sky filling up with all the exercise balls?
If we could see it that way, it could be like the sky is one of those kid's playground attractions just filled with colored rubber balls jumbled together.
The Chart: lowest carbon footprint cars
Every year America's regional electric grids get cleaner, meaning upstream emissions decrease annually. The same cannot be said of gasoline and diesel.
Based on EPA data, the chart presents all battery electric cars sold in the U.S., and most plug-in hybrids. We omitted a couple plug-in hybrids that emit more than regular hybrids as the subject is the lowest GHG cars.
The battery vehicle chart's hierarchy is by tailpipe-plus-upstream emissions, as all cars have no tailpipe, and are zero. The plug-in hybrids and hybrids are in order of lowest tailpipe emissions to highest.
For electrified cars, the question of upstream grid emissions only applies to battery electric and plug-in hybrids as regular hybrids generate their own electricity onboard. Non-plug-in hybrids do however have upstream emissions from gasoline.
We used a Southern California reference for the "grid," but as you know, this varies.
California is where 50 percent of the plug-in vehicles were sold last year, and its grid is at a level others are aspiring to meet.
You'll note due to peculiarities in the EPA's data, algorithms, and varying efficiency of blended gas-plus-electric powertrains that some PHEVs that do better at the tailpipe do not show superiority when upstream emissions are factored in.
Click chart to expand.
As a benchmark to compare the electrified cars to, we arbitrarily picked a 25 mpg Honda Civic with 352 g/mile tailpipe emissions and 435 g/mile tailpipe plus upstream emissions. The EPA's latest preliminary values for a national average new car sold in the country is 24.2 mpg and 367 g/mi – tailpipe-only – for 2014, and cars keep getting cleaner.
If you're interested, other popular vehicles emit much more GHG. Just at the tailpipe, you have the Ford F-150 with 3.5-liter V6 at 471 g/mile, or 16,600 pounds per year, the Honda Odyssey at 402 g/mile or 13,200 pounds annually, four-cylinder Toyota Camry at 317 g/mile or 10,400 pounds per year. You can look them up yourself at fueleconomy.gov.
You may also note on the chart the EPA says, according to its drive cycle a Prius hybrid emits just 18 g/mile more than the Chevy Volt, and beats the Cadillac ELR by 12 g/mile when factoring tailpipe plus upstream.
The 2016 Chevy Volt is expected to surpass the 2015 with greater efficiency and 50 miles electric range.
But caveats apply double to plug-in cars. These are based on EPA assumptions and a tame drive cycle that assumes a certain percentage of gas and electric. Many Volt drivers decimate these numbers by using the battery far more to drive the car than an average government cycle.
Does that mean it's false? No, under certain circumstances, if one matches the conditions the EPA works under which attempt to approximate normal driving, then your results could be close to spec.
Of course also, there are many other reasons for these cars than just carbon footprint, but this data is here for those who want to know about their relevance to climate change.
