Sitting all day isn't great for you – our sedentary lifestyles have recently been called even more dangerous than smoking. One of the more popular ways to combat this sitting epidemic is to work at a standing desk. While this method is excellent for your health, most standing desks are ridiculously expensive.
The StorkStand makes standing desks affordable for everyone by using something you've already got but don't need if you're going to start standing up at your job: your desk chair. The StorkStand is a platform that attaches to the back of your chair to provide a stable work surface complete with an iPhone holder.
It works on any office chair that can be raised to the appropriate height. The mechanism is quite simple: the end nearer to the user rests on the chair's back and two braces hold it steady. A strap provides stability and security so your expensive laptop doesn't go tumbling to the ground. With a weight capacity of 50 pounds, you can even put a few more things on the StorkStand with no worries.
Since most office chairs have wheels, it's safe to say that the StorkStand makes your workstation easily portable. When you aren't using it, its compact folded size and light weight (a smidge more than four pounds) make it easy to carry between work and home, or store it between your sitting desk and the wall until you need it again.
Multiple degrees of adjustment let you choose the right position for your roving desktop. The clever designers behind the product have made sure that weight is evenly distributed so you don't have to worry about your chair tipping over while it's got your office tools all over it. StorkStand's Kickstarter campaign was a success, and the company is now taking $199 pre-orders for handy portable standing desk.

New performances of great and rare selections from Johann Sebastian Bach's works that are different in many respects - listen to see how - the performers are mysterious.
8. W.T.C. II - Prelude and Fugue in C Sharp - E. P.
14. Prelude and Fugue in a Minor "Great"
The work at Zealous Interpretations is about performing classical composers, some already great, some which aren't always heard or ones that are seemingly ignored.
Erik Peter Hansen, (Peder McMac,) has tragically suffered brain damage and can no longer sufficiently play his or any composer's musical works, so... he created a library full of high-quality instruments, (quite a few are sampled antiques - some are unique homemade hybrids,) a vicarious performer/conductor, and several chamber orchestras using Apple Macintosh software. This ultimately is the result of desires for involvement with live performances of music again someday - his own and Bach's music especially.

Thomas Moore: translation
† Catholic_Encyclopedia ► Thomas Moore
Poet and biographer, b. 28 May, 1779, at Dublin, Ireland; d. 26 February, 1852, at Devizes, England. His father was a grocer till 1806 when he was appointed barrack-master at Dublin. His mother, a woman of varied accomplishments, did much to train him for his remarkable success in society. Thomas early manifested a remarkable power of rhyming, singing, and acting. When fifteen he was entered at Trinity College, Dublin, which by the Catholic Relief Act of 1793 had opened its doors to Catholics, who were, however, hardly more than tolerated. Denied all incentive because of his religious belief, Moore gave little or no heed to academic honours. A curious point noted by a recent biographer is that Moore was entered as a Protestant (Protestantism), possibly by his school-master, Mr. Whyte, who himself a Protestant (Protestantism), wished to qualify his favourite pupil for all the good things that the college offered to non-Catholics. Moore probably was not aware of this; at any rate he never availed himself of it. Though his education and associations were mostly Protestant (Protestantism), and though he himself was in fact after his first year in College scarcely more than a nominal Catholic, he never changed his Creed. Among his intimate friends was Robert Emmet, whose tragic death made on him a lasting impression. Moore shows thus in his writings, as in the beautiful lyric, "O breathe not his name, and also in the veiled allusions in "The Fire Worshippers", one of the four long poems of "Lalla Rookh".
After graduating in 1798 he set out in the following spring for London to study law. He was never admitted to the Bar, as legal studies had for him no attraction. Literature was more to his liking. When scarcely fifteen, some verses of his appeared in a Dublin magazine "The Anthologia Hibernica". While in college he wrote a metrical translation of the " Odes of Anacreon" which he published in London in 1800, with a dedication "by permission" to the Prince of Wales. He published in the following year his first volume of original poems under the title of "The Poetical Works of the late Thomas Little", which met with severe criticism on the grounds of indecency. Later editions were expurgated; but Moore showed his fondness for amorous poetry by recurring to it in "The Loves of the Angels". Again criticized, he bent to the storm by "turning his poor Angels into Turks". Moore's success almost from the day he set foot in England was extraordinary. It was no doubt his personal charm and the masterly singing of his own songs that gave him the start in his successful career. Like the ancient bard he sang his own accomplishment, and was welcomed everywhere.
Early in 1803 the Government proposed to establish an Irish laureateship and offered Moore the position with the same salary and emoluments as the English office of similar title, but Moore declined the honour. Another offer later in the year, that of Register of the Admiralty court of Bermuda he accepted and left England in September for his post of duty. After four months' trial, finding the office not to his liking he appointed a deputy and sailed for New York. He visited the principal cities of the States and then went to Canada. He was delighted with his Canadian tour, but was far differently impressed by "the land of the free" and its people. Judging everything from his pro-English viewpoint, he could find scarcely anything to admire in the young republic which had so lately gained its independence from England. After an absence of fourteen months he returned to London "with a volume of poetic; travels in his pocket" which with later additions he published in 1806 under the title of "Epistles, Odes and other Poems". In addition to his animadversions on America it contained several amatory pieces. The famous critic, Jeffrey, in an article in the "Edinburgh Review" attacked the book severely and called its author "the most licentious of modern versifiers". This brought on the famous "leadless duel", and paved the way for the lifelong friendship between the poet and the critic. Another challenge from Moore, this time to Lord Byron for his sarcastic reference to the "leadless pistols" used in the meeting with Jeffrey resulted in another close friendship between "hostile forces".
In 1807 Moore published the first numbers of his "Irish Melodies". Were all his other works lost, these would give him the right to the title he so much prized, "The Poet of the people of Ireland". The importance and the difficulty of this undertaking — fit words to the old national airs of Ireland — Moore fully realized. But the task of marrying words to these airs was no easy one. "The Poet", as Moore himself wrote, "who would follow the various sentiments which they express, must feel and understand that rapid fluctuation of spirits, that unaccountable mixture of gloom and levity which composes the character of my countrymen and has deeply tinged their Music". Almost all contemporary writers, among them Shelley and Landor, spoke enthusiastically of the melodies, saying that they were lyrics of the highest merit. His friend and biographer, Lord John Russell, wrote in 1853 that "of all lyrical poets Moore is surely the greatest". Moore continued to write these at intervals for twenty-seven years, receiving $500 for each, which gave him an annual income of $2500. Six of the ten numbers of his melodies were published, when he tried his hand with like success at "Sacred Songs" and "National Airs".
The lyrics, however, did not take up all his time. In 1808 he published poems on "Corruption" and on "Intolerance" and in the following year "The Sceptic". These attempts at serious satire, in which he used the heroic couplet of Pope, did not meet with success. Quite different was his next venture, this time in a lighter strain and directed against the prince, his former patron, who on becoming regent through the insanity of his father had changed front and broken with the Whigs, with whom Moore had previously allied himself. These pieces, together with those he wrote against several members of the Ministry, were gathered together and published in 1813 with the title "Intercepted Letters or The Two-penny Postbag". In this sort of light-hearted satire Moore had struck a rich vein which he worked for more than twenty years with his "Fudge Family in Paris", "The Fudges in England", and "Fable of the Holy Alliance". Moore's reputation in the literary world of his time was of the highest, as is shown from the business arrangements made for the copyright of "Lalla Rookh" (1817). Longmans, the publishers, agreed to give the highest price ever paid for a poem, $15,000, and that, too, without seeing a line of the work. And twenty years later they still called it the "cream of the copyrights". After considerable reading and some discouraging experiments, he hit upon the idea of founding a story on the long and fierce struggle between the Persian fire-worshippers and their haughty Moslem masters — a theme that had much to recommend it to an Irishman familiar with the long struggle between his countrymen and their rulers. Men who had lived long in the East marvelled at his skill in reproducing so faithfully life in the Orient with its barbaric splendours.
Scarcely was this off his hands when the news arrived that he must make good the loans of $30,000 caused by his agent in Bermuda. Moore had not saved anything out of his large income. His friends would have come to his assistance; but he would not allow them. To escape arrest he took refuge in 1819 on the continent. More than three years he had of rather enjovable exile, most of which was spent in Paris where his family joined him in 1820. He had in 1811 married a young actress, Miss Bessy Dyke. Towards the close of 1822, after settling the Bermuda claim, which had been reduced to $5,000, he took up his residence again in England. Heretofore he had been almost exclusively a writer of verse; from this on he is primarily a writer of prose:— he becomes a biographer, a controversialist, an historian. During the summer of 1823, he accompanied Lord Lansdowne on a visit to the south of Ireland. While there he learned much of the discontent among the peasants, of their secret organizations, and of their mysterious leader, Captain Rock. On his return he read history, and as a result of his reading and his sight-seeing, he wrote a History of Captain Rock and his Ancestors" which he gives the history of agrarian crimes and denounces, not the Shanavests of "Foggy Boggy Tiperary" whom eight years before he called murderous savages deserving the sword, but the bad laws of England that generated all sorts of crime. The book rnade its way everywhere. In England, perhaps for the first time, the cause of Ireland received a hearing. Naturally it became popular in Ireland where even Catholics, notwithstanding (in the words of Moore) "some infidelities to their religion which break out now and then in it", expressed in a formal manner their gratitude for his defence of their country.
This favourable reception delighted Moore, or now he began to know Ireland and her people. He came back at times to his own and endeavoured make amends for his former lack of sympathy, as may be seen in some of his later writings, as the "Life of Lord Edward Fitzgerald" (1831). This, which probably his best prose work, was a labour of love; in writing a sympathetic account of a young Irish patriot who suffered for his country in the uprising 1798, Moore could hardly hope for encouragement from an English reading public. In the meantime had published the "Life of Sheridan" (1825), awoke which had engaged his attention during the preceding seven years. So successful was it financially that publishers added $1500 to the original price of copyright. Its chief value lay, as the critic Jeffrey said, in the historical view it gave of public transactions for the past fifty years. The next prose work, "The Epicurean" (1827), has some merit as a story, but not as a study of ancient manners or as a presentation of the Epicurean philosophy. Moore was to be Byron's editor; he became, instead, his biographer. His "Life of Byron" (1830) is one of the most popular biographies ever written, though the picture given in not wholly true to life.
After finishing the life of Fitzgerald he wrote a theological treatise which he dedicated "to the people Ireland in defense of their Ancient National Faith", and called it "The Travels of an Irish Gentleman in Search of a Religion" (1834). The Irish Gentleman wishes to become a Protestant (Protestantism), studies hard at home and abroad, but fails to find anything either in Scripture or the Church Fathers to justify a change. This vindication of the Catholic Church is a curious book written as it was by one who had married a Protestant (Protestantism) and was glad to have his children brought up as Protestants (Protestantism). In his fifty-fifth year Moore doubtless took a different view of life, and saw the folly of mere worldly advantages when these involved a sacrifice of religious truth. Similar motives likely influenced him in his next and last work, "The History of Ireland" (1835-46). During much of his life he had been more of an English Whig than an Irish Nationalist. But the last of it he gave generously to his country by calling attention of the English people to their misgovernment of Ireland. The task which he undertook, however, too much for him; the one volume intended lengthened out into four, and then stopped at the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
Moore was now broken down. Financial troubles had constantly harassed him, notwithstanding his large income. He had expected, and with good reason great things from the Govermnent when his friends, the Whigs got in power. A recognition came in 1833 when he received a literary pension of $1500, to which was added, a few years before his death, another pension of $500. He was not spared domestic troubles. Two daughters died in infancy; the third lived only to be a girl of sixteen. Of his two sons one died from consumption in 1841; the other, Thomas, wild and extravagant, died in Africa in 1845. At this time Moore wrote in his "Diary": "The last of our five children is now gone and we are left desolate and alone. Not a single relative have I now left in the world". He had previously lost his parents and his sisters, his favourite Ellen dying suddenly at about the same time as his son Thomas. His life was now practically over, and he died in his seventy-third year and was buried at Bromham, near Devizes in Wiltshire. Moore's biographer, Lord John Russell, declared; "When these two great men" (Scott and Byron) "have been enumerated, I know not any writer of his time who can be put in comparison with Moore", and yet when Moore wrote, England was rich in great writers. Such praises as this rnay appear exaggerated to-day when critical opinion has swung to the opposite extreme, especially among younger writers. The truth, as usual, seems to lie between two extremes. Much of Moore's work is ephemeral, but there remains a group of lyrics that are as perfect of their kind as anything in the world of literature. In 1841 Moore collected and arranged his poems, to which he wrote interesting prefaces.
MOORE, Memoirs, Journals, and correspondence, edited by LORD JOHN RUSSELL (London, 1853-6); GWYNN, Thomas Moore (London,1905); GUNNING, Moore, Poet and Patriot (Dublin, 1900); Memoirs of the author prefixed to the poems collected by Moore himself (1841); VALLET, Etude sur lavie et les oeuvres de Thomas Moore (Paris, 1886).

How to Avert Cyberbullying
Annie Tengan July 16, 2022 7 min read
How Common Is Cyberbullying?
What Dad and mom Will need to Know
How Mothers and fathers Can Help
How Educational facilities Cope with Cyberbullying
Assets for Parents and Learners
Mom and dad give their youngsters classes and rules to continue to be protected in the actual earth – seem both of those strategies prior to crossing the road, really don't talk to strangers, usually have on a helmet.
But when it will come to the on the net globe, lots of moms and dads are basically placing their little one behind the wheel of a car without instruction or supervision. So it is no surprise that several children and even grownups are unprepared to deal with the realities of cyberbullying.
Cyberbullying is normally described as bullying or harassment that usually takes location over electronic equipment like pcs, cellphones or tablets. It can occur in excess of text, e mail, social media or gaming platforms. Though some take into account any incidence of online harassment to be cyberbullying, the Cyberbullying Study Middle suggests that, like in-person bullying, cyberbullying is characterized by harm that is "willful and repeated."
A Pew Investigation Middle survey in 2018 found that 59% of U.S. teens experienced experienced some variety of on the internet harassment, including getting physical threats and becoming the target of false rumors. But cyberbullying can start off lengthy before substantial faculty.
Amy Riley, a faculty counselor for 16 yrs at Mercer County Intermediate College in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, suggests cyberbullying has been a around-every day concern among the the college students she will work with in grades three via five.
"There was not a week that went by exactly where there wasn't some accusation of cyberbullying we had to get included in," Riley suggests of the 2021-2022 college yr. "We have young children who have documented anyone telling them how unappealing they are, an individual who told them to kill on their own on line. I've listened to from other counselors about children who have made phony accounts just to bully other youngsters."
Some research signifies that cyberbullying lowered during the study course of the pandemic. That could be simply because cyberbullying often happens in tandem with deal with-to-experience bullying, gurus say. But as learners return to in-individual finding out with better concentrations of anxiety and other psychological wellbeing worries, mom and dad and educational institutions need to be organized to guidance students facing on the internet bullying and harassment.
"Students just can't get away from it," states Environmentally friendly, who specializes in mental health and fitness and bullying avoidance. "Cyberbullying is readily available 24 hours a working day, and has this long lasting high-quality in which points get circulated and really do not disappear. In many cases, it is also hidden and adults are not aware in the very same way they are of in-particular person bullying."
Even though a 10 years back cyberbullying may have been confined to texts and email messages, the proliferation of engineering and social media use – together with at young ages – has made it far far more pervasive. Dad and mom need to specially hold an eye on new social media platforms and applications, authorities say.
"We find the largest difficulties on rising applications that grow to be well-known in a small amount of money of time and really do not have the ability to deal with all the folks making use of it," states Justin Patchin, co-founder and co-director of the Cyberbullying Analysis Centre and a professor of felony justice at the College of Wisconsin—Eau Claire. "Young folks are likely to be drawn to these new destinations and there are going to be difficulties – which is the character of the beast."
Several children experiencing cyberbullying may well not inform an adult that it is taking place, so mother and father should glimpse out for a number of warning indications. In accordance to the Cyberbullying Research Centre, a baby may be the sufferer of cyberbullying if sure behaviors are shown, which include:
Becoming anxious, unhappy or indignant all through or appropriate after being on-line.
Getting to be significantly withdrawn from loved ones or good friends.
Getting rid of fascination in beforehand savored activities.
Exhibiting modifications in marriage to college, such as a decrease in grades, wanting to keep house or frequent requests to depart school simply because of disease.
Authorities propose that dad and mom make discussions about online conduct a common exercise with their little one. Inquiring queries, listening carefully and refraining from judgment are essential to establishing open communication.
If your youngster is experiencing cyberbullying, the first stage is to accumulate evidence by taking screenshots of the posts in concern. Mom and dad should really also use the instruments of the web site or app the place the bullying is taking place. "Cyberbullying goes from all the policies of an application, so report it, and then block the human being," Patchin suggests.
On the other hand, if moms and dads uncover their youngster is the just one performing the cyberbullying, that might demand an entirely different dialogue.
"It's even extra difficult to deal with those circumstances for the reason that it's hard for you to think about your kid would do that," Patchin claims. He endorses that mom and dad tactic these conversations calmly and with an open up intellect to get to the base of why a little one engaged in bullying. In many cases, kids might not notice the damage their actions can induce.
"They consider it's joking around, so it is essential to express to youngsters how it could be substantially impacting another child," Patchin says.
Moms and dads have a quantity of equipment they can use, from limiting monitor time and which applications are obtainable to their youngster to social media checking software program. But most industry experts don't advise spying on kids.
"Instead of placing software program on the machine, have a network of good friends and family members that are hanging out on line with your young ones," Patchin suggests. "If I see you've posted anything inappropriate on Instagram, I'll let your mom know. It really does get that genuine-lifestyle network to maintain monitor."
All 50 states legally demand universities and districts to have anti-bullying policies, and nearly all states now involve cyberbullying in their laws. But just because there's a policy doesn't necessarily suggest there will be a certain solution when it comes to cyberbullying.
"If the actions is disrupting a student's capacity to discover, or if a student is not relaxed being in school, the school has the responsibility and authority to intervene," Patchin says.
But beyond that, how a university should really get concerned is challenging. And while there is a extended heritage of circumstance legislation bordering in-particular person bullying, Patchin suggests there have not been numerous cyberbullying conditions. "We know educational facilities can intervene," he says. "We just do not know if they are required."
In college counselor Amy Riley's district in Kentucky, for illustration, the policy on cyberbullying applies only to abuse that takes place on university grounds or on school technological innovation.
"It's truly difficult for us at the faculty degree for the reason that when one thing comes about outside of the faculty, we never have a ton of ability to willpower. The only way we can is if it's introduced into the university," Riley suggests. Even then, the college is typically confined to merely notifying dad and mom.
College counselors like Riley are typically a school's 1st line of protection for identifying cyberbullying, but quite a few are overcome with big volumes of college students. Riley was the sole counselor for 600 pupils at her faculty for 16 many years, till the university not long ago employed a next counselor.
That deficit highlights the have to have for more counselors and psychological health and fitness gurus in school options, but Riley also thinks possessing a social-psychological finding out curriculum – even if led by teachers – is key to serving to young children fully grasp responsible on the web habits. She has partnered with regional businesses, like the 4H, to present schoolwide lessons on cyberbullying.
Together with the increase in cyberbullying, Riley states her district also observed an uptick in suicide threats. A review from Swansea College uncovered that youthful victims of cyberbullying are 2 times as probably to attempt self-damage, and the Facilities for Condition Manage and Avoidance alert of the amplified danger of melancholy, panic and other mental health difficulties connected to all types of bullying.
Gurus say school personnel must be experienced to acknowledge risk symptoms, which incorporate pupils performing much more reserved and withdrawn or not socializing throughout free of charge time, like at recess. Riley also says adults need to have to just take student remarks about harm critically.
"When youngsters say they are down and want to get rid of themselves, there can be a inclination to lessen people responses," Riley states. "In the conditions we observed of those people who manufactured suicide threats, in almost each a person there was some fundamental situation and we have been ready to join them to means, which is so vital."

ESTABLISHMENT OF HARBOR LINES AT FIVE-MILE RIVER HARBOR,
CONNECTICUT.
ROWAYTON, CONN., October 12, 1891. DEAR SIR: Will you kindly inforın me what course to pursue to establish harbor lines at this port? I ask for information for the people of this community, who feel that their rights to our small harbor are to be trespassed upon by some of the wharf owners along the water front. We have just finished the second Government appropriation for dredging October 9, which extends from the mouth up and near the center of the harbor. The first wharf in coming up the harbor is at a point making the harbor more narrow than elsewhere, I think about 300 feet in width. The wharf at this point is to be extended about 50 feet farther out in the harbor to avoid the expense of dredging and get more wharf, taking advantage of our citizens on the plea that we can not get harbor lines established, as we are not under a corporation. Capt. John McNeil, who has been for many years harbormaster at the port of Bridgeport, Conn., advised me to write to your honorable sir for information. Respectfully yours,
Capt. 0. S. YOUNG. Hon. REDFIELD PROCTOR,
Secretary of War.
[Third indorsement.)
ENGINEER OFFICE, U.S.ARMY,
New York, January 22, 1892. Respectfully returned to the Chief of Engineers with report of this date recommending the establishment of harbor lines at the harbor of Five-Mile River, Connecticut. Capt. Young and others interested have been consulted, and the lines proposed are generally satisfactory to them.
D. C. HOUSTON, Colonel, Corps of Engineers.
REPORT OF COLONEL D. C. HOUSTON, CORPS OF ENGINEERS.
ENGINEER OFFICE, U. S. ARMY,
Nero York, January 22, 1892. GENERAL: Referring to the accompanying letter of Capt. 0. S. Young, dated October 12, 1891, on the subject of harbor lines at the harbor of Five-Mile River, Connecticut, I have the honor to transmit a tracing* showing proposed harbor lines at that harbor, which I recommend for approval. The parties interested have been consulted and the lines indicated meet with general approval. They provide a sufficient waterway for general navigation and leave ample room for the construction of wharves. The bulkhead and pierhead lines are identical. Such lines are necessary for the preservation and protection of the harbor.
The project for improvement adopted in 1888 contemplates a channel 8 feet deep at mean low water, 100 feet wide and about 6,000 feet in length, from Long Island Sound to the head of the harbor as indicated on the tracing, at an estimated cost of $25,000. The sum of $10,000 has been appropriated and $9,886,94 expended, making a channel 8 feet deep at mean low water and 60 feet wide from Long Island Sound up the harbor for a distance of 2,400 feet. Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
D. C. HOUSTON,
Colonel, Corps of Engineers. Brig. Gen. THOMAS L. CASEY,
Chief of Engineers, U. S. A.

IMPROVEMENT OF HUDSON RIVER, NEW YORK. The Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1885, Part I, page 677, contains a history of this improvement accompanied by original reports and two sketches showing its condition at that time.
The only part of the Hudson River which has been improved by the General Government is a stretch, about 20 miles long, beginning at the head of navigation at Troy, N. Y., about 6 miles above Albany, and extending down the river to New Baltimore, about 14 miles below Albany.
While there has always been enough water below New Baltimore for navigation, this upper section of the river, so far as its history is known to us, has always been obstructed by bars and shoals, due to the existence of numerous islands and sloughs and the consequent diversion
the river's waters through too many channels. Prior to 1831, when the jurisdiction of the Federal Government over these waters was confirmed by judicial decision, the State of New York had made efforts to improve the navigation of this part of the river.
Since 1831 the improvement of the Hudson River has been conducted both by the State of New York and by the General Government, both building and repairing dikes and doing such dredging as seemed necessary. In the last few years, however, the dike work has been left almost exclusively to the General Government, and the dredging to the State of New York.
The general system of improvement has been the same throughoutthe contraction of the channels by the construction of jetties and dikes intended to deepen them by means of the scour so produced, and also the lowering of the bed by dredging where such work was indispensable.
But up to 1831 the work, which had consisted almost entirely of the construction of spur dikes and dredging, had produced very little permanent improvement.
After 1831, however, the United States began the present general system of improvement, which consists of contracting the channel by means of longitudinal dikes intended to aid in scouring the bars and shoals, instead of which spur jetties had formerly been used.
Under this system the United States constructed two dikes in 1835, 1836, 1837, and 1838.
Then followed a long interval of time in which nothing was done by the United States except in 1852; but in 1863 the State of New York took up the improvement on the general plan adopted by the United States in 1831, viz, substituting a system of longitudinal dikes instead of the jetty system, and between 1863 and 1867 built six important longitudinal dikes of this kind. (Annual Report of 1885, page 678.)
The work was again taken up by the United States in 1864, when, out of the general sum appropriated for river and harbor improvements, $33,000 was allotted for the Hudson River improvement, and this was followed by the act of June 23, 1866, which appropriated $50,000 for the same work.
The plans under which the present works of improvement of the river are conducted were adopted in 1866, and provide for securing a navigable channel 11 feet deep at mean low water from New Baltimore up to Albany, and 9 feet deep at mean low water from Albany up to Troy.

My Entire Class Was Summoned To Another World Except For Me - Chapter 54 - AnythingNovel.com Read online any english novel around the world.
This world really doesn't have a god.
I tilted my head and contemplated a good answer to Lina's question.
Lina seemed as if she didn't expect my well thought out answer.
She was probably thinking that I had already told Kamaishi about my skills since we were always together at school.
She asked me about it after noticing that Kamaishi didn't actually know about my circumstances.
''Is that so? But your sister seems to be aware of it.'' Lina added another question, but in Karen's case, it was nothing more than a coincidence.
The dragon I defeated had coincidently fallen next to her, and I had no choice but to rely on her when I swooned. That's was all.
Due to that series of coincidences, I ended up telling her my secret.
There wasn't any real motive behind me telling Karen.
When I talked about it to Lina, she looked clearly impressed.
I agreed to Lina's comment.
I mean, she was right. Coincidences are really scary.
There was even a possibility of another series of coincidences could occur, leading Kamaishi to become aware of my skills.
Despite casually thinking about that possibility, I couldn't stop the feeling of uneasiness passing through my mind.
Terrorists, dragons and Lina's real identity. The more I thought about it, the more it started to seem so realistic.
Through time and experience, I realized that my premonitions tend to hit the spot in certain kinds of situations, and that was not a good thing. Cold sweat started running down my body.
My summer uniform started dampening from the heat, and my hands started to feel hot.
Lina noticed my strange conduct, but didn't mind it.
When I regained my composure, I decided to stop thinking about it for the time being.
Let's just stop thinking now.
Seeming to have recalled something again, Lina turned to me.
She's probably going to ask something weird again.
I waited for her to speak, expecting something strange, but I was surprised by the following words, in a different way than before.
I frowned after hearing what Lina had just said.
Lina continued to explain the situation.
Lina shook her head and said.
I felt something off about Lina's explanation.
Then almost as if she forgot to give an example, she added.
I couldn't hide my bafflement after hearing what she said.
I never knew that the earth didn't have a god.
This explains why Metron was able to summon my class to the other world.
There's no god here that could stop him from doing it.
Having various mysteries solved in my mind, Lina continued.
Just why would he want to do that?
Lina confirmed my words by nodding.
I worried about her, but she answered me with, ''Rest assured'' and told me the reason.
''That fallen god seems to have suffered some severe wounds before making it here. And despite calling him god, he's now nothing but a fake one who was deprived of all of his privileges. He's no different from a normal person in this state. There's no way I'd lose to him.'' Lina explained while smiling in confidence.
Just because he's wounded severely, he becomes as weak as a normal person?
She then brought up her phone near me.
I was a bit taken aback after hearing say that with a serious face.
Pressed by her serious tone, I quickly took out my phone and exchanged my address with her.
I thought she would ask for something more serious than address exchange, honestly.
Lina seemed pretty happy after getting my address. Don't tell me that she was aiming for it from the start.
A bitter smile reached my face, as I realized her true intentions, but I quickly noticed that she didn't talk about the important part.
Making a face as if she forgot to tell me his name, she replied.

Why Pop Music Is So Bad These Days
By Jon Henschen|2019-11-08T00:24:55-06:00November 7th, 2019|Categories: Education, Music|
Today's pop music is designed to sell, not inspire. Today's pop artist is often more concerned with producing something familiar to mass audience, increasing the likelihood of commercial success. With less timbral variety, and the same combination of keyboard, drum machine, and computer software, and with only two songwriters writing much of what we hear, is it any wonder that most pop music sounds the same?
Throughout grade school and high school, I was fortunate to participate in quality music programs. Our high school had a top Illinois state jazz band; I also participated in symphonic band, which gave me a greater appreciation for classical music. It wasn't enough to just read music. You would need to sight read, meaning you are given a difficult composition to play cold, without any prior practice. Sight reading would quickly reveal how fine-tuned playing "chops" really were. In college I continued in a jazz band and also took a music theory class. The experience gave me the ability to visualize music (If you play by ear only, you will never have that same depth of understanding music construct.)
Both jazz and classical art forms require not only music literacy, but for the musician to be at the top of their game in technical proficiency, tonal quality and creativity in the case of the jazz idiom. Jazz masters like John Coltrane would practice six to nine hours a day, often cutting his practice only because his inner lower lip would be bleeding from the friction caused by his mouth piece against his gums and teeth. His ability to compose and create new styles and directions for jazz was legendary. With few exceptions such as Wes Montgomery or Chet Baker, if you couldn't read music, you couldn't play jazz. In the case of classical music, if you can't read music you can't play in an orchestra or symphonic band. Over the last 20 years, musical foundations like reading and composing music are disappearing with the percentage of people that can read music notation proficiently down to 11 percent, according to some surveys.
Two primary sources for learning to read music are school programs and at home piano lessons. Public school music programs have been in decline since the 1980's, often with school administrations blaming budget cuts or needing to spend money on competing extracurricular programs. Prior to the 1980's, it was common for homes to have a piano with children taking piano lessons. Even home architecture incorporated what was referred to as a "piano window" in the living room which was positioned above an upright piano to help illuminate the music. Stores dedicated to selling pianos are dwindling across the country as fewer people take up the instrument. In 1909, piano sales were at their peak when more than 364,500 were sold, but sales have plunged to between 30,000 and 40,000 annually in the US. Demand for youth sports competes with music studies, but also, fewer parents are requiring youngsters to take lessons as part of their upbringing.
Besides the decline of music literacy and participation, there has also been a decline in the quality of music which has been proven scientifically by Joan Serra, a postdoctoral scholar at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute of the Spanish National Research Council in Barcelona. Joan and his colleagues looked at 500,000 pieces of music between 1955-2010, running songs through a complex set of algorithms examining three aspects of those songs:
1. Timbre- sound color, texture and tone quality
2. Pitch- harmonic content of the piece, including its chords, melody, and tonal arrangements
3. Loudness- volume variance adding richness and depth
The results of the study revealed that timbral variety went down over time, meaning songs are becoming more homogeneous. Translation: most pop music now sounds the same. Timbral quality peaked in the 60's and has since dropped steadily with less diversity of instruments and recording techniques. Today's pop music is largely the same with a combination of keyboard, drum machine and computer software greatly diminishing the creativity and originality. Pitch has also decreased, with the number of chords and different melodies declining. Pitch content has also decreased, with the number of chords and different melodies declining as musicians today are less adventurous in moving from one chord or note to another, opting for well-trod paths by their predecessors. Loudness was found to have increased by about one decibel every eight years. Music loudness has been manipulated by the use of compression. Compression boosts the volume of the quietest parts of the song so they match the loudest parts, reducing dynamic range. With everything now loud, it gives music a muddled sound, as everything has less punch and vibrancy due to compression.
In an interview, Billy Joel was asked what has made him a standout. He responded his ability to read and compose music made him unique in the music industry, which as he explained, was troubling for the industry when being musically literate makes you stand out. An astonishing amount of today's popular music is written by two people: Lukasz Gottwald of the United States and Max Martin from Sweden, who are both responsible for dozens of songs in the top 100 charts. You can credit Max and Dr. Luke for most the hits of these stars:
Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Swift, Jessie J., KE$HA, Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavigne, Maroon 5, Taio Cruz, Ellie Goulding, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Ariana Grande, Justin Timberlake, Nick Minaj, Celine Dion, Bon Jovi, Usher, Adam Lambert, Justin Bieber, Domino, Pink, Pitbull, One Direction, Flo Rida, Paris Hilton, The Veronicas, R. Kelly, Zebrahead
With only two people writing much of what we hear, is it any wonder music sounds the same, using the same hooks, riffs and electric drum effects?
Lyric Intelligence was also studied by Joan Serra over the last 10 years using several metrics such as "Flesch Kincaid Readability Index," which reflects how difficult a piece of text is to understand and the quality of the writing. Results showed lyric intelligence has dropped by a full grade with lyrics getting shorter, tending to repeat the same words more often. Artists that write the entirety of their own songs are very rare today. When artists like Taylor Swift claim they write their own music, it is partially true, insofar as she writes her own lyrics about her latest boyfriend breakup, but she cannot read music and lacks the ability to compose what she plays. (Don't attack me Tay-Tay Fans!)
Music electronics are another aspect of musical decline as the many untalented people we hear on the radio can't live without autotune. Autotune artificially stretches or slurs sounds in order to get it closer to center pitch. Many of today's pop musicians and rappers could not survive without autotune, which has become a sort of musical training wheels. But unlike a five-year-old riding a bike, they never take the training wheels off to mature into a better musician. Dare I even bring up the subject of U2's guitarist "The Edge" who has popularized rhythmic digital delays synchronized to the tempo of the music? You could easily argue he's more an accomplished sound engineer than a talented guitarist.
Today's music is designed to sell, not inspire. Today's artist is often more concerned with producing something familiar to mass audience, increasing the likelihood of commercial success (this is encouraged by music industry execs, who are notoriously risk-averse).
In the mid-1970's, most American high schools had a choir, orchestra, symphonic band, jazz band, and music appreciation classes. Many of today's schools limit you to a music appreciation class because it is the cheapest option. D.A. Russell wrote in the Huffington Post in an article titled, "Cancelling High School Elective, Arts and Music—So Many Reasons—So Many Lies" that music, arts and electives teachers have to face the constant threat of eliminating their courses entirely. The worst part is knowing that cancellation is almost always based on two deliberate falsehoods peddled by school administrators: 1) Cancellation is a funding issue (the big lie); 2) music and the arts are too expensive (the little lie).
The truth: Elective class periods have been usurped by standardized test prep. Administrators focus primarily on protecting their positions and the school's status by concentrating curricula on passing the tests, rather than by helping teachers be freed up from micromanaging mandates so those same teachers can teach again in their classrooms, making test prep classes unnecessary.
What can be done? First, musical literacy should be taught in our nation's school systems. In addition, parents should encourage their children to play an instrument because it has been proven to help in brain synapse connections, learning discipline, work ethic, and working within a team. While contact sports like football are proven brain damagers, music participation is a brain enhancer.

My public-school child is state-ranked in piano and flute. A public school is a PUBLIC school, and it will offer a good music program if the PUBLIC expect it of the trustees they elect. Self-government is not a computer game.

Great piece, Mr. Henschen. I think you hit the nail on the head. Most pop music is so boring. It's unbelievable that the public has a taste for it. And there is such thematic poverty. It's a one note Charlie. Grab the money, t&a and despicable consumption. You know. The "lifestyle." It's hard to watch.
Nils E Nov 10, 2019 at 2:52 pm - Reply
Well … I guess it all depends on the definition of "pop music".
The fact is that outside the mainstream arena there's a lot of really good stuff.
It's not just well crafted, but profoundly organic, thought-provoking and fascinating. Seek and you shall find.
Being a classically educated composer, pianist and musicologist with a sincere interest also in contemporary pop music, I find this type of article a bit narrow-minded. Yes, the West (perhaps the whole world) is definitely culturally declining, but it is neither a simple nor linear process.
Moreover, being also a professional sound engineer, I find the author's comments on audio limiting, usually added in the mastering process, to be rather outdated. The "loudness war" is practically over, with the new LUFS-standard. Mainstream pop has surely been over-limited many times during the last decade, but still the human ear/brain is not a level meter. It primarily reacts on musical impacts, not the amplitude.
Besides, when jazz was introduced, the well-educated generations saw it as anti-music, mere noise lacking any sophistication.

In addition to school programs and private instrumental lessons, in the past many children learned music at church. From a "square" white guy like me learning the basics of Renaissance and classical choir music in the Episcopal choir to Aretha Franklin getting her start in the gospel tradition, places of worship were an invaluable resource not only spiritually but musically.

What you said is very true! I'm a musician myself. No, I don't practice as much as Coltrane, but I do practice enough to get the job done. Yes, music has taken a beating in the last thirty years; and it's only getting worse. No wonder the folks at Guantanamo Bay use today's music to torture detainees.

MANIC STREET PREACHERS bassist NICKY WIRE has donated £1,000 towards a statue of a former world boxing champion in WALES.
Wire, a noted boxing fan, has pledged the money in order to erect a memorial to Howard Winstone, a former featherweight World Champion, in Winstone's hometown, Merthyr Tydfil. Winstone, who died last year, won the world crown in 1968, defeating the Japanese fighter Seki at the Royal Albert Hall.
John Price, chairman of the Howard Winstone Memorial Appeal, was delighted with the donation.
"We're completely knocked out. The Manics have certainly come up trumps," he told NME.COM.
Wire achieved a lifetime ambition last month when he met legendary boxing Olympian Felix Savon following the Manics' show in Cuba.

Glasgow Queen Street Station
Glasgow Queen Street is the third busiest station in Scotland, and the gateway to the City from the East and the North. The Station is undergoing major development as part of the Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement Programme, including the lengthening of platforms and the rear-rangement of the existing concourse area. Movement Strategies was commissioned by the multi-disciplinary design team at an early stage to provide passenger flow advice and to enhance the design concepts to ensure that they could accommodate the forecast demand. We were tasked with analysing and assessing the proposals at each design stage, from a customer experience, station capacity and safety perspective.
Network Rail and BDP Architects
We conducted pioneering surveys of pedestrian movement, using Bluetooth, to develop an origin-destination matrix for the station and the surrounding area which underpinned the demand forecasting for the future scenarios. We undertook modelling and simulations of the proposed layouts at each performance stage of the process to assess the station operation. Our analysis evaluated different modes of operation and helped to optimise design elements to ensure comfortable and safe performance during normal operations was achievable. We have also helped to balance the design response between efficiently accommodating normal operations and the need to increase station resilience to train disruption, evacuation and other abnormal events.
Movement Strategies has also supported Network Rail's application of the scheme under the Transport and Works (Scotland) Act 2007 ("TAWS"). We provided written evidence on how pedestrian flow affects the design of the new station building. We also acted as an expert witness during the public enquiry about the redevelopment of Glasgow Queen Street Station in May 2016.
We identified areas where the station upgrades and future demand would potentially lead to bottlenecks during the peak hours. We advised on the required platform widths and specified the optimum number and position of gates, which lead to cost savings, whilst also compliance with the Network Rail design standards. We also assessed how the station would operate during the construction phases and identified how best to accommodate the routes impacted by the works safely.

Policing in America Today
By Stephen J. Sampson, Ph.D. Over many decades in the United States, the term "peace officer" has been replaced with the terms "police officer" and "law enforcement officer." This shift has occurred due to a consensus that officers were potentially applying too much discretion in their application of the law. By switching from "peace officers" to "law enforcement officers," the primary ...

I received Diane as part of the Julep Maven Box for November 2011. Actually, this was a shelf pull I requested called Polish Lover Option. Normally, I am sent the Classic with a Twist box. Even though the box of goodies I would have received was pretty, I really didn't need a new lipgloss. Plus, being such a nail polish lover, how could I resist adding three beautiful new colors to my collection?
I have such a difficult time finding a nice looking green for me. Most of the greens I've worn make my hand look terrible. Despite my many fail attempts to find the perfect green, I continue my search. When I first put on Diane, I thought it looked nice enough on me. But looking at my pictures now, I'm not too convinced this is the right green for me. However, I still can appreciate the beauty of this one. It's such a lush looking green; any green lover out there would favor this one.
I found the formula on this particular Julep color to be thinner and a bit runny. Not that it was a terrible thing, but I had to work really fast, or the polish would drip down and pool on the nail. Aside from the thin formula, the application was nice and smooth. Just make sure to get as much as the excess polish off the brush, and work fast!
I think this looks gorgeous on you! Greens can be so tricky though, for me I have to make sure they don't lean yellow, or my hands look strange.
Hi Blu! I like it on you. It's dark enough that it pop against your skin. I'm going to keep your application tips in mind when I try out Diane!

Chameleon's new friendship with NRM should be a big lesson for NUPs
By Abbey Kibirige Semuwemba
FDC must, arguably, be the most civilised party in Uganda. I'm surprised most of their members aren't making a big deal out of Jose Chameleon's defection to NRM, as NUP members did with Owekitibwa Joyce Ssebugwawo's. I remember warning them (NUPs) at the time -- that there are a lot of NUPs sitting on the fences just waiting for the right time to cross, but as usual, they only concentrated on mindlessly celebrating FDC problems – Christmas had somehow come so early for them.
For the record, Jose Chameleon, like the former 10 DP MPs, officially joined NUP in August 2020. He was denied a chance to stand as NUP candidate for Kampala Lord Mayorship this month last year, and he has presumably left NUP in the same month this year. It means he has been a NUP member for, at least, 1 year, as long as Hon. Beti Nambooze and others, have.
Going by the reasoning of some NUP members I have so far interacted with, they seem to think that one only becomes a member of the party by word of the mouth, which isn't true. Political parties' membership aren't like converting to another religion, or supporting a football club, where I'm a Chelsea fan but I don't have a Chelsea FC membership card. One has to register and get a membership card to be a recognised member of the party, which Jose Chameleon did. Otherwise, just saying that you support a certain party, or donate to it, or you have it at heart, it doesn't make you a member. I'm sure Jose hasn't yet officially joined NRM party because I didn't see him getting the NRM card while getting a car. So, technically speaking, Jose is still a NUP member till he's officially expelled by his party, or when he gets a NRM card.
Moving forward, I request NUP members to stop thinking that they have brought anything special to the opposition politics. Whatever problems NUP is facing, FDC and other parties have faced them before. NUP, itself, isn't anything special by any standards – you are just a doll party started in 2004 by Mr. Kibalama and others for reasons best known to themselves. So, its leadership should try and work with FDC and stop demonising Besigye. Just recently, Erias Lukwago was nominated to become the FDC vice president in Buganda, but the messages I read on social media from NUPs were astounding. I don't know why they think they must continue their wars with the FDC leadership,like, forever.
What NUPs must know is that today's Italians aren't Romans, today's Greeks aren't those of the 5th century BC, and today's Chinese aren't the ones who invented gunpowder and "rockets". Same goes for the Egyptians, Aztecs, Mayas. What matters is who is on top of the heap NOW, and in Uganda's case, its NRM and Museveni on top, and will do everything possible to keep the opposition in a bogus state it is now.

Today, Apr. 4, biblical scholars and theologians from around the world converge on the Billy Graham Center (BGC) for Wheaton's 28th annual Theology Conference.
Last year's conference brought in the second most attendees in the conference's history when Marilynne Robinson came to discuss her book, "Gilead." This year, Office Administrator and Conference Coordinator Krista Sanchez expects there to be about 75 registered attendees from outside of campus and a couple hundred members in total when combined with Wheaton faculty and students.
Fleming Rutledge, one of the first women ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church, is a keynote speaker this year. Student workers and conference committee members expect her lecture to draw in the most people.
Not only is Rutledge a premier preacher in the United States, she is also recognized around Canada and the UK as an accomplished teacher and Old Testament scholar. She has published numerous books that deal with the intersection of theology and modern culture. The faculty and administration believe that her contributions to the conference will aid in communicating a message that they feel needs to be shared.
Dean of Biblical and Theological Studies and the Conference Committee Chair, David Capes, proposed the theme to the administration because he and his colleagues feel that the humanity of Jesus is overlooked in the church today.
Capes feels that the subject of Jesus' humanity has many implications for the way Christians live out their faith and confront major issues. To help evangelicals better understand the incarnation, he and the other faculty chair of the Conference Committee and Professor of Theology, George Kalantzis, brought in speakers with different areas of expertise. There are a number of New Testament scholars, as well as scholars in Christian art, who will explore various aspects of Jesus' humanity. There will also be speakers who focus more on culturally relevant applications of the topic.
Student workers who have been involved in promotion and advertising are excited to explore a topic that they feel is relevant.
But for Lauber and Capes, this conference is not only for scholars and theologians.
Lauber believes that students need to take advantage of the opportunity to attend such timely lectures and hear nationally recognized speakers.

TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY
INKBOY | Artist & Designer
by chrisxcosta | posted in: Blog | 0
The new kid with influences from an old block. inkboy is a Melbourne based artist and designer specialising in the modernisation of classic animated art of the 1930's.
Drawing influences from his home town of Melbourne and the likes of Disney and Fleisher, he aims to puts a cup and a half of charisma into every piece.
YOU'VE WORKED IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT MEDIUMS, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO MORE OF IN 2019?
well that's a tough one, I honestly enjoy digital work most of all but some more acrylic murals would be what I'm aiming for this year.
Painting a two story character is definitely in the dream journal.
WHO/WHAT EMPOWERS YOU?
The support of strangers goes a long way to making me feel like I've got a weird little place in the world that matters (strangely)
to people and I don't want to let those people down. It's who I do it for that makes the biggest impact in particular my partner
and friends who keep me aiming higher and are reminders of what is most important.
DO YOU FIND IT EASY WORKING FOR YOURSELF OR ARE THERE STRUGGLES IN FREELANCING?
I've been working as a designer during the week for the past couple years while keeping freelance up during nights and weekends,
so I can definitely say the true struggle is lack of free time while trying to balance life and sleep. Discipline is definitely
the biggest factor for me; it's all too easy to pick up the xbox controller and zone out some days.
WHAT CARTOON, POP CULTURE OR MOVIE CHARACTER DO YOU MOST RESEMBLE IN PERSONALITY
This one took a lot of thinking, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm Jane from Daria. Just with worse boots and less ear piercings,
but who knows; maybe its time for a makeover.
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 5 YEARS TIME?
Alive and well, with my own studio that would double as a gallery specialising in alternative design and branding;
connecting Melbourne and international artists.
OUTSIDE OF ART WHAT'S A SPECIAL TALENT OF YOURS THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW OF?
I used to play Cello for 7 or 8 years; If I could pick that up again i'd vibrato your socks off.
OVERATED? UNDERATED?
Overrated, Ramen. Underrated, Soba.
3 WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
Grave Yard Mickey
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO AT THE MOMENT?
AMO from Bring Me the Horizon, huge fan of their new direction and stoked to see them later in the year.
WHAT'S A MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE THAT'S TAKEN YOUR BREATH AWAY?
Now that, is a tricky one. The obvious one is probably too similar to a romantic comedy so I'll go with a tale I like to call "Curry Udon".
Upon my most recent trip to the land known as "Japan" me and my partner stumbled into a small restaurant on a muggy night in Tokyo.
The lights of the nearby taxis flashed by as we stood confounded by the sign in front of us. Curry…Udon.
With a morbid curiosity we fumbled in and took our seat, surrounded by bibs and chopsticks it soon became clear we were in for something new.
Curry laksa, udon? was it the perfect combination. Yes it was. Never to be found beyond the boundaries of Japan the illusive curry udon will exist in our hearts until we are
reunited another year, in another time.
Go check out the amazing work INKBOY is doing on his website
and make sure to head over to his Instagram and show him some love.

Dr. Seuss, a.k.a. Author Theodore Geisel, actually wrote "Green Eggs and Ham" on a bet that he couldn't write a book with fifty or fewer distinct words. Practice this recipe once or twice, and we're willing to bet it'll become your new signature dish. For our latest meal, courtesy of Chef Ned Bell, we're convinced that even Dr. Seuss would approve of this delicious Green Eggs and Salmon recipe. Whether you're in a box or with a fox, this appetizing meal that's healthy and high in protein is worth a try!
Blend all dressing ingredients in a food processor until it's smooth.
Adjust seasoning with sea salt and pepper to taste. Set aside until you're ready to build your breakfast skillet for baking.
Watch this video demonstration for how to cure wild salmon fillets.
Once rinsed, coat salmon fillets with a little olive oil, and season with a pastrami spice blend before grilling. We suggest picking up a premade pastrami seasoning blend, but you can also make your own.
From there, just keep an eye on the salmon and cook it to your preference. While salmon is cooking, prepare breakfast skillet for baking.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, while you prepare the ingredients.
In a cast iron skillet or oven-safe casserole dish, toss a few tablespoons of the green chickpeas to cover the bottom of the dish.
Add two generous spoonfuls of the green chickpea dressing into the center of the skillet.
Crack 2 eggs on either side of the green chickpea dressing.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until the eggs are set, but not hard.
Remove from the oven and dish out onto serving plates. Add your salmon fillets once cooked, along with the ricotta, some sliced avocado and pea shoots on top.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and check out our pictures to see how the dish is presented.
About Chef Ned Bell: Farms, lakes and oceans to table is an essential mandate of Chef Ned Bell. Growing up in the Okanagan Valley has instilled in him a lifelong passion for fresh and locally sourced cuisine. Chef Bell believes that food doesn't need to be complicated, but it is important to know where it comes from. When the apron is off, Ned can be found running local trails, cycling and spending time with family.

Jean-Gabriel Domergue
Courtesy of Musée du Montparnasse
Jean-Gabriel Domergue exhibition in the Musée du Montparnasse.
Musée du Montparnasse
21, avenue du Maine
75015 Paris http://www.museedumontparnasse.net/
Jean-Gabriel Domergue was born in Bordeaux, France on March 4th, 1889.
An extremely talented and precocious painter, Domergue exhibited works at the Salon Des Artistes Français (the French Artists Exhibition) in 1906 at the young age of seventeen. In 1913, he was awarded the Second Prize of Rome and went on to win the gold medal award in the 1920 show. He then began showing outside the exhibition.
Having first been recognized for his landscapes which he painted with great ease, his career took a decisive turn during the 1920's. At this time he became the painter of the "Parisian lady".
Domergue invented a new type of woman : thin, airy, elegant, with a swanlike neck and wide seductive eyes which gaze upon the world with longing.
"I invented the pin-up" he later claimed.
Le Peintre et ses Modèles
Even though Domergue painted numerous nudes using fashionable actresses or young dancers as his models, he was nevertheless, highly prized in the aristocratic and high society circles painting individuals such as Liane de Pougy or Nadine, the future Baroness of Rothschild.
Domergue was also one the main organizers for famous Parisian gala events such as « The Venetian Ball » at the Opera in 1922 and other events using the Second Empire as its theme in Paris and also Cannes, Monte-Carlo, Juan-les-Pins, Biarritz and of course, Deauville.
Quite influential, he played an essential role in the evolution of fashion in his era.
He designed numerous dresses, hats and accessories for famous couturier such as Paul Poiret and Henry Marque.
Even though 1920 remains the turning point in Domergue's career towards feminine portrayals, his style developed all throughout his artistic career.
His quasi-definitive form appeared at the beginning of the 1930's.
From this time on Domergue was at the peak of his career; his paintings were no longer dated even though often titled on the back (oil canvasses or hardboards) and sometimes numbered.
Having knowledge of this perfected style and trend allows the trained eye to accurately date his works of art.
Domergue had a talent for highlighting the fickle and dazzling side of a beautiful woman that one likes to imagine.
His elegant mastery of the paintbrush places him in the tradition of artists such as Fragonnard and Watteau who in the 18th century helped establish the canons of beauty of their epoch.
His classical training combined with an aura of fantasy make Domergue's portraits unlike any others.
Domergue changed the way women were portrayed, breaking the traditional melancholic and vaporish poses.
Images were taken at the
exhibition by Mila Ryk,
publisher of
Art & Beyond publications
The female figure became airy, sparkling and effervescent like Champagne bubbles laying the ground in his own way for the feminine revolution which began in the next decades. No one can remain unaffected when gazing upon such gaiety and sensitivity portrayed by the subtle style of his stroke.
One side of Jean-Gabriel Domergue's life is not as well-known ; he was Curator of the Jacquemart-André Museum in Paris starting from 1955.
Under his leadership, extraordinary exhibitions were organized. Most notably were his tributes to Léonard de Vinci, Seurat, Prud'Hon, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Berthe Morisot and Francisco Goya. Furthermore, it was during his organization for the exhibit in honour of his own master, Giovanni Boldini, that he passed away in 1962.
Domergue was made Knight of the Legion of Honour and Fellow of the Academy of Fine Arts.
